prime minister theresa may accusing borisjohnson of abandoning britain's position of global moral leadership. it has a picture of the human blair and that fact that he is worth more than his father. —— euan blair. the guardian leads with a government u—turn on mass testing in schools. the paper says the government puts the return of pupils injeopardy by halting plans for mass testing of school children and teachers. the express quotes the prime minister's warning on covid — "relax at our peril". it comes as the highest number of deaths from the virus within 28 days were reported. the telegraph leads with tomorrow's inauguration of american�*s next president. it carries a picture of him saying he plans to reverse trump's policies on tax cuts, covid and the muslim ban.
11:33 pm
the financial times also focuses on america. it leads with republican senate leader mitch mcconnell pointing the finger of blame for the storming of the us capitol at the feet of donald trump. the majority leader for not much longer and he will be the minority leader tomorrow. and its potential misery for many. the yorkshire post leads with weather warnings and fear of flooding for communities over the next few days. —— it's —— its potential. good to have you back. anna what's take off again with you and would start again with the metro. a pretty bold picture with the headline they're using the back of the president and just pointing out all the things that haven't happened over the past 78 days since losing the election. over the past 78 days since losing the election-— the election. that's right and ”ointin the election. that's right and pointing out _ the election. that's right and pointing out that _ the election. that's right and

pointing out that donald - the election. that's right and i pointing out that donald trump the election. that's right and - pointing out that donald trump has in true trom fashion has refused to go to the inauguration tour in one last petty tantrum. he is instead going to be flying on air force one to mar—a—lago, his estate where he spent quite a lot of his presidency already. i think the main thing about summer is not only the end of the trumpet era and the start for the trumpet era and the start for the new president, —— the trumpet era... it is a hugely sobering thing to watch washington prepare for this inauguration with tens of thousands of national guard on standby. looking at these photos from dc from the last two weeks is absolutely staggering. people in camouflage protecting monuments, the whole city locked down. because of the sphere of unrest and the repeat of the mob from two weeks ago. these are scenes that none of us really thought we
11:35 pm
would see in america. and donald trump on the other hand gave his final address today. and said quite interestingly he pointed out that he was the first outsider who had won the presidency and is going out on a defiant note that the movement as he calls it that he started will continue and potentially opening the door to a continued fight from the outside from him and even another challenge if they let him.— challenge if they let him. david, this isiust _ challenge if they let him. david, this is just the _ challenge if they let him. david, this is just the beginning - challenge if they let him. david, this isjust the beginning he - challenge if they let him. david, | this isjust the beginning he said. he also refused to concede for the nth time. but he has been a president unlike any other and it has changed, hasn't it, the world's view of america which is going to take a long time to put back i think. , ., , take a long time to put back i think. , ., . ., ~ think. yes, has it changed america in any way — think. yes, has it changed america in any way at _ think. yes, has it changed america in any way at all — think. yes, has it changed america in any way at all for _ think. yes, has it changed america in any way at all for the _ think. yes, has it changed america in any way at all for the better? . in any way at all for the better?

