first, the headlines. us presidentjoe biden warns russian leader vladimir putin that he'll respond with "severe economic sanctions" if ukraine is invaded. russia says the west is creating hysteria and it's absurd to suggest an invasion will happen. the ukrainian president warns against creating panic. there is panic in our country, and all this information, it helps only for panic. doesn't help us. and also ahead — police in canada break up a protest against covid restrictions after several days of a major trade route to the us being blocked. tear gas on the streets of paris, as french police try to disperse a demonstration against covid regulations.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are kate maltby, columnist for the i and chair of the theatre critics circle, and jonathan walker, political editor at the birmingham mail. welcome to both of you. let's just have a quick run through those front pages. the sunday express says brexit�*s big wins are coming soon — that's according to new brexit opportunities ministerjacob rees mogg, who's been speaking to the paper. the sunday telegraph claims russia is planning a "false flag" attack as a pretext for an invasion of ukraine as soon as wednesday. the sunday times leads with comments from the defence secretary, ben wallace, who's likened western efforts to counter russian aggression against ukraine to appeasement before world war ii. the sunday mirror quotes a source as saying that murderer levi bellfield's alleged confession to carrying out the murders of lin and megan russell was, in the paper's words, "a sickjoke." the people says a book

by prince harry do to be published later this year will contain criticism of his stepmother, the duchess of cornwall. let's begin. the first paper we're going to look at is the sunday times. this has the with of munich. the policy in the 1930s trying to stop the war with germany. kate, do you want to begin? what's the article saying in more detail? ~ �* , ., ., ., detail? well, there's quite a lot of coveraue detail? well, there's quite a lot of coverage in _ detail? well, there's quite a lot of coverage in the _ detail? well, there's quite a lot of coverage in the sunday _ detail? well, there's quite a lot of coverage in the sunday times - detail? well, there's quite a lot of coverage in the sunday times this j coverage in the sunday times this weekend of the ukraine crisis. ben wallace's comments are obviously not going to be considered very helpful by our allies, which points to the fact that he's right. i think it's very clear that we've seen a kind of continual failure to stand up to

russia over several years, which is what he says, because one of the important things that he points out in this article which is often missed is that this has been a long time coming. it's not a question of russia invading ukraine for the first time, they invaded in 2014. they backed separatists, but very dodgy looking people who claimed to be independent, but turned out to have russian markers on their weapons. they've been making incursions into this supposedly free country, and i think ben wallace frankly is not wrong to say that we have collectively failed. but i'm not sure that this desperate last—ditch to form alliances will be helped by his comments. let’s look at the telegraph. john, we'll turn to you for that one. russia

plot attack to provoke war. false flag, the words used byjoe biden. and i can't help thinking about what we heard from president zelensky, saying the best friend for enemies is panic in our country. ijust wonder whether what we're hearing is creating that panic. yes. wonder whether what we're hearing is creating that panic.— creating that panic. yes, it's all talk coming _ creating that panic. yes, it's all talk coming from _ creating that panic. yes, it's all talk coming from the _ creating that panic. yes, it's all talk coming from the united . creating that panic. yes, it's all. talk coming from the united states and reported in many papers. seen as wednesday. _ and reported in many papers. seen as wednesday, this is what the us believe~ — wednesday, this is what the us believe. ukrainians themselves are not very— believe. ukrainians themselves are not very happy with this toff. they don't _ not very happy with this toff. they don't believe it's very helpful. as you said. — don't believe it's very helpful. as you said. it— don't believe it's very helpful. as you said, it may help russia because it inflates _ you said, it may help russia because it inflates panic and a sense of chaos, — it inflates panic and a sense of chaos, which might be helping vladimir— chaos, which might be helping vladimir putin. the telegraph is reporting — vladimir putin. the telegraph is reporting on concerns that putin

proposed, not least to the procurement bill, which is being sort of floated as a wonderful way to cut government red tape, although given what a scandal we've just seen at the beginning of the pandemic, i'm not sure that less oversight is going to be as much of a political winner as mr rees—mogg might suggest. it could be. he's also talked a bit about the bill for freeport, which is almost completed, and he's right. there has been a lot through parliament recently without being talked about. but as the article says, after weeks of downing street being under siege over party gate, mr rees—mogg urged his party to stick by the prime minister. this is what everything is about and what the kite floated by stephen barclay, is really all about, this operation
