hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rachel watson, deputy political editor of the scottish daily mail, and kevin schofield, political editor of huffpost uk. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the guardian reports increasing alarm at the treasury that the prime minister might be preparing to scrap the national insurance rise. according to the i, talks between ministers over dealing with the cost of living crisis have been delayed because of uncertainty over boris johnson's future. the daily express says rebel tories are warned of the consequences of "plotting against" borisjohnson in what they call the "thatcher betrayal". the telegraph says a "work from home tax loophole" that cost the treasury nearly £500 million is to be closed. the picture is of barry cryer, the comedian who's died at the age of 86. the daily mail lead with 600 whitehall "fat cats" are paid over £150,000 despite not being back in the office full—time. the times reports that the us cannot impose effective sanctions on putin because of "russian cash in london". the ft reports that new russian gas projects face sanctions if ukraine is invaded. the daily mirror reports of prince andrew's "ultimate gamble" as the palace fears he could damage the monarchy. so, let's begin. focusing very much on the politics of what's going on and let's start with you, kevin, and the guardian story and should mention also written in the times about whether this national insurance rise that has been the subject of a lot of discussion whether it's coming at this difficult time for many households, was that it is actually going to go ahead and the politics between number ten and number 11 over it. is between number ten and number“ over it. , ., ,. ., between number ten and number“ over it. , . ,. ., ., over it. is quite fascinating and there is a _ over it. is quite fascinating and there is a 1.2596 _ over it. is quite fascinating and there is a 1.25% percentage - over it. is quite fascinating and l there is a 1.2596 percentage point there is a 1.25% percentage point rise in national insurance do in the beginning of april to pay to clear the backlog in the nhs caused by the pandemic, and then going forward to find a new social care package for england. now this is i say had been earmarked that it was going to take place in april but early this week borisjohnson starters lay place in april but early this week boris johnson starters lay the groundwork for a climb down. borisjohnson starters lay the groundwork for a climb down. he is under enough a lot of pressure from conservative mps and particularly lately who are low tax conservatives. they don't intuitively like putting taxes up and they don't think it conservative prime ministers should be putting taxes up and number ten said it would go ahead but boris refused to confirm. he said investment needed but he would not confirm it will be definitely paid for by this next rise due in april. and as the weeks progressed, the science of a climb—down have only been more noticeable as a premise or has been repeatedly asked every time he is in front of the camera whether he can guarantee it and he won't guarantee it. so that is the thing that is concerning with the chancellor, rishi sunak, have to find the money to pay for the social care promises and i guess he would rightly ask if you are not going to put up national insurance to pay for it then where is money going to come from? boris johnson has not got that basically a lot of conservative mps to the price of their support is him scrapping this national insurance rise. so fascinating dynamic playing out between number ten and number 11 and worth bearing in mind that rishi sunak we all know would dearly love to be prime minister, soaked through the end as well and will be interesting to watch how this plays out over the next couple of months. and i can bring that in the next couple of stories as we look at plans for the cost of living in christ and downing street turmoil and also the story that kevin has written with more shots and accused of leading a zombie government over the party gate row. that's the huffington post i should say. that's a very acute difficulty people are facing now that looks like he is going to get worse and is there political priority here and all the tory party pitching in where they think taxes and policy plans should go? is dentistry in charge of making the decisions it wants to?— the decisions it wants to? there is a real fear — the decisions it wants to? there is a real fear that _ the decisions it wants to? there is a real fear that seem _ the decisions it wants to? there is a real fear that seem to _ the decisions it wants to? there is a real fear

the next week, the next few months. what will he do? but as is pointed out in the huffington post _ is pointed out in the huffington post story, there are so many things this government has pledged to do and actually not that long left in the parliamentary term and general election— the parliamentary term and general election 2024 potentially and there are hills _ election 2024 potentially and there are bills that were promised in the queen— are bills that were promised in the queen speech have not gone through yet queen speech have not gone through vet the _ queen speech have not gone

the way back to november when the ellen patterson scandal— november when the ellen patterson scandal broke and we almost went straight _ scandal broke and we almost went straight into party gate and its continued from there. so when can the government start getting back to the government start getting back to the day— the government start getting back to the dayjob that we are not talking about— the dayjob that we are not talking about who — the dayjob that we are not talking about who is going to be the next conservative leader and maybe we will have _ conservative leader and maybe we will have another conservative leader — will have another conservative leader and premise of this government does have a real serious issues _ government does have a real serious issues affecting household of another — issues affecting household of another country, particularly the cost—of—living crisis, fuel prices and they— cost—of—living crisis, fuel prices and they have to get back to doing that day— and they have to get back to doing that dayjob. and they have to get back to doing that day job-— that day “oh. briefly given us a sto that day job. briefly given us a story you _ that day job. briefly given us a story you have _ that day job. briefly given us a story you have written - that day job. briefly given us a story you have written up, - that day job. briefly given us a story you have written up, do| that day job. briefly given us a i story you have written up, do you have evidence that borisjohnson is so heavily distracted that he is not fixing these very major issues with him the media might be focusing on it but how do we know what the government is focusing on? i think the roof government is focusing on? i think the proof in _ government is focusing on? i think the proof in the _ government is focusing on? i think the proof in the pudding _ government is focusing on? i think the proof in the pudding is - government is focusing on? i think the proof in the pudding is in - government is focusing on? i think the proof in the pudding is in the i the proof in the pudding is in the eating and they are not looking forward any concrete proposals to deal with the cost of living crisis. yes, there is the crisis in ukraine which is obviously an enormous story that we could be on the brink of a war and we are covering from the pandemic and these are important things but there are a lot of other issues the government to be focusing on that they are not. we know for a fact that never to confirm today the prime minister is spending an awful lot of his time speaking to conservative mps who are telling him recently what the price is of their support and one of this process as she was saying is overturning of the national insurance rise. you bet your bottom dollar if borisjohnson thinks that will save his job, then he will push very hard for that to happen. so i think there is clear evidence that the government is not pushing forward with the stuff that they should be doing and as i said earlier as well the house of commons is rising early on a regular basis and certainly because there is not any government business for mps to speak about. so there are lots of things government can be doing that they are not right now because they are innocent of paralysis essentially because no one knows whether boris johnson essentially because no one knows whether borisjohnson is going to be the prime minister in a couple of weeks' time or not. so until i line is drawn under party gate one way or another, i think it will be very difficult for the government to get back onto the agenda that the voters expect to be following. if i back onto the agenda that the voters expect to be following.— expect to be following. if i can “ust expect to be following. if i can just bring _ expect to be following. if i can just bring in — expect to be following. if i can just bring in a _ expect to be following. if i can just bring in a couple - expect to

