one of the best known black hollywood actors of the past century, sidney poitier, has died. he was ninety four. mr poitier was the first black man to be awarded best actor at the academy awards in 1964. in the us, three white men who were convicted of chasing and then murdering ahmaud arbery, a black man, in the state of georgia, have been sentenced to life in prison. the incident sparked black lives matter protests. the security forces in kazakhstan are patrolling the streets of the biggest city, almaty, after nightfall, having apparently reasserted control following violent scenes there on wednesday and thursday. the authorities are conducting what they're calling �*anti— terrorist�* operations.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are broadcaster daisy mcandrew and rosamund urwin, media editor for the sunday times.. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... let's take a look at some of tomorrow's front pages already in, starting with... the independent — the paper leads tributes to the hollywood actor, sidney poitier, the first black man to win a best actor oscar, who died at the age of 94. the guardian reports how the government has been accused of �*meddling' over the colston statue case as the attorney general announces she may refer it to the court of appeal.

the i leads with what it describes as an �*nhs exodus�* of staff after it reports record numbers left the health service last year. turning to the telegraph — the panel of experts called thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation advises that new data shows a fourth jab won't be neccesary — at least for the time being. it also features a familiar face. former bbc breakfast host, louise minchin opens up about the threats sent by her stalker — some of them so bad, she says she couldn't show her husband. the mirror reports that double—vaxxed brits are rushing to book their summer holidays, travel agents say they're seeing a �*huge spike�* in bookings after restrictions were relaxed. and the express writes that lots of us are sitting on a cash pile of £1.7—trillion after saving money in the pandemic. so let�*s begin...

the roles he could possibly take. but also despite being external very good looking, occasionally he did get cast as romantic leads. those were very rare roles for him to get. the sadness is that there are plenty of essentials because he was an amazing actor that he thought when i felt he had to pass over. my favourite of his films is the night with him i hope that lots of people will be watching that in the coming days to remember what an extraordinary actor he was. i know, wasn't he? — extraordinary actor he was. i know, wasn't he? i _ extraordinary actor he was. i know, wasn't he? i think— extraordinary actor he was. i know, wasn't he? i think we _ extraordinary actor he was. i know, wasn't he? i think we should - extraordinary actor he was. i know, wasn't he? i think we should do - extraordinary actor he was. i know, wasn't he? i think we should do a l wasn�*t he? i think we should do a round robin at the end of what our favourite sidney poitier film is. daisy, it�*s interesting what rosamond was saying that he turned out certain roles because i think he famously turned down the role of sorrow to enact a fellow, he didn�*t want to be typecast as a black actor who played black girls with up a lot of the roles that he did choose to play did highlight the racial tensions that existed in the america of his time. w ,

strays the situation has made them and completely understandable way. so about time and i think this is a good decision. the interesting bit of the stories of the government is now launching an aggressive campaign to pressure building companies who are responsible for the scandal to step forward with a solution. so they are not actually imposing legislation which is what some people wanted. that is secondary if the building companies don�*t sort this out. the building companies don't sort this out. , , ., the building companies don't sort this out. , , . , this out. yes, exactly that. this treasury letter _ this out. yes, exactly that. this treasury letter that's _ this out. yes, exactly that. this treasury letter that's been - this out. yes, exactly that. this - treasury letter that's been reported treasury letter that�*s been reported by the bbc news night tonight suggesting that the taxpayer should no longer be on the hook for further cost of remediation. pressure is going to be put onto builders and to these developers. daisy, what do you make of the story?— make of the story? well, i totally arree make of the story? well, i totally a . ree that make of the story? well, i totally agree that this _ make of the story? well, i totally agree that this is _ make of the story? well, i totally agree that this is long _ make of the story? well, i totally agree that this is long overdue i make of the story? well, i totally. agree that this is long overdue and it's been— agree that this is long overdue and it's been a — agree that this is long overdue and it's been a scandal for these poor people _ it's been a scandal for these poor people who were stuck in properties that often—

