black american, looking back at the history of the empire, and they feel real rage and anger over what happened to their ancestors. you don't feel that? we don't suffer injustice as much as they do. we live privileged lives. we're not being injusticed every day as much as they are. their roots were taken from them so i can understand why you would be angry. like, i'm very proud to be irish and i love my heritage and i love my roots so i can't imagine having that taken away from me. history is no longer a gaping wound in munster. the colonial past is distant. crow chirps it really is the past. fergal keane, bbc news, munster. some other news now. a serving probationary police officer has been charged with being a member of the far right terrorist group, national action. the metropolitan police

shannon gabriel puts everything into bowling at 90mph. it's worth it. england's up—and—coming batsmen fell away. ollie pope, the fifth man out. but the big wicket was ben, captain stokes. before lunch, he should have been out but wasn't. dropped catches are expensive, a rapid rate of inflation. stokes was dropped againjust after lunch. frustration for the west indies. and he got to 43, building another essential innings. but here came the west indies captain. jason holder is officially test cricket's best all—round player and both captains sensed the significance of that moment. jos buttler helped to raise a lot of money for the nhs during lockdown. he was out for 35 here, and england were soon 204 all out. six wickets in all for jason holder, in his best ever performance as a bowler. west indies made a solid start to theirfirst innings. reaching 57 by the close and losing just one wicket. now the headband is new for lockdown

10:34 pm
hello to viewers in the uk joining those around the world. it's now time for us to take a first look at the national and international front pages in the papers. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are stefanie bolzen, uk corresponednt at german newspaper die welt, and mo hussein, former adviser to the uk conservative party. great to have you both with us on this thursday evening. lovely to see
10:35 pm
you both. let's have a look at tomorrow's front pages, starting with the daily telegraph. "salons reopen as normality edges closer," reads the front page of the telegraph as england prepares to ease lockdown restrictions further, with the reopening of close contact businesses such as nail salons, also gyms, swimming pools and outdoor performance venues. the headline for the i is "swimming and games back for summer". england is being urged by the government to "get match fit to beat the virus", the paper reports, after the government announced reopening of fitness facilities. meanwhile in the us, cases of covid—i9 are soaring, reports the international edition of the new york times. the paper says public health experts are citing the government's failure to take early supply steps. on the front page of the washington post, coverage of today's supreme court rulings that mean prosecutors can pursue president trump's financial records, ending what the paper describes as an "intense legal
10:36 pm
battle to keep them secret". elsewhere, global allies are stepping up retaliation for china's crackdown on hong kong, reports the international edition of the financial times. in singapore, voters are about to head to the ballot box to choose members of the country's parliament. the straits times reports on the safety procedures in place for a covid—safe election, including hand sanitisers and disposable gloves. back to papers in the uk, the guardian leads on a warning from the world health organisation that the coronavirus pandemic is accelerating. and finally, the daily mirror has been tallying jobs lost in the uk because of the pandemic. with boots, burger king and john lewis adding to the total in the past 2a hours, it says 150,000 jobs have now gone. so, let's begin. a quick look through at some of the
10:37 pm
front pages. let's start off with the huffington post because the paper very much focusing on what we are seeing at the supreme court in the us. when it comes to the president's financial records so the supreme court ruled that those records can be examined by prosecutors in new york. but in a related case, the court ruled this information did not have to be shared with congress. the president of course tweeting furiously but in terms of what these decisions mean, is there a winner or a loser because we are not going to see them before the election in november? know and probably there is not really a winner. it is a major development and just another battle ground between the us president donald trump and the democrats. but as you just said, it is not going to the papers and his returns will not be
10:38 pm
published in times before the election. and so the atmosphere is even now more poisoned as you just mentioned and he has already been hitting back on twitter and he is accusing the previous administration of being far more forgiving for things that his predecessors have done. he is accusing actually barack obama andjoe done. he is accusing actually barack obama and joe biden to have been spying on his campaign and they were caught but they were never prosecuted. so he is very much presenting himself as a victim in a witch hunt. he talks about a political witchhunt. if there is any criminal offences he has committed like those allegations of there might be something like tax evasion, that will not be known before the election takes place in november. 50 in that case, do you have an understanding of when we could
10:39 pm
