face trial for war crimes. borisjohnson is urging the russian people to reject president putin's war, calling the atrocities in ukraine "a stain on the honour of russia itself". a different story in the i. the newspaper says the government is facing a battle with some conservative backbenchers over the plan to privatise channel 4. and the financial times carries comments from a senior us central bank official, who said the federal reserve is to make rapid cuts to its balance sheet from next month. so, let us begin, taking a look, beginning with the guardian, right now. mentioning there that russian leaders must face war crimes. penny, what do you think about this request from esther zelensky, speaking to the un today? i from esther zelensky, speaking to the un today?— the un today? i think they will be many peeple _ the un today? i think they will be many peeple who _ the un today? i think they will be many people who say, _ the un today? i think they will be | many people who say, absolutely, this must happen, but what must happen now is the west needs to gather proper evidence. i was
11:33 pm
watching your programme, the context, earlier on, and there was a journalist saying there are people archiving this information, and that is what is needed. evidence is to be gathered now, because we know there will be denials, counter accusations, misinformation, disinformation, but eventually, as we know from the bosnian war, eventually things do happen. i mentioned earlier on, ratko mladic, this was the bosnian conflict, 92-95, this was the bosnian conflict, 92—95, and ratko mladic, the bosnian servant military leader on trial for war crimes at the hague, eventually, in 2012. widely believed to be behind the srebrenica massacre, was eventually found guilty in 2017 and sentenced to life in prison. it does happen, but it takes a long time,
11:34 pm
and as i come back to that point, evidence needs to be gathered right away. evidence needs to be gathered right awa . , , , away. yes. it is interesting, martin, isn't _ away. yes. it is interesting, martin, isn't it, _ away. yes. it is interesting, martin, isn't it, that- away. yes. it is interesting, martin, isn't it, that they i away. yes. it is interesting, | martin, isn't it, that they are pointing towards war crimes? and there has been so much shock and outrage over the images that have been seen. but it is something, as penny says, that can take more than a decade and would not change the day—to—day of what ukrainians are going through right now. that day-to-day of what ukrainians are going through right now.— day-to-day of what ukrainians are going through right now. that is the roblem, going through right now. that is the problem. of — going through right now. that is the problem, of course, _ going through right now. that is the problem, of course, isn't _ going through right now. that is the problem, of course, isn't it? - going through right now. that is the problem, of course, isn't it? it- going through right now. that is the problem, of course, isn't it? it is. problem, of course, isn't it? it is a pleasing — problem, of course, isn't it? it is a pleasing thought, the thought of latimer— a pleasing thought, the thought of latimer putin sitting in a prison cell for— latimer putin sitting in a prison cell for the _ latimer putin sitting in a prison cell for the rest of his life as a result— cell for the rest of his life as a result of what he has done. —— vladimir putin. the reality is, it is almost — vladimir putin. the reality is, it is almost impossible to conceive how that could _ is almost impossible to conceive how that could happen, in the perceivable future would need to be a change _ perceivable future would need to be a change of her gene notjust in russia — a change of her gene notjust in russia and _ a change of her gene notjust in russia and so on and all sorts of other— russia and so on and all sorts of other things —— change of regime. unfortunately, it is a long, long

11:36 pm
that is— optimistic scenario, perhaps, but that is the— optimistic scenario, perhaps, but that is the only long—term solution to save _ that is the only long—term solution to save the — that is the only long—term solution to save the poor ukrainian people of further— to save the poor ukrainian people of further suffering, orat to save the poor ukrainian people of further suffering, or at least minimise _ further suffering, or at least minimise the suffering they are going _ minimise the suffering they are going through. it minimise the suffering they are going through-— minimise the suffering they are going through. it really brings me to the next _ going through. it really brings me to the next image _ going through. it really brings me to the next image on _ going through. it really brings me to the next image on the - going through. it really brings me to the next image on the front - to the next image on the front of the daily mirror right now. it says, if i don't make it but this is who you are. there we see a picture of a little girl, a terrified ukrainian mum, who has put her daughter's he does on her back in case they are separated. i did see this, in case the daughter is left to fend for herself, in stark terms, i did see this shared quite a lot, and a place to so many different aspects, in the sense that this is an information war. any more these images of death and destruction, orfear, like this one, the further the ukrainian and russian people are apart, in a sense of being able to be a part of any solution or negotiation. penny, i

