of the planet's lands and seas by 2030 has been reached after marathon talks at a un biodiversity summit in canada. hello and a warm welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are deputy political editor of the daily mail, harriet line, and feature writer for the i paper, james rampton. tomorrow's front pages — many of them dominated by the wave of strikes — the express leads with the ongoing strikes in the health service. the paper has a message from a nurses�* union leader saying "talk to us, rishi, we don't want to break the bank." the metro also leads on the nhs, with the story of a mother who confronted the health secretary steve barclay about the delays in treatment for her seriously ill daughter.

the guardian has a warning from nhs bosses that the upcoming ambulance staff strike threatens lives of 999 patients. a&e? call a taxi — is the message on the front page of the sun. the telegraph focuses on what it calls last—ditch talks between the government and health unions tomorrow to try and prevent long—term disruption. but according to the mail, the prime minister says he won't back down over public sector strikes. finally away from the strikes — the daily star leads onjeremy clarkson�*s response to his controversial comments on meghan markle. the headline is "soz for being such a moron". right, with that, let's get started and harriet and james, thank you once again. let's start with the front page of the financial times. harriet, the ronda flights ruled a lawful. ——

rwanda. there's a lot more to this than just the high court saying these are lawful because it is a lot more complicated. it these are lawful because it is a lot more complicated.— these are lawful because it is a lot more complicated. it is. the rwanda [an to more complicated. it is. the rwanda plan to send — more complicated. it is. the rwanda plan to send illegal _ more complicated. it is. the rwanda plan to send illegal migrants - more complicated. it is. the rwanda plan to send illegal migrants there i plan to send illegal migrants there is the government's flagship policy in dealing with the channel migrant crisis. authority seen 40,000 people cross the channel in deadly conditions. —— it's already. it has been beset with problems of since it was announced earlier this year. the main one being this legal challenge in the high court, which today, judges ruled that the policy was legal, which is a huge victory for the government. however, thejudges also said the individual cases needed to be more carefully considered, therefore the home secretary would have to look again at the individual people who are being sent to rwanda on that plane

and in future cases if any go. but the main issue is the fact that the high courtjudgment is likely to be appealed against. there's a number of parties who object to this policy, and therefore we could see an appeal launched and months more of legal wrangling by the supreme court. that means that before the government starts this, during any proceedings, they won't be sending any people to rwanda. therefore, no flights are going to take off. for the foreseeable months, potentially even years, if indeed at all, it is deemed legal. it's a political victory today for the government and they're pretty smug about it, but in reality, this has no place being enacted. , .,

hospital to talk about strike action, perhaps to provide some reassurance that things may not be so bad in the long—term and the government's right to not know to negotiate —— negotiate on pay. and negotiate -- negotiate on pay. and it's hard to — negotiate -- negotiate on pay. and it's hard to see _ negotiate —— negotiate on pay. and it's hard to see how that's going to go down with people who read front pages like the one on the sun, basically in big letters, a&e, call a taxi. some people may have a call cabs to get themselves into hospital. that's not going to be a good look for the government. know, but i think good look for the government. know, but i think it — good look for the government. know, but i think it will — good look for the government. know, but i think it will be _ good look for the government. know, but i think it will be interesting - but i think it will be interesting to see whether there is any kind of change and public mood, as well as a very angry with the government for not stepping in. equally, ithink very angry with the government for not stepping in. equally, i think if you do see people dying, which is by

no means an exaggeration, if ambulances aren't able to attend to somebody who's perhaps broken her hip, you might see anger boiling over to those workers. but these are not headlines the government want to see. that'sjust not headlines the government want to see. that's just not the service that people pay through their nose for taxis with their taxes. i don't think many people are going to buy it. asimilarwarning in a similar warning in the guardian as well. that warning coming from nhs bosses. ., , ., , bosses. there are stories circulating _ bosses. there are stories circulating that _ bosses. there are stories circulating that even - bosses. there are stories circulating that even if. bosses. there are stories| circulating that even if you bosses. there are stories - circulating that even if you have a heart _ circulating that even if you have a heart attack or stroke in certain areas, _ heart attack or stroke in certain areas. you _ heart attack or stroke in certain areas, you will not be attended by an ambulance. you have to get yourself — an ambulance. you have to get yourself into a taxi. this beggars betief— yourself into a taxi. this beggars belief to — yourself into a taxi. this beggars belief to me. we are the fifth riches — belief to me. we are the fifth riches economy in the world, we are an extremely rich nation relatively, and we _

