11:31 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster daisy mcandrew and jack blanchard, the uk political editor of politico europe. tomorrow's front pages starting with the telegraph reports on the latest discussions between the uk government and local leaders in greater manchester. the paper says some of borisjohnson‘s own mps have backed calls from manchester city council to introduce shielding for the elderly and vulnerable instead of placing tighter restrictions on nearly three million people. the i says the uk could be heading towards what the papers calls a ‘backdoor lockdown‘ as a further 22 million people across the northern england and the midlands could face tougher restrictions by the end of the week. the guardian leads on
11:32 pm
the welsh government imposing a sixteen day nationwide lockdown. the first minister, mark drakeford has defended his decision to introduce tighter measures despite the country having the lowest infection rate of the four home nations. the metro says more people died at home from illnesses other than covid during lockdown. latest figures from the ons show deaths from diabetes have increased by eight six percent over the last six months. the express follows a similar theme with medical leaders demanding action after nearly 25,000 excess deaths at private homes were recorded between march and september, with the vast majority not linked to coronavirus. the mail leads on comments from the duke of cambridge who has warned of what he calls a ‘mental health catastrophe‘ if local lockdowns stop people socialising. and, the times says british spies stopped a plot by russia intelligence to hack the 2020 tokyo 0lympics. so, let‘s begin. the peril of newspapers printing their first the peril of newspapers printing theirfirst edition so the peril of newspapers printing their first edition so early. a storm of the guardian, a
11:33 pm
reasonably straightforward front page. 0rdering lockdowns in england going it alone, those printed before the secretary said, essentially, there‘s going to bea high said, essentially, there‘s going to be a high noon tomorrow between the government in manchester. the guardian, to be fair to the guardian on the website, the sacred and manchester has a tuesday deadline even still, that story is quite something. yes and you can be sure he will dominate the conversation all morning leading up the government has to sit down and said they decided it is time to force the issue, the noises coming out of greater manchester tonight and that it is not impressed at all with local leaders saying that privately, they feel the government has not negotiated in good faith and they knew sooner and waiter, they would just impose their will —— later. but the problem is, really, the government really does need local leaders to buy into this process because this is really only going to work with harsh restrictions on peoples lives if people agree to go
11:34 pm
along with that. a lot of these measures cannot just be along with that. a lot of these measures cannotjust be enforced by police, they‘re going to be people to willingly do it in some if they see their own local elected leaders saying that no, we think this is the wrong approach, that is how the going to encourage people to comply. it is not a good look for the government to impose this but they have decided this is been going on long enough and perhaps we‘ll see more tomorrow morning. long enough and perhaps we‘ll see more tomorrow morninglj long enough and perhaps we‘ll see more tomorrow morning. i sure they‘re not recasting and reprinting it, given the update. but i‘m curious what the role is for the mayor of greater manchester. a national force mayor of greater manchester. a nationalforce in mayor of greater manchester. a national force in the cabinet and he has become an important regional figure enough the next few days, very key figure in the entire pandemic. i think it is very interesting with politicians individual popularity when you're telling the people to do something, to trust that they have a new route popular you are, i respect that you are is very important because i'm
11:35 pm
not saying it's like some sort of beauty contest, but trust is very important at the moment during this pandemicl important at the moment during this pandemic i think andy burnham is a very popular man if he has handled the health brief, he understands it. we have this unseemly dispute between central government and local mayors about what andy burnham and others and manchester are saying in the government selective use of statistics and beer for the government over the last day or so saying that hospitals in the greater manchester area are near to bursting. and capacity is almost full. in retaliation coming out of manchester city saying that yes, the capacity is about 87% but that is normal for this time of year. there is nothing out of the ordinary. there prepared for covid—19 cases. so, you can see people hurling statistics around and hurling abuse around andl statistics around and hurling abuse around and i feel terribly sorry for the people in greater manchester wondering what on earth they're
11:36 pm
going to do tomorrow. are they going to follow the government guidelines, are they going to follow andy burnham who many of them believe has the best interest at heart, both financially and medically. it is interesting, the manchester news, given the deadline of noon on tuesday, until three restrictions, manchester evening news, that will be a fantastically important story. let‘s just look to one of the other aspects of the covid—i9 crisis. it has affected almost every aspect of life, including those of other illnesses. they have picked up on statistics, act now to save hidden victims of the virus and other people are dying, not just from the virus and other people are dying, notjust from covid—i9. the virus and other people are dying, notjust from covid-19. this is been going on since lockdowns started in early march, before we are forced to do so. people were relu cta nt to are forced to do so. people were reluctant to going to hospital with all sorts of conditions when they ought to be going into
