somewhere in pressure which will sit somewhere in the north sea. isobars tightly packed and a piercing north—westerly wind rattling showers across northern and western parts of the british isles at this stage. given that it has been called for a couple of days at the very least with some night—time cello as well, some showers will convert quite readily quite far south into something wintry across the higher ground and then into the start of the forthcoming week, rather as we have seen at the start of the week the isobars beginning to bend back at these for a time through sunday and monday towards more of a westerly so relatively mild here but as soon as the low moves away we could be back into the north and north—westerly and cold again.

hello. welcome to our to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the education editor for the sunday times, sian griffiths, and also the political editor for the liverpool echo, liam thorpe. welcome to you both.
10:32 pm
let's start with the guardian, which leads with a warning from conservative mps to borisjohnson, who are angry about plans to "scale back" the social care cap. growing unrest in some european countries over anti—covid measures makes the front page of the telegraph. the ft leads with a story on a hypersonic weapon tested by china back injuly, which is capable of firing a missile and carrying a nuclear warhead while travelling at five times the speed of sound — a world—first. "urgent action needed on social mobility" — the yorkshire post leads with new research on the divide in prosperity between the north and south of england. the daily mail has a report on the circumstances behind the return to jail of convicted murderer and sex offender colin pitchfork. and there's only one story in town on the back pages, as ole gunnar solskjaer is sacked by manchester united. but who will replace him? the mirror fancies former tottenham manager mauricio pochettino.
10:33 pm
so, let's begin. we will begin with the telegraph. sian, this really striking picture of police officers in brussels. the protests there and indeed violence over those anti—covid measures. let's begin with that. over those anti-covid measures. let's begin with that.— let's begin with that. yes, it is a strikin: let's begin with that. yes, it is a striking image — let's begin with that. yes, it is a striking image of _ let's begin with that. yes, it is a striking image of riot _ let's begin with that. yes, it is a striking image of riot police - let's begin with that. yes, it is a | striking image of riot police using water cannons and tear gas to break up water cannons and tear gas to break up these demonstrations that are turning violent, not only in brussels but in a number of other european countries, as well. and these are protests because, as an official in france said, covid is now spreading at lightning speed across some european countries, they are bringing in measures to sort of restrict civil liberties and try to contain the spread of the virus. some of the measures that they have been bringing in, austria for
10:34 pm
instance will go into lockdown, a national lockdown tomorrow, have really enraged people who have been taking to the streets with some quite violent acts. so, in austria for instance, three protesters have been arrested for setting a police van on fire. in the netherlands, police opened fire on crowds on saturday and they wounded at least for or people. really worrying and troubling scenes across europe now. b, i suppose the big question for authorities in all of these countries will have been violent protest is how on earth do you try to assuage the people who are protesting well at the same time deal with rising cases of the virus. i suppose you have got to ask, who is doing the protesting? in brussels, for example, the protest started peacefully and grew violent. you've got one how many agitators are in there who are perhaps nothing to do with the anti—coronavirus measures. to do with the anti-coronavirus measures-_ to do with the anti-coronavirus measures. ., , ~' measures. that is the thing. i think we saw that — measures. that is the thing. i think we saw that at _ measures. that is the thing. i think we saw that at times _ measures. that is the thing. i think

onto the front _ being so close. and this leads us onto the front page _ being so close. and this leads us onto the front page of— being so close. and this leads us onto the front page of the eye. l being so close. and this leads us. onto the front page of the eye. mr jobs on course for adults to beat winter rice. the government will be looking on it concern at those violent protests on the continent and thinking, what do we need to do to avoid any need for further measures here in the uk? so, booster jabs, most of the eggs one would say are in the basket of vaccination still, aren't they? liam, do you want to begin?