you're watching bbc world news. our headlines: the british prime minister, borisjohnson, has said he takes responsibility, after the uk became the first european state to record more than 100,000 coronavirus deaths. there are now 100 million cases globally. the eu has threatened to impose export controls on vaccines made within the bloc, in a row over a shortage ofjabs. it's accused the drugmaker astrazeneca of reneging on its promised supply of vaccines. they have refuted those allegations. the us senate has seen off an attempt to stop donald trump's impeachment trial. republican rand paul argued the hearing would be unconstitutional because mr trump is no longer president. he was defeated by 55 votes to a5. and thousands of farmers in india have taken their protest against agricultural reforms to the heart of the capital delhi.

hello and welcome back to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me, thejournalist and broadcasterjenny kleeman and also dia chakravarty, brexit editor of the daily telegraph. welcome back to both of you. a good bit more time this time. let's start just looking at some of the front pages already in. the daily telegraph carries a despondent—looking prime minister, saying he accepted "full responsibility" for that terrible milestone of 100.000 deaths in the uk. the daily mail also reflects on borisjohnson�*s sombre mood in today's downing street briefing. the sun has a strong photograph

of the prime minister with his head bowed, and the metro reports his words — "i'm deeply sorry" — as britain's covid death toll passed 100,000. the i says the uk is the fifth country to pass the grim milestone, after the us, brazil, india and mexico. it's the highest in the world per capita. the times points out britain becomes the first european country to officially reach the mark. meanwhile, the ft reports companies have raised $400 billion in the first three weeks of 2021, as the torrent of government and central bank stimulus to rescue global economies cascades across capital markets. let's start again stop welcome back to both of you. jenny, should we look at the sun first of all, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters and the many grandparents who have been taken, we will remember them. i

think this isa taken, we will remember them. i think this is a remarkable front page because i think if you were an alien landing in the uk and seeing this front page, you would think this front page, you would think this was as a result of a war. is the same leg was that we use on remembrance day, we will remember them, and you've got the prime minister's head bowed, but this is not a war. it is more on a disease, if you think that there were 70,000 civilian casualties in the second world war, this has surpassed the civilian casualties of a war. i think borisjohnson, looking at the range of print pages, will be quite pleased with the way that the story has been told today. you have to that the papers knew that this hundred thousand milestone would be met, they would have prepared for it, they would have had stories ready to go, and the majority of them, like the sun focusing on him, on his sombre demeanour in the

briefing today, and perhaps deflecting from the questions of why we have reached this milestone, why we have reached this milestone, why we have reached this milestone, why we have been world beating it how badly we have been affected by the virus. we are, if you look at the rates of people dying with the disease, the worst of all countries with a population of more than 10 million. we knew this milestone was coming, it is a time to pause and reflect and ask the questions why. the prime minister is very keen that those questions are not asked yet, but i think we need to ask them sooner rather than later, because so many of these deaths were avoidable, could have been avoided with more decisive actions to lock down. 50,000 people died since november, and in october, sage was saying that we need to have a lockdown then, which as a part of a political decision the government chose not to do. we need to be asking these questions now, but, yeah, ithink the premonition would please that the premonition would please that the line taken out of this news is this one about his demeanour.

government, of course, would argue you have to balance the economy against the number of people who are going to be taken ill with this, and indeed many people have said that this happened with the benefit of hindsight, but we'll come onto it in a moment. dia, just looking at the picture, it reminded me also of those national humiliating apologies that leaders in asia do after some terrible scandal, after some terrible scandal, after some terrible corporate misdemeanor, especially with that had bowing. and again, it's funny, the image is so strong, isn't it, and it conjures up so many different responses in people? what was your response, dia? it was interesting hearing jenny's analysis, — it was interesting hearing jenny's analysis, but because i am not from this country. — analysis, but because i am not from this country, i am here, analysis, but because i am not from this country, lam here, born somewhere else, but because i am not from this_ somewhere else, but because i am not from this country, i am from one of

