or get hold of it. the whole point was finding new sources of supply. but in this urgent period, vast sums of public money weere spent quickly on critical kit. and now the question is whether it was all spent in the right way. in stoke—on—trent, reliance medical already supplies the nhs with health care products. it has a factory in china, making face masks, and says it offered ppe to the government, but had little response. now it exports masks to other countries. it is strange. some of the companies that have been chosen to do some of these things, who have got no experience. we've got a wealth of experience and we weren't asked. it is frustrating. you feel that you could have helped, and there's a lot you could have done, and you didn't get that opportunity. the government says crucial equipment was delivered, with safeguards, the process open and competitive. some, though, want to check the systems, not least because demand, like this virus, could surge again. alex forsyth, bbc news.

new research published tonight has revealed the origin of stonehenge‘s giant upright stones. scientists have long been confident that the small, "blue" horizontal stones were brought from west wales, but the origin of the vertical stones has been a mystery until now. the findings were published in thejournal science, and our correspondent, duncan kennedy, picks up the story. it's stood here for nearly 5000 years, but where did the stones of stonehenge come from? we've known the small blue stones here came from wales, but what about the other 52 massive sarcen stones? well, now, finally, we have the answer. it's 15 miles away from stonehenge, at a place called west woods in wiltshire. sarcen stones can still be seen scattered around. experts say it's here the builders of stonehenge came. it's really exciting to know that west woods is the source of the sarcens for stonehenge,

because first of all it gives us that focus, it gives us that answer, but secondly it also means we can do some more work. we know where to come now. this story starts in 1958, and an engineer called robert phillips, on the left, here. he was given a stone rod from a sarcen during repairs, which he then took to florida, where he started a new life. two years ago, aged 89, he decided to give the rod back to stonehenge. that allowed chemical tests to be carried out and pinpoint where the stones came from. i think he would have been delighted to know that, through his husbandry of this important artefact, that it's been able to be used to make this great discovery and pinpoint the location of where these stones have come from. finding the source of the sarcens has been a goal of archaeologists for centuries. until now, it was thought that the sarcens of stonehenge could have come from anywhere between devon and norfolk.

the fact they've now pinpointed it to this one location in wiltshire is a major scientific and archaeological achievement. when i was told the news, i was really, really excited. kind of shaking. you know, it's one of those moments where you know something that people have been asking questions about for so long, and we finally got an answer. an answer thanks to a stone rod kept as an office souvenir has now rewritten our knowledge of this pre—eminent, prehistoric monument. duncan kennedy, bbc news, stonehenge. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. welcome to bbc news. time for us to take a look at the national and international look at the pages eight papers.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster daisy mcandrew and the deputy political editor of the sun matt dathan. tomorrow's front pages. starting with. the telegraph reports the uk government is set to announce the isolation period for people with coronavirus symptoms will increase to ten days amid fears of a second wave but the travel quarantine could be reduced. meanwhile the i reiterates the warnings made by travel chiefs today as they call on the uk government to move away from the 14—day quarantine policy to help save the industry. the daily mail writes thatjust one in ten people are having face to face appointments with their gp

at a surgery despite a government pledge to get the nhs back to normal. the financial times looks at the grilling of the world's top tech bosses on capitol hill earlier. the metro focusses on the investigation into the disappearance of madeleine mccann — as german police discover a secret cellar on an allotment where their main suspect used to live. the japan times reports on pressure on the government to ban a state visit of the chinese leader xi jinping — after it was postponed due to the pandemic. and singapore's straits times looks into a rise in unemployment by nearly 3% — the highest injust over a decade. so, let's begin... it's very good to have you with us. daisy and matt. 0f it's very good to have you with us. daisy and matt. of course we've had some of the papers and so far. let's kick off. let's start with the financial times. the headline they are, the picture of bar of the richest and most powerful people in the world all happen to be men. tech

titans, bosses grilled on capitol hill. daisy, how significant is this? well, it's certainly much anticipated to use that old cliche. in other words people like you, people like me, people like matt we re people like me, people like matt were all sort of rubbing our hands together and this will be a humdinger. this is the antitrust committee. 0ver humdinger. this is the antitrust committee. over in american politics. which has wanted to call all these big tech bosses for years. and they finally got them into one room or rather a lot was done remotely, of course. but when you consider as you said they've got that sort of rogues gallery, when you consider the combined wealth of those individual companies of those born then lead it is quite extraordinary. this is a point that many politicians have been making for a long time. if you wield that much financial influence and power and you are not an elected politician, who does control you and

what you do? and who does poses questions? a lot of questions were asked of them today. some of the republicans were accusing some of the tech giants of being pro—democratic. very internal party politics going on. and serious questions about the methods that they use about gobbling up other companies will not all that competition and so on. i was just reminding myself, the size of some of these companies. if you look at amazon earned last year or £280 billion. that's more than the gdp of pakistan. i do think when you look at figures like that it does put it into some sort of perspective of the influence these men wield. into some sort of perspective of the influence these men wieldm into some sort of perspective of the influence these men wield. it is quite in court to eight incredible. isn't it matt? 0ur lives are touched by these for companies in every way every day. daisy touched on some of the grilling that they got in this congressional committee. there's a quote on the front of the ft from one congressman who said that, these

