Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
With me Caroline Frost, Entertainment Editor | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
for the Huffington Post and Tony Grew, Parliamentary | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
The Metro says that millions of people across Britain have been | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
'robbed' of the chance to own their own homes. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
Reporting that levels of home ownership have plunged | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Property ownership has fallen to 64.1% UK wide, | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
from an all-time high of 71% in 2004. | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
The Guardian leads with the same story - | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
reporting that low-levels of home ownership, once confined | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
to London, are now a problem in cities like Manchester, | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
The Financial Times reports that Uber, the app-based taxi-hailing | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
service, has ending a multi-billion dollar tussle for the Chinese market | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
by merging its loss-making business in China with a local | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
Beijing has warned damage had been cancelling the Hinkley point project | :00:56. | :01:04. | |
would put Chinese investment in the UK at risk. The Daily Express says | :01:05. | :01:13. | |
several dozen peers in the House of Lords are plotting to block Brexit. | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
That would be interesting. We will start with the owner 's resignation | :01:22. | :01:31. | |
list. It is interesting that David Cameron, he took office six years | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
ago saying he would be representing a new style of politics. | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
Now he has left office and some are suggesting he has behaved like any | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
other leader has done over the last 50 or 60 years. What we have seen | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
his David Cameron acquitting himself impeccably in those days immediately | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
following Brexit. We had the speech with the catch in the throat and the | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
resignation. We had all the jokes, the round of applause. It all seemed | :02:03. | :02:14. | |
to be going well. He was leaving, a smiling perimeter figure that proved | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
all political careers don't end incomplete ignominy. This team he | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
leads a little bit of a nasty aftertaste. It is Theresa May | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
picking up the pieces and clattering a busy week for her. She said she | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
won't get involved. It is something she will not do. What another | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
parting gift from David Cameron. She must be delighted. First he takes | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
the country out of the EU and now he creates a political row. There is a | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
stench of hypocrisy around this. We have people here from the Labour | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
Party saying may want the resignation list to be abolished. By | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
the way, resignation honours, Tony Blair didn't take the opportunity to | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
have a resignation, but... That was only because of cast -- cash for | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
questions. The House of Lords, there is a lot of reforms needed and to | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
the honours system more generally, but for Theresa May... The other | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
problem for Theresa May is she does have people calling for some sort of | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
reform of the honours system and she is thinking that is not the top of | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
my list. People do remember the lavender list. | :03:38. | :03:48. | |
What is... Samantha Cameron's personal adviser. Stylist is a | :03:49. | :04:02. | |
pejorative term, she has assisted her with her duties as first lady | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
for a time. There is a culture in Whitehall and demonstrate that | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
people are given honours for serving the country in this capacity. The | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
suggestion that she was a special adviser on some are saying she was | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
the stylist as well, does that not the other honours list that there | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
are throughout the year that do recognise the schoolteacher who has | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
worked for 40 years in the same school and so on and so forth, does | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
this list affect those lists? Does it do mean the whole thing? It does | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
sound as if there is a plateauing and you are right. A person who has | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
put her curlers in is not the same as someone running a youth club. I | :04:46. | :04:54. | |
have a friend he has an OBE for many years for all sorts of countless | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
tasks and services to his community. I don't think less of him as a | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
result of this. I would say not but it needs sorting out. Let's go to | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
the Times. China raises doubts over ?100 billion investment in the UK. | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
That decision not to rubber-stamp Hinkley Point on the part of the | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
government, it could have long-term repercussions. This is a sign that | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
Theresa May is leading a new government. This isn't continuity | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
Kamin or a change of personnel, it is a new government. Theresa May | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
repeatedly raised concerns about the national security implications of | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
allowing China to be involved in building the infrastructure of the | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
country. Now she is premised she is showing she is willing to take tough | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
decisions and sate my concerns about national security still exist and | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
for this to go ahead we will have to look at this again and decide | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
whether we want China and EDF to go ahead with building Hinkley Point. I | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
don't think the issue is whether it should be built whether we needed, | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
those arguments have been hard but she has concerns about that aspect | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
of it. What you see now is China to run the toys out of the pram and | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
threatening the United Kingdom. China is seen as one of the | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
countries we want to do business with. Having said that, there are | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
other countries we could trade with. China is a big and will probably be | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
the biggest economy, we will trade with them, but I am with chorizo, we | :06:32. | :06:41. | |
should be cautious. -- I am with Teresa Lu. There will be people out | :06:42. | :06:51. | |
there who will be concerned at the possibility that the Chinese will | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
have quite a deep stake in basic infrastructure in this country. We | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
have this background of mutual distrust between the US and China | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
and we are meant to be keeping these relationships with the US, may in | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
November. Certainly, this is when something comes along and you think | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
what is more important, that investment for our security? I am | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
seeing a brinkmanship coming off. How much does China want that | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
investment or what are they prepared to do to get it and how much is | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
Theresa May prepared to stick on it? Do you think Theresa May will say it | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
now doing? There could be some sort of change in the deal. That is more | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
likely. I would assume there will be a Dean. Plan to web company records | :07:43. | :07:54. | |
