large parts of france are going into lockdown again tonight. switzerland is extending its restrictions. poland is also going into partial lockdown from this evening. the french prime minister has had the oxford astrazeneca jab, after it was given the all clear by the ema on thursday. the italian prime minister has also said he'll have the vaccine, as countries across europe lift their suspensions. president biden has appealed for unity during a visit to atlanta, saying many asian americans now live in fear. his comments came in the wake of a killing spree at massage parlours in atlanta which left eight people dead, six of them women of asian descent.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are michael booker, deputy editor of the daily express and susie boniface, columnist at the daily mirror. the times reports that a surge in coronavirus cases across europe once again, thank you so much for being with us this friday evening. the times reports that a surge in coronavirus cases across europe threatens a new wave in britain and makes holidays abroad increasingly unlikely — government sources fear. the i weekend leads on a poll commissioned by the paper on how the uk has changed as a result of lockdown, saying people have become more resilient despite experiencing damage to their mental health. the mirror reports on the divorce between hollywood stars angelina jolie and brad pitt. the daily mail claims election watchdogs are questioning tory chiefs over a payment for boris johnson's flat renovation.

the telegraph says that the uk's vaccine tsar has condemned emmanuel macron and angela merkel as "completely irresponsible" for undermining the astrazeneca vaccine. the financial times reports that the government has drawn up a contingency plan to run britain's third biggest steel company using public money while searching for a buyer. it also reports that the focus on supplying the coronavirus vaccine in the us has affected the supply of other drugs. so, just a flavour of some of the papers that we already have. mick, let's start with you this time. we will focus on a couple of stories, but let's start with the alarm over the new wave. so the folk this is on what is happening across europe. the worries over a third wave of the virus, and also various different countries going into further

lockdown. . countries going into further lockdown-_ countries going into further lockdown. , , ., lockdown. . the cabinet the captain have been briefed _ lockdown. . the cabinet the captain have been briefed over _ lockdown. . the cabinet the captain have been briefed over the - lockdown. . the cabinet the captain j have been briefed over the summer lockdown. . the cabinet the captain l have been briefed over the summer i stare so the permits are in particular has been talking to scientists. and this story is why he is going to stick with a very slow and methodical road map to get on lockdown. we have to see what is happening over there and we can see that we are not out of the woods europe is not out of the woods by a long shot because they haven't got the vaccine programme that we have had some of the success we've had without over 25 million people vaccinated so far. a lot less and that you have been vaccinated at the moment. they have 35,000 new cases in france alone in one day yesterday, so you can see there is a big problem out there in europe. they happen to have the vaccines, there is scepticism over the vaccines. there has been briefing

about the vaccines. that has exacerbated things. they have clearly not got things right in terms of rolling of the vaccine as we seem it to be having. but i think we seem it to be having. but i think we have to be careful because what happens over there, it could come back over here. there could be various different strains of these things evolving. and we just have to be very careful. and i think the government will see the idea put out that holidays are looking as though they are off the menu again in europe this year. i think they will be fairly pleased with that. they don't want millions of us going abroad and then potentially bringing this back and giving ourselves another problem. but at the same time, we have been in lockdown from a stricter lockdowns than what has been going on in europe for a lock to a lot longerfor in recent been going on in europe for a lock to a lot longer for in recent times. the french have hardly had the kids off school. they kept their schools open throughout this. so we have done things differently, and at the moment, things are looking good. the

debt figures are down, not as far down as we want them to be. the infections aren't as high as we thought they would be with the kids back at school. so things are looking good, but we have to be wary of what is going on. i think the government will be fairly comfortable with these sorts of headlines, as itjust dampens down those cries from certain people to get the road map moving quicker. doing things differently, but also doing things similar. the times has a picture of borisjohnson having received his first dose of the oxford astrazeneca vaccine, and susie, the french prime minister also receiving his first dose of the oxford astrazeneca vaccine, a lot of reassurance going on in terms of getting a vaccine, and in particular, that vaccine. well, they are attempts _ particular, that vaccine. well, they are attempts at — particular, that vaccine. well, they are attempts at reassurance, - particular, that vaccine. well, they are attempts at reassurance, we . particular, that vaccine. well, they i are attempts at reassurance, we have yet to _ are attempts at reassurance, we have yet to see — are attempts at reassurance, we have yet to see how effective either of them _ yet to see how effective either of them are — yet to see how effective either of them are. france has been talking down _ them are. france has been talking down the — them are. france has been talking down the astrazeneca vaccine for so lon- down the astrazeneca vaccine for so long and _ down the astrazeneca vaccine for so long and at — down the astrazeneca vaccine for so long and at such high—volume, that it will_ long and at such high—volume, that it will be _ long and at such high—volume, that it will be very difficult, i would think. — it will be very difficult, i would think. for— it will be very difficult, i would think, for them to turn around the fact that _

