that's why he believes if we do manage to solve global warming, it will be the most amazing thing humanity has ever done. justin rowlatt, bbc news. cricket — and england are heading for defeat in the second test against india in chennai. set a huge target of a82 to win — england lost early wickets to end the day on 53 for 3. our correspondentjoe wilson was watching the play. batting in chennai was near impossible, the pitch near unplayable. remember, no one told those two. after a nought in the first innings, it was unthinkable that virat kohli would fail this time. well, certainly unthinkable for him. but who is this? what's that? ravichandran ashwin having out—bowled england was now out—batting them. born and bred in this city, spectators loved his 50.

well, hold something back. england's spin bowlers stuck at it. kohli lbw�*d to moeen ali, out for 62. but ashwin was still batting, still bashing. he's absolutely nailed that. spectators still counting. not much evidence of social distance, but vivid excitement. he is on 97. just one more swing of the bat and there it was, a century. that seemed like the ultimate expression of india's position, until their worst batsman started hitting sixes. siraj, last man in, biggest shot of the day. england's team, like an apollo 11, now chase an uncharted target. well, joe, a82 to win. or ten wickets for india. suitable conditions for expert bowlers, it happens everywhere. three wickets here by the close, one

of them for that chennai champion. ravichandran ashwin would surely end with a win. 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 papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me to give their views and opinions are kate andrews, economics correspondent at the spectator and sienna rodgers, editor at labourlist. welcome to you both. let's show you the front pages we've got in so far. the front page of the telegraph headlines the prime minister's hopes that this lockdown will be the last. the metro repeats borisjohnson�*s words — that any easing

of restrictions has to be "cautious but irreversible". meanwhile the guardian focusses on the anger over the news that the former aide to the prime minister dominic cummings was instrumental in awarding a government contract to a firm run by his "friends". the front page of the financial times looks at the appointment of ngozi okonjo—iweala as the new head of the world trade organization. she becomes the first woman and the first african to take on the role. formerfinance ministerfor former finance minister for nigeria. and the daily mail reports harry and meghan are set to lose all their remaining royal patronages, after agreeing to what the paper calls "a tell—all interview" with us tv host oprah winfrey. march the 7th apparently is when thatis

lifted than they would like and he wasn't saying, "it is going to be cautious but irreversible", that is his kind of intention. he's saying they are going to be eased very slowly but hopefully, that will mean that this will be the final lockdown. that's the hope anyway. kate i suppose the problem is he has made himself hostage so many times by autumn, by christmas... he didn't say by easter but easter holiday line it seems to be emerging at the moment. ~ , ,., , ., ., line it seems to be emerging at the moment. ~ , , ., ., . moment. absolutely, having to cancel christmas for — moment. absolutely, having to cancel christmas for millions _ moment. absolutely, having to cancel christmas for millions of _ moment. absolutely, having to cancel christmas for millions of people, - moment. absolutely, having to cancel christmas for millions of people, he i christmas for millions of people, he knows _ christmas for millions of people, he knows he _ christmas for millions of people, he knows he is — christmas for millions of people, he knows he is in a difficult situation where _ knows he is in a difficult situation where he — knows he is in a difficult situation where he does not want to overpromise but under deliver. you are getting — overpromise but under deliver. you are getting the sense from certain tory backbenchers that there is some over correcting going on. there is a bit more _ over correcting going on. there is a bit more hope and optimism and that we need _ bit more hope and optimism and that we need to— bit more hope and optimism and that we need to treat these vaccines like the game _ we need to treat these vaccines like the game changers they are. the

the government prospect restrictions in communications about the virus, the fact that it is airborne and we are not talking about that very much. and then we heard from border staff that they were given the guidance on the new rules and how to enforce them just two and a half hours before they came into force at midnight. just a bit shambolic as usual. ,, ., ., ., ., usual. should we move on, kate commit to the ft? i wonder how excited you are about the world's first of the wto new head, ngozi okonjo—iweala. this is the former nigerian finance minister— this is the former nigerian finance minister who was the world trade organization chief that was finalised and she says her first play _ finalised and she says her first piayjust— finalised and she says her first play just to finalised and she says her first playjust to get the global economy moving _ playjust to get the global economy moving again. a big pledge and task and she _ moving again. a big pledge and task and she certainly has a lot on her piate _ and she certainly has a lot on her plate because of course, covid hasn't — plate because of course, covid hasn'tjust_ plate because of course, covid hasn'tjust had a health impact. it is had _ hasn'tjust had a health impact. it is had a _ hasn'tjust had a health impact. it is had a massive economic impact across— is had a massive economic impact across the — is had a massive economic impact across the world, major recessions in the _ across the world, major recessions in the uk, — across the world, major recessions in the uk, the largest economic
