hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are claire cohen, who's the women's editor at the daily telegraph, and joanna jarjue, the tv and radio commentator. tomorrow's front pages starting with... the financial times leads on the deal that leading economies are aiming to reach on taxing multinational companies — leaders are hoping to end what the paper calls �*a three—decade race to the bottom in corporate taxation�*. the daily mail reports that channel migrants have been secretly picked up in french waters by the uk border force and taken to dover. the times writes that coronavirus
11:32 pm
cases have surged by 76% in a week but the government insists there is still no evidence to support a delay to the final stages of reopening onjune 21. the daily telegraph says the vaccine roll—out is to be accelerated in an attempt to secure a route out of lockdown, with over—40s expected to receive their second jab within eight weeks, rather than 12. the daily mirror reports that children could be given covid jabs within weeks after the pfizer vaccine was ruled safe for ages 12 to 15. the guardian adds that school leaders are calling for pupils to be vaccinated as a matter of priority — after data showed outbreaks of the delta, or so—called indian, variant in schools throughout england. the daily express writes that the health secretary matt hancock reassured the nation that britain's jabs blitz is helping win the battle against new variants. and the sun calls on the prime minister borisjohnson to stick to removing all restrictions
11:33 pm
on the 21st ofjune. so let's begin... covid infection surge. borisjohnson has been saying he can't see anything in the data to derail that june the 21st date but actually cases are going up quite seriously. they are. the times is reporting that surged by 76% in that week which is faster than any time since september. i guess the slight nuance in that which is probably what the government are clinging to is that the number of very seriously ill and intensive care in elderly patients have gone down, which is a testament to the vaccination programme and it is younger people were less sick or being admitted to hospital. nonetheless, the numbers are rising and there's a lot of concern about potential new variants, the indian
11:34 pm
variant we know it spreading and there was talk this week of of a nepalese variant, a slightly different strain that nobody is quite sure what that will be yet. so all of that said, the numbers are going up, the times is also reporting in the story polling is done, the majority of people it says one social distancing and pubs and restaurants to continue. asked that freedom day ofjune which i'm not really surprised by. i think with the euros coming up of course, there will be huge swells of people going to the pubs and we know that it takes two to three weeks after the easing of hospitality restrictions for any spike or surge further to that to show. so i'm not really surprised by that. what people don't want this more last—minute u—turns, more going back on this word by the government. i think really they probably rather have that decision now. some papers and reporting july the 5th as perhaps the new freedom day. i think people would rather

11:36 pm
leading up to the statistics come had quite a good weather. it is not really _ had quite a good weather. it is not really that — had quite a good weather. it is not really that which is surprising. i'm not surprised as well that they government are focusing on the fact that there _ government are focusing on the fact that there is not that many hospitalisations as well. that is the main — hospitalisations as well. that is the main thing. are people really suffering — the main thing. are people really suffering from this virus to the extent— suffering from this virus to the extent that we need to restrict ourselves _ extent that we need to restrict ourselves any more? but caution obviously— ourselves any more? but caution obviously is probably the best plan for them _ obviously is probably the best plan for them so that they don't do any more _ for them so that they don't do any more u—turns. for them so that they don't do any more u-turns._ for them so that they don't do any more u-turns. and the vaccine is key to all of this — more u-turns. and the vaccine is key to all of this without _ more u-turns. and the vaccine is key to all of this without we've _ more u-turns. and the vaccine is key to all of this without we've had - to all of this without we've had this race between the and the virus. in the variant. the telegraph is saying that as part of that race, there's a plan to get second jabs sped up for the over 405. so there's a plan to get second jab5 sped up for the over 405. so that they reduce the period where between they reduce the period where between the first chapter in the second job for the over 405 to eight weeks rather than 12 weeks. does that make sense rather than 12 weeks. does that make 5en5eif rather than 12 weeks. does that make sense if that is possible? not very long to go untiljune the 21st anyway. long to go untiljune the 21st an a . , ., , ., anyway. there is not very long. it would be a _ anyway. there is not very long. it would be a bit _ anyway. there is not very long. it

11:38 pm
