did cover up a scandal, involving aid workers and prostitutes. the charity alerted uk authorities to what happened after the earthquake in 2010. that is the lead story today on bbc news. we can take you through the papers and in a moment i will speak to... with me are anne ashworth, associate editor of the times. and bonnie greer, playwright and writer for the new european. a general look at the front pages. the observer leads with labour's attack on the privatised water industry. calling the amount in dividends paid to shareholders "scandalous". the mail on sunday's front page says that brendan cox, husband of murdered mpjo cox, was accused of sexual abuse.

his lawyers say he vehemently denies the allegations. the sunday telegraph reports on concerns from some eu countries that chief brexit negotiator michel barnier‘s conduct could lead to the uk walking away from brexit talks. the sunday express previews a speech from the prime minster, saying she will set out plans to make the uk "a truly global, free—trading nation". the sunday times has more allegations concerning the conduct of aid workers, suggesting that more than 120 people working for leading charities have been accused of sexual abuse in the past year. a mixture of stories. i hope you are both well. very well, yes. you were

warming up on twitter, as well, i noticed! people seem to be staying in tonight at watching. it is the weather outside. we start with the observer. the oxfam story. the times break this but the observer have it on the front page. the crisis engulfing perhaps the most famous charity, oxfam, seems to be spreading out. there were allegations of a cover—up, conduct allegations of a cover—up, conduct all senior oxfam people in haiti. the observer newspaper is telling us that the same thing seems to have happened in chad with some of the same individuals who were let go from oxfam, mentioned as working in chad and leading the oxfam operation in that country at the time. this seems to be... oxfam saying there

was no cover—up but it seems to me the charity commission was not fully informed of the events and the charities who was subsequently employing some of these people were not properly informed of the conduct of these people. whether it is true or not we know the un peacekeepers, some of them have been accused of this in times past. this is a sad old horrible story. the sooner we get to the bottom of this, it has to do with a oppression, it is a form of oppression. we need to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible. what fascinates me, priti patel was the former international development secretary, warned that predatory paedophiles have been allowed to exploit the aid sector. did she just find this out, or did she know when she was in charge of this sector? we

have jumped onto the times newspaper. it is the same story. but it is talking about, almost a crisis in the charity. almost endemic in the charity sector. if we have someone the charity sector. if we have someone in charge, the implication is she is telling us something either she has told others and it did not get through, or she is now saying something about it. this is a catastrophic situation. it has to be dealt with. we should not think it is new because it is not new. what does it do to your thoughts when you think of charities? would you think twice now? a lot of people will feel dismayed and feeding their contributions and taxpayer money is going to organisations that are not run ina going to organisations that are not run in a properly regulated and

responsible way. we expect high standards of them than the ordinary organisation, to be exemplary of high behaviour —— good behaviour of the highest moral standards. the sunday times leader saying there are 120 people accused of sexual abuse in major charities and paedophiles might be infiltrating the sector. that will leave people asking a great many questions. that will leave people asking a great many questionslj that will leave people asking a great many questions. i think it will be an unnerving week ahead. it should be if this is going on. let's go back to the observer. we heard jeremy corbyn talking about nationalisation and his hopes. what do you think about it? just as an idea? i am of the school who believes these things should be nationalised. why? it may sound

strange but i do not think people should own water. i do not get what thatis should own water. i do not get what that is about. i understand owning pipes but the water i do not understand. i think trains need to be under control of the government. the problem for labour is who will pay? how will it happen? you have to get them back. somebody said they willjust not get them back. somebody said they will just not renew get them back. somebody said they willjust not renew the franchises. is that how it works? there would have to be compensation paid to shareholders, which includes a lot of us through pension schemes as shareholders in utilities such as water companies. there is still huge disquiet in the corporate sector and the city about the way companies such as thames water have been run, the dividends paid to former shareholders, such as the australian institution by thames water. thames water is trying to put its house in

order. while we see evidence of perhaps skimping on maintenance of these utilities, people will start to think, maybe nationalisation would not be a bad idea. nationalisation is oversight. if we have a government supposedly in charge of these things we should assume they are watching out for us. you put it in the private sector because you think it will be better. it is not better. how does labour do it? how was it paid for? does it make the regulators more muscular? we have regulators for these businesses. maybe they do not have sufficient power to intervene. ofwat, regulating the water

