:00:18. > :00:19.Let's see if we can get through the papers.
:00:20. > :00:22.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers
:00:23. > :00:25.With me are Reuters business correspondent and author,
:00:26. > :00:26.Tom Bergin, and broadcaster Joan Bakewell.
:00:27. > :00:40.The Metro leads with the killer storm in the US, saying
:00:41. > :00:43.Britain is poised for new floods as the storm crosses the atlantic.
:00:44. > :00:45.The Telegraph's headline says patients are being given replacement
:00:46. > :00:49."IVF hope for older women," is the i's lead, saying
:00:50. > :00:52.a controversial cell technique aims to make older eggs young again.
:00:53. > :00:54.The Independent features a picture of one
:00:55. > :01:00.of four dead whales, which have washed up on the North Sea coast.
:01:01. > :01:03.The Express looks at why diet is key to beating arthritis,
:01:04. > :01:05.saying that simple changes could ease agony for millions.
:01:06. > :01:08."Osborne in 3 billion pound vow to beat malaria," is the Times's lead
:01:09. > :01:12.story, which says taxpayers are to fund the bulk of a new deal with
:01:13. > :01:21.And the Guardian says asylum seekers in Cardiff are being issued with
:01:22. > :01:25.coloured wristbands for food handouts.
:01:26. > :01:33.We will start with the story on the front of the Times, George Osborne
:01:34. > :01:38.in ?3 billion vow to beat malaria. I never liked the word vow. Taxpayer
:01:39. > :01:47.funds with deal with Bill Gates. Him and his wife, Melinda, have been
:01:48. > :01:49.battling malaria three years. They have been very generous and their
:01:50. > :01:56.foundation has poured money into this. The vow of 3 billion is not
:01:57. > :02:01.new money. It is coming from the existing budget. It is not new cash
:02:02. > :02:05.at all -- three million. It has been taken from the budget, the
:02:06. > :02:10.international development budget, and it will help do something about
:02:11. > :02:16.this. I am not sure people welcome because the spill of malaria affects
:02:17. > :02:21.us all, if it is affecting Africa, as it does and the idea is to
:02:22. > :02:25.eliminate malaria, building on a commitment made by George Osborne
:02:26. > :02:31.when visiting Uganda. This is the kind of deal that gets done in
:02:32. > :02:35.Davos. In the luxury surroundings. I can guarantee you some of the
:02:36. > :02:39.development budget over a drink. The fact it isn't you money, I wonder if
:02:40. > :02:45.it will make a difference to the effectiveness in other parts.
:02:46. > :02:50.Robbing Peter to pay Paul? I suppose it is not new money, so it will have
:02:51. > :02:54.an impact... George Osborne made clear he wanted to spend the aid
:02:55. > :02:58.budget more effectively. One of the things that jumps out at me, I can't
:02:59. > :03:03.help but wonder if it is not also about helping George Osborne. He
:03:04. > :03:07.obviously has ambitions to succeed David Cameron but he has got an
:03:08. > :03:10.image problem. He doesn't look like a nice guy. He has been the person
:03:11. > :03:17.to deliver the bad news art Bell over -- deliver the bad news over
:03:18. > :03:22.the last couple of years. This mightn't be hurtful to his political
:03:23. > :03:26.career. This would obviously serve that purpose. It would help his
:03:27. > :03:30.image if he gave up the high viz clothing. And stop being
:03:31. > :03:34.photographed in factories which are closing down. I suppose he is trying
:03:35. > :03:41.to show that Britain can be effective overseas. That is very
:03:42. > :03:44.good. Not just handing out money. It is often criticised that we give
:03:45. > :03:48.money to places and we don't know where it will end up. It is easy to
:03:49. > :03:59.knock the international development. What does it mean? Giving to people
:04:00. > :04:06.money. This is going on a thoroughly good cause. Let's look at the Daily
:04:07. > :04:12.Telegraph. Send soldiers to EU borders. Britain is told this. Who
:04:13. > :04:16.is doing the telling? The Czech President giving this advice.
:04:17. > :04:21.Britain does not take orders from the Czech President, as wise as they
:04:22. > :04:29.might be on occasion. In this particular case, he is advising,
:04:30. > :04:35.maybe a more kind of robust response, a militaristic response to
:04:36. > :04:38.the refugee crisis. Clearly, eastern European countries are very
:04:39. > :04:43.concerned. And there is a problem. Vast numbers are coming to Europe.
