at the age of 100. his fundraising on behalf of nhs charities has been the cause of countless tributes, including nationwide applause earlier this evening. there's some flash photography in this report by our north of england correspondent judith moritz. applause at a time of grief, a moment of celebration. a national clap for captain sir tom. his family said they were joining in, with huge love in their hearts. and the prime minister added his applause, along with other political leaders, in appreciation and remembrance of the extraordinary efforts of an incredible man who raised millions for the nhs, and won the nation's hearts in the process. he exemplified the best of our values. in the house of commons, captain sir tom's contribution was marked with a moment of reflection. i invite members to nowjoin me for a minute's silence to commemorate sir tom's life, and to pay our respects to those who have lost their lives

as a result of covid, and their families and friends. across the nhs, captain sir tom has left a lasting legacy, like here in southampton, where some of the money he raised helped to pay for a hospital scheme to support vulnerable patients. loneliness was a real passion point for him, and again, i think this project in particular will help to support his legacy and what he really wanted to do as a result of his fundraising. applause the world war ii veteran made an impact on everyone, from cadets at the army foundation college where he was honorary colonel, to the players of the premier league who paid tribute before tonight's games. they played on doorsteps and applauded on streets up and down the country, and at hospitals, including bedford, which treated captain sir tom, they clapped with extra feeling.

nhs staff forever grateful for his fundraising and for lifting the spirits of the nation. judith moritz, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the daily telegraph's chief political correspondent christopher hope and columnist for the evening standard & times radio presenter ayesha hazarika. tomorrow's front pages. starting with. .. the telegraph says the chancellor, rishi sunak, fears scientific advisers are "moving the goalposts" on the requirements for ending lockdown amid a growing split within the government over the wait to lift restrictions. the i marks the news that more than ten million people in the uk —

15% of the population — has now received a first dose of a coronavirus vaccine. the metro quotes england's chief medical officer saying "�*we are past the peak�* of the pandemic. professor chris whitty hailed a continual steady decline in the death toll but warned infection rates remained incredibly high. according to the guardian, the nhs has been urged to rethink safety for thousands of front line staff after new research found that coughing generated at least ten times more infectious "aerosol " particles than speaking or breathing. the daily mail says the prime minister is backing its campaign for a statue of captain sir tom moore — who died aged 100 yesterday. and the times says consumers face higher prices on meat, cheese and gas heating under plans being drawn up by borisjohnson for new carbon taxes and charges. so let's begin.

promising in the hope that he might over deliver. i know plenty of senior people in government who told me that we can out fall ill at all fall ill adults done byjune the official line is september but i think they are trying to push everything out even on schools, he was asked could you open a full schools before march the 8th and the prime minister said no chance. he went to all the reasons why an answer. he is very clear, he is back in his box, he is being quite disciplined and that is really what teachers want. we want him to be and look for the sending up limbs when he can but i think it is so exhausted by various fall storms to be ruined by a new peak of the virus thatis be ruined by a new peak of the virus that is not doing it at it is quite reassuring and i think he is delivering what they said they would do so far and that is to the government credit. looking at the daily telegraph — government credit. looking at the daily telegraph front _ government credit. looking at the daily telegraph front page, - government credit. looking at the daily telegraph front page, soon i daily telegraph front page, soon that concerned scientists are goalpost lockdown. —— rishi sunak concerned. what does he mean by moving goalpost? the concerned. what does he mean by moving goalpost?— concerned. what does he mean by moving goalpost? the big issue for a lot of the tories _

or borisjohnson. he knows all this. this is the beginning and now we are past the pack and this is the beginning of the pressure we will get to reopen the economy as soon as possible starting with the front page and some raw telegraph. i page and some raw telegraph. i wonder how captured by the science has become a phrase where earlier we were talking about following the science. what is the difference there do you think? go blue i think it is quite irresponsible to be accusing the scientists a moving goalpost. accusing the scientists a moving u-oalost. ,.,, accusing the scientists a moving u-oalost. ., ., , ., goalpost. the goalpost are a shared endeavour- — goalpost. the goalpost are a shared endeavour. we _ goalpost. the goalpost are a shared endeavour. we have _ goalpost. the goalpost are a shared endeavour. we have to _ goalpost. the goalpost are a shared endeavour. we have to get - goalpost. the goalpost are a shared endeavour. we have to get through| endeavour. we have to get through this pandemic. we have one of the worst— this pandemic. we have one of the worst death rates in the world. definitely in europe. and we are and one of— definitely in europe. and we are and one of the _ definitely in europe. and we are and one of the deepest recessions i understand rishi sunak is very keen to get— understand rishi sunak is very keen to get the _ understand rishi sunak is very keen to get the economy open again. i have _ to get the economy open again. i have huge — to get the economy open again. i have huge sympathy for that. however. _ have huge sympathy for that. however, again, if you look at the lessons _ however, again, if you look at the lessons that we have learned, this stop and _ lessons that we have learned, this stop and starting an opening things up stop and starting an opening things up a wee _ stop and starting an opening things up a wee bit thinking it is going to
