hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are maya goodfellow, political writer and academic, and simon minty, disability consultant and comedy producer. thank consultant and comedy producer. you very much f( tonight, thank you very much for staying on tonight, and we will discuss the front pages shortly. first of all, let's have a look at the front pages that we already have. the guardian reports on the backlash over the government's race report — campaigners describe it as "divisive" and "a missed opportunity". the times says some have described the review as "culturally deaf" because it "glorifies" the british empire. the metro leads on the news that the number of second coronavirus vaccine doses overtook first—time jabs — for the first time in the uk.

the sun reports that one of those who've had their second jab is the queen. the financial times reports on a disappointing day for deliveroo, which has had £2billion wiped off its value after its shares plunged 26% in its london market debut. and the telegraph reports on comments by the labour leader keir starmer, who has called the potential "covid passports" as un—british. the daily mirror demands a clampdown on litter louts, it says that park goers enjoying the end of lockdown restrictions have been leaving behind piles of litter. the daily mirror demands a clamp down, it says that park goers enjoying the end of lockdown restrictions have been leaving behind piles of litter. the daily mail reporting that the following investigations by its own paper, the charity commission, is now carrying out its most serious type of probe into the zoo charity where carrie symonds the prime minister's beyonce is director of

communications. so a lot of papers to get there. as always, thank you very much to our esteemed guests who arejoining us tonight very much to our esteemed guests who are joining us tonight for the second edition of this programme. maya, simon, thank you for hanging on their on this wednesday evening. let's start, maya, once again with the race commission report. we are going to focus on the times this time around, because it's looking at, there has been a lot of comment about this report. it's a study which was commissioned by the british government. the times focusing on this angle that the reporter's glorifying the british empire. bring us up to speed. yes. empire. bring us up to speed. yes, so one of the _ empire. bring us up to speed. yes, so one of the things _ empire. bring us up to speed. yes, so one of the things that _ empire. bring us up to speed. ye: so one of the things that we have heard repeatedly from young people who have been involved in antiracist protests like the black lives matter protests like the black lives matter protests last year was that they wa nt to protests last year was that they want to be a statutory parts of the curriculum. they want the brutalities of the british empire to be talked about. it's not something thatis be talked about. it's not something that is a statutory devour

curriculum, and you don't learn very much about it at all. instead, the government aren't doing that, and what this race review is suggesting is that there needs to be a new story told about slavery that isn't just about profit and suffering. so this really reads as they want to put some kind of positive spin and flavour in. so i think partly this gets to the core of some of the problems with the report when we are thinking about understanding racism. we need to understand british history and how these kinds of racial hierarchies were produced. and you just don't do that by glorifying slavery. i think a lot of the criticism has really been bound up the criticism has really been bound up with the fact that we have so much evidence already. i think of the past four years, there have been six reports of racial disparities in britain, we know the scale of the problem, we know that britain is structurally racist. we know that if you look at the stats, even during covid, the black minority ethnic people are up to two times as likely to die from coronavirus. that is a

product of social inequalities produced because of racism and not because some biological difference which actually doesn't exist. and crucially, one of the things that a lot of people have been saying today is that the report talks about class, it talks about regional inequalities, and the really important thing here is that these things can be bound up and intersect with racism. no one who works on race and racial inequalities doesn't then look at how it intersects with things like gender, class, geography. so these things do matter, but that doesn't mean that race is absent, actually, racist really central to understanding this, and i think some of the criticism has understandably come from the fact that some of the people who were involved in this report have a history of saying they don't believe the institutional racism exists or is a big deal. so it's not surprising that it's been found these findings it's come up with commander think this is something the government wanted because many people in the

