:00:00. > :00:00.Treasury claims it could cost households the equivalent of more

:00:00. > :00:14.than ?4000 if we vote to leave in June.

:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers

:00:18. > :00:20.With me are the former Sunday Express Editor,

:00:21. > :00:36.Eve Pollard and columnist for The Telegraph, Tim Stanley.

:00:37. > :00:37.The Daily Telegraph headlines a warning from

:00:38. > :00:40.the Chancellor that public services including the NHS would suffer if

:00:41. > :00:44.The FT says there's evidence of a slowdown in hiring

:00:45. > :00:47.and investment because of uncertainty over whether the UK

:00:48. > :00:51.The Metro reports on the 14-year-olds charged with

:00:52. > :01:07.The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is to take a U-turn in

:01:08. > :01:09.the dispute with Junior Doctors says the Guardian. The i

:01:10. > :01:12.leads with a fierce condemnation of Europe's policy towards Syrian

:01:13. > :01:15.The Daily Express headlines a survey on migration into

:01:16. > :01:19.the UK - 71% of those asked thought migration has been too high.

:01:20. > :01:25.The news that a drone hit a plane on its approach to

:01:26. > :01:28.Heathrow is on the front of the Daily Mail.

:01:29. > :01:30.And it's back to the EU referendum

:01:31. > :01:34.Chancellor saying households will be over four thousand pounds worse

:01:35. > :01:47.Wright we will start with the Times, and that story we have just been

:01:48. > :01:55.mentioned. George Osborne estimating the cost of Brexit will be ?4300 per

:01:56. > :01:59.person. That is the cost they have estimated because they say we will

:02:00. > :02:03.lose trade deals and allsorts of things. If you want to go on holiday

:02:04. > :02:08.abroad you will lose a lot more. I have just come back from America,

:02:09. > :02:17.and the pound and the dollar is not a happy place it used to be, you get

:02:18. > :02:23.$1.40 for the pound, much worse than you used to get. These are the sort

:02:24. > :02:28.of things I think will decide it for people. Currency fluctuates anyway,

:02:29. > :02:32.doesn't it? It has been going down ever since the Brexit thing, and I

:02:33. > :02:43.suppose it will until it is sorted out once and for all. ?4300 per

:02:44. > :02:48.house. It is not a big surprise that the government report issued by the

:02:49. > :02:52.government, when the government is arguing for remain, should come out

:02:53. > :02:55.in favour of remain. I think the public will rightly be sceptical

:02:56. > :03:04.about its claims. The public might also be sceptical about the claims

:03:05. > :03:11.of a Chancellor who said he would reduce the deficit much more than he

:03:12. > :03:16.has done. He has a record. That is true of all political parties, isn't

:03:17. > :03:21.it? It is, and there is risk about leaving the EU. But it is not just

:03:22. > :03:28.our government, it is the governments in the EU. Why do they

:03:29. > :03:32.want to sustain it if it is a hopeless case? Dehra governments

:03:33. > :03:37.outside the EU who are doing perfectly well, and whose economies

:03:38. > :03:43.have flourished. But they are not Great Britain, they are not

:03:44. > :03:47.comparable. No, they are not, we are bigger and better than them. Our

:03:48. > :03:55.clout on the global stage and the ability to negotiate with the EU if

:03:56. > :03:58.we left could be even stronger. There is the possibility that we

:03:59. > :04:05.would vote out and end up going back in a completely different terms. We

:04:06. > :04:19.are straying from what The Times is suggesting. According to the

:04:20. > :04:23.Treasury, investment on hold. This is a survey of 370 European groups,

:04:24. > :04:28.and more than a fifth said they were discouraged from investing, and they

:04:29. > :04:34.are waiting until after the decision in June. I think you can understand,

:04:35. > :04:39.people would wait, everything is sort of on hold. While things are on

:04:40. > :04:42.hold they are not growing. There is no denying, I can only repeat, there

:04:43. > :04:48.is an element of risk whenever you hold any kind of election. There is

:04:49. > :04:56.a threat of a Labour government being elected. Likewise, people are

:04:57. > :04:59.concerned and investors make lots of decisions based on not being able to

:05:00. > :05:05.predict future or being able to predict that. But they also make

:05:06. > :05:10.decisions and think it is a risk to stay in because of the week economic

:05:11. > :05:14.performance of the EU. Some say they don't mind the risk because they

:05:15. > :05:27.want to regain control. Do you think the papers are wearying of it?

