:00:00. > :00:00.At least 20 people have been killed in Bosnia and Serbia after the worst

:00:00. > :00:00.floods in more than a century. It is estimated three months of rain fell

:00:00. > :00:17.in three days, forcing thousands from their homes. Hello and welcome

:00:18. > :00:25.to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

:00:26. > :00:28.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with: The Sunday Times publishes its

:00:29. > :00:36.rich list, and says Britain's wealthiest people are getting even

:00:37. > :00:39.wealthier. The Observer has a picture of Arsenal winning the FA

:00:40. > :00:41.Cup, and reports that MPs will investigate the outsourcing giant

:00:42. > :00:46.Serco over allegations of sexual assault by one of its staff at an

:00:47. > :00:49.immigration detention centre. The Mail on Sunday says children as

:00:50. > :00:52.young as nine will be given drugs on the NHS to prepare them for

:00:53. > :00:55.sex`change surgery. The Independent on Sunday has a special report on

:00:56. > :00:59.environmental damage caused by microbeads from domestic products

:01:00. > :01:02.that are being washed into the sea. The Sunday Telegraph has an

:01:03. > :01:06.interview with the new culture secretary Sajid Javid. He tells the

:01:07. > :01:10.paper immigrants coming to Britain must learn to be British. And the

:01:11. > :01:21.Sunday Express says cuts to coastguards at Britain's seaside

:01:22. > :01:24.resorts are putting lives at risk. We will begin with the Sunday

:01:25. > :01:37.Telegraph, and its interview with the first Asian Secretary of State,

:01:38. > :01:41.the Tory MP Sajid Javid. He is talking about how migrants should

:01:42. > :01:46.integrate, speak the language, find work, and respect our way of life.

:01:47. > :01:53.At a time when according to the poll by the Telegraph, the Conservatives

:01:54. > :02:02.are pulling ahead. Yes, there are some different polls about. The

:02:03. > :02:07.Sunday Mirror gives UKIP an 11 point lead. They will do very well in

:02:08. > :02:11.Thursday's elections. Getting back to that theme, one of the key

:02:12. > :02:16.reasons they are so successful is that tough stance on immigration.

:02:17. > :02:29.Conservatives have been one of the victims to that. They say that

:02:30. > :02:33.immigrants should speak English, that if you want to come to England

:02:34. > :02:40.you should speak the language, find work, and respect our way of life.

:02:41. > :02:46.It is interesting that people are able to live here without speaking

:02:47. > :02:50.the language. Do we as the host culture want to make it easier for

:02:51. > :02:57.people to assimilate? I often see people at the post office, young

:02:58. > :03:00.people assisting their parents. I couldn't live like that, because I

:03:01. > :03:05.like to talk to people. Other people could. Some people say that those

:03:06. > :03:10.who don't speak the languages tend to be the women, and tend to be kept

:03:11. > :03:14.at home and so forth. That is a problem for the Asian community, not

:03:15. > :03:18.the host community. I saw some Asian people yesterday, sitting on the

:03:19. > :03:22.porch, eating sandwiches, there might have had some samosas as well.

:03:23. > :03:27.And they look like a typical English family. Only, the majority of my

:03:28. > :03:30.friends who come from different backgrounds or whose parents come

:03:31. > :03:34.from different backgrounds, consider themselves English. I suppose this

:03:35. > :03:39.MP, Sajid Javid, would absolutely say the same. But is it the fact

:03:40. > :03:45.that he can say what is under speak of. As a man whose parents were

:03:46. > :03:47.Pakistani immigrants, who came to this country. And he has done

:03:48. > :03:53.extremely well for himself as a result of that. He has. And it is a

:03:54. > :03:59.message which comes much that from the son of a Pakistani bus driver.

