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. a picture of residents queuing up at a vaccine centre in bolton, where record numbers ofjabs have been administered in response to fears about the indian variant, is on the front page of the daily telegraph. the guardian carries a report by the national audit office which 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. according to the times, borisjohnson is prepared to offer australia tariff—free access

to british food markets despite warnings that it could put farmers out of business. 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's 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 rather unclear advice about travel. if you look at the delete mail, our first paper, which you were clear, ministers. travel rules chaos with to minister saying that travel to and bert list countries is ok but the prime minister overruling them. who should we pay attention to? the amber who should we pay attention to? tue: amber list who should we pay attention to? tte: amber list if the list we could go to these countries if it is strictly necessary. this is where the whole problem arises because what happens

on the programme this morning, the environment secretary said you can go to amber list countries if you want to visit a friend. boris johnson comes back and says, no, you cannot do that. then lord bethel says absolutely foreign travel, you should not have foreign travel. if you come back, you could be electronically tagged in quarantine. so clearly nobody has quite explained what this amber... amber is a waiting light where we expect to go into something, but clearly thatis to go into something, but clearly that is not how it is being used. we need really precise rules, it will be can go in which countries we can go to in a while we need to go there and what happens when we go there and what happens when we go there and when we come back. and none of this is clearly defined and really the paper is quite right, there is confusion, which is always been there at the heart of government policy on the coronavirus.-

never really left. no, he never left and what he _ never really left. no, he never left and what he is _ never really left. no, he never left and what he is proposing - never really left. no, he never left and what he is proposing to - never really left. no, he never left and what he is proposing to do - never really left. no, he never left. and what he is proposing to do could be quite devastating because what he said is that he is going to have a crucial document which at one stage he could sell and donate the proceeds to covid—i9 victims and families of those victims and then deleted that tweet. but this crucial document he says will show that the government plans were part disaster, part nonexistent and that there has been a necessary secrecy over vaccine supplies, light 90% of the plans were totally irrelevant to national security and to be disclosed. and he is now promising to deliver that document to the inquiry that is being held. and this thing that is going on between dominic cummings and borisjohnson reminds me very much of a movie i saw many years ago about hearing the second and thomas a becket come over to burkett plate becket and henry the second was played by peter o'toole and peter o'toole said who

0'toole and peter o'toole said who had rid me of this priest? and the question is more stress must be hoping that somebody will rid him of this richard burton —like character although it dominic cummings does not like richard burton i must say. but he might�*ve thought that he got rid of him last year. yes. but he might've thought that he got rid of him last year.— rid of him last year. yes, and the brass neck _ rid of him last year. yes, and the brass neck of _ rid of him last year. yes, and the brass neck of this _ rid of him last year. yes, and the brass neck of this man. - rid of him last year. yes, and the brass neck of this man. this - rid of him last year. yes, and the i brass neck of this man. this report is about— brass neck of this man. this report is about his — brass neck of this man. this report is about his tweets today. he is giving _ is about his tweets today. he is giving evidence in front of parliamentary select committee next week _ parliamentary select committee next week he _ parliamentary select committee next week. he was tweeting today and one of the _ week. he was tweeting today and one of the things he tweeted was lockdowns lacked serious enforcement. and he who in very many ways is— enforcement. and he who in very many ways is a _ enforcement. and he who in very many ways is a personification of the breaching _ ways is a personification of the breaching of lockdown rules, and his breaching _ breaching of lockdown rules, and his breaching of lockdown rules, and his breaching of lockdown rules and the slavish _ breaching of lockdown rules and the slavish support of him of the cabinet _ slavish support of him of the cabinet after he breached those rules _ cabinet after he breached those rules was— cabinet after he breached those rules was for many people a tipping point _ rules was for many people a tipping point in _ rules was for many people a tipping point in the — rules was for many people a tipping point in the pandemic last year it will he _ point in the pandemic last year it will be suddenly began to realise that the — will be suddenly began to realise that the message was not clear and

