the headlines... there have been calls for calm following an outbreak of fighting in the heart of the lebanese capital, beirut, which left six people dead and dozens injured. the shooting began as supporters of the shia group hezbollah gathered for a protest. a day of mourning has been announced. tributes are being left for the victims of a bow and arrow attack that killed five people. police say they're treating the incident as an act of terrorism. police are investigating taiwan's deadlest blaze in two decades — after 46 people died in a tower block fire. residents were trapped inside their flats on the upper floors. a banksy painting that shredded itself the last time was auctioned has been re—sold for more than ten times its previous value — at a record 25 million dollars.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are torcuil crighton who's westminster editor at the daily record and claire cohen, women's editor at the daily telegraph. the telegraph reports demands for improved pay and conditions by lorry drivers — saying there could be co—ordinated strikes if their demands aren't met. the metro splashes on an offer by boris johnson for temporary visas for 800 eu workers for abbatoirs. the yorkshire post carries the resignation of yorkshire's police commissioner — after comments he made about women's safety. the financial times reports fears of a trade war — if the uk government rejects the eu's latest plans for northern ireland. the guardian says doctors�* leaders

fear many gps could leave the profession as a result of the government's plan to increase face—to—face appointments. the express looks at a study of people who take statins — saying there may be a link with a reduced risk of dying from covid. the daily mail reports comments by the queen apparently criticising a lack of action over climate change. the times leads with fears the chinese leader won't attend the cop26 climate summit. so let's begin. kick us off this time with the guardian, which says the face to plan which is being promoted by sajid javid can actually lead to an exit as of doctors. it sajid javid can actually lead to an exit as of doctors.— sajid javid can actually lead to an exit as of doctors. it could lead to a blood he — exit as of doctors. it could lead to a blood he knows _ exit as of doctors. it could lead to a blood he knows for _ exit as of doctors. it could lead to a blood he knows forjavid - exit as of doctors. it could lead to a blood he knows forjavid as - exit as of doctors. it could lead to | a blood he knows forjavid as well, a blood he knows forjavid as well, on the health sector for a matter of weeks. he is already gone toward all

the medicalfactors. he is picking up on complaints from the press sand from constituents of tory mps about people not being able to see their gps face—to—face after lockdown has endedin gps face—to—face after lockdown has ended in most places. he's promised to pledge 250,000,000 pounds to start this problem in england and in the other nations. but there is a kind of carrot and stick approach where he will give the 250,000,000, but patients will be able to name and shame these gp practices that don't comply and don't confirm and don't give these face—to—face appointments. and that has made doctors serious. doctors are at the end of their tether after lockdown, having administered as they were in my own gp practice the other day hundreds a day of boosterjabs for fluid and coal bed. they say doctors

will leave the industry, you know, the profession already has 2,000 gps short of what they need, and of course, this will lead to more pressure being put on a&e departments and hospitals instead of going to their gps who have already had this week the longest waiting times in a&e and in hospitals since records began, notjust in england but across the uk, and we have had this time and reports, have we, but the government's handling of the pandemic and how disastrous that was. and what's missing from that report is the context for this which is our national health service that's been running hot notjust in the winter but running out of the last decade because there is no real term increase in funding, and it looks like it's going to come to a crunch point now. the

gp practices are expensive to run from expensive to do, massively time—consuming, going infora repeat prescription orjust a chat for a minor ailments, so there was change in the air anyway around the idea that gp practices as well as surgery and everything else would become remote in the nearfuture, but it seems to have banged up hard and become quite the polarised debate now and people demanding are some people demanding face—to—face appointments, place of other people don't want face—to—face appointments. they don't want to run the risk of getting an infection if they go to their gp surgery. so it's become a sharp pull between the profession, the gps and health secretary. profession, the gps and health secreta . ~ ., ., profession, the gps and health secretary-— secretary. what do you think of this? i secretary. what do you think of this? | think _ secretary. what do you think of this? i think he's _ secretary. what do you think of this? i think he's absolutely - secretary. what do you think of. this? i think he's absolutely right that this would've _ this? i think he's absolutely right that this would've happened - this? i think he's absolutely right - that this would've happened anyway, but there _ that this would've happened anyway, but there is_ that this would've happened anyway, but there is no way that we would've seen face—to—face appointments go