:04:00. > :04:03.But he is a typical because he is a multimillionaire who went into the

:04:04. > :04:07.city and made a huge fortune. He is now tremendously successful and very

:04:08. > :04:12.much still, even though he is still a candidate, a rising star of the

:04:13. > :04:15.party and the potential future leader of that party and potential

:04:16. > :04:20.Prime Minister one day. So it is a great message to put across and will

:04:21. > :04:23.certainly resonate with people, but people will say that it is all very

:04:24. > :04:26.well to say it, but people expect these governments to take action

:04:27. > :04:32.backing up these sorts of words. Her I have friends who teach English as

:04:33. > :04:36.a second language, there was a lot of funding going into that front

:04:37. > :04:40.while, which has been cut back. There was not an effort to get

:04:41. > :04:44.people to speak English. The thing is, what is British culture? I think

:04:45. > :04:49.nowadays it is about so much more than cucumber sandwiches. It is

:04:50. > :04:55.about the fact that we've got curry being made here which aren't in

:04:56. > :04:59.other parts of the world. I think it is easier for someone like him to

:05:00. > :05:04.say it, and maybe more Tory politicians should be talking like

:05:05. > :05:09.him. But whether or not... Would they be accused of racism if they

:05:10. > :05:14.do? That's the problem. Whether it is difficult to put someone like him

:05:15. > :05:20.up, because it is more palatable. Let's stay with the Telegraph for

:05:21. > :05:23.another story, this is Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank of

:05:24. > :05:28.England, warning of the house price risk. He warned of deep structural

:05:29. > :05:35.problems. He says that rising prices, represent a big threat to

:05:36. > :05:42.the economy. He that what we need is a greater supply to take the heat

:05:43. > :05:46.out of it. The Bank of England will not be building any houses any time

:05:47. > :05:50.soon. And the houses I see being built are not really houses. They

:05:51. > :05:55.are concrete shells with wooden panels. I didn't write a flat,

:05:56. > :05:59.because I decided that prices were too crazy. I decided to do something

:06:00. > :06:04.a bit alternative. I wouldn't buy one of these. They look like plastic

:06:05. > :06:09.houses, they are not real houses. `` I wouldn't buy a flat. The people

:06:10. > :06:14.building them are building the cheapest houses they possibly can

:06:15. > :06:18.because they know they can get an average of 250,000 for a 2`bedroom

:06:19. > :06:22.flat in London. The money they spend on building is not much. He is

:06:23. > :06:26.tapping into something which lots of people have been concerned about.

:06:27. > :06:31.The fact that we have learnt lessons, and there have been

:06:32. > :06:35.stripped the lending rules. But people are still borrowing and

:06:36. > :06:41.having to borrow huge sums of money to get a foot in the housing

:06:42. > :06:46.market. House prices in London are about 25% over their peak. And Mark

:06:47. > :06:52.Carney is warning of a huge debt overhang is people risked being

:06:53. > :06:55.heavily indebted again, and we will return to the last financial crisis.

:06:56. > :07:00.Like all clever city people, he is hedging. He has faced criticism for

:07:01. > :07:05.saying that interest rates will not rise. And that the housing bubble

:07:06. > :07:09.will get even bigger. He is starting to hit not necessarily that they

:07:10. > :07:15.will rise, but that he is concerned and monitoring it. And deflecting

:07:16. > :07:18.that criticism he has faced about not reacting quickly enough to what

:07:19. > :07:29.is going on in the London policy market. Looking at the Times. Ed

:07:30. > :07:45.Miliband is losing, according to reports. A candidate who did not

:07:46. > :07:50.realise he was being recorded, has said Ed Miliband will never form a

:07:51. > :07:57.credible government. It is not too bad. It is not near the top of the

:07:58. > :08:04.list. But rather interestingly, he was taped surreptitiously by someone

:08:05. > :08:09.referred to as posing as a PR professional. It doesn't make it

:08:10. > :08:14.clear whether that was a journalist or someone who, shall we say,

:08:15. > :08:19.doesn't have labour's best interest at heart. He is echoing the views of

:08:20. > :08:22.many about labour's election strategy. It is not hugely damaging,

:08:23. > :08:27.but it does reflect the criticisms of some within the party about the

:08:28. > :08:33.question that none of us know the answer to. Which is, has Ed Miliband

:08:34. > :08:38.got what it takes to win the election? The truth is, lots of

:08:39. > :08:42.pundits around, all with a view, but no one knows exactly what will

:08:43. > :08:46.happen. And part of the conversation is the need to court the

:08:47. > :08:51.aspirational southern voters. That is where you win elections. With

:08:52. > :08:57.UKIP expected to do very well, will that translate into gains with their

:08:58. > :09:01.first MP in Westminster. It will be an interesting run`up the general

:09:02. > :09:08.election. True, but he does name several areas, Norwich, Croydon

:09:09. > :09:13.Central, areas where Labour needs to pick up. He does talk about that" as

:09:14. > :09:20.well. That that was completely the wrong message. And that the right

:09:21. > :09:25.message is not being given. But from my point of view, as a non` party

:09:26. > :09:30.political person, I think Ed Miliband doesn't come across well.

