others are beaten... ..and pepper sprayed. clementine is one of them. why are the authorities reacting so strongly to your protests? because they are scared. they fear they are losing the power. are you going to win this fight? we are winning. it doesn't look like, but we are. the ban could be implemented any day, but protesters know this is a bigger battle, over which direction the country takes. jean mackenzie, bbc news, warsaw. with all the sport now, here's lizzie greenwood hughes at the bbc sport centre. good evening. scotland's chances of making the final of rugby union's autumn nations cup are now slim, after they lost their second round match to france. they were beaten 22 points
10:31 pm
to 15 at murrayfield as katie gornall reports. this year, scotland have been a team on the rise, no longerjust good to watch, but also hard to beat. here, their new—found resilience would be tested to the limit. france have staged their own renaissance. widely considered to be the form team in world rugby, they gained an early foothold at murrayfield. but scotland would match them stride for stride, the ever reliable duncan weir kicking for the horizon in a first half dominated by the boot. 12—12 at the break but immediately after it, france would showcase their attacking flair, scything through the scottish defence and setting up vakatawa, who crashed over. the try is given. another ramos penalty would leave scotland needing a bit of magicjust to draw level, but when they needed them most, their attacking powers deserted them. the gamble has not paid off. it was an unfortunate end to scotland's five—game winning streak and with france now in pole position to make the final, their hopes of silverware in this competition look increasingly out of reach. there were four games
10:32 pm
in the premier league today. match of the day two and sportscene follow this programme, so if you want to wait for the results... ..here they come... reigning champions liverpool were impressive as they beat leicester 3—0 at anfield to move up to second in the table. they're now only behind spurs on goal difference. elsewhere there were wins for everton and west ham but leeds against arsenal was goalless. rangers have extended their lead at the top of the scottish premiership to 11 points. steven gerrard's side thrashed an under—strength aberdeen 4—0 at ibrox. it is rangers best start to a season for more than half a century. celtic are second with two games in hand. on the last day of the tennis season, a new era began as danil medvedev won the atp tour finals, the biggest win of his career. the young russian, who'd knocked out rafa nadal to reach the final, beat the us open champion dominic thiem over three sets in london. it's the last time the tournament will be held at the o2. turin will host next year's event.
10:33 pm
british swimmer adam peaty has smashed his own world shortcourse record for the fastest 100 metres breastroke. the olympic gold medallist shaved another eight hundredths of a second off his previous best to touch in 55.41. it's the ninth world record set this weekend as the international swimming league comes to a close in budapest. there's more on the bbc sport website, including news of a dramatic late win for wasps on the opening weekend of the new premiership rugby season. but that's it from me. back to you, rita. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. goodbye. good evening. most of us got to see at least some brightness today. with clear spells overnight, allowing it to get quite chilly,
10:34 pm
a touch of frost in a few places. those will tend to fade through the night, some will continue. it will certainly see more cloud rolling into northern ireland and western scotland, so it will turn to love the temperature spike morning. elsewhere, where we have the clear spells, particularly across eastern areas, chilly night. it is across those eastern areas, we will see the best of the sun through tomorrow. the crowd were thickened through the day across south—west wales and north—west england, the odd spot of rain, but secker, bring more persistent rain to northern ireland, and especially western parts of scotland, but it will also be quite windy. those temperatures highest and the worst, milder air pushing income and after that chilly start and eastern parts, is going to be a bit of a struggle staying in single digit. 20 tuesday, we see this
10:35 pm
frontal system wriggling around across the north—west of the uk. that is where we will see outbreaks of rain to northern ireland particularly. quite white on tuesday. rain continuing to feed and across scotland at times, but much of angleton rose, some dry weather, some spells of sunshine, the chance of rain in the hills. as we move out of rain in the hills. as we move out of charity into wednesday, things start to change. that frontal system that has been wriggling around will start to push eastward. some patchy rain lifting its where each verse, and behind that frontal system we will start to get back into some rather chilly air. wednesday, re m na nts of rather chilly air. wednesday, remnants of that weather front bringing cloud and patchy rain towards the south and south—east. showers across the north—west of scotland, but also as part of sunshine. temperatures back in single digit for most of us by the state. and as we head towards the end of the week, it is looking
10:36 pm
10:37 pm
hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines... the government signals that families could be allowed to celebrate christmas together in what it calls a limited and cautious way. but how many can meet and for how long is still being decided, as the options are considered. we have to find a balance, i guess, between covid restrictions and the well—being and mental health of our nations. the head of the us coronavirus programme says he hopes the first americans will be vaccinated in december, as the country passes 12 million confirmed cases. tough times ahead, warns the chancellor. ahead of his spending review this week, we'll look at how funds
10:38 pm
are allocated to different areas of the country. mystery on the streets of nottingham as the broken bike accompanying the artist banky‘s mural, disappears. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejohn rentoul, chief political commentator for the independent, and sam lister, deputy political editor at the daily express. tomorrow's front pages... "ministers agree a covid christmas plan" is the headline in the independent ahead of borisjohnson making
