hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are annabel denham, director of communications for the institute of economic affairs, and the broadcasterjohn stapleton. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... a real mix of stories on tomorrow's front pages. the guardian focuses on worries that a new nuclear submarine deal between britain, the us and australia could ratchet up tensions with china. it says officials in the uk and us are now working to deal with an international backlash to the pact. claims in the financial times tomorrow that the chancellor is going to set out new rules around government borrowing in next month's budget. the paper says rishi sunak will commit to stop borrowing to fund day—to—day spending within three years.
10:32 pm
the i claims that the government will approve the use of genetically—engineered crops in the uk, breaking away from eu rules. the paper claims trials are to get started in hertforshire, with the aim of getting products onto supermarket shelves within five years. priti patel is demanding "decisive action" from police against climate protestors. that's according to the telegraph. it says the home secretary was responding to campaign group blockades on the m25 earlier this week. the metro splashes on the story of alleged racist abuse directed at bbc sport presenter, gavin ramjaun, on twitter. it claims the social media firm told him abusive comments posted online didn't violate its rules, when he complained to them. plenty of papers to discuss. the ft begins with the headline, "china attacks cold war mentality." when i was based in china, a hotline
10:33 pm
was set up between the us and china. we all got very excited about that and talked about what would happen. it was about the mentality of... this comes back as the us and the uk, potentially setting themselves up. uk, potentially setting themselves u -. ~ uk, potentially setting themselves u, . , , ~' uk, potentially setting themselves u . _ . , , ~' ., , up. well, yes, i think the mentality is really interesting. _ up. well, yes, i think the mentality is really interesting. i _ up. well, yes, i think the mentality is really interesting. i think - up. well, yes, i think the mentality is really interesting. i think there . is really interesting. i think there was hope among the west that as china developed from a developing country to a developed nation as soon as it opened up and traded with the rest of the world, some of the attitudes might change. it seemed it's taking an increase in the
10:34 pm
aggressive stance. i think this has left the west with no choice but to form these sorts of strategic alliances to a divert our attention to this tilt. it's a delicate game that needs to be played. i think it's right that we need to see a goal that the you cast —— eight us and uk... carrya big stick. ithink that's the message we're trying to send here. we are trying to tread delicately. i think we're going to hear a little more analysis at a lot of debate about whether we are on
10:35 pm
the cusp of a new cold war. i'm not so sure, and i think you know the current approach isn't working. we need a new way of engaging with china. but at the moment, it'sjust very uncertain. this deal has called his problem with our relationship with france, possibly new zealand as well. it will be interesting to see how this unfolds. i’m well. it will be interesting to see how this unfolds.— well. it will be interesting to see how this unfolds. i'm beginning to lose count of _ how this unfolds. i'm beginning to lose count of all _ how this unfolds. i'm beginning to lose count of all the _ how this unfolds. i'm beginning to lose count of all the cold - how this unfolds. i'm beginning to lose count of all the cold wars. - lose count of all the cold wars. we've got another one with russia, the old one finished but may be coming back. let's begin the guardian newspaper.

10:41 pm
going overseas. you would have to spend 150 on all of the pcr tests. of course, going overseas, you have that hanging over you. administrative logistical challenges that you need to jump through. i think you will have lots of relieved brits looking forward to the next time they go overseas. not least parents, because it looks like this will come in in time for half term when the schools break up and a lot of people will want to be able to go overseas who haven't been able to do so. there was a line that stuck out
10:42 pm
for me in that article, which was that potentially, the unvaccinated will face tougher rules. it will be interesting to see the backlash that comes off the back of this because already, we've had notjust anti—vaxxers, but staunchly libertarian disposition who have been fighting back against opening up been fighting back against opening up the vaccines to 12 to is—year—olds, who have been staunchly opposed to vaccine passports, which now appeared to be put on the isa least. anyway, this is a positive trend, but it will be interesting to see what happens to those who haven't been double jabbed and what the rules will be for them.

10:45 pm
been constrained from embracing innovation. gene editing and precision farming. all these sorts of things that can bring down costs to farmers and falls to consumers. post—brexit, it will be interesting to see what the opportunities are and which opportunities we're able to seize. farmers believe they can get new altered food within five years. does that tempt you? hot altered food within five years. does that tempt you?— that tempt you? not necessarily. it's not a subject _ that tempt you? not necessarily. it's not a subject i've _ that tempt you? not necessarily. it's not a subject i've studied - that tempt you? not necessarily. it's not a subject i've studied in l it's not a subject i've studied in great _ it's not a subject i've studied in great detail. i gather these crops will be _ great detail. i gather these crops will be more nutritious and resistant. we don't perhaps no enough — resistant. we don't perhaps no enough about the consequences. i need _ enough about the consequences. i need to— enough about the consequences. i need to know a lot more before i -ive need to know a lot more before i give up _ need to know a lot more before i give up my— need to know a lot more before i give up my regulars.— need to know a lot more before i give up my regulars. we're going to look at two — give up my regulars. we're going to look at two papers _ give up my regulars. we're going to look at two papers with _
