to itsn filmm— il16 66anlnl— il16 il16> 66anlnl— il16> mhifi it will be easy to distribute to nhs staff. i have a lot of sympathy for the government, these are difficult calculations to work with but the key thing is to protect lives and make sure the nhs is ready. the 2nd of january is always known as the worst day in the nhs year because thatis worst day in the nhs year because that is the worst day for pressure from flu and we need to think about covid—i9 as well so that is going into all the calculations at the moment and i into all the calculations at the momentand i imagine into all the calculations at the moment and i imagine there will be chopping and changing when the government tries to figure out the best way to use the supplies they have. i am so relieved i don't have to make those decisions, the burden of handling all that is above my brain capacity. let us leave coronavirus for the moment and look it the daily telegraph. we have been hearing about these negotiations. every cliche thrown at it, not much time left, negotiations we heard earlier on today from our political

editor, the mooted hardened on the eu side. the telegraph focuses on one of the issues they cannot agree one of the issues they cannot agree on and it is fishing. fish quotas. in particular they focus on french fishing. yes, it seems to be the french who have come in to undo what was some positive movement earlier in the day. i think there was an 11th hour hardening of the position which from the uk perspective, they said destabilised the talks. have been some positive noises over the past 2a hours, the two sides were getting closer but the eu has now said it once harder assurances particularly over the role of domestic regulatory subsidies which comes domestic regulatory subsidies which co m es after domestic regulatory subsidies which comes after the transition period but then russell said, that is not

necessarily the case from their perspective. it is not their position that is causing the slight breakdown. i think both sides, from what they are saying tonight, still believe that it is possible to do a deal in the next few days but they're very much was a hope that they're very much was a hope that they would be done by nine to friday but it looks like monday is the day that everyone is aiming for. sebastien, we have a senior government source saying it is the 11th hour and the eu is bringing in new elements to the negotiation, do you think this is brinkmanship or can they get a deal done?” you think this is brinkmanship or can they get a deal done? i think it is very hard to say at this moment because negotiations have been in the cave, the underground compound ce ntre the cave, the underground compound centre and nobody knows what has been going on except when we see the fast—food orders come in and out of the cave. out of interest, it was

pizzas last night. i don't know what that tells you. fundamentally, both sides toward a deal. it is in the interests of the eu and the uk to get a deal and nothing has changed that. it was always going to be difficult and a hard battle to get them over the difficult and a hard battle to get them overthe end. difficult and a hard battle to get them over the end. i suspect we are seeing the final last just of brinkmanship between both sides. it looks like both sides of thought ha rd looks like both sides of thought hard for the deal. borisjohnson has to sell it back onto the conservative party. euro—sceptics will be saying this is something thatis will be saying this is something that is a good deal for britain. the eu has to sell it to the 27 member states to say we have not anything away. this new element has been pushed back by the eu side saying it is nothing new but it does sound like the french element is playing here, emmanuel macron does not want to be seen to be giving away too

borisjohnson and to be seen to be giving away too boris johnson and he to be seen to be giving away too borisjohnson and he is to be seen to be giving away too boris johnson and he is facing a presidential election in 2022 without having given too many rights away from french fishermen. to me, it is all choreography now, can they get ideal? borisjohnson says it is a success, a new micron get ideal? borisjohnson says it is a success, a new micron saying it is a success, a new micron saying it is a success, a success, a new micron saying it is a success, the eu saying it is a success, a success, the eu saying it is a success,if a success, the eu saying it is a success, if that can happen, it will work but if it does not get agreement, that will not happen. right, let us and on the telegraph. the image we want to focus on is just absolutely staggering. this is average, tells what we are looking at. zoom in on the picture so that the viewers can see, it looks out of the viewers can see, it looks out of the world. it is a beautiful picture of snow covering its. try and see

exactly where it is, a viaduct in north yorkshire. my parents house is in north yorkshire and looks very similartoa in north yorkshire and looks very similar to a viaduct near where they live. it is a beautiful scene, it will get everyone in a christmas mood. for those of his who might be planning to see friends for the first time outside in these parts we re first time outside in these parts were economic trends outside and eat a substantial meal, i suspect we will have to do it in the snow. the serious note to this as it is going to get very cold. brace ourselves. indeed. the irony here, the social interaction interior to areas is to stop the spell —— spread of coronavirus but the fact is we could catch cold from standing outside and socialising. it is much more difficult than in the summer when making plays about in the sunshine.

socialising in the winter means winning thermals, i have some i bought for this. it is a beautiful scene on the telegraph, london is not like that yet but it does look like it will be a chilly winter. for now, just enjoy the beauty of that picture. let us enjoy the beauty of this picture rather than the image of you in thermals. we welcome back to you very shortly for the next edition of the papers. that was a quick look through friday's papers. a quick thank you to our viewers and if you would like any input, the hashtag is available on social media. see you shortly. good evening and we'll start with the europa league as 5 british

teams were in action. it was a special night for arsenal as they were able to welcome fans back to the emirates for the first time in nearly nine months. as arsenal are in tier two they were allowed to have up to 2,000 fans at the emirates and mikel arteta's side gave the fans something to smile about. alexander lacazette scored this great opening goal to put them on their way to a 4—1 win over rapid vienna. they had already made it through the knockout stages and the victory takes them through as group winners with a game to spare. tottenham qualified with a draw at lask. they had gone behind, but a penalty from gareth bale and then this from son heung min put them 2—1 up. they were pegged back, but went ahead again through a dele alli penalty before the austrians made it 3—all. they have dropped to second in their group behind antwerp and jose mourinho was not happy about the commitment of some of his players.

