away. We will all see some sunshine. In the sunshine it should feel OK. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Much more detail online. Welcome to our look ahead to what | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
the papers will bring us tomorrow. With me is Joe `` Jo Phillips and | :00:20. | :00:29. | |
Hugh Muir. Let us have a look at what some of the front pages are | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
bringing us. The Express says a routine test could soon predict | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
whether women are at risk of developing breast cancer. EU leaders | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
are questioning the lifestyle of the man expected to be the next | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
commission president. The Metro reports on a Jimmy | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
Savile's abuse. The Guardian also focuses on Jimmy | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
Savile and who was responsible. This is the Times. Britain's | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
population is the fastest`growing in the European Union and is expected | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
to increase more than 74 million in a quarter of a century. | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
The FT focuses on the allegations facing Barclays. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
And the Independent says that Britain is in the middle of a green | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
energy revolution is. The Daily Mail says that British energy companies | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
have seen their profits soar over the past five years. | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
We are going to start with that one. Making ?101 profit per family per | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
year. Under a lot of scrutiny, major firms. Yes. It is not even the ?101 | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
profit, it is 1000% increase in the last five years. Anyone who pays for | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
their electricity will not the surprised. At last, an enquiry has | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
been announced. Jim says it will have an enquiry. `` the regulatory | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
body. We do not know when it is going to report or if it will report | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
before the general election. Is it going to say anything other than the | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
fact that we know we are being ripped off? Energy companies argued | :02:14. | :02:24. | |
the cost of producing electricity and gas is increasing all the time. | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
They are developing new, alternative energies. They have the most | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
appalling credibility problem. People do not believe what they say. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
People think their bills go up, but never notice if they go down. This | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
is bashing the energy companies and it is a game that we can all play. | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
All companies will see advantage in bashing the energy companies. Ed | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
Miliband will seize upon this. That has been one of his main policy | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
successes so far. Other parties have had to try and follow him down the | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
road. I suspect in the next few weeks we will see a lot of the | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
parties bringing a lot of attention to the energy companies. Do they | :03:18. | :03:27. | |
think this is such a central issue to so many people? There are so few | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
people that politicians can talk about that impact directly on the | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
voters. This is one of them. Every voter is affected. Politicians find | :03:38. | :03:46. | |
this a good way to connect. There is not much consensus. Nobody | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
disagrees. That is why you will see which of them complained the | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
hardest. It does make you wonder whether, if this is a nice | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
pre`election ploy? I had an interesting chat with a man | :03:58. | :04:15. | |
who works for an energy company. He says we are using up reserves of gas | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
and oil. These companies have to find an alternative. And with all | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
the unrest happening in the Middle East and Russia, it is inevitable | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
that we have to do something. And look to either saving energy or, | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
this is a segue into the next story. Indeed. The gentleman I was | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
referring to, his job is to find gas and oil and he is running out of | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
places to find it. Now they are looking at green power, which | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
features on the front page of the Independent. Britain sees the light, | :04:50. | :04:58. | |
says the paper. This is staggering. Up 43% in a single year. Amazing. I | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
think that would surprise a lot of people. Green energy has very much | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
gone off the agenda, politically. Who wants to talk about it, because | :05:11. | :05:19. | |
it is toxic? Who wants a wind farm near them. Sections of the | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
Conservative party almost have it as a token of faith that we don't want | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
any more windfarms. The new talk about the impact upon rule Britain. | :05:27. | :05:35. | |
`` rural. How does it benefit politicians to even talk about it? | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
It comes back to the point where if we can provide our own energy and if | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
we can do it, then we aren't dependent on the `` for the reasons | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
we just said, dependent on the Middle East or Russia for oil. That | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
is able to argument. Don't forget they are offshore windfarms. There | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
is a huge one near London and around Scotland. But your cynical point of | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
view, that governments will focus on this type of thing to try to win | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
over votes doesn't quite stack up across the Conservatives have said | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
they aren't going to expand windfarms if they win the next | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
election. It's not going to have any renewed enthusiasm is for windfarms | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
or renewables. The Conservatives will look at the prices. That will | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
be their electoral cell. You are saying there is public support for | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
renewable energy but not a wind farm. `` electoral sell. I think | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
this is interesting. There is another story to this, the amount of | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
subsidy that has gone into this. I think there is this central benefit | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
of windfarms and energy that we create in this country, which is | :07:04. | :07:18. | |
