11:32 pm
to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are city am's rachel cunliffe and henry mance from the financial times. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the observer reports claims from a staff member for the brexit vote leave campaign who says it may have broken an electoral spending law. the express says the government will recruit more midwives. the sunday mirror leads with news that filming for a tv series about the murder of teenager milly dowler has provoked anger from local people. the sunday telegraph says facebook was warned about the potential for users data to be accessed by others seven years ago. the mail on sunday reports that a number ten aide outed a former partner in a row over the eu referendum. and the sunday times leads with a suggestion that the government is planning
11:33 pm
to increase funding for the nhs. well, that's a pretty varied set of sunday front pages. let's see what our paper reviewers make of them. let's start with you, rachel, and the observer. this is a convoluted story and the headline claims that the official oakleaf story and the headline claims that the official oa kleaf campaign story and the headline claims that the official oakleaf campaign spent more money than it was allowed to under a little spending laws and it did so by donating an additional £625,000 to another —— organisation vote leave. it was called be leave and run by a 23—year—old fashion designer. it is fine as long as the organisation was independent but the claims from the whistleblower are it was actually run by the same people as running vote leave and in particular this money was directed to data analytics and this is where
11:34 pm
it kind of gets linked in a sort of murky way to the cambridge analytic of story because what they were doing with this money was using facebook and google data to build profiles of people and target entering the eu referendum so it is quite a clever way of linking a rather convoluted story about electoral finance laws with the cambridge story would have been seeing over the last week. henry, the underlying allegation i guess is somehow, there was some kind of intention behind this to fix a result? yes, the vote leave, boris johnson michael gove group had raised more money than it could legally spencer white had to find outlets and the fundamentals are logical, if you had extra money, would you trust it to a 22 new role to spend? three quarters of £1 million. or would you have insisted oi'i million. or would you have insisted on how they spent it. if they did control it is against the law. it is
11:35 pm
clear someone is lying here. there is also a question in the piece, as if it wasn't enough layers of complexity, there is a suggestion that the information commissioner is asking questions about where the brexit campaign got their social media data from which links back into your point rachel about cambridge. were they getting from facebook user profiles which we saw with the cambridge story? people took an online quiz and didn't realise that was not only giving bed after two third party but also all of their friends and that was unknowingly being used to build political profiles, was a similar thing being used here. there is similar talk here and outrage about, justifiably so, and people have said the outrageous because people are not happy with trump's election not happy with the result of the referendum. sour grapes? maybe there is some of that and perhaps we could
11:36 pm
have been treating it differently if vote remain had one at fundamentally is our data being used for political campaign targeting? and are we ok with that? the answer is no. let's move on to the same story is handled by the mail on sunday, were saying before we get into it that a lot of this is denied by the principles, we have had boris johnson this is denied by the principles, we have had borisjohnson coming out this evening saying this story is nonsense, but anyway let's get into what the mail on sunday makes of it. the two sides are saying things which are incompatible. this is one of the denial is put out by a former vote leave campaigner who is now an adviser to theresa may who said the whistleblower in the observer, you cannot trust him and he had misunderstood what was happening and i was misunderstood what was happening and iwas ina misunderstood what was happening and i was in a romantic relationship with him at the time. exactly. theresa may's now adviser. this has
11:37 pm
led to a fury because the whistleblower has had some of my family in pakistan didn't know i was 95v family in pakistan didn't know i was gay and now fear for their safety is that we now have a layer of a row on top of the row. effectively, my head is spinning, but what you are saying is spinning, but what you are saying is the mail on sunday story is that the attempt by the pm's aide to make the attempt by the pm's aide to make the story better or go away has only made it worse? yes, they are saying he is under pressure to resign. made it worse? yes, they are saying he is under pressure to resignlj like the way that the mail on sunday laid it out because they have the two sides of it and what you say saying different things, theresa may's aide was saying how could i keep it private ones he decided to make a false claim? basically saying once the whistleblower came forward his only way to defend himself was to say that he had been in a relationship with him and complain about that? the whistleblower says it is that he cannot tell the truth about getting in the referendum and it is nicely displayed, both sides, but it is messy. implying that
11:38 pm
