hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me, broadcaster and royal commentator daisy mcandrew and former trade minister lord digbyjones. we lord digbyjones. will say hello to both injust a moment. we will say hello to both in just a moment. first, though, let's take a look the actual front pages. the death of queen elizabeth continues to dominate the front pages — the metro has a quote from the prince of wales, reflecting on his own emotions. another quote from the prince appears in the daily express, which features the royal couple viewing floral tributes at sandringham. the telegraph leads with plans

for queen elizabeth's state funeral next week, saying nhs staff are to join the procession. there's a striking image on the front of the i, showing some of the thousands queuing in london to pay their respects to the late queen. and another stage of that queue appears on the front of the ft, which leads on the talks between china and russia. the daily mirror's main story concerns the funeral of nine—year—old olivia platt—korbel, who died in a shooting in liverpool. and the sun leads on the news that some members of the royal family are to take part in the vigil in westminster hall and that the duke of sussex can attend in military uniform. good evening, welcome, both. thanks very much for coming along. of course we are going to start with

the story, another array of pictures and quotes especially. we are going to start with the metro — don't cry camille start me off, the quote they pick al from william. daisy, why don't you start us off? it pick al from william. daisy, why don't you start us off?— pick al from william. daisy, why don't you start us off? it has been start to see _ don't you start us off? it has been start to see the _ don't you start us off? it has been start to see the number— don't you start us off? it has been start to see the number of- don't you start us off? it has been i start to see the number of different walkabouts in the days following the queen's debt. we had the one with both of the brothers, harry and william, last weekend —— the queen's death. the flowers but also more importantly, talking to members of the public, who were there, and the quote that you fed out tells us, william and kate talking to members of the public who were consoling them, giving them commiseration sent

condolences, somebody became tearful, and he said, don't cry camille start me off, which... there has been a bit of a deliberate sea change —— don't cry, you will start me off. they are taking, in a way, they are picking up on what the king wants to do, starting with that speech he gave, which was much more emotional than the first speech... daisy, we are going tojump in there because i am afraid the sound quality is a bit dodgy on your line. we will try and reestablish that. front page of the daily express and another quote picked out there, the queen was like everyone's grandmother is what they have gone for. , ., ., ., ., for. yes, good evening, and hello. i have experienced _ for. yes, good evening, and hello. i have experienced personally, - for. yes, good evening, and hello. i have experienced personally, which| have experienced personally, which is that— have experienced personally, which is that i_ have experienced personally, which is that i did —

think, daisy, if you have that, because it takes a slightly different approach, angle. the headline there, harry can wear a uniform. what is the significance of this? , ., , uniform. what is the significance of this? , , ., ., uniform. what is the significance of this? , ., ., ., , this? this has been one of the only stickin: this? this has been one of the only sticking points _ this? this has been one of the only sticking points or— this? this has been one of the only sticking points or controversy - this? this has been one of the only sticking points or controversy so i sticking points or controversy so far about how the funeral has been arranged and the decisions that have been made, and the decision that we had been told was that when it comes to any of the ceremonial engagements, eitherthe to any of the ceremonial engagements, either the accession we saw the beginning of the week or moving the queen's often to westminster hall and the senior oils walking behind, and now the next vigil, the vigil of the princes that we saw once in scotland, where the queen's four children stood, including princess anne, the first time a woman had been able to do that, at the corners of the coffin, standing guard in the traditional

moment of mourning. but we had always been told andrew and harry not be able to wear their uniforms, even though they both have seen active service, apart from one occasion at the vigil in westminister hall where andrew would be able to. many people, myself included, thought that this decision was rather nonsensical because you either could or you could not and it seemed very weird to make it an exception for andrew but not for harry, and harry really had made rather a gracious statement, pretty much reading between the lines, saying, please stop obsessing about the uniforms. i will respect and honour my grandmother no matter what i am wearing. perhaps a little barbie, but now we have had this last minute you turn, from the king, from king charles, we think it is his decision. we are led to believe that harry himself did not plead or bag or have a big argument, but

those around him made the case, and i think more likely the public was beginning to grumble about this. it just seemed a bit petty that, yes, rules are rules, but when it comes to something like this, it would have heard harry's feelings desperately. he is very, very proud of his military service and things like the invictus games. the one thing i would say, is a bit unfair it is on the front page of the sun, because it is a scoop of the royal editor of the mirror!— because it is a scoop of the royal editor of the mirror! good of you to oint that editor of the mirror! good of you to point that out- _ editor of the mirror! good of you to point that out. thank _ editor of the mirror! good of you to point that out. thank you _ editor of the mirror! good of you to point that out. thank you for - editor of the mirror! good of you to point that out. thank you for that. l point that out. thank you for that. we are going to move onto a different story now. we're going move on to the financial times. we are running out of time. putin admits to chinese concerns over ukraine more in meeting with xi could you talk us through this? the

