news. good evening. this is your update from the bbc sports centre. liverpool shrugged off missing three players due to positive covid tests to beat newcastle 3—1 this evening and move a point behind premier league leaders manchester city. newcastle took a surprise lead thanks tojonjo shelvey�*s long—distance strike which found its way through, shelvey scoring against his former club. it wasn't long before liverpool hit back, diogojota pulling them level. and four minutes later, who else but mo salah put them 2—1 up. and how about this for an early christmas cracker from trent alexander—arnold! no stopping that one as liverpool cruised to a comfortable victory, keeping the pressure up at the top while newcastle remain second from bottom. it's more points dropped for chelsea this evening. they were held to a 1—1 draw with everton at stamford bridge. mason mount gave them a second—half lead. everton's jarrad branthwaite equalised soon after in a match where they had few chances. chelsea stay third, but lose ground on liverpool in second. so, a frustrating night for chelsea's men and a hugely disappointing one for their women. they've missed out on the champions league knockout stage after going down 4—0 at wolfsburg. it was a miserable evening for emma hayes�* side. svenja huth scored twice inside 23 minutes, and then tabea wassmuth added two more after half—time to knock chelsea out. juventus beat swiss side servette 4—0 to join wolfsburg in the quarterfinals. the spread of the 0micron covid variant has caused havoc with the premier league's fixtures. numerous clubs are reporting increased infections among players. leicester city's game with tottenham this evening and manchester united's match with brighton on saturday were called off earlier today. saturday's games at southampton, watford and west ham have also been postponed, along with everton's match with leicester on sunday. we will have to be sure that the product or if the health of the people. so we can be an example for a lot people because the viruses there and it's spreading very quickly so we have to be sure that if we have to protect people and what that has to be the priority. a quarter of all players in the efl don't intend to get vaccinated, according to data released by the english football league, who've increased protocols at training grounds to limit the spread of the virus. five matches in the championship on saturday are now off. it again raises the issue of vaccine hesitancy within the professional game. that news comes on the day when uefa president aleksander ceferin has urged players across europe to get vaccinated as soon as possible. we should promote the vaccination, and we will. we already started to do it, but we don't have the power to force anyone to be vaccinated. but the promotion goes today and the video by my modest opinion is very good because there are only doctors speaking in the video and they explain from their point of view why vaccination is so important. and the draw has been made for next year's nations league. it's a complicated format, so let's just show you how the home nations came out. england have been placed in a tough group. european champions italy, who beat them on penalties in the euro final this summer, germany and hungary make up the four. wales have been drawn with poland, belgium and the netherlands. both england and wales would need to top their group to qualify for the semifinals. scotland face the republic of ireland, armenia and ukraine. and northern ireland will play greece, kosovo and one of cyprus or estonia. england will be hoping for an improved performance when the second ashes test resumes at 4am our time tomorrow morning. australia will start day two on 221—2. marnus labuschagne is 95 not out, with steve smith, captaining the side in place of pat cummins, unbeaten on 18. england will be rueing several missed chances, and their assistant coach graham thorpe has admitted it'll be tough now for his side. we had to try to make inroads early. if you won the toss in a pink ball game and adelaide, you get control and get longevity in your first innings was a challenge for us going forward but we have to fight hard. 220—2 on day one, australia have won the first day. but we have got to roll our sleeves up and show some fight. everyone knows who has played this game that drops a catch, you know, well, our cricket reporter henry moeran is in adelaide. he's been speaking to former english fast—bowler steven finn, who sastoe root�*s side shouldn't give up yet, although they have work to do. it was a day england rather feared might happen when australia won the toss and piled on the runs. england dropped chances compounding the misery and is now surely meaning this is australia's game to control. steve finn, an ashes winner down here down under ten years ago is alongside me and it was a frustrating day for england, not least because of those dropped opportunities. i think they will look i back on it now as a day of missed opportunities. i thought they controlled the scoring rate well- throughout the day. i thought both sides- actually show discipline, but i think given the state of the scoreboard now- having lost two wickets, _ you would say that it was very much australia's day. if you manage to take it early in the day tomorrow it if you manage to take it early in the day tomorrov_ the day tomorrow it makes the scoreboard _ the day tomorrow it makes the scoreboard look _ the day tomorrow it makes the scoreboard look very _ the day tomorrow it makes the scoreboard look very different | scoreboard look very different on what is a very good wickets. there is still hope and optimism there for england, but it makes tomorrow morning

