11:31 pm
hello again and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. joining me, benedicte paviot, france 24's uk correspondent, and esther webber, senior uk correspondent at politico europe. let's bring you up to date with tomorrow's front pages, the one we have so far. it's that photo — first shown in today's sun — that features on many of tomorrow's front pages, including the daily mail, which says borisjohnson is facing an overwhelming clamour to sack matt hancock. the daily mirror also questions why the prime minister hasn't already sacked the health secretary. the daily telegraph's take on it is that public reaction is likely to determine his fate. meanwhile, the i says senior tories are fearing a public backlash, after the health secretary's actions were highlighted. the daily express says
11:32 pm
matt hancock's has caused anger the daily express says matt hancock has caused anger throughout the country, while the times carries the results of a yougov survey that found half of voters believe mr hancock should resign, with 25% saying he should stay. and the financial times says downing street hasn't denied that matt hancock had offered his resignation, with one minister suggesting the prime minister might now bring forward a planned reshuffle. let's begin. esther, do you want to pick—up us off this half—hour with the front page of the daily mail? how can he cling on, it asks? obviously is the story dominating the front— obviously is the story dominating the front pages for tomorrow. and the front pages for tomorrow. and the double — the front pages for tomorrow. and the double entendre there on the front_ the double entendre there on the front of— the double entendre there on the front of the daily mail sums it up,
11:33 pm
i guess _ front of the daily mail sums it up, i guess i— front of the daily mail sums it up, i guess. i think this is very much going _ i guess. i think this is very much going to — i guess. i think this is very much going to be _ i guess. i think this is very much going to be a live issue over the weekend, — going to be a live issue over the weekend, particularly as we have had more _ weekend, particularly as we have had more footage emerging this evening of that_ more footage emerging this evening of that incident between matt hancock and gina coladangelo in the department of health. so, yes, this is very— department of health. so, yes, this is very much— department of health. so, yes, this is very much a live issue, but i think_ is very much a live issue, but i think something we have seen in the past is _ think something we have seen in the past is that_ think something we have seen in the past is that the prime minister really— past is that the prime minister really does not like being dictated to on— really does not like being dictated to on matters like this. he stood firm by— to on matters like this. he stood firm by other cabinet ministers when they faced _ firm by other cabinet ministers when they faced other damaging allegations, and i think, therefore, the option— allegations, and i think, therefore, the option that you mentioned that
11:34 pm
he may— the option that you mentioned that he may accelerate the reshuffle does seem _ he may accelerate the reshuffle does seem to _ he may accelerate the reshuffle does seem to be _ he may accelerate the reshuffle does seem to be something that looks a bit more _ seem to be something that looks a bit more likely.— seem to be something that looks a bit more likely. yes, benedicte, we have this situation _ bit more likely. yes, benedicte, we have this situation where... - bit more likely. yes, benedicte, we have this situation where... we - bit more likely. yes, benedicte, wei have this situation where... we had findings against priti patel, the home secretary, that she was in breach of the ministerial code, but the finest or determined that she was not, and the prime minister's then adviser resigned. we had the case of gavin williamson, whose performance was so heavily criticised, even by some conservatives, as education secretary over the business of the algorithm affecting a—level results last summer and we have had allegations that the housing mr robertjenrick face. on one level it is admirable the prime minister is standing by his team, on the other
11:35 pm
hand it treats the impression that it doesn't matter what you do, you carry on in yourjob, that presumably does have a sort of... weakens the idea that there is a deterrence from bad behaviour in public life. deterrence from bad behaviour in ublic life. , . public life. yes, and accountability, - public life. yes, and accountability, and. public life. yes, and - accountability, and people, public life. yes, and _ accountability, and people, whether in the public sector or in the private sector, and therefore in government, need to be accountable, and many people are. so what does it take? what is a resignation matter? and the fact is, for example, if i was to transfer it to france, the attitude very much from the population there, and i suspect also in this country, is that if it does not interfere with yourjob, that it need not be a resigning matter, but when is the health secretary who has been leading the health crisis, him particularly and his boss, boris johnson, it is hard to see when
11:36 pm
they're just mounting political they�* re just mounting political public they're just mounting political public pressure, political pressure from notjust opposition, labour or liberal democrat mps, but also within the tory back benches and one or two senior anonymous quoted ministers in the papers, it is hard to see how this headline news is not going to damage the messaging that is absolutely still crucial for some the pandemic is not over. we are still in the pandemic we are dealing with, here in the uk, a very significant worrying variant called the delta variant. it is certainly one that the continental europe does not want to see over there. we may come onto that. so i think that the questions above and beyond ppe contracts, where there was, what has happened is we have a vaccine programme that is been so successful, and of course that is uppermost in the population's mind,
11:37 pm
but when you see that a survey, and this was the beginning of this story, a yougov survey has found nearly 50% of voters believe mr hancock should resign, with 25% saying he should stay, when you also hear that, saying he should stay, when you also hearthat, basically, saying he should stay, when you also hear that, basically, the matter is closed from either the spokesman and downing street and they are trained to ring fence matt hancock, because he is the lead person in this health pandemic, a health pendant that has cost over 128,000 lives —— trying to. and has caused a great deal of grief but also money, millions and millions of pounds, in an economy thatis millions of pounds, in an economy that is still not back on his feet, and we do not know when it will be. whether it is hospitality, aviation, tourism, nightclubs, the list goes on, shops, as one person was putting out to be after the first paper review, people need to travel — it's notjust people wanting a holiday
11:38 pm
but business travel — all of these sectors, it undermines the credibility. so will worsjohnson decide in fact to let go of his minister? and it is interesting. i wonder if mr hancock has indeed offered his recognition don't make resignation. he —— his resignation for tub and how did the footage get into the sun? that is something that needs to be looked at, but it is not a private matter any more, it is very serious, and it needs to be addressed stop at that footage point is interesting. long ago, the conservative government had the levinson inquiry. it conservative government had the levinson inquiry.— levinson inquiry. it was going to robe levinson inquiry. it was going to probe deeper— levinson inquiry. it was going to probe deeper into... _ levinson inquiry. it was going to probe deeper into... it - levinson inquiry. it was going to probe deeper into... it was - probe deeper into... it was cancelled by matt hancock. it is fun how these things work out. interesting, looking at the times, benedicte, unlike other papers and has resisted the urge to use the
11:39 pm

