11:33 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are anna mikhailova, deputy political editor, mail on sunday and maya goodfellow, political writer & academic. as always, thank you very much for joining us. let's start with some of the pages we have already. the guardian reports the chancellor will tomorrow announce a further package of measures to support businesses in the parts of england hit by coronavirus restrictions. rishi sunak will tell mps the prospect of an economic recovery is getting bleaker. the financial times says rishi sunak is risking a cabinet revolt after the treasury scaled back borisjohnson spending programme to level—up the country because of the economic damage caused by the pandemic.
11:34 pm
the daily telegraph says care workers will be restricted to working in just one residential home to stop the spread of coronavirus under plans being drawn up by the uk government. the daily mail carries an admission from the police officer responsible for enforcing the uk's coronavirus laws that he did not know them. andy rhodes, the chief constable of lancashire police, said the rules were too confusing and that people needed ‘simple messages'. the times says covid infection rates amongst the young people are falling amid fears over the rising number of deaths across the uk. the metro features pope francis, who has given his blessing of civil partnerships between same—sex couples. the pontiff said gay people had ‘the right to be in a family'. and the mirror has described mps decision to reject marcus rashford's call to extend free school meals for children through the holidays as ‘so cruel‘.
11:35 pm
so, lots of various stories. let's begin with the daily telegraph. we are going to start with rishi sunak and this extra pledge... we're expecting the chancellor to make an announcement tomorrow and in theory, we're expecting him to give extra support for those firms, those companies in that second tier because up until now, it was only the companies that found themselves in the third tier that were receiving support. that's in theory what we're expecting. that's right. these tier 2 businesses have found themselves between a rock and hard place during this time. so, they can't receive the same level of support for shutting because technically, they're legally allowed, but a combination of the
11:36 pm
social distancing restrictions between households and the 10pm cu rfew between households and the 10pm curfew has really, really hit businesses. so this is something that mps have been calling for for the last couple weeks, saying you have to provide more support for businesses and this time of lockdown. the thing to remember is london and essex and some parts of the country have just come into tier 2, but huge swathes of the north have had some level of the restriction along the lines for months now. so, this is seen as something that desperately needed, particularly with unfurlough wind down at the end of the 31st of 0ctober. down at the end of the 31st of october. and that's one of the issues that the greater manchester mayor andy murray can tell mac had —— andy burnham. rishi sunak had made previous announcements in different scenarios. we were kind of seeing a glimmer of hope, whereas
11:37 pm
now we are seeing cases seeing a glimmer of hope, whereas now we are seeing cases rising in these restrictions coming forward. expecting a slightly bleaker outcome. things it certainly don't look good across the country, and i think that one of the things here is that whilst it will certainly be wellton if they were extra then measures “— wellton if they were extra then measures —— certainly be welcome. which really does matter, there's also people who as you say, as the furlough scheme widens down, looking out what will be in place for people looking at people in different employment brackets. it isn't enough at the moment, whether you're looking at the uk, we should be talking about much more than that or whether you're looking at sick pay or people who need universal credit. and as you suggest, there has been a major issue about regional disparity, which is something that
11:38 pm
is historically in the uk anyway. this goes back decades in terms of parts of the north of england, i know how perfectly well the northeast is neglected and it suffers bad konta questions —— consequences. suffers bad konta questions —— consequences. i does pose the question about why this has been such... there has been lots of time to plan for different scenarios and speak with lots of regional leaders. how much more conversation —— clear conversations, so i think it will be welcome if there are measures put in place. i would wait and see it what those are is and i do think the government should reflect on the way its conduct itself. you point out the regional tension lines across the regional tension lines across the country. anna, the times is pointing out something to do with the age discrepancy between what
11:39 pm
covid is doing. we've had accusations that young people are going out and not worry because there might —— they're not as affected. but the times has found as affected. but the times has found a really interesting survey. talk us through it. its government data that has shown infection rates are falling among young people, and the article says pa rt of among young people, and the article says part of this is down to young people actually being more concerned about covid, responding to the warnings and even responding to long covid and the fact that that can really affect people. even if you are really affect people. even if you a re less really affect people. even if you are less likely to die as a young person, you can be really affected for a long time. i think generally, we really need to have a look at the data. this is part of a wider picture. in some areas, infection rates are falling, particularly
11:40 pm
around the northeast. this could be because the spread isn't as bad as initially feared. it could be because some of the measures are working, but i think all in all, we really need to look at this very closely and see how proportionate are the measures that are being taken as a result. do we really need such stringent economic shutdowns which will have other long—term effects in terms of health and wealth? huge consequences. and whether or not it's justified. interesting to see that young people are beginning to heed those kind of warnings to restrict their going out, they're partying. i'm not young any more, i can't remember what it was like. i'm not young any more.
