is at a perilous point in the covid pandemic. they want rich countries to share their vaccines and are calling for a 50 billion dollar investement. the uk has just recorded zero deaths for the first time since march last year. it comes as some public health officials call on the government to delay the total lifting of restrictions onjune 21st. the organisers of the grand slam tennis tournaments have promised to address players�* concerns about mental health. it comes after naomi osaka's withdrawal from the french open after refusing to speak to the media. and president biden has been visiting the city of tulsa in oklahoma to mark a century since a white mob attacked a black district — killing as many as 300 people.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejenny kleeman, the times radio presenter, and henry zeffman, who's chief political correspondent at the times. tomorrow's front pages starting with... the telegraph reports on the mounting pressure borisjohnson is under to push ahead with lifting the remaining covid restrictions on june 21. the metro leads on the news that today was the uk's first day without a single death from covid since the start of the pandemic 15 months ago. the daily mail says the landmark day is being seen by many as �*dramatic proof�* of the success of britain's vaccination programme. the times also hails the milestone — but warns that the fatalities figure

may nudge upwards in the coming weeks — especially because of reporting delays over the bank holiday weekend. the daily express adds that it's renewed hopes that all restrictions will still be lifted on what it calls �*freedom day�* — june 21. the guardian reports that the government�*s tuition catch—up plan for pupils is inadequate — and that the £1.11 billion programme won�*t be enough to make up for the lost learning in lockdown. the independent adds that teachers say the funding falls short of what�*s needed to make up for two years of disrupted education. so let�*s begin... henry this time. let�*s kick off with the mirror. one of the paper is that has come in since we had ourfirst paper review. zero covid death in the uk, proof it says that vaccine

is doing hisjob and illustrated in by some but he was clearly younger than the target age getting their firstjab at this big open vaccination operation that was at twickenham stadium over the weekend. yes. it is an amazing symbol of progress — yes. it is an amazing symbol of progress. when you compare to how dire the _ progress. when you compare to how dire the situation was in the uk 'ust dire the situation was in the uk just a _ dire the situation was in the uk just a few— dire the situation was in the uk just a few short months ago early this year— just a few short months ago early this year when everybody was locked down, _ this year when everybody was locked down, and _ this year when everybody was locked down, and the death numbers were really— down, and the death numbers were really alarming and it seemed like they would never stop rising. so to register— they would never stop rising. so to register zero deaths is huge. but it comes_ register zero deaths is huge. but it comes with — register zero deaths is huge. but it comes with caveats and really important ones. the first is that we probably— important ones. the first is that we probably think that as some of the delays _ probably think that as some of the delays in _ probably think that as some of the delays in reporting and fact—finding and figure — delays in reporting and fact—finding and figure tallying, over a bank holiday— and figure tallying, over a bank holiday weekend started to work their way— holiday weekend started to work their way out to the system, and may well their way out to the system, and may welt turh _ their way out to the system, and may welt turn out — their way out to the system, and may well turn out that some people that affect _ well turn out that some people that affect die _

well turn out that some people that affect die within 28 days of a positive _ affect die within 28 days of a positive covid test today. the other caveat _ positive covid test today. the other caveat is _ positive covid test today. the other caveat is that if you use that statistic. _ caveat is that if you use that statistic, that measure of how we are looking — statistic, that measure of how we are looking at covid test now, there was in _ are looking at covid test now, there was in fact— are looking at covid test now, there was in fact today last july when a zero deaths were also recorded. but look, _ zero deaths were also recorded. but took. this— zero deaths were also recorded. but took. this is— zero deaths were also recorded. but look, this is a huge symbol, we should — look, this is a huge symbol, we should not— look, this is a huge symbol, we should not lose sight of that and i think— should not lose sight of that and i think people who have put their lives _ think people who have put their lives on — think people who have put their lives on hold for so long as so many differeht_ lives on hold for so long as so many different ways can rightly feel a sense _ different ways can rightly feel a sense of— different ways can rightly feel a sense of relief that things are on the right— sense of relief that things are on the right path, but there are still difficult — the right path, but there are still difficult decisions ahead, and i think— difficult decisions ahead, and i think a — difficult decisions ahead, and i think a lot of people will want to be cautious, that people don't take one day— be cautious, that people don't take one day of— be cautious, that people don't take one day of zero deaths as a sign this is— one day of zero deaths as a sign this is att— one day of zero deaths as a sign this is all over because it is not quite _ this is all over because it is not quite vet — this is all over because it is not quite yet-— this is all over because it is not uuite et. , , ., quite yet. somebody called henry and some colleagues _ quite yet. somebody called henry and some colleagues have _ quite yet. somebody called henry and some colleagues have rented - quite yet. somebody called henry and some colleagues have rented a - quite yet. somebody called henry and some colleagues have rented a front i some colleagues have rented a front page. big banner. hope forjune 21.

