hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me is the broadcaster and psychotherapist, lucy beresford, and and she's joined byjoe twyman, director of the polling organisation, deltapoll. hello to you both again, thank you for rejoining us. we've got all the front pages in. the mirror says freedom day is on hold, focusing on the potential delays to easing restrictions that the prime minister could announce tomorrow. the guardian also focuses on those delays, saying the postponement could keep thousands out of hospital, as it would allow an extra nine million people to be vaccinated. the times features a photo of the queen meeting president biden and the first lady — they had tea together in windsor castle today as the g7 summit came to an end. the i focuses on so—called "vaccine libraries", saying the uk will be able to alter vaccines within weeks to react to highly transmissable variants.
11:32 pm
"show some respect" — that's the metro's headline, as the foreign secretary, dominic raab calls alleged comments from france's president macron "offensive" at the end of the g7 summit, in the row over the northern irish border. and the sun features a photo of footballer raheem sterling mbe, who they call the magic boots of england, who scored the winning goal for england in their game against croatia in the euros this afternoon. magic boots of england, that really was terrible. easing a lockdown delayed for four weeks, pm was terrible. easing a lockdown delayed forfour weeks, pm calls was terrible. easing a lockdown delayed for four weeks, pm calls for patients in the last stretch. putting on your polling hat, joe, will he get patients if that's what he calls for from the british government, —— public, do you think?
11:33 pm
he certainly won't get it from some people. this has been a very divisive issue, and unlike previous lockdowns which were supported by a large majority of people, the support for this particular extension of the current rules and the delay by four weeks is supported by a majority of people — but there's a sizeable minority who are against it. and this is really a challenge for the government because up challenge for the government because up until now, as the vaccine programme has rolled on being seen as very effective, the public�*s perception of the government doing the right thing on covid has grown more increasingly, people think they are on the right lines when it comes to dealing with the pandemic. but recently that number has started to drop, and that number collates very closely with support for the government generally and the prime minister specifically. and downing street they'll be worried about the travel of direction —— direction of travel of direction —— direction of travel in the polls. and while many people do support this delay, as
11:34 pm
they have throughout the pandemic, there will be many people opposed to it— and that could have, as time rolls on, and impact on things. i this is particularly true because of regional disparities and infection rates. we have areas like east darwin with an infection rate of 1208 per 100,000. darwin with an infection rate of 1208 per100,000. in darwin with an infection rate of 1208 per 100,000. in the area i live in, that's five, a huge difference. balancing public opinion and dealing with the health applications and economic implications will prove quite a challenge over the next four weeks. . , ., ., weeks. lucy, i interviewed a man this evening _ weeks. lucy, i interviewed a man this evening who _ weeks. lucy, i interviewed a man this evening who runs _ weeks. lucy, i interviewed a man this evening who runs a - weeks. lucy, i interviewed a man this evening who runs a company| weeks. lucy, i interviewed a man - this evening who runs a company that puts on festivals — he hasn't had any work for a year, and he was clinging onto the possibility — and it still is a possibility, though we talk about it as if it's not necessarily going to happen — but there could still potentially be an

announcement tomorrow that suggests there will be in on 21 june, announcement tomorrow that suggests there will be in on 21june, it looks unlikely. this man hasn't had any work, he's got staff that he may have to lay off. the idea of another delay — it's people like that who will be angry and who won't give the prime minister of the slack that he's hoping he might get. find prime minister of the slack that he's hoping he might get. and he's not alone. there _ he's hoping he might get. and he's not alone. there are _ he's hoping he might get. and he's not alone. there are so _ he's hoping he might get. and he's not alone. there are so many - not alone. there are so many industries. _ not alone. there are so many industries, the tourism industry, the hospitality and airline industries who have really been holding — industries who have really been holding out hope that 21 june would be this_ holding out hope that 21 june would be this freedom day. perhaps the air and thinking from the government was to pin _ and thinking from the government was to pin all_ and thinking from the government was to pin all our— and thinking from the government was to pin all our hopes to those particular— to pin all our hopes to those particular days —— error in thinking _ particular days —— error in thinking. they said it would be about— thinking. they said it would be about data, not dates. but if you infanta _ about data, not dates. but if you infanta lies— about data, not dates. but if you infanta lies your electorate — which is fundamentally what we all do when it comes _ is fundamentally what we all do when it comes to— is fundamentally what we all do when it comes to giving power to our leaders — it comes to giving power to our leaders - — it comes to giving power to our leaders — then you can't be surprised _ leaders — then you can't be surprised if we actually believe what _

11:39 pm
still. we will still be able to go out and meet friends for dinner, it'sjust the out and meet friends for dinner, it's just the complete removal of social distancing rules will takes more time. what i think is more interesting about the article in the times was the fact that dominic raab has already come out and sat on the radio this evening that they cannot be sure however that in four weeks' time, the next step will be there. i think that's really a good point the government will hope to get across, because we don't know how things will develop and what the success will develop and what the success will be, and it may be that in four weeks' time, the government decides that an extension is necessary. and when we can have that debate in four weeks' time is based on the data and the information that we have available. �* . the information that we have available-— the information that we have available. �*, ., ., available. let's go back to the times - northern _ available. let's go back to the times - northern ireland - available. let's go back to the times - northern ireland rowl available. let's go back to the - times - northern ireland row mars times — northern ireland row mars final day of g7, lucy, the prime minister insists he will do whatever he can to insist democrat protect

the rest of the country. he said that in rather shall we say unhelpful terms, and that's what led to the argument. but the fact remains that there is this land border with an eu state and a border in the irish sea. the british government claims that the eu is being, shall we say, rather persnickety with its interpretation and implementations of these rules. i think inevitably some compromise will have to happen on both sides, and perhaps it's an borisjohnson's interest to make a bit of a fuss about this so as to appear to the people of northern ireland to be fighting for their corner. {lilia people of northern ireland to be fighting for their corner. ok, let's no to the fighting for their corner. ok, let's go to the financial— fighting for their corner. ok, let's go to the financial times. - fighting for their corner. ok, let's go to the financial times.
