the country's deposed leader aung san suu kyi has been charged with two more offences. the us is threatening further sanctions against the military leaders. the hunt for the person carrying the new brazilian variant of covid into the uk is continuing. but the prime minister has defended the government's policy on protecting borders. the former president of france, nicholas sarkozy, has been sentenced to three years in jail, two of them suspended, for corruption. a court in paris convicted him for trying to bribe a judge. and the duke of edinburgh has been transferred to st bart's hospital in london for tests on a pre—existing heart condition. he was driven by ambulance after almost two weeks at another london hosptial. —— another london hospital.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are olivia utley, assistant comment editor for the telegraph and uk political editor at politico jack blanchard. welcome back to you both. we have a few more titles in. let's just flick through some of them. the telegraph's front page focuses on the uk's covid vaccination roll—out — with figures showing the number of over—80s being admitted to high—dependency units falling sharply. it's a similar lead for the i. it reports that the pfizer and oxford vaccines cut the risk of hospitalisations from covid by 80% for over—80s. the guardian says the health secretary used today's downing street briefing to challenge other countries�* scepticism of the oxford/astrazeneca jab,

as it revealed by some measures it is slightly more effective than the pfizer vaccine. for the front page of the times brussels has pledged a vaccination passport scheme which will be open to british travellers in time for the summer holidays. the metro headline "philip heart fears" — the front page of metro reports that concern for the duke of edinburgh is growing after he was transferred to st barthomelow�*s hospital in london which offers specialist heart treatment. the mirror reports a change in the royal mood following the duke's move — a palace source tells the paper that staff and the royal family are united in their prayers. and the front page of the financial times shows the former french president, nicolas sarkozy being sentenced to three years in prison, two suspended, for corruption and influence peddling.

so, let's begin. welcome back to you both. olivia what's start with your paper, the telegraph commit fewer than ten covered patients sent to icu each day. i think you and jack were on with me injanuary when we were talking about these vaccine breakthroughs and saying what good news it was. who would have thought thatjust news it was. who would have thought that just a few news it was. who would have thought thatjust a few months later, these results would have been just quite so remarkable. i results would have been “ust quite so remarkableh results would have been 'ust quite so remarkableh so remarkable. i know, it is incredible. _ so remarkable. i know, it is incredible. not _ so remarkable. i know, it is incredible. not even - so remarkable. i know, it is incredible. not even a - so remarkable. i know, it is incredible. not even a few. so remarkable. i know, it is - incredible. not even a few months later it is literally six or seven weeks later from this awful peak at the beginning ofjanuary and now here we are with deaths and hospitalisations right down by the day and as we can see, it is not just come at the peak would be falling anyway without the vaccine but we can see how effective these vaccines are, because that is what the telegraph reports, the over 80s, the very first group to get the

passengers, they hospitalisations have gone down were now under 80s are taking —— overtaking over 80s and hospitalisations because it is so effective and as we get this vaccine act, it will be the same story across the board better news than we can possibly hope for. jack there were — than we can possibly hope for. jack there were a _ than we can possibly hope for. jack there were a few blips over the last two or three weeks where we were warned that supply issues might cause a few ripples which they appear to but now we have got them talking about doubling the vaccination rate. i talking about doubling the vaccination rate.— talking about doubling the vaccination rate. i think it was alwa s vaccination rate. i think it was always going _ vaccination rate. i think it was always going to _ vaccination rate. i think it was always going to go _ vaccination rate. i think it was always going to go up - vaccination rate. i think it was always going to go up and - vaccination rate. i think it was i always going to go up and down vaccination rate. i think it was - always going to go up and down a little _ always going to go up and down a little bit _ always going to go up and down a little bitjust because these things are in_ little bitjust because these things are in so_ little bitjust because these things are in so much demand. but i would not let_ are in so much demand. but i would not let that — are in so much demand. but i would not let that bind anyone for one second — not let that bind anyone for one second to — not let that bind anyone for one second tojust how not let that bind anyone for one second to just how well the government has done on this in terms of the _ government has done on this in terms of the sheer_ government has done on this in terms of the sheer volume of vaccine that it's managed to get into the country and then— it's managed to get into the country and then into people's arms better than any— and then into people's arms better than any comparable country in the world, _ than any comparable country in the world, it _ than any comparable country in the world, it is — than any comparable country in the world, it is an extraordinary achievement and a real bounce back for a government that obviously of a