— still, aren't they? liam, do you want to begin? still, aren't they? liam, do you want to beuin? ., ., want to begin? the government have been sometimes _ want to begin? the government have been sometimes about _ want to begin? the government have been sometimes about criticised - want to begin? the government have been sometimes about criticised for. been sometimes about criticised for putting. _ been sometimes about criticised for putting. as — been sometimes about criticised for putting, as you say, all of its eggs in the _ putting, as you say, all of its eggs in the vaccine basket, but there is no doubt — in the vaccine basket, but there is no doubt the vaccines are the key battle _ no doubt the vaccines are the key battle against this. obviously so far they— battle against this. obviously so far they have resisted further measures, including things like mandated masks on public transport and things— mandated masks on public transport and things like that, which a lot of people _ and things like that, which a lot of people think would be a simple measure — people think would be a simple measure that might avoid is getting to the _ measure that might avoid is getting to the stage that we are now seeing in europe. but they are sticking with— in europe. but they are sticking with the — in europe. but they are sticking with the all in the jabs basket, now it is all— with the all in the jabs basket, now it is all about boosterjabs. sajid javid _ it is all about boosterjabs. sajid javid says — it is all about boosterjabs. sajid
10:37 pm
javid says they are incredibly effective. we know that from tomorrow they are going to be opening — tomorrow they are going to be opening up to over 40—year—olds. i think— opening up to over 40—year—olds. i think we _ opening up to over 40—year—olds. i think we are — opening up to over 40—year—olds. i think we are getting towards an inevitable point where everyone over 18 is probably going to be offered a trooster— 18 is probably going to be offered a boosterjab. i think the jc vi is already— boosterjab. i think the jc vi is already looking at that. again, we do know— already looking at that. again, we do know that the vaccine, whilst effective. — do know that the vaccine, whilst effective, do wayne. obviously it is initially being offered to the vulnerable people, but when it comes to, when_ vulnerable people, but when it comes to, when time passes by, most people probably— to, when time passes by, most people probably will be offered one. more vulnerable people may even be offered — vulnerable people may even be offered a — vulnerable people may even be offered a fourth at jab. that vulnerable people may even be offered a fourth at jab.- vulnerable people may even be offered a fourth at jab. offered a fourth at 'ab. that is one offered a fourth at 'ab. that is one ofthe offered a fourth at jab. that is one of the subheadings _ offered a fourth at jab. that is one of the subheadings on _ offered a fourth at jab. that is one of the subheadings on this - offered a fourth at jab. that is one of the subheadings on this story. i of the subheadings on this story. ministers push for covert boosters to be offered to all over eighteens. it will be interesting to watch the messaging around us to see if the push for this and the uptake on the schools as well as with the initial offer for coronavirus jabs. i schools as well as with the initial offer for coronavirus jabs.- offer for coronavirus “abs. i have 'ust had offer for coronavirus “abs. i have just had my h offer for coronavirus “abs. i have just had my booster_ offer for coronavirus jabs. i have just had my boosterjab - offer for coronavirus jabs. i have just had my boosterjab to - offer for coronavirus jabs. i have just had my boosterjab to days| offer for coronavirus jabs. i have - just had my boosterjab to days ago, so i think... it make so much sense, doesn't it? if this is our strategy then the more people who take up the booster jabs, then the more people who take up the boosterjabs, the more effective it
10:38 pm
will be. sajid javid saying today that plan a is still very much at the forefront of the government's minds, we can look forward to christmas, we will not need to lock down again. i think the only way of making sure that that will happen is for a high uptake of the booster jabs. we have rolled out doing some things like vaccinating young children ? ruled out, so there are a limited number of options ahead. the boosterjab does seem to be the one the government is banking on. lets move on to the ft and this really astonishing story about the hypersonic missile which china fired a few months back. it seems to be just emerging that in addition to having this... want do they call it, you hypersonic glider vehicle, which sounds something like out of science fiction, while travelling at five times the speed of sound, this missile was able to be fired from
10:39 pm
the hypersonic glider vehicle. it sounds like a james bond script. what do you make of the story, shannon? you'll macro it does sound like ajames shannon? you'll macro it does sound like a james bond script. completely unimaginable almost. more seriously, other subheads _ unimaginable almost. more seriously, other subheads on _ unimaginable almost. more seriously, other subheads on this _ unimaginable almost. more seriously, other subheads on this story, - unimaginable almost. more seriously, other subheads on this story, which i other subheads on this story, which is that the pentagon was completely caught off guard by this missile and this test launch that china carried out in july this test launch that china carried out injuly and that it is clear that beijing is building up nuclear forces now very rapidly. and the west does not have weapons like this, does not have this kind of capability. and so there is just the sort of sense of opposing and rather frightening and escalation in the arms race. china has completely denied that that is in its view.
