and the first official photos of the wedding of princess beatrice and italian count edoardo mapelli—mozzi are released — from their private ceremony on friday — attended by the queen and the duke of edinburgh. sport, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly hamilton. good morning, bend. and plenty of it today as well. we have another fa cup semi final to look forward to later as manchester united take on chelsea at wembley — the winner will face arsenal in the final after they beat holders manchester city 2—0 — as mikel arteta looks to mark his first season in charge with some major silverware jim lumsden looks back at last night's action. it's wembley but not as we know it. 90,000 seats all empty, fans replaced by banners. city didn't mind, a good week so farfor them. their champions league ban overturned and still two cups to play for. arsenal still strutting from a defeat of champions liverpool, saw little of the ball for the first quarter of an hour before pierre—emerick aubameyang found a way through. the gunners were calling the shots, with mustafi coming close to making it two. all of which gave pep plenty to ponder. his former number two now in charge in the other dugout, was taking a leaf out of his book. although after the break, there were signs that the holders may be finding their feet. city were unbeaten in their last nine visits to wembley and mahrez would have fired them level but for the fingers of emi martinez. sterling had an opportunity... ..didn't seem to know much about it. city pounded away at arsenal but suddenly on the counterattack, they were further behind as aubameyang struck again. 2—0 it remained as a superb performance from arsenal took them to a 21st fa cup final. some formula 1 later as well, with lewis hamilton starting on pole at the hungarian grand prix as he looks to claim his seventh victory there. it was another masterclass for hamilton during qualifying — mercedes were miles ahead of everyone else, but the six—time world champion finished just ahead of team—mate valtteri bottas. it's the 90th pole of his career — hamilton admitting himself that that requires nothing less than perfection. thankful to everyone back home and the guys here that do such an amazing job, and valtteri doesn't make it easy for me at all, so it requires absolute perfection when it comes to doing laps and qualifying like that is one of the things i enjoy most. we may actually get some cricket today — after day three of the second test between england and west indies was a complete wash—out. day four is looking a little more promising with clear skies forecast. henry moeran is at old trafford for us. that lost day was no help to england, who now face a race against time to try to level the series. they do. batting conditions for the west indies are pretty good, the sun is shining here, england probably could have done with overhead cloud to help the ball move around encourage west indies batsmen to play loose shots and get the early breakthroughs that could see england on way. just a reminder, england need 19 west indies wickets over the next two days. the forecast is good so next two days. the forecast is good so there will be time, it is whether they have the time in the game. 0n they have the time in the game. 0n the situation requiring those wickets in pretty quick time is a difficult one and you look back to england's batting performance, it seems harsh to criticise a side that hits 461 but whether they could have batted quicker and got the west indies batting sooner and giving themselves longer to get this victory. 19 wickets in just two days, do you think england might be regretting that they should have been more ambitious with the declaration on thursday?” been more ambitious with the declaration on thursday? i think thatis declaration on thursday? i think that is something they will have been thinking about. the innings with outstanding, one of the slowest centuries in living memory from an english test batsmen. a test century is something to be cherished and enjoyed, no question, in england but asi enjoyed, no question, in england but as i have not always find it easy in recent times but there will be questions as to whether he and ben stokes could have accelerated quicker once they passed the 100 mark. jos buttler could have got them scoring quicker as well. they are ina them scoring quicker as well. they are in a position where they could win the game, the washer yesterday has made it all that harder and the west indies will think if they can get through the first couple of sessions without losing too many wickets then realistically it is ha rd to wickets then realistically it is hard to see how the scheme could be anything but a draw. we can just about make out of the blue skies behind you —— how this game could be anything but a draw. that starts at 11am this morning, all going well, there will be more from the bbc sport centre throughout the afternoon but now on bbc news, it is time for the papers. hello and welcome to our look at what stories the papers are reporting this morning. with me are