so let's begin... do you want to take us through this question? we touched on an hour ago but we now have an optimistic assessment of what will be, which countries will be able to travel to come the 17th of may if we have all of the right paperwork etc etc. uk holiday list out on friday but the ia claims to have got it already. don't know if it's too optimistic giving that it's only a handful of countries on it, i think you are to be very select we might want to go for may 17. 20 to the effect of the foreign office rather unexpectedly published a list today, i believe, of its travel advice so countries where it does not advise against travel. at on there were places like portugal and the canary islands and i think it would seem very much as

11:39 pm
new certificates to go abroad. the article about daily life once we have vaccines and it was just a hope. not necessarily great for the government if they do not manage to get things sorted in time but i don't think it would necessarily but not going holidayjust because they don't have a piece of paper —— have to have a piece of paper. i don't have a piece of paper -- have to have a piece of paper.— to have a piece of paper. i think this is the _ to have a piece of paper. i think this is the booster, _ to have a piece of paper. i think this is the booster, that - to have a piece of paper. i think this is the booster, that matt i this is the booster, that matt hancock was talking about ordering more doses for. it's interesting in the context of all of the concerned now about countries like india are desperate to get their hands on vaccine doses and the fear about if you don't vaccinate everybody you are giving time for the virus to mutate in a position making the vaccines worthless. the mutate in a position making the vaccines worthless.— mutate in a position making the vaccines worthless. the mantra that nobod is vaccines worthless. the mantra that nobody is safe _ vaccines worthless. the mantra that nobody is safe until _

11:42 pm
news last half—hour. didn't have didn't have the time to check where this photo was from masoud thatjust cut off on the print we have. however it is and wherever they are, good evening to you and apologies for not naming you if you are watching. or indeed where you are, despite the rain it's a very happy photograph. i5 despite the rain it's a very happy photograph-— photograph. is lovely and a real chance for— photograph. is lovely and a real chance for freedom. _ photograph. is lovely and a real chance for freedom. it's - photograph. is lovely and a real. chance for freedom. it's probably chance forfreedom. it's probably quite refreshing for this lady to be able to put an umbrella up and go outside the confines of her care home where she's probably been stuck for a good chunk of this last year. and it's great news that there is a relaxation on care home restrictions and a blink carol leave to go outside for a walk or to a friend or family's garden. the restrictions are not about the relaxation of restrictions are not mandatory. not all care homes are doing at or abiding by the government guidance on visiting. and so it's done out of
11:43 pm
an abundance of caution but i think this concern and care homes may be really overzealous and for people in the last years of her life are able to enjoy the freedoms that many others in society are able to enjoy combat many of them will have had them if not all of them could well have had two dose of of a vaccine. the question is what is the risk of allowing these people to have the same freedoms that we are enjoying and not even able to go to the pub. it has to be a low risk environment where they are allowed out and you contrast that with the fact that there care staff are able to come and quite properly are able to lead and quite properly are able to lead a relatively normal life. of course one would hope they are very careful but nothing to stop them going to the club after work and his real questions about why care home residents are being treated as second—class citizens. residents are being treated as second-class citizens.- residents are being treated as second-class citizens. let's move onto the male — second-class citizens. let's move onto the male and _ second-class citizens. let's move onto the male and this _ second-class citizens. let's move

11:47 pm
at risk of prosecution it will only power on the government to make sure they don't happen again because if you among conservatives is that northern ireland veterans should be prosecuted for historical allegations like these. the more disturbinu allegations like these. the more disturbing thing _ allegations like these. the more disturbing thing regardless - allegations like these. the more disturbing thing regardless of i allegations like these. the more i disturbing thing regardless of what view you take on that is the sense that there wasn't any fresh evidence and that the only from the prostitution was based on effect of the testimony of these men gave without having been caution from which any other circumstance would regard as almost inevitably going to be regarded as inadmissible, so a curious decision to go ahead anyway. and so many of the processes at the time left _ and so many of the processes at the time left a _ and so many of the processes at the time left a lot to be desired. prosecutors and police cutting corners — prosecutors and police cutting corners across all communities and trying _ corners across all communities and trying to— corners across all communities and trying to get convictions. and that's— trying to get convictions. and that's one _ trying to get convictions. and that's one of the terrible legacies of the _ that's one of the terrible legacies of the troubles come and the fact that british soldiers and notjust

11:49 pm
are just 1% above labour, my paper, which put conservatives arejust1% above labour, this is 40% in the actual constituency. the past backers of labour are set to vote for the labour candidate in hartlepool, and that's a very, very low number. what's not in the detail of this is whether that's voter apathy or whether they just don't apathy or whether theyjust don't like apathy or whether they just don't like labour. and of course hartlepool is a kia red wall seat, set the labour heartland but it did vote very strongly in favour of brexit and in 2019 the brexit party stood in hartlepool and split the tory vote. so i don't think it's that astonishing in my reading also says that is not necessarily a huge blow for keir starmer if he does lose hartlepool because he would not have been a liberal when had to break the party not stood last time around. it will be embarrassing but probably not that surprising, and i

11:53 pm
defending as he picked up city's first of the night 11 minutes in ps6 had chances to equalise but couldn't take advantage so when mahrez got on the end of a phil foden cross he made no mistake. pep guardiola's side in charge and their opponents struggling, angel di maria paying the price for his petulance and when the full time whistle went it was guardiola's side who moved through to play either chelsea or real madrid in instanbul on the 29th of may. real madrid's marcelo will play against chelsea tomorrow in the second leg of their champions league semi—final, after he was freed from electoral duty in the spanish capital. the brazilian had been called to work as a scrutineer for a regional election and the club had tried to free him of it, but it's understood a lady who has no idea who the defender is offered to step in meaning he could travel to london with his team—mates with the tie precariously poised at 1—1 from the opening leg. meanwhile chelsea and liverpool will have a supporter presence in future decisions at board level of their respective clubs.
11:54 pm
it follows both clubs withdrawal from a proposed european super league which saw a backlash from both sets of supporters. a man has been charged over a protest against manchester united's owners which took place outside a hotel where the team's players were staying. fans gathered against the glazer�*s ownership and united's potential involvement in the breakaway european super league on sunday. it comes as the premier league looks to bring in a new owners charter to stop future attempts to join any breakaway organisation. what a game to miss out on? the report, manchester united is probably one of the biggest games shown worldwide. across the globe. may be after l classico, it is up there with the biggest and so the fans have caused a real problem and getting this game postponed, i think is concerning because now you have got a precedent. 50, 100 fans can get a game called off and postponed what happens next time fans are not happy with their football club? are they now going to do the same?
