hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are clare cohen, women's editor at the daily telegraph, and joe mayes, politics reporter for bloomberg. welcome to you both. tomorrow's front pages starting with the times, which reports on new allegations of sexual exploitation, bullying and mismanagement at oxfam. after the prime minister's senior adviser on ethnic minorities quit amid a row over a government—commissioned report on race, doreen lawrence says it gives "racists the green light". that's on the front page of the guardian. the sun claims brits will have to head to bahrain if they want a summer holiday, because of "sluggish" vaccination rates in countries like spain.

the i leads with an exclusive, reporting on links between the roles of david cameron's former ministers and their subsequentjobs within the private sector. the daily mail says covid passports are to be introduced, which we'll need to attend entertainment venues like theatres and football stadiums. and finally the daily mirror leads with news that we're in for a summer of fun with the entertrainment industry expecting millions in funding to help it bounce back. and we will pick up with the mirror, clare. when ever somebody says that you will have fun, it almost inevitably turns out the other way but the focus here is on the funding and an extra boost in finance to help various initiatives, festivals etc to bounce back

mps come out against which a government that has a majority of 80 should be a concern. now asjoe says we have a cross—party statement by 72 mp5 we have a cross—party statement by 72 mps who are calling it divisive. and the fact of the matter is it will be. there are a lot of younger people who feel like they have stayed indoors for the last 12 months in order to help protect their elders. they are still waiting for jabs. their elders. they are still waiting forjabs. it is the oldest members of society who are having the jab first so when this opening up comes in when these vaccine passports come into play, who is it that it's going to be opened up to? it will be divisive and i think it will be divisive and i think it will be divisive between generations and that's what everyone is very worried about. but that's what everyone is very worried about. �* ., ., , about. but how does the prime minister think— about. but how does the prime minister think about _ about. but how does the prime minister think about this? - about. but how does the prime minister think about this? we i about. but how does the prime i minister think about this? we had about. but how does the prime - minister think about this? we had a bit of a hint early on. i minister think about this? we had a bit of a hint early on.— bit of a hint early on. i think the remise bit of a hint early on. i think the premise is _ bit of a hint early on. i think the premise is clear _ bit of a hint early on. i think the premise is clear that _ bit of a hint early on. i think the premise is clear that he - bit of a hint early on. i think the premise is clear that he has - bit of a hint early on. i think the l premise is clear that he has some liberat— premise is clear that he has some liberal in — premise is clear that he has some liberal in six but at the same time he has _ liberal in six but at the same time he has commissioned this review and asked _ he has commissioned this review and asked michael gove to look at how this password should be used and the mood _ this password should be used and the mood nrusic— this password should be used and the mood music as they will have some sort of— mood music as they will have some sort of certification thing, they

that same system. there are countries in this story being suggested that we might be able to go to, the us, the maldives, multi—. but then you read on and there is a big fat caveat that because ministers are still mourning that travel will be severely suppressed for the next year. and it goes on to say that a tiered system could be in place until 2022. traffic lights are not, we look like we will still be starting to go abroad. we reported in the telegraph it could be a full —— for traffic light system, there could be a yellow in place which could be a yellow in place which could in fall of testing but not quarantining. we could be heading into another messy tiered system thatis into another messy tiered system that is very confusing and hard to understand. that is very confusing and hard to understand-— understand. 0h, 'oy, that is somethingh understand. 0h, 'oy, that is something to _ understand. 0h, joy, that is something to look - understand. 0h, joy, that is something to look forward i understand. 0h, joy, that is l something to look forward to! something else that we are hoping, daring, hoping, not helping, the daily express, joe, it has professor chris whitty and this idea that how

the country can dare to hope to have no more lockdowns and his suggestion of how to go about doing that. i'd read that covid will be with us or essentially become like a seasonal— or essentially become like a seasonal flu and hopefully we could avoid _ seasonal flu and hopefully we could avoid future lockdowns in those terms _ avoid future lockdowns in those terms but — avoid future lockdowns in those terms but you will have to accept there _ terms but you will have to accept there will— terms but you will have to accept there will be likely future deaths from _ there will be likely future deaths from covid in the winter and flu season— from covid in the winter and flu season and we don't know if the government will want social distancing measures continuing to reduce _ distancing measures continuing to reduce the death rate from covid. that will— reduce the death rate from covid. that will be something for other governments to decide in the future. chris whitty saying we won't need future _ chris whitty saying we won't need future lockdowns if we have a future mindset _ future lockdowns if we have a future mindset about this being a yearly disease, — mindset about this being a yearly disease, perhaps there will be booster— disease, perhaps there will be booster vaccinations against it but hopefully— booster vaccinations against it but hopefully that is the way to avoid lockdowns in the future. dare hopefully that is the way to avoid lockdowns in the future.- lockdowns in the future. dare we ho e. lockdowns in the future. dare we hope- thanks — to the express for that. what have a look at the telegraph which is

