10:32 pm
six nations victory over england. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are political commentator jo phillips and political editor of the sunday mirror and the sunday people, nigel nelson. lovely to see you both. i will chat in a moment. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the observer reports that the volume of exports going through british ports to the eu fell by a staggering 68% last month compared with january last year, mostly as a result of problems caused by brexit. the telegraph says millions of people under 50 years
10:33 pm
old will be vaccinated at work under proposals being considered by ministers to accelerate the national roll—out from the spring. the express quotes the prime minister as borisjohnson vows not to let the pandemic ruin the dreams of britain's young. he says: "there are no limits to what they can achieve." the sunday times says amazon and other companies who have profitted during the coronavirus crisis are facing a double tax raid under plans being drawn up by the government to plug the black hole in britain's finances. and the sunday mirror says 750,000 over—75s have not paid their tv licence fee, leaving a £117 million funding hole for the bbc. so let's begin. hello both. joe, you can start off

10:36 pm
first story here a fall in covid cases seems to be slower and poorer regions, joe. cases seems to be slower and poorer regions. joe-— regions, joe. yes, this is definitely _ regions, joe. yes, this is definitely not _ regions, joe. yes, this is definitely not a - regions, joe. yes, this is definitely not a success l regions, joe. yes, this is - definitely not a success story. we've seen this throughout the pandemic. that people who are living in areas where there is greater deprivation are suffering much more. more than people in of the country. what's interesting here, these figures have been compiled by the labour party but also by the house of commons library. in preston the data shows that infection rates fell by 9% between the first week of january and the last full week of the month. so compare that with 0xford, western abington, there was a fall of 72%. not only does this show the terrible inequalities of health outcomes and health risks to people around the country but it also will concentrate the governments mine on how they use
10:37 pm
lockdown. 0urjohnson said he does not want to go back to the tier system. but i think everybody thinks is just nonsense. clearly when you got variations as huge as there is then you've got to think very carefully about how you lockdown. 0therwise carefully about how you lockdown. otherwise or not you'll have the problem of people going from low tier areas orfrom high tier problem of people going from low tier areas or from high tier areas too low. and spreading it. i think what this pandemic has shown, absolutely above and beyond anything is the appalling inequalities in health in this country. we known for years there could be a difference of ten years in your life expectancy depending on where you are fortunate enough to live or unfortunate enough to live. but this shows when you get something i can run a virus, if you got that housing, have got you can got that housing, have got you can go outside, if you've got bad air quality plus all the add—ons of
10:38 pm
people who can't afford to self—isolate because they are working in the gig economy or very low payjobs. i think this is a huge pressure and it should really focus the governments mine before they think about easing up lockdown. in fact, i wonder if you could take us to the front page of the times. it's been described as a tax raid on those that have made money. basically it says online giants. what do you make of that story? i’d what do you make of that story? i'd be delighted if it happens. someone has got _ be delighted if it happens. someone has got to— be delighted if it happens. someone has got to pay for the pandemic. the last time _ has got to pay for the pandemic. the last time the tories did this when after— last time the tories did this when after the — last time the tories did this when after the bank crashed and introduced austerity. it was those who were — introduced austerity. it was those who were least able to afford it who bore the _ who were least able to afford it who bore the brunt of it. i think in this— bore the brunt of it. i think in this particular case it's the ones who've — this particular case it's the ones who've made the biggest profits. firms _ who've made the biggest profits. firms like — who've made the biggest profits. firms like amazon who are up 51% during _ firms like amazon who are up 51% during the — firms like amazon who are up 51% during the pandemic, netflix delivery— during the pandemic, netflix delivery room, there is a whole host of them _

10:40 pm
story on the front page of the times. it's official, delaying the second dose saves lives. this comes from the deputy _ second dose saves lives. this comes from the deputy chairman _ second dose saves lives. this comes from the deputy chairman of - second dose saves lives. this comes from the deputy chairman of the - from the deputy chairman of the joint committee on vaccines. as we all know, there's been a little bit of controversy about this idea that the vaccine is being used, originally the idea was you had one dose and then you had a booster three weeks later. the government decided to make that 12 weeks. because the idea was that you would get more people getting the first dose therefore, you would vaccinate more people and create a greater level of safety. it now appears that actually there is what he calls promising evidence that there is no detriment to the efficacy of the vaccine if the gap is longer. of course there is another argument going on that people who went in on
10:41 pm
