10:30 pm
we realise that more to yet? we realise that more accountability is needed. democrats said they tech was not inert to estate news and it is republicans of trying to bully tech titans. this is a scar on this committee and the united states senate. we are seeing an attempt to bully the ceos of private companies. but away from the hearing the debate was about something far more important to the featured silicon valley, something called section 230 which says no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher. without 230, platforms could be held liable for everything people say and face much better pressure to take them content to avoid legal risk. i would urge the committee to be very thoughtful about any changes to section 230.“ section $230, the responsibility for
10:31 pm
what you say could follow—up the feet of the tech giants, which could mean your favourite social media platforms could look very different in the years to —— what you say four defeats. marcus rashford has been making the news for his free school meals campaign this week but his scoring prowess is making the headlines. his hat—trick helped secure victory for manchester united in the champions league against german side rb leipzig. chelsea were also victorious against russian side krasnodar. from the front pages to the back pages, you can't keep marcus rashford out of the headlines. his manchester united team were soon ahead against leipzig, a first champions league goal for mason greenwood, stilljust 19. with the composure beyond his years. but after the break, off the bench, enter rashford, with stunning results. his first was initially ruled out for offside but replays show he was on.
10:32 pm
cue the celebration. barely a minute later, guess what? the second for rashford and united were out of sight. after an anthony martial penalty, rashford duly completed a remarkable hat—trick. an unforgettable night for him and a 5—0 win for united. in russia, meanwhile, just look at this. more than 10,000 home fans cheering on krasnodar against chelsea. although the visitors in pink one an early penalty, jorginho spluttered from the spot. it was an early letter which the krasnodar keeper clearly enjoyed, but societies say he did not enjoy theirs, callum hudson—odoi putting chelsea ahead, to the delight of at least one fan but the dismay of the keeper, not his finest moment. after the break, chelsea cruised clear, a penalty from timo werner before
10:33 pm
hakim ziyech put the result without doubt. christian pulisic rounded off a 4—0 win. it might have been a long trip, but it was certainly worth it. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejessica elgot, the deputy political editor of the guardian and political strategist jo tanner. tomorrow's front pages, starting with. .. 0n the front page of the daily telegraph, it says france will be plunged into a second lockdown after president macron said europe was being overrun by a second wave of coronavirus. similarly, the financial times headlines france and germany—
10:34 pm
france has announced a national lockdown and germany moved to shut part of its economy to try and combat the virus. prime minister boris johnson is under pressure to introduce ‘fire break‘ across england after figures show almost 100,000 people a day are becoming infected. 0n the front page of the independent, government ministers have been warned that deaths in the channel are inevitable unless safe legal routes are introduced. front routes are introduced. page of the daily mail medin mps front page of the daily mail medics mps warrant a second lockdown would devastate the economy. so let's begin... predictive leave coronavirus dominating the front pages. the front page of the daily telegraph as i mentioned, that headline france goes into second lockdown. it was a big announcement by president emmanuel macron. jessica, do you
10:35 pm
wa nt to emmanuel macron. jessica, do you want to kick us off with what's happening there in france? macron said he's going to apply a brutal break on coronavirus infections because of the search they are seeing in france. they really worrying surge. it says measures the country has ta ken worrying surge. it says measures the country has taken so far have been useful but not enough. and it needed to but beat much stricter. that's will mean schools will remain open pretty much every other social contact is reduced to only necessary journeys for food or medical needs. although i think some offices are going to remain open, as well. it is really taking us back to the kinds of restrictions we saw in this country and across europe and across much of the rest of the world in the early days of the pandemic. and macron said if the virus continued to increase at the current rate then france is not intensive care beds
10:36 pm
would be overwhelmed by mid—november. obviously, that's a lot a narrative a lot of countries are seeing. germanyjust impose new restrictions as well. germany has been seen as one of the countries dealing the best with this pandemic. yes it shows... let'sjust dealing the best with this pandemic. yes it shows... let's just pick up on that. i want to bring you in here because it's important to show what's happening in the uk. but france and germany almost in unison announcing these much stronger restrictions now. interestingly macron actually said about europe being overrun. and d scribed the countries in europe being in a similar place. there has been a lot during this pandemic a lot a comparison between different leaders and how they handle things. this is on was the first time that a leader in europe has tried to suggest that actually this is a problem we are all facing. and not that sense of one upmanship and who is doing
10:37 pm
better than anyone else was up which we've seen this constant comparison stops interestingly, france has got more deaths per 100,000 over the la st more deaths per 100,000 over the last few weeks than britain. but germany has been behind us. actually, there's been a sense that the other two countries have kinda gone ahead of us in terms of what they've decided to do. interesting. let's return to the uk. the front page of the daily mail. it's interesting. it's a really challenging difficult debate. calls for restrictions. we seen that coming in france, and germany and of course we've seen in the uk two. wales is essentially under eight lockdown at the moment. the front page of the daily mail, don't do it boris. this is a plea from the other side. yes and it shows reallyjust how difficult the decisions facing the government are over the next couple of weeks. there is this pressure from business and from the
10:38 pm
media but probably they think that concerns boris johnson media but probably they think that concerns borisjohnson at media but probably they think that concerns boris johnson at the media but probably they think that concerns borisjohnson at the most of all is the pressure that's coming from his mps. particularly mps in northern seats which are under much stricter lockdown measures then the rest of the country. saying that what we need in fact rather than stricter restrictions is a road map to see how these places get out of the tougher curbs on everyday life. if you speak to people and down his stra kes to say if you speak to people and down his strakes to say hang on a minute we can't set a road map for that yet when christ two cases are climbing when christ two cases are climbing when what were really concerned about is getting them down and make it your people follow the rules. it's really not an easy situation to judge over the next level of days even. can i try to make that judgement how word would you be if you were the government about the whisperings from your own mps now?|j think whisperings from your own mps now?” think very worried. one of the biggest challenges is this suggestion of a circuit breaker that
