this is bbc world news, the headlines borisjohnson is due to hold a final meeting with senior ministers and scientific advisers about how to ease england's lockdown — ahead of tomorrow's announcement. there's a new pledge that every adult in the uk will be offered their first dose of coronavirus vaccine by the end ofjuly — a month ahead of schedule. thousands of protesters have returned to the streets in myanmar, a day after security forces fired at a crowd, killing two people in the city of mandalay. a passengerjet engine has burst into flames above the us state of colorado. debris fell onto homes below — but the plane landed safely. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's jane. novak djokovic is attempting to win his ninth australian open title. the men's singles final
9:33 am
is underway in melbourne. the men's singles final is under way in melbourne. he's playing russia's daniil medvedev, who's yet to win a grand slam. djokovic got off to a fast start and won the first three games. medvedev then got himself back to 3—3, but the world number one djokovic has just taken the first set by seven games to five. liverpool have lost another match in the premier league, putting a dent in their hopes of defending their title, but everton are celebrating after an historic victory at anfield. it's the first time they've beaten liverpool in their own back yard this century.
9:34 am
joe lynskey was watching. everton had waited 22 years — their last win at anfield was in 1999. but in this fixture now, they will look back to the game in the lockdown, when everton went round to the neighbours' and finally won. they knew they faced a liverpool side in turbulence. they lost their last three here, and have a patched—up defence, so everton went at them. commentator: richarlison scores for everton! - he took it brilliantly! richarlison�*s opener was inside three minutes. he's their multi—million—pound brazilian who grew up in a favela, now writing his name in merseyside history. liverpool's problems keep appearing without warning. jordan henderson went down and onto the missing list. another player at centre—back, another injury. but everton�*s defenders were holding firm, with liverpool's second half pressure meaning last—ditch tackles and brave goalkeeping. the away side soaked it up, then countered. it's a penalty kick to everton! trent alexander—arnold couldn't get out the way. how he stopped calvin—lewin wasjudged enough for a penalty. gylfi sigurosson scored it. job done! the celebrations can start, gylfi sigurosson scores! it is a good gift for our supporters, the performance was good, we were focussed, and when we had the opportunity
9:35 am
we were clinical. we were pretty much alone in front of goal, and we didn't use it. who can you criticise for that apart from yourselves? we lost the game, we feel that deeply, but from tomorrow on i have to use that. everton's only regret was that they did it in the silence, but for liverpool, this will hurt. their title defence looks over, and for them this season, like anfield, feels empty. at the bottom of the table, there was a good win for fulham who beat sheffield united 1—0. that edges them a little closer to newcastle who are fourth from bottom. elsewhere chelsea drew with southampton and burnley played out a goalless draw with west brom. in scotland, rangers and celtic are both in action later. hibernian are in third, behind the old firm in the premiership table after they beat io—man
9:36 am
hamilton 2—0. martin boyle and josh doig with the goals, giving hibs their fourth league win in a row. wins elsewhere for aberdeen and stjohnstone, whilst st mirren drew with livingston. sir ben ainslie's dream of leading a british team in the america's cup goes on for at least another four years after they were comprehensively beaten in the qualifiers. italian team luna rossa took both races earlier today in auckland to win the series 7—1. they'll now face new zealand in the final next month. ainslie though, remains as determined as ever. everyone knows britain's never won the america's cup, it started off around the isle of wight and it is one event we have never won in sport. so that's a huge motivator for the team, myself included. we set out to achieve a target and we want to get that job done and we'll keep going until we get there. there was an extraordinary climax to northampton's win at exeter in rugby union's premiership. ben simmonds had the chance
9:37 am
to snatch a late victory for exeter with the last kick of the game. but he began his move, was too slow, and the delighted saints players whacked the ball into the stands to seal the win by a single point. the rest of the day's rugby results are on the bbc sport website and app. finally, there was a dramatic victory for great britain's men who've qualified for next years european basketball championship, by beating germany in the final few seconds. the score was tied at 81—all when luke nelson got the ball and won it with the final play. nelson, the hero for great britain. that result, coupled with france's victory over montenegro in the same group means gb qualify. that's all the sport. now on bbc news, it's time for the papers.