james rampton, features writer at the independent, and katherine forster, journalist at the sunday times. thank you for being with us today. let's show you the front pages. the sunday times reports that the chinese social media giant, tiktok, has shelved plans for a global headquarters in britain amid a mounting economic war between london and beijing. the sunday mirror carries a picture of princess beatrice on her wedding day, but questions the whereabouts of her father, prince andrew. although we do know he did walker's daughter down the aisle. —— walk his daughter down the aisle. —— walk his daughter down the aisle. the mail on sunday reports on bullying allegations surrounding the top candidate for a civil service job with the uk government at ten downing street. the sunday express says mps are warning that a report into alleged russian meddling in uk democracy, due to be published next week, mustn't be used to sabotage brexit. and the sunday telegraph leads with an interview from uk prime minister borisjohnson, who says he has ruled out another nationwide lockdown. let's start with, james, kick us off with the sunday telegraph and that borisjohnson interview. "we will not need another national lockdown." he compares the threat of a national lock then with the nuclear deterrent, saying you want to have it in your back pocket but it does not intend you mean to use it. it in your back pocket but it does not intend you mean to use itm it in your back pocket but it does not intend you mean to use it. it is a typically crass analogy from mr johnson. ifeel very a typically crass analogy from mr johnson. i feel very loathe to believe him, ever since he was let go believe him, ever since he was let 9° by believe him, ever since he was let go by the times for allegedly fabricating a quarter more than 30 yea rs fabricating a quarter more than 30 years ago he's made a career out of economic up with the truth. what he's saying seems to be at odds with their announcement a couple of days ago by sir patrick vallance the chief scientific adviser, that we are facing a second wave and could well have another lockdown. suggest there might be as many, this is dreadful, 120,000 more deaths over the winter. i take everything mr johnson said with a lorry load of i'm afraid this isjust johnson said with a lorry load of i'm afraid this is just a johnson said with a lorry load of i'm afraid this isjust a piece johnson said with a lorry load of i'm afraid this is just a piece with everything he said over the past 30 yea rs. haven't the local lockdown is and the principle of not shutting down everybody and don't shut down the whole country, for example, in leicester, local lockdown, that's proved to be quite effective and that surely is the strategy going forward 7 that surely is the strategy going forward? that is obviously what the government are hoping is going to get us through a resurgence of dividers if and when it comes as it almost certainly seems it will. —— resurgence of the virus. that relies on contact tracing, testing, etc and we are not there yet. we are making considerable progress. this is the hope. in fairness to borisjohnson, andi hope. in fairness to borisjohnson, and i do appreciate there is a major trust issue with people in this government, giving the things that have been said and done over the past month, he has said he does not think we will be in that position again but he could not rule it out, never say never. the french prime minister has basically said they can't have another lockdown because economically and socially they couldn't survive. i think that is what is behind this, economic and social cost of our total lockdown that we had has been so monumental and damaging, report by the office for budget responsibility last week saying unemployment could reach 12% by the end of the year, up to 4 million people without work. clearly the government, that is the absolute last thing they would want to do, another lockdown on the scale we've seen already. james, who kicked us off with a coruscating attack on the prime minister so i will ask you to comment on a delightful picture of him and carrie symons and their new child will fit on the front of the sunday telegraph with that interview. all the papers talking about a very mop of blonde hair on young wilfred. i would hate to i am some one eyed lefty. i am delighted for mrjohnson as fiance to have had this a p pa re ntly as fiance to have had this apparently gorgeous baby, it's a lovely picture and reminds us of the roller—coaster year he has had since becoming prime minister. he has fought off the supreme court, battle over the prorogation of parliament, won landslide election victory, very sadly suffered seriously from covid—19, was in intensive care for a few days, he has got divorced, got engaged, had a baby. if you were in a soap opera you would expect that over 30 years but it's happened to mrjohnson in one year. but good luck to them, it's a lovely picture. i already said what i think of him asa i already said what i think of him as a politician, though! he also talks in this