11:31 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are harriet line, chief political correspondent at the daily mail, and george eaton, senior online editor at the new statesman. welcome to both of you. thanks so much forjoining us. the daily mail leads on the news that the murderer colin pitchfork has been cleared for release from prison, with a plea from his victims�* relatives to keep him locked up. the metro features an official report by mps that warns the future of the nhs is at risk, and that chronic understaffing means it is being held together by the goodwill of burnt—out workers. the financial times reports that finance ministers are plotting a raid on amazon's lucrative cloud computing business to ensure it pays more corporate tax under a new g7 agreement on a global rate.
11:32 pm
the i writes that vaccines are winning the variant battle, with only 2% of people admitted to hospital having had two doses of a vaccine. the guardian reports that borisjohnson has set himself on a collision course with scores of his mps as number ten suggested it would defy today's order to bring a vote on foreign aid cuts. the telegraph says brussels will start a trade war with britain if borisjohnson overrides the brexit treaty so that northern irish shops can keep selling british sausages. the times warns that britain's road map for easing lockdown could be delayed by a fortnight after a "downbeat" briefing from chris whitty and sir patrick vallance. and the mirror reports that people in their 20s are now being invited for their first coronavirus jab. so, let's start off with the times.
11:33 pm
saying lockdown lifting is delayed by a fortnight, there's been so much speculation about lifting of restrictions going had in england. there seems to be this briefing that ministers have that was pretty downbeat. ministers have that was pretty downbeat-— ministers have that was pretty downbeat. . ~ , , downbeat. yeah, i think this will be the worst nightmare _ downbeat. yeah, i think this will be the worst nightmare for _ downbeat. yeah, i think this will be the worst nightmare for hospitality| the worst nightmare for hospitality and sectors like weddings. the date is pushed back, ministers think perhaps to fall weeks, which is a significant chunk —— two to four weeks. the delays would be better than easing some restrictions, but that might be a little bit confusing to lift some and keep some in place. a delay would also give enough time for people over 50 two have had both doses of the coronavirus vaccine. we know two doses are better than one,
11:34 pm
and with the indian variant, that is very much in focus. this is a really interesting story from the times because we have been reporting for a number of weeks on what will they do, and this is quite a firm suggestion that it will appear to be looking towards at least a two week delay. the impact of that on hospitality and sectors like nightclubs and some pubs not being able to open in recent months or weeks, when the restrictions have used. it's not viable. and weddings, if you put a wedding date onjune 22, this is not an easy one to be reading. 22, this is not an easy one to be readinu. . , reading. therapy huge disappointment. - reading. therapy huge disappointment. what| reading. therapy huge i disappointment. what do reading. therapy huge - disappointment. what do you reading. therapy huge _ disappointment. what do you think borisjohnson�*s instincts will be? he's been criticised throughout the pandemic for not being cautious enough, but do you think you will now be cautious and delay by may be a couple weeks or month? yes. now be cautious and delay by may be a couple weeks or month?— a couple weeks or month? yes, i think to some — a couple weeks or month? yes, i think to some extent, _ a couple weeks or month? yes, i think to some extent, the - a couple weeks or month? yes, i - think to some extent, the government has learned _
11:35 pm
think to some extent, the government has learned from what is generally seen as— has learned from what is generally seen as it — has learned from what is generally seen as it process in being overconfident and not acting quickly enough _ overconfident and not acting quickly enough to— overconfident and not acting quickly enough to arrest the spread of the virus _ enough to arrest the spread of the virus and — enough to arrest the spread of the virus and i— enough to arrest the spread of the virus. and i think it's unsurprising that they— virus. and i think it's unsurprising that they are considering a delay because — that they are considering a delay because there has been significant easing _ because there has been significant easing of— because there has been significant easing of the restrictions, it hasn't — easing of the restrictions, it hasn't been as fast as some wanted, and that's_ hasn't been as fast as some wanted, and that's been a measure of the government's caution. they did say all along _ government's caution. they did say all along they would be guided by data and — all along they would be guided by data and not dates, and this is the real testament because of course, the vaccines have made a huge difference in reducing hospitalisations and deaths, but as chris whitty and patrick vallance said, _ chris whitty and patrick vallance said, they're not 100% effective. there _ said, they're not 100% effective. there are — said, they're not 100% effective. there are those who are unvaccinated, whether by choice or they are _ unvaccinated, whether by choice or they are unable to have the vaccine medicallx — they are unable to have the vaccine medically. there's also the question of how— medically. there's also the question of how long — medically. there's also the question of how long immunity lasts. so, all