11:37 pm
hospitals and increasing numbers of people dying at home as a result. you might see some these people might‘ve died anywhere in hospital, having been in hospital, but certainly some of them would not have. the overall number is higher as well as the number of deaths at home. itjust goes to show why the government is so conflicted on this. they feel like they‘re in an absolute trap where wherever they move, something else disastrous happens behind it and if it doesn‘t go far enough on the lot down, you see the covid—i9 cases to start the spiking of russians in that direction, the economy starts to tank and they also see impacts like this, which is a very serious health impact for all sorts of vulnerable people in the country and so, you have to feel sorry for the people in the government because it‘s notjust them, all governments of high covid—i9 cases having to grapple with the stuff, there is not an easy a nswer with the stuff, there is not an easy answer there. thousands stayed
11:38 pm
home instead of seeking help. people being tore for months to stay at home if you can, she would if you can, but it turns out you should try to leave your house to seek help or try to get help to come to you in a must be heartbreaking for all of those families to 25,000 nexus deaths in private homes, not going to covid—i9. deaths in private homes, not going to covid-19. these are not coronavirus cases and these are statistics that are saying the numberof statistics that are saying the number of people dying at home did increase. but as jack implied, number of people dying at home did increase. but asjack implied, those dying of those things that are primarily heart disease, prostate cancer, breast cancer did come down. so, statistically, the number of people dying of those diseases wasn't very inflated, but i think that does not take away from the fa ct that does not take away from the fact that we do have a very big unintended health crisis as a result of covid—19 because the kind of depth that are being caused at the
11:39 pm
moment by coronavirus that are not coronavirus are things like mental health, suicides, domestic abuse attacks. 0ther health, suicides, domestic abuse attacks. other issues that have arisen from poverty, unemployment, deprivation and most of the statistics and illnesses and potentially deaths would not be seen for quite some time. so, with the present problem people dying at home when they might or perhaps should have been dying in hospital, our longer—term impact. a tale, if you like on the statistics. ajames a james bond ajames bond style story. the uk thwarted russian plots to disrupt the olympics. when i saw this, i thought, it was disrupted anyway by the pandemic, but apparently there we re the pandemic, but apparently there were other efforts going on to disrupted. kind of kind of a tenjames bond thing. kind of a ten james bond thing. it's almost like being controlled
11:40 pm
by this weird country, weird country leadership does playing pranks on the rest of the road and unpleasant way. we‘re being told is this was a response to the fact that russians got in this mass doping activity a few years ago and so, members of the russian authorities that they would get their own back by messing up the tokyo 0lympic get their own back by messing up the tokyo olympic games. the last laugh is on everybody because they did not get a chance to. daisy, jack thinks this will be an incredibly weak james bond film. do you agree? anything that has to deal with hacking does seem a bit nerdy and a basement somewhere, but hacking is big business now. notjust as far as disrupting lives, but also financially and a lot of these russian hackers who are linked to the russian government and security
11:41 pm
forces have done huge damage to stock markets across the world, to businesses across the world and i think it is quite exciting from a british point of view and dominic raab is artie been doing a bit of a hooray for me on this front. british services were involved in this investigation and it's also interesting to see that they were thwarted ultimately in the tokyo games because they never happen. but actually the same investigation has shown that the opening ceremony of the winter games two years ago was successfully hacked by these same hackers have been arrested in this joint uk, us staying and that they managed to hack into the wi—fi of the opening ceremony and completely messed up for most of the spectators who could i download the tickets and get in. it did make me think how many of this is just technology undervery many of this is just technology under very daily life and you cannot do something you think it is a glitch, how many of these things
11:42 pm
are actually being done by malicious foreign agents for some other purpose thanjust foreign agents for some other purpose than just your iphone or your tablet not working on that particular day? it does make you wonder. they'll have to do this all over again for the 2021 tokyo 0lympics. so, we should probably save this front page again next year and let us move to the daily mail. we will go back to the pandemic now. prince william covered mental health catastrophes. prince william in recent yea rs catastrophes. prince william in recent years has made mental health one of his real projects and now, linking that to the pandemic. and it goes back to what were talking about earlier. it‘s not just goes back to what were talking about earlier. it‘s notjust physical illnesses that being exacerbated by this lockdown measures and other impacts of the virus, it‘s also people‘s mental health and people are locked up. people‘s mental health is been impacted badly by
