hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the writer and academic maya goodfellow and the sunday times media editor, rosamund urwin. we'll pause before hearing from them and bring you up—to—date with the very latest front pages. the tragedy in the english channel dominates tomorrow's front pages. the telegraph says five women and one child are among the 27 people who died while trying to reach the uk by boat, in search of a better life is the headline on the front page of the i. it has a picture of a group of migrants carrying a dingy boat, preparing to leave the french coast to cross the english channel. the paper says this particular group's progress is unknown. the guardian is reporting that two survivors of the tragedy

are in intensive care, while police have arrested four people suspected of being linked to the drownings. why didn't france stop them, is the question on the front page of tomorrow's metro. that question is mirrored in the times, which says the prime minister has accused his french counterparts of failing to take action in preventing migrants crossing the channel in small boats. the express's splash is a separate quote from boris johnson, who accuses migrant smugglers of getting away with murder. and the mirror has a picture of a separate boat, which also left the french coast earlier today. it crossed successfully. the picture shows a group of children on board. rosamund, do you want to kick us off this hour? let us start with the i please. yes, there front — let us start with the i please. yes, there front play — let us start with the i please. yes, there front play age _ let us start with the i please. yes, there front play age is _ let us start with the i please. yes there front play age is covering the same story covered across the front

pages, which is this horrific incident in the channel. the deadliest that has ever occurred in this migration crisis, but is not the first people who have drowned, they have just drowned in much higher numbers today. and it is a horrifying story. 31 dead, two in intensive care, and a tragedy for all of these people's families. it shows the desperation to people to get in boats that are completely unsafe, and this sophisticated operation that people smugglers run is not sophisticated enough in the sense that it protects people's lives making the crossings. and the row that's breaking out now, there's a political row breaking out between france and the uk about whose fault

this is. in pointing the blame in both directions. wearing your media editor hat, as it were. it's a moving story and at some point, somebody has to say we're going to press for this. at least they have online additions to update, and is it still the case that people genuinely buy newspapers when there is a big story, a big tragedy on the front page? to sales go tragedy on the front page? to sales 9° up tragedy on the front page? to sales go up in these situations? that's a really good question. the go up in these situations? that's a really good question.— really good question. the start of my career. _ really good question. the start of my career. and — really good question. the start of my career, and it's _ really good question. the start of my career, and it's a _ really good question. the start of my career, and it's a very sad - my career, and it's a very sad story, but madeleine mccann on the front page a long time after the her

disappearance. and i think you can see that's why she continued to be on the front pages for far longer than children who are in the same situation as her. so, there is... we are fascinated by tragedy. it's a rather human... may be questionable human impulse, but i think this is... this is a really important story and it should be on the front pages, but it also feels like quite a predictable and inevitable story, and one that frankly, it shouldn't take this tragedy to get to this level. i think we've seen it covered quite a lot in the last seven days particularly. i suppose one of the

things that is worth analysing is the language used by newspapers around asylum—seekers, and there have been some decisions that many people would argue have rather dehumanise people who are desperate. the i has gone for a very human headline there, but they're in search and a better life. that's a kinder portrayal than the one we've seenin kinder portrayal than the one we've seen in other papers of.— seen in other papers of. that's interesting _ seen in other papers of. that's interesting because _ seen in other papers of. that's interesting because even - seen in other papers of. that's i interesting because even among papers, there is nothing but sympathy in this article, so would you take it to the times? very cleared photograph. it gives you a sense of what happens

got a response in time. the mail puts it even stronger. "you're letting gangs get away from order —— with murder." putting this in the words of borisjohnson. boris johnson was talking about the smugglers. he didn't say the french are helping them. i suspect some of the rhetoric will be dialled back. we have a report tonight of both macron and johnson agreeing that they will agree tojoint macron and johnson agreeing that they will agree to joint operations. i think there's a quote from the french interior minister, who makes the point that the people smugglers are sort of exploiting a lack of cooperation between france and the uk. obviously, relations are not

great by any stretch at the moment. that does feel... and that is an area that is a big problem in terms of addressing this problem. but one thing to note is that the channel crossing has become a much bigger, as a proportion, because some of the other routes and railroad due to lockdown were diminished. this is more visible way of getting across, and the number has expanded. it's three times what it was last year. but of course, the board or picture here —— broader picture is the uk takes fewer asylum—seekers than most of our european counterparts. but

