:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:18. > :00:20.With me are Reuters Business Correspondent and author,

:00:21. > :00:29.Tom Bergin and broadcaster Joan Bakewell.

:00:30. > :00:34.You have become an author in the build-up!

:00:35. > :00:39.Tomorrow's front pages? The Financial Times focuses

:00:40. > :00:41.executives warning that leaving Europe could damage

:00:42. > :00:45.Metro leads with the killer storm in the US - saying Britain is poised

:00:46. > :00:48.for new floods as the storm crosses the Atlantic.

:00:49. > :00:50.The Telegraph's headline says patients are being given hips made

:00:51. > :00:52.the wrong size after its own investigation

:00:53. > :00:56.IVF hope for older women is the i's lead, saying a controversial cell

:00:57. > :01:01.technique aims to make older eggs young again.

:01:02. > :01:04.The Independent features a picture of one of four dead whales -

:01:05. > :01:06.which have washed up on the North Sea coast.

:01:07. > :01:10.The Express looks at why diet is key to beating arthritis saying that

:01:11. > :01:16.simple changes could ease agony for millions.

:01:17. > :01:19.Osborne in ?3 billion vow to beat malaria is The Times' lead story

:01:20. > :01:22.which says taxpayers are to fund the bulk of a new deal

:01:23. > :01:26.And the Guardian focuses on the treatment of asylum seekers

:01:27. > :01:28.in the UK saying arrivals in Cardiff are being issued with coloured

:01:29. > :01:39.We can start with the independent and this next IVF regulation. It

:01:40. > :01:50.says older women are more like to have babies and makes older eggs

:01:51. > :01:55.young again. I do note that the IVF success rate is very low and costs

:01:56. > :01:59.and friends who tried this have been disappointed over and over again so

:02:00. > :02:04.anything to improve the chances is welcome but the secret to this story

:02:05. > :02:10.is it involves the mitochondria, which is an important part of the

:02:11. > :02:16.cell. And to intervene with this presents all sorts of opportunities

:02:17. > :02:20.for eliminating illness but also sets up resistance because people

:02:21. > :02:24.feel this is a slippery slope, tampering with nature and not to go

:02:25. > :02:28.down that path but one in 5000 people have mitochondria disease in

:02:29. > :02:33.this country so crossing the frontier and dealing with this will

:02:34. > :02:38.make a big difference. That is where the controversy lies. Do we know how

:02:39. > :02:44.expensive this is? Available on the NHS? These questions might come out

:02:45. > :02:48.because of these tests but it will have an impact on a lot of people

:02:49. > :02:53.and the demographic trends are people are having babies older and

:02:54. > :02:56.this is because of increased participation, people cannot afford

:02:57. > :03:02.to get married until later and often older women having IVF is depicted

:03:03. > :03:05.as being very selfish and took them a long time to get their act

:03:06. > :03:09.together but this is a natural function of the world today so this

:03:10. > :03:14.is potentially good news for a generation. It is just one clinic

:03:15. > :03:18.that has applied for the licence so this is an early start and we do not

:03:19. > :03:22.know if it will be granted a licence but this is a move that might be

:03:23. > :03:29.around for some time. The Financial Times, a couple of stories, leaving

:03:30. > :03:37.the EU with damage the UK's global influence, says big pharma.

:03:38. > :03:44.Remaining as part of the EU for the sake of research, this helpful

:03:45. > :03:49.voice? This was before the bankers became the pariah of the business

:03:50. > :03:56.world, in terms of corporate scandals which we have covered, big

:03:57. > :04:07.pharma has had its big share. When the bankers came out to support the

:04:08. > :04:11.stay in campaign, the Brexit campaign said these are not the

:04:12. > :04:16.friends we should have so we're not worried about big pharma but this is

:04:17. > :04:20.an example, David Cameron said to the business community, it needed to

:04:21. > :04:26.get behind the stay in campaign so this could be just a reflection of

:04:27. > :04:31.that. Aren't we seeing all global companies saying we need it in to

