:00:00.:00:09.

That's up in 15 minutes after the papers.

:00:10.:00:16.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing

:00:17.:00:20.

us tomorrow. With me are Beth Rigby of the Financial Times, and the

:00:21.:00:23.

director of the Creative Industries Federation, John Kampfner.

:00:24.:00:27.

Tomorrow's front pages. The Financial Times reports that the RBS

:00:28.:00:30.

has become the second bank to cap large mortgage loans.

:00:31.:00:34.

Tomorrow's front pages. The Financial Times reports that the The

:00:35.:00:35.

Telegraph has a photograph of two veterans who met today for the first

:00:36.:00:39.

time since they took part in the D`Day landings 70 years ago.

:00:40.:00:42.

There are also commemorative portraits of some of the D`Day

:00:43.:00:48.

veterans in the Guardian. The barrel bomb and the ballot box,

:00:49.:00:51.

is the headline in the Independent which examines how Assad held on to

:00:52.:00:57.

power in Syria. The Metro has the story that

:00:58.:00:59.

three`parent babies could be born within two years after the

:01:00.:01:02.

controversial procedure was given the go`ahead.

:01:03.:01:08.

And, the Mail says shoppers will have to pay 5p for plastic bags from

:01:09.:01:11.

next year. And finally The i suggests there are

:01:12.:01:15.

going to be reforms to pensions, tax`free childcare, and shale gas

:01:16.:01:17.

exploration in the coalition's last Queen's Speech.

:01:18.:01:30.

We are going to start with the Financial Times. RBS capping

:01:31.:01:36.

mortgages amid London fears. RBS is owned by you and me. And, Lloyds.

:01:37.:01:42.

That is the other bank that has joined RBS in capping... There is

:01:43.:01:50.

the massively overheating housing market in London. Today's figures

:01:51.:01:54.

show that house prices grew at a rate of 11% annually. That his

:01:55.:02:05.

record prices of housing in London. Two banks, partly state`owned, will

:02:06.:02:15.

now cut mortgages. ``. RBS are going to restrict customers to a maximum

:02:16.:02:19.

of four times their income of half ?1 million or more and they will

:02:20.:02:24.

restrict the length of time people can take mortgages. Why? We saw this

:02:25.:02:32.

from the European Commission about the UK housing market and about the

:02:33.:02:36.

property bubble, suggesting to the chancellor he may want to rethink

:02:37.:02:41.

his help to buy scheme which is designed to help first`time buyers

:02:42.:02:44.

onto the latter by the government backing deposits for them. It is

:02:45.:02:50.

also against the backdrop of Marconi at the Bank of England, and whether

:02:51.:02:56.

or not he needs to step in `` Mark Carney. V Help`to`Buy scheme which

:02:57.:03:09.

was accelerated at the last party conference to fanfare is a key

:03:10.:03:15.

policy for them going into the election `` the Help`to`Buy. The

:03:16.:03:20.

government will be concerned by suggestions that they are

:03:21.:03:23.

facilitating a housing bubble and all the ramifications of that for

:03:24.:03:29.

the economy. Will it be enough? You need them nationwide. You need

:03:30.:03:32.

Chelsea and all of the others to get on board with this kind of policy.

:03:33.:03:39.

You do and you don't. If the Bank of England starts sending signals to

:03:40.:03:44.

the European Commission, no one wants to be seen to be responsible

:03:45.:03:47.

for the next housing crash. Therefore, there will be banks

:03:48.:03:53.

leading by example and others falling behind. This is a back to

:03:54.:03:58.

the future feel. It is the same situation in the middle of the last

:03:59.:04:02.

decade. Just before the crash, we said never again. Now we have this

:04:03.:04:06.

classic thing. Supply hasn't improved and we are all equally

:04:07.:04:18.

guilty of their not being any equivalent anywhere in the world for

:04:19.:04:23.

our obsession with property. It is the ultimate Berlin the eighth of

:04:24.:04:28.

how you have done in your life. `` deliniator. In countries like

:04:29.:04:34.