focusing on google, clare, the company is urging its staff to return to the office. people love it or hate it, don't they? this working from home scenario but talk us through what google is hoping will happen. through what google is hoping will ha en, through what google is hoping will hauen. , ., , happen. google is holding its employees — happen. google is holding its employees will _ happen. google is holding its employees will go _ happen. google is holding its employees will go back - happen. google is holding its employees will go back to . happen. google is holding its| employees will go back to the happen. google is holding its - employees will go back to the office although it is warning they might find it rather different. there are a couple of slightly ominous and minds in this story. firstly in future if you work at google and you want to work remotely for more than 14 days, you will need formal permission which suggests that for than the future of flexible working as we all thought might come to pass after this period is perhaps not a given. and the second thing which is very mysterious is advising employees to get vaccinated but not mandatory, and i think this will be the next row coming down the track when we all start going back to offices in greater numbers and we are faced with the prospect of sitting with colleagues who perhaps have not been vaccinated, whether they have chosen not to be vaccinated or simply have not had it

yet, i think this will cause a lot of discomfort and a lot of rows between employers, employees and colleagues. between employers, employees and colleauues. ~ ., between employers, employees and colleauues. ~ . , between employers, employees and colleauues. ~ ., , ., ., colleagues. what is your reading of this, joe? because _ colleagues. what is your reading of this, joe? because it _ colleagues. what is your reading of this, joe? because it could - this, joe? because it could potentially be the next as if we needed another row but the next row brewing. i needed another row but the next row brewina. ~ �* , needed another row but the next row brewina. ,, �*, ., ,. ., brewing. i think it's fascinating how the corporate _ brewing. i think it's fascinating how the corporate world - brewing. i think it's fascinating how the corporate world is - brewing. i think it's fascinating - how the corporate world is dividing on the _ how the corporate world is dividing on the question of whether they want people _ on the question of whether they want people coming back in or not. goldman _ people coming back in or not. goldman sachs is we won't have to come _ goldman sachs is we won't have to come in. _ goldman sachs is we won't have to come in. you — goldman sachs is we won't have to come in, you have google indicating the set _ come in, you have google indicating the set -- _ come in, you have google indicating the set -- as— come in, you have google indicating the set —— as well, joe debussy, lioyds. — the set —— as well, joe debussy, lloyds, others hinting this is the future _ lloyds, others hinting this is the future it— lloyds, others hinting this is the future it is— lloyds, others hinting this is the future. it is almost become a point of differentiation between companies to their— of differentiation between companies to their approach to work culture and the — to their approach to work culture and the back bhr from place to go to different— and the back bhr from place to go to different companies. i think this will be _ different companies. i think this will be fascinating as it plays out and we _ will be fascinating as it plays out and we get back into the office and intriguing — and we get back into the office and intriguing for workers.— intriguing for workers. certainly, i know people _ intriguing for workers. certainly, i know people want _ intriguing for workers. certainly, i know people want to _ intriguing for workers. certainly, i know people want to get - intriguing for workers. certainly, i know people want to get back, i intriguing for workers. certainly, i- know people want to get back, people have kind of got on and been ok but it will be fascinating to see what happens next. let's have a

look at the guardian because i know the story that is continuing to get comment, clare, his reaction to the race report that we heard yesterday. a lot of different opinions on it. now we are hearing from lady lawrence, doreen lawrence, the mother of stephen lawrence who has described this report in not exactly a positive way. trio. described this report in not exactly a positive way-— a positive way. no, she hasn't for some in fact _ a positive way. no, she hasn't for some in fact she _ a positive way. no, she hasn't for some in fact she has _ a positive way. no, she hasn't for some in fact she has used - a positive way. no, she hasn't for. some in fact she has used incredibly strong words to describe it. she's a saint it will push back the fight against racism by 20 years in this country. —— she is saying. she said it is giving it a green light to racists which could hardly be more stronger or stark language. this comes amid academics and historians coming out today who were credited on this report and apparently stakeholders and it coming forward and saying "i wasn't involved in it, my words have manipulated from

