the reggae music legend bunny wailer has died in the jamaican capital kingston, at the age of 73. he was last surviving member of the group the wailers, which also included bob marley and peter tosh. the cause of his death is unknown, but he had been in hospital since having a stroke lastjuly. the former liverpool and scotland striker and television presenter ian stjohn has died at the age of 82. he was an iconic figure at liverpool and went on to be part of the hugely successful saint and greavsie, the itv football show, in the 1980s. our correspondent andy swiss looks back at his life and career. amid liverpool's stars of the 1960s, few shone as brightly as ian stjohn. when hejoined, the club was

languishing in the second division. and it's stjohn! he scores! but stjohn�*s goals helped transform them into the best team in england. under the great bill shankly, he won two league titles, but perhaps his greatest moment came at wembley in 1965. it's a goal! that goal took liverpool to their first fa cup and it made the man known simply as the saint a club legend. he certainly was an iconic figure because he came in at the very beginning, the club moved onwards and upwards. but it wouldn't have gone anywhere if it hadn't had the big contribution from people like the saint. he also starred for scotland, scoring nine goals for his country. and although he retired as a player in 1973, a new career beckoned. he joined forces withjimmy greaves and their tv show, saint and greavsie, was a huge hit. well, hello and good afternoon. the programme ran for nearly a decade, stjohn winning millions of new fans with his warmth and wit.

hello, there! well, euro 92 is all over andjim and i are still here in stockholm. can't get a flight home. jimmy greaves himself led today's tributes, describing stjohn as a lovely man. he was one whose versatility was matched only by his popularity, both on and off the pitch, one of football's finest. the footballer and television presenter ian stjohn, who's died at the age of 82. 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 are anna mikhailova, deputy political editor at the mail on sunday, and broadcaster

and author, john kampfner. welcome to you both. some of the front pages are already in. a few are delayed because of an embargo on the latest news from the treasury ahead of the chancellor's budget tomorrow. the metro says that rishi sunak will extend the furlough scheme until october to try and ward off job losses in the wake of leaving lockdown. the telegraph says the chancellor is planning for a slow recovery with his budget spending. it reports that sunak will approve tens of billions of pounds in extra spending by extending furlough and the universal credit uplift until the end of september. that was announced today as well. "18 months of furlough," reads the front of the i. the paper also reports that fuel duty will be frozen for another year, with some extra support available to self—employed people who haven't yet qualified for financial help during the pandemic.

the independent goes into more detail — furlough payments will continue until the end of september, with employees continuing to receive 80% of their salary. but the paper reports that byjuly, employers will be expected to contribute 10%, and 20% by august. a graph on the front page of tomorrow's guardian outlines just how much has been spent on bolstering the economy during the past year since the chancellor's last budget — £280 billion to date. the daily mail has an exclusive, reporting that nhs workers could be forced to have covid jabs under plans being discussed by ministers. the paper says a review of vaccine passports will consider whether whether health staff who decline an injection could be legally obliged to have one. and a campaign on the front page

of the sun to bring home the euros and the spirit of �*66 — the paper has partnered with england world cup hero sir geoff hurst to back borisjohnson�*s campaign for the entire euros tournament to be held in england this summer. lots to get through, a big announcement tomorrow at lunchtime, rishi sunak — what's happened to budget purdah? i rishi sunak - what's happened to budget purdah?— budget purdah? i think it's pretty much gone- _ budget purdah? i think it's pretty much gone- i _ budget purdah? i think it's pretty much gone. i think— budget purdah? i think it's pretty much gone. i think george - budget purdah? i think it's pretty i much gone. i think george osborne had a tendency to have his budgets leak out before hand, and rishi sunak has taken it one step more and announcing a lot of the measures. the furlough timing is interesting considering the number of times but the chancellor and the prime minister were asked in the commons to give people some reassurances and certainty that the furlough would be

