the british prime minister, borisjohnson, and the european commission president, ursula von der leyen, are to meet in brussels in the coming days. significant differences remain following the latest talks between the two sides on a post—brexit trade deal. millions of people in the us state of california have been placed under a new coronavirus lockdown as cases surge across the country. there's a warning that hospitals are at risk of being overwhelmed. final preparations are being made for the first doses of coronavirus vaccine to be administered on tuesday in the uk. military personnel have been draughted in to set up special distribution centres. and the legendary musician, bob dylan, has sold the publishing rights to his entire music back catalogue to universal music. the deal is reported to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me is the uk political editor for politico, jack blanchard and the ecomonics correspondent at the spectator, kate andrews. welcome back. let's see if we can get some of these papers in the right order. starting with the telegraph says borisjohnson will head to brussels in a bid to break a deadlock in talks over a brexit trade deal. the paper says the prime minister is to take personal charge of brexit trade talks as chances of a deal hang in the balance after negotiators failed to make any "tangible progress". the mail calls mrjohnson‘s decison to travel to brussels "a high—sta kes gamble", saying the talks appeared to be running out of road. the guardian says the move has been seen as an olive branch to the eu —

but, the paper says, chief negotiators have struggled to find common ground despite nine months of talks. for other news, the mirror says that after 61,000 deaths and famillies torn apart the "fightback starts today" — as the first vaccinations against covid—19 take place. —— families torn apart. and the metro features what it says are the first people in britain to get the coronavirus vaccine as 50 hospitals begin inoculating the first 400,000 people to get the pfizer/biontech drug. finally, the times carries both of those big stories for tomorrow — the news that the prime minister is to meet eu chief ursula von der leyen in a bid to break the deadlock — and there is a picture of hari shukla, 87, a former teacher, and his wife, ranjan, who is 83, the couple who are among the first to get the coronavirus vaccine tomorrow. so, let's begin.

welcome back to you both. kate should we start with the times? which is now with the main story with boris johnson heading which is now with the main story with borisjohnson heading for showdown in brussels. not quite clear what day he is going but amongst all the other details that we have heard about over the last few hours, the paper picking up on the fact that the pound dipping 0.3% against the dollar about fears of a no—deal. against the dollar about fears of a no-deal. this is a reminder that no deal does have real consequences attached to it. it's estimated that it could knock off 2% of gdp making oui’ recovery from it could knock off 2% of gdp making our recovery from covid—19 and even steeper hill and could lead to more unemployment. we know one of the reasons that the government has not been open—minded to a no—deal brexit but perhaps less afraid of it than normal circumstances is because they know that hill is big to climb

a nyway know that hill is big to climb anyway and there was a sense earlier in the ear that if you would have a no—deal brexit right now when the economy is having its largest economic contraction in 300 years but i think it will be seen very poorly to see that you want anymore berries on a pathway to recovery and perhaps from a more cynical point of view you can say both the eu and uk at the moment are going to the motions to show everybody try to get a deal over the line to do the right thing. —— want anymore is. that way when the figure point starts both sides can point at each other but my suspicion is when you point back at the briefings and quotes that both sides want to get a deal and the reason the prime minister is going to meet the president of the european commission is because where he thrives. it is where he did last time to get the withdrawal deal over the line speaking in person with leo varadkar, having the line speaking in person with leo va radkar, having those the line speaking in person with leo varadkar, having those difficult conversations made more difficult of resume, there does seem to be good will here but they push back the

deadlines but we are getting very close now, the eu council summit is this thursday and it is thought that if there is not a deal they could put in front of the 27 member states to scrutinise because some of those estates might say we have an issue with this, it is going to be really difficult to meet the deadline of the 31st of december which cannot be extended now. what do you think, jack, because kate is talking about the quenching deal with leo varadkar but that has come back now to cause real promise for the eu in terms of the rewriting of the assets of the withdrawal act? it has come back to because proms are borisjohnson but he knew that at the time when he signed it and i do think the political realities in some ways remain the same now as they did then. in the and it is in boris johnson's political motivation to get an agreement just as it was this time last year and and sol get an agreement just as it was this time last year and and so i fully expected to go out there and do the

