first, the headlines — in a phone call with ukraine's leader, president biden says he'll respond "swiftly and decisively" if russia invades the country. more than a dozen countries tell their citizens to leave ukraine. over 100,000 russian troops remain at the border. canadian police say they have cleared the covid—restriction protests which had closed a key bridge to the us for almost a week. 13 people are injured after a mezzanine floor collapses at a pub in east london. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. i'm joined by thejournalist daisy mcandrew and the broadcaster matthew stadlen. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the daily mirror's front page — the "world holds its breath" as russia massed its troops along ukraine's border. "countdown to war" is its headline. the times reports how western leaders will make a last—ditch for diplomatic talks as fears of an imminent russian invasion

of ukraine continue. the daily express says borisjohnson is urging vladimir putin to "step back from the brink" as the crisis reaches a "criticaljuncture". but the metro says moscow is ridiculing western allies�* attempts to threaten the kremlin with economic sanctions. in other news, the sun leads with reports that a senior raf officer has been suspended over claims he flashed his bottom at a neighbour. the guardian has an exclusive of what it calls a "damning" race report revealing vast inequalities in across the national health service. and the yorkshire post leads on a poll which says the majority of voters want murderers of children to die in prison. so, let's begin. welcome back to you both. let's start with the daily mirror and their headline countdown to war. what do you make of that equipment i think this is... what do you make of that equipment i think this is. . .—

think this is... what many people are feeling- _ think this is... what many people are feeling. like _ think this is... what many people are feeling. like the _ think this is... what many people are feeling. like the war of - think this is... what many people are feeling. like the war of words before potential actual war. we have heard for many days and weeks now that vladimir putin is gearing up, that vladimir putin is gearing up, that he has got all his troops in place, 130,000 or however many it is and the daily mirror count them and say the russia bolsters invasion force along ukraine border as hopes of peace dealfail. force along ukraine border as hopes of peace deal fail. they've also got on the front page details which have come out from we understand, being released by the american cia and security forces, and this piece as the information that's come out suggests rushing me planninguk an invasion at any moment and if at the information with more specific than that, saying coming from the pentagon that the americans believe the russians are planning to invade on wednesday. that was a very deliberate tactic. it was the americans way of saying we know what you are doing, we have our intelligence sources, spy sources and we are letting the world know

what we know in order to reduce your authority, in order to make you look stupid orfoolish. and this obviously is something that when diplomacy stops, you try to sometimes humiliate your opponent and this is exactly what's going on here. so interesting behind the scenes manoeuvring and obviously we know that boris johnson is scenes manoeuvring and obviously we know that borisjohnson is going to be trying to bolster western support for the western alliance, as it were, trying to convince russia to step back from the brink. but as matt was saying one hour ago, the ukrainians are already being very damaged by this. just today, the insurers who underwrite commercial airlines have been saying as of tomorrow they will no longer do that, which makes it unviable for many of those commercial airlines to fly over ukrainian space and we have seen klm already cancelled flights.

and this will have very damaging impact both on the economy and on the sentiment in ukraine but not surprising that klm have done that when it was only eight years ago when it was only eight years ago when mh 17 was brought down and we might not remember but of course the dutch do remember that as of that 300 deaths, nearly 200 were dutch. so the ramifications are very broad and lloyd's of london, the underwriters, they can be behind a lot of the insurance pollywogs. let's move on times front page with leaders in final push to avert ukraine invasion, and this list all that if efforts very much still ongoing on monday and throughout the week no doubt. i ongoing on monday and throughout the week no doubt-— week no doubt. i think incredibly owerful week no doubt. i think incredibly powerful image _ week no doubt. i think incredibly powerful image photographs - week no doubt. i think incredibly powerful image photographs on | week no doubt. i think incredibly i powerful image photographs on the front page of both the times and the daily telegraph tomorrow morning of a 79—year—old ukrainian in eastern

questionnaire deadline and of course he was given that questionnaire on friday, so what is he planning to do in the north? this friday, so what is he planning to do in the north?— in the north? this is very interesting. _ in the north? this is very interesting. honestly - in the north? this is very l interesting. honestly we've in the north? this is very - interesting. honestly we've got the two issues with the domestic problems that borisjohnson two issues with the domestic problems that boris johnson find himself and with as you said, he has that letter from the police and he has a week to respond, so this week you would naturally assume that that would be head of his in tray. but as is often the case with politicians, they want a diversionary tactic to take away from some problems they might be having a home, so he is going on a tour of the uk and the yorkshire post is announcing here that as part of that tour, he is going to be announcing plans for two green free ports in scotland. now theissue green free ports in scotland. now the issue of reports and school and has been rambling on for a long time with the scottish administration and weapons are not being able to agree on what the right way to go ahead

