hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me is the editor of politics home, kate proctor. tomorrow's front pages starting with, sadly, pages starting with, we cannot get over the technology sadly, we cannot get over the technology problems. the metro — which has a stark warning from nhs doctors, who say that hospital beds are running out and emergency patients are being treated in ambulances, due to the coronavirus crisis. the i reports that the number of covid—19 vaccinations will be more than doubled next week to inoculate vulnerable groups by mid—february, according to a leaked government document. the mirror also leads

on vaccinations, writing that high street chemists joined the drive to innoculate the population today. the telegraph reports that outbreaks of covid—19 in care homes have more than trebled in a month, with infection levels now similar to the peak of the first wave. the guardian says boris johnson's plans to test millions of schoolchildren for coronavirus every week appear to be in disarray, afterfailing to be approved by the uk's medicines regulator. the financial times reports that worker protections enshrined in eu law would be ripped up under the government's post—brexit labour plans. the business secretary tonight denied the story, saying workers�* standards would not be lowered. the times writes that more than 150,000 fingerprint, dna and arrest history records have been wiped off police databases in a technology blunder. the mail says covid infection rates are in retreat across most of england, with the r—rate

in the majority of the country now below one. so, let's begin. thank you for being with us and we are going to start with the metro, which is quite, sorry, no beds left is a very stark headline and it is quoting the college of surgeons that describe the situation as calamitous. a situation that we really did not want to be in, but here we are. it really did not want to be in, but here we are-— really did not want to be in, but here we are. it is a very dramatic front page _ here we are. it is a very dramatic front page and — here we are. it is a very dramatic front page and it _ here we are. it is a very dramatic front page and it shows - here we are. it is a very dramatic front page and it shows really - here we are. it is a very dramatic| front page and it shows really the nhs absolutely on the brink. it services completely stretched and they are talking about a patient that was given treatments, not in the hospital but in the back of an ambulance so they started off in the hospital but because there was not a bed for them, there to be let out

and treated from the back of an ambulance, which is really no place that the nhs would want a patient to be and in that position at all and it was very uncomfortable experience of the patient as well. this is an anonymous doctor who was explaining what happened and it's really important that we continue to hear the stories because small examples, they show a much bigger picture of a really horrific position that the nhs is and at the moment and really shows how serious this crisis is and if anything were to prove how much things are at complete breaking point, it's the fact that there are not enough beds and this is from a london hospital, but this is probably happening all of the country and their reports and the other papers about patients actually being moved around up to newcastle, to the midlands because hospitals are being run out of to the midlands because hospitals are being run out o— are being run out of space. the -a er are being run out of space. the paper picks _ are being run out of space. the paper picks up _ are being run out of space. the paper picks up and _

are being run out of space. the paper picks up and it's - are being run out of space. the paper picks up and it's not - are being run out of space. the paper picks up and it's not the l paper picks up and it's not the only paper picks up and it's not the only paper that's picking up on this case, know the four and a half million people across england were waiting to start treatment and different forms of hospitals. that is is agonizing for so many people who need treatment desperately for the conditions. whether it is cancer or operations or what have you. fix, or operations or what have you. very significant figure, 4.5 million people on the nhs waiting lists and a small example here, there are 200,000 people who have been left waiting for more than a year for treatment and that figure was only a thousand people not too long ago. edition so much coronavirus has thrown out normal procedures and registers the way things were, the weight people move through hospitals, it's disrupted and really what is sad is this saying that some of these things are routine treatments but they might be classed as that of medical terms, they might be classed as that of

medicalterms, but they might be classed as that of medical terms, but some of these things, like hip operations, and the operations, that really makes a huge difference to someone's life and people that are in need of help operations are often finding walking very difficult and if you can't walk, other health conditions further down the line. and the routine operations, it says here as well that cancer treatment has been canceled and also the transplants of been halted and i'm not a health reporter but i'm sure the transplant is an extremely serious thing in may even mean the difference between life and death so, i think this story of the health correspondent is really important and it really shows, on top of the story that we had of the metro, how difficult things are for the nhs right now. when it comes to how difficult the situation, i think the daily telegraph this is the most poignant picture. nicely heartbreaking. this is a picture of a

