11:30 pm
process is well under way, whether the trump administration acknowledges his projected election victory or not. mr biden told reporters that donald trump's refusal to concede was an "embarrassment". mr biden was speaking as the us supreme court began hearing a case which could overturn obamacare. the president—elect promised to "dramatically ramp up" healthcare protection once he assumes power building on presideint obama's affordable care act. a vatican report has found that two popes ignored allegations of serial sex abuse by a now disgraced former us cardinal theodore mccarrick. the report found that popes benedict and john paul ii chose to believe the cardinal's denials.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the brexit editor of the telegraph, dia chakravarty and the chief executive of the left—leaning cross party think tank, demos, polly mackenzie. welcome back both of you. a few more front pages have come in, let's have a look through. there's one story dominating all the front pages. the metro headlines a member of the government's task force saying life could be back to normal by next easter, provided ministers don't ‘screw up‘ distribution of the coronavirus vaccine. the vaccine is also the headline in the telegraph, which says the nhs has been instructed to prepare for a mass vaccination of the public from the first of december.
11:32 pm
the guardian warns gp services will be cut next year in order to allow millions of people to receive the vaccine. the paper also features a picture of the former fa chairman greg clarke who's stood down from the role following ‘outdated' language he used to describe diversity in football the express leads with a vow from the nhs that they will be ready for a vaccination roll out from the start of december. the mail's headline is uk says yes to the jab, but "you must go first, boris," leading with a poll which suggests three out of four britons would take the covid vaccine but 40% want politicians to take it first to prove it's safe. the times says the aim would be to vaccinate 1 million people a week, and has a photo of borisjohnson on his first telephone call
11:33 pm
to the us president—electjoe biden. the first european leader to do a phone call with joe biden. nhs will get vaccine out by christmas and the daily express. a massive logistical operation but the nhs says it can do it. after all of the difficulties with test and trace, it really does feel like —— it really does feel like the nhs is geared up to deliver this and really put in place the logistical plans to how you might roll out of vaccine. we have been planning this in several months and beds of there being a vaccine. —— and advance. 10 million doses are likely to be
11:34 pm
delivered this year, which means the roll—out programme can start, but the challenge is that of that are enormous. we expect there may be more vaccines available this year, but this vaccine has to be stored at -70 but this vaccine has to be stored at —70 degrees, it has to have been given in two separate doses, which means you have to get everybody through the doors twice and we know that our health service is already under pressure. but they do have quite a detailed plan. they've made clear that its care home workers who will go first. doctors, nhs workers and over 80 ‘s. we know those are the groups that are most at risk. putting them first make sense. it's really reassuring to see these plans starting to scale up. we still don't know if that vaccine will secure regulatory approval, so this is all still kind of in theory, nevertheless it's as hopeful as we've been in months. a lot of nhs
11:35 pm
workers are exhausted from the first wave. a lot or six, a lot have been tested. it is going to be a big ask. certainly, absolutely. i don't think anybody should be in any doubt that this is a big ask, but now is the time when we are depending on the nhs, when we are looking to the nhs to provide the support they need. i think one of the other points probably brought up about other vaccines becoming available, that's an interesting one as well. it's not just... i think is the closest one that we have at the moment and the most hopeful, but i think the astrazeneca one is also scheduled to become available early next geared, which would mean that more groups might be able to be given the vaccine before too long, but of course that's not an answer to your
11:36 pm
question about the administration of it. of course, they will have to have the support they need in order for them to be able to do this task. let's go on to the guardian. 0nce once again, the consequences of the pandemic are destroying gp services. just as we seen in the hospitals, the routine elective operations have been either cancelled or postponed. now gp services will be hit quite hard. cancelled or postponed. now gp services will be hit quite hardlj think this entire crisis has exposed the fragility of our health system but also, the incredibly difficult trade—off invoices that has to be made always —— in choices. there is a lwa ys made always —— in choices. there is always a limited supply, even if we put more money in the nhs. because services have been so curtailed, because of coronavirus, they're shutting down collective surgeries.
