0:00:15 > 0:00:17Hello and welcome to our look at the Sunday papers.

0:00:17 > 0:00:21With me are the broadcaster Lynn Faulds Wood and the Political Editor

0:00:21 > 0:00:22of the Sun on Sunday, Dave Wooding.

0:00:22 > 0:00:29Let's have a look at some of the front pages.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32The Observer leads with Labour's attack on the privatised water

0:00:32 > 0:00:34industry, calling the amount in dividends paid to

0:00:34 > 0:00:38shareholders "scandalous".

0:00:38 > 0:00:41The Mail on Sunday's front page says that Brendan Cox,

0:00:41 > 0:00:44husband of murdered MP Jo Cox, was accused of sexual abuse.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48His lawyers say he vehemently denies the allegations.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51The Sunday Telegraph reports on concerns

0:00:51 > 0:00:54from some EU countries that Chief Brexit Negotiator Michel

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Barnier's conduct could lead to the UK walking away

0:00:56 > 0:00:59from Brexit talks.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02The Sunday Express previews a speech from the Prime Minster,

0:01:02 > 0:01:05saying she will set out plans to make the UK "a truly global,

0:01:05 > 0:01:08free trading nation".

0:01:08 > 0:01:10The Sunday Times has more

0:01:10 > 0:01:13allegations concerning the conduct of aid workers, suggesting that more

0:01:13 > 0:01:16than 120 people working for leading charities have been accused

0:01:17 > 0:01:24of sexual abuse in the past year.

0:01:24 > 0:01:30There we go. That start off with that story in the Observer,

0:01:30 > 0:01:36continuing allegations about Oxfam. Their front page have line, Oxfam

0:01:36 > 0:01:42faces fresh claims over a start paying for sex. We have seen the

0:01:42 > 0:01:46allegations.Some of the front pages I find a bit thin. Based on not much

0:01:46 > 0:01:58evidence. In this wonder is quite a lot of evidence. Oxfam's chap...

0:01:58 > 0:02:02This was 200,000 people died in the earthquake. You don't move into a

0:02:02 > 0:02:07nice flat and then run things. It's horrible barren ground. You have to

0:02:07 > 0:02:12find people who were prepared to go into these words owns. -- horrible

0:02:12 > 0:02:19bear on the ground. There were 2000 charities piling in there. It's a

0:02:19 > 0:02:22bit chaotic. However, they found out that this guy has got form because

0:02:22 > 0:02:29he was previously in Chad, when there was a civil war. He has been

0:02:29 > 0:02:32one of these people prepared to go to hotspots, and hasn't been much

0:02:32 > 0:02:38control over what he has been doing, it looks like. A sacked for people

0:02:38 > 0:02:41in 2011, and they put in new contracts were they have to sign

0:02:41 > 0:02:44that they want to give people money, won't exploit under 18-year-olds and

0:02:44 > 0:02:50so on. But it looks as if they have handled it really badly. They should

0:02:50 > 0:02:55have warned more about what was going on, they should have told the

0:02:55 > 0:03:01Charity commission more about what was going on. Getting hit for to do

0:03:01 > 0:03:05so, and more stuff is going to turn up. They have safeguarding teams

0:03:05 > 0:03:11now, whistle-blowing. But the papers are finding out all sorts of things

0:03:11 > 0:03:16went on that really, this is only six years ago, should have been

0:03:16 > 0:03:21disclosed to us.How damaging is this going to be to Oxfam is

0:03:21 > 0:03:25potentially other charities, in terms of, obviously, they depend on

0:03:25 > 0:03:31goodwill from the public to raise funds?Oxfam is the gold star of

0:03:31 > 0:03:36charities. It is a big brand, a major brand. When you want to help

0:03:36 > 0:03:40developing countries, it is one of the charities you think of first. If

0:03:40 > 0:03:44we ask journalists were doing something about a tragedy of some

0:03:44 > 0:03:48kind in these far-flung countries, which charity do you ring first?

