first reached europe, thousands have been left homeless after the moria refugee camp burned down. hello. her own parents are still marooned in turkey. a weekly video call unites those that have made it to germany and those still waiting. mwah! i guess the part that breaks my heart the most is that they don't get to see my life here, so they don't get to see me go to school and have a productive life, and see me moving forward with my future. but that might change soon, nujeen hopes, so that her parents can see the life she's building, with courage and grace. fergal keane, bbc news, cologne. the men's international cricket season has come to a close today, with england suffering a narrow series defeat to australia at old trafford. but there's been a warning that the game will find another season without

fans exceptionally challenging. our sports correspondent andy swiss has more details. commentator: it's australia's game! it wasn't the ending england wanted but a memorable finish to this strangest of cricketing summers, the last of 18 matches with not a spectator in sight. logistically it has been a success but financially the sport lost £100 million and it's fearful for the future. we have coped with it this year and cope is the word. when you start getting into a second year, it becomes incredibly and extraordinarily challenging. well, the venues might have been sterile this summer but england's cricket has been anything but. thrilling test match triumphs over the west indies and pakistan and now today, the final challenge. beat australia and they'd win their one—day series. england's batsmen were soon blazing away, sam billings clobbering it over the car park. fetch that! and australia fetched it a lot.

jonny bairstow‘s swashbuckling century setting them a hefty target of 303. it soon looked nigh on impossible. australia reduced to 73—5, but then the turning point. england thought they had another wicket butjofra archer had overstepped and how australia made him pay. as glenn maxwell and alex carey set about battering the grandstands and england's hopes. both hit hundreds, but when mark wood took a remarkable catch to dismiss alex carey, australia still needed ten off the final over. they got home, though, with two balls to spare. a cricketing summer which promised so little has certainly delivered drama. andy swiss, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night.
10:35 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are, former adviser to borisjohnson and the founder of conservative home, tim montgomerie, and nigel nelson, political editor at sunday mirror and sunday people. let's start with the uk's daily mail — it leads with the prime minister boris johnson's admission, that the covid testing system cannot cope with current demand. the telegraph claims uk officials are considering plans to ration coronavirus tests, which could even see people with symptoms being turned away.
10:36 pm
the row over testing makes the front page of the guardian too. the newspaper says thousands of teachers in england have been forced into self—isolation, due to a shortage of coronavirus tests. the new york times reports on a continuing patriarchal work culture in japan, despite pledges that have been made to help empower women. according to the times, pubs and restaurants around the uk could face early closing times, as coronavirus cases soar. and in singapore, all adults are to receive $100 each to spend on staycations, local tours and attractions — in a bid to stimulate the economy. so, let's begin. starting our with the daily telegraph. 0nce again, a difficult story. the front
10:37 pm
page there with the image of people trying to reach the uk. let's start with you because this is, we are seeing more and more of these pictures in september has become the busiest month on record and we're only talking, we are only in the middle of september. that is right and good weather makes the whole thing an awful lot worse. because they feel that it is safer to make they feel that it is safer to make the crossing. couple that with their fears about breaks it, because they are worried that the end of the year, there won't be any chance of joining relatives over here some of these people could be legal migrants but, of course, they are now in the hands of people smugglers. with the story is saying that the first of a journalist is seen as the french
10:38 pm
turned back when they see a small boat and their waters, this contains 16 afghanistan refugees. the french we re 16 afghanistan refugees. the french were happy to give them life jackets, bottled water if this report is correct and let them select british waters. we heard this is happening and this is actually independent confirmation that it really is. what is your take on this, following what nigel was saying that this is the confirmation of this, the first time it is been seen in. what he has fastened on his theissue seen in. what he has fastened on his the issue here in the story will get a lot of follow—up in the british media tomorrow and there has been the suspicion from british conservatives and other people wanting a hard line on border control that france is not doing
10:39 pm