government don't think institutional racism is a big thing. so really, this is somewhat predictable, but nonetheless pretty terrible, some of the findings, i think. 50 nonetheless pretty terrible, some of the findings, ithink.— the findings, i think. so for that kind of starting _ the findings, i think. so for that kind of starting block, - the findings, i think. so for that kind of starting block, simon i the findings, i think. so for that . kind of starting block, simon comic what do you make of it? can you have a fair and what do you make of it? can you have a fairand open what do you make of it? can you have a fair and open review and a reports given the amount of concern there was at the beginning as maya was pointing out alleging to who was leading this? was pointing out alleging to who was leading this?— pointing out alleging to who was leadin: this? ~ ., , . , . , leading this? was released in a very stranue leading this? was released in a very strange way- — leading this? was released in a very strange way- i _ leading this? was released in a very strange way. i think _ leading this? was released in a very strange way. i think there _ leading this? was released in a very strange way. i think there were - leading this? was released in a veryl strange way. i think there were some headiines— strange way. i think there were some headlines last night about there is no such_ headlines last night about there is no such thing as institutional racism, _ no such thing as institutional racism, and then today, we get the full on _ racism, and then today, we get the full on report that starts to talk about _ full on report that starts to talk about the — full on report that starts to talk about the social economic differences and things that it listed — differences and things that it listed. the fact that we have mps and campaigners both united saying this isnt— and campaigners both united saying this isn't a _ and campaigners both united saying this isn't a good reports, we have serious _ this isn't a good reports, we have serious problems with it, that gives enough _ serious problems with it, that gives enough of— serious problems with it, that gives enough of it for me to go, welcome it doesn't— enough of it for me to go, welcome it doesn't sound very promising what they have _ it doesn't sound very promising what they have done, i suppose this is by they have done, i suppose this is by the commission for race and ethnic disparity. _ the commission for race and ethnic disparity, which i will admit, i

haven't— disparity, which i will admit, i haven't heard of until —— they came into being — haven't heard of until —— they came into being under theresa may, but i didn't— into being under theresa may, but i didn't know— into being under theresa may, but i didn't know of them before, so again. — didn't know of them before, so again. i— didn't know of them before, so again, i want to know a bit more about— again, i want to know a bit more about them, their methodology, what they have _ about them, their methodology, what they have done here, because there are a _ they have done here, because there are a lot _ they have done here, because there are a lot of— they have done here, because there are a lot of questions. i don't know if i are a lot of questions. i don't know if i am _ are a lot of questions. i don't know if i am trying — are a lot of questions. i don't know if i am trying to pick out some good things— if i am trying to pick out some good things from — if i am trying to pick out some good things from it, and i am more than happy— things from it, and i am more than happy for— things from it, and i am more than happy for maya to educate and advise me, happy for maya to educate and advise me. but— happy for maya to educate and advise me, but there are some things i liked _ me, but there are some things i liked and — me, but there are some things i liked and the recommendations. there 24 recommendations, the included fully funding the equality and human rights— fully funding the equality and human rights commission, which could be such a _ rights commission, which could be such a great body, but we know it's not, such a great body, but we know it's not. and _ such a great body, but we know it's not, and that means i can do less and less— not, and that means i can do less and less work about advising or clarifying — and less work about advising or clarifying pieces of legislation and education. there were things like police _ education. there were things like police training, which is forever and a _ police training, which is forever and a day— police training, which is forever and a day that we are doing that. looking — and a day that we are doing that. looking at — and a day that we are doing that. looking at the health disparities. and it _ looking at the health disparities. and it does mention inclusive curriculum, but again, we have a contradiction that it wants to give another— contradiction that it wants to give another side to slavery. sol contradiction that it wants to give another side to slavery. so i don't know— another side to slavery. so i don't know whether there are some recommendations that maya says that these are _ recommendations that maya says that these are welcome or whether it's 'ust

these are welcome or whether it's just fundamentally flawed. what do ou just fundamentally flawed. what do you reckon. — just fundamentally flawed. what do you reckon, maya, _ just fundamentally flawed. what do you reckon, maya, because - just fundamentally flawed. what do you reckon, maya, because one - just fundamentally flawed. what do | you reckon, maya, because one that just fundamentally flawed. what do i you reckon, maya, because one that a lot of people have been speaking about is the term the bam e, that term, and itjust doesn't work. —— bame. and you know, you go back, and this has been a debate for a really long time. it's not that terminology doesn't matter, but i suppose that one of the things that i do sort of worry about is one of the things that i do sort of worry about i— one of the things that i do sort of worry about is really all the terms that we have _ worry about is really all the terms that we have are _ worry about is really all the terms that we have are problematic - worry about is really all the terms that we have are problematic in l that we have are problematic in certain ways, and that sort of taking us away from the material of this, which is the fact that when we are talking about racism, in a lot of ways, it's about life and death. when people theorise on this and they write about it, there is a really well—known scholar, ruth wilson gilmore who talks about racism being predisposed to vulnerability to premature death, and i think that we don't want to lose sight of actually what we are talking about here, and i think that really, one of the problems, one of the real problems with this report seems to be the underpinning idea of how racism is even being

