10:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment withjo phillips and nigel nelson. first the headlines... a further 1,295 people have died in the uk — according to the latest covid figures. but the number of new infections has dropped to its lowest level so far this year. stricter covid restrictions come into force in scotland — with changes to takeaway and click—and—collect services. india launches one of the world's biggest covid vaccination programmes — the government hopes to inoculate 300 million people in the coming months. president—electjoe biden sets out plans to speed up immunisations in the united states —
10:31 pm
promising to vaccinate 100 million people within his first 100 days in office. germany's christian democrats have elected armin laschet as their new leader — a key moment in the race to succeed angela merkel as chancellor. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political commentatorjo phillips and the political editor of the sunday mirror and the sunday people, nigel nelson. welcome to you both. how are you? thank you. we welcome to you both. how are you? thank vom— welcome to you both. how are you? thank yon-— thank you. we will try to squeeze in the cricket for _

10:33 pm
extra beds. the mail on sunday reports the chinese government is under growing pressure to reveal the true origins of the coronavirus pandemic after us intelligence placed a wuhan lab at the centre of the mystery. let's begin with the sunday times. and our music is all over the place tonight. very odd. all arrivals to the uk are facing hotel quarantine. we know the restrictions have been tightened, that you have got to have had a negative covid test 72 hours before you arrive. the idea of hotels is now being drawn up it seems, jo phillips? hotels is now being drawn up it seems, jo phillips?— hotels is now being drawn up it seems, jo phillips? yes, you might aruue, seems, jo phillips? yes, you might argue. and — seems, jo phillips? yes, you might argue. and i— seems, jo phillips? yes, you might argue, and i would _ seems, jo phillips? yes, you might argue, and i would be _ seems, jo phillips? yes, you might argue, and i would be one - seems, jo phillips? yes, you might argue, and i would be one of- seems, jo phillips? yes, you might argue, and i would be one of the i argue, and i would be one of the people who would argue, that this is about ten months too late. this is what new zealand and australia did pretty much immediately last year. it's a mystery to me why people have
10:34 pm
been allowed to come in and out of the country and then hop on public transport and wonder about without these. it is quite common now that if you go somewhere, you go into a place that is a designated place, you can't leave it and you have to pay for it. it seems a little bit late in the day but i suppose with many things that the government does, better late than never. and if it makes things get back to normal and stops mutant strains, which is the real concern here, of getting into the country, then it has to be a good thing. but like everything else, if you are going to do it, you need to do it pretty quickly. it's not exactly that hotels are overflowing with visitors at the moment to stop the whole story in the sunday times has lots of briefings that have been given to the paper by sources well placed to the paper by sources well placed to the cabinet and government about possible easing of restrictions in

10:38 pm

10:39 pm
if there is a new variant that doesn't respond to the current vaccine. as nigel says, it is good news and it is an absolute brilliant tribute to the scientists and people who have just got on and worked with this. and made it happen. in the this. and made it happen. in the independent _ this. and made it happen. in the independent keir— this. and made it happen. in the independent keir starmer - this. and made it happen. in the independent keir starmer tells l this. and made it happen. in the independent keir starmer tells prime minister to end delay on covid enquiry. is there a point in launching an investigation while the pandemic is still so bad? it is launching an investigation while the pandemic is still so bad?— pandemic is still so bad? it is a difficult one _ pandemic is still so bad? it is a difficult one because _ pandemic is still so bad? it is a difficult one because there - pandemic is still so bad? it is a difficult one because there is l pandemic is still so bad? it is al difficult one because there is an argument that says while it is fresh in people's mines you have to do it, and there is little point in doing it in two years time and then spending five years and a lot of money to come up with many pages. we have seen that with so many inquests. a short and sharp enquiry would be quite sensible, i think, but because we need to look at some really basic things. what was wrong with the health service, it was underfunded and under resourced. what about the things where things could have been made to happen more quickly, whether it's getting people
10:40 pm
back into work as volunteers or as paid staff, helping the health service manage. things like how we have dealt with care homes. there are so many issues that are intertwined with other things, like social care policy, work and employment rights and things like that. but i think a short, sharp look at what we have done, what we got right, which is some of the stuff we have talked aboutjust now about science and vaccines, that is being well run, and the testing, test and trace has been an absolute joke. i think it would be a good thing to do it because you get it out of the way, because everybody has got criticisms and everybody has got praise. but i think it would be quite a good thing to do it quite quickly. borisjohnson said six months ago that he would do it, but like so many things he promises... things slip, don't they. thea!r like so many things he promises... things slip, don't they.— things slip, don't they. they do. the sunday _

