Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are uk trade and economics correspondent for politico, anna isaac, and Chief Executive of the think tank new Economics Foundation and former labour adviser, miatta fahnbulleh. Tomorrows front pages start with the metro. A National Treasure is how the metro describes captain sir tom moore, whos died in hospital at the age of 100. Hed been battling both pneumonia and coronavirus. The i describes the Second World War veteran as the best of us he was knighted by the queen last year after raising more than £30 million for the nhs by walking laps of his garden. Under its large image of a smiling captain sir tom, the telegraph reports on the results of a study which has found just one dose of the Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine is successful in cutting Virus Transmission rates a key factor in tackling the pandemic. That encouraging news about the oxford jab is also the main story for the mail, describing the development as a game changer. The guardian has seen what the paper claims to be a leaked presentation which reveals labours strategy for winning back its red wall from the conservatives the paper reports it includes making use of the union flag, veterans and dressing smartly. And the ft reports on alexey navalny� s jail term in russia. The kremlin critic has been handed a three and a half years sentence for embezzlement, but has told he only needs to serve two and a half in prison, having already spent a year under house arrest. Lets begin. And there is really one story dominating the papers not just the story, but one man. Captain sir tom moore, the daily mirror, or first paper. Last spring when everything was a bit vague, dangerous and scary, and we had to learn new words like coronavirus and social distancing, there appeared someone on tv we didnt know but who suddenly became very familiar. Absolutely, and i think that in a time that was very worrying and dark for all of us, he gave us huge hope and inspiration. Here was this 99 year old that set out to raise £1000 through a walk around his garden, and ended up raising £33 million. And the thing we saw was the grid, the resolve, the resilience, the sense of solidarity, trying to do something for others, and i think inspired all of us and touched all our hearts at a time when we needed it, which is why i think there is such a remarkable tribute to him. find think there is such a remarkable tribute to him. Tribute to him. And it was so complicated. Tribute to him. And it was so complicated, last tribute to him. And it was so complicated, last april. Tribute to him. And it was so complicated, last april. Antibodies, test and trace, various tests we hadnt heard of, and all of a sudden there was a man walking his garden he suddenly made all quite simple. Theres a quote he said at the time. Remember, tomorrows a good day, tomorrow is where you might find out more than today. That was a mantra. We have to take this crisis one day at a time, we have to take this crisis one day at a time, and its worth looking back at a time, and its worth looking back at at a time, and its worth looking back atiust at a time, and its worth looking back atjust how at a time, and its worth looking back at just how fraught this time was last back at just how fraught this time was last year, more spring time, march was last year, more spring time, march and was last year, more spring time, march and april time. The Prime Minister march and april time. The Prime Minister was ill, we were in sure how serious minister was ill, we were in sure how serious it would be, then along came how serious it would be, then along came this how serious it would be, then along came this grandpa like figure just calmly came this grandpa like figure just calmly going about trying to do something useful, quietly getting on with it something useful, quietly getting on with it. The Yorkshire Post calls him a with it. The Yorkshire Post calls him a quiet with it. The Yorkshire Post calls him a quiet yorkshire men, and he exudes him a quiet yorkshire men, and he exudes that him a quiet yorkshire men, and he exudes that feeling of getting on with it. Exudes that feeling of getting on with it, and we can all get on with it if we with it, and we can all get on with it if we take with it, and we can all get on with it if we take it one step at a time, and attitude we all had to adopt a deal with and attitude we all had to adopt a deal with what has been so much uncertainty.

Theyre both veterans of his knighthood from the queen. They� re both veterans of world his knighthood from the queen. Theyre both veterans of world war ii. If we hadnt had captain sir tom last year, would we have had to invent him . I last year, would we have had to invent him . Invent him . I suspect that, you know, invent him .

