the national guard have been called up to help with major rescue efforts on the east coast of the united states. at least a0 people have died as a result of flooding caused by remnants of hurricane ida. president biden has joined leading politicians in new york state in blaming global warming for the intense rainfall. new york city's mayor, bill de blasio said the brutality of the weather was the biggest of wake—up calls. an alleged member of the carious isis group dubbed the beetle because of the british accent have just been pled guilty. they've been charged with conspiring to torture and behead hostages in syria. and, one of the most successful pop groups of all time, abba, are reforming. the swedish superstars have revealed their first new song in forty years and will perform as holograms in concerts in london from may.

abba is back and so are we. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejoanna jarjue, tv and radio commentator and anne ashworth, property & personal finance commentator. tomorrow's front pages...starting with... the telegraph says it expects boris johnson to announce a manifesto—breaking tax rise next week to pay for the biggest overhaul in social care funding in a generation and bring down nhs waiting lists. the times�* understanding on this is that borisjohnson�*s cabinet is split over the chancellor, sajid javid, calling for a 2% tax rise to fund social care. "vaccines for i2—year—olds are a step close" reports the i, which quotes a government source saying us evidence shows the risks to young people is smaller

than previously thought. below the independent�*s main picture headline of floods in new york claiming dozens of lives is a warning from uk charities that there is no housing accommodation available for 6,000 afghan refugees in britain. the guardian picks up on this with its headline the "west has no coherent plan for an afghan refugee disaster". the ft carries a warning from british gas owner, centrica, of soaring prices for uk households and businesses caused by global supply issues. "1.6 millionjobs go begging" is how the metro headlines the number of unfilled jobs amongst a range of sectors including care homes and hgv transport. the paper says the coronavirus pandemic and brexit are being blamed. and "my, my... look who's bjorn again" is the mail's take on abba's revival. below its main story that people who kidnap dogs will be sentenced for upto seven year's jail under new laws to be introduced. so let's begin... abba becca's avatars we for the

moment are real. we will look at the metro. 1.66 millionjobs go begging. and ashworth, why can't the vacancies be filled? we and ashworth, why can't the vacancies be filled? we have eight massive skills _ vacancies be filled? we have eight massive skills mismatch. - vacancies be filled? we have eight massive skills mismatch. there i vacancies be filled? we have eight| massive skills mismatch. there are about one point six million currently unemployed which is lower than we thought it might be. however there are equivalent number ofjobs that are free but we don't have people with the right qualifications to drive and we don't necessarily have people want to take up roles in the social care industry. which were largely for yield by eastern europe pms who went home as a result of brexit. it's a massive problem facing the government. and maybe a time for us to rethink these skills that we think our children should have and the careers they should follow. we had a massive push to

send a great deal of people to university. i wonder if there is a lot of people now wondering if they would rather be a plumber or an hd be driver or do something, have a trade. there's a great many things we are going to have to rethink in the coming years. one of them is, does your education give you the skills you need for the jobs that are available in the economy? joanna, does it?— are available in the economy? joanna, does it? probably not. i thinkthat _ joanna, does it? probably not. i thinkthat this— joanna, does it? probably not. i think that this is _ joanna, does it? probably not. i think that this is an _ joanna, does it? probably not. i think that this is an issue - joanna, does it? probably not. i think that this is an issue that i joanna, does it? probably not. i. think that this is an issue that we should _ think that this is an issue that we should have been thinking about yesterday as in like years ago. we can't _ yesterday as in like years ago. we can't hide — yesterday as in like years ago. we can't hide away from the fact that this is_ can't hide away from the fact that this is aiso— can't hide away from the fact that this is also a brexit issue as well as a _ this is also a brexit issue as well as a pandemic issue. i think that with— as a pandemic issue. i think that with a _ as a pandemic issue. i think that with a lot — as a pandemic issue. i think that with a lot of— as a pandemic issue. i think that with a lot of things that happened to the _ with a lot of things that happened to the pandemic especially with the pandemic— to the pandemic especially with the pandemic the hev drivers that have been scarce, that of left the shelves _ been scarce, that of left the shelves empty for weeks on end has focused _ shelves empty for weeks on end has focused very much on coronavirus and

