11:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. downing street has said a tougher tiered system of local coronavirus restrictions will come into force in england when the country's lockdown ends in early december. borisjohnson is expected to set out the details to mps on monday — including how families can see different households at christmas. the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the united states has exceeded 12 million. 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 blast five, for, 3, two, zero blast off.
11:31 pm
off for a satellite that will track rising sea levels — improving our understanding of climate change. 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 a vintage top hat in the background. look at that. chief sports reporter — martin lipton. tomorrow's front pages, starting with. .. 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. a different story in the sunday times —
11:32 pm
it carries a warning from the chancellor, rishi sunak, that taxes will need to rise next year, following the enormous costs of coronavirus. 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. so let's begin... this time with the sunday mirror and the headline, the fight before christmas. just how free we will be to socialise together, we are not sure yet. indeed, we are not. i think that is where the problem comes there is a question being asked over what it will mean post december two. in terms of what precise controls they will be on people. clearly there will be some restrictions. looks like it's going to be 3—tiered starting on the sunday mirror boris dampen as
11:33 pm
scientist sound warning. signalling a terms being voiced by sage and the chief medical advisers was up at the same time we know there is talk of a looser during christmas period. says here there is a revolt by his own backbenchers they want —— returned to tier 3. given the health costs over a longer term. we are struggling a bit to hear you, martin. give penny smith the talking stick instead. people saying that they won't observe the restrictions anyway. they want to have a christmas. it's interesting, is in a?a christmas. it's interesting, is in a? a quarter of people said they will carry on meeting friends and family anyway over christmas was up
11:34 pm
in the sunday time they've got 50 for percent in favour of carrying on the lockdown over christmas. they might be the people who don't particularly like turkey, don't particularly like turkey, don't particularly like turkey, don't particularly like getting on. also it's of reasons why people are in favour of the lockdown. of course it is about this balancing act. it isn't a i—size—fits—all. i was just thinking about the people for whom christmas is really important. people for whom may be they are celebrating eight new arrival, it's their first christmas without sally fathers, they know it's going to be their last christmas. it becomes more important for people. there are lots of people who know they haven't seen any covid cases in their family or when aroused and all they can see isjust that or when aroused and all they can see is just that any light at the end of the tunnel is being snatched away from them. it's no surprise that christianity took almost one of the gloomiest days, just a few days
11:35 pm
after the shortest day in the calendar, it's dark, dark night. it's often really wet and horrible. and there's, it's a bright, sparkly celebration for all of us. they mail on sunday says that boris is going to kill off the 10pm curfew. let the pups to kill off the 10pm curfew. let the pups open again. the pups will be open until 11. but last august will still be at ten. he's just got an hour to me. it won't, take your time. depends on how many you buy at once. i think if multiple buys at ten o'clock. if you haven't going to be booted out in five minutes it's all last orders was up seems like an interesting way of doing it. how long will that go, who knows? it may last longer than a couple of days. sunday express, lockdown ultimatum.
11:36 pm
this is something that martin mentioned and moment ago. some of boris johnson's own mentioned and moment ago. some of borisjohnson‘s own mps want to see the evidence as to why restrictions need to continue. it is very difficult at the moment. there is some suggestion, if you look at some of the papers today they are suggesting that perhaps a second wave may have passed its peak. so there are a number of mps and some have written letters saying essentially what we've got to show that this lockdown is revamped system, tier system is going to save more lives than a cause. it's a very difficult balancing act. i don't think there will be many people who say that they'd want to be in charge of this. because it is very difficult. the track and trace has not been particularly successful. it's getting better. of course these vaccines are coming along and these other tests that are really quick
11:37 pm
that could get results in 20 minutes. all of these things are kind of coming down the line. you just come to the point where you go, maybe we just have to sacrifice our freedom at the moment for the long—term. freedom at the moment for the long-term. because if you are going to visit somebody who vulnerable and you end up taking covid to them and you end up taking covid to them and you are asymptomatic, you don't even know, you'd neverforgive yourself. it's exactly the problem i have. i understand, genuinely understand people are looking to see christmas asa people are looking to see christmas as a beacon of hope and celebration of being alive. but is it worth another month of lockdown, potentially infecting neighbours, loved ones? i don't think it is. i really, genuinely don't. i want to another six weeks up until christmas
11:38 pm
