that has now claimed 300 lives. Executives from the company are | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
among those being questioned. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. | :00:20. | :00:28. | |
With me are James Ramsden. Welcome to both of you. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
The Daily Telegraph leads with a report suggesting the Governor of | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
the Bank of England ` Mark Carney is prepared to cap mortgages as the | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
average home goes up ten`thousand pounds in a month. | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
The Daily Express leads on the same story adding that tough new rules | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
will be put on mortgages to control soaring prices. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
The Metro also leads with Mark Carney's warning build more houses | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
or risk financial meltdown. It's a theme followed by The Times | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
newspaper, which says the help to buy scheme is a threat to the | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
economy's recovery. The Guardian leads with plans from | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
Labour leader Ed Miliband to tackle low pay suggesting a future Labour | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
government will link minimum pay to earnings. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
The Independent also leads with Ed Miliband's plans to increase the | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
minimum wage and it also shows the rogue trader who's due to surrender | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
to the French authorities to start a three`year jail term. | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
The Daily Mail kicks off with the police hunt for two prisoners who | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
failed to return after being let out on day release. | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
And the Mirror reports on government cuts which they say have targeted | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
lollipop ladies putting children's lives at risk on busy roads. So | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
let's begin. The Levant target minimum wage for | :01:41. | :01:51. | |
maximum gain. Tell us more. So, this is Ed Miliband trying to give Labour | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
an edge at the time when there is fear that Labour is lagging behind | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
the Conservatives. All numbers are showing that the first time in two | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
years, they are behind the Tories. He is saying that they will peg the | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
minimum wage with earnings was up however, the Conservatives are | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
already saying that this is interventionist and could actually | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
be disastrous for the economy. They are not actually putting a figure, | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
so we do not know what the minimum wage would be. It is due to rise to | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
?6 50 in October. But we don't know what it would mean. It will depend | :02:27. | :02:36. | |
on the actual sector so it could actually very, for example between | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
retail and the public sector. I am not sure how people would respond to | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
that. I was quite struck by that when I glanced at this weekly. That | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
is potentially tricky territory. Is. People may well be jealous of other | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
professions thinking, I could go into catering and earn a bit more. | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
Or move over into another sector and be better off. The very negative | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
poll ratings recently for Labour, I think it has been a bad time for | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
Labour. They got a lot of criticism for what I thought was a terrible | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
political ad where they showed Nick Clegg as the incredible shooting | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
man. Extremely negative. The word Labour was only mentioned for a | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
second. David Axelrod, the election of Obama who has come over to boost | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
Ed Miliband's performance, particularly his television | :03:36. | :03:36. | |
performance which is perceived as weak, they are also facing the | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
prospect of being wiped out potentially by UKIP this week. In | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
the elections on Thursday. So, not a bad idea to bring this up now. This | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
will play very well with hard`line Labour supporters. It does smack of | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
desperation because of the negative polls. And the port about `` point | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
about heartland supporters is interesting. The problem is, | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
especially with the local elections on Thursday, they are not even sure | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
of a heartland supporters. They will have to go beyond that. This is an | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
issue that is something that Labour can do to get itself from other | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
parties. There has been a lot of criticism Labour that we do not know | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
what you stand for, other than being the opposition. If they actually | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
laid out a plan that is convincing, they could say, this is the | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
beginning of the economy. Does it play into the cost of living | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
campaign? It does a bit but I think the danger with that, it looks all | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
played out now but also, it is the economy issue. If you harp on about | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
the economy, it is now recovering and that plays into the Tory hands. | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
George Osborne is sitting pretty saying, look at the recovery that I | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
have orchestrated. I'll die billiards? And people will find it | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
hard to contradict because the figures seem to back him up. So, | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
Labour will tread with great caution in the area of economics because | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
that seems to be to the advantage of the Tories. Having said that, | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
Labour's whole campaign is that while the biggest is the economy is | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
better, people 's lives are better. We haven't really increased, rather | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
they have decreased by about 5% since 2010. If they can play on | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
those figures off, are you feeling a difference in your pocket? Most | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
people would say no. Let's move to the Telegraph. Let's start with the | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
main story. Banks be as house prices hit record high. This features on a | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
number of newspapers. This is an extraordinary figure. It is actually | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
the highest ever jump on record, an average of nearly ?10,000, on the | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
value of houses which is absolutely unbelievable. In Tower Hamlets, one | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
of the poorest part of London, they have gone up 43%, the value of | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
houses. Incredible. Mark Carney is right about this, he is urging | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
extreme caution because this bubble could total the economy. We have | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
seen bubbles have a devastating effect of the economy before. He | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
suggesting he may have to mortgages in order to dampen down the market | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
because it is extremely overheating at the moment. I think that idea of | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
just trying to come people down is very sensible. What Mark Carney is | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
saying to the government, you are going to have to come up with | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
something other than the issue of touching interest rates. That is one | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
thing the bank of it and can influence. If you read interest | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
rates, we're just talking about wages, people can't afford to pay | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
their mortgages. That will be a bigger economic crisis. He is | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
saying, what we need to is tackled other issues, including supply. | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
