new details have emerged about the scale of government lobbying involving the former prime minister, david cameron. the easing of lockdown in england — nonessential shops will reopen tomorrow for the first time in more than three months. now the sport wirh jane dougall. what a day it was for rachael blackmore yesterday. she admitted she was �*blown away�* after making history at aintree — becoming the first female jockey to win the grand national. before racing began, tributes were made to the duke of edinburgh with a two—minute silence. and then, in the big race of the day, blackmore guided ii—i shot minella times to victory — easily finishing ahead of balko des flos and any second now. she's the first woman to win the grand national.
9:34 am
it's hard to even comprehend it right now, to be honest, it hasn't even sunk in. the aintree grand national is the first race as a kid that would have caught my imagination or sparked my interest. to finish with your head in front is just beyond belief. there could be a new owner of the famous green jacket later today, if hideki matsuyama can hold his nerve. he leads the masters by four shots heading into the final day. a stunning bogey—free round of 65 saw him overtakejustin rose at the top of the leaderboard, leaving the englishman with work to do at augusta. michael redford reports. day three is moving day at the masters — a chance for the players to climb up the leaderboard, or perhaps hope they don't fall down it. justin rose was aiming to simply stay put. the englishman had a one—shot lead heading into his penultimate round. time to get back into the swing of things. something he managed to do quickly. back—to—back birdies on the opening two holes saw him extend his advantage.
9:35 am
but augusta isn't that easy. back—to—back bogeys soon followed. commentator: and that's another one gone. there was, though, no immediate threat from any rival — at least not on the court. —— at least not on the course. above him, though, a problem. a weather warning given, play suspended. and when it resumed, the winds of change were very much blowing. no more so than with hideki matsuyama. resuming on hole 11, he went to six under par in his final eight holes. a new leader had emerged. but there is a big chasing pack. xander schauffele is four shots back, alongside marc leishman and will zalatoris. canadian corey conners is on 6—under, one ahead of the greatjordan speith. and as for rose, well, he stayed put on seven under par. that means today it's time for him to make his move. michael redford, bbc news. in the premier league, manchester city's lead at the top of the table could be cut to 11
9:36 am
points this afternoon if rivals manchester united win at tottenham — that's one of four matches today. it's after city suffered a surprise 2—1 defeat at home to leeds — who played the whole of the second half with ten men. stuart dallas with the winner in stoppage time. chelsea have moved into the top four after a comprehensive 4—1 win over crystal palace, christian pulisic scoring twice for thomas tuchel�*s side. liverpool are two points behind chelsea in fifth. trent alexander—arnold with an stunning injury time winner as liverpool beat aston villa 2—1, to secure their first league win this year. celtic recorded their biggest scottish premiership win of the season as they thrashed livingston 6—0 at home. there were wins too for motherwell, dundee united and aberdeen. and, although they didn't play yesterday results elsewhere ensured hearts will be playing top flight football at tynecastle next season. they're winners of the scottish championship title after relegation from the premiership a year ago.
9:37 am
england remain on course for a third straight women's six nations title. they're into the final in this year's shortened tournament. after scoring eight tries against scotland last week, england went one better against italy — running in nine tries in a 67—3 win. ireland also thrashed wales 45—0 in their first pool game. english interest in this year's european champions cup is over after exeter and sale were both beaten in the last eight. despite a fast start, defending champions exeter lost at home to pro 14 winners leinster by 39 points to 22. sale meanwhile lost at la rochelle. st helens are through to the quarter finals of rugby leagues' challenge cup after a 26—18 victory over last year's winners leeds.

9:39 am
with me are calum macdonald, presenter at times radio, and sienna rodgers, the editor of labourlist. today's front pages. let's start with the sunday telegraph — it leads with the tribute, paid by prince charles to the duke of edinburgh, calling him "a very special person". that tribute by the prince of wales is also on the front page of the sunday express. the newspaper adds that the prince said he misses his father enormously. the sunday times also leads with prince charles' emotional farewell to his father. but it also carries details of the duke's funeral, which is to take place next saturday in windsor. the sunday mirror reports that prince harry is due back in the uk, and that he willjoin his brother william for their grandfather's funeral procession. and the mail on sunday reports that the duke will be carried to st george's chapel at windsor castle in a land rover, which he had helped to design. so let's begin.

9:41 am
will be hoping that prince william reunites with his brother prince harry and it brings them closer together so that is why the talking about harry walking behind the coffin with william and it is only recently that meghan said an owner to view the royal family had this problem with racism. harry stood by her as she said that in an interview that went worldwide while william defended his family saying we are very much not a racist family. so there has been a lot of tension there has been a lot of tension there and people watching and may be hoping some of that will be resolved by this. hoping some of that will be resolved b this. ., hoping some of that will be resolved b this. . �* , hoping some of that will be resolved b this. . �*, ., by this. callum, let's look at the mirror. by this. callum, let's look at the mirror- it _ by this. callum, let's look at the mirror. it echoes _ by this. callum, let's look at the mirror. it echoes the _ by this. callum, let's look at the mirror. it echoes the fact - by this. callum, let's look at the mirror. it echoes the fact they i by this. callum, let's look at the i mirror. it echoes the fact they will be walking behind the coffin of walking behind the coffin of their mother, princess diana, when she

