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.
