supporting russia. after almost six years of detention in tehran nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe is finally reunited with her husband and daughter in the uk. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are broadcaster matthew stadlen and annabel denham, director of communications, at think tank institute of economic affairs. hell ago again to you both. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the ft which like many of tomorrow's front pages leads with the sacking

of 800 p80 front pages leads with the sacking of 800 p&0 staff causing a massive problem for british supply chains. as both passenger and freight shipping routes face ten days of disruption. the daily express carries that story as well. it mentions the actions of the captain who walked down his ship to stop security from removing his staff. the telegraph has more details of government ministers ben wallace and priti patel being targeted by hoax calls leading to the war in the ukraine. mrwallace calls leading to the war in the ukraine. mr wallace was asked about potential deployments of british warships to the black sea but he ended the call after becoming suspicious of the person pretending to be ukraine's prime minister. home at last, a beautiful picture on the front of the guardian of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe enjoying the spring sunshine with her husband and

daughter. the british arabian who was imprisoned in iran for six years is back in the united kingdom and been reunited with herfamily. the brutal reality of war is depicted on the front page of the times as it pictures a man warning his mother in a kyiv street yesterday —— the morning. she was killed by debris from a missile strike. in the mirror has an exclusive story about a group of women who've been rescuing children some often, many orphans in basements in key. they've called themselves the claw and have saved over 200 children. that is our look at the front pages. we are going to start off with that story on the front of the mirror. i was riveted reading ms. as they describe the leaders are one of the leaders of this group, the clause describe how they would doing it and what they

were faced with. matthew, i wonder if you could take us to the front page of the mirror, please. yet this is another extraordinary _ page of the mirror, please. yet this is another extraordinary story - page of the mirror, please. yet this is another extraordinary story of. is another extraordinary story of hope and goodness and bravery that's emerged from ukraine in the last three weeks. i think so many of us have been horrified by puritans evil would be uplifted by the stories emerging —— putin. met of a certain fighting age of into the 60s have been required to remain in the ukraine to fight, women were allowed to leave with children. some people of course had to look after children. but many, many young children. but many, many young children have had to stay behind sheltering in basements. these remarkable women as you say, they called themselves the cloth, they seem to of rescue 227 children from basements in kyiv where they've been sheltering from the bombs. one of the things i think is saddest about this conflict, said about any

conflict is that children are being traumatised, to be robbed of their childhoods, both at the moment some are being killed, they are living in terror as we speak but also just imagine what will happen to the lives of those who are lucky enough to survive. i think this story of bravery is something we can all hold onto as a beacon of hope amidst unremitting grimace. i said an hour ago that it's interesting to see ukraine start to be edged off the front pages. we are moving into the fourth week, we had 22 days of this intolerable, illegal invasion of ukraine. and i really hope that our attention spans continue to be gripped by theirs. it is so important to remember that effectively, what putin is doing to ukraine is what hitler tried to do and did do to european countries in the 1930s and i9 and did do to european countries in the 1930s and 19 a0 max. it behoves all of us not to lose interest in

this while people are suffering in the way that they are. find this while people are suffering in the way that they are.— the way that they are. and well, there are so _ the way that they are. and well, there are so many _ the way that they are. and well, there are so many stories - the way that they are. and well, | there are so many stories coming the way that they are. and well, - there are so many stories coming of there are so many stories coming of the heroines and the bravery that is taking place in uk. we are talking about people who are travelling across continents to do their bit as well. �* , ., , well. it's really quite extraordinary. - well. it's really quite l extraordinary. reading well. it's really quite - extraordinary. reading some well. it's really quite _ extraordinary. reading some of the details _ extraordinary. reading some of the details of— extraordinary. reading some of the details of this claw group and what they've _ details of this claw group and what they've been doing, these women have been sneaking through woods full of russian _ been sneaking through woods full of russian soldiers. they been clambering through bombed out buildings. and they're doing it to try and save ukraine's future, to save _ try and save ukraine's future, to save ukraine's children. like matthew— save ukraine's children. like matthew said, just look at how chiidren— matthew said, just look at how children have been caught in the cross— children have been caught in the cross hairs — children have been caught in the cross hairs if not directly targeted for that _ cross hairs if not directly targeted for that matter during this conflict _ for that matter during this conflict. already thus far we had the bombing of the children's hospital in moria pole. even in the story— hospital in moria pole. even in the story where — hospital in moria pole. even in the story where they people are going to

