broke his silence to issue this warning. we are asking them new again to adjust their behaviours on the pitch, goal celebrations, and in and around the beginning and end of matches. we are asking them to adjust their behaviour, and i think they understand why. you've got to follow the rules, and you've got to set a good example. we get the optics, which is why we see ourselves in a privileged position. ministers have made it clear they expect players to respect the so—called no—hug rule in a time of national crisis or risk having the season suspended, but this week it's been repeatedly ignored. why is it taking so much to get the message across? well, it's a very recent adjustment, and we are making these requests and trying to get this message across in pretty quick order, and i think it's going to take time to adjust to the situation, so we need a bit of time to get it right. and if players refuse or fail to do that, managers don't encourage them to do so, what's going to happen? how are you going to enforce this? we have sanctions available to us. the fa's jurisdiction is on the pitch, and if the clubs are breaching
10:31 pm
protocols, then we can take action. so sanctions are available, but i hope they won't be needed. but many are sceptical. england's record goal—scorer wayne rooney, who today was appointed derby county's new manager, says enforcing such rules will not be straightforward. there's many people losing their lives from this disease, so i will give the message to the players to obviously be aware of the goal celebrations, but on the other hand we all understand if players do hug each other, because i know what it's like when you score a goal. a lot of the time your mind goes blank. are we taking the fun out of the game by asking players not to celebrate together as they always have? this isn't forever. this is hopefully until the end of the season, and i think under the circumstances we can make those small adjustments, get to the end of the season, and then hopefully things will return to normal. with a host of matches already postponed, the main goal is to complete the season and how players celebrate after scoring could now be decisive. dan roan, bbc news.

that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what's in tomorrow's papers. with me are the deputy online editor of the newstatesman, rachel cunliffe and the deputy editor of the daily express, michael booker. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the i weekend reports that the uk has shut all travel corridors to try to protect the public from new covid—i9 variants. the daily telegraph has a picture of boris johnson's former wife marina wheeler and his daughter lara on the front page urging women not to put off cervical screening during the pandemic. it also reports on the new travel restrictions, writing that borders will effectively be
10:33 pm
closed from monday. the times adds that everyone travelling to britain will have to produce a negative coronavirus test taken within the previous 72 hours and then quarantine for ten days the mirror reports from the nhs covid front line in an intensive care unit, where doctors say patients are much younger than earlier in the pandemic. the daily mail writes that prince harry is "heartbroken" over his alleged rift with the royal family, according to the itv news anchor tom bradby. the financial times weekend reports on today's landmark court victory for tens of thousands of small businesses who will receive insurance pay—outs covering losses from the first national lockdown. and the star writes that the transport secretary, grant shapps, says he's "the last person to ask" for summer holiday travel advice, even though he's in charge of transport. so let's begin...
10:34 pm
rachel and michael, thank you very much forjoining us this evening. let's talk first about the times front page. britain shuts its borders, travel corridors to close on monday. rachel, all the people saying that while this should have happened quite a while ago or is it the right time now? fix, happened quite a while ago or is it the right time now? a, lot happened quite a while ago or is it the right time now?— happened quite a while ago or is it the right time now? a lot of people sa in: ou the right time now? a lot of people saying you should _ the right time now? a lot of people saying you should probably - the right time now? a lot of people saying you should probably have i saying you should probably have happened around about nine or ten months ago in fact. this is the government decision to suspend travel corridors, and he went arriving to the uk needs a negative test and will then need to quarantine for ten days after that. this is obviously out of fear of the new variant we are seeing in south america, and potentially elsewhere. i think it's the right decision because if there are new variants that we know about that we know may be less effective for the vaccine, the government is very worried about that. the speed concerns make of obviously a massive logistics issues stopping flights and forcing these travel restrictions into play, but
10:35 pm
not come into play until monday morning and when you look at the speed at which the government has made all the decisions such as placing london in the very restrictive tier for in a matter of hours and of course reversing the instructions for children to go back to school last week, that happened at 8pm the night before. they do seem able to enact restrictions very, very quickly in some cases but not on international levels when there is a potentially new and more transmissible strain out there, so i'm a bit confused about the timing of that decision. find i'm a bit confused about the timing of that decision.— of that decision. and correct me if i'm wrong. _ of that decision. and correct me if i'm wrong. but — of that decision. and correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't _ of that decision. and correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't they - of that decision. and correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't they say - of that decision. and correct me if| i'm wrong, but didn't they say that travel bands don't work? the? i'm wrong, but didn't they say that travel bands don't work?— travel bands don't work? they did talk in those _ travel bands don't work? they did talk in those terms, _ travel bands don't work? they did talk in those terms, yeah, - travel bands don't work? they did talk in those terms, yeah, but - travel bands don't work? they did talk in those terms, yeah, but i i talk in those terms, yeah, but i think_ talk in those terms, yeah, but i think in— talk in those terms, yeah, but i think in this _ talk in those terms, yeah, but i think in this case you can see from this press— think in this case you can see from this press conference today with boris _ this press conference today with borisjohnson that they this press conference today with boris johnson that they don't want anything _ boris johnson that they don't want anything to affect what's going on with the _ anything to affect what's going on with the vaccines. when you look across _ with the vaccines. when you look across the — with the vaccines. when you look across the whole of the last year there's _ across the whole of the last year there's not — across the whole of the last year there's not been that many victories that the _ there's not been that many victories that the government have had with

