in tonight's international football, all four home nations have been in action in the nations league. from wembley, our sports correspondent natalie pirks reports. a year to the day since england faced appalling racist abuse in bulgaria, players took the knee to reflect. they were fresh from beating the world number ones, belgium, on sunday, but their only meaningful movement in the first half came from beleaguered defender harry maguire, sent off for a second clumsy tackle, leaving england down to ten. the look of dejection summing up his horrible start to the season. it got immediately worse with denmark handed a penalty. and he does so emphatically. it was coolly dispatched by christian eriksen, a great way to celebrate his 100th cap for his country. england actually played better a man down. what a save by kasper schmeichel! but kasper schmeichel was alert to the danger and denmark inflicted england's first defeat in more than a year.
10:31 pm
scotland, meanwhile, have been playing some lovely football lately and their confidence continued at hampden against czech republic. after just five minutes, lyndon dykes wriggled free to find ryan fraser, who showed great composure. it was the only goal of the game as scotland raced four points clear at the top of their group. unbeaten wales faced the away trip no one wants, to bulgaria. the stadium was allowed to be 30% full and there were fears we could see a repeat of racism we have seen in the past. but few turned up, as jonny williams finally broke bulgarian resistance minutes from the end. that's ten hours of competitive football without conceding a goal for wales. and a tricky away trip to oslo faced northern ireland. norway beat them 5—1 in their last match but this time, they were holding their own, until they were undone by a corner and an own goal.
10:32 pm
the effort was there, the result was not, and northern ireland remain bottom of their group without a win to their name. a mixed bag for the home nations, top of their great, scotland and wales but here, a relentless schedule for the gareth southgate interchanges and he opted for pragmatism over panache, and ill discipline saw his planned sale out of the window. they started the night top of the great and they have ended it third. natalie, many thanks. all the football news from wembley, there. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night.
10:34 pm
welcome to bbc news. hello to viewers in the uk joining those around the world. it's now time for us to take a first look at the national and international front pages in the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are political commentator lance price and kate andrews, economics correspondent at the spectator. tomorrow's front pages starting with. .. the daily telegraph reports the chancellor's warning that a circuit breaker lockdown would inflict terrible harm on the economy. the i warns of a tougher lockdown
10:35 pm
across parts of england by the end of the week — as the pm is urged to tighten restrictions in the north, midlands and london. the guardian, too, looks at the restrictions in place to curb the virus as local leaders in greater manchester and lancashire warn deaths will continue to rise if more isn't done. the metro leads on the investigation that has been launched after students in birmingham were given used swabs to test for coronavirus. the financial times front page shows a shopper out in belfast today — as the country prepares for tighter restrictions which will see pubs, restaurants, salons and schools close. the daily mail looks at a new report which reveals hundreds of under—65s have been killed by strokes and heart attacks because of the lockdown. and — the new york times reports the us could have the world's first working coronavirus vaccine within months — but that it may only provide moderate protection.
10:36 pm
so let's begin... always a but when you feel if you have a little bit of good news. really good to have you both on. absolutely all of the papers as we saw dominated by coronavirus, all the different restrictions across the different restrictions across the uk and also what is happening internationally, we will start with the telegraph, this is rishi sunak the telegraph, this is rishi sunak the big split about how to deal with the, whether to bring in lockdowns, whether to, how to look at the academy and i know that you have been looking at the different restrictions, the type of recoveries that will be happening on the root economy, i knew got to the alphabet on it with the spectator, talk us through the paper is saying with rishi sunak. he doesn't want to see
10:37 pm
it circuit breaker. that prime minister has been under pressure for weeks to implement a circuit breaker, this was the suggestion from sage that was put to him he rejected he has gone for this alert system instead which has three different tiers, medium, high and very high depending on your area. you have more or less restrictions. one of the reasons he will have afforded a national circuit breaker altogether is that because of the chancellor. the chancellor presented the economic data saying if you put us the economic data saying if you put us back into something that looks like a national lockdown then potentially millions of people, thousands of businesses hanging on bya thousands of businesses hanging on by a thread right now thatjust got through that first leg of lockdown are going to fall apart if you do this the second time. i think this is being framed the wrong way. it's lives versus lives, if the economy colla pses lives versus lives, if the economy collapses that has a huge cost to public health as well. there has been some scenarios around the cost of the lockdown in the deaths
10:38 pm
associated with that, at the moment that number is estimated to be slightly higher than the number of deaths so far. absolutely tragic in an important reminder we have a lot of good things here. it's disappointing to say the scenarios for a v—shaped recovery, very sharp economic retraction that we experience in the spring and summer followed by very fast rebound feels further and further away now that we have more restrictions coming in and growth artie stalled in august. a lot of economy starting to worry that this is not going to be a sharp v but that this is not going to be a sharp vbuta that this is not going to be a sharp v but a lackluster recovery. he may not get back to this until 2022. nothing even factoring in other national lockdown can we can have another economic retraction. it's a stark reminder what you are saying. looking at the possibility of a tougher lockdown measure going across, they describe the three
10:39 pm
