mail. it describes the incident as a real disaster. the daily mirror has also chosen what it describes as a race since lead story. lady susan hussey is prince william's godmother. that row also features prominently on the front page of tomorrow's guardian, which leads on an research by the paper which suggests much of england's water firms are owned by companies lodged in foreign tax havens. tomorrow's daily telegraph leads on the disruption caused by strike action —— it says there will be strikes on every day until christmas. the financial times leads on pressure from the eu and us on elon musk�*s ownership of twitter —— the paper says brussels is insisting on strict moderation rules for the social media site. and on the front page of the daily star —— the curse of itv —— the tabloid says that england win more world cup games when they're screened here on the bbc.
11:33 pm
dangerous territory at that sort of story. let us begin with the daily mirror. prince william's godmother quits in a race row. this is because at a buckingham palace event the head of a charity, a black woman by the name of ngozi fulani was asked over and over again about where she was from. over and over again about where she was from- '-— was from.

remained a royal aide and he is 83, so she is than thatjob a long time with the daily mel to how long she served the royal family, with the daily mel to how long she served the royalfamily, but with the daily mel to how long she served the royal family, but yes just kept this passion in a way that, frankly is racist and offensive. in the way that she did it just offensive. in the way that she did itjust made this woman feel incredibly uncomfortable which is why she spoke out about it and it is a real shame because this was a brilliant event about something that the new queen camilla cares deeply about witches combating violence against women in all of these wonderful charities that do really work in the space is space that deserves more funding than it gets, important work. and this is in the take away from it, this awful row, fullyjustified, i can completely understand what they spoke out about it. . . . , ., , understand what they spoke out about it. unacceptable. it has never been ha--ened it. unacceptable. it has never been happened to _ it. unacceptable. it has never been happened to me — it. unacceptable. it has never been happened to me never— it. unacceptable. it has never been happened to me never been - it. unacceptable. it has never been happened to me never been asked | happened to me never been asked where i was from over and over, as a white woman, but that discomfort that you face when someone will not

degree that sparked a real disaster and a picture of ngozi fulani on the left and susan hussey on the right. in the paper makes the point that she had served loyally for six years and it all came to an end in five hours and there are people saying, i know this woman, i know that she would not have meant any offence at all. she would have been absolutely distraught that she has caused any offence. what some of the do have? i don't really have much sympathy because — don't really have much sympathy because what she said was uncomfortable. and hopefully she can come away— uncomfortable. and hopefully she can come away and learn from what has happened _ come away and learn from what has happened that that is the best that we can— happened that that is the best that we can help from the situation. she has apologised, stepped aside, a learning — has apologised, stepped aside, a learning experience there, she is 85 and comes— learning experience there, she is 85 and comes from a different generation. that is not an excuse at all, generation. that is not an excuse at all. but _ generation. that is not an excuse at all. but that— generation. that is not an excuse at all, but that might be why it has happened and hopefully she can come away from _ happened and hopefully she can come away from that and step out of the limelight— away from that and step out of the limelight and hope maybe be able to have a _ limelight and hope maybe be able to

