one of the d—day heroes — harry billinge — who's died at the age of 96. football, manchester city and liverpool have both been playing tonight in their first leg ties of the champions�* league quarter—finals. our correspondent andy swiss tells us what happened. this year, perhaps? for all their recent success, manchester city have never won the champions league, and atletico madrid were out to frustrate them again. for the first half, their defence smothered city's attack, leaving pep with a puzzle. could his team crack the code? well, with time running out, phil foden found kevin de bruyne and at last... leaves it for de bruyne! from stalemate to celebration, how city were made to work for it, but that was enough for a 1—0 win and a crucial lead heading into the second leg. liverpool, meanwhile,

were in lisbon to face benfica, and they get off to a thumping start. kanate! ibrahima kanate made the most of some charitable defending to power the visitors ahead, and it soon got even better for them as liverpool's class was once again clear. sadio mane tapping them into 2—0 lead at the break. but after it, benfica hit back. kanate�*s mistake, and darwin nunez gave the hosts new hope. but it was the visitors that had the last word, as luis diaz kept his cool to round off a 3—1 win for liverpool. a place in the semifinals very much in their sights. andy swiss, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are martin bentham, who's the home affairs editor at the evening standard, and the broadcaster penny smith. you are both so welcome. 0k, let us begin. probably no surprise here. i want to begin with the guardian. lotterer zele ns ky lotterer zelensky saying russian leaders must face a war crimes trial. it was such a dramatic day today. —— volodymyr zelensky. penny, what struck you? any time president zelensky speaks, i am sure they are so many people who must salute him. there he is,

continuing to speak out, despite the fact he has been hunted by russians. i know we heard earlier on from clive myrie, who said that things are easing up a little bit in kyiv, but who knows whether the russians are actually regrouping at the moment? and you see what he says, and i think the point is that we can all recognise what he is saying. he is saying we are under attack from all sides and what help are we actually being given? is all well and good saying, this is a terrible thing and we are doing most but they don't feel they're getting enough help. —— doing more sanctions. it is hard to not agree with him. the headline on the guardian, saying russian leaders must face were crimes trial. i was just looking back at what happened after the bosnian war, and the bosnian military leader ratko mladic, who is

believed to have masterminded the mass murder at trevor —— trevor ——... he was found guilty in 2017. the point i'm trying to make is the wheels turned slowly. yes. the point i'm trying to make is the wheels turned slowly.— wheels turned slowly. yes. i think this is so true. _ wheels turned slowly. yes. i think this is so true. and _ wheels turned slowly. yes. i think this is so true. and they _ wheels turned slowly. yes. i think this is so true. and they are - this is so true. and they are talking but documenting allegations of war crimes and what that might actually be on the ground, but anything, to bring anybody to justice — we could be talking about ten to 12 years from now. martin, let struck you about today? and i should tell our viewers, in case they did not see it, there was an incredibly distressing graphic video that was played to the un also today by mr zelensky, to try and, i suppose, urge them, initiate them into further action. i

suppose, urge them, initiate them into further action.— into further action. i suppose this is it, isn't — into further action. i suppose this is it, isn't it? _ into further action. i suppose this is it, isn't it? this _ into further action. i suppose this is it, isn't it? this address - into further action. i suppose this is it, isn't it? this address todayl is it, isn't it? this address today follows— is it, isn't it? this address today follows the _ is it, isn't it? this address today follows the footage we've seen from bucha _ follows the footage we've seen from bucha and _ follows the footage we've seen from bucha and evidence elsewhere, the footage _ bucha and evidence elsewhere, the footage of— bucha and evidence elsewhere, the footage of the car turning around and the _ footage of the car turning around and the person getting out with his hands _ and the person getting out with his hands above his head and getting shot dead and so on, reporting tonight— shot dead and so on, reporting tonight hy— shot dead and so on, reporting tonight by your correspondent jeremy boweh_ tonight by your correspondent jeremy bowen from another town near kyiv with further atrocities seemingly happening there, with the blatant shelling _ happening there, with the blatant shelling of pertinent blocks, which of course — shelling of pertinent blocks, which of course we have seen quite a lot of course we have seen quite a lot of over— of course we have seen quite a lot of over the course of this war, really— of over the course of this war, really seems to be an instrument in shelling of— really seems to be an instrument in shelling of civilian buildings in a recklessly dangerous way about obviously seeking to endanger life there _ obviously seeking to endanger life there in— obviously seeking to endanger life there in claim lives, so this is just— there in claim lives, so this is just the — there in claim lives, so this is just the latest, most horrendous illustration of its committee bucha case: _ illustration of its committee bucha case, and — illustration of its committee bucha case, and some of the others that have _ case, and some of the others that have iteen— case, and some of the others that have been documented about, the raping _ have been documented about, the raping of— have been documented about, the raping of women and children, and all sorts—

