this is bbc world news, the headlines. the us doctor leading the fight against coronavirus has apologised for appearing to question the speed with which britain approved a vaccine. dr anthony fauci said all he had intended to do was to highlight the differences between the processes in the two countries. president electjoe biden said he will ask doctor fosse to remain in his post after he takes office. he would also ask american to wear a mask for 100 days. he would also ask american to wear a mask for 100 days. the first doses of the newly approved pfizer vaccine have arrived in the uk — the roll out begins next week. meanwhile france has said it would ensure free vaccinations for all. california has issued stay—at —home orders for when hospitals come close to running out of emergency capacity as new covid cases threaten to overwhelm then. for most of the state that's expected to be within the coming seventy—two hours.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. joining me are the whitehall correspondent for the financial times, sebastian payne and deputy political editor at the guardian, jessica elgot. tomorrow's front pages, starting with. .. the coronavirus vaccine arrives in the uk — the i reports the world's first doses will be distributed to 53 vaccination hubs this weekend to start rolling out jabs on tuesday. the guardian's front page looks into the change in the coronavirus vaccine priority list — nhs staff will no longer get the jab first, instead, hospitals will begin by immunising care home staff and inpatients and outpatients over 80.

the times says the uk government will try to prevent damage to public confidence in the vaccine after it came under criticism for its rapid approval. the metro accuses government minister gavin williamson of being "boastful" in an interview made earlier today, in which he said the uk got the covid vaccine first because "we're a much better country" than everyone else. away from the vaccine and the financial times reports negotiations on a trade deal between britain and the eu are hanging in the balance as the deadline looms. the front page of the telegraph says negotiations between borisjohnson and emmanuel macron are heading for a showdown this weekend over french access to fish in british waters. and the mirror is calling on the 1.8 billion pound covid tax break refund by supermarkets to be used to save our struggling pubs that face closure under the tier system. so let's begin...

lovely to have you both back. we are going to startjessica, with your paper. all day, all week we've been talking about this new vaccine, the uk getting the first to get it approved. the vaccine coming into the uk undera approved. the vaccine coming into the uk under a cloak and dagger us with the help of mi five or secretly. the list of people, the priority list of people who we were expecting to get a first has slightly changed. so, talk us through what the guardian has found out. initially we were expecting their priority to be nhs staff. and although you might have expected ca re although you might have expected care home staff and residents of ca re care home staff and residents of care homes to get a first because this vaccine has to be stored in such specific conditions in —70. it really m ea ns such specific conditions in —70. it really means that you need to start vaccinating people in hospitals. but there's been a bit of a change of plan about that. hospitals will be

doing the vaccinating but they will be vaccinating care home staff and inpatient and outpatient who are aged over 80 years old. instead of nhs staff who also obviously are at high risk. a tickly those who work in high—risk settings. that's probably something that is going to disappoint and worry some members of the nhs. apparently according to health policy editor says that some had already booked appointments to get their vaccinations. but it sort of based around this problem. it's a good problem to have but there's 800,000 doses that are coming in first consignment from pfizer. we actually know when the next will come. it's a big batch but it might be the only batch we get for a while. so it's about trying to have to use those resources in the best way possible. does the article go into it than with the care home

staff, will be people distributing it be going into care homes?m staff, will be people distributing it be going into care homes? is that clear? it's not clear at the moment, i'io. clear? it's not clear at the moment, no. because asjessica was clear? it's not clear at the moment, no. because as jessica was saying, the pfizer vaccine that is going to start rolling out from tuesday has to keep at —70 untiljust before it's delivered. the logistics of doing that are really tough. so what the nhs is looking at doing is creating 50 centers across the uk where the vaccine can be taken to and distributed from there. but i think the calculation going on at the moment with a slight change that we've seen in the priority list is that they are concerned that more doses of the pfizer vaccine will not arrive after this first initial batch. with therefore means that priority has to be at stopping the elderly and the most vulnerable, that's people over 80 from getting covid and i did happen hospital. because those of the people that are all susceptible at getting flu in any hospital. the reason they want to initially vaccinate nhs workers

will because they are the ones you can't have a lot of people in hospital. it's a very delicate balance was out to be honest, there's no really answer for the nhs here. the best hope is that more vaccines come online very short shortly. a tickly the astra zeneca vaccine which expecting approval in the next couple of weeks possibly next week. if it does come it's much cheaper, much easier to be stored it can be stored injust a fridge and any gp surgery. that's the kind of thing you can much more take to care homes. again it's very complicated logistic it's of this. i really don't envy the joint committee on vaccination. it's an independent body that's doing there's not being decided by politicians here. it's all about the delicate supply and demand. to be honest, it's going to be impossible what we are attempting is the biggest logistical challenge since the second world war in the very short space of time for top with a very delicate product was up i think you have to give a little bit of leeway when they do have to

