bringing us tomorrow. with me are former fleet street editor, eve pollard, and thejournalist and broadcaster, jenny kleeman. thank you forjoining us this evening. let's bring you up—to—date on what they already know a lot about. the front pages. on the front of the ft— china's first population decline since the 1950s and its potential impacts on �*asia s largest economy'. a 97% drop in covid—19 deaths leads on the front of the metro — as a quarter of adults in the uk are now fully vaccinated. while the i reports on �*anger at the pm' over handling of the coronavirus pandemic with bereaved families speaking of their �*untold hurt�* at comments. staying with the prime minister for the front of the guardian— senior tories urge borisjohnson to come clean about the funding of his flat refurbishment. the ongoing allegations and row also lead on the telegraph. the mail leads with self—drive cars,

as it reports lane keeping technology could arrive in the uk this year. and finally — a look ahead to summer, as the sun reports spain will welcome british holiday makers from june. so, let's begin. the front of the eye. anger at the prime minister, what do you make of this? i prime minister, what do you make of this? ., ., ., this? i have no idea when the prime minister said _ this? i have no idea when the prime minister said this _ this? i have no idea when the prime minister said this but _ this? i have no idea when the prime minister said this but people - this? i have no idea when the prime minister said this but people seem l minister said this but people seem to have heard it. he was very upset by the idea that there should be a second lockdown and fee seeing the way that the first lockdown, he did not really want to close the country down again, but this is early days of the pandemic and says that many people have been bereaved and have been deeply hurt which i do

understand. he may have to apologise for that. understand. he may have to apologise forthat. if understand. he may have to apologise for that. if i may, borisjohnson forthat. if i may, borisjohnson used for that. if i may, borisjohnson used to be at the newspaper and you have a lot to think about. what are you going to do. in my case, it was writing a headline, in his case, it was running the country. i think you'll probably be a lot more careful because i think you will explode one day if you cannot say what he wants. and six out of ten people think he is untrustworthy. i like to know where those polls come from. and there are elections in a week but we are not leaving that type of government, so i'm interested to see that effect. last ni . ht, interested to see that effect. last night. today. _ interested to see that effect. last night, today, anxious to move on and what you make of that suggestion that we talked about on the papers last night and people have already factored in borisjohnson isn't

entirely accurate with the things he says and that they priced it in, if you like and until now, they thought that the good things he's good at outweigh the things is not good at. which might be telling the entire truth about everything consistently all the time. six. truth about everything consistently all the time-— all the time. six out of ten people ma think all the time. six out of ten people may think he _ all the time. six out of ten people may think he is — all the time. six out of ten people may think he is untrustworthy - all the time. six out of ten people may think he is untrustworthy and voting _ may think he is untrustworthy and voting intention is another matter. what _ voting intention is another matter. what was — voting intention is another matter. what was significant is that you had the labour— what was significant is that you had the labour party directly saying that borisjohnson was the labour party directly saying that boris johnson was lying and it's rare — that boris johnson was lying and it's rare for that work to be bandied _ it's rare for that work to be bandied around a lot in politics and does _ bandied around a lot in politics and does quite — bandied around a lot in politics and does quite a lot to suggest that maybe — does quite a lot to suggest that maybe he was not telling the truth. there _ maybe he was not telling the truth. there is _ maybe he was not telling the truth. there is a _ maybe he was not telling the truth. there is a lot of different sources that corroborate the idea that bodies — that corroborate the idea that bodies piled high comment which she had denied saying. but whether that is going _ had denied saying. but whether that is going to _ had denied saying. but whether that is going to be damaged to him or whether— is going to be damaged to him or whether he'll be a lot worse for this, _ whether he'll be a lot worse for this, i— whether he'll be a lot worse for this, i think whether he'll be a lot worse for this, ithink ifi whether he'll be a lot worse for this, i think if i was him, i'll

admire you, even if they may know which way you are going to vote for, which way you are going to vote for, which way, they're going to admire you for saying that this is what people are talking about and so you've got the telegraph which is going on and having a go at the bbc and saying that she wasn't a prominent supporter and there was a pandemic and he could get these ventilators, but he wanted to do a deal. i'm afraid in real life that is what happens but i admire that the speaking up and admire the mail saying the boris, you may have gone too far e may have to apologise. but rather likejenny, i think people have factored this in. this is happened not because the streets are full, the traffic is out and people are having drinks, they're having drinks and i would have lunch out on

the town and i think i've got gold and people are busy and people are really pleased to have those vaccinations and however much it may be angry with boris and i can understand if you've been bereaved, you would need to feel that your loved ones have been talked about in any way but wonderful ways, that's her people are now. last any way but wonderful ways, that's her people are now.— any way but wonderful ways, that's her people are now. last night, she was talking — her people are now. last night, she was talking about _ her people are now. last night, she was talking about her _ her people are now. last night, she was talking about her sister - her people are now. last night, she was talking about her sister and - her people are now. last night, she| was talking about her sister and how angry it made her and let's pick up on the story because you've talked about it in passing there but the essence of this is his anger that particularly the way this organisation, the bbc, says there suggested in the way the bbcjust put the point of view on this and before we got both sides, james dyson says, i haven't been to any conservative social events but the

