hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sian elvin, deputy news editor at metro.co.uk, and kieran andrews, political editor of the times scotland. more from them in a moment. but for me, an update on the front pages. boosterjabs lead on the front of the financial times, reporting on the expansion of the vaccine programme in response to the omicron variant. as the programme is extended to all adults and teenagers, the mirror also leads on boosters, cutting the gap between second and third doses. the metro says fourth doses will be given to people at higher risk. the headline on the times is "scramble to getjabs in arms". the guardian says the government hopes to reach as many as half a millionjabs a day. it also reports that ministers want the nhs to reduce booster waiting time to three months. but on the telegraph, president biden says there's "no cause for panic", with new restrictions helping to deal with omicron. meanwhile, the express reports the booster programme extension will "buy time" and "protect the christmas festivities". meanwhile, away from jabs, the mail leads on ghislaine maxwell's trial, on charges linked to her relationship with the convicted six offender, jeffrey epstein. she denies trafficking and grooming under—age girls. let's begin, can you kick us off this time? let's begin on the metro. this is the metro's reading on the booster vaccine stuart ryan combat —— to try and combat the new variant that has arrived in the uk, there is now six cases in scotland, taking it to a total of about... it's very likely, all public health officials say it's very likely that there will be many more cases to be confirmed. the difference between now and last year, when the delta variant emerged around about this time, is we have a vaccine programme. it's rolled out for the vast majority of people with two jabs now across the uk, we will see governments step up their boosters for third and, in some cases for the most vulnerable, fourth doses of the vaccine in an attempt to maintain relative normality, so it can't cause the disruption that we saw last year with a potential knock on effects for people's health.— with a potential knock on effects for people's health. what's clear from all the _ for people's health. what's clear from all the papers _ for people's health. what's clear from all the papers is _ for people's health. what's clear from all the papers is this - from all the papers is this acceleration of the programme of firstjabs, than boosters. we are looking like we'll be using even more of these vaccine doses, and the problem remains for many parts of the world — something joe biden referred to in his statement — that they still aren't getting vaccinated. earlier today, we were speaking to him just earlier, he said it would only take us to pause, the western world, to pause for a month and they could get the rest of the world vaccinated. that's a shocking statistic in many ways, that we've scooped up that much of the vaccine programme. absolutely, and at the moment _ the vaccine programme. absolutely, and at the moment it's _ the vaccine programme. absolutely, and at the moment it's 11 _ the vaccine programme. absolutely, and at the moment it's 11 ks - the vaccine programme. absolutely, and at the moment it's 11 ks at -- i and at the moment it's 11 ks at —— cases_ and at the moment it's 11 ks at —— cases in_ and at the moment it's 11 ks at —— cases in the — and at the moment it's 11 ks at —— cases in the uk. the government wants_ cases in the uk. the government wants to — cases in the uk. the government wants to act now to deliver on this booster_ wants to act now to deliver on this booster drive. but we are discussing a third _ booster drive. but we are discussing a third jah— booster drive. but we are discussing a third jab and a does for the most vulnerable —— fourth dose. but how will that _ vulnerable —— fourth dose. but how will that look? at the moment we are 'ust will that look? at the moment we are just trying _ will that look? at the moment we are just trying to get through this current— just trying to get through this current wave. if you look across the world, _ current wave. if you look across the world, this — current wave. if you look across the world, this focus on western countries _ world, this focus on western countries having to go back into iockdowrt — countries having to go back into lockdown. some people are having to have their— lockdown. some people are having to have their third or fourth doses— where _ have their third or fourth doses— where will— have their third or fourth doses— where will that stop if that's a third — where will that stop if that's