hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sienna rodgers, who's the editor at labourlist, and the political strategist and former adviser to borisjohnson when he was the mayor of london, jo tanner. good evening to you both. thank you so much for being with us. and we willjust give you a sneak preview of those front pages, then. the metro leads with claims by dominic cummings, borisjohnson�*s former chief adviser, that the prime minister misled parliament when he said he wasn't aware of the party on may 20 in 2020 in the back garden of downing street. the guardian goes with the same story, which is captured in its headline, "cummings accuses pm of lying over no 10 party". the times too makes that its top story with an almost identical treatment. the mirror reports that borisjohnson allegedly "waved aside" objections to that now—infamous number 10 party, according to dominic cummings. the i newspaper says that the conservatives are now 13 points behind labour in the latest poll in the wake of partygate. the ft breaks with the consensus — it reports that ministers are thinking of paying energy suppliers to help with household bills. the daily telegraph says magistrates are to get greater powers to clear the trials backlog. and finally, the daily mail reports that british troops have been sent to ukraine to try to make russia think twice about a possible invasion. let's start with the mirror. jo, why don't you kick us off? the mirror have made a lot of the running on the story with various exclusives, but this is from dominic cummings blog — pm gave go—ahead for that party in may of 2020. what do you make of that? this party in may of 2020. what do you make of that?— make of that? this is the sort of latest revelation _ make of that? this is the sort of latest revelation from _ make of that? this is the sort of latest revelation from the - make of that? this is the sort of latest revelation from the prime minister's former chief of staff dominic cummings, who, i think it is fairto say, dominic cummings, who, i think it is fair to say, has left with an axe to grind. he is deaf and they got it in for the pm and wants to continue to throw accusations —— he has definitely got it in for. this is quite a big one. he is suggesting he did warn the prime minister that the party was ill advised. it was organised by this intimacy another went around from the deputy private secretary that was inviting colleagues to go into the dentist regarding —— this infamous e—mail now. —— the downing street garden. this is interesting, because he was there at the time, and it is a suggestion, dominic cummings suggesting is it contradicts what the prime ministers said in the house of commons last week. the challenge with this is, dominic cummings himself was very discredited over his own actions when he was diagnosed with covid, when he was diagnosed with covid, when he was diagnosed with covid, when he tested positive for covid while still in number 10, and you will remember the infamous rose garden press conference he gave, rather obscure, sitting at a strange table, sat in the garden, talking to journalists about what happened, and many had concerns about his story at the time. the interesting thing here is this is one of a series of events, one of which, we found out from last week, was actually a leaving party for one of the people responsible for writing the very rules, in terms of the restrictions that we were all under at the time, so there is a very, very odd picture about what is going on at number 10, and perhaps was the prime minister getting conflicting advice? this is something sue gray will be looking at, the senior civil servant looking at, the senior civil servant looking at what actually happened. she is due to report. we were hoping it was good to be this week. it drags on and on, will we await more information. and whether her report will be enough for people to draw a line under this, who knows? certainly, dominic cummings has revelation from the outside. it we revelation from the outside. if we look at the _ revelation from the outside. if we look at the times, _ revelation from the outside. if we look at the times, their _ revelation from the outside. if we look at the times, their version is... if it can ever be established that boris johnson is... if it can ever be established that borisjohnson did mislead mps in the house of commons, obviously that would pretty much be the end of him, but it is really a question, isn't it, on this particular issue of who you believe — borisjohnson or dominic cummings? of who you believe - boris johnson or dominic cummings?— of who you believe - boris johnson

