:00:00. > :00:00.replays, with Leicester and Liverpool in action. And news from

:00:00. > :00:16.the Australian Open tennis. That's all in 15 minutes, after The Papers.

:00:17. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:20. > :00:23.With me are Pippa Crerar, the political correspondent

:00:24. > :00:26.from the London Evening Standard, and the broadcaster John Stapleton.

:00:27. > :00:33.The Independent's main story is the possible discovery of

:00:34. > :00:39.a new planet, ten times the size of Earth, far out in our solar system.

:00:40. > :00:42.The Financial Times says the falling FTSE means we're on the

:00:43. > :00:47.The Telegraph reports on a ruling that means migrants

:00:48. > :00:50.stranded in Calais can use European human rights laws to join relations

:00:51. > :01:00.Falling global stock markets make the front page of the Guardian.

:01:01. > :01:03.The Times also leads with fears over the economy, caused by volatility

:01:04. > :01:08.The Mirror says a simple test can help doctors accurately predict

:01:09. > :01:16.And the actor Suranne Jones is pictured

:01:17. > :01:21.She's won Best Drama Performance for her role in Doctor Foster,

:01:22. > :01:39.How about we kick off with economic doom and gloom. Yes, the markets are

:01:40. > :01:48.entering their territory, as you indicated, this is because in the

:01:49. > :01:59.Chinese economy. The prospect of interest rising in the US. --

:02:00. > :02:02.interest rises. In the Guardian, they quote the former chief

:02:03. > :02:08.economist of the Bank for International Settlements, he says

:02:09. > :02:15.the problems building up the global financial system are worse than in

:02:16. > :02:20.2007 and one central bank had used up all of their ammunition. We have

:02:21. > :02:26.the guy last week from IDS saying, quote, sell almost everything. He

:02:27. > :02:30.said the party is over. That raises concern among people like myself. On

:02:31. > :02:35.the other hand, people are saying, hang on, it's not as bad as we

:02:36. > :02:43.thought. The Times quote several experts. They use words like hype

:02:44. > :02:50.and panic. The experts suggest that possibly what is happening with the

:02:51. > :02:54.financial markets doesn't quite justified the magnitude of panic

:02:55. > :03:03.that is gripping everyone. The Guardian's peace says we could be on

:03:04. > :03:09.the brink of meltdown. -- piece. Bad news for George Osborne, that three

:03:10. > :03:13.of the papers are splashing on the economy and those fears. People are

:03:14. > :03:17.feeling jittery. The Times focuses on the consumer angle and looks at

:03:18. > :03:21.some of the big British businesses and the impact on them. Billions of

:03:22. > :03:30.pounds knocked off household names like HSBC and BP and Shell. But some

:03:31. > :03:37.suggest it isn't as bad as that and there are indicators, like

:03:38. > :03:41.unemployment being at an all-time low and Grexit is in the US showing

:03:42. > :03:48.expansion, but it isn't all bad news. -- growth figures in the US.

:03:49. > :03:56.This headline suggests it isn't great news. As part of the advice

:03:57. > :04:01.from the gentleman just quoted, think about the long-term. Don't

:04:02. > :04:06.panic and lead to any major conclusions yet. That's precisely

:04:07. > :04:09.what one of the expert says. It is important investors stay focused on

:04:10. > :04:15.the long-term. Staying with the Times. Calais asylum seekers can

:04:16. > :04:24.come to Britain. This is a British court ruling. It was for a Syrian

:04:25. > :04:31.refugee in the notorious Jungle camp in Calais. Refugees had been granted

:04:32. > :04:37.the right to join their family members who had already been given

:04:38. > :04:48.asylum. They were 216 -year-old boys and an older brother. -- two 16

:04:49. > :04:51.-year-old boys. They had been granted permission to come into the

:04:52. > :04:55.UK because of their rights to family life. There are fears in some of the

:04:56. > :05:00.more right-wing papers that this will open the floodgates to lots of

:05:01. > :05:10.claims. The Times suggest it could be hundreds more people, rather than

:05:11. > :05:14.thousands. It points out in a much more measured tone but obviously

:05:15. > :05:21.these particular men have been traumatised by their experience in

:05:22. > :05:26.Syria and written has decided to take 20,000 asylum seekers. --

:05:27. > :05:37.Britain. There is pressure from within EU to take more. They are

:05:38. > :05:41.quoting a figure of 90,000. Then they would have a right under the

:05:42. > :05:49.Dublin agreement to send back migrants who are here in illegally.

