11/02/2018 The Papers

by seeing their parent drunk.

Hello and welcome to our look

at the Sunday papers.

With me are the broadcaster Lynn

Faulds Wood and the Political Editor

of the Sun on Sunday,

Dave Wooding.

Let's have a look at some

of the front pages.

The Observer leads with Labour's

attack on the privatised water

industry, calling the amount

in dividends paid to

shareholders "scandalous".

The Mail on Sunday's front page

says that Brendan Cox,

husband of murdered MP Jo Cox,

was accused of sexual abuse.

His lawyers say he vehemently

denies the allegations.

The Sunday Telegraph

reports on concerns

from some EU countries that

Chief Brexit Negotiator Michel

Barnier's conduct could lead

to the UK walking away

from Brexit talks.

The Sunday Express previews a speech

from the Prime Minster,

saying she will set out plans

to make the UK "a truly global,

free trading nation".

The Sunday Times has more

allegations concerning the conduct

of aid workers, suggesting that more

than 120 people working for leading

charities have been accused

of sexual abuse in the past year.

There we go. That start off with

that story in the Observer,

continuing allegations about Oxfam.

Their front page have line, Oxfam

faces fresh claims over a start

paying for sex. We have seen the

allegations.

Some of the front pages

I find a bit thin. Based on not much

evidence. In this wonder is quite a

lot of evidence. Oxfam's chap...

This was 200,000 people died in the

earthquake. You don't move into a

nice flat and then run things. It's

horrible barren ground. You have to

find people who were prepared to go

into these words owns. -- horrible

bear on the ground. There were 2000

charities piling in there. It's a

bit chaotic. However, they found out

that this guy has got form because

he was previously in Chad, when

there was a civil war. He has been

one of these people prepared to go

to hotspots, and hasn't been much

control over what he has been doing,

it looks like. A sacked for people

in 2011, and they put in new

contracts were they have to sign

that they want to give people money,

won't exploit under 18-year-olds and

so on. But it looks as if they have

handled it really badly. They should

have warned more about what was

going on, they should have told the

Charity commission more about what

was going on. Getting hit for to do

so, and more stuff is going to turn

up. They have safeguarding teams

now, whistle-blowing. But the papers

are finding out all sorts of things

went on that really, this is only

six years ago, should have been

disclosed to us.

How damaging is

this going to be to Oxfam is

potentially other charities, in

terms of, obviously, they depend on

goodwill from the public to raise

funds?

Oxfam is the gold star of

charities. It is a big brand, a

major brand. When you want to help

developing countries, it is one of

the charities you think of first. If

we ask journalists were doing

something about a tragedy of some

kind in these far-flung countries,

which charity do you ring first?

Oxfam.

It is a trusted brands.

They

received £32 million last year from

the government. As well as money

from well-wishers and donors. Small

donations, the donations. This is

massive. We have stories already

about the huge salaries paid to the

bosses of these charities. Now we

are seeing some of these key

workers, in Chad here, having sex

parties in their houses, when

they're supposed to be helping

people. It's going to be really

long-term damage for them. They do

good work, in fairness, we have to

accept that these charities do a lot

of good work, but this just doesn't

help at all.

They do great work.

Oxfam is like the BBC, a trusted

global brands. Several points made

in the article, who do you think

runs Oxfam? They say here that it is

mainly white blokes and that they --

the trustees also are mainly white.

In these countries, they tend to be

white blokes again and that are out

there. The locals will think twice

about reporting a white man in these

countries. There is a lot. I think

Oxfam is a great charity, and I hope

they can get through this and that

people don't withdraw too much

funding. It is the world needs them.

The Sunday Times are focusing on the

same story. The daily Times has been

making the running on this Oxfam

story during the week. They're

saying more than 120 workers from

Britain's leading charities have

been accused of sexual abuse in the

last year alone. Fuelling fears that

paedophiles are targeting overseas

aid organisations.

There are other

household names being dragged into

this now. The figures are quite

gobsmacking. Oxfam, 87 incidents

reported, 53 of them sent to the

police. They do children are

involved now in various allegations.

31 people there, ten of them refer

to the police. Christian Aid, the

British Red Cross as well. All of

these charities have had incidents.

What seems to be the theme is that

they're concerned with damage to

their reputation, damage or

imitation and PR than they are about

coming clean and dealing with these

problems.

I've been very involved in

the charity world of cancer. I think

they're quite often run by naive,

kindly people. Or that is the way

they start out. I don't see evil

coming at them well enough. They

have to get better at looking at

their staff, especially in hotspots,

where they have hundreds of

thousands of millions of vulnerable

people, and making sure that they

somehow have intelligence spread

between themselves. Some of the

people they sacked in 2011 have gone

on to work in other charities in

other hotspots. And probably behaved

in the same way.

