since early this morning has died despite rescue efforts to save it. | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
With me are Benedicte Paviot, a correspondent from France 24 | :00:19. | :00:28. | |
and Hugh Muir, a columnist for The Guardian. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
The Syria crisis is the lead for the Guardian, | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
it says that Russian airstrikes on civilians are pushing tens of | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
thousands of people towards Turkey in what it calls a new exodus. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
The Times says that the campaign to leave the EU has | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
surged to a record poll lead of nine points; it says voters have rejected | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
The Metro thinks the Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
in the middle of a legal farce, as the Foreign Office rubbishes UN | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
claims that he is being unlawfully detained. | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
Child abuse allegations are the focus | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
It says the former head of the army, Lord Bramall, | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
was forced to live under the weight of false allegations for nearly | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
The Independent accuses top city law firms | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
It says bills of up to ?1100 an hour are denying | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
The Financial Times leads with losses at Credit Suisse, | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
it says shares in the bank have fallen to their lowest point | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
The Mirror says that government cuts to social care mean that thousands | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
of patients ready to be released from hospital are forced to stay | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
there because they have nowhere to go. | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
And the Express also leads with the European Union, | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
the newspaper's online poll suggests 92% of people want to leave the EU. | :01:40. | :01:50. | |
Let us begin. Let's go to the Times, EU campaign surges to record | :01:51. | :02:04. | |
levels. This is very dramatic. It says that the out campaign after the | :02:05. | :02:19. | |
first week as a 9-point lead. 56 to 44. There are many caveats. The | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
first one is that 19% don't know, so there is a lot to play for there. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
The other thing that strikes one is you look at the number of people who | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
say that they actually support the elements of the deal that David | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
Cameron unveiled this week, and that is 62%, supporting the emergency | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
brake on the number of migrants. So they seem to like bits of the deal | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
but don't particularly like the sound of the package so far. Ther | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
are some dark warnings, from Goldman Sachs and one or two others at | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
investment banks, saying things could go tell a | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
investment banks, saying things could go tell -- terribly wrong for | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
the pound. Some are saying that the pound could lose a fifth of its | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
value is the UK decides to come out of the EU. What is also interesting | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
is that this is the first poll to be conducted after the terms of the | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
draft EU renegotiation will make public, just on Tuesday. What is | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
also interesting is that in this YouGov poll in this article, | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
Rose, who is campaigning... The old Marks Spencer boss. That is true. | :03:37. | :03:48. | |
He claimed that Britain would vote substantial margin, and it would be | :03:49. | :04:02. | |
a huge win. He was immediately criticised, | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
Nigel Farage, he said that he is prediction revealed massive | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
complacency. We are beginning to get polls now, it seems to have shifted | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
to more than out mood. Before we even though the date on which the | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
referendum will take place, and we don't know if it will take place in | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
June, because the February summit will be the crunch decision. Whether | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
it other EU members even agree what is in it. Interesting thing about | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
this poll is that it reminds us that there was a lead of this dimension a | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
couple of years ago, so things have been going the in weight, and now it | :04:45. | :04:56. | |
is going back towards out. I think there needs to be a general health | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
warning on any poll, but I think we will see in every poll it will swing | :05:03. | :05:12. | |
back and forth. I suspect that in will win, whether it is by a | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
significant margin, as Stuart Rose says, we don't know. Put your money | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
there, but don't go and see me if you lose! Apparently 92% wanted quit | :05:26. | :05:37. | |
the EU. You have to read the fine print. It is an online poll of their | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
own readers. It is an exclusive online poll, where 92% voted to | :05:43. | :05:52. | |
leave the EU. The link that the Daily Express is making is to do | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
with the asylum claims. The number of people claiming asylum in Britain | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
rose by almost 50% last summer, has the EU failed to get to grips with | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
the global migration crisis. I think one of the things that is very | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
clearly happening, and where the remain in the EU campaign is not | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
getting a lead on this, is the link between asylum claims and migration | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
is becoming, certainly in the papers, a justification, as if the | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
whole of the EU is about that. There is a huge difference between people | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
who claim asylum and people who succeed in getting asylum. That is | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
why it will be so volatile. All you need is a huge spike in migration, | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
another migration crisis, another wave of migration at the wrong time, | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
and David Cameron may think it is going quite well and then the whole | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
thing could be knocked off course just buy one incident. That is why | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
it will be very volatile. And we can see in the next story that a fresh | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
exodus of people from Syria is expected. Let's go onto that. The | :07:03. | :07:12. | |
amount of money that has been offered up to help refugees, but | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
this story is about Aleppo. This shows why that money is needed, and | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
why so much more is needed. At the same time as the meeting was taking | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
place in London, there are reports of the effects of Russian airstrikes | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
in Aleppo, driving tens of thousands of people towards the Turkish | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
border. Turkey obviously can't cope with that, and what we see in other | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
circumstances where countries have raised money to deal with refugees | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
