:00:00. > :00:15.Cardiff that eventually cost Shaun his place. -- the miscue.

:00:16. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:19. > :00:22.With me are Cassell Bryan-Low from the Wall Street Journal

:00:23. > :00:24.and Ben Chu the Economics Editor at the Independent.

:00:25. > :00:33.Tomorrow's front pages...starting with...

:00:34. > :00:40.Considering what you both specialise in, the Financial Times, it is a

:00:41. > :00:45.very good place to start, and not Europe. Would you like to start us

:00:46. > :00:50.off, the Fed, fretting over the risks to the US economy, one

:00:51. > :00:55.question, haven't we known about this for ages? What is new today is

:00:56. > :01:00.that they have released the minutes from their discussions in January,

:01:01. > :01:03.watch that reveals, is that the Fed officials struggled with uncertainty

:01:04. > :01:09.about the outlook both for inflation and the economy and they seemed to

:01:10. > :01:13.fall into two camps, one who thought that there were risks emerging for

:01:14. > :01:20.the economy and another camp who were wait and see. What do you read

:01:21. > :01:25.into this, even more pessimism? It is pessimism but they are reflecting

:01:26. > :01:28.the mood in the markets, this was not new, Janet Yellen was up before

:01:29. > :01:33.Congress and she said pretty much what these minutes say. What is

:01:34. > :01:34.really interesting is what the markets are saying about the rate

:01:35. > :01:38.rises, not so long ago they thought rises, not so long ago they thought

:01:39. > :01:42.that there would be four rate rises and now they think there will be

:01:43. > :01:47.none. That is a reflection of how much the markets think the Fed will

:01:48. > :01:49.be spooked by all of the sell-offs in the commodity markets and

:01:50. > :01:55.interest rates will stay much lower than they were thinking one month

:01:56. > :01:59.ago. We see the actual financial markets bouncing up in the last few

:02:00. > :02:03.days, quite surprisingly to me, will that go on all will it spooked them

:02:04. > :02:07.and they will go down the other way? What we have seen in the last few

:02:08. > :02:13.days was a correction after very heavy losses, so it is a sign that

:02:14. > :02:18.there are some investors out there who feel that there is some bottom

:02:19. > :02:25.fishing to be done. Bargain-hunting. Same thing, but my guess is is that

:02:26. > :02:30.we will see a lot more volatility to come and I don't think we have seen

:02:31. > :02:34.you end of it. This is all about Apple refusing to unblock one

:02:35. > :02:37.iPhone, but they would argue it is not just one iPhone, if you unblock

:02:38. > :02:42.one of them then you unblock all of them. That is the argument that the

:02:43. > :02:47.head of Apple is making, he says that it may seem like a very

:02:48. > :02:53.sensible thing, there is a terrorist who shot up a place last year and

:02:54. > :03:00.you want to go into the phone and find out what the links are. But

:03:01. > :03:05.precisely that, if you do one, you do them all potentially. And whose

:03:06. > :03:07.hands could this be in? You may trust the government today but who

:03:08. > :03:13.will be the government next year will future is, it is a very Dane

:03:14. > :03:17.Coles president, they are effectively being asked to hack all

:03:18. > :03:23.of their users. It is something that affects a huge number of people. Is

:03:24. > :03:29.the technology not already there to deal with it phone by phone? Rather

:03:30. > :03:33.than affecting everybody? I think the principle is the nature of

:03:34. > :03:37.software, if you unlock one version of it, it applies to all phones.

:03:38. > :03:43.What is interesting is that it is not just a debate in the US, but it

:03:44. > :03:46.is in the UK, where intelligence officials are saying that this kind

:03:47. > :03:52.of encryption is making their job a lot harder, you will have the US

:03:53. > :03:59.technology companies making the same point, that it is about protecting

:04:00. > :04:02.the privacy and security of the customers, there is a bunch of

:04:03. > :04:07.criminals who are trying to hack our phones all of the time so it is

:04:08. > :04:11.difficult. Let us whiz on, we cannot get away from Europe. Daily

:04:12. > :04:18.Telegraph. Angela Merkel looking particularly fierce. Deal or no

:04:19. > :04:22.Deal? Bring us up to date with what the Telegraph is saying. This is the

:04:23. > :04:28.story about David Cameron is about to enter 48 hours of talks to secure

:04:29. > :04:33.the deal on his arms on a change relationship. He has had a mixed

:04:34. > :04:37.day, Angela Merkel made it very helpful intervention saying that the

:04:38. > :04:40.British demands were justified. Meanwhile in a reminder of the

:04:41. > :04:45.battle he faces, even after he secures this deal, he still has too

:04:46. > :04:52.convinced the British public which in many ways will be a much bigger

:04:53. > :04:55.back. We go to the front page of the garden, I suppose there is somebody

:04:56. > :05:00.who wants to persuade, Boris Johnson. Wearing a hat which makes

:05:01. > :05:04.them look like you should be on an underground station. This is the

:05:05. > :05:11.business, there are things going on in the Tory party that makes things