10:39 pm
an announcement in the house of commons tomorrow. the paper also warns of one million nhs operations being delayed. the metro has "bubbles with the baubles" and says christmas lockdown rules will be eased to allow some families to mix during the festive season. "families can meet up for christmas" says the i, with an agreement between number ten and the devolved nations meaning people will be allowed to travel across the uk. the daily express has "it's official: christmas is saved!" the telegraph reports that self—isolation will no longer be required for contacts of positive covid cases under new government plans. the financial times take is how the chancellor will fund schools and police in last hurrah
10:40 pm
before taxes rise. the daily mail says it's exposed a shocking waste of £5.6 billion we will start with the front of the metro. a smiling rishi sunak.. little bit of festive joy here, christmas has been said, it seems. essentially what asuppo, michael gove has been associating with the leaders in the rest of the uk on a set of rules for christmas, and they have agreed broad principle plan which will allow bigger household bubbles to meet just temporarily over christmas. it's looking like it will be five days, and probably three households. they can get together over christmas, and people will be able to travel across the uk, although they are asking people
10:41 pm
to restrict their travel are possible. they mirror doesn't often give a positive hurdling to the present government, but it has tomorrow morning. i guess you might call it an early christmas present for borisjohnson. call it an early christmas present for boris johnson. it call it an early christmas present for borisjohnson. it is hard to imagine anyone arguing against us in oi’ imagine anyone arguing against us in or outside quite hot. there will be consequences, but it is very difficult for any political leader to effectively say to people, sorry, your christmas as cancer. i'm not sure about that. nothing public is poignant is extremely cautious about opening up over christmas, and i think there is quite a lot of people who are quite prepared to put christmas on hold if they think that is the right way to control the virus. i think a lot of people on a bit nervous about some of the headlines. you wonder if the front page headlines are not the whole story, that may be some of the common columns are going to strike a slightly different note? possibly,
10:42 pm
although there are an awful lot of columnists who would disagree with us columnists who would disagree with us from the other angle, of course, which is, you have got a lot of unhappiness in the conservative party among conservative mps that the restrictions are going to be quite as tight as they are. what ta kes quite as tight as they are. what takes us neatly to the front of the guardian, which is making exactly that point. 70 tory mps have written to the prime minister saying they will not back unless he comes up with more evidence to justify restrictions that may be imposed in england after the current lockdown but before christmas. that's right. they claim 70 members, the covid research group, i think they are called, are those who tory factions are called something research group. laughter and the bottom line on that is that they cannot overturn these rules because the labour party supports
10:43 pm
in. so, boris johnson because the labour party supports in. so, borisjohnson will be because the labour party supports in. so, boris johnson will be able to get them through parliament, but you won't want to be in a position where he is relying on the labour party to see him through. so, he will be trying to twist a lot of arms before the vote this coming week on of the new regulation. there is an awful lot on the papers, we don't yet know exactly what the government is proposing, we are going to hearfrom government is proposing, we are going to hear from the government is proposing, we are going to hearfrom the prime minister tomorrow. some, picking up on that guardian story, pm promises mass testing. some indication appears to beat you might have to put up with restrictions between now and christmas, and then at some point in the new year, it will all be fine because we will be able to get tests that give us results in two hours, and providing you test a couple of times and the week, you will be given almost a travel pass to move freely and do what you want. is it to move freely and do what you want. isita to move freely and do what you want. is it a danger of the government of and under delivering? that has been and under delivering? that has been a problem we have had to throughout
10:44 pm
this crisis, but with this testing plan, there's quite a few different elements to it, but the key one is the one regarding self isolation, because officer one of the big problems has been trying to get people to comply with itself isolation roles, and if you come into contact with someone who test positive, even if you show no symptoms, you are supposed to self—isolate, and symptoms, you are supposed to self— isolate, and so symptoms, you are supposed to self—isolate, and so what this plan will doable allow people to be freed from that by allowing them to be tested every day for seven days, and after test negative throughout the whole period, they are fine, they can carry on with their daily business throughout the whole period as well. so, does away but the whole controversial thing of having to self—isolate when controversial thing of having to self— isolate when it controversial thing of having to self—isolate when it doesn't really seem self—isolate when it doesn't really seem like you are even l. the good news is, you will have a travel pass, the bad news you might have its owners after all that poking around to test you! just on that
10:45 pm
