just hours before the duke and duchess of sussex's interview with oprah winfrey. pope francis on the final day of his visit to iraq, greeted by thousands for an outdoor mass in irbil. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are parliamentaryjournalist tony grew and journalist and broadcaster caroline frost. lovely to have you with us. a quick look through some of those for an pages before our chat. royal broadcasts dominate the front pages again. let's start with the daily mail. it's headline after the queen's commonwealth day message, "duty means everything" — while the palace is braced, it says,

for the bombshell oprah interview with the duke and duchess of sussex. alongside an image of the sussexes, the daily telegraph also leads on the queen's broadcast, in which she stressed the importance of staying in touch with friends and family during these testing times. and harry and meghan�*s interview has upset princes charles and william deeply, according to the daily mirror. the paper claims they had tried to heal the royal rift. in other news, the times says nhs chiefs have warned that they will have to start cutting patient care unless the chancellor finds £8 billion this week for extra covid costs. as pupils prepare to return to school, the creator of the oxford vaccine has told the i that we need to be cautious and can't take our foot off the break in lifting restrictions. and the guardian leads on comments made by the head of the un's

humanitarian affairs office, condemning the uk government for cutting its foriegn aid budget. a few more front pages there for us to go through. tony, caroline, hello again. we will start off with the times, if we could, tony, nhs chief warning in the times. . could, tony, nhs chief warning in the times-— the times. yeah, i mean, effectively. _ the times. yeah, i mean, effectively, the _ the times. yeah, i mean, i effectively, the government the times. yeah, i mean, - effectively, the government hasn't given them enough money. the nhs is facing a huge backlog... and so this is like a preemptive strike from them saying, "unless you find another billion, and that's just for half a year, we will have to start cutting services." and it exposes, look, the nhs has been under intense pressure for around the last year, but because of the focus on the pandemic, it means a lot of other conditions and a lot of other appointments and cancer screenings and all of that stuff has fallen by

the wayside. that hasn't gone away. that slack will need to be picked up. it's not going to be another year quite as intense for the nhs as last year, but it will still be intense. these are the people that are providing services income effectively, we need more money. when it comes to the nhs, caroline, these headlines will keep coming. the pressure is growing. yes. these headlines will keep coming. the pressure is growing.— these headlines will keep coming. the pressure is growing. yes, it is. it's re the pressure is growing. yes, it is. it's pretty emotive _ the pressure is growing. yes, it is. it's pretty emotive stop. _ the pressure is growing. yes, it is. it's pretty emotive stop. all- the pressure is growing. yes, it is. it's pretty emotive stop. all last i it's pretty emotive stop. all last year. _ it's pretty emotive stop. all last year. we — it's pretty emotive stop. all last year, we were encouraged to cut for carers _ year, we were encouraged to cut for carers and _ year, we were encouraged to cut for carers and get out there and bang our pots— carers and get out there and bang our pots and pans and appreciation for all— our pots and pans and appreciation for all of— our pots and pans and appreciation for all of their vital life—saving, incredibly— for all of their vital life—saving, incredibly sacrificial work they were — incredibly sacrificial work they were all — incredibly sacrificial work they were all doing, and yet, when it came _ were all doing, and yet, when it came to — were all doing, and yet, when it came to the project, of course, they have this _ came to the project, of course, they have this l%. — came to the project, of course, they have this 1%, which people were calling _ have this 1%, which people were calling tantamount to an insult, so ifeel_ calling tantamount to an insult, so i feel that — calling tantamount to an insult, so i feel that they feel the sort of public— i feel that they feel the sort of public support is on their side, when — public support is on their side, when push _ public support is on their side, when push comes to shove, they haven'l_ when push comes to shove, they haven't got— when push comes to shove, they haven't got the money. there is talking — haven't got the money. there is talking of— haven't got the money. there is talking of striking. i will be astonished if this is actually... no one wants — astonished if this is actually... no one wants to strike, but perhaps they feel— one wants to strike, but perhaps they feel they are having to play some _ they feel they are having to play some slightly stronger cards than they have — some slightly stronger cards than