and beyond in restricted circumstances. no. but if you're telling me i got to do that to ensure that 2021 is a year we can enjoy, then yes, i will. ensure that 2021 is a year we can enjoy, then yes, iwill. sunday times, penny. prepare fora enjoy, then yes, iwill. sunday times, penny. prepare for a tax paid next year warns sunak. all this spending that been down this year, this furlough kicks scheme, job retention scheme, trying to keep people, not everybody but a lot of unemployed people and say they haven't received anything. but billions and billions of pounds have been spent has got to be paid for. yeah, they are saying the figures this week will show the true scale of the economic shock laid bare. the thing is, as we know borisjohnson and the chancellor have different views on theirs. in fact the chancellorjoked that views on theirs. in fact the chancellor joked that he views on theirs. in fact the chancellorjoked that he want to actually cut up boris johnson's credit card. the fact is that in the
11:39 pm
past the prime minister has said that he doesn't want riders on income tax, vat and the trader instead has been looking at other ways of cutting money. coming from in aid, freeze on public—sector payments, of course we discussed this week. also perhaps raising capital gains tax. and cutting a higher rate pension tax relief. also, there is the suggestion that rishi sunak may introduce something a bit like eat out to help out. maybe seat out to help out if that's a possibility. of course this money is going to have to come from somewhere and it's going to have to come from us. we somewhere and it's going to have to come from us. we are somewhere and it's going to have to come from us. we are going to have to pay. and be paying for quite a long time. the conservatives but a lwa ys long time. the conservatives but always i people to believe that they are the party of low taxation. which is why this is a really enter resting intervention. it looked like
11:40 pm
it to pages so that would be about 5000 words because they've got a lot of space in the sunday times was up more than i got. and this is rishi sunak and setting out the reckoning. the warning shots are there. he also said to boris johnson, the warning shots are there. he also said to borisjohnson, i am the chancellor, i run the treasury. i determine how money is spent and raised. it's interesting, the second paragraph surely starts in a shot at borisjohnson. paragraph surely starts in a shot at boris johnson. that's paragraph surely starts in a shot at borisjohnson. that's the sunday times interpretation of what's being said. but they've got the nod to do this without question from the chancellor. because i would've done otherwise was up this is setting up a real rift potentially between number ten and number 11 for the top we haven't had that kind of abuse since the high blair problems 15 yea rs since the high blair problems 15 years ago. or so. since the high blair problems 15 years ago. orso. because since the high blair problems 15 years ago. or so. because we know that cameron and osborne were very
11:41 pm
tight. even under philip hammond and maite were very tight. now it would appeara maite were very tight. now it would appear a rift. which could potentially rise because boris johnson is a political prime minister. sunak is in the economist running the treasury. and when politics and economics class, normally the economist wins. let's look at some sports story. 13 new cases for dementia charity this month. talking about the ill effects that footballers suffer because of having the ball. yes, this is an ongoing issue has become stronger and stronger, more important with a number of decisions this week. yesterday evening the professional football association, the players union urged clouds not to at least try to reduce the amount of heading they do in training. there is an increase believe that there is a causal link between having a football and dementia. i think there
11:42 pm
clearly are issues with up the mail on sunday backpage said a0 odd percent of the players that play in the top six season which is a5, 50 yea rs the top six season which is a5, 50 years ago has now suffered dementia in later life a trip which is a horrifically large number. but i would also say, in no way to diminish this, people calling for a ban on heading in training, dimension is sadly part of the human condition. and it always has been. but we know, don't we, things like boxing, we know that these repeated blows to the head will do some damage. penny, just briefly. absolutely. there is a quote here suggesting that footballers there is 350% more likely to die of neurodegenerative disease than those in the rest of the population. thing about dementia is, it destroys your very self. we have memories and it
11:43 pm
isa very self. we have memories and it is a cruel, cruel disease. let us finish with the sunday telegraph. the archbishop of canterbury who is going to take a sabbatical. but not the side of christmas. no, he's doing it from may to september. he's going to his happy place. he is going to his happy place. he is going to his happy place in normandy. it's a real place, not an imaginary place? yes it's actually a real place. it's a six bedroom house ina remote real place. it's a six bedroom house in a remote hamlet in normandy in france. he's going to study and pray and reflect. yes, i didn't even know that this was an actual thing. williams took three months off in 2007 to write dostoyevsky, language fa ct 2007 to write dostoyevsky, language fact and fiction for the up and in 1997 lord carey took two months. they are entitled to a sabbatical every seven to ten years.|j they are entitled to a sabbatical every seven to ten years. i wouldn't wa nt to every seven to ten years. i wouldn't want to have to write anything though would you martin in a
11:44 pm
sabbatical? i would probably be eager to do something. my golf is a good enough to improve my handicap. probably writing a bad book would be better. i've already written one bad but i may as well do another one. at five months, quite a long time. oh, it would be glorious. add painted walk the dog. that's what i would do. look, she put the hat on for us. nice tip for penny. thanks. lovely to see you both. thank you very much for talking us through the papers tonight. very much for talking us through the papers tonight. that's it for the papers. until next time, goodbye. coming out next the film review.
