:00:00. > :00:00.buying a football club. Ryan Giggs and others are clubbing together to

:00:00. > :00:22.buy Salford city FC. Hello, and welcome to our look ahead

:00:23. > :00:30.to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are Kiran

:00:31. > :00:33.Stacey, political correspondent at the Financial Times, and journalist

:00:34. > :00:39.and blogger Susie Boniface, aka, the Fleet Street Fox. Here is the

:00:40. > :00:46.independent, reporting on a study that shows that students from state

:00:47. > :00:57.schools are more likely to get top grade degrees than those with

:00:58. > :01:01.Dominic at private schools. `` than those at private schools. The Daily

:01:02. > :01:06.Telegraph reports that savers who are locked into pensions will be

:01:07. > :01:10.given a free exit. More on the probe into energy prices on the front of

:01:11. > :01:15.the Daily Mirror. The Daily Express says millions of people will be

:01:16. > :01:20.better off with a cap on pension charges. Ed Miliband calls for

:01:21. > :01:27.further curbs on energy bills, that is in the Guardian. And the Daily

:01:28. > :01:31.Mail reports on cats passing TB on to humans for the first time. On the

:01:32. > :01:32.Times, a picture of Sumatran tiger cubs that have made their first

:01:33. > :01:48.appearance at London zoo. We start with the Times. Alarm over

:01:49. > :01:57.in new housing bubble, and dangerous levels of borrowing. Some of these,

:01:58. > :02:04.if it is London and the south`east, is because of foreign investors in

:02:05. > :02:07.London is a great place to buy property. Certainly part two, which

:02:08. > :02:14.is available in homes that are just knew by, but definitely fuelling

:02:15. > :02:17.prices in London. We have seen prices take off in the past few

:02:18. > :02:24.years. Why is coming from places like the Arab world, Spain, Italy,

:02:25. > :02:27.where they haven't got much money, or their assets are losing a lot of

:02:28. > :02:38.value, so they are coming in buying houses filled. `` buying houses

:02:39. > :02:41.here. There is a big turnaround. People are saying, it might be in

:02:42. > :02:46.London, but not the rest of the country. Figures are now saying that

:02:47. > :02:49.it is the rest of the country. There are some worrying figures that

:02:50. > :02:53.suggest that people are borrowing much more than they can afford. It

:02:54. > :02:58.says that in 2005, just a few years before the crash, which was partly

:02:59. > :03:03.to do with people borrowing too much money for their houses, fewer than

:03:04. > :03:07.5% of mortgages were at more than 4.5 times the income. Most people

:03:08. > :03:19.were borrowing less than 4.5 times their income. Now, that has gone up

:03:20. > :03:24.to 8.3 7%. In London, it is 17.2%. We now have nearly one in five

:03:25. > :03:29.people borrowing more than their income. That it have any choice, do

:03:30. > :03:33.they? If they want to buy houses in this part of the world, that is what

:03:34. > :03:39.property costs. That is what people have had to do. I was borrowing six

:03:40. > :03:43.times my salary in 2005, and the bank let me do it. What's

:03:44. > :03:49.interesting is that George Osborne has sought to play down fears of a

:03:50. > :03:53.housing bubble, following accusations he was stoking the

:03:54. > :03:56.market to create a feelgood factor ahead of the election. Of course

:03:57. > :04:03.that is what he's doing. That is the entire point the flagship to buy

:04:04. > :04:08.scheme, is making everyone feel like they are doing better. That is the

:04:09. > :04:15.entire point of the whole thing! Come on, people! Wake`up! Some

:04:16. > :04:20.people say that it is going to crash at some point. They don't care, as

:04:21. > :04:27.long as it crashes after May 2015. It's not our problem. Two things can

:04:28. > :04:35.make it crash. Buyers who have come in from abroad might start to go

:04:36. > :04:38.again. That would take out some of the heat from the market. The other

:04:39. > :04:42.thing is that people simply get too stretched and can't afford mortgage

:04:43. > :04:49.payments any more. Also, talk about a bubble, the criteria of lending