personal section about losing weight, he says he has lost one stone, five and saying how much better he feels mentally and physically and he seems to be a real convert to dieting and getting himself in shape. he has, absolutely. this is largely because if you have that might have a brush with death you will take stock, and the evidence is if you are overweight you are much more at risk of dying or being seriously affected by covid—19 and many other things as well. he has seen the light in terms of his weight. obviously he is not recommending people lose weight as he did, largely in intensive care, fighting off the virus. he is a very serious about trying to galvanise us to get fitter. he is quoted as saying don't be at fatty in your 505. others 5aying don't be at fatty in your 505. others who had the virus in the government bounce back very quickly. he is saying he'5 government bounce back very quickly. he is saying he's not interested in introducing any sort of sugar attack5, doe5 introducing any sort of sugar attack5, does not believe that is the way. —— 5ugar tax. we have one of the highest obesity rate5 the way. —— 5ugar tax. we have one of the highest obesity rates in europe and that might be partly why we've been so badly hit by the viru5. we've been so badly hit by the virus. james, you spoke about his yearin virus. james, you spoke about his year in office already, the sunday times have a spread inside by tim shipman, political editor, analysing his year in number ten, headlined by the seat of his pants, johnson's first year in number ten, brexit secured, divorce, baby and brush with death. there is a great sub headline saying even on his sick bed headline saying even on his sick bed he said when he was in hospital he said no brexit delays. yes, he was so programmed to seeing get brexit done, even hospital he was now think that mantra. it is a great piece. tim shipman is brilliant. he has got such great contacts and he writes in a very vivid way. i love the detail. for instance, in those terrible moments when mrjohnson was very ill, ministers came within hours of having to name a stand—in prime minister. that is a very serious constitutional crisis that was threatening. i love the little details he is quoted one minister andi details he is quoted one minister and i won't swear, but when he heard about the severity he said, swear word, what if he dies? i'm sure that was in the minds of the whole nation. 0n was in the minds of the whole nation. on a human level disaster is for him and his family but on a constitutional level potentially catastrophic as well. we would have beenin catastrophic as well. we would have been in uncharted waters, prime minister dying in post is unthinkable and thank goodness that did not happen but hats off to tim shipman for a really insightful behind—the—scenes piece. catherine, the sun on sunday have a front page splash about a woman who survived covid after 130 days in hospital. i suppose everybody, including the prime minister who has been hospitalised or if they recover i'm sure they see it as a kind of medical but this really is according to the sun on sunday, medical. 130 daysin to the sun on sunday, medical. 130 days in hospital, 105 days on a ventilator but no fatima —— now fatima has recovered. this is a wonderful story that will give people hope because many people who have covid—19 are ill for a long period of time. we saw kate garraway was my husband, who has been very ill for a long time. this lady, she and her husband had come back from holiday in morocco in early march and she got it. she was in intensive care, a ventilatorfor105 and she got it. she was in intensive care, a ventilator for 105 days, and she got it. she was in intensive care, a ventilatorfor105 days, in ad, for over a month. care, a ventilatorfor105 days, in ad, for overa month. it care, a ventilatorfor105 days, in ad, for over a month. it really it was touch and go —— in a coma for over a month. she had complications, pneumonia, collapsed lung, sepsis twice but she now seems to be out of danger come into rehab and walking with a zimmer frame. danger come into rehab and walking with a zimmerframe. it danger come into rehab and walking with a zimmer frame. it seems absolutely miraculous because of these stories don't always end well andi these stories don't always end well and i think it makes you realise all these numbers that we hear every day all these statistics, every one of them is a person with a story at the family and people that love them. wonderful, in this case, it has ended well. james, let's go to the sunday times' frontpage living in tiktok shelving plans for a global headquarters in britain. this is, they are suggesting, part of the fallout of the huawei decision by the british government, looming trade war between the uk and china. not sure if you're on tiktok, but what do you think of this? i'm only 4000 years too old to be an tiktok! iam aware 4000 years too old to be an tiktok! i am aware of what i believe are called young people and define a station —— and their fascination with this. loved by teenagers, 