hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow morning. with me are broadcaster and psychotherapist lucy beresford and joe twyman, the director of deltapoll. we'll be hearing from the two of them in a moment. first let me bring you up with the front pages. let's start with the mail. its story is the car explosion outside liverpool women's hospital, killing a passenger and injuring the driver. that story also leads the daily telegraph, which reports three men have been arrested under the terrorism act. the times says the government is expected to announce the covid boosterjab programme will be extended to the under—50s to drive down transmission. according to a report in the i newspaper, number ten will scrap hs2 rail links at leeds, manchester and birmingham,
11:33 pm
undermining arguments over its levelling—up agenda. the ft leads with business groups expressing dismay over the watered—down climate deal, after india and china objected to end the use of coal fossil fuels. the guardian has cop26 president alok sharma say the two countries will have to explainthemselves to poorer nations. will have to explain themselves to poorer nations. and the metro leads with a concerned look of the duchess of cambridge, as the queen cancels her appearance at remembrance sunday due to health issues. right, joe, do you want to kick us off? let's begin with that story in the times. yes, this has been reported, something the government is considering in order to save christmas in effect. the concern is that if this action is not taken, there is the risk — and it is a
11:34 pm
risk, we don't know exactly the details — but there is certainly the risk of that transmissions will increase among the under—50s who have not as yet been part of the booster programme. among those that are eligible, two thirds have taken up are eligible, two thirds have taken up there roosters, un that rises to nearly three quarters. —— boosters. as winter approaches, the transmission of covid will rise among the under—50s if they're not blistered, because the efficacy drops off after six months or two. —— or so. this is seen as the most sensible option by the government. thanks very much. lucy, what do you make of it?— make of it? this possible announcement _ make of it? this possible announcement tomorrow i make of it? this possible - announcement tomorrow comes in make of it? this possible _ announcement tomorrow comes in the same _ announcement tomorrow comes in the same weekend we've seen austria impose _ same weekend we've seen austria impose restrictions on people who

11:38 pm
at the moment. so, what i would say is to anyone who's looking for more information online, be very, very careful about the information you're passing on. even if it claims to be from reliable sources, make sure you listen to what the merseyside police are saying about this because they are saying about this because they are the people who are actually on the ground giving actual information out. everything else is simply speculation and should in most cases be completely ignored. this speculation and should in most cases be completely ignored.— speculation and should in most cases be completely ignored. as we used to sa about be completely ignored. as we used to say about newspapers, _ be completely ignored. as we used to say about newspapers, when - be completely ignored. as we used to say about newspapers, when we - be completely ignored. as we used to say about newspapers, when we usedj say about newspapers, when we used to get our fish and chips wrapped up in newspaper. take us onto the telegraph. johnson admits error over patterson sleaze affair. i don't know whether this has something to do with that bit of

11:40 pm
time as prime minister and his time as london mayor and foreign secretary. but it appears at least in the short term that his government is not immune to this thanks to the events of last week, so perhaps it's an attempt to deal with —— draw a line. the question which will be asked in downing street is, will this last? will this have a long—term impact on the polls? my sense is a probably won't, but there are a number of things coming down the track to deal with the cost of living and the economy. the government must deal with this, and they would want to be much better position than they are at the moment in order to deal with that. lucy, i should moment in order to deal with that. lucy, ishould imagine moment in order to deal with that. lucy, i should imagine that quite a few conservative mps are cursing 0wen patterson and the prime minister because their business arrangements, their accommodation arrangements, their accommodation arrangements might have been a sort of difference to mostjournalists
