a movie villain. We look at the kit that will send these not so curious

:00:00.3:59:59

signals to your TV. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:00:00.:00:24.

to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are

:00:25.:00:27.

Craig Woodhouse, who's Political Correspondent at the the sun, and

:00:28.:00:30.

the Mirror's Deputy Political Editor James Lyons. Here are tomorrow's

:00:31.:00:32.

front pages. The Guardian leads with the release

:00:33.:00:35.

of Gerry Adams from police custody tonight. The paper says the Sinn

:00:36.:00:38.

Fein president insisted his party still backs the police. The

:00:39.:00:41.

Telegraph is dominated by a picture of Mr Adams at his news conference

:00:42.:00:45.

this evening. The paper's other main story is news that there's been a

:00:46.:00:48.

large rise in the number of housing estates being pushed by planners in

:00:49.:00:52.

England. A warning by the fertility expert

:00:53.:00:55.

Professor Robert Winston is the Mail's top story. He tells the paper

:00:56.:01:02.

breakthroughs in IVF could see rich parents paying for brighter

:01:03.:01:04.

children. The Express leads with a claim by

:01:05.:01:07.

financial experts that pensions will be boosted by a 15`year boom in

:01:08.:01:12.

stocks and shares. And the sun leads with allegations

:01:13.:01:16.

that two pupils at a school in the Midlands tried to poison their

:01:17.:01:23.

teacher. Let us begin with what has been happening in Northern Ireland

:01:24.:01:27.

with the release of the Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams without charge

:01:28.:01:30.

after four days in police custody in Antrim. We'll stop with the Daily

:01:31.:01:37.

Telegraph. There is that picture of him with Martin McGuinness, a man

:01:38.:01:41.

who has used probably more intemperate language during the

:01:42.:01:46.

week. I suppose that is what everyone was looking for in this

:01:47.:01:49.

press conference, the tone that Gerry Adams wanted to strike after

:01:50.:01:56.

clear and and discussed, as Sinn Fein described it, that he had been

:01:57.:02:04.

held for this long. Also be Deputy First Minister in Northern Ireland

:02:05.:02:11.

talks about Sinn Fein bullying the police service. Tensions are

:02:12.:02:16.

extremely high. There was some ugly scenes outside the police patient

:02:17.:02:19.

when Gerry Adams was released. In fact, they took him out the back

:02:20.:02:25.

while there were the coin land Rovers at the front. Some would say

:02:26.:02:31.

his press conference was almost statement like. He said he did not

:02:32.:02:35.

like the food and he did make reference to be dark side of the

:02:36.:02:40.

British state which he blamed for his arrest. He said he has been

:02:41.:02:45.

volunteering to talk to the police for months and then this comes out

:02:46.:02:49.

of the blue as an election campaign is hotting up. He also went out of

:02:50.:02:54.

his way to talk about the past being in the past and the IRA has gone

:02:55.:03:00.

now. He said that the old guard, whether they were Republican or

:03:01.:03:07.

Loyalist had no place in the current Northern Ireland after being peace

:03:08.:03:15.

process. That is what everyone here in Ireland was waiting to hear.

:03:16.:03:20.

Tensions have been rising all week really and it could have gone

:03:21.:03:25.

completely the other way had he come out and taken the opposite tone. The

:03:26.:03:32.

fear was we could have gone back to the dark days of the 1970s and 80s.

:03:33.:03:38.

It is not totally over. The family say they will take civil action. The

:03:39.:03:43.

police have handed the release file to the prosecutors, so charges could

:03:44.:03:49.

be brought. In terms of the immediate threat to peace in

:03:50.:03:52.

Northern Ireland, that seems to have been dampened down. The head of

:03:53.:03:58.

public prosecutions in Northern Ireland has had to step away from

:03:59.:04:01.

the case because he acted for Gerry Adams in the past. The world is very

:04:02.:04:09.

small. It is right that tonight people will be breathing a sigh of

:04:10.:04:13.

relief about the things Gerry Adams said, but there is more trouble down

:04:14.:04:20.

the track. We heard from Peter Hain, the former Secretary of State

:04:21.:04:22.

for Northern Ireland. He said he does not know whether this is going

:04:23.:04:27.

and the soldiers involved in bloody Sunday will have to be arrested and

:04:28.:04:37.

questioned by police. In some respects you do have two treat the

:04:38.:04:49.

past differently. The Guardian says we still back police, says freed

:04:50.:04:55.

Adams. There are tensions simmering under the surface all the time and

:04:56.:04:59.

it is so very easy to cut through that veneer. For all Gerry Adams

:05:00.:05:05.

saying the past is the past, it is not for the family. It is still

:05:06.:05:11.

there and running sore. Bloody Sunday is still a running sore. We

:05:12.:05:17.

have managed to compartmentalised the past were certain extent, but it

:05:18.:05:24.

is still there. Let us move back to the Telegraph and look at the issue

:05:25.:05:29.

of school holidays. As we know the summer holidays aren't far away.

:05:30.:05:32.

People are trying to book a holiday and finding that it is shockingly

:05:33.:05:40.

expensive and David Cameron is sympathising. James, let me explain

:05:41.:05:45.

the story before you wade in. Travel companies are deliberately putting

:05:46.:05:47.

up prices during the school holidays. Isn't it odd that a

:05:48.:05:51.

conservative is complaining about the free`market, supply and demand?

:05:52.:05:59.

