and into the south west of scotland, showers in the north—east through this evening, those showers also filtering southwards across some parts of england and wales, the cheshire gap into the midlands, potentially towards london, as well. a lot of dry weather to be found here and that continues through the night. it will turn quite chilly, as it will, the showers will diminish across parts of scotland and where we keep more cloud, still on the cool side but probably holding at ten or 11, so into double figures. but that does mean we will start sunday with quite a bit of cloud on this weather front here and showers but high pressure starting to build in. that will do two things — it will ease the shower activity across the northern half of the country, so fewer showers for scotland and northern ireland, but the winds will ease right across the uk. so, with lighter winds and for scotland and northern ireland, fewer showers and more sunshine, it will feel a little bit warmer here although we have a northerly breeze instead so near the north sea coast, quite cool. and it's not altogether dry — most of the showers starting across northern england, perhaps wales, the midlands, meandering southwards through the day, the clouds breaking up. sunshine in places that escape

the showers and here too it will be a little warmer than today because the winds are lighter as well. the high pressure holds the weather fronts at bay, mostly to the start of the new week in the south but by the end of the day on sunday, start of monday, we've already got the next atlantic weather system in, lots of cloud over the hills with rain in the north. in the south, we might have some fog for early—morning commuters. we have had shorter nights but they are lengthening now. once that clears, some hazy sunshine and a warmish day. in fact, it's a mild day, despite the cloud, the wind and the rain, and that is because we have changed our wind direction from the north—west of the south—west. that hangs around until wednesday until the north westerlies return. then we'll see outbreaks of rain, it looks as though most of the heavy rain will be in the north, as will be the brisk winds. we will keep you up—to—date. there's more online.

hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment with nigel nelson and jo phillips. first the headlines: a warning that the country is at "a critical moment" in the coronavirus pandemic, as thousands of students prepare to return to

universities across the uk. tighter coronavirus restrictions for bolton this evening, as the council says the city's infection rate has risen to 99 cases per100,000 people, perweek — the highest in england. government departments in england are told to get civil servants back to the office, "quickly" — but unions say the attitude is "outdated". borisjohnson criticises protests by environmental campaigners, extinction rebellion, targeting three printing presses owned by rupert murdoch. hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. joining me are the political editor of sunday mirror and the sunday people nigel nelson and political commentatorjo phillips. lovely to see you both. first, a quick look at some of those front pages. the observer leads with the contents of a leaked public health england report which suggests covid is now endemic in deprived parts of the country. following the blockade of newspaper printing plants by extinction rebellion today, the sunday telegraph claims the pro—environment group could be treated as an organised crime group by the government as part of a crackdown on its activities. that story also the lead for the sunday times, which tells of a cross—party rebuttal of extinction rebellion‘s latest action, and the resulting political consensus on the need for both freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

the mail leads on its interview with the uk's chief brexit negotiatior, lord frost, who's told the paper britain "will not blink", ahead of crunch talks next week with his eu conterpart, michel barnier. brexit also the lead for the express, and borisjohnson‘s warning to the eu that it must be realistic about what brexit means, insisting: oursovereignty is non—negotiable. and the sunday mirror features harry and meghan‘s deal with netflix. there are suggestions the couple are in talks over a film about princess diana. let us start our chat with jo let us start our chat withjo and nigel. lovely to see you both. jo, you are going to kick us off with the front page of the observer and it is covid in deprived parts of the

country, mainly the north west. exactly. as you just alluded to, this is a leaked document from public health england and it is currently marked as official sensitive. what it says is covid—i9 is firmly established in many communities, particularly in the north west and it raises questions ifa north west and it raises questions if a national lockdown back in march and april didn't manage to control the virus, then what is the point of the local lockdown is that many of these towns and cities are undergoing? it is bolton, manchester, old ham and undergoing? it is bolton, manchester, oldham and rochdale and there are real questions about it but it is stuff we have known from the very beginning and a lot of it is pretty obvious. these are areas of great deprivation, poor housing, overcrowding and ethnicity, all of which contribute to the impact and

the spread of coronavirus but i think the real thing that comes out of this is the sense that the local lockdown ‘s are not going to work if the national lockdown already hasn't and that the disease is endemic. as you preferred in the headlines, bolton has the highest figures in england for infection. a lot of questions there and it will feel again the friction already existing between public health england, seem to be abolished, and the government about how to deal with local lockdown is and local spikes infections. nigel, does this leaked document suggests solutions because the focus will be on the issue of deprivation. yes. jo has mentioned things like overcrowding. also have multi—generational living, fewer outside spaces for people to go to. in deprived areas the problem is going to be greater and yes, the