same thing again even if it means bending slightly further backwards than he might wish to do so because in the end it will make his government quote more successful and competent if it is capable to strike this big deal he promised danica comes on empty— handed. this big deal he promised danica comes on empty—handed. for all the noise and bluff and bluster, it still remains hugely unlikely that he won't come back with some sort of deal really as much to make his government look a bit better than anything else. we have had such a disastrous year in this country economically and with a public health point of view, he knows the la st health point of view, he knows the last thing we need is another difficult spell coming up for the new year. it is a particular clear, kate, about what is on the table at the moment. both borisjohnson and the moment. both borisjohnson and the eu president want this physical meeting with negotiators to write down what is left but every day we seem down what is left but every day we seem to get some new demands from both sides, ten years now access to uk waters from the french, the

dutch, pulling in behind the french as well and then the british saying they want to go with a northeast atla ntic they want to go with a northeast atlantic deal which would cut europe... this stuff is just appearing at the last minute or stuff that has been overlooked over the last 4.5 years? i think what you're seeing a more pushback from the member states then we have seen before expressing their own personal interest in this and in that sense, the eu has a slightly harder time on its hands perhaps for the first time that boris johnson its hands perhaps for the first time that borisjohnson will feel confident if and when he signs or not size but signs up to a deal that he will be bringing something back that broadly he thinks his mps will go for whereas the key you is unsightly shakier territory given as you say there has been pushed back around fisheries. —— the eu is on slightly shakier territory. we know they have been talking about governance end go for plainfield but two things were certain that it would always come down to these final hours regardless of what else happened this year. that is the

reason this government has wanted to stick to deadlines and not to extend because they know it always comes down to the last minute, and the second thing that is inevitable if we secure a deal is compromise. you would expect still to see it on both sides. the question is whether or not borisjohnson as sides. the question is whether or not boris johnson as jack sides. the question is whether or not borisjohnson as jack it sides. the question is whether or not boris johnson as jack it was sides. the question is whether or not borisjohnson as jack it was too might compromise too much but there ido might compromise too much but there i do think broadly speaking he does have the confidence of his mps. he has always been one of the strongest hard—line brexiteers. has always been one of the strongest ha rd—line brexiteers. really has always been one of the strongest hard—line brexiteers. really he has made his recent portico career out of it and so he will certainly know if he is breaking the redlines of those hard—line if he is breaking the redlines of those ha rd—line brexiteers if he is breaking the redlines of those hard—line brexiteers and whether or not he is pushing things too far. —— his recent put up a career. 0 nto 0nto the male, jack, glass call for a deal. some detail, i have been reading that the eu wanted the commission to be exempt from these rules on state funding. —— onto the daily mail. which seems a something the uk would not a creature bearing in mind that the commission has

already approved sent her 50 billion euros for coronavirus. has that been dropped or is that part of the fog of the lesser negotiations? -- 750 billion. i do not think it is valuable to spectate to much on the exact detail of the negotiations because the briefing and counter briefing that is coming out from both sides is not something you can trust. in some ways it is in the uk's trust. in some ways it is in the uk's interest to suggest the eu is making certain outrageous seeming claims partly because of there is no deal they can work and say at how outrageous they were doing and if there is a deal, they can say that we managed to get them to climb down from a position they never held in the first place perhaps. both sides making big gambits asking for things they know they will never get so they know they will never get so they know they will never get so they know that if they move from the position they would get closer to sunday wanted in the first place. these are just with these negotiations are like in the last minute. no one knows except what is going on in the room except for a small number of people and i will be usually sceptical and have been sceptical of the supper of the last

few days, i forget to take a big step and say that it is a query all size interest yield to be made. i before it is in borisjohnson's to before it is in borisjohnson's to be made, if he comes i put the deal, he will be seen as a success except for a few hartman procedures who would never be happy and he knows that. if he doesn't come back with a deal, he will be paid as a failure and his government and when we see cass of the boards it will be pointed at and said that is your fault. political in the end he is bound to do a deal this week because otherwise it isjust going to make his life even harder. that would be a failure of state practice it well wouldn't? what's going to the daily mirror, and a few of us us time the first people who will be getting the first coronavirus vaccine and the member has devoted its front page to some of the people involved in term of the front wine when it came to this pandemic. involved in term of the front wine when it came to this pandemicm involved in term of the front wine when it came to this pandemic. it is a moving front page and a reminder

