hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are kate proctor, political correspondent of the guardian and the journalist and broadcasterjohn stapleton. tomorrow's front pages, starting with. the telegraph reports that the government will pay for private tutors for children who have fallen behind during lockdown as part of a one billion pound ‘catch up‘ plan. the paper also features an image from today's fly—past by the red arrows and their french equivalent to mark the 80th anniversary of general charles de gaulle‘s historic wartime broadcast. the i reports millions of proposed gcse and a—level grade are likely to be marked down by exam boards
11:32 pm
this summer after ‘generous‘ predictions by teachers. ‘how many more corona fiascos?‘ asks the daily mail after the government admitted it is scrapping its own coronavirus—tracing app and that the new version may not be ready by winter. the times reports the contact—tracing programme setback will hamper efforts to lift social distancing restrictions and features an image of prime minister borisjohnson keeping a safe distance from president macron when they met at number 10 downing street earlier today. the metro pays tribute to the singer dame vera lynn — who has died at the age of 103. she became famous during the second world war when she entertained british troops on the front line. the guardian also has an image of dame vera lynn who was known as ‘the forces‘ sweetheart‘. the paper‘s main story focuses on a review of the 2019 general election which suggests labour ‘has a mountain to climb‘ if it is to get back into power.
11:33 pm
so, let‘s begin. great to see once again. we are going to start off the daily mail and the question being asked on the front page of the daily mail. how many more coronavirus fiascoes doesn‘t refer back to the test in shambles, the ppe, and this tracking app and how it will be, the form that it will take. yes and the government has been pursuing its own version of the app, a centralised version of the app, a centralised version and having a trial period on the isle of wight and it has turned out that the app is not working how they wanted to and there is another solution out there which is a decentralised version is quite difficult to get into the versions of these apps, but the decentralised
11:34 pm
one is the version that countries in europe are strained to look at seriously and it is one that we might be looking at as well. and so, the problem has been although there‘ve been able to set up an app in terms of the information and distancing shared when they come into co nta ct distancing shared when they come into contact with each other, difficulty seemed to be ironed out and apple and google have a model that works better on their phones and we know that many people in the uk have apple iphones and so the government seems to be going in the direction of trying to work more closely with apple to try to come up with an app that‘s going to work both months the trial period in months looking into it some people are sinking would be much better to have gone with the apple, google technology at the very beginning. well done for explaining, it is
11:35 pm
complicated granted, but in terms of what we were initially promised was a world beating tracing app and yet, in fact, but we end up with this potentially not the tracing app as such, will be something that perhaps reminds people or enables them to get tests, so nothing is as efficient as we were initially promised. and let us not forget, the daily mail, the daily mail have been on their backs now for weeks on the coronavirus and the various deterrents they've done on free school meals for kids, on charging immigrant workers use the nhs, etc. they are all over the place at the moment and they want something one day in the something else the next, the handling of the coronavirus, you'll be hard—pressed to give him a c+, no one said it would be easy,
11:36 pm
it's new territory. but do not forget, four years ago they had an exercise to say but we should do when a exercise to say but we should do whena pandemic exercise to say but we should do when a pandemic else's, the lessons we re when a pandemic else's, the lessons were supposed to be learned but they we re were supposed to be learned but they were not learned. they were asleep at the wheel when the story broke when we knew would be coming to this country. borisjohnson when we knew would be coming to this country. boris johnson did attend five covid—19 meetings and the ppe scandal was served courageous and an endless stream of promises that were not capped and mismanaged. i am sorry to say this, but boris johnson says this is going to be world leading technology one minute and that'll be up and running in the end of may, he was wrong on both counts. and this shows that this government, lam afraid and this shows that this government, i am afraid to say, from time to time, just does not deliver. it goes for the easy headline, time and time again without giving too much thought to the subject of the reality and this is another classic case of that. is being picked up by
11:37 pm
other papers as well and they‘re describing this as another embarrassment for the government but we heard today matt hancock when it comes to this nhs created the google app, he is backing both horses and it is not going to be easy, but germany and italy, the financial times are pointing out, are rolling out apps based on apple and google system and yet we have onlyjust realised that they are not necessarily compatible. this with the criticism life, it‘s been weeks and weeks but we have persevered with their own version of an app and i feel as though, as journalists working, where indicted very much by the idea that too after being developed in the same time or two horses, as matt hancock strangely referred to at downing street. but thatis referred to at downing street. but that is what it‘s been going on the
11:38 pm
