hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are kieran andrews of the times scotland and jonathan walker of the sunday express. let of the sunday express. me bring up—to—date with t front let me bring up—to—date with the front pages as they are at the moment. "it's mick grinch" — that's what the metro is calling the boss of the rmt union, who's announced new waves of strikes for december and january.

there is going to be a month of not refusing to work overtime, and that overtime ban will really hit the trains hard because they don't employ enough staff to fill the jobs are so a lot of it depends on people doing overtime. the mail details the chaos that the eight days of strikes will cause for millions and their christmas plans. the ft reports on news that the oecd forecasts the uk economy to be the worst performer in the 620 except for russia. the i leads on rebels forcing the prime minister to back down over a housing amendment proposing compulsory housing targets. the guardian reports that patients are refusing sick notes from their gp because they cannot afford to take time off work. and the head

of the health service says menopausal women working in the nhs will be able to do theirjobs from home if their symptoms require it — that's in the daily telegraph. and finally the times leads on the nhs "picking up the tab" of the online betting industry with a surge in suicidal gambling addicts turning up to a&e. jonathan, do you want to start is with the matter and that headline. i think he did use the grinch worked himself so he maybe talked himself into that headline.— into that headline. yes, a classic ublic into that headline. yes, a classic public relations _ into that headline. yes, a classic public relations error— into that headline. yes, a classic public relations error where - into that headline. yes, a classic public relations error where you | into that headline. yes, a classic i public relations error where you say the thing you are trying to deny that gives people an opportunity to side. but it looks like it is going to be a very dismal christmas period, for those who continue to use the rail service, as i do on a there are eight days of strikes in december and january. the strike

action has an effect on the rail service that last for longer than that, sometimes it takes them a day or two to recover, so it is all looking pretty miserable. i think mick lynch, although it is a wonderful headline, mick grant, a fantastic newspaper headline, he is an interesting character, though, i think many people have grown to like him, even though they don't like what he's doing, even people that don't support the strikes, they have grown to admire him because he is a straight talker and he stands up for his members and very honest and in an honest and open way and i think a lot of people will admire him for what he's doing. so they make what want to call him a grinch. does what he's doing. so they make what want to call him a grinch.— want to call him a grinch. does your -a er find want to call him a grinch. does your paper find itself— want to call him a grinch. does your paper find itself in _ want to call him a grinch. does your paper find itself in an _ want to call him a grinch. does your paper find itself in an editorial- paper find itself in an editorial dilemma because of the scale of industrial unrest is so widespread, self—evidently it must include some

of your readers who are themselves taking industrial action, whether they work on the trains, the post office, whether they are nurses, it seems such a broad range of parts of the public sector, the teachers, all involved, does that cause an editorial rethink in papers when you have something on that scale? i think that is an interesting point. i think our position as a paper is quite firmly that we don't want the strikes to happen but we are also very aware that people are suffering, basically, that people are really struggling to pay their bills, wages have fallen behind inflation, people's actually income has fallen significantly and people are struggling and we need to... i am much or how many of our readers will be actuallyjoining in strike action but i do think that society as a whole and including daily express and sunday express readers, their position is a bit nuanced.

people will understand why this action is taking place and they will be very keen for the government, when we are talking about public services and the rail —— and that no —— rail network is a semipublic service, still, will be keen for the government to act and not take a step back and say, it is not our problem. step back and say, it is not our roblem. . . step back and say, it is not our problem-— step back and say, it is not our roblem. ., ., , �*, problem. ciaran, the daily mail's treatment. _ problem. ciaran, the daily mail's treatment, christmas _ problem. ciaran, the daily mail's treatment, christmas chaos, - problem. ciaran, the daily mail's treatment, christmas chaos, asl problem. ciaran, the daily mail'sl treatment, christmas chaos, as it puts it. it treatment, christmas chaos, as it uts it. , ., ., . treatment, christmas chaos, as it utsit. , ., ., . ., puts it. it is not nuanced on the front page- _ puts it. it is not nuanced on the front page- it — puts it. it is not nuanced on the front page. it is _ puts it. it is not nuanced on the front page. it is pushing - puts it. it is not nuanced on the front page. it is pushing on - puts it. it is not nuanced on the front page. it is pushing on two i front page. it is pushing on two aspects — front page. it is pushing on two aspects that are slightly different to the _ aspects that are slightly different to the kind of consumer level. one is the _ to the kind of consumer level. one is the economics of the strike and the impact — is the economics of the strike and the impact of potential christmas parties _ the impact of potential christmas parties being cancelled in a hospitality industry that has already— hospitality industry that has already been crippled by the pandemic, if we can cast our mind hack_ pandemic, if we can cast our mind back that — pandemic, if we can cast our mind back that far, having missed out on bil back that far, having missed out on big christmas gatherings, in any part of—

