hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rachel cunliffe, deputy online editor at the new statesman, and the former conservative adviser mo hussein. let's ta ke let's take a look at some of tomorrow's front pages. the i is one of several papers to report — once again — with the mps�* standards row. it claims tory backbenchers are in revolt at the way borisjohnson has handled the sleaze allegations. the telegraph leads on comments made by the pm to a meeting of tory backbenchers, admitting — reportedly — that he "crashed the car" over the way he dealt with the scandal. the times has the same story, but leads with claims the home office is planning to fly cross—channel migrants to albania for processing. the daily mail splashes on the rise in the cost of living, saying a combination of higher inflation, tax rises and interest rate hikes could cost people £2,000 a year each. the guardian reports on changes to the way social care is paid for, saying poorer people could find the system less generous than originally thought. the ft carries the row between amazon and visa, saying the online retailer is to stop taking payments from visa credit cards. the mirror has an interview with a security guard who raced to help the taxi driver involved in sunday's bomb blast in liverpool. he was told, "someone�*s blown me up." while the metro has an update on the health of the queen, showing her resuming official duties at a meeting with the outgoing chief of the defence staff. let's begin, and we start with the story on the front page of the telegraph. we heard a lot from the prime minister, we heard from him in the commons and giving evidence to a committee of mps. this was behind closed doors— give us an insight into the anger in his own party over this? ., , , into the anger in his own party over this? . , , ., ., ., this? there really is a lot of anger in the party- _ this? there really is a lot of anger in the party- i— this? there really is a lot of anger in the party. i think _ this? there really is a lot of anger in the party. i think mps - this? there really is a lot of anger in the party. i think mps feel- in the party. i think mps feel humiliated at the fact that they marched on this hill, were asked to vote for something they were not particularly happy about, only then for the government to u—turn. in mps are the ones who have to face their constituents and try to explain the government's behaviour on this. so i think the prime minister did get a bit of a hard time at this group meeting of influential conservative mps behind closed doors. now this is probably one of the closest things you can get to an apology, he has acknowledged his mistake previously — but this is really about party management as well, because even though there is a majority of ad, you just need a0 mps to rebel in your majority evaporates —— 80. i think there is some concern within the government about rebuilding trust and relationships with the mps. and mps are annoyed for different reasons, as well, you have the older guard who are annoyed that the older guard who are annoyed that the mishandling has led to much more scrutiny about second jobs and how much they can earn on the side, and then you have the new intake who are in much more marginal seats who are probably thinking, when on earth can we do a second job? we are too busy being visible to our constituents. on both sides the prime minister will be having a tough time. rachel, our take will be having a tough time. rachel, your take

admission of mistakes and as close to an apology is the prime minister was going to give — do you think that's enough to deal with this, or will this rumble on? i enough to deal with this, or will this rumble on?— this rumble on? i think this'll 'ust ut a this rumble on? i think this'll 'ust put a spotlight i this rumble on? i think this'll 'ust put a spotlight on i this rumble on? i think

reckons that fewer than ten mps will be hit by the rule changes. you're saying some senior mps might be angry they've lost the option of making money through second roles or consultancies — but if you are than ten piece will be hit by the rule changes, it won't have as much impact on them —— fewer than ten mps? impact on them -- fewer than ten mps? , ., ., mps? the devil is in the detail on these things. _ mps? the devil is in the detail on these things, and _ mps? the devil is in the detail on these things, and the _ mps? the devil is in the detail on i these things, and the government's proposals, even though they've been voted through, or quite vague. they talk about what's reasonable, but what do you define as reasonable? how many hours related to earnings? can the government even say how many people will be affected by this? so this just leads to more scrutiny and more debate, which means people will still be focusing on this when the government wants to focus elsewhere. and it feels like this is the classic fudge where you've annoyed everyone so you need to try and find a way through, which will cause you probably the least amount of problems. but the key point here is that you need cross party consensus and agreement — and i'm just not sure i can see that happening anytime soon, because the labour party will be looking at some sort of longer—term mileage on this, because they see this as a bit of an open goal that the government has created. ., �* _ open goal that the government has created. ., �* ., created. you're saying about the desire to concentrate _

the front page of the orchard post, because this seems 0rchard post, because this seems like it could be another row brewing over... dashed yorkshire post. it's not the most exciting titles, but it does have a real impact on a lot of people and i suppose this is why there's so much concerned about what these plans look like compared to how they were originally drawn up for high—speed links

but a _ these tracks built in tory seats." but a huge — these tracks built in tory seats." but a huge amount of disappointment that the _ but a huge amount of disappointment that the north will knock