11:43 pm
what is happening this year in people with existing mental health problems even worse, so for them, them using their platform to ways awareness about this because it‘s got potential to be quite a hidden problem and especially people who live on their own interlocked when their houses for so much of this year, not able to reach out and speak to people and so the more we talk about this, the more it is discussed on the front pages, it‘s a good thing. but the problem is we are going into a long dark winter now and we look like we‘re locking down more and more each week and so, you do have to worry, what is going to be left if people want to get out in the spring next year? the nights are dry again. have you learned how to socialised on zoom. does that have the simple formatives having people around and going out to people? no. i'm absolutely rubbish at it. i tried to embrace them, in
11:44 pm
particular, think this is the problem, a lot of people come ijust ran out of things to say because i had no news. i'mjust ran out of things to say because i had no news. i'm just looking for news of the the same conversations with the kids of the dogs. very little of interest to say and neither did anyone else. i think prince william is using its platform well and i prince william is using its platform welland i am prince william is using its platform well and i am not an all out monarchist and that i don't think there was to the right thing, but i think on this issue of mental health, they are making a real difference by breaking those views andl difference by breaking those views and i like that he is standing up for kids and students because i think particularly at the moment, that being blamed across the country for the rise in coronavirus and it is not their fault. some of them, some of them have been irresponsible, like all bits of society have, but a lot of them are just trying to go to university and have been told to by the authorities they're getting a lot of stick unnecessarily and must be miserable for those students who are
11:45 pm
not being locked in their rooms and doing all of this studying online and such a big moment in their lives. so, i do like the fact that prince william is standing up forthem like the fact that prince william is standing up for them and perhaps not a lot of people are at the moment. is zoom socialising any good? it's all right. little bit of value for the first time he did it. when you we re the first time he did it. when you were holding quizzes and doing that sort of thing that petered out a bit because you love the idea became very unappealing but the alternative is shivering and of garden in sadly this is the only way forward. shall we move to the daily telegraph? you‘re going to go to a legal story. serious offenders parole hearings may be heard in public. would you queue up for a ticket in the public gallery? i would not you
11:46 pm
up for a ticket in the public gallery and we're hoping it will not be that type of event. the point is, rememberthe type of event. the point is, remember the other cases and it was from the victims where the victims many of them found out that he was being given parole via the radio and tv and newspapers which was despicable and it came at a time or he deserved his privacy. admin loss that takes notes appealed and he we nt that takes notes appealed and he went on to be convicted of more rapes after he very nearly got that out on parole. so, i think that case has sparked this look at this issue and the recommendation is that victims in the press would be allowed in to cover these parole boards, but not necessarily a mob thatjust wants boards, but not necessarily a mob that just wants to see blood and personally, i am that just wants to see blood and personally, lam in that just wants to see blood and personally, i am in favour of
11:47 pm
that. i think the victim statements which are just requested sin through and you never know what happens to them and this is happened to me. you just wa nt and this is happened to me. you just want to know what is going on and if this person is really been rehabilitated and is safe to be let out a society. i do think this is a good idea, but it is like the beginning it has to be handled very delicately. 0n the front page, there‘s a story that i would imagine is the most slandered and liable in the history of generations that we‘ve named. many generations only came in the 50s and press 1920s. millennial as all of the world, we now learn, have lost faith in democracy. how does that make you feel, jack? makes you feel very depressed, but also it is not that surprising to see that this huge cohort of relatively young people who basically have been
11:48 pm
screwed, again and again by various disasters that beset the world at critical points in their lives have turned around are feeling pretty depressed off about that. the timing of the financial crash in 2008 was horrendous for people just going into the market at that time, what happened to property prices in this country, specifically was disastrous for the generation as well and we‘ve got coronavirus to deal with on top of all of that and you‘re to feel huge sympathy for people just feel like i‘m like the parents generation, they didn‘t really get a fair crack at things for reasons com pletely fair crack at things for reasons completely out of their control and so this is framed as having lost faith in democracy. i think it is just feeling depressed off of the world in general and handed you been dealt. you talk a little earlier by university students not having the time that we all would‘ve had in normal times and i would imagine it is no particular surprise that they‘re feeling incredibly annoyed.
