there have been pledges to help the afghan people at a virtual summit of 620 leaders, but many have stressed this doesn't mean recognising the taliban. the uk's initial response to the covid pandemic was one of the worst national public health failures ever, according to a report by mps. the british government minister responsible for overseeing brexit has proposed replacing the deal signed with the european union over northern ireland with an entirely new protocol. the protocol aims to prevent a hard border on the island of ireland while safeguarding the eu's single market. a us coroner has concluded that gabby petito, who went missing while travelling across country with her boyfriend, died from strangulation. police are still searching for her boyfriend and are appealing for information on his whereabouts.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are broadcaster david davies and rachel watson, deputy political editor at the scottish daily mail. let me bring you up to did with the front pages we have so far this evening. —— up to date. the metro leads on the commons joint select committees�* report into the covid response, and it cites an interview in which cabinet office minister steve barclay refused 20 times to apologise for pandemic mistakes. the telegraph says the eu is to offer a new brexit deal on northern ireland trade, making concessions over checks on british goods. that story is also the lead in the guardian, which reports that the eu is offering an "olive branch" despite french concerns about the move. the i newspaper splashes on congestion at felixstowe, saying supply chain issues have caused a build—up of containers, threatening christmas deliveries.

there's a striking picture of that situation on the ft front page, showing shipping containers piled high. but the ft�*s lead is about the uk economy's recovery from the pandemic. the imf is warning it will be harder hit than other g7 nations. the times also leads with the problems at felixstowe, saying ships are being turned away. there's a warning of possible gaps on the shelves at christmas, given the number of toys usually imported through the port. the express also goes for the northern ireland story, saying minister lord frost has told the european union to ease brexit rules. it is one of several papers to feature a picture of the queen, seen at a major public event for the first time grasping a walking stick

— she was on a visit to us mr abiy. let's delve into the papers straightaway. —— westminster abbey. do you want to kick us off with the metro? ~ , ., . ., metro? when you reflect on the selectivity report, _ metro? when you reflect on the selectivity report, it _ metro? when you reflect on the selectivity report, it is - metro? when you reflect on the selectivity report, it is a - metro? when you reflect on the| selectivity report, it is a warning to the government, this government, of what is to come when there is a full public inquiry, because today's report was described as a damning indictment by sir keir starmer. perhaps you would expect them to say that, but in so many ways, the worst public health experience in most people's lifetime — that is quite a damning indictment, is it not? and it remains to be seen where the blame lies. for sure, the blame game has started, but government ministers don't like saying sorry

ever, because that admits weakness and things that were wrong, and they will fall back, i am sure, as stephen barclay did today, of saying, let's wait and see what the full public inquiry comes... what conclusion it comes to the so we shall see. conclusion it comes to the so we shall see-— shall see. rachel, the art of the olitical shall see. rachel, the art of the political apology _ shall see. rachel, the art of the political apology is, _ shall see. rachel, the art of the political apology is, one - shall see. rachel, the art of the political apology is, one could i political apology is, one could write a book on it, and probably someone has or is about to, because it is often an apology that when you... presumably what a lot of families wanted, not so much an apology but a voice in this process. yeah, i think as david said there, as we _ yeah, i think as david said there, as we move — yeah, i think as david said there, as we move onto other inquiries across_ as we move onto other inquiries across country to how governments handle — across country to how governments handle this, i think families and those _ handle this, i think families and those people who are most impacted by the _ those people who are most impacted by the pandemic will want a voice in this and _ by the pandemic will want a voice in this and will— by the pandemic will want a voice in this and will hopefully be given a voice _ this and will hopefully be given a voice in — this and will hopefully be given a voice in this. i know it scotland

christmas, they are playing with fire, and the other observation i would make is a future inquiry, and be certain there will be another inquiry into the shortages, will ask, how much warning did the government have of these sort of problems? were they forewarned months ago, some people in the port of felixstowe evidently are saying they were? 0r of felixstowe evidently are saying they were? or is this something that has come from nowhere? it is they were? or is this something that has come from nowhere?— has come from nowhere? it is a very aood has come from nowhere? it is a very good question. _ has come from nowhere? it is a very good question, that. _ has come from nowhere? it is a very good question, that. let's _ has come from nowhere? it is a very good question, that. let's move - has come from nowhere? it is a very good question, that. let's move on, j good question, that. let's move on, david, to a story that i think we will be doing quite a lot on on the news channel tomorrow, featured on the front of the independent. this is lord frost's demand that the northern ireland trade protocol be ripped up and they start again. well, i posed the question and hour ago or so. you have to ask, why was

it ended disaster in this independent article, it ended disaster in this independentarticle, lord it ended disaster in this independent article, lord frost demanded leaders effectively tear up the northern ireland protocol... claimed the block was attempting to encourage uk political forces claimed the block was attempting to encourage uk politicalforces to reverse the referendum result, or this keep us closely aligned with the eu. i don't think anybody at the moment seriously believes we are going to have another referendum or we are going to reverse the referendum result, and it is still unclear to some of us why, if this protocol is such nonsense, wasn't such nonsense, and was particularly such nonsense, and was particularly such nonsense, and was particularly such nonsense, lord frost... ithink he says he was under great duress,

