for this headteacher, rapid test results mean keeping her school open. i love seeing children in school, and i love hearing them. i love hearing them learning, and so what i want is all the tools i can have to keep that going. i don't want to have to close the school, and i really don't want to have to ask children to learn from home again. research in schools across bristol will help everyone by mapping infections in one city. branwenjeffreys, bbc news, bristol. it will be a baptism of fire tomorrow for newly promoted leeds united, as the premier league season kicks off. their first game, against the champions, liverpool. here's our sports editor, dan roan. mcnab on the outside, he's round the back. once one of the country's most feared footballing forces, for many, the premier league has felt incomplete without leeds united, but now, after 16 years

featuring desperation, relegation and administration, one of the giants is back where it believes it belongs, having won the championship injuly. leeds—born kalvin phillips made his debut for england this week, but the midfielder told me that playing in the top flight is just as significant. it's massive, it's a dream come true for me but also for the city as well, you know. we've been through some tough years and now we are at the pinnacle, very high, and hopefully we can carry that on throughout the season. leeds‘ success has been masterminded by the genius of coaching maverick marcelo bielsa. the vastly experienced argentinian has earned legendary status in the city, the club today confirming he'd signed a new contract, to the delight of both the fans and his players. what makes the manager so special? he'sjust relentless, he's, like, just passionate about football. you know, you have a lot of managers that are passionate, but not to his level, you know, he lives and breathes football every single day. but this season kicks up as the last one ended, but this season kicks off as the last one ended,

behind closed doors. the premier league today writing to the government to express its concern over a potential delay to the partial reopening of grounds next month and postponing a programme of test events. leeds fans‘ long wait to watch top—flight football inside elland road continues. i have got a season ticket, so i'm gutted. i'm hoping that we can get back in there as soon as possible, just to cheer the lads on. people, funnily enough, are not too disappointed, they are just more excited about the idea of the whole country seeing how great we are. having waited so long to finally reach the premier league, the challenge facing these leeds united players now is to make sure they stay there. but their bid to do so gets off to the sternest of starts. tomorrow's opponents liverpool ended a long wait of their own last season, winning the title after 30 years in a campaign disrupted by a three—month suspension due to covid, and the manager is intent of keeping hold of it. on keeping hold of it. the title's out there, we attack them. we are all in the same position, we all start from the same position, nil games, nil points and now let's

go for it. unlike some of their rivals who have strengthened the summer, strengthened this summer, liverpool will begin their defence with largely the same team with which they dominated last season. unfamiliar financial constraints and stadia robbed of their atmospheres ensuring a start to a season like no other. dan roan, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night.

hello to viewers in the uk joining those around the world. it is not time to take a look at the national and international front papers time to take a look at the national and internationalfront papers in the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are former conservative adviser mo hussein and chief executive of the new economics foundation think tank, miatta fahnbulleh. tomorrow's front pages starting with. .. the ft focuses on tensions between the eu and uk over brexit.

it says the uk government was warned as early as january that the current agreement gave the eu control over most of its state aid policy after the end of the transition period. the telegraph features a piece from the uk prime minister, who accuses the eu of threatening to impose a food "blockade" in the irish sea. borisjohnson adds that this would destroy the "economic and territorial integrity of the uk". meanwhile the mirror leads on the rise of coronavirus cases in the uk — warning that other cities could face restrictions after birmingham. the times also looks at coronavirus in the uk, saying that borisjohnson, is drawing up plans to fine people who breach self—isolation rules. the is front page story reports on the british army preparing to help carry out mass vaccinations for coronavirus in the future — if a successful vaccine is achieved. the gulf news leads on the news that bahrain has normalised

relations with israel. and the front page of the international edition of the new york times features a picture of wildfires on the west coast of america. so, let's begin. sta rt start our work at the papers, thank you both forjoining me for supper let's begin with that story in the gulf news with bahrain israel normalising ties. this is a significant development, the statement released by israel, bob rain, and the us calling it a historic development. mo was start with you and your reaction to this story. i think this is good news. it follows on the heels of the uae doing something similar with israel and many years ago jordan and egypt. bahrain will not be the fourth country to normalise relations, and

the arab—israeli confidence exceeded my lifetime and i'm sure many people watching as well so anything that helps to move this forward is certainly a good thing and the more i think you can show what prosperity and economic benefits that are of reaching these arrangements, i think the better for people to see the difference it could make in their wives on the ground. it does leave the question of the israeli and palestinian conflict and you have seen cause for a fair and just solution for a resolution to that situation. that needs be progress and that will be doing me to end the arab—israeli conflict overall.l and that will be doing me to end the arab-israeli conflict overall. a bit more on that miatta because while we see coalescing with regard to these effo rts see coalescing with regard to these efforts by the us it does still drive a bigger wedge, doesn't it between israel and palestine in that

