hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sienna rodgers, editor of labourlist and tom newton dunn, chief political commentator at times radio. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the mirror for a second day leads with borisjohnson and reports of christmas parties in downing street during last year's lockdown. the paper says attendees enjoyed, food, drink and games until past midnight despite curbs. the prime minster has insisted no covid rules were broken. the times reports the government aims to offer a fourth covid shot to fight against new variants as it makes a two—yearjab deal with suppliers. the daily telegraph has more details on that story — two more jabs per person, under the agreement, which will provide 114 million more doses. the daily mail tells minister�*s to �*stop being christmas killjoys�*, after one advised against kissing underneath the mistletoe. the daily express has a more upbeat tone it�*s not all doom and gloom�*, as one scientist reports that cases of the omicron variant are mostly �*mild�*. of the omicron variant are mostly and moving away from covid, the ft says the us are delaying plans to lift trump—era tariffs on uk steel over the row of the northern ireland protocol. so let�*s begin... we will look first of all at the mirror which for a second day in a row focuses on last year�*s downing street. blues, nipples and party games until early hours. tom newton—john, what were the party games? newton-john, what were the party names? . , newton-john, what were the

of them tonight this is very much keir starmer it took some relish to putting it minister in the does batch box with a not a huge amount of information in this new front page apart from the fact that the might have been nipples at this down a street party and the prime minister tonight said many rules were breaking. which was his response to keir starmer didn�*t tonight there was a party for the one there was a lead into november which the prime minister was at. the second one on the 18th of december, downing street staff come some a0 or 50 at least in the dozens and again some sort of shindig. but downing street denied the version that the mirror had this morning anyway. and the prime minister saying no rules were breaking. i think it�*s a bit of a he said she said i suppose it�*s hard to get anybody on the record to confirm this or not. it was a long time ago. delivers a toxic nest to theirs. if it�*s one rule for one and theirs. if it�*s one rule for one and the elite and privilege classes and another rule for the other, the rest of us who do stay home and play by the rules, that�*s a pretty bad stating. it�*s not up there with didn�*t cut through but trying to get any

i'll pick up with interesting point. i�*ll pick up with sienna. as tom was saying, dominic cummins cut through, the beginning of the pandemic, the news came through several weeks later. this is no news coming through a year later. does that delay in time slightly damp and the impact of the story given the fact that the mirror is running it on its front page with the other papers are not? i

you�*re close. let�*s look at the daily mail. stopping christmas kill joy's daily mail. stopping christmas kill joy�*s ministers, i have looked at the front page. who is saying the stop? is that the mail saying stop, is that the prime minister?- is that the prime minister? ddiidd males under _ is that the prime minister? ddiidd males under new— is that the prime minister? ddiidd males under new editorship - is that the prime minister? ddiidd males under new editorship and l is that the prime minister? dc cc males under new editorship and the new editor said he didn�*t like restrictions when he exited that newspaper. i think we can bet your bottom dollar it may be the daily mail saying inside of their opinion column as well it would appear that it�*s a hospitality sector the mail are attributing this stop verb two stop people going out and stop people having a good time and spending money this is basically down to savid javid this morning. not usually bold into it said but he has said to take a lateral flow test before they go out to parties for the standard government advice and has been for a while if you�*re into a crowded environment. quick move for the daily mail actually getting to the comments not as a daily mail reports no kissing under the mistletoe, no snogging under the mistletoe, no snogging under the mistletoe said coffee. she likes a proper saga likes to talk about it. they cleaned it up little bit. this is ministers slightly freelancing over to risa coffey and her snogging was a little bit of license because that�*s not the guidance. i figure you get this that we have ministers on every round over the next month or two as we see how the omicron variant develops coming up with things trying to answer almost impossible questions from irritants like us when we try to pin them down. and the best news, it�*s going to be kind of messy. irate down. and the best news, it's going to be kind of messy.— to be kind of messy. we are still with ou to be kind

daily express. the paper is quoting one virologist was that we should say that a number of virologists say we simply have to wait for more information, for more tests which are being carried out in a

at the times and get tom newton on ground. fourth variantjob to fight. springs millions of doses. does that future proof the uk and how should the uk look at its global responsibilities to make sure a developed country has a role in passing onjobs developed country has a role in passing on jobs to developed country has a role in passing onjobs to non— developed countries? it passing on 'obs to non-