the first cohort to get the vaccine under the understanding that they get the next 13 weeks later actually i now sort of like, that's not quite what we signed up for. and in fact the labour peer was talking about it earlier today. she is taking legal advice. there is an argument about if people were expecting it in three weeks i maybe they should of had it. maybe not now the people know there's a 12 week app. it's proved to be working, that's great means. nigel, front page of the express. boris, the use deserve the nations thanks. this is part of an open letter that has been published in the paper from letter that has been published in the paperfrom in eight level student. the paper from in eight level student. ~ ., , the paper from in eight level student. ., , student. what boris johnson is sa in: is student. what boris johnson is saying is there _ student. what boris johnson is saying is there is _ student. what boris johnson is saying is there is no _ student. what boris johnson is saying is there is no limit - student. what boris johnson is saying is there is no limit to i student. what boris johnson is i saying is there is no limit to what generation— saying is there is no limit to what generation lockdown can achieve. unfortunately, the prime minister

10:43 pm
people. i can't imagine that any of them are reading this on the express was up its nonsense. this is the same prime minister that had to be forced into a u—turn over school meals. has made differing mistakes about reopening schools and things. just on that point about mental health and anxiety. of course it had a terrible effect on everybody. and not least of all young people. but i do think we need a little bit of empathy. and by that i mean that the young people who are suffering at the moment and all of us, we do need to sometimes say actually, there are kids around the world in refugee camps, in warzones. and in deep, deep poverty. and there are kids working in factories churning out the cheap t—shirts and things that everybody is so desperate to go back and buy. i do think there needs to be a little bit of let's get this in perspective. but what would help is a prime minister who has something
10:44 pm
more than words to say. and explain to people. because the young people who are coming out of schools and colleges are not going to find it easy to get a job. unemployment is going to go through the roof again. we know the impact was that we were just talking about the impact of any quality across the country. so that is not going to be very helpful but not helpful. if you are young in oxford or abington you probably got 0xford or abington you probably got better prospects than somebody in preston. the better prospects than somebody in preston. ., ., preston. the front page of the observer. _ preston. the front page of the observer, this _ preston. the front page of the observer, this is _ preston. the front page of the observer, this is a _ preston. the front page of the observer, this is a brexit - preston. the front page of the | observer, this is a brexit story. yes. brexit seems to got away a bit and not _ yes. brexit seems to got away a bit and notjust— yes. brexit seems to got away a bit and notjust because of covid. it wasn't _ and notjust because of covid. it wasn't quite the disaster that some of us _ wasn't quite the disaster that some of us might've predicted. i think probably— of us might've predicted. i think probably those of us who aren't remainders became slightly less so with the _ remainders became slightly less so with the vaccine route with europe last week — with the vaccine route with europe last week. but what the observer is saying _ last week. but what the observer is saying is— last week. but what the observer is saying is that there quote in the red haulage association who found that exports from britain and europe fell 60%_ that exports from britain and europe fell 60% last month. what they are

10:46 pm
welcome to click — hope you are doing ok. you probably don't want to hear this, but we are now almost coming up on a year of video calls, zoom meetings, and teams chats. in that respect, at least, i think the world has adapted quite well. unsurprisingly, a lot of innovators have lept to the chance to invent a whole range of video call accessories.
10:47 pm
and my good friend lara lewington is wearing one now. can you spot it? what could possibly be? these are the periphery smart earrings. not only do they help you get your top half dressed up for a video call, but they also provide sound directly into your ear from behind the earring, and there is a microphone just here, as well. it means you can make phone calls or video calls and communicate through these. i'm no expert — i would say they are a little on the big side, but they do match your frock. almost, and they come in different designs. but, as you say, they chunky and could do with being made smaller. the idea is not bad. and talking about not—bad ideas, how about this? what's that? this went viral a month or two ago. it turns out one of the most awkward parts of a video meeting is trying to leave it. i don't know if you have been there, but everybody waves, and with their other hand they hit the leave meeting button, then it turns out that
10:48 pm
you haven't left the meeting, and then you need to click to confirm that you want to leave. this inspired one creative technologist to create the zoomout. to leave a meeting, i pull this... he's gone. you know when you're talking to somebody and you say goodbye in person, and then you end up walking in the same direction? i hate that. exactly. it's like that, but every hour, when you're doing calls all day. you are trying to leave and you say goodbye, and you're fumbling for the leave button. this is brian moore, who created the zoomout. of course we had to make our own. so stephen beckett downloaded the plans that brian put on github, got handy with his 3d printer, and here's is the result. here you go. a pull cord connected to a bluetooth—enabled circuit board that sends an instruction to your computer to end the call. simple and effective. it's a race.