I suspect that, you know, there wouldve been a i invent him . I suspect that, you know, there wouldve been a source of inspiration. Im not quite sure it wouldve captured our hearts in the same way, there was something uniquely special about him. But there are always these symbols of hope, and i think that hejust epitomised it at the time. But his legacy i think is a phenomenal one. Its notjust for what hes taught us, and the footsteps that we will choose to kind of walk in, but he is left of massive legacy in terms of the Charitable Foundation hes created that will go on to help thousands and thousands of people. Anna, i was struck that it wasnt just him earlier, i was speaking to the British Asian 101 year old man who had taking up his own walk, he did not hundred 70 laps in his own garden. His son told him that me that he was so overcome captain toms death that he wasnt able to eat. This was an illness about old people, and it was interesting that an old person is the one who got everyone through it. An old person is the one who got everyone through it. Absolutely, and weve seen both everyone through it. Absolutely, and weve seen both through everyone through it. Absolutely, and weve seen both through the everyone through it. Absolutely, and weve seen both through the figure l weve seen both through the figure of captain weve seen both through the figure of captain sirtom weve seen both through the figure of captain sir tom moore, but also the queen of captain sir tom moore, but also the queen and her headrests to the nation, the queen and her headrests to the nation, which are themselves very rare, nation, which are themselves very rare, addresses, but lets not forget rare, addresses, but lets not forget how rare, addresses, but lets not forget how quickly coronavirus swept through forget how quickly coronavirus swept through the lives of some of our older through the lives of some of our older people. They were figureheads that resembled not only people that we were that resembled not only people that we were losing, but people that were staying we were losing, but people that were staying there and being very self reliant, very resilient when they self reliant, very resilient when they were self reliant, very resilient when they were among those people that had the they were among those people that had the most to lose from not following had the most to lose from not following the rules of self isolation, because they were so much more isolation, because they were so much more vulnerable to the virus. So having more vulnerable to the virus. So having a more vulnerable to the virus. So having a figurehead like sir tom made having a figurehead like sir tom made people feel like they were atone made people feel like they were alone but not really, quite like the queen alone but not really, quite like the queen adopted lines that we know so well from queen adopted lines that we know so well from the Second World War, it wasnt well from the Second World War, it wasnt an well from the Second World War, it wasnt an accident she was appealing wasnt an accident she was appealing to that sense of solidarity that people felt during the Great National effort to get through the Great National effort to get through the Second World War and its aftermath through the Second World War and its aftermath. That tapped into the nationai aftermath.

One thing i remember from the people i own bit in their own way. One thing| i remember from the people i knew i rememberfrom the people i knew from that generation they were upbeat but also ruthlessly unsentimental. They were self reliant and they might be telling me at the moment, what about the future . What about the other stories . Lets look at the other� s story in the times, oxford jab reduces the spread of coronavirus. That is a good piece of news. Its, that is a good piece of news. Massive piece of good news. We knew that the jab would affect infection, people who got infected by the virus. What we werent sure was the impact on its transmission of the virus. New studies suggest that it does reduce transmission, a remarkably one dose reduces hospitalisation by 100 , which is amazing. So i think this gives us a source for huge amounts of hope, but i think there is still a lot of caution because there so many on unknowns with this awful pandemic. But a vaccine that works to reduce transmission and gives us hope that we might be able to start opening up and returning to Something Like normal in the foreseeable future. And its that point, anna, about the substantial effect on transmission which could actually be the most important part of that article. Yes. Important part of that article. Yes, that rives important part of that article. Yes, that gives us important part of that article. Yes, that gives us the important part of that article. Yes, that gives us the hope important part of that article. Yes, that gives us the hope of important part of that article. Yes, that gives us the hope of normality. Ithink that gives us the hope of normality. I think the that gives us the hope of normality. I think the point about hospitalisation gives us that hope of Survival Hospitalisation gives us that hope of survival for so many people, especially of survival for so many people, especially in vulnerable and older groups especially in vulnerable and older groups. This pointed transmission gives groups. This pointed transmission gives that groups. This pointed transmission gives that hope of normality, it gives gives that hope of normality, it gives that gives that hope of normality, it gives that hope of normality, it gives that Hope Generational mixing and Household Mixing that weve missed and Household Mixing that weve missed so and Household Mixing that weve missed so much. Sol and Household Mixing that weve missed so much. So i think thats the story missed so much. So i think thats the story that in a way weve all been the story that in a way weve all been waiting for, the vaccine was that most been waiting for, the vaccine was that most urgent, most urgent emergency measure. Now that it down the spread emergency measure. Now that it down the spread emergency measure. Now that it down the spread not completely of course, the spread not completely of course, we the spread not completely of course, we need to think about what the knock course, we need to think about what the knock on course, we need to think about what the knock on effects of that will be, not the knock on effects of that will be, not to the knock on effects of that will be, not to be a mood killer, but its not be, not to be a mood killer, but its not 100 stopping the transmission.

