replays, with Leicester and Liverpool in action. And news from | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
the Australian Open tennis. That's all in 15 minutes, after The Papers. | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
With me are Pippa Crerar, the political correspondent | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
from the London Evening Standard, and the broadcaster John Stapleton. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
The Independent's main story is the possible discovery of | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
a new planet, ten times the size of Earth, far out in our solar system. | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
The Financial Times says the falling FTSE means we're on the | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
The Telegraph reports on a ruling that means migrants | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
stranded in Calais can use European human rights laws to join relations | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Falling global stock markets make the front page of the Guardian. | :00:51. | :01:00. | |
The Times also leads with fears over the economy, caused by volatility | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
The Mirror says a simple test can help doctors accurately predict | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
And the actor Suranne Jones is pictured | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
She's won Best Drama Performance for her role in Doctor Foster, | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
How about we kick off with economic doom and gloom. Yes, the markets are | :01:22. | :01:39. | |
entering their territory, as you indicated, this is because in the | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
Chinese economy. The prospect of interest rising in the US. -- | :01:49. | :01:59. | |
interest rises. In the Guardian, they quote the former chief | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
economist of the Bank for International Settlements, he says | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
the problems building up the global financial system are worse than in | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
2007 and one central bank had used up all of their ammunition. We have | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
the guy last week from IDS saying, quote, sell almost everything. He | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
said the party is over. That raises concern among people like myself. On | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
the other hand, people are saying, hang on, it's not as bad as we | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
thought. The Times quote several experts. They use words like hype | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
and panic. The experts suggest that possibly what is happening with the | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
financial markets doesn't quite justified the magnitude of panic | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
that is gripping everyone. The Guardian's peace says we could be on | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
the brink of meltdown. -- piece. Bad news for George Osborne, that three | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
of the papers are splashing on the economy and those fears. People are | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
feeling jittery. The Times focuses on the consumer angle and looks at | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
some of the big British businesses and the impact on them. Billions of | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
pounds knocked off household names like HSBC and BP and Shell. But some | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
suggest it isn't as bad as that and there are indicators, like | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
unemployment being at an all-time low and Grexit is in the US showing | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
expansion, but it isn't all bad news. -- growth figures in the US. | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
This headline suggests it isn't great news. As part of the advice | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
from the gentleman just quoted, think about the long-term. Don't | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
panic and lead to any major conclusions yet. That's precisely | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
what one of the expert says. It is important investors stay focused on | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
the long-term. Staying with the Times. Calais asylum seekers can | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
come to Britain. This is a British court ruling. It was for a Syrian | :04:16. | :04:24. | |
refugee in the notorious Jungle camp in Calais. Refugees had been granted | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
the right to join their family members who had already been given | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
asylum. They were 216 -year-old boys and an older brother. -- two 16 | :04:38. | :04:48. | |
-year-old boys. They had been granted permission to come into the | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
UK because of their rights to family life. There are fears in some of the | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
more right-wing papers that this will open the floodgates to lots of | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
claims. The Times suggest it could be hundreds more people, rather than | :05:01. | :05:10. | |
thousands. It points out in a much more measured tone but obviously | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
these particular men have been traumatised by their experience in | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
Syria and written has decided to take 20,000 asylum seekers. -- | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
Britain. There is pressure from within EU to take more. They are | :05:27. | :05:37. | |
quoting a figure of 90,000. Then they would have a right under the | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
Dublin agreement to send back migrants who are here in illegally. | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
About 12,000 back so far. The right-wing have jumped on this, as | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
you say. Yes, let's have a look at The Daily Mail. They have a | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
particular take on it. They do. Judges punched effort the hall in | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
Britain's porous borders. They bring a dam across the Channel. I'm | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
interested in that word, gang. Three young lads and a 26-year-old who has | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
a mental issue. There may be evidence for The Daily Mail to use | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
the word gang. It infers criminality. There is a quote from | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
the MP, the former Tory minister, who was a leading Eurosceptic. | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
Helpful. You get the feeling that it isn't quite as balanced piece as it | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
should be. Yes, the quote is that the tribunal should have no business | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
in this matter. We have very strict laws on immigration. It is not for | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
the courts to undermine them in this way. It has further implications for | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
David Cameron, because this overshadows his negotiations with | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
regard to changes in the rules and regulations and arrangements with | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
Europe. Then there's the possibility of the referendum not taking place | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
in June. It might be put back to October and that's something the | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
Tory party would not wish. It may mean that immigration becomes the | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
key issue and we get headlines like this day after day over the summer. | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
And give the government the result in the referendum that they don't | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
want. The Prime Minister would definitely like that referendum to | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
be in June. I think July and it could end up at the end of the | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
