has promised a billion dollars in aid for afghanistan. secretary general antonio guterres says one in three afghans do not know where their next meal is coming from. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, says america's effort to evacuate its citizens from afghanistan �*is still ongoing and has no deadline.�* he said the us was right to withdraw when it did to avoid the risk of more conflict. the uk has become the latest country to recommend covid vaccinations to all children aged 12 to 15. the chief medical officers said it had the potential to avoid disruption to education. israel's prime minister, naftali bennett, has met egypt's president, abdel fattah, al—sisi for talks in the red sea resort of sharm el sheikh. it's the first official visit to egypt by an israeli premier in a decade.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejessica elgot, chief political correspondent at the guardian, and martin bentham, home affairs editor for the evening standard. let's have a look at the front pages. the metro focusses on the news that the government has backed the uk's chief medical officers' advice to offer vaccines to 12 to 15—year—olds. the sun, too, looks at the latest expansion of the uk's vaccine roll—out which will see over—12s offered the pfizer biontech jab from next week. the mirror writes that this vaccine aims to to cut the impact of school closures on young people's mental health. the times also looks at the uk's vaccination roll—out as the prime minister prepares to announces his covid winter plan. the guardian reports that borisjohnson will admit that it will be a difficult second winter coping with the virus

when he confirms boosterjabs for over—50s tomorrow. return of the doom squad — the daily mail also looks at the covid winter plan, saying number ten has refused to rule out another lockdown, saying some measures may be needed "as a last resort". and the telegraph reports that the prime minister's mother, charlotte johnson wahl, has died at the age of 79. charlottejohnson wahl, has died at the age of 79. the paper shows a picture of the two of them together. mrjohnson described her as the "supreme authority" in his family. she was 79. on to ourlook on to our look at the papers, and as we look through them, we will see that vaccinations are the main stories. booster jabs for over 50, and boosterjabs for over 50, and to begin with the i, axing for children to be rolled out. —— vaccines for children. we all got texts saying time to book yourjab. will this

turn up in between religious studies, covidjabs? turn up in between religious studies, covid jabs? we turn up in between religious studies, covid jabs? studies, covid “abs? we don't absolutely — studies, covid jabs? we don't absolutely know. _ studies, covid jabs? we don't absolutely know. medical - absolutely know. medical professionals of some sort will administerjabs. exactly where, i don't think we know. i certainly don't think we know. i certainly don't at this stage. they're going to be invited to have these jabs and it will be up to the parents, and the children will be asked as well. it seems for the older children, if they decide they want it and the parent doesn't think the child is deemed to be competent, i'm assuming when they're 15 or whatever, they will have the final say. but clearly, it's a slightly difficult decision for anyone. i don't think it's exactly clear cut, and the medical advice is very, very finely

balanced. because of the slight risk of side effects for a very small number, versus being the very slight risk of serious compilation from covid —— serious complications. today, the chief medical officer has said you have to take into account other factors such as the impact on children missing schools. that tips the public health balance in favour. but it will be a straightforward for those who are faced with making decisions entirely. i those who are faced with making decisions entirely.— those who are faced with making decisions entirely. i wonder what some of those _ decisions entirely. i wonder what some of those family _ decisions entirely. i wonder what i some of those family conversations will be like when competent children, 14 or 15, we'll get to make their own decisions. yes, and i think this is — make their own decisions. yes, and i think this is something _ make their own decisions. yes, and i think this is something that - make their own decisions. yes, and i

the double vaccine wanes slightly as time goes on. you have the booster just to build up your immunity from the virus. i can see why the government has gone ahead with this, and it will take some time for that to be rolled out. but again, i think most people who had two vaccines, it seems unlikely they will not want to take up the offer of a third booster vaccine. why wouldn't you, really? i was talking to a doctor the other day who said we should begin to think of this not as a two course vaccine, but as a 3—course vaccine, that there will be three vaccines throughout this. i was trying to see whether or not there is that offer of shopping vouchers or anything, but i would imagine that's more for the 14 or 15 years old.—