the asian _ from this country, i am from one of the asian countries where we do not see politicians take response with the whatsoever of these images brought— the whatsoever of these images brought up a interesting image for me come — brought up a interesting image for me come over the head of state does bow me come over the head of state does how his _ me come over the head of state does bow his head, doesn't seem humbled and even _ bow his head, doesn't seem humbled and even if_ bow his head, doesn't seem humbled and even if it seems like a deflection to some people, to me, i did thihk_ deflection to some people, to me, i did think that this was quite a powerful— did think that this was quite a powerful image, this bowed down prime _ powerful image, this bowed down prime ministers saying, "i take response — prime ministers saying, "i take response for what has happened, for my government has reacted, and we need to— my government has reacted, and we need to look further into this." it has been — need to look further into this." it has been quite interesting, and i thought— has been quite interesting, and i thought i— has been quite interesting, and i thought i would make that point because — thought i would make that point because i— thought i would make that point because i know this is coming, going out to— because i know this is coming, going out to bbc_ because i know this is coming, going out to bbc world as well. it is because i know this is coming, going out to bbc world as well.— out to bbc world as well. it is not, actuall , out to bbc world as well. it is not, actually. but _ out to bbc world as well. it is not, actually. but i _ out to bbc world as well. it is not, actually, but i think— out to bbc world as well. it is not, actually, but i think a _ out to bbc world as well. it is not, actually, but i think a lot _ out to bbc world as well. it is not, actually, but i think a lot of - actually, but i think a lot of viewers... not today! it changes every day. but there might be a lot people who share your background, who are watching now. can i move us on, please, jenny to the times,

100,000 deaths? and like other papers, they have used the photograph of some of the people who have lost their lives, just to show, really, the human impact, and that is what is key, isn't it? so often in ourjob, we talk about x number of deaths, next number ——x —— x number injuries, but people have been remind everyone today that these are people. yes. have been remind everyone today that these are maple-— these are people. yes, and 100,000 --eole is these are people. yes, and 100,000 peeple is kind _ these are people. yes, and 100,000 peeple is kind of _ these are people. yes, and 100,000 people is kind of inconceivable. - people is kind of inconceivable. keir starmer in his statement was trying to give us something tangible to latch onto, say it is a population the size of bath, but what you need to remember is these are 100 individual with 100 families... 100,000 families who could not say goodbye to them, who could not say goodbye to them, who could not say goodbye to them, who could not have a proper funeral could not say goodbye to them, who could not have a properfuneralfor them, and you need to pick out certain faces. clearly, the times has done quite a good job here, but this isjust a has done quite a good job here, but this is just a fraction. you

has done quite a good job here, but this isjust a fraction. you do good a sense of what a diverse range of people have been affected by this, although we do know people on lower incomes were more likely to die, older people were more likely to die, but the times has done a good job of showing it has affected people of all races and all situations. and it is this we need to cling onto. these are not figures. we talk about 100,000 deaths, ratherthan figures. we talk about 100,000 deaths, rather than 100,000 people have lost their lives, and we need to bear in mind these are not points on a to bear in mind these are not points ona graph, to bear in mind these are not points on a graph, they are people with families, and this is the grief of 100,000 families that we are not going to be dealing with. the prime minister, though, _ going to be dealing with. the prime minister, though, dia, _ going to be dealing with. the prime l minister, though, dia, acknowledging that there needed to be some kind of national commemoration for this and for the people who had been involved in trying to save these lives, so did you could the impression that he really did genuinely understand how traumatic this had been for people and wanted to mark that? in terms of

should not be able to have any more resources at his disposal, so it was a bit muddled to me, but the whole point about all of this and the headline from the express is the headline from the express is the headline that is reflected in a lot of the papers today, was the optimistic borisjohnson to be appearing incredibly sombre and solemn and accepting this is a terrible number, a terrible figure that our country now owns, it was significant in its change of tone, evenif significant in its change of tone, even if it was not massively coherent. even if it was not massively coherent-— even if it was not massively coherent. . , ., �* , ., coherent. yeah, dia, let's look at our coherent. yeah, dia, let's look at your paper. _ coherent. yeah, dia, let's look at your paper. for — coherent. yeah, dia, let's look at your paper, for the _ coherent. yeah, dia, let's look at your paper, for the first - coherent. yeah, dia, let's look at your paper, for the first time - coherent. yeah, dia, let's look atj your paper, for the first time now but he victims of covid suffered and died alone, they deserve to be remembered. above this piece by judith woods which points to the health inequality, and private areas number six times higher deaths than

