if i had the biggest problem, it was never a problem. investigations into exactly what caused the death of nicole and her baby are still ongoing. when i close my eyes like this right now, it's the last moment of what happened, me and her, so when i close my eyes that is literally all i see. i have to open my eyes because i don't want to get to the end of that because it still doesn't make sense. hey, guys. boga, how has your life been impacted by the loss of nicole and baby reign? i didn't think i was going to make it. because what else have i got? i've been in this country alone, alone, and it's been so hard. both: three, two, one... yes! cheering. as the one—year anniversary of the death of nicole and reign approaches, the family are still searching for answers. the family say they can't see any more about the circumstances as they are going through legal proceedings to find out how
10:31 pm
and why this happened. joice etutu, bbc news. football now and england have continued their winning start to their world cup qualifying campaign with victory over poland at wembley. our sports correspondent natalie pirks was watching. the final audition before the big show and, for some, the last chance to impress. this was the biggest test for england but poland were missing the best player in the world and england quickly took control. commentator: that's going to be a penalty. i harry kane is usually on song for his country. and he's scored in this one too! he's now scored more penalties for england than any other. poland looked toothless but england's lead was delicate and about to be shattered byjohn stones�* sudden lapse in concentration. a face of confusion, followed by one of contrition. poland suddenly had their tails up. dangerous!
10:32 pm
but england's trusty old friend, the set piece, was about to provide some much—needed composure. with mere minutes left, it was time for stones to make amends. maguire is there! that thumping finish enough to take england five points clear in the group. fair to say, though, they're still a work in progress. scotla nd scotland and northern ireland both played tonight as well, highlights follow the news there so if you don't want to know the result, hit the mute button now. scotland picked up the mute button now. scotland picked up their first win of their qualifying campaign with a 4—0 victory over the faroe islands at hamzaa park, the pick of the goals from chez adams —— hampden park. that takes them into second place in their group. northern ireland had a goalless draw with bulgaria for their first point of the group but there night will be remembered for steven davis making history by becoming the most capped player in international history in the uk. 126
10:33 pm
matches. the next match for england will be here at wembley in the euros in 76 days�* time. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are maya goodfellow, political writer and academic, and simon minty, disability consultant and comedy producer. welcome to this wednesday evening. the guardian reports on the backlash over the government's race report. campaigners describe it as "divisive" and "a missed opportunity". the times says some have described the review as "culturally deaf" because it "glorifies" the british empire. the metro leads on the news that the number
10:34 pm
of second coronavirus vaccine doses overtook first—time jabs for the first time in the uk. the sun reports that one of those who've had their second jab is the queen. but the financial times has a warning from a senior brussels policymaker who says no astrazeneca jabs will be exported from europe unless the company met its commitments to the eu bloc. and the telegraph reports on comments by the labour leader keir starmer, who has called the potential "covid passports" as un—british. so, i'll a lot to get through. very grateful to have my paper reviewers with me tonight. lovely to see you both. we're going to start with the guardian and this commission report which was commissioned by the government. its conclusions that there is no longer a rigged system
10:35 pm
against people from ethnic minorities. the report has... talk us through what you think of it, because it's had quite a various different reactions to it, quite frankly. different reactions to it, quite frankl . . �* , , ., different reactions to it, quite frankl . . �*, , ., ., different reactions to it, quite frankl. . �*, , ., ., ., frankly. yeah, there's been a lot of laces frankly. yeah, there's been a lot of places today. _ frankly. yeah, there's been a lot of places today. and _ frankly. yeah, there's been a lot of places today, and i _ frankly. yeah, there's been a lot of places today, and i think _ frankly. yeah, there's been a lot of places today, and i think this - frankly. yeah, there's been a lot of places today, and i think this is - places today, and i think this is really worsened criticism. we've already had a lot of evidence that shows britain is structured —— really welcome criticism. never mind the reams and reams and reams of academic evidence. this is something my own work is focused on. there's a lot of criticism to be made, but i think one in particular which is really important is that there's quite a lot of focus or there seems to be a lot of focus on individual prejudice, which i think it's really misleading. what we're talking about is the ways that people are being
10:36 pm
made more vulnerable through racism and how this intersects with things like gender, immigration status, class, regionally where you are in the country. the reason why this really matters is in a lot of ways, this is a matter of life and death are a lot of people. if you look at the statistics, black women are four times more likely to die during pregnancy or childbirth. up to two times more likely to die from covid. so this is a really, really, really disappointing outcome, but i think it's also very unsurprising. if you look at where this came from, the context of it, there's essentially this response in part two. the government wanting to seem like it was... what they done was organise a report on institutional racism led by people who don't know it's really an issue. from the government, they don't think it's an issue. so i think what this is intended to do is make something debatable that we
