hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster matthew stadlen and aletha adu, the political correspondent at the daily mirror. good evening to you both. a quick look through the front pages with our guests... the observer leads with allegations from the labour party that the conservative mp neil parish may have broken the law by watching pornography in the house of commons. he's admitted viewing the material and is resigning as an mp. also covering that story, the sunday telegraph says the conservatives are vowing to make sure half of their mps at the next general election will be women, in response to concerns about "sleaze" in parliament.

the sunday times has calls from the commons speaker and other mps to clean up parliament's reputation. the paper quotes proposals from sir lindsay hoyle and dame andrea leadsom to overhaul working practices, amid allegations of sexual misconduct and bullying. elsewhere, the express claims britain's security services are on high alert overfears that russian saboteurs may target the uk. and the sunday mirror has an exclusive interview with a woman who says she had a secret child with the man who killed milly dowler. the paper says levi bellfield fathered the child weeks before he murdered the teenager. a quick look and flavour of the front pages. so let's begin. matthew and aletha, lovely to have you with us this evening aletha, you

will care because of this evening. the observer is our first paper and the headline at the disgraced mp broke the law. what have you learned? it broke the law. what have you learned? . , , ., ., learned? it has been another extraordinary _ learned? it has been another extraordinary week. - learned? it has been another extraordinary week. on - learned? it has been another i extraordinary week. on tuesday learned? it has been another - extraordinary week. on tuesday we heard tory mps gathering for the 2022 committee meeting, a group of female women trying to highlight the extent of misogyny and sexism they faced in their workplace, which is the house of commons. that meeting erupted and we heard of two tory mps, including one minister highlighting that they heard of an mp who was watching pornography in the commons, and we now know that man is neil parish. he today had a remarkable interview with the bbc, coming close to tears claiming he only watched pornography in the commons once on purpose and on another occasion, it was accidental because he was looking for tractors.

it is crazy to think this could be happening in any other workplace where the mp in question or the person in question is able to go on live television, in this case a gb news, after the allegations were broken by my colleague, and he essentially said the mp who was responsible for committing this crime would have to have the whip removed, in other words, would have to be suspended. he then went on to say in that interview with gb news that there was no problem culturing parliament of sexism and misogyny, instead he said it was just a tense atmosphere because there were 650 mps. atmosphere because there were 650 mp5. it atmosphere because there were 650 mps. it is a crazy time for women in politics, a crazy time for female staffers, mps and journalists, feeling very uncomfortable in their workplace and feeling as though, evenif workplace and feeling as though, even if they were to make complaints about allegations they have had things they have gone through, they feel as though the system is not good enough because mps like neil

parish are able to simply go on about their day. we heard from labour, questioning why it had taken the conservative party days to come to this conclusion to remove the whip from mr parish, and i think they have major questions to answer. yes, matthew, looking at the detail of this law, and income i didn't know about it and it is part of the indecent displays, control act of 1981. this claim is made byjess phillips and basically, interesting point, i think, phillips and basically, interesting point, ithink, is it phillips and basically, interesting point, i think, is it will help to raise greater awareness, particularly for women. yes, i think that is a really _ particularly for women. yes, i think that is a really important _ particularly for women. yes, i think that is a really important point - that is a really important point because — that is a really important point because i_ that is a really important point because i have been a lot ofjokes, unfortunately, twitter, social media today— unfortunately, twitter, social media today about neil parish in that line. _ today about neil parish in that line, looking for tractors, today about neil parish in that line, looking fortractors, but today about neil parish in that line, looking for tractors, but this is actually— line, looking for tractors, but this is actually a — line, looking for tractors, but this is actually a very serious issue, of course _ is actually a very serious issue, of course. pornography is a problem miiiions— course. pornography is a problem millions of— course. pornography is a problem millions of men in this country will have _

ministers, they have really big roles in parliament, so to be going around after you have made a complaint and knowing that this person, who essentially holds the cards to the rest of your career, essentially, is quite threatening, and that must be changed based on matthew highlighting the fact that sexism definitely is rife around parliament and we still have major strides to go through. just parliament and we still have ma'or strides to go throughi strides to go through. just to clari , strides to go through. just to clarify. you _ strides to go through. just to clarify, you said _ strides to go through. just to clarify, you said you - strides to go through. just to clarify, you said you have - strides to go through. just to i clarify, you said you have been hearing from various sources. are you referring to what lindsay hoyle is writing about in another paper? as the independent complaints and grievance kim?— as the independent complaints and grievance kim? yes. —— independent complaints and grievance scheme. we will turn to the sunday telegraph, matthew andy brought up the subject of more women in parliament and the tories are saying they are —— that is one of the aims. yes, oliver dowden is the chairman of the _ yes, oliver dowden is the chairman of the conservative party and he was one of— of the conservative party and he was one of two. — of the conservative party and he was one of two, three or four tory mps who appeared in front of backbench

hearing some shocking reports. i spoke to a senior tory minister earlier this week after vladimir putin made more threats of trying to hit the nuclear button. the consensus seems to be that we should not be listening to these threats, we need to continue doing our best to support the ukrainian president and the ukrainian people, who have done very well in terms of defending themselves against russian troops, but also to note that russia are not doing as good as they had hoped. so, hearing from melinda simmons on her way back from kyiv is quite a good story in the observer. matthew, the sunday express, russia basically setting their sights away from ukraine, away from their bodies and targeting britain. this from ukraine, away from their bodies and targeting britain.— and targeting britain. this is the security services _ and targeting britain. this is the security services warning - and targeting britain. this is the security services warning top - security services warning top politicians, including borisjohnson politicians, including boris johnson that politicians, including borisjohnson that russia may be sending saboteurs, literally to our shores in order—

how the row escalates and whether network rail may simply bow to pressure and essentially try and make some positive change towards their contracts going forward. aletha adu and matthew stadlen, thank you. at that by, didn't it? it all because when you're having fun is up for now, thank you very much forjoining us. we will be back at 11:30pm. click is coming up and i will be back with all the latest news stories at the top of the error.

solar power is the earth's most abundant energy source. and today, that goes far beyond simply plonking panels on rooftops. we keep seeing scientists develop new ways to make the technology more flexible, more powerful and more useful. this factory in stockholm is making ultra—thin solar cells that don't even need sunlight to harvest energy. the idea is that they can be used outside or inside your home to power products. i will be showing you later on what that means for various devices. but first, here's dan simmons, who's been looking at how solar could help the energy price crisis. although most of us like the idea of clean energy, so far, we've not been persuaded. maybe it's because we don't own our own roof. or it's the upfront costs. maybe we're thinking of moving and feel we can't take
