hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. to what the papers will be with me are political writer and academic maya goodfellow and former conservative adviser mo hussein. great to see both there. quick look at the front pages for tomorrow morning. let's start with the mirror, which reports on the news that a policeman has been charged with the kidnap and murder of sarah everard. 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. a new trade deal with

11:33 pm
quickly and to make sure that the vaccine, which is really the only way out of this pandemic and the way back to something that resembles normality, and so we are doing quite well. but i think there has been a lot of expectation management here. the government has learned lessons for things he did not go so well before and so they can now say that we will be further ahead in the try to vaccinate than the original plan instead. but we are not quite there yet and i would just caution. sometimes whilst it is good news and we all desperately need good news right now, they can counter productive. people can fall into a bit of a false sense of security and we are still living under restrictions and that we're still not rid of this virus yet. and we could have some bumps in the road. there could be some vaccine hesitancy amongst people who are a bit younger. you will get more and more entities calling for restrictions to be loosened. so i just think some caution is certainly

11:39 pm
to sit on— kind of male violence, will allow us to sit on this — kind of male violence, will allow us to sit on this scale i thought about and one _ to sit on this scale i thought about and one of— to sit on this scale i thought about and one of the things i would say is there _ and one of the things i would say is there is— and one of the things i would say is there is not— and one of the things i would say is there is not a quick fix to a lot of it is but— there is not a quick fix to a lot of it is but one _ there is not a quick fix to a lot of it is but one thing i would like to see given — it is but one thing i would like to see given that there has been so much _ see given that there has been so much discussion around this is proper— much discussion around this is proper funding for art invested violence — proper funding for art invested violence services. there have been used _ violence services. there have been used because the funding over the past two _ used because the funding over the past two years in a particular to special— past two years in a particular to special services for black and micro—women are not supported although— micro—women are not supported although they are important organisations doing work there but they are _ organisations doing work there but they are often left out of services or exclude — they are often left out of services or exclude services because of no public— or exclude services because of no public funds. so if you want to see some _ public funds. so if you want to see some immediate action, i would say look some immediate action, i would say took into— some immediate action, i would say look into the funding of the services _ look into the funding of the services as well as having this in tandem — services as well as having this in tandem with his really for a massive change _ tandem with his really for a massive change in _ tandem with his really for a massive change in terms of understanding that it's _ change in terms of understanding that it's not women who are at fault — that it's not women who are at fault. women and number of people who were _ fault. women and number of people who were our fault is people who are committing _ who were our fault is people who are committing these kinds of acts and therefore _ committing these kinds of acts and therefore focus should be. so many conversations _ therefore focus should be. so many conversations have _ therefore focus should be. so many conversations have is _ therefore focus should be. so many conversations have is part - therefore focus should be. so many conversations have is part of- therefore focus should be. so many conversations have is part of this i conversations have is part of this tragic story. how have you follow
11:40 pm
the wider conversations around the terrible death of sarah everard pathetic is heartbreaking. the thin . pathetic is heartbreaking. the thing family _ pathetic is heartbreaking. the thing family is — pathetic is heartbreaking. the thing family is going _ pathetic is heartbreaking. the thing family is going through - pathetic is heartbreaking. the thing family is going through but| pathetic is heartbreaking. the. thing family is going through but it has sparked a really much wider conversation heavily important conversation heavily important conversation as well and i think a lot of listening and a lot of learning has been done and has yet to be done. i certainly miss what is in my life and to friends and family but also following people experiences on social media of the things and i a mental checklist that is women you have to go through if you arejust out is women you have to go through if you are just out late and you're walking. whether it is pretty sure you've got keys in your head of making sure you put shoes that maybe you can run and pastor, these are things that i as i have not had to think about what i have been thinking about going out for a walk or do i want to walk back home at night. so i think the illness seems to be very much on women to almost make themselves invisible to avoid this and i think that it's wrong. i
11:41 pm
think men have to take more action to help women feel more comfortable but also the education here in a big piece of a calling at this kind of behaviour. so you avoid it being normalised. i worked on the domestic abuse felt when i was at the home office and it struck me that there was a lot of focus on reaching out to women and my point at that time was that we also need to reach out to man and talk to young man about why this kind of behaviour is not acceptable and it is also illegal. and educate them and i think collectively we need to do that. so we avoid the situations going forward and we can create a sense of safety and security for women. which should be the case but is not. let’s should be the case but is not. let's turn to the — should be the case but is not. let's turn to the ft- _ should be the case but is not. let's turn to the ft. your _ should be the case but is not. let's turn to the ft. your thoughts on this idea of trade dropping by 40%

