very cold, frosty start to the day, icy patches, a few fog patches out there too and an area of sleet and snow initially for southwest england, parts of wales, northern ireland, but will push further east across southern england towards the southeast across the midlands during the day as well before stalling and then just pulling away southwards on into sunday evening and clearing. this is ten o'clock in the morning, though. southwest england, sun may brighten up here with a few wintry showers, but as the snow moves eastern within the zone of falling snow here, and again into parts of northern ireland, several centimeters, even to low levels, more into the hills, so certainly some difficult travel conditions. northern england and scotland seeing some sunny spells, a scattering of winter showers towards the northwest of scotland. but it is scotland, northern england, northern counties of northern ireland that see sunday's driest and sunniest weather. but for the rest of england into wales, southern parts of northern ireland, cloud, some outbreaks of snow here, again, some difficult travel conditions, some uncertainty about how far

hello, this is bbc news with reeta chakrabarti. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first, the headlines. in russia, thousands are arrested as supporters of the jailed opposition leader alexay navalny take to the streets. senior doctors call for the maximum 12—week gap between administering the first and second doses of the pfizer coronavirus vaccionation to be halved. the prime minister and president biden speak for the first time since the inauguration — and pledge to work together towards a "green recovery". the american broadcaster larry king
11:34 pm
has died at the age of 87. he had been receiving treatment for covid—i9 in los angeles. in a career spanning six decades, larry king interviewed many of the world's most famous people. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster, penny smith, and chief sports reporter at the sun, martin lipton. let's ta ke let's take a look at tomorrow's front pages. a plea from jonathan van tam for vaccinated people to continue abiding by the rules is the sunday telegraph's top story. and there's a photo of borisjohnson, who had his first phone call with the new us president, joe biden, tonight. the sunday express has the same top story from mr van tam, who is calling for people to be
11:35 pm
patient with the restrictions. the observer says the transport secretary grant shapps is under pressure over a large covid outbreak at the dvla. the sunday mirror says the uk coronavirus deaths could reach 100,000 this week, and that grieving families are calling for an inquiry. a proposalfrom150 independent schools to become vaccination centres is the mail's lead. and the sunday times has been doing polling on the future of the union. it says the majority of people in scotland and northern ireland want referendums on independence. so let's begin, and let's start with that big picture of the prime minister beaming into the phone on the front page of the sunday telegraph. martin, he's clearly pretty chuffed to be the first european leader to get a call from

"go away, merkel, go away, macron, we are number one in europe even though we are out of europe." according to the prime minister, he said tojoe biden that this was a moment of hope in a dark time. not necessarily the view of boris johnson a few months ago, he was closing up to donald trump. but everything changes and he could get alongside the new us president, and that's... particularly where we have to set up a new trade deal, which we know where agreed, and the statement from downing street means there needs to be talks about talks about trade, but nothing significant.

maybe he can persuade him of thejoy of a trade deal at thejese summit in cornwall leader in the year, —— g seven. but i think it is important that the government gets on an even keel that the government gets on an even keel. their suggestion that biden has not forgotten or forgiven johnson for some of the statements he made about barack 0bama and questioning his alleged anti—british sentiments. sometimes older people have longer memories, and i think borisjohnson might be slightly aware of that. do boris johnson might be slightly aware of that.— aware of that. do you think the prime minister _ aware of that. do you think the prime minister has _ aware of that. do you think the prime minister has quite - aware of that. do you think the prime minister has quite a - aware of that. do you think the prime minister has quite a lot i aware of that. do you think the | prime minister has quite a lot of work to do?— prime minister has quite a lot of work to do? ., ~ ., ., ., work to do? you know, the good thing is that if it was _ work to do? you know, the good thing is that if it was - _ work to do? you know, the good thing is that if it was - you _ work to do? you know, the good thing is that if it was - you know, _ work to do? you know, the good thing is that if it was - you know, i'm - is that if it was — you know, i'm sure _ is that if it was — you know, i'm sure that — is that if it was — you know, i'm sure that the _ is that if it was — you know, i'm sure that the fact that he was the first european leader to be contacted, surely that is a good

11:40 pm
look like they will be introduced fairly soon. there are questions about as many as 10,000 a day coming in through the airport, which is an awful lot of people. unsurprisingly, the chancellor said let's be a bit more sensible and look at the places that are covid—19 hotspots. but when everyone in the country is being forced to be restricted in their movements, i think we'll be to see people walking willy—nilly without any controls on them. and i think this sort of measure, harsh as it seems, may be relatively popular, actually. we've all got to share a bit of the pain.— actually. we've all got to share a bit of the pain. penny, what do you think of that? — bit of the pain. penny, what do you think of that? because _ bit of the pain. penny, what do you think of that? because ten - bit of the pain. penny, what do you think of that? because ten days - bit of the pain. penny, what do you think of that? because ten days or| think of that? because ten days or perhaps even longer would be at the
