11:31 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are benedicte paviot, uk correspondent, for france 2a and michael booker, deputy editor of the daily express. tomorrow's front pages starting with. .. let's start with the times which says "holiday season is back on" as more than 15 countries could be opened up for travel. the i weekend follows suit, and says a traffic light system will be put in place forforeign travel. a ‘green light for hols‘ also leads in the mirror. and the telegraph suggests countries will be placed in categories according to risk. the guardian, meanwhile, says the education secetary is planning a radical overhaul of the university admission system in england so that students apply after getting their grades. the express runs a warning from the prime minister that young
11:32 pm
people who think they're invincible are risking the lives of others by flouting social distancing rules. the independent says the tory party received 11 million pounds in donations from property tycoons in the last 12 month — that's in relation to the robertjenrick planning fow. and the new york times says that the world is learning to live with the pandemic, as countries slowely reopen from lockdown. let's begin with talk of holidays. i am sure you are both desperate to go on your holidays. the times of leading with the headline, holiday season leading with the headline, holiday season back on. talking about britain getting the go—ahead to go on summer britain getting the go—ahead to go on summer holidays quite soon. we've just had a copy in from the press association which says and confirms that report. summer holidays been given the green light after they say
11:33 pm
the requirement to... it's good news. there's no doubt what we have all been living through is unprecedented. and it's been very tough. for most people because most people have indeed respected the lockdown. it has been tough in all kinds of ways not seen the people you love the most, not physically going to work, having to be very careful at the beginning, do we remember the toilet roles and the lack of milk and all kinds of panic buying? let alone people who have lost loved ones. i've lost two people in my life, not directly because of covid i9, people in my life, not directly because of covid 19, but indirectly, but there will be people who have lost more than one member of their
11:34 pm
family orfriends. lost more than one member of their family or friends. it's great to have having to go to their funerals, we re have having to go to their funerals, were not able to go to their bedside at hospital to say their goodbyes. it's been very tough. i think a little bit of sun elsewhere than in the uk is very welcome. i say get out your language books, such a practice herfriends, your perhaps not portuguese because portugal might not get that traffic light system to a might get the moment but yes get ready, get a swimsuit out, start exercising exec we are finally going to be able to have a bit of rest bite and it's could be very important for everybody physically and mentally. very sorry to hear about your losses. the daily mail says fly out for sun, c and 70% off. so hundred 86 deaths to coronavirus and is this too soon? i don't think
11:35 pm
it's too soon. as we said earlier on i think it's too soon. as we said earlier on ithinka it's too soon. as we said earlier on i think a lot of people will still be quite fearful, fearful to leave the front door at the moment and there's still plenty of people shielding. there is quite a lot of people desperate to get out and some have been back to work now. and why not? it's been a horrific time as she said for many families. the other thing is good for the economy as well and the travel industry. they waiting for this moment for a while. it will be hoping there is a huge amount of bookings covid from people just desperate to get away. there's talk of 70% off. and brits love a bargain. plenty of them to be had. holidays will look a little bit different than how they normally are because a lot of us go on, we are all inclusive with all the buffets,
11:36 pm
but i don't think that's going to be the same with the social distancing going on. the holidays themselves will be different but it will still bea will be different but it will still be a lot of people very reticent will not be taking this opportunity. that went to get on a plane and have seen the pictures of what it looks like with everyone with masks on planes and it does not look great for a lot of people. there will be a lot of people wanted to take the risk, get out there and hopefully enjoy it. what i've seen from the front pages you got to leave your address and telephone number, if there's an outbreak in these places in the quarantine could come back. some people could have a bit of a gamble but it's a gamble a lot of people are prepared to take. you work for france 2a, what you think the countries in the closet will be thinking about this? what will france, portugal, spain, there's different rules but what were the european response to this be? to the
11:37 pm