fuss out of wanting to be in control of our borders also we were in a position to protect ourselves better. we are not the most obese country in europe, portugal is more obese than we are, we are not the oldest country in europe, and yet we have the worst figures in europe, so this was avoidable and it is a catastrophe that people saw coming and no one more so than the people who actually had the disease and were seeing themselves deteriorate and go into intensive care. {mtg were seeing themselves deteriorate and go into intensive care.— and go into intensive care. onto the ft. and go into intensive care. onto the ft, dia. and go into intensive care. onto the ft. dia. the — and go into intensive care. onto the ft. dia. the good — and go into intensive care. onto the ft, dia. the good news _ and go into intensive care. onto the ft, dia. the good news now, - and go into intensive care. onto the | ft, dia. the good news now, finally, is that the vaccine roll—out in this country is better than elsewhere, certainly in europe, if not internationally full so by degree or fourin internationally full so by degree or four in terms of the vaccination table, fourth or fifth, four in terms of the vaccination table, fourth orfifth, but four in terms of the vaccination table, fourth or fifth, but some quite ugly rose developing within europe and also between europe and the uk. germany pressing brussels for power to prevent vaccines from leaving the eu, accusing astrazeneca of things the company absolutely

vaccine better stop right into the vaccine better stop right into the vaccine into files as well, because actually the core vaccine— actually the core vaccine exists. it's the actually the core vaccine exists. it's the next _ actually the core vaccine exists. it's the next phase. _ actually the core vaccine exists. it's the next phase. but - it's the next phase. but nonetheless, _ it's the next phase. but nonetheless, it - it's the next phase. but nonetheless, it is - it's the next phase. but nonetheless, it is ugly, | it's the next phase. pit nonetheless, it is ugly, vaccine nationalism, any suggestion is also that astrazeneca are somehow profiteering in the way that they are operating. the ceo of astrazeneca made clear they are not profiting at all, because i was a part of their contract with 0xford part of their contract with oxford university, they would make no profit. we all reckon is none of us are safe until all of us are safe, and everyone should get to the doses as and when they can —— we all recognise. as and when they can -- we all recognise-— as and when they can -- we all recoanise. . ., ., ., recognise. ok, i am afraid we are out of time- _ recognise. ok, i am afraid we are out of time. nothing _ recognise. ok, i am afraid we are out of time. nothing left - recognise. ok, i am afraid we are out of time. nothing left at - recognise. ok, i am afraid we are out of time. nothing left at all. recognise. ok, i am afraid we are| out of time. nothing left at all i'm hardly enough time for me to say goodbye to you both and to our viewers for our second look at the papers. thank you.

good evening. i'm ben croucher with a round—up of the day's sports news. we'll start in the premier league, where we have new leaders for 2h hours at least. manchester city won their 11th straight game in all competitions, thrashing west brom 5—0. pep guardiola called his opposite number sam allardyce a genius in the build up, but there was little evidence of that, as two ilkay gundogan goals helped city to a 4—0 lead by half—time. raheem sterling added a fifth after the break. manchester united can return to top spot tomorrow but must beat sheffield united. it's 11 without a win now for newcastle — manager steve bruce saying the premier league can be cruel — as they lost 2—1 at home to leeds. they did manage to score after four games without a goal, but jack harrison's strike just after the hour mark proved the winner. newcastle remain 16th, seven points above the drop zone. contrast their form with west ham, who are now into the top four

but now that phase is over. chelsea is set on thomas tuchel, a man who made his name in germany and won the league twice in france. he took paris st germain to august's champions league final, but he's also used to impatience. paris sacked him last month. tuchel said their expectations were too high. he is, after all, used to perspective. 13 years ago, he was augsburg's reserves manager. he got his first shot in the top flight with mainz, where lewis holtby played for him. i only have praise for him. he's a very passionate guy. he's a guy who's got a lot of fire in his belly, but i think you need that in the job to improve everyone. i personally have a good relationship. 0bviously, at some points, he wanted to get the best out of me and gave me a hard week, but that was only to improve myself, so he understands the psychology of players. and obviously, back then, he was far more younger than he is now, so i think all the experience he's gained has helped him. and from my point of view,

