twitter says it is working to resolve what it calls a "security incident" after several high—profile twitter accounts were simultaneously hacked by attackers who used the accounts to spread a cryptocurrency scam. joe biden, jeff bezos, and barack obama were all targetted. president trump's leading adviser on the coronavirus, dr anthony fauci, has described efforts by some in the white house to discredit him as bizarre. he said a series of attacks on him reflected poorly on the trump administration. indonesia saw its biggest dailyjump in coronavirus deaths. the country has had nearly 4000 deaths since the pandemic started. indonesia has the highest fatality rate in asia and one of the highest in the world.
11:31 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are polly mckenzie — the chief executive for director of the cross—party thinktank demos and brexit commissioning editor the telegraph asa bennett. great to have you both along for this second edition of our papers. tomorrow's front pages starting with. .. the telegraph says oxford scientists believe they've made a breakthrough in their search for a covid—19 vaccine, after discovering that the jab triggers a response that may offer a "double defence" against the virus. the times also leads with that story and says volunteers in the trial are understood to have shown encouraging levels of neutralising antibodies, thought to be important in protecting against viral infection, and there were no serious side—effects. the express is jubilant, saying the success at trial raises
11:32 pm
hope that there will be a vaccine by the end of 2020. the metro goes with what it calls growing confusion over the need to wear masks in shops in england, with health secretary matt hancock and no.10 appearing to give conflicting advice. the daily mail says speed cameras are being used to make money rather than prevent deaths, according to an official report. the police watchdog says some locations are chosen because they are "‘good hunting grounds‘ for fines. and the guardian says the uk labour party is poised to make a formal apology to anti—semitism whistle—blowers as part of a settlement designed to draw a line under allegations made during thejeremy corbyn era. though there are some of the papers. we will start so let's begin... with the daily telegraph with this hope of a vaccine racing. we are trying to be experts here but we are talking about a top team of oxford
11:33 pm
leading with this potentially a double defence antibodies and killer t cells. it sounds very dramatic. paco still with. first i love this picture of professor sarah gilbert. i think for one of the lead researchers into this potential vaccine, it is so great to see a woman absolutely at the front line of potentially helping save the world from this horrific disease that has ravaged our communities and oui’ that has ravaged our communities and our economy. i love the picture. the vaccine which they are developing in 0xford vaccine which they are developing in oxford is going to the phase one human trials to see if it is effective and safe. and so it seems that the response from the t cells which attack already infected human cells and antibody response. this is
11:34 pm
good news because the t cell response potentially can last longer and we've already seen other research suggesting that antibodies, those who have been affected create, tend to leave the body after a few months so are naturally immunity would not respond by potentially if this comes to fruition and really does work, this vaccine really could last much longer than that in terms of its impact. we certainly need some good news with that when it comes to how this will work going forward , comes to how this will work going forward, if this is in fact a breakthrough and a successful vaccine, does it work? what is a belong to? is it the big pharma that ta kes belong to? is it the big pharma that takes responsibility and who owns it? interesting question. we have seen recently with the us going mad buying all of the stocks it seems oui’ buying all of the stocks it seems our remdesivir for example, in the belief that it might help combat covid—i9, there is almost a marketplace care and the rail race
11:35 pm
for every nation is all in it for themselves. as regards to this oxford project, my understanding is that the uk government has taken claim toa that the uk government has taken claim to a good share of them and although there will be if there are vaccines if they are successful, the neck support around but certainly the uk is almost trying to show such confidence that i think that hancock did make clear he's put it in advance orders and this is critical because let's state is vaccine here, fingers crossed, is given the all clear. we will find out in the coming days when they published findings in the healthjournals. then it will take weeks, maybe even months to be deployed and to have inoculations across the country and all the while, and you really cannot have the time of the lecture room because there is a fear about the winter and whether there will be a second way. the vaccine cannot come soon second way. the vaccine cannot come soon enough. just briefly, do you think we will see a vaccine by the
11:36 pm
end of this year than before the winter wave? i mean, the signs seem clear that there is lot of hope. but this is really difficult and fantastic to see so many different people around the world working on this and collaborating in so many different ways, i think international government responses have been poorly coordinated but the scientific community has responded with astonishing speed. i am not a scientist. i know there is a lot of wishful thinking care. i hope that the answer is yes. i think if it is possible, it will happen. apologies to perch on the spot. it will come up to perch on the spot. it will come up to one of the paper it's a little bit later. that headline will be. —— put you on the spot. you mention the government responses not being as cohesive as the science community. the metro is focusing on mask and
11:37 pm
