11:33 pm
mentioned in many of the page vision so mentioned in many of the page vision so far. looks like very good news was up well, some of the papers having writing staff over the weekend around eight military brought in around two dummy runs mass inoculation programmes as one of the bristol football grounds eston and gates. they'd been planning for a a while. they had been different bits of coverage in anticipation of this. if it does ta ke anticipation of this. if it does take place in december well before christmas that will be remarkable. fabulous piece of news. and britain has had pretty much one of the sharpest gdp falls of any country in the world. performance both in
11:34 pm
dealing with covid and the economic consequences has been one of the worst. so, if we at this vital stage mention it's we managed to really come out and show some rapid organisation, and not the immunisation programme early and we cleverly do it well. well then three chairs. well, if that with the case the uk will be the first in europe to do it. it looks like we might be they first by quite a long way. they telegraph says that other european countries are hoping to give the vaccine the green light after christmas. a few weeks ahead. yes, we have had quite a view examples of
11:35 pm
incompetence over the government over the past few months. i have a lots of hope that there are forces that pretty much our only big success that pretty much our only big success is getting —— again this time. it really does look as though everything is in place to this weekend which is fantastic news. john, potentially good news for the prime minister. the eye pointing out how bad it was for him in the beginning of the rebellion for tory mps and vote early on this evening. five conservatorships voted against. olivia and i disagreed on this. an hour ago i was a bit more sceptical.
11:36 pm
it was an easy piece in my view for mps angry and frustrated constituents. safe in the knowledge that the government wouldn't render the whole thing and chaos. but those commands are absolutely valid. the national lockdown ends in 25 at about one past midnight. there will bea about one past midnight. there will be a very gradual in cornwall and i% of the population. in tier i. and that will be a welcome relief. politically for the prime minister he needs to try to turn the corner. he's in trouble because after christmas notwithstanding what we we re christmas notwithstanding what we were talking about inoculations and that will take it's difficult first quarter are going to if you predict this absolute chaos in early january
11:37 pm
arising from the final departure of britain customers. it is to be very difficult. a quick thought on the rebellion. jurors doing a boris johnson pleading backbenchers to support the government. that's quite rare, isn't it? yeah, it doesn't really look as though a —— it takes really look as though a —— it takes real guts for the prime minister and say no, i'm going to stand up for oui’ say no, i'm going to stand up for our civil liberties. the nhs could have been a mess which it clearly is in my view at least. scotch eggs is completely ridiculous. i think it's pretty brave thing to do. also they actually got a lot of concession before the bill went through. that legislation, that's great. we talk about tears being split by it is —— and it they are making a very important point. let's go to the
11:38 pm
sun. it seems extraordinary for them can't even get cabinet ministers agreeing about whether a scotch egg isa agreeing about whether a scotch egg is a meal or not. when is a scotch 999 is a meal or not. when is a scotch egg and a part by a male? ——. is a meal or not. when is a scotch egg and a part bya male? ——. what happens if there are four of you going out from the same level and you want to share two dishes will that be allowed? clearly not. and then you have government ministers trying to determine what kind of dish are you allowed? doesn't have to bea dish are you allowed? doesn't have to be a main course type of a starter? and when government ministers get involved and that you know there are problems. olivia shall we move on? yeah, it's a huge story. people have been laughing about it on twitter and it really
11:39 pm
matters. if you think a pub owner and a tier2 matters. if you think a pub owner and a tier 2 area they are faced with enormous size if the cost. they don't even know what the rules are the government ministers don't know what the rules are. they've really been through the mills here. and this petition seems absolutely ridiculous and legislation is nonsensical. john and other good to ca re nonsensical. john and other good to care residence. first some won't be able to see —— will be able to see lovela nd able to see —— will be able to see loveland since march. extraordinary. media newspapers there's been so many really sad stories of elderly people not being able to see their children, not being able to see their spouse. if one of them is in a ca re their spouse. if one of them is in a care home waving from windows. it's truly awful. so some rest bite particularly in this. come the
11:40 pm
christmas. both the running. also importantly the after maths, after christmas january is the time of the greatest dash. it's really, really important when the nights and days that there is some sort of sense of people being able to hug their loved ones and just be in some sense of proximity with them. so yeah, any kind of concession is welcome. a lot of this will come down to testing wanted? yes, i think it's a huge relief that the government is finally prioritising. far too easy to say keep them safe and locked away when actually locking away isn't always the best option. we see in the cut off increases the risk of dementia. increases depression and loneliness in itself is a serious epidemic in this country and across europe. itjust getting worse. it's
11:41 pm
not necessarily safety lock to people away. i think we are finally realizing. this is a step forward. 0k realizing. this is a step forward. ok started as a drapers story back in the 18th century. it's ended in a bad way. talking aboutjust buffered around not only by coronavirus but by not embracing on line technology. also the ravages of private equity over the past 20 years. yes, 13,000 workjobs are at stake. the same amounta workjobs are at stake. the same amount a few days ago which was only amount a few days ago which was only a confirmation the empire is going to go as well. they are quite different from philip green, very few people in terms of how he ran
11:42 pm
his company. a sense that these companies were behind the times in either a refusal to embrace econ marce more generally. which is counterproductive. customers, owner structures, assets to invest all of these companies having a very large would sometimes like barren and uninviting. and really just would sometimes like barren and uninviting. and reallyjust very different to the shopping habits that many people particularly in younger people have nowadays. and really, looking ahead in terms of its property empire. they're going to be some quite big holes on the high street are there? yes. a few more closures and the high street is going to be a pretty decrepit place i think that quite a lot of these companies are catching up pretty fast. i don't think it's fair devens
