a brazilian senate committee has recommend charging president bolsanaro for crimes against humanity over his handling of the covid crisis. mr bolsonaro has dismissed the findings saying he's guilty of nothing. the uk health secretary has warned that covid restrictions might be reintroduced in england if not enough people get vaccinated. sajid javid said infections might rise to 100,000 a day, but rejected calls for immediate contingency measures — the so—called plan b. russia is trying to combat a steep rise in the number of coronavirus cases by ordering people to go on one week's paid leave. the country earlier announced yet another record number of covid deaths. and in a statement to the house of commons on wednesday evening, the uk home secretary has said the security threat level to mps is now deemed substantial. it follows the killing of an mp last friday _

we've stayed up just to give you a second look at the papers coming to us on thursday morning. with me are rachel cuncliffe, deputy 0nline editor at the new statesman, and joe twyman, co—founder and director of the public opinion consultancy deltapoll. tomorrow's front pages, we've got a few more in since we've last spoken. the financial times leads with this afternoon's news conference by the health secretary, sajid javid — the headline is, "act now or expect return to covid curbs this winter." the express quotes mrjavid, "we can't blow it now" as he unveiled the government has ordered stocks of two new antiviral drugs to help combat covid this winter. the guardian leads with covid infection rates, with ministers warning they could hit a record of 100,000 cases a day in the coming weeks. in other news, the times says the uk is in talks with ukraine to sell the country missiles, amid concerns russia

could exploit the gas crisis. according to the telegraph, shoppers could be hit with a "meat tax", as a price hike on high—carbon foods is modelled for the government. and the sun has the news that the queen has "reluctantly" cancelled a trip to northern ireland after receiving medical advice from doctors. keep calm, ma'am, it says. let's begin. joe, do you want to kick us off this time. 7 the ft�*s headline is accompanied by a photograph of jenny harris, and sajid javid the health secretary was one of —— and one of the graphics. health secretary was one of -- and one of the graphics.— one of the graphics. that's right, man of one of the graphics. that's right, many of the _ one of the graphics. that's right, many of the front _ one of the graphics. that's right, many of the front pages - one of the graphics. that's right, many of the front pages tonight l one of the graphics. that's right, i many of the front pages tonight are dominated by coverage of sajid javid's press conference — the first time there's been a covid press conference in five weeks. and with infection rates were rising, heading

towards 50,000 a day and warnings they could hit 100,000 a day, it's perhaps not a surprise that we are seeing the government make a statement. if you had to some that statement. if you had to some that statement up, it would be making it clear that we aren't out of the woods yet, that the british government should guard against complacency, if they can keep wearing masks and well ventilated areas —— british public. by the government will not be moving to plan b, despite assertions from various medical experts that this should be done sooner rather than later. consistently the british public has erred on the side of caution when it comes to their approach on covid, and the government has often been criticised for being too late with its moves and not moving far enough. i imagine and not moving far enough. i imagine an attempt to address the ahead of half term for many schools next week and cut 26, but it remains to be

seen whether this will have an impact on the infection rates desktop 26 wassup although this time around, the link between death rates, hospitalisation has been greatly did that reduced. that's the ft. greatly did that reduced. that's the ft, let's greatly did that reduced. that's the ft. let's move _ greatly did that reduced. that's the ft, let's move on _ greatly did that reduced. that's the ft, let's move on to _ greatly did that reduced. that's the ft, let's move on to the _ greatly did that reduced. that's the ft, let's move on to the daily - greatly did that reduced. that's the ft, let's move on to the daily withl ft, let's move on to the daily with its take on the story — this is some good news which comes with a caveat, this miracle bill has yet to be approved by the uk regulator —— daily mail. approved by the uk regulator -- dail mail. , approved by the uk regulator -- daily mail-— daily mail. this is the daily mail cominu daily mail. this is the daily mail coming through _ daily mail. this is the daily mail coming through the _ daily mail. this is the daily mail coming through the details - daily mail. this is the daily mail coming through the details and| coming through the details and finding — coming through the details and finding one of the few pieces of positive — finding one of the few pieces of positive good news, which is that the uk _ positive good news, which is that the uk has — positive good news, which is that the uk has ordered 730,000 doses of this new_ the uk has ordered 730,000 doses of this new antiviral treatment that's been _ this new antiviral treatment that's been specifically designed for covid to prevent people who test positive from developing the condition is such_ from developing the condition is such that — from developing the condition is such that they end up in the hospitai _ such that they end up in the hospital. which is good news, and it's also_ hospital. which is good news, and it's also with remembering that a

significant increase in people having their drinks spiked — mainly women, but not all — in nightclubs and clubs in the last four or five years, and annually there is a spike in the autumn as universities go back furtherfirst term. in the autumn as universities go back further first term. so it's a terrible state of affairs which the story is highlighting a much wider issue any difficult situation for women in this country. . it’s women in this country. . it's worrying _ women in this country. . it's worrying because _ women in this country. . it's worrying because presumably one of the problems here is that quite often, the victims of these assaults won't know enough to be able to even register aid, won't know enough to be able to even registeraid, go won't know enough to be able to even register aid, go to a hospital and be checked out, but then go to police — because as she said in an interview she did with the bbc earlier, she has no recollection of that night. at one point, she is