henry seems to have written a lot of the stories on the front page of the times today. laughter. the mirror cover that we looked at it is probably the element of the front pages today to cast this zero, very symbolic but not entirely meaningful zero number and a cautious lights, they have spoken to express to say it would be a bad decision to go with freedom day being the 21st of june as planned, all the other papers have quoted people and not just backbenchers who have always wanted to lift restrictions as quickly as possible, graham brady, is not surprising there are pushing for that. there spoken to tim spectre, who is behind the kings tracking app who says all the new cases at the moment are among of the 50s that are being vaccinated in on this piece is very much in support of matt hancock today that shows

that vaccine is working. the thing is, while this is an fantastic, we all need to be aware ofjust how terrible it was when we went back into locked injanuary terrible it was when we went back into locked in january and terrible it was when we went back into locked injanuary and i think there is a feeling among people that it is so great we are making progress and we just cannot go back, we can�*t take any steps in retreat now come and given that this freedom day is a kind of day where it is a very final restrictions on distance and wearing masks and on large gatherings, whether or not that has to be on the 21st, given the uptick that we have got from the new indian variant, i think it is easy to honour perhaps we need to look and in an sober way. i honour perhaps we need to look and in an sober way-— in an sober way. i met sean goffin sa in: in an sober way. i met sean goffin saying this — in an sober way. i met sean goffin saying this but _ in an sober way. i met sean goffin saying this but because _ in an sober way. i met sean goffin saying this but because people - in an sober way. i met sean goffin| saying this but because people will start hating get more. —— i am not showing off by saying this, the indian variant, the delta variant to market variant does not call the alpha variant. it will all get very

confusing. i�*mjust alpha variant. it will all get very confusing. i�*m just going at it and because it will get more confusing from official voices. that is now the dominant one. i was interested in something we heard from a scientist earlier, not one of the government official advisers, but she was saying one of the things that we haven�*t had the last few weeks the government apparently hasn�*t published his figures from affections and schools and there is some antidotal evidence that those numbers have gone up quite significantly and given schools will still be sitting for a further month after so—called freedom day, might that be another reason for caution do you think?— that be another reason for caution do ou think? , ., , ,., , do you think? yes, absolutely. there is some controversy _ do you think? yes, absolutely. there is some controversy over _ do you think? yes, absolutely. there is some controversy over the - do you think? yes, absolutely. there is some controversy over the fact - is some controversy over the fact public health england had these figures and refusing to publish them and a lot of people want to see them about effects in the school. but then again, the people who are very keen to left lockdown would say the point of the vaccination programme was to vaccinate the most vulnerable to make sure that their double vaccinated the most honourable

people who want the vaccine probably will been double vaccinated by now. in which case it shouldn�*t matter too much if there is a surgeon affections and schools because the most vulnerable will be protected but we have to remember that even in the best case scenario where the most notable had the vaccine, it is not entirely infallible. it is not going to stop all infections or hospitalisations are best. and going to stop all infections or hospitalisations are best. and that is the point- _ hospitalisations are best. and that is the point. we _ hospitalisations are best. and that is the point. we can _ hospitalisations are best. and that is the point. we can never - hospitalisations are best. and that is the point. we can never know. hospitalisations are best. and that l is the point. we can never know for certain how somebody individually will react to this particular infection. henry, take us onto the guardian. this is a story they get different treatment on a number of the papers. you have written or one of the writers on the story as well on the times but picking up on what the guardian says come a bit more detail here. , �* , , ., guardian says come a bit more detail here. , a ., here. yes. as you said to him in the