9:44 am
restrictions and it talks about how a lot of the details were meticulously planned by the himself —— duke himself and his coffin will be carried in purpose—built land rover he designed himself and it gives specific instructions it should be low—key with no lying in state. it's talking about how the prince of wales is expected to deliver the keynote eulogy and how harry is actually expected to arrive in the uk to attend as early as today. obviously without meghan as we were discussing. there were claims the prince of wales and the duke of edinburgh had a very tricky relationship and it is talking about how actually he was the one visit him in hospital during his illness and they were in contact very regularly recently and in constant
9:45 am
contact throughout his illness to actually they became much closer together towards end of his life. if we look at the mail on sunday, part of the front page is about sophie, countess of wessex and how she is helping the queen cope with her grief and part of a circle of woman very close to the queen and helping her at this time. it very close to the queen and helping her at this time.— her at this time. it speaks to the humanity of— her at this time. it speaks to the humanity of the _ her at this time. it speaks to the humanity of the royal _ her at this time. it speaks to the humanity of the royal family - her at this time. it speaks to the | humanity of the royal family and her at this time. it speaks to the - humanity of the royal family and we need to— humanity of the royal family and we need to he _ humanity of the royal family and we need to be aware they are human beings _ need to be aware they are human beings so — need to be aware they are human beings so at this moment of deep -rief beings so at this moment of deep grief with— beings so at this moment of deep grief with someone who has been at the head _ grief with someone who has been at the head of— grief with someone who has been at the head of the royal family it is important — the head of the royal family it is important to witness it is important not to— important to witness it is important not to treat — important to witness it is important not to treat the royal family are some _ not to treat the royal family are some sort— not to treat the royal family are some sort of celebrity spectacle not therefore _ some sort of celebrity spectacle not therefore are entertainment and amusement and huge interview such as

9:48 am
official data shows that a virus hotspots across many parts of the country. this is what they're letting on. i think a lot of people have been talking about, behavioural scientist have been talking about how people need to be informed about how people need to be informed about how to make their own choices because at this point when you lift restrictions in some areas some people take that as a prompt to go a step further. so if you're saying that sir rule of six outdoors people are taking that as a prompt to go a little step further and perhaps meet indoors so that is why there are excited about this and it is a really tricky balance. you're talking about everyone wants the country to unlock but the scientists are also talking about things like people still can't afford to self—isolate. so there are lots of things the government could be doing
9:49 am
which doesn't require greater restrictions butjust requires money. sick pay are still £96 per week, very, very low compared to other countries in europe and it bought a one fifth of the average workers earnings and honestly that doesn't incentivise people to actually take the time off work that they need when the rl with —— when they need when the rl with —— when they are ill with covid and a lot of people do not have set piece all theseissues people do not have set piece all these issues need to be addressed. in the sunday telegraph you look at it at the other angle saying it could be quicker, half of people and england live areas free of covid and they have a rather colourful map to show that. this will always be the debate, is it happening too fast or too slowly?— too slowly? boris johnson keeps aaivin us too slowly? boris johnson keeps giving us sound _ too slowly? boris johnson keeps giving us sound bites _ too slowly? boris johnson keeps giving us sound bites that - too slowly? boris johnson keeps giving us sound bites that are i too slowly? boris johnson keeps l giving us sound bites that are very memorable that we can keep holding

9:53 am
something that other people can get. that is clearly privileged access thatjust that is clearly privileged access that just doesn't seem that is clearly privileged access thatjust doesn't seem much a lot of people. so yes there are calls now for lobbying rules to be reformed. this is ironically something david cameron himself was very interested in when he was in government and the prime minister apparently, a source says the former prime minister regrets sending that message to rishi sunak. there are huge questions over this and it is just common sense to ask whether this is actually right. forget the details, is david cameron, is it right he should have these meetings, not attended by civil servants are not logged in the transparency releases? there are no minutes of the meeting between matt hancock and david cameron and greensill i know —— and

yet another dose of winter for some of us in the last day. her fresh dusting of snow in places, particularly on the hills and mountains, but not exclusively. more of that to come through the course of the afternoon. it doesn't mean just snow, it could be sleet or hail in places. you can see the wintry showers in the north, east, around the manchester area, and northern parts of northern ireland. through this afternoon, apart from the wintry showers here and there there are plenty of sunny spells around, the winds are coming in from the north, this is arctic air. temperatures only around five or 6 degrees for our northern towns and cities, briefly touching double figures in plymouth and london. through tonight, we will see a weather front sneaking in out of the atlantic. it will bring some slightly milder air, but with that
9:57 am
also the possibility of some snow across parts of wales, maybe into the midlands, the peak district, possibly. these are the early morning temperatures on monday. there could be a bit of fresh snow here and there. this is the cold outbreak on monday, you can see the cold air spreading into europe. on the periphery, slightly milder air coming back round to it, that is a weather front approaching us. you can see the cloud and increasing amounts of rain into northern ireland and out towards the western fringes of wales. broadly speaking, monday is looking fine for most of us with the temperatures just ever so slightly picking up there out towards the west up to around 11 degrees in cardiff. he was the weather map for tuesday. high pressure is in charge,
9:58 am
but we are expecting april showers to form on tuesday. broadly speaking, across the northern half of the uk, so in the south we should just stay dry. temperatures are picking up to around ten or 11, so the colder air is now in the far north. in the far north, in lerwick. temperatures will rise through thursday up to around 14 degrees, but then it does look as though there will be another change in the wind direction and it could turn colder again.
