this is bbc news, the headlines... president biden has urged the us congress to pass a policing reform bill quickly, in memory of george floyd. he met mr floyd's relatives at a private meeting at the white house, exactly a year after he was killed by a white policeman. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, says he's held a productive day of meetings with israeli and palestinian leaders — and that both sides recognised the need to address the roots of their conflict. the white house has confirmed that belarus will be one of the topics up for discussion when president biden meets president putin next month in geneva. it will be the first time the two presidents have met sincejoe biden was elected. hong kong has warned it could have to throw away vast stores of coronavirus vaccines because of people's reluctance to have a jab. the slow take—up rate has been blamed on a relatively low number of infections and distrust of the government.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are thejournalist and broadcaster, daisy mcandrew and the political commentator, lance price. welcome lance price. back to both of you. let's take a look at some of tomorrow's front pages already in, starting with the daily telegraph — the paper highlights the outrage of some local authority leaders in the north of england as they threatened to defy new coronavirus advice in areas affected by the indian variant. the i leads on this too as it says number ten has u—turned on the new regional pandemic rules. the guardian reports that ministers were forced to climb down after a day of mounting confusion as millions of people were left wondering whether they needed to cancel their bank holiday plans. the times remains positive as it

teases ahead to two big weeks of vaccinations, they say all over 30's will be offered to book their jabs from tomorrow. and the metro leads with retaliation by european airlines to what they describe as the "state—sponsored hijacking" of roman protasevich�*s ryanair flight by the president of belarus, alexander lu kashanko. and the mirror leads with a critical assessment of the prime minister with its headline "out of touch" and "out of control" over claims the pm initially supported the idea of a european super league and also over comments dominic cummings says the pm made about covid. just mention, the metro there which has that very striking front—page picture of alexander lukashenko under the headline. i know we will

come back to that one, i'm pretty certain, let's talk now to daisy and lance. i will let you kick off this time. accidental lockdown. it’s lance. i will let you kick off this time. accidental lockdown. it's been one of those — time. accidental lockdown. it's been one of those days _ time. accidental lockdown. it's been one of those days where _ time. accidental lockdown. it's been one of those days where i _ time. accidental lockdown. it's been one of those days where i think - time. accidental lockdown. it's been one of those days where i think anyl one of those days where i think any of us, as myself has and lance, who has ever worked trying to do party political comes will thank their lucky stars that we no longer have to do that job lucky stars that we no longer have to do thatjob because it has been an absolute mess. many newspapers saying it is the first, and they don't think that's unkind. as you have already said this morning it was you can't go to the certain areas, eight areas, then it was a u—turn and now it's even more of a u—turn, saying that once those areas had really kicked up a massive sting, not only were the public health officials saying they were not properly informed of this and the government saying, yes, you were, we sent you some posters, and then pointed to a

website which had snuck out this announcement last friday only now doing a u—turn, and it is an absolute mess. no other word for it. we can all sort of shrugged our shoulders and say, welcome our mistakes are made, and i'm sure it was a mistake rather than a conspiracy, but at this time when we arejust conspiracy, but at this time when we are just looking conspiracy, but at this time when we arejust looking for conspiracy, but at this time when we are just looking for clarity, doesn't really matter what the initial problem was when you seem to have chaos like this with the messaging, it makes the rest of us say, well, what are we meant to do? does the government know what it's doing? is the government being transparent and honest with the data and information, and the suspicion, because a lot of these areas are labour run areas as that they are somehow being punished, and whether or not that is true, that's not a good look to be coming out of number ten. . . �* , good look to be coming out of number ten. . . �*, ., ., ., , ten. lance, let's follow that up with a bit _ ten. lance, let's follow that up with a bit of— ten. lance, let's follow that up with a bit of more _ ten. lance, let's follow that up with a bit of more positive - ten. lance, let's follow that up i with a bit of more positive news. this is from the front of the daily express, proof, its claims, that we need to open up. express, proof, its claims, that we need to open unm— need to open up. yes, so it is ”ointin need to open up. yes, so it is pointing to — need to open up. yes, so it is pointing to some _ need to open up. yes, so it is pointing to some of— need to open up. yes, so it is pointing to some of the - need to open up. yes, so it is| pointing to some of the events need to open up. yes, so it is - pointing to some of the events that have taken— pointing to some of the events that have taken place, 40 events and cultural — have taken place, 40 events and cultural events and the number of cases_ cultural events and the number of cases reported as a result of those