problem _ for a government that obviously of a problem last year with the consequences of so many people. they put this— consequences of so many people. they put this out— consequences of so many people. they put this out of the bag and it is fantastie— put this out of the bag and it is fantastic news and to see the real world _ fantastic news and to see the real world data — fantastic news and to see the real world data now as we are seeing for the first— world data now as we are seeing for the first time, showing this stuff really— the first time, showing this stuff really works and so many people, their— really works and so many people, their parents or grandparents will have had — their parents or grandparents will have had these jabs now and they will know — have had these jabs now and they will know now looking at this data 'ust will know now looking at this data just how — will know now looking at this data just how much less chance there is of them _ just how much less chance there is of them getting seriously ill with covid _ of them getting seriously ill with covid and — of them getting seriously ill with covid and that isjust of them getting seriously ill with covid and that is just such a wonderful thing for everyone and we can really— wonderful thing for everyone and we can really start to look forward now _ can really start to look forward now the — can really start to look forward now. the sun is feeling a little bit warmer, — now. the sun is feeling a little bit warmer, as— now. the sun is feeling a little bit warmer, as nick was with the daffodils— warmer, as nick was with the daffodils are coming up and you are starting _ daffodils are coming up and you are starting to— daffodils are coming up and you are starting to feel better about this. you and — starting to feel better about this. you and i— starting to feel better about this. you and i talked about daffodils, there is another coming through the frozen ground. u nto unto the guardian because the politics has been played really quite badly in this issue. between us and europe especially. i want you to talk us through the guardian's story and also what this will mean

potentially for the economics of the british scientific sector in this country because we do appear to have a world leading reputation when it comes to tracking viruses like this. yeah, we do and we also have created with astrazeneca the vaccine which is the easiest to store and in some studies are suggesting perhaps the most effective. so that amazing news but as we know, as the guardian is pointing out again, both angela merkel and emmanuel macron have been pouring cold water on the astrazeneca vaccine up until now and matt hancock today as the guardian says has been urging them to rethink given this real—world data from britain. and to start advocating use of the astrazeneca vaccine and the over 65 and it really is quite shocking that france and germany

have been holding off doing that. we had mccrone calling the vaccine because i effective, what does that mean? it isjust as because i effective, what does that mean? it is just as effective if not more effective than the other vaccines. —— more effective than the other vaccines. -- quad site effective. we see here in britain concrete evidence that it works well in the over 80s, evidence that it works well in the over80s, it evidence that it works well in the over 80s, it is quite shocking and matt hancock is right to be gently trying to cajole them into changing to now and it will be quite and embarrassing u—turn. but the sooner they do it the better because as we were saying in the last time, we need to get the whole world vaccinated for it to be lasting properly. vaccinated for it to be lasting --roerl ., ., vaccinated for it to be lasting ”roerl ., ., vaccinated for it to be lasting --roerl . ., .,~ ., properly. jack, what do you make of those comments _ properly. jack, what do you make of those comments about _ properly. jack, what do you make of those comments about quad - properly. jack, what do you make of those comments about quad site i those comments about quad site efficiency of over 65 and indeed angela merkel and even ursula von der leyen? irate angela merkel and even ursula von der le en? ~ ., ., , angela merkel and even ursula von derle en? ~ ., .,, angela merkel and even ursula von der le en? ~ ., ., , ., der leyen? we have to be careful to distinuuish der leyen? we have to be careful to distinguish different _ der leyen? we have to be careful to distinguish different things - der leyen? we have to be careful to distinguish different things here. . der leyen? we have to be careful to distinguish different things here. i l distinguish different things here. i think— distinguish different things here. i think the — distinguish different things here. i think the german government were