the headline in a play on words, you really ca n the headline in a play on words, you really can ms get up. we have rishi sunak this time wearing a mask however last week when he was serving in a restaurant he was not wearing a mass delivery summer statement. —— wearing a mask. and now matt hancock not wearing a mess what that really need some clear messaging. when it comes to whether we should be wearing mask. completely. you can lose track of all of this. it stemmed from the fa ct all of this. it stemmed from the fact that the government wants now for us to have compulsory masks when one inside shots so the question goes 0k where are the exceptions then. of course public transport is not compulsory, offices, and when people have been seen, ministers going into shops to buy their sandwiches, some have been wearing mask. rishi sunak. some have not been like michael gove. a minister who says it is diminished to make
11:38 pm
sure you are wearing the mask. and so sure you are wearing the mask. and so there's all sorts of theories and spin off you can have about why do you not have to really wear a mask and not this and matt hancock said reps to the idea that it will be compulsory in offices. is it because you are regularly exposed to them? all in all i think it is the basic fa ct all in all i think it is the basic fact that you made to remember is that mask at least help you and protect others if you are symptomatic. they are still worthwhile. the government at least knows that. certainly think about other people of the message there. let's move forward to the times newspaper. the front page and the headline is about focusing on the oxford double defence vaccine potential. but the headline on the talk to you about is conservative party that only got an mp after an intelligence committee coup, referring to number ten attempt to install chris grayling is the former
11:39 pm
transport secretary failed to get this position as chairman of the committee of intelligence, so the repercussions of that. only chris grayling could fail to when a stitched up election. but to add to his kind of legacy of policy failures, it is hard not to laugh. but it is a bit depressing. there is actually a really important committee, the intelligence and security committee is not like the other select committees. it is much more private and much more formal, it has a statutory role to scrutinise the government security services. and there is this investigation which they did into russian interference, the
11:40 pm
referendum, and elections in democracy more broadly which they have produced in the government has been sitting on. that was controversial during the election, we kept being promised to and basicallyjulia louis this afternoon got the labour mps and the snp member of the committee to agree that they would vote for him if they nominated himself at the bestjulia louis. he nominated himself and they voted for home and out of the blue he won without chris grayling is now not the chair and as a result, he has basically been sacked from the conservative party but still the chair. but i'm just hearing conservative party but still the chair. but i'mjust hearing in my air, what troubles me about this episode, i will come back to that in a moment but let me get your assessment of this step does this mean therefore that we are going to see the reports into a less russian interference coming out earlier now,
11:41 pm
potentially as early as next week according to the times newspaper?” wouldn't be surprised because think about the impact of what downing street has done a response. they clearly wanted chris grayling to have the topjob clearly wanted chris grayling to have the top job at chairman. and clearly wanted chris grayling to have the topjob at chairman. and by responding withjulian have the topjob at chairman. and by responding with julian lewis concession by kicking him out of the party, they have given him now no reason to spare downing street blushes. so that will be problematic now because they will have manifesting independence at chairman. who then doesn't do any compunction or needs to have mercy on any former party collects because he was kicked out by them. he was accused of colluding with labour and the opposition. so all of this, chris grayling is has failed in the contest and the potential broke as chairman said. —— and potentially
11:42 pm
going broke. dominic grieve, the former chair the committee has been talking to newsnight programme and says what troubles me about this episode is the mindset it gives about what on earth is going on in downing street and why did they try and manipulate this process. reflecting about what you said earlier stop it yes. . they take the view that with the majority of they have total authority over basically all the doings of the government and the state. i think that is certainly not our tradition. our tradition is that we have a split between the executive and the legislator. and that scrutiny of government by parliament is an incredibly important part of how you make government successful and do well. it actually makes us better. it is not about giving power to your enemies. but that is just not the way the current incumbents of
11:43 pm
downing street see the world. in the question is when things get tough as they had during this period and will continue to get tough, my view is that you find you need your allies and friends in parliament and if you have taken this approach that unless you do everything i say, you are my enemy and i will kind of beat you to a pulp, you end up with no friends at all when the going gets tough. and eventually the prime minister will be left alone and nobody will wa nt to will be left alone and nobody will want to talk to him. right. onto the guardian newspaper. thank you. it is about, the labour party points to make a formal apology to anti—semitism whistle—blowers, this isa anti—semitism whistle—blowers, this is a labour party new leadership under sir keir starmer trying to get a grip on this situation within his party. obviously, the report points out thatjeremy
11:44 pm
party. obviously, the report points out that jeremy corbyn's response of the time, the labour officials were dismissed as bitter when they were speaking out and now thankfully there whistle— blowers will get speaking out and now thankfully there whistle—blowers will get what they deserved an apology and recognition that they were quite right to highlight the concerns about how the party was handling the anti—semitism allegation. it speaks to the fact that sir keir starmer is inheriting a rather toxic legacy from jeremy corbyn and he's really having to clean up shop. so this is good to hear. onto the times newspaper. they have said that it has seen a letter apparently the prime minister, the proposal to move both houses of parliament to york while the palace of westminster is refurbished, the letter seen by the times saying that borisjohnson casting doubt on the renovation project and that it was agreed in 2018. fill us in on what they are suggesting here. we know that