british easing and travelling? well it will be welcome. this is something that france had hoped would happen. 0f something that france had hoped would happen. of course the difference is that for similar populations france or something like 30,000 deaths whereas the united kingdom alas for a similar population has much higher level, 43 and a half thousand. so if any country needs to be worried or should be france about letting brits in buti should be france about letting brits in but i think that something as long as people behave in a responsible manner, and france, spain, greece what they don't need is that tiny minority that we have seen on is that tiny minority that we have seen on television and heard about on the radio and seen those photos, and then behaving in that way on whether it's french, spanish commit greek features. a word of warning if they think they can get away with it in the united kingdom i would say that it will be treated a very different manner. when you're in a
11:38 pm
foreign country need to be that much more careful. as someone that is half french and have produced it something i am very well aware of. and of course don't endanger other people. interestingly what michael was saying about planes, the recycled air in a plane is something that i would definitely wear a mask for and would go for a shorter flight, for and would go for a shorter flight, not a long flight.|j for and would go for a shorter flight, not a long flight. i read somewhere that the aeroplane air is actually very, very clean. i don't know if that is true. cleaner than hospital air i read somewhere. i'm sure i will be corrected if i'm wrong. 0ne sure i will be corrected if i'm wrong. one more thing will be quickly scanned the holidays something else that pulled out from the times i thought was interesting was itself a reciprocal agreement will be procured with australia and new zealand. though this is unlikely for several weeks. as we touched on their about something completely
11:39 pm
different now not just their about something completely different now notjust a quick hop over to europe. talking about multiple flights to get to australia and new zealand. there isn't even really a normal direct flight anywhere would take. so you have to stop and you have to take multiple planes and change at airports. is this likely to be taken up, and why do you think this is being done? i think there will be a take—up. there's ex—pats on both sides of the world that want to get back here and vice versa. some will have been stuck here and may be out of work and just want to get back home. the interesting thing with new zealand is they seems to have cracked the whole thing a couple of weeks ago and then they had problems with infections with people coming in who travelled from britain. there may be a slight reticence from their side of things but they do seem to be getting on top of that again i was reading earlier today about how people are being driven off to hotels and quarantined over there in
11:40 pm
new zealand at the moment. i think you're still a bit of work to be done and that's why it says in the time it will be a few weeks yet. in a few weeks we will see maybe how this has worked and if there's been any problems, if has been any flare—ups either in various countries and indeed back here where we are currently saying will receive pictures of people at protestant on beaches that there could be a spike in the days after that. we have not seen in the days after that. we have not seen that yet. but we will have to wait and see. during this thing anything can change in a couple of days. very quickly on that. it's worth reminding people orjust remembering ourselves that many parts of the world including an area that normally come cover, south asia, the pea ks that normally come cover, south asia, the peaks have not been reached. cases are rising and so while some parts of the world like the west have been easing other places don't plenty of british indians and pakistanis are not able
11:41 pm
to see their families in countries like that. and that's for anybody in the united kingdom needs to look at very carefully, the foreign office advisory, and i could change as michael was saying quite quickly depending on if a hotspot is found oi’ depending on if a hotspot is found or ifan depending on if a hotspot is found or if an outbreak happens. 0f depending on if a hotspot is found or if an outbreak happens. of course it's important to say that what's going to happen within days is this announcement we think next wednesday of this traffic light system so countries around the planet will be divided into red, amber and green. it could be that asia, for example, remains ina it could be that asia, for example, remains in a red zone and in other words is dangerous and not approved and not recommended. but what will happen is that all nonessential travel will actually become possible again. will notjust to have to be essential travel but we have to remember that will be a living here is not necessarily what other people are living through. interesting to note at one of the papers as well that depending on the announcements
11:42 pm
made and the air bridge is there are great with france and spain, greece and other countries of the insurance cover will for some of those countries become possible again. because if it's not it will be prohibitive for anybody let alone if you are an older person to travel to these countries. a lot of things to bearin these countries. a lot of things to bear in mind besides bring about knowing the local language, or one's swimsuit. that takes us onto a com pletely swimsuit. that takes us onto a completely different subject, the front page of the guardian. says he has an exclusive here, radical plan to overhaul university admissions. the education secretary is planning an overhaul of england's university mission system. plans to move the start of the academic year to january and have students apply after their a—level results. what do you think about that, michael? after their a—level results. what do you think about that, michael7m brings back the chills for me. my predicted grades were better than the ones i got. it's clearing and
