lovely to see you both. a quick look through the front pages today or tomorrow. —— for tomorrow. —— for tomorrow. the sunday telegraph leads on allegations of sexual assault and rape culture at several elite schools. it says a major whitehall investigation will look at how schools have responded. the independent reports that former prime minister david cameron's flagship youth project — the national citizens service — is failing to meet targets, despite receiving £1.3 billion in funding since 2011. a third vaccine will be rolled out in the uk from mid—april, according to the mail on sunday. it says the moderna jab will be used to boost vaccines offered to the under—50s. the sunday people hails this year as the summer of love, and says 300 weddings could take place each day as lockdown eases. and the sunday express reports the prime minister is "optimistic"

that the roadmap out of restrictions in england will go ahead as planned. 0k, ok, so let's start our chat. penny and martin, lovely to see you both. we will start with the mail on sunday and penny, if you could start. with that, please. it is good news. , ., ., ., news. yes, all about the moderna vaccine, which _ news. yes, all about the moderna vaccine, which we _ news. yes, all about the moderna vaccine, which we have _ news. yes, all about the moderna vaccine, which we have not - news. yes, all about the moderna vaccine, which we have not heard| vaccine, which we have not heard that much about. we have been talking about the oxford astrazeneca and pfizer, which some people are calling, i don't know about you, but describing one as the patriotically one—on—one as the taste the difference, the pfizer, because the effort in keeping it that cold. moderna is the american one, 500,000

vaccinations on their way. protecting people, i have been looking at statistics and 9a.1% after you have had two vaccines. it is fascinating, the differences in the side—effects. there are side—effects to all of them. not that you will get them or everybody gets them or anything else, but they are saying there are side—effects and more often than not, it seems to be with the second one. nevertheless, much less problematic than actually getting covid. at as you say, it looks like it is good news because there were worries with the shenanigans going on with europe that this brilliant vaccination roll—out was going to suddenly start stuttering. roll-out was going to suddenly start stutterinu. ~ . roll-out was going to suddenly start stuttering.- yes, _ roll-out was going to suddenly start stuttering.- yes, i— roll-out was going to suddenly start stuttering.- yes, i think - roll-out was going to suddenly start stuttering.- yes, i think we | all stuttering. martin. yes, ithink we all benefit from _ stuttering. martin. yes, ithink we all benefit from more _

these things, being tarred with the same brush and that it is about bringing them up right. and actually, essentially saying, where are the parents in this? because let's face it, it does not happen in a vacuum and perhaps there are so many other things at play here. there will be many people talking about pornography, online pornography, how much easier it is now, what is going on online, all these other sorts of things. but so much of it is also about the girls who feel pressurised into doing these things, let alone being cornered, hideous things happening to them. and of course, as we find so often in these cases, feeling perhaps as well that may be it was either partly their fault or that it was just them. and this, wasjust them. and this, thank goodness these things are coming out

particularly if you've got children, can you imagine trying to sort all that out and have you got the right stuff, how old are they, they've turned an age when they should have had the vaccine, they haven't, what are we going to do? i think it's got to be more tidy than it is at the moment before that happens. martin, the exress moment before that happens. martin, the exnress and _ moment before that happens. martin, the express and an _ moment before that happens. martin, the express and an optimistic - moment before that happens. martin, the express and an optimistic boris i the express and an optimistic boris johnson on its front page?- the express and an optimistic boris johnson on its front page? yeah, we are seeinr johnson on its front page? yeah, we are seeing this _ johnson on its front page? yeah, we are seeing this move _ johnson on its front page? yeah, we are seeing this move by _ johnson on its front page? yeah, we are seeing this move by the - are seeing this move by the government to try to change mindset and try— government to try to change mindset and try to _ government to try to change mindset and try to make everyone happy and excited _ and try to make everyone happy and excited about the prospect of monday bein- excited about the prospect of monday being the _ excited about the prospect of monday being the first step back towards normality, april 12 being the pubis starting _ normality, april 12 being the pubis starting to— normality, april 12 being the pubis starting to open properly, then may and june. _ starting to open properly, then may andjune, further starting to open properly, then may and june, further steps down that path. _ and june, further steps down that path. but — and june, further steps down that path, but this is a very upbeat boris — path, but this is a very upbeat borisjohnson toasting a path, but this is a very upbeat boris johnson toasting a happy monday— boris johnson toasting a happy monday for us in 48 hours' time and the government talking about a lift off for— the government talking about a lift off for the economy and a huge proportion through the reopening of the economy as a consequence of them

not turned back. these pictures are our first sight of where they initially stay, children packed into confined areas, surrounded by screens and republicans are blaming the president. this crisis was created by the presidential policies. there's no way to claim it. it's a biden border crisis. they are ho - in: it's a biden border crisis. they are hoping nobody _ it's a biden border crisis. they are hoping nobody sees _ it's a biden border crisis. they are hoping nobody sees the _ it's a biden border crisis. they are hoping nobody sees the tragic - it's a biden border crisis. they are i hoping nobody sees the tragic human cost hoping nobody 5ee5 the tragic human cost of— hoping nobody sees the tragic human cost of their failed policy. and the government says this is on donald trump. trump dismantled the way children could make claims in their home countries. he dismantled the central american minor programme, we are rebuilding those

orderly and safe processes. joe biden has put kamala harris in charge of this and she acknowledges there is a lot of work to be done. we've been in office less than 100 days, we are addressing it and dealing with it. it will take time. are we frustrated, are you frustrated? yes, we are. frustration for kamala harris, frustration for republicans, frustration all around. where does responsibility lie? for all his criticism of donald trump, hasjoe biden made the situation worse and is this a problem with no obvious solution? let's work through it, starting with the numbers. here is the us—mexico border, more than 3,000km long, the most frequently crossed international border in the world. this graphic shows the number of encounters with us border patrol. you will see a peak in 2019, then a sharp fall, then a rise in 2020, so beforejoe biden took office and we should note, for this time of year, march 2021 is higher than three previous years.

