hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are jason beattie of the daily mirror and sian griffiths of the sunday times. tomorrow's front pages starting with... according to the daily telegraph, vaccinated britons would avoid covid tests and quarantine, under government plans to allow foreign summer holidays. it's also one of a number of papers to publish a picture of the queen, with her son and heir to the throne, prince charles. the daily mirror says the easing of lockdown rules has sparked a massive boost in staycation holidays in the uk. the guardian carries a warning that patients could be waiting up to two years for vital operations by the time of the next election, due to what's been described as a "truly frightening" backlog

of care, caused by the pandemic. the times reports a pledge from the head of nhs england, that the successful vaccination programme will be used as a "blueprint for the future" of the health service. the daily express says that care home residents will soon be reunited with their families in a proposed easing of the visiting restrictions. according to the daily mail, a new political memoir by alan duncan, borisjohnson�* deputy when he was foreign secretary, reveals vicious tory infighting. and the financial times says an independent scotland would inherit a large hole in its public finances because lower than expected tax revenues, brexit and coronavirus have increased the country's budget deficit. so let's begin... as always a warm welcome to your bowl. very good of you to join us this friday evening. good friday, of
10:33 pm
course. today, this evening we've been very much focusing on what's been very much focusing on what's been happening as most broadcast news organisations are what's been happening in the united states. a few of the front pages actually pick up few of the front pages actually pick up on the attack on the us capital. the daily telegraph does mention it. a few of the other papers have it on the front pages. we've been very much focusing on the events there, the dramatic events there. let's start with the main stories on the daily telegraph front page. of course a picture of the queen. we will talk about that later. this rate were going to kick off with is the foreign holidays for vaccinated. we are finally getting a bit more detail about this traffic light system that the government is looking into. system that the government is looking im— system that the government is looking into-— system that the government is looking into. yes. i think we are all dreaming _ looking into. yes. i think we are all dreaming of— looking into. yes. i think we are all dreaming of a _ looking into. yes. i think we are all dreaming of a holiday - looking into. yes. i think we are | all dreaming of a holiday abroad, aren't we? itjust all dreaming of a holiday abroad, aren't we? it just seems such all dreaming of a holiday abroad, aren't we? itjust seems such a so
10:34 pm
difficult the whole idea. this story, does give us some hope i think that we may be able to go abroad before too long. and the idea is when foreign travel opens up countries will be rated either read and or agreed. that will depend on their risk which would be based on covid vaccination levels and also of course the rate of infection in those countries. the idea is that if you've had to jab a vaccination certificate could make it possible to travel a lot more easily and not have to quarantine for two days without the idea is if you've had two jobs and you've got a certificate and you could show that you could show that you've had two jobs when you go to one of the low risk countries —— jab. you would not then have to quarantine for ten days and hotels that cost about £1700 for the ten day stay. and you could just come back into the uk. possibly with some testing. i think those details
10:35 pm
have not emerged. but it would make travel possible, cheaper and more accessible. i do think there will be people who will say this is not a goodidea people who will say this is not a good idea and that it will lead to checkpoint and it will be discriminatory towards people who haven't had theirjab and won't be able to get vaccination certificates.— able to get vaccination certificates. . ., ., ., certificates. there are a lot of oints i certificates. there are a lot of points i could _ certificates. there are a lot of points i could be _ certificates. there are a lot of points i could be potential- certificates. there are a lot of - points i could be potential concern. also interestingly when we look at this traffic light system, the red, green and blue. my goodness somebody correct me. their ego. but the number of countries in the green light, actually quite a few potentially according to the telegraph. potentially according to the telegraph-— potentially according to the teleu-rah. , . , , telegraph. this really will depend on processes- — telegraph. this really will depend on processes. if— telegraph. this really will depend on processes. if other _ telegraph. this really will depend on processes. if other countries l on processes. if other countries they—

temperatures are plunging. itjust typical, is in a? let's move onto the times. we come back to the mirror to talk about the queen a bit further. all the papers had that image of the queen and prince charles marking easter with a stroll. but the story that we are going to look at is, we will stop you getting sick. the nhs chief quoting here. the britain successful vaccination programme will use as a blueprint for the future. he vaccination programme will use as a blueprint for the future.— blueprint for the future. he has. this is really _ blueprint for the future. he has. this is really interesting. - blueprint for the future. he has. this is really interesting. simon | this is really interesting. simon stevens is saying that health workers will in the future seek out the most vulnerable to help them stay healthy rather than wait for them to become sick. it's very much based on the principle of the vaccination programme which started with the older is, the most vulnerable people vaccinated those people 1st. and then worked its way down the priority list. in future
10:40 pm
simon says the nhs is going to apply the same principles to trying to treat cancer, heart disease, strokes. and there some lovely touches in this story. for instance, they're going to tell gps when people are too frail to put their rubbish out so the gps can kind of check up on their patients and give them any preventative medicine that they might need fence doctors are going to go through those medical records to find those who are most at risk for heart attack was up he missed a cancer screening, then counsellors will actually call you “p counsellors will actually call you up and make sure that you do go. there's a really nice quote here from sir simon, he says vaccinating 30 million people have under the worst of circumstances shown the nhs at its best. and it's that kind of spirit i think that he really wants to continue as we go forward out of this pandemic. and look after the
