north—west so those temperatures won't be as high as we go through thursday afternoon. looking at highs of around 7—9. there might be a little bit of winter rain this mixed in with the rain over some of the higher mountains in scotland. friday, the south—westerly winds again pumping in the mild air across the country, but again bringing furtherfalls of rain. it will continue to be quite windy at times. temperatures through the afternoon on friday reaching a high widely of between 11—13. as we head into the weekend, it becomes extremely mild for february. what is going to happen is we will start to draw more of a southerly flow of wins, and that will start to drag up some of the warm air from north africa and spain, pushing across western europe, and in across parts of the united kingdom as well. so, saturday and sunday, particularly across parts of eastern england, it is here where we will see temperatures as high as 17 degrees, but it will be pretty mild for most of us. 17, though, way above average

for the time of year. and that warmth lasts on into sunday, as well. so, in short, the week ahead looks completely different. gone is the severe cold and it will turn increasingly mild, very mild indeed, as we head into the weekend. hello, this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment with maya goodfellow and mo hussein. first, the headlines: with 15 million now vaccinated — the goverment says it's hit the first covid vaccination target a day early. it has been a truly national uk—wide effort. we've done it together. and i want to thank each and every person who has helped make it happen. you can be incredibly proud of the part you've played. the prime minister is under pressure from some of his own mps to end covid restrictions by the end of april — ministers urge caution.

anger in myanmar as armoured vehicles appear on the streets of yangon — an overnight internet blackout has been imposed. president trump suggests he could make a political comeback — after he's cleared of his second impeachment trial. the duke and duchess of sussex have announced that they're expecting a second child — a spokesperson for harry and meghan says they're "overjoyed." hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political writer and academic, maya goodfellow, and the former conservative advisor, mo hussein. tomorrow's front pages, starting with pages, starting with the metro.

15 million people vaccinated — the metro's front page focuses on the government hitting it's target and offering a first dose to all over—70s. the front page of the independent also features the uk's vaccination effort as the prime minister warns there's still a long way to go. meanwhile, the guardian says number 10 is pushing back against pressure from tory mps to set a swift timetable to end lockdown. the telegraph looks at new government plans to allow grandparents to see their grandchildren again as early as next month. it's valentine's day, joy for harry and meghan — the sun's front page features the black and white picture of the sussexes as they announce they are expecting their second child. and a different take from the daily star — the same picture — but it writes, that a shy woman famous for hating publicity told the entire world last night, �*i'm having another nipper.”'

let's have a chat about les. mo, let's begin with the times. johnson isa easter escape, optimism grows. how optimistic do you think ministers could afford to be at this stage? i ministers could afford to be at this staue? ~ , , ministers could afford to be at this staue? ~' , , ., ., , stage? i think they still have to be uuite stage? i think they still have to be quite careful. _ stage? i think they still have to be quite careful, because _ stage? i think they still have to be quite careful, because we - stage? i think they still have to be quite careful, because we have - stage? i think they still have to be l quite careful, because we have been here before, there have been various false starts, different times, dates given. not everything has been in ministers' control. we have had a new variant which has taken plans in a different course. yes, optimism is one thing but i do think levelling the people and being cautious, and not overpromising and having to under deliver is the right way to go. i think we have seen a change in

the prime minister, in his own language. he is a bit more grounded, a bit more realistic approach with people, ratherthan a bit more realistic approach with people, rather than let's get everything sorted by christmas. maya, i suppose the dilemma of newspapers is that they are there to get an immediate front page, but what do you make of the story that talks about, for example, households may be allowed to self catered brakes if the virus retreats? very much this idea that whatever we are going to do it we are going to have to do it pretty much on our own. obviously we all want some sense of optimism. _ obviously we all want some sense of optimism, given everything that has happened _ optimism, given everything that has happened over the past year. this times_ happened over the past year. this times story, which they describe it as one _ times story, which they describe it as one ambitious timeline, one of

the options — as one ambitious timeline, one of the options considered as people isolating — the options considered as people isolating together going on self catering — isolating together going on self catering breaks. ithink isolating together going on self catering breaks. i think dominic raab _ catering breaks. i think dominic raab today was right to say that the government cannot commit to any timelinee _ government cannot commit to any timelines. there has been major mistakes — timelines. there has been major mistakes made, obviously on the response — mistakes made, obviously on the response to covid, but also on the messaging — response to covid, but also on the messaging around us. whilst i do understand we all want a sense of optimism — understand we all want a sense of optimism and things to look forward to, but— optimism and things to look forward to, but when you look at the rates of infection — to, but when you look at the rates of infection still across the uk, they— of infection still across the uk, they are — of infection still across the uk, they are still very high. we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that over— shouldn't lose sight of the fact that over 100,000 people have died of coronavirus, and recognising the ongoing _ of coronavirus, and recognising the ongoing seriousness. the vaccine is something — ongoing seriousness. the vaccine is something to be optimistic about but we are _ something to be optimistic about but we are still— something to be optimistic about but we are still a long way off this being — we are still a long way off this being a — we are still a long way off this being a situation in which people are entirely safe and we do not have to worry _ are entirely safe and we do not have to worry about the virus in a major way~ _

