announcing new measures to ensure what it called a more orderly discussion in the two remaining debates between donald trump and joe biden. tuesday's debate became mired in bitter exchanges. the united kingdom is now said to be at a ‘critical moment‘ in the battle against coronavirus. as more regions get used to tougher restrictions , the prime minister has warned that he'll go further if people don't comply. azerbaijan is refusing to end its military operations against armenia as it demands full control of the nagorno—karabakh region. the territory has been controlled by armenian separatists for nearly 30 years. there've been protests in india after police cremated the body of a 19—year—old victim of a gang rape.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. to what the the papers will be with me are political strategist jo tanner, and author and journalist rachel shabi. great to have you both along for the second edition, the bit longer, so little bit more time this time. so let's start with the friend pages we have already. the daily telegraph — says the prime minister has defied calls for an easing of covid restrictions, insisting that the only way to tackle the virus is to maintain a tough stance. the same story is on the front page of the financial times. the newspaper says borisjohnson warned he won't hesitate to take further measures, if needed. the i claims a new three—tier system, to simplify the covid rules, is being considered by number 10. the guardian says it has seen documents that

suggest downing street is considering sending asylum seekers to moldova, morocco or papua new guinea. according to the times, ministers are considering holding asylum seekers on disused ships off the coast. the newspaper also carries a picture of the first television debate between donald trump and joe biden. and the mirror asks when boris johnson's father is getting fined — after stanley johnson was seen shopping without a mask. so, some of the front pages, lots to discuss. let's begin. as always, thanks very much forjoining us. joe, racial —— jo, much forjoining us. joe, racial —— jo, rachel, we are going to kick off with the express which is covering jo, with the express which is covering jo, a lot of the what has been happening today, and it's quite a catchy front page, wake up, we are going in the wrong direction. this follows the pm cues today, and also

the debate that the briefing that we sort of forgotten about a little bit, but that sort of coming back may be more increasingly in fact, but we are going in the wrong direction, and borisjohnson is urging us to stick together, says the paper. yeah, it's kind of an interesting, isn't it? because the front page of the express has got this picture of lots of people gathering which is completely against the rules, but actually conveying narrative from today is that we have to have this collective forbearance is the prime minister described it where we need to work together and make sacrifices in order to protect each other, but actually the image that the express oi’ actually the image that the express or showing of the sort of images that have actually been causing concern and have been particularly worrying after the ten o'clock cu rfew was worrying after the ten o'clock curfew was brought in to ensure that bars and curfew was brought in to ensure that bars a nd restau ra nts curfew was brought in to ensure that bars and restaurants were cleared, and we have seen people kind of thrown out onto the streets as it we re thrown out onto the streets as it were in big groups. it's been wearing people as to whether it's really working, or rather the

rationale behind the curfew is right, and interestingly, at the bottom of this story is does make very small pictures of chris whitty and sir patrick vallance who we haven't seen as much of recently. we saw them briefly last week but they reappeared, and it's the start of a kick off of new press conferences that we are going to be seen from number ten as this pandemic starts to ta ke number ten as this pandemic starts to take on a new direction, as the es p ressos , to take on a new direction, as the espressos, the wrong direction. quite a straight talking sir patrick balance today was saying we don't have this under control, rachel, he was saying there is no cause for complacency here. if you need a wake—up call, that is certainly at. yeah, ithink wake—up call, that is certainly at. yeah, i think that he has been quite clear to me you know, that this is going in the wrong direction, that there has been a spike in with something like this that has an x and m scholl —— exponential growth

and m scholl —— exponential growth and can quite easily get out of control. he was also talking about the regional disparities being quite severe because parts of the northeast northwest and midlands do seem northeast northwest and midlands do seem to be getting it worse than the southeast and the southwest. it does seem southeast and the southwest. it does seem to be, you know, we could put that we could speculate about that being down to the regional inequalities that exist anyway, those parts of the country have been hit by qualities that do affect health outcomes, and so there might be underlying health conditions as well as economic factors that would make it more likely for those areas to be hit harder, but it does make it difficult, because those areas, you know, they will be experiencing lockdown measures other parts of the country won't be, so the idea of

