the sunday mirror and sunday poeple. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the observer has been hearing from bosses within the uk food industry who say government measures to prevent staff from isolating have been so badly mishandled, they've made the crisis worse. the sunday people focuses on the transport industry which is also suffering the adverse effects of the pingdemic. it says a shortage of staff at heathrow meant travellers were queueing for hours. the sunday times reports that private schools have been accused of taking advantage of covid disruption to a—levels and playing the system by lobbying top universities and medical schools to take pupils whose performance is too weak to qualify for a place — even before exam results are published in two weeks�* time. the sunday telegraph

leads on reports that premier league football fans, who've not been fully vaccinated, could be barred from attending matches from october under plans expected to be signed off by ministers. the sunday mirror has the same story — but adds it will include all fans — through to league 2 in england. and, finally, the sunday express says every victim of crime will be given a named police officer they can call or email about their case as part of a major new blitz by the government. so let's begin... quite a variety of front pages there. thank you forjoining us, joe and nigel, let us start. let's turn to the front page of the observer and feed bosses are not happy. m0. and feed bosses are not happy. no, the are and feed bosses are not happy. no, they are not. _ and feed bosses are not happy. iifr, they are not, and as you said, they are saying that ministers, the

government making their supply chaos worse. we know there is a problem with the supply of food and i suspect people are seeing shortages of things already cropping up in supermarkets and shops and of course, as soon as you say to people, don't panic buy, you might as well set up the supermarket trolley dash. the problem is the supermarket and the people within this food supply chain are saying they still have no idea of who is on they still have no idea of who is on the left of organisations and companies that are exempt from self isolation. —— on the list. apparently only 3% out of 500 on the list have been contacted. so, at the moment, it is chaos. we are in a situation, i know we will be talking about it in every other sector as well, where if you are pinged, you have to go into isolation for ten days, which means there is a

shortage of drivers, a shortage of people and food processing, shortage of people in supermarkets, and i think the government is heading towards a summer of chaos of their own making, it has to be said. nigel, when you stop and think about this, if you are having to submit individual names, i mean, that is an administration nightmare, isn't it? it is, and there are two things going — it is, and there are two things going on. _ it is, and there are two things going on, the fact that this wasn't thought— going on, the fact that this wasn't thought through so, actually, how you make — thought through so, actually, how you make it work has not been thought— you make it work has not been thought through either. the poor communication that goes with it. and in the _ communication that goes with it. and in the next _ communication that goes with it. and in the next few days, we might see the effects— in the next few days, we might see the effects of it. i was in a supermarket today and i have to say that all— supermarket today and i have to say that all the — supermarket today and i have to say that all the food shelf seemed to be well stacked, there was no problem, but there _ well stacked, there was no problem, but there were an awful lot of empty shelves _ but there were an awful lot of empty shelves for— but there were an awful lot of empty shelves for other things, the oddest one of— shelves for other things, the oddest one of all— shelves for other things, the oddest one of all was the shelf containing

said, ok, we'll bring with the 60s forward to now, and if you have been double vaccinated on your test is negative, then you can go back to work. because in another two or three weeks, with so many people staying at home because they can't go abroad, with pressures on rural and tourist areas, i mean, cornel has been talk by the problems there, and we have already heard about the problems in the hospitality and catering industry, so it is a real problem. but if you've got police, that many police officers off work because they have been pinged or they are self isolating, you've got a real problem.— they are self isolating, you've got a real problem. nigel, how much of this do you — a real problem. nigel, how much of this do you think— a real problem. nigel, how much of this do you think is _ a real problem. nigel, how much of this do you think is the _ a real problem. nigel, how much of this do you think is the government i this do you think is the government trying to stick to those models of waiting for the delay to play through to see how those numbers are going to react to the lifting of restrictions in order to meet that august date? because they do say it