husband and wife. this isjerry and barbara, and image posted by their daughter, reunited as barbara struggles against covid—19. they were allowed to reunite for what is being described as the last time. absolutely desperate and the article that goes with it is that cases have more than tripled and care homes and once again, our most vulnerable at the brunt of this dreadful disease. it feels to me on every front page, we're looking at this evening, there are a lot of startling statistics but that picture is really, really sad and it is to showing a couple there who are saying goodbye to each of the for the last time it's absolutely hard to look at. the telegraph is trying to, it is basically saying that there is a

real problem in care homes and outbreaks of covid—19 have tripled in a month and infection levels in care homes which i'm sure the government thought it was making some headway says those infections are now similar to the peak of the first wave and if you look at the numbers, we have 739 coronavirus infections in care homes and in the last week or so. if we go back to december, the week, couple of weeks before, i think it was 227 and so it shows how much it'sjumped and before, i think it was 227 and so it shows how much it's jumped and this will be surprising and frustrating for those who are responding to this crisis in care homes because testing was supposed to be a big game changers and frustrating for those who are responding to this crisis in care homes because testing is supposed to be big game changers that was supposed to be the thing that was supposed to be the thing that would make such a difference in the telegraph also has some information here about how difficult information here about how difficult in terms of time and in terms of getting people vaccinated and so on the time it takes to vaccinate 100 residents in a care home, you can be

vaccinating more in the care home. the most tricky people to get to vaccinate. i would expect the government, it's a really alarming front page it brings up lots of things about the care home crisis and i have thought that things were getting because of that happened in the first wave that the government was responding a lot more to care homes and it brings a problematic problem that needs to be addressed really quickly. problem that needs to be addressed really quickly-— really quickly. let's have a look at the daily mirror— really quickly. let's have a look at the daily mirror because - really quickly. let's have a look at the daily mirror because it's - the daily mirror because it's looking at the vaccinations and high street commits are being involved in the super drug but so many high streets that are familiar with it. one of six of taking part thus far. 200 more will be added soon and i guess some form of hope on the horizon but this next mission processes coming through. this next mission processes coming throu~h. ,, ., u ., ., ,

through. high street vaccinations are auoin through. high street vaccinations are going to _ through. high street vaccinations are going to work— through. high street vaccinations are going to work for— through. high street vaccinations are going to work for the - through. high street vaccinationsj are going to work for the younger population pretty well and particularly people that are very mobile or people they can get into town. i think that is a really good thing that's being rolled out and very complementary to the vaccine system we are seeing at the moment. some of these huge vaccination centers that we are still looking at the most vulnerable and they are up and running. the need to get order people to these big vaccination centers they have shown that there are some problems, particularly people showing up at the wrong time and i like to think the pharmacies in the high street approach might be one of the most convenient ways you can get through the population and so i would imagine that it's something that will see when people get under the 40s and 50s that might take advantage of that. lots of different pages of negative news and i think that the roll—out of the vaccines in the pharmacy settings is a really good ideas.— a really good ideas. today's front .a i e a really good ideas. today's front -a . e is a really good ideas. today's front page is also _

with global interest lying around the world again and how to do it safely in their thinking of ways to get to a digital passport that would show that the vaccination and at last time, space and issues around privacy and how exactly would you prove that you have the vaccination and would it mean access to medical records and also some countries might actually have a certain type of vaccine that they would want passengers to have. it might be that they do not accept the vaccine. the ideas in its infancy and showing lots of potential problems and caveats, but although it does sound like completely futuristic and sci—fi and i would people are thinking of at the moment, thinking of air travel again thinking of at the moment, thinking ofairtravelagain and thinking of at the moment, thinking of air travel again and getting anywhere close to the type of travel that people enjoyed in the past, some the a vaccine passport might actually be extremely important and it might be the way that countries