bits, the out of touch, boris gave super league but not, and us is her story, now she is following on from what has been rumbling about debate did he, didn't he, borisjohnson give the nod to the super league, and we saw that huge backlash there, such a huge backlash that the super league was unable to go ahead. the story that she has written is that ed woodward, the ceo of manchester united met the number ten chief of staff, dan rosenfield and we knew that meeting happens, but we were told it was about covid passports for football stadiums and football games, but, the ramblings have been going on that, actually come at that meeting, rosenfield and woodward, woodward is obviously rosenfield is a huge lifelong manchester united fan. so really, you can see they are coming from the same side of the pitch, if you like. the suspicion, and we know also, we have pretty

much have it confirmed that on his way out of that meeting, woodward did get to say hello to the prime minister. woodward continues to claim that he was pretty much given the nod that number ten, and therefore the prime minister was going to knotted through was in favour of the super elite. that has been denied until they were blue in the face, but of course we saw boris johnson totally condemning the idea of the super league, but kind of once its head hit the fan. i think this is the kind of story that really could damage them significantly. woodward resigns after that. we are told that rosenfield is also on the way out, is very, very disgruntled at number ten. alex, who writes for the mail, is rosenfield's father—in—law and was pretty much the only fleet street figure to put his head above the poppet and say that he was a massive fan of the super league. i think there is a lot more to this,

and i think it might cause a lot of problems. and i think it might cause a lot of roblems. �* and i think it might cause a lot of roblems. . , ., and i think it might cause a lot of problems— and i think it might cause a lot of roblems. . , ., _ problems. are you intrigued by the? of course the _ problems. are you intrigued by the? of course the former— problems. are you intrigued by the? of course the former city _ problems. are you intrigued by the? of course the former city former - of course the former city former hall correspondence for the evening standard. so she has followed boris johnson's political career for a very long time. johnson's political career for a very long time-— johnson's political career for a very long time. johnson's political career for a ve lona time. , ,, ., very long time. yes, i think what it tells us or— very long time. yes, i think what it tells us or certainly _ very long time. yes, i think what it tells us or certainly suggests - very long time. yes, i think what it tells us or certainly suggests is - tells us or certainly suggests is not only— tells us or certainly suggests is not only dysfunction at the heart of downing _ not only dysfunction at the heart of downing street. if downing street only works well when everyone is working _ only works well when everyone is working together as a team, and there _ working together as a team, and there is— working together as a team, and there is some strategic centre, and that strategic grip has got to come from the _ that strategic grip has got to come from the top, and that means from the prime — from the top, and that means from the prime minister. some prime minister— the prime minister. some prime minister us can do that, others cannot — minister us can do that, others cannot it _ minister us can do that, others cannot. it does seem to be a problem with boris— cannot. it does seem to be a problem with borisjohnson that he is a bit fiighty. _ with borisjohnson that he is a bit flighty, that he will say things to people _ flighty, that he will say things to people in— flighty, that he will say things to people in meetings without really thinking _ people in meetings without really thinking them through, or people will leave — thinking them through, or people will leave meetings with him with one impression and others have been given— one impression and others have been given a _ one impression and others have been given a completely opposite impression. i given a completely opposite impression-— given a completely opposite impression. given a completely opposite imression. . . ., impression. i have heard that said about other _ impression. i have heard that said about other ministers _ impression. i have heard that said about other ministers in _ impression. i have heard that said about other ministers in the - impression. i have heard that said about other ministers in the past. | about other ministers in the past. it is a bit of pleasing your

spokespeople were saying they wanted to be, as we know, president biden has lost many members of his family, he is all too familiar with morning and lost, but not in these circumstances, of course, but his message was, ifeel your circumstances, of course, but his message was, i feel your pain, circumstances, of course, but his message was, ifeel your pain, i understand your pain, i'm going to do something about this. please leave it with me. of course, he doesn't have a huge amount of time to really prove out. he has had the support of president obama today coming to his support and saying change will happen, but as i said, they don't have an awful lot of time to convince a large section of the american public that change really well happen. american public that change really well happen-— well happen. going to another strikin: well happen. going to another striking photograph. _ well happen. going to another striking photograph. this - well happen. going to another striking photograph. this is i well happen. going to another| striking photograph. this is the front of the telegraph, almost a renaissance phase and a tremendous head of hair, this is tim parker, who is or, i suppose now was chairman of the board of trustees at the national trust. the question of