premier league so that would be a disasterfor premier league so that would be a disaster for them. premier league so that would be a disasterforthem. how are premier league so that would be a disaster for them. how are you going to police this and how are you going to police this and how are you going to make it possible? are you going to make it possible? are you going to do it by phone and digitally? we still have 3,000,018 to 30—year—olds who still haven't had that first vaccine. we saw what happened at wembley for the euro 2020 final which was an absolute disgrace and a complete shambles. is it going to be possible for the stewards at football matches and the queues that will shoot, football matches and the queues that willshoot, if football matches and the queues that will shoot, if they've got to check every single, you know, test, vaccination certificate, oh, i haven't got it with me, i vetted at home. all of that sort of stuff. it is all very well saying trust the people to use their common sense but actually i think the people have got every right to expect the government to show a little bit of common sense, and they are not. and as nigel said, once you lose the trust of people, you know, we have all put up of people, you know, we have all put up with a lot, everybody in this

country and around the world has made huge sacrifices to try and keep everything under control, but there is a point when there is no logic to it and we have already heard anecdotally, perhaps, of people who are disabling or uninstalling the nhs app from their phones so that they don't get pinged. so, the whole thing is an absolute nonsense. nigel, same story, messages posted ijy nigel, same story, messages posted by gareth southgate, i am sure you have seen that, do you think that would help to get that key age group, that young age group that need to increase the uptake of the vaccine? will it help to push them to go and get the jab? i vaccine? will it help to push them to go and get the jab?— to go and get the “ab? i think an bod to go and get the “ab? i think anybody who _ to go and get the “ab? i think anybody who has _ to go and get the jab? i think anybody who has influence i to go and get the jab? i think i anybody who has influence other young _ anybody who has influence other young people should push ahead. this is where _ young people should push ahead. this is where the whole vaccination programme seems to be slowing down. we have _ programme seems to be slowing down. we have now got 3 million 18 to 30—year—olds who have not even had their first _ 30—year—olds who have not even had their first jab — 30—year—olds who have not even had their first jab yet. so,

supposed to be a meeting on monday of the covid group of ministers. and i presume they are being lobbied left, right, and centre from all possible industrial sectors, whether it is catering, hospitality, border force police, local government or the health and care sector. so they are under huge pressure. we have seen that there are no strangers to u—turns, we saw that last weekend with a nonsense of borisjohnson and the chancellor not going to isolation and then deciding that perhaps they ought to. but i think it comes back to this whole thing off, if you are trying to encourage people to get vaccinated, which is hugely important, whether it is gareth southgate or whoever it is, that gets that message through, that can't be done more importantly, particularly as kids start going back to university and college in september, october. really, really important. but if people who have already been vaccinated andhow

testing negative are still being forced to stay off work, and in many cases, people will be losing quite a lot of money. if you are on a zero—hours contract, you are absolutely screwed by this. people will think, i am absolutely screwed by this. people will think, iam not absolutely screwed by this. people will think, i am not sure there is much point in being vaccinated. it either works or it doesn't. again, it comes back to this mixed messaging. it comes back to this mixed messaging-— it comes back to this mixed messaging. it comes back to this mixed messauuin. , ., ., ., messaging. nigel, before we move on to our next paper. _ messaging. nigel, before we move on to our next paper, are _ messaging. nigel, before we move on to our next paper, are you _ messaging. nigel, before we move on to our next paper, are you surprised i to our next paper, are you surprised about the number of people going on holiday when you consider the delta variant is driving cases up? yes. holiday when you consider the delta variant is driving cases up?- variant is driving cases up? yes, i am. it is variant is driving cases up? yes, i am- it is rrot _ variant is driving cases up? yes, i am. it is not so _ variant is driving cases up? yes, i am. it is not so much _ variant is driving cases up? yes, i am. it is not so much what - variant is driving cases up? yes, i am. it is not so much what is - variant is driving cases up? yes, i l am. it is not so much what is going on in _ am. it is not so much what is going on in other— am. it is not so much what is going on in other countries but the fact that everything can change so suddenly when you are away. so, apart— suddenly when you are away. so, apart from — suddenly when you are away. so, apart from the expense and hassle of all the _ apart from the expense and hassle of all the testing you have to get done, — all the testing you have to get done, both to leave the country and to come _ done, both to leave the country and to come back into it, the fact that you can _ to come back into it, the fact that you can go — to come back into it, the fact that you can go away, go away somewhere and suddenly discover that your

know what the results are where as in the old days, they would have to wait for the results to come through. the a—level results on you until august the 10th but here we are at the end ofjuly and many teachers will know already what pupils have got, what grade they have got, because they match them. and what the report in the sunday times says is that, particularly private schools are lobbying like mad to oxbridge and the rest of other universities and medical schools to get their pupils a place, evenif schools to get their pupils a place, even if their results are not good enough to normally have been accepted. so there is obviously accelerations of, you know, private schools trying to pull strings and get pupils and who perhaps wouldn't have done otherwise. but i suspect it is going on all over the place because of the disruption to education.

