hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are torcuil crighton, westminster editor of the daily record, and lucy fisher, deputy political editor at the telegraph. tomorrow's front pages now, starting with... the fallout from ghislaine maxwell's guilty verdict is the lead for the i, with comments from a lawyer representing her victims saying prince andrew should be "quaking in his boots" at the outcome. the duke of york has always strenuously denied the allegations against him. the telegraph also picks up on that story. the paper carries an image of maxwell alongside prince andrew on ladies day at royal ascot in 2000. the mirror has spoken to a key witness at ghislaine maxwell's trial who opens up about life as her butler and chauffeur. "a devastating impact for patient care" — the warning carried by the guardian if nhs staff are not prioritised for covid lateral flow tests as supply issues persist. the paper also captures a highly unseasonal image of families on the beach in northumberland as the uk prepares for what could be its warmest new year's eve on record. the times has spoken to nhs bosses who say they don't yet believe the threshold for new covid restrictions has been crossed despite a surge in hospital admissions. the financial times says borisjohnson is set to be cleared over breaking the ministerial code following an internal inquiry into a loan acquired to redecorate his downing street flat. so, let's begin. lovely to see you again. let's start with you, lucy, and the front page of the daily mail with the continuing fallout from the ghislaine maxwell trial and a pretty striking headline there. andrew should be quaking in his boots. what did they say?— did they say? that's what the la ers did they say? that's what the lawyers for — did they say? that's what the lawyers for jeffrey _ did they say? that's what the lawyers forjeffrey epstein's l lawyers forjeffrey epstein's victims have said today in the wake of the extraordinary verdict against ghislaine maxwell earlier this week. it's unsurprising that the front pages focus on this very british angle to what has been a more us focused story if the trial has gone on for days and days days. i think there is pressure growing on prince andrew. he has sought to have the trial, the civil case brought by virginia giuffre, his accuser, thrown out of core in america, arguing she does not have the standing to bring that. she of course has accused him of sexual assault when she was 17 and he is always strenuously denied that. interesting that some of the papers are saying today that royal commentators are arguing that the only way for him to really rehabilitate his reputation is to go to a properjury trial now on those allegations but i do think that as we approach the queen's platinum jubilee in february, 70 years of service, this is a sort of ongoing store that threatens to overshadow the queen poz are a

potentially involved here, we have a diary. we have the sentencing up have a diary. we have the sentencing up next and then a potential appeal to him is this story is going to be in the headlines for a long time to come. . �* , ., ~ ., come. that's right and i think a particular— come. that's right and i think a particular if— come. that's right and i think a particular if ghislaine _ come. that's

authorities, attended to thwart them up to this point, that could be fascinating to see other people brought into this story more publicly. there are estimates that “p publicly. there are estimates that up to 100 victims were involved in this sort of trafficking ring. it could be the case that there spotlight turns beyond just andrew to other members of the elite social circle moving forward, but as you say the moment her lawyers have made clear that work has already started on the appeal and this is not going to go away tomorrow or anytime soon. because he did mention it there, it is always important to highlight this is fundamentally about the survivors of course and we have been hearing from some in the immediate aftermath of the trial and others today about how important moments are like this, these decisions and these verdicts and how important they are for them and potentially they are for them and potentially the wider impact on other cases and notjust in the uk in the us but right around the world. we should just mark that as well. let's leave that for the moment and let's move now to the front page of the daily telegraph. the top story there as you can see is the same one, duke told he will face justice after maxwell verdict and that photo, but actuallyjust maxwell verdict and that photo, but actually just want to talk about your story, lucy, just in the middle there and we are zooming in on the headline calls for critical workers to get priority for covid—19 tests as a shortage he had to return to work. just look us through what this is. ., ., work.

moment there are more than 11,400 people in hospitals across england with coronavirus. and yet the times has spoken to chris hopkins, chief executive of nhs providers which are present hospital trusts, who flagged some reasons for reassurance amongst health chiefs and he makes a point that they are not seeing huge numbers of older people falling seriously ill with coronavirus was up and i think as well if you interrogate some of the hospital data, interesting that while the hospital admissions are coming up and indeed there have been warnings we can exodus it and continue to go up in the next ten days, in fact the numbers in intensive care who are severely ill actually has remained rather stable atjust actually has remained rather stable at just over actually has remained rather stable atjust over 700. so interesting in the times in a bit take different from other papers like the guardian others have more dire warnings, but the hospitalisation figures but interesting it shows