practices of these for companies discourage entrepreneurship, destroy jobs, hike costs and degraded quality. they also good think some do there? i think today we start to bury stark stories, really. as you say the commerce meant almost dark and evil as if they were forces of evil. notjust and evil as if they were forces of evil. not just rivals and evil as if they were forces of evil. notjust rivals but also consumers. this is also apple, facebook, microsoft and google to lay out their own pr in their own case. they were actually claiming the opposite. they were saying that they are the example he flew back example of uniquely american success story. we provide 1 millionjobs across america and we actual enable small and medium businesses to flourish and start out. facebook for example is what many businesses over

here in the uk used to promote their goods and services. rather than having a website. today we saw two very different stories. i think this inquiry is always plan in the coronavirus asjust inquiry is always plan in the coronavirus as just shone a light on how important it is to hold these powerful bosses to account. because the amount of scare stories in the amount of fake news about coronavirus and all because of things from cures and myths about vaccinesjust shows things from cures and myths about vaccines just shows you how important it is to hear from them. daisy, obviously, there are two sides to this. they do a lot of good. the concern we saw today in washington is that they've taken that power way too far compared. competitors don't get a look at some of the questioning that we've heard his wealth was up this is all about bringing in controls, antitrust legislation, what do you think may come out of this after these hearings? i thinkjust before we think about what comes out of it

it's quite interesting to think about how we got to where we are now. i suspect matt would agree with me, one of the problems when you get tech entrepreneurs and tech giants as you have in this case versus politicians you do have the new world and the old world. notjust because politicians tend to be literally older but theyjust come from a very different background. eight size tech background versus a more traditional, political power wielding background. for many, many yea rs wielding background. for many, many years there has been a head of steam with those two worlds worlds collide in. my experience of the last 20 yea rs in. my experience of the last 20 years is that many, not all but many, years is that many, not all but any years is that many, not all but many, many politicians whether they're american or reddish or anything else simply don't get the tech a phenomenon. and they very often don't understand the weight that peoples lives are touched by it these days. they do seem to be or they appeared to be quite out of touch. this sort of confrontation has been coming for a very long time. of course when you look at the

truth of who wield more power it is on the whole, certainly these bosses of tech companies and many more of them who are much more duty at the lease for. will do an awful lot more power than those politicians. there is always good to be that clash and that wondering of how politicians can control this beast that they really can't. talk about a sign of oui’ really can't. talk about a sign of our times. we are on zoom or whatever, a platform that they used which is a definitely a sign of our times and technology. what do you think might come out of this, matt? they also have very differing, politicians and tech bosses i have very different interests. we saw with huawei didn't wait that their primary concern and governments primary concern and governments primary concern and governments primary concern is national security. and also protecting consumers were obviously, ceo of what of these companies you want to concern that privacy of the company.

i think it's really good to see the top of those companies come in and face politicians. and it would be nice actually to see that across the world and possibly here in the uk. the uk parliament has been trying to get mark zuckerberg over to face mps here. maybe hopefully it is a start of them being a bit more accountable not collectible. i'm going to stay with you matt, the front page of the sun, mattie secrets ellen found. it's a story saying german police have dug up a secret cellar used by the prime suspect of this ongoing case. it's alleged that he lived in the cellar in germany. this is front page on the metro as well, i believe. do readers still follow this case very closely? is that why this case very closely? is that why this is being splashed again? sadly, in sucha this is being splashed again? sadly, in such a tragic story but it really

in the uk really sees the attention of the attack nation. not just the uk but i think across europe as well. i think any clues that might lead to an answer to such a mystical story, such a tragic story, good for us. the sun is definitely of still interest. this story is incredible just to see the pictures of the rubble being carted off by police in germany. from an allotment. hundreds of miles away from where madeleine mccann was disappeared from in portugal. it's an astonishing story andl portugal. it's an astonishing story and i think, let's hope there's some good news at the end of it if there is any good news in this story. indeed. daisy? i think is any good news in this story. indeed. daisy? ithink your is any good news in this story. indeed. daisy? i think your question was really relevant of, why is this story, why does it still had power, why is it still seemed to be newsworthy? when it was a very long time ago. it was one tragic story

about one family. as matt said, it really did capture the imagination and the hearts of the nation. i assumed it would only be people of my generation who can remember the case would be interested in that. i've been stunned at my kids generations who are young teenagers also know all about madeleine mccann. and they are as equally fascinated by the story and want to know the ending of the story. of course, over the years there's been a lot of criticism that the reason people, newspapers and journalists concentrated so much, gave it so much airtime concentrated so much, gave it so much air time was because she was a beautiful young white middle—class girl. many people said if she hadn't come for that background she wouldn't have got the attention she got. i thinks a is a valid conversation to have but i think that hope to eight hope that would be the case now. she still does hold that power i'm afraid to sell newspapers. she is still newsworthy. people are desperate to conclusion to this story, i think. we've only

got the front page of life can't see the full story on pages for and five but how significant does your newspaper think this breakthrough might be? well, i think it's hard for all newspapers to answer that question before, the german police actually find anything. i think we will have to wait until tomorrow if not the next few days to see if they find anything. just the fact that they found the seller allegedly owned by the suspect is hugely significant break through. at least we will will hopefully give us the answer to whether the suspect is the suspect. also just remind you how coordinated the police operation has been across europe on this one as well. let's move on to the daily telegraph. quite a significant headline here. isolation for covid—i9 to increase by three days. the 10—day lockdown for
