0:00:00 > 0:00:02She was best known for playing Alice Tinker in The Vicar of Dibley.
0:00:02 > 0:00:05Britain is set for its coldest February week in five years
0:00:05 > 0:00:08as freezing air, dubbed 'The Beast from The East',
0:00:08 > 0:00:09arrives from Russia.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
0:00:21 > 0:00:28bringing us tomorrow.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31With me are Martin Lipton, the deputy sports editor
0:00:31 > 0:00:35of The Sun, and Benedicte Paviot, president of the Foreign Press
0:00:35 > 0:00:47Association, as well as UK correspondent for France 24.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Before our chat, we'll look at the front pages.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Following the UN's resolution for a ceasefire in Syria,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55the Observer carries the picture of two children in Eastern Ghouta,
0:00:55 > 0:01:00where it's thought hundreds have died in the past week.
0:01:00 > 0:01:07Brexit leads the Sunday Telegraph.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09The piece is from the senior Cabinet member,
0:01:09 > 0:01:13David Lidington, in which he claims that the SNP could split the UK
0:01:13 > 0:01:18economy and ruin trade deals.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Let's stay with Brexit, and the Sunday Express reports
0:01:20 > 0:01:23that the Prime Minister will declare Britain's best days lie ahead
0:01:23 > 0:01:25in a major speech coming up next week.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27The Sunday Times carries claims about high street tycoon
0:01:27 > 0:01:32Philip Green's business plans.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34The Mail on Sunday reports that the Ministry of Defence
0:01:34 > 0:01:37is setting up a helpline for British troops suffering
0:01:37 > 0:01:42from conditions including PTSD.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46And the Independent has a picture of the actress Emma Chambers -
0:01:46 > 0:01:52best known for playing Alice Tinker in the TV series,
0:01:52 > 0:02:00The Vicar of Dibley - who has died at the age of 53.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05A nice mixture of front pages there, we shall start. Shall we start with
0:02:05 > 0:02:10the Observer? In the lead story really for us today was that draft
0:02:10 > 0:02:14resolution that was passed in New York at the UN, what are your
0:02:14 > 0:02:20thoughts on that, realistically? Sadly, one fears that not a lot will
0:02:20 > 0:02:24actually happen. Within minutes of the Security Council resolution,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28which was unanimous and all 50 members of the Security Council
0:02:28 > 0:02:33voted for the 30 day ceasefire, the bombs started falling again in this
0:02:33 > 0:02:37province, this on clay on the outskirts of northern Damascus. The
0:02:37 > 0:02:44regime in Syria cares not at all about the lives of these people, it
0:02:44 > 0:02:48does not, and unless Russia can be brought to the table and forced to
0:02:48 > 0:02:52do something about it, because Russia the strong power in the
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Middle East, then nothing will change and we will have is more
0:02:56 > 0:03:00children killed.What is that say than about the effectiveness of the
0:03:00 > 0:03:05UN, what do you think?Well, there are very many questions, I mean we
0:03:05 > 0:03:12have had many criticisms, some from the US ambassador, Nikki Haley, to
0:03:12 > 0:03:18the UN, some from France's UN representative, saying that if this
0:03:18 > 0:03:23was not passed yesterday or today that it really could be curtains, I
0:03:23 > 0:03:27mean, for the respect of the UN, could spell the end of the UN
0:03:27 > 0:03:34itself. It is quite extraordinary. Let's be very clear, this week of
0:03:34 > 0:03:37intense bombardment, which has proceeded finally after this
0:03:37 > 0:03:43prevarication because of Russia, really, that bombing on Eastern
0:03:43 > 0:03:49Ghouta, possibly 500 people, over 100 of them children, killed just
0:03:49 > 0:03:53this week and that is where delay in, and what is being talked about
0:03:53 > 0:03:58is simply allowing aid deliveries, medical evacuations, children to see
0:03:58 > 0:04:03daylight, Fred to go in. They understand one of the aid charities,
0:04:03 > 0:04:07it is not in the newspapers but I had an interview, they have been
0:04:07 > 0:04:10ready since the 14th of February when they last went in, but of
0:04:10 > 0:04:15course, they need the ceasefire to be able to go in. They needed day to
0:04:15 > 0:04:19go in, at least a day to go out. They do not know what conditions
0:04:19 > 0:04:26they are going to be dealing with. And bombarded by the Syrian
0:04:26 > 0:04:30government forces, backed by the Russians, but it is basically Bashar
0:04:30 > 0:04:36Al-Assad bombing his own people, killing them.OK, let's turn, we are
0:04:36 > 0:04:41going to stay with the Observer and university chiefs having 5-star
0:04:41 > 0:04:46expenses. I mean, the figures here are shocking, I think an annual bill
0:04:46 > 0:04:52of 8 million in expenses by vice chancellors, is that right?There an
0:04:52 > 0:04:58awful lot of numbers here but is a Channel 4 programme but it has been
0:04:58 > 0:05:03linked to the Observer, and these are the questionable claims made by
0:05:03 > 0:05:10the University vice chancellors, including a pawn star Martini.You
0:05:10 > 0:05:16stopped right there that you forgot the fine dining, the 5-star hotels.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21I did not know what a pawn star Martini was.We do now. We looked
