potions and drinks. they don't do black friday, but they do need to conjure up more stock. the huge headache right now is not having the products we want on the shelves to sell. stock being stuck all over the place, from here in the uk where we can't get manufacturers to make what we need, to as far as stuck in a port in china somewhere, our giftware not being able to get onto boats because the boats aren't there. it's frustrating and it's sad. there are fewer deals this year, and some aren't all they're cracked up to be, but shoppers are spending. i always love a good deal. and especially on black friday, yeah. we didn't plan on spending as much money as we have, but we've got some. we saved a lot of money. this could turn out to be the biggest black friday yet if retailers can deliver the goods. emma simpson, bbc news, newark.

that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the tv and radio commentator, joanna jarjue and martin bentham — home affairs editor at the evening standard. welcome to both of you. lovely to see you. let me bring you up—to—date on tomorrow's front pages. he sneezes. let's start with the mirror — it leads with fears among scientists, that the new covid variant could already be in the uk. the daily mail carries calls for calm from health experts, after the uk and other countries

implemented travel bans on southern africa. england's chief medical officer chris whitty thinks the delta variant is of greater concern than the new "omicron" covid mutation. that's according to the telegraph. the financial times reports that stock markets across the world have fallen sharply, after the discovery of the new covid variant raised fears over the economic recovery. a different story on the front page of the times. it leads with the english channel crisis — with the uk warning france of more deaths, unless talks between the two reopen. the breaking news that has come too late for the newspaper, the death of the hollywood composer who has died at the age of 91. outlets that will feature and some of the later editions and certainly some of the online additions. let's begin with cobit. he to start us off on mirror, please? cobit. he to start us off on mirror, lease? ., ,., please? 50, the mirror reporting that the please? so, the mirror reporting that the com _ please? so, the mirror reporting that the cobit vaccine, - please? so, the mirror reporting that the cobit vaccine, there - please? so, the mirror reporting| that the cobit vaccine, there are fears that co— that very end is already in the uk. we know that there has been reports that there is

already the variant identified in belgium, and i think rightly so, there has been fears that it could already be here, from what i understand, the variant that has been found in an individual in belgium is actually somebody who arrived in belgium about two weeks ago. scientists are already fearing that this could be the case here, and with this new variant, i think it's a massive concern for people at the moment because it seems to be a lot more severe than the delta variant from what we know so far. obviously there is a lot of things that still need to be identified, which we expect to happen in the next two weeks. there are already fears that it could potentially be a given that it's already in europe. just in terms of that story, it is hugely concerning for people, this latest development. we have got on the front of the telegraph a bit of balance, if you like, from chris whitty saying, well, yeah, this is

worrying, but set against how worrying, but set against how worrying delta was when it first appeared, we shouldn't get too quickly. iii appeared, we shouldn't get too cuickl . , ., appeared, we shouldn't get too cuickl . ,, ., appeared, we shouldn't get too cuickl. ., ., quickly. if you go back to the mirror, quickly. if you go back to the mirror. by — quickly. if you go back to the mirror, by the _ quickly. if you go back to the mirror, by the way, - quickly. if you go back to the mirror, by the way, already i quickly. if you go back to the | mirror, by the way, already in quickly. if you go back to the - mirror, by the way, already in the uk, it's_ mirror, by the way, already in the uk, it's an — mirror, by the way, already in the uk, it's an inverted, comments about the newspaper term for its acclaim, not a _ the newspaper term for its acclaim, not a fact — the newspaper term for its acclaim, not a fact. , ,., ., ., ~ not a fact. very important, thank ou not a fact. very important, thank you stapley _ not a fact. very important, thank you stapley said _ not a fact. very important, thank you stapley said just _ not a fact. very important, thank you stapley said just for - not a fact. very important, thank you stapley said just for the - you stapley said just for the viewers there. it also, yes, i think there's a degree to which the papers coverage tonight, a degree to which the coverage is angled a little bit on what you want it to be, and i think the telegraph clearly, of course, what chris whitty has said is that course, what chris whitty has said is tha . course, what chris whitty has said is than , ., ., , is that the delta, not 'ust when it arrived also * is that the delta, not 'ust when it arrived also now, _ is that the delta, not just when it arrived also now, 50,000 - is that the delta, not just when it arrived also now, 50,000 new. arrived also now, 50,000 new infections, _ arrived also now, 50,000 new infections, which are edging back upwards— infections, which are edging back upwards again. quite a large number, when _ upwards again. quite a large number, when you _ upwards again. quite a large number, when you look at what's happening in euroue, _ when you look at what's happening in europe, infections are going up very rapidly— europe, infections are going up very rapidly in _ europe, infections are going up very rapidly in many countries, lockdowns going _ rapidly in many countries, lockdowns going on. _ rapidly in many countries, lockdowns going on. so— rapidly in many countries, lockdowns going on, so immediate problem is the delta _ going on, so immediate problem is the delta variant and then the spread — the delta variant and then the spread of what is already with us. the looming problem is this new

that we should be kind of getting too panicky, but i suppose it's understandable that people are going to be feeling a bit nervous given all the ups and downs that we have had in dealing with this farce over the last 20 months.— the last 20 months. absolutely. and i think it is the last 20 months. absolutely. and i think it is right — the last 20 months. absolutely. and | think it is right that _ the last 20 months. absolutely. and i think it is right that people - the last 20 months. absolutely. and i think it is right that people are - i think it is right that people are really keeping an eye on this and are quite cautious about it. when we were looking at the delta variant before and when that was identified as a variant of concern that government didn't act quickly enough and it's a bit odd but i'm hearing some people kind of we don't know what it is yet but it's being identified as a concern of the world health organisation, and i think this is the time exactly that we should be having these travel restrictions in place, and we should be taking it seriously. i think it's a little bit counterproductive in a sense, given that, you know, we are getting information rapidly, and we know more about exactly how serious this variant could potentially be in