pregnant and thought i had another partner at events. i do not really know, ifind it another partner at events. i do not really know, i find it quite difficult to believe that as a prime minister in the sort of situation that he was in, and even theresa may to some extent, i probably would have assumed theresa may would have been empty to hit the bottle herself a few times given the brexit bill! but actually with so much going on, and so many twists and turns in the current virus pandemic, i still find it very hard to believe there was a very big drinking culture —— coronavirus pandemic. i do have a question mark over the fact that prime ministers do have a divisors and they do take a lot of advice, they actually have to take decisions based on people giving conflicting advice, and you do have to wonder whether even if what dominic cummings is saying may be true, but was it that boris johnson cummings is saying may be true, but was it that borisjohnson asked other people and said, are we ok with this? and of the people said, no problem, it is a work event, you don't have to worry. we only about one side of it. the idea that several parties were going on and this was a regular culture happening, it does seem very shocking. whether this is something i... i do not believe he is a big reveler himself. i do not think prime ministers are themselves usually, it is a quite exhausting job. i can imagine hejust —— you just want to go and check yourself away from it all. -- you just want to go and check yourself away from it all.- yourself away from it all. siena, briefl ,

even by her own side as to what exactly the plan was, where she kept having to repeat that this was about starting a debate, and it looked quite an odd approach. normally never meant produce a white paper, they have their ideas they set out, and instead this looks off the cuff, which was a very strange piece of theatre within the house of commons, and actually this... the yorkshire post talk about this being a vendetta, and it has started a sniffing debate, which this very channel... —— a significant debate. actually, this strange situation of the government not appearing to have a plan, and lots of commentators talking about how strange it is this is about the cost of living when, actually, they have lots of other things they could be dealing with to deal with the cost of living, such as energy prices, the price of people's goods and food generally. so it is going to be quite engine —— an interesting move, to what happens. nadine dorries was talking to the cultural heritage of the bbc, but it is seeing as a potentially dangerous move for the bbc�*s future... one of the people talking, actually quoted as well, in the piece, is... one of rishi sunak�*s former colleagues, certainly somebody he had looked up and was behind some of the support schemes that were being developed. he was a banker that was helping. he has got a prominent role as a chairman of the bbc.

in terms of changes that are needed, and this is probably... there are accusations this is part of the operation to save the conservative party or borisjohnson, but actually it is part of, we hope, some significant policy moves, and i would welcome that no matter what. interestingly, this is essentially giving magistrates the power to jail people, for example, for up to year, which would take pressure off some other courts. it has got some challenges, because people who have these powers would have to take about how they use those powers, but actually there are amazing people who do that work up and down the country, and the idea is you are judged by others that live in your locality, and they listen intently to the case and make a decision accordingly, so this is seen to be a move to effectively help. defendants will be given the option to have a jury will be given the option to have a jury if they prefer, but the pizza point is to clear the backlog which, given the backlogs in

