this is bbc world news, the headlines russian opposition leader — alexei navalny — has been remanded into custody for 30 days. he was arrested hours after returning to moscow for the first time since being poisoned last year. mr navalny has called for street protests. the fbi is vetting all 25 thousand national guard troops in washington providing security for wednesday's inauguration ofjoe biden. they're looking for possible right wing extremists who may be plotting an insider attack. the rate of coronavirus infection has begun to fall in the uk, as a result of new lockdown measures. in the past 2a hours, less than 40—thousand new cases have been recorded, the lowest number so far this year. the world health organisation has warned that we're on the brink of a catastrophic moral failure over the way vaccines are shared out. it says the current approach will delay the delivery of vaccines to poorer countries.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. joining me are lucy fisher — deputy political editor, the daily telegraph and jack blanchard, uk political editor at politico. let's start with the telegraph, and it reports concerns raised by scientists that people might start ignoring covid rules — once they've been vaccinated. unions say firms are using secret software to spy on staff working from home during the pandemic. that's in the metro. the times says jabs could be diverted to areas that are falling behind on vaccinating the over—80s.

the vaccination effort is on the front page of the guardian too — it says experts want high—risk, minority ethnic groups to be prioritised for covid jabs. the prime minister is vowing that things will look very different by spring — that's in the daily express. away from coronavirus — the daily mail leads with a warning over smart motorways, after the death of two drivers on the m1. the i says pressure is growing on borisjohnson to extend benefit increases worth £20 a week, after a vote in the house of commons. and, a piece of good news in the mirror — it reports that a sick girl has been given a vital transplant, which saved her life.

but start with you jack this time. leading again on the vaccination effort which is going well, jobs diverted to over 80s in vaccination black spots, with the government has not really admitted i don't think, it seems to be a state secret, it's just how fast these supply chains are coming on board, and where they are coming on board, and where they are being sent. the are coming on board, and where they are being sent-— are being sent. the data throughout the vaccination _ are being sent. the data throughout the vaccination programme - are being sent. the data throughout the vaccination programme has - are being sent. the data throughout the vaccination programme has not| the vaccination programme has not been quite as good as we would have hoped, which is strange really because most of what we have seen has a really positive. the so far has a really positive. the so far has been probably the uk's biggest success story of the whole pandemic. we are leaving europe massively as ministers have been dying to tell us over the last few days, in terms of rolling out the vaccination programme which is a hugely positive thing. and it's absolutely right, i think, that if there are some areas that manage to get the most

vulnerable people vaccinated more quickly than others, then returned her attention to those areas. it should not be a postcode lottery of who gets jabs ahead of other people, it should be absolutely done on clinical need as best we can. i think that's what they are trying to do, but it would be great to think that finally the uk is getting something right as important as this. this is the thing that's going to end this in return our life to something approaching normal. it is something approaching normal. it is something the government really needs after the year it has had. we ho -e so needs after the year it has had. we hope so as long as there's not any other terrifying mutations down the line. just on the diversion, does that make sense that if you've got certain spikes in certain areas, you want to meet them, so you can'tjust dole them out necessarily willy—nilly per population, you've got to be quite forensic about this. i think the government needs to tow a fine _ i think the government needs to tow a fine line. _ i think the government needs to tow

a fine line, really. at the same time _ a fine line, really. at the same time we — a fine line, really. at the same time we are going to see these statistics— time we are going to see these statistics of the regional breakdown, and people don't like to see as _ breakdown, and people don't like to see as we _ breakdown, and people don't like to see as we did last thursday, some areas _ see as we did last thursday, some areas of— see as we did last thursday, some areas of the — see as we did last thursday, some areas of the country like the northeast and yorkshire, racing ahead _ northeast and yorkshire, racing ahead and — northeast and yorkshire, racing ahead and other areas like london seeming _ ahead and other areas like london seeming to— ahead and other areas like london seeming to lag. as a bouncer considerations but as jack says, realty— considerations but as jack says, realty we — considerations but as jack says, really we know the older you are the more _ really we know the older you are the more likely— really we know the older you are the more likely you are to be adversely effective _ more likely you are to be adversely effective and become seriously ill and faced — effective and become seriously ill and faced the risk of death. really it should _ and faced the risk of death. really it should be the over 90s and over 80s before — it should be the over 90s and over 80s before you get to the over 75. in a 80s before you get to the over 75. in a concern— 80s before you get to the over 75. in a concern from matt hancock in the pie minister as well that said people have not been back stage yet were over 80 may be hearing the over 70s and vulnerable people will be approached say not to panic because they're in the system that will come through. check you were talking about how the uk compares with other countries, and the times inside, i

