hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are author and journalist yasmin alibhai—brown and former pensions minister ros altmann. welcome to you both. tomorrow's front pages, then, starting with the metro. "don't risk a third wave" — that's the message from the foreign secretary on the front of the metro. speaking this morning, dominic raab failed to rule out a return to lockdown if mps vote down borisjohnson‘s new tier system in parliament this week. the daily express features a plea from the prime minister for "unity and resolve", insisting that the worst phase of the coronavirus pandemic was "very nearly behind us". pubs and restaurants hit by new covid restrictions will be given additional cash to help get them through christmas — that's according to the telegraph. the paper reports additional grants are likely to be funded by extra borrowing. the guardian writes the nhs is planning to enlist celebrities and influencers in a drive to persuade people to have a covid vaccine, amid fears of low take—up. the paper also features an image of the bahrain grand prix crash — the formula 1 driver romain grosjean miraculously walked away with minor injuries. and "go shop for britain" is the lead on the mirror, with christmas shoppers being urged to spend their money on the high streets to prevent traders from going bust. let's begin, that, this time with the daily express and the prime minister, yasmin, calling for unity and resolve to help beat the virus. breathe in on tuesday he might not get the backing he needs for this new tiered system in england. yes, and of course, the people opposing him are on his own side. this must be very hard for borisjohnson, who was for such a long time the kind of prize money of the tory party, and suddenly there are these fissures and he will have to depend on the opposition parties to see this through. and i've always said that the one thing we needed and never got was, over this period, a united kind of force of a government of national unity which brought all the parties together, but it never happened. and if this is one way there is some mutuality and understanding, good. i hope it works. but there will always be the rebels and the rebels are too often the ones dictating what happens. rebels and the rebels are too often the ones dictating what happensm looks as though, ros, he is going to show how this national act on ending that has helped reduce the infection rate. yeah. clearly, would you want unity across the country. there has been too much division over brexit and over all sorts of things, including the response to the pandemic, but what i think what a numberof the pandemic, but what i think what a number of the tory mps are saying is, show us the evidence. we have not seen the evidence. that the measures being taken are going to have a more beneficial effect that the damage they're doing. mps are coming under dreadful from their constituencies. shops, businesses, individuals, peoples and care homes, families, are saying to these mps, what you doing to us? why are you destroying us? in many areas, low infection rates. what the so—called rebels are asking for is a proper analysis which shows what the impact is on other health conditions and on the economy and on the social aspects, including mental health and family life and so on. we have not seen any of that. it is all about this one illness called covid, which is dreadful and horrible, and of course we need to take it seriously, but i think after so many months and after so much has happened, there is this impatience and this concern that, actually, how can we tell her constituents this is worth doing if we have not seen evidence ourselves. and yasmin, the city north of england. after these four weeks of national lockdown, some places are still being put into tier 3 which would be very hard for people to bear and understand —— this is the north of england. yeah, absolutely, and tier 2 is incredibly restricted. we were all hoping after lockdown, we would find a little bit more space, but it's interesting to me is liverpool. liveable had i think at one point the highest rates, and really good mass testing —— liverpool had. the community actually doing the right thing for the sake of the wider good stuff the rates have come down, extraordinarily. my daughter lives in liverpool and they have really suffered. they really suffered both with fear of the illness and the restrictions but look what happens when people do the right thing. and the rates are coming down in some parts of the north, it is because a lot of i believe the majority of the british people understand the risks also known for the dead. we have lost so many people. hundreds of thousands of britons are in morning. and some of them did not even begin to understand how dreadfully dangerous this thing was. to understand how dreadfully dangerous this thing waslj understand dangerous this thing was.” understand business.” dangerous this thing was.” understand business. i understand the needs of other patients, but we've never had this kind of pandemic. we will come back to the pandemic. we will come back to the pandemic ina pandemic. we will come back to the pandemic in a moment, but first, ros, on the front of the times, our fields and farms. yes, the government is not this seven—year plan —— has announced this seven—year plan. it is starting to phase out about {2.4 billion worth of subsidies that farmers would get just for owning land. they pay the farmers notjust for owning the owning land. they pay the farmers not just for owning the land owning land. they pay the farmers notjust for owning the land but owning land. they pay the farmers not just for owning the land but for improving the productivity and the environmental benefits that the land produces, making new woodland, for example, wild habitats and using less pesticides. and by 2028, that will be our own farming policy which will be our own farming policy which will help farmers help the environment and get paid to do so. that i think is the plan. but yasmin, the national farmers' union is saying if it is done too quickly and these subsidies are removed too fast, some businesses will be rendered unviable. s, and if it is a good long—term plan, good luck to them, but one of the things one has to remember is that the level of borrowing now as a result of what has been happening with the pandemic, it is i watering numbers. and how are they when you find the money that they are so casually, actually, giving to restaurants and pubs and now farms when, actually, they