9:33 am
performers on and off the pitch, chorley are making a habit of hitting all the right notes in this season's fa cup. another tie, another cup upset. this time it was derby who were knocked out, chorley on top from the very start. derby normally play four divisions higher than chorley, but a covid—i9 outbreak meant they were forced to name a starting ii with an average age ofjust i9. and in the end the lack of experience showed. non—league chorley into round four of the fa cup! chorley‘s fairytale run goes on. just a real proud moment. i feel really emotional, to be honest with you. you know, we've been on a journey, this football club, over the last 10—15 years, we've made lots of progress, and today is probably the pinnacle of that. there was a fairytale return for the backpool goalkeeper chris maxwell. after being out for ten days with covid, he saved three out of five penaties to help blackpool beat premier league side west brom. cameronjerome's goal had mk dons dreaming of round four as they lead against burnley.

9:35 am
changed in the bar area, because of covid restrictions. it is three—sided, very tight ground, houses on two sides, big stand behind one of the goals. it is a proper non—league ground, which most non—league grounds at our level are like. and that match is live on match of the day — kick off at 5 o'clock — and before that on bbc1, it's crawley town against leeds united, at 1.30. rangers can put even more daylight betwen themselves and celtic at the top of the scottish premiership later — they're away to aberdeen. and there was very nearly a major upset in the second round of the scottish cup yesterday. dundee were taken to extra time by bonnyrigg rose of the lowland league — who actually went ahead twice, with two penalties from lee currie. however, dundee equalised and osman sow made it 3—2 in the 112th minute. bristol bears have gone to the top of rugby

9:37 am
about comments from the crowd. play was held up for about 10 minutes. cricket australia were already investigating claims of racist abuse on the previous day. australia are closing in on victory. they declared on 312—6 after all—rounder cameron green hit an entertaining 8a. and india lost two wickets before stumps, so they'll go into the final day needing another 309 runs to win. the four—match series is level at i—all. the masters snooker gets underway today in milton keynes — without world number onejudd trump, who tested positive for coronavirus on friday. he's had to pull out, along with jack lisowski, who also returned a positive result. their places go to substitutes who were in the tournament bubble. that's all the sport. now on bbc news, here's ben with the papers.
9:38 am
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us today. with me are anna mikhailova, deputy political editor at the mail on sunday and james rampton, features writer at the independent. welcome to you both. here are the front—pages. the sunday times carries a warning from the chief medical officer professor chris whitty that emergency patients will be turned away from hospitals, causing "avoidable deaths", unless the public starts obeying the lockdown. while the observer has senior nhs figures warning the number of doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers who are falling ill with covid—i9 has reached crisis levels and is seriously hampering the fight against the rapidly escalating pandemic. the sunday people features an ominous warning from a frontline nurse — urging everyone to follow the rules. while the sunday telegraph reports
9:39 am
that every police officer has been told to fine people in breach of covid rules £200 if they refuse to go home at the first time of asking, in new guidance issued to all chief constables. the sunday mirror describes the queen and the duke of edinbugh‘s vaccinations as sending a powerful message to anti—vaxers. the mail on sunday note that the queen and prince philip had their first jab — at windsor castle — only when it became available to others in the berkshire area, to avoid any suggestion of special treatment. and the sunday express says the queen and the duke of edinburgh have led by by example, joining more than 1.5 million other britons who've so far had the jab. so let's begin. james, the sunday telegraph and they're talking about police to issue fines after one warning, in other words they're notjust going to keep warning people, if they don't obey the rules after one warning they will get fined £200.
