the points, and i think well deserved. we played an amazing first half and the second half we suffered in the first 15 minutes of the quality and we did not come out of the dressing room with the same intensity, like in the first half. so we suffered instantly from their quality and physicality, but we came back strong. congratulations to watford fans at this moment, they confirm that their promotion back to the premier league. these were the scenes in the dressing room — after watford beat millwall i—o yesterday. they'll be returning to the top flight along with norwich, who beat qpr — but couldn't secure the title because of watford's win. hibernian are the first team through to the scottish cup semi—finals after they beat motherwell in a thriller. hibs had led 2—0 but squandered it and the game ended up going to penalties — ryan porteus with the decisive spot kick. rangers play stjohnstone and aberdeen are up against dundee united today. in the women's super league, bristol city have kept alive their hopes of avoiding relegation. they fought back from 2—0 down to draw 2—2 with fellow

9:38 am
who's features editor at the independent, and sian griffiths, who's education editor at the sunday times. good morning, both of you. we have got plenty of good stuff to talk about, let's look first of all at what is on the front pages. it is being dominated by the fallout from the row between dominic cummings and downing street, the sunday telegraph says downing street insiders are fearful of dominic cummings releasing emails and memos from his time in government. the mail on sunday carries counter—claims from downing street regarding mr cummings�* behaviour. the pm doesn't follow protocol by using an encrypted mobile phone, according to allegations in the sunday mirror. the observer says labour are aiming to grill a senior tory minister in parliament, over the growing sleaze crisis. it also has a striking image of those fires in county down. and an exclusive for the sunday express, which says the government have made a new order of pfizerjabs to help avoid an autumn lockdown.
9:39 am
let's go straight to james and sian, as i said at you can see, clearly dominic cummings stuff is nominating, i wanted to pick up in particular on the front page on the mail on sunday. number ten rages at nasty sexist dominic cummings says the headline. i wanted to pick up on some comments in the observer which give a very colourful depiction of how it is being seen inside number ten to an extent. the paper says, as word spread in downing street of a coordinated plan to accuse dominic cummings of a string of damaging leaks of insiders was bafflement, quickly followed by dread, decision had been made to poke the bear and it was hard to see what a good outcome would look like. it is crazy
9:40 am
said one insider of the plan, another tory strategist was more blunt, it is beyond moronic, and one senior mp, the paper says, noted, they have obviously not watched the terminator. quite a fight to pick! who wants to go first? it terminator. quite a fight to pick! who wants to go first?— terminator. quite a fight to pick! who wants to go first? it seems to me they are _ who wants to go first? it seems to me they are really _ who wants to go first? it seems to me they are really taking - who wants to go first? it seems to me they are really taking a - who wants to go first? it seems to me they are really taking a huge . me they are really taking a huge risk here, i understand why in the telegraph says there is fear and loathing in downing street. if you kick a hornets nest you will get stung and there is nobody more stinging and vicious than dominic cummings when he is aroused. that is the suggestion this mail on sunday headline is a classic dead cat strategy to try and distract from the original allegations but to me it seems absurdly risky. dominic cummings is somebody who kept copious notes, carried a box out when he left downing street and people speculate what treasure trove
9:41 am
he may have to use against the government. they are calling him nuclear dom in downing street. he is a man you don't want to cross. sign. a man you don't want to cross. sian, what do you — a man you don't want to cross. sian, what do you think _ a man you don't want to cross. sian, what do you think is _ a man you don't want to cross. sian, what do you think is the _ a man you don't want to cross. sian, what do you think is the strategy, is that one or have they waded into something that is deeper than they imagine? i something that is deeper than they ima . ine? ~ , something that is deeper than they imauine? ~ , ., imagine? i think it is all getting completely _ imagine? i think it is all getting completely out _ imagine? i think it is all getting completely out of _ imagine? i think it is all getting completely out of control - imagine? i think it is all getting completely out of control and i | completely out of control and i think_ completely out of control and i think the — completely out of control and i think the really interesting question will be what does dominic cummings— question will be what does dominic cummings come up with. he is due to appear— cummings come up with. he is due to appear before a select committee of mps this_ appear before a select committee of mps this week and i think people in downing _ mps this week and i think people in downing street are very worried about _ downing street are very worried about what people say, in particular in relation _ about what people say, in particular in relation to that second lockdown in relation to that second lockdown in last— in relation to that second lockdown in last year— in relation to that second lockdown in last yearand in relation to that second lockdown in last year and who was opposed to that and _ in last year and who was opposed to that and exactly what was said. there _ that and exactly what was said. there are — that and exactly what was said. there are stories swirling around in the papers — there are stories swirling around in the papers that he may be talking about _ the papers that he may be talking about some rather inflammatory comment— about some rather inflammatory comment made around the time of the

