be at this time of year. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow

mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. extra testing is being carried out in 15 places across the uk for the variant of the coronavirus first detected in india. an israeli aistrike has destroyed a tower block in gaza housing international media. israel claims the building was being used by hamas intelligence. wreath laying services have been held across the uk and around the world, to mark the centenary of the royal british legion. meanwhile in london, thousands of pro—palestinian protesters marched to the gates of the israeli embassy. leicester celebrate beating chelsea in front of the uk's biggest football crowd since the coronavirus pandemic began.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are geraldine scott, the westminster correspondent at the yorkshire post and conservative commentator, tim montgomerie. a quick look through the front pages for our viewers. borisjohnson is under pressure to reconsider monday's relaxation of coronavirus restrictions due to the indian variant, says the observer. but the sunday express says the prime minister "cannot afford to panic", with mps and business urging him to stick to the roadmap. the sunday telegraph says that the government wants to vaccinate as many as a million people a day in order to beat the variant, and "save summer". meanwhile, the independent says thousands of medics working for the government's test and trace service will be sacked —

to be replaced by cheaper non—clinical employees. a royal story on the front page of the mail on sunday — they say aides want harry and meghan�*s titles removed, after harry's commented on his upbringing in a podcast let's begin our chapter. tim, geraldine, we are going to start off with the observer. i think, tim, you can kick us out. johnson must think again is the headline. yes, it's almost inevitable that when we get close to unlocking, it seems to be another variant of this wicked illness popping up. i'm sure it is medical expert people who specialise in the science of the epidemic who are worried that the unlocking is happening at a bad

time. i think that overall, the government's decision to press ahead is the right one. we do know that the vaccines that we have, and britain is very well—placed with vaccines, they do seem to be able to treat the indian variants, and so the question is can we get more of the question is can we get more of the vaccines rolled out to the younger people who do seem to be a little bit more vulnerable to the indian variants than some of the other variants of covid, and that i think it's what the government is going to try and do as well as monitoring the situation very closely, because, you know, one thing that we have managed to come to get as a nation after this crisis is a very advanced system of monitoring, the covid it epidemic. so if there is an upsurge in local areas, the government can send in swat teams and extra resources to ensure that we are stamping it down

as quickly as possible. tim. ensure that we are stamping it down as quickly as possible.— as quickly as possible. tim, “ust want to pickfi as quickly as possible. tim, “ust want to pick upi as quickly as possible. tim, “ust want to pick up a i as quickly as possible. tim, “ust want to pick up a point i as quickly as possible. tim, 'ust want to pick up a point that h as quickly as possible. tim, just want to pick up a point that you | want to pick up a point that you brought in there about the efficiency of the vaccine on the indian variants. i am not aware of i . i indian variants. i am not aware of i . ido indian variants. i am not aware of �*. i do know that professor antony of the jcb i �*. i do know that professor antony of thejcb i have said that they �*. i do know that professor antony of the jcb i have said that they are certainly, almost certainly less effective. i certainly, almost certainly less effective. ~ . effective. i think there are differing _ effective. i think there are differing views _ effective. i think there are differing views among - effective. i think there are i differing views among certain effective. i think there are _ differing views among certain medics and specialists, but generally, i think, i understand pretty well established that the vaccines may not stop the indian variants being transferred quite so easily to other people, but in terms of hospitalisation and preventing people from, you know, fatalities, then the vaccines that we have and then the vaccines that we have and the vaccines that are still to be delivered to us are relatively effective, just as they are against the other variants that we have been

government is throwing the kitchen sink at getting jabs in peoples arms because, as we say, that is what is going to protect us. and there is a line in this story when you look at the mail, covid hit squads which would go into areas where there are lots of this variance. i have pictures of, you know, zip wiring people in, they are going to vaccinate all intergenerational families in one so it sounds like they're going all in on this to really stamp it out before we have to go back to what has been suggested those awful local lockdowns that we saw last year. tim, we saw the headlines about saving christmas, the sunday telegraph is talking about saving summer. i wonder if you could just draw out the differences between the approach within the conservative party. michael gove and the chancellor rishi sunak. yes, i think this has been _ chancellor rishi sunak. yes, i think this has been a _ chancellor rishi sunak. yes, i think this has been a fairly _ chancellor rishi sunak. yes, i think this has been a fairly consistent - this has been a fairly consistent difference of opinion over the whole course of the covid crisis. michael