Germany, we think it is a tragedy... Within the Westminster

:04:35.:04:44.

chatter, at the time that the Help`to`Buy scheme was launched,

:04:45.:04:47.

there was talk that what Osborne and Cameron wanted to do was have a mini

:04:48.:04:53.

housing boom before the election. It makes homeowners feel good. You are

:04:54.:04:59.

thinking, I am sitting here and my house is appreciating. By ?500 per

:05:00.:05:06.

day or whatever. You have to remember that is the constituency

:05:07.:05:10.

that votes in elections. Help`to`Buy isn't part of that. The figures

:05:11.:05:15.

released suggested that it is such a small proportion of the housing

:05:16.:05:21.

market at the moment. The housing market is a chain. If there aren't

:05:22.:05:24.

people coming in at the bottom to buy the lower price stock, people

:05:25.:05:28.

can't trade up. You need the chain to be working. That means people

:05:29.:05:33.

have to be getting in. If house prices are going away from what most

:05:34.:05:36.

people can afford, then you help them out. Chain, nationwide isn't

:05:37.:05:47.

working. The undersupply is a London and south`east London phenomenon and

:05:48.:05:50.

also the sense of people sitting there, on their hands doing nothing,

:05:51.:05:56.

seeing the pounds rolling in everyday as a result of their

:05:57.:06:00.

property. The government have gone to great lengths to stress that the

:06:01.:06:07.

Help`to`Buy scheme isn't primarily benefiting people from London, but

:06:08.:06:11.

people around the country. I will be interested to see whether they do

:06:12.:06:17.

tweak the system. They need to restrict it to mortgage lender

:06:18.:06:20.

outside London because they might want to take a bit of control but

:06:21.:06:26.

for this gets... (CROSSTALK) one on the electoral cycle. You can bet

:06:27.:06:31.

your bottom dollar that whoever comes in in a year's time, they will

:06:32.:06:35.

be amenable to putting the squeeze on things. Tightening things up.

:06:36.:06:46.

Onto the Daily Telegraph. Zombie government. Claims are dismissed

:06:47.:06:53.

about the coalition running out of steam. Announcements that people

:06:54.:07:02.

don't have to take out annuities. Everyone can drive the Lamborghini

:07:03.:07:05.

announcement at the last budget. In other words, you can splash all of

:07:06.:07:08.

the case that you saved up immediately. The counter argument is

:07:09.:07:15.

that you need to trust in the public and the public knows if they have

:07:16.:07:19.

spent 30 years or more are saving into a pension that they only have

:07:20.:07:28.

one chance to use it. That is a argument we know about. One year

:07:29.:07:33.

before the election, both parties will have to split away and define

:07:34.:07:38.

themselves. It is about the election now. The fascination about all of

:07:39.:07:45.

this is that this is a fixed term parliaments. `` Parliament. Both

:07:46.:07:56.

parties are conducting a very choreographed dance, except when

:07:57.:07:58.

they step on each other's toes, which they do at reasonable

:07:59.:08:10.

intervals, around co`sharing the record, which they have set in the

:08:11.:08:16.

preface, then distancing themselves before the election. It will be

:08:17.:08:24.

messy. It is great. Cameron and Clegg loving. For years on, the

:08:25.:08:27.

government are governing together, taking bold steps. The rhetoric does

:08:28.:08:33.

not match the reality. The Queen's Speech is a series of announcements

:08:34.:08:38.

they have already announced. A serious `` series of legislative

:08:39.:08:45.

changes that have already been announced. The shale gas is new. I

:08:46.:08:52.

don't think there will be a massive intake of breath tomorrow. As you

:08:53.:08:58.

said, the reality is they will have to spend the next nine months

:08:59.:09:05.

differentiating themselves. Any radical ideas will come in the

:09:06.:09:10.

manifestoes. It is all not trying to push through new laws GCSEs and a

:09:11.:09:25.

levels are to be abolished. The story is about the watchdog,

:09:26.:09:29.

publishing a list of unusual courses. What are we talking about?

:09:30.:09:40.

It says performing arts. I was wondering if that is what is

:09:41.:09:44.

commonly referred to and young people study now, drama, or

:09:45.:09:50.

something different. A lot of drama courses are very good. Media

:09:51.:09:57.

studies? Environmental studies, applied science, is on the list. My

:09:58.:10:04.

argument is that along with the absolute vital emphasis on the

:10:05.:10:10.

basics, literacy and numerous sea, or, the three Are as, the creative

:10:11.:10:23.

industries is the strength `` three Rs. That is the growth areas. That

:10:24.:10:30.

is where the employment boom is based `` numeracy. If you sacrifice

:10:31.:10:40.

the best bits, we lose the unique selling point. The reality for

:10:41.:10:46.

students now, when they are facing ?9,000 of tuition fees per year,

:10:47.:10:55.

