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 daily mail leads on prince andrew�*s out of court settlement and describes it as a "humiliation". the mirror speculates that the queen and prince charles �*ordered�* prince andrew to settle out of court. the daily star also focusses on prince andrew settling his case out of court describing him as a "royal wrong �*un". the sun describe prince andrew settling as "his final disgrace" and they say it will mean a "lifetime exile from royal duties". the guardian focuses on what it calls prince andrew avoiding the "humiliation of giving evidence" by settling out of court. the telegraph speculates on the settlement amount —

suggesting the queen will help her son pay more than £12 million. the metro says prince andrew has paid up after previously demanding a jury trial. meanwhile, the times highlights the tensions in ukraine and how there are warnings from the us that there is "no sign of de—escalation" so let�*s begin... we will start with the prince andrew settlement. we will start with the son who has as usual probably the punchis son who has as usual probably the punch is headlined. the sun, duke settles six case, his final disgrace. how does the sun see it and how do you see a? the disgrace. how does the sun see it and how do you see a?— and how do you see a? the sun is absolutely — and how do you see a? the sun is absolutely damning _ and how do you see a? the sun is absolutely damning on the - and how do you see a? the sun is absolutely damning on the story. | and how do you see a? the sun is. absolutely damning on the story. it says it seals his fate, there�*s no word back for him, as a front line royal. it also carries this figure which the telegraph carries that

prince andrew settle for a figure of around £12 million. because all the papers they are been unequivocal in the combination for him, seeing is an incredibly humiliating episode for notches prince andrew but for the royal family. for notches prince andrew but for the royalfamily. and for some, they�*re at a critical crossroads now, do they face an existential crisis come out they move on, how does the next generation ensure the royal family remains relevant? does the next generation ensure the royalfamily remains relevant? the sun has more detail it says the deal was thrashed out over 72 hours. i suppose consistent with the telegraph, it telegraph says the deal was done on the weekend and really the walls were closing in once andrew faced the threat of deposition. there is no grey area in tears. even if we don�*t know all the facts, even if andrew hasn�*t been found guilty in a court of law, certainly in the court of public

is very mysterious, we don�*t know. the telegraph sites that he gets an allowance of £250,000 a year, but that�*s not going to cover such a astronomical legalfee. it�*s relevant because there�*ve been previous reports that the queen has fallen out with andrew, she�*s absolutely dismayed at what�*s happened. she and prince charles were behind the stripping of his royal titles, were behind the stripping of his royaltitles, making were behind the stripping of his royal titles, making him stamp back from front line royal duties. yes, very relevant. i think pretty much universally people think the queen has conducted herself very well over her many years on the throne. someone who has been a great example which can�*t be said perhaps for other members of the royal family. but i think now the question is, what happens with the next generation of royals? 0bviously prince charles in line to the throne but really for my mime the future

lies on how prince william and kate can keep the royals relevant and engage with the public. i think they�*ve got really good, positive public profiles and seem to be somewhat empathetic figures. for my money, that�*s where the royal family need to put their focus now. you said they might _ need to put their focus now. you said they might have crossed back crossroad surpassed the crossroads, i�*m getting my metaphors mixed up, how difficult might that be when the telegraph says the queen wanted to get past it is actually paying for? all day long, is soon as news of the settlement — all day long, is soon as news of the settlement was released everyone was asking how _ settlement was released everyone was asking how much and who's gonna pay a? the _ asking how much and who's gonna pay a? the significant thing here is not so much _ a? the significant thing here is not so much andrews source of income although— so much andrews source of income although it's interesting and the sale of— although it's interesting and the sale of his ski chalet it may go some — sale of his ski chalet it may go some later towards paying that it would _ some later towards paying that it would have to be a substantial ski chalet _ would have to be a substantial ski chalet it's— would have to be a substantial ski chalet. it's the idea that comes from _ chalet. it's the idea that comes from the — chalet. it's the idea that comes from the queens private estate, it's

but also quite significantly in his address he said to the russian people, we are not your enemy. so still looking to bridge build, give them a ladder to climb down. but still some very alarming details emerging this evening that russians have launched a cyber attack on some of ukraine�*s financial institutions which some people see as a prelude to war. times also says the roger is at its most powerful capacity since the ussr broke up. 0bviously at its most powerful capacity since the ussr broke up. obviously there is concern this may trigger a false flag situation where they create a false situation which they then use as an excuse to go to war. we�*ve had the surgeon general of nato saying he doesn�*t see any evidence of russia backing down. the issue here is obviously, you not dealing with a rational actor, you�*re dealing with a dictator but also with a country

