india. having bowled them out for 329 they started to lose wickets almost immediately. openers rory burns and dom sibley dismissed cheaply, then captain joe root was caught out forjust six runs. in came ben stokes — he managed 18 before being bowled by ravi ashwin who's been brilliant. more wickets to come, olly pope gone thanks to a brilliant catch by india's wicketkeeper risharbh pant. only a matter of time before england's first innings comes to an end, they're131—9, and facing up to a huge first innings deficit. serena williams is through to the quarter finals of the australian open. williams who's trying to win her 24th career grand slam title to pull level wiith margaret court's record, she needed three sets to beat aryna sabalenka in melbourne. former champion naomi osaka is also through to the last eight. she had to save two match points on the way to beating the former wimbledon champion garbine muguruza. and a shock this morning, us open champions and last year's

this years six nations championship, while england got their campaign back on track with victory against italy yesterday. patrick gearey rounds up the action for us, starting in edinburgh with a thriller between scotland and wales. everywhere in scotland the advice is to go slowly, steer carefully. everywhere bar one hole in the ice. for these scotsmen, speed is encouraged. ali price to darcy graham. a try threaded by scottish confidence. after all, they won in england last week. and when their captain, stuart hogg, steered into the skids, scotland led by 1a. but in icy edinburgh, the match was about to u—turn. first louis rees—zammit, then liam williams pulled wales closer to scotland's bumper. commentator: and wales do have the try. _ and they are roaring back into this game. they were back within two when zander fagerson failed to touch the brakes. these days, contact with the head tends to mean red. scotland down a man, wales are suing up three points. ——wales soon up three points. which made what happened here all the more incredible. hogg drove the scots back in front. try for scotland! and their captain. but running through the history of welsh rugby are players like rees—zammit. just 20, just brilliant. and louis rees—zammit, he is going to get there. what a try. what a try from this wonderful young winger. a try that deserved an audience — even a hostile one. a welsh bonus point. but their lead only a point. vulnerable to one last scottish charge. time up. breathe out. having lost to scotland at home last week, within three minutes england found themselves losing again — to italy. no masking the exasperation. but rusty wheels started to turn. england got levelled, picked up speed and thenjonny may took off. a twickenham touchdown befitting heathrow. fortunately quarantine not necessary. england ran in six tries in all, two of them scored by anthony watson. they've never lost to italy. so, in strange times, this result is the nearest this tournament has to a certainty. patrick geary, bbc news. jurgen klopp says liverpool's hopes of retaining the premier league title are over after defeat to leicester. they were 1—0 up with 12 minutes remaining, but went on to lose 3—1, liverpool goalkeeper alisson with another mistake. and with man city winning agains yesterday liverpool are now 13 points off the top and have now lost their last three games in a row. it's left manager klopp with some difficult questions to answer. so are you conceding the title then, juergen? yes. i can't believe, but yes. burnley beat crystal palace by the same scoreline, how about this from a goal from fullback matt lowton, dribbling past a couple of players, exchanging passes and then thumping home the volley. that's his first goal in 150 games, so might as well make it a good one. in the day's other game, villa drew 0—0 with brighton. and there's another brilliant volley to show you. this is ryanjack scoring the winnerfor rangers in their 1—0 win over kilmarock. it takes steven gerrard's sice 21 points clear at the top of the table, and ever closer to a first league title in ten years. they're unbeaten in the league this season, and could be crownd champions in early march. and there was a big shock in the boxing last night, as britian�*sjosh warrington lost for the first time in his career. warrington was the heavy favourite going into his fight against the mexican mauricio lara at wembley arena, but he was knocked out in the ninth round. he was taken to hospital for checks too. it was warrington�*s first fight in 16 months, and his defeat�*s been described as one of the biggest shocks in a british ring in recent years. ben ainslie and his british sailing team have it all to do if they're to qualify for next month's america's cup. they lost their latest two races in the qualifying prada cup to the italian luna rossa team off the coast of new zealand. that leaves aislie and his ineos team uk crew 4—0 down in the best of 13 series. there is some doubt though now about when the next races will be. originally scheduled for wednesday, they've been postponed because of a snap lockdown in auckland. england now all out for 134 in the second test against india, so they trail by 195 runs. they also have it all to do. that's all the sport for now, more later in the day here on the bbc news channel, but now it's time for the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what's in the sunday papers. with me is the sunday times journalist katherine forster, and features writer at the independent, james rampton. welcome to you both, thank you for being with us this sunday morning. let's show you the front pages briefly. a look ahead at the easing of lockdown on the front of the sunday telegraph. it reports in england we will be allowed to meet a friend on a bench and gather outdoors with our own household from the 8th of march. the paper also reports primary schools should open on the same date, secondary schools in the following week. the lead on the sunday times disagree slightly saying all children in england will return to school on the 8th of march. back in the pub garden for easter is the headline in the mail on sunday, reporting outdoor hospitality in england could open in time for easter weekend. a warning on the front of the observer that the uk repeatedly failed to heed early warnings about the coronavirus despite the government being on track to meet its target of vaccinating 15 million people by tomorrow. this must be the final lockdown is the front of the sunday express 63 conservative mps urge the prime minister to end all restrictions in england by the end of april and beginning of may with no more lockdown is in the future. an exclusive on the front page of the independent, nurses warn of a disaster for tens of thousands of covid patients discharged from hospitals as the need for long—term care cases increase pressure on community care services. katherine, let's start off with the sunday telegraph, as i say, their version is picnics and coffee in the park from the 8th of march. something we can all look forward to. yes. it is so nice to finally have some positive news after months and months of very dispiriting front pages. good news, it sounds like, of course details will be announced in february the 22nd. but it looks like from march the 8th we will able to meet a friend any part or outdoors and actually sit down with our hot chocolate or whatever. i went for a walk with my best friend and it was the highlight of my week having been that home with my family for so long. to be able to do this is wonderful. the telegraph is reporting primary schools will be going back from march the 8th and secondary schools from one or two weeks later. i hope the sunday telegraph is wrong and the sunday times is right. they say all schools will be back from march to eat. i do feel all the lovely going out to the pub which hopefully will happen from easter weekend in our bubbles with our own families, and other relaxation of sport, etc, that will be great but i feel by far the most important thing is for children to be back at school because they have paid out of the terrible price in this pandemic, as have the many parents, myself included, that have had them home for many months. positive news.— positive news. james, let look at the sunday _

