:00:00. > :00:00.against Novak Djokovic at the Miami Masters. That's coming up in the

:00:00. > :00:12.next 15 minutes. Straight after The Papers.

:00:13. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing

:00:18. > :00:20.us tomorrow. With me are James Rampton, features writer at the

:00:21. > :00:28.Independent. And Kate Devlin of the Herald. Let's have a look at the

:00:29. > :00:31.front pages. We start of the Independent. It looks of alleged

:00:32. > :00:35.police corruption and subsequent investigation has found dozens of

:00:36. > :00:39.Metropolitan Police detectives were in the pay of organised crime. The

:00:40. > :00:44.Telegraph is leading an energy prices. The watchdog is likely to

:00:45. > :00:49.order a competition enquiry into the big six providers tomorrow,

:00:50. > :00:53.apparently. The financial Times says Rupert Murdoch's eldest son is in

:00:54. > :00:56.pole position to take over as father 's media empire. The guardians of

:00:57. > :01:00.the Home Secretary will take personal charge of the way the

:01:01. > :01:03.police respond to domestic abuse in England and Wales after a damning

:01:04. > :01:09.report. The express is looking forward to cheap energy bills after

:01:10. > :01:14.today's price freeze by SSE. The mail newspaper reports on fears of

:01:15. > :01:19.runaway house prices. We will start with a big debate tonight. Between

:01:20. > :01:24.two party leaders, one speaking five line which is including Dutch, the

:01:25. > :01:27.other one feels uncomfortable on a commuter train when he hears foreign

:01:28. > :01:40.managers. Which do you think is which? It's so hard to tell, isn't

:01:41. > :01:44.it? No idea. They were both, the audience and everybody told were

:01:45. > :01:51.told they had no idea what the questions are going to be. You just

:01:52. > :01:59.thought, it's on Europe. But you were there. Technically. You were in

:02:00. > :02:05.their spin room getting all kinds of jibber jabber from UKIP and the Lib

:02:06. > :02:09.Dems. Who do you think came out on top? It's very interesting because I

:02:10. > :02:16.thought it was very close and both of them had at the moment is dying

:02:17. > :02:25.moments and probably, Nick `` Nigel Farage one but he squeaked it. A

:02:26. > :02:29.poll says he won by a large margin tonight. What's very interesting is

:02:30. > :02:32.the last time we had TV debate during the general election, Nick

:02:33. > :02:42.Clegg was the man of the people, when speaking. He was the outsider.

:02:43. > :02:47.I think this time, Nigel Farage has managed to beat him. Apparently, in

:02:48. > :02:51.one of these polls, one in five Liberal Democrats thought Nigel

:02:52. > :02:57.Farage one. That is interesting. So they don't agree with Nick Clegg

:02:58. > :03:01.either. I agree with you that Nigel Farage has stolen Nick Clegg's

:03:02. > :03:06.outsider clothes and he's playing the underdog card for all it's

:03:07. > :03:11.worth. This front piece in the Guardian says it's interesting

:03:12. > :03:15.because UKIP has no more major experience of winning anything in

:03:16. > :03:21.the UK than a town called Ramsay in Cambridge with a population of 6000

:03:22. > :03:24.people but Nick Clegg is the Deputy Prime Minister. Lord Heseltine

:03:25. > :03:28.thought was a bad idea to dignify him with this debate and I think a

:03:29. > :03:33.lot of Liberal Democrats must be nervous about it but you can have

:03:34. > :03:39.got 30% in the polls going into May's Europe elections and the Lib

:03:40. > :03:43.Dems are 9%. Nick Clegg has to raise his profile to make it look

:03:44. > :03:46.statesman`like. He does have to prove he is a statesman. That's what

:03:47. > :03:52.you may have done tonight. That's the reason they went for it for what

:03:53. > :03:56.they are rock bottom in the polls. What happened in 2010, he came

:03:57. > :04:02.across as passionate, and man of the people, to a degree. Also, as well,

:04:03. > :04:08.because he was the outsider, he was perhaps hoping some of that Sheen

:04:09. > :04:11.would rub off tonight. Basically, they had nothing to lose another

:04:12. > :04:15.thing to gain and they had to do this. There was a call at the end

:04:16. > :04:24.when Nick Clegg said, it is never voted Lib Dem before, us a chance.

:04:25. > :04:29.They could equally absurd comeback. If you're hacked off at about

:04:30. > :04:33.tuition fees, for instance. It is very interesting, he made a real

:04:34. > :04:39.slip and said people always had to read the small print and he was

:04:40. > :04:42.talking about the combo ideas around EU referendum is but I think a lot

:04:43. > :04:50.of people will see that as tuition fees. The latter with a small print

:04:51. > :04:53.you sent to voters will come back to haunt him because people will see

:04:54. > :04:59.that as the most rank hypocrisy, and that could be why they are 9% in the

:05:00. > :05:03.polls. There is another debate next week so he could pull it back out of

:05:04. > :05:09.the fire and be seen to be the man who won an all that kind of stuff,

:05:10. > :05:17.but was it a mistake, given Nigel Farage's performance? It might be a

:05:18. > :05:23.mistake given what David Cameron and Ed Miliband aside to do because what

:05:24. > :05:27.tonight proved was that two people debating was quite dynamic, quite

:05:28. > :05:33.quick, a lot more sensible in some ways than three people debating.