you are advising the government at the time?— government at the time? we spoke about interconnectivity _ government at the time? we spoke about interconnectivity and - government at the time? we spoke about interconnectivity and hs - about interconnectivity and hs three, so it's been... there's been a gap between what was spoken about and what was promised over the years, and what we are expecting to hear tomorrow in terms of the delivery. now the government may see this as looking at what is a quick win here and establish some changes, so people can point to a difference. the other idea of doing the rounds in the government, things have changed, more people are working in a hybrid weight working from home, will everybody really want to use this transport system? but i don't really think that will wash because like i said, people voted for more investment and connectivity, the promise of leveling out. and i do think people will remember that and expect that to be delivered. so let's see how long this lasts and what the reaction is notjust from... but also from conservative mps like jake berry, so let's just see how that all plays out, as well. turning to the front page of the times, it has this development, the home office apparently looking to fly people who have crossed the channel illegally to albania for processing. it says the plan would cost £100,000 per asylum—seekers — this is a really interesting move, but one that's not without controversy, rachel? it but one that's not without controversy, rachel? but one that's not without controvers , rachel? .

announced _ big impact on certain people. ti 3 was announced yesterday in what is already quite a busy week politically. the £86,000 cap, i think the general expectation was that it would be a combination of private funding and means tested funding that people may be able to get from their local councils when it comes to social care costs. it was revealed yesterday that it would just be private funding. so there is a real question now around the impact of this on people who live perhaps in the northern part of the country, northern redwall seat whose house value would be around £90,000 — would they be getting the same amount as someone living in surrey whose house value may be in excess of a quarter of a million? the detail of this will be voted on next week, but we've seen a lot about this, a dividing line between mps who reference to represent different parts of the country and the impact on their constituents. the wider question being that social care will be expensive and it does have to be paid for in some way — but is this the fairest and easiest to explain? let's see what the vote says. find let's see what the vote says. and other big story. — let's

living has risen at the fastest rate in almost a decade, the male having calculated that will hit people to the tune of £2000 a year. it's not necessarily purely by demand, which often contributes to inflation, but this is being driven by the cost of fuel and the goods that go into making the products because of supply chain problems which means it may last longer than just a short blip. which

with a nice, upbeat story — picture on the front page of the metro, how wonderful to see the queen back fulfilling her royal duties, in the first image as we've seen of her majesty since we were told of her back injury which stopped her attending the remembrance sunday service at the cenotaph. almost every other 95—year—old, they could easily sit back, have time to recover — there must�*ve been some sort of concern of not being invisible and not being seen, and the queen herself would've felt a need to put people's minds at ease and reassure them by being visible and appearing at an engagement like this. definitely, i think for somebody _ engagement like this. definitely, i think for somebody who _ engagement like this. definitely, i think for somebody who has - engagement like this. definitely, i think for somebody who has been | engagement like this. definitely, i. think for somebody who has been so committed and devoted pretty much her entire life to the sense of public service, missing things like cop26 and the remembrance service would have been quite a big thing for her personally. so just being visible and having a meeting, getting pictures of that was clearly a deliberate strategy by a comms team to show that she was back in action and was getting on with the dayjob. it was quite important even though there wasn't an address to the public or anything like that, just seeing her back i think would've been important for her and probably was important for all of us, as well. we probably was important for all of us. as well-— probably was important for all