:05:12. > :05:15.going on in Brussels pedestrian. Yes, you would almost think that the

:05:16. > :05:20.fate of your arrests in the hands of Angela Merkel and Boris Johnson,

:05:21. > :05:25.Angela Merkel has made a helpful intervention and him somewhat less

:05:26. > :05:28.so. He is parading around Downing Street, being equivocal about

:05:29. > :05:33.whether he will back the deal or not. The Tory grassroots and the

:05:34. > :05:40.Eurosceptic wing, are hoping that he will be their leader. But he is

:05:41. > :05:45.still sitting on the fence. So Cameron has a lot of battles to

:05:46. > :05:50.fight, Yaz got a battle to fight in Brussels to get over the line -- he

:05:51. > :05:56.has got. Then he has too convinced his own party, that he has got a

:05:57. > :06:02.good deal. A battle on multiple fronts. There is talk of a plan B in

:06:03. > :06:06.case things go wrong in Brussels? The hope is still that everyone

:06:07. > :06:11.reaches a deal this week, but there are issues that remain, we have

:06:12. > :06:18.British officials saying over the last couple of days that if they

:06:19. > :06:20.don't reach a deal this week, it will be maybe several weeks before

:06:21. > :06:27.EU leaders can get together again that will derail hopes of having a

:06:28. > :06:35.referendum in June. And the front page of the metro, something to make

:06:36. > :06:40.a shiver. It is a radioactive theft? It is an eye-catching headline that

:06:41. > :06:47.suggests that Daesh or Islamic State has stolen a stash of nuclear

:06:48. > :06:55.material, on closer inspection it does seem to be a little Finlay --

:06:56. > :06:59.thinly sourced. It does not have a more specific attribution but

:07:00. > :07:03.clearly this is something that everyone is concerned about, they

:07:04. > :07:10.appear to have access to chemical weapons before, getting something

:07:11. > :07:14.that they could make a dirty bomb out of us... It is interesting, they

:07:15. > :07:19.don't even use the term Isis, good for them. They say that Daesh has

:07:20. > :07:26.used chemical weapons in the past, did I miss that? When have they been

:07:27. > :07:31.using chemical weapons? Poison gas maybe? Certainly in the Syrian Civil

:07:32. > :07:35.War they have been used and there is dispute about who used them. But

:07:36. > :07:40.this is not a story that has been picked up by many other news

:07:41. > :07:44.outlets, it seems a bit odd, that a US owned oil plant would have

:07:45. > :07:48.nuclear material in it in Iraq, we should take these things very

:07:49. > :08:00.seriously, but you need to find a lot more about this before you start

:08:01. > :08:07.drawing firm conclusions. OK so let us go to the i. This is a story that

:08:08. > :08:12.may have moved everybody terribly, we have seen the headline, the

:08:13. > :08:20.meningitis vaccine plea wins huge support. People might not know. It

:08:21. > :08:27.is the most unbelievably sad story. It is a two-year-old girl, she

:08:28. > :08:35.caught meningitis B, after 11 days she died on Valentine's Day. Now her

:08:36. > :08:40.mother has publicised a picture of her, a dramatic picture of her

:08:41. > :08:46.before she died, to raise awareness for the campaign, she wants a

:08:47. > :08:51.meningitis B vaccine to be made available to all children. At the

:08:52. > :08:55.moment, it is up to those of one years old, but her daughter was two

:08:56. > :09:00.when she caught it. It has record fire online, huge numbers of people

:09:01. > :09:08.have signed up and have called for the government and the NHS to make

:09:09. > :09:11.it available. Tricky, because stocks of its hollow block with this degree

:09:12. > :09:19.of public feeling, you would have two suspects. Do you have children?

:09:20. > :09:27.With the mother of a glossier old boy strikes close to home. A lot of

:09:28. > :09:33.credit to parents, at an extremely difficult time to have the strength,

:09:34. > :09:37.to publicise the issue. We have had a few stories about meningitis in

:09:38. > :09:45.the papers, it has helped to raise awareness. There is a story a little

:09:46. > :09:50.while ago, a small child, the signs of meningitis were missed, so it is

:09:51. > :09:56.good to raise awareness for it. To you think this is the way to go for

:09:57. > :10:02.it? It is going to be very difficult to ignore it, there are lots of

:10:03. > :10:07.medical issues around. And the NHS is strapped for resources, they are

:10:08. > :10:10.already being cutting edge by offering this in the first place.

:10:11. > :10:21.One of the first countries to offer that, and clearly they had to make

:10:22. > :10:30.some decisions about priorities, it is very difficult. Bendy you have --

:10:31. > :10:35.then do you have children? Yes, for parents this will be a very emotive

:10:36. > :10:40.story. I'm surprised not to see it in the front pages, maybe it will be

:10:41. > :10:46.later. We will have a chance to look at the other front pages later on.

:10:47. > :10:53.Thank you very much indeed. That is it from the papers for this hour, we

:10:54. > :10:56.will be back at half past 11 looking at the front pages. Time now on BBC

:10:57. > :11:07.news for sports stay.
