hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are former fleet street editor, eve pollard and anand menon, director of the uk in a changing europe. it think tank which is a lot of negotiation on the brexit. i'm sure he has a lot of other things on his plate these days. let me bring you up—to—date on the front pages let me bring you up—to—date on the front pages queen back in the office at 95... the front page of the metro shows queen elizabeth ii in the house of lords at the opening of parliament. she set out more than 25 bills in her speech, her 67. she set up more than 25 speeches. she set up more than 25 speeches.
11:32 pm
her first official appearance in public since the death of her husband prince philip last month. one of these new bills is detailed on the front page of tomorrow's times. the paper reports that student unions will be legally obliged to protect freedrom of speech and could be taken to court by so—called �*cancelled' speakers. those were denied the opportunity to speak after they had been booked. those were denied the opportunity to speak after they had been booked. when will they show they care? — the daily mail highlights the lack of detail in the queen's speech about future social care funding plans. reporting that borisjohnson devoted just nine words to social care. but he said when he first took office more than 18 months ago that he had a planned ready—made to rollout. he had a planned ready—made to rollout. on the guardian's front page, warnings about another of the new bills — planned legislation to make photo id compulsory for elections. the paper reports that two million people don't have the required id so would be unable to vote. on the front page of
11:33 pm
the telegraph, black smoke in the skies above gaza — the paper reports that israel bombed palestinian areas and hamas returned fire with more than 100 rockets, as clashes between the two sides escalated. the independent leads on the latest developments in the greensill inquiry — as it's revealed that former prime minister david cameron sent dozens of texts lobbying for greensill capital. and there's more on this from the i, reporting that mr cameron sent 47 messages to ministers and officials trying to get treasury funding for greensill — a finance firm that employed him. do you want to kick off on this one was social care? that's on the front of the mail. it's fair to say that this is a particular bullet that for whatever reason a succession of governments have dodge. it's almost
11:34 pm
one that none of the parties can hold their head up with pride about. labor. sheet, the liberal deborah and conservatives dodged it and the conservative have dodged it until now. but is this promise written in the paperwork the paper in which the queen wrote it even if the paper was part to make?— queen wrote it even if the paper was art to make? ~ part to make? well, he has committed himself, the — part to make? well, he has committed himself, the prime _ part to make? well, he has committed himself, the prime minister— part to make? well, he has committed himself, the prime minister in - himself, the prime minister in parliament to bring forward legislation. i should say perhaps the most current thing over the last two years of the experience of the conservatives in the 2017 election when teresa may put forward some quite radical proposals for social care in the conservative manifesto. and they were forced to do a humiliating u—turn. ithink and they were forced to do a humiliating u—turn. i think that having made government any keener to grasp this particular metal. that mirror has been running a long campaign to the cost of dementia care. they are on as his front page shows absolutely furious. perhaps the government will be slightly concerned that quite a few prominent

mps have come out and said they are quite disappointed by the lack of legislation on social care. the conservatives _ legislation on social care. the conservatives did _ legislation on social care. the conservatives did try, got their fingers in the 2017 campaign and then rewrote the plans and then didn't do anything na and at that point. labourto didn't do anything na and at that point. labour to get its fingers burnt when he tried to do a cross party deal on this and conservatives said it was going to be a death tax and then everybody ran away from it. is this one of those things that we will keep talking about and just keep putting off do think? i will keep talking about and 'ust keep putting off do think? i hope not. it is keep putting off do think? i hope not- it is in _ keep putting off do think? i hope not. it is in an _ keep putting off do think? i hope not. it is in an enormous - keep putting off do think? i hope | not. it is in an enormous problem. it will_ not. it is in an enormous problem. it will be _ not. it is in an enormous problem. it will be very— not. it is in an enormous problem. it will be very expensive. it's very interesting — it will be very expensive. it's very interesting that dimension always comes_ interesting that dimension always comes up — interesting that dimension always comes up. it did in the 2017 election _ comes up. it did in the 2017 election. it's come up in this piece lodax _ election. it's come up in this piece today i'll — election. it's come up in this piece today. i'd ratheradmire election. it's come up in this piece today. i'd rather admire the daily mail because it's attacking the government that is supposed to be supporting. i think all paper should do this _ supporting. i think all paper should do this if— supporting. i think all paper should do this. if you think your party is not doing — do this. if you think your party is not doing what they should be it's

