important and this group of protesters today, i think everyone was kind of watching videos of this happening on twitter, they were basically saying that we are liberating this london mansion of the russian oligarch and saying that basically, inviting ukrainian refugees to move into the property, and kind of, this is about one of the seven tycoons who have been penalised by the uk government, and one protester was saying, there was lots of swearing, and they were saying this house could house 200 people, it is so huge. so, i think a lot of the discussions, sadly on social media, was that they were an awful lot of police cars. and then the arrival of lots of riot police to the same, when it didn't seem as if... i mean, obviously there was public disturbance, but it felt a bit jarring public disturbance, but it felt a bitjarring that public disturbance, but it felt a bit jarring that they were so public disturbance, but it felt a bitjarring that they were so much interest in protecting property, when we have heard so much about the

fact that we don't have the resources to actually apply sanctions quickly and effectively, certainly as much as many people would like, there is this big bash like the moment about whether those sanctions that come in with the economic, are coming into force with 28 days or months so i did feel quite odd to see such a huge police presence for the small protest. the la ers presence for the small protest. the lawyers were _ presence for the small protest. the lawyers were brought in, won't they? and they were not happy that the family property was being occupied, never mind that a country was being occupied. next is the front page of the telegraph, if we could, please, sebastien. and the comments by the prime minister.— prime minister. that's right, boris johnson prime minister. that's right, boris johnson has _ prime minister. that's right, boris johnson has written _ prime minister. that's right, boris johnson has written an _ prime minister. that's right, boris johnson has written an op-ed - prime minister. that's right, boris johnson has written an op-ed in l prime minister. that's right, boris i johnson has written an op-ed in the johnson has written an op—ed in the teiegraph— johnson has written an op—ed in the telegraph where he makes a man but a very interesting statement. he echoes— very interesting statement. he echoes the language of liz truss saying _ echoes the language of liz truss saying that the west made a big

good evening.... hello, i'm mark edwards with your latest sports news. we start in the premier league where the title race is very much alive after manchester city missed the chance to go six points clear at the top. they completely dominated against crystal palace — but couldn't find a way through. reginaldo rosario was watching. palace, having beaten city earlier in the season, had members of their

own, this head are lacking the required precision. city continued to exert pressure in the second half, kevin de bruyne hitting the frame and this goal was kept out. the nurse slowly crept in for city. bernardo silva somehow failing to guide home the cross ofjack relish. disbelief building on the touchline. an opportunity missed for city. selhurst park providing another title twist potential, and the red half of merseyside suddenly senses an opening. after a turbulent week off the pitch, there has been some potentially positive news for chelsea today. the american investment firm tasked with selling the club says it could happen by the end of the month after positive talks with the uk government. the sale had been put on hold following sanctions against chelsea's russian owner

roman abramovich last week. the deadline for bids has been extended to this friday — with more than 20 credible parties interested. the sanctions also mean that chelsea are unable to sell tickets for their forthcoming matches and the club have said they are �*pressing the government�* for that to change. they say meetings are taking place daily and the issue of sporting integrity is also being discussed if fans are not allowed to attend. celtic will face 0ld firm rivals rangers in the semi finals of the scottish cup — after ange postecoglou's side eased into the final four. they thrashed dundee united 3—0 at tannadice park — callum mcgregor putting the away side in front afterjsut 12 minutes. before two goals from giorgos giakoumakis sealed the win. the other semi final will also be a derby as hibernian face edinburgh rivals hearts. meanwhile, the scotland national team have announced they'll play poland in a friendly on the 24th march — with ten pounds from every ticket sold going towards unicef�*s ukraine emergency fund.

the match at hampden park, replaces the world cup play—off semi—final against ukraine, which has been postponed untiljune due to the ongoing war. poland were also due to play russia in their semi—final that day but after fifa threw the russians out of the tournament as a sanction for the invasion, the poles will travel to glasgow instead. to tennis where britain's cameron norrie is in third round action at indian wells later — he faces the world number 18 nikolaz basilashvili. disappointment though for fellow brit dan evans. he's been knocked out in straight sets by the world number 4 rafael nadal. the 21 time major winner edging a tight first set before asserting himself to come through, 7—5 6—3. it's now 17 straight wins for nadal, he's still unbeaten in 2022. england's men hope to get a new managing director and head coach in place before their summer starts injune. that's what the man in temporary charge, sir andrew strauss,

told the bbc today. strauss was at england training in barbados wherejofra archer linked up with the squad — as he continues his recovery from injury. archer bowled in the nets. england hope to have him back at some point this summer, by which time strauss told our cricket correspondent jonathan agnew, he wants to have a new management team ready to go. there is a slight ticking top in terms of the beginning ofjune and we want to get the person in position and then it will be their decision as to around the coach or coaches as well which hopefully also will be in position by the start of the summer but there is a bit of time pressure for us to make that happen. england rugby head coach eddiejones admits questions over whether he should remain in his role are "part of the job". speculation is mounting over jones' future after defeat against ireland on saturday — bringing england's hopes of winning this year's tournament to an end. defeat in their final match against france could see them

finish fifth in the table for a second successive campaign. we are disappointed we are not in a position to win the title. it is probably for other people to judge whether we are growing as a team. i've got my own internal assessment and i know what i am looking at and i like what i say, i like to see the developing spirit of this team, i like to see how they took on island with 14 men and competed right down to the last ten minutes. i think we are moving in the right direction but i am sure other people will have their own direction. and seven—time formula one champion lewis hamilton says he'll change his name to incorporate his mother, carmen's surname. hamilton intends to include �*larbalastier�* as a middle name rather than changing his surname — adding that he is �*really proud' of his family's name and wants it to be part of his legacy. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website.

find out how paul caseyjust missed out on winning golf�*s players championship — australia's cameron smith taking the title. but for now, that's all your sport. a chance of frost. hello. with some clear skies around across the country to start tuesday, a chance of frost just about anywhere. there will be a few exceptions, though. we'll see an area of cloud drift its way across parts of east anglia and the south—east, so temperatures might lift up here into the morning, and temperatures higher across western scotland and northern ireland because we'll see outbreaks of rain and lots of cloud push in. best of the sunshine, england and wales, and you'll feel some warmth and that sunshine, too. 14, 15, 16 degrees possible compared to just 7 or 8 across the north of scotland.

as we go into tuesday night, those outbreaks of rain pushes eastwards across scotland and northern ireland. cloud amount increased through england and wales with some spots of rain and drizzle starting to develop into the morning. keeping temperatures up here, but with clear skies to western scotland, northern ireland, of frost around. but it's here where we see the brightest weather on wednesday, outbreaks of rain for england and wales.

welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines... a russian strike on a block of flats in kyiv kills one person and injures 12. this is the nightmare for the city — more attacks like this and, of course, they're vulnerable to missile strikes. but kyiv is big and sprawling, and the defenders have many advantages, which they're using. scenes of devastation in the southern port city of mariupol, where food, water and heating are said to have become desperately scarce. the unites states has warned it's watching china very closely for any attempt to help russia in its attack on ukraine. and an anti—war protestor