i was momentarily struck by the netmail�*s headline. expecting a heavy metal band i haven't heard of making a last run forfame. this is the government and scientists at. this is because the winter plan is predicated on getting rid of restrictions and resuming life as normal. but there are all these caveats. even the prospect of a new lockdown, very vaguely, we're told the prime minister doesn't want to have that that possibility still remains there, so that's what the mail is focusing on. those voices, and chris whitty today said the idea we're all... it's not going to be a

challenging winter, people should not recognise the reality. all the same, not very welcome to hear if you want to get on with normal life. i think that's what they're focusing on, and thinking they don't want to see... the mail have been strident campaigners for resuming normal life, but they don't want to see those voices prevailing in the weeks and months to come. and pushing us down the route of renewed restrictions, and although the rhetoric today is all about how we will be getting back, we've been here before. so, i can see why they would take that view. let's look at the daily express, which has a similar story. boris confident covid plan means no return to lockdown. i know this has scare

quotes up around it, and you almost think the actual meaning is 180 degrees the other way.- think the actual meaning is 180 degrees the other way. yes, it is a bit of an ominous _ degrees the other way. yes, it is a bit of an ominous one. _ degrees the other way. yes, it is a bit of an ominous one. we're - bit of an ominous one. we're absolutely confident. this is a slightly— absolutely confident. this is a slightly more cheery headline for the mail— slightly more cheery headline for the mail one. ultimately, boris johnson— the mail one. ultimately, boris johnson will retain the powers to return _ johnson will retain the powers to return us— johnson will retain the powers to return us to lockdown, and there will he _ return us to lockdown, and there will be some talk about repealing various— will be some talk about repealing various powers in the coronavirus act, _ various powers in the coronavirus act, which— various powers in the coronavirus act, which i— various powers in the coronavirus act, which i think is supposed to be throwing _ act, which i think is supposed to be throwing red meat to the tory backbenchers. the public health act, those _ backbenchers. the public health act, those powers aren't going anywhere. borisjohnson, we expect tomorrow, we'll borisjohnson, we expect tomorrow, we'tt say— borisjohnson, we expect tomorrow, we'll say there are tools in the armoury— we'll say there are tools in the armoury that we've got, pertaining to introducing compulsory mask

other knock on effects that that type of restriction has on people's lives. in that balance, at the start, it was all about the nhs being overwhelmed, having catastrophic death rates and so on. now the option is there for people to be double vaccinated and protect themselves against an awful... an awful lot of people have had that. the risk of being struck down by this virus, if you have nothing else wrong with you, is very, very low. so, i think that's the significance of that figure. the balance is to say there aren't so many people who are going to be taking down by this virus, and therefore, the weight should be on trying to get on with living life as normal as possible because of benefits to aspects of

life. that's a different equation now. to what it was through the start of the pandemic. let's move to the guardian now. another story on the front page, and finally, andrew neil quits as the face of gb have you not news. jessica, he onlyjust started. == jessica, he only “ust started. -- gb news. jessica, he only “ust started. -- gb news- he _ jessica, he only 'ust started. -- gb news. the wru— jessica, he onlyjust started. -- gb news. he will probably _ jessica, he onlyjust started. -- gb news. he will probably need - jessica, he onlyjust started. -- gb news. he will probably need to - jessica, he onlyjust started. -- gb| news. he will probably need to turn in a very— news. he will probably need to turn in a very different direction. it's different— in a very different direction. it's different for a news channel, he was the face _ different fora news channel, he was the face of— different for a news channel, he was the face of a — different for a news channel, he was the face of a talent that attracted a lot of— the face of a talent that attracted a lot of good producers and journalists of, and now the main most _ journalists of, and now the main most famous face there is probably nigel—