enough to keep migrants from leaving but when they are in the channel, they are actually coaxed into british waters so it is no longer a french problem and so the home secretary will have some tough words for her french opposite numbers tomorrow and finally, we will have proof of something that lots of people have long suspected that the french really are not doing their bit to help address this very serious problem. jamie johnson with the report from the daily telegraph and you're absolutely right, will expect more about this later on tomorrow. focusing on this again, the other headline to get covid—19 tests. we have been hearing so much about the difficulty for people to get these tests the telegraph now
10:40 pm
focusing on the priority for hospitals and care homes means that even though some symptoms may miss out. yes, probably about time the borisjohnson stopped talking about world beating this in world leading that. and recognise that this is a com plete that. and recognise that this is a complete mess and he is talking about a moonshot now of getting a million tests and we do not even have the technology for that. so, today the house of commons liaison, he was saying that they're going to work night and day to try to get 500,000 tenants and i think will be actually want is some kind of competence at moment and let's get the testing system working properly, which it clearly is not. my local testing centre has just been closed down to be turned into a brexit park, and the real emergency is
10:41 pm
covid—19 at the moment and what we've got to do is try to stave off the second wave that is getting increasingly likely to hit us. tim, are guests, the phrase world beauty testing scheme that he initially described, do you think there will be regret for the choice of words. there must be regret but i've been very critical of the governments handling of this whole test in tracing business and i would concede because of up of the prime minister showed some more realism in the last 24 hours than he has previously and it was certainly downplaying his moonshot idea this time. he was admitting that there are real problems and i think that is with the british people want now. they do not want something very special. they don't want the best system in the world. theyjust want something that will allow for tests to come
10:42 pm
back to them and 24 hours so they can travel to a location that is not far away and also, that it underlines the confidence that they can have in the schools. it has been very good to see schools go back in the last couple of weeks and we need to get our children learning again but the guardian newspaper is saying that up to 25,000 teachers might not be able to be in the classroom at the moment because of the long delays for their own covid—19 tests. we can't have for afford to have that many teachers not available to us that many teachers not available to us simply because the testing tracking system is not working. let's have a look at the guardian from page. looking into that, 25,000 teachers, the other thing that the guardian picks up on is some private schools paying £120 to symptomatic
10:43 pm
stu d e nts schools paying £120 to symptomatic students and teachers after they we re students and teachers after they were not able to secure test locally. is this the kind of route that were going down now? schools being unable to afford it. and as we know, home testing kits now, even they are in short supply and if you can get one, have to wait about five days before he could result back. and if schools can't get any tests and the other way, the only other option is to try to buy them, but the kind of figures of the guardian comes out with today are really working on the basis that 740 schools are now either closed or partially closed and again, we've really got to get a grip of the soul testing issue and it is something that sage warned about back in may and they drew a graph of what would happen once we lifted locked down in
10:44 pm
the graph looks exactly like it does i'iow the graph looks exactly like it does now with cases going up and what they said then was, that you would have a straight line, not one that was rising, if you had testing in place. so this government knew back in may, that is what they needed to do, as they lifted restrictions. and we are all needing tests until a vaccine is created and a good vaccine is created and a good vaccine can be used, a business standard, let's have a look at the front page because it was talking about a covid—19 vaccine that sees its launch in india and the name is, of course it is sputnik and tell us more about this particular vaccine. iam afraid i am afraid i am talking to you from the city of salisbury, which you
10:45 pm
probably know is where russia attempted to poison a former spy of theirs and i am afraid that i am, i ta ke theirs and i am afraid that i am, i take a very suspicious view of anything that russia says and i am so anything that russia says and i am so farfrom anything that russia says and i am so far from convinced that this vaccine is real and we had that report two or three weeks ago that they were reading british and american labs to steal vaccine secrets. so let us not give russia too much credibility on this issue but i think of the wider point is that russia operating with india and there is the science of course of finding a vaccine, but there is the geopolitics. who gets vaccines first and if that country like russia or china or a country with the poor democratic record gets a vaccine for us, are they going to share it with a country that does them favours or
