on the need to solve post—brexit trade problems in northern ireland, following his first face—to—face meeting with president biden. the two met in cornwall on the eve of the g7 summit. the two men also agreed a new "atlantic charter" to work together on global challenges, and president biden confirmed the us is buying half a billion doses of the pfizer vaccine to donate to poorer countries. state—run media in myanmar says the former leader, aung san suu kyi, is facing corruption charges linked to a charity set up in memory of her mother. ms suu kyi's government was toppled by the military in february. a partial solar eclipse has taken place across much of the northern hemisphere.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us friday. with me are the broadcaster, daisy mcandrew, and john stevens, who's the deputy political editor at the daily mail. welcome back to both of you. let me bring you at home up—to—date. 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 try to vaccinate under—30s. 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 daily mirror reports that matt hancock is accused of "insulting" frontline staff who died in the first wave due to a lack of kit. 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." while the sun looks forward to the euro 2020 football tournament that kicks off tomorrow night. and we will come to football a little later.

john, do you want to kick us off this time? let's start with the guardian if we may. bitter standoff over brexit �*s hours at the start of g7 summit. jae over brexit 's hours at the start of g7 summit-— g7 summit. joe biden obviously arrived in carmel— g7 summit. joe biden obviously arrived in carmel today - g7 summit. joe biden obviously arrived in carmel today or- g7 summit. joe biden obviously arrived in carmel today or last i arrived in carmel today or last night with the g7 summit —— cornwall. the rest are arriving tomorrow, and it seems like these rows between britain and the eu over northern ireland and the brexit deal seemed to be bubbling away behind the scenes. emmanuel macron said he is not prepared to negotiate any of the arrangements in there, which is something that britain said it wants to do. so, it's not quite clear what's going to go on here. both sides are digging in, doesn't really seem to be a clear solution and as much asjoe biden might want to say that it's a peacemaker, it's not clear how much you will get involved. once you go beyond the all sides respecting the good friday

agreement, it gets complicated. it is complicated. we could spend the remaining 80 minutes —— i8 is complicated. we could spend the remaining 80 minutes —— 18 minutes reminding people how we got here. that's not so productive. there, there seems to be not an agreement between the british and the europeans, but even between ireland and northern ireland too. just ickin: and northern ireland too. just picking up _ and northern ireland too. just picking up on _ and northern ireland too. just picking up on what you've just said, i picking up on what you've just said, iwouid _ picking up on what you've just said, iwouid echo— picking up on what you've just said, i would echo that. if you want to hold _ i would echo that. if you want to hold onto — i would echo that. if you want to hold onto any viewers at all, i would — hold onto any viewers at all, i would suggest you don't spend the full 18_ would suggest you don't spend the full 18 minutes breaking over the full18 minutes breaking over the recent_ full 18 minutes breaking over the recent painful history. of course, this is_ recent painful history. of course, this is the — recent painful history. of course, this is the elephant in the room. thats— this is the elephant in the room. that's what— this is the elephant in the room. that's what people are calling it. it's interesting because we know heither— it's interesting because we know neither borisjohnson it's interesting because we know neither boris johnson nor it's interesting because we know neither borisjohnson nor butjoe biden_ neither borisjohnson nor butjoe biden wants to... joe biden is passionate about the subject personally, but he hasjust embarked on his— personally, but he hasjust embarked on his first _ personally, but he hasjust embarked on his first big tour out of the united — on his first big tour out of the united states since he became

uk and the eu? a few months ago there was discussion about cutting off the flower in france and retaliation —— the power. i think even more concerning is what's going to happen in northern ireland. we know there were problems a couple of months ago just before the death of friends philip. prince philip died and it all comes down. as the restriction are used in northern ireland, i think a lot of people are very concerned about what's going to happen in the next few months. this is the very serious side of it is because unionist politicians are saying they think this breaches... there was an article in the times saying they think this breaches the spirit of the northern ireland agreement because it's a protocol that has not been signed off consensually by all the parties in the northern ireland of the sender.

patients in hospitals aren't rising at the same rate. the number of deaths isn't rising. it does look like the vaccine is having an impact, but i think there is still some worry within government, and it seems they're heading towards either a two week extension or a four week extension to lockdown. i a two week extension or a four week extension to lockdown.— extension to lockdown. i guess the one thing we _ extension to lockdown. i guess the one thing we can — extension to lockdown. i guess the one thing we can say _ extension to lockdown. i guess the one thing we can say about - extension to lockdown. i guess the one thing we can say about this - extension to lockdown. i guess the one thing we can say about this is l one thing we can say about this is that it's the best way of ensuring that it's the best way of ensuring that he doesn't have to go backwards. the great fear of having to lockdown again or increase restrictions when you've eased them is politically the thing he most desperately want to avoid. guaranteed we wouldn't be going backwards. of course, he is now slightly— backwards. of course, he is now slightly hoisted by his own petard because _ slightly hoisted by his own petard because of its due change. 90% of
