tomorrow, jimmy lai is expected to begin serving jail time for an earlier crime, protesting against the government. and his trial, under the new law, begins. according to beijing, the charges against him are equal to treason. they've compared the seriousness of his alleged crimes to murder. the fate of activists likejimmy lai will set a new precedent for hong kong. the space for dissent is shrinking. danny vincent, bbc news, hong kong. and you can see more onjimmy lai's story in our world on the bbc news channel this weekend. britain's number one tennis player, dan evans, has beaten the world number one novak djokovic in the first meeting between the pair. evans won in straight sets against the the 18—times grand slam champion in the third round of the monte carlo masters,
10:31 pm
to record the biggest win of his career. our sports correspondent katie gornall reports. heads djokovic wins, tails evans loses. the odds had suggested only one outcome in monte carlo, but here was a reminder that there is nothing definite about being favourite. the world number one was second—best from the start, as dan evans charged into a 3—0 lead. the british number one had never beaten a top six player, but soon the first set was his, 6—4. djokovic, one of the greatest players of all time, attempted to force his way back, but only came back down to earth, as evans, with craft and guile, fought back from three games down to close out the match for the biggest win of his life. commentator: and the world's best is beaten by britain's best. _ it's one to savour, for maybe after the tournament to tell the kids or grandkids that i beat the world number one, it's a nice one. a quarter—final against david goffin awaits, and who would write him off now?

10:33 pm
will not walk side by side behind their grandfather's coffin at his funeral and will instead be separated by their cousin peter phillips. the sun adds that the brothers will be kept at arms length for the procession, in which it was confirmed today that no one would wear military uniforms. the daily mail has a picture of prince charles who was seen today with tears in his eyes as he read tributes to his father left by members of the public. the express writes that there will be time in the funeral procession for the queen to pause for a moment of reflection as she says her final farewell to her husband of 73 years. the guardian reports that government officials have raised concerns about the mass expansion of rapid coronavirus testing — estimating that as few as two to 10% of positive results may be accurate in places with low covid rates. and the i writes that scientists have created a part human, part monkey embryo with the aim of learning more about human heart defects, down syndrome and spina bifida. so let's begin. chaya, we will start with the story of the funeral. of course the last
10:34 pm
few days on the bbc we have been reflecting extensively on prince philip sly. attention turns to the funeral which he designed himself as we were hearing in the daily telegraph over a period of 18 years. of course it does look like the queen herself has had to make a number of final decisions given what the son says in its front page is the son says in its front page is theissue the son says in its front page is the issue of brothers at arms length. the issue of brothers at arms lenath. ,, ., i. the issue of brothers at arms lenath. ,, ., q the issue of brothers at arms lenth. ,, ., ', , the issue of brothers at arms lenath. ,, ., ', , ., length. simon, you 1st. yes, quite a lot of the papers _ length. simon, you 1st. yes, quite a lot of the papers are _ length. simon, you 1st. yes, quite a lot of the papers are talking - length. simon, you 1st. yes, quite a lot of the papers are talking about l lot of the papers are talking about the fact that william and harry won't be standing next to each other. they sort of moved on quite quickly from the fact that and, charles andrew, and edward will be there and people need to be behind. obviously because of the rift, the conflict, this has become a big thing. and there cousin peter phillips is going to be in between them. there is little bits of me that's a well, he's older, that sort of makes sense. harry's coming on his own, meghan has got to stay back

changed over the queen is going to be sitting on her own i think they talk about she's going to have a moment, on her own at the very end so she could say her last words. and that bit is really, really tough for me. she's lost her husband after 73 years and they've been through so much including the wars and so. this much including the wars and so. as we've noticed this week the queen has started her royal duties again by contrast of course queen victoria after the death of king albert chose to seclude for quite a time. this queen has clearly decided that it is time to continue her duties even before the funeral of prince philip. i think most people will have a huge amount— i think most people will have a huge amount of— i think most people will have a huge amount of respect for. she is also sending _ amount of respect for. she is also sending a — amount of respect for. she is also sending a signal to the whole family that it's _ sending a signal to the whole family that it's back to our duties to our country — that it's back to our duties to our count . �* , that it's back to our duties to our count . �*, ., ., ~' that it's back to our duties to our count . �*, ., ., ~ ., ~ ., country. let's look at the metro newspaper- _ country. let's look at the metro newspaper. which _ country. let's look at the metro newspaper. which shows - country. let's look at the metro newspaper. which shows a - country. let's look at the metro i newspaper. which shows a picture country. let's look at the metro - newspaper. which shows a picture of prince charles and the duchess of cornwall. they've been looking