we are out of time, but thank you very much for talking - us, as well. we are out of time, but thank you very much for talking us | thank you very much for talking us through the papers. look forward to speaking with you again very soon. that is it for the papers tonight, see you soon. good evening. this is the latest from the bbc sport centre. the former yorkshire cricketer, azeem rafiq, has told the bbc his evidence to mps yesterday about racism in the sport was more powerful than anything he could have done on the pitch. he says he hopes it will have "woken a lot of people up," and that both cricket and society should seize the moment as an opportunity for change. yesterday, mr rafiq gave details to a commons committee about the racial slurs he'd been subjected to when he played for yorkshire. he's been talking to our sports editor, dan roan. he's gone from county cricketer to game—changing whistle—blower and, a day after taking his allegations of institutional racism to westminster, azeem rafiq told me he'd been overwhelmed by the response he'd received. i'm incredibly relieved. it felt like a massive weight off my shoulders. i spoke to my dad last night. what did he say? he was just really proud of me and he said, look, no runs or wickets could have done what i did yesterday and i should be really proud of myself. rafiq's harrowing testimony to mps laid bare the racism he suffered at his former club. i'm very determined that this is going to be looked back as the moment where not only sport, but society as a whole, went in a different direction to where it's been going. it's really important that we don't let this moment go and try and use this moment as real watershed moment for the future. the ecb has been criticised for their handling of the crisis. chief executive tom harrison admitting to the committee that the sport he runs was facing an emergency over diversity. he's probably got a few months where we need to see some tangible changes, and i think if there's not something that changes in the next few months, then i think the patience is going to run out. on a chastening day for cricket, several high—profile names, including two former yorkshire stars, matthew hoggard and tim bresnan, both of whom have apologised to rafiq, were dragged into the scandal. tonight, ex—england batsman alex hales categorically denied any racial connotation in naming his dog, as alleged by rafiq yesterday. former england captain and now top pundit michael vaughan had already denied rafiq's claim that he made a racist remark to a group of asian players in 2009, so what does the whistle—blower think should now happen to his old yorkshire team—mates? people who apologise, they deserve a second chance. people in denial, unfortunately, i think there's got to be a level of accountability there and it's for their employers to send out a message whether they are going to give the green light to racism or they're going to stamp it out. with the crisis engulfing yorkshire, more than 1,000 people have contacted an independent commission for equity in cricket since it was launched last week. you're going to be heard, and whether anyone else stands by you or not, i'll stand by you. many hope this episode proves a wake—up call for the game's authorities, but regaining trust will not be easy. dan roan, bbc news. to football now — arsenal continued their fine form with a 3—0 win over danish side hb koge in the women's champions league group game. caitlin foord got them off the mark after 15 minutes, and it took them until the second half to make the game safe. two late goals from lotte wubben—moy and this vivianne miedema wrapped things up for the gunners. arsenal look set to seal second place and a place in the quarter finals with a draw in their remaining two games. dean smith has told the norwich fans he can keep the club in the premier league. having returned to managementjust a week after he was sacked by aston villa, smith believes there's enough quality in the squad to survive. if i thought it was a risk, i wouldn't have taken it. we've got 27 games left in the premier league. there's a lot of points to play for. we're just on the back of a win. i've seen how progressive this club has been. yes, it's been difficult in the premier league so far, and mine and craig'sjob is to keep us in the league. and that's firmly what we believe we can do. cameron norrie had a whirlwind day at the atp tour finals in turin. he was called into the tournament at lunchtime as a replacement for the injured stefanos tsitsipas. hours later, norrie, the british number one, was on court against casper ruud. but he lost in three sets and can't now qualify for the semi finals, and faces world number one novak djokovic next in the group stages. well, djokovic is already through to the semi—finals after beating russian andrey rublev in straight sets. the world number one was in complete control throughout, taking the first set 6—3 before serving out the match with an ace, 6—2 in the second. djokovic's 50th win of the year also ensures that he will top the green group. george ford has called his decision to leave leicester tigers at the end of the season to join sale sharks, the "most difficult of his career". the england fly—half has had two stints with leicester, re—joining in 2017 from bath — and has helped the side win eight from eight as they top the premiership. ford added that he's "excited to play rugby for his local club". and south africa's director of rugby rassie erasmus has been banned from all rugby activity for two months. it's because he made an hour—long video criticising officials afterjuly�*s defeat in the first test against the british and irish lions. and that's all the sport from us for now. hello there. the weather isn't changing in too much of a hurry over the next few days, because high pressure keeping things dry, settled, and very mild still for this time of year. so another mild and quite breezy day to come on thursday. dry weather for most of us, but not everywhere. we have got this weather front sitting close to the north of scotland, so that'll produce outbreaks of rain mainly for northern and western scotland, but high pressure to the south dominating the weather for most places. and, with that high pressure, we're drawing in winds in a south—westerly direction, so bringing the mild air and the orange colours really right across the uk. might be a bit of a chilly start for some southern and eastern parts of england first thing, the odd misty patch around. generally, the cloud will increase from the west through the day, but there will be some spells of sunshine for east anglia and the southeast, up towards eastern scotland, as well. still a bit of rain to come for the northwest of scotland, but the breeze blowing over the mountains is likely to create something called a foehn effect, lifting temperatures to around 17 celsius for aberdeen sure. widely ia—is the top temperature — and compare that to the average temperature this time of year of only about nine celsius, so well above average. it'll be windy again particularly in the northwest, with gusts of wind around a0 mph, but lighter winds further south. so through thursday evening now and heading overnight into friday, it'll be a pretty cloudy picture. a bit of low cloud and hill fog likely, some drizzle around some coastal hills in the west once again. but it will be a very mild and certainly frost—free start to friday morning, but we've still got that rain continuing across the western isles and northern highland, as well. into friday, no great changes — there's that weather front across the north of scotland, there's the high pressure in charge for most places. so quite a cloudy picture, i think, but predominantly dry through the day on friday, away from the north and northwest of scotland where we've got that weather front continuing to bring outbreaks of rain. temperatures again getting up to ia—is, even 16 celsius through the foehn effect once again through the east of scotland. it won't last forever, this mild weather, though — into the weekend, saturday, we'll see a cold front moving south across the northern half of the uk. into sunday, that slips its way further south, and it'll introduce the blue colours, the colder air mass with these northerly winds moving across all areas. so gradually through the weekend, things will be turning colder. we'll still look at temperatures in double figures through the day on saturday but, by the time we get to sunday, things will be noticeably cooler — maybe time to dig out the winter coat. bye for now. welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore. i'm karishma vaswani. the
