hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the former conservative adviser, mo hussein, and the westminster correspondent at the yorkshire post, geraldine scott. lovely to see you both back. our chat in a moment, quick look though through some of the front pages. i want meeting on the dumb the coming story, the daily mail is one of those. —— on the dominic cummings story. the mail leads on former downing street adviser dominic cummings�* denials over accusations he leaked text messages sent between the prime minister and businessman, sirjames dyson — the paper describes it as "all—out war" between mr cummings and his former boss, borisjohnson. the i strikes a similar tone on its front page, noting dominic cummings�* attacks

on the prime minister's competence and integrity. that story also the lead for the telegraph — but its front page also carries a message from government scientists who claim facemasks may not be needed this summer as the vaccine does the "heavy lifting" in the battle against coronavirus. "unethical and foolish" is the quote the times lifts from dominic cummings�* blistering attack on borisjohnson. the former adviser�*s remarks were part of a i,000—word post on his blog. the guardian describes mr cummings�* attack on the pm as "astonishing" but the paper also carries news of the biggest miscarriage ofjustice in uk history — the wrongful conviction of dozens of post office workers. the express marks that story on its front page — celebrations outside the high court as those convictions against 39 former postmasters are quashed.

so, let�*s begin. mo and geraldine, mo you will kick us off this time around. the one story that is a meeting isjohnson versus cummings, the front page of the male really illustrating that well in the front page picture. —— of the daily mail. well in the front page picture. -- of the daily mail.— of the daily mail. what was once thou . ht of the daily mail. what was once thought as _ of the daily mail. what was once thought as a _ of the daily mail. what was once thought as a marriage _ of the daily mail. what was once thought as a marriage made - of the daily mail. what was once thought as a marriage made in l of the daily mail. what was once - thought as a marriage made in heaven and is _ thought as a marriage made in heaven and is now_ thought as a marriage made in heaven and is now going through a very bitter_ and is now going through a very bitter divorce it would seem and i think_ bitter divorce it would seem and i think it's — bitter divorce it would seem and i think it's easy to think of this as itiust _ think it's easy to think of this as itiust but — think it's easy to think of this as itjust but what kind of think it's easy to think of this as it just but what kind of stuff, think it's easy to think of this as itjust but what kind of stuff, an old adviser— itjust but what kind of stuff, an old adviser trying to get revenge and what — old adviser trying to get revenge and what doesn't matter? but i think it does_ and what doesn't matter? but i think it does matter because the things he is alleging _ it does matter because the things he is alleging are quite serious and do raise _ is alleging are quite serious and do raise issues— is alleging are quite serious and do raise issues that we know are running — raise issues that we know are running sore points for the government in terms of questions around _ government in terms of questions around calling the second block down, —

geraldine, it is interesting because mo started off saying this does matter. does it to the british people? i matter. does it to the british --eole? ~' ., , matter. does it to the british neale? ~' ., , ., people? i think it does matter. i think of my _ people? i think it does matter. i think of my time _ people? i think it does matter. i think of my time reporting - people? i think it does matter. i think of my time reporting on i people? i think it does matter. i. think of my time reporting on those red or blue wall sees whatever you want to call them that one boris johnson the election and a lot of those areas and the rest of the country, there is a really strong sense ofjustice really, and wanting meritocracy. that is why the first set of problems here for the prime minister in terms of having business having a direct x assigned to him via whatsapp or whatever it was is damaging. —— a direct alignment. and secondly it is damaging because they want to believe this government has integrity and when your former closest aide turns on you and says to the public "there was not a lot of integrity here and there are find below the standards that you should

expect," i think that is damaging for the government and i think this will have cut through because mike mo says this is not a bubble story, it goes further than that and a very serious allegation. it is talking about the political integrity of the government and that�*s very important to people. m0 government and that's very important to --eole. a, government and that's very important to --eole. ., to people. mo if we turn to the front page _ to people. mo if we turn to the front page of — to people. mo if we turn to the front page of the _ to people. mo if we turn to the front page of the eye _ to people. mo if we turn to the front page of the eye macro, i to people. mo if we turn to the l front page of the eye macro, this to people. mo if we turn to the - front page of the eye macro, this is embarrassing as well, what do you think was met —— of the i. i embarrassing as well, what do you think was met -- of the i.- think was met -- of the i. i think the bigger— think was met -- of the i. i think the bigger shift _ think was met -- of the i. i think the bigger shift here _ think was met -- of the i. i think the bigger shift here is _ think was met -- of the i. i think the bigger shift here is he - think was met -- of the i. i think the bigger shift here is he is - think was met -- of the i. i think the bigger shift here is he is nowi the bigger shift here is he is now wilting _ the bigger shift here is he is now willing to — the bigger shift here is he is now willing to directly criticise the prime minister and it has become really personal and this was somebody who was whispering in the prime _ was somebody who was whispering in the prime minister's here in all the key meetings, the main adviser for quite _ key meetings, the main adviser for quite a _ key meetings, the main adviser for quite a tumultuous time in our country's — quite a tumultuous time in our country's history. and it really trusted — country's history. and it really trusted by— country's history. and it really trusted by the prime minister to go from that— trusted by the prime minister to go from that did this to where this is this really— from that did this to where this is this really public spat i think is