11:43 pm
will certainly send this is maybe teething problems and change look elsewhere to trade than looking to new trade deals across the world. so the focus is the way from europe. but people who are the business owners who have been relying on the business owners who have been relying on this trait, it is not tell a good story at all. interesting in this article is a reply striking that the flow of lloris but the number of noted trailers. .,. , lloris but the number of noted trailers. , ., , , ., , trailers. exactly and essentially what this article _ trailers. exactly and essentially what this article is _ trailers. exactly and essentially what this article is reporting . trailers. exactly and essentially what this article is reporting onj trailers. exactly and essentially l what this article is reporting on is this sort— what this article is reporting on is this sort of— what this article is reporting on is this sort of pushed from trade groups— this sort of pushed from trade groups who are saying the government ctaiming _ groups who are saying the government claiming actually things have gone back to _ claiming actually things have gone back to normal since this big drop off in— back to normal since this big drop off injanuary or saying back to normal since this big drop off in january or saying that this is bound — off in january or saying that this is bound up with covid—19. as you said they— is bound up with covid—19. as you said they are pointing out actually this is— said they are pointing out actually this is to — said they are pointing out actually this is to do with maurice coming back— this is to do with maurice coming back empty but also what they have argued _ back empty but also what they have argued is _ back empty but also what they have argued is that if this is simply about— argued is that if this is simply about covid—19 for instance, then

minister was they should go figure because this is really about projecting on the world stage this idea of britain after brexit, global britain committed to multilateralism and courting thejoe biden administration and showing who can be a force for good in the world and i think we will see over the next few weeks are more announcements and more details which will point in that direction. we more details which will point in that direction.— that direction. we will leave it there for now _ that direction. we will leave it there for now but _ that direction. we will leave it there for now but thank - that direction. we will leave it there for now but thank you i that direction. we will leave it - there for now but thank you both. to you enjoy your weekend. thank you. that's it for the papers tonight. more coming up for some time back at the top of the error but first here is the sport. hi there, i'm john watson with the latest from the bbc sport centre. the former chief doctor for british cycling and team sky, richard freeman, has been found
11:49 pm
guilty of ordering a banned performance—enhancing drug "knowing or believing" it would be used to dope a rider. the charges against freeman date back to 2011, a year before the london olympics. the british cycling team enjoyed huge success during his time as the sport's top medic. he admitted 18 out of 22 charges at a medical tribunal. our sports editor dan roan reports. for the past decade, british cycling has enjoyed unprecedented success, dominating on both the road and track. for much of that time, richard freeman was the sport's top doctor. but two years after his medical tribunal began, today came the verdict cycling had dreaded. the panel said he had ordered testosterone, the sport's doping drug of choice, his conduct incapable of innocent explanation. and it was to place the order it was clear they would be used to improve performance. the big question is,
11:50 pm
who was the testosterone, which rider was it ordered for? it's seriously damaging. i'm not sure how british cycling and the sport can recover. the reputation of the sport in terms of management and governance is in tatters. the saga began in 2011 when freeman ordered testogel from a local supplier to the sport's hq. six years later, having already left team sky, the medic resigned from british cycling. in 2019, he admitted to 18 gmc charges, including initially lying to uk antidoping, and last month, he was charged by the agency with two antidoping rule violations. freeman told the tribunal he ordered the drug to treat the erectile dysfunction of this man, former british cycling technical director shane sutton, who denied the claim. ijust think it casts a shadow over, you know, great athletes, and, you know, there's not many i'd stick my hand in the fire for, but you know, all these guys i worked with, you know, i maintain that, you know, under brailsford, we were running the cleanest programme in the world. and itjust saddens me to think that this is now going to be an ongoing investigation.
11:51 pm
back in 2018, freeman told me he would clear his name. i can clear everything . up, but at the moment, i am under investigation _ about my medicines management policy by the general medical council, i and therefore, i am not at liberty, at the present time, - due to respect for them, not to talk about it. but no wrongdoing? no wrongdoing. but today, a man who, for years, worked closely with some of the biggest names in british sport, tour de france—winner sir bradley wiggins and team boss sir dave brailsford amongst them, was told his explanation was implausible. british cycling said today's seismic verdict was "extremely disturbing" but insisted that they had reformed since the days when freeman worked here. but this is the gravest blow to date to the reputation of one of the country's most successful and best—funded olympic sports, and it leaves a series of unanswered questions. which rider was involved, and who else knew? today, brailsford's team ineos, which replaced team sky two years
11:52 pm
ago, said it didn't believe any athlete ever used or sought to use the testosterone. but the sport's attempt to move on from this scandaljust got harder. dan roan, bbc news. after the diappointing end to their test series, england showed just why they are the world's best in white ball cricket, producing an emphatic eight—wicket victory in the first t20 with india in ahmedabad. it was underpinned by some impressive performances with both bat and ball, as andy swiss reports. after being walloped in the test series, now it was england's turn to do the walloping. the most emphatic of wins set up earlier by some brilliant bowling. jofra archer led the way. and when india's captain, virat kohli, holed out for naught, the home fans' faces said it all. they briefly got something to cheer — this remarkable six from the remarkable rishabh pant. but otherwise, it was all about england, near—flawless
11:53 pm