feel like the olympics. as a viewer, what sense are you getting, jo? well, it is very weird, isn't it? with some of the things, because i have never been to the olympic games, so, you know, you watch as a viewer and you don't really notice that there isn't a cloud there, but, obviously, for somebody like adam peaty, andy speaks eloquently in this piece in the telegraph about how you feed off the cloud. i mean, you think you are swimming and it is full seconds but if you can hear the roar, the swimming pool they have this olympic pool injapan, it is a 15,000 seater pool, i mean, can you imagine anything so enormous as that? and without that noise and without that sort of excitement and everything else, i imagine it is really, really hard for the athletes, psychologically, to get into the zone. i mean, ifeel,

having watched the opening ceremony and watched a bit at the olympics today, that in a way, when you have athletic championships and other events where you just go straight to what is happening on the track of the field or where ever it is all the field or where ever it is all the water, it is much better than this sort of... it is neither one thing or the other. half an opening ceremony which wasn't really. it is better in a way to just get on with it. but i think the athletes are having huge, huge pressure, and for them, you know, they have been training for this for four years, they have had to wait for an extra year, so to cope with this and of course the concerns of whether they get pinged or, you know, contract covid out there, even there are hugely strict rules. but when you look at the way some of them have been training, during lockdown, during the last two years, you just can't do anything but wish them

well, and certainly if i had been there, i would have been cheering adam peaty alone, he is amazing. yes, he is a local boy from the midlands, to myself. it will be interesting to see how many records are broken, nigel, because of lack of stimulation the crowds. i mean, jo has talked _ of stimulation the crowds. i mean, jo has talked about _ of stimulation the crowds. i mean, jo has talked about what _ of stimulation the crowds. i mean, jo has talked about what it - of stimulation the crowds. i mean, jo has talked about what it must i of stimulation the crowds. i mean, | jo has talked about what it must be like adam — jo has talked about what it must be like adam peaty who relied on a crowd _ like adam peaty who relied on a crowd being fair, it must be odd to watch _ crowd being fair, it must be odd to watch these things without crowds. there _ watch these things without crowds. there was — watch these things without crowds. there was something about the euro is, when _ there was something about the euro is, when you — there was something about the euro is, when you sell the wembley crowd, it as a _ is, when you sell the wembley crowd, it as a sort _ is, when you sell the wembley crowd, it as a sort of— is, when you sell the wembley crowd, it as a sort of excitement to the viewer— it as a sort of excitement to the viewer at— it as a sort of excitement to the viewer at home. an not to have a crowd _ viewer at home. an not to have a crowd that — viewer at home. an not to have a crowd thatjust doesn't viewer at home. an not to have a crowd that just doesn't make viewer at home. an not to have a crowd thatjust doesn't make it viewer at home. an not to have a crowd that just doesn't make it feel like a _ crowd that just doesn't make it feel like a real— crowd that just doesn't make it feel like a real event. and that is why i think— like a real event. and that is why i think perhaps the olympics, at least so far. _ think perhaps the olympics, at least so far, haven't really captured the imagination of sports fans in the same _ imagination of sports fans in the same way— imagination of sports fans in the same way that the euro is dead.

