of England has outlined ways to call some parts of the UK housing market.

:00:00.:00:00.

There will be new affordability tests on mortgages and limits on

:00:00.:00:00.

loans. Hallow and Wellcome for our

:00:00.:00:23.

lookahead what the papers will bring us tomorrow. Joining us this evening

:00:24.:00:28.

is the political commentator Joe Phillips and the Guardian columnist.

:00:29.:00:33.

Thank you for joining us. Let's whip through some of the front pages. In

:00:34.:00:39.

the Daily Express, a routine smear test could tell by the women are at

:00:40.:00:43.

risk from developing breast cancer. EU leaders are questioning the

:00:44.:00:48.

lifestyle of the man expected to be the next European Commission

:00:49.:00:51.

president, Jean`Claude Juncker. The Metro leaves on the abuse by Jimmy

:00:52.:00:56.

Savile. The Guardian also focuses on Jimmy Savile and questions over who

:00:57.:01:00.

was responsible for allowing him access to NHS hospitals. In the

:01:01.:01:05.

times, it says the population in Britain is the fastest`growing in

:01:06.:01:09.

the European Union. The financial Times focuses on the allegations

:01:10.:01:14.

facing Barclays macro finally, this is the Independent which says that

:01:15.:01:18.

Britain is in the midst of a green energy revolution. Good evening to

:01:19.:01:24.

you both. A very tough read for many readers of newspapers tomorrow. It

:01:25.:01:27.

does feature on the front pages, such as the Guardian. The headline,

:01:28.:01:35.

Jimmy Savile, rain of abuse across the NHS exposed. Romance looking at

:01:36.:01:40.

what we have learned today from the investigation. `` very much looking.

:01:41.:01:47.

It does take it forward. What we know has been catalogued and

:01:48.:01:50.

reported it in detail in many of the papers. It is also... This is

:01:51.:01:55.

reflecting on the political angle. Obviously, Jeremy Hunt, the Health

:01:56.:02:00.

Secretary, made the statement in the House of Commons in the afternoon.

:02:01.:02:05.

There is a sense about looking for responsibility. That is the question

:02:06.:02:13.

that a lot of people are asking. How could this have happened? Who was to

:02:14.:02:16.

blame? In a way, that has just been answered in the clip you have just

:02:17.:02:20.

shown. What is interesting is that if we know Currie, who was the

:02:21.:02:24.

minister in charge of Gary Medel out, and Jimmy Savile was accused of

:02:25.:02:29.

a lot of incidents at Broadmoor, she is quoted in the Guardian saying, I

:02:30.:02:36.

wish we had never seen hide nor hair of him will stop `` of him. There is

:02:37.:02:51.

also an independent enquiry being called by the Labour Party. Ken

:02:52.:02:54.

Clarke was Health Secretary at the time. I am not sure there is a lot

:02:55.:02:59.

to be gained by trying to score political points. This very much

:03:00.:03:07.

refers to the BBC programme, Panorama. They got access to

:03:08.:03:13.

paperwork at the time as well. Surely lessons can be learned. Of

:03:14.:03:17.

course they can. It is bigger than trying to say it was this government

:03:18.:03:21.

or that government all this political party or that political

:03:22.:03:25.

party. This is only the front page. A lot more coverage inside. There

:03:26.:03:30.

are police and other people involved as well. I am not defending

:03:31.:03:37.

politicians. Let's not use it because it is real stories about

:03:38.:03:40.

real people who have suffered really badly. Let's not turn it into

:03:41.:03:47.

political football. What Jeremy Hunt said in the House of Commons today,

:03:48.:03:53.

if it tells us anything, this is about people who are victims of

:03:54.:03:56.

abuse is not being listened to and not being felt that they would be

:03:57.:04:03.

believed. I kind of belief you. It should not become a party political

:04:04.:04:08.

battle but I think politics should obviously become part of it. People

:04:09.:04:11.

will want to know how the political structure has allowed this to

:04:12.:04:16.

happen. That is one of the reasons. They will want to know the children

:04:17.:04:24.

