with winds of up to 90 miles an hour. and rafael nadal has claimed a record 2lst grand slam men's tennis title with his victory in the australian open final. he came from two sets down to beat daniil medvedev of russia. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with us, jo kiernan, former welsh labour adviser and broadcaster, and annabel denham, director of communications for the iea. thank you for hanging around and not leaving me here on my own at this time of night! the front pages, then. the guardian reports that borisjohnson is launching a policy blitz, aiming to divert attention from the row over parties in number 10. the same story is on the front page of the i.

the newspaper reports that the prime minister's fightback includes announcements on tax, brexit and the nhs. according to the metro, the prime minister is facing another backlash from his own mps, after he insisted the national insurance rise will go ahead. the daily mail focuses on the announcements on brexit. it says borisjohnson is promising to move faster and to boost trade. the telegraph says mandatory covid jabs for nhs and social care workers are to be scrapped, amid fears of staff shortages if the plans went ahead. the times carries an analysis, which suggests just 5% of burglaries were solved last year. and a different story in the financial times. it carries a warning from the head of a majorfund, that investors face years of low returns due to surging inflation. it was. tore through the front pages, so we can crack on with the telegraph. —— a whistle stop tour. likely to be a shortage of 80,000 workers, annabel, if this had gone ahead. surely this could have been foreseen sooner than this. you would

weekend he feels it is his duty to get of borisjohnson, so i think while we do get the policy blitz, we can expect more stories about this culture of drinking in number 10 to be drip fed to the media over the course of this week. here we have someone saying number 10 has failed to uphold the standards it held for the rest of the country. while this has been clean for some time, there's been a culture of flouting there's been a culture of flouting the rules, the guidance to which the rest of us adhered and the public are right to be furious, they should be furious, that boris johnson are right to be furious, they should be furious, that borisjohnson broke the rules that he set, and he presumably felt he could do so because he was able to assess the risk, the risk of standing in the garden with staff who he works in an office with, and to use hisjudgment accordingly. what had been maddening in my view is that we have not been able to do the same, and when we finally were, with 0micron over the christmas period, the british public actually showed that they were

extremely sensible, often self imposing measures that would've been more strict than the restrictions government was considering at the time, so it is going to be an interesting week. i think we are going to get more stories like this, but there is a sense that the asthma here is slightly less —— there is a feeling that the atmosphere is slightly less volatile when it comes to the parties. slightly less volatile when it comes to the parties— to the parties. some say... it is all very well— to the parties. some say... it is all very well blitzing _ to the parties. some say... it is all very well blitzing eu - to the parties. some say... it is all very well blitzing eu red - to the parties. some say... it is| all very well blitzing eu red tape in our legislation, but if you want to do trade with the eu, there were certain bureaucracy you've got to stick with that as we've seen with the lines at the border. it is the lines at the border. it is almost beg _ —— in 0mos beggars belief we are at this stage _ —— in 0mos beggars belief we are at this stage i— —— in 0mos beggars belief we are at this stage. i have to say, i am rather— this stage. i have to say, i am rather cynical. boris is returning to brexit. — rather cynical. boris is returning to brexit. it— rather cynical. boris is returning to brexit, it is, i am rather cynical. boris is returning to brexit, it is, lam in rather cynical. boris is returning to brexit, it is, i am in trouble, let's— to brexit, it is, i am in trouble, let's hring _ to brexit, it is, i am in trouble, let's bring out some brexit news,

is... businesses and consumers are all suffering. the idea we are going to subtly now, after so long, ignite this bonfire over red tape, i can only agree with the cynicism. it is a real cost to businesses, it makes production more expensive to costs for consumers, and this was a real opportunity for brexit, the fact that we could incinerate some of those eu rules, and yet the government is moving in the opposite direction, getting more laws, we have not amended gdpr. the list goes on and on. yes, in short i do share the cynicism. brute on and on. yes, in short i do share the cynicism-— the cynicism. we don't have that word often _ the cynicism. we don't have that word often enough _ the cynicism. we don't have that word often enough on _ the cynicism. we don't have that word often enough on the - the cynicism. we don't have that word often enough on the paper| word often enough on the paper review! thank you for bringing it with you. annabel, quickly, tell us about these new sentients which will leave kremlin oligarchs, just briefly, on the financial times.

but it is still a fantastic achievement, but let's see if any of his rivals can claim it back and get the number 21 themselves. i am his rivals can claim it back and get the number 21 themselves. i am sure man will the number 21 themselves. i am sure many will try- — the number 21 themselves. i am sure many will try. that's _ the number 21 themselves. i am sure many will try. that's what _ the number 21 themselves. i am sure many will try. that's what happens i many will try. that's what happens if you are competitive, in spirit. jo, annabel, thank you for being with us, and thank you too for watching. due by a —— please do buy a paper in the morning, one you? bye—bye. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode, as usual. so, mark, what do we have this week? packed week. we have parallel mothers, which is the new film
