because of funding cuts. a variety of stories making the front pages. let's see what our reviewers make of it all. let's start with philip green which we have been talking about on bbc all day. where allegations of course. the whole thing, has developed from a campaign that your paper has been running for about nondisclosure agreements. while, we have. the face received information about a cover—up of abuses by philip green last summer which we decided it was in the public interest to investigate. we follow this and october at that the court of appeal granted an injunction at injection has now been dropped, but what is
10:39 pm
particularly disappointing i guess is that thejudge particularly disappointing i guess is that the judge did not grant action protection for those making the allegations and did not consider the allegations and did not consider the public interest of those to take president of the confidentiality use. president of the confidentiality use. that is why we are. we are asking that government to look at legislation on mvas. i felt that our lots of things in place, that is clear that there is evidence that thatis clear that there is evidence that that is not being used properly and he being used to cover up harassment, discrimination, and that should not be the case. a lot of people are probably asking why employees sign these nondisclosure agreements because they are not forced to do this are they? it is a interesting piece of the story. they say that it was fear. you have an
10:40 pm
incredibly powerful person, and you are scared that they couldn't use that power against you and they cut possibly blight your career if you do not comply with what they are demanding. it is very difficult. you go to bike with them, but this is a general point, you go to work for a company and you as subjects of bullying or intimidation or sexism or abuse, bullying or intimidation or sexism orabuse, and if you bullying or intimidation or sexism or abuse, and if you base a complaint, you put your ownjob on the line. sometimes, you want to get outs, and you want to get out but some money because you are in financial difficulty as well. so you can understand the psychological and personal pressure. so much as the language used in this account is reminiscent of the stories that have come out around the me too story. it
10:41 pm
is all very a story about an imbalance of power is not that is what worries me most is that the people but lots of money and with influence, we know this guy is a knight, he conducted a report for david and we have successive governments, and they had the balance to pursue this but the courts, but yet people on the other side, they do not. it is very expensive, it is costing philip green £3 million, that is small change for him, but for someone else thatis change for him, but for someone else that is a lot. they could still be people out there who could have been the victims of capital offences potentially invite places and who assigned an nda and they were

selling for like they cannot go to the police. this has really shown that the system is broken.|j the police. this has really shown that the system is broken. i should point out that there is no suggestion that philip green has the and anybody. in respect of his allegations that mac there is also a statement from his lawyer saying that his style is predominantly jovial in nature and that he has a playful way of poking and prodding individuals whom he has worked with closely. so they say this is very much from fights of his working style. jason, you mentioned the first page of the daily mail, let's go to that. the same story predominantly on its front page. this is, as us navy, the legal cost concerns. my point here is that access to that uk. with cuts to
10:43 pm
legal aid, there was a report out couple of weeks ago that not just in times of cases like this, by in criminal cases, you have to be rich to avoid justice. that is a serious question here of he is able to be a bench pressing and nobody else is able to use that while it to silence people and kind of... i did not think it is very equal. for like if you have enough money, you can silence your victims. what eventually does the paper help to achieve as of all principal? to have nda's seriously overhauled. update that legislation around that are

through this. this is a tough line, and it is because which one do you dislike most? that has a lot of inquiry about him about allegations that he backed by the mob, the extramarital affairs, and yet the wild's most richest man, powerful man that has tax evasion, and it is the middle of the divorce cases, do not ask me to choose sides, but in times of story, while it is good. not ask me to choose sides, but in times of story, while it is goodm has blackmailed, it has got it all.
