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. | :00:00. | |
in three days, forcing thousands from their homes. Hello and welcome | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with: The Sunday Times publishes its | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
rich list, and says Britain's wealthiest people are getting even | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
wealthier. The Observer has a picture of Arsenal winning the FA | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Cup, and reports that MPs will investigate the outsourcing giant | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
Serco over allegations of sexual assault by one of its staff at an | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
immigration detention centre. The Mail on Sunday says children as | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
young as nine will be given drugs on the NHS to prepare them for | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
sex`change surgery. The Independent on Sunday has a special report on | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
environmental damage caused by microbeads from domestic products | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
that are being washed into the sea. The Sunday Telegraph has an | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
interview with the new culture secretary Sajid Javid. He tells the | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
paper immigrants coming to Britain must learn to be British. And the | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
Sunday Express says cuts to coastguards at Britain's seaside | :01:11. | :01:21. | |
resorts are putting lives at risk. We will begin with the Sunday | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
Telegraph, and its interview with the first Asian Secretary of State, | :01:25. | :01:37. | |
the Tory MP Sajid Javid. He is talking about how migrants should | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
integrate, speak the language, find work, and respect our way of life. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
At a time when according to the poll by the Telegraph, the Conservatives | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
are pulling ahead. Yes, there are some different polls about. The | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
Sunday Mirror gives UKIP an 11 point lead. They will do very well in | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
Thursday's elections. Getting back to that theme, one of the key | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
reasons they are so successful is that tough stance on immigration. | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
Conservatives have been one of the victims to that. They say that | :02:17. | :02:29. | |
immigrants should speak English, that if you want to come to England | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
you should speak the language, find work, and respect our way of life. | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
It is interesting that people are able to live here without speaking | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
the language. Do we as the host culture want to make it easier for | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
people to assimilate? I often see people at the post office, young | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
people assisting their parents. I couldn't live like that, because I | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
like to talk to people. Other people could. Some people say that those | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
who don't speak the languages tend to be the women, and tend to be kept | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
at home and so forth. That is a problem for the Asian community, not | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
the host community. I saw some Asian people yesterday, sitting on the | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
porch, eating sandwiches, there might have had some samosas as well. | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
And they look like a typical English family. Only, the majority of my | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
friends who come from different backgrounds or whose parents come | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
from different backgrounds, consider themselves English. I suppose this | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
MP, Sajid Javid, would absolutely say the same. But is it the fact | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
that he can say what is under speak of. As a man whose parents were | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
Pakistani immigrants, who came to this country. And he has done | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
extremely well for himself as a result of that. He has. And it is a | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
message which comes much that from the son of a Pakistani bus driver. | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
But he is a typical because he is a multimillionaire who went into the | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
city and made a huge fortune. He is now tremendously successful and very | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
much still, even though he is still a candidate, a rising star of the | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
party and the potential future leader of that party and potential | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Prime Minister one day. So it is a great message to put across and will | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
certainly resonate with people, but people will say that it is all very | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
well to say it, but people expect these governments to take action | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
backing up these sorts of words. Her I have friends who teach English as | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
a second language, there was a lot of funding going into that front | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
while, which has been cut back. There was not an effort to get | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
people to speak English. The thing is, what is British culture? I think | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
nowadays it is about so much more than cucumber sandwiches. It is | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
about the fact that we've got curry being made here which aren't in | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
other parts of the world. I think it is easier for someone like him to | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
say it, and maybe more Tory politicians should be talking like | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
him. But whether or not... Would they be accused of racism if they | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
do? That's the problem. Whether it is difficult to put someone like him | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
up, because it is more palatable. Let's stay with the Telegraph for | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
another story, this is Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank of | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
England, warning of the house price risk. He warned of deep structural | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
problems. He says that rising prices, represent a big threat to | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
the economy. He that what we need is a greater supply to take the heat | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
out of it. The Bank of England will not be building any houses any time | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
soon. And the houses I see being built are not really houses. They | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
are concrete shells with wooden panels. I didn't write a flat, | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
because I decided that prices were too crazy. I decided to do something | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
a bit alternative. I wouldn't buy one of these. They look like plastic | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
houses, they are not real houses. `` I wouldn't buy a flat. The people | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
building them are building the cheapest houses they possibly can | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
because they know they can get an average of 250,000 for a 2`bedroom | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
flat in London. The money they spend on building is not much. He is | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
tapping into something which lots of people have been concerned about. | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
The fact that we have learnt lessons, and there have been | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
stripped the lending rules. But people are still borrowing and | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
