Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:16.:00:18.

With me are the Economics Commentator for the Daily Telegraph,

:00:19.:00:25.

Liam Halligan, and the Economics Editor of the Independent, Ben Chu.

:00:26.:00:31.

The Telegraph says the details of 800 terror suspects

:00:32.:00:33.

It reports that errors by spies and the police meant that the DNA

:00:34.:00:41.

samples of one in ten extremists had to be discarded.

:00:42.:00:45.

The 'i' newspaper has Boris Johnson calling David Cameron a cynical

:00:46.:00:49.

Prime Minister, and accusing him of being powerless

:00:50.:00:51.

The Sun pictures David Cameron with his fingers in his ears

:00:52.:01:07.

at the news of another 330,000 migrants.

:01:08.:01:20.

The Financial Times says the campaign for Britain to leave

:01:21.:01:23.

the EU is receiving twice as much in donations as the remain campaign,

:01:24.:01:26.

The Times says plans for a European Army are being kept

:01:27.:01:29.

secret from voters until the day after the referendum.

:01:30.:01:32.

The Metro leads with the story of a little girl who was rescued

:01:33.:01:36.

from the Mediterranean, when the boat she was in capsized

:01:37.:01:39.

And, The Guardian says secretive firms are buying up the capital.

:01:40.:01:53.

It reports that 40,000 properties in London are now owned

:01:54.:01:56.

We cannot really avoid starting with all of these migration figures,

:01:57.:02:07.

quite picture of David Cameron turning a deaf ear to a bombshell of

:02:08.:02:15.

figures. Classic bit of photo shop. It was always going to be a big

:02:16.:02:21.

moment, the migration figures before the big vote. It's the number one

:02:22.:02:25.

concern of many voters and the biggest trump card believe campaign

:02:26.:02:33.

has. The papers like the sun and express were going to play this for

:02:34.:02:42.

all its worth. A high number of net migration and immigration directly

:02:43.:02:47.

from the EU. Papers like this have used it to say exactly this is why

:02:48.:02:51.

we need to get out of the EU because there is no chance of bringing down

:02:52.:02:56.

the migration unless you don't have any more freedom of movement which

:02:57.:03:00.

is why it's so easy for people from Europe to come and live and work in

:03:01.:03:05.

the UK. It's sensitive timing. Left than a month to go, coming down to

:03:06.:03:17.

the business end of the campaign and the FrontPage reminds me of the dead

:03:18.:03:25.

parrot or Neil Kinnock and the light bulb. Almost a record and Leave will

:03:26.:03:43.

play it as hard as they can. Nigel Pharoah saying it's out of control

:03:44.:03:48.

and set to get worse -- Nigel Farage. But people say that we need

:03:49.:03:57.

them for the NHS and the service sector. A think tank stressing that

:03:58.:04:03.

a high proportion of migrants in the UK currently have come from the EU

:04:04.:04:08.

under a points -based system they may net get a visa. Interesting, the

:04:09.:04:16.

guardian have the same story down the side, feel free to move away,

:04:17.:04:22.

very much the same figures but it's interesting what the different camps

:04:23.:04:28.

are doing. This quote from David Davies saying immigration could fall

:04:29.:04:33.

to near zero in some years if the UK opted for Brexit. People making

:04:34.:04:39.

quite assertive claims. He is a big Leave complainer of course. Yes, and

:04:40.:04:46.

if you plug zero migration into all the network models we have been

:04:47.:04:50.

having you get a very bad outcome because economic models assume that

:04:51.:04:55.

net migration is a boost to growth. It's a question of if it is a boost

:04:56.:05:00.

to GDP per head but it's certainly a boost to GDP. If David Davies is

:05:01.:05:07.

right and that is the Leave campaign objective, to have zero net

:05:08.:05:11.

migration that makes it a lot harder to say the economy will not suffer,

:05:12.:05:18.

living standards will not suffer. Saying there will be no more

:05:19.:05:22.

