with me are the former fleet street editor, eve pollard and the director of thejohn smith centre at glasgowity & former scottish labour leader, kezia dugdale. let's ta ke let's take a look through those front pages. let's take a look through those front pages. the daily mail says borisjohnson is faceing the first signs of revolt from the his so—called ‘red wall‘ mps — over covid laws in the north. the guardian reports that tory mps in northern england say the covid—i9 pandemic has exposed what they describe as "the deep structural and systemic disadvantage faced by their communities". and the ‘i' says more than 50 of those conservative mps are demanding a ‘clear road map‘ for northern areas of england — that have been hardest hit by increased coronavirus restrictions. the daily telegraph reports immunity to covid—i9 may only last a matter of a months, according to research that could hinder the roll—out of a successful vaccine. the daily mirror shows a picture of the prime minister dishing up hot food, as he refuses to change policy on free holiday meals for disadvantaged children. while th

joining me tonight are the former fleet street editor, eve pollard, and the director of thejohn smith centrea dugdale. it is 60 minutes the headlines on bbc news... nottingham and parts of the surrounding county will move into tier 3 — the top tier of covid restrictions — from midnight on thursday. the prime minister defends his refusal to extend free school meal vouchers for pupils during the holidays. the welsh government says tesco was "simply wrong" to tell a woman she could not buy period products — as it defends its lockdown rules. sport now and a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. good evening. let's start with tonight's football first, and in the first of the evening's premier league games, west brom scored a second half equaliser, as they drew 1—1 at brighton. brighton went ahead after a real mix up in the west brom defence. branislav ivanovic‘s attempted clearanace hitting jake livermore and going in. but west brom drew level in the second half with new signing karlan grant scoring his first goal for the club. the other game this evening between burnley and tottenham kicked

i do not support is the medicare public option and most recently, i believe nancy pelosi and centre tina smithave come out in support of that and those reimbursement rates which would be coinciding with that public option plan would be harmful to our rural hospitals so that is something i would not support. >> i support the public option -- i don't support the public option as well and did not vote for it. the bigger threat to public hospitals is not the option, it is what they are trying to do in critical access hospital funding. back in 2003, bill thomas asked me to work with him on his medicare bill. i said if you don't help -- if you help me with critical access , i will help you. so he went to work he put 38 billion at the end of that bill for rural hospitals and critical access. we have reimbursement set at 100% of their cost. not be here would today if we had not done that. the problem is the administration and others in congress are trying to cut that 101% down to 90% and that is the biggest threat to these rural hospitals, bar none. >> do you have a response to that, and also the medi

smith is glasgow. sarah. this is very definitely not what the centre of glasgow usually looks like at this time on a friday nighty quiet. and although this is not a return to a total lockdown, anything but, it still feels really pretty grim. last orders, folks! calling time at six o'clock in scotland. all bars in central scotla nd scotland. all bars in central scotland are now closed for 16 days. in other parts of the country, alcohol can only be served outside. most of my friends are angry about the whole thing. i mean, they feel as if they're being penalised. you've got to do something. although, i'm not entirely convinced that the pub's the problem. i think it's quite sad. but probably for the best! staff can be furloughed on 60% of their wages and the scottish government will spend £40 million to help the hospitality sector. but many feel the new restrictions are unnecessary and unfair. this is a very safe, controlled environment. we've got measures in place that prevent infection. we've not had any cases of infection in here since we opened injuly and ijust feel that maybe people are being encouraged to go

centres, but two people from different hoseholds cannot take part in a single tennis activity and that seems ridiculous, given the current climate these facilities are operating in. celebrity chef delia smith the joint majority shareholder of championship side norwich — and last night, some fans were allowed into the bar at carrow road to watch their match at brentford live on a big screen, and smith told the local bbc station that made no sense. please, sir, can we have our football back? because, because, stewart, it is just shocking that we can't have our supporters in the stand. we can have them in here, butt we can't have them out in the fresh air, well—spaced, tested. we did a wonderful sort of trial run and it worked like a dream, and we can't understand why we're not allowed to do it. frustrating for a lot of clubs and fans, of course. that's all the sport for now. more later. lovely, thank you very much. nottingham and the surrounding cou nty nottingham and the surrounding county will move into the top tier of restrictions, people in the city along with rushcliffe and broxtowe face the toughest restrictions, the measures come into force at one minute past midnight tomorrow. i am j