to try and _ ukraine themselves but who are going to try and do their bit to support the ukrainian effort to protect these — the ukrainian effort to protect these children. it's quite wonderful.— these children. it's quite wonderful. ., ., wonderful. the line that got me about the story _ wonderful. the line that got me about the story is _ wonderful. the line that got me about the story is a _ wonderful. the line that got me about the story is a very - wonderful. the line that got me | about the story is a very innocent question, as a parent you often hear it from your own children and not just when you been at work for the day, what time you coming on? but one of the lines was, what are you coming to get me? these are the messages that some of the children was sending members of the claw. let's move onto the front page of the telegraph. we are still with ukraine. hoax calls him a fake video calls, russian meddling perhaps is one way it's been described. matthew. just a final thought on that incredible mirror story, the leader of that group of women is a 50—year—old and said that the children are ukraine's choate green treasures and have to be rescues. i thought that sort sums it up. —— the

children are ukraine's great treasures. a lot remain in ukraine and ready to attack invading rushers. as far the telegraph story, even closer to home, this is a remarkable story it away but perhaps not as surprised we shouldn't be surprised, the defence secretary ben wallace has been hoaxed by someone for eight or nine minutes, this is our own defence secretary. hoaxed by somebody who looked and sounded like a ukrainian prime minister. of course he wasn't. when talking about prime minister to be clear, not president zelensky. he was asked a series of misleading questions that became more and more extreme, it seemed. it was set up perhaps by the kremlin in order to try to elicit damaging sensitive information from him or perhaps to make a fool of him. perhaps to edit him in a compromising way afterwards was at

it's extraordinary that he was hoaxed for eight or nine minutes was up hoaxed for eight or nine minutes was up isjust a reminder that hoaxed for eight or nine minutes was up is just a reminder that everybody involved in this conflict, politicians, big tech companies, people who use social media or twitter we all have a responsibility to make sure we are on our toes about fake russian news, to call it out when we see it and not to fall for it. in this case, it seems not that much damage has been done although priti patel, the home secretary replied to ben wallace's tweet saying the same thing happened jar early in the week and it seemed to be an attempt to divide us. but as ben wallace says, no amount of russian this information will distract us from the horrors of what's going on in ukraine. just a final, important point, president biden broke his own line in recent days which is been held for a while and it almost off—the—cuff remark perhaps, in answer to a question given to him by a reporter in which

he said that president putin is a war criminal. you do not get starker than that. a , war criminal. you do not get starker than that. , , .,, ., . ,, than that. many people of the back ofthat than that. many people of the back of that saying _ than that. many people of the back of that saying what _ than that. many people of the back of that saying what you _ than that. many people of the back of that saying what you gonna - than that. many people of the back of that saying what you gonna do i of that saying what you gonna do about it? yes, we know the good and impose costs, that came from secretary blinken. a lot of questions about what can be done next. annabelle, on the story, i just want to bring up the ben wallace tweets. there was another tweet from priti patel whojust confirmed a similar thing happened to her. i don't know if our views can actually read that. i'll summarize, he said in an attempt was made by an imposter claiming to be the prime minister of ukraine. posing several misleading questions after becoming suspicious, terminate the call, no amount of russian disinformation, distortion and dirty tricks can distract from russia's human rights abuses an illegal invasion of ukraine. i like to pick up invasion of ukraine. i like to pick up the point of this information. do

you think we are now living in an era where we are far more sensitive and aware and willing to question what we are reading or hearing then we were four or five years ago? i we were four or five years ago? i think we are certainly in an era where there is a huge amount of disinformation of where you get confirmation bars everywhere you look confirmation bars everywhere you took across — confirmation bars everywhere you look across social media. if it so happens — look across social media. if it so happens that you are a lockdown sceptic _ happens that you are a lockdown sceptic or— happens that you are a lockdown sceptic or an anti—vax are, it's really— sceptic or an anti—vax are, it's really not _ sceptic or an anti—vax are, it's really not difficult to find on the internet — really not difficult to find on the internet information that cements or help cement your worldview. obviously, that is very troubling. our people getting their news from trusted _ our people getting their news from trusted news sources? they are obviously — trusted news sources? they are obviously questions to be asked. we have the _ obviously questions to be asked. we have the online safety bill being introduced in parliament today about the role _ introduced in parliament today about the role of _ introduced in parliament today about the role of big tech companies are going _ the role of big tech companies are going to _ the role of big tech companies are going to play in this and are they shutting — going to play in this and are they shutting down incorrect information, damaging _

