the story front page of regarding, the story quotes complacency verging on complicity. the financial times says michel barnier has soft and his opposition to theresa may's plan for financial services. another brexit story, the times says the uk has warned brussels that thousands of european investment funds could be under threat if it refuses to give the city of london a favourable deal. the daily express says that lord mandelson insulted 17 million brexit daughters yesterday when he accused some of them of heating foreigners. and the landmark supreme court ruling that means families will no longer need legal permission to withdraw treatment for patients on mac ina withdraw treatment for patients on mac in a permanent vegetative state.

daily telegraph says it rail elector has been accused of living on another planet after claiming the trains and the envy of europe. and... and... a wide variety of front pages to discuss. let us start. the headline, end of life ruling is welcomed by families, this landmark supreme courtjudgment that families, this landmark supreme court judgment that relatives families, this landmark supreme courtjudgment that relatives will no longer need legal permission to end care for loved ones in a permanent registered at state. this isa permanent registered at state. this is a significant ruling. it is huge, although there will be some people who have reservations about it, and there are various vocal campaigning groups raising objections, i think it isa groups raising objections, i think it is a very humane ruling and i think there will be so many
10:47 pm
families, thousands of families, that fuel a burden has been lifted. i saw it moving interview with a woman whose brother had been put into it, after a car accident, she spent years fighting through the courts act to allow him to die. she had already suffered the trauma of the accident and losing her brother as she knew him and then be added trauma of fighting it through the court which meet all the more stressed by the situation, i think it isa stressed by the situation, i think it is a humane and compassionate ruling. do you agree? it is a controversial area. unquestionably, the examples that james refers to, this ruling will relieve a lot of pain and suffering for those families, nevertheless i do have concerns about this, because in the end who doesn't speak for the victim, if you like, in these
10:48 pm
circumstances? the patient. and the legal system was there to represent the interestss of that person. you could argue, and i am sure with great voracity and a lot of these cases, that the interests of that person is being properly served by the medics, but the reason we have these kind of laws is to offer protection for the few cases where that might not be the case. there will be some concern about this. interesting. let us move on to the guardian, and the headline, aid charities failing to tackle endemic sexual abuse, say mps, this follows the revelation that oxfam workers we re the revelation that oxfam workers were being survivors of an earthquake for sex. this is astonishing that they have not got their house in order. this is quite
10:49 pm
remarkable. the reason this has come to light again is that he mps have been investigating further since the original investigations, and they have now published their report. this is what they are saying, they are being so complacent as to being continuing to be complicit, in their words, to the abuse of victims. how much worse can the situation of many of these days that people be invidious situation is? and to have this forced upon them as well, i do not know what you think, genes, but it seems to me that many people would think there is still too much money going to these charities, that they are not being more vigilant
10:50 pm
about this. i think that is a danger and that saddens me. in my view organisations like save the children and oxfam do brilliant work, but as this is indicating, some of them are not doing enough to put their house in order. they are seeing there is failure in dealing with long—standing complaints going back as far as 2002, there have been accusations, and the system has failed to respond adequately over that time sees this report. it is alarming. this has been hanging around for 16 years and the charities have still not clamped down on it. it is all about image, perception, the american word, optics. pr is everything, i am sad to see, in some ways. the pr for these charities is terrible. i know that contributions have fallen off a

cliff for some charities. and prosecutions of those found guilty, where rb, they seem to be let go without facing charges? we do not know if there is enough evidence for prosecution. the times, john mcdonnell criticises jeremy corbyn as anti—semitism crisis continues. this crisis seems to deepen and deepen. what has john this crisis seems to deepen and deepen. what hasjohn mcdonnell said? what we both thought was significant about this story is that normally it is difficult to put a cigarette paper between john mcdonnell and jeremy corbyn. they have presented a united front over the last two or three years butjohn mcdonnell is a shrewd operator, he
10:52 pm
has recognised that this is doing a great deal of damage to the labour party in general, and also to his andjeremy party in general, and also to his and jeremy corbyn's particular brand of the labour party. it seems to me that he is trying to distance himself from jeremy corbyn because it is widely understood that jeremy corbyn, for whatever reason, is extremely both stiverne, and perhaps bunkered, about the extent of this problem stopped —— extremely both stubborn. john mcdonnell has let it be known that he does not agree that dame margaret hodge should be facing disciplinary actions for criticisms ofjeremy corbyn. disciplinary actions for criticisms of jeremy corbyn. this information has come into the public domain through senior cabinet sources. it
10:53 pm
may well be john mcdonnell through senior cabinet sources. it may well bejohn mcdonnell himself. there is an interesting quote saying, we are not comfortable with the big jeremy corbyn has handled this, do not know why we have got into this mess, i would naturally be a labour supporter but this is one of many issues werejeremy corbyn is making me think, i do not want to support this party, they have not done enough to prove that they are genuinely against anti—semitism. in so many cases. they have endless amount of abuse suffered. an interview yesterday, it was said the party is not doing enough to cou ntera ct party is not doing enough to counteract the impression that it is anti—semitic. jeremy corbyn is not doing enough. he has not been clear
10:54 pm
enough. the times article also refers to further pressure, embarrassment, that the party is suffering from, as a result of a recording made by thejewish chronicle, talking about trump fanatics as being responsible for what he calls false claims of anti—semitism. one other story on the front page of the times, the flight that was turned around manually, the flight that disappeared, a mystery. turned around manually, the flight that disappeared, a mysterym turned around manually, the flight that disappeared, a mystery. if it was a movie you would say it was unbelievable. the report says it
10:55 pm
looks like the controls were deliberately manipulated. they still do not know how or why this aircraft was dodt. unlike the tragedy with the aircraft where the pilot was undergoing psychosis, there is no evidence that any of these pilots work under stress, there is no political element, it is a mystery. they seem to be no closer to solving the mystery. one can only imagine how frustrating and devastating this must be to family and relatives of people who lost loved ones in this the study because, how can they get any kind of closure when they are no further forward to finding out? they have been through enough already,
