good morning. england's hopes of an innings victory have been dashed by sri lanka on the fourth day of the first test match — although the touring side are still in a commanding position in galle thanks to a couple of wickets in the last half an hour... sri lanka resuming on 156 for 2, lahiru thirimanne brought up his second test century as england toiled in the humidty. he was eventually out for 111 off the bowling of sam curren. still sri lanka ticked along and into the lead as england's attack lacked any real threat. dom bess though has picked up three wickets in the innings though with sri lanka currently 16 runs in the lead at tea. football players in the spotlight at the moment after premier league bosses reminded them to avoid handhsakes and goal celebrations leicester managed to stick to the rules in their 2—0 win over southampton, james maddison with a brilliant opener, that moves them second. there were celebrations, just a little more respectful.

we got told in a meeting that that is something that might be implemented and something we might have to do going forward to keep going, and that is what everyone wants. football is giving is going in these tough times. it was a little bit of a creative idea. a light—hearted joke and something that we should probably start doing. someone has got to start it. the rules weren't followed as strictly elsewhere in the premier league. west brom boss sam allardyce said he could understand why his side celebrated their 3—2 win over wolves, their first win since he took over and one against their west midlands rivals. the way we've won the game, actually scoring three goals for only the second time this season, it's very difficult to control your emotions. even i wanted to kiss him, and that's saying something. i don't think it was totally out of control, but i thought they tried. obviously, you can understand why that happened. elsewhere in the premier league, the pressure on frank lampard eased slightly as chelsea beat 10 man fulham.

mason mount popping up with the crucial goal. wins elsehwere yesterday for brighton and west ham. what a game we have in store at anfield later. the champions liverpool up against league leaders manchester united. it's the first time they've been top at this stage of the season since sir alex ferguson won his last title at united. and interestinglyjurgen klopp says he and sir alex actually message quite a bit.. alex and i, we have contact. he texts. alex changes his phone number quite frequently and i always get the new version, so that's a big honour. i always get, "this is my new number". i always think, "wow!" in scotland, celtic�*s problems continue. they were held to a goalless draw by livingstone. they are 20 points behind leaders rangers, and that gap could get bigger today as steven gerrard's side play motherwell at lunchtime. glasgow survived a late fightback tojust edge out edinburgh in rugby
9:36 am
union's pro ia. this try from george turner put glasgow in control, but edinburgh hit back and could have won it, but jaco van der walt�*s missed conversion preserved the glasgow's one—point lead and moved them off the bottom of their conference. history will made at the masters snooker today. we'll either have the oldest ever winner injohn higgins or the youngest winner for more than 25 years in yan bingtao. two—time champion higgins — who knocked ronnie 0'sullivan out in the quarter finals and first made a masters final back in 1995 — saw off david gilbert last night and described his 20—year—old chinese opponent today as an old head on young shoulders. you might be aware of sir ben ainslie's attempts to qualify for the america's cup in march — his british team are competing in the challenger series for the right to face the holders team new zealand for the main prize.. they're competing against two other teams, one of those american magic,

