hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are political strategist, jo tanner and broadcaster david davies. let's start with the guardian, it says boris johnson is facing thank you very much i clearly did not put them off enough last time because they are back for a second helping. let's start with the guardian, it says boris johnson is facing criticism for delaying an inquiry into the government's handling of the pandemic, until next spring. the i says there are fears that the final lifting of lockdown could be delayed, due to the threat from the indian covid variant. the telegraph says gps are being told to discourage in—person appointments, in favour of virtual consultations. the financial times reports on a fall in us stocks, after rising inflation sparked concerns the world's largest economy is overheating. the daily mail leads with mounting costs for social

care, borne by familes. and the express focuses on the pick up in the uk economy, as lockdown restrictions began to ease. right. let's begin if we may with the times. jo, fears mount over threats of war in gaza. yet another picture of a blood red sky over gaza strip. picture of a blood red sky over gaza stri -. , ., ., picture of a blood red sky over gaza stri. , ., ., ., , picture of a blood red sky over gaza stri n , . ., . , . strip. yes, and world leaders have started to talk _ strip. yes, and world leaders have started to talk of _ strip. yes, and world leaders have started to talk of wanting - strip. yes, and world leaders have started to talk of wanting both - started to talk of wanting both sides to de—escalate the situation and quite scary comments on the front of the times actually where benjamin netanyahu israel's per minister talks of this is just the beginning, we will hit them like they have never dreamt possible, which is terrifying stuff. all of the papers are talking about grave concerns know about war breaking out. it is very clear from the reports that are coming from the

ground there is more violence happening on a smaller scale as well as these huge rockets into buildings being destroyed. there is also talk of individuals being pulled out of cars and beaten on the streets. they are effectively turning on each other, the neighbours. it is worrying to see what's happening in the middle east right now. do worrying to see what's happening in the middle east right now.— the middle east right now. do you think we have _ the middle east right now. do you think we have become _ the middle east right now. do you think we have become a - the middle east right now. do you think we have become a bit - think we have become a bit complacent in countries like ours about what is happening in the middle east? we have the last big violent uprising seven years ago. we haven't really had significant violence in israel in the occupied territories in that period. obviously individual instance, some of them quite bad, but nothing that has built up momentum. in some ways, we have kind of got used to it, it sort of the status quo. but we have kind of got used to it, it sort of the status quo._ sort of the status quo. but does an one sort of the status quo. but does anyone really — sort of the status quo. but does anyone really think _ sort of the status quo. but does anyone really think it's - sort of the status quo. but does anyone really think it's going i sort of the status quo. but does - anyone really think it's going away? i don't _ anyone really think it's going away? i don't think— anyone really think it's going away? i don't think anybody who knows even a idon't think anybody who knows even a tiny— i don't think anybody who knows even a tiny bit_ i don't think anybody who knows even a tiny bit about events in the middle — a tiny bit about events in the middle east thinks it's gone away. and has_ middle east thinks it's gone away. and has said, it is very scary, and

reminder that several generations of israelis and palestinians have seen this conflict and have lived with this conflict and have lived with this conflict and have lived with this conflict and have hoped that they would live through it. it is striking picking up on what david was saying, jo, that in israel, one of five of the population is actually arab, so when you talk about this conflict developing in a domestic aspect commits her mind that these are mixed communities and potentially very volatile ones. i think that is what has caught everyone slightly off guard on this. i think that is what is making it... it is quite difficult to manage. there is effectively what is going on between the leaders, as edgware and the groups involved, but then there is actually really reports of very small pockets, you know, individual occurrences of violence between individuals, people that actually lived in communities fairly peacefully alongside each other, and thatis peacefully alongside each other, and that is what is very different about the dimension of what has escalated this week. �* . . ~

make it a very striking front page, but i suppose it comes with the price that it can look overdramatic. it does look out of kilter with when you have got other papers tomorrow suggesting that masks won't be need to be worn any more and we are coming to the end of lockdown, and we have already seen this week that talk of whether we can hug or not, how come if we do, what that looks like. people are looking forward to next week when we can start to meet indoors. this is in complete contrast. i think this is inevitable. borisjohnson said today the pandemic, the end of the lockdown is not the end of the pandemic, and i think we have to really recognise that. we don't want to be seen to be yo—yoing from one lockdown to another, but in reality, individuals actions and these unexpected variant ofs that emerge,

