roma were ahead. former manchester city striker edin dzeko certainly enjoyed that one. united certainly didn't. but in the second half how they turned things round. edison cavani with a stunning finish and then a far simpler one. united were back in front and they eased clear. after a penalty, a paul pogba header, before the icing on the cake. mason greenwood completing a 6—2 win, the second leg to come, but united in total control. as for arsenal, well, they were up against a former manager, unai emery, now in charge of villarreal, and that ghost of gunners past was back to haunt them. manu trigueros thumped the hosts ahead. and soon it was 2—0. arsenal dithered and raul albiol doubled villarreal�*s lead, much to his manager's manifest delight. and after the break arsenal's woes worsened. dani ceballos sent off, so how they needed this.

a late penalty from nicolas pepe, a 2—1first—leg defeat for arsenal, but their hopes are still alive. andy swiss, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are broadcaster daisy mcandrew and the sun's chief sports reporter martin lipton. welcome to you both. thank you very much for being with us. the metro says the prime minister is putting his fiancee in the frame over the downing street renovations, following his declaration of love forjohn lewis earlier today. that picture of sir keir starmer looking at wallpaper injohnson lewis is on the front of the telegraph. it also says that social distancing and big events won't be enforced afterjune 21st.

not definite that we're out of the woods yet. so, i can see that those pictures from india make us look goodin pictures from india make us look good in comparison at the moment, but they are a warning not to be complacent. but they are a warning not to be complacent-— but they are a warning not to be complacent. martin, the fttalks about the rare _ complacent. martin, the fttalks about the rare blood _ complacent. martin, the fttalks about the rare blood clots - complacent. martin, the fttalks about the rare blood clots from i complacent. martin, the ft talks i about the rare blood clots from the astrazeneca vaccine, which we've heard so so much about. mostly affecting younger people. i so much about. mostly affecting younger petiole-— so much about. mostly affecting younger people. i think we're not surrised younger people. i think we're not surprised to _ younger people. i think we're not surprised to hear _ younger people. i think we're not surprised to hear the _ younger people. i think we're not surprised to hear the numbers i younger people. i think we're not| surprised to hear the numbers are interesting, and this is the information from health care products— information from health care products regular eatery agency, which _ products regular eatery agency, which is — products regular eatery agency, which is a — products regular eatery agency, which is a bit of a mouthful —— regulatory— which is a bit of a mouthful —— regulatory agency. so, this is... the _ regulatory agency. so, this is... the positive _ regulatory agency. so, this is... the positive is we're talking about really _ the positive is we're talking about really tiny— the positive is we're talking about really tiny numbers, but there are more _ really tiny numbers, but there are more issues. the 18, 29—year—olds, in their— more issues. the 18, 29—year—olds, in their 30s, — more issues. the 18, 29—year—olds, in their305, 27 more issues. the 18, 29—year—olds, in their 305, 27 cases. people in their— in their 305, 27 cases. people in their 40s. — in their 305, 27 cases. people in their 405, 30 cases. in their 305, 27 cases. people in their405, 30 cases. bigger in their 305, 27 cases. people in their 405, 30 cases. bigger numbers for those _

because there's a very high risk, but because the perception, and they need as many of those young people to have the vaccine because for the older generations, i've had one astrazeneca vaccine myself, it's not a law of diminishing returns because the risk is higher the older you are, so therefore, the risk of the clots doesn't seem like such a big deal. but if you're young and pretty confident whether that's overly confident whether that's overly confident that coronavirus wouldn't really damage your health, you're much more likely to take this drug. there's a lot of nudge politics going on here, there is a lot of pr going on here, there is a lot of pr going on here, there is a lot of pr going on and looking forward when we want to get hurt immunity, we have to get those younger people to agree to get those younger people to agree to take the drug, and they won't do it if they think there's even a tiny danger. it if they think there's even a tiny dancer. ~ �* . ~ it if they think there's even a tiny danuer, . �* ., ~' ., it if they think there's even a tiny danier, . �* ., ~' ., ,., ., danger. we've talked about the flat alread , danger. we've talked about the flat already. but — danger. we've talked about the flat already, but let's _ danger. we've talked about the flat already, but let's talk _ danger. we've talked about the flat

if we look at the metro, very much on that theme, carrie the can. they've got a quote from caroline lucas, the green mp. she says pointing the finger at his fiancee with hashtag to harry internet is sexist —— carrie antoinette. i with hashtag to harry internet is sexist -- carrie antoinette. i think there has been _ sexist -- carrie antoinette. i think there has been quite _ sexist -- carrie antoinette. i think there has been quite a _ sexist -- carrie antoinette. i think there has been quite a lot - sexist -- carrie antoinette. i think there has been quite a lot of - sexist -- carrie antoinette. i think. there has been quite a lot of sexism because particularly, we know that it's true that within downing street, there was the lead camps and the carrie camps, and the kerry camp won at the into the day. boris johnson's two right—hand men were forced out. often the three things that happen after those incidents do comment about this lady macbeth behind the throne, all the sort of

things which are pretty unpleasant. certainly, i think those of us who are women, it does taste a bit sexist or smell a bit sexist. of course, like any wife or partner of the prime minister, there are mutterings, who is she to get involved? she is a well reputed, much experience political figure, but at the moment, she doesn't have an official role as such. again, you get that sort of who is she, who does she think she is kind of tone to it all, and it is quite unpleasant.— to it all, and it is quite unpleasant. to it all, and it is quite un-leasant. ., . ~ ., unpleasant. martin, on that metro front page. _ unpleasant. martin, on that metro front page. you've _ unpleasant. martin, on that metro front page, you've got _ unpleasant. martin, on that metro front page, you've got a _ unpleasant. martin, on that metro front page, you've got a picture i unpleasant. martin, on that metro front page, you've got a picture ofj front page, you've got a picture of keir starmer with some wallpaper. he's obviously making the most of it, as you would expect the leader of the opposition to do, but it's part of the reason this is still a story. it's a story we can all relate to, we can all know what doing up your flight relate to, we can all know what doing up yourflight is light, getting new curtains or wallpaper, and that is part of this huge

political story at the