:05:50. > :05:53.About 12,000 back so far. The right-wing have jumped on this, as

:05:54. > :06:00.you say. Yes, let's have a look at The Daily Mail. They have a

:06:01. > :06:07.particular take on it. They do. Judges punched effort the hall in

:06:08. > :06:14.Britain's porous borders. They bring a dam across the Channel. I'm

:06:15. > :06:16.interested in that word, gang. Three young lads and a 26-year-old who has

:06:17. > :06:24.a mental issue. There may be evidence for The Daily Mail to use

:06:25. > :06:30.the word gang. It infers criminality. There is a quote from

:06:31. > :06:35.the MP, the former Tory minister, who was a leading Eurosceptic.

:06:36. > :06:43.Helpful. You get the feeling that it isn't quite as balanced piece as it

:06:44. > :06:47.should be. Yes, the quote is that the tribunal should have no business

:06:48. > :06:50.in this matter. We have very strict laws on immigration. It is not for

:06:51. > :06:56.the courts to undermine them in this way. It has further implications for

:06:57. > :06:59.David Cameron, because this overshadows his negotiations with

:07:00. > :07:06.regard to changes in the rules and regulations and arrangements with

:07:07. > :07:12.Europe. Then there's the possibility of the referendum not taking place

:07:13. > :07:15.in June. It might be put back to October and that's something the

:07:16. > :07:19.Tory party would not wish. It may mean that immigration becomes the

:07:20. > :07:23.key issue and we get headlines like this day after day over the summer.

:07:24. > :07:26.And give the government the result in the referendum that they don't

:07:27. > :07:32.want. The Prime Minister would definitely like that referendum to

:07:33. > :07:35.be in June. I think July and it could end up at the end of the

:07:36. > :07:43.summer, but that depends on next month's crucial summit in Brussels.

:07:44. > :07:48.June or July. There will be local elections, including the London

:07:49. > :07:51.mayoral election. Some Tory candidates would be very

:07:52. > :07:54.uncomfortable about a referendum held just months after the mayoral

:07:55. > :07:58.election not least because it would take away activists from stuffing

:07:59. > :08:03.leaflets through letter boxes. It would also defy the party and he is

:08:04. > :08:07.Eurosceptic, so it could be awkward for him in the run-up to that. He is

:08:08. > :08:12.keen for that not to happen in June. But the government will obviously be

:08:13. > :08:19.concerns that if you have a whole summer of stories about whether it

:08:20. > :08:23.it's like this, or some of the other stories we've seen in recent weeks,

:08:24. > :08:27.it could drive immigration further up the agenda and push people away

:08:28. > :08:32.from wanting to stay within the EU. Now, if you like literate if

:08:33. > :08:38.headlines than the Sun is for you. -- literate headlines. Yes, this is

:08:39. > :08:43.the headline. For the benefit of those who haven't been following

:08:44. > :08:47.this, this is related to the uppercrust Tory MP, as the Sun

:08:48. > :08:55.refers to him as, who stunned the House of Commons today I admitted he

:08:56. > :08:58.regularly uses party drug poppers. We should point out that he is gay

:08:59. > :09:03.and he uses this party poppers because apparently they relax the

:09:04. > :09:09.muscles and enhance a gentleman's sexual pleasure. He is voicing

:09:10. > :09:12.concern about the proposal by the government to have them banned. The

:09:13. > :09:28.government aren't just doing this because they are party poopers, is

:09:29. > :09:34.says it is because they can cause death in some circumstances. He says

:09:35. > :09:40.it will drive people like himself into the hands of criminals. And

:09:41. > :09:44.they fall under the bracket of legal highs. They do. They will be banned

:09:45. > :09:55.from April. It was concluded that they would ban them for now but they