:04:32. > :04:34.stay in Europe? Because we deal with Europe and dealing separately with

:04:35. > :04:39.Britain would be quite a difficult thing for global companies to do. We

:04:40. > :04:42.are part of the European enterprise and slowly, all these big companies

:04:43. > :04:48.will come out in favour of staying within Europe? How cohesive are both

:04:49. > :04:54.camps was back not at all. Everybody seems divided. They both have to

:04:55. > :04:59.sort their act out and I see that Nicola Sturgeon suggests it does not

:05:00. > :05:03.have the referendum yet because both sides need to get organised properly

:05:04. > :05:11.and present the cases we can really understand. Staying with the

:05:12. > :05:16.Financial Times, Iran poised to launch their boss jets in a business

:05:17. > :05:21.bonanza. It was a short time since sanctions were dropped and these

:05:22. > :05:23.huge deals are being formed? The Iranian 's were waiting, the moment

:05:24. > :05:29.the agreement were settled, to lift the sanctions, businessmen were

:05:30. > :05:34.pouring into Iran and contracts are being done, quick off the mark.

:05:35. > :05:40.Absolutely, interesting with this story, these jets, this is a sign of

:05:41. > :05:44.not wanting to replace the existing fleet that they want to become a

:05:45. > :05:48.major interconnecting spot for international air travel and that is

:05:49. > :05:53.reflection of the fact that Iran wants to be a regional superpower, a

:05:54. > :05:56.big way, to take up some of the roles of some of the regional

:05:57. > :06:02.neighbours have got. This is part of a bigger thing that will continue to

:06:03. > :06:07.worry the neighbours. And back on the map for tourism? I would love to

:06:08. > :06:14.go, very interesting and there is plenty to see in Iran. Tom has! Yes,

:06:15. > :06:21.it is a beautiful place. The Guardian. The mark of the asylum

:06:22. > :06:29.seeker, wristbands for food hand-outs. If you want to qualify

:06:30. > :06:32.you must wear them bracelet? Asylum seekers get pushed around and it

:06:33. > :06:38.often come in a terrible traumatised state and they have left terrible

:06:39. > :06:42.issues behind and they tend to be pushed around into immigration

:06:43. > :06:49.centres and anything that humiliates them further is sad. Someone says

:06:50. > :06:54.wristband is discrimination, clear and simple. We are made to feel like

:06:55. > :07:00.second-class humans. Life is tough enough already. I would think that

:07:01. > :07:05.there might be other ways? If you are human, you deserve food? What is

:07:06. > :07:09.the justification? There was a time when I went to nightclubs and we

:07:10. > :07:18.would have these kind of things. But you volunteered! This is the point.

:07:19. > :07:21.It is a simple and practical way to identify people so I can understand

:07:22. > :07:26.this but we also understand that when it comes to receiving welfare,

:07:27. > :07:31.people don't want to be stigmatised by making it very public. We

:07:32. > :07:35.understand that we should be sensitive about these issues so it

:07:36. > :07:39.is strange that this system, although effective and efficient and

:07:40. > :07:45.cost-effective, why there might be problems with that and also in this

:07:46. > :07:48.case, some of the asylum seekers say the concern for security because it

:07:49. > :07:53.might identify them to people who might not like asylum seekers. The

:07:54. > :08:01.red door effect. They will have to change the colours of those doors.

