tv The Papers BBC News June 14, 2021 11:30pm-12:00am BST
11:30 pm
this is bbc news, the headlines speaking after a nato summit, president biden said he will make it clear in his meeting with russia's president putin on wednesday that there were areas where cooperation was possible, but if mr putin chose not to, the united states would respond. despite one of the world's fastest vaccine rollouts — the british prime minister boris johnson — has delayed the final lifting of covid restrictions, in england by four weeks. the first israeli government in twelve years not led by benjamin netanyahu has been getting down to business. but the former prime minister refused to host a traditional handover ceremony for his successor, naftali bennett. the jailed journalist — roman prota—sevich — has made an unexpected appearance at a news conference in belarus — flanked by uniformed officials — in what the opposition has called another appearance under duress.
11:31 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me is the broadcaster henry bonsu, and the former trade minister, lord jones. let's have a quick look at the front pages, which all lead on the prime minister's delay to the full easing of lockdown in england, to 19th ofjuly. �*freedom put on ice�*, headlines the metro, to speed up vaccinations and build, what borisjohnson called, a �*wall of immunity�* against the virus. the express also quotes from today�*s press conference —— that the decision to postpone unlocking will save thousands of lives. business hopes for more financial support were dashed, says the ft, when borisjohnson seemed to rule out any changes to the furlough scheme or business support programme. "will we ever be free?" writes the sun, claiming the announcement sparked nationwide anguish. on the front page of the times:
11:32 pm
the pm�*s warning that britain must learn to live with covid —— and his insistence thatjuly 19th is what he called a �*terminus date�*. the guardian says borisjohnson signalled he would tolerate no further suspension of easing restrictions. but the mail claims he repeatedly failed to guarantee that what he�*d once called �*freedom day�* would not be put off pastjuly 19th. and on a similar note: "it�*s definitelyjuly 19, unless it�*s not", headlines the telegraph, which also picks up on comments made by professor chris whitty, that children may require a covid jab to continue their eduation without disruption. so, let�*s begin. do you want to start us with this anguish front page from the sun. the nation is in torment, will we ever be free? , , , ., nation is in torment, will we ever be free? , , _, ,, be free? yes, this is a newspaper and a primary _ be free? yes, this is a newspaper and a primary function _ be free? yes, this is a newspaper and a primary function is - be free? yes, this is a newspaper and a primary function is to - be free? yes, this is a newspaper| and a primary function is to review the way the papers deal with these

all things british and not lee�*s freedom but if you look at the pictures of those and sceptics outside, and numbers yet, out there, expressing their freedom on the streets of london, and not very much have been locked down there and i was in britain over the weekend, 20 degrees heat, hundreds of thousands of people in various bits of the area, no sense of luck down there but staying within a metre of each other and outdoors people are to swelling up the streets, is just a carnival atmosphere and flick of the people watching the football in birmingham, and glasgow, this is not a real lockdown and is currently set, it is a nightmare for those poor business people and their employees who face further anguish but we are not in syria, we are not in north korea, let�*s get some perspective. looking at the front of the daily mail. _

11:37 pm
against it and although the mail is anguishing saying that it could go on for borisjohnson, that�*s purely because he is not ruling out what he might do if a further variant is out there by the 19th ofjuly and he did say, the medical officer did say that there may be some significant numbers of people in hospital by the 19th ofjuly, but the benefit of continuing restrictions may be outweighed by the damage to people, mental health and other services at that point. so even he may not stand in the way of the chief adviser and the chief adviser may not stand in the chief adviser may not stand in the way either.— the way either. this is very worrying. _ the way either. this is very worrying. henry _ the way either. this is very worrying, henry but - the way either. this is very worrying, henry but i - the way either. this is very worrying, henry but ijustl the way either. this is very - worrying, henry but ijust agree. i would _ worrying, henry but ijust agree. i would completely agree with the last two statements. that is very unusuat _

country and this many die of heart disease, but i would say if ever join the debate with them, you can�*t give somebody a heart disease by breathing on them and the latent background number of deaths per day in this country is about 1400, all right? and many of them, they are long—term diseases but there are very few diseases that with the exception to death, can kill you within three or four weeks. in covid—19, novel coronavirus is one of those things which is why we are fighting against it because it spread so quickly and so many people are out there that have it and that is what we get the new variance and thatis is what we get the new variance and that is why the government is throwing everything but the kitchen sink added and also because all the others diseases are in treatment of them for primary care, their diagnosis, treatment and it can be knocked sideways as we have seen by lots of people with coronavirus