It certainly is. He is not actually complaining about it, he says he is

:06:00.:06:05.

best rated. He says the way to solve this is more competition, spread the

:06:06.:06:09.

holidays out, get more people flying with different families. But he says

:06:10.:06:13.

travel companies are deliberately putting on the prices which is what

:06:14.:06:18.

happens with supply and demand. Isn't it just the way the market

:06:19.:06:24.

works? Absolutely. If there was more competition, it would be fine. I

:06:25.:06:32.

think James's issue is this is a sky that does not need to complain. Mr

:06:33.:06:38.

and Mrs Cameron take home the best part of ?400,000 a year, forget

:06:39.:06:48.

about their inherited wealth. Maybe we're going to see Ed Miliband

:06:49.:06:57.

freezing holiday prices. This is cost of living crisis territory for

:06:58.:07:01.

him. It is one of the few things he has not waded in on. He'll be saying

:07:02.:07:06.

that airlines should be forced to bring down the prices during the

:07:07.:07:13.

holidays and those of us who don't have children should not be

:07:14.:07:17.

subsidising those who do. Surely what David Cameron is saying is,

:07:18.:07:29.

well, people will grow with him `` people will agree with him. I agree

:07:30.:07:37.

with him. Holiday companies need to bring the prices down. He's talking

:07:38.:07:43.

about sharing the frustration with parent struggling to take their

:07:44.:07:48.

children abroad does not quite ring true. He did go to Cornwall for his

:07:49.:07:56.

holiday, but then he went on a luxury break on a flotilla of boats.

:07:57.:08:03.

These things don't boil away inside me like they mislead dude to you.

:08:04.:08:08.

James has lots of these stories. The idea that schools can now decide

:08:09.:08:13.

when they have their holidays and to stagger the school holidays, partly

:08:14.:08:17.

to help children because there is that six, seven`week period where

:08:18.:08:27.

children don't learn anything. It is compensated situation. What do the

:08:28.:08:32.

talking about? Is he saying Leicestershire goes on these weeks,

:08:33.:08:38.

Cornwall on others. Is he talking about mixing counties. A lot of

:08:39.:08:43.

schools now share services. I for one would really like to see the

:08:44.:08:47.

long summer holiday go because I don't think it is very good for

:08:48.:08:51.

children. It is tied to the agricultural calendar which was

:08:52.:08:56.

important when I was growing up, but probably not now. Did you have to

:08:57.:09:04.

bring the Hain? I certainly did. It is not great for children spending

:09:05.:09:10.

six weeks at home, not doing very much. I think a change would be

:09:11.:09:20.

good. That's fine in summer, but you can't move Christmas and Easter. The

:09:21.:09:23.

same thing will happen over those weeks. Not many people go away for

:09:24.:09:30.

Christmas and Easter. Most people sit at home and eat chocolate. Maybe

:09:31.:09:41.

I am missing a trick. Now, fertility gurus are warning time will come

:09:42.:09:47.

when the will be able to alter the appearance and ability of their

:09:48.:09:50.

children by tinkering with their genes. The rich could pay to have

:09:51.:09:57.

brighter babies. This is a worry. This man really knows what he is

:09:58.:10:04.

talking about. I did see this story and do a double`take, but when you

:10:05.:10:09.

see Winston's name, you do take it seriously. I don't know how he comes

:10:10.:10:15.

up with these things. Enhanced intelligence, musical ability and

:10:16.:10:19.

strength. I do know if you can get all of those in one child, or you

:10:20.:10:27.

can pick and choose. But we do have ethics board that determine how IVF

:10:28.:10:33.

is used, don't we? Yes, I'm not sure how they would oversee this and

:10:34.:10:37.

don't understand it. It seems like scaremongering, that you are going

:10:38.:10:41.

to have super elite families that only want a child that is 40%

:10:42.:10:48.

stronger than their current child. Really? ! Are people going to do

:10:49.:10:54.

this, or are they going to have children in the way we have had

:10:55.:10:59.

children for thousands of years. You get what you get and you love them

:11:00.:11:04.

anyway. It is part of the lottery of life. The Daily Express and

:11:05.:11:10.

pensions. I am a bit puzzled by what is happening with pensions. Millions

:11:11.:11:18.

set for pensions windfall. The Daily Express and other papers seem to be

:11:19.:11:21.

changing their minds about this, about how healthy people's pension

:11:22.:11:26.

pots are going to be. It depends on when in the future you dip into

:11:27.:11:33.

those pots. This is addicting a 15 year boom in stocks and shares. I

:11:34.:11:36.

don't know quite how they have looked into their crystal ball and

:11:37.:11:40.

addicted that. It sounds like Gordon Brown's statement that he would

:11:41.:11:48.

abolish boom and bust. Eight Tory boom and bust, remember that, it is

:11:49.:11:55.

important. Stocks and shares soar away for 15 years, that is great

:11:56.:11:59.

news for everyone, until the next bust. So your advice is to retire in

:12:00.:12:15.

14 years' time? Put it all read and out in 14 years' time? Absolutely

:12:16.:12:23.

right. Is this wishful thinking? They do say that we should look at

:12:24.:12:32.

spots and shares for the long`term. Well if this is their prediction, I

:12:33.:12:35.

would like to read their racing tips. There are a lot of unknown

:12:36.:12:40.

variables at the moment. From next year, most people will get their

:12:41.:12:43.

hands on their pension pot for the first time and spend it as they

:12:44.:12:49.

want. But if you have saved the money in the first place, you might

:12:50.:12:56.

not do that. You could plough it into the stock market. You will

:12:57.:13:02.

probably see people putting their money into property. A lot of people

:13:03.:13:10.

will get their pension pot and think, I want an income and the best

:13:11.:13:16.

way to do it is property. There is a new housing boom sweeping the

:13:17.:13:19.

country. We'll talk about that later. Craig and James will be back

:13:20.:13:29.

with us at 11:30pm. Do stay with us because we will have more on what

:13:30.:13:34.

Gerry Adams had to say after being released from police custody. Time
