also knighted, the artist grayson perry. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are geri scott, political reporter at the times, and broadcasterjohn stapleton. we will say hello to both in just a moment. first, though, let's take a look at those front pages. the telegraph focuses on the return of covid tests for travellers to the uk from china, amid worries over the spread of the virus. the mail calls the new controls "drastic" but says they've been brought in because of concern beijing is withholding data. the times leads with a warning that middle—aged people are dying from heart conditions because they didn't get common medication during the pandemic. the express has obtained figures

showing more than 700 prisoners have either escaped or been released in error over the last decade. as the year ends, the ft points out how far many stock markets around the world have fallen this year. the mirror looks at the new year honours — with guitarist brian may and the england lionesses among those recognised. for the sun, that story is simply "king knights queen". while the daily star is worried about arctic weather bringing a return to freezing conditions in the uk. their headline — "polar brrr". so let's get started. like to get through. good evening, both. thanks very much forjoining us. we will start, john, with you on this coverage. we have been talking about everything stemming from the fact that china is opening up its borders again and, with the massive surge, it seems, of cases they are,

governments around the world are taking action and the daily telegraph headline is... yes, something — telegraph headline is... yes, something of _ telegraph headline is... yes, something of a _ telegraph headline is... yes, something of a u-turn - telegraph headline is... yes, something of a u-turn by - telegraph headline is... yes, something of a u-turn by mr| telegraph headline is... 133 something of a u—turn by mr sunak, because until today, our government was saying, no need for any measures of this kind because the variant that china has is already here, so need for any measure of this nature. now of course they've changed their mind. bit of a u—turn and as i say, so anyone coming into london or coming into england, anyway, from china will have to have a test showing negative to covid. i suggest england, because health is an evolved issue, and technically speaking this order only applies to england, but i suppose since all flights from china, to include in any way, it is effectively a uk wide as it were. as you say, being brought in as a temporary measure because there is some concern that china is not coming clean on the

extent of the problem in its country. it said yesterday there is only 5000 cases, reports are that there have been some delay 18 million cases and 100,000 deaths, and not being as candid as they might be about the extent of the problem or indeed whether they have a new variant in china. so as a temporary measure, as a precautionary measure, mr sunak and, i am sure on the advice of his medical experts, has decided this measure should come into force. the front -a~e measure should come into force. the front page of the daily telegraph, in the third or fourth paragraph down, does point out something interesting, which is that one of senior scientific advisers says that border tests were pointless, as they did not stop the spread of the virus, and there is no current evidence of a new variant in china, geri. , , ~ ., ., geri. this is kind of the opinion that it did _ geri. this is kind of the opinion that it did not _ geri. this is kind of the opinion that it did not help _ geri. this is kind of the opinion that it did not help last - geri. this is kind of the opinion that it did not help last time i that it did not help last time probably not quite up this time. ——

hospitalforfear to hospital i didn't want to go to hospital for fear of getting covid themselves, did not consult their gp or only did online, in any event, did not get the proper guidance they required. that coupled with the fact that during covid, people's lifestyles, or some people's, change quite dramatically, they were not doing as much as has as they could doing as much as has as they could do a more negative the proper medication they should have, and the online factor —— could do, not getting the proper medication that should have... it has led to this increase number of deaths. it is quite alarming, really, particularly for people of my generation and people like myself who rely on this kind of medication, which thankfully i did get, and fingers crossed i'm 0k. 0ne i did get, and fingers crossed i'm 0k. one of the long—term repercussions of covid two years on. geri, a huge political challenge for the government because the nhs is under pressure from so many angles.

this is not going to help, where we see a _ this is not going to help, where we see a layover from covid, i am sure. a backlog _ see a layover from covid, i am sure. a backlog in — see a layover from covid, i am sure. a backlog in surgeries, and mental health— a backlog in surgeries, and mental health and — a backlog in surgeries, and mental health and many other areas that the nhs is _ health and many other areas that the nhs is under pressure on at the moment, — nhs is under pressure on at the moment, and as you mentioned there, the health— moment, and as you mentioned there, the health service already bursting at the _ the health service already bursting at the seams, coming to grips with hi-h at the seams, coming to grips with high levels — at the seams, coming to grips with high levels of sickness, staff shortages, the money the health service _ shortages, the money the health service needs to get back on track. so service needs to get back on track. 50 it— service needs to get back on track. 50 it is— service needs to get back on track. 50 it is a _ service needs to get back on track. so it is a massive political challenge, a massive political problem, for rishi sunak antigovernment, and i think what is quite _ antigovernment, and i think what is quite interesting is there's a bit of a understandable collective kind of a understandable collective kind of misremembering about how terrified — of misremembering about how terrified everyone was during the pandemic, the peak of the pandemic, notiust_ pandemic, the peak of the pandemic, not just that — pandemic, the peak of the pandemic, notjust that they pandemic, the peak of the pandemic, not just that they could not go to the hospital or might get ill if they— the hospital or might get ill if they went to hospital, they could not get _ they went to hospital, they could not get a — they went to hospital, they could not get a gp appointment, but actually— not get a gp appointment, but actually a _ not get a gp appointment, but actually a lot of people could not

