:00:00. > :00:00.for the club and the player. Plus, we will round`up day one of the

:00:00. > :00:14.Grand National Festival. That is coming up in 15 minutes.

:00:15. > :00:22.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing

:00:23. > :00:24.us tomorrow. With me are the financial analyst Louise Cooper and

:00:25. > :00:31.Michael Booker, deputy editor of the Express. Tomorrow's front pages. The

:00:32. > :00:35.Express says all of the smog hanging around could be a taste of things to

:00:36. > :00:41.come, with pollution levels likely to rise in the future. The Telegraph

:00:42. > :00:44.says MPs conspired to protect the Culture Secretary Maria Miller from

:00:45. > :00:49.serious censure over her expenses. The Guardian says Labour claims that

:00:50. > :00:55.by the time of the next election the average family in Britain will be

:00:56. > :00:57.nearly ?1000 more worse. The Metro says lights on tablets and mobile

:00:58. > :01:03.phones could be keeping Britain awake. The Mail leads on the smog

:01:04. > :01:06.and says scientists blamed the government's failure to improve our

:01:07. > :01:10.air quality. The Times says the controversy over Maria Miller's

:01:11. > :01:15.expenses have left a question mark over Parliament's ability to police

:01:16. > :01:20.itself. Vince Cable has warned of a bubble in the housing market in an

:01:21. > :01:23.interview with the Independent. The Miramax is the killer of Milly

:01:24. > :01:29.Dowler has won compensation after he was attacked in prison. `` the

:01:30. > :01:35.Mirror. Starting with what's been leading the news bulletins

:01:36. > :01:38.throughout the day. Smog misery. Experts warn more killer clouds to

:01:39. > :01:48.come. I thought the forecast was that it was going to improve? In the

:01:49. > :01:52.future. OK. Potentially, there could be more. We were told today it would

:01:53. > :01:56.be better but it didn't turn out that way. Things can change. But

:01:57. > :02:01.this is more about the future because of the pollution problems.

:02:02. > :02:05.The diesel we are pumping into the atmosphere. This one has been

:02:06. > :02:09.slightly more freak because we have the perfect storm, the Saharan dust

:02:10. > :02:16.covering everyone's cars and things like that. We have one third of the

:02:17. > :02:20.country's 4 million asthmatics have suffered an asthma attack since

:02:21. > :02:25.Tuesday, with 84% using their inhaler more often. I have a touch

:02:26. > :02:29.of asthma and I have felt a tight chest all week. People who haven't

:02:30. > :02:34.got respiratory problems have noticed a sandpaper feel at the back

:02:35. > :02:39.of the throat. It has been a very serious thing. We've done this

:02:40. > :02:44.story. The Mail and they take, very similar, but they also say David

:02:45. > :02:48.Cameron, who said he wasn't going for a job today, has been criticised

:02:49. > :02:52.because he has dismissed `` dismissed it as a naturally

:02:53. > :02:56.occurring phenomenon. But they say scientists say the health crisis is

:02:57. > :03:01.to do with the government's failure to do with air pollution in this

:03:02. > :03:07.country. They always like to have a bit of a dig. But there's probably a

:03:08. > :03:12.case for that. It's not been high on anyone's agenda. And we can see at

:03:13. > :03:17.this time. The pictures have been interesting. The Daily Mail has

:03:18. > :03:23.chosen to put the lovely Chris Seda on the front page, the potential

:03:24. > :03:28.fiancee of Prince Harry. That I think the pictures are more much

:03:29. > :03:32.impressive. Some of the pictures are truly extraordinary. And not just

:03:33. > :03:36.London. It seems extraordinary they didn't put a picture on the front.

:03:37. > :03:40.They must be able to get on. In a remote you have to have a balance.

:03:41. > :03:48.He wants a pretty woman on the front page. I think that headline gets

:03:49. > :03:56.across the story. We are all aware of the smog. Great pictures! Your

:03:57. > :04:00.paper has some great pictures. People are going out running with

:04:01. > :04:07.face mask song. That is a commitment to fitness. It's almost a fashion

:04:08. > :04:13.thing. David Cameron didn't want to do that. He wasn't committed. Boris

:04:14. > :04:20.Johnson got out there. He was on his bike. Didn't care, apparently. The

:04:21. > :04:26.particles can't get through his hair. Onto the Independent. He has

:04:27. > :04:29.been the doomsayer as far as house price rises have been concerned. The

:04:30. > :04:34.housing bubble worse than before the crash, according to Vince Cable. He

