Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are kate proctor, editor of politics home, and jonathan walker, political editor of the Birmingham Post and mail. Lets bring you up to date on the front pages, and we have most of them in now. The guardian leads with borisjohnson facing mounting anger after he decided not to isolate despite a member of his Team Testing positive for Covid 19 on his scotland trip. The Daily Mail accuses the government of more hypocricy as it calls for the Mp Alok Sharma to quarantine in a hotel like everyone else, after he travelled to Red List countries for work. The times leads with the headline no more Lockdowns, as official figures show a clear fall in coronavirus cases. The Dailly Mirror celebrates Team Gb� s Haul Of Fame after Laura Kennys fifth Gold Medal and the Relay Teams bronze. The sun adds that it was a stellar day for Team Gb� s women, as they won the most medals in a single day in what it calls a Girl Power Glory charge. The daily telegraph writes that the archbishop of york has criticised the london Metropolitan Elite for treating people who are proud to be english as backwardly xenophobic. Right, shall we pick up where we left off . In fact, jonathan, do you want to shake us off this time around with the front of the times . No more Lockdowns, and infertility succumbing from Neil Ferguson in particular, this is coming from. King is probably unfair to him, i dont thing He Wanted is, but he thought. Neil ferguson. One of those who seemed keen on the necessity for Lockdowns. Those who seemed keen on the necessity for Lockdowns. Yeah, so Neil Ferguson necessity for Lockdowns. Yeah, so Neil Ferguson was necessity for Lockdowns. Yeah, so Neil Ferguson was known necessity for Lockdowns. Yeah, so Neil Ferguson was known as necessity for Lockdowns. Yeah, so Neil Ferguson was known as professor locked out, a former member of stage and on the steeper really tough or tough measures to control current of and control covid, and he was also quite pessimistic and what weve happening at this stage. He says the news is really good. Apparently we are reaching The End of this, we are not going to see a further increase in infections. The trajectory is downwards. I thing a lot of people will be pleased to hear this and it does match the mood at the moment. I think there is a bit of a sense out there that we are coming to The End of this. People believe we are coming to The End of this. They certainly believe that the vaccinations are working, apart from that sort of small group of people who are anti vaccination, so it actually raises some interesting issues and potentially some challenges for Boris Johnson issues and potentially some challenges for borisjohnson and his government. I mean, what he is known for as well as delivering, he would say, brexit is dealing with coronavirus and getting us all vaccinated is coronavirus. What next . What is he going to offer this country . Politics starts moving into something more like normal, he faces the challenge of convincing the country is something else to offer. It the country is something else to offer. ,. , ~. , offer. It is interesting take on that, because offer. It is interesting take on that, because i offer. It is interesting take on that, because i suppose offer. It is interesting take on that, because i suppose a offer. It is interesting take on that, because i suppose a lot| offer. It is interesting take on l that, because i suppose a lot of offer. It is interesting take on that, because i suppose a lot of us had not really thought beyond coronavirus, and youre right. There comes a point when getting back to normal also gets on mac means get back to normal politics. Means getting back to. That is interesting, kate, because there is going to be a debate about who owns a success. Borisjohnson wants to own success, and you can hardly blame him, because you certainly get the brickbats when things go wrong. Yeah, the premonition will talk about yeah, the premonition will talk about the yeah, the premonition will talk about the success of the Vaccine Rollout, about the success of the Vaccine Roll out, which i think is unquestionable. There are some very, very positive unquestionable. There are some very, very positive stats about how many adults very positive stats about how many adults are very positive stats about how many adults are now fully vaccinated and how many adults are now fully vaccinated and how many have a first dose, and if you do how many have a first dose, and if you do have how many have a first dose, and if you do have 16 and 17 Euros coming into this you do have 16 and 17 Euros coming into this as you do have 16 and 17 Euros coming into this as well, that would be another into this as well, that would be another million people that could be vaccinated another million people that could be vaccinated quite quickly, but Professor Ferguson in this piece, he is saying Professor Ferguson in this piece, he is saying that it is possible now that there is saying that it is possible now that there will not be any more Lockdowns and that we will be in transitioning into a period of time where transitioning into a period of time where we transitioning into a period of time where we learn to live with the virus. Where we learn to live with