hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sonia sodha, chief leader writer at the observer and tom newton dunn, chief political commentator with times radio. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the front page of the metro looks at the row over lobbying of politicians involving the collapsed firm greensill capital. it echoes the words of labour leader sir keir starmer who accused ministers of a �*return to tory sleaze�*. in the wake of the greensill row the telegraph focusses on the crackdown on senior civil service officials — who have been asked to declare any paid second jobs by the end of this week. meanwhile — as the treasury select committee looks into lobbying — the is headline reads...'uk lobbying watchdog is, lobbyist�*. the daily mail�*s front page reports that the prime minister himself was lobbied

by the saudi crown prince in a bid to buy a top english football club. away from greensill — the guardian warns that the issuing of �*covid passports�* could amount to unlawful indirect discrimination according to the government�*s independent equalities watchdog. the times looks at warnings of six hour airport queues for returning holidaymakers. and the royals share their love — the express features a newly released picture of the queen and the late duke of edinburgh with their great—grandchildren. so let�*s begin... with their great—grandchildren. when with their great—grandchildren. i was reading all th growing when i was reading all the papers, growing up as the teenager in the 90s, day after day there was one—word, almost all the it disappeared for a while now it�*s back —— sleaze. it�*s disappeared for a while now it's back -- sleaze.— disappeared for a while now it's back -- sleaze. it's back and it's back -- sleaze. it's back and it's back with _ back -- sleaze. it's back and it's back with a _ back -- sleaze. it's back and it's back with a vengeance. - back -- sleaze. it's back and it's back with a vengeance. it - back -- sleaze. it's back and it's l back with a vengeance. it anybody has been following the news will know. i think what�*s interesting is in the last 20, 48 hours or so for the last couple weeks it�*s really

been a story about david cameron and his links to the company at greensill. he�*s now an adviser to them, stood to gain a lot financially if they did well and are now on the brink of collapse. but the questions have really focused on how he is a former prime minister in the uk try to lobby the uk government for access to government loans for this company that he was now advising. but in the last day or two the issues actually moved on. the political fight has moved two the issues actually moved on. the politicalfight has moved onto the bigger issues of lobbying. turns out there are lots of very senior civil servants or at least quite few who have been in the employee of big companies at the same time as being senior government officials responsible for implementing government policy. there is huge questions of conflict of interest. this is where the political row has moved on to and relate labour what we saw today is they are arguing for

a much more expanded more independent inquiry into lobby and given that the system looks to be quite so broken. and to have failed so badly over the last ten years without talking about that system, tom from times newton radio. i think a lot of peeple — tom from times newton radio. i think a lot of people have _ tom from times newton radio. i think a lot of people have been _ tom from times newton radio. i think a lot of people have been fascinated l a lot of people have been fascinated to understand or to learn that senior civil servants i use the plural even if i don�*t know if there�*s more than one might have more than onejob. there's more than one might have more than one job.— more than one 'ob. yes, moonlighting. _ more than one job. yes, moonlighting. whatever| more than one job. yes, - moonlighting. whatever you want more than one job. yes, moonlighting. whatever you want to call it _ moonlighting. whatever you want to call it it's _ moonlighting. whatever you want to call it. it's unusual i think is the word _ call it. it's unusual i think is the word that — call it. it's unusual i think is the word that we came to the conclusion politely— word that we came to the conclusion politely on_ word that we came to the conclusion politely on times radio yesterday. i thought— politely on times radio yesterday. i thought i_ politely on times radio yesterday. i thought i thought you are allowed to say whatever he wanted on bbc rules you could _ say whatever he wanted on bbc rules you could go further? i think were polite _ you could go further? i think were polite it— you could go further? i think were polite if we, we used unusual. we can give _ polite if we, we used unusual. we can give you — polite if we, we used unusual. we can give you a how—to on phraseology. but it comes out of

allegedly on the orders of the crown prince himself. which is kind of really contributed to debate over the last few years in this country aboutjust the last few years in this country about just why does the last few years in this country aboutjust why does the uk it seemed so keen to bend over backwards to keep saudi arabia happy? we know that some of the arms that we�*ve sold to saudi arabia in the past have been used with gradual humanitarian consequences. in libya, for example. i think very serious questions about saudi arabia is human rights. articulate in the conservative party we saw those photos of david cameron in the desert with mohammed bin solomon sort of a over the last couple of days as well. why are they so keen on building a relationship with this country given what we know about how it�*s conducted itself in world affairs and the terrible human rights abuses that we see there? given that there is an allegation