jobs and reduce `` the Juve `` rejuvenation. If we can say we have | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
one fifth of the energy, if this is doing something about unemployment | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
and the social capital in areas that I think that would be an even better | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
story. Let's move on. Staying with the Independent. The headline, poor | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
white pupils need extra help with English. This is off the back of | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
Ofsted's announcement last week, that they felt schools were letting | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
down white working class children. That they should be entitled to the | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
same kind of language support as people who have English as a second | :07:54. | :08:03. | |
language. The paper quotes that. What this really shows is that we | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
don't really know what the problem is with the white working class. | :08:07. | :08:17. | |
Last week, the problem was the ``, the suggestion was it was poor | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
parenting. This week it's that they are and keeping up with pupils who | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
have English as a second language. The people who work in schools... | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
You recognise the phenomenon where some migrant children come in with | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
no English at all and very quickly get the English and very quickly | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
leapfrog some of those white working class children. The phenomenon is | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
clearly they are. We know it is there. I don't get the sense that we | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
really know why it is happening. There's a lot of flailing around and | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
different theories. The London figures didn't quite stack up with | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
the rest of the country as well. Especially in London. What came out | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
of the report last week, to a certain extent underlined by this, | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
is the fact that there are many parts of Britain, especially the | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
provinces and coastal towns, where there aren't the resources and not | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
least of all it's not very easy to attract good teachers. In actual | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
fact, there was report yesterday, that a lot of kids are doing better | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
if they are a more mixed ethnic and language `based groups of children. | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
Actually, money and resources have been given to inner cities and so | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
maybe it's a moral. Tesco's features on the front page of the Guardian. | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
It owns enough land to fit 15,000 new homes, homes that are very much | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
needed. I right in thinking Tesco's buys a lot of land near supermarkets | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
to try to stop the competition from building near them? They do huge | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
amounts of land. `` do own. We are talking about the same number of | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
homes that is proposed for an area in Kent, the new garden city. Given | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
we talked in the last lot about this population explosion, and we all | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
know about the house price bubble, unless you are Eric Pickles, there | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
is a shortage of housing. Tesco's is sitting on this land. What are they | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
going to do? This ties in with the Labour Party's idea, you can't sit | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
on it. Use it or lose it. That's a policy that yet to be fleshed out | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
all worked out. But it will make people think, hang on a minute, how | :10:44. | :10:52. | |
does this stack up? This story is about Tesco's but other supermarkets | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
in particular have gone out to buy areas of land to make sure that | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
competitors can't build out of town supermarkets close to tears. Some | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
new supermarkets do have flats above them. `` close to theirs. That can | :11:07. | :11:16. | |
happen. But when we are in a situation where we need more houses, | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
where house prices rise because we don't have enough... We don't have | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
the supplier, I think people will get angry about this sort of thing | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
and they should get angry. There is a disparity between what politicians | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
say, we need more houses, it doesn't happen and if it's a matter of | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
getting the land why do they just do it? But they still have to apply for | :11:41. | :11:49. | |
planning. We do need more houses because there is a population | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
surge. The Times reports on Britain being the fastest population surge | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
in the EU. Immigration is partly to blame. That may surprise people. | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
Also at increased birth rate. They are talking about 74 million people | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
in 25 years. The population has grown by 5 million since 2001. | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
That's the same amount as it gained in the 37 years between 1964 and | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
2001. That is astonishing. It is going to put pressure on | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
everything. Schools, hospitals, roads, homes, jobs. What are we | :12:24. | :12:32. | |
going to do? What it will mean is that areas that haven't seen a surge | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
in the population so far, because it hasn't been even in the country, are | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
going to see new people arrive and they will have to get used to that. | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
In somewhere like London, people are used to different faces and | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
languages but that's going to be the case in other parts of the country. | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
I just want to show the picture on the front page of the Times. It's | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
time for celebrity spotting at Wimbledon. Pippa Middleton bear. And | :12:57. | :13:08. | |
her friend, who plays Lady Mary in Downton Abbey. `` Pippa Middleton | :13:09. | :13:21. | |
there. She is grinning. Michelle is looking very serious. Should they be | :13:22. | :13:34. | |
sitting so close together? She is looking a bit toothy, like Suarez! | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
At midnight we will have the latest headlines and more on the shocking | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
reports into the abuse carried out by Jimmy Savile at NHS hospitals. | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
But coming up next, it's time for World Cup | :13:51. | :13:51. |
