11:31 pm
hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are are the broadcaster and psychotherapist lucy beresford, and deputy political editor at the daily express, sam lister. hello to both of you again, thanks so much for staying with us this evening, it's lovely to see you. tomorrow's front pages, starting with the metro — it leads with "countdown to net zero" as the government unveils its plan to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, promising grants for electric cars and low carbon heat pumps. the guardian carries the warning of experts and campaigners that criticise the government's net zero strategy, saying that it falls short on ambition and is not adequately funded. according to the i, the government's covid—19 scientific advisers are now meeting monthly
11:32 pm
instead of weekly, the paper asks and in the ft, european commisison president ursula von der leyen tells the eu parliament that poland will be "punished" for its challenge to eu law. it comes after a court ruling in warsaw found eu law incompatible with the polish constitution. let us begin. and let us start, lucy, with the daily mail, as we did in the last hour, because i've got a striking front—page here. i'm delighted to say our graphics are now working, we can see the front pages properly this time. they are saying that the bill could hit more than a trillion — but there is a labor— conservative row about how much the government are spending on
11:33 pm
this, labour saying they should be spending much more? the this, labour saying they should be spending much more?— this, labour saying they should be spending much more? the two key words in this _ spending much more? the two key words in this are _ spending much more? the two key words in this are trillion, _ spending much more? the two key words in this are trillion, because l words in this are trillion, because thatis words in this are trillion, because that is such a big figure, and gamble because there's still so much unknown. 0ne gamble because there's still so much unknown. one of the reasons we don't know how much it will cost is because we don't know what technological advancements will happen over the next eight or nine years, which could actually make things more affordable — electric cars or gas boilers, or the key pumps that will replace gas boilers. but it is a gamble because everybody recognises that we need to do something to rescue the planet, and borisjohnson will be the host, perhaps the world saving host of top 26 in less than two weeks' time. —— copp 26. but the cost of achieving a zero will be so enormous, and that'll run him into collision, partly with the treasury who are
11:34 pm
insisting that they won't pay for any of this through borrowing, it has to come through taxation, and the treasury will lose out on a lot of funding — for example, the fewer fuel duty that is taken in, the less fuel duty that is taken in, the less fuel duty. there is, the less money sloshing around to be spent — but also voters, they might actually baulk at the idea of dipping into their pocket to actually fund some of this. so there is a study that came out in the mail on sunday this weekend, which asked people, "would you buy an electric vehicle by 2030?" and 73% said they wouldn't. so at the moment there's a lot of resistance. so at the moment there's a lot of resistance-— resistance. just to ask you both - if ou resistance. just to ask you both - if you don't _ resistance. just to ask you both - if you don't already _ resistance. just to ask you both - if you don't already have - resistance. just to ask you both - if you don't already have an - if you don't already have an electric car, would you buy one? and
11:35 pm
would you put a heat pump in your house that they didn't have them? the problem with the electric vehicle is the range of the charging points around the country. until you get that infrastructure right, there's more expenditure that needs to come across, people will be very resistant to trading in their very reliable car that they know and love for something that is much more theoretical. we human beings are very bad at conceptualising abstract ideas. ~ ., , ., ., very bad at conceptualising abstract ideas. , ., ., , , ideas. would you put a heat pump in? auain, it ideas. would you put a heat pump in? again. it rather— ideas. would you put a heat pump in? again, it rather depends _ ideas. would you put a heat pump in? again, it rather depends on _ ideas. would you put a heat pump in? again, it rather depends on how- ideas. would you put a heat pump in? again, it rather depends on how much it costs. in my pocket, and want to know whether what i'm doing at the moment, and this is where the government needs to get its messaging sorting out, if i knew at the end of my payment that i would actually be saving money through a heat pump, then i would probably be more inclined to do it. but that's not the way the government is presenting this today. let not the way the government is presenting this today.- not the way the government is presenting this today. let me bring in sam - quick— presenting this today. let me bring in sam - quick question _ presenting this today. let me bring

11:40 pm
already said in addition to taxes, because it'll be businesses as well that'll probably end up paying some of these taxes, that'll have an application for some of the goods that we buy or services we pay for. so we could get hit in a number of multiple ways, and there is this huge question mark as to how we will be hit. that level of uncertainty, humans don't do that very well, it needs to play out for another couple years before we get more clarity. it'll be another interesting fortnight. moving on to the express — "boosterjabs plea to keep britons say." a lot of the papers are actually focusing on the rising numbers here, and whether schoolchildren and other groups have been given the jabs quickly enough. i think this is more about trying to

