10:47 pm
very high cost of the taxpayer so you have a situation where it is only with certain groups. key workers, those who are vulnerable and others who have to pay to get a test. i think you can start to see it's a disease whose changing the virus is no longer what it was a year or so ago. you can see how this change. i think there are still some concern to government then until you get through christmas and into next spring and i don't think anyone will be breathing a sigh of relief that this is over. and that you will want to make sure in those more difficult months of this does not spiral again and get out of control. so i can see how in this piece, the aim is debating and the two different arguments he will be hearing. you wonder when _ arguments he will be hearing. you wonder when a _ arguments he will be hearing. you wonder when a story like this appears in the front of the papers whether it's kind of a bit of a kite flying to see what the reaction is, if it is not you also would not be able to do in the budget next month but if it is not back away a little

10:50 pm
that's it for the papers. james and katy will be back in just over half an hour to look at more of the stories being covered by newspapers and websites here. sport and weather coming up next and i am back with a full summary of the news at 11pm and they are back with me at 11:30 pm. goodbye for now. good evening. i'm austin halewood with your latest sports news. we'll start with football and tonight's world cup qualifiers, where wales remain in third place in group e after an exciting 2—2 draw in the czech republic. it was all going well for rob page's side after stand—in captain aaron ramsey put them ahead in the first half. the lead lasted just two minutes, though, before the czech republic found an equaliser and then went ahead thanks to a bizarre own goal. aaron ramsey with the back pass and a terrible goalkeeping error. but danjames found an equaliser to keep alive their hopes
10:51 pm
of finishing second in the group. meanwhile, fifa has confirmed that england's world cup qualifier against andorra tomorrow will go ahead. that's despite a fire at the estadi nacional this afternoon. parts of the dugouts and commentary gantries were engulfed in flames just hours after the england squad had trained there. you can see, though, there is some damage to the side of the pitch. one of the dugouts had melted, while the video assistant referee monitor had been left burnt. meanwhile, four of gareth southgate's squad have been named on the ballon d'or shortlist. captain harry kane makes the 30—man list, as does chelsea's mason mount. the manchester city pair of phil foden and raheem sterling are also included. almost half of those nominated currently play in the premier league. meanwhile, the england pair
10:52 pm
of ellen white and fran kirby have been named on the shortlist for the women's award. kirby helped chelsea to win the women's super league and was named the pfa and fwa player of the year. there are five chelsea players in total on the shortlist. members of the consortium which took over at newcastle united yesterday after weeks of negotiations, the english cricket board have confirmed this evening that the men's ashes tour of australia will go ahead. the ecb released a statement saying that the players will tour on the basis that "several critical conditions" are met. our senior sports news reporter laura scott has more. as far as we know it, this tour is going ahead. it will start in brisbane on the 8th of december, but, of course, it is subject to these critical conditions being met and we're not entirely sure what those are. but it is interesting that they clearly have enough players that seem happy to go that they are talking about a squad selection,
10:53 pm
but clearly they needed to get some sort of an update today on their position and their point of view from an ecb perspective. now, we're just over 2a hours to go until tyson fury and deontay wilder do battle in the ring for the third time in las vegas. fury will defend his wbc title on saturday night, 20 months on from knocking the american out in their last fight. the fighters have met for the last time at the way and in vegas while deontay wilder came in at 17st and tyson fury was much heavier at 19. the former champion lennox lewis as this might be much closer than the last one. , , ., ., , ., last one. this is going to be a different fight, _ last one. this is going to be a different fight, this _ last one. this is going to be a different fight, this one. - last one. this is going to be a different fight, this one. it. last one. this is going to be a | different fight, this one. it will not be like the second fight where tyson fury came and basically mowed him over. i think they are prepared for that and have worked on different things, especially with his new trainer, malika scott, bringing out different things. whether the untaken do that, do
10:54 pm

10:55 pm
on the court once again. up against the world number 100 at about 2am tomorrow morning, so how would she get on? here is russell fuller. that is the big question _ get on? here is russell fuller. trust is the big question which you may get the first part of the answer to in a few hours' time. because it's very different to the situation she found herself and in new york. yes, she doubt mean innocently with the pressures of the second week of the grand slam as she won the title without dropping a set. but now emma raducanu faces life as a grand slam champion for some other players will be even more determined to be her because she is the reigning us seven champion and even though she wants to continue to play in a similar vein, it is not always quite that easy when you are aware that there are greater expectations on you now that you are notjust are greater expectations on you now that you are not just the are greater expectations on you now that you are notjust the us of a champion, but the 22nd highest rank player in the world. the other change here is it in richardson, a coat to work with her during childhood and was part of that magnificent run in new york through to the us of a title, is no longer
10:56 pm
part of her coaching team. so that is one support pillar that has been removed since the triumph in new york. championship leader lewis hamilton has been handed a ten—place grid penalty for this weekend's turkish grand prix. his mercedes team will fit a new engine in his carfor the race, triggering the penalty. he did have something to cheer about today, though. he was fastest in first and second practice at istanbul park. and that's all the sport for now. have a very goodnight, goodbye. hello again. friday was another very mild day across the whole of the uk, even those places where it stayed cloudy throughout. however, there were some places where the sunshine popped out. northern england was one of the sunnier places. it was also one of the warmest places in the uk. the day's highest temperature — ryhill in west yorkshire, 22 degrees celsius. that's eight degrees celsius higher than the october average, so it was very, very warm indeed.
10:57 pm
now looking at this satellite picture, you can see those areas that had the clearest skies. we've seen some clearing skies across east anglia and south east england behind this cold front because what we're seeing at the moment is cooler and fresher air starting to spread in from the near continent. and that's significant because as humidity levels drop, the clouds will increasingly break up, and that's happening right now across east anglia and the south east. meanwhile, for northern england, wales, south west england, southern and eastern scotland, still a lot of low cloud around, a few spots of drizzle, bit of mist and fog for some. and then there's this band of rain that's really pepping up of the moment. some heavy rain for northern ireland, western scotland bringing a risk of some localised surface water flooding. now, the rain will tend to turn a little lighter and patchier through saturday, and the weather front will finally, after a couple of days, start to move away into parts of the north of england and the north of wales. midlands, east anglia, southern counties of england should be much more in the way of sunny spells compared with recent days, and temperature still pretty high for october, 18—19 degrees. the second half of the weekend sees
10:58 pm
that cold front across northern areas pushing southwards. it's a weakening feature, so there won't be much rain left on it by the time it reaches east anglia and south east england, but there could be an odd patch. for most of the uk on sunday, it's another dry day with plenty of sunshine around. however, there will be a fair few blustery showers across the far north and west of scotland. temperatures easing somewhat across northern areas, but still very warm for the south of england and wales. monday, well, it looks like we'll see another band of rain push its way into scotland, turning increasingly heavy, some fairly gusty winds with this as well. temperatures will be coming down further across northern scotland, just around 11—12 degrees for some here. but for northern ireland, england and wales, still above average, but those temperatures are getting a little bit closer to the seasonal norms. 1a degrees, for example, is about right in london. and eventually we should get down there on tuesday. a lot of dry weather for many into next week.