speaking perfectly coherently, the neck she can barely string words together. she knows what being drunk at a party is like — this is in it, and subsequently she finds a job point in her skin. —— this isn't it and wakes up in hospital. the distressing — and wakes up in hospital. the distressing part _ and wakes up in hospital. the distressing part of the story is that the — distressing part of the story is that the crime makes the victims by their nature — that the crime makes the victims by their nature unreliable witnesses, because _ their nature unreliable witnesses, because they can't remember what's happened _ because they can't remember what's happened to them because they've been drugged with a substance and they don't— been drugged with a substance and they don't know what that is, and they don't know what that is, and the circumstances what led up to that - _ the circumstances what led up to that — which is incredibly distressing and also a policing and public— distressing and also a policing and public health challenge if we don't know _ public health challenge if we don't know what's going on. i would second the slight _ know what's going on. i would second the slight caution that joe mentioned, which is that these are very shocking reports but, as of yet. _ very shocking reports but, as of vet. we — very shocking reports but, as of yet, we don't know how common this is a hand. _ yet, we don't know how common this is a hand. in— yet, we don't know how common this is a hand, in terms of the logistics of it, _ is a hand, in terms of the logistics of it. it _ is a hand, in terms of the logistics of it, it seems unlikely that it would be _ of it, it seems unlikely that it would be particularly widespread for

what a big it potentially is. it seems to have become timely because we've had the acting chief constable in somerset talking about exactly this as one of a number of issues that need to be addressed, particularly issues in which women are disproportionately the victims. if you know somebody is doing this, they may think it's a laugh, but please call them out. let's move onto the story at the top the times, "britain in talks to sell missiles, and first arms deal with ukraine. these cost each made by british manufacturers, it's being sold to the ukraine. there is a suggestion with the _ the ukraine. there is a suggestion with the current gas crisis that russia — with the current gas crisis that russia may try to take advantage of that in— russia may try to take advantage of that in some form. so russia may try to take advantage of that in some form.— that in some form. so britain is hoinu that in some form. so britain is heping to _ that in some form. so britain is heping to supplv _ that in some form. so britain is hoping to supply arms - that in some form. so britain is hoping to supply arms to - that in some form. so britain is hoping to supply arms to the i hoping to supply arms to the ukrainians — exactly how that'll be

hoping to achieve. the sugar tax was intended to boost the health of the nation. and while these changes will hopefully increase the health of british people, that's not really the main aim. the main aim is to cut the main aim. the main aim is to cut the carbon footprint that the meat industry creates in this country. so by taxing meet at various different stages, that will be decided later. upon when exactly takes place, you could reduce the amount produced. but i agree it would seem more obvious that processed like processed meats and meals using low—quality processed meats would be the better thing for the country as a whole. in terms of public health. is there anything that public opinion surveys have indicated towards public attitudes towards taxation and how it should be used? most people would say they are in

good evening, i'm chetan pathak with your sports news. we start tonight in the champions league — where the holders chelsea thrashed swedish side malmo, and cristiano ronaldo scored the winner as manchester united came from 2—0 down to beat atalanta in a thrilling game at old trafford. 0ur sports correspondent joe wilson was watching. another big european night... the manager may say he's impervious to negativity, but 0le gunnar solskjaer�*s not made of norwegian wood. he knows the expectation at manchester united. he knows that when atalanta from italy found a way to go so quickly... and they're ahead! ..it would increase the scrutiny on him. but he does not defend. he's not there to compete in the air when a corner comes in. good corner, it's 2—0! yep, this was happening. any ideas? bad to worse for manchester united. this pass from bruno

with the temperatures we had at the start of the week, when we were getting daytime highs in the high teens, even the low—20s. and it will feel all the more cold because we'll pick up a keen northerly wind. the cold air plunging in behind this weather front, sinking south overnight. ahead of it, some heavy rain which pull off into the continent. and then, through thursday daytime, we open the floodgates for cold air to sweep all the way south through the uk. we'll start the day with some cloud and rain to the south, the weather front pulling away, making way for lots of sunshine come the afternoon — but there will be some showers to the northwest, and they will be wintry across the hills and mountains of scotland. the wind a notable feature, gales possible down the north sea coast. these are the temperatures that you'd see on the thermometer — but, factor in the wind, those temperatures along the north sea coast will feel more like 4—5 celsius. we continue with showers streaming into the north and west as we move overnight thursday and into friday. quite a chilly night, as well —

into a more atlantic airstream. sunday, greater chance of some showers just about anywhere across the uk — sheltered eastern areas favoured for the driest and brightest weather. temperatures possibly up to 15—16 to the south.
