hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. "referendum indy bin" is how the metro has summarised nicola sturgeons�*s failed bid to hold a second scottish independence referendum.

the scotsman also leading with this story with reports that sturgeon is pressing ahead with a de facto referendum and plans to fight the next election solely on independence. the i leads on unhappy tory mps with sources saying there is a need to start getting some policies out of the door and a sense that christmas can't come soon enough for them. and politics continues to dominate world cup headlines. the telegraph has gone with the picture of tight—lipped germany players as they take a diversity stand. the mail reports on record parking fines issued to drivers daily by private companies. the financial times is reporting an alliance of business, legal, worker and environmental groups are pressuring rishi sunak to drop plans to get rid of some eu—derived laws by the end of next year. the times has a story on advice to save on energy after warnings of blackmail by putin and also highlights germany's pre—game silent protes.

so let's begin. and we are going to start with the scotsman which has its front page showing nicola sturgeon saying sturgeon fires that starting gun on a de facto referendum. lucy, it is that idea that we weren't massively surprised with what the supreme court ruled by saying that scotland have to wait for westminster, effectively, in order to have a referendum so this is potentially what she will be running the next election on, on that call for a referendum.— election on, on that call for a referendum. , , . , , referendum. yes, because westminster are hardly likely — referendum. yes, because westminster are hardly likely to _ referendum. yes, because westminster are hardly likely to grant _ referendum. yes, because westminster are hardly likely to grant their _ are hardly likely to grant their wish for a referendum so nicola sturgeon is now saying that because she feels the scottish people are being denied —— denied democracy, which is an argument which might

hold water if they hadn't had a referendum already but of course they had won in 2014, she is now saying that in effect when there is another general election, the next general election which is scheduled to be some time we assume in 2024 or very, very early 2025, that she will campaign for very, very early 2025, that she will campaignfor it very, very early 2025, that she will campaign for it to be defective referendum. but i don't see how that is actually going to be carried out, not least because the electorate will decide what the electorate wants to vote on, people going into the polling booth, they have very personal reasons as to why they might vote in a particular way, it might vote in a particular way, it might be because they vote for a particular mp or because they are very worried about eggs that are happening in their lives like the cost of living crisis or whether they can access a gp cipher alluded to say i am going to turn it into a defect or referendum request doesn't actually mean is that is what it would be but ijust think this

speaks to maybe had desperate she is. she has spoken about how trapped she feels by westminster, that they are very coercive and certainly in relationship terms when we heal people talking about a coercive control relationship we know that is where a power imbalance lies so nicola sturgeon is almost highlighting how little power she has and out of that impotence suddenly she has this last throw of the dice, whether it actually is a success remains to be seen. it is a aamble, success remains to be seen. it is a gamble. isn't _ success remains to be seen. it is a gamble. isn't it. — success remains to be seen. it is a gamble, isn't it, 10, _ success remains to be seen. it is a gamble, isn't it, 10, because - success remains to be seen. it is a gamble, isn't it, 10, because when gamble, isn't it, jo, because when it comes to how you are polling people, it is not a given that there is a majority that want a referendum. in fact, is a majority that want a referendum. infact, it is a majority that want a referendum. in fact, it is quite the opposite? referendum. in fact, it is quite the o- osite? , ., , opposite? yes, that is right, there hasn't been _ opposite? yes, that is right, there hasn't been a _ opposite? yes, that is right, there hasn't been a massive _ opposite? yes, that is right, there hasn't been a massive amount - opposite? yes, that is right, there hasn't been a massive amount of i hasn't been a massive amount of polling _ hasn't been a massive amount of polling on— hasn't been a massive amount of polling on this, but the polling consistently shows that under a third _ consistently shows that under a third of— consistently shows that under a third of scottish adults wish for there _ third of scottish adults wish for there to — third of scottish adults wish for there to be a second referendum. now, _ there to be a second referendum. now. some — there to be a second referendum. now, some snp supporters may say,

