hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment first the headlines. lord frost, the man in charge of the uk's brexit negotiations, has resigned — citing concerns over the "direction" of boris johnson's government. another 90,000 covid—19 cases are reported across the uk — as the mayor of london declares a major incident in the capital. british tourists abandon their holidays — as france brings in tougher restrictions for travellers arriving from the uk. the dutch prime minister puts his country into a tough new lockdown — as the latest coronavirus variant spreads.

hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejo philips, political commentator, and nigel nelson, political editor, sunday people & sunday mirror. tomorrow's front pages are in, but a spoiler alert in case you're yet to watch the strictly come dancing final. the papers reveal the winner, so look away now if you don't want to know. let's start with telegraph, and the news that brexit minister lord frost has resigned from government. the telegraph cites disagreements over the government's political direction and the introduction of covid restrictions. lord frost's resignation dominates also the front pages of the sunday times.

the express says that an emergency cobra meeting is due to be held tomorrow as a record number of key workers are being forced to self—isolate due to the spread of the 0micron variant. in the sunday mirror, a warning from scientists that covid hospital admissions could hit 3000 a day injanuary if the government doesn't adopt stricter measures to contain the spread of 0micron. according to the sunday people, up to 50,000 doctors, nurses and nhs staff could be out of action by christmas day as 0micron continues to rip through the workforce. and on a lighter note, strictly has crowned its 2021 winner — eastenders star rose ayling—ellis becomes the first deaf contestant to win the popular dancing contest. lets again, lots to get through.

good evening to you both. we will start with the one major story that broke a few hours ago with the mail on a sunday. let's take a look at the front page of the sunday times. the headline there is "crisis deepens for a pm as key bricks alli quit." run through what happens. i know this won't be very happy breakfast reading for borisjohnson because the crisis we have all been witnessing over at the last week i've now got an awful lot worse. apparently, lord frost, the eu negotiator, actually handed in his resignation a week or so ago. but the story that has been broken by the story that has been broken by the mail has led him to resign with immediate effect. i think the prime minister tried to persuade him to stay on untiljanuary. we have just seenin stay on untiljanuary. we have just seen in the text of lord frost's

resignation letter a little more detail, that it is less about brexit and more about covid. he talks about his concerns about the current direction of travel. "i hope we will get to bed we need to as fast as possible, and we also need to need to learn to live with covid." there is no doubt this is another blow to the already beleaguered prime minister, and the crisis just deepens around him. minister, and the crisis “ust deepens around him. minister, and the crisis 'ust deeens around him. ., ., deepens around him. nigel, what do ou make deepens around him. nigel, what do you make of — deepens around him. nigel, what do you make of this _ deepens around him. nigel, what do you make of this resignation - deepens around him. nigel, what do you make of this resignation and - deepens around him. nigel, what do you make of this resignation and thej you make of this resignation and the reasons behind that? we expect most people, you have a job, at the moment hisjob was people, you have a job, at the moment his job was that northern ireland protocol, very sticky, very tricky. the reasons he was saying are completely separate. what do you make of that? the? are completely separate. what do you make of that?—

would be many people that would argue that the way we have gone about this, too slow to lock down, too quick to open up, the backwards and forwards. 0f too quick to open up, the backwards and forwards. of course at health secretary, sajid javid, mentioned here or at the front page of the sunday telegraph, is now grappling with the fact that new dates are may force new curbs even before christmas. there is chaos around, one hesitates to say, this probably is in the christmas present boris johnson wanted. —— probably isn't the christmas present. johnson wanted. -- probably isn't the christmas present.— johnson wanted. -- probably isn't the christmas present. nigel, talk us throu . h the christmas present. nigel, talk us through this _ the christmas present. nigel, talk us through this 1- _ the christmas present. nigel, talk us through this 1- p _ the christmas present. nigel, talk us through this 1- p and _ the christmas present. nigel, talk us through this 1- p and urged - the christmas present. nigel, talk| us through this 1- p and urged two us through this i— p and urged two dutch his chief of staff to head off rebellious mps. tell us about this. —— pm urged to ditch his chief of

think. we will go to the front page of the sunday express. it is a pretty striking headline.