independent has got liz truss spending half £1 million on a private jet to australia. angela rayner in saying this is like a respect for taxpayer money but the fight back line from the boris camp is in terms of defending the government as a whole is boris ellis don't repeat that your betrayal and linking those because obviously liz truss is a potential leadership candidate. has a story been breached by someone who is a to liz truss who knows and the boris backers are still clearly out there trying to defend him? politics clearly under display onto front pages there. i clearly under

across to a really interesting story on the front page of the times with us sounds alarm over russian cash in london and they have said american officials figure they will be unable to impose effective sanctions on vladimir putin if russia invades ukraine because of years of british tolerance of suspect money flooding into london, kevin. the tolerance of suspect money flooding into london,

should be if russia does invade ukraine. and all the talk is about economic sanctions and what form those may take. now one suggestion is that there could be a clamp down on russian money outside of russia, and the us are concerned that london and the us are concerned that london and the uk has essentially turned a blind eye to all the money, millions if not billions of pounds worth of russian money which is been invested in the property market, very high end properties in london. and they said that that is basically removing the leverage that the west may have in terms of trying to clamp down on russian financial interests abroad. basically because we have allowed for the suggestion is the uk has allowed russian money to flood the uk and london in particular and therefore how can you then turn around and say we are going to put a stop to it now when you allowed it to happen for years and years? so there is clearly tensions there between the uk in the us as to what the best response economically anyway as opposed to militarily would be where russia to invade ukraine. ., ~ would be where russia to invade ukraine. . ~ ., ., , ., ukraine. talking about lots of russian money

money and that has the effect of boosting the economy because you get a lot of people here doing lots of big business but there is also questions. i doing lots of big business but there is also

average don't have a first good until they are about 32 and previous generation was born the after world war ii, it was 22 when they had their first children to clearly this is a social phenomenon which has been going on for quite some time. to be honest with you i don't get terribly hung up with you i don't get terribly hung up about this in the papers think is wishing that i think most people think because this is something that has been going on for quite some time and women having careers, choosing not to have kids until they are older and until maybe they have lived a bit more of a life

now, goodnight. good evening. this is your update from the bbc sport centre. we start with football, and the women's super league leaders arsenal came from behind to beat brighton 2—1. brighton took an early lead. emma koivisto headed past mauela zinsberger, ending a run of seven games without a goal. a different story in the second half. vivienne miedema with a close range finish here brought arsenal level. and a superb free kick from beth mead gave them the win. they're now four points clear at the top after four games without a win. staying with women's football, players in the wsl and championship will have guaranteed maternity and long—term sickness cover written into their contracts after the fa and pfa agreed to the change. west ham's dagny brynjarsdottir is one of the few mothers to have played in wsl, and because maternity cover has previously been at the discretion of clubs, many have decided to wait until they've retired before starting a family. fifa have introduced similar rules. some transfer news for you. defender callum chambers hasjoined aston villa on a free transfer from arsenal. chambers joined arsenal in 2014 and has made just five appearences for the club this season. he joins steven gerrard's villa on a 3.5—year deal. barcelona are in talks with wolves to sign forward adama traore, which seems to end tottenham's chances of bringing him in. barca are offering to take their former player back on loan with the option to buy for around £29 million at the end of the season. spurs had a £15 million bid rejected earlier this month. premiership rugby club exeter chiefs will drop all references to native americans in their branding after it provoked significant criticism. they'll still be called the chiefs, but have changed their logo, which from this summer will use imagery from a celtic iron age tribe, the dumnonii, which encompassed a large area in the south west, including devon. we're absolutely thrilled. we're just so relieved that it's been done, but so excited that it's been done so well. throughout the campaign, we've been saying the name doesn't need to change, its about the image that you associate it with. we've had lots of different people suggesting different historical chiefs from the devon area and mocking up logos that looked similar. it's literally everything we could have dreamed of. we're thrilled and we are beyond excited about being able to fully support our club and be doubly proud of everything they achieve on the pitch. now we can be super proud of them off the pitch as well, and at the same time we're celebrating devon, the area we all come from and we're all so proud of. england captain eoin morgan will miss the final two matches of their t20 series with west indies in

chilly at the moment, especially further east across the uk with some clearer skies and light winds, so a few mist and fog patches to start the day across england and wales — those will lift. some early sunshine as well, but it will continue to cloud over more and more from the west, and we will see some outbreaks of rain pushing eastwards across scotland, maybe a little drizzle across some