daily mirror. this is another of those what happened next? the covid—i9 nurse borisjohnson quits over pay insult. 0ne covid—i9 nurse borisjohnson quits over pay insult. one of the two nurses boris johnson over pay insult. one of the two nurses borisjohnson mentioned who helped him and he believes helped him to stay alive. ginny —— tina mcgee is residing in disgust over the pay offer of nearly i%. it is a happy picture of her and i have course study engraved of the different types of pictures of her but nevertheless mihir this is a story papers picking up on. yes it has been the _ story papers picking up on. yes it has been the front _ story papers picking up on. yes it has been the front page - story papers picking up on. yes it has been the front page of - story papers picking up on. yes it has been the front page of any i story papers picking up on. yes it has been the front page of any ofj has been the front page of any of the papers as you point out, this picture is of a happy smiling ginny mcgee. but others make her look very grim. and again this is not a story that borisjohnson or the government will like because last year when borisjohnson was not in intensive care, he made a very specific point of thinking the nurses and particularly ginny mcgee and another nurse for helping him. and keeping

them alive. and also last year much was made about how the whole nation should respond to these marvellous carriers and every thursday evening we went outside our houses and showed our appreciation. and then for that same nurse a year later to say the government is not actually doing anything and the government is really if you monitor stories that she was asked to go to a partyjust to soar of present the facade that the government cared for the nursing sector and she refused to go. and that i think lays up in the whole question about how or what is the reality, the lack of any connection between what the government says it is doing and what is the actual reality, the state of the nursing and nhs and the fact is a lot of

nurses are leaving the nhs and there is a great deal of vacancy in the service. t is a great deal of vacancy in the service. ., ., ., service. i will move to our next -a er, service. i will move to our next paper. which — service. i will move to our next paper, which also _ service. i will move to our next paper, which also features - service. i will move to our next paper, which also features the | service. i will move to our next - paper, which also features the story ofjenny mcgee, a rather different picture of her. this is a steal of herfrom an upcoming channel 4 herfrom an upcoming channel a documentary. she is talking about the weaknesses within the nhs in the story we are going to look at is a story we are going to look at is a story above that. virus expose government weakness, fines watchdog, ginny. the government weakness, fines watchdog, ginn. , ., ., government weakness, fines watchdog, ginn. , . ., ., ginny. the guardian reporting on some national— ginny. the guardian reporting on some national audit _ ginny. the guardian reporting on some national audit office - ginny. the guardian reporting on . some national audit office analysis, but i some national audit office analysis, but i think— some national audit office analysis, but i think what this speaks to is this hunger we all have for some sort of— this hunger we all have for some sort of retrospective look back at some _ sort of retrospective look back at some sort — sort of retrospective look back at some sort of inquiry to learn the mistakes — some sort of inquiry to learn the mistakes of the pandemic and its inquiry— mistakes of the pandemic and its inquiry the government has now said it is going _ inquiry the government has now said it is going to— inquiry the government has now said it is going to have but not for very lon- it is going to have but not for very long time — it is going to have but not for very long time. it is not going to conclude _ long time. it is not going to conclude perhaps until the next parliament. the national audit office — parliament. the national audit office found that the pandemic really — office found that the pandemic really laid bare the fault lines

is not shown that he is very good it actually managing apart from of course getting the vaccine out in record time and making a success of that part of it. but overall management of the government has not been good. and the whole pandemic has repeatedly shown us that. qt has repeatedly shown us that. of course that word apart from the vaccine will out some would say that's a pretty big exception. that if the main priority of this year. we are going to move to the fc. and look at the movement of people. we talked about this earlier on in the bulletin about whether we could go on holiday but this i think puts this into a certain different light. looking at migration from morocco into a spanish enclave in north africa. and a picture which is redolent of 2015.— africa. and a picture which is redolent of 2015. , ., ., redolent of 2015. yes, i mean we all remember — redolent of 2015. yes, i mean we all remember those _ redolent of 2015. yes, i mean we all remember those pictures _ redolent of 2015. yes, i mean we all remember those pictures of - redolent of 2015. yes, i mean we all remember those pictures of the - redolent of 2015. yes, i mean we all| remember those pictures of the dead on the _ remember those pictures of the dead on the beach of migrants trying to

