this is bbc news, the headlines... russia has acknowledged the deaths of 63 servicemen in a ukrainian attack in the occupied donetsk region on new year's eve. kyiv claims hundreds were killed in the strikes on a building where russian soldiers were stationed. senior doctors in the uk are warning that some hospital accident and emergency departments are in a "complete state of crisis" due to the extreme pressures facing the national health service this winter. a number of hospitals have declared critical incidents. three people have died after fire broke out at a hotel in perth in scotland. emergency services, including 21 ambulance crews and nine fire trucks, were called to the incident. thousands have waited in line to pay their respects to brazilian football legend pele,

who's lying in state at the ground of his former club, santos. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are kevin schofield, who's political editor of huffpost uk and eleanor langford, political reporter at politicshome. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the ft leads with its annual survey of uk economists — finding a majority believe the recession here will be worse than in other countries. the i reports comments by a leading health boss that extreme pressure on hospitals will continue for at least another three months.
11:32 pm
the mirror's take is that the future of the nhs is on a knife edge. the times quotes a government source as saying the current wave of rail strikes will turn a generation away from train travel. the telegraph leads with prince harry's latest round of interviews — and his claim that he wants reconciliation with his father and brother. the mail has the same story about prince harry — and also includes tennis star martina navratilova's diagnosis of cancer. while the sun is highly critical of harry saying he's slating the royal family on tv, and then wanting to make peace. so let's begin... kevin, eleanor, thank you for joining us, we are going to start with the misery that is the ft�*s forecast. kevin, it is notjust a miserable forecast, it is the fact
11:33 pm
that four out of five economists share the view that britain is really, almost at the bottom of the barrel in terms of getting through this recession.— this recession. yes, as we know, economists _ this recession. yes, as we know, economists don't _ this recession. yes, as we know, economists don't always - this recession. yes, as we know, economists don't always seem i this recession. yes, as we know, i economists don't always seem eye this recession. yes, as we know, - economists don't always seem eye to eye but there is a consensus hey, over 100 economist were asked by the ft annually to give the forecast for the months ahead and it is pretty grim reading. if you arejeremy hunt, just about every possible metric britain is going to do badly, in terms of interest rates, inflation, gdp, growth, or lack of growth, i should say, compared to other g7 countries. it is safe to say they that the uk is not alone in experiencing economic difficulties at the moment, not least because of the after—effects of a pandemic and the after—effects of a pandemic and the ongoing war in ukraine. however,
11:34 pm
what makes the uk is an outlier is the fact that it appears to be particularly badly affected by those factors as well as policy choices made by the government over the last few years, it has left britain in a precarious position are not able to weather these particular storms so i think we are in for a pretty rough next 12 months.— next 12 months. elinor, the government's _ next 12 months. elinor, the government's perspective l next 12 months. elinor, the - government's perspective would be that the pandemic is a global problem and has caused many other problems, ripples from that, ukraine is a global problem, these cannot be pinned onjust is a global problem, these cannot be pinned on just government policy, but i did note that the ft described it as most of those they spoke to also pointed to bracks —— and effective public services and damage to trade to brexit.— to trade to brexit. there is no den in: to trade to brexit. there is no denying that _ to trade to brexit. there is no denying that the _ to trade to brexit. there is no denying that the war - to trade to brexit. there is no denying that the war in - to trade to brexit. there is no i denying that the war in ukraine, to trade to brexit. there is no - denying that the war in ukraine, the pandemic, _ denying that the war in ukraine, the pandemic, the global downturn that everyone _ pandemic, the global downturn that everyone is experiencing is

