for last night. the paper comment for last night. the paper did approach him. let's go onto the guardian. jessica, this is we were talking lobbying and access, and as digby pointed outcome up former prime ministers. let's go through the article that you have co—authored on the front page of the guardian. more bad embarrassing exposes of david cameron, this time—released foi requests made byjournalist investigating this were released by the bank of england. and then very, very late about half past eight, very late about half past eight, very conveniently for all of us, the treasury also released its correspondence between its top officials and david cameron as well. the story as many of your readers and listeners will probably be familiar with by now is that david cameron lobbied for access to taxpayers cash. we learned that it was about 20 billion potentially in

green sale capital. and it was happening just as greensill capital has now collapsed, it's starting to face quite significant financial pressures right at the start of the pandemic. and he was, you know, the e—mails released by the bank of england suggest that he was speaking to one of the bank of england's deputy governors, john cunliffe. this also details relief from the treasury to make difficult between cameron and john glenn, the treasurer, what he says. ultimately, his lobbying wasn't successful. he doesn't end up getting exactly what he whines, which is access to this particular fund at the start of the pandemic, but greensill does eventually become one of the government's lenders under another scheme, and labour are saying tonight that it proves that the treasury were uneasy about the

economic state of greensill at the time, yet they still went on to approve them for this other scheme and they say that that raises quite significant questions.— significant questions. digby, iwill aet an significant questions. digby, iwill get an opportunity— significant questions. digby, iwill get an opportunity to _ significant questions. digby, iwill get an opportunity to give - significant questions. digby, iwill get an opportunity to give you - significant questions. digby, iwill get an opportunity to give you an | get an opportunity to give you an opinion on this in a moment, but i just want to get a few more stories in. just seeing as you also wrote this on the guardian's front page about covid—19 passports, just bring us up—to—date with the latest on that. us up-to-date with the latest on that. , ,., , , us up-to-date with the latest on that. , , h, us up-to-date with the latest on that. , , , that. yes, so this is a slightly different thing _ that. yes, so this is a slightly different thing about - that. yes, so this is a slightly different thing about going i that. yes, so this is a slightly different thing about going to that. yes, so this is a slightly - different thing about going to the pub. this is the government trying to make something ready, but the potential reopening of international travel on may 17, and they are anticipating that a lot of countries are going to requests and proof of vaccination or some proof of test. so they are trying to make sure that that documentation is ready, that people are able to prove that if they want to go abroad. that's quite a good sign for the very bewildered travel industry because it means that the come to the government is getting serious about lifting this

band. if you want on how that the moment, you can't, it's illegal. they are clearly going to move away from that. we might still find that the international travel that we can do is incredibly restricted or involves quarantining either at home or in a hotel when we come back. there will be a few countries where that one to be the case, and i'm sure there will be a lot of bookings for those places. this is about, you know, being able to prove, you know, something that other countries make demand of us rather than, you know, the act that we might need to show when we go to the public has been a bit more controversial. yes. when we go to the public has been a bit more controversial.— bit more controversial. yes, highly controversial, _ bit more controversial. yes, highly controversial, contentious. - bit more controversial. yes, highly controversial, contentious. let's . controversial, contentious. let's squeeze in the daily meal —— daily mail. funerals, show them some pity, a lovely picture of prince louis on a lovely picture of prince louis on a tricycle, talk us to the headline in terms of what the paper is asking for. �* ., ., ., ~ ., ., for. are we going to talk about what jessica has been _ for. are we going to talk about what jessica has been talking _ for. are we going to talk about what jessica has been talking about, - jessica has been talking about, orm _ jessica has been talking about, orm we — jessica has been talking about, or... we are not going to talk about that at_ or... we are not going to talk about that at all? — or... we are not going to talk about that at all? we or. .. we are not going to talk about that at all?— that at all? we don't have much time, so hopefully— that at all? we don't have much time, so hopefully we _ that at all? we don't have much time, so hopefully we will- that at all? we don't have much time, so hopefully we will have |

comments, find us online. good evening. good evening, i'm tulson tollett, and this is your sports news. we start with leicester city have boosted their champions league qualification hopes with a 3—0 win over west bromwich albion. it was a first half blitz from the foxes as jamie vardy grabbed the first 23 minutes in — his first in two months — and just second goal since before christmas. former baggies player jonny evans added a second with kelechi iheanacho nabbing a third before the break which keeps brendan rodgers's side third, four points ahead of chelsea, while west brom are nine points from safety with only six games remaining. 0bviously really pleased. winning the premier league is always huge. so it's a fantastic when considering the form that west brom have been