10:39 pm
emerged only a few months ago. and was continuing this narrative of two weeks. two weeks of somehow stopping things was going to be some miracle cure. actually what was interesting is that what a lotta people forgot in the nuance of the two week lockdown is yes, you might have a lockdown is yes, you might have a lockdown for two weeks but it takes a wiles of the dater to come through. it would take longer than two we e ks through. it would take longer than two weeks to work out if things were having an impact and then work out what the measures were affected how you would get out of it. the challenge now is really how long do these measures stay in place? we've heard chris whitty talk about restrictions being in place until july. we heard their prime minister the idea of something being placed six months. the uncertainty is becoming a huge problem. treat the numbers, if you shut the whole country down when other parts of the country down when other parts of the country don't have or at least didn't have a few weeks of particular high numbers, we are rate was seen
10:40 pm
particular high numbers, we are rate was seen as particular high numbers, we are rate was seen as being an acceptable level, the challenge now is that even in places such as the south, the transmission rate is now on the increase. so the original thinking was don't do a national lockdown because you put part of the economy that do not need to go into that into the shutdown. which then will affect them very adversely. actually it's not working anywhere from the way the numbers are going. let's look at one last coronavirus story because there is potentially a glimmer of hope or at least vaguely more positive. front page of the guardian the front page reads plan to test 10% of population each week. and it soaring infection rate. jessica, can you pick through this for us? this is the sort of, latest idea that we may be able to emerge from this crisis. barring a vaccine. which may take a lot longer to come. it's about masked testing, testing about 10% of england's population every week. so with these 30 minute
10:41 pm
quick saliva test. boris johnson's operation moonshot plan which has been, there is been raised eyebrows about it. it's in an extraordinary endeavour to try and test even 10% of the population every week. but it would be a considerable increase in the current numbers we are testing now. and the logistical challenge is immense. it may well be the way out of this crisis. and it's backed by people like jerry hunt, of this crisis. and it's backed by people likejerry hunt, the former health secretary who chairs house second committees. he's very in favour of it. if it works it would be marvelous. it would be marvellous but the problem is as soon as the rates and the infection rates gets a bow of a certain point, the actual logistical task of tracking and tracing is just too difficult, is logistical task of tracking and tracing isjust too difficult, is it a? yes actually it's patrick vallen said last week at one of the downing
10:42 pm
street press conferences actually when you get the numbers to high track and trace becomes less effective. it's when the numbers are lower than track and trace is actually more helpful. it can be interesting to see what this is going to do. the challenges of testing, i recently had coronavirus i tested positive. testing, i recently had coronavirus itested positive. i managed testing, i recently had coronavirus i tested positive. i managed to get a test locally within15 minutes of going onto a website and got the result in about 60 hours after the test. which in my view wasn't bad compared to where i've been. the idea of testing could be turned around far quicker will have a huge impact was up at the moment, i was forced to stay at home. my son had to stay at home although he had no symptoms. so for two weeks he barely learned a thing it's cool. it's these other challenges that are added on. it's notjust the actual infection is the other things that happen. the isolation for people, the restrictions on peoples freedom. and it's lost education and other things that come along with that and mental health challenges. the damage
10:43 pm
more widely to society is being felt more widely to society is being felt more acutely. particularly dark nights and people feeling more isolated as winter sets in. the idea that could be quicker testing than release people or could spot those people the mv recently who was supposed to isolate and didn't and even when tested positive decide to get on the train. we were perhaps the empress control some of those things where people are actually spreading a virus potentially when they are not thinking through what they are not thinking through what they should be doing. thank you for that. the front page of the independent, following up a story we've been covering here. the awful story of the last couple of days. jessica, do you want to talk us through this? eight moving things in a slightly more depressing direction, i suppose. a slightly more depressing direction, isuppose. further channel desk inevitable ministers are told. yes, this is after this
10:44 pm
absolutely tragic story about at least four iranians of the same family including two children. and what we suspect to be three of their children including a 15—month—old baby. who died when the vessel they we re baby. who died when the vessel they were using to try and cross the channel sank. there is so many appalling details coming out today about the way it's been terrible weather and the way that smugglers took that risk, happy to heard families into boats to cross the channel knowing that they lives are at risk. there is lots of reporting from the south of the bbc when you see people interviewed over in france saying they are still prepared to take that appalling risk. of course that headline is true that more deaths are inevitable and less there is a way to stop this appalling trafficking of human beings. we are going to stick with
10:45 pm
the story but it's really powerful front page of the metro. i want to show that if we have that available. the headline is blood money. it's the final tragic final pictures. it's really heartbreaking front page from the metro. in a really challenging, difficult issue focusing on here on how do you stop traffickers? absolutely. it the details i came out today that the family sold lots of their possessions to raise over £20,000 to pay for that journey. we possessions to raise over £20,000 to pay for thatjourney. we can't possibly imagine what those people we re possibly imagine what those people were going through. what would be going through their minds. what was their quality of life that they decided that that amount of money and that degree of risk, do they relate not, i suspect those people really don't understand what risk they are taking it up and what promises are made to those people do they think the vesicles are
