by congress over claims they're stifling competition. the hearing follows a year—long investigation into market dominance. dr anthony fauci, a leading member of the white house coronavirus task force, has told the bbc that hydroxychloroquine is not effective against the coronavirus. president trump has again defended the use of the malaria drug to ward off the virus. the debate over quarantine measures for travellers to the uk has intensified with the spanish government putting more pressure on britain to rethink its policy on journeys to and from spain. the us department of homeland security says federal agents will be withdrawn from oregon's largest city, portland. but dozens of federal agents will be sent to three more cities as part of president trump's operation legend programme to combat violent crime.

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. before we get to the chat, let's look at some of tomorrow's front pages. the telegraph reports the 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. the front page of the times also talks of the new self—isolation rules, saying the government's chief scientific adviser believes the uk could be just two to three weeks behind spain. 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 sun focusses on the investigation into the disappearance of madeleine mccann, as german police discover a "secret" cellar on an allotment where their main suspect is alleged to have lived. the metro too looks at the police probe on the outskirts of hanover. the suspect christian b lived off the grid there around the time maddie went missing. so let's begin. it's good to have both of you with us, daisy and matt. we will start with the financial times. photo of

four men, for extremely powerful and wealthy men, i should say, who were grilled on capitol hill in washington, dc today. the bosses of four of america's biggest tech groups. daisy, why were they being grilled today? it's been an ongoing congressional hearing going on for more than a year they gather evidence. not necessarily against the tech bosses, but obviously there is pretty much huge amounts of, as they try to ascertain whether the power that these four companies in particular have is out of control, is too much of a monopoly, is damaging consumers. certainly, most of their questions today were coming from that. it was quite a disorganised event. a lot of them talking over each other and interrupting each other. another thing notable about it as far as the

orchestra was concerned was how these four tech giants whose combined company ‘s wealth is about $5 trillion. overall being zoomed in on whatever platform they were on, but they were giving evidence remotely, so they didn't have that familiar picture of standing up to tell the truth. which is such a powerful part of those congressional hearings because it immediately puts the weakness of the person being asked the questions at a disadvantage. they look quite weak as if they are somehow guilty. so it's the optics. and then of course the whole thing being done with the background of coronavirus and how that has even more enhanced the wealth and the influence of these tech giants. look at us right now. we're all working in this new way, and they are benefiting from it. both from influence and financial point of view. i think it's gone

from 30 to 300 million users in a matter of weeks. we're all wishing we we re matter of weeks. we're all wishing we were founders of zoom right now. matt, the hearing hasjust finished. it was the first time we saw someone likejeff it was the first time we saw someone like jeff pazo it was the first time we saw someone likejeff pazo ‘s who runs an amazon jeff bezos. how do you think they did when they are faced with those questions? i think they would have relished this opportunity. they were given this global platform to defend what has been against big tech firms for the past few years. fake news stirrers on social media, and newspapers across the uk and america and across europe have really taken chunks out of these big tech firms

facebook and twitter, especially for failure to take down post with myths. i think they will be quite happy with that is not being able to give it up platform —— we provide a millionjobs across give it up platform —— we provide a million jobs across america. not stifle them, that was their argument. what was interesting to see was what shot up during and after the hearing. i see was what shot up during and afterthe hearing. ithink see was what shot up during and after the hearing. i think they will probably be quite pleased. that's very interesting, i did know that. just before he move on, daisy, a quote. there was a lot of tough questioning from democrats and republicans in that hearing. there's a quote here from one democratic congressman saying that these companies, their practices discourage entrepreneurship, destroy

jobs and degrade quality. what was the line of questioning like today? i think one of the problems with this investigation is that these companies, yes, they all cumbered of —— come under the broad umbrella of tech companies, but what they do within the world of technology is very different. some are all about advertising, some are all about apps. some are all about selling literal products like amazon. so it's very difficult for these questions to be really focused when the companies are so different. i do think that's a problem with the overall approach of the committee. certainly, there were some very tough questions, but again, some of it veered far too far i think into party politics. the democrats who we re party politics. the democrats who were saying, companies like facebook are the ones that are involved more. it's all about fake news and they're skewing the news towards a