that for all of the difficulty that so many have experienced this year, there is now it looks like a way out. some big outstanding questions about the timeline of this about whether or not certain vaccines will be approved by the oxford astrazeneca one which the uk has invested the most and has the most doses secured but the really good news is that the roll—out has begun an 800,000 doses of the pfizer vaccine arriving in the uk and all of them in total very soon which will equate to 400,000 people being able to get the vaccine, that is going to go to care home residents and those who work there and care for them first as it should do. this front page highlights some of those people but also many of the other essential workers that have gotten us essential workers that have gotten us that the crisis of this year, there is a countless number of people of the thing, countless numbers of sacrifices that have been made and hopefully, this is the beginning of something far more optimistic. and on the front page of

the times, jack, a close—up or at some of the first people to get the vaccine some of the first people to get the vaccine tomorrow. some of the first people to get the vaccine tomorrow. hari and hari who are in their 80s. they are in their 805 and he is a doctor as well...|j thought 805 and he is a doctor as well...” thought he was a doctor and i am to blame for that by the parent he is a teacher. he was a doctor in one of the other front pages! exactly, and i think the other front pages! exactly, and ithinki the other front pages! exactly, and i think i said that. but it is good news for them both. front no matter what, that is a lovely me55age news for them both. front no matter what, that is a lovely message as well and that is because it is as we people who have suffered most at the hands of this virus and workers whether it is care home or nhs staff to have done so much to protect and keep some summons of normal life while putting themselves in harm's way throughout this pandemic and so it is fitting to see faces like that

on the front pages of the paces. —— of the pages. we have the head of the nhs suggesting coronavirus will go the way of polio and smallpox but it is going to be a huge operation just which is tickly to get this all out to the people who need it. —— logistically. and that could take a few months? as optimistic as we want to be, we have to be realistic about these timelines, people are talking about spring as the next meaningful moment where perhaps more assertions can be lifted. the prime ministers that we will be with the tier system until spring but we have to hold her horses a bit. hopefully by spring and maybe the best case scenario the vulnerable in the uk will be vaccinated but it doesn't mean that the younger, fitter, healthier people will have received the vaccination yet. much of that consent to the actual roll—out, the operation, or give me one of the biggest projects the nhs is ever going to take on but also comes down

to the timeline for vaccine approval and as! to the timeline for vaccine approval and as i mentioned before if 0xford astrazeneca is approved and is rolled out in a timely manner, then we have more than enough doses to go around. but if it is not approved, it could take longer. 202i around. but if it is not approved, it could take longer. 2021 is not necessarily defined as the year that we just necessarily defined as the year that wejust snap necessarily defined as the year that we just snap our fingers ended august back to normal but i think if 20/20 was the year of the virus, 2021 is our way out of the fibrous and at least we do have that positive note to talk about. let's hope so. 0nto the guardian, jack. mixon max vaccine to be tested for potency. i didn't know about this but i am not very clever. did you know about the mixing up of different vaccines? no, we are all going about the stuff as we go on and what is indicative of it is this unusual situation where this thing is being rolled out as we are still learning about how we can best make it work, this tool or this

combination of different tools because there have been multiple vaccines that have been worked on simultaneously all around the world by different groups of scientists all taking different bets on what might work and what might work best. the result from the child's we've seen so the result from the child's we've seen so far have been so overwhelmingly positive, as good as we could have ever have hoped for, and yet they are so not trying to pioneer if there is even better ways of making them work. all of these vaccines required to doses to be effective in what they are now testing to see is whether if you have one dose of one vaccine and one dose of a different vaccine that could be even more effective than to have the same one and the reason thatis have the same one and the reason that is possible is because these different types of vaccines trigger different types of vaccines trigger different types of immune responses in the body. so if you had a bit of one and a bit of the other, you get a double response from different types of immunity in your body and thatis types of immunity in your body and that is more effective and that could be hugely important because it's notjust could be hugely important because it's not just about could be hugely important because it's notjust about protecting yourself. it's possible if vaccine could stop you from spreading the virus to other people and if that is

the case which we do not know yet, thatis the case which we do not know yet, that is not been tested, there would be hugely significant as to when we can stamp this virus out once and for all. different vaccines in different technologies, the trial scheduled forjanuary, all of this is happening so quickly now, isn't it? it is happening very fast especially based on normal timelines it can feel very slow as we are all social distancing and dealing with these measures but it is a remarkable achievement, an international one, and shows what incredible things can happen when we work together. but this idea of a vexing cocktail has been doing the rounds for a long time, long before we knew how efficient the pfizer and maternal vaccines would be, they're estimated at around 95%, there was talk that in order to get some kind of immunity, utep to take different types of vaccines for such this is expanding on a idea from a positive place that we know vaccines on our own death vaccines can be very