9:40 am
absolutely, i would start by saying i feel for the police in absolutely, i would start by saying ifeel for the police in this situation, when they signed up, hoping to improve society, by becoming a police officer, i'm sure they never imagined they would have to impose fines during a pandemic. however, it has led to some potentially absurd situations, in derbyshire this week two women went to beauty spot with takeaway coffee and each were fined £200 hn, who said the coffee constituted an illegal picnic. you get into these laughable situations, because the police have to crackdown and the interesting thing in the sunday telegraph piece is the suggestion they're having to do that, because they're having to do that, because the government is desperate to stave off the scientists' desire for a tougher lockdown. i think there are reasons to increase the severity of the lockdown, early years settings are still open, people can do a number of things they couldn't do in
9:41 am
the previous lockdown and i think a third of pupils are still going to school, i think those areas are places where we could crackdown to stop this horrible virus spreading. ana, there is a striking line in the telegraph story, quoting an official saying if there was a gunman who killed a thousand people yesterday, running around the country and the government said stay at home, eve ryo ne government said stay at home, everyone would say ok, i'll do that. yes that is striking language. obviously, it is not a gunman, it is a situation people have been living with for nearly a year and as james said the lockdown is not as sfribgt as the first one —— strict as the first one. the thing about the police fines, the thing to point out is we hear about the cases like derbyshire, where police go the extra mile, are stopping people for
9:42 am
just having coffee, derbyshire was famous last year for dyeing a lake to deter swimmers. now, what the home office is concerned about, they tell me, is while some forces are going almost over the top, some are refusing to hand out many fines. so i think this push and guidance they haveissued i think this push and guidance they have issued to chief constables is really aimed at trying to address the police forces that haven't been as ready to hand out fines and carry out enforcement. some police office rs out enforcement. some police officers do think it is not necessarily theirjob to police people walking around the streets. james, the sunday times and chris whitty saying it is the worse crisis in living memory, interesting we have one of the scientists coming out with this warning, rather than a politician and perhaps a suggestion that downing street think maybe the public listen to the scientists more
9:43 am
than to the politicians? absolutely. i think there is a great deal more public trust in scientists than in politicians. i have a lot of respect for chris whitty. i read he went and did some shifts at the uch in london last week and he has a lot on his plate already. i'm impressed by him. i also think that he is not tainted with the potential political difficultives say of —— difficulties of say letting an advisor off the hook when he apparently breaks lockdown rules by driving to durham. i think there is more trust in scientists and we will listen to chris whitty when he says the nhs was within two weeks of being overwhelmed and they have to turn away emergency cases, which might lead to avoidable deaths. that is a horrendous phrase to hear in an advanced nation in the 21st century, that the leading medic in the
9:44 am
country is saying there maybe avoidable deaths. it shows the carnage being wrought which this virus and how seriously we have to ta ke virus and how seriously we have to take it. part of that carnage in the observer, hospital staff, health ca re observer, hospital staff, health care staff are falling ill with covid—i9 in large numbers. doctors and nurses and other workers, that is contributing to the crisis in the hospitals. i absolutely, it is contributing to the staffing shortage that already existed. we are seeing things like ambulances struggling to cope with the amount of calls, which have led to certain services like maternity services and home births int services like maternity services and home births in t south—east to be cancelled. so there is a real pressure on staff and of course the roll out of vaccine to nhs staff can't come soon enough. it is being done, but there is a time delay and
9:45 am
the staffing crisis is contributing to the crisis in the wards. james the sunday mirror, a lot of papers reflecting on the queen and the duke of edinburgh being given the vaccine. the mirror get it is prize for the best headline, a shot in the ma'am! a lovely headline. as someone who has been vaguely wishy—washy lefty in the past, i'm in danger of sounding patriotic, buti lefty in the past, i'm in danger of sounding patriotic, but i think the queen is such a tremendous role model, there was a scene, this is a very topical reference in the 1970s comedy the goodies, when the queen was mentioned tim brooke—taylor was start singing rule brittannia. so when she says, yes, we have queued
9:46 am
up when she says, yes, we have queued up like even else, we didn't want to jump up like even else, we didn't want to jump the queue, unlike some private companies that are allegedly offering gps five grand, we waited until we did it and this quiet announcement is a shot in the arm for the nation and a shot in the eye for the nation and a shot in the eye for the nation and a shot in the eye for the anti—vaxxers who say it is made up and they should go to the hospitals and see what is happening in the icu. the queen is bigger in beckham in terms of influence and celebrity and her doing this i think is brilliant. bigger than beckham, thatis is brilliant. bigger than beckham, that is big. anna, how worried are you about the anti—vaxxers in this country, they don't seem as prominent as in a country like france. i think social media gives those views a platform and that is a
9:47 am
challenge that we are seeing that is pretty new. i think it is a concern and certainly the queen coming out in public doing this is all part of a concerted effort for public figures and national treasures, you could say, to make a point that they have been vaccinated. it is something no 10 were trying to urge prominent figures to do when the vaccine first came on. because they have been aware that anti—vaxxers will be a problem. this vaccination has been obviously thankfully pushed through quickly, compared to the normal process. so there is that, you know, they do have to make an effort to counter the er the voices to make it clear it has been regulated. and the queen getting publicity is helpful and aimed at that. now the aftermath of what
9:48 am