well, _ now, some snp supporters may say, well, the — now, some snp supporters may say, well, the polls aren't right on that, — well, the polls aren't right on that, but_ well, the polls aren't right on that, but one person who i am sure doesn't _ that, but one person who i am sure doesn't look — that, but one person who i am sure doesn't look at the polls is nicola sturgeon — doesn't look at the polls is nicola sturgeon. she knows there is not the popular— sturgeon. she knows there is not the popular demand for a rep —— for a second _ popular demand for a rep —— for a second referendum. she also knows the polling _ second referendum. she also knows the polling around, people would vote for— the polling around, people would vote for remaining in the united kingdom — vote for remaining in the united kingdom or leaving it, she knows that shows — kingdom or leaving it, she knows that shows consistently that remaining part of the united kingdom is ahead, _ remaining part of the united kingdom is ahead, and went leaving is ahead occasionally does happen, it is not nearly— occasionally does happen, it is not nearly hy— occasionally does happen, it is not nearly by the margin that you would want to _ nearly by the margin that you would want to guarantee victory. so she knows _ want to guarantee victory. so she knows the — want to guarantee victory. so she knows the scottish public don't want a referendum, she knows that victory in the _ a referendum, she knows that victory in the referendum is not guaranteed so the _ in the referendum is not guaranteed so the question is why is she pushing _ so the question is why is she pushing forward with it? well, she also knows — pushing forward with it? well, she also knows that a big challenge of her support, also knows that a big challenge of hersupport, —— also knows that a big challenge of her support, —— big chunk of her support— her support, —— big chunk of her support is— her support, —— big chunk of her support is driven by dividing the scottish— support is driven by dividing the scottish people along independent lines _ scottish people along independent lines. the snp has been very

effective _ lines. the snp has been very effective since 2014 in mopping up the votes — effective since 2014 in mopping up the votes from all people who support— the votes from all people who support leaving the united kingdom. 0n support leaving the united kingdom. on the _ support leaving the united kingdom. 0n the other hand, the votes for those _ 0n the other hand, the votes for those who— 0n the other hand, the votes for those who wish to remain divided by the -- _ those who wish to remain divided by the —— between the other parties so it is in— the —— between the other parties so it is in her— the —— between the other parties so it is in her interest to keep that at the — it is in her interest to keep that at the forefront of the attention of scottish _ at the forefront of the attention of scottish voters, and so in some ways, _ scottish voters, and so in some ways. ves, _ scottish voters, and so in some ways, yes, obviously she does want scottish— ways, yes, obviously she does want scottish independence but ultimately this is— scottish independence but ultimately this is about positioning, this is about— this is about positioning, this is about sending signals and about maintaining momentum in favour of a referendum. — maintaining momentum in favour of a referendum, in order to guarantee, she hopes. — referendum, in order to guarantee, she hopes, success at the ballot box _ she hopes, success at the ballot box. , , . she hopes, success at the ballot box. , , , , ., ., ., box. lucy, they must be a lot of frustration. _ box. lucy, they must be a lot of frustration, as _ box. lucy, they must be a lot of frustration, as you _ box. lucy, they must be a lot of frustration, as you have - box. lucy, they must be a lot of. frustration, as you have reflected on already with nicola sturgeon, but if this is what is described as a voluntary union and that is arguably something that in one part wants to leave, they should be able to, if it is voluntary, she is suggesting tonight, it makes a mess of this

idea that it is a voluntary union, there is a weaker party in this, does she have any credence on that? as i said, i think that argument would hold more water if there hadn't been what was described at the time as a once in a generation vote, so in 2014, the scottish electorate was given that opportunity, it was done so couched orframed in that opportunity, it was done so couched or framed in that way that it would be a once in a generation vote and the people who voted there probably did have that at the forefront of their mind, that it really counted, they needed to think through the arguments so that they made a really conscious decision that wouldn't be then undermined or watered down in then undermined or watered down in the years to come, so it is very hard to see how when she now says there needs to be a referendum is if there needs to be a referendum is if there hasn't been one or as if things have changed too dramatically. now, for her side, they sometimes point to the brexit

vote, they would argue that scotland actually voted to remain, largely, whereas the overall vote was to leave, and therefore, for some people, that constitutes a significant change, which might warrant another referendum. but as jo pointed out, there is an actually seem to be that much one of the people, certainly in polling terms, and whilst when you dissect that polling does appear to be that younger people are more in favour of having a referendum, whereas people over 60 are more inclined not to have a referendum, overall it does seem to be something that the majority don't. .. seem to be something that the majority don't... and the tolling has been quite stable on this for some time, so i don't necessarily think she could point to any dramatic fluctuation in the last two to three years, but i think it is more to do with the fact that in a way she hasn't got any other policy that really sets her apart from the