republican agenda, and the republicans saying there's a huge liberal bias within these tech companies, and their anti—republican. i do think congress members made it a bit too much about them rather than about ordinary people, and as matt said, those companies were able to say look how manyjobs we create, look how much wealth we create, and google particularly was saying if it wasn't for the size of our company, we wouldn't be able to do the research and the inventions supporting inventors into things like d riverless ca rs inventors into things like driverless cars and green economy. i do think they put up a pretty good defence, but don't forget how much time and money has been put into preparing these four men for their day in the sun today. millions of dollars when you look at the

lobbying, the lawyers, the politics, the preparing, they've all individually phoned every member of the committee. the lobbying in washington isn't something that we might use to hear. they've had to set their zoom background perfectly as well. let's move on. matt, your newspaper is leading on the story. it's the story that police hunting for madeleine mccann had dug up a hidden cellar at l lot near the prime suspect once lived. this is a story that's been going on for a long time. she's been missing for a long time. she's been missing for a long time. she's been missing for a long time. why does this still lead newspapers like yours? because there is no answer to what was such a tragic story, and there's been so many leads, false leads. i think it's a story of desperation of parents, a tragic loss. they haven't

been given answers. i think everyone can sort of... no one can understand that pain, but everyone has sympathy with two parents who are morning for 13 years. they've been given so many false hopes, and this today, some really credible pictures to see the police digging up this rubble in north germany. 1800 miles away from where madeleine mccann disappeared into thousand seven. from the prime spot —— suspect who allegedly on this lot and had this secret cellar. i think the days ahead are going to be either revolutionary to find further leads and hopefully find and into this horrible story, or the false hope will go on and there will just be another story on the newspapers. it's alleged he lived there. daisy, let me bring you when.

i think as matt said, the thing about the story is it's not finished. a lot of crimes are unsold. what makes this one special is it to get so much attention at the beginning, so it felt as if the whole country was holding its breath waiting to know what had happened to madeleine. there were also very, very horrible conspiracy theories about the parents. everybody had an opinion about this story and about what the parents had done, whether they been responsible, so once people are invested in a story like that and also, there were accusations that she wasn't so pretty, so white, but i was a journalist at that time. there was that element of it. it also was a story that broke in the summer, and just being completely practical, there wasn't a lot of other news around and so it became this

snowball of a story that took over the nation. then itjust carried on and every year, there would be some small change in the investigation. now hopefully, we'll get some sort, oi’ now hopefully, we'll get some sort, or the family will get some sort of closure. indeed. let's hope this is a significant development. matt, let's move on to a story on some of the front pages. we will look at the daily telegraph's version of it. the new head of mi six. new c is tweeting former ambassador. he is an active user of twitter. it's saying here that he could be the first intelligence chief with a social media presence. . ifind this

fascinating. his many hobbies include collecting carpets from turkey. his wife maggie, she's blind, and when they were living in turkey, she found out that her guide dog was the only such dog in the country. so she set up a charity to try and help other blind people in turkey. as you say, many of the first modern... maybe the next james bond will, let's find out. indeed. daisy, just looking at the financial times right up, you might be —— he might bea times right up, you might be —— he might be a social media user, but he isa might be a social media user, but he is a conventional background. the

study at oxford and harvard, also held posting in vietnam and malaysia. not really a break from what we see usually. that job has never been held by a woman. i think lots of people were hoping that this might be the first female contender for thatjob. in fact, the whole favour for that job was for thatjob. in fact, the whole favour for thatjob was not mr moore. it was douglas heard's son, a contemporary of board, boris johnson. many people thought he would be issued for thejob. i guess he would have been even more traditional than mr moore. matt mentioned twitter and the fact that it's been brought up that he is a social media profile. i was very amused looking at twitters to see that roger moore was trending. this was because you would've thought that roger moore would have been made head of mi6. there was a lot of