happened in washington last week, the observer have "growing pressure on trump". impeachment proceedings will be launched tomorrow and they have a except column which they quote from on the front—page, saying the idea that the a president could incite a rebellion against his own country's government and go unpunished is intolerable. yes, there will be billions of people around the world if they hear president trump's own catch phrase used against him — you're fired. i think there are consequences. if you see a rioters attacking the us capitol building with the us flag, using it as a weapon, a spear, people with molotov cocktails were arrested, there was allegations of a plot to lynch mike pence. they had
9:49 am
the most offensive slogans, saying six million isn't enough, a reference to the holocaust and then president trump goes on twitter and says, we love you. if somebody is saying that, about people who are committing these crimes, he has to be held to account. he seems to exist in a parallel universe where he thinks there are no consequences to what he said. i applaud the senator from alaska, who said get him out. she is the first republican to say he should be impeached. the first senator certainly. there are 180 democrats in the house who will bring proceedings tomorrow and he will be the first ever president to be impeached twice. if it is successful, he can't stand again and again the world will cheer if that is the case. anna, he may be as angered by the impeachment proceedings as he by being kicked off twitter. he is said to have gone
9:50 am
ballistic. there are people who have made the joke that will hurt more than any impeachment proceedings to him, because his career has been so intertwined with twitter. and on a more serious point, people, some people were celebrating yesterday that twitter took him off. operates making the point that donald trump has been saying things that have been you know inciteful and offensive for so long and it has taken this long for them to do anything about it. but do you think anna that the impeachment proceedings may start, but it will be hard to actually go through the whole process, including a trial, by the time he is out of office any way. no, as reports say, the more likely scenario is a trial if it we re likely scenario is a trial if it were to take place would be after joe biden comes in. i think this is
9:51 am
more a case of joe biden comes in. i think this is more a case of even joe biden comes in. i think this is more a case of even though he has only days left, its about precedent and showing someone who incites violence and doesn't criticise riotous mobs should face consequences. 0k and james, well, we will talk about social media and donald trump and twitter with, harry and megan have quit social media. well, it is partially because of people like trump that they have quit. i'm not on any social media, you may say that is typical of you, you may say that is typical of you, you sad middle aged dinosaur. but i think it encourages a toxic environment. people have taken against harry and megan, but the abuse they have been subjected to,
9:52 am
particularly megan and there is a lot of racist stuff out there, appals me. people say things on twitter to others that they would never say to their face. you read twitter to others that they would never say to theirface. you read it every day and you are just appalled. your eyes nearly pop out at what people say. perhaps they willjoin trump's new social media platform, which one paper suggests he will launch, having been kicked off twitter. will he call it a very sta ble twitter. will he call it a very stable genius? there are many titles. but i applaud harry and megan for coming off twitter. what do you think of that anna? they have ten million followers on instagram for example. as someone who is on social media, although not actively, it is not an uncommon thing for celebrities to say i'm getting off social media, i'm leaving this site
9:53 am
forever and then they come back. let's see how long the social media ban lasts. it is something used for promotion and that is something that harry and megan have used to great effect with their big... spotify deal, netflix deal, maybe they won't promote any of it on any of these platforms. let's wait and see. the last story, james in the sunday times, the headline is american house wives desperate for classic british television. it is notjust house wives, that is a play on the tv show, but it is about people in america loving the stuff that is on brit box. fawlty towers, maybe it is a distraction in what is happening in washington? yes it is a lovely story and it is nice to have a and
9:54 am
finely skateboarding cats note, there is such a plethora of appalling news, ithink there is such a plethora of appalling news, i think viewers in america and the word are tuning into old fashioned series, because it provides another world to lose yourself in. you can escape briefly from the horrors that are confronting us every day. i love the fa ct confronting us every day. i love the fact that fawlty towers is so popular, are they saying, don't mention the president? it is a wonderful world they're creating in these programmes and it enables us to flee from our own. we are so used to flee from our own. we are so used to watchin imports of person tv it doesn't sound likely that the americans would want to she what we make? i don't think that is true. you know many brilliant hits are still popular there and get remade like house of cards. i think british
9:55 am
tv is very popular across the pond. thank you for being on our tv show. that's it for the papers this morning. thanks to my reviewers anna mikhailova and james rampton. hello, this morning was not as cold as yesterday, but it started frosty and foggy across some parts of uk. but through the day we are looking at milderairto but through the day we are looking at milder air to push in. with that frost and fog lifting in the south, it may brighten up this afternoon, but generally a lot of cloud. we will see the rain turning heavy in western scotland. temperatures here eight degrees, five or six will be typical. maybe lower in the south—east. a cold day here, but not as cold as it was yesterday. for

that means briefly we will find colder air returning and we may have a frost to begin in scotland, northern england and northern ireland. there is more cloud to the south and we have rain and drizzle hanging on into the south west with temperatures probably reaching 10 degrees. eight in london, further north colder, four to six celsius, but at least there will be some sunshine. we may well find a frost developing early in the night, before these fronts come back in from the atlantic, bringing in milderairon from the atlantic, bringing in milder air on wednesday and more cloud and rain to most of the uk. the rest of the week is dry. last week the temperatures were around one to four celsius. this week it is going to be much milder.