11:38 pm
across the world and perhaps here as well. ., ., , ., well. one of the main things that most peeple _ well. one of the main things that most peeple in — well. one of the main things that most people in politics _ well. one of the main things that most people in politics around i well. one of the main things that | most people in politics around the world and diplomacy say was quite unique to donald trump is this complete unpredictability and the fact that you never quite knew what he was going to say, who he is going to attack and what he was going to tweet. and while a lot of people laughed about his twitter habits, it was actually a very serious thing to have someone with that much power behaving in such an unpredictable way. and i think that was a real difficulty in terms of foreign affairs. we had several crises with iran at the start of last year, with north korea where people did not know where it could lead and of course it could have potentially lead to something bad. that said, donald trump did not start a war. he
11:39 pm
did not actually pursue aggressive foreign policy in that respect. it was a lot of talk and hot air. certainly compared to more... his roudest certainly compared to more... his proudest moment was the stock market, wasn't it?— proudest moment was the stock market, wasn't it? yeah. i think if he were to — market, wasn't it? yeah. i think if he were to say — market, wasn't it? yeah. i think if he were to say what _ market, wasn't it? yeah. i think if he were to say what he _ market, wasn't it? yeah. i think if he were to say what he would - market, wasn't it? yeah. i think if| he were to say what he would want market, wasn't it? yeah. i think if. he were to say what he would want to be remembered for, it would probably be remembered for, it would probably be the economy and various sort of pet projects he had but in terms of international relations, certainly things will go back to much more even and predictable keel, bear in mind joe biden has obviously been at the top of politics before in government and a large part of a new president coming in is people around the world seeing what they're going to be like trying to protect him and how they're going to work and working around that and with that. let's move on to the daily mail because we have a former prime minister quite critical of the present prime minister from the critical of the present prime ministerfrom the same critical of the present prime minister from the same party. just
11:40 pm
talk us through this, david. weill. talk us through this, david. well, and a previous — talk us through this, david. well, and a previous generation - talk us through this, david. well, and a previous generation long i and a previous generation long before — and a previous generation long before anna was born i suspect, former— before anna was born i suspect, former prime ministers in the 19705 and 80s— former prime ministers in the 19705 and 805 alway5 former prime ministers in the 19705 and 805 always put the boot into their— and 805 always put the boot into their predecessors. one think5 and 805 always put the boot into their predecessors. one thinks of mr heath _ their predecessors. one thinks of mr heath talking about margaret thatcher... | heath talking about margaret thatcher. . ._ thatcher... i thought he 'ust soaked, thatcher... i thought he 'ust soaked. he i thatcher... i thought he 'ust soaked, he didn't * thatcher... i thought he 'ust soaked, he didn't say i thatcher... i thought he just soaked, he didn't say very . thatcher... i thought he just - soaked, he didn't say very much! but when he did say something, he made it when he did 5ay something, he made it very— when he did say something, he made it very clear _ when he did say something, he made it very clear what he thought and i was there — it very clear what he thought and i was there on a few occasions when he did it _ was there on a few occasions when he did it then _ was there on a few occasions when he did it. then you think about mr5 t hack-seat — did it. then you think about mr5 t back—seat driving john major. that has happened rather less in more recent— has happened rather less in more recent times but i suppose what this mail story— recent times but i suppose what this mail story in tomorrow's paper says pretty— mail story in tomorrow's paper says pretty clearly is that it is really repeating what mrs may had made clear in_ repeating what mrs may had made clear in one of or two of her house of commons — clear in one of or two of her house of commons interventions in recent

11:42 pm
the idea was there was not so much daily testing but i think twice a week both student and teachers would have the tests to try and allow schools to operate and manage covid. now, separately to that, there was a plan from the government as part of something called operation moonshot to write much wider spread daily testing in schools with these lateral flow tests that a very rapid tests. and it was obviously something that was quite ambitious. it was also spearheaded by dominic cummings who is a big fan of this operation, a very inexpensive operation, a very inexpensive operation i have to add. and the guardian says that these plans have daily testing went up to put on hold. —— and very expensive operation. testing has been and are being used, there isjust the big
11:43 pm
