this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. these are our headlines: several european governments have expressed concern about the resurgence of the coronavirus cases in a number of countries, including belgium, spain and france, where cases appear to be heading upwards. here, one of the government's scientific advisers suggests england may have to consider closing pubs if it's to re—open schools as planned. from today, more than 2 million people considered at high risk from coronavirus will no longer need to shield in most parts of england. details of concerns that british special forces may have targeted unarmed civilians in afghanistan in 2011. president trump says he'll ban tiktok — the chinese—owned video—sharing app — in the us, calling it a threat to americans.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with us, iain anderson, executive chairman of the market research agency cicero... rubbing it into any chelsea fan watching! ..and the author and journalist shyama perera. the sunday telegraph says it has seen what it calls "radical" government plans in order to avert a second national lockdown. the observer has a warning from one of the country's biggest teaching unions that parents and teachers need further reassuring that schools are safe to reopen next month. the sunday mirror says health experts are questioning the government's strategy to potentially close pubs so that schools can open, while new restrictions are imposed for millions of people in the north of england. the sunday times says

the defence secretary is being ordered to explain why evidence was witheld from a judge which showed sas troops had killed innocent afghan civilians in 2011. the mail on sunday reports that a conservative mp has been arrested on suspicion of raping and sexually assaulting a commons researcher. a conservative party spokesman has said they "take all allegations of this nature extremely seriously." and the sunday express says it's conducted a poll which shows millions of brits say they won't be going away this year due to concerns about coronavirus. let's start with the sunday telegraph. ministers blueprint to avoid new lockdown. which could mean, iain, shielding forsome groups who have onlyjust had to go ahead to go out. that's right. i mean, just looking at... the headline, blueprint to avoid a new lockdown, i think there's a word that's missing there, which is avoiding a new national lockdown, because we already seen what the prime minister announced yesterday in the northwest and other parts of

the country, that there are limited forms of lockdown that are starting to be rolled out. they're clearly concerned the r number is starting to move up again, and this piece sort of unpacks a strategy by the government took, yeah, put shielding backin government took, yeah, put shielding back in place, really, really quickly. i'm hoping to go and see my own parents quite soon. i'm not seen them for six months. central london lockdown. that's reported in some of the other newspapers as well. the plain fact is that the idea that this is over by christmas is, looks like it is pretty much pie in the sky now. it is a difficult balance, isn't it? keep the economy going but protect those who really are most at risk. that's what they have tried to do so far, but the infection rate keeps coming back in certain places.

absolutely... trying to find even ways in different parts of the country, and i don't think it is any surprise... to read between the lines here, it seems to me every single time we take off, we break in one area, we bash down harder in another, and at some point, basically, we're going to run out of and we are going to have to go intellect on again, but what the sunday telegraph is suggesting is that they are finding ways of... even within those shielding groups, they will have gradations. some who have to be totally shielded, others who have to go out, and it says a

leader in the world health organization's pandemic response team says you cannot go to lockdown because the impact on other health, social, is so great. you cannot have operations and health problems get resolved, you're still waiting because the lockdown is continuing. just talk to us about the independent, because we have got here a call for lockdown to be tightened pretty imminently, and to head for zero covid. and that's apparent becoming from a member of sage, they said this week we cannot

carrying on opening doors, we've got to keep shutting them, and she suggested but we need to do is to get the... i'm not sure how that works, martin, how the myers works and how it infects —— martin, how the virus works and how it infects. we are struggling to hear you a little bit. it sounds like you're underwater, so we might do is carry on chatting to iain and we will redial you. we will lose you for a second but don't go anywhere, sit tight stop iain, the sunday times. karen pledged the testing pledge abandon. this was one of the key promises people in care homes would be tested every week because, as we know, this was where there were a lot of infections, and now they are not going to do that. yeah, so testing was being rolled out from

the start ofjuly, from aboutjuly six according to the sunday times story. it appears the government has been writing as to local authorities to say that, actually, it's going to be impossible to get testing absolutely everywhere. it is not to be until the early part of september that testing is going to be able to reach groups that have dementia or key other needs. they are talking about trying to introduce a set of testing for those aged over 50, particularly in the 50—70 —year—old age group, but this... from start to finish, we need to have testing in place to be able to work out whether the strategy is working, and

