too early? the boxing and strong. it's biden. it's too close to call! the trick is to have been in newsrooms and no one could believe, no one could believe when we had that parliament for theresa may and jeremy corbyn and there is a dropping moment in newspapers where the trick is not to go too far ahead of where the facts are at the moment, that is what i've learned in 20 years injournalism.|j moment, that is what i've learned in 20 years in journalism. i think we've all learned that from the people from the chicago tribune that might‘ve been six just a second ahead and just trying to get the paper out and look what happened to them. that headline, that famous headline, with that give you guys some degree of, if not absolutely. such pressure and if you get that call wrong, it is and it is notjust the people writing about politics, been on the other side is an adviser andi been on the other side is an adviser and i remember in the 2015 general election, i was advising at the time and we were so convinced that it was going to be a hung parliament with labour and the biggest number of seats and when david cameron got that majority and exit port dropped just after ten o'clock in the evening and our jaws just after ten o'clock in the evening and ourjaws of the floor because we had scenarios plan for every situation apart from chairman getting the majority and other commentators are like no, it is absolutely going to be the case that labour is the largest party. so, whatever side of politics you are on, be prepared for every event. that vote was amazing because that meant that vote was amazing because that m ea nt every that vote was amazing because that meant every cameron had to deliver a referendum on the european union, which he was going to give away in the negotiations and here we are. we have given your colleagues very awful time tonight, worrying them about headlines they should not print, making them stressed about the deadlines that they are not going to face. i'm really sorry for that boy an unusual evening this is with the deadlines that they face. we went to slightly switch now and skip onto the metro newspaper with a headline that i think we'll catch a lot of peoples attention here in the uk. i would say if they read it on the tube in the morning, i cannot imagine many will be reading it on the two because not many people travel on it. but many say vaccine and a month. this is very heartening news if it is true. we are all hoping and praying for delivery of a stable, safe vaccine and so it is very good that it is being punted. but the question will soon move to yes, front—line workers getting it, but everyone will want to get access to this vaccine, so this can be big questions as to how this vaccine is rolled out, how accessible it's going to be, will there be a cost to it, will there be a two—tier system or some people who can afford it can get them more quickly if they paid for it? there is an initialjoy of yes, there's a vaccine, but there's a lot of big ethical questions about access and surely, you want everybody to access this vaccine, but ill probably only be a finite amount of it to begin with. it is still in if according to the article. it has not been confirmed. i have reported last month about plans to have this in place by christmas and it is certainly the hope. it is ad limited availability but, it will give work to be over 85 in the average age of deaths from the viruses in the mid—805 and some of the most vulnerable people as well as keeping the nhs hospitals running, rather than worrying about infections there. and that us hope so. i do think that eating half a million tests a day by targets, they can give millions of tests done by the end of next month with a vaccine and that idea can try to save christmas by testing all of liverpool of the next two weeks and i think there's a feeling that this boat coming tomorrow in the house of commons, i think mps are giving the government one last chance to deliver on what they said they have a third on christmas, this is the moment for boris johnson goes a third on christmas, this is the moment for borisjohnson goes to deliver. could you respond to that in two sentences and they get to the final story? making use of this lockdown is to establish a proper test track trays and isolation system. that is the big missing piece of the jigsaw and the government have performed abysmally on that. last story of the night is the daily telegraph. tory anger is locked forces people to pay respects in the cold and i am afraid very briefly please. was being voted and whether or not they will go through, one example is on sunday, the 8th of november that they would not be allowed into the church to pay respects to fallen comrades out in the cold and tory mps are unhappy. look, i think a lot of people will be disappointed about having the normal celebrations. i think people are encouraged to still donate to the charities and also there's an idea for people to do something on the doorsteps, a bit like looking after the carrots. so maybe that is after the carrots. so maybe that is a good alternative. in that ends it. thank you very much. and your collea g u es thank you very much. and your colleagues and those nerves rooms. —— newsrooms. that's it for the papers. good evening. hello, i'm sarah mulkerrins

weekend. i don't think outcome is a huge surprise to anyone given what is happened in the sport of recent weeks and given the impending lockdown and tests this morning which follow the positive test for coronavirus and yesterday, it has really forced the hands of the authorities so the decision is being taken to go straight to the playoffs after the final two games of the regular season so it is six clubs involved and it is somewhat complex but you can see to the screen there that the top two will sit out the first round and going to the elimination games that will also ta ke elimination games that will also take place on the 12th and 13th of november and the winners will play the first and second side the following week at home to go through the grand final which is still scheduled for the 27th of november and not the end of the season and the authorities wanted by any means, but i think it's the only way they can reach a satisfactory into the super league season. and that's all the sport for now. good evening. there's been a chill in the wind today, but the wind will be easing, the showers will be easing as we go through this evening and overnight away from the north of scotland. and we are in for ourfirst widespread frost across england and wales under those starry skies. and, of course, with some showers around and the surfaces damp, there could just be the odd icy patch, too. but that's the most notable thing, i think, our first widespread frost of the season in england and wales, perhaps southern scotland and northern ireland, too. but there's just a little bit more cloud and breeze for the north. now, there could also be a little bit of mist and fog first thing in the morning to watch out for. at this time of year, of course, it lingers well through the morning, probably not clearing till towards lunchtime. once it does, plenty of sunshine, lighter winds than today. despite that crisp start, i think it won't feel as chilly in the sunshine, although the sunshine's fading for scotland with the arrival of the next band of rain, which willjust push into the rest of scotland through the night. but we keep the static weather pattern, then, till the end of the week, with frost initially and then some more fog problems thursday and friday morning. this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the us decides
