Q & A
What is the issue with carers having to repay the government as reported by The Guardian?
-Tens of thousands of unpaid carers are being forced to repay the government after inadvertently breaking earnings rules. These carers, who look after disabled, frail, or ill relatives, have been threatened with criminal prosecution if they exceed the allowed earnings from part-time jobs while also receiving benefits.
What is the warning given by the Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron regarding US lawmakers?
-The Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron has warned that US lawmakers are risking security in the West by blocking a new package of support for Ukraine. This suggests that there may be political disagreements on how to handle the situation in Ukraine.
What is the controversy surrounding Angela Ray over her property dealings as mentioned in the Daily Mail?
-The controversy involves allegations that Angela Ray may have broken her pledge to uphold standards in public life by not paying capital gains tax on a property she owned. The Tory party chairman has accused her of this, and it is suggested that her unwillingness to address these claims is damaging to her reputation.
What is the issue with care homes as reported by the Daily Express and The Guardian?
-The Daily Express and The Guardian report on the crisis in care homes, with inadequate facilities and potential scandals related to minor errors leading to carers being taken to court. This highlights the underfunding and mismanagement of the care sector.
What is the legal advice received by the UK government regarding Gaza, and why is it staying secret?
-The UK government has received legal advice on the situation in Gaza, but the details are being kept secret. There have been leaks, and the Deputy Prime Minister has implied that the government may not need to release the advice. This has led to speculation and pressure for transparency, especially from opposition parties and some members of the ruling party.
What is the situation with the missing people in Gaza as reported by The Guardian?
-The Guardian reports that thousands of people have been reported missing to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Gaza. This is likely due to the ongoing conflict and destruction, with many bodies still under rubble. The actual death toll may be higher than the reported figures, which are already in the thousands.
What is the criticism of Hamas in relation to the situation in Gaza?
-Hamas is criticized for not protecting its own people and using them as shields. The group is also known for its extensive network of tunnels. The implication is that Hamas may be contributing to the high civilian casualties and the difficulty in recovering bodies and assessing the true extent of the damage in Gaza.
What is the significance of the UK's stance on the situation in Gaza and its potential impact on the general election?
-The UK's stance on the situation in Gaza, particularly the government's decision to keep the legal advice secret, could become a significant issue in the upcoming general election. If the position is maintained, it could lead to intense pressure and criticism, potentially affecting the government's reputation and electoral prospects.
What is the role of immigration in the care sector as discussed in the script?
-Immigration plays a crucial role in the care sector, with the script highlighting that the sector, both private and public, could not operate without immigrants. This is due to the aging population and the lack of young people willing to take up care roles, making immigration essential for providing the necessary care.
What is the positive news story featured in the script?
-The positive news story is about Russ Cook, who ran the length of Africa and despite facing challenges such as being robbed and kidnapped, managed to complete his journey and become the first person to do so. His achievement is celebrated as one that makes Brits proud.
What is the criticism towards the current Conservative Party in relation to public standards?
-The script criticizes the current Conservative Party for not upholding standards in public life, suggesting that they have been involved in scandals involving significant amounts of money. The criticism extends to previous Prime Ministers and highlights a perceived double standard in the party's focus on Angela Ray's alleged misconduct.

[Music]
hello there you're watching the Press
preview a first look at what's on the
front pages as they arrive in the next
half hour we'll see what's making the
headlines with the commentator and
author Paul conu and the Barrister and
former government Minister Anna subri so
let's take a quick look at what is on
some of those front pages while the
guardian reports that tens of thousands
of carers are having to repay the
government after unwittingly breaking
earnings rules on the front of the
telegraph is a warning from the foreign
secretary Lord Cameron that us lawmakers
are risking Security in the west by
blocking a new package of support for
Ukraine the Tory party chairman says
labor leader cier starmer's
unwillingness to probe claims against
Angela rer over her property dealings
were damning that's according to the
mail the Daily Express carries an
exclusive about inadequate facilities at
one in five Care Homes the sun says
people are being pressured into signing
up for potentially risky cosmetic
procedures in turkey at Medical Road
shows held in UK hotels which also
features on the front of the Daily
Mirror the Metro suggests that
sentencing criminals to do unpaid work
may not be an effective punishment as an
increasing number just aren't finishing
it the I reports that owners of new
built properties are being forced to
sign non-disclosure agreements in order
to see details of their estate charges
according to the financial times US
President Joe Biden is expected to
caution China against further aggressive
action in the South China Sea and the
Daily Star has a story about a dog that
it reckons has been telling porkys when
it comes to saying the word
sausages and a reminder that by scanning
the QR code you'll see on screen during
