:00:00. > :00:00.fight to keep the T20 series alive with the West Indies. That's in 15
:00:00. > :00:18.minutes, after the papers. Hello there. Welcome to our lock
:00:19. > :00:23.ahead to what the papers -- look ahead to what the papers will be
:00:24. > :00:27.bringing us. With us, Kevin Schofield and Emma Barnett.
:00:28. > :00:32.Some of the front pages are already in. Let's see some of them now. We
:00:33. > :00:36.start with the telegraph. It leads with the news that interest rates
:00:37. > :00:40.could rise six-fold by 2017 as the economy grows. That's next to a
:00:41. > :00:45.photograph of the missing pilot from flight MH370 with a passenger in the
:00:46. > :00:49.cockpit in that picture, which is from a previous flight. Miliband
:00:50. > :00:54.rules out early EU poll. That's on the front of the Financial Times.
:00:55. > :00:58.The Metro has a story about a man who died of heart failure,
:00:59. > :01:02.apparently brought on by biting his nails. The Mail says the NHS is
:01:03. > :01:07.investigating claims that GPs are charging care homes for visits that
:01:08. > :01:10.should be free. The Mirror - a story about the tax
:01:11. > :01:14.arrangements of the Defence Secretary, whom the paper alleges
:01:15. > :01:21.has signed over a buy to let property to his wife. Philip Hammond
:01:22. > :01:24.has denied this is a tax dodge. The Guardian - an interview with the
:01:25. > :01:29.inventor of the web, who says there should be an internet Magna Carta to
:01:30. > :01:32.protect the independence of the medium.
:01:33. > :01:36.We will start with the Daily Telegraph. Kevin, interest rates to
:01:37. > :01:40.rise as the recovery gathers pace. We all know that's going to happen.
:01:41. > :01:45.The question is, when is it going to happen? Are there any clues? Yeah,
:01:46. > :01:49.well Mark Carney obviously had to roll back on the old policy which
:01:50. > :01:54.said the forward guidance policy which said it wouldn't happen until
:01:55. > :02:00.unemployment fell below 7%. That happened quicker than expected. The
:02:01. > :02:04.economy is roaring along now, everyone says so. So he's
:02:05. > :02:07.acknowledging that it is going to, interest rates will return to
:02:08. > :02:12.something like normal, probably something like 3%. The interesting
:02:13. > :02:15.thing politically is when the first rise is, will it be before the
:02:16. > :02:22.general election or after? If it's before, it could be quite bad news
:02:23. > :02:28.for the Prime Minister. Mr Carney, he suggests that it could be 3%, as
:02:29. > :02:34.Kevin was saying. But that's nowhere near what it was pre-the recession,
:02:35. > :02:40.which was 5%, I think at the highest point. I remember when it rates were
:02:41. > :02:44.13, 14, 15%. I think a lot of people now will be thinking, how does this
:02:45. > :02:48.actually affect me. For savers, it's really good news. But if you've been
:02:49. > :02:51.used to a certain mortgage payment going out each month and suddenly
:02:52. > :02:54.you're thinking, I haven't got a fixed rate, people, you know,
:02:55. > :02:58.there's expected to be a rush on that, people going to fix their
:02:59. > :03:02.rates of their mortgage. This is the start of people buying homes, that's
:03:03. > :03:06.the season coming up, or looking to sell and move. That will affect
:03:07. > :03:10.that. The bigger thing is will it actually affect most people's lives
:03:11. > :03:15.and their quality of living? The quality of most people's lives,
:03:16. > :03:18.especially we'll talk about Ed Miliband soon, but Ed Miliband
:03:19. > :03:21.saying his big election focus and what he'll change if he were Prime
:03:22. > :03:26.Minister is the quality of living crisis in this country. For a lot of
:03:27. > :03:31.people, this won't mean very much, if anything, making their lives less
:03:32. > :03:34.affordable. Think we could see a rise before the election? I would
:03:35. > :03:39.think that Mark Carney, though the Bank of England is obviously
:03:40. > :03:44.independent now, will come under a lot of pressure from Number Ten not
:03:45. > :03:47.to increase interest rates. I think he's inclined not to. He says
:03:48. > :03:52.there's a bit of slack in the economy, it can handle interest
:03:53. > :03:56.rates where they are at the moment. We've become hooked on cheap credit.