11:45 pm
parliament is basically falling to pieces. that has been the case for many years and this refurbishment programme requires mps to move out of the chamber. they are now looking at alternatives because the cost is getting bigger and bigger and at alternatives because the cost is getting biggerand biggerand more and more controversial given the pressures on spending elsewhere. borisjohnson is pressures on spending elsewhere. boris johnson is encouraging officials to look at a much more radical suggestion, which i am enormously in favour of which is moving parliament to york for a bit. the only change i would make is that it should be permanent. if we want to break the kind of to give many of london and the idea of having all of our economy and politics entered in one place, let us move politics and move it to york and manchester, and thatis move it to york and manchester, and that is i think how you would the level up agenda he agenda he says he wa nts to level up agenda he agenda he says he wants to be his legacy. onto the guardian newspaper. the bristol, the
11:46 pm
cost and the slave trader statue removed from the plant overnight to my new statue has appeared by the artist mark quinn and ofjen reed, a black lives matter activists who had after that statue had going out there and this was the what we see now is the inspiration. this was done and put up without permission. what do you make of it?” done and put up without permission. what do you make of it? i mean, as i said earlier, now it seems that the councils are in a real bind because it will have it candidate for moving say this was... the politics in the backlash would be horrific. so i think it comes down to the idea that when we saw the other statue being taken when we saw the other statue being ta ken out
11:47 pm
when we saw the other statue being taken out the community feelings and intentions the statute evoked meant that few authorities, no one among the authorities saying actually maybe in time we were returning to his place. some of them were secretly relieved that community had taken action. sol secretly relieved that community had taken action. so i think if the community really do want the statue down, fine. i'll have slight concerns that about having a statue of somebody ripped down and put back there but if they want it, they're welcome to it. if we want to have that express very to sum up the changing times in the history, that is quite a powerful way of doing it. the artist to stress it is not permanent. it is certainly there and it looks very striking. finally, the express ends on the headline is, we talked about this earlier, huge letters from hopes ofjabs and by the end of the year but it is a
11:48 pm
difficult frontier. but when it comes to the image, i want to just look at that image of her majesty the queen 19 sir tom at windsor. captain tom, what a really amazing man. “— captain tom, what a really amazing man. —— 19 sir tom. captain tom, what a really amazing man. -- 19 sir tom. yes. lovely to see. in some ways i laid there was walk up and down his rather generously sized garden but on the other, what he did was capture the spirit of courage and resilience in the face of this extraordinary challenge which we want them through. the people who donated that £100 million will feel that their generosity and their compassion is also being celebrated in the person of captain tom. good for the cleaning good for captain tom. he also inspired so many children as well who are dealing with difficulties. —— good for the clean
11:49 pm
and good for. a real inspiration to capturing the nations mood. completely. he is a hero. he will have a book coming out. i think a deal for one. really see how he has inspired generations and the next generation. on that positive note, less and if there. i would not say anything more. we need a bit of positivity. thank you both as always. thank you to our viewers forjoining us. and our hash—tag is bbc papers if you want to get involved. see you soon. hello i'm tulson tollet, and this is your sports news — where we start with football and bournemouth have left themselves in serious danger of relegation from the premier league, after they were beaten 2—1 at manchester city. david silva opened the scoring, early in the first half, for city
11:50 pm
with this brilliant free—kick. before gabrieljesus made it two with a great solo goal. bournemouth did get one back late on but it wasn't enough to get anything from the game. anyti an from the game. anyti an from the form. he's one of the guys who came back after the lock that in better condition. he played really well. so difficult to replace him. how do you replace them? it will be difficult. we have players. we will try different players. we will try different players to do it. it will be difficult. we gave it everything tonight. real credit to the players for keeping going right to the final whistle. we were desperate for the ball to bounce itjust never happened. when you go 1—0 down to a world—class goal really early in the game, it can seem like a difficult way back. full credit to the players with how they conducted themselves. despite going in front against arsenal — champions liverpool's dream of breaking the premier league's
11:51 pm
point—scoring record for a season is over. after sadio mane put the reds in front, alexandre lacazette equalised as liverpool found themselves wanting at the back and a minute before the half time interval reiss nelson put the gunners in front and it stayed that way leaving arsenal ninth. harry kane passed 200 club career goals for tottenham as he scored twice as in their 3—1 win over newcastle. jose mourinho's side are up to seventh which could see them grab a place in next year's europa league. here's kane with the bbc‘s martin fisher. it was another landmark for you. your 200th goal in football. what does that mean you? great achievement to get, but hopefully... hopefully if you might ago. until the next one and two more games now. let's try to get a few more goals for the season and.
