Overall results from Oxford University and astrazenecas vaccine trial show it protects 70 of people from covid 19. That increased to 90 when the dose was adjusted. Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are the journalist and author eve pollard and the yorkshire posts westminster correspondent geri scott. Lets have a look at tomorrows front pages. Following the Prime Ministers downing street briefing on the post lockdown plans, several papers go with the headline tis the season to be jolly careful. The metro also points out that the new oxford vaccine will cost less than a cup of coffee per dose. The telegraph says that englands new tier restrictions will be in place until march. The express says the pm is warning britons not to blow it in order to beat the virus
in time for easter. A similar thought in the eye, which also warns of a commons revolt from tory backbenchers over stricter measures. But a brighter spring is forecast in the mirror, which says the 90 efficacy of the new vaccine, gives hope for the new year. The guardian carries an image of Sarah Gilbert the professor who led the oxford vaccine teams breakthrough research. Shes also on the front of the times, being congratulated by the duke of cambridge. So lets begin. Eva, good news all around despite tougher lockdown for some areas. A tick off with the times. Very positive breakthrough of the news in the past few hours. A completely positive breakthrough and
interestingly covertly positive from professor chris whitty. Who has never been positive in the last four months weve been watching him. He agrees its possible to pull back from social distancing rules from the spring. It does describe the whole saga of the oxford vaccine, and it is brilliant news that not only will we hopefully get it but it can travel because it does not have to be at these cryonic very low temperatures, it could be stuck in yourfridge. Or a fridge, temperatures, it could be stuck in yourfridge. Ora fridge, not temperatures, it could be stuck in yourfridge. Or a fridge, not yours. And it will help the whole world. He does going to say that covid is not going to disappear, but becoming less and less risky for society. Its going to be around really for quite a long time it seems. It is. We are knuckle to get rid of the overnight and even if we had all this positivity, and quite rightly we should be celebrating this vaccine, even got three that look like theyre going to work for us how. Like theyre going to work for us now. Thats brilliant but its going to bea now. Thats brilliant but its going to be a massive effort to roll these out and get everyone vaccinated. Have to bring it done get it done. And its going to be a massive effort, not overnight and have to get through these cold horrible little months where restrictions are still going to be in place if theres light at the end of the tunnel. Got a theme now of having positive news on mondays. I quite like it. Are you going to be booking tickets for wimbledon last year . Playing or just watching . Tickets for wimbledon last year . Playing orjust watching . I love the idea that we can go to wimbledon next year. I went last year with richard which is a great treat, and one of the favourite things that i can do orany one of the favourite things that i can do or any of us can do. Its so exciting, wimbledon and you are really u p exciting, wimbledon and you are really up close. But did not sing last year. Not enough rain, a
glorious and sunny day when we went. Nice to do all those things weve a lwa ys nice to do all those things weve always done, go and visit people, go for a swim always done, go and visit people, go fora swim in always done, go and visit people, go for a swim in the sea, go to other places in england. Go even abroad. They would all be very exciting if we could. Though of course later on we could. Though of course later on we will be talking about tightening oui we will be talking about tightening our belts i fear. I think thats coming now. Lets move on to the Scottish Daily mail because still no agreement between Nicola Sturgeon andi agreement between Nicola Sturgeon and i think michael gove who was negotiating with the region about what we are going to be doing for christmas and how many families in days or whatever. His Scottish Daily mail pointing out vaccine joy for christmas, but hog monday cancelled. Its tough getting descriptive plan agreed with all the leaders of
nations. Thats really important because the government i think its really where any subject everyone with them on this. We seen at times throughout this pandemic that Boris Johnson would make an announcement and Nicola Sturgeon but disagree or say she did not think it was the right decision or rate for scotland. I think if we are going to get by for people over christmas, its really pretty we have this by end, not to go all out and really blow it, then everyone has got to be on board. We will see over the next couple of days, because we are expecting to know the plan later on this week. See you would think they are pretty far down the track if they feel confident enough to say it will be announcing soon. Is the Political Capital worth it forgetting a sort of seminormal christmas back only to then have to increase tiers in the week