interesting angle on that is as they put it no more scotch egg nonsense that they are saying, in other words the idea a bit substantial is going to be phased out. mr; the idea a bit substantial is going to be phased out.— the idea a bit substantial is going to be phased out. my goodness, feels like a lifetime _ to be phased out. my goodness, feels like a lifetime since _ to be phased out. my goodness, feels like a lifetime since august _ to be phased out. my goodness, feels like a lifetime since august though . like a lifetime since august though all this scotch egg brouhaha, doesn't it? hopefully, of course things always change because with remember what happened with christmas which was snatched away having been promised, we will be able to go and sit outside and eat a proper meal made by somebody else that we haven't cooked, which would be completely wonderful. here is hoping. apparently matt hancock, they have hit their 15 million target, managed successfully to vaccinate the 15 million most vulnerable people one day ahead of the target which seemed to me very ambitious when they set it. that is ambitious when they set it. that is a massive achievement. i have many criticisms of how the government handled this pandemic in many respects but the vaccine roll—out has been something of a triumph, and matt hancock apparently danced a jig ofjoy, which i canjust imagine. he is a character, isn't he? yeah, i suppose so. james, is he a character, there is a question for you? let's look at the sunday mirror. 15 million vaccinations, which ties in nicely with valentine's day. you are a ferocious critic of the government, let's face it, james, but you've got to give them credit on the vaccination scheme. absolutely. it is a bit like that famous —

sunday times has an interesting angle on - issue. katherine, the sunday times has an interesting angle on that, i has an interesting angle on that, which is vaccine trials for children, the idea of trials for coronavirus vaccines for children as young as five, beginning in days. an idea children will be immunised against coronavirus just as they are for other things when they are very young. this sounds absolutely amazing and let's hope this works out. they are going to start trialling a vaccine on children as young as five and later this month. what it potentially means is children will get if vaccination that may last for decades, it may need top ups, that will really change things because at the moment we are vaccinating the eldest downwards and there is no immediate plans to vaccinate children. they are hoping to do all over 18 is by september. if we can get everybody vaccinated to give the community for a long period of time, that would be a real game changer because coronavirus is not going away. as we've seen with these mutations, it is going to be changing and evolving people have to keep on top of this. i think this is very positive, and let's hope this will

tony blair is talking about that in the mail on sunday, big article on him saying the world needs to agree a form of covid passport. lots of people say that discriminates against people who have not