:09:56. > :09:57.will hold a review to see if poppers should be part of this band. Various

:09:58. > :10:02.people in the Commons debate today pointed out that poppers are

:10:03. > :10:05.psychoactive in the same way that nicotine, alcohol and caffeine are

:10:06. > :10:08.and if people are aware of the warnings then maybe they should be

:10:09. > :10:13.put in that category, rather than band and forcing people into

:10:14. > :10:19.illegality. Also potentially opening public figures to back the and all

:10:20. > :10:22.those sorts of things. I must admit, the House of Commons didn't seem

:10:23. > :10:28.especially stunned when he spoke about it! Anyway, the Daily Mirror,

:10:29. > :10:35.they talk about a simple test to reveal your dementia risk. Yes. The

:10:36. > :10:38.Sun... Sorry, the Mirror claimed that GPs will now be able to look at

:10:39. > :10:45.a patient's history of depression, alcohol intake diet, weight loss and

:10:46. > :10:48.blood pressure and from that will be able to ascertain the quite a high

:10:49. > :10:52.degree of accuracy whether or not somebody is likely to be at risk of

:10:53. > :10:57.developing dementia. This is for people between the ages of 60 and

:10:58. > :11:02.79. They will get 85% accuracy. The older they are, less likely to be

:11:03. > :11:09.accurate. This opens a can of worms. Dementia affects almost 1 million

:11:10. > :11:13.people in Britain and there's no known cure at the moment. I was

:11:14. > :11:19.under the impression that the majority of cases were, they

:11:20. > :11:23.thought, genetic. It can be slowed down, as long as it is caught fast

:11:24. > :11:31.enough. For example, mental and physical exercise and a healthy

:11:32. > :11:35.lifestyle is key, but there's no cure. I this raises the ethical

:11:36. > :11:41.issue as to whether you would want to know. Exactly. They feed into the

:11:42. > :11:48.system your history, things like depression, stroke, whether you have

:11:49. > :11:52.drunk too much, diabetes, you have an irregular heartbeat, et cetera.

:11:53. > :11:57.They look at this information and they can predict whether you have a

:11:58. > :12:04.likelihood to suffer from dementia or not. Some people may not want to

:12:05. > :12:10.know and whether or not they can do anything about it. Why that stage in

:12:11. > :12:12.someone's life, it depends to what extent they have abused their body

:12:13. > :12:16.or suffered from any of these conditions in the past. The other

:12:17. > :12:20.thing of course is it is great to hear this, obviously it would help

:12:21. > :12:24.people if some treatment could be offered, but the other question is

:12:25. > :12:28.whether the NHS can afford it. You look at the front page of the

:12:29. > :12:32.Guardian and it says Britain is spending less and less on health

:12:33. > :12:35.services by international standards and by 2020 we will have to devote

:12:36. > :12:42.?43 billion more every year just to match the spending of other European

:12:43. > :12:44.countries. Good news, but possibly some way. And as you, ethical

:12:45. > :13:04.concerns. Finishing in space. I have to say, my knowledge of all

:13:05. > :13:11.matters space are based on Star Wars, and my six-year-old son,

:13:12. > :13:17.probably. Several of the papers have this image, which is not a photo, we

:13:18. > :13:22.should say. This is an artist's impression. You might be asking why

:13:23. > :13:27.we had not spotted it before, of the ninth planet that has been

:13:28. > :13:34.discovered. We think we have discovered it. It is believed to be

:13:35. > :13:41.ten times the mass of birth and to speak as Neptune. -- earth. It has

:13:42. > :13:49.been named planet X, which I think is a bit unfair, given the others

:13:50. > :13:53.have quite nice names. I like the language used, it is lurking on the

:13:54. > :14:04.dark icy fringes of the solar system. It is not just there, it is

:14:05. > :14:11.lurking. Research is at the California Institute of technology

:14:12. > :14:17.described it as the most planety planet in the solar system. Maybe he

:14:18. > :14:26.has his knowledge from Star Wars as well. Thank you both very much,

:14:27. > :14:27.coming up next, it is time for