conflict? it does and you know president trump wants this to be pa rt president trump wants this to be part of his legacy, the fact that he was able to progress piece in the middle east and it is a significant department but the crux of the problem still remains, the long—standing tensions and conflicts and problems between israel and palestine. and the normalisation of relationships between israel and other air missions important but i think until you can find a resolution to the critical problem, it does not advance peace in the middle waste in a sustainable and long—lasting way —— peace in the middle east. there is a worry with the palestinians that the countries that should be their friends and allies are normalising relationships without asking for the resolution of the tensions and conflicts with palestine as a precondition for normalisation of relationships. we

are making baby steps but there is still a long way to go. certainly as you say, still a long way to go. let's look at the new york times. there is a very striking picture on the front page and of course this is of those fires that continue to rage. and they have actually got wind here that calls this a reckoning on climate change. miatta what was your reaction when you saw the pictures of these fires? the pictures are absolutely devastating. they are a really sobering terrifying reminder that climate change is here and it is absolutely catastrophic in its wake. we have been warned by the scientists for some time now that climate change is happening. we have been told that we've got ten years to take drastic action in order to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change and we are still moving too slowly. one of the big risks with covid and so

much attention having to be put towards dealing with this crisis, absolutely, is that we forget or d prioritise climate change. these fires are a reminder that we cannot do that because time is running out and there is an opportunity in the way we respond in particular the economic fallout from covid where governments must provide fiscal stimulus that we do it in a way that transitions our economy to a low carbon one facet that is the price of the get it right and we cannot miss that because the consequences, oui’ miss that because the consequences, our wives and are societies will be devastating for some we have seen in this time... countries jumping together to take action and take charge of an emergency but do you think climate change will be an emergency in the same way considering what is happening now in the united states? i think climate

change itself is an emergency but whether countries respond to it is to be seen. this will become an election—year issue in the us, these are powerful pictures that make you think what a year 2020 has been for some the key thing though is and you look at the other geopolitical issues around the world weather with china or russia, the key that these countries need to work together to tackle these big issues such as climate change, i was in government when we had the paris talks in 2015 and seeing everybody and seeing them agree to that was a real moment and everybody does need to come to the table to resolve these issues or whatever other issues we have with these other countries. let's turn to the ft with another picture of those fires in the us on the front page. it is such a striking

picture again, itjust gives you a sense of how severe the situation again but the story will talk about from this paper is on brexit and it says here that borisjohnson was warned on the brexit deal and that injanuary warned on the brexit deal and that in january there were warnings warned on the brexit deal and that injanuary there were warnings that this deal would leave brussels able to claim jurisdiction over large amounts of uk state aid policy, miatta. yes, apparently according to this report, officials made it absolutely clear to the prime minister that there was a provision within the withdrawal agreement that would allow the eu a significant amount of say for state aid policy in northern ireland which would have a knock on effect on state aid policy in the uk, and the truth is was the prime minister was so desperate to get that deal done and dusted, to get brexit done, to believe that those warnings clearly we re believe that those warnings clearly were not heeded and the withdrawal

agreement was rushed through despite parliament saying it needed time to be scrutinised, the government did not want to do that for political reasons and we now find ourselves in this bizarre situation where a government is looking to undermine an international treaty that it has signed up to. it is absolutely mortifying partly because it undermines our reputation and credibility internationally but more importantly when we are in the midst ofa importantly when we are in the midst of a really critical negotiation with the eu that will have an impact on our economics and our way of life for yea rs on our economics and our way of life for years to come to be engaging in such an inflammatory course of action seems to me to be completely reckless and it might seem like a negotiating tactic to them but to me it seems like a way to sever our relationship and move us towards no deal. boris johnson has been defending this in the daily telegraph if we turn to that, that

is our next paper. he has been saying that he never seriously believe that the eu would be willing to use a treaty negotiated in good faith to blockade one part of the uk. mo does thatjustify his action? i don't think it does. this is not an ancient text we are talking about, this is something the government agreed to a mere matter of months ago and i think the issues with the substance and with this timings were known and this is what caused the fall of theresa may pots and governments of these issues have been known for a while but i think the telegraph piece is interesting because this is a prime minister talking to the core conservative photo and to conservative mps and members of the house of lords, this is not about the old remain leave to fight, these are people who are brexiteers who are unhappy with this because of the uk's role in the world, questions about how we can hold to account other countries