industry, maybe it needs fresh powers to see the system works. why has it not happened? i wonder if these companies have not been under these companies have not been under the scrutiny they might have been. the bus i regularly uses being held up the bus i regularly uses being held up by the bus i regularly uses being held up bya the bus i regularly uses being held up by a burst water main and ifeel resentful about thames water's behaviour at the moment. maybe we need to be tougher. talking about being tough, let's turn to the telegraph and our favourite subject, brexit. it is interesting. everyone is trying to figure out how to explain why this is not working or why it looks crazy. what the telegraph has done is they will find someone on telegraph has done is they will find someone on the other side acres zero in on because it works. people are like, i don't know what is but give mea like, i don't know what is but give me a name. they have come up with

michel barnier, who is saying do what you said you are going to do. we have a meeting and we have to be able to take something back to 27 countries. he is saying, what is brexit? is the sunday telegraph basically trying to say the shell barnier is out of step with the rest of the eu? that he is being too demanding. everybody quoted in the story is saying he will need to step back, calm down, and demand a little less, otherwise britain canjust walk away. who are they quoting? every official quoted seems to back up every official quoted seems to back up the central theme of the story, that michel barnier is overstepping his authority, trying to bring britain to the brink. nevertheless it is an interesting thing. the brink of what? what the cost would be to the eu if we just walked away.

the cost will be to the uk. the eu did not say get out. we said we want to leave. we want a trade deal and the eu is saying this is how you can have it. somebody in the uk is saying we want this and that. the uk does not have any cards on the table as nobody wants to be honest about that. it is interesting because picking up on what you said, anne. i do not know whether you listen to any do not know whether you listen to a ny a nswe rs do not know whether you listen to any answers after any questions. there was a consensus michel barnier was scaremongering. that was the feeling coming from the british public. we are looking for a bogeyman. and he would be the person. what about japan? japan told

us person. what about japan? japan told us yesterday, we are here to make money and if we are not making money, we are out of here. is japan scaremongering also? we are not leaving this subject because if we turn to the sunday express, still brexit, but the headline is that theresa may sets out a road map to a successful brexit. what is that? how many road maps have we had? what do they say it is? this is another crunch time. we keep coming to a crunch time. we keep coming to a crunch moment where theresa may will sit down and said to them all, we have to concentrate. theyjust had a weekend away at chequers. they had one a week ago. it is only one year away and we are supposed to be leaving the eu. we have to have this

together by october because they are coming together in october and they will vote on our plan, whether they wa nt will vote on our plan, whether they want to go ahead with trade deals. we have to be ready by october. the broader question is whether theresa may will bring together her party. those people who are vehement brexiteers and those who disagree with them. we have been seeing the division between those parts. you know that the pound is collapsing because of this. what i am trying to understand, i thought there was a meeting this week about that. she had a summit this week about bringing the factions together.m this another summit? i think we have a speech coming up. there is a very big speech coming up and it seems to me the conservative party is more divided on this issue that it has ever been. they have always been

divided and maybe now this will surface and we can see it for what it is. the sunday telegraph, we are talking about pensions. savers to be discouraged from raiding their pensions. who has got a pension? the pensions. who has got a pension? the pension freedoms were supposed to give us control over our pension funds. they were one george osborne's largest reforms as chancellor. there are now growing concerns that people are using their pensions up too early. they have the freedom to withdraw them and they are not anticipating how long they will live. this is human nature. george osborne said when he did this, now you can use your pension

the way you like and that is what they are doing. the problem is that if people deplete their pensions, they will fall back on the support of the state, so there needs to be curbs on these freedoms and there was concern when they were announced. my point is of course, this is what was said when the tories announce this. what are you going to do, what is the curve? they did not do that. there are people, whatever the circumstances, will be thrifty. and some people see a lump sum and will fritter it away and there are concerns people are not realising how long they will live and using up all their money. and the cost of living is going up. very quickly, the sunday times. cheating teachers, what is going on? did any of your teachers give you help with examinations? not my teacher. where

is it happening? why is it happening? if it is, it is about performance tables. where is this happening? are they allowing children to see copies of state examinations? how do you do it? it is evidently happening if they have to have a clamp—down. is evidently happening if they have to have a clamp-down. are they getting results and thinking why are so getting results and thinking why are so many people... ? an indication of the questions so when you do your revision you know what to prepare for. if you are a parent and desperate for your child to get through these exams, would you be happy with that? no. we are really ha rd happy with that? no. we are really hard line. i would not. happy with that? no. we are really hard line. iwould not. it happy with that? no. we are really hard line. i would not. it is a bad example to set for your child and i would be crying my eyes out. also, life is not easy.
