hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me is the daily mirror columnist, susie boniface alongside ali miraj, columnist at the article. tomorrow's front pages starting with... let's take a look at some of tomorrow's front pages already in, starting with the mirror. it reports cabinet secretary, simon case — the man tasked with investigating whitehall christmas parties — steps down, after allegations that his own office held a virtual festive bash. the telegraph also leads with this, saying the prime minister's bid to move on from the tories�* by—election defeat has been derailed by the fresh leaks. the times says the inquiry into those parties is now in disarray as simon case steps back from the investigation. former ethics chief at the cabinet office, sue gray will take over. the i reports that omicron cases are getting out of control — with variant cases doubling every one—and—a—half days in london, the north east, west midlands and yorkshire. the ft reports that scientists believe the omicron variant is no less severe, as cases in the uk soar past 93,000 to reach a record high for the third consecutive day. but the mail splashes on the backlash from business leaders calling for the 10—day isolation rule to be scrapped, although the paper does also report that it is not yet known whether the omicron is actually any milder the previous variants. and the express says the pm is �*down but not out�* as it reports tories have been told to support their leader. so, let's begin. do you want to take us through this first one? the obvious one is the mirror. they were all attitude. in terms of the substance of the story, the picture story on the front of the picture story on the front of the story. the times, like a lot of the papers did not come to the story that quickly and it was a front—page lead and now has a pretty scathing detailed expose and almost farcical situation with the man appointed to look at independent inquiries turns out himself to be compromised by exactly what was happening in his office of the same time as the social gatherings taking place elsewhere on downing street. indeed. and

simon was or is in there is no reason for him to become a prominent public figure in many people have been saying that he is a formidable operator, he will make things work, he will be good news for borisjohnson and now he seems to been caught up by the general sense of slight helplessness that downing street seems to have gotten itself trapped in recent days. gotten itself trapped in recent da

don't know who was saying that about simon originally. to answer the question, a good, someone would been regarded as a very good judge of character but have been the former times journalists became a very distinguished whitehall watcher who civil service with know inside out and he said he is a student many years ago and he was marked out as being a rising talent, a man who could get a grip. in being a rising talent, a man who could get a grip-— being a rising talent, a man who could get a grip. in yet, there was some having _ could get a grip. in yet, there was some having christmas _ could get a grip. in yet, there was some having christmas parties - some having christmas parties outside of his personal office at a time and social mixing was banned in london and these are the people tasked with enforcing those rules. so, i don't know anything about him but he got that wrong as well. i'm not surprised that if chris would've taken to the airwaves and started informing us that the number of people over what happened to be raising exponentially. and chris would come out and tells of the government scandals are doubling at a rate of every day. it is not like this is normal behaviourfor any government and it is also, it's how you deal with these things. any government or any party is going to haveissues government or any party is going to have issues or something goes wrong and inquiry of summons made a mistake. that isjust and inquiry of summons made a mistake. that is just normal behaviour. normal human behaviour but we have this kind of problem, thing to do is to is to give to someone is going to fix it for you and this make it look like it's fixed in the borisjohnson has done by handing an investigation over to someone who had his own parties and failing to do any diligent checks about that orfailing failing to do any diligent checks about that or failing to listen if he objected and said, i should not be doing this, whatever it is that force this through to the point where now it seems that there are leaks to multiple news outlets from simon's on personal office where he really should be doing these inquiries because it's up to his neck, as we all are. it's just not tenable. break into the point where the front page news story, some in wasn't having a party last year. very clearly put. in the telegraph, party details yet overshadowed but

confidence to the prime minister from it's a letter of no confidence to the prime ministerfrom pepper pig. he gets to the point to where peppa pig loses confidence in the prime minister, it really is game over. let's move on to covid—19. is it more dangerous are less dangerous with this new variation than delta. the daily mail saying that because it spread so much quicker therefore, it is suggesting that it may be fast and if alert, he could see an exponential rise beyond that. maybe we do not need 10—day isolation, perhaps we could get away with seven—day isolations. would you make of

order obese population like we did. they don't have as well—funded of public health office. if you are ill, you're less likely to go until some someone about body. in other parts of africa for most deaths most days aren't registered in a way that we would expect them to be. so the data there is very different and it's less reliable and they also had huge waves of coronavirus coming through, which the amount of immunity in the population is very different to ours. but, it's all we've got and we've got to have a look at in some regard and at this stage, it rises very fast and goes fast with has very different symptoms and we also note, and what no one talks about in these things is regardless of whether or not you think you have a mild infection or serious infection, long covid—19 is affecting 22 million people in this country at the moment and it affects people when this vaccine escapes and if there caught up before they were eligible and there's been a long term effect for children and one in five children have sickness for more than five weeks and the more than 50 people have covid—19 of long covid—19 for more than 12 weeks is speaking to someone who's headed for nearly a year and is not registered to say having been an active war correspondent before that. it is not something that this disease just attacks the sick and the old and the dying and if we could just shut for a people endorse and the rest of us could go about our lives, it affects healthy people, it affects and destroys your immune system in some cases. we don't quite know why it triggered such huge overdrafts in the immune system and the buddy system can collapse. children are having strokes because they're infected with coronavirus and it is something that is more serious than just then, it is more mild than the last one, it is fine. it might be a cold for you but it might be really important for the person next door. in order to be particularly frail for to be life altering for them. you need to start rolling out this and talk about vaccines for everyone over the age of five because schools would be a big place for this infection gets passed around in the new year when they get back to school and we need to have more consideration for the people for not frail but are going to be made frail and will not feature in death statistics but they will have their lives ruined by