captains of ships try to keep their staff on board perhaps in cahoots with unions who are desperately angry about this and want to defend them. one ship, the pride of holcomb of the captain sealed him and 1a0 strong crew inside the ship. we've heard stories of people wielding handcuffs and balaclava is coming from companies engaged by p&o to try and remove crews from these bows. what a disgusting way to trade and cheat your employers who have no doubt worked incredibly hard. maybe in some cases they are the sole breadwinners in the family. i've had reports of members of staff in tears not knowing where they're going to go to next. this is a horrific story. the government seems to have been blindsided by her. i think it's worth mentioning that p&o, although in iconic british brand is owned now

ijy in iconic british brand is owned now by a dubai company. therefore there are big questions to be asked about how much we want britain to be bought out by foreign companies and it is particularly resolute to enact relevant in the oligarchs belated many would argue have been sanctioned. why are we selling off football clubs for example newcastle football clu bs for exa m ple newcastle united football clubs for example newcastle united to saudi money because that makes no sense to me and we got to have a national conversation about it. �* ., ., , ., ., it. i've got a statement here that come from _ it. i've got a statement here that come from the _ it. i've got a statement here that come from the department - it. i've got a statement here that come from the department for. come from the department for transport which says that the secretary of state for transport but also who spoke today in the commons, the ministerfor also who spoke today in the commons, the minister for maritime affairs were unaware of what was happening with p&0 were unaware of what was happening with p&o today. also the secretary of state for business was not aware until today according to his official, criticising the government earlier today for not acting sooner. confirming that the government was

not informed until yesterday evening. do you it you work for the institute of active economic affairs, do you think this is a fair question, how could they not of known? ~ ., ., ~ question, how could they not of known? ~ ., ., ,, ., known? well, if we are talking about rivate known? well, if we are talking about private companies _ known? well, if we are talking about private companies and _ known? well, if we are talking about private companies and the _ known? well, if we are talking about private companies and the actions i private companies and the actions that they— private companies and the actions that they taking that you can understand being arrived at a situation _ understand being arrived at a situation where the government has been blindsided as not to offend them _ been blindsided as not to offend them of— been blindsided as not to offend them. of course the government is more _ them. of course the government is more intricately linked to the story that might've been to a practice in another— that might've been to a practice in another company because of the money that was— another company because of the money that was given to p80 during the coronavirus pandemic through the furlough _ coronavirus pandemic through the furlough scheme. i read earlier that it was— furlough scheme. i read earlier that it was around £15 million that was spent _ it was around £15 million that was spent keeping those employees in theiriohs— spent keeping those employees in theirjobs only for p&0 to sack them 'ust theirjobs only for p&0 to sack them just a _ theirjobs only for p&0 to sack them just a few— theirjobs only for p&0 to sack them just a few months after the covid restrictions or the toughest covid restrictions or the toughest covid restrictions were lifted. with that in mind, —

like six months, months and months for her replacement license. at the moment she's only got a paper copy. nat med, sole driver on the holiday, more serious point is, people all over the uk haven't really struggling this consequence of not being able to renew or apply for the licence for the first time because there this chaotic backlog. the story is essentially that thousands of people were sent home at the beginning of the pandemic, somewhat put on something called paid specially, 3000 or hundred and for nine hours and 20 or months of the pandemic 500 staff either because they were is paid specially vo because they were striking were simply not working. the times at the reporter and undercover and apparently managers will watching netflix relation working. this is a really big scandal it will get to the bottom of it he says on the front page of the paper. let's see what happens because i think given we've had real shortages of drivers,

the big moment came with seven minutes left on the clock. sent off for that foul. the frenchman and yet in the ninth minute of a digital time nigeria fought, creating pandemonium at goodison park. just their second victory in 13 premiere games to put three points between them in the relegation zone. west ham it through to the roper league quarterfinals after beating seville in london stadium. trailing one nilfrom the first leg subject rose majestically to square that time five minutes before halftime. that was how would remain a normal time. as though written in the stars ukrainians yamalanco was on hand and hundred and 12 minute to send west ham into glass eight becoming the first english team to beat the spaniards in the europa league. rangers reached their first european

quarter—final in ia years after a a—2 aggregate victory over red star belgrade. the serbian side won this leg 2—1 but ryan kent's second—half finish ended the tie as a contest. there was also an aggregate win for leicester so they are through to the europa conference league quarter—finals. the england manager gareth southgate has expressed his concern for fans who won't feel comfortable travelling to the world cup in qatar. homosexulity is illegal in the country and public displays of affection banned. announcing his squad for two up coming friendly matches with switzerland and ivory coast, he said it's something the fa have thought about. we want a game that is inclusive. it is not a good situation that we have got certain parts of our fan base who might feel uncomfortable travelling to the world cup. there have obviously been issues with the buildings of the stadium. we can't affect that now. there are ongoing concerns about workers' rights. so i think it is important

