10:30 pm
so how has the week gone? it's been 0k. i think that's the best analysis we can do. there may be an issue with phonics. some of the key sounds or the blending that the children knew back at christmas, we've maybe gone back two or three steps and we have to pick that up. is that a tiger? no! there is a long way to go in this story, but at least they're back together. danny savage, bbc news, lincolnshire. the queen has made an appearance at a viritual event to mark british science week, just days after the duke and duchess of sussex's controversial interview in america. our royal correspondent nick witchell has that story. good morning. her husband remains in hospital, herfamily is in turmoil over the sussexes, but two days ago the queen was on a video call talking about other worlds — space travel, to be precise — all part of british science week. so, it is a true honour to be speaking with you just now. they started with yuri gagarin —
10:31 pm
the first person into space way back in 1961. had the queen come across him? well, what do you think? very interesting to meet him. what was he like? russian. he didn't speak english. he didn't speak english? no, he was fascinating. they talked about things raining down on you, apt in a week such as this — though theirfocus was the meteorite, chunks of which landed in gloucestershire. because it looks very mixed rock. then they were off to mars and the pictures of the four—billion—year—old martian landscape sent back to earth from the mars perseverance probe. it is pretty rock strewn, isn't it? i think it's fascinating to see the pictures of mars. unbelievable, really, to think one can actually see its surface. school children demonstrated their idea of a rocket blasting off. very successful! for a few moments, a monarch with much to think about was able to escape.
10:32 pm
thank you, your majesty. bye! nicholas witchell, bbc news. 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 political writer and academic, maya goodfellow and former conservative adviser, mo hussein. let's start with the telegraph. it says everyone over a0 should be offered their first covid vaccine by easter, thanks to a "bumper boost" in supplies which will double current stocks. the times is also leading
10:33 pm
with vaccines, reporting that all adults will have had at least one jab by 10 june. a report on drunken british army troops makes the front page of the daily mail, which claims it has seen disturbing video footage of an initiation ordeal. the financial times says british taxpayers will be left with billions of pounds worth of debt, due to the collapse of financial services company, greensill capital, and the "troubled" business empire of sanjeev gupta. and finally, the daily express is reportiting on a uk trade deal with the united states, which it says will bring "wealth to every corner of our nation". so that's a little taster of some of the front pages. let's begin, lovely to see you both. as you kick us off with a front desk the front page of the times, "britain set a jack of
10:34 pm
all adults by earlyjune." the times, "britain set a “ack of all adults by early june.'_ the times, "britain set a “ack of all adults by early june.�* what the times is saying — all adults by early june.�* what the times is saying is _ all adults by early june.�* what the times is saying is that _ all adults by early june.�* what the times is saying is that every - all adults by early june.�* what the times is saying is that every adult| times is saying is that every adult in the uk will have been offered at least one jab by the 10th ofjune, and this in some ways ties in with the front story of the telegraph about the pace of the vaccine which is been really great things to the nhs. but there's a word of caution here, that sometimes, shouldn't here, that sometimes, we shouldn't always listen to these predictions. it's really great how the vaccine, the pace of the roll—out, but we need to wait and see, we are all still getting very hopeful about the end of lockdown. and i think one of the things with this story is that it's all been framed as faster in the eu, and i'm not sure it's useful to get into these kinds of races. one thing i would say is that at the end of last year, there were big warnings about the fact that rich nations, about 14% of the
10:35 pm
population, had bought for 53 of the most test 53% of the role's most prominent vaccines. whilst it's not great that this is happening here, we should also recognise that this could potentially be reproducing any qualities that matter to us. your thoughts? _ qualities that matter to us. your thoughts? i _ qualities that matter to us. your thoughts? i agree, _ qualities that matter to us. your thoughts? i agree, i— qualities that matter to us. your thoughts? i agree, i don't- qualities that matter to us. your thoughts? i agree, i don't think| qualities that matter to us. your i thoughts? i agree, i don't think we should be getting _ thoughts? i agree, i don't think we should be getting into _ thoughts? i agree, i don't think we should be getting into a _ thoughts? i agree, i don't think we should be getting into a vaccine - should be getting into a vaccine race~ _ should be getting into a vaccine race~ it's — should be getting into a vaccine race. it's great news that we are doing — race. it's great news that we are doing really well here, thanks to the government and the nhs, for all the government and the nhs, for all the work_ the government and the nhs, for all the work they've put into this. ultimately everybody needs to be safe~ _ ultimately everybody needs to be safe the — ultimately everybody needs to be safe. the world is so interconnected that whilst _ safe. the world is so interconnected that whilst we are doing what we need, _ that whilst we are doing what we need, other countries need to do well as— need, other countries need to do well as well. politically what this raises _ well as well. politically what this raises in — well as well. politically what this raises in terms of... is for lockdown_ raises in terms of... is for lockdown restrictions to be eased much _ lockdown restrictions to be eased much quicker, certainly coming from the concert— much quicker, certainly coming from the concert desk conservative backbenchers. whilst there seems to be good _ backbenchers. whilst there seems to be good news briefed out ahead of expectations, lessons have been

10:37 pm
