tv   The Papers  BBC News  April 4, 2022 11:30pm-12:00am BST

11:30 pm
this is bbc news, the headlines... president zelensky has visited the town of bucha, and talks of his shock at seeing dead civilians on the streets and mass graves. he's accused russian forces of genocide. russia says video of bodies in the streets have been manipulated. president biden has led international condemnation as more evidence emerges of alleged atrocities. he called for president vladimir putin to be tried for war crimes. france and germany are expelling russian diplomats in response to the killings in bucha. berlin has announced that a0 envoys have been told to leave. a growing list of countries are also calling for more sanctions against russia. and the un secretary general, antonio guterres, has said
11:31 pm
governments and businesses are lying about their efforts to reduce climate change. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are dan sabbagh, who's the defence and security editor at the guardian, and the author and journalist, emma woolf. let's take a look at some of tomorrow's front pages — and a warning that some contain distressing images. the metro leads with the mayor of motyzhyn and her family — teportedly kidnapped, tortured, and killed by russian troops as ukraine's president says soldiers are killing civilians for pleasure.
11:32 pm
—— reportedly kidnapped. the i reports that europe is "split on funding putin's war". joe biden calls for him to face a war crimes trial, while president macron demands a ban on russian energy. the ft leads with this, too, with both the us and france calling for a significant escalation of sanctions against russia. the times also leads with that story as britain also demands "maximum" sanctions. in other news, "it's now or never" to limit global warming, say un scientists. they published their report today which the un secretary general has described as "damning". and the telegraph leads with the government's plans to privatise the broadcaster, channel 4. offers for the channel are expected to be tabled next year. "haunted" is how the mail describes president zelensky, and also marks the equality watchdog ruling on single—sex spaces like toilets and changing rooms. "easter hell—idays" is how the star headline the travel chaos that has hit airports and roads.
11:33 pm
let's begin, there's so much to talk about. let's start with the front page of the times and with ukraine. their headline, "britain calls for tougher sanctions on russia," and this sanction story is in quite a few of the papers — it's very much linked to the picture we see on the front page of the times of president zelensky looking tormented in bucha, where he says that russia has committed genocide because he's seen civilians who have been killed and their bodies left in the streets. and this is what is prompting the west's call for more sanctions. i think so, i think we've been shocked by the images coming out of places like mariupol, but the images today from president zelensky walking around bucha and the reports of
11:34 pm
civilians being tied up, tortured and raped, children being killed, all those things that we are hearing coming out of ukraine is very much focusing minds, and then meeting of g7 and nato later this week, britain is leading the charge. so britain will be calling for tougher sanctions on russia. borisjohnson and president zelensky are very close, and the uk government are determined to end the west's dependence on russian oil and gas, and call. this is causing problems in europe because germany are very much reliant on russian gas, but liz truss is saying she wants to send more weapons and we need to impose more weapons and we need to impose more sanctions and stop this western money basically flowing into the putin's war coffins.—
11:35 pm
money basically flowing into the putin's war coffins. dan, is this a case of it — putin's war coffins. dan, is this a case of it being _ putin's war coffins. dan, is this a case of it being easier _ putin's war coffins. dan, is this a case of it being easier for - putin's war coffins. dan, is this a case of it being easier for britain | case of it being easier for britain to call for tougher sanctions, particularly when it comes to energy, because we aren't so reliant? , ~ ., reliant? yes, i think we are marginally _ reliant? yes, i think we are marginally reliant - reliant? yes, i think we are marginally reliant on - reliant? yes, i think we are i marginally reliant on russian reliant? yes, i think we are - marginally reliant on russian gas, maybe _ marginally reliant on russian gas, maybe 3%, — marginally reliant on russian gas, maybe 3%, and a number of countries are calling for tougher sanctions in light of— are calling for tougher sanctions in light of what's happening in bucha, the alleged war crimes. so france is independent of russia, so is the us - we _ independent of russia, so is the us - we saw_ independent of russia, so is the us — we saw emmanuel macron calling for a ban _ — we saw emmanuel macron calling for a ban on _ — we saw emmanuel macron calling for a ban on oil_ — we saw emmanuel macron calling for a ban on oil and coal imports, but obviously— a ban on oil and coal imports, but obviously the german situation, a third _ obviously the german situation, a third of— obviously the german situation, a third of their gas supply comes from russia _ third of their gas supply comes from russia. germany made a decision 15 years— russia. germany made a decision 15 years ago— russia. germany made a decision 15 years ago today to get out of nuclear, _ years ago today to get out of nuclear, which made it more dependent on russian hydrocarbons. it's dependent on russian hydrocarbons. it's also _ dependent on russian hydrocarbons. it's also completed for a lot of european _ it's also completed for a lot of european countries, smaller countries _ european countries, smaller