11:43 pm
is actually a pretty good online offering. so i think they have got there in terms. it's almost impossible business rates at the moment. crippled by the business that. always a chance of coming back but it's terrible because itjust high business rates all the time. i hope relief in the next budget. i don't take it's the fault of these retailers. it'sjust the landscape has changed so quickly and how could you possibly in any way whatever you do with your doors or whatever
11:44 pm
compete with a massive big tech company like amazon? yes, sort of inevitable. it's notjust evans a lot of stock, shops open tomorrow. wild wednesday. will you bejoining? it's interesting i went out at about five o'clock this afternoon, i live in london. i was uplifting. all the shops, restaurants, work employees inside getting things ready, dusting things down, making sure it was working well. almost a sense of eagerfor working well. almost a sense of eager for things working well. almost a sense of eagerfor things to working well. almost a sense of eager for things to soon... it's funny how we manage our expectations down. some sort of excitement that you can sort of venture out and see more things open. but it still, even tomorrow a far cry from a usual high street experience. less still in december when you imagine walking up and down oxford oxford st and the place is absolutely heaving.
11:45 pm
christmas decorations are out but up until now... british bring festive chair. this is express campaign. yes, i think it's a good campaign. we did something quite similar back in maya we did something quite similar back in may a bounce back britain we called it. encouraging people to shop local. --. i think it called it. encouraging people to shop local. --. ithink it will be quite compelling. partly just because the postal services are absolutely useless. i don't know if you as i get out on the high street and buy things. great. ithink you as i get out on the high street and buy things. great. i think a lot of the world will like that. the fa ct of the world will like that. the fact that it's british and you're doing your bit for the bonhomie and your patriotic duty by christmas shopping i think it's quite a lot of people. goes to show how virtuous i
11:46 pm
am an answerto people. goes to show how virtuous i am an answer to your question i don't think i'm going shopping tomorrow but i'm going going to my local gym. the by british also singing ?? local gym. the by british also singing ? ? transmit local gym. the by british also singing 77 transmit 77 almost feels last century doesn't a? it's a sort of brexit sort of flag—waving and approach to patriotism that i don't subscribe to. i'm as patriotic as the next person. i think these sorts of things don't resonate and are just, so many ways of showing your patriotism and one of those is to be open to the world. let's look at the metro. patriotic to believe in the monarchy or celebrate additional christmas. not quite the same this year, unfortunately. no, the queen
11:47 pm
will be spending a quiet christmas in windsor castle instead of the usual big christmas with her family fault up i think obviously it's a good thing that the royal family is doing what we all have to do. such a good example. it's quite sad my family sits down at christmas day and watch as the queen going for her walk, etc. and going to church. and none of that will be the same this year. the facts around the corner let's hope it will be next year. john you were saying it will be interesting to see what the queen saysin interesting to see what the queen says in her christmas message this year. yes, absolutely. it's going to be highly and dissipated. i'm quite a stickler for be highly and dissipated. i'm quite a sticklerfor a be highly and dissipated. i'm quite a stickler for a christmas tradition. i always enjoyed watching the queen at three o'clock and most yea rs the queen at three o'clock and most years she seems to capture at the moment there were obviously wobbles. as the crown fictionally or otherwise has documented over the yea rs. otherwise has documented over the years. but in recent years, the pr
11:48 pm
and the empathy has been good. in some ways, this is actually quite a straightforward message. which is solidarity, empathy for people who have suffered both in terms of health, in terms of contracted covid, mental health, losing their jobs, loneliness all the really terrible things that have happened. but also hopefully casting us forward into 2021. in better chair. let's hope that will be a new year's resolution for so many millions of people around the world at 2020 can be put behind us and look forward to the vaccines. to take us forward into 2021. i'm not sure if you two will be on again before christmas. i'm not sure if you been books. if not, very happy christmas to you both. always great to have you on. thank you for taking us us through that second look at the
11:49 pm
papers. us through that second look at the papers. hi there, good evening. i'm chetan pathak with your sports news. we start with the champions league. liverpool are into the knockout stages after a 1—0 win over ajax at anfield. goalkeeper alisson missed the game, adding his name tojurgen klopp's lengthy injury list, but they got the job done tonight — as did manchester city, who finish as group winners after a goalless draw in porto. our sports correspondent andy swiss reports. for liverpool, the equation was simple. just a draw against ajax would take them through to the knockout stage, but if the maths were straightforward, the match was a little trickier. curtisjones so nearly fired liverpool ahead, as ajax looked rattled. but gradually,
11:50 pm
they found their feet. only a fine save from stand—in keeper caoimhin kelleher ensuring it was goalless at the break. and after it, ajax came even closer. now it was their turn to be denied by the post. liverpool were wobbling, butjust when they needed it, a goalkeeping gaffe. commentator: williams with a teasing cross... onana lost it! jones the scorer. and he could barely believe his luck. quite what ajax keeper andre onana was doing, only he will know. but liverpool weren't complaining. ajax kept pressing, though, and in the closing minutes, only kelleher‘s brilliance kept them out. liverpool's 1—0 win was enough to take them through — and you could see the relief. manchester city, meanwhile, had already safely qualified before their game against porto. and playing in black, they were soon on the attack. ferran torres with an early chance, but he couldn't take it — to his all too obvious frustration. and there was plenty more to come, as after the break, the porto goal seemed to lead a charmed life.