national unity, which we do need, you know, we do need to all feel that sense of collective responsibility to each other. it does risk being a little bit afraid unless there is very very good messaging from the government. of course, that is something that has been sadly lacking throughout. and the metro also, that idea keep calm cu rfew the metro also, that idea keep calm curfew on is their take on it, jo, with the picture there, also focusing on the different curfews gci’oss focusing on the different curfews across different regions, being slightly different, but the main picture lindsay hoyle was pretty quite a start 2pm cues earlier on today, just talk us through it happen. well, yeah, the problem has been, there has always been this tension around government announcements and whether parliament sort of has sites or is able to hear

from politicians first or ministers first, and lindsay hoyle was the commons speaker and he made it clear that he's been unimpressed with the way the —— batch —— backbench conservative switch had an amendment which was hooped and pulled around theissue which was hooped and pulled around the issue of parliament having more scrutiny and having more say over any potential future lockdown or future restrictions being put on the british public. that amendment wasn't selected, but matt hancock, health secretary, actually into the house and made a statement and actually said that parliament would have more say in the future. the interesting thing about the picture as well, is if you lookjust to the left of lindsay, the common speaker, he's a fantastic face of louise hay, who is a labour mp and her complete,

i suppose frustration or almost boredom perhaps with what she's hearing. a very interesting reflection of what's been going on in the commons where they have been telling mps they been totally powerless in this process. that is a detail that we will have to look at much closer. a good spot there. the i also talking about the different roles and the fact that downing street needs to simplify them. it's learned about how to this suggestion ofa learned about how to this suggestion of a new 3—tiered system in order to simplify the rules. is another system this time, three tiers, rachel? this actually is not a bad idea. this is the government suggesting, you know, it's obviously understood and particular with with borisjohnson's aphis understood and particular with with boris johnson's aphis week when he got the info wrong, he understood that there is a lot of confusion because there is so much discrepancy

in the different rules in different areas and different forms of tightened restrictions. so they've decided that there will be three tiers, areas in tier one will have been most severe lockdown restrictions, area two will be less severe. area three, not at all. and those tears will be dependent on cases per 100,000 so that there will be movement between the two years, so be movement between the two years, so that different parts of the country will know whether they are one, two or three, which will be a much more simplified form. it would add to that that it does make sense to simplify that, but if we are going to have different parts of the country and different stages of lockdown, it actually is even more important than it ever was to have local control of test and trace, local control of test and trace, local leaders as well as directors

of public health, really, anyone who had anything to do with public health management, whether that's epidemiologists or biometrics who run the diagnostic testing labs. they are all crying out for the syste m they are all crying out for the system to be localised. taken away from a centralised privatised system thatis from a centralised privatised system that is running in parallel to public health, and actually brought into local authorities where there is much more ability, capacity experience and infrastructure to deal with test and trace in a way that can manage the virus more effectively. so that is one big component and is something that the government is consistently ignoring. jo, government is consistently ignoring. jo, if that is something you would be suggesting to him at?|j jo, if that is something you would be suggesting to him at? i think the issueis be suggesting to him at? i think the issue is that there is no question that track and trace is a big issue and getting it right is huge, but

also one of the challenges with it is that the app that everybody‘s been downloading over the last i think we can now, you know, it does require a degree of participation from the public. actually ensuring that people are checking in when they are going to places and having venues that consistently do that, and having the public play their pa rt and having the public play their part in this is a huge part of it working. so i think it's absolutely right, and we have seen track and trace and different tracing systems having a much bigger impact in other parts of the world. we are not where we should be. and testing has been a huge problem. my son was ill last week and he had a sore throat, cough, i looked at him and thought, you know, what could be wrong? it doesn't look like it fits the symptoms, however, if you have any of the symptoms, you are supposed to do something about that, and the cough was new. and i looked at the testing system and could i get a test, no i couldn't come i tried several times last week, he is

recovered and fine, but you know, the system as it is does not work right now. we are pleased to hear that he has recovered and you also. i know you are saying you weren't feeling great as well. hopefully you are better now. the daily mail, let's have a look at the front page there, because they have this doctor... rachel, they are talking about the prime minister being too downbeat, where as a chief of the bank of england is saying that's, actually, things aren't that bad, economically. again, this kind of messaging, who are we meant to believe? yes, you are right, it is important not to get to is doom and who is gloom in this scenario. this is bank of england saying we should be more upbeat about the economy, not least because you know, being downbeat the economy has a knock on effect and not having confidence in

