hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster, john stapleton, and kate andrews, who is the economics correspondent at the spectator. very at the spectator. good to have them both with us. let's very good to have them both with us. let's have a look at the front pages starting with the metro warning of a third wave alert — reporting that the end of lockdown three weeks today is on a knife—edge because covid infections could overwhelm hospitals. the guardian adds that scientists are demanding a rethink on the 21 june end to lockdown. the daily telegraph leads on a plea to richer countries to share more covid vaccines with poorer nations to slow the emergence of new variants. the i reports on the failure

of the police to tackle racism by officers — with only 30 officers sacked or resigning in five years despite almost 8,000 complaints to forces across the uk. the financial times writes that the accountancy group ey is to centralise power in a new european executive team, raising concerns among some partners over the financial hit from the wirecard scandal. the independent leads on the surge in european nationals seeking help to stay in the uk as the eu settlement deadline looms. the daily mirror reports on a gene therapy drug that's been given to a baby on the nhs, adding that it could save the lives of hundreds of children. the daily mail urges ministers to curb what it calls the "rip—off" cost of covid tests for holidaymakers. well, plenty for us to get into, let's get started. we will kick off

at the guardian, scientists to mandating a rethink on the easing of lockdown rules. kate, what do you make of it?— make of it? so, this is a plea from the british — make of it? so, this is a plea from the british medical _ make of it? so, this is a plea from the british medical association - make of it? so, this is a plea from the british medical association as| the british medical association as well as other scientists to follow data, not dates, and the suggestion here is that now that we are starting to see an uptick in covid cases can all be average remains extremely low, but the government might want to consider pushing back its so—called freedom day, the 21st ofjune, when, in theory, the floodgates open and we are able to more or less go back to normal. now, there are still outstanding questions around the 21st ofjune from a memory that a lot of the difficult decisions, especially around social distancing and returning to work remain outside of the review in separate discussions. i think the key here, what viewers should be watching out for is what data the minister is the officials are deciding to follow, because if you were to be looking at covid cases, it's very likely that we will

see an increase as we return more freedoms, but if we are following hospitalisations and deaths, and if those numbers don't budge much, but i think there will be a strong case to be made, especially within the conservative party where we know mps are starting to get quite fidgety for reopening of attorney 1st of june as many people are looking forward to that date. june as many people are looking forward to that date.— june as many people are looking forward to that date. john, i dare sa it's forward to that date. john, i dare say it's not _ forward to that date. john, i dare say it's notjust — forward to that date. john, i dare say it's notjust some _ forward to that date. john, i dare say it's notjust some politiciansl say it's notjust some politicians getting fidgety, a lot of people are. they have had a taste of more freedoms than they have had for a long time. how easy do you think it will be to delay even byjust a few weeks? it will be to delay even by 'ust a few weeks? . . , ., will be to delay even by 'ust a few weeks? . ., , ., , weeks? it certainly will not be --oular. weeks? it certainly will not be pepular- that _ weeks? it certainly will not be popular. that is _ weeks? it certainly will not be popular. that is for _ weeks? it certainly will not be popular. that is for sure. - weeks? it certainly will not be popular. that is for sure. fed | weeks? it certainly will not be i popular. that is for sure. fed up with_ popular. that is for sure. fed up with wearing masks, fed up with doing _ with wearing masks, fed up with doing this, — with wearing masks, fed up with doing this, fed up with that. i also sympathise with businesses you know? local businesses, people i talk to around _ local businesses, people i talk to around where livesay this has been hell, _ around where livesay this has been hell. some — around where livesay this has been hell, some of them are haemorrhaging money, _ hell, some of them are haemorrhaging money, they— hell, some of them are haemorrhaging money, they are open, but they are not making — money, they are open, but they are not making any money. they are facing _ not making any money. they are facing real, — not making any money. they are facing real, real hardship and financial— facing real, real hardship and financial problems after the worst year they— financial problems after the worst

because i suppose looking even furtherahead, people because i suppose looking even further ahead, people have to start thinking about how we deal with the fallout of the pandemic and all the restrictions that we have lived through, one of those was the long closure of schools and how to help children catch up? this plan being outlined in the times for a longer school day, extending it by half an hour, on the face of victim it seems logical, but, it is fraught, i suppose with pitfalls and difficulties. sure, this 56 page document that the times has seen would suggest that the school they come as you said, would be extended by half—hour, there will be additional tutoring and funds made available for about four students that following behind. edition two bouts, more training for a significant number of additional teachers. —— falling. this document is still 90% accurate, there may be some small changes to its, but the three teas are key, time, teaching and tutoring. i think extending the school day makes a lot of sense. he know that people have missed out on huge parts of the education during

