Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
With me are Reuters Business Correspondent and author, | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Tom Bergin and broadcaster Joan Bakewell. | :00:21. | :00:29. | |
You have become an author in the build-up! | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
Tomorrow's front pages? The Financial Times focuses | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
executives warning that leaving Europe could damage | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
Metro leads with the killer storm in the US - saying Britain is poised | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
for new floods as the storm crosses the Atlantic. | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
The Telegraph's headline says patients are being given hips made | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
the wrong size after its own investigation | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
IVF hope for older women is the i's lead, saying a controversial cell | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
technique aims to make older eggs young again. | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
The Independent features a picture of one of four dead whales - | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
which have washed up on the North Sea coast. | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
The Express looks at why diet is key to beating arthritis saying that | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
simple changes could ease agony for millions. | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
Osborne in ?3 billion vow to beat malaria is The Times' lead story | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
which says taxpayers are to fund the bulk of a new deal | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
And the Guardian focuses on the treatment of asylum seekers | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
in the UK saying arrivals in Cardiff are being issued with coloured | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
We can start with the independent and this next IVF regulation. It | :01:29. | :01:39. | |
says older women are more like to have babies and makes older eggs | :01:40. | :01:50. | |
young again. I do note that the IVF success rate is very low and costs | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
and friends who tried this have been disappointed over and over again so | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
anything to improve the chances is welcome but the secret to this story | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
is it involves the mitochondria, which is an important part of the | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
cell. And to intervene with this presents all sorts of opportunities | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
for eliminating illness but also sets up resistance because people | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
feel this is a slippery slope, tampering with nature and not to go | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
down that path but one in 5000 people have mitochondria disease in | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
this country so crossing the frontier and dealing with this will | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
make a big difference. That is where the controversy lies. Do we know how | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
expensive this is? Available on the NHS? These questions might come out | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
because of these tests but it will have an impact on a lot of people | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
and the demographic trends are people are having babies older and | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
this is because of increased participation, people cannot afford | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
to get married until later and often older women having IVF is depicted | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
as being very selfish and took them a long time to get their act | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
together but this is a natural function of the world today so this | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
is potentially good news for a generation. It is just one clinic | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
that has applied for the licence so this is an early start and we do not | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
know if it will be granted a licence but this is a move that might be | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
around for some time. The Financial Times, a couple of stories, leaving | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
the EU with damage the UK's global influence, says big pharma. | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
Remaining as part of the EU for the sake of research, this helpful | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
voice? This was before the bankers became the pariah of the business | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
world, in terms of corporate scandals which we have covered, big | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
pharma has had its big share. When the bankers came out to support the | :03:57. | :04:07. | |
stay in campaign, the Brexit campaign said these are not the | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
friends we should have so we're not worried about big pharma but this is | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
an example, David Cameron said to the business community, it needed to | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
get behind the stay in campaign so this could be just a reflection of | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
that. Aren't we seeing all global companies saying we need it in to | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
stay in Europe? Because we deal with Europe and dealing separately with | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
Britain would be quite a difficult thing for global companies to do. We | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
are part of the European enterprise and slowly, all these big companies | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
will come out in favour of staying within Europe? How cohesive are both | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
camps was back not at all. Everybody seems divided. They both have to | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
sort their act out and I see that Nicola Sturgeon suggests it does not | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
have the referendum yet because both sides need to get organised properly | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
and present the cases we can really understand. Staying with the | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
Financial Times, Iran poised to launch their boss jets in a business | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
bonanza. It was a short time since sanctions were dropped and these | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
huge deals are being formed? The Iranian 's were waiting, the moment | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
the agreement were settled, to lift the sanctions, businessmen were | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
pouring into Iran and contracts are being done, quick off the mark. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Absolutely, interesting with this story, these jets, this is a sign of | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
not wanting to replace the existing fleet that they want to become a | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
major interconnecting spot for international air travel and that is | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
reflection of the fact that Iran wants to be a regional superpower, a | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
big way, to take up some of the roles of some of the regional | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
neighbours have got. This is part of a bigger thing that will continue to | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
worry the neighbours. And back on the map for tourism? I would love to | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
go, very interesting and there is plenty to see in Iran. Tom has! Yes, | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
it is a beautiful place. The Guardian. The mark of the asylum | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
seeker, wristbands for food hand-outs. If you want to qualify | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