:05:34. > :05:38.So, the upshot from tonight is Nick Clegg could end up being cut out of

:05:39. > :05:46.the general election debates. Then I think they will see it as a massive

:05:47. > :05:53.mistake. Is that a possibility? Basically, the parties get to decide

:05:54. > :05:58.themselves. The Lib Dems are going to say Nick Clegg are going to get

:05:59. > :06:02.on the stage. Many conservatives are keen not to have Nick Clegg are

:06:03. > :06:05.there. They think there's enough differentiation between Ed Miliband

:06:06. > :06:08.and David Cameron and their comfortable they can win that and

:06:09. > :06:16.they think Nick Clegg in the middle could muddy the waters. If Nick

:06:17. > :06:20.Clegg and David Cameron said we don't want Nick Clegg there, they

:06:21. > :06:24.can get away with that. Yes, I think Nick Clegg would try to take some

:06:25. > :06:35.action. I'm not sure if he would go for legal action. He would be

:06:36. > :06:38.spitting tacks of that was the case. If they said the doubly Prime

:06:39. > :06:44.Minister Erdogan along powerful enough to stand on the platform. The

:06:45. > :06:48.old boxing match, the confrontation between two people, that's why the

:06:49. > :06:58.US presidential elections work so well. It feels much more ponderous,

:06:59. > :07:07.everybody being asked the same question. Much more laboured. Two

:07:08. > :07:10.men feels a bit clean and clear. Let's move on to the Telegraph.

:07:11. > :07:18.Millions are paying too much for energy. No, Sherlock. Ofgem

:07:19. > :07:24.criticises the Big Six companies amid allegations of profiteering.

:07:25. > :07:29.This is interesting because it says it could lead to an enquiry that

:07:30. > :07:34.might even break up the so`called Big Six and this is an incendiary

:07:35. > :07:39.issues with the election right now. This is a big one in people's minds.

:07:40. > :07:42.People are being talked about the quality`of`life and the cost of

:07:43. > :07:48.living and this is absolutely key to that and people thinking that the

:07:49. > :07:52.increase, some as high as 11% recently, in their energy bills are

:07:53. > :07:56.unsustainable. That's why, although some people saw it a cynical, I

:07:57. > :08:02.think SSE has pledged today to freeze its prices for cue years was

:08:03. > :08:07.quite clever. They are losing 500 jobs at to off`load assets to

:08:08. > :08:13.achieve that but it seems they were getting ahead of the game so it will

:08:14. > :08:19.be interesting to see how that plays out. People are hoping that the

:08:20. > :08:30.other five big energy companies are following suit. Absolutely. I do

:08:31. > :08:37.wonder, though, what this will say tomorrow. It's basically about

:08:38. > :08:41.profits and SSE seem to be suggesting, by cutting energy bills

:08:42. > :08:45.and getting rid of staff, profits might not be too much affected, and

:08:46. > :08:51.you saw that in the stock market today. Actually, today, it will take

:08:52. > :08:57.the regulators to go in and change this market and we can't really rely

:08:58. > :09:04.on the goodwill of the energy companies. That sounds very

:09:05. > :09:12.tautological to me. On to the Daily Mail. House price bubble. Beware.

:09:13. > :09:17.The suggestion is we are stoking up house prices too much. Yes, it's

:09:18. > :09:23.quite worrying for the bid comes from the head of the independent

:09:24. > :09:26.office the budget responsibility, whose job it is to predict what's

:09:27. > :09:30.going to happen is the economy and if he says there's worries about

:09:31. > :09:35.house price bubbles, we should probably listen carefully. The

:09:36. > :09:41.problem is, as we know, the government has got interests in

:09:42. > :09:46.this. With helpers abide, they are hoping that this high risk strategy

:09:47. > :09:51.will get lots of people onto the market `` help to buy. And get their

:09:52. > :10:01.votes, without stoking a housing bubble remains to be seen. The Bank

:10:02. > :10:04.of England, Mark Carney, recently, was saying he doesn't think there's

:10:05. > :10:09.a bubble, but the public shouldn't get too much credit and overextend

:10:10. > :10:14.themselves just in case. It sounds as if the Bank of England is

:10:15. > :10:18.slightly worried as well. Interestingly, Prince Charles has

:10:19. > :10:23.weighed into this debate and I think, in this particular instance,

:10:24. > :10:30.I applaud what he said. He said is not sustainable, the average house

:10:31. > :10:37.price in London is expected to jump from ?458,000 up to ?650,000 and the

:10:38. > :10:44.next few years. Who can afford that? Most normal people would find that I

:10:45. > :10:48.bought a really expensive and would have to move out of London so Prince

:10:49. > :10:53.Charles is absolutely right to point this out as a huge issue. How can

:10:54. > :11:01.people get on the housing ladder if the average goes on up to 650,000?