change the policy on matters like this. it's eight minefields when it comes to deciding how to go about this. i don't envy them. let's take a breakjust this. i don't envy them. let's take a break just for the this. i don't envy them. let's take a breakjust for the moment, we will come back to coronavirus but another big story. if it wasn't for this virus this would have been dominated by brexit talks. jessica, the ex presses by brexit talks. jessica, the expresses saying what age she keeps blocks talk at 11th hour. the image of michelle barney eight with the dead—end road sign. he's going back to brussels tomorrow. where are we, where aren't we with these talks?” dare to ask. this is the thing that every brexit conversation just to be poured over until we got coronavirus. it's suddenly wrapping up coronavirus. it's suddenly wrapping up again. with finding out because we are in the final throes of this negotiation for some negotiations have taken a seven step backwards. downing street are blaming that on the french law bullying sort of 11th

hour demand —— lobbying. including fishing and uk sources are also saying people are pushing the further and harderfor saying people are pushing the further and harder for assurances about regulation and subsidies. which something that brussels denies. so the atmosphere is not great tonight. negotiators in the cave which is that room in the department for business which we described in the earlier program. but i think there was some hope that there would be some deal being able to be announced by friday for supper it's looking very much like that deadline has been pushed to monday. if we start getting much later than that i think we are really getting into deep no deal territory. we don't know that much about what is going on today. where getting these little nuggets. except we know what they ate. -- eight. the answer is a

deal. we are getting to the final deal. we are getting to the final deal in which there is not until it not deal over the weekend of the probably isn't going to be won by the end of the year because there is this another deadline as well as the fa ct this another deadline as well as the fact that it'sjust this another deadline as well as the fact that it's just a couple this another deadline as well as the fact that it'sjust a couple of weeks until the end of 2020. the government is going to introduce two crucial of legislation for the in the autumn of the internal market building legislation to protect trade within the uk. that hasn't has very contentious parts that has very much upset the eu. from the government that they were there not break international law. that part of bill was taken up by the house of lords was up they will be put back in by the government. at that happens that will be the end and blow up any negotiations. because the eu will say the uk is acting in bad faith, he doesn't want to deal and it's good to break international law. we are expecting that legislation to come early next week. with brexit it always feels like an endless set of deadlines, more moving targets, questions,

uncertainty but i do think there very much is the end game. the cave and negotiations are happening there is no white smoke coming out of it yet. all we are seeing is fast food orders would suggest that the eu is in british negotiators are working very late and very hard to try and get that over the line. it so hard to know at this stage whether these reports from today are an actual problem over there it's just reports from today are an actual problem over there it'sjust a speedbump. again, everybody has to fight harder or at least seem to be fighting hard for particularly boris johnson. he's got a lot of sceptic mps are not like the content of any deal. there's about a good 20 or 30 that want no deal. he's got to look as if he's fought for this. i do think that a lot of what we are seeing here. asjessica said, this is the end game. i think by this time next week we will certainly know if there is going to be a brexit deal or not by the end of 2020. how do they decide what they eat? it's a very good question. i was wondering whether it's put

between both sides here because last night it was pizza from pizza pilgrims. it came in huge boxes was up pilgrims. it came in huge boxes was up there's lots of negotiators we are talking well over 100 people all social distance in this vast business complex was there was a ca rt load of business complex was there was a cart load of sandwiches went in today. would you have to assume was the british delegation. tonight it was leon that came in the fast food chain. maybe it's baguettes for breakfast then we can see that as a positive sign of a deal. 0h breakfast then we can see that as a positive sign of a deal. oh gosh, where going to have to watch tomorrow morning what they get piled in. let's go back to coronavirus. the eye is focusing on the arrival of the vaccine for step it is those dosages, the first dosages are now here in the uk. it sounds like a film the way mi five and advisers we re film the way mi five and advisers were advising ministers. talk us through the angle from the eye. yes. they are arriving in the uk they are