the virus. But where we learn to live with the virus, but he does caveat all that try virus, but he does caveat all that by saying virus, but he does caveat all that by saying that shutdowns should not be ruled by saying that shutdowns should not be ruled out if there are more variance. Be ruled out if there are more variance, so i think Neil Ferguson is trying variance, so i think Neil Ferguson is trying to variance, so i think Neil Ferguson is trying to be slightly cautious. The idea is trying to be slightly cautious. The idea that there are no more strict the idea that there are no more strict Lockdowns im sure will be music strict Lockdowns im sure will be music to strict Lockdowns im sure will be music to the ears of so many people, although music to the ears of so many people, although it music to the ears of so many people, although it is music to the ears of so many people, although it is difficult, is it not . We have although it is difficult, is it not . We have been here before with these debates we have been here before with these debates about Lockdowns, but this is probably. Debates about Lockdowns, but this is probably, if Neil Ferguson and also professor probably, if Neil Ferguson and also professorjohn edmonds, another professor john edmonds, another Stage Professorjohn edmonds, another stage adviser, they are good sources, stage adviser, they are good sources, there really credible academics, and we should take what they say academics, and we should take what they say seriously. We academics, and we should take what they say seriously. They say seriously. We want it to be true it they say seriously. We want it to be true it helps they say seriously. We want it to be true it helps. I they say seriously. We want it to be true it helps. I want they say seriously. We want it to be true it helps. I want to they say seriously. We want it to be true it helps. I want to circle true it helps. I want to circle back if i may, jonathan, if i names shamelessly pick on your knowledge of the midlands, and asked the question about, i can think of the 2015 election and maybe more recently as well, when we have talked about the midlands being key targets for both labour and the conservatives. How does a look at the moment in the wake of that huge success that borisjohnson enjoyed in 2019 . In terms of the political mood in the midlands . The conservatives won a series of seats the midlands . The conservatives won a series of seats not the midlands . The conservatives won a series of seats not so the midlands . The conservatives won a series of seats not so much the midlands . The conservatives won a series of seats not so much in the midlands . The conservatives won a series of seats not so much in the l a series of seats not so much in the birmingham area, they made one thing and bring in birmingham itself, but in this running area. It has gradually turned blue a lot of those seeds. He did notjust happen in 2019 at the last election, but that was the final push, so you have this wall of blue seats around birmingham. I have to say that people i have spoken to, labour mps ive spoken to, they fear that it will get worse. They think they can actually lose more seeds and possibly even lose control of Birmingham City council, which they currently control, and the conservatives are fairly gung ho still. It seems, to be honest to me, a little bit surprising. You have to look at the map and say, what is left . What are they really take . But the tories think they can do even better and win even more seats here in birmingham and elsewhere, and of course the conservatives did win the election for the West Midlands they are earlier this year and for the second time West Midlands mayor. A bigger majority than the first time they won the mayoral election. It was a bit of a Shock And Surprise the first Sunday Tories won the election for West Midlands mayor. This time, the second time around, with an even bigger majority, so. But i think politics is quite unpredictable and we cant quite know what is going to happen. If it is true, if it does happen that coronavirus stops being the number one issue, i think everything is up for grabs, but certainly it is still looking bad for labour in the West Midlands. Brute looking bad for labour in the West Midlands. ~. ~ looking bad for labour in the West Midlands. ~. ,. ,. , midlands. We talk about the redwall in the north of midlands. We talk about the redwall in the north of england, midlands. We talk about the redwall in the north of england, but midlands. We talk about the redwall in the north of england, but as midlands. We talk about the redwall in the north of england, but as You L in the north of england, but as you say, the midlands was putting what interesting. Fascinating to hear your views on that for forgive me for diverting slightly from the papers to talk about that, kate, but good to have a regional Expert Hero we have got him. Take is on if you would to the front page of the mail the charge of hypocrisy which is being made twice against two different ministers, kate. The Daily Mailfrom different ministers, kate. The Daily Mail from pages different ministers, kate. The Daily Mail from pages gone different ministers, kate. The Daily Mail from pages gone off different ministers, kate.

