the english countryside will change radically under new government plans announced today to replace the eu system which paid farmers according to how much land they farmed. now — in a post—brexit world — farmers are meant to earn subsidies by protecting the environment, reducing the use of antibiotics and planting new woods. our correspondentjon kay spent the day in devon gauging the reaction of farmers there. there's been farming on dartmoor for thousands of years, but soon it could look less like this and more like this. farmers like mark will get subsidies for what they do to manage the countryside, like coppicing, rather than the amount of land they use. it makes sense in terms where land isn't particularly productive on a farming point of view, i mean why not actually leave it for nature? let it wild up a bit, get a bit scrubby and untidy? nature doesn't like things tidy. so just leaving it a bit rough and ready will bring in wildlife. brexit means out goes
10:32 pm
the common agricultural policy and in comes the environmental land management system, which could mean mark's farm will have fewer animals in future, but more trees, meadows and wetland. take this pond mark has created on his farm to hold water, to reduce flooding and to encourage local wildlife. now, under the eu scheme, mark would have lost money, because he can't farm this bit any more, but under the new scheme, he'll be rewarded for doing things like this. there will be incentives for farming sustainably, grants to help space for nature and grants as well to help farmers buying new equipment. as he plants oak trees for the future, mark might be embracing the new scheme, but other landowners are less enthusiastic, predicting upheaval, with some farmers expected to quit. brexit is a game—changer and we will be exposed to far greater competition on the market place.
10:33 pm
we need to look at what the impact of that is on farming businesses as we progress through transition. the common agricultural policy was often criticised for being overly complicated, but, with just a few weeks to go, back on dartmoor, mark still has lots of questions about how the new scheme will work. how important is it for you that you get the clarity now for the future? it's important so we can plan what we are doing over the next decade, because these change will take time. nothing happens on land very quickly. it's not clear yet how these changes will affect the public. at the moment, just over half the food we buy in the uk is homegrown. will there be an impact on prices? and will the other nations follow england's scheme? this is just the start of our new future. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are are the broadcaster, daisy mcandrew, and the politics reporter at bloomberg, joe mayes. welcome to you both. tomorrow's front pages, starting with. .. ‘tory rebels head for showdown with pm' reads the front page of the i — ahead of tomorrow's commons vote on new tier system restrictions for england, as the country emerges from lockdown on wednesday. up to 100 conservative backbenchers could vote against the government. the telegraph describes the revolt in the conservative party as a ‘blow tojohnson‘s covid plan', with mps demanding more details on the economic
10:35 pm
impact of new restrictions that the government wants to bring in from wednesday. labour will abstain on tomorrow's vote — the guardian says this will ‘raise pressure‘ on the pm as ‘tory rebels circle‘. away from tomorrow‘s vote, the metro focuses on the pop star rita ora, who‘s issued an apology after celebrating her 30th birthday with a group of friends at a restaurant in west london. the singer says she‘ll voluntarily pay a £10,000 fine for the party — which the paper says up to 30 people were reportedly invited to. not clear whether she will have to pay or the restaurant, the fine. the collapse of retail empire arcadia is on the front page of the financial times — after sir philip green‘s company collapsed into administration this evening, placing 13,000 jobs at risk.
10:36 pm
the paper describes arcadia as the ‘most high profile retail victim of the pandemic‘. and on the front page of the sun, ‘10 pints of lager and a scotch egg please‘... the paper reports on ‘punters‘ joy‘ after cabinet minister george eustice claimed that for tier 2 pubs needing to serve substantial meals alongside alcohol, a scotch egg would count. i think he said as long as it is served. so let‘s begin. welcome to you both. good to have you on. daisy, let‘s start with arcadia. that is the latest news really today. collapsing into administrations, crisis claims biggest retail victim. i was interested , biggest retail victim. i was interested, the existing management tea m interested, the existing management team stay in charge. does that mean philip green is still overall and charged even though i think it was put into the control of his wife?
10:37 pm
that is right. his wife received £i.2 that is right. his wife received £1.2 billion some years ago, we all saw the picture today of them and thatis saw the picture today of them and that is one of the things that does great most of all for the 13,000 people whose jobs are at risk and he isa people whose jobs are at risk and he is a very interesting character. we know he is something of a business a pantomime villain and has been for many years because he has always had that very abrasive manner. he was one of the many business people i use the interview regularly when all the economic editor and i to say he wasn‘t the easiest all the most pleasa nt wasn‘t the easiest all the most pleasant and i can see why he does not have a huge number of friends amongst the media or business contemporary. —— not the easiest or the most pleasant. it is slightly misleading, even as he is saying that the pandemic, the coronaviruses claim this. actually arcadia was going pretty badly before coronavirus became something any of
10:38 pm
us were aware coronavirus became something any of us were aware of. coronavirus became something any of us were aware of. foi’ coronavirus became something any of us were aware of. fora coronavirus became something any of us were aware of. for a long time, he was famous for buying up cheap and selling on to more expensive but it was never one for being big investments and that is why he lost out to other companies when he came to e—commerce because he wasn‘t willing to put the investment into get their platforms up and so shops like top shop and burton‘s and wallace never really sold much online which is one of the main reasons it is failed. they are slightly hiding behind coronavirus i think as a reason for this failure. the paper say their market share for the arcadia group jumped the paper say their market share for the arcadia groupjumped by the paper say their market share for the arcadia group jumped by a the paper say their market share for the arcadia groupjumped by a third over ten years, that new technology line from daisy, this is a man a p pa re ntly line from daisy, this is a man apparently who wanted all its e—mails printed out so he can read them on paper. what do you make of them on paper. what do you make of the demise? we must not lose sight there are 13,000 jobs here in a big hole in the pension fund.|j there are 13,000 jobs here in a big hole in the pension fund. i think daisy is complete and the right. it is easy for arcadia to point to the
