sweeping in during the evening to bring a mixture of rain, sleet and snow. disruptive snow is likely as it continues to move eastwards over the higher ground of northern england, the pennines and central and southern scotland. it will be windy, with gales around, a0 to 60 mile an hour gusts, particularly over the hills. tuesday morning could bring disruption from the snow and ice across northern england, central and southern scotland. keep an eye on your weather forecast before you head out. eastern areas will stay damp as the weather front clears away further west and it brightens up again with sunshine and wintry showers. we do it all again on wednesday. the next weather system comes sweeping in from the south—west to bring windy weather with gales and rain, sleet and snow. the sleet and snow will be confined to the hills of the far north of england and scotland again as we see a little less cold air associated with this weather system, but there will be a lot of rain around. slightly milder in the south, but still cold in the north. hello.
10:31 pm
this is bbc news. i don't know what they are laughing at! we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first the headlines. the government is warning oxfam and other uk charities that funding will be withdrawn if they fail to cooperate with the authorities in cases of sexual exploitation by staff. a russian passenger aircraft has crashed shortly after taking off from domodedovo airport in moscow, killing all 71 people on board. theresa may and some of her senior ministers are to give speeches over the coming weeks setting out the future relationship the uk wants with the eu after brexit. the leader of south africa's ruling anc party, cyril ramaphosa, says the future of the country's president, jacob zuma, will be finalised tomorrow. the foreign office says it is providing support to the families of
10:32 pm
six british visitors involved in a helicopter action and in the grand ca nyon helicopter action and in the grand canyon which killed three people. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are parliamentaryjournalist tony grew and the entertainment journalist caroline frost. so pleased to have you here. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the metro leads with former development secretary priti patel‘s response to the oxfam scandal, and her claims that exploitation in the aid sector is rife. the express warns that icy weather is on its way, with forecasters saying blizzards could lead to power cuts and even affect mobile phone signal.
10:33 pm
i would be quite glad if that happened! the guardian reports that £34 million of government funds could be at risk for oxfam following the allegations of sexual misconduct. the telegraph also leads on the former development secretary's comments that warnings about sexual exploitation in the aid sector had previously been dismissed. the times has a story about time pressures at the home office over the need to create separate systems to register existing eu citizens and those who will arrive after march next year. lots of interesting front pages for our paper reviewers to discuss. thank you very much forjoining us this sunday evening. starting with the metro and the oxfa m starting with the metro and the oxfam scandal, tip of the iceberg. this is the former development secretary speaking, we heard from penny mordaunt early in the day but this is priti patel. this story is going to grow and grow. we have been talking about haiti and it has now moved to chad. clearly, if the
10:34 pm
allegations turn out to be true, this is exploitation on a grand scale. we know that haiti is one of the most disaster struck, poverty riddled countries in the world and the idea that oxfam workers, charged with going in there and doing good, are somehow abusing their positions to enjoy them selves in some of the hellenistic fashion, it is a double bad, a good person using a position of authority to commit something he missed —— head on a stick fashion. these people are there to help and they are taking advantage. —— hedonistic fashion. these are entitled men who feel they have an entitlement to put their hands on women, vulnerable women, children in poor countries, and it
10:35 pm
is also about the culture of these charities, multi—million pound charities. there has been disquiet about the way the charity industry conducts itself, particularly in haiti where half £1 billion was donated and very little was done with it apart from staying in expensive hotels and driving round in four by four vehicles. oxfam let three men resign from their positions during an enquiry into sexual exploitation and the only reason they did that was to protect their own reputation and that is another part of the story. i think this will grow, oxfam is not the only major charity taking tens of millions of pounds from the uk, both from taxpayers and the british people. it is the culture of entitlement and also sequencing and back covering within the charity sector. the daily telegraph also has this as its lead, ministers to
10:36 pm
investigate aid abuse cover—up, pursuing those claims. it does not matter where the funding come from, it is what is being done in the name of charity. a couple of interesting things is, last liked the line from the government significantly hardened, they said on saturday they would have a chat but by last night, penny mordaunt was saying you are going to cut off funding unless they come in and tell us everything that has been going on and assure us they have safeguards in place. and to point out, the dev patel —— priti patel as written in the telegraph saying that when she raised the issue in the department it was only a problem with un peacekeepers which is subsequently shown to be incorrect. she was rebuffed having raised this and it shows us about what you might call the international development culture. they can't be aid workers, but is not possible thing they do. the
10:37 pm
attitudes that pervade the charities also seem to pervade the government department responsible for administering the way in which uk aid is distributed and i find it concerning. it is an uncomfortable thing to have to accept. what i find particularly sad about this, i studied for my ethics degree under investor peter singer who is a right activist and has dedicated almost five decades to read disputing wealth amongst the poorest people from the richest —— redistributing. he said that if you're not sure what to do with your hard earned cash, one place to put it where it is safe is oxfam, he has been saying that for years. the idea that somebody who i studied with all of that work and belief, that we can feel safe, we put our hands and our pockets, it is the blue peter appeal, part of oui’ is the blue peter appeal, part of our goodwill conscience for years and the idea that so much of that
