11:34 pm
tory party. i suppose this is really quite a worrying development, very serious allegations here, and the public will think, "here's yet another sex scandal coming out of the government." the another sex scandal coming out of the government."— another sex scandal coming out of the government." the headline on the front -a~e the government." the headline on the front page of — the government." the headline on the front page of the _ the government." the headline on the front page of the telegraph, _ the government." the headline on the front page of the telegraph, "tory - front page of the telegraph, "tory mp held on suspicion of rape." we can't see a great deal right now? the interesting thing about this story— the interesting thing about this story is— the interesting thing about this story is that these allegations go back several years, there was a two-year— back several years, there was a two—year police investigation, the allegations are supposed to refer to incidents_ allegations are supposed to refer to incidents that have taken place between — incidents that have taken place between 2002— 09. and of course, as camilla _ between 2002— 09. and of course, as camilla has— between 2002— 09. and of course, as camilla has said, we've had a number of allegations, some criminal convictions, a conservative mp resigning — convictions, a conservative mp resigning because he was watching pawn— resigning because he was watching pawn in the houses of parliament. it raises _ pawn in the houses of parliament. it raises questions about the quality

11:36 pm
there for a moment and go to the front page of the telegraph, they cover that story, of course, but a second—story underneath the photo, the top story. the headline is, "ministers warm to wildly popular energy windfall tax." and one of the reporters on this story is camilla turner — take it away, camilla. this turner - take it away, camilla. this is the story — turner - take it away, camilla. this is the story on _ turner — take it away, camilla. ti 3 is the story on tomorrow's front paper which is based on some polling conducted in whitehall, this was research on how the public feel about this windfall tax we've been hearing so much about from labour, it's what they've been really pushing in recent weeks and months. in this polling actually found the policy is wildly popular there with the public, as many as eight in ten people supported, and people think these oil and energy gas bosses have acted like corporate cowboys, profiting at a time when households up profiting at a time when households up and doused the country are paying the soaring bills —— up and down the
11:37 pm
country. today was the debate triggered by labour trying to put pressure on the government to bring about this windfall tax, and it was very interesting to see, we had some very interesting to see, we had some very senior tory mps who select committee chairs — both openly calling on the government to back this policy. but of course, if the government were to adopt this policy, it would be a huge win for labour and it really displays into that idea of those who say the tory government are out of ideas and steam at our having to borrow ideas from their opposition. it’s from their opposition. it's interesting _ from their opposition. it's interesting that _ from their opposition. it's interesting that one of the lines out of the government is "we don't want to implement this windfall tax, we want the big energy companies to invest, and that helps the long term prospects for energy security in the uk." but it seems like that argument will have to give way potentially? yes, and the argument will probably

11:39 pm
having such an extreme and damaging impact on so new people in the months ahead, it looks like it'll get worse. let's go to the times's front page because they focus on the chancellor rishi sunak, and the headline is, "sunak lands heating bill discounts and tax cuts." camilla, what is the times reporting here? , , ., ., camilla, what is the times reporting here? , ,., ., here? this is another scoop similarly — here? this is another scoop similarly on _ here? this is another scoop similarly on the _ here? this is another scoop similarly on the cost - here? this is another scoop similarly on the cost of - here? this is another scoop l similarly on the cost of living process and the ways the government will potentially try and alleviate the soaring bills that households are facing. the times are saying the chancellor is drawing up plans to increase the warm home discount, then later in the year cut taxes. so a two—pronged approach to tackle the cost of living— this warm home discount currently takes 150 million -- £150 off discount currently takes 150 million —— £150 off the poorest households
11:40 pm
in the country. there are talks to increase this to up to even £600, so this would be a one—off measure that they are looking at, just to tackle they are looking at, just to tackle the soaring household bills that households are expensing of the moment. it's quite poignant we've got multiple newspaper front pages all looking at different ideas or policies that the treasury will be looking at. i think it's no coincidence that all of these have come on a day when labour held their debate on the windfall tax, and clearly rather than the government having a whole bunch of front pages on their hands to democrat attacking them for their policy is, what we have instead are lots of different policy ideas on the front pages about things they could be doing. it really points to the pressure being on and the government know they have to do something, and they know they have to act quicklyjust to make sure they're leading the way on