other parties in scotland. {lilia that really sets her apart from the other parties in scotland.- other parties in scotland. 0k, we are auoin other parties in scotland. 0k, we are going to _ other parties in scotland. 0k, we are going to move _ other parties in scotland. 0k, we are going to move on _ other parties in scotland. 0k, we are going to move on from - other parties in scotland. 0k, we are going to move on from the i are going to move on from the decision by the supreme court not to allow that referendum to take place. let's have a look at the i because troubles with the conservative party is what the i is reflecting on, jo, sunak faces a battle, unhappy tory mps, let's focus in on this idea that the face of that red wall that we saw falling in the last election, lots of those newer conservative mps in the north—east of england are worried about their seats. yes. in the north-east of england are worried about their seats. yes, we seem to be _ worried about their seats. yes, we seem to be seeing _ worried about their seats. yes, we seem to be seeing a _ worried about their seats. yes, we seem to be seeing a winter - worried about their seats. yes, we seem to be seeing a winter of - seem to be seeing a winter of discontent coming from conservative mps who _ discontent coming from conservative mps who are, of course, upset at the fact that _ mps who are, of course, upset at the fact that their party is doing badly in the _ fact that their party is doing badly in the polls and, yes, it has improved _ in the polls and, yes, it has improved on its position that it had under— improved on its position that it had under li2— improved on its position that it had under liz truss but not by much. the

most _ under liz truss but not by much. the most recent— under liz truss but not by much. the most recent poll by delta pal shows the conservatives on 25%, the labour party— the conservatives on 25%, the labour party and _ the conservatives on 25%, the labour party and 51%, so that is a 26 point lead. _ party and 51%, so that is a 26 point lead. which — party and 51%, so that is a 26 point lead, which is more than enough to achieve _ lead, which is more than enough to achieve a _ lead, which is more than enough to achieve a very large majority for laboun — achieve a very large majority for labour. that means, if they were a general— labour. that means, if they were a general election tomorrow, and there isn't going _ general election tomorrow, and there isn't going to be won, but on current— isn't going to be won, but on current polling, many of those conservative mps, but he those in the areas — conservative mps, but he those in the areas like north—east england, they would — the areas like north—east england, they would lose their seats, and so they would lose their seats, and so they talk— they would lose their seats, and so they talk about the fact that i cannot— they talk about the fact that i cannot wait for christmas, they talk about— cannot wait for christmas, they talk about the _ cannot wait for christmas, they talk about the fact that there doesn't seem _ about the fact that there doesn't seem to — about the fact that there doesn't seem to be any new policies coming out from _ seem to be any new policies coming out from downing street and essentially they talk about the fact that they _ essentially they talk about the fact that they are unhappy. the question is what _ that they are unhappy. the question is what leavers do the conservative government have at their disposal and what — government have at their disposal and what impact can they have? the answer _ and what impact can they have? the answer is _ and what impact can they have? the answer is probably not many and not much _ answer is probably not many and not much impact. and things like the situation —

much impact. and things like the situation like the nhs over the winter— situation like the nhs over the winter and energy bills actually means— winter and energy bills actually means the situation could get much worse _ means the situation could get much worse for— means the situation could get much worse for the conservatives before it gets _ worse for the conservatives before it gets better so i imagine that in downing — it gets better so i imagine that in downing street they will be wanting to get— downing street they will be wanting to get to _ downing street they will be wanting to get to the festive break and refocus — to get to the festive break and refocus and reset and hope that they can start _ refocus and reset and hope that they can start to _ refocus and reset and hope that they can start to close that gap on labour — can start to close that gap on labour in _ can start to close that gap on labour in the new year. we touched u on this labour in the new year. we touched upon this idea _ labour in the new year. we touched upon this idea that _ labour in the new year. we touched upon this idea that tory _ labour in the new year. we touched upon this idea that tory mps - labour in the new year. we touched upon this idea that tory mps cannot | upon this idea that tory mps cannot wait, christmas can't come soon enough for them, but lucy, there are a number of different points coming out of this article and in the interest of transparency i haven't read this whole article, we've only got the front page, but this idea that conservatives are saying there is a lot of whinging about rishi sunak needing a clear agenda, is that the whole point, that he is coming with clear ideas, given the arguable lack of clarity with the leadership of liz truss? i arguable lack of clarity with the leadership of liz truss?- leadership of liz truss? i think art of leadership of liz truss? i think part of the _ leadership of liz truss? i think part of the problem _ leadership of liz truss? i think part of the problem is - leadership of liz truss? i think part of the problem is that - leadership of liz truss? i think. part of the problem is that quite a lot of weight cash what rishi sunak has done since liz truss had to