they need a job. You are right, the creative industries is huge. Things

:10:56.:11:00.

like design! Architecture. It is as strong as English or history. I

:11:01.:11:07.

sympathise with young people, who I don't count myself among, they must

:11:08.:11:15.

be looking at ?27,000 in fees. You are going to want to be an engineer

:11:16.:11:20.

or get into the Russell group of universities to get as much

:11:21.:11:24.

leveraging can to get a job. It is tough. That is why this thing is

:11:25.:11:30.

called Stem subjects. The idea is to change it to steam subjects,

:11:31.:11:36.

science, technology, art and maths. OK. The i, top right, a picture they

:11:37.:11:49.

are. Incredibly iconic `` there. A photo of Tiananmen Square. The

:11:50.:11:57.

Communist Party attempt to bring a measure of democracy in then. The

:11:58.:12:01.

people campaigning on the streets, certainly. It is still entrenched,

:12:02.:12:09.

even more than it was then. This is probably the most significant moment

:12:10.:12:14.

in China's modern history. It was the moment which the dark side of

:12:15.:12:18.

the Communist Party, the world spotlight was on it. I would argue

:12:19.:12:26.

that it actually ushered in a period of capital and capitalist reform.

:12:27.:12:34.

The Chinese population are still very constrained by the government.

:12:35.:12:37.

I read something in the FT about students being allowed to go to the

:12:38.:12:45.

internet for 60 hours per month. They must sign in with a password

:12:46.:12:48.

when they use the intranet so that they can track them. The two track

:12:49.:13:00.

process of political control and economic liberalisation has

:13:01.:13:02.

transformed the lives of Chinese people. Though I am sure there must

:13:03.:13:08.

be many who live there and who would like the economic liberalisation to

:13:09.:13:14.

move into the political sphere. Given the size of the country, that

:13:15.:13:18.

increase in wealth has only affected a small percentage. There are

:13:19.:13:23.

thousands of demonstrations in the countryside every single day. I

:13:24.:13:30.

remember when I was based in Berlin when the Wall came down and when

:13:31.:13:34.

communism ended in Russia. I wasn't in China. There is the assumption in

:13:35.:13:43.

the West that you introduced Dunn introduce capitalism and get rid of

:13:44.:13:47.

authoritarianism. The idea that free markets and free societies go

:13:48.:13:51.

together. 25 years in the past has proven the opposite. The Chinese

:13:52.:13:55.

model proves that you can buy people off. The big thing, as long as, you

:13:56.:14:03.

have the growth rates that continue to be sustained. Where you see the

:14:04.:14:13.

`` protests in China, where people are worried they are getting paid

:14:14.:14:17.

enough, you have a swathe of middle`class Chinese who have lots

:14:18.:14:24.

of disposable income. Which we finally, the Guardian. `` which we

:14:25.:14:31.

want them to spend here. D`Day commemorations. As we go rummaging

:14:32.:14:38.

for the Guardian. They call them the greatest generation. Some of these

:14:39.:14:45.

men who tried to reclaim Europe and were successful. Amazing portraits

:14:46.:14:53.

of these old men. I wonder how many are left. These guys are in their

:14:54.:15:02.

90s. It has been a funny one. The commemorations for the First World

:15:03.:15:09.

War, sorry, the Second World War. How much do you celebrate it? And,

:15:10.:15:15.

how much do you mark the occasion, but not celebrate because of the

:15:16.:15:20.

huge amounts of losses? Loss of life. It is important for younger

:15:21.:15:26.

people who don't remember this, while they are still around, it is

:15:27.:15:33.

still living history. It has become almost, like the First World War,

:15:34.:15:37.

not forgotten history but, definitely in the history books,

:15:38.:15:43.

whereas this is live still. Lee that is the correct point. If you think

:15:44.:15:49.

at the commemoration at the start of the First World War and compare this

:15:50.:15:53.

to the 70th anniversary of the D`Day commemorations, there is a

:15:54.:15:56.

difference in terms of whether it is a piece of history. All, whether it

:15:57.:16:01.

is a lived experience. The analysis of the First World War is changing

:16:02.:16:07.

as a result of that. Don't they look great? It is a great picture. We

:16:08.:16:13.

have to come to an end. Many thanks. Enjoy your holiday. I hope

:16:14.:16:22.

you come back ground. Just for four days I will have you no. Stay now,

:16:23.:16:30.

it is time for Sportsday. `` stay with us on BBC News.
