hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are natalie fahy, the editor of the nottingham post, and david bond, who's deputy political editor at the london evening standard. before we get started, let's take a look through all the front pages. no new restrictions for christmas leads the telegraph — but warns that new curbs are expected before the new year. the i says borisjohnson is waiting for the latest data from london hospitals — before deciding on whether to introduce tighter measures after the festive period. "double boost for christmas" leads the mail — as from tomorrow people in england will be able to cut the self—isolation period when they've positive for covid from ten days to seven. the mirror calls it christmas of "cheer and fear" — as businesses voice concerns despite the £1 billion support package. the times leads on borisjohnson�*s advice to the public to �*take a test to see the family�* this christmas(ani and the star mocks up to see the family. and the star mocks up a special christmas list to santa claus, it includes a train set, a pony, and this christmas�* must have gift...a pack of lateral flow tests. natalie, david, let's start with the daily mail. relax, you don't need another booster, one will be sufficient, but they are referring to the two bits of good news that isolation will be cut from ten days to seven and no new restrictions before christmas. clearly there is still great uncertainty in london over the severity of the virus. like a lot of the _ over the severity of the virus. like a lot of the papers _ over the severity of the virus. l «e a lot of the papers tomorrow, over the severity of the virus. l fie a lot of the papers tomorrow, there is a lot of positive headlines about boris johnson's is a lot of positive headlines about borisjohnson�*s decision not to cancel christmas. the male really like it and two days ago, their splash was don't ruin our christmas, boris, so their christmas which has come true early. 0f boris, so their christmas which has come true early. of course, as boris johnson said in his statement today, things are finally balanced, and there is the prospect of tougher measures are restrictions on household mixing and further social distance saying, a crackdown on large events to come immediately after christmas if the data continues to show that the omicron variant is still taking off. figs continues to show that the omicron variant is still taking off.— variant is still taking off. as the male says. _ variant is

for the second - christmas. for the second year running, for the second year i running, for the second year running. it is the new reality, the new norm. the telegraph have a lovely picture of the young chorister that westminster abbey without masks, so clearly they can still sing without their masks. they have glad tidings for christmas is the headline, but they have news from liz truss, one of the cabinet ministers who is saying, love, if we have new restrictions we need a proper thorough assessment of the economic impact of more restrictions for businesses, and i think she is not the only one in the cabinets. borisjohnson not the only one in the cabinets. boris johnson really not the only one in the cabinets. borisjohnson really has very little room for manoeuvre at the moment because he has hemmed in by his backbench areas, 100 conservative mps who voted last week against covid passports and, you know, if he needs to introduce tougher measures in the next few days, there is likely to be an even bigger rebellion, one would imagine. it would get there because labour said that they would support restrictions, but that leaves him with very little room for manoeuvre. rishi sunak is supposedly the one who has led the push back against further restrictions, pointing out as liz truss seems to be doing according to the telegraph that you need to work out what the financial support package would be if you are closing businesses again and having us extended period of work from home. he is in a tight spot. the other dynamic as whether people like rishi sunak, like liz truss i thinking about potential future leadership. thinking about potential future leadership-— thinking about potential future leadership._ cella| thinking about potential future - leadership._

quite well. you old cynic, david, you old cynic. reporting in the times to break away from the telegraph or one second that chris whitty and sir patrick balance are also not commenting on the lack of restrictions. there is one quote here saying "i didn't get the impression that the two of them were convinced we were making a mistake even if they probably thought on balance we probably are." the reason the jury is out to because in the daily telegraph, they have some of the for gary's cases and hospitalisation. wejumped to a peak of the beanie that we week, 93,000 cases uk wide, and then we come back a little bit to the 90,000 new cases each day, but that thing we are looking at us hospitalisations. at the telegraph saysis hospitalisations. at the telegraph says is that the rent 7801 people in hospital with a bit as of december 20. 1% up from hospital with a bit as of december 20.1% up from a week hospital with a bit as of december 20. 1% up from a week earlier. there is a

chancellor has put down among other things among sick pay is offering players for small and medium—sized businesses. at times on page two are quoting the boss of best western hotels who call that a christmas day dad cracker. an interview that he did but the radio four. the support is welcome but it doesn't go far enough to help us with the problems that we are going through at the moment with the cancellations and the impact on the finances of hotels and hospitality. 6000 doesn't cut it given all the cancellations.— 6000 doesn't cut it given all the cancellations. that's right. this is the

