on what's billed as super saturday. wales go into it in the driving seat and could seal the grand slam for the third time under head coach warren gatland, if they can beat ireland in cardiff. but should the irish spoil the party, that could allow england to steal the title when they face scotland at twickenham. joe lynskey looks ahead to to an exciting afternoon of rugby. among the voices from the valley may be wells choir has its tv connector. —— kiwi conductor. warren gatland has spent 12 years learning the words and shaping a team that is breaking records. in this, his final year in charge, his wales side are on a 30 team match winning streak. "13 —— 13 match winning streak. one more against ireland would seal this six nations and at the grand slam. pretty emotional afterwards. despite what everyone perceives of me, i am a guy that cries at sad movies and stuff. i am a pretty emotional person. i think afterwards, if we can
10:33 pm
secure that grand slam, i think there will be some celebrations all over wales. if this is his tenth and final six nations as wales coach. he will help to finish in the way it has all started. wales won the grand slam in his first full season, a second one followed four years later. one more perfect campaign would make tournament history. no modern culture has done the grand slam three times. —— no modern coach. but to get there, he must outsmart another culture from new zealand. this also isjoe smith last six nations with ireland. a win for them in wales cardiff lipsey whales to the top. that opens the door across the seven. by saturday evening, england that have a real route to the title. they have not lost to scotland at twickenham since the 80s. we have got a good neck of a team, second best team in the world ireland. i've had to battle through. now they have had the opportunity to salvage something.
10:34 pm
we started off well, had a bit of a mishap for 30 minutes against wales. now we are back in contention. this is the weekend rightly reaches its crescendo. —— rugby reaches its crescendo. beyond that, it could shape the mood for september's world cup. for three coaches in three adopted nations, this year the super saturday has even more at stake. let's round up some of the day's other sport now. tommy fleetwood is still in the lead at players championship in florida. he's two shots clear of ian poulter on 12 under, thanks in part to this brilliant eagle from the bunker. rory mcilroy is three shots off the pace. there was a re—run of last season's grand final in super league, where warrington made up for that old trafford defeat in october by beating champions wigan. josh charnley‘s spectacular finish here was the difference in a 25—12 win for the wolves. elsewhere tonight, london broncos won at leeds and wakefield beat hull fc.
10:35 pm
and lewis hamilton headed a mercedes one—two in second practise at the season—opening australian grand prix. the reigning world champion edged team mate valtteri bottas with red bull's max verstappen third. ferrari, who appeared to have the quickest car in preseason testing, were fourth with sebastian vettel. amongst the drives this weekend are two rookies from the uk. george russell is 21 and racing for williams. 19—year—old lando norris becomes britain's youngest ever formula one driver. just before they flew to australia, radio 1 newsbeat s christian hugh—gill caught up with them it is still very surreal. i remember my first f1 race. just seeing the ca i’s my first f1 race. just seeing the cars was incredible. nothing else like it. ever since i saw that, formula 1 was my dream. it will feel a bit odd watching them on tv all that long ago, thinking i want to be
10:36 pm
there one day. it's quite odd how quickly can happen. the first time i stepped into one, my body was sort of in hell, i was in so much pain. the force which is massive, i couldn't hold my neck up. you go on a roller coaster and you feel the g forces sometimes. it's like that, but a hundred times worse. there are a lot of things to concentrate on. and for an hour a lot of things to concentrate on. and foran hourand a lot of things to concentrate on. and for an hour and a half, it takes quite a toll on your body and mind. i get nervous when drivers are too close to me. how will it feel when thatis close to me. how will it feel when that is a formula 1 car and you realise that lewis hamilton is behind you? if i'm lucky, not so good. i look forward to hopefully racing notjust good. i look forward to hopefully racing not just lewis good. i look forward to hopefully racing notjust lewis hamilton, but some of the top drivers in the world. when i was growing up and watching formula 1, they were winning all the races and championships. now i'm alongside them. that surreal. in formula 1,
10:37 pm
you have the 20 best drivers in the world, and to get that opportunity, you can't take it for granted. so every since i've had formula 1 on my radar, i wanted to have a phone call to say i was in there tomorrow. you don't get second chances in this industry, so i've been ready for a while stop what you will be the youngest british driver to make their formula 1 debut ever. how does that feel? it's great for me to see. it is not something that puts pressure on me or takes it away. something to look back on when i'm older, but i need to make most of the opportunity to try to beat people. my aim is to win, notjust to say i raced with lewis hamilton or sebastian vettel, or whoever. when i'm on the grid, i think to myself, this is f1. i've made it. that's all from sportsday with me, will perry. we'll have more sport
10:38 pm
throughout the weekend. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are kate proctor, political correspondent at the evening standard, and henry zeffman, political correspondent at the times. welcome to both of you. you will not be surprised to see that the majority of papers are leading with the events in new zealand, so we will go straight to those. rather than taking the ones i have a particular angle, it makes sense to talk about the ones that are effectively telling the story
