lamine diack, the ex—head of athletics' governing body, has been jailed after being found guilty of corruption. the sengelese faced corruption and money—laundering charges linked to the russian doping scandal. the british government has promised to do whatever it takes to boost laboratory capacity that has left many people with no way to get a covid—19 test. there is growing anger over a bottleneck in the testing system the us states of alabama, florida, and mississippi have declared states of emergency after hurricane sally battered coastal areas. experts at the national hurricane centre said the storm had caused catastrophic and historic flooding to the region. the uk's foreign secretary has told us congressional leaders that the "politicisation" of northern ireland issues by brussels in brexit trade talks is threatening the good friday agreement. it follows nancy pelosi's warning

that there would be no trade deal 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. great to have you both back for the second and slightly longer addition of the papers i am pleased to say. let's start with the daily mail — it leads with borisjohnson‘s admission, that the covid testing system cannot cope with current demand. "the tories aren't testing" — so says the mirror, as long queues form at walk—in centres. the telegraph claims officials are considering plans to ration coronavirus tests, which could even see people with symptoms being turned away. 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 express carries a pledge from borisjohnson, that his government will do everything in its power to avoid a second national lockdown. but the times warns that pubs and restaurants could face early closing times, as coronavirus cases soar. the newspaper also has a picture of the duke of edinburgh leaving balmoral, on his way to sandringham to spend two weeks with the queen there. so let's begin. tim and nigel, really great to have you both with us. we will start with the daily mail like so many of the papers focusing on the situation with testing. nigel, the daily mirror not being straight with its words, boris, we have failed. the paper says it was running five months ago that the crisis in terms of testing was looming. that's

right. something that these stages scientists were talking about, and this is from the beginning of the pandemic. the world health organisation kept ramming it home. they said test, test, test. countries that have done better than us countries that have done better than us like germany with a population of 23 million more than we have got, they've got fewer deaths and infections, because of a proper testing programme. we were promised matt hancock's tracing out, it did not happen. we've been promised a proper testing regime across the country. did not happen. boris johnson talks about a moonshot and now admits that technology does not exist. and there will be a problem doing it. all the way through we've never got a handle on the one thing that could have kept this pandemic down and that was adequate testing.

and when the papers are describing how the prime minister was asked about testing, he had had pm queues today and questioned by politicians as well, he was asked whether enough tests were available, and his answer was very simple. very short. tim, apologies. yes, i think the good thing about the situation is the prime minister is finally admitting the scale of the problem. i think up until now there's been too much attempt by the government to protect everything and pretend it's ok. there is teething problems with the system. they state government is wanting to do grand things and have a world beating system, talked about the moonshot idea for mass testing

next year. and theyjust have not done well enough at getting the basics done. and we always use the word crisis to describe things that go wrong, but with our this we our initially on the eve of a very big crisis. if we cannot get this working properly can we have a situation in schools where 25,000 teachers cannot get into the classroom to teach our young people because they are not getting testing quickly enough. if this does not work and it looks like it's not working properly, there a real danger of major economic and social problems as we go into the winter months were as we know the virus is likely to make something of a comeback. still in the autumn at the moment. we're looking at the daily

mirror next, is it possible for a picture to be scathing? just explain what this image is and it's difficult to see the little picture at the bottom but this is a real play on images, notjust to play on words, but a play on images going on in the daily mirror. it comes courtesy of the labour mp liam byrne, who is our whittier politicians, and he tweeted out the slogan tories aren't testing and it's a take on the long dull queue with labour isn't working. every effective poster that was in the 70s. when you put the long dull queue and people waiting to get testing you get a great image about what the current problem is. people have to queue up for tests, being sent hundreds of miles to go and get

them, it shows what a complete mess them, it shows what a complete mess the whole thing is. and quite a clever play on images. the daily telegraph is talking about, again, all the papers focusing on this testing situation, it's talking about only a select few to get rationed covid tests with the priority going to hospitals and care homes meeting that as the paper picks up on those with symptoms could even miss out. unfortunately because we don't seem to have the capacity in the test and tracing syste m capacity in the test and tracing system we are going to have to look at rationing, and i think at least the government is now being honest. i think one of the things that they perhaps need to do more of is sit down almost with a fireside chat