extended — and always, the answer was they don't announce measures until march three. clearly they do! just looking at the i, budget 2021, 18 months of furlough. business leaders have been calling for a tapering of this furlough scheme. how successful and effective do you think that 20% down to 10% will be? i think it's a pretty good outcome. it's moot — i think it's a pretty good outcome. it's moot whether you need to support— it's moot whether you need to support businesses in the way that they have — support businesses in the way that they have been, and completely correctly— they have been, and completely correctly during this period, once the opening up — which unless there is a really— the opening up — which unless there is a really terrible new mutant of the virus — is a really terrible new mutant of the virus - — is a really terrible new mutant of the virus - it _ is a really terrible new mutant of the virus — it will happen on 21 june, — the virus — it will happen on 21 june, and _ the virus — it will happen on 21 june, and pretty much from the middle — june, and pretty much from the middle of— june, and pretty much from the middle of may it'll feel as if everything is open. so to what extent— everything is open. so to what extent will the businesses need that support? _ extent will the businesses need that support? they will because they will

guardian — there's a treasury video with him talking about his journey, you know, talking about what he wanted to do when he came there. i think it was the spectator saying it was more like something for the sports personality of the year award, really.— sports personality of the year award, really. that was isabel harden, award, really. that was isabel harden. and _ award, really. that was isabel harden, and she _ award, really. that was isabel harden, and she nailed - award, really. that was isabel harden, and she nailed it- award, really. that was isabel harden, and she nailed it on | award, really. that was isabel. harden, and she nailed it on that front. it's a strange leadership style video, in the latest of brand rishi sunak and his big social media campaign, partly led by kaz horowitz, anthony horwitz�*s son. as soon as rishi sunak became counsellor, he could put together quite a strong team on the social media front and has developed this brand where his official announcements are always accompanied by his signature. you have to look at that, and it's hard for anyone not to think that this is a platform to greater ambitions than just the treasury. share to greater ambitions than 'ust the treasu . �* , . to greater ambitions than 'ust the treasu . . , ., , ., treasury. are they all friends of carrie,

another £10 billion. one thing we will see in the house tomorrow is mps starting to look at that time line. i think everything john said was sensible, but when you start coupling that with looming tax rises and how we will all pay for this and looking at the 21 june deadline of things we've been promised will be back to normal pretty much, it leaves a strange elephant in the room to then say that the furlough scheme will actually be extended until october — either there is something that the government is budgeting for that we don't know, or they'll face quite a lot of pressure from their own backbenchers tomorrow to say, "why aren't you going to cut this short sooner? ? the biggest battle rishi sunak will have will be his backbenchers in the 1922 committee who are saying, look, we've spent so much money already,

we've spent so much money already, we need to put a lid on this. we've had the former chancellor hammond and william hague, and ken clark saying something similar, as well. there is two things going on right now _ there is two things going on right now first — there is two things going on right now. first of all, you have the reversing _ now. first of all, you have the reversing of the normal choreography of the _ reversing of the normal choreography of the five—year parliament in which the new— of the five—year parliament in which the new government, after a very quick— the new government, after a very quick honeymoon, tries to get all the difficult economic stuff done early— the difficult economic stuff done early in — the difficult economic stuff done early in the parliament — the tax rises, _ early in the parliament — the tax rises, the — early in the parliament — the tax rises, the squeezes, the unpopular decisions _ rises, the squeezes, the unpopular decisions so that as an election looms— decisions so that as an election looms - — decisions so that as an election looms — and you can't do too close of an— looms — and you can't do too close of an election because people will feel the _ of an election because people will feel the effects of it — so 2—3 years— feel the effects of it — so 2—3 years after an election, that's when you start _ years after an election, that's when you start doing the tax cuts were extra _ you start doing the tax cuts were extra spending that people didn't really— extra spending that people didn't really notice. in terms of —— because _ really notice. in terms of —— because of— really notice. in terms of —— because of covid, you have this doubt _ because of covid, you have this doubt in — because of covid, you have this doubt in reverse. you've got massive generosity. _ doubt in reverse. you've got massive generosity. i— doubt in reverse. you've got massive generosity, i mean, the splashing of

