for the guardian, dawn foster. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the metro leads with a story that victims of sexual offences are being warned that they must hand in their phones to police or risks letting their attackers go unpunished. the times leads with the same story — adding that two women are planning a legal challenge to plans for those reporting rape to be required to hand in their phones, computers and smart watches. 0n the front page of the guardian is a report that whistleblowers have alleged that chaos, incompetence and bullying of home office employees is resulting in failed deporations and the detention of vulnerable people. the i anticipates a tough week ahead for the conservatives, predicting that they will lose 1,000 council seats in thursday's local elections. the mail leads on a big survey which has concluded that britons who are above a healthy weight are at a heightened risk of developing severe health conditions including strokes, heart failure or an irregular heartbeat. for the telegraph — the main story, once again, concerns the chinese technology firm huawei. it reports foreign secretaryjeremy
11:34 pm
hunt's comments that britain should be cautious about allowing the fim to help build britain's 56 network. the express leads on proposals drawn up by former deputy prime minister damian green which mean that over—sos could be forced to pay extra in national insurance to access good quality care in old age. and the sun pictures a police officer doing a back flip on a trampoline, allegedly during a drugs raid. the paper's headline writers couldn't resist referencing the bbc‘s hit sunday night drama, line of duty. i won't spoil what i've been reading about that. i should keep away from social media on a sunday night because i don't get a chance to watch it live so i have to avoid people like kate evan in particular who just like to people like kate evan in particular whojust like to spoil people like kate evan in particular who just like to spoil things for me. “—
11:35 pm
who just like to spoil things for me. —— kate bevan. now, to huawei. last night we had the chinese are saying don't worry, don't listen to donald trump. element nowjeremy hunt has come out and said yes we do need to be cautious. —— yes and now jeremy hunt. need to be cautious. —— yes and now jeremy hunt. it's interesting from hunt, he is breaking rank with the rest of the cabinet. it's difficult to see it other than something other than a slight move towards a leadership bid that it will be interesting to see if more people come out and back him and worry about this after this. and the sg network, we need help with that but the concern is the security implications if we have a company thatis implications if we have a company that is thought to have links with the chinese government involved in that. and that's why it seems, from the leak that the telegraph had last week at least, the government is
11:36 pm
only going to let the cup —— company have involvement in non—core parts of the network was not striking aboutjeremy of the network was not striking about jeremy hunt's comments of the network was not striking aboutjeremy hunt's comments is he is saying something that hasn't already been said. the leak that the telegraph had last week was at the small security council which jeremy hunt had already decided. there is a slightly strange freezing which suggests he is trying to reopen the decision. it did feel the decision had been made from the leaks. yes and that's the reason the leak had back ad leak was made. it exposed that it had already happened. it shows thatjeremy hunt and maybe other people he had spoken to in the cabinet had looked at public opinion, look at the backlash and are trying to row back on this. it's not going to help theresa may to also having to paddle around 5g after a really embarrassing leak. there are questions about whether
11:37 pm
you can keep that core element where the most confidential data is stored away from other parts of it and stop people accessing it if they're involved in the setting up of 5g. it's a complex question and quite important. it's a debate the country needs to have more widely than this national security council about not just the uk's relationship with huawei but with china more generally. it's one of those things clouded out by brexit. the cameron government brought the uk a lot closer to china and there were questions that theresa may was a more cautious about that. that's why i was thinking that the leak did us a service because we are having the discussion out in the open. times, fracking chief undermined by absurd propositions about fracking. a lot of people might not have even known that we had a shale gas czar. yes,
11:38 pm
the czar, the newspaper friendly version. local residents wanted questions answered about fracking and how it works. she has quit saying that the government is basically not allowing the conditions for fracking to happen. in particular, there is the rule where fracking must be suspended when there is a tremor of 0.5 or above on the richter scale and the company is saying that that is basically, natasha engel said that ifa basically, natasha engel said that if a marathon on took place near that than it would tip the richter scale this topic speaks to a government that doesn't quite know what it wants. it hasn't spoken a big game on fracking and that it once more to take place but the person they have put is the czar for
11:39 pm
fracking says the conditions are not amenable enough for it to be taking place in any meaningful degree and the government needs to decide either way. there are huge concerns we have seen from protest in the parts ——in the past and people living near the site to gilly —— particularly what might happen to their house. there are worries about house prices and worries about houses. the 0.5 richter scale rule that was put in by the government, what natasha engel is saying is what the industry have asked for, for it to be brought up to 1.5 and campaigners and locals want that to happen first of a lot of these areas are quite conservative areas so the government are beholden to the fact that if they backed her they would have looked like they were in the hip pocket of industry and if they hadn't then they risk losing their