11:40 pm
down, allowing people with covid to go back into care homes. their 70 questions, so how was mrs coladangelo... was the affair first started before? that is where the public— private matters come into it, because it is about the way she has been hired, indeed whether possibly a member of her family was rewarded contracts is another angle, so there are so many angles to this story. it sounds like this is really cutting through. dummett cummings was clinging onto hisjob and then we were told was not, and it took a month for him to go, but it did a lot of damage, and it is on the back of that and all the other examples you gave. this comes in a context, any context is grave, is serious, so what are the consequences? they need to be dealt with rapidly stop what esther, essentially. mi

11:45 pm
guard against covid infections is in fact the right policy, whether it is justified, and here in the ft, we have this figure of, for last week, it shows that wall 214,000 children were often england self isolating, only 9000 had confirmed cases —— off in england. and then one can refer, for example, i can take of anecdotal evidence, some of the i know, who having abided religiously by all the rules of that discovered three, four weeks ago that her children, two out of three children, of hers had got the delta variant and was really worried about this. and of course they had to quarantine, as did she come and have test. and so i think this is the way this is going to go.
11:46 pm
there needs to be a proportion every principle here, so although it is immensely frustrating, i think that there needs to be more people, unfortunately, self isolating, and thatis unfortunately, self isolating, and that is were ipads and all the desktops, all the computers, laptops that have been given to children by the government over the last 12 months are going to unfortunately still be very necessary.— still be very necessary. esther, it is interesting, _ still be very necessary. esther, it is interesting, because _ still be very necessary. esther, it is interesting, because there - still be very necessary. esther, it is interesting, because there hasj is interesting, because there has been a lot of political controversy. the election committee, teachers were complaining anecdotally children were off school. —— elect our education committee. they back earlier. there will be a bit of a pause in scottish pupils very shortly but for english pupils, they go third week ofjuly. this ferment a live question, particularly with the delta variant selective. —— this remains. the delta variant selective. -- this remains. , . . , , remains. very much so. and it seems

