0:00:00 > 0:00:03And in this week's Film Review we'll take a look at The Shape of Water,

0:00:03 > 0:00:07in which Sally Hawkins falls in love with an unusual creature.

0:00:20 > 0:00:22We have got a lot to fit in.

0:00:22 > 0:00:26Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

0:00:26 > 0:00:27bringing us tomorrow.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30With me are Nigel Nelson, political editor of the Sunday Mirror

0:00:30 > 0:00:32and political commentator, Jo Phillips.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Many of tomorrow's front pages are already in.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36The Observer investigates Britain's prison system,

0:00:36 > 0:00:38claiming two-thirds of prisons are providing inadequate conditions

0:00:38 > 0:00:39or unacceptable treatment for inmates.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42The Sunday Express says Theresa May has declared there will be "no

0:00:42 > 0:00:43going back" on Brexit.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45The Telegraph leads on claims prominent members

0:00:46 > 0:00:49of the Labour Party met eastern bloc agents during the Cold War.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51The Mail on Sunday has an interview with Brendan Cox,

0:00:51 > 0:00:55the widower of murdered MP Jo Cox, who has stepped down from his role

0:00:55 > 0:00:57in two charities after admitting inappropriate behaviour

0:00:57 > 0:01:01with a colleague.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04The Sunday Times says the Education Secretary is looking

0:01:04 > 0:01:06at a number of university reforms, including cheaper tuition fees

0:01:06 > 0:01:08for some courses.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11And the Sun on Sunday reports on alleged marriage difficulties

0:01:11 > 0:01:13between pop stars Cheryl and Liam Payne.

0:01:13 > 0:01:20So a variety of stories on the front pages.

0:01:20 > 0:01:26We won't be looking at all of them. Let us start with the Mail on

0:01:26 > 0:01:31Sunday. Brendan Cox. We have to take issue, straightaway, with the

0:01:31 > 0:01:39headline. Yes, I was a sex pest, confesses Jo Cox's husband.He does

0:01:39 > 0:01:43not say that anywhere in the interview at all. He certainly

0:01:43 > 0:01:48admits to inappropriate behaviour. He apologises profusely for

0:01:48 > 0:01:53behaviour that may have made colleagues feel uncomfortable. And

0:01:53 > 0:02:00he completely denies an allegation about, I think it was in the Mail on

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Sunday last week, that he sexually assaulted a woman in America. He has

0:02:03 > 0:02:07continued to deny that. And he says that one of the descriptions of an

0:02:07 > 0:02:14incident in 2015 is massively exaggerated. The headline, as is so

0:02:14 > 0:02:22often the case, belies the story inside. There is no doubt it is yet

0:02:22 > 0:02:26another story of somebody who perhaps now, with hindsight,

0:02:26 > 0:02:31realises that their behaviour, and he does say I did not think it was

0:02:31 > 0:02:37predatory, I thought it was playful, was inappropriate and caused deep

0:02:37 > 0:02:41distress.Even though he is saying it is a massive exaggeration,

0:02:41 > 0:02:44clearly some of the women involved there are some to complain about.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48That right. Obviously he feels they did have something to complain

0:02:48 > 0:02:52about, because he has resigned from the two charities that he founded,

0:02:52 > 0:03:00the Jo Cox Foundation and More in Common. And he says he will, for the

0:03:00 > 0:03:03time being, withdraw from public life. We must not conflict this with

0:03:03 > 0:03:07what is going on with Oxfam and other charities. We are in the same

0:03:07 > 0:03:11territory, but it is not the same. It says all the way through that

0:03:11 > 0:03:15while he disputes are some of the allegations made against him, that

0:03:15 > 0:03:19he is sorry that he made people feel uncomfortable.Letters move onto the

0:03:19 > 0:03:25Sunday Telegraph. Check agent claims 15 MPs met spies, not just Jeremy

0:03:25 > 0:03:35Corbyn.John McDonnell and Ken Livingstone. A total of 15 MPs. They

0:03:35 > 0:03:40see that this is ridiculous will stop Ken Livingstone calls it a

0:03:40 > 0:03:47tissue of lies. Labour is describing the allegations as absurd, which is

0:03:47 > 0:03:52what they have been saying all week. The point about this is that we are

0:03:52 > 0:03:57going back to the 1980s. We are going back to a different time.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01Gorbachev was then that changing the whole nature of Russia and Eastern

0:04:01 > 0:04:12Europe...Perestroika and glasnost. Those great was we had at the time.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15MPs were meeting a lot of Eastern Europeans at the time. The only

0:04:15 > 0:04:21thing you could actually say that they were guilty of was not to

0:04:21 > 0:04:25imagine that some of them might have been spies.We don't know what on

0:04:25 > 0:04:28earth they could have passed to these agents.Ken Livingstone was

0:04:28 > 0:04:35not an MP. He was coming to the end of this time of leading the DLC.

