scotland to move towards staying at home for people who can as we move into the christmas period. and predictions that we could be seeing about 80,000 cases of both delta and omicron as we go into the christmas period. there is definitely a sense that we all desperately hope that the pandemic is behind us, that it's definitely not. i think the big question, the big unknown is we know cases are rising, we know that infection rates are going to be high, looks like omicron is far more infection than delta. but we still don't have a sense of what its impact will be on serious disease, hospitalisation and death. i think thatis hospitalisation and death. i think that is the key thing and that will be the thing that moves and drives the government. i do think they probably need to be taking some precautionary measures. and potentially asking people to work from home again. it should be something that's on the table but i think all of our hearts are sinking. on the front of the telegraph its story plans for christmas work from home order. i guess for a lot of people won't be unduly arduous given that a lot of people do break up for a period over period. presumably it's kind

getting to grips with the spread of the virus is i with the spread of the virus is going to be top of the list for the government. i think there should be the vaccine and the booster programme our first line of defence. i think on that the government has a relatively good story to tell. a decision now to expand the jabs to over �*405 but reduce the time we have to wait for the second jab to three months rather than six. i think that's good news i do think we've now got face mask, that was supposed to come, it's there. i do think the government needs to be thinking about other options just to manage the spread of these things as we learn more about it. in the end of course is an economic cost to asking people to stay home but there's also an economic cost to lots of people who've been unwell evenif lots of people who've been unwell even if it isn't serious illness with the people taking time off work because the disease is spreading. and that's two, four days, however long it is. i think you better balance that is out for the if i was on the cabinet table trying to constrain the spread of the virus so that you could secure the gates would be at the top of my list of

you a few more stories at 1130. sort of weather coming up next and then we go to singapore for newsday. good evening i'm tt and this is your sports news where we start with cricket and the ashes series gets under way at midnight in brisbane and england's all time record wicket takerjames anderson won't be a part of the first test. england say he isn't injured but will be rested in preparation for the second match of the series in adelaide as they try to regain the urn. it's been a decade since england have won an ashes series on aussie soil — their preparations have been disrupted by covid rules and the weather, but as patrick gearey reports they say they're up for the challenge. in the english imagination, australia means danger. uncomfortable, unfamiliar, uncompromising. english cricketers are used to feeling isolated down under but rarely so literally. they've had to quarantine and abide by strict and changeable australian covid rules. it's very different to any series we've ever encountered before. but it's the same for both teams. you know, it's an environment which... and the build—up that's been very unique in many ways, and it will come down to how we manage, how we have managed it. not only do we not know how the series will finish, we don't know where either. the final test has been moved from perth due to western australia's covid rules. no new home for it has been announced. indeed, finding somewhere to play cricket has been a problem for england. they seem to have taken the weather with them. the likes of ben stokes have had to make the most of rare breaks in the cloud just to warm up. all this in a country where england have won just one test series in eight. in many respects, we've got nothing to lose coming here. we've got a great chance in the circumstances that we find ourselves in, to come and do something very special, and, you know, we should take great confidence from that going into it. so, what about the aussies? well, it all started in tears. it's an incredibly difficult decision but the right one for me. captain tim paine resigned over explicit texts he had sent in 2017. so pat cummins was given the biggest job in australian sport, less than two weeks before the series starts. it's the first time i've put on the blazer, actually, fits ok. yeah, i think when we walk out here day one, and see a packed house and see all the tv cameras and the start of the summer, it feels like it's here, i think that's when it will hit me. where there are ashes, there must be fire. normally, it comes naturally. this is cricket at its fiercest. one thing about this strange series we can be sure of. patrick gearey, bbc news. this is how you can follow the ashes across the bbc, ball—by—ball commentary on test match special. on the bbc sport website there will be in play—highlights clips alongside live text commentary and there's also a highlights show on the bbc iplayer from 5pm on every day of each test. liverpool became the first english side to win six out of six in he group stage of the champions league beating ac milan 2—1 in italy. they were already guaranteed going through to the knockout stage as group winners, milan were bidding to finish second to reach the the next round and went head through fikayo tomori with almost half an hour gone. but their lead only lasted a few minutes as mo salah equalised for liverpool with his twentieth goal of the season. divock origi scored a late winner for the reds at wolves on saturday, and made it 2—1 to end milan's hopes. the draw for the knockout stage takes place next monday. manchester city, who'd already qualified top of group a were beaten 2—1 in germany by rb leipzig, riyadh mahrez scored late to give his side hope. but just when city thought they may have a chance of snatching a draw kyle walker was handed a straight red card for this challenge meaning he'll miss the first leg of their last 16 clash. tottenham are dealing with a coronavirus outbreak at the club but uefa say that their match at home to rennes in the europa conference league this thursday will go ahead despite a number of players and coaching staff having been affected. spurs had a full squad available for their win over norwich on sunday but have since returned a number of positive tests. competition rules stipulate that they have to fulfil the fixture unless they have fewer than 13 players or no registered goalkeeper available. england's simon middleton has become the first women's team coach to win world rugby�*s coach of the year award. he beat the all blacks' ian foster and australia's dave rennie to the honour. under his leadership, the red roses have gone 18 games unbeaten, and this year they completed a clean—sweep in the autumn nations series, as well as lifting the 6 nations title for the third time in a row. records are there to be beaten and we went to beat them. we want to go down in history, we want to be remembered as a team that was special and really delivered on their potential. so, ithink, you know, we want to keep winning, absolutely, massively important, we want to keep winning, but then we want to win the world cup. there is no getting away from that. it's the holy grail for us. as it is for new zealand, as it is forfans, so there is a lot of things to chew there. mark selby remains on course for a third successive scottish open title after a 4—1win over oliver lines. the world champion and number one seed finished with a century break against his english compatriot and moves through to the last 32 where he'll play china's xiao guodong. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. storm barra is continuing to weaken as we head into wednesday. with more cloud and still some wet weather around, it's going to be a milder start to the day. it's still going to be a windy day for many parts of the country, just not as windy as tuesday. much either wins as well. will cloud over because some of these western areas with some rain coming into the northern island wales and southwest will do ahead of that as temperatures are still stuck at six or seven. �*welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines.