:04:44. > :04:47.Certain countries say they cannot handle those. The question is what
:04:48. > :04:50.to do. The suggestion is Britain and others should send soldiers to the
:04:51. > :04:56.borders and take a more robust approach. The question is, are
:04:57. > :05:00.people ready for that? Do people want a situation whereby there is a
:05:01. > :05:04.heavily militarised European border? Whether the public is ready is
:05:05. > :05:10.unclear. We get away with it a little bit, don't we? When you call
:05:11. > :05:14.in the military, you are taking another step. This is the difference
:05:15. > :05:21.between Eastern European members of the European Union and the West. In
:05:22. > :05:27.fact, they are much more aggressive in keeping people out. The barbed
:05:28. > :05:30.wire is going up in Hungary and elsewhere. They want the European
:05:31. > :05:38.countries to send in 500 soldiers to patrol the border is. It is just
:05:39. > :05:42.another step -- borders. The whole thing is a mess. The crisis will get
:05:43. > :05:46.better. There are big meetings going on, they will go on until some
:05:47. > :05:51.solution, which is not yet on the horizon, arises to deal with this
:05:52. > :05:56.problem. Shall we move on to the FT? A couple of stories. First, leaving
:05:57. > :06:02.the EU will damage UK's global influence according to big Pharma.
:06:03. > :06:06.This is drug makers this time. We have heard warnings from other parts
:06:07. > :06:09.of the industry. Saying that it would mean isolation for
:06:10. > :06:12.scientists. I've heard that they would really miss not so much
:06:13. > :06:16.funding from the EU but the opportunity to participate in
:06:17. > :06:26.research. I think there is a sense that... Being part of the EU opens
:06:27. > :06:28.up science to mutual sopping of information, research, enterprise,
:06:29. > :06:36.checkouts, various ways for testing drugs. I think that Big Pharma is
:06:37. > :06:41.probably right. The influence would be diminished. It is in the interest
:06:42. > :06:46.of global companies to see we remain part of a strong EU. There were huge
:06:47. > :06:52.drug companies before the European Union was in its current form. So,
:06:53. > :06:58.some might argue, if you want to collaborate, you will find our way.
:06:59. > :07:03.S universities have made a similar comment. -- universities. It is
:07:04. > :07:08.quite well understood that big businesses favour membership. We are
:07:09. > :07:12.just seeing more of the same. I am not sure if this is the strongest
:07:13. > :07:18.thing, participation in favour of the campaign. The exit campaign is
:07:19. > :07:23.saying that actually small businesses are much more mixed and
:07:24. > :07:29.would prefer to go out. But we have not seen any polls that are very
:07:30. > :07:32.good on that. It is interesting. He says, she says, it is quite a
:07:33. > :07:35.superficial level. It would be interesting to take it to a more
:07:36. > :07:40.detailed level. That is quite complicated. Trade deals, we have
:07:41. > :07:45.the exit campaign saying we should leave and cut trade deals, for those
:07:46. > :07:49.who want to stay in the issue is, well, that is not very realistic.
:07:50. > :07:56.Almeida trading partners don't want to cut deals with us -- our main
:07:57. > :08:00.trading partners. This is a level of detail which is more difficult to
:08:01. > :08:13.publish. Plenty of deals going on with Iran, 114 Airbus jets to
:08:14. > :08:16.Rahane's business bonanza -- Rouhani. And the Chinese are right
:08:17. > :08:22.on the next plane and did a deal. Now they are doing a deal with the
:08:23. > :08:27.French. They were in readiness. They had made big plans. So have other
:08:28. > :08:32.countries. We are not there yet. We tried to. We hope to be. It is
:08:33. > :08:36.interesting, they upload and in to become a major country in the
:08:37. > :08:39.region. We all know the great rivalry with the Saudis will be
:08:40. > :08:43.problematic. They are getting stuck in. It will be very interesting.
:08:44. > :08:49.With lots of planes flying to and fro it could be a big travel hub.