put together. it's also a reminder that the oxford astrazeneca vaccine could be up to 90%... they gave the small cohort a different level of doses than they did the watcher first cohort and it's a reminder that how you administer this vaccine matters very much and that is what they will be trailing, next year. let's go to the metro, should reject? they have the picture of the first to get the jab at the bottom. they call him doctor hari but maybe he is an academic doctor so that might clear that one up. let's go to the one about that because she has got to bejoking. william and kate and an umbrella till 3pm today, nonessential travel in or out. nicola sturgeon doesn't sound overly impressed with their decision to go up impressed with their decision to go up to scotland on some sort of well wishing tour by the royal family in response to the pandemic. i'm not

sure about this when we were talking about it an hour ago i said it was suggested that maybe nicola sturgeon may have overstepped the mark and people in scotland had not like that... in fairness they are a lot less popular in scotland than they are in other parts of the country because of so maybe nicola sturgeon has her populist finger on the pulse in scotland and is absolutely right to be giving them a bit of a kicking. it is a royal tour essential for travel? they say it is for work purposes but are the royal family every essential? what do you think kate? without getting into that fundamental debate, there is no question as to whether or not this was a frosty one when asked directly, "do you think that kate and will should've come up to scotla nd and will should've come up to scotland was michaels what her response was, "well i wasn't going to tell them they could not come in my mind anyway. " to tell them they could not come in my mind anyway." and i don't think thatis my mind anyway." and i don't think that is a welcome but i think nicola

sturgeon is working first and foremost on her independence agenda, she is a success regard was of what you think of her or the snp, she continues to make strides. jackknifing you are right in saying she has some idea knowing what she is doing, —— jack, she has some idea knowing what she is doing, ——jack, i think you are right... this is not a glamourous rail trip. kate and will have come to think essential workers in edinburgh and are going across the uk to thank people for their services, people who have been working in hospitals, train stations. that is a nice thing to do. iam stations. that is a nice thing to do. i am not sure as i would chalk it up to being essential but it is simply in the christmas spirit, joyful, and something that people feel they would need. they are not jetting off, they are not having a really luxurious time. they are thinking people so i do think she will have to play this one quite carefully so as not to be seen as doing anything damaging to their effo rts doing anything damaging to their efforts to make people feel the bit

value. christmas has come early for bob doing in the ft, jack. it certainly has, it appears he's made himself an extremely rich man. 0n the verge of his 80th birthday by selling his whole back catalogue which has soared in value thanks to spotify and other streaming services which mean there is suddenly great money to be made again at these back catalogues. i'm trying to imagine if bob doing 50 or 60 years ago we have approved of bob dylan at this age selling his catalogue for $200 million subway you say that but kate briefly with you now he... he sells his clothes, he does his own whiskey and sauce, he is in a lot of films, it is not as if he is not capitalised and marketed himself. quite right he is a brandon he should do well out of the amazing brand he has built but what is important is bob dylan clearly does know what he is doing and he would

be delighted with quite a lot of extra cash. the article references taylor swift who perhaps is in that young bob dylan's shoes who had her music sold and feels different about it, she feels it has been taken from her and it, she feels it has been taken from herand a it, she feels it has been taken from her and a reminder that while we are talking about huge sums of money that many of us could not even imagine, fora lot that many of us could not even imagine, for a lot of people this is about their wife's were, it is philosophical as much as it is this is. back in the 1960s he was philosophical as much as it is this is. back in the 19605 he was ripped off bya is. back in the 19605 he was ripped off by a manager who had took 50%. kate and jack, thank you both for taking us through that second look at the papers. hello there, i'm gavin ramjaun, and this is your latest sports news. southampton came from behind to beat brighton, and go up to fifth in the premier league. they had fallen behind to a penalty from pascal gross, but pulled themselves leveljust before the break through janik vestergarrd.