11:41 pm
you obviously are. i would also look at actually the evidence we do and don't have in terms of people sticking to the rules, because i think that whilst... cases of people breaking the rules and i do understand there's a fatigue, which i certainly understand and relate to, but i work in a university. all the young people i've encountered do treat this seriously, i think part of the thing that we should be discussing and thinking about is the disaster of sending them back to university without proper test in place. there warnings that these would happen, and whilst i agree that we should look at some of these areas where there seems to be declining rates, ialso areas where there seems to be declining rates, i also think there isa declining rates, i also think there is a warring national trend of increasing cases, of increasing day deaths. it is easy to become desensitized, but if you look at the figures, there are still under the people dying every day. i don't say
11:42 pm
that to scaremongering, i'm just saying it because it's very important that we recognise the scale of damage done by the virus and we really need that testing and tracing to be properly functioning in orderto tracing to be properly functioning in order to control the virus. but also thinking about those people who are vulnerable, often sort of dismissed, people who are older or have disabilities. we really need to think about this in a way that ensures that vulnerable groups are protected and also we're controlling the virus in the way we were told we will be able to. we haven't actually been able to do it with the second spike. i guess we need clear messaging as well, which the daily mail, and i, yoursister messaging as well, which the daily mail, and i, your sister paper has picked up on. convection from the lancashire police constable. this will be an eye—opener for the rest of us. this is a senior police chief who was giving evidence to mps and was asked to provide some
11:43 pm
details about a tier 2 —— tier 3 area, and he said he couldn't because he doesn't have the document in front of him. now, i think when the people who are meant to be enforcing this don't know the rules, what hope is there for the rest of us? and it really does point to a problem with the way this tiered system has been introduced. it was brought in to simplify everything. if you remember borisjohnson was asked at the press conference and couldn't recall the rules before the tier system came in, and then these three tiers were made to simplify all of that, create a simple... not as simple as stay at home, but still something we could all follow. and it clearly isn't working, and doesn't help that tier 3 is different in different areas. let's move on to a thank you —— thank you for talking us through that. the guardian says the england and man to
11:44 pm
manchester united striker, marcus rashford, has made his campaign to get recognition for it and encourage children to be comfortable with taking this as well. the way he talks about his mum, any mum would be so proud to have a kid like him. but today in the commons, the motion by the labour party didn't get passed for the free school meals.|j labour party didn't get passed for the free school meals. i had to say, ijust the free school meals. i had to say, i just join the free school meals. i had to say, ijustjoin marcus the free school meals. i had to say, ijust join marcus rashford the free school meals. i had to say, ijustjoin marcus rashford in complete despair. he shouldn't even have to be having this campaign, as honourable as i think it is. i think it is absolutely damning that one million children who are living in poverty are the children who would be covered with these measures, which would be extending free school meals to the holidays. if you watch the debate in the commons today,
11:45 pm
some of the things that were said we re some of the things that were said were absolutely appalling. blaming parents, saying they should be able to look after their children as if any parents wants to leave their child hungry. 0ne any parents wants to leave their child hungry. one thing is i think people will be looking at this and saying there is about 500 million, £12 billion went largely to private corporations for test and trace that isn't working we need it to. this money, the conservatives aren't willing to give to children, i think the second thing is a broader context. perhaps this is if we look at the broader issue, because this has increased drastically over the past ten years. we should be in a situation where the children are in poverty and therefore having to earn these free meals. nine children will be living in poverty in the uk, and was really is that there's a push in the debate from some mps to blame parents. what we actually know from
11:46 pm
the data is that seven in ten children are living in poverty and in working families, and this whole debate says something about the way our economy is not functioning properly and we shouldn't be in the situation were so many children are going hungry, or they situation were so many children are going hungry, orthey are situation were so many children are going hungry, or they are able to be given these short—term measures from government that offers them much longer issue that doesn't work for most people. we don't have much time, buti most people. we don't have much time, but i would like to get your reaction, and i. i think i time, but i would like to get your reaction, and i. i thinkl agree time, but i would like to get your reaction, and i. ithinkl agree on pretty much everything. i don't really understand why the government hasn't learned from the summer and the way it was push the point because it couldn't argue i2 the way it was push the point because it couldn't argue 12 billion on 12 test and trace. for children... i think what was really interesting and today's vote, the
11:47 pm
redwall mps, there were a notable five rebellion tories who voted with the labour motion, the most senior was rob halfon. it speak interesting at the government takes any action against this —— it will be interesting. they sent a script to mps on things they proposed, arguments to defend their policy. and it'll be interesting to see how this plays out, and i do think this is an issue that will come back to... that voters will remember, and in particular the for those mps who voted. potentially our last story, the financial times. brexit talks are back on. we can't get through a day without discussing brexit. this is really, this is that
11:48 pm
they're back in negotiations and there was some sort of rumbling about whether that would be a no deal. but now, they are back on the negotiating table. and still a numberof negotiating table. and still a number of points we will have to see if they are able to flush out, but the noise is at the moment are positive from both sides, so i think we'll have more of what happens in the next few weeks. the positive noises, what do you think will be the next story? some sort of deal when we get a resolution?” the next story? some sort of deal when we get a resolution? i think we are likely to see what we saw last year, to side engaging in extremely entire terms of talks. and we will get something, but the devil will be in the details. that means we've got just enough time to do the metro front page, with the pope.
