by supporting the demonstrators. the mail says that the environment secretary, michael gove, blames the disruption on the police for not clearing the streets. there are more pictures of climate change activists on the front of the times, but the paper leads on two opinion polls, which suggest that nigel farage‘s new brexit party is on course to win may's european elections. the guardian claims that data it's seen shows that half of england is owned by just 1% of the population. scientists are hailing the news that a pig's brains was revived after death, which they say, could pave the way for a breakthrough in alzheimer's research. that's on the front. let's begin with the metro, and these two

photographs, but perhaps the most striking is that one of the protester being i'm glued if that's a word, from the carriage. they seem to have made a habit of gluing themselves to things and tying themselves to things and tying themselves to things and tying themselves to things, so four of the protesters chained themselves outside ofjeremy corbyn‘s house, today, i don't think you there though but still, it's all part of their tactics to bring mind and in a sense to a standstill, but of course it's easter time, and lots of people are on holiday and outside westminster where we work but of course the mps are in the building and the prime minister is not at home, so it's a friendly feeling protest but a quest that have been lots of reports that people are not being able to get home on the public transport that these campaigners are calling for them to use because of their own protest. windy and make of their own protest. windy and make of the kind of approach they had adopted, the sort of conscious
10:42 pm
disruption you might call it because although one of the clothes on the paper is saying for goodness' sake thatis paper is saying for goodness' sake that is i think about in the middle of oxford circus, which is a serial site but when you think of the yellow that's protest in paris that turned ugly, dispensing well tempered. it has more of a festival feel to it it's like glastonbury, and acting sunny weather is helping and acting sunny weather is helping and you wonder there was a bit of a downpour in the april showers whether that would clear them out quite quickly, but what i find quite interesting as they are obviously causing major disruption fell in some way they are achieving their aims, you do wonder though, what the strategy is because the people i really try to get through to them, they seem to be alienating to me, people who use public transport by doing a bit every dayjust to get to work, not using kaizen trying to get through central london on their bikes and there that people who have
10:43 pm
been hit the most by and say you do wonder what the overall strategy is. if you take a look at the telegraph as an interest in politics to this. again, more signed the protesters being removed from canary wharf where the railway one —— rhymes, the height of the other financial district as it was, but it's interesting how in this case, the buyer is being aimed at the mayor of london who expressed sympathy for them but not their tactics. you had them but not their tactics. you had the chairman of the police federation, he is quite frustrated by how this has been handled, but he says to wait sadik khan has reacted to the protests, i mean he basically has said he is supporting it. don't break the lie but i share your aims stop to let you exactly he's making it's —— it's making a job high because how can they cleared the streets when the mayor of london is
10:44 pm
essentially getting his back into the protest. in a sense is notjust a dilemma for the mayor of london obviously is introducing quite a lot of measures he says designed to affect climate change, but it's like the government as well. the government had also been sorted supportive of the message, you had not really heard anyone coming out and disagreeing with what they are protesting about, but yes, the telegraph focus on the fact that the police had been pictured walking by and not really doing anything and that's why these protests have felt like a festival. because actually they just like a festival. because actually theyjust did there and watched and nothing has gone out of control they disrupt things that nothing and no one is getting hurt, people are being arrested though, but... 340 of them. not a lot considering the chaos that that happened. so it's a weird atmosphere, it's a protest but not really a protest we have seen in
10:45 pm
france and the police are not doing anything because demand london has that he supports their aim and therefore, if anyone does go to approach them, they themselves can say well the mayor of london believes in what we are doing and it makes harderfor believes in what we are doing and it makes harder for police to intervene. and thanks to demolition may have london is in charge of the police let's move on here, the tories losing votes to nigel brexit priority, it's a kind of thinking this on the shoulder of the conservative party that was supposed to be banished and david cameron agreed to hold referendums and it did not turn out that way and nigel farage it seems to be back with a vengeance. farage it seems to be back with a vengeance. said to me, this new party was only launched in january. they might find he's overtaken all the other parties. i mean, we have to also, it's one pole so we don't really know. why not the only one that matters is the election. yeah.