lockdown whilst many teachers did a fantasticjob lockdown whilst many teachers did a fantastic job with zoom, lockdown whilst many teachers did a fantasticjob with zoom, it's just not a comparison for the classroom. we know about 20,000 students have fallen off the school role altogether, so i think even with this document, the billions of pounds that they plan to put behind catching children up, there are still outstanding questions as to how we help those that were most vulnerable during the pandemic that have disappeared completely. john. have disappeared completely. john, for some parents, _ have disappeared completely. john, for some parents, this _ have disappeared completely. john, for some parents, this will - have disappeared completely. john, for some parents, this will come as music to their ears, they may be saying half an hour, make an hour and a half after having to do home—school tutoring. not music to the ears of students. the cost _ not music to the ears of students. the cost of— not music to the ears of students. the cost of this exercise is £15 billion, — the cost of this exercise is £15 billion, this is england alone, don't — billion, this is england alone, don't forget, £15 billion, the office — don't forget, £15 billion, the office of— don't forget, £15 billion, the office of the report said that is not nearly— office of the report said that is not nearly enough. if it has to be done, _ not nearly enough. if it has to be done, it— not nearly enough. if it has to be done, it has— not nearly enough. if it has to be done, it has to be done. kids have had a _ done, it has to be done. kids have had a rough — done, it has to be done. kids have had a rough time. i have friends of mine _ had a rough time. i have friends of mine who — had a rough time. i have friends of mine who have youngsters, and those in university _ mine who have youngsters, and those in university wireless talking to up the weekend, they have had a rotten year. _ the weekend, they have had a rotten year. they— the weekend, they have had a rotten year, they are very concerned about their future —

to miss it, even if it is because they were not aware of its, certainly puts because they submitted their application and are still waiting for an answer, it was very clear at the start of the brexit negotiation that the uk was going to keep open arms to eu nationals who had come and made a life in the uk for themselves before the brexit decision was made. i think it would be undermining their trust and potentially life ruining for many of these people who consider the uk home if they got kicked out because they were off on their application by a matter of days or weeks. so we can only hope that support will be given to these people, because i think epically commits the right thing to do, there is no reason that they should be uprooted, they have made their homes here. �* , ., ., uprooted, they have made their homes here. �*, ., ., ., here. let's move on, sort of rattlint here. let's move on, sort of rattling through _ here. let's move on, sort of rattling through these, - here. let's move on, sort of. rattling through these, because there's so much to get there from there's so much to get there from the papers are packed with stuff today, john, can you start us on this one from on the mail, and the holiday copan test ripoff. this is something your personal experience ofi something your personal experience 0 ' ., something your personal experience of i would love to give you chapter and verse on _ of i would love to give you chapter and verse on this _ of i would love to give you chapter and verse on this one _ of i would love to give you chapter and verse on this one from - of i would love to give you chapter and verse on this one from i - of i would love to give you chapter and verse on this one from i was l and verse on this one from i was amongst — and verse on this one from i was amongst many football fans who went

that this is legal activity now. we can legally leave the country again. portugal, for example, is on the green list from and yet, it's going to be very expensive just through testing to go. i think it's a reminder that the government would really like people to stay in the country this year, and perhaps they are not so concerned about those costs, but the fact that it is on the front page of the daily mail, that it the front page of the daily mail, thatitis the front page of the daily mail, that it is bringing people's attention to this topic, it will create a sense of unfairness that travel will be so difficult and so pricey for a lot of people who would be able to afford therefore foreign holiday this year but now may not be able to do so. so i suspect this will be getting more attention from aldo, wouldn't be terribly surprised if some in government said, well, we don't want to play with those prices too much, because at the end of the day, we would like more people to take holidays here in the uk this summer than we would like them to get on an aeroplane.— get on an aeroplane. another one, this time on _ get on an aeroplane. another one, this time on the _ get on an aeroplane. another one, this time on the back _ get on an aeroplane. another one, this time on the back pages, - get on an aeroplane. another one, this time on the back pages, from | this time on the back pages, from the daily telegraph, a bombshell, as naomi osaka quits the french open.

osaka has tonight announced via social media that she's withdrawing from the tournament, "so that everyone can get back to focussing on the tennis going on in paris" saying she didn't want to be a distraction. she also said she's suffered long bouts of depression since the us open in 2018 and has had a really hard time coping with that. the japanese four—time major winner continued to say she gets huge waves of anxiety before speaking to the world's media and gets really nervous, and that she's taking time away from the court. meanwhile, on the court british hopesjohanna konta and heather watson have both been knocked out of the tournament on day two at roland garros. konta, the british number 1, who reached the semi finals of this tournament two years ago, was beaten by world number 5a sorana cirstea. it finished 7—6, 6—2 to leave konta with just three wins in 2021 so far, while watson also lost in straight sets earlier to kazakhstan's zarina diyas. bit of history made on monday. we had the first night match

in french open history, but no fans were there sadly, because of the 9pm curfew in paris due to the pandemic — they would have seen serena williams beat romania's irina camelia begu. williams on the hunt for a record—equalling 24th major title. it was a tough first set for the american though — she eventually won the tie—break to go one set up and never looked back as she cruised through the second set, winning 7—6, 6—2 under the lights. defending champion, iga swiatek celebrated her 20th birthday with victory over ka yuvan from slovenia. she's looking to become the first player in ia years to successfully retain the women's title. the polish eighth seed beat her best friend on the tour — 6—love , 7—5. you never know what is going to happen when you are coming out on a court as a defending champion. i have never been in a situation like that, so i am really glad i could handle that pretty well and just play tennis and play a normal match without having it in the back of my mind that i'm defending a title.