OK, let's go onto

another story that is in the

Observer. This is about Labour's

nationalisation plans. The headline,

the water pay-outs are a public

scandal, says Labour. The Shadow

Chancellor promising permanence,

total and cost free

renationalisation of water, energy

and rail. If Labour win the next

election.

Back to the future! Those

of a certain age will remember the

nationalised industries. A new

generation now seeing the railways

as they have been for the last 30 or

40 years, privatised and still might

them. They don't know what

nationalised railways were right.

And then of course the water

industry and the power industries

are all within the site of the

Labour Party now. John McDonnell,

Shadow Chancellor, is highlighting

in the Observer piece of the Private

water authorities have a lot of

criticism about them. They make

profits and they haven't invested

money in dealing with the

underground is...

Is this a vote

winner?

Possibly. I think British

rail is more a vote winner than

anything else. That's consistently

is the only thing, certainly at the

last election, that Labour were

polling high in against the

Conservatives.

I'm waiting.

People

do want to see the roadways improve.

John McDonnell's big problem is

convincing us all how he's going to

paper at this. He said yesterday he

is going to borrow money as exit and

everyone gasped. He said it's just

like borrowing a mortgage to buy a

house, and he rented out and get

money back in from the people you

read too. You make so much profit,

pay off the mortgage and spend some

money on dealing with the repairs

inside, riding a better service. The

problem is, who were you going to

get to do the dealing with it?

Politicians don't normally make a

good job of running things.

Visibly

and man in the audience at question

time a week or two ago, saying, they

are already owned by nationalised

industries. -- there was a brilliant

man. The company 's own utilities,

our water are so one, and rail. They

all already nationalised. In

Germany, France, Spain, the

Netherlands, they have all got

nationalised industries. They own

large chunks of our industries. I

think there is a third way that

needs to be looked at, not the hard

nationalisation, not the free for

all but we seem to have on private

companies owning this and paying

their... Paying more money than they

need to. And also they get tax

benefits, tax credits that outweigh

the tax they pay. There should be a

third way. If it works in these

other European countries, why aren't

we doing more of it here?

That talk

about Brexit. No paper review would

be complete without our Brexit

round-up. The Sunday Telegraph have

a big front-page lead about Michel

Barnier. You have been talking

pretty tough again about the UK. --

he has been talking. Some of the

other 27 countries in the EU are

worried that Michel Barnier is

risking a UK walk-out. Is that

right?

Michel Barnier is being

accused, the chief negotiator, of

being a bit of the bully this week.

He has been saying...

He says the

transition is not a given.

They will

ground the planes from flying across

Europe. I can't see that happening.

They seem to be doing all the

running. They seem to be digging

their heels in, playing hardball. We

seem to be of four bit more meat and

smiled at these negotiations.

We are

also divided.

The Labour Party want

to show that the tree government are

doing a bad job. And you have the

Remainers as well.

And then the

government.

.

Michel Barnier

represent the 27th? Do you think the

location is he's going out on the

bit about them?

I think it could be

a bit of that. They're claiming that

the Nordics and the Eastern

Europeans are not feeling that this

is being well handled. I would

love... I did watchdog for ten

years. I have never been allowed to

put everything on screen that

haven't got evidence backing it up.

I don't see the evidence here.

I do

believe the actual thrust but if the

British government were to walk away

at... One of the points he wants to

do, Michel Barnier, is to say,

during the two-year transition, we

have to abide by new directives that

are issued in that two years. There

is about 40 of them being lined up.

We also have to continue to pay our

money on. Is Britain said OK, we

have got power of veto, not good to

pay you a penny. They were like

that. We have a negotiating strategy

as well as the EU in this. This is

all to be fleshed out over the next

few weeks.

I would like to see a

strategy from the government.

They

have been talking about that in this

Brexit Cabinet committee.

It is

called a war cabinet. We are not at

war! We chose to leave, let's do it

nicely. There were too many men

involved in this story. Let's have

better language.

That let a woman

in. Hang on, Theresa May is doing a!

Let's go onto cheerleaders in the

Observer. A great story about the

Winter Olympics. The North Korean

spare the sister of Kim Jong-un. I

skip to paper. Never mind. We will

stay with the Observer. We have

these cheerleaders in Jung Chang for

the Winter Olympics. -- into Jung

Chang. They are doing synchronised

clapping which is rather wonderful.

Is this an opportunity for some

detente between North and South

Korea?

It certainly looks like it.

They are talking as if they are

united at least over the Winter

Olympics. The cheerleaders have to

move a lot of people out of the

seats of the Google be together. It

looked like they have been

rehearsing for weeks to do this

synchronised charger leading. -- so

they could be together. We know

China is worried that the North will

get too cosy with the South. America

is worried that the Southgate too

cosy with the North. They are caught

between two superpowers. It's nice

to see something positive happening,

when up to now we have been

frightened of these nukes.

