in cricket, it's been the first day f england's second and final test against new zealand at edgbaston. a near capacity crowd watched a finely balanced day 5 action, with england batting first. opener rory burns made 81, but new zealand 5 bowlers also enjoyed plenty of success, reducing england to 258 for 7 by the close of play. football, and scotland have arrived at their training camp to prepare for the much delayed euro 2020 tournament. it's the first time the men's team will play at a major tournament in 23 years. jane dougall reports from the camp near darlington. this was the last time scotland men were at a major tournament. the 1998 world cup in france. and this was the last man to score. he isjust the player
10:31 pm
for it, burley! yes! he's done it! the tactics have worked! after 23 years, scotland back. arriving at their training base to prepare for the european championship. kevin nesbitt, who scored in one of scotland's warm up matches, was just a one—year—old when scotland was last at a major tournament but he believes head coach steve clarke has helped dispel those years of negativity. yes, it's as if it's been completely wiped since the gaffer�*s come in. he's done a greatjob, he's got us playing some good football. i think we've got a great team. i think we've got some top players playing at the highest level. so i think get to the group stage and we will see what happens. for so long now, scotland men have had the reputation of being glorious in defeat. but, within this squad, there are ten premier league players, two of whom are holders of champions league winners medals perhaps this time fans can allow themselves to hope? i think that we can surprise people. i really do.
10:32 pm
i think we will qualify from the group. i'm an eternal optimist when it comes to scotland. but it is confidence. i believe in the group. i think we've got a lot of really good players, a good mix in the squad. it is home advantage for their opening match. hampden hosts monday's game against the czech republic where 12,000 tartan army fans will be the first in a generation to watch scotland at a major tournament. jane dougall, bbc news, scotland's training camp. and we'll leave you tonight with some images of the partial solar eclipse seen across large parts of the northern hemisphere today. this was the view from london, captured briefly through the clouds by the bbc photographerjeff 0vers as the moon travelled directly in front of the sun. the view was somewhat more spectacular in canada, with the annular eclipse leaving just a sliver of sunlight visible. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster, daisy mcandrew, and john stevens, who's the deputy political editor at the daily mail. good to see you both. thanks so much for being with us. let me bring you up—to—date with what the front pages are saying so far. according to the times, ministers are considering delaying the end of coronavirus restrictions for a month to give businesses "certainty" and allow more time for people to receive two vaccinations. the daily telegraph carries a warning from former prime minster theresa may that the uk is "shut for business" because of travel restrictions that she describes as "incomprehensible." while the i reports vaccine supplies will be "tight" over next few weeks, as medics
10:34 pm
try to vaccinate under—305. the metro concentrates on health secretary matt hancock defending his performance during the pandemic, claiming britain never had a shortage of ppe, and denying allegations that he repeatedly lied during the crisis. the guardian says the french president, emmanuel macron, is increasing pressure on borisjohnson over the northern ireland protocol by insisting "nothing is negotiable", as the g7 summit of world leaders risked being overshadowed by a bitter brexit standoff. the daily mail features the prime minister meeting the us president, with borisjohnson referring tojoe biden as "a breath of fresh air." the financial times reports us consumer prices increased by the most in nearly 13 years in may compared with a year ago, as inflationary pressures flared up in the world's largest economy. while the sun looks forward
10:35 pm
to the euro 2020 football tournament that kicks off tomorrow night. we will have coverage of that in the course of the next couple weeks. let's begin. daisy, do you want to kick us off with the telegraph's coverage of the bidenjohnson with the telegraph's coverage of the biden johnson meeting? with the telegraph's coverage of the bidenjohnson meeting? a special relationship. fix, biden johnson meeting? a special relationship-— relationship. a sandy special relationship, _ relationship. a sandy special relationship, which - relationship. a sandy special relationship, which is - relationship. a sandy special l relationship, which is referring relationship. a sandy special - relationship, which is referring to is not the meeting between the president and the prime minister, but more the meeting between the first ladies and baby wilford, who we got ourfirst first ladies and baby wilford, who we got our first glance at. you can see his face being protected. this was a photo opportunity that was orchestrated byjill biden and carriejohnson, and showing off baby wilford for the first time it was taken by an official photographer, number ten photographer, who was very careful not to show the face.

