hello. this is bbc news with me, martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines — "on the edge of losing control" of coronavirus — a warning from one leading scientist as more than 3000 uk cases are recorded for a second day. this is still a very widely distributed infection. it's crossed the whole of the uk. and by every measure, the numbers are going up. oxford university and astrazeneca restart clinical trials of their coronavirus vaccine, which was halted after a volunteer fell ill. sir terence conran, the designer and habitat founder who revolutionised british decor and dining, has died aged 88. a new trial to reduce pollution levels will cut the speed limit to 60 mph on four sections of motorway in england.

hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster and psychotherapist lucy beresford and john rentoul, the chief political commentator at the independent. i sent to some homework an hour ago andi i sent to some homework an hour ago and i hope they have been away and done there research or look to cupboards at least. we will get to that in a minute. first, a look at tomorrow's front pages. let's start with the sunday times. it splashes on leaked documents that suggest coronavirus is once again spreading through care homes. the observer says that some of the country's top lawyers have criticised the attorney general for destroying the uk's reputation as the row over brexit continues. brexit is on the front page of the sunday telegraph, too. the newspaper says the prime minister risks another row with the eu with plans to opt out of parts of european human rights laws.

the sunday express carries an interview with borisjohnson in which he vows to radically overhaul jail sentences. the mail on sunday urges an end to the covid restrictions which have seen thousands of women forced to endure labour alone. the sunday mirror reports that ufc star conor mcgregor was taken into custody in corsica on suspicion of attempted sexual assault and indecent exposure, and was released without being charged. and the independent carries a picture of sir terence conran, the british designer who revolutionised retail and decor, who has died at the age of 88. we should pay a little tribute to him ina we should pay a little tribute to him in a minute. so, let's begin. in the observer, top lawyers slam the ministerfor in the observer, top lawyers slam the minister for wrecking the in the observer, top lawyers slam the ministerfor wrecking the uk reputation. this is the attorney general who is under fire. it is not herfault. she is only doing general who is under fire. it is not her fault. she is only doing what the prime minister told her to. so they really ought to be having a go

at borisjohnson. they really ought to be having a go at boris johnson. it they really ought to be having a go at borisjohnson. it is surprising slightly that he has not actually yet said anything directly in public in defence of his position. he wrote an article in the papers this morning. but he has not actually been out there, so he leaves it to the attorney general to defendant. and he ought to defendant himself. it is catastrophic for this country positive reputation in the world as these senior lawyers said to break an international treaty which boris johnson only signed injanuary. an international treaty which boris johnson only signed in januarym has to be said that there are two former prime ministers admittedly remain supporters who are very unhappy about this internal market bill. this is tony blair and sir john major i'm talking about. are

they on picking the agreement in this way could risk the good friday agreement and stability on the island of ireland. yes, that is their argument. the interesting thing about this particular episode is that what people say about it tends to reflect their political leaningsjust as tends to reflect their political leanings just as much as their legal perspective. so for example there have been qcs writing this weekend talking about how the actual laying of this bill in front of parliament oi'i of this bill in front of parliament on monday does not actually break international law. and if it does get passed by the legislature of the uk, then obviously that would be a sovereign act by our parliament. and you would not want to undermine that because that was the whole point of brexit. so all along you have got these competing factions as you say, tony blair and these competing factions as you say,

tony blairand sir these competing factions as you say, tony blair and sir john these competing factions as you say, tony blair and sirjohn major, really wedded to the good friday agreement. that was something that they both worked so hard to bring about. they said this particular scenario assuming that would jeopardise that but if you speak to other people and especially people who are remain supporters, they have a different view. having said which, lord howard, he was an ardent brakes in but also thinks the object of this are quite shabby. let's stay with you for a second because the sunday telegraph also looks at a legal story on its front page. johnson set to opt out of human rights laws. why does he want to do that? interesting thing about this is that it is actually the case for many months and in fact the idea that the conservatives would try to overhaul the human rights act and review our attachment to the european court of human rights was

actually in their manifesto in 2019. and the telegraph flagged up in february the fact that boris johnson was quite keen to review this. at the moment, there are a number of cases that have left the government feeling very dissatisfied with the european court of human rights. but this... and those would be things like being able to send migrants back, being able to deport dangerous criminals and also to be able to deal with some of the cases that are brought many years later against members of our troops. as long ago as earlier this year in february, we lost a case against the european court of human rights which was to do with the police in northern ireland using the innate data. it was from a bully at that moment that borisjohnson said this is

ridiculous. we cannot actually do similar things we want to do. so it's a like it's a new story. but because it is coming at the same time as all this debate around the withdrawal agreement, it looks like that we are just in constant friction with the eu. the sunday times now, the virus cases in care homes spiral again. the health secretary admitting that residents are at risk. this was a scandal when it happened last time. very important story actually, because i was writing for the independent about the resurgence of cases recently. and i did think that it was odd that we had not really heard much about what was going on in care homes. i sort of assumed that that problem had been solved. and here