the economy tends to have a consequence for the economy. but i think that does raise an interesting question. i mean, the scientists are always saying to us, look, there is no, these two are one in the same. it's not either a strong economy or public health. the two are interconnected. you can't separate one from the other. public health is economic health. but it's also, if we want to be a bit less gloomy about it, than there are things that this pandemic may make this change that could turn out for the better. and we are seeing plenty of signs of public willing, if not, you know, hunger for some of these things, things like a four day week, for instance, has huge popularity. something like the green new deal which would rewire the economy so that it can deal with the climate emergency that we are in, but two, actually provide jobs at a time when so actually provide jobs at a time when so many people are worried about the

huge job losses that we are looking at. a green new deal would create jobs that are sustainable, well—paid, skilled, jobs that are sustainable, well— paid, skilled, in jobs that are sustainable, well—paid, skilled, in the green sector. so there are ways of looking at this less gloomily, but you do need to have a big old economic strategy to do that, and that is not something that we are seeing from the government. we are running out of time, so i'm going to crack on, the daily mirror, joe, is showing boris johnson's father in the daily mirror, joe, is showing borisjohnson's father in a shop in central london. this is today and or yesterday, today, and he is not weary —— wearing a mask and the idea is that we should be wearing one when we are inside, what kind of message does that give? obviously it's very unhealthy look, we've had repeated examples where people haven't listened to the rules. we cut the health secretary was told off when he touched, i think he put

his arm around her colleague are touched up colleague in the house of commons chamber. we have had the incident with dominic cummings who was very well—publicized when he took his trip to his family. it is, you know, these people are human. i'm not excusing its, but ultimately, people do break the rules, they break the rules every day, but people shouldn't be breaking the rules, and that's why the government has introduced finds and said that there would be a regime. ice was on a train today, and there were police officers on that train, asking people to put masks on that weren't wearing them. i had masks on that weren't wearing them. ihada masks on that weren't wearing them. i had a row with someone on a plane actually in the summer where they kept pulling their mask aside to talk. and i was trying to explain that everybody had to wear a mask on that everybody had to wear a mask on that plane. i didn't see why this particular individual felt that she was exempt from doing so. and there isa was exempt from doing so. and there is a bit of you know, that's also a bit of the collective forbearance, really, people reminding each other that they need to be observing the

rules, and actually, if your friends aren't or if your family aren't, i would hope that the prime minister picks up the phone and says to his death you know, not helpful, sta nley. death you know, not helpful, stanley. things very much. don't do it again. in one word, did they put the mask back on, joe? yes. i was quite forceful about it.|j the mask back on, joe? yes. i was quite forceful about it. i will tell you what's come if you told me to do it, i would you what's come if you told me to do it, iwould probably you what's come if you told me to do it, i would probably do it. i've seen people on the two, and they are still not wearing masks. it's quite exasperating. the daily star, a great headline from the daily star. we are talking about christmas, is anyone in the mood for christmas right now, but basically somebody is, because they are buying rachel, all of the christmas puddings. who even eats them? i did see christmas decorations in a shop the other day. i don't really like christmas puddings, so i'm not that worried about this, but if you touch the yule log for instance, then i will start to be concerned. the next story will be about turkeys, our turkeys are traditionally bred to be quite large to feed big christmas gatherings, and they are actually getting all too big for the

gatherings we are having. of course they are. that's christmas put in a sentence. thank you. that's that's the point at christmas, if you buy one of them, like dry turkey. not much time left, times, floating asylu m not much time left, times, floating asylum centres, joe, retired fairies for asylums, seek —— people seeking asylu m for asylums, seek —— people seeking asylum i'll call us the coast of britain. there is an interesting flurry of stories that is emerged over the last couple of days of lots of ideas being considered by government about about where we are going to put various migrants —— migrants that have been arriving in the uk there has been suggestions of different islands. there is now a suggestion of floating asylum seekers on retired fairies. years ago, i could remember conservatives talking about the idea of prison ships for example these things kind of tend to be around again, but there certainly seems to