:04:50. > :04:53.has tightened up since the crash. I was able to get six times my salary

:04:54. > :04:58.a few years ago, there is no way I could do that today. They are now

:04:59. > :05:06.saying that 4.5... 3.5 times your mum income if you are single

:05:07. > :05:10.person, you are potentially at risk of losing your home if interest

:05:11. > :05:14.rates go up. `` 3.5 times your income. The definition of a bubble

:05:15. > :05:20.is now a little more cautious than it was. The Chancellor is saying

:05:21. > :05:24.that prices are still significantly below their peak. Yes, but the guy

:05:25. > :05:29.who is in charge of the Office of Budget Responsibility has said that

:05:30. > :05:37.it is looking bubbly, quote, unquote. Once prices hit their

:05:38. > :05:40.peak, it is too late. If they are at their peak, they are about to come

:05:41. > :05:45.down. There were to move to flatten it out, so that just hit a peak and

:05:46. > :05:49.plummet off the other side. Are they any better at predicting that than

:05:50. > :05:53.they were in 2005? Absolutely not, they can't predict growth so...

:05:54. > :05:57.There are lots of people now, one of the distinct things about the

:05:58. > :06:01.housing market is how many people are buying with cash. The people who

:06:02. > :06:09.are borrowing are getting more stressed. Loads of people are buying

:06:10. > :06:11.with cash, so we could see an utterly divided... Who are these

:06:12. > :06:14.people who have hundreds of thousands of pounds? They are people

:06:15. > :06:18.coming from abroad, people who have been sitting on houses that are

:06:19. > :06:26.escalating in price, or people with rich parents or grandparents. MPs.

:06:27. > :06:33.MPs get mortgages get released on those. You particularly cynical,

:06:34. > :06:37.even by your standards, Susie. Very cute picture here, three Sumatran

:06:38. > :06:50.tiger cubs, you can only see two of them. They have made their public

:06:51. > :06:53.debut at the London Zoo. The population in the wild is estimated

:06:54. > :07:00.to have dropped to 300. These will be hugely popular at the zoo. It is

:07:01. > :07:03.horrifically sad, and that is what is pictured is not illustrate.

:07:04. > :07:10.Regents Park is not the place for a Sumatran tiger, they are not going

:07:11. > :07:15.to be particularly happy in the northern hemisphere, with smog and

:07:16. > :07:23.all that. There is a very narrow gene pool that they are breeding in

:07:24. > :07:28.as well. It is like choosing to save the red haired people or the blonde

:07:29. > :07:37.haired people or something like that. You wouldn't be very robust.

:07:38. > :07:40.The animals in the zoo population are not the same as the Sumatran

:07:41. > :07:44.tiger. They become different as a representation of this PC. If you

:07:45. > :07:53.want to conserve animals that are in danger, the thing is to conserve the

:07:54. > :07:57.habitat. I'm sure they will be cute, and we want to see tigers, but those

:07:58. > :08:00.tigers are never going to have freedom, they will never know what

:08:01. > :08:04.it is like to be outside was. There will never hunt their own food, and

:08:05. > :08:09.they are not going to be tigers in so many ways. This is a species that

:08:10. > :08:13.will breed in the wild. It is not like pandas, that have to be

:08:14. > :08:18.encouraged through every single matchmaking session that they do.

:08:19. > :08:23.Sumatran tigers do actually have a capacity for procreating, but the

:08:24. > :08:28.problem is logging and so on in their native territories. The

:08:29. > :08:37.developing world, that is having a big impact on lots of animals,

:08:38. > :08:41.rhinoceros, elephants... You think parents should not take their kids

:08:42. > :08:44.to the zoo? I think they should discuss the correct ways of saving

:08:45. > :08:52.Sumatran tigers. I have done lots of stories about animal conservation,

:08:53. > :09:01.so I have a little bit of bias. I think a tiger should be in it tiger

:09:02. > :09:04.appropriate place, not a zoo. You are not suggesting that we don't