will protect themselves from new cases coming in. and so, it's an idea in its infancy but i think it's got quite a lot of legs will probably see a lot more people coming in with these types of plans. it sounds out of this will be getting a vaccine in such a short period of time seemed out of this world into shows how coronavirus is throwing everything upside down. leaving that for the time being, most of the financial times and looking at this idea, this is what the paper has in terms of the government looking at potentially ripping up workers' rights, workers protection which are enshrined in eu law and these are just plans that were being drawn up by the government and in fact, a very quick rebuttal to this from the secretary of state for business energy and industrial strategy. they have

retweeted the story and totally deny that saying we are not going to lower the standards of workers' rights in the uk is on the best workers' rights records in the world and going further than the eu in many ways. protect and enhance workers' rights going forward and not go back on them. talk us through what they are alleging and what we are thinking back to in the post breaks in negotiations where the level playing fields were so important in those negotiations? the important in those negotiations? tue: conservative important in those negotiations? tta: conservative party important in those negotiations? "tt2 conservative party for important in those negotiations? tt2 conservative party for a very long period of time really tight itself up period of time really tight itself up in knots talking about red tape and regulations and there is nothing more totemic than the working week and some of the eu workers' rights directives that some conservative party businesses made a really strong case to say that it was very burdensome and restrictive and when people were arguing about leaving

the eu, often things like this would come up as a reason as to why you would want to move away from the red tape. think about the 48 hour working week and suggested in the story that the government is looking at real regulating —— deregulating and this should give business leaders freedom with the workforce and, the thing is, britain actually, and, the thing is, britain actually, and british workers have been able to opt out of 48 hour working weeks for a very long period of time and they didn't have to stick to it. it's always been a bit of an issue where they discuss things like the eu. but people didn't actually have to do it at all. look at the heart of this. you have a government that is trying to move forward and present brexit in a positive way after all the problems that have been going on on the northern irish border and the train to show the

benefits and the positives of having much more freedom over workers' rights in the uk and they don't have to stick to the eu rules any more. but obviously, laborers become serve here, the shadow business secretary, here, the shadow business secretary, he is and this is a potential downgrade or eradication of peoples rights in the workplace that their use to. if we think at some of the things that involves and at the moment, there should be an 11 hour gap between people shifts, rules about working at night. workers' rights of such a huge area you're rights of such a huge area you're right to say that the business secretary was immediately on twitter to say that if they weren't going to have any kind of downgrading and of workers' rights in the uk but they did not deny the part of the story that they wanted to shake up workers' rights and they want to shake up those rules altogether. and he was a part of a conservative

group over ten years ago now who wrote a book called britannia in chains which was all about a fresh approach to the workplace and i'm not surprised that the stories have reared their head. i am surprised that the government is doing this now. a doesn't really seem to be appropriate when we think about everything that is going on with the pandemic. peoples hours, people losing work, that there will be change in working rights or they'll be quite a difficult thing to sell to the public. we be quite a difficult thing to sell to the public.— be quite a difficult thing to sell to the ublic. ~ 2, �* . ., ., to the public. we don't have a lot of time left- _ to the public. we don't have a lot of time left. if _ to the public. we don't have a lot of time left. if they _ to the public. we don't have a lot of time left. if they were - to the public. we don't have a lot of time left. if they were to - to the public. we don't have a lot of time left. if they were to do i of time left. if they were to do something like that, when that give the uk an advantage and therefore, they could potentially be penalized following the stray deal? thea;r they could potentially be penalized following the stray deal? they could because anything — following the stray deal? they could because anything that _ following the stray deal? they could because anything that you _ following the stray deal? they could because anything that you thinks - following the stray deal? they could because anything that you thinks is| because anything that you thinks is giving the uk an unfair advantage, if you've got a factor in the workers can work more hours compared to the factory in france, the eu could make the point that it is