:03:57. > :04:01.It will be a shock to the system for a lot of people in terms of mortgage
:04:02. > :04:06.payments, when rates go up. I don't think it will be before the
:04:07. > :04:12.election. But certainly next year, but not pre-general election. And
:04:13. > :04:15.missing airliner's pilot joked with female passengers in the cockpit at
:04:16. > :04:19.30,000 feet. This is actually a photograph not from that flight,
:04:20. > :04:25.from a previous flight, but there the first glimpse of the pilot of
:04:26. > :04:30.this feated -- fated plane. First you do see the pilot of this missing
:04:31. > :04:34.flight and his employees, Malaysia airlines is taking it seriously.
:04:35. > :04:38.This passenger has come forward and said on previous flights he invited
:04:39. > :04:41.women into the cockpit. They were smoking, him and his copilot. They
:04:42. > :04:44.weren't even looking out in the direction of where they were meant
:04:45. > :04:54.to be travelling. The other element of this is the news that there has
:04:55. > :04:57.been a warning that the 777s, that there's a weakness in the system
:04:58. > :05:02.there and there's a fear of a decompression and it wasn't anything
:05:03. > :05:06.man-made. It could have been a fault with the plane. Which is really, you
:05:07. > :05:09.know, both sides would be terribly tragic and we don't know what's
:05:10. > :05:18.happened. I still can't get my head around this story. No, no-one can.
:05:19. > :05:24.You have knavies from Six Nations -- Navies from six nations looking.
:05:25. > :05:29.There was a suggestion that the plane actually came back, Veered off
:05:30. > :05:33.to the west, which is now where they're focussing the search effort.
:05:34. > :05:37.It's incredible, there's so many people and countries looking for any
:05:38. > :05:41.sign of wreckage and any clues as to what might have happened. Now we're
:05:42. > :05:45.getting all sorts of conspiracy theories that it's been high jacket
:05:46. > :05:50.and redirected to some hidden location. I was hearing today that
:05:51. > :05:52.apparently people are phoning passengers and their phones are
:05:53. > :05:56.actually ringing, which would suggest that they haven't crashed.
:05:57. > :06:02.But whether that's a conspiracy theory or not, I don't know. You
:06:03. > :06:06.heard it today? Yeah, but don't take it as Gospel. Should be on the front
:06:07. > :06:10.page of your paper, shouldn't it? That's a cracking story. I don't
:06:11. > :06:14.think I read it on Twitter. If I were your editor, I'd fire you if
:06:15. > :06:19.you heard that and didn't put it in the paper. That's incredible. There
:06:20. > :06:23.is no physical evidence as to what happened. All kinds of speculation
:06:24. > :06:28.and that vacuum of information is being filled now. We will go to the
:06:29. > :06:33.Financial Times. Miliband rules out early EU poll. All the papers are
:06:34. > :06:39.reporting it this way. Miliband will not hold an EU referendum. He rules
:06:40. > :06:43.out EU poll on Financial Times. The message from the Labour Party was
:06:44. > :06:49.that Ed Miliband will hold a referendum on the, an in-out
:06:50. > :06:51.referendum on the EU but if... They turn it around the other way. That's
:06:52. > :06:55.because they don't want you to report it this way. He wants to have
:06:56. > :06:59.his cake and eat it. No-one's bought it, have they? All the papers are
:07:00. > :07:03.reporting it this way. That's because our papers are good.