:05:28. > :05:31.Definitely, if you do any research, people make their decisions much

:05:32. > :05:38.closer to the date. Some people have already made their minds up the

:05:39. > :05:42.various reasons, but many people consider it seriously about two

:05:43. > :05:47.weeks before. I think the campaign is far too long, and I have always

:05:48. > :05:54.thought it was a plot to bore people off the subject so they would end up

:05:55. > :06:01.voting to stay in. Moving on to the Express. You could argue this is to

:06:02. > :06:08.do with Brexit, but this is the headline. 71% of British people

:06:09. > :06:12.believe net migration has been too high over the past decade. This

:06:13. > :06:16.conflicts with what Jeremy Corbyn said last week in his speech about

:06:17. > :06:19.the EU, where he said in his judgement, too many people have not

:06:20. > :06:24.come to the UK in the last ten years. This is claiming 71% of

:06:25. > :06:29.people think it is the other way around. The government promised to

:06:30. > :06:34.reduce the numbers to the tens of thousands, the net migration rate is

:06:35. > :06:38.around 350,000 per year. This issue bleeds into the EU, and I think a

:06:39. > :06:43.lot of people will vote not so much on the basis of financial risk, they

:06:44. > :06:51.will vote on the basis of what they believe the EU means for

:06:52. > :06:54.immigration. This survey holds? I do think people think Britain is

:06:55. > :06:59.overcrowded because of problems with schools, with the NHS and all the

:07:00. > :07:06.rest of it. I do think though that as far as I know if we leave the EU

:07:07. > :07:10.it won't be as easy for people from the EU to come here, but a lot of

:07:11. > :07:18.people who come here from the EU work. Every waiter, every bartender,

:07:19. > :07:22.does come from the EU. The problem is people who don't want to

:07:23. > :07:26.integrate and become part of Britain. I think that is what people

:07:27. > :07:32.are worried about. And they are also worried about people getting

:07:33. > :07:34.something for nothing. 58% think that citizens of other EU nations

:07:35. > :07:45.should only come if they have the definite job offer. Other countries

:07:46. > :07:49.do this, Australia, America, and I think it is fair to say you want the

:07:50. > :07:53.people who are qualified and will help the country, rather than just

:07:54. > :07:56.anyone who turns up. That is something that I think will happen

:07:57. > :08:04.to this country and has to happen to this country, in a fair way. I want

:08:05. > :08:11.to move on to the Guardian and get off the Brexit. This is claims that

:08:12. > :08:17.Jeremy Hunt may, allegedly, have misled Parliament, and that he won't

:08:18. > :08:22.be able to impose the contract, he will have to introduce it. This is a

:08:23. > :08:26.U-turn on behalf of the Health Secretary on the basis of a letter

:08:27. > :08:31.seen by the Guardian and confirmed by the Department of Health, in

:08:32. > :08:39.which he switches his language and says he will impose a contract, to

:08:40. > :08:43.him introducing the contract. That would suggest Jeremy Hunt does not

:08:44. > :08:48.have the authority claims to have publicly, and that may mean he has

:08:49. > :08:54.misled Parliament. What this means for the strike is that Jeremy Hunt

:08:55. > :08:59.was going to impose a contract and that is why the doctors were taking

:09:00. > :09:02.militant action. If it turns out he couldn't do that, people will ask

:09:03. > :09:06.themselves why the government has held out, and also why the doctors