in the men's draw, cameron norrie's made a solid start to the french open. the british number two is safely into the second round after a straight—sets win over american bjorn fratangelo. norrie's already made it to two atp finals on clay this season and his good form continued at roland garros. and if he wins his next match he could face the toughest test of them all — the king of clay himself — rafael nadal. meanwhile, playing in his first grand slam match for 16 months. roger federer showed no signs of rust in dismantling denis istomin in straight sets. federer last played at roland garros in 2019 and has suffered from a knee injury over the past year. but he came through comfortably 6—2, 6—4, 6—3. to football, sergio aguero has been officially announced as a barcelona player. the argentinian will leave manchester city at the end of his contract next month, after a brilliant 10 years in the premier league. aguero posed in a barca shirt at the nou camp today. he'lljoin up with his good friend and fellow countryman,

lionel messi at the catalan giants after signing on a two year deal. during his decade with city he scored 260 goals in 390 games, becoming the club's all—time leading goalscorer. winning 15 major trophies in the process. it's been announced that brazil will host the copa america, with less than 2 weeks notice. the change comes after argentina was stripped of the rights to hold the competition late last night because of a surge in covid cases. argentina were originally set to co—host with colombia. but they were removed earlier this month after protests in the country. the south american football confederation say the venues and fixtures are still to be announced. i suspect discussions have been going on for a lot more than the ten or 12 hours since we have known that the cup will not be played in argentina. brazil, of course, is not devoid of conflict regarding this. i mean, just this morning, i have seen all sorts of reactions going through, some quite harsh, some saying fans

are now going to be coffin carriers. there is a lot of disapproval within brazil. but then again, they had that for the world cup and the olympics. they had a lot of home resistance. belgium head coach roberto martinez says midfielder kevin de bruyne doesn't need surgery, despite suffering a fractured nose and eye socket in the champions league final defeat to chelsea. the 29—year—old manchester city player collided with antonio rudiger in the match. de bruyne was named in the belgium squad for euro 2020, with his country's first game onjune12 against russia. martinez is optimistic that de bruyne will be able to play in the tournament. he has a fracture, he doesn't need surgery. if he did need surgery, i think it would have been difficult for him to make it to the championships. the way that he's

reacted, the way that he is treating it, we are feeling confident that we will get a clearer picture over the next seven days. morecambe will be playing league one football next season. the shrimps beat newport county 1—0 in the league 2 play—off final at wembley this afternoon to reach the third tier for the first time in their history. getting there wasn't easy though, they needed this penalty, in the second half of extra time, from carlos mendes gomes to seal it. much to the delight of theirfans in london. ecstasy for morecambe who finished five points in front of newport despite losing to the exiles home and away and that's all the sport for now. from me and the rest of the sport team, bye—bye. hello again. bank holiday monday was the hottest day of the year so far. i would say "no complaints", but may was a complete wash—out — the wettest on record in wales, the fourth wettest for the uk, and it was chilly. 25 celsius we had in kinloch certainly made a welcome change. that warm weather felt by most of us, however, we did have some of that pesky low cloud, the mist and fog

around north sea coasts, and some of that lingered all day in shetland, keeping the temperatures at just ten celsius here. and we have got more of these fog banks to come as we head into tuesday morning. again, shetland, very likely to see some of that, and across eastern england, stretching from norfolk across lincolnshire into yorkshire all the way to probably north yorkshire, you are likely to come across some fog, some low cloud, and even the occasional spot of drizzle. but otherwise, a dry start to the day on tuesday, relatively mild. and for those in the west, probably a glorious start to the day because we have this weather front out to the far west, and some of that cloud will get illuminated. sunshine on through the rest of the day, but we will have some of these fog banks affecting shetland from time to time, but otherwise, i think, many eastern coasts better chance of seeing the sunshine. and it's going to be a bit warmer, 2a—25 celsius more widespread, the warmest places probably getting up to 26 celsius which, again, will make it the warmest day of the year. and, of course, it'sjune, the skies are clear, that's why we have high levels of uv. if you are outside for any length of time, might be worth considering a bit of sun cream.

on into the middle part of the week, we have some changes in the weather picture. this area of low pressure is drifting up from europe bringing with it some thundery showers. they will mainly be across southwestern areas of the country. further northwards and eastwards, it's another sunny and very warm day, in fact, temperatures could go as high as 27 celsius in the very warmest spots, but, perhaps over these north sea coasts, a little bit cooler, given the onshore winds will be strengthening a little bit. so highs of about 17 celsius or so in newcastle. on into thursday's forecast, that area of low pressure continues to push northwards, just bringing the risk of those showers across northern england into scotland. this front really marks the boundary between fresher atlantic air that will be moving in across the uk for many of us from the slightly warmer weather that we still have a across far eastern areas. now, temperatures will be drifting down then for many, but still not bad, 19 celsius, feeling pleasant in cardiff, the highest temperatures, eastern england, up to 2a celsius in norwich.