resign has been very reactive, it has been about correcting some of the mistakes that liz truss made and sunak, rishi sunak stood outside number ten in his first speech and referenced those mistakes. it is very possible many mps feel he hasn't necessarily come out on the front third and said what he would do. i think one of the other thing that needs to be said, in terms of context, is that conservative central office have asked all mps to alert them by the 5th of december as to whether they intend to stand at the next election, and what that has started to seize a trickle of mps beginning to put their hands up and say, actually, iam not going beginning to put their hands up and say, actually, i am not going to stand at the next election. so, not only do you have rumblings of discontent with mps at the moment who are a little bit frustrated that not enough has been done and the fact that they need to be more

policies, as opposed to being just reactive, and there is also the sense of who is actually going to be around to fight our corner when it comes to the election, the general election, whenever that might be? it is almost as if people feel a bit in limbo and that is what i took away from this list of things that i have mentioned on the front page of the i. mentioned on the front page of the i, that if the mps are saying, let's get to christmas and we will have a bit of a pause and a bit of a reset, the nation can't really wait for that reset, they actually need things to happen now, they need the things to happen now, they need the thing is to have happened yesterday. and i think the discontent that the tory mps have is only really if reflected in the electorate. pond reflected in the electorate. and when it comes _ reflected in the electorate. and when it comes to _ reflected in the electorate. and when it comes to christmas, so many people are worried about christmas with the cost of living crisis. lucy, thank you. we'll turn to the daily telegraph and focus on the football, and the images of the

german team, the spoiler alert, they were beaten byjapan german team, the spoiler alert, they were beaten by japan to german team, the spoiler alert, they were beaten byjapan to — one, anyone who didn't know the score, you've got it now. in terms of what they are doing, of course, it follows on from this idea that they not are not allowed to wear those one love armbands because there were concerns that they would be penalised for it so instead we've got germany doing this. what penalised for it so instead we've got germany doing this. what are they saying? _ got germany doing this. what are they saying? this _ got germany doing this. what are they saying? this is _ got germany doing this. what are they saying? this is a _ got germany doing this. what are they saying? this is a silent - they saying? this is a silent protest. _ they saying? this is a silent protest, metaphorically and literally. they are demonstrating their dissatisfaction with the situation over the armbands which were _ situation over the armbands which were the _ situation over the armbands which were the brainchild of the dutch fa but were _ were the brainchild of the dutch fa but were picked up by seven european teams. _ but were picked up by seven european teams, including germany and england. — teams, including germany and england, but then fifa said they were _ england, but then fifa said they were not— england, but then fifa said they were not to be worn and that restrictions and bookings might come into place. _ restrictions and bookings might come into place. and so this is part of the protest, german players also, some _ the protest, german players also, some of— the protest, german players also, some of them wore rainbow laces and the german— some of them wore rainbow laces and the german interior minister who was watching _

it will be interesting to see what they do. it— it will be interesting to see what the do. . . it will be interesting to see what the do. , it will be interesting to see what the do. . _ they do. it has become incredibly olitical in they do. it has become incredibly political in so _ they do. it has become incredibly political in so many _ they do. it has become incredibly political in so many ways, - they do. it has become incredibly political in so many ways, the - they do. it has become incredibly i political in so many ways, the world cup, we saw the iran captain took out, politics, football, howeveryou try to keep politics out of football, this world cup is showing once again that it is all very much merged because emotions are so intense when it comes to these big sporting events. intense when it comes to these big sporting events-— sporting events. that's right, it isn't 'ust sporting events. that's right, it isn't just football, _ sporting events. that's right, it isn't just football, we _ sporting events. that's right, it isn'tjust football, we have - isn'tjust football, we have politics entering things like the olympics, we saw many decades ago 0lympics, we saw many decades ago during the apartheid era at the way that cricket was used as a way to influence what was happening on the that country. so it is no surprise, really, that when you have got such a big international platform that people will try to get their voices heard. and that is why i think this is turning out to be the most extraordinary world cup because of the bravery of some of the people who are taking a stand. now, this

particular photo of the german team comes on the back of what happened a couple of days ago, specifically the idea that fifa made it very clear that players should not be wearing this one love armband, and the penalty that they would have had would have been, for example, a yellow card. and what seems to have happened is an upping of the anti—where the german team are taking it upon themselves to fly in the face of that fifa ruling and having the courage to do that because we don't know whether they will incur any sanctions on the back of that, and when you look at what happened at the beginning of the iran england match, where the iranians, the iranian players stood together during the national anthem but were singing it, one can only

