there are lots of clearly, there are lots of unanswered questions here that everyone will want to get to the bottom of as quickly as possible. let's turn to different page of the telegraph. interesting to see how this story is received tomorrow morning, just because you have had both doses doesn't mean we are out of the woods entirely, john. no, this is an interesting story. it is from. _ no, this is an interesting story. it is from, seems to be well sourced from _ is from, seems to be well sourced from government discussions about what can_ from government discussions about what can be opened up on the 21st of june _ what can be opened up on the 21st of june. the _ what can be opened up on the 21st of june. the suggestion is that after the 21st_ june. the suggestion is that after the 21stof— june. the suggestion is that after the 21st ofjune, you will still have — the 21st ofjune, you will still have to — the 21st ofjune, you will still have to isolate if you come into contact — have to isolate if you come into contact with someone who has covid, even if_ contact with someone who has covid, even if you _ contact with someone who has covid, even if you have both doses of the vaccine, _ even if you have both doses of the vaccine, which is me, for one. whereas, _ vaccine, which is me, for one. whereas, in_ vaccine, which is me, for one. whereas, in america, if you have the double. _ whereas, in america, if you have the double. it— whereas, in america, if you have the double. if you — whereas, in america, if you have the double, if you are double vaccinated, you are allowed to hug people. _ vaccinated, you are allowed to hug people, you are allowed to do, more or less. _ people, you are allowed to do, more or less. what — people, you are allowed to do, more or less, what you like. i'm surprised, _ or less, what you like. i'm surprised, i mean, this seems to be overcautious — surprised, i mean, this seems to be overcautious to me, i must say.

lucy, — overcautious to me, i must say. lucy, does— overcautious to me, i must say. lucy, does it — overcautious to me, i must say. lucy, does it explain why that's being suggested? we lucy, does it explain why that's being suggested?— lucy, does it explain why that's being suggested? we know that the social distancing _ being suggested? we know that the social distancing review _ being suggested? we know that the social distancing review is _ being suggested? we know that the social distancing review is likely - social distancing review is likely to come out, the results of that next week, and that is likely to see things like the one metre rule scrapped, borisjohnson told mps last week that he is hopeful of that being the case, but so far, the government is still planning to keep this very cautious regime in place that if people have been in contact with someone who is a confirmed case, that even if they have been vaccinated, they will have to isolate for ten days. i think it could have quite a serious impact on how society is able to get back to normal. it could be a real deterrent for people wanting to go into town centres, attend events, you know, hospitality venues and really feel confident that they can go about their lives if there is always the risk that they could find themselves confined to their homes for ten days, even though there are very little risks of severe illness or
10:47 pm
hospitalisation because they have had their vaccine. the other rest, of course, is for businesses, offices in particular, they may not want to have all their staff back in if, again, there is that risk of employees being sent home ifjust one of them is found to have tested positive for covid but has been in close contact with others. so, i think this is not the last we will hear of this. i think there will be lots of mps pointing out some of the disparities, including between this suggestion and the fact that when you come back, some of the travelling abroad, the test and release system allows you to take tests after a period that means you don't have to isolate for quite as long as ten days. so i think this could be revisited. it long as ten days. so i think this could be revisited.— could be revisited. it will be interesting _ could be revisited. it will be interesting to _ could be revisited. it will be interesting to see, - could be revisited. it will be interesting to see, want - could be revisited. it will be| interesting to see, want to? could be revisited. it will be - interesting to see, want to? let's turn to our final paper. we have already discussed it, but let's wrap up already discussed it, but let's wrap up this particular story, the revenge of dominic cummings is how it's being headlined, john? weill.

10:49 pm
in advance of this appearance that he is willing to share communication and documentation he has two back—up some of his assertions. so far, he has made the claim of the government wasn't pursuing a herd immunity strategy at the beginning of the pandemic, plenty of cabinet ministers have come out and categorically denied that. so it remains to be seen exactly what is god in his back pocket to show that his word is right. it’s god in his back pocket to show that his word is right.— his word is right. it's 20 comes with them _ his word is right. it's 20 comes with them as — his word is right. it's 20 comes with them as you _ his word is right. it's 20 comes with them as you said, - his word is right. it's 20 comes with them as you said, the - his word is right. it's 20 comes - with them as you said, the evidence, the documents, bots, there is always going to be the question of credibility and how he is perceived in front of the british public. we are going to probably look at the story again in our next addition at 11:30pm. but for now, we will leave it there. john and lucy will be back at 11.30 to take another look at the stories making tomorrow's front pages. goodbye for now. thank you. thanks forjoining us for the papers. i will be with you again at the top of the art of plenty more news, but for now, cheerio.

