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 mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. with 15 million now vaccinated — the goverment says it's hit the first covid vaccination target a day early 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'. and archie is delighted at being an older brother. 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 adviser mo hussein. tomorrow's front pages. starting with. 15 million people vaccinated — the metro's front page which focusses on the milestone.

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 ten is pushing back against pressure from tory mps to set a swift timetable to end lockdown. an exclusive for the express — the paper says matt hancock has announced his new target — to vaccinate 32 million people, that's everyone at risk, by the end of april. the telegraph looks at apparent plans by government to allow grandparents to see their grandchildren again as early as next month. the times reports one amibitious timeline being looked at by the government which could see households being able to go on self—catered holidays by easter. it's valentines dayjoy 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. so, let's begin. 0h, whatever happened to respect for the rules? let's start with the telegraph is that we leave aside that story. i know you're not interested in it. let's talk about the prospects that the telegraph says that adults might be able to see grandparents or who should have received their vaccinations might be able to see their grand children's outdoors as soon as next month. this is one of the — outdoors as soon as next month. ti 3 is one of the number of outdoors as soon as next month. ti 1 is one of the number of stories across the front pages and gone through the sort of look at potential relaxing of lockdown rules. i suppose we can hope for at some point in the future. i actually think dominic raab was right today to say that the government couldn't commit to really hard timeline. and whilst i totally get and feel that desire for a kind of optimism and wanting to look ahead to see when

our lives can not necessarily returned to normal but a few bits of pieces back to our lives we had prior to the start of the pandemic. i understand that desire and something to look forward to. i do think we have to be really careful around this was done and the papers need to be careful around starting to suggest these things can happen. because the rights of the virus are still incredibly high. they are declining which is really great to see but they're still really high. we have to recognise and then we say the same see these optimistic front pages i always do think about those over hundred thousand people who died because of coronavirus. we had one of the world that tolls of the world was up was still in this country have issues like people not being able to afford to self—isolate because of low statutory sick pay. in some ways the government has to think about the monst online or weeks down the line but they also should be really focusing the mind on some of the things they need to be doing better now. like sick pay.

and it's full of some sense of optimism but some it's a bit too soonin optimism but some it's a bit too soon in terms of promising timelines. as dominic raab said it's going to be difficult for them to definitely stick to one—way or other. definitely stick to one-way or other. . . ~ definitely stick to one-way or other. . ., ~ ., , definitely stick to one-way or other. . . ~ ., , , other. the language in mp was using durin: the other. the language in mp was using during the course _ other. the language in mp was using during the course of— other. the language in mp was using during the course of last _ other. the language in mp was using during the course of last week- during the course of last week although the road to freedom says the mirror, exit strategy to ease lockdown may help for reopening pubs and restaurants. ithink lockdown may help for reopening pubs and restaurants. i think that's the month where the prime minister. the daddy mail ready, study high street chop set to open a week. you think it was all over if you were an alien leaning on the earth and picking up the papers tomorrow morning. well, you might think it was all over. certainly. it's not in any sense of the world, — certainly. it's not in any sense of the world, really. the vaccine is a real success — the world, really. the vaccine is a real success give credit where credit — real success give credit where credit is — real success give credit where credit is due to the government for getting _ credit is due to the government for getting us— credit is due to the government for getting us to where we are. i do think— getting us to where we are. i do think you — getting us to where we are. i do think you can also engender a false

year. i think it is really promising to see. and it's really great that we now have. this is one of the thing that a lot of papers are focused on, rightly so. it is those for categories as you say, those people have now at least received theirfirstjob. not fully people have now at least received their firstjob. not fully immunised their first job. not fully immunised by their firstjob. not fully immunised by having that firstjob. and now yes, refocusing on the rest of society. one big important piece of the puzzle. as i say, what we need wells that were a lot is happening and in order to reduce the transmission of the virus in society is making sure people can afford to stay at home. if they need to self—isolate. also this weekjust gone it could be as many as four and five people are going into work when it's not necessary for them to do so. some kind of outcome for those big company that that may be forcing some people to go into work. this is really, really promising. i'm very optimistic about it, really excited to see this happening but in the meantime we do need some measures to

die of this per year, it would be really, really great thing to see this happen throughout the nhs and make sure that that investment is there and people are able to access it. ., there and people are able to access it. . ., ., , ., it. that whole thing of preventative healthcare- — it. that whole thing of preventative healthcare- l— it. that whole thing of preventative healthcare. i remove _ it. that whole thing of preventative healthcare. i remove ten _ it. that whole thing of preventative healthcare. i remove ten years - it. that whole thing of preventative healthcare. i remove ten years ago j healthcare. i remove ten years ago senator lindsey now moving back, say one of the reasons for empowering gps is that preventative health care had a better chance that it did under the old system. which was too focused on hospital care and not enough on the early stages. regardless why, if they could do this they could save quite a lot of the money that incipient spent on end—of—life treatment and care. yes end-of-life treatment and care. yes definitel . end-of-life treatment and care. yes definitely. you _ end—of—life treatment and care. yes definitely. you have hear that a lot about— definitely. you have hear that a lot about protect and something like this will— about protect and something like this will break through at a real way of— this will break through at a real way of achieving that. yes, there is the economic impact there is also addressing health inequalities and increasing peoples lives. sol addressing health inequalities and increasing peoples lives. so i think

the chief executive of the scotch whisky association. it's a whiskey is distillers who seem to be having a really difficult time selling their product.— their product. yes it's really important — their product. yes it's really important actually - their product. yes it's really important actually that - their product. yes it's really important actually that it's l their product. yes it's really - important actually that it's much smaller gin and whiskey distillers and suppliers have been really struggling to ship their products to the eu. nearly two months hence these new rules have been introduced. what's this as a visits to do with confusion over paperwork in relation to alcohol shipment. one thing i thought as well as his being obviously, bad for those small businesses, i think really businesses, which i think really doesn't matter. particular given everything that's happened with the economy in relation to covid. one thing i thought was interesting and this is that it's noted in the story that that spin particular hard in scotland because this dominates, scotland because this dominates, scotland dominates this sector. although you want to draw things out that may be out there i do sort of wonder how certain things like this

might play into the scottish independence was not given that scotland didn't vote to leave the eu. you do sort of wonder how these stories... , ., , stories... only a single timeline. i cive ou stories... only a single timeline. i give you 30 _ stories... only a single timeline. i give you 30 seconds, _ stories... only a single timeline. i give you 30 seconds, i'm - stories... only a single timeline. i give you 30 seconds, i'm afraid. l stories... only a single timeline. i give you 30 seconds, i'm afraid. i | give you 30 seconds, i'm afraid. i think the question is really important here. with a story with the fishing — important here. with a story with the fishing community scotland being obviously— the fishing community scotland being obviously affected and unhappy with the brexit deal, with the elections coming _ the brexit deal, with the elections coming up — the brexit deal, with the elections coming up in may and the different approaches you are seeing between nicola _ approaches you are seeing between nicola sturgeon and the government in west— nicola sturgeon and the government in west minister. i think it does go back to _ in west minister. i think it does go back to what kind of deal scotland are getting and what is scotland's future _ are getting and what is scotland's future. certainly plays into that independent narrative.- future. certainly plays into that independent narrative. thank you both very much — independent narrative. thank you both very much for _ independent narrative. thank you both very much for being - independent narrative. thank you both very much for being my - both very much for being my valentine this evening. it's been lovely to have you on the papers. we will see you again soon as well. they film review is coming up and