:09:05. > :09:10.continue to keep the tigers we have got? No, but having animals create a

:09:11. > :09:14.lot of interest, perhaps proponents of this sort of thing would promote

:09:15. > :09:17.people try to go and save the situation in Sumatra. But people are

:09:18. > :09:21.making a lot of money out of it, they are spending a lot of money on

:09:22. > :09:26.these tigers in London, and not doing an awful lot about the

:09:27. > :09:32.situation in Sumatra. There is no point saving these animals, if you

:09:33. > :09:35.can't introduce them back into their native environment. It is weird and

:09:36. > :09:38.biologically odd. You need to take them back to the place where they

:09:39. > :09:42.are from, where they were bred, where they are designed to be

:09:43. > :09:46.living, and to be happy and to live their lives out. You can't have them

:09:47. > :09:50.in captivity for ever and ever just because you say, we can't have

:09:51. > :09:57.Sumatran tigers die out. I had no idea you would have so much to say

:09:58. > :10:08.about a picture on the Times. Sorry! Don't apologise, I'm thrilled. The

:10:09. > :10:14.Financial Times, this is a joint article that has been written by

:10:15. > :10:24.David Cameron and he is counterpart from Germany. Doesn't involve any

:10:25. > :10:31.tigers at all, unfortunately. What we saw, from what we know last night

:10:32. > :10:38.with the debate between Nigel Farage and Nick Clegg, England's role in

:10:39. > :10:43.the EU is in flux. David Cameron wants to renegotiate his position in

:10:44. > :10:47.the rest of Europe. The problem is, does anyone else want to sign up to

:10:48. > :10:51.what Britain was? Do they want to stop immigrants coming into the UK

:10:52. > :10:54.and other countries, or do they want to keep freedom of movement going?

:10:55. > :10:59.This is the first sign that Germany, the major power, might be wanting to

:11:00. > :11:06.sign up to some of what Britain want. He is saying that he will put

:11:07. > :11:10.in guarantees that the eurozone countries will not be able to gang

:11:11. > :11:19.up on those countries that are not inside the eurozone, and determine

:11:20. > :11:33.the way that how markets work. What we are worried about is that... All,

:11:34. > :11:39.there will be a tax. The Robin Hood tax. They will say, sorry guys, we

:11:40. > :11:43.don't care about what you want, or going to do this. That is what

:11:44. > :11:53.Britain is terrified about, they are looking for an emergency brake. What

:11:54. > :11:58.Wolfgang Schauble is saying is that we are listening, we understand you

:11:59. > :12:01.have concerns, we will be listening is a group of 18 without you, and we

:12:02. > :12:05.promise not to cook up anything that is going to hurt you. Which shows,

:12:06. > :12:11.despite all the problems they have been with the euro project in places

:12:12. > :12:16.like Greece, Portugal, Ireland, how powerful the eurozone is. It is

:12:17. > :12:21.powerful partially because it has Germany in it. But you are right, it

:12:22. > :12:25.is an immensely powerful bloc of countries, these are big economies.

:12:26. > :12:31.As a voting bloc and a trading bloc, it really carries some clout.

:12:32. > :12:34.David Cameron is still plugging away at the idea that he will get a

:12:35. > :12:41.referendum through an renegotiate terms. Also, this only really

:12:42. > :12:46.relates to ask and Denmark. We are the only two nations that aren't

:12:47. > :12:53.obliged to join the euro, although we are EU states. All Wolfgang

:12:54. > :12:59.Schauble has said is that he is going to be fair to countries that

:13:00. > :13:02.are outside the Eurozone, isn't exactly what Nigel Farage would

:13:03. > :13:08.want, I don't think. It is something, and we have not had much

:13:09. > :13:13.so far. They will seize on it, what they? It is genuinely a positive

:13:14. > :13:20.sign. There is no reason why Germany should turn around and say they will

:13:21. > :13:22.look after our interests as well. That is the ultimate thing that

:13:23. > :13:28.David Cameron is hoping. He hoped that Berlin will turn around and

