:00:00. > :00:00.crossing from Turkey to Greece. In the next 30 minutes, we take a look

:00:00. > :00:10.at how virtual reality could change are mantic relationships, in Click.

:00:11. > :00:26.-- our romantic relationships. Wellcome to look ahead to the

:00:27. > :00:32.papers. Withers, Kevin Schofield and a journalist on the channel, France

:00:33. > :00:37.24. The front pages, starting with the news of Nancy Reagan, which

:00:38. > :00:40.broke tonight. We will begin with the international version of the New

:00:41. > :00:44.York Times. An influential First Lady who always put her husband,

:00:45. > :00:50.President Ronald Reagan, at the centre of her life and became a

:00:51. > :00:54.political figure in her own right. The Financial Times says she was

:00:55. > :00:57.fiercely protective of her husband and was a significant influence on

:00:58. > :01:01.his presidency. The Telegraph says that she was a First Lady of

:01:02. > :01:07.elegance who left her mark on the world. It says America's political

:01:08. > :01:13.elite has been paying tribute to her. The Daily Mail refers to the

:01:14. > :01:15.direct -- the resignation of the Director General of the British

:01:16. > :01:19.Chambers of Commerce. The metro says...

:01:20. > :01:35.Says that the Royal Navy will be intercepting people smuggler boats

:01:36. > :01:41.in the Mediterranean. The I says... And The Mirror reports that the man

:01:42. > :01:45.accused of stabbing a pregnant woman in Sutton Coldfield is her former

:01:46. > :01:50.partner. The Guardian says that David Cameron will announce that

:01:51. > :01:56.British servicemen will be returning what it calls "Refugees" trying to

:01:57. > :02:02.reach Europe from Turkey. Let's start with the headline in the Daily

:02:03. > :02:08.Mail. An honest man knifed by Number Ten. This is John Longworth, Kevin,

:02:09. > :02:12.who has resigned as director general of the British Chambers of Commerce.

:02:13. > :02:18.He said that he thought Britain could have a brighter future outside

:02:19. > :02:26.the EU. A couple of days ago, he said he was giving his own personal

:02:27. > :02:31.opinion. The BCC is to remain neutral throughout the campaign. At

:02:32. > :02:35.the conference afterwards in a TV interview, he said it was his

:02:36. > :02:42.personal thought that Britain could do well outside the EU. He was then

:02:43. > :02:45.suspended by the BCC, which, in itself, was quite a controversial

:02:46. > :02:49.move with accusations that Number Ten had got involved and put

:02:50. > :02:55.pressure on him to be suspended, given that Number Ten is in favour

:02:56. > :03:01.of remaining in the EU, and tonight, he has quit altogether. This one is

:03:02. > :03:04.going to run and one, I think. It has been denied Downing Street had

:03:05. > :03:10.anything to do with it and had leaned upon him. That he had got the

:03:11. > :03:13.all clear to say what he was going to say. The Daily Mail says that

:03:14. > :03:20.friends insist that John Longworth had cleared his comments in advance

:03:21. > :03:24.with the president of the BCC, a former adviser to Labour's Ed Balls.

:03:25. > :03:31.Liam Polworth, the Eurosceptic former Defence Minister is accusing

:03:32. > :03:35.the government of intimidation, he says, "I want to know what contact

:03:36. > :03:38.might have been made, what pressure might have been applied, if it

:03:39. > :03:43.happened, they should come clean about it." This is getting ugly.

:03:44. > :03:48.This is blood on the carpet. I don't think there has been an outright

:03:49. > :03:52.denial from Downing Street. What was interesting on The Andrew Marr Show

:03:53. > :03:59.was when Andrew Marr asked Boris Johnson whether he thought, whether

:04:00. > :04:04.he was accusing Downing Street of angering and in this, it seems that

:04:05. > :04:08.Boris Johnson was agreeing, he was not accusing Downing Street of this.

:04:09. > :04:12.Obviously, Downing Street will need to move quite quickly to stop

:04:13. > :04:18.rumours or to come clean, one or the other. Let's move on, looking at

:04:19. > :04:24.stories to do with asylum. The Guardian, UK deploys troops in

:04:25. > :04:29.refugee crisis. The Royal Navy is to get involved in the NATO mission.

:04:30. > :04:32.Not a complete surprise. This has been hinted that for quite a long

:04:33. > :04:37.time by Number Ten, certainly by the PM. There will be an amphibious

:04:38. > :04:43.landing ship. This operation will start in the coming days. What the

:04:44. > :04:48.Prime Minister wants to do, that is why he is sending in these troops,

:04:49. > :04:53.under NATO, is very much to stop what he calls the business model of

:04:54. > :04:59.the smugglers. What these smugglers are doing is putting people, as we

:05:00. > :05:03.know, in a Nancy the boats. We have had more drownings yet again today.

:05:04. > :05:09.-- in unseaworthy boats. The Greek by Minister is saying that there are

:05:10. > :05:15.tens of thousands of refugees lining up on their border, with the closure

:05:16. > :05:21.of the Macedonian frontier. Clearly, there was this meeting on Monday

:05:22. > :05:24.which Mr Cameron will be going to. Immigration, once again, has become

:05:25. > :05:30.a big problem for the EU to handle. And we know how determined these

:05:31. > :05:34.people are. They have travelled miles and risk incredible danger.