11:41 pm
this, ratherthanjust sure they're leading the way on this, rather than just being sure they're leading the way on this, rather thanjust being bashed by labour for not doing enough. this, rather thanjust being bashed by labourfor not doing enough. aha, by labour for not doing enough. a really interesting peek behind the curtain there about how the whole operation works, thank you for that. how troubling do you think this whole issue is for the conservatives? i whole issue is for the conservatives? ~ 3 , conservatives? i think it's very troubling- _ conservatives? i think it's very troubling- l— conservatives? i think it's very troubling. i think _ conservatives? i think it's very troubling. i think the - conservatives? i think it's very troubling. i think the fact - conservatives? i think it's very troubling. i think the fact that l conservatives? i think it's very i troubling. i think the fact that we have _ troubling. i think the fact that we have food — troubling. i think the fact that we have food banks in this country, you io have food banks in this country, you go to— have food banks in this country, you go to a _ have food banks in this country, you go to a supermarket and supermarket i have, _ go to a supermarket and supermarket i have, there's a huge case they're saying. _ i have, there's a huge case they're saying. why— i have, there's a huge case they're saying, why don't you donate food? people _ saying, why don't you donate food? people are — saying, why don't you donate food? people are going and taking shelter in mcdonald's and other places because — in mcdonald's and other places because they can't heat their homes, and so _ because they can't heat their homes, and so on _ because they can't heat their homes, and so on. we are one of the largest economies— and so on. we are one of the largest economies in— and so on. we are one of the largest economies in the world — when that is happening in that situation, it raises _ is happening in that situation, it raises all— is happening in that situation, it raises all sorts of questions about the management of the economy. 0k, there are _ the management of the economy. 0k, there are other factors here beyond there are other factors here beyond the control— there are other factors here beyond the control of the government, but the control of the government, but the government has to act and show it cares—

the government has to act and show it cares for— the government has to act and show it cares for the people. the times story— it cares for the people. the times storv also— it cares for the people. the times story also shows that rishi sunak's approach _ story also shows that rishi sunak's approach would be a two—pronged policy, _ approach would be a two—pronged policy, discount on energy bills for those _ policy, discount on energy bills for those on _ policy, discount on energy bills for those on low income and also an autumn strategy of cutting income tax, autumn strategy of cutting income tax. the _ autumn strategy of cutting income tax, the cuts he promised, bringing it forward — tax, the cuts he promised, bringing it forward in— tax, the cuts he promised, bringing it forward. in the government can't io it forward. in the government can't go on _ it forward. in the government can't go on appearing to say, well, these are measures beyond our control. the government— are measures beyond our control. the government is to show that it is acting on— government is to show that it is acting on behalf of the people, so it has— acting on behalf of the people, so it has to _ acting on behalf of the people, so it has to act. and i think this is a very— it has to act. and i think this is a very serious _ it has to act. and i think this is a very serious crisis we are facing, probably— very serious crisis we are facing, probably the likes we haven't faced since _ probably the likes we haven't faced since the _ probably the likes we haven't faced since the three—day week back in the 1970s_ since the three—day week back in the 1970s which i remember as a student. going _ 1970s which i remember as a student. going to _ 1970s which i remember as a student. going to the _ 1970s which i remember as a student. going to the front page of the daily mail now, this is related tangentially — basically it talks about inflation, the cost of living going up and all things that we buy, and the bank of england's role in all that. in the headline is, "so
11:43 pm