strictest, tier three restrictions. all getting used to these tier systems. like them of the northwest, northeast, large earth of yorkshire and the midlands, and the prime minister being urged to extend this. it feels like an divide between what's economically good and what is good for health factors. yes and there's also a divide between what there's also a divide between what the national government wishes to do and particularly what regional mayors, local council leaders feel about what is the best use of their local areas. a lot of haggling so going on, it may come down to the amount of financial support that's given to those areas before they would agree to a stepping up, and movement of their regions into the next tear up movement of their regions into the next tearup in movement of their regions into the next tear up in the case of, as you say come and greater manchester going into the highest tier, into
10:40 pm
tier three. but clearly the government would like to do it in cooperation with those council leaders, but it has the power to impose a change on them if it feels necessary to do so. there's a bit of politics behind this as well, because i think the government would because i think the government would be prepared if they had to do that to put a little bit of the blame, if it does not work, on those local council leaders to fail to support with the thought was necessary. then there's the border argument, with the thought was necessary. then there's the borderargument, not only have we just gotten used to these three tiers, not onlyjust yesterday we were told what they were, but suggesting that there could be changes to those from other regions of the country in those by the end of the week. possibly even tomorrow but certainly by friday. in the telegraph which we have just been talking about, even talking about the possibility of the circuit breaker, the nationwide shutdown for
10:41 pm
a very short period of time coming a week after that. even before the three tiers that we have just been getting have a chance to show whether they can work or not. they a lwa ys whether they can work or not. they always say you cannot really compare countries like for like, the figures are different. but interesting to see how france is dealing with this. emmanuel macron interesting in various areas, including paris and the immediate surroundings curfews. talk us through how that's going to work and what you think. is that something that, well it's their way of dealing with what's happening there quick figures rising across europe at the moment. it can be difficult and inaccurate to compare certain countries to others but of course it's hard not to what we are talking about access death rates or contractions from the economy. we've been told for weeks and even months that we are in a similar trajectory with infections as france, it's a good country to look to and as you
10:42 pm
mentioned emmanuel macron announced is going to be a curfew in hotspots in france where people have to be indoors between 9pm and six a:m.. i think it's important for several reasons. it reminds us to the very height of lockdown the uk was slightly more liberal with his restrictions that many other parts of europe and did not see the same kinds of curfews, the rules of registration only outside for certain reasons which were all allowed to go to the park and allowed to go to the park and allowed at all hours if you had a reason to be. a reminder that it did go back to lockdown measures how wea k go back to lockdown measures how weak compared to what we are doing in europe. lots of country struggling with this second wave and is not just struggling with this second wave and is notjust the uk struggling to get this. in france as well we have politicians pushing back and members of the public pushing back saying we really don't think this is sustainable indefinitely because
10:43 pm
without a vaccine or a very successful treatment the suggestion is we have to keep having these restrictions placed on our lives and an increasing feeling that was possible to do that for a limited period of time but not possible to do that indefinitely. remind us back to those restrictions, especially in italy a river speaking to people whose children have a lock to their homes for such a long time, lance will be look at northern ireland for example now bringing in school closures and we have france bring in these curfews, closures and we have france bring in these cu rfews, england closures and we have france bring in these curfews, england bringing in these curfews, england bringing in these different tiers, what's your opinion? what do you think is working and what isn't? i'm putting you on the spot here. clearly have not had an opportunity to test how well the new changes are working on the ground because there's a lack of time. you bring in a new restriction and the figures that we see in terms of admissions to hospital and sadly deaths relate to infections that
10:44 pm
have been two, three, orfourweeks before. we are seeing these changes coming very rapidly now before we have a chance to see what works. all we know for sure in terms of the health aspect of it, never mind the health aspect of it, never mind the health of the economy, is that a broad lockdown did work. it did suppress the figures not only in the uk but across europe, and therefore it delayed the progress of the infection, but that's all it did, and put a lid on it for a limited period of time and all of these measures have been tried in different countries and different ways, many of them quite similar. the duration may be different or the region may be different but they're all about trying to suppress the virus for as long as they can and of course particularly concerned about the onset of winter and the cold weather and possibility of flu and other pressures on all the various
10:45 pm
countries health systems. the interesting thing in the uk is that it's around rhenium of movement between the different parts of the country in the addition of whales to say you cannot travel into wales from certain hotspots in england and scotland saying something different. in france they are not restricting movement whereas the first time around they are very restricted on that and you cannot travel more than 50 climbers from your home. this round they are not doing that. i'm afraid it's too soon to be able to judge what works and what does not. the rules keep changing as fast as they are changing and they actually become very difficult even with hindsight further down the line to work out exactly which steps did have a real impact. that's a really good point. one thing that we do know is that the most vulnerable, the elderly, there were just about