11:43 pm
desperate to get university in a few weeks. that would be afforded by this. this is gavin williamson, the education secretary saying he made the plans and you will apply with the plans and you will apply with the grades of god rather than the predictions that a lot of people applied for university in the past and then get conditional or unconditional offers from university. what they're saying is the reason is it's all part of the leveling up a gender that this government is trying to get going. socially leveling up and what they're saying is that a lot of grades predicted for people in underprivileged areas and also black and mixed ethnicity young kids, sometimes they're very talented kids, but they are being undervalued in terms of the grades that are being predicted. and so they are disadvantaged. this they believe will write that wrong and so when it
11:44 pm
come out with good grades they want to have to had that mad rushjust really trying to get university and it will be a level playing field. it seems to be well received on the front of the guardian which surprised me a little bit. not too much commentary on it so i think the are prepared to see whether this will work. sounds like a good idea but we will see how it is in practice. the guardian talks about research from the sutton trust that says talented disadvantaged students received lower predicted grades as michael mentioned there. and also people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds. do you think this can make a difference?” ethnic backgrounds. do you think this can make a difference? i think will make a big difference for a lot of people. it's described in the guardian asa of people. it's described in the guardian as a bureaucratic tangle. and i have to say it's quite strange to many people. it seems quite logical to apply for university place with the actual exam results
11:45 pm
that you have obtained, not those that you have obtained, not those that your teachers predicted. because a lot can happen in a few months, for example it was very helpful to give me a sense of how well i was doing or not in a topic. and how much work i needed to do. sometimes it be somebody that does not do well at a market, but does very well at the a—level or other exams. if they can help level up welcome of results and therefore the courses they can go on then i think that this is an interesting clarification. but of course a p pa re ntly clarification. but of course apparently it's also going to go along with more money according to alex sharma the business secretary. he is preparing to announce extra financial support for universities. universities that are very badly hit because of course there is a lack of clarity on whether it will be able to have, apart from virtual courses,
11:46 pm
in person courses. and of course the money that british universities rely on fundamentally is that of foreign students. foreign students who do not just pay students. foreign students who do notjust pay £9,000 but sometimes sums like £26,000. and talking of asia there is a very big contingency that comes from asia whether it's 0xford or cambridge or imperial couege 0xford or cambridge or imperial college and other universities, and that money will be sorely lacking if as we believe a lot of those asian stu d e nts as we believe a lot of those asian students don't come to british universities. let's move onto the daily telegraph. the headline i looking at is asylum—seekers shot dead after six stabbed in glasgow. distressing news of course. from scotla nd distressing news of course. from scotland earlier today. they‘ re reporting a little bit more detail, i must stress we don't know the motive for the attack but it says here that the knife man was from
11:47 pm
sudan and threatened violence against other refugees claim he was hungry in recent days after being re—housed in the hotel. what we are hearing throughout the day at the number of asylum—seekers were moved from their accommodation to this hotel given that it was empty for coronavirus, but actually some activists are saying that the conditions that they were in were not really up to scratch. i think there will be questions to be a nswered there will be questions to be answered and some inquests into what actually happened. with this so given that there is an estimate of about a hundred asylum—seekers according to this particular hotel. this individual we are told is sudanese. he taught, according to one source , sudanese. he taught, according to one source, of having mental health problem saying he was hungry. he had not liked being moved from where
11:48 pm
they were living, a number of these men had been my mainly men, had been moved from accommodations where they had been living in the community into these empty hotels during the pandemic. clearly it's something when you are taken out of your environment having been asylum—seekers then put into something as alien as a hotel during the strange time with another group of strangers that cannot be easy for them. this horrific incident has subsequently happened. six people have been injured, we've got a policeman critical but stable. he ran to this incident and tried to disarm the guy. again, it's a lot of pressure on the police having seen what happened in redding a few days previously. according to the telegraph they are saying it could be linked in terms of the motivation to redding, they see what happened but it's not a terror related thing