french have announced. the reality is, we have announced. the reality is, we have rules now, if you are going to big events, they will require vaccination and so therefore if the players themselves are not doing that, there is a huge challenge. we have already seen some concern over what is going on with the premier league. they will inevitably see ramifications for international football as well, and we had this very strange set of last week. it was like a live game on with the... djokovic appeared to look like he thought he would be ok. and then the french made this move over vaccine passes, and i went with —— wimbledon themselves are not confirming it is going to happen. that is it for the papers this evening. my thanks again to sienna and jo. the papers will be back again tomorrow evening with shaun ley presenting, and the reviewers will be journalist and times radio presenter jenny kleeman and political commentator and former conservative party press chief giles kenningham. dojoin them if do join them if you can. dojoin them if you can. be good do join them if you can. be good for you tojoin us. but do join them if you can. be good for you to join us. but that's it from the paper review for tonight. from all of us, a very good night to you. good evening, i'm tulsen tollett, and this is your sports news, where we start with everton, who've have made contact with the belgian football association about roberto martinez taking over from rafael benitez. this after his controversial time in charge came to an end on sunday after less than seven months in charge. our reporter patrick gearey has the latest. the writing was on the banners. the defeat to bottom side norwich was everton's ninth loss in 12 and the end of a strange and unhappy chapter in their chaotic recent history. after being sacked, rafa benitez admitted he'd misjudged the magnitude of the task, and part of that was rooted in history. in many evertonians' imaginations, this is rafa benitez — liverpool's manager for six years. so it would be uphill from the start as everton boss, and soon he stumbled. benitez�*s team careered off—course. they now sit 16th in the table, just about surviving a scare against hull city in the cup. what's more, the club have just sold star leftback lucas digne. last month, they dismissed director of football marcel brands. so the focus moves up to the owner, farhad moshiri. i know we're pushing into the latter end of january, but it seems as though the pantomime season never really ends at everton. and i think most of this ultimately leads back to farhad moshiri. i think this is probably one appointment too far now, in terms of fans questioning him roundly for every single element of his input. in one sense, moshiri knows where he wants to take everton — to this site on liverpool docks, where their new stadium will be built. and he's spent big on the footballing side too, but here, the direction is less clear. should they now appoint an old boy like wayne rooney or an old boss like roberto martinez? there may be no right answer. it's not going to be an easy gig at this moment in time for anyone who gets it, but the simple thing that they know now which previous managers hadn't had the pleasure of knowing was that the season is about survival. whoever it is that comes in, if they survive this season and then start to build again and then be given time, then they've got a chance. martinez is the man they've approached first. since leaving the club, he's been coaching belgium, ranked as the best national team in the world. but remember how it ended last time — sacked by moshiri. at everton, even new stars can have an echo of the past. patrick gearey, bbc news. staying with the premier league and burnley�*s match against watford tomorrow has been postponed. sean dyche's side don't have the required number of players due to injuries, africa cup of nations commitments and covid—19 issues. to bring a true competitive element to a league, that's why the rules are there. you need to put out a team that feel they can be a competitive team. when you get to a point where you can't feel you can and the league sees that you can't, then that has to be looked at. and the health and welfare, which everyone talks about. the hardest thing of all, don't forget, and to give you a view of the covid situation, because everyone has to isolate, they can't train. and therefore, when they come back in, you've got two days to get them ready and then they've got to play. and that's very difficult. celtic were 2—0 winners over hibernian as a full capacity crowd was allowed following the lifting of scottish government restrictions. fans are back for the first time in 2022 and came in their

midfielder christian eriksen could return to the premier league. brentford have confirmed that they've spoken to the danish international about the possibility of signing him. eriksen's contract was

zealand to tonga. can anyone please direct me to where i can send a container?" tui lolohea, a rugby league player from huddersfield giants, has also been giving his reaction. i've seen...just images of houses. i've seen one of a car that was out there, and people ran out to check if anyone was in the car. and as they were running back in, the waves were coming in pretty hard, so it's pretty hard to watch. but, you know, full credit to the people that have helped people along this tough week they have had. i probably will donate something or do something to raise money, to send money back. i think it is a nice gesture, to help my people get them back on their feet. it's day two at the australian open, with britain's emma raducanu on court for her first match in the evening session in

chilly start to tuesday morning, widespread frost, the exception being parts of western scotland, northern ireland. a bit more of a breeze here. but temperatures away from towns and city centres could get as low as —3 to —5, particularly through the heart of england. it's here where there's the greatest chance of some fog patches forming to take us into the morning commute. some of that will be pretty dense in places, slow to clear. away from that, though, most will go through the morning fairly sunny. a bit more cloud develops across the south into the afternoon. and across northern ireland and scotland, the cloud will increase more generally, bringing some outbreaks of rain, particularly for northern ireland and western scotland. but they will be fairly showery in nature. still some dry weather to be had. 9 or 10 celsius here with that breeze coming off the atlantic. where the fog lingers the longest, a chilly 3 to 5 celsius are the highs even with some brightness. then as we go into tuesday night, it stays largely dry across the southern half of the country, but some heavy showers, gusty winds push down across scotland, northern ireland and eventually into northern england. but it does mean a colder start to wednesday morning. see you soon. and, one of the great wartime mysteries, who betrayed the family of anne frank to the nazis? a new investigation offers an answer.