a matter of weeks. if we find out that it a matter of weeks. if we find out thatitis a matter of weeks. if we find out that it is a lot more severe than the delta variant, we have to put these restrictions in place and it's going to be very difficult for some of these officials to kind of backtrack on that, so i kind of thing, you know, being cautious to begin with now is definitely the best approach. this begin with now is definitely the best approach.— begin with now is definitely the best approach. as he said, try not to send out _ best approach. as he said, try not to send out to _ best approach. as he said, try not to send out to mixed _ best approach. as he said, try not to send out to mixed messages. | best approach. as he said, try not. to send out to mixed messages. of course, as he said commit will be a few weeks yet, which takes us neatly to the front of the mail. keep calm and don't let coalbed ruin christmas, joanna.- and don't let coalbed ruin christmas, joanna. . ., ., christmas, joanna. yeah, i mean that doesnt christmas, joanna. yeah, i mean that doesn't surprise _ christmas, joanna. yeah, i mean that doesn't surprise me _ christmas, joanna. yeah, i mean that doesn't surprise me from _ christmas, joanna. yeah, i mean that doesn't surprise me from the - doesn't surprise me from the newspaper like the mail to kind of say, keep calm, carry on committee of the newspaper that usually has the front page, you know calling things freedom day when we are coming out of lockdown and it's usually very, the language is usually very, the language is usually in that kind of direction, i do think that it's the wrong approach to have because, you know, when we have been a bit more relaxed

in these situations, we kind of, you know, condemned the government for that and we say people and taking things seriously, you know, it's right to not necessarily scare people, seeing as we don't have enough information at hand at the moment, but i don't think that, you know, we should be talking about it ruining christmas. it's a lot more serious than what they are making out, in my opinion.— serious than what they are making out, in my opinion.- well, | serious than what they are making | out, in my opinion.- well, i out, in my opinion. martin? well, i mean, of course, _ out, in my opinion. martin? well, i mean, of course, they _ out, in my opinion. martin? well, i mean, of course, they are - out, in my opinion. martin? well, i mean, of course, they are right - out, in my opinion. martin? well, i mean, of course, they are right in l mean, of course, they are right in the sense — mean, of course, they are right in the sense that of christ the mail and the — the sense that of christ the mail and the telegraph and the mail both are anti- _ and the telegraph and the mail both are anti— restrictions broadly speaking _ are anti— restrictions broadly speaking would rather they didn't happen, — speaking would rather they didn't happen, so their coverage is going to be _ happen, so their coverage is going to be focusing a bit more on that tone _ to be focusing a bit more on that tone of— to be focusing a bit more on that tone of what chris whitty in particular has said against getting too concerned too quickly. on the other— too concerned too quickly. on the other hand. — too concerned too quickly. on the other hand, so in the other hand it's quite — other hand, so in the other hand it's quite sensible to take some precautions. i think the point as it goes _ precautions. i think the point as it goes back— precautions. i think the point as it goes back to let chris whitty has said that — goes back to let chris whitty has said that the immediate concern is sonrething — said that the immediate concern is something else. we need to

they have developed their own vaccine production because, frankly, all the vaccines have been kind of hoover adopted by the wealthier countries, particularly in the northern european countries, north america and so on, and various other countries, and they had warned us, hadn't taken at that if we didn't get the world vaccinated, the virus would have the breathing space, as it were, to keep on evolving. absolutely. this is one of the things i've been saying since near the start of the pandemic. being someone who it's from africa and knowing the situation they're in hearing from family members as well, i know the severity of things in that sense. i think something like 2% of africa have been fully vaccinated at this point, which in my opinion is absolutely unacceptable. when we got to the point of vaccinating children and younger people and less vulnerable people, i did think at that point that there should also be a concentration of a more global approach to make sure that things

like this don't happen. i don't really think that anybody in the west can complain about things like the affects on the stock market when new variance in marriage because theyjust new variance in marriage because they just simply haven't new variance in marriage because theyjust simply haven't done enough to counteract that and they haven't done enough in terms of, you know, the patents and staff are the vaccines. so, you know, they can only really blame themselves in that situation, but also, even morality, i would be astounded at how selfish some areas of the world had been in terms of vaccine equity overall. joanna, let's go to the front of the times, untilthis joanna, let's go to the front of the times, until this new variant story and marriage to commit a kind of singular story that everyone had been talking about the last three days, and i hope we will continue to talk about it, the problem certainly destination. for a lot of these peo about u know, the reason destination. for a lot of these isn't going away, that is the death peo about it, now, the reason destination. for a lot of these of the 27 people who drowned off the peo going it, now, the reason coast of france on wednesday on evening, trying to get to the uk. it

is poignant photograph... on her wedding day, and it says, which is really more disturbing when you look when at the caption, given that we have that en that we been talking about illegal migration in all the rest of it, this is a it, that we woman travelling from kurdistan to join her husband in britain, a husband to i assume would be here i it, that we legitimately. we don't know that, but clearly, it is part of it. i i is it, thatwe think a lot of people forget when we i is it, forget�*e talk about the situations that there are actual legitimate reasons that there people want to come to the uk, obviously there is legitimate reasons and the fact that they were in danger, but also it i hear a lot of arguments about how they should stay in france are the first country should are should that they kind of land and because of land there essentially a safety, but realistically, under international law from my understanding, you are allowed to pass through several countries to get to your final

destination. fora countries to get to your final destination. for a lot of these people, you know, the reason