migration. I think this is mischief, David Davis, I am not his spokesman

:05:23.:05:27.

but he clearly doesn't believe that and did think anybody in the Leave

:05:28.:05:34.

camp once zero net migration. -- wants. Many people are saying even

:05:35.:05:42.

if you stay, if you want access to the single market you have to accept

:05:43.:05:46.

this open borders policy, you cannot just say we wanted anyone. There are

:05:47.:05:57.

some saying we could have a Norwegian style access to the single

:05:58.:06:05.

market, we need a WTO style agreement which would mean no more

:06:06.:06:08.

contributions but they have big implications. It would be net

:06:09.:06:14.

emigration set by the British government from year to year.

:06:15.:06:20.

Different trade agreements come with different restrictions in terms of

:06:21.:06:24.

the free movement of people. Leave campaigners would say we are in the

:06:25.:06:28.

UK, the fifth biggest economy in the world, we have ?60 billion deficit

:06:29.:06:35.

with the rest of the EU who want to sell us stuff so there would be a

:06:36.:06:41.

negotiation. You are saying about a bit of mischief making, take us to

:06:42.:06:47.

the times because there is a suggestion that there had been plans

:06:48.:06:52.

for an EU army which have been somehow sidelined until after the

:06:53.:06:56.

vote. You could argue this is mischief avoiding from David

:06:57.:07:00.

Cameron, the last thing he would want is something like this coming

:07:01.:07:06.

out in the middle of this campaign. They say it's an EU army, if you

:07:07.:07:12.

actually read it it's talking about European military and organisational

:07:13.:07:15.

structures being a bit more coordinated. You could argue that

:07:16.:07:19.

the beginnings of a European army or a bit more now to look operation

:07:20.:07:22.

between lots of countries who share the same goals and have a lot of the

:07:23.:07:28.

same objectives. So obviously, they have delayed it, and you can say

:07:29.:07:33.

that's a terrible way of, an democratic way of not giving people

:07:34.:07:40.

all the information. Just like people are complaining that Chilcot

:07:41.:07:43.

has been delayed until after the referendum because that will make

:07:44.:07:46.

people angry with the government. But this is a bit of a nonstory when

:07:47.:07:51.

you read it. It's interesting because even though emigration will

:07:52.:07:57.

stay a big theme until polling day we will quite quickly move on to

:07:58.:08:02.

security and defence, the idea are we more secure within the EU,

:08:03.:08:12.

because of Nato, using the five eyes, the intelligence sharing

:08:13.:08:17.

network, this campaign has a long way to run. Strap yourselves in!

:08:18.:08:23.

Stay with me, let's move to the Daily Telegraph, they have laid on a

:08:24.:08:30.

different story, we will go down the side to France and the fuel strikes

:08:31.:08:34.

and we should not be going there. Very much on the eve of a long bank

:08:35.:08:40.

holiday story, a lot of people will be off to France. The RAC saying if

:08:41.:08:44.

you have not invested much money in going to France perhaps you will be

:08:45.:08:49.

better off not getting involved because there are nationwide

:08:50.:08:54.

strikes, air traffic control, fuel hauliers, they don't have any petrol

:08:55.:09:04.

at a great deal of stations. The RAC is warning if you go to France you

:09:05.:09:07.

might get stranded without petrol and we can't cope. They are taking

:09:08.:09:15.

quite a strong position. Yes. They have to look after their members.

:09:16.:09:20.