it to the _ government that has not been giving it to the over 65 have been doing that but— it to the over 65 have been doing that but clearly the britain has this one — that but clearly the britain has this one right and you heard professor van—tam talk about it at the press — professor van—tam talk about it at the press conference this evening saving _ the press conference this evening saying that we waited up and thought it would _ saying that we waited up and thought it would work and he was blooming right _ it would work and he was blooming right i_ it would work and he was blooming riuht. , ., ,., it would work and he was blooming riuht. , ., �* right. i remember also wasn't it gavin williamson _ right. i remember also wasn't it gavin williamson saying - right. i remember also wasn't it gavin williamson saying we - right. i remember also wasn't it - gavin williamson saying we managed to get these vaccines are quickly thanks to brexit or? lets park that anyway. let's go on the times. olivia additional pass to an offer tourists got the government doesn't want to make these mandatory, they have always said for bridge to travel, it is likely they will need some sort of sort of evidence of either having had the vaccination or testing negative. yeah, i think quite a lot of us have been hesitant about vaccine passports because of the possibility of discrimination. it would seem unfair that if the under 40s and their parents and grandparents were going out on holiday and we are sort of stuck in the house having sacrifice quite a lot which i hope

it doesn't help the under 40s as much as the older generation but i think the story in the times today is quite positive because it suggests that it would notjust be a vaccination passport which is what i think most people are worried about. it is just we are taking into account your health status so if you had recently a negative covid to you could also be given the green light to go away which i think would make vaccine passports a lot more palatable for quite a lot of critics. but it will open pandora's box having for travel abroad because businesses in the uk might be keen to bring in business passports and it will be hard for the government to stop them once they are being used for overseas travel routinely. quick thought from you, jack? it used for overseas travel routinely. quick thought from you, jack? it was alwa s quick thought from you, jack? it was always going — quick thought from you, jack? it was always going to _ quick thought from you, jack? it was always going to happen, _ quick thought from you, jack? it was always going to happen, it _ quick thought from you, jack? it was always going to happen, it is - quick thought from you, jack? it was always going to happen, it is a - always going to happen, it is a standard _ always going to happen, it is a standard. a lot of countries you have _ standard. a lot of countries you have to — standard. a lot of countries you have to get certificates in places where _ have to get certificates in places where there is yellow fever and other— where there is yellow fever and other tropical countries. it would always— other tropical countries. it would always be — other tropical countries. it would always be that these border restrictions would be imposed and britain _ restrictions would be imposed and britain may do so at some point soon to replace _ britain may do so at some point soon to replace the current hartel

it i think quite a lot of people in britain are pretty surprised at how lenient the sentence is now he has been found guilty that he is allowed to serve so much of it with an electronic tag at home, that doesn't sound like a terrible punishment. not much worse than being in lockdown for some but either way it is very humiliating and no i don't think he can come back from it. jack? think he can come back from it. jack? �* . . think he can come back from it. jack? ~ ., ., , ., , think he can come back from it. jack? . ., ., , ., , , ., jack? an amazing story, it when you look at the detail _ jack? an amazing story, it when you look at the detail with _ jack? an amazing story, it when you look at the detail with his _ jack? an amazing story, it when you look at the detail with his phone - look at the detail with his phone line tapped... look at the detail with his phone line tapped- - -— look at the detail with his phone line tapped... dating back almost ten ears! line tapped... dating back almost ten years! previous _ line tapped... dating back almostl ten years! previous investigations, burner phones, conversations with his lawyer on burner phones which i thought had been destroyed. band his lawyer on burner phones which i thought had been destroyed. and the nice 'ob for thought had been destroyed. and the nice job for the _ thought had been destroyed. and the nice job for the judge _ thought had been destroyed. and the nice job for the judge on _ thought had been destroyed. and the nice job for the judge on the - thought had been destroyed. and the nice job for the judge on the south i nice job for the judge on the south coast _ nice job for the judge on the south coast of— nice job for the judge on the south coast of france. and we think we have _ coast of france. and we think we have political scandals in this country. _ have political scandals in this country, remember gavin williamson getting _ country, remember gavin williamson getting sacked for leaking some details — getting sacked for leaking some details from a meeting. this is next level stuff— details from a meeting. this is next level stuff from france. was details from a meeting. this is next level stuff from france.— level stuff from france. was that ever confirmed? _ level stuff from france. was that ever confirmed? it _ level stuff from france. was that ever confirmed? it was _ level stuff from france. was that ever confirmed? it was with - level stuff from france. was that ever confirmed? it was with the l ever confirmed? it was with the national security council... unprecedented. but of a different

