hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. to what the papers will be with me, tom newton dunn, chief political commentator at times radio, and sonia sodha, chief leader writer at the observer. hello to you both. our look at the papers in a moment. first off, let's just take you through some of those front pages, and we will start off with the daily mail. "the deafening roar of russian jets" forms part of a dramatic dispatch from hms defender, as reported in the paper. the paper notes how moscow summoned the british ambassador after the uk destroyer entered disputed territorial waters off crimea.
10:32 pm
the ft�*s main headline is how berlin and paris want a reset for eu relations with moscow. the paper also reports on the outrage sparked by a plan for euro 2020 vips to skip quarantine at the wembley finals. the metro's lead is "prem star killed by cop", as the paper reports how the police officer who tasered former footballer dalian atkinson is the first manslaughter conviction of a police officer on duty in 35 years. "merkel puts holidays to europe in doubt" is the telegraph's lead alongside its main picture story of borisjohnson meeting the queen face to face for their weekly audience — without wearing masks. a little flavour there of some of our front pages. a little flavour there of some of ourfront pages. let's a little flavour there of some of our front pages. let's start off our chat, then. sonia and tom, lovely to have you with us here on bbc news
10:33 pm
this evening. we are going to start off on the front page of the daily mail and, off on the front page of the daily mailand, sonia, iwondered if off on the front page of the daily mail and, sonia, iwondered if you could sort that off for us.- could sort that off for us. sure, so this is quite _ could sort that off for us. sure, so this is quite extraordinary, - could sort that off for us. sure, so this is quite extraordinary, and - this is quite extraordinary, and actually the daily mail and the bbc apparently had reporters aboard the uk worship that was essentially, it was sailing in waters close to crimea, which is the next become a part of ukraine that was done for the bit of ukraine that was annexed by russia. the uk, the defence secretary has spoken of this evening and said the ship was sailing a routine route, so it is very clear that the uk intended to sail in this way and saw this as part of backing up way and saw this as part of backing up ukraine, essentially, overwhat happened. now, accounts do differ, so the uk government has challenged the account from the russian
10:34 pm
government which has said that shots were fired up etc. it probably sound like shots were fired, but they were quite far away from the ship itself, but apparently russia did scramble planes to fly above the ship, etc. so it sounds like it was very intentional on behalf of the british government, that they knew this might potentially create a bit of backlash with russia, but i think this is part of the uk wanting to exert itself in some ways, just to show that it stands with ukraine, i suppose. it is a good way of putting it. so i think the fact that there was a russian response tonight, it all sounds very dramatic, of course, but i think it may have been anticipated by the british government.— anticipated by the british | government.- yeah, anticipated by the british i government.- yeah, it anticipated by the british - government.- yeah, it is kind anticipated by the british government. tom? yeah, it is kind of interesting. — government. tom? yeah, it is kind of interesting, this _ government. tom? yeah, it is kind of interesting, this mail _ government. tom? yeah, it is kind of interesting, this mail report, because _ interesting, this mail report, because it doesn't quite tally with the defence agree terry ben

10:42 pm
atkinson was a former footballer, experiencing an acute mental health crisis when the police got called. instead of getting supported and getting helped, a police officer has now been convicted of his manslaughter, and the details of the case are really horrific to read on the front page of the guardian. he was kicked so violently that the policeman cosmic shoelaces had his blood in them and he had imprints of the shoelaces on his forehead, so it is just such a terrible tragic case, it has taken five years for his family to serve justice for this to be seen to the courts. this is obviously a verdict but the culpability of one police officer and his death and his manslaughter, but i think it will also raise wider questions. the net itself, the london police force, has come under so much scrutiny in recent days and weeks. sort of seems to be the case in some ways, the met committee west
10:43 pm
this raises some issues about how the police respond to call—outs for mental health, how they respond to black men who need support in the midst of a mental health crisis — in this case, it seems to be with such extreme violence that it caused a man's manslaughter — and then why did it take five years for this to work its way through? and the police officer in question, who is been found guilty of manslaughter, he has been accused of lying in court to try and cover up, so i think it does raise really serious questions about the police force.— the police force. tom, do you think is feature in _ the police force. tom, do you think is feature in this _ the police force. tom, do you think is feature in this and _ the police force. tom, do you think is feature in this and that _ the police force. tom, do you think is feature in this and that that - the police force. tom, do you think is feature in this and that that is i is feature in this and that that is a valid question from sonia? == is feature in this and that that is a valid question from sonia? -- his race did feature? _ a valid question from sonia? -- his race did feature? it _ a valid question from sonia? -- his race did feature? it is _ a valid question from sonia? -- his race did feature? it is really - a valid question from sonia? -- his race did feature? it is really hard . race did feature? it is really hard to tell~ _ race did feature? it is really hard to tell. there is no obvious signs of that— to tell. there is no obvious signs of that from the trial, no evidence presented — of that from the trial, no evidence presented to that. i think there is a default —