the government and civil service that contingency plans. they can focus everything onjune the 24th focu5 everything onjune the 24th and frankly it is very much in the balance. —— they cannot focu5. definitely. 0ne balance. —— they cannot focu5. definitely. one thing i will always welcome — definitely. one thing i will always welcome from this government in particular— welcome from this government in particular is to hear they are making _ particular is to hear they are making a _ particular is to hear they are making a plan for something. i feel as if this _ making a plan for something. i feel as if this pandemic there have been quite _ as if this pandemic there have been quite a _ as if this pandemic there have been quite a few— as if this pandemic there have been quite a few times where they have not plan _ quite a few times where they have not plan adequately for things that are happening, so it is a shame that the planning so much for something that is— the planning so much for something that is as _ the planning so much for something that is as menial as opening back up but at _ that is as menial as opening back up but at least — that is as menial as opening back up but at least they are making a contingency so i have to give them some _ contingency so i have to give them some credit for it. but yes, what they— some credit for it. but yes, what they are — some credit for it. but yes, what they are basically saying is that they're — they are basically saying is that they're making contingencies at the moment— they're making contingencies at the moment and they are hoping to open up moment and they are hoping to open up but _ moment and they are hoping to open up but if— moment and they are hoping to open up but if they don't come at least there _ up but if they don't come at least there is— up but if they don't come at least there is a — up but if they don't come at least there is a plan in place and i don't think— there is a plan in place and i don't think that — there is a plan in place and i don't think that the delaet will be that much _ think that the delaet will be that much of— think that the delaet will be that much of it— think that the delaet will be that much of it will probably be something along the lines of two or three _ something along the lines of two or three weeks is what government advisers — three weeks is what government advisers are saying. still
11:39 pm
three weeks is what government advisers are saying.— advisers are saying. still in the ft. moving _ advisers are saying. still in the ft. moving away _ advisers are saying. still in the ft, moving away from - advisers are saying. still in the ft, moving away from the - advisers are saying. still in the - ft, moving away from the coronavirus about the g7 planning to tax multinational profit5. we know some of the big multinationals have made a lot of money during the pandemic, especially. an idea to tax them globally now. especially. an idea to tax them globally now— especially. an idea to tax them globally now. something that has been in the _ globally now. something that has been in the works _ globally now. something that has been in the works since _ globally now. something that has been in the works since 20131 - globally now. something that has. been in the works since 20131 think been in the works since 2013i think that it's been discussed but the pandemic seems to have focu5 minds, the g7 meeting of finance leaders of course ahead of next week in the g7 meeting global with world leaders. they want to have something to announce which they may do tomorrow. it is quite a historic moment actually because there she rightly said, all this household names that we know, ending the practice of these companies, the worlds biggest companies, e55entially quite legally and legitimately paying no tax or little tax. in moving their revenues
11:40 pm
and profits to low tax juri5diction5. so it's been a long time coming in the us has been pushing for a global minimum of 15% corporation tax on profits. there's been a bit of tension with the uk over that. we already have in place her own digital tactics at the source of temporary interim measure. —— digital tax. the us doesn't really like that and throw it put tariffs on uk airports in retaliation. it's been a bit of historic tension there but it looks like it might be overcome this week in this global plan might go ahead. i suppose during the crisis, governments are very short of plenty. he stents and anything they can get into in terms of extra taxation income is very welcome. definitely. i am actually surprised it has _ definitely. i am actually surprised it has taken the pandemic, while i'm not that— it has taken the pandemic, while i'm not that surprised looking at the grand _ not that surprised looking at the grand scheme, but it is a shame almost — grand scheme, but it is a shame almost it— grand scheme, but it is a shame almost it is— grand scheme, but it is a shame almost it is taking a global
11:41 pm