hope, as very important. a frustrating - opening day here, the hope, as you say, for england, that they can get those early wickets to swing the momentum back there way. and that's all the sport for now. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. withjohn stevens, who's the deputy political editor at the daily mail, and the author and journalist, rachel shabi. lovely to see you both. a quick look through the front pages for our viewers. the daily mail reports that senior tories are lining up up to take aim at professor chris whitty — as borisjohnson comes under pressure to rein in what they describe as "alarmist" government scientists. the 'i" says millions of people are choosing to stay at home with many offices, shops, pubs and restaurants deserted — as the prime minister denies the uk is slipping into lockdown. while the sun has borisjohnson being accused of creating a lockdown by stealth. the daily mirror concerntrates on the met police questioning two people about what's been described as a "raucous" bash thrown by tory aides in lockdown last christmas. the daily telegraph carries comments from the archbishop of canterbury, who says leaders must "put their hands up" and "acknowledge where things have gone wrong", as he spoke of his "disappointment" over tory gatherings during the covid lockdown. the metro highlights the queen's decision to cancel her traditional christmas lunch for dozens of royal family members — because of the surge in 0micron infections. meanwhile the financial times reflects on the interest rate rise from 0.1% to 0.25% — saying that the risks of inflation required pre—emptive action even as the uk is engulfed by the 0micron wave of coronavirus. and the times highlights rishi sunak holding talks with business leaders tomorrow — about a new support package for the hospitality sector — after the chief medical officer urged people to scale down their christmas plans. so let's begin. 0k, we are going to begin our chapter. we are going to start with the front page of the sun, rachel and john. it's basically got a picture of a lock. it's beginning to look a lot like christmas, but as we jump look a lot like christmas, but as we jump to our next paper, what is interesting is the son is accusing borisjohnson of creating lockdown by stealth. meanwhile, the daily mirror, john, have a slightly different take on it.- mirror, john, have a slightly different take on it. yes, this is comments _ different take on it. yes, this is comments from _ different take on it. yes, this is comments from professor - different take on it. yes, this is comments from professor chris whitty, chief medical officer yesterday at downing street press conference yesterday, he stood alongside borisjohnson and when slightly further than government advice. he suggested that people might want to think about cutting down on unnecessary socialising and mixing with other households in the run—up to christmas. there is a concern from tory mps that has spooked the public. the worry is that businesses like pubs and restaurants who have had a really miserable last two years are going to see even more people cancelling their bookings and what is a really important time for them. you've just got to feel for these pubs and restaurants, remember last year, my ipod, spent all this money in a murky outside so that people could mix outdoors and didn't have to go indoors and they got shut down in the run—up to christmas. it seems we are having a repeat of that again this year that and restaurants are allowed to open, but people seem so scared of getting her in a virus that people don't seem to be wanting to go out to spend money.— to go out to spend money. rachel, what are your _ to go out to spend money. rachel, what are your thoughts _ to go out to spend money. rachel, what are your thoughts on - to go out to spend money. rachel, what are your

paper, when you see, stay on the front of the daily mail, that the chief medical officer is being accused of spiking the so—called lockdown by stealth. it makes you wonder who the public are listening

- to turn to the front page of the mirror, john. it's going to take us to another page, another front page in a moment, but ijust want to beat this out to summarise it for our viewers. basically referring to an incident, a party that took place, and events, rather, an event that took place last year, and the met police i sent to close two people about what's been described as a rockets bash thrown by tory aides whilst in lockdown last christmas, as well as the tory headquarters probe, the paper says sparked by one of their own investigations, officers are in touch with the cabinet office about other parties. now, the paper that we are going to turn to shortly is from the independent, but i do need to read this right of reply from number 10 downing street. so, it was on the 15th of may last year that the independent is reporting on, and there was a so—called amendment that took place inside number ten and also in the garden of number ten. welcome at downing street have responded saying that in the summer months, downing street staff regularly use that garden for some meetings on the 15th of may 2020, the permanent strata series of meetings throughout the afternoon including briefly with feedback on health and care secretary and his team in the garden following a press conference. the prime minister went to his residence shortly after seven p:m., a small number of staff required to be in work remained in the downing street garden for part of the afternoon and evening. so that was the reply from number 10 downing street. i wonder, john, that was the reply from number 10 downing street. iwonder, john, if you could take us to the front straight on the independent. this is another allegation of _ straight on the independent. this is another allegation of a _ straight on the independent. this is another allegation of a party - straight on the independent. this is another allegation of a party inside | another allegation of a party inside downing street. i think people have been really annoyed here in these different claims to the last couple of weeks. we've all got stories, we all know different people who made big sacrifices last year, people who didn't get to see elderly relatives shortly before they died, people who didn't get to meet up with different family members, the members of the public are really annoyed to hear that people weren't always following the rules in the heart of our government. at some of those parties we have heard about, christmas parties, do seem to be that they have broke the rules are close to breaking the rules. but this seems slightly more the weaker side of things. we talked about last may and you read into the detail of the story and it looks like there were aides who have been working, paying for one of those coveted press conferences and number ten and afterwards, they had pizza and drinks at their desks. some of them went outside to the garden. i think thatis went outside to the garden. i think that is very different to the reports about a christmas party with a secret santa and people wearing their christmas jumpers. a secret santa and people wearing their christmasjumpers. i a secret santa and people wearing their christmas jumpers. i think this one doesn't sound like the same sort of egregious breach of the rules. .,. sort of egregious breach of the rules.- well, _ sort of egregious breach

