10:31 pm
the papers will bring us tomorrow. charlie wells deputy economy editor at the economist, and any of the front page is already in. the guardian leads with a warning from the equality watchdog that firms that fail to report their gender pay gap could face court. the ft headlines the demonstrations in barcelona following the arrest of the former catalan president carles puigdemont in germany. berger leads on calls for police to investigate funding for the boat leave campaign, following the whistle—blower revelations. the express claims that more than 30 conservative mps have signed a letter urging the prime
10:32 pm
minister to consider a radical overhaul of nhs funding. the metro also splashes on anti—semitism in the labour party, jeremy corbyn issuing an apology to the pain it has caused. the mirror's front—page story is of a man who was paralysed in the manchester bombing who has really gained movement in his legs after radical surgery in australia. lots for us to discuss and we better rattle through. let's start with the ft. rattle through. let's start with the ft, gove and johnson in line of fire, after claim vote leave broke the spending rules. how were these rules broken, supposedly? well, there was no leave and there was another organisation called be leave, and they only had a certain amount of money, 7 million, an extraordinary amount of money, to be spent on all this before the referendum. there has been, the
10:33 pm
treasurer of be leave announced in the observer today that they were given extra money to spend to actually campaign before the referendum. michael gove and boris johnson have both denied they knew anything about this. this is something that there is also a thought there is another organisation like cambridge analytica, another one that may have been involved. the lawyers, this is aggregate iq, and the company says it never entered into any contract with cambridge analytica. it is an immensely confiscated story about how data was always not used. immensely confiscated story about how data was always not usedm immensely confiscated story about how data was always not used. it is complicated, and to see the story shift from the weekend story into the work with stock —— the work week story, which is the denials coming in by this group and from boris johnson and from michael gove
10:34 pm
surveyed were not know what happened if anything happened. boris johnson saying the allegations are ludicrous. mr gove saying the referendum must be respected. let's move referendum must be respected. let's m ove o nto referendum must be respected. let's move onto another story in the ft. what has been happening in catalonia, arrest triggers barcelona rally for top ca rles catalonia, arrest triggers barcelona rally for top carles puigdemont went to belgium and now he has gone to germany in the hope that again he can avoid extradition for sedition and rebellion back to spain. the man pushing for catalonia's independence has been living in self and forced exile and now he is in germany. there is the fear that carles puigdemont could face 30 years imprisoned. spain needs to tread very carefully at this moment because of course there have been demonstrations in barcelona and the federal government needs to make sure it does not do anything too drastic that could inflame tactics
10:35 pm
—— tensions forever. drastic that could inflame tactics -- tensions forever. it is a whole pan—european thing. we have people who want independence and their own thing and if they are too heavy on this, the eu, it will not look good. and there was criticism of how the spanish government reacted last time. quite violent in the streets. may faces nhs funding revolt, urging action to make sure there is more money available for social care and health care. social care is in a terrible mess as we know continue from getting somebody out of a hospital bed and into social care has fallen apart in many parts of the country, and then of course they are very worried about midwives, and they are very worried about the fact that babies are dying in what is a western country because there are not enough midwives to help. my dad know about you but i got through the birth of both of my two children through amazing midwives. absolutely. the other thing is there
10:36 pm
is this problem with coming tourists in and availing themselves of the national health. all i can say is a friend of mine had a heart problem in france and as he went into the hospital, they took his credit card. other countries don't have this problem. there is provision for us to do that in this country but how often it happens i don't know. charlie, coming from america, you look at the nhs through very different eyes. in the united states of course we do not have a national health service. we do have to pay for care and it is a very different calculation. but i think another interesting dynamics of the story is this call for more tax, and calls from brexit supporters, because of course that was a huge campaign pledge for brexiteers and they need to deliver on their promise for the nhs. let's look at the telegraph, jewish leaders said corbyn is hostile. this is the labour leader having been accused of siding with anti—semites again and again. this isa
10:37 pm
anti—semites again and again. this is a story that keeps coming back up for discussion. wood i am really surprised by this and when i read a headline for this with jeremy corbyn, i think too little, too late. it sounds like there will be a protest. the first time since world war ii that a major party has faced protests like this, and jeremy corbyn needs to do something more concrete than simply saying i am sorry. because jeremy corbyn is often the person in the eye of the storm, it was him who gave succour to the man whose new role, which was very anti—semitic, and was taken down, and is a very wise friend of mine said, he never needs a terrorist he doesn't like, hamas, villa are all his friends. —— he would deny he has been involved directly but has accepted that there are pockets of anti—semitism in the labour party, and he has today come
10:38 pm