should be. scotland say because originally the west mr government had said one or two free ports and free ports are significant and this means that local businesses or businesses might be drawn into that area because of very attractive tax breaks and then that should lead to more prosperity for the area and should lead to morejobs for the area. the problem of the scottish administration has is that they of course are in coalition with the green party, and the green party does not approve of most reports. they see it as tax breaks for big corporations and very bad for the environment so this is what we've been this rather strange mishmash and these free ports are going to be called green free ports and that is a nod to the green party, not good enough for the green party in scotland as they are not taking this they say this is just greenwashing and they don't want anything to do with it. they want to wash their hands of the screen ports, so i think this is as easy a win as i

think this is as easy a win as i think down the street would hope it would be and i think what boris johnson is trying to do is i'm getting on with realjobs and all about leveling up and all aboutjobs and prosperity but it's not quite that simple. and prosperity but it's not quite that simple-— and prosperity but it's not quite that simle. ., , ., ., ., that simple. onto the guardian out of their front _ that simple. onto the guardian out of their front page, _ that simple. onto the guardian out of their front page, about - that simple. onto the guardian out of their front page, about a - that simple. onto the guardian out i of their front page, about a damming of theirfront page, about a damming race report they say which reveals vast inequalities across the health service and take us through this. i think going back to what daisy was saying. _ think going back to what daisy was saying, there is a link between that story— saying, there is a link between that story of— saying, there is a link between that story of borisjohnson saying, there is a link between that story of boris johnson going on this face-saving — story of boris johnson going on this face—saving tour of the north and it won'tiust_ face—saving tour of the north and it won'tjust be scotland but it will he the _ won'tjust be scotland but it will be the north of england as well and he will_ be the north of england as well and he will be selling this idea of leveling up which is part of the manifesto of course a big part of the reason — manifesto of course a big part of the reason why he was elected and he was talking _ the reason why he was elected and he was talking about leveling up in education and transport and skilled work and _ education and transport and skilled work and also in health. and yet if you look— work and also in health. and yet if you took at— work and also in health. and yet if you look at the front page of the guardian, — you look at the front page of the guardian, we have got a clear and present, — guardian, we have got a clear and present, urgent problem with the quality— present, urgent problem with the quality of— present, urgent problem with the quality of health care in this country _ quality of health care in this country. this seems to me and i presented — country. this seems to me and i presented report led by the university of manchester and a state

dying in mothers nearly dying and sadly she admitted there was racism were s these black or asian mothers to be were not getting the same treatment as the white mothers and some of it was also lack of data collection and ignorance was up because of course your race does defiant sometimes the health problems you might have. i won't have the same problems giving birth as somebody who is not wife was that we are all different and our genes are different. and there is very little information and data about that and very little knowledge. and that's just one area. we know mental health is another big area where there are huge outcomes and of course poverty is also an influence on your medical outcomes and that can affect people of all races. so it is a very couple gated issue and it's an issue that sometimes can be hijacked. it's an issue that sometimes can be hi'acked. , . ., it's an issue that sometimes can be hi'acked., , ., , , , it's an issue that sometimes can be hi'acked. , ., , , , hijacked. just to briefly “ump back in on that because _ hijacked. just to briefly “ump back in on that because i _ hijacked. just to brieflyjump back

problem that many imagined that when elements would have and that if the appearance of real snow. it's go through this one. fits appearance of real snow. it's go through this one.— appearance of real snow. it's go through this one. as we know, it does et through this one. as we know, it does get very — through this one. as we know, it does get very cold _ through this one. as we know, it does get very cold in _ through this one. as we know, it does get very cold in beijing - through this one. as we know, it l does get very cold in beijing where the winter olympics are but they don't get much snow. so they compensated expecting to have little or no snow and of course we know that they have done it with fake snow. 222 million l of water were needed before the games to make that fake snow but now they have had a surprising natural snowfall which has made matters difficult because when the real snow lands on the icy fake snow, it makes conditions quite treacherous so they have actually had to cancel or postpone some events because of the snow. but one lovely addition and i don't know if you guys have been following the case of benjamin alexander, who is a british—born butjamaican case of benjamin alexander, who is a british—born but jamaican father, case of benjamin alexander, who is a british—born butjamaican father, so he is jamaica's british—born but jamaican father, so he is jamaica's first alpine olympian and he has been and did not