There is a shortage of houses. When we look at the figures here in the | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Telegraph story, there is a 16% rise in house prices in London | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
year`on`year. And 4.9% on average in the UK. There is a shortage of | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
actual houses. The Help to Buy was supposed to help newbuilds. The | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
Dubai scheme at the moment actually helps you to buy a house up to the | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
value of ?600,000. Think about that. That is a lot of money when | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
the average house in the UK is meant to cost about 275,000. Mark Carney, | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
one of the suggested he had come up with is to actually change what | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
helped by actually entails. Some people are talking about the figure | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
being dropped to ?300,000. The Labour Party again is suggesting | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
that drop. It is a cry help saying, this cannot continue to. The | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
government is hinting that if Mark Carney does suggest that the | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
islanders live, they would have to listen and act. Absolutely. It may | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
well be a good solution. The problem with increasing supply is that this | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
is a country that invented the phrase NIMBY. Where do you build new | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
houses? They do not want a big new housing developments obscuring their | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
lovely field at the back of the house. The green belt is very | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
strongly protected in this country. It is a very nice idea to say, yes | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
we need new houses but where do you build them? Also in the Telegraph, | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
Nigel Farage appears. He has gone on the defensive to deflect claims of | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
racism after a poll suggested his attempts to cause a political | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
earthquake at the European elections may be blown off course. IGas it is | :08:35. | :08:44. | |
reading sentiment from his statement regarding the whole idea that you | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
are going to be comfortable having Romanians as your neighbours. Is | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
shocking to think that in this day and age a politician that get a lot | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
of print space and airtime could say something like that. This goes back | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
to an interview he did on Friday to. He said to the interviewer, I think | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
you know the difference between Romanians and Germans. And he said, | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
though I don't. And that is when his spin doctor tried to haul him off | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
air. He has made this mea culpa advert. Unfortunately we can't see | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
it. They have quoted it, sometimes I get things wrong, he also suggested | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
he was tired. I think that does risk opening hymn to other charges. What | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
other mistakes have made. If you are making errors or like this and you | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
are potentially opening yourself up to accusations of casual racism in | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
that way, and we really trust our boat with you? Is very crucial | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
timing. They always had the last 48 hours before the election matters | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
more than the previous 48 weeks. I think this 40 hours is going to be | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
absolutely crucial. Nigel Farage may be locked up in a cupboard somewhere | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
to stop him making more blunders. Is interesting he has taken out a | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
full`page ad. It is almost like they don't want him to say anything more | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
in an interview. Let someone else right! But it doesn't seem to be | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
affecting opinion polls? Labour and the Tories are extremely worried. | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
UKIP may well get the highest percentage. It would be the first | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
time a minority party has a map for decades. Let's look at the other | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
Telegraph story. The search for the four Britons in the Atlantic. It is | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
quite surprising it has only made it to the Telegraph this evening. This | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
really is about the four Britons that have been lost at sea and | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
unfortunately, it seems as though the search has been called off. Even | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
though it seemed that there are indications they could still be a | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
light because we have heard that there are still signals coming from | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
possible lifeboat. They have seen the remains of their boat. You would | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
have thought that given the search has been called off, it might have | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
got more coverage. Absolutely. There was an interview with a local MP | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
from Southampton saying, she was lobbying to try and talk to the US | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
coastguard to reopen the search. The flares seem to be let off in the | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
right order, indicating that they were alive at one stage. And that | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
they are very well trained in survival techniques, the apparently | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
got into the raft, the life raft. The families, and I would be exactly | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
the same is what was my relatives, as long as there is still hope, you | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
cannot search `` stop`and`search. The Express has a front`page | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
photograph that has some BAFTA winners on it. It was very good this | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
evening. We were talking about how billions Graham Norton is. He is | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
mischievous without being offensive. He handled it very well. He was up | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
for two awards himself but lost to the juggernaut that is Ant and Dec. | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
The Queen would lose against those guys. I doubt they would be in the | :11:59. | :12:08. | |
same category. That is true. Anyway, he was very funny introducing the | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
Best Actress award because Olivia Colman one two last year. She said | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
to the other three actors, I am sorry that you are in the same | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
category as Olivia Colman. She gave a lovely... Sometimes when the hood | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
actresses reach into tears... She is so genuine. I think she is very | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
personable. You feel that there is that connection. It is no wonder | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
that she continues to win BAFTAs. She was brilliant in 2012. She is | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
brilliant in everything. I would watch her reading the telephone | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
directory! And with the weather. The Guardian has a photograph, we see | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
somebody... Where are we? Somerset house in London. I enjoy the weather | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
yesterday but today I was picked up in my office. It is brilliant | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
because apparently, reporters are saying it won't end any time soon. | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
Often, you enjoyed weather in London and then they said tomorrow it will | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
back to showers. So far, we will enjoy it for a few more days. Lib I | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
am sorry to say that I enjoyed the weather watching the Arsenal victory | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
parade. He said he wasn't going mention that. I'm sorry, the weather | :13:30. | :13:38. | |
came up and it seemed natural. View in Northern Ireland would not have | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
enjoyed the weather as much. On that note. That is it for the papers. | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
Thank you to my guests. All the news at the top of the hour. But first, | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
the film review. | :13:53. | :13:56. |