9:38 am
economics editor at the independent. thank you very much for sharing some of your sunday morning with us. let's take you through the front pages. the sunday telegraph reports that all over—18s could have the coronavirus vaccine "�*by the end ofjune', as the government prepares to inoculate 5 million people a week. the sunday express also leads on the vaccination programme, adding that britain is "nearly on the home straight" to beating coronavirus after a record number of inoculations were carried out. the sunday times writes that plans are being drawn up by ministers to create quarantine hotels for people arriving into the uk from abroad, to stop new variants of the virus from spreading. the independent leads on keir starmer�*s call on the prime minister to formally announce an inquiry into the government's handling of the pandemic, six months after he promised an investigation. the sunday mirror reports that a woman who claims she was attacked by a conservative mp is hoping for a legal review into her case.
9:39 am
the sunday people writes that the health secretary matt hancock cancelled contracts with private hospitals that would have given the nhs 8,000 extra beds. and, the mail on sunday reports that the chinese government is under growing pressure to reveal the true origins of the coronavirus pandemic after us intelligence placed a wuhan lab at the centre of the mystery. so let's begin... let's start with the sunday telegraph. take a look at that for us. predicting all of eighteens might have the jab by the end of june. we have heard lots of different targets. do think targets are a good idea in the sense? is it galvanising the whole nation towards a mass vaccination programme? yes. i a mass vaccination programme? yes, i think the a mass vaccination programme? yes, i thinkthey are — a mass vaccination programme? yes, i think they are sensible _ a mass vaccination programme? yes, i think they are sensible because - a mass vaccination programme? yes, i think they are sensible because they i think they are sensible because they provide a degree of accountability.
9:40 am
if you say we will vaccinate everyone and don't put a date on it, it is not clear when they have achieved it in what they are aiming for. they are important. but this is a confusing report because it says on the one hand that government sources are saying we are going to vaccinate everyone in the country by june, and then there is a line saying that ministers are slightly concerned about losing their official target which is of course to vaccinate a0 million people, vulnerable people and elderly people, by the 15th of february. i am not sure what lesson we should take from that. but one lesson i would take is ignored the spin and focus on the data. 0n the 15th of january, on friday, they vaccinated 32a,000 people which is a good number, 3.6 million people already have been vaccinated which again is a good number, so that is all encouraging. the rate seems good. 0h, we have lost ben. john, do you think from the government's point of
9:41 am
view politically, the whole vaccination wall that has been a success story? the handling of the pandemic hasn't always been a success story, i think they would agree to that. success story, i think they would agree to that-— success story, i think they would aaree to that. , , , agree to that. they must be relieved b that. agree to that. they must be relieved by that. yes. — agree to that. they must be relieved by that. yes. it _ agree to that. they must be relieved by that. yes, it is _ agree to that. they must be relieved by that. yes, it is a _ agree to that. they must be relieved by that. yes, it is a bit _ agree to that. they must be relieved by that. yes, it is a bit of— agree to that. they must be relieved by that. yes, it is a bit of a - by that. yes, it is a bit of a novelty— by that. yes, it is a bit of a novelty for— by that. yes, it is a bit of a novelty for something to do with coronavirus to be going well. more than 300,000 people were vaccinated injust— than 300,000 people were vaccinated injust one _ than 300,000 people were vaccinated injust one day on friday and now ministers — injust one day on friday and now ministers behind the scenes are apparently going for more ambitious targets _ apparently going for more ambitious targets. there might be some problems along the way, we are not quite _ problems along the way, we are not quite there — problems along the way, we are not quite there yet. the uk did the right— quite there yet. the uk did the right thing in ordering in the right vaccines— right thing in ordering in the right vaccines in— right thing in ordering in the right vaccines in advance and they seem to have done _ vaccines in advance and they seem to have done a _ vaccines in advance and they seem to have done a good job at opening these _ have done a good job at opening these mass vaccination centres, sending — these mass vaccination centres, sending out the vaccine. there could be a couple — sending out the vaccine. there could be a couple of problems that we encounter — be a couple of problems that we encounter in the next few weeks. there _ encounter in the next few weeks. there is— encounter in the next few weeks. there is the — encounter in the next few weeks. there is the possibility that we could — there is the possibility that we could see _ there is the possibility that we could see manufacturing delays of the astrazeneca and pfizer, they are both saying they are reconvening their— both saying they are reconvening their manufacturing lines so they

9:44 am
big element of the public enquiry that eventually comes in. why was the government still apparently relaxed about people coming into the country are not being tested, not being quarantined effectively, when so many other countries seem to be much more on top of this. also, i wanted like another element of the story which i think is really important. it is about when the uk is going to ease the lockdown. it is talking about ministers saying they are definitely going to start doing it from march. this goes against sage advice. we could be looking at another big clash between government policy and scientific advice on this. �* , ., ., policy and scientific advice on this. �*, ., ., ,, this. let's go to the sunday people. the are this. let's go to the sunday people. they are saying _ this. let's go to the sunday people. they are saying it — this. let's go to the sunday people. they are saying it is _ this. let's go to the sunday people. they are saying it is a _ this. let's go to the sunday people. they are saying it is a matt - this. let's go to the sunday people. they are saying it is a matt hancockj they are saying it is a matt hancock blunder, that over 8000 hospital beds are not being used because he cancelled contracts with private hospitals. we do hear a lot about the nhs being overwhelmed and there was this initial plan contractor to cover private hospital beds. is that an interesting story?—