think this is on pages six and seven, europe under pressure to speed up and just looking at the lead table i think we are so forth at the moment with a much larger population than israel, the uae and by rain. but doing quite well. yes to reall by rain. but doing quite well. 13:3 to really welcome a by rain. but doing quite well. 19:3 to really welcome a bridge by rain. but doing quite well. 193 to really welcome a bridge and has so far proved to be agile and really proactive on this in a way that other other nations have not. very quick on the blocks to allow a number of vaccines to be used for other countries dead and we've been very quick at rolling it out. seems to be a combination of very good effort by the authorities that make the vaccines and also by the nhs very quickly moving up the gears. we should be delighted about that, but its early days yet. and things of gone wrong too many times of the last year for us to be resting on our laurels. as we said is the most boring thing that will happen this

year so we can get this one right it's a big plus for the government. do river which minister it was that said we got our vaccines out because of brexit which seemed illogical at the time, what has transpired it seems is that europe has not been as united in terms of buying vaccines. and maybe there is a political point if you wanted to make a political point, to be scored there. i think it was kevin _ point, to be scored there. i think it was kevin williamson - point, to be scored there. i think it was kevin williamson that - point, to be scored there. i think. it was kevin williamson that made that _ it was kevin williamson that made that i_ it was kevin williamson that made that. :, , it was kevin williamson that made that. . , :, :, it was kevin williamson that made that. ., :, :, _ ., it was kevin williamson that made that. ., :, :, ., , that. i was going to say that but i was not sure- _ that. i was going to say that but i was not sure. but _ that. i was going to say that but i was not sure. but you _ that. i was going to say that but i was not sure. but you are - that. i was going to say that but i was not sure. but you are right . that. i was going to say that but i was not sure. but you are right is that. i was going to say that but i i was not sure. but you are right is a auestion was not sure. but you are right is a question about _ was not sure. but you are right is a question about the _ was not sure. but you are right is a question about the eu _ was not sure. but you are right is a| question about the eu procurement process, _ question about the eu procurement process, whether there is a clunky as to _ process, whether there is a clunky as to that, — process, whether there is a clunky as to that, and equally we seen this unity— as to that, and equally we seen this unity of— as to that, and equally we seen this unity of the — as to that, and equally we seen this unity of the 27 split by accusations that germany has streamed out ahead and been _ that germany has streamed out ahead and been less collegiate than the rules— and been less collegiate than the rules are — and been less collegiate than the rules are supposedly, it would have countries _ rules are supposedly, it would have countries behaviour. when you look at the _ countries behaviour. when you look at the lead — countries behaviour. when you look at the lead table in the times

already struggling. to cut it off in april while we are still in the midst of this orjust coming out of it is concerning a lot of people, that's why we are seeing this campaign to at least extend that increased rate a little bit further. and there certainly rumours swirling around westminster tonight or around the i—step groups that they are now, that the government is likely to do that the government is likely to do that to at least some extent. the chancellor is pushing back hard, is all too aware ofjust how much this pandemic has cost the uk, and we have not even started to consider how on earth we are going to start paying that money back, and of course is going to mean tax raises sooner or later, the son has him talking to friends warning that it could be an increase in fuel duty. that's something that could unsettle some arenas. but if it's not fuel duty will be something else because as the vast amount of money can buy £300 billion or something that it has cost the nation to try and cope with this pandemic, that money will

have to come from somewhere. if it's not that it will be something else. let's move on to the metro we have several to get through. work from home spies, one in five firms now links to snooping on staff at home to the unions call for laws to block intrusive employers. perhaps people have rather sleep sleepwalk to do quite how much their employer knows about them when they are working from home. is about them when they are working from home-— about them when they are working from home. is the trainer will be of massively escalated _ from home. is the trainer will be of massively escalated by _ from home. is the trainer will be of massively escalated by the - from home. is the trainer will be of i massively escalated by the pandemic went so— massively escalated by the pandemic went so maybe with office jobs will be working remotely from home and often _ be working remotely from home and often on _ be working remotely from home and often on other hardware, laptops, desktops. — often on other hardware, laptops, desktops, phones, provided by their company— desktops, phones, provided by their company or— desktops, phones, provided by their company or perhapsjust desktops, phones, provided by their company or perhaps just with software _ company or perhaps just with software provided by the company downloaded onto their own devices. but the _ downloaded onto their own devices. but the worrying development of the story is— but the worrying development of the story is that some of this software is tracking — story is that some of this software is tracking people, it's looking at the amount of time it takes them to open _ the amount of time it takes them to open an—

good evening... i'm gavin ramjaun — and this is your latest sports news. to the evening's premier league game first — where the pressure continues to pile on newcastle manager steve bruce... his newcastle side were comfortably beaten 3—0 by arsenal at the emirates. after a slow start, the gunners eventually broke the deadlockjust after half time. pierre emerick aubameyang with the first of his two goals to the misery of bruce — who's side also lost to arsenal in the fa cup recently. bukayo saka made it two, after good work from emile smith rowe, aubameyang made the game safe, converting cedric�*s cross late on. they move into the top half of the table, with newcastle struggling in 15th. next — to some strong words from the celtic manager neil lennon — who has criticised what he calls "a barrage of absolute hypocricy" after their trip to dubai, from which he and i3 players had to isolate following a positive coronavirus test. it's now been confirmed a second player has also tested positive following their training camp. with a depleted squad,