isolation scrap, i suppose it is on the front of the telegraph tomorrow, the front of the telegraph tomorrow, the prime minister has experienced that for himself, not least in the last week, when he has been stuck in a downing street flat, not able to do lots of things you wanted to do because another tory mp tested positive even though boris had no symptoms. there must be hundreds of thousands of people and exactly that dilemma. that is right, and the prime minister isn't sprung from his prison until thursday, the day after the spending review announcement. but the problem with all that is of course as we know there is an awful lot of people who don't observe the isolation roles, and this is an attempt to make self isolation more palatable. but actually, to say isolation as a scrap for contacts is not supported by the actual text underneath, because as some said, you are going to be isolated for seven days, you have to be tested
10:46 pm
every day for the 70s, and only if at the end of that 70s are your tests are negative value then be released from isolation, so it is not isolation scrap, it is isolation half provided you test negative. not isolation scrap, it is isolation half provided you test negativelj think, half provided you test negative.” think, actually, it might be that you are actually allowed to go about your daily business during that period... from my understanding of the rose, ithink period... from my understanding of the rose, i think that is how it is going to play out. i think that is the whole idea that it will release you from that. you can keep getting tested every day, and as long as you tested every day, and as long as you test negative, you can go ahead.” do apologise, i have misunderstood. but i will stand corrected if i interpret that incorrectly. the truth is, no one has officially told us truth is, no one has officially told us anything, not the papers, it is a lot of lea ks and us anything, not the papers, it is a lot of leaks and bits of information that they get out. this is a dilemma when you are working on a paper, you're often trying to predict what the paper will be tomorrow or next week, and you piece it togetherfrom
10:47 pm
lots of different sources. we will see borisjohnson get up lots of different sources. we will see boris johnson get up virtually in the commons tomorrow to set so these isolation plants, and just one archer but a very good news after these isolation plans is that there will be an element to help people in ca re will be an element to help people in care homes stop officer, that's been a real problem, people not being able to have relatives to visit. on one element of this isolation, the testing plan, will be to allow it to visits from two relatives every week, and also lets us forget tested, i think, week, and also lets us forget tested, ithink, both week, and also lets us forget tested, i think, both times on both visits. and that will allow them to also hark and hold hands and have physical contact, and that has been such a big problem during the crisis, and i think that will be a major breakthrough tomorrow. john lets talk about spending, because thatis lets talk about spending, because that is the other big story, and arguably would be issued story if it we re arguably would be issued story if it were not for covid, the chancellor's on wednesday. i will ask you first
10:48 pm
of all a kind of stylistic point, if you would. what you make of the way the ft has presented us? rather than go for the one photo, they have gone for four. it is almost like a fact book image. it is very striking. yes, that is an unusual use of a front—page photograph. i assume that is all one gesture that they have cut up into full picture. i don't remember... i watch that interview, i don't remember rishi sunak doing that during it, but it is an interesting presentation. it catches your eye. i thought you were going to ask me about the way the ft has focused on the increase in spending on schools and pulleys, which in the headline looks as if it is something new, but if you read the report, it
10:49 pm
is at the treasury has confirmed that they are going to go ahead with the planned increase in spending next year, so there is no change. obviously, the spending is going to increase, but that has already been announced. just on that, they kind of substance of this review, sam. do you by the suggestion that it is going to be quite a radical departure for the government? notwithstanding that headline, as john motson, the money has been announced, it has just been confirmed, which is not new, and other big announcements on spending are about to write about, frankly, at the moment, but the terms that this will contribute to the levelling up, something we talked about just after apm, levelling levelling up, something we talked aboutjust after apm, levelling up the country's economic development. it is nice to talk about economic development after the year we have had, but even so... even under treasury's or new briefings on this, they do keep saying all the way through we are reaffirming our
10:50 pm
commitment to this, we are confirming the money for that. i think what they are trying to get across as, 0k, covid has absolutely dominated this entire first year of the conservative government, post—election, but what we are actually doing no is focusing on delivering our election promises, but that is what they're trying to across. actually, a lot of visit just confirming things we have already announced, but that is the message they are trying to convey, that we are meeting our promises are set out in our election manifesto. how that is received is down to people at home, but that is certainly how they are trying to kiss up. the yorkshire post-we don't often do the original front pages, and memo to self, i think we should do that much more than we do at the moment, because for a start, there are plenty of style, thankfully, successful, effective local papers. they may not be making money, but
10:51 pm
the performed an invaluable service and their communities. the yorkshire post is evilly one of the country's most respected regional newspapers. -- is most respected regional newspapers. —— is easily one of the country's. an interesting story. hs2 delays may be employed for years to come. the yorkshire post is a very good paper, and this is obviously a story of huge interest to its readers, protested suggestion that they're pa rt protested suggestion that they're part of hs2 might not go ahead, or might be postponed. i mean, there's a certainly running rather contrary to reports so much talking about, the prime minister price promises and is manifesto to improve transport connections to the north. adding octopus is obviously taking a very strong line, campaigning for