:04:35. > :04:39.has warned that in the 1990s the average price of a home was three

:04:40. > :04:44.times the average earnings and he now says it is about 5.5 times. You

:04:45. > :04:47.have to look differently at the London and south`east market,

:04:48. > :04:51.especially the London market, because quite clearly the date of

:04:52. > :04:56.the rest of the country doesn't show a housing bubble. It's very much a

:04:57. > :04:59.London problem. Made far worse by international investors, buying

:05:00. > :05:04.London property for investment purposes. The other thing a lot of

:05:05. > :05:08.people get wrong is the idea that the recovery is all based on a

:05:09. > :05:14.housing market rubble. That's also not true. If you look at the 80s and

:05:15. > :05:20.90s, the big booms in consumer spending will all driven by people

:05:21. > :05:23.using their houses as cashpoints. They call it equity withdrawal from

:05:24. > :05:30.your house. That's not the case now. In fact, en masse, Britons are

:05:31. > :05:35.paying back their mortgages at very high rates rates we haven't seen for

:05:36. > :05:40.30 years. So, don't get it wrong. There's not a house price bubble

:05:41. > :05:44.outside London and possibly the south`east and the recovery isn't

:05:45. > :05:56.based on a housing rubble. He is talking nonsense? `` housing bubble.

:05:57. > :06:02.I wouldn't say that. What he says here, the business secretary warns

:06:03. > :06:06.most families aren't able to afford homes at average prices. Failure to

:06:07. > :06:12.build more homes condemned for producing unsustainable property

:06:13. > :06:19.boom. Isn't he write? there are many people saying we can't get on the

:06:20. > :06:22.housing ladder. `` he right? But the Conservative Housing Minister said

:06:23. > :06:27.rising house prices are a good thing. To a lot of people, who

:06:28. > :06:33.aren't totally into every milk and cranny of interest rates and things

:06:34. > :06:36.like that, they do see a story on the front page of a national

:06:37. > :06:41.newspaper that says house prices are going up and people think it's a

:06:42. > :06:45.good thing and they feel good. That's the natural perception.

:06:46. > :06:50.Because, these days, it is more money in the bank in your mind,

:06:51. > :06:57.plus, as you get older, it's something to leave the kids, it's

:06:58. > :07:02.good for inheritance. Also, it's good to pay care homes and things. I

:07:03. > :07:08.can see the criticism, if you get into the fine detail. But what he is

:07:09. > :07:14.saying is what people think. I love salted chocolate. But if I eat too

:07:15. > :07:21.much, I know what will happen. I didn't get the link! Salty

:07:22. > :07:30.chocolate? It feels good but ultimately pop goes the bubble. Rowe

:07:31. > :07:34.if you eat too much chocolate... `` if you eat. Maybe it was a bad

:07:35. > :07:43.analogy. But it's all very well feeling now, this is the criticism

:07:44. > :07:49.of are constantly rising market, but bubble burst. It creates consumer

:07:50. > :07:53.confidence, people feel more confident about spending money, and

:07:54. > :07:55.what has clearly happened is the construction industry has now

:07:56. > :08:00.recovered. That's happened since last year's budget and all the help

:08:01. > :08:08.for the housing industry. Treaties are getting work, plasterers,

:08:09. > :08:21.allocations are getting work. `` electricians. I remortgaged recently

:08:22. > :08:24.to do a bit of building work. UI one of those using your house as a

:08:25. > :08:32.cashpoint. It was so strict, compared to when we had mortgages

:08:33. > :08:37.recently. It did take a while. The way they are going through every

:08:38. > :08:44.little budget now... The criteria is street. But they are getting looser

:08:45. > :08:49.as well. 100% mortgages and so on. When you talk about the average to

:08:50. > :08:55.earnings, yes. At interest rates are at record low levels. If you look at

:08:56. > :09:00.the mortgage deals, in terms of fixed rates, they are some of the

:09:01. > :09:05.best deals you have seen forever. In terms of average earnings, yes, it

:09:06. > :09:10.may look expensive, but due to interest rates in some areas they

:09:11. > :09:15.are affordable. The Times, few regrows as expenses row minister

:09:16. > :09:23.things to job. Ethics chief warns MPs. Earlier we were saying certain

:09:24. > :09:28.papers would be like a double bomb. They won't let it go. She did 30

:09:29. > :09:35.seconds of an apology today. MPs who looked at this and have the final

:09:36. > :09:42.say ruled they demand she pay back ?45,000. Instead, she has agreed to