afterwards . Increase tiers in the week afterwards . Its a difficult thing tojudge. My feeling afterwards . Its a difficult thing to judge. My feeling is the Scottish Daily mail have got great for christmas but bad for that and we know that north of the border its very important. In most families christmas has been forfamilies very important. In most families christmas has been for families and others have been forfriends. Ifeel this year of all years people really feel they want to see families, older relatives for months, it will be very hard and all of your big flashing kiss. Such to keep her distance. Just to be in the same room with them will be blessed. The government had taken soundings on this and certainly as far as most mothers and grandmothers are concerned thats all we want to do but just to see concerned thats all we want to do butjust to see them. Lets go on to your paper. Pm warns of a hard
winter. You quote one northern mp, it others are complaining about being put in tier 3 or being sustained, very once the lockdown to continue. Actively of the end of the spectrum. On the one hand youve got those 70 tory backbenchers who are saying theyre going to vote against the government and the new restrictions, and on the other hand youve got people like barry in huddersfield, and others in leeds saying we actually still need these National Measures. And Richard Heath said that he fears a third wave would be coming because of the lifting of the measures. So barry actually sits we mentioned this in oui actually sits we mentioned this in our ago has tweeted me to confirm what he actually meant by it. He says that things will be more fair and effective to keep National Measures in place. But for people in
the north and other areas that have been under restrictions for a long time if you would be a bitter pill to swallow to say do you know what, no, youve still got to stay on these national restrictions. And ashley would not work when you got some parts of the countries with a number thats minuscule low and then not that many hospital admissions either. Yes, of course that the other thing. I would love to know and have a map of the country about where the rate is in different parts of the country because we know we have all been in tiers can we are not quite sure how successful they have been. And i think in a way i understand where barry is coming from, but i feel that its up to people like me who are at to be careful and say, look, people like me who are at to be carefuland say, look, i people like me who are at to be careful and say, look, i would love to hug you and kiss you but i cant. At least i can elbow and see you, and be in the same room, and share
jokes and do funny stories. In charades, great socially distance game as long as you dont all squashed on the sofa. This sense of unfairness, going back to that. That some leaders feel committed they are not being treated in the same way. The fact that they dont feel theyre being leveled up with the rest of the country. How potent is that . I know youre the westminster correspondent down here but it is home for you up in yorkshire. Well, this is to be that borisjohnson built his election on. Disabling up of the agenda and really equalising those regional inequalities. We all know at present, health inequalities, inequalities, opportunities and educational attainment, things that we know people in the north dont have as much access to. So to kind of fail oii much access to. So to kind of fail on that i think would be to fail on
a massive part and the reason this government have the victory in decemberand government have the victory in december and got so many of those iiew december and got so many of those new blue mps or whatever you want to call it in pieces seeing the Spending Review on wednesday because we already know the green book is looking to be reformed at the way that has money has spent and we know we will get announcements about replacing the messiah creating the charity fund which is replacing that you find and disproportionately has been advantaging the north. So thats going to be interesting. And see if they can follow through on those leveling a promise is there whilst also trying to balance the books from covid. A difficult balancing act that i dont envy at the moment. We are going to come onto the in a minute. We get the Spending Review tomorrow. Or on wednesday. And a lot of speculation
about what its going to do on that. Even with go back to the express. Boris says its the season to be jolly careful will also warning the people should not abuse the easing of restrictions. Do you think thats going to be easier said than done . Im just thinking about, you know, the run up to christmas and the big cities around england and the uk. The run up to christmas and the big cities around england and the uki think is going to be hard. I think this is been very much written for the express readership which i think now is probably one of the older readerships of newspapers. But they are saying yes b one another but dont mad. And dont kiss everybody, dont mad. And dont kiss everybody, dont get too close to everybody, try and that the older people be in somewhere slightly more distanced if you can. Hard to do of course at christmas, hard to do and somebodys front room. But they are saying i think to their readers you got to be