a third or— where will that stop if that's a third or fourth dose after a three month— third or fourth dose after a three month wait? will there be a fifth or sixth? _ month wait? will there be a fifth or sixth? as_ month wait? will there be a fifth or sixth? as you say, we've scooped up all these _ sixth? as you say, we've scooped up all these vaccines, and that remains a problem — all these vaccines, and that remains a problem. as experts have previously said many times, the world _ previously said many times, the world needs to come together — it's a global— world needs to come together — it's a global issue and, in order to overcome _ a global issue and, in order to overcome the virus, or at least get it down— overcome the virus, or at least get it down to — overcome the virus, or at least get it down to a — overcome the virus, or at least get it down to a point where the world can live _ it down to a point where the world can live with it, the focus definitely needs to be notjust on the uk _ definitely needs to be notjust on the uk in — definitely needs to be notjust on the uk in the western world, but looking _ the uk in the western world, but looking to — the uk in the western world, but looking to those countries that are worse _ looking to those countries that are worse off, — looking to those countries that are worse off, and going forward that will he _ worse off, and going forward that will he a — worse off, and going forward that will be a worry.— will be a worry. now and you get a look at yours. _ will be a worry. now and you get a look at yours, you _ will be a worry. now and you get a look at yours, you get _ will be a worry. now and you get a look at yours, you get a _ will be a worry. now and you get a look at yours, you get a look- will be a worry. now and you get a look at yours, you get a look at. look at yours, you get a look at his, the front page of the times scotland. i his, the front page of the times scotland. ~ his, the front page of the times scotland. ,, ., �* , his, the front page of the times scotland. ~ ., v ., ,, , scotland. i think what's absently clear, scotland. i think what's absently clear. what _ scotland. i think what's absently clear, what he _ scotland. i think what's absently clear, what he mentioned - scotland. i think what's absently| clear, what he mentioned earlier that there — clear, what he mentioned earlier that there is a scramble to get this thing _ that there is a scramble to get this thing which the country has above last year— thing which the country has above last year - — thing which the country has above last year — last year around this time, _ last year — last year around this time, there _ last year — last year around this time, there were concerns over the delta _ time, there were concerns over the delta variant, and it is very reminiscent of this omicron variant. it's reminiscent of this omicron variant. it's been _ reminiscent of this omicron variant. it's been described by the health secretary and jonathan van tam earlier— secretary and jonathan van tam earlier as — secretary and jonathan van tam earlier as this new kid on the block. — earlier as this new kid on the block. we _ earlier as this new kid on the block, we don't exactly freddy tyiicki — block, we don't exactly freddy tylicki know what effect it will have — tylicki know what effect it will have on — tylicki know what effect it will have on the effectiveness of vaccines _ have on the effectiveness of vaccines on how ill this makes people — vaccines on how ill this makes people. but this is the one thing this country has ahead of last year. and of— this country has ahead of last year. and of course, the thing that everybody is concerned about is christmas, and whether people will be able _ christmas, and whether people will be able to— christmas, and whether people will be able to spend it with their families, _ be able to spend it with their families, as it was of course cancelled _ families, as it was of course cancelled last minute last year. the thin that cancelled last minute last year. tie: thing that struck me cancelled last minute last year. tte: thing that struck me in this piece by your whitehall editor, i think it appears on the scotland edition of the times, as well, under this very striking picture of sarah ranson, one of the women who alleges that calin maxwell was involved in the trafficking of people —— ghislaine maxwell. there's no danger of her not being photographed going into court. the statistics of 17 point mine —— 17.9 million boosters — in other words, we are in some ways short of a 50% booster take up already, and now we will be accelerating the programme?