that we give the players that background, that understanding. southgate has called up uncapped crystal palace defender marc guehi and club mate conor gallagher for those matches. there's no place though for the manchester united pair of marcus rashford and jadon sancho. after the disappointmnet of the ashes, england's mens cricketers have finally found the scoring touch in west indies. an innings of brutal brilliance from ben stokes giving the tourists a fabulous platform to build on. captainjoe root kicked on from his overnight 119, he made 150 but the star of the day without a doubt, ben stokes hitting his 11th test century in thrilling style offjust 11a balls as england declared on 507 for 9, honourable mention to matt fisher, grabbing a wicket with his second ball in test cricket to leave windies on 71—1 at stumps. to the six nations and some surprises from eddiejones after naming his england side for saturday's match with grand slam chasing france in paris leicester's freddie steward, swaps to the wing with george furbank replacing him. sam underhill comes into the back row in place of the injured tom curry and ben youngs replaces

harry randall at scrum—half. england are attempting to avoid a second successive fifth—place finish in the championship, with defeat potentially leaving only italy below them in the table. big news for scotland. finn russell has been dropped for scotland's game with ireland and will start on the bench against ireland, with blair kinghorn preferred at number 10. edinburgh's kinghorn — a full—back until this season — starts a six nations game at 10 for the first time. ireland need victory and england to beat grand slam—chasing france in paris later on saturday — to claim the title. we see an opportunity for blair. available for our match last week. the week before that he played his bessie game of the season. and he's game on twice off the bench and shown what he can do in thatjersey on the opposite side for us for the season against tonga, played pretty well.

he's built on the performance. we believe this is the right game in the right time for him to play. ireland making a change too ulster captain iain henderson will make his first start of the championship. the second row is one of three changes made by head coach andy farrell, coming in place of vice—captain james ryan, who dropped out of the squad after a head collision with england last weekend. to cheltenham now where the crowds have been given a st patricks day treat with big wins for irish jockeys and trainers. flooring porter has won the feature race — the stayers hurdle for the second year in a row. the gavin cromwell—trained four to one shot was was given a superb ride by famous irish trainer willie mullins' nephew danny. the seven—year—old won by two and three—quarter lengths from thyme hill with paisley park, the 2019 winner, a nose away in third. rachel blackmore won the turners novices' chase, and there was a huge reception for paul townsend, winning the ryanair chase title. in super league, wigan warriors survived a fightback from castleford tigers to win 32—22 wigan raced into a comfortable lead

and never looked back, luke farrell with his second try of the night here and that was enough for the win despite three castleford tries in the last 20 minutes. and that's all the sport for now. there's going to be a lot of dry weather for the next week or so. on thursday, we saw more clouds. we will see less of this and more of this, blue skies over the next few days. very colourful picture there. this was the cloud that gave us the rain on wednesday as well out of the way. this cloud is not reaching our shores. with clear skies like winds, it will be a chilly start to friday. maybe a few mist and fog patches across wales, the midlands, the west country. these will lift in the morning

and the sunshine comes out far and wide once again. the winds tending to freshen up a little bit in the afternoon, but it's likely to be a warmer day than it was on thursday. temperatures of 13 degrees in the central belt of scotland, and newcastle, a high of 16 celsius in the southeast of england. the weather quiets down because high pressure is building, in the centre of that strong highs going to be pushing to the east. it's going to be dry on saturday, but winds will be a bit stronger. that will be a noticeable change. no frost around, probably no fog on saturday morning, but there will be lots of sunshine during the day. winds coming in for the east or southeast means that the highest temperatures will always be across more sheltered areas. temperatures may be no higher than 12 or 13 degrees.

could make 16 along the coast of northwest england, but it's up towards the north west highlands and perhaps even into the moray firth that temperatures could reach 18 degrees. sunday, there will be some changes. it will be cold for a start, and there'll be more cloud around. still some sunshine around on sunday, but more cloud, especially for some eastern part of the uk. it could be thick enough to give one or two light showers in east anglia. the winds won't be as strong sunday, but temperatures will be lower, struggling to make double figures. let's end on a positive note because early next week, it will get warmer.