9:38 am
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be with me are geraldine scott, westminster correspondent for the yorkshire post and times radio presenter calum macdonald. let's first take a quick look at the front pages starting with "alljabbed byjuly" — is the headline in the daily mirror — stating the government's new target gives �*new hope for summer'. it's a similar headline on the mail on sunday. the paper says ministers are meeting today to agree the prime minister's strategy for lifting lockdown. the sunday express claims some mps fear that the prime minister's planned release of the restrictions is too cautious. �*a ban on outside sport can end' quotes the observer — that's according to a top scientist
9:39 am
advising borisjohnson. the paper also reports on soaring household poverty during the pandemic. the sunday telegraph carries a photograph of prince charles after visting his father, the duke of edinburgh, in hospital in central london. the sunday times leads on the rift between prince william and prince harry — claiming the duke of cambridge is �*really sad and genuinely shocked' at his brother's departure from royal life. the paper also reports on amazing surgery carried out in a british hospital — the world's first transplants in children that have used hearts brought back to life with a pioneering machine. so let's begin. geraldine, jabs for every uk adult by the 31st ofjuly, so accelerating the government target. in nearly a year of awful news this continuous really good news about how the vaccination programme is
9:40 am
going is a real tonic for the nation and every adult having at least one dose by the end ofjuly and it's all part of the road map we will hear from the pie minister tomorrow. all over 50s by april 15. —— the prime minister. hopefully that leads to the opening up of various other things we will hear about tomorrow as well. i things we will hear about tomorrow as well. , ,,.,, ., things we will hear about tomorrow aswell. , ., , , as well. i suppose, calum it puts more pressure — as well. i suppose, calum it puts more pressure on _ as well. i suppose, calum it puts more pressure on the _ as well. i suppose, calum it puts i more pressure on the government, as well. i suppose, calum it puts - more pressure on the government, the success of the vaccine roll—out, people will say we can end restrictions sooner rather than later and if you look at the observer they have one of the scientists advising the government talking about ending the ban on outside sport because of the data thatis outside sport because of the data that is all going in the right direction at the moment. i think takin: all direction at the moment. i think taking all of— direction at the moment. i think taking all of this _ direction at the moment. i think taking all of this together, - direction at the moment. i think taking all of this together, the l taking all of this together, the

9:42 am
perhaps— party aimed at the prime minister is perhaps not tapping in to the wider public— perhaps not tapping in to the wider public spirit and feeling right now which _ public spirit and feeling right now which clearly is, yes, we are all fatigued — which clearly is, yes, we are all fatigued with lockdown but actually we would far rather continue to be cautious— we would far rather continue to be cautious and just on the head once and for— cautious and just on the head once and for att— cautious and just on the head once and for all rather than bounce in and for all rather than bounce in and out — and for all rather than bounce in and out of— and for all rather than bounce in and out of lockdown is as we have experienced the last year. geraldine, if we look at the sunday times, just an idea at how people are looking forward to the summer particularly and the euros, an idea that the uk would offer to host the euros football tournament which was due to be played around europe and the uk would hold it all and i suppose that is an indication of some of the big events that could open up the summer. it some of the big events that could open up the summer.— some of the big events that could open up the summer. it feels like a world away — open up the summer. it feels like a world away from _ open up the summer. it feels like a world away from where _ open up the summer. it feels like a world away from where we - open up the summer. it feels like a world away from where we have - open up the summer. it feels like a l world away from where we have been and hosting the entire euros but also not looking at their capped number of fans that have been allowed in stadiums we have seen for they have partially opened up and things like that. another thing mentioned in the times story is
9:43 am
outdoor music festivals so those of vast, massive groups of people gather together that you probably can't imagine at the moment and i do think people will be a little reticent about it as well because we haven't done it for so long but there are some really interesting details in this case saying the document we will see tomorrow from the prime minister will be a 60 page document setting out exactly what needs to happen for each restriction to be lifted, it really sounds like it is going to be very detailed, very pinpointed and have all the pros and cons, the economic impact, social impact and everything that goes with it, and bt document. [30 goes with it, and bt document. do ou goes with it, and bt document. do you think we will get firm dates of all the be dave's the government is aiming for that it can roll back on if it has to? i aiming for that it can roll back on if it has to?— aiming for that it can roll back on if it has to? ~ ,., if it has to? i think the government has been advised _ if it has to? i think the government has been advised to _ if it has to? i think the government has been advised to look— if it has to? i think the government has been advised to look at - if it has to? i think the government has been advised to look at the - has been advised to look at the data, not dates, by a scientist and really it will depend on things like case rates, the number of deaths, the number of people vaccinated. i
