—— from france. the measures also apply to the netherlands another country. —— and other countries. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bring us tomorrow. with us our political editor from the tomorrow. with us our political editorfrom the mirror tomorrow. with us our political editor from the mirror nigel nelson andjo editor from the mirror nigel nelson and jo phillips. the observer says nearly 5 million gcses will be awarded using a model experts fear could lead to more results being downgraded. the sunday express has education secretary gavin williamson battling to get children back to school next month because he had the risk of not returning it's too high to ignore. the sunday mirror reports that some mps are calling for the secretary to quit —— education

secretary to quit. according to the sunday telegraph, public helping been —— public health england is to been —— public health england is to be replaced next month. the mail on sunday says the home secretary priti patel was in a row after claiming migrants were escaping france where they fear they would be tortured. the sunday people would ask the country will not recover for the current recession until 2023. let's start with the sunday mirror. sac oui’ start with the sunday mirror. sac our biggest failure. this of course, nigel, is that education secretary gavin williamson, who's been in charge whilst the chaos has rained after thursday's exam results. mps are furious about it, that the olympians called forth these

regulation —— the lib dems. now some labour mps regulation —— the lib dems. now some labourmps arejoining regulation —— the lib dems. now some labour mps are joining her, regulation —— the lib dems. now some labour mps arejoining her, i think they bought a very good point. gavin williamson has proven himself to be totally incompetent and unable to handle something like this. especially given he's had five months in which to do it. i'm not surprised at all that mps are calling for him to go. i think one thing that the tory party will start to be worried about is they could remember how the lib dems were wiped out after going back on student tuition fees, and students would never vote for them again. you can't see 18—year—old now wanting to actually vote for the tories either, and there's another generation of gcs the students likely to be in the same boat next week —— gcse.

gcs the students likely to be in the same boat next week -- gcse. is it fairto blame same boat next week -- gcse. is it fair to blame the education sec. when we got an independent exam regulator, ofcom, who we've learned in the last few minutes has suspended —— to downgrade as result. it sounds very much like a u—turn. i think the buck does stock with the education secretary —— does stop. we know since exams were cancelled several months ago, he has not done anything to ensure that people actually are protected —— quual. and that wasjust actually are protected —— quual. and that was just on the a—levels.

the a—levels are a much larger group of young people. and harder for an —— to grade, but it sounds like this quual suspension of the appeal syste m quual suspension of the appeal system which is clearly bonkers. they may well be independent, but in the crisis we are in the middle of, it is down to the education secretary to make sure that what processes are put in place are fair and reasonable and read will not live up to all the promises he and the government made over the last few months which appear to be empty words ——. few months which appear to be empty words --. we do not know how appeals will be made. is it now going to go back to what the teachers predicted? we were led to believe that that would be quite a very important factor in what the grades were awarded. yes. quual seems to be

adding to the chaos and confusion. earlier, they seem to rip up gavin williams by saying mock grades would not necessarily be taken into account. prior to that, what the education secretary said was that the higher of mocks teacher predictions or the algorithm verdicts would be the ones to actually be taken. now quual seems to have done a u—turn, but thatjust adds to the extra confusion. what is so adds to the extra confusion. what is so astonishing is if they had five months to work this out, they must have seen this one coming. especially what happened in scotland a few days ago. just before the results, they knew it was going to

happen, of course it's the children who will suffer. even if grades are changed, some people will probably find it's too late for them to get into their university of choice or any university for that matter. exactly, and i understand that universities apart from some that have already said they'll send by what's been made regardless of new algorithm grades, but i understand most universities would only until the end of august. the deadline for the end of august. the deadline for the appeal is september the 7th. it'sjust common the appeal is september the 7th. it's just common sense to get the appeal is september the 7th. it'sjust common sense to get it right, and actually, at the end of the day, if some kids end up going to university who may be did not get the results they should have or could have, and this year of all years when they have their education

disrupted, doesn't really matter? because what you're saying is actually, you're at the bottom of the card, we don't care about you, we haven't sorted this out, we don't know what we're doing, we are making it up as we do. —— as we go. know what we're doing, we are making it up as we do. -- as we go. thank you very much. you think we planned that, what new? children must come first, the education sec. again saying the risks have not —— of not returning are too high. this feels like a distraction exercise from his other problems. one thing he will be announcing tomorrow is a new school safety campaign, and this is designed to reassure parents that when their children go back in september, everything is perfectly safe, all protections will be in place. at the moment, i don't think

