11:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first, the headlines. two police officers are in hospital after clashes with hundreds of protesters in bristol. it happened after a rally against plans to limit demonstrations turned violent. the government warns the european union, that any attempt to block the export of doses of coronavirus vaccine to the uk
11:31 pm
would be "counterproductive". a record breaking day on saturday. that's what the government says on the number of vaccines given in the country — nearly 850,000. but a warning that facemasks and some social distancing could be with us, for years. a snapshot of life in england, wales and northern ireland. sunday is the deadline for millions of people to take part in a once—in—a—decade census. the worst flooding in more than a century hits parts of south—east australia forcing thosands to flee their homes. the australian prime minister scott morrison has offered emergency funds to those affected. let's have some more now on events in bristol this evening. as you've heard two police officers are in hospital after hundreds of protesters clashed
11:32 pm
with police in bristol. thousands turned up at a rally against the police and crime bill, which includes plans to give officers more powers to control demonstrations. the home secretary says the violence is "unacceptable "thuggery and disorder". 0ur correspondent andrew plant sent this update from bristol a short time ago. the crowds aren't really getting any bigger here but i'm not sure they're getting much smaller either. you can see the police have still formed this barrier here in front of the police station here in the centre of bristol. they've been like that for a couple of hours and they have been pelted with bottles — we've seen that a few times. in fact if you look at the floor here, you can see there's lots of broken glass and on the sides of these vans here, they're all covered in graffiti — at least three — and we've seen a couple that have been set on fire, too. ijust want to swing you around this way because you can see they've blocked off the side of the street but they've also blocked off that side street there.
11:33 pm
we've got police on horseback in front of those flashing lights there but what they have done is open up the other end. you can see police just beginning to move forward now just to take back some of that space, and they're trying to get people to walk towards the end there. we've heard from the commissioner of avon and somerset police. he said people's right to protest tonight has been hijacked effectively by people hell—bent on causing violence. we know there have been injuries — to people who we've seen with bleeding heads but also to officers, too. and it's not quite clear tonight exactly how this situation in bristol will finally be resolved. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are geraldine scott, westminster correspondent at the yorkshire post and giles kenningham, political commentator, former conservative party press chief. thank you forjoining us for this
11:34 pm
hour. a quick chat in the moment. tomorrow's front pages starting with... the financial times reports on a last ditch appeal by the prime minister — who will this week ask eu leaders to help stop the bloc banning exports of the astrazeneca vaccine. the guardian follows suit and says an eu ban on covid vaccine exports could delay the uk rollout by two months. breaking an election pledge. the times says the army will be cut by 10,000 troops in an announcement on monday. below a striking image from today's protests in bristol — the metro leads with the record number of covid jabs administered in the uk on saturday. the violence of the bristol protests features prominently on the front of tomorrow's telegraph — in a picture showing demonstrators attempting to destroy a police van. in a deliberate dig at the european union the daily express also reports on the success of the uk's

vaccine rollout saying that's "how to do it, eu". the i look at the true costs of the governments test and trace program and what the tax payer is really paying for. and ac—12 are back — the independent previews line of duty which returned for its sixth series tonight on bbc one. so, let's begin. geraldine and giles we will start with bristol. i don't know if you just saw and plant there, he was on the streets of bristol about an hour ago. there is still a police presence was of the telegraph certainly showing some of the damage. —— andrew plant. police left with broken bones at the bristol protest wasn't giles can you kick us off? �* . , ., protest wasn't giles can you kick us off? ~ . , ., ., off? are really haunting and harrowing — off? are really haunting and harrowing picture _ off? are really haunting and harrowing picture on - off? are really haunting and harrowing picture on the - off? are really haunting and i harrowing picture on the front off? are really haunting and - harrowing picture on the front of the telegraph of the riots which have _ the telegraph of the riots which have been kicking off in bristol all