the program you can check out the
frontage pages of tomorrow's papers
while you watch
us and we are joined tonight by Paul
conu and Anna subri thank you so much
for being with us to go um over the
papers let's start with the guardian and
really let's start with a story that's
in lot of the papers Gaza but this is a
slightly different take here uh the
title is disappeared anguish in Gaza
over the missing thousands and it says
that literally thousands of people have
basically been well reported missing uh
to the icrc the international committee
for the Red Cross andna tell us a little
bit more about what the story is so this
starts with the story of one man ammed
Abu jalala um who went out one night in
March to find food for I think he has
six children and just simply didn't come
back and in in some ways I think it's
fair to say you because obviously we
have a look at this don't we Paul before
we come in in a way this is not
surprising I mean we know that the the
figures coming out from um the um the
health authorities in Gaza which we know
are controlled by Hamas and they put the
figures at 33,000 people 3,000 have died
in this terrible terrible conflict but
it just seems common sense that there
must be thousands more under all that
rubble and as you say the the
International Red Cross puted 7,000
calls that they've had I think the death
T must it is an extraordinary number
though 7,000 oh yeah but I reckon it's
must be higher and this morning Oliver D
the Deputy Prime Minister doing the
studio
rounds implied that perhaps the figure
of 33,000 was an exaggeration didn't
quite say but that was the Imp the
implication of his remarks but every
every Aid
organization you know and most
governments and the U the UN accept the
figure in fact it may you it may be
released by The Hammer's controlled
health authority but the figures of
33,000 are not really disputed but as as
saying saying you just you got to look
at the total Destruction in Gaza to know
that there have to be bodies there they
haven't got the equipment to go to go
and even re even dig up the bodies sad
you know it sounds horrific but so
they're probably thousands more and
again most of them probably women and
children rather rather than Hamas
terrorists I mean that is the brutal
chice and Hamas of course you must must
always be remembered that Hamas is the
sort of bunch of of terrorist thugs that
don't even protect their own people we
know they use them as Shield but they've
got they've got you know however many
hundreds of of miles or kilometers of
tunnels they try and protect the people
I suppose there is a possibility some of
these could be abductions as well I mean
we don't really know we don't yeah we
don't we don't know but because the
Press aren't allowed in course and they
haven't been for the six months exactly
not the Western press anyway let not
forget that about 100 journalists mainly
mainly obviously local journalists have
been killed along with along with almost
200 Aid workers these are these are Grim
stats let's take a look at another angle
to the Gaza story this time from page of
the times if you can pull it up and the
headline is UK's legal advice over Gaza
stays secret now the UK government has
received legal advice um we've had a few
leaks about it but the Deputy Prime
Minister like you mentioned Oliver dowen
who was doing the rounds uh saying
basically they don't really have to
relase it what do you make of all of
this I think if the headline a bit
longer in the times it could have been
UK's legal advice Gaza stay secret dot
dot dot for now I don't I don't think
this is a sustainable position long term
of course Parliament is in recess back
next Monday There's going to be intense
pressure including I think strong
pressure from from the opposition
parties and even some Tory MPS for David
Cameron to come to the commons even
though is been Lord of course but you
know and and phas questions on this
although you get the impression that
David Cameron probably privately does
believe that we've broken international
law there are hints of hints of that
even though Oliver doubt and says we're
going to continue our arms sales I but I
think that could turn this into a
general election issue if that position
is
maintained and you know six months after
October 7th today I mean the phrase
turning point is so overused but do you
sense that there is a turning point both
in the British government in general in
in the western attitude to oh I think I
think the killing of those Aid workers
last week did Mark a big turning point
and I think I think just in just the way
oneself sees it you it's an
extraordinary situation that Israel has
got itself into the Terribles atrocities
on October the 7th with with with
hundreds of people being thousands th
over thousand people being killed with
hostages being taken all the horrors of
it and yet somehow Israel this great
this great nation in my opinion has
completely lost the moral High ground
and it has got itself into the most
desperate Dreadful situation never mind
what it's doing to the Palestinians and
and and I just feel I mean I don't know
David Cameron very well I served when he
was prime minister in his governments
and I I remain a supporter of David
Cameron a lot of time for him this will
sit very heavily and my opinion on him
and I think he'd relished the
opportunity to come to the house of I
mean I'm I'm not Jewish but I have a lot
of Jewish friends who are torn over this
and I know friends who have marched both
against anti-Semitism and in support of
the GS of victims it's not and I'm a
great supporter of Israel but not of the
Netanyahu regime which I think of isra
aren't either if we look at it's it's
vital that we don't actually make
opposing the Israeli of Netanyahu and
anti-Semitism they they are not the same
thing they are distinct issue
differences absolutely um uh two stories
I want to look at quickly Daily Express
and guardian sort of Link Daily Express
uh headline exposed Care Home crisis
putting Britain uh to shame and then in
the guardian car is taken to court over
heart rending minor issues uh Anna can
you the Daily Express one doesn't have