cash that— generosity, i mean, the splashing of cash that we have never seen before. and of— cash that we have never seen before. and of course, even with historically low interest rates, it's all— historically low interest rates, it's all got to be paid for, it's almost — it's all got to be paid for, it's almost the fetishize a sin of austerity— almost the fetishize a sin of austerity that you had under osborne to relapse _ austerity that you had under osborne to relapse that you eventually need to relapse that you eventually need to balance — to relapse that you eventually need to balance the books and have a rigorous — to balance the books and have a rigorous financial settlement. so this will— rigorous financial settlement. so this will happen further down the line and — this will happen further down the line and people will then start feeling — line and people will then start feeling itjust when line and people will then start feeling it just when the political requirement is to be more popular. do you _ requirement is to be more popular. do you recognise that as well, anna, is that something you agree with? because rishi sunak was asked the other day whether he would seek to lower taxes just before the next election, and what it he said? "i don't recognise that comment." abs, don't recognise that comment." politician's answer. whether or not he said that, it's been reported widely as part of the thinking

within the treasury, within number 11 that it is much more politically sellable to do that early on in the parliament, then eased off by the time of the election. obviously covid has not made that possible, it looks like it'll be pretty close to the election. i think the wider point of whatjohn was saying is that every single one of these giveaway measures has a cost and, while interests are at record low, the thing rishi sunak has been telling both mps and also publicly is that they'll have to start paying it back at some point because, you know, yes, there is this money tree that every country has been benefiting from recently, but it does leave the uk exposed. so if there's even a tiny rise in interest rates, the bill for paying back that debt every year will rise to the billions. and just about the numbers into perspective a bit, one of the

things we are expecting in the budget tomorrow, one of the sticks compared to the carrot that we've already had trailed is a freezing of the income tax thresholds. the threshold at which people will be dragged into the higher rate tax will be frozen for three years... to be clear, that's 12.5 thousand and 13 and a half thousand at the highest and? flu 13 and a half thousand at the highest and?— 13 and a half thousand at the highest and? 13 and a half thousand at the hiuhest and? ., ., ., �* , highest and? on the one hand, that's where the government _ highest and? on the one hand, that's where the government is _ highest and? on the one hand, that's where the government is not - highest and? on the one hand, that's where the government is not fully - where the government is not fully breaking its commitment to not raise income tax, as well as vat and national insurance. obviously everyone knows that, as inflation rises and living costs go up, of course you are being pulled into that higher rate tax so you will pay more tax. now doing that for three years will raise an estimated £6 billion. and theyjust announced extending furlough by six months,

which will cost £10 billion — so we still have another £4 billion to plug injust still have another £4 billion to plug in just this one single measure, and that's not even talking about all of the huge spending commitments that have been made over the past year. flan commitments that have been made over the past year-— the past year. can i bring john in on this? because _ the past year. can i bring john in on this? because if _ the past year. can i bring john in on this? because if you - the past year. can i bring john in on this? because if you look - the past year. can i bring john in on this? because if you look at l the past year. can i bring john in l on this? because if you look at the long—term interest rate projections, you're looking at 310, —— three year, ten year, and 30 year, it's all moving upwards? this year, ten year, and 30 year, it's all moving upwards?— all moving upwards? this is something _ all moving upwards? this is something we _ all moving upwards? this is something we shouldn't - all moving upwards? this is- something we shouldn't forget, there's— something we shouldn't forget, there's been a real flag—waving hysteria — there's been a real flag—waving hysteria about the success of the vaccines — hysteria about the success of the vaccines over the last couple of months. — vaccines over the last couple of months, and hats off to the people who have _ months, and hats off to the people who have made it happen — and it is really— who have made it happen — and it is really the _ who have made it happen — and it is really the first success story of this government in a litany of failure — this government in a litany of failure on _ this government in a litany of failure on covid. but in amongst that also. — failure on covid. but in amongst that also, we've had the sharpest economic— that also, we've had the sharpest economic fall, the sharpest gdp fall in the _ economic fall, the sharpest gdp fall in the g7 _ economic fall, the sharpest gdp fall
