just feeding in also towards parts of northwest england, the north and west of wales during the day, whereas southeast wales, much of southern, central and eastern england and indeed parts of eastern scotland, will see some sunny spells at times. and feeling pleasantly warm where you see those. and much warmer in southeast england compared with recent days, as this wind is much lighter. so, here, temperatures just creep into the low 20s. this area of cloud and patchy rain's moving further south on thursday.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are olivia utley, assistant comment editor at the telegraph, and rob merrick, deputy political editor of the independent. welcome to both of you. good to have you back with us. you survive the football and you have restrained yourselves on the celebrations or commiseration. thanks for that. "england get the job done", says the telegraph, which features a picture of footballer raheem sterling celebrating after he scored the goal that sealed the win against the czech republic this evening. the metro also features the football on its front page, in particular the 60,000 fans that will be allowed into wembley stadium for the euros final, calling it a "lockdown milestone". the financial times focuses on how the pandemic has been a boon for the wealthy, with more than 5 million people becoming millionaires in the last year. the guardian leads on

government ministers pushing ahead with proposals to privatise channel 4, which would put an end to the broadcaster's a0 years as a publicly—owned service. and the mail looks at the possibility of quarantine—free holidays, saying that ministers are urging borisjohnson to ease travel curbs at the same time as restrictions in england are lifted. expected now onjuly 19. let's begin, and expected now onjuly19. let's begin, and olivia, do you want to ecosoc this evening with the telegraph and the football? a lovely photograph. it is telegraph and the football? a lovely -hotoara-h. ,., telegraph and the football? a lovely -hotoara-h. _, ., , photograph. it is a lovely photograph- _ photograph. it is a lovely photograph. he - photograph. it is a lovely photograph. he was - photograph. it is a lovely photograph. he was a . photograph. it is a lovely i photograph. he was a great photograph. it is a lovely _ photograph. he was a great moment. nothing most interesting match in the world! football commentators might shut me down, i don't know what i am talking about, but it was glorious, fantastic and have some good news, and what a goal, in such a good set up as well as the goal, an amazing watch and i thickened as put everyone into good move for the evening. no bad thing. i think if

weddings, my friend is getting married on the 17th ofjuly, and they are just try to test for the record what they are and are not allowed to do. today it was reported in the telegraph that it is the bride and groom's responsibility to make sure their guests are covid complaint for some meanwhile we have 6000 people in wembley and as many vips as you want. unlike rob, from my perspective, and we have a lot of science over the last couple of weeks that it doesn't matter that much cases are on the rise, yes, they are, but the link between cases and hospitalisations have been broken or very nearly broken. we have always said we have got to learn to live with covid, so i do not think it is a massive problem they are going to be six 2000 blood wembley for the final and semifinals, but i think it is meant that while that is happening, researchers are still in place for some as rob said, when it is important, the rules go out the window. parties can weddings, wedding anniversaries are all important and they should be going

borisjohnson is minister for the boris johnson is minister for the union, borisjohnson is minister for the union, a title he took for himself, but he has been really put in charge of what we call policy for the union and he is basically saying, he is almost putting kind of a minimum time limit on one another referendum could be held at. it is time limit on one another referendum could be held at.— could be held at. it is not a future rice that could be held at. it is not a future price that government _ could be held at. it is not a future price that government has - could be held at. it is not a future price that government has been l price that government has been pretty firm from the beginning that they probably will not be another scottish referendum until at least after the next election, but as you say it is pretty significant coming for michael gove, who is the fact of ministerfor the union for michael gove, who is the fact of minister for the union will boris johnson is obviously tied up with some other things. covid be one of them. i think, some other things. covid be one of them. ithink, obviously, this is not going to go down with the smp, but i do not understand how anyone could be surprised about this —— snp. everyone called it a once in a generation referendum. 0bviously snp. everyone called it a once in a generation referendum. obviously is not the time for massive political upheaval while we are still getting over covid, getting the country back on his feet, and the other thing is,

scotland's win in the last election was not that decisive. if they this blowing everybody else out of the water victory, then it would be possible to say the smp had a very strong mandate for a referendum, but as it is, ijust don't think the case is that strong —— s and p. also the fact the snp was talking down how much they want to have referendum for the election —— before the election to place just proves they are not feeling that confident about it. i'm sure nicola sturgeon will be out, being very upset about what gove has said in the next couple of days, but deep down, does she really want this referendum? does anyone? rab. down, does she really want this referendum? does anyone? rob, i wonder how— referendum? does anyone? rob, i wonder how this _ referendum? does anyone? rob, i wonder how this is _ referendum? does anyone? rob, i wonder how this is regarded - referendum? does anyone? rob, i wonder how this is regarded at - wonder how this is regarded at westminster post because there are those on the conservative site who are quite worried on the pressures of the union, both in northern ireland, in the context of the northern ireland protocol and whether that might push some in

northern ireland to see a united ireland at some point, the 100th anniversary of the partition of the island of ireland which has been marked very recently, more calls for welsh independence and plaid cymru did not do brilliantly in the brush elections, but there was that element come and now this sense that saying no is not enough of a policy to kind of convince people in scotland is worth staying in the union rather than leaving. it is weird. union rather than leaving. it is weird- the _ union rather than leaving. it is weird. the financers _ union rather than leaving. it is weird. the financers at one point we would _ weird. the financers at one point we would not _ weird. the financers at one point we would not have a scottish referendum for 40 _ would not have a scottish referendum for 40 years, so we know his position— for 40 years, so we know his position is _ for 40 years, so we know his position is. and this is not a question— position is. and this is not a question of now, 0livia rightly said — question of now, 0livia rightly said his — question of now, 0livia rightly said. his independence referendum now when_ said. his independence referendum now when the polls are so close? she need to _ now when the polls are so close? she need to have — now when the polls are so close? she need to have a decisive lead going into a _ need to have a decisive lead going into a referendum, but her party will only— into a referendum, but her party will only wait so long, so what will happen? _ will only wait so long, so what will happen? and independence referendum it will he _ happen? and independence referendum it will be brought forward at

virgin, various others, are involved in to get the government to show its workings, as they used to say in school and college, show how you got to the conclusion these countries should be a red country or ember country. using the government has a bit of a rod for its own back with its traffic like system? absolutel to the whole _ its traffic like system? absolutel to the whole notion _ its traffic like system? absolutel to the whole notion of _ its traffic like system? absolutel to the whole notion of an - its traffic like system? absolutel to the whole notion of an amberj its traffic like system? absolutel- to the whole notion of an amber list was always ridiculous —— absolutely. it has been a complete mess, and it always felt like some thing which had been very, very poorly thought her and just put forward because they couldn't really think of anything else to do so i am not surprised that they are facing this huge legal battle. but i agree with rob. i read this story and thought it sound more like something the daily mail wants, and the rest of us wants, not something that the government is going to do. everything we are hearing is that the government is going to, it might

be possible to travel abroad, it might be there is slightly easier, but going abroad over the next weeks, months, it's going to be very, very, very difficult to go abroad, it's going to be socially an acceptable to go abroad, and i that is what the government is driving home. everything we hear boris johnson and matt hancock speaking about this, it sounds of the price for domestic restrictions being listed on the 19th ofjuly is that foreign travel is still pretty restricted. soy do not really think this is particularly a good news story, though i hate to say that. got to make sure no ministers, cabinet orjunior, are spotted going through an airport during the course of the summer! let's move on to talk about... two linked stories, rob. we've got the ft saying more than 5 million people become billionaires despite the pandemic, a lot of detail in that story, yet the yorkshire post's lead story is north

plunged into debt by virus.