which is willing to take multiple paradoxical contradictory positions. at the moment it�*s still very much a knife edge. interestingly, how much of this whole debate has been played out in public? this idea of megaphone diplomacy, how the intelligence services have all share their information about what they know to try and spook russia, basically say to put in, we know exactly what you�*re doing. good to see the west taking a very proactive approach this script are moderators, somewhat you see putin act with impunity when it comes to the west. good to see they are getting on the front foot. 0bviously, good to see they are getting on the front foot. obviously, we don�*t know exactly putin does invade ukraine how much these sanctions the west are threatening will cripple russia. 0ne are threatening will cripple russia. one of the reasons we should take this time story seriously is it was written by six of your colleagues on the front page, that article which surely must be some kind of record.

how do you see the story? i think it's interesting that biden is taking — it's interesting that biden is taking the approach that he has done _ taking the approach that he has done i— taking the approach that he has done. i think it's good that communication is still open between the us— communication is still open between the us and _ communication is still open between the us and russia. we need to remember that over the weekend the whisperings were that russia was going _ whisperings were that russia was going to — whisperings were that russia was going to invade ukraine on wednesday. it sounds like that's not a consensus — wednesday. it sounds like that's not a consensus at that moment. i would say that— a consensus at that moment. i would say that putin will see the current situation — say that putin will see the current situation as a victory, all eyes on him, _ situation as a victory, all eyes on him. him — situation as a victory, all eyes on him, him sitting opposite 0laf schoiz— him, him sitting opposite 0laf scholz on— him, him sitting opposite 0laf scholz on that ridiculously long table. — scholz on that ridiculously long table, socially and emotionally distant — table, socially and emotionally distant from him. perhaps warmer words _ distant from him. perhaps warmer words between him and 0laf scholz then certainly a surrogate lover off and lose _ then certainly a surrogate lover off and lose trust which lover of said his conversation with his counterpart in the uk it was like a mute _ counterpart in the uk it was like a mute person talking to a deaf person —

on the one trophy they�*re so desperate to win? 0lly foster was watching as they travelled to sporting lisbon. 30 years ago pep guardiola won his competition before it was even called the champions league. first as a player with barcelona and then twice as their manager. but for the past decade the closest he�*s come years finally manchester city lost to chelsea, that was a painful night in portugal. this was anything but and a place in the quarterfinals should now be a formality. the offside flag might have cut the city celebration short for a well worked opener but they were reignited after a lengthy var check. this was a thing of beauty. this was the sporting goalies brief view of it. by half—time it was four, a tap in for phil foden. there was another from silver though not half as clean as his first. did the break break their momentum? not quite but sterling curling a fifth into the top corner was the last of the goals.

league this will only raise expectations that this is finally the year city crack in europe. well, let�*s turn our attentions now to the star studded clash between paris saint—germain and real madrid in the french capital. it looked like madrid were going to hold out for the draw they set up for — especially when lionel messi�*s second half penalty was saved by thibault courtois. but three minutes into injury time, a moment of magic from who else kylian mbappe, weaving his way past two defenders before calmly nutmegging courtois. so it�*s advantage psg going into the second leg. just one game in the premier league tonight, as manchester united beat brighton 2—0 at old trafford. despite brighton being the better side in the first half, cristiano ronaldo put united ahead after the break. albion then had captain lewis dunk sent off and bruno fernandez wrapped up the three points in injury time. united are up to fourth. in the championship... cardiff scored twice in the last 20

minutes to beat coventry 2—nil. two second half goals saw midtable milwall beat 4th placed queens park rangers, also 2—nil in that one. and it finished goal less between sheffield united and hull. and one game to tell you about in the scottish premiership — the managerless aberdeen salvaged a point with a contentious penalty to prevent stjohnstone moving off the foot of the table. 0ne—all it finised there. the russian figure skater kamila valieva, who failed a drugs test in december, returned to the ice at the winter olympics this afternoon and topped the standings in the individual short programme. the 15 year old claims that the failed test was down to contamination from her grandfather�*s heart medicine. the court of arbitration for sport ruled yesterday that she could carry on competing in beijing. she has already won team gold for the russian olympic committee last week, but the medals for that have been withheld, as will any in this competition should she make it onto the podium, as investigations into the circumstances of her positive test continue.

