hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are lance price, political commentator, and rosa prince, editor of the house magazine. tomorrow's front pages. let's start with the metro. "it all looks a bit fishy, rishi" — the metro says the chancellor has been running scared after failing to turn up to answer questions in the commons over the bid by david cameron to secure government—backed loans for greensill capital, the finance firm mr cameron worked for before it collapsed. the guardian writes that the scandal over the company's influence within the government has deepened and that one of britain's most senior civil servants began working as an adviser to the finance firm while still serving in whitehall. the daily mail also looks at the lobbying row, saying bill crothers spent several months as government procurement head and a greensill board adviser. meanwhile, the telegraph leads on the data from the office for national statistics which shows 23% of registered covid deaths reflect those who have died with the virus, rather than from it. the times says some companies have more than halved the costs of coronavirus tests for holiday—makers, after the government threatened to crack down on "profiteering" companies. the financial times reports on the news thatjohnson &johnson has delayed the roll—out of its vaccine in europe, after us health agencies called for a pause on the jab�*s use while they investigate incidents of rare blood clots. the sun's front page focuses on the road map out of lockdown, saying 1a million pub bookings have been made by brits wanting to secure an outdoor pub table. they might have to wait until may. let us begin, we are going to look, rosa and lance, at the i newspaper first, vaccines were under 40s in six weeks. speaking as someone in the 45-49 six weeks. speaking as someone in the 45—49 category, lance, i say i feel they have missed out the key moment, my group plasma queue moment, my group plasma queue moment, but i guess that was that don't make this money for stability moving ahead. —— it is moving ahead. it is moving had quickly. the vaccination target to target over 50, those working in health and social care and those with particular health issues, was met two days early, and so the i has not suggested it could be at the end of may, which is only six weeks or so away from now, the people in their late 30s could be invited. james, you would've been in there already! i hope i would be long gone by then. rosa prince, editor of the house magazine, i cannot wait to get to the vaccination centre to see the people of my age! how are we all ageing? how is my group ageing? who is grey, who is not great? who is falling apart? in my 0k in comparison to everyone else? is that a stupid thing to thing about? laughter nevertheless, the under 40s, it is going ahead. find nevertheless, the under 40s, it is going ahead-— nevertheless, the under 40s, it is auoin ahead. �* , going

other countries as well. let's look at the real numbers behind the pandemic, the daily telegraph focuses on this on his front page. a quarter of virus that's not caused by covid. and this is about, lance, the fact that people die with covid, not from covid. it people die with covid, not from covid. , ., ., ~' people die with covid, not from covid. , ., , covid. it is looking at figures, from the

statistics, that suggest that people, though they did have covid, the cause of death might have been sipping us. it is misleading, or it does not paint the entire picture, because we always knew those with underlying health issues were affordable to the virus and it may be that those issues were what led to their deaths —— were vulnerable to. having the covid virus in their system may have precipitated to death, may have brought it in earlier, but the statistics in the telegraph, what they've done politically is encouraged those, on the right of the conservative party and their supporters in the media, who think that the government has been too cautious and that the picture is much brighter than boris johnson and matt hancock and others are letting on, and that therefore it should be possible actually to ease the lockdown faster than it has eased already, but frankly that ain't going to happen.- eased already, but frankly that ain't going to happen. rosa prince, do ou

wave, injanuary do know is that at the peak of the second wave, in january and february, there were over second wave, injanuary and february, there were over 30,000 people in uk hospitals, england, wales hospitals coupled with the virus and that is an astonishing figure and it was overwhelming the health service, and the measures we have taken, the vaccination and the lockdown, have brought that down to a very lower figure and the telegraph are now saying the number of deaths caused in the uk by kern virus is something like 4.9%... know, is the answers your question, we probably will not ever

establishing a democratic and stable government there, but nor has it been a complete failure for sub i think afghanistan is a better place for the contribution american and other allies, including the british, have made there, and hopefully the afghan forces are in a much stronger position, so the british forces will leave at more or less the same time. we have not had much of a front—line role

