i don't think anybody who was not in the operation can actually pass a detailed comment on the rightness and wrongness of it. you know, this is fiendishly difficult policing. but criticism of the police has been swift, from across the political spectrum and those who attended the vigil. authorities in the republic of ireland recommend temporarily suspending use of the astrazeneca vaccine, after a report of four new cases of blood clotting incidents in adults who'd had the jab in norway. the foreign secretary makes another call for the immediate release of british—iranian nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe — after she faces new allegations of anti—government propaganda in court. and it's the music industry's biggest awards night of the year — the grammys — they're being held at a virtual ceremony in los angeles. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. they have just been printed off the printer here so we can go through them. with me are are the former pensions minister, ros altmann, and the independent�*s business commentatorjames moore. tomorrow's front pages starting with... they've had a bit of a sneak preview, let's bring you up—to—date. the story of the moment is those rather ugly scenes in south london last night. the official event was cancelled, that vigil for the last night. the official event was cancelled, that vigilfor the murder victim sarah everard. and the conflict when the police features heavily on the front of the metro. the guardian has more images of people mocking their own vigils, again a couple of instances during the course of the day putting a candlelight vigil this evening outside the houses of parliament and it headlines with the chief commissioner of the metropolitan police refusing to quit and heading at armchair critics of police tactics. the mail's headline is the �*shaming of the met�*, reporting on the public backlash over the police's handling of the event. one of the scene arrested being handcuffed on the ground. an interview with her in the metro tomorrow morning. the telegraph carries the same lead but also reports that close allies of the prime minister say he accepts it was a mistake to delay the start of the first national coronavirus lockdown. of course today is the anniversary of when he was shown the data, the 14th of march, but another nine days before lockdown was held and introduced on the 23rd of that month. and a northern transport hub is to be set up in yorkshire — that's according to the yorkshire post — with hundreds of civil service jobs to be moved out of the capital. let us begin with the mail, and rise, the shaming of the mat, is that how you see the events and you think the papers are capturing the degree of anger about the story? i think the papers are capturing the degree of anger, but i must admit that this is such a difficult situation and the vigil was going ahead to, the police were told her that was not legal, it had not been approved. in the police are being put up in a really difficult position. i'm not condoning what the police did but i do think that they were put in such an impossible position. they are supposed to uphold the law and supposed to make sure that people are safe and yet one also completely understands, and i certainly do, the anger of women even what had happened to sarah and what happened in this awful, awful situation. , ., , what happened in this awful, awful situation. , . , �* , what happened in this awful, awful situation. , ., , �* , ., , , situation. james, it's a very, very stron: situation. james, it's a very, very strong front _ situation. james, it's a very, very strong front page. _ situation. james, it's a very, very strong front page. not _ situation. james, it's a very, very strong front page. notjust -