previously spoken about this particular vaccine. they have been talking about how irresponsible they have been, angela merkel, and emmanuel macron, undermining the roll—out of this vaccine in particular, seemingly for political purposes, and it has not looked good for them, but it is having huge impacts across the eu as a result of it, and will cost lives, there is no doubt about it, you know, the head of the vaccine tax force is one of the big heroes of this, obviously with the people who developed it as well, but she had a strategy for buying and bringing these things in, and that is why britain is doing astonishingly well in terms of the vaccine roll—out. you know, again, there is talk that it's going to be problematic for under 50s, it's going to be problematic for under50s, but it's going to be problematic for under 50s, but i'm under 50, and it's going to be problematic for under50s, but i'm under50, and i got called yesterday for my gp surgery saying mine is booked in for sunday, and i heard from two other

people under 50 and the last couple of days who have had exactly the same phone call. so i don't think it is as negative as it has been painted in certain areas, i'm in north london for my don't know if it's different to other areas, it is getting out there, and it is getting to those people who are in those age groups. so i think we are doing well. i think we are in a very, very good position, and it is a shame that europe is lagging behind us because as susie says, this is not done until everyone has beenjabbed, and there is a lid on the whole thing. and there is a lid on the whole thin. ,, , ., , and there is a lid on the whole thin. ,, , ., gr ., and there is a lid on the whole thin. ,, , ., ., ., thing. susie for my know that you haven't, thing. susie for my know that you haven't. but _ thing. susie for my know that you haven't, but as _ thing. susie for my know that you haven't, but as you _ thing. susie for my know that you haven't, but as you tell _ thing. susie for my know that you haven't, but as you tell us - thing. susie for my know that you haven't, but as you tell us about. haven't, but as you tell us about that, let's have a look at this paper, because what it has got is a survey, there is the word, a survey about various changes within the uk because of lockdown, and of course, until everyone, as you say everyone gets the vaccine, lockdown situations are potentially still with us, so talk us through what

this paper has found. timer;r with us, so talk us through what this paper has found.— this paper has found. they have found, this paper has found. they have found. its _ this paper has found. they have found, it's kind _ this paper has found. they have found, it's kind of, _ this paper has found. they have found, it's kind of, the - this paper has found. they have l found, it's kind of, the population is breaking — found, it's kind of, the population is breaking two thirds to one third in terms _ is breaking two thirds to one third in terms of— is breaking two thirds to one third in terms of positive or negative impacts— in terms of positive or negative impacts from the pandemic so far, so if there _ impacts from the pandemic so far, so if there is— impacts from the pandemic so far, so if there is a _ impacts from the pandemic so far, so if there is a third of people who feel that — if there is a third of people who feel that they have really struggled with home—schooling, there are two thirds _ with home—schooling, there are two thirds that— with home—schooling, there are two thirds that feel it has gone 0k with home—schooling, there are two thirds that feel it has gone ok or the other— thirds that feel it has gone ok or the other way around, and there are two thirds _ the other way around, and there are two thirds of — the other way around, and there are two thirds of people who may feel they have — two thirds of people who may feel they have got a better relationship with their— they have got a better relationship with their children, there are third of them _ with their children, there are third of them who feel that they don't have _ of them who feel that they don't have a _ of them who feel that they don't have a better relationship with their— have a better relationship with their children, obviously, they are ready— their children, obviously, they are ready to _ their children, obviously, they are ready to murder each other. sojust goes _ ready to murder each other. sojust goes to— ready to murder each other. sojust goes to show that however someone whether— goes to show that however someone whether you want to come on here or p0p whether you want to come on here or pop into _ whether you want to come on here or pap into the — whether you want to come on here or pop into the streets that you see on television _ pop into the streets that you see on television or whether it is our own personal— television or whether it is our own personal experiences, there are a significant — personal experiences, there are a significant chunk of people who have exactly _ significant chunk of people who have exactly the opposite experience. there _ exactly the opposite experience. there are — exactly the opposite experience. there are 125,000 families who have suffered _ there are 125,000 families who have suffered a _ there are 125,000 families who have suffered a bereavement, some of them are absolutely devastated and blame it on covid _ are absolutely devastated and blame it on covid and others will think it is something else. but that has a knock— is something else. but that has a knock on — is something else. but that has a knock on effect, not only to the