and then, with just under ten minutes to go, this foul by solly march on kyle walker—peters was judged by the video referee to be inside the box and a penalty from danny ings made it 2—1. england manager gareth southgate is wary of his side's opponents, after the qualifying draw for european teams for the 2022 world cup. they'll take on poland, hungary, albania, andorra and san marino in games to be played between march and november next year. poland are obviously a very good side. hungaryjust got promoted into the nations league top division, so those two in particular are going to be games that we know will be tough, and the rest are always games, whenever i have played for england or managed england, complicated games to navigate. well, let's see how the other home nations have fared in today's draw. wales have the number one ranked side in the world

belgium in their group e. czech republic could also pose a problem for them, too. a tough task for northern ireland in their draw — they have italy and switzerland to overcome in group c. denmark are the top—seeded side for scotland to take on in group f. they also have familiar opponents israel to contend with. the danes, the austrians have got a really good record recently and obviously they're in point one and point two for a reason. it means they've been consistently better than us over the past few years. so, we have to be careful of them. the israelis we know everything about. we know they're a dangerous team as well. we actually lost to them in the last game we played. so, without being disrespectful to the two minnows in the group, we have to be happy with the draw but very, very wary that it can be a dangerous draw as well. players from millwall and queens park rangers will link arms before kick—off in tomorrow's championship game. the teams will also hold aloft a banner to show their collective commitment towards efforts to rid

the game of racism. it follows the booing of players at millwall, when they took the knee before saturday's match with derby. there were similar scenes at colchester, whose chairman says the club deplored the booing there. we'd like those players that have taken this action to know that they're really supported by the majority of people at the club, you know, 99.9% of people at colchester united absolutely support what the players are doing and we want to make sure they feel that way. so, that's our plan. but i have explained it to the fans, and we ‘ve offered that but i have explained it to the fans, and we've offered that if they can't at least remain silent, then, you know, just let me know, and i'll refund them their season ticket money for the rest of the games, and it would be better for both us and them if they stay away. england's one—day series against south africa has been called off because of continuing concerns over a number of coronavirus cases within both camps in cape town. the first one—dayer was abandoned and they should have been playing the second of three matches today. 0ur cricket correspondent jonathan agnew told us how

the teams' bio—secure bubble has been breached. there is some blame apportioned. i mean, there has been talk about the hotel staff coming and going from the hotel that both of the teams are staying in. well, to be fair, that also happened in the bio—bubbles that we all stayed in last summer in southampton and manchester, so perhaps you need a bit of luck in order for that to go right. but there has now been a development, bearing in mind the bigger picture here is that south africa need, above all, australia took on tour in the new year, but also sri lanka and pakistan are due to come. —— to come on tour. they need to persuade those boards that going to south africa is safe. they don't want thoughts that their bio—secure bubbles can be easily penetrated, so what has happened is that western province who own newlands, they own the local association, have basically pointed the finger of blame at england for going into an area on the practice ground

that was cordoned off and was not part of the bubble at all, it was a practice area that they used without permission. now, england are saying, "we did try and clear it, "but the practice pitches we were given were not "fit for purpose and we had no choice." there is a bit of a blame game going on here. south africa are desperate to prove they are not to blame for this series collapsing, they need these other countries to go there on tour. they are already going to lose about $4 million as a result of this tour going down the pan as it were, and they simply cannot afford for other countries not to come. well, tom curran is in that england squad and was due tojoin up with the sydney sixers for the big bash later this week in australia, but after spending the best part of six months playing in the tightest of restrictions with england, and also the indian premier league, he has opted to return home to be with his family. the sixers say, "the varying conditions we are asking our players "to play cricket in worldwide is taking its toll and we understand "tom's need for a break." and it's been confirmed that "breaking", a form of break dance, will be included in the olympic programme at the 2024 olympic games in paris. it's part of the ioc‘s drive

to appeal to younger audiences. it willjoin other urban sports such as skateboarding, freestyle bmx and 3v3 basketball, which are set to be retained after debuts at the delayed tokyo 0lympics. parkour, that involves running, jumping and climbing over obstacles, has been overlooked. and that's all the sport for now. hello, fog set to because travel headaches for parts of the uk to see morning across southern and eastern counties of england and up into the amendments. some pretty dense and slow to clear through the day across parts of east and get up until lincolnshire where we have had a few showers through the night. there could be one or two icy stretches. further north to windy for four, a blustery day developing across scotla nd

blustery day developing across scotland and northern ireland, cloud outbreaks of rain getting down into northern england and parts of wales. the highest temperatures will be found across western coast of 8—9 degrees chilli where fog lingers. as a going into tuesday night into early wednesday, we would see clouding sherry rain working southeast was, actually across eastern in the, may be frost late in the night, across northern ireland. some brighter weather for the night, across northern ireland. some brighter weatherfor a the night, across northern ireland. some brighter weather for a time, the night, across northern ireland. some brighter weatherfor a time, we could see more rain but it will turn a bit milder.