slightly responsible for this so you should see your families, but you should see your families, but you should try and keep your distance and as much as you can under the circumstances. We will all commanded hug and kiss, there will be an object without any doubt. Just in time for the new year and we dont wa nt time for the new year and we dont want more deaths, we dont want more illness. I think theyre advising their readers to be cautious. Is good be agreeably difficult for the young, isnt it . You got kidsjust entering university or halfway through university, they are going to wa nt through university, they are going to want to do these things. They know that they are not vulnerable. Even though the message is continually put to them that you are risking and infecting others its going to be difficult at a time like christmas and new year. It is good to be difficult. I think its kaput youre right but also goes to the
not taking the mick really. Not having the parties, not, you know we have heard of the household to be able to mix by the looks of it but only in very limited ways. So dont ta ke only in very limited ways. So dont take them back with that. Dont take it too far and dont mix with more people than you are allowed to. Youre allowed to have these kind of limited freedoms however horrible that sounds. But its better than it has been. Dont take it too far because the consequences are not only going to be on the rising deaths but harsher restrictions again. Quite right or go to see lots of young people travelling all over the country to get home for christmas. We already know that we are looking at mass testing to make sure that its safe for them to do so. Sure that its safe for them to do so. Its keeping an eye on that as it goes, relate. Actually good news pa rt it goes, relate. Actually good news part of the coronavirus commit the new vaccine with oxford and astrazeneca, atlanta 90 success
rate. By accident. Its a british in a way. Carry on up the vaccine you mean. What was interesting was they gave some of the people very briefly who said yes you can experiment on me, they gave them half the dose. And when they realised that they gave the a whole dose, while one and a half doses and that means its safe for 90 of the people which is the same as the two american vaccines. And they have to happened to run it by accident. In the scientific world measured in james the last t accidents can happen and they Great Results sometimes. I think as incredible as well have they just sometimes. I think as incredible as well have theyjust kind of stumbled oii well have theyjust kind of stumbled on this and everyone is delighted. Ive for one thats been on the tv and the interview today has been absolutely over the moon. This is really good to have good news. Absolutely over the moon. This is really good to have good newsm absolutely over the moon. This is really good to have good news. Is it true that matt cantor, petitioned that he worked that he went to me that he worked that he went to me that he worked that he went to me that he was banned . But he has a picture. Is this country every year. A couple celebrating and saying we can spend Christmas Day without lung young ones. In your summing it allup young ones. In your summing it all up really. Not such good use the terms of the cost of the pandemic, the inside page of the times rishi sunak in the interview he gives the times, talking about taking away the Prime Ministers credit card. But rishi sunak set to scrap living wage ride in blow for poor workers. At the gas to begin with its belt of
the gas to begin with its belt of the last few days forget to my inbox if nothing else its been an announcement after announcement about what is coming this week in the Spending Review at all big ticket items, many being splashed around but now we are really coming down to the hard edge of this and seeing what is going to suffer. And this is basically a rise in the National Living wage being not completely scrapped, is still going to go up within inflation but not as much as what expected. And this comes after, its already been reported that there will be a Public Sector pay freeze because it does not feel right for Public Sector wages to go up at the same time as a lot of people in the private sector losing theirjobs and it we will also have the Prime Minister saying he does not think mps get a pay raise either. Its all very much tightening of the bells, and not to sound like a broken record on the north south divide, but it cant be ignored that the vast proportion of those on the living wage and member
