Papers we already have.

And the Daily Telegraph is one of a number of papers to feature a picture of the queen and Prince Philip on its front page as they celebrate 73 years of marriage. While, congratulations to them. Lets begin. As always, lovely to have you both with us. Digby, lets start with you this time. The telegraph, the mass vaccination centre. Weve been hearing for a week about the various different vaccines and the stages of efficiency theyre at, now were talking about this mask vaccination centre. Its a good article because it actually talks about the logistics issue. You report millions are available, these vaccines, loads of people reading it thinking, yes please. Therell be some silly people who will go, im not going to have that vaccine. Therell be some people who will do other stuff with their bodies every day that isnt pleasant, and yet they think thats all right, but they will do this. So, you have different parts of society all looking towards this
great day, but this great day is a logistics nightmare because youve got to get something which needs to be stored at 73 celsius and you have to get out to people and the article says, my word, not theirs. There will be a site in derby, they have of us silk the where they can store it they have a facility. Trained volunteers but certainly the paper carries the idea that a lot of people are being called back into medical profession when theyre retired. And itll be and from then, itll go out. We hope in months, five or six months time, it will just be months, five or six months time, it willjust be the norm. Get your coronavirus job, that is where wed love to be. The article talks about ina love to be. The article talks about in a logistical way, and that something we should all be aware of. There are pitfalls on this and its
not a government governing issue, its more an administrative issue behind government, and thats been a challenge throughout this pandemic. Its been a huge challenge on the front line. Behind the front line, its not the nhss finest moment in procurement. The reason i said all,. Public procurement. The reason i said all,. Public health procurement. The reason i said all,. Public Health EnglandCivil Service themselves, i dont think they are to blame. A lot of it is sadly due to either a Network Agencies and ive spoke to organisations, many whom have no experience and delivery. Weve seen all signs of fiascoes as a result. My concern is that some of those organisations, will get involved with mask vaccinating and will not deliver. I think these big organisations where local authorities or organisations that are trusted by local populations to be the ones who helped to distribute or deliver these vaccines as opposed to what weve seen over the past seven or eight months. By the organisations getting involved, some of which have no experience. Henry, to be fair, the local authorities, i think thats a good idea. Local authority doesnt have us tell experience in mass vaccination either. Distributing services at a local level. At least they are
local, people know them and there may be a better degree of trust and there might be. I must admit today earlier, i was speaking to a local contact tracer who was having more success potentially then he was describing. He was using local telephone numbers to contact people, and people were answering and it was and people were answering and it was a little bit easier, but before you quys a little bit easier, but before you guys completely take over this review, im going to grapple back control. Im going to battle back control. Im going to battle back control as boris is trying to say christmas, according to the daily express save christmas. Who was speaking last . Henry was. Henry. If henry didnt want to. This is getting silly, stop it right now this idea that we are talking about
vaccine, its such good news and we would love to have a normal situation. Its not going to be in time for christmas. Borisjohnson Boris Johnson trying borisjohnson trying to let the country have some sort of normality. The figures are saying potentially, not necessarily going in the same way. Let me take you four years, maybe three and a half years from now. If you have a crystal ball, yes. The one thing, i dont need a crystal ball for it, is to promise you that if there is a lockdown at christmas, there will be up. It wont talk about all the things about vaccination delivery and track and trace, you wont talk about that at all. But what it will talk about, boris, the man who cancelled christmas. And that is a prime ministerial election nightmare, and so ministerial election nightmare, and so what it will do now is anything. Even a mass of lockdown injanuary. Hell do anything so that the r rate is below one as we go into christmas, he then lets the country have christmas in a normal way and at the r rate will go up. That is a certainty if people come together and the price will be paid. And that, from a leadership point of view, perhaps, actually, ifi that, from a leadership point of view, perhaps, actually, if i may ta ke view, perhaps, actually, if i may take it away from politics, even in a country morale point of view, isnt a bad thing. Henry, what you think . We were talking about this yesterday as well. For every day people will have a more normalised, there will be a consequence throughout the cold months of january. Thats right. I think ratio one to five. 0ne january. Thats right. I think ratio one to five. One day we allow people to be normal over christmas, theres going to be a five day to pay. Digbys point, ferris would only fear things in