Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me arejessica elgot, the deputy Political Editor at the guardian, and sebastian payne, Whitehall Editor at the financial times. Tomorrow because � s front pages. Tomorrows front pages. Lets start with the times, and it leads with the news that travellers arriving into england who lie on their Passenger Locator forms about visiting a red list country face a fine of £10,000 or up to ten years injail. The same story makes the front page of the metro. The newspaper calls the new rules for International Arrivals a travel crackdown. The telegraph says theres criticism of the new measures among some senior conservative mps and travel bosses. The new travel rules are also covered in the guardian, but the newspaper also reports on the start of Donald Trumps second Impeachment Trial. A different story in the mirror. It reports that a Hospital Trust is charging staff more than £500 a year to park. Parking charges for nhs workers make the front page of the express, too. The newspaper says theres outrage as doctors and nurses continue to battle covid. And some good news in the sun, it leads with findings, which suggest that even a single jab provides two thirds protection against coronavirus. Let us begin. We will look first of all at this border story, starting off with the metro newspaper. It puts it pretty simply, ten days in a hotel room or its ten year in a cell if you lie. Sebastian, how much of the person have to lie, do you think, to get that ten year sentence .

Its extraordinary and as| you can see on a whole bunch of the papers, there is backlash from some conservatives. Jeffrey cox and Dominic Grieve said this doesnt seem out of come portion proportion. Im willing to bet a lot of money that nobody will go to prison for ten years for lying about their travel routine. Obviously, what the government is doing here is trying to scare people and make sure they dont lie. This Hotel Quarantine plan has been in gestation for such a long time, its kind of remarkable how long its taken, particularly when you think were at a year into this pandemic and a took us months to get to the point when we are testing to people when they arrived in the uk, but tracking where they went and trying to make sure there are no variants. I imagine that liz could expand quite quickly at that list could explain. Its going to have a huge impact on the Travel Industry because its about 10,000 passenger or so a day, mostly essential Business Travel. Quite unlikely given this development. It does, particularly given the fact that that red list might change depending on where new variants are found. Lets look at the guardian. Covid travel Rule Breakers face risk of ten years in jail. Take covid travel Rule Breakers face risk of ten years injail. Take us through the guardian story. Its of ten years in jail. Take us through the guardian story. Its a re through the guardian story. Its a pretty extraordinary through the guardian story. Its a pretty extraordinary start through the guardian story. Its a pretty extraordinary start figure. One pretty extraordinary start figure. 0ne of pretty extraordinary start figure. One of the things that is quite interesting about this policy is even interesting about this policy is even though it seems extremely draconian, even though it seems extremely draconian, double testing on arrival. Draconian, double testing on arrival, up to £10,000 finds, sentences arrival, up to £10,000 finds, sentences up to ten years, theyre actually sentences up to ten years, theyre actually quite Significant Homes in this measures because there are plenty this measures because there are plenty of this measures because there are plenty of places where you may have to quarantine where you arrive. You can go to quarantine where you arrive. You can go home, to quarantine where you arrive. You can go home, we dont actually do testing can go home, we dont actually do testing on can go home, we dont actually do testing on arrival at airports. It does testing on arrival at airports. It does technically mean that you can travel does technically mean that you can travel on does technically mean that you can travel on Public Transport to the place travel on Public Transport to the place where youre quarantining without place where youre quarantining without having been tested when you set foot without having been tested when you set foot in without having been tested when you set foot in the uk, just relying on a test set foot in the uk, just relying on a test before you left. And there are plenty a test before you left. And there are plenty of countries not on this list, are plenty of countries not on this list. As are plenty of countries not on this list, as would be expected, that list, as would be expected, that lisl to list, as would be expected, that list to grow. But there are plenty of places list to grow. But there are plenty of places where the South African and brazilian variants have been discovered that arent on that list. So, discovered that arent on that list. So. There discovered that arent on that list. So, there are a lot of holes in it and i so, there are a lot of holes in it and i think so, there are a lot of holes in it and i think thats why its been criticised and i think thats why its been criticised as something that is really criticised as something that is really going to cause very significant harm to the Travel Industry significant harm to the Travel Industry. Theres no way anything and this industry. Theres no way anything and this is industry. Theres no way anything and this is going to keep anyjobs, but its and this is going to keep anyjobs, but its also and this is going to keep anyjobs, but its also leaky