9:44 am
wouldn't be surprised if there were some target dates in there. we have had some of them already but with the big caveat that if the data does not support it it will not be met. calum, in the mail on sunday there are decisions made and downing street pivotal to this. there have been talks in the past few days about various appointments and downing street and whether the partner of the prime minister carrie has too much influence. the headline, tory war over carrie power. it headline, tory war over carrie ower. . , , headline, tory war over carrie ower. , , ,, ., headline, tory war over carrie ower. .,, , , , , ., ., power. it has been bubbling away for a few da s power. it has been bubbling away for a few days and _ power. it has been bubbling away for a few days and the _ power. it has been bubbling away for a few days and the latest _ power. it has been bubbling away for a few days and the latest notable - a few days and the latest notable departure from downing street is otiver— departure from downing street is oliver lewis from the union unit in the last— oliver lewis from the union unit in the last couple of days just a couple — the last couple of days just a couple of weeks after it took the 'ob. couple of weeks after it took the job i_ couple of weeks after it took the job. i think there are definitely questions to be asked about the various— questions to be asked about the various influences on the pie minister. _ various influences on the pie minister, whether they are from his

9:50 am
in the it mentions that grant shapps is under quite a bit of pressure from the yorkshire chief constable. deaths have gone up from one in every 23 miles in 2017 to one in every 23 miles in 2017 to one in every 19 miles in 2019 so it really has been a massive rise. there has been a lot of campaigning around us. the sunday times, the brothers. william is sad and shocked at harry and that statement we got from harry and that statement we got from harry and megan. what do you make of all of that? —— meghan. i and megan. what do you make of all of that? -- meghan.— of that? -- meghan. i think this back and forth _ of that? -- meghan. i think this back and forth within _ of that? -- meghan. i think this back and forth within the - of that? -- meghan. i think this back and forth within the royall back and forth within the royal family— back and forth within the royal family is — back and forth within the royal family is fascinating on some level and some — family is fascinating on some level and some of the wadding from these sources— and some of the wadding from these sources close to the royals and the

9:53 am
documentary on mental health with harry so i imagine there will be a good few soft questions that are nice for them but i do not think it will be comfortable viewing for the royal family stop i think these things never are because they are quite private in lots of ways. but i think it has been recorded at a time when tensions are very high and billed as a tell all. there has not been much time for things to simmer dome and take a calm look at things —— simmer down and take a calm look at things. i do not think it will be at things. i do not think it will be a damp squib but we also know that harry has recorded carpool karaoke with james corden. the harry has recorded carpool karaoke with james corden.— with james corden. the history of ro al with james corden. the history of royal interviews _ with james corden. the history of royal interviews really _ with james corden. the history of royal interviews really think - with james corden. the history of| royal interviews really think about the interview with diana and the prince andrew interview with emily may close have not gone particularly well with the royal family. ——

9:55 am
the age of 99 and prince charles pictured after visiting the duke of edinburgh in hospital. we were told that hospital visits are generally only in exceptional circumstances that that particular hospital. yeah, than national _ that that particular hospital. yeah, than national restrictions - that that particular hospital. yeah, than national restrictions at - that that particular hospital. yeah, than national restrictions at family | than national restrictions at family members can visit in exceptional circumstances, end—of—life care and that kind of thing. there is no suggestion that is the case with the duke of edinburgh and the policy he is in good spirits for an abundance of —— and is only in hospitalfor caution. prince charles drove 100 miles from gloucestershire to be with his father under there are photographs of him leaving with what looked like to be tears in his eyes. the duke of edinburgh and the queen have been in their bubble and it may have been in their bubble and it may have been in their bubble and it may have been several months since charles saw his father anyway so it could have been quite an emotional
9:56 am
reunion as it stands but i think there are worries about the health of the duke of edinburgh. he is a man of 99 so everyone is wishing him well and hoping he pulls through. indeed, we all wish him well. thank you both of you for being with us and taking a look through today's sunday papers. my thanks again to my guest. goodbye from all of us. the weather for most of us today is not too bad and there are certainly a lot of bright weather and sunny weather around but it is not like that everywhere and we are expecting rain across south—west england, wales and eventually north west england. a stubborn front has moved on from the south and brought a lot of rainfall to places like southern
9:57 am
