:00:00. > :00:00.away. We will all see some sunshine. In the sunshine it should feel OK.

:00:00. > :00:19.Much more detail online. Welcome to our look ahead to what

:00:20. > :00:29.the papers will bring us tomorrow. With me is Joe `` Jo Phillips and

:00:30. > :00:33.Hugh Muir. Let us have a look at what some of the front pages are

:00:34. > :00:36.bringing us. The Express says a routine test could soon predict

:00:37. > :00:42.whether women are at risk of developing breast cancer. EU leaders

:00:43. > :00:45.are questioning the lifestyle of the man expected to be the next

:00:46. > :00:49.commission president. The Metro reports on a Jimmy

:00:50. > :00:55.Savile's abuse. The Guardian also focuses on Jimmy

:00:56. > :00:59.Savile and who was responsible. This is the Times. Britain's

:01:00. > :01:04.population is the fastest`growing in the European Union and is expected

:01:05. > :01:09.to increase more than 74 million in a quarter of a century.

:01:10. > :01:13.The FT focuses on the allegations facing Barclays.

:01:14. > :01:17.And the Independent says that Britain is in the middle of a green

:01:18. > :01:21.energy revolution is. The Daily Mail says that British energy companies

:01:22. > :01:27.have seen their profits soar over the past five years.

:01:28. > :01:35.We are going to start with that one. Making ?101 profit per family per

:01:36. > :01:43.year. Under a lot of scrutiny, major firms. Yes. It is not even the ?101

:01:44. > :01:50.profit, it is 1000% increase in the last five years. Anyone who pays for

:01:51. > :01:57.their electricity will not the surprised. At last, an enquiry has

:01:58. > :02:03.been announced. Jim says it will have an enquiry. `` the regulatory

:02:04. > :02:10.body. We do not know when it is going to report or if it will report

:02:11. > :02:13.before the general election. Is it going to say anything other than the

:02:14. > :02:24.fact that we know we are being ripped off? Energy companies argued

:02:25. > :02:27.the cost of producing electricity and gas is increasing all the time.

:02:28. > :02:34.They are developing new, alternative energies. They have the most

:02:35. > :02:39.appalling credibility problem. People do not believe what they say.

:02:40. > :02:46.People think their bills go up, but never notice if they go down. This

:02:47. > :02:52.is bashing the energy companies and it is a game that we can all play.

:02:53. > :03:01.All companies will see advantage in bashing the energy companies. Ed

:03:02. > :03:07.Miliband will seize upon this. That has been one of his main policy

:03:08. > :03:14.successes so far. Other parties have had to try and follow him down the

:03:15. > :03:17.road. I suspect in the next few weeks we will see a lot of the

:03:18. > :03:27.parties bringing a lot of attention to the energy companies. Do they

:03:28. > :03:33.think this is such a central issue to so many people? There are so few

:03:34. > :03:37.people that politicians can talk about that impact directly on the

:03:38. > :03:46.voters. This is one of them. Every voter is affected. Politicians find

:03:47. > :03:51.this a good way to connect. There is not much consensus. Nobody

:03:52. > :03:55.disagrees. That is why you will see which of them complained the

:03:56. > :03:57.hardest. It does make you wonder whether, if this is a nice

:03:58. > :04:15.pre`election ploy? I had an interesting chat with a man

:04:16. > :04:19.who works for an energy company. He says we are using up reserves of gas

:04:20. > :04:24.and oil. These companies have to find an alternative. And with all

:04:25. > :04:29.the unrest happening in the Middle East and Russia, it is inevitable

:04:30. > :04:35.that we have to do something. And look to either saving energy or,

:04:36. > :04:41.this is a segue into the next story. Indeed. The gentleman I was

:04:42. > :04:46.referring to, his job is to find gas and oil and he is running out of

:04:47. > :04:49.places to find it. Now they are looking at green power, which

:04:50. > :04:58.features on the front page of the Independent. Britain sees the light,

:04:59. > :05:05.says the paper. This is staggering. Up 43% in a single year. Amazing. I

:05:06. > :05:10.think that would surprise a lot of people. Green energy has very much

:05:11. > :05:19.gone off the agenda, politically. Who wants to talk about it, because

:05:20. > :05:22.it is toxic? Who wants a wind farm near them. Sections of the

:05:23. > :05:26.Conservative party almost have it as a token of faith that we don't want

:05:27. > :05:35.any more windfarms. The new talk about the impact upon rule Britain.

:05:36. > :05:39.`` rural. How does it benefit politicians to even talk about it?

:05:40. > :05:44.It comes back to the point where if we can provide our own energy and if

:05:45. > :05:48.we can do it, then we aren't dependent on the `` for the reasons

:05:49. > :05:57.we just said, dependent on the Middle East or Russia for oil. That

:05:58. > :06:02.is able to argument. Don't forget they are offshore windfarms. There

:06:03. > :06:10.is a huge one near London and around Scotland. But your cynical point of

:06:11. > :06:14.view, that governments will focus on this type of thing to try to win

:06:15. > :06:17.over votes doesn't quite stack up across the Conservatives have said

:06:18. > :06:25.they aren't going to expand windfarms if they win the next

:06:26. > :06:34.election. It's not going to have any renewed enthusiasm is for windfarms

:06:35. > :06:43.or renewables. The Conservatives will look at the prices. That will

:06:44. > :06:47.be their electoral cell. You are saying there is public support for

:06:48. > :06:53.renewable energy but not a wind farm. `` electoral sell. I think

:06:54. > :06:58.this is interesting. There is another story to this, the amount of

:06:59. > :07:03.subsidy that has gone into this. I think there is this central benefit

:07:04. > :07:18.of windfarms and energy that we create in this country, which is

:07:19. > :07:23.jobs and reduce `` the Juve `` rejuvenation. If we can say we have

:07:24. > :07:26.one fifth of the energy, if this is doing something about unemployment

:07:27. > :07:30.and the social capital in areas that I think that would be an even better

:07:31. > :07:38.story. Let's move on. Staying with the Independent. The headline, poor

:07:39. > :07:44.white pupils need extra help with English. This is off the back of

:07:45. > :07:47.Ofsted's announcement last week, that they felt schools were letting

:07:48. > :07:53.down white working class children. That they should be entitled to the

:07:54. > :08:03.same kind of language support as people who have English as a second

:08:04. > :08:06.language. The paper quotes that. What this really shows is that we

:08:07. > :08:17.don't really know what the problem is with the white working class.