11:36 pm
of how long immunity lasts. so, all of those _ of how long immunity lasts. so, all of those mean that it is wise to be cautious— of those mean that it is wise to be cautious about the new variant. of course, _ cautious about the new variant. of course, had — cautious about the new variant. of course, had the borders been more strictly— course, had the borders been more strictly controlled, perhaps cases wouldn't — strictly controlled, perhaps cases wouldn't have reached the height they now — wouldn't have reached the height they now have.— they now have. harriet, a lot of --eole they now have. harriet, a lot of peeple will _ they now have. harriet, a lot of peeple will say _ they now have. harriet, a lot of people will say let's _ they now have. harriet, a lot of people will say let's look - they now have. harriet, a lot of people will say let's look at - they now have. harriet, a lot of people will say let's look at the i people will say let's look at the front of the daily telegraph. they'll say the data is pretty optimistic and the telegraph has the story that jabs are optimistic and the telegraph has the story thatjabs are working. just three people, they say, taken to hospital with the indian variant had been double vaccinated. only three of those taken to hospital had the double vaccination. also, just highlighting the latest figures. one death in the uk.— highlighting the latest figures. one death in the uk. yeah, there's a lot of data that — death in the uk. yeah, there's a lot of data that is _ death in the uk. yeah, there's a lot of data that is really _ death in the uk. yeah, there's a lot of data that is really positive. - death in the uk. yeah, there's a lot of data that is really positive. of. of data that is really positive. of course, the downside is the cases are rising and the indian variant does appear to spread more easily. that data isn't great, but anyone
11:37 pm
who is keen for lockdown restrictions to be eased will be pointing to this data and waving in front of the government, saying how can there be such a downbeat assessment from scientists when this is the reality? what we need is for people to be taking the vaccine. that's perhaps where the government should be focused as opposed to keeping people under restrictions. but that said, scientists clearly are concerned about the two—week delay, will it make that much of a difference? hospitality would argue yes. but today, the health echo terry said that link between deaths and hospitalisations in cases has been very combined —— has been broken —— the health secretary. saying how does that add up to the government's thinking. let's go on to the guardian, george.
11:38 pm
looking ahead to the g7 summit, and it is an interesting message from downing street that boris johnson doesn't really like the term special relationship between britain and the united states. he thinks it's needy and weak, apparently. i united states. he thinks it's needy and weak, apparently.— and weak, apparently. i think that there's something _ and weak, apparently. i think that there's something refreshing - and weak, apparently. i think that l there's something refreshing about this attitude because whenever a us president— this attitude because whenever a us president is visiting the uk or vice versa. _ president is visiting the uk or vice versa, there's always a minor diplomatic— versa, there's always a minor diplomatic fury over whether they use the _ diplomatic fury over whether they use the phrase a special relationship, did they say it with sincerity. — relationship, did they say it with sincerity, and the reality is that of course. _ sincerity, and the reality is that of course, the us and the uk are historically— of course, the us and the uk are historically very close allies. and will remain so. at the us has a special— will remain so. at the us has a special relationship across countries. it has a special relationship with france, with canada. — relationship with france, with canada, with israel and so on. and
11:39 pm
the uk. _ canada, with israel and so on. and the uk. i_ canada, with israel and so on. and the uk, ithink, borisjohnson recognises cannot be defined simply and should not be viewed by its relationship with the us. if there's anything _ relationship with the us. if there's anything that defines the government's foreign policy, it's that britain at least in theory should — that britain at least in theory should have a special relationship with the _ should have a special relationship with the world. they are trying to emphasise — with the world. they are trying to emphasise that message about looking outwards. _ emphasise that message about looking outwards, and i think the special relationship is different in different times. harriet, let's look at the times and the row over ali robinson suspended ljy the row over ali robinson suspended by the england and wales cricket board —— ollie. borisjohnson and the culture secretary both saying that was over the top. offensive tweets from when he was a teenager, and he's apologised, and nowjust to bring you right up to date, we're hearing that the england and wales cricket board are looking into
11:40 pm