school day would be. some of the unions to go would be counterproductive. unions to go would be counterroductive. , , ., counterproductive. yes. it is all exceeding _ counterproductive. yes. it is all exceeding the _ counterproductive. yes. it is all exceeding the school— counterproductive. yes. it is all exceeding the school day. - counterproductive. yes. it is all exceeding the school day. you | counterproductive. yes. it is all- exceeding the school day. you have to have an intelligent planet which he would do with the extra half an hour. you have to have some ideas about how you will make sure all children can fulfil their potential in a year when so much education is loss. and notjust people sell follow behind. what about the kids would�*ve been going really well, we want every child to fulfil their potential so it is quite a blunt instrument to say we will extend the school day and it will sort things out. you have to do in a targeted way and they have to support head teachers who make the best decisions of the basis of their particular circumstances was that we talked about rural schools where the journey time might be very long and better in those cases the dukes remote learning. but those claims are narrowing down in the school they will be extended and the telegraph as an interview with the independent secretary gavin williamson who is kind of dismissing

forward, will be part of the squad, as well asjordan henderson and harry maguire who have both been suffering from injuries lately. and the big news is that liverpool�*s trent alexander arnold is chosen by gareth southgate. there were doubts over whether he�*d be involved, but the england manager has chosen four right backs in total, with kyle walker, kieran trippier and reece jamesjoining alexander arnold in the squad. yes, we have four players that play sometimes at right back for their clubs, but kieran is here and he�*s been playing at wingback as well as right back, reece james has played right over three or right wing back, trent plays at right back, kyle walker, you know he is played at centre half for us in a three and also has played at left back during a match for us against denmark. reece james was in midfield against

aston villa. basically they are and are best 26 footballers and that is why they are on the squad and if i could�*ve picked a fifth or sixth right back, probably would�*ve done. meanwhile... some worrying news for the scotland team ahead of the tournament, midfielderjohn fleck has tested positive for covid, at the squad�*s training camp in spain. the sheffield united player will now self—isolate — and will not travel with the squad to portugal for tomorrow�*s friendly against the netherlands. the sheffield united player will now self—isolate — and will not travel with the squad to portugal for tomorrow�*s friendly against the netherlands. the rest of the squad have been tested and have all returned negative results. there�*s less than two weeks to go now until their first match against the czech republic at hampden park. big news from the premier league. carlo ancelotti has left everton afterjust 18 months, to become the head coach of real madrid for a second time. it�*s after a tenth placed finish in the premier league this season and leaves everton searching for a sixth permanent manager in five years. he takes over from zinedine zidane, and returns to the club he managed for two years between 2013 and 2015,

winning the champions league in 2014. i think my overwriting emotion is surprise, a little bit frustrated we won�*t be able to see this project through because me personally, i�*ve been a little bit unsure about some aspects of the team later in the season. i think everybody was ready to give carlo an opportunity to invest in the squad and put a stamp on things and really try improve everton going forward with some new players in the summer but unfortunately as we sit here now it will not happen. so surprise or frustration i would say, that�*s the overriding emotion right now. to rugby union. saturday�*s premiership rugby fixture between gloucester and bath at kingsholm has been called off because of a covid outbreak in the gloucester squad. the cherry and whites say "a number" of positive tests were returned by players and other staff. the match wont be rescheduled — with a panel allocating the points for the match. neither side can qualify for the play—offs though. world no one novak djokovic continued his imperious form this year with a confident straight sets win over tennys sandberg in the first round of the french open in paris.

