hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the editor of the political news website, politics home, kate proctor and the broadcaster, john stapleton. tomorrow's front pages starting with... "lockdown to continue until cases drop below 1,000 a day" is the daily telegraph's understanding of when restrictions will be eased, ahead of borisjohnson publishing an exit plan next week. the mail says it can reveal how ministers are discussing a road map out of lockdown that will take untiljuly before leisure and uk tourism will be �*broadly back to normal�*. the times speaks of a "mass testing blitz" under which 400,000 rapid lateral flow tests will be sent out to homes and workplaces everyday, with the aim of getting

the country to "a new normal". two jabs for all by august is the headline in the metro, which quotes the head of the vaccination task force as saying that every uk adult may be offered a jab by the autumn. the guardian reports that nearly two million more people are to be put on the shielding list after new research confirms higher coronavirus risk amongst deprived and ethnic minority groups. a warning from hospital leaders over lifting lockdown too early is the independent�*s main headline — below its main picture story of the dj, jo whiley, asking why she was offered a covid vaccine before her vulnerable sister. "let us visit loved ones" is the plea in the daily mirror

as the paper speaks of the toll of lockdowns on elderly people in britain's care homes. it says families are "begging" to be allowed to help their relatives. and the express is reporting that the queen has "every faith" that prince harry and meghan will honour royal protocol in their forthcoming oprah winfrey tv interview. so let's begin... kate and john, it should we kick off with the mail? papers over the past few days all saying they have had sight of the blueprint for the lockdown easing which is going to be announced next week. the male illustrating with pictures from the photo library there.— illustrating with pictures from the photo library there. yes, so lots of front pages — photo library there. yes, so lots of front pages are — photo library there. yes, so lots of front pages are trailing _ photo library there. yes, so lots of front pages are trailing what - photo library there. yes, so lots of front pages are trailing what is -

front pages are trailing what is expected to be announced in boris johnson's of february plan and is must be the map of out of this lockdown. the male has given you a kind of spring to summer outlook and the main thing is it is suggesting that by easter there could be reopening of self catered holiday let's and larger hotels that sound so optimistic to me but perhaps that is something that's possible with some social distancing as well. and really the other important thing is for hospitality venues, pubs, bars and restaurants and so they may have to wait until may and then it will go back to some of those rules we have seen before. so like two households being largest be together indoors. and then intojuly perhaps things might be brought back to normal. so this sounds like an

interesting plan and something that people will be really looking forward to hearing about because getting out and going to restaurants or being able to see friends outside and hospitality venues is definitely something to look forward to. and i just would say that the variance that we have had already, and the kent one and things coming down the track that we don't know about yet are just the kind track that we don't know about yet arejust the kind of track that we don't know about yet are just the kind of things that can really throw off these plans. so i guess everything has to come with a bit of caveat and a pinch of salt that things can change in this pandemic. that things can change in this pandemic— that things can change in this pandemic. that things can change in this andemic. ., �* ., ., pandemic. you've got to feed the new cle, pandemic. you've got to feed the new cycle. haven't — pandemic. you've got to feed the new cycle, haven't you? _ pandemic. you've got to feed the new cycle, haven't you? what _ pandemic. you've got to feed the new cycle, haven't you? what do - pandemic. you've got to feed the new cycle, haven't you? what do you - cycle, haven't you? what do you think of how the mail have presented it with blue it's fascinating and buy for the most detailed look into the future we have gotten from any of the papers i have seen tonight. it will be greeted with greatjoy by the vast majority particularly those that like to go to the pub for a drink and have a bite to eat as well. fascinating to know how it's

determined whether or not people sitting around a table inside or from two households, three households or for households. a tricky one. and just exactly how they will enact the rule of six again because that's tricky if indeed all of this is happened. it suddenly is as you can enter as a back to normal byjuly. does that mean no foreign travel and just you caterers and will be ok? this got his first minister was indicating this afternoon that at first she is concerned ks forget holidays at home or abroad, concerned ks forget holidays at home orabroad, but concerned ks forget holidays at home or abroad, but summer you concerned ks forget holidays at home orabroad, but summeryou might concerned ks forget holidays at home or abroad, but summer you might have summer holidays at home but forget foreign holidays. maybe in that sense this in line with what she's saying, but it's optimistic to put it mildly. it's wishful thinking, though isn't it? the government has not had this out yet and apparently it's 50 pages long. and every page is being revised. he will probably know about this in terms of your position as political editor there?