10:38 pm
good work will be undone by this is a real shame. moving on and we will stay with the daily telegraph who is doing well out of us tonight. three out of five stories. take your sick children to the pharmacy, not the gp. this is the nhs saying it. that is because 5 million parents of children under the age of five, 18 million gp appointments and 2.1 million gp appointments and 2.1 million a&e visit taken up by patients by condition that could be treated at home. they are clogged up with children who don't have much wrong with them and a pharmacist can sort it out but the problem is, parents are not doctors. they cannot diagnose. whilst promises are extremely highly qualified, and no doubt if they saw something that required medical attention, they would advise them to see a gp, i'm
10:39 pm
still slightly concerned at this advice. parents are being asked to make a judgment about the child's illness. the chief executive of the uk sepsis trust is saying that pa rents uk sepsis trust is saying that parents should trust them, this is a high—risk strategy. normally with small kids, they bring you in early because small children can become very poorly very quickly. and spread many illnesses quickly amongst schools and nursery groups. i can remember writing an article for the practical examiner when i was studying about the undervalued and underused resource that is pharmacy in the country because they train forup to in the country because they train for up to seven years, they note all of those things —— they know. i think they are underused. i am stunned that nearly two decades later they are having the same discussion. clearly the message has not got through. it must be about
10:40 pm
balancing, the instinct of every mother is to fear the worst. perhaps it has gone the other way and they are trying to balance it out but there will be some horror stories.|j agree i have attended the event with community pharmacists and they are and underused resource but perhaps targeting children is not the way to go. looking at the guardian, we can't have a paper review without brexit, what is going on? there it is. penny mordaunt pledge of a further £100,000 to fight brexit. —— soros to pledge a further £100,000. we have heard other donors putting their money into other pots and he hasjoined the fight. it'll
10:41 pm
ta ke and he hasjoined the fight. it'll take some hard cash to bring groups together. we have seen how pressure groups can work when well funded and organised over the likes of momentum, and we will see if this amount of cash input makes any difference. so far, what do we know? it isa difference. so far, what do we know? it is a bit of an editorial free for all so we will see if hard cash makes any difference and make the message any clearer. what is he trying to do? stimulate the debate about what the brexit the uk might have. it sounds like a lot of money to us but i would point out that five men effectively between them bankrolled the leave campaign, putting in almost 50 million in, —— 15 million. it is worth pointing out that this organisation, test for britain, has raised £50,000 combination to saint wednesday so there is some support for it —— best
10:42 pm
for britain. it is not some evil billionaire try to influence public opinion. you think his money has spearheaded the donations? his support for the organisation might well have done that comes back to the point that we don't have a clue out the point that we don't have a clue our brexit look like and the government doesn't. we are finding out with the speeches. which will no doubt contradict each other because there has been no decision in cabinet. theresa may had done an amazing job of taking it down the road from other 18 months, the eu has no idea what we want, it is difficult for them to come to a negotiating position so that everything is to play for in this sense. if theresa may had won her huge parliamentary majority for her ha rd huge parliamentary majority for her hard brexit, we would have a different situation but the reality is there is no parliamentary majority for a hard brexit. she will either as to defy her own party and the like on the votes of labour mps to get a more soft version of
10:43 pm
brexit, possibly involving sums of the customs union which would solve multiple problems but the manufacturing and the irish border. the irish border as well, that is used to get put to one side so frequently. people then remember that it frequently. people then remember thatitis frequently. people then remember that it is a big deal. and we haven't heard about it for awhile because the dup are keeping their powder dry until the next time they are asked to agree with the cabinet 01’ are asked to agree with the cabinet or government about something. as tony said, this is not a huge the money but it an interesting figure, we need these faces to come up, it is what we have been lacking, they have boris, mr gove, jacob rees—mogg, leader in waiting if you read certain editorials. ifeel rees—mogg, leader in waiting if you read certain editorials. i feel it is up to the remainers to find somebody suitably high profile and dynamic and it could be an 87—year—old millionaire. dynamic and it could be an 87-year-old millionaire. there was gina miller with her legal challenge. why are you smiling?|j
10:44 pm
find challenge. why are you smiling?” find the idea isjacob rees—mogg being promised both hilarious and terrifying! a year ago i would have said no but these days who knows? i don't think he would command the support of the majority of the parliament who party. he might have supporters but there are more than 300 tory mps and if there was a leadership challenge at the minute, tory mps would end up bachinger theresa may. but again, let's see where we are. you theresa may. but again, let's see where we are. you are a theresa may. but again, let's see where we are. you are a brave man to make such statement —— backing theresa may. and finally back to the daily telegraph. we need somebody with a technical mind to step in and help us with this story. hackers huack help us with this story. hackers hijack thousands of government websites to mine bitcoin. you're looking at me! it is to do with the internet! that's all i've got. what i know is that it takes a lot of