gove has been quite hawkish. he's been leading, really, alongside matt hancock, the health secretary, very cautious about government policy ends unlocking, fearful that if there is a premature unlocking, we will see the kind of upsurge in infections that we are all too familiar with from last year. rishi sunak, the chancellor, of course, he is more willing to take the risk on it covid because he is worried about the other big risk, and of course, we are notjust facing a covid challenge, we are facing an economic challenge, we are facing an economic challenge, and many people are worried about theirjobs if we don't get the economy started again, and rishi sunak is championing that's perspective. as well, of course, the other risk is that we have a massive backlog in the national health service, routine hospital treatments for cancer and other important diseases aren't being dealt with

properly in the normal way, so the longer we delayjust being extra careful extra secure to fight covid, we are potentially causing greater health and social as well as economic problems, and it's understandable, really, that the heart of government you have people worrying about the emphasis that we put on those different risks.- put on those different risks. before return to the _ put on those different risks. before return to the next _ put on those different risks. before return to the next paper, _ put on those different risks. before return to the next paper, the - return to the next paper, the headline on the sunday telegraph was pushed for i headline on the sunday telegraph was pushed fori million jabs a day to save the summer. 0k, pushed fori million jabs a day to save the summer. ok, the sunday times, geraldine, and question marks and questions, really, about how the variants may have entered the uk. absolute. this is the debate we have heard about why we did not stop people coming into the country from india earlier. we met there have been suggestions it's because boris johnson didn't want to offend the indian prime minister, but, yes, it seems like there are 20,000 people coming into the country, which, of course is a worry, and builds this

picture, doesn't it? that actually, the government have always may be acted as quickly as it could do, and various experts have said there is no time which is too soon to act in a pandemic. 0f no time which is too soon to act in a pandemic. of course, i'm sure this will all play out in the commons as soon as possible, but, yes, there are real questions over why we did not stop these people at the border sooner or maybe have a better system in place for tracing them once they are in the country stopping and putting them on the red list, of course. the front page the observer, tim, and harrowing pictures, of course, coming out of this conflict between the palestinian territories and israel. 0ver between the palestinian territories and israel. over the years, those of us up a certain age have seen conflicts between the israeli and and palestinian people take place with children, very vulnerable people always the innocent victims

of the conflict between the terrorist groups that purport to represent the pella tennis —— palestinian people in the very well—equipped israeli military. i think one of the differences that has shocked all of us over the last few days, different even from some of the her brenda is conflicts of the past is the intercommunal violence, particularly within israel, where you have arab and israeli neighbours, people who have lived alongside each other peacefully for many years suddenly turning against each other, burning buildings, burning their neighbours homes. it's a frightening illustration of how a civil war can you wrapped, and let's hope that somehow, wiser heads on a community level as well as an international level as well as an international level can bring this awful situation under some