Amongst my friends, we started messaging each other� s parents to get vaccinated, and theres a collective sense of relief. We can see a way through this, so i think its remarkable. And to be fair to the government, much to criticise about this pandemic, but the pace of the vaccine roll out i think has been a real achievement, particularly if it continues at that rate.

These which we dont fully understand yet. These dates are, you know, ambitious and important, and the impact on kidss and important, and the impact on kidss mentality has been enormous. Its impossible especially if youre trying its impossible especially if youre trying to its impossible especially if youre trying to hold down a job, its been huge trying to hold down a job, its been huge and trying to hold down a job, its been huge. And we know for every day that schools huge. And we know for every day that schools stav huge. And we know for every day that schools stay shut, theres a big ecohomic schools stay shut, theres a big Economic Impact as well as that longer term social and educational impact longer term social and educational impact on longer term social and educational impact on the children themselves. So we impact on the children themselves. So we do impact on the children themselves. So we do need to find a way to get schools so we do need to find a way to get schools open as soon as possible, but i schools open as soon as possible, but i think schools open as soon as possible, but i think it schools open as soon as possible, but i think it has to be in pencil so we but i think it has to be in pencil so we dont but i think it has to be in pencil so we dont have a situation like earlier so we dont have a situation like earlier this so we dont have a situation like earlier this year, as you may recall. Earlier this year, as you may recall, when we had schools going back, recall, when we had schools going back, then recall, when we had schools going back, then all of a sudden they shut again back, then all of a sudden they shut again so back, then all of a sudden they shut again. So there needs to be a way to balance again. So there needs to be a way to balance all again. So there needs to be a way to balance all these different concerns at the balance all these different concerns at the moment, and i think the difference at the moment, and i think the difference between 20 february versus difference between 20 february versus eight march its big for the children and parents involved, but for the children and parents involved, but for the the children and parents involved, but for the sake of a few weeks and getting but for the sake of a few weeks and getting that return to school correct getting that return to school correct so children arent promised that normality and having it snatched away from them is crucial, i snatched away from them is crucial, ithink~ snatched away from them is crucial, i think. , f~. , snatched away from them is crucial, ithink. , j~. , i think.

I think it does, but i l think we should all steal ourselves because i think the 8th of march is the beginning of the opening of schools. So ive got a six year old who is likely to be going in that way, but i suspect first secondary aged kids, it will be much later. And i dont blame the government for taking a cautious approach, but there is a Balancing Act and we have to do everything we can do to get kids back into school on a sustainable. Thinking about vaccines for teachers and others so that when schools do open, we are doing everything we can to keep kids in school permanently. Because the impact on educational entertainment, which weve gone to huge amounts of efforts to close the gap in entertainment between kids, that gap is widening and they are huge impacts on kids � s mental health. So we owe a duty to them to prioritise them and try to get them back into a structure and system that they all need. I structure and system that they all need. , �. ,. ,. , need.

