11:31 pm
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. .. on 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— france has announced a national lockdown and germany moved to shut part of its economy to try and combat the virus. scientists are hoping for a vaccine by chistmas. that's on the front page of the times. the government believes that a german vaccine backed by pfizer could be ready by then. the guardian leads with the story that up to ten per cent of england's population could be tested for coronavirus every week. on the front page of
11:32 pm
the independent, government ministers have been warned that deaths in the channel are inevitable unless safe legal routes are introduced. and on the front page of the daily mail, medics, business leaders and mps are warning that a second lockdown would devastate the economy. so let's begin... the headline there, france goes into second to and this is a hugely significant announcement from emmanuel macron. absolutely. the french president talked about the challenge that europe is facing as a whole and decided to take the decision to actually put france into more restrictive measures from tomorrow. which even includes the people having to produce documents if they are travelling around and
11:33 pm
many parts of the economy being shut down. this is all part of their numbers in france as it starts to increase significantly and he talked about today the fact that the country, as well as pubs in europe we re country, as well as pubs in europe were actually becoming overrun in the second wave. a very sombre message from the president of france, wasn't it? and hugely restrictive measures for a long time, a month. exactly. and it takes us time, a month. exactly. and it takes us right back to the kinds of restrictions we saw back in the earliest days of the pandemic, and his restrictions as many people were promised were supposed to be time—limited, supposed to be at least enough to get test entry systems up and running and in countries across europe not least the uk has seen such difficulties with test and trace systems, with the capacity can with logistics,
11:34 pm
with compliance and france is only one of those countries. germany as well as on the verge of imposing new coronavirus restrictions, it has seena coronavirus restrictions, it has seen a record ryzen infections. and as said in various places across the country they're tracing systems aren't working effectively, and it's aren't working effectively, and it's a massive, massive challenge not just for countries in europe but for across the world. in the front page of the daily telegraph mentions a little bit about the uk, it's interesting we've been talking of the last couple of days of the shape of the second wave. the first wave was this huge, high very sudden peak in deaths and flatten down with the restrictions came in. lots of the advice of the moment is perhaps the second wave want to reach that same level, want to reach that same peak but will last a lot longer through the winter. and that is something that people are going to be hugely frustrated with. this locked coming
11:35 pm
in across countries across europe, potentially for a long time to come. absolutely, and the challenge playing out on the front pages of tomorrow i really decisions the government have got to make, and the varying advice and calls for the government to do one thing or to do something else. and the different restrictions being in place with a very interesting that there's been lots of talk about tier 4 being rolled out, i hadn't even thought about it but i saw a tweet earlier today where someone was talking about how it's interesting that the lowest levels that has been actually graded in terms of the two is level one whichjust shows graded in terms of the two is level one which just shows you how many more levels the government could go to when they need to bring in more restrictions. that the moment the highest is three come there's lots of talk that nottingham which is go into more restrictive measures is actually going to a level four 43 plus. and it shows you how they can
11:36 pm
build several levels at a time at that curve flattens out. that numbers are still incredibly high. the battery on my hearing it has just run out, i did hear you. right let's go to the front page of the daily mail, slightly alternative ta ke daily mail, slightly alternative take as a part of this battle you we re take as a part of this battle you were talking about. between different advice the government have to try to listen to in the decisions they have to make. jessica, talk us through this, don't do it for boris! what is the daily mail arguing for there? arguing for the p.m. not to change strategy go for more stringent national lockdown in the way that france has done. at the moment does not seem to be much will in downing street to do that because they have only just in downing street to do that because they have onlyjust started having this tiered system commit to want to see how that plays out but they are very worried that the rates in areas which, even under the harshest tier