hello. it has been a busy old week of weather, hasn't it, with a spell of stormy weather midweek followed by some classic spring sunshine and showers. when the shower clouds came, they meant business, with hail and thunder mixed in there, but dodge the showers, keep some sunshine, the spring flowers are starting to bloom and there's a little bit of warmth now in that sun. very nice indeed. for the next few days, we keep the theme of sunny spells and scattered showers, but it'll stay quite breezy as well. however, high pressure is going to gradually start to build, and into next week things should quieten down. so, yes, it's a case of sunny spells and scattered showers, chiefly out to the west, those showers, through the day on saturday. sheltered eastern areas should dodge most of the showers and keep some sunshine coming through. it's still going to be quite windy, with gusts in excess of 40 to 50mph on exposed coasts. that'll take the edge off the temperatures, always just struggling a little. we should see a maximum by the middle of the day of 7 to 10 degrees. moving out of saturday into sunday,
11:56 pm
we'll see another significant frontal system starting to build in from the west, and that, once again, is going to enhance the showers along the north— and west—facing coasts. still plenty of isobars on the charts. the winds will stay with us but they will gradually ease down as we go through the day on sunday, and if you keep the sunshine, that means it should feeljust that little bit warmer out there. but there will be some rain to come moving out of northern ireland into western fringes of scotland, north—west england and wales as we go through the day. again, highs between 7 and 11. now, as we move out of sunday into monday, we've got this area of high pressure building in from the south—west. it will take its time to arrive, so there will still be some rain around, but monday not a bad day. much lighter winds, coming from a northerly direction, a colder source, but because they're lighter, and we'll see a good deal of dry, sunny weather in the offing, not a bad day for many of us. still, we should see highs of 12 or 13 degrees in the sunshine. now, as we move out of monday into tuesday, we've got this weather front toppling across that high pressure. that's going to introduce more wet
11:57 pm
weather, but it's not going to last very long and the high continues to build in behind. so a brief hiccup, perhaps, on tuesday. yes, some rain clearing from west to east, quite a clearance, with sunshine returning in the afternoon through northern ireland, scotland, north—west england and wales, and, again, those temperatures should peak into double figures. once tuesday is out of the way, the high pressure looks really likely to build quite nicely on wednesday. the isobars open up, the winds remain light and wednesday should be a dry day with some sunshine coming through. perhaps not as warm as it should be at this time of year, with the wind direction, albeit light, still coming from the north. now, as we move further ahead, it looks likely that the jet stream will play its part. quite a weakjet stream at the moment. it's undulating across the british isles, and that's where that high pressure is allowed to sit, so into the middle part of next week, the high pressure is not moving very far very fast. it will gradually start
11:58 pm
to lose its grip, which means it could introduce a few spells of showery rain from time to time, but the general theme is a much quieter story in comparison to the weekjust past. that is certainly going to be good news. it does mean that, further ahead, it will, once tuesday is out of the way, get drier, less windy, sunny days but some chilly, possibly frosty, nights to come. that's it. do have a lovely weekend.