having to borrow huge sums of money to get a foot in the housing | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
market. House prices in London are about 25% over their peak. And Mark | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
Carney is warning of a huge debt overhang is people risked being | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
heavily indebted again, and we will return to the last financial crisis. | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
Like all clever city people, he is hedging. He has faced criticism for | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
saying that interest rates will not rise. And that the housing bubble | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
will get even bigger. He is starting to hit not necessarily that they | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
will rise, but that he is concerned and monitoring it. And deflecting | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
that criticism he has faced about not reacting quickly enough to what | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
is going on in the London policy market. Looking at the Times. Ed | :07:19. | :07:29. | |
Miliband is losing, according to reports. A candidate who did not | :07:30. | :07:45. | |
realise he was being recorded, has said Ed Miliband will never form a | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
credible government. It is not too bad. It is not near the top of the | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
list. But rather interestingly, he was taped surreptitiously by someone | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
referred to as posing as a PR professional. It doesn't make it | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
clear whether that was a journalist or someone who, shall we say, | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
doesn't have labour's best interest at heart. He is echoing the views of | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
many about labour's election strategy. It is not hugely damaging, | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
but it does reflect the criticisms of some within the party about the | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
question that none of us know the answer to. Which is, has Ed Miliband | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
got what it takes to win the election? The truth is, lots of | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
pundits around, all with a view, but no one knows exactly what will | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
happen. And part of the conversation is the need to court the | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
aspirational southern voters. That is where you win elections. With | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
UKIP expected to do very well, will that translate into gains with their | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
first MP in Westminster. It will be an interesting run`up the general | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
election. True, but he does name several areas, Norwich, Croydon | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
Central, areas where Labour needs to pick up. He does talk about that" as | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
well. That that was completely the wrong message. And that the right | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
message is not being given. But from my point of view, as a non` party | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
political person, I think Ed Miliband doesn't come across well. | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
What are labour policies? It will be a bout Ed Miliband. And people think | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
he is... It will be a choice between two people, and they need to decide | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
whether Ed Miliband or David Cameron reflect their interests more. David | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
Cameron does rather well in some parts of the country where they are | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
not doing well at all. They will feel closer to labour than the | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
Conservatives. Staying with the Times, the rich double their wealth | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
in five years. The top 1000 people in the country are now worth a | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
record ?519 billion. It says that most of them are men, and women are | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
still the poor relations. But poverty in this list is absolutely | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
relative. It is quite staggering that in the five years since the | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
crash, the richest have gotten richer. All I hear about is people | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
who are going through a hard time. Fashionable people, freelance | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
people, people in training. To hear that the rich are getting richer, it | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
does smell a bit, doesn't it? They are a group of people just above any | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
other consideration, aren't they? It is astonishing. Now, to get on list | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
you need to be worth 85 million. The chances of any of us adding there | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
are slim. The most striking thing is that the top 1000 surge to new | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
heights. Their wealth has risen by 15% in the last year. They are worth | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
a total of nearly 500 early in pounds `` ?500 billion. It had | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
previously flat lined in terms of wage rising across the board, and | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
yet these people are seeing a 15% rise. I like the fact the Sunday | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
Times have said they have pages dedicated to how to get rich. So if | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
you do want to get rich, they have a self`help section. How to become a | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
billionaire. Does it matter? Apart from making us wistful or envious, | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
does it matter that people are this rich? They're not happy, are they? | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
Money doesn't buy happiness, I know that. But it might be nice to see | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
how it feels. It makes life easier, but that our other problems. MPs | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
will be probing Serco. A report about the company that does a lot of | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
government contract work. To be investigated, a secret report has | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
evidence that they failed to properly investigate claims of | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
repeated sexual assaults against a woman at a detention centre. It was | :12:27. | :12:36. | |
difficult to get access to this report. The chair of the Home | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
Affairs Select Committee described it as shocking. What strikes you | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
about this? Could this have happened at a centre run by local authorities | :12:45. | :12:55. | |
Local authorities have got a reputation for this sort of thing | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
happening. My problem is that these are the same organizations that | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
Michael Gove has been talking about. That is innovation, isn't it? | :13:03. | :13:12. | |
Bringing in private organizations to shake up safeguarding? Not from my | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
point of view. This is very sensitive and it relates to families | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
where there may have been abused going on in and it is about the | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
protection of the child. I don't think that should be put in the | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
hands of private companies stop lieu this could be just the tip of the | :13:33. | :13:47. | |
iceberg. That we are not going to not watch them. So many private | :13:48. | :13:56. | |
companies work for the government. Certain companies perhaps shouldn't | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
be doing certain works. That's it for The Papers this hour. Thank you | :14:04. | :14:16. | |
to my guests. Stay with us here on BBC News: At midnight, we'll have a | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
report on the latest promise to combat Boko Haram ` the group that | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria. Coming up next it is | :14:23. | :14:53. | |
Reporters. Welcome to this special edition. I am here in the capital of | :14:54. | :14:54. |