consultations, and chris whitty, the chief medical officer speaking at the gps conference in liverpool today said that they never were able criticism from someone you wouldn't take advice from. now i'm sure that was aimed atjournalists, but i wonder if that could've been politicians he was thinking of as well. let's move on to the times. this is a story that may well disappoint the prime minister if it's true that the chinese president to have been an important figure out the climate summit may not have duck neck turn up. i the climate summit may not have duck neck turn urn-— neck turn up. i did think this will disappoint _ neck turn up. i did think this will disappoint the — neck turn up. i did think this will disappoint the prime _ neck turn up. i did think this will disappoint the prime minister. l neck turn up. i did think this will i disappoint the prime minister. it's all starting to disappoint the prime minister. it's all startin: ., ., disappoint the prime minister. it's all startin ., ., ., , , all starting to add to the sense that cop 26 _ all starting to add to the sense that cop 26 is _ all starting to add to the sense that cop 26 is not _ all starting to add to the sense that cop 26 is not going - all starting to add to the sense that cop 26 is not going to - all starting to add to the sense that cop 26 is not going to be i all starting to add to the sense| that cop 26 is not going to be a success— that cop 26 is not going to be a success when it's held in two weeks' time _ success when it's held in two weeks' time. organisers, the story says, fear of— time. organisers, the story says, fear of china want to set new climate — fear of china want to set new climate goal but frankly, they are not the _ climate goal but frankly, they are not the only ones. we have got half of the _ not the only ones. we have got half of the g _ not the only ones. we have got half of the g 20 — not the only ones. we have got half of the g 20 countries with 16 days to go— of the g 20 countries with 16 days to go i_ of the g 20 countries with 16 days to go i think tomorrow until the summit to _ to go i think tomorrow until the summit to have and put forward their plans— summit to have and put forward their plans either — summit to have and put forward their plans either. so it's looking incredibly uncertain what is going

this climate change summit in glasgow in just two weeks' time. china, one of the biggest polluters, one of the biggest play areas, certainly one of the more astute and diplomatic players as well, they know what they are doing by withholding the president from his climate change summit. it means it will stumble more than likely and that the figures are spelled out there correctly spelled out by ed miliband, the labour shadow business secretaryjust miliband, the labour shadow business secretary just this week for us to keep at 1.5, to limit to 1.5 the amount of admissions has to go from 53 gigatons a year to just 25 over the next five years, and we only have commitments just now from the different countries nationally defined contributions, itjust isn't enough. there is a massive gap in glasgow and it doesn't look as if it will be filled. without china there,

how people talked they do about the environment but actually to l action. now the queen is famously an almost constitutionally impartial and is removed from politics, so this is quite a big intervention, albeit she didn't mean to make it and probably didn't need to be overheard, but she follows in the footsteps of prince charles who we know has been campaigning on the environment most of his adult life and her grandson, prince william now as well has made an intervention just yesterday as well.— as well has made an intervention just yesterday as well. yes, famous talk, we remember, _ just yesterday as well. yes, famous talk, we remember, david - just yesterday as well. yes, famous talk, we remember, david cameron caught a note describing the un, the queen as having paired with delight that news that the independent vote for scotland had gone against independence. i for scotland had gone against independence.— for scotland had gone against independence. for scotland had gone against indeendence. ., �* ,, , independence. i don't think she ever foraave independence. i don't think she ever forgave him- — independence. i don't think she ever forgave him. look— independence. i don't think she ever forgave him. look where _ independence. i don't think she ever forgave him. look where he - independence. i don't think she ever forgave him. look where he is- independence. i don't think she ever forgave him. look where he is now | forgave him. look where he is now and look where she is.— forgave him. look where he is now and look where she is. claire, doug green clean. _ and look where she is. claire, doug green clean, it's _ and look where she is. claire, doug green clean, it's a _ and look where she is. claire, doug green clean, it's a great _ and look where she is. claire, doug green clean, it's a great headline. l green clean, it's a great headline. a lot of the player papers have gone with the stapley they have. and they have all been slightly cheeky with their headlines and i i think the

withdrawn from the upcoming kremlin cup in moscow. the 18 year old has only played once since new york, losing in the current indian wells tournament. raducanu said she was looking forward to returning to the tour in a couple of weeks. manchester city forward raheem sterling says he would be open to playing abroad if he does not get more game time at etihad stadium. sterling, whose contract runs out in 2023, has started one premier league game since the opening weekend of the season. he was asked at the ft business of sport us summit if he might one day go elsewhere, and replied, "if there was the opportunity to go somewhere else, i would be open to it." "i have always had something that maybe one day i would love to play abroad and see how i meet that challenge." in the women's champions league, arsenal have bounced back from their defeat by barcelona with a 4—0 thumping of hoffenheim. they were beaten 4—1 by barca last week but were 2—0 up at half time after tobin heath scored herfirst goal for the club following

kim little's penalty. vivianne miedema made it 3—0 before lea williamson completed the thrashing, leaving arsenal second in group c. bournemouth manager scott parker says the club will rally round david brooks following his cancer diagnosis. the 24—year—old has stage 2 hodgkin lymphoma, but revealed "the prognosis is positive". brooks, who has 21 caps for his country, credits the welsh medical team for helping him detect the illness when he was on international duty last week. parker says they'll be giving him all the time and support he needs. the main focus now is supporting brooks and supporting his family and getting him through, which is going to be a tough time, which that is the main planet, now, that is exactly what we are going to do, team—mates, staff, all of us as a football club, we will rally around, get support mechanisms around him, to give him the strength and help him pull through, which will be difficult, like i say.

