hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are lizzy burden, economics reporterfor bloomberg geraldine scott, political correspondent at the press association. welcome back to you both. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the metro which focuses on the impact isolations are having on supermarket which it illustrates with empty shelves and staff are caught up in the ping dammit. on the same reports the warnings to the prime minister that there are 48 hours to resolve the pangs of problems or face empty shelves. supermarkets apologise for empty shelves, that's on the front of the

times, it says tesco, sainsbury�*s and waitrose all report problems. and business chiefs calls for store workers to be included on the isolation exemption list are on the front of the telegraph. supermarket shelves laid bare is also the front of the mail. it reports 1.7 million workers are thought to be in quarantine. the same story is on the cover of a mirror but he chooses to lead on the pay rise for nhs staff. it asked, is that really all there were a? as it reports a 3% increase. and on the same story the guardian reports nurses are likely to deem the award to low it may take industrial action in protest. and on brexit the express rights that brussels has triggered a fresh brexit standoff after rejecting a plan to protect peace and ireland. prince george who will be

celebrating his eighth birthday tomorrow. let's begin. ithink celebrating his eighth birthday tomorrow. let's begin. i think there is a theme across most of the front pages and it is encapsulated in the daily mail. shocking toll of pingdemic is laid bare. illustrated with a picture of empty shelves in supermarkets which feature on many of the front pages today. lizzie, if i might start with you. it feels like the political pressure is ratcheting up on the government about this, if the front pages are to be taken at face values. yes. about this, if the front pages are to be taken at face values. yes, the government — to be taken at face values. yes, the government doesn't _ to be taken at face values. yes, the government doesn't seem - to be taken at face values. yes, the government doesn't seem to - to be taken at face values. yes, the government doesn't seem to be - government doesn't seem to be budging. it's causing massive problems across business because the staff shortages resulting from hundreds of thousands of people being pinged by the nhs track and trace app because they come into

contact with a positive case of coronavirus that having to self—isolate, stay off work and not causing disruption to food supply. also to police forces, post office deliveries and as you say, the pressure is mounting on the government. but there was confusion originally about whether people actually needed to self—isolate. the government later came out and said that they did. but there will be exemptions for critical businesses. but that won't come in until august the 16th that it won't be a blanket exemption for certain roles or sectors. businesses are going to be really angry about that bearing in mind that the prime minister himself momentarily tried to escape self isolation at the weekend. this confusion is really undermining public confidence in the governments response and businesses especially

came earlier in the pandemic. the way to resolve that as geraldine saysis way to resolve that as geraldine says is for the government to respond with clarity. and to let businesses know as soon as possible who is going to be exempted who's not so that they can start working on temporary workers to fill those gaps. industry bosses in saying that this is a perfect storm. when you mentioned the lorry drivers, you've also got german floods that are holding up deliveries there. you've got the amazing weather we've been having which always clears out supermarket shelves. it's compounding the problem. ultimately, lifting lockdown measures at the height of summer after the football when a third of the population are unvaccinated there is always good to be a gamble. to avoid that panic you

vaccination. some are threatening to boycott the tory party conference later in the air because they're saying that's a massive event, surely then you're good to be asking us for a vaccine passport. it's been back—and—forth because freedom day open nightclubs, thenjohnson said you need twojobs open nightclubs, thenjohnson said you need two jobs to get into a nightclub. and now the plan looks like it could be in the comments. —— sunkin like it could be in the comments. —— sunk in the comments. asking whether we've hit petejohnson. because this could be so embarrassing for him. geraldine, i suppose it is saying that there is some thought that this may never even come to a vote in the commons if enough young people had been vaccinated. in some ways this could be a way of trying to encourage younger people to take up to encourage younger people to take up thejob. it to encourage younger people to take u- the 'ob. .., to encourage younger people to take u- the 'ob. _, , to encourage younger people to take u- the 'ob. , �*, ., up the 'ob. it could be, it's a ris up the job. it could be, it's a risky game- _ up the job. it could be, it's a risky game. not _ up the job. it could be, it's a risky game. not really - up the job. it could be, it's a risky game. not really sure i risky game. not really sure there prime _ risky game. not really sure there prime minister is getting himself ready— prime minister is getting himself ready favours for more of his

staff exhausted, tory 3% deal will mean cutting wages in real terms. lizzie, we know that nursing unions call for 12.5% and indeed the mirror says that the royal college is saying staff will not take this lying down. everybody knows what a difficult time anybody working in the nhs has had over these past few months. the the nhs has had over these past few months. ~ , ., , , months. the prime minister has been tweetin: months. the prime minister has been tweeting about _ months. the prime minister has been tweeting about how _ months. the prime minister has been tweeting about how they _ months. the prime minister has been tweeting about how they are - months. the prime minister has been tweeting about how they are heroes l tweeting about how they are heroes was up but i don't think dithering has done the government any favours for its image. first of all you had the care minister meant to announce, expected to announce the 3% pay rise at lunch time. never came. until later in the day when the government confirmed it was going ahead. it is an improvement on the 1% that the