0:05:21 > 0:05:28up, we did our research.We understand it is called research.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Apparently, it is passionfruit, vodka with vanilla essence, and you
0:05:31 > 0:05:36have Prosecco on the sideline juices well.Freshly squeezed lime juice as
0:05:36 > 0:05:45well.It is the only way.It is lovely.And £1600 for one new vice
0:05:45 > 0:05:50chancellor for his pet dog to be relocated from Australia. This is
0:05:50 > 0:05:53properly scandalous when lecturers are being told that they should not
0:05:53 > 0:05:55be taking industrial action over potential cuts to their pensions,
0:05:55 > 0:06:01this is absolutely quite a revelation, I have to say.OK, let's
0:06:01 > 0:06:06turn to the Telegraph and possibly another scandal that will get you
0:06:06 > 0:06:11head up today. What do you think about this, the aid charities
0:06:11 > 0:06:16scandal? What has really upset you about this story?I think the thing
0:06:16 > 0:06:20that makes it very difficult to come to terms with is that it is clear
0:06:20 > 0:06:24from the decisions that have come out that a number of charities, not
0:06:24 > 0:06:31only were aware of this sort of behaviour of sexual abuse
0:06:31 > 0:06:35perpetrated by aid workers in various parts of the world, and I
0:06:35 > 0:06:38understand that the view was that the good we do outweighs the bad
0:06:38 > 0:06:44that some of us do, and I can see why that might be argued, it just is
0:06:44 > 0:06:48not a moral argument that is acceptable. But this has only come
0:06:48 > 0:06:54out subsequently and these major charities were aiding and abetting
0:06:54 > 0:06:58this behaviour, they were not doing anything about it, they were passing
0:06:58 > 0:07:03them on to other jobs other similar ilk within the aid industry and if
0:07:03 > 0:07:07someone is taking advantage their position to sexually abuse young
0:07:07 > 0:07:16kids, to take advantage of teenage prostitutes of any gender, what on
0:07:16 > 0:07:26earth are they doing in this, these jobs? Is absolutely horrendous. It
0:07:26 > 0:07:30really, you can understand why there is now a genuine fear among a lot of
0:07:30 > 0:07:34these charities that they are going to lose a lot of their donors.What
0:07:34 > 0:07:37a lot of people are saying that the real money for these charities comes
0:07:37 > 0:07:41from the government, that is their core funding but they do not want to
0:07:41 > 0:07:47lose the support of the public. Would you stop donating?Know, but
0:07:47 > 0:07:55what Penny Mordaunt is demanding my Monday is for almost 200 UK
0:07:55 > 0:07:58charities to disclose any safeguarding issues and there is no
0:07:58 > 0:08:04doubt that some of them are eating humble pie, and this is why more
0:08:04 > 0:08:12sexual misconduct claims are coming out. But to be clear, on Oxfam, the
0:08:12 > 0:08:18only 10% of the money, I understand, £32 million in the last natural
0:08:18 > 0:08:23year, actually went Oxfam. They also get other donations and there is no
0:08:23 > 0:08:28doubt that by Tuesday, they had lost over 7000 individual donors and
0:08:28 > 0:08:31subscriptions. What is the big question mark at the moment for
0:08:31 > 0:08:35those charities and for the rest of us is we do not know what big
0:08:35 > 0:08:39corporations, they are observing for the moment, are not making public
0:08:39 > 0:08:43that they all looking at it, et cetera. So it is about the initial,
0:08:43 > 0:08:47a small number of people who seem to have targeted these organisations,
0:08:47 > 0:08:53let's remember that there is fantastic work that is done by these
0:08:53 > 0:08:57aid charities, whether they are French or British, and by the way,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00the British scandal is making international headlines. But France
0:09:00 > 0:09:03and other countries are looking at this and I think the most
0:09:03 > 0:09:07interesting thing that has come out that apart from safeguarding rules
0:09:07 > 0:09:12and the whistleblowers line in all of that, is very much this idea put
0:09:12 > 0:09:15up by Save the Children and I think one of the worst possible things
0:09:15 > 0:09:20about preying on vunerable people is for one person to do that, not be
0:09:20 > 0:09:25reported on and be able to move onto another charities.OK, well, we will
0:09:25 > 0:09:32see what happens this demand. The Sunday Express has led the Brexit
0:09:32 > 0:09:38and apparently we have some good days ahead.This is wonderful.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Theresa May will tell the country the best day is really do lie ahead
0:09:42 > 0:09:51of us, she will be... Because we have an ambition. OK. And we will
0:09:51 > 0:09:56have an ambitious future in our ambition and we are going to make
0:09:56 > 0:10:00that ambition into reality and we will have an ambitious policy and a
0:10:00 > 0:10:04great relation ship, and the best exit is about our national future,
0:10:04 > 0:10:09part of the way we improve the lives of people all over the country.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Excellent, so Brexit will be the beginning of a bright new chapter in
0:10:12 > 0:10:18a national story.Do you feel better?And our best days, I want to
0:10:18 > 0:10:22point this out again really do lie ahead of us. That is excellent news
0:10:22 > 0:10:26and I am delighted to read it, I think the whole country will rejoice
0:10:26 > 0:10:30in this brilliant speech on the Prime Minister, who once again
0:10:30 > 0:10:36has...And when is the speech? Friday?Friday, in the north-east.
