11:31 pm
hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are are sian griffiths, the education editor of the sunday times, and political commentator james millar. the telegraph leads with the news that the prime minister has married his fiancee carrie symonds this morning at westminster cathedral. number ten has declined to confirm the news. the independent leads with the news brentford football club has been promoted to the premier league after ten years of being in the play off. it also reports scientists warn travellers may import variants of coronavirus when returning to the uk. the sunday times leads with the origins of covid—19. it says british spies say a lab leak from wuhan in china was feasible. the daily mail leads with the news

of the prime minister's wedding. it quotes a guest who said he couldn't take his eyes of the bride who is reported to h ave worn a white dress. the sunday mirror also reports on the prime minister's wedding. refering to the event as a whitewash. so let's begin, good evening to you both, sian and james. a brand—new story in most of the papers today, pm marries carrie in secret ceremony, declares the sunday telegraph. i think all the papers are scrambling to get the story on two different page, came and quietly today. and everybody loves the wedding and this is certainly quite
11:33 pm
a wedding. they have been going to town on the details and a white dress, forces in a very dapper suit and they look very besotted with each other. senior aides were kept in the dark about the wedding and invitations only set about six days ago. and they're trying to keep the data clear. under the current covid—19 restrictions, you can only have 30 guests available at a wedding. it's not clear whether or not they had been at westminster cathedral and had a few less met, but we will have pictures on the website of different guests in boris johnson father standing around looking very smart as well this morning. yes. and the semester because who doesn't like a wedding it's also quite historic because he is the first prime minister to marry in office for more than 200 years. so, yeah, and this is a bit of a

11:38 pm
was no mention of a need to test them but as you say, this is got to be hand—picked somewhat further. sean, can't ta ke take it to the people which also has —— can i take you to the sunday people which is common for mr hancock to go? it people which is common for mr hancock to go?— people which is common for mr hancock to go? it is a big headline sa in: hancock to go? it is a big headline saying that — hancock to go? it is a big headline saying that he _ hancock to go? it is a big headline saying that he must _ hancock to go? it is a big headline saying that he must go _ hancock to go? it is a big headline saying that he must go now- hancock to go? it is a big headline saying that he must go now and i hancock to go? it is a big headline l saying that he must go now and that the front page really brings it right back to the human tragedy, which is at the heart of this because it has a picture on the front page of a care home resident who died aged 94 from covid—i9 and the sunday people are saying that matt hancock promised to protect care homes but this failure to test elderly people who have been discharged from hospital have turned out to be infected with covid—i9 and came to the care homes and of
11:39 pm
course, it spread like wildfire and thousands of people died as a result and i don't think the story is going away. it may not be the lead story in all the sunday papers at the moment, but they're going to be legal cases about this and i think the families and i think some the care home bosses are determined that this is not going tojust care home bosses are determined that this is not going to just disappear and that they want answers and i think they want people to be held accountable.— accountable. such a tragic story, eseciall accountable. such a tragic story, especially focus _ accountable. such a tragic story, especially focus on _ accountable. such a tragic story, especially focus on individuals i accountable. such a tragic story, j especially focus on individuals as the sunday people has. punk click health public health in england. it might�*ve also been because care home workers from site from site to site and spreading the coronavirus and that may have been the reason for the rise but nobody seems to be disputing the fact that there was a real problem in care homes.

11:42 pm
beat on education. parents preparing for legal action over a levels. . this is a story really building because sending exams people are trying to get their a—level qualifications the summer and have not had any tests at all. we have had exams cancelled for a second year in a row because of the pandemic and some schools have been sending these tests and they're going to use them as the basis for children to get marks and creates the summer and teachers are going to assess children instead of using exam scores as it normally has and i think with parents and teachers and children are worried about is, all the schools are using different methods for assessing children's performance and if everyone is using a different method, how can you be sure that these methods are fair, that they're kind of, you know,
11:43 pm
children are being measured on a level playing field? and even in advance of the results coming out this summer, some parents have already contacted lawyers and said look, we're worried about this, what could we do if child does not get the results that expect or deserve and we do also know that there is in—built bias and teacher assessment, there's quite a lot of research that shows they tend to favour girls over boys. it's only a very slight difference, but it is a difference and children special education needs are sometimes marked down when teachers are assessing work. so, there is a lot of worry and anxiety around and i think it's just a very interesting front—page story from the observer. such just a very interesting front-page story from the observer.- such a stressful time. james, the store we've been talking about all evening. chelsea crowned the champions. did you watch the match?