wage, however those on the living wage and member wage , however you those on the living wage and member wage, however you want to say it, or in the north. The northeast in yorkshire and humber are right up there on the table when you look at where the fortunate people are. It the people that have been on the front line with the care workers and people like that supermarket workers who took all the abuse during the first lockdown when the shelves are empty. Ido first lockdown when the shelves are empty. I do think its going to be a bit of a bitter pill to swallow, really. He is following, the recommendations of the low pay commission. And they have said its unaffordable. I would love to know whos on the low pay commission, just out of curiosity. The truth is theyve actually looked at our finances and said this is unaffordable now. Looking at rishi sunak who seems to be very clever and does always think in the future i guess hes going to say this is what we cant do at the beginning of 2020 because of the camera or the end of 2020 because of the situation. I cant believe that
something, i think it was 5. 6 was going to go, i cant believe that that will be wiped out forever. I think there has to be jam tomorrow but i think all of us will have to pay more tax, i think we are all going to have to pay for this pandemic in some way or another. Yes. Higher bill than either of the world wars the past century. Time for one more i think most men, being very sexist, nose, and thats a black friday deals are the same price or cheaper during the year. Hooray for that. If you can stop us off talking about black friday. This is from the consumer champion. And 85 of items they looked at had been cheaper with the same price within the last six months compared to the black friday prices. As an example in there of some headphones that
we re £249 in there of some headphones that were £249 on a black friday deal but they had been that price 15 times before in the previous six months. So it does show you is not always kind of the best deal that you think you might be getting on that day. Its important to you, you shop every day. I do not, ive never shopped less in my life. No point buying any clothes because no way seeing you. No point spending any money. Seem to spend quite a lot at the supermarket but i never spent less money in my life. So ive a lwa ys less money in my life. So ive always been suspicious, i mean, of all sales. This is an american thing, you go shopping after thanksgiving which will be as we know any minute now, and im say to people probably wait for the january sales. As a lot of bargains then. |j traditionalist on that front. Thank you both very much indeed for taking us you both very much indeed for taking us through that second look at the
papers here on bbc news. Hello, im Sarah Mulkerrins at the bbc sport centre. Lets start with the news that up to 4,000 spectators could be allowed to watch sporting events in the lowest risk areas, when the lockdown in england ends on 2 december. Its also been confirmed that organised grassroots sport will be able to resume, and gyms and leisure centres can reopen across all tiers. Our Sports Editor dan roan reports. Commentator he scores jamie vardy has got his second eight months have passed since this, the last premier league match fans were present at, but today finally came the news sport had been desperately hoping for crowds will be allowed back into the grounds and venues in lower risk areas from next week. Under the new system,
4,000 people can attend Outdoor Events in tieri areas, or 50 of capacity, depending which is smaller. In tier 2 the number will be capped at 2,000, but spectators will continue to be banned in the highest risk tier 3 areas. This could be a lifeline, particularly for those clubs in league i and league 2 and national league, for which 4,000 fans is a significant amount. Of course, we dont yet know which geographical area the clubs will fall in, and it probably wont make a great deal of difference to the big clubs. For months now, sports have insisted the return of fans can be achieved safely, and indoor events such as last weeks atp finals tennis in london will now be able to have up to 1,000 spectators if they are in lower risk areas. With fans not allowed inside grounds and venues like this since march, todays news will come as a major boost to sports that depend on gate receipts, and a first step back, perhaps, towards the return of the passion and the atmosphere that clubs up and down the country
have missed so much. There was further good news today for a grassroots sport with organised Outdoor Activities able to resume from next week in all tiers. Former international Robbie Savage who coaches a Junior Football Team and campaigned for a return of childrens sport told me just how much the decision meant. Well, you can see i have a big smile on my face. It means so much to the youngsters all around the country, it was imperative that it was brought back for the physical and mental well being. The pressures on children in modern day society is massive anyway, so they need a release, and that release coming now is going to be welcomed. There was welcome news for cash strapped Indoor Sports too with facilities like pools able to reopen next week in all tiers and former olympic Gold Medalist rebecca adlington, who now spends time coaching the next generation of swimmers, believes the move is essential. For many, many people swimming is the only form of exercise that they can do, especially for the kind of elderly or rehab,