imagine what danger they might actually be in was they go back home and one really worries for their families who are actually already in iran. the bravery of some of these players, who are, after all, only footballs, —— footballers, if i can put it that way, is really inspiring. and the idea that we would have a football tournament where they would be no politics, actually, the inverse of that has happened and actually there has been even more spotlight on the qataris and their regime, but also on other issues around the world, and it is incredible, in a way, that that is coming to the stage during the football tournament. that coming to the stage during the football tournament. that image is also on the — football tournament. that image is also on the front _ football tournament. that image is also on the front page _ football tournament. that image is also on the front page of _ football tournament. that image is also on the front page of the - football tournament. that image is| also on the front page of the times, but i want to focus in on the image is of course of germany but if we have a little look at theirs, a story at the bottom of the page, we

for bochum bundesliga with a thumping strike from a tight angle to make it 2—1 and write his name is in the history books. well, before kick—off, germany staged what appeared to be a protest to fifa over the 0nelove armbands. they stood for their team photo with their hands covering their mouths, two days after european teams were threatened with sanctions if they opted to wear the armband during matches. the country's interior minister nancy faeser had worn the armband while sitting next to fifa president gianni infantino. she had earlier criticised fifa, saying the threat of sanctions was unacceptable behaviour, while the german fa are planning legal action against the world football governing body over the fiasco. fifa have since said they will face no disciplinary action. while other former winners might be struggling, 2010 champions spain started their campaign in sensational style, steam—rolling a stunned costa rica as they scored seven in the opening match. craig templeton rounds up a very one—sided contest. time to start with a victory — the pre—match words of

the spain captain sergio busquets, something that his side had failed to do in the past three world cups. he leads a side full of youth but one that plays in the classic spanish—style, delicate, intricate. brilliant! _ it had been coming! winners 12 years ago, the opener took dani 0lmojust 12 minutes. this was a team in a hurry, as if what busquets said was still ringing in their ears. asensio, sensational, 2—0. the real madrid forward with the royal seal of approval. but barely after king felipe's applause, jordi alba was on the floor. penalty! ferran torres took to the way with the kind of confidence his country had shown, three goals before half—time. the former manchester city man added another before the moment of the match. gavi! the 18—year—old becomes spain's youngest ever- goal—scorer at a world cup.

then spain turned to the bench, and that meant carlos soler and number six. and then alvaro morata for number seven. time to start with victory. craig templeton, bbc news. belgium meanwhile edged canada 1—0, although they can probably count themselves rather lucky to have picked up all three points in what was an outstanding effort from the canadians. belgium laboured for much of the match, former chelsea and crystal palace striker michy batshuayi secured the precious win. it is worth noting that canada missed a penalty and had 22 shots to belgium's nine. and it was goalless in the other group game between croatia and morocco. here is what is coming up in qatar on thursday. four more tasty ties to tuck into, switzerland and cameroon kick off the day before uruguay and south korea go head—to—head. son heung—min is fit to play despite after wearing a mask after facial surgery. next up, it will be cristiano ronaldo's portugal taking on ghana. 0n the day is rounded off

with brazil's neymar and the squad squaring up to serbia. it has been a dramatic 24 hours for one of the world's biggest football clubs, manchester united. its owners, the glazers, they said they are thinking about selling. many of the fans protested against the owners for years. it follows the announcement that cristiano ronaldo will leave the club with immediate effect. andy swiss was at old trafford earlier today. well, even by manchester united standards, it has been a dramatic 24—hour is. after the news that the glazer family are now considering selling the club, that is news that will frankly delight most manchester united fans because they glazer family have been hugely unpopular ever since they arrived here back in 2005. that is because they were only able to buy the club by borrowing money against it and plunging it into millions of pounds of debt, and the fans feel that frankly they should be ploughing that money into the team because the trophies had dried up in recent seasons,

they haven't won a trophy here since 2017. and the protest against the glazers have been getting louder and louder. why are they doing this now? well, a number of reasons, perhaps. first of all, the demise of the european super league. that would have been potentially hugely lucrative to the glazers. also the fact that the stadium here and also the training ground need millions of pounds of investment and redevelopment. and also perhaps the recent sale of chelsea for upwards of £4 billion. that is something that may have peaked the glazer�*s interest. and of course all this comes hours after the announcement that cristiano ronaldo was leaving, after the explosive tv interview in which he accused the club of betraying him. in that interview, ronaldo was also highly critical of the glazer family, saying they didn't care about the club. now ronaldo is

leaving and it seems like the owners could soon be following him. chelsea maintained their perfect start after beating real madrid 2—0 at kings meadow. many bright flicked on at corner. for ingle to head in after 66 minutes. and look at this, cross shot, it doesn't matter, it is still stunning, alan cuthbert sealing the points with 15 minutes. that's all the sport for now. bye—bye. —— alan cuthbert.