comes a leak document suggesting that it has not and that cases are going up even in care homes. it has to be said it is mostly amongst staff of the moment in care homes but obviously that is going to be a risk to residents as well. the point was made that lots of care homes and workers working in lots of different ca re workers working in lots of different care homes and unwittingly and unintentionally might be carrying it from one place to another. yes, sadly this could again be one of those casualties of the inadequate functioning of our test and tray syste m functioning of our test and tray system because as you say there are people who are perhaps moving around between care homes. they may be symptom—free with that does not actually mean that they are covid—19 free and in fact there was a study out this weekend, a paper from the imperial college, which was a

showing that fully 55% of people that they tested had a note... and who showed positive had no symptoms at swabbing over the previous seven days. —— 65%. some have to be really careful because of the people who are actually in the care homes are obviously very vulnerable. it is tricky because so many care homes are also run privately so it is really ha rd are also run privately so it is really hard to lay the blame completely at the door of the government. but i think it isjust one of those things are we are going to have to remember that the virus has not gone away, can be pretty lethal for people in certain sections of society and therefore all of this, if there is a cavalier approach to things like wearing masks or gloves, this is moment will be at the start getting this in order. you hopejust be at the start getting this in order. you hope just at this time the ppe that was so lucky for care homes might be available. yes, and the testing that was promised, the weekly testing of care home staff. which does seem to be obviously a

lot better than it was at the start of the epidemic but it is still not as good as it ought to be. that is of course a cause for concern. let's look at the independent and the main picture story is death of a master of design this is sir terence conran who founded the habitat store and do that as i museum i also opened a lot of restau ra nts that as i museum i also opened a lot of restaurants as well. he has not at the age of 88. one hour ago, you let me down terribly and i hate to say it, but i asked you if you have anything that would have been designed by sir terence conran. i asked you to go away and look in your cupboards and see if you could find anything. lucy, did you find anything? i did. i don't know ifi can lifted up here, this chopping board. so this is from the branch in tottenham court road 40 years ago.

and it was my mother's prized possession so obviously i got it. that is my sir terence conran heirloom. these are used pretty much every day but it is quite cute. it's very nice indeed. john. it must've been about 40 years ago. i was in the habitat on tottenham court road andi the habitat on tottenham court road and i genuinely cannot remember what on earth i was going therefore. all i could find, and i have ransacked the house, all i could find is a desk lamp. 0ne the house, all i could find is a desk lamp. one of those sort of adjustable cantilever once. angle poise. angle poise, that's it! i don't know if that is at the habitat. we will say that is because we don't want to embarrass you, do we? it is very nice. it is quite heavy but i did not bring it in here. helena wilkinson, lovely

couege here. helena wilkinson, lovely college has let me know that she has got a college has let me know that she has gota sir college has let me know that she has got a sir terence conran colander. sue has put a load of photos of half the contents of her house with the looks of things that all came from sir terence conran crockery and cutlery and even assigned a cookery book. antoni has a mesh chairfrom the 80s which is likeable but he meant to say uncomfortable. —— collectible which is collectible. the point is this is a man who made such an impression on how we look at design in this country. yes, his theory was that good design improves theory was that good design improves the quality of people's lives, but it does. it makes you feel great about your surroundings. it stops things being utilitarian. it gives you pleasure. ithink things being utilitarian. it gives you pleasure. i think also in particular about restaurants because in the old days, if you wanted a treat, you had to go to the tutor road injury and that tells you all you need to know. but suddenly there

we re you need to know. but suddenly there were amazing restaurants where it was theatrical to even just arrive and gave you a sense of theatre. and of course the amazing food on the plate. he works very closely with antonio carly show who was for a time married to his sister when they set up meals in the restaurants. they revolutionised will be thought about not just food they revolutionised will be thought about notjust food but british food because up until then we thought it was pretty rubbish. and it was pretty rubbish but now suddenly i think we lead the world and that is because of his designs in the restaurants but also the food that we nt restaurants but also the food that went on the plate. thank you. from the sublime to the ridiculous, john, not you but the story on the sunday times. would you adopt an 87—year—old misogynist who squawks? what is this was met briefly for both of you if you would. about pa rents both of you if you would. about parents people getting rid of pa rents parents people getting rid of parents during lockdown because they are annoying people who try to work at home. by parroting away. and

a p pa re ntly at home. by parroting away. and apparently there is a very old one, 87 years old but who only wants a male owner to look after it. that was interesting to me. some parents form a very secure attachments to either a man or woman and they don't like the alternative. yes, john who dreamt up the attachment theory for children would love this. but it dripped jet —— depends on the gender that the parent originally attaches to and they live so much longer than human beings do —— the parent. they become very picky about who they wa nt become very picky about who they want to attach to nationals of that for the sport 87—year—old is holding out for a male parrot fancier. one that does not mind being interrupted ona that does not mind being interrupted on a regular basis by the sounds of it. that is it for the papers tonight. lucy, john, you have redeemed yourself by going rummaging in your cupboards. thank you so much. lovely to see your both. that

is it for the paper but do about a paper in the morning won't you? for a review coming up next, night hello, and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode, rounding up the best movies available for viewing in cinemas and in the home. when times are tough, people often look to the movies to lift their spirits, and what better way to do that than with a romcom — like new release the broken hearts gallery? what?
