rates of infection are lower than the rest of the country. and vaccination is stirring hope. that's from astrazeneca itself, so read that at bedtime, but read this one with a cup of tea when you get home. last spring, director of eyam was safe isolating last spring, the rector of eyam was safe isolating after his wife caught covid. hi, mike. hi. how are you? i'm all right, thanks. we're standing back from you. since then, they've mourned two parishioners who had covid and there is a pressing desire for normality. yeah, it's been tough. and i think this last few weeks have been the toughest in some ways because there was a real sense in the first lockdown, almost a blitz spirit, wasn't there, and people were going, "yeah, we can do this." now there is a weariness. the lord is my light
10:31 pm
and my salvation. in the same church where a distant predecessor preached in plague times, there is consolation via a daily online service. sheila vipond celebrated her 96th birthday under lockdown. and just as she was when i first met her, she is irrepressible. hello! how are you, my dear? it's been many months. yes, it has, but such a lot has happened since then. i always remember what my mother said, "i'm never lonely but i am alone." and when i think of that, then i feel uplifted. what do you say is the secret, your secret, to staying happy? well, i think being in the present and not trying to think too much of what might be, or what has been. butjust taking it in, all that's here now and making the most of it.
10:32 pm
nearly all the daily encounters that give the community life are suspended. but here, older and deeper bonds are proving resilient, waiting for the spring. fergal keane, bbc news, eyam. 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 mirror columnist susie boniface and the editor of the sunday express, michael booker. thank you both forjoining us on this friday evening. �*have they no respect?�*
10:33 pm
reads the front page of tomorrow's daily mail — as prince harry and meghan markle are stripped of their royal patronages, the paper reports on the sussexes response to buckingham palace — the couple insisting they will �*still live a life of service�* outside of the royal family. on the mirror, �*no way back�* for the couple. the paper says the queen is saddened by their decision to quit the royal family for what the paper calls a �*megabucks�* life in the states — but she insists they remain �*much—loved members of the family�*. the times describes harry and meghan as �*hitting back�* at the statement from buckingham palace about their permanent depature from royal duties — in their own statement the couple said that �*service is universal�*. as well as losing their patronages, prince harry will have to give up his military appointments, including captain general of the royal marines. meanwhile, the i is taking a look ahead to borisjohnson�*s announcement on monday, about how england will make it�*s way out of lockdown.
10:34 pm
the paper says the prime minister plans to allow people to socialise with a friend or family outside from march. as part of the road map out of lockdown, the telegraph says mrjohnson will announce that two different households will be allowed to gather outdoors by the easter weekend. and on the front page of the financial times... president biden declares that "�*america is back�*, with a pledge to repair what the paper describes as a �*battered�* nato alliance. at some of the front pages we arty have gone and as always thank you both forjoining us on this friday evening. what else were you going to be doing? let�*s face it. all of the papers focusing on harry and meghan. we are going to start with the daily mail and susie let�*s start with you. it's mail and susie let�*s start with you. it�*s a slightly different to the front page that your paper has. the male, no surprise with the stance that they are taking with the story.
10:35 pm
yakima most of the newspapers can�*t decide whether harry and meghan have been cast out or whether they left. no one really seems to be taking into mind the possibility that they have intentionally left of their own accord. an institution in which they were very unhappy. and it which, i don�*t think anyone of us are any people watching this tonight would have much pleasure if we were a member. it is not a fun thing being a member of the royalfamily member. it is not a fun thing being a member of the royal family unless you like shooting pheasants. they can�*t seem to decide what happened, and with the things that can be seen all the papers in the royalfamily will be most worried about is that when someone leaves the royal family, the choreography of press messaging ends. it�*sjust over. and there�*s an awful lot of briefing that appears to be happening, and what�*s from different newspapers as
10:36 pm
a senior sussex sources, ie the will that work with harry and meghan talk about how i should be kept on his captain general of the royal gorge and how they still intend to represent some of the organisations they were affiliated with but in some different capacities. and of course this really cutting statement that they issued only two minutes after the palace did. normally when two different royal palaces or different members have something to say they exchange their press releases and i�*ll get signed off, everything is agreed to. it�*s read through very carefully to ensure there�*s no ambiguities or constructive ambiguity in the text. here it seems that there just been something very pithy thrown out by the sussex side.— the sussex side. their quote was sa in: the sussex side. their quote was saying that _ the sussex side. their quote was saying that service _ the sussex side. their quote was saying that service is _ the sussex side. their quote was saying that service is universal. i the sussex side. their quote was i saying that service is universal. so the daily mail very much taking this line that has a no respect? susie, your paper is quoting saying that the queen no way back, michael do