What I find interesting is its one of the few things that we would

:09:21.:09:24.

agree on, that France needs these reforms badly. The French labour

:09:25.:09:32.

market is very gummed up with regulations and they need a shot in

:09:33.:09:35.

the arm from this kind of thing. It has got the French out, the unions

:09:36.:09:41.

out seeing you are attacking our sacred 35 hour week. Can you give us

:09:42.:09:47.

a ten second reminder? It's essentially to give employers more

:09:48.:09:54.

rights and more flexibility about how they run their companies about

:09:55.:09:58.

like what the UK had before Thatcher came along. The French never had a

:09:59.:10:02.

parallel deregulation of the labour market. To some degree it socially

:10:03.:10:09.

accepted... So that's what it's all about. Typical French way of doing

:10:10.:10:14.

things, you go on the street and hammer it out and maybe get some

:10:15.:10:20.

reform. Just to stress, there are families and holidays involved, I

:10:21.:10:24.

mentioned it, but to stress, it's not just freight hauliers and

:10:25.:10:28.

petrol, it also air traffic control, a lot of flights have been cancelled

:10:29.:10:32.

so before you go to the airport for the long weekend check your flight.

:10:33.:10:38.

I like this detail tucked away saying do not attempt to take

:10:39.:10:42.

supplies with you to France since many very operators have a five

:10:43.:10:47.

litre limit due to the fire risk. I have hideous visions of people

:10:48.:10:50.

stockpiling petrol cans in their books, don't do it. Let's move on to

:10:51.:10:58.

the Metro, some powerful pictures tying in with the issue of

:10:59.:11:02.

migration. This is one of those class of stories which gives you the

:11:03.:11:08.

human face of these terrible, the migration story. Every so often we

:11:09.:11:12.

get something like this which brings it home on a human scale. And

:11:13.:11:17.

nine-month-old baby who was on one of these boats, pictures of the boat

:11:18.:11:21.

collapsing in the Mediterranean earlier this week. She was on the

:11:22.:11:26.

boat, her mother died, the assumption is her father has died as

:11:27.:11:30.

well so she is an orphan and is being looked after by the

:11:31.:11:35.

authorities in Italy. It is just one of those amazing stories where you

:11:36.:11:39.

see the reality behind it. It's not about the numbers, it's not about

:11:40.:11:44.

fear, it's very human and I think everyone can relate to this pull

:11:45.:11:51.

will -- this poor girl. We talk about the fear factor we all have

:11:52.:11:55.

around it. Then you read a story like this and it is moving. Of

:11:56.:12:01.

course, you can do anything other than massively sympathise and be

:12:02.:12:06.

moved by it and nor would you. The UNHCR numbers are pretty horrific

:12:07.:12:10.

for the number of people did last summer. Thousands. It's likely to be

:12:11.:12:19.

the same this summer. The reality is that as the weather improves

:12:20.:12:22.

throughout June more people will do this, we will get more photographs

:12:23.:12:26.

like this, more pictures on the news. It is hateful to say but that

:12:27.:12:32.

will have political ramifications and implications and it just goes to

:12:33.:12:37.

show, there is a lot of people trafficking going on and a lot of

:12:38.:12:42.

unscrupulous people making money by preying on people's hopes and

:12:43.:12:48.

dreams. Just time to squeeze in the Financial Times. You should have

:12:49.:12:55.

started with this, you have two nerds here. This is Apple flirting

:12:56.:13:00.

with Time Warner, what has been going on? There has been a big trend

:13:01.:13:04.

of techie groups wanting to own their own content and now we have

:13:05.:13:08.

rumours, what we have here is a stylised rumour of Apple broaching a

:13:09.:13:17.

merger with Time Warner. Rupert Murdoch tried to buy Time Warner and

:13:18.:13:24.

his bed was rejected. Amazon and Netflix are creating huge amounts of

:13:25.:13:28.

their own content, Apple may be interested in buying a content

:13:29.:13:31.

provider. This is interesting for Apple because they are one of the

:13:32.:13:35.

biggest companies in the world but sales have been coming off a bet,

:13:36.:13:40.

the market has slightly turned on them. It's very speculative, this

:13:41.:13:46.

story, only a suggestion in a meeting a while ago but it's caught

:13:47.:13:49.

the imagination simply because maybe this is the next big move. Good way

:13:50.:13:56.

of boosting your share price! You are cynical! Thank you gentlemen,

:13:57.:14:00.

that is all for now don't forget all the front pages can be found online.

:14:01.:14:05.

You can see the detailed review there.