foreign policy has not been a success. many people would say that the presence there has stop the tile event making more inroads than it has in recent years. and i did note that in afghanistan particularly women are very, very fearful of the taliban recapturing kabul and that would be absolutely dreadful. not just for afghanistan but stability worldwide. it�*s a massive foreign policy disaster and i�*m not really sure with withdrawal like this achieves other than biden satisfying people. mr achieves other than biden satisfying --eole. ~ �* , people. mr biden said in his feet the aim all— people. mr biden said in his feet the aim all along _ people. mr biden said in his feet the aim all along was _ people. mr biden said in his feet the aim all along was to - people. mr biden said in his feet the aim all along was to stop - the aim all along was to stop al-qaeda. bin laden was killed ten years ago. should the withdrawal have happened at that time? trio have happened at that time? no because al-qaeda is a bit more than one man _ because al-qaeda is a bit more than one man hiding in the top story of a

to be honest, i�*m not so sure that�*s a bad thing. because i do think that if we take a step back things are going quite well for us as a country. we had this hideous second wave, absolutely dreadful death rates back injanuary wave, absolutely dreadful death rates back in january and wave, absolutely dreadful death rates back injanuary and february and the vaccination programme has really succeeded in bringing them down. the government does seem to have learned its lessons in the third time over in terms of taking a slower approach to opening up. but i am worried about international travel this summer. i don�*t think it�*s something the government should be encouraging. the reason for that is that we know the risk that variance particularly if more vaccine resistant variants develop either here in the uk or abroad. but if they happen abroad genomic sequencing is not generally fast enough to pick it up. people can bring it back and before you know it it�*s too late and they are spreading in the uk. i do think that it would be silly for summer holidays just for the sake of summer holiday. i love to go on a summer holiday. it

would be silly for that to jeopardise and risk a vaccine, variant related third wave in the autumn. so i would preferred the government to be playing it safe. i sort of thing, i appreciate there are some people with families abroad that haven�*t seen them for very long time, i think no one would begrudge a visit brought to their families. i think in general anything that discourages leisure travel is not necessarily that bad of a thing. we�*re going to look at our final paper now. the daily express which has a picture on its front page. whichjust has a picture on its front page. which just looking has a picture on its front page. whichjust looking at it has a picture on its front page. which just looking at it least four or five papers have which just looking at it least four orfive papers have come a royal share the love is the headline. it is a photograph of the queen and the duke of edinburgh with seven of their great grandchildren. 0bviously their great grandchildren. obviously a very special moment for them. the royals, they give these iconic photographs. it does remind me a bit

of the warmest weather. it�*s not particularly warm at the moment. indeed temperatures are dropping very quickly underneath these clear and starry skies. the wind is light, could be just a few mist and fog patches although probably not quite as many as we had this time yesterday. temperatures at the lowest —3, minus four celsius or so across parts of northeast england. there will be quite a widespread frost first thing. so a frosty start to the day but a beautiful start as well with clear blue skies in many cases lots of sunshine on the cards. but as we head through the day we are going to see some cloud build in a particularly across central and eastern england for the and indeed a line of showers will develop across east anglia and south east england with some heavy but i don�*t think there will be any thunderstorms around. the further northwest you are the clearest the skies will be. plenty of sunshine even into the afternoon for these areas. and it�*s here where we will see some of the highest temperatures again probably reaching around 15 celsius. a little cooler than that across central and eastern areas of england.

if anything those temperatures down a little bit compared with wednesdays. at the end of the week high pressure is still with us and that means another fine, frosty start to the day. plenty of sunshine a little bit of cloud bubbling up as we head into the afternoon. towards the northwest you might find a little bit of slightly thicker cloud beginning to make inroads but most of that is going to be quite high. just making the sunshine a little on the hazy side. for many of us that�*s a cold start to the day. a bit of cloud but essentially a fine day. for the weekend prospects, weather fronts are going to get pretty close to the northwest of the country. across most of england and wales were looking at this fine spell of weather to continue. probably of the two days saturday looks like being the sunniest but sunday is still not bad. further northwest a bit more cloud around and across the far northwest of the uk through sunday there is the threat of seeing a little bit of rain. that�*s your weather.