asking people whether they wanted him to carry on as the boss of twitter, and he said if you vote for me not to carry on, i will adhere to the pole. so far, he hasn�*t, and the pull was 53% versus 43%. the pole. so far, he hasn't, and the pull was 53% versus 43%.— the pole. so far, he hasn't, and the pull was 53% versus 43%. yes, it was 57.5% out of 17.5 — pull was 53% versus 43%. yes, it was 57.5% out of 17.5 million _ pull was 5396 versus 4396. yes, it was 57.596 out of 17.5 million users. - 57.5% out of 17.5 million users. that's— 57.5% out of 17.5 million users. that's nearly as many people who that�*s nearly as many people who voted for brexit. laughter exactly! it is sort of like a certain— exactly! it is sort of like a certain president who refuses to accept _ certain president who refuses to accept democracy. it's early days. he seems— accept democracy. it's early days. he seems to have committed an —— an act of— he seems to have committed an —— an act of the _ he seems to have committed an —— an act of the self— he seems to have committed an —— an act of the self sabotage. he bought the $44 _ act of the self sabotage. he bought

charges against him, one of those rape, but we cannot confirm that he has already been convicted in rape —— we can now confirm. after this trial, we know have heard that he has been found guilty of three counts. called some 44 witnesses to the stand. we had weeks of emotional testimony, four women he was charged with raping. thejury �*s verdict will hinge on the testimony that came from those four would know women. four other gave... the charges were not in relation to what they were saying, but these four women... he has now been found guilty of one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault. he was acquitted on one charge of sexual assault and three other counts, the jury assault and three other counts, the jury was hung. sophie, thank you

very much indeed. time now for sportsday. good evening. this is your update from the bbc sport centre. argentina�*s world cup—winning captain, lionel messi, has been crowned bbc sports personality�*s world sport star of the year for 2022. the 35—year—old forward led his country to their first world cup triumph in 36 years, with that epic victory over france on penalties yesterday. messi scored seven goals, including two in the final, leading to him being awarded the golden ball award, as the best player at the tournament. messi�*s glittering career now stands at a world cup, copa america, seven ballon d�*ors, four champions leagues as well as domestic titles with barcelona and psg. france striker karim benzema has announced his retirement from international football. the current ballon d�*or winner and real madrid striker was meant to be part of the france squad that lost in the final yesterday on penalties to argentina, but he sustained a thigh injury on the eve of the tournament meaning he was left out.

he scored 37 goals for france in 97 games. kolo toure�*s first home game in charge of championship side wigan athletic ended in a 2—1 defeat to sheffield united. wigan began the game one off the bottom, united one off the top, and john egan put them ahead afterjust seven minutes. the blades created the far better of the chances. after almost an hour, billy shaw doubled their lead. wigan pulled a goal back through nathan broadhead, although had there been var, he may well have been judged. 2-1 it 2—1 it finished, united three whites behind leaders burnley. the new england rugby union head coach steve borthwick says it�*s an honour to be appointed —— three points. and has prioritised delivering success with the world cup in france just nine months away. the former england captain has signed a five—year contract, and takes over immediately as the successor to eddiejones. the 43—year—old�*s first match

will be against scotland in the six nations on the 4th of february. he�*s joined by kevin sinfield, who takes over as defence coach, having worked with borthwick at leicester. i feel immense pride. it�*s an honour. i�*ve been privileged to have played for this team, captained the steam, been assistant coach for this team and a supporter of this team. —— captained this team —— now, to have the honour to be head coach, it�*s incredible. now, to have the honour to be head coach, it�*s incredible. but i do know that comes to nothing if we don�*t deliver. we want to shape a team that delivers, that wins, and that�*s the priority. the rfu chief executive bill sweeney also spoke for the first time since eddie jones�* sacking and outlined the reasons for his departure. i think as he got into those autumns, having come off an australian series win, we were expecting them just to go to the next level as part of the overall build through to 2023, and it didn't happen. so you make a decision. is that a blip in the autumns of 22? or is there something more fundamental that we need to address?

