hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are geri scott, political correspondent at the press association, and benedicte paviot, uk correspondent for france 24. welcome to both of you, lovely to see you both again. the daily mail reports on has a story about an anti—vax group that it says has picketed over 100 schools. the ft is leading with austria, which will become the first country in europe set to make coronavirus jabs mandatory. the daily telegraph's main story is that under new plans to tackle cross—channel migration, asylum seekers will have to obey strict rules at new holding centres or face having their applications rejection. the mirror splashes on the news that convicted child killer

colin pitchfork has been sent back to jail after breaching the terms of his release. according to the daily express, britons are determined to spread the christmas cheer with an £85 billion shopping bonanza. and the guardian is about tories "fuelling racism" by rejecting multiculturalism. finally the times says borisjohnson has demanded a fix to the record number of migrants making the journey across the channel. let's begin with the ft. "austria set to make jabs mandatory." it’s a set to make “abs mandatory." it's a re set to make jabs mandatory." it's a pretty drastic _ set to make jabs mandatory." it's a pretty drastic step, _ set to make jabs mandatory." it's a pretty drastic step, but _ set to make jabs mandatory." it's a pretty drastic step, but we've - set to make jabs mandatory." it�*s —. pretty drastic step, but we've heard borisjohnson pretty drastic step, but we've heard boris johnson warned pretty drastic step, but we've heard borisjohnson warned that pretty drastic step, but we've heard boris johnson warned that their storm clouds in europe that covid cases are going up again. if you look at australia, there's been a lot of vaccine hesitancy, for all the things we come on this programme

to talk about, like with the vaccine rely on this country, it's actually been relatively successful when you look at elsewhere. dash compared to elsewhere. people are pretty eager to get theirjabs, but elsewhere. people are pretty eager to get their jabs, but that elsewhere. people are pretty eager to get theirjabs, but that hasn't necessarily been the case elsewhere. so yes, case numbers are rising and thatis so yes, case numbers are rising and that is unfortunate in that those hospitalisations and deaths are rising, but when you compare to the uk, most of those hospitalisations and deaths we see now are in those who have not got the vaccine. so it shows how important it is. but it's a drastic strap democrat stepan austria hope this will stem the flow of the virus researching there. i of the virus researching there. i was talking to an austrian intensive care doctorjust was talking to an austrian intensive care doctor just after 7pm was talking to an austrian intensive care doctorjust after 7pm this evening who was saying exactly that, 85% of the people he sees in intensive care units in vienna were not vaccinated. how successful has france been in this respect are not

so much mandating, but basically saying, "if you don't get the job, you can't do things you normally do like going to restaurants"? fine you can't do things you normally do like going to restaurants"? one word - va . like going to restaurants"? one word - vary- because _ like going to restaurants"? one word - vary. because the _ like going to restaurants"? one word - vary. because the vaccine - like going to restaurants"? one word - vary. because the vaccine passportj — vary. because the vaccine passport has been _ — vary. because the vaccine passport has been very— — vary. because the vaccine passport has been very clearly effective, and the french— has been very clearly effective, and the french president and government have been_ the french president and government have been extremely clear that this is the _ have been extremely clear that this is the wax — have been extremely clear that this is the way. it needs to be strict, if you _ is the way. it needs to be strict, if you want— is the way. it needs to be strict, if you want to go to the restaurant or cinema. — if you want to go to the restaurant or cinema. if— if you want to go to the restaurant or cinema, if you want to have some sort of— or cinema, if you want to have some sort of normal — or cinema, if you want to have some sort of normal life, it is essential that you — sort of normal life, it is essential that you obey those rules. if you don't _ that you obey those rules. if you don't want — that you obey those rules. if you don't want to, then you won't be going _ don't want to, then you won't be going to — don't want to, then you won't be going to those places. i think what's — going to those places. i think what's interesting is the fact that this austrian chancellor as saying "it's this austrian chancellor as saying "it's time — this austrian chancellor as saying "it's time to face reality" — the reaiity— "it's time to face reality" — the reality is— "it's time to face reality" — the reality is oh _ "it's time to face reality" — the reality is on monday, austrians will have a _ reality is on monday, austrians will have a three week lockdown. the other— have a three week lockdown. the other reality austrians will be facing — other reality austrians will be facing in _ other reality austrians will be facing in the next 24 hours is actuatiy _

that vaccine come but you can understand hesitancy. the aim is to get as many people vaccinated with that booster as possible, and the idea, the hope is that will hold us through these tricky winter months when we know the nhs is already under pressure and can't cope with too much more. by, under pressure and can't cope with too much more.— too much more. a little bit of optimism _ too much more. a little bit of optimism now, _ too much more. a little bit of optimism now, it— too much more. a little bit of optimism now, it is— too much more. a little bit of optimism now, it is the - too much more. a little bit of. optimism now, it is the season too much more. a little bit of - optimism now, it is the season of goodwill. looks like we are having a bit of a spending spree to make up for last christmas?— for last christmas? people are floodin: for last christmas? people are flooding back _ for last christmas? people are flooding back to _ for last christmas? people are flooding back to the _ for last christmas? people are flooding back to the high - for last christmas? people are l flooding back to the high streets for last christmas? people are - flooding back to the high streets as well. ., , ., flooding back to the high streets as well-_ shepping - well. not 'ust online? shopping oane, well. notjust online? shopping online. and _ well. notjust online? shopping online. and l— well. notjust online? shopping online, and i wonder _ well. notjust online? shopping online, and i wonder if - well. notjust online? shopping online, and i wonder if that's i online, and i wonder if that's because we spent so long shopping online during the lockdowns. people are looking to save money during the pandemic, and there are some now it spending big and having a big blow out at christmas. that doesn't apply to everybody, but it does sound