much detail but frankly it's not a
surprise is it that our Care Homes are
in crisis we know that we know that
they're severely underfunded and we know
that governments of all colors have
failed to address this and whoever gets
elected in the next election has got to
do something about it but if I may say I
thought the story in the guardian was
was the minor errors she wh this is a
terrible story I mean that has the
makings potentially of a sort of another
post office type Scandal especially
where it seems once again the computer
is God what is the actual story what are
these errors there erors tens of
thousands according to the guardian tens
of thousands of unpaid carers looking
after disabled frail or you know or ill
relatives so being forced to repay huge
sums to the government and threatened
with criminal prosecution even possible
you know into prison if they exceed by a
few pounds the rules over how much they
can earn when if they do a part-time job
as well as being a career and they could
have made a mistake and then it's
retrospective because they Accord they
could innocent mistake but the computer
it seems the computer making a mistake
and yet sums of up to 20,000 are being
some the mistakes were just a few pounds
yes exactly and the point that Ed Davey
makes because he's quoted in this he is
about the value of unpaid carers I mean
they are remarkable people frankly
they're saving us thousands 10 more
millions in fact in fact billions
According to some to some stats if if if
the this wasn't there because in a sense
privatization hasn't worked in the care
in the care in the care sector we saw
that we saw that obviously through the
whole covid crisis but on but on top of
that though those arguing you know the
hard line against against
immigration there's no way the care SE
sector whether it's private or in the
public domain could actually operate
without immigrants and that's a brutal
fact we are aging population and it's
not a job that a lot a lot of young
people are going to volunteer for I you
like it or not that's the fact I mean my
I share your views obviously on the
value of immigration but I think the the
other thing in this is it coming back to
this point about it being in the
computer is that it seems to be that
that that the DWP Department of work and
pensions it's a it system flag it says
here in the guardian flags up when a car
is income um breaches the threshold but
fails in many cases to act on the
information allowing carers to rack up
thousands of pounds of overpayments over
months before in some cases they've been
pursued by the in front of the Courts
for
benefit an we're going to have to leave
it there for now but coming up are
questions over Angela rainer's previous
housing Arrangements threatening to
damage cier starmer we'll discuss that
next
[Music]
you're watching the Press preview with
me in the studio Paul cono and Anna
subri okay let's go straight to the
Daily Mail uh from page headline rers
making a fool of you k uh so K St Angela
rer accused of breaking their pledge to
uphold standards in public life Accused
by the Tory party chairman Anna
yes so who has not held up the standards
of public life more than anybody in
recent living history has to be said in
my humble opinion it would be a large
part of the current conservative party
in a number of previous Prime Ministers
however all the attention is on vanela
Raa who as I understand it wasn't even
an MP when this happened so she gets
married to somebody and she has a house
and he has a house and then they have
two children and she's she says she's
basically flitting between the two homes
for whatever reason and one of these the
home she owns is a council house and so
she SS her her home and has to pay
capital gains tax but she doesn't
because she claims it as her main
residence as I can see it and she
benefits the tune of just over ,000 and
then the Tories are going my old party
ballistic about this as if it's some
heus crime of the century and it's a
full F you know failing of public
standards remarkably forgetting quite a
few scandals of Their Own involving an
awful lot more money recently some bloke
who obviously struck me as sounding like
a racist who they took 15 million from
and haven't given it back and a nobl
another donor who gave them5 million in
in in an unusually timed uh honors list
you know I
mean let's assume even if if Angela Rena
is guilty of this alleged offense if I I
stress and
,000 as anah was saying compared to to a
dodgy 20 million don't it with for Jo
and J public this is a minor issue oh
she does she me and we've got to take
her on a face value because she has
called out people in the past and there
is it's a genuine question of her to say
you've called out people in the past now
you show us and I think at the moment
she's actually refusing to disclose I
don't think is a great look no I think I
think that is a flaw and I think K
starma it could be embarrass if it it
could come back to bite him to a certain
extent but but in the but there are
those on the Tory the Tory party and the
daily male who turn it you know who
followed up the medal and Sunday
Splash it is basically a campaign this
is part I think of what we're going to
see perhaps the most vicious dirty
general election in you know in living
memory now I think I think this one
doesn't to the public it doesn't really
resonate they're not going to sort of
see this as the crime of the of the of
the century let's send a paper review on
a good news story on a lot of papers
there we go this is Russ Cook who's run
the length of Africa and at the end of
it he said I'm a bit tired In fairness
he said it was good but I'm a bit tired
now he's amazing isn't he he is amazing
and and and during the course of this
fantastic achievement he actually got
Rob they got everything robbed from them
was it in the
con they got robbed somewhere else and
then he got kidnapped kidna kidnapped in
so they lost but he kept on going and
he's done it and he's the first to do it
and he's an absolute start 15 seconds I
think the Metro deserve in fact the
prize for the best headline on this one
run of a Kind yeah as he as he salutes
the camera a Brit to be proud on yeah he
is
