taking a bit of a risk there. it points out that other countries have had cova testing at borders, so on arrival, you are tested. could be cut down, but that requires a robust testing regime. it all comes back to testing regime. it all comes back to test and trace. you need to be conducting tests on arrival and conducting tests on arrival and conducting tests on arrival and conducting tests again during that quarantine period. that you might be able to cut it down to ten days. these are the kind of things that have to be taken in order to protect these industries, but at the moment, itjust looks like these industries, but at the moment, it just looks like the government isn't getting a grip on the situation. how easy would it be to implement this kind of testing on arrival scenario? given that we see difficulties in getting people to test centres that are close by to them, so this still feels like when it comes to the infrastructure of this system, there is a little bit of work still to do. i think there
10:46 pm
isa of work still to do. i think there is a bit of work still to do, but actually, at the telegraph, we wants actually, at the telegraph, we wants a complain on exactly this. calling on the government to —— launched a campaign. we did some digging and found people are prepared to pay for these tasks. they would rather do that than quarantine. the boss of heathrow is really criticising the government and saying they're doing nothing to protect jobs. government and saying they're doing nothing to protectjobs. it's worth pointing out that heathrow has a test facility ready to go. it's just waiting for the government go ahead. a major airport like that looks like it's set up and ready to test compared to the current system, where people are coming back in the country with quara ntines where people are coming back in the country with quarantines coming into place really last—minute. people are coming into the country untested, and then we have a system that's based on trust. we are assuming that

they are self—isolating for 14 days, which many people are, but some aren't. it's difficult. children are returning to school, which leads me to the new york times. it's focusing on spain. it's a pretty damning article. it's looking at what spain is prioritising. it feels like it's the entertainment industry, as opposed to education. talk us through that. i've actually found new york times to be interesting in their reports during covid. they're quite damning. this one is from madrid, and talking about how basically, what's considered least urgent there seems to be the education for students. because bars and nightclubs have been kept open and nightclubs have been kept open and schools reopening basically, just chaos. i don't know if that sounds familiar at all, but it's very much like the kind of thing that we were saying in britain and
10:48 pm
england. over that we were saying in britain and england. 0versummer that we were saying in britain and england. over summer holidays, when borisjohnson had promised to get schools open before those holidays and failed to, and yet, the rest of the economy was starting to open and we had to eat out to help out. it looks like the situation is worse in spain. obviously, the priority is that tourism season, they don't want to lose out on that trade because they are so dependent on it. but there's now a student strike, different strategies for opening schools in the region. it's a bit of a mess. as you say, they do want to ta ke a mess. as you say, they do want to take advantage of the tourist industry, so how do they swear that? it will be difficult. the worst resurgent in europe. i'm not sure they will be able to. they've been criticised for prioritising bull—fighting in beaches, when the
10:49 pm
uk was prioritising hunting and golf and fishing. i have to say, i think it's a very worrying picture and how they prioritise their education and they prioritise their education and the tourism industry. just moving away from coronavirus. we don't have much time left. but i do want to focus on the financial times. gaps sparking fears at chaos at border. take us through this. this is the other impending crisis. the talks have not been going well with european leaders, it's increasingly likely that there'll be no deal. whatever happens, there will have to be huge changes at the borders, and this is an enlargement challenge and it's quite worrying. senior officials had revealed a basic lack officials had revealed a basic lack of knowledge about the time—consuming processes required to ta ke time—consuming processes required to take with new clients. basically,
10:50 pm
they are just saying the government doesn't have a grip on the situation. since no deal is looking increasingly likely, something that's pretty urgent is coming up very soon, that's pretty urgent is coming up very soon, and at the same time, we might have on the second wave of coronavirus. the urgent need for a government meeting. the financial times talks about the urgency of getting this result in order to avoid those disruptions to supply chains. what do you make of those? avoid those disruptions to supply chains. what do you make of those ?|j find it extraordinary that senior uk leaders of logistics associations have had to go to the financial times to call on rishi sunak to have a meeting and try to drive home them the seriousness. 85 days until the sist, which seems amazing. we've sort of blinked and it's autumn already. but in those 85 days, they've essentially got to com pletely they've essentially got to completely rewire a custom system
10:51 pm
that's been in place for 50 years. it's no wonder they're incredibly worried. whether there's a deal or no deal, these massive changes are going to have to take place. what was a very striking quote, when they accuse government officials of failing to grasp the basic real—world complicity ‘s of the time—consuming processes, so clearly this is something that should have been started already and needs to be started now. in a sentence, not much time left. i'm actually being told we don't have much time left. i have to leave it there. we will pick up on this in the next addition of the papers. for the time being, claire and siana, thank you so much for discussing what we've seen thus far. in the next hour, we will talk about the rest of the papers that are coming in. the hashtag is the papers if you'd like to get in the