bea again, but there certainly seems to be a series of paintings that were commissioned. it appears to be that number ten has been asking for things, pretty talcum of home secretary appears to have been having plans drawn up. how likely any of those will ever come to fruition, nobody knows. sometimes, it's just that these things are done in order to prove they can't work, for example. so we don't know how far advanced these ideas are, but it certainly seems to be a briefing over the last couple of days around this idea of how do we tackle this issue around it. the final story, rachel, the first presidential debate, you sort of quality debates, but it was, the times showing a picture there, and therefore both, as you can see, talking at the same time. yes, it was chaotic, disruptive, exasperating, really painful to watch, i think we can say now that from in refusing to condemn a white supremacist and actually telling them to come you know, standby, i

think we can call that... that's what it is. and we do need to think about the idea that he's trying to trying to make it look like a done deal, so a lot of the democrat voices are now talking about, you know, absolute urgent necessity of getting out to vote. this is not over. so, you know, the insistence now on getting out the vote i think we are going to see from the democrat side much, much more in the next few weeks. desperately what i wa nted next few weeks. desperately what i wanted to ask you, because of course, you were with borisjohnson as he was doing the first televised debates when he was becoming mayor of london, we don't have time, but thatis of london, we don't have time, but that is for the memoirs, jo, so we will let you write about that when it comes to how do you get leaders to behave when they are in these

kind of high—profile situations. thank you very much for behaving and keeping to time. jo, rachel, lovely as always too happy with us on tonight's papers and thank you also oui’ tonight's papers and thank you also our viewers as well and the hashtag is bbc papers if you would like to follow us on social media as well. hello, this is your latest sports news. manchester united are through to the quarterfinals of the league cup to the quarterfinals of the league cu p after to the quarterfinals of the league cup after their second win over brighton in the space of five days. this was a lot more comfortable than saturday's last—gasp victory. they gave united the lead just before half—time. second on 72 minutes. they made the game safe with a deflected free kick ten minutes before fall time. league 2 ——

league two newport county gave premier league newcastle a might scare at rodney parade. —— a mighty scare. county took the lead through tristan abrahams early on. newcastle had to wait until the 87th minute before finally finding an equaliser through jonjo shelvey. it went to penalties and heartbreak for newport, after their defender brandon cooper missed the decisive spot kick. newcastle scraping through 5—4 on penalties. elsewhere, raheem sterling scored twice in manchester city's 3—0 win at burnley, while dominic calvert—lewin scored a hat—trick in everton's 4—1 victory over west ham. everton are through to the women's fa cup final after beating birmingham 3—0. goals from northern ireland forward simone magill, denmark's nicoline sorensen, and france striker valerie gauvin sealed victory. everton will play either holders manchester city or iii—time winners arsenal at wembley on i november. wales will be without gareth bale for 0ctober‘s friendly against england, and their nations league matches against the republic of ireland and bulgaria.

bale was carrying a knee injury before he rejoined tottenham on loan from real madrid earlier this month and still isn't match fit. here's wales manager ryan giggs. we had to think seriously about, you know, not only the short term but the long—term, get gareth back for it and playing, and look forward to seeing him in the premier league. he will be playing regularly. so yeah, i'm happy that gareth is back at a club he knows so well. wigan athletic‘s administrators have reached an agreement with a bidderfrom spain to buy the league one club. wigan entered administration in july and were relegated from the championship after a i2—point penalty. the bidder, who is yet to be named, has paid a "substantial" deposit and will pay non—football creditors to ensure the club doesn't pick up a further is—point penalty. it's set to be a fascinating finale to the regular english premiership season, with sale and bristol bears both tied on points for the last playoff spot.

bristol thrashed leicester by 40—3 at ashton gate, with the bonus point being critical. they will need to better the result of sale, bath, or wasps on sunday if they want to progress to the semi finals. exeter are already assured of a home tie and rested many of their first team in losing 22—19 to london irish this evening. elsewhere, worcester beat relegated saracens. serena williams has withdrawn from the french open. she was due to play in the second round at roland garros today, but she's been carrying an achilles problem that she picked up at the us open. that's likely to be the end of her season, and the wait goes on for a record equalling 24th grand slam singles title. i had to focus on walking straight so i wasn't limping, and... i tried, i always give 100%, everyone knows that. maybe even more than 100 if that's possible. i take solace in that. so, yeah, i think achilles