unfair and it is something that may have to bring the two sides back together to discuss and it could lead to paris being put on the uk products. it could be quite a hostile thing to do. . lets finish on the post. the situation with coronavirus but i also want to look at the image because it is absolutely beautiful. white out strikes because it is absolutely beautiful. white out strikes it causes so much upheaval when we get the serious weather conditions. snow chaos, in order who saw the bus in halifax for the driver was able to get control of it and a lot of images of that bus online but kate, your thoughts on a picture—perfect postcard picture. t5 picture—perfect postcard picture. t3 a lovely paper and the photographers and the way that they present their pages is beautiful and yes, very heavy snow in a nightmare for

drivers but we have a lovely picture there of someone walking where their own problem with what looks to be quite heavy snow and friends that live in yorkshire out there and children having a home from school and enjoying the snow and i think it's some parts of the country. it's very tricky that the weather conditions are also providing since the little bit of fun and what is quite a miserable time for lots of people. we are at a time kate, i really realize they were for the yorkshire post and that is an estimate and on.— yorkshire post and that is an estimate and on. . ., ,, , ., ., estimate and on. kate, thank you for s-ueakin estimate and on. kate, thank you for speaking to — estimate and on. kate, thank you for speaking to me _ estimate and on. kate, thank you for speaking to me and _ estimate and on. kate, thank you for speaking to me and taking _ estimate and on. kate, thank you for speaking to me and taking us - estimate and on. kate, thank you for| speaking to me and taking us through the first editions of the morning papers. have a lovely evening and as always, if you like to get in touch. bbc papers. goodbye. good evening. i'm gavin ramjaun and this is your latest sports news,

from the bbc sports centre. dom bess and stuart broad were the stars for england on the opening day of the first test against sri lanka. england finished the day on top in gaul, just eight runs behind the hosts. joe wilson was watching. escape for a moment into a different world. called cricket. in his 15th year, stuart broad enjoying his year. sri lanka quickly slumped. perera improvised badly. first success for don best. the cricket ground is gloriously nestled alongside the sea, deserted for covid, almost. rob lewis has been waiting to watch england in sri lanka for ten months since their tour was suspended, but no spectators are allowed. the authorities committed rob to sing on the fort for moving him on.

singing. england's players had little preparation but they were sharp. angelo matthews gone. see the ball loop to just butler, but england's luck was in. sri lanka was singled out for 135. best took five wickets. england were now batting. playing it with wonderful control. a bird scattering sweep from the captain as they thrived. england 127 for two and the view getting better. joe wilson, bbc news. 0ne game in the premier league tonight... a goalless draw between arsenal and crystal palace at the emirates. it was a game for few clear cut chances, christian benteke here testing the arsenal keeper bernd leno but neither side looked like breaking the deadlock. arsenal were aiming for their 4th league win in a row.

both sides stay mid—table after the result. well ahead of that game — the premier league, efl and women's super league put out a joint statement, reminding players to follow their covid protocols. there's been plenty of breaches in league and fa cup games recently, with players continuing to hug when celebrating a goal. the leagues say they've introduced enhanced coronavirus protocols for this week's games, adding that they need to be followed if the seasons are to be finished. football hasn't always, has and always will be a game of instinct. if you take the instinct out, it's not that simple. they've been asked to do theirjob, and i understand that, but when they're on the pitch we try to adapt as well as we can. we're football, maybe it won't quite be the case.

that's certainly not an easy line to draw in game and football. andy murray's participation at the up coming australian open is in doubt. after the former world number one tested positive for coronavirus. the tournament starts in three—and—a—half weeks. murray is said to be in good health, and was due to leave in the next two days — but he'll stay at home to self—isolate. and there's a question mark over whether he'll be allowed to travel to melbourne outside of the chartered flights put on by the organisers. maria has said to be in good health but he needs to complete his ten days of self isolation in the uk. he would then need to return a negative test before being allowed to board the flight to australia. now those flights were supposed to be leaving today if they have already left. over the next 36 hours, 15 planes full of players will arrive in melbourne to begin two weeks of quarantine for them in this window of arrival in australia

