had their first gold in the pool and we will have all the drama from the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
velodrome as Joanna Rowsell won her first major title. That is coming up | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
in 15 minutes. Welcome to our look ahead to what | :00:00. | :00:22. | |
the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
With me are Matthew Syed from the Times and Tony Grew, Parliamentary | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Many of the front pages are already in. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
The Mail says police will seize the mobile phones | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
of every driver involved in a car crash, as part of a crackdown | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
have had their day" according to the new Planning Minister, | :00:43. | :00:51. | |
He says almost half the population is now in favour of new housing. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
The Financial Times marks the economy returning to the size it | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
The Guardian reports that expensive housing developments in London are | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
segregating less well`off tenants from wealthier homeowners by forcing | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
The Times says the US is urgently investigating reports Islamist | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
militants in Iraq have got hold of surface`to`air missiles which | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
Major airlines are still flying over the conflict zone, | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
The Express claims that a group of suspected illegal migrants have | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
been arrested for trying to sneak out of the UK. | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
Let's begin with the Financial Times. They have a pretty graph for | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
us to look at. Longest slump in a century ends, Osborne hails | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
milestone, Tories by election pay`out, Miliband looks at image | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
politics. It depends whether you believe this that this tax, if I can | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
say the word, because some people are casting doubt on whether we are | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
out of the woods `` the statistics. We are, it has taken us a long time | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
to get here. I believe them. The question is not whether the | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
statistics say people have come out of the recession but does life | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
you'll better for people, that will decide if the Tories can hold on. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
Labour's desertion is that while we may be out of a recession and things | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
are getting better, that cost of living squeeze is still going on and | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
people do not feel things are going better for them in their lives. How | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
confident the electorate are in May 2015 will be a factor in how people | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
vote. The key statistic that Tony has missed, although it is correct | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
the economy is slightly eager than it was when the recession first hit, | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
because the population has grown, GDP per person or income per capita | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
has gone down by 4%, and that is one reason people feel squeezed. Looking | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
forward, it is well established among forecasters that the economy | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
will grow faster in the UK than any other major economy by 3.2% this | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
year. That presents Labour with a challenge, even on competence Tories | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
are scoring higher than Labour and that is a strong indicator of how | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
people vote. Labour are saying it is not as good as it might seem but | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
they have to start articulating a more positive vision of how they are | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
trusted with the economy, how they will build faster growth and build | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
the economy. I was lucky enough to be at the Labour international | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
Holocene forum last Sunday, and Ed Miliband gave a speech saying they | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
are not going back to new Labour but they are not going back to old new | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
Labour, and they are aware that fiscal confidence is key, they have | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
to convince the voters they will not have a convinced of the tax and | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
spend policies. You could argue about that, borrow and spend | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
policies. They had that last time around, borrowing to invest and then | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
they breached it. I'm not sure all the markets will take those | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
assertions seriously. If you look at the fact the economy is back to what | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
it was, economic growth has been pretty much zero over the last six | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
years. Between the second century ET and 1800, global economic growth was | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
zero. The reason it began picking up was because of the Industrial | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
Revolution and market economics. They have driven economic growth and | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
that is that rain Tony Blair took new Labour onto, he talked about | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
growth and tax efficiency and that resonated and made sense. In terms | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
of contact, 200 years is not bad. To be fair it was 2000 years, we went | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
back to BC there. I don't think you can blame Ed Miliband for that and | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Tony Blair was lucky to come in as the economy was starting to bloom. | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
If you're lucky enough to comment when the economy is booming you have | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
a lot of money to spend on and schools, like David Cameron you | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
comment touring a recession you have to have a focus. Growth is the key | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
economic issue. Without growth you were not have the money to spend and | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
that is that rain Labour need to get off too. Staying with the FT, lunch | :05:28. | :05:37. | |
`` Russia launches Mack attack. As a headline goes, that is pretty good. | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
The West is invading the `` threatening further sanctions | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
against Russia because of Ukraine and Moscow is hitting back at the | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
cheeseburgers. They are saying the hygiene standards of the products | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
sold by McDonald's do not meet Russian standards. What is brilliant | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
is that this is supposed to be an independent Russia consumer | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
protection agency and one gets the impression it may not be quite as | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
independent as one may hope. This agency banned Latvian sprats during | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
a real dispute with reader, Georgian wine during another war and Polish | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
port, so it may just be that it is a political ruse, am I being cynical? | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
No. But it struck me that it is 25 years since McDonald's began | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
operating in Russia and I am told this was an iconic image, Russians | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
queueing in wet square to go to McDonald's. `` in red Square. You | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
worry they might be moving slightly backwards. A big Mack and fries to | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
anyone who can pronounce the name of the agency correctly. That is not | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
bad. I like the accent. Do I get the fries? I have thrown myself there | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
with me terrible joke. I fear ending up in welfare says Esther McVey. | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
