Beginning with the penultimate paper that I mentioned, The Daily Mail.

Why don't you kick us off with a reference to Britain's trade

slumping? We will expect many more Europe front pages to come in the

next few weeks. This focuses on these statistics. The Mail says

Britain's exports to Europe are lagging behind exports to the rest

of the world and focuses on the cup between what Europe sells and the

initial amount we managed to sell them. The conclusion is it's a boost

for the Leave campaign because the rest of Europe is so desperate for

us to carry on buying their stuff that they will offer us favourable

trade deals if we offer to leave. We thought it wasn't much to boast,

which may not be the case. The Mail is splashing on this tomorrow. There

have been a series of very pro Brexit front pages. Very influential

newspapers. We assume it will all be for coming out of Europe, but it

hasn't done that yet. This front pages suggest it might. Is that your

reading? Yes. Within the story, and it in the headline, they've brought

in completely different angles. They say Turkey's Foreign Minister warns

1 million more refugees could flee Syria if President Putin continues

his bombing campaign. New figures show ten times as many migrants

arrive in Europe. It has nothing to do with the trade issue. They are

trying to say that if we leave the EU we leave these problems, which is

not true. If you leave the EU you will change certain aspects but not

geography. They are trying to link these issues but haven't. On the

trade slump is interesting because they save Britain's love buying

French wine, German cars. -- say Britons. We know that. But we are

propping up a struggling economy, is what it says. There is a quote, EU

nations would be happy to strike trade deals following the Brexit,

adding they would not want to impose trade barriers because it is so

profitable. I can hear what the PM would say, he isn't arguing that we

can't be a successful trading nation outside the EU. The argument put

forward is that we would be better off inside the EU, not that it would

be a disaster if we left. I don't see those sorts of statistics as the

clinching argument, but clearly if you are John River End you would be

-- gone you would we wanted to push the line. Internationally speaking,

people think that British economy is more attractive being part of the

EU, even though it isn't part of the eurozone, which is a good balance to

strike. Who wants to take us to this cartoon which is striking a similar

note? I think it is a brilliant cartoon on the Telegraph front-page

about the Brexit. Now we have the angel of death coming to visit us.

Clearly a political note, saying we are sick of the scaremongering.

Presumably that's David Cameron? Well, it is the Angel of death. It

could be this thing off them refusing this idea... Still four

months to go! Staying with the Telegraph. This is the story about

Deutsche bank. Significant falls in their shares. We spoke about this

earlier. The Financial Times has this as their lead story as well.

This is written from the point of view of trying to make us believe

that it's a threat to all of our financial health, not just joined

the bank. I'm not an expert on what they're falling share price means

for the rest of us. -- Deutsche bank. There have been stories about

gathering economic dark clouds. I think when the FTSE falls it

normally comes back and it doesn't necessarily point to some sort of

fresh economic crash. It depends how far it falls. Obviously that they

will one day come but in recent weeks the FTSE has fallen and gone

back up again and got a less attention when it did, but

economists will tell us we are closer to the next recession. We

look at the German economy and what it means, the fact that this story

and that this story and Batty the FT finance minister coming out and

saying Deutsche bank is OK. -- the fact that. 80,000 staff got a letter

saying they are rocksolid. It is indicative of the fact that they

don't want jitters. We had the shares falling over 40% of the

beginning of the year, which is indicative of the price fall. But it

could be propping up again soon and we are all just getting nervous. But

with everything happening on the markets, I think there is some

concern to be had. Because people's pensions are wrapped up in the FTSE.

One of the points the Telegraph is making. Yesterday when I sat here we

had a brief conversation with my two reviewers about David Cameron's

Mahbub. Now the Mirror, and it was the Mirror then, talks about his

arms. -- mother. She also lives in Oxfordshire and is very worried

about cuts being imposed by Oxfordshire council because funding

has been cut so dramatically by Mr Cameron. She goes further than

Cameron's mother. The story yesterday was that his mother signed

a petition. Here's aunt says it is shortsighted, a great error. I am

pretty sure she directly blamed the government and said it was a matter

for the government rather than purely for a council, which is of

course embarrassing for the Prime Minister. It is trying to calculate

where it might rank on the list of political leaders embarrassed by

their relatives. Tony Blair's father-in-law was always popping up.

