hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are jason beattie of the daily mirror and sian griffiths of the sunday times. welcome back to you both. tomorrow's front pages starting with a story from the daily telegraph. it says 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�*s 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.

11:36 pm
infection of covid infections sweeping through europe now. but i think the thing that is very interesting is again this idea that we will have possible vaccination certificates for travel. and a lot of people are very unhappy about that because as jason said, this idea of discrimination and if you can't have the jab at because of health reasons or allergies or whatever, what does that mean? you can't have a certification, does that mean you can't go abroad or do you absolutely have to quarantine and paid these very high costs to stay in a hotel? it's complicated but borisjohnson seems quite clear, the quote here in this story, there is definitely going to be a world in which international travel will use vaccine passports. it does look at though —— as though many countries

broadcasted on bbc news. moving on! let's go to the guardian because it describes it as a frightening nhs backlog and when you look at the detail of this, jason, what sir david nichols of the nhs england former chief has been saying in the back wall, it is frightening and it is very much the word.— is very much the word. yes, the statistics are _ is very much the word. yes, the statistics are quite _ is very much the word. yes, the statistics are quite grim. - is very much the word. yes, the statistics are quite grim. we - is very much the word. yes, the i statistics are quite grim. we knew it was— statistics are quite grim. we knew it was had — statistics are quite grim. we knew it was bad but the waiting lists have _ it was bad but the waiting lists have piled up during covid and pandemic. at the moment it's about 4.5 pandemic. at the moment it's about 45 million _ pandemic. at the moment it's about 4.5 million people in england waiting — 4.5 million people in england waiting for an operation or some sort of— waiting for an operation or some sort of procedure. according to this report— sort of procedure. according to this report by— sort of procedure. according to this report by the end of the year, it could _ report by the end of the year, it could he — report by the end of the year, it could he as _ report by the end of the year, it could be as high as 6.9 million, that is— could be as high as 6.9 million, that is truly— could be as high as 6.9 million, that is truly frightening. as a quotes— that is truly frightening. as a quotes sir david nicholson, this is a political— quotes sir david nicholson, this is a political problem potentially for boris _ a political problem potentially for borisjohnson who has a political problem potentially for boris johnson who has still got this hi-h boris johnson who has still got this high backlog by the time we approach

11:42 pm
that story that we were discussing earlier about in the times which wasn't so much more upbeat which quotes sir david nicholson's successors or simon stevens the current chief executive of the nhs who is very much a saying that we can learn lessons from the way we handle the coronavirus crisis especially from our hugely successful vaccination programme and we can apply that thinking that we go to the most vulnerable, the most frail, and be up by some preventative medicine early on. and we can use that to treat things like cancer and heart conditions and strokes and get the people before they get really, really sick. so while the story in the times and so upbeat, this story is very pessimistic about the future for the nhs because of these massive waiting lists and backlogs for a whole range of treatments. lt shows the way the papers go, isn't it present because the times as he was saying, sir simon stevens is
11:43 pm
saying the successful vaccination programme across the uk will be a blueprint for the future of the health service. while talking on vaccinations let's look at the ft, jason. astrazeneca and these blood clots, talk us through this because seven people have died and of course it is an absolute tragedy for the families of all those people. they have died from these blood clots but 18 million people have had the vaccination. it's an interesting one. , :, vaccination. it's an interesting one. ., ., ., one. yet, so the alarm about the otential one. yet, so the alarm about the potential and _ one. yet, so the alarm about the potential and we _ one. yet, so the alarm about the potential and we had _ one. yet, so the alarm about the potential and we had to - one. yet, so the alarm about the potential and we had to be - one. yet, so the alarm about the potential and we had to be very l potential and we had to be very careful— potential and we had to be very careful here, and the link between the astrazeneca jab and these blood clots was _ the astrazeneca jab and these blood clots was first raised by medical agencies — clots was first raised by medical agencies in europe. the european medical— agencies in europe. the european medical agency has repeatedly now said that _ medical agency has repeatedly now said that the jab is safe. but now we are _ said that the jab is safe. but now we are hearing for the first time

11:46 pm
find strange and puzzling is these countries including france and canada and most recently germany have actually now recommended that younger people avoid the jab because of this but what clots issue. and thatjust of this but what clots issue. and that just seems to of this but what clots issue. and thatjust seems to me very strange thinking because the risks of contracting coronavirus and the consequences of that seem so much more severe than the possibility of, this very small possibly of getting a blood clot. this very small possibly of getting a blood clot-— a blood clot. exactly but it is mixed messaging _ a blood clot. exactly but it is mixed messaging that - a blood clot. exactly but it is mixed messaging that then l a blood clot. exactly but it is - mixed messaging that then creates concern amongst people, but it's a story that just isn't going away. another story in the times that isn't going away is what is happening with the former prime minister david cameron, jason. this is all very murky. so we knew thanks— this is all very murky. so we knew thanks to — this is all very murky. so we knew thanks to reported by the financial times— thanks to reported by the financial times and — thanks to reported by the financial times and the sunday times that david _ times and the sunday times that david cameron had contacted, texted

11:49 pm
smallest thing. and the daily mail has brought the serialisation of the book and in this first extract, duncan apparently describes the prime minister is a buffoon and says that they had a blazing row when they were both at the foreign office over a press report about diplomats treating boris as an international joke. and when mrjohnson said, "why don't they take me seriously? why don't they take me seriously? why don't just don't they take me seriously? why don'tjust domestic be seriously?" duncan apparently replied, look in the expletive mirror!" so i think apparently it looks as though this extract and this book are full of such rather full —— extract and this book are full of such ratherfull —— rather colourful stories was that there is no love lost between alan duncan and boris johnson. he was once described as borisjohnson's looper johnson. he was once described as boris johnson's looper scooper because he had to clear up boris johnson's mess so often in terms of kind of diplomatic gaffes and so on when he was at the foreign office, very close to theresa may, he
