of australian airline qantas. a snapshot of life in england, wales and northern ireland — millions of people are to take part in a once—in—a—decade census. homes washed away in australia as heavy rain and flash floods batter the east coast, thousands of people are ordered to evacuate. over a thousand people allowed to ignore lockdown and social distancing restrictions to attend a music festival in the netherlands, despite the rest of the country being under lockdown. the anniversary of dr martin luther king's march from selma in alabama to the state capital in montgomery. i wonder how people are feeling in the wales camp after the disappointment in the six nations. i hope there is more cheerful sport to

tell us about. good morning to you. let's get the sports news with jane dougall. it was a dramatic end to wales�*s six nations game against france. they had led for much of the match, only to give away a try in the dying minutes, ending wales�*s hopes of winning the grand slam. they lost 32—30 in paris, but they can still win the tournament asjoe wilson reports. through the stage—managed metres of an empty stadium, there was no doubt about the occasion. it's all there in his face. but france were playing not simply to defy the welsh grand slam, they had their own eyes on the trophy, on the try line. there. well wales recovered immediately. watch out for dan biggar — stronger and over. the scores were level for a few seconds. this was scintillating stuff. now france were attacking again and anton dupont was soon scoring france's second try. it was just desperately frustrating and the players obviously you know got so close and yet so far. so it's a tough time

for them, but they have to be proud of performance, proud of the effort they put in throughout the championship and go away now and wait seven days to see the outcome of next week's game. ireland remain on course for a second place finish — after beating england 32—18 in their final match. keith earls with the first of their two tries. defeat means england will finish fifth in the table, it's the first time in 45 years they've lost against all of the other home nations. scotland recorded their biggest win over italy — easing to a 52—10 victory at murrayfield. duhan van der merwe scored twice — including the last of their eight tries. scotland have one more match to play, against france next friday, and they could still finish second if they win. the clean sweep is still on for manchester city. 14 points clear at the top of the premier league, a league cup final to come in april, champions league quarter—finalists and now they're into the last

four of the fa cup. they left it late to beat everton at goodison park. both goals in their 2—0 win coming in the last five minutes. kevin de bruyne wrapping it all up, much to manager pep guardiola's delight. southampton willjoin city in the last four after a comfortable win over south coast neighbours bournemonth. nathan redmond scored twice in the 3—0 win. the pressure is mounting on newcastle united and steve bruce after a 3—0 defeat to fellow strugglers brighton. neal maupay scored their third in the win that sees brighton move six points clear of the bottom three. but newcastle are nowjust two points above the relegation zone. it went to a decider, but england lost their t20 series with india after a 36 run defeat yesterday. india's dominance with the bat was the difference. captain virat kohli opened for them and hit a rapid 80.

it was tough for england's bowlers, but there was one piece of outstanding fielding. quick thinking from chrisjordan, unable to complete a catch, but tossing the ball to jason roy, who could only laugh at the brilliance of it. jos buttler and dawid malan put england in contention, but after malan went, the rest of england's batting couldn't maintain the momentum. england lost 7 wickets for 44 runs, so india comfortable winners. two—time olympic taekwondo gold medallistjadejones is unhappy that overseas fans won't be allowed into this years delayed tokyo games. she told us earlier on breakfast, she will especially miss her family while out in japan, but that she's motivated to bring home another gold for them. i can't lie, i am truly gutted. my family have been there from the youth olympics, the london olympics and the rio one.

but it has already been postponed a year and it is tough for athletes, the olympic cycle is a long one. this time, it's been five years and i'm going into ita bit older than i even would have before. so definitely want to get it done, yeah. that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, it's the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. what am i saying tomorrow? it is today! with me are katherine forster, journalist at the sunday times and james rampton, features writer for the independent. today's front pages starting with... hundreds of complaints against met police officers — the observer reports on documents which reveal a list of sex abuse claims against london's police force. the sas takes fight

to meddling russians. the telegraph lead story is on how special forces are working with mi6 to counter wide—ranging threats from spies. a sunday times investigation looks at hereditary peerage in the house of lords — with two candidates for lords speaker saying the system has to change. shameful — say the mirror — whose special investigation claims sexism, sleaze and bullying is rife in police forces across the country. the sunday express reports that the prime minister is being urged by mps to promise that all our liberties will be fully restored and protected once the pandemic is over. let'sjoin let's join katherine and james. i think you both knew it was sunday, didn't you? think you both knew it was sunday, didn't ou? ~ think you both knew it was sunday, didn't you?- there _ think you both knew it was sunday, didn't you?- there are - think you both knew it was sunday, i didn't you?- there are times didn't you? well... there are times i'm not sure — didn't you? well... there are times i'm not sure if— didn't you? well... there are times i'm not sure if it _ didn't you? well... there are times i'm not sure if it is _ didn't you? well... there are times i'm not sure if it is sunday - didn't you? well... there are times i'm not sure if it is sunday or- i'm not sure if it is sunday or saturday. next weekend will be harder, because we lose an hour. the clocks go forward. let's move on to