He has been caught out by the Daily Mail for not quarantining after some of these trips He Quarantining after some of these trips he has been doing. I would say all the trips he has been doing. I would say all the visits trips he has been doing. I would say all the visits have been publicised by the all the visits have been publicised by the government previously, but it is the by the government previously, but it is the notion he has gone to six red countries is the notion he has gone to six red countries and he has not had to do the hotel countries and he has not had to do the Hotel Quarantine like everybody else, the the Hotel Quarantine like everybody else, the price of these hotels is huge. Else, the price of these hotels is huge. And else, the price of these hotels is huge, and for families coming back from huge, and for families coming back from mexico, it is over £2000 to be slapped from mexico, it is over £2000 to be slapped on from mexico, it is over £2000 to be slapped on their holiday bills, so that is slapped on their holiday bills, so that is where the charge of hypocrisy comes from. It is completely unfair, one rule for ministers, completely unfair, one rule for ministers, one row for everybody else, ministers, one row for everybody else, but ministers, one row for everybody else, but if ministers, one row for everybody else, but if You Like im in very small else, but if You Like im in very small minority here. I feel like event small minority here. I feel like event is small minority here. I feel like event is so small minority here. I feel like event is so important to the country. Event is so important to the country, we want this climate Change Summit country, we want this climate Change Summit to country, we want this climate Change Summit to go really well and have positive summit to go really well and have positive outcomes, then i think Alok Sharma positive outcomes, then i think Alok Sharma needs to make these visits and if sharma needs to make these visits and if orienting was to completely stymie and if orienting was to completely stymie any chance he had of getting around stymie any chance he had of getting around the stymie any chance he had of getting Around The World and doing hisjob, then i Around The World and doing hisjob, then i think Around The World and doing hisjob, then i think that is a problem.

As long as he is on the pcr tests and it is absolutely essential, critical government work, which they might be able to government work, which they might be able to make the case that it is, i think able to make the case that it is, i think there able to make the case that it is, i think there could be an argument for him to think there could be an argument for him to not think there could be an argument for him to not quarantine and, yeah, rip my mentions him to not quarantine and, yeah, rip my mentions on twitter you him to not quarantine and, yeah, rip my mentions on twitter my mentions on twitter you might have a bit of my mentions on twitter you might have a bit of a my mentions on twitter you might have a bit of a fight my mentions on twitter you might have a bit of a Fight On Social Have a bit of a fight on Social Media after the paper reviews are over, but i am sure youre used to that in yourjob. Jonathan, two ministers in the Firing Line over this. Apart from Alok Sharma, and as kate says, the Pcr Test Point is an important one, borisjohnson is also in the sights this time of the guardian. In the sights this time of the guardian in the sights this time of the guardian. ,. ,. ,. , guardian. Yeah, a brilliant story by the guardian. Guardian.