digbys point, ferris would only fearthings ina digbys point, ferris would only fear things in a political since boris would only. If keir starmer and the labour party. Given that the labour party or keir starmer particularly has been more cautious than boris, i supposed boris would have beat him to it. The other thing he has to be concerned about is if the amount of the virus out here is higher than it needs to be,. As normal, very little social distancing, people will be climbing onto trains, gathering at home, moving between household, then we can pay an awful price in january. The lockdown will not be enough if we have a couple of thousand deaths. Its a sobering thought. Before you continue, lets bring in the sun. Were going to be out of time soon. 1 were going to be out of time soon. I millionjobs a day were going to be out of time soon. I million jobs a day and whatever you think about what will happen in the next few weeks, one thing we can say is the work that the scientists are doing to get these vaccines through at such high speed is just incredible i millionjabs. Britain is one of the great homes of research. We are one of the top two or three in the world, and its great to see 0xford, imperial london and local companies all over trying to get them going. Well done, america, well done, germany, but
seeing massive ingenuity by which i dont mean as opposed to women, i mean mankind, i see that work to the benefit is a wonderful thing. But im with henry on the idea that if people just are released, im with henry on the idea that if peoplejust are released, the im with henry on the idea that if people just are released, the death rate and the lockdown harm will be enormous injanuary rate and the lockdown harm will be enormous in january and rate and the lockdown harm will be enormous injanuary and february, and that will, due to the conclusion, the sun is meeting on vaccines and the telegraph article, but there has to be a degree of responsibility from the public. The second wave has come around the world, but its been particularly exacerbated in britain because we have high obesity levels, and certain communities in the country who dont believe the rules apply to them. Then you get the trouble, and
that will happen again at christmas if were not careful. Governments can do lots and whether its if were not careful. Governments can do lots and whether its public or private sector, we can all do lots. If you dont get the general public taking responsibility for their own actions, as opposed to blaming everybody else and thinking that its always someone else to blame, if we dont get a general public thinking, henry is right. The price to be paid will be enormous. Public thinking, henry is right. The price to be paid will be enormouslj think price to be paid will be enormous. think theres going to be a few stu d e nts think theres going to be a few students who, if they are watching, im sure theres lots of young people watching thatll be throwing stuff at the screen. Unlike a lot of university s, the bbc dont know platform people. Welcome to freedom. They can have their arguments and i can have mine. As well as students who are really well behaved and responsible and doing their stuff, there have been stu d e nts doing their stuff, there have been students that arent. And that is true. If its inconvenient, im sorry, but its true. Iwas true. If its inconvenient, im sorry, but its true. I was watching the reviews and there is a report on the reviews and there is a report on the brighter students and the focus on manchester. The students were unhappy because they were the ones who are told by their chancellor who,. And they were jam packed and student accommodations. There was no way they would not pass it each other. They feel really badly let down by the universities. Some feel like they are living in prison and giving a really dull getting a really raw deal. I bet part of that
is true. Im not saying we shouldnt be doing this with a broad brush, but when you see pictures of stu d e nts but when you see pictures of students together, crowned together outside demonstrating and partying and Everything Else crammed together, i am entitled to think thatis together, i am entitled to think that is irresponsible. Henry, ill forgive you for not watching the bbc news channel in between the paper reviews. Thats a really good point. Any students out there, lord digby jones is available on twitter so you can speak to him directly. Lets move on to the times. All of this is incredibly expensive and were awaiting rishi sunaks spending review. The focus here is the Public Sector workers will have to pay for it, not front line workers in the nhs, but other Public Sector workers. 3. 7 Million People
ina Public Sector workers. 3. 7 Million People in a Public Sector, that would take around {3. 4 billion if you consider how much money thats being spent over the past seven or so months. Holidays, this is going to be a very long. The chancellor has to be very careful because if he goes too ha rd very careful because if he goes too hard and tightens things too much, for a huge number of people, hard and tightens things too much, fora huge number of people, it hard and tightens things too much, for a huge number of people, it will depress demand. Digby was talking about the people getting out there in the private sector and other spending money, generating economic turn and paying for Public Services with their taxes. People havent got any money, i dont feel they can spend because a pay for many millions of them. That will make it