800 million followers worldwide. it would have been a huge feather in the capital of the government to this hq in london, 3000 jobs. ifear this hq in london, 3000 jobs. ifear this may be the first shot on a looming trade war. experts are talking about the possible £50 billion loss of future investments. the chinese already threatening retaliation for the huawei moves. companies like jaguar land rover, bp are being threatened with losing their business or having it curtailed in china. also there is a big threat to institutions in this country. manchester university and eight other universities are a p pa re ntly eight other universities are apparently on the brink of ba n kru ptcy apparently on the brink of ba nkru ptcy partly apparently on the brink of bankruptcy partly because 20% of their income comes from chinese students. that is a potential disaster, not only in business but also education. this will have ripples throughout our country and it isa ripples throughout our country and it is a very dangerous moment, i think. catherine, the observer front—page lead is pressure from donald trump leading to the 5g bann, britain tells huawei. that is pretty unsurprising kind of frontpage as far as unsurprising kind of frontpage as farasi unsurprising kind of frontpage as faras i can unsurprising kind of frontpage as far as i can say because i think we all knew it was pressure from donald trump along with pressure from tory backbenchers like iain duncan smith. absolutely. donald trump ha5 backbenchers like iain duncan smith. absolutely. donald trump has been a blatantly furiou5 with us ever since we took this decision injanuary blatantly furiou5 with us ever since we took this decision in january to allow huawei to help with our 5g infrastructure and now we've reversed that decision. interesting what the official line is, purely security concerns but of course behind—the—scenes the chinese, while executives have been told it is largely geopolitical. we can't afford to upset donald trump, he is afford to upset donald trump, he is a great ally. and also hinting this decision, while weight will not be taken decision, while weight will not be ta ken out of decision, while weight will not be taken out of our system and the will still remain in two g, 3g, 4g, it will not go until 2027, the thinking that, well, sorry, i've slightly lost the thread of what i was saying. basically they've said one thing officially and another to huawei. not surprising because in a way we are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea in terms of we can't afford to enrage china too much because they have got themselves very well into our lives, our systems, huge amount of investment but, at the same time, we have to be very mindful of america. they are implying that if donald trump goes things might change. there will be conservative mp5 who would be incandescent with rage at the very suggestion of that. james, the very suggestion of that. james, the observer a picture ofjohn lewis, the civil rights leader in the us who died at the age of 80. on and marched with martin luther king. i suppose interesting and the time of black lives matter how long the struggle has been going on for. these are very emotional pictures going back to the 19605 of the civil rights leaders campaigning then. going back to the 19605 of the civil rights leaders campaigning thenlj would like to pay tribute tojohn lewis. 0ften would like to pay tribute tojohn lewis. often been the unsung hero of the civil rights movement. he was born in complete poverty in a rural alabama on a farm, he went to a segregated school, was not allowed a library card because he was black. hejoined martin luther king's famous march on washington. he spoke just before the now absolutely world famous i have a dream speech and lewis said, we don't want our freedom gradually, we want to be freedom gradually, we want to be free now. he then walked beside doctor king on that famous march to the bridge in selma. he was viciously attacked by the police and he had his skull fractured by a police baton, and the shocking nature of that footage was broadcast around the world and directly led to the institution of the voting rights act in the us which was a landmark moment in the civil rights movement. he was arrested 40 times in the early 605. he is an absolute hero of the civil rights movement. they are saying he is being mourned like —— i would say he is up there in terms of influence of the president. certainly better than the current president, by miles! let's finish off with the sunday mirror, where as bad as they are very simple question thatis bad as they are very simple question that is kind of ask —— where is dad is the kind of simple question. princess beatrice with her new husband and the queen and the duke of edinburgh but no princes andrew although he did lead his daughter down the aisle. these lovely pictures on the front pages today. there is a very obvious mother and father of the bride missing. but i think that was inevitable, he was obviously there and walked the aisle, obviously a much smaller