is a real injury that you do not want to play with, because that is not good if it gets worse. meanwhile, top seed simona halep and third seed elina svitolina are both through to the third round — but the tenth seed victoria azarenka is out. she was beaten in straight sets by world number 161 anna karolina schmiedlova from slovakia. 12—time champion rafael nadal is through to the third round. he cruised through in straight sets against america's mackenzie mcdonald. nadal will play italy's stefano travaglia next. hello, i'm kevin ramjaun, and this is your latest sports news. —— gavin ramjaun. england's wicketkeeper has only played one of the last 12 tests, so it wasn't unexpected, so he remains on the limited overs lists for retained players. they've been given

test deals, five players have been given contracts, both red and white ball cricket. here is the england managing director's admission. it's a not for him, i'm sure. johnny's played one test match in a year. we only have so many contracts that we award, and it's a tough call to make, because johnny has award, and it's a tough call to make, becausejohnny has been a very good serverfor make, becausejohnny has been a very good server for the two, but he remains a very important part of what we do. he's one of our contracted players on one of our most dangerous players in that form, and that hasn't changed. spare a thought for shakira solomon, her site had england in trouble in the final t20 match in derby, again, reads to just five overs aside. england needed three runs off three balls with three wickets remaining when she bowled a no ball. the equation then became 12 in our three balls, and soma proceeded to pull another no ball to handing them victory, and a five — neil series wash. heartbreak for her, victory, and a five — neil series wash. heartbreakfor her, and before

we go, one super league result to tell you about, huddersfield beat hall, king street service 32 points to 22, huddersfield or sell sex, but they are now bottom of the table. that's all the support from us for now. “— that's all the support from us for now. —— sport for us us for now. hello. thursday offers up the promise of a dryer day for the majority of the uk in comparison to wednesday. there should be some decent sunshine and the winds will be a little light as well. how are we managing that when our weather is dominated essentially by this massive area of low pressure for the coming days? one with actually seven centres — but we are getting quite close to a little hill in the isobars. that is a brief ridge of high pressure that we will sit in through thursday. it's not plain sailing though, there will still be some more persistent rain across northern and eastern scotland through the day and coming into the southwest through the afternoon, some sharper showers that will push into wales, some for northern ireland, perhaps some more generally across southern britain later on in the day. but in contrast to wednesday, lighter winds, and the rain nowhere

near as widespread — temperatures 111—15 degrees. we head through thursday evening, and we will start to notice something developing to the south of the uk. the rain towards the north pulls away, it becomes quite quiet here, skies clear, it's a largely dry night across scotland and northern ireland, and actually chilly in some rural spots. but to the south of the uk, we've basically got a hook that's formed, and this is a deep low pressure centre that is set to spin up across brittany, ploughing its way into france — the worst of the weather think on the way to france. the french met service have given it a name, it's storm alex, and it looks like it will also affect southern britain, so hence our concern for friday, particularly through the early part of the day for heavy rain across southern counties of england pushing into south wales, and very strong winds, may be gusting up to 70 mph. even in land, though, 30—35 mph as that low centre spins away to the south of us and this weather from swings north.

quite a contrast between the north and south on friday. england and wales, wet and windy. scotland and northern ireland, largely dry with some decent spells of sunshine. but for the weekend, we are still dominated by low—pressure, and as such, it looks like further bands of rain will sweep around this larger low with its centre to the south. i think some wet weather for all areas through the weekend, some strong winds at times too. the detail on this low, somewhat, complicated, so it's very hard for us to pinpoint exactly when your area will get wettest of the weather. but that trend, i'm afraid, is very clear.

this is bbc news — with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm kasia madera... the body that oversees us presidential debates says it'll take steps to ensure there is no repeat of wednesday's chaotic and angry contest. the question is. you're gonna put a lot of new supreme court justices. the question is. ..radical left. will you shut up, man? listen, who is on your list, joe? after ducking an opportunity to condemn white supremacists — the president now claims ignorance over a far—right group he mentioned by name. i don't know who the proud boys are. i mean, you'll have to give me a definition because i really don't know who they are. i can only say they have to stand down. let law enforcement do their work. the un secretary general calls on richer countries to help out so everyone can get access to a potential covid vaccine.