10:39 pm
pandemic which has undoubtedly been a short cause to their demise but nevertheless clearly they have falle n nevertheless clearly they have fallen behind in e—commerce race and these faction empires all have tried to move away from bricks and mortar where they can, they have seen coi'isuitiei’ where they can, they have seen consumer demand has gone. that is a long—term factor which came to roost here. most interesting is the empire, who buyers might be, there are assets here which are valuable and there are reports of somebody being interested and maybe even mike ashley. that is going to watch. there might be a lifeline for some of these peoples whose jobs are at risk today. going back to what happens now with the administrators, the fixed charge creditors, too much detail i want to go into but fixed charge creditors will get first dibs. the fixed charge creditors is tina greene i believe. that is it. the creditors will get first dibs and another interesting sideline
10:40 pm
from apologies, i haven‘t had a chance to check out whether this is com pletely chance to check out whether this is completely true but many people are pointing the finger to a new regulation which comes with a new tax code which comes in on the 1st of december which would have meant that the treasury would‘ve gotten a lot more money from arcadia as a pa rt lot more money from arcadia as a part of the administration fairly. which the fact that it is being said they actually filed for arbitration one day before the new rules, and means that they wont have to give as much money over to the taxman so there‘s another interesting side there. whether that is sure not come i haven‘t had a chance to check it out. i think it issue. i looked into it and it is called the crown preference which comes into effect tomorrow. —— it is true. tax claims and vat goes first to the government. that has been avoided. you can say that is clever accounting but it doesn‘t add to the general picture of this being a terribly honest company. i'm not
10:41 pm
immature if we can say that. let‘s move on from that. —— i‘m not even sure we can say move on from that. —— i‘m not even sure we can say that. it is all legal. clever accounting. joe, tori robles... the prime minister is going to be struggling tomorrow on this vote on the tier system. —— tori robles. it seems like he is quite a backbench rebellion on his hands. this is the system is not really of weeks where we have seen more more a more conservative mps discussing and raising concerns about the approach to government is taking with restrictions and this report was came out today, 48 page analysis trying to explain the economic social impact of the new tier system which the conservative backbenches have been asking for but essentially saying it is a poor effort by the government to justify what they are doing and that has
10:42 pm
seemed to stop the anger and wheel it will likely see many in the voting against the government tomorrow although probably wont mean the vote doesn't pass. they will abstain but it will be pretty embarrassing to johnson when he abstain but it will be pretty embarrassing tojohnson when he can either bring his own party on one of the biggest national policy issues he's had to make at this point in time. the problem is 48 pages but when it seems to be is a rehash of the obr when it seems to be is a rehash of the 0br predictions that a few weeks ago so that others seem to be any impact cost—benefit analysis at all. a lot of people are saying it is a bit like a lazy a—level students dissertation or long essay that has been copied and pasted from other peoples work. with very little originality. in the region these back links robles or tori mps wanted this analysis, they went to be convinced otherwise that there was a real reason for doing the like that.
10:43 pm
—— a rebel mps. other than real reason for doing the like that. —— a rebel mps. otherthanjen real reason for doing the like that. —— a rebel mps. other thanjenjust saving the nhs. they didn‘t seem to be anything they see terribly convincing and wants everybody would agree that saving nhs from being overrun therefore saving lives and stopping people being treated in quarters is a laudable aim, people are saying we shouldn‘t be in the situation were having to choose between lockdown or saving the nhs. we should be able to help both in and come down to this. many mps are unconvinced and as we were saying, labour now abstaining as well. i think tomorrow is going to be, i‘m not think is going to lose, but i think it will be tighter than we would have assumed a couple of days ago. let's go on to the telegraph. it doesn‘t appear the prime minister is going to lose but it is going to bea is going to lose but it is going to be a dent to his authority in the paper making this absolutely clear. some pretty strong language from mark carper, chairman of the covid—19 recovery group, this vote
10:44 pm
is for a pick in the pokes says idf come using the language that boris johnson would have used before if not stronger. yes. i think the argument that has been growing within many tory circles as the damage to the economy through coronavirus restrictions as potential to be more harmful than the damage the virus can do. that is the damage the virus can do. that is the question they want to set on and it was so disappointing for today when they felt that report didn't go anywhere near trying to answer that question. i thinkjohn cena trying to do this difficult balancing act and he has been quite cautious and conservative and going for the protection for health and priority in offering offering vaccine soon but it didn't seem to be an f in this point in time and there would much rather that, let's place is cove red much rather that, let's place is covered by the strictest restrictions and johnson has been able to convince them. that has not been able. the couple was to go i was reading on how the conservatives one of the contrast between the
10:45 pm
lives lost. —— i was just reading a couple lucille. the lies versus the livelihoods, the long carbonated implications, civil liberties as well. —— the lines verses the treasury will have presumably done something like this, or am ijust being a bit naive? a couple of weeks ago the treasury didn‘t provide the numbers. there must be some research somewhere. there will be research and of course there is an additional research and antidotal evidence as well. and people feelings but one of the problem is covid—19 is very easy to put in black—and—white, the number of deaths today and affections today and hospitalisation everybody can understand that and you can see whether it is going up or down steps we have sat through so many of those press conferences, the trouble with the other implications asa trouble with the other implications as a result of these decisions as you mention, suicide, mental health, other cancers, all they are much harder to put in black—and—white. some of them take a lot longer to