question about both their efficacy and also as the guardian says, the regulator has not actually approved them to be used at davie in schools. there is a big question my about whether or not this will work and whether or not this will work and whether or not it is actually viable to roll out. —— used daily. whether or not it is actually viable to roll out. -- used daily.- to roll out. -- used daily. david ou to roll out. -- used daily. david you want— to roll out. -- used daily. david you want to _ to roll out. -- used daily. david you want to cover _ to roll out. -- used daily. david you want to cover on _ to roll out. -- used daily. david you want to cover on that - to roll out. -- used daily. david| you want to cover on that before to roll out. -- used daily. david - you want to cover on that before we go to the times? it i5 is no coincidence say that today was ithink— is no coincidence say that today was i think would be the fifth or the sixth— i think would be the fifth or the sixth time _ i think would be the fifth or the sixth time in recent times that labour— sixth time in recent times that labour has called on gavin williamson, poor old gavin williamson, poor old gavin williamson to resign. and you fear that when— williamson to resign. and you fear that when the story of this wretched period _ that when the story of this wretched period that we are living through comes— period that we are living through comes to — period that we are living through comes to be told, it will probably not he _ comes to be told, it will probably not he very— comes to be told, it will probably not be very kind to gavin williamson and the _ not be very kind to gavin williamson and the education department. anna, ou are and the education department. anna, you are looking _ and the education department. anna, you are looking straightfaced - and the education department. fifi�*uas, you are looking straightfaced on that one. what do you think? fin that one. what do you think? on gavin that one. what do you think? 0'1 gavin williamson? well, i think he got neck people are calling for him
11:44 pm
to resign pretty much every other day as david says... —— people are... day as david says... -- people are... ., , �* day as david says... -- people are... ., ,�* ,, , day as david says... -- people are... ., ,�* ,, are... he doesn't speak very often, he aoes are... he doesn't speak very often, he goes weeks _ are... he doesn't speak very often, he goes weeks and _ are... he doesn't speak very often, he goes weeks and weeks - are... he doesn't speak very often, he goes weeks and weeks without. | are... he doesn't speak very often, - he goes weeks and weeks without. and when he he goes weeks and weeks without. fific when he does speak, he goes weeks and weeks without. 2:1c when he does speak, he he goes weeks and weeks without. 2.1c when he does speak, he usually u—turns the next day. when he does speak, he usually u-turns the next day.— when he does speak, he usually u-turns the next day. let's go to the times- _ the vaccine supplies drops. daily jabs have fallen 120,000 since friday. it was always going to be the supply, these targets are very ambitious, david, but they need to supply. why has the supply fallen? according to this story in the times, — according to this story in the times, one the reasons is however extraordinary it seems, pfizer for example — extraordinary it seems, pfizer for example are saying that their supplies— example are saying that their supplies will be lower this month and next — supplies will be lower this month and next as it is upgrading its factory— and next as it is upgrading its factory in— and next as it is upgrading its factory in belgium before increasing production again in march. but you are absolutely right. the targets are absolutely right. the targets
11:45 pm
are immensely ambitious. anything like that, _ are immensely ambitious. anything like that, there are also evidently some _ like that, there are also evidently some problems with the astrazeneca oxford _ some problems with the astrazeneca oxford supplies as well. but we should — oxford supplies as well. but we should see how this develops. the government has got off however critical _ government has got off however critical anybody is of the government and how it has handled the crisis _ government and how it has handled the crisis as— government and how it has handled the crisis as a whole over the past year. _ the crisis as a whole over the past year. very— the crisis as a whole over the past year, very few people i think would be year, very few people i think would he critical— year, very few people i think would be critical on how they have ruled out the _ be critical on how they have ruled out the vaccine until now perhaps, and we _ out the vaccine until now perhaps, and we shall see what will happen over the _ and we shall see what will happen over the next few days. anna and we shall see what will happen over the next few days.— over the next few days. anna it sounds as _ over the next few days. anna it sounds as though _ over the next few days. anna it sounds as though pfizer - over the next few days. anna it sounds as though pfizer had . over the next few days. anna it - sounds as though pfizer had warned people that there would be this dip. do you think the government affected the sin? i do you think the government affected the sin? ~' ., the sin? i think pfizer sanded over the sin? i think pfizer sanded over the next few _ the sin? i think pfizer sanded over the next few weeks _ the sin? i think pfizer sanded over the next few weeks they - the sin? i think pfizer sanded over the next few weeks they may - the sin? i think pfizer sanded over the next few weeks they may be l the next few weeks they may be supply fewer. i think what this highlights is the importance of having the ability to manufacture and put the finishing touches on a vaccine at home and at this is something that was not there at all
