hello, this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines. the prime minister pledges every adult in england will be offered a coronavirus booster vaccine by the end of this month, in response to what he calls an emergency in tackling the virus. there is a tidal wave of omicron coming, and i'm afraid it is now clear that two doses of vaccine are simply not enough. it comes as the first people in the uk have been hospitalised with omicron. new cases of the variant are up 65% in the last 2a hours. meanwhile, the political pressure mounts on borisjohnson — he's facing a possible rebellion from his mps over covid rules, and fresh questions about christmas gatherings at downing street last year. in other news, emergency teams continue the search for survivors in six us states, after tornadoes leave more than 90 people dead max verstappen is confirmed as the 2021 formula one world champion, after stewards dismiss a protest by lewis hamilton's team, mercedes, following last—lap drama in abu dhabi. but they intend to appeal again. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the guardian's deputy political editor, jessica elgot, and martin bentham, who's home affairs editor at the evening standard. most of the papers have the prime minister on their front page. the telegraph says a million covid boosterjabs a day will be offered in an emergency programme to head off the risk of a new year lockdown. the guardian says borisjohnson is gambling on an unprecedented ramping up of vaccines to avoid imposing further restrictions, with the army will be deployed across the country. the times points out that borisjohnson admitted that some nhs appointments and procedures would be cancelled, as doctors and nurses were re—deployed to the jab campaign. the i reports the target to offer every adult a booster is being brought forward from end of january to 31 december. while the daily mirror carries borisjonson�*s warning of a "tidal wave of omicron" potentially overwhelming the nhs. the metro says more than half a million boosterjabs have been delivered on a single record—breaking day — as the country races to head off a "rapid rise" of the omicron variant. as well as the booster campaign, the daily mail also reflects on lewis hamilton losing out to max verstyappen in the race to become formula one champion. and in other news, the financial times reports ukraine's new defence minister has blamed germany for blocking the supply of weaponry to kyiv through nato — despite us warnings of a possible imminent invasion by russian forces. so let's begin. do you want to kick us off with jessica's paper, the guardian. full front page devoted to this apart from a small box at the bottom about the death toll in kentucky which presented some amazing pictures. no doubt whatever was on the front pages was quickly ditched. yes. doubt whatever was on

unsurprising it's on the front page, it's unsurprising it's across the whole front page, such a striking announcement that the language was very, very stark, a state of emergency title wave, facing an emergency, a title wave of the omicron coming out us. some very bleak language by the prime minister, clearly trying to encourage everybody to getting down and getting the boosterjab if they haven't already been able to have it. ithink haven't already been able to have it. i think what was interesting about the guardian's pieces there is actually no sense in their net front page coverage, sure there is inside about any other controversy surrounding the prime minister and his conduct and md whether this particular wave has been handled correctly at this moment, that is no sense of that at all, i think that partly reflects just the seriousness of the moment that has just happened a couple of hours ago, broadcasted a nation at eight o'clock. it tells the story straight, and it's a very compelling and unfortunately rather worrying —— worrying story on the front page. i worrying -- worrying story on the front page-— worrying -- worrying story on the front nae. ., . ., ., front page. i

downing street quiz night, which sort of makes it sound like about their big event that downing street insists it was. it seemed that the prime minister popped in, did a quick round of the quiz and left everybody to it. it's fair comment, isn't it, for the conservatives to say, look, the photograph on the front of the mirror is no smoking gun, because it is not disproving what the prime minister said specifically about the event on the 18th. it's a different event, but presumably it muddies the water further, event, but presumably it muddies the waterfurther, doesn't event, but presumably it

vote for tories have been a bit thin on the ground from in the circumstances of this by election hasn't helped, because it was a by election they didn't need to have. martin, what do you make of the investigation. it's notjust this investigation, because we also were led to believe over the weekend that lloyd gates was back in touch with downing street, seeking further clarification about the refurbishment of the flat. it’s clarification about the refurbishment of the flat. it's hard to keep track _ refurbishment of the flat. it's hard to keep track of _ refurbishment of the flat. it's hard to keep track of how _ refurbishment of the flat. it's hard to keep track of how many - to keep track of how many investigations they are and what they are all about, isn't it? none of it is good. it reflects a slightly slapdash approach inside or maybe not slightly but very slightly slap hand approach with the classic problem of getting divorced in your own bubble from what's actually happening outside in the world. in one sense, what's happened, given it is a video quiz and so on, albeit with people gathered round him, so it seems to different terminals and numbers, probably isn't quite as bad as a big gathering people altogether, but the prime ministers involved directly in us. all of them are not very helpful. itjust projects the wrong image, really, that everyone else had been forced to endure, and the timing is terrible because people have that prospect in front of them of similar things happening again, yet those who are telling him to do it are the most generous interpretation following the spirits of the rule, if not breaking them all together. all of which may explain the story on the front of the telegraph, martin. pm in talks with hard man to run number

that's about the message, we need to communicate our message better, but if your actions are rubbish, frankly, doesn't matter how good the person communicating for you is, you got to actually do the core thing directly, haven't you? you will be familiar, if you are doing the right thing, try to finesse it in all sorts of ways, what actually really helps you, i don't know. the idea of simply directing borisjohnson, keeping him under control and planing them in the right direction, it seems... the expression — the right direction, it seems... the expression of _ the right direction, it seems... the expression of herding cats comes to mind. jessica, i'm interested in this because when i first encountered borisjohnson, i remember him as a backbencher conservative mp in oxfordshire
