our sports correspondent andy swiss reports. dreaming of a football fairy tale. commentator: radford again — oh, what a goal! the fa cup's seen a few over the years. oh, what a goal, mickey thomas! but could marine top the lot? well, the merseysiders have all the ingredients. would you believe it? a last—gasp winner in the previous round from a striker who's a pe teacher, while their midfielder‘s a refuse collector now hoping to dump tottenham out of the cup. obviously seeing the likes of harry kane and mourinho and stuff, it's mad because you watch them on the telly week—in, week—out, you watch them play and then the next minute, you're playing against them. you're going up against them in real life. in fact, the gulf with jose mourinho‘s team is the biggest in fa cup history. tottenham are fourth in the premier league, whereas marine, well, you have to scroll down eight divisions to find them.
10:31 pm
a gap of some 161 league places. you suspectjose mourinho will have never sat in a dug—out that's overlooked by bedroom windows. much of the ground here is surrounded by houses. there are even numbers to tell you which door to knock on if the ball goes into someone‘s garden. the residents have become tv celebrities during marine‘s run. with no fans inside the ground, the likes of the mcdonalds at number 11 will be using every vantage point. oh, yeah, you've got a guy next door in a tree. dave. you've got us, you've the lady next door on her veranda with the champagne, so, yeah, the atmosphere will be fantastic. can marine do it, could they beat tottenham 7 stranger things have happened. at the end of the day, it's the fa cup, isn't it? and guess what, the team even have an fa cup song. # mighty marine...# and how mighty they would be if they can pull off football's ultimate upset. andy swiss, bbc news.
10:32 pm
and good luck to them! and you can watch marine take on spurs live on bbc one on sunday, from ii.30pm. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. this is bbc world news, the headlines hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejohn stevens, deputy political editor at the daily mail, and susie boniface, columnist at the daily mirror. tomorrow's front pages, starting with. according to the daily mail — boris johnson is "begging" families to stay at home — warning the only way to prevent thousands more deaths is to follow the rules. the daily mirror says approval for a third vaccine in the uk
10:33 pm
is the only bright spot on a grim day of statistics — as the worst daily death toll was recorded. the daily telegraph reports there is growing concern in government over noncompliance with the current lockdown — after cases continue to rise sharply. the times says police in england are toughening enforcement of the lockdown — as government scientific advisers fear that public neglect of restrictions could keep infections high for months. according to the ‘i' — police offices are being redeployed — to drive ambulances. while the financial times reflects on the london mayor declaring a "major incident" in the city. saying the spread of the virus in the capital is "out of control." and the sun features tributes to dame barbara windsor, whose funeral took place today. let's begin. thank you so much for giving up to friday evening. what else we would be doing, quite
10:34 pm
frankly. but i appreciated. what week it has been. the first week of january and have a lot to cover. starting with the daily mail and seeing as how it's your paper, let's start with you. we had the worst is statistics for the country and it is a grim milestone and were heading up to 80,000 deaths because of coronavirus and borisjohnson is saying what now? that we need to stay at home and launch this new add campaign they were going to see on tv in the newspapers. it is designed to shock us. to show us images of people severely ill in hospital and we need to act and we've got this virus in one of the tag lines is if you go out, you can spread it and people will die. we've got so used to coronavirus as it's been going on since march and going on for such a
10:35 pm
long time that if i am in the first lockdown, all—encompassing, it's not the same as we go back to that. but, we need to realise that there's number of people and it is higher thanit number of people and it is higher than it was the first lockdown and this new strain of the virus is more contagious and we do need to take it quite seriously. what do you recommend, will the message be clear for people? we would not need this message if you had a prime minister that set the start of march there's going to walk around shaking hands coronavirus patients the tortoise in august to go out and have our schools opened and universities open into injuly was schools opened and universities open into in july was warned by the scientists report this week that there was going to be the potential for a new strain arising in winter if we didn't get a serious crackdown in terms of text in traits and keeping the numbers down. they advised him to do to get to zero, by
10:36 pm
rigorously cracking down with the numbers were low and to completely ignored that advice and in september she reopen the schools and a strainer is the september and it was identified in december on new year's eve and date it was identified in december on new year's eve and data was published saying that the new strain was 70% more transmissible than the old one no circulating in the schools. four days later, he opened the schools. 24 hours after that, chief medical officer said to effectively stage a coup and take decisions out of his hands by raising the other to level five and i'iow raising the other to level five and now we are in a situation where within two or three weeks' time, we are going to be in 100,000 deaths in london is going to be on its own and just london is predicted to be, apparently, perhaps 4000 that short of what actually needs to care for people. we know so much more in this wave of the virus, we know so much more about how to fix it now to help
10:37 pm
people who are suffering from it and there was every possibility that her death rate might get worse because the hospitals and the nurses and the staff do not have the resources and ability to actually help those that are needed. intensive care, you don't have one norse looking after you, she's looking after three people on the shift. —— nurse. people who could survive will die and the reason they would do that is because it is been handled so badly and people that such mixed messages from the government all the way through, well done having an add campaign, but they've also spent the past few weeks refusing to let journalists into hospitals to report oi'i journalists into hospitals to report on this. these centralised all communication so they had to go to the department of health and social ca re the department of health and social care to get approval to your your local hospital and even local journalists and tv stations have not been able to get into report what is happening. now, suddenly there's a crisis and they realise this and need to tell people what's happening
10:38 pm
