so yeah, this is from the telegraph. how labour could soon force you to rent out your empty home.heating if you're a pensioner. labour is considering considering plans to give councils the power to take over and let houses that are left empty for six months in a blow to property owners. so the current rules are if a property is left out or empty for two years, you have. that's when you're sort of you'll start having people saying you need to start renting this out. they've got to think about reducing that to six months. it's interesting because it's not what the story isn't, what how you initially might think it is. it's not just like perfectly good houses. some of these houses are not fit for renters, which is why there's, there's apparently 25, up to £25,000 in government grants available to those who want to fix up the houses. so i sympathise. i sympathise with them in that sense. my i'm actually kind of pro this in a sense i my main focus would be like, i hope these local councils and the government are going to force these overseas buyers who buy entire blocks and leave them

we have the telegraph labour to diversify national curriculum. labour plan want to stop the cost of living squeeze voters, warn pm. the daily express beware risks of weight loss. drugs bought online. the times rising toll of young adults too ill to work the mirror and cosmetic apps opps sorry carnage. and finally, the daily star. and they have vladdy horrible. okay, let's have a closer look at the front pages. we'll start with the times, steve. >> well, the times they've got. jemmy carter, former us president, dies aged 100. and it's one of those stories where when someone reaches that age and has achieved that much, you just got to say, oh, good innings, well done. >> very good innings. in fact, the classic good innings 100. but i suppose there's also a time to reflect almost not just on a life well lived. and he did have an extraordinary second act or third act even. i suppose the first act was the peanut farming. >> well, yes, the peanut and then presidency and then nobel prize. so who knows what biden's going to go on to do. >> yes, absolutel