conceptualized, because there is way too much focus both on public debate, actually, and then also in this report on the individual prejudice, orthe this report on the individual prejudice, or the way individuals act, and obviously, individuals do matter, but we work and systems, and we work off of histories and we work off of logic that is built up over time, and that is part of a problem. we need to be understanding this structural, as being structurally produced. because if we always boil it down to the individual, we end up losing that this is about power more broadly in society and notjust about a few bad apples making bad decisions are doing bad things. it's much broader than that. i am with maya. sometimes people obsess about language, and then they miss the really critical issues. we know language is important and being addressed properly. it think the criticism about bame, and this has been kicking around for five or six years they have had problems with it. the notion being that it's not specific enough. so organisations or companies can say, oh, yeah, we are really great on bame, but it doesn't

actually determine whether black people or asian— people or asian people, does it include polish _ people or asian people, does it include polish people? - include polish people? there _ include polish people? there is a whole... it's all too encompassing end itjust blocks everybody together. there are huge disparities _ everybody together. there are huge disparities within that. so it's about— disparities within that. so it's about not— disparities within that. so it's about not being lazy and it's about being _ about not being lazy and it's about being a _ about not being lazy and it's about being a bit— about not being lazy and it's about being a bit more specific, and this does _ being a bit more specific, and this does mean — being a bit more specific, and this does mean more hard work and it might— does mean more hard work and it might mean a bit more... it might be a bit more— might mean a bit more... it might be a bit more complicated to begin with until we _ a bit more complicated to begin with until we get our heads around it. a lot until we get our heads around it. lot more understanding as well than what we are understanding and learning. inc. you both very much. we are going to move away from the race report, a lot of reaction today of course regarding it, so thank you for going through that. let's look at the express. maya, this is, victims of crime or being put first, talk us through what the paper is talking about. 50 i talk us through what the paper is talking about.— talking about. so i would be interested _ talking about. so i would be interested to _ talking about. so i would be interested to see _ talking about. so i would be interested to see what - talking about. so i would be interested to see what the l talking about. so i would be - interested to see what the actual specifics of this are, but what the express is saying is that people who have been victims of crime are going to be told when offenders are being

released and that women in particular who have been sexually assaulted, what the paper sizes they will be spared reliving that ordeal in court, which i think if that is accurate, it's a positive thing. but what i would say about this is that we would need to see the details, i believe i'm not wrong in saying that the labour party actually talked about something similar very recently, so i would be interested to see the comparisons between the government plans and what the labour party said. but i think my secondary point without knowing too much about the specifics of this as i think it's not that surprising that the government sort of want to look tough on law and order. that's really their shtick. we have local elections coming up, but sometimes, it seems like they want to be seen doing stuff when actually it would be useful to have a slightly more considered approach and notjust always going for thinking about the costs or thinking about imprisoning people or thinking about law and

order. and what i mean by that is in relation to things like sexual assault, i think there needs to be much more consideration and discussion about the wide—ranging changes we need to see in society in order for this to changes we need to see in society in orderfor this to change. changes we need to see in society in order for this to change. and changes we need to see in society in orderfor this to change. and i know that we will go into the whole specifics of the debates, but given everything that we did talk about in relation to the horrendous murder of sarah everard, i do think that actually, it's not really useful, i think to rush on these things, but actually to think about the kind of cultural change that needs to happen in relation to thinking about violence against women. we in relation to thinking about violence against women. we will hear more about that _ violence against women. we will hear more about that as _ violence against women. we will hear more about that as it _ violence against women. we will hear more about that as it is _ violence against women. we will hear more about that as it is unveiled, - more about that as it is unveiled, let's move to the metro. the paper double bubble on jabs. let's move to the metro. the paper double bubble onjabs. does let's move to the metro. the paper double bubble on jabs. does that work? i don't know? it's very good, it's made us smile. it's basically the number of people having the second dose of the vaccine is doing well today, simon. doesn't quite make sense to me. it