take a look, james can we start with the mail on sunday. eu lose it is plot on vaccine. this is getting pretty nasty. plot on vaccine. this is getting pretty nasty-— plot on vaccine. this is getting re nas . , ., pretty nasty. yes, i never thought i would say it. _ pretty nasty. yes, i never thought i would say it, but _ pretty nasty. yes, i never thought i would say it, but we _ pretty nasty. yes, i never thought i would say it, but we are _ pretty nasty. yes, i never thought i would say it, but we are sort - pretty nasty. yes, i never thought i would say it, but we are sort of - would say it, but we are sort of missing brexit, the last year of the dreadful crisis that has griped the world over coronavirus has put brexit on the back burner, but the mail on sunday is never one to forget about brexit and they're bringing it to the foreground by saying there is a war brewing. the mail loves to be at war with the eu. i don't think it is a war. it is something i knew the eu has failed compared us to, but it is something where we have to co—operate and work together, because the truth is if the whole world is not vaccinated, this pandemic won't be over. because new strains will come and we will be back to square one. we have to work together and try and persuade the

pharmaceutical companies to take the vaccines off patents so they can be produced more widely and have a sense of collaboration with our friends, which the government keep saying they are, our friends in europe, to make this work and get out of this dreadful situation. katherine, the mail perhaps not surprisingly uses phrases like holding hostage the vaccines that may not be allowed to leave the factory in belgium to the uk. but evenif factory in belgium to the uk. but even if you take out that kind of language, it was a very specific warning from the commission president ursula von der leyen that they could stop the export of doses of the astrazeneca if in their judgment the company is not delivering on promises to the eu. we were here before injanuary, where they caused — were here before injanuary, where they caused chaos over what will happen— they caused chaos over what will happen with northern ireland and

a daughter in the us and she was not able to attend her wedding. there is still no sign of her being able to visit. there is family and holiday issue and that will be excluded if europe doesn't get its act together. that's right. europe doesn't get its act together. that's right-— that's right. katherine, your paper, the story on — that's right. katherine, your paper, the story on the. — that's right. katherine, your paper, the story on the, we _ that's right. katherine, your paper, the story on the, we will— that's right. katherine, your paper, the story on the, we will have - that's right. katherine, your paper, the story on the, we will have a - that's right. katherine, your paper, the story on the, we will have a lot| the story on the, we will have a lot from the sunday times. it is a busy front—page. this is a disturbing one, cheats posing as care workers jump one, cheats posing as care workers jump vaccine queue. the one, cheats posing as care workers jump vaccine queue-— one, cheats posing as care workers jump vaccine queue. the number of --eole jump vaccine queue. the number of people being _ jump vaccine queue. the number of people being vaccinated _ jump vaccine queue. the number of people being vaccinated is - jump vaccine queue. the number of people being vaccinated is through | people being vaccinated is through the roof— people being vaccinated is through the roof now. but what is happening, because _ the roof now. but what is happening, because when you go on to the booking — because when you go on to the booking system, if you are a care worker, _ booking system, if you are a care worker, you _ booking system, if you are a care worker, you don't have to give proof at the _ worker, you don't have to give proof at the point — worker, you don't have to give proof at the point at which you book. i was surprised i booked myjab the other— was surprised i booked myjab the other day, — was surprised i booked myjab the other day, you can tick a box and turn _ other day, you can tick a box and turn up _ other day, you can tick a box and turn up and — other day, you can tick a box and turn up and lots of people who work

with the government, they're in an unenviable position. whatever they do, somebody will criticise. scientists will say don't open too quickly. look happened before. the hawks in the tory party led by steve baker and others are saying, look at the damage to the economy, industries are being wiped out, hospitality is on the floor, and weirdly i understand both viewpoints and i would not want to be in the pm's shoes, but this must be the hardest thing a ph p has faced for —— pm has faced for decades. we hardest thing a ph p has faced for -- pm has faced for decades. we are heard a chief— -- pm has faced for decades. we are heard a chief scientific _ -- pm has faced for decades. we are heard a chief scientific advisor - -- pm has faced for decades. we are heard a chief scientific advisor who . heard a chief scientific advisor who wasn't critical of the government, except for allowing the borders to remain open for the last year, despite the risk of infections and