cancellations. that's right. this is the time of year where those in i cancellations. that's right. this is i the time of year where those in the hospitality will be looking to make really increasing their revenues to give them profitability throughout the whole year, so it's a real hammer blow, the work from home guidance which has cleared out central london, and that sense of caution people have following the advice from professor chris whitty who urged people to prioritise the social context they wanted to make in the run—up to christmas. it's had a chilling effect. i spoke to someone today who said that revenues have gone down 70% for businesses in central london, hospitality businesses in central london at a third of them have now closed early before the christmas period is even under way. this is really tougher than. although the £1 billion is obviously very eye—catching headline, it looks like a lot of money, but when you break it down, 200,000 businesses getting £6,000 per premise is, that's not a great deal of money. i think most people are seeing it as welcome but essentially a sticking plaster and what they want to see his longer—term support around vat, business

sums it up. i'm really quite taken by the reporting nbi. you are very nottingham, and i guess you like everybody else is looking at london and wondering what's coming. the government is suggesting that they would look and wait from hospital data from london to make a decision what to do next. it's the same as many tory backbenchers, we cannot do restrictions just in case, and a thing borisjohnson would have massive rebellion on his hands if he did do that. he said in our editorial meeting this morning we do need to look and see what's happening there, because we are probably going

yesterday, but of course, there are still a large number of people in london who have not had one vaccination yet, so there is real push in the council to get more people vaccinated, but it's really interesting, this idea that london, london cases were really low not too long ago with the delta variants, and the way that the wave has crashed through the capital is really, really care to scary. if you look at the numbers, there were 152,000 covid cases in london in the past week. that's 200 —— it's clearly driving this huge increase, and i think this is not the government is looking for. there around 250 hospital admissions yesterday or the day before and to get to that 400 mark won't take very long once you see the case is sort of, you know, and a couple of weeks, when the lag phase out,

extraordinary, million a day. the demand is so high i was in hospital today, the demand is so high i was in hospitaltoday, i the demand is so high i was in hospital today, i went to the pharmacy that, couldn't get one, the big signs up, i then went to a supermarket, there were none available on the pharmacy there, so it may be very different in different parts of the country, but they really do need to step up, if they really do need to step up, if they are going to be so reliant on testing and the mantra has always been test test test, then they need to separate the supply issues out, because there question of reliability. as you say, they are a snapshot and there is a big? 0ver whether they give you our confidence, because i say if i'm going into the office or whatever than i think i'm fine because i'm negative, but if you say you could give you a sense of false security. they've onlyjust give you a sense of false security. they've only just started give you a sense of false security. they've onlyjust started giving out free tests in america and they've only got half a billion for 380 million people, so they are going to be really short. they might want to take a

important stories here. this may be the story that we are talking about, the story that we are talking about, the invasion of ukraine come the new year, because this is getting really serious, and some of the things that president putin has said about nato's encroachment towards russia, it looks for all the pretext for war. :, , :, it looks for all the pretext for war. . , ., ., war. raising

nato is sort of stepping deeply into eastern europe into that sort of russian trauma, and he will react with countermeasures if necessary. really key moment for our toxin between the us and russia in the coming days. i think the big question here is sanctions under the us and europe can come up with the source of sanctions that well just make putin think again whether it's targeting stream to pipeline or whether it's looking at shutting russia out of international financial mechanisms, i think they need to clearly have a list of sanctions that's going to have an impact in moscow.—

extraordinary detail that we got on this financial settlement that was given to the that princes formally of dubai, now of the uk, £554 million settlements, daybed, to keep her in a way that she was accustomed to, as well as for security, we should stress that point. but some of the money that they have spent over the years, i mean, £2 million for strawberries. you don't spend that much on