even more difficult to generate the income tax we need in order to power Public Services at a time we are going through the greatest recession in memory. The gardening and is focusing on that too the guardian. The gardening and is focusing on that too the guardian. You would expect the guardian to attack this and take the Public Sectors side. Welcome to free press. But the concept of giving money to the Public Sector from the taxpayer, not to give it back to the government to give it back to the government to give it back to the government is a true are but it doesnt create wealth. Their wealth is created by the private sector. The wealth is created in the nation, not created by the Public Sector, is created by the private sector. And it pays tax. The employee pay tax and some of that goes to incredibly, hard working that goes to incredibly, ha rd working that goes to incredibly, hard working incredibly hard working incredibly hard working people hard working incredibly ha rd working people in hard working incredibly hard working people in the Public Sector. The concept by only the private sector has to take the pain of redundancies, of furlough, of worry and not spending, and the Public Sector, i completely exclude the front line totally, notjust nurses and doctors and care workers, bless them, but also policemen and firefighters. But if you come out of the front line, actually, there are millions of people working in the Public Sector who this hasnt affected at all. They might work from home but they havent actually lost theirjobs over this, so it is only fair that every part of society does something towards repairing the finances of the country, and im not saying for a minute there should be no pay rises. What im saying is
every pa rt no pay rises. What im saying is every part of society has got to do their bit. Were not going to get there all the papers, so lets get your last word because youre shaking your once again. Itsjust this notion of the back of this person in the hospital or school or elsewhere who is not really doing anything. Just costing the taxpayer money. When you ask people to identify people, nobody ever can. wouldnt say get rid of them. Im just saying they are part of the effort that has to be made. Gentlemen, i am going to say it is the end of our time together. Thank you very much for a very robust conversation, as always. Have a very good rest of your evening and thank you very much for watching us here on the papers. Both of our guests are on twitter. Bye bye for now. Good evening, im Chetan Pathak with your sports news. First to the governments £300 million emergency package thats been announced for sports in england that have been affected by the absence of crowds because of coronavirus. Rugby union is the biggest beneficiary receiving 135 million but not all sports are getting financial assistance. Heres our Sports Editor dan roan. Behind closed doors, the action continued from racing at chelmsford to atp tour finals tennis at the 02 arena in london but with no gate receipts since march, sport are facing an unprecedented financial crisis, and today came a rescue kit to help them survive the winter. This package alone compares very favourably, we believe it is the most generous single package of any country around the world. You gave more than five times more than that amount to the arts in the summer so what would you say
to those who think thats unfair . First of all, it is worth remembering we have provided well over £1 billion worth of support for sports already in everything like thejob retention scheme, various loan facilities. It is our assessment of working with the sport to see what they need to compensate them for that. Sale sharks prepare for the new season this weekend. Premiership Rugby Union Clubs like this will share £59 million and for them, it is a lifeline. In principle it is absolutely a necessity, we cant survive. And part of the fabric of everyday life is playing sport as a hobby and for us it is professional but we see what goes back into the community from professional sports. Really warranted. 1 sports will receive funding, most of its loans with rugby union the biggest winner, accounting for almost half of the 300 million bail out with horse racing getting a0 million, 25 million for non league mens football and 3 million
for the womens game. Badminton was delighted to get £2 million while there was i million for greyhound racing. But mens elite football is missing, the government exist after spending more than £1 billion in the transfer window premier league clubs can afford to support their counterparts in the football league. The government insists. A deal is edging closer and they are even hoping that some fans could be back inside the stadium as soon as next month. There is a chance that in lower risk areas, if we can do it in a safe way, we might at least begin to start the process of seeing fans come back. People could be incentivised to have the test because if they test negative they would have a window to be able to go in and to see their home game, to see the side playing in the government would win because we get more people tested and see where the disease is. The news today is a major result for lots of sports but for imperilled swimming pools, gyms and community clubs, the future remains uncertain and demands for