celebration than planned because they had to abide by the covid regulations. but he was there but a p pa re ntly regulations. but he was there but apparently it was his choice to take apparently it was his choice to take a back seat, buckingham palacejust released these two very lovely pictures of the happy couple with flowers over the entrance to the church, on the other with the queen and prince philip. the queen and prince philip look fabulous, 99 and 94, i've not seen prince philip for a long time, but very sad and ever since the newsnight car crash interview, but prince andrew gave late last year in which he said he had no regrets about his friendship with jeffrey epstein, i'm had no regrets about his friendship withjeffrey epstein, i'm sure he's had many regrets about it since then. obviously with maxwell been recently arrested, this is still a very hot topic that shows no sign of going away. james, they say every picture tells a story, extraordinary some of the's absence from the picture can be a front—page lead. you couldn't have anything more telling. the headline is dad? my headline would have been where's wally? he had extraordinary arrogance in what catherine rightly called a car crash interview in the worst exa m ple called a car crash interview in the worst example of career suicide in a long time. the allegations against him for his involvement withjeffrey epstein have made him resign from every single official role and he is untouchable. i feel desperately sorry for beatrice. i'm not a massive fan of the royal family but asa human massive fan of the royal family but as a human being i think it's very sad for her her dad is untouchable and can't be in the pictures but i agree with catherine, she looks absolutely lovely. james, thank you. let's hope the prime minister, the president and the prince were not watching your podcast today!|j president and the prince were not watching your podcast today! i hope they wear! —— not watching your broadcast today. thank you for joining us for this sunday morning the view of the papers. goodbye for now. hello. some sunday sunshine on the way for most of us through today, but there are some contrast in our weather fortunes. a few showers around, particularly across northern parts of the country. down towards the south—east is a very slow—moving weather front still bringing cloud and some spots of rain, particularly through parts of east anglia, the coast of norfolk, suffolk, essex, kent, the london area, down towards the south coast. staying pretty cloudy, with some rain at times into the start of the afternoon. further north and west we see sunny skies for the most part. some showers, across scotland in particular. quite a few showers in north—west scotland. not as windy here as it was during yesterday. through the day, we will continue to see our area of cloud towards the south—east bringing some splashes of rain right through into the afternoon across parts of kent. the further north and west you are, sunny skies. some showers for scotland, one or two possibly for northern ireland and northern england. temperatures a little below par for this time of year. 17 celsius in aberdeen, 22 in cardiff. but it is a much better day for the cricket at old trafford. it should stay fine throughout the afternoon, with spells of sunshine, top temperatures 18 celsius. as we head through the evening we will finally lose the slow—moving weather front, the cloud and rain from the far south—east. for most it is clear skies through the night. some showers still across scotland. quite a chilly night for the time of year. these are the temperatures in towns and city centres, up to 10 celsius. some places in the countryside will get a little bit chillier than that. after a cool start it is a bright start to monday morning, some sunshine through the day. the potential for some showers, one or two for northern england and northern ireland. quite a few across northern and western parts of scotland. as far as temperatures go, 15 in aberdeen, 21 in cardiff, 22 the high in london. the mainly fine start to the new working week comes courtesy of high pressure. that will try to hold on and it will do, i think, towards the south for the most part through the week. a frontal system pushing in towards the north—west will bring some rain in the north—western areas through the middle of the week. towards the south it will warm up a little bit. this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. more than a quarter of a million coronavirus cases in 24 hours — the largest single—day global rise in cases since the start of the pandemic. china's ambassador to the uk tells the bbc the uk's decision to drop huawei from it's 5g networks is a bad move for the country. i think uk should have its own independent foreign policy rather than dance to the tune of americans, like what happened to huawei. eu leaders meet for an unscheduled third day of talks on a post—coronavirus economic recovery plan. lebanon faces economic ruin as the country's currency loses 80% of its value against the dollar resulting in soaring prices.
