hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are miatta fahnbulleh, chief executive of the new economics foundation and anne ashworth, property and personal finance commentator. �*the i' leads on the story on all of the front pages — the calls from across the house of commons for borisjohnson to resign — after he admitted to attending a number 10 �*bring your own booze�* lockdown party last year. the metro says despite the prime minister issuing a �*heartfelt�* apology, and that he believed he was attending a work event, mps were only angered further — with labour leader sir keir starmer saying the public thought the prime minister was �*lying through his teeth�*. the ft called it the toughest day of borisjohnson�*s premiership, with tory mps and the scottish conservatives�* leader douglas ross admitting they would be submitting letters of no confidence in the prime minister, which could lead to a vote on his leadership. the mail says the prime minister tried to mobilise his cabinet for support after a difficult day in the commons — but recieved �*lukewarm�* support from his chancellor — who only issued a tweet saying borisjohnson was right to apologise. the telegraph reports that rishi sunak�*s failure to back the prime minister publicly leaves him in limbo — and the paper tips the chancellor to be a potential successor to thejob. the guardian says the findings of the inquiry into downing street gatherings — led by sue gray — could come as soon as the end of next week, according to cabinet source it has spoken to. the mirror labels the prime minister an �*utter disgrace�* and that the nation was in �*outrage�* over how he had handled what the paper calls �*partygate�*. as well as featuring the prime minister�*s future, the times also reports the other big story today, that prince andrew has failed in his efforts to stop a us sexual assault case against him — he now faces the prospect of giving evidence in a high profile trial. so, let�*s begin. let�*s start with a front page. operation save boris which is only going partly well. to 1 operation save boris which is only going partly well-— going partly

100%. almost reminded of that other famous quote in politics. it is the enemy that is behind you and i suppose it�*s the fear that there may be a glint of steel to be found somewhere in the trust or rishi sunak. i think it�*s quite helpfulfor rishi sunak that he is and photographed next to boris johnson unlike liz and dominic raab and he was miles away. he johnson unlike liz and dominic raab and he was miles away.— and he was miles away. he had a visit and was _ and he was miles away. he had a visit and was nowhere _ and he was miles away. he had a visit and was nowhere near - and he was miles away. he had a visit and was nowhere near the i and he was miles away. he had a - visit and was nowhere near the prime minister and the daily mail pointed out that rishi sunak was really lukewarm and his response was late. perhaps they just do lukewarm and his response was late. perhaps theyjust do not want to defend the indefensible if you are a potential leadership contender, do you want to be saying that you support the prime minister 100% and you back the prime minister when it�*s clear that the country sees that it�*s notjust the it�*s clear that the country sees that it�*s not just the failing it�*s clear that the country sees that it�*s notjust the failing of not abiding by the rules and everyone else doing good making huge sacrifices playing by differences. i think that is in their own right. but as a cover—up. it is all the untruths and deceits of the tangled webs that are absolutely infuriating. if you�*re planning to go in front of conservative members but also the country, do you want your hands anywhere near that? probably not. i�*m struck by the telegraph quoting that if you move on to the telegraph quoting from rishi sunak, the prime minister was right to apologise and adding i support his request for patients while they carry out their inquiry. with strong support from the prime minister of the funding goes against them. but for the time mentioning in these comments which were not looking at at this time, it is worth pointing out that lacking in basic to hold this event and to know where they stand on this. it looks like dominic raab said something not dissimilar. almost like rather than going to the prime minister and sing, close this down and it�*s over now. and in hindsight, they would not of done it, let�*s all move on. they�*re not doing it. and rather notable. i move on. they're not doing it. and rather notable.— rather notable. i agree completely because in the _ rather notable. i agree completely because in the

rather notable. i agree completely. because in the end, i think mps and ministers can sense the mood of the country and i go back to the fact that i think it is indefensible and it looks like the prime minister said that the party went ahead and i wasn�*t aware that it was a social event. but that it was a work event that i happen to stumble upon which is completely incredible. but they�*ll be the line of defence and in the end, when that investigation comes forward, she is not going to be up to make a judgment call on what the prime minister felt did not feel because that was down to him. and so, you can see this playing out where he will hold this line, a whole lot of other people will be vying for the parties and other specialist areas. in the prime minister will be able to say, i knew nothing about it, which is possible. but it is incredible.— nothing about it, which is possible. but it is incredible. would you make ofthe but it is incredible. would you make of the telegraph's

this is the same prime minister who in december 2019 had sounding election— in december 2019 had sounding election victory. corporate financials would call loss of goodwill of an extraordinary degree. and he _ goodwill of an extraordinary degree. and he must be wondering how much longer he�*ll have that flat after all the expenses made to decorated. not least because, big celebrations the local elections and in may, a lot of tory councils may feel because they did really good before their seats that they are fighting to hold on and because if you could blame, nothing you�*re doing locally. i believe those numbers rewarding in the key thing was it is notjust party gate, it is the combination of the government that is increasingly seen as chaotic and shambolic and you have the debacle, the census leaves from the government and throwing the sin, which, it is a combination of the fact that you have a number ten the feel so divorced from the rest of the country, so divorced from things that the rest of the country are going through. but also about integrity. it is about integrity and trust and i think that is the thing thatis trust and i think that is the thing that is being eroded. caroline notes and put out a quote that said, the conservative party is greater than one man and not one man —— that one man is tarnishing the party. and a 10% poll lead for labour is pretty impressive and will make a lot of people worried. and we come back to the fact that there are many people who will support and are supporting borisjohnson who will support and are supporting boris johnson because who will support and are supporting borisjohnson because he�*s electoral asset, as soon as it looks like he is a liability on those poll numbers, that is a massive problem. you have to