bbc�*s says that i have informed us and we put the detail on the record and we put the detail on the record and it has further subbed in the article, we are happy to set the record straight. what do you make of the kind of, this and isjust on the front of the telegraph or is it more interesting than that, the way they're covering this as eve suggests because in essence, they're keeping stories about borisjohnson who they'd rather, notwithstanding the attack on the bbc would rather not have on the front of any paper, much less a supporting one. it is knockin: much less a supporting one. it is knocking the _ much less a supporting one. it is knocking the bbc— much less a supporting one. it is knocking the bbc story in the headline, to explain to the viewers that they've actually written a piece — that they've actually written a piece that is in the daily telegraph saying _ piece that is in the daily telegraph saying that the bbc has mischaracterized and is a major sunporten _ mischaracterized and is a major supporter. but they do say that he has given— supporter. but they do say that he has given thousands of pounds to mps, _ has given thousands of pounds to mps. he — has given thousands of pounds to mps, hejust isn't has given thousands of pounds to mps, he just isn't happy to be characterised as a conservative sunporter _ characterised as a conservative supporter which he says in the piece

about this and that gives you a reason, come it's a pretty stark headline, that. its covid—i9 depths plunge 97%. did we think in february or march but this is what was going to happen? and, i think britain and i keep the point by the think we all know, we all have friends who exaggerate a bit, who were a bit larger—than—life and either decide that you really can't bear that sort of person and some people cannot and i understand that, oryou some people cannot and i understand that, or you say, with a pinch of salt. he is not a guy. it isjust a different view of life and you are quite right, politicians in this country are known to have honour and i think boris and some states will have to do what of those chats, which he did during the pandemic. but the pandemic coming out of the blue makes everything go haywire and if you are james dyson, who as far as i can see is spending most of his time in singapore, and you are going

to put yourself out there by producing a lot of things that go with ventilators and ventilators themselves, you thought i will end “p themselves, you thought i will end up with the huge tax bill for something i really don't want to do, but i'm going to help people and thatis but i'm going to help people and that is the way business is done. and i think all of the stuff about contacting the prime minister, sadly, not all of us can. but that is the way you have to be nimble. that is why we have the vaccines because we did not wait to discuss it, borisjohnson spoke to a brilliant woman who got the vaccines and said stop the death, get them, do what it takes. and we would not have been able to leave the eu. it is a very difficult time, we have a situation where in my lifetime or anyone's lifetime, we cannot remember anything as bad as covid—i9. anything is scary is covid—i9. anything is scary is covid—i9. you hope it's in the future that government is more prepared and that governments of got

money set aside, vaccine, all sorts of things that we now know we need. easy to say after the event but is hard to get it in the middle of the crisis. , , , , , hard to get it in the middle of the crisis. , , ,, , .,, ., crisis. distress been developing not onl before crisis. distress been developing not only before but _ crisis. distress been developing not only before but throughout - crisis. distress been developing not only before but throughout the - only before but throughout the course of the evening, the future, if she has one of the first mr arlene foster. it if she has one of the first mr arlene foster.— if she has one of the first mr arlene foster. it is unlikely that she has more _ arlene foster. it is unlikely that she has more of— arlene foster. it is unlikely that she has more of a _ arlene foster. it is unlikely that she has more of a future -- - she has more of a future —— minister~ _ she has more of a future —— minister. she is facing a vote of no—confidence in for a long time, rumbles — no—confidence in for a long time, rumbles about how her poor leadership, brexit has been a disaster— leadership, brexit has been a disaster for the dup. the leadership, brexit has been a disasterforthe dup. the border which _ disasterforthe dup. the border which is — disasterforthe dup. the border which is not what they wanted even though— which is not what they wanted even though they lobbied for brexit and also, _ though they lobbied for brexit and also, in _ though they lobbied for brexit and also, in the light of the recent riots— also, in the light of the recent riots as — also, in the light of the recent riots as well, she has not shown

drop of decks be amazing, 24% of us have been fully immunised which means we've had two jabs, which is been amazing. brexit is the next crisis rather more than the furniture in the prime minister is flat is how it's actually going to work. if you have been on this story and that story, over the next few months, how it works, and how the economy revives and the dup has been on the wrong side for a long time. talking to guests who know northern ireland politics, the newsletters and political editors saying it doesn't matter was a westminster, the question the mps near malays and they said running foster could be coming back and who could be defending this and saying that they are already assuming there is going