10:40 pm
that is not its ambition. but nevertheless, this is a frightening story, even if it does seem a little bit like science fiction. the reality of china's very, very rapid advancesin reality of china's very, very rapid advances in this kind of technology are really quite scary.— are really quite scary. leon, it does sound — are really quite scary. leon, it does sound incredibly - are really quite scary. leon, it does sound incredibly scary i are really quite scary. leon, it does sound incredibly scary in | are really quite scary. leon, it. does sound incredibly scary in all seriousness. as shan was picking out, pentagon scientists cut out card, which you do not often hear. the scientist being caught off guard. the idea of this really geopolitical struggle ramping up in favour of basing with this new capability. favour of basing with this new capability-— favour of basing with this new ca abili . ., ., ,., capability. the ft have done some treat capability. the ft have done some great reporting — capability. the ft have done some great reporting on _ capability. the ft have done some great reporting on this. _ capability. the ft have done some great reporting on this. they - great reporting on this. they initiativ— great reporting on this. they initially broke the story back in july. _ initially broke the story back in july. it— initially broke the story back in july. it says whilst the us was aware — july. it says whilst the us was aware that china was ahead in terms of this— aware that china was ahead in terms of this technology, it was not aware quite _ of this technology, it was not aware quite how _ of this technology, it was not aware quite how far ahead they were. to hear— quite how far ahead they were. to hear those — quite how far ahead they were. to hear those kind of details, which sounds _
10:41 pm
hear those kind of details, which sounds like it is being made up, really. _ sounds like it is being made up, really, travelling five times the speed — really, travelling five times the speed of— really, travelling five times the speed of sound and it can be fired from _ speed of sound and it can be fired from the — speed of sound and it can be fired from the device itself as it is moving, _ from the device itself as it is moving, obviously the capabilities there _ moving, obviously the capabilities there are — moving, obviously the capabilities there are pretty astounding. this was fired — there are pretty astounding. this was fired into the south china sea are some — was fired into the south china sea are some kind of test run, but obviously— are some kind of test run, but obviously the question is testing for what? — obviously the question is testing for what? there will not be a lot of information — for what? there will not be a lot of information or verifiable information or verifiable information coming out of china for its reasons— information coming out of china for its reasons behind that, so it is obviously— its reasons behind that, so it is obviously seen as a warning shot. the us— obviously seen as a warning shot. the us is— obviously seen as a warning shot. the us is rightly very concerned about _ the us is rightly very concerned about this _ the us is rightly very concerned about this. i think it is an interesting point, isn't it, that the pentagon were completely caught off guard _ the pentagon were completely caught off guard by this? they've got some off guard by this? they've got some of the _ off guard by this? they've got some of the world's best minds monitoring this stuff— of the world's best minds monitoring this stuff but this even blew them away _ this stuff but this even blew them away it— this stuff but this even blew them away it is— this stuff but this even blew them away. it is a real worry for geopolitical tensions and for peace. then let's move to uk olitics. and for peace. then let's move to uk politics- this — and for peace. then let's move to uk politics- this is _ and for peace. then let's move to uk politics. this is a _ and for peace. then let's move to uk politics. this is a really _ politics. this is a really interesting story on the front page of the guardian. do not take us for granted, tories warn the pm amid social care revolt. this is about

10:43 pm
