hello. this is bbc news. 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 the government is warning oxfam and other uk charities that funding will be withdrawn if they fail to co—operate with the authorities in cases of sexual exploitation by staff.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. the foreign office says that three britons have been killed in a helicopter crash in the grand canyon in the united states. 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. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing
11:31 pm
us to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are parliamentary journalist, tony grew, and the writer and journalist, caroline frost. most of tomorrow's front pages are in now. we promised everyone lively conversation. well, i did. don't let us conversation. well, i did. don't let us down. 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 signals. 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. and the mirror has an investigation into the amount the nhs spends correcting botched plastic surgery carried out abroad. lots of interesting front pages there, with many focusing
11:32 pm
on the oxfam allegations. a bit ofa a bit of a change from the last hour. still, many of them are focusing on the oxfam allegations. we will start with the times saying oxfa m we will start with the times saying oxfam ignored warnings on haiti staff. it led with the story that there are new revelations staff are worried about some of the behaviour of the men using prostitutes. there are two or three major players in aid working. some of the salaries involved at the top has been a major
11:33 pm
concern for years. six figures sometimes. there are not 100 charities the size of oxfam. it is a small cartel of what you might call mega—charities, the charity industry, as it were. we rely on them to be professional and effective. absolutely. the scandal has a long way to go. it shows this is not about the individual behaviour of a few people. it is about the culture within charities to bite james landale, the diplomatic correspondent, he was talking about the sheer scale of the operations they are trying to mount. the chain of command gets diluted as well. we know this in terms of organisations like the un, you have so organisations like the un, you have so many strata of accountability, as you shoot when so much money is being funnelled into countries all over the world, it can become quite
11:34 pm
ha rd over the world, it can become quite hard to keep tabs. —— you should. it is not a kitchen cabinet, a cottage industry, of raise this money and it will come out here. you have governments involved, international banks, and, i mean, oxfam, well, it is probably the biggest, in this country, i think, is probably the biggest, in this country, ithink, and it is certainly the default one. if in doubt, give your money to oxfam. that is the rule of thumb if you are generous. they are robust, reliable, independent in countries from politics as could be possible, and still help people. went something like this comes along, this is a big house of cards to topple. i agree, this will not be the last. with all the same with the metoo movement. it starts ripples of awareness. things people did not worry about 10 years ago. the times says one of the gentlemen the subject of this
11:35 pm
enquiry, he was sacked for his bad attitude towards women, which raised questions. this became a problem. but then he gave someone else a job. we are holding people to account in a way we did not a few years ago. on so a way we did not a few years ago. on so many issues. and judging them according to a new set of standards. and obviously because it is a new e, and obviously because it is a new age, many people and organisations are going to be found wanting. some said the 0xfam scandal will be the tip of the iceberg. priti patel brought it up and was dismissed. the former developer and secretary says she raised concerns about sexual exportation to do with peacekeepers, but not charity workers. it comes back to culture, as i said. there is something to reflect on. we have heard nothing from the alleged victims. this is western people
11:36 pm
talking to western people about a western scandal. i had some journalists will go to these countries and speak to them. it shows the way these people are viewed and objectified as victims by the western gaze. it is very paternalistic. charities absolute you rely on local workers to engage with local people. they are the people who know what is really needed. there is still a level above that which is driving around in 4x4s and staying in hotels, which we do not hear much about. the question is how do you make sure the rights of these people in developing countries, that you are sure you we re countries, that you are sure you were helping them in the best way possible, and the only way to do thatis possible, and the only way to do that is to engage incredibly closely with communities and representatives. if it comes unstuck like this, a lot of good will are at
11:37 pm
risk. the daily telegraph. take your sick children to the pharmacy, not the gp, save the nhs.” sick children to the pharmacy, not the gp, save the nhs. i wrote about this two decades ago, and we touched on it earlier. i wrote the weddings page for the hinkley times. this is clearly not new news. they are an underused resource, the well educated and well informed and very experienced pharmacists. it is not just basically the tool of the gp to dish out those in screw the ball pots and pills that we look at and