9:47 am
of people to go back? i think we also have to look at government policy right now. statutory sick pay is one of... the cabbage is really weak and the generosity of it is very low. a lot of health experts and economists are saying of the government wants people to self—isolate and do not go back to the office, do not risk spreading this, they need to make this more generous and they are simply not fulfilling their part of the bargain, if they want people not to go to work and risk spreading this very dangerous disease. $1150 go to work and risk spreading this very dangerous disease.— go to work and risk spreading this very dangerous disease. also in the observer, very dangerous disease. also in the observer. they _ very dangerous disease. also in the observer, they have _ very dangerous disease. also in the observer, they have a _ very dangerous disease. also in the observer, they have a story - very dangerous disease. also in the observer, they have a story about | observer, they have a story about children and the effect on young people of this whole coronavirus pandemic. and talking about experts... experts talking about many families being swept into poverty by the pandemic and really the disastrous impact it is having on many of our young people. yes. on many of our young people. yes, the have on many of our young people. yes, they have in _ on many of our young people. yes, they have in the _ on many of our young people. yes, they have in the observer - on many of our young people. yes, they have in the observer is the yawning — they have in the observer is the yawning gap between the richer and poorer— yawning gap between the richer and poorer children. i think they are calling — poorer children. i think they are calling for— poorer children. i think they are calling for an enquiry because there

week on wednesday amid very tight security. there are stories that he is going to be coming to the uk first, although i think if you read a bit more closely into that he is also going to canada, probably got for the uk and he is in the coming to the uk because that is the g7 in the summer. to the uk because that is the g7 in the summer-— the summer. exactly, first after canada would _ the summer. exactly, first after canada would not _ the summer. exactly, first after canada would not have - the summer. exactly, first after canada would not have the - the summer. exactly, first after- canada would not have the headline value. what to make of this? it seems like a bit of spin to suggest that downing street and the white house under abidin are going to be very good friends after a pretty bumpy relations in the run—up to the election because jill bumpy relations in the run—up to the election becausejill biden put out that statement saying anything that the uk government is of a brexit in the uk government is of a brexit in the good friday agreement puts that agreement in jeopardy, the good friday agreement puts that agreement injeopardy, which the good friday agreement puts that agreement in jeopardy, which was on the cards one point, there would be no us uk trade deal. what is significant is what is missing from
9:50 am
the story is that there is no spin from downing street suggesting there is going to be a quick us uk trade deal which was obviously hope under donald trump, and we hope that if donald trump, and we hope that if donald trump, and we hope that if donald trump had been re—elected. there is no talk of that so i think we can read into that. there is no hope of it and joe biden said himself that this would not be a priority. trade deals will not be a priority. trade deals will not be a priority for his government. i think watch this space and see if anything changes on that. but other than that, i don't think there is a huge amount of comfort in the story for the uk economy. d0 amount of comfort in the story for the uk economy.— amount of comfort in the story for the uk economy. do you think that is auoin to the uk economy. do you think that is going to have — the uk economy. do you think that is going to have to _ the uk economy. do you think that is going to have to be _ the uk economy. do you think that is going to have to be a _ the uk economy. do you think that is going to have to be a lot _ the uk economy. do you think that is going to have to be a lot of— the uk economy. do you think that is going to have to be a lot of fence - going to have to be a lot of fence building between borisjohnson and jill biden? you building between boris johnson and jill biden? ., ., . ., jill biden? you look at... we had all this briefing _ jill biden? you look at... we had all this briefing about _ jill biden? you look at... we had all this briefing about how - jill biden? you look at... we had all this briefing about hoinll- all this briefing about hoinll biden— all this briefing about hoinll biden might snap borisjohnson and actually— biden might snap borisjohnson and actually when it came to it, when he was doing _ actually when it came to it, when he was doing his first phone calls to world _ was doing his first phone calls to world leaders, the uk was right there _ world leaders, the uk was right there near the top of the list. where — there near the top of the list. where a _ there near the top of the list. where a lot of people were saying he might _