that is _ being effectively disenfranchised. that is a — being effectively disenfranchised. that is a serious worry. any rule that's designed to deal with fraud. because the evidence of electoral fraud in this country is pretty thin. you mentioned last hour the case that made that case so extraordinary it was so unusual. t extraordinary it was so unusual. i agree. i think that it's an interesting point of view. i think frankly people should be, i remember this is r. people were helped, people who were disabled, people who couldn't get to the polling booths were held either by postal parties or by local authorities or by friends and neighbours to get to vote. that's one of the greatjoys about living in this country. you have the right to vote if you live here. i think they should be all be helped to get the right. after all were all going to have covid... and to give their order they hopefully are been vaccinated. i think they should be given the help to help
11:39 pm
them. i think so but he should say to them and how do you get to the polling station and can we help you with that? all parties, all sorts should be helped to vote. the front ofthe should be helped to vote. the front of the times. _ should be helped to vote. the front of the times, we _ should be helped to vote. the front of the times, we didn't _ should be helped to vote. the front of the times, we didn't have - should be helped to vote. the front of the times, we didn't have the - of the times, we didn't have the times in the last review we now have the front page at least of the first edition. this is one i suspect will be of particular interest to academics who work in universities. this question of protecting free speech. sorry anna. anna, carry on. this is a proposed law and the queen speech— this is a proposed law and the queen speech to _ this is a proposed law and the queen speech to legislating this week to allow— speech to legislating this week to allow people to claim back and to see you _ allow people to claim back and to see you in — allow people to claim back and to see you in the event that there are language _ see you in the event that there are language and cancelable to people who are _ language and cancelable to people who are invited that was subsequently no platform like going to be giving a form of legal redress _ to be giving a form of legal redress. what university say is this is a solution — redress. what university say is this is a solution to a nonproblem. it

11:42 pm
used to happen is all sorts of people were asked to debate. even people were asked to debate. even people with horrid views, awful views but they were allowed to speak to university students particularly it was supposed to be learning how to deal with some of the worst elements in politics. now there is either a safety first which is what a university state just because they can't deal with the problem. orjust people are quietly and platform. certain women talking about women's education have been on platforms in certain universities. all sorts of things go on. and i think that's when we live in a democracy you should be able to say what you think. and you should be able to debate it and doing that in a proper debating chamber where there is no violence, everybody gets a turn, everybody can listen and possibly vote at the end. and i think we have

time. it's no way to run a piece is it? itjust keeps sticking needles into the problem. i don't know, i think there's got to be a coming together. there's got to be a sort of hat. of course it was a good friday agreement but it was never followed up on the ground with people seeking to get on. i'm sure all over ireland people are seeking to get on with their neighbors. neighbours that they didn't perhaps choose to get on it. but nothings been done officially.— choose to get on it. but nothings been done officially. maybe the plan is now to do — been done officially. maybe the plan is now to do it. _ been done officially. maybe the plan is now to do it. interesting - been done officially. maybe the plan is now to do it. interesting thoughtl is now to do it. interesting thought to pose there. can we look at the front of the fte? this is the appearance by lex greensill. you don't get many lapses do you? like a name affection, lex. i can't help but think of lex luther because i think it's unfair because i think is a comic book villain. lex greensill gave a rather polished performance

women feel that their experiences, their lives are being reflected in their lives are being reflected in the many products that procter & gamble cell. everyday products that we all use. and i gather they've also got in association with the company procter & gamble helped in brazil which also talks to boys about not being violent and behaving properly towards women. it's quite interesting that they are trying to do this not—for—profit start. you've heard about the millions from netflix, the millions from sparta five. what is interesting is they seem to have finally taken root in the usa. i don't suppose they're ever going to come back. in any official roll away. but that's probably healthy and good. dare official roll away. but that's probably healthy and good. are you leased to probably healthy and good. are you pleased to see _ probably healthy and good. are you pleased to see that _ probably healthy and good. are you pleased to see that they _ probably healthy and good. are you pleased to see that they seem - probably healthy and good. are you pleased to see that they seem to i probably healthy and good. are you| pleased to see that they seem to be finding a role in their lives given how things had ended in terms of the royalfamily? i

