a call for coronavirus vaccines to be available for all — as leaders from the world's biggest economies meet for an online summit hosted by saudi arabia. boris johnson faces questions about whether he tried to tone down an independent report which said home secretary priti patel broke the ministerial code by bullying staff. none of us want to see bullying or poor practices within the workplace, and the home secretary has been clear that she would never want to do that intentionally. the government is to change how it invests in big spending projects, to ensure the north of england gets a fair share of the cash. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster penny smith and the sun's

chief sports reporter martin lipton. whojoins us from who joins us from the boardroom by the looks of things. welcome to you both. let's start with the telegraph, and it warns that a stricter tier—system is to be introduced in england, after the national lockdown ends on second december. the same story makes the front page of the sunday mirror, which dubs it, "the fright before christmas". the express says borisjohnson is facing a showdown from his backbenchers, who may refuse to back the tough new coronavirus restrictions. and, the observer reports on legal action targeting the government's choice of key figures in the fight against covid—19, including the head of nhs test and trace. let's begin then with the sunday telegraph. lockdown to end next week but stricter tiers on the way. i don't suppose many thought it would bea don't suppose many thought it would be a free for all and go back to how

life was in march. exactly. i don't know about you, martin, but i have been having discussions with all my mates and we all said it would be extended in some way. i suppose we've got a bit more flesh on the bones now. we have been told there will be more places in the higher tiers, but there might be these freedom passes. this is amongst the suggestions, is that there might be these freedom passes if you get two macro negative coronavirus tests a week and you can kind of live normally as possible. these passport makers could give travellers certificates. i don't know how that would work but anyway, greater minds than mine. and partly i think it is also because they have looked at this and said a quarter of us say we will break rules to see family and

friends this christmas day and i am surprised it's only a quarter, because from my rudimentary survey, i would say it is larger than that. yes, i think people feel they really need some respite, don't they come at christmas. we are hearing the prime minister was set out its plan to parliament on monday including proposals for christmas gatherings. they had to be realistic, martin, but they also had to be worth having. if you are to relax there is no point in having a restriction.” really am concerned at this desperation in behalf of a number tend not to be depicted as the grinch on front pages in the build—up to christmas because that seems to be all what it is all about. if we are going to have a five freefall which will be followed by another month of lockdown that strikes me as unutterably stupid and self—indulgent and completely wrong,

andl self—indulgent and completely wrong, and i am totally opposed to it and i understand people want to spend some time together, we all do, nobody wants to be locked up at home with just their families but there are greater concerns than a five—day party. and i think we've got to be willing to make one last sacrifice for the good of the whole country. i really believe that. these passports that penny just really believe that. these passports that pennyjust mentioned though, martin, hopefully we can hear you better. it's just the technology. to get one of these passports to say you are free to travel you have to have two tests a week. the logistics of that are pretty mind blowing. have two tests a week. the logistics of that are pretty mind blowingm strikes me as being difficult to see how you can make that feasible because if 10 million people want to test their weight, that is 20

million tests a week. there isn't a capacity for that. because that is oi'i capacity for that. because that is on top of those who need tests for other reasons. wishful thinking may be. the sunday telegraph, the archbishop of canterbury is taking a sabbatical. no, he's not taking a sabbatical. no, he's not taking a sabbatical right now. i thought, in the middle of a pandemic? but he is doing it from me until september next year. one final point about christmas because jesus next year. one final point about christmas becausejesus was reputed to be born in april, so maybe we could do what martin suggests and 90, could do what martin suggests and go, april is a much nicer time to go for a walk after the turkey, maybe we don't need to have turkey at all. a sabbatical may to september next year, he will spend time at what he calls his happy place which is a six bedroomed house in a remote hamlet in normandy in france and he will go and study and pray and reflect. and

i think there will be lots of people saying, my goodness, that sounds blissful, but apparently they do. it is every seven to ten years, that is the sort of thing you can do and one of the previous ones wrote a book about it. would you like a sabbatical, sabbatical?” about it. would you like a sabbatical, sabbatical? iwould about it. would you like a sabbatical, sabbatical? i would love a sabbatical. would you go to a ha mlet a sabbatical. would you go to a hamlet in normandy?” a sabbatical. would you go to a hamlet in normandy? i need to find a happy place clearly. weirdly i am in mind right now. and i'm not even joking and that is how sad my life is. i love my colleagues. and you. the sunday express, martin, lockdown ultimatum. mp saying show us the evidence if you want us to accept these tiers. 70 of them have written a letter to the prime minister