proportionally, countries like greece and spain as well. and also, the wider picture is that we have a negative migration. we had a period of negative net migration. while this is the very visible side of this is the very visible side of this horrific story that's come out of this, there is a broader picture that's quite different from the way it's pretrade in the media. —— portrayed. we need that wider context to come across. absolutely. rosamund. — context to come across. absolutely. rosamund. do _ context to come across. absolutely. rosamund, do you _ context to come across. absolutely. rosamund, do you want _ context to come across. absolutely. rosamund, do you want to - context to come across. absolutely. rosamund, do you want to move . context to come across. absolutely. rosamund, do you want to move onj context to come across. absolutely. i rosamund, do you want to move on to the telegraph? there's a photograph of this little boy being carried off by his father after people were being rescued. it has a very interesting analysis piece by gordon rayner, the associate editor.— piece by gordon rayner, the associate editor. yes, and he's

they've stopped hundreds of people today —— stop migrants. right at the end, he's making a point that without a more trusting relationship between the countries, none of this will get solved. he does make the nationalities and borders bill which will become law in the spring. it gives government �*s powers including... asylum claims from anyone arriving from an illegal route, one thing that's repeatedly been said this week that is wrong is that asylum—seekers don't have a right to claim asylum if they have been through a safe country, and that's obviously wrong. that isn't what the rules are around that. that's all to do because we left the eu. this applies to members who are

isn't it, always going to be a question between france and the uk. we don't have huge numbers of people coming in any other way. it's also the easiest, shortest crossing. i shouldn't say easy. it's horrific and dangerous. but all the other options are even worse. there is a slightly inevitable thing here, and it's interesting to me because the horror is really that there is two powers here and these poor people are the ponds in the middle. this is the tragic result of this. if we don't find... i think the way that peace is... we need to build a better relationship. i peace is. .. we need to build a better relationship.— peace is... we need to build a better relationship. i think that's a very well— better relationship. i think that's a very well said. _ better relationship. i think that's a very well said. maya, - better relationship. i think that's a very well said. maya, the - a very well said. maya, the guardian. can you pick up on this point about

singapore and newsday. have a good night. hello there, this is the latest from the bbc sport centre. manchester city are through to the last 16 of the champions league. they got the better of french giants paris saint germain. they had to come from behind after having the better run of play, too — kylian mbappe giving psg the lead early in the second half. the fight back didn't take long — raheem sterling on target for the third time in as many games for city. and gabrieljesus finished off a fine team move, as city made their dominance count. the win sees them qualify as group winners, with psg through in second. liverpool were already assured of going through as group winners. they made it five wins out of five, beating porto 2—0. thiago alcantara got the first before mo salah rounded off the reds' win in the 70th minute at anfield.

all four english clubs have sealed progression to the last 16. elsewhere, karim benzema was on target for real madrid in their 3—0 win at sherriff tiraspol. it marked a positive end to the day for the 33—year—old french striker, who had earlier been found guilty of conspiring to blackmail former international teammate mathieu valbuena. benzema has been handed a one—year suspended jail term and fined 75,000 euros. he had denied any wrongdoing and wasn't in court this morning because of his champions league commitments. a review of the way football is run in england has concluded. an independent regulator is needed to put the sport on a sounder financial footing and give fans more say in the way the teams they support are run. the government set up the review after six big premier league clubs tried to form a breakaway european super league — while at the same time, many clubs in lower divisions were in severe financial hardship. we've seen football lurch from crisis to crisis over the last decade or so,

and unfortunately, we haven't necessarily have the right levels of regulation in place to stop that crisis from happening. i think we've reached a point, and the esl was a trigger for that, where people are saying no more. this is about ensuring that vested interests are removed from football, that football can actually start to become something that's sustainable for the long—term future of the english game. that's why we're setting out today these structures, these recommendations that will actually completely change the landscape for football regulation. former england captain michael vaughan says he wants to be part of the solution to cricket's racism problem, after the bbc announced he would no longer be part of their coverage of the ashes. vaughan was named in yorkshire's report into azeem rafiq's claims of racism during his time with the club. he has repeatedly denied the allegation made against him. the bbc issued a statement earlier, saying it requires contributors to talk about relevant topics and his involvement in the yorkshire story represents a conflict of interest.