10:38 pm
there are important tensions. the obvious one is over what one of describe it the elephant in the room, northern ireland. this picture tellin: one room, northern ireland. this picture telling one story. — room, northern ireland. this picture telling one story, but _ room, northern ireland. this picture telling one story, but the _ room, northern ireland. this picture telling one story, but the briefings l telling one story, but the briefings that we were all getting yesterday telling a completely different story that the americans had hauled in, david frost, about his brexit negotiations and what was going to happen. suddenly today it's all holding hands and smiling and kissing babies. very, very different. asjohn said, these meetings can achieve something, but very often, they achieve very little. i thought it was interesting to say gordon brown not in a patronising way, but saying, telling borisjohnson to make the most of it and not get sucked into grandstanding and just get down to business. and they did have a
10:39 pm
meeting that was longer than predicted. then we all know that all that did was predicted that not very much will come of a meeting, and afterwards, being able to claim a huge victory. they always predict they're going to do badly and when they're going to do badly and when they do less bad, they say they really pulled out of the bag and everybody loves them. you get all these briefings before these g7 meetings and all sorts of summits in exactly the same way. downplaying expectations. it’s exactly the same way. downplaying exnectations-_ the independent bought the photo opportunity, it's not going to turn down a good picture to make a bold front page, but underneath, it's a different story. no negotiation on trade crisis. it is notjust him, its angle of merkel, it's ursula von der leyen, all their eu

10:42 pm
today specifically about aviation and travel and transport being a part of that. she is really, really putting the boot in and saying that aviation and travel are absolutely incomprehensible, she says. the travel restrictions are still in place. i think whichever side you're on, whether in favour of more stringent measures or in favour of, you're a lockdown sceptic, nothing seems to make much sense at the moment. having a floppy borders policy, as well as saying we're going to lift lockdown, but not quite sure if we are. other papers saying things are going to be relieved or pushed back by a few weeks, so theresa may saying our policy doesn't make sense, that we have vaccinated more than the rest of europe and yet, we're not opening up. in the way the rest of europe is doing. what many people are saying
10:43 pm
is that connection between the number of cases we have, 7000 today, hospitalisations and ultimately death has been severed now. many of the papers are saying a0 to 50—year—olds have considerable amounts of antibodies and are pretty much say. saying it doesn't make sense. it's time to open the borders. my sense is that government policies seem to be going in the other direction, they keep saying don't go on holiday, which seems to me that they're going to tell us pretty soon that they want to close the borders more rather than do what theresa may wants them to. perhaps that being... you have to set this up, you've got to... but in return, will allow lockdown to be lifted within our borders. that seems to me
10:44 pm
the way it's going. it's interesting because that also points to another potentially confusing message from government as a result of the g7, which is this new task force that biden and johnson announced to look at reopening transatlantic travel. everything else the government seems to be pointing in the opposite direction, frustrating to theresa may. direction, frustrating to theresa ma . ., . , direction, frustrating to theresa ma . ., ., , ., direction, frustrating to theresa ma. ., ., , ., , may. you look at the list of places ou can may. you look at the list of places you can go — may. you look at the list of places you can go on _ may. you look at the list of places you can go on holiday, _ may. you look at the list of places you can go on holiday, and - may. you look at the list of places you can go on holiday, and it's - may. you look at the list of places you can go on holiday, and it's so | you can go on holiday, and it's so smelt _ you can go on holiday, and it's so smelt it — you can go on holiday, and it's so small. it looks like people are not meant _ small. it looks like people are not meant to — small. it looks like people are not meant to go on holiday this year, but i _ meant to go on holiday this year, but i think— meant to go on holiday this year, but i think theresa may, her constituency isn't near heathrow airport, — constituency isn't near heathrow airport, so — constituency isn't near heathrow airport, so that might play a part in why— airport, so that might play a part in why she's been so strident in her remarks _ in why she's been so strident in her remarks. somebody mentioned on twitter— remarks. somebody mentioned on twitter that she seemed desperate to -et twitter that she seemed desperate to get abroad, after that holiday in wales, — get abroad, after that holiday in wales, she decided no more holidays. she needs _ wales, she decided no more holidays. she needs to go... wales, she decided no more holidays.
