hello, this is bbc world news. the headlines. lawyers acting for donald trump in his us senate impeachment trial have concluded their defence. they say the accusation that the former president incited an insurrection was a monstrous life. they argue that the attack on congress was preplanned, and is not possible to incite something that was already going to happen. one lawyer accused prosecutors of misrepresenting the president by selectively editing clips and tweets. more protests against the military coup in myanmar, as the un human rights council calls for the immediate release of aung san suu kyi. and others who have been arbitrarily detained. and the former head of the european center back mario draghi has accepted the post of italian prime minister and announced his cabinet. it comes after supporters of italy's biggest party, 5—star,

gave mr draghi his backing. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are daily telegraph columnist madeline grant and jason beattie, the assistant editor at the daily mirror. hello again. a quick look at the front pages. and we are going to start with the times. according to the government production seen by the government production seen by the paper, the number of coronavirus patients in hospital is due to have over the next month and that's are due to fall to levels not seen since october. the telegraph quotes the health secretary, who said that thanks to the vaccine and new treatments, by the end

of the year, covid could be no worse than regular flu. the i's top story is the government's much—anticipated plan for leaving lockdown, which the paper says has three stages of reopening. the daily mail carries the news that the uk is on course to reach its target of vaccinating 15 million adults by tomorrow, 48 hours ahead of schedule. the sun has the tantalising helene that pubs and restaurants could be a lot to open outdoor areas in april if the number of infections continues to fall. tantalising, but will people fall for it? we are going to come to the sun in a moment. let's start our chat with the telegraph. and we hope to live with cove and flew by the end of the year. i know it is your paper of a madeline, butjason, if you could give us your thoughts on this, first off? i give us your thoughts on this, first off? ~ , , give us your thoughts on this, first off? ~ , off? i think this is probably speaking — off? i think this is probably speaking about _ off? i think this is probably speaking about the - off? i think this is probably i speaking about the inevitable. off? i think this is probably - speaking about the inevitable. we got an indication of this from professorjonathan van tam at a

press conference this week, when he talked about the possibility of having a kind of pop—upjab once a yearin having a kind of pop—upjab once a year in same way you have a flu jab once a year. and this may be what we have to live with with the virus. the bit of caution i would offer is twofold — one, flu does kill still, and the other bit is it will really depend on the variance. if the variance are particularly vera lynn and the vaccinations do not keep up with them, it looks like they are at the moment which is heartening, that would change the whole dynamic of what the health secretary saying —— particularly vera —— virulent. on the plus side, if

this is a plus side, we get to a situation where the downsides of covid are much... this situation where the downsides of covid are much. . ._ situation where the downsides of covid are much... this point, we are auoin to covid are much... this point, we are going to see — covid are much... this point, we are going to see some — covid are much... this point, we are going to see some key _ covid are much... this point, we are going to see some key figures - covid are much... this point, we are | going to see some key figures taking part in some very public appearances to try and encourage hesitant communities to take up the job. that's right. there has been a lot of this_ that's right. there has been a lot of this so— that's right. there has been a lot of this so far, there has been a very— of this so far, there has been a very powerful video from various mps of ethnic_ very powerful video from various mps of ethnic minority, urging communities to take up the vaccine, because _ communities to take up the vaccine, because one — communities to take up the vaccine, because one of the most heartening ihingsm _ because one of the most heartening ihingsm i_ because one of the most heartening things... i feel like the newspaper headlines— things... i feel like the newspaper headlines we have in front of us, it feels _ headlines we have in front of us, it feels like _ headlines we have in front of us, it feels like a — headlines we have in front of us, it feels like a very optimistic day. it is all_ feels like a very optimistic day. it is all talk— feels like a very optimistic day. it is all talk of reopening people making — is all talk of reopening people making their deadlines with the vaccination and everything seems to be on _ vaccination and everything seems to be on course, and one of the levels of success— be on course, and one of the levels of success seems to be high levels of success seems to be high levels of take-up, — of success seems to be high levels of take—up, something like 90% of people _ of take—up, something like 90% of people invited to take of the vaccine _ people invited to take of the vaccine have done so. but this is one of— vaccine have done so. but this is one of the —

reasons to be optimistic in the last couple of days. as macklin said, the r rate is down, the rate of infections is under control, the number of people going to hospital is falling in the number of people dying is falling —— as madeline said. it is still next ordinarily hide. to put that in perspective, australia are just under 1000 that since the pandemic began last year, so it is still here and we have to be very careful. on the saying that, the lockdown, it is working and we can all start to look about how we come out of this situation, but this is a difficultjudgement call. we all want to sit in the sun and have all want to sit in the sun and have a drink in the spring. it would be a wonderful thing to do. god knows i've missed it much as anybody, but if we get this timing wrong

