:00:13. > :00:15.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:16. > :00:18.With me are the political commentator Jo Phillips

:00:19. > :00:23.and Benedicte Paviot, who's the UK correspondent for France 24.

:00:24. > :00:26.Tomorrow's front pages starting with...

:00:27. > :00:28.The Sunday Express says the Portuguese detective who led

:00:29. > :00:31.attempts to find Madeline McCann will release a new book

:00:32. > :00:34.on the investigation, bringing fresh anguish to the family.

:00:35. > :00:39.The Sunday Mail says the BBC will be forbidden to

:00:40. > :00:42.schedule primetime programmes at the same time as its rivals,

:00:43. > :00:45.The Sunday Telegraph also leads with the

:00:46. > :00:48.BBC's Royal Charter, saying the corporation will face more checks

:00:49. > :01:09.The Times says the new Israeli Ambassador to Britain has

:01:10. > :01:14.That's where we start, we are expecting the Charter renewal white

:01:15. > :01:22.paper in the next couple of weeks from the government. Some suggestion

:01:23. > :01:27.as to what might be in it, this is the Sunday mail's take on it. The

:01:28. > :01:33.suggestion that rivals will be allowed to schedule when they want

:01:34. > :01:39.to put programmes on and the BBC will have to move there is. Which is

:01:40. > :01:51.extraordinary. This is clearly a leak because it's not just four or

:01:52. > :01:56.five pages in The Mail on Sunday -- theirs. These are unprecedented new

:01:57. > :02:03.checks. That white paper I gather is due to be published on May the 12.

:02:04. > :02:07.One of the examples that the Mail on Sunday gives is for example Strictly

:02:08. > :02:11.Come Dancing will not be able to be in the prime Saturday night slot

:02:12. > :02:18.because it's causing problems for its rival, X Factor. This is

:02:19. > :02:24.extraordinary. What's the BBC is supposed to do? One of our Twitter

:02:25. > :02:28.viewers, Tim Joshua, says what will happen to the Paper Review, will

:02:29. > :02:35.that have to change because it clashes with another channel? As

:02:36. > :02:39.popular as we are and as much as we love the Paper Review, I don't think

:02:40. > :02:45.we are as big as Britain's Got Talent. I was talking about paper

:02:46. > :02:52.reviews at a similar time on another channel. I see, I'm a bit slow. The

:02:53. > :02:57.BBC shouldn't be promoting itself with trailers. The BBC has been

:02:58. > :03:01.accused in the past at times of being aggressively commercial, and

:03:02. > :03:08.having the advantage of a licence fee, which commercial TV networks

:03:09. > :03:11.don't have. There is an argument, the counterargument is that instead

:03:12. > :03:18.of chasing audiences and going up against X factor and Strictly, you

:03:19. > :03:24.should be spending licence payers' money on high-quality drama and

:03:25. > :03:29.documentaries and things like that -- X Factor. Rather than going for

:03:30. > :03:33.bums on seats and big ratings. Then we have the reverse of that, if the

:03:34. > :03:38.quality isn't good enough then the Sunday Telegraph said the BBC would

:03:39. > :03:41.face checks into how well its programmes are performing. Also

:03:42. > :03:47.there's the suggestion that the next charter will be for an 11 year

:03:48. > :03:51.period. That's the best that came from the House of Lords, taking

:03:52. > :04:01.charter renewal out of sync with the election cycle. It is the second

:04:02. > :04:03.longest ever if this is right, because in 1981 Margaret Thatcher

:04:04. > :04:10.gave the corporation 15 years. It is to break that sync with fixed term

:04:11. > :04:16.parliaments so it stops becoming a political battle. It gives the BBC

:04:17. > :04:19.more certainty over funding, so we know at the moment it is taking on

:04:20. > :04:25.costs from the government in the form of the over 75s licence fee.

:04:26. > :04:30.This will please many who think the BBC has got too big and too

:04:31. > :04:34.imperial. And it's not doing enough distinctive programming and trying

:04:35. > :04:46.to compete too much with whether its ITV or Skype or Amazon in fact. --

:04:47. > :04:49.it's. The 15 year guarantee... 11 year charter renewal. Yes, as the

:04:50. > :04:57.Sunday Telegraph says, that will relieve the anxiety is among BBC

:04:58. > :05:01.executives. It gives some certainty that the anxiety among. It will get

:05:02. > :05:08.a re-examination after five years anyway -- the anxiety among. There

:05:09. > :05:15.are some areas where the BBC is trying to copy too much or have too

:05:16. > :05:21.much rivalry. If all of this is true it does seem like it is coming down

:05:22. > :05:28.to hard on the BBC. Many people would disagree. People do disagree.