saying, we don�*t actually have the article, but i think we can read into this. as he faces a sex trial in us, will he do the right thing for the queen, even if it tarnishes what�*s left of his reputation i think i read that is saying, settle. and if he doesn�*t, the headline, diffuse grilling by trial lawyers. people are saying, his options are lousy now after this judge ruled the civil case against him should go ahead. yes. judge ruled the civil case against him should go ahead.— judge ruled the civil case against him should go ahead. yes, so this is a hue him should go ahead. yes,

thejudge has ruled that not to be the case. and it will be playing from a jury that will be made public, which is what is the next stage in the trial. it would be hugely damaging and so, his options are very limited. and whether you go through that, my thing is that it is read that he goes to trial because in the end, no one should be above the law and he says he is innocent, proven in a court of law let�*s hear the case. but be hugely damaging to him and hugely damaging to the royal family. and particularly if members of the royalfamily, his family. and particularly if members of the royal

be present and they will put questions to him. it means a lot of picking over details and the legal standard is only on the balance of probabilities, not of the high standard because of criminal trials. all of them must be really worrying for the legal team representing prince andrew. two stories which are all about the cost—of—living. one of the ft, russia accusing the gas crisis to increase

football and chelsea booked their place in the league cup final with a 1—0 win at tottenham in the second leg of their semifinal. the blues were already leading 2—0 from the first leg and antonio rudiger�*s 18th minute header effectively ended the tie. they�*ll face either arsenal or liverpool in the final at wembley — they play the first leg of their semi final tomorrow. west ham moved back into the top four of the premier league with a 2—0 win over bottom club norwich at the london stadium. jarrod bowen scored both goals for david moyes�* side. the result means arsenal drop to fifth. there were three matches at the africa cup of nations today, and there were farcical scenes as mali beat tunisia 1—0. the referee blew the final whistle too early. this was the games only goal, ibrahima koney put mali 1—0 up early into the second half. tunisia saw a penalty saved with 15 minutes to play before chaos ensued. the referee first mistakenly blew for full—time with the clock on 85 minutes, to much anger from the tunisian bench. play resumed before the referee again brought the match to a close just before the 90 minutes were up, and hadn�*t even taken into account a considerable amount of time that should have been added on for stoppages. it was only when the post match news conferences were underway that tournamanet officials ordered the game should be finished with 4 minutes still to play. mali came back out, tunisia refused, with many of their players already changed and so mali were given the win. no such issues as ivory coast moved to the top of group e after their 1—0 win over equatorial guinea. max—alain gradel blasting his side ahead in the 5th minute. and gambia marked their debut at the finals with a 1—0 win over mauritania. great goal too, from abliejallow in the tenth minute. novak djokovic has admitted to a serious covid breach in his native serbia before he travelled to melbourne for the australian open. he�*s called it an "error ofjudgement" that he met with a journalist and crew for a photoshoot in mid december in the knowledge that he had tested positive for covid. the world number one — who is now training ahead of the tournament that starts on monday — also visted a children�*s tennis event the day before, but says he hadn�*t been notified of his positive result at that time. immigration officials are still to decide on the vaidity of his visa after what djokovic has described as human error on his visa application, not declaring that he had travelled to australia via spain. a parliamentary report on cricket�*s racism crisis will be published on friday. it follows powerful testimony from former yorkshire player azeem rafiq in front of a committee of mps in november, outlining his experiences at the county and his claim that the sport is institutionally racist. yorkshire has had two lucrative england matches, a test and a one—dayer, taken away from them this summer, and though rafiq wants them to be reinstated, the england and wales cricket board says the county has to meet certain criteria by early spring. here�*s the the yorkshire chairman lord patel. my soul focus besides dealing with all of the issues that we have to deal with, is that we make sure international matches are returned here as soon as possible because everything rests on that in terms of the future. future sponsors, our sustainability plan, our business plan. hundreds of thousands of fans and it�*s absolutely crucial. england captainjoe root says ben stokes and jonny bairstow could play as specialist batters in the final ashes test because of injuries. stokes picked up a side strain while bowling early in the fourth test, and bairstow was hit on the hand during his first—innings century. the final match of the series starts on friday in hobart. after such a emotionally tiring week, it is a tiring week, it is a difficult week and having a couple of days to decompress and just as a bit of time to figure were at and make sure we are confident going into the game. badminton england says it has developed a 50—point action plan after being told it needs to make fundamental changes to its culture. it comes after chris langridge and marcus ellis complained about their treatment after failing to be selected for the men�*s doubles at the tokyo 2020 olympics. a report from badminton england, gb badminton and uk sport released today outlined recommendations for change, including safeguarding protocols, and fostering better relationships between individuals within the programme. wales captain

swansea university to take up her offer — she said the one—year deals were a massive step and would help them make strides forward, heading into the six nations and beyond that, the world cup. the ultimate aim is to enable wales to challenge the best teams in the world. we have the chance to change the face of to change the face of welsh women�*s we have the chance to change the face of welsh women�*s rugby and to change the narrative that is even bigger than any of us personally and so this personally and so this is a change in women�*s rugby and i�*m so grateful to have this chance to be the best player that i can be and do that jersey proud. it seemed that all come together, it is quite emotional. judd trump made three centuries as he came from behind to beat mark allen 6—5 in the first—round at the masters. the world number two was trailing in the deciding frame at alexandra palace, but came back again to book his place in the quarterfinals. the crucial eighth frame proved the difference when he struck back to claim it and went on to win the match. and to find out whether it�*s kyren wilson or stuart bingham who trump will be playing in the quarter—finals head to the bbc