interview with a archbishop of canterbury that has been done by the bbc news cast podcast, and they have been asking about all of these different parties that have been taking place. it's quite interesting. last christmas, when we heard that there were a legend parties taking place in number ten, the archbishop was actually working in st thomas's hospitaljust over the other side of the river tends. there he was praying with people when they were l. he was praying with people in their dying moments. so it's quite interesting to hear what he has to say about these allegations. he says he'sjust disappointed to hear what was going on allegedly in number ten at that time. he saying when leaders get things wrong committed got a duty to put their hands up and say that they made mistakes. he was actually quite careful in what he said. he was asked about what did he think about borisjohnson and whether he was an honest person, and he quite wisely avoided that and said he would not be getting into individuals and said i do have a pastoral role when it comes to some of these people. they are important in our nation and i would much rather talk to them about this rather than come up with my own judgment on them in advance to speaking to them. high judgment on them in advance to speaking to them.— judgment on them in advance to speaking to them. high praise though for the

he seems to be caught off guard. he was in california and a four day business trip. he was only due to come back at some point tomorrow, but after that it's been quite a bit of criticism, the labour party is trying to make a on this one. they've been very vocal about this. beside the tweets taking that mickey out of rishi sunak earlier. he has decided to come back soon, he is in the area as we speak now and plans to hold the meeting with business leaders tomorrow to try to work out what exactly can he do to help them. it just seems to what exactly can he do to help them. itjust seems to be

part of the brexit agreement relating to northern ireland. it seems like the two sides are coming closer to an agreement. it seems to be working out what the most important things that we need to sort out and how can we get a grip on them because mike lets park some of issues, such as overseeing roles of the european court of justice which we have seen further apart. let's leave that for now, let's get on with things like medicine, so there was a problem with importing medicines from great britain into northern ireland, so it seems like they've got a big break there on this. it means that a new cancer drug is approved in great britain, then immediately, you will be able to export it to northern ireland, patients there will be able to get it. then they are talking about de cj, they will be

rachel and john, thank you very much. have a very good night. thank you. and thank you for having us on and filing the papers with us. good night. hello. thursday brought an east—west split to the uk weather—wise. well, certainly in terms of where we had the blue sky or where we had the grey sky. across parts of eastern scotland and down the eastern side of england, some were treated to a largely sunny day from dawn until dusk, where it was the reverse across some western areas. a view from wales, cloudy from dawn until dusk. it's the cloud that's going to win out for friday and the weekend. high pressure, lots of settled weather to come, but trapped underneath this high pressure, plenty of cloud. now, where there will have been some clear spells overnight — parts of eastern scotland, northeast england — a frost to start friday, but also some mist and fog around, and particularly through parts of yorkshire, the east midlands and east anglia. some dense patches in places, perhaps affecting travel, and some may lingerfor much of the day in a few spots. you get the idea for the forecast, though, for friday with lots of cloud around. the cloud thick enough to produce a bit of drizzle here and there. breezy with it through the channel islands into parts of south west england, south wales. through here, though, there could be a few sunny spells, as there will be towards parts of scotland and again north east england. temperatures on a par with thursday, although just tending to go a little bit lower, and that's a trend that continues through the weekend. friday night into saturday morning, a lot of cloud around, some mist and fog. again, the clearest skies in scotland, so this is where we're most likely to get a frost as the weekend begins, but there could be a few pockets, too, towards north east england. with that area of high pressure i showed you earlier, a lot of settled weather over the weekend. a lot of cloud, it'll be mainly dry and again temperatures just starting to edge down a few degrees over the weekend. and still quite breezy on saturday through the english channel, channel islands, far south west of england. could be a few brighter breaks here as there may be towards the far west of wales, more particularly into scotland. elsewhere, a good deal of cloud, fewer temperatures in double figures at this stage, it's mid to high single figures. and plenty of cloud around again on sunday, could be drizzly in a few spots, but there's also a chance of seeing one or two brighter breaks here and there. now, for the most part, temperatures in single figures. it will brighten up into next week, but the trend is for things to turn even colder as we go through the rest of the week in the lead—up to christmas. apart from that, what exactly is on our way christmas weather—wise, remains to be seen. welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines. as governments around the globe brace for the omicron effect, britain sets a record for new covid infections for the second day in a row. will it be a difficult night for borisjohnson. votes are counted which could be a heated life of the prime minister. a gang in haiti — releases 12 hostages working for an american missionary group — more than two months after they were kidnapped. and comedianjohn cleese talks to newsday — as he starts a new tour of south east asia. he shares his views on cancel culture — in a forthright interview with me. one of the great problems these days is everyone wants to be
