03/03/2018 The Papers

in Russia after football's lawmakers

voted to approve the technology.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow.

With me are journalist Yasmin

Alibhai-Brown and Penny Smith,

who is a journalist and broadcaster.

We might have trouble!

Many of tomorrow's front

pages are already in.

While the Beast from the East

subsides and the snow melts,

The Observer takes stock

of the financial cost the wintry

weather has taken on the country,

suggesting it's cost us

£1 billion per day.

The Sunday Times leads

on an investigation into how

internet giants may be implicated

in the trafficking

of vulnerable women.

The paper also looks ahead

to tomorrow night's Oscars

with a picture of Gary Oldman,

who has the Best Actor nod

for playing the part

of Winston Churchill

The actor also takes centre stage

on the front of The Telegraph

alongside the paper's top story,

which looks at the way BBC

presenters' salaries are taxed.

The top story for The Mail

is the latest gossip

from within Theresa May's Cabinet.

Boris and dirty tricks... We will

Boris and dirty tricks... We will

talk about that later! And when we

look at Penny Smith... Kami? She has

a very nice Ginette?

Especially for

here.

She looks gorgeous.

We are

shocked. She knows what a woman must

do, she must cook and she must be

able to take part in selling.

Shall

we talk about the papers?

The Sunday Times, pop-up brothels,

the internet giants, Number 10

considering new laws... What is

wrong, Fiona? Do you want that? This

is the top story. Number 10

considering new laws on sex

trafficking. How can internet giants

like Facebook and Google become

implicated?

That is where you do the

search engines and that is where

people find these brothels and that

is the way that they are profiting

so what they are saying is they have

been discovered in Cornwall,

Swindon, holiday cottages in the

Peak District, enraging the Bishop

of Derby and the Sunday Times find

three such clubs operating last week

near Hyde Park in central London so

what happens is Google and Facebook,

they are used to buy these sex

traffickers to kind of pimp these

victims and it is very difficult

because every time we talk about

something like this and it happens

with terrorism also... They come

back to say, free speech.

And that

is always... And that is what it is

really about, the whole thing of the

internet, a space that is totally

free, it has done amazing things.

The Arab Spring. Is lots of

censorship. But increasingly, I

think that it is unsustainable

because it is the terrorism

websites, the child abuse websites,

the deep internet with the most

horrific things are being peddled.

They are profiting directly from

these brothels. They are enabling?

They are not developing a method of

regulation, I suppose.

I cannot

understand... We can send Tesla cars

into space and all sorts of other

incredible things and yet we cannot

develop algorithms to stop... What

search words do you put end to find

these?

Why can you not stop that? It

is more ubiquitous, these assaults

especially on women or people of

colour or anybody they do not like,

when you talk to these people on

Facebook and the internet giants,

they say, it is not my problem.

I

think it is. How do they, with all

the will in the world, harness all

of this? It is so enormous, the

scale of it.

These men are very

clever, if they wanted to, they

would develop some technical way.

And they are, doing something with

the Isis websites and so on. I think

they have... It is just where

newspapers and broadcasters are, you

just cannot have freedom without

responsibility.

They would say they

are not publishers.

One way or

another. They are conduits. My other

peer is that does this go into the

dark web, and becomes evermore,

located?

At start with what is

obvious. I think this thing happened

and the culture did not catch up and

now cultural awareness is catching

up and it is not a bad thing.

Brexit

is never far away.

At that point,

lots of people but on a cup of tea!

A glass of wine!

Not again! Two

stories on Brexit. To do with the

Conservatives again, the Mail on

Sunday... Shall I hold this up

again? The Mail on Sunday, we have

these augmented reality graphics and

yet we are holding up some paper! It

is here. Boris in new dirty tricks

row with Number 10. Gavin Barwell,

accused of leaking a letter that

Boris Johnson wrote, playing down

the impact of a heart border between

the Republic of Ireland and Northern

Ireland.

Yes, tittle tattle, it does

not deserve three pages. You just

have to say Boris and it is like

this lightning rod, everything gets

very exciting. This is about the

difficulties of saying to the world,

to the party and everything, that

speech Theresa May made, it bonded

everybody, including Remainers, and

it was not a bad speech, not bad,

but the deep conflicts within the

country and within our own party

will not be easily fixed.

They will

never be reconciled. We just have to

be grown up about this and say, we

are poles apart, let's come

together. And at the picture of

Boris and it is like the Beast from

the East because he is in Budapest,

holding up that letter. Which is not

the leaked letter at the centre of

the dirty tricks row but it is

allegedly the speech from the

Mansion House, where he is allegedly

giving the thumbs up.

He has also

said, what did he say? This is a

nonsense claim from an anonymous

source. The denials will climb in.

It does make you realise, these are

all available to fights within the

party and the plotters, there is

nothing like conservative potters.

They even got rid of Margaret

Thatcher, the woman who gave him the

world, whether you liked her or

not...

It is not over. The Observer

has another take on this. The Tory

Brexit unity fades as Heseltine

slams Theresa May's speech. Lord

Heseltine has been very outspoken

about the folly of Brexit.

The

former Deputy Prime Minister

dismissing her latest speech as just

more phrases, generalisations and

platitudes which have done nothing

to make a deal more unlikely. He

talks about, we have been talking

about cherry picking and he says the

speech moves us further down the

cherry picking road and sets at the

cherries Britain wants to pick...