11:49 pm
pope francis giving his blessing to same—sex civil partnerships. this is such a big deal when it comes to the catholic church. he's now said for the first time as the head of the catholic church, which i think is a really important thing to hear from the pope. but i think as it's being said, there is an issue in terms of what this means for change and what we really, really need to see his actual meaningful change in terms of how homosexuality is treated by the church to ensure the this is more thanjust warm words, moving away from homophobia. interesting the metro devotes its front page. what do you make of that? fair enough. thank you so much, in that case. we have run out
11:50 pm
of time. never enough time to talk to you two, but thank you so much for your comments. thank you to you at home as well forjoining us. i'll see you next time, bye—bye. hello, i'm katie shanahan. liverpool got off to a winning start in amsterdam, while manchester city came behind to win 3—1. here's andy swiss. the champions bidding once again to be champions of europe. liverpool had become a word for goal—scoring brilliance, but there opening events was less sublime. spare a
11:51 pm
liverpool weren't complaining. without the injured virgil van dyck, their defending was at times desperate. boy, it was close. and so was this, moments into the second half, . .. was this, moments into the second half,... a finals transfer i asked but they couldn't take it. meanwhile, manchester city's latest quest for that elusive champions league title began, and it didn't begin well. but porto's lead didn't last. a clattering challenge on raheem sterling and from the penalty spot sergio aguero just fired them level. and aguero scores. porto, though, were still posing plenty of problems and it took some
11:52 pm
serious scrambling from kyle walker to keep city level at the break. after it, though, they set about turning on the style. it is gundogan, its outstanding! as free kicks go, ilkay gundogan's was pretty special and so was this. we are going to have to end the sport as we go substitute ferran torres cooly completing a 3—1 win — a great start for city and one their manager, it's fair to say, rather enjoyed. andy swiss, bbc news. well, there was a real big shock in group b with 13 times champions real madrid beaten at home by shakhtar donetsk. remarkably, the ukrainian side were 3—0 up at half—time. real managed to pull two back after the break, but it wasn't enough. in the championship tonight watford are up to third after beating blackburn 3—1. elsewhere brentford are up to seventh after a 2—1 win at sheffield wednesday. new signing, ivan toney scored both of brentford's goals. that's the third time in a row he's managed two in a match.
11:53 pm
for the rest of tonight's championship results, just go to the bbc sport app. arsenal midfielder mesut ozil has spoken out for the first time since being left out of their 25—man premier league squad. he hasn't played for the club since march and can now only play for arsenal under—23s until his deal expires next summer. he posted an emotional statement on social media, claiming he's been shown a lack of loyalty. he says he's deeply disappointed and that "upon signing my new contract in 2018, i pledged my allegiance to the club and it saddens me that this has not been reciprocated. loyalty is hard to come by nowadays. no matter what, i will keep fighting for my chance and not let my 8th season at arsenal end like this." well, here's the response of the arsenal manager mikel arteta. he has had the opportunity like everybody else. i'm sad that i had to leave three players out of this list which is not replacement. i feel at the moment today that ifailed because i want the best possible message for the team.
11:54 pm
to do it and in some moments i was able to get close to that. and again, nothing related to anything or any behavior. i read the pay cuts, it's not true. it's my decision, someone has to play me and it will happen when we lose matches, my responsibility. wasps have been given the all clear to play in the premiership rugby final this weekend. that's despite seven players and four members of staff testing positive for coronavirus in the past week. bristol were on stand—by if wasps, had been unable to play. but premiership rugby reported that there were no more positives in the latest round of testing. wasps said they were "delighted" to find out they could take their rightful place in the match against exeter at twickenham on saturday. 0nto cricket as england's white—ball tour of south africa next month will go ahead. eoin morgan's side will play three twenty20s and three one—day internationals from the 27th of november.