question is what do you do about it? if lockdown didn't work, local lockdown is also worked on that basis. it seems to me the only answer to this will be to make these areas a priority for testing so you can trace the progress of the disease. jo, let's turn to the mail on sunday. we are not going to blink this time around. i wonder what you can remind us what we blinked on the first time. it was blinking brexit. this is an exclusive interview with david frost, now lord frost who is the government's chief negotiator on brexit. it comes ahead of the eighth round of talks, only eight, i thought we must have been up to 808 because michel barnier is arriving in london on tuesday. david frost,

you may remember, also was appointed to lead the security brief for the uk which raised an eyebrow from theresa may. and he hasn't wasted any time in using this interview to basically put a jibe against her government and that is what he is referring to this time, we won't blink. it's a very gung ho interview, very much about we are going to stand up for british sovereignty, we will not give in, the eu aren't doing anything, they are failing to engage. it makes rather depressing reading i think for anyone who is concerned about what is actually going to happen at the end of the year when brexit happens and we haven't got a deal. it is quite clear that this has come with the backing and the sanction of downing street. i think it is all pa rt downing street. i think it is all part of the meshes about boris johnson needing to show he is

getting or is regaining a grip on things because he has had a disastrous summer, he is floundering on many things and we will come on to prime minister's questions in a while. this is about we are really going to go back onto the front foot, this is what he was elected for, to deliver brexit and damn those foreigners, we will do it whatever. that is the tone of the interview. michel barnier will be in town on tuesday. nigel? yes, he is. i always thought of brexit as being the biggest political story probably in my career in the sense it would change our lives. then covid came along and as a result of that, we have all ta ken along and as a result of that, we have all taken our along and as a result of that, we have all ta ken our eye along and as a result of that, we have all taken our eye off the ball a bit and so this rather bullish interview from lord frost makes us start looking at it again. what is

clear here is he is talking about going for an australian style deal with europe which effectively means fio with europe which effectively means no deal, we will end up coming out on world trade organisation terms. by on world trade organisation terms. by the end of the year we will be suddenly falling off the cliff edge that we have been trying to avoid ever since brexit started. i do find like jo the tone of the language pretty depressing because it sounds like we are hell— bent now are not getting any kind of deal at all. let's turn to the front of the sunday telegraph, extreme ideologies. yes, this is extinction rebellion and the protests that led to the delay and inability for anybody to get the papers. from the murdoch printing presses, about 1.5

million papers didn't get out. this isa million papers didn't get out. this is a story about the government, there has been widespread condemnation across the political spectrum, labour's shadow culture secretary, emily thornberry as well as long —— as well as priti patel and boris johnson as long —— as well as priti patel and borisjohnson criticising the protesters for attacking a free press. this is about new powers that are being discussed and whether or not extinction rebellion would become a banned organisation, a proscribed organisation, because what they want to do is to protect oi’ what they want to do is to protect or give the police the powers and more assistance to stop demos disrupting things like newspapers, like the printing and distribution of the press along with courts, parliament, council offices and other parts of the establishment going about their business. nigel,

cani going about their business. nigel, can i take you straight back to the front page of the observer and desperatejohnson to set up personal tax on keir starmer and his legal record. what's this about? this stems from this disastrous prime minister's questions that boris johnson had on wednesday where he we nt johnson had on wednesday where he went completely over the top, made a ridiculous allegation, well it was a smear against keir starmer about support for the ira, smear against keir starmer about support forthe ira, he smear against keir starmer about support for the ira, he could do that withjohn mcdonnell support for the ira, he could do that with john mcdonnell and jeremy corbyn but you can't get away with that with somebody who has a career prosecuting terrorists. boris johnson was furious at the end of all of this, he had been admonished by the speaker and now wants to launch more personal attacks on keir starmer. it is a ridiculous strategy and tory mps are beginning to ask whether borisjohnson is beginning

to lose it, whether he is up to the job, whether he is still suffering from the after—effects of covid. but the idea of going for keir starmer personally is sure to backfire. the idea of going for keir starmer personally is sure to backfirelj will personally is sure to backfire.” will stay with you nigel, because the front page of your paper and new material we will learn perhaps about princess diana. this is the deal harry and meghan have done with netflix. it is worth $100 million but one of the by—products of this is the suggestion they may well make a documentary about princess diana andl a documentary about princess diana and i can't think of anyone better to actually do that than one of her sofis. to actually do that than one of her sons. there is some suggestion also this might cause tension with prince william but one would hope that the two of them could get together and put together a real tribute to their

