Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
With me are Pippa Crerar - the political correspondent | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
from the London Evening Standard - and the broadcaster John Stapleton. | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
Many of the front pages are already in. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
The Independent's main story is the possible discovery | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
of a new planet, ten times the size of Earth, | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
The Financial Times says the falling FTSE means we're on the brink | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
The Telegraph reports on a ruling that means migrants stranded | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
in Calais can use European human rights laws to join relations living | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
Falling global stock markets make the front page of the Guardian. | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
And The Times also leads with fears over the economy, | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
caused by volatility in world markets. | :01:02. | :01:11. | |
We will go to the markets in a moment. First, the Telegraph. Human | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
rights ticket to Britain is the headline. Four young men in the | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
notorious jungle camp in Calais have gone through the British courts, and | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
being ruled they can join their siblings who are already legal. They | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
have been granted asylum status in the UK. These for are 316-year-olds, | :01:38. | :01:47. | |
and a man in his 20s, who is apparently seriously mentally ill. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
The British court has ruled they have a right to a family life, and | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
this opens the doors to many other claimants in Calais, refugees, | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
joining their family members in the UK for similar reasons. The UK | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
government is likely to challenge this. It raises a spectre of | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
possibly thousands more refugees coming to the UK. David Cameron | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
announced that written was going to take 20,000 refugees over the course | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
of four years. There could be many, many more. The key thing is, they | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
hadn't been granted asylum in France, which was the first country | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
they arrived in. Normally they would have to do that initially. The | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
centres have given them the way round that. This feeds into the | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
bigger picture. Depending on what side of the fence you for on, some | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
Eurosceptics are claiming Brussels bureaucrats are trying to bully the | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
government. Others will say that they are trying to get Britain to | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
take their fair share of refugees. But there is something called the | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
Dublin Regulation, which means that if people arrive, people have too | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
seek asylum in the first country they reach in the EU. If they come | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
to the UK and try to seek asylum there, they can be deported as a | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
result. Unless you take more refugees, the figure of 90,000, | :03:22. | :03:32. | |
which is a quota. They say, unless we take 90,000, we will not be able | :03:33. | :03:43. | |
to apply the Dublin Regulation. There are implications for the | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
referendum. They are quite severe, potentially, because this could | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
overshadow David Cameron's overshadow David Cameron's | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
negotiations in Europe, and possibly lead to the referendum not being in | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
the summer, but maybe as late as October, which the government | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
doesn't want. The last thing David Cameron wants now is an issue as | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
emotive as immigration clouding the final weeks of negotiation with his | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
partners in Europe. There is a key summit in the next few months, where | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
we will be able to make a decision whether he has been successful in | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
his renegotiations, and then the government will press on with the | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
referendum. The key thing is when it happens. The Telegraph suggests it | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
may happen in June. The word is, he would like it in June. But there are | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
other factors in play. The London mayoral elections are coming on, and | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
it will be bad news for Zac Goldsmith, the Conservative | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
candidate, if he were to find his base preoccupied with campaigning | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
elsewhere. It is also bad news for those who want to stay in Europe. My | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
own suspicion is, if the British public decided in the end, | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
immigration would play a key factor in their thinking. If immigration | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
was in the headlines all summer... If you went from June to October, | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
the levels of migration would be highest in the summer months. It | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
depends which way it goes. You will remember the heartfelt outpourings | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
from newspapers, public and politicians when the bodies of | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
children who drowned trying to cross the sea into Europe were found. You | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
do not see the papers reporting so much now on the drownings, which | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
continue to this day. If you have a summer of drownings, public mood | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
could shift. Or it could harden people's resolve. Something else | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
that is hard to read is the state of the global economy. Particularly for | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
those of us who have a pension that depends on the stock market. It | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
depends what paper you read. I am reading two. It reminds me of the | :06:10. | :06:18. | |