11:37 pm
3 restrictions, just not falling. and we have heard warnings in the past few days that may be the whole of england could be under tier 3 by christmas, and there's even some i’uitioui's may christmas, and there's even some rumours may be that there could have to be some circuit breaker over the christmas holiday and it would be really devastating to businesses. might be the only way to avoid over the massive surge over those weeks. and the pm is facing opposition from that on all fronts. he has battled local leaders about it and business chiefs want to be happy about it either, but his own mps have started to be agitating for a more clear road map out of restrictions. well, people in downing street say we can't stop talking about ways out of restrictions were we might need to impose new ones. that political
11:38 pm
decision, christmas is such an emotional time clearly and the pressure on the government to try and fix things in time for christmas will be huge. yes, and it's really... was really interesting as there's this growing debate of the element around business and the economy and the decisions about what we do. there are people very concerned about how much time into education was lost for children, and there's a section of the population now, i was talking to some friends this evening where people of a certain age particularly older people, there are some that are absolutely terrified and feel that they need to stay indoors and don't wa nt to they need to stay indoors and don't want to go out. there really worried about potentially catching the virus. as of the people that feel they had their liberties restricted for too long. and they decided that senior grandchildren for many months oi’ senior grandchildren for many months or weeks has just senior grandchildren for many months or weeks hasjust got senior grandchildren for many months or weeks has just got to end. and so this idea that christmas is sort of,
11:39 pm
because it's a big family time where you all get together, it's being seen as a you all get together, it's being seen as a really significant marker for many people, but what has emerged to date, thejustice secretary was the first to kind of suggest on record when talking on another tv programme that actually we are probably looking at not being able to have christmas as we would have liked it and it's time to start thinking about getting used to that idea. not particularly encouraging, the guardian punished as tempest of the guardian punished as tempest of the population each week amid soaring infection rates. this is the start of what had been done operation moonshot to do mass testing as a way to try to claw back a bit of normal life before the vaccine comes. and it would involve a massive logistical challenge to
11:40 pm
test 10% of the population, and after the ambition is even bigger than that to test for more people than that to test for more people than that. people are probably rightly going to have their doubts about this given that there has been quite a lot of pick—ups with the current test and trace system, and the quotes of directors of public health who are basically saying look, we are struggling as it is with capacity. and there's really no point in testing these large numbers of the population of this you're going to do something with the results. you need to improve compliance and the tracing operation. not to be all pessimism i think that if something like this kind of mass testing can work it has deftly got the champions. jeremy hunt, the formers health secretary said that this is the way out of this crisis. if the government can find a way to make it work efficiently then it is a good thing. but is that much more difficult when
11:41 pm
the numbers of cases goes up in death, test interest becomes almost impossible if the numbers are skyrocketing. how do you see this, do you see this political course from we all wanted to work but politically do you see this actually coming through given the difficulties we have had so far because of that was really interesting, and i'm only going by the front page, what i don't get is that only a few weeks ago we were being told that testing is only for people with symptoms, but the idea of this testing of people being tested on a weekly basis would almost suggest that people would be tested randomly, not having symptoms. which goes completely against where we were when the testing system was completely overrun only a few weeks ago when all the children went back to school, and suddenly whole groups of children and their parents are being sent off to test because there was somebody in the school or in the bubble that had tested positive.