10:39 pm
straight. kate, take us to the guardian about how many died. they say this is the worst mass shooting in new zealand history. the death toll of 49 in one day is the most number of murders new zealand has had any single year. so this has been deeply shocking to new zealand has had any single year. so this has been deeply sho outside us, where there are patrols outside of mosques. and the un general secretary has also condemned it, saying there is an urgent need to tackle islamaphobia across the world. so this has happened in new zealand and it has completely
10:40 pm
shocked the the small nation, but the reverberations are significant. as you said, to some people the fact that it as you said, to some people the fact thatitis as you said, to some people the fact that it is new zealand somehow makes it even starker, because that is not a place you anticipate anything like this? it certainly seemed from the cove rage this? it certainly seemed from the coverage to date that it is particularly true for new zealanders themselves, who have seen lots of people on the news from new zealand saying this was not the thing they expected to happen in their country. there's barely any murder in new zealand. in 2017, there were only 35 murders throughout the year in the country. just this attack on to mosques in one short period of time, 49 people have been killed. clearly thatis 49 people have been killed. clearly that is something incredibly dramatic and shocking for new zealanders who see their country as somewhere perhaps a little bit out of the way and out of the chaos of the rest of the world. that murder statistic is extraordinary, isn't
10:41 pm
it? a population of 5 billion people --5 it? a population of 5 billion people —— 5 million people? it? a population of 5 billion people -- 5 million people? clearly for this small country but very peaceful and tolerant, harmonious country, it is notjust a large number, but a large rupture in how their society robs along. that is one paper that chooses to tell the story fairly straight. others have taken particular angles. take us to the mirror, which is trying to give us some sense of the background of the alleged killer? yes, the daily mirror has a photo of the alleged killer, brenton tarrant, who is 28 now. they have him as a child. i say it always is a bit strange when newspapers do this with people who have committed despicable crimes. the first two words of the headline
10:42 pm
are angelic boy, and that captures the gravity — — are angelic boy, and that captures the gravity —— doesn't capture the gravity of what britain has done as an adult. —— brenton. the mirror is trying to make a point about how young children can turn into evil mass murderers, but i'm not sure it hits the mark. i would've preferred to see a front page that focused on the victims and the muslim community in new zealand, rather than giving so in new zealand, rather than giving so much space to this blond haired, blue—eyed boy. i'm not quite sure, are we supposed to relate to him? i find it a little bit strange, the horror that someone who looked like this as a child could commit such atrocities. it is not a very fitting front page, and i don't think we get very much from it, really. but i think the point they're trying to make is that in many he was a normal quy- make is that in many he was a normal guy. he was a fitness fanatic, use
10:43 pm
of heavy user, he went to the gym all the time. we are getting bits and pieces about his lifestyle, travelling extensively to europe and pakistan. i think the daily mirror is trying to build a picture of who this guy is. they put it there in the front, a photo has emerged of tarrant as a child with his dad. clearly the appetite for newspapers is to seek as much material and as many explanations and images as they can in situations like this, whether we like it or not. and it is a complicated story to find your own way to tell obviously. but the story of who he is or was as a child will emerge in the coming days and months as he ends up in court. kate, the telegraph, the first social media terror attack? the telegraph's focus on the fact that he live streamed the shooting, so it was possible for
10:44 pm
people to watch as it happened as he went into the mosques. and he uploaded it to places on the web — can you help me out with this, ha and? this channel i had not heard about before, i was reading about... millions of anonymous users. and regulation on it sound like it is nonexistent, you can say extreme things and the moderation of comments is not going through as vigilantly as some other social media sites attempt to do. so this video was horrific and about 300,000 people saw it. the criticism is that social media companies have not acted quick enough, that some of this footage was up there for hours and hours without it being taken down, even when some serious
10:45 pm
complaints were made. as well as media companies, they had the footage. this is really serious, you should not be able to view this. there must be a stepping up in responsibility if you are going to bea responsibility if you are going to be a platform that puts out these images. everyone has to try so much harder, with this stuff should not get through. 20 years ago, you would never have been able to be at the scene of a horrific crime, and we all know the these things inspire other people. the guy that's committed this crime has had a long litany of things that happen around the world that inspired him, and his contacts the world that inspired him, and his co nta cts o n the world that inspired him, and his contacts on social media have been extensive. use the fact that so many people saw it, it is clearly not something you chance upon. you seek it out? yes, there is definitely an element of that. one of the things as well as the question about how he was able to live stream on facebook what he was doing as he was