11:49 pm
no, i don't think it is a particular surprise and there is a similar story about boomerang generations that are all living with their parents and statistic now, it's actually extraordinary. this is a 24—year—old, 63% of them now with their parents and that is crazy. jack mentioned house prices and getting in the house the lighter —— housing ladder. it probably would be much higher. i do understand that this generation is pretty fed up and is looking around saying, who's to blame. all decisions are to blame, democracy is to blame. and they're very innovative generation and i saved them because i'm significantly older. very innovative, particularly technology and peer to peer communication which have turned into a form of democracy and a pressure
11:50 pm
group to make changes and i think thatis group to make changes and i think that is what we will see happen here. but as long as some sort of making changes in the right way not the wrong way. that is the last word. broadcasters, thank you for joining us. this is your sports news. starting the premier league and they‘re up to six after a 1—0 win and the host position in the first half, but they went ahead through the area after the break and into the goal to be brought up for off—site. a quarter ofan hour brought up for off—site. a quarter of an hour later, was deflected off the head of calvin phillips to give

and how confident are you in the team that is got you where you are now? a great line appear. great condition, the team will try to support him this much as possible it's been a difficult year and so be great if we could end up on a high note here and for me, personally, this is my last race with the team before moving on next year, and so, i‘m looking to end by 11 years with the team to end ona high end by 11 years with the team to end on a high note. how challenging his last six months been for everyone in the sports but the restrictions on coronavirus? frightening, it's one of those really dynamic sports and you are not just of those really dynamic sports and you are notjust in the stadium, you cannot just lock it you are notjust in the stadium, you cannotjust lock it down, you are out on the open road and quite difficult to control with contact with people and definitely trying to
11:56 pm
implement the bubble system is best we can and committed so hopefully we will be able to do the same. on the bbc sports website, you‘ll be notified everything else. but that is your sports for now. very mild out there at the moment. and tuesday promises to be a very mild day. we have southerly winds across the uk, and the air is coming all the way from spain and portugal. a bit of rain in the forecast. quite a lot of it. we can see this big low pressure that are sleeping in from the south of the cloud, that is with the air is coming from, all the way from iberia. with the winds it will be a very mild morning, a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain too, a very wet night in northern ireland,
11:57 pm
and parts of scotland but these are the morning temperatures. 13 in plymouth and double figures across some northern part of the uk. the rain will be coming go across most parts of england or wales. northern ireland in the afternoon because he persistent heavy showers and probably click parts of southwest scotland as well. but aberdeen will be a little bit brighter. but look at the temperatures. we are pushing 20 in the southeast. more likely to be 17 to 19 degrees there. wednesday coming of the low pressure comes in. remnants of storm barbara which will have swept across parts of portugal, spain, the bay of biscay, we are not too sure how much wind this weather system will bring. the thinking is it will bring a fair bit of rain and you see the dull blues there but the wind could be for a time quite strong in the extreme southeast of the country. further west and north, a different weather pattern and more sunshine for the lake district, but not completely dry. there are some showers around across the northwest of the uk.
11:58 pm
it is still going to be mild and the weather system come again from the south. thursday, we have a bit of a break in the weather, and between weather systems. you can see fewer isobars on the weather map. the white pressure lines. that means that winds will be a lot lighter in the sunshine around and thursday is promising to be a pretty decent day across most of the uk. the weather system out there in the north sea and one in the atlantic in a bit of wet weather to the south of us and in between so there will be more sunshine around. temperatures will be around 12 to 16 degrees. you can see the temperatures peaking on tuesday. from then onwards it looks like it will cool off a tad bit. 0verall, staying on the mild side. that is it for me. goodbye.