was very carefully negotiated between tennis australia and the relevant health authorities. what we don't yet know is whether mari will be given permission to arrive late. if he is given the green light then he will still have to quarantine for 14 he be able to play in the events that weeks before the australian open which are also taken place in melbourne park. at least according to be allowed to practice with all the players for five hours a day. potentially could still get himself in the shape he needs to be and to be on that start line for the february game. the olympic 100m hurdles champion brianna mcneal has been provisionally suspended for a violation of anti—doping rules. the american won gold at the rio games in 2016. it's understood that the charge relates to the tampering or attempted tampering with the testing process. it carries a ban of up to four years, and because mcneal has been banned in the past that could be doubled to 8 years. 0lympic bronze medalist nile wilson has announced his retirement from gymnastics following a spate of career threatening injuries. he was part of a golden generation

for british gymnastics, becoming britain's first 0lympic medallist on the high bars in rio and won three golds at the commonwealth games on the gold coast in 2018. posting about his retirment he said gymnastics gave him experiences he could never have dreamed of but his body can't take anymore. i've had a rough year of injuries. specifically since my neck surgery since i had a fusion in my spine. it's just been complication after complication over the last two yea rs. it's got to the point where i really have fallen out of the process no matter how much i given a push. i believe my bodyjust goes, no mate, were not doing this anymore. there was a bit of a shock at the masters snooker in milton keynes. the world number five kyren wilson knocked out at the quarter final stage by david gilbert, who won it on a deciding frame. in the day's other match stuart bingham played sean murphy, the latest from that match is on the bbc sport website and app. and that's all the sport for now.

hello. the rain and snow that fell across many parts of the uk during thursday has been petering out. temperatures have been dropping away. surfaces are really wet out there. so with those wet surfaces and cold conditions ice could be a big problem on friday morning. fog patches as well. here is the frontal system that bring the rain and snow during thursday. but it has been squeezed out by high pressure. the winds have been falling light. that's allowed temperatures to drop. we've got fog patches out there, quite widely scattered actually across the country. and some ice especially for scotland, northern england, the midlands into east anglia and the southeast with snow. if you do have to make an essentialjourney could be some pretty poor traveling conditions. through the day most spots will see some sunshine. it is a drier day overall. shetland and a few places across scotland, north east england,

the midlands will hold onto fog all day long for the top if that happens you'll be pegged back to just one or 2 degrees. even in sunshine it will be a chilly feeling day. and during friday night into saturday rain will push in from the west. i say rain because it bumps into cold air we could still see a spell of snow. especially of the high ground in scotland in northern england. but even to lower levels they could temporarily be a spell of sleet or snow. even as far south as east anglia and the southeast through the first part of saturday morning. as this frontal system works its way eastward. we will see some milder air working its way of any snow will be quite a transient feature. certainly at low levels. it will turn back to rain. even the rain will tend to clear away through the day just a scattering of showers behind. those temperatures climb in particular and western areas. 9 degrees in liverpool, belfast, ten in cardiff and in plymouth. as we head out of saturday into sunday that frontal system moves away. high pressure tries to build in towards the south. that's where we'll see the driest weather on sunday. lower pressure to the north so here we have a greater

chance of seeing showers rain, maybe some hills so across parts of northern ireland. particularly scotland. where is further south for england and wales we'll see largely fine conditions. cloud and sunny spells and temperatures for the most part tween six and 9 degrees. into next week things look pretty changeable. they'll be rain at times but not all the time. it will turn a bit milderfor a while. but how long that will last? we will have to wait and see.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm kasia madera. concern about brazil's new coronavirus variant prompts the uk to impose a ban on travellers arriving from south america and portugal. doctors in the uk warn the virus is having a catastrophic impact on waiting lists for other conditions. after repeated delays, a world health organization delegation arrives in the chinese city of wuhan to look into the origins of the coronavirus. us president—electjoe biden is due to set out his plans to tackle the coronavirus pandemic and the economic fallout shortly, we'll be live in delaware.
