:00:00. > :00:00.prepare to defend their Davis Cup title. We will head to the women's

:00:00. > :00:13.football team in Florida. Hello, and welcome to our look ahead

:00:14. > :00:16.to what the papers will be With me are Miranda Green

:00:17. > :00:19.from the Financial Times, and the Telegraph's media

:00:20. > :00:34.commentator Neil Midgely. Before we hear from them let's show

:00:35. > :00:39.you... Know, we are going to go straight to the Metro, we are not

:00:40. > :00:42.going to tease you extract there we go, live television! Britain will

:00:43. > :00:54.face consequences once President Hollande, that is the pretty brand

:00:55. > :00:57.headline -- blunt headline. David Cameron had a summit with Francois

:00:58. > :01:00.Hollande today, after which President Hollande gave a press

:01:01. > :01:04.conference in which he said quite carefully that he wasn't threatening

:01:05. > :01:09.any harm to the friendly relations between our two great nations. But

:01:10. > :01:12.he did say that he wanted the British people to be aware that

:01:13. > :01:17.there would because quinces of voting to leave the EU, not least

:01:18. > :01:21.the question of immigration, because the Jungle camp in Calais, this

:01:22. > :01:24.question of people flocking up through the continent and then they

:01:25. > :01:28.stopped at the channel. He was saying this would not apply any

:01:29. > :01:32.more, effectively these people would come to the UK as not be stopped in

:01:33. > :01:43.France. This is a significant intervention, because a few days ago

:01:44. > :01:46.David Cameron tried to argue this and was sort of shouted down and

:01:47. > :01:48.accuse of scaremongering, which is the word of the week, but this is

:01:49. > :01:50.President Hollande saying, no, absolutely, the French would no

:01:51. > :01:52.longer hold British immigration inside French borders. Quite

:01:53. > :01:57.significant. Let's talk about the word scaremongering. We are seeing

:01:58. > :02:00.these headlines in other papers and globally, they use the word

:02:01. > :02:06.scaremongering, that is going to be used by those who want out of the

:02:07. > :02:10.EU. We are hearing a lot of this word at the moment. It goes back to

:02:11. > :02:15.the Scottish independence referendum and project fear, the staying

:02:16. > :02:19.together in the UK campaign was blocked project fear because it is

:02:20. > :02:24.all about, this will be the great unknown if we broke up the UK, if we

:02:25. > :02:28.broke up the EU that is the great unknown, lots of terrible things to

:02:29. > :02:33.be scared. I have to say, not sure that David Cameron will want people

:02:34. > :02:37.to be reading this. It is probably quite good for him that we get this

:02:38. > :02:42.out of the way early in the campaign, because actually threats

:02:43. > :02:47.from the French president are not, psychologically, you know the kind

:02:48. > :02:51.of, the British voter's psychology I don't think is the thing, oh, the

:02:52. > :02:55.French president thinks we should stay in the EU and is threatening us

:02:56. > :02:59.if we leave, in which case we will do exactly what the French president

:03:00. > :03:02.says, I don't think that is how your average British voter thinks, I

:03:03. > :03:06.think they are a bit more contrary than that, especially whether French

:03:07. > :03:10.is concerned. It is a difficult balance, if your strategy is based

:03:11. > :03:13.on warning people about risks, if you overdo it you become like a

:03:14. > :03:18.parent whose child is no longer listening. How to base a whole

:03:19. > :03:24.campaign on play it safe, don't leave, when there is concern that

:03:25. > :03:27.the other side are going to accuse you of scaremongering, also that the

:03:28. > :03:33.voters will cease to believe your warnings of the risks. It is a

:03:34. > :03:37.really tricky walk. The thing about the Jungle camp at Calais, as we

:03:38. > :03:42.have discussed before on the papers, that is a bilateral deal between

:03:43. > :03:45.France and the UK, it is not technically affected by Britain

:03:46. > :03:50.leaving the EU. So what the French president is effectively saying is,

:03:51. > :03:56.I will take my back at my ball and my stumps home if you decide to

:03:57. > :04:04.leave the EU. -- my bat. Is it not EU policy that controls it? Feruz

:04:05. > :04:10.and EU asylum process, it isn't working -- there is an EU asylum

:04:11. > :04:14.process. The specific deal allows us to do British immigration tracks on

:04:15. > :04:19.French soil, this is an Anglo-French deal, not EU deal. President

:04:20. > :04:26.Hollande is then, if you leave the EU I will have a strong Pantera pie

:04:27. > :04:33.thought our bilateral deal. -- I will have a strop. That is a

:04:34. > :04:37.small-minded, petty way of looking at things. If he is not trying to

:04:38. > :04:42.tear up the historical ties and all the lovely history we have with the

:04:43. > :04:46.French. I'm not sure about that. Another EU referendum story emerged

:04:47. > :04:50.today, much more in the Telegraph tomorrow, is about how top business

:04:51. > :04:55.leader says he sees a bright future in Brexit, a comment that created