hate to see it but i think tony - vaccine, what is your take? i hate to see it but i think tony blair- vaccine, what is your take? i hate to see it but i think tony blair is l to see it but i think tony blair is right. i know he severely blotted his copy book at the end of his time as prime minister within the debacle of the invasion of iraq, but he speaks so much sense. whenever i hear him these days i think, a voice of reason. he was way ahead of the game in suggesting the single vaccination which i think has been a game changer, and i think he's right about this. yes, there's an element it will be a two tier system but how on earth are we to get businesses and travel going again if we don't have some sort of passport system? lots of other countries who unfortunately are far behind us in the vaccination programme will want to make sure people entering their country have been vaccinated so the idea of a passport that allows us to travel and, let's face it, restart the economy, is fantastic. and i think in ourway the economy, is fantastic. and i think in our way we cannot avoid it because we have to find a way of getting the economy and travel going again and this is a really good solution. �* , ., ., solution. let's go to the united states, katherine. _ solution. let's go to the united states, katherine. the - solution. let's go to the united states,

enough republican senators to convict him. but now he is hinting at a comeback, talking about, not specifically but it is out there maybe he can run in 202a. specifically but it is out there maybe he

last week in the sunday times saying he is having a fabulous time having stepped back, playing golf and resting and recuperating. but that does not mean that he has gone away for good at all. he has said he will be back and it is a long time until the next election and it was never likely he was going to be impeached because of republicans. having cut let's not forget, when he first ran he was an absolute joke, they thought it was beyond conception he would be their leader. but because he was so successful they are now, a lot of them go on the side and very divided over this. because he not been impeached this means he could potentially be free to run again in four years time or at the very least be the kingmaker. those of us who might have hoped to have seen the last of donald trump, i

seen as correct and lots of news are seen as beyond the pale that you cannot express. universities traditionally have been bastions of free speech, you are still finding out who you are you go there, you are experimenting and you are exposed to lots of different views and that is positive and that increasingly has been closed down with cancel culture and people feeling they are triggered and safe spaces and so on and so forth. i think that's very damaging because we've got to be able to listen to views that are different to yours otherwise you just live in a bubble and echo chamber. the government, it is part of its war on woke. free speech is very important. the culture secretary oliver dowden will be speaking to various charities and heritage bodies and saying you've got to defend our history, culture and heritage and not be ashamed of it, stand up for it. it is interesting, and i think it is overdue, of course it will upset quite a lot of people as well. james, this is your

from all of us. it was a cold start to the day but i think today will be the last day of the cold and chilly and icy starts. through this week things are changing in terms of weather. much milder, largely frost free overnight but quite unsettled with rain at times and often windy this week. today we are seeing strong winds whenever you are, cloudy and windy today. outbreaks of rain moving west today. outbreaks of rain moving west to east, fairly patchy rain. some of that rain may fall as freezing rain, into sub zero air and onto freezing surfaces which can create some really treacherous icy conditions for parts of scotland and northern england. east anglia and the south—east remaining dried for a good part of the day, outbreaks of rain elsewhere, gusty winds of 60—70 mph through the irish sea, wales for the western isles. mild in the west, colder in the east. enter the evening, cloud and rain sweeps across much of england and wales followed by clear skies moving in for scotland and northern ireland and later northern england, there could be scattered heavy downpours for the far north—west. overnight temperatures 5—9 c. significantly warmer than even during daytime temperatures this past week. in that it monday, here is that front lingering initial in at the east, that should slowly clear and we are left with the winds from the south or a south—westerly direction. the cold air mass is clearing toward the east and this much milder yellow colours coming in from the south or south—west. monday, rain initially for southern and eastern england and that should move toward the east. for that scattered showers for northern ireland, scotland and northern england. that should ease later and some sunshine breaking through. sunny spells in the south—east, perhaps london reaching 14 celsius on monday, much warmer than recently. even 8—10 for parts of scotland. the week ahead, fairly unsettled, rain at times, some sunshine in between, but not as cold as it has been lately. goodbye for now. this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. our top stories... president trump suggests he could make a political comeback after he's cleared of inciting insurrection in his impeachment trial. democrats are furious with the verdict. despite the results of the vote on donald trump's conviction in the court of impeachment, he deserves to be convicted. i believe he will be convicted in the court of public opinion. british prime minister borisjohnson comes under pressure from some of his own mps to end covid restrictions by the end of april. government ministers however urge caution... we are not going to be able to give certainty unless we are basing it on the evidence we have got that the vaccine is doing its job. so far the prognosis is pretty good but we have to keep monitoring it as the roll—out proceeds.
