hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the 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. few more papers have come in since we last spoke. the final lockdown — the front page of the telegraph reports the prime minister's words at a press conference earlier — as he announced a roadmap out of this lockdown will be set out on monday. the metro repeat�*sjohnson�*s words — that the path out will be �*cautious but irreversible�*. the times looks at new figures which suggest vaccination is already reducing hospital admissions, deaths and transmission

of coronavirus. �*border farce' — the i newspaper's front page says there's already chaos one day into the new quarantine hotels for travellers returning to the uk from 33 red list countries. 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 organisation. she becomes the first woman and the first african to take on the role. 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.

welcome back to you both. unusually, we are going to start with a royal story and in fact that male story, sienna are you following the twists and turns of the exiled or self—imposed exile of harry and megan? self-imposed exile of harry and mean? �* ., ., ., self-imposed exile of harry and mean? ., ., ., ., megan? i'm not. i sort of have to because my _ megan? i'm not. i sort of have to because my mother— megan? i'm not. i sort of have to because my mother is _ megan? i'm not. i sort of have to because my mother is obsessed i megan? i'm not. i sort of have to . because my mother is obsessed with harry and megan is the only reason i know anything about their lives to him about me myself i have zero interest in it. but yes, we have this story... 50 interest in it. but yes, we have this story- - -_ interest in it. but yes, we have thissto , , this story... so may people so they have no interest _ this story... so may people so they have no interest and _ this story... so may people so they have no interest and can _ this story. .. so may people so they have no interest and can talk- this story... so may people so they have no interest and can talk for. have no interest and can talk for hours about it. just talk us through what you think about this. this interview i think it�*s coming out march the 7th every other broadcaster here and around the world would have given their teeth for it. , , ,.,

this would seem logical but also good news. this would seem logical but also good news-— this would seem logical but also aood news. 1, _., good news. right, so boris johnson has said that _ good news. right, so boris johnson has said that the _ good news. right, so boris johnson has said that the data _ good news. right, so boris johnson has said that the data becomes - has said that the data becomes clearer with every day that passes. have not got all the data yet but it�*s showing that vaccination is already reducing admissions, and transmissions. transmissions is a key way because we did not know what effective vaccine have on that and so a sympathetic transmission as well. labour has been calling for teachers to be prioritised in the next phase of the vaccine. we don�*t know whether that�*s going to happen there�*s just some hints that occupations might be to come get it to prioritise but this data around transmission in places like schools it�*s going to be really, really key to what�*s happening next and what happens in terms of the unlocking as well as the pressure on the nhs. so

this story says that there is lower rates than those that have been vaccinated from a some genetic infection, and that the jabs are producing transmission. so that�*s really good news. on the other side of things we�*ve got this kind of mess of the hotel quarantine system. the big fear at the moment with covid is that the vaccine roll—up is going brilliantly but much better than expected, and the nhs particularly has to be applauded for that. but at the same time the big fear is what about new mutations that come into the country? and if this quarantine system is not super effective that�*s going to happen. and then a lot of good work will be undone. i and then a lot of good work will be undone. ., ., ,~' i., ., ,., , undone. i would ask you about this university survey — undone. i would ask you about this university surveyjust _ undone. i would ask you about this university surveyjust looking - undone. i would ask you about this university surveyjust looking at. university survey just looking at the university surveyjust looking at the take up of vaccines, and just how it fell off a cliff almost when it came to people from different diverse backgrounds. that must be

in recent years globalisation and what the wto stands for has been really criticised because it has left so many people behind. so many people have not seen the effects, good effects of that that were promised to them. and then with this pandemic it�*s kind of change things without people talking about how vaccine nationalism could be damaging across the world because everyone is so interconnected. in such an obvious way because is literally dependent on other people public lives and other people�*s health. everyone is so connected and these the things that they have been talking about and addressing in her role. ., , ., ., . ., . , talking about and addressing in her role. ., , ., . , ., role. right to sue for academics who feel they are — role. right to sue for academics who feel they are denied _ role. right to sue for academics who feel they are denied free _ role. right to sue for academics who feel they are denied free speech. - feel they are denied free speech. there was a story about st andrew�*s on eight gender equality course of there. the same could apply to

good evening. chelsea are up to fourth in the premier league after a 2—0 win over newcastle at stamford bridge this evening. timo werner�*s cross eventually rebounded out to olivier giroud who opened the scoring after half an hour. then relief for werner who got the second, to secure his first league goal in 15 matches. chelsea move to within 11 points off leaders manchester city marking another victory for thomas tuchel who remains unbeaten in the league since taking over. west ham are up to fifth after a 3—0 win over bottom side sheffield united. they took the lead with a penalty, before doubling their advantage 12 minutes after half time when aaron creswell�*s corner was headed in by issa diop. ryan fredericks added a third late on. west ham are now level on points with chelsea. their best top flight finish came back in 1986 when they finished third. it feels good.