countries? it goes a long way to future proofing i think if - countries? it goes a long way to future proofing i think if you - countries? it goes a long way to l future proofing i think if you have a boosterjob that massively increases your immune response, even if it is to the omicron variant which in some way does defeat the vaccine to a certain extent we�*ve got something like 100,000,000 already in stock, vaccinations. an extra hundred and a0,000,000 that takes us up to over 200,000,000 vaccination doses by 2023. the feeling is where probably going to need a booster once a year, a lot of medics said that one of the grandfathers of the british vaccine, if you like, the astrazeneca vaccine told me that the other day. i think this is the nature of the beast was up this is the nature of the beast was up it could be three vaccines every year. we are well stocked. the question is should we be buying up vast quantities of vaccine to keep us happy and reasonably healthy into the middle distance or should we be giving these two other nations, the poor nations who haven�*t vaccinated as near many people as us? or should we notjust be buying them should we withdraw our place in the queue because we�*ve got all these contracts that allow us preferential access and get out of the way, allow poor countries was a bit of the money, the district to buy them. but the likes of us get first dibs. if we had vaccinated more of the world, we had vaccinated more of the world, we had vaccinated a lot more south africa there is very good chance the omicron variant wouldn�*t have developed in the first place. what do you do, short—term politics or long—term politics? do you do, short-term politics or long-term politics?— long-term politics? very difficult answer. long-term

magazine with a quote direct quotes from emmanuel macron and conversation was a waxing lyrical about borisjohnson. he says britain is such a great country, such a shame it�*s turned into a circus run by a clown for the background being borisjohnson. it�*s very rarely get direct quotes from world leaders being so incredibly discouraging about others. i think it sums up pretty accurately whether british, french relations has got to do meadow macon, johnson relationship has gotten over quite a few things the fishing, margaret channel crisis conundrum. it�*s hard to think you could get quite worse. the former ambassador said this morning that relations haven�*t been this bad between britain and france since the battle of waterloo. some 206 years ago. that really is fairly terminal. it's ago. that really is fairly terminal. it�*s also decent knock around stuff. the french and federal election come round in may, emmanuel macron is up for reelection. just as it works here, nothing

already an active work from home order if you can. it may come in the uk, was soon to find out. but they say please come back to work. they are now setting the standard of an absolute minimum back two days in office arguably with a lot more. is a bit of a trend not with quite a few employees with up to take a few employers and flirted with the concept of hybrid working from home from the office where it pleases you. there seems to be a mood for really, we want to back and we can co—operate more, better ideas together, get a better idea what you are up to. that seems to be where employers are