11:39 pm
seen so much video footage, but also these photographs, relentless photographs we've seen more in tomorrow's paper really make it very real to many of us, while many on the other side of europe. and i think it's brought alive, and i don't think the russian people are just ignoring all this, i think they are seeing it too. as we know about the internet, it's brought us much closer, so it's harderfor the russian state to simplyjust crack down and not allow people to see or be exposed to any of that what's going on on the ground in ukraine. we do know that russian state tv is pretty much controlled by the russian government, and therefore there is one narrative that is given. dan, do you think there's a generational split perhaps in how

11:42 pm
news in this — in fact, the actual cost of global gdp isn't really that great, just a few percentage points. the real effort needs to be on the part of governments and businesses, and individuals to actually make some stark choices. there's also a section in which the un secretary—general is saying that many big industrial corporations and governments have eventually been lying about this, talking the talk at places like cop26 and not following through on these grand pledges to cut emissions. so it's a crisis, it needs immediate action, but it's also a long—term situation that we have to grasp. we have to do it now, we can't go on saying the same things we've been talking about for decades. find same things we've been talking about for decades. �* . , same things we've been talking about for decades. �* ., , ., for decades. and as if to underline that point. — for decades. and as if to underline that point, dan, _ for decades. and as if to underline that point, dan, the _ for decades. and as if to underline that point, dan, the guardian - for decades. and as if to underline that point, dan, the guardian is i that point, dan, the guardian is pointing out that these reports take

11:46 pm
will be up for sale early next year. dan, it's fascinating because the telegraph says they have a government source saying channel 4 will remain a public service broadcaster. but if you have a foreign owner — they named maybe even amazon or netflix — how will that even work? it’s even amazon or netflix - how will that even work?— even amazon or netflix - how will that even work? it's really unclear. itv is that even work? it's really unclear.

