so let's begin... jasmine, at the start, hello to you both, the daily mail, lifting the lock down faster. they are picking up lock down faster. they are picking up what the covid—19 research group backbench mps have been saying over in recent months. yes. backbench mps have been saying over in recent months.— in recent months. yes. that issue. i think the government _ in recent months. yes. that issue. i think the government is _ in recent months. yes. that issue. i think the government is in - in recent months. yes. that issue. i think the government is in quite - in recent months. yes. that issue. i think the government is in quite a i think the government is in quite a tricky position at the moment. ii hand, the messaging is that the vaccine rely is going really well but then on the flip side, there is a sense that we have been told to be cautious in that it is too early to go and hug our grandparents. so the messaging and some of the data coming through is in quite matching and i think the government are quite nervous but particularly this week where we see the listing of some restrictions and slightly higher weather that actually people won't follow the rules as they should be doing. and also a sense that the government is very conscious of what happening in europe where see a new rising number of infections and so
11:34 pm
they are also fears of an ovarian and so while the government is under and so while the government is under a lot of pressure from tory backbenchers to increase the role the ability of lifting restrictions in the speed through things faster, i think will see the government stick to his rather cautious approach going forward. what are our approach going forward. what are your thoughts. — approach going forward. what are your thoughts, eve? _ approach going forward. what are your thoughts, eve? i— approach going forward. what are your thoughts, eve? i agree - approach going forward. what are your thoughts, eve? i agree with | your thoughts, eve? i agree with what jasmine _ your thoughts, eve? i agree with what jasmine had _ your thoughts, eve? i agree with what jasmine had just _ your thoughts, eve? i agree with what jasmine had just said. - your thoughts, eve? i agree with what jasmine had just said. it - your thoughts, eve? i agree with what jasmine had just said. it is| your thoughts, eve? i agree with | what jasmine had just said. it is a pity we _ what jasmine had just said. it is a pity we finally got, can be hug and close _ pity we finally got, can be hug and close and — pity we finally got, can be hug and close and now we have been told not to be _ close and now we have been told not to be and _ close and now we have been told not to be and as — close and now we have been told not to be and as a grandparent i want that hug. — to be and as a grandparent i want that hug, possibly keeping one face away but _ that hug, possibly keeping one face away but i _ that hug, possibly keeping one face away but i think that this mint is very— away but i think that this mint is very strong group of backbench mps pushing _ very strong group of backbench mps pushing and pushing to come out of lockdown_ pushing and pushing to come out of lockdown earlier because they are worried _ lockdown earlier because they are worried about the economy. and they are for— worried about the economy. and they are for nhs— worried about the economy. and they are for nhs areas they have said they have — are for nhs areas they have said they have no desk from back over to over the _ they have no desk from back over to over the last — they have no desk from back over to over the last weekend so that is given— over the last weekend so that is given them the impetus to push even harden _ given them the impetus to push even harden -- _ given them the impetus to push even harder. —— and no deaths from. the

11:36 pm
making any hard promises i think i recognise that and said the situation in europe remains quite uncertain and theyjust trying to keep all options on the table at the moment which makes political sense but it is quite frustrating for the general public trying to make plans and try to figure out where they can and try to figure out where they can and cannot go the next coming months. ., ., ., months. the final thought on the front -a~e months. the final thought on the front page come _ months. the final thought on the front page come as _ months. the final thought on the front page come as a _ months. the final thought on the front page come as a former - months. the final thought on the . front page come as a former flixster editor, this has to be a classic photo. the three girls drinking champagne. —— fleet street. iwonder if that went on expenses. laughter must go to the times. leading with the story, and other classic front page picture, three for my students in cambridge. —— three female students. have fun. tricky to get the tone right. have fun but be careful. . ~ the tone right. have fun but be careful. , ,, . ., , ., careful. yes. i think washington did aet careful. yes. i think washington did net the

11:42 pm
context among the trial is slightly different, where presidentjoe biden who has place to tackle racial inequality, but obviously racism isn't solved by one person and one president and it takes to and shins and businesses and individuals to change. and i think the trial is also on the police as well and looking at the use of disproportionate force in america because it is notjust george floyd, eric garner, breonna taylor, and so i think it is quite a sensitive trial and one that will definitely pose quite awkward questions for american law enforcement and americans themselves commit figuring out what will racism looks like in 2021. �* , ., out what will racism looks like in 2021. ~ , . ., out what will racism looks like in 2021. �* , ., ., ., 2021. any trial that will need to show america _ 2021. any trial that will need to show america in _ 2021. any trial that will need to show america in the _ 2021. any trial that will need to show america in the world - 2021. any trial that will need to - show america in the world because black lives matter.— show america in the world because black lives matter. yes. yes i think at times has _ black lives matter. yes. yes i think at times has a _ black lives matter. yes. yes i think at times has a very _ black lives matter. yes. yes i think at times has a very good _ black lives matter. yes. yes i think at times has a very good headline l at times has a very good headline and says— at times has a very good headline and says america's stops to watch this that — and says america's stops to watch this that -- — and says america's stops to watch this trial. —— america stops. i've spoken— this trial. —— america stops. i've spoken to — this trial. —— america stops. i've spoken to american relatives and people _ spoken to american relatives and people there. they have all been to

