labour calls for a new and independent system for all parties, to tackle claims of sexual harassment at westminster with two mps — one labour and one conservative — suspended over allegations, seniorfigures say confidence must be restored. the prime minister of lebanon, saad—al—hariri, has resigned saying in a live television broadcast that he fears for his life. mr hariri's father, who was also prime minister, was assassinated in 2005. a report by 13 us federal agencies has concluded that humans are the dominant cause of the global warming. the white house has downplayed the conclusions. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

with me are nigel nelson, political editor at the sunday mirror and sunday people, and political commentator, jo phillips. tomorrow's front pages, starting with: the sunday express says a crackdown on the subsidised drinking culture in parliament is to be launched, in the wake of the westminster sex scandal. the sunday telegraph says theresa may's aides sat on allegations against senior conservatives. the observer reports claims about sir michael fallon, who suddenly resigned from cabinet last week. the paper alleges that a female journalist told number 10 that he had tried to kiss her, in 2003, after a lunch. the mail on sunday leads on allegations involving the tory whip, chris pincher. the paper claims the tamworth mp made an unwanted sexual pass at the former 0lympic rower and conservative activist alex story in 2001.

in a statement mr pincher said, "if mr story has ever felt offended by anything i said then i can only apologise to him." the sunday times details allegations dating back to 2008, that police found pornography on the computer of one of theresa may's closest allies, damian green. mr green categorically denies the claims which he says are unscrupulous and untrue. so let's begin... a lot to wade through and use of the word advisedly. some serious some less so but clearly a big issue. and the sunday telegraph focusing on who knew what and how much information are we not hearing. this is the question that not only we are asking and the newspapers but what is being

asked amongst mps. and the newspapers but what is being asked amongst mp5. the blips, who run the vertical parties, they run it through discipline and through that discipline, they know people's secrets. there has always been a degree of suspicion about the amount of power of the whips hold. a number of power of the whips hold. a number of questions about gavin barwell, at cheap weep —— chief, who is now at chief of staff and questions about gavin williamson who has become defence secretary, against a lot of people ‘s... a lot of people ‘s surprises. it is about who knew what when and who did you go to complain

because if the people you complain to use that knowledge is this not a sensible system. what do you make of these? very similar to joe. they have to address the way whips parade. there are allegations that whips are hiding this and that there may be other reasons for this. a woman may complain and say i do not wa nt woman may complain and say i do not want to take this any further. a lot of the time the mps do not know the complaint is being made to the whips. the whole system needs to be cleaned up and one of the places they will look at is exactly what secrets the whips keep on how they use secrets the whips keep on how they use them. the mail on sunday has a new story with claims chris pincher,

dating back some time. dating back to the time before he was an mp were he will be deeply had been described of making approaches like harvey weinstein. they had been at some tory party event with mr pincher who was not an mp at the time. they went out the drinks and dinner and went back to his house and made unwonted advances. mr pincher says, back to his house and made unwonted advances. mr pinchersays, if back to his house and made unwonted advances. mr pincher says, if mr storey has felt offended, then i can only apologise. the fact that a lot of these allegations are historic but what mr storey has said anne goes back to the first point we were making, is that mr pincher is now a

government whip. that may lead to someone government whip. that may lead to someone else faced with a similar predicament. that is at the nub of a lot of this. you may be afraid to say anything because it may damage your career or you fear that nothing will be done. much will difficult, if you want to be an mp and it is a very long process to go and do it and on the basis of that, you will be worried about getting a black mark against you. that has stopped an awful lot of people from doing that. while you are with us, the sunday at post taxes to scotland. the tentacles of this story are going to spread. i think that is right. if you think about it started, harvey weinstein and moves out to a lot of other institutions.

this is the childcare minister, mark mcdonald, in scotland, his quote on the basis that he feels his behaviour has not come up to standard in the past. it shows that it is moving elsewhere and in the european parliament, you have 30 odd allegations that now of inappropriate behaviour. they are trying to sort out a whole new safeguarding system over there, similarto safeguarding system over there, similar to hear. safeguarding system over there, similarto hear. i safeguarding system over there, similar to hear. i think every institution is going to be hit here. mark mcdonnell has put out a statement saying some of my previous actions have been considered to be inappropriate where i believe myself to be merely humourous or friendly. my to be merely humourous or friendly. my behaviour may have made others uncomfortable and it is my responsibility and i apologise unreservedly to anyone i have upset oi’ unreservedly to anyone i have upset or may have found my behaviour inappropriate. it is a sideline but

it will show people having resignations with not so much clarity. someone has clearly felt aggrieved and upset and we are going to sit movement records of that. yes, we are going to sit movement and also people resigning and people saying, there is no smoke without fire. this might have been a minor incident but there are obviously more skeletons in the cabinet. but we need some perspective. as with all human relationships, and in a working environment, a lot of it is about nuance and some of that is about nuance and some of that is about what older people might accept as gentlemanly, behaviour and other people might find repugnant. the feel so intimidated, apparently,

from a crass remark that she left five years before she mentioned that beggars belief. where is the example, she is the leader of the house and is going to be part of this revamp so i want to say, why did you not say something? i get into that level in politics we have to have sharp elbows and a sharp tongue, and be able to call a spade is vague, wouldn't you have said, michael, that is totally inappropriate. the same question as to why powerful women in hollywood have not spoken up earlier. that ta kes have not spoken up earlier. that takes us on to the sunday express. i will get both of your views. a possible way to change the way things are done and businesses run in the comments. cheap bars, there are several bars of their. it is

nothing like it used to be when i worked in the comments were you could pretty much drink around the clock... and we did! yes, we did. sitting outside with charlie kennedy at three o'clock in the morning when the votes were still going on. it can change the culture to a certain extent that you have people away from home, you have drinks — less so than in the past — but it does make people behave in a different way and in an inappropriate way. one of the bars, where everybody can go, does seem bars, where everybody can go, does seem quite often to be at the centre of these allegations. one of the bars your friend andrea leadsom is talking about in the sunday express,

closing bars like that and change the amount of alcohol consumed. it is already an awful lot less than it used to be. and meals have water rather than a bottle of wine with them these days. damon green, theresa may is deputy and new allegations. one of the most important point to make about this is that it has got nothing to do with sexual harassment whatsoever. what the sunday times as saying is backin what the sunday times as saying is back in 2000 date, when damian green's offices were raided by police that some pornographic images we re police that some pornographic images were found on computers there. there is no suggestion they were anything to do with him. he has made the point that the material was actually perfectly lawful. 0ne point that the material was actually perfectly lawful. one of the investigating officers said some of it might have been extreme. that is

the extent of the story. there were rumours today about the story appearing and damien would have to resign by tomorrow but he will not have to resign over a story like this and it is at a time with every thing else going on... he says the claim is untrue and he has been very firm in his denial. but once somebody is in people's sites... the 0bserver especially michael fallon and it brings us back to news from last week the stop but it is the trip, drip. the journal is confirms it was her and that it was michael fallon that make a lunch at her at large. he was 29 years old at the time. she said she felt humiliated and ashamed, did i led him on? back

to the drinking culture in many yea rs to the drinking culture in many years ago again. michael, according toa years ago again. michael, according to a friend of his, realises that this kind of instant is unacceptable and which is why he had to resign but it comes back to this... the impression was that it was a i—off incidents. and it is like oh, it is michael beer michael. everybody had had too much to drink but what she's saying at this is where you get into this tangled web of the news, what could she have done? it is that sort of empowerment. people will go, hang on, chaps, this is not on. plenty more to talk about on this subject but tell us about this slightly more quirky story... things are not what they used to be.