stress the duke of edinburgh expected to remain in hospital over the weekend and into next week. it�*s for observation and rest, it being understood that this is an abundance of caution and he remains in good spirits. just to stress that. let�*s have a look now at the ft, because over has been, according to the front page of the rocks by this landmark ruling. they been arguing that they are drivers are freelance, but it looks like they are workers. the repercussions of this are pretty immense. . . the repercussions of this are pretty immense. , . , , ., the repercussions of this are pretty immense. , . ,, ., ., , _ immense. israel less than happy about this decision _ immense. israel less than happy about this decision saying - immense. israel less than happy about this decision saying that l about this decision saying that costs will go up now if you want to get an uber. but indeed, if other companies have to start treating their workers reasonably and that will put up the costs that we will have to pay for delivery firms and things like that. which is perhaps quite reasonable but a lot of people

also complained about it. the other thing up he mentioned so far is that tax people taking in interest in this. already been looking at the freelancers and the gig economy and trying to make companies take more responsibility for the people they employ on a casual basis. in the taxman will be very interested to find out if the people that work in the gig economy should be paying more tax. and they will come up to the little guy come the freelancers and self—employed and probably not so much for corporations, of course it should be the other way around. and talking about competition to bss, talk us through that. thea;r and talking about competition to bss, talk us through that. they are auoin to bss, talk us through that. they are going to have _ bss, talk us through that. they are going to have to — bss, talk us through that. they are going to have to work _ bss, talk us through that. they are going to have to work out - bss, talk us through that. they are going to have to work out how- bss, talk us through that. they are | going to have to work out how much money— going to have to work out how much money they— going to have to work out how much money they will be owing across the company _ money they will be owing across the company. notjust the people that took this— company. notjust the people that took this back in 2016, is going to be over— took this back in 2016, is going to be over drivers across the country and it's _ be over drivers across the country and it's a — be over drivers across the country and it's a great victory for the little — and it's a great victory for the little girl— and it's a great victory for the little girl and little guy. they have — little girl and little guy. they have stood up against this company

bearing in mind that the words being used to describe this, escape, exits, it�*s not what we are actually looking at. we are looking at a process in which the vaccine will start to kick in and have an effect in the next few months. we still need to vaccinate more people and even when we are all vaccinated we are suffering a global disease, the only way out of is global and it�*s if everybody starts getting vaccinated all over the world. britain has got a £10 billion foreign aid budget which they should be spending every single penny of on vaccines, we are only spending a tenth on vaccinating and it�*s not good enough. we tenth on vaccinating and it's not good enough-— tenth on vaccinating and it's not aood enou:h. ~ . , w tenth on vaccinating and it's not aood enou:h. . ., , .,~ ., tenth on vaccinating and it's not mad enou.h_ . ., , ., ~' ., ., good enough. we have been taken to a rofessor of good enough. we have been taken to a professor of the _ good enough. we have been taken to a professor of the road _ good enough. we have been taken to a professor of the road today _ good enough. we have been taken to a professor of the road today and - good enough. we have been taken to a professor of the road today and he - professor of the road today and he was saying that over 100 countries still have not had any doses of the vaccine. michael, this is something, we need to be very aware of because if covid is around it�*s around everywhere. you�*ve got to get rid of, it�*s be stopped.