you must wear them bracelet? Asylum seekers get pushed around and it | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
often come in a terrible traumatised state and they have left terrible | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
issues behind and they tend to be pushed around into immigration | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
centres and anything that humiliates them further is sad. Someone says | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
wristband is discrimination, clear and simple. We are made to feel like | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
second-class humans. Life is tough enough already. I would think that | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
there might be other ways? If you are human, you deserve food? What is | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
the justification? There was a time when I went to nightclubs and we | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
would have these kind of things. But you volunteered! This is the point. | :07:10. | :07:18. | |
It is a simple and practical way to identify people so I can understand | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
this but we also understand that when it comes to receiving welfare, | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
people don't want to be stigmatised by making it very public. We | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
understand that we should be sensitive about these issues so it | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
is strange that this system, although effective and efficient and | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
cost-effective, why there might be problems with that and also in this | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
case, some of the asylum seekers say the concern for security because it | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
might identify them to people who might not like asylum seekers. The | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
red door effect. They will have to change the colours of those doors. | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
Navel-gazing... The Times. The BBC will plead with pensioners to give | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
up free television licences. This is because the cost of the free over 75 | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
TV licence will rest with the BBC after a deal done with the | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
government? This is interesting and that is a of money, it will be | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
difficult for the BBC to make that up so this is possibly one way. But | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
wealthy want welfare pensioners will pay for this and not accepted. And | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
will not accept this giving it free. These campaigns do not work very | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
well and have a look at things like the winter fuel allowance, people | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
said we should refuse it. It does not tend to make much of a financial | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
difference and while it could help solve this particular problem of | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
funding, I would question how many people would actually accept to pay | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
winningly. I declare an interest as a BBC employee and a pensioner and | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
in the House of Lords I did raise this and other people spoke up. It | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
is full of pensioners! It was generally agreed that something | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
should be done to help the situation that could not be retrieved. It | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
should not have happened because the government has used the licence fee, | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
paid by viewers, that BBC belongs to viewers, they pay for it but the | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
government has seized part of that licensee to implement its welfare | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
policy. It has no right to do that. When Gordon Brown decided that | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
anyone over 75 will get a free license, that could have been | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
perceived that the cost of that could have been moved at any point | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
and it was up to politicians to make sure it was presented in a way that | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
it could not be off-loaded on the BBC for the next government. It | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
should not have been off-loaded onto the BBC, it is bringing together two | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
entirely different functions of the state, one of which is the licence | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
fee which belongs to the BBC, a civic institution which is governed | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
and the government through the licence fee and it has been doctored | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
by the government to take this money for its welfare purposes. We will | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
find out what will happen to the licence fee later, we know what will | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
happen with charter renewal but the idea is famous people, maybe like | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
you, Lord Bragg... Terry Wogan, they will be wheeled out to encourage | :10:26. | :10:34. | |
everyone who can afford it... And me! Thank you very much! You will be | :10:35. | :10:45. | |
encouraged. Of course. It is worth it and I shall pay it. That is one | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
we have got back! We shall look at the final story, the Metro. The US | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
storm will dump six inches in one day. We have seen what this | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
extraordinary storm has done Indian added states and it was stalling | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
over their and we will get the melted variety. It would be nice to | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
have some snow. It is going to be rain for us! I would rather like the | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
snow and Seward the children and people who like to wake up and the | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
world is white. No greater moment than that. I had a tweet from | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
someone investor Virginia who said they could have spent less than | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
seven hours -- could have done something else than shovelling the | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
snow, it has been deadly. About one week ago we had a smattering of | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
sleet on the ground and spent one hour making a 12 inch snowman with | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
my children so it would make my life easier but only for that one hour... | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
Parts of the country here really do not need any more rain. And when you | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
think that America, three feet of snow, what happens when it melts? I | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
hope somebody is across that because melted snow causes flooding. And it | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
could be extensive and damaging. It is not a good outlook. We don't want | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
any more rain here. Communities have already been through it. Sandbags at | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
the ready. This is the problem, the ground is soaked. No ability for the | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
rain to dissipate so we hope it does not end up like this. Maybe it will | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
stay for longer on the ground and it gives them more time for it to | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
dissipate but it is quite worrying. It is indeed. That is it for this | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
section but we will be back again for another look at the front pages | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
at 11:30pm. Stay with us, coming up next, it is Click. | :12:49. | :12:52. |