anyway, that's enough. it's enough! it's messy! let's move on! let us move on to... in a way, more politics. and more related story on the front page of the telegraph because it is the facebook being warned of data seven years ago, henry? this is interesting. this is in relation to 2011, the relevant eu regulator, the irish data authority, said to facebook we don't like the way that you are protecting user data. facebook at the time was relying on the people who may be apps to realise —— to abide by the rules. the regulator said that isn't actually enough, it isn't sufficient, and this is exactly the problem that blew up or alleged to have,in problem that blew up or alleged to have, in the cambridge analytica data breach, the developers of an an
11:39 pm
app data breach, the developers of an an app didn't delete the data when they we re app didn't delete the data when they were told to and it was only seven years later that facebook amended their system that allegation is facebook in the time was prioritising making as much money as it could rather than protecting data. rachel, we have already seen facebook lose massive share value. is this going to damage them further, this front page?” is this going to damage them further, this front page? i think so because facebook relies on its users, yes, also advertises, but its users. 2011 was around the time that people started to say, or at least widely say on the internet if you are not paying for it you are the product and we started to realise that facebook is a free service at the huge amounts of data that we generate as users is what it sells to advertisers. facebook‘s motto and till recently was move fast and break things and they had this idea, a lot of tech companies did, whether they were the good guys and could do no wrong and state provided a fun
11:40 pm
and convenient service and users thought maybe they were breaking a few data collections but who cares. but the users do not love it anymore and earlier this week mark zuckerberg apologised, which is a huge step forward, and said we are sorry and we will do better. it shows facebook understand how serious this is. let's look at another story, let's look at the front page of the sunday times. rachel, have a go at this. the picture of paul mccartney and his partner at the march that we have been talking about it is very much as our top news story this evening, to stop gun violence. hundreds of thousands of people are marching against gun violence in america but also other parts of the world, over 800 separate protest and i think we have seen, i cannot remember where but more people are marching and protesting gun violence and turned up protesting gun violence and turned up to donald trump's inauguration so thatis up to donald trump's inauguration so that is something to celebrate. but this is a testament to the
11:41 pm
incredible and inspiring work of the park and students from the valentine's day massacre —— parkland. they are having an impact. the white house put out a statement today with some initiatives that it is pushing for which include banning modifications that allow guns to act like assault rifles but also improving school safety which i think include arming teachers which is an interesting way of addressing a problem but they are not going away, the students. it is clear where you stand editorially on this issue but quite apart from whether one thinks it is a good or bad thing that the numbers, but they are claiming, the organisers, are greater than for donald trump's inauguration, it is very striking march, and it's quite striking that they got paul mccartney there. paul mccartney in new york, one of
11:42 pm
150,000 estimated protesters in new york who lingered to the death of john lennon. one of my best friends was killed from gun violence not too far from here was killed from gun violence not too farfrom here in was killed from gun violence not too far from here in 1980. which was a dignified way of doing it without mentioning john lennon. just saying my friend, all of these kids getting up my friend, all of these kids getting up and talking about their friends, he has lost his french too. and they are signing up people to vote also at the marchers, to get votes out there in the olesen —— autumn. they thought that people were inuit to these tragedies but that may not be. the sunday telegraph, i like this picture, the cambridge women's team. henry. it doesn't seem that losing in rolling is very fun but winning seems to be brilliant. cambridge won all four races this weekend. so huge, huge day for them. very disappointing for oxford. and then one last story before we go. this is a sad story for ant and deck. this
11:43 pm
is gossip rather than use but the suggestion is they will be axed from i'm a celebrity...get me out of here and they will be bringing in some new blood to increase ratings. i wa nt to new blood to increase ratings. i want to know, forget who the presenters are, i want to know who the contestants are going to be, will be get borisjohnson on? his father did it. i would watch that. asa father did it. i would watch that. as a presenter or contested? co ntesta nt! as a presenter or contested? contestant! it is some months until this comes to pass... this is a huge show, 10 million viewers, and it is like what happened with top gear, it isa like what happened with top gear, it is a show at its peak and it is reliant on a couple of individuals who may turn out to be irreplaceable. i would say the producers of the show would be very, very reluctant to let, i mean, class acts go. henry and rachel, we will have to leave. think of are coming in late on a saturday night to us. —— thank you for coming in. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget, you can see the front pages of the papers online