i wanted to pick up on the telegraph, because i suppose this is one reason why if you did have a holiday, you might not be so keen on travelling. he threw predicts queues of up to five hours already,. —— he threw predicts. i think that a lot of questions to ask about — i think that a lot of questions to ask about these new travel checks introduce, — ask about these new travel checks introduce, one is why it is taking so long — introduce, one is why it is taking so long for— introduce, one is why it is taking so long for these kinds of checks to be introduced by the government. that is— be introduced by the government. that is an — be introduced by the government. that is an argument now that they are needed, but when the virus is circulating — are needed, but when the virus is circulating around society already within _ circulating around society already within the — circulating around society already within the domestic population, we really— within the domestic population, we really need to focus on that too. what _ really need to focus on that too. what the — really need to focus on that too. what the story in the telegraph is really— what the story in the telegraph is

really talking about is the huge waiting — really talking about is the huge waiting times they will be, but also the fact— waiting times they will be, but also the fact that there aren't enough staff seems to do these checks. in this story— staff seems to do these checks. in this story is, it talks about the government bringing in private companies, like g4 5, some of these private _ companies, like g4 5, some of these private companies that have made a hu-e private companies that have made a huge amount of money during the pandemic — huge amount of money during the pandemic. i think it really does beg the question why they went better prepared — the question why they went better prepared for this. it is nearly a year— prepared for this. it is nearly a year on. — prepared for this. it is nearly a year on, and these kinds of travel checks— year on, and these kinds of travel checks haven't been prepared for in a way— checks haven't been prepared for in a way i _ checks haven't been prepared for in a way i think they should have been. this seems— a way i think they should have been. this seems to me to be acting in a way in _ this seems to me to be acting in a way in which — this seems to me to be acting in a way in which it is unclear why they take long — way in which it is unclear why they take long to dispense a but when they do— take long to dispense a but when they do it — take long to dispense a but when they do it seems a bit of a mess. mo, _ they do it seems a bit of a mess. mo. what — they do it seems a bit of a mess. mo. what is _ they do it seems a bit of a mess. mo, what is your take on this? | mo, what is your take on this? i think is fair point that has taken a

while to get here. other countries of the day earlier on. america close their bodies very quickly and they still have got one of the highest rates of transmission and infection. i think the government has signalled quite a while ago it was going to do this. there has been sufficient time to at least get some of the things ready. they still need to get more hotel rooms, which i think is happening. that is always a difference between the vision and high—level ambition and the delivery on the ground. things will undoubtedly go wrong. if this is another way of containing the virus and potentially protecting us against new variants, then i think is better than that we are doing this, and probably we should have done a while ago. lets this, and probably we should have done a while ago.— done a while ago. lets look at the front of the _ done a while ago. lets look at the front of the financial— done a while ago. lets look at the front of the financial times, - done a while ago. lets look at the front of the financial times, you | front of the financial times, you did your time front of the financial times, you did yourtime as front of the financial times, you did your time as a special adviser in whitehall. this is an intriguing

story. forall we in whitehall. this is an intriguing story. for all we have heard about tough action by government government on online companies, vertically from people who have shops. it turns out the number of cases being referred by the tax body has dropped dramatically from thousand to less than 100. it is uuite thousand to less than 100. it is quite shocking _ thousand to less than 100. it is quite shocking to _ thousand to less than 100. it 3 quite shocking to see this. particularly when your time to get the economy back, thinking about high streets, thinking about cities all over the uk and people spending money again, that is going to be a real tension between the physical high street. obviously, people have been buying things online because of lockdown, because is a lot easier for people to do that. the government has to get the balance right again, whilst looking at things like business rates and other things like business rates and other things to incentivise people once we

reverse the lockdown. i think the other challenge is that is a real desire to try and address what people see as the wrongs of the tech world is, what things are happening online and people are getting away with, and i think the idea that people have not been paying their taxes in the way they should have been, particularly when at the treasury needs all the revenue it needs, that will not go down well with people. the government will say it is a bandwidth issue, that people in hr mci are focusing on the further scheme and a coronavirus response measures. the government has to do with these things, itjust causes problems in the longer term if they don't. causes problems in the longer term if they don't-— if they don't. maya, what do you make of it? _ if they don't. maya, what do you make of it? yes, _ if they don't. maya, what do you make of it? yes, i _ if they don't. maya, what do you make of it? yes, i think- if they don't. maya, what do you make of it? yes, i think it - if they don't. maya, what do you make of it? yes, i think it ties . make of it? yes, i think it ties into war mo — make of it? yes, i think it ties into war mo said _ make of it? yes, i think it ties into war mo said about - make of it? yes, i think it ties i into war mo said about recovery make of it? yes, i think it ties - into war mo said about recovery from coronavirus — into war mo said about recovery from coronavirus. what it says are in financial — coronavirus. what it says are in financial times is that the hmrc has

it's a little harsh, isn't it, mo? yes, congratulations to them. it is a bit unnecessary. it does speak to the really real tensions between the sussexes and the british media for the most part. you have seen legal challenges and wins this week on the side of the sussexes. now they are outside the royal family front line they are less bound by tradition and precedent, and they can certainly challenge some of the newspaper is much more and that they can show that they can win. but they still have to do have some sort of relationship with british media. maya, last word count. about 20 seconds, i'm afraid.— maya, last word count. about 20 seconds, i'm afraid. yeah, i'm not really interested _ seconds, i'm afraid. yeah, i'm not really interested in _ seconds, i'm afraid. yeah, i'm not really interested in at _ seconds, i'm afraid. yeah, i'm not really interested in at the - seconds, i'm afraid. yeah, i'm not really interested in at the royal i really interested in at the royal family~ — really interested in at the royal famil . . v really interested in at the royal famil . ., �*, ~ really interested in at the royal famil . ., �*, . ., family. that's good. we will meant time in the —
