hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster daisy mcandrew and whitehall editor for the financial times and author of broken heartlands, sebastian payne. joined by sparky the dog. have you got a pet, sebastian?— joined by sparky the dog. have you got a pet, sebastian? know, 'ust my books innat— got a pet, sebastian? know, 'ust my books if that counts. * got a pet, sebastian? know, 'ust my books if that counts. that'll _ got a pet, sebastian? know, just my books if that counts. that'll do. - books if that counts. that'll do. we're not _ books if that counts. that'll do. we're not as — books if that counts. that'll do. we're not as keen, _ books if that counts. that'll do. we're not as keen, but - books if that counts. that'll do. | we're not as keen, but anyway, welcome. i'mjust we're not as keen, but anyway, welcome. i'm just being honest. the times says demand for foreign holidays is expected to reach its highest level this weekend since the start of the pandemic after the price of travel was dramatically cut as the government threw out the requirment for an expensive pcr test. the traffic light system is being replaced with a simpler "go/no—go" regime with far less coronavirus testing.
10:32 pm
the daily mail says demand for october half—term trips was three times higher than in august as firms slashed prices following the announcement. the i says travel is being unlocked. eight countries are to be taken off the red list including turkey, pakistan, the maldives, egypt and kenya. in another story, the telegraph says russia has been accused of hiking gas prices in an attempt to undermine britain and the eu's economic recovery from the covid—19 pandemic. the ft says the government is now scrambling to respond to the surge in natural gas prices that has forced the closure of fertiliser plants, driven up consumer energy costs and is threatening the supply of products from meat to steel. and the sun says strictly come dancing has been thrown in to "crisis" as two pro—dancers on the show refuse thrown into "crisis" as two pro—dancers on the show refuse to get the covid vaccine jab. strictly no vaccine, it said. our producerjoe said it should be no jab, nojive. we might do that
10:33 pm
later. let's have a start with the daily mail, sub. the great autumn holiday stampede, when you couldn't go away —— seb. the early part of the winter mightjust bearfruit. -- seb. the early part of the winter mightjust bear fruit.— mightjust bear fruit. yes, this announcement _ mightjust bear fruit. yes, this announcement that _ mightjust bear fruit. yes, this announcement that holidays . might just bear fruit. yes, this - announcement that holidays would be much easier from october the 4th, rejoiced by families who those pc archest you have to do when you return —— pcr tests. places like turkey that are popular holiday destinations, and the whole thing is being simplified. the focus on all this is about vaccination and non—vaccination, so if you are vaccinated, it's much easier to travel. this is all part of the government strategy to get vaccinated, particularly younger people. but i think it's great for
10:34 pm
families because if you do have to do all these tests, that's adding, and that's going to go. demand for holidays have soared on this announcement, and i'm sure people will be dashing to get away. easing international travel, this week, we have the winter plan from boris johnson's government, what to do if things get tricky in terms of working from home, wearing facemasks and vaccine test —— passports. i think this is great for people who want a change of scene. the arguments _ want a change of scene. the arguments put _ want a change of scene. the arguments put forward by some people that this divides us. even though it is a choice for many people as to whether they do not the jab. i is a choice for many people as to whether they do not the jab. whether they do not the 'ab. i think that's whether they do not the 'ab. i think ms right. — whether they do not the 'ab. i think ms right. but h whether they do not the 'ab. i think that's right, but back_ whether they do not the 'ab. i think that's right, but back to _ whether they do not the jab. i think that's right, but back to seb's -

10:37 pm
for the last year. you had this very vigorous testing regime. the first element is the lateral flow tests when you fly. where you take a test with you or talk to a doctor, they watch you take the test, and you get fit to fly. the idea is to make sure you're not circulating covid. two days after you come back, you have those pcr tests, and that's more to do with the uk's genomic sequencing. that is the thing that government is most worried about because the delta strains made this much more complicated. but that's the thing that worries people in the department of health — that a new variant may emerge or get brought into the uk. someone criticised
10:38 pm
them, saying how will this affect our ability to prevent new variants? even though different efficacy from differentjabs, they are all very good at stopping serious illness, stopping coronavirus being passed on. that is a game changers and i think the challenge is saying thank heavens you'll finally catch up with the vaccine reality we've got to. let's look at the financial times. meets suppliers in particular, in short supply. indeed, the as particular, in short supply. indeed, the gas prices have _ particular, in short supply. indeed, the gas prices have been _ particular, in short supply. indeed, the gas prices have been taking - particular, in short supply. indeed, the gas prices have been taking up| particular, in short supply. indeed, l the gas prices have been taking up a lot, and this is raising some eyebrows within government. inflation has been rising at the highest level in quite a few years, well above the bank of england's 2%.
10:39 pm
this story has raised fears as well. i think energy bills are probably going to soar this autumn and the business secretary has started an energy resilient unit to make sure gas suppliers are able to continue and flow throughout the winter. there's also factors involved. the telegraph accused russia of manipulating prices, which is something i think the west will watch very carefully. but in the west, we've gone from this move away from covid, and that means when it comes to the winter, you are more reliant on gas. if that supply is tampered with, that does leave you quite vulnerable. the telegraph headline, russia accused of rigging gas prices. the suggestion they're trying to scupper

10:45 pm
been difficult at the moment, and i know eltonjohn was about to embark on his farewell tour. that was delayed two years due to his health issues, but i think that you thing eltonjohn has always argued it's not about him an artist, it's about younger artists because he can put on a big tour and invest all the money to travel across europe, but smaller bands can't. they don't have the infrastructure. popping in a van, driving across europe and building their reputation. but i just think we've got a new culture sectary who. .. just think we've got a new culture sectary who... and this is because british music is one of our strongest soft palate cards. it feels like we're shooting ourselves in the foot by not solving this.