blamed _ focused very much on coronavirus and blamed it _ focused very much on coronavirus and blamed it on — focused very much on coronavirus and blamed it on that. i think that that has been — blamed it on that. i think that that has been quite a big disguise for the government on the massive impact of brexit _ the government on the massive impact of brexit. the food shortages and food supply being disrupted is one thing _ food supply being disrupted is one thing. and that might be wanting that is— thing. and that might be wanting that is a — thing. and that might be wanting that is a short—term issue but one of the _ that is a short—term issue but one of the bigger issues with this is the social— of the bigger issues with this is the social care industry and have a fit of _ the social care industry and have a fit of an— the social care industry and have a fit of an impact that has. obviously coronavirus — fit of an impact that has. obviously coronavirus has made an impact on that _ coronavirus has made an impact on that i_ coronavirus has made an impact on that ithink— coronavirus has made an impact on that. i think a lot of people in that— that. i think a lot of people in that sector are leaving because the covid _ that sector are leaving because the covid jab _ that sector are leaving because the covid jab as well and obviously being — covid jab as well and obviously being forced to take that. but i think— being forced to take that. but i think that this is a crisis that government should have thought of before _ government should have thought of before brexit and should also be thinking — before brexit and should also be thinking about now.— before brexit and should also be thinking about now. talking about those big struct _ thinking about now. talking about those big struct -year-old - thinking about now. talking about those big struct -year-old issues| those big struct —year—old issues you mentioned including two papers. the first of all the daily telegraph. —— structural. headline what appears to be cyber soldiers but are actually abba members. 0n

the left tax rise for 25 million to pay for social care. keep that in your mind as we look at the next paper, the times which has its own take on that particular story on the front page. next you again those cyber soldiers. javid calls for 2% tax rise to fund social care. cabinets lead over national insurance increase. what is your reading of this?— insurance increase. what is your reading of this? well i think we can aet reading of this? well i think we can get together _ reading of this? well i think we can get together national _ reading of this? well i think we can get together national insurance - get together national insurance increase was of national insurance is the income tax. it is paid by workers however not by those who are retired. which means that the times tells us that about five cabinet ministers object to this increase whether we have an increase of 2% as what javid wants or 1% or whether we have an increase of 2% as whatjavid wants or 1% or 1.25%. because they say as younger workers shouldering the burden for the

elderly. however, for the first time ever we are going to be made to pay more tax for a special fund which doesn't usually happen in our economy was up and it's very interesting that rishi sunak thinks a 1% increase would be enough to flood the massive gap in social care and also fund the great backlog of treatment that's needed in the nhs. javid wants to present. what does this say perhaps about the political ambitions of those two gentlemen? does rishi sunak not want to be remembered as the guy who put up taxes by that much? may be jazz it to my javid is taxes by that much? may be jazz it to myjavid is cooler about taxes by that much? may be jazz it to my javid is cooler about that. but whatever happens this is going against what is promised in the moment of pesto where they said quite clearly there wouldn't be a tax increase.— quite clearly there wouldn't be a tax increase. there is a paragraph that sa s tax increase. there is a paragraph that says the _ tax increase. there is a paragraph that says the tax _ tax increase. there is a paragraph that says the tax rise _ tax increase. there is a paragraph that says the tax rise could - that says the tax rise could be referred to as the health and social care premium. would people look at that and think, well that's ok i'm

willing to contribute to that? i willing to contribute to that? i think there's an element of that ticket _ think there's an element of that ticket happen. i think that as a country— ticket happen. i think that as a country we do care about social care quite _ country we do care about social care quite a _ country we do care about social care quite a lot — country we do care about social care quite a lot. we care about nhs. i think— quite a lot. we care about nhs. i think that — quite a lot. we care about nhs. i think that with the pandemic everybody is massively bracing themselves for the massive rises in taxes _ themselves for the massive rises in taxes and _ themselves for the massive rises in taxes and whatever the repercussions a-ain taxes and whatever the repercussions again to _ taxes and whatever the repercussions again to be _ taxes and whatever the repercussions again to be over the next couple of years _ again to be over the next couple of years as _ again to be over the next couple of years as a — again to be over the next couple of years. as a 27—year—old it does worry— years. as a 27—year—old it does worry me — years. as a 27—year—old it does worry me for— years. as a 27—year—old it does worry me for the future. because i khow— worry me for the future. because i know that — worry me for the future. because i know that it— worry me for the future. because i know that it isn't something that's going _ know that it isn't something that's going to _ know that it isn't something that's going to be resolved overnight. but at the _ going to be resolved overnight. but at the end — going to be resolved overnight. but at the end of the day it is what needs— at the end of the day it is what needs to — at the end of the day it is what needs to be done after the pandemic. everybody— needs to be done after the pandemic. everybody now, especially when you look everybody now, especially when you took at _ everybody now, especially when you look at furlough and the amount of people _ look at furlough and the amount of people that have been on that i think— people that have been on that i think everybody is really anticipating the worst. but picking up anticipating the worst. but picking up on _ anticipating the worst. but picking up on ann's point, i think it's really— up on ann's point, i think it's really interesting that javid is pushing — really interesting that javid is pushing for this 2%. i think it tinks— pushing for this 2%. i think it links massively to his legacy now that he _ links massively to his legacy now that he is— links massively to his legacy now that he is health secretary rather than chancellor. because he has a lot of— than chancellor. because he has a lot of mess — than chancellor. because he has a lot of mess to clear up with social