We

haven't got the migrant workers to

pick those cherries! As a socialist,

I hate saying this... I have grown

to really admire Heseltine and not

just recently, a very competent man.

In Liverpool they want to build a

statue for him because he did such

good work in Liverpool. All that

regeneration work. He has been right

on this all along and much as I hate

his wealth and his land... You

signed envious! I am very happy in

my flat.

I think he is right on

this. It is just not... The problem

is, if anybody thought this was

going to be sorted out in any shape

or form, it isn't, even when it is

as over as it will be at some

stage... In two years or 22 years...

I spoke to Bernard Jenkin yesterday

about the speech and he was quite

content with that.

There are

others...

Jacob Rees-Mogg said that

he thinks...

Do you believe these

guys? They are very outspoken, if

they don't like what she is doing.

We're coming to the stage... Very

little time left. For the

practicalities. I don't believe, I

really don't, that there is... It

was a good speech. But these guys, I

would not ever want to be leader of

the Tory Party like I would ever be!

You never know! Stranger things have

happened. The Telegraph. Here you

go. I have this extra job to do. The

stars turn on BBC over tax stitcher.

This is confiscated but it has to do

with the fact that a lot of

presenters were encouraged, or they

would say, forced, to set up

personal service companies in the

late 1990s and early 2000s if they

wanted to engage with the BBC. And

it has to do with whether that was

an appropriate way for them to have

run their business affairs.

What I

don't understand, the Telegraph has

gone big on this... What does the

BBC Get Out of it?

Nothing.

It saves

National Insurance contributions.

Is

that it?

That is quite a lot of

money. I think a lot of presenters

and other people have done this for

their own reasons.

They also save,

the BBC... ISA and it was also about

saving because you don't have to...

If you are not staff you don't have

to pay anything else.

It is very

expensive to employ people because

you have to pay National Insurance,

sick pay...

But you have freelance

contracts, many of us have lived

freelance lines. We have never felt

pressured to get into these deals. I

don't understand.

It is very

confusing. There is a feeling or

sense that HMRC was content with

this and they are not content with

it and now the rules mean that HMRC

wants as many people as possible to

pay their tax at source through the

pay as you earn system. I am not

affected by this! Full disclosure!

This is a fiendishly conjugated tax

situation that people find

themselves in and they will have to

try to unpack this and if they were

in the wrong tax vehicle, the wrong

tax status or employment status,

they could end up having to back pay

tax.

It has happened with one

presenter, at least.

Co-presenter of

Look North.

Nearly £500,000 tax

bill. It is not just conjugated,

this is a mighty mess.

Mightily

worrying for those affected.

There

are enemies of the BBC who have been

waiting for these things to happen.

Let's go back to The Times.

Crackdown on nimby councils. But in

my backyard. Normally individuals

than authorities?

This is about how

they are trying to... We need more

houses and we need more affordable

housing, we keep on saying this and

the problem is, there seem to be

various loopholes that developers

seem to be able to exploit so they

can do fewer affordable households

and it used to be in the past that

we had various other places were

people who were essential workers

but did not get paid a huge amount

could rent cheaply or buy houses

astutely and we don't have those

options any more and we are building

these times and in these places

between Oxford and Cambridge, for

example, they are talking about

three huge times being built. And,

of course, for the people who live

around in this little villages, you

are talking about years of

disruption and that sort of thing.

Is that the right place?

If the

councils don't building enough

houses the government will

intervene.

The London Mayor has been

quite strong on this because he has

seen through some of these loopholes

and not only are these big

developers not building enough

affordable housing but they are

basing the affordable on something

that is completely wrong because as

prices go up, they put the

affordable at an impossible place.

Like you said, nurses and doctors

and teachers simply would not be

able to afford them. I think there

needs to be a real mission to

create... Like when the welfare

state was created. Part of a

nation's mission.

Public housing is

the way to go.

Where do you get the

land from? A lot of those sites are

being held by developers, waiting

for the right moment, they might

have paid a lot of money for that

and did not give that away for a

song.

Do you know how much of

Britain is built upon? It is so

tiny, the decorously tiny, less than

5%. We have an extraordinary panic

about being built up and there is a

lot of space.

When they say that,

they take into account loads of

areas where you cannot even really

build houses.

These things are more

possible than we have thought but I

think it has to be a government led

thing, not led by the developers.

You cannot just -- just put houses

in the middle of the field. You have

to have all the infrastructure and

amenities and services, hospitals,

doctors, schools?

Milton Keynes. It

works quite well. That was a

mission, something they did.

We will

finish with Gary Oldman, on the

front of the Sunday Times, nominated

for an Oscar for Best Actor, I

think. And he almost did not take

that part?

Look at the difference.

It is astonishing is the way that he

played Churchill, astonishing.

You

just do not recognise him at all.

No. He does not look anything

like... Just transformed! Who shall

be cast as Churchill? You would not

think Gary Oldman.

He almost did not

take that, he thought so many people

have played Churchill better than I

could hope for and here he is.

Amazing actor.

The range of roles he

has taken on. And he has never won

this.

He did win the Bafta last

month so we have recognised him. I

quite like these old school things,

making it up as you go along, but

had the graphics. It is not like

that every night!

That's it for The Papers this hour.

We'll be back at 11.30pm

for another look.

Hopefully with graphics!

Next on BBC News,

it's Meet The Author.
