hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are claire cohen, women's editor, daily telegraph and martin bentham home affairs editor, evening standard. tomorrow's front pages. ..starting with. the guardian says boris johnson will seek to wrap himself in the mantle of one of the most revered american presidents in modern times — franklin d roosevelt as he attempts to refocus his premiership by promising a "new deal" for britain in response to the coronavirus crisis. expected to the coronavirus crisis. to make that speech tomorrow expected to make that speech tomorrow morning. expected to make that speech tomorrow morning. according to the daily express, borisjohnson will promise a £5billion kick start

to the economy — setting out plans to modernise hospitals, schools, roads, prisons, the courts, high streets and town centres. the daily telegraph reports leicester has become the first city in britain to be plunged back into lockdown, after public health officials expressed alarm at a significant rise in covid—19 cases. a story that's also reflected in the times, which add that several northern towns are also causing alarm to health officials in the uk. the daily mirror says schools and nonessential shops in the city will close and pubs won't open there for two more weeks. the metro carries the line that the city of leicester and the surrounding areas are responsible for ten per cent of all the country's positive cases. the scottish edition of the daily mail says first minister, nicola sturgeon has
11:33 pm
provoked a furious backlash over plans which could see people travelling from england to scotland quarantined for a fortnight. and according to the financial times, investment banking fees rocketed to a record $57 billon in the first six months of the year, boosted by a series of lucrative debt sales as companies grabbed cash to tide them over during the coronavirus crisis. right. let's go right. back to the papers now. welcome to you both. should we start again with the telegraph? that big story for england and indeed for lester being put down into lockdown asa lester being put down into lockdown as a surge has occurred there. which means that those nonessential shops have only really been open forjust over a week. and they're going to have to return to our day? yes
11:34 pm
neither lester or the government wa nt to neither lester or the government want to be seen on the front page of any newspaper. as you say really reopening has only just any newspaper. as you say really reopening has onlyjust started. we've got super saturday as it's being called coming up this weekend and yet the city finds itself lockdown again. and that sort of stay at home, save lives message applying purely to them at the moment. as the rest of the country start to ease. the government really didn't want to do this. they postpone making the announcement once already. but when you look at the statistics such as our reporter in our story tomorrow that 10% of all new cases of the virus are now coming out of my stuff. and i think the rate of infection is three times higher —— lester. that's impossible to ignore. but it's all been done extremely last—minute. the mayor is furious about that. he's spoken out said he only found out in the wee hours of the morning that it happening at all from public health
11:35 pm
england. just on that point, it was quite a late statement from matt hancock, was in a? yes, very late. into the evening and which is quite unusual. normally these statements are made in the middle of the day. certainly mid afternoon at the latest. so it was quite unusual, yes. and being so rambling as claire said within government some itching and abounding about what to say and how to do it. but it's happened. and the actions are going to start from tomorrow. with the shops having to close again, the schools on thursday and except key workers. and so the restrictions are going back on again. clearly, one of the questions is, a lot of these restrictions were in place when the infections that are now being seen were incurred. so that in and of itself is obviously going to solve the problem. and exactly how you get to solve the problem and to reduce the infection rates in lester is not clear. that will remain to be seen i suppose. it
11:36 pm
may be part of the issue they want to relax the any further to make it worse. maybe the message that people will get will encourage people to be ever more vigilant. we don't quite know exactly how it's by, widespread. there are all sorts of theories as to high density of households in lester. because an ageing population being one factor and various other theories. i don't ta ke and various other theories. i don't take it's been properly established why they've got such a high infection rate. which is obviously key to trying to control it and to get it back down to a reasonable level. interesting point it doesn't start tomorrow and that has not been characteristic at all. it's been announcements this will start on monday, this will start on saturday, this will start on wednesday, whatever. which suggests claire some real urgency here. i suppose, it's on the front page of the times as well. i suppose the problem is that
11:37 pm
for eight lot of people certainly in the big cities around england, lockdown really in peoples minds, especially london is psychologically has been over. that might well be the case for a lot of people in lester. yes, it's going to be a huge test for the governments coronavirus policy and how much everybody‘s absorbed the message to stay home can possibly be the best thing. it could be looking at the rest of the country and merging from restrictions a lot of people at mentally thinking there are no restrictions. yet they've locked down and i don't know how quite they're going to rely on the goodwill of the public. let's look at the main picture and the story below that. boris johnson giving at the main picture and the story below that. borisjohnson giving an interview two times radio which launched this morning. a big scoop for them. first time his given a one—on—one. i think sense he's been ill. but the new deal spending spree to boost britain's recovery, money a