[it would excepted there as well who knows? would seem excepted there as well who knows? it would seem though, certain members of the royalfamily, william, charles have already spoken out and set it is an example. because of course william and kate are on a tour of america at the moment. this is a disaster— tour of america at the moment. this is a disaster for _ tour of america at the moment. t'i 3 is a disaster for them that their tour has started with this, completelyjustified outrage at these comments, obviously this woman is prince william's godmother. from a pr point of view this is really back to the royal family obviously. and i think there is a broader thing about britain, we think the world family and their aides will embody
11:38 pm
etiquette and we think etiquette there is a view that that is still a good thing. and i think there is a conscious between etiquette and manners. etiquette is all about preserving barriers, are you using the right spoon, right. actually it makes you feel uncomfortable and they care about the wrong things. manners are all about making people feel comfortable and this is a really good example where someone should theoretically uphold all of those values but actually does not because she has done the worst thing which is, someone should be welcoming and congratulating them on their hard work that they do but made her feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. and for the worst possible reason as well. so i think there is a broader thing here that when you think what we value as a country, really and we should be clearly valuing the great work of these charities and really thinking about how we have those conversations and certainly never, it is the worst thing to make someone feel uncomfortable and
11:39 pm
unwelcome and should be celebrating meant as a whole point of that event was. , ., meant as a whole point of that event was. ., ., , ., was. some relocations going to buckingham — was. some relocations going to buckingham palace _ was. some relocations going to buckingham palace is _ was. some relocations going to buckingham palace is quite - was. some relocations going to buckingham palace is quite an l buckingham palace is quite an intimidating thing anyway. a final thought, there are, it has been suggested that rather than lady susan hussey stepped down she should step up and learn from this, not resign, do things differently do you think that is a solution, ngozi fulani may have a clearer view on it then we need to have really. absolutely into my think actually if they have a conversation, but also why are people being made to stay royal aides when they are 83. maybe she wants to — royal aides when they are 83. maybe she wants to be. _ royal aides when they are 83. maybe she wants to be. possibly _ royal aides when they are 83. maybe she wants to be. possibly an - royal aides when they are 83. maybe she wants to be. possibly an it - royal aides when they are 83. maybe she wants to be. possibly an it is - she wants to be. possibly an it is aid is in she wants to be. possibly an it is paid is in it? _ she wants to be. possibly an it is paid is in it? but _ she wants to be. possibly an it is paid is in it? but there _ she wants to be. possibly an it is paid is in it? but there was - she wants to be. possibly an it is paid is in it? but there was talk | paid is in it? but there was talk that one of the people who were supposed to welcome megan markel into the family and i actually consulted our royal editor and she said it was never quite known if that actually happen but there have been a conversation around that, but you think that just been a conversation around that, but
11:40 pm
you think thatjust creates a big problem. no wonder megan markel brought all of these issues up if this was someone, if that had happened, that was was to be welcoming her, and i think there is a big problem there isn't there. so of course we should all be willing to change and to listen and learn from mistakes that we all make, but i think it is really someone of the royalfamily should be keeping at events after this, no i don't think they should. let's move on to the times. heart attack patients waiting more than an hour for attack patients waiting more than an hourfor an ambulance. a postcode lottery since the times. of course we are facing strikes, potentially by ambulance staff amongst other care workers. in the coming weeks. this is a really wearing story, yet again— this is a really wearing story, yet again i_ this is a really wearing story, yet again i read — this is a really wearing story, yet again i read this and thought oh my god, _ again i read this and thought oh my god, what kind of the state is the nhs and — god, what kind of the state is the nhs and at the moment. so the times is saying _

11:43 pm
but what have they actually committed to? when we are facing this and norman scott crisis and this and norman scott crisis and this is one tiny bit of it. a shocking bit —— enormous. this is one tiny bit of it. a shocking bit -- enormous. turn up heat on musk _ shocking bit -- enormous. turn up heat on musk over— shocking bit -- enormous. turn up heat on musk over twitter. - shocking bit -- enormous. turn up heat on musk over twitter. janet l heat on musk over twitter. janet yellen is the treasury secretary in the us and she's looking at the way that he purchased it is not right. to do with bits that are owned by foreign investment vehicles but also he has this massive headache in europe where the eu which has this new digital services act which is a new digital services act which is a new law, i think it is like the most comprehensive lot in the world in terms of standard that big tech have to moderate content, please content on their sites. and that will be a
11:44 pm
massive headache because, i have noticed this myself in using twitter, and the days that he is owned it the sort of site has become, he has turned it into a haven of free speech as it is described. but it has become a toxic max and obviously appetisers have reacted to that by deciding that they will not advertise on the platform any more because there content and setbacks to misogynistic or hateful confident, they don't want their adverts next to that. it is terrible for them. so this is turning into a mammoth headache for elon musk, but i think it is quite good that the eu and the us are stepping up at the same time in saying that what he has done is not acceptable. and there needs to be change, dramatic change. it acceptable. and there needs to be change, dramatic change.- change, dramatic change. it has alwa s change, dramatic change. it has always felt _ change, dramatic change. it has always felt like _ change, dramatic change. it has always felt like a _ change, dramatic change. it has always felt like a bit _ change, dramatic change. it has always felt like a bit of - change, dramatic change. it has always felt like a bit of a - change, dramatic change. it has always felt like a bit of a cesspit i do know about you, maybe it is the algorithms that they have given to