10:52 pm
hs2 very strong line, campaigning for hsz to very strong line, campaigning for hs2 to go ahead, and for the branch to...i hs2 to go ahead, and for the branch to... i have forgotten where it goes. it is the leeds, nine. for that in particular to go ahead. and that in particular to go ahead. and thatis that in particular to go ahead. and that is a very interesting test of the government's so called levelling up the government's so called levelling up agenda. basically, it says leaders ended north of england and the midlands are interested to see what the mayor of birmingham thanks, the conservative mayor, and many more conservative politicians in the north of england that we have seen for many years. not least the chancellor of the checker, of course! first delivery of the 120 melt like between birmingham and leeds could be phased, which is a polite way of saying, slower than it was going to be! absolutely. there isa was going to be! absolutely. there is a recognition amongst most people involved in the stock perhaps it would have been better to have started out from the top rather than from the bottom, coming down from
10:53 pm
the north rather than going up to the north rather than going up to the north, but obviously that ship has long served. there has always been controversy around that one of this scheme is needed, and a lot of people in northern england would actually possibly prefer to see increased links between east and west, local travel roads, increased links between east and west, localtravel roads, leeds increased links between east and west, local travel roads, leeds to manchester. i think they would rather see this score had done nothing at all. this is quite interesting, in terms of the contents interesting, in terms of the co nte nts of interesting, in terms of the contents of talking about changing the green book rules. we had somebody earlier saying it is not so much the formula, not a case of computer says no, it is about the political will and the leadership and actually bother your flesh out what you mean about levelling up, bother you set some criteria that all projects can be adjusted again. they were saying, you might live in cleethorpes and think you're hard done by, and you may be right, but
10:54 pm
crawley‘s economy in the south of england has been how much harder than many because of the collapse in travel from at work. these things can get quite nuanced. and also, there is the fundamental question about hs2 is whether it would actually result in increased economic activity and the north, a product it would act further to suck economic activity to london. it will just make london more communicable to more people, and a sense. so there are philosophical arguments, and there are people in the north of england who actually think that money could be better spent from their point of view on local transport infrastructure. before we leave the yorkshire post, because i think we have lost it on the screen, but it has the most fabulous photograph i have seen. the wildlife park want eliminations in doncaster,
10:55 pm
which look pretty spectacular. it is a lovely colour photograph. my hometown, and it fabulous while park avenue anyone passes through. frankly, if you ever use the robots, there is a good chance you well pass through doncaster! let's end with the telegraph. one story is that the uk could be the first to rule out the vaccine, sam. this would be fantastic news. it is a race to get it signed off by regulators, and i think it is her can do the work the crackers, and get through this process is. but obviously, throughout all this, it is absolutely vital that it is not about the timescale, it is about reassuring people that actually these vaccines are safe, and sol think on the whole, people would prefer perhaps a little more time
10:56 pm
taken than speed. i think speed is obviously great if we can get it rolled out quickly, but it is really important that people have confidence in the system, and there is no sense that this has been rushed through at all. i mean, that wouldn't happen, but it is more about the image that people take from this. so, i think if it is going through quickly, they will need to reassure people that it hasn't been rushed through, that all procedures have been followed so people can have that confidence in the vaccine. let sound on the telegraph, the photograph of the church and duchess of cambridge, and prince charles. it is not a recent photo, but it is one featuring a much beloved royal pet that has passed on. i shouldn't be smiling, this is very serious. as dogs go, he probably had a pretty happy life.
10:57 pm
yes. front—page news is quite something. it is on the front of the metro as well, i think. a good sendoff for a door, i must say. a p pa re ntly sendoff for a door, i must say. apparently it is on the front of the mill, although somebody in our team is pointing out that apparently it shows george feeding a chocolate, which i hope didn't have anything to do with its demise. i hope it died of natural causes after a healthy dog diet! very sad news is all i can say. indeed, and i suspect nobody at the paper... i think i have heard of the paper... i think i have heard of the first drop the dead donkey, but nobody read. it is a lovely picture ofa nobody read. it is a lovely picture of a much loved family pet, and as it, they will miss their faithful friend very much. but is it from the papers, more at 11:30pm.
11:00 pm
this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the us says it hopes to start distributing a coronavirus vaccine in less than 3 weeks from now. within 2a hours from the approval, the vaccine will be moving and located in the areas where each state will have told us where they what the vaccine doses. in the uk, the government signals that families be allowed to celebrate christmas together — in what it calls a limited and cautious way. ethiopia's prime minister gives regional tigryian forces 72 hours to surrender — before launching an assault on the region's capital. protests in poland continue against a planned near—complete ban on abortion. we hear from one of the few doctors still willing