that dentists and the british dental association have long awarded against many of the over—the—counter or certain in the online treatments that you can get that claim to give you gleaming white teeth, and you might white —— have gleaming white teeth one day but they might have fallen out by the next morning. so, it is quite a serious story but it is one that one wonders whether people will take notice of, it is a bit like tanning beds, isn't it? people will do it but it could be very dangerous.— people will do it but it could be very dangerous. final thought from ou, very dangerous. final thought from you. nigel- — very dangerous. final thought from you. nigel- l'm _ very dangerous. final thought from you, nigel. i'm not— very dangerous. final thought from you, nigel. i'm not too _ very dangerous. final thought from you, nigel. i'm not too worried - you, nigel. i'm not too worried about the _ you, nigel. i'm not too worried about the teeth _ you, nigel. i'm not too worried about the teeth whitening - you, nigel. i'm not too worried| about the teeth whitening thing you, nigel. i'm not too worried - about the teeth whitening thing but i am about the teeth whitening thing but i am more — about the teeth whitening thing but i am more worried about the fact that so— i am more worried about the fact that so many people haven't seen dentists _ that so many people haven't seen dentists during the pandemic, and i would _ dentists during the pandemic, and i would have — dentists during the pandemic, and i would have thought that comes down to being _ would have thought that comes down to being a _ would have thought that comes down to being a much more serious issue. 0k, to being a much more serious issue. 0k. we _ to being a much more serious issue. 0k. we are — to being a much more serious issue. 0k, we are going to stop there but ok, we are going to stop there but we are back again at 11:30pm. nigel, andjo, we are back again at 11:30pm. nigel, and jo, thank you to you. i am with you at the top of the hour. don't go

away. hello. for some of us, it's been another warm and very sunny day, particularly across parts of scotland, northern ireland, and northern england. this was falkirk earlier on this afternoon. lots of blue skies and sunshine. for others, we started the weekend with thunderstorms, torrential rain and frequent lightning. and all of us will see a change to something cooler and wetter in the week ahead. and it's all down to the jet stream, very active in the atlantic, diving its way down to the south of the uk. that's allowed an area of low pressure to develop and it's this area of low pressure that we're going to keep in the week ahead. so most of us will see some rain, we'll also see quite a big drop in temperature, both by day and by night. in the short term, the focus is on the thunderstorms. we've a met office warning across parts of southern england, including the midlands and south wales through sunday. thunderstorms initially developing across parts of east anglia, south—east england, will work their way gradually westwards through the day into parts of the midlands, maybe into wales,

south—west england. could get one or two across northern ireland and western scotland. by and large, the further north you are, it should be mainly dry, some sunshine, not as hot as it has been across scotland and northern ireland, but still temperatures in the low to mid 20 celsius. and still those thunderstorms going through tomorrow evening, particularly across central, southern and south—eastern england. so here we are to start the new week. our area of low pressure just drifting away slightly to the north and the east, but it will allow a cooler air flow to develop across scotland and northern ireland. and a greater likelihood that we'll see some showers here on monday. still some showers further south across england and wales, perhaps not quite so many across central and southern england. more in the way of sunshine, so temperatures actually rising again here, whereas across scotland and northern ireland, they will be dipping down. that's going to mean some cooler night in the week ahead as well. as we move from monday into tuesday, here's our area of low pressure — this little feature here working its way in from the west, likely to generate some showers. and tuesday is a very messy picture. some showers or longer spells of rain almost anywhere,

perhaps parts of northern england not seeing so many, but nowhere immune from seeing some heavy showers or longer spells of rain on tuesday. and look at those temperatures, back down into the high teens, or low 20s celsius. actually for tuesday and wednesday, what we'll see is more brisker breeze developing, particularly for western areas. could be quite gusty as well and that will continue to feed in these showers across northern ireland, scotland, the north—west of england, into wales and the south—west england. perhaps not quite so many across central southern england on wednesday, but add on the strength of the breeze, more cloud, more showers, it's certainly going to be feeling cooler than it has done, quite significantly, compared to the weekjust gone. so again, temperatures in the high teens, low 20 celsius, round about average for the time of year, but in any sunshine, that will feel pleasantly warm. little change through thursday. again, showers, longer spells of rain, particularly for northern ireland and scotland, and we could see some high accumulations of rainfall as we head towards the end of the week. further south, fewer showers

where we've got the sunshine, temperatures in the low 20 celsius. some much cooler nights in the week ahead, which will be a relief for some. so, for the end of the week and into the weekend, this area of low pressure starts to pull away towards scandinavia. we've still got that cool, north—westerly wind and still some showers in the forecast, but actually, as pressure begins to build, as we head towards next weekend, then we should see something drier, brighter, some spells of sunshine. showers still not out of the question, but certainly for much of next week the theme is showers, longer spells of rain and it'll be feeling cooler, both by day and by night.