:09:43. > :09:44.pay back ?5,800. That's what the taxpayer had been overcharged in

:09:45. > :09:50.expenses for the interest of the mortgage. A five bedroom home in

:09:51. > :09:59.London. You get the impression that these newspapers will keep on going

:10:00. > :10:08.and, as you can see, it says, the need for a free press. Certain

:10:09. > :10:15.newspapers will say that newspapers under her might not be able to look

:10:16. > :10:20.after their own... Look after the sort of thing. But won't be able to

:10:21. > :10:26.police themselves. Whereas MPs in this case seem to be able to police

:10:27. > :10:32.themselves. The front page of the Telegraph as well. You do think this

:10:33. > :10:38.is going to keep running. They wanted to go away, you see that, as

:10:39. > :10:42.you can see with the 32nd apology. She is pleased and wants to let it

:10:43. > :10:47.go. She would be. The suggestion is that David Cameron, by his critics,

:10:48. > :10:58.cannot lose a female minister from his Cabinet. My problem is where is

:10:59. > :11:04.the difference between ?45,000 and 5000 `` by,000 ?800. The

:11:05. > :11:09.decision`making doesn't seem to be that transparent. My other problem

:11:10. > :11:16.is clearly interest rates have gone down. Everyone knows they have. It's

:11:17. > :11:21.been massive in the media, in newspapers. She cannot have not

:11:22. > :11:28.known that interest rates were going down and yet she is saying that the

:11:29. > :11:33.reason why she did her expenses wrongly. Because she didn't realise

:11:34. > :11:35.interest rates had gone down. How she could not know that is beyond

:11:36. > :11:39.me. Also, it comes out in your bank statement every month. I find it

:11:40. > :11:44.very difficult to believe, although clearly we have to believe it,

:11:45. > :11:50.because we are told to believe it, that somebody can do this.

:11:51. > :11:59.Interesting. The Daily Mirror. Furia at Miller's killers. Prison attack

:12:00. > :12:05.compensation. `` fury. The man found guilty of murdering Milly Dowler.

:12:06. > :12:11.This is at the `` the front page that will upset a lot of people. A

:12:12. > :12:19.great story but a very sad story at the same time. Yes, ?4500 given to

:12:20. > :12:24.him after being attacked in prison. A lot of people will say this is

:12:25. > :12:27.disgusting. The family of Milly Dowler have been dragged through

:12:28. > :12:36.everything over the past few tears, with hacking and this is just... ``

:12:37. > :12:45.few years. Prisons do owe a duty of care. Yes. They do. The Ministry of

:12:46. > :12:49.Justice didn't want to pay it and have been fighting for three years.

:12:50. > :12:52.But, on Wednesday, this cash was awarded at the County Court after

:12:53. > :12:57.they had to admit full liability. They were just going to get more

:12:58. > :13:02.costs. But when you see things like how apparently he will give funds to

:13:03. > :13:17.his relatives, he wants to use it on his caravan. `` will not give funds.

:13:18. > :13:20.It has a car to off a US border immigration official and he is

:13:21. > :13:28.questioning a bloke. He says, have you ever tried one of Nigella

:13:29. > :13:38.Lawson's pastor recipes? She faces a drug test now. It is a bit tricky to

:13:39. > :13:42.be on top of that. The US immigration is incredibly strict as

:13:43. > :13:47.anyone who has travelled to America will know. We have spoken to the

:13:48. > :13:57.embassy and they say she is now entitled to come and speak to them

:13:58. > :14:03.and apply for a these are. So there is one rule for Nigella Lawson and

:14:04. > :14:13.one rule for everybody else? When I travelled to the US, I felt out the

:14:14. > :14:18.immigration card slightly wrong. I did that go into New Zealand after a

:14:19. > :14:30.25 hour flight. You are supposed to take no. I ticked yes, yes, yes to

:14:31. > :14:36.everything and they still let me in. That was New Zealand. It has been

:14:37. > :14:41.great having you in. Many thanks. Stay with us here because at the top

:14:42. > :14:46.of the hour we will have much more on all of that pollution that has

:14:47. > :14:59.been clogging the air over the last couple of days. Time for Sportsday.

:15:00. > :15:10.Hello and welcome to Sportsday. I'm John Watson. On the way tonight.

:15:11. > :15:13.Blackburn Striker DJ Campbell is one of six players rearrested as police

:15:14. > :15:14.step up their investigation into match fixing.

:15:15. > :15:15.Sunderland are fined