cautions timetable about what it may look like but not promising anything. i think that's right. when ou anything. i think that's right. when you consider— anything. i think that's right. when you consider the _ anything. i think that's right. when you consider the economic - anything. i think that's right. when you consider the economic argument for this, the article does quote doctor katerina harper of the imperial college of london, who puts a figure on what lockdown is costing the uk at the moment, £18 billion a month in gdp. that argument will become more prominent over the coming weeks, won't it? it certainly well, and they've _ coming weeks, won't it? it certainly well, and they've been _ coming weeks, won't it? it certainly| well, and they've been astronomical so far~ _ well, and they've been astronomical so far~ by— well, and they've been astronomical so far. by the government has no choice. _ so far. by the government has no choice. it— so far. by the government has no choice, it has to spend all this money— choice, it has to spend all this money to— choice, it has to spend all this money to try and mitigate as much as it can _ money to try and mitigate as much as it can the _ money to try and mitigate as much as it can the impact of this virus. so people _ it can the impact of this virus. so people will— it can the impact of this virus. so people will be focusing on all that money— people will be focusing on all that money has to be paid back at some point, _ money has to be paid back at some point, but — money has to be paid back at some point, but i — money has to be paid back at some point, but i do think when we are so close _ point, but i do think when we are so close to _ point, but i do think when we are so close to the — point, but i do think when we are so close to the end hopefully of this,
10:38 pm
it would _ close to the end hopefully of this, it would be a real shame to lose all the hard _ it would be a real shame to lose all the hard work. so i think a bit more patients— the hard work. so i think a bit more patients would be well advised. let's _ patients would be well advised. let's now— patients would be well advised. let's now turn to the front of the i, and visual crowds vowed to defy the police band. i i, and visual crowds vowed to defy the police band.— i, and visual crowds vowed to defy the police band. i understand why so many people — the police band. i understand why so many people want — the police band. i understand why so many people want to _ the police band. i understand why so many people want to go _ the police band. i understand why so many people want to go and - the police band. i understand why so many people want to go and hold - many people want to go and hold these visuals across the country, there are these discussions going on around the covid rules, certain police forces saying they'll allow some of these vigils to go on, and others not. i suppose as well as recognising the importance of these vigils, it's important that we understand where this is coming from and why we are seeing, after the horrific murder of sarah everard, there is a outpouring of people sharing their experiences, that we
10:39 pm
experience this thing on a routine basis. it is a very normal part of our lives, even though it shouldn't be. and i think that's where this is really coming from. there was a poll earlier this week from the uk that showed that for young women at the ages of 18—24, 90 7% of them said they had been sexually harassed. in a lot of ways, this is surprising but not shocking desk shocking but not surprising. we need to understand why people want to hold these vigils, and not rush to these quick fixes or victim blaming, one of the things we've seen. we need to understand the shorter term solutions are things like properly funding domestic violent refugees, where they've seen big cuts for black and minority ethnic women, migrant women are often turned away from refugees because there's no public funds and they won't be covered properly will stop and we need to talk about culture change and recognise that the
10:40 pm
responsibility lies with the society that produces perpetrators of the first place. it's been a really painful week for a lot of us to see... this is really where the desire for the vigils comes from and the real push for it. but i think that when we are having this discussion, we need to recognise the varieties of people who are being impacted, since gender and transgender women and non—binary people, and also not rush to short—term quick fixes. people, and also not rush to short-term quick fixes. before i come to you. — short-term quick fixes. before i come to you. l _ short-term quick fixes. before i come to you, i want _ short-term quick fixes. before i come to you, i want to - short-term quick fixes. before i come to you, i want to make i short-term quick fixes. before i i come to you, i want to make clear that although the headline reads... there was a ruling tonight, or lap to make it rather a lack of a clear ruling by a judge tonight and there's no decision as yet as to whether this vigil can go ahead. that is very important to stress. your thoughts on the discussion that

10:45 pm
and again, these trade groups have said that this isn't the case because there haven't been similar falls in britton's trade with non—eu countries. so i think this is really reflecting and bound up with britain leaving the eu officially, and these conservative concerns and already a precarious economy will be wearing for people to worry about the ongoing impacts of this. i for people to worry about the ongoing impacts of this. i think the government _ ongoing impacts of this. i think the government would _ ongoing impacts of this. i think the government would say _ ongoing impacts of this. i think the government would say that - ongoing impacts of this. i think the government would say that this - ongoing impacts of this. i think the government would say that this is. government would say that this is covid _ government would say that this is covid or— government would say that this is covid or people stockpiled already. i covid or people stockpiled already. i find _ covid or people stockpiled already. i find that — covid or people stockpiled already. i find that slightly difficult to believe when the numbers are what they are, _ believe when the numbers are what they are, and this is —— you're hearing — they are, and this is —— you're hearing this _ they are, and this is —— you're hearing this directly from the hall years— hearing this directly from the hall years and — hearing this directly from the hall years and people transporting goods. the other— years and people transporting goods. the other issue seems to be the flow is not _ the other issue seems to be the flow is not being _ the other issue seems to be the flow is not being impacted for lorries, but what's — is not being impacted for lorries, but what's on them, and some of them are just _ but what's on them, and some of them