russians. this is what the story is about. london has been too close to about. london has been too close to a lot of russian oligarchs in the conservative party has is well. there is one problem with this particular story because the russian that this is really aimed at is actually very close to a former conservative mp. so rishi sunak egg is looking to block out companies from listing on the london stock exchange and really with concerns about dirty money. specifically, there have been concerns about a certain russian called oleg derek pascoe who has very close connections to president putin. americans already put sanctions on him. many people have been calling for him and people like him to be stripped of the ability to float on the stock exchange. the problem is that his chairman is greg barker, now member of the house of lords and a lot of people have said that that is an uncomfortable for a

conservative mp. those relationships are comfortable. it's not on the conservatives that are a bit too cosy for some people's likings to a lot of these very rich russians. in fact, peter manson has also been involved with this, his organisation from his company has been involved, and many people have been saying it is time to clean london up. as whole mafia, london grad, moscow on thames accusations, it's all too closely, buts, of course, many people, as you said, we need all the money we can get at the moment, and there are those in the city who make huge amounts of money from these relationships, whether they are lawyers, accountants, stock movers and shakers who don't want to see these things brought in line. but i think it is pretty brave of the treasury. i think it is pretty brave of the treasury-— think it is pretty brave of the treasu . ., ., , , ., ., treasury. i want to pick up on that with lance. _ treasury. i want to pick up on that with lance, there _ treasury. i want to pick up on that with lance, there is _ treasury. i want to pick up on that with lance, there is no _ treasury. i want to pick up on thatj with lance, there is no suggestion in this trailer otherwise but either

lord barker or lloydminster and had been involved in any improper relationship with this company and the company itself is listed, not listed on the london stock exchange, as i understand it, but the more general point about this, daisy used the word brave, usually when that phrase is used by ministers, that's a brave proposal, minister, it's usually... do you think he's being brave? i think he is in danger in getting into some — i think he is in danger in getting into some quite difficult territory because — into some quite difficult territory because it may be completely legitimate, and daisy is right that there _ legitimate, and daisy is right that there has— legitimate, and daisy is right that there has been a lot of dirty money floating _ there has been a lot of dirty money floating around, notjust london, but in _ floating around, notjust london, but in the — floating around, notjust london, but in the uk financial system. but if you're _ but in the uk financial system. but if you're going to start saying that companies — if you're going to start saying that companies cannot be listed on the stock— companies cannot be listed on the stock exchange because they have dirty money in that respect, what happens — dirty money in that respect, what happens when people say that companies that are fundamentally

think it's fair to say we have done it a few times on the paper review already, developing quite a knack out to grab the front pages that actually distil a story quite well. yes, it does. but i was surprised to see it _ yes, it does. but i was surprised to see it as— yes, it does. but i was surprised to see it as the — yes, it does. but i was surprised to see it as the headline, because the metro— see it as the headline, because the metro is— see it as the headline, because the metro is a — see it as the headline, because the metro is a pretty popular newspaper, probably— metro is a pretty popular newspaper, probably the best read newspaper in the country, not least because it is free. _ the country, not least because it is free. but. — the country, not least because it is free, but, you know, with the government prices that we already talked _ government prices that we already talked about over covid restrictions going _ talked about over covid restrictions going on— talked about over covid restrictions going on and all the other stories that are — going on and all the other stories that are around, i suspect that if somebody— that are around, i suspect that if somebody came up with this headline, they thought, we have got to put that on— they thought, we have got to put that on the front page, the story was the — that on the front page, the story was the most important one, bites, that alone. — was the most important one, bites, that alone, as i say, doesn't normally— that alone, as i say, doesn't normally make it onto the front page of the _ normally make it onto the front page of the metro. normally make it onto the front page of the metro-— of the metro. maybe it's got something _ of the metro. maybe it's got something to _ of the metro. maybe it's got something to do _ of the metro. maybe it's got something to do with - of the metro. maybe it's got| something to do with budget of the metro. maybe it's got - something to do with budget flights being diverted that gives it a sort of even more popular appeal at the time when people are thinking about some holidays, or indeed half term