11:51 pm
producer, writer did everything who's died at the age of 106. his acting career lasted 92 years. that's it from the papers. a brief back after the sport and weather. hello, i'm austin halewood with your latest sports news. there's only one place to start tonight because manchester city have been crowned premier league champions. and they did it without even kicking a ball tonight. defeat for manchester united at home to lester means that city cannot be caught. guardiola side when a third title in and four seasons. our correspondent has more. congratulations to pep guardiola and manchester city. the moment that meant disappointment i once had a manchester
11:52 pm
and delight on the other. defeat the united meant that city were champions for the fifth time in less than a decade. for their fans another other night to celebrate. it's unbelievable. biggest achievement so far. nothing beats it, primarily, you just know you want the champions of the england. we won the premier let'sj hope we can go to an end to the champions league as well. earlier united's 2—one defeat ended their slender hopes of catching city. whose players can celebrate from the comfort of their armchairs like who said it was unbelievable. while sterling tweeted it's the champions baby on and understandably proud night. we are here where city have played some stunning football this season. of course none of their fans have been able to watch it. every game here has been behind closed doors. but it hasn't stopped their success.
11:53 pm
so what's been theire secret? yes, they've headstand out stars like boyer and city fan fell floating but it's their collective strength that's been key. to me it special because even i think it was january, february time when you say deprived her down using maguire go down, there to the best players in the world. but in that time i think city won every single game. i think that says a lot about the collective. and so city's decade of domestic domination has a new chapter. and with a first champions league final to come it could be their greatest yet. it's been some season so far for city. we've just been hearing from their manager, he's been speaking to city tv. so in games everything happen but the league is everyday, every day and we did it incredible. i think is everything start in december and we won
11:54 pm
in southampton until 7th of march and we guess lost against united. that period. december and march, we won absolutely everything on the games. and that made us possible. that win for lester tonight at old trafford is a huge boost to their hopes of playing champions league football next year. it also brought an end to manchester united unlikely chance of catching city in the title race. but manager was quick to complement his city rivals. i think the whole season has given us optimism and room for optimism. but also room for improvement. i think we pushed man city all the way until ten, 12 days left of the season. and that's a very good achievement, i think. because they are a very good team. a very worthy champion. i say congratulations because they have played some fantastic stuff this season.

one other game tonight southampton being crystal palace 3—1. both sides knew it would guarantee premier league football next season. palace actually took the league and the first five minutes but southampton drew level thanks to that smart finish from ends. adams then put them in from making a 3—1 with the second goal of the game. and his 12th of the season. meanwhile, we still don't know where the all—english champions league final, between manchester city and chelsea, will take place. earlier today, culture secretary oliver dowden said the government cleared the way for uefa to host the final at wembley. the match will be moved from istanbul, but portugal has emerged as an alternative host. i don't think it would be productive to get into the detail of the discussions going on. we are still discussing it with them. i think given the huge progress that we've made and we've seen just this week at the prime minister is announcing that fans can come back into

11:57 pm
by pemco in the first round in rome. konta not able to put up too much of a fight. she lost 6—3— one injust 69 minutes. and that is all your support for now. just a quick reminder tonight manchester city have been crowned premier league champions. plenty more on the bbc website. for me and the team, have a very good night. hello there. we saw plenty of showers across the country on tuesday. particularly for the midlands, wales and northern england where we had some thunderstorms as well, producing very heavy hailstones like this weather watcher picture shows, in flintshire in north wales. now, for today, it's going to be another one of sunshine and showers, but they shall resume not be quite as intense as what we had on tuesday. but our area of low pressure, which has been sitting on to the west of ireland and the uk for the last few days, will slowly start to fill. weakend as it pushes its way
11:58 pm
eastwards across the country. so we will start off again, good deal of sunshine around, but then the showers will start to get going. a bit more cloud, though, for the northern half of scotland. we've seen showery bursts of rain here. and this area of rain in the channel is going to bring some wet weather through the channel islands through the day and start to push northwards into central southern england, southwest england at times. again, temperatures pretty much what they have been the last few days, around the mid—teens celsius for those. a bit colder than that across the northern half of scotland. now, that wet weather across the south pushes further north into parts of wales, the midlands. it could be quite wet through wednesday night across the south. elsewhere, the showers will tend to fade. there will be some clear spells, but also quite a bit of cloud across northern scotland. and again, for most of us, it's going to be another frost free one. so for thursday it could start rather cloudy, quite wet for parts of wales, the midlands into southern england. it will eventually ease away and then it's another one of sunshine and showers, and the odd shower could be on the heavy side again with a rumble of thunder. but a bit more cloud again from the north and east of scotland. temperatures again range from around 1a to 17 degrees, particularly where we have the sunshine, but the cloudy skies
11:59 pm
across northern scotland, there it will feel cooler than that. the airflow turns quite slack on friday. we are almost in between weather systems. and it could be friday will be a cloudier day across. that will inhibit the showers that develop. but where we get some sunshine across northern ireland, wales, southern england, this is where we could see some of the showers there developing which could be on the heavy side again. it is here where we will see temperatures reaching around 15 or 16 degrees, otherwise a bit cooler across the board where we have the cloud. so that's how was looking for thursday and friday. if i run the sequence on through the weekend and into the start of next week dominated by low pressure. so we are likely to see spells of rain followed by sunshine and showers. and this temperatures remaining around orjust below the seasonal average. notjust for the weekend, but even as we head throughout much of next week.