"the peak midwinter." a pretty bleak point, really. jo, just talk us through what we are talking about here. , , . ~ through what we are talking about here. , , ., ,, ., through what we are talking about here. , , ., ~ ., i: i: i: i: here. this is talking about 50,000 nhs staff off _ here. this is talking about 50,000 nhs staff off sick _ here. this is talking about 50,000 nhs staff off sick by _ here. this is talking about 50,000 nhs staff off sick by christmas - here. this is talking about 50,000| nhs staff off sick by christmas day. we heard earlier today the mayor of london, khan, declare a state of emergency because of the number of key workers that are off sick. i think what is so difficult for so many so many people, many people will be grappling with this as we come up to christmas week, whether

they are going to see people, whether they are going to events. we know it is another hammer blow to the hospitality industry, we now travel plans are in chaos, france closed its borders last night to people from the uk, germany has done the same this evening, the netherlands has gone into another complete lockdown until the middle of january. complete lockdown until the middle ofjanuary. what complete lockdown until the middle of january. what everybody will be grappling with, least of all the health secretary, although that is a rapidly spreading number of infections, the number of people in a hospital is not that high proportionate to the number of infections. so there are questions that have to be asked, you may well be infected, but you may have no more symptoms than a cold. no big thing of course as vaccinations, and it is at the high level of vaccinations that has probably protected a lot of people against much worse symptoms, particularly with this new way. the campaign to

get people boosted continues. we know there is 24—hour a day, all night long places that people can go to get their boosters. but it is a real problem. the public all over the world, it is notjust the uk that has dealt with this, people are tired, they are fatigued, it is in the middle of winter. borisjohnson has got this wrong so many ways by saying we will never go into lockdown again, we are going to have a great christmas. clearly, we are not. ~ , ., , ., , a great christmas. clearly, we are not. , ., ., not. we believe that story at and ho efull not. we believe that story at and hepefully talk — not. we believe that story at and hopefully talk about _ not. we believe that story at and hopefully talk about something l hopefully talk about something slightly less awful to finish. if you have been watching keenly, you won't notice the pictures are not lots of the front pages have been on strictly. let's get the front page

of the daily star, rose is the winner. i have to declare an interest here. the turquoise headband that i wear is a very fancy hearing aid on the back there, so i have been completely emotional all the way through the serious, completely biased, so i'm not going to talk about it because it is not my place. jo, just to make your reaction to it. my place. jo, 'ust to make your reaction to it.— my place. jo, 'ust to make your reaction to it. she has become an absolute star. _ reaction to it. she has become an absolute star. she _ reaction to it. she has become an absolute star. she was _ reaction to it. she has become an absolute star. she was a - reaction to it. she has become an absolute star. she was a start - absolute star. she was a start anyway, she is an actor is of considerable men and appears in east enders, so she is knowing too many people anyway. but this is the first time that a deaf dancer has taken part in strictly. i know a couple of weeks ago, with her partner, geos

and napier nietzsche, they dance silent for 20 seconds. since rose's appearance on strictly, that has been a huge interest in people wanting to learn british sign language. it is another barrier broken, it's wonderful, so huge congratulations to them. nigel, ten seconds left- _ congratulations to them. nigel, ten seconds left. but _ congratulations to them. nigel, ten seconds left. but it's _ congratulations to them. nigel, ten seconds left. but it's nice _ congratulations to them. nigel, ten seconds left. but it's nice to - seconds left. but it's nice to finish with eight nice new story, isn't it? i finish with eight nice new story, isn't it? . , finish with eight nice new story, isn't it? ., , ., , finish with eight nice new story, isn't it? ., , .,, , , isn't it? i really hope she en'oys sendin: isn't it? i really hope she en'oys spending that i isn't it? i really hope she en'oys spending that £1 i isn't it? i really hope she en'oys spending that £1 million, h isn't it? i really hope she enjoys spending that £1 million, which | isn't it? i really hope she enjoys i spending that £1 million, which will -et spending that £1 million, which will get hurt _ spending that £1 million, which will get hurt various tele— deals. we get hurt various tele- deals. we wish her all _ get hurt various tele— deals. - wish her all the best, get hurt various tele— deals. - wish herallthe best, it get hurt various tele— deals. - wish her all the best, it was wonderful to watch. jo and nigel will be back at the to the later on. dojoin me for that. for now, bye—bye.

the victoria and albert museum in london is a treasure trove of beautiful artworks. some 3—dimensional wonders and some masterpieces so realistic, you could walk into them. which is precisely what's about to happen in the painting gallery where, in amongst the turners and the constables, a kelly and a lewington are about to get stuck in to some very modern art. there's a dancer and she's wearing pyjamas? or is that fashion these days? spencer chuckles. that's the fashion. that's the fashion? don't you know — don't you know about fashion? why aren't you wearing that? i've got three sets of those. spencer laughs. this is sonzai — an augmented reality performance you can see using the hololens headset and specifically designed to take place in this space.
