is no indication that tonight, there is no indication that they want to start again. so our government's american dream may not become realityjust yet. dharshini david, many thanks. one more story tonight — the duke and duchess of cambridge have left belize after a four—day visit as part of their caribbean tour marking the queen's platinum jubilee. the next stop is jamaica, where the nation is also marking the 60th anniversary of its independence from britain, and as our royal correspondent jonny dymond reports, there have been protests calling for the uk to apologise and pay reparations for slavery. into the sunshine and into controversy. it all looks like business as usual. the governor—general brought a warm welcome. the couple brought thanks from the queen for seven decades of support over her reign. but not everyone is feeling supportive. some here, and some in government, want an apology for slavery,

the slavery that britain ran and that some britons have made vast profits from, the slavery that did so much damage to this country. and there is talk of financial compensation too. outside britain's high commission, its embassy to jamaica, today, a reminder of past pain and present anger. this is an issue that is only building momentum. it's clear to see that belizeans value their environment. from the couple's household, new pictures from their last stop, belize. the government there wanted the couple to see the country's barrier reef. as jamaicans waited for the couple's arrival, it was football star raheem sterling that

took the spotlight. the prince will address the issue of slavery here tomorrow night. as jamaica's future turns out to see the couple, there's no escaping the shadow of the past. jonny dymond, bbc news, kingston, jamaica. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rachel cunliffe, senior associate editor at the new statesman and david bond, deputy political editor at the evening standard. the telegraph says that russian fores have been forced to retreat in several areas as ukrainian troops launched a fightback to regain strategically important territory. in the guardian, putin's forces are accsused

of indiscriminate fire on civilians as the mass exodus of mariupol intensifies. the front page has also a striking photo of a young girl crying as her father says goodbye at a railway station in lviv. the i says that ukrainians face decades of landmine tragedies as a result of unexploded munitions left behind by the russian invasion. in the metro, ukrainians protesters in an inflatable dinghy attempt to block a super yacht linked to sanctioned billionaire roman abramovvich as it arrived at a port in bodrum, in turkey. ahead of tomorrow's spring statement — the financial times says that chancellor rishi sunak is planning to set aside a large part of a windfall in the public finances, risking a backlash from tory mps who'd like to see

those funds used to help households with the cost of living. that was a little flavour of the papers. rachel, you will get us off with a first front page of the daily telegraph, papers. rachel, you will get us off with a first front page of the daily telegraph, and papers. rachel, you will get us off with a first front page of the daily telegraph, and the papers. rachel, you will get us off with a first front page of the daily telegraph, and the fightback. papers. rachel, you will get us off with a first front page of the daily telegraph, and the fightback. there is aood telegraph, and the fightback. there is good news _ telegraph, and the fightback. there is good news and _ telegraph, and the fightback. there is good news and bad _ telegraph, and the fightback. there is good news and bad news - telegraph, and the fightback. ii” is good news and bad news as it were on the telegraph front page on the war in ukraine. the slightly more positive news is that not only are the ukrainian forces managing to hold off the russians but they are actually regaining strategically important territory in a number of areas, particularly around the capital, and they are managing to take back territory that the russians won a few weeks ago so is farfrom being an invasion by the russian would come in and take the territory they and take the whole country, actually, the ukrainians

are taking it back, which is amazing. there are some details in there which stunned me about how badly prepared the russian forces were. some of them have been forced to return because they have got frostbite because they didn't have the right equipment for the conditions and the temperatures are in, they are wearing ukrainian boots because they are better for the conditions than the russian ones so, details like that. the less positive news is, from a security briefing from some us experts, saying that putin has his back against the wall now and as he gets increasingly desperate, the risk that he might use chemical or biological weapons increases, as he runs out of options, which is an incredibly worrying development, and definitely something to keep a close eye on. david. ., ., , , david. one of the really big challenges _ david. one of the really big challenges for _ david. one of the really big challenges for the - david. one of the really big challenges for the us, - david. one of the really big challenges for the us, uk | david. one of the really big i challenges for the us, uk and david. one of the really big - challenges for the us, uk and all of the western allies now, to the point

transparency that comes with democratic systems, which are far from perfect, but at least in democratic systems you know all you hope that the necessary information gets up to the people at the top. not the case in russia and what seems to have happened is that the information that was getting to vladimir putin in the run—up to the invasion was what he wanted to hear, essentially, because everyone around him was too scared to tell him the truth about how this invasion would possibly play out, which leaves you to forces that are incredibly poorly prepared. i mentioned the boots and the frostbite. a couple of weeks ago the frostbite. a couple of weeks ago the defining image of the conflict in ukraine was farmers with tractors dragging away russian tanks that had stalled, often sent to quite jaunty movement which we found uplifting and between the absolute horror of this war. —— jaunty music. we found

towns where the russians had taken territory but did not have the supply lines to get food and fuel and supplies to those on the front line, which is why the invasion stalled. this is all, i have not become a military strategist in the last few weeks, but they would say that it last few weeks, but they would say thatitis last few weeks, but they would say that it is crucial to planning an invasion well, and itjust seems that there was this initial assumption that if russia invaded it would all be over very fast, because the ukrainians were pushovers, and the ukrainians were pushovers, and the planning, actually, clearly had a lot of deficiencies. irate the planning, actually, clearly had a lot of deficiencies.— a lot of deficiencies. we will turn to the front _ a lot of deficiencies. we will turn to the front page _ a lot of deficiencies. we will turn to the front page of— a lot of deficiencies. we will turn to the front page of the - a lot of deficiencies. we will turn | to the front page of the guardian, david. really talking about mariupol. david. really talking about mariuool-_ david. really talking about mariuol. ., . , ., ., mariupol. more horrific news out of mariu ol mariupol. more horrific news out of mariuool in — mariupol. more horrific news out of mariupol in the _ mariupol. more horrific news out of mariupol in the southern _ mariupol. more horrific news out of mariupol in the southern area - mariupol. more horrific news out of mariupol in the southern area of. mariupol in the southern area of ukraine — mariupol in the southern area of ukraine. he says russian artillery has released continuing bombardment on mariupol, reducing the besieged

image of the child who has been put on a train at the station, left behind by herfather, people desperately trying to get out, get across into poland, which has accepted over 2000 refugees just into poland, but absolute devastation on the city itself. and no sign that it is going to cease because they were given the ultimatum, they are continuing to fight and because it is true strategically and symbolically important, it doesn't look like somewhere that russia is going to withdraw from. ok. somewhere that russia is going to withdraw from.— somewhere that russia is going to withdraw from. ok. we will turn to the metro. — withdraw from. ok. we will turn to the metro. and _ withdraw from. ok. we will turn to the metro, and the _ withdraw from. ok. we will turn to the metro, and the headline - withdraw from. ok. we will turn to the metro, and the headline is - withdraw from. ok. we will turn to l the metro, and the headline is sling your hook. david. this the metro, and the headline is sling your hook. david.— your hook. david. this is more on the game — your hook. david. this is more on the game of _ your hook. david. this is more on the game of cat _ your hook. david. this is more on the game of cat and _ your hook. david. this is more on the game of cat and mouse - your hook. david. this is more on the game of cat and mouse goingj your hook. david. this is more on i the game of cat and mouse going on around _ the game of cat and mouse going on around various harbours around europe, — around various harbours around europe, around the world, in the