11:50 pm
the perfect opportunity. jean—philippe matata's goal was significant because they hadn't lost the season after scoring first. on the 1st of april, mikael arteta was named manager of the month for march — but paris were fast making his side look like fools. less than ten minutes after going a goal down, arsenal's defence looked up again, and the home side went two—up. you couldn't tell from the finish that this was onlyjordan ayew�*s second goal of the season. it didn't matter what arsenal did, this wasn't going to be their night. they felt this should have been a penalty — it wasn't given. but when wilfried zaha went down, it was, and arsenal's hopes went with it. palace fans delirious — but so too will be tottenham's, as they stay ahead in the race for fourth place. nick parrot, bbc news. we saw sloppy goals.
11:51 pm
when you want to wreck in the second half, it's too late. we tried, we had 3—4 big chances to score, and the only half chance they had, they got a penalty. so it's time to accept the criticism, put your hand up and apologise that the performance wasn't good enough for this club, and now react. because when everything goes well, everybody wants to be there and to be supportive. so let's see who's there now. netherlands coach louis van gaal has revealed that he's been diagnosed with prostate cancer. the former manchester united boss says he still plans to lead his team at the world cup in qatar in seven months�* time. he's the head coach of the netherlands side. the 70—year—old told rtl television that he has already undergone 25 bouts of radiotherapy, including in the evening during training camps with the dutch team. his national team captain, liverpool's virgil van dijk, admitted it was a surprise. i was also in shock last night when i heard his interview. because obviously, he's
11:52 pm
getting his film out next week. so i was just wondering how he would promote it a little bit and speak about his life. and then, obviously that was a big shock, as well. we will definitely be there for him as a group whenever he needs it. van djik speaking ahead of the return of the champions league. his team, liverpool, go to benfica, while manchester city, who are on the hunt for their first european cup title, host atletico madrid in the first leg. manager pep guardiola has been criticised in the past for overthinking his tactics in big games — and he joked that he'll do it again tomorrow. i overthink a lot. and is that fair? absolutely. that's why i had very good results in the champions league. it would be boring, myjob, if we had to do it all the same way.
11:53 pm
so tonight, i've taken inspiration and i'll do incredible tactics tomorrow, so... we play with 12 tomorrow. tiger woods' potential return to golf could be the stuff of sporting legend. woods says he'll make a "game—time decision" on whether he's fit enough to compete at the masters. he's at augusta to continue what he called his preparation and practice, but he hasn't played competitively since suffering serious leg injuries in a car crash 14 months ago. woods has won the masters five times and he is named as one of 91 participants this week, but he has yet to decide whether he'll take to the tee on thursday. and how about this for a fitting ending? legendary new zealand batter ross taylor rounded off his international career in style, taking the final catch. as the black caps won their third one—day international against the netherlands by 115 runs in hamilton. taylor ends his 16—year international career with new zealand as the country's record run scorer in tests and odis. tennis now — and poland's iga swiatek has been confirmed as the new world number one
11:54 pm
in the women's tennis rankings, replacing ash barty, who retired last month. swiatek celebrated her new status in style at the weekend, winning the miami open with victory over naomi osaka. that was her third title in a row and extended her winning streak to 17 matches. after the event, she was able to reflect on the past couple of weeks, and her reaction when she heard that barty had decided to quit. i was crying for 40 minutes, basically. both because of, you know, her retirement, and that i didn't really know it would happen, and it really surprised me because i always had this vision that we'd all play until we were 35, or something. after two hours of being really emotional, i realised that you don't know what will happen yet, and you still have to win some matches. so let's wait with the emotions and being excited, because you have work to do. that's what i thought, and i think it really helped me to stay focused on the tournament. that's all the sport for now.
11:55 pm
from me, marc edwards, and the rest of the team, bye—bye. hello, there. it was a mild start to the week, but it will get colder again later on. i6 celsius, though, on monday in hampshire — and for much of the country, temperatures are still in double figures early on tuesday morning. but it is colder in northern scotland — that's where the colder air is. much of the uk in this block of milder air. and between those two different masses, we have this weather front, and that's where we've got focus of the wettest weather. still could be some rain to clear away from england and wales first thing. it may brighten up for a while in northern ireland, most of the weather action is again in scotland — this is where it's going to be wettest, for many, it's rain, but the wetter weather is moving into the colder air, so there could be some sleet and snow in highland and grampian. temperatures only three celsius in aberdeen, but 11 celsius in the central belt of scotland.
11:56 pm
could be some more rain coming back into northern ireland later in the day, but some brighter skies, a bit more sunshine on offer for england and wales, and temperatures are back up to 15 celsius. this area of low pressure is sliding these weather fronts across the uk — that one there will push away all that milder air, and it'll be followed by some sunshine, but also some bands of blustery showers on some stronger winds. we still have that wetter weather in the far north of scotland, and snow is more likely in the northern highlands — that's where we've got the coldest of the year — and temperatures won't be quite as high across the uk on wednesday. but that cold air that we've got in northern scotland is going to come south on thursday, with a northerly wind accompanying that, really dropping the temperatures. now there's still some rain threatening to run through the english channel — again, it's taking a more southerly track, so it's moving away. essentially, we'll have some sunshine and wintry showers, the bulk of those in northern ireland, northern england, and particularly into scotland. and temperatures will be around nine
11:57 pm
celsius in the afternoon. now there's still a lot of uncertainty about this rain coming in from the atlantic running through the english channel on friday. could be into southern parts of england and wales. into the cold air, there may be some sleet and snow over the hills for a while before that pulls away. but for the most part, it's that northerly, chilly air that we maintain with some sunshine, and again, some more wintry showers. temperatures only around eight celsius, and we'll find some frost returning at night.
