papers are saying, we've got the telegraph describing this is unprecedented disobedience. we have a comparison to square on the front of the times, and the guardian obviously pointing that the protest has now spread across the country how serious do you think this is? the chinese communist party doesn't generally tolerate public protest of any kind. and you saw how brutally they clamped down decades ago. the zero covid policy actually isn't working. yes, they are in their third year of lockdown and mass testing, but they had 40,000 new cases on saturday, so it's not working. people see a policy that's not working and causing the huge

personal distress and discomfort. moreover, it is damaging the chinese economy quite severely. china had 8% growth in 2021, it's going to be less than 3% growth. it's that kind of equation between the chinese people. of equation between the chinese ”eole. , �* of equation between the chinese --eole. , �* , of equation between the chinese ”eole. , �* , ., of equation between the chinese --eole. , �* , ., ., people. sorry, i'm 'ust going to interrut people. sorry, i'm 'ust going to interrupt very _ people. sorry, i'mjust going to interrupt very quickly, - people. sorry, i'mjust going to interrupt very quickly, why - people. sorry, i'mjust going to interrupt very quickly, why do l people. sorry, i'm just going to i interrupt very quickly, why do you think it is that beijing is allowing the will the crackdown come? i think it will come quite _ will the crackdown come? i think it will come quite sharply _ will the crackdown come? i think it will come quite sharply and - will the crackdown come? i think it will come quite sharply and quickly because they will be really embarrassed about all the international coverage, but a lot of this is that we are picking up coming and social media and it is quite hard, even in china to control that, so it social media pictures we are seeing some of the protests going on. repression is what they do

that they get that really does “ump out at you in a £300,000. the number of --eole out at you in a £300,000. the number of peeple working _ out at you in a £300,000. the number of people working in _ out at you in a £300,000. the number of people working in the _ out at you in a £300,000. the number of people working in the nhs earning i of people working in the nhs earning 6—figure salaries... it does surprise one, i have to say. i'm sure it will surprise most of the readers, and that is intentionally the story. when you compare it with other public sector salaries, permanent secretaries for example, there aren't many permanent secretaries prime minister, it does look very high. and it does look like an awful lot of people are doing this. there's lots of criticism, too much nhs money is going to oversight and bureaucracy at the top of that rather than on people who are at the cutting edge and working in the hospital in doctor surgeries. this will be a disquieting story. to

thank you forjoining us here on the papers. 11:30 p:m., back againfor more. i will see you then. bye—bye. hello there. november has been very mild, it's also been very wet. but as we head towards december, the weather pattern will change over the week ahead. it's going to be turning drier. it's also going to be turning colder. there may well be some mist and fog around as well. we've got a few patches of that developing already, particularly across north east england. it will be a colder start, i think, to monday morning. temperatures could be three or four degrees. there'll be a few showers around it as well. mist and fog will slowly lift during the morning. we'll see the showers fading away from scotland and northern ireland. sunshine around here. a few more showers coming in off the irish sea into west wales, south west england, and the odd one in the afternoon through the midlands and southern england. but large parts of the uk in the afternoon will be dry with some sunshine. the winds will be lighter.

it may be a touch cooler though, although still temperatures reaching 10—11 celsius, which is on the mild side for this time of the year. but things are going to get colder. we're going to find the showers are fading away and skies will clear overnight as this ridge of high pressure builds in in time for tuesday morning. and where the skies do remain clear, there may well be a risk of frost, particularly across parts of scotland. but given all the moisture after all that rain, we're more likely to find some mist and fog forming, particularly through the midlands, perhaps even into the central belt of scotland. and that fog could linger in a few places, keeping it particularly cold. where the fog does tend to lift in across large parts of the country, there will be some sunshine coming through, and we still could see temperatures reaching 9 celsius in belfast. where it stays grey and murky, though, with that mist and low cloud, temperatures will be near 6—7 celsius. weather fronts are trying to push in from the atlantic, not making a great deal of progress. we've got the weather blocked off by that high pressure extending from scandinavia. there's still a lot of cloud on the scene on wednesday, but the fog signal is much reduced

because there's maybe a little bit more of a breeze. and some places will see some sunshine. for many, though, still cloudy and those temperatures only around 7—8 celsius. the mild atlantic air that we've had through much of november really not making much progress in the uk. big blocking area of high pressure extends from scandinavia, keeping us in that colder weather as well. so if we look at the city forecast, you can see how those temperatures drop away. there's going to be a lot of cloud through the week ahead by the end of the week, maybe a few showers as we pick up an easterly wind.

his cause! chesterfield have broken the deadlock.

welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines... protests against china's srict covid restrictions have spread, with some openly calling for president xi to stand down. the government seems to have drastically underestimated popular discontent — yet for the moment, has no easy way out. is this the goal that keeps germany in the world cup? we have the latest on the action in qatar. rescue efforts continue on the italian island of ischia — after a mudslide engulfed buildings and swept away people's homes. and with modern wheat varieties coming under pressure
