New scenarios from the @ecb. The worst one assumes oil rises to $145 (right now = $109) and gas doubles again (having already doubled since first attacks).

NOW - Ireland's Prime Minister (Taoiseach) on migrants: "I think sometimes Europe gets characterized wrongly in terms of it being overrun or whatever like that. It's much more robust now. There's a much stronger mechanism in place to facilitate legal migration."