tournament and 12,000 fans in glasgow were there to see it. after a year of restrictions of restrictions in silence, that was something to cheer for. but now they have the platform scotland want to bloom. we know the czech republic of the lowest ranked of their group opponents in scotland had the noise behind them. andy robertson came this close to making it louder but slowly the czech republic gained control and just before the break, they made them quiet. patrick, a forward in the bundesliga, they paid £20 million for finishing like this but 1—0 down, the true level but for the crossfire, and the goalkeeper. but on the biggest stage, misses are costly and scotland�*s hopes faded with something extraordinary. and patrick has scored again. he has taken the opportunity brilliantly. this was him scoring again and this was the contenderfor goal of the
11:53 pm
tournament. he spotted david way off his line, 2—0, scott and cannot find a way back. is a tough lesson for us at the highest level and the best tournaments in the world, you have to take your chances and the czech republic and did that and we did not and that is why we got on the wrong end of the result. scotland�*s return to a tournament is only one game on. next up it is england at wembley on friday. the game that promised the most on monday at the european championship arguably delivered the least. three time winners spain were facing sweden in seville but it was a contest of few chances — this late gerard moreno header was saved — meaning it finished goalless in the group e encounter as spain had 85% possession in the match but couldn�*t break down their opponents defence. elsewhere in group e slovakia beat neighbours poland 2—1 in st petersburg, capitalising on the polish side being reduced to ten men because of a red card in the second half. milan skriniar got slovakia�*s winner for the side that made the last 16 at the euros five years ago.

the finland captain tim sparv is the latest player to question whether their game against denmark at the weekend should have resumed less than two hours after christian eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest. the game was suspended near the end of the first half — when the score was 0—0 — following eriksen�*s collapse. he remains stable in hospital after being revived on the pitch in copenhagen. finland went on to win the game 1—0, but this was the response of their captain when he was asked if he�*d rather it had not restarted — and taken a 0—0 draw. i don�*t think that was something that we would�*ve argued with, for us it was important that the danish players felt ok with the decision that they took and we didn�*t want to force or pressure them into something that they weren�*t

comfortable with and so i was just trying to listen to where are you right now, how do you feel, what do you want to do and we were quite prepared to support their decision. away from the euros, the men�*s and women�*s wimbledon finals will be played in front of a capacity crowd on centre court. it�*ll be the first outdoor sporting event in the uk to have a full crowd since the start of the pandemic. the tournament, which starts on the 28th ofjune, will have a 50 per cent ground capacity, despite the extended lockdown announced this evening by the prime minister. wembley will also be able to host matches at 50 per cent capacity for the knockout stages of euro 2020. next to tennis and a it was a good day for the brits with cameron norrie and jack draper through on the opening day of the queen�*s club championships. draper, the unseeded british teenager knocked out the number three seed — and fellow 19—year—old — yannick sinner. draper was 4—0 down in the first set with sinner, the world number 23 and one

of the most exciting players on the tour taking charge, but draper fought back to win on a tie—break. and he kept up the momentum in the second set and won that on a tie break too completing his first win on the men�*s tour. i started playing when i was very young, my mum who�*s over there was watching me and started me off and i was young and yeah, it�*s been a great journey since i started and it�*s been a bit bumpy with injuries and stuff like that, but i�*m glad i�*m standing here today. meanwhile at the birmingham classic, heather watson looked in danger after she lost the first set to switzerland�*s viktoria golubic, but the brit won the next two sets to make it safely into the next round. it�*s just her fifth win on the wta tour this season. fellow brit harriet dart was knocked out though. and that�*s all the sport for now.

hello. monday was a day of contrast. still hot and humid in london. the temperatures were soaring by the middle of the afternoon we reached the highest temperatures recorded so far this year and that was 30 celsius in greater london. now, it was a different story further north and west because of the weak weather front that spilling in across scotland that was spilling in across scotland into the north of england. behind it, the wind direction changing to a northwesterly and that brought with it some fresher air and marked contrast. look at sunday�*s highs across northern ireland, 25 degrees, the warmest day of the year here. by monday, those temperatures were down quite sharply. it looks as though that fresher feel will continue to be the theme of the weather into tuesday as well. starting off the good deal of dry weather,

why? we�*ve got this warm humid air starting to move up from spain and into france and to trigger some sharp thunderstorms and there�*s a lot of uncertaintyjust where these thunderstorms are likely to crop up and so, it�*s worth keeping up with the rest of the forecast been anywhere across eastern england lead to real torrential thunder downpours and top temperatures down considerably and we are looking at 13 to 22 degrees.