many parents will be thinking about september so much as what is actually happening to children's exams in the present time. but yes, the one thing gavin williamson and i would have in common is that the absolute necessity to try and get schools up and running by september. so, fora campaign schools up and running by september. so, for a campaign like this, sort out the exam debacle first. the suggestion was pubs i have to close if schools reopen. there are some who might think it may be a more important to get schools back opening before pope pubs. the national education union came out with tests to make sure they felt safe —— with tests to make sure they felt safe — — before with tests to make sure they felt safe —— before pubs. ithink what's happening here is what we're seeing it across various departments the

government is looking to blame on the people, and in the case of education, they are very keen to blame teaching unions for not allowing schools reopen. what have the government been doing? it goes back to they had months to think about this, to work out how to do it. are they going to be testing? how are they going to manage social isolation? their children who will be starting school for the first time in september. there are are worried. if you want to get kids back to school, which is actually imperative, but also parents can go back to work if they are able then you have to make sure that children and staff, not just you have to make sure that children and staff, notjust the you have to make sure that children and staff, not just the teachers, and staff, not just the teachers, and everybody involved is safe and feels confident. but i don't think as every day goes past and the government makes yet another shamble or u—turn or quick decision on the back, i think this is actually

disappearing. just talk to us about the mail on sunday's lead story. this is over the number of migrants coming across and priti patel‘s explanation why so many people are leaving france to come to britain. she's created an absolute storm! this apparently a private meeting with tory mps where the home secretary said people were, refugees we re secretary said people were, refugees were fleeing france because it's so very racist. it's been denied on her behalf that actually, that's not what she said. but it came at the time that europe's topjudges through the european court of human rights ruled against france and found them guilty of depriving three migrants of their basic rights, food, shelter and safety. the judges have made the french government pay

£32,000 to the three men.|j have made the french government pay £32,000 to the three men. ijust wa nt to £32,000 to the three men. ijust want to move on if i might. nigel, priti patel said she's got to make that crossing a very unattractive proposition for people. yes, i think probably that's right. for their own safety for no other reason. crossing the channel is extremely dangerous, so the channel is extremely dangerous, so everything will be done to encourage people from making the crossing in the first place to be welcomed —— it should be welcomed. then comes the question of how you go about doing it. we've had some rather ridiculous ideas that we might send the navy end. you can't really shoot them out of the water or something like that. we also have theissue or something like that. we also have the issue of dealing with the french, whether or not these boats are in british waters, french marauders, who's responsible for them. ultimately, the best we can do is negotiate some kind of deal with

france —— france waters. making comments like this doesn't actually help because it comes across as diplomatically tone deaf. nigel talk is about the observer story, we need more cash for the winter risk. it could be a collision of covid and the flu. that's right. theresa may gave the nhs £20 billion that would come in by 2023. that was in 2018, before covid was even a sort of spark and anyone's i. what the nhs is saying is they will have to implead the re—hit think that deal and have more money. —— completely rethink that deal. i think and absolutely, that will happen. we have a tremendous backlog of treatments and operations that

haven't been carried out that will haven't been carried out that will have to try and sort out. if we're not to have waiting lists running into months and even years, the only way to do that is to a bit more. let's finish with the sunday telegraph. dave holiday season, prime minister urge —— safe holiday season. your options are rapidly reducing. they are indeed. frankly, you be worried about going anywhere. there was a twitter amounts meant to say your —— ministers are putting pressure on the government to not add any more countries into the quarantine list. there are growing fears that turkey might be the next country to be added because there has been a significant increase in covid cases they are. we saw it happen with france in the last 24 hours, i think there also some concerns hours, i think there also some concerns about greece. greece and

turkey are popular holiday destinations for brits that go abroad. there's a lot of uncertainty around, but in the end, it's got to be about public health. these are very difficult decisions to take, notjust for the very difficult decisions to take, not just for the government, very difficult decisions to take, notjust for the government, but very difficult decisions to take, not just for the government, but for families who desperately want to go on holiday. but maybe this is the year when you say, "we can't do it." it's not worth it for two weeks holiday. finally, the prime minister said he would be robust and adding more countries to that quarantine list, but here it looks like he's under pressure not to act too hastily. ministers are saying they especially don't want greece to be added to the list. my children are actually on holiday there at the moment. grown chaps will make the decision on thursday. when you look at the figures
