:00:00. > :00:00.Wenger has discussed the end of the Premier League. That is all in

:00:00. > :00:13.sports day and I will be back just after the papers.

:00:14. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:17. > :00:20.With me are Phillipa Leighton-Jones of the Wall Street Journal and

:00:21. > :00:30.The Independent leads on the EU-Turkey summit - describing

:00:31. > :00:34.what it calls "a growing sense of dread" that any deal to return

:00:35. > :00:39.The i says 40 migrants per day are trying to enter the UK.

:00:40. > :00:42.The EU is planning to end Britain's control over its own asylum numbers

:00:43. > :00:51.The Bank of England is preparing to pump billions

:00:52. > :00:56.into the UK economy to stave off a collapse in the financial markets

:00:57. > :01:00.in case there's a vote to leave the EU, that's in the Daily Telegraph.

:01:01. > :01:02.The Daily Mail says that Downing Street phoned the Director

:01:03. > :01:10.General of the British Chambers of Commerce, hours before he was

:01:11. > :01:13.suspended over comments suggesting Britain should leave the EU.

:01:14. > :01:15.The Times leads with figures suggesting

:01:16. > :01:17.the taxpayer would save seventeen billion pounds if ministers scrapped

:01:18. > :01:21.the planned new nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point.

:01:22. > :01:24.The Guardian has an investigation showing what it calls

:01:25. > :01:26."the true extent of the financial crisis gripping young adults".

:01:27. > :01:28.And the Metro leads on that positive drugs test

:01:29. > :01:47.Just before we review of all that, but what about the events in

:01:48. > :01:51.Brussels. A newspaper is quoting a spokesperson saying that the summit

:01:52. > :01:59.with Turkey is over and a statement has been agreed, it does not

:02:00. > :02:04.elaborate. And eight spokesperson is hailing and EU breakthrough with

:02:05. > :02:10.Turkey at that summit. Still awaiting further details are

:02:11. > :02:13.marketed would appear after further discussions that we brought news you

:02:14. > :02:21.about an hour ago, but some sort of revolution has been arrived at.

:02:22. > :02:33.Why don't you start, Hugo? It is easy to think this is all about the

:02:34. > :02:39.politics and what Turkey once and what they will get, the invocations

:02:40. > :02:43.30 European Union and all of these other things. You have this very

:02:44. > :02:50.powerful image on the front page and it reminds us, but that is not what

:02:51. > :02:55.it is about. This is what it means to be a refugee and to be an asylum

:02:56. > :03:03.seeker and migrant. There are humans here and they are the people we are

:03:04. > :03:07.talking about. If they are forced to return, and they suspect they will

:03:08. > :03:13.be, violence may erupt in border camps. Because they will be so

:03:14. > :03:17.desperate in their circumstances getting out the direction they

:03:18. > :03:21.wanted to go and enforced to go back. As many of us would be.

:03:22. > :03:25.They've spent their life savings making this journey to get as far as

:03:26. > :03:30.they have and they have no money left. They are not going back and

:03:31. > :03:35.they are doing some desperate measures. Some of them are holding

:03:36. > :03:40.children overboard, holding knives and threatening to take action with

:03:41. > :03:46.their own minds just because they are so desperate not to go back. And

:03:47. > :03:49.the image of a boy being trapped and the board is being closed in the

:03:50. > :03:57.Balkans, there is nowhere further for them to go. This sums it up. It

:03:58. > :04:01.is worth remembering that the influx continues and people keep coming

:04:02. > :04:04.through the winter, and of course as the weather starts getting better,

:04:05. > :04:09.they are exporting a whole new wave of migrants which is why these talks

:04:10. > :04:12.are happening now. I'm just looking at a couple of other lines coming

:04:13. > :04:23.out of Brussels, they are talking about that the agreement has

:04:24. > :04:26.finished. They are planning to discuss it again at a summit at the

:04:27. > :04:32.17th of March, but it is not clear how much. Of course Turkey has been

:04:33. > :04:35.using this to push its European Union a gender and push for more

:04:36. > :04:40.access to Turkish citizens across-the-board as. Turkish is

:04:41. > :04:44.using this fall political posturing and it will be interesting to see

:04:45. > :04:49.what comes out of that. The stakes are high for Britain as well and

:04:50. > :04:53.nothing would kill David Cameron's hopes of keeping us in the European

:04:54. > :04:58.Union more soundly than Brussels are minding that the UK accepts more

:04:59. > :05:05.people than it wants to. Let me stay with you and the Guardian front

:05:06. > :05:11.page, and this is a reference to the refugee and migrant issue but it is

:05:12. > :05:16.taking us to the UK. This is about people who made it through the

:05:17. > :05:19.tunnel and what happened to them when they got here. It is talking

:05:20. > :05:28.about a few hundred people but they were kept in a shared near the

:05:29. > :05:31.tunnel for up to and over 24 hours and slept on a concrete floor in the

:05:32. > :05:36.shared and did not get a chance to change out of their wet clothes,

:05:37. > :05:41.given no food, and when asked for food they were given nine, and were

:05:42. > :05:49.not given blankets. Many of them were dehydrated, had scabies and

:05:50. > :05:54.diarrhoea. It is a smaller but people and that is all of the more

:05:55. > :05:58.shocking. We can do more than that. I don't like to think we have that

:05:59. > :06:02.kind of country. This is the Chief Inspector of prisons disclosing some

:06:03. > :06:10.of the information that we are alluding to. 381 children, some of

:06:11. > :06:24.them who are not accompanied via parent, and the soap terrify --

:06:25. > :06:29.these were terrified children. I would not have expected this. A lot

:06:30. > :06:33.of people reading this would not have expected that we treated

:06:34. > :06:38.migrants like that and we can only hope that things will get better

:06:39. > :06:54.than that. Going to the front of the Times we all mention 2-storey. -- to

:06:55. > :07:00.-- two stories. This is the chaos about the referendum and the chaos

:07:01. > :07:07.that has been coarse about the uncertainty about the possibility of

:07:08. > :07:11.a Brexit. Banks trading partners are unsure about what is going on.

