there's an almost identical front page from the Express.

Lots to discuss. Let's start with your paper, the Times, an

eye-grabbing headline, dementia rate falls as men behave themselves.

Whoever heard of men behaving themselves! And men behaving

themselves because they're apparently behaving more like women.

You're getting this effect where women as they become more

independent, more economically independent are catching up with

men, but in some bad behaviours. Women started smoking later than

men. You're seeing a good fall off in men smoking. Women's falloff will

come later. Men were traditionally fatter, for example. So therefore

the impact of exercise is having a positive impact. This is a story

about how dementia is on the rise. There is no sense that dementia is

falling. We have an ageing population. It comes with age. We

know little about what causes dementia. What is increasingly

evident is that general good health seems to be a way to stave it off.

That seems really obvious, but it's incredibly important. If we can get

the message through to people, getting a bit of exercise, walking

30 minutes a day, makes a difference. It will have an impact.

That interested me, it is suggesting that it's possible to take

preventative action. Did we even know that? You say it seems obvious,

in a way it does, because we're always told to eat better and

exercise more. Having seen family members go through dementia, you

feel powerless during that process. Because there's a hereditary aspect

as well, I feel this, lots of people in families across the country feel

this, that it's something that might be coming towards you and is there

anything you can do? If exercise helps and if eating better helps and

if stopping smoking helps, that's fantastic news. You can take action.

At the age of 70 or 80 start taking action then, we don't have a single

drug to reverse dementia. We're heading towards one that might slow

it down and an NHS that is totally tripled. We need to take this

action. It's important to say that dementia cases are on the rise

because we're getting older. They're just not on the rise as much as we

thought. We will now turn to your paper the FT. You're leading with

the headline, Saudi Arabia boar rows $10 billion as oil slump drains

reserves. This is significant because this is the world's richest

country in serious trouble. Yeah essentially anybody who's wondering

whether the price of petrol or the price of goods in their supermarkets

will go up or down over the next few months, pay attention to stories

like this. Saudi Arabia is the one country beyond any other that can

actively do something to change the oil price. What's happened so far is

the reason that oil has fallen off a cliff and the reason that petrol

prices have come down and the price of goods in supermarkets and various

things have got cheaper, the reason that's happened is because demand's

come down from places like China, because their economies have slowed

down. Saudi Arabia has carried on pumping out the oil, watching it get

cheaper and cheaper as supplies flood the market. The reason it's

done that is to try and kill off some of the other producers,

particularly the US, which has had an eenterprisous shale oil and gas

boom. It hopes, right, drive the price down, let the shale companies

go out of business, then we'll turn off the taps, watch the price spike

up again and we'll benefit. Even to its own detriment at this stage.

Even though they've been hurt. Now they have to go to the bond markets

and raise money. They're essentially borrowing for the first time since

1991. There's a staggering figure that Saudi Arabia has got through

$120 billion in reserves since 2014. They have literally turned the tap

on. We are all - their will is able to entirely shape our economy. The

power is in their hands at the moment. That's been scrrd near

seeing it. They have crippled American fracking for example. By

turning the tap on like this, they've crippled economies. What's

interesting is the extent to which they're damaging themselves with a

view to wiping out their enemies in the world of oil, such that they

think that going forward they will be totally dominant. That's quite

possible. There's nothing to indicate that they won't win at this

game. Absolutely. If they can hold on longer than other producers can

they could well win. They've also got Iran coming bark on stream.

Sanction -- back on stream. Sanctions have now been lifted.

