hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are christopher hope, chief political correspondent and assistant editor at the daily telegraph, and ayesha hazarika, columnist at the evening standard & the i, and times radio presenter. tomorrow's front pages. starting with. the discovery of human remains in the search for 33—year—old sarah everard is the lead for the guardian — a serving police officer is being detained on suspicion of her murder. the metro carries a picture of the police search in woodland near ashford in kent where the discovery was made —

sarah everard was last seen a week ago walking home through clapham in south london the telegraph says the arrested officer lived in deal in kent and worked in the met�*s parliamentary and diplomatic protection command. the times highlights the words of reassurance from the metropolitan police — commissioner dame cressida dick said women should feel safe walking the streets of london that story is also the lead for the mail — but the paper also has more on the fallout of harry and meghan�*s tv interview with oprah winfrey the i says a surge in covid vaccine supply to the uk is due to kick in this week — it would mean the nhs could provide second doses, withoutjeopardising the speed of the first dose roll—out the mirror reports on the mounting pressure surrounding the prime minister over what the paper describes as the government's �*paltry�* 1% pay rise for nurses. the yorkshire post reports on the results of a survey which has found the covid pandemic has increased the gap between social classes in the uk.

lots of papers to get through. as always, really good to see you both back with us. we start with the story, a very difficult story that we've been leaving on throughout the evening. the daily mail as we saw a lot of the papers have this on the front page. the difficult announcement from the metropolitan police commissioner cressida derek that human remains have been found in the search for missing 33—year—old sarah everard. important to stress the remains haven't been identified. ., �* , to stress the remains haven't been identified. . �* , ., ~ identified. that's right. the talk toda as identified. that's right. the talk today as aisha _ identified. that's right. the talk today as aisha has _ identified. that's right. the talk today as aisha has been - identified. that's right. the talk today as aisha has been saying| identified. that's right. the talk. today as aisha has been saying and also on social media has been just a shock of someone being taken from the street. a woman walking home, 33—year—old woman grabbed, it seems are taken somehow on the streets. and then disappeared. so shocking. she could be anyone's daughter. it's

very rare and then to have, cressida dick was right to go out on tv to appealfor a degree of dick was right to go out on tv to appeal for a degree of calm. dick was right to go out on tv to appealfor a degree of calm. i think it's shocked this country. no wonder it's shocked this country. no wonder it's on all the front pages.— it's on all the front pages. aisha, one think that _ it's on all the front pages. aisha, one think that cressida _ it's on all the front pages. aisha, one think that cressida dick - it's on all the front pages. aisha, one think that cressida dick did l one think that cressida dick did stress is it is rare for this to happen, she also said they will if anybody for women feeling anxious especially in the area there will be an extra police presence. but she absolutely stressed that it is rare for this to happen.— for this to happen. yes, it is rare but that doesn't _ for this to happen. yes, it is rare but that doesn't stop _ for this to happen. yes, it is rare but that doesn't stop it _ for this to happen. yes, it is rare but that doesn't stop it being - for this to happen. yes, it is rare l but that doesn't stop it being very, very frightening for women. as christopher said, i myself tweeted today _ christopher said, i myself tweeted today. every woman has been talking about _ today. every woman has been talking about this _ today. every woman has been talking about this today. recounting their own stories of how they keep themselves safe whether it's wearing trainers _ themselves safe whether it's wearing trainers when you get a taxi, having your keys _ trainers when you get a taxi, having your keys in — trainers when you get a taxi, having your keys in your hand when you're walking _ your keys in your hand when you're walking home, i'll text you when i -et walking home, i'll text you when i get home, — walking home, i'll text you when i get home, those messages. actually, what is _

it's something that at the moment is an ongoing investigation. absolute heartbreak. let's turn to the daily mirror. have a look at, your priorities are wrong, boris was out the mira lists all the amount of money being spent across, the soft boris has been spending on and can peers it to the suggested pay rise for nhs workers.— for nhs workers. yes, this is day seven of this _ for nhs workers. yes, this is day seven of this 1% _ for nhs workers. yes, this is day seven of this 1% pay _ for nhs workers. yes, this is day seven of this 1% pay rise - for nhs workers. yes, this is day seven of this 1% pay rise for- seven of this i% pay rise for nurses. it's unbelievable i think that the government didn't try to put out the same time as the nurses 1% rise which was derisory, to then try and say at the same time, other public sector workers, we are not the answer. maybe getting a freeze in their pay. why not say so? then you give a degree of understanding of why the nhs pay is more than other people in the public sector.

instead we don't know what they're getting and relapse with this i% would seem so small. look at that checklist in the mirror. test and trace has not so sure that work. to be fair to boris johnson, trace has not so sure that work. to be fair to borisjohnson, across the irish sea this idea he supports and resides for a feasibility study to happen. and hasn't been costed yet. that pic is unfair. there was a pay rise for dominic cummings and they have spent millions on the downing breathing room. at the same point when borisjohnson clapped for nurses, you can clap but then you have to follow through with the money as well and he hasn't. this is the problem. we money as well and he hasn't. this is the problem-— the problem. we had even earlier toda the the problem. we had even earlier today the prime _ the problem. we had even earlier today the prime minister - the problem. we had even earlier i today the prime minister defending the nhs testing trace programme as one of those listing in the amount of money to be spent 37 billion spent on it. he's been defending it. but the public accounts committee little bit less happy with it. the

six questions about one issue today. next wednesday this is the one area where labour is winning, i think. in terms of winning at the political debate. in this panel which recommended this pay rise is advisory. and ministers can overrule it. it was with the slightest suggestion in the text that might happen. that's what's on page one because the mirror is a labour supporting paper. it's a problem for the tory and how they get round that it will cost more money. let’s the tory and how they get round that it will cost more money.— it will cost more money. let's have a look at the _ it will cost more money. let's have a look at the financial _ it will cost more money. let's have a look at the financial times - it will cost more money. let's have a look at the financial times now. | a look at the financial times now. it's looking at more red tape. this is post exit negotiations. food producers are saying that some exports will be unviable because of the situation, because of the red tape, the cost of the extra cost it will create. tape, the cost of the extra cost it will create-— will create. talk us through this. this is a story — will create. talk us through this. this is a story about _