11:38 pm
saying that she saw one of the people killed —— just being interviewed a little bit earlier on. she was wearing the same trainers that she had. it is all those very small things, they are just such small things, they are just such small things, they are just such small things, this is the sort of thing that you hone in on when something so major, so massive, so appalling, so destructive is happening to your life, which up into that point has perhaps even been just incredibly normal and nothing extraordinary.- been just incredibly normal and nothing extraordinary. indeed, that ukrainian mp _ talking about how those pictures impacted her. looking at those little pictures, born november 2019, just a todd. but, martin, these are part of those information wars. we see mr zelensky speaking at the un, we see a
11:39 pm
rebuttal from the russian ambassador to the un, saying what he has said is false. i imagine it will be with these images. how important do you think this war of information is in this conflict? it think this war of information is in this conflict?— this conflict? it is important in one sense. — this conflict? it is important in one sense, although - this conflict? it is important in one sense, although i- this conflict? it is important in one sense, although i feel - this conflict? it is important in - one sense, although i feel reluctant to equated as an equal thing, in the sense _ to equated as an equal thing, in the sense that — to equated as an equal thing, in the sense that the ukrainians... the evidence — sense that the ukrainians... the evidence is— sense that the ukrainians... the evidence is coming out from the ukrainian — evidence is coming out from the ukrainian side, unless i am being guiiihte. — ukrainian side, unless i am being guiiihte. is— ukrainian side, unless i am being gullible, is genuinely documenting what is _ gullible, is genuinely documenting what is happening there is some real life horrors — what is happening there is some real life horrors. the russian propaganda that is— life horrors. the russian propaganda that is coming out is prickly complete and utter nonsense, isn't it, complete and utter nonsense, isn't it. and _ complete and utter nonsense, isn't it, and should not be the given the cretans the — it, and should not be the given the cretans the reported on —— the cretans — cretans the reported on —— the cretans to _ cretans the reported on —— the cretans to be reported on? it is nonsensical, and frankly this tastefully so... nonsensical, and frankly this tastefully so. . ._ nonsensical, and frankly this tastefully so... nonsensical, and frankly this

11:41 pm
missiles —— miles per hour, and they cannot be shot down by any defence systems that have been developed by the west. it is almost science—fiction. i was reading a quote from somebody from chatham house about saying they are a game changer, these type of missiles. they can evade, they can move around, by using fluidity of the air. they sound terrifying, and so far, it says, china and the us and russia had the most advanced capabilities, but uk, australia, france and germany are investigating, and you just think... i don't know about you, but i find it terrifying, just the thought of all this going on. right now and in the future. ~., , ., the future. martin, there is a concern the _ the future. martin, there is a concern the west _ the future. martin, there is a concern the west could - the future. martin, there is a concern the west could be i the future. martin, there is a i concern the west could be followed behind russia and china when it comes to this sort of weapon? {irina comes to this sort of weapon? china is obviously —

all the latest sport and weather. stay with us on bbc news. hello, i'm marc edwards with your sport. a good night for british sides in the champions league quarterfinal first legs on tuesday. manchester city will take a 1—0 advantage to spain after a kevin de bruyne goal helped them beat atletico madrid. liverpool, meanwhile, have one foot in the last four with a 3—1victory away to benfica. andy swiss rounds up all the action for us. 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 simply 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... slips it through for de bruyne! from stalemate to celebration.
11:52 pm
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 got off to a thumping start. konate! ibrahima konate 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 a 2—0 lead at the break. but after it, benfica hit back. konate'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—1win for liverpool, a place in the semifinals very much in their sights. andy swiss, bbc news. now, to the talk of the golfing world. tiger woods says he will play
11:53 pm
at the masters that starts on thursday — and not only that, he's aiming to win. woods is on the hunt for what would be his 16th major title. and it would mark an incredible return after the horrific car crash he suffered last year. joe lynskey has more. this was february 2021, just 11t months ago, when tiger woods lay in wreckage. 0ur headlines today: tiger woods undergoes surgery after a car crash in los angeles. tiger woods had to be cut from the wreckage by a fireman... the leg was basically crushed. so this is notjust a broken leg, this is a leg that - basically had to be rebuilt. i will say that it's very fortunate that mr woods was able to come out of this alive. just to walk again was a challenge. today, woods did so at augusta on a third straight day of practice for the masters. he's won it five times, so his place in the field was assured. now, for the first time, he says he wants to take it. well, as of right now, ifeel like i am going to play — as of right now. i've had to endure pain before.
11:54 pm