mother and given put together a real tribute to their motherand givena put together a real tribute to their mother and given a netflix audience of 192 million, that would have a huge world audience. very quickly, jo, huge world audience. very quickly, jo, skip to the front page of the sunday times and twitchy fingers. twitchy fingers, yes, something teachers have been facing as schools go back this week. all these kids that have been sitting at home for the last six months playing on consoles and playing with their games and things, they are finding it difficult to concentrate in class and lots of teachers quoted in this article are talking about them really having twitchy fingers, they can see the children moving their thumbs and fingers so they decided to ta ke thumbs and fingers so they decided to take them out, go for a walk on my run because they have been spending far too much time playing games and that means they have lost the ability, they are missing their

online communities and i don't mean communities like we are on zoom but the games they play and the pupils in the game. a nice variety of story. we have run out of time but we have another session at 11:30 p:m.. thank you for now and that is it for this session. now it is click.

lara, how are you? do you feel refreshed? i certainly do. it is weird going back to workjust involving a different bit of the house. how has your time of been? involving a different bit of the house. how has your time of beamm was quiet. didn't go away. usually i would have taken in a festival or two. in fact the edinburgh fringe festival is a big deal. i love seeing all the comedians trying out their new material. but you have been making up for it online.” their new material. but you have been making up for it online. i have been making up for it online. i have been going to quite a key virtual comedy gigs and this is the new wave comedians are getting themselves heard. give a massive cheer for the start of the show. drop into the online comedy club the kobe macro arms and you will find a host of stand—ups and while they do their gigs. stand—ups and while they do their gigs, the club has so far raised

£100,000 for charity. one of the things about lockdown is you know your kids a lot better because you are with them 24 hours a day, seven days a week. i need to give the teacher is a big present. but doing stand—up without being able to hear the audience is a tough game and you have to cross your routine carefully. new material is hard to do online without an audience because it is so symbiotic, because you are basically taking this precious butterfly of an idea and asking, is this rubbish? i think you need some kind of live audience if you are doing new material but if you are doing new material but if you are doing tried and trusted, you know where the fun is r. no point in saying anything amusing. comedy panel shows on tv and radio have also gone on air without an audience. and in many cases without audience. and in many cases without a studio. ijust realised i have

never been to your house. that's true. well, we will not invite you any time soon. because of the lockdown? sure. one of the first to try recording in lockdown were rachel parrish and fish cum are hoping theirjokes would hit home. ican i can tell the difference between my performances. when you have an audience, this light comes on. but now rachel and her husband marcus brookes. can hear the laughs again. you keep chatting and i will give it a go. we had a conversation, that is the most upstaging thing you could do. that has made it worse. this is

their weekly online show at the a lwa ys their weekly online show at the always be comedy club and it has a life front row. i think the front row we hear and see on these online gigs is only ten people and it makes such a huge difference, it changes the game completely. it means you can do yourjokes, with the correct timing. and as we had earlier a live audience is vital in helping comedians workshop new material. after a ll comedians workshop new material. after all barnstorming routines don't arrive fully formed. so i would be going out at least five nights a week to play tiny venues with a brand—new hour and they pay a very small amount of money. i suppose in a sense that is what the tuesday night abc show is stop £3 which we regret, that is a bit too low but it is £3 of us tumbling through a string of ideas. some of

which will turn into great and long lasting routines that we do for the next year. james gill is the mc and warm upfor next year. james gill is the mc and warm up for the couple and he has found there are certain hazards to having an audience who are live in their own living rooms. two of our regulars have a dog and so... again, you don't get this at the palladium. but a couple of times a comedian might be in the middle of a set and you can hear the dog barking. i know that tim, quick as a flash, is finding that box, clicking nude. this is a different world for comedians who are so used to a stage and little else and some are experimenting. harry hill hides in the edge of his webcam shots. al murray's pub landlord character now

preaches from a virtual beer cellar. and the virtual background video feature means stuart rules is sometimes upstaged by himself during his gig. different sources for different courses. and some comedians have gone even more interactive. beautiful, great. this is how monaco teaches improvisation in online lessons. she is also part ofan in online lessons. she is also part of an online improv show where the line—up react and improvise with each other remotely. it is a skill she says is useful in life and work as well as on stage. it is all of those key skills like listening, being able to be open to failure, listening to yourself and not judging yourself and also about playing and creativity. something i

