this is bbc news. the headlines... people in the us state of geogia are voting in a senate run—off election. they're choosing between the democrat, raphael warnock, and his republican challenger, herschel walker. neither won enough votes in last month's mid—terms to secure victory. a jury in new york has found the trump organization guilty on multiple charges of tax fraud. the company was described by prosecutors as having a "culture of fraud and deception." the united nations is warning of a humanitarian crisis in haiti. the country faces acute hunger and a deadly cholera epidemic... as it descends into chaos caused by gang violence. in a major upset at the men's football world cup, morocco have beaten one of the favourites, spain, to get to the quarter finals for the first time.

they knocked out spain on penalties. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are lord digbyjones the former uk trade minister and kate maltby, columnist for the i newspaper. let's have a look at tomorrow's front pages. we'll start with the times which reports that paramedics are being "urged not to risk lives" with strike action. the telegraph also highlights the strike and warns that eldery people are "unlikely" to get an ambulance if they fall. the financial times has a different take on the strike action,

reporting that rishi sunak is coming under pressure from his own mps to speed up the introduction of "anti—strike legislation" while the daily mail focusses on the labour party and the money they recieve from the unions who are taking strike action. the daily mirror reports on strep a and highlights the grief of stella—lily's father after she got named as the ninth victim. the metro's front page is dedicated to the tory peer michelle mone — she's requesting a leave of absence from the lords "to clear her name", amid allegations she benefitted from a company she recommended for a covid contract. and the guardian has more allegations on its front page about michelle mone�*s attempts to secure government covid contracts and finally the daily star's front page focusses on the wintry weather which is expected across the uk this week. let's look at the strikes and the fallout from that. the financial terms first, rishi sunak speeds up into strike legislation as

industrial action searches. the daily mail, labour in hock to unions crippling pretend. kate, different takes, different papers, but the same big issue facing notjust politicians but the country. yes. and i do find — politicians but the country. yes. and i do find it _ politicians but the country. 133 and i do find it interesting the ways in which the story is being reported and a range of different newspapers because there are a lot of ways it can be spun. we started having to leave at the financial times which puts the spotlight on rishi sunak, rishi sunak press to speed up into strike legislation as industrial action searches, but, speed up into strike legislation as industrialaction searches, but, of course, the male has spun this story as a labour party problem. it's focused on the amount of money, which the data out from the electoral commission, but we know the labour party has a long—standing financial relationship with a lot of the country's leading unions and a lot of those same unions are

involved in meeting the strike action, the male wants us to think that this is all the labour party's fault, and it's even suggesting that maybe this is a glimpse of what is to come. the independent on the other hand points out that it is the tories who are actually in government and who have to deal with that. so they have a quote from angela rayner which is the labour party deputy prime minister, which is very very technique favourably blown up into the headline suggesting that it is the tory government that are shambolic in their handling of this. so there are all kinds of ways you can spend less depending whether or not you want to claim that this is an example of the tory party being unable to impose order on the country or the labour party causing trouble with their friends in the union, but, of course, what all of us are going to have to deal with in our real lives is a very direct impact on our services that are disrupted and what does an already very, difficult time for a lot of people.—

for a lot of people. let's go back to the financial— for a lot of people. let's go back to the financial times _ for a lot of people. let's go back to the financial times because l for a lot of people. let's go backi to the financial times because it says tory mps are asking why the government hasn't moved faster with laws designed to keep the railways running and saying that this was promised three years ago. this running and saying that this was promised three years ago. this is a -a er promised three years ago. this is a paper review. _ promised three years ago. this is a paper review, and _ promised three years ago. this is a paper review, and i _ promised three years ago. this is a paper review, and i think— promised three years ago. this is a paper review, and i think the - paper review, and i think the analysis— paper review, and i think the analysis is_ paper review, and i think the analysis is spot on about the juxtaposition between left—leaning papers _ juxtaposition between left—leaning papers and right—leaning papers, but in the _ papers and right—leaning papers, but in the ft, _ papers and right—leaning papers, but in the ft, on — papers and right—leaning papers, but in the ft, on their front page headline, _ in the ft, on their front page headline, they deal with one thing that no other paper picks up, which is that— that no other paper picks up, which is that it _ that no other paper picks up, which is that it was — that no other paper picks up, which is that it was in the tory party manifesto _ is that it was in the tory party manifesto at the last general election, vote for us, that such marflfestos— election, vote for us, that such manifestos are, vote for us and we will do _ manifestos are, vote for us and we will do this— manifestos are, vote for us and we will do this and it was think they would _ will do this and it was think they would bring an empty strike legislation in certain essential services, _ legislation in certain essential services, and therefore tory mps are basically— services, and therefore tory mps are basically saying, come on prime minister. — basically saying, come on prime minister, get down with that. i think— minister, get down with that. i think it's — minister, get down with that. i think it's a _ minister, get down with that. i think it's a world of difference between _ think it's a world of difference between saying to a serving soldier or a police — between saying to a serving soldier or a police officer a prison officer and some — or a police officer a prison officer and some might include nurses in