0:10:36 > 0:10:42Yeah, I am so happy.That is what is said that the decisions we make now
0:10:42 > 0:10:49will shape this country for generation.The Sunday Times.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Reigning on the Prime Minister's parade before she makes that beach
0:10:52 > 0:10:57and before the United front becomes very public about this day away at
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Checkers, is that actually the Archbishop of Canterbury is not
0:11:00 > 0:11:08agree at all and is warning that the catalyst of British introspection,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11xenophobia and self-pity. I had to say that on the European continent,
0:11:11 > 0:11:17this has been reported somewhat before. Justin Welby as saying that
0:11:17 > 0:11:23actually this is very, very serious, he is actually also saying that what
0:11:23 > 0:11:27he is witnessing, seeing and hearing about is more hate crime, more
0:11:27 > 0:11:30divisions within this country, and he is basically by worried about
0:11:30 > 0:11:36that.OK. We have three more stories we are going to squeeze in. The Mail
0:11:36 > 0:11:41on Sunday, that makes you happy, does it as yellow well, it is a
0:11:41 > 0:11:46start. We have troops come back from various parts of the world who are
0:11:46 > 0:11:51suffering from their involvement.-- well, it does. This will be the
0:11:51 > 0:11:55first round-the-clock helpline for them to ring for help, basically
0:11:55 > 0:11:59when they need someone to talk to, to listen to them, to give their
0:11:59 > 0:12:05problems. The mental stress, the mental harm that warfare does to
0:12:05 > 0:12:09people is now accepted, I think. People were shot forward in the
0:12:09 > 0:12:12First World War because they could not cope with it and thankfully we
0:12:12 > 0:12:21have moved on, they still happen, these things still happen. It is how
0:12:21 > 0:12:30you deal with people, how you give them a chance to read out and deal
0:12:30 > 0:12:35with -- to readapt to civilian existence.They quickly, we have a
0:12:35 > 0:12:41minute. The rugby, who is following it, who is a fan?We were rubbish.
0:12:41 > 0:12:47And we, as in England?Scotland thoroughly deserved to win, they
0:12:47 > 0:12:52were much better. England's Rugby World Cup hopes destroyed up at
0:12:52 > 0:12:58Murrayfield. The first lost to Scotland since 2008 and rightly so,
0:12:58 > 0:13:02they were excellent.I'm going to point you to the front page of the
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Telegraph, why did this your interest?Well, because I just think
0:13:06 > 0:13:12he has a way off, I think it actually has a French flavour, maybe
0:13:12 > 0:13:16it is my education and my sensitivity, but it is basically two
0:13:16 > 0:13:20University academics walking along and saying if a philosophy...I can
0:13:20 > 0:13:31read that...Lecturer.Thank you, lecturer. And that is, I could just
0:13:31 > 0:13:40see that as a dissertation in the baccalaureate. As the Vice
0:13:40 > 0:13:46chancellors make expenses claims, pawn star martinis and go to 5-star
0:13:46 > 0:13:51hotels, the lecturers are fighting for their pensions. And meanwhile,
0:13:51 > 0:14:00the poor students who have to do exams, I do not know if they get any
0:14:00 > 0:14:05money back.I'm going to say a very good night and thank you to you
0:14:05 > 0:14:10both.It has been a pleasure.This is water, this is water. Don't
0:14:10 > 0:14:14forget, plenty more online. You can see the papers on the website seven
0:14:14 > 0:14:20days a week.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Thinking to both of my guess is but there is more
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Thinking to both of my guess is but there is more coming up right here
0:14:28 > 0:14:30on BBC News.