10:38 pm
protect key workers and make sure thatis protect key workers and make sure that is not able to spread and care homes and hospital settings and schools. that's a very different prospect to actually it's not safe to relax anything until everyone has had the vaccine, if we are waiting for everyone to have it we could be waiting another eight months, so i really think that we need to start having a debate now about the government's vaccine numbers goal and at what point in that vaccine programme they can start, notjust relax them completely, but start to relax them completely, but start to relax restrictions because of people out there that have not had a hug for anyone in almost a year. the government _ for anyone in almost a year. the government has _ for anyone in almost a year. the government has said that more under 65 * being badly affected by covid now than before, and that's one of the factors that mean that they have made that decision to shift the goalposts, if you like, as rachel put it. goalposts, if you like, as rachel ut it. �* ~ , . goalposts, if you like, as rachel ut it. �* ~' , ., .,, put it. and think they have to be cautious. put it. and think they have to be cautious- i _ put it. and think they have to be cautious. i think— put it. and think they have to be cautious. i think as _ put it. and think they have to be cautious. i think as chris - put it. and think they have to be cautious. i think as chris whittyl cautious. i think as chris whitty said _ cautious. i think as chris whitty said in— cautious. i think as chris whitty said in the _ cautious. i think as chris whitty said in the press so they come up once _ said in the press so they come up once they—

10:41 pm
just a reminder to the google community that we have to stay focused and work together on this long after individual countries have sorted, you might say, their co—pay challenge —— covid challenge. another story is pfizer warning of the least a vaccine to what's going on with that?— the least a vaccine to what's going on with that? there try to increase the capacity _ on with that? there try to increase the capacity of— on with that? there try to increase the capacity of how _ on with that? there try to increase the capacity of how they _ on with that? there try to increase the capacity of how they can - on with that? there try to increase the capacity of how they can roll. on with that? there try to increase the capacity of how they can roll it | the capacity of how they can roll it out commits with them mob it is 1.3 billion— out commits with them mob it is 1.3 billion capacity that they can do in a year _ billion capacity that they can do in a year. they want to get that to 2 billion— a year. they want to get that to 2 billion and — a year. they want to get that to 2 billion and get that as white and as fast as— billion and get that as white and as fast as possible. to do so they have to change _ fast as possible. to do so they have to change the way that they are but out and _ to change the way that they are but out and with the producers of this going _ out and with the producers of this going to _ out and with the producers of this going to be this short delay obviously the eu where they waiting for stocks. — obviously the eu where they waiting for stocks, there's also the astrazeneca jab that's been going out here — astrazeneca jab that's been going out here as well. so you can see why this concern, — out here as well. so you can see why this concern, but the same time may be a short— this concern, but the same time may be a short delay until more people can get— be a short delay until more people can get their hands on it quicker. at the _

10:43 pm
the new statesman this week about pharmacy saying they could help with the vaccine effort and are local, places that people know how to get to come foot without taking public transport co. they take trust the local doctor or pharmacist to don't have to travel like they would to a new supercenter. i think that that's something that the government is really going to have to tap into. the yorkshire post has an interview with tony blair saying they could be doing a week if they use these resources. it's really all hands on deck and the government needs to avoid this idea that it's only their one big centralizing plan i can fix this, because it's going to take everyone. d0 this, because it's going to take everyone-— this, because it's going to take eve one. ., ., , everyone. do you agree with tony blair neck? _ everyone. do you agree with tony blair neck? the _ everyone. do you agree with tony blair neck? the other— everyone. do you agree with tony blair neck? the other party - everyone. do you agree with tony blair neck? the other party is - blair neck? the other party is makin: blair neck? the other party is making if— blair neck? the other party is making if they _ blair neck? the other party is making if they have _ blair neck? the other party is making if they have to - blair neck? the other party is making if they have to cut - blair neck? the other party is making if they have to cut on | blair neck? the other party is . making if they have to cut on the time _ making if they have to cut on the time between authorizing and getting the jabs— time between authorizing and getting the jabs out, and says that would also speed things up markedly so when _ also speed things up markedly so when you — also speed things up markedly so when you get other vaccines coming online, _ when you get other vaccines coming oniine we _ when you get other vaccines coming online, we just need to get them out