:05:29. > :05:33.A lot of other channels across the world do this. Let's stay with the

:05:34. > :05:39.Telegraph. The PM's academy deal for rebels. The idea that all state

:05:40. > :05:46.schools in England should become academies is not going down well in

:05:47. > :05:51.some Conservative seats, Jo. It's not going down anywhere particularly

:05:52. > :05:55.well. It's not going down well with teachers, it's not going down well

:05:56. > :05:59.with local authorities. A report out last week said local authorities...

:06:00. > :06:03.Schools run by local authorities are doing much better. Better than they

:06:04. > :06:09.were? Better than they were and better than academies. The real

:06:10. > :06:13.problem has come for David Cameron in the form that he's facing a

:06:14. > :06:19.massive rebellion. The leader of Kent county council, which still has

:06:20. > :06:26.the 11 plus in fact, was very, very heavily critical the other day. This

:06:27. > :06:29.is about rural schools who could face closure if they're not

:06:30. > :06:34.supported by the local authority. They could close. Then you got the

:06:35. > :06:40.cost of rural transport, the death of small villages and things. It is

:06:41. > :06:44.popular with some, because some parents really want their school to

:06:45. > :06:50.have control over their own budgets? Yes, some do. There's a

:06:51. > :06:57.growing mood... And we see here after Morgan was heckled actually at

:06:58. > :07:01.that conference, that the national association of head teachers has now

:07:02. > :07:05.voted in favour of considering industrial action in protest at all

:07:06. > :07:10.schools becoming academies. They could shut for a day or so. The

:07:11. > :07:13.Observer now, anti-Semitism row could hit poll hopes, Siddique Khan,

:07:14. > :07:19.the Labour candidate for London mayor. It is feasible that Jewish

:07:20. > :07:28.people in London might turn away from the Labour Party. This is an

:07:29. > :07:33.interview with the Observer. With only four days to go until the

:07:34. > :07:37.mayoral action in London, we must remember there are other elections,

:07:38. > :07:42.but this is damaging to Labour. Sadik Khan is worried tens of

:07:43. > :07:49.thousands of Jewish voters in the capital may feel unable to back

:07:50. > :07:52.him. With Ken Livingstone's remarks about Zionism and Hitler, this story

:07:53. > :08:00.has been running since Thursday morning. We have this enquiry led by

:08:01. > :08:03.Shanle chakra party, a very respected director of the Civil

:08:04. > :08:09.Liberties group Liberty, but that will take time. It's interesting

:08:10. > :08:16.because in an interview with the Jewish Chronicle, Khan said Labour

:08:17. > :08:24.had to move away from its unacceptable anti-Jewish stance. He

:08:25. > :08:26.was saying that a year ago. He also took quite happily the endorsement

:08:27. > :08:32.of Ken Livingstone when he was standing to beam Labour's mayoral

:08:33. > :08:38.candidate in the London elections. That to be. If it runs for this many

:08:39. > :08:45.days it has become the story, as Alistair Campbell said, and has

:08:46. > :08:50.become the centre of it -- to be. Staying with the Observer, the UK in

:08:51. > :08:54.the throes of a housing crisis. That's alarming in a country like

:08:55. > :08:58.this were four in ten say they don't believe they will ever own a home,

:08:59. > :09:02.it's a bit of a national obsession, which must look ridiculous in France

:09:03. > :09:10.from times. Certainly very different because in France really you

:09:11. > :09:18.rent... Some people buy but the custom is to rent. It does seem

:09:19. > :09:22.somewhat of an obsession. It's very worrying, it's clearly a housing

:09:23. > :09:25.crisis, it's been important at the last general election and it is

:09:26. > :09:32.certainly very important there is certainly very important there's no

:09:33. > :09:36.doubt in London. It is overpriced and overcrowded. So many governments

:09:37. > :09:41.have said they know the need to tackle it, not just this one but

:09:42. > :09:46.before it the coalition and labour, it's an issue of supply and aren't.

:09:47. > :09:49.It has become a crisis but the Guardian and the Observer are

:09:50. > :09:54.obsessed with house prices, in the way that the Daily Express used to

:09:55. > :09:59.be, and to a certain extent this is a London centric storage. But London

:10:00. > :10:03.is the capital of England, and you are looking into a problem now that

:10:04. > :10:08.isn't so much about buying a house or getting on the ladder, it's the

:10:09. > :10:14.astronomical cost of private rent -- a London centric story. You've got a

:10:15. > :10:21.triple whammy, no housing and the right to buy council housing. You

:10:22. > :10:25.have council houses going up a staggering rate. House prices as

:10:26. > :10:33.well. No government did anything to stop the buy to let boom. We do have

:10:34. > :10:37.helped to buy, we have helped to buy ices where the government will

:10:38. > :10:46.contribute to savings and the shared ownership idea. -- ISAs. Sometimes

:10:47. > :10:51.it's not as difficult as the media would imply to get onto the housing

:10:52. > :10:56.ladder. That's right. It does seem to be a real London problem and it's

:10:57. > :10:59.a serious London problem because the workers can no longer afford on

:11:00. > :11:09.their meagre salaries to live in London. Or even on a fairly decent

:11:10. > :11:14.salary by national standards. Sunday Times, MPs summoned the no green

:11:15. > :11:23.from Monaco after the BHS collapse. Tell us about this -- Tina Green.