find as an adult with condition ourselves out of. if a situation happened and all of a sudden it changes, that is not to panic inducing for you, it means whatever situation you are put into you were able to do with it. comedy clubs are now starting to reopen and the comedians i have spoken to are gagging to get back to them but online gigs mayjust stick around. one thing that has come out of this is when and if my tour comes back i will have a digital date on the tour. also it means anyone who wasn't able to get a baby—sitter that might or anxiety, gets to go and see it. if anyone can visit a gig anywhere in the world, it does cause a problem for comedians still honing their acts. you are blasting through material. when i do a talk

on the each night is special and you talk about where you are, broadly speaking i do the same show every time with stuffed special to that night. you can't do that online and therefore what you develop it can't get good in the same way. because you can't repeat it. but who knows, ita you can't repeat it. but who knows, it a new generation of live comics will be born out of this situation who can make the media work in new ways. after all, how many gigs have you been to that end like this? this is samsung ‘s third attempt at a folding phone and what a difference a year makes. compared to the original galaxy fold, almost everything has been improved apart from the name. this is the samsung galaxy z fold to 5g.

when the original went on sale in september 2019 it had a tiny screen on the outside, a huge camera inside and a metal finish that was a total fingerprint magnet. this time the outside screen is a sensible 6.2 inches, the inside bustled are reduced and the back is a pleasant matte finished. everything is so much more refined that it makes last year ‘s galaxy fold seen as a prototype which is partly why people say it is not always a good idea to be an early adopter. what are we supposed to use this for? evidently it combines the convenience of a phone with a screen the size of a ta blet phone with a screen the size of a tablet and some apps support flex mode which splits the display into so you mode which splits the display into so you can mode which splits the display into so you can watch youtube videos like this and in the camera you can take photos like this although i'm not exactly sure why you'd want to.

although with the external display you can use the phone as its own stand for video calls which is quite useful. i think it will be quite nice if you could keep it on your desk sideways to see notifications and calendar events although the lock screen is vertical only so it is not optimised for this and you get that feeling from a lot of apps. samsung acknowledges it needs more developers to modify the apps and in time it will improve but this disconnect extends to the operating system. you can put yourfavourite apps on the home screen, close the phone and they are gone because there are two independent home screens which makes sense but it's not how i expected it to work. the category of folding phones has put some excitement back into smartphones but it is difficult to say what will become the most popular format if any. companies are still figuring out what works best. samsung has its z flip instead still figuring out what works best. samsung has its zflip instead of expanding into a tablet, that is a regular phone that folds in half and the microsoft dua has two displays

but the screens don't fold. this latest effort from some song doesn't fold flat, there is still a gap which i expect they will change in the future. crucially unlike other flagship smartphones this isn't water or does a persistent and if people are spending £1800 on a phone, they don't want it to get broken by dust although if you're rich enough to spend that much on a phone, you can probably buy a second asa phone, you can probably buy a second as a spare. brilliant stuff. that was chris and thatisit brilliant stuff. that was chris and that is it for this short cut of click. the full—length version is waiting for you right now what my player. you can find a team on social media, youtube, instagram and facebook and twitter. to use in. goodbye.

hello. we have had some heavy showers, and particularly across northern ireland, scotland and northern england. more likely to be england and wales which sees the showers and looking drier in the north but most will have a dry day and we will see spots of sunshine. heavy showers around through the morning particularly northern england, the midlands. many of their having a dry day, spells of sunshine, lighter winds so should feel warmer with ties between 16-20 c feel warmer with ties between 16—20 c and then cloud and rain sta rts 16—20 c and then cloud and rain starts to push into the western side of scotla nd starts to push into the western side of scotland and northern ireland over night. slowly pushing its way eastwards and a fair amount of cloud arriving into northern england and wales. but we have the cloud and rain, temperatures in double figures but where we have clearer skies,

this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. our top story — the global struggle to stem the rise of coronavirus infections. france confirmed nearly 9000 cases on friday, 15% more than the previous record, set in march. in the uk, a warning that the country is at "a critical moment" in the pandemic as students prepare to return to universities. injerusalem, the volunteers who've recovered from covid and are now heading back in to hospital to help others do the same. also in the news, a seniorfigure in the belarussian opposition takes refuge in poland, saying she's been forced to choose