summer, but that depends on next month's crucial summit in Brussels. | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
June or July. There will be local elections, including the London | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
mayoral election. Some Tory candidates would be very | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
uncomfortable about a referendum held just months after the mayoral | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
election not least because it would take away activists from stuffing | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
leaflets through letter boxes. It would also defy the party and he is | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
Eurosceptic, so it could be awkward for him in the run-up to that. He is | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
keen for that not to happen in June. But the government will obviously be | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
concerns that if you have a whole summer of stories about whether it | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
it's like this, or some of the other stories we've seen in recent weeks, | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
it could drive immigration further up the agenda and push people away | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
from wanting to stay within the EU. Now, if you like literate if | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
headlines than the Sun is for you. -- literate headlines. Yes, this is | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
the headline. For the benefit of those who haven't been following | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
this, this is related to the uppercrust Tory MP, as the Sun | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
refers to him as, who stunned the House of Commons today I admitted he | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
regularly uses party drug poppers. We should point out that he is gay | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
and he uses this party poppers because apparently they relax the | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
muscles and enhance a gentleman's sexual pleasure. He is voicing | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
concern about the proposal by the government to have them banned. The | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
government aren't just doing this because they are party poopers, is | :09:13. | :09:28. | |
says it is because they can cause death in some circumstances. He says | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
it will drive people like himself into the hands of criminals. And | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
they fall under the bracket of legal highs. They do. They will be banned | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
from April. It was concluded that they would ban them for now but they | :09:45. | :09:55. | |
will hold a review to see if poppers should be part of this band. Various | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
people in the Commons debate today pointed out that poppers are | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
psychoactive in the same way that nicotine, alcohol and caffeine are | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
and if people are aware of the warnings then maybe they should be | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
put in that category, rather than band and forcing people into | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
illegality. Also potentially opening public figures to back the and all | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
those sorts of things. I must admit, the House of Commons didn't seem | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
especially stunned when he spoke about it! Anyway, the Daily Mirror, | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
they talk about a simple test to reveal your dementia risk. Yes. The | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
Sun... Sorry, the Mirror claimed that GPs will now be able to look at | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
a patient's history of depression, alcohol intake diet, weight loss and | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
blood pressure and from that will be able to ascertain the quite a high | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
degree of accuracy whether or not somebody is likely to be at risk of | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
developing dementia. This is for people between the ages of 60 and | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
79. They will get 85% accuracy. The older they are, less likely to be | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
accurate. This opens a can of worms. Dementia affects almost 1 million | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
people in Britain and there's no known cure at the moment. I was | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
under the impression that the majority of cases were, they | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
thought, genetic. It can be slowed down, as long as it is caught fast | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
enough. For example, mental and physical exercise and a healthy | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
lifestyle is key, but there's no cure. I this raises the ethical | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
issue as to whether you would want to know. Exactly. They feed into the | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
system your history, things like depression, stroke, whether you have | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
drunk too much, diabetes, you have an irregular heartbeat, et cetera. | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
They look at this information and they can predict whether you have a | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
likelihood to suffer from dementia or not. Some people may not want to | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
know and whether or not they can do anything about it. Why that stage in | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
someone's life, it depends to what extent they have abused their body | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
or suffered from any of these conditions in the past. The other | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
thing of course is it is great to hear this, obviously it would help | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
people if some treatment could be offered, but the other question is | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
whether the NHS can afford it. You look at the front page of the | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
Guardian and it says Britain is spending less and less on health | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
services by international standards and by 2020 we will have to devote | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
?43 billion more every year just to match the spending of other European | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
countries. Good news, but possibly some way. And as you, ethical | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
concerns. Finishing in space. I have to say, my knowledge of all | :12:45. | :13:04. | |
matters space are based on Star Wars, and my six-year-old son, | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
probably. Several of the papers have this image, which is not a photo, we | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
should say. This is an artist's impression. You might be asking why | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
we had not spotted it before, of the ninth planet that has been | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
discovered. We think we have discovered it. It is believed to be | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
ten times the mass of birth and to speak as Neptune. -- earth. It has | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
been named planet X, which I think is a bit unfair, given the others | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
have quite nice names. I like the language used, it is lurking on the | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
dark icy fringes of the solar system. It is not just there, it is | :13:54. | :14:04. | |
lurking. Research is at the California Institute of technology | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
described it as the most planety planet in the solar system. Maybe he | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
has his knowledge from Star Wars as well. Thank you both very much, | :14:18. | :14:26. | |
coming up next, it is time for | :14:27. | :14:27. |
