hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are political commentator jo phillips and nigel nelson, political editor of the people and sunday mirror. hello, both. a quick look at the front pages. the daily telegraph front page looks at reported plans for schools to send whole year groups home amid growing concerns of the 0micron variant. the i says borisjohnson�*s poll lead "collapses" as leave supporters abandon the prime minister following what it calls "chaos" at number 10. the guardian says there's widespread concern over the state of the nhs according to a poll. the daily express reports new year's eve parties will be given a cautious green light by the prime minister. meanwhile, the daily mirror says plans for new year's eve celebrations are on a knife edge.

the times says weddings and funerals are to be spared from "covid curbs" if any tougher measures are brought in. the daily mail leads with the security breach at windsor castle yesterday, when a man entered the grounds with a crossbow. the paper says police are investigating a video on social media thought to be linked with the intruder. 0k, let us begin our chat, jo and nigel. nice to have you back. excuse me, nigel, iwonder nigel. nice to have you back. excuse me, nigel, i wonder if you could take us to the front page of the guardian and the sad death of desmond tutu announced today. yes. desmond tutu announced today. yes, and all different _ desmond tutu announced today. yes, and all different are _ desmond tutu announced today. yes and all different are featuring this, and quite rightly. desmond tutu was a massive figure, small stature but certainly a huge figure, and as far as getting rid of

apartheid in south africa was concerned, he played one of the biggest if not the biggest part in doing that. there was a nice little anecdote told about him which kind of sums up the man by the former africa correspondent of the new york times today, and he remembers going with him on an internalflight to cape town, and of 400 passengers, desmond tutu was the only one signal out for a body search, and when he came back from that, he said, it must�*ve been my middle cross which set it off! they must�*ve thought it was a weapon, which in a sense it was, because desmond tutu was the leader of black and white christians in south africa, so the greatest thing about him is he was able to speak to both sides and in doing so helps to read the nation of apartheid. helps to read the nation of apartheid-— helps to read the nation of aartheid. . , , , apartheid. criticised both sides as well, he apartheid. criticised both sides as well. he was _ apartheid. criticised both sides as

that people are now thinking about the future of the nhs. obviously the question is really about, how you restructure it and what you do, has to be left until after covid, but i think that debate really will have to be held the. jo? yeah, i think, although we know perfectly well that covid has _ although we know perfectly well that covid has overrun the health service and they— covid has overrun the health service and they will do so again, and we have _ and they will do so again, and we have seen— and they will do so again, and we have seen people who have left because — have seen people who have left because of burn—out and the pressures— because of burn—out and the pressures and things, we also know that no— pressures and things, we also know that no government has had the gumption, if you like, to have a look_ gumption, if you like, to have a look and — gumption, if you like, to have a look and have a proper grown—up conversation about what it should do, conversation about what it should do. what — conversation about what it should do. what it — conversation about what it should do, what it can do and how it can improve, and that does include the bil improve, and that does include the big issue _ improve, and that does include the big issue of— improve, and that does include the big issue of social care, it does include — big issue of social care, it does include things like primary health care, _ include things like primary health care, and — include things like primary health care, and in areas where you've got very. _ care, and in areas where you've got very. very— care, and in areas where you've got very, very good coordinated primary care, _ very, very good coordinated primary care, which— very, very good coordinated primary care, which is perhaps a group of doctors _ care, which is perhaps a group of doctors surgeries with a minor and he mac— doctors surgeries with a minor and he mac department but plus community