pandemic by them to realise this is the problem. my firstjob out of university— the problem. my firstjob out of university was for a big tech company, _ university was for a big tech company, they were headquartered in ireland _ company, they were headquartered in ireland for— company, they were headquartered in ireland for a _ company, they were headquartered in ireland for a reason. and i think havinq _ ireland for a reason. and i think having that _ ireland for a reason. and i think having that global and level playing field globally is important to get that revenue, especially after covid — that revenue, especially after covid. but let's also remember this isjust_ covid. but let's also remember this isjust the _ covid. but let's also remember this isjust the g7 covid. but let's also remember this is just the g7 they are discussing this at— is just the g7 they are discussing this at the — is just the g7 they are discussing this at the moment. i think for this to actually— this at the moment. i think for this to actually be effective, nice to be something that happens widely so that there is on the other countries that there is on the other countries that are _ that there is on the other countries that are able to undercut in terms of tax _ that are able to undercut in terms of tax rates, so i completely welcome _ of tax rates, so i completely welcome and i think it is way overdue, _ welcome and i think it is way overdue, i_ welcome and i think it is way overdue, i think actually the island in particular, the economy having been _ in particular, the economy having been impacted as other countries around _ been impacted as other countries around the — been impacted as other countries around the world as much because of the amount— around the world as much because of the amount of finance they get from these _ the amount of finance they get from these massive companies. sol the amount of finance they get from these massive companies. so i think in the _ these massive companies. so i think in the future, it will probably be a challenge, — in the future, it will probably be a challenge, i think the g7 countries
11:42 pm
are welcoming it right now, but i do think— are welcoming it right now, but i do think it _ are welcoming it right now, but i do think it will — are welcoming it right now, but i do think it will be a challenge to get that uptick with other countries as well were — that uptick with other countries as well were at the moment is better. a look well were at the moment is better. look at the guardian. the facebook ban on donald trump until 2024. it says the former president is guilty of severe violation meriting the highest penalty. what do you make of that? he says is is a slap in the face of everybody who voted for him. yes, he is. it is not the highest penalty because of course he has been banned permanently from twitter. this is a two—year further ban from facebook. they haven't gone as far as that. i think this will be quite controversial in that there will be a lot of people looking at this this evening and worrying about free speech and controlled by a small group of people in a corner of silicon valley. in the uk we have
11:43 pm
just in the queen's speech announce our new online duty of care bill but the telegraph campaign for and that has a pledge entity protect the freedom of expression online. so people will be wondering about that this evening and support as i suppose we'll be feeling that actually this vindicates for them what he has been saying all along about being shut down about the censored. —— his supporters will be feeling. and being the victim of theory conspiracy theory. he will probably be allowed back on just in time if he wishes for another run in 2024 and i doubt very much he will have changed in the two—year period. we will have to wait and see about that one. i we will have to wait and see about that one. , ,,.,, we will have to wait and see about that one. , we will have to wait and see about thatone. , that one. i suppose in some ways donald trump _ that one. i suppose in some ways donald trump will _ that one. i suppose in some ways donald trump will almost - that one. i suppose in some ways. donald trump will almost welcome that one. i suppose in some ways - donald trump will almost welcome the support of the looks like it is him fighting against massive facebook. he is being muzzled and it is the sort of thing that his base is an supporters will rally around him

11:45 pm
whether— instrumental in his campaigning whether it was legitimate or not allegedly come i don't know, but it is something that we know that it worked _ is something that we know that it worked out for him and his base in the p55t~ _ worked out for him and his base in the past. we worked out for him and his base in the ast. ~ ., the past. we saw an interview with nick clegg. — the past. we saw an interview with nick clegg. who — the past. we saw an interview with nick clegg, who is _ the past. we saw an interview with nick clegg, who is facebooks - the past. we saw an interview with nick clegg, who is facebooks vice l nick clegg, who is facebooks vice president and he was saying that you you can say would you like but not if it hurts other people, and that is the principle that is long—established. do you buy that but do you think facebook are treading on dangerous territory of free speech year? i treading on dangerous territory of free speech year?— free speech year? i think they are treadin: free speech year? i think they are treading on _ free speech year? i think they are treading on dangerous _ free speech year? i think they are treading on dangerous territory. l free speech year? i think they are| treading on dangerous territory. it is all very well nick clegg saying that but they have been allegations and reports and there were during the previous us presidential election that there were links that were pro—or anti—joe biden that can be shared and the various things people were trying to share or copy that the platform didn't seem to be supporting. so this isn't the first
11:46 pm