at the moment we've been through this process before as a journalist, before these big speeches arrived from the prime minister you've got a week of speculation in which little things are pushed out and there are certain things that some newspapers have picked up. what certain things that some newspapers have picked up— have picked up. what are you being told? what's _ have picked up. what are you being told? what's your _ have picked up. what are you being told? what's your take _ have picked up. what are you being told? what's your take on - have picked up. what are you being told? what's your take on this? - have picked up. what are you being told? what's your take on this? wej told? what's your take on this? we are told told? what's your take on this? - are told that apsley everything should be taken with a huge pinch of salt and that things just... should be taken with a huge pinch of salt and that thingsjust. . ._ salt and that things 'ust. .. haven't ou not salt and that things 'ust. .. haven't you got some _ salt and that things 'ust. .. haven't you got some road _ salt and that thingsjust. .. haven't you got some road map _ salt and that thingsjust. .. haven't you got some road map mole - salt and that thingsjust. .. haven't you got some road map mole who | salt and that thingsjust. .. haven't i you got some road map mole who is feeding you lines? the you got some road map mole who is feeding you lines?— feeding you lines? the only thing i've really been _ feeding you lines? the only thing i've really been told _ feeding you lines? the only thing i've really been told is _ feeding you lines? the only thing i've really been told is that - feeding you lines? the only thing i've really been told is that pubs| i've really been told is that pubs in april, that's been flooded in some newspapers before, that there could be some biergarten action in april and it's very unlikely to happen. all i can ring you is doom about pubs not opening.— about pubs not opening. that's shootin: about pubs not opening. that's shooting down _ about pubs not opening. that's shooting down the _ about pubs not opening. that's shooting down the story, - about pubs not opening. that's shooting down the story, i - about pubs not opening. that's| shooting down the story, i want something original. you

response. he saying that things are now going so well that it's very likely that people will have had their two doses of the injection by august. so this is slightly ahead of those earlier predictions, and it just shows the huge speed in which the government has gone through its vaccine programme. and if you can have everyone vaccinated by the end of the summer than that is really wonderful news. of course is only really works in an effective way, in terms of summer holidays and getting which other places also moving as swiftly as the uk has in terms of the vaccine response, and at the moment it looks as though we're going to be soaring far ahead, so we might have a nation of people that are vaccinated, but with not as many options open to us as we were hoping for. ~ ., options open to us as we were hoping for. ~ . , ., options open to us as we were hoping

looking at which shows that deaths have fallen by 62%. and also there's been a drop in deaths for people aged between 20 and 64. so this would suggest that things are going in the right direction and these are quite positive numbers. we only have a few details here from the guardian but they have spoken to in professor committee to study and it's got some good information in there. we are waiting to get, and ministers are waiting to get, and ministers are waiting the government is waiting generally to get more data from two different tests, the siren test and another study looking again at how effective the vaccine has been in terms of transmission. that information is due to come out when the next few days and should inform what boris johnson the next few days and should inform what borisjohnson does on the 22nd of february. the route map out of

before christmas they did a big analysis and found that these types of tests are good enough to be used. in community testing. and he said that it's going to be impossible for them to eliminate all risk. and so i guess it's just a them to eliminate all risk. and so i guess it'sjust a huge them to eliminate all risk. and so i guess it's just a huge attempt by the government to try and get things back to some kind of form of normality in terms of living your life, and decided that these tests are part of the solution. the campaign will be called according to this report, are you ready can make it testing, go. so another sort of three—part message that the government is on. was switched to the story alongside that, princess latifah. the phonetically complicated, dubai money, awash in on several levels from establishment

for germany but covid meant they were re—routed to budapest. leipzig came closest to opening the scoring, denied only by the post. liverpool's best effort of the half, andy robertson from long range, just inches in it. he's gone for it and he almost got it! liverpool may have been off the boil as of late but mo salah remains red—hot, pouncing on this defensive slip—up. it is salah! who doesn't miss from there! jurgen klopp elated and probably relieved. minutes later, mane made it two, another error at the back for leipzig. the premier league champions heading back home with two away goals as souvenirs and hopeful of continuing their european adventures. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. the french squad were already gas lighting after another member of staff contracted the virus. 51—year—old have returned and negative that result and was retested today. france would lead the league with two wins out of two and organise will be thankful

there is a rest coming out. they score against scotland on the 28th of february. the island players that came into contact with the french in dublin on sunday have all there was a brilliant performance from paris saint germain returned negative results. now to tennis. at the australian open, the world number one and reigning champion novak djokovic booked his place in the semi finals. not before he'd smashed his racket as frustrations spilled over against alexander zverev. he followed naomi osaka and serena williams who also reached the last four. here's patrick gearey. aslan, the lion no one saw comming. this has never been his territory. his first grand slam and he said very nervous. and he said very nervous. his butterflies were scattering in the first set. the world number 21 would pounce early the second. fight or flight. aslan swiped back.
