with some of the highest temperatures ever recorded in north america. officials warn that the record—breaking heatwave will last all week. reports from ethiopia say the federal government has announced a unilateral ceasefire in tigray, where conflict with regional forces has been raging for the past eight months. earlier, tigrayan fighters reportedly took back the regional capital, mekelle. more than 150 people are still missing after a building collapsed in florida, killing at least ten people. no one has been pulled alive from the site since thursday. england is still on course to lift coronavirus restrictions in three weeks�* time, according to the new health secretary, sajid javid. he's acknowledged that infections are rising, but said people will have to learn to live with the virus.

hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster, david davies, and the deputy political editor of the scottish daily mail, rachel watson. let's take a look at the front pages which are in — starting with the metro. "did he back him, or sack him?" it raises the question around the exit of the former health secretary. matt hancock says he resigned, borisjohnson says he fired him. the ft turns to the new health secretary, sajid javid and his comments that the nation needs to "learn to live" with coronavirus as the government continues with its plans to ease lockdown restrictions in england on 19july. and the "end of the line for lockdown" — the i illustrates mrjavid's desire to stick to the current plans of easing lockdown next month. the mail describes the health

secretary as "fighting for freedom" as he says that restrictions should notlast "a moment longer" than necessary. "no more self—isolation for students," says the guardian. it leads with plans by ministers to stop pupils from having to isolate after being in contact with someone who has tested postitive for coronavirus. and more news for students, as school's are to become "mobile phone—free zones" under new plans be announced by education secretary, gavin williamson. this is our kind of penalty shoot—out. let's start with the papers. rachel, we will look at the daily telegraph first of all. "and madness of isolating children." all yours. madness of isolating children." all ours. , ., , ., yours. the daily telegraph and the guardian went _ yours. the daily telegraph and the guardian went on _ yours. the daily telegraph and the guardian went on the _ yours. the daily telegraph and the guardian went on the story, - yours. the daily telegraph and the guardian went on the story, as - yours. the daily telegraph and the | guardian went on the story, as well, where children who are having to self—isolate because they come in contact with the potential case of coronavirus at school — this is an issue we've seen become more prominent in the last few weeks, even as schools went on holiday.

there is a striking... children with confirmed cases are in the thousands who are now having a self—isolate because of tests, as well. sajid javid has said today that you'd like to look again at this ten day self isolation rule for children, and i think that's something we could see movement on. the daily telegraph says that this could be replaced by a system of daily testing for children if they have come into contact with someone in their bubble at school. and i think as we've seen over the last few weeks, the cases in children seem to be rising as the vaccine roll—out works for adults, and this becomes a much more prominent issue of, how do we get children back to school, get the exams back on track next year for youngsters, as well, and how can we solve it? this seems like an issue the uk government and scottish government will need to look at in the next few weeks and months. basic! the next few weeks and months. david davies, the guardian _ the next few weeks and months. david davies, the guardian has _ the next few weeks and months. david davies, the guardian has a _ the next few weeks and months. david davies, the guardian has a similar

don't know how they'll get till final resorts —— get theirfinal results. we don't know what the impacts will be on their futures as they grow up and socialise in their education. so i think it's time we do look at this and how we can help children get back into the classroom, and whether it is feasible to either cut that self isolation time for them or if the test every couple days.- isolation time for them or if the test every couple days. exams were bad enough — test every couple days. exams were bad enough in _ test every couple days. exams were bad enough in normal _ test every couple days. exams were bad enough in normaltimes. - test every couple days. exams were bad enough in normaltimes. i - test every couple days. exams were i bad enough in normaltimes. i cannot bad enough in normal times. i cannot imagine how bad they must be in pandemic times. now we go back to the daily telegraph, on the front page at the bottom to the right is another story we flagged up.

of the weekend. as someone who's lived through the last 12—18 months, it seems like nothing can be irreversible. but i understand what sajid javid was trying to do, trying to read into that optimism that people feel today. there's other stories in the paper about the vaccine roll—outs, mixing and matching vaccines leading to optimism. mrjavid wanted to start with a splash on his first day and set himself apart from matt hancock. he was also chancellor, so he knows what's going on in other departments, he'll know about the impact on the economy. so i think he's trying to take that experience that he's got into this new role, as well. , ., ., well. david davies, that word irreversible _ well. david davies, that word irreversible that _ well. david davies, that word irreversible that rachel - well. david davies, that word irreversible that racheljust l irreversible that racheljust identified — i put that to a scientist earlier, and the scientist threw up his hands, almost saying, why would a politician take away a