whole time and have been looking at this alternative technology, but it is only with us now that they‘ve actually come clean and said look, we are going to have to change tracks and we‘re going to look at google and apple in more detail. but interestingly, i‘m not sure that it is in this report of the tapes tomorrow. he of the statement saying that we are not sure about this model. the government has not spoken to us about it it will have to hear more about with the uk government is intending. but it does not sound as if it is and already off—the—shelf hybrid model to roll—out, so if they have a hybrid model, will they be with you even more weeks and months of time? will have to keep an eye out for that. when it comes to the necessity of something to be able to enable us to track and trick that is crucial because we are seeing in the times. the frustration that scotland, for example, businesses
11:39 pm
are facing by more cautious lockdown restrictions, the tougher lockdown restrictions, the tougher lockdown restrictions remaining in place or scotland. we desperately need something to bring us out of these lockdown restrictions in orderfor the economy to pick up, john. but the economy to pick up, john. but the agencies in scotland who still can't do business say. county business, of course. i had to say, i've been watching these briefings every single day but more or less every single day but more or less every day, since this problem began and nicholas sturgeon is the most impressive politician of the lot. bar none. and she is saying that i can see her point of view, we are far from added this yet and four and a half thousand new infections each day, hundred 35 people have lost their lives today. we are a long way off from resolving this in the need to take it step by step and every time you see a report of young
11:40 pm
people in my view, stupidly going to overnight rates and my home city of manchester, i almost miss a beat my heart when was going to happen now and then two days' time, his appointment is search was make this one yorkshire. today. we are long way from controlling this nature very desperately sorry for these few of their trade to keep the business going. but the health of the nation should have the most paramount importance, although the economy has to be moving at some stage. so, my heart is up to them because they have no income whatsoever in being able to reopen the business, at least in the short term. let's be very disheartening —— must be very disheartening indeed. those jobs need to continue. the times business section describes the bank of england pumping another hundred billion pounds into the
11:41 pm
economy to try and handle the spheres of hugejob economy to try and handle the spheres of huge job losses and in particular as the furlough scheme ends this year, despite the activities proving more resilient than expected. so an interesting message there. it is extremely gloomy and it is something to be quite frightened by by the fact that the chief economist here is quoted in this piece saying that this may be only half as bad as what was model last month and so he believed the recovery would recur sooner and faster than expected. that is one financial accident that it‘s a slightly more positive note. but yes, this report leaves on the future investment to try and try to stopjob future investment to try and try to stop job losses future investment to try and try to stopjob losses in future investment to try and try to stop job losses in 2 future investment to try and try to stopjob losses in 2 million possibly lost this year and it‘s because once the furlough scheme
11:42 pm
stops, britain, is going to very likely be right across the piece of leisure retail in the top professionaljobs. there are lots of what happened in 2008 and obviously, we have seen forecasts still be significantly worse. the chief economist and the bank of england believing that the recession may only be half as bad as modelled last month. so some glimmers of hope. again, let's hope it's right. the figures, these numbers are just staggering. this money chancellor keeps calling on to us out, just beggars belief. £100 billion, that's £745 billion altogether and these are figures that are almost impossible to comprehend and how
11:43 pm
they're going to recover from that and re pay they're going to recover from that and repay all that and pay for that in the end, i have of the nose. how many are going, the i the students are not able to ta ke the i the students are not able to take their a—level grades, they were guesstimated by teachers of those predictions will be marked down. it's predictions will be marked down. it‘s just really hard to understand what the class of 2020 must be experiencing at whichever point they are, whether it is university or a levels, really difficult. at the dreadfully sorry for people who were already facing some life—changing decisions of their education right at this moment and yet, they have not been in school or able to take the exams and the results are, in some degree, slightly out of their hands and i wasn‘t actually aware
11:44 pm
that the teachers were going to give predictive grades, i didn‘t know exa m ples predictive grades, i didn‘t know examples are going to have to look at that the suggestion from the workers is that the predicted results that the teachers of given them are too generous and so actually, they‘re going to down in some people, that means the dunes between going is university or employment for the education or not. and perhaps obviously they have not been able to go there in person to get the true result, so many years time, ithink get the true result, so many years time, i think there‘ll be lots of questions from in this age group thinking for those really the truest and greatest reflections of the work that i could‘ve done at the time? and so, i do feel very sad for the people who are facing big decisions about their future. i think we all do because from personal experience, those exams were the chick up the
11:45 pm
certain area that i certainly needed to get my grades up and he came to the final exams. so this is really difficult for those kids who have not been able to write for real. is very weird choice for, a great level of concern for those children, many of concern for those children, many of them in different areas of the education system particularly those that do not have the benefit of ipad and technology at home for the encouragement at home. the educational repercussions and psychological repercussions of this crisis are going to be severely felt for a very long time indeed. the daily telegraph is paying its condolences to vera lynn.