economy, — knock on effect, not only to the economy, but to society into our lives _ economy, but to society into our lives in _ economy, but to society into our lives in general on our outlook and mental— lives in general on our outlook and mental health and our emotional well—being. you know, covid has an effect _ well—being. you know, covid has an effect on _ well—being. you know, covid has an effect on us, — well—being. you know, covid has an effect on us, and it's notjust going — effect on us, and it's notjust going to _ effect on us, and it's notjust going to be the illness and the deaths — going to be the illness and the deaths and this immediate future that we _ deaths and this immediate future that we have in front of us. it is going _ that we have in front of us. it is going to — that we have in front of us. it is going to be _ that we have in front of us. it is going to be here, and we are going to he_ going to be here, and we are going to be dealing with the backwashing effects _ to be dealing with the backwashing effects of this of all sorts, economic and social, for decades to come _ economic and social, for decades to come in _ economic and social, for decades to come in the — economic and social, for decades to come. in the meantime, while we are trying _ come. in the meantime, while we are trying to— come. in the meantime, while we are trying to get — come. in the meantime, while we are trying to get through that, we are also going — trying to get through that, we are also going to try to help the rest of the _ also going to try to help the rest of the world, because about 6 trillion— of the world, because about 6 billion people by the end of this year who— billion people by the end of this year who will still not be vaccinated. we may have vaccinated 1 billion _ vaccinated. we may have vaccinated 1 billion humans by the end of this year. _ billion humans by the end of this year. but — billion humans by the end of this year, but there will be 6 billion who happen. so we are going to have to face _ who happen. so we are going to have to face dealing with covid—19 for a very long — to face dealing with covid—19 for a very long time. find to face dealing with covid-19 for a very long time-— to face dealing with covid-19 for a very long time. and some of those thins, very long time. and some of those things. those _ very long time. and some of those things, those issues _ very long time. and some of those things, those issues we _ very long time. and some of those things, those issues we have - very long time. and some of those things, those issues we have to i very long time. and some of those things, those issues we have to be doing a deal with are picked up in the yorkshire post. so here's a nice look at that, the yorkshire post is looking at the mental health crisis

soaring in the pandemic are looking at employers and various, well, difficulties that we will face because of what has been in incredibly grim time. it has change society, they said, for good in this. we will see how that pans out over the next few years, but it has clearly had a huge knock on effect, particularly with mental health. now they are talking particularly about women who have suffered, many are injobs particularly about women who have suffered, many are in jobs that have ended up being furloughed in those areas, and people left to cope with this thing, the isolation of it, again, as suzi says, people who are grieving with families who have been affected by this as well. that has also affected a huge amount of people, what we want to focus on in here in this is a white paper that says that 8% of people, sorry, an increase of 8% of adults have suffered mental distress during this, and they said that during the

first lockdown, 10% of people had thoughts of suicide. so it has clearly had huge impact on mental health, and it will continue to have ramifications as well both for adults and for children. you know, the kids have onlyjust gone back, but they have been cooped up with their screens up in their rooms or wherever in the kitchen trying to keep up with work, alienated from their friends as well, so that is going to be a legacy for that generation as well, but in this, it talks about how workplaces are going to have to change businesses will have to change what they expect from their employers, and it says in here that unions are advocating the fact that unions are advocating the fact that every individual going back to work it's an assessment as to what their needs are, i'm not sure every business will do that, but the government will need to keep an eye on that and make sure that no one falls through the cracks and loses their job as a falls through the cracks and loses theirjob as a result of this if they have been under mental stress. another consequence of, the ft picks

