his mercedes team mate lewis hamilton finished fourth. what a car today. i mean, of course i did a good job all weekend but it was not possible without the car and this weekend, especially in the race pace, we were extremely strong, the tyres felt great from the first of the last lap, we were managing the tyres very well. we are never going to give up, we are going— we are never going to give up, we are going to— we are never going to give up, we are going to keep on fighting, we have _ are going to keep on fighting, we have to _ are going to keep on fighting, we have to keep up while we are on the back foot _ have to keep up while we are on the back foot and i am sure we will get there _ back foot and i am sure we will get there after— back foot and i am sure we will get there after a few more races. one of the most eagerly awaited premier league games of the season takes place later. leaders manchester city take on second placed liverpool. it could prove a pivotal fixture. a win for either would see them end the day to of the table. joe lynskey looks ahead. the two best teams in england, perhaps the two best
9:33 am
teams in the world. the premier league's modern rivalry is one built on quality, and they're both relentless. this time, city hosts liverpool with eight games to go and one point between them. one of them's won the league the last four seasons. and they've pushed each other on. sometimes 97 points hasn't been enough to win it. and for both these great managers, this has been the toughest match. the last five years had been the biggest opening. it's been an incredible and marvellous, you know, contender. jurgen have been as a manager, the bigger rival i ever had in my career. yeah, will be an incredible test. we will push each other to an incredible point tallies, madness. i would have never thought that these kind of things are possible and especially not in this league. so the consistency both teams showed in that period is absolutely crazy. this season, it's got close late on. injanuary, city led by 14 points. commentator: and it is 12 i
9:34 am
premier league wins in a row for manchester city. but then had slip ups — liverpooljust kept winning to now close the gap and with one more win, today they'd go out in front. we were 14 points behind city and now we've clawed that gap back to one point and i think we should all be really proud of how far they've come this season, winning and getting three points at the etihad. don't think it would get much better than that. liverpool have just kept on winning, and that's why that gap is shortened tojust one point because they've been so relentless. and it just shows that the standards of these two teams and how they're they're really pushing each other towards greatness. i think they are the two best teams in the world without doubt, and it's going to be fascinating to see how it plays out. they've been so dominant, but so close. in four years of football and 144 games, there's one point between them. this year, one will lift the trophy with the fans back in to see it. this it means so much to both of them in football's great modern rivalry. joe lynskey, bbc news.

incredible to see that. it is a 4:30 - m incredible to see that. it is a 4:30pm kick-off. _ it's all set up for a thrilling final day at the masters. america's scottie sheffler continues to lead the way — heading into the final round with a three—shot lead. the world number one looked in complete control in the early stages of round three — before a late wobble has given hope to the chasing pack. michael redford reports. moving day at augusta always brings change, except this time it wasn't solely about the leader board. from a rising sun to chilly conditions, not that scottie scheffler was showing any signs of cold feet. the world number one has been in a hot streak of form of late, and it showed no sign of stopping here. an impressive front nine meant his overnight lead of five shots soon became six. this was all feeling a bit too easy. augusta, though, is never easy.