in, and they have been conceded so many goals, but i thought tonight, yeah, we were good. but we can't be much better. earlier today arsenal manager mikel arteta revealed that both the owner stan kroenke and ceo of the club vinai venkatasham apologised to him over the failed bid to form a european super league. arteta says it's been a warning to owners that fans must never be forgotten. this has given a big lesson, and it shows the importance of football in the world. and it shows that the soul of this sport belongs to the fans, and that's it. during this pandemic, for a year, we've been trying to sustain this industry with no fans in the stadium, but when the fans have to come out and talk, they talk really loud and clear and they send probably the strongest message that has ever been sent in football world. and every club have done the right thing, so that's a massive sustainment for the history of football.

tonight barcelona have said it would have been an "historical error" to turn down the chance tojoin the super league — and that they will remain part of the project. carlo ancelotti — who managed real madrid for two years — says football needs promotion and relegation for the sport to move forward. they wanted to build up the competition without sport merit, and this is not retractable because our culture, ——and this is not acceptable because our culture, we were born to have merit. if you are good, you play football and you'll be professional. if you are not good, you are not professional. if you are better, you have to win. you have to play the best competition, and this is, i think, what they didn't take in consideration and they were wrong. while football managers are used to providing injury updates for their squad, brighton boss graham potter had to explain how he got this impressive black eye. i'd love to be able to tell you there's a heroic,

chivalrous story here that i can make myself look really good, but unfortunately, i just missed my footing walking over some steps and went crashing into a metal railing. and i've got a bit of whiplash on my back and i look a little bit better, so the lady upstairs tells me, looking more rugged and handsome, but i think she's crazy of course. staying with football, striker zlatan ibrahimovic will stay at ac milan for at least one more year — keeping him in at the club beyond his 40th birthday. ibrahimovic re—joined milan in 2019 — and has scored an impressive 17 goals in 25 matches in all competitions this season, passing 500 career goals back in february. now to rugby league where champions st helens maintained their unbeaten start to the season as they won 18—10 at huddersfield. three tries sealed the victory — the final one coming from john lomax which sealed the win keep his side top of the table having won all of their opening games, in contrast to huddersfield who've lost all four league games under

new coach iain watson. saints great rivals wigan also remain unbeaten after they overcame castleford 22—12, the returning beven french scoring twice in his first game since last year's grand final loss. britain's cameron norrie will face 11 time champion rafael nadal in the quarter finals of barcelona 0pen. norrie went through after eighth seeded belgian david goffin retired with an injury, while nadal — who is looking for a 12th title here — beatjapan's kei nishikori in three sets. britain's simon yates has extended his lead in the tour of the alps to 58 seconds, with just one stage to go. the team bike exchange rider looks in good form as he prepares for next months giro d'italia. he led up the final climb in the leader's green jersey, and freewheeled across the finish line in third place behind pello bilbao. the spaniard moves up to second overall. at the world snooker championship

three—time winner mark selby eased through to the second round with a ten frames to one victory over kurt maflin. the norwegian had a chance to extend the match if he sunk the black in the 12th frame but after doing the hard work prior to it missed. and that left selby an easy finish to confirm his place in the next round where he'll face northern ireland's mark allen. and its four frames all between ronnie 0'sullivan and anthony mcgill in their second—round contest, after scotland's mcgill won the last two frames of the session — to pile the pressure on the six—time world champion 0'sullivan. they'll continue play tomorrow morning. everything else, of course, the bbc sport website. but, that's all the sport for now. hello. it may have been warm in the sunshine today, it's another chilly night on the way. many of us, there is a risk of frost. it looks to be coldest across parts of eastern england. could be —1i into the morning.

some areas of cloud in the far north east of scotland and the chance of a shower in the northern isles, still quite windy through the english channel and channel islands and into south west england. so, where that wind is strongest, you will avoid frost, but many of us will be at orjust below freezing. again, looks coldest into eastern england. but after that chilly start, temperatures rebound quickly tomorrow, with plenty of sunshine again. a little hazy with high cloud here and there. there's still some cloud in the far north—north east of scotland, and in the northern isles it may threaten a shower. still that brisk, gusty wind through the channel islands and into south west england, where elsewhere the winds are light. and in that strong sunshine, it will feel warmer tomorrow and temperatures could be up to around 20 celsius in a few spots. gradually turning a little cooler and cloudier over the weekend.