:09:07. > :09:12.are resisting if a contract cannot be imposed on them. This is

:09:13. > :09:15.government lawyers. What have they been doing for the past two or three

:09:16. > :09:22.months while this has been ratcheting up and up? I do think it

:09:23. > :09:26.seems crazy that he has been saying to the government, or to Parliament,

:09:27. > :09:31.to the country, I am going to impose this, we now it turns out he legally

:09:32. > :09:36.can't. If this is true, do you blame the government lawyers or Jeremy

:09:37. > :09:40.Hunt or both for what looks like a bit of a mess? It does look like a

:09:41. > :09:44.mess, it seems extraordinary to government lawyers didn't say, hang

:09:45. > :09:52.on, I think you should look at this wording will carefully. What have

:09:53. > :09:55.they been doing? It seems strange. This is not a pro-government paper,

:09:56. > :10:01.it will be interesting to look at it tomorrow. 50% of the story is the

:10:02. > :10:04.Guardian's interpretation of the letter and the language being used.

:10:05. > :10:08.It may well be that the Department of Health has an answer to this, and

:10:09. > :10:16.the wording of the letter is correct. Let's move on to the drone

:10:17. > :10:27.story, covered heavily by a couple of papers. Thankfully the plane was

:10:28. > :10:33.able to land safely and could take off later on. Ricky Gervais saying

:10:34. > :10:43.that was all fine. -- British airways. This sounds quite scary,

:10:44. > :10:52.and if they can do this sort of damage, imagine if it got into the

:10:53. > :10:57.hands of extremists. It is dangerous enough when you hear birds have got

:10:58. > :11:00.caught up. The ID you can send up a drone that goes that high and can

:11:01. > :11:05.inflict death on the whole planeload of people, not acceptable. It

:11:06. > :11:11.shouldn't be something you can fly in and around an airport, obviously

:11:12. > :11:14.that should be banned. Not only in and around an airport, what about

:11:15. > :11:21.all the private planes? I think there should be banned, it is a bad

:11:22. > :11:26.idea. And costing as little as ?25. In America you have two register

:11:27. > :11:30.where they are. There have been more and more of these incidents, and

:11:31. > :11:34.they are looking at legislation on what to do. I would have thought the

:11:35. > :11:40.airline companies would get on to the government and say you have to

:11:41. > :11:44.do something fast. For a start, I think you should have to register.

:11:45. > :11:49.That would put a lot of people off and might alert a lot of parents and

:11:50. > :11:53.grandparents, because I did via Little wants my grandson, to say

:11:54. > :12:00.that this is a dangerous toy and you shouldn't be playing with it. There

:12:01. > :12:06.is testing on what happens to an engine is a drone grows into one.

:12:07. > :12:10.What if it gets into the cockpit, smashes the glass or gets in the way

:12:11. > :12:16.of a pilot looking out. You know I am terrified of flying... It is

:12:17. > :12:21.difficult conversation for me to have, it is like discussing

:12:22. > :12:42.tarantulas. This is one more reason for me not to fly. In the Daily

:12:43. > :12:48.Telegraph has Boaty McBoatface. This vessel cost about ?2 million or

:12:49. > :12:55.something, and they voted to name the boat. It is unlikely it is going

:12:56. > :13:00.to be called that, because it seems the minister is unlikely to endorse

:13:01. > :13:07.the result of the poll. What happens when you open the things to public,

:13:08. > :13:11.we had a similar one when we had the national census and people

:13:12. > :13:15.describing themselves as Jedi. It then had to be taken seriously, and

:13:16. > :13:25.from that has grown a Church of Jedi. It has become a

:13:26. > :13:30.self-fulfilling prophecy. Why are we spending 2 million on a boat, and

:13:31. > :13:33.what is it going to do for us? If it is for environment and science they

:13:34. > :13:38.should have asked children, who are going to study such subject, and

:13:39. > :13:47.maybe they might have gone with Horatio Nelson was something. 200

:13:48. > :13:49.million! Now, it is time for The Film Review.