10:46 pm
had and we all been burned. from a standing start it's remarkable. he has no recognition, —— i think, it's nigel farage and brexit. in a way that the breakaway group doesn't have a leader to recognise, and it extraordinary that you keep dale right in the by election, and you see that disappearing i think because brexit party went riding... like they did no way to go, and now he is publicly coming out in such a way people are starting to recognise that they are not the same party of the past it's changed considerably with the new leadership affiliating itself with tommy robinson and taking a much harder line approach makes taking a much harder line approach ma kes eve nts taking a much harder line approach makes events nigel farage has distanced himself from. another way the defections may happen including some mep so what you think is the aim here when he she's up to with this because critics will say it's
10:47 pm
just an ego trip he fell out with them and there's no political homemade does not want to retire to the countryside at the end of his current term as an enemy people what you think is a ms. 7 current term as an enemy people what you think is a ms. ? i think it's sheer frustration and the fact that we should have been out in march according to teresa and a's promises, and that has not happened. so he's trying to hold government fee to the fire that was his promise, that i had a chat with them earlier today about the whole thing, and he said he's very cautious about number, but he also says people are fed up with visible politicians who are endlessly blackmailing people over what happens next like saying if you don't back this deal that brexit won't tap and etc, so that not quite nikes writing mr sunshine. maybe, but he has got massive name
10:48 pm
recognition and it's quite amazing that a lot of the support comes from the utep party and the former party and tories as well, so set it since 19, to do that it's really remarkable whereas. .. 19, to do that it's really remarkable whereas... the great problem they had had since he stopping leader the first time was he went back, but they never really managed to find someone who has the same impact as he does. this will be... at the european elections and we are talking about that. and a small part is exactly. i wouldn't ta ke small part is exactly. i wouldn't take this as a direct link to local elections, or snap general elections but it is really way for tories because the reason why we had a referendum is because they wanted to... like that that that we deliver brexit, you got your bow, you don't need to vote for them any more or brexit party you can come home to i. and now they are back it will be a laudatory and peace are voted as i
10:49 pm
should say that we'll want to put the vote in. let's move on to the independence and they also have problems with nigel farage and. yeah, ithink problems with nigel farage and. yeah, i think what's interesting about this was a list commissioned by the people of the campaign, and that was a second referendum, so it's quite interesting that this has risen —— this has emerge from it but the daffy i feel like they're trying to put pressure on labour, and the small parties and change it to work together to i suppose it's easy the agenda on this rather than letting nigel farage walk away with... so if you want to suppress the vote, they argued the best way is to do the referendum but there is a problem is in there i'll let you make a pro—european end of the debate leading the tories and the brexit party aside, is that they are all kind of, you have the lead dams and change uk, all of them fighting for what appears to be a narrow section
10:50 pm
of the electorate, the pro—ee section. yes and there is criticism that they really should have united with one unified message, when you split it all up it gets confusing, but it's a problem for labour and the fact that the by election which isa the fact that the by election which is a tiny little, yes, such the pie, the pie, the labour laws that shared the pie, the labour laws that shared the boat, and the smaller parties that advocated a second referendum got a bigger check the boat and that tells you something. about labour voters or all the voters who again are confused, and i don't know who to vote for but they're just, it does not feel like there is an equivalent to the brexit party right now maybe that's partly because name recognition problems and notjust seizing the agenda and the same way because they got had the same ambitions and perhaps, if they appeared more unified, it could be let the brexit party is stealing from the other side. of christ i remember talking to one np, when at
10:51 pm
the defectors who said to me privately that the last thing we do is hook up with the lead dams because we learn from the mistake before, we need a distinct identity in the moment we stop piling up reasons, we bury that sense of being new and different. vince cable today, he did say he approached change uk about doing some kind of deal to go to the elections and fight on a romaine ticket but they weren't interested because of that reason. lib dems are still in dull drum because they party with the conservatives and there is...|j drum because they party with the conservatives and there is... i bet they are hoping to pull back mep that nothing else —— as soon as it happens let's move on to the guardiana happens let's move on to the guardian a different story here. nothing to do if european elections oi’ nothing to do if european elections or climate protest. this is intriguing, half of england owned by just i% of the population are you
10:52 pm
surprised? if he familiar, i feel like i've had this figure before but no less shocking when they do emerge, and the fact that it's 70% of that is estimated to be owned by bankers oligarchs and new money industrialist, and we know the queen owns a huge question of land, oxford and cambridge university so we know this for a long time. we have been able to identify some of the land on his but quite a lot are kind and big us. yeah and i think this is what makes it news is they used all this kind of new data to actually pinpoint exactly who dies on the line here beyond what we know and be headlines of the queen and universities, so yes it's depressing story. where you shocked by this? like laura, ithink story. where you shocked by this? like laura, i think it's a familiar feel to it but what's interesting is the fact that they got it back to 25,000 landowners, and they have worked out that if this land was to
10:53 pm
be evenly distributed amongst the re st of be evenly distributed amongst the rest of us, we would get an acre each, which... i really like that sound about. and. that's equivalent to square, so... obviously you don't wa nt to square, so... obviously you don't want protesters on it all day like if you had the acre but. want protesters on it all day like if you had the acre butlj want protesters on it all day like if you had the acre but. i chained themselves to the fences perhaps sympathizerjeremy corbyn their select on this story, this is intriguing as well. it is called zombie pigs, the guardian headline is less shocking in the sense our gravity but the story is no less grabby. is very sci-fi and disturbing and graphic language used in the story, but on the guardian they have gone in on the brains of
10:54 pm
decapitated pigs being partially revived several hours after death. itjust sounded revived several hours after death. it just sounded really gruesome and you know, i'm sure there will be many ethical debates and people be concerned about animals and that kind of thing but what's happening here is the science behind it is hopefully going to lead to breakthroughs and stroke treatment and for alzheimer's, so i'm sure there is a lot of people who would be keen to see this develop. what it's saying is it's about being able to prevent rain cells from sustaining irreparable damage even when the blood stops flowing which an offence, that's a good thing when you think about the effect of strokes and things like peoples rain cells can be positive but it's the image of the rain being revived and that's kind of bringing back your worst nightmares from childhood. they are created that this is not suddenly conscious pigs. no suggestion but it's communicating. and not responding orfunctioning the same way, it's not dying with
10:55 pm
reduced accident oxygenated blood. it's different at different papers covered it. and how you know, if the question of life or death i don't think it really is that everyone is saying the pigs i live i think that is saying that that there functioning. regularly active but it doesn't change the definition of death which is what one of them said. but that's a question now... is the first step on this journey. said. but that's a question now... is the first step on this journeylj is the first step on this journey.” can help thinking about the story in the united states about the chicken with a headless chopped off and then it ran around for quite a long time afterward before it finally stopped. it sort of kind of this image is... not what you want to think that before going to bed so i suggest you stay up for another hour and get it out of your head and then you will sit much better. that's it for the papers this hour. laura hughes and sam lister will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers, and don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online