could not actually find the money to pay for those children that marcus rashford wanted to... we are in economic crisis and the bank of england has said, post brexit, most —— more damage will be gone don't act on to the economy than by covid. you mentioned the cash for restau ra nts a nd you mentioned the cash for restaurants and pubs. the daily telegraph is looking at that, saying they will be more of that to quell revolt, because in tier 3, pubs can only and restaurants can only do ta keaways. only and restaurants can only do takeaways. yes, and that's what's happening at the moment, isn't it, even under lockdown? if you want a meal, you have to send for it or go and pick it up. again, i completely feel for the sector, but there are other sectors too that are also... there are competing demands and one of the things that we have to remember is meeting in pubs and restau ra nts remember is meeting in pubs and restaurants has a high risk of infection. and i'm sorry, this'll thing about free choice and freedom and all of that, when polio was around, people were not saying it is around, people were not saying it is a right to choose how we behave. i think we have to be that kind of british person. for the greater good in the short—term, we have to do the right thing in terms of public health and the others will follow. the telegraph saying tills will have to keep bringing... they will be allowed if they want to. again, we are all meant to be observing social distancing even if the shops reopen. i think this is exactly the kind of thing a numberof i think this is exactly the kind of thing a number of mps are struggling to explain to their constituents. people are coming to them and saying, on the one hand, you say one thing, on the one hand, you say another thing. where is the evidence. we have not seen evidence of transmission and restaurants religion to other places. we have not seen how it impacts shops. the idea that robert jenrick not seen how it impacts shops. the idea that robertjenrick is not seen how it impacts shops. the idea that robert jenrick is talking about here, with the 20 47 tills opening, is that he will relax the lennie lawrence. at the moment, yet to get permission that takes weeks and weeks from your local council if you want to open your shops as of the normal hours —— relax the planning laws. he is think you will get rid of those restrictions and ask councillors to fast—track those plantings. in a lot of shops say they want to stay open until at least midnight, say, overthe next period before christmas. already, 140,000 jobs have gone in retail. december is the most important month for many shopkeepers in the high street. and the ideas to try to encourage people to buy in your high street, at your local shops, not just online, if you can. yes, that's exactly what the daily mirror is saying. high street plea, go shop for britain. i did this last christmas, i'm going to do it again, trying avoid online shop if you can. there are some wonderful independent shops out there to support. yeah, absolutely, and that's a great campaign and what i would absolutely support. partly because also the amazon beast has now taken over the world and we all need to be doing oui’ world and we all need to be doing our little bit not to let it grow monstrously bigger yet again. so i think... but the same time, people's incomes are low, people are frightened. i doubt there will be big sprees, but it is lovely if you can have some way of supporting your local butcher, your local florist, why not? yeah, some people will struggle to buy very much at all the ship because times are so hard and some of people have lost theirjobs. letch —— lets fitness, though, with the guardian. and it just —— lets fitness, though, with the guardian. and itjust to use celebrities to drive encourage covert vaccine taken. i think it is a good idea. if you find liberty saying we are confident in the vaccine, we saying we are confident in the vaccine, we encourage you not saying we are confident in the vaccine, we encourage you not to be so vaccine, we encourage you not to be so frightened, look at the evidence yourself, consider it yourself and encourage people to take it up, i am not in favour of forcing people, i think that honestly would be terribly wrong. but certainly encouraging people who might otherwise be frightened and laying out the evidence from celebrities, as well as from the medical profession, obviously, ithink as well as from the medical profession, obviously, i think that would encourage allowed people to ta ke would encourage allowed people to take more seriously. and if they we re take more seriously. and if they were into minds, they would swing over to take the vaccine rather than not doing so —— in two minds. particularly, yasmin, the people scared by the scare stories some conspiracy theorist have been putting out, the fact that these vaccines won't be safe, when we know they have undergone these medical trials. done very quickly, it has to be said, but there's no suggested it would not be safe at all. yes, and thatis would not be safe at all. yes, and that is the problem with the medical argument that macron is putting across. “— argument that macron is putting across. —— ros is putting across. measles has returned, measles had vanished because everyone was getting the mmr vaccine for the child. measles has reappeared with a vengeance. child. measles has reappeared with a vengeance. so anything we can do to persuade people, yes, but you cannot have with a pandemic a free choice. i think ros's idea of saying you cannot travel nature of the vaccination, you cannot come to a restau ra nt vaccination, you cannot come to a restaurant is quite a good one, but thatis restaurant is quite a good one, but that is still compulsion. a different sort. it is a carrot and stick approach, i suppose. you still have a choice. you are not being forced if you don't want to come if you really are frightened. i think thatis you really are frightened. i think that is quite important in a free society. i really do. welll that is quite important in a free society. i really do. well i think we don't make that three of us will all have it when it is available. maybe we do it on tv! there is an idea. yasmin and ros, lovely to see you both. we will have it in person soon you both. we will have it in person soon enough. something to look forward to. that is it for the papers tonight. to look at it online or subscribe. we do not mind. coming up or subscribe. we do not mind. coming up next, it's the film