11:46 pm
in the uk until last year. and several plans are being rapidly set up, manufacturing capacity is being rapidly boosted but of course it is nowhere near there yet. i remember backin nowhere near there yet. i remember back in early summer last year when the vaccine was just a glint in the eye of the scientists developing it, someone in the government telling me that it someone in the government telling me thatitis someone in the government telling me that it is not about whether or not they can get a vaccine in time. the really big challenge they knew even back then was manufacturing and distribution. as david says, they have done well procuring quite a lot of doses but when something like this happens and pfizer suddenly says it has to repair a factory, there's not really much they can do. o nto onto the telegraph, david. the public against rush to reopen, say ministers. ministers have always claimed that they were in touch with the public mood on this and it is
11:47 pm
interesting when you look at opinion polls about lockdowns, how many people do comply and think it is the right thing to do. i am people do comply and think it is the right thing to do.— right thing to do. i am of the few and i do right thing to do. i am of the few and i do not _ right thing to do. i am of the few and i do not know— right thing to do. i am of the few and i do not know if— right thing to do. i am of the few and i do not know if anna - right thing to do. i am of the few and i do not know if anna agreesj and i do not know if anna agrees with us— and i do not know if anna agrees with us that it is quite extraordinary how the public have complied — extraordinary how the public have complied over a period now of almost a year— complied over a period now of almost a year that— complied over a period now of almost a year that none of us could have foreseen— a year that none of us could have foreseen that we would be in this situation — foreseen that we would be in this situation after this period of time. but ministers may well be right if they believe. i don't believe anybody _ they believe. i don't believe anybody expects the lockdown to be over very _ anybody expects the lockdown to be over very quickly. what this telegraph story says is that early march _ telegraph story says is that early march may see some movement but only a small— march may see some movement but only a small movement. —— the telegraph story~ _ a small movement. —— the telegraph story and _ a small movement. —— the telegraph story. and the tier system will be back— story. and the tier system will be back again — story. and the tier system will be back again with all the problems of people _ back again with all the problems of people who think they have been fairly— people who think they have been fairly -- — people who think they have been fairly —— unfairly treated and all the rest — fairly —— unfairly treated and all the rest of— fairly —— unfairly treated and all the rest of it. and the return of

11:49 pm
from floods a year ago. exactly and as the yorkshire post points - from floods a year ago. exactly and as the yorkshire post points out. as the yorkshire post points out very sadly, a lot of people from the past cases of flooding have it developed ptsd as a result. it's a really traumatic event to happen to anyone and i can't even imagine what thatis anyone and i can't even imagine what that is like in the middle of a global pandemic. there was a cobra meeting held today, some met to discuss the upcoming problem. we are expecting floods in yorkshire the next few days. —— cobra meeting. and then there are strong attacks from labour on the government for not being prepared enough and not preparing for the region enough for potential floods. preparing for the region enough for potentialfloods. ok. preparing for the region enough for potential floods.— sorry but we are out of time. anna and david, thank you both very much indeed and if you are indeed watching in that region affected by floods, i hope you stay safe and stay dry as well. that is our second look at the papers.
11:50 pm
hello there, i'm gavin ramjaun with your latest sports news from the bbc sport centre. leicester city have gone top of the premier league. they shocked everyone when they won it five years ago, but after beating chelsea this evening, they've put themselves well in the race to do it again. andy swiss reports. in this tightest of title races, would it be leicester's turn to rise to the top? beat chelsea and they'd lead the way and they couldn't have asked for a much better start. wilfried ndidi certainly enjoyed it. leicester ahead in a flash of brilliance. and just before the break, it was 2—0. chelsea dithered, james maddison didn't, and the foxes could sense that premier league summit. and the second half soon brought them more chances. jamesjustin really should have put leicester out of sight, as chelsea struggled for any real spark, with the exception of their keeper's reflexes. edouard mendy sparing them a heavier defeat.