time they've have faced these accusations. they are treading on thin ice here.— thin ice here. let's go to the yorkshire — thin ice here. let's go to the yorkshire post. _ thin ice here. let's go to the yorkshire post. this - thin ice here. let's go to the yorkshire post. this is - thin ice here. let's go to the yorkshire post. this is a - thin ice here. let's go to the | yorkshire post. this is a story thin ice here. let's go to the i yorkshire post. this is a story i know you're interested in, joanna. a call the switch leveling up focusing skills. it is an article that they have with lord gus o'donnell who is having a secretary to three prime minister. , , , ., �* , minister. yes. it seems that there's been a below _ minister. yes. it seems that there's been a below average _ minister. yes. it seems that there's been a below average and - minister. yes. it seems that there's| been a below average and numeracy cost of— been a below average and numeracy cost of the _ been a below average and numeracy cost of the region about a range of 2 billion— cost of the region about a range of 2 billion a — cost of the region about a range of 2 billion a year. so he is basically proposing — 2 billion a year. so he is basically proposing that part of the leveling of strategy is also investing in children— of strategy is also investing in children and their education and infrastructure. i know this is something the conservative party have pushed every few seconds of at the, and _ have pushed every few seconds of at the, and i_ have pushed every few seconds of at the, and i think they use that as a strategy— the, and i think they use that as a strategy to— the, and i think they use that as a strategy to appease people and their redwall— strategy to appease people and their redwall seats that they want to keen _ redwall seats that they want to keen it — redwall seats that they want to keep. it is very compelling it obviously— keep. it is very compelling it obviously to invest in infrastructure so that borisjohnson
11:47 pm
can stand _ infrastructure so that borisjohnson can stand to do interviews with a hard _ can stand to do interviews with a hard hat— can stand to do interviews with a hard hat on— can stand to do interviews with a hard hat on it while something is being _ hard hat on it while something is being built in the background but actually— being built in the background but actually especially if the covid, we need _ actually especially if the covid, we need to— actually especially if the covid, we need to focus on the fact that a lot of children— need to focus on the fact that a lot of children have been left behind, there _ of children have been left behind, there was— of children have been left behind, there was actually a report by an education — there was actually a report by an education think tank as well today that has— education think tank as well today that has talked about how much children— that has talked about how much children from the pride backgrounds, how much— children from the pride backgrounds, how much the gap is whited in terms of their— how much the gap is whited in terms of their numeracy skills in their reading — of their numeracy skills in their reading skills. sol of their numeracy skills in their reading skills. so i think at this point _ reading skills. so i think at this point it— reading skills. so i think at this point it is— reading skills. so i think at this point it is really important and i do really— point it is really important and i do really agree with lord ull donna because _ do really agree with lord ull donna because i_ do really agree with lord ull donna because i come from this type of background. i come from yorkshire. i don't _ background. i come from yorkshire. i don't come _ background. i come from yorkshire. i don't come from an affluent background. —— lord o'donnell. if this was— background. —— lord o'donnell. if this was me — background. —— lord o'donnell. if this was me going to school during this was me going to school during this pandemic i would be part of the statistics— this pandemic i would be part of the statistics properly. part of leveling up is definitely focusing of education and probably not a short—term strategy doesn't appease the government right now but in the next ten _ the government right now but in the next ten years it is really important to make sure that there is not too _
11:48 pm
important to make sure that there is not too much of a skills gap with these _ not too much of a skills gap with these children and also to make sure it is good _ these children and also to make sure it is good for— these children and also to make sure it is good for the economy could because — it is good for the economy could because i— it is good for the economy could because i think tax revenues could potentially effective as well if there's — potentially effective as well if there's too much of a gap or if there — there's too much of a gap or if there isn't— there's too much of a gap or if there isn't enough that we kept our circle _ there isn't enough that we kept our circle of— there isn't enough that we kept our circle of deprivation for these kids — circle of deprivation for these kids. �* , , circle of deprivation for these kids. �*, , ., ., 4' circle of deprivation for these kids. 2 , ., , ., kids. let's 'ust look at the store in the kids. let's just look at the store in the telegraph _ kids. let's just look at the store in the telegraph about - kids. let's just look at the store in the telegraph about in - in the telegraph about in collections. this meant a rise in the bin collections only three weeks for more than 1 million the bin collections only three weeks for more than1 million homes. with the you make of that? this for more than 1 million homes. with the you make of that?