for now, a very good night. good evening, i'm chetan pathak with your sports news. celtic, hibs and motherwell have called upon the spfl to bring forward the league's winter break to avoid fixtures being impacted by capped capacities. under new covid measures in scotland, outdoor sporting events can have a maximum of 500 people attending from boxing day for three weeks. that includes the old firm derby at celtic park on the 2nd of january. the winter break�*s scheduled to start on the 4th of january but clubs say it should be brought forward so that more fans can hopefully attend matches at a later date. wales had already made the decision to ban spectators from sunday which means horseracing's welsh grand national at chepstow will be held without spectators. there are so many people looking forward to that because last year we didn't have spectators, and, yeah, it's really, well, frustrating, deflating, disappointing, tough on the staff, a lot of works gone into preparing it. we've been working on preparing the site for at least a month, six weeks. no such restrictions in england at this stage course. liverpool assistant manager pep ljinders says it's absurd that they have to play two games in four days when the club's dealing with several covid cases and injuries. the premier league chose to fulfil its festive fixtures at a meeting yesterday, but lijnders says the league should listen to the doctors and scientists and not to managers and club officials when making decisions about how to deal with the virus: for me, they are not the managers. the experts are the scientists and the doctors. we should follow their guidelines and they should be asked in the premeire league should ask them, not the managers, they should ask them. it all comes from position number one above everything. if there's one common behaviour in this pandemic over the last years that we always acted too late. always. and that we were from one health crisis into another. the efl cup continues as normal. liverpool play leicester in the league cup tomorrow — arsenal are already through to the semi—finals after they beat sunderland 5—1 — the only non premier league side that was left in the competition. the gunners controlled the game from—kick—off and eddie nketiah put them ahead after quarter of an hour. nicolas pepe added another butjust a few minutes later the league one side pulled one back through nathan broadhead. rsenal re—stablished their 2 goal advantage after the break, putting the game beyond sunderlad with nketiah completing his —— arsenal re—stablished their 2 goal advantage after the break, putting the game beyond sunderlad with nketiah completing his first senior hat—trick as he added 2 more goals. and there was a special moment for 18 year old charlie patino here who made it 5—1 on his senior debut. tottenham head coach antonio conte says uefa's decision to effectively throw them out of the europa conference league is incredible and one that he doesnt understand. spurs were forced to forfeit theirfinal group game against french side rennes after they said they were unable to field a side because of a covid outbreak, and no new date to play could be agreed with uefa. it meant spurs were knocked out — but conte says the matter might not be overjust yet. very disappointed with the decision and i do not understand and i do not want to understand, but i hope that in the future, or in the next step, we look out and something can change because we deserve to play the qualification but not in this way because it is not our fault. a judge has found the formerjockey graham gibbons was responsible for the fall that left fellow jockey freddy tylicki paralysed from the waist down. the high court ruled that gibbons' actions were reckless. the incident at kempton in october 2016 left tylicki paralysed after his horse was brought down by the horse ridden by gibbons. the stewards on the night ruled the incident to be accidental. howeverjudge karen walden—smith ruled that, on the balance of probabilities, gibbons's actions during the race were "undertaken "in reckless disregard for the safety of freddie tylicki". australia have added uncapped fast bowler scott boland to their squad for the third ashes test in melbourne. boland comes in as cover, while fellow pacemen pat cummins and josh hazelwood also return. as for england — they'll need to re—group after going 2—nil down. but england coach chris silverwood is sticking by his selections so far and says he has no regrets and would pick the same again. looking at the experience they were having out there, i'm happy with the skill set of the tests and there'll always be divided opinion. and not everyone is going to agree with you. that is the beauty of sports. and so, yeah, i've got no problem with that. and we have those outing this test i bet it was really good. and so, i've got no problem with that, to be honest. one player england would have hoped to have available for the ashes isjofra archer — the fast bowler was ruled out through injury. and there was a futher blow today, as it emerged he'll miss the whole of the winter schedule after a second operation on a stress fracture in his right elbow. england are due to tour the west indies later in the new year. archer, who last played for england in march, will now target a return in the summer. and formula 1 driver nicholas latifi has revealed he received death threats after crashing out of the abu dhabi grand prix. his wreckage meant a safety car had to be deployed, ultimately taking away the sizable gap lewis hamilton had built up over his rival max verstappen. verstappen went on to win the race and the championship, after catching up with hamilton behind the safety car. latifi says he was shocked by the scale and tone of the hate and abuse he received online. he added that he'd expected some of it and deleted social media apps off his phone immediately after the race. and that's all the sport for now. from me and the team here, goodnight. hello there. we're going to see some changes in our weather through wednesday as cloud thickens across western areas with some rain on the way. however, a chilly start with patches of frost for central and eastern areas of the uk. temperatures in the coldest parts of scotland —9, —10 degrees even. but as we go through the day, after a bright start across the north and the east, the cloud will tend to thicken. rain arrives quickly in northern ireland before spreading northwards and eastwards along with freshening and strengthening southerly winds. those winds will be bringing milder air, so by the end of the day, temperatures about ten degrees in plymouth, but cooler across eastern and north—eastern areas. now, there may well be still some temperatures below freezing in some of the scottish valleys as this band of rain works in. that leads to a risk of ice, weather from freezing rain or from rain falling on those frozen surfaces, but either way, it could be pretty slippy. 0n into thursday, a band of rain pushes northwards accompanied by some very mild air. temperatures thursday reaching up to 13 degrees or so. that's your weather. welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines — new covid guidance comes into force across england, with quarantine for infected people being reduced from ten days to seven. this decision has been informed by the advice from our clinicians at the uk health security agency, who've looked at this very carefully. and they are very comfortable that the protection is provided by making this change so that people can leave isolation after day seven as long as they've taken these two lateral flow tests and the results are negative, that the protection it provides is very similar to ten days