Iranian producers are back in the mark. That provides a challenge,

which is why they haven't turned off the tap yet. They're trying to ep

coot Iranians in their place. It's amazing how these geopolitical

concerns play out down to the price of a pint of milk. Let's move to the

EU referendum. How could we not! Today has been dominated by Michael

Gove's speech. The FT has chosen to go with the headline that he's

holding up the Albanian model for post Brexit future. Explain why that

model? Gove's speech is being characterised as the definitive

Brexit speech. He's the biggest voice in the Out campaign and this

was his moment, saying these are my reasons. He is saying the whole

notion that we would be frozen out in terms of trade and we would have

enormous tariffs to deal with outside the EU is poppy clock,

because we, like Bosnia, Serbia, Ukraine and Albania would all have a

trade dole whereby we could do positive trade with the EU. He's

arguing on a macroscale is that you can't judge the climate post Brexit

against the climate now. He's saying it would be a wholesale change to

the way that countries define themselves. When we Brexit, in his

world, other Cannes trips would follow suit. Others would feel

sympathetic to Britain's demands and our woes in the EU. Thicks would

change. -- things would change. It was interesting the speech, because

it was confirmation that if Britain votes to leave the EU, it will leave

the single market. That was probably the most interesting thing Michael

Gove said today. We've heard from the Brexit campaigners, we can leave

the EU and stay in the single market. Today we heard for the first

time, no, we need another deal. They've accepted to stay in the

single market you still need free movement, most importantly but

things like you need to pay your dues and you probably feed to be

under the European Court of Justice, which Michael Gove particularly

doesn't like. This is a real change of policy. The problem is, if you're

saying right, we're not going to do that, it's difficult to say what you

are going to do. We've heard of the Norwegian and Swiss model, Canadian

model, each of which has a draw back. I don't think the Albanian

model will be a vote winner, one of the poorest countries in the EU. But

you never know. Interesting story in the Mail. EU boss, "We do meddle too

much." This is Jean-Claude Juncker. Where has he said this? He said to

the Council of Europe today to a section of MPs from different

countries. It's interesting the language that he's used. You're

seeing not just in Britain, in places like Holland, where this

wholesale rejection of the EU Treaty with Ukraine, a lot of anti-EU

sentiment at the moment, this is Juncker acknowledging that. He's

saying, we have in the past meddled too much. We've allowed the ECJ to

override national legislation. He's basically admitted we shouldn't

necessarily do that. There's references to the more quirky side

of EU rules like I think there was an attempt to control the height of

heels on hairdressers and things like this. It makes everyone laugh

but those things stick in people's crew. He is basically acknowledging

we have gone too far. He doesn't climb down from the EU ideal as he

calls it. He says, we must stick together. We're losing economic

clout. I'm not sure that's going to really play to his game. A lot of

Brexiteers will say great. I want to move on to squeeze in a couple more

stories. Let's move to the Guardian. GMC doctors strike will put patients

at risk. This is in advance of the doctors strike planned for next

week. Yeah next Tuesday and Wednesday between 8am and 5pm we are

supposed to have, we don't know how many, but there are 45,000 junior

doctors around the country who might go on strike, including in emergency

wards. The GMC has made an intervention today warning doctors

that look, if all the hospitals in you're area look like they're not

going to be staffed properly, think about coming in. That sounds like an

obvious thing to say, in such a heated climate that feels like quite

a political intervention on the side of the Government. I don't know if

the British Medical Association will see it like that. Very quickly,

we're so short of time, I think we've got to make mention of this

picture on the front of the Daily Express, it's on the front of all

the papers, picture of four generations of the Royal Family to

mark the Queen's 90th birthday. You're a former Royal Correspondent.

Everyone's going to love this picture. It is gorgeous. Only the

second time we've seen all four heirs to the throne. He's standing

on the foam blocks to reach the height of daddy next to him. It's a

very cute picture. The Royals are in a very happy period at the moment.

They're incredibly popular. The Queen is incredibly popular. Others

possibly less so. They've cut out Charles and William entirely on the

Daily Mail. Unfortunately, that is it for the papers tonight. But

before you go, here's a few more of tomorrow morning's front pages that

have come through this evening: That new image of the four generations of

the house of Windsor on the Telegraph. The paper is launching a

campaign alongside security specialists to help tighten

Britain's borders against terrorism. More Prince George on the front of

the Sun, as well a story on children as young as four being encouraged to

choose the gender they most identify with.

And the New Day leads on the investigation into the murder of

Ricky Neeve in 1994 following the arrest of a man in Peterborough

earlier. All the front pages are online, on the BBC News website,

where you can read a detailed review of the papers. It's all there for

you, seven days a week, at bbc.co.uk/papers. You can see us

there too, with each night's edition of the papers being posted on the

page shortly after we've finished. Thank you again to my guests. Great

that you were here. Thanks so much. From all of us, goodbye.

Hello there. A couple more days of warm, spring sunshine before the

weather changes. Let's set the scene,