to the express back page, the chaos i to the express back page, the chaos at manchester united, kieron, you were saying in the last hour that your dad is a city fan, but presumably even hay, because most people love the game, would be pretty sad to see such an unsettled picture at united with a positivity that may be old trafford could be sold or the club itself could be sold, they have lost their star player. it's a pretty unhappy... they have good management that seems to be doing good things but everything around them is kind of deeply unsettled.— everything around them is kind of deeply unsettled. yes, absolutely, cristiano ronaldo _ deeply unsettled. yes, absolutely, cristiano ronaldo probably - deeply unsettled. yes, absolutely, cristiano ronaldo probably didn't l cristiano ronaldo probably didn't need _ cristiano ronaldo probably didn't need to— cristiano ronaldo probably didn't need to worry about getting the train _ need to worry about getting the train out — need to worry about getting the train out of manchester today in whatever— train out of manchester today in whatever chauffeur driven car he would _ whatever chauffeur driven car he would have been in if he wasn't already— would have been in if he wasn't already at— would have been in if he wasn't already at the world cup. there are two ways _ already at the world cup. there are two ways of— already at the world cup. there are two ways of looking at the story, i suppose — two ways of looking at the story, i suppose. one of the most iconic players — suppose. one of the most iconic players of— suppose. one of the most iconic players of manchester united's modern — players of manchester united's modern history, cristiano ronaldo leaving _ modern history, cristiano ronaldo leaving the same day that the glazes who have _ leaving the same day that the glazes who have presided over tumultuous

seen something with birmingham city that was similar. and previously a lot of anger at newcastle united, seems to be have resolved now, and other places like derby as well, i think eldon is another place. there is a crisis of ownership in british football and a disagreement about what football is about and what these clubs are for, what the fans on the club for, they feel a sense of ownership, they feel the club should be acting in the interest of their communities and supporters to son extent, and they feel that clubs are owned by people who don't actually care about them. there almost feels — actually care about them. there almost feels like _ actually care about them. there almost feels like there - actually care about them. there almost feels like there is - actually care about them. there almost feels like there is a - actually care about them. there i almost feels like there is a missing man or ownership model. you can love a team even if they're not particularly successful but you feel

a sense of loyalty, whether it is geographical, childhood, orwhether geographical, childhood, or whether ever geographical, childhood, orwhether ever it might be, and you feel they should be a cooperative model of ownership, let people manage it, by all means, not dictate management but actually own it so there is a collective loyalty, you put your money where your mouth is, but it has never really developed in english football, i don't know if it is if it has developed in another sport worldwide, but you fill in one place it could work would be english football. perhaps i should say british football to be fair. the government asked tracey crouch, the former sportsman is to commercially review in this. —— the former sports minister. she suggested some measures such as allowing fans to play a shadow ball where they would have some say in how the club was run, at the very least they could

summon the club's executives to summon the club's executives to summon —— answer questions and the government has accepted those findings. there has been no action on that they announced it, they announced they accepted the findings but nothing has happened. it is quite late in a life of government and with everyone focused on the economy, it is a kind of thing that could end up being let slide. absolutely. and this government is not in a position to do very much at the moment, apart from trite and manage it, it certainly can't do anything controversial that might upset mps. anything controversial that might u set mps. ., ., ,, , anything controversial that might uset mps. ., .,~ , ., upset mps. kieron, take us to the i because i upset mps. kieron, take us to the i because i know _ upset mps. kieron, take us to the i because i know you _ upset mps. kieron, take us to the i because i know you will _ upset mps. kieron, take us to the i because i know you will be - because i know you will be interested in this story is a medical editor and i knowjonathan will be as well, already coming up with a sunday exclusive on the state of rebellion in the modern

this, he is from the one nation side of the party so you have an analysing different people. and it would wipe out the government majority which is why they appear to be moving away from this. the government is desperate to increase the housing supply, they know there is a real problem and they know it is a real problem and they know it is an issue which upset younger voters and leaves younger voters to feel that the government is not on their side, they cannot get a home or they can't buy a home at least or they are. to rent at very high prices and they don't feel the conservative party as a party that is interested in this issue and it seeks to help them and it ties in with other issues such as student loans and tuition fees and the huge repayment that people need to make but the trouble, what the government was trying to do was basically full local councils to accept housing targets and to agree to build a certain number of homes and this