grassroots sport to be allowed to reopen from next month is sure to intensify. Dan roan, bbc news. The Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has ended speculation around his future after signing a two Year Contract extension that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2023. His current deal was set to expire at the end of this season. Guardiolas won six major trophies sincejoining the club four years ago, including two premier league titles, leading the club to an unprecedented clean sweep of all domestic titles in 2019. Footballs world governing body fifa could impose transfer bans on clubs who dont meet their new rules around maternity cover. Players will be entitled to at least 111 weeks of maternity cover on at least two thirds of their salary. Its less than what uk law outlines but is being described as an essential step for the sport in protecting female players. The proposed regulations need approval next month. England have been paired with rivals france in the group stages of next years womens rugby world cup. The draw, which took place earlier this evening, has put the two sides in pool c along with south africa and fiji. Meanwhile, wales will face reigning world champions and hosts, new zealand, as well as australia in pool a. The tournament begins next september. As a player, you want to be challenged in playing the best teams that there are a you know certainly france is one that there are and you know certainly france is one of the best teams in the world and if we want to win the world cup, who had to play the best teams. We have to play the best teams. If they are in our pool, that is a task and that is what we will be focused on. The grandson of former england cricketer ian botham will make his debut for wales this weekend. Cardiff blues flanker james botham will start in saturdays autumn nations cup game against georgia. He was only called up to the squad on monday as head coach wayne pivac
makes 13 changes to the side that lost last weekend, which was their sixth straight defeat. England head coach eddiejones has kept captain 0wen farrell at ten for their match with ireland. George ford will start on the bench as he returns from injury. Maro itoje, tom curry, sam underhill, mako vuinpola and Kyle Sinckler return to the starting 15. 0llie lawrence will make his second england start in an unchanged back line from the win over georgia. Wigan warriors are in to next weeks grand final after a comfortable win over hull fc. They thrashed the visitors 29 2 with bevan French Crossing for their fifth try of the match. Theyll face either st helens or catala ns in the grand final next friday. And Andrey Rublev beat Dominic Thiem in their last round robin match at the 02 in london. The match was a dead rubber as the us open champion thiem had already qualified for the semi finals. Rublev, who was already out, won the first set 6 2 and sewed up
the match, winning the second 7 5. That is all your sport. All of todays tennis news from the atp finals is on the bbc sport website, including nadal against tsitsipas. But from me and the rest of the team for now, goodnight. Hello there. The short lived cold snap, its on its way out now, as we start to see mild air making inroads off of the atlantic but laden with moisture. Well see a lot more cloud and outbreaks of rain spreading eastwards across the country during the course of today. You can see the cold air still looms across the eastern side of the country to begin today, but gradually, that milder air will move in on a strengthening west southwesterly breeze. So it starts off dry and chilly, maybe some early brightness in the east. Very soon, the cloud thickens, with patchy rain spreading eastwards. Thickens, with patchy rain mainly light and patchy, a few heavier bursts across scotland,
perhaps even some brief wintriness briefly over the higher ground, before that mild air moves in. The winds also picking up, particularly out across the north west, gusts of a0 to 45 miles an hour into the evening. And here, it will be turning milder by the end of the day i2, 13 degrees but further east, still quite chilly under that cloud and rain. But as we head through the course of tonight, it does look like itll turn milderfor all. It stays rather cloudy, but drier for england and wales. Scotland, Northern Ireland, a new cold front will be sinking southwards, bringing outbreaks of rain. Behind it, it will turn cooler with some blustery showers, but double figure values for most. So into the weekend, then, weve got that new cold front sinking southeastwards across the country gradually. Behind it, the air will be turning cooler. And along that cold front, there will be a band of cloud and some patchy rain moving out of Northern Ireland and into southern scotland and heading south into england and wales throught the day. Behind it, skies brighten up. Well see sunny spells but some blustery showers for scotland and Northern Ireland. Itll be very windy here, particularly northern scotland, with widespread gales. So, turning a bit cooler later
in the day across the north, but mild for england and wales. Quite a bit of cloud around, 13 14 degrees. That cold front then moves southwards and ends up lingering across southern england on sunday, but behind it, youll notice were in that cooler air mass, so it could be cloudy across southern england throughout the day. But for much of the country, actually bright on sunday with some good spells of sunshine. But it stays breezy in the north, with further blustery showers across northern and western scotland. Winds lighter in the south. Those temperatures lower than on saturday 8 to around 10 or 11 degrees in the south. And then as we head on into next week, it looks like it turns milder again, with south southwesterly winds moving in, but a low pressure system will bring outbreaks of rain, particularly to the north and the west of the country