Lets move on to our next paper and story which is in the guardian. And it is a subject would you both know pretty well, about trade and economy. Industry and unions call for furlough extension. In the summer, everyone was about rishi sunak� s furlough scheme, people are saying they had been paid by Rishi Sunakfor months and months. Thats starting to become a bit undone towards the end of last year . Discussions . Absolutely, and i think the point thats absolutely, and i think the point thats being made by some unions and industry thats being made by some unions and Industry Leaders, looking at the guardiah Industry Leaders, looking at the guardian story, is that the economy is still guardian story, is that the economy is still incredibly fragile. So its not like is still incredibly fragile. So its not like other situations where weve not like other situations where weve gone into a really deep recession, and then businesses have failed, recession, and then businesses have failed, vou recession, and then businesses have failed, you have an increase in unemployment, than the idea is that the economy can slowly restart itself the economy can slowly restart itself. Whats happened is weve effectively put the economy on a form effectively put the economy on a form of effectively put the economy on a form of life support. Weve brought Interest Form of life support. Weve brought Interest Rates down as low as they can go Interest Rates down as low as they can go without going major, weve tried can go without going major, weve tried to can go without going major, weve tried to ensure that any viable business tried to ensure that any viable business is effectively able to continue business is effectively able to continue despite the restrictions. In continue despite the restrictions. In the continue despite the restrictions. In the meantime, we had a thing called in the meantime, we had a thing called brexit so what Industry Leaders called brexit so what Industry Leaders and unions are saying is that we leaders and unions are saying is that we need to stay on this level of support that we need to stay on this level of support a bit longer, we need to transition of support a bit longer, we need to transition off this gently, not just and the transition off this gently, not just and the furlough and slowly fall off and the furlough and slowly fall off a cliff and the furlough and slowly fall off a cliff. But how thats managed will be really a cliff. But how thats managed will be really crucial for this test of whether be really crucial for this test of whether or not businesses can survive whether or not businesses can survive in whether or not businesses can survive in the post covid 19 world, or whether survive in the post covid 19 world, or whether or not they need to be posted or whether or not they need to be posted further, or whether they cant posted further, or whether they cant be posted further, or whether they cant be supported any more. Whether the economy has changed shape, not ust the economy has changed shape, not just had the economy has changed shape, not just had a the economy has changed shape, not just had a big shock. So we will see a lot more just had a big shock. So we will see a lot more of just had a big shock. So we will see a lot more of this in the months to come a lot more of this in the months to come especially as the vaccine rollout come especially as the vaccine roll out continues and we start to see some roll out continues and we start to see some degree of going into the office see some degree of going into the office were trying to restart Certain Office were trying to restart Certain Industries that have been able to Certain Industries that have been able to function properly while working able to function properly while working remotely. Itll be a very tough working remotely. Itll be a very tough time, and we will see the on Employment Figures really go up. That first Employment Figures really go up. That first week of march will be really interesting. Schools going back, but also the budget. I think its really important back, but also the budget. I think its really important and back, but also the budget. I think its really important and right back, but also the budget. I think| its really important and right that trade unions and Industry Leaders are calling for the furlough to be extended. At the end of last year, we had a lot of dither with the government effectively threatening to end it, and then made a u turn at literally the last second it could do. There were manyjobs lost as a result of that. The furlough has managed to keep businesses afloat and its managed to keep people in jobs. And we still have the spectre of Mass Unemployment looming, so he must extend it and extend it for a long enough period that allows businesses to transition. But theres a much biggerjob in addition to that thinking about how you begin to rescue and recover the economy, and the thing that the government cannot do is retreat. It must think about a big Fiscal Stimulus Programme in order to ensure we dontjust get the economy moving again, but moving in a way that deals with a lot of the big structural problems that the pandemic has exposed. Structural problems that the andemic has exosed. ,. , ~. , pandemic has exposed. Looking at the ft. Pandemic has exposed. Looking at the ft, michael gove pandemic has exposed.

