bringing us tomorrow. with me arejohn crowley of newsweek, and the journalist benedicte paviot of france 24. the mail on sunday's headline is that every patient visiting a family doctor, or attending a hospital appointment in england will be asked to declare their sexual orientation. the sunday times leads on the same story saying some have warned of a backlash against intrusion into the private lives of patients. the paper also reports on an alleged rape allegation by the british actress lysette anthony — claiming she was sexually attacked by hollywood producer harvey weinstein in the 1980's. the sunday telegraph says theresa may is coming under pressure by the dup — over the chancellor's position on brexit —

11:34 pm
the full story. the content in here, the description, is absolutely horrendous. it's very graphic and we won't go into it now but if people wa nt won't go into it now but if people want to see what it is like, lysette anthony says it's an ugly secret thatis anthony says it's an ugly secret that is being hidden inside her like a tumour. she is piecing together thisjigsaw, smashed shards of glass. and she is talking about why she has come forward. she says, she can't stand by and see all these brave and tell the truth and not stand up alongside them. this is very brave for her. the met police have confirmed they are investigating a claim of sexual assault by harvey weinstein in london. he has denied that he ever
11:35 pm
engaged in nonconsensual sex. we are dealing with a man who is described very clearly by this actress who, by the way, was stalked, raped by him in herown the way, was stalked, raped by him in her own flat. he shoved up against a wall. i won't continue. but basically he is very large and big. she gave in. and it continued for a period of 15— 20 years. quite incredible. when she turned down his calls to meet up, then the assistant would call her and if they still couldn't reach, then the assistant would call her agent and a meeting would call her agent and a meeting would be setup. she feels completely betrayed because she thought initially, she met him for work in new york, she thought that he was a friend. what will deserve —— disturb quite a lot of people is that after the initial incident that she says happened in london where
11:36 pm
she says happened in london where she was raped by him, she says, she we nt she was raped by him, she says, she went on to have sexual relations for years but she was stalked all the time but because of her career, she felt she had to give in. the crucial line she says on those things, by then, i had given up. i knewi line she says on those things, by then, i had given up. i knew i was powerless and least i wouldn't have to do much. i wasjust a body, young flesh. it wouldn't take long and no one moved. how could i refuse. he had the power to end my career and i had the power to end my career and i had to work to survive. we keep seeing this pattern. you start reading these allegations, and they are allegations. we are hearing about the predatory behaviour, after the initial refusal. is stalked her in her flat. these the initial refusal. is stalked her in herflat. these are the initial refusal. is stalked her in her flat. these are still allegations. which he denies. he turned up at her flat. allegations. which he denies. he turned up at herflat. herfriend
11:37 pm
shooed him off the first time had he turned up again when she alleges the first rape occurred. we will stay with the sunday times. doctors to quit —— to quiz all patients on their sex lives. it's none of their business, is it? you could say so and a lot of people feel similarly. nhs doctors and nurses in england will be required to ask every single patient from the age of 16 to declare their sexual orientation. nhs england says it needs to record the sexual orientation of adults to fulfil its legal duties to provide equally for gay people. so potentially, that is interfering in the lives of 45 million people. and it initially you don't answer the question, you willjust, at every single appointment, not just question, you willjust, at every single appointment, notjust by your gp, nhs appointment, you will be asked again and again and what's interesting is in the daily mail,
11:38 pm
doctors ordered to ask, are you gay? there is a real confusion and lack of car —— lack of clarity as to who will be collecting this information which is leading to fears that patients could be quizzed notjust by gps and nurses but even receptionists. basically, this is sexual orientation monitoring which will happen at every face—to—face contact but there is no record of how this will be collected and where it will be kept. are they saying it will start on the age of 16. 16, raging hormones, do you really know where your sexuality is? that's a terrible burden. this from claire fox, who is a panellist on radio 4, sums that up, saving the state has got no business in our bedrooms, tell a 16—year—old to define their sexuality and it immediately forces them into the box. the whole point
11:39 pm
of the sexual revolution was to remove this box and at the other end of the scale, 16 —year—olds, doctor peter swim you do is the chairman of the family doctors association who says it is not relevant to ask and 87—year—old grandmother if she has ever had a relationship with another woman. she would find that insulting and storm out. it would ruin the consultation and you are trying to get to the bottom of someone's illness and if you are asking that question, that presents huge issues and problems. it will be interesting to see who does answer come april next year. part of the nhs will be asking that by next year and then everybody in the nhs will be forced to us this apparently two years later. what might let's move on to the sunday telegraph. philip hammond has made the front page. that tory
11:40 pm
psychodrama continues. this is the democratic union party who are the conservatives coalition partners. ta reeza lay might conservatives coalition partners. tareeza lay might possibly welcome this. they are ordering her to rein in —— theresa may might possibly welcome this. they are ordering her to rein in philip hammond. till then? hasn't had a great week because he called the eu the enemy. that was unfortunate. not helpful. we were saying the show before, like last week, it was supposed to be borisjohnson, the arch brexit supporter and now it is the arch remain. he is under pressure as well. a huge amount of political energy is being expended on this psychodrama and whether you voted to
11:41 pm
stay or leave, let's just get on with the job of running the country about issues that people care about. housing and education and health. while the eu watches all the squabbling. clearly. when the chancellor talks about the government being united, that is clearly not the case. of course it's being watched very attentively over the channel and in the rest of the 27 eu countries and all of this days before the summit were announcements will be made and it looks like there will be made and it looks like there will be made and it looks like there will be concessions, some flexibility but it looks like it will not be next week that we find out that the uk gets the green light to move to this trade deal and future relationship with the eu. we are all talking about ophelia. it looks like brass in london, it will bea looks like brass in london, it will be a breezy day but at the moment, it is category 3, a hurricane. are

11:43 pm
hope that unlike 30 years ago, there aren't 150 hope that unlike 30 years ago, there aren't150 miles per hour winds which it and there are alerting caundle and wales and northern ireland and scotland, the west coast and northern england or monday and tuesday and let's remember, people we re tuesday and let's remember, people were killed, 18 people were killed, 15 million trees destroyed. hopefully batten down the hatches, get your provisions in and don't go out if you don't need to. you have been warned. the telegraph now. and it's the round pound swap or flop. that was a tongue twister if you still have four of them, this has not worked out. the switchover has clearly failed, points out the telegraph. lots of wallets and purses up and down the country. don't be too and —— too alarmed. you can use don't be too and —— too alarmed. you can use them till christmas.|j