dreadful but destabilising libya that way, what good has it done? what benefit has it produced in libya? and what has in fact attributed to with the lid the migrants that are coming into europe? and unless we sort the problem in a much broader scale and notjust economic benefit we provide the countries to make sure they grow, but to make sure our western foreign policy is not an interventionist foreign policy that instead of leading to good move which is what it was meant to be or what it is claimed it would be, actual leads to a lot of damage and causes the west in turn damage. migration 2015 led up to a big part of the brexit vote in 2016 and the consequences of brexit in the search for a is what the times leads off with. ourfinal paper, pm backs tariff free trade with australia to some the fact that the times it says that it might put farmers out of

or zero tariffs. and what this story also illustrates is there is a division within the government. michael gove is a great committee for brexit but he is not it seems happy with this deal whereasjohnson wants to announce a deal which will show that britain is again a global trading power which is what brexit was meant to give us freedom, get us independence back. but the deal, and the farmers, many of whom voted for brexit, are suddenly discovery that brexit, are suddenly discovery that brexit may not be doing them as much good as they thought it would. final sto . we good as they thought it would. final story- we will _ good as they thought it would. final story. we will quickly look at online parenting given top marks was of the added parent teacher evenings may remain on zoom potentially like these press reviews. jenny, mihir, write a broadcaster and bbc sport editor, thank you to you both. to press reviews in one night. that is it for the papers for this hour.

hello there, good evening. i'm chetan pathak with your sports news. three days after they met in the fa cup final, chelsea have been playing leicester city again, this time in the premier league. and this time, chelsea have won. with supporters back at stamford bridge, antonio rudiger put them ahead early in the second half. var intervened to give chelsea a penalty, whichjorginho then scored. iheanacho pulled one back for leicester, but it finished 2—1. the win moves chelsea up to third, and if they beat aston villa on sunday, they're guaranteed to finish there. leicester's champions league hopes in peril now. liverpool will replace them in fourth if they beat burnley tomorrow night. it was a strong performance, a well—deserved result. i'm absolutely happy. but it's no time celebration.

the job is not done yet. we games two more games to go, and like i said, it was a very deserved when with a strong, strong performance. very happy to play in front of supporters, it was a huge difference today. the players have had a great season, but it was always going to be after 38 games. so, it's up to us. we've got to recover and just really concentrate on ourselves really, and get three points on sunday and see where we end up. if it's in the champions league, then amazing. if it'sjust outside, the players have still had a great season. well, that win for chelsea guarantees manchester united will finish as premier league runners—up despite being held to a 1—1 draw by fulham at old trafford earlier. with 10,000 fans back, many continuing to protest against the owners, cavani gave them something to cheer about with a brilliant chip 15 minutes in. united, though, couldn't find the second goal, and with a quarter of an hour to go, joe bryan headed in the equalsier for fulham.

i know we're not where we want to be in the league, but hopefully— we can bring a trophy back in about ten days' time. i so, we'll do whatever we can, i and hopefully next year we can see everyone on the seats again. so, all the best, support the team and safe trip back home. - thanks. well, what a night for brighton, who came from 2—0 down to beat ten—man manchester city 3—2. phil foden had made it 2—0 to the champions in the second half, but brighton responded. leandro trossard pulling one back before adam webster heading in the equaliser here. and then an unlikely hero in dan burn stepping up with 15 minutes remaining to get the winner to the delight of the home fans. leeds united are up to eighth place after a 2—0 win at southampton. patrick bamford scored the opener with just under 20 minutes to go, his 16th goal of the season,