:05:35. > :05:39.This is Brussels, in the FT, saying, in a bid to centralise the asylum

:05:40. > :05:44.system, risking Eurosceptic aunts -- anger. There is real sensitivity

:05:45. > :05:49.about what is done about centralising this system, in advance

:05:50. > :05:52.of the British referendum because there is concern that it could sway

:05:53. > :05:59.people Bothma could views one way or the other. They seem to be making a

:06:00. > :06:04.decision on this. Downing Street's big fear is that it becomes a

:06:05. > :06:09.referendum on migration, that there are thousands more coming and making

:06:10. > :06:13.their way to Europe and ultimately trying to get to Britain. And the

:06:14. > :06:18.concern is that people will decide how to vote on the referendum based

:06:19. > :06:23.on their views on migration. There seems to be a bit of movement from

:06:24. > :06:30.Brussels that this would change the way things work at the moment. There

:06:31. > :06:35.is a convention at the moment which rules that basically, you can only

:06:36. > :06:40.claim asylum in the first country in Europe that you arrive at, which

:06:41. > :06:45.tends to be Italy and Greece. That is clearly not working. That is not

:06:46. > :06:53.working so this is an attempt to try and change that. In The Daily

:06:54. > :06:57.Telegraph, charities use public cash to call for an end about, in

:06:58. > :07:02.particular, environmental groups, many of whom argue that it is thanks

:07:03. > :07:11.to legislation coming from Europe -- calling for an in vote, claiming

:07:12. > :07:12.that it is because of Europe that we enjoy better environmental

:07:13. > :07:19.protection, cleaner air and clean beaches. Ever sensitivity around

:07:20. > :07:25.accusations of bias, particularly with public facing organisations and

:07:26. > :07:29.this is quite an important story in terms of charities that are using

:07:30. > :07:40.public money to effectively campaign for an in vote. This is

:07:41. > :07:45.controversial for the Eurosceptics. The charities watchdog will issue

:07:46. > :07:49.new guidance on political neutrality after Friends of the Earth, the

:07:50. > :07:52.Wildlife Trust and Greenpeace were all making comments backing EU

:07:53. > :07:59.membership and the article goes on to say, "The concerns are we opening

:08:00. > :08:04.of an new front in the EU referendum, that will see the in

:08:05. > :08:08.campaign dubbed "Project fear" amid claims that it is scaremongering

:08:09. > :08:14.about Brexit. We have got so much time to go. We have the BCC Director

:08:15. > :08:19.General resigning, we have this guidance, this is really looking

:08:20. > :08:24.like it is going to be a car crash of a campaign. It is going to end up

:08:25. > :08:31.with blood on the carpet by the 23rd of June. So many people are saying

:08:32. > :08:34.on social media and in vox pops when they are interviewed, I just want

:08:35. > :08:39.somebody somewhere to give me an overview of what is at stake here,

:08:40. > :08:44.before we get into the arguments, we are already down the road on that.

:08:45. > :08:52.Let's look at The Telegraph for a second. The story of the death of

:08:53. > :08:57.Nancy Reagan at the age of 94, a First Lady of elegance who left her

:08:58. > :09:01.mark on the world. She died today. Many years after her husband died,

:09:02. > :09:09.having nursed him through Alzheimer's disease. She was a big

:09:10. > :09:14.campaigner for that. Interesting because, without being disrespectful

:09:15. > :09:20.to the former First Lady who has died, people will, some people will

:09:21. > :09:24.remember that she initially did not really, for some people, there were

:09:25. > :09:30.quite a lot of critics that she was consulting astrologers, and not

:09:31. > :09:35.expecting to pay for expensive dresses, that she spent a lot of

:09:36. > :09:39.money as people were losing jobs, on the White House. But then that love

:09:40. > :09:44.and fierce support of her husband, that very dignified stance as he

:09:45. > :09:48.went through his illness, has endeared her to the American people.

:09:49. > :09:55.So this Daily Telegraph article says that the raucous American campaign

:09:56. > :10:06.featuring Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton has been put on hold for the

:10:07. > :10:14.time being. This is in 1991, is it? 1981. It really does remind you of

:10:15. > :10:21.what a different world it was. It is ironic that this has happened, this

:10:22. > :10:23.sad event has happened, while the white heat of battle as far as the

:10:24. > :10:28.Republican nomination is concerned is going on. A lot of members of the

:10:29. > :10:33.Republican Party hark back to the days of Ronald Reagan, with the

:10:34. > :10:39.probability that Donald Trump will be the nominee, the party of Reagan

:10:40. > :10:45.and Lincoln, could you really have a guy like Donald Trump? And the First

:10:46. > :10:50.Lady, how much the woman behind the man who has the power, in one of the

:10:51. > :10:59.articles in The Telegraph, I think, said that she was supposed to have

:11:00. > :11:04.helped with the rapprochement between Moscow and Washington. They

:11:05. > :11:09.were both pure Hollywood products. And of course, Jackie Kennedy, such

:11:10. > :11:17.a superbly glamorous former First Lady before her. Let's finish with

:11:18. > :11:20.The Guardian, the great pay divide, women at least ?3000 worse off,

:11:21. > :11:28.looking ahead to International women's Day on Tuesday. This figure

:11:29. > :11:36.is over a career, many years in work -- at least ?300,000 worse off. If

:11:37. > :11:40.you come back in 20 years' time... I will have it now, thank you very

:11:41. > :11:47.much! Why would you be paid less for doing the same job? The glass

:11:48. > :11:55.ceiling does exist. Of course, there has been huge progress. But more is

:11:56. > :12:00.needed to be done. Even though legislation has existed for 40 years

:12:01. > :12:06.to tackle this. The new legislation has been very influential, I might

:12:07. > :12:10.add. It has taken 40 years, and yet still there is this massive gap and

:12:11. > :12:19.it is still an issue. There is no justification for it. There is no

:12:20. > :12:27.justification for! -- for it. It is because I am outnumbered! That is it

:12:28. > :12:36.for The Papers. If you would like to make any comments on Twitter, you

:12:37. > :12:40.can tweak to me @MartineBBC. We will have another look at the front pages

:12:41. > :12:51.at 11:30pm. Coming up next, Click.