0:03:48 > 0:03:55Oxfam.It is a trusted brands.They received £32 million last year from

0:03:55 > 0:04:02the government. As well as money from well-wishers and donors. Small

0:04:02 > 0:04:07donations, the donations. This is massive. We have stories already

0:04:07 > 0:04:11about the huge salaries paid to the bosses of these charities. Now we

0:04:11 > 0:04:15are seeing some of these key workers, in Chad here, having sex

0:04:15 > 0:04:18parties in their houses, when they're supposed to be helping

0:04:18 > 0:04:25people. It's going to be really long-term damage for them. They do

0:04:25 > 0:04:28good work, in fairness, we have to accept that these charities do a lot

0:04:28 > 0:04:33of good work, but this just doesn't help at all.They do great work.

0:04:33 > 0:04:40Oxfam is like the BBC, a trusted global brands. Several points made

0:04:40 > 0:04:44in the article, who do you think runs Oxfam? They say here that it is

0:04:44 > 0:04:50mainly white blokes and that they -- the trustees also are mainly white.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54In these countries, they tend to be white blokes again and that are out

0:04:54 > 0:05:01there. The locals will think twice about reporting a white man in these

0:05:01 > 0:05:07countries. There is a lot. I think Oxfam is a great charity, and I hope

0:05:07 > 0:05:10they can get through this and that people don't withdraw too much

0:05:10 > 0:05:16funding. It is the world needs them. The Sunday Times are focusing on the

0:05:16 > 0:05:20same story. The daily Times has been making the running on this Oxfam

0:05:20 > 0:05:26story during the week. They're saying more than 120 workers from

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Britain's leading charities have been accused of sexual abuse in the

0:05:28 > 0:05:33last year alone. Fuelling fears that paedophiles are targeting overseas

0:05:33 > 0:05:38aid organisations.There are other household names being dragged into

0:05:38 > 0:05:45this now. The figures are quite gobsmacking. Oxfam, 87 incidents

0:05:45 > 0:05:48reported, 53 of them sent to the police. They do children are

0:05:48 > 0:05:53involved now in various allegations. 31 people there, ten of them refer

0:05:53 > 0:05:58to the police. Christian Aid, the British Red Cross as well. All of

0:05:58 > 0:06:03these charities have had incidents. What seems to be the theme is that

0:06:03 > 0:06:07they're concerned with damage to their reputation, damage or

0:06:07 > 0:06:15imitation and PR than they are about coming clean and dealing with these

0:06:15 > 0:06:18problems.I've been very involved in the charity world of cancer. I think

0:06:18 > 0:06:23they're quite often run by naive, kindly people. Or that is the way

0:06:23 > 0:06:28they start out. I don't see evil coming at them well enough. They

0:06:28 > 0:06:32have to get better at looking at their staff, especially in hotspots,

0:06:32 > 0:06:35where they have hundreds of thousands of millions of vulnerable

0:06:35 > 0:06:38people, and making sure that they somehow have intelligence spread

0:06:38 > 0:06:43between themselves. Some of the people they sacked in 2011 have gone

0:06:43 > 0:06:48on to work in other charities in other hotspots. And probably behaved

0:06:48 > 0:06:54in the same way.OK, let's go onto another story that is in the

0:06:54 > 0:07:01Observer. This is about Labour's nationalisation plans. The headline,

0:07:01 > 0:07:04the water pay-outs are a public scandal, says Labour. The Shadow

0:07:04 > 0:07:11Chancellor promising permanence, total and cost free

0:07:11 > 0:07:14renationalisation of water, energy and rail. If Labour win the next

0:07:14 > 0:07:21election.Back to the future! Those of a certain age will remember the

0:07:21 > 0:07:26nationalised industries. A new generation now seeing the railways

0:07:26 > 0:07:30as they have been for the last 30 or 40 years, privatised and still might

0:07:30 > 0:07:34them. They don't know what nationalised railways were right.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38And then of course the water industry and the power industries

0:07:38 > 0:07:41are all within the site of the Labour Party now. John McDonnell,

0:07:41 > 0:07:44Shadow Chancellor, is highlighting in the Observer piece of the Private

