after 45 years and more than 1,200 matches, roy hodgson is now relishing a step into the unknown. i'm certainly not leaving crystal palace with the idea of putting myself back on the market and trying to get anotherjob. i really am stepping down from the club and stepping away from football for a while. the past brought great moments. his managerial career began in 1976 in sweden. seven titles later, swedish had become one of his five languages, albeit still in his distinctive croydon accent. in the �*90s, he guided an unfancied switzerland to their first two major tournaments in almost 30 years. but with the highs came the lows. he was sacked from liverpool afterjust 31 games. he later got the england job and talked a good fight. do i believe the squad can win the world cup? yes, of course i believe the squad

can win the world cup. but his reaction to a painful group stage exit in 2014 became much parodied. defeat to iceland at the euros two years later was the last straw. at crystal palace, though, he steered his boyhood club from relegation worries to premier league stability. tomorrow night at selhurst park, fans will get to thank him. i'm much better at hellos than goodbyes but, yes, i'm looking forward to it. he is the premier league's oldest manager ever. at 73, no—one begrudges him the break. roy hodgson, one of the very, very greats of our business. a really, really nice guy, i have to say. in his final match on sunday, he will face liverpool at anfield. for this well read man, victory would provide the perfect plot twist before the next chapter of his life. natalie pirks, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a good night.

hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the journalist and times radio presenterjenny kleeman and writer and broadcaster mihir bose. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... let's start with the daily mail, which leads with the headline, "wish you were clear, ministers", with the government accused of sowing mass confusion over travel rules. the guardian carries a report by the national audit office which has exposed that coronavirus has highlighted decades—long neglect of social care and local government funding. the metro leads with the nurse who cared for the prime minister as he fought covid resigning in disgust at the government's treatment of nhs staff. and on its front page, the independent carries a photo of the nurse, jenny mcgee, alongside borisjohnson. the financial times has a compelling

picture of a spanish soldier carrying a young migrant after record numbers reached ceuta, spain's north african enclave, from neighbouring morocco. and the mirror on its front page has a picture of naomi campbell as she becomes mother to a baby girl in her 50s. so, let's begin. we are going to start with the metro news paper, withjenny mcgee, who has quit the nhs. looking at that picture, you almost have to think if you resign, you almost need to give a photo of yourself with that resignation to make sure it's a flattering photograph because it might be that she is not going to be especially happy with this photo which does appear in several other papers. nevertheless, despite the photo it is a compelling story. this hoto is a photo it is a compelling story. this photo is a steal _ photo it is a compelling story. ti 3 photo is a steal from a photo it is a compelling story. ti 1 photo is a steal from a channel 4 documenting and giving out on 24th

of may. she gave an interview to the document reteam talking about how she feels nurses are not getting respect given the i% proposed pay rise and she is quitting the profession and going to go and work in the caribbean. in that documentary, she talks about how the peronist or try to use are going a photo opportunity at one point. the premise are very famously thanked her and another nurse when it came out of hospital and said he owed these two nurses who looked after him, he owed them his life. and so it would be a big kick in the teeth for him that she has come out and given this interview to this documentary crew and that this news has come out today. it's been very difficult of course for all nurses and all medical staff throughout the course of the year, but i think with nurses come issue of retention is a really serious one. there been many reports of record numbers of people wanting to join the nursing profession after the year that we

have had but they are an enormous number of nurses who are leaving and feel very burnt out and feel unappreciated. and given how pivotal she was to the prime minister's narrative over the course of the year, this will be in these headlines will be very credible for the prime minister. you headlines will be very credible for the prime minister.— headlines will be very credible for the prime minister. you almost have to wonder what _ the prime minister. you almost have to wonder what the _ the prime minister. you almost have to wonder what the other _ the prime minister. you almost have to wonder what the other nurse - the prime minister. you almost have to wonder what the other nurse is i to wonder what the other nurse is doing at the moment.— doing at the moment. yeah, and interesting _ doing at the moment. yeah, and interesting to _ doing at the moment. yeah, and interesting to see _ doing at the moment. yeah, and interesting to see her _ doing at the moment. yeah, and interesting to see her pictures, | doing at the moment. yeah, and i interesting to see her pictures, but you spoke — interesting to see her pictures, but you spoke about that picture not looking — you spoke about that picture not looking very flattering but of course — looking very flattering but of course it _ looking very flattering but of course it suits the story in the papen — course it suits the story in the paper. and _ course it suits the story in the paper. and of course it exposes the whole _ paper. and of course it exposes the whole position borisjohnson took, if you _ whole position borisjohnson took, if you recall when it came out of intensive — if you recall when it came out of intensive care, he made much about what the _ intensive care, he made much about what the nhs had done. this was the moment— what the nhs had done. this was the moment when we were going to protect the nhs _ moment when we were going to protect the nhs and we every thursday evening — the nhs and we every thursday evening we were gathering outside our houses and clapping for them and things— our houses and clapping for them and things like _ our houses and clapping for them and things like that. and what this story— things like that. and what this story shows is that that was a