claims that a second player posted historic offensive material, and thatis historic offensive material, and that is now being investigated as well. wisdom .com unearth a tweet by an england cricketer who wrote that when he was under the age of 16, not being named. but this is quite a row and it's a row that's interesting in terms of to what extent you should be punished now for something you did several years earlier. definitely, and i suspect there's notjust definitely, and i suspect there's not just two definitely, and i suspect there's notjust two big names who would've written things online in their youth that they now regret or will be seen as offensive ten years later or whatever. it's interesting that the government has intervened in this. they're pretty strong words from oliver dowden, saying these comments were awful when they were made, but he was a teenager then. he is now a
11:41 pm
man and he has apologised, and i think it's a real issue for modern times. there are many people in their 20s and 30s who will have had social media accounts as teenagers and written things that really are not ok, and how much do you judge someone on that? can you, do those people deserve a second chance? it depends on case—by—case basis, but i don't think ollie robinson will be alone in having misdemeanors like this. it sounds like there is another case, then there's probably plenty more out there in the sporting world.— plenty more out there in the s-uortin world. . ., , sporting world. george, the daily mail. "the monster who killed our girls must never be free." the two schoolgirls were murdered by colin pitchfork, who raped and strangled the is—year—olds back in the 1980s. the parole board is now approving his release, and this is hugely controversial. does the government

11:44 pm
pretty effective in slowing this deterioration. uk regulators will look at it. could be up to a year, potentially longer. charities are pointing to the fact that it would help the hundred thousand people with alzheimer's and the uk if it is approved. it's definitely something to be celebrated, perhaps cautiously, but really great to have a breakthrough in alzheimer's, a very devastating disease. the daily telegraph's main story is europe threatens sausage trade war. is this threatening our sausages? yes. this is on the northern ireland protocol. _ yes. this is on the northern ireland protocol, which the grace period ends _ protocol, which the grace period ends later— protocol, which the grace period ends later this year. after that, it would _ ends later this year. after that, it would not —

11:49 pm
universe was covered in this review. my thanks to harriet and george. that's it for the papers for tonight. i'll be back at midnight with the main stories from around the world. before that, it's the sport. goodnight. good evening and thank you forjoining us. we'll start with cricket as the prime minister, borisjohnson, agrees with the culture secretary, oliver dowden, that the england and wales cricket board went over the top by suspending ollie robinson from all international cricket. it's for racist and sexist tweets he sent when he was a teenager. the posts from nine years ago emerged when the pace bowler was making his debut against new zealand last week at lord's. our sports correspondent andy swiss has more. caught in a cricketing controversy. this was ollie robinson last week,
11:50 pm
receiving his first england cap, but barely had he taken the field than a series of tweets emerged, which he'd posted in 2012 and 2013. they were racist and sexist, and robinson apologised. i deeply regret my actions, and i'm ashamed of making such remarks. i was thoughtless and irresponsible, and regardless of my state of mind at the time, my actions were inexcusable. the issue, though, is gathering pace. last night, the england and wales cricket board suspended robinson, pending an investigation, but that's now drawn criticism from the culture secretary, oliver dowden. he said the tweets were... a spokesman for the prime minister said he supported that view, and so do some within the sport. the correct way forward here was not to suspend, but to say, "ok, right,
11:51 pm
let's learn from this. let's make you learn from this." make him do, you know, the equivalent of community service. go out there amongst county cricketers, cricketers of any ilk, and spread the word that social media is not a thing to be abused, and these are things not to say. standing up against any form of discrimination... - but the timing of this could not be more sensitive. before last week's match, robinson and his team—mates wore shirts with anti—discrimination messages and many believe as well as education, there has to be a sanction. if you're 18 and 19, you're still an adult, and even as a youngster, i think you know the right and wrong. do you think a ban is over the top? i think it is really important that it is a zero—tolerance stance on racism, and that if you are sending a tweet which is racist or sexist, you know, that there should be sanctions. and if that be a ban, that's what needs to happen. it has emerged tonight that as well as robinson, the ecb are
11:52 pm
robinson, one of england's most promising talents, remains suspended and at a time when discrimination in sport is under the spotlight, so is cricket's handling of this controversy. andy swiss, bbc news. meanwhile, just a day after the english cricket board suspended robinson, the ecb say they are looking into claims that a second player posted "historic offensive material". in a statement, they said they will comment on their findings in due course. to roland garros, where world number one novak djokovic survived a scare after going two sets down to 19—year—old lorenzo musetti in the french open. djokovic fought back to take the next two and, perhaps, breathed a sigh of relief when the young italian retired due to injury. drew savage was watching. the world of tennis knows all about novak djokovic, but this was lorenzo musetti's moment to step out into the big time. 18 months ago, he was ranked 360th in the world. he's already cracked the top 100, and this is why.