:11:02. > :11:05.For the coalition, they're not in any mood to do anything about this

:11:06. > :11:10.before the election. On the flip side of this, as we always say

:11:11. > :11:14.before bubbles burst, everybody gets a lot richer. Quite a lot of people

:11:15. > :11:25.might be quite happy to see their bills... What his activity, I like

:11:26. > :11:29.that phrase, a lot of developers and speculators are buying things off

:11:30. > :11:35.plan that they don't intend to live in and that overheats the bubble

:11:36. > :11:39.which then bursts. I know one developer and where the plans have

:11:40. > :11:49.been sold twice. The plans. It hasn't been built at full sub sold

:11:50. > :11:53.twice, foreign investors. Was this when Gwyneth Paltrow kissed goodbye

:11:54. > :11:57.to her marriage? We've got no idea who the bloke is, someone called

:11:58. > :12:02.Donavon Leach, but she publicised the fact that she was separating

:12:03. > :12:07.from her husband, the lead singer of Coldplay, on her website. It wasn't

:12:08. > :12:12.even on the front page, it was in the blog spot, and she used a

:12:13. > :12:16.curious phrase which I have forgotten now! Conscious and

:12:17. > :12:21.coupling. I don't know what it means either! I am slightly conflicted

:12:22. > :12:25.about this story, I hate to see couples breaking up. But there is an

:12:26. > :12:32.element of schadenfreude about it, a woman whose very persona reeks of

:12:33. > :12:36.smugness. Really?! Absolutely, if you read the website, it tells you

:12:37. > :12:44.how to live your life, fun and banned, you have to knit sandals out

:12:45. > :12:48.of tofu. You have to leave... Live an incredibly dusty life, and some

:12:49. > :12:53.people say, I don't want to do that. There may be an element of that, I

:12:54. > :13:01.am not surprised he's run away if that is the way she is. Do you

:13:02. > :13:14.agree? This phrase turns out to be a self`help and trap and a whole

:13:15. > :13:21.industry... You learn a new thing every day on the Papers. Candy

:13:22. > :13:30.Crush... I did not think you were so cynical! I have absolutely no idea!

:13:31. > :13:35.Never heard that before! We will end with new media, Candy Crush has King

:13:36. > :13:43.takes 15%, explain what this is. You are a young person! I do know what

:13:44. > :13:47.it is, newfangled games that people play on their iPhones while they are

:13:48. > :13:53.commuting and all that kind of stuff. They are quite simple games,

:13:54. > :13:57.but they are worth millions, because they are very addictive. The problem

:13:58. > :14:02.is they might not be worth as much as people thought they were, and

:14:03. > :14:05.Candy has indeed been crushed on the stock market, taken an absolute

:14:06. > :14:10.pounding. It raises a couple of questions, is it just that the

:14:11. > :14:14.markets think this particular company had a one`hit wonder they

:14:15. > :14:21.will never repeat again? Or do they think that general tech stocks sell

:14:22. > :14:25.for a lot of money, do they think they are overvalued and we are

:14:26. > :14:32.heading towards another tech bubble? Oh dear, not like 2001 again! That

:14:33. > :14:36.does seem to be another bubble, and one analyst says, it is an unproven

:14:37. > :14:44.business and the presidents for this are not great. You can say that

:14:45. > :14:50.again! `` precedents. We saw Facebook by that company recently,

:14:51. > :14:55.WhatsApp, billions. Yeah, one wonders if it is money well spent.

:14:56. > :15:00.Absolutely. To be fair, the owners of Candy Crush did not help

:15:01. > :15:03.themselves. They basically admitted they were one`hit wonders and said

:15:04. > :15:10.the plan is not to find another megahit. OK! An interesting

:15:11. > :15:14.strategy! Merry Christmas, their one`hit wonder for ever and ever,

:15:15. > :15:18.live of the proceeds. And interesting business strategy, you

:15:19. > :15:23.will be back in an hour for another look at the stories, thanks for

:15:24. > :15:26.that. Stay with us, because at the top of the hour we will have a

:15:27. > :15:35.little bit more analysis of that debate between Nick Clegg and Nigel

:15:36. > :15:45.Farage. But coming up now, time for Sportsday.

:15:46. > :15:50.Hello and welcome to Sportsday, I'm Olly Foster. Here's what's coming

:15:51. > :15:55.up: Cock`a`Hoops, Celtic hit five at Partick, and they are champions for

:15:56. > :15:59.another year. It's been 24 years since Liverpool

:16:00. > :16:00.last won the title, but another victory keeps them in the