9:36 am
the winds of change suddenly blowing. four bogeys now followed, with scheffler suddenly feeling the heat. all sorts of trouble. that's deep in the woods. his lead cut to three. cameron smith, his closest rival, the australian, had the round of the day at four under par. and he's not the only contender. sungjae im led after round one before dropping off the pace. three birdies in five holes means he's close to catching up again. and behind him sits ireland's shane lowry and 2011 champion charl schwartzel. here we go. go on, then, keep going. yes, sir! the south african will need a few more shots like that, though, to get back into contention. tiger woods needs more than a few good shots to complete his fairytale return to action. he finished the day on six over par, his worst ever round at the masters, and so instead it'll be this
9:37 am
american hoping to steal the headlines on the final day. a first major title is within touching distance. now, can scottie scheffler keep his cool? michael redford, bbc news. no fairy tale in the end for tiger woods but there was at aintree! amateur rider sam waley cohen says his grand national win feels like a dream that will take weeks to sink in — after he won the grand national at aintree on 50 to i outsider noble yeats in his final ride. waley—cohen, who was later punished for overuse of the whip, held off the challenge of favourite any second now, with delta work third and santini fourth. it's a dream, it is an overstated word but i couldn't, i couldn't have imagined it and just incredibly grateful and thankful to have had a great career and a great ride. and

enjoyed so much good spirit today. that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, here's joanna gosling with the papers. hello and welcome to our look at what the papers are saying today. with me are james rampton, features writer at the independent and the financial times' political and diplomatic correspondent, laura hughes. good morning to you both. with you in a moment but first a look at the front pages. the sunday telegraph has a picture from borisjohnson�*s trip to kyiv, where he met volodymyr zelensky. the paper says nato is drawing up plans to deploy a full time military presence on ukraine's border. similar image on the observer, which focuses on the military aid pledged to ukraine by the prime minister. the sunday express also covers the meeting in kyiv. it says the talks were described
9:39 am
the ukrainian president as being �*more than fruitful�*. another of those pictures in the times. but the paper leads with reports that rishi sunak has moved his family out of downing street, and also claims he considered resigning this week after the spotlight fell on his wife's tax arrangements. a similar mix from the independent, which reports on labour calls for more transparency from the chancellor over his family's tax affairs. and the sunday people has spoken to a victim ofjeffrey epstein, who is calling on prince andrew to prove that he will help victims of sexual abuse. so let's go through the front pages and some of what is inside. the sunday times newspaper, the news that rishi sunak �*s wife and children have moved out of downing street, the removal vans arriving yesterday in what was apparently
9:40 am
planned before the row over at non—domicile status broke. but nonetheless, laura, really dramatic news story to wake up to? yes nonetheless, laura, really dramatic news story to wake up to?— nonetheless, laura, really dramatic news story to wake up to? yes and i think it is reflective _ news story to wake up to? yes and i think it is reflective of _ news story to wake up to? yes and i think it is reflective of the _ think it is reflective of the position that rishi sunak finds himself in. the personal did become political and the political personal and he is uncomfortable with that reality. i think we are so used to the personal life of borisjohnson being dragged into politics and there was huge discomfort in the rishi sunak camp about the allegations are parties during lockdown in his own house that i think this has been a really difficult week for the chancellor. and that story is reflective of the fact he himself has been even considering quitting and leaving politics. because he is so disturbed by how his family have been dragged into this and the impact it will have on all of them. and they have decided to move out of the home and he will be there working, like
9:41 am
they're in the evenings but will return to his family when he can. i think shows him trying to create that separation between his work and personal life, i cannot remember a time that would ever have happened, you would see the family of the chancellor moving out of number ten downing street. i think it is quite next ordinary moment. definitely unprecedented. _ next ordinary moment. definitely unprecedented. the _ next ordinary moment. definitely unprecedented. the mail- next ordinary moment. definitely unprecedented. the mail on - next ordinary moment. definitely - unprecedented. the mail on sunday, james, has similar. rishi sunak on the brink, it says. underlining the fact the pressure is not easing up, the paper saying he is now battling to save his political career following the revelations about an astonishing claim that he broke us immigration rules with that green card that he had. political opponents calling on the white has now to investigate why the chancellor possessed a us green card until last october. yes. chancellor possessed a us green card until last october.— until last october. yes, i mean the

9:44 am
he might have had of being prime minister? i he might have had of being prime minister? ~ he might have had of being prime minister? ,, . ., , minister? i think the context is really important _ minister? i think the context is really important and _ minister? i think the context is really important and the - minister? i think the context is| really important and the reason minister? i think the context is - really important and the reason why the story has cut through in the way that it has is that you have these tax arrangements which are perfectly legal and the wife of rishi sunak is quite entitled to have the financial arrangement that she has had for all of these years but it has happened and the story has come out at the time the chancellor is putting taxes up time the chancellor is putting taxes up to the highest levels we have seen since the 1950s, there is a cost of living crisis, people are feeling it in their pockets and i think there is a sense of one rule for them and one rule for us about the story and that is why it has been so damaging and people might not forget that because it is his wife and he takes benefit from that inadvertently in his own way. we also had a revelation this week that rishi sunak held a us green card
9:45 am
which again, raises questions and i think some people around him then perhaps they were a little bit naive that they could keep these sorts of things private because they are of interest to the public given his position and given what is happening and what doing as chancellor and given the fact there are lots of calls for the government to make more interventions to help people with the cost of living crisis that is being felt so deeply at the moment. ~ is being felt so deeply at the moment-— is being felt so deeply at the moment. ~ ., ,, ., ., ,., moment. we will talk more about that, there _ moment. we will talk more about that. there is _ moment. we will talk more about that, there is an _ moment. we will talk more about that, there is an article _ moment. we will talk more about that, there is an article written i moment. we will talk more about that, there is an article written by martin lewis inside the papers and we will come to that shortly but first, the pictures that you referred to as borisjohnson looking statesman—like, james. the picture on the front of a lot of papers, they're on the front of the sunday telegraph, the prime minister in kyiv with volodymyr zelensky in a visit that was understandably kept absolutely secret until the picture simmers for security reasons. the paper says only have a dozen downing
9:46 am
street staff are understood to have known about the visit before the pictures were treated by the ukrainian embassy of him being there. your thoughts? and the news on the paper of what nato is planning to defend the borders? first of all, i would like to say i spent _ first of all, i would like to say i spent years, probably your viewers will spent years, probably your viewers witt think— spent years, probably your viewers will think centuries bashing boris and it— will think centuries bashing boris and it is— will think centuries bashing boris and it is somewhat cruel to say i think— and it is somewhat cruel to say i think he — and it is somewhat cruel to say i think he has done a very good job here, _ think he has done a very good job here, i_ think he has done a very good job here, i can — think he has done a very good job here, i can feel myself choking as i say those _ here, i can feel myself choking as i say those words but you have to be fair. say those words but you have to be fair he _ say those words but you have to be fair he has — say those words but you have to be fair. he has really stepped up during — fair. he has really stepped up during this crisis. he has proved as volodymyr— during this crisis. he has proved as volodymyr zelensky said himself, one of the _ volodymyr zelensky said himself, one of the most _ volodymyr zelensky said himself, one of the most principled leaders in the west— of the most principled leaders in the west providing a lot of military hardware. — the west providing a lot of military hardware, 120 more armoured vehicles, _ hardware, 120 more armoured vehicles, anti ship missiles provided _ vehicles, anti ship missiles provided to ukraine, and i take my hat off— provided to ukraine, and i take my hat off to— provided to ukraine, and i take my hat off to him but i think if you say everything is political and
9:47 am
everything is partly for domestic consumption, it is brilliant but his profile, _ consumption, it is brilliant but his profile, as — consumption, it is brilliant but his profile, as his chief rover mac rival— profile, as his chief rover mac rivat is — profile, as his chief rover mac rivat is on _ profile, as his chief rover mac rival is on the ropes, he is having his hands— rival is on the ropes, he is having his hands raised as the great international statesman, bravery to id international statesman, bravery to go there. _ international statesman, bravery to go there, many people even a week a-o go there, many people even a week ago said _ go there, many people even a week ago said my— go there, many people even a week ago said my gosh, that is far too risky— ago said my gosh, that is far too risky and — ago said my gosh, that is far too risky and it — ago said my gosh, that is far too risky and it still is a courageous thing _ risky and it still is a courageous thing to— risky and it still is a courageous thing to do. there was a lovely image — thing to do. there was a lovely image i— thing to do. there was a lovely image i saw on the news yesterday, president _ image i saw on the news yesterday, president zelensky and boris johnson during _ president zelensky and boris johnson during a _ president zelensky and boris johnson during a walkabout and they were stopped _ during a walkabout and they were stopped by a woman from kharkiv, a horrendously bombed city and she .ave horrendously bombed city and she gave them two cockroach shaped jugs and apparently that is the ukrainian symbol— and apparently that is the ukrainian symbol for— and apparently that is the ukrainian symbol for survival and it is those little _ symbol for survival and it is those little human touch is that mean a lot. little human touch is that mean a lot but _ little human touch is that mean a lot but in — little human touch is that mean a lot. but in pr terms, this will play very strongly for boris johnson in this country as well as worldwide. laura, _ this country as well as worldwide. laura, is — this country as well as worldwide. laura, is he — this country as well as worldwide. laura, is he showing himself to be an effective wartime prime minister?
9:48 am
i think this place to his strengths, this sort of bouncy voyeurism and he clearly gets on very well with president zelensky, i have been amazed over the last few weeks at how many phone calls we have had readouts of between them and i think there is a bit of a meeting of minds. and as james says, the uk has actually provided a lot of offensive military assistance, has been quite world leading on things like sanctioning swift payments and we have been behind on sanctioning individuals but overall i would have to say, to be fair, the uk has been playing a significant part in these kind of discussions on the movement to try to get the world to end its dependency on russian oil and gas. there has been some really strong language coming from downing street and interesting because we are not part of the eu any more, what role
9:49 am
does uk play? i think this has been a real moment for britain and how it sees itself going forward in terms of its military capabilities, in terms of the way we work with europe, i think there's been a complete reassessment of what our priorities should be. and boris johnson by virtue of being prime minister is the figurehead of that. i think the decision to go to ukraine was pretty brave and of course i think it will play out very well. and again, as james makes the point, you have these front pages where it rishi sunak, probably the number one leadership contender and we all said might succeed him at the beginning of this year over partygate, having a very bad weekend while borisjohnson appears to be doing very well and dealing with more statesman—like issues. the more statesman-like issues. the - a -ers more statesman—like issues. the papers continued to have so much coverage inside. the reality in ukraine. and now, looking at the
9:50 am
prospect of this next phase of the war as the fight goes to the donbas region and the observer newspaper on its inside pages says the battle for kyiv is over and the battle in the donbas will be very different. they have an interview with the mayor of melitopol and viewers may remember that he was kidnapped by russian soldiers and eventually swapped in a prisoner exchange. in the first days of the war. he has given an interview and he says we should not talk now about half measures, today all the red lines are crossed, thousands of peaceful citizens have been killed. you think we are going to agree to have measures? james, there is this sense that the diplomacy continues but the focus very much seems to be on beefing up ukraine's defences with the military hardware from britain and also nato talking about a new move towards a force along the border? tater?
9:51 am
force along the border? very interesting — force along the border? very interesting what _ force along the border? very interesting what jens - force along the border? very interesting what jens stoltenberg said in— interesting what jens stoltenberg said in his interview yesterday, that he — said in his interview yesterday, that he was going to beef up the trorders— that he was going to beef up the borders along the countries that 'oin borders along the countries that join russia and that is particularly interesting because vladimir putin has threatened those countries and said if— has threatened those countries and said if you — has threatened those countries and said if you appear to be more aggressive towards us then we will fi-ht aggressive towards us then we will fight back— aggressive towards us then we will fight back so it is a bold statement. but i think it is right he is _ statement. but i think it is right he is making that statement. vladimir— he is making that statement. vladimir putin is a complete mania, i vladimir putin is a complete mania, i mean. _ vladimir putin is a complete mania, i mean. he — vladimir putin is a complete mania, i mean. he is — vladimir putin is a complete mania, i mean, he is doing monstrous things that we _ i mean, he is doing monstrous things that we have — i mean, he is doing monstrous things that we have not seen since the second — that we have not seen since the second world war and you have to stand _ second world war and you have to stand up _ second world war and you have to stand up to — second world war and you have to stand up to that kind of bullying and i_ stand up to that kind of bullying and i would say the coverage has been _ and i would say the coverage has been brilliant. i completely admire anyjournalist who will go to a war zone: _ anyjournalist who will go to a war zone. i_ anyjournalist who will go to a war zone. i have — anyjournalist who will go to a war zone, i have barely been further than _ zone, i have barely been further than my— zone, i have barely been further than my sofa in 30 years and i absolutely respect those people and they are _ absolutely respect those people and they are doing a brilliantjob. as you say, — they are doing a brilliantjob. as you say, it — they are doing a brilliantjob. as you say, it is an overused word to
9:52 am
say it— you say, it is an overused word to say it is— you say, it is an overused word to say it is moving to hear from these people _ say it is moving to hear from these people but— say it is moving to hear from these people but it is, astonishing what is said _ people but it is, astonishing what is said about vladimir putin, he says— is said about vladimir putin, he says compromise, never? only when he is fully— says compromise, never? only when he is fully defeated and this is a man whose _ is fully defeated and this is a man whose city— is fully defeated and this is a man whose city has been obliterated, himself— whose city has been obliterated, himself was kidnapped in a very egregious manner, filmed and shown to the _ egregious manner, filmed and shown to the world and he is utterly defiant _ to the world and he is utterly defiant. and what can you do except say i absolutely respect that man and the _ say i absolutely respect that man and the defiance that he represents in his— and the defiance that he represents in his own _ and the defiance that he represents in his own country.— in his own country. echoing exactly what ou in his own country. echoing exactly what you say _ in his own country. echoing exactly what you say about _ in his own country. echoing exactly what you say about paying - in his own country. echoing exactly what you say about paying tribute l what you say about paying tribute to everybody covering this story. incredibly brave thing to be doing. right, moving on to politics in france. there is the vote today and dramatic news from there as well with marine le pen within a whisker of president emmanuel macron. laura, your thoughts? what does this say?
9:53 am
the headline, marine le pen aims to prove mightier than the status quo. the background that is he was an outsider, political insider but in terms of external profile, he was an outsider only five years ago. in this piece has lots of interviews with ordinary french citizens who are deliberating over what is happening and what has happened over the last few years in the picture is very similar to the picture in the uk. what people and builders are talking about, the cost of their food bills and the cost of petrol and the cost of their energy bills. that is what is forcing people to reconsider their political allegiances. today is really interesting, we will see 12 potential presidential candidates narrowed down to two and it looks that might be marine le pen who perhaps represents more of the far right of the country and emmanuel
9:54 am
macron and people are discussing the possibility that he could go. which is actually incredibly significant during a time of war. for we are seeing as was mentioned, boris johnson taking a leading role, emmanuel macron has been seen as trying to make peace or negotiate with vladimir putin and it is interesting the french public even at a time of war, are considering turning away from a wartime leader. that shows how deeply the cost of living is being felt in people's pockets every day. and the general sense of unease and distrust of the government, real, genuine frustration which i think this article gets across. the journalist speaking to ordinary voters. it will be really interesting to see what happens and i think it will serve as a warning shot to other leaders around the world who are grappling with covid fallout, grappling with the cost of energy going up. this
9:55 am
will hit a lot of very significant, well—known political leaders over the next few months and years. james, an interview in the sunday telegraph with the consumer champion martin lewis and he says he does not think we are very far from civil unrest. he says he is really scared for people. he said in normal times he could save almost anyone hundreds of pounds a year by ditching unwanted gym memberships, switching to cheaper credit cards or snapping up to cheaper credit cards or snapping up a bargain sim card but these days are different, he says, the worst since i started.— since i started. and it is absolutely _ since i started. and it is absolutely impossible i since i started. and it is| absolutely impossible to underestimate the suffering that many _ underestimate the suffering that many people in this country are undergoing. i read a heartbreaking story— undergoing. i read a heartbreaking story this — undergoing. i read a heartbreaking story this week about a family that could _ story this week about a family that could not— story this week about a family that could not afford a cooker so heeding a tin of— could not afford a cooker so heeding a tin of baked beans with a candle and i_ a tin of baked beans with a candle and i thought, that is medieval and it's kind _ and i thought, that is medieval and it's kind of— and i thought, that is medieval and it's kind of be sickness. and again, a place _ it's kind of be sickness. and again, a place to— it's kind of be sickness. and again, a place to what i say is a tone deaf