11:38 pm
lot of money, 5 billion, a long list of things he wants to do with that. yes, and schools, hospitals, prisons and so on. lots of big infrastructure projects that he wants to inject money into and to get people employment and so on. all is fine and some of that is most definitely needed, i think. i don't think there's much discussion about whether that's right a wrong internet sound. i don't think there's much contented about that. the question in relation to both the fdr comparison and indeed the immediate situation is that capital infrastructure spending tends to ta ke infrastructure spending tends to take a bit of time as you how to lean i have results is good for long term improvement. but what it doesn't do necessarily is address the short—term needs of people.|j suppose my point was 5 billion, it is for hospitals, roads, rails, 25,000 schools in england. that's
11:39 pm
not going to go very far, is it? no. that's true as well. the bigger point is the fdr comparison wasn't just a big capital infrastructure projects that fdr did. he also did very short employment projects, conservation work and so on. it was founded to give people immediate work and to regenerate the economy there. i think that's the other side of things that we, has in part tomorrow speech. of course he could spend more on capital infrastructure whether we got the money to do that after all the monies been thrown at the economy already is another question. i think you can't ignore the immediate short—term needs that people are going to be facing. as we try to come out of lockdown and people lose theirjobs or have lost their jobs people lose theirjobs or have lost theirjobs and lost income. what do you make of it claire? welll theirjobs and lost income. what do you make of it claire? well i think it's a dangerous game to make comparisons on yourself for starters. because that's not going to go away. this 5 billion it's been
11:40 pm
kicking around for a while. this is only a number of newspapers god is not new money. and these are not really new pledges either. —— got. it's returning to which won the election at last year. it's actually no coincidence that tomorrow speech is being given in dublin which is where the tories talk. and returning to those themes that help them win that. however, the world has com pletely that. however, the world has completely change sense that election. and it was hard enough to bridge the gap to level up back then now we are in a situation where a lot of those places, a lot of them form industrial towns have suffered particularly ha rd form industrial towns have suffered particularly hard on the lockdown policy and the gap is even wider. so i think cloaking it as a new deal is perhaps not entirely fair. he's had a pretty rough time has any? in the governments had a rough time if you look at the polls over the last few weeks as well for the keir starmer
11:41 pm
head in one of the recent polls. the guardian, schools, that's been another problem for the government. that sort of botched announcement of when schools would be returning. it didn't actually happen. now everyone's got to go back by september. parents will be fine. a bit more detail, year group bubbles for pupils in england. nice picture on the front of the guardian here. i think it was in the times as well pointing out a whole year groups will be sent home to isolate if one child is found to be carrying coronavirus. it's still pretty uncertain, isn't it? well, it sounds fairly extraordinary if you consider the size of some year groups of 200 plus people in them. in the whole year group could be sent home. it's actually one of your viewers helped point out in between the first
11:42 pm
programme and the second and this one of course, programme and the second and this one of course, many programme and the second and this one of course, many of those people might have siblings who might also be at the school for example. what's can happen there? are they going to be there doing that theoretically told to sulfides like? it seems to me,| told to sulfides like? it seems to me, i could see the logic in a sense trying to compartmentalize any infection and any spread of infection and any spread of infection within the year group. how you logistically manage and whether the realistically a school environment. talk about staggering different year groups coming starting and finishing breaks and so oi'i. starting and finishing breaks and so on. even then a feeling that the physical environment is good to be impossible to manage that. yes, the idea that as soon as you get one child infected in an area where there is any level of infection and all that seems very problematic. euros certainly have two weeks off and then potentially another year off. i can't really see how that can... what you say about this
11:43 pm
claire? women are outraged that schools haven't reopened and there isn't a clear plan in place about theirs. there are so many women who are at home having to handle home—schooling as well as trying to do theirfull—timejobs. home—schooling as well as trying to do their full—time jobs. and there have been various studies done even in the last for months during lockdown to show that women are doing that and still taking the majority of the chores and still shouldering the domestic burden. they are angry. they feel like they are being sidelined. their careers are being sidelined. their careers are being sidelined. and thejob prospects in the future could well be damage. especially if this continues perhaps there are localised outbreaks and start shutting down again. it could be the women within family, men's still largely tending to be regular. to stay home and potentially give up their careers to take care of the children home. it could become a huge problem. will be speaking more problems they are. telegraph, britain's air bridges hit by greek