Or chanson when he was travelling there. Or chanson when he was travelling in scotland was sharing an aeroplane with somebody who tested an aeroplane with somebody who tested positive for Covid 19 boris tested positive for Covid 19 borisjohnson for it tested positive for Covid 19 Boris Johnson for it seems he tested positive for Covid 19 borisjohnson for it seems he is not going borisjohnson for it seems he is not going to borisjohnson for it seems he is not going to go borisjohnson for it seems he is not going to go into Isolation. The argument going to go into Isolation. The Argument Numberten is going to go into Isolation. The Argument Number ten is making, and this is Argument Number ten is making, and this isall Argument Number ten is making, and this isatia Argument Number ten is making, and this is all a little bit off the record. This is all a little bit off the record. It this is all a little bit off the record, it is sources rather than official record, it is sources rather than official spokespersons as far as i can tell, official spokespersons as far as i can tell, is official spokespersons as far as i can tell, is that he was not right next can tell, is that he was not right next to can tell, is that he was not right next to this can tell, is that he was not right next to this person, that they were quite next to this person, that they were quite far next to this person, that they were quite farapart at next to this person, that they were quite far apart at other ends of the aeroplane, quite far apart at other ends of the aeroplane, so that makes it ok, but the guardian appears to have other sources the guardian appears to have other sources which suggest that that is not rcatty sources which suggest that that is not really true and that they were white not really true and that they were white close to each other and that the prime white close to each other and that the Prime Minister, therefore, rcatty the Prime Minister, therefore, really should be going into Isolation'>Self Isolation quite close to but i think Isolation quite close to but i think that Isolation quite close to but i think that this plays into the sense, think that this plays into the sense, as we have just been discussing, that the government does not obey discussing, that the government does not obey their own rules, that there is one not obey their own rules, that there is one rutli not obey their own rules, that there is one rulli element for the rest of us, and is one rulli element for the rest of us, and this is one rulli element for the rest of us, and this is something to really resent us, and this is something to really resent us, and this is something to really resent us, and this is something to really resent people really resentful of Dummett Resent people really resentful of dummett cummings, travelling with hism of dummett cummings, travelling with hism of dummett cummings, travelling with his. , very quickly that you turn because they saw how much damages was doing. You get the impression from the Guardian Piece the Prime Minister is going to try to ride this one out, but The One think he has in his favour is that we do not quite know what is true, if you was far away from the other person at the other end of the aeroplane. I do not think there is any way of proving that, so as long as he sticks to his guns and insisted they did not get too close to each other, maybe he will be able to do this one out and avoid going to do this one out and avoid going to Isolation for second time, because he is only quite recently emerged from Isolation. Because he is only quite recently emerged from Isolation. Yeah, if it was a scheduled emerged from Isolation. Yeah, if it was a scheduled flight, emerged from Isolation. Yeah, if it was a scheduled flight, the emerged from Isolation. Yeah, if it was a scheduled flight, the risk emerged from Isolation. Yeah, if it was a scheduled flight, the risk is. Was a scheduled flight, the risk is another passenger taking a sneaky photo of the Prime Minister to scented their mates happen to catch it next. That is. To be fair, we do not know and nobody knows except those involved. Kate, take us onto the daily telegraph. This is a great story, the archbishop of york. What is he saying .

He is basically saying that there is a problem with the i that there is a problem with the Metropolitan Elite and not really allowing celebratory acts of patriotism in this country for abusing patriotism in this country for abusing that metropolitans need to stop ignoring their fellow English Man and stop ignoring their fellow English Man and rekindle national unity, and actually man and rekindle national unity, and actually he man and rekindle national unity, and actually he is really strong what he says actually he is really strong what he says he actually he is really strong what he says he is actually he is really strong what he says. He is sort of saying that people says. He is sort of saying that people are being too. As if theyve people are being too. As if theyve got backwards ideas, just if theyve got backwards ideas, just if they want theyve got backwards ideas, just if they want to celebrate being english, and this is something that rcatty english, and this is something that really needs to be stamped out. If you this really needs to be stamped out. If you this is really needs to be stamped out. If you this is an unusual intervention.