11:43 pm
vaccine booster yet. not in the same way as it was at the beginning of the year when everyone got terribly excited when they got called for a vaccine, and everyone was swapping stories about when they were going to have it take place. it seems to be a lot more flat—footed — and that's worrying because fundamentally, the population are worried about future lockdowns, particularly to do with new variants, and we already know there's a potential son of delta floating around. people are much less worried about christmas being affected, strangely enough, but much more worried about the potential for lockdowns. so if the vaccine roll—out is stalling, it's not so much that we aren't taking up as vaccines, is that we are not being invited to take those vaccines. mr; invited to take those vaccines. my parents have had their booster, and a lot of other papers are picking up on the whole question of 12— a lot of other papers are picking up on the whole question of i2— 15 —year—olds. let's move onto the and another story linked to our overall health and wellbeing. but "assisted

good evening. this is the latest from the bbc sports centre. well, what treat we had this evening in the champions league. goals galore, as manchester city stuck five past a hapless bruges in belgium. and liverpool edged a thriller in spain, to get revenge on atletico madrid. andy swiss was watching. so who's for a champions league thriller? well, liverpool and atletico madrid were, as liverpool raced into a 2—0 lead. a shot from mo sala that took a hefty deflection, and one from naby keita that certainly didn't. there's the shot! atletico aren't spanish champions for nothing, and back they roared, two goals from antoine griezmann — 2—2 at the break. and after it, the drama continued. a high boot, and griezmann was sent off. and when liverpool were later reported a penalty, salah cooly made it 3—2. then atletico were given a penalty — only for the referee to consult the video and change his mind. victory for liverpool in about the most eventful way possible.
11:52 pm
earlier, there had been a mancunian masterclass as city blazed past bruges. foden's pinpoint pass picking out cancelo with impressive results. and it's tapped out brilliantly! that, though, was just the start as, after extending their lead from the penalty spot, city crews clear after the break — courtesy of kyle walker and then 19—year—old cole palmer, just moments after coming on as a sub. how's that for an entrance? and, although bruges pulled one back, mahrez rounded things off in suitably thumping style. 5—1 to city, and some statement. andy swiss, bbc news. celtic picked up their first points in the europa league this season by beating ferencvaros 2—0. the game was held much earlier than usual due to policing pressures. celtic also required their fans to have covid passports to enter the stadium and carried out random spot checks. on the pitch, it took almost an hour before the deadlock was broken at celtic park, with portuguese midfielderjota setting upjapan forward kyogo.

were relieved it wasn't more. so they attacked with the bat — didn't work. you're joking! whose hand grabbed that catch? ritchie barrington's. scotland took five quick wickets, but then they played a defiant ending. it kept things on the edge. until, to his fury, they deflected the ball for the wicket. in the end, 140 all—out. "148 all —— 148 all out. scotland's record, 100%. joe wilson, bbc news. well, if scotland beat oman on thursday, they'll go through as group winners. that's because bangladesh beat the tournament co—hosts this evening. they set oman a total of 154 and went on to win by 26 runs. uk anti—doping allowed british cycling to drug test its own riders in a private laboratory — that's according to an investigation by the world anti—doping agency. in 2011, british cycling staff broke rules by using a non—wada—accredited laboratory to screen for nandrolone, a prohibited substance. the investigation confirmed "potential wrongdoing by individuals in both british cycling and ukad".

but they won't face punishment, as those involved are no longer employed by either organisation. and andy murray recorded another top—50 win, as he won his opening match at the european open in antwerp against frances tiafoe. the pair went toe—for—toe in the first, as the brit took the first set on a tie—break. the second set went to another tie—break, with the american coming out on top this time. an epic final set saw both players save match points, but the brit dug deep and took the win after three hours and 45 minutes. murray will next face second—seed diego schwartzman on thursday. and that's all the sport for now. still very balmy out there for some of us for a late october night. 15—16 celsius, and wednesday promises to be another mild day. quite breezy and lots of showers

in the forecast, too. our tropical air arrived a couple of days ago, it's still with us, it was very warm yesterday in the south—southeast, 21 celsius — we won't quite get that today, but i want to show you the origins of this current of air, so this is the north atlantic and it's all very warm air across the atlantic, and here we have the caribbean. so this is where the air has come from — it's obviously cooled, but it's still pretty balmy over this part of europe. now this is what it looks like early in the morning — there is some rain around, a wet start to the day in east anglia and the southeast, lots of heavy showers approaching cornwall, devon, parts of wales, too. in fact, these are heavy, thundershowers — and through the morning and into the afternoon, they could bring gusts of wind, as well, but some sunny spells, so quite a changeable day for england and wales. but for northern ireland and most of scotland, it should be dry and bright — but notice in the northwest highlands here, somewhat weather come the afternoon.

so i say mild again, 18 celsius expected in the southeast and east anglia. now into the week, or thursday onwards, it'll turn quite a bit colder — in fact, a reversal in the wind direction is expected wednesday into thursday. in fact, around this area of low pressure, the winds will start to come in from the north. now right now at this moment, the winds are coming in from the south or southwest. on thursday, they're coming in almost from the north — this is arctic air, in fact, some of the showers across scotland could be wintry, the winds will be strong anyway particularly along the north sea coast, touching gailforce. i mean, gusts inland will be around 40mph or so, so it'll feel relatively cold compared to what we've got right now. and these are the temperatures, the high temperatures on thursday — 11—13 in the south, single figures in the north, and once again, wintry showers are possible across the mountains of scotland. now thursday night into friday, the wind dies down as the low pressure pulls away, and in fact a high pressure develops across the uk briefly in what we call a ridge of high pressure.
11:59 pm
there'll be some sunshine around, as well, but it won't go quite so cold on friday because the winds will be light, still only around 13 celsius. bye— bye.