11:44 pm
flights band. anyone thinking of jumping ona flights band. anyone thinking of jumping on a flight to one of the islands is going to have to wait a bit longer. again, this is not what the british government hoped or thought or it made quite a lot of us to believe, i think. we thought that greece was going to be included with the other european countries? we did. and we were hoping that they kinda kibosh that by extending by two we e ks kinda kibosh that by extending by two weeks the period with which quarantine will apply and restrictions will apply to our incoming arrivals from this country into greece. it's a blue and i think do not blow anything for anybody who thought the air bridge and sorter brushed off and booked a holiday is a catastrophic blow. it might not just be greece it may be ireland. it might be scotland as well that will have a reciprocal quarantine period.
11:45 pm
it could be. and there are many other countries mentioned in the story as well through the traffic light system. surprise is it that a lot of countries, the infection rate, the death rate perhaps we shouldn't let them. ft, investment banking fees rocketing to a record $57 billion in the first six months of the year. i suppose they will be able to choose whatever they want to go some of these wall street bankers, won't they? by private jet. exactly. whether we are or not is another issue. on the other hand i suppose what is true is that at least the companies have gone to them have got refinancing and managed to stay afloat and continue to create employment was up from that point of view beneath the impact that that will have on most people thinking everybody else is making sacrifices and yet money
11:46 pm
flowing in vast quantities to certain group of people that never sounds good. impractical it probably is quite a good thing that at least these companies that are being refinanced and paying fees are at least alive and kicking. i suppose the other question is that banks are actually critical. we need banks to be operating fully and to be functioning to keep the economies float in general. it doesn't sound great, i thought a fine myself resistant to the message it communicates. but i suppose in real life terms it probably isn't quite as bad as it looks. no. the metro, one of the big industries, the arts, culture claire, has been absolutely hammered by the covid—i9. dame helen mirren, our theatres need help. the identity of our nation is at stake. this is just the front page tease. we don't know what she is advocating or suggesting in that. but theatres,
11:47 pm
it could put so many out of business, couldn't? having to the audience out. it could. it's been decimated. we don't know what she's advocating for but there are thousands of people behind the scenes who go into making a theatre production happen. i think they will probably be a lot of people look at this front page and think oh its just another lobby kinda moping the fa ct just another lobby kinda moping the fact that they can't get back on stage. that's not the case at all. it isa stage. that's not the case at all. it is a strong part of our cultural identity. the passion we have for that they are in this country has grown hugely over the last for years was up i'll be at that has meant with it it's very expensive to go there, of course was up some of the smaller theatres really struggle normally anyway, don't they? were not talking about the big west end ones. 503, pub theatres, they don't make very much money anyway really. they don't. and they're extremely
11:48 pm
enterprising during lockdown. natural theatre relies on a lot of publicity. the small theatres have been doing brilliant things as well. actually they got a lot of new fans who are very keen to go back and see life all of them. at that moment they are not allowed to open their doors but they're not allowed to put ona doors but they're not allowed to put on a live performance which is com pletely on a live performance which is completely ridiculous. at times, here comes the bride. without her father. you know, who is going to follow this advice? do you think? not many people i suspect. yes you're right it sounds like something which, the advice you can't walk down the aisle with the bride because they're too close and on, you can't have singing. some of these things unfortunately will happenl these things unfortunately will happen i suppose because the venues will be required to do it and feel forced to do it. you won't be able to have singing because people talk too loud, you won't be able to have
11:49 pm
a reception of any number of people at all. the wedding itself is limited to 30. all sorts of restrictions. you do wonder how many people will want to go ahead and get married, especially those i suppose some people want to get married and weren't planning a big ceremony for top anybody else might be tempted to think well let's hang on until next year, hopefully when we can do it properly. yeah, couples who have to say their vows quietly to avoid spreading the virus as well. say their vows quietly to avoid spreading the virus as welllj say their vows quietly to avoid spreading the virus as well. i mean, what spreading the virus as well. i mean, what is person quiet is one persons full volume, is in a? how we are going to police that i have no idea. cani going to police that i have no idea. can ijust going to police that i have no idea. can i just make going to police that i have no idea. can ijust make a plea for notjust fathers walking down the aisle because i was walked down the aisle by both my mum and my dad. and there are plenty of mothers who want their children down the aisle these days as well. i'll be it by social distance we are told.|j as well. i'll be it by social distance we are told. i think they arejust going with distance we are told. i think they are just going with the traditional.