the problem with all of this stuff is the science behind its form of the scientists are learning all the time. you know, viruses mutate. it's what they do. it's a constant race to keep up with them. i think while it is a striking headline, i think the government will be wanting to keep on with their road map is much as they possibly can, boris himself, he is a very optimistic person. he has been wanting to come across as “p has been wanting to come across as up —— optimistic. so it's not good news for the government to see this, but i'm sure they are going to want to be trying to reassure the public as soon as possible about how concerned we need to be about the indian variant. if concerned we need to be about the indian variant.— indian variant. if we look at the telegraph _ indian variant. if we look at the telegraph and _ indian variant. if we look at the telegraph and have _ indian variant. if we look at the telegraph and have a _ indian variant. if we look at the telegraph and have a bit - indian variant. if we look at the telegraph and have a bit more | indian variant. if we look at the - telegraph and have a bit more detail on this, haven't they? following up on this, haven't they? following up on the im going through. it's the 16, i'm sorry can't read this, let me take my glasses off, but be 167.2 strain from it sounds like a road in the west country, doesn't it? you are right, it's probably vital. you

are right, it's probably vital. you are absolutely right. there are three different versions of the brazilian strain or something. anyway, the scientists will know about that. the important thing is not to panic about this because we don't yet know the extent of it, but it is just important that the papers or marking it. let's move on if we can all stop david, you felt quite incensed about this, let me put it this way, not incensed, you felt quite keen to talk about this, motivated to talk about this, gps, front of the telegraph is welcome about sage drake and the gps told to encourage patients to go online. this is right. i understand it, i understand where it's coming from, but i understand where it's coming from, but i come — understand where it's coming from, but i come a — understand where it's coming from, but i come a you know, we have all gone _ but i come a you know, we have all gone through this largely being locked — gone through this largely being locked up and having to get through on the _ locked up and having to get through on the phone, and you have to get there _ on the phone, and you have to get there online — on the phone, and you have to get there online and all the rest of it, and i_ there online and all the rest of it, and i know— there online and all the rest of it, and i know how frustrating it's been

have her give me one as well. i should just read, it's very interesting, david, because subsequently, we have a statement from nhs england about this, and they put out a statement in response to the telegraph story saying gp practitioners must all ensure they are offering convenient face—to—face appointments. so they have clearly picked up what you are saying about kier starmer, this could be a campaigning line for the labour party, but they are slapping down this story very firmly unsinkable don't worry, we're not going to stick with remote appointments unless it particularly suits patients. surely the good thing as it might give people the option because as joe was it might give people the option because asjoe was saying it's more convenient. i because as joe was saying it's more convenient-— convenient. i think what jo said an hour auo convenient. i think what jo said an hour ago is _ convenient. i think what jo said an hour ago is absolutely _ convenient. i think what jo said an hour ago is absolutely right. - convenient. i think what jo said an hour ago is absolutely right. for i hour ago is absolutely right. for some _ hour ago is absolutely right. for some people, of course it is a better— some people, of course it is a better option. they don't want to fill their— better option. they don't want to fill their time with going to see their— fill their time with going to see their gp — fill their time with going to see their gp about something that they 'ust their gp about something that they just need _ their gp about something that they just need some advice on. but i do stress _ just need some advice on. but i do stress a _ just need some advice on. but i do stress a lot— just need some advice on. but i do stress a lot of us are not in that situation — stress a lot of us are not in that situation. , .. stress a lot of us are not in that situation-— stress a lot of us are not in that situation. , ., ., ., ., ,~ , ., situation. jo, i wanted to ask you about the guardian, _

situation. jo, i wanted to ask you about the guardian, the - situation. jo, i wanted to ask you about the guardian, the front - situation. jo, i wanted to ask you i about the guardian, the front page of the guardian chemist type story, backing covert inquiry but not until spring of 2022, the application of the stories, some of the coverage of bases that somehow he is delaying an inquiry. is that do you think? i inquiry. is that do you think? i think the government is in a difficult position on this. i have actually been involved in a couple of inquiries before in some work that i've done, and it's really interesting that there are two ways this can often go in that people can wait years. if you look at things like the infected blood inquiry which is taken decades to actually get to happening, the problem is and the government i think is right on this, there is still a lot going on, we are talking tonight about the indian variantand we are talking tonight about the indian variant and yet, if you have a public inquiry that starts very soon, some of those very people that will be working on new strains and, you know, have been concerns about how we do or don't live our lives will be people that will then be asked to go and talk at a public inquiry. so there is an that we need