facade — story shows is that that was a facade. behind the facade, the reality— facade. behind the facade, the reality is— facade. behind the facade, the reality is a very dismal one. people leaving _ reality is a very dismal one. people leaving the — reality is a very dismal one. people leaving the nursing profession, also lots leaving the nursing profession, also iots of— leaving the nursing profession, also lots of vacancies. and the question of the _ lots of vacancies. and the question of the other— lots of vacancies. and the question of the other stories in the papers attout— of the other stories in the papers about the — of the other stories in the papers about the way the government has handled _ about the way the government has handled this unforeseen emergency and the _ handled this unforeseen emergency and the resources it has available and the resources it has available and how— and the resources it has available and how it — and the resources it has available and how it has going to spin the story _ and how it has going to spin the story i— and how it has going to spin the story. i think this is what it exooses. _ story. i think this is what it exposes, the spin that we have had all of— exposes, the spin that we have had all of the _ exposes, the spin that we have had all of the government is doing for the nhs — all of the government is doing for the nhs. ., ,., , all of the government is doing for the nhs. ., , _, . the nhs. you both entirely corrected me on that photograph. _ the nhs. you both entirely corrected me on that photograph. who - the nhs. you both entirely corrected me on that photograph. who needs. me on that photograph. who needs happy photograph when you are leaving in anger? as he rightly said, the photograph matches the mood and is actually on the front page of our next newspaper as well. the guardian, which has it on its front page, i quit, you can see it there but we are actually going to

focus on the story at the top. that picks up on what mihir was saying, that the resignation of dean magee exposes structure witnesses with nursing behind the scenes which goes to other institutions. this nursing behind the scenes which goes to other institutions.— to other institutions. this is to do with findings _ to other institutions. this is to do with findings from _ to other institutions. this is to do with findings from the _ to other institutions. this is to do with findings from the national. with findings from the national audit office which are frankly totally unsurprising. and i think any of us without giving any excessive research could have said over a year ago that the pandemic exposed systemic inequality in this country, have neglected the care system was. but this national audit office report apparently also shows 0ffice report apparently also shows how unprepared the government was for dealing with unforeseen events. i mean, no this is surprising. the postmortem is already beginning of the government's handling of the pandemic. they have not started the official inquiry and if not going to start for a very long time. we know

that no matter how successful the government has been with the extraordinary vaccination drive, which i think has exceeded beyond all expectation, we could have done all expectation, we could have done a lot better if we had handled this better from the beginning a lot better if we had handled this betterfrom the beginning if a lot better if we had handled this better from the beginning if he were not so divided as a society. i am wondering _ not so divided as a society. i am wondering when _ not so divided as a society. i am wondering when we _ not so divided as a society. i am wondering when we look - not so divided as a society. i am wondering when we look at the history of this, we have seen in plenty of previous inquiries exposes of governments which have made mistakes. as a society chemically more interested in the government that relates instantly does a miraculous recovery or do we blame the fact that that problem had to begin in the first place? i the fact that that problem had to begin in the first place?- begin in the first place? i think our attitude — begin in the first place? i think our attitude to _ begin in the first place? i think our attitude to governments i begin in the first place? i think our attitude to governments is| begin in the first place? i think- our attitude to governments is the attitude _ our attitude to governments is the attitude that football supporters have to — attitude that football supporters have to their team. if they win, with— have to their team. if they win, with an — have to their team. if they win, with an injury time goal, they forget — with an injury time goal, they forget how badly the team played. united _ forget how badly the team played. united is _ forget how badly the team played. united is known as the perky time when _ united is known as the perky time when you — united is known as the perky time when you win with a goal in the 93rd or 94th _ when you win with a goal in the 93rd or 94th minute. and borisjohnson and i_ or 94th minute. and borisjohnson and i know— or 94th minute. and borisjohnson and i know from personal experience because _ and i know from personal experience because we — and i know from personal experience because we were together at the telegraph, his knowledge of the ball

happened did not actually doing things— happened did not actually doing things immediately which is what needed _ things immediately which is what needed to be done. but maybe johnson like alex _ needed to be done. but maybe johnson like alex ferguson will have a johnson — like alex ferguson will have a johnson time and he will be winning within— johnson time and he will be winning within three time goals all the time — within three time goals all the time. ~ , , , . time. we will see. there is picture of him on the _ time. we will see. there is picture of him on the front _ time. we will see. there is picture of him on the front page _ time. we will see. there is picture of him on the front page of - time. we will see. there is picture of him on the front page of our - time. we will see. there is picture l of him on the front page of our next paper, the independent. it shows him judging by the weather but i think this is him and jenny mcgee at downing street and some point last year. let's focus on the other picture or article on the front page. workers defined government workers not to travel to amber list country. is it entirely clear what an amber list country is? you might be clear which _ an amber list country is? you might be clear which countries _ an amber list country is? you might be clear which countries are - an amber list country is? you might be clear which countries are on - an amber list country is? you might be clear which countries are on the | be clear which countries are on the amber list but it is not clear what we should be doing with the information that it is on the amber list. the environment secretary today saying it was ok to go on holiday to an amber list country so long as you quarantine afterwards and that he was then corrected by the prime minister later on of the