11:51 pm
city doing everything, it seemed, apart from actually score. commentator: how did that stay out? and even when gabrieljesus did find the net, it was offside. a goalless draw for city, but the fact they'll now qualify as group winners should be ample consolation. andy swiss, bbc news. well, earlier in the night, there was a shock defeat for the 13—time european champions real madrid, as they were beaten 2—0 away at shakhtar donetsk. brazilian dentinho got the opener on 57 minutes, before manor solomon wrapped up the win late on. real drop to third in the group with one game to go. and northern ireland have made history and secured a playoff place for the women's euro 2022 finals after coming from behind to thrash the faroe islands 5—1 at seaview. the pick of the goals was this one, the third of the night of the night for the hosts. it was scored by chloe mccarron. the result gives northern ireland a great chance now to qualify for
11:52 pm
a first major women's tournament. and that win means that wales have no chance of reaching the tournament now. they beat belarus 3—0 tonight, a great goal from rachel rowe, but it proved to be a bittersweet result as they finish third in theirgroup behind northern ireland. and scotland's euro 2022 hopes are also over tonight. it all finished in agonising fashion as finland pulled off a shock win at easter road by scoring a stoppage time winner. amanda rantanen the scorer, her team—mates overjoyed. they're top of the group. this weekend's premier league match between newcastle united and aston villa has been postponed after several newcastle players and staff members tested positive for coronavirus. the club says the decision has been made following a "significant increase" in covid—i9 cases at the training ground. those affected are self—isolating, whilst the club's training ground has been closed since yesterday. friday's match will
11:53 pm
now be rescheduled. in a statement, newcastle say... "the club introduced comprehensive covid—i9 protocols in line with premier league and government guidance to protect its players and staff ahead of project restart." the england manager gareth southgate has told the bbc that he thinks the introduction of concussion substitutions could be coming into football soon. it follows a serious head collision in the premier league on sunday that left wolves‘ rauljimenez with a fractured skull. the issue of dementia in football has also made headlines again in recent weeks and southgate has been telling us that's something else he has concerns about. we just don't have the research. i know that's been ongoing, i know the fa are dealing with it. i was asked a few weeks ago, "did i have concerns about that as a former player?" well, of course i do, because it's a horrible illness,
11:54 pm
and one that i've seen, with family, the impact of it. but i know when i was playing that i knew the risks i was taking around my health. and i wouldn't have swapped that for the career i had. next to cricket. england's cricketers have compete a 3—0 whitewash in their t20 series against south africa. the hosts recovered well after a slow start — with faf du plessis hitting an unbeaten 50 and rassie van der dussen ending on 7a not out — but south africa's total of 191—3 wasn't enough, asjos buttler and more brilliance from dawid malan with the bat got england to victory. malan ending with an unbeaten 99 to wrap up a nine—wicket win with 111 balls to spare. and formula 1 driver romain grosjean will remain in hospital for a further night following his horrific crash
11:55 pm
at the bahrain grand prix where he miraculously got out of his burning car. the frenchman suffered burns to the back of his hands but is otherwise in good spirits and posted this video on social media earlier. i can press the button with one of my fingers, which is good. thank you for the messages. sorry if i did not reply to you, but yeah. leaving tomorrow. obviously, a few parts of it painful, but, hey, it's ok. after what happened, i guess the pain is not too bad. yes. i'm happy to be alive and to talk to you. and that is all your sport for now. more reaction to tonight's champions league results, but for now, from me and the team, goodbye.