through messages. i think flowers have been left outside buckingham palace they've been taken inside one of the gardens and the prince and the duchess have been looking at them they are. of course the two princes united in grief but so far apart as we have talked about in other papers. let's move onto another street now to get to the pandemic. anna, as you may rightly the point of this you know is that it is happening during the pandemic itself. only 30 people are allowed for the part of the way we all get out of the pandemic when we look at the guardian newspaper is notjust through vaccination it's also through vaccination it's also through proper testing. but the main story in the guardian newspaper urgent stories, urgent concerns i should say of a rapid test as false positives soar.— should say of a rapid test as false positives soar. simon, what is this about? ithink— positives soar. simon, what is this about? i think it's _ positives soar. simon, what is this about? i think it's called _ positives soar. simon, what is this about? i think it's called the - positives soar. simon, what is this about? i think it's called the rapid | about? i think it's called the rapid flow test. the ideas that you can take it very quickly. but they are saying there is few as 2% of the
10:41 pm
positive results may actually be accurate. borisjohnson, the reason he saying we should be taking this test because it can be really helpful and even if you're asymptomatic it's very helpful. the health department adviser to hancock who is our health minister is saying we got to make a decision about this and asking everyone who is asymptomatic whether they can take it. i worry if we can't rely on the test that is a real problem. we know vaccines can help but as you already alluded to, we've got to have the tested people to whether they've got it or have to stay in. if people are getting misleading results or they don't have faith in it or their feeling asymptomatic, are they gonna stay in? working have a problem here. there's an issue with validity and quality of these tests. i here. there's an issue with validity and quality of these tests.- and quality of these tests. i have been waiting _ and quality of these tests. i have been waiting for— and quality of these tests. i have been waiting for my _ and quality of these tests. i have been waiting for my part - and quality of these tests. i have been waiting for my part of- and quality of these tests. i have l been waiting for my part of london to have those surge tests. they've been, i am to have those surge tests. they've been, iam prepared, iwill go to have those surge tests. they've been, i am prepared, i will go to my

10:44 pm
every day. which i need to note down at very big range of temperatures. let's look at the financial times. we are going to look at foreign policy at the moment. us sanctions angered russia. cool relations, a picture on the front page of vladimir putin, i'm not entirely sure what he's reading but nevertheless he might be now pondering relations with america following sanc genes following a statement which we've seen from joe biden. when i grew up it was all about the us and the soviet union and the rivalry now it's the us and russia, how do you see a? we must've crown u- russia, how do you see a? we must've grown up in — russia, how do you see a? we must've grown up in similar— russia, how do you see a? we must've grown up in similar times. _ russia, how do you see a? we must've grown up in similar times. i— grown up in similar times. i remember that, grown up in similar times. i rememberthat, it grown up in similar times. i remember that, it was terrifying. i heard this first through dominic raab who is talking about solar wind and the russians, he was essentially saying we know that there russians to the hacking and he was joining saying we know that there russians to the hacking and he wasjoining in uniting with the us. asjoe biden has actually impose sanctions. very strict on the top sanctions on
10:45 pm
russia. i'm really pleased —— time. i'm pleased that we havejob biden as president because that means some of the stuff will be a little bit more coherent and we can do it with the uk as well and i like that. obviously the big question is what is it having a impact was that there is it having a impact was that there is a frosty reaction from moscow. but whether this. something, we will have to wait and see. obviously we have to wait and see. obviously we have china, we know both of these countries are very good at hacking and they are also, it starts to interfere with democracy or how elections may be. these are really scary, significant things that they need to be addressed. we are looking back at that picture of vladimir putin on the front page of the financial times. putin on the front page of the financialtimes. i putin on the front page of the financial times. i can see that he's got a magnifying glass on his desk was that i do not know entirely why thatis was that i do not know entirely why that is but that might come in useful for whatever documents come across his desk. how do you see, you probably can't see it there but there it is. it probably can't see it there but there it is-_ there it is. it looks like a very fancy does. — there it is. it looks like a very fancy does, lots _ there it is. it looks like a very fancy does, lots of— there it is. it looks like a very