up another consequence of, the ft picks up on it, a consequence that some people, potentialyou up on it, a consequence that some people, potential you would not have thought of this particular scenario because of what we have been going through. because of what we have been going throu~h. , , through. yes, something is happening in the us, through. yes, something is happening in the us, but— through. yes, something is happening in the us, but it _ through. yes, something is happening in the us, but it can _ through. yes, something is happening in the us, but it can in _ through. yes, something is happening in the us, but it can in theory - through. yes, something is happening in the us, but it can in theory be - in the us, but it can in theory be reflected — in the us, but it can in theory be reflected here. the drug company is behind _ reflected here. the drug company is behind one — reflected here. the drug company is behind one of the vaccines, the first vaccine to get approved, they have said — first vaccine to get approved, they have said that it is written to american _ have said that it is written to american doctors warning of delays with supplies of other drugs later in the _ with supplies of other drugs later in the year— with supplies of other drugs later in the year because so much of its resources — in the year because so much of its resources is — in the year because so much of its resources is being thrown at delivering a vaccine that some other drugs, _ delivering a vaccine that some other drugs, steroids, for example, and some _ drugs, steroids, for example, and some hormone drugs that provide are not going _ some hormone drugs that provide are not going to _ some hormone drugs that provide are not going to be as normal in the supply— not going to be as normal in the supply chain as they would suspect, so there _ supply chain as they would suspect, so there will be delays there. so then— so there will be delays there. so then there — so there will be delays there. so then there are manufacturers of glass— then there are manufacturers of glass vials for example, an urge glass— glass vials for example, an urge glass that — glass vials for example, an urge glass that they have to use for these — glass that they have to use for these vaccinations, they are also hugely— these vaccinations, they are also hugely in— these vaccinations, they are also hugely in demand, and there is not going _ hugely in demand, and there is not going to _ hugely in demand, and there is not going to be — hugely in demand, and there is not going to be enough of those, perhaps. _ going to be enough of those, perhaps, to supply things that are in the _

are racist. 6i% not people think the royal family are racist. 61% in they say they believe they are not racist. the thing, the reference to the front page where we see harry should say sorry, 50% of people think he should say sorry. there is about 30% of people who think the royal family should say sorry to meghan and harry. they're about i9% who don't know, how can you watch interview and don't know? what was the point of watching it. just clear that there is some talking points, 58% of there is some talking points, 58% of the british public have taken the survey and say they should stay out there in america with only i2% of people saying they would be welcomed back with their titles to do work. so, they have upset a few people. there are some pictures of them knocking around writing a cycle around los angeles, and it's clear that a lot of people are thinking, on your bike, harry was mike susie,

his biggest win and a first gold cup for de bromhead, who says it hasn't sunk in yet. it is incredible to think, you know, i've been coming here for a lot of years now, plenty of tough years and tough results as well, but also some great ones. to do this, though, yeah. but i say, it's everyone is working with us, all the crew, everyone at home, and everyone here, we could not do it without our client supporting us, and that will give us the opportunity to ride these big horses, just feel extremely lucky. onto football and fulham missed the chance to move out of the premier league's relegation zone after. losing 2—1 at home to leeds. patrick bamford put leeds in front in the first half. they led forjust nine minutes though — joachim andersen drawing fulham level. but it was leeds who secured the win — raphinha with the finish. leeds are 11th — fulham stay 18th,

two points from safety. slavia prague say they've lodged a criminal complaint with scottish police against rangers midfielder glen kamara following an incident during their europa league match at ibrox last night. uefa are currently investigating an allegation of racial abuse directed towards kamara by a slavia player. before the complaint was lodged, rangers' managing director stewart robertson said in a statement... well, rangers were knocked out of the europa league by the czech side, who've been drawn against arsenal in the quarterfinals. elsewhere, manchester united will face the spanish side granada who've never been in europe in before. the draw for the semi's was also made, so if united make it through, they could face ajax —

the team they beat to win the trophy in 2017. arsenal are in line for a possible meeting with dinamo zagreb, who knocked out tottenham. the champions league quarterfinal wans also down today draw has also taken place with liverpool set to play real madrid in a repeat of the 2018 final. chelsea will take on porto, and defending champions bayern munich will play paris saint germain in a repeat of last year's final. the winner of that one will face either manchester city or borussia dortmund in the semi—finals. it means dortmund's erling haaland, one of the most in—form strikers in europe, will come up against the side his father used to play for. the numbers speak for themselves. so, of course, we have the best record in the world right now at his age. so, i saw a few games, honestly, i didn't have much time, but i saw highlights come in the numbers in the champions but i saw highlights, and the numbers in the champions league and the league is impressive. so i know the quality of this player.