potentially see these documents of these records? it seems that they are subject to legal proceedings at are subject to legal proceedings at a lower court, which i imagine the president and his team will pursue vigorously if it means delaying any release ahead of the election. but i think this could drag on for some time. not helped by the fact that in his initial campaign he did say that he would release these documents and he would release these documents and he has not since over the last four years. so i think this is a game changer but what impact will have on the is to be seen but the trust issue does come back and people will remember that he has and he has said that he would release him has not done that. let's turn to the i which talks about swimming and games back for the summer looking at england looking at a number of facilities being allowed to reopen, gyms, pools, leisure centres, recreational sports all being given the green
10:40 pm
light. because we are meant to be getting match for to beat the virus however we trace this. but many will be really relieved to get to the pub into bit of exercise. definitely. i am one of those so i can really understand why people are desperate to go back swimming or go back to the gym and if you remember the prime minister who after he recovered from his covid—i9 illness, he said that there are people who are obese and are overweight and have a higher risk to fall ill of the virus. and actually said the nation has to become fit and now they do open gyms again. they are going to open air pools earlier this weekend. but gyms and indoor pools have to wait until 20 for thejuly and if you look at it more in detail, it is not the same
10:41 pm
experience at all as it was. so it will be a real challenge for the gyms and especially for indoor pools to keep social distancing. and of course the number of people going to these places have to be reduced and needs to be far more staff and more cleaning and if you only look at the pools there might be very few people in there because it will be very highly restricted. how you can swim but you are not allowed to stop or overta ke but you are not allowed to stop or overtake someone so but you are not allowed to stop or overtake someone so it will not be the same experience as before. overtake someone so it will not be the same experience as beforem certainly will not be because we expect people will have to book in advance and you cannotjust pop into the gym as and when you feel like it ina bit the gym as and when you feel like it in a bit guilty and feel like you should. exactly. it will be very different. you probably will not be able to use a changing room so you will have to arrive and leave in your gym kit which may be less appealing to some i'm sure. this is
10:42 pm
all partially the kind of save our summer campaign all partially the kind of save our summercampaign in the all partially the kind of save our summer campaign in the government is very keen to inject some kind of normality back and people's lives after this three month or so slog of lockdown. but also as she alluded to there is a real focus as well on getting healthy again led by the prime minister. in dealing with one public health issue should not then lead to other public health issues down the line. sol lead to other public health issues down the line. so i think that does need to be addressed nothing we are seeing that in these announcements. and the telegraph also focusing on this reopening of various different beauty treatments but again it will not be as normal. various procedure still will not be allowed. while we have you, what is it like in germany, stephanie? what things are allowed and what are not? actually life is pretty much back to normal in germany and the only really big difference to the uk is people have
10:43 pm
to wear face masks so you have to wear face masks when you go shopping and obviously you have to wear facemasks in public transport. but other than that, actually, whether it is gyms or even bigger gatherings of up to 1000 people have been allowed already for some days so it is much more back to normal in my country than it is in the uk. and one thing that we saw the chancellor announced this huge spending plan just yesterday to kick—start the economy. the telegraph also focusing on the uk facing higher taxes. ultimately this injection into the economy will have to be paid for eventually. that is right completely. unprecedented times to call for unprecedented measures. and i think to see the action that has been taken certainly from the conservative chancellor is not
10:44 pm
something anybody would have foreseen even six months or a year ago. so all of this does add up. it is very expensive poster but in the government would argue that not doing anything would have cost a lot more so doing anything would have cost a lot more so they did things in the national interest rather than maybe through party orthodoxy or ideology. but the debate on this is really now going to strengthen because in the manifesto, the conservative party does say and this was admittedly pre—covid—19 but it did say levels of taxation would not be raised and i think there is a real debate around the kind of party and the cou nty around the kind of party and the county government it is. it has been very active and interventionist of late. the more traditional conservative thinking is certainly from the backbenchers are very much small state, lower taxes, free market so where do we end up in terms of government direction? and i think people are supportive now because it is such a person at a time but going forward particularly
10:45 pm
when this has to be paid back you have to go back to sustainable financial situations. this is one to watch. how is the economy in germany doing? how is it reacting to the pandemic and is it stabilising? what is going on there? obviously also very much affected by covenantee and no country in the world will not be hit by this scan —— pandemic. germany was in the deepest recession since the second world war and it is not as bad as it's protected in the uk but it is around 6% and an implement will also rise. what i do see in the difference of how the government is reacting is yes, there was a lot of furlough schemes and they are also partly still running. but meanwhile i think three or four weeks ago the german government was able