0:04:35 > 0:04:41John McDonnell probably was an MP then, or was he at the DLC? Jeremy

0:04:41 > 0:04:46Corbyn was in the same constituency. And the Czechoslovakian diplomat or

0:04:46 > 0:04:50spy talks about three meetings with Jeremy Corbyn. Three meetings over

0:04:50 > 0:04:54the course of a couple of years, three years, in fact, does not sound

0:04:54 > 0:05:01like a lot to me.Presence in the Observer. The dire state of our

0:05:01 > 0:05:06failing jails.If we can find the shock figures. They are quite

0:05:06 > 0:05:16worrying. It is an analysis of 118 different prisons. 68% are providing

0:05:16 > 0:05:24unsatisfactory standards with two inside jails unacceptably unsafe.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28What we have to do is either build more prisons or reduce the prison

0:05:28 > 0:05:34population dramatically. There are 84,000 prisoners behind bars at the

0:05:34 > 0:05:38moment. The jails are just not able to accommodate them. They are no

0:05:38 > 0:05:42longer fit for purpose. That is the next stage, really, to start

0:05:42 > 0:05:46debasing the whole business of criminal justice and how we do

0:05:46 > 0:05:53without.How do you upgrade the present stock?Exactly. You have

0:05:53 > 0:05:57Victorian buildings that are unfit for purpose. Prison officers with

0:05:57 > 0:06:02low morale and a high turnover of staff. You have cuts to funding and

0:06:02 > 0:06:09rehabilitation. We have had this conversation for as long as I can

0:06:09 > 0:06:15remember.That's right. It feels very familiar.When he was just a

0:06:15 > 0:06:19secretary, he seemed to be concentrating on prisons and trying

0:06:19 > 0:06:23to do something about it -- Justice Secretary. How many recommendations

0:06:23 > 0:06:27have been in and nothing changes? There has to be a fundamental change

0:06:27 > 0:06:31in criminality and what to do with people.Stay with the Observer.

0:06:31 > 0:06:42Jeremy Corbyn under pressure to shift Brexit stance.Have I got News

0:06:42 > 0:06:52EU? Who is this coming from? -- have I got News for you.Two women on the

0:06:52 > 0:07:00show for a change.Two funny women. I don't know about me...This is

0:07:00 > 0:07:0520,000 members of the Labour Party. I don't know about shifting his

0:07:05 > 0:07:09Brexit starts, it would be nice to know what it is, let alone shifting

0:07:09 > 0:07:13it. They want to know whether he wants to stay in the single market

0:07:13 > 0:07:17in the customs union or what he wants. Neil Kinnock has now joined

0:07:17 > 0:07:25in and says these members in the Labour Party... Neil Kinnock is

0:07:25 > 0:07:29backing stopping Britain's exes, whether or not that is likely. Lots

0:07:29 > 0:07:34of people are thinking there should be another referendum or there

0:07:34 > 0:07:39should be some way to stop everything hurtling out of control.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42There is no prospect mechanism at the moment for a second referendum.

0:07:42 > 0:07:47There is no mechanism for it at all. There are a lot of campaign groups

0:07:47 > 0:07:51who are trying to get one. Eben Britton being one of them. Best for

0:07:51 > 0:08:06Britain another. -- open Britain. It won't happen unless there is a huge

0:08:06 > 0:08:09change in public attitudes. No sign of that coming from the pulse at the

0:08:09 > 0:08:14moment. If anything the Brexiteers have actually hardened up.It is

0:08:14 > 0:08:21still exactly the same figures. The Sunday Times. No screen sex please,

0:08:21 > 0:08:27we are actors. Equity is suggesting there may have to be guidelines in

0:08:27 > 0:08:34place for performers who might be asked to do saucy scenes.We cannot

0:08:34 > 0:08:49go into it as such...Why? Because we are a bit Coric? -- coy?