11:44 pm
have to go through every day and that trickle down in the schools. it was initiallyjust a harm that we may think for the private school and it expanded to state schools and we we are really hearing quite harrowing accounts of young girls detailing situations where they didn't feel protected or supported by the school. and they were experiencing something that they couldn't quite articulate and didn't quite realise what was happening and then hindsight they realise that actually what they were going through less dramatic and should never have happened. so i think there are serious questions to be asked about how we are protecting girls in school and what we are teaching boys in school and just how this whole issue is percolated and how we make sure children are safe as possible in school. bzieri; how we make sure children are safe as possible in school.— as possible in school. very strong statements _ as possible in school. very strong statements over _ as possible in school. very strong statements over the _ as possible in school. very strong statements over the last - as possible in school. very strong statements over the last few - as possible in school. very strong j statements over the last few days from the chief constables simon bailey of the national police chief counsel clergy parent to take their sense to the police if they thought they were responsible. that's a urging parents to take their sons to the police. describing it as the

11:47 pm
what is going on in our schools and what is going on in our schools and what more can we do to make sure this doesn't happen again. and i think a lot of mps have commented about this, the department for education is about and something that will go on for quite a long time, quite a lot of scrutiny to see where the story goes next and what schools do. ~ . . where the story goes next and what schools do-— schools do. maria miller calling for a deep dive _ schools do. maria miller calling for a deep dive investigation - schools do. maria miller calling for a deep dive investigation by - schools do. maria miller calling for. a deep dive investigation by ofsted. why hasn't this situation improve? let's go to the ft. david cameron seemed to clear some of the restrictions that he himself put into place when it came to lobbying but now facing potential problems it seems from the committee and standards on public life. this is about his links and his employment for a financier. well, i think there's always a thin line between government and business and

city at the end of the season. it's been confirmed that the striker�*s contract, which expires at the end of the campaign, will not be renewed. he's their record goalscorer, having joined the club in 2011. the club say they hope to have thousands of supporters at the final home game of the season against everton, where they will pay tribute to the player. well, this is some of what aguero had to say on social media — what a ten years it has been. aguero has amassed an incredible 257 goals in 384 appearances in his ten years at the club. four premier league titles, one fa cup and five league cups. there's certain players within football and world football,
11:53 pm
even at the age of 32 — he's going to be 33 in the summer — that the premier league might be too physicalfor him right now. and the demand pep needs from his players, that might be the reason he won't. but you're telling me if aguero's fit, fully fit, even at the age of 33 for next season, that he can't score 15, 20, 25 goals a season — of course he can. after two of his team—mates were racially abused, wales captain gareth bale says he would be prepared tojoin a social media boycott to tackle online abuse. ben cabango and rabbi matondo were targetted on instagram after the win over mexico. wales face the czech republic tomorrow, but three players won't be involved after being sent home for breaking team rules. tomos dafydd has more. the message is clear— but the problem persists. after another weekend when black players were targeted online, there are yet again calls for action. gareth bale, who has close to 44 million followers on instagram,
11:54 pm
suggests a coalition of sport stars, and other personalities boycotting social media could force change. if we had a campaign where a lot of big influencing people in sport, and other forms of life came off social media to make the statement, yeah, i definitely think it could help. if that was the case, i'm obviously all for that. rabbi matondo criticised social media companies, accusing instagram of doing nothing. any form of abuse like that is completely unacceptable. we should have acted straightaway. i had breakfast with both players the following morning and made sure that they were in the right frame of mind and as least affected by it as possible. rabbi matondo and ben cabangojoin a growing list of players who have been suggested to online abuse.

the former france world cup winner has described racism on social media is too toxic to ignore. he disabled all of his accounts on saturday. people are getting abused - on what they wear, how they speak, ijust felt personally for me j it was time to take a stand. it is easy to get an account and get away with it sometime. _ many want users to have to give more information when opening an account so they can't hide behind anonymity. facebook, which owns instagram, says it has permanently removed to the accounts from which the messages were sent. it's committed it says to doing more. wales management, they will discuss with players the possibility of stepping away from social media during the european championships this summer. the faw say they will do all they can't away ways

11:57 pm
it's looking forward to a really great summer of sport. we've seen through this covid crisis that one of the biggest determinants apart from age is your physical health, and getting kids started early in good health is essential. it's great to see kids loving sport and enjoying it. it's notjust good for physical health, it's good for their mental health as well. one of the fa cup semi—finals at wembley could be used as a pilot event for the wider return of spectators. it mayjust be local residents invited next month, but it could be up to 4000 people. and that's all the sport for now. hello. after the warmest day of the year so far on monday, we've got more warm weather in the forecast over the next few days for most places away from the northwest of scotland, where it is going to be pretty wet. warm sunshine, though, widely across england and wales.