it is going to adversely affect poorer pensioners, mainly in the north _ poorer pensioners, mainly in the north boris— poorer pensioners, mainly in the north. borisjohnson is definitely facing _ north. borisjohnson is definitely facing a — north. borisjohnson is definitely facing a rebellion in the vote tomorrow. what the backbenchers are hoping _ tomorrow. what the backbenchers are hoping for _ tomorrow. what the backbenchers are hoping for is _ tomorrow. what the backbenchers are hoping for is by asserting this pressure _ hoping for is by asserting this pressure now they will end of u—turn on that— pressure now they will end of u—turn on that before the vote. he is facing — on that before the vote. he is facing a — on that before the vote. he is facing a real stand—off with some of the mps _ facing a real stand—off with some of the mps who he was responsible for getting _ the mps who he was responsible for getting into power. it is that relationship has become a lot more tricky— relationship has become a lot more tricky in _ relationship has become a lot more tricky in the — relationship has become a lot more tricky in the last few months. that whole relationship _ tricky in the last few months. trisgt whole relationship between those newer mps and the prime minister is really interesting when you look to that levelling up agenda. and you have got to wonder how much damage that might do to the prime minister potentially if he is forced into some sort of u—turn on this. potentially if he is forced into some sort of u-turn on this. well, the are some sort of u-turn on this. well, they are very _ some sort of u-turn on this. well, they are very angry- _ some sort of u-turn on this. well, they are very angry. if _ some sort of u-turn on this. well, they are very angry. if you - some sort of u-turn on this. well, they are very angry. if you look- some sort of u-turn on this. well, they are very angry. if you look at| they are very angry. if you look at they are very angry. if you look at the way they are going to calculate the way they are going to calculate the social care cap, you can kind of see why they are angry. they are going to calculate this at £85,000 cap on lifetime care gusts. that is the proposal. and if you calculate it, you know, in this way, you have
10:44 pm
a fixed cap, that does mean that england's poorest pensioners are going to end up paying exactly the same as some of the very wealthy people who live in the south—east of england. where house prices are so much higher than they are in the north. it does not make any sense that, for instance, if a house in north gusts say £250,000 on average, you're going to be paying nearly half of that on this lifetime care cap, whereas in the south of england, your biggest asset, your house, could easily be worth a million or so. it would make more sense and it would be fair i may be to have a cap that was a percentage of somebody�*s assets as opposed to a flat fee. it is that kind of thing that the redwall tory mps will be arguing about. in advance of the vote tomorrow. they would really hope to push the government to water down its proposals and make them fairer and more of a levelling up agenda. i fairer and more of a levelling up arenda. .,

and having confirmed their decision to go ahead, within a few weeks the big day arrived. the theatre isjust being prepared is any few moments archie is coming in for his surgery where a spring like this is going to be inserted into his skull through a small cut. it will immediately expand and start to change the shape of his head and then continue to do so over the next for weeks. at that point, it can be removed. invented by a doctor 13 years ago, this technique has reduced operation time from three hours to a0 minutes. cut blood transfusions by 90% and provides more predictable outcomes. spring engaged. it is provides more predictable outcomes. spring engaged-— spring engaged. it is that predictability _ spring engaged. it is that predictability that - spring engaged. it is that predictability that has - spring engaged. it is that i predictability that has made spring engaged. it is that - predictability that has made the data usable for visualisations with 90% accuracy. idistill data usable for visualisations with 90% accuracy-— 90% accuracy. will be have 'ust finished the fi 90% accuracy. will be have 'ust finished the surgery, * 9096 accuracy. will be have 'ust finished the surgery, it i 9096 accuracy. will be have 'ust finished the surgery, it has h 9096 accuracy. will be have just | finished the surgery, it has gone really well. the spring is on and we

10:59 pm
some patchy rain in the north and west of scotland. the best of any sunny spells in the south. it is going to feel less chilly on tuesday before it turns colder again later in the week. wetter and windier by the end of the week.