kind of control. the likelihood of that though? — that though? welcome it's looking quite slim, isn't _ welcome it's looking quite slim, isn't it? — welcome it's looking quite slim, isn't it? we artie know that president biden have spoken to both sides _ president biden have spoken to both sides we _ president biden have spoken to both sides. we know there is going to be un security— sides. we know there is going to be un security council meeting, but you know, _ un security council meeting, but you know. it _ un security council meeting, but you know. it was — un security council meeting, but you know, it was touched on there, and i think— know, it was touched on there, and i think the _ know, it was touched on there, and i think the observer still says that there _ think the observer still says that there were eight young cousins gathered for ee and a particular set that they— gathered for ee and a particular set that they are talking about, one man has lost _ that they are talking about, one man has lost his— that they are talking about, one man has lost his wife and five sons in their— has lost his wife and five sons in their home _ has lost his wife and five sons in their home and then a five—month—old baby survived. so it is these kinds of stories— baby survived. so it is these kinds of stories of— baby survived. so it is these kinds of stories of the people caught up in this— of stories of the people caught up in this which absolutely break my heart _ in this which absolutely break my heart. sorry suppose, you know, i don't _ heart. sorry suppose, you know, i don't know— heart. sorry suppose, you know, i don't know what the solution is, but that does— don't know what the solution is, but that does seem like the international bodies need to get their— international bodies need to get their heads together and try to figure — their heads together and try to figure out a way forward, but i cannot— figure out a way forward, but i cannot say— figure out a way forward, but i cannot say i am hopeful. it seems that they've _ cannot say i am hopeful. it seems that they've been _ cannot say i am hopeful. it seems that they've been speaking - cannot say i am hopeful. it seems that they've been speaking to - cannot say i am hopeful. it seems that they've been speaking to the | that they've been speaking to the mail on sunday.— mail on sunday. yes, and abrupt chante mail on sunday. yes, and abrupt change of _ mail on sunday. yes, and abrupt change of gear — mail on sunday. yes, and abrupt change of gear from _ mail on sunday. yes, and abrupt change of gear from what -- - mail on sunday. yes, and abrupt change of gear from what -- the i change of gear from what —— the horror of what we have just been talking about, but, yes, it is an ongoing saga, this? and i think

harry had a lot of sympathy from a lot of people originally when he wanted to escape from the royal family, a very unusual lifestyle for anyone, but hejust family, a very unusual lifestyle for anyone, but he just seems to keep picking up the wounds now, and rather than enjoy his new freedom and let the rest of the royal family carry on doing what they are doing, he seems to be particularly critical of his father, and ifind it very unattractive, actually, and it does seem that the mail on sunday, if we are to believe what the mail on sunday reports, they have had a little bit of a track record against megan in recent times and ended up in courts, but it does seem that there are certain leading members of there are certain leading members of the buckingham palace royalfamily establishment you are wanting now to punish harry and really take away all of his rail privileges, really because he is not behaving well, and

it is hard, really, to argue that he is behaving well. so i'm afraid he has got this coming to him. geraldine, very quickly to my do think this matters more to the british public or the royalfamily? that's a difficult one. i think the british— that's a difficult one. i think the british public may be see it as a little _ british public may be see it as a little bit — british public may be see it as a little bit up, you know, talking about— little bit up, you know, talking about this lifestyle that he found very difficult, and i'm sure was in many— very difficult, and i'm sure was in many ways, — very difficult, and i'm sure was in many ways, but it is still a lifestyle _ many ways, but it is still a lifestyle that many of the british public, _ lifestyle that many of the british public, i— lifestyle that many of the british public, i think i'm a dream of. so it does— public, i think i'm a dream of. so it does stick— public, i think i'm a dream of. so it does stick in the throat a little bits come — it does stick in the throat a little bits come about, of course, it is also _ bits come about, of course, it is also difficult for the royal family, the pr_ also difficult for the royal family, the pr hit— also difficult for the royal family, the pr hit they have taken over this has not _ the pr hit they have taken over this has not been well received, so i wouldn't — has not been well received, so i wouldn't be surprised, i suppose if there _ wouldn't be surprised, i suppose if there was— wouldn't be surprised, i suppose if there was some come back to that as well. , ., ., ., there was some come back to that as well. , . ., ~ , ., there was some come back to that as well. , . . ~' , ., , well. geraldine, tim, thank you very much indeed- _ well. geraldine, tim, thank you very much indeed. i— well. geraldine, tim, thank you very much indeed. i do _ well. geraldine, tim, thank you very much indeed. i do need _ well. geraldine, tim, thank you very much indeed. i do need to _ well. geraldine, tim, thank you very much indeed. i do need to say - much indeed. i do need to say congratulations, of course first two leicester city and the foxes, let's just very quickly show one of the pictures on the front pages. we haven't got it, but if you've missed
