provided evidence to that it is an inquiry their names were released to him and they would be able to give evidence to the investigation on the basis of anonymity and that clearly wasn't the case. all these kinds of incidents on divine faith for victims. about coming forward with incompetence. and there people who support their claims. it's all getting very messy, i'm afraid. irate getting very messy, i'm afraid. we will see how the follow continues from the stories will be looking at, particularly the outcome of the inquiry regarding the mpe neil parrish was up if we look at the other big story of today, of course boris becker. it in the sun as it is mentioned in some of the other papers tomorrow morning the downfall of tennis legend boris becker. shyama, how does this fit that

template that we see of the rise and fall of the stars? we put them up on pedestals and then somehow almost inevitably it seems there the fall. i suspect there are these falls in every— i suspect there are these falls in every walk— i suspect there are these falls in every walk of life it's just at the stars _ every walk of life it's just at the stars lives — every walk of life it's just at the stars lives are public. of course we see it _ stars lives are public. of course we see it large — stars lives are public. of course we see it large. from the music industry to the film industry to the sports _ industry to the film industry to the sports industry there are people who have reached stardom and public adulation— have reached stardom and public adulation very quickly. and i guess and i_ adulation very quickly. and i guess and i have — adulation very quickly. and i guess and i have absolutely no idea if there's— and i have absolutely no idea if there's truth in it but i imagine that— there's truth in it but i imagine that what— there's truth in it but i imagine that what happens is, there is a skip in— that what happens is, there is a skip in your— that what happens is, there is a skip in your maturity at some point because _ skip in your maturity at some point because you're spending so much time bein- because you're spending so much time being brilliant at what you do that you lose — being brilliant at what you do that you lose part of that growing up process because your life is entirely— process because your life is entirely wedded to the sport or the art. entirely wedded to the sport or the art per— entirely wedded to the sport or the art. per haps that feeds into boris becker's— art. per haps that feeds into boris becker's bad luck here in avoiding

they've shown. 0rdinary civilians arming themselves and seeing office invasion the best they can. but all the while what's happening, it's almost seems to be making the situation worse and that the theory is that russia willjust respond and even more aggressive ways. we see the fear of chemical weapons and that kind of thing. 0bviously the fear of chemical weapons and that kind of thing. obviously going even than that. it's almost like every time they aren't defeated the russians will come back ten times harder. thisjust seems russians will come back ten times harder. this just seems that indication that that is what the next step in this whole process will be and even more brutal assault on ukraine. i be and even more brutal assault on ukraine. ., ., , ,., be and even more brutal assault on ukraine. ., ., , ., ukraine. i want to stay with you for the next month. _ ukraine. i want to stay with you for the next month. this _ ukraine. i want to stay with you for the next month. this is _ ukraine. i want to stay with you for the next month. this is your - ukraine. i want to stay with you for the next month. this is your front. the next month. this is yourfront page. the daily express, what britain cares about it says on the front page, what britain really cares about. this is following a pole. cares about. this is following a ole. , ., ., ., . pole. tell us more about that. we commissioned _ pole. tell us more about that. we commissioned a _ pole. tell us more about that. we commissioned a poll— pole. tell us more about that. we commissioned a poll earlier - pole. tell us more about that. we commissioned a poll earlier this i commissioned a poll earlier this

week, it's carried out on monday and tuesday, round 2000 people across the uk. ahead of next week's local elections to see what voters are most concerned about. 0bviously elections to see what voters are most concerned about. obviously we had such negative headlines about party gate and various other issues as we've been discussing tonight surrounding parliament. perhaps unsurprisingly you may agree or disagree, the cost of living crisis absolutely was top priorityjust beyond anything else. people are really feeling that strain. that is what is consuming at the moment. that's closely followed by concern about the nhs and the covid pandemic, the economy, the war in ukraine covered it the key concerns for voters at the moment. and from 11 different issues, party gait was absolutely at the bottom. it seemed to really not be a big dealfor people anymore. i think there seems

to be a sense that voters are tired of hearing about it. the prime minister always makes this point that voters don't want to hear politicians talking about themselves, they want to hear them talking about their concerns. i'm sure he will be chaired by the results tonight. 0bviously, we've got a week to go and voters will actually deliver their votes and see what they really think.— actually deliver their votes and see what they really think. shyama, do ou think what they really think. shyama, do you think this _ what they really think. shyama, do you think this is _ what they really think. shyama, do you think this is a _ what they really think. shyama, do you think this is a case _ what they really think. shyama, do you think this is a case of- what they really think. shyama, do you think this is a case of itjust - you think this is a case of itjust being time that's passed sense party gait? and sam says there's this wariness about it. or is it actually regardless of how much time is past, the cost of living crisis has become such a huge pressing priority that it would have overshadowed any party gait concerns anyway. i it would have overshadowed any party gait concerns anyway.— gait concerns anyway. i suspect it's more the question _ gait concerns anyway. i suspect it's more the question of, _ gait concerns anyway. i suspect it's more the question of, the - gait concerns anyway. i suspect it's more the question of, the cost - gait concerns anyway. i suspect it's more the question of, the cost of. more the question of, the cost of living _ more the question of, the cost of living is— more the question of, the cost of living is a — more the question of, the cost of living is a personal concern. it's something _ living is a personal concern. it's something people have to manage every— something people have to manage every day — something people have to manage every day. party gait is something the tapping over there that you very cross— the tapping over there that you very cross about but if their problem and they've _ cross about but if their problem and they've gotten manager where is the cost of _ they've gotten manager where is the cost of living is something that

questions _ everyday there's a whole new set of questions you could come up with. | questions you could come up with. i want questions you could come up with. want to stay questions you could come up with. i want to stay on this issue. what shyama was saying is the fact that it's stuff that affects us directly such as the cost of living crisis rather than party gait which as you say, could potentially be gazing. however near the time and the immediate aftermath of party gait was there a comparative survey to show how people with feeling about it then? �* . ., �* , it then? blind me. i can't remember what happened _ it then? blind me. i can't remember what happened last _ it then? blind me. i can't remember what happened last week. _ it then? blind me. i can't remember what happened last week. general l what happened last week. general point people are always more angry when a new story breaks, when it's fresh, when it's new and hearing it for the first time they are shocked for that then it becomes a sense of everyone's banging on about that again and people switch off. i'm sure probably if you went back to the polls at the time am sure you have a very different result. it

comes only a week, two weeks after the prime minister received his fixed penalty notice. they have been big significance quite recently on this. i think you would've thought that might of pushed it up the agenda a little bit but no. it was at the bottom. second the bottom from memory. migration and climate change were bottom 3rd. it's quite a clear sense that it is about money, the economy was up there's an awful lot of compassion for people in ukraine. actually, when i spoke to conservative mps about it they said there are two big things on the doorstep when they been canvassing the cost of living in the war in ukraine and our response to it. that chimed in with the results that we found. i chimed in with the results that we found. , ., ., , .,
