fr," ‘ur f~m15 ii‘ul‘ei in the north. really feeling the heat of the commitment of increasing investment and under the most extreme pressure of covid restrictions as well for a toxic mix for the tory mps that won some seats from the very first time in the general electric last year. cast your mind back to last december, it was all about coming onto the tory side and actually ——. there is a 93p- side and actually ——. there is a gap. it would be good if government --. eve, we are losing the clarity on your line. let's redial you. and then we will rejoin the conversation. so kezia, we are going to stay with the picture across the north and turned to the front page of the york shire post. perhaps many people not surprised by this. when

you look at some of the figures. the number of covid patients is far beyond the first wave. these are figures coming from south yorkshire hospitals. yes in particular hospitals. yes in particular hospitals and brought a room as well both seeing the number of patients in theirwards both seeing the number of patients in their wards with covid—19 is higher now than it was at any point during the first way. it's quite an interesting point because i think most people recognise infection rates are on the rise again. and they were heading into the second way. some how it doesn't feel quite as serious as it did last time. but here we have hospitals in yorkshire reporting that in the last month alone the number of people in hospitals increased by 10%. and is doubled over the last weekend. some really serious figures saying these hospitals are filled. they really can't text that many more people being admitted to them with covid—19. being admitted to them with covid-19. why do you think it is that people think it's not quite as serious as the first wave? have you had a sense of for that?|j serious as the first wave? have you had a sense of for that? i think there's a had a sense of for that? i think there'sa numberof

had a sense of for that? i think there's a number of different factors. the fact that so much of the economy is still technically bar, hospitality functioning where people are going about or considered to be the new normal. the reality is also that after six months there is also that after six months there is a great deal of fatigue around the new rules and restrictions. people arei new rules and restrictions. people are i think obeying them to slightly lesser degree than they were first time around. all of that combined with the fact that medical treatment has advanced quite considerably over the last six months. we've got new treatments and seem to suggest that people when they are infected are less likely to have long—term serious effects with or that they are going to be in intensive care for long periods of time. new drug treatment seemed to be giving us a sense that the disease can be treated in a slightly better, more competent fashion that it was at the start of the pandemic. all of these factors together have left people yelling well it's bad but it's not as bad as it was in march. their guard goes down and suddenly infection rates go up. interesting you say that. we saw a report that

involved what was taking place in the czech republic. they spoke to some of the public there and they we re some of the public there and they were saying oh we now know is just like a bad flu and we know how we are going to be treated. yeah, very reflective across the globe. daily telegraph, you mentioned treatments. news of a covid vaccine but with a caveat. it feels like every day now is that a story about a vaccine getting a bit closer. if feel like you're taking two steps forward and thena you're taking two steps forward and then a new newspaper story comes out and forces you to take one step back. that's a brilliant example of this. today where they telegraph our reporting that yes we might be close toa reporting that yes we might be close to a vaccine but the antibodies that it generates might only last three or 4—month. in fact they would become definitely less affected by a degree of 25% after three months. the suggestion in the telegraph here being that that could lead to people needing to be vaccinated at least twice a year. even more worrying perhaps though is that fall on

effectiveness of 25% over that three month period rises to 40% reduction in how effective it is if the people oi'i in how effective it is if the people on the receipt of the back are over 75 years old. that's the very group we really need this vaccine to work for. yeah, that did shock me. the people who needed the most, it does make wonder what's going on in the over 75 is that makes them lose their immunity quicker than other people within the population. absolutely. this story also indicates that both the army and the nhs will need to be utilised to roll out a vaccine whenever it's ready. but thatjob of out a vaccine whenever it's ready. but that job of making sure that everyone who needs it starts with nhs staff, the vulnerable getting the vaccine as quickly as possible that's twice as hard if you have to do it twice a year. real logistical problems coming down the track for the roll—out of the vaccine if and when we get it. scientists are saying the findings show that

britain was miles off a achieving herd immunity. until we get to that point and herd immunity. until we get to that pointand a herd immunity. until we get to that point and a vaccine may be twice a year, it does make you wonder, doesn't it? daily telegraph the picture story featured here. derbyshire will break a rule of six at christmas. your thoughts? yes, i have very mixed feelings about this. this is running across two different papers that we've yet to know the full detail. this is the prominent bbc director saying she's going to break the rule of sick so she can have a family christmas. i worry about that a great deal because it is much as we need our politicians to hold the line and talk about the importance of these rules politicians aren't the only message carriers that we the people trust and look up to for guidance. people in that medium permanent figures like victoria derbyshire have done so much good to promote major campaigns of the air and she's gonna try to instill a sense of always can be ok for one day have christmas with who you like that i worry that that might break the sense of the

rules that can be broken. there are consequences to pay for it. we know fine well that the disease is going to observe christmas holiday is going to be as rapid as ever. and that's why we need to stick to the rules. we don't have the full details of the stories but that will be printed later today. kezia can i just a huge thank you. that was a marathon chat they're covering and helping out. because we did u nfortu nately, lose helping out. because we did unfortunately, lose eve. thank you very much. hopefully the lines will be established again at 1130. until then, thank you. until then, thank you. that's it for the papers. coming up next it's sport. good evening, i'm gavin ramjaun, and this is your latest sports news.