:07:12. > :07:15.They're pumping money into the economy but they are offering banks

:07:16. > :07:18.loans in returns the assets and more money than they normally would to

:07:19. > :07:25.keep those banks solvent in case it is the threat of a run. There are

:07:26. > :07:29.talks about this being an unprecedented move and this is an

:07:30. > :07:34.unprecedented move. The Bank of England is putting in contingency

:07:35. > :07:39.places in case people were going to come out about how they are going to

:07:40. > :07:44.keep stability in the financial sector. The Governor of the Bank of

:07:45. > :07:49.England will be asked about Brexit and he has been asked about Brexit

:07:50. > :07:59.planning for a long time and now he can finally revealed some details. I

:08:00. > :08:04.think this is not a sinister as much as the out will make it to be. It is

:08:05. > :08:07.interesting the different takes the different newspapers have on the

:08:08. > :08:17.same story. As far as the Telegraph is concerned this is an attempt to

:08:18. > :08:23.scare people. Be afraid. Whereas the Times has the same story and saying

:08:24. > :08:29.it will all be fine. And of course making references to the Scottish

:08:30. > :08:35.Referendum. People may ask why was it so secretive, and the reason I

:08:36. > :08:38.assume it was secret and public now, it was secret because there was some

:08:39. > :08:46.turmoil and they would try to avoid that. Let us stay with the Times,

:08:47. > :08:51.the nuclear deal that will save ?17 billion. There is a time when

:08:52. > :08:56.controversy and disaster about where it will go about Britain's plan to

:08:57. > :09:01.build a new generation nuclear power stations. These are essential to

:09:02. > :09:16.keep the light on but to meet our carbon emission commitments. Is been

:09:17. > :09:21.a it has been a controversial -- it has been a controversial deal. It

:09:22. > :09:26.was struck when other forms were more expensive and nuclear power is

:09:27. > :09:29.going to be more expensive. There are some suggestions that the deal

:09:30. > :09:37.will fall apart. They lost their finance chief just a few days ago.

:09:38. > :09:44.Things seem to be very much on the edge. The problem is that the

:09:45. > :09:49.subsidies they been offered are three times the current electricity

:09:50. > :09:57.price. This is not due to come online until 2025. Politically this

:09:58. > :10:01.was a great deal for the UK and China and the relationship building

:10:02. > :10:06.with France. Actually, economically it does not stack up. The government

:10:07. > :10:10.did not know what it was doing and it is the worst deal I've ever seen,

:10:11. > :10:15.said one energy consultant, while at the same time the politicians are

:10:16. > :10:23.saying this is groundbreaking. The problem is with the EDF it has an

:10:24. > :10:26.agenda. We don't save ?17 billion in the end because we have to spend

:10:27. > :10:32.money getting the power if we don't spend it there. We can get it more

:10:33. > :10:35.cheaply than it is suggested. The Financial Times is talking about

:10:36. > :10:43.this as well with the United powers are lining. This is not just an

:10:44. > :10:48.industry story, this goes right to the heart of government. This is

:10:49. > :10:52.about written's flagship idea about keeping the lights on and combating

:10:53. > :10:58.climate change. It is about the French premier energy company.

:10:59. > :11:02.France has a better history with nuclear power and they have a huge

:11:03. > :11:07.amount more than we do. Henceforth, build a nuclear power stations in a

:11:08. > :11:14.more sensible way. Someone described this morning as British nuclear

:11:15. > :11:22.power industry is a repeated active moon shots. We just go to the front

:11:23. > :11:26.page story with reference to the climate change issue, really if you

:11:27. > :11:32.do move away from nuclear power, it is argued, and to a different

:11:33. > :11:35.alternative, it wouldn't not necessarily fulfil the climate

:11:36. > :11:40.change agenda. And maybe there is long-term view is to be taken but in

:11:41. > :11:44.the short-term, this may be an economic deal, but in the long-term

:11:45. > :11:47.it pushes down nuclear agenda and it might get us to that same situation

:11:48. > :11:59.with France where we are building sensible nuclear plants. Many ways

:12:00. > :12:03.of looking at it. Let us finally just reflect what has happened to

:12:04. > :12:08.Maria Sharapova. Obviously we have been covering this when it broke a

:12:09. > :12:18.couple of hours ago. The Metro, judging by their headline, is not

:12:19. > :12:26.very sympathetic. They are using the same time. The medicine she was

:12:27. > :12:29.taking from 2006, prescribed by her family doctor and she does not say

:12:30. > :12:33.she was taking it for sporting purposes as you says it is only just

:12:34. > :12:38.been, six months ago I believe, been banned. She kept taking it and she

:12:39. > :12:42.is now tested positive at the Australian Open. She gave a press

:12:43. > :12:51.conference last night and people assumed she was about to announce

:12:52. > :12:55.her retirement. Yes they did. This is good to have a big impact on her

:12:56. > :13:00.career and what she is left of one. That is the point because we don't

:13:01. > :13:04.understand but there is a ban starting on Saturday, and we don't

:13:05. > :13:17.how long that will be for. She doesn't know how long I do. --

:13:18. > :13:22.either. She does admit that there is accountability on her part. She did

:13:23. > :13:29.open an e-mail that said that this substance was banned. She said I

:13:30. > :13:35.held my hand up and that is my fault and I should have been more cautious

:13:36. > :13:41.and careful. On that note, thank you both. Before we move onto other

:13:42. > :13:42.matters we're going