11:38 pm
ta ke pots and pills that we look at and take in. —— inscrutible. because the accident and emergency is so overused, especially in winter months, perhaps parents should consider taking their children as a first port of call to pharmacists instead. that obviously comes with a certain amount of risk because it could mean that parents feel obliged to perhaps downplayed their children's illness. i wonder what euphemisms they will use, the government, winter pressure. the system is crumbling. we say winter pressure every year, don't we? exactly be but accident and emergency, it is not like the governmentjust emergency, it is not like the government just discovered pharmacies are good thing, this is just a desperate ploy to stop people presenting at accident and emergency. the focus should not be on children. any doctor and nurse
11:39 pm
will tell you they prefer to see a child who is not that six but can give reassurance to their parents than the tragedy that can happen in the other direction. —— sick. than the tragedy that can happen in the other direction. -- sick. a further 100,000 pounds pledged by george soros to fight brexit. what is he trying to do with this money? it isa is he trying to do with this money? it is a campaign called best for britain, trying to campaign for a soft brexit or even staying. £100,000, in the context of how much money is thrown around, it is a tiny amount of money. it says here "from
11:40 pm
small donations, £50,000 since wednesday." there are some people in the country putting money forward. theresa may does not have the majority for a hard brexit. there is still room to change it. many tends to turn to the rebels in their own party to say we are listening to you but we have to do something different. the same happened with the iraq war. we will supposedly get more information from ministers in the coming weeks with a series of speeches. i know that tony lives and breathes this stuff. i feel like we have already had a lot of speeches.
11:41 pm
i have to say someone not in the corridors of power, i know that theresa may stood on those steps and get a good talk and then jacob rees—mogg accused the treasury is messing up. i know borisjohnson is talking about building a bridge over the channel. i am none the wiser. i wa nt the channel. i am none the wiser. i want speeches to clarify these issues. the times. key migrant scheme may not be ready before brexit. this is supposedly a system whereby people already here i dealt with different from those arriving during the transition period. —— are dealt. it will be interesting to see what the courts think about that. it is interesting that theresa may has closed many avenues down during the process. she is tried to appease the heart brexiteers in the party rather than the public interest. it is
11:42 pm
worrying, despite warnings from officials, she wants this system to register new arrivals by next year. 0verall register new arrivals by next year. overall the office insisted those arriving during the transition period would not have automatic rights to remain. the home office faces having to resign and implement a new registration system for 13 months from now. —— design. for eu migrants arriving. the government has no idea how many eu citizens are in the country. imagine how poorly this will be dealt with. this is a recipe for chaos. this is coming down the track. this change will happen in 30 months. the government is still having speeches about what brexit might look like. —— 13. is still having speeches about what brexit might look like. -- 13. the transition period could be a bit elastic. not if you are jacob rees—mogg. he is quoted. it is easy to shout from the sidelines. the
11:43 pm
royal wedding timetable. what is it telling us? it is giving us the fall sp on the wedding of the year between prince harry of wales and his fiancee, meghan markle, who you have interviewed. frankly, i his fiancee, meghan markle, who you have interviewed. frankly, lam looking for an outfit based on that 12 minute encounter. yes, i have, what can i tell you? what was she like those blue a big heart, huge compassion. this was pre—harry days, backin compassion. this was pre—harry days, back in her previous incarnation as an american star, suits actress. she is already a un ambassador in her own right. this is a young and determined lady who was already intent on using her platform as a successful american actress, not
11:44 pm
waiting for a prince charming. clearly, they will be more than the sum of the parts in terms of the platform they can create together. that's pages two and three. we can confirm it will not clash with the fa cup final. thank you, both of you. lovely to see you. we are very grateful for you coming you. lovely to see you. we are very gratefulfor you coming in. breaking news to bring you. we were telling your earlier about a problem at london city airport. it will be close for the foreseeable future until further notice. that is, should i say. it follows the discovery of a world war two peace of ordinance in the king george v dock, part of planned development works. there is now a 200 metre exclusion zone implemented by the police. as a result, the airport is closed.
