11:30 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rachel cunliffe — comment & features editor at city am and george eaton — senior online editor at the new statesman. welcome to you both. tomorrow's front pages. starting with. .. the telegraph says the government is encouraging people to report neighbours who do not self—isolate after testing positive for coronavirus — it also has a picture from the one minute silence held at east grinstead rugby club today to remember the murdered police sergeant matt ratana who was their head coach. the metro leads with growing calls for borisjohnson to reconsider the 10pm pub curfew — with some tory mps calling it a ‘draconian‘ use of power.
11:31 pm
the ft headlines donald trump saying the affordable care act in the us, known as obamaca re, will be terminated — a day after announcing amy coney barrett as his nomination for the supreme court. the i says the roll—out of the uk's coronavirus vaccine potentially faces years of delay. the mail says police will carry out spot checks and act on tip offs to ensure people are adhering to new covid—19 self—isolation rules. the times headlines ministers preparing to enforce a social lockdown across the north of england and potentially london to combat the second wave of coronavirus. and the guardian leads with world leaders — including boris johnson — pledging to clamp down on pollution and plastic waste in order to halt the climate crisis. so let's begin... this time with the times. it brightest to lock down plan to ban
11:32 pm
socialising. indoor meetings could be curbed in some places, george. yes. so there have been rumoured for some time i whether the uk would be forced to go further and the time is now reporting proposals to close pubs and restaurants and to ban socialising with one household. we have already seen a ban on socialising introduced in scotland and the question is not whether the existing restrictions that the government introduced will prove insufficient and whether it would be prepared to introduce this. i think a second lockdown would be much more florid than the first one and that is partly because the economic climate is much worse in terms of the furlough scheme coming to a end at the end of october. they are replacing it, rishi sunak is not...
11:33 pm
i also think that there was a sense that the first lockdown was designed to give the government breathing space and to enable the introduction ofa space and to enable the introduction of a successful track and trace system f a second lockdown which is what it would be seen as proof necessary , what it would be seen as proof necessary, then i think it would be much more difficult but it is worth worth noting that polls showed high support for the restrictions the government is introducing such as the iopm curfew and the public unsurprisingly because the uk did after a ll unsurprisingly because the uk did after all suffer the highest number of excess test of any european country are very wary of about covid—i9 death returning to anything like the numbers we saw earlier this year. on the daily mail, we are told police will start corona spot checks and people could face some fairly hefty finds. yes, find starting at
11:34 pm
£1000 if you break quarantine or if you had a positive test and crucially if you have been contacted by the nhs test and trace service which means that somebody could say they have come into contact with you in force you into quarantine and isolation whether or not they actually have. with neighbour is encouraged to report on people and to tip off the police and those louis de zoysa three increasing up to £10,000. -- louis de zoysa three increasing up to £10,000. —— those fines increasing. i think george's right to mention the polls but let's also remember what that might be widespread support for these measures when people are in the polls they revealed preferences how much they are actually adhering to the guidance is a little bit more relaxed and people taking a lot of common sense approach and sticking to the spirits of the roles of not necessarily the latter which is what the government told us to do. if you ask people argue in favour of this restriction if it will save lives they are likely to say yes to a
11:35 pm
poster or whatever not they actually would adhere to it. i think right and a second lockdown would not be met with the same public flexibility and acceptance of the first. i really think there was this understanding that we were going through this unprecedented experience in order to get the government time to get a proper testing system in place which looks like we had at various points over the summerand then like we had at various points over the summer and then the testing syste m the summer and then the testing system could handle the idea of children are back to school and people going back to the offices so i think there is a sense that the government is not upheld as end of the bargain and certainly if you think of the language being used to describe dominic cummings and his trip up north where borisjohnson said he acted with legally responsibly and with integrity mention that and were £2000 fines for breaking quarantine at the other really match up. we can't keep using the word and present any more. the guardian story, help say students
11:36 pm
trapped in all the residents. these are students that manchester met university who have been told to stay indoors and security guards to keep them there. yes. it is a rather dystopian scene particularly when it is juxtaposed with the 9000 pounds a year the students are paying which remained the highest public university fees and the developed world. and some would have said that it is not great value for money to begin with. but with this, it has become a kind of crueljoke and also alarming and there were some other science displayed by students, i think one was nine k for what and a p pa re ntly think one was nine k for what and apparently they were ordered by the university to take those down, which given that education is supposedly all about the free exchange of ideas is also an alarming trend, so it really does appear as if the stu d e nts really does appear as if the students are being treated as
11:37 pm
second—class citizens with few if any rights. the labour hazards the government to stop the return of stu d e nts to government to stop the return of students to campuses. —— labour has urged the government. until all stu d e nts urged the government. until all students can be guaranteed a test. and obviously, that is not an ideal solution either. but it does appear a farcical scene when students who are meant to be at the start of one of the greatest expenses of the life are literally imprisoned in halls of residence. a real live uk vaccine faces yea rs residence. a real live uk vaccine faces years of delay and even when they get there will be undertaking. —— a roll—out of the uk vaccine. they get there will be undertaking. —— a roll—out of the uk vaccinelj will —— a roll—out of the uk vaccine.” will come to that woman. i want to give a message to any students who are locked in their residence. that's come to that in a moment. there is no legal come a very dubious legal basis for holding them