We have heard this so much from can submit politicians over the so much from can submit politicians over the last so much from can submit politicians over the last year that it is a little over the last year that it is a little bit over the last year that it is a little bit interesting to have it come little bit interesting to have it come from a religious figurehead. In particular come from a religious figurehead. In particular he talks about englishness and that there should be an expensive vision of what it means to be an expensive vision of what it means to be english as part of the united kingdom, to be english as part of the united kingdom, but this is quite strange because, kingdom, but this is quite strange because, at the moment, we have got the olympics going on and we are very much the olympics going on and we are very much talk about Team Gb and there very much talk about Team Gb and there is very much talk about Team Gb and there is a very much talk about Team Gb and there is a whole great deal of national there is a whole great deal of national pride going into that, so it is a national pride going into that, so it is a really good piece for discussion, definitely. Jonathan, it is interesting, discussion, definitely. Jonathan, it is interesting, discussion discussion, definitely. Jonathan, it is interesting, discussion of is interesting, discussion of englishness. One of the areas, on The One hand, people feel proud to be english in england, but measures to help with that do not always get support. I am thinking of thejohn prescott, when he was deputy Prime Minister, and his english Regional Assemblies, what about us . And that in The End people do not fancy it. Nobody seems to have answered this problem about how you preserve English England within the unit. Know, and the archbishop does talk about this on The Telegraph reported. He talks about the need for more devolution to endless regions. I do not agree with the gist of the Telegraphs Interpretation of his argument, which is that a London Elite are preventing us from being patriotic still i dont think thats true, but there is an issue with england. We dont know how what are English Identity is meant to be, and the fact we had devolution in scotland, devolution in wales, he sort of forced English People to some extent to confront the fact the effect, and maybe at least we cannot colours of british, we have to Colour Self english and we have to think about what that means. We have not been very good at doing that. As you say, one of the answers politicians gave in the past, what about having english Regional Assemblies . But it turns out people dont want that. So relying on devolution to the regions as a sort of solution to the English Question does not really work, but nobody is, for the better idea so far. ,. , nobody is, for the better idea so far. ,. , nobody is, for the better idea so far. ,. ,. , nobody is, for the better idea so far. ,. ,. , far.

Maybe a slightly cheeky way of getting us onto the olympics im going to give you three papers together and give you three papers together and give you both a chance to talk about this one is the sun, then the mirror and The Telegraph, and it essentially different ways, kate, they are celebrating the remarkable achievements of Team Gb.

It reminds me, i had no idea what. I think i have mispronounced it, it was one of the sailing events, but i was one of the sailing events, but i was baffled by it initially, and the thing is, whether it is that or skateboarding, it has opened up lots of things to people.

Im Olly Foster with the latest from the Bbc Sport centre. Team gb are back up fourth in the Medal Table at the tokyo olympics. Thats after two more golds on the 14th day of the games. One of them came in the velodrome, where Laura Kenny became the most successful female british olympian. She and Katie Archibald won the madison. Kenny is also the first british woman to win golds at three consecutive games. The british pair dominated the 120 lap race, winning ten of the 12 sprints on offer to finish on 78 points, over twice as many as the danes who finished second. Out of all the Medals Kenny has won, this fifth gold seems to mean the most. Ive never wanted to win a race so badly in all my life, and that was The One. I messaged jason this morning. Isaid, i feel like my olympics end today. Like, that was really our main target. I love the team pursuit, but it was giving me fears like ive never had before. Once that was out of the way, its almost hard to say, but i felt relieved because The One race i really wanted to do was coming. And all of a sudden, we went and did it Jack Carlin added to his silver in the Team Sprint with a bronze in the individual event. He beat russian Denis Dmitriev for a spot on the podium, along with two dutch riders who won Gold And Silver. Team gbs 18th gold of the games came from Kate French in the Modern Pentathlon. Its been a sport thats provided a great deal of success since the Womens Event was introduced in 2000. She went into the third discipline well placed, but a clear round in the Show Jumping took french up to fifth for the final two events, which are combined in a so called laser run, when the athletes run four 800 metre laps with Range Shooting in between. French made up the 15 second gap on the leader to become britains second womens Modern Pentathlon champion. Still no gold for great britain, though, at the athletics. They did come very close, though. They were pushed into silver by 100th of a second in the mens 4x100 Metre Relay while the women took bronze in their race. There was also an emotional silver for Laura Muir in the 1,500 metres. Lydia campbell reports. This is the face of determination and then elation. Laura muir crossing the line, finally in a podium