11:30 pm
hello, this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. as fighting intensifies in ukraine, officials warn their army is running out of ammunition as it engages in intense artillery battles with russian forces. hundreds of marches are taking place in the us to push for reform of gun laws in the wake of another spate of mass shootings. officials for prince charles have insisted that he is �*politically neutral�* after reports of controversial remarks about the government's asylum policy. police in brazil searching for a missing britishjournalist say they've found possible human remains in a river.
11:31 pm
the government is expected to reject proposals to introduce a new �*salt and sugar tax' on processed food sold in england. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster and psychotherapist lucy beresford, and joe twyman, who's the director of the polling organisation deltapoll. we will chat in a moment. the observer says borisjohnson�*s post—brexit food strategy is met with rural fury as farmers and environmentalists claim it as a disaster for the countryside. the sunday telegraph's headline — �*tories at war over calls to cut taxes�*
11:32 pm
as the cost of living standards continues to rise. the sunday express tells prince charles to �*stay out of politics�* following a report he strongly criticised government plans to send some asylum—seekers to rwanda. royal officials insist the prince of wales �*remains politically neutral�*. the mail on sunday also focuses on the asylum policy, as the home secretary welcomes a high court ruling paving the way for the first flight to take people from the uk to rwanda on tuesday. campaigners say they will fight the policy at the court of appeal on monday. the sunday people covers a defiant message from british volunteers fighting in the war in ukraine, as two britons were sentenced to death by an internationally unrecognised court which supports russia. and the sunday times pictures a student holding a sign calling for stricter gun laws
11:33 pm
in the united states, as thousands of protesters march in cities across america. there we have it. that was a quick look through those front pages. lucy and joe, lovely to see you. joe, you can kick us off this time with the front page of the mail on sunday, and we won�*t be backing down, on rwanda. sunday, and we won't be backing down, on rwanda.— sunday, and we won't be backing down, on rwanda. that's right, and that's linked — down, on rwanda. that's right, and that's linked to _ down, on rwanda. that's right, and that's linked to the _ down, on rwanda. that's right, and that's linked to the reported - that�*s linked to the reported comments made by prince charles, that he was very much a critic of the government�*s flagship plans to send illegal immigrants to rwanda. this is a policy that has divided public opinion almost straight down the middle, with slightly more people posing it than supporting it —— opposing it. it�*s become the government more generally. they�*ve been happy to go into battles with
11:34 pm
people like the high court over this, and now, the latest person in their sites is prince charles, and what a difference a week makes. it was only last week this time when we were talking so much about the popularity of the monarchy and helplessly that corresponds with the popularity of the queen. and this is an indication of how we may be heading for a new era of the relationship between the monarch and the government, because prince charles has not been slow to come forward in some areas before, and the question is once the queen does pass on and prince charles becomes king, what role will he have? how far will he intervene in political debates? no less than four cabinet ministers have been sourced... sorry, have been mentioned as a source is tonight as effectively

telling him to be quiet. it will be interesting to see longer—term what he —— whether he heed the advice or he -- whether he heed the advice or not. . , , ., ., ., ., ~ not. there has been a lot of talk about an updated _ not. there has been a lot of talk about an updated monarchy. - not. there has been a lot of talk- about an updated monarchy. maybe this is the way it will go. well. about an updated monarchy. maybe this is the way it will go.— this is the way it will go. well, it ma ve this is the way it will go. well, it may very inaudible _ may very inaudible we _ may very inaudible we seem to have lost you for a moment. we�*ll try and get you back up moment. we�*ll try and get you back up again. joe, i wonder if you could take us to the sunday telegraph. the story is, agency staff may be used to break marxist union strikes. we have trade unions flexing their muscles over the next two weeks in the area of transport with the imt, balancing its members over strike action. three days within the same week in two weeks. massive
11:36 pm
destruction the country. it�*s not just drivers, is also many rail markers. that could bring transport to a halt —— real workers. the government wants to deal with that in various different ways, and one way is suggested in the paper tonight. they�*re going to look at a law introduced by labour government that said agency workers could not be brought in to replace striking workers. the government originally in 2015 under david cameron looked to replace this. it hasn�*t happened yet. it�*ll be interesting to see whether it can be introduced and if it can be before the strikes this time. i very much doubt it can for these set of strikes, but a summer of discontent is to happen, then this will be something the government is keen to introduce to
11:37 pm
prevent that happening as far as possible. 0ther prevent that happening as far as possible. other measures include rules making a minimum number of two workers available in various other measures. —— tube workers. but if unions are more committed to action, then this could be a number of difficult months ahead for the government. we have not had industrial action... they haven�*t gone on strike for 35 years, so we really have industrial action of the scale for many decades. it will be interesting to see how the government responds and how the public reacts. government responds and how the public ream-— public reacts. lucy, i think you're back with us. _ public reacts. lucy, i think you're back with us. the _ public reacts. lucy, i think you're back with us. the story _ public reacts. lucy, i think you're back with us. the story we're - back with us. the story we�*re discussing his agency staff being brought into break marxist union strikes i�*m sure we�*ve heard that as

11:40 pm
there�*s a lot going on here. there�*s the brexit element that... aspects to the story, the fact that many people working in these communities saw brexit as an opportunity to move away from the common agricultural policy that the european union had operated for so long. and a chance to move to something new and something that could really benefit from farmers. in many ways, we�*ve seen that those who are hopeful about opportunities for brexit have in some occasions been disappointed so far. this appears to be another incident of this. can similarly use the northern ireland protocol. more widely, there are no questions about the whole government�*s environmental agenda in the aftermath of cop26, which was such an important moment for the government generally and

11:44 pm
international nature of food supply and food demand. indigenous crops may be one answer, but with a growing population and all of these countries, the demand for food rises. and with increased difficulties caused by climate change, this is a situation that potentially is not going to get any better anytime soon. while individual events such as the invasion of ukraine do have a negative impact, lucy is absolutely right that this is a situation that the whole world has to address in the whole world has to address in the medium to long—term, notjust the medium to long—term, notjust the short term. 0k. we�*re going to end on a higher note, excuse the pun! we have a picture here of a little girl, seven years old, her name is amelia. two —— to explain the picture, listen to this