holidays. i do wonder if the story might actually be breaking through to most people more than some headline writers or some newspaper editors think because the story is so shocking that a ryanair flight could be brought down by fighter jets that this activist is now, there is a suggestion that he might�*ve been tortured, he has a bruised face that might've been tortured, he has a bruised face— might've been tortured, he has a bruised face . ., ., , , bruised face that that could happen on orion airflight _ bruised face that that could happen on orion airflight i _ bruised face that that could happen on orion airflight i think _ bruised face that that could happen on orion airflight i think actually i on orion airflight i think actually might be a bigger story than a lot of the other newspapers think it is. this actually is something that people think, gosh, that could've been me on that flight, 90 is the activist, but me sitting next to him, and that really is pretty scary. i do like the point that they make that belarus is losing a lot of money because obvious other airlines are refusing to fly over it and therefore give it their fees. but i hope that it is a story that continues to be reported because i think it is an important one stoplight daisy, lance, thank you both very much. i can say about the metro

there are 4 right—backs in there, including liverpool's trent alexander—arnold, and there are 3 teenagers as well — 17—year—old borussia dortmund midfielderjude bellingham, arsenal's bukayo saka and manchester united forward mason greenwood, who are both 19. notable omissions include tottenham defender eric dier and leicester playmakerjames maddison. southgate's been telling our sports editor dan roan he's got some big decisions ahead. of the 33 names, we still have 12 to play in the european finals. we had two big injuries last weekend, so there's the risk of that. we've got four players who are either injured currently or returning from injury. and although we've had good communication medically, we're still a little bit in the dark of the full picture of those guys, so we can see them with our own eyes, see them on the training pitch. how important is it that your team takes advantage of this wonderful opportunity in terms of what is effectively home advantage? if you go all the way, all but one

matches will be at wembley. it's a great thrill for us to play at wembley with fans back at the stadium. that something the whole country are looking forward to, i think, so we recognise there's a part for us to play in getting our country back in its feet. the vaccination programme appears to be successful, which is brilliant for everybody. we hope we can bring some enjoyment and entertainment to people. after the euros, hansi flick will be taking over as the new germany manager. he'll replacejoachim loew, who he served as an assistant for 8 years, winning the world cup together in 2014. loew is stepping down after this summer's tournament, while flick left his role as head coach at bayern munich last week. manchester united play villarreal in the europa league final tomorrow evening in gdansk. united skipper harry maguire is a doubt for the match tomorrow with ankle ligament damage —

former england defender ashley cole believes their stance can help the next generation. these young aspiring young black players now, you know, they have been given a great platform, you know? it's all down to players like sterling and mark is having ——it�*s all down to players like sterling and marcus having the confidence to come out and dress them situations, because maybe, you know, in my younger age, i probably didn't come out and address it, but now, yeah, so, you are thankful that there are people like sterling and marcus who has paved the way for the next generation. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. the bank holiday weekend is fast approaching, and we could all do with something a little more settled, couldn't we, to make outdoor plans. well, i can offer you certainly some drier weather over the next few days and into the weekend, and it will be warmer, too. now, just how warm, take a look at this.

with the wind direction coming up from the south by the weekend, we could see temperatures peaking into the low 20s, and we've only seen that once so far this may. so, that's something to look forward to. during wednesday, however, this weather front will enhance some showers coming out of eastern scotland during the morning and sinking their way steadily south across north east england, down through the pennines, maybe into the east midlands, although weakening somewhat. behind, we could see a few scattered, sharp showers developing. one or two odd rumbles of thunder, as well, into scotland. the best of the sunshine across wales, central and south west england, but the wind direction coming from the north, so a cool source. that means that temperatures still on the disappointing side. 12—14 degrees into the north. we could see 16—18 across parts of england and wales. so, moving towards thursday, a relatively dry start with some early morning sunshine. conditions will cloud over a little into the afternoon, but a ridge of high pressure is building keeping

things largely quiet. winds light, and as a result, temperatures will be a degree or so higher, 18—19 degrees. there is a weather front for the start of friday. it's pushing in from the west, but it's a very weak affair. as it bumps into that high pressure, it will die away. so, there is the potential on friday of some light patchy rain perhaps into northern ireland, western fringes of scotland, the isle of man, let's say. and it will be quite cloudy, misty, murky, patchy mist and fog to higher ground here. but the best chance of seeing that cloud breaking up perhaps the south east, east anglia, and temperatures will respond with highs of 20 degrees. that's going to feel very pleasant indeed. so, if you are thinking about heading to the coast for the bank holiday weekend, i don't think you'll be too disappointed. we can't rule out the risk of a few showers up into the north, but generally it'll be fine and warm. if you want something just that little bit warmer and you don't want to head towards the coast, stay inland. again, temperatures are likely to peak into the low 20s, very nice indeed. and after the miserable month of may, that will certainly be welcome news.
