Wenger has discussed the end of the Premier League. That is all in | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
sports day and I will be back just after the papers. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
With me are Phillipa Leighton-Jones of the Wall Street Journal and | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
The Independent leads on the EU-Turkey summit - describing | :00:21. | :00:30. | |
what it calls "a growing sense of dread" that any deal to return | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
The i says 40 migrants per day are trying to enter the UK. | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
The EU is planning to end Britain's control over its own asylum numbers | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
The Bank of England is preparing to pump billions | :00:43. | :00:51. | |
into the UK economy to stave off a collapse in the financial markets | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
in case there's a vote to leave the EU, that's in the Daily Telegraph. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
The Daily Mail says that Downing Street phoned the Director | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
General of the British Chambers of Commerce, hours before he was | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
suspended over comments suggesting Britain should leave the EU. | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
The Times leads with figures suggesting | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
the taxpayer would save seventeen billion pounds if ministers scrapped | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
the planned new nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point. | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
The Guardian has an investigation showing what it calls | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
"the true extent of the financial crisis gripping young adults". | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
And the Metro leads on that positive drugs test | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Just before we review of all that, but what about the events in | :01:29. | :01:47. | |
Brussels. A newspaper is quoting a spokesperson saying that the summit | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
with Turkey is over and a statement has been agreed, it does not | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
elaborate. And eight spokesperson is hailing and EU breakthrough with | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
Turkey at that summit. Still awaiting further details are | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
marketed would appear after further discussions that we brought news you | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
about an hour ago, but some sort of revolution has been arrived at. | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
Why don't you start, Hugo? It is easy to think this is all about the | :02:22. | :02:33. | |
politics and what Turkey once and what they will get, the invocations | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
30 European Union and all of these other things. You have this very | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
powerful image on the front page and it reminds us, but that is not what | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
it is about. This is what it means to be a refugee and to be an asylum | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
seeker and migrant. There are humans here and they are the people we are | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
talking about. If they are forced to return, and they suspect they will | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
be, violence may erupt in border camps. Because they will be so | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
desperate in their circumstances getting out the direction they | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
wanted to go and enforced to go back. As many of us would be. | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
They've spent their life savings making this journey to get as far as | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
they have and they have no money left. They are not going back and | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
they are doing some desperate measures. Some of them are holding | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
children overboard, holding knives and threatening to take action with | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
their own minds just because they are so desperate not to go back. And | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
the image of a boy being trapped and the board is being closed in the | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
Balkans, there is nowhere further for them to go. This sums it up. It | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
is worth remembering that the influx continues and people keep coming | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
through the winter, and of course as the weather starts getting better, | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
they are exporting a whole new wave of migrants which is why these talks | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
are happening now. I'm just looking at a couple of other lines coming | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
out of Brussels, they are talking about that the agreement has | :04:13. | :04:23. | |
finished. They are planning to discuss it again at a summit at the | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
17th of March, but it is not clear how much. Of course Turkey has been | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
using this to push its European Union a gender and push for more | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
access to Turkish citizens across-the-board as. Turkish is | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
using this fall political posturing and it will be interesting to see | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
what comes out of that. The stakes are high for Britain as well and | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
nothing would kill David Cameron's hopes of keeping us in the European | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Union more soundly than Brussels are minding that the UK accepts more | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
people than it wants to. Let me stay with you and the Guardian front | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
page, and this is a reference to the refugee and migrant issue but it is | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
taking us to the UK. This is about people who made it through the | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
tunnel and what happened to them when they got here. It is talking | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
about a few hundred people but they were kept in a shared near the | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
tunnel for up to and over 24 hours and slept on a concrete floor in the | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
shared and did not get a chance to change out of their wet clothes, | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
given no food, and when asked for food they were given nine, and were | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
not given blankets. Many of them were dehydrated, had scabies and | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
diarrhoea. It is a smaller but people and that is all of the more | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
shocking. We can do more than that. I don't like to think we have that | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
kind of country. This is the Chief Inspector of prisons disclosing some | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
of the information that we are alluding to. 381 children, some of | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
them who are not accompanied via parent, and the soap terrify -- | :06:11. | :06:24. | |
these were terrified children. I would not have expected this. A lot | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
of people reading this would not have expected that we treated | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
migrants like that and we can only hope that things will get better | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