perhaps a government event i attended or i had nothing to do with it and i would not have been involved with that had i been asked." there is his huge row blowing up over it and none of it is likely to comfort anyone that in leading voices in the bame committee are being respected or listened to which was probably you would imagine the whole point of the report in the first place. jae the whole point of the report in the first lace. , ., i. ., , the whole point of the report in the first lace. , ., ,, ., , ., first place. joe your thoughts on this because _ first place. joe your thoughts on this because it's _ first place. joe your thoughts on this because it's something - first place. joe your thoughts on this because it's something we i first place. joe your thoughts on i this because it's something we are continuing to talk about and this is the commission on race and ethnic disparities, its study and yeah, people are not getting the kind of what the government had hoped to the reaction it is getting. the government _ reaction it is getting. the government commissioned this report to answer— government commissioned this report to answer the question of to what e>

for their opening round. they're both three shots off the lead currently held by thailand's paphangorn tavatanakit. there were two games in rugby leagues super league this evening, with all this weeks games dedicated to former player mossy masoe, whose career was ended by a spinal injury last year. clubs sold virtual tickets for the matches to raise money for his foundation. two of his former clubs were up against each other with reigning champions st helens comfortable 25—0 winners over hull kr. regan grace with two of the trys. wigan warriors have their second win of the season as well after they beat wakefield 34—6. the sides were level at the break but wigan ran away with it in the second half — thanks mainly to a hat—trick from wingerjake bibby. the former bournemouth boss eddie howe is now the clear favourite to become the new celtic manager. the bbc understands that talks

are now at an advanced stage. howe, who has been out of work since leaving bournemouth in august, has held discussions with members of the club's board. celtic have been without a permanent manager since neil lennon resigned in february. the leicester city manager brendan rodgers says it's 'great news�* that their fa cup semi—final against southampton appears to have been selected as the first football event to pilot the return of fans. reports suggest that the game, on the 18th of april, will have 4,000 supporters attending. it's the second of the two matches at wembley that weekend, but it's understood they won't be fans of the two teams. instead, they're likely to be local residents and possibly some health workers too. i think it's great news. it's a start in getting

supporters back in two stadiums and 4000 in a 90 plus thousand stadium looks small, but i think it's the access for supporters. of course both teams would have loved to have been their own supporters given the opportunity, but at least we are making movements towards supporters coming back. so that's great news. it will be great to have supporters back. real madrid look like they'll be without their captain, sergio ramos, for both legs of their champions league quarter—final against liverpool, because of a calf injury. ramos picked it up on internatoinal duty with spain, and his club revealed the nature of the injury this afternoon. reports suggest ramos could be out for about a month. he's also likely miss the latest clasico game against barcelona. worcester warriors winger chris ashton has been banned for six weeks after his red card for dangerous play against northampton on saturday. that means the former england international will miss all but the last two premiership games. his suspension won't end untiljune. worcester are seven points adrift at the bottom of the table.

helena rowland will start at fly—half for england, in their opening women's six nations match against scotland on saturday. the number 10 shirt was up for grabs following the retirement of world cup winning captain katy daly—mclean, and head coach simon middleton says rowland's main competitor for the position. zoe harrison of saracens, who was due to be on the bench, has been dropped because of a breach of covid protocols. zoe was selected, she was elected onto the bench that we've got a few protocols in place through the camp that are integral to our environment, and one is reporting it in the morning on a regular basis, and slight misdemeanor with her reporting in and we have taken her down from this game. motor sport's newest event — extreme e — gets underway this weekend with "desert x prix" in saudi arabia. the competition is an fia—sanctioned off—road racing series, which will take place in remote parts of the world to raise

awareness of climate change. it's also gender equal — with one male and one female driver on each team. jamie chadwick from veloce racing is one of those looking forward to the new season. basically the whole concept is we are raising electric suvs all around the world, but there's one male driver and one female driver. you do one lap each and a driver change in the middle. with the electric vehicles and apply from that we have we are going to be advocating for climate change and with the male and female driver also promoting some gender equality as well. so it's an amazing platform, one that i've never experienced before in motorsport but i think ultimately the racing is going to be really exciting as well. i'm racing against the likes ofjensen, some of the biggest names in the sport. for sure is the highest level i would have raised that but yes i think it's different than anything