he thought there was an understanding that, yes, it will say this on paper, but the reality is we won't be running any checks or the lightest of checks. there won't be any disruption of the border. we don't want that anymore than you do, we have to find... is he being naive? i we have to find... is he being naive? ~ ., , ., ., naive? i think anything not on -a er, naive? i think anything not on paper. that — naive? i think anything not on paper, that is... _ naive? i think anything not on paper, that is... if _ naive? i think anything not on paper, that is... if it - naive? i think anything not on paper, that is... if it is - naive? i think anything not on paper, that is... if it is not. paper, that is... if it is not on paperm _ paper, that is... if it is not on paper- - -_ paper, that is... if it is not on - paper. . ._ something paper... does not exist. something that had been. _ paper... does not exist. something that had been, hard _ paper... does not exist. something that had been, hard negotiations. l paper... does not exist. something l that had been, hard negotiations. we all lived _ that had been, hard negotiations. we all lived through this and reported, had to— all lived through this and reported, had to report, and it was very long, it was— had to report, and it was very long, it was dragged on for a long time, it was dragged on for a long time, it was— it was dragged on for a long time, it was difficult to get through, so i it was difficult to get through, so i find _ it was difficult to get through, so i find it— it was difficult to get through, so i find it difficult to imagine a situation _ i find it difficult to imagine a situation where there was some unspoken— situation where there was some unspoken agreement here that was not on paper~ _ unspoken agreement here that was not on paper. what is interesting is that deo — on paper. what is interesting is that deq has obviously been briefing a lot of— that deq has obviously been briefing a lot of papers on what it plans to say and _ a lot of papers on what it plans to say and set — a lot of papers on what it plans to say and set out tomorrow, and as you

on the pitch, there was a penalty for hungary given for this challenge by luke shaw. the height of the foot was enough. and england were behind. commentator: and it's - an unexpected turn of events! well, after the plain sailing of their qualifying, now they had to respond. reaction from john stones, 1—1 at half—time. stones came close to winning it. england's draw will require analysis. what happened in the crowd will, say the fa, be investigated. 200 miles north of home, scotland and their followers knew the reputation of the faroe islands. population of 50,000, almost 1—0 up here. thank you, craig gordon in goal. scotland's position, all their optimism demanded a win. there were four minutes left. there was lyndon dykes. one goal was as good as ten. qualifying ambition sustained. northern ireland's focus lies

it's a busy few months for england's cricketers. the white ball squad are in oman, hoping to add the t20 title to the 50 over world cup. but with the ashes on the horizon too, all rounder chrisjordan says there's no danger of the players becoming distracted. the ashes quite a big event as well, and it's quite unique circumstances as to what is going on around it. so the talk and all the dissecting of it is pretty normal in this day and age. but i can firmly say that me and everyone involved in the squad here is fully focused on the task at hand. now to snooker, where three—time defending championjudd trump has eased into the second round of the northern ireland open without his opponent scoring a point. trump won all fourframes against china's gao yang, who couldn't get a footing at the table in belfast, and the englishman will now play another chinese player, lu ning, for a place in the last 16. olympic and european champion katie archibald will headline a 19—strong gb squad at the upcoming

but for many places, extensive cloud was the main weather feature, spilling down from the northwest, thick enough at times to produce some spots of rain and drizzle. and wednesday is looking like a very similar day. it will be mostly but not completely dry, often but not completely cloudy. where the cloud has broken, it is going to be quite a chilly start to the day, but most areas beginning with a lot of cloud, some mist and murk, some spots of rain and drizzle. now, through the day, i am hopeful that cloud will break a little bit. eastern scotland should see some sunny spells. parts of northern ireland, england and wales will see the cloud thinning and breaking to reveal some brighter interludes. top temperatures between ill and 17 degrees, light winds down towards the south, but it will be quite easy further north. through wednesday night into thursday, this cloud continues to feed in with some mist and hill fog, some spots of rain and temperatures of 9 to 11 degrees. some more persistent rain, though, beginning to develop in the north of scotland, and that's the first sign of a change.

this weather front dropping into the picture during thursday will bring some outbreaks of rain southwards across scotland, that rain particularly heavy and persistent in the northwest highlands, some of that rain getting into northern ireland later in the day accompanied by a strong wind and a wind that will change direction and will start to come down from the north, bringing the first hint of some colder air into northern scotland. further south, england and wales mainly dry, often cloudy. once again, 16 or 17 degrees. but as we move through thursday night into friday, that weather front will make progress southwards. you can tell from the blue triangles that this is a cold front. that means it is introducing colder air, the blue shades spreading southwards across the chart for friday. across the northern half of the uk, friday is likely to begin with a touch of frost, and it certainly will feel chillier. but what the front is also doing is it's clearing a lot of the cloud away, so there will be more

in the way of sunshine. 15 or 16 degrees down towards the south, but further north — look at that — just 9 in aberdeen. but that colder spell won't last all that long. milder conditions will return from the west during the weekend. with that, we'll start to see some outbreaks of rain.