with mental health and you still have people grieving and losing relatives. you still have people massively infected all of the place which means that transport links collapse and fire services don't have people to fix fires and you don't have cancer treatment if the nhs staff are all sick or isolated having to compete with covid—19. it a terrible effect, damaging, psychologically and socially

9000 day going into hospitals. that is the whole range of what is being suggested in the peak of hospitalisations earlier this year in january was 4583. what we're talking about the range of omicron hospitalisations whether people think it is milder or not, perhaps the same or even more than we had a peak in terms of hospitalisations. and whether it is milder or not, if you have many, many more people infected by something, you're going to get many more people in the hospital beds. we have a finite numbers and that requires a certain amount of staff to maintain and operate and care for people within them. and if they are all full, than some of those bits of that to be removed for covid—19 safety where there is not enough staff to operate those beds are at their isolating, the medicine we have a problem when you have a car accident and somebody, there's no one to care for her and operate the scanner to check her and operate the scanner to check her bones and no bed to put her in, thatis her bones and no bed to put her in, that is the situation we might face if things go terribly wrong. and thatis if things go terribly wrong. and that is what we need to avoid. that's it for the papers this hour. the papers will be back again tomorrow evening. dojoin us then if you can but for now, goodnight. good evening. i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes, here with your latest sports news. and we're starting with covid and how it's hitting fixture lists up and down the country. in the premier league, 5 matches are off this weekend, and the efl has badly hit as well. but while some clubs have postponed their games due to a lack of players, others are ploughing on regardless, trying to manage the busy schedule. so is it fair? joe lynskey�*s been taking a look at the situation. on thursday night, the premier league released a statement. four more games called off, four more clubs with too much covid—19. no game this weekend and southampton, but some shows have gone on. there was a full house for trent alexander arnold's greatest hit. his goal help liverpool beat newcastle 3—1. newcastle is struggling and next for them is manchester city. but should the team faced the drop play through while others have a rest. not stopped below the competition becomes slightly unfair and no one wants to see that. people want to see a fair league and they don't want to see disparity in games. he has a point, but everyone else who may be says we should still continue also has a point. there is not one answer to all of these questions that are asked in society and to professional football right now. we need much more clarity as to why i those games are not getting played i and why not to play a game . so we are playing in the same week because of the end, i the most important thing is that we are able to maintain within the context, - the fairness of the competition. as coaches spoke about it. one was absent. pep guardiola was called off, he had an inconclusive test. in each club is the threat of infection and isolation, unvaccinated players faced ten days quarantine on close contact. so, on monday, top—flight clubs tried to meet to find a way forward. we hope there will be a lot more clarity and also an opportunity for the captains to get other and speak on what to do. i'm scared to look at my phone because every time the phone rings there is a situation, but that is the way it is. we have to be ready for it. the women played the champions league on thursday, they needed a draw to go through but lost 4—0. they blamed mental strain, no player once the virus this close to christmas. i'm not making excuses- to the players but i can tell you that the last few days have been all over the place - with the worry that we i have to play this game. there are fewer matches but many questions. are enough players vaccinated? is the competition still fair? for now, some football carries on to the for now, some football carries on through the latest wave of uncertainty. well since that report, chelsea's wsl match against west ham was postponed due to a covid outbreak — the second game to go this weekend. and the tennis exhibition event — �*battle of the brits' has also been put back til next year. the new travel restrictions in france have ravaged the european rugby union fixture list with seven games due to be played between french and british teams this weekend — postponed. france are restricting people coming in from the uk amid concerns over the omicron variant and two games were also affected by player outbreaks. now only 8 matches from the champions cup and the second tier challenge cup will go ahead. tournament organisers hope the games can be played at a later date. ulster�*s champions cup game at home to northampton did go ahead though and it went to ulster who scored 4 tries in their 27 — 22 victory in belfast. england's cricketers face a huge battle to avoid going 2—nil down in the ashes series after another dominant performance by australia on day 2 of the second test. the aussies declared on 473 for 9 in adelaide — marnus labuchangne top scoring on 103. in reply, a weary england lost two early wickets — and were only saved by a lightning storm which forced them to close early on 17—2. but all rounder ben stokes is looking forward to batting in the daylight. it's been a tough two days, we've spent a lot of time out on the field and put some ovals into our legs, but it's been nice to get at the field at the end and watch the guys go out and bat and we came off pretty strange circumstances i'm not sure i've been involved in the game postponed due to the lightning. but tomorrow, on the natural light, i think as you guys probably agree, it's an easier time to be a batter around the middle. formula