than that. Going to the front of the Times we all mention 2-storey. -- to | :06:39. | :06:54. | |
-- two stories. This is the chaos about the referendum and the chaos | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
that has been coarse about the uncertainty about the possibility of | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
a Brexit. Banks trading partners are unsure about what is going on. | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
They're pumping money into the economy but they are offering banks | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
loans in returns the assets and more money than they normally would to | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
keep those banks solvent in case it is the threat of a run. There are | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
talks about this being an unprecedented move and this is an | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
unprecedented move. The Bank of England is putting in contingency | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
places in case people were going to come out about how they are going to | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
keep stability in the financial sector. The Governor of the Bank of | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
England will be asked about Brexit and he has been asked about Brexit | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
planning for a long time and now he can finally revealed some details. I | :07:50. | :07:59. | |
think this is not a sinister as much as the out will make it to be. It is | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
interesting the different takes the different newspapers have on the | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
same story. As far as the Telegraph is concerned this is an attempt to | :08:08. | :08:17. | |
scare people. Be afraid. Whereas the Times has the same story and saying | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
it will all be fine. And of course making references to the Scottish | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
Referendum. People may ask why was it so secretive, and the reason I | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
assume it was secret and public now, it was secret because there was some | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
turmoil and they would try to avoid that. Let us stay with the Times, | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
the nuclear deal that will save ?17 billion. There is a time when | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
controversy and disaster about where it will go about Britain's plan to | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
build a new generation nuclear power stations. These are essential to | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
keep the light on but to meet our carbon emission commitments. Is been | :09:02. | :09:16. | |
a it has been a controversial -- it has been a controversial deal. It | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
was struck when other forms were more expensive and nuclear power is | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
going to be more expensive. There are some suggestions that the deal | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
will fall apart. They lost their finance chief just a few days ago. | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
Things seem to be very much on the edge. The problem is that the | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
subsidies they been offered are three times the current electricity | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
price. This is not due to come online until 2025. Politically this | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
was a great deal for the UK and China and the relationship building | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
with France. Actually, economically it does not stack up. The government | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
did not know what it was doing and it is the worst deal I've ever seen, | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
said one energy consultant, while at the same time the politicians are | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
saying this is groundbreaking. The problem is with the EDF it has an | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
agenda. We don't save ?17 billion in the end because we have to spend | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
money getting the power if we don't spend it there. We can get it more | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
cheaply than it is suggested. The Financial Times is talking about | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
this as well with the United powers are lining. This is not just an | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
industry story, this goes right to the heart of government. This is | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
about written's flagship idea about keeping the lights on and combating | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
climate change. It is about the French premier energy company. | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
France has a better history with nuclear power and they have a huge | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
amount more than we do. Henceforth, build a nuclear power stations in a | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
more sensible way. Someone described this morning as British nuclear | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
power industry is a repeated active moon shots. We just go to the front | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
page story with reference to the climate change issue, really if you | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
do move away from nuclear power, it is argued, and to a different | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
alternative, it wouldn't not necessarily fulfil the climate | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
change agenda. And maybe there is long-term view is to be taken but in | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
the short-term, this may be an economic deal, but in the long-term | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
it pushes down nuclear agenda and it might get us to that same situation | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
with France where we are building sensible nuclear plants. Many ways | :11:48. | :11:59. | |
of looking at it. Let us finally just reflect what has happened to | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
Maria Sharapova. Obviously we have been covering this when it broke a | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
couple of hours ago. The Metro, judging by their headline, is not | :12:09. | :12:18. | |
very sympathetic. They are using the same time. The medicine she was | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
taking from 2006, prescribed by her family doctor and she does not say | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
she was taking it for sporting purposes as you says it is only just | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
been, six months ago I believe, been banned. She kept taking it and she | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
is now tested positive at the Australian Open. She gave a press | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
conference last night and people assumed she was about to announce | :12:43. | :12:51. | |
her retirement. Yes they did. This is good to have a big impact on her | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
career and what she is left of one. That is the point because we don't | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
understand but there is a ban starting on Saturday, and we don't | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
how long that will be for. She doesn't know how long I do. -- | :13:05. | :13:17. | |
either. She does admit that there is accountability on her part. She did | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
open an e-mail that said that this substance was banned. She said I | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
held my hand up and that is my fault and I should have been more cautious | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
and careful. On that note, thank you both. Before we move onto other | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
matters we're going | :13:42. | :13:42. |