:08:18. > :08:21.Last week, the problem was the ``, the suggestion was it was poor

:08:22. > :08:24.parenting. This week it's that they are and keeping up with pupils who

:08:25. > :08:32.have English as a second language. The people who work in schools...

:08:33. > :08:35.You recognise the phenomenon where some migrant children come in with

:08:36. > :08:39.no English at all and very quickly get the English and very quickly

:08:40. > :08:44.leapfrog some of those white working class children. The phenomenon is

:08:45. > :08:49.clearly they are. We know it is there. I don't get the sense that we

:08:50. > :08:54.really know why it is happening. There's a lot of flailing around and

:08:55. > :08:57.different theories. The London figures didn't quite stack up with

:08:58. > :09:03.the rest of the country as well. Especially in London. What came out

:09:04. > :09:09.of the report last week, to a certain extent underlined by this,

:09:10. > :09:13.is the fact that there are many parts of Britain, especially the

:09:14. > :09:16.provinces and coastal towns, where there aren't the resources and not

:09:17. > :09:25.least of all it's not very easy to attract good teachers. In actual

:09:26. > :09:32.fact, there was report yesterday, that a lot of kids are doing better

:09:33. > :09:37.if they are a more mixed ethnic and language `based groups of children.

:09:38. > :09:43.Actually, money and resources have been given to inner cities and so

:09:44. > :09:49.maybe it's a moral. Tesco's features on the front page of the Guardian.

:09:50. > :09:55.It owns enough land to fit 15,000 new homes, homes that are very much

:09:56. > :09:58.needed. I right in thinking Tesco's buys a lot of land near supermarkets

:09:59. > :10:06.to try to stop the competition from building near them? They do huge

:10:07. > :10:10.amounts of land. `` do own. We are talking about the same number of

:10:11. > :10:16.homes that is proposed for an area in Kent, the new garden city. Given

:10:17. > :10:20.we talked in the last lot about this population explosion, and we all

:10:21. > :10:27.know about the house price bubble, unless you are Eric Pickles, there

:10:28. > :10:32.is a shortage of housing. Tesco's is sitting on this land. What are they

:10:33. > :10:40.going to do? This ties in with the Labour Party's idea, you can't sit

:10:41. > :10:43.on it. Use it or lose it. That's a policy that yet to be fleshed out

:10:44. > :10:52.all worked out. But it will make people think, hang on a minute, how

:10:53. > :10:55.does this stack up? This story is about Tesco's but other supermarkets

:10:56. > :11:00.in particular have gone out to buy areas of land to make sure that

:11:01. > :11:06.competitors can't build out of town supermarkets close to tears. Some

:11:07. > :11:16.new supermarkets do have flats above them. `` close to theirs. That can

:11:17. > :11:20.happen. But when we are in a situation where we need more houses,

:11:21. > :11:26.where house prices rise because we don't have enough... We don't have

:11:27. > :11:30.the supplier, I think people will get angry about this sort of thing

:11:31. > :11:35.and they should get angry. There is a disparity between what politicians

:11:36. > :11:40.say, we need more houses, it doesn't happen and if it's a matter of

:11:41. > :11:49.getting the land why do they just do it? But they still have to apply for

:11:50. > :11:54.planning. We do need more houses because there is a population

:11:55. > :11:57.surge. The Times reports on Britain being the fastest population surge

:11:58. > :12:04.in the EU. Immigration is partly to blame. That may surprise people.

:12:05. > :12:08.Also at increased birth rate. They are talking about 74 million people

:12:09. > :12:13.in 25 years. The population has grown by 5 million since 2001.

:12:14. > :12:19.That's the same amount as it gained in the 37 years between 1964 and

:12:20. > :12:23.2001. That is astonishing. It is going to put pressure on

:12:24. > :12:32.everything. Schools, hospitals, roads, homes, jobs. What are we

:12:33. > :12:35.going to do? What it will mean is that areas that haven't seen a surge

:12:36. > :12:40.in the population so far, because it hasn't been even in the country, are

:12:41. > :12:45.going to see new people arrive and they will have to get used to that.

:12:46. > :12:48.In somewhere like London, people are used to different faces and

:12:49. > :12:52.languages but that's going to be the case in other parts of the country.

:12:53. > :12:56.I just want to show the picture on the front page of the Times. It's

:12:57. > :13:08.time for celebrity spotting at Wimbledon. Pippa Middleton bear. And

:13:09. > :13:21.her friend, who plays Lady Mary in Downton Abbey. `` Pippa Middleton

:13:22. > :13:34.there. She is grinning. Michelle is looking very serious. Should they be

:13:35. > :13:40.sitting so close together? She is looking a bit toothy, like Suarez!

:13:41. > :13:42.At midnight we will have the latest headlines and more on the shocking

:13:43. > :13:50.reports into the abuse carried out by Jimmy Savile at NHS hospitals.

:13:51. > :13:51.But coming up next, it's time for World Cup