11:42 pm
somebody in the school or in the bubble that had tested positivem actually i don't quite understand what the random testing with there are no symptoms actually does because it only gives you a snapshot at that day, you could develop symptoms two, three, four days later. it's a really tricky one because it will restrict liberties but we were talking about already reducing i4 but we were talking about already reducing 14 days in isolation down seven already. a really going to solve anything with testing as well? leslie of coronavirus there for the moment. can you to the front page of the independent, awful story we've been covering over the last couple of days. the headline, further channel deaths inevitable ministers told. yes this is this i believe the family of iranians trying to cross the channel who died. two of the children who drowned along with their mother, and probably a third child. a 15—month—old baby. and, you know, their story isjust one of
11:43 pm
many stories of people trying to seeka many stories of people trying to seek a better life in european countries, often in britain and being exploited by people smugglers. we are told that they tried to cross by train, and ended up paying huge sums to traffickers. and this is right that it's an issue that has plagued governments here for many, many decades. and until there are better and safer legal routes for people to claim asylum in bridgend than people are going to continue risking their lives. is a really powerful front page of the metro come the headline is blood money and at the top it says tragic final pictures showing the pictures there of the family. they're focusing there on the role the traffickers in all this. this is the biggest problem. people that are seeking asylum, it appears that this family
11:44 pm
were, the changes that people are desperate and are wanting to make a crossing across the channel, and ultimately it's these particular gangs trafficking families this family gangs trafficking families this fa m ily lost gangs trafficking families this family lost their lives. and paying extortionate amounts of money, £21,000 that they apparently sold all their possessions to get the money together. it is those gangs that need to be cracked down on. they are giving false help in putting people in real danger in order to get them across the channel. and it is something that fundamentally governments have failed to tackle, and it really does need to be dealt with. she not be seeing that sort of thing. should i be seeing pictures of children like that, just having an awful, awful time. and jessica there's been a
11:45 pm
huge rise in the number of crossings and attempted crossings just this year compared with last year even. seems very difficult to go to get this issue under control. edit such a difficult political issue. patel has suggested, and was really attacked for saying that she was potentially going to change the law to make it impossible to claim asylu m to make it impossible to claim asylum if you came here illegally. that is not what human rights groups say would be the right approach. they state you need to offer safe alternatives such as family reunion arrangements to make sure that people can meet there from the members if they are claiming asylum. ple nty of members if they are claiming asylum. plenty of people who entered this country illegally do have very, very firm claims or asylum because of the discrimination and oppression there facing in the countries they live m, facing in the countries they live in, orthis family facing in the countries they live
11:46 pm
in, or this family faced significant determination in iran as well as political oppression. and they will have had a good case to claim asylum. sometimes the hard—line approach does not work, and certainly the current approach lets people traffickers exploit the suffering of these people is not working either. we're going to go to the front page of the times, and this seems like on the face of it some good news in relation to coronavirus which is what we all want. yeah, this is can we see lots of reports of potentially good stories about a vaccine and it appears that progress is being made, there's been the astrazeneca trial going on. and this german drug in cooperation with pfizer, the boss said they're in last mile. they have
11:47 pm
a p pa re ntly said they're in last mile. they have apparently bought 20 million doses of the drug because it is seen as being the one that will be ready first. and apparently is already a plan being put together which is going to have the elderly and more vulnerable at the front of the queue, much like you do already. the thinking is that they may well be able to start vaccinations before the end of the year. it's a big deal. the government have pumped quite a lot of money into, trials going on. the plan was to get orders in fast and the result was that as a race in fast and the result was that as a ra ce a cross in fast and the result was that as a race across the world to get a vaccine. the country that comes up with that will claim lots of kudos and will get a big deal. the ukjust really hoping the astrazeneca trial would be very fruitful because in terms of being a world leader, as we leave the eu a big deal to have that on uk shores. however it looks like pfizer could be slightly ahead in
11:48 pm
germany. this will be a big deal. one of six drugs but reports the government have managed to get early access to. if you think of this as gaming the system and with the government have done is putting money into different vaccines saying we wa nt money into different vaccines saying we want to have a decent sized batch, this vaccine is 20 million doses but you need to doses of the vaccine. and with that there were only do 10 million people. next to last very long but it may well provide some relief to the much more vulnerable people. however can we do know in light of previous vaccines we have seen the big challenge is making sure that the people are convinced that it is safe to take. everyone is looking for some optimism around this. and we have heard probably a lot more in the british press about the oxford vaccine, and so i think there will be cheering to hear there's also
11:49 pm
another option coming down the tracks that's in the last mile. i think there's probably a bit of a perception among the public still that everyone can be vaccinated in a mass programme, and that, we can see from this that that is not going to happen. the head of the uk vaccine task force set is going to be earmarked for health workers, for the elderly, for the vulnerable and it could be quite a long time before healthy people, younger people are getting the vaccine as well. and as joe said a commode of the most important things government has to do now is a public campaign to make sure any kind of vaccine to nihilism does not do grip on people and that people know it is safe and is right to take it. and lots of logistical headaches had with that as well. thank you so much both for talking to the front pages of tomorrow posit papers there. jessica and joe thank you. and that's it from me for now.