enough to potentially let new variants through. So, it feels like if it goes through. So, it feels like if it goes far through. So, it feels like if it goes far as matt hancock did in some of these goes far as matt hancock did in some of these levels, why not fill up the other of these levels, why not fill up the other holes . Of these levels, why not fill up the other holes . Lets look at some of the criticism other holes . Lets look at some of the criticism because other holes . Lets look at some of the criticism because the other holes . Lets look at some of the criticism because the daily the criticism because the Daily Telegraph has plenty. Ten years in jail for Holiday Makers who lie about going to portugal. Its not just portugal, it is the other on this list. But portugal is a story of significant relevance. There is a picture of matt hancock with one of his sleeves rolled up, which i know, sebastian payne, you have been studying online. Nevertheless, this article talks about the criticism. He is one of the countrys most senior legal minds, and he has been a long term critic of the government lockdown policy, mostly on a Civil Liberties basis. Im not sure how much patience there is behind it, but his article said that Health Secretary has finally lost connection with reality. That concern is shared by conservative mps, and the covid recover the group, a group of about 90 or so right wing conservatives, i imagine theyll be having their voices heard within parliament and within the media of the coming days, because as we are saying before, this is a very to crony and thing. Its not when i can particularly realistically. Its just sort of threaten people to say if youre going to go abroad, then this is the stick. A very draconian thing. I think its the sort of thing youre going to be looking at for repeat offenders, which you are very limited on this and i the reason the government is putting emphasis on this is the uks making terrific progress in the vaccinations. Then it will roll down to the over 50s after that. The more people you vaccinate, the more the current strains of covid in the uk start to get clamps. Irate current strains of covid in the uk start to get clamps. Current strains of covid in the uk start to get clamps. We always lose ou at the start to get clamps. We always lose you at the end start to get clamps. We always lose you at the end of start to get clamps. We always lose you at the end of a start to get clamps.

Jessica latest results show strains are largely static. Is this something we could believe in for a day . Week keep coming back to the. The believe in for a day . Week keep coming back to the. Coming back to the. The Deputy Medical Officer coming back to the. The Deputy Medical Officer was coming back to the. The Deputy Medical Officer was quite coming back to the. The Deputy Medical Officer was quite optimistic about Medical Officer was quite optimistic about how Medical Officer was quite optimistic about how the government was managing to keep these new variants under managing to keep these new variants under control or at least managing to keep under control or at least managing to keep citing them. There is very low at to keep citing them. There is very low at the to keep citing them. There is very low at the moment incidents of the south low at the moment incidents of the South African variant in the uk. I think South African variant in the uk. I think its South African variant in the uk. I think its about 150 cases. You would think its about 150 cases. You would expect that probably to be around would expect that probably to be around the low thousands because they cant around the low thousands because they cant pick up every case. Theyve they cant pick up every case. Theyve managed to put this into the areas theyve managed to put this into the areas that theyve managed to put this into the areas that need it. The bristol variant areas that need it. The bristol variant that weve been talking about variant that weve been talking about today, which is also raising another about today, which is also raising another load of concerns, obviously that shows another load of concerns, obviously that shows that Border Policies themselves cant guard against new variants themselves cant guard against new variants. Which can emerge here, especially variants. Which can emerge here, especially when weve still got quite especially when weve still got quite high infection rates. So, that obviously quite high infection rates. So, that obviously is quite high infection rates. So, that obviously is a concern but at the nronrent, obviously is a concern but at the moment, the Vaccine Programme is still extremely important because of course, still extremely important because of course, the vast majority of those people course, the vast majority of those people in course, the vast majority of those people in this country catching the virus people in this country catching the virus are people in this country catching the virus are catching the kind of virus the vaccine virus are catching the kind of virus the vaccine works very effectively against the vaccine works very effectively against. So, its still increasingly inrportant. Against. So, its still increasingly important, but it does raise questions i think will make the forecast questions i think will make the forecast of lifting restrictions a bit more forecast of lifting restrictions a bit more pessimistic, especially the government needs to plough ahead with an government needs to plough ahead with an auto booster dry. Government needs to plough ahead with an auto booster dry. Picking up on the logistics with an auto booster dry. Picking up on the logistics of with an auto booster dry.