in the central harbour in an undisclosed location. there are concerns i think about potential sabotage or things like that. there is also obviously, the issue of now how this massively complex operation about how to distribute it. we touched a bit on the temperature that the vaccine has to be kept at. but there are loads of other complications. they come in packs of i think about 900 or so doses. but they need to use those doses up really, really quickly full—time and they only last for a certain time once you open a pack. that means u nless once you open a pack. that means unless she is 900 in a row and you end up wasting doses which means it's very difficult to take into ca re it's very difficult to take into care home, there's very few care homes epic. it really is a massive, massive logistical challenge. which will mean probably people are going to be vaccinated in hospitals over

the coming days and weeks. until maybe there is this approval of the other vaccine, the oxford astrazeneca which doesn't quite have those kind of restrictions. still a massively positive thing that these lorries have arrived in the uk. yes, it's a hopeful story that we need to keep the focus on the hope. i think when it comes to this particular vaccine. but the financial times has an image of doctor anthony fauci who has actually been asked by president electjoe biden to remain in his position. as the us governments top infectious disease specialist. he will remain imposed or at least he's been asked to remain imposed. enjoying job items covid—19 team after he takes office. but he is through a bit of a damper on the way the speed with which the speed was approved. doctor felty is one of the

worlds most respected medical professionals. he served —— doctor felty. global experts. doctor felty made these suggestions suggesting nhra had maybe acted too quickly in its eagerness to get the coronavirus vaccine approved and signed off and warned that it may actually undercut the whole process and confidence in the whole process and confidence in the vaccine. he has since clarified his comments. i think he came on the bbc early and said that they were taken bbc early and said that they were ta ken out of bbc early and said that they were taken out of context was on because again, it seemed, it's quite unlike him. yes, the uk has got there first but we know america's fda is hot on his heels. as is european medical agency that the pfizer vaccine is very likely to be authorised by all these bodies in the coming weeks. the idea of doctor fauci casting doubt on the uk's process would not help when america has got to approve it as well. i think the lesson of

this is, everybody's got to be so careful with their language now. because ever since the vaccine was approved twitter and facebook and other social media channels have been full of the most rubbish anti—vax nonsense you can imagine. social media platforms are typically not on top of it fast enough and not shutting this stuff down. you've got to be very careful because the fact is we do need to get this vaccine across the population. particularly the vulnerable parts of the population. at the moment the level of people who are saying they don't wanted the vaccine are quite low. but i imagine it could rise. that's like doctor fauci was quite quick to correct those comments and say that they weren't misinterpreted. because there's no question at all that any corners have been cut. the uk's mhr ais corners have been cut. the uk's mhr a is been widely respected across the world was that nobody is doubting the process they have gone through. they've worked very hard and very efficiently to get the pfizer vaccine out the door and into arms. he actually wanted to come on the bbc just arms. he actually wanted to come on the bbcjust to explain himself. in his word he said what he had said

came out wrong, it was not the may i meant it to be and he apologised. saying he didn't mean to imply any sloppiness. for the very reasons you say. the anti—vax or zen doctors it's crucial that people understand that this was properly, properly approved and went through all the checks strenuously. let's have a look at the mirror. supermarket cash can save our paths. of course we are in this tier system and landlords are struggling, pubs are struggling. they were struggling before covid but many pubs were having difficulties. this has been so devastating. what is this idea that supermarket cash can do? those pups that have been particular hit are the so—called wet pubs that basically only served drink. maybe christmas and a snack but they don't serve meals. they are not the fancy gastropods. those places are in tier 2and gastropods. those places are in tier 2 and not really allowed to open where you've got to have a

substantial meal if you want to order alcohol. a course in wales they aren't serving alcohol at all. the uk trade body, uk hospitality has called for there to be a recovery fu nd has called for there to be a recovery fund set up with money that was essentially subsidies for supermarkets. which supermarkets ended up not needing because it was such a huge surge in demand for supermarkets. particular deliveries during the first lockdown and the 2nd. and that refund from supermarkets, this body is saying could be used as a lifeline for pups who have been doesn't updated by that pandemic. saint give up that tax break that you've got and help the struggling businesses. 0bviously thatis the struggling businesses. 0bviously that is a campaign that the mira has taken up. some supermarkets sainsbury‘s, aldie saying they will hand back almost £1 billion in believed to the government. 0ther

supermarkets yesterday sk two tesco, morrison's making similar comment. some will not. no. ithink it's morrison's making similar comment. some will not. no. i think it's a very interesting case study about responsible capitalism. that the whole furlough scheme was basically a very blunt instrument to pump up the economy during the worst effect of the lockdown. and there's been various reports of the kind of where they've been scammed or ineffective. 0rthere's been they've been scammed or ineffective. 0r there's been money wasted. it really puts the onus on individual companies to try and look at their social responsibility. i think this is very positive news the fact that this money is going back into the chancellors coffers. it could be needed. i think it's the front page of the mirror tomorrow where they've suggested that actually putting that money towards pubs would be such a great thing to do. because when i was wandering through west minister earlier today, a lot of wet pubs opposed to gastropods and all of them close. it was a reminder of