0:07:44 > 0:07:50water authorities have a lot of criticism about them. They make

0:07:50 > 0:07:54profits and they haven't invested money in dealing with the

0:07:54 > 0:07:59underground is...Is this a vote winner?Possibly. I think British

0:07:59 > 0:08:02rail is more a vote winner than anything else. That's consistently

0:08:02 > 0:08:08is the only thing, certainly at the last election, that Labour were

0:08:08 > 0:08:13polling high in against the Conservatives.I'm waiting.People

0:08:13 > 0:08:18do want to see the roadways improve. John McDonnell's big problem is

0:08:18 > 0:08:21convincing us all how he's going to paper at this. He said yesterday he

0:08:21 > 0:08:27is going to borrow money as exit and everyone gasped. He said it's just

0:08:27 > 0:08:30like borrowing a mortgage to buy a house, and he rented out and get

0:08:30 > 0:08:34money back in from the people you read too. You make so much profit,

0:08:34 > 0:08:38pay off the mortgage and spend some money on dealing with the repairs

0:08:38 > 0:08:42inside, riding a better service. The problem is, who were you going to

0:08:42 > 0:08:46get to do the dealing with it? Politicians don't normally make a

0:08:46 > 0:08:52good job of running things.Visibly and man in the audience at question

0:08:52 > 0:08:57time a week or two ago, saying, they are already owned by nationalised

0:08:57 > 0:09:01industries. -- there was a brilliant man. The company 's own utilities,

0:09:01 > 0:09:09our water are so one, and rail. They all already nationalised. In

0:09:09 > 0:09:12Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, they have all got

0:09:12 > 0:09:18nationalised industries. They own large chunks of our industries. I

0:09:18 > 0:09:22think there is a third way that needs to be looked at, not the hard

0:09:22 > 0:09:25nationalisation, not the free for all but we seem to have on private

0:09:25 > 0:09:32companies owning this and paying their... Paying more money than they

0:09:32 > 0:09:37need to. And also they get tax benefits, tax credits that outweigh

0:09:37 > 0:09:44the tax they pay. There should be a third way. If it works in these

0:09:44 > 0:09:48other European countries, why aren't we doing more of it here?That talk

0:09:48 > 0:09:55about Brexit. No paper review would be complete without our Brexit

0:09:55 > 0:09:59round-up. The Sunday Telegraph have a big front-page lead about Michel

0:09:59 > 0:10:06Barnier. You have been talking pretty tough again about the UK. --

0:10:06 > 0:10:11he has been talking. Some of the other 27 countries in the EU are

0:10:11 > 0:10:14worried that Michel Barnier is risking a UK walk-out. Is that

0:10:14 > 0:10:20right?Michel Barnier is being accused, the chief negotiator, of

0:10:20 > 0:10:27being a bit of the bully this week. He has been saying...He says the

0:10:27 > 0:10:32transition is not a given.They will ground the planes from flying across

0:10:32 > 0:10:36Europe. I can't see that happening. They seem to be doing all the

0:10:36 > 0:10:42running. They seem to be digging their heels in, playing hardball. We

0:10:42 > 0:10:46seem to be of four bit more meat and smiled at these negotiations.We are

0:10:46 > 0:10:55also divided.The Labour Party want to show that the tree government are

0:10:55 > 0:10:58doing a bad job. And you have the Remainers as well.And then the

0:10:58 > 0:11:06government..Michel Barnier represent the 27th? Do you think the

0:11:06 > 0:11:12location is he's going out on the bit about them?I think it could be

0:11:12 > 0:11:15a bit of that. They're claiming that the Nordics and the Eastern

0:11:15 > 0:11:22Europeans are not feeling that this is being well handled. I would

0:11:22 > 0:11:26love... I did watchdog for ten years. I have never been allowed to

0:11:26 > 0:11:29put everything on screen that haven't got evidence backing it up.