embarrassing for everyone. and i think— embarrassing for everyone. and i think this — embarrassing for everyone. and i think this also doesn't really help because — think this also doesn't really help because even if people may not be across _ because even if people may not be across the — because even if people may not be across the whole details or machinations that do go under westminster, it still looks like self—involved thing, government, conservative at psychodrama i hate to say, _ conservative at psychodrama i hate to say, and — conservative at psychodrama i hate to say, and that really i think will 'ar to say, and that really i think will jar with _ to say, and that really i think will jar with people who are worried about— jar with people who are worried about much more everyday stuff and recovery— about much more everyday stuff and recovery from the pandemic and with two weeks _ recovery from the pandemic and with two weeks to go before the local elections. — two weeks to go before the local elections, this should be a real concern — elections, this should be areal concern to— elections, this should be a real concern to party into the government and to— concern to party into the government and to have _ concern to party into the government and to have this message is cutting through— and to have this message is cutting through her or even not in great detail, _ through her or even not in great detail, how— through her or even not in great detail, how is this being seen by people _ detail, how is this being seen by people who want the government to worry— people who want the government to worry about them and not to be fighting — worry about them and not to be fighting amongst themselves? geraldine how much of this as we turn to the front page of the guardian, how much of this is a gift for labour? labour has been really hammering home the line of government is

sleaze over the last couple of weeks talking about these direct lines to the prime minister taken by david cameron grabbing rishi sunak on behalf of greensill capital, etc and i have not been convinced that some of that has been sticking particularly with the james dyson affair and borisjohnson saying that he would fix it so that ventilators could get into the country, i really think people were seeing that as it was a massive crisis where people were dying and the prime minister was trying to do the best he could. however this is different i think and i think that labour will be absolutely rubbing their hands and get everything for the dominic cummings is essentially gifting them this line, i imagine there will be plenty of ministers and shadow ministers over the weekend repeating the lines back into the weeks ahead as well. , , ., i. the lines back into the weeks ahead as well. , , ., , ., ,, as well. sorry geraldine, you think this is different _ as well. sorry geraldine, you think this is different from _ as well. sorry geraldine, you think this is different from quickly - as well. sorry geraldine, you think this is different from quickly could | this is different from quickly could you expand on that? i

this is different from quickly could you expand on that?— this is different from quickly could you expand on that? i think this is different from _ you expand on that? i think this is different from the _ you expand on that? i think this is different from the labour- you expand on that? i think this is different from the labour sleaze l different from the labour sleaze allegations because i think the public will have seen or felt at that time that really the government was doing all it could in a crisis situation. we heard throughout the pandemic that went vast sums of money were being spent, the public were very forgiving and very charitable to think really the government was doing their best. but when things like integrity and leaking, it feels much more grubby and doesn�*t feel like it is acting in interests of the public, think the public are very forgiving but not when you are not acting in their interests. very quickly on this, mo, going back to the headline on the front page of the guardian, cummings hits back. could this have been avoided? in could this have been avoided? in some ways, yes. i think this is clearly— some ways, yes. i think this is clearly a — some ways, yes. i think this is clearly a reaction to the briefing that came — clearly a reaction to the briefing that came from downing street sources — that came from downing street sources accusing him of being the

leak _ sources accusing him of being the leak 0f— sources accusing him of being the leak. of course it will have created a response — leak. of course it will have created a response and i think they should have _ a response and i think they should have foreseen that and probably the calculation was he has left government and will not come back. so let's_ government and will not come back. so let's create this distraction, the government has been struggling on either— the government has been struggling on either front but this is what you would _ on either front but this is what you would call— on either front but this is what you would call in the trade the dead cat approach _ would call in the trade the dead cat approach but actually, someone i was talking _ approach but actually, someone i was talking to _ approach but actually, someone i was talking to earlier pointed out you have _ talking to earlier pointed out you have to _ talking to earlier pointed out you have to make sure the cat is dead if you're _ have to make sure the cat is dead if you're going — have to make sure the cat is dead if you're going to use this approach and and — you're going to use this approach and and said he has come back with a lot more _ and and said he has come back with a lot more firepower and a lot more allegations. and i think because he is talking _ allegations. and i think because he is talking about competence and integrity. — is talking about competence and integrity, it's not reallyjust about — integrity, it's not reallyjust about a _ integrity, it's not reallyjust about a cronyism or who is texting who for— about a cronyism or who is texting who for some it is much more than that now— who for some it is much more than that now and — who for some it is much more than that now and this has created a much bigger— that now and this has created a much bigger problem for number 10 and for the pm's_ bigger problem for number 10 and for the pm's team, and it could well have _ the pm's team, and it could well have been— the pm's team, and it could well have been an attempt at a preemptive strike, _ have been an attempt at a preemptive strike, we _ have been an attempt at a preemptive strike, we note that dominic will be appearing _ strike, we note that dominic will be appearing in front of mps giving more _ appearing in front of mps giving more testimony and we know he