:11:24. > :11:27.This is slightly disingenuous, the headline, when you read the story.

:11:28. > :11:33.It's intended she will be called to give evidence to MPs after the

:11:34. > :11:37.collapse of BHS. There are two select committees, the Work and

:11:38. > :11:42.Pensions and business and innovation who have written to her husband, Sir

:11:43. > :11:46.Philip, asking him to appear, and last night both committees said they

:11:47. > :11:51.wanted to invite Lady Green... She lives in Monaco, is a Monaco

:11:52. > :11:55.resident, and is the owner of the retail empire run by Sir Philip.

:11:56. > :12:00.According to the Mail and the googling we've been doing. Her

:12:01. > :12:06.husband runs it and she owns it, it's a perfectly legitimate way of

:12:07. > :12:10.organising things. But we know this high-street brand is in deep

:12:11. > :12:15.trouble. Terrible trouble, and has been for some times. There's nothing

:12:16. > :12:19.that can force you to go to a Select Committee. But it is very poor form

:12:20. > :12:24.not to attend. And when you're British, it's not somebody who is

:12:25. > :12:28.foreign Nationals wherever you pay your taxes -- a foreign national.

:12:29. > :12:36.Let's look at a very exciting story. Not the housing prices. A

:12:37. > :12:42.city on tenterhooks. This afternoon Leicester City can complete

:12:43. > :12:46.football's greatest fairy tale with an unlikely first league triumph,

:12:47. > :12:50.excitement is at fever pitch as they go to Old Trafford. An amazing

:12:51. > :12:56.story, little Leicester have done so well this season. Leicester City, in

:12:57. > :13:01.the relegation zone last year, and they are now poised to take the

:13:02. > :13:05.league. It's fantastic. If they beat Manchester United tomorrow afternoon

:13:06. > :13:10.then they have done it and they still have two games in hand. It's

:13:11. > :13:14.great because it's what football is about, it's about the little guy

:13:15. > :13:17.coming up and it's lovely. Chelsea have sunk right down, Manchester

:13:18. > :13:23.United have had a terrible up and down season. It's really shaken it

:13:24. > :13:28.up and they've done it with great grace and their manager, Ranieri, is

:13:29. > :13:34.just fantastic and an example to so many other money managers. I'm

:13:35. > :13:45.delighted and I'm sorry to know that I can't get a Vardycino, in a coffee

:13:46. > :13:49.bar there, cappuccino subtly modified so the chocolate powder

:13:50. > :13:53.settles to form an uncanny silhouette of Jamie Vardy on the

:13:54. > :13:59.froth. He won't be on the froth because he won't be playing

:14:00. > :14:05.tomorrow. He will be on the bench because he is banned. What caught my

:14:06. > :14:11.eye is the ?2 bet on Leicester that could net ?45,000. A gambler that

:14:12. > :14:14.that to pounce on them winning the Premier League, and also Bayern

:14:15. > :14:29.Munich winning the Champions League, so this could net him

:14:30. > :14:34.?45,000. The double it up with the Bayern one. There's a Leicester fan

:14:35. > :14:41.called John, editor-in-chief of the Bloomberg News, former editor of the

:14:42. > :14:49.Economist, he's kicking himself for missing out on a ?110,000 win. Why?

:14:50. > :14:54.For the last 20 years he has put a ?20 bet on Leicester taking the

:14:55. > :14:59.title but this year he didn't. Why? Because he moved to New York, the

:15:00. > :15:08.big bad apple. What a missed opportunity. We had a very large, so

:15:09. > :15:12.large it is rather vulgar in scale, an 8-foot flag that will be from our

:15:13. > :15:20.window if they are successful tomorrow. Will you be drinking any

:15:21. > :15:25.Vardycinos? Absolutely. I'm always thrilled when Lester's teams do very

:15:26. > :15:30.well. Of course I am. The Tigers doing well as well. That's the

:15:31. > :15:33.papers tonight. -- Leicester's teams. Coming up next it is The Film

:15:34. > :15:36.Review. Thank you for joining me.