That

picture of Kim Jong-un's sister

checking hands with the South Korean

president.

It is 60 or 70 years

since these countries have been

officially at war. I think it's

tremendous. It shows there is a hope

even in what we think is the most

stark scenarios. What I love about

these is that instead of watching

this first game where the two

countries played together in the

Olympics, and sadly lost, everyone

was watching the cheerleaders rather

than the games. They were so

excited. I'm going to watch

Liverpool this afternoon. They're

all dressed in red. I think we

should get them cheering on the red!

'S

in all comes down to football!

The Sunday Telegraph. We talked

before about the Boris Bridge, this

idea that Boris Johnson talked

about, as well as the tunnel we

might have a bridge across the

Channel. There was quite a lot of

scepticism when he first mentioned

back. The Sunday Telegraph

suggesting it. Dreams May come true.

Is very longer bridge anywhere in

the world?

There is one in China

which is huge. There is a big one in

Sweden but I don't know what it's

called.

It's not another Boris

distraction...

It may be a bridge

too far.

They were able to put in

measures to stop the IRA blowing up

the tunnel or minimise the

likelihood. How will you stop people

sailing under a bridge and blowing

it up underneath it? It just seems

to me completely impractical. As not

fall through, which may of course be

Boris's way of making a distraction.

It's like Trump, you just lob

something out there to distract

people from what's really happening.

The thrust of this story, despite

the government rolling arrives, is

that the French boss of Eurotunnel

has not ruled this out. In fact he's

going a bit further in saying they

are positively looking at this and

it might be something... They're

always looking at ways to extend

their...

Of course.

I would have

thought another tunnel.

You can

control a tunnel. The huge flaw with

the bridges that you can't control

it. And who is going to pay for it?

Is the Mexicans again? Or money

tree?

I think you work and using the

issue! -- or confusing the issue.

This is a nice story in the Sunday

Times. I've felt by, and that of a

heart-throb, isn't it? -- he has

been touted as a possible James Bond

in the past. -- Idris Elba. He has

proposed to his 29-year-old

girlfriend. The Post yesterday as a

preview of his new film. Actually in

the cinema. Siovas proposed her.

Everyone piled Andy Dalton. It used

to be one of those areas that no

light was shown on. So thank you

very much, Idris Elba. I used to

watch on the wire and he was

brilliant. He is a wonderful actor

and I wish or the luck in the world.

It is is time achieved. The paper

describes the breast to us short

lived.

I don't big we need to go too

much into that. -- describes the

first two marriages as short lived.

I love the Tutte week. One young

woman puts, I am heartbroken. Please

note texts or calls today. Another

Brits, don't worry, he will be back

on the market within a couple of

years.

For an actor that lives an

extraordinary life, he looks like a

nice bloke.

Speaking of nice people

who are actors, let's talk about sex

and the city. This is the nice --

the front page of the mail on

Sunday. There is a bit of a war

going on between the sex and the

city stars. You are a bit of a fan,

I think?

No, I... Way back when. It

was novel a long time ago. There

were two films and... This is

between Kim could row and Sarah

Jessica Parker. Jim's brother has

very sadly died. He looks to have

been a bit troubled. -- Kim. Sarah

Jessica Parker tweeted or text it is

publicly about her sympathy. King

trowel jests went straight into her,

saying she should not have sent out

that tweets. But out. There seems to

be very bad blood.

Alter a hypocrite

as well.

I can't find my paper.

Stop

exposing our tragedy, you cruel

grids. You assume have a watch that

theory is that they're all great

friends. -- cruel hypocrites.

It is

like the series friends, do you

think they all got on well? You were

a huge fan of sex and the city,

weren't you?

It was one of these

programmes with fashion, cocktail.

It went across various age groups.

Young people and older people. It

was a bit of a cult series. When

something gets so popular, people

buy into the personalities they see

us believe that, not that they are

real, but that's that is what

they're in person. Clearly they are

not. There is some friction.

The

tweaks, and you were normally

allowed 140 characters, this is an

extremely long tweets from him. I

hope she regret sending it because

it is so strong. My mum asked me

today, when will that Sarah Jessica

Parker and leave you alone? It's

horrible.

A sad note to end our

paper review. I do so much for being

with us. Banks again. -- thank you.

Don't forget you can see the front

pages of the papers online

on the BBC News website.

It's all there for you -

seven days a week at bbc dot co uk

forward slash papers -

and if you miss the programme any

evening you can watch it

later on BBC iPlayer.

Thank you, Lisa and Sarah.

Goodbye.

Thank you, Lisa and Sarah.

Goodbye.