good evening. i'm gavin ramjaun — and this is the latest from the bbc sport centre. it comes as no surprise, but emma hayes has been named women's super league manager of the season for the second year in a row. the chelsea boss led the side in a historic campaign, with the blues winning back—to—back wsl titles, the league cup and reaching their first ever champions league final. chelsea striker fran kirby has also been named player of the season — she netted 16 goals in 18 appearences. hayes also became the first manager from the women's game to be amongst the top six contenders for the league managers association manager of the year award. and that award was won by manchester city boss pep guardiola — the spaniard being voted for by his fellow managers. it comes after city lifted the premier league trophy — his third league title with the club in four years. marcelo bielsa, david moyes, brendan rodgers and daniel farke were also shortlisted.
10:51 pm
and city will be hoping to add more silverware to their collection this weekend, when they turn their attention to the champions league final. phil foden has been one of their standout players this season. the 20—year—old has scored 16 goals in all competitions and made ten assists. with the final against chelsea just five days away, foden's been speaking to our sports editor dan roan. i would've never thought that it would've happened so quickly. you know, i would always laugh and joke with my mates about playing in the champions league final, i never thought that i would be playing in one. so, so, yeah, it's all gone so quick, and ijust want to enjoy one. so, so, yeah, it's all gone so quick, and i just want to enjoy the occasion as much as i can because you never know if you are going to get another opportunity. iuntimely you never know if you are going to get another opportunity. when you think about it, _ get another opportunity. when you think about it, you _ get another opportunity. when you think about it, you are _ get another opportunity. when you think about it, you are only - get another opportunity. when you think about it, you are only 20-21 i think about it, you are only 20—21 this week, but given your age, the players that you play alongside and “p players that you play alongside and up against and given the fact that you are a local lad, does it sometimes takes some believing? because if you like a dream sometimes?— because if you like a dream sometimes? , , ., , because if you like a dream sometimes? , , ., sometimes? definitely, always. most ofthe sometimes? definitely, always. most of the time it— sometimes? definitely, always. most of the time it feels _ sometimes? definitely, always. most

10:54 pm
wales forward hal robson kanu was left out of their training camp in portugal. with their final squad to be announced on sunday, it's looking like he won't make the cut. he was one of the stars of their run to the semifinals at euro 2016, scoring in their quarterfinal win over belgium. and spain have left out captain sergio ramos from their squad. the real madrid centre—back, who is 35, has played 180 times for spain but has been struggling with injury and has only played once since march. his absence means that, surprisingly, no players from real have been picked by head coach luis enrique. egan bernal, the colombian riding for the british ineos grenadiers team, has strengthened his grip on the giro d'italia. he won stage 16 and now leads by two minutes 2a seconds. it was a bad day for simon yates. the british rider slipped from second overall to fifth, after losing over two and a half minutes. bernal attacked the field, on a stage shortened due to bad weather in the italian mountains, and rode away to win the stage. britain's hugh carthy finished fifth today, so he's now up to third place
10:55 pm
overall, three minutes a0 behind bernal. and max moseley, the man credited with improving driver safety in formula one has died at the age of 81. he ran the sport's governing body the fia for 16 years, serving as president and oversaw several safety reforms following the death of ayrton senna in 1994. he raced in his youth, and founded a car maunfacturing company before moving into formula one. former chief executive bernie eccelstone said it was like losing a brother. team gb have announced the men's gymnastics team for this summer's 0lympics, which will be led by max whitlock he heads to his third games after being confirmed in the four man team — he scopped double gold in rio, and is the most experienced member, with world championjoe fraser, giarnni regini—moran and james hall also included. and that's all the sport for now.
10:56 pm
hello. we know may has been wet, and now with less than a week to go, the met office says provisional figures indicate that wales, despite all of the sunshine to end monday, has had its widest may on record — those records going back to 1862. wales will have a drier tuesday, but depending on where you are, there will be further heavy showers to dodge because low pressure, although it's moving into the north sea, is still close enough to produce some of those showers. now, there are weather changes on the horizon and we'll look at those in just a moment. this is how we're starting off tuesday morning. a lot of cloud across scotland, northern england, through north wales, the midlands and on towards east anglia, where you could be encountering some patchy rain to begin with. elsewhere, a few sunny spells. the cloudy zone will brighten up, but this is where we're going to see some of those heavy and possibly thundery showers, with the risk of hail during the day. quieter weather through much of wales, the midlands, into southeast england, bar the odd shower, and largely dry in northern ireland. but cornwall and devon clouding over
10:57 pm
with outbreaks of rain moving in. it'll be fairly breezy out there and temperatures for the most part in the range of 12 to 16 celsius. tuesday evening brings some of the heavier showers in towards the midlands and east anglia before the day is done. the rain clears away the far southwest of england, further outbreaks of rain pushing in towards southeast scotland and northeast england. and wednesday starts where you're clear on a chillier note, some spots down into low single figures. and on wednesday, there will be a few sunny spells around, but much of the east of the uk will be cloudy, and you could well see some outbreaks of rain turning increasingly light and patchy as the day goes on. but through parts of scotland and again northern england, through the afternoon, there could be heavy and thundery showers getting going. where you get the sunshine, though, it is going to be a little warmer. still quite chilly as thursday begins under largely clear skies. now, there will be a weather system trying to approach from the west. some uncertainty about how far it's going to get in during daylight hours, but it could well bring some cloud and rain into at least parts of northern ireland. but where you stay dry, with sunny spells, it'll be
10:58 pm
a touch warmer still. that weather front to the west willjust die a death and we're left withjust building high pressure going into the weekend, and that is going to bring rather more settled weather then we've had of late. not completely dry. there may be a weather system approaching from the west later on bank holiday monday. but for most of us, it is looking this weekend drier and warmer.