twitter confusion there, people using the story to dig up fantastical stories about roger moore and what a catch and funny person he was. i also agree with matt. i think this story about his wife and the guide dogs does show another side, and i think he was born in the far east, so quite an interesting background but still traditional. i shouldjust interesting background but still traditional. i should just say that we we re traditional. i should just say that we were looking on twitter earlier and he's been actively liking people's tweets congratulating him. i wonder if that means it's an easier way to access him. let's see. i don't follow him yet, but maybe both of you do. very quickly, what do you think the biggest challenges are for him in this role please very much onto the threat posed by

packers who are acting indirectly for the russian and chinese governments. we heard over the last two we e ks governments. we heard over the last two weeks how they try to hack into software to find out how we are developing coronavirus vaccines. china, russia and iran will be the top three. let's move onto the front page the times. it's also on the telegraph. tough new isolation rules to stop virus surge. a sickly deadline there. —— the headline there is people were told to isolate for ten days instead of seven days, that's the story we've also confirmed here at the bbc. what do you make of that? of course the trick and all of this is actually getting people to do it rather than coming out with new advice, and we know the track and trace systems

have not been working very well. we know that not all people were isolating for seven days. as we were talking about an hour ago, a lot of people who are being cavalier about social distancing or isolating, whatever it might be, is the younger generation. it will be critical to get through to them, particularly people who are out and about more in their daily life and therefore might be infecting more people. let's say the elderly, who don't have to go two very busy paces or crowded places as much. that's really going to be the trick. i do think there is a danger with everybody talking about a second wave, because most of the scientist, i think all of the scientists have warned against using that language. this is perhaps a spike, a sombrero as the prime minister called it, but a wave does imply something much larger than we are being faced with. the prime

minister is clearly determined to stamp on it and anyway he can. on the hand, they‘ re stamp on it and anyway he can. on the hand, they're also saying that this two week quarantine that you arejust this two week quarantine that you are just reporting will probably come in, that might be reduced to maybe eight days or seven days, which has a big economic impact for people who can't work from home and therefore will be losing a lot of money if they suddenly have that quarantine and forced upon them. there are a lot of different balls being juggled in the air on this. i'm going to bring matt in. the daily express front page picks up the daily express front page picks up on what you're saying. boris johnson has pledged an attack to avert a catastrophic effect second wave of covid. what does this story tell us about the prime minister's approach? i think this tells us that borisjohnson is approach? i think this tells us that boris johnson is determined approach? i think this tells us that borisjohnson is determined to learn the lessons of when we went into

lockdown. in that monday meeting the scientific adviser was very clear that we must move fast. we must make sure that we don't make the same mistake. back in february and march, we acted very slowly in terms of shutting down countries. back in february and march, so this explains why they've acted so fast and boris johnson is quoting, that we need to act fast this time to make sure that we don't make the same mistakes. i think one of the reasons why they're going to the long isolation period of ten days is emergent evidence from the world health organisation. yet another change of advice from government, but let's face it. this is still a very new and recent virus that we're still running from, and the experts are still learning as

well. maybe sometimes we need to cut the governments across the world a bit of slack. change of subject completely. bbc failing to create water cooler moment. what do they mean? the papers are always a water cooler moment. what do you make of the story? this is important, and we all know the bbc loves a report, and i speak as someone know the bbc loves a report, and i speak as someone who used to work at the bbc, not being unkind. it's kind of stating the obvious. it saying that younger viewers or consumers of drama or television, they get most nearly all of it from netflix or youtube and not through bbc. particularly, the younger generation don't have much respect for the bbc. the answer seems to be to have a bigger social media profile. i personally don't think that would help. i think if you have the right

programme, you will get the buzz around the younger generation who are so around the younger generation who are so valuable for broadcasters. i just worry that this is another well—meaning, very expensive, slightly waste of time in the form ofa slightly waste of time in the form of a bbc report. may be the head of mi6 might have a view on this. very quickly matt, what's your take? mi6 might have a view on this. very quickly matt, what's your take ?|j agree with daisy because i think it's more about the programmes. people showed —— programmes show that young people can get into bbc dramas, about topics we don't often talk about or see on our screens. i think it depends on the programme with a production rather than the platform. it depends on the programme and the production. it was a fantastic half—hour with both of you. it was great to have both of