11:37 pm
also, many fewer people putting themselves forward for appointments. the guardian also has data on the number, millions fewer people put forward for routine referrals for things like cataract surgeries or hip replacements. so, the build—up of the backlog in our nhs is already huge, and for the nhs to then in addition have to do this whole vaccination programme is going to put it under a normal strain —— enormous strain. it seems to me that we might need to start questioning the investment in this moon shoot mass testing plan, because if we have a vaccine, that's a long—term solution in a way that testing probably isn't because you can't carry on spending billions of pounds every week. maybe we need to stop oui’ every week. maybe we need to stop our pivoting so we can prioritise the time and effort spent by our public health staff and get them
11:38 pm
into the programme also. let's move on to the mail. this poll by the male, with growing groups of anti—vaxxers, that seems reassuring. more people are willing to take the vaccine the not, is that the point was white yes, nearly nine in ten. including nearly nine and ten elderly. it goes on to say they wa nt ten elderly. it goes on to say they want reassurance, they want to see the prime minister and the cabinet perhaps take it publicly. with their right arms, shirt sleeves rolled up. a good question would be to ask whether they fall on the vulnerable category, who the policy seems to offered to the certain groups of people who are most in danger of actually dying because of covid—19. electrically or physically? so, that
11:39 pm
will be an interesting question to see how people feel about actually coming forward and taking it. even though we're getting quite excited about the vaccine and rightly so, it's now not been tested for as long as vaccines normally are tested before they are administered. it's quite heartening that people are willing to take that risk and actually take the vaccine if it comes to that. but it's still... it'sjust quite incredible, i think, how the whole plan is going to unfold, i think next week we're going to see the stage by stage plan that the government seems to have in mind and how the plan is going to come together. and then may be, there will be a sort of campaign to get people more information so that
11:40 pm
they can make more informed choices and go forward, but all that needs to... it'sjust such an early and go forward, but all that needs to... it's just such an early days still and we still don't know how it's all going to come together. polly, you are nodding your head. we need to move on to the telegraph. foreign—born adults in mass exodus from uk, another consequence as we we re from uk, another consequence as we were talking about about the pandemic. talk us through this.|j talk us through this. i think it's profound in its impact on our economy for the best part of a decade, conservative governments have said they've want to get net migration under the hundreds of thousands and they failed and spent 300,000 in our population every year, and then disappear when they drop that, we've had three quarters ofa drop that, we've had three quarters of a million foreign—born people have left the uk. this is not to do with brexit, this is to do with coronavirus. people came here to
11:41 pm
work and they've gone home. britain is their home, if they want to... nevertheless, every single one of those people that wages not being spent and our economy. if those people do not return or are not replaced, that's a huge economic shock, even if we can get our economy reopened. and i think the uk is going to have to really consider as we go through brexit, trade negotiations designing our own immigration for the future, we cannot possibly sustain net decline in populations, certainly not of that scale if we want to maintain public services and attacks to support our ageing population. come back on that quickly. i'd like to make two points. i've actually had the chance to read the story and all sorts of detail. but one of the
11:42 pm
scary things about this is because of this pandemic, it's the young workforce that's being hit disproportionately. i think a large numberof disproportionately. i think a large number of people between 16 to 24 years old are suffering for this. but some of the stories in that article, some of the key studies point to, actually talking about people going back to countries like hong kong, the philippines, who came here to study. and then jobs weren't there, they couldn't get into the job market. i think this probably is a global phenomenon and if we look at our youth unemployment rates that have come up from the 0ns, compared to the euro zone, we're still under 596. to the euro zone, we're still under 5%. globally looking at it, we're not doing so badly yet. but can we actually see this through? coming come out of it unscathed? let's move
11:43 pm
on to the times. very happy picture of borisjohnson getting a phone call from joe biden. how significant is that, bearing in mind brexit and indeed, what barack 0bama said about brexit going back to the queue? can you hear me, polly? sorry. i cut out for a moment. i think it is significant. it is an uncharacteristic for from... polly, you frozen. i'm really sorry. try and dial back in if you can hear me. we were talking about this 40 minutes ago, dia. the first european leader to get a call from joe biden despite those warning about brexit. it is significant,
11:44 pm
isn't it? i'm sure it is, buti genuinely don't know that mr macron got the call before us or angela merkel. what that really mean they we re merkel. what that really mean they were suddenly less important and the eyes of the us... as i was saying, i think a lot of leaders do feel that. do you think it has to do with anything else? it has so much to do with politics. and journalism. everything! shoemaking! these are important partnerships. uk and us, uk and germany, us and france. these are important relationships that any resident of the white house, any occu pa nt of resident of the white house, any
11:45 pm
