others are hoping london's challenge means their message has found its moment. we've got to recover from the pandemic in a way that is truly green — that helps us to achieve our climate targets and creates a more fair and a more equal city, one that really values well—being, notjust economics, and that is what the greens have always been about, but it's so much more important now. it's notjust about the pandemic, though. the mayor's job is to champion their city and the majority here voted against brexit — something the conservative candidate has to confront. so, the party's choice has an unusual back story. a former youth worker, who rose to become an adviser to david cameron on how to tackle crime. the key issues in london are clear as day. we have to turn around the mayor's failure on crime, on housing, on the environment, on young people. i have a plan for 8,000 extra police officers,

4,000 extra youth workers, 100,000 homes for £100,000, a completely zero—emissions bus fleet — all costed, all ready to go, all focused on giving london a fresh start. but promising a fresh start is one thing. the new mayor will have to deliver itjust as old certainties are melting away for this metropolis, and everywhere else too. damian grammaticas, bbc news, london. and you can find details on all the candidates standing in the london mayoral election at bbc.co.uk/news. in football, northern ireland's women have reached a major tournament for the first time. they beat ukraine 2—0 in the second leg of their euro 2022 play—off. nadine caldwell sealing the win in belfast where there were jubilant scenes after the final whistle. chelsea are through to the semifinal of the champions league despite losing to a late goal by porto in the second leg of their quarter—final tonight. that was enough for them to go through 2—1 on aggregate.

katie gornall was watching. it's been seven years since chelsea last made it this far in the champions league, but now is the time to go all the way, according to their manager. thomas to cull�*s side had reason to be confident. they began this game 2—0 up, already tantalisingly close the semifinals. porto would have to strain every sinew to stop them. —— tuchel. 0—0 at the break suited chelsea. travel restrictions meant this tie was played in seville and chelsea didn't come here for excitement, or seemingly goals, it was porto that need to attack and eventually they emerged from hibernation. a wonder goal but too late to turn the tie. it is real madrid or liverpool next for chelsea. thejourney it is real madrid or liverpool next for chelsea. the journey continues. so chelsea through, but look who is out, the holders bayern munich.

despite scoring the only goal on the night in paris, it wasn't enough. mauricio pochettino's paris st—germain advance in another twist on the road to istanbul. katie gornall, bbc news. 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 lance price, the political commentator, and rosa prince, who's the editor of the house magazine. tomorrow's front pages. let's start with the metro. "it all looks a bit fishy, rishi" — the metro says the chancellor has been running scared, after failing to turn up to answer questions in the commons over the bid by david cameron to secure government—backed loans

for greensill capital, the finance firm he worked for before it collapsed. the guardian writes that the scandal over the company's influence within the government has deepened and that one of britain's most senior civil servants began working as an adviser to the finance firm while still serving in whitehall. the daily mail also looks at the lobbying row, saying bill crothers spent several months as government procurement head and a greensill board adviser. the telegraph leads on the data from the office for national statistics which shows 23% of registered covid deaths reflect those who have died with the virus, rather than from it. the financial times reports on the news thatjohnson &johnson has delayed the roll—out of its vaccine in europe, after us health agencies called for a pause on the jab�*s use while they investigate incidents of rare blood clots. and the sun's front page focuses on the road map out of lockdown, saying 14 million pub bookings have been made by brits wanting to secure an outdoor pub table. did those bookings all get honoured?

let us begin and look first of all, hello to you both, at the daily telegraph, which looks at numbers. a quarter of five steps, it says, not caused by covid. rosa prince, this talks about people dying with covid, not of covid, so really it is a simple question for not you but all of us — do we know how many people died of covid since the pandemic began? died of covid since the pandemic bean? . died of covid since the pandemic beuan? ., , died of covid since the pandemic beian? ., , ., died of covid since the pandemic bean? . , . , began? that is an interesting question- _ began? that is an interesting question. when _ began? that is an interesting question. when i _ began? that is an interesting question. when i first - began? that is an interesting question. when i first saw. began? that is an interesting | question. when i first saw the headline, i thought it might�*ve been about other people who died of factors did not come to the doctor because they were not worried about covid, but this is people who may have covid on their death certificate but it was not the primary cause of their death. they died within 20 days of tested positive. any telegraph, which is very keen for us all to be released from lockdown sooner than the government has planned, is sort of using this to make the case that perhaps the situation is not as dire as borisjohnson and company would like to betray it, and at the time

