who was beaten to death in 2007, reveals her anguish as the paper reports two of his killers are prepared to be released next year. and the daily mail leads on new figures that suggests 22,000 children leave primary school severely obese. so an unusual situation tonight with different headlines for each paper. we will start off with the telegraph. nhs woes, we had the nhs on the papers this morning, and tomorrow morning as well. what are we talking about? a free lunch, everybody wants to know how you fix the nhs. somebody is offering without spending any addition to the £120 billion budget that the nhs has, the medical director of acute ca re has, the medical director of acute care in the nhs says that part of the problem is bed blocking, surgeons cannot do the operations they want to because they do not have these beds spat. he is calling
11:31 pm
for innovative thinking about how the nhs can use the resources they have,in the nhs can use the resources they have, in the past people cannot move out of hospital because they do not have ca re places out of hospital because they do not have care places to go to all care in their homes. he says that surgeons could be part of the solution, thinking how they can free up solution, thinking how they can free up beds and get operations happening so the nhs can save some money. what is he saying, to turf out the patients? is talking about surgeons kicking their heels waiting for surgeons to come in. the story does not tell us any numbers whatsoever. previously it was estimated that there is about £1 billion of waste in the nhs, anything from people with repeated infections after going infora hip with repeated infections after going in for a hip operation or knee operation. and the bed blocking aspect, and also things like some nhs trusts spending doubled the amountand nhs trusts spending doubled the amount and loo roll than others, just because of their purchasing managers, not being good at finding
11:32 pm
decent deals for patients too. but then the nhs is already under pressure to find £22 billion of savings by 2020. we will see more and more nhs stories in the run—up tojuly, and more nhs stories in the run—up to july, because and more nhs stories in the run—up tojuly, because theresa may is under pressure to force philip hammond to write a cheque for the nhs. the question is, where will that money come from? will there be a rise in taxes, we saw that last week, will there be national insurance ring fence payments for the nhs? where will it come from? talking about money, let's stay with the telegraph and. and in bank of england brexit growl, what is this about? it feels like we are negotiating a bit —— brow. what is interesting is that the bank of england supervisors, they tried to avoid the next economic crisis, they did not do brilliantly in trying to
11:33 pm
avoid the last one. they are worried some of their powers will effectively be given to brussels as pa rt of effectively be given to brussels as part of the brexit deal, we will end up part of the brexit deal, we will end up so closely aligned to brussels that uk regulators including the bank of england will not have the freedom that they need to keep the banks in order. it may sound dry and technical. but only practical level, the relationship between the treasury, philip hammond, senior officials and the bank of england are very bad and that is quite worrying, people investing in the british economy will think that those running the economy do not seem to get on. it is interesting that we hear about 300 separate projects under way...? that we hear about 300 separate projects under way. . . ? yes, that we hear about 300 separate projects under way...? yes, quite, it is interesting that they've brought nicola sturgeon into the story, the first minister of scotland, meeting michel barnier later in the meeting, talking about matt brexiteers, i'm not sure that is language that she should be using —— mad. people are critical of that
11:34 pm
kind of language these days, she thinks that theresa may is listening too much to the brexiteers. like jacob rees—mogg. too much to the brexiteers. like jacob rees-mogg. we will turn to your paper, henry? the financial times. it is all about italy and the effect it has had on the markets. yes, however bad politics looks in the uk, it is nowhere near the standard cities in italy. to rewind, italy voted for the big winners of its elections as populist parties, people hated the establishment but today they have ended up with a former imf official being appointed the prime minister and leading government. the reason investors are worried is because this will fuel more antiestablishment sentiment that when elections happen again, there will almost have to be a new round, people will be angry as they seemed the president appointed technocrat who does not have a
11:35 pm
mandate, in his view, to try and steadied the ship. but in the view of the populist party, such as holding back the populist agenda to holding back the populist agenda to hold italy's membership in the eurozone. this could possibly be a gift? give us more elections like henry was saying... pramac absolutely, the italians are locked into this. they are locked into the euro, arguably it is hobbling their economy. you also have a difficult situation with immigration, they've been promised that people will be sent away. i cannot see it getting better any time soon. there were reports that the italian economy was booming post—war and then it dropped away when they entered the eurozone.