11:50 pm
as iain duncan smith says this is absurd, why can't you hold arm to arm? it's absurd, why can't you hold arm to arm ? it's clocked absurd, why can't you hold arm to arm? it's clocked a cloth contact up you looking ahead. and you would think that you eat they probably spend time together anyway. it's not that theyjust at the actual event onto a? i think they are saying they can hold hands if they are from the same household but they must stay at least a metre apart. it's all very confusing. which could drive you to drink. which takes us to the telegraph story. saying that, another survey, good news a little alcohol claire is good for you. two alcoholic drinks a day, they don't say the quantity. no they don't. two alcoholic drinks a day beats one which is one of the previous studies have told us. but you know, we get mixed messages on this all the time. don't drink anything, one drink a day is fine, this and that, this
11:51 pm
doesn't have scribed any units to wa nt to doesn't have scribed any units to want to drink means. left open to interpretation. but it's tempting to think that we might have finally found the sweet spot for how much is good for you to drink every day. also, does that mean every day? perhaps that's me being a journalist. i see every day. that says more about me than the survey doesin says more about me than the survey does in a? something which to chill you out. i suppose the problem is that every day there is a different survey with different advice.|j that every day there is a different survey with different advice. i was going to say, i think there's been other surveys that have made the actually reversed point. that daily drinking is bad for you because it's cumulative. alsojust drinking is bad for you because it's cumulative. also just thinking about drinksal cumulative. also just thinking about drinks a i think that would put certainly females have a slightly lower recommended weekly intake pretty much above also you bang on the recommended limit that already exist. and it certainly what the size of those two drinks is. we are
11:52 pm
almost into tomorrow. if you haven't drank today, you can perhaps bridge the gap and have want now. listen, it's good to speak to you both thank you very much for taking us us through the first editions of the papers. us through the first editions of the papers. that's it for the papers this hour. will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers. goodbye for now. coming up next we've got a sports roundup. hello, bbc sport centre r. hopes of european football next season have been boosted this evening after a one “— been boosted this evening after a one —— neal win at crystal palace in the premier league. it was that cut captain on his 300 appearance. who threw himself into beat that bowl to put them ahead in the second half. that won the palace kickoff. what wa nt to that won the palace kickoff. what want to watch again. move up to eight in the table above arsenal and

coach. and with a round of third premier league players black or mixed—race many now believe the sport has to seize the moment and tackled the discrepancy. there needs to bea tackled the discrepancy. there needs to be a review of the selection process surely. but also at the same time how do you tell a business who they should be looking to represent theirclub? they should be looking to represent their club? it's they should be looking to represent theirclub? it'sa they should be looking to represent their club? it's a difficult one. education is definitely needed but also we as black people now have got to start talking about it but also making sure we are the best person for the job. we are tired of screaming for help. players have made clear they now expect change. they hope the initiative announced today helps and it's not too little too late. this is a being that we're seeing across a range of sports including our hemp formula i and lewis hamilton and his team—mates
