story but it's really the story but it's really powerful front page of the metro. i want to show that if we have that available. the headline is blood money. it's the final tragic final pictures. it's really heartbreaking front page from the metro. in a really challenging, difficult issue focusing on here on how do you stop traffickers? absolutely. it the details i came out today that the family sold lots of their possessions to raise over £20,000 to pay for that journey. we possessions to raise over £20,000 to pay for thatjourney. we can't possibly imagine what those people we re possibly imagine what those people were going through. what would be going through their minds. what was their quality of life that they decided that that amount of money and that degree of risk, do they relate not, i suspect those people really don't understand what risk they are taking it up and what promises are made to those people do they think the vesicles are

particular a special? to they arrive and think they are not and then they're giving an excuse as to why they're giving an excuse as to why they're going and what they're going and compared to what they thought the boat may have looked at was that none of us will know. it is an absolutely heartbreaking story. one that will inevitably ignite the debate about what we are doing about those that are seeking asylum. how on earth we work extensively with friends in we still do not manage to sort this out after so many years. and so many deaths. completely unnecessary deaths. the channel is not a very nice piece of water. and to get in it, i've heard stories some of the details coming out traffickers charge extra for lifejackets. you realise you don't have any more money because you've given everything over and you're desperate you've got that far, you can't get that money back and then you realise you can't afford a life jacket either. it is terrible. and pictures of the young family, it is

just heartbreaking. could you take a wide view on this? what are the kind of political solutions to theirs that are being talked about? it seems a very difficult issue but there must be some ideas of options, alternatives to try and stop things like this happening. the problem of channel crossings is not a new problem. it's month that's been a severely difficult one for governments of both parties to try and solve. it's something that is quite politically toxic for home secretary. we saw the criticism of priti patel when she said at the conservative party conference this year that she intended to make it not possible for people who had entered the country illegally to claim asylum. that throws up all sorts of difficult challenges. it's not just people crossing

sorts of difficult challenges. it's notjust people crossing the channel who potentially entering illegally but it could be people who have got very very compelling stories. it's not an easy want to solve. no, of course it isn't. we will return to that issue, of course without let's head to the daily telegraph front page. ourfinal start to head to the daily telegraph front page. our final start to look at. we are going to look at, the final story if you can just about see that. bbc stars must declare their outside earnings. what is this about, joe? outside earnings. what is this about, joe? interesting. this story is basically suggesting it specifically says bbc stars as well. so presenters will be forced to disclose outside earnings. essentially on a public database. in a sense it's almost a bit like a declaration of interest. in the idea of that is in order to show there is a degree of bias because perhaps

individuals have received monies from other parties to do particular works. it could be presenting things. it could be a significant suit] things. it could be a significant suiti on things. it could be a significant sum on top of the significant salary for top this been a long—running saga about presenters are paid. and big concerns about those that had sort of, individual companies where their earnings with envy and run through there were also tax implications, tax dodging in the past. this is another story in the saga of what do we do about the bbc? the suggestion that things aren't quite right. again suggestions over the concerns of proper and how much people earn. we talked recently the highest urges were announced and a radio presenter was singled out as being the highest earner. and then made a decision to not be paid the full amount. this is essentially, also part of this move there's also

can be rules on what bbc presenters can be rules on what bbc presenters can put on twitter, for example. 50 social media use. it's about where they could be suggestions of bias. i'm afraid we will have to leave it there. thank you both very very much. that's it for the papers. if you're in the uk, jessica elgot and jo tanner will be back in just over half an hour to look at more of the stories being covered by newspapers and websites here. goodbye for now. good evening. what a night it's been for english teams in the champions league — two matches and two big wins. we're going to start with manchester united who thrashed rb leipzig 5—nil at old trafford. ole gunnar solskjaer‘s side took the lead through mason greenwood early on in the first half. but it was substitute