occupant of downing street would have to forge, would have to maintain. ithink have to forge, would have to maintain. i think it's a good story for us, but ijust don't know with the timing of the call. a special relation for both countries. we just got a few more questions. key number ten role in steak up... who used to bea ten role in steak up... who used to be a journalist for the daily mirror who just be a journalist for the daily mirror whojust up be a journalist for the daily mirror who just up as a chicken to talk to tory ministers —— dressed up as a chicken. he has come a long way from his early days as a chicken. number ten is trying to work and effective operation, and i bear no ill will towards dominic cummings, but i do worry that having a number ten
11:46 pm
that's structured to intensively around campaign skills will be problematic when it comes to governing, trying to influence and leave the hundreds of thousands of public servants. they should instead, in my view, and the public administration committee was holding on inquiry in parliament today, around how you build an effective number ten that can be an effective government. i'm afraid boris johnson's is struggling. i want to see them appoint really great public service leaders. is this more about getting brexit done, dia?|j generally don't know because brexit is on the trajectory and going the way it is going. we are going... the transmission period is going to end at the end of this year —— transition period. i don't know
11:47 pm
whether it's about getting brexit done or getting a team that the prime minister feels comfortable, happy working with. i don't know. there have been a few leaks earlier. i don't know if that has a role to play in it, or the prime minister wants more people can trust around him. it's all speculation, but it's an interesting story. greg clark quitting. let's look at the telegraph. prince charles will go for the first time for the commemorations in germany. they don't commemorate... they have their own national day of mourning. yeah, i think it's remarkable how far we have come as european peoples to heal the wounds of the second world
11:48 pm
war that we are able is countries who were such brutal enemies during that period, and to overcome the sense of horror and sorrow and outrage at the extraordinary harm done, particularly by the nazi government. but by the devastations of war. and i think it's a sign that peace in europe is here to stay. i think it's a symbolic an important moment and it's one thing i'm which we re moment and it's one thing i'm which were grateful that we have a royal family. dia, this comes two years after the german president laid a wreath at the centre, a symbolic show of solidarity and coming together after so much bloodshed. hugely poignant, and i think polly made a really good point of how far we've come. but i think how far...
11:49 pm
what an excellent job germany has also done in really steering its horrific history in the i and actually trying to move forward. the way they have looked at their horrific past is really interesting from a global point of view. the horrors that they've tried to ove rco m e horrors that they've tried to overcome in the way they've behaved since, i think it's worth looking into. national day of mourning for mark since 1952. i was reading in that piece on the front page of the telegraph, and indeed, both prince charles and camilla will be having a covid test before they go. thank you both so much for a second look at the papers. really nice to have you both on. i look forward to seeing you again soon, thanks.
11:50 pm
hello, i'm mimi fawaz at the bbc sports centre with your latest sports news. the chairman of the football association greg clarke has resigned after using offensive language while talking to mp‘s about diversity at a parliamentary hearing today. —— two mps. he had been called to give evidence to the department for culture, media and sport select committee on the premier league's bailout, to the english football league via videolink. clarke had been in the role since 2016 and in a statement following his resignation said...
11:51 pm
well, there's been plenty of reaction to the comments made by clarke, including from england defender tyrone mings. we don't necessarilyjust have to educate our kids on the society of today, or what you can or cannot say. but also people in greg's position, people that have lived in different cultures and lived in different times to what we are living at the moment, that phrase may have been acceptable once upon a time, but i think it probably highlights this comments and probably highlights even more than i could commit even more than what they can, even more than players or staff can. that we still have got a long way to go. while the comments made by greg clarke overshadowed the dcms meeting today, there were several issues discussed. the premier league chief executive richard masters was asked about the support that's been made available for lower league clubs. he insisted promises have been kept. we have made good all of our solidarity commitments of £110 million both last
11:52 pm
year and this. we have worked with efl to forward that funding to keep clubs in funds and the same goes for community and youth funding, funding to efl clubs totalling £90 million both last year and this. england have called up 17—year—old jude bellingham for the first time for their forthcoming matches against republic of ireland, belgium and iceland. the borussia dortmund midfielder has been added to the squad following the withdrawal of james ward—prowse and trent alexander—arnold through injury. bellingham was originally included in the under—21 squad, but will now link up with the seniors for the first time. manchester united defender luke shaw, has been ruled out, for the next month with a hamstring injury — picked up during their win over everton at the weekend. it will see the defender sidelined for upcoming premier league games against west brom, southampton and west ham,
11:53 pm