are safe. Of course they do. They also want to know the institutions

:04:25.:04:29.

will keep their children safe. Here, we are focusing on Edwina Currie,

:04:30.:04:35.

who signed off on the ability of Jimmy Savile to be in these

:04:36.:04:39.

hospitals. I think people will want a level of accountability, not least

:04:40.:04:42.

because what we know and what is coming up is so gruesome that people

:04:43.:04:47.

feel they need to tribute blame. That might not be a good thing. They

:04:48.:04:51.

also want to make sure there are mechanisms in place to make sure

:04:52.:04:54.

this will not happen again. Inevitably, there will be

:04:55.:04:58.

repercussions individuals and we will need to find out who did what

:04:59.:05:03.

along the line. You do not think this is the end of it. Absolutely

:05:04.:05:11.

not. I think we will have to investigate further. We must be

:05:12.:05:16.

careful about how we do it. There have been a lot of changes already.

:05:17.:05:21.

There have. The details of the story today are so gruesome it is a bit of

:05:22.:05:24.

a challenge for newspapers to work out how to deal with it. Let's have

:05:25.:05:29.

a look at the Metro, just to pick up on that. The headline is pretty

:05:30.:05:36.

stark. The Jimmy Savile sex files. DJ abuse children says the NHS.

:05:37.:05:42.

Papers like the Metro are by a lot of people. They are left on trains

:05:43.:05:48.

as well. It is a difficult story. Do you think it has been tackled

:05:49.:05:52.

sensitively? Not as sensitively as it could have been. That is the

:05:53.:05:57.

point. It is very difficult for newspapers to compete with online,

:05:58.:06:03.

instant stuff. I do worry, and I'm not saying he should `` kids should

:06:04.:06:09.

be wrapped in cop walks and protected from terrible things but

:06:10.:06:13.

the Metro lies around, discarded on buses and trains across the country.

:06:14.:06:17.

Your son or daughter is going to school tomorrow will pick it up.

:06:18.:06:23.

There is a bit too much detail. This is what editing is all about.

:06:24.:06:27.

Editors and picture editors had to decide every day which picture they

:06:28.:06:30.

use, whether they use a very gruesome picture whether they have a

:06:31.:06:33.

less gruesome picture, whether they crop something so it is not quite so

:06:34.:06:40.

within the copy as well. The problem is that the story here is the

:06:41.:06:44.

detail. We know the outline of the sort of thing that Jimmy Savile was

:06:45.:06:48.

up to. Here it is a detail. It is doubly difficult when they are

:06:49.:06:51.

deciding what to put into the newspaper when the stories about the

:06:52.:06:55.

detail of it. How much detail do you run? A lot of kids will see the news

:06:56.:07:00.

on television and see it in magazines and newspapers,

:07:01.:07:02.

particularly in papers like the Metro. That is a good thing. You

:07:03.:07:06.

want your children to be aware of the dangers. You want your children

:07:07.:07:14.

to know it is an issue in society. There is also the sense of, it is

:07:15.:07:17.

the balance that has ever been that, with editors on radio and

:07:18.:07:25.

television. How do you tell a story with not sensationalising it of

:07:26.:07:32.

terrifyingly quits out of you? Programmes like news and do tackle

:07:33.:07:37.

issues like that but it is how. I have not seen new sound since John

:07:38.:07:40.

Craven was doing it but that is another story. It would be

:07:41.:07:44.

interesting to note how they cover it. As you said, they covered

:07:45.:07:49.

Michael Jackson. Yes, it did cover Michael Jackson. The Daily Telegraph

:07:50.:07:56.

leads on a very different story. It was looking at the European Union

:07:57.:08:04.

and the goings`on in Brussels. It does not look like they are all

:08:05.:08:09.

falling out with each other, they are watching poppies being dropped.

:08:10.:08:13.

David Cameron alone and isolated in Brussels over his stand over

:08:14.:08:18.