10:37 pm
know to be overwhelmingly true, britain is structurally racist. what we need a solution to that, not reports about whether it is a reality or not because we know that it is. ,, ., reality or not because we know that it is, ,, ., ., reality or not because we know that it is. ,, ., ., ., i. reality or not because we know that it is. ,, ., ., ., ,, ., ~ ., it is. simon, what do you make of it? as maya _ it is. simon, what do you make of it? as maya said, _ it is. simon, what do you make of it? as maya said, it's _ it is. simon, what do you make of it? as maya said, it's had - it is. simon, what do you make of it? as maya said, it's had an - it is. simon, what do you make of| it? as maya said, it's had an awful lot of reaction to it. ultimately, is talking about family structure, social class having a bigger impact on how people's lives turn out than race. but arguably, on how people's lives turn out than race. butarguably, it's on how people's lives turn out than race. but arguably, it's all intertwined. it's all very much part of the bigger picture, so ijust wonder how you feel, how you see the report, how it went about delivering its findings. the report, how it went about delivering its findinus. , . its findings. the piece in the guardian _ its findings. the piece in the guardian says _ its findings. the piece in the guardian says it's _ its findings. the piece in the guardian says it's a - its findings. the piece in the guardian says it's a reaction| its findings. the piece in the i guardian says it's a reaction to its findings. the piece in the - guardian says it's a reaction to it, and some — guardian says it's a reaction to it, and some mps, there's been a big miss_ and some mps, there's been a big miss opportunity. the commission for race and _ miss opportunity. the commission for race and ethnic disparities, who wrote _ race and ethnic disparities, who wrote this — race and ethnic disparities, who wrote this report, i think this will

10:40 pm
optimism and specifically looking at education being a success story for the uk ethnic minorities. i wonder if that something that many people will relate to when they think about their own experience. he will relate to when they think about their own experience.— their own experience. no one's sa in: their own experience. no one's saying nothing _ their own experience. no one's saying nothing has _ their own experience. no one's saying nothing has ever - their own experience. no one's. saying nothing has ever changed their own experience. no one's - saying nothing has ever changed and british history in relation to thinking about racism in britain, but i actually find quite a lot of the language in the report, having read it, really patronising. there is a sort of focus on so—called cultural factors, is a sort of focus on so—called culturalfactors, and it seems is a sort of focus on so—called cultural factors, and it seems to is a sort of focus on so—called culturalfactors, and it seems to be where there are major issues and major disparities, it seems to really try to boil this down to individualfault, and i think that is something we've heard... you go back to the debates of the 70s and you hear this kind of thing. actually, this really produces very racist thinking which totally stripped away structures of thought. i really think it's so deeply
10:41 pm
unhelpful, but i would say unfortunately i'm not that surprised by the outcome of this, but i would encourage everyone to go and look at that research that exists that shows what's going on in britain and what needs to be done about it.- needs to be done about it. maya, thank you- _ needs to be done about it. maya, thank you- l'm — needs to be done about it. maya, thank you. i'm sure _ needs to be done about it. maya, thank you. i'm sure we'll- needs to be done about it. maya, thank you. i'm sure we'll talk- needs to be done about it. maya, l thank you. i'm sure we'll talk about this in the next edition of the papers but let's move on to the telegraph. this particular story, sir keir starmer, the vaccine passports and the whole idea of them being un—british, and going back to the pub and showing the passport. just talk us through what the focus the telegraph has. i talk us through what the focus the telegraph has-— telegraph has. i feelthis is sir keir starmer _ telegraph has. i feelthis is sir keir starmer putting _ telegraph has. i feelthis is sir keir starmer putting a - telegraph has. i feelthis is sir keir starmer putting a marker| telegraph has. i feel this is sir i keir starmer putting a marker in telegraph has. i feel this is sir - keir starmer putting a marker in the stand _ keir starmer putting a marker in the stand fell— keir starmer putting a marker in the stand fell back stand —— in the sand — stand fell back stand —— in the sand hes— stand fell back stand —— in the sand. he's saying the vaccine passports _ sand. he's saying the vaccine passports extensively forgives... particularly if it was for everyday

10:44 pm
announced new lockdown measures for france, including things like school closing for three weeks, includes closure of nonessential shops and people won't be allowed to travel more than ten km from their home unless they have a good reason to do so. so, this is really to do with the fact that france has seen... and there's been, emmanuel macron has been grappling with this and trying to resist it in particular ways, at least since january when he was sort of ignoring what certain scientific advisers were saying because he didn't want to have these kind of lockdown measures. i think already on the 20th of march, there were some it measures introduced to increase those, and it really is a reminder that people getting vaccinated is really important around the world, notjust here in the uk. whilst that is happening in france, these kind of increases in
