11:30 pm
this is bbc news with martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment withjoe twyman and lynn davidson. that is when the floor manager brought them to me. you almost saw her. first, the headlines — the health secretary warns people against bending coronavirus lockdown rules in england and backs tough police enforcement. we can all do something to help, which is to stay at home, because every time you try to flex the rules, that could be fatal. and we all have a part to play. with hopes pinned on vaccinations, the government promises that every uk adult will be offered the jab by the autumn. disruption to supermarket supplies in northern ireland as food shipments from great britain become more complex after brexit. and league two's crawley town deliver an fa cup upset, beating their premier league visitors leeds 3—0.
11:31 pm
hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejoe twyman of deltapoll and journalist lynn davidson. welcome to you both. tomorrow's front pages, starting with. .. "covidiots goad cops" — the metro says police will get tougher following a so—called stunt by protesters, allegedly filmed to make officers in dorset look like they'd overreacted. the telegraph say ministers are considering a tightening of restriction as tougher rules on exercise and mask—wearing at work are discussed. the guardian has a similar story, saying stricter rules could be on the way as mass vaccination centres open. the times reports that supermarkets face being legally required to enforce mask—wearing as part of a wider crackdown. "stop bending the rules" — the i says shock tactics are to be deployed in a bid to scare the public into following rules as cases and deaths continue to rise. the daily mail focuses on care homes and the vaccine. they say thatjust one in ten
11:32 pm
vulnerable care home residents have been given the jab. also focusing on the vaccine, the daily express focus on the opening of so—called "superhubs" which will turbo charge the vaccine roll—out. the financial times says that as anger grows over wednesday's riots at the us capitol, senators are resisting calls to impeach president trump for inciting the violence. so, let's begin. starting with the times, shops told to get tough on covid rule breakers. this is a difficult one for shops. they are not the police. no, that's right. and the opportunities that shops have to enforce these kind of restrictions and the staffing that though shops have to restrict behaviour of their customers is limited. there is talk of making the wearing of masks compulsory. certainly in my local supermarket, the wearing of masks is compulsory
11:33 pm
but the wearing of masks is also quite variable. does it cover your nose? do use it as a bizarre balance for your chin with a strap underneath your face? there for your chin with a strap underneath yourface? there is for your chin with a strap underneath your face? there is lots of variation there and people actually going around constantly telling you, that's a difficult thing to ask members of staff to start today. and of course there are not the kind of police resources to go around each of the supermarkets and enforce this. but i think what stories like this and indeed this particular story are trying to do is make it clear that the current behaviour that people are enjoying up behaviour that people are enjoying up and in the country is not enough. and that more is needed. and so stories like this put out a signal that behaviours have to change. around about three quarters people do support the wearing of masks in all public places, indoors and outdoors. but the question is is that enough and will —— more than
11:34 pm
20% of people who are resistant to the idea, will they change their behaviour. it remains to be seen. always good to havejoe with his stats from various polls that he just plugs out of thin air. the telegraph then with ministers considering tightening the lock down because we are still with more liberty than the lockdown in the spring we were not allowed to bubble and had to take an hour of exercise alone each day with people in your household or alone. we are still a bit freer than that. oh, we cannot hear you. oh, no. there you are! yes, not for long because it was that we could potentially have cu rfews. that we could potentially have curfews. those that we could potentially have cu rfews. those support that we could potentially have curfews. those support bubbles may be asked. nurseries are open for now but may be closed. and there could be ofa but may be closed. and there could be of a limit on exercise outside
11:35 pm
just as you mentioned. i think one of the other thingsjust just as you mentioned. i think one of the other things just to heart back to what joe said on shops of the other things just to heart back to whatjoe said on shops is that back in march last year, we we re that back in march last year, we were asked to go to the shop once a week. we were asked if we could and week. we were asked if we could and we we re week. we were asked if we could and we were also asked just ago one person in the household and i think most people would say now that certainly when i go to the market there are often couples or families or more than one person shopping. so what they have seen is that there is increased attrition rates from those who have visited supermarkets recently. and they're looking now at closing things down also places of worship as well as that, and they are hoping that people will pay attention because back in march when people were asked to take part in these restrictions and follow the guidelines, the government ministers and officials were quite surprised to have a people actually adhere to them. the problem is at this time around when they have been almost more partial people have not stuck to them. i think they're hoping some shock tactics now will for people