dissolve yourself. —— stop putin 0r dissolve yourself. they... really, and let me turn to you, penny, russia is a permanent member of the un security council, they have the potential to veto any resolution, which they will do in their own self interest, so something like looking to the un, i'm naturally if it is the right way for mr zelensky to turn. what do you think? == i the right way for mr zelensky to turn. what do you think? -- i am not sure. it turn. what do you think? -- i am not sure- it is — turn. what do you think? -- i am not sure- it is a — turn. what do you think? -- i am not sure. it is a sign _ turn. what do you think? -- i am not sure. it is a sign of _ turn. what do you think? -- i am not sure. it is a sign of his _ turn. what do you think? -- i am not sure. it is a sign of his growing - sure. it is a sign of his growing frustration with help from the west. we have seen how appalling this is, we can see absolutely what is going on. i am sure, like many people, there are moments when you do turn away from what is going on, because you just think, how can this be going on right here right now the

wind also we know that these... the russians know that these things are being reported in the west and yet they sit in the un, they sit there and they say, no, we went in there to wipe out the nazis, this is not happening, denying these things are going on. as i said, there is a growing frustration, but at the moment, it is what it is, and you just go, russia is and has been one of the five permanent remember the security council. —— members of. it obviously blocked a resolution calling for the immediate end of the invasion of ukraine, and if we are not going to get involved, that we have to carry on with the sanctions of and saying brussels is working on a ban on russian oil, but these things also hurt the west. indeed. i

am 'ust things also hurt the west. indeed. i am just wondering, _ things also hurt the west. indeed. i am just wondering, with _ things also hurt the west. indeed. i am just wondering, with that, - am just wondering, with that, martin, as we think about it, do you see any hope for peace talks continuing, off ramp, that language we are all grown accustomed to? even if it is not face—to—face, that something could be salvaged? it is hard to know. _ something could be salvaged? it is hard to know, isn't it? and the longer— hard to know, isn't it? and the longer it— hard to know, isn't it? and the longer it goes on, the worse the treatment— longer it goes on, the worse the treatment given out by the russians in this— treatment given out by the russians in this context goes on, the harder it is going — in this context goes on, the harder it is going to— in this context goes on, the harder it is going to be for the ukrainians to accept— it is going to be for the ukrainians to accept any compromise, i suppose, and the _ to accept any compromise, i suppose, and the longer they are going to want _ and the longer they are going to want to fight on. and we have seen is the _ want to fight on. and we have seen is the russians having to pull back from _ is the russians having to pull back from kyiv— is the russians having to pull back from kyiv and focus their efforts on the east. _ from kyiv and focus their efforts on the east, which is where the separatist struggle has been going on anyway since 2014, so he sent the uiuainians— on anyway since 2014, so he sent the ukrainians are having some success in staving _ ukrainians are having some success in staving off this russian invasion, which many people perhaps, and certainly— invasion, which many people perhaps, and certainly the russians themselves, probably thought would all be over very, very quickly. and it certainly— all be over very, very quickly. and it certainly is _

whether you thought the same thing, but i just thought, whether you thought the same thing, but ijust thought, we are struggling with a huge amount of borrowing, we have ballooning payments and every thing else, and this is not what the tories, i would suggest, would have wanted. they like cutting taxes for people. that is what they like doing, isn't it? martin? ~ ., ,, is what they like doing, isn't it? martin? ~ ., ., , , martin? what you are seeing in this articular martin? what you are seeing in this particular story _ martin? what you are seeing in this particular story is _ martin? what you are seeing in this particular story is the _ martin? what you are seeing in this particular story is the play - martin? what you are seeing in this particular story is the play between | particular story is the play between the politics of it, which is that some — the politics of it, which is that some people in the tory back benches particularly _ some people in the tory back benches particularly would like to see more action from — particularly would like to see more action from the government to address— action from the government to address the cost—of—living crisis, because — address the cost—of—living crisis, because politically it is harmful to them, _ because politically it is harmful to them, and — because politically it is harmful to them, and the chancellor who has got these _ them, and the chancellor who has got these big _ them, and the chancellor who has got these big costs he has got to find money— these big costs he has got to find money for— these big costs he has got to find money for the fund but after the pandemic— money for the fund but after the pandemic in particular, not to spill money —— not willing to spend — to spill money —— not willing to spend money. it is extending money to the _ spend money. it is extending money to the poorest households... a good