aaain. �* . again. laughter yes, this - again. laughter yes, this is - again. laughter| yes, this is pretty again. laughter _ yes, this is pretty shocking. that telegraph of course is a paper that has a larger portion of readers from an elderly bracket. it's also generally a fairly conservative paper, so it's perhaps not surprising that they have lead with us at with the story that reflects anxieties that the readers really have. this is genuinely, it is understandable that people are scared of this stuff. the story is that when the paramedics and 999 call handlers go out on strike this month, it appears to be the case that on the emergencies, category one category two will be priorities and that was our emergencies that categorise as life and land, threats to life and limb with life—threatening illnesses or

injuries and flaws of the elderly are supposed to be in category three, which are less of a priority. i said earlier in your programme a full can be life threatening —— a fall can be life—threatening, you hear horrific stories about people who fall at home and are then stuck and unable to call for help until they have been left there lying so long without food or water or comfort that their life becomes threatened. in a way that it wasn't. it wouldn't have been if they were rescued early on. so i think this is understandably scary stuff. on the broader conversation that we have been having about the strikes. i do think it's an important point that digby has sort of hinted at this, that there are some very high figures being bandied about the sort of pay rises that nurse says and similar works are said to be asking for, figures and the 15% 70.6% both figures that have been floated. i

think there are real questions for the rest of us and for a country thatis the rest of us and for a country that is struggling with a cost—of—living crisis about why these records should be having a raise at a higher level than most other sectors who are benefiting from pay rises at the moment. let’s from pay rises at the moment. let's move on. from pay rises at the moment. let's move on- if— from pay rises at the moment. let's move on- if i — from pay rises at the moment. let's move on. if i could _ from pay rises at the moment. let's move on. if i could just _ from pay rises at the moment. let's move on. if i could just add - from pay rises at the moment. let's move on. if i could just add to - move on. if i could 'ust add to that. most * move on. if i could 'ust add to that. most people _ move on. if i could just add to that. most people in - move on. if i could just add to that. most people in the - move on. if i could just add to i that. most people in the private sector are — that. most people in the private sector are looking at five or six or 7%, sector are looking at five or six or 7%. and _ sector are looking at five or six or 7%. and it— sector are looking at five or six or 7%. and it is— sector are looking at five or six or 7%, and it is their profits that pay the tax _ 7%, and it is their profits that pay the tax that— 7%, and it is their profits that pay the tax that create the jobs committed to pay for these pay rises in the _ committed to pay for these pay rises in the public sector, and i think kate is— in the public sector, and i think kate is onto something, it is not about if— kate is onto something, it is not about if they deserve it, of course they do. _ about if they deserve it, of course they do. it's— about if they deserve it, of course they do, it's about what their nation — they do, it's about what their nation can— they do, it's about what their nation can afford it.— they do, it's about what their nation can afford it. some tough choices ahead _ nation can afford it. some tough choices ahead for _ nation can afford it. some tough choices ahead for the _ nation can afford it. some tough i choices ahead for the government. moving on to the story that we have been covering for quite a few days here on the bbc about the number of children who have died from this strap a infection in the question is

deadly cases, it seems that seemed quite mild to start with. i also think digby referred to the pandemic we are all still living with the fear of the next great health crisis, and we remember what it was like at the beginning of 2020 when we just begin to hear the stories about some kind of odd new disease that we were told not to worry about but the headlines kept getting worse. i'm sure that strap a is not another covid pandemic. there is a lot of clear evidence that this is something that can be quelled if we just get those extra antibiotics to the right places. but it is understandable that people are feeling very nervous about global health or even just national health. moving on to the metro. their front page story about michelle mone. mone alone as she steps back from the

