this is bbc news. the headlines — the us supreme court has confirmed the authenticity of a leaked document which suggests millions of women could lose their legal right to an abortion. if the landmark ruling roe v wade is overturned, abortion will become illegal in 22 states. meanwhile, president biden has warned americans that any move to scrap legalised abortion would throw into question a whole range of rights and that "basic fairness" demanded the right to abortion. rival demonstrations have been taking place outside the supreme court. 101 civilians who've been living under the besieged steel plant in mariupol have finally reached safety in ukrainian territory.

many had been trapped underground for over 60 days. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are katy balls, who's deputy political editor at the spectator, and the broadcaster penny smith. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the metro covers a terror trial in which a former pub landlord is alleged to have claimed money in covid bounce—back loans, but then sent it to the islamic state terrorist group. the same story is in the ft, though they lead with the huge profts made by bp and the calls they've prompted for a windfall tax on energy firms.

in the madeleine mccann case, saying fibres from madeleine's clothing have been found in a camper van belonging to the chief suspect. so, let's begin. a wide variety of front pages in one story that appears on many of them and we will start with the daily mirror. beyond pathetic and this is a story about the amount of money bp has made as it has announced a sharp rise in profits for the first quarter of the year. they have got the cat litter out and amounted that it is £639 a second and given the political allegiances of the daily mirror, it is not happy. this political allegiances of the daily mirror, it is not happy.- mirror, it is not happy. this is such a huge. _ mirror, it is not happy. this is such a huge, huge _ mirror, it is not happy. this is such a huge, huge leap- mirror, it is not happy. this is such a huge, huge leap in - such a huge, huge leap in profits for bp. and they are linking... and they have put beyond pathetic

because of the interview, they are going being on the interview that borisjohnson did on good morning britain. and it's saying that obviously this is such a major problem for anybody. everybody in britain is struggling with the cost of heating, and petrol obviously, but you have got that one particular point where he is challenged about 877—year—old woman who essentially has been forced to go endlessly round on a busjust has been forced to go endlessly round on a bus just to has been forced to go endlessly round on a busjust to keep more because she cannot afford to keep warm at home. before he even addresses that in what he really should have said in that situation was how appalling and i do know that this is not a one—off, notjust one isolated incident, people up and in the land are really struggling and struggling to make ends meet and evenif struggling to make ends meet and even if they are not struggling now
11:35 pm
because of course it is my and it is unseasonably cold but it is going to get a little bit easier over the summer and then comes the winter again. soap is bad enough already but what he should've said was it's a terrible situation and we are seeing what we can do and we will have and maybe even say we will look again at may doing a windfall tax on bp. because after all when he was challenged, the chap of the type of bp, when he was challenged would he stop doing any of the things that he was going to invest in with his 18 billion that he already put aside, what he stop any of those if he had a windfall tax, he said no, so do it. �* , ., ~ a windfall tax, he said no, so do it. let's talk about the windfall tax. now the _ it. let's talk about the windfall tax. now the daily _ it. let's talk about the windfall tax. now the daily mirror - it. let's talk about the windfall tax. now the daily mirror is . it. let's talk about the windfall - tax. now the daily mirror is calling a course the prime minister has set the energy tax will deter investment in renewables and green energy. what else is government saying as to why it does not think it's a good idea? the government argument that you hear is _
11:36 pm
the government argument that you hear is as_ the government argument that you hear is as you say it would deter investment_ hear is as you say it would deter investment and actually want to attract these companies here and you want to— attract these companies here and you want to put— attract these companies here and you want to put in most of the economy as possible — want to put in most of the economy as possible and suggesting bad for business — as possible and suggesting bad for business. where that line gets a bit harder_ business. where that line gets a bit harder to _ business. where that line gets a bit harder to hold is as you hear about these _ harder to hold is as you hear about these sky—high profits from bp in these sky—high profits from bp in the suggestion in one of the view that even— the suggestion in one of the view that even if there was a windfall tax, that even if there was a windfall tax. bp— that even if there was a windfall tax, bp would not change the investment plans here. sol tax, bp would not change the investment plans here. so i think you wiii— investment plans here. so i think you will see more pressure on the government to consider this an labout— government to consider this an labour has _ government to consider this an labour has been calling for some time _ labour has been calling for some time and — labour has been calling for some time and i— labour has been calling for some time and i think it's really one of their— time and i think it's really one of their clearest policies, if not the clearest — their clearest policies, if not the clearest in— their clearest policies, if not the clearest in terms of what they managed to get out there in the media — managed to get out there in the media. and that means that the tories _ media. and that means that the tories are in a tight spot because you have — tories are in a tight spot because you have a — tories are in a tight spot because you have a situation where lots of people _ you have a situation where lots of people don't want to give labour a win but— people don't want to give labour a win but in— people don't want to give labour a win but in recent weeks we have had a fracturing in terms of where the cabinet _ a fracturing in terms of where the cabinet speak on this and in terms of emphasis. so you had the chancellor last week not really one out and _ chancellor last week not really one out and not saying it was going to