We have been in this grace period where we havent had the same degrees of checks checks will increase and, given the level of tensions already, this is a very, very worrying situation. We need all sides working together to come to a solution that doesnt lead to let, or escalation of conflict. Lets and where we began, with captain tom. Two final paper is to look at. The sun simply calls him captain marvel, and the metro speaks for quite a few people when it says weve lost a National Treasure. Thank you both so much for those two paper reviews. Thats it for the papers tonight. Miatta fahnbulleh and anna isaac, goodbye for now. Hello, im Sarah Mulkerrins at the bbc sportscenter. Its been quite the night of football. Manchester united won 9 0 against southampton at old trafford, equalling the biggest wins in premier league history. It began badly for southampton. Inside two minutes of his first start for the club, Alexandre Jankewitz was sent off for this challenge on scott mctominay, and they never recovered. Mctominay did, though, and got the sixth of the night. The saints lost another man to a red card before the end, and then, the nine men conceded a ninth in the final moments danieljames with the record equalling goal and taking his team level on points with leaders manchester city. Sheffield united came from behind to win 2 1 at home to west brom. Theyre now only one point behind their relegation rivals. West brom started the evening four points above the blades at the bottom of the premier league table, and they took the lead through matt phillips. But Sheffield United fought back in the second half, chris basham eventually set up the Youngsterjayden Bogle to get them back on level terms. And the comeback was completed by veteran striker billy sharp. Sheffield united have now won three games out of their last five, after failing to win in their first 17 premier league games. Better managers than me have said about my team, were alive and kicking, were fighting and having a go. And weve had a go tonight, and well have to have more of a go in the next 16 games. Im not stood here saying that all of a sudden, were on a huge charge how could we be in this division . But were having a go and, if itll make it difficult for the teams above us, then lets do that and see where it takes us. Most of these players havent played at this level before. So what theyre finding out is theres no time you can relax and no time at all you can not do yourjob correctly, particularly when youre defending, because opposition will take advantage of that. And i think that doesnt happen as much in the championship, and thats what were feeling at the moment. Elsewhere, newcastle got off to a great start against crystal palace.

Tuesday brought us some very heavy snow across parts of scotland, but more especially in northern england. And that caused significant transport disruption at one stage, the a62 was completely shut, along with the snake pass. And thats the main road link between manchester and sheffield. The boundary between the mild air we have in the south and the cold air in the north is heading into scotland. And its here where the risk of snow will stay really threw the rest of this week. Heavy snow across the high ground with significant accumulations. There is still the scope of transport disruption but the risk of disruption will increase towards the end of the week. Why do i say that . Because at lower elevations over the next few days, temperatures will be dropping by a couple of degrees celsius, tipping the balance from rain more to snowfall at lower levels hence the risk of disruption is more likely to increase later in the week. Right now across the central lowlands, weve got rain, a bit of sleet coming through as well. The snow mainly confined to the high ground here, also across the very high ground and across the far north of england, too. Delving into this zone, as we go through wednesday, we will continue to see that rain, a bit of sleet at times across the central belt, so probably nothing in the way of snow settling. If you go into the hills, yes, above 100 metres elevation, youre more likely to see snow, settling snow above 200 metres elevation, 10 20 cm over the next 48 hours. Throughout much of east anglia. Mild in the south, but obviously where weve got the snow falling, particularly in the hills, temperatures struggling to get much above freezing at all in scotland. Through wednesday night, we will continue to see that mucky mixture, really, in scotland. There might be a bit more in the way of snow starting to come down to some slightly lower levels across the north of the country, as those temperatures just start to edge downwards Just A Little Bit might be enough to tip the balance, perhaps a little bit of snow across the high ground of northern england, as well. For thursday, again, as the air gets colder, weve got a tendency to see a bit more snow getting down to some of those lower levels. In the south, weve got some rain, a few brighter spells for wales and the midlands, still mild in the south, still cold into scotland. And then beyond that, as we look at the forecast through friday and into the weekend beyond, there is a tendency for the weather to turn colder, and we may see it some snowfall more widely for next week.