:07:04. > :07:10.Absolutely. Go on. You're right, they are trying to present him as
:07:11. > :07:18.being a mild Euro-sceptic perhaps, but clearly David Cameron set the
:07:19. > :07:24.bar by saying I will hold an in-out referendum by 2017. If David - Ed,
:07:25. > :07:30.sorry, Freudian slip again. If he fails to match that, then he's being
:07:31. > :07:34.weaker, if you can put it like that, on EU membership. I don't see how
:07:35. > :07:39.Labour can spin this as Ed being tough. It's quite clearly he is a
:07:40. > :07:43.massive fan of the EU. He does not want to hold a referendum. He says
:07:44. > :07:49.that it would be unlikely that a Government led by him would sanction
:07:50. > :08:00.any chance powers from Westminster to Brussels triggering on his terms.
:08:01. > :08:04.It's a major dividing line for Labour and the Tories. Despite all
:08:05. > :08:12.that, Ed Miliband had to construct a sentence at some point that included
:08:13. > :08:16.the word "in-out and referendum" and this is how he's done it. No-one's
:08:17. > :08:19.fallen for the line. He's written this saying, only if there's a big
:08:20. > :08:23.transfer of powers will we have this EU referendum. He's not going to do
:08:24. > :08:28.that. If he is in power, he's safeguarded against that. All right.
:08:29. > :08:35.The Daily Mail - now GPs charged to visit care homes. NHS probes doctors
:08:36. > :08:38.cash demands. There are claims that certain care homes are paying for
:08:39. > :08:45.GPs to come and visit their residents. So GPs are billing these
:08:46. > :08:48.care homes for visits that should be free. We don't have all the details
:08:49. > :08:53.because it's just a couple of paragraphs. It's reported in one
:08:54. > :08:58.case a GP requested an extra 24,000 a year to cover services for 72
:08:59. > :09:02.elderly residents. People are saying and a Labour peer said, if there's
:09:03. > :09:06.evidence of fraud, it would be a police matter. This builds into the
:09:07. > :09:12.bigger thing where I don't think we have enough transparency about what
:09:13. > :09:15.goes on in care homes. We keep getting these stories, whether it's
:09:16. > :09:19.abuse or the heavy burden of finance on the whole family and elderly
:09:20. > :09:24.people having to sell their homes. It's in our interests to get care
:09:25. > :09:29.homes to be a really decent level across the country as people live
:09:30. > :09:34.longer and longer. Why isn't there more transparency on such an
:09:35. > :09:38.important issue? The Government is trying to bed down on these costs.
:09:39. > :09:41.With an ageing population more and more of us have parents getting
:09:42. > :09:46.older and are likely to live longer than before. It's a major issue, a
:09:47. > :09:50.major political issue as well. But you're right, there is a lack of
:09:51. > :09:54.transparency and there's a feeling that this feeds into the whole
:09:55. > :09:59.feeling of rip-off Britain in many ways that GPs allegedly trying to
:10:00. > :10:04.play the system, trying to get as much money out of the families of
:10:05. > :10:14.nursing home residents as they can. Yeah, it's a major headache. These
:10:15. > :10:19.are services that should be free? That's how I assume everyone thinks
:10:20. > :10:23.they should be. The nursing homes already pay a set amount to the
:10:24. > :10:28.local GPs to come in to provide a basic service to their patients.
:10:29. > :10:34.However, it looks like GPs allegedly charging on top of that, to cream
:10:35. > :10:40.off some extra cash. It is completely wrong. A very interesting
:10:41. > :10:50.story there. Onto the Guardian. Bob Crow. It's a great picture! It is.
:10:51. > :10:54.He is a man who he said didn't like anyone gobby, he liked someone with
:10:55. > :11:00.a bit of sparkle and with strong opinions. That would sum him up
:11:01. > :11:05.really. The news is incredibly shocking. Just 52. Whoever you are,
:11:06. > :11:09.whatever your politics are, you knew who Bob Crow was. I don't think you
:11:10. > :11:12.can say that about many union leaders anymore. They don't occupy
:11:13. > :11:17.that same space they used to. He is probably the last of a kind.