to have gotten so far through the pandemic to properly look back at what has happened, what should've happened and actually to have some proper conclusions from that. i think the challenge is that there are lots of people quite rightly who are lots of people quite rightly who are very upset and very concerned and feel that they want answers, and rightly so, but at the same time, we do need as many people as possible that are involved in this process to be rowing in the same direction to get us a spar through and out of this pandemic is possible, and i think that's the balance that the government are really struggling to strike on this one.— government are really struggling to strike on this one.- there - government are really struggling to strike on this one.- there is| strike on this one. david? there is an alternative _ strike on this one. david? there is an alternative to _ strike on this one. david? there is an alternative to this, _ strike on this one. david? there is an alternative to this, surely, - strike on this one. david? there is an alternative to this, surely, is i an alternative to this, surely, is there _ an alternative to this, surely, is there not? _ an alternative to this, surely, is there not? i_ an alternative to this, surely, is there not? itotally an alternative to this, surely, is there not? i totally agree with everything that'sjo has there not? i totally agree with everything that's jo has just there not? i totally agree with everything that'sjo hasjust said, box. _ everything that'sjo hasjust said, box. there — everything that'sjo hasjust said, box, there are some questions, for example. _ box, there are some questions, for example, were we ready, at what stage _ example, were we ready, at what stage where our preparations should we have _ stage where our preparations should we have been more ready? what about

are gone unless you think part of it is to hold them account for the decisions they made or failed to make. i think that is part of the challenge, the very people that may well have questions to answer could also be people that have serious decisions to be making on a daily basis. and i think that is exactly where we have a challenge over it's notjust where we have a challenge over it's not just those where we have a challenge over it's notjust those people that go and sit in an inquiry, it's actually the mountains of paperwork they are going to have to be provided. i mean, we are still not sure of all the problems. i actually was a volunteer at a vaccination centre starting when the vaccination centres were first getting up and running and i volunteered for several months. i had both myjobs because of pfizer that we had left over at the end of sessions. i'm being chased by my doctor now for my second job which i actually had in february, but it turns out that the surgery that provided the first job that i volunteered out didn't register it, so i am now in this bizarre position of trying to prove that i have had both jabs and being

asked to have a third jab, effectively. you stretch or think yourself, hang on a minute, if that isjust me, how many yourself, hang on a minute, if that is just me, how many of these people's records want to be accurate?— people's records want to be accurate? �* ., ., ., , accurate? and therefore how many doses might _ accurate? and therefore how many doses might not _ accurate? and therefore how many doses might not being _ accurate? and therefore how many doses might not being held - accurate? and therefore how many doses might not being held back. accurate? and therefore how many i doses might not being held back from people who could use them. their problems we don't even know exist right now, and i think that is where a lot of the parameters for the inquiry still actually need to be properly worked through. so i take david's point, but i think there are lots of aspects that you don't really want to start the inquiry, get somewhere, and then realise you forgot bits are not covered it and have to go back again. i think people do need to have time to sit back and ensure if we are going to do this properly, thanit we are going to do this properly, than it does need to be done properly and the right people have to be available.— properly and the right people have to be available. rights, we have two minutes left — to be available. rights, we have two minutes left and _ to be available. rights, we have two minutes left and two _ to be available. rights, we have two minutes left and two stories - to be available. rights, we have two minutes left and two stories that - to be available. rights, we have two minutes left and two stories that we | minutes left and two stories that we didn't get a chance to cover in the first one because we didn't know about them. david, first, you will want to take the top story in the times. a well—known faith healer and

against the team that thomas is that you're going to suffer. it is not realistic to come here and play them off the park, and we did what we needed to do, and i thought the _ attitude of the boys and the commitment was extraordinary. in scotland — dundee have one foot in the premiership play—off final after a 3—0, first leg win at raith rovers. jordan scored both of the goals, they made a 3—0 late on. second leg is on saturday. and that game was only part of a busy night in scotland. all 12 premiership sides played their penultimate games. champions rangers are nowjust one match away from completing an undefeated league season — after they beat livingston 3—0. celtic were the big winners on the night — they beat stjohnstone 4—0. there were also wins for hibs and ross county. ross county's win all but relegating hamilton acidemical.