did not know about prince philip's sis but this particular illness, know that is true. at this sort of thing will keep on happening. we heard before when britain was at its absolute worst point with coronavirus, thousands of people dying a day and be at these pictures of harry and meghan living up the high life in california and of course it is going to whip sort of odd and jarring and that is because they have chosen to live a different life and then they want the publicity. note that did not know about the particular illness but this sort of thing will keep on happening and as you say, they don't have the same control as other members of the royal family and they will have to deal with that. and the negative coverage that they get because of it. just negative coverage that they get because of it.— because of it. just one final question — because of it. just one final question to _ because of it. just one final question to you _ because of it. just one final question to you both, - because of it. just one final question to you both, jackl because of it. just one final. question to you both, jack will because of it. just one final- question to you both, jack will you be watching the interview are not? absolutely no chance, i don't care what _ absolutely no chance, i don't care what the — absolutely no chance, i don't care what the get up to.— absolutely no chance, i don't care what the get up to. olivia, you will have to come _ what the get up to. olivia, you will have to come up _ what the get up to. olivia, you will have to come up what _ what the get up to. olivia, you will have to come up what you? - what the get up to. olivia, you will have to come up what you? i - have to come up what you? i shouldn't imagine so, i am not a row course when and if i can get away with not, i don't think i will. i am

the eight—times champion jump jockey peter scudamore has told bbc sport he's very sad about the incident and believes that elliott is likely to face some form of sanction. it was an act of crass stupidity, but there are some things that you just can't do. you know, i can't think of examples, but unfortunately, for him, he'll have to be made an example of. we just can't, we can't stand here and say we're looking after horses, and we're giving them dignity when we're clearly not. so, you know... i don't want revenge or anything, ijust, you know, there are people out there that don't like the sport and i can't argue with them when i see a picture like that. in the premier league,

everton have beaten southampton i—o to move two points off the top four with a game in hand. the only goal of the match at goodison park came nine minutes in and it was richarlison with his 11th of the season while michael keane had one ruled out by var for offside shortly after. the result means iath—placed southampton have now gone nine league games without a win. catalan police say they've made several arrests after searching the offices of spanish football side barcelona. the identity of those arrested has not yet been confirmed by police, but spanish media are reporting one of them is the club's former presidentjosep maria bartomeu. the operation was related to last year's barcagate in which club officials were accused of launching a smear campaign against current and former players who were critical of the club and bartomeu. andy murray has come from a set down to beat robin haase in their opening round match at the rotterdam open. the dutchman haase eased through the first set claiming it 6—2 before murray rebounded in the second to win

it on a tie—break. murray, who missed the australian open after contracting covid—i9, picked up a vital break late in the final set to win the decider 6—3, and he'll now face the winner of fourth—seed andrey rublev and marcos giron. the french rugby federation says head coach fabien galthie won't be sacked after it emerged he left the team's bio—secure bubble to go and watch his son play a game of rugby. a week later, galthie provided the first positive covid test in the squad. 11 players were also diagnosed with coronavirus, leading to the postponement of sunday's match against scotland which organisers are still trying to rearrange. patrick gearey reports. valentine's day, and the french rugby team are in affectionate mood. they've just beaten ireland and everyone's favourite to win the six nations. within days, it all started to get complicated. to win the six nations. within days, it all started to get complicated. this man, head coach fabien galthie, tested positive for covid—i9.

