evening. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the times reports that dj tim westwood has been hosting a youtube channel featuring violent gang videos. he has told the paper he's unaware of any links to any gangs in those videos. the i leads with the french police investigating the death of a russian in surrey. on the front page of the financial times the united states is imposing economic sanctions on seven russian businessmen. the daily mail has an interview with doreen lawrence, the mother of the murdered teenager stephen. the daily telegraph reports the two thirds of burglaries aren't being properly investigated by officers. the express leads with the release without charge of richard osborn—brooks, who fatally stabbed a man who was breaking in to his home, and calls it a victory for common sense. the sun goes with the same story and the same editorial line. and the mirror says that ant mcpartlin was allegedly more than twice the limit when arrested for drink—driving.
10:38 pm
so a varied set of front pages there. lets have a look at them in more detail. starting with the ongoing ramifications of the russians by poisoning story and how that sort of really brought in so many of britain's allies in various ways. here's the ftes. the us takes aim at russian oligarchs, yet more sanctions being imposed by the trump administration. this may come as a surprise for people wentjust administration. this may come as a surprise for people went just five days after the poisoning in salisbury donald trump, the president called vladimir putin after his election victory to congratulate him, which went against the advice given to him by officials in the white house. everyone was quite surprised at that. they talked about north korea, the top ukraine, they talked about shared interest
10:39 pm
but did not want to bring up the subject of the poisoning or meddling in the us elections, but yet he does that and then he put the toughest sanctions yet that have come out as a result of this, which i think will most definitely be welcomed by downing street and the prime minster. it put them in a difficult position but it's a real kick in the gut. they have sanctions against seven russian businessman, 12 companies, 17 russian government officials and the list includes but american's son—in—law, the man with a massive holding in london company, big aluminium interest, there is a greatcoat talib" from the treasury secretary who says russian oligarchs and believed to profit from this corrupt system will never be —— no longer be insulated from the consequences of longer be insulated from the
10:40 pm
consequences of the government's destabilising activities and i think thatis destabilising activities and i think that is why it's difficult because you mentioned the british minister think this goes 's remember the attack happened on british soil yet we have not taken any action against massive russian interest, property and wealth in this country. that list of people that you mentioned could not get much closer, could it to vladimir putin and that is the point. it is to drive this effectively the sanctions right to the heart of the government. 17 senior russian government officials, seven billionaires, there's numerous officials here which i'm not sure they would really be expecting this and obviously we have issues with things like bp which had been talked about previously which makes sanctions. it makes the uk government hesitant to take this kind of action because there'll be a blowback that is tit—for—tat and press that would be chopped out of moscow or closed down in moscow —— that would be dp chopped out. they
10:41 pm
would certainly test the uk and america. a lot of other allies, 23 countries i think in the end that got caught up in those tit—for—tat diplomatic expulsions which do not carry the same apple not —— economic... if you use to dine in salisbury, you might be quite upset and naturally so aggrieved at the fa ct and naturally so aggrieved at the fact you would be put at risk, does the expulsion of diplomats mean anything to you 7 the expulsion of diplomats mean anything to you? although this is not a many of the papers on the contents of the back of sergei skripal and his daughter appear to be getting better. she is talking, he is not critical anymore cordon to the hospital authority so that will be another development that will keep the story going into next week —— according to the hospital authority stuff but his niece has been denied a visa because britain is concerned she's being used by russia. she was considered to be
10:42 pm
used as a pawn in this and they consider her to be a victim in this situation, so she's being denied the visa for immigration reasons, we are not entirely clear what those reasons are. the reasons are they would use it as a —— user as a battering ram rather than upon because once she's in the russians would say we want into. she is a russian citizen, we want to to her. they have been asked if they want to see her and juliet skripal said no. you wonder what is going on with us foreign policy in the knowledge trump administration because if that difference in tone and difference in message that he used a few weeks ago. his great strength is his complete volatility and unpredictability. how much of this is down to him rather than the state department and the treasury? to be honest with you i don't know. i imagine there is some kind of internal struggle. he cost of doing one thing one day and quite the

10:44 pm
concluded there were no third—party involvement, yet an autopsy on his body, toxicology found traces of this poison, a poison favoured by russian and chinese assassins. the french seem to be taking this investigation very seriously. they spent 18 hours examining a witness, a guy that knew the russian whistle—blower. a guy that knew the russian whistle— blower. it tips a guy that knew the russian whistle—blower. it tips over into next week, this story, because the juicy part is the inquest into his deathis juicy part is the inquest into his death is ongoing. we expect to hear from a 22—year—old ukrainian model and fashion designer who shared a hotel room with him in paris before he left and she's going to be giving evidence at the hearing, she's being asked. she's 23 now and this happened six years ago. this comes on the backdrop of the home
10:45 pm
secretary amber rudd confirming that the government and security services are having another look at the 111 deaths, mysterious death of russians in britain and he's one of them. straight after the poisoning there was talk there might be to ask necessary to find out whether they had been subject to the nerve agent. a very close associate of vladimir putin with another found dead, a p pa re ntly putin with another found dead, apparently hanged, but that is another one they're looking at. what does this say about surrey police decision? because the french think there's to answer. it does not seem to be in the hands of surrey police anymore. it is now mi—5 and they will not comment on what they are doing or not doing but i suspect they are pretty busy with salisbury and everything else linked to it. the web has spread out in salisbury, across the atlantic into paris now to the old bailey and into the stock market if the fte is to be believed.