i am smiling about it but being at the top brings another pressure, you want to stay there as well. i think we can play much better, i think they have at least another gear to go. i will be pushing them, i will not be accepting bits of tinnitus performance because i a massive step back for us. i have been positive in terms of the play recently, the results we have had. i think it is a big step back for us tonight. you can't gift teams in form or any team in the opportunity that we gifted to west ham united tonight and obviously it was a comfortable win. champions league football returns tomorrow night and we�*re into the last 16 knockout stages of the tournament. liverpool are the first british side in action. their first leg is away to leipzig tomorrow, which will actually be played in budapest, because of the coronavirus travel restrictions in germany. that�*s also why the liverpool manager, jurgen klopp wasn�*t able to attend his mother�*s funeral last week. but he insists that despite everything going on in his personal life and the champions losing their last three

in a row, he�*s doesn�*t need a break from football. i might not look like this because the weather is not cool and i am white and the beard gets more and more grey, all of these kind of things. yes i don�*t sleep a lot my eyes but i am full of energy for us at the situation is a massive challenge. i am ready, the boys are ready, and we will give her absolutely everything to sort it. thanks for all the support. i don�*t really see it but people tell me and so i am very grateful for these kind of things. but they can really think about other things because nobody has to worry about me. scotland�*s first minister, nicola sturgeon has urged football to "make sure it�*s house is in order". it�*s follows rangers launching an internal investigation after a party at the weekend had to be broken up by police. covid—19 lockdown restrictions means that no indoor mixing of households is allowed in scotland under normal circumstances. rangers said they were "aware of an alleged

incident" and would make "no further comment," as they investigate. can i say to football and sport generally, please make sure your house is in order? because it shouldn't take me standing here to stay to highly paid footballers that you've got to obey the rules. the fact that it does take that is hugely frustrating to me, and i don't care which team it is. it's not on, so please stop breaking the rules. england�*s cricketers are heading for a heavy defeat in the second test in chennai. india are odds on to square the four—match series with still two full days left to play. england need a82 to win. no side has managed that in the history of test cricket. they�*ve already lost openers rory burns, dom sibley and nightwatchman, jack leach and will resume tomorrow morning on 53 for three. the pitch — which has offered huge help for the spinners — has come under criticism, but england�*s spin bowling consultant, wasn�*t offering any excuses. you�*re on the subcontinent,

wickets are firm, they don�*t seam around as much, it doesn�*t swing as much, so that has to be something in the wicket. this one has accelerated bit quickly, but that is also playing on the subcontinent, just like when teams come to england or go to other places in the world where it seems the wickets are different, it�*s just cricket in different parts of the world. defending champion shaun murphy and judd trump are both through to the second round of the welsh open snooker at celtic manor. in tonight�*s matches mark selby had a moment to forget as he missed the final pink whilst on for a maximum 147! even his opponent barry pinches felt the pain!! luckily for selby, he still went on to win the match by four frames to one. finally — some slightly better covid related news for you today — as ambitious plans have been revealed to get fans back into sport in britain. it would involve testing

and social distancing but horse—racing could lead the way. chester racecourse are proposing to allow up to 15,000 spectators to attend their three—day may festival. earlier we spoke to the chester racecourse ceo richard thomas. ultimately, the sign off is the government, they need to tell us that will be allowed. there were a number of private tests before walked down the did not happen in the end. and i think what we are saying is with the testing as well it gives us extra security that means people can come comfortably. and we want to bring it to the forefront rather than dealing with it as a beacon support, more to be like an open outside area where people will be encouraged to go and meet their friends in a socially distanced way. and that�*s all the sport, bye for now. hello. well, it�*s frost free out there again, second night in a row. it�*s certainly turned very mild across the uk.

monday was a mild day and tuesday is going to be every bit as mild. but the mild south—westerly winds have also brought some rain. this is where our weather is coming from, all the way, in fact, from the south almost. last week, it was all coming out of eastern europe, those cold easterly winds, but a complete reversal in the weather patterns. in fact, over the next few days, not only is the weather going to be coming in from the southwest, these passes of mild air, towards the weekend, it looks like a dip in thejet stream will make the air come right from the south. so that means that those temperatures will shoot up to quite possibly 17 celsius. but at the moment, we have the mild south—westerly winds, and they are strong. off the coast of scotland, gusting to 65 mph. on top of that, we�*ve got plenty of rain splashing its way through the country during the early hours. these are the morning temperatures between 5—10 celsius. so, on tuesday, the low pressure is sweeping just to the northwest of scotland.

gale force winds there in the hebrides, gusting again to 65 mph and frequent heavy showers. now, this is a weather front here. it�*s just clearing east anglia and the southeast in the afternoon. it may take time before it clears away completely, and then behind it, it�*s a mixture of sunny spells and showers, and the temperature is between 10—12 celsius. so even for february, quite a mild day. and as i say, that rain will take time to clear away from the southeast. here�*s a look at wednesday�*s weather forecast. one low—pressure moves away — in fact, it�*s over iceland — and another one replaces it. in fact, we are going to see a series of low pressure coming our way, bringing spells of rain, weatherfronts, this is the beginning of that really unsettled spell of weather, which will then turn very mild weather as we head into the weekend. but look at wednesday, lots of showers, outbreaks of rain

heading toward some southern parts of the country. temperatures, again, fairly similar around 10—12 celsius. now, the rise in the temperature will be very significant as we head towards saturday and sunday. that�*s the day where in some southern and eastern areas, it could hit 17 celsius.