is that that money hasn't been forthcoming, so whether Turkey will | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
get the help it needs to deal with refugees on that scale is very | :07:49. | :07:57. | |
doubtful. It is an important corrector, because it shows why we | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
need to have these talks. It also shows why the problem needs to be | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
solved at source. We can raise billions of pounds but if people are | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
going to be moving on this scale, then we can't possibly deal with | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
that. We have seen pictures on the size of refugee camps, if you look | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
at some of this it is awful what is happening. Aleppo is just one place. | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
Thousands of people on the move, it seems incredible. That is right, | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
there are real fears of another refugee exodus. 70,000 people are | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
said to be on the move, I mean, this is being called a siege of | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
starvation around Aleppo. I think what is interesting also that is in | :08:44. | :08:51. | |
this article in the Guardian is this warning by the US Secretary of | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
State. As all these pledges were coming in here in London at this | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
conference, John Kerry was calling on the Syrian regime and its allies | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
to hold the bombardment of opposition held areas, saying they " | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
clearly signalled the intention to seek a military solution rather than | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
enable a political one". It is absolutely essential. We have seen | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
those Geneva UN talks fail. What I will be interested in is the speech | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
by the UN Secretary General tomorrow morning in his final year, which is | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
being hailed as a legacy speech, which is organised by Chatham House. | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
It will be interesting to see that in this position some of these | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
leaders are freer to say things in their final year. It is not about | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
money only, as you were saying, but about helping to stop this | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
bombardment. What it is looking like is that Russia is really wanting to | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
help Syria on a military front, and not helping to look for a political | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
solution or resolution. When you see the report in its entirety you will | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
see how the UN will be crucial, because Turkey are angry at the UN, | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
dealing they haven't had the sort of support they should have had. The | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
Turkish government said that just as the UN subsequently felt it had to | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
apologise for failure in Bosnia, it will have to go back to Turkey and | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
apologise for its failure to deal with the Syrian situation. Let's | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
move on to a different sort of angle altogether. The Financial Times, a | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
story about dark ships' unexplained stops in terrorist havens. We are | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
used to having tight security and airports, particularly with the | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
terror threat, and really what the Financial Times has done is look at | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
this from another angle. They are looking at the commercial waters, | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
saying that the Mediterranean is unguarded and there are few ways of | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
tracking ships, dark ships, they say. They are saying there are many | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
movements of them. We don't know if they are people smugglers, drug | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
ships, if bogus shipping logs are being used. It is painting a picture | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
of a very lax security regime on the water. It is mainly because we just | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
haven't really looked at that as being as big a threat as we have | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
with our airports. Again it is a problem of resources. As Europe is | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
really struggling to deal with the migration crisis, its biggest | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
frontier is the sea. 70,000 kilometres, as in this excellent | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
article on page eight of the FT by Sam Jones, and he actually breaks it | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
down. We have always known about ships using flags of convenience, | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
but they give some really... They flesh out the mounting concern for | :11:57. | :12:04. | |
the lack of a comprehensive system. The fact that there was taunting of | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
jihadists, dancing around Europe from Belgium and into France and | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
other countries, there really is concerned. Also, lack of resources, | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
because it is admitted by the maritime authorities that they | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
cannot monitor every ship. When some ships switch off every identifying | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
science and do a U-turn and rendezvous with other boats, this | :12:32. | :12:43. | |
could easily be a terrorist risk. It is unlikely that anyone will be | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
repaired to spend the sort of money it would take to have meaningful | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
security on the sea, because we saw how quickly the spending was reduced | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
on the patrols to find migrant boats. Pretty quickly the money ran | :12:59. | :13:08. | |
out, the... It doesn't make sense to spend all that money, you have to | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
take your shoes and belts off before you go through the airport, and | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
70,000 kilometres of coastline, this makes no sense. We don't even know | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
who is in the UK and who isn't, because they came through the | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
borders yesterday back into the UK and had a chat with those on the | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
French and the British side. It is really easy. Airports are doable, | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
the coast is not, is it? In a sense, what they are saying is that | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
it is an accident waiting to happen. The dog hasn't barked yet. What a | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
perfect cue for our last story! This is the front page of the | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
independent. There is a very large dog on it, and he is apparently | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
yawning. How can you tell if a dog is yawning? Canine boredom epidemic. | :13:57. | :14:05. | |
Have either a few got a dog? I love dogs, I wish I could. It is a wave | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
of canine depression, a boredom epidemic, because the weather has | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
been so dreadful that no one is taking their dogs out for walks. The | :14:17. | :14:29. | |
dogs are going stir crazy, and the Independent has spoken to some | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
experts and come up with some advice. Very briefly. Play games, | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
hide the food and they can look for it, hide toys, stroke them behind | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
the ears, stroke them on the chest. I'm glad we ended on that good | :14:47. | :14:59. | |
story. Thank you both very much. Coming up next, Sportsday. | :15:00. | :15:01. |