11:52 pm
hopefully if you more. how is it important tottenham qualify for european football again next season? for everyone involved, they know how important it is for england, doing it for ten or so years in a row. we feel like if we win the last two games, we should be there and that's what we're trying to do. jimmy anderson is to be rested for england's second test against the west indies. it's just one of three changes the selectors have made. captainjoe root is back, and has confirmed he'll replace joe denly in the side. root missed england's defeat in the first match to be at the birth of his daughter. durham's mark wood is also being rested, while root‘s return for the old trafford test also means zak crawley will bat at three, but root admitted it was a tough decision to make, with denly a key part of the team over the last year. the way that he has mended some very difficult periods, he will want to go huntand difficult periods, he will want to go hunt and made bigger scores, but he enabled guys below him to go and do that. it is a shame he misses out
11:53 pm
but it is one of those difficult things that you have to deal with in professional sports. root will have to turn things around quickly if he's to get the better of an in—form west indies side. their captain jason holder says their opening win has brought the islands of the carribean together. he even got calls from three different prime ministers, to congratulate them. their support means a lot to us, and to have the support from heads of government means a lot to us. there's been a lot of english, west indian fans in england, who would've been disappointed about not being able to see cricket for the first time, but their messages to us all... again, it's a great start for us but we have to start again. former british and irish lions head coach ian mcgeechan says the tour of south africa will be outstanding after the announcement that it will go ahead earlier today. the lions will play three test matches against the world champions injuly and august,
11:54 pm
as well as five tour matches. i think, had it not been made until later, it becomes more complicated. at least i think now, players, coaches everything can be planned and i know, looking at 30,000 plus supporters wanting to be there, so it all helps in the organisation for what should be an outstanding tour. that's all the sport for now. hello. sunshine was certainly in short supply on wednesday. thursday, we should see the cloud breaking for central and eastern parts of the uk, but it will, i think, again be the case that many of our western hills
11:55 pm
and coasts, very much like wednesday, will remain besieged by cloud, a lot of it low, making things very misty and murky. so, here's the weather front that's bringing in all of that moisture and all that cloud at the moment. it is a warm weather front and it certainly will keep a fairly intact covering across the uk as we move into the small hours of thursday. so a mild enough start, but generally quite a gloomy one. but here's the difference to wednesday. as the hours go by, particularly come the afternoon, we should see more in the way of sunny spells all the way through from the welsh marches into central and eastern england. eastern scotland looking like a particularly favoured spot with some sunshine to perhaps get our top temperature for the day, maybe even 2a or 25 degrees here, thanks to the foehn effect. further west, much cooler, some rain pushing in. that's because we will see a cold front starting to move into the north—west of scotland later on thursday. that will then gradually progress its way south into scotland and northern ireland on friday. so some wet weather for both scotland and northern ireland to close out the week,
11:56 pm
pushing increasingly into northern england as we get later on into the day as well, into the likes of cumbria and northumberland. clearer skies to the north of the front, but some chillier air. to the south, perhaps our warmest day of the next few. temperatures in the mid—20s, where we should see some decent sunshine on friday. and then for the weekend, it's a question ofjust how quickly this front will work its way southwards. that is open to some question. for saturday, it looks like scotland and northern ireland should be largely dry with some sunshine, aside from sharper showers in the north—west of scotland. this band of cloud, the weather front tending to break up as it works its way south on saturday, but for a time, there could be a cloudier spell of weather for many parts of england and wales, perhaps a little light and patchy rain. and notice the temperatures have just come down a shade, even to the south with some sunshine, in contrast to friday. saturday into sunday, the front keeps trickling its way slowly south—eastwards. by sunday, it possibly could be away into the continent. there isjust the question, though, that it could linger
11:57 pm
towards the south—east of the uk, producing some quite showery weather for the likes of kent for a time. but i think, overall for sunday, a lot of dry weather for the uk as a whole, but some more frequent showers pushing into the north—west of scotland. again, though, our temperatures — well, falling a little short for where we'd expect them for this time of year. and even on into next week, i can't promise you a heatwave. it looks like our temperatures will still stay pegged back by a few degrees, but i can promise you more in the way of sunshine because we're set to see quite a significant ridge of high pressure building in for the first half of the week at least, so there will be a lot of dry weather around, but we're still in a cool north—westerly airflow so that's why our temperatures don't bounce back, even though we will see more in the way of sunshine. looking at the high teens to the north of the uk, getting into the low 20s for much of the south of england and across south wales. as for the rest of the week — well, that makes things look a little bit more unsettled for many as we're set, i think,
11:58 pm
to see low pressure beginning to develop across the northern half of the uk. perhaps, though, towards the following weekend, we'll see ridging taking hold once again, but certainly, in the shorter term, it's looking quiet for the start of next week.
11:59 pm
12:00 am