11:53 pm
the teenager from tuscany played some top—class tennis — no fluke when he took the first set on a tie break. the italian every bit the equal of the serb, who's looking for his 19th grand slam title. beaten in another tie—break, two sets down. but the story changed in the third. djokovic took control to win it 6—1. unforced errors from musetti, the 19—year—old playing in his first grand slam and new to five set tennis seemed drained of energy. the fourth set a whitewash, 6—0 to djokovic. if the crowd had hoped for a thrilling decider, they didn't get it. musetti did his best after a medical time—out, but was clearly troubled. it was game over with djokovic four—love up. he marches on to the quarter finals but musetti will surely be back. drew savage, bbc news. rafael nadal is also through. he had a much simpler time, easing through in straight sets against yannik sinner. his winning run in paris now extends to 35 sets
11:54 pm
as he looks for a record—extending 14th french open title. meanwhile, in the women's draw, coco gauff is through to her first grand slam quarterfinal. it's after she beat ons jabeur in straight sets. she's17 now, and caused a sensation when she reached the fourth round at wimbledon two years ago. the american said winning in parma last month has done her the world of good. britain's alfie hewett retained his french open wheelchair singles title after beating the top seed, shingo kunayda. hewett won in straight sets to earn his fifth grand slam singles title. it was actually his second title at this year's tournament after he and partner gordon reid successfully defended their doubles crown on sunday. brighton defender ben white says he's "beyond proud and honoured" after being called into the england squad for euros, which start on friday. he comes in for the injured liverpool defender, trent alexander—arnold. white has only played 109 minutes
11:55 pm
of international football after making his debut against austria on wednesday. the brighton academy graduate started against romania in central defence and certainly impressed england boss, gareth southgate, in theiri—nilwin. england's opening game of the euros is against croatia at wembley on sunday. and british gymnast becky downie has confirmed her appeal against the decision to leave her out of the team gb squad for the tokyo olympics has been rejected. downie missed the final selection trial last month, following the sudden death of her brother, josh. she was given an additional chance to make it, just days before her brother's funeral. earlier on social media, she said that she's in the form of her life, she still loves the sport and doesn't want to retire like this. she then congratulated those that were selected for tokyo, adding that she'll be cheering them on from home. and that is all the sport. have a lovely evening, bye for now.
11:56 pm
hello there. it's been a warm start to the new week. quite a bit of cloud around on monday, but i think for today, it's looking sunnier across the board. it's going to stay warm for the rest of this week, and in fact, we're going to start to import some tropical air across the country, so it's going to feel quite humid. there will be further patchy cloud and rain across northern and western areas as low pressure will always be nearby. the setup into tuesday, higher pressure to the south, lower pressure to the northwest, so it does mean we'll start off rather grey for much of scotland and northern ireland through this morning with some patchy, light rain and drizzle. but conditions will start to improve for northern ireland — skies brightening up here and across northeast scotland. elsewhere, after a bit of early cloud and miss, it's going to be a sunny day, and it's going to feel warmer with more sunshine around. we could see 25 degrees across southeast england, 22 or 23 for the northeast of scotland. there could be just the odd shower here and there, but most places will be dry. now, as we head through tuesday night, we'll see further cloud returning to scotland and northern ireland. patchy rain here,
11:57 pm
some coastal fog, too. further south, it is dry with clear skies and we'll start to see some humid air being imported from the southwest, so everywhere staying in low teens celsius. wednesday will have high pressure to the south, lower pressure to the northwest with these weather fronts, and the limitation of these pressures will draw up this warm and humid airfrom the tropics, so it really will be quite noticeable on wednesday. again, rather grey across parts of scotland and northern ireland, perhaps western england and wales. best of the sunshine further south and east. could see a little bit of light rain and drizzle over western areas, but it's going to feel warm, particularly when you factor in the humidity. could see highs of 26 degrees on wednesday in the sunshine. if you add the humidity to that, it's going to feel even warmer than the temperatures suggest. thursday's another warm and humid day. perhaps a bit more cloud across the board. patchy rain for northwestern parts of scotland and northern ireland. bit more cloud for england and wales, but some sunny spells here and there. most places across england and wales should stay dry, but it'll be a bit
11:58 pm
breezier across the board. windier in the far northwest of scotland, where we'll have most of the rain. but you can see it is another warm day. low to mid 20s celsius for england and wales. factor in the humidity, of course, it's going to feel warmer than that, and nights are also going to be warm and muggy. could see something a little bit fresher across scotland, northern ireland on friday. otherwise, it's going to remain warm with some sunshine into the weekend.