for. lucy, what is latest here? latest here is that borisjohnson is set to be cleared again of having broken the ministerial code, although likely it will be criticised, the independent ethics adviser. if we just rewind slightly, if you may recall that back in may, lord guide first investigated this and at that time boris johnson and at that time borisjohnson claimed he had known and at that time boris johnson claimed he had known nothing at and at that time borisjohnson claimed he had known nothing at all of the payment made by lord brownlow, a tory donor, to finance a renovation of the downing street flat. at that time, lord gotti took that explanation and cleared him of any wrongdoing although he did say he had acted unwisely. what's happened since it is in recent weeks the electoral commission has find the electoral commission has find the conservative party for misreporting a number of donations and the commission also revealed what sent messages between boris johnson and lord brownlow from november of last year discussing this donation that borisjohnson planted a nothing about. so very interesting reports and the ft today suggesting that lord guide reopened his inquiry, having exchange letters abortion also about the matter, seems to offend the prime minister's explanation as to why he did not remotely disclose these what sent messages and he has found those convincing and will he find him guilty of brick in the ministerial rules? ~ ., ., , ., guilty of brick in the ministerial rules? ~ ., ., .,~ ., ., rules? what do you make of that? would've that _

are back into the top six after cruising past burnley in tonight's only premier league match. all the goals in the match came in the first half as united remain unbeaten under ralf rangnick. andy swiss reports. on the eve of sir alex ferguson's 80th birthday, could the current manchester united give him the perfect present? well, just seven minutes in against burnley and scott mctominay obliged. he certainly enjoyed it, and he wasn't alone. and burnley�*s night soon got even worse. first, jadon sancho's deflected effort doubled united's lead, and when mctominay�*s shot rebounded to cristiano ronaldo, it was 3—0 and it was surely game over. not quite, as aaron lennon pulled one back for burnley at the end of a breathless first half. after the break, though, it was united that threatened once more. burnley keeper wayne hennessey denying first mctominay and then edinson cavani. his brilliance matched only by his bravery. but united held on for a 3—1victory which moves them

them has tested positive, but they are being tested daily. we shouldn't forget that the coach was in contact with some of them yesterday during that practice. was in contact with some of them so, it will be an anxious wait for the next few days to see if any of the england players actually test positive for themselves. they fly to sydney on a charter plane tomorrow. as they're trying to keep them separate from everybody else, they and the australians are flying together. but there's no doubt it will be a very anxious weekend ahead for the england players. and india have taken a 1—0 lead in

build over whether the australian open champion novak djokovic will play at the first major of the year in melbourne. fellow serb dusan lajovic has said the world number one is unsure if he'll make the tournament, due to start in just over two weeks. djokovic has already withdrawn from the serbian team taking part at the atp cup in sydney this weekend. the 34—year—old, who's won a record nine australian open men's titles, has repeatedly declined to say if he's been vaccinated for covid—19, a requirement demanded by organisers at melbourne park unless given an exemption. he said, "i'm not coming, guys, to the atp cup. we'll see about the australian open." i mean, he didn't specify if he's coming or not, but that he's waiting for the decision. he kept in touch with all of us, and, as i said, it was a last—minute decision. the australian open is still uncertain for us, i mean, i don't know the information. so, i think that will come in the next couple of days or whenever the deadline is. so, we don't know right now. and hopefully he will be there and be able to play the grand slam. and that's all the sport for now. just a reminder, manchester united win 3—1 against burnley in the english premier league this evening. hello. the unusually mild weather is set to stick with us as we see out the end of 2021. we had temperatures up to 16 degrees on thursday, about eight degrees above average, and for the next few days, it stays exceptionally mild and quite blustery, too. the winds coming in from the south or the south—west and drawing in the air right from the subtropics, from the canary isles right up towards the uk and actually across much of central europe as well. so, to start off your friday morning first thing on new year's eve, we've got temperatures already well in double figures, some places not falling below about 13 degrees. now, through the day, then, new year's eve, we're looking for a bit of rain around. it's going to clear out of northern ireland into parts of central and southern scotland. also rain clearing away from the east coast. and actually much of england, wales and northern ireland should see a bit more sunshine than we've seen over recent days, so a drier, brighterfield. temperatures up to about 15, 16, possibly 17 celsius. just a little bit cooler across the northern half of scotland, but there should be some sunshine here. now, we could well break some records. the warmest ever new year's eve was about ten years ago in 2011. colwyn bay got to 14.8 celsius, so we are set to see temperatures probably a degree or so higher than that. heading through new year's eve night now, if you've got plans, it's looking mostly dry, still very, very mild. could be some patchy rain across some northern and western areas as we see in the new year 2022. but new year's day once again looking very, very mild. we've got this very narrow band of showery rain which is going to cross its way slowly eastwards, followed by sunshine and showers for many areas. showers mainly towards the north west, so quite a bit of dry weather for new year's day on saturday. and again, you've guessed it, exceptionally mild. 13—16 celsius for most of us on new year's day. then that very mild air that's been with us starts to gradually ease away towards the near continent. we've still got mild air with us certainly from a south—westerly direction, but temperatures probably starting to come down just a notch as we head through sunday and into the first week of 2022. so, sunday really is going to be a day of some sunshine, but also plenty of showers. you can see a rash of showers across the uk, and temperatures somewhere between about 10—13 degrees, still above average, but not the exceptionally mild weather of the next couple of days. looking ahead into next week, then, fairly unsettled, not quite as mild as it has been lately. bye for now. this is bbc news — i'm lewis vaughanjones with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk
