this is bbc news, the headlines... the united nations general assembly has voted to suspend russia from the un human rights council. it's over violations of human rights and atrocities in the ukrainian city of bucha. pakistan's supreme court says the suspension of parliament — in a bid to block a vote against prime minister irman khan — was unlawful. it also ordered that the lower house to be restored. the us senate has confirmed ketanji brown jackson as the first black woman to become a supreme courtjudge. the senate majority leader, chuck schumer, said it was a great moment for america. and at least two people are dead and six have been wounded after a gunman opened fire

in central tel aviv. the attack follows three others in israel in just over two weeks. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are henry zeffman, who's assistant political editor at the times, and the broadcaster, daisy mcandrew. great to see you both again. let's have a quick look at the front pages. the guardian has the chancellor's wife could've avoided up chancellor's wife could've avoided up to £20 million in tax by having non—domiciled status, with her spokesman saying all necessary taxes been paid. that leads into the times

which suggests mr sunak believes the story could be part of a political hitjob story could be part of a political hit job after story could be part of a political hitjob after details of his wife's tax status was leak. the daily mail is reporting that the health secretary has urged the nhs to protect women only hospital wards after equalities guidance confirming that trans people can legally be excluded from opposite sex spaces. the metro leads with the war in ukraine and russia's removalfrom the un human rights council over the invasion. the ft is retorting that more than half of all new cars sold in the uk must be fully electric by 2028 as part of a plan to phase out the sale of traditional petrol and diesel vehicles by the end of the decade. and the daily express as the uk could be facing at least three years of high energy bills, despite the government cosmic energy plans being unveiled earlier this week. daisy, most of the front pages

leading on sunak, the story clearly gripping everyone beyond westminster partly because of the timing and the cost—of—living crisis, everyone facing higher tax bills. they are saying this is back to —— breathtaking hypocrisy. it’s to -- breathtaking hypocrisy. it's uuite to —— breathtaking hypocrisy. it�*s quite right we are starting with the independent because it was a big scoop that they had yesterday. talking, as you said, about rishi sunak�*s wife, who is hugely wealthy, she's the daughter of a billionaire, she's the daughter of a billionaire, she has 1% of her father's company which gets her into evidence somewhere between £11 — 12 billion a year. she's domiciled in india, not the uk, and as a result of that, she

does not pay taxes here. which clearly leads to some embarrassing checks a position of living in number 11 downing st, your husband is in charge of all taxes and treasury coffers in this country and you aren't paying any of it would be between 30—a0% of that £11.5 million a year you get an income from a company... a year you get an income from a company- - -_ a year you get an income from a coman ...~ a ~ ., company... we don't know whether she's paying _ company... we don't know whether she's paying indian _ company... we don't know whether she's paying indian taxes _ company... we don't know whether she's paying indian taxes either, i she's paying indian taxes either, because she could be registered as a tax haven in the cayman islands, the labour party says there now needs to be transparency. find labour party says there now needs to be transnarency-_ be transparency. and of course rishi sunak, we will cover _ be transparency. and of course rishi sunak, we will cover that _ be transparency. and of course rishi sunak, we will cover that in - be transparency. and of course rishi sunak, we will cover that in a - sunak, we will cover that in a moment, lots of different newspapers covering _ moment, lots of different newspapers covering his fight back.— covering his fight back. saying she's not a — covering his fight back. saying she's not a politician, - covering his fight back. saying she's not a politician, she's i covering his fight back. saying | she's not a politician, she's not fair game, is what in effect he's saying. and i think a lot of people think, "fair game would be

criticising herfor her think, "fair game would be criticising her for her appearance or what she does in her private life." but actually the chancellor's tax affairs, even if they are his partner's tax affairs, are probably pretty important particularly when you talk about multi—million pound tax affairs. so i think it is very uncomfortable. and for those of us — forgive me, i think you and i are of a similar age forgive me, i think you and i are of a similarage — forgive me, i think you and i are of a similar age — but for those of us who remember vividly the brown— blairyears, i don't who remember vividly the brown— blair years, i don't know if you're getting that sense of, oh goodness, we now have that again, 11 and 10 downing street briefing against each other and how tiresome that was. fine other and how tiresome that was. one ofthe other and how tiresome that was. one of the papers — other and how tiresome that was. one of the papers is _ other and how tiresome that was. one of the papers is leading with the fact that they are being briefed by number ten. fact that they are being briefed by numberten. henry, let me fact that they are being briefed by number ten. henry, let me look first at the guardian because they've got some numbers on this, haven't they? saying she would've owed about 38%

on the payout, which works out to £411 on the payout, which works out to £41; million. it's a question of how many years she's not paid tax. and part of the point of being a non—domiciled is you intend to go back, you are a temporary resident of this country, which raises the question, is the chancellor making these massive decisions about the future of this country and the current living conditions of this country and not intending to stay here? that is not politically sustainable, is it? i here? that is not politically sustainable, is it?- here? that is not politically sustainable, is it? i think it's politically — sustainable, is it? i think it's politically tricky, _ sustainable, is it? i think it's politically tricky, it _ sustainable, is it? i think it's politically tricky, it dependsl sustainable, is it? ithink it's. politically tricky, it depends on the timeframe. there's some commitment to stay in the uk in the medium _ commitment to stay in the uk in the medium term from rishi sunak, as he's a _ medium term from rishi sunak, as he's a member of parliament, he clearly— he's a member of parliament, he clearly fancies being prime minister, at least he did before this episode whether the scrutiny has made — this episode whether the scrutiny has made him think harder about it. but on _ has made him think harder about it. but on this— has made him think harder about it. but on this front page, they've done some _ but on this front page, they've done some calculations based on public information for the last seven

potential criminal defence, according to his allies? and they haven't gone to the police, given he says he's declared such as blue the criminal defence thing is about leaking the private tax information of a prime minister... that's separate to declarations or whatever. the declarations rishi sunak says he's made to the cabinet office in his role as a minister, those are all private declarations. what rishi sunak has done is that when he administered for the first time in 2018, he told various officials in government that his wife was a non—dom. the thing i find bewildering about that on a political management level is that either he didn't realise it political management level is that either he didn't realise— either he didn't realise it would become a _ either he didn't realise it would become a political _ either he didn't realise it would become a political story - either he didn't realise it would become a political story if- either he didn't realise it would become a political story if it. either he didn't realise it would | become a political story if it ever came out, — become a political story if it ever came out, especially once he moved to the _ came out, especially once he moved to the treasury, or he did realise that and — to the treasury, or he did realise that and yet decided for whatever reason _ that and yet decided for whatever

right note with his reaction to this. yes, of course, she is a private citizen, and he started to say this yesterday, targeting was the word he kept using, "targeting my wife isn't fair," but i do think there is a difference between somebody saying your being mean to my wife, you keep writing these critical articles about her appearance or what they might be — we remember ken clark's wife forever being criticised for being empty, thatis being criticised for being empty, that is completely different to a multimillionaire who is worth more than £700 million, who is living at number 11 downing st, married to the chancellor, in charge of the tax affairs of the country at a time of a massive crisis in the cost of

living, who seems to have managed to avoid paying a lot of tax, albeit legally. i think there is a real difference there, and rishi sunak certainly seemed very angry, and i get that. but by coming out and saying... i5 get that. but by coming out and sa in: . .. , , ., , saying... is he being a bit thin-skinned _ saying... is he being a bit thin-skinned and naive? l saying... is he being a bit thin-skinned and naive? i saying... is he being a bit - thin-skinned and naive? i would completely _ thin-skinned and naive? i would completely agree. _ thin-skinned and naive? i would completely agree. and - thin-skinned and naive? i would completely agree. and one - thin-skinned and naive? i would completely agree. and one of. thin-skinned and naive? i would. completely agree. and one of the reasons for that is he's quite a new kid on the block, and he's enjoyed really great popularity in the polls in the last few years. so i wonder — he had a good covid, he was doing well... , , ., ., , he had a good covid, he was doing well- - -_ one i he had a good covid, he was doing well. . ._ one of| well... dishing out money. one of the problems _ well... dishing out money. one of the problems with _ well... dishing out money. one of the problems with opinion - well... dishing out money. one of the problems with opinion polls, | the problems with opinion polls, what they don't tell them i could tell you is how many people know who they are. you can be a liz truss and whoever and get quite a positive

politicians, does that make them more likely to stick to the job? you could imagine tonight a lot of people at home thinking, "why is he staying there? he's got all this money." in other people are thinking, "he's clearly staying there because he's got a sense of public duty because he doesn't need the money." fir public duty because he doesn't need the money-"— public duty because he doesn't need the money." or he wants the top “0b in olitics, the money." or he wants the top “0b in politics. power�* the money." or he wants the top “0b in politics, power isd the money." or he wants the top “0b in politics, power is very i the money." or he wants the topjob in politics, power is very seductive . in politics, power is very seductive as we all know. find in politics, power is very seductive as we all know.— in politics, power is very seductive as we all know. and if you are very rich, the as we all know. and if you are very rich. the only _ as we all know. and if you are very rich, the only thing _ as we all know. and if you are very rich, the only thing you're - as we all know. and if you are very rich, the only thing you're missing | rich, the only thing you're missing is that power. rich, the only thing you're missing is that power-— rich, the only thing you're missing is that power. absolutely, this will kee- is that power. absolutely, this will keep running _ is that power. absolutely, this will keep running i— is that power. absolutely, this will keep running i think. _ is that power. absolutely, this will keep running i think. we _ is that power. absolutely, this will keep running i think. we will- is that power. absolutely, this willj keep running i think. we will leave sunak and his misfortunes there for a moment, and just move on to the daily mail, which is leading on a different story, talking about his predecessor in number 11, sajid javid, now urging the nhs to protect women only hospital wards. this is obvious the very sensitive and

women compete in female cyclist races? should trans women be in wards? it's always been an area that most of us don't know a lot about and perhaps don't quite know — and our instinct was to say, we must be nice to everybody, and other democrat others say that means you're not nice to me. and politicians always seem to want to have a definitive answer to these things, which is where i think keir starmer got himself into trouble because he had a definitive answer and it didn't make a lot of people happy. i think the mood has shifted now, particularly on sport which is the thing we saw borisjohnson come out first on, saying he didn't think — we saw the cycling body rule against the trans cyclist. now this is an issue that people like emma nicholson have been talking about in the lords, saying that there was a woman in an all female ward who said that she'd been raped and the nhs

said that it couldn't possibly have happened because there were no men in her ward, happened because there were no men in herward, and it turned happened because there were no men in her ward, and it turned out a in herward, and it turned outa year in her ward, and it turned out a year later there had been a trans woman who it almost certainly looks like at raped her. and that was a very big controversial thing for baroness nicholson to say, and we know that when sajid javid said he wanted to conduct this review, it was condemned by many people as being trans phobic. so you can see a shift in government policy. i'm not sure if it's genuine or if it's because they think the public has shifted. an hour ago, we were talking about how we want our politicians to lead the conversation. in some ways on this issue, they are catching up with the conversation and realising which bits are beginning to be popular and which bits aren't. having said that, my goodness me, it's such a difficult issue. i've said things in the past and had a pile on, and i thought i was being nice. so i have some sympathy with everybody who comments on this story.—