he�*s never lost his opening match at roland garros in 16 previous editions and never looked like upsetting that statistic. he came through 6—2, 6—4, 6—2, injust under two hours. the 18 time grand slam winner saving all six break points he faced en route to victory. and men�*s defending champion rafael nadal beat australia�*s alexei popyrin in straight sets in the first round. lots of expectation on the shoulders of the spaniard as he�*s in the same half of the draw as djokovic and federer but he�*s just happy to have won his opening match. this time was with the part of the draw of the number one. but still, remain a lot with me for it to face that much in the semifinals. i just won my first match, something i�*m happy with and i�*m focusing now on for the second one. and that is it. meanwhile an injury for ashleigh barty but the world number one is through to the second round in the women�*s draw after beating america�*s bernarda pera. the 2019 winner coming through 6—4, 3—6, 6—2 but she needed a medical

timeout after losing the second set and later revealed she was suffering from a hip problem. england�*s cricketing summer officially gets under way tomorrow with their first test match against new zealand at lords and bowler stuart broad will be the team�*s vice captain. despite this being the start of his 14th summer in the england team, broad�*s recent performances show that he�*s still right at the top of the international game. and with regular deputy ben stokes out injured, captainjoe root has chosen broad to be his right—hand man. it's very exciting for him. he has been a senior player for a long time now, as you are well aware. he has got a very good relationship within the dressing room and speaks very well, has a very good understanding of the game and he is an obvious fit for the role in the absence of ben. it is always special to come here and play test cricket. such an appreciation for the farm and obviously here at the home of cricket, the tradition that surrounds it, it is always a great opportunity for if you guys in our camp

it is their first time, so pretty special for them as well. it is always a great opportunity for a few guys in our camp it is their first time, so pretty special for them as well. they are a very strong side it hard to beat. they have a lot of depth. our focus for now is on the cricket that we want to play. and build on that but also trying to make those adjustments that are required in this part of the world. and that�*s all the sport for now. hello again. tuesday was the hottest day of the year so far. a title that will last until, well, later on today when temperatures are expected to get a little bit higher still. most of us had skies like this, then, plenty of sunshine around, and it was warm widely. 26.1 celsius was the highest temperature — that was recorded in cardiff where we have the heat as far north as northern at 25 celsius. here, just 11 celsius. here we had low clouds and fog. there is another batch waiting to move across the north sea over the next few hours. meanwhile, over in france, we have some thunderstorms that

are beginning to spread their way northwards. now, most thunderstorms coming from a cloud called altocumulus castellanus. you quite often don�*t get much rain from it, what falls can be big blobs, but you can get pretty dazzling lightning displays and lots of thunder. you might see some of that, i think, in the channel islands over the next few hours before those downpours start to spread into southwest england, where we could get some heavier rain mixed in. now, as that kind of air comes up from france, it�*s going to start to feel much more humid across southern areas. eastern coastal areas of both england and scotland starting the day sunny, but late morning, i think we probably will see some areas of low clouds and fog move back in, particularly from about north yorkshire northwards, so it will be a lot cooler for these areas. temperatures, 27 celsius, wouldn�*t be surprised if we saw 28 celisus, just depends how much sunshine we get. on into thursday�*s forecast, well, the low pressure bringing the showers is still with us. this cold front�*s important — to the east of that, we could see some showers breaking out just about anywhere. now, there certainly will be some

showers going across northern england and into scotland. but across england, well, this is with a cold front is, so we could get storms breaking out just about any time as we go through thursday, some of them could be really heavy as well. temperatures, still pretty high, 21r—25 celsius across eastern areas of england, but otherwise, those temperatures coming back down closer to average. now, thursday night, even into friday, we could still see some storms affecting parts of eastern england, but eventually, the whole of the uk will get into that fresher air that�*s come off the atlantic. so temperatures will be coming back closer to average. still, though, with some spells of sunshine around, it�*s not going to feel cold at all. it�*s going to be pleasant in the sunshine. temperatures about 19 celsius in cardiff, 23 celsius in london in 18 celsius in glasgow. that�*s your weather.