potential tool which might have to be used at some point if there are mutations or new variants? was it more politics than anything else, that word irreversible? flail more politics than anything else, that word irreversible?— more politics than anything else, that word irreversible? call me an old cynic- -- _ that word irreversible? call me an old cynic- -- l— that word irreversible? call me an old cynic... i doubt _ that word irreversible? call me an old cynic... i doubt i'll— that word irreversible? call me an old cynic... i doubt i'll have - that word irreversible? call me an old cynic... i doubt i'll have to - that word irreversible? call me an old cynic... i doubt i'll have to do| old cynic... i doubt i'll have to do so. i old cynic... i doubt i'll have to do so- i suspect _ old cynic... i doubt i'll have to do so. i suspect something - old cynic... i doubt i'll have to do so. i suspect something inside i so. i suspect something inside number ten — so. i suspect something inside number ten was _ so. i suspect something inside number ten was very - so. i suspect something inside number ten was very clear - so. i suspect something inside| number ten was very clear this morning — number ten was very clear this morning that notjust my mp, sajid javid, _ morning that notjust my mp, sajid javid, and — morning that notjust my mp, sajid javid, and that the prime minister would _ javid, and that the prime minister would go — javid, and that the prime minister would go out and be positive, if this was— would go out and be positive, if this was going to be the date and we are going _ this was going to be the date and we are going to have freedoms — but they must— are going to have freedoms — but they must know if they are "following the science," do you remember— "following the science," do you remember that as well? some of us used to— remember that as well? some of us used to say, — remember that as well? some of us used to say, "which science and whose _ used to say, "which science and whose science?" anyway, let's say that them — whose science?" anyway, let's say that the... the views of the science change _ that the... the views of the science change over— that the... the views of the science change over the next few weeks before _ change over the next few weeks before 19 — change over the next few weeks before 19 july. what do you do then?

"nineteen july is the end of the line for - being irreversible. "nineteen july i is the end of the line for lockdown, says javid." we've also got a continuation of this conversation in the daily mail, which seems to be an ally of sajid javid at the moment. "bring it on! javid fights for freedom." rachel, that comes from your counterpart paper? freedom.�* rachel, that comes from your counterpart paper?— freedom." rachel, that comes from your counterpart paper? reading from --eole at your counterpart paper? reading from people at the — your counterpart paper? reading from people at the moment, _ your counterpart paper? reading from people at the moment, as _ your counterpart paper? reading from people at the moment, as i _ your counterpart paper? reading from| people at the moment, as i mentioned previously, we were told that this vaccine would be the end point, and there seems to be optimism apart

from the government — in scotland, our dates don't quite match up with england or the rest of the uk for restrictions, but for nicola sturgeon, who's been a lot more cautious throughout this, there seems to be a lot more optimism from her in the dates she set — i think august is when we expect most restrictions to be lifted. and i think, you know, this is the vaccine roll—outs, we moved through summer and we are feeling optimistic. and i think sajid javid has almost ridden to that and made that statement today, as the daily mail says, this sets him quite apart from matt hancock which might be part of his thinking, to try and put as much space between him and the former health secretary as possible. speaking of matt hancock, let's look at the metro. "now boris rewrites history." this is the idea that borisjohnson, having said it was

not a story, then accepting the resignation seems now to be saying, "well, actually, i got rid of him." what do you make of this? i think downin: what do you make of this? i think downing street _ what do you make of this? i think downing street tonight _ what do you make of this? i think downing street tonight has - what do you make of this? i think downing street tonight has been. downing street tonight has been watering down any such suggestion. but it— watering down any such suggestion. but it is— watering down any such suggestion. but it is true that on friday morning. _ but it is true that on friday morning, boris was saying it's a private — morning, boris was saying it's a private matter in the matter was closed — private matter in the matter was closed. and of course, by saturday sunday. _ closed. and of course, by saturday sunday. it — closed. and of course, by saturday sunday, it was over, or at least one major— sunday, it was over, or at least one major element of it was over. what strikes _ major element of it was over. what strikes me — major element of it was over. what strikes me very much, and i wonder if rachel— strikes me very much, and i wonder if rachel agrees with me on this, there _ if rachel agrees with me on this, there are — if rachel agrees with me on this, there are some any questions unanswered in all this. just to raise — unanswered in all this. just to raise a — unanswered in all this. just to raise a few, the use of private e-mails — raise a few, the use of private e-mails on _ raise a few, the use of private e—mails on government business, which _ e—mails on government business, which is _ e—mails on government business, which is alleged in matt hancock's case: _ which is alleged in matt hancock's case, that— which is alleged in matt hancock's case, that opens up a huge can of worms— case, that opens up a huge can of worms around all sorts of government departments, as well. and you do