11:36 pm
into action. it is difficult because people just get tired of it. you live with a new normality but then it's easy to slip into bad habits just because you are tired of observing that level of vigilance. just because you are tired of observing that level of vigilancelj think that's part of it and i think the other thing worth keeping in mind is in march when this was new and crucially there was no light at the end of the tunnel, no good news on the horizon, people aired on the side of caution when it came to attitudes towards the rules. so as lynn mentioned when it came to the market i go on my own or my 0k to ta ke market i go on my own or my 0k to take members of my family? back in march the belief was i will go on my own but now because of the letter of the law allowing different circumstances people do not exercise caution but do the opposite. in a lot of cases, they stretch things and try and get away with more. i think a lot of that is to do with the fact that we now have the vaccine on the horizon and that is
11:37 pm
seen as vaccine on the horizon and that is seen as a vaccine on the horizon and that is seen as a positive thing. and of course it is a positive thing but the impact the vaccine can have may ta ke the impact the vaccine can have may take months, if not years to have an effect. and until then, we are still going to have to stick to these rules and the levers available to the government in terms of new rules look at introducing things they could tighten up our relatively limited. we are in a national lockdown, and as lynn said you could close places of worship that probably will not have much impact. i think the bigger impact will be to do with the enforcement of these rules and we talked about supermarkets being one area where greater enforcement could take place would of course the police could ta ke would of course the police could take ona would of course the police could take on a greater role. and the stories of such enforcement become more widespread and i think we may see a change in behaviour. but for how long that lasts, that of course remains to be seen. these are com pletely remains to be seen. these are completely uncharted territories in terms of human behaviour and we are
11:38 pm
all a real—life experiment. terms of human behaviour and we are all a real-life experiment. we are. the daily express talks about super hubs opening to turbo—charge jabs from monday. now we have got this target which is another stick to the government to beat itself with if they don't meet it of how many people they are going to actually manage to jab. these super hubs, these vaccination centers that are going to be opening up, another seven and i think as the daily express as they will be undertaking forjabs a minute and that is to me and people in the uk that have been jabbed already. according to matt hancock, that is about a third of over 80s and we have got to reach this 13 million target by the middle of next month. can ijust say, you mentioned those over 80 and there is joan collins. joan gets a shot in the arm. she is 87, it is rude to mention her age but she does fit
11:39 pm
into that category. let's move on the daily telegraph saying all adults to receive a vaccine autumn because of these hubs opening. because there have not been much mention of younger adults up until now. this is part of the problem because what we know is that one in three of us can have the virus without knowing it and can spread it. and so some advisers have been telling the prime minister that it is not people being of the missing that when the can open up, about us being able to be over the worst of this by spring but the problem is that you cannot just vaccinate all the over 70s and health care workers and vulnerable and then your people can still wander about spreading it further. everyone needs to be fact that it's we are looking at autumn really for everyone to get vaccinated and that is what the health secretary said today, that by autumn everybody who was an adult will be off of the vaccine. however the daily mail says care homes feel that had been betrayed overjabs
11:40 pm
with bite promises. 0nly that had been betrayed overjabs with bite promises. only one in ten residents have had the vaccine so farand residents have had the vaccine so far and yet we were told these would be the priority recipients. and i think this illustrates the fact that with the government says on the delivery of vaccines is one thing but with the government is able to deliver on vaccines can in some cases and in some areas be something very different. my grandmother is 96 yea rs very different. my grandmother is 96 years old. she has not yet been vaccinated and we hope that this will happen soon but she is one of a number of people over the age of 80 who has not managed it. and actually we talk aboutjoan collins as an example but it could indeed be exa m ples example but it could indeed be examples like that that are helpful in convincing people who are perhaps hesitant or not particularly engaged with the idea that it is good for them to do because making the vaccine available is one thing but actually having everyone take it up is quite another. the data shows that around about one in six people is very resistant to the idea of