0:08:49 > 0:08:52LAUGHTER. Basically it is no serious kissing

0:08:52 > 0:09:03and covering yourself up.LAUGHTER. Which seems to me to make a nude

0:09:03 > 0:09:11scene work.It is a bit of a passion killer.Liberty bodice is at the

0:09:11 > 0:09:18ready.It is serious.I was or is under the impression, I am very

0:09:18 > 0:09:22naive, that on-screen kisses were a bit like on screen punches in the

0:09:22 > 0:09:28face, that it was all sleight of hand and things, I didn't realise

0:09:28 > 0:09:33that we did it.It depends on which film you are doing it.They

0:09:33 > 0:09:38mentioned Roger Moore. It is not known as a porn star.What is this

0:09:38 > 0:09:43story? Carrey gets a job with air miles. Still on the Sunday Times --

0:09:43 > 0:09:49Prince Harry.After last week's interesting discussion about the

0:09:49 > 0:09:55Commonwealth, I am sure am not in thinking the Queen or the head of

0:09:55 > 0:10:00state was automatically...Head of the Commonwealth. I assumed that the

0:10:00 > 0:10:09head of state was ahead of the,. Prince Harry is to come into a youth

0:10:09 > 0:10:16leadership role. There is a common thugs of government conference in

0:10:16 > 0:10:21April -- Commonwealth heads of government. The Commonwealth still

0:10:21 > 0:10:27has 53 members. It is extremely young, as an organisation, in terms

0:10:27 > 0:10:32of its membership and the people within the countries, they have

0:10:32 > 0:10:34predominantly younger demographics. I don't understand the headline

0:10:34 > 0:10:39other than that he will travel around a lot.The key to this is

0:10:39 > 0:10:47that Prince Charles will probably get the role anyway, he is 69, the

0:10:47 > 0:10:51idea is that you need a younger royal to bridge the gap.Back to The

0:10:51 > 0:10:56Telegraph. A little aside. Craig Watts and says we have been

0:10:56 > 0:11:04wonderful, perfect for the news.Is he a producer?I don't think he has

0:11:04 > 0:11:08anything to do with it. Sheep who can grow human organs created in

0:11:08 > 0:11:13lab.This is all a bit scary. It is coming out of Stanford University.

0:11:13 > 0:11:18The idea is that you genetically modified sheep, that you introduced

0:11:18 > 0:11:23human DNA and various different things can grow from that,

0:11:23 > 0:11:28ultimately you can be growing organs for human transplant. Just another

0:11:28 > 0:11:34step along the way of scientific advancement. Let us have the NHS

0:11:34 > 0:11:38will be able to cope when it arrives.How close are we to

0:11:38 > 0:11:46achieving that?Ten years.You said that without moving your lips.Was

0:11:46 > 0:11:49that inappropriate behaviour? Yes, it is meant talking of women, it

0:11:49 > 0:12:00happens all the time. -- men. CROSSTALK Would you like to say

0:12:00 > 0:12:07stomach about the? No, it is a solidified. -- it is

0:12:07 > 0:12:16fine.In the Independent, golden glory for Lizzy Yarnold. A fabulous

0:12:16 > 0:12:22picture of her become the first UK athlete to successfully defend a

0:12:22 > 0:12:31title at the Winter Olympics.I should imagine if the so... Do we go

0:12:31 > 0:12:41into the weather forecast after this?No, we don't. The Film Review.

0:12:41 > 0:12:47If there is a snow there will be DJs playing out of cupboards with

0:12:47 > 0:12:55children wanting to try this in the snow -- tea trays.I might have a go

0:12:55 > 0:13:00at the luge, you can go feet first. How do you begin to start practising

0:13:00 > 0:13:05that?You can't go slowly to see if you like it.You could not even go

0:13:05 > 0:13:11down the stairs on a tea tray. Anyway, good for her. She is an

0:13:11 > 0:13:14absolute hero. That is a super photo.Thank you both.

0:13:14 > 0:13:15That's it for the Papers tonight.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Thank you, Nigel and Jo.