actually to work out what to do next. just back to what you were discussing a little bit earlier on that independent headline, i think that independent headline, i think that idea of a zero covid approach, until we have a vaccine, is almost impossible to do. there is a trade—off here between our health and the economy. people said there was not, the reality is there really is, and shutting down the economy again with a total lockdown would be absolute disaster. shyama is back! iain, thank you for sustaining us! the observer is where we are at now. with all the other concern about us needing to maintain social distance

and all the wearing face coverings, and all the wearing face coverings, and yet schools are due to reopen this month in scotland and next month in england? is that to me? i only got the last three words. the observer, schools reopening. yes. basically, it is the teachers union has said that both parents and teachers are now worried, with the rules constantly changing, that, really, september is too early for children to be returning to school, but of course, what we are being told is that it should be weighed up and that ultimately, it is better to close pubs open schools than the other way around. really... they can keep their staff and the peoples safe. while we have got you, and it is working with what we have got,

just talk us through the sunday express , just talk us through the sunday express, virus fears put lives back on hold. people allowed out still not very confident to resume a more normal duties. what they are saying is that nine in ten shoulders have been given the strictest advice of staying inside and get they have been given more freedoms —— nine of ten shielders. because of what we are staying with the sunday telegraph story, all of these stories point up the uncertainty that we are being told one thing in one space and another in another, so all she -- all —— all shielders as of this week and are —— all shielders as of this week and a re allowed —— all shielders as of this week and are allowed to go out, they are allowed to shop, they are allowed to meet people as long as it is at a distance. they are allowed to have a fairly normal life as they have not been having up to date, but i have to say, i was saying earlier that i work for our local mutual aid group asa work for our local mutual aid group as a volunteer and a lot of the

people who are shielding are absolutely terrified. and also their associated problems, which is that they have become used to going out, become quite frightened of going out. a lot of them have got health problems that have been exacerbated by lockdown, both mental health problems and their own physical abilities, and so in fact, i think suggesting the shielders should just go out is wrong, but also scaring us and saying that virus fears are putting lives back on hold is equally scary and equally unhelpful. we have got so many problems around the shielding that have to be dealt with and i think doing it by bit by bit by bit is what our government is trying to do, and here we have the sunday telegraph is giving us the opposite story to the sunday express, but basically they are saying also the same thing, which is

that there is a problem around the shielders. i have got two more papers, and! shielders. i have got two more papers, and i wantjust one quick comment from each of you. sunday telegraph, iain, mahatma gandhi will be the first bame figure on a british coin. rate to see come a long overdue. it looks at the chancellor, rishi sunak, who has promoted this idea —— great to see, long overdue. i am not sure what coin god is going to be on, but it is good —— what coin gandhi is going to be on. it took a lot of effort to get jane austen onto a banknote, so maybe... jane austen onto a banknote, so maybe. . . the jane austen onto a banknote, so maybe... the 50p coin, which used to be an eu coin, ab it could be that.

mahatma got he would be quite a good start. i would like to see a whole set of them, actually. i think mary, the nurse? if we are looking at anti—colonialism, i do not know if these people ended up as dictators, but you've got lumumba, mandela, so many people in that anti—colonial fight, and rishi sunak says, for generations, as nick minard groups have died for this country. we have bills to gather, —— tilts together, taught our children, and through enterprising spirit, have treated our most thriving businesses. i like the way he makes ethnic minority groups part

of that history. we are not separate to it. we are part of it. let's finish with a quick comment about the independent‘s picture or snow‘s lori and emily an empty ‘s glory at strange. i cannot watch it without the noise. it feels very strange. playing the game in the vast stadium like wembley without any fans must be difficult, but it's just, wembley without any fans must be difficult, but it'sjust, for me, it's a moment of happiness in the midst of rather gloomy news. and the 14th time arsenal have won, shyama. lam nota 14th time arsenal have won, shyama. i am not a football fan. i watched

it. arsenal deserves to win, they we re it. arsenal deserves to win, they were the better team, sorry to chelsea fans. i have to say, iain, i loved it in the empty stadium. whoever did it deserves the oscar for it. they knew instinctively, when so many missed, and it absently match what we were watching on—screen. match what we were watching on-screen. we have got to get used to it, i think! on-screen. we have got to get used to it, ithink! it on-screen. we have got to get used to it, i think! it could be like it for a while. that is it for the papers for tonight. iain and shyama, thank you for being with us, sorry about the issues. the film review