will affect planning permission decisions so there are two ways of looking at it, one is that this is about the freedom of councils to make their own decisions around being told what to do by central government but of course the other issueis government but of course the other issue is that other voters, possibly slightly older voters dislike or may in some cases at least dislike having new housing developers on their doorsteps. so we are in a lose lose situation. it is their doorsteps. so we are in a lose lose situation.— lose situation. it is a paradox because this _ lose situation. it is a paradox because this target _ lose situation. it is a paradox because this target of - lose situation. it is a paradox i because this target of 200,000 lose situation. it is a paradox - because this target of 200,000 homes was the tory manifesto in 2019, arguably, they were elected on it anyway, which seems a bit bizarre. yes, and immediately after that election, the government appeared, well, i guess it was for a period of time, to be in a very strong position and in a position where it could do things that might upset some of its mps but they have a

healthy majority and i can say in the long run it will be good for the country and also good for the party, you know, those two things coincide, really. but now the government is in a very weak position, the labour party is united, tory mps want to unite, they don't want to have any more infighting, they don't want to have another attempt at opposing another prime minister, they've got the taste in my mouth, and they are not minded to deal —— do what they are told if it is something they object to, there is a tasteful rebellion. object to, there is a tasteful rebellion-— object to, there is a tasteful rebellion. ., , ., rebellion. our, the taste of grim rebellion- _ rebellion. our, the taste of grim rebellion. let's go _ rebellion. our, the taste of grim rebellion. let's go to _ rebellion. our, the taste of grim rebellion. let's go to the - rebellion. let's go to the telegraph, menopausal nhs staff can work from home says the nhs boss. this is a really interesting story, really— this is a really interesting story, really big — this is a really interesting story, really big step from the boss of nhs care england, effectively saying that taking the menopause seriously, the first— that taking the menopause seriously, the first time we have really seen

night. hello, i'm marc edwards and with your latest sports news. we're going to start at the world cup in qatar, and it's been a day of upsets and shock moments. we'll have more on the biggest one of the day between argentina and saudi arabia. but first, defending champions france had an early scare in their opening match against australia in group d before easing to a comfortable 4—1 win, as jim lumsden reports. the last time france began a world cup as champions in 2002, they went out without scoring a goal. saudi arabia's surprise handling of the mighty argentina illustrated the possible, and craig goodwin suggested that the day was not done. they had scant time to enjoy it. the french were shorn of several big names but stepped forward adrien rabiot on his finals debut. australia had lost their way, two goals in five minutes, and a 50th for france for olivier

giroud. they flew out of the blocks after the break, as the australians appeared content to sit out the show. the irrepressible killian mbappe scored 11 goals to his country in ten games, make that 12 and 11. and he has his goal! not to be outdone, giroud snatched his second to draw level with thierry henri's all—time record for france. a slow start for the champions but accelerated into an emphatic victory. jim lumsden, bbc news. not as much excitement or as many goals in the other match in group d between tournament dark horses denmark and tunisia. it was a frantic match, but finished goalless. christian eriksen was appearing for denmark having suffered a cardiac arrest in their opening game of the euros last year, and his corner led to one of the best chances of the match. andreas cornelius only had to nod the ball over the line, but could only flick it onto the post, so 0—0 it finished.

well, now to undoubtedly one of the all—time biggest shock results at a world cup, as saudi arabia came from behind to beat two—time winners argentina 2—1 in group c. the result ends argentina's 36 match unbeaten run, which included winning the copa america. they've lost to a side ranked 48 places below them in the fifa world rankings. our sports correspondent alex capstick reports. this is one of the greatest world cup shocks in history, argentina, argentina, one of the favourites for this tournament, they came here on the back of an unbeaten run stretching 36 matches. saudi arabia, the second lowest ranked country in this tournament. nobody saw this coming. in fact, in the first half, argentina almost ran riot, a lionel messi penalty gave them the lead but in the early part of the second half, two super skilful goals from saudi arabia, the first from saleh alshehri, and then salem aldawsari gave them the lead, and they'd retained that lead despite argentina throwing everything at them,

the saudis, they battled and they strapped, they held on at the final whistle, the hordes in green, absolute delirium for them. for those fans in the white and blue of argentina, total disbelief. they chant. robert lewandowski's wait for a world cup goal goes on after he missed a penalty during poland's goalless draw with mexico in group c. having won the second half spot kick himself, the barcelona striker stepped up only to see his effort superbly saved by mexico's guillermo ochoa, the 37—year—old goalkeeper who's playing in his fifth world cup. what a moment for him. it was the only real highlight of a poor game at stadium 974.