happen— out and not saying it was going to happen but not really get out if companies did not do enough of their own accord — companies did not do enough of their own accord. and while borisjohnson has been _ own accord. and while borisjohnson has been more strident against one, ithink— has been more strident against one, i think it _ has been more strident against one, i think it does come down to the back— i think it does come down to the back bench— i think it does come down to the back bench and what can the government do in this crisis? the premise _ government do in this crisis? the premise of— government do in this crisis? the premise of the day suggested there are limits _ premise of the day suggested there are limits because government does not want _ are limits because government does not want to— are limits because government does not want to fit inflation so he does not want to fit inflation so he does not want _ not want to fit inflation so he does not want to — not want to fit inflation so he does not want to borrow more but this does _ not want to borrow more but this does mean — not want to borrow more but this does mean you will see more pressure for something like a windfall tax to provide _ for something like a windfall tax to provide a _ for something like a windfall tax to provide a bit of extra support. turning — provide a bit of extra support. turning to _ provide a bit of extra support. turning to the i now, she mentioned they are the tories in a tight spot. you could argue the same over their plans for a cross channel migrants if the headline here is to be believed. miranda migrant planning chaos. tell us a bit more about what the i is saying about this. i chaos. tell us a bit more about what the i is saying about this.— the i is saying about this. i don't think anybody — the i is saying about this. i don't think anybody will— the i is saying about this. i don't think anybody will be _ think anybody will be particularly surprised with the fact that when this much touted new idea of sending people straight to ramada where they
11:38 pm
would then be processed as it were, i don't think there was any surprise they were going to be challenges because immediately they announced it, everybody said there will be challenges. it looks like they will be no deportations taking place four months despite the target of doing it this month. there was a legal challenge which could result in an injunction against this resettlement scheme. and meanwhile 7000 people have arrived in small boats so far and criminal gangs are actually using this as a way to extort even more money from these people because they are saying you have got to get over before things change it which is just one out that these are people who are desperate. they had been through help. the vast majority of them. i would say that actually all of them really because anybody he was prepared to take a small leaky boat to try and get across the
11:39 pm
channel is going to be in a terrible situation. they have survived violence, disaster, persecution, war, whatever and just put that in perspective and putting that out there. and now there is this blame game going on and the i says it's over the optimistic timescale. coming on the top of what we have just seen on the front page of the daily mirror and other papers, there will be a lot of tories just going at the moment things are not going their way. the at the moment things are not going their wa . ., , at the moment things are not going their wa . ,., .,, _, their way. the government has come under a lot of— their way. the government has come under a lot of pressure _ their way. the government has come under a lot of pressure to _ their way. the government has come under a lot of pressure to try - their way. the government has come under a lot of pressure to try to - under a lot of pressure to try to stem the tide of the number of migrants that are coming to the uk, and i suppose one might say these things take time and yes perhaps the timescale was a little bit optimistic. but this was never going to be an incident fix, was it? i to be an incident fix, was it? i also think there is a weight with the policy — also think there is a weight with the policy. politicallyl also think there is a weight with the policy. politically i think the sense _ the policy. politically i think the sense of— the policy. politically i think the