This is the former TV presenter who is very telegenic, as they argue, | :07:17. | :07:26. | |
part of the raft of women brought in during the reshuffle and she says | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
she feared one day she could fall on hard times and end up on benefits. | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
This is a big change in tone. I am still smiling at raft of women, | :07:38. | :07:47. | |
there was a lot about that. Floating on the Thames. There was speculation | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
she would be promoted to Cabinet, she can attend Cabinet but she is | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
still a Minister of State and we were told she would do be doing more | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
TV and being the face of the party. She is a woman from Liverpool, she | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
looks different to the Tories and now it seems she is sending out a | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
different message to her boss Iain Duncan Smith. One area in which the | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
Tories are keen to shore up their image is women voters, so it is | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
interesting Esther McVey saying she fears having to go on benefits and I | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
suspect that is up here a lot of women will share and that is quite | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
she is putting out this message. I agree with a lot of that but I think | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
her point is a good one, in a dynamic economy where people have to | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
change jobs, we should not vilify people on benefits. That has been | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
the tone for a long time under Iain Duncan Smith. All of us at some | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
stage may have to go on benefits. And none of us is very far away from | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
needing to go on benefits. Especially in the media, and she is | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
saying we should think of it as a way of nurturing people back into | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
work, and that may resonate with people who were scared about losing | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
their job. It has moved from morality, Iain Duncan Smith's | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
argument was that it was immoral to leave people on benefits and now it | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
is about empathy and what people may consider dominant traits. `` | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
feminine traits. Femininity, so be a male construct. At million pound | :09:29. | :09:37. | |
boost to the taxpayer through RBS. Its state has surged through ?3.3 | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
billion. We paid ?43 billion for this so I am not sure how excited we | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
should be. 81% of the bank is owned by the taxpayer. We bought the | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
shares at ?500 and they are still only at 360 4p. `` 500 p. Maybe we | :09:56. | :10:04. | |
will get our money back one day but Matthew may know more about this | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
than me because he has more investments. I don't have shares in | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
RBS. You rate taxpayer, you do. I do, but I seem to remember that the | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
way the bank were structured, they split it into a good bag and bad | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
bank, so the toxic elements were in the bad bank and it seems to have | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
brought to an extent. I agree it hasn't come back to its 2008 | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
valuation that the amount the taxpayer is in for is significantly | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
reduced. It may be worth saying this is a good news story. It says it is | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
good news that after the hard work of the British people, that is a | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
different story. Let's move on to the Daily Mail. Police to seize | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
mobile is in every car crash. Crackdown in calls and texting at | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
the wheel. This seems like a sensible thing to do. Totally, and | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
every time I am cut up on the road and look at the person, it seems to | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
be someone on the phone so it seems a rational thing to do to deter faux | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
news at the wheel. Before coming on I took a look at the academic | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
evidence, and a lot of the weight put on trying to deter the use of | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
mobile phones is based on a 1997 study which may have been superseded | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
by a study in California three or four days ago, where they looked at | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
the change in Californian laws after 2000 but `` mobile phones were | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
banned and they do not think the ban has had much of an effect on | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
motoring safety. That sounds very counterintuitive. I also looked at a | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
meta` studies. What is a meta` study? It collates evidence from | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
different studies to get a more robust finding and they also didn't | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
seem to think, I find this... Evidentially it is unnecessary but | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
they will do it anyway. It is fair to say it is ambiguous. I was at a | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
lunch with the Transport Secretary. He gets to so many places. Patrick | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
McLoughlin was saying that one death on the roads is too many, but the UK | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
has done well in cutting the amount of deaths from drunk driving, people | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
not wearing seat belts, but he was worried about the rise of incidents | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
and people being killed in accidents because of mobile phones. This is | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
not just coming from Meta data or politicians, this is the police | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
saying they want this to happen and there is talk of increasing penalty | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
points. I am not sure how practical it will be for police to seize every | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
mobile phones but I think it is a move in the right direction. to | :12:56. | :13:12. | |
something that is being stopped from happening in New York, according to | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
this article. The mayor of his `` of New York has | :13:16. | :13:25. | |
set this. This has been going on in London for a wild. I'm a people that | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
live in tower blocks were the first eight floors... Councils. Building | :13:29. | :13:41. | |
houses for various reasons. Developers are building houses, and | :13:42. | :13:56. | |
what comes from that is as segregation, the apartheid and | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
housing. The article says there is a justification for this from the | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
point of view of the property developer. What they're talking is a | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
single development with two different doors, but what has | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
happened far more often is having the prestige development and then | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
building the social housing in a different part of London come on | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
that is a different part of London, two different sites, but what the | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
developers have responded to, not unexpectedly, if they have the same | :14:27. | :14:34. | |
insurance, glass, slick, carpets, the service charge for those in | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
social housing would be far higher, so they say they are doing it to | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
mitigate the cost of the service, and they would say that. It is | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
really going again social cohesion, that this policy was supposed to | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
create. We will come back again with Tony and Matthew and lots more | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
statistics at half past 11. Stay with us, because coming up next, we | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
will go over the day's sports. Hello and welcome to | :15:06. | :15:30. | |
Commonwealth Games Sportsday. | :15:31. | :15:42. |