saying give us the proof, tell us why we had to do this. they can afford to do that knowing labour have no option other than to back the government on this given the sta nce the government on this given the stance keir starmer has taken throughout. and has continually called for more aggressive anti—virus measures so i can't believe that labour won't be supporting the government which allows the tories to get freedom and goodwill. we know there are issues, we've had these concerns amongst tory mps and they feel this is unreasonable and an actionable curtailment of basic human rights effectively. i think that is a little bit of a strong position but ican little bit of a strong position but i can understand why. they are people who believe in the freedom of the individual and they feel it is being wrongly blocked by the government. and also the damage it does to people in other ways, the

isolation, you worry about the economy and whether they will have a job at the end of it all. it is so much and it is notjust about that. that statement, it needs to be shown that it saves more lives than it gusts. eh, that is really difficult in any way shape or form to actually prove that. we all know empirically we know that people are missing cancer we know that people are missing ca ncer tests, we know that people are missing cancer tests, i've got family members who haven't been able to get test and for lots because of the effect it has all been stopped. so you do have to put it in perspective, what else is being... people living in pain, people who are lonely. the one good thing about this a lockdown that we learn from the first one is you can bubble up with someone, if you're on your own, you can bubble up with someone else who's on your own. at least we have that whereas before it was total

isolation and that, we also had to live life. let's look at the observer. government appointments in the spotlight, martin. johnson acted illegally over jobs for top the spotlight, martin. johnson acted illegally overjobs for top antico viv staff. these are allegations. in a court case brought by the noted fox lover, the talk about killing one in his garden. he is questioning the provenance of the appointments of dido harding, kate bingham and a chap called mike who who in their roles with test and trace and the vaccine, appointments which have been questioned by many people. two of them married to tory mps, what justification is there for these

large sums of money being handed over and the suggestion that is a call for a judicial review which would be hugely embarrassing if successful for the government. and then you save the caveat to that is if it were to be successful and there is a huge legal hurdle to overcome , there is a huge legal hurdle to overcome, i do think it is interesting to see that people are taking this legal case. if you rememberwe had taking this legal case. if you remember we had the issue last year with the government fighting very strongly against the supreme court declaring its propagation of parliament illegal. if this was found, if these challenges were to be upheld, all hell would break loose from government. there have been a lot of concern is notjust about the money changing hands but how efficient, how successful some of these services have actually been, penny. and that is the problem, isn't it? if you had these

people and they did a cracking job, i don't think people would be pointing the finger quite as much as they are. since these things haven't been successful and in some ways have been risible, i think there are these allegations, it is not as though it is something new. the problem is of course that we are in difficult times, for goodness' sake, how many times do i have to say, uncharted territory and the point is people get appointed because of the fa ct people get appointed because of the fact they do know them and they go, i know their work and i know them, because people meet them at parties or whatever else, or they are friends of theirs or they are married to people. so they say, at least i know where i am with them, but it is, it's just... least i know where i am with them, but it is, it'sjust... if least i know where i am with them, but it is, it's just... if things are not working, of course people will look at the money and say, how

come we are giving money to these people? there was no open advertising process for these posts and they just advertising process for these posts and theyjust got appointed. let's quickly look at what is on the independent stop top conservation groups demand 620 invest in nature to stop pandemics. conservation groups thinking that public opinion is with them. i think people are. i had never even heard of lunatics and the more we encroach on animals, the environment, the rest it will get —— zoonotics. it has made a lot of people take stock about what their priorities are. we have two, yes because we cannot live our lives as we dip them before. we will not

return to the old normal. we've also got to recalibrate how we exist, how we coexist with the planet, how we look to build our survival as a species going forward and all of these elements have got to be taken into account. that's it for the papers for this hour. norrie on twitter would like to see you, penny, wearing the top hat that is behind you next hour. could you show it to us just quickly. we will wait. 6ives us something to look forward to. stay tuned for the next edition of the papers at 1130. coming up next it is quick.

welcome to click. i know, i'm not on the sofa! don't panic, though — i brought it with me. no, i've not made a dash for it. i'm in an electric car on a 300—mile trip across the uk. this is a lockdown mission to find out if an electric vehicle revolution is about to happen. across the world, governments are putting up ambitious targets for environmentally friendly transport. the eu aims to reduce its greenhouse gases by 80% in the next 30 years and electric vehicles are a big part of that plan. the uk this week announced its ambition to stop selling cars that are wholly powered by petrol and diesel by the year 2030. so, many more of us, it seems,

will be buying electric cars in the next few years, and lara has some tips for you on that later in the show. but first, i'm off to a place which may hold the key to the future of european electric cars. cornwall is known for its fish, its stunning views and its tourism. but all that is changing. traces of an element discovered in cornwall in the 19th century have suddenly become rather important. this is lithium mica granite, and the important word there is ‘lithium'. as in the lithium ion batteries in your phone, in your computer and your electric car. and some think that cornwall