They cant share rooms, what happens . Hotel uuarantine share rooms, what happens . Hotel quarantine is share rooms, what happens . Hotel quarantine is one share rooms, what happens . Hotel quarantine is one of share rooms, what happens . Hotel quarantine is one of those share rooms, what happens . Hotel quarantine is one of those things lots of people would say why arent we doing this anyway . Is absolutely obvious that we should be doing Everything Possible to keep new variants out, but the logistics of this are very, very complex. As well as the reason its taken long, and the government i hope to get things running because no hotel wants to be held responsible if someone catches covid. Who is responsible for that is obviously a key question. The processes are in place to make sure people go straight into quarantine, they dont come into contact with other people. Whos driving the bus . Whos providing the food . Arc this alcove and train . The fact is the uk is a very. Are the staff covid trained. The current rate is about 10,000 people or so coming into the uk every single day. That number will decrease. There are 30 countries of the moment, but the government doesnt know how big its going to be in the way australia gets around, by having a. People only in the thousands can come in every day. Essential Business Travel as well. If the uk does find itself, struggling, this does have a real human consequence. Its notjust people going on holiday, its engineers, its scientists, its diplomats, its people going to funeral, its people say goodbye to their families. Funeral, its people say goodbye to theirfamilies. It obviously funeral, its people say goodbye to their families. It obviously is the right thing to do. No one is disputing that, but it does cause a lot of complication. The question everyone will be asking very soon once we get into a better place with covid is whats the Exit Strategy . How do we exit Hotel Quarantine once its in place . Ten how do we exit Hotel Quarantine once its in place . Its in place . Ten days in a hotel room near its in place .

Netflix dranras the us government. Netflix dramas. His praise in a tweet after they went dramas. His praise in a tweet after they went into the us capital. Even though they went into the us capital. Even though he they went into the us capital. Even though he says go home, we love you, he talks though he says go home, we love you, he talks about being a remarkable day. He talks about being a remarkable day and he talks about being a remarkable day. And the democrats, they begun the process day. And the democrats, they begun the process which is very unlikely to ultimately have donald trump fornrally to ultimately have donald trump formally impeached at the end of it because formally impeached at the end of it because you need a super majority in order because you need a super majority in order to because you need a super majority in order to do because you need a super majority in order to do that, even the gym democrats have the majority now. Even democrats have the majority now. Even though democrats have the majority now. Even though democrats. There are lots of even though democrats. There are lots of debates about does this fire up lots of debates about does this fire up the lots of debates about does this fire up the trump base to have him seen as a nrartyr, up the trump base to have him seen as a martyr, does he give him more publicity . As a martyr, does he give him more publicity . The other question is you dont publicity . The other question is you dont impeach a president for insurrection, what do you impeach thenr insurrection, what do you impeach thenr for . Insurrection, what do you impeach thenr for . If insurrection, what do you impeach them for . If not to set a president that this them for . If not to set a president that this sort of thing this is an acceptable set a precedent. I think acceptable set a precedent. I think well acceptable set a precedent. I think well hear a lot of those arguments over the coming days. Sebastian arguments over the coming days. Sebastian payne, you know the rules. Do you know the rules of the us senate . , do you know the rules of the us senate . You do you know the rules of the us senate .