style with the nation and explain the problems that they are experiencing. and involve all of us in finding ways of putting it right. at the moment they are too ready, i think, the government come out to pretend every is working. and did not problems. the british people are not problems. the british people are not unreasonable, they know we are facing an epidemic of unprecedented proportions. it was always going to stretch the national health service and/or other public services. at the government pretending everything is under control makes the public executor it doesn't actually make exasperated. if we need to ration it for a couple of months until the problems are put right i'm sure we will be patient. will the northeast be patient? the telegraph also picking up on a story that we have been picking up on today at the bbc, the northeast could come is looking to be the next area in england to come under local restrictions as

cases arise. and we are talking about these local restrictions but the northeast, it's a large area amongst others to go back into lockdown. we are going to see an awful lot more of this, localised lockdowns. anything to prevent a national lockdown. i think tim is right. the key here is being honest with people and if you think back to the beginning of the pandemic we we re the beginning of the pandemic we were told to lock completely, not leave our homes, only for essential things like shopping and for an hour's exercise, the nation accepted that. there was no problem with that. there was no problem with that. it's the subsequent mixed messaging and promises of things that don't happen, and the problem with the whole testing thing is that what the public need is to have some confidence in the leadership of the country to get us out of this. when

they are not being honest with us that confidence is not fair. that's exactly what boris johnson has that confidence is not fair. that's exactly what borisjohnson has got to get back to. the only way of doing that is to level with people. we know lockdown works, know the local lockdowns will probably work too. focusing on schools, ballistic what they are saying, schools will close without virus tests. we've been hearing today from teaching staff where schools of over a thousand pupils getting ten tests. with the is that teachers are warning this is an impossible situation. this is very depressing. i'm worried about covid, we are all worried about covid but there's been such a focus on this epidemic that we have neglected other things like the fact that a generation of school

children, particularly some of the most disadvantaged schoolchildren, have missed a large number of teaching. cancer diagnosis, there's other things that have not been done because of our focus on covid. and we've got schools back, there was a real big achievement and lots of doubt of whether it could happen but most children are now in the classroom learning again. but that's all at jeopardy classroom learning again. but that's all atjeopardy if we classroom learning again. but that's all at jeopardy if we don't classroom learning again. but that's all atjeopardy if we don't have the teachers they are teaching the children. if they can't get tested quickly to know whether they have the virus, then we are going to have classes emptying again. so the story of 25,000 teachers out of action because of the slowness of the testing and tracing that we are seeing in the system is really very depressing. the guardian is quoting the 25,000 teachers, and that's according to research. it really

does hit home when you hear that kind of figure, but when it comes to the story on the guardian that i wa nt to the story on the guardian that i want to focus on, which is moving away from coronavirus for the time being and for the testing situation. the paper is saying that boris johnson has moved ahead of a tory revolt over the bill, is the internal market bill. the paper is saying that the prime minister was forced into an embarrassing climb—down by conservative rebels last night. was it embarrassing or has he got an agreement, talk us through what has happened, because it's been a busy day when it comes to the brexit news today. it's been a busy day. i can understand, he could see this one coming in like so much else that he's got wrong, whether it's the a—level results, the school meal through the summer, all avoidable mistakes. this was yet

another avoidable mistake. it was quite clear mps were furious about the internal market bill, furious about the idea that we were going to breach our treaty obligations, and although the parliamentary lock that he's now agreed to, that some of the rebels were demanding, and probably won't change anything because it's got such a huge majority, but at least it will stay in stave off a rebellion. he could have done that a couple of days ago. just curious as to why he does not do it. doesn't ta ke to why he does not do it. doesn't take away the main problem, we've had the eu commission president saying today that is the question of trust and law, and basically the eu won't put up with us breaching our withdrawal agreement deal. the problem is still there, but at least he's actually staved off a backbench rebellion. what do you make of it,

tim, what is your perspective? rebellion. what do you make of it, tim, what is your perspective7m quite related to the conversation we have just been having about covid. as you introduce me. iwas have just been having about covid. as you introduce me. i was a former adviser to the prime minister, and i left downing street earlier this year because ijust felt there was such a centralisation of power, very few people making decisions, very few people making decisions, very few opinions consulted. a lot of it comes from the general election victory last december. arrogance, i think that victory went to the head of some people around borisjohnson. they just of some people around borisjohnson. theyjust stopped consulting and listening to people, they stop seeking advice from other sources of wisdom whether its former leaders, backbench mps, even the newspapers which is think the daily mail has become so critical of the government. they got to stop being