11:51 pm
2—0, though, was enough for leicester to go top of the table and five years after they famously won the title, in this strange season, well, you just never know... andy swiss, bbc news. west ham's great start to 2021 continued with a win over west bromwich albion. their third win in a row took them up to seventh in the premier league. jarrod bowen put them ahead on the stroke of half—time. west brom came back though and equalised through this great strike from matheus pereira. but they weren't level for long — and the hammers went back in front through michail antonio. the defeat leaves albion 19th, five points from safety. idid not like i did not like the performance but i like the result. when you are not playing that well and still pick up the results, there is a good sign. sure you are disappointed in how we played tonight but the players put
11:52 pm
in a great effort over two games in quick succession which takes its toll. there could be more to come from this game. the premier league say they are looking into why winger robert snodgrass was left out by west brom, as part of the deal that took him there from west ham earlier this month. sam allardyce would not be drawn on the matter after the game. before i can answer anything that might cause me, west ham or anybody else in trouble, i will wait to see what the premier league has got to say. but, i've got bigger things to worry about than what the premier league think. southampton will play arsenal in the fourth round of the fa cup after coming through their rearranged tie with shrewsbury. it was shrewsbury�*s first game of the year because of coronavirus in the squad. and they went behind early on to a dan n'lundulu goal. james ward prowse made it 2—0 with just a minute of normal time remaining. shrewsbury were being led by their assistant. their manager steve cotterill is in hospital, having spent time in intensive care with the virus.
11:53 pm
it has been a worrying two weeks to be honest. he was in intensive care over the weekend so it was a worrying time for everybody but he has recovered now and been in close contact over the last couple of days and he sent me a text message after the game. he is part of the boys, he is missing them, that is the type of person he is. i had never known him to take a day off since i've known them so this will be coming and not to be here but he has to rest and recover and get back. —— this will be killing him. bath rugby have been forced to close their training ground after a covid outbreak at the club. all players and staff are isolating at home, after a number of positive tests were returned this morning. due to the cancellation of the final two rounds of european champions cup group games, bath's next fixture isn't until the 29th january, when they face local rivals bristol. organisers of the tokyo olympics have said the event will take place this summer and will make a decision on whether to admit spectators in march. despite a rise in infection rates and growing opposition injapan to the staging of the delayed games in tokyo,
11:54 pm

11:56 pm
through the day on tuesday, already mounting up to over an inch in places, and there's a lot more rain yet to come. and as it bumps into the cold air in the north, potential for snow as well. let's focus on the rain because in some parts of england and wales, we could have around 150—200 mm of rain falling over the hills onto ground that's already saturated. river levels are already high. so, this amber warning from the met office highlights those areas particularly saturated at the moment with the high river levels plus the snowmelt to take account of as that also runs into the river systems but it's no means exclusively these areas. as i mentioned, it's wet right the way up into northern ireland and southern scotland with the added potential of several centimetres of snow falling on some parts of the southern uplands, possibly even the central lowlands through the night, and ice, too. further south, it's milder, it's windier, and that south—westerly wind, that moist south—westerly wind, keeps pumping that rain up onto the hills and mountains of england and wales through the day but there'll be some heavier rain elsewhere as well. so, a fairly grey, wet,

windy sort of day and with some risk of snow as well as further rain across some northern areas. so, quite a contrast in our temperature and that really comes into play later in the day on wednesday because as that colder air starts to dig southwards as that low pressure, storm christoph, starts to move out into the north sea and the cold air digs in, it will turn the rain progressively to snow. even at lower levels, potentially 5—10 cm through wednesday night and into thursday. certainly more over the hills. notjust scotland but, exclusively, we could see some across the hills of northern england, too. and the winds by that stage — as the low pressure, storm christoph, moves out into the north sea — get towards gale or even severe gale force winds. so blowing that snow around, blizzard conditions but at least they're blowing that rain away by that stage. however, by that stage, we will have seen significant amounts of rainfall, as i say, and the flood risk is really going to escalate in the next 12—24 hours. then the cold air digs in and things slowly start to quieten down but between now and then, we've got that heightened flood risk across england and wales
11:58 pm
with persistent rain and several hundred millimetres in places, and then that snow risk — heavy snow with drifting and blizzards in the north. the weather warnings and the flood warnings all on the website.