marcus rashford who stole the show in the second. he came off the bench on the hour mark opening his account on 7a minutes. before he smashed in a second to put united 3—nil ahead. anthony martial made it four from the penalty spot. before rashford completed his hat—trick in less than 20 minutes to hand united an emphatic win. chelsea followed up their matchdayi draw against sevilla by thrashing russian side krasnodar 4—0. callum hudson odoi opened the scoring, with some help from the goalkeeper. timo werner doubled the lead from the penalty spot before strikes from hakim ziyech on his first start and substitute christian pulisic rounded off a good night for frank lampards side. it's two wins out of two for barcelona in the champions league... they beatjuventus 2—0 in turin to go top of group g. ousman dembele opened the scoring in the fourteenth minute when his deflected shot looped over wojciech szczesny, juventus had merih demiral sent off late on,

before lionel messi wrapped up the win in stoppage time with a penalty. so here are the rest of the results from wednesday‘s champions league ties. wins for dortmund and psg but lazio could only draw in bruges. six matches in the championship this evening. bournemouth beat bristol city one nil to go second. millwall are up top fourth after a 2—nil win at preston luton and nottingham forest battled out a i—all draw at kenilworth road. glen rea scored for both sides. putting luton ahead in the 22nd minute before turning the ball into his own net in the second half even though forest's ryan yates seemed to claim the goal. new forest manager chris hughton is now unbeaten in four games. check out all the scores on the bbc sport website. the efl chairman rick parry has written a letter today to the dcms secretary of state oliver dowden saying he believes clubs are being ignored by the government and being victimised over

the continued exclusion of fans. he says he believes that football should receive more financial support, like other sectors have, such as the arts. the message was clear that he felt the owner should be on the government to help failing football clu bs. government to help failing football clubs. and it shouldn't be seen as job done. now the department for a digital culture media and sport were quick to respond to the letter and they said it's been clear all along that professional football had the means to support itself. and that the governments focus will be on sports and sectors that can't support themselves and the government also urge the premier league and the f out to sort out a financial deal as soon as possible. the governments response didn't touch on the return of fans which is clearly the context of all of this from rick perry. clearly the context of all of this from rick perry. some rugby union news for you now and england will be without their back—up scrum—half willie heinz for theirfinal six nations match against italy in rome on saturday with northamptons alex mitchell called up instead.

we are trying to be steady in our team position. and i think it was just after a little box cake that he did and he just felt a little natal. so it's important to make sure that we get on top of it, the nichols and knox. so we can always stay in. he had the treatment here is first class. he had the treatment here is first class. ireland meanwhile will win the six nations if they manage get a bonus point victory over france. there is one change though to the side that beat italy last week, centre robbie henshaw starts in place of the injured garry ringrose. we've got more super league postponements to bring you up to date with. there's been a covid outbreak at castleford tigers. they've got 12 positive cases at the club so their match at huddersfield on friday is now off. leeds rhinos played the tigers on monday and four of their players have been stood down from their next match after being contacted by track and trace. huddersfield will now face warrington. that's after salford had

to forfeit their scheduled match against warrington on friday because they haven't got enough fit players following a frantic run of matches, including the challenge cup final. player welfare is a concern, and with covid postponements as well, will the super league season finish on time? we knew it was going to be a really hectic schedule. when we all agree to do it. you know we had to get so many live games on sky tv as well. were all close and having a real good dig in this but when you see the players suffering like they are doing at the moment, anyone is played the game knows what it feels like to get out of bed in the morning after a super league game, it's not a pleasant experience. but listen, rugby league people are tough and the governing body can work out how we can get the aims of the season with the grand final coming. baseball now, and the la dodgers world series victory has been overshadowed somewhat by a covid case. it was discovered mid—game against the tampa bay rays that one of the dodgers players, justin turner, had tested positive.

he was withdrawn from the match straight away, but then returned to join his teammates for their celebrations. it was their first world series win since 1988 but the players seemingly blase approach to turners condition hasn't put the team in the best possible light. major league baseball works very very hard to not have any coronavirus outbreaks after there were two earlier in the season with the marlins and the cardinals. there had not been a positive test in nearly two months. and now for this to happen on the final day of the world series. a lot of people are very concerned about how this happened and what the after effects are going to be. and that's all the sport for now. hello the weather shows no real sign of calming down over the next few days. more heavy rain, more strong winds and the forecast. we've got low pressure spinning here. you can see that on the satellite picture.