she fought back tears at the end of her routine as she was cheered on by fellow russians in the stands. its been a good day in beijing for great britain�*s curlers, the men are through to the semi—finals after a morale boosting 7—6 win over sweden. bruce mouat, grant hardie, bobby lammie, and hammy mcmillan got the better of the world champions to claim a sixth win from seven matches. they have two more round robin matches to play, against the russian olympic committee and canada who are also in the top four at the moment we�*ve got two tough games still to come, the russians and the canadians as well. to win those two games and get to the semifinal would be the best situation for us, so we will obviously have to come out and play really well to beat both of them. we are very chuffed with that performance so if we do that again, we will be close and team gb�*s women beatjapan10—4

to keep their medal hopes alive. they�*re now in a strong position to finish in the top—four with two more matches to play against china and the russian olympic committee. great britain�*s two—man bobsleigh team crashed on their third run in beijing on tuesday the sled, being driven by brad hall with nick gleeson as brakeman, turned over after losing control at the yanqing sliding centre. both athletes walked away unhurt and completed a clean fourth run finishing the competition in 11th place. for the first time in the event there was a clean sweep of the medals, with a germany 1—2—3. hall and gleeson will now regroup for the four—man bob. in rugby union it�*s good news for england fans... centre manu tuilagi is back in the squad for the six nations game against wales. he�*s been playing for his club side sale, following a hamstring injury suffered against south africa in the autumn internationals. the uncapped wasps back row alfie barbeary has been called up. he�*s been in scintillating form for his club this season. potential captain courtney lawes will also continue his return to play after concussion. england�*s women cricketers will play

a test against south africa for the first time in 20 years this summer. it will be played at taunton and will be followed by three one—day internationals and three t20s before a limited overs series against india. england�*s last test was the draw against australia in the ashes series last month. and the two—time grand national winner tiger roll has been ruled out of going for a third race win in april. his owner michael 0�*leary says the 2018 and 2019 allocated weight is �*absurd�*. tiger roll could now be retired after the cheltenham festival next month. and that�*s all the sport for now. hello there. it�*s going to be a stormy few days ahead. the first of two named storms arrives during wednesday, that is storm dudley. and ahead of dudley we have seen this stream of cloud pushing

in on those stronger winds from the atlantic bringing yet more rain across from the west. by the time we get to wednesday morning, most of that wetter weather is out of the way. still some wetness there across northern scotland, but away from here, it�*s a mild start, and there may be some early sunshine, but it will cloud over quickly. we�*ve got the rain coming in from dudley, soon arriving in northern ireland, heavier more persistent rain here pushing into northern england and heading northwards into a good part of scotland. further south, perhaps not too much in the way of rain, but it will be turning milder, very mild in the southeast, temperatures here reaching 16—17 celsius. as it gets milder, the winds are going to be strengthening across many parts of the country throughout the day. now, the main core of strongest winds is still where we have this amber wind warning from the met office. in this area, we are expecting gusts of around 70—80 mph perhaps, more likely to have some damage and disruption as well. now, the winds are picking up sooner because the storm is moving in rapidly. it�*s going to move away

very quickly as well, leaving northern parts of scotland, taking some damaging winds into continental europe on thursday. so by the time we get to thursday morning, the winds won�*t be as strong. it�*s still going to be windy, butjust not as windy. there will be some sunshine during the day on thursday and some showers, and those showers could be of a wintry flavour in the hills in scotland because it�*s quite cold air here. temperatures in the southeast picking at 12 celsius. the winds gradually ease down during thursday, but then we will see the winds really strengthening again in time for friday. that�*s when we see the next named storm arrive, this is storm eunice. and the pressure is falling so rapidly, it�*s undergoing what we call explosive clyclogenesis. and it�*s likely to bring some potentially damaging and disruptive winds more widely towards the uk. not only some very windy conditions, we�*ve also got the possibility of some snow and blizzards in the north. now, at the moment, that is perhaps more likely to be affecting scotland, perhaps the far north of england, but a lot depends on the track of the low.

there is still some uncertainty, but it�*s likely that on friday we will see some more disruption more widely across the uk.