quote, if you ask to lawyers question, you will get three | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
opinions. There are varying views about the state of the economy. The | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
Financial Times talks about the slowdown of the Chinese economy, the | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
falling oil price, and the prospect of rises in the US, causing near to | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
a bear market. That is defined as when prices fall is 20% below their | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
last peak, which is where we are now. My advisor says, you start | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
panicking when FTSE is down to around five. It is on 5.6. There is | :06:56. | :07:04. | |
real concern being felt in the UK and around the world. The Guardian | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
covers the same story, but the headline is about panic selling, | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
fears that the global economy growing. There is a motivation of | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
having a go at George Osborne and the government in charge of the | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
economy. George Osborne warned us about the threats that Britain faced | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
a few weeks ago, and warned not to allow creeping complacency to creep | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
in. It is worrying for the economy and for the government, because he | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
is building his reputation as someone who has fixed the roof while | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
the Sun is shining. He has made us suffer this austerity in order to | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
improve the economy, but it is a very difficult -- very different | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
tone from his Orton statement. We are getting conflicting messages, | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
worst of the effect of, sell everything, the party is over. | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
Chinese growth is not what we expected, it isn't cataclysmic. | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
Falling oil prices mainly affects the suppliers of oil. A slight | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
growth in the world economy by the end of the year was predicted, so | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
don't panic, was the view. We have had predictions of oil prices going | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
back by the end of the year. Which one of you is most fascinated by the | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
world of the space industry? It isn't me. It is so out of this world | :08:37. | :08:45. | |
that I cannot get my head round it. I am probably a more regular visitor | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
to the Greenwich Observatory venue, given that I have young children who | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
are obsessed with the planets. A ninth planet has been found, | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
according to the California Institute of technology. This planet | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
is a gas giant, but not a very original name. It is believed to be | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
ten times as big as Neptune, the eighth this planet from the Sun. I | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
found myself getting confused with how many planets thereafter. I | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
thought Pluto was a dwarf planet. I thought it was something to do with | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
the mass of the planet. I recall an argument about whether it was a | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
dwarf planet, when we had the mission that flew past it last year. | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
Scientists have the criteria, I suppose. Even sophisticated | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
telescopes have not spotted this for donkeys years. This is an | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
astronomical day, because there has been this once in a lifetime | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
alignment of planets that means that if you stand at the top of a hill in | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
the countryside with a telescope, you might just be able to see it. I | :10:06. | :10:13. | |
memorised the order of the planets after I interviewed an astronomer | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
earlier on! That picture on the front of the Independent is an | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
artists impression, it is important to point out. The scientists have | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
described it as the most planet like planet in the solar system! If they | :10:29. | :10:37. | |
had that photograph, why didn't they find it before? John, the poppy | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
seller story from the Telegraph. This is rather sad. This little old | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
lady, Liz Cooke, a 92-year-old poppy seller in the West Country who took | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
her own life. -- Liz Cook. She had been swamped by egging letters -- | :10:56. | :11:07. | |
begging letters. There has been an investigation into this by a | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
fundraising watchdog. In one year, she received 3200 mailings from | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
charities. We worked that out to be 62 a week. They were all begging | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
letters. The vast majority for them were unsolicited, sent by groups who | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
had obtained the address from third parties. I think this really is | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
terrible. It drives us nuts. very upset indeed about this. And | :11:36. | :11:45. | |
she was a passionate supporter of good causes. She found it very hard | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
to say no, so she felt totally overwhelmed by it. | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
important questions to ask about data protection and who you pass | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
your address on to. We have all received junk mail, and we might be | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
able to dismiss them, but if you are sat at home and you receive eight or | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
nine of the midday, and you are the type of person who feels compelled | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
to help, these are pretty graphic images of starving children around | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
the world, and it very sadly drove her to her death. And once you | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
password details on, it is very hard to stop it. That's it for the time | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
being. Thank you very much to John and pepper. We will be back at | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
11:30pm with another look at the stories making the news. | :12:37. | :12:38. |