:13:29. > :13:30.say, if the choice is giving you something you want or having you

:13:31. > :13:34.leave altogether, I would rather have you in. Not least because

:13:35. > :13:38.Britain and Germany agree on a lot of things. This is Germany saying,

:13:39. > :13:42.we would rather have you in, we will give you a little bit. The question

:13:43. > :13:47.is, are they going to go much further? Particularly on things like

:13:48. > :13:50.immigration? If they want to exercise a V2 and say, no, we don't

:13:51. > :13:59.want to do that, we are not part of the euro but we don't want you to do

:14:00. > :14:05.that. `` veto. They might say that, but we wouldn't say that on BBC

:14:06. > :14:12.News. You did have as much to say about that as tigers. The Daily

:14:13. > :14:20.Telegraph, it is after 9am, we are all grown`ups. Hillsborough police

:14:21. > :14:22.question of the deaths. Four police officers being interviewed under

:14:23. > :14:26.caution. It is the first time they have been questioned in the criminal

:14:27. > :14:29.caution as potential manslaughter suspect. This is part of the

:14:30. > :14:39.investigation into what really went on at Hillsborough when 96 people

:14:40. > :14:49.died in 1989. 25 years on, it is incredibly slow getting to the

:14:50. > :14:51.truth. We didn't know until about 18 months ago whether there had been a

:14:52. > :14:55.cover`up that we seem to now know that happen. We are managing to see

:14:56. > :15:00.members of the police force brought in for questioning. When the police

:15:01. > :15:03.decide to cover something up, they are very good at it. They are very

:15:04. > :15:07.good at closing ranks and making sure no one finds out the truth.

:15:08. > :15:11.Now, we don't know what the truth is, and I'm not saying either way on

:15:12. > :15:14.this one. There does seem to be evidence that evidence might have

:15:15. > :15:20.been doctored, that it was covered up Apple all levels in the police.

:15:21. > :15:28.And, we are only just now, 25 years later, finding that there are heavy

:15:29. > :15:36.suspicions. `` covered up at all levels. Not all police officers are

:15:37. > :15:43.cut from the same cloth. 13 are being questioned under caution, four

:15:44. > :15:46.for manslaughter and others for offences including perverting the

:15:47. > :15:52.course of justice, and abusing public office. Some are still

:15:53. > :15:58.serving, 12 are long since retired. It is astonishing that it has taken

:15:59. > :16:01.25 years to get to this stage. It has been 18 months or so since the

:16:02. > :16:04.Hillsborough Independent panel when we finally learn foreign FAQ that

:16:05. > :16:14.there had been a cover`up. We are now waiting for the inquest. ``

:16:15. > :16:17.learn for a fact. It is going to be so long since the original event

:16:18. > :16:21.that the chances of actually having a court case that you could make a

:16:22. > :16:32.charge stick is going to be almost remote, I would have thought. This

:16:33. > :16:39.is no victory at all, for anybody. But look at the Daily Mail very

:16:40. > :16:48.quickly. For owners catch TB from their pet. You're not a cat owner,

:16:49. > :16:52.are you? No. So no sympathy. This disease has lept from one species to

:16:53. > :16:59.another. Disease will cross barriers and bugs evolve. I am looking

:17:00. > :17:04.forward to the day that the Environment Secretary calls for a

:17:05. > :17:09.cull on cats and tries to get that one past the voters. Seem to have

:17:10. > :17:12.picked this up from badges, so perhaps he will blame badgers again.

:17:13. > :17:20.Shifting the blame on to somebody else. I feel particularly bad about

:17:21. > :17:26.the on the front page that has gone missing. He an infected cat and he

:17:27. > :17:31.has gone on the loose. They must have known. Look at him, he is

:17:32. > :17:38.clearly an evil cat. He is named after Richard Nixon, if you did not

:17:39. > :17:44.know that she was up to no good then you do now. There is a little go out

:17:45. > :17:54.there who loves that. She should be in bed, it is 11:45pm. Thank you so