I was going to say the fact is there is a lot we suspense sorry. I was going to say the fact is there is a lot we can the fact is there is a lot we can see in terms of evidence being brought in from different senators who want to raise elements about this. We saw the Opening Statement from trumps lawyers us, saying the president four words did not lead to this insurrection. But ultimately, the sad thing about this is its not going to change anybody� s mind that the American Election was incredibly divisive. We Knowjoe Biden got the most votes of any president in us history, but the second time, it was donald trump with millions of millions of americans who think the election was illegitimate and they think this impeachment is a sham. I think this impeachment is a sham. I think the most interesting thing to watch is what the republicans do because the party hasnt decided, does it stick with donald trump and hang onto that maga base, or does it go back to a more traditional republican, like we saw with george w. Bush orjohn mccain . I think the way the republicans had to split, we have some indication based on reports. They expect at least five republicans will break, which is not enough to get the majority of 60. Ourfinal story tonight enough to get the majority of 60. Our final story tonight is also from sebastian paynes newspaper the financial times. Apologises after telling pandemic it staff to stop. Is this the winner . I telling pandemic it staff to stop.

Good evening. Im gavin ramjaun, with the latest from the bbc sport centre. Lets start with the fifth round of the fa cup two ties tonight, and Manchester United have booked their place in the quarterfinals. They were made to work for the win over west ham at old trafford. 0 0 after 90 minutes, but Scott Mctominay popped up with a really well taken winner to settle the tie seven minutes into extra time. United through to the quarters for a record seventh season in a row. Meanwhile, premier League Burnley have been knocked out by championship side bournemouth. Sam surridge and Junior Stanislas got the goals for the side who sacked their manager last week. The former england defender jonathan woodgate, in Temporary Charge as manager, taking bournemouth into the quarterfinals for the first time in 64 years. The england Captainjoe Root praised James Anderson as a playerfor the big moments after his devastating spell of bowling helped them to a big win over india in the first test. It puts them one up in the four match series, asjoe lynskey reports. Just after eight this morning, he sent one down and sealed the test match. England was so far and headed for the routine, but this is far from it. India had not lost here for 22 years, they have not lost any test at home since 2017. But live on free to air tv, england found something and got the nation talking. Its a unit, they play together and i know theyre very close as a group. It felt like england was hosting india in india. It was really special. Very proud of the way we played. Weve got something to work for now. Englands chance of winning character gain pace. Englands chance of winning gained pace. At 38, if anything hes getting quicker. Taking wickets in india or nine years ago, but is he bowing better now . Yes, certainly, yeah. If you like im Getting Better and if you like i can still improve i do not see how mike cannot get better. I feel like im ifeel like im Getting Better. Ifeel like im Getting Better. I do ifeel like im Getting Better. I do not ifeel like im Getting Better. I do not see ifeel like im Getting Better. I do not see how ifeel like im Getting Better. I do not see how i ifeel like im Getting Better. I do not see how i cant ifeel like im Getting Better. I do not see how i cant get i i do not see how i cant get better the redemption, he got four wickets when earlier in the week he had been hit around the ground. He has come back from longer term setbacks and he went through depression when cricket when inside a bubble and he plays on with crohns disease, which hes had since age 14. His example may spur them on. Everything he does is for the team. England everything he does is for the team. England have a group they look like they have every player they have working to the role for the team. England will have to do that in 2012, the word is this team wants the same. England are an extremely good team especially in this conditions, and theyre a very proud nation as well. Ijust think theyre onto Something Special this year. Theyve got something going in this test match team. England have three days to celebrate before retakes again. Theyre back on saturday. British number Onejohanna Konta is out of the australian open. She was forced to retire from her first round match in melbourne. She was leading the slovenian Qualifier Kaja Juvan in the first set but encountered some discomfort and took a medical time out. She came back and won the first set. But it was early in the second, with her opponent two games up, that konta conceded the match. She endured a difficult season last year with a knee injury. I dont really know what to make of it yet. I think this because its happened so recently, i feel like in a State Of Shock like having an out of Body Experience and little experience with acute injuries and having to withdraw and that is knock on wood, very lucky i havent had too much