also, look at this. the number of unaccompanied children is rising. that started under president trump and it's increased more rapidly under president biden. and we know where they are coming from. some from mexico, others from guatemala, honduras, el salvador and nicaraguans and the question at the heart of their stories and this issue for the white house is why they are heading to the us. this is one reason. these pictures show the aftermath of hurricane iota last year. many lost homes. and the pandemic, which has disrupted everything, creating reasons to leave and reasons to delayjourneys. both explain the current surge on the borders and drug cartels, political repression and poverty, all of these reasons leading people to conclude that the us might be their best, perhaps only, hope.

the bbc�*s sophie long spoke to some people heading to the border. sophie long: these boys fled violence and poverty. - they don't know who president biden he is. all this man knows is how hard it was to say goodbye to his mum and young siblings. they didn't know ofjoe biden but the president is part of the equation for others. this is a photo of a protest in tijuana on the mexican side of the border. "biden, please let us in," read the t—shirts. and listen to this teenage boy. and whether right or wrong, this expectation is repeatedly being heard. translation: these teenagers get l here now with the hope joe biden. will let them in as refugees. some us officials are drawing similar conclusions. before the new president, we didn't have these kinds of numbers coming across.

we see children all the time. we caught one on monday coming from bolivia that was 10 years old, by himself. does this add up? joe biden is only two months into his presidency. can we really connect him to what's happening? tojudgejoe biden, we need to look at the numbers but also at how the us is treating people. this audio, obtained by propublica, reportedly came from inside a borderfacility in texas during the trump administration. you can hear children separated from their parents and calling out for them. children cry. this was one of the most divisive moments of donald trump's presidency and after all, he stopped the child separation policy, but not before hundreds of children had been taken from their parents. and joe biden led the condemnation. now they can't find over 500

sets of those parents and the kids are alone, nowhere to go, nowhere to go. it's criminal. it's criminal, and it makes us a laughing stock and violates every notion of who we are as a nation. joe biden was also clear that if he were president, the us would help those in need. i would in fact make sure that we immediately surged to the border all those people seeking asylum. they deserve to be heard, that's who we are. and if this wasn't clear enough, he also said this. where a nation says if you want to flee and you are fleeing oppression, you should come. nowjoe biden is pesident and he's taking immediate action. we are going to work on the moral and national shame of the previous administration, literally, not figuratively, ripped people from the arms of their families, of mothers and fathers, at the border. this all got attention, as did the shift on the unaccompanied children. and the president

added to his message. i can say clearly, don't come, don't leave your town or city or community. so first come, then don't come until we tell you to, all while changing the rules on children and republican senator mitt romney has tweeted: now, as we've seen, the data appears to show a rise in the number of unaccompanied children after the change of policy and that rise in arrivals means more children are in facilities like this and on that, the white house had this to say. it's not acceptable but i think the challenge here is that there are not that many options. the argument being the trump

administration didn't maintain sufficient facilities, but the trump administration is no longer in power and it also didn't change the policy on unaccompanied children, and pressure is growing. the democratic congresswoman alexandria 0casio—cortez has tweeted about the children situation, saying: and these pictures i showed you earlier were released by another democrat, a texas congressman, henry cuellar, who wants to show people what's happening. and underlying all this concern from across the political spectrum is the question of whether the president has perhaps been naive, because make no mistake, americans loathed the child separation policy, many wanted the biden administration to treat children differently, to treat them better, but changing the policy straightaway before facilities are ready risks an influx and risks children ending up in unacceptable conditions. and some would argue it also doesn't address the more fundamental issue

here because the border between the us is largely closed at the moment, because of the pandemic and thousands of people are waiting in makeshift camps like these but of course the border won't stay closed forever and when it opens, just like his predecessors, joe biden will need to outline how him plans to manage america's borders when many, many people want to get in. as sabrina rodriguez writes in politico: to that, some would add that while the work on the border is urgent, it's actually america's role in the region beyond its borders that may offer the longer term solution. have a listen tojonathan blitzer from the new yorker:

biden's pitch to the american people was in part simply that he wasn't donald trump, that he would follow the science on the pandemic, stop spreading misinformation. this was a low bar. immigration is harder, much harder and cramped detention centres filling up with unaccompanied children is a long way from joe biden's vision of america, but that's what's happening and his next move matters both to those children and his presidency. hello. the clocks going forward an hour means british summer time is getting under way. the weather may not be up to summer standards just yet,

but it is going to feel very springlike over the next few days. some warmth on the way. although in north—west scotland, heavy rain could cause flooding. that rain already showing its hand across central parts of the uk on sunday, drifting northwards up into scotland and then really becoming focused on higher ground in western scotland. elsewhere, a lot of cloud, but some brightness. the wind helping to break that cloud up, with gusts of 40 to 50 mph, even stronger in exposed spots. so where you do see a little bit of brightness, maybe yorkshire, lincolnshire, east anglia, 15 or 16 degrees is possible. through sunday night into monday morning, you can see the rain continues, especially heavy and persistent across high ground in western scotland. some localised flooding is possible here. an exceptionally mild night and mild start to monday. a very warm couple of days ahead. 23 possibly in the south on tuesday. but then it turns much cooler again for the end of the week.