quite so full of themselves, and got to start being a much more collegiate downing street if some of the problems we have been talking about tonight are not going to be repeated again and again. strong words there. is he not getting anything right? look at some of the economic measures that have been introduced by the government. i think the furlough scheme, generally it's well beaten to use that expression. this questions of how long that continues. but i think the chancellor has been a standout success. chancellor has been a standout success. the government is also absolutely doing certain things right, the universal credit benefit that was controversial has taken millions of people into its system and work. we are not talking about that. as inevitably we do on news programmes we focus on the negative, but unfortunately there's quite a

lot of negative to talk about. of course the chancellor we're looking at coronavirus, it's a cu rfew for restau ra nts a nd looking at coronavirus, it's a curfew for restaurants and pubs to tackle the virus. so which particular, what is the come up which aspect is that focusing on forests ? which aspect is that focusing on forests? which is arguing we are going to see more of it. i think we have to think of in terms of the kind of restrictions that we are going to face coming in stages, so whereas before lockdown, i mean no a national lockdown will be a last resort. so we can expect is that if they increase at the moment we can have growing restrictions on that. the next stage is going to be cu rfews,

the next stage is going to be curfews, so the next stage is going to be cu rfews, so want the next stage is going to be curfews, so want to build to go out to the public for up till ten o'clock at night. that's what happened in bolton. there's the next stage. at the moment that boris johnson wants to do absolutely everything that will avoid another actual national lockdown. that's echoed in the daily express, quoted as saying i will stop at nothing to avoid a second lockdown. saying that he has vowed to his government he will do everything in his power to avoid exactly that. we are hearing of these different measures that he's putting forward. of these different measures that he's putting forwardlj of these different measures that he's putting forward. i think he's absolutely right to want to avoid another lockdown. lots of people watching this programme tonight that are waiting for important operations than are in a lot of pain because of

those operations. bed figures last week that we said we had record levels of waiting times now for all sorts of surgeries. people are not going to hospitals and that could be a major problem. cancer is not being diagnosed. a second lockdown will mean that these problems draw any significance would be multiplied. so yes absolutely we have to avoid a second lockdown, and if that means we can't go to the pub after 9pm or 10pm and that's the price worth paying. we have to for the sake of the economy and the wider health for the economy and the wider health for the teacher of our children. a second lockdown must be avoided.

ultimately this all comes back to needing a good testing system, and a good track entry system. . yes that's right. as bits of the country where it's actually working. but it cost a lot of money and they have to actually do it on a very localised basis where a test and tracker will actually come to your home if you a nswer actually come to your home if you answer the phone call. that should be something that's happening nationally, but to achieve it you had to have started several months ago and really when the warnings came out from sage, when the whole thing was about testing that was the point we should have gotten our act together to make sure everything was in place. we always knew there was the danger of a second wave. on that note we are going to end it there. as always nigel and tim thank you so much forjoining me and we will get

more details when it comes to the northeast on thursday, but for the time being great to have you here on this edition of the papers, and i a lwa ys this edition of the papers, and i always say this but if you would like to make any comments on social media is lots of different forms of social media, but on twitter this is the hashtag. thanks forjoining me. hello, i'm jane dougall and this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. disappointing day for england with a series victory for the visitors. anger cannot have gotten off to a worse start. jason roy and joe roots both dismissed by the ball. some brilliant batting did help england

recover. he made 112. and then it was australia that looks to be struggling as they also lost quick wickets including two forjoe roots. and then actually it was steered into a nervy victory with winning just two balls to spare. that match took place in the secure bubble of old trafford. along with southampton posted all of the international matches the summer. he feels it's imperative the crowds are allowed to return as quickly as possible. we kind of except where we are this season but for us it's actually important for next season potentially we've got a couple of things in the pipeline, and india text to match, a pakistan match, we

missed having the fans, and i think i can't, overstate the importance thatis i can't, overstate the importance that is being able to have a full stadium for concerts and for all roses t20 match, and india test to match those things are massively important. coped with it this year, cope is the word, when you start getting into a second year it becomes incredibly challenging not just for us but for others as well. after 146 years medical field town are no more. debts are linked more than half £1 million. a request for an adjournment to allow a sale was refused the judge saying that the order had been given ample time to pay creditors. there were due to play in the national league of the fifth year of english football after being relegated last season. this is the cloud that's been in the heart