he's done a greatjob everywhere he's been. there is a blueprint for german coaches here, and tuchel knows how to follow jurgen klopp. he's replaced him at two bundesliga clubs before. chelsea could do with know—how from that league. timo werner and kai havertz both came here from germany, part of a £200 million summer spend that didn't work for lampard. tuchel needs two negative covid tests to be in charge tomorrow. back home, they call him the professor, a tactician who gets the best from those around him. but for coaches at chelsea, what matters most is the view of those above. joe lynskey, bbc news. former celtic and aston villa managerjozef venglos has died at the age of 8a. the slovakian had a long managerial career, taking charge of the australian, czechoslovakia and slovakia national teams. he became villa's first overseas manager in 1991, lasting just one campaign in the first division before taking over at celtic

for a season six years later. in the first test match between pakistan and south africa in pakistan for more than a decade, 11t wickets fell on a topsy—turvy opening day of the first test in karachi. dean elgar�*s 58 was south africa's top scorer, as they struggled their way to 220 all out in theirfirst innings. pakistan's impressive feats with the ball couldn't be backed up with the bat. they slipped to 33—1t at the close. ireland, meanwhile, have lost their one day series against afghanistan 3—0, having been set a target of 267 to win. ireland were all out for 230, losing by 36 runs in abu dhabi. grassroots sporting organisations, hit hard by the pandemic, have been given a boost with news that sport england will invest another £50 million to encourage more people to get active again. tanayah sam is an ex—offender

who now looks to help young people stay out of trouble. we've got a ito—metre climbing wall that young people cannot access. the wall�*s just sitting there, freezing, just... it's there for looks and young people cannot access this. and i think the government are not communicating, engaging, consulting with community organisations, with those on the ground, because we're still working with vulnerable young people, but we've been halted from using sports to engage with those same vulnerable young people. and that is all from the bbc sport centre. have a very good night. hello there. big temperature contrasts in the forecast for the next few days. many of us feeling the effects of a flow of mild air

from the southwest. with that, you can see a lot of cloud on our earlier satellite image, but the orange colours working in, showing that milder air. however, notice the blue colours up towards the north. cold air holds on, particularly across the northern half of scotland — a cold start to wednesday here. much milder down towards the south, but across southern england, into southern and western wales, it's going to be quite misty and murky, damp and drizzly for a good part of the day. from the midlands and east anglia northwards, we should see some spells of sunshine. any rain, sleet and snow showers across southern scotland should tend to fade. best sunshine of all, i think, to be found across the far north of scotland. that's also where we'll have the lowest of the temperatures, whereas down to the south, highs of 11 or 12 degrees. now, through wednesday night, this band of rain, heavy rain, is going to work its way northeastwards. could be enough rain to cause some flooding across parts of north wales and northwest england. remember, the ground here is still very wet. quite an array of temperatures

as we start thursday morning. and with our band of rain working northwards into the cold air and then becoming very slow—moving, well, we could well see some quite significant snow. now, i think this will mostly be over the high ground, say, above 200 metres, in the pennines, up into the southern uplands, the south of the grampians as well, but where this snow does fall, it's going to be falling through a good part of the day, so that could cause some travel disruption. more likely, rain and sleet at low levels. northern scotland seeing some brightness, but it will be very cold here, just two or three degrees. down towards the south, if we see a little bit of sunshine, highs of 13 or 1a. exceptional for this time of year. now, the snow will be falling for quite some time across high ground of northern england and scotland. 15 to 30 cm of snow is possible. that could cause some disruption on high—level routes during thursday night. this next band of wet weather could well help to add to those snow totals,

but as we get on into friday, the wet and wintry weather should tend to ease away. it will turn increasingly dry with some sunshine. still pretty chilly across the north and mild in the south, with highs of 12 degrees.
