11:31 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are henry zeffman, chief political correspondent at the times and rachel cunliffe, deputy online editor at the new statesman. tomorrow's front pages. let's start with the daily mail, it leads with new travel guidelines — with the transport secretary set to confirm a �*traffic light�* system to allow foreign travel to restart as soon as next month. the telegraph says there's a backlash to those new travel plans, which could see familes paying hundreds of pounds for covid tests if they take trips abroad. the guardian also reports on plans for foreign travel. but its lead story is the violence in northern ireland — it sastoe biden has added to calls for calm — after what police in belfast described
11:32 pm
as the worst rioting in years. the financial times says president biden is calling for big multinational companies to pay levies to national based on local sales. medical leaders are urging people to keep taking the astrazeneca vaccine, saying it is safe and that the benefits far outweigh any risk. that's in the i. the same story makes the front page of the times — it carries a poll which suggests britons overwhelmingly trust the oxford—astrazeneca coronavirus jab. and, a different story in the sun. it says derek draper, the husband of broadcaster kate garraway, is back home — after more than a year in hospital with covid. so, let's begin.
11:33 pm

11:36 pm
so that people can start planning and start getting their revenue. but that's one of the issues there. another part of the plant is that trying to avoid the chaos of last year, when countries would switch once a week. there was a review and then there be a last minute scramble flights back to france or spain or portugal. there's going to be a watch list of countries that might change status and that means people with anxiety, it is great can see there watch her holiday destination slowly get more get more and more covid—19 so the chance of you getting there is less and less. at the planets of you getting there is less and less. it's a plan it's important there is a plan because there are people that you haven't seen for over a year, people in the industry that are at risk of losing their jobs industry that are at risk of losing theirjobs but i think they're going to have a foreign travel plan. in their crowds of people from different countries and spreading

11:41 pm
the risk of covid—19 is so low that for younger people, it balances out with the very low probability list of the risk of blood clots. there is very important distinction to make because it's basically saying that underneath almost all circumstances, the risk of getting covid—19 in the reaction to that is far greater than any side effect of the vaccine and it is heartening that people seem to have understood that and it's a very understood and wants message that the government is trying to get across. i would question whether announcing then the press conference is the best way to go but there is a line that the vaccine confidence is higher in the uk than any other country that it's being measured in and i think that is something we should really take pride in and focus on because there still vaccine hesitancy and it's really important that we talk about the risk factors holistically and in the context

that's it for the papers tonight — from us all goodnight. good evening, i'm austin halewood with your latest sports news. the masters is in full swing at augusta back in its traditional spring position in the calendar. but while the azaleas are in bloom and the spectators are back on the course, it's been a tough first round for some golf�*s biggest names. five months ago american dustin johnson won his first green jacket with a record score of 20—under—par. there were moments of that magic today but even he struggled. 0nly managing to finish on two over par. it was another disappointing opening round for rory mcilroy as well. still looking to complete a career
11:52 pm
grand slam he finished on four over. englishman lee westwood is a shot further back on five over par. he had seven bogeys in a round of 68. but while so many struggled, england'sjustin rose has had the round of the day. you can keep up to date with all the latest scores from augusta on the bbc sport website. now to football and it's been a busy night in the europa league with the first leg matches of all four quarterfinals. manchester united took a big step towards the final four with a 2—0 win over granada in spain. but in london, arsenal could only manage a draw after conceding a dramatic late equaliser against slavia prague. stuart pollitt watched the action. this was granada's first european quarter final. it was manchester united's 27th. enthusiasm versus experience in southern spain. the europa league may be a long and convoluted competition so united

11:54 pm
relief but no time to relax as tomas holes powered a last minute header past bernd leno. arsenal's hopes well and truly checked ahead of the second leg in prague. sp, bbc news. staying with football, swansea city say they won't post anything on social media for the next seven days to take a stand against continuing online racist abuse. the championship club say the first team squad, academy professionals, their women's team and club staff will boycott all channels for the next week. three of their players were recently targeted with abuse online. we are not doing this and expecting everyone to follow us. if they do, been great because that means you've done a positive thing.
11:55 pm
the first and foremost, we are looking after our own and showing a bit of united front and what is going on in our circle, if you like. if this helps fight the bigger issues and if you want to follow us, then great. but that's got to be down to the clubs in particular. rangers are also making a stand — they announced tonight that their players and staff will boycott social media for a week. the club say they want to underline "a lack of accountability and responsibility" from social media outlets. midfielder glen kamara and strikers alfredo morelos and kemar roofe have all been targeted. now it's been a great day for sir alex ferguson — not only did manchester united win — but the former manager had a share in each of the first three winners at the grand national festival at aintree. all eyes were on the two time national winner tiger roll in the betway bowl chase, but he could only finish a very distant fourth as,
11:56 pm
clan des 0beaux brought up the hat—trick for ferguson, ridden by harry cobden and trained by paul nicholls — he came home 26 lengths clear. sir alex says it's the best day's racing he's had since getting involved in the sport 20 years ago. how about that. those are his words, not mine. yeah, it was a great performance. ahead of the club, one of better performances and likely done the last two years and keeping it fresh. the french open will start a week later than scheduled, it will run from the 30th may to the 13th ofjune. tournament organisers at roland garros say they want the largest number of fans to be able to attend, and with france in a third national lockdown, moving the championships will give them the best possible chance. now this will impact on the grass court season in the build up to wimbledon. the lta say they are looking at the implications for their events and might make changes to the calendar as well.
11:57 pm
meanwhile there was a shock defeat for british number one dan evans in the last 16 of the sardinia 0pen. evans had four match points, after coming from a set down, but couldn't take any of them. he eventually lost in a third set tie break to world number 90 lorenzo musetti of italy. and of course you can get more on all of those stories on the bbc sport website but that's all the sport for now. have a very good night. hello there. fridays sees the return of the arctic air for many areas, widespread frost and the risk of some ice because we have seen some rain, sleet and snow and a lot more to the south because we have seen them introducing the change. with that northerly

arctic wind which is slowly easing, we had some gales through the night and they will accentuate that chilly field. with showers there, more sunshine than we saw yesterday. instead further south, we see more burst of rain and sleet on the hills as well. we hold onto double figures but as i say, that she'll will be held for the north despite more sunshine. that will be held for the north despite more sunshine. this weather front travels into the weekend and it never goes away and it could reinvigorate, giving us more rain, some held snow to the southeast or southern eastern areas of brisk wind while most it is crisp sunshine and wintry showers. there is more online, including the warnings.
