for the news where you are, but from the ten team it's goodnight. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the daily mirror columnist, susie boniface, and ali miraj, who's a columnist at the article. welcome back to both of you. tomorrow's front pages, here they are so far. let's start with the metro — which leads with a message from the family of olivia pratt—korbel, who say they will get justