you know, i would be in the bus already on the way home drinking and celebrating. it doesn't feel at all like this. it really doesn't until you have got it done? we come here, first in the table, and we play against norwich, bottom of the table. there is no feeling before the game, we will do that. how about this for a winner, from burnley‘s matej vydra against southampton — a brilliant strike — as they won 2—1, that leaves them five points off fifth place. celtic have a ten point lead at the top heading into their match with aberdeen in the scottish premiership later after nearest rivals rangers fell away. we love a late goal don't we. we had one yesterday, ross county salvaging a 1—1 draw at home to stjohnstone. billy mckay with it deep in injury time. the fifth round of the women's fa cup starts today, with quarterfinal places at stake. arsenal were due to face lewes at one o'clock but the match has been called off due to storm dennis. i doubt this‘ll be the last fixture to fall foul of the weather so do check the bbc sport

for the greatest stage. she ran easily to victory in this iooom — not the world record she had hoped for, but a foundation for what is to come. that's me for indoors, that's me done. back to training tomorrow, out in the wind and rain, yeah. reekie is five years laura muir's junior but already she has broken two of her british records. the latest win in her rapid rise came here in the 1500 metres. jemma reekie gets the win! and without usain bolt, there is a space in tokyo for a new global star. it could be this 20—year—old swede in the pole vault. commentator: has he got enough today? yes, he has! unbelievable! this is armand duplantis, with a new world record. ajump nearly 2m clear of a double—decker bus. he is an athlete with an edge, and this is the year when it matters most. joe lynskey, bbc news.

taking the sport to new heights. already relegated saracens showed there's still plenty of fight in the team as they beat sale, despite their off field issues — and how about this try. it came for leicester against wasps. telusa veainu scooping up a loose ball to run virtually the entire length of the field as they won 18—9 but they're still second from bottom, with only saracens below, because of their record points deduction. edinburgh are top of pro 14's conference b after beating scarlets — matt scott breaking clear for their second try. details of all the day's games are on the bbc sport website. the controversy surrounding israel folau's return to rugby league is still rumbling. the super league is investigating claims two spectators were told to remove rainbow flags during his debut for catalans dragons yesterday. folau scored a try to help them beat castleford. he was sacked by rugby australia for posting homophobic comments on social media but dragons say the flags symbolising lgbt pride are not forbidden at their ground.

hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are the former associate editor of the times, anne ashworth and business journalistjohn crowley. let's take a look at the front pages. many of them leading on the death of tv presenter, caroline flack. "the love island star takes her own life, aged just a0" is how the sunday people report her death. the sunday mirror calls the presenters death a ‘valentines tradgedy‘ and reports she took her life three weeks before her trial for allegedly assaulting her partner. also featuring a photo of caroline is the daily mail, but leads on a story about the duchess of cambridge‘s struggle with "mummy guilt". kate middleton talks about motherhood in an insightful podcast interview. in the observer, the new attorney general — suella braverman — is in a contraversial buddhist sect, despite its founder being accused

of sexual abuse. coronavirus fronts the telegraph as millions are told to stay at home and ‘self—isolate‘ if they experience flu—like symptoms — that's advice from the uk government. and the sunday times reports that number 10 has told the bbc that the licence fee will be scrapped and replaced with a subscription. we will come onto that because i know you both have views on that subject. let's start with the death of caroline flack yesterday. what a tragedy. i think anybody working up to this new shoe did not hear it last night will think what a tragedy. let us never speculate about why someone ended their own life but this beautiful young woman, very presented, dancer, she won strictly come dancing, has ended it all, just i had a case that involved her and her boyfriend. i always

believed very strict rules in how newspapers must report these things andi newspapers must report these things and i was looking very carefully to make sure those were being followed but i think... used to do a lot with... there are real concerns about how you cover a suicide because nobody ever billy knows. i think this —— really knows. this was something theresa may try to sort andi something theresa may try to sort and i think should be in the forefront of our minds at the moment and policy but also i think it is a moment for this whole reality tv thing where we see people who seek affirmation, putting themselves in front of the public to be loved and thought of as the sexiest, the most gorgeous, which is what love ireland is all about. —— love ireland. but how stable, fragile and the terrible inclination as your previous guest

showed of the human mind to focus on the bad things said about us rather than all the praise and love? to look at what kind of society. praise and love are outweighed the criticism of her. what do you make of the way the papers have reported? the sunday people have captured for the best here. i don't know if readers can see it. a lovely photograph and simple presentation. beautiful, glamorous, photogenic and by co nt ra st beautiful, glamorous, photogenic and by contrast some of the other papers show herjust before christmas when she was at the magistrates' court looking stressful, glassy eyed, which i think is the wrong course. the sunday people have captured her in the right way and i think carrying on from what and says, people around, thrashing around for

who's to blame and we are on a programme talking about the media. do the tabloids bear some responsibility? do they need to reflect on how they have covered her and other people? yes. do media personalities who deem to talk on people's lives, do they need to reflect on it? yes to social media companies need to take a look at how haters disseminated on their prop platforms? to the general public, many millions who have never met caroline in their lives were to still thought they had the licence to speak about her life and criticise her, do they bear some responsibility? i think at i'll. does and caroline flack looking out at us, our society today, as we enter the third decade of the 215t century. it does not look pretty at the moment and you wonder, we will bring your hands and say this is terrible but i wondering the next few days and weeks whether things will go back to normal but there is a choice we can make about how we look at ourselves as a society and how we cover people. in the public

eye. the sun on sunday has a lovely photograph, a very bold photograph. the question is important, it has been a hugely powerful force for itv in giving a lot of strength to the company. it has given it a lot of success company. it has given it a lot of success and actually allowed to get to an audience that people in this industry are desperate to get too which is a young audience they hope will be an audience that will stay with them at a time when broadcasting is under strain and threat as an organisation, how does this play in because this is a really dilemma for itv executives. i hugely popular brand but one which is now associated with the death of its presenter, the death of two former presenters and someone else connected to one of those co ntesta nts. connected to one of those contestants. fairly or connected to one of those co ntesta nts. fairly or u nfa i rly connected to one of those contestants. fairly or unfairly and it may be entirely unfair, we can see one causes the other because

there are correlations there is not necessarily causation, but it is a difficult one? sitting here today, you look at the love island brand and think it is tainted, but the whole of television is in pursuit of people in their teens and mid 20s who watch love island. if you sit with a group of twentysomethings, they talk about the contestants as if they know them and their favourites and the people they are starting to like. people feel a link to these programmes that they don't other shows. exactly what this means for the chief executive and the rest of her board at itv, some very big decisions today. there is a thin line between having a link and thinking you own them and that is more for some unclear and we will be talking in a second about the duchess of cambridge being a mother,

where you give a bit of yourself and caroline gave a bet for sell through social media and that was kind of her lustre, that was, let's not forget she was an extremely talented presenter. in our household, we saw heron presenter. in our household, we saw her on strictly come dancing, voted for her all the way through, she was an amazing dancerand for her all the way through, she was an amazing dancer and a popularity contest because your personality had to shine through. she was incredibly liked and gave so much of herself away and i think on love island, someone was seeing away and i think on love island, someone was seeing this error, how she empathised with the contestants. almost by living in that goldfish bowl herself, she knew what they we re bowl herself, she knew what they were going through herself. were going through and bowl herself, she knew what they were going through and unfortunately she has paid the ultimate price and are young woman lies dead. and we are young woman lies dead. and we are talking about her now. very sad. the popularity contest, likes and seeking affirmation, the whole time,

very, very sad but the love island brand well now always be associated with this because this will be the first thing written about love island, the very sad death of its presenter. and they have cancelled the show, her friend, presenter. and they have cancelled the show, herfriend, laura presenter. and they have cancelled the show, her friend, laura whitmore who took over presenting duties... who knows what she is going through. she is doing a programme on five live this morning which we might hear a bit more about. as she is dealing with that. if you or someone you know has been affected by the issues raised this morning, you can find help and support on the bbc‘s actionline website, at bbc.c0. uk/actionline. it will point you in the direction of some of the other resources available to you. let's move on to the telegraph. you lick your lips in

anticipation when you saw this on the front cover. this is so any patch. politics and taxation i could bore about forever but if you remember seven weeks ago we heard there was going to be a mansion tax on more expensive properties in the budget which is currently scheduled for 11th of march but may not happen then, maybe it is postponed for a little while. rishi sunak you as we saw this week has been appointed as the new chancellor in what was quite the new chancellor in what was quite the reef reshuffle. but it seems they are rowing back on the idea and sajid javid, the former chancellor disappointed this own this idea. this was not his idea whose was it? yes, whose was it? it is not seem to have played very well with the tory grassroots. but where are they going to find all the money then? because we are going to be going into a programme where we level up and have enough a lot of spending in the

north. what does this mean? to all the fiscal rules have to be broken in the budget, the commitments on spending on debt interest and all of thatis spending on debt interest and all of that is now up for question as to how they are going to get this money but it just shows how they are going to get this money but itjust shows you if you seem to threaten anything to do with the british and their houses, those who own them will be up in arms. there isa own them will be up in arms. there is a very interesting figure i was looking at... you don't have to have a mansion for people to assume you're in the firing line. an interesting figure i looked at last week, my life is sad, yes. 28 billion is the cost of us being new to seller houses paying capital gains task tax on them. if anyone has been looking at that particular concession which allows you to make a lot of money on your first home, tax—free, i would think that they could expect the tory grassroots

would certainly be in rebellion but also the story suggests what we thought was going to be no council tax revaluation. surely it is overdue? mansion tax is like frankenstein sponsor, it keeps coming back. i frankenstein sponsor, it keeps coming back. lam mixing my undead metaphors, but a steak to the heart and they kill it. there is a roundabout who came up with it because sajid javid are saying this came from dominic cummings cabinet. let's hit all those rich people in the southeast with their imaginings. he will blame it for precipitating his departure. on the question of the council tax revaluation, wales dead some years back. in effect, it means if i understand this, it means basically it has become less progressive as time has gone on because values have risen so all the people who got properties above a certain price are all paying pretty much the same out of money unit

their property is worth vastly different? the problem with council tax is that you would need a revaluation which is costly. however, maybe we have the technology to do it. it is often argued that adding a few more bands at the very top so that what is a very nice house in a suburb is not in the same category as a gorgeous £46 million town house. there is also an idea that she would ask people to voluntarily pay more council tax towards social care in particular. and councils can, without a referendum, put out the council tax by 2% you can see how much i obsess about this. the odds thing about this is when new governments come in the talk about fiscal responsibility because they are saving all the goodies to the end. boris, should not call him boris, prime ministerjohnson, because boris denotes that he is a

fun character, prime minister johnson is coming on like a kid in a sweet shop, spending money with wild abandon. it is not mansion tax, how are we going to pay for this? this was the row that sajid javid, the former chancellor was having with numberten former chancellor was having with number ten because they wanted to turn on the spend, they wanted to turn on the spend, they wanted to turn on the spending tax and see what happens. let's to the coronavirus. millions to be told to stay at home if coronavirus spreads. the interesting thing about this as there are clearly huge financial impacts. the chinese effectively saying we will shutdown if you come back from abroad, commented asian, locked the door, don't come out to two weeks. coming to beijing's is ha rd to two weeks. coming to beijing's is hard to imagine anyone else like that. they have closed off millions of people in the wuhan area which the communist party of china could pull off in the fact it is not a democracy. it seems like they are

acknowledging that we may be moving from containment to having to deal with it but the problem for me is we have just talking about this punch and judy show over the budget and la st and judy show over the budget and last week, who is in charge of? two is taking charge here? where as prime ministerjohnson is taking charge here? where as prime minister johnson speaking about this? we will be talking in a second about plans to the bbc, they are talking about the bbc about how they will blow up the licence fee. they are talking about... years off anyway, still another few years. the prime objective of a government should be to look after their government. should we be worried? i get it. we should not have every spit and coffer on what is going on and worry people unnecessarily. but where is the chief medical officer? he was on the today programme last week. we kind of need a face for this to reassure people. almost daily updates? can i draw you to the

front of the observer on this because talking about keeping people safe, the duty of government. britons on board this, clearly don't think the government is keeping them safe. britons, should they get rescue? it is an interesting issue this. they are on this liner, beginning to feel very afraid as to how much longer this is going to last. the americans are coming in... in this story that is not seem to be any government source that says this is our any government source that says this is our programme, any government source that says this is our programme, what the health impact would be, we're reaping at repatriations and the economic impact of this. we saw in the reshuffle last week, i kept wondering which one of these people is in charge of all of this? there

are black swans that hit every economy on a regular basis and this could be one of the biggest. let's look at the times. number ten tells bbc licensee will be scrapped. it is not a huge surprise, is it? —— licence fee would be removed by the government? it doesn't seem to be a debate going on? it's supposed to be a consultation. we are on the bbc now, you might expect us to defend it. i think everyone here would agree that no institution is perfect, mistakes have been made, reform is needed. but the kind of language that is coming out of it. we are going to whack it? we are going to whack the licence fee, former culture secretary, no fan it would be fair to say of the bbc, coming back as a minister of state. he is in mission attack is his

struck instruction. so there does not seem to be a debate going on and it does not seem to be anyone actually outside the bbc defending the bbc in this case. i don't know. iam the bbc in this case. i don't know. i am extremely baffled by all this, did anyone who voted tory either as a long—standing tory voter or one of the new people, vote to get rid of our public service broadcaster? i don't think that was necessarily mentioned. also, if there is some issue about the bbc serving only the elite and representing ion minority from islington, would not be what —— on the older richer people wanted pay the subscription fee would be

entitled to enjoy what the bbc has to offer, ijust wonder whether there is enough a lot of focus on this, what about coronavirus? and all canes of other issues that we really do care about? the prime minister gives a list in the cabinet cabinet meeting where he got them to repeat i suspect he noticed the ones who were a bit unsure on the numbers of new hospitals, new police officers and so on. you can tell her he was educated, learning stuff off by rote. like latin verbs. we will end by mentioning katejust briefly. a slightly more optimistic take on the struggles of mental illness? this is a segway in a way back to caroline flack because their expanse look at and —— —— expensively, that you can take duchess of cambridge exit stage right, there is a feeling

perhaps, an allegation you can make that and duchess of cambridge shouldn't move to the centre, what she speaks about welch i'm i think with lots of people up and down the country. it feels real, she has a very privileged life when she says we are animals, we need people around us, never was a tour word said. no man is an island, a woman either. there are good to have you here with me. thank you for your company. we will be back with the news just after the weather. very strong winds have been part of the story of storm dennis this weekend. it is rain that has an causing bigger problems. the met office issuing a red warning this

morning for south wales for further heavy rain following into areas that have already seen huge amounts of rainfall. that water running through the river catchment is giving some really quite severe flooding and a risk to life. as you can see more broadly across wales there is another warning, also part of northern england in south—west and towards the south—east. we already have numerous flood warnings and some severe flood warnings in force as well in wales england and scotland, further rain will not be welcome. this is how things will look as we go through this afternoon, heavy bursts of rain continued to track across the south and east of england. parts of wales turning brighter, also northern england, northern ireland and scotla nd england, northern ireland and scotland brighter but in these areas will be some shows, some of which will be some shows, some of which will be some shows, some of which will be heavy, thundery and wintry. over hike and in scotland. still pretty windy, quite widely this afternoon, when castle 45—55 miles and emma, a little stronger in places.

by by 4pm values between six and 9 degrees. through the ceiling, finally losing that rain in the south—east corner, as the area of low pressure passes close to north scotla nd low pressure passes close to north scotland it will drive another sway overly strong winds, gusts of 60—70 miles an hour, 70 miles likely across the north of the mainland and winds could be damaging, continuing to drive showers, some will continue to drive showers, some will continue to be heavy over hype into the north. a relatively cool tomorrow, i do have sunshine and showers, quieter on the face of it, quieter than today but gusts of 40-50. quieter than today but gusts of 40—50. still some windy over high ground in the north. temperatures between eight and ii ground in the north. temperatures between eight and 11 degrees. deeper

into the week it stays fairly windy. some further showers at times, rain spreading and during wednesday. this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 10. as tributes continue to pour in for the love island presenter caroline flack, her management have criticised the crown prosecution service for refusing to drop charges that she assaulted her boyfriend. caroline flack's boyfriend lewis burton says his "heart is broken" and that "we had something so special". heavy rain and strong winds continue to lash large parts of the uk, with a number of severe flood warnings in place in wales and scotland, meaning there's a danger to life. the concern that the river behind me could actually get even higher as high tide approaches around 11 o'clock, as all the rain that has fallen over the last 24 hours and will continue to form will push the river higher, causing even more damage.