Jean`Claude Juncker. It sounds like he wants to be. I think the look

:08:19.:08:23.

that Angela Merkel was giving him, if looks could kill, he would not be

:08:24.:08:28.

standing up straight. I thought, this is surely a joke. Is this

:08:29.:08:33.

absolutely the last ditch attempt that David Cameron is trying to

:08:34.:08:39.

discredit Jean`Claude Juncker? He has put himself in a corner. He is

:08:40.:08:46.

isolated. Whether or not Jean`Claude Juncker 's drinking is a problem.

:08:47.:08:50.

Apparently he has cognac for breakfast. That was not unknown for

:08:51.:08:56.

Churchill to have a drink before sunset. Is that the best they can

:08:57.:09:02.

come up with? Why has he put himself into this unnecessary corner and is

:09:03.:09:05.

actually looking a little bit ` and he has not had a good week `

:09:06.:09:21.

isolated. I'd our political editor `` our political editor said, there

:09:22.:09:28.

is a much wider picture about this. If he thinks Jean`Claude Juncker is

:09:29.:09:36.

not the right man, how has he gone about trying to stop him? Given the

:09:37.:09:42.

verdict on the EU that people pass at the last election, maybe he is

:09:43.:09:46.

not the right man. We hear that privately leaders in other countries

:09:47.:09:50.

think about. Then you come to the second issue. How did David Cameron

:09:51.:09:54.

go about trying to persuade them? There are chickens coming home to

:09:55.:09:59.

roost. It seems as if he does not have the relationship with the other

:10:00.:10:04.

EU leaders that would allow him to make a perfectly `` a perfectly

:10:05.:10:08.

reasonable point. I tag are you saying he is looking weak? If you

:10:09.:10:16.

detach yourself from Europe and how it really works, you need to engage

:10:17.:10:21.

with Europe. You cannot do it. That is what has happened. Dangerous

:10:22.:10:27.

times. We are going to stay with the Daily Telegraph. We are going to

:10:28.:10:33.

stay with the Daily Telegraph and rather exciting news, particularly

:10:34.:10:38.

for women. Cancer in general, women are offered hope of a blood test

:10:39.:10:45.

that can predict the risk of breast cancer. There is some real meat to

:10:46.:10:54.

this story. This research has been done At University College in

:10:55.:10:58.

London. What they have done is identified the DNA, as you say, the

:10:59.:11:04.

genetic likelihood of breast cancer, and they think they can develop

:11:05.:11:09.

within the next five years or so, a pretty simple blood test that could

:11:10.:11:13.

determine whether you are likely to get it. And whether you are likely

:11:14.:11:18.

to die from it. The severity of it. That is really important and there

:11:19.:11:27.

is very much a lot of publicity around Angelina Jolie, who decided

:11:28.:11:35.

to have a double mastectomy. That is something that people often talk

:11:36.:11:39.

about. This is a good news story. The Daily Express is also covering

:11:40.:11:40.

it. It's about striking the right

:11:41.:11:59.

emphasis and making sure you are not running too far ahead of what the

:12:00.:12:02.

research actually says, and especially something like this, it

:12:03.:12:10.

really is important that we don't make a cure`all for these things

:12:11.:12:15.

seem more hopeful than it really is. It is a job for editors. The Daily

:12:16.:12:22.

Express obviously runs a lot of health stories on its front pages

:12:23.:12:28.

but it has a responsibility to think carefully. We have got enough time

:12:29.:12:40.

to look at the times. It probably won't surprise many people that has

:12:41.:12:45.

been put down to immigration, but also increased birth rates as well.

:12:46.:12:54.

It is 64 million people, so we are the second most populist in Europe

:12:55.:12:59.

after Germany. The annual increase is just under 500,000. But it is

:13:00.:13:10.

immigration, births, what does it tell you? We are a very overcrowded,

:13:11.:13:18.

little island. With immigration, that causes higher birth rates, but

:13:19.:13:23.

this will be interesting politically as well because the government have

:13:24.:13:30.

been quite anti immigration intone, but now they know they will not meet

:13:31.:13:36.

their caps, they will probably have to sing a much kinder chin about

:13:37.:13:42.

immigration and maybe there are positive effects.
