amid a mounting economic war between london and beijing. the sunday mirror carries a picture of princess beatrice on her wedding day — but questions the whereabouts of her father, prince andrew. photos of princess beatrice‘s big day also make the front page of the scottish mail on sunday. but the paper leads with a warning that scotland exam system is facing chaos, amid disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic. the sunday express says mps are warning that a report into alleged russian meddling in uk democracy, due to be published next week, mustn't be used to sabotage brexit. and, borisjohnson has ruled out another nationwide lockdown — that's according to an interview, given to the sunday telegraph. so, let's begin. princess beatrice, but no sign of her dad and that official photo. no sign of dad at all. dad is being

kept under wraps and really, since that disastrous interview he did in november of last year, it kept him away from the cameras and it is very sad for his daughter not able to have her dad in and they are beautiful pictures and there she is with the queen and the duke of edinburgh, 20 people allowed to be at the wedding and the whole thing was held at a covid—i9 secure way. very secure in the way of windsor castle but they are all over the papers. they are beautiful pictures but you cannot help but feel for her that she cannot have her dad in her wedding pictures. it would've been

remarked upon, penny, if he had been there in these official ones at least. he did walk her down the aisle and there was no hands, no well—wishers, they were supposed to get married in may but in london but the 150 guests and the duchess of york was there, it was a lot smaller than they were hoping for, to go and make captain tom moore acer, when did this happen? and at the end of the month —— a server. and i looked it up and i know, that
11:35 pm
is why we keep inviting you back. you add value. the chaos causes families to cancel holidays, months months people have to wait. and this is up to four months, they're saying in the whole point is that as soon as we shut down, there were all of these things that we did not know where to that have problems with. passports come up to four months because they have not got the 2000 people back in those who are working or going into the office and if the socially distance in their resisting at the moment and they've been asked to work until ten o'clock at night andl to work until ten o'clock at night and i think at the moment, it is 45 days and this is what there are some
11:36 pm
suggestions that there could be 45 days for the first passport and this is, the whole thing is a mess and was always going to be a mess because like so many government offices, everything got thrown up in the air. that is right and the fast track thing is used by a lot of business people who want to get travelling and want to be doing business again and it is a disaster for holiday—makers and it is a disaster for business travellers we re disaster for business travellers were literally trying to get trade moving again in the uk and other countries and particularly at this moment, the brexit handover period. but also, it is absolutely tragic for the travel and the airline
11:37 pm
sector. just reading yesterday, my favourite playing will fly no more, certainly on british airwaves colours and so it is very tough time for those who travel or try to take holiday. warning over exam chaos for many pupils. this is because people have not been able to set those exams and so it is all on assessments, isn't it? this is a very significant story from the scottish mail on sunday. and like all schools across the country, according exams has been an incredibly difficult thing to do. and on the outset they said that children will be marked on continuous assessment by their own
11:38 pm
teachers. according to this story, it suggests that's not going to happen at all and the exam body, but authority that is going to make an assessment and actually, it's going to make an assessment based on how the school generally performs, what has been its history of the past two yea rs. has been its history of the past two years. the scottish tories are making a point in the story that actually, there's just going to be a whole slew of appeals if the children do not get the marks of the expected of because the work is not being judged by their own teachers. and this is about the scottish system, which is different. examples in england, wales or northern ireland could be facing similar dilemmas. i know and again, i said earlier but your heart goes out to
11:39 pm
children who are leaving school at the moment and are hoping now to be going along to universities and going along to universities and going and having that fun time, maybe even thinking about a year and fiow maybe even thinking about a year and now they're being faced with this bleak future. i talked to a lot of 18 euros and they're just saying that they do not know what they're supposed to do. go to university, even though perhaps the first year we may not even go to any classes and we learn about the fun side of university, you make friends will end up as friends for life and in scotland, some of these marks are being given without anybody seeing any of this work. it is just ludicrous, isn't it? it's so sad. £50 a week on a loophole. this, 16
11:40 pm
to 17—year—olds, £47 million spent on gambling and scratch cards and instant when the online games and this is, it isjust a loophole because dh normally is 18 and for some reason, i did not do you get a scratch off at 16. and they are able to do it on this thing and treasure temple break get the pump and a half million pounds in the city need to raise the age to 18. they're doing this on the sly and over the last two months stuck at home. this on the sly and over the last two months stuck at homelj this on the sly and over the last two months stuck at home. i think mum and dad are going to be asking some questions as to where some of the money has been going. 47 million
11:41 pm
spent by 16 and 17—year—olds from two or three years ago and so, this is already going political and they got a quote in, camelot himself who i’u ns got a quote in, camelot himself who runs the lottery saying that now is the time to review how all of this stuff operates, certainly before the next operating licence, it is quite extraordinary that this loophole, no one spotted it until now. let us finish with the financial mail on sunday and mortgage if you had a loa n sunday and mortgage if you had a loan ona sunday and mortgage if you had a loan on a holiday, borrowers are saying that they find it difficult to get another mortgage. that is right. the mail on sunday will be

11:43 pm
this was going to happen but they received assurances that it would all be fine. and this is the problem, isn't it? as soon as we we re problem, isn't it? as soon as we were told that we could take this holiday and it would not affect anything in the future, there would've been people thinking thank goodness for that, because the stress of covid—19. obviously, the stress of covid—19. obviously, the stress of covid—19. obviously, the stress of catching the thing in the first place but the stress of your job not being there when you get backin job not being there when you get back in for a low happening and oh my goodness, that did not apply to everyone and you could be forgiven for thinking well, the government is telling us that this is ok and so you took the holiday and there'll be lots of people who feel duped by this and really not just worrying but extremely agreed that this is the banks who we bailed out, taxpayers bailed out and they haven't done this and lenders should actually be blind to all of those who took the holiday. that is it for