is a good _ doesn't quite make sense to me. it is a good news story. more people have _ is a good news story. more people have have — is a good news story. more people have have a — is a good news story. more people have have a second job today, 270.526 — have have a second job today, 270,526 versus 224,590 that have had the first _ 270,526 versus 224,590 that have had the first job _ 270,526 versus 224,590 that have had the firstjob. so it's the first time — the firstjob. so it's the first time or— the firstjob. so it's the first time or have had the second. the vaccine _ time or have had the second. the vaccine administer, again, just to keep— vaccine administer, again, just to keep calm — vaccine administer, again, just to keep calm and get vaccinated. we need _ keep calm and get vaccinated. we need a _ keep calm and get vaccinated. we need a little bit more if they are going _ need a little bit more if they are going to — need a little bit more if they are going to be celebrating. it does mean _ going to be celebrating. it does mean 4~i — going to be celebrating. it does mean 4.1 million adults are fully vaccinated, and that is nearly 8% of the population. obviously, we have only got— the population. obviously, we have only got 26— the population. obviously, we have only got 26 knowing who have really -ood only got 26 knowing who have really good protection from one. there was a 44—year—old they spoke to who i don't _ a 44—year—old they spoke to who i don't like — a 44—year—old they spoke to who i don't like the phrases, but he was clinically— don't like the phrases, but he was clinically vulnerable —— vulnerable. and he _ clinically vulnerable —— vulnerable. and he says — clinically vulnerable —— vulnerable. and he says it feels like we are finally — and he says it feels like we are finally doing something right at last _ finally doing something right at last. there is some really great stuff _ last. there is some really great stuff. 99.25% take—up of the second 'ob, stuff. 99.25% take—up of the second job. so— stuff. 99.25% take—up of the second job. so they— stuff. 99.25% take—up of the second job, so they have had one, they are not worrying — job, so they have had one, they are not worrying about it. i did wonder, i do not worrying about it. i did wonder, i do want _ not worrying about it. i did wonder, i do want to— not worrying about it. i did wonder, i do want to know about priority

stilt _ i do want to know about priority stilt are — i do want to know about priority still. are people with learning disabilities who are left out until the campaign started to change that, -et the campaign started to change that, get my— the campaign started to change that, get my disability happen on, and i am concerned about who may or may not be _ am concerned about who may or may not be getting it. i'm also curious to see _ not be getting it. i'm also curious to see what — not be getting it. i'm also curious to see what that you are thinking with knocking these numbers out and celebrating. their roll—out has been so much _ celebrating. their roll—out has been so much slower and we know what the issues _ so much slower and we know what the issues are. _ so much slower and we know what the issues are. so— so much slower and we know what the issues are, so i'm kind of curious to see _ issues are, so i'm kind of curious to see what — issues are, so i'm kind of curious to see what they think about the. one person who has received the second dose is her majesty the queen. let's have a look at the image of the sun, because that is showing the queen, she has been out and about, but she was given the second vaccine after having the first shot earlier on in the year. so that is one person that has had both. again, the queen featuring on the times as well. but we are going to look at the times focus on the pfizer story because simon touched upon what the situation in the eu.

pfizer is accusing brussels of holding back the vaccine effort. so much finger—pointing when it comes to the whole who's been promised what, who has negotiated wet. yeah. there really is, and this is essentially pfizer saying that eu export controls have become a real issue for them in terms of the vaccine production, and that there needs to be free movement of goods across borders is going to be really, really important in belgium. and as you say, this is sort of bound up with the broader politics around the vaccine, the finger—pointing that you've talked about. but for me, when we talk about. but for me, when we talk about how we're here in the uk, and the massive success of the nhs being able to roll—out vaccines. it also does make me think, and this story makes me think about it really be necessary for everybody to be vaccinated globally. at the start of the pandemic, we talked about how this was a global thing, that everybody was sort of in it together, even though there are obviously different levels of