with tyler roberts wrapping up the win in injury time. now, roy hodgson is leaving crystal palace at the end of the season. the 73—year—old says the time is right to step away from the rigours of the premier league. though he's never finished the season in the top half of the table with palace, he's the only manager to keep them in the premier league for four successive seasons. the club's chairman, steve parish, says he'll be forever grateful to him. the former england boss hasn't ruled out staying in the game in some capacity. his last match with palace will be at liverpool on sunday. a decision which hasn't exactly been taken overnight. it's been really brewing for a long time, and i had it in the back of my mind that the right time to leave the club and maybe even to leave football for a while will be at the end of this season. and i'm pleased, really, that despite the speculation of the last two or three months, we've still been able to keep things

on a pretty even keel. and it looks like we're going to be ending the season in a very dignified way, and that was important to me. now, tottenham play aston villa tomorrow, but the pre—match news conference today was dominated by harry kane's future. the england captain has another three years left on his spurs contract, and although the bbc understands that kane hasn't asked for a transfer, numerous reports say he wants out this summer after another trophy—less season. i don't think anything's awkward. because there's always speculation around the best players. like i said, i'm sure there's been a lot of speculation in the last three or four weeks about the new manager coming in, all of these question marks, which is normal. when you're a big club, that's normal. so, ourfocus, like i said and i've said it all along, is on the next game. my mind hasn't deviated from that. i'm sure harry's hasn't. i'm sure the rest of the group, every individual, their mind hasn't deviated from that. so, we'll have to be

ready tomorrow to compete and hopefully get three points. now, history's been made in rugby union's premiership as exeter�*s sam simmonds broke the record for most tries by a player in a single season. simmonds scored a hat—trick as the chiefs beat london irish 31—12 to take his tally to 19 tries in 19 games, eclipsing the previous record of 17. exeter are up to second in the table. britain's adam peaty has retained his 100—metres breaststroke title at the european swimming championships in budapest. he's the reigning olympic champion in that discipline and is looking good for the tokyo games this summer. britain's james wilby took third with a superb final 50 metres. i've never ever been this fast in season, so, you know, i that's a testament to obviously . the hard work that i'm putting in, but also where i'm at. and, you know, come olympics, | it's the same with me and james. we'll both be tapered, i both be properly prepared.

always coming into a competition like this, it's always a bit - difficult because you know people are going to be taking this- seriously, and there's i nothing wrong with that, but we like to dominate - the olympics, not europeans. and that is all for now. there's more reaction to tonight's fooball on the bbc sport website. but from me and the team for now, goodnight. hello. although the weather will be a little quieter across the uk overall today, in contrast to recent days, it's not settling down properly anytime soon. the end of the week looking very stormy indeed, and that will be thanks to this area of low pressure barreling in on thursday and friday. we've kind of got a weak area of low pressure still with us for today. it's going to feed in a band of more organised showers to the south for first thing. this should clear the south east, though, by the time we get to lunchtime. cloud and some patchy rain drifting south across scotland, and then through the afternoon,

livelier, thundery showers develop, particularly across eastern scotland and the eastern side of england. a few elsewhere towards the west, but generally much drier for wales and the south west and many parts of the midlands than it has been of late. as we move through the overnight period, clear skies and light winds, actually pretty chilly into the small hours of thursday with a risk of a few pockets of ground frost, particularly for central and eastern areas. in the west, the wind will already, though, be starting to pick up, the cloud piling in and this deep area of low pressure starts to make itself felt first thing on thursday. wind and rain into the west, spreading to all areas through the day. yes, there will be some heavy rain, but potentially not as heavy as some of us have seen out of the recent showers. the big issue is likely to be the wind, particularly gusty in areas adjacent to the irish sea, gusting 45—50 mph, strong enough to do some damage and cause some disruption. our temperatures still very

unremarkable for the time of year, at least a couple of degrees below where we'd expect to see them. thursday into friday, the area of low pressure continues its progress across the uk, so another windy day on friday. perhaps a little bit drier towards the far south and to the far north, but overall, plenty of showers still set to swirl around that low. and the biggest headache yet again will be the winds. very strong gusts across southern britain on friday. and still our temperatures, well, we're barely scraping into the mid—teens. for the weekend, it looks like things will become somewhat quieter, certainly on saturday, perhaps some dry weather towards the west. yet more showers, though, on sunday.