or any sort of injury. So id be really concerned that the obesity rate in more inactive adults will rise as well, so we really need to tackle these issues so we dont overwhelm the nhs from that side of things as well. There are still frustrations. While gyms can also reopen, Group Activities such as exercise classes will be restricted in tier 3. Today is an important milestone, but for sport lots of hard work still lies ahead. Dan roan, bbc news. Southampton could have gone third in the premier League Tonight but were held to a 1 1 draw at wolves. Theo walcott opened the scoring for southampton his first goal since returning to his boyhood club, but pedro neto equalised to take wolves into the top half of the table. A mistake from Crystal Palace defender Cheikhou Kouyate allowed burnley to claim their First Premier League win of the season. Chris wood pounced in the eighth minute. 1 0 to burnley the final score that was the First Premier League goal theyve scored
at home this season. Footballs law making body ifab met today to discuss the possibility of introducing concussion substitutes. Trials could start as early as january, but the subs wouldnt be brought into the premier league until next season. There are huge concerns that heading the ball can lead to dementia later in life. The former luton town striker, mick harford, whos now the clubs recruitment officer, says hes concerned about his own Neurological Health after a 20 year playing career. My experience started at school and i can vividly remember heading the playing for my school team and blacking out for 2 3 seconds after hitting the ball because it was that heavy. I do have memory lapses, i speak to the old team mates of mine, we chat and reminisce and some of them i cant remember and i think, why is that . Is that my age . Is that because i have been heading balls for the majority of my life . I do fearfor that, i do fear for having dementia. On a wet and windy night in glasgow, it was munster who came out on top in their pro 14 clash with a 27 13 win against the warriors. The conference b leaders made it six wins out of six on a miserable night at scotstoun. The hosts remain with just the one win in the competition. Snookers uk championship got under way today. Its being held in a covid secure bubble at the marshall arena in milton keynes. Two players, ryan day and anthony hamilton, had to pull out after testing positive for coronovirus. Former winners mark selby and john higgins both made it through higgins easing past Fergal Obrien in the evening session by six frames to one. Thats all the sport from us for the moment. Well see you again soon. Bye bye. Hello there. Monday was really quite a chilly day, particularly so across central and eastern england, where temperatures quite widely only got to around 7 8 celsius just six there in north yorkshire. But one of the things that brings us the biggest temperature rises this time of year are warm fronts. And weve had one of those across the country, south westerly winds have been following, and hour by hour weve seen those temperatures rise recently such that by the time we get to tuesday, 6am, those temperatures will be far higher than the highest temperatures we had all day yesterday, at around 10 11 celsius quite widely. So milder air is on the way, south westerly winds to thank for that. But well also have this weather front which will be one of these slow moving weather fronts its bringing rain at the moment in Northern Ireland and scotland, and it will continue to rain
for these areas through much of the day on tuesday, as well. Now further southwards and eastward across england and wales, itll be a mild start to the day, with temperatures 10 12 celsius in places. Quite a brisk south westerly wind, some low cloud over the high grounds, some mist and fog patches higher up, a bit of drizzle around as well. But as we go through tuesday morning, i think the cloud may well break up at times across england. The best chance of that probably in the morning, really, across east anglia and south east england. Otherwise, probably keeping the cloud through most of the day for most areas. And the rain continues to come down for Northern Ireland and scotland. Whether you see sun or cloud, temperatures around 11 13 celsius a little bit cooler in the far northwest of the uk. That colder air is behind this cold front sinking southwards over the next few days. As it pulls away, we will get that colder air lingering around the uk for much of the rest of the week. So heres the chart for wednesday heres our cold front, bringing clouds, still a bit of rain
moving southwards and eastwards into east anglia, southeast england, a few showers for scotland and Northern Ireland, it may be 1 2 sneaking down the irish sea, as well. You notice those temperatures cooling off highs more typically around 8 9 celsius for northern areas, still around 11 12 celsius in the far southeast. The pressure then rises, giving us clear skies there wednesday night. Therell be a frost with High Pressure around towards the end of the week. Lots of dry weather with mist and fog patches in the morning, a few patches of frost, but its a mostly dry picture, perhaps generally turning a bit more cloudy as we head into the weekend. Thats your weather