that's why the bank of england is helpless." can you help us understand this, camilla? so helpless." can you help us understand this, camilla? so this is mar in: understand this, camilla? so this is marrying two _ understand this, camilla? so this is marrying two recent issues - understand this, camilla? so this is marrying two recent issues that - understand this, camilla? so this is| marrying two recent issues that have been around the news, one of which is the blame game and the bank of england coming under some criticism from tory mps, wondering why it wasn't doing enough, it's meant to keep inflation around 2%, what's going on here? we have the bank of england saying they are actually helpless to get this in line because there are some things that are so completely out of their control like the war in ukraine and the pandemic, and these massive global forces that mean it's definitely not in their control to keep inflation in check. now the second issue which the daily mail has been campaigning very hard on is this working from home problem where they've been looking at
11:44 pm
various different government departments and shining a light on the slow return to the office at different whitehall departments. now they are having a look at the bank of england, saying that actually, officials are just coming in for one day a week at the moment and they are drawing these two themes together, they got a quote from the former cabinet minister liam fox, saying the bank of england should be doing all it can to ease this inflation pressure, so why on earth is it that they are only coming into the office one day a week was mike these are two issues brought together here. do these are two issues brought together here.— together here. do you think inflation is _ together here. do you think inflation is due _ together here. do you think inflation is due to _ together here. do you think inflation is due to the - together here. do you think| inflation is due to the global pressures and coming out of covid, and all around the world, or do you think it's working from home? i think it's working from home? i don't think inflation can be related directly— don't think inflation can be related directly to— don't think inflation can be related directly to working from home. there are wider— directly to working from home. there are wider pressures at work here, but i _ are wider pressures at work here, but i think— are wider pressures at work here, but i think this story at the mail is about— but i think this story at the mail is about the stewardship of the bank
11:45 pm
under— is about the stewardship of the bank under andrew bailey. for a long time now they've _ under andrew bailey. for a long time now they've been attacking andrew bailey. _ now they've been attacking andrew bailey, who himself said he can't control— bailey, who himself said he can't control inflation, he spoken of apoplectic food prices. the question is whether— apoplectic food prices. the question is whether the governor is up for hisioh, — is whether the governor is up for hisioh, and _ is whether the governor is up for hisjob, and whether in fact having an independent bank is the right policv? — an independent bank is the right policy? rememberwhen an independent bank is the right policy? remember when labour came to power— policy? remember when labour came to power in _ policy? remember when labour came to power in 1997, gordon brown made the bank independent, and they had been hailed _ bank independent, and they had been hailed until now is the right policy to follow — hailed until now is the right policy to follow i— hailed until now is the right policy to follow. i think the mail is raising _ to follow. i think the mail is raising questions, and this question has been _ raising questions, and this question has been raised within the conservative party as to whether the stewardship of andrew bailey is worth— stewardship of andrew bailey is worth having, and whether he's providing — worth having, and whether he's providing the right leadership. and i providing the right leadership. and i suspect— providing the right leadership. and i suspect this daily mail campaign will go _ i suspect this daily mail campaign will go on — i suspect this daily mail campaign will go on if measures are not shown to he _ will go on if measures are not shown to be taken, —
11:46 pm
will go on if measures are not shown to be taken, providing some relief to be taken, providing some relief to people — to be taken, providing some relief to people who are under pressure with rising — to people who are under pressure with rising inflation. that certainly _ with rising inflation. that certainly would _ with rising inflation. that certainly would be - with rising inflation. that certainly would be a - with rising inflation. twat certainly would be a structural change. the i has a significant point, i know we've been talking about the cost of living in various measures and ideas. this is a particularly striking one, the headline is, "sunak plots 1p income tax cut this year." why is this significant? tax cut this year. " why is this significant?— significant? this is a very interesting _ significant? this is a very interesting story - significant? this is a very interesting story from - significant? this is a very | interesting story from the significant? this is a very i interesting story from the i, significant? this is a very - interesting story from the i, yet again more potential leaks or glimpses at what it is the treasurer —— treasury are looking at to ease the cost of living. the i suggests there will be an income tax cut at 1p, of course cutting taxes is very popular among core conservative voters, they think the tory party should be the party of low tax. there was lots of commentary around the spring budget, by the taxes were at their highest level in decades.