mental mistake to introduce this stamp duty holiday in the first place. it was introduced last year. since then, it has caused £2.8 million... to put that in perspective, that is more money than the government is helping spending on people trapped in buildings because they need dangerous cladding removed. the policy has not worked, it has proved counterproductive, because all it has done is drive up house prices. all the savings have been literally wiped out by that. and it does not address the fun mental problem in this country with housing, which is a lack of supply and a lack of afford housing —— fundamental problem for it does not work. it rewards people who primarily already have wealth, when we have inequality in this country, and has proved ridiculously and spends in. i never saw the point of it. ithink spends in. i never saw the point of

to remember that behind these statistics, it's to remember that behind these statistics, its people who have lost theirjobs, businesses who have shut up shop, families struggling to make ends meet. it's a much bigger picture. but the realfear of make ends meet. it's a much bigger picture. but the real fear of course is this doesn't take into account the full time spent in the latest lockdown, and the next set of figures could be worse. it poses quite a difficult dilemma for rishi sunak. the furlough schemas do to come to an end at the of april. does he continue it? you can see even more people losing theirjobs and more people losing theirjobs and more economic damage. so, it's pretty grim. we now have the highest number of deaths in europe from covid, and one of the deepest recessions, and that's another not

minutes to go. but the pick of the goals was this — caroline weir lobbing the keeper. so, city move into second — a point above united — and nowjust two points behind the leaders chelsea. from a manchester derby to a lancashire derby — preston have taken the honours against blackburn tonight winning by two goals to one at ewood park, which moves them into the top half of the championship. it was a former blackburn loanee, greg cunningham, who gave preston the lead with this fine effort. they doubled their lead before half—time with this header from liam lindsay. blackburn pulled one back minutes later through an adam armstrong penalty, but it finished 2—1. next to the cricket, just over five hours to go until play begins in chennai. england have made four changes to the squad for their second test against india. as part of their rotation system, jimmy anderson is rested after his starring role in the first match. jos buttler has returned home

and jofra archer is injured. stuart broad and ben foakes come in, as does moeen ali in place of dom bess, who's been dropped. but leaving out anderson was probably the toughest call for the captain. my heart and the selectors' hearts were leaning towards him playing, but looking at the big picture of the series and how important jimmy is the english cricket, i think getting him absolutely ready to give him the best chance of playing the last two. he's jumping to get an opportunity. we feel like the players are there to come in and perform. meanwhile, the india vice—captain ajinkya rahane says he expects a lot of movement early on on the chennai pitch tomorrow, and he's also brushed aside concerns over his batting form after being bowled out cheaply in both innings of the first test.

in the end, the leaders bristol narrowly came out on top at gloucester, winning18—17, jake heenan here with one of the bristol tries. the win moves them six points clear of second—placed exeter chiefs for now. gloucester remain rooted to the bottom of the table with just one win from their opening nine matches. in the night's other game, bath pulled off a surprise victory at sale. they were winners by 27 points to 22, with tom de glanville amongst the try scorers. there's more on those matches on the bbc sport website. ltam for india england and that second test which you can follow there, too, remember. but from me and team here, that is all your sport for now. goodnight. hello. for most of us, this week is going to feel bitterly cold. that's because we'll have very strong winds. it's going to be windy, pretty much both saturday and sunday. but by the end of the weekend, we'll start to see some milder air making inroads, particularly across more western parts.

but we start this morning off on a settled and bright note across eastern areas. windy and very cold, mind you. further west, for northern ireland, some disruptive snow to move in through the morning period. accumulations up to 5—10 cm and that snow will be blowing around and the strong winds drifting in places. the snow will then slowly move eastwards, affecting western parts of scotland, into wales and the southwest of england, but it won't reach central or eastern areas so, here, it'll stay dry, but cloud cover will move in again in the afternoon, so it will turn a bit grey. a very windy, gusty day for all areas. factor in those strong winds with these sorts of temperatures, then it's going to feel bitterly cold wherever you are. these are the feel—like temperatures. it could feel even like —10 celsius across some spots of the east. so, a very cold day to come. as we move through saturday night, it stays windy and cold. there will be further rain, sleet and snow across northern and western areas. signs of something a little less cold just pushing into the far west of the country, but central and eastern areas,

another very cold night especially when you factor in the wind. as we head into sunday, we've got a fresh tangle of weather fronts, bringing more rain, and it will be of rain because here, the milder air will start to make inroads. gradually, it will reach eastern areas but it will take its time. sunday, a bit of an east—west divide with temperatures very cold across the east, and any rain moving across northern and eastern areas falling on frozen services is likely to cause a significant risk of ice. beware of that. through sunday, it looks like it'll be rather cloudy for most of the day, outbreaks of rain pushing into northern and western areas. we'll see gales developing around irish sea coasts through the north channel and across western scotland, but a windy day wherever you are. signs of something much milder pushing into the west, double figure values. still quite cold across the east and southeast. as we head into the new week, mild air winds out. double figures for all areas.

it will be completely settled. there will be some rain at times for some of us in the night will be much milder. the night will be much milder. -- it —— it won't be completely settled.