10:49 pm
one, two, three, go. i guess these days, as well, you don'tjust have to make these things for yourself, you can share them with the world on the internet so you can go viral with these things. i feel really good comedians, they make a joke about something that everybody thinks is just something that they experience, but then because they laugh at it because, well, everybody experiences it. the same thing goes with this. i didn't think that many people would — this is certainly something that i experience. it turns out that millions of people who watched this felt the same way. i never know — i'll make something and put it out in the world, and one person will see it, and then sometimes, i will make it, and put it on the web, see what happens, and suddenly blows up and i'm like "wow, i can't believe it." it just struck a chord,
10:50 pm
no pun intended. what are some of the other crazy things that you have built? i built a scooter that is powered by screaming. it's powered by anger. it was for angry birds. it was a scooter with a microphone on it. the throttle didn't work unless you screamed. so, the louder you screamed, the faster it went. the thing i am working on that i have not mentioned is this, which is a polaroid. when you take a photo of somebody, it actually prints out a reverse image recognition photo of them off the internet, which is terrifying. it's a really scary thing. i tried taking a photo of my wife and i printed out a photo i had taken of her seven years ago, because it was on the internet somewhere. brian, can you keep these dumb projects coming, please, because they're brilliant. i can try. it's all i've got in covid. i'm doing this sitting here at home and making these things.
10:51 pm
i've been working home comment from home now for almost a year, and it's safe to say i've done a lot of slouching. and i started getting worried i might be doing myself some harm. i've also been bombarded with instagram ads for this gadget that makes you sit up straight, so i thought i'd give it a go. this is the upright go 2, and you wear itjust at the top of your back. it comes with sticky pads so you can literallyjust stick it to your skin, or you can wear it on a neckband, but i preferred the glue. once it's in place, you tap the button twice to calibrate. then, if you lean forward for a few seconds, it will vibrate, reminding you to sit up straight. that's all there is to it. the application records how long you've been slouching, and how long you have been upright. in my first experiment, i actually turned it the vibration off so the app would just record how much i was slouching at my desk. that was hard to do, because once you're conscious you're
10:52 pm
after a while, i did get used to it, and there were times where i completely forgot i was wearing it. at least once i showered with it on — thankfully, it still works. after using it a few times, those stints where i was wearing it, i was managing to get 80—90% of the time upright. now, i'm lucky i have never had serious neck or back pain, but i wonder if there are health benefits to this. the company makes no health claims on its ads on instagram, but it does make some health—related comments on its website. such as... now, i'm lucky i have never had serious neck or back pain, but i wonder if there are health benefits to this. the company makes no health claims on its ads on instagram, but it does make some health—related comments on its website. such as... so, i spoke to ashleyjames from the uk's charter society of physiotherapy to ask if there's anything wrong with slouching. absolutely not. there's nothing wrong with slouching in moderation, just as the same there is nothing wrong with sitting up perfectly straight. what we know is there's no right or wrong position to sit in. there's only positions that are held for too long. i've seen those posts on social
10:53 pm
media that see if you use your phone too much or we sit it badly in a chair, we're permanently changing the shape of your necks and spine — is that true? yeah, no, there is no good evidence that sitting in any one position will permanently change the position of your spine. the key thing is movement and not to be sat in any one position for too long. the company told me it doesn't make health claims for its products but its research shows that people do sit up more when they use it. well, no surprise there because it buzzes every time you slouched. one thing i notice is it doesn't because if you lean backwards. so, position like this are not ok, but you can sit really badly backwards in a chair and it will never vibrate. purely from a cosmetic point of view i have really enjoyed wearing this, because i know when i see go shopping, i see my reflection in the shop windows, and i'm always hunched over. but now, when the pandemic is over and i get to go to a positive event, i might wear this to remind myself to sit up straight and keep my shoulders back.
10:54 pm