may be the best place in europe to supply it. there is lithium in the czech republic, but the boss of one company realised that the rock here in cornwall was made of the same stuff. we followed it up with a field trip and the first rock that andrew picked up had ore—grade lithium in it. british lithium is prospecting here in cornwall and once they find a rich seam of lithium mica granite, they plan to build an open clay mine, a lot like this one. what's the ecological impact of a mine like this? the footprint of a mine is actually very small, so the mine we're proposing will produce about a third of the total lithium requirement to the uk, should the whole industry transform to an electric one from internal combustion. and the quarry will be quite modest — much smaller than this, actually. most of the development is a refinery. there are obvious advantages of

a country making its own products, rather than importing them. but there's actually another very important reason why batteries specifically need to be home—grown. lithium batteries are very bulky, they're heavy and a dangerous good to transport. a model s tesla has half a ton of battery in it, so it's a major component of the car, so battery makers co locate with electric vehicle makers. you picture a tesla factory — they've got chemicals and metals going on one end and cars driving out the other. now, if we want to have an electric car industry in the uk, we have to have a battery industry here. so what things can we do to attract a lithium battery industry in the uk? one thing is to have the only domestic source of the major component in europe. there's none produced in the whole of europe. and so it could be that cornwall, along with the czech republic, become vital as europe's hunger for lithium grows. so the amount of lithium we need

in the uk and also globally is going to increase dramatically over the next few years. so we calculate by 2035, we'll need five times as much lithium as we are mining now, so that's quite an increase. this week, i've been putting four of the latest smartphone cameras to the test to see how they stack up. the iphone 12 pro max, the 6oogle pixel 5, the huawei mate a0 pro and the iphone 12. i've been using the mini version but it has the exact same camera as the regular size iphone 12. let's talk about lenses and the trendy thing at the moment is to add a super wide lens so you can zoom out and fit a bit more into your picture. i actually prefer a telephoto lens because i feel that you can't always get closer to something you want to zoom in on, but you can quite often take a few steps back to get further away. all four of these phones have a super wide lens but only two of them have a telephoto lens and huawei's has the

biggest optical zoom. here's how that looks in practice because i saw some ducks in the park and i took these photos from about two metres away. here's as close as i could get without digitally cropping on the iphone 12 and the pixel 5. now here's the 2.5 times zoom on the iphone 12 pro max, we're getting a bit closer. but look how close i got with the huawei camera! this duck was working my camera! 6orgeous! laughs. and this really does make a difference. later in the park, i saw a squirrel and my instinct was, quickly, grab the huawei! and this is how it turned out. and this was taken on a camera phone. so the zoom here blew the other phones out of the water. to test the phones in low light i went into central london after dark which, as you can imagine, is pretty much deserted at the moment, apart from every now and then you'd see a social media influencer and their camera operator striking a pose and having a little photo shoot. i went down to the tate britain which at the moment is lit up for diwali. all of these were taken on the super wide cameras and all of them looked great,

although i think the huawei just edges ahead because take a look at how much detail it preserved in these beautiful tiles. those were the super wide shots. with the regular wide camera, apple and huawei both say they've made improvements this year to let in more light. here are some photos from the wide cameras, both iphones took a decent shot, the pixel did too, although again, it was darker and grainier than the others, and then the mate a0 pro captured this and i was blown away. look again how much detail is preserved. i also took some portrait mode shots here which came out very nicely. you'll notice the one from the iphone 12 pro max is more zoomed in because it defaults to the telephoto lens for portraits. i have to say, both iphones and the pixel captured quite a lot of lens flare from these neon lights. i didn't mind in this particular context, it looks quite artistic, but the huawei didn't have any lens flare. in fact the mate a0 pro was so consistently impressive that, whenever we were taking extra shots or i wanted a quick one done of me

in a nice location, i'd say, let's do it on the huawei, it's going to get the better shot. of course, there's more to a phone than just the cameras. the elephant in the room is that huawei still doesn't have access to 6oggle play services due to the us trade blacklist and that means many of the most popular apps are missing from the platform, including from its own huawei app gallery. but there's no denying that when it comes to the camera, at least from my testing, the huawei one is a generation ahead of the competition. there's been a rapid increase in the number of electric cars sold in the uk and i'm talking pure electric. almost double were sold this year compared to last. but for many of us, buying an electric vehicle is still a new experience and there are a few things that you need to think about. electric is great in the city and over recent years, there's been an increasing number of charging points emerging on our high streets. but for longer journeys, things can

