hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at monday morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines: ministers consider reimposing some coronavirus restrictions in leicester because of a surge of cases there. with local flare—ups, it is right that we have a localised solution in terms of infection control, social distancing, testing. borisjohnson sets out his plans to build his way to economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. the cabinet secretary,

sir mark sedwill, is to step down as the government's most senior civil servant. more details will be revealed on the easing of non—essential travel restrictions for many popular european holiday destinations. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the writer and broadcaster dawn foster and andy silvester, deputy editor at city am tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the front page of the metro features a warning from a scientific adviser to the government that the uk could face a severe second wave of coronavirus as lockdown measures ease in england. the times leads with the prime minister's announcement of extra funding for schools in what he calls his aim

for every pupil to "succeed". the ft reports on the stepping down of the government's most senior civil servant, cabinet secretary sir mark sedwill. the telegraph says that the prime minister is looking for a brexit supporter to replace sir mark as part of his plans to reform whitehall. the guardian also reports on that story with a large picture of sir mark with borisjohnson on the day he became prime minister. and the daily mail leads on delays to routine nhs surgery in the wake of coronavirus, saying some people may have to wait a year for hip operations. so let's begin. dawn, let's start with the guardian, a paper you often write for, and that very striking picture of sir mark with boris johnson, that very striking picture of sir mark with borisjohnson, but that very striking picture of sir mark with boris johnson, but the figure painted in the background of

dominic cummings, the chief adviser, the man who wants some creative destruction in government. has he won, do you think? i think there are multiple ways of seeing it and i think every has their way in the next few days. he has dealt under a lot of pressure, been through a lot with coronavirus and it may well be that he has felt pressure by boris johnson and dominic cummings, and having been through coronavirus, he actually wants a break or a different role. dominic cummings will be desperately trying to spin this is the fact that he has one, and we know michael gove has requested him in a big speech last night about how the conservatives wa nted night about how the conservatives wanted to remake civil service, trying to spin this as the tories rebuilding their image. to do that, michael gove and dominic cummings are very close, they will need to move and try and give the impression to the public that they are

rebuilding how government works. andy, it is also the story unsurprising for many of the papers, the telegraph running with the line that says the government wants a big city to run the civil service —— brexiteer. someone who is more willing to think the unthinkable. in a sense, though, others saying actually what you really need in thatjob is somebody who has the strength and authority to stand and say, no, prime minister, as much as yes, prime minister. yes, absolutely. it is enjoyably retro here, it feels like we have moved back to a period before the pandemic, and brexit. but i don't think this is going to be the start ofa think this is going to be the start of a revolution in a sense in the civil service. but what it does seem to suggest is that the government is

still very keen on putting its people in the places that it wants. there is going to be an all—male to you now i have no doubt if the next cabinet secretary is picked because he or she is sympathetic to brexit more so he or she is sympathetic to brexit more so than others, and there is also going to be a row over the fact that david frost will be up here, he isa that david frost will be up here, he is a political appointment for a role that many would argue should be an advisor, somebody who has done theirtime in the an advisor, somebody who has done their time in the defence kind of world. there will be an almighty row over the coming days, weeks and months. whether that translates to the conversations in the dog and duck when the dog and duck is open is slightly different. it may be more likely the government will more likely be judged on how quickly the economy recovers and whether that is a long—term project, people of dominic cummings, but i don't think

it will be the sort of thing that cuts through to the public, i fear. dominic cummings and michael gove started out in education long before brexit was even kind of a prospect, it was adviser to michael gove as education secretary and both complained about the blob as they call the education establishment. is there a perception among boris johnson and his senior colleagues at the civil service is a blob in terms of stopping collective group think and stopping radicalism in politics? there is, absolutely there is. they are inflexible, slightly out of touch from modern communications, modern ways of working, they view it as unable to innovate in a way that companies in the private sector, people talk to me inside number 10 about how difficult it is to pay bills in certain departments when you can click a button on emma's and

get things delivered in 20 minutes. they feel they can bring some innovation into the civil service. “ on innovation into the civil service. —— on amazon. other challenges they will try and take on that task, and others have tried in the task and made progress of relative amounts, is that it isjust made progress of relative amounts, is that it is just a made progress of relative amounts, is that it isjust a system that needs to be running, you cannot press stop and rebuild it from the start. it has to be a process where things are still working, taxes being collected, hospitals are properly staffed. all these things we rely on. that is where the challenge comes for really genuine ambitious programmes. if cummings and michael gove think they will ta ke and michael gove think they will take it on, they are going to have to really go for it. let's move on to really go for it. let's move on to the times. the pm pledges a decade as spending, putting the finger at decade as spending, putting the fingerati.5 decade as spending, putting the finger at 1.5 billion for schools to bounce back from covid —— app times.