11:47 pm
so this would be a popular measure with backbenchers, but the question is whether this tax cut will come in, will it come in this year or wait until this autumn? there are a couple other points that i say, that he is also lobbying the chancellor to reverse the national insurance hike and vat on fuel bills. clearly there are a few different ideas being bandied around that they are focusing on this 1p income tax cut, which would certainly be a very bold move, sending a message that the chancellor really is trying to get a grip on things without —— by using household bills. grip on things without -- by using household bills.— household bills. let's go international— household bills. let's go international now - household bills. let's go international now and i household bills. let's go l international now and look household bills. let's go - international now and look at ukraine and russia over the front page of the guardian. the story on the bottom right headline, "fate of azovstal soldiers and clear after

11:50 pm
be the field of conspiracy theorists are crazy people who wanted to fantasise about these things. but here we have the congress hearing first—hand from intelligence officials about the existence of these. 0ne officials about the existence of these. one thing to mention is that they did say there is no suggestion that these had extraterrestrial origins. that these had extraterrestrial oriains. �* . v that these had extraterrestrial oriains. �* ., �*, ., that these had extraterrestrial oriins. �* ., �*, ., . . ., origins. and that's quite a crucial oint we origins. and that's quite a crucial point we should _ origins. and that's quite a crucial point we should get _ origins. and that's quite a crucial point we should get in _ origins. and that's quite a crucial point we should get in there. - origins. and that's quite a crucial point we should get in there. in | origins. and that's quite a crucial. point we should get in there. in the last 30 seconds, it will this just be fuel to conspiracy theorists? 0bviously be fuel to conspiracy theorists? obviously the star is saying we should — obviously the star is saying we should give it a surprise. they would — should give it a surprise. they would require the ufo to come in and -ive would require the ufo to come in and give it— would require the ufo to come in and give it a _ would require the ufo to come in and give it a pulitzer prize. brilliantly done, thanks so much to both of you for talking us through the papers we will all be talking about tomorrow morning and throughout the day. we appreciate your time, thank you very much. the papers will be back

11:52 pm
well, this at least should've cheered him up, as liverpool promptly equalised. takumi minamino lashing at home to make it all square at the break. so, could they find a winner? well, they weren't short of chances, but none of them would go in! the tension was palpable. finally, though, they got their reward. a looping header from joel matip spiking delight among the players and relief among the fans. not a goal of the season contender, perhaps but that hardly mattered. so the title race goes to the final day — and while liverpool need manchester city to slip up, they'll believe anything is still possible. andy swiss, bbc news. nottingham forest are through to the championship play—off final after beating sheffield united on penalties. brennanjohnson opened the scoring — that put forest 1—0 up on the night, and 3—1 ahead on aggregate. but sheffield united struck back, with goals from morgan gibbs—white and john fleck to make it 3—3 on aggregate and force extra time. nothing to separate them there, so penalties needed.
11:53 pm
and the hero of night was brice samba — the forest keeper saved three spot kicks, the final one from gibbs—white, which sparked the wild celebrations and the fans onto the pitch. forest take on huddersfield in the final later this month for a chance to be back in the top flight for the first time since 1999. steph houghton has been included in england's 28—woman provisional squad for this summer's european championships. the former captain has been out injured since january and hasn't played under boss sarina wiegman yet. however, tough news for arsenal midfielderjordan nobbs — she's been left out after picking up a knee injury earlier this month. she looks set to miss another major tournament, having not played at the 2019 world cup. yes, so the arsenal midfielder, jordan nobbs, she went to the world cup in 2015 but barely played because she went injured and wasn't really fit to play while she was out there. she's talked about how hard it was to be part of a squad that won a bronze medal, and her barely playing a minute. she missed the last world cup in 2019 because of an awful knee injury. so the fact that she's missing out
11:54 pm
again with a knee injury will be very hard for her to take. now the 23—player squad selection will take place mid—june. the tournament starts in 50 days today when england host austria at old trafford. manchester city are losing their all—time top goal—scorer, england midfielder georgia stanway. she'sjoining german club bayern munich. she made her senior debut for city at 16, and leaves with 57 goals in 165 appearances. the 23—year—old's last game was the fa cup final defeat to chelsea on sunday. eritrea's biniam girmay has made cycling history at the giro d'italia — he's become the first black african rider to win a stage at a grand tour. it happened on stage ten of the giro and against top—class opposition in the shape of mathieu van der poel, who put his thumb up to admit defeat as the eritrean beat him to the finish line. girmay continues to make history, having become the first black african to win a one—day classic race this season, but this is the biggest victory of the 22—year—old's career so far. british number one cameron norrie continued his preparations for the french open, with a straight—sets win at the atp event in lyon.
11:55 pm