day, same people really should not go at all to an amber liz country on holiday. and it does seem very silly this system, why don't we have countries that you can go to and it's all right and everywhere else is hotel quarantine? looking new zealand or australia, the countries that have really fared quite well in the pandemic, they have been decisive when it comes to controlling their borders and it seems ridiculous for the premonition to be saying don't go holding these countries but not making it illegal to go on holiday to these countries or not stipulating more strongly with the conditions are for travel to be ok to the amber list country. some i think it's necessarily obligated and opaque, and we know that the messaging on covid—i9 is incredibly important. when the message is clear and it says stay at home, people follow it. when it becomes a little bit elastic or more of a continuum then a kind of like a white category of you can or you cannot, that is when things get difficult. it cannot, that is when things get

difficult. ., , ., difficult. it does remind me about the oint difficult. it does remind me about the point about _ difficult. it does remind me about the point about march _ difficult. it does remind me about the point about march 16 - difficult. it does remind me about the point about march 16 last - difficult. it does remind me aboutj the point about march 16 last year when the prime ministers said the pubs and bars are still open, don't go to them but they are still open. i wonder if that was the first proto— amber list we ever had a pubs for that week. proto- amber list we ever had a pubs for that week-— for that week. absolutely, and that was characteristic _ for that week. absolutely, and that was characteristic of _ for that week. absolutely, and that was characteristic of boris - for that week. absolutely, and thatj was characteristic of boris johnson. ifyou _ was characteristic of boris johnson. ifyou recall— was characteristic of boris johnson. if you recall that was a speech where — if you recall that was a speech where he _ if you recall that was a speech where he said we were going to crush the sombrero and i don't know who is wearing _ the sombrero and i don't know who is wearing a _ the sombrero and i don't know who is wearing a sombrero now but or where it was— wearing a sombrero now but or where it was crushed or what has happened to it, _ it was crushed or what has happened to it. that— it was crushed or what has happened to it, that will be interesting to find that— to it, that will be interesting to find that out and the inquiry will eventually tell us that i guess. but jenny— eventually tell us that i guess. but jenny is _ eventually tell us that i guess. but jenny is right to bring out how australia _ jenny is right to bring out how australia and new zealand have done it, they— australia and new zealand have done it, they have enforced regulations very strictly and reports coming from _ very strictly and reports coming from heathrow today when their passengers coming back from india on the red _ passengers coming back from india on the red list _ passengers coming back from india on the red list who were mingling with supposed _ the red list who were mingling with supposed passengers from the amber list and _ supposed passengers from the amber list and what this whole scenario shows _ list and what this whole scenario shows is— list and what this whole scenario shows is that we have not had proper policy _ shows is that we have not had proper policy laid _ shows is that we have not had proper policy laid out and that policy has

about the confusion. travel rules chaos mss wish you were clear, ministers also assessed on the front page to minister say holidays to amber list countries are ok but p.m. 0verrules them and warns all foreign trips are dangerous. you mentioned we should have a stopper go system but serious question do you think they might impose that were not? i hope they will impose it. but i don't know. i think it will be seen as kind of too little, too late and we have seen this so often in this pandemic, too little, too late, discussing only a few days ago about the complete mess up over deciding whether or not to put india on the red list. there was three weeks of the other over that. you need decisive action when you are... if you're going to allow borders to be open at all, you have to make decisions very early and very firmly. and if we eventually do go back to a binary system where you either hotel quarantine or you are

in a place that is totally fine to go to, i hope that we do have that system but we need to be doing as soon as possible, i would say. mihir, you have written excessively about india. i wonder what your thoughts are between britain and india and the decision to keep borders open which is been criticised?— borders open which is been criticised? ., ,., ., ., borders open which is been criticised? ., ., , criticised? the reason for that is boris johnson — criticised? the reason for that is boris johnson is _ criticised? the reason for that is boris johnson is very _ criticised? the reason for that is boris johnson is very keen - criticised? the reason for that is boris johnson is very keen to - criticised? the reason for that is| boris johnson is very keen to get this deal— boris johnson is very keen to get this deal done with india. he was going _ this deal done with india. he was going to — this deal done with india. he was going to visit india originally on republic— going to visit india originally on republic date, which is the great day would india become a republic and a _ day would india become a republic and a great day of any and celebration. that did not take place but he _ celebration. that did not take place but he was — celebration. that did not take place but he was still going to visit india — but he was still going to visit india until about a month or so ago and he _ india until about a month or so ago and he wanted to keep the border open _ and he wanted to keep the border open and — and he wanted to keep the border open and flights kept open and so want _ open and flights kept open and so want and — open and flights kept open and so want. and of course as we know the government— want. and of course as we know the government there has been a complete hash of— government there has been a complete hash of the _ government there has been a complete hash of the pandemic there. india is in a terrible — hash of the pandemic there. india is in a terrible state. but even the prime _ in a terrible state. but even the prime minister, the teflon man, is probably— prime minister, the teflon man, is probably losing a bit of his