9:44 am
sometimes a favourite gold wallpaper, are we going to get the gold wallpaper gate here at family —— that finally brings down the government. it does nothing to instill confidence in public life. borisjohnson instill confidence in public life. boris johnson says instill confidence in public life. borisjohnson says people do not give a monkey's about it but i think they do because it undermines trust in the system, and that is vital. let's move on to what might happen injune, we have the date of the end ofjune, 21st, when restrictions are supposed to end but there has been debate around what happens then and the sunday telegraph has an open letter calling, publishing an open letter calling, publishing an open letter signed by 22 leading scientists and academics which says a good society cannot be created by an obsessive focus on a single cause of ill—health and they want all social distancing to be abolished to enable people to take back control of their own lives. sian, what are

9:48 am
have with the antique facemask demonstrations taking place. they are saying almost i don't care about other people —— the antique to me that is just selfish and that sends a very bad message. i think if we carry on using masks for as long as we can, i have no problem with that and i think it sends an altruistic message that we should all embrace. tote altruistic message that we should all embrace-— altruistic message that we should all embrace. ~ ., ., all embrace. we mention india, the sunday times _ all embrace. we mention india, the sunday times has _ all embrace. we mention india, the sunday times has an _ all embrace. we mention india, the sunday times has an extraordinaryl sunday times has an extraordinary statistic, already bad enough in india, 350,000 cases every day, the sunday times along with a very dramatic picture says it is braced for 500,000 infections per day, the report saying the crisis may have a further two weeks to run before the predicted peak of half a million cases a day. inside, in the editorial, reminding us how quickly this has turned around saying it is
9:49 am
a far cry from a few weeks ago when india claimed to have beaten the virus. borisjohnson was supposed to travel to the country and visit the facility that is crucial to vaccine supply. facility that is crucial to vaccine supply, trip was cancelled in india was added to the red list of countries. sian, you mentioned that being the element in the background for us to look at, but it is difficult going forward to not be held back by fear but also to be very conscious of how quickly situations can turn. yes, absolutely. and also it is a global— yes, absolutely. and also it is a global pandemic and went the sign to say what _ global pandemic and went the sign to say what we need to do is get the vaccine _ say what we need to do is get the vaccine out — say what we need to do is get the vaccine out across the world, and not just _ vaccine out across the world, and not just to — vaccine out across the world, and not just to the rich countries, that is obviously — not just to the rich countries, that is obviously true —— when the scientists— is obviously true —— when the scientists say. looking at the figures — scientists say. looking at the figures in _ scientists say. looking at the figures in india, that brings it home — figures in india, that brings it home the _ figures in india, that brings it home the scale of this tragedy. the photograph is terrible. it shows the

9:51 am
for richard miller, known as c, the new head of m16 —— richard moore. he said the mission is to spy on china pots pollution levels. it's one of those things obviously we note this spine happens but i guess the level of openness, what do you make of that —— we know that spying happens. great scoop by the sunday times. it shows the level of threat posed by climate change. it is absolutely right that mi6 is spying on countries not fulfilling their obligations. last week the us, this country and the eu all made a very specific commitments, china did not make a specific commitment to reducing climate change and that is worrying. the other aspect is the slightly comical idea ofjames bond