of its community for so long. first formed in the 1870s and since getting into the football league for the first time in the 1990s has really punched above its way to come up really punched above its way to come up at the outlook really does look bleak now after this winding up order in the high court over unpaid debts of half £1 million. the judge said the owner had had plenty of time to pay creditors as well. the club will have a few days to appeal or pay out this debt but make no mistake this is the club very much on the brink. suffered city lost 3—0 to everton. —— salford city. elsewhere west brom are three heavens are winners over harrogate town. this goalfrom callum robinson

means they book their place in the third round. don't forget you can find all of tonight's results on the bbc sport website. in scotland despite missing a penalty and going behind after three minutes subject came back to win. goals from duffy and forrest won the match. time to ta ke and forrest won the match. time to take a look at the other sports stories. aston villa have signed a new goalkeeper from arsenal. paid £17 million from the argentine. finished his career in north london by winning the fa cup and community shield. novak djokovic play for the first time since his disqualification from the us open in the third round of the italian open. he built the italian wild card to progress comfortably in rome. and

anthonyjoshua popular promoter such as world heavyweight fight against 2—level live will not be postponed again. he says it will go ahead even if it is behind closed doors. up to stage 17 of the tour de france, and come to the hardest test so far. expending his lead to 57 seconds. drew savage watch the action on the steepest stage of the race. friends but also revels. this two slovenian sort away from everyone so far, but today would have to climb higher than ever. richard is based to raise the spirits of the grenadier since he broke away. the british team struggled. on the cot in the closing stages. adam yates is still hunting for a stage win was up there but quite match the leaders, he is still overall. everyone expected them to

fight it out on the steepest climb of the whole race. but an unexpected extra dimension. the colombian, lopez, fought away this morning. the brilliant win but ran out of roads to catch the overall standings. the final climb it could be a decisive blow. the yellow jersey final climb it could be a decisive blow. the yellowjersey literally disappearing. may be as close as anyone gets. meanwhile stage six ten 28 brush finished. hannah burns settled for second place. mariana of the netherlands is hard to be on the top form. she leads by nearly two. that's all the support for now goodbye.

hello there. it will be a notably fresher start to the day, particularly across the southern half of the uk because the transition was taking place further north yesterday. but there will still be plenty of dry weather on offer, some good spells of sunshine will break for the cloud and make it feel pleasantly warm. we have seen the transition as we come behind this cold front through yesterday and overnight to slightly fresher air back to where we should be for the time of year. quite a brisk easterly wind blowing in the south. always a little bit more cloud close to the north of scotland with this weather front, and there could be some patchy fog elsewhere first thing, the first couple of hours after dawn there could be some dense patches, but then it clears the way. as should the low cloud near the north sea coast, and the misty low cloud we have had in southern and western areas for the last couple of days. the exception really to seeing that sunshine for most is the north and east of scotland. and where the return of the sunshine elsewhere in scotland and northern england i think it will feel warmer than it did yesterday, but at 27 we had in the south not being repeated. more than 21, 22 which is where

we should be for this time of year. and so under the clearest skies again through the coming night it's going to turn quite cool, and yes again the exception being northern scotland where we have those weather fronts close by. down into single figures quite widely in the countryside setting us up for another date with perhaps some patchy mist and fog again first thing. risk wind in the south, but otherwise some good spells of sunshine. and even north as that weather front weekends at times it will be bright. 19 to 21 around about average for this time of year. and we keep that high—pressure close by into the weekend particularly in the north. but this low pressure in the bay of biscay is giving us a little bit of a headache because it comes northwards it is likely to tighten the isobars. the winds will strengthen again, and possibly it's going to bring some showers close to southern parts of england in particular. so a keen breeze coming off the north sea which will make it feel cooler. some low cloud as well playing the north sea coast. so here temperatures will be as high, but 19 to 22 further west. and then just the possibility of some showers, the question is how

far north they will come into the southern half of the uk. they are still meandering around the area of low pressure into sunday as well. with that breeze coming off the north sea also risk a little bit more cloud around here, but still a good deal of dry and settled weather with high pressure largely in charge for the north. as ever, there is more on the website.