11:46 pm
the bank of england apologising for the links to slavery and saying that it isa the links to slavery and saying that it is a source of shame. more of shame talking about their responsibilities to those organisations had to slavery. is about time and i'm sure that, i would like to think this is the first form of formal apology but the stories are interesting because it comes from a study of university couege comes from a study of university college london, which tracks the beneficiaries of the huge compensation pay—out for those who owned slaves, so when slavery was abolished, slave owners in the uk we re abolished, slave owners in the uk were compensated for their financial loss. in a new many years ago that actually, many within the church of england owned slaves and it's very accessible database england owned slaves and it's very accessible data base and england owned slaves and it's very accessible database and you can put villages in, you can put towns and
11:47 pm
you could see who owns slaves and their these links to the church and i'mjusta their these links to the church and i'm just a little bit surprised that it has taken so long for some kind of apology to come out and i don't know what you think, jon d think i'm being a bit unfair? i'm a bit conflicted about this whole thing about statues and slavery. i was was initially. it's difficult to change people from threads years ago due to society standards. but, i am people from threads years ago due to society standards. but, lam not wholly convinced of the really is no place in modern society, the statues of people associate with slavery. the number of people involved, at least 20 million was paid out others years ago in compensation to people like these people, a huge chunk of the governments budget and we are still paying for it, only a few years ago. it's absolutely a
11:48 pm
register that happened. it is in my view, even associate with slavery is not worthy of that status. and another story on the papers today, the rugby union authorities are thinking about an end to the swing low sweet chariot song because of its links with slavery. that you can understand as well, how easy would that be to impose is another question? that be to impose is another question. vera lynn will talk about her in a while. the toxic culture that led to the labour defeat reveals the guardian, kate, talk us through this article because the papers saying that the labour party has a mountain to climb if it is to get back into power. that is according to a major review from 2019. a group that bills
11:49 pm
itself on being the many different sides of the labour party, different factions and those who say their centrists, those in the left, all the different shades and it‘s about to bea the different shades and it‘s about to be a unified group and this catastrophic collection 2019 and it‘s very damaging tojeremy corbyn personally, to the overall strategy and pointing out the overall message was unclear in strange and incoherent campaigning tactics and really they were just outperformed in terms of the slogan server for us to their very powerful, get brexit done slogan those used for the conservatives and that actually activated a nonvoters to come down to the pulse of the first time and this is terrible, but exited to google what the 2019 election slogan was and it‘s time for real change
11:50 pm
was and it‘s time for real change was the slogan and months later, i think that probably shows that some of the messaging and strategy, did not work there are performed vastly. but their sites to this that it‘s very unfair to place all the blame onjeremy corbyn very unfair to place all the blame on jeremy corbyn and very unfair to place all the blame onjeremy corbyn and there are lots of dedicated people knocking on doors for the party and i am sure that this report will be very disputed. after noticing some rumblings on twitter this evening and people are quite happy with the review itself. 0h and people are quite happy with the review itself. oh yeah. twitter is a popular process to be for unhappy opinions. and the guardian of standing vera lynn, a young vera lynn who, john, you interviewed everybody but you had a particularly poignant opportunity to speak at length with vera lynn. poignant opportunity to speak at length with vera lynnlj poignant opportunity to speak at length with vera lynn. i did a series on my favourite hymns which
11:51 pm
isa series on my favourite hymns which is a sort of religious version of desert island which is on tape about peoples life and times and vera lynn was always the sure choice. i had never met her before my life as quite nervous about it because she is such an iconic figure absolutely charming lovely lady, and must not forget, this is the lead to the king from the east end of london who worked with us, and told us that she would never make it as a singer but she was completely wrong and she became the sweetheart. and in this day and age, and relationship, which he did was quite remarkable by boosting the morale of a nation like no other. when we look at the famous line, will meet again and her championship boost and check the coronavirus, the virus that, but she
11:52 pm
was something else though. she said she did not want to go to europe because in europe, there are plenty of supplies or some supplies and they have let's go to a place where they have let's go to a place where they don't have any supplies. she we nt they don't have any supplies. she went to europe, she went to egypt, she slipped on a stretcher on two chairs. she was an astonishing woman and also pleased to meet her and so pleased to say that the pleasure of her company. i was there for a long time and pass the afternoon, i am pleased he could share your picture and for that. thank you so much for joining us for the papers. it is been an absolute pleasure. lovely stories, lovely memories and thank 00:22:47,301 --> 2147483051:48:09,694 you all forjoining us here on the 2147483051:48:09,694 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 papers.