11:36 pm
with that in mind, a lot of italians say... with that in mind, a lot of italians say. . . what with that in mind, a lot of italians say... what benefit is there for them? they say... what benefit is there for them ? they cannot say... what benefit is there for them? they cannot do anything with their currency. let's go to the the times. the sex for food scandal, it reads really badly. again, at the turn of the year, we had this scandal breaking. and a series of stories which brought in all of the big—name charities that we know very well. household name charities. this isa well. household name charities. this is a story about an official united nations report about a sex for food scandal. it has never been published. this is the key here. we do not know if this is something that has been buried, if there are just a few facts that were perhaps wrong. what we do know is that it is a94 wrong. what we do know is that it is a 94 page document, the times
11:37 pm
obtained it. it identifies more than 40 aid organisations whose workers we re 40 aid organisations whose workers were alleged to be involved in sexually exploitative relationships with refugee children. families feeling that they had to give up their teenage daughters in return for plastic. for shelter, forfood, for plastic. for shelter, forfood, for sheeting, access to education, yet another story... we will not name the charities, the paper does, there is no right to reply. it was published. —— unpublished. henry, is this something that will ever stop? for those accepting the food, some would say it was the only way and it will carry on. this report, it was submitted to management in 2002, it is not something new going on now,
11:38 pm
what is new is that we've got the names that we are not going to say. i think that people will really look at this report, and mp5, and say who we re at this report, and mp5, and say who were those in the report, involved? did individual charities look into it? and did those in senior positions, are they still in senior positions, are they still in senior positions in charities now? we will turn to the guardian, and interested in your combination here! less spiderman, and we will have a look at roman abramovich. did you see dean mali and climb? wasn't it incredible? incredible upper strength! as you pointed out earlier, it is two citizenship stories! but with very different backgrounds. 0bviously, happy news
11:39 pm
for mamoudou, he will get his french citizenship. and happy news for roman abramovich committee can come to britain on his israeli passport for a short stay without a visa. people who were not welcome a bit more welcome. mamoudou gassama is on the fast track to citizenship, president macron is very impressed but when i looked in the video, i did not understand why the neighbour does not grab the baby. the neighbour that is leaning over? any today hollywood ending. and roman abramovich, a feel—good story for france. this one has real geopolitical implications. we know that roman abramovich has not had his visa renewed for the uk and has taught as part of the wider freeze
11:40 pm
in russian relations. as israel is rolling out the red carpet for him, it may suggest to britain that israel isn't backing london when it comes to moscow. roman abramovich is jewish and he is entitled to israeli citizenship if he wants to move there. interesting timing, though... we will end there. thank you to both of you. just to remind you that if you want to catch up on all of the papers, take a look at those front pages... you can get it all online on the bbc news website. it is there seven days a week. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you henry and lynn. next, it's bollywood's dark secret. rajini vaidya nathan reports on sexual abuse and harassment in the indian film industry. the glitz and glamour of bollywood.
11:41 pm
0ne the glitz and glamour of bollywood. one of the world's largest film industries. with its mix of bright colours, exaggerated melodrama... and over the top dance routines, it is the ultimate form of escapism. millions watch their rivals on the big screen —— idols. for those chasing their own bollywood dream, the reality can be dark, and sleazy... he started telling me, for an actress, you should be happy to have sex. sleep with me, and if you wa nt have sex. sleep with me, and if you want to have this part. this is one bollywood story most are afraid to share. people do not listen to you if you are a nobody. if you are a
11:42 pm
celebrity and you talk about it, it becomes a headline. people are so scared. some people are regarded as gods. last year, hollywood had its me too moment. actresses went public, alleging that they were sexually harassed and assaulted by producer, harvey weinstein. it was a moment of reckoning. women and men came together to call out sexual abuse in america's film industry. but many wondered why here in india, bollywood did not follow suit. it isn't because there isn't a problem. i've spoken to many in the industry who say that there is a huge issue when it comes to sexual harassment. every year, thousands of budding actors and actresses head to mumbai, india's film capital, for their shot at stardom. 0ften mumbai, india's film capital, for
11:43 pm
their shot at stardom. often from small villages, they arrive with no contacts and little experience. girl from outside is the easiest target. because she does not have herfamily, the target. because she does not have her family, the family to support her family, the family to support her —— the family need supporting as well. she is alone, she needs money. this 25—year—old aspiring actress told me about a time she met a bollywood agent six years ago. she asked us to conceal her identity and change her voice because she is terrified of speaking out. this person bluntly told me that you have to be prepared, you have to be cool about these kinds of things. and you have to endure these things. you know when i say these things, you know when i say these things, you know what i mean. you have to be ok and comfortable and the expected to enjoy, you know? he touched me
11:44 pm
wherever he wanted. he put his hand inside my dress, and he started removing that as well. i froze. i did not know what was happening. i was really, really young. ifinally told him look, i'm not good with this. he stopped. and he said, you know what? if you really want to work in this industry, i don't think you've got the right attitude. but she says it happened again. this time when she met a director. he said, isaw time when she met a director. he said, i saw your pictures, i thought you have great assets but i do not see that right now. i want to see it, can you remove your clothes? then he started telling me that, for an actress, you should be happy to have sex. as and when possible. embrace your sexuality, use it. this
11:45 pm
is your biggest, biggest weapon, you may say. he just came towards me and he said, come on, remove your clothes. i want to see. i want to see your assets. and he started doing that, he started removing it. and... it's too uncomfortable for me to speak further, but yeah. did you ever think of going to the police? the answer i got from the police, was that they are filming people. he probably meant the law doesn't apply to filming people, and justified when it happened. why are you afraid to go public with the stories?“ somebody speaks up, everybody trashes the girl and says