what a dire situation it's going to be. of course the government is in a very difficult situation. it is always going to be different industries that he can want more money and more cash and support. it's got to be very targeted when it sounds. this is a really good idea andl sounds. this is a really good idea and i think it's one that rishi sunak should be definitely looking at. no doubt pubs are really hurting. and we don't want to come the other side of this winter and find that some of our favourite drinking establishments are gone and won't come back. it is the mirror tv chef tom carriage very supportive of oui’ chef tom carriage very supportive of our locals throughout this home lockdown period. let's end onjust a simply stunning picture from the times. i can't get my head around this. i'm gonna let you explain what this. i'm gonna let you explain what this is. it's beautiful but what is going on here? it's amazing. it's the first 3d atlas of the milky way. which is been created in a project

led by british scientist. it maps the constant motion of stars. also has a function in allowing the mass of the galaxy. if you can imagine being calculated with what they are saying is unprecedented accuracy. while we were preparing for this i found the animation of this image which will really encourage viewers to look out. it's just incredible. it shows you the emotion of the stars. which is measured really, really precisely. you can see this flickering shimmer of all the different moving stars across the galaxy. and put some problems in the world in perspective when you see it like that. it certainly does. i'm gonna put sebastian on the spot for something very poignant and a deep thought now to end this addition of the papers regarding this picture. well, i'm going to say it's been a

really great week for a science. when you look at this and i looked at the same diagram jessica has and it really is absolutely stunning. when you look at the kind of our ability and understanding of the universe, the fact that we've developed this covid vaccine in rapid time and the big news from the times this week about unpacking protein folding it's all complicated things people don't fully get their heads around in now include myself in that, it does show that we are in a remarkable era of scientific progress. if things are going to be more exciting developments to come. i think even if you don't comprehend that sheer size and scale of the milky way you can look at and my got something beautiful. it is stunning. nicely done. 0n something beautiful. it is stunning. nicely done. on that optimism and beauty. this beautiful addition of the papers. thank you so much. that's it for the papers tonight. thank you to sebastian and jessica. goodbye for now.

i will see you soon. hello, this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme... 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—1win 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 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 team over time. —— all the time. leicester had already made it through to the next round, but lost 1 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 1 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 1 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 clubs in league 2. championjockey, 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 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. that is all the sport. have a lovely evening. bye for now. hello there. the weather is giving us a real taste of winter. some places have seen snow there is more in the forecast for friday for the real mix forecast for friday for the real mix for rain sleet and snow falling from the sky felt up it will be cold, it will be windy. and this big area of low pressure is really dominating the weather across western europe. bands of wet weather spiralling around. pretty cold air being sucked down from the north. that combination of cold air and wet weather, that is why we are still

seeing sleet and snow. across scotland's snow falling for a time to quite low levels was up could be a brief covering of snow through the central belt. and over high ground ten to 20 cm is possible. could be real travel problems for the high level roots. especially with ice in western scotland. price possible in northern ireland as well as actually start but mainly dry. some showers are whales in the southwest. this band of rain could contain some sleet and wet snow over high ground across some parts of eastern england. these various bands of wet weather will just continue to circulate around our area of low pressure. most of the snow becoming confined to the highest ground. rain at lower levels. a lot of rain piling into eastern scotland for top technicals one or two problems. something a little bit brighter towards the south. it will be windy with gusts around the coast. particular he out west the 50 mph or more and it will be cold. highs between fore and 7 degrees. we will see further areas of wet weather

with some sleet and snow mixed in over the hills as we go through friday night. but the weekend is a story of things very, very slowly coming down. it will stay dryer but cold. 0n coming down. it will stay dryer but cold. on saturday there will be showers around which could again contain sleet and snow over high ground particular of the scottish mountains. more dry weather developing through the day. some styles of sunshine. it still can be chilly with temperatures of five or six or 7 degrees without the winds will fall a little later. those winds will continue to fall during saturday night and mist and fog around which could be quite slow to clear. it stays dull in some places. many spots will cease sunshine just a few showers by this stage. still feeling cold with highs

this is bbc news. i'm kasia madera with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. 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's 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. joe biden says he will ask americans to wear masks for his

first 100