will boost from. I can't stand by this. They are talking about | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
companies agreeing to a plan to wipe off a whole bunch of historical data | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
and you have all these investigations agency is saying that | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
it's going to interfere in a whole amount of archive investigations | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
into white-collar crime, historical things and we know that a crime 30 | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
years ago is still a crime. These people are saying the reason they | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
are worried about it is they have a right to be forgotten and the meat | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
that is like saying I have an embarrassing picture on Facebook | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
that doesn't do me any favours. If serious people are wanting to form a | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
business men they should be accountable for however long it | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
takes and be able to extend themselves whatever happened, | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
whether it was in a good thing they paid the price for whatever. It | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
should come to light. I see no reason to justify this. Millions | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
robbed of the chance to own their own home. We are no longer a nation | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
where Englishmen enjoys their castles. This is shown that | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
long-term trends in London, a lack of affordable housing, a lack of | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
available housing, low house-building and an increase in | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
the amount of houses being used in the private rental sector, all of | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
these things combined have had an effect in London that is well | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
reported but less so in cities like Manchester, Sheffield and Glasgow. | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
The same thing is happening. The house of -- the price of houses has | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
risen in towns where people could afford their own home and now they | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
no longer can. Greater Manchester, the proportion of homeowners is down | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
to 57.9%, a significant drop. This is a major challenge for the | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
government. Governments have been telling us about building more | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
houses but they haven't done it. Theresa May, one challenge for her | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
is will there be a big boost in infrastructure investment and when | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
we talk about infrastructure do we just mean things like HS2 or things | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
like 10,000 or 20,000 new houses for Manchester? To be clear, this isn't | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
about the skyrocketing prices we see in London, this is desirable | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
properties in short supply because there aren't enough of them. It is | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
strange hearing these stories. The drove home through West London and | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
North London and all you see is a development centre but that isn't | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
the case for areas further out. It fascinates me because if you go to | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
Europe they have such a different business model where it is not so | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
important to own, everybody rants. As we were discussing, what you have | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
the back that up is a sustained limitation on rents. It is not open | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
to exploitation. Lords want to stop EU exit. Is that... Is there any | :10:54. | :11:04. | |
chance that will happen? May also report that Lord Kinnock has joined | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
the Brexit blockers. The House of Lords is a sensible, thoughtful | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
chamber. There may be a group of peers under the impression they can | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
block this from happening, there is still a legal argument over whether | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
triggering article 50 requires Parliamentary approval for whether | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
the government can do it by itself. There will be some thoughts you are | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
unhappy, some of the art receiving EU pensions. Now, I think the vast | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
majority will recognise that the people have spoken and their job is | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
to get the best deal for Britain. That doesn't mean the Lords would | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
have a significant say in scrutinising the negotiation | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
progress and there probably will need to be able in both houses. That | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
is years down the track from now. The Financial Times. British Euro | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
clap pensions set to spark bitter Brexit exchanges. We will skip over | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
that. Forget it. We will go to the Telegraph. The Olympics begin this | :12:05. | :12:13. | |
week. The contaminated Olympics. The back page of the Telegraph. That is | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
something not very nice floating in the water where they will have a lot | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
of the sailing events. We should point out that this photo was taken | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
in June, so we all know that, historically, Olympic venues do | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
their best work in the final ten days. It has become an Olympic sport | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
to despair of the Olympic venue in any city. All we hear is it is a | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
fiasco. London we had all sorts of security nightmares and then had the | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
Triumph of the event itself. Rio is riddled with problems. They are | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
really threatening to overshadow all the athletes and their efforts. I | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
just wonder, given that London 2012 was so amazing on so many levels, | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
even the weather was good for the majority of the time. Is there much | :13:09. | :13:18. | |
enthusiasm here for these games? I remember the build-up for the 2012 | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
games. There was a sense of pessimism. They remember the | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
expectations for the games in London. The expectation among | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
Londoners was that the games would be terrible and it would be an | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
encouragement. There is something about the Olympic spirit and I mean | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
that. The spirit of the games will let these problems away and when the | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
Olympics have been attacked by terrorists as has happened on two | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
occasions, they have been racked by problems, the Olympic spirit has | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
shone through from that. I am expecting to be surprised and I am | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
looking forward to seeing real but on their show and the thing about it | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
is but at that moment they are the focus of the world and that is the | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
beauty of the games. Our correspondent said exactly that. The | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
anticipation is beginning to build. We have had our excitement. Thank | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
you for joining us here on The Papers. All the front pages are | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
online on the BBC News website. It's all there for you, seven days | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
a week at bbc.co.uk/papers and you can see us there too, | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
with each night's edition of The Papers being posted | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
on the page shortly Good morning. The gardens of | :14:26. | :14:52. | |
southern Britain have had a good watering. As we go through today, | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
the rain will show signs of heading northward. There will be some | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
sunshine across | :15:00. | :15:01. |