:08:50. > :08:53.Absolutely. And Iran have said they want to be a travel hub. They want
:08:54. > :09:00.to be players in the aviation industry. Maybe come rivals to the
:09:01. > :09:03.Gulf players like Qatar and MRes. That is a reflection of their bigger
:09:04. > :09:07.political ambitions, to be a regional superpower -- Emirates. Not
:09:08. > :09:13.just in terms of security but also economically. They have potential to
:09:14. > :09:16.do that. They have vast oil reserves and they have population. This will
:09:17. > :09:20.be something that will start to worry their neighbours. We know that
:09:21. > :09:26.oil prices are going down and the industry isn't booming. Tourism
:09:27. > :09:33.could boom, couldn't it? They could well start with weekends over there,
:09:34. > :09:38.or longer, or tours. Once the country opened up we will be
:09:39. > :09:43.queueing up. Returning to the Times. BBC will plead with pensioners to
:09:44. > :09:51.give up free TV licences. This is because the BBC is going to bear the
:09:52. > :09:56.cost of free licenses for the over 75. The idea is that well-known
:09:57. > :10:04.people connected with the BBC will be asked to support this idea. S not
:10:05. > :10:11.wheeled out but asked to support -- not wheeled out. They will stride
:10:12. > :10:15.out. This is an interesting one. It is a campaign to ask people to not
:10:16. > :10:19.accept the free licence fee and to pay it and help make up the
:10:20. > :10:23.shortfall that has been imposed upon the BBC. I have to say, if we look
:10:24. > :10:27.at previous campaigns, where people are encouraged not to accept things
:10:28. > :10:31.for free, they don't work very well. The winter fuel allowance is an
:10:32. > :10:35.example. It is a bigger issue here, the government was looking at the
:10:36. > :10:39.BBC are many in the Conservative Party are not the biggest fans of
:10:40. > :10:44.the BBC and feel it is not their biggest fan, despite the fact that
:10:45. > :10:46.BBC gives a considerable amount of time to politicians. Maybe
:10:47. > :10:53.politicians might want to think about that. So, whether this
:10:54. > :10:59.particular campaign will work, that'll be open to see. Of course,
:11:00. > :11:05.Joe, with your track record, they might ask you to... I do back the
:11:06. > :11:11.idea but I think it is more symbolic than anything else. We back the BBC.
:11:12. > :11:15.Don't let them ruin it. We have one of the most precious institutions in
:11:16. > :11:19.the world of media, and the Tories seem to want to dismantle it, and
:11:20. > :11:26.people are speaking out and trying to defend it. A has said it is to be
:11:27. > :11:28.in places and that it has to think carefully about how it spends the
:11:29. > :11:34.license fees and whether it should be trying to fulfil the areas of the
:11:35. > :11:43.market refuses to fulfil. The market is quite busy and it is not to be
:11:44. > :11:46.unremarked that there are voices in the year of the government that are
:11:47. > :11:50.trying to dismantle it. Not to mention the person who owns the
:11:51. > :12:00.Times. That is true. Also, it is a deliberate attempt to deal with the
:12:01. > :12:10.BBC why hamstring tactics. It is virtually unconstitutional in terms
:12:11. > :12:15.of the way the BBC was set up. And Murdoch is having a big say.
:12:16. > :12:19.Well... What am I supposed to say to that? What I will say is the
:12:20. > :12:27.government will say it can spend its money it chooses. Our money. Our
:12:28. > :12:31.money. Crikey, let's move on. You are going to get me into trouble.
:12:32. > :12:39.Falling giant, spectators transfixed by one of format dead whales on the
:12:40. > :12:46.beach -- four. They are drawn to this sad sight. It is heartrending.
:12:47. > :12:51.The photography is, you know, beautiful journalism but a tragic
:12:52. > :12:54.story. And a terrible moment to find beautiful creatures like this on the
:12:55. > :13:01.shores having been beached against their instincts. Not supposed to be
:13:02. > :13:05.close to shore. They are the most beautiful creatures. People are
:13:06. > :13:10.drawn to them. There is fascination about a major national tragedy.
:13:11. > :13:17.Hopefully the investigators can find out why they are. People have been
:13:18. > :13:21.looking at this for a long time with thoughts about chemicals in the
:13:22. > :13:27.water, whether it could be Sonar, with suspicions in the past, or
:13:28. > :13:32.perhaps it is something seismec, and we would love to get more
:13:33. > :13:40.information. Too many are beaching on the coast. Tom and Joe, lovely to
:13:41. > :13:42.speak to you. That is it from the papers tonight. Coming up next, it
:13:43. > :13:50.is the Film Review.
