Maria Sharapova get through to the next round. `` Novak Djokovic and. | :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. | :16:31. | :16:32. |
