this is bbc news, the headlines. presidentjoe biden has announced an additional $800 million of military help for ukraine. biden says, the aid, including heavy artillery weapons, ammunition and tactical drones, will be sent directly to what he called "the frontlines of freedom". the mayor of mariupol has given a defiant response to russia's claims to have taken control of the city. vadym boychenko said it remained ukrainian, irrespective of any statements made about it. earlier, president putin congratulated his defence minister on having successfully taken the city. president volodymyr zelensky, in a virtual address to a world bank forum, said ukraine needs $7 billion a month to make up for

losses caused by russia. he also called for russia's immediate exclusion from internationalfinancial institutions. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are torcuil crichton, the westminster editor at the daily record, and sian griffiths, who's education editor for the sunday times. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... borisjohnson once again on many of the front pages — the i says tory rebels forced a new investigation into whether the prime minister misled parliament over lockdown parties. "at last" is the daily mirror's headline —
11:32 pm
reporting that tory mps turned on borisjohnson in the commons today. but the daily mail says he has warned that investigations into lockdown law breaking in downing street cannot go "on and on and on". the guardian calls it a day of humiliation for the pm. elsewhere, the paper claims russian forces are burying civilians in mass graves after shelling the ukrainian city of mariupol. meanwhile, the times has a warning from western intelligence agencies that russia could still win the war in ukraine, with fighting now expected to last all year. the financial times leads with claims that the government wants to rip up the post—brexit trade deal for northern ireland, and highlights the potential response from the eu. and a poignant family photo on the front page of the sun, showing cristiano ronaldo, his partner and children, following the death of one of their new born twins earlier this week.

11:34 pm
kinds of changes and shifts today. there was going to be an amendment tabled to labours motion by the conservatives to delay the inquiry but it became clear that conservative backbenchers were not prepared to go along with that. that was dropped and in the end the latest motion went through that will now be in inquiry by the privileges committee into whether or not boris johnson misled the house of commons that's expected to conclude after the metropolitan police finishes its investigation and after sue gray's report. this is going to go on for months. and it's going to make boris johnson's life extremely difficult. today we saw a number of previous allies ofjohnson come out and say

11:54 pm
well, ten hag has a huge task on his hands. after tuesday's chastening 4—0 league defeat by liverpool, interim boss ralph rangnick said the club might need as many as 10 new players this summer. we've been speaking to united fan joe smith from the podcast the stretford paddock. what he has to do is go to the people that don't want to be here and the people that are out of contract and try to improve the rest of them while supplementing that with new players because realistically we are not going to send to new first—team players in the summer so we have to directly certain extent with what we have got and hopefully his history of rebuilding squads and rebuilding the team and maintain success while doing is the thing that got him the job in the first place. elswhere police have searched
11:55 pm
the home of manchester united defender harry maguire after he received a bomb threat. it's not known who made the threat or in what form it was made. a spokesperson for harry maguire said he received the threat in the last 2a hours and took it seriously. he reported it to the police who are looking into the matter. meanwhile, there could be some well known investors looking to buy chelsea. seven time formula one world champion sir lewis hamilton and former tennis world number one serena williams are both understood to be supporting the bid by potential new owner sir martin broughton. a decision about a preferred bidder is unlikely though this week. meanwhile, american businessman henry mauriss has had a £115 million bid accepted by championship club sheffield united united are sixth in the championship, occupying the final play—off spot with three games remaining. any deal to buy the blades would be subject to the efl�*s owners�* and directors' test. mauriss previously bid £350 million to buy newcastle united in 2020 but the deal fell through. russian world number eight andrey rublev says wimbledon's ban on russian and belarusian players
11:56 pm
is "complete discrimination" and "illogical". rublev — who earlier made it through to the quarter final of the serbia 0pen is one of three top—10 players, along with fellow russian daniil medvedev and aryna sabalenka of belarus who can't play the grass court swing in britain. wimbledon made the decision to ban the players because of the invasion of ukraine. men's world number one and wimbledon champion novak djokovic says he thinks the decision to ban the players is "crazy." translation: iwill| always condemn war. i will never support war, being myself a child of war. i know how much emotional trauma it leaves. in serbia, we all know what happened in 1999. in the balkans, we have had many wars in recent history and ordinary people suffer the most. however, i cannot support the decision of wimbledon, i think it is crazy. players, tennis players, sports people have got nothing to do with that. when politics interferes with sport,
11:57 pm
the result is not good. in formula 1, carlos sainz has a two year extention with ferrari that will keep him at the team until 202a. the new deal means his contract is as long as the current f1 championship leader and teammate charles leclerc. sainz, who joined the team in 2021, is currently third. there's been many good moments and i'm lucky to say that with only one year and the team and i've already... yeah, i can feel good moments coming. i feel like we are working very well already, they won two in bahrain after the hard work it was a great step. now it's time to keep improving, keep getting better as a team and try to keep ourselves in the fight until the end of the year. finally, the 2019 championjudd trump is through to the second round of the world snooker