:08:02. > :08:07.Navel-gazing... The Times. The BBC will plead with pensioners to give

:08:08. > :08:15.up free television licences. This is because the cost of the free over 75

:08:16. > :08:19.TV licence will rest with the BBC after a deal done with the

:08:20. > :08:24.government? This is interesting and that is a of money, it will be

:08:25. > :08:31.difficult for the BBC to make that up so this is possibly one way. But

:08:32. > :08:38.wealthy want welfare pensioners will pay for this and not accepted. And

:08:39. > :08:42.will not accept this giving it free. These campaigns do not work very

:08:43. > :08:46.well and have a look at things like the winter fuel allowance, people

:08:47. > :08:51.said we should refuse it. It does not tend to make much of a financial

:08:52. > :08:55.difference and while it could help solve this particular problem of

:08:56. > :09:01.funding, I would question how many people would actually accept to pay

:09:02. > :09:05.winningly. I declare an interest as a BBC employee and a pensioner and

:09:06. > :09:09.in the House of Lords I did raise this and other people spoke up. It

:09:10. > :09:14.is full of pensioners! It was generally agreed that something

:09:15. > :09:21.should be done to help the situation that could not be retrieved. It

:09:22. > :09:27.should not have happened because the government has used the licence fee,

:09:28. > :09:31.paid by viewers, that BBC belongs to viewers, they pay for it but the

:09:32. > :09:36.government has seized part of that licensee to implement its welfare

:09:37. > :09:41.policy. It has no right to do that. When Gordon Brown decided that

:09:42. > :09:43.anyone over 75 will get a free license, that could have been

:09:44. > :09:47.perceived that the cost of that could have been moved at any point

:09:48. > :09:51.and it was up to politicians to make sure it was presented in a way that

:09:52. > :09:55.it could not be off-loaded on the BBC for the next government. It

:09:56. > :10:00.should not have been off-loaded onto the BBC, it is bringing together two

:10:01. > :10:03.entirely different functions of the state, one of which is the licence

:10:04. > :10:08.fee which belongs to the BBC, a civic institution which is governed

:10:09. > :10:11.and the government through the licence fee and it has been doctored

:10:12. > :10:15.by the government to take this money for its welfare purposes. We will

:10:16. > :10:20.find out what will happen to the licence fee later, we know what will

:10:21. > :10:25.happen with charter renewal but the idea is famous people, maybe like

:10:26. > :10:34.you, Lord Bragg... Terry Wogan, they will be wheeled out to encourage

:10:35. > :10:45.everyone who can afford it... And me! Thank you very much! You will be

:10:46. > :10:51.encouraged. Of course. It is worth it and I shall pay it. That is one

:10:52. > :10:57.we have got back! We shall look at the final story, the Metro. The US

:10:58. > :11:02.storm will dump six inches in one day. We have seen what this

:11:03. > :11:09.extraordinary storm has done Indian added states and it was stalling

:11:10. > :11:14.over their and we will get the melted variety. It would be nice to

:11:15. > :11:18.have some snow. It is going to be rain for us! I would rather like the

:11:19. > :11:22.snow and Seward the children and people who like to wake up and the

:11:23. > :11:27.world is white. No greater moment than that. I had a tweet from

:11:28. > :11:33.someone investor Virginia who said they could have spent less than

:11:34. > :11:39.seven hours -- could have done something else than shovelling the

:11:40. > :11:44.snow, it has been deadly. About one week ago we had a smattering of

:11:45. > :11:50.sleet on the ground and spent one hour making a 12 inch snowman with

:11:51. > :11:54.my children so it would make my life easier but only for that one hour...

:11:55. > :11:59.Parts of the country here really do not need any more rain. And when you

:12:00. > :12:05.think that America, three feet of snow, what happens when it melts? I

:12:06. > :12:09.hope somebody is across that because melted snow causes flooding. And it

:12:10. > :12:15.could be extensive and damaging. It is not a good outlook. We don't want

:12:16. > :12:20.any more rain here. Communities have already been through it. Sandbags at

:12:21. > :12:25.the ready. This is the problem, the ground is soaked. No ability for the

:12:26. > :12:30.rain to dissipate so we hope it does not end up like this. Maybe it will

:12:31. > :12:34.stay for longer on the ground and it gives them more time for it to

:12:35. > :12:40.dissipate but it is quite worrying. It is indeed. That is it for this

:12:41. > :12:48.section but we will be back again for another look at the front pages

:12:49. > :12:52.at 11:30pm. Stay with us, coming up next, it is Click.