0:11:29 > 0:11:37I don't see the evidence here.I do believe the actual thrust but if the

0:11:37 > 0:11:41British government were to walk away at... One of the points he wants to

0:11:41 > 0:11:44do, Michel Barnier, is to say, during the two-year transition, we

0:11:44 > 0:11:49have to abide by new directives that are issued in that two years. There

0:11:49 > 0:11:53is about 40 of them being lined up. We also have to continue to pay our

0:11:53 > 0:12:08money on. Is Britain said OK, we have got power of veto, not good to

0:12:08 > 0:12:12pay you a penny. They were like that. We have a negotiating strategy

0:12:12 > 0:12:18as well as the EU in this. This is all to be fleshed out over the next

0:12:18 > 0:12:23few weeks.I would like to see a strategy from the government.They

0:12:23 > 0:12:27have been talking about that in this Brexit Cabinet committee.It is

0:12:27 > 0:12:32called a war cabinet. We are not at war! We chose to leave, let's do it

0:12:32 > 0:12:38nicely. There were too many men involved in this story. Let's have

0:12:38 > 0:12:48better language.That let a woman in. Hang on, Theresa May is doing a!

0:12:48 > 0:12:52Let's go onto cheerleaders in the Observer. A great story about the

0:12:52 > 0:12:59Winter Olympics. The North Korean spare the sister of Kim Jong-un. I

0:12:59 > 0:13:05skip to paper. Never mind. We will stay with the Observer. We have

0:13:05 > 0:13:15these cheerleaders in Jung Chang for the Winter Olympics. -- into Jung

0:13:15 > 0:13:19Chang. They are doing synchronised clapping which is rather wonderful.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23Is this an opportunity for some detente between North and South

0:13:23 > 0:13:27Korea?It certainly looks like it. They are talking as if they are

0:13:27 > 0:13:30united at least over the Winter Olympics. The cheerleaders have to

0:13:30 > 0:13:34move a lot of people out of the seats of the Google be together. It

0:13:34 > 0:13:37looked like they have been rehearsing for weeks to do this

0:13:37 > 0:13:47synchronised charger leading. -- so they could be together. We know

0:13:47 > 0:13:51China is worried that the North will get too cosy with the South. America

0:13:51 > 0:13:54is worried that the Southgate too cosy with the North. They are caught

0:13:54 > 0:13:59between two superpowers. It's nice to see something positive happening,

0:13:59 > 0:14:05when up to now we have been frightened of these nukes.That

0:14:05 > 0:14:09picture of Kim Jong-un's sister checking hands with the South Korean

0:14:09 > 0:14:17president.It is 60 or 70 years since these countries have been

0:14:17 > 0:14:21officially at war. I think it's tremendous. It shows there is a hope

0:14:21 > 0:14:25even in what we think is the most stark scenarios. What I love about

0:14:25 > 0:14:29these is that instead of watching this first game where the two

0:14:29 > 0:14:34countries played together in the Olympics, and sadly lost, everyone

0:14:34 > 0:14:37was watching the cheerleaders rather than the games. They were so

0:14:37 > 0:14:40excited. I'm going to watch Liverpool this afternoon. They're

0:14:40 > 0:14:47all dressed in red. I think we should get them cheering on the red!

0:14:47 > 0:14:49'Sin all comes down to football!

0:14:51 > 0:14:58The Sunday Telegraph. We talked before about the Boris Bridge, this

0:14:58 > 0:15:02idea that Boris Johnson talked about, as well as the tunnel we

0:15:02 > 0:15:06might have a bridge across the Channel. There was quite a lot of

0:15:06 > 0:15:11scepticism when he first mentioned back. The Sunday Telegraph

0:15:11 > 0:15:16suggesting it. Dreams May come true. Is very longer bridge anywhere in

0:15:16 > 0:15:25the world?There is one in China which is huge. There is a big one in

0:15:25 > 0:15:29Sweden but I don't know what it's called.It's not another Boris

0:15:29 > 0:15:40distraction...It may be a bridge too far.They were able to put in

0:15:40 > 0:15:43measures to stop the IRA blowing up the tunnel or minimise the

0:15:43 > 0:15:46likelihood. How will you stop people sailing under a bridge and blowing

0:15:46 > 0:15:53it up underneath it? It just seems to me completely impractical. As not