:09:31. > :09:36.What are labour policies? It will be a bout Ed Miliband. And people think

:09:37. > :09:41.he is... It will be a choice between two people, and they need to decide

:09:42. > :09:46.whether Ed Miliband or David Cameron reflect their interests more. David

:09:47. > :09:51.Cameron does rather well in some parts of the country where they are

:09:52. > :09:58.not doing well at all. They will feel closer to labour than the

:09:59. > :10:05.Conservatives. Staying with the Times, the rich double their wealth

:10:06. > :10:11.in five years. The top 1000 people in the country are now worth a

:10:12. > :10:18.record ?519 billion. It says that most of them are men, and women are

:10:19. > :10:20.still the poor relations. But poverty in this list is absolutely

:10:21. > :10:24.relative. It is quite staggering that in the five years since the

:10:25. > :10:29.crash, the richest have gotten richer. All I hear about is people

:10:30. > :10:34.who are going through a hard time. Fashionable people, freelance

:10:35. > :10:41.people, people in training. To hear that the rich are getting richer, it

:10:42. > :10:46.does smell a bit, doesn't it? They are a group of people just above any

:10:47. > :10:53.other consideration, aren't they? It is astonishing. Now, to get on list

:10:54. > :11:00.you need to be worth 85 million. The chances of any of us adding there

:11:01. > :11:06.are slim. The most striking thing is that the top 1000 surge to new

:11:07. > :11:13.heights. Their wealth has risen by 15% in the last year. They are worth

:11:14. > :11:22.a total of nearly 500 early in pounds `` ?500 billion. It had

:11:23. > :11:27.previously flat lined in terms of wage rising across the board, and

:11:28. > :11:34.yet these people are seeing a 15% rise. I like the fact the Sunday

:11:35. > :11:41.Times have said they have pages dedicated to how to get rich. So if

:11:42. > :11:46.you do want to get rich, they have a self`help section. How to become a

:11:47. > :11:51.billionaire. Does it matter? Apart from making us wistful or envious,

:11:52. > :11:58.does it matter that people are this rich? They're not happy, are they?

:11:59. > :12:04.Money doesn't buy happiness, I know that. But it might be nice to see

:12:05. > :12:11.how it feels. It makes life easier, but that our other problems. MPs

:12:12. > :12:17.will be probing Serco. A report about the company that does a lot of

:12:18. > :12:22.government contract work. To be investigated, a secret report has

:12:23. > :12:26.evidence that they failed to properly investigate claims of

:12:27. > :12:36.repeated sexual assaults against a woman at a detention centre. It was

:12:37. > :12:39.difficult to get access to this report. The chair of the Home

:12:40. > :12:44.Affairs Select Committee described it as shocking. What strikes you

:12:45. > :12:55.about this? Could this have happened at a centre run by local authorities

:12:56. > :12:59.Local authorities have got a reputation for this sort of thing

:13:00. > :13:02.happening. My problem is that these are the same organizations that

:13:03. > :13:12.Michael Gove has been talking about. That is innovation, isn't it?

:13:13. > :13:19.Bringing in private organizations to shake up safeguarding? Not from my

:13:20. > :13:24.point of view. This is very sensitive and it relates to families

:13:25. > :13:27.where there may have been abused going on in and it is about the

:13:28. > :13:32.protection of the child. I don't think that should be put in the

:13:33. > :13:47.hands of private companies stop lieu this could be just the tip of the

:13:48. > :13:56.iceberg. That we are not going to not watch them. So many private

:13:57. > :14:03.companies work for the government. Certain companies perhaps shouldn't

:14:04. > :14:16.be doing certain works. That's it for The Papers this hour. Thank you

:14:17. > :14:19.to my guests. Stay with us here on BBC News: At midnight, we'll have a

:14:20. > :14:22.report on the latest promise to combat Boko Haram ` the group that

:14:23. > :14:53.kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria. Coming up next it is

:14:54. > :14:54.Reporters. Welcome to this special edition. I am here in the capital of