has come to lift the restrictions. lance malloy is a coming out now? it is coming out now because the 0ns haveissued is coming out now because the 0ns have issued the figures, but as rosa says. _ have issued the figures, but as rosa says. there — have issued the figures, but as rosa says, there has been a campaign by certain_ says, there has been a campaign by certain sections of the media to push _ certain sections of the media to push the — certain sections of the media to push the government towards a speedier— push the government towards a speedier opening up of, or easing of lockdown_ speedier opening up of, or easing of lockdown restricted. clearly that is not what _ lockdown restricted. clearly that is not what you have been. ministers from _ not what you have been. ministers from boris — not what you have been. ministers from borisjohnson down have made clear they— from borisjohnson down have made clear they are sticking to the road map. _ clear they are sticking to the road map. but— clear they are sticking to the road map. but i— clear they are sticking to the road map, but i suppose it gives them since _ map, but i suppose it gives them since that— map, but i suppose it gives them since that if they do carry on with the road — since that if they do carry on with the road map as it stands and ease lockdown, — the road map as it stands and ease lockdown, they are not taking perhaps — lockdown, they are not taking perhaps quite a big risk as some people _ perhaps quite a big risk as some people might have felt we were. interesting, rosa prince, and this is notjust about interesting, rosa prince, and this is not just about those interesting, rosa prince, and this is notjust about those numbers, it is notjust about those numbers, it is about that idea that lockdown should end of the bid earlier. but walking through central london a little earlier today, they were plentiful up and about, but when you speak to politicians, they want

telegraph story is fascinating both for telling the story of this family and also highlighting the, more generally, how people suffered through the pandemic when it comes to grieving at funerals in particular. we all recall the stories of a funeral in milton keynes where a man who tried to comfort his bereaved mother was told off by the funeral director, so, yes, it is highlighting something that has been perhaps one of the hardest things of the pandemic, not being up to grieve properly, not being up to grieve properly, not being up to grieving away as we have become accustomed to, and the royal family it seems will be no different because, just as the queen is bravely continuing her duties, i am sure they will be no possibility she would want to bend the rules. she will feel very strongly she should do as the rest of the country has been doing. do as the rest of the country has been doing-— do as the rest of the country has been doing. do as the rest of the country has been doin:. . . ., .,, ,. been doing. funeral detector, as you said. it been doing. funeral detector, as you said- it does — been doing. funeral detector, as you said. it does sound _ been doing. funeral detector, as you said. it does sound like _ been doing. funeral detector, as you said. it does sound like that - been doing. funeral detector, as you said. it does sound like that is - been doing. funeral detector, as you said. it does sound like that is a - said. it does sound like that is a pandemic kind ofjob! lance price,

days ago and now she is freaking out, in herwords. people days ago and now she is freaking out, in her words. people are frightened when they hear something like blood clots, and as you say, there are seven risks from life, from crossing the road, and a huge risk from covid, obviously, and the risk from covid, obviously, and the risk from covid, obviously, and the risk from dying from that is presumably far higher than hitting a blood clot sub i think the thing about thejohnson &johnson jab is that there are other about the johnson & johnson jab is that there are other vaccines available now. one of the reasons the medical world was hoping that this would be a successful vaccination is because it would only require one shot, rather than the follow—up boosterjab, so there's deftly disappointments, and it seems that the reaction these six women who died in the states, all relatively young, is a similar reaction as to occurred with the pfizer, so there's obviously something that occur, but it does seem as you say and extremely tiny number of people who have been affected so far. i number of people who have been affected so far.— affected so far. i should 'ust say, i think it is — affected so far. i should 'ust say, i think it is six * affected so far. i should 'ust say, i think it is six cases, _ affected so far. i should 'ust say, i think it is six cases, i h affected so far. i should just say, i think it is six cases, i don't - i think it is six cases, i don't know about deaths, but six cases