some of the players, they feel that they shouldn't be here. but the contradiction on that is that players like seong and pierre, our players like seong and pierre, our players starting every match and they are the examples of the guys. it does not matter where, it does not matter the competition, they are there and they are there for the tea m there and they are there for the team over time. —— all the time. leicester had already made it through to the next round, but lost i nil to zoria luhansk in ukraine. brendan rodgers side will still finish top of their group if they beat aek athens in their last game. rangers are through after beating standard liege. scott arfield got the crucial goal in a 3—2 win over the belgian side to put them top of the group. a win in theirfinal game against leck poznan would guarantee them top spot. well, celtic couldn't qualify and lost again,

despite going 2—0 up at ac milan. 0dsonne edouard with their second inside the first 15 minutes. but milan fought back, levelling before half time and then added two more in the second half. that's just one point in five europa league games for the scottish champions and more pressure on manager neil lennon. the premier league and english football league have agreed a rescue deal to protect lower league football clubs from going under due to the coronavirus pandemic. the total amount is £250 million. but it's broken down differently between the championship — and league i and 2. for championship clubs — £200 million of loans will be available, partly secured by the premier league, who will help cover 15 million pounds of interest. while for league i and 2 — there is the option of grants totalling £50 million. but, the chief executive of rochdale thinks that clubs will need more. it is good to have but please put it

in context. for a club like rochdale, it is probably less than two months of their normal regular outgoing. it is a great thing to have, we are not appearing to be ungrateful but it is a great injection all clubs need at this time but on its own it will not be enough to ensure the survival of all clu bs enough to ensure the survival of all clubs in league 2. champion jockey, uhsheen murphy has spoken for the first time after being banned for testing positive for cocaine. in an exclusive interview with bbc sport, the irishman admits that his reputation has been damanged. he's serving a three month ban and says that investigators had accepted that he hadn't taken the drug. i became aware of a situation where cocaine was present in my environment. i saw it there and i did not remove myself from that situation immediately. when you signed your jockeys license situation immediately. when you signed yourjockeys license every

year, you have got to abide by the rules and that was my errors. i have got to, i very much have no self—pity. i made a mistake and i have got to live at the consequences. to golf — where andy sullivan is the man to catch at the dubai championship. sullivan added a second round 66 to his opening 61 for a halfway total of 17 under par, one shot off the european tour record set by four—time major winner, ernie els. he's now got a three—shot lead overfellow englishmen, matt wallace and ross fisher. the line up for the quarter—finals of the uk snooker championship is complete. lu ning clinched the final place this evening, along with kyren wilson, who has a tough next opponent. he'll play the world number one. judd trump held off a fightback from ricky walden to win this afternoon by 6 frames to 3. you can follow it all over the next few days on the bbc sport website. and that's all the sport. have a lovely evening. bye now.

hello there. it's been a cold day everywhere today, we've got another wintry mix of weather to come tonight and into tomorrow. certainly a wintry scene here in highland scotland, some parts of scotland temperatures didn't really get much above freezing. for england and wales it was cold, it was wet, and it was miserable. a lot of clouds streaming in from off the atlantic. these shower clouds though are coming down. we will see a stream of showers for west wales and the southwest of england. this area of cloud here will probably take some wetter weather into the southeast of england and east anglia, and the wet weather that we are seeing across northern england will spill its way into scotland as that moves inland into that icy cold. so we are going to find snow falling in many places, some more snow over the northern pennines for a while. and a widespread frost and ice in scotland and northern ireland, a patchy frost in a really, for england and wales. into the morning and snow

could be a problem in scotland early on in the day. some disruption mainly to the high—level routes, there will be some snow to low levels for a while, but i think it will quickly turn to rain. and then rain could be a problem for the day, particularly in eastern scotland. some heavy rain bringing some flooding. and the stronger winds will push the rain into northern ireland. gales along the north coast. for england and wales the wet weather clears to the southeast of east anglia, moves up into northern england. still a bit sleety and maybe some snow over the pennines, but for the midlands and southern england it does become a lot drier. maybe some sunshine. it's a cold day, though, and it will feel colder because the winds are going to be stronger. stronger winds around the area of low pressure, that's bringing the wet weather. that will slide away over the weekend into france, and gradually over the weekend and will turn drier and quieter with the winds easing as well. but we are still in the cold air. temperatures are not going to improve. and we still got the wet weather around on saturday. particularly for england and wales, it may be some sleet and snow over the peak district, the welsh hills.

and we got some wetter weather coming into eastern parts of scotland. northern ireland, eastern areas of england should become drier and a bit brighter as well. those temperatures still struggling to five to 7 degrees. 0vernight as the winds drop and the skies clear we are going to have quite a frost around. and there may well be some myths, fog and low cloud. that could linger in some central areas throughout the day, so particularly cold here. for many, though, it's going to be a dry day. most of that wet weather has gone, there will be some sunshine coming through, but it's still a cold day on sunday

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm kasia madera. in an exclusive interview with this channel, the man leading the american fight against the coronavirus, dr anthony fauci, sets the record straight on what he thinks about the uk decision to approve the new pfizer coronavirus vaccine. i have a great deal of confidence in what the uk does, both scientifically and from a regulatory standpoint. if i somehow came across differently, i apologise for that. the first doses of the newly approved pfizer vaccine have arrived in the uk. the roll—out begins next week. california issues stay—at—home orders for when hospitals approach breaking point as new covid cases threaten to overwhelm them.