0:15:53 > 0:15:59fall through, which may of course be Boris's way of making a distraction.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01It's like Trump, you just lob something out there to distract

0:16:01 > 0:16:07people from what's really happening. The thrust of this story, despite

0:16:07 > 0:16:16the government rolling arrives, is that the French boss of Eurotunnel

0:16:16 > 0:16:20has not ruled this out. In fact he's going a bit further in saying they

0:16:20 > 0:16:22are positively looking at this and it might be something... They're

0:16:22 > 0:16:28always looking at ways to extend their...Of course.I would have

0:16:28 > 0:16:36thought another tunnel.You can control a tunnel. The huge flaw with

0:16:36 > 0:16:40the bridges that you can't control it. And who is going to pay for it?

0:16:40 > 0:16:45Is the Mexicans again? Or money tree?I think you work and using the

0:16:45 > 0:16:53issue! -- or confusing the issue. This is a nice story in the Sunday

0:16:53 > 0:17:02Times. I've felt by, and that of a heart-throb, isn't it? -- he has

0:17:02 > 0:17:10been touted as a possible James Bond in the past. -- Idris Elba. He has

0:17:10 > 0:17:15proposed to his 29-year-old girlfriend. The Post yesterday as a

0:17:15 > 0:17:20preview of his new film. Actually in the cinema. Siovas proposed her.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29Everyone piled Andy Dalton. It used to be one of those areas that no

0:17:29 > 0:17:33light was shown on. So thank you very much, Idris Elba. I used to

0:17:33 > 0:17:38watch on the wire and he was brilliant. He is a wonderful actor

0:17:38 > 0:17:43and I wish or the luck in the world. It is is time achieved. The paper

0:17:43 > 0:17:47describes the breast to us short lived.I don't big we need to go too

0:17:47 > 0:18:02much into that. -- describes the first two marriages as short lived.

0:18:02 > 0:18:07I love the Tutte week. One young woman puts, I am heartbroken. Please

0:18:07 > 0:18:12note texts or calls today. Another Brits, don't worry, he will be back

0:18:12 > 0:18:19on the market within a couple of years.For an actor that lives an

0:18:19 > 0:18:25extraordinary life, he looks like a nice bloke.Speaking of nice people

0:18:25 > 0:18:29who are actors, let's talk about sex and the city. This is the nice --

0:18:29 > 0:18:34the front page of the mail on Sunday. There is a bit of a war

0:18:34 > 0:18:41going on between the sex and the city stars. You are a bit of a fan,

0:18:41 > 0:18:45I think?No, I... Way back when. It was novel a long time ago. There

0:18:45 > 0:18:51were two films and... This is between Kim could row and Sarah

0:18:51 > 0:18:58Jessica Parker. Jim's brother has very sadly died. He looks to have

0:18:58 > 0:19:06been a bit troubled. -- Kim. Sarah Jessica Parker tweeted or text it is

0:19:06 > 0:19:14publicly about her sympathy. King trowel jests went straight into her,

0:19:14 > 0:19:19saying she should not have sent out that tweets. But out. There seems to

0:19:19 > 0:19:30be very bad blood.Alter a hypocrite as well.I can't find my paper.Stop

0:19:30 > 0:19:34exposing our tragedy, you cruel grids. You assume have a watch that

0:19:34 > 0:19:46theory is that they're all great friends. -- cruel hypocrites.It is

0:19:46 > 0:19:54like the series friends, do you think they all got on well? You were

0:19:54 > 0:20:01a huge fan of sex and the city, weren't you?It was one of these

0:20:01 > 0:20:07programmes with fashion, cocktail. It went across various age groups.

0:20:07 > 0:20:11Young people and older people. It was a bit of a cult series. When

0:20:11 > 0:20:15something gets so popular, people buy into the personalities they see

0:20:15 > 0:20:19us believe that, not that they are real, but that's that is what

0:20:19 > 0:20:28they're in person. Clearly they are not. There is some friction.The

0:20:28 > 0:20:32tweaks, and you were normally allowed 140 characters, this is an