— the you make of that? this is a story that _ the you make of that? this is a story that makes _ the you make of that? this is a story that makes your - the you make of that? this is a | story that makes your eyebrows the you make of that? this is a - story that makes your eyebrows shoot up. this is something we can all relate to. only three weekly bin collections every three weeks, standard weekly collections are already have been the last decade, now the telegraph is saying the number of households getting their bins collected every three weeks has increased 20 fold. the problem is counsellors are under increasing pressure with recycling targets was
11:49 pm

good evening. we start at the french open, where serena williams' quest for a record equalling 24th grand slam title continues after she beat fellow american danielle collins. going into the tournament serena wasn't one of the favourites for the title — but in the opening week six of the top ten women in the world have gone out before the third round. that hasn't happened for 20 years at rolland garros as patrick geary reports. leafy rolland garros, where there's plenty of trees yet very few seeds. atleast not in the women's draw. with the top two already gone, the third seed had no one above her, but in front of her anastasia pavlyuchenkova, and that proved a problem. the russian went from a break down to a break—up, and eventually to a set up. a turnaround few expected — after all, she's one of the form players in the world, something that became apparent in the second set.
11:53 pm
it seemed her dip had been a blip, her power too much for anastasia pavlyuchenkova, who called for a doctor and stumbled upon a cure. first game and third set she pounced, the world number 32 prized the door back a jar and and slammed it in the face and then locked up. anastasia pavlyuchenkova took the decider. another seed scattered. anastasia pavlyuchenkova will go to azarenka, another belarusian making light work of keyes. paris is a good place for a renaissance, she is through in straight sets. was there now a path for the queen? seventh seed serena williams has spent years chasing grand slam 24, and she insists she still has the stamina to get there. the touch may never leave her. she broke daniel collins in the first set and in the second,
11:54 pm
but collins is a fighter. she underwent surgery for endometriosis only in april and yet here she was playing shots like that. and going up a break. serena looked as though she would be drawn into a longer afternoon than she had hoped for, but when collins missed she did her own pep talk. she certainly moved her feet enough to break back, and regain control. she could deliver the final shot standing still. there's a way to go to reach that elusive slam, but by parisian standards, the road ahead is unusually clear. no problems for alexander zverev in the men's draw. he's eased into round four, beating laslo djereh of serbia in straight sets. the second seed daniil medvedev is also through to the last 16 and stefanos tsitsipas has beaten john isner in four sets. following fan protests, manchester united have announced they'll create a fan advisory board and look at a supporter

share scheme. the announcement came after united co—chairmanjoel glazer broke a near 16—year silence on his family's ownership of the club at a fans forum today. united also say they've initiated a dialogue with the manchester united supporters trust with the aim of identifying a mutually beneficial fan share scheme. the fans that i spoke to after that meeting, they were all almost pleasantly surprised by the engagement thatjoel glazer had, by the time he spent answering the questions and the meeting ran over and they were almost as i say surprised and had a feeling that glazer cared for the club. the weather dictated proceedings at lord's with play abandoned on day three of the first test between england and new zealand. rain throughout the day meant no play was possible —

on sunday for the latest world triathlon series event. and that's all the sport for now. good night. hello. those parts of eastern england that had such a soggy friday are looking quite a lot drier through the weekend. a lot of dry weather around, but still potentially one or two showers from a week weather front pushing in from the west. so for many of us, saturday starts off fine and dry with some sunshine, a bit of mist and mark first thing across east anglia and the southeast. as we go through the day, we will see that weak weather front bringing cloud and some showery rain into western parts of england, wales. parts of northern ireland and western scotland could see the odd heavy thudery shower into the afternoon. highest temperatures further east in the sunshine, gettingg up to around 23 celsius. now, as we head to saturday night, this frontal system will continue to work its way little bit further eastwards, still with some outbreaks of rain along it, certainly some extra cloud setting in across parts of england, and particularly east wales. as we head through sunday, still the odd burst of rain. further north and west,