celtic have drawn two games — including this 0—0 draw with livingston on saturday and are now 21 points behind the league leaders rangers. last week, the club's chief executive called the trip to dubai a mistake but lennon says although he's sorry some of them had to isolate — all the rules were followed. we did not abuse any privilege. we did the right things, we were absolutely, totally professional. we had a little drink in the afternoon on the day of — completely allowed, no lawbreaking. yet now we come back to this barrage of absolute hypocrisy. england defender kieran trippier�*s ban from playing will stand after fifa rejected atletico madrid's appeal against his punishment for breaching betting rules. he was suspended by the football association in december, but the ban was provisionally lifted

earlier this month, after the spanish club appealed. as it stands, trippier will miss the first leg of atletico's champions league last—i6 tie with chelsea on the 23rd of february, but could return for the second leg in march. phil neville has left his role as england women's manager and has taken over at david beckham's major league soccer side inter miami — in the us. the football association says it will "shortly confirm" an interim head coach, as our women's sport reporterjo currie explains. nevels contract with england was meant to run untiljuly this year. the plan was he would leave to the summers postponed olympic games. the announcement means he leaves seven months early for some it also means now england are looking for a new interim balls fill the gap until they take over in august. it also means they need someone to lead them to those elect big games injuly for that i think when people are back they'll see a certain level of success only on paper. he took over injanuary 2018, he led them to the cup in 2019.

it took them to work up at them all the way to the semifinals. and had qualified in the process. testing is really, did he development them into four months and did he develop his own style? i probably think that's where there are still question marks. wales women have also parted company with their manager today, afterjayne ludlow left the post by mutual consent. she'd been in charge for over six years. the head of the welsh fa says she's played a huge part in the progress of the women's game. they narrowly missed out on qualification for the 2019 world cup and next year's euros. england captainjoe root says his side are heading in the right direction after a seven wicket victory over sri lanka in the first test in galle earlier. resuming on 38 for three. dan lawrence and jonny bairstow knocked off the 36 runs required, needing just over half an hour. england are now unbeaten in six test matches and have won four consecutive tests away from home for the first time since 1957. if we can keep improving all the time, keep learning

from this game and the good things, also the little mistakes that we have made, we will also get better and we will be a very hard side to beat. it was really important that we started off strong this winter and i'm really pleased in the manner that we have done it. and the premier of victoria has dismissed complaints from tennis players — who've suggested they weren't aware the quarantine restrictions ahead of the australian open would be so strict. there are 72 players who're not allowed to leave their hotel rooms, after posititive coronavirus tests were returned by passengers on their charter flights. world number one novak djokovic issued a list of six demands, including reduced isolation and relocation of players to private houses with practice courts. people are free to provide lists of demands, but the answer is no. and that was very clearly put, very clearly laid out beforehand, so the notion that there has been any change, the notion that people weren't briefed, i think that argument really has no integrity whatsoever. and don'tjust take my word for it,

you have got other players who i think on social media and on otherforums have made it very clear that they were clear on the rules. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. storm christoph has been named by the met office and it will bring a double whammy of severe weather and disruption in the next few days. first up is the rain and flooding. this is rain accumulating in the next three days, and the bright colours show where we are expecting the heaviest of the rain. it will be very wet in the welsh hills, but the main concern is the amount of rain expected in the southern pennines and northern peak district. we have an amber rain

warning here that has been extended into the midlands, and parts of eastern england as well. river levels already very high, and the ground is very wet as well. we've got rain developing at the moment across much of england and wales. keeping it mild as the wind picks up. further north, though, it's much colder. frost and some icy patches in northern scotland. but the rain is still around during tuesday, and it will rain all day, pretty much, across northern england and northern ireland. further south across england and wales, after the overnight rain it should be dryer for a while but we will see more rain coming in, especially across wales and the south west. some of that rain pushing into southern scotland bringing the threat of sleet and snow in the southern uplands. it is certainly colder across scotland with a few showers and some sunshine in the north. much milderfor much of england and wales. 11 or 12 degrees with some wind and, of course, some rain. that rain continues, actually, on tuesday evening, tuesday night and into wednesday as well. particularly across england and wales. it should dry off a bit across northern ireland. more wet weather coming into some southern and south eastern parts of scotland threatening some more snow over the high ground as well. again, it's quite cold across scotland and northern ireland,

much milderfor england and wales with more rain on the way. that rain coming from storm christoph, that's the centre of the storm there. it is actually going to strengthen during wednesday night. the winds are really going to pick up as it moves northwards into the colder air there will be more snow falling overnight and into thursday morning. especially in scotland, could be 40 cm of snow and perhaps as much as that over the high grounds, some snow over other hills of scotland and the northern pennines. drier further south, but it will be colder, and it will feel colder in the wind as well. so two main areas of concern, really, the wet weather of the next few days bringing flooding. especially across parts of northern england, the midlands and eastern england. and then as if that was not enough we've got this increasing risk of snow, particularly in scotland with some blizzards and drifting of the snow in the hills.