10:45 pm
the person who is publishing it. i think it depends. sadly, this is on the front of the sunday times with a little picture that says a murderer in his own words, which i am assuming means they have bought the serialisation rights to it. i might be wrong, but that's what it looks like from the front page. it needs to be handled discreetly, i think. that's it for the papers for this hour. jo phillips and nigel nelson will be back at 11:30pm for another look at the papers. coming up next, click.
10:46 pm
every january, the tech world descends on las vegas for the consumer electronics show. it's a massive affair where companies launch their products for the year and fight to be seen and heard over the din. and this year... wind howls. ..not so much. not a casino or convention centre in sight! it's weird, really! after going to vegas every january for 15 years, i was so over it. and then, this year, it turns out i really miss it. i know. ourjanuaryjaunt may not be happening but that doesn't mean that technology is standing still. of course it's not. yeah. ces is still happening — it's online—only — and we're gonna try and bring you a sense of what the show is like. and yes, there will be weird gadgets, there will be big announcements, but there won't bejet lag!
10:47 pm
and i'm still in for a bit of a treat. i'm being spoiled this week by having someone film me remotely using something being shown at ces this year. so you may have heard us mention by now that we're both self—shooting our bits of the show, and that can mean a bit of stopping and starting as we're trying to respond to changes in lighting, or tweaking focus if we move a bit — all the bits that you never need to know about that can be rather fiddly for us. ratherfiddly? it drives me up the wall! well, i did not need to worry about any of that this week — sorry, spencer — as i unwrapped crew in a box. ok, it's not literally a crew inside a box, but it is a high—end plug—and—play studio kit in a box, to be operated remotely. lift the lid and you'll find a 6k camera, a teleprompter, a triple led light panel,
10:48 pm
two microphones and a whole load of leads. once you figure what goes where, you just power it up and you can meet your remote production team. award—winning director ira was one of a trio of hollywood professionals who co—founded the company back in march after realising that production could be disrupted for a while. so i think it was march 17 — i think that was the day that we found out that there would be a lockdown in la and i imagine, like a lot of other people in the business, i panicked, thinking when would production ever come back? my first call was actually to dallas. dallas sterling is a really innovative cinematographer that i have worked with and he is also really great with building things, so i brought him on board and i think within two months, dallas had built a prototype in his garage. as soon as talent receives crew in a box and they plug it in, it immediately connects over bonded cellular, over the internet,
10:49 pm
to a remote operator. and at that time, the remote operator controls all of main integrated components the box. outside of the us, it does need a wi—fi connection, though. but once set up, i had nothing to think about, other than to sit down and talk. let's talk through what you're doing to this image of me. so that's off and that's on. watch your eyes — i'm going to go full—blown. there you go, that is full up. and then i have the ability to control the warmth of it, so that is max cool and this is max warmth. it makes me want to move around and cause more bother to give you more work to do. it's challenging. the box comes with a serious price tag of $55,000, but it is mostly intended for rental use. and this is a high production value set—up, so you have to think about what it's actually replacing. and right now, it maybe just
10:50 pm
keeping things going. phone rings. patrick! currently, it does only offer a static locked—off shot, though, which does limit its uses — but i guess that is not that dissimilar to my at—home click studio anyway. still, it's got to help though, hasn't it? honestly, i am so jealous of you right now. someone, just someone to come and pull focus for me! i'd kill for that! yes! it really did make things easier! now, as we said, ces has moved online this year, and for the organisers, that has been a massive undertaking, a big risk and a huge unknown. so how do you recreate all of that noise, the excitement and the buzz of being in las vegas when you are forced to go online—only? ces is organised by the consumer technology association, and i caught up with its
10:51 pm
president gary shapiro. so we've adjusted in just about every way you can adjust at this point. and it's not been easy, i'm not going to lie! and, you know, we had concerns about the speed and the pace and the offering. to be honest, i was expecting ces online to be this 3d world of virtual conference halls, but it's not — it's a directory of exhibitors. the larger of which will have their own flashy micro sites, but the smaller start—ups, who usually only have a small booth anyway, well, theyjust get a page to upload their presentations to. we get around i would say 20,000 contacts there, so that's a big fallout if you're not there. we are not so impressed currently, because itjust looks like a big phone book of companies in alphabetical order. so i'm thinking it's really hard to be noticed there, unless someone is specifically looking for you.
10:52 pm
a lot of people assumed we would go ar, vr, 3d as you mentioned. and we said we're not going to do that, we're not even going to encourage that because it's too high of a reach, frankly. given the current unknowns, next year's ces will be an as yet unspecified mix of real—world and online events. the pandemic has shown us that we don't really all need to fly to one city to do business. but i can't help thinking that the need to touch and feel the tech and to look each other in the eye will mean that these big, physical events will be back. in a world where no—one
10:53 pm
wants to touch anything at the moment, it is no surprise that contactless payments are now the preferred way to pay. you just tap your card on a terminal to make a transaction. it's done using nfc chips — nfc is nearfield communication — and you get them in your credit cards, on your phone or in smart watches. but these chips, well, they can be put into anything. which explains why i have been sent some headphones, a lipstick, and a chicken. wearables company tappy has partnered with mastercard to put payment chips into practical accessories like rings, watch clasps and watch straps, and non—practical accessories just designed to get media coverage. hmm. which works, apparently. but why might you want a payment chip in something other than a nice, small, thin credit card? let's say if you are shopping in a grocery shop and you are already checking out with a lot of things in your bag. at the same time, you want to take your wallet out or your phone out and pay, you just feel that sometimes,
10:54 pm
it won't be as efficient. so if it is already on your wrist, it isjust much more convenient, it's quicker for the checkout. first, you associate a chipped item to a particular credit card using this cradle and going through a security set up on the accompanying app. and from then on, your whatever it is acts just like a contactless payment card, but with the added advantage that you can activate and deactivate items at will using the app. so there are a few devices featuring at ces that can actually help you avoid touching stuff, and i'm talking work computers, touchscreens, phones, all of that. first up, this wristband by corso. it houses a biosensor that reads muscle movements, so by making gestures, you can control the laptop, the phone, the tablet that you are connected to via bluetooth. it is kind of like using the force. look. click on spencer kelly.