be welcome news to the beleaguered holiday travel sector. but people are cautious, they are cautious about the cost of living, about a possible tax rise. there is a balancing act that needs to be done here. rosman, what did you make of this? . , , ., here. rosman, what did you make of this? absolutely. of course for some --eole this? absolutely. of course for some eo - ie the this? absolutely. of course for some people the pandemic _ this? absolutely. of course for some people the pandemic has _ this? absolutely. of course for some people the pandemic has resulted i this? absolutely. of course for some people the pandemic has resulted in| people the pandemic has resulted in a cut in spending without a simultaneous did not cut in their earnings. there are people that are saved because they haven�*t had to commute and their salary has been coming in as normal. they are the lucky ones and they will be sitting on some savings from this period. even for those people who haven�*t got blessed lucky people, even for those lucky people we note that bills are going up, we are having tax rises in april and national rates rising for the is quite

sensible behaviour to put some money aside at this time. some people might be preparing to spend it on a holiday, for many people it will be a much needed holiday. but i think a lot of people will want to have that question for what they know is coming. as you rightly say, the winners, lots of people have also been furloughed so there earnings have been cut by that. but the self employed whose earnings have dried up employed whose earnings have dried up and not support from the government. that situation has been quite dire and some people lost theirjob during the pandemic. these are the winners at the express are looking at. there are a lot of people who are very, very squeezed and have been over the past two years it due to the pandemic and outpace inflationary pressures and rising taxes in 2022 is looking pretty bleak for those people. indeed in a slightly more macro picture happening across europe are rising energy bills according to the

express, household space record prices on their energy bills. that�*s after the regulator looks set to raise the price month. despite that the bank of england expecting this boom in household savings to help power a faster economic recovery. it's power a faster economic recovery. it�*s interesting, again the winners and the losers, where do people choose to spend their money if they have any spare cash?— have any spare cash? actually, winners and — have any spare cash? actually, winners and losers, _ have any spare cash? actually, winners and losers, i _ have any spare cash? actually, winners and losers, ithink- have any spare cash? actually, winners and losers, i think it's| have any spare cash? actually, l winners and losers, i think it's a bit of— winners and losers, i think it's a bit of a — winners and losers, i think it's a bit of a weird headline. fearful britons— bit of a weird headline. fearful britons sitting on cash pile of 1.7 trillion — britons sitting on cash pile of 1.7 trillion i— britons sitting on cash pile of 1.7 trillion. i think most britons who have _ trillion. i think most britons who have made — trillion. i think most britons who have made money in the pandemic but as in because they saved money and created _ as in because they saved money and created a _ as in because they saved money and created a bit of it nest egg or a cumulative {1.7 trillion of savings, they are _ cumulative {1.7 trillion of savings, they are not — cumulative {1.7 trillion of savings, they are not the fearful ones. the fearful— they are not the fearful ones. the fearful ones are the ones i don't know— fearful ones are the ones i don't know how— fearful ones are the ones i don't know how they're going to pay for their— know how they're going to pay for their gas— know how they're going to pay for their gas bill. this is the dentist but i _ their gas bill. this is the dentist but i think— their gas bill. this is the dentist but i think it's a weird headline. it's but i think it's a weird headline. it's tied — but i think it's a weird headline. it's tied into the next story i know

outside we are not in the jury, the jury outside we are not in the jury, the jury reached their decision and that decision was to clear those for protesters of criminal damage. they admitted that they helped to topple the statue but they argued that its existence constituted a hate crime. and that is the argument that the jury and that is the argument that the jury decided was correct. and so my view is that we have to respect juries and that�*s the system we have and we should respect their views. i think she is playing a dangerous game here. you�*ve got to think what this looks like and really having a lot from this government on the culture war front. lot from this government on the culture warfront. it lot from this government on the culture war front. it is in unwise intervention.— culture war front. it is in unwise intervention. ., ., ., intervention. rosman, do you agree with that analysis _ intervention. rosman, do you agree with that analysis that _ intervention. rosman, do you agree with that analysis that this - intervention. rosman, do you agree with that analysis that this is - intervention. rosman, do you agree with that analysis that this is a - with that analysis that this is a discussion of of the legal system? yes, i think an awful lot of bologna has been spoken about this case in the last— has been spoken about this case in the last few days with so many people — the last few days with so many people saying this as an awful