11:49 pm
brought by uk tourists to the continent, wanted there to be a common front, but it appears clear, as did president macron, that it appears clear it is going to be each country individually deciding their policies. and even spain might look more closely at people who are double jab. and as we are a few day from the deadline for eu settled status, if anybody is watching this paper review, please do apply. more than 5 million people have applied and we have got either pre—settled status or settled status. it cannot be underlined — you will lose rights, and it is so important. please get somebody to help you. there is help out there. it is please get somebody to help you. there is help out there.— there is help out there. it is a very serious — there is help out there. it is a very serious point. _ there is help out there. it is a j very serious point. benedicte, esther, thank you for raising that. i am going to leave you with the

11:52 pm
any further past that, than a very good denmark team, and we'll be doing all we can to try and stop them. well, sadly, no fans are allowed to travel to amsterdam from the uk for the match, so wales supporters will be in the minority. we've been speaking to some based in the netherlands who'll be able to attend the game. ifeel like i have to be there with my red shirt, flag, or whatever else i can bring, making as much noise as possible. we'll be few in numbers, but we'll be loud and we'll be behind the boys to the end, and, yeah, ithink we'll do them proud and we'll do the people at home proud. we have got a chance. l i think it's going to be a tight l game, they're very similar to us. i hope we're going to nick it 1—0, but i have this horrible pit- in the bottom of my stomach that . says we're going to go to penalties, and i'm not sure _ i'm emotionally ready for that. the premier league has announced it'll fund more than 2,000 defibrillators across grassroots football, following christian eriksen's cardiac arrest. the midfielder collapsed during denmark's opening euro 2020 game against finland. medics performed cpr and used

11:54 pm
but she was unable to recover from the injury she sustained earlier this year, which also forced her to miss the french open. the draw for wimbledon took place earlier, and there are some exciting matches to look forward to, including the return of andy murray. he'll face the 24th seed nikoloz basilashvili in the first round. murray, who was beaten by italy's matteo berretinni in the second round at the queen's club last week, will play his first singles match at wimbledon since 2017. he had to rely on a wild card after his ranking dropped outside the top 100 due to injury. onto cricket. jos buttler will miss the rest of england's white—ball series against sri lanka. he led them to a comfortable win in the first t20 game on wednesday but picked up a calf injury during that match and missed yesterday's second win. there's one more t20 tomorrow, followed by three one—day internationals. dawid malan has been added to the odi squad. max verstappen was quickest in both practice sessions

11:56 pm
the second round of the women's pga championship in atlanta continues, with england's charley hull in the clubhouse on five under par. she was one under for the day. you can get full coverage on the third women's major of the year by heading to the golf page on the bbc sport website. and there is loads more on the website as well, but that is all your sport for now. hello there. friday evening brought some quite dramatic weather for some of us, especially across parts of england. through the western side of the midlands, there was some heavy, thundery rain. that was how it looked for a weather watcher in south staffordshire. and then to the northeast of london, and up into essex, some really vicious thunderstorms, with reports of localised flash flooding and even reports of a tornado in east london, or at the very least some squally gusty winds in amongst the showers, which did cause some damage.
11:57 pm
and the weather system responsible will still be quite close by as we head through this weekend. it will become slow moving across northern france, but from time to time, it will throw showers or longer spells of rain back in our direction. and we will see some showers during saturday, across england and wales particularly. through east anglia, into the midlands and wales, we could see some particularly heavy, thundery ones during the afternoon. more cloud for northeast england, southeast scotland. some patchy rain here. brighter skies for northern scotland and for northern ireland, and top temperatures between 14 and 22 degrees. so, some of those heavy showers in the south will continue during saturday evening and some more persistent rain is likely to start to slide across the channel islands, and that will come into play across southern counties of england as we get into the first part of sunday. elsewhere, we start sunday on a mainly dry note. those are your temperatures for sunday morning, nine to 14 degrees. so this weather system that will become very slow moving through the weekend is likely
11:58 pm
to throw a band of rain back northwards as we go through the day on sunday. there is uncertainty aboutjust how far north the rain will get, but it's likely to affect southern counties of england. it may spread into south wales and parts of the midlands as well. further north, it should be largely dry, with patchy cloud and some spells of sunshine. i think thicker cloud across the far northwest of scotland and temperatures between 18 and 22 degrees in most places. so, to sum up for the weekend, we will see some spells of sunshine, but there will be a few showers around on saturday. some of those could be quite heavy. and potentialfor some more persistent rain in southern parts as we head through sunday. and southern areas could see further rain during the week ahead. some of that rain could be quite heavy. further north, it looks drier. some of the highest temperatures likely to be across scotland, up to 24 degrees.