government originally recommended. as you say, the unions say that staff deserve more, they are burned out. the morale is low in the nhs. and some bank of injury and policy members expect information to go up to for percent. as the paper says, this would be a real term pay rise. it's less than nhs staff are getting in scotland. it excludes junior doctors, excludes outsourced work for cleaners, porters and it's not can help with the vacancies issue that the nhs has when this image is like this. there is the risk of strike action. which is only going to compound the headaches if there's a third wave and you've got this backlog of cases that are nothing to do with covid. ibis backlog of cases that are nothing to do with covid.—

it's been hugely unpopular with tory brexiteers and businesses are saying that it's really making life difficult for them. mns is saying that they cannot get sandwiches in without three birth certificates. they are saying that trucks are being denied entry be because of the wrong type of ink on paper work. it's actually paperwork, it's not digitalforms. it's causing it's actually paperwork, it's not digital forms. it's causing a it's actually paperwork, it's not digitalforms. it's causing a real headache. this is tall orders from the brexit minister, david frost. and the eu is likewise standing firm against them. it saying, we are not going to scrap the protocol but were going to scrap the protocol but were going to scrap the protocol but were going to have to find creative solutions within it. you can understand frost say this is just unworkable and the eu has accepted that something has got to change.

with your sports news. oval invincibles won the opening game of cricket's inaugural women's hundred competition when they beat manchester originals by 5 wickets at the oval in london and watching wasjo currie. lighting up the london sky a potential new era for cricket in this country. the traditionalists said there was no appetite for a tournament but dance did make their way to the oval for this historic game to see what the 100 was all about. a women's match to kick things off with manchester as originals winning the toss. after all the hype all eyes were on the first ball. a wide. perhaps the nerves were showing early. the first wicket quickly followed but the invincibles found harder to remove south african batter, one of the big—name signings of the league she showed how you turn up to a big match. notching up from two. ——42 indians wasn't messing around either. this her third boundary in a row. when you've only got

100 balls to win a game, this is how you do it. the originals innings as they set a target of 136 for victory. when you are the tournaments youngest player you may be forgiven for a little trepidation. not 16—year—old, this her first ball. as time ticked all doing that on the invisibles were under pressure to hit runs. her half—century set up the finish. with host needing one run from three balls, did it room to spare. there it is, the oval invisibles making history by recording the first of a win and the question is now can they and the other teams win overfans in this format of the game over the coming weeks? british shooter amber hill has withdrawn from the tokyo olympics after testing positive for coronavirus, before her depature for the games. hill is ranked number one in women's skeet shooting and joins chilean taekwondo athlete

fernanda aguirre and dutch skateboarder candy jacobs — in having to pull out because of positive covid tests. the british olympic association said there would be no replacement for hill, who won silver at the commonwealth games in 2018. a tough one for amber hill to take, but there's better news for british 400 metres hurdlerjessie knight who will still be allowed to compete at the games, despite being told to isolate — along with five other team gb athletes because a passenger on their flight to tokyo tested positive for coronavirus. knight and the others have been given the green light to resume training. as an athlete you did know it could happen. just because of the current situation and you just knew, i'm just relieved that i haven't tested positive. i'm actually in a good position, i'm healthy and to be honest, yeah, i'm spending a lot of time in my room but i can relax and i can focus on the one thing and the one reason i'm here.

despite the opening ceremony taking place on friday, team gb have already got their competition underway, in women's football and they got off to a winning start — beating chile 2—0 in sapporo. manchester city striker ellen white scored both goals — the first from close range in the first half before this flying volley in the second half made sure of the points from great britain. their next game is against hosts japan on saturday. well, there was a big win in one of this morning's other games — sweden beat four—time olympic champions usa by three goals to nil in tokyo — the result ending the usa's 44 game unbeaten run. so just a couple of days to wait then, till that tokyo opening ceremony — but today we've found out the hosts for the games in 2032. brisbane has been awarded the games — which will be the third time australia has hosted an olympics after melbourne in 1956 and sydney in 2000. the announcement was greeted by fireworks in the australian city where people had gathered

for the news. the scottish football association have announced that pedro martinez losa has been appointed the new women s national team head coach. he replaces shelley kerr who stepped down at the end of last year. the 45—year—old spaniard was the arsenal women s manager from 2014 for three seasons — winning the fa cup and wsl cup during his time in charge. he's signed a three—year contract with the sfa and will take charge ahead of the 2023 women 5 world cup qualifying campaign. alun wynjones will captain the british and irish lions, for the first test against south africa on saturday. the welshman's tour looked to be over less than a month ago, after suffering a dislocated shoulder but his remarkable recovery means he'll become the first player in the professional era to win 10 successive test caps for the lions. it's a side that has three scottish players for the first time in 24 years. head coach warren gatland is confident in the players he's chosen for the match in cape town.

we feel like we are in a good place and some players that the coaches would of had in their starting 15 to to make the 23 because looking at the combinations on the bench and experience, ijust need to reiterate just how important, it's notjust a starting 15 but the guys coming off the bench are going to have a significant impact. and they need to have an impact coming off the bench for us. former winner gary anderson has been knocked out of the world matchplay darts by england's nathan aspinall. the scot who was 2018 champion here, and is also a two—time former world champion was beaten 11—9 in blackpool as aspinall looks to add to his sole victory at the uk championship two years ago. everything else you can head to the bbc sport website. and that's all the sport for now.