the former cabinet secretary was in ambassador to afghanistan so it knows he speaks. he depicts this extraordinary mass where we've got huge numbers of people trying to cross the borders, many as half a million likely to be displaced. the terrorism and the general disruption that's going to ensue. it doesn't seem as if there is a plan for that doesn't seem to have taken account of the fact that we will exploit this position to give plenty of money to finance afghanistan the rest will be shut out from that. this has taken everybody by surprise. i think that the politicians in america and britain are going to bejudged very harshly for it. it is going to be a very big problem. i think what we need to really focus on is just exactly what

china's plans are for afghanistan. they are considerable and because afghanistan has the kind of mineral rights that everybody wants it now, they got lithium there which we need for batteries for electric cars. and they will step into the place of the west. and britain to be able to reach an accommodation with china so we are not entirely excluded from the resolution of the situation. china and afghanistan also share a border. a very narrow border but they do. let's continue to talk about afghan refugees with the times newspaper. afghan refugees to be taught about british culture. managers want to when newcomers are given hundreds of hours of language lesson, civic training and culture passes for museums and galleries. is that a good model to emulate? i

that a good model to emulate? i think to an extent it is a good modei — think to an extent it is a good model. but i always have a problem with the _ model. but i always have a problem with the teaching of civil duties or what _ with the teaching of civil duties or what is _ with the teaching of civil duties or what is britishness? especially obviously we know there are various tests _ obviously we know there are various tests you _ obviously we know there are various tests you now have to do for a british— tests you now have to do for a british citizenship and passports. what _ british citizenship and passports. what i _ british citizenship and passports. what i find is that a lot of time is wasted _ what i find is that a lot of time is wasted on — what i find is that a lot of time is wasted on things like that when realistically a lot of people were born here — realistically a lot of people were born here don't note those same things— born here don't note those same things that are taught it from school— things that are taught it from school from being in nursery. so sometimes _ school from being in nursery. so sometimes i feel as if it's a bit of a counterproductive thing. i do think— a counterproductive thing. i do think that _ a counterproductive thing. i do think that it's useful that the language classes that they could potentially be having, i think that definitely will help. but i feel as if there — definitely will help. but i feel as if there should be more focus on vocatiohai— if there should be more focus on vocational skills, for example are changing — vocational skills, for example are changing careers for people. so that they can _ changing careers for people. so that they can contribute to the economy rather— they can contribute to the economy rather than — they can contribute to the economy rather than teaching essentially what _ rather than teaching essentially what is — rather than teaching essentially what is britishness? when realistically most british people wouldn't be able to answer most of

and we can expect that to feed bills also the owner of british gas centric and says. we think yet another pressure on inflation inflation. which is some things we can be grappling with of the next few months. inflation is something we are just not used to. in this country 30 years ago it was very very high. it's been benign all most sense. but it's yet another challenge that's coming down the road. it could be very awkward for the government. i do road. it could be very awkward for the government.— the government. i do vaguely remember — the government. i do vaguely remember that _ the government. i do vaguely remember that period. - the government. i do vaguely remember that period. let'sl the government. i do vaguely - remember that period. let's look then at the daily mail. it is an interesting story here which a number of papers have picked up. not the tron re—enactment but this was up the tron re—enactment but this was up seven years jailfor the tron re—enactment but this was up seven years jail for dog numbers. after thefts of pets almost tripled during lockdown. this is a real story, joanna.

doing during lockdown. will this new potential sentence stop at market? i should hope so. i feel a bit like should hope so. ifeel a bit like joanna, how was it a crime that wasn't punished? i don't have a pet but people are tremendously attached to their household pets. to their dogsin to their household pets. to their dogs in particular. if we have a trade in stolen animals carrying out what other kind of theft is accompanying that was that most people will be very pleased to hear that there is a clamp down. and people, pets are very expensive, people, pets are very expensive, people lavished them with care. i think they should be entitled to think they should be entitled to think that people will be facing some punishment for doing so. 70 years present, absolutely. will put a few people off a great many people in this country and we still a

they are back together and thank you for the music, guys. they are back together and thank you forthe music, guys. i they are back together and thank you for the music, guys.— for the music, guys. i wish they were themselves. _ for the music, guys. i wish they were themselves. i'm - for the music, guys. i wish they were themselves. i'm just - for the music, guys. i wish they - were themselves. i'm just wondering how it works in the concert when you have the holograms out there. you can't shout out what you want is your favourite song because they can't hear you. but nevertheless you sort of hope, i know they've done to new songs, you sort of hope they just start with waterloo and work their way through. perhaps they can sort of change close as you go to match their hologram. and and joanna it's been a pleasure speaking to you both. thank you so much. that's it now for the papers. good night. good night. good evening, i'm austin halewood with your latest sports news. england's footballers were.