reveal the according to one expression on your channel earlier on, donald trump is not quite the two vessel businessmen he would have you believe and maybe it is that these returns are so low and nonexistent because his company has lost so much money, the casino business apparel he lost an absolute fortune. that could be his justification. 0ne fortune. that could be his justification. one has to point out that there is no suggestion he did anything illegal, and if he had, he should have been apprehended so far. but by now i agree with geri, i do not think there is any indication it will harm him full tub -- his —— his preferred candidates did not do well in the midterms, no added support, but at the end of the day, i do not think will make any significant difference. it is what people more or less expected, it has confirmed that, and as geri said, is

he encountered little resistance from fellow dutchman dirk van divenburder, cruising to a four sets to one victory at alexandra palace. he plays chris dobey next. the new year's honours has been revealed tonight, with four of england's victorious lionesses from the summer's euros recognised along with head coach sarina wiegman. 2000 olympic hepathlon champion denise lewis made a dame for services to sport — including helping to organise the commonwealth games this year in her home city of birmingham. 0ur sports news correspondent laura scott has more. england, european champions! they roared their way to a memorable victory in the euros, bringing pride to english football. now, some of the leaders of the lionesses have been honoured — captain leah williamson becoming an 0be, while player of the tournament beth mead has been made an mbe along with team—mates ellen white and lucy bronze. football achievements, i think only football fans will probably understand them, whereas an mbe is something highly recognised in

england by many people. like, my grandma probably understands it a lot more than she understands when i won the fifa best player of the world. so, yeah, it's got a different feeling, and it's something that i think, yeah, for my family especially, it'll make them very proud. the summer of sporting celebrations on home soil didn't stop there, as the commonwealth games lit up birmingham. many of those who helped organise the games have been recognised, including 0lympic heptathlon champion and president for services to sport. i'm beside myself. i'm overwhelmed. i'm delighted and immensely proud. i do believe that it is my duty to behave and act and inspire. sport has taught me some of the most amazing values and given me the most amazing values, and so those are the things i try to impart when i'm

representing my sport and the sporting community. it's what i believe in. and it has changed my life. two of scotland's top footballers have been made mbes, for their charity work as well as their on—field success. liverpool defender andy robertson has helped offer free football coaching to children in scotland, while arsenal'sjen beattie has been honoured for her work raising awareness around breast cancer following her diagnosis two years ago. it's something that i knew was the right thing to do at the time and i'm so proud that i did that and raised such a big awareness and for something that really matters to me, so to be recognised in that respect is really special. there are honours, too, for england's most capped netballer jade clarke and world champion cyclist lizzie deignan, who have both become mbes. but it's football that dominates the sporting honours to cap off 2022,

the year of the lionesses. laura scott, bbc news. yeah, congratulations to all of them. plenty of details on the other sporting honours on the bbc sport website, but from me and the team, have a very good night. hello again. we've got some big weather contrasts around on saturday, which, of course, is new year's eve. now, for england and wales, it's going to be a mild day, but there'll be some heavy rain around. colder air across northern areas, and in scotland, that will bring some snow. so very different air masses across the country at the moment. strong south—westerly winds bringing the mild air across england and wales, but the colder air in scotland will continue to bring some snow showers in here. so, weather—wise, next few hours, risk of some icy stretches in scotland. could see a few centimetres of snow building in over the hills here in places. further southwards, we've got this area of rain around

across england and wales. but look at these temperatures as we head into the early morning on new year's eve — 10, 11, 12 celsius. very, very mild indeed. and through the rest of saturday, it's going to stay mild across england and wales. there will be more rain coming and going. now, the grounds saturated across the south of england and wales, and this rain could actually lead to some areas of localised surface water flooding. very mild, 12 to 14 degrees in places through the afternoon. but the colder air in scotland, where there will be some places that struggle to see temperatures much above freezing. now, running closer to those new year celebrations, midnight — hogmanay, of course — we've got this area of rain extending across northern ireland, northern england, showers following to the south, where it stays quite breezy and mild. now, as this rain band starts to move into the colder air in scotland, we might actually start to see it turn to snow. there is quite a bit of uncertainty about this one, but we could see some heavy snow not just affecting some of the hillier areas, but maybe also getting down to some lower levels.

as i say, there is a degree of uncertainty in that kind of forecast, but stay in touch with the weather if you live in scotland and you're worried about those snowy conditions heading into new year's day. new year's day itself, it stays quite cold in scotland. any snow will slowly begin to fizzle in intensity. further southwards, we've got the mild air with us again. still a few showers around, but those temperatures, 12, 13 celsius. that's still around 5 celsius above the december average. now, beyond that, generally, those south—westerly winds will continue to blow across much of the uk well into the start of the new year. so it's going to be quite cloudy at times with outbreaks of rain. quite breezy but, on the whole, staying on the mild side. bye— bye.

this is bbc news. i'm lewis vaughanjones with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. donald trump's tax returns while he was president are released by the democrats — showing he paid zero during his last year in the white house. although these tax returns contained relatively little information the radical democrats behaviour is a shame upon the us congress. i'll ask a former republican congressional staffer what — if anything — these revelations could mean for donald trump as he tries to win back the white house. also ahead... the ukjoins a growing list of countries imposing new covid restrictions on arrivals from china. controversial online influencer andrew tate is remanded in custody in romania, as part of an investigation into allegations of human trafficking and rape. and brazil lights up in honour of pele on the first of three