as well as up to three champions league group matches. defending masters champion tiger woods will be one of the early starters in the opening round at augusta on thursday. woods will play alongside former 0pen winner shane lowry. and with the masters being held in the autumn for the first time, having been postponed from it's usual start time of april, having been postponed from its usual start time of april, it's meant woods, has been able to enjoy being champion it's meant woods has been able to enjoy being champion for longer than normal. to have it this long is not the way i wanted to have it. i wanted to earn it back in april but we couldn't have that. but we have the opportunity to play this week which earlier in the year, we did not think we would have this opportunity. so, we are all very fortunate to be able to compete. meanwhile, there's no par three tournament, the day before play starts this year, so instead the players have been trying something a little
11:54 pm
different in practice. this was spain'sjohn rahm attempting a shot with the help of the water at the 16th hole. he even had to read the greens as well, but somehow he managed this. ulster‘s billy burns is in line to make his ireland debut in friday's autumn nations cup opener against wales. the fly—half is one of three uncapped players to be added to andy farrell's line up. he replaces jack carty. he's the brother of former england fly half freddie burns. leinster wingerjames lowe will also make his debut and jacob stockdale has retained his place at full—back. mumbai indians have won the indian premier league title with a five—wicket victory over delhi capitals in the final. mumbai, were set 157 to win, a target they reached with eight
11:55 pm
mumbai were set 157 to win, a target they reached with eight balls to spare with captain rohit sharma hitting 68. they're the most successful side in ipl history, having now won the title on five occasions. luke campbell's scheduled lightweight fight with ryan garcia next month, has been called off after campbell tested positive for coronavirus. britain's former olympic gold medallist had been due to take on garcia in december in california. promoters say a new date for the bout will be announced in due course. freya anderson has secured her third freestyle win of the season with victory in the 200m event at the international swimming league in budapest. anderson had missed the first isl match as she was isolating in bath but is making up for lost time, beating her idol, olympic champion federica pellegrini, to claim gold. earlier, london roar‘s duncan scott secured a late win in the men's 400m individual medley.
11:56 pm
and that's all the sport for now. hello. the mist and fog some of you've seen over the past few days, not as much of an issue over the next 24 hours or so. reason on wednesday behind that is that it'll be a little bit too windy at times, and that wind could bring in thicker cloud with rain in the north and west. these are the weather fronts responsible, they'll only slowly push their way through, so many eastern areas will be dry through the bulk of the day. but it is here across east anglia southeast that we start off with the coolest conditions and 1—2 mist and fog patches. they'll be fairly short—lived though, and will lift up and clear. as we said, much of wales, good part of england will stay dry. there could be some patchy drizzle in the west, but across ireland and into western scotland, rain will come and go all day. and you can just see this narrow band of bright colours — an indication there will be some pretty intense rain particularly during the afternoon. overall a fairly mild day,
11:57 pm
tempered somewhat by the breeze, and that wind will be strongest particularly towards the west. these are the areas that will see wind over 40 mph, it may be touching 50 mph at times. most gusty though on that bright band you can see there, the heavy rain pushing its way through eastwards across scotland, particularly across england and wales as we go through wednesday night and into thursday morning, allowing clearing skies behind, thankfully temperatures not dropping too much. as we go into thursday morning, coolest conditions, unlike on wednesday morning, will be in the west. wet weather to begin with on the far east of scotland and across east anglia. quite windy here, but that wind will clear away with the rain. that little brief ridge of high pressure, a window of fine weather perform more cloud and rain arrives. so for many of you, a dry day with some sunshine, as well. best of the sunshine and western areas through the morning make the most of it, clouding over into the afternoon. patchy rain and drizzle possible by the end of the day, heaviest of the rain and western scotland into the western northern ireland. a little bit cooler than recent days. as we go through thursday night and into friday, that rain will spread its way eastwards.
11:58 pm
it'll push through mainly during the night for many of you, lingering across some eastern areas first thing. sunshine comes out, a few showers in the west, but by and large, the daytime at least will be a dry day for many. again, a little bit cool in the breeze compared to how we start the week. but as we go into the weekend, low pressure close by with sets of weather fronts pushing through. we'll have to watch just how deep this area of low pressure gets into the northwest on sunday. could be particularly wild and windy here. so while there still will be some rain at times this weekend, better chances of sunshine between the downpours on sunday.
11:59 pm
12:00 am
this is bbc news. i'm tim willcox, with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. president—elect on the president — joe biden says donald trump's refusal to concede the election is an embarrassment. how can i say this tactfully? i think it will not help the president's legacy. britain's health secretary says the national health service could be ready to roll out the new coronavirus vaccine in weeks — but warned distribution would be a colossal undertaking. the logistics are complex. the uncertainties are real. and the scale of the job is vast. russian peacekeeping