11:37 pm
we will have the weakest one among the g7, so things will pick up at some point would seem to be the economists thinking.— economists thinking. yes, all recessions — economists thinking. yes, all recessions and _ economists thinking. yes, all recessions and comedy - economists thinking. yes, all recessions and comedyjust l economists thinking. yes, all recessions and comedyjust a j recessions and comedyjust a question of how much damage they leave in their wake, i guess. it does seem as though ours will last longer than other countries. we are not alone in going through these difficulties right now but it looks as though these economic forecasts if they are to be believed, that we will be experiencing pain forjust that little bit longer than our competitive nations. itjust means that 2023 is effectively a right of and we are going to have to look to 2024. the and we are going to have to look to 202k. the politics of that is very 202a. the politics of that is very interesting. the general election we expect to be in 2024 so if we are still in the corner —— in the economic doldrums this time next year, think the chances of a spring election probably recedes and we are
11:38 pm
looking at the back end of 2024, the government will try to give themselves time to show the economy is on the up before they think about going to the elections.— going to the elections. you've both been talking _ going to the elections. you've both been talking about _ going to the elections. you've both been talking about it _ going to the elections. you've both been talking about it here, - going to the elections. you've both been talking about it here, the - been talking about it here, the causes of these problems, dan coyle, professor at cambridge university, he closes the front page by saying that the uk is no structural hole, not a cyclical downturn, and i guess you would concur with that? yes. you would concur with that? yes, obviously. _ you would concur with that? yes, obviously. i— you would concur with that? yes, obviously, i am _ you would concur with that? yes, obviously, i am not _ you would concur with that? yes, obviously, i am not an _ you would concur with that? yes, obviously, i am not an economist so i obviously, i am not an economist so i defer— obviously, i am not an economist so i defer to— obviously, i am not an economist so i deferto their obviously, i am not an economist so i defer to theirjudgment but the impression getting does seem to be that there _ impression getting does seem to be that there is something going on with how— that there is something going on with how the uk is operating right now, _ with how the uk is operating right now, public services, our economy, trade _ now, public services, our economy, trade relations, that is making this worse~ _ trade relations, that is making this worse and — trade relations, that is making this worse. and like i said it is up to the politicians to debate this but the politicians to debate this but the fact— the politicians to debate this but the fact is that this is a structural issue, these are things that can — structural issue, these are things that can be — structural issue, these are things that can be changed, that can be tinkered — that can be changed, that can be tinkered with in coming decades but

11:40 pm
to other am a where they face a slightly shorter wait, it is a property measurable set of circumstances. we are also experiencing high rates of flu, covid is still around, scarlet fever my people are being urged to wear masks if you think you have got the flu, don't go to work, just to try and take that pressure off hospitals as much as possible to try and limit the spread of these viruses while we are in fleece season, so, we were told this was coming, every year pretty much we get a warning that the nhs struggling, but it is come true sadly this year and a bit like the economy, it is not going to get better any time soon. this the economy, it is not going to get better any time soon.— better any time soon. this idea, eleanor, better any time soon. this idea, eleanor. of _ better any time soon. this idea, eleanor, of patients _ better any time soon. this idea, eleanor, of patients shopping i better any time soon. this idea, - eleanor, of patients shopping around for a better queue is not a great picture, is it? but there is a hint of suggestion from health chiefs, as the i is describing them, that maybe

11:42 pm
on the line in the times is that millions will shun trains for ever, and that is based on five days of us, it starts from midnight, so it will kick in very quickly indeed. and the times does help to put some picture on this sort of push me pull you between the government and the unions. , ., , unions. yes, the pr battle, really, between the _ unions. yes, the pr battle, really, between the unions _ unions. yes, the pr battle, really, between the unions and _ unions. yes, the pr battle, really, between the unions and the - between the unions and the government is now in full swing. as you say, we are on the verge of days are more of industrial action, it feels like this strike has been going on for ever and it doesn't look like it will end in the near future, certainly, government sources are quoted in the times as saying, as the headline says, people are effectively going to lose the habit of using trains and no longer being able to rely on them so they will not bother with trains in future. this is try to send a message to go over the head of the
11:43 pm
union leaders straight to the members saying, you are damaging your own industry here by taking this industrial action, if you want to basically enter rail travel in this country, then you are going the right way about it. on the flip side of that, mick lynch but the rmt has posted today as accusing the government of blocking any hopes of a deal, the government position has always been it is not them that has to come up with a solution, it is between the unions and the employer, but clearly the government has a key role to play in it at the government really wanted this strike to end, they cleared, it might cost a lot of money, but we could knock a few heads together, come up with extra cash and lo and behold the strikes would end. but it doesn't look as though that is on the table. and it doesn't appear to be at imminent resolution in sight and all the while, commuters are facing the