:11:18. > :11:21.Obviously there are still at the very vociferous people in that
:11:22. > :11:25.movement, but as your report said, I'm sure he would be chuckling as to
:11:26. > :11:30.how many of his fiercest enemies have come to say... Or pay their
:11:31. > :11:35.respects, saying quite lovely things about him. The suggestion is that
:11:36. > :11:39.behind-the-scenes he was a conciliatory, he was someone who was
:11:40. > :11:43.trying to strike a deal. There were two sides to him. He knew how to
:11:44. > :11:46.play the media, to get public opinion on his side, and he knew how
:11:47. > :11:54.to deal with the likes of ACAS and Boris Johnson. He was very good at
:11:55. > :11:59.his job. You've only got a look at the terms and conditions that Tube
:12:00. > :12:04.drivers have got compared to ten or 15 years ago. It's incredible. Why
:12:05. > :12:07.have not love the other union leaders done that? Is there
:12:08. > :12:11.something peculiar about the importance of the railways, of
:12:12. > :12:14.course, to national life? If you do have a strike it does tend to bring
:12:15. > :12:23.bosses to their knees and to the negotiating table. Is that the
:12:24. > :12:26.reason he was so successful, because he was in a particular industry? I
:12:27. > :12:29.think that played in his favour. But he did wield a pretty heavy stick
:12:30. > :12:36.when it came to pay talks and suchlike. I don't think Boris
:12:37. > :12:40.Johnson... On the one hand you can talk tough, but if it means the
:12:41. > :12:44.infrastructure of the capital city is going to grind to a halt, then
:12:45. > :12:49.clearly that reflects badly on you as London mayor. It is probably a
:12:50. > :12:54.fitting epitaph for Bob Crow that his last major dispute with Boris
:12:55. > :13:00.Johnson, he came out on top once more. He copped a load of flak for
:13:01. > :13:05.the hassle that commuters had to put up with but, at the end of the day,
:13:06. > :13:10.as far as his members are concerned, the guy is a hero. From vox pops we
:13:11. > :13:15.did at the time of a number of these strikes, people sort of perspective
:13:16. > :13:18.that. Even though a lot of people were inconvenienced and angry about
:13:19. > :13:23.it, many others were sort of, well, he's doing what he needs to do for
:13:24. > :13:31.his members. I don't know who you were talking to! You don't always
:13:32. > :13:35.want to make somebody... There was lots of controversy about Bob Crow,
:13:36. > :13:42.a lot of people said his first thing was to go for a strike. He was a man
:13:43. > :13:48.who divided people. A lot of people I know felt that strikes were
:13:49. > :13:51.something from yesteryear and didn't fit the place and were extremely
:13:52. > :13:57.inconvenient for those people who needed to get to work. The head of
:13:58. > :13:59.ACAS said if you compare the number of ballots he called with the number
:14:00. > :14:04.of strikes that took place, he didn't have many strikes,
:14:05. > :14:12.apparently. But then there must have been a lot of ballots. The strikes
:14:13. > :14:15.were very high profile. They do stick in your mind if you are not
:14:16. > :14:23.able to get into work in the morning. Blame Bob Crow. Lots of
:14:24. > :14:29.tributes being paid to him today. You will be back in and our's time
:14:30. > :14:37.for another look at the headlines. At 11pm, we will have the latest on
:14:38. > :14:41.Labour's plans, or non-plans, for a possible referendum on Britain's's
:14:42. > :14:52.relationship with the European Union. Now it's time for Sportsday.
:14:53. > :14:59.Hello and welcome to Sportsday. I'm Katie Gornall, coming up... Bayern
:15:00. > :15:02.Munich show Arsenal the exit. The Gunners are out of the Champions
:15:03. > :15:09.League, as the holders march on to the quarterfinals. England let the
:15:10. > :15:10.T20 series slip in Barbados as Sammy seals it for the West