11:40 pm
voters. talk to us about the story on the guardian. home office chaos. whistleblowers saying that their teams are facing very stringent targets which it's very difficult for them to meet. the guardian did a series of articles in the paper on a lot of unhappiness in the home office. frontpage is focusing on the very, very overworked and under resourced people who are processing asylu m resourced people who are processing asylum claims. there are some things that are very worrying. it should ta ke that are very worrying. it should take six months to process an asylum claim and their backlogs have taken about two years. there are perverse incentives for people, for these people to reject them as well. they are very, very time poor, very stressed out and to grant an application that you are giving 200 does make you are given 222 minutes but to reject it you are given 555. there is a perverse incentive to
11:41 pm
rejected so you have more time. they need to deport people and then pilots can't. .. what was until last week the third country unit which decides where asylum applicants should be placed within the eu. it's 110w should be placed within the eu. it's now called the dublin cessation team. no—one in the home office wants to work there. by the sound of this story, you can understand why. the thing in this story which will concern anyone wherever they stand on refugee policy, asylum policy, immigration policy more generally, this is a system that clearlyjust isn't functioning. anything like the pace you would need it functioning for people seeking asylum. decisions on whether people can stay in the uk which is supposed to take six
11:42 pm
months, taking two years. during that time, applicants are in limbo. they can't work, they can't rent property, they can't get on with their lives. given that in lots of cases they are then going to be allowed to stay in the uk because they have is —— they have an asylum application approved, it feels really quite worrying for their life, getting on with their life, to be delayed byjust the home office not functioning properly. at one point, it was described as not fit for purpose. there have been so many stories. it feels as if every week there is a new story about how the home office is in chaos. i don't think it's a coincidence was not i think it's a coincidence was not i think it's a very badly run department. it hasn't been fit for purpose in years. is it badly run or is it just facing some purpose in years. is it badly run or is itjust facing some very difficult policy areas? is itjust facing some very difficult policy areas7|j is itjust facing some very difficult policy areas? i think it's both. i think the windrush scandal was very deliberately engineered and that came from bad running and bad engineering on theresa may's part.
11:43 pm
sajid javid said he would come in and take charge of the compensation scheme with windrush and it seems to have fallen by the wayside. there are so many have fallen by the wayside. there are so many problems and lots of civil servants have told of their problems and no—one seems to be listening. the mirror. slightly overweight. 18.5 million brits in the fat danger zone. it's notjust if you are obese, it if you are overweight, it seems to have brought down the weight that you need to be to have the potential to suffer all sorts of health conditions. lots of people watching this will have been familiar with front pages for years proclaiming an obesity crisis. they use the word surprisingly. people who are overweight but definitely not obese, they have a risk of
11:44 pm
suffering wealth conditions. this study in particular has been conducted on a large number of people for quite a long period of time. this is a particularly comprehensive look at how many people will face health problems. and yet so many people know that it's not good for them. it's so hard for a lot of people to do anything about it. a lot of people really struggle. as these stories say, 50% of brits are at least slightly overweight and i think one in four are obese. very difficult to keep that weight. there was a lot of conflict in diet information as well and what exercise works. a lot of people will think that being slightly overweight won't cause that many problems that this shows it does. we need more advice on exactly what is good to eat it rather than just constantly following fad diets. the daily telegraph. into the final stretch. hayley carruthers who crawled across the finish line today
11:45 pm
in the london marathon. i would have been crawling for 25 miles of it probably. but here she is, coming in at 18th. clearly an incredibly fit athlete that the toll this race ta kes athlete that the toll this race takes on people is not to be underestimated. the amazing thing which i didn't realise until i read the picture caption in the telegraph and good on them for mentioning it, hayley carruthers is a full—time nhs radiographer. as well as being able to runa radiographer. as well as being able to run a marathon at such an amazing pace, and you can see the toll that running so fast takes, she is also working in the health service full—time. i honestly do not have a clue how she manages to fit in the training. i haven't realised that so i'm glad you pointed it out. none of us are ever i'm glad you pointed it out. none of us are ever the likely to do it.|j definitely won't be. it makes you feel incredibly inadequate in some ways but also just watching all
11:46 pm
these people running and looking at how hard they work. it's