11:38 pm
there. if they leave, they can suddenly challenge that expulsion in the way those rules have been a force. but also remember, your consumers. universities across the country are in dire financial straits, take your customs and fees elsewhere to university that that's not treat you like a second—class citizen and short set. let me just say manchester men say they are making sure that all of their stu d e nts making sure that all of their students are in this position. 1700 of them are being supportive. —— manchester met university. and they are being given food parcels to make sure nobody is going without food. they have said they cannot insist that people stay and they are just requesting that they do. so the vaccine just briefly. we will be running at a time. mass vaccination programmes turned out not that straightforward a logistical challenge come as government putting in place a procedure necessary? isn't ordering the kit that it needs. we saw the shortages of masking ppe. is it doing the things
11:39 pm
they need for when a vaccine exists we can have that mass national vaccination effort. no it is not. it is not talking to the right people are prepared and that is really whirring in terms of getting the population back even if there is a breakthrough. that's really whirring. the next one is away from carina roberts. looking at the brexit talks, a couple of stories here. —— away from the virus. project teams a race against time and straight talks into the final straight come all that positioning and posturing, is that all it was? they are now starting to sound a lot more optimistic that they can find a deal. of course we have been here before. many viewers will remember last year when they were expecting a no—deal brexit and borisjohnson ended up securing the deal even if he now appears to have reneged on key parts of that. i think it is true that both the uk and the eu have both their preferences has
11:40 pm
a lwa ys have both their preferences has always been for a deal, both recognise that the cost of no deal to both sides would be far greater than any concessions they have to make to secure a trade deal, but i also think that borisjohnson is prepared to accept a no deal. i gingerly think, i don't think he is bluffing. i don't think it is really ata bluffing. i don't think it is really at a negotiating play but there are others in the government, you can imagine the rishi sunak is among them who recognise that the disruption that no deal would cause, potential english trafficjams of lorries and food supplies and impaired, combined with a pandemic, economic crisis, and jobs crisis, a no—deal brexit thrown into that toxic combination could be very politically damaging for the government. i think all of the incentives are for a deal, but i don't think one can say with any
11:41 pm
certainty whether a deal will be done, what is certainly true is if a deal is to be done, it really has to be done by next month because european parliaments while have to ratify this deal and the european side has been clear all along that this is not something that can just be done in the matter of a few weeks, that a trade deal of this nature needs proper scrutiny. the daily mirror looking ahead with the alarm to the idea of a franking food influx of hormone treated meat, rachel, singh banned this helpmeet from the uk. this could be coming oui’ from the uk. this could be coming our way from the uk. this could be coming ourway in from the uk. this could be coming our way in the event of a us trade deal. interesting. the mirror is backing this up at the spread of the us election how they will do lots of deep dives into election issues. but this is a brexit story. it is all about what a free trade deal with the us would look like and what the food standards would look like and they have sent reporters to cattle
11:42 pm
farms in the us where we know the conditions there are appalling. we just don't like to think about it. we don't like to think about anybody who has been to the us and any food there. read the details but not read them over anything that you are yourself might be eating. what is interesting is that that the coalition of people who are colic of the conservatives and on boris johnson to make sure these products do not enter uk supermarkets and restaurants goes from the farming stronghold on her way through to jamie oliver and joe wicks who became a national hero during lockdown. broad coalition of people from different political opinions and parts of the political spectrum say don't let it come here, don't force this. others might argue that the supermarkets can choose not to stock it and restaurants can choose.
11:43 pm
consumers can choose not to buy it. and it might be cheaper than the food where you stew but certainly it makes quite horrifying reading. if it is properly labelled. then you can make it hard. let's get a comment on this guardian top story. world leaders back ten point place to halt the destruction of planet earth. why will this make any difference now? we find years to sources? it is a good question. i think that quite a lot of people are tired of hearing about leaders citing up to pledges and lofty goals, and not always delivering on them. as you said, if the world is serious about tackling the climate crisis, much more already needs to be done to reduce emissions. the uk has better records than some countries, and renewable energy has been a quiet try ferry, where it is 110w been a quiet try ferry, where it is now being delivered on a scale that many didn't think it previously possible. —— quiet triumph here. the
11:44 pm
uk has previously missed targets and other decades under the paris climate change agreement. so i think we should treat the news that the uk along has signed up to yet another set of environmental pleasures with some skepticism. and obviously this welcome this issue is receiving the attention it deserves, not least because scientist will tell you that the climate crisis makes the threat of future pandemics far greater. for instance, before station in southeast asia is estimated to lead to the migration of 99% of us that population. —— deforestation. by 2050. what we are living through at the moment is a symptom of the climate crisis. in all the them are written to address it. very quick, rachel. not just about stopping the decline. it is about reversing it. about reversing it and investing in technology and i think maybe there might be slightly more appetite for
11:45 pm
this now partly because the risk of the pandemic at but also partly because we've experienced empty rows and got used to walking and cycling and got used to walking and cycling and we seeing clear reveries in place like venice and have seen how quickly things can go back to a form of normal life. —— a clear rivers and places. that puts real power behind this time i hope. lovely to have you both again. thank you very much. that's it for the papers. coming up next, it is the film review. good night. hello and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode, rounding up the best movies available for viewing