prime minister would never get in the way of an inquiry, and that everything is done within the right guidelines, it will be just enough or whether they come out swinging and going heavy with the kind of counter or if they are hoping now that this will die down but i don�*t think it�*s going to die down. as mo says, he is in front of mps next weekend i�*ve imagined this would be much more to come, it feels like the nuclear option and just the start and two weeks out from local elections, i think it could potentially be damaging on that side. on the other hand if the conservative party does well in those local elections despite all this, it might be a good opportunity to breakfrom this, it might be a good opportunity to break from the pass and get away from the dominic cummings era of government. m0 from the dominic cummings era of government-— from the dominic cummings era of covernment. ., , .,~ government. mo you are shaking your head in a very — government. mo you are shaking your head in a very resigned _ government. mo you are shaking your head in a very resigned manner - head in a very resigned manner there. before we move on to our next story and put this behind us, advice being given i had the should be handled, what do you think is being said? i the should be handled, what do you think is being said?— think is being said? i think they will be looking _ think is being said? i think they will be looking quite _ think is being said? i think they will be looking quite carefully i

hello, good evening. you�*re watching bbc news. i�*m katherine downes with the latest for you from the bbc sport centre. only the game in the premier league tonight. we�*ll start with that. arsenal hosted everton. before the match, over 1000 arsenal fans protested outside the emirates, voicing their displeasure at the club�*s involvement with the failed european super league. the demonstration centred on calls for the club�*s owner, stan kroenke, to leave. stan kroenke, the owner of arsenal, doesn�*t care about the club at all, and it�*s the same for all clubs in england. and we need as many people here as possible to just make a stand against owners that don�*t care about the club. we just need him gone now. we need someone new that cares about the club and who's going to put money back in. everybody's so upset about it. i think they're trying to just make a stand and see if we can get him out and get someone in the club who's willing to put money in, i invest it in the club and players and take us forward. _

hello. wales reached 21 degrees on friday. scotland had its highest temperature of the year so far at 20. and after a warm, sunny start to the weekend, it will turn a little cooler and cloudier as the weekend goes on, especially in eastern areas. it�*s still largely dry throughout with high pressure here, but the flow of air around that as the weekend goes on will become more of a pronounced easterly across the uk, with that cooler air starting to move in and more cloud, especially by sunday and especially in the east, as we�*ll see in a moment. another chilly morning to kick off the weekend, but not as cold as recent mornings, though still there will be a patchy, mainly rural frost around and temperatures head up in the morning sunshine quite quickly. once any early mist and fog patches clear away from eastern england, there will be a bit of patchy cloud for parts of scotland, wales reached 21 degrees on friday. especially in the east

and into north east england. but for most areas, it�*s a day of unbroken sunshine once again. shetland, though, turning cloudy with a chance of a little light rain. it will be a cooler day along north sea coasts with a breeze off the sea, but in western areas of the sunshine, every bit as warm as friday, i9, perhaps 20 degrees again. and there will be moderate to high pollen levels and moderate to high uv as well. now, we are expecting more cloud to arrive as we go after dark on saturday night. just filtering in here from the east, particularly into parts of england and wales. there could be a few mist and fog patches around, too. although temperatures again are a little bit higher as we start sunday morning, still the odd touch of frost in the countryside can�*t be ruled out. and then on sunday, don�*t be surprised to have some cloud, particularly across parts of england and wales and patchy cloud and after a warm, sunny start to the weekend, in scotland breaking to allow sunny spells. though parts of eastern england could stay rather cloudy with a chance of a light shower and an isolated heavy shower in highland scotland can�*t be ruled out. more of us noticing that easterly breeze, quite gusty through the channel, channel islands and south west england as it�*s been

for the past few days. and quite chilly along that north sea coast, cooler elsewhere but still up to 17 in western counties of northern ireland. into next week, and high pressure giving way to low pressure and that brings a chance anyway of a little rain moving southwards monday into tuesday. doesn�*t look like it�*s going to amount to very much, at the start of a week which while likely it�*ll be cooler than average once again with a chance again for a few showers, but not enough to stop this being one of the driest aprils we�*ve known.