11:46 pm
to private school that is not a shoo—in. interesting one because i was talking to somebody in the other day and whose shout us trying to get into one of these oxbridge universities and they were talking about how they are having to have this extra tutoring to get through the actual chat and i did not realise there was an interview that took place when it goes to show out of the loop i am. but you have after tutoring and all that sort of stuff in the point is if you go to a state school and are on free school meals, the last thing you can afford is extra tutoring and anything at all. at the moment as we know with the cost of living going through the roof. even more unlikely that you were going to get any extra tutoring but you are right, your question was do you think anybody will be surprised from private schools and i suppose the issue might be about
11:47 pm
parents who may be our put people through and putting children through private schools at a great cost to themselves and were thinking what if themselves and were thinking what if the flipping point than? thea;r themselves and were thinking what if the flipping point than?— the flipping point than? they may be askin: that the flipping point than? they may be asking that question _ the flipping point than? they may be asking that question and _ the flipping point than? they may be asking that question and i _ the flipping point than? they may be asking that question and i think- asking that question and i think there's an interesting point and she made a point about poor pupils there perhaps on free school meals but the bottom line if there are plenty of skate school shooter who come from very wealthy homes and actually this is not necessarily addressing the question of class, which isjust is not necessarily addressing the question of class, which is just as important as wealth in this debate. interesting in the interview they had a _ interesting in the interview they had a student who makes the point that actually you want to look at things— that actually you want to look at things like free school meal eligibility and also grammar school recruitment because focusing on intake _ recruitment because focusing on intake from state schools alone as he intake from state schools alone as be just _ intake from state schools alone as he just touched on is not such an effective — he just touched on is not such an effective indicator of wealth or social— effective indicator of wealth or social class and for example thing about _

11:50 pm
and sienna rodgers, senior writer for the house magazine. dojoin us then if you can but for now, from me, until the next time, goodnight. earlier tonight, here on bbc news, we brought you a debate between the five main parties' leaders in northern ireland ahead of thursday's assembly election. you can watch that programme again on the iplayer. for more reaction to the debate, here's bbc newsline's tara mills. let's hear from some of the smaller parties now starting with the tuv leaderjim allister. you are very welcome to the programme. did you watch the debate? what did you make of it? i thought it was a perfect illustration of why the system of government will never work. there was not one line of agreement. all you had with squabble. and these are our parties of government so called, and that of course is but a microcosm
11:51 pm
of the executive itself. there are two fundamental reasons why this executive will never work. one of them is they don't have to be agreed on anything in order to be in government. it's no surprise when they are in government, they cannot agree as they could not agree tonight. and secondly sinn fein are not there to make northern ireland work. that's the added toxic element. i think that when we go to vote on thursday, it's quite appalling that all that is an offer is more of the same. some might have watched it tonight and thought i said the other parties were in agreement, but the dup were the outsider. i'm sorry. surely the fundamental agreement across the world is that those who are in government are those who are agreed what they are going to do about health, education, etc,
11:52 pm
but we have this absurd system in northern ireland called mandatory coalition, so we don't have to agree about anything. because of the agreement... doesn't make it any better. on thursday the people of northern ireland appallingly are not allowed to change the government. they are not allowed to vote any of these parties out of the government no matter how much they have failed and you had a collective failure tonight. and that's because if these parties hold onto a clutch of malaise, they are entitled to a right to be in the government without being a real anything. the other thing disappointing about the debate was neither jeffrey donaldson nor doug beatty spelled out why the protocol is anathema to unionism, so let me do it. it is anathema because the protocol to create and operates on the basis on the basis that gb, the other part of this united kingdom, is a foreign country. now that is something no unionist can ever bear of course the goods from gb are subject