the ecb have confirmed cricket's county championship will return to two divisions from next season following a vote by the chairs of the 18 first—class counties. 10 counties will compete in division one. 8 in division two, two—up, two—down promotion—and—relegation. the teams will be placed into the division that they had qualified to compete in had the 2020 county championship taken place. this season saw teams initially placed into three groups. the olympic silver medallist sharron davies could be awarded a gold medal, 41 years after the moscow games. she came second in the 400 metres individual medley in 1980 behind east german teenager petra schneider, who has since admitted to doping. swimming's governing body fina is now planning to investigate past drugs problems, such as east germany's programme in the 1970s and 1980s, which ended with the collapse of the communist regime.

in 1989, the wall came down, and there was access to all of the files which proved exactly who was given what, what dosage they were given and how much improvement it meant on on average they could make a 9% improvement for a female athlete which meant that petra would've been 16 seconds behind the if you took 9% off, and they still that absolutely nothing, so it was a huge dark period in sports, which at long last maybe they have decided they would like to do something about. judd trump's bid for a fourth successive northern ireland 0pen remains on track after a four frames to three win overjimmy robertson. the world number one was forced into a decider and robertson missed a crucial yellow and a chance to win the frame, with trump taking advantage, and he now faces home favourite mark allen in the quarterfinals. williams f1 chief executive jost capito says reducing the number of races isn't a realistic way

of making the sport more sustainable. williams are the first f1 team to sign up to the united nations sports for climate action framework and have commited to becoming climate positive — that means removing more carbon from the atmosphere than they are producing — by 2030. capito believes such moves can inspire fans around the world to also make changes to be more environmentally aware. but he disagrees that fewer races would help. i think fewer races is not the solution, we have to have the solution that the grand prix are carbon neutral, and that's as to be the object. neutral, ——and that's as to be the objective. and then reaching the people with every one we reach a lot of people and we can make them aware about our actions, and where the industry is going and where the teams are going, and they are going towards environmentally positive. the route of next year's tour de france has been released and will feature two major time trials, as tadej pogacar aims to win his third consecutive yellow jersey. the race begins with a time trial in copenhagen; the first of three stages in denmark.

it'll pass through northern france and the cobbles of the arenberg forest, before the first summit finish in the jura mountains. from there the tour traverses the alps and the pyrenees. and a 40km time trial on the penultimate stage will decide the yellowjersey, before the traditional finish in paris. what a wonderful race that is, for that and every thing else, you can get everything on our website. and that's all the sport for now. hello. a chilly start to friday across the north of the uk. we've had a cold front gradually working its way southwards through thursday. that's been bringing some outbreaks of rain. and as its name implies, behind it, we've got colder air, so likely to see a touch of frost through parts of northeast scotland and northeast england to start the day on friday. further south, still holding onto this milder air through parts of south wales and into southern england.

and it's here we've still got that frontal zone through friday morning, so cloudier, maybe the odd patch of rain. most of that will have fizzled out. through the afternoon, the cloud should thin and break here. and for all of us, we should see some good spells of sunshine during friday. just more cloud pushing into northern and western scotland through the afternoon. temperatures lower here, just nine or 10 celsius the top temperature. certainly a fresher feel compared to friday. 13 to 15 celsius further south, perhaps 16 across southwest england. but it's a fine end to the day for most, late spells of sunshine before cloud piles in across the north and west of scotland overnight, also into northern ireland and western parts of england and wales too. further east is where we'll have the clearer skies and once again a cold night, particularly for northeast scotland and northeast england, where we could see a few pockets of air frost. but this brief autumnal chill doesn't last for long. as we head into the weekend, we've got further frontal systems approaching from the west. and with those, we'll see a return of the milder air across much of england, wales and northern ireland

on saturday and eventually back up into scotland on sunday. so let's take a closer look at saturday, which overall will be a cloudier day compared to friday. most will be dry, the odd patch of rain, but some rain will arrive into northern ireland as we head into the late afternoon. temperatures starting to recover on saturday, but still a fairly cool feel across the far northeast of england and into scotland. and on sunday, this frontal system will slide its way across and begin to weaken — look what's happening out in the west. but on sunday, we're likely to see some showers, maybe some longer spells of rain. but come the afternoon, looks like the rain will begin to ease and we should see a few spells of sunshine developing. temperatures back up into the mid, if not high teens and starting to feel a little bit less chilly across scotland as well. but as we move into next week, it will be mild, yes, but we're also likely to see some frequent showers or longer spells of rain. goodbye.