in there. they should have done it weeks, months ago. looking at what is happening in hospitals. the redeployment of police officers to drive ambulances and touch upon by sissy there, quite forcefully that there is simply emergency services are understaffed and it is not the turn of police officers to get behind the wheel of an ambulance. what she was saying there, we are dealing with a very dangerous virus and borisjohnson is clearly made some mistakes as prime minister and for this thing, saying it is all borisjohnson fault, that is ridiculous. we are dealing with a deadly virus and i think we've become slightly numb to the number system used to these numbers in the numbers in london are so severe. it now looks like one and 30 people are currently sick of coronavirus and
10:39 pm
it's about 115 in london ambulance services are struggling and they've got problems with staffing and police officers helped drive ambulances and so, they have to concentrate on using their paramedics to look after patients rather than describing the ambulances. they've already brought in staff from the service and so, it looks like we might need more measures in london to be part of this to talk about, making it compulsorily to having a mask outside in people united states, washington, dc yesterday, there is outdoor shops and yet wear masks in america. it sounds like the government here is going to start to do something like that. looking at what the times is focusing on. if the story of the two
10:40 pm
sisters that allowed the press, that we have their story, they went, they drove to a beauty spot to a nature reserve and they were holding those take—out reserve and they were holding those ta ke—out cu ps of reserve and they were holding those take—out cups of hot drink and what happened to them? they were fined for preaching the rules and theory. they came across a couple of police office rs they came across a couple of police officers who did not quite know the rules and there is no limit on the distance you should be driving, it's just reasonable to use your common sense, five miles is a reasonable distance to go for a walk to meet up with a family member and derbyshire constabulary, now that this is all become public, we've had the guidance explained a bit further to us, it was not out or the guidance was wrong and will be a lightning to adhere to this stance. in other words, oops. there was never a distance outlined in the guidelines and they never should've up and post
10:41 pm
anything on these two ladies. —— imposed. are there to do was run the number plates, they know they live in the northern come from it's common sense that would've set the five miles is quite reasonable. the state police force that has had problems earlier on in the year when there is out drones to catch people walking their dogs. but nothing quite as public and from atticus derbyshire they seem to be a bit heavy— handed and need derbyshire they seem to be a bit heavy—handed and need some people to explain the rules because they're making some very public mistakes. explain the rules because they're making some very public mistakesm a genuine mistake in terms of yes, they have issued that statement it thinks are bringing that in. they will be engaging this and encouraging and enforcing those fixed penalties but if they are getting it wrong, sir miscommunication as to what the rules are? as their lack of clarity there was it simply that they're being too heavy—handed ? there was it simply that they're being too heavy— handed ?|j there was it simply that they're being too heavy-handed? i think they we re being too heavy-handed? i think they were being too heavy—handed, they
10:42 pm
we re were being too heavy—handed, they were being too heavy—handed, they were being too heavy—handed, they were being to ott on but they were doing. take away cuts and therefore they thought it was illegal but it was ridiculous and goes against common sense. there is a slight problem with the public not quite understanding the rules because they have changed so many times in the third national lockdown, if it has been different each time. the two women on the tv earlier, they thought they were following the rules in fact they were correct, they were following the rules. but people don't quite know what they should be doing and that is a problem in this case is the derbyshire police that did not know, not the general public. let's look at the daily mirror. a third jam and third vaccine has been approved in the uk, yes it's not blue this was partly -- this is going to help get the
10:43 pm
government is actually ordered millions of doses and it's going to come online and again helps the situation but it all depends on how well the government manages to organise the logistics and it is something of her —— a relief. -- a relief. we are that one half million people have already been vaccinated not as many as ideally that hopes to, but they're getting through the people that there is some sort of plan there? is much as i criticise the government, during the vaccines is been one the greater success stories. we have ordered the supplies but they've yet to come here compared to other places like the european union, the government got a lot of flak that he did not go into the eu buying back scheme but it seems like that is paid off. it was if you need to get those vaccines in peoples arms and that's what the government is going to be judged by the next few weeks and if
10:44 pm
they don't manage to get their big target of 15 million people by the end of february, we have to have an extension of the lockdown that think you will see great criticism of the government, including some backbenchers who just will not be happy that is the situation. will have more time later but i want to go onto the daily telegraph which is focusing on donald trump and the staggering images of what happened on wednesday. now, we're looking at various possible situations in the talk of the 25th amendment to be used against him, but even impeachment. they give it donald trump to pardon himself over any criminal charges. it is very unlikely that any attempt to pardon himself would hold water, and you can pardon himself on some crimes, but not all of them and he is facing state and federal prosecutions for
10:45 pm
investigations. any is also facing a £700 million debt, $700 million debt from deutsche bank and if you were to choose this, he would not go into the inauguration, perhaps on the 19th, you will be ordering air force one to take him to a nice safe jurisdiction to where he can be extradited from but i don't think there's any where he can't go over there's any where he can't go over the russians cannot get to him and so, he's never going to leave the white house quietly, his was going to be trying to get out but he's not going to get impeached before january 20. he is going to try and get somewhere where he can roughly try and hold the remains of his dignity together in that he is going to be hounded by debts, banks, russians and new york state and federal investigators for the end of his days. so, i'm quite looking forward to it. i can hear the excitement of your voice. in terms of the impeachment, house democrats, they're not building momentum, it may not go through because we are
10:46 pm
less tha n may not go through because we are less than two