to spend £37 billion on a test and trace system that doesn't work for another £15 billion was announced in the small print of the budget for that scheme, and in comparison to the outcome of the amount of money we are talking about, particularly with yemen, is significantly smaller, i think we are talking about cutting it by around £50 million, £1 billion, so i think the government's argument here in terms of, i won't use the phrase austerity, but we have to tighten our belts, because the coronavirus doesn't stand up when you look at how much we are spending on systems that are clearly not up to scratch. stay with the guardian, caroline, facing new charges, she is freer, but not free. facing new charges, she is freer, but not free-— facing new charges, she is freer, but not free. yes, so this, on the face of it, — but not free. yes, so this, on the face of it. is _ but not free. yes, so this, on the face of it. is a — but not free. yes, so this, on the face of it, is a good _ but not free. yes, so this, on the face of it, is a good day - but not free. yes, so this, on the face of it, is a good day for- but not free. yes, so this, on the face of it, is a good day for her. face of it, is a good day for her and _ face of it, is a good day for her and her— face of it, is a good day for her and her husband who has been campaigning so tirelessly for attention to stay with his wife who has now _ attention to stay with his wife who has now finished a five year prison sentence — has now finished a five year prison sentence in — has now finished a five year prison sentence in iran. and basically, as you say, _ sentence in iran. and basically, as you say. she — sentence in iran. and basically, as you say, she has been set free, the electronic— you say, she has been set free, the electronic tech that has been around her ankle _ electronic tech that has been around her ankle for such a long time has

play sports. it must have had a huge impact on them. i'm sure it's something they will never forget, and it's something that people like me cannot imagine that difficult to it must�*ve been for kids and their parent. i it must've been for kids and their arent. ., ., , , ,., it must've been for kids and their arent. ., ., , , ., , parent. i want to push you, tony, because as — parent. i want to push you, tony, because as a — parent. i want to push you, tony, because as a parliamentary - because as a parliamentary journalist, there has been a lot of pressure put on ministers from a really pushing, pushing, sing, you know, will the schools stay open? can you confirm that they will not close? i heard something very interesting and to be busy world service last night talking but the brazilian variance from manaus variants, and it's re—infecting people who have had covid—19. do you think it's fair that pressure is put on mps to confirm something that a lot of the time is out of their control, this virus isjust, you know, it's something very difficult to control. i know, it's something very difficult to control. ~ ~ , know, it's something very difficult to control. ~' ~ , .,. to control. i think mps will react to control. i think mps will react to the pressure _ to control. i think mps will react to the pressure from _ to control. i think mps will react to the pressure from their - to the pressure from their constituents, and i don't get the sense that there are lots of constituents were saying to them that schools shouldn't go back, you know, worried particularly about this variant. it think the way in

which the government has handled this, most significant bully has the support of the labour party. so doesn't matter how many tory mps make noises about it. my view is, and a thing most mps would agree with me that the government as being more cautious than it was in terms of releasing us from lockdown, but the key has to be that schools go back, because the whole structure of people's lives, if you are a parent, the structure of your working day is in many ways tied to the fact that your children are at school for most of the day. so if we are ever going to get the economy back into, you know, some sort of semblance of normality, then it has to start with schools. ., , , ., schools. ok, two papers dealing with the same story- _ schools. ok, two papers dealing with the same story. the _ schools. ok, two papers dealing with the same story. the royals, - the same story. the royals, commonwealth a, comments made on commonwealth a, comments made on commonwealth day, and of course come of that interview. we will start off with a male, duty means everything, caroline? , ., ,, caroline? yes, for the queen, it alwa s caroline? yes, for the queen, it always has- _ caroline? yes, for the queen, it always has. this _ caroline? yes, for the queen, it always has. this is _ caroline? yes, for the queen, it always has. this is not - caroline? yes, for the queen, it always has. this is not a - caroline? yes, for the queen, it always has. this is not a new . always has. this is not a new message _ always has. this is not a new message that she is sharing with her