exposure depending on people's existing situations. and i really think as we are thinking about that, it's notjust about europe, uk and us, we need to think globally, and there is some work being done on this, obviously, but this shouldn't, sort of fall to the bottom of the list. we need to make sure that everyone is able to access the vaccine, and it isn'tjust an parts of the world or certain classes of people that are able to a. ultimately everybody needs to get vaccinated, don't they? let's have a look at the daily mirror, because we have had some lovely weather, and people have been out and about after the slight relaxation of the lockdown rules. the repercussion, simon, is... they have to bend the litter louts. there _ they have to bend the litter louts. there is _ they have to bend the litter louts. there is or — they have to bend the litter louts. there is or a — they have to bend the litter louts. there is or a sue they have to bend the litter louts. there is ora sue niemi they have to bend the litter louts. there is or a sue niemi of rubbish. it's there is or a sue niemi of rubbish. it's very— there is or a sue niemi of rubbish. it's very dramatic wording. we talked — it's very dramatic wording. we talked about this earlier with the yorkshire — talked about this earlier with the yorkshire post, there's not a great deal. _ yorkshire post, there's not a great deal. but _ yorkshire post, there's not a great deal, but they are saying that the rule of— deal, but they are saying that the rule of six. — deal, but they are saying that the rule of six, we are allowed out, but we are _ rule of six, we are allowed out, but we are going — rule of six, we are allowed out, but we are going out and we are enjoying

because the psalm about the boss of this gambling website has earned, well, it's a lot of money. yeah, it's absolutely, thinking about corporate greed, it really does sort of strike that tone, so, yes, the boss of the website, as you said, has been said to have a payout of nearly half £1 billion in their salary and dividends from last year, and the figure that's given in the guardian is that this is £421 million or £48,000 every hour of every day throughout the 12 month period, which isjust sort every day throughout the 12 month period, which is just sort of, every day throughout the 12 month period, which isjust sort of, you can't really, i mean, you can almost not wrap your head around that. it's just a huge amount of money. in the company said it's all appropriate and fair, but i do think there are major questions to be asked about the gamble he industry. someone making this kind of money to me

really signals a serious problem and how are our economy is functioning that this could even happen. £48,000 eve hour that this could even happen. £48,000 every hour of— that this could even happen. £48,000 every hour of every — that this could even happen. £48,000 every hour of every day _ that this could even happen. £48,000 every hour of every day throughout - every hour of every day throughout the 12 month period. simon, your final thoughts on this? the the 12 month period. simon, your final thoughts on this?— final thoughts on this? the lady's name is denise, _ final thoughts on this? the lady's name is denise, and _ final thoughts on this? the lady's name is denise, and she - final thoughts on this? the lady's name is denise, and she set - final thoughts on this? the lady's name is denise, and she set up l final thoughts on this? the lady's| name is denise, and she set up at 365 _ name is denise, and she set up at 365 she — name is denise, and she set up at 365. she saw that online gambling had potential. she's very smart, and she has— had potential. she's very smart, and she has done very well, she has earned — she has done very well, she has earned lots of shares where she gets all this— earned lots of shares where she gets all this money. there are two thoughts _ all this money. there are two thoughts i have, i agree with maya, my two— thoughts i have, i agree with maya, my two quick thoughts are does this now skew— my two quick thoughts are does this now skew the gender pay gap, because one individual could really have a two or— one individual could really have a two or 3% — one individual could really have a two or 3% difference, which is not the point — two or 3% difference, which is not the point of— two or 3% difference, which is not the point of this, the other bit is when _ the point of this, the other bit is when you — the point of this, the other bit is when you have that much money, you don't _ when you have that much money, you don't need _ when you have that much money, you don't need that. so what is going to be her_ don't need that. so what is going to be her philanthropic work if she has earned _ be her philanthropic work if she has earned it. _ be her philanthropic work if she has earned it, she has got to start giving — earned it, she has got to start giving it— earned it, she has got to start giving it away. so i am interested to see _ giving it away. so i am interested to see what she is not going to do with but— to see what she is not going to do with but i— to see what she is not going to do with but i feel very awkward about

we change the wind direction, though, that northeastrly, like i mentioned, cool down the east coast. it will be a different feeling wind from the warm southerlys which we've had over the last few days. temperatures struggling to get above 7—9 celsius across the north sea coast. 16—20 celsius, though, in the southwest — that's where we will have the last of the warmth. but that warmth ebbs away through thursday night, and into friday morning, the cold air is with most of us, and we will actually see some frost, particularly for the far north of england and in toward scotland. low single digits for the rest of england and wales. our area of high pressure really builds in for friday. so there will be a lot of dry and settled weather, but it is chillier air blowing down on a north—north easterly wind, and again, that northeasterly wind will feed in more cloud to northern and eastern parts of the uk. so it will stay rather chilly and grey here. with more shelter to the south and the west, this is where we will see the best of the sunshine. so, temperatures into the afternoon could reach 12—13 celsius, 9—10 celsius closer to the east.
