hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejournalist & times radio presenterjenny kleeman and giles kenningham — political commentator & former conservative party press chief. tomorrow�*s front pages, starting with... the independent�*s front page story is prince andrew settling his case with virgina giuffre the yorkshire post says the amount prince andrew has to pay is a "substantial sum" he�*s always denied the allegations against. the metro describes how prince andrew has paid up "at last" the telegraph have the settlement figure prince andrew has agreed as more than £12 million.

the guardian focuses on what they call settling out of court. the front page of the i summarises the key points on the long—running story. key points on the long—running story. meanwhile, the financial times leads on vladimir putin�*s talks with the west over tensions in ukraine. so let�*s begin... will start with the telegraph which deals with the story which pretty much every paper is dealing with, the settlement in the civil lawsuit case. queen to help pay for £12 million settlement. what�*s interesting is that the telegraph names that figure of 12 million which is not named in the paragraph orso which is not named in the paragraph or so of settlement we saw filed before the court. do take us through the story and how the telegraph cut the story and how the telegraph cut the number, please. ezrer the story and how the telegraph cut the number, please.— the number, please. ever since the sto of the number, please. ever since the story of the — the number, please. ever since the story of the settlement _ the number, please. ever since the story of the settlement broke - story of the settlement broke everybody has been asking, how much is he paying and who is actually

footing the bill? the telegraph is come up with this 12 million figure and says the queen is going to be footing the bill. this was unexpected. the princes lawyer had come out defiantly swinging, he had demanded a jury trial. virginia giuffre said she would never settle and wanted to in apology. she got an apology but she did get in expression of regret from the prince who is going to make a donation to her foundation. who is going to make a donation to herfoundation. he recognised that she was a victim of abuse but not sexual abuse, the word sexual isn�*t in there. he recognises something but perhaps not everything that she wanted him to recognise. only weeks ago he was saying that she was out for money, the obligations were baseless. this is quite a turnaround. but the detail in the telegraph is interested in, i don�*t know where they get this £12 million

figure from but the queen has already provisionally funded prince andrews legal fund this is an enormous amount of money and the suggestion is the queen wants to draw a line under this because of all the embarrassment and pain it is because the royal family during a very difficult time for the royal family. there is no admission of guilt in all of this. but his reputation is irreparably tarnished and there is no possible return to public life at least for decades the telegraph says, i would say forever after all of this.— after all of this. giles, looking at the story. _ after all of this. giles, looking at the story. any — after all of this. giles, looking at the story, any idea _ after all of this. giles, looking at the story, any idea where - after all of this. giles, looking at the story, any idea where the . after all of this. giles, looking at the story, any idea where the 12| the story, any idea where the 12 million comes from? and any idea about the public reaction to the telegraph story that the queen herself will help to pay for the settlement?— herself will help to pay for the settlement? ~' ., , ., , settlement? like to see how they come from _ settlement? like to see how they come from this _ settlement? like to see how they come from this 12 _ settlement? like to see how they come from this 12 million - settlement? like to see how they come from this 12 million figure. | come from this 12 million figure. it's interesting in the article how much _ it's interesting in the article how much the — it's interesting in the article how much the duke is worth about where his wealth _ much the duke is worth about where his wealth comes from is still

event and i think they�*re going to try as much is possible the royal family to avoid any photo opportunities with prince andrew included. there aren�*t very mandy prince andrew fans, there are very many people of come out of the woodwork trying to defend him in any sort of capacity. none of the charities who lost him as patron fought to have them back. i think this is a door that a lot of people want to be closed.— want to be closed. looking at the platinum jubilee, _ want to be closed. looking at the platinum jubilee, i _ want to be closed. looking at the platinum jubilee, i remember - want to be closed. looking at the i platinum jubilee, i remember silver jubilee platinumjubilee, i remember silver jubilee when there was a street party and the gold and diamond jubilee. when we look back on this year, it�*s way too early to do that but will be jubilee year, it�*s way too early to do that but will bejubilee come to be overshadowed by this or will the settlement help to focus on the jubilee without andrew? this settlement help to focus on the jubilee without andrew? as you say in the ast jubilee without andrew? as you say in the past its _ jubilee without andrew? as you say in the past it's been _ jubilee without andrew? as you say in the past it's been massively - in the past it's been massively unifying — in the past it's been massively unifying events which have brought the country out in the streets. you see this _ the country out in the streets. you see this great sense of community and camaraderie. clearly the royal

the headline in the financial times, putin open to talks but prolongs invasion threat against ukraine. the first sentence of the ft story, latimer bhutanese tensions in the ukraine crisis. is that what it feels like —— vladimir putin. as i would feel like tonight? has a temperature going down a bit? i was temperature going down a bit? i was really surprised _ temperature going down a bit? i was really surprised by _ temperature going down a bit? i was really surprised by the _ temperature going down a bit? i was really surprised by the take on this was of— really surprised by the take on this was of the — really surprised by the take on this was of the tensions were eased by the withdrawal of troops from the ukrainian — the withdrawal of troops from the ukrainian border. but this comes from _ ukrainian border. but this comes from unverified video released by the russians and in the face of a large _ the russians and in the face of a large cyber attack that took place today— large cyber attack that took place today against the ukrainian ministry of defence to major state banks. there _ of defence to major state banks. there are — of defence to major state banks. there are different kinds of warfare and i_ there are different kinds of warfare and i think— there are different kinds of warfare and i think we need to look very carefully— and i think we need to look very carefully at cyber warfare as much as troops — carefully at cyber warfare as much as troops. borisjohnson carefully at cyber warfare as much as troops. boris johnson talking about— as troops. boris johnson talking about field hospitals being constructed near the border. it surprises— constructed near the border. it surprises me actually that the financial—

where or how. it�*s still quite opaque. megaphone diplomacy is a good way of putting it. megaphone intelligence gathering and disseminating is another one. giles, what is your— disseminating is another one. giles, what is your assessment _ disseminating is another one. giles, what is your assessment of - disseminating is another one. giles, what is your assessment of how - disseminating is another one. giles, what is your assessment of how the | what is your assessment of how the uk government come up borisjohnson endless trust tressa dealing with this from the uk point of view? fin this from the uk point of view? on the whole the way the west and the uk have dealt with it so far has been _ uk have dealt with it so far has been impressive. they've been on the front foot _ been impressive. they've been on the front foot. they've been incredibly is doing _ front foot. they've been incredibly is doing that assertive while still leaving — is doing that assertive while still leaving him a ladder to climb down. were _ leaving him a ladder to climb down. were not— leaving him a ladder to climb down. were not dealing with a rational actor— were not dealing with a rational actor here. so it's quite hard to predict — actor here. so it's quite hard to predict what is going to do next. of course _ predict what is going to do next. of course it— predict what is going to do next. of course it may be many more contradictions to come. let's come back home — contradictions to come. let's come back home to _ contradictions to come. let's come back home to the _ contradictions to come. let's come back home to the york _ contradictions to come. let's come back home to the york shire - contradictions to come. let's come back home to the york shire post | contradictions to come. let's come i back home to the york shire post and a news news story for us not ukraine, not printed are but a new. sajid javid not ruling out possibility of charges for covid tests. so if i go to the chemist how

to rack