racially abused in budapest and i. it comes after uas i had ordered hungry to play games behind closed doors because of their fans being found guilty of discriminatory behaviour during euro 2020. but because his was a fifa match fans were allowed in. the euros they have been qualified but so far been plain sailing. hungary represented a tough proposition both on and off the pitch. with no england fans allowed to travel the 60,000 strong crowd was hostile. and after homophobic sunak homophobia and racism from hungarians during the euros please not to boo england fell on deaf ears. england players aren't strangers to hostility from even their own fans. but after an uneventful first half their first goal saw the atmosphere switch.

sterling was pelted with plastic cups for his troubles. kane then doubled england's lead and it was clear some parts of the crowd weren't bothered by the threat of more ua for sanctions. by now the missile throwing was becoming all too frequent. but the intimidation wasn't working. the crowd had turned from hostile to disgraceful. england's fourth goal was the least they deserved as he took a giant stride towards qatar. but this will be a game remembered yet again for all the wrong reasons. northern ireland were also in action and they boosted their hopes of a play—off place in group c with a 4—1win over lithuania. daniel ballard opened the scoring at windsor park before goals from conor washington, shayne lavery and paddy mcnair. that's their first win of qualifying — they stay third in the table, six points behind leaders italy, but know that a win over switzerland on wednesday would see them go second. staying with football...

manchester united have announced that cristiano ronaldo will once again wear the club's number 7 shirt this season — just as he did during his first spell at old trafford. he takes the numberfrom edison cavani, who'll wear 21 instead. ronaldo scored twice last night for portugal, but he's suspended for their next game and as a result has been released from international duty. he'll have to complete 5 days' isolation when he travels to the uk, before playing in the premier league. united face newcastle a week on saturday. now to cricket and it was a dramatic first day of the fourth test between england and india at the oval. england had bowled out the visitors cheaply again forjust a 191. but after losing the key wicket of captainjoe root late on, england finished the day on 53—3, with the match in the balance, as adam wild reports. ringing in the days play now the sound of the oval test.

for all the modernisation cricket remains a game of tradition. the morning rendition ofjerusalem is one. jimmy anderson opening the england bowling has become another. but for all the familiarity this is a series of fluctuating fortunes. no more so than for chris woakes. a year out of test cricket here, announcing his return. when anderson dismissed cheteshvar pujara before lunch india was struggling. kohli made it to 50 but having been dropped once england wouldn't let him go again. but such is the series now wildly unpredictable india like england are as beatable as they can be brilliant. in a display of batting belligerence shardul thakur gave them something to cling onto. even if others let it slip too quickly. india all out forjust 191. the day seemingly belonging to england. all their batsmen had to do was see it out. instead they began getting themselves out. first rory burns then hameed.

the good work beginning to unravel. amidst the turmoil captainjoe root this summer has remained a constant. now ranked the best batsman in the world. his wicked when it fell greeted with due delightful england 53-3. just about on top but nothing here is certain. emma raducanu's year keeps getting better — she's through to the third round of the us open on her debut in the tournament. she beat china's zhang shaui in straight sets. the 18 year old broke twice in the opener to take it 6—2, playing some really aggresive and confident tennis from the start, and she wrapped up the victory with a 6—4 second set win — much to the delight of the flushing meadows' crowd on court 10. she'll face spain's sara sorribes—tormo on saturday, for a place in the fourth round.

there were 4 gold medals for great britain on day 9 of the paralympics in tokyo — with history made and records broken. paralympics gb stay second in the medals table. well javelin thrower dan pembroke set a new paralympic and european record on a brilliant games debut. he threw 69.52 metres in the f13 final. bethany firth won gold in the pool in the s—14100 metres, for the third games in a row. 0n the track, there was more success for ben watson, who won his second gold in tokyo with a brilliant victory over team—mate fin graham in the men's c1—3 road race. and dame sarah storey won her 17th gold to become britain's most successful pa ralympian. victory in the c4—5 roadrace saw her ride into the history books. what an incredible story that is. and that is all your support for now. have a very good night.

things are quite different but in the short—term rat ending the week on a similar note with this area of high pressure bringing in a lot of clout across the uk. with limited clear spells. there will be a few glimmers of brightness around particularly western scotland but generally a cloudy start. into the afternoon favourite spots are sunshine developing more widely will be again across scotland, parts of north island and also southern england perhaps in towards south wales was that this is where we will see the highest temperatures below 12 220 celsius with the other was wheeled into the crowd around midnight wins the most as we head through friday night it looks like it's going to be another cloudy wand. mainly across central and northern areas with that we hold onto clear spells cause us salve for the temperature was no lower than 10-14 c. the temperature was no lower than 10—14 c. were starting to report our wins from a north—south easterly direction to start the weekend as