his captain, charles ollivon, also got the virus — one of 11 players to return positive tests. now it's emerged galthie had broken the bubble, the strict rules designed to keep the virus out of squads. the week before, he'd been out to see his son play rugby. but his boss is backing him. bernard laporte told france 3 tv... nor is he a politician, but the french sports minister has threatened to pull france out of the six nations after hearing reports that the squad had been out for waffles when in rome to play italy. all of this while the french public are under curfew, urged by the government to abide by the regulations to avoid another lockdown. cases have been growing.

it's about as bad a look as it's possible to get right now. whatever happens from here, the reputation of the french squad has taken a tremendous hit. the reputation of fabien galthie has taken a tremendous hit. if france do win the six nations, i think it will be tarnished for them for a long time. french national anthem plays so, does bursting a bubble cause it to sink? well, france have three matches to find out. they must squeeze in and squeeze past scotland, then see off england and wales for the grand slam. the tests keep coming. patrick gearey, bbc news. onto cricket news — england spinnerjack leach says there's been more talk from the media about the pitches in india than in the england dressing room. england were bowled out for a combined total ofjust 193 as they were beaten by ten wickets in the third test in ahmedebad. 28 of the 30 wickets in the match fell to spinners, but indian bowler ravichandran ashwin says "we need to get over talking about pitches"

and leach agrees with his opponent. if i was watching a test match, i would probably want it to go longer than two days. so that's my only, kind of, i guess, viewing it from being a cricket fan, it's that maybe a test match should go longer than that, and whether that's down to the pitch or skills or what... that, for me, playing is, i'm fully concentrating on how i can best do on every wicket that i play on and they outbowled us on that wicket. and that fourth and final test for england against india gets under way on thursday. of course for that and everything else, the bbc sport website — but that is all your sport for now. hello there. today is shaping up to be a pretty similar day to how yesterday was with many places starting chilly, grey, foggy with some low

cloud what will slowly burn back towards the east coast, allowing for some sunshine to develop for many of us. so, a largely dry day today, a chilly start with that low cloud and fog. many places will though turn brighter into the afternoon. now, it's all driven by this area of high pressure which is keeping things fine and settled. most places will see light winds which is why we'll start off rather grey with this fog around for many places. the exception — the west of scotland, parts northern ireland, far west of england and wales which will start cold, frosty, and sunny. but eventually the sun will get going on this cloud thinning and breaking it but it could linger again like on monday through parts of eastern wales, the midlands, eastern england and also eastern scotland where we'll continue to see some threatened half lapping against coast. sunshine will develop across southern areas. and winds generally light but still quite fresh through the channel and for the south—west of england. in the sunniest spots, we could see temperatures reaching 10 to maybe ia or 15 celsius but really chilly where we hold onto the grey, foggy weather —

only 3—5 celsius. now, as we head into tuesday night it looks like that low cloud and fog will tend to return across much of the country. a few clearer spells out west. a few showers starting to push through the channel islands and the south west. so, here a bit more cloud, so not quite as cold but chillier further north particularly where we have any cloud breaks. so into wednesday then, we've got this little weather front which is going to bring some better weather to southern and south—western areas. mainly in the form of showery rain, some of the showers could be quite heavy for the channel islands. south west england then into south wales and than spreading into parts of the midlands, southern and south—eastern england into the afternoon. elsewhere, it's generally cloudy particularly towards the east. best of the sunshine further west. but despite any sunshine, it's actually turning colder across the north. further south, given some sunshine again, quite mild — 10—15 celsius. the reason for it getting colder in the north is this new area of high pressure moving down from iceland. it's got some very cold air mixed in with it. and that's going to affect much

of the country as you move through thursday and indeed friday. so, a much colderfeel to our weather to end the week. it will return to a more settled note though. thursday looks pretty cloudy across the board. friday, perhaps, seeing a little bit of sunshine in places.