story. what do you make of her rise? just look at that smile. she looks amazing — just look at that smile. she looks amazing and so happy, and captures the nation, — amazing and so happy, and captures the nation, how they felt when they watched _ the nation, how they felt when they watched her. the fact that she was invited _ watched her. the fact that she was invited to _ watched her. the fact that she was invited to the premiere of the bond film. invited to the premiere of the bond film the _ invited to the premiere of the bond film. the most touching detail is her mother and father haven't been able to— her mother and father haven't been able to travel to see her match. i haven't _ able to travel to see her match. i haven't realised that before. i really — haven't realised that before. i really hope they can cheer her on in the next _ really hope they can cheer her on in the next two. really hope they can cheer her on in the next twe— the next two. they are my topics critics, the next two. they are my topics critics. she _ the next two. they are my topics critics, she says. _ the next two. they are my topics critics, she says. but _ the next two. they are my topics critics, she says. but she - the next two. they are my topics critics, she says. but she has - the next two. they are my topics l critics, she says. but she has them with this one. martin, how are you going to cover this story? endlessly, i think. going to cover this story? endlessly, ithink. laughter of course. — endlessly, ithink. laughter of course. it _ endlessly, ithink. laughter of course, it is— endlessly, ithink. laughter of course, it is such - endlessly, ithink. laughter of course, it is such a - endlessly, ithink. laughter of course, it is such a cheery| endlessly, | think. laughter -

of course, it is such a cheery story because of the reason we just talked about — she seems a very grounded person. on a serious note, that's the danger that all these sweeps are away and distract her from what she's good at, which is playing tennis. i suspect that won't happen. she seems to be very sensible and grounded, but clearly needs to be enjoyed for now, but has to remember and people need to remind her that tennis is what's her this far and what's going to be herfuture. it would be a great shame if that was lost in any shape or form, because we all want to enjoy more of that brilliant tennis and more of that great smile and happiness she's brought. it's a great story and let's hope it continues. it'sjust going to go on and on. there's going to be lots and lots of coverage about all aspects of her life. she

arrives back in southeast london and so on. she does need to be given a little space. so on. she does need to be given a little space-— little space. rather lucky for her that she did _ little space. rather lucky for her that she did her— little space. rather lucky for her that she did her a-levels - little space. rather lucky for her that she did her a-levels in - little space. rather lucky for herj that she did her a-levels in june that she did her a—levels injune and wasn't having to do them in september, because i think now the world is entirely changed. martin and jessica, thank you to you both for your reviews. that's it for the moment. in midnight, it's newsday. that's it for me. good evening. everton came from a goal to beat burnley in tonight's premier league game at goodison park. the win preserves their unbeaten start to the season and puts them level on points with the league's top three. all the goals coming in the second

half, burnley captain ben mee headed his side in front on his 200th appearance. the lead didn't last long, though. good work from andros townsend set up michael keane for the equaliser. townsend scored a beauty to put everton ahead, a curling shot from outside the box, and the win was sealed in a minute later. demarai gray going clear to make it 3—1 to everton, his third of the season. smiles all around as their unbeaten run continues, with everton fourth on goal difference. well, it was a match winning performance from townsend — a player well accustomed to top level football. he was at crystal palace last season and paid credit to his mum, for giving him the motivation to keep performing. she's always working hard on the mental side of the game and always sending me messages. see this person,. she sent me a little compilation of all my goals. she said, "watch this whenever you get it." maybe it worked.

i remind myself to score goals like that. it was a really tough game. champions league holders chelsea turn their attention to this season's competition tomorrow. their first group match is against zenit st petersburg. head coach thomas tuchel says, despite winning the trophy in porto last season, he's putting that win to the back of his mind and focusing on new challenges. it is absolutely necessary to forget it and start from scratch, to show this mentality again, and this is what i feel. this is what i demand from myself and from everybody else around, that if you don't change in terms of hunger, you can create a bond out of it and we can create confidence out of it, but it is about looking up front and taking up challenges which are coming. the start of the group stage also sees manchester united travelling to play swiss champions young boys.

