10:30 pm
a park in south london and a vigil to honourjimi's selfless act of heroism. jimi has been nominated for a bravery award by the city of london police. but there is a campaign now for him to get the highest civilian award for courage, the george cross. i have been lucky, because we are more or less the same age. and i just want to say that i totally... ..support the campaign that there is forjimi to take a medalfor his honour and his braveness. crowd cheers.
10:31 pm
as some people already have done on the viewpoint... ..there�*s a lot of flowers and candles... ..saying �*hero�*. so i think he deserves that. i think it would be really, really good for the family as well. joaquin is still coming to terms with what happened at london bridge, but is determined thatjimi should be honoured. graham satchell, bbc news. time for a look at the weather with nick miller. hello. tuesday's going to be a windy day. may see a bit of sunshine — there won't be a huge amount of that. there will, though, be plenty of showers around. some of those showers merging to give a longer spell of rain, pushing out of scotland into parts of northern england. catch a shower, hail, thunder possible, wintry on the hills in scotland —
10:32 pm
very gusty winds. where they've been strongest overnight in southern england and south wales they're going to ease. they'll be strongest through the day along that north sea coast, parts of eastern england gusting 40mph or more, and it is, of course, going to feel quite chilly in that wind. further showers spread south overnight and into wednesday. the clearer parts of scotland and northern england could well see a frost going into wednesday morning. that will make it a chilly start to the day. it won't feel very warm at all during wednesday. again, some places won't get into double figures. although there will be some sunshine around, there'll be areas of showers. the showers still producing a bit of snow over the higher hills of scotland and in parts of northern england and wales too. that's your latest forecast. bye— bye. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.
10:33 pm
to what the the papers will be with to what the the papers will be those virtually, simt ros with those virtually, simon minty in ros altmann, but the question is will we get the green light to have you back soon? i wonder whether the papers will be able to enlighten us in that self—interested way. let's have a look at the front pages tonight. the �*i' says it's been told by downing street that covid data in the uk looks to go ahead with the next stages of unlocking. calls for that unlocking to happen quicker is the mail's top story. that's jennifer lopez on the front of the metro — but their lead are those plans for the eu to open up to tourists. same story, similar headline on the mirror. it quotes the eu commissioner who says it's time to revive tourism. the guardian also goes with travel. it understands the uk could give the green light to travel to fewer than 10 countries. and the financial times says germany is to lift restrictions this week for people who have been vaccinated. so, let's start with the i, what it
10:34 pm
saysin so, let's start with the i, what it says in an exclusive green light for england to unlock on the 17th of may. they are getting a little bit ahead of themselves, simon, and they? this is still the next stage and not quite there yet. it is really hard. _ and not quite there yet. it is really hard, you _ and not quite there yet. it is really hard, you read - and not quite there yet. it is really hard, you read a - and not quite there yet. it 3 really hard, you read a loss of and not quite there yet. it 1 really hard, you read a loss of the headlines and there is good stuff and good news and not quite promises but a good outlook and number ten as saying the data looks good and we could be with family and friends and we could meet indoors up to that limitation of six people, might be able to stay overnight, and it is saying may be hugs as well, which i'm kinda looking forward to. that would be lovely. there are a couple of bits which make me a little bit more cautious. the scientists are saying, yes, there are lover infections, and they are saying it is unlikely there will be a third wave and they always get a bit nervous when there is this kind of confidence that that won't happen particular with other stories about travel that is coming and then i
10:35 pm
think about businesses and win we go back to in offices and theatre and comedy and live events? all of this is really great and it is positive. borisjohnson has said we have to be careful about, obviously, borisjohnson has said we have to be carefulabout, obviously, if we borisjohnson has said we have to be careful about, obviously, if we go people will come back and new variant still kick around, so we are not out of the woods but there is positive news. i not out of the woods but there is positive news.— positive news. i would like a hog more than _ positive news. i would like a hog more than i _ positive news. i would like a hog more than i would _ positive news. i would like a hog more than i would like _ positive news. i would like a hog more than i would like a - positive news. i would like a hog| more than i would like a holiday, positive news. i would like a hog i more than i would like a holiday, i think. i am more than i would like a holiday, i think. iam not more than i would like a holiday, i think. i am not sure about you. yes. when we think— think. i am not sure about you. yes. when we think about _ think. i am not sure about you. yes. when we think about where we were this time last year a lot of people wouldn't have imagined it would have gone on as long as it has so we have copyright to be a bit cautious, do you think? i copyright to be a bit cautious, do you think?— you think? i understand being cautious but _ you think? i understand being cautious but i _ you think? i understand being cautious but i really _ you think? i understand being cautious but i really do - you think? i understand being cautious but i really do hope l you think? i understand being i cautious but i really do hope that we are coming to the end of this. this time last year the idea of having a vaccine being rolled out to sunny people by now would not have been possible. nobody imagined that.
10:36 pm
so we've had tremendous success and let's hope that we can reap the benefits of that. it's cost huge amounts to our country and this is a fantastic success, so, i'm looking forward to hogs, team meeting, socialising, to all the things that we have become used to expecting as part of life which we have lost for a while. —— looking forward to hugs. but the daily millennial is trying to hurry things along, isn't it? its says why wait seven more weeks? —— the daily mail. we are still going to be facing, as things stand more restriction still in place to the zist restriction still in place to the 21st ofjune. restriction still in place to the 21st ofjune-_ 21st ofjune. that is true and, personally. — 21st ofjune. that is true and, personally. i— 21st ofjune. that is true and, personally, i very _ 21st ofjune. that is true and, personally, i very much - 21st ofjune. that is true and, | personally, i very much agree 21st ofjune. that is true and, - personally, i very much agree with the mail — personally, i very much agree with the mail i— personally, i very much agree with the mail. iwould personally, i very much agree with the mail. i would like to see this move _ the mail. i would like to see this move faster. i'm worried that we may

10:39 pm
great and we also know that they are very good at stopping transmission. so i can see both sides but i would much rather slow and steady than have to start backtracking. the daily mirror is talking about holidays in the eu.- daily mirror is talking about holidays in the eu. wish you were here, an invitation _ holidays in the eu. wish you were here, an invitation to _ holidays in the eu. wish you were here, an invitation to tourists - holidays in the eu. wish you were here, an invitation to tourists but| here, an invitation to tourists but whether we will be allowed or advised we don't know yet. we will find out later— advised we don't know yet. we will find out later this _ advised we don't know yet. we will find out later this week _ advised we don't know yet. we will find out later this week which - find out later this week which countries _ find out later this week which countries will be on the green list on the _ countries will be on the green list on the 17th— countries will be on the green list on the 17th of may. the expectation is that— on the 17th of may. the expectation is that it _ on the 17th of may. the expectation is that it won't be that many and a lot of— is that it won't be that many and a lot of the — is that it won't be that many and a lot of the countries in the eu may well not _ lot of the countries in the eu may well not he — lot of the countries in the eu may well not be on that list, even though— well not be on that list, even though we will be allowed into their country— though we will be allowed into their country afterjune, we may find that they are _ country afterjune, we may find that they are on — country afterjune, we may find that they are on the amber or red list, which, _ they are on the amber or red list, which, i_ they are on the amber or red list, which, i think, they are on the amber or red list, which, ithink, would put a they are on the amber or red list, which, i think, would put a source of people — which, i think, would put a source of people. we don't want to either self—isolate or quarantine we get