his replacement, goncalo ramos, stepped up to the plate though, scoring a hat—trick, with a goal in the first half and two in the second. 39—year—old pepe, raphael guerriero and rafael leao topped off a stunning team performance with the other goals. smiles all round at the end, even for ronaldo. the biggest win of the knockouts, six goals to one, the final score. the shock of the knockouts came in the earlier game — with morocco stunning the 2010 winners spain with a sensation penalty shoot out win. the game was goalless after extra time — nothing to separate the teams, with spain within a whisker of snatching it right at the end of the second period. pablo sarabia's volley clipping the outside of the post so the game went to penalties. and that's where it all went wrong for spain. they failed to convert any — sergio busquets among them. and look at this for confidence — ashraf hakimi — a man born in spain got the winner for morocco. they're into the quarter finals for the first time. this will be a victory that will be

celebrated in africa as well as a continent. we are so many who live and breathe the beautiful game, the beautiful game often offers an escape for many people from their day—to—day problems. they live for victories like this. historical moments like this. tonight in africa, in fact, i have just seen a lot of messages, yes, yes, yes, africa has done a text it's also become the fourth african country to reach the quarterfinal at the world cup, which means they stand a chance to try to break the glass ceiling for the continent by becoming the first team to reach the semifinal. from what we have seen from this team, and beaten so far in this tournament, i am telling you that the belief that africa might finally get that team into the semifinal is rising every minute with morocco playing. ahead of their game against england on saturday. france's olivier giroud has described his team—mate kylian mbappe as the best striker he has ever played with. mbappe and giroud have formed

a dangerous partnership up front for the reigning champions with the pair combining for two goals already in three games at this tournament. giroud says the pair work well together . is basically one of the best players i've ever played with. he is amazing and he is still young. that is scary because he can still improve his game. i think we've not seen, we have still not seen the best of him. i hope he's going to come soon and beat all the records. i know that, you know also. former barcelona and cameroon striker samuel eto'o has apologised for his part in what he described as a "violent altercation" . following a match at the world cup. a video posted online appeared

to show the now president of the cameroon football federation, lashing out at a man. it happened after yesterday's game between brazil and south korea. on social media, he said "i would like to apologise for losing my temper and reacting in a way that does not match my personality, and said he has been the target of insults and allegations of cheating without any evidence." michael o'neill has agreed to return for a second stint as northern ireland manager. the 53—year—old will take charge for the forthcoming euro 2024 qualifying campaign. he'll succeed ian baraclough who was sacked from the post in october. away from football — and big news from england rugby union camp today, with eddiejones sacked as head coach, just nine months before the world cup. forwards coach richard cockerill will take charge temporarily — but he'll have work to do after a poor yearfor results . with only five wins from 12 tests this year. butjones, who was recognised as having the highest win ratio of any previous england head coach — will be remembered fondly.

i don't think he's a bad coach, you don't become a bad coach overnight. there is certainly a disconnect between the players and the coach. world cup final, to six nations her. he has a mixed bag. england are great players, they have some world—class players and a world—class stadium with facilities. whoever comes in, it may be swanlike steve borthwick, it could be baxterfrom exeter, if they are interested in the job. they have to work on the mental side, being eight games away from the world cup. they have a lot of pressure on their shoulders and if they want to get back on the world rankings, they have to perform under pressure. the coach has to be able to mentally bring them round.

former formula 1 driver romain grosjean will return to racing in europe next year with lamborghini in sports car racing. the frenchman has competed in america's indycar series since escaping from a huge fire, following a crash at the 2020 bahrain grand prix. he'll race at le mans 2024 for lamborghini's elite class "hypercar" entry, run by the iron lynx team. and that's all the sport for now. stain cold and only getting colder and the next few days with clear skies. widespread potentially sharp frost, the threat of icy conditions, especially where we see the wintry showers. most of the snow will continue to fall in northern parts of scotland. he are the temperatures come the end of the night, frost for many, not quite as cold across the southeast, a bit more cloud here and that will take a while to lift and