united have only reached the quarterfinals twice in the last ten years. when we go into this tournament now, it's to go all the way. _ we know it will be difficult. always is. but we've added some experience, some quality, some youth, - and hopefully we are better prepared this year. - meanwhile, chelsea's women's team have a tough draw for the group stages of the competition. chelsea were finalists last season and will take onjuventus, wolfsburg, and servette. arsenal play the holders barcelona, and hoffenheim, plus danish side hb koge. it's fair to say emma raducanu will still be on cloud nine after her sensational victory at the us open. she's been basking in the glory of the famous win by taking in some of new york's famous sights. the 18—year—old posted this photograph on social media of her in times square, in front of a billboard of herself. that's a sign of things to come. the young brit beat canada's leyla fernandez in straight sets to become the first ever qualifier

and first british woman for 44 years to win a grand slam singles title. former british number one, sue barker, said the media attention on raducanu would be incredibly intense. she also paid tribute to the 18—year—old's parents, saying the way they had prioritised her education was impressive. money, offers, magazines are going to be on her. but they also have to find time for their tennis. i really like the way the parents have dealt with emma. "focus on your a—levels, the tennis can wait." they seemed to really understand it, and i hope that they will her because emma is going to have photographers outside her door for a long, long time. but we've got to get her time to develop and we've got to protect her because her world is going to hit her like a sledgehammer. i don't think she realises what's coming her way. and on the men's side of the draw, daniil medvedev says he's incredibly happy after winning his first grand slam title. the russian number two seed beat novak djokovic in straight sets

in the men's final to end the world number one's hopes of taking the calendar slam. djokovic had won this year's three other major tournaments, but looked completely lost at times, particularly when he was on the way to losing the second set. so, medvedev completed an emphatic victory to win his first grand slam, and he said he thinks it could be a turning point for the new generation. two years, i think we started to get closer— two years, i think we started to get closer to _ two years, i think we started to get closer to the big three. that's normal. and i'm really happy that i think i gave more confidence by doing this in the final because nobody did this before. i think it can be one more turning point. finally, in case you haven't seen it, here's why the all—ireland women's t20 cup semifinal between bready and csni has gone viral. and it was because play was briefly stopped when a four—legged pitch invaderfancied playing a bit of throw and catch! oh, the dog has the ball! laughter

play resumed after the brief interruption, with bready winning via the duckworth—lewis—stern method. that is impressive fielding, i have to say. and that's all the sport for now. we'll see you soon. hello there. this upcoming week is looking pretty changeable. we've started off with a bit of sunshine around and some warmth. today, though, it looks decidedly wet or looks decidedly wet for parts of england and wales in particular. and midweek, a ridge of high pressure will settle things down, we should see some good spells of sunshine before more rain arrives for friday and a new low pressure moves in off the atlantic. now we've got a complicated area of weather fronts moving northward across the country — this first one bringing light and patch year rain across parts of scotland in northern england, but it's this batch of rain across parts of central, southern, and eastern england which will be quite heavy with some localised floating in places, maybe some rumbles of thunder as it continues to journey its way north eastwards.

but i think we should start to see skies brightening up in northern ireland, wales, southwest, and the sunshine comes out and could set off a few heavy showers. but disappointing temperatures where we have the cloud and rain, otherwise highs of around 19 or 20 degrees in the warmest spots. that ring for there's a way into the north sea. could see a few showers, and this very weak weather front pushing into the northwest of scotland. temperatures just into single figures. otherwise, whether tivoli mild. —— a relatively mild. we have this ridge of high pressure building in which we'll settle things down. could be quite a bit of mist and fog to start the morning, but into the afternoon, plenty of sunshine around. wednesday looks like being the murky us to start to the day, still a few showers thanks to that area of low pressure and maybe the chance of showers pushing to western scotland. highs of around

20 to 21 degrees, otherwise high teens for most. thursday, it promises a largely dry day. looks like being the sunniest day of the week. we start to see wind increasing outbreaks of rain across the far northwest. top temperature is 22, may 23 degrees. will change for friday, bring a band of rain. it will tend to weaken as it pushes eastwards. behind it, we see sunshine and showers, and temperatures a little bit lower on friday because there will be more of a breeze and cloud.