11:41 pm
having a vexing and only about two thirds say they are very likely to ta ke thirds say they are very likely to take it. now when you multiply that up, that's millions and millions of people in britain who do not want to be vaccinated. the applications of that in terms of transmission and in terms of infection and in terms of hospital numbers and deaths in the whole lot could be enormous. a keen viewer of the papers, i don't mean you're in collins but i mean your grandmother, is she? of course. especially when you are on. what is her name? my grandmother's name is iris mills if you watch this tomorrow on iplayer. hello, grandmother. glad to have you with us, iris. let's go to the facial times with the senators resisting the desire to impeach donald trump despite the right. the democrats are having a point on this if they can get the republic is on board, we don't know. the democrats are a bit
11:42 pm
torn on this because they want their new presidentjoe torn on this because they want their new president joe biden torn on this because they want their new presidentjoe biden to come in for his first 100 days in office and be able to point his new cabinet and set up his agenda and launch what he wants to do for america. they don't really wa nt wants to do for america. they don't really want that tarnished with an ongoing rabble surrounding the impeachment of the former president. but what they also would like to do is make sure that he cannot run again as president, which is what a successful impeachment trial would mean. meanwhile the republicans and many of them have denounced what happened last week, but would the senators vote against him in an impeachment trial equipment that is not clear either and no one said they would so far. and we had the former republican... he is 73, on a cannot believe that but he is the former governor of california did a powerful speech talking about
11:43 pm
comparing populism of donald trump to nazis in austria that he remembers from his old days describing him as going down in history as the worst president ever. so lots to come still there and we can look forward to hearing more about what he will be impeached or not in the coming days. a quick comment from you on this because different experts think they are different experts think they are different time scales or time limits involved and whether or when and if they can impeach him. general consensus seems to be that donald trump could be impeached after the presidency ends. nothing to say he cannot be in the constitution but of course interpretations of the constitution of the us is a matter for the supreme court, so it could be the case that this is thrown out. but really that is less of an issue for democrats. the more pressing issue for them is if they are to impeach, are there likely to win? in order to when they need 17 senators from republicans. to have said they think he should quit but they are
11:44 pm
elected to vote with the democrats with about think is a big ask and highly unlikely and so if they cannot win it, what you may ask us a point in doing it in the first place? let's get to the telegraph and finish there. get your pe kit on as it is back. most kids are not in school but they are not getting lessons with the temptation is for children to sit too long in front of screens. but back comesjoe wicks to keep us all fit in the sitting room. physical exercise of any kind is hugely important but particularly important at a time like this when people may face stress, anxiety and other mental health issues. so anything people can do to keep active or to increase their exercise is hugely important. and if so what that means looking atjob, then fine, that is up to you. i prefer something else, maybe racing the chancellor of computerised exercise bikes but everyone should attempt it andi bikes but everyone should attempt it and i think it's great he's coming
11:45 pm
back. well avoided using the trade name. the other thing that might be attractive to lots people is the new year, new resolutions, trying to lose those christmas pounds that we have all put on. sojoe probably has a new audience. most definitely. and i'm sure many people up and in the country will be partaking in the work—out and i'm sure there are many other people online as well on different platforms that can tune into this who can get a free work—out. so there is a chance for everyone to try and keep going because goodness knows we need to do it considering how many steps or how much less active we are now that we are trapped in our homes. we have got no excuse basically. plenty people out there prepared to put us through our paces. lovely to see you both. don't know when it will be impersonal but nice to have you down the line. thank you forjoining us tonight. that's it for the papers. dubai paper in the morning or