out more strongly than other commentators have thought he said in the past, when he said labour is an anti—racist party and i utterly condemn anti—semitism and we will not tolerate any form of it in and around our movement. it is right that he says it but there was a whitewash job that he says it but there was a whitewashjob done on that he says it but there was a whitewash job done on the whole anti—semitic thing last year. and i think there is no doubt about it, dues feel he is anti—semitic. —— jewish people feel that he is anti—semitic. chuka umunna said we would not accept this about black people, we should not accept it aboutjewish people, we should not accept it about jewish people and people, we should not accept it aboutjewish people and he is right. we stay with the telegraph, eu threats of break—up over google. why are they so concerned about the power that google wields these days? they are concerned, of course there isa they are concerned, of course there is a tax part of this. they are trying to get 2.1 billion from google, who don't pay any tax in europe and we now have a way of
10:39 pm
dealing with this. but of course as we are now discovering, google, all of these tech companies where you actually put your stuff in, like facebook, they know so much about us. facebook, they know so much about us. and it was something i think most of us were vaguely aware of, but are now very aware of. and the eu is saying something must be done. i don't know what you can do with an american company, where people are voluntarily going on there website and using it to keep in touch with relatives, to skype, to do also somethings. but the eu doesn't like the idea they have so much power.m is up to us, as consumers, isn't it, to bea is up to us, as consumers, isn't it, to be a bit wiser? it seems to be a very generational thing. bee it should be up to us. the economist has been doing something about this for the last couple of months, this coming tech backlash. maybe consumers need a bit more power, but
10:40 pm
maybe it is a little bit too difficult to make these decisions, so difficult to make these decisions, so maybe if you use google to search for things and also use google to communicate with your family and also to buy things, maybe it is hard to run away from that, maybe it is ha rd to run away from that, maybe it is hard to make a smart consumer decision because google is everywhere. it is everywhere and it is very important. it has become a verb, we although what we mean when we say it. isn't this an opportunity to have your data removed? once they have collected it, that's it. that is quite difficult. we were both talking about actually coming off facebook, and certainly worried about coming off some of the other things one is on. i don't think you can never remove it, you can ask to see it all, but i think once it is there, it is there forever. and what it means in a way sadly is now one is going to write anything very deep or very meaningful on these websites again, so they lose their point. or
10:41 pm
people leave them altogether. let's look at the metro, i know you will both be thrilled with the opportunity to talk about cricket. just not cricket, this is ball tampering by the australians, on a sticky wicket, as they say, as questions raised over the ashes. here we have the two players involved. there has been a huge amount of shock, criticism, even from the australian prime minister that this has gone on. cricket is seen as one that this has gone on. cricket is seen as one of the last bastions of where people are gentlemanly and played properly and there now seems to be, and they have sort of ad meter to it, that —— admitted to it, that they were tampering with the ball, which means the bold this not come at you in a straight line. its wings. are used to watch cricket but luckily don't have too any more! were you forced to? that boy has not turned into a cricketer. you can
10:42 pm
tamper with bits of dirt and sticky tape that you can put in your pocket, and apparently the camera caught one of them doing this. it is quite shocking. if we lost the ashes in this way, i think we might demand to repay them. that is the question, whether it was going on in that competition as well, rather than just south africa. so this is a deepening crisis, and as an american i know that ashes is incredibly important for people who play cricket, and it speaks to a larger point. people watch sports to distract themselves from their everyday lives, and it feels like things are being tampered with, it is less fun. let's go to the guardian, hastily (i) march for is less fun. let's go to the guardian, hastily (!) march for our lives, students from the school in florida where 17 people were shot dead last month, having been part of this extraordinary rally that we saw in the united states yesterday. how much traction this will have in the long term, but at the moment they are long term, but at the moment they a re really long term, but at the moment they are really making a noise. what is interesting is i think this is the
10:43 pm
first group i have seen who go on and on and on, making a fuss. i thought after those little children we re thought after those little children were killed, i thought those parents would go on, but they are probably heartbroken. these young people, this is the voice of a whole generation saying, enough. and i think there will be some traction. i mean, whether it is during mr trump's presidency, we will see, but it will effect i think the way america thinks certainly about not just guns that shoot one bullet at a time but these automated rivals. president obama found how difficult it was to make any change at also the odds they are up against is immense. as an american, it is so just sad to read almost weekly about the numberof just sad to read almost weekly about the number of school shootings that happen in my country, it isjust so sad. i have to say, further to your point, this weekend i was so moved to see the future of our country's
10:44 pm
policy coming together. and, as you say, your late teens is a moment when you do gain political consciousness and awareness. and you wa nt to consciousness and awareness. and you want to march for what you believe in. it is before you settle down with any sort of responsibilities, so with any sort of responsibilities, so they will keep going. staying with the pay gap, this is the equality watchdog, just a very quick comment. april the 4th is the deadline, there are many companies we have not heard from and we don't think they are companies that are proud of their gender equality pay. so quite