11:49 pm
stop by at the moment we don't know the motive as you say. i willjust say i will go to the scottish to e—mail because you talked about the injuries and there is a very arresting cover with the headline bloodbath, and you can see a lot of police activity. the centre of glasgow much of it was locked down yesterday or today i should say, i'm losing track of my days. earlier today as a result of what happened. there was a protest, wasn't there? 0r there was a protest, wasn't there? or some kind of demonstration around the conditions that asylum—seekers we re the conditions that asylum—seekers were being made to live in. only la st were being made to live in. only last week. is that right?|j were being made to live in. only last week. is that right? i was reporting on this terrible deadly incident attack, even, three dead let's remember. six injured, one of them ina let's remember. six injured, one of them in a critical condition. but sta ble them in a critical condition. but stable condition. this is this police officer. and yes it's serious
11:50 pm
but as you say we don't know the motive. and i think the point is is that the police are investigating whether she is copycat or indeed to link to the redding attack. but i think is important also to note is the fact that actually the police in scotla nd the fact that actually the police in scotland it is thought shot and killed anybody in 50 years. it's shock to glasgow, it's shocked united kingdom, and yes in the process of reporting i have found that there was a demonstration, you are quite right, about a week ago where a charity organisation was saying that the conditions for asylum—seekers were not suitable for him were not going to. it will be many question marks and other people with other reactions as to whether the asylum—seekers are monitored enough. i think it is one dead, not three dead. to end this paper review
11:51 pm
with something a little later perhaps it's very small paragraph of the front of the daily telegraph but it caught my eye. it says one in four of us want to life changes after lockdown. it's a report for the office for national statistics. 4296 the office for national statistics. 42% when a newjob, 35% want a new relationship or a change in the relationship, should i say and 35% wa nt to relationship, should i say and 35% want to change where they live. very quickly, which of those would you fa ncy quickly, which of those would you fancy more to life, relationship or, not left him relationship or where you live? i think you need... i'm not planning on change my relationship or changing where i live. i love what i do. i love what ido,i live. i love what i do. i love what i do, i think it's an interesting interview contract. i want to be a bbc news presenter. we will swap seats next week. thanks to both of you, it was a pleasure to talk to
11:52 pm
you, it was a pleasure to talk to you this evening. that's it for the papers, my thanks to benedicte and michael. goodbye for now. hello. i'm here with a round of religious sports news. liverpool captain jordan henderson is religious sports news. liverpool captainjordan henderson is told the bbc there still more to come from his side after winning their first league title in 30 years. the reds sent 23 points of the top of the premier league table with just seven games remaining. that's what this journey to continue for a long time because at them and it's pretty special. all the past few years we've achieved unbelievable things in they're still more to come for the seam. more trophies in the future and just have to stick with the same mentality and desire which i have no question we will. still
11:53 pm
plenty of for fans making the trip today. the team can still break the premier league record for points in a season. the managerjurgen klopp has been speaking of his relief.|j start understanding what happened, i was absolutely overwhelmed last night did not understand anything to help with my emotions. ijust realised it's obviously really big, i knew that before but last night i don't think you can be prepared for a situation like this. i was not, or maybe you can but i was not. it hit me fully. in my face. we are in similar situations you know that it's nice but intense as well. so i was happy after the game but happy as well when i went to bed and could
11:54 pm
sleep, and finally it's what's going through my mind in moments like this. do you feel a sense of relief as well as joy? 0h this. do you feel a sense of relief as well as joy? oh yes. yes. i don't know if it was always like this, i don't feel the pressure too much before it happens, but when it happens the amount of relief shows me how big the pressure was before. soi me how big the pressure was before. so i mostly relieved. that was liveable managerjurgen klopp speaking to dan rowen. when given a championship this evening, moved within five points of leaders west bromwich albion. ellie walken scored in the first half to help his side moved to third place. next a second gimmick equal on points but now with a game in hand. tennis, and cameron norrie is a semi finals of the battle of the brits. no repeat paul