with a knee problem and has had multiple knee surgeries in recent years. now, at the age of 41, he says it's time to call time on an extraordinary career. for more on this, i've been getting the thoughts of our tennis correspondent russell fuller. the timing was a surprise because we are expecting to see him at the laver cup, the team, dig and he has invested in personally in london next week, but we also knew he had been having a few issues as he tried to go through all the rehabilitation required after a fourth the operation which took place last

summer and the encore trading which had been going well by all accounts had been going well by all accounts had hit something of a wall. and therefore when you are 41 years of age, and you've achieved as much as roger federer has in the game, you have to accept that the body just roger federer has in the game, you have to accept that the bodyjust is not willing any more, and that was the conclusion he had come to, that even his body had limitations and it was impractical to make a comeback at the age of 41. he does not want to be summit losing the first run of tournaments, he wants to be winning grand slams if he makes a comeback, and he decided on this occasion, his time is up. as you'd expect there's been a huge of reaction to federer�*s retirement on social media. wimbledon says... the great billiejean king called federer... and one of federer�*s great rivals,

way in early october. in cricket, england secured a 2—1 series win with victory in their final t20 match against india. chasing a target of 123, alice capsey hit the winning runs as england completed a seven—wicket win at bristol. the teams now go into a three—match one day international series, starting at hove on sunday. england's one day captainjos buttler says he and his team—mates want to honour her majesty the queen during their historic tour of pakistan. the squad arrived in the country earlier today ahead of seven t20 internationals, the first of which gets under way on tuesday. it's the first time england have toured pakistan in 17 years. her majesty the queen passing, we were deeply saddened by that. you have seen the reaction, especially at home in england, to her passing, and i think it cricket did a fantasticjob at the oval to honour

her and the way that game was played and some special scenes watching on the tv. so we hope to honour her in our own way as a t20 team and play in a fashion to do that. yorkshire cricket club have announced that they've reached a settlement agreement with former coach andrew gale and ex—bowling coach richard pyrah following their sackings last year. the pair were among 16 members of staff dismissed in december, in the fallout from the azeem rafiq racism scandal. the compensation package comes after gale and pyrah won a claim for unfair dismissal injune. and that is all your sport for now. from all of us here, good night. hello there. the temperature on thursday afternoon got up to 21 degrees in worcestershire, but it is going to turn cooler in the coming days, and if we don't reach 20 celsius anywhere in the uk on friday, that'll be the first

time since earlyjune. now, overnight tonight, we continue with those clear skies across many parts. still, though, some showers across northern scotland, the odd shower or two coming through the irish sea, into north wales and down the eastern side of england. temperatures still just about holding up to 11 celsius in the southeast of england, but elsewhere, those temperatures will be lower than last night, into single figures. but friday starts off with lots of sunshine for many of us. as we go through the day, once again, there will be a few showers coming in off the irish sea to north wales, up into northern areas of scotland, and in particular down the eastern side of england. and it's here where you'll really notice that rather strong north—northwesterly wind. gusts of 35, 40 miles an hour. it will make it feel particularly fresh, if not raw. highs of only 12 or 13 celsius. but further west, away from those strong winds, with lighter winds in that sunshine, temperatures 17 or 18,

possibly 19 degrees in south wales and southwest england. and of course, if you're heading to london in the coming days, it's looking dry. there will be some sunny spells. it will feel quite cool, particularly overnight. so if you are queuing in the overnight period, do bear that in mind, as temperatures will drop down into pretty low single figures in the coming nights. and that's because that area's coming all the way from the arctic. look at those blues there across the uk as we go into saturday morning. in fact, saturday morning could be one of the coldest starts that we've had since the end of may for many parts. an isolated frost possible in central and southern parts of england. lots of sunshine, though, again on saturday. just again one or two showers into the far north of scotland, perhaps one or two brushing those eastern coasts of england. but for most of us on saturday, staying dry with those sunny spells. temperatures, again, around about 14—17 or 18 celsius. for the rest of the weekend, this area of high pressure starts to build in a bit more from the west, and that means that the stronger winds that we'll have around the north sea will start to just ease off. look at the isobars there, just kind of going apart a little bit more.

so lighter winds there, not feeling quite as cold along those eastern coasts in the coming days and the weather set fair, really, as i say, for many of us up into the bank holiday monday and the queen's state funeral. bye— bye.