11:50 pm
hello, there. this is your update from the bbc sport centre. liverpool lost valuable ground in the race for the top four in the premier league. they were beaten 3—1 by brentford, the result ending their four—match winning streak, with brentford on their best top—flight run in 80 years. patrick geary reports. the show brentford fans have been witnessing is more dazzling than anything their clubs managed in a lifetime. the world now sees them in a new light. as a team that can surprise even liverpool. it's gone in off ben mee! in fact, as he acknowledged, it wasn't mee but in fact ibrahima konate's knee which made the difference. the half would be dominated by replays. twice, yoan wissa would see goals disallowed for offside. but after this header, the technology brought him better news. it was two. easy for this to seem a dream, and in the second half, back, inevitably, came liverpool. alex 0xlade—chamberlain's goal reflected a new urgency. after all, this season, jurgen klopp's side have given themselves much to do. and in the last ten minutes, they found themselves
11:51 pm
suddenly overworked. bryan mbeumo, brentford hero. despite liverpool's objections, the goal stood. a famous brentford victory was confirmed, and what started as a light show finished as a disco. patrick gearey, bbc news. i can't praise the players enough. incredible effort, attitude, the hard work, the togetherness. everything they put together to beat a team like liverpool. obviously we defended very well in the low block, very aggressive when we go high. and then we know we are so good when we play behind them and run behind them. simply impressive that we beat city away, draw with tottenham where we should have won, beat west ham and now liverpool. we should have scored tonight an awful lot of goals, when we go direct, when we have runs in behind we were pretty much always very dangerous. first half, the chance darwin has,
11:52 pm
the chance kostas has. i don't know if it was offside or not. but in the end, it became the game they wanted, much less the game we wanted, obviously. in scotland, rangers were two minutes away from winning the old firm derby and reducing the gap on celtic at the top of the premiership to six points. celtic had taken an early lead but rangers fought back with this goalfrom ryan kent, and a james tanzania penalty. but ange postecoglou's side refused to be beaten right in the closing stages when kyogo furuhashi salvaged a point for celtic. it means celtic remain nine points clear of their rivals. and it's a big part of this team, not the first time we've done it, and it won't be the last. 2—1 away from home at ibrox, it's going to be hard to get back into it, but like i said, the lads have shown tremendous character
11:53 pm
all the way through. you know, again, when the moment was required, they stepped up. still 18 games to go, all we can control is what we do. if we have a second half of the year like a first half, we won't have to worry about anybody else. i thought second half we were fantastic. to come into the club five weeks ago with all the injury and the doubt, we've taken away a lot of the doubt. we need to play at this level consistently and win games consistently as well. a lot of football to be played. we are no further ahead than we were five weeks ago in the league, but the performance level and in our mind, maybe one or two steps ahead. the only five points clear at the top after a 2—1win. a free kick put them ahead at the liberty burnley are five points clear at the top after a 2—1win. a free kick put them ahead at the liberty

hello there. today has been a largely dry day with more sunshine around, but it's also been colder. as we head into tomorrow, the weather's going to look and feel very different. temperatures will be higher, the winds will be stronger. and we've got more cloud and some rain coming in as well. this was the window of calmer weather that we've been in. but if we look out in the atlantic, all this cloud is massing and this is where our weather's coming from. a few weather fronts will bring not just thicker cloud, but some rain in from the atlantic, more visible, some stronger winds. in from the atlantic, more isobars, some stronger winds. but the winds are coming all the way from the azores, hence those higher temperatures. before that cloud and rain, we've got clearer skies at the moment and it will be cold with an early frost. temperatures perhaps below freezing just briefly across the midlands and east anglia, and then temperatures recover later as we see the cloud coming in, the winds picking up and this rain arriving, which will turn to snow over higher parts of scotland as we engage what's left of that colder air across this part of the country.