for now, goodnight. good evening i�*m tulsen tollett and this is your sports news where we start with the women�*s tennis association announcing the immediate suspension of all tournaments in china amid concern for chinese tennis player peng shuai. peng disappeared from public view after accusing a top chinese official of sexual assault then retracted her claims. the wta has repeatedly called for a full investigation into peng�*s claims. wta chief steve simon said he had "serious doubts" that peng was "free, safe and not subject to intimidation", and that it was important for his organisation to stand up and be counted. this is something that we simply can�*t walk away from. if we walk away from what we�*ve requested and see reflected as the domestic abuse issues or domestic issues, what we are telling the world then is that not addressing sexual assault but the respect and seriousness it requires because it�*s difficult is ok. and it�*s not. it�*s just something that we can�*t let happen and we can�*t walk away from that. two goals from mo salah helped liverpool beat everton a—1 to pile the pressure on rafa benitez in his first merseyside derby against his former club. liverpool captainjordan henderson�*s first goal in 18 derbies got the match off to the perfect start for the visitors. mo salah added to that soon after, sending hoards of home fans to the exits with less than 20 minutes gone. leaving early they missed demari grey give everton a little hope. but that was extinguished in the second half thanks to a second from salah and diogojota rounding the rout off. manchester city remain a point behind chelsea after a 2—1 win over aston villa. ruben dias scored the first from distance before a slick city counter was finished off by bernardo silva to give them a two—goal lead. ollie watkins pulled one backjust after the break for villa but pep guardiola�*s side hung on to take the three points and condemn steven gerard to a first defeat with villa. despite a long delay for a medical emergency in the crowd at vicarage road chelsea beat watford 2—1 — mason mount opening the scoring for the blues. emmanuelle dennis gave the home fans hope though with a goaljust a couple of minutes before the half—time break but hakem ziyech got the winner to keep the londoners a point ahead of manchester city. west ham�*s hopes of staying in the top four suffered a setback despite tomas soucek putting them ahead against brighton after just five minutes. neal maupay�*s spectacular strike in the 89th minute earned brighton a point at london stadium, moving them up to seventh. leicester city had to come from behind twice against southampton. james maddison�*s goal saw the match end two all at st mary�*s but it was enough to move the foxes up to eighth, although they�*ve played more games than three teams below them. there were four games in the scottish premiership too, rangers beating hibernian 1—0 in the pick of the games. they left it late though, ryan porteous giving away a penalty with five minutes remaining, leaving kemar roofe to step up and coolly roll the ball into the back of the net. rangers go seven points clear of celtic in second. elsewhere aberdeen were 2—0 winners over livingston, dundee beat stjohnstone by a goal to nil while st. mirren and ross county played out a goalless draw. johanna konta has said she�*s very grateful for her career in tennis after announcing her retirement from the sport. the 30 year old won four titles on the wta tour and holds the record for the longest time as women�*s british number one. konta reached the semi—finals at wimbledon in 2017, eventually losing to simona halep. she moved to the position of world number four that year — the highest ranking by a british woman since virginia wade in 1978. however, konta has struggled with her fitness. an abdominal injury, then contracting covid, meant she missed both wimbledon and the olympics this year. she said whatever she does next, it will involve tennis. i definitely see myself staying in this sport to a certain extent. i don�*t know to what capacity, but i love the sport and the sport has given so much to me, so i would definitely love to share that with other people. scottish swimmer hannah miley has also announced her retirement. miley won world, european and commonwealth titles, only olympic medals eluding her, she represented great britain at three olympic games. and glasgow has been chosen to host the world athletics indoor championships in 202a, they�*ll be staged at the emirates arena, where the european indoors were held two years ago. former world heavyweight champion anthonyjoshua says he�*s still angry about losing his belts to oleksandr usyk — and that his anger is fuelling him for the rematch. that�*s expected to take place in early 2022. i�*m angry at myself. and the only way i can be in a better places to get myself right by going out there. it can be like this for a few months, unfortunately but there�*s enough tension brewing. hopefully about what happened in i�*m not going to be better than what happened that night. i know for a fact so i feel i truly have more to give, i think people truly know them. people do recognise me as champion even though i don�*t have a belt around my waist they know i have capability to be champion again. ronnie o�*sullivan is through to the quarter finals of the uk snooker championship in york. the seven—time champion saw off thailand�*s noppon saeng—kham, winning four straight frames to take the match 6—3, finishing with a century break and he�*ll face kyren wilson for a place in the last four. for that and everything else you can head to the bbc website. and that�*s all the sport for now. hello. the cold air is back. thursday gets off to a chilly start with a wide spread frost and temperatures won�*t crawl up too far for the day despite a lot of sunshine on offer. the cold air has come chasing down through these isobars all the way from close to the arctic circle, sweeping its way right across the uk. overnight starting to plunge down into the continent through thursday. we are all in the arctic air and we will all feel it thanks to a cold northerly breeze. where we�*ve seen some showers overnight there will be a risk of ice to start us off on thursday. as i said, a widespread frost. further showers across eastern scotland, eastern counties of england through the day, a few as well across the west coast of wales particularly i think through pembrookshire pushing down through devon and cornwall, eastern scotland. perhaps clearing come the afternoon. but it�*s cold in the sunshine. highs ofjust three or a. sunshine a the milkier for northern art went through the afternoon. that is because this weather system will be starting to work its way in. as it runs into the cold air there could be some snow for a time but it will tend to turn back to rain as the air coming in behind this band of rain is relatively mild. actually, temperatures at the end of friday nights higher than those we will see through thursday daytime. and on into friday daytime and we will have some rain around for southern and eastern england to start the day, we will get some brightness for scotland and northern ireland, though be a few showers on and off here. just some question to the south of the uk weather this rain could push in through friday afternoon. we will certainly keep a lot of cloud generally across england and wales but temperatures perhaps 11, 12 . it�*s certainly milder than thursday foot up to the north five, six, seven. for the weekend the chill returns. perhaps not quite as cold as thursday but once again will pick up a northwesterly breeze. for saturday i think that�*s going to bring in some quite plentiful showers across northern island heading into north wales down into the midlands. temperatures, six or 7 but it will feel cooler in the breeze. sunday is a very similar story but i think we can erase some of the showers from our picture. still some for western exposure so wales, and a northerly breeze. so really adding to the chillier feel. welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i�*m karishma vaswani. the headlines... suspending all tournaments in china — the women�*s tennis association says it has "serious doubts" that a chinese tennis