experience with that. So, this is a Learning Curve for me and its a new experience. Elsewhere today, Cameron Norrie won an all british clash, knocking out the british number one dan evans. Evans was in decent form coming into the tournament, having won a tour event just last week. But he said he struggled with fatigue, and so its norrie who qualifies for the second round in melbourne for the first time in his career. Franjones at the top of the screen was knocked out, in what was her first match in the main draw of a grand slam. She performed well in the opening set against the american shelby rogers, but she couldnt keep pace in the second, losing in straight sets. It leaves Heather Watson as the only british woman into the second round. Despite claims she didnt feel as fit as usual after her 14 day quarantine, she beat kristyna pliskova. Lets bring you up to date with some of the other results from melbourne park. And rafa nadal allayed any fears over his fitness with a win over serbias laslo djere. Nadal missed the atp cup last week after struggling with a back injury, but won in straight sets and will play American World number 177 michael mmoh in the second round. Arguably the performance of the day came from Home Favourite ashleigh barty. The australian was ruthless against the montenegrin danka kovinic, winning 6 0, 6 0 injust 44 minutes. The Executive Chairman of super league, robert elstone, is set to stand down after offering his resignation. Hes been in the post for two and a half years and survived a vote of no confidence in november. His decision to step down comes just 44 days before the start of the new 2021 season, and the Super League Board says it will meet before making a comment. And britains laura muirs Set A New British indoor record at the world indoor tour meeting in lievin in france. She did it in the 1500m, but it was an achievement that was overshadowed by race winner gudaf tsegay from ethiopia, who set a new world indoor record. And thats all the sport for now. Hello. The cold snap across the uk continues. And no sign of anything milder for the remainder of this week. Very cold nights ahead and some pretty bitterly cold days as well. A subtle change for today is that the wind will be lighter than it has been on monday and tuesday, though perhaps it wont feel quite as raw, but its still an easterly or northeasterly wind. Still some chains of showers being fed in, some making their way a reasonable way westwards. Some of the heaviest snow on wednesday possibly for kent and sussex, the southeast of scotland and the northeast of england. As we move overnight wednesday into thursday, ive got the pressure pattern on behind me, notice how the isobars open up. The wind becomes much lighter. Now, as i said, that wind has made it feel very raw through the early part of the week, but for very cold nights, what you need are very light winds, and that is what we will have to take us into thursday morning. And thats important because at the moment, thats indicating signs that for some areas to the south of the uk, these are the temperatures of the towns and cities. We could have the coldest night in around a decade for some of the suburbs of london, for example. Thursday, dawn, icy but with a lot of sunshine. There will be quite a bit of fair weather and largely light winds, a few north sea showers. Temperatures, well, scraping just above freezing. Towards the west, perhaps three degrees for belfast and plymouth. Notice a little frontal system trying to push its way in here. This is the first signs of something a bit milder trying to approach from the atlantic. Friday, it still looks like itll be the High Pressure in the east and the cold air, though, that will dominate. We could see some more organised snow showers for a time running into the northeast of scotland. Towards the west, i think advancing cloud through the day turning any sunshine hazy, but 4 degrees in belfast, 5 degrees in plymouth. Some signs of something milder trying to head in. Subzero, though, further east across the uk. And then for the weekend, its that classic battleground that we so often talk about High Pressure in the east pushing the cold air away, low pressure trying to come in from the atlantic and bring in something milder. At the moment, it looks like by sunday, we could start to see some significant improvement in our temperatures. But before that, there is the possibility of some further snowfall, but this time pushing into the west as we begin our transition. This is bbc news. Im James Reynolds with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. The second Impeachment Trial against donald trump begins in the us senate. Hes accused of inciting the mob attack on the capitol building. The lead democrat says the case against mr trump is clear. You ask what a high crime and misdemeanour is under our constitution. Thats a high crime and misdemeanour. If thats not an impeachable offence, then there is no such thing. For Donald Trumps lawyers, this trial is about Freedom Of Speech and a warning over its consequences. We are really here because the majority in the House Of Representatives does not want to face donald trump as a political rival in the future. A World Health Organization investigation concludes coronavirus didnt originate from a lab in china, but they cant say where it did come from