i think everybody knows. another football story for you. gemma grainger has been named as the new manager of wales women, on a four—year contract. the former england coach at various age groups will begin by taking charge of two friendly matches this month with her sole remit — to qualify wales for their first major tournament. the thing that excited me the most was the potential and fufilling potential. it's a passion of mine to excising strengths and grading environment to do that. i know a lot of the players and i watch the players we can and week out in the english wsl and the championship, and i'm very close to watching most women's football games, there's always a game on, so i know a lot about the players. i managed to speak to the senior players already and my conversations with them have been brilliant, and we are all looking forward to writing the next chapter starting from today. arsenal have closed the gap on champions league rivals manchester united to three points after beating casey stoney�*s side 2—0. arsenal took an early lead through an own goal from united defender millie turner,

who deflected in this effort. and lotte vubben—moy headed in after the break to double the lead. arsenal had to see out the game with ten players after beth mead was sent off. in rugby union's premiership, wasps produced an impressive fightback to beat newcastle 20—18. the away side were trailing 18—6 at half time — but two second half tries, including this from brad shields, snatched victory. the result means wasps have won seven matches in a row at newcastle — a run stretching back to 2011. in the pro 14 — ospreys staged a remarkable late comeback, to recover from 19—3 down to beat leinster 24—19 thanks to three tries in eight second half minutes. it had looked like leinster were heading for a comfortable victory, until 11 minutes from time when ospreys began their comeback. and it was this effort from josh thomas which completed a famous win. elsewhere, there were wins for munster and ulster.

and that's all the sport for now. hello there. for most of us, the weekend promises a fair amount of dry weather, the amount of cloud will vary a bit from place to place, and there will be some jumps around in temperatures as well, as we will see in a moment. this was the satellite picture then from friday showing we had some decent sunshine, particularly across parts of scotland. that was how the sunshine looked in the highlands. not far away from that, in sterlingshire, we have the highest temperature in the uk, up to 17 celsius, very mild for the time of year. but it wasn't like that everywhere, northeast england had a really chilly day on friday, just 6 celsius. a big jump upwards in temperatures, though, on the way later today. why the change? well, yesterday, we had the winds coming in from the northeast. it's all down to the wind direction, you see. these northeasterly winds brought those low temperature to eastern england because they were travelling over these really cold seas. the temperature in the waterjust 6 celsius at the moment. but the winds today are changing

direction in a big way. they are coming in from a northwesterly direction, hence that big jump upwards in temperatures widely across eastern areas of england. now, here's the weather picture over the next few hours. we've got cloud across england and wales, a few gaps in the cloud for scotland, slowly filtering into parts of northern england. and on account of the cloudy skies, it's not cold, temperatures around 6—7 celsius. on into saturday then, this weather front is going to go nowhere fast, staying across central england and wales all day. another cold front will push into the far north of the uk, bringing rain to northern scotland late in the day. could be an odd patch of drizzle as well from that slow—moving front across england and wales. that's why it's going to stay cloudy here, but we'll see some sunshine. central and southern scotland, and particularly northeast england, that's where the best of the sunshine is going to be, and it's going to be a much warmer day across northeast england. in the warmest spots, temperatures reach 17 celsius. but those northwesterly winds bringing some cooler weather into northwest england and north wales as well.

sunday, while a cold front will have moved across most of the uk bringing cloudy weather across england wales again, what that cold front is going to do, well, it's going to introduce cooler and fresher air. so sunday, temperature—wise, temperatures not quite as high, still, though, managing to reach double figures for most of us. what about next week? well, of the area of high—pressure bringing the settled weather is going to continue to influence our weather, but it will probably gradually turn a little more unsettled across the northwest.