vaughan posted this on social media earlier, saying he was disappointed. he also said, "the issues facing cricket are bigger "than any individual case, and i want to be part "of the solution, listening, educating myself and helping to "make it a more welcoming sport for all." some of snooker�*s biggest names are backing shaun murphy over his claims that amateurs should not be allowed in professional tournaments. murphy was knocked out of the uk championship by 19—year—old chinese amateur si jiahui on tuesday and said afterwards, "that young man shouldn't be in the tournament." the world snooker tour said it "strongly disagrees with his comments", but defending champion neil robertson, world number one mark selby and three—time world champion mark williams have said they agreed with murphy, who isn't backing down. we have seen today how this story has blown up and is still trending and all the rest of it, and it's madness, really, from my point of view. but for me, there has to be a line. you know, if there is no distinction between the pro tours

and amateur tours, let'sjust have one big tour, then. and i think amateurs — very good amateurs, by the way — standing in front of professional players who earn their living this way is a problem. there's been a huge change to rugby union's international eligibility rules. world rugby has voted to allow a player to switch to another country after a stand—down period of three years from the team they initially played for. this will be a game—changer for the pacific islands, in particular, with players who qualify to represent tier one nations via residency, for example, often opting to represent them instead. the change is something that former samoa forward dan leo has been calling for for many years. it means there will be those players that have previously been _ tied up with tier one nations under the one nation for life rule. - so, we're talking about some of the highest profile players| of pacific island heritage who may

have played for england, - scotland, wales. australia will actually be able to give back to their islands l of heritage, which is huge. it will transform the pacific. islands, but it will transform, hopefully as well, i the game of rugby. that is all the sport from us for now. we'll see you soon. hello. some pretty lively weather conditions on the way to us later in the week and, into the start of the weekend, we could see some severe gales quite widely, particularly through friday into saturday. and to go with it, a realfeel of winter in the air — much colder with more of you seeing a little bit of sleet, or even snow. that cold air pushing southwards overnight into the start of thursday — and that really makes for the chill for the first of the commutes of the day, temperatures widely at or just above freezing. so it frost in places, maybe just frost—free in the southeast corner

where there overnight cloud and patchy drizzle just about to clear, and in the far north of scotland overnight, heavy showers continuing with sleet and snow, even down to sea level. they'll continue throughout the day, a few showers down around eastern coastal counties of england, 1—2 to the west of wales, cornwall, and across northern ireland. but for most of you, thursday is one of those crisp, clear days — good visibility, but a chilly feel and a breeze, temperatures around 5—8 celsius. now as we going to thursday night, temperatures actually lift a little bit. outbreaks of rain spreading their way in from the north and the west, but strengthening winds across the board — that will stop temperatures from falling to freezing here, but there could be a frost to start friday, east anglia and the southeast in particular. but even here, we'll see rain push through on friday — this is an area of low pressure that'll cause us all sorts of problems. the exact track will dictate who sees the strongest of the winds and who will see a bit of snow. to begin friday, it's outbreaks of rain spreading southwards and eastwards. the strongest of the winds to the north and west of the country could touch damaging 70—80 mph for 1—2 later in the day, and blizzard conditions developing across parts of higher

ground of scotland. and this is where we'll see the strongest of the winds, really late friday into friday night, pushing down the western side of this area of low pressure. cold air with it, so a mixture of rain, sleet, and snow notjust to the hills, 1—2 to lower levels, but it'll be a difficult mix to get exactly right. keep checking the forecast — but it could be a night of disruption into the start of saturday with strong winds. more wintry showers around on saturday, an icy wind and added wind chill, too. so, whilst temperatures on the thermometers saturday afternoon say 4—7 celsius — already lower than we'd normally expected at this stage of november — it will feel closer to freezing and drop below for many of you. things'll turn quieter though through saturday night into sunday — widespread frost to begin the day, but for most, it'll be a dry day with some spells of hazy sunshine. keep up to date with the latest forecast details here on bbc news.

welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines... tragedy in the english channel, as 27 migrants drown trying to reach the uk. it's the worst incident of its kind, since the migrant crisis began. it's an appalling thing that they have suffered, but i also want to say that this disaster underscores how dangerous it is to cross the channel in this way. we the jury find the defendant, travis mcmichael, guilty. cheering ajury in the us finds all three defendants guilty of murdering ahmaud arbery, a black man outjogging in the state of georgia. a jury of 11 whites and one black in the deep south stood