dobroyd —— the broader point, there is an additional challenge because of the kind of economic hit and the educational hit on children whose prospects could be and have been significantly set back by this what you might call a year of living dangerously. the prime minister is desperate to get the children back to school by september. the devil is in the detail. it will be interesting precisely how boris johnson plans to let the secretary rolled out this money when the schools will be getting it quickly 01’ schools will be getting it quickly or whether the government will be nimble and how they deliver the cash incentives. the schools getting what they need to be what they need, setting out exactly what will help their schools and their pupils, or

it would be a headline amount of money given to the private sector, rolled out that way, which is much more likely to struggle to get to the people who need it, the schools have less autonomy. we really need to see both detail of how it will be spent, the times it will be spent, and whether or not teachers and unions are happy with the detail borisjohnson unions are happy with the detail boris johnson hopefully will have unions are happy with the detail borisjohnson hopefully will have in the next few days. the other aspect of the knock—on effect it picked up by the mail, and, andy, this is a story that could be quite a long lag in terms of the routine treatment, less urgent, nonurgent treatment that could affect things like hip and knee replacements of the nhs in england for much longer than they fear. they have been delayed and

delayed while the pandemic was going on to keep people out of hospital to minimise risk of infection, but the delays would last much longer. yeah, absolutely. i think anybody waiting ona absolutely. i think anybody waiting on a routine operation or even a check—up over the past few months is almost resigned themselves to the fa ct almost resigned themselves to the fact that will be the back end of the year and that will have a huge impact on the nhs going forward, which is, because of the way it works, basically operates at full capacity most of the time. this is one of the things that in government they have been thinking about in terms of lot lifting is how to ensure people do still get that treatment they need —— lockdown lifting. they are worried in government, particularly in the health department, is that people haven't been getting check—ups on lumps and bumps, and when you think about cancer, catching that early is really the most defining feature of survival rates. governments are very keen to get the nhs back to normal.

what the government will try and do is use the innovation we saw in the nhs during the covid crisis and bring the into how they do routine operations, routine surgeries, routine check—ups, routine screening, and whether they can use the things they have learnt now, to actually make the service a bit more efficient. there is a quote from professor philip turner who was president of the british orthopaedic association, talking about prioritising which cases really are of greatest need, but in a sense, if you are waiting for a hip or knee replacement, it is of greatest need because you have been worn out. yes, absolutely. for people waiting for those very, very structural problems, they will have been waiting for a long amount of time anyway. i am lucky to have my

appointments, near appointment pushback, but other people with knee and hip problems are not very mobile, so the fact they have been in the down has meant they have been stocked at home as they would be a nyway stocked at home as they would be anyway without the ability to get the operation done, and others, this will add onto the times, and we know precisely what the knock—on effect will be on those who have had coronavirus. there are people with diabetes and pancreas, according to most diabetes and pancreas, according to m ost rece nt diabetes and pancreas, according to most recent research, and we have other people who just want an appointment. it will take years before the nhs gets back to what it was, and before we feel safe enough to actually go back in person to the gp and hospital. andy, interesting story on the front of the i, a

complicated planning row, the former newspaper publisher now property developer richard desmond and has involved the planning, the housing council's secretary of state, community sector or state. now he has dragged in the prime minister, 01’ has dragged in the prime minister, or in has dragged in the prime minister, orina has dragged in the prime minister, or in a previous life as mayor of london. absolutely. this is a story, richard desmond met borisjohnson at lunch ten years ago which he discussed this project, it has been said he discussed this project to be slightly frank, this is a complicated story. they are probably like it is a commentator story lucky there are other things on the front pages of newspapers and he may not potentially be described as the housing minister, but it is slightly odd for me now that we have the situation where the mayor of london is not as merrily supposed to

discussed meaning —— main planning project in london, this might not set alarm bells ringing, whereas some of the other elevations —— revelations, they take a few paragraphs to explain, have done and i think priti patel today said as heras i think priti patel today said as her as she is concerned, matter was the past. i do think that is true, it is the thing that hangs around the necks of ministers shall we say. as you say, it is complicated. it is better with very, former printing works in east london. richard desmond wanted to turn it into housing, and as you say, it is worth looking online at all the detail because it is very complicated. we will lose what little time we have left if we try and explain that. but we can explain this story on the front of the times. as always, there isa front of the times. as always, there is a price to pay. people stuck at

home rather than managing to go to work have been buying things online, iadmiti work have been buying things online, i admit i bought some toilet paper online. so many people have been doing it now... retailers can claw back some money... a levy will host... inaudible. high street may not actually see the foot will come back and we may see more and more holes... trying to get back onto the high street to shop in person again. if few holes in your broadband i am afraid, we lost a few words. forgive me for that. i think we got the general drift of the story and your

explanation of the green levy,