you. it was great to have both of you with us, daisy and matt. i should have said that was not a bbc article. that's it for the papers tonight, and for joining article. that's it for the papers tonight, and forjoining us. goodbye. hello, i'm sarah mulkerrins and this is sport today live from the bbc sport centre. the chief executive of olympic sports have been responding to the recent allegation of abuse in british gymnastics. it upsets me. they're disturbing allegations, but i fundamentally believe that the vast majority of people that work in

british sport at the elite and are doing the right thing and have athletes interest and welfare at their heart. i really, really believe that. but there is no room for the behaviour that's been described in some of those allegations in british sport, and allegations in british sport, and all of us in british sport have got to ta ke all of us in british sport have got to take a responsibility in making sure that people who behave like that are not welcome. like in everyday life, there are people who don't behave to the standards that i. don't behave to the standards that i, you others would want to see, and forgets its share of those people that come into our world. what we need to be collectively mooring forward is route those people out. if you are not confident with british gymnastics and its commitment to improve athlete welfare , commitment to improve athlete welfare, you prepared to cut its funding? the measured open to us with any sport is to put conditions in their reward they have to meet and ultimately, if they don't meet

them, remove their funding. how would you describe the level of diversity in sports boardrooms currently? nowhere it needs to be up. the level of diversity across boards in sport needs to be improved. there's no hiding from that, but we are committed to having a sporting system, and we want over the next decade to ensure we have a supporting system at all levels, not just the board room. athletes, coaches, managers, all of us. that reflects society. that's what we want. one match away from promotion to the premier league. they trailed 1-0 to the premier league. they trailed i—0 in the opening 15 minutes. to the premier league. they trailed 1—0 in the opening 15 minutes. all the watkins giving them a 2—1 lead. they made it three after the break

hamilton called the decision ridiculous. you care about your health and and are taking it seriously. i know how they feel. i feel a bit strange walking into a room with ten people i don't know. i totally respect where he's coming from. people want crowds, they want to get back to normal, he has a choice, he doesn't have to lay. i have a choice to. last weekend, but cricket began the first port to welcome back fans, but for england was not cricketers they will continue to play behind close doors against pakistan. they have an unnamed 1a man squad. england haven't included any of the test players in the squad. it will be their first players in the squad. it will be theirfirst home players in the squad. it will be their first home odi players in the squad. it will be theirfirst home odi since players in the squad. it will be their first home odi since beating new zealand in the world cup final lastjuly.

new zealand in the world cup final last july. it's a start of a new journey in many ways. i think throughout the whole winter, we've given guys opportunity and looking towards the next world cup with the one most recently being postponed until next year. our preparation now moves towards that, and with the restrictions that covid have now had on different formats of the game, it does present other opportunities for young guys to come in and state theirclaim, both young guys to come in and state their claim, both for the open coming to world cup 's but also the world cup in four years time. that is all the support from us for now. goodbye. —— the sport. it could be quite hot on the last day ofjuly. that means it will be the hottest day of the year so far. we start this morning off on a rather grey, cloudy

day. that rain moving northwards and becoming combined to scotland later in the day. brightening up for northern ireland in northern england. cooler across the far north. temperatures into the mid to upper 20s celsius. we tap into some very warm airfrom upper 20s celsius. we tap into some very warm air from the mutineer continent for friday —— near continent. we will see a band of rain and maybe thunderstorms moving to westerly parts of the country. maybe a thunderstorm further east and very high temperatures. high 20s, low to mid 30s for the midlands and the southeast. it's a short—lived warmer spell it that turned cooler.

this is bbc news. i'm rajini vaidyanathan with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. tech titans in tiny boxes. four of the biggest names in technology get a grilling at a congressional hearing over claims they're stifling competition. in a bbc interview, the expert leading us efforts to contain the coronavirus warns against politicising the pandemic. there is a considerable degree of political divisiveness to a level that everyone admits you don't need me to make that declaration. the debate over quarantine measures for travellers to the uk intensifies, spain puts more pressure on