and that's what we decided we had to do. england are on the brink of an historic victory against pakistan in the third test in karachi — and what a day to rememberfor their 18—year—old spinner rehan ahmed. his inclusion made headlines. his performance continues to stun, with a five—wicket haul to put england in total control at the end of day three. joe wilson reports. never has so much been done by a man so young on debut. rehan ahmed and his dad will always remember karachi. spin bowling led the way for england. jack leach got shan masood in a tangle. the runs pakistan scored built their lead. four for babar azam here. just a friendly chat between the two captains. "how�*s the match going?" well, fast improving for pakistan with saud shakeel playing like that. babar was looking immovable but then he whacked the ball to 0llie pope. caught, and the bowler — 18—year—old rehan ahmed. it was his time. next he found the edge

of mohammad rizwan�*s bat. when saud shakeel skied this, he was gone for 53. the youngest man to play for england had turned the game. the final act of pakistan�*s second innings was rehan ahmed�*s fifth wicket. it�*s in the air. and drops safely into the hands. youngest debutant to do that ever. right here, it meant england needed 167 to win the match. probably the best day of my life again. i mean, to get a 5—fer on my debut is a dream come true. yeah, it's great. your dad, he wiped| a tear from his eye. yeah, i mean, i don't blame him! england galloped towards their victory target. well, they always do. when one wicket fell, guess who came in? rehan ahmed added ten runs to his debut. why not? seen everything? there was still time for ben stokes to let loose. watch out. to win on day four, theyjust need 55 more runs, and a bat. joe wilson, bbc news.

in the world darts championship, 2010 runner—up simon whitlock is out. the australian went two sets up against 17th seed jose de sousa, but the portuguese player conjured up a remarkable comeback to snatch victory and seal his progress to the third round at alexandra palace. in tennis, venus williams has been handed a surprise wild card to compete at the australian open injanuary. the 42—year—old first played the event in 1997 and has reached the singles final twice, as well as winning five doubles grand slams at the event in melbourne. and that is just about it from us. we�*ll see you soon. hello. the start of the new week brought a big change in the weather. compare this picture of a snowy

scene in cumbria on saturday with this picture of the same scene on monday. the snow has been replaced by a big puddle. we saw cloud, we saw rain, we saw some much milder conditions. temperatures in north wales got very close to 16 celsius, lots of other places not too far behind. that mild air pushes up from the southwest with a lot of cloud and some outbreaks of quite heavy rain in places. as the stripe of cloud and rain clears away eastwards, we will see some slightly cooler air pushing in from the west, so those really high temperatures for monday are not going to last throughout the week ahead. equally, it�*s not going to be nearly as cold as it was just a few days ago. some cloud and rain in the southeast corner early on tuesday morning, but that will clear, and then we�*ll see sunny spells — scattered showers, too, especially in northern ireland and western scotland, mostly falling as rain, but some snow over the highest hills and mountains in scotland. windy in the far northwest, temperatures between 7—13 degrees,

so it is still mild for the time of year. as we go through tuesday night, there�*ll be some clear spells, but showers pushing in from the west — in fact, merging into longer spells of rain for some, particularly across parts of england and wales. temperatures down into single digits, but most places will avoid a frost. so, a soggy start to wednesday with this band of rain moving across central eastern parts of england, that clearing to a mix of sunny spells and showers. most of the showers through northern england, northern ireland and scotland — and temperatures between 7—11 degrees in most places. into thursday, it�*s likely that we�*ll see further showers or longer spells of rain drifting up across southern parts of england and the channel islands. northern scotland getting into a northerly wind, and it will start to feel a little bit colder. that is the set—up that takes us to the end of the week and into the start of the christmas weekend. a frontal system pushing in from the southwest,

but bumping into that colder air in northern scotland, perhaps giving a spell of snow. and then, that cold air in the north will try to push a little further southwards through the christmas period, but i think most places will stay relatively mild and there will be some rain at times.