get a little bit trickier. the range an electric car can drive before needing a boost has increased greatly. there are now many on the market, advertised to be able to do around 280 miles on a single charge. while all electric cars show a calculation of how long you should be able to drive for, they're rarely accurate. but if you do run out ofjuice on a longerjourney then most motorway service stations do have chargers. and in the majority of cases, they will have rapid chargers. but rapid means different things to different cars. it's not only about how fast the charging point is, but also the speed your car can charge. the combination determining how long a stop you'd need to make up the services. most motorways have 50 kilowatt chargers. an average electric car would be able to boost its battery by 90

miles in half—an—hour at one. here on this forecourt though the chargers can triple that power. one other thing to know, your battery can only do the fast charging up to a certain point. when it reaches about 80%, the charging slows right down. if i'm taking the car on a long journey, i need to first check to see where the chargers are and if they're working and then i need to plan for the charger beyond that in case they're busy, and often when i get to the charger, they're not working properly or they're taken by somebody else and i have to use my contingency plan. so planning is definitely required to drive long distances. but if you are near a motorway and you have some time to spare, you should be ok. in rural areas, though, the electric car revolution may be harder to kick—start. to boost driver confidence, it's now essential that the infrastructure reaches across the country.

if it's not done right, once again, rural areas risk being left behind. price has been a major sticking point for electric car ownership. but in recent years, have they actually become cheaper to own? we've tried to simplify the figures based on a mid—range car over the course of four years. buying this electric car over the same model with petrol would set you back around an extra a0%. yet the electric should depreciate less, have lower running costs and no road tax. you're likely to spend around a quarter on electricity than what you'd spend on fuel. evs are expensive but if you think about it, you know, if you look at a mobile phone, that's a £500 or £600 device. so actually what you're finding is that paying for it as you go, so the phone, the insurance, and the text and data, is a way you're happy to pay for that, it's then a mobile device

as a service. so with evs, bundling a monthly price — with the car, the insurance, the service, the maintenance and energy — could be the way actually we consume cars in the future. that was lara and that's it for the shortcut of our ev special. the full length version is up on iplayer right now. it's been an adventure, i can tell you, being out on the road again. back to the sofa next week, i guess. in the meantime, you can get in touch with us on facebook, instagram, youtube and and twitter — we live @bbcclick. thanks for watching. and we'll see you soon. hello there.

on saturday the southern half of the uk had mild, cloudy weather. it certainly felt colder in the winter. in between those different sorts of weather you had this frontier. it is heading further south and it's allowing that colder air to move further south across more of the country. as we head into early sunday these are the temperatures we are looking at, down to one or 2 degrees across eastern scotland, north—east england and northern ireland. milder in southern england where we have a lot of cloud. the thick cloud and pockets of light rain or drizzle never too far away. elsewhere there is decent sunshine, showers, mainly northern ireland, more frequent showers coming to northern and western scotland. the winds will ease through the day, but temperatures typically around seven -10 temperatures typically around seven — 10 celsius and those temperatures

will fall quickly again across more sheltered eastern areas with those clearer skies. still a fuchsia was continuing out to the west and we need to look to the west to see where our weather is coming from early next week because atlantic winds, south—westerly winds are heading our way and they will bring rain as well. a bright enough start for many eastern parts, a bit chilly early on monday. cloud will increase, rain here and there, most of the rain sitting in over the hills of western scotland, some for northern ireland as well and temperatures creeping up to around 9-11 c temperatures creeping up to around 9—11 c so getting milder. into tuesday and the rain is still stuck mainly across scotland and northern ireland. 6enerate dry for england and wales, always brighter with more sunshine as you had further east. and with a southerly wind temperatures continuing to rise, back up to 12 or 13 quite widely. things will change later in the week not least because that front will

ta ke not least because that front will take rain into england and wales on wednesday and then we see high pressure building and later in the week. for the early part of their week. for the early part of their week there is rain around, most of it across scotland and northern ireland are. the second half of the week, lighter winds, it ireland are. the second half of the week, lighterwinds, it will ireland are. the second half of the week, lighter winds, it will be cold and with some fog.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. as the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the us exceeds 12 million, thanksgiving dinners are distributed to people across the country impacted by the pandemic. a call for coronavirus vaccines to be available for all — as leaders from the world's biggest economies meet for an online summit hosted by saudi arabia. here, the uk government will announce a stronger system of local restrictions after england's national lockdown ends in early december the so—called islamic state group says it was behind a rocket attack in the afghan capital, which killed eight people and left more than 30 injured.