position. Muir has been on a quest for a Global Medalfor nearly a decade. This was the race of her life. And approaching the final 200 metres, it was no longer a question of whether she would medal, it was a question of which one. Past Sifan Hassan and into second, but unable to chase down kenyas faith kipyegon, muir crossed the line with a british record and the silver medal. And Laura Muir, smashing her personal best i worked so hard for so long. I mean, ive been fourth, fifth twice, sixth, seventh at the global champs every year since 2015, and itsjust like, with everything last year thats been postponed, not knowing if it was going to go ahead, and i got a silver, and against Faith And Sifan as wellm in the mens 4x100 Metre Relay, Gold And Silver was decided byjust one hundredth of a second, Team Gbs Nethaneel Mitchell Blake leading in the home straight. Nethaneel mitchell bla ke. And hes taken on the line, i think, by italy its proof that the smallest of margins can cause the biggest of hurts. Mitchell blake consoled by his team mates, reminding him that hed just won a silver medal. This man ran an amazing leg. He looked a bit disappointed, but this is a team. Hes been part of one of the top three fastest teams that weve ever had in british history. This mans a legend and he brought us home in incredible style. And in the womens relay, No One could get close to the jamaicans in first, but Team Gb anchored by Daryll Neita finished with a bronze, matching their performance in rio five years ago. We knew that we were going to get around and we knew we could medal. Im just so proud. This is my first ever olympic medal and i know this is the beginning of something great, and im just so, so chuffed. So chuffed podiums in three events and nine athletes with medals around their necks this has been a successful day on the track for Team Gb. Lydia campbell, bbc news. Well, there are more possibilities for success tomorrow, the penultimate day of the games, as Team Gb look to at least stay fourth in that Medal Table. Tom daley is one of those in action at 7am uk time. Hes qualified for the semifinal of the ten metre platform. Both the semifinal and final are tomorrow, as he looks to add to the gold he won in the synchro last week. Lets move away from the olympics now. Rain brought an early close to play at Trent Bridge on the Third Day of the first test between england and india. India were bowled out for 278. Kl Rahul Top scored for them with 84 to help them to a 95 run first innings lead. Jimmy anderson picked up a couple of wickets to move clear in third in the all time list, and Ollie Robinson had a good day with the ball, completing his first five wicket haul. England reached 25 without loss in their second innings before the rain intervened after tea, so they trail by 70 runs. Staying with cricket, Trent Rockets moved to the top of the mens hundred table after a six Wicket Win over Welsh Fire in cardiff. Set 140 to win, rockets needed six runs from the last 11 balls, Samit Patel blasted them to victory. That was one of five sixes in an unbeaten 46. Their fourth win in five games. And that completed the double for the rockets, because the women had already beaten Welsh Fire by four wickets. A half century from Nat Sciver helped them reach the 103 required. That moves them above fire into fourth in the womens table, level on points with third placed oval invincibles. Theres been a slight twist in the Harry Kane saga. Missing from Tottenham Training this week, seemingly pushing for a transfer, the England Captain has denied that he refused to report for duty and says Hell Return to the club tomorrow, as planned. He was expected at spurs on monday after an extended break following the european championship. Kane says it hurts to read some of the comments questioning his professionalism and while not going into the specifics of the situation, he says that he would never, and has never, refused to train. Manchester city are favourites to sign him, with their manager confirming today that theyre interested. If tottenham dont want to negotiate, its finished. If they are open to negotiate, of course not man city, many the clubs in the world want him, to try to sign him. We are not an exception. Harry kane is an exceptional, extraordinary striker.

Dont forget the Bbc Sport Website to keep you right on top of everything thats going on heading into the final weekend in tokyo at the olympics, but thats all your sport for now. Hi there. Looks like the weather this weekend is going to be fairly unsettled. Theres going to be some sunshine around, but low pressure nearby is going to generate further showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery, with some torrential downpours in places much like we saw on friday. Its sitting right on top of the country. Lots of isobars on the chart, so its going to be pretty windy, particularly across the South West and across the far north. Gusts of 30 a0 mph. Most of the showers will be across northern and western areas to start the day, and then theyll drift their way eastwards, too. Again, some of them will be torrential with some Thunder And Lightning mixed in. Probably the best of the sunny spells will be across southern and eastern areas, where we could make 20 degrees. Otherwise, for most, the mid to high teens celsius. And then for sunday, low pressure still with us, further sunshine and showers, most of them across central and northern areas. Again, some torrential downpours. Probably a greater chance of seeing some lengthier spells of sunshine and quieter weather across central and southern england, where we could see 21 degrees. Otherwise, again, for most, the high teens celsius. This is bbc news. Im Alice Baxter with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and Around The World.