that note, rosa prince, lance price, it has been a pleasure. for lance price, rosa prince, by for now. hello, good evening. i'm austin halewood with your latest sports news. we're going to start with football because it's been an historic night for northern ireland's women. they've qualified for the european championships — the first major tournament in their history — after a playoff win over ukraine. northern ireland led 2—1 after the first leg and then comfortably won 2—0 this evening in belfast to book their place at the tournament next summer. nicola mccarthy reports. a historic night for northern ireland was sparked by the veteran marissa callaghan. the cliftonville midfielder�*s goal early in the second half settled the nerves. it's marissa callaghan who may well have scored the goal that sends northern ireland to the euros! 3—1 down on aggregate, the onus was now on ukraine — ranked 25 places above their hosts — to respond. but instead, they lost their heads towards the end. and nadene caldwell sealed a memorable victory in stoppage time. caldwell! sometimes dreams do come true! northern ireland are heading to the euros! yeah, it's unbelievable for the country, and you know there's going to be a ripple effect for years to come, with us qualifying for the euros. so it's absolutely unbelievable, and women's football in northern ireland can push on from here on. kenny shiels and his squad have upset the form book both in the group stages and now in the playoffs and have truly earned their place in the finals in england next summer, the very first time northern ireland's women have qualified for a major championship. the celebrations here will be long and loud. nicola mccarthy, bbc news. yeah, special result. congratulations to them. well, meanwhile, it was another disappointing night for england's women. they lost 2—0 in a friendly to canada in stoke. that was the lionesses' second defeat in four days. they've only won two of their last nine matches. jo currie watched that one. this was by far from being a vintage england performance. it got off to the worst possible start, going behind to an early evelyne viens goal, just two and a half minutes in. some may say the goal should have ruled out for offside. however, the referee let it stand. after that, it was a fairly lackluster game. the lionesses really struggled to create chances. their best opportunity came in the first half, whenjordan nobbs forced a save over the bar with a shot from distance. and then, ten minutes from time, england conceded again. a bad mistake from goalkeeper karen bardsley, took far too long on the ball and was caught out on the line by michelle prince, to cement a 2—0 victory for canada. it means the lionesses finish this international window on the back of two defeats. and it also means players are now left wondering if they've played themselves in — and, in some cases, out of — a spot in that team gb squad for this summer's olympic games. head coach hege riise now has three months and she has some tough decisions to make. and the players, well, they have a nervous wait. and wales' women were also in friendly action tonight at home to denmark. they came from a goal down at half—time to draw i—i, jess fishlock there with the equaliser. chelsea have reached the last four of the champions league for the first time in seven years. they went into the second leg of their quarterfinal with a 2—0 lead over porto — and that never really looked like it would be under too much threat in a dull game in seville. the standout moment, though, came in injury time from porto's mehdi taremi. what a spectacular overhead kick that was. but it was too little, too late, and chelsea will face either real madrid or liverpool in the semi—finals. paris saint germain are also into the last four after they knocked out the reigning champions, bayern munich. eric maxim choupo—moting scored the only goal of the game for bayern in paris, but that wasn't enough for the german side. psg going through on away goals, with the score 3—3 on aggregate. england all rounder ben stokes has been ruled out of the rest of the indian premier league with a broken finger. he picked up the injury in the field playing for the rajasthan royals yesterday against punjab kings. the royals are also missing jofra archer, who's had surgery on his hand and treatment for an ongoing elbow issue. now, there are some new faces and fresh perspectives in the coaching party for the british and irish lions' tour to south africa this summer, and head coach warren gatland says it'll make player selection pretty difficult. scotland head coach gregor townsend will lead the attack, on his first tour as part of the coaching set—up, along with the scots' defence coach steve tandy. leinster�*s robin mcbryde will take charge of the forwards and neiljenkins returns for his fourth tour as kicking coach. gatland's expected to name a 36—man squad next month. and already, there's been a lot of names thrown into the mix by the whole coaching party. we've probably got a number of names that we were all... i suppose, out of the 36, it might�*ve been 20—odd, 22, 23 names where we're all across the board... maybe one difference, but how difficult it's going to be... ican't imagine! and so much competition. between us, we had 50—odd names. right, 50 doesn't go into 36. no, it doesn't, no, yeah. and mark cavendish said he'd never get tired of winning, and he's done it again. following his first victory in three years, on stage two of the tour of turkey yesterday, he went and took stage three, in another bunch sprint to the line in alanya. he contemplated retirement at the end of last season, but his return to the deceuninck-quick—step team is really paying off. and that is all your sport for now. have a very good night. hello. april so far has been colder and drier than average, and the weather for now is in no mood to change that pattern. so, plenty of dry weather continuing for the next few days, but of course the thing which has got most of us talking is just how chilly it feels. there's more of that to come as well and more of those frosty nights. it is high pressure. whenever you see this, you think, "well, it's dry." however, as we saw on tuesday, there were showers around. and there will still be a few in the day ahead, though most will stay dry after what is another widespread frost to start the day, another hard frost in parts of scotland — down to —6, for example, in the northeast. one or two mist and fog patches. they will clear and we're left with quite bit of sunshine. just some areas of patchy cloud around and, you canjust see it here, one or two showers developing, more especially towards the western side of the uk. now, the winds for the most part are light, but look at the arrows here pushing in towards that north sea coast of scotland and down the eastern side of england, coming in from the sea, which is quite chilly at this time of year, and that's why these temperatures are just showing 7, 8 or 9 celsius. so with the onset of that northeasterly breeze, eastern areas will actually be colder, whereas we're 13 in cardiff and plymouth and i3 probably towards western parts of northern ireland. any showers that have popped up will fade away as we get on into the evening. we have another largely clear and cold night to come into thursday morning, and again one or two mist and fog patches around. and there will be another widespread frost, although we're not expecting it to be quite as hard as it's been over recent nights. how's thursday shaping up? most dry with sunny spells, but on that northeasterly breeze, we will bring in a few showers to parts of eastern england, into the southeast, perhaps the east midlands as well. if anything, that breeze will be a touch fresher, too. for the most part, though, elsewhere, the winds are light. there is warmth in the sunshine if you get some of that. you certainly feel it as temperatures, away from the chilly east, will be close to the average for the time of year. big picture going friday into the weekend, there are weather fronts trying to move in from the atlantic towards northern ireland and scotland, initially perhapsjust bringing a bit more cloud. but deeper on into the weekend, more especially on sunday, there is a chance that, here, we could see a bit of rain, whereas elsewhere it stays dry. this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. us and european authorities paused the roll—out of the