:04:56. > :04:58.divisions within the business community, particularly between

:04:59. > :05:03.small and large businesses. It is really interesting, this. There

:05:04. > :05:07.several associations that represent employers at the CBI, which is the

:05:08. > :05:12.big employers, there is also the engineering employers Federation,

:05:13. > :05:16.there is the BCC, which this story is about, the British Chambers of

:05:17. > :05:20.Commerce. And there is the small businesses Association as well. They

:05:21. > :05:24.all take a different position. This is the BCC leader, John Longworth,

:05:25. > :05:29.the Director-General, saying that he personally favours an exit. It is

:05:30. > :05:33.quite an interesting story actually because it then goes into the fact

:05:34. > :05:38.that the Business Secretary Sajid Javid of course is known to be a

:05:39. > :05:41.lifelong sort of Eurosceptic, but is actually backing David Cameron's

:05:42. > :05:45.deal and backing the campaign to get the people of this country devote

:05:46. > :05:50.the Main. Again, it is another story which brings up this idea of which

:05:51. > :05:57.side is the risk on -- to vote remained Macri. This guy is saying,

:05:58. > :06:01.we could have a great future. Sajid Javid is saying, there is risk on

:06:02. > :06:04.both side and there is a lot more certainty on staying in, that is

:06:05. > :06:08.from a lifelong Eurosceptic. It just draws attention to the fact that

:06:09. > :06:11.this whole campaign, we have got four months of this, the whole

:06:12. > :06:15.campaign is going to be, where do you see the balance of risk? And

:06:16. > :06:21.interesting quote from Mr Longworth, he said, in the long run we have the

:06:22. > :06:25.capacity and capability to create a brighter economic future outside of

:06:26. > :06:29.the EU, just as we would have done had we had the opportunity to this

:06:30. > :06:35.day in a truly reformed EU. Which of course goes back to the Boris

:06:36. > :06:42.position, which Boris has now I think resigned from, for today, this

:06:43. > :06:47.week, which is, you know, if we say, no, the only countries that the EU

:06:48. > :06:51.ever listens to our countries which say no, if we vote no in the

:06:52. > :06:54.referendum that doesn't mean not out, it means go back to the

:06:55. > :06:59.negotiating table. There are echoes of that and what Longworth has said.

:07:00. > :07:02.It did not work for the Greeks, they thought they could hold the EU to

:07:03. > :07:06.ransom by voting no to something, and what happened after that was

:07:07. > :07:12.that they were just punished, essentially. Whilst business leaders

:07:13. > :07:16.are arguing this out, it is becoming increasingly relevant, it is not

:07:17. > :07:20.just about economics, it is about jobs and businesses and surviving

:07:21. > :07:25.and who does what jobs. It suddenly starts to become even more relevant.

:07:26. > :07:29.It is about a holiday home! That is on the front page of The Times. We

:07:30. > :07:34.haven't got it now. The Times is worried about your holiday home in

:07:35. > :07:39.France. And what Brexit would do to that. The freedom of travel for your

:07:40. > :07:44.holiday, absolutely. We will move onto the Telegraph, and talk about

:07:45. > :07:48.the US elections. Very interesting events today. Donald Trump, as you

:07:49. > :07:52.saw on BBC News, dividing the Republicans. Mitt Romney coming out,

:07:53. > :07:59.this is something the Telegraph reported on their front page, Mitt

:08:00. > :08:04.Romney lasts dangerous, quoting him, Trump -- blasts. He said worse than

:08:05. > :08:12.dangerous. It was wonderful, wonderful fun to watch speech

:08:13. > :08:17.because he did what the American -- the Americans call fried him. He

:08:18. > :08:20.said Trump's promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump

:08:21. > :08:25.University, pretty cutting. When Mitt Romney was running for

:08:26. > :08:29.president last time, he was endorsed by Donald Trump. Donald Trump have

:08:30. > :08:33.hit back immediately to might with his own press conference in which he

:08:34. > :08:37.pointed out that Mitt Romney he says begged for the endorsement of Donald

:08:38. > :08:41.Trump, he would have gone on his knees to get me to endorse him, Key

:08:42. > :08:44.said. This fighting at the top of the Republican party as the

:08:45. > :08:48.establishment tries to stop Trump, actually it is a bit of a gift to

:08:49. > :08:53.Trump. The difficulty is that the Republican establishment, as today

:08:54. > :08:58.the personified by Mitt Romney, doesn't actually have an

:08:59. > :09:03.alternative, and apparently viable alternative to Trump. I was chatting

:09:04. > :09:07.to a friend of America dock you have been hearing rumours? I heard

:09:08. > :09:14.rumours that Romney will himself drawing the race. If you go to Mitt

:09:15. > :09:16.Romney's website, it is paid for by Romney for president Inc. You heard

:09:17. > :09:18.it here first! You'll both be back at 11.30pm

:09:19. > :09:23.for another look at the stories But coming up next,

:09:24. > :09:29.it's time for Sportsday.
