a state of emergency has been declared. the last major city in northern afghanistan — mazar—e—sharif — falls to the taliban, as president biden orders 1,000 extra troops to help with evacuations. tributes to the victims, as questions are asked of police about why a shotgun licence was returned to the man who killed five people in the uk's worst mass shooting since 2010. some clinically vulnerable children in england are struggling to get a covid vaccine, nearly four weeks after they were added to the roll—out. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are broadcaster penny smith and political commentatorjo phillips.

we will start with the observer. leading with the crisis in afghanistan, it says that residents in kabul are gripped by fear and desperately searching for escape routes as taliban forces close in on the city. in the telegraph, a former met police chief calls for tighter gun control rules in light of the plymouth shooting on thursday. it includes social media account checks to prevent those with extremist views from having access to firearms. according to the independent, "red wall" areas of england are set to lose up to £1 billion in funding this year due to brexit. that's despite the prime minister's pledge to level up the country. and the mail on sunday reports that the bbc is set to pay about £1.5 million to a charity chosen by the royal family following the martin bashir interview with princess diana. the bbc says it will not comment on the report and kensington palace have also not responded

to the story. wright, jo and penny have been busy reading for the articles. i hope you're ready. let's begin. let's start with the sunday telegraph, and penny, why don't you he cuts off this time, the uk rushing to evacuate its envoy from kabul before i suppose the concern is the taliban close in on the city? the i suppose the concern is the taliban close in on the city?— close in on the city? the problem, of course. — close in on the city? the problem, of course. is _ close in on the city? the problem, of course, is about _ close in on the city? the problem, of course, is about extracting - of course, is about extracting anybody, actually, from kabul if the airport gets overrun, and as i have been, i'm sure all of us, have been following, the speed, of the taliban's approach towards kabul, obviously there is now a rush to get everybody out. including the ambassador, but actually i was thinking, is not about the ambassador but about so many other people, and of course at the moment i can only imagine the chaos, all these people who are coming into

kabul, for example, from places which have been overrun, terrified people who are trained to get out, then of course all the rest of it. you've got... the problem is, you've got to keep the airport secure, with the possibility of the taliban launching, who knows, suicide attacks, attack a plane in the airport, and then meanwhile you've got all these people will been wanting places on those planes. you can only imagine how incredible it is, what a difficult problem this is, the effectuation of all these people. i mean, it isjust one of the most appalling things, and then meanwhile all these terrified civilians, particularly of course the women and girls. find civilians, particularly of course the women and girls.- civilians, particularly of course the women and girls. and jo, it's interesting. _ the women and girls. and jo, it's interesting, because _ the women and girls. and jo, it's interesting, because in _ the women and girls. and jo, it's interesting, because in the - the women and girls. and jo, it's interesting, because in the last l interesting, because in the last week or so, the reports all were of

people rushing to the relative safety of kabul from the other places, the other provinces and regional capitals that the taliban have seized, but now even kabul looks like it might be precarious. it definitely is precarious, bad, and i_ it definitely is precarious, bad, and i think— it definitely is precarious, bad, and i think as penny said, you can only— and i think as penny said, you can only imagine the absolute chaos and the chances of getting out on a flight _ the chances of getting out on a flight unless you were being airlifted out like the british ambassador and other diplomatic and and civilian_ ambassador and other diplomatic and and civilian staff, for the uk and the americans and other embassies. i mean. _ the americans and other embassies. i mean. is _ the americans and other embassies. i mean. isvery— the americans and other embassies. i mean, is very interesting, because this article — mean, is very interesting, because this article in the telegraph, ben wallace — this article in the telegraph, ben wallace the defence secretary actually says, we are watching afghanistan's sliding slowly toward civil wan _ afghanistan's sliding slowly toward civilwar. it afghanistan's sliding slowly toward civil war. it is not slow, and that is this— civil war. it is not slow, and that is this thing _ civil war. it is not slow, and that is this thing that has cut, lords know_ is this thing that has cut, lords know why. _ is this thing that has cut, lords know why, so many people i surprise.

it is know why, so many people i surprise. it is been _ know why, so many people i surprise. it is been a _ know why, so many people i surprise. it is been a matter of weeks the taliban— it is been a matter of weeks the taliban have managed to take control of so many— taliban have managed to take control of so many cities and areas. they now control— of so many cities and areas. they now control nearly all the north of afghanistan. if they could to kabul, that basically takes out the airport. _ that basically takes out the airport, and we know there's a thousand _ airport, and we know there's a thousand miles of border with pakistan _ thousand miles of border with pakistan. we... waiting for troops, allied _ pakistan. we... waiting for troops, allied troops, to move out, so that they could — allied troops, to move out, so that they could move back in. and it can only get— they could move back in. and it can only get worse, unfortunately. i 'ust only get worse, unfortunately. just want only get worse, unfortunately. i just want to move on to the other big story on the sunday telegraph, something it will be on the mind a lot of people come from the last couple of days, and the dreadful situation in plymouth, with the worst mass shooting in the uk since 2010, and thoughts turn to how

can such things be avoided and this idea that you should look at someone's on my messages, and if you detect... that seems sensible. i think they will be very few people who think that is... i was talking to a friend of mine about how he managed to get a licence, a gun licence. she was saying the police come around, they talk to you, they checked that you've got it covered, a proper gun covered, that it is locked, all these things, and they ask you if they can have access to your medical accounts, and i am sure if you say no, there's a red flag goes up, but, yes, to me, it seems eminently sensible. i would you not go through somebody�*s social media accounts? suppose the only thing is that if thatis suppose the only thing is that if that is definitely going to happen, you can imagine somebody, for

example, will go, i mean, i don't understand about the dark web and all that kind of stuff, but did you wonder if you willjust go even deeper and therefore we will not be able to keep tabs on it at all. yes. able to keep tabs on it at all. yes, indeed. jo. _ able to keep tabs on it at all. yes, indeed. jo. i _ able to keep tabs on it at all. yes, indeed. jo, i want _ able to keep tabs on it at all. yes, indeed. jo, i want to _ able to keep tabs on it at all. yes, indeed. jo, i want to get _ able to keep tabs on it at all. yes, indeed. jo, i want to get your - indeed. jo, i want to get your thoughts on this, but i would just show the front page of the observer, because it carries the story as well and highlights the anti—women messages that the unmanned had posted online and online messaging exchanges. —— the gun man. it is really troubling people can see the sort of thing and revel in it. yes. it is absolutely _ sort of thing and revel in it. yes. it is absolutely appalling. - sort of thing and revel in it. yes. it is absolutely appalling. and i think— it is absolutely appalling. and i think there are going to be lots of soul—searching about social media, about _ soul—searching about social media, about the _ soul—searching about social media, about the responsibility of social media _ about the responsibility of social media platforms, about the accessibility. the reports and some of the _ accessibility. the reports and some of the papers that these groups, these _ of the papers that these groups, these in —