and the us. i thought was - interesting and quite striking, the telegraph picks up on that— when you look at whatjoe biden is saying, he's saying don't panic, there's actually the same message from uk leaders. where your mask and carry on with the vaccine programme. the practical measures that are being taken, there's not as much of a gap as it may appear from the language being used byjoe biden and the tape of the telegraph has written up on this. �* . , of the telegraph has written up on this. �* , , , of the telegraph has written up on this. d , , ,, this. it's very interesting because, as ou this. it's very interesting because, as you say. _ this. it's very interesting because, as you say. the — this. it's very interesting because, as you say, the measures -

"i went down and it went black," he said. graham gibbons�*s defences that the fall was a result of a racing accident occasioned by the two horses coming together. topjockeys ryan moore and jim crowley are due to give evidence in the trial, which will examine the duty of care between jockeys. patrick lawrence qc representing graham gibbons warned there could be multiple ramifications if incidence of this kind end up in court, and warned this could create all kinds of difficulties for professional sport, notjust horse racing. next to boxing — kell brook says he's going to send amir khan into retirement, after their long—awaited clash was finally confirmed. after years of failed negotiations, the long—term rivals have finally agreed to the all—british showdown on 19 february, in manchester. brook hasn't fought since being stopped in the fourth round by terence crawford a year ago, while khan won a points decision over australia's billy dib injanuary. england captain, joe root, said he has spoken to his former yorkshire team—mate, azeem rafiq, and they plan to meet up after the ashes tour in australia. rafiq has said he thinks the english game is "institutionally racist" and he was hurt that root couldn't "recall" any instances of racism occuring whilst they played together at yorkshire. yeah, we've exchanged a couple messages since — quite recently, actually — and hopefully when we finish this tour, we'll get the opportunity to sit down and talk, you know, about this whole situation, about how we can move the game forward. and, you know, as i mentioned in my statement, as well, along with talking to azeem, i wanted to speak to lord patel at the club, and those dialogues have started, as well. so i think it's important that we keep finding ways of bettering the sport, finding ways how we can individually affect things for the better, and make a real change in this. seven—time champion ronnie o'sullivan is through to the last 16 of snooker�*s uk championship. he beat long—time rival mark king by six frames to three at the barbican, making a century and five 50—plus breaks in another excellent performance. he'll face noppon saengkham or stuart bingham in the next round. but three—time uk championship winnerjohn higgins is out. he lost to china's zhao xintong, 6—5. before we go, some sad news to bring you. a pioneer of the golfing world, lee elder, has died at the age of 87. the american was the first black man to play in the masters, making history in 1975 at a tournament many saw as an embodiment of the racism that was a large part of the sport in america at the time. the lpga have described him as "the definition of a trailblazer". that's all your sport for now. over on the bbc sport website, you can hearfrom tiger woods and why he doesn't expect to return to the tour full—time following his car accident in february. but from me and the team for now, goodnight. hello there. it certainly has been a cold few days across the uk. but in recent hours, things have been changing — more cloud has been rolling its way in from the west, and with that, we've seen some milder air pushing in, these westerly winds bringing those milder conditions for most of us, away from the far north of scotland. so for the majority, tuesday morning is starting with a very different feel — temperatures in liverpool, in plymouth, around 11 celsius. but with that, we have more in the way of cloud, and we have some outbreaks of patchy rain and drizzle. now through the day, that cloud should thin and break a little bit to give some sunny spells, particularly across england and wales. and then through the afternoon, we'll see a band of heavier rain pushing in from the west, getting into parts of northern ireland and western scotland with strengthening winds. but top temperatures 10—12 celsius in most places — it will stay quite chilly in the far north of scotland, just three there in loic. now through tuesday night, we're watching this area of low pressure — it's likely to deepen a little as it slides across the uk, so, as well as outbreaks of rain, we have the potential for some quite strong winds. now it certainly doesn't look like we'll see anything as windy as we have over the weekend, but still, the potential for some really strong winds for western coasts, perhaps for parts of eastern scotland and northeast england, those gusts could touch gale force in places. temperatures between 5—9 celsius — it's starting to drop away again, you'll notice, and that is a sign of things to come on wednesday because the winds will be coming down from the north. and that will reintroduce some relatively cold air — probably not as cold as it has been, but yes, a chillier day to come on wednesday. we'll see areas of showers along the spells of rain pushing southwards, wintery showers even to quite low levels across the northern half of scotland, so some more snow likely to settle here. temperatures by the afternoon between 3—10 celsius, an increasingly cold feel as we go through the day. now we have those northerly winds, they will ease a little as we get into thursday. as this ridge of high pressure builds in, some dry weatherfor a time. and then, this frontal system pushes in from the west, briefly maybe some snow — but, as milder air works in, that will tend to turn back to rain. so temperatures really up and down this week, quite a chilly day to come on thursday, a slightly milder one likely on friday. welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the