It isn't as bad as that, I think, as Margaret Thatcher's son who was so

embarrassing he had to be banished from the country and later got

involved in a military coup. I think Cameron has some way to go before he

reaches that. Interesting, we were discussing this earlier, David

Cameron's Mum was a trending hashtag on Twitter. This is also about

children's centres that are being threatened in Oxfordshire. This is

about families and an impact they have on either care homes or

children's centres. The fact that it is his family commenting on it is

interesting. It does affect people's lives. It is politically

embarrassing. David Cameron has written his own letter. Some Labour

MPs call it the lead of the anti-austerity movement in

Oxfordshire. Maybe tomorrow they will ask if that's a title held by

his mum. Go into the front of the Times. The Telegraph has this as

well. Drink-driving limit facing first cut in a generation. Yes. This

is a story about the possibility of this cut. There is still no serious

consideration about it, however, Andrew Jones, the Roads Minister,

said he plans to discuss with the Scottish minister of the experience

of lower limits, which they did in Scotland. I have to say Scotland has

cut the limit from 80 mg to 50 mg, which brings it in line with France,

Italy, Germany. It is actually more Europe wide. So, this is important

in the sense that for those who drink and possibly drives this is

going to be the lowest... The first revision in about 50 years. I don't

drink, so for me it looks very interesting because I think... I

always consider how people measure what they drink. It is serious

because of the impact it has on road safety and apparently in Scotland

drink-driving offences have dropped from 4200 to about 3600 since they

imposed this new limits. I think we felt the story didn't quite

deliver, in that it is based on a written parliamentary answer, rather

than an interview with the minister. And of course you would expect him

perhaps to have talks with neighbouring country, Scotland,

which has made this change. I will call it a country! Apologies.

Obviously it will be a significant change. It hasn't happened yet. It

has a certain logic because we have had restrictions on mobile phone use

when driving a car, so I suppose that the direction it is going in.

It's something safety campaigners have talked about and been pushing

for for some time. Staying with the Times. I think it is mentioned on

the front and covered inside. Wealthy towns urged to take their

share of asylum seekers. This is the story the Times has led on, in

exposing how unfair the disposal of asylum seekers around the country

has been. In terms of the poor areas, they've taken very large

numbers. No area is supposed to take more than one asylum seeker per

200, but Middlesbrough has taken on to 180. That has increased tensions

in the local community. There could be a shortage of housing. That's why

they should try to do it more fairly. David Cameron's area has

zero, the Home Secretary's area has five, the Chancellor's two. Today

they say they will try to or intended to spread their more

effectively. But in these areas housing is cheaper and more

available. Clearly there is some effort to put the asylum seekers in

Britain are part of the -- parts of the country is, -- country. Easier

to say than do. Thank goodness this is talking about housing them in

towns rather than detention centres. We have seen some of the events that

have happened. For people seeking asylum there is a mixup in some of

the language used here. We talk about migrants and they talk about

asylum seekers and they talk about those coming from Syria as migrants,

whereas in reality they are refugees. There has to be some

sensitivity. But it goes back to the point of when local councils are

facing cuts, when it is a time of austerity, then it has to be equal

burden sharing. That's what this is leading to. But there's a report

mentioned here by the overseas development institute about what is

important. You want to put people where there is work and if they have

family and friends you want to bring them into society and make sure that

if their asylum application is accepted that they are integrated

one way or another. The point made here, just looking at the Times'

take on it, migrants were influenced by the presence of friends and for

the already in Britain or in other EU states, dictating where they want

to go. The other part of the story is we will have many more asylum

seekers arriving in the country because we reluctantly were forced

to accept a larger number coming from a Syrian region. Small, in

comparison with the European countries, but more than they

currently are, so the pressure of finding them somewhere to live will

grow. On that note, thank you both very much. Coming up next, it's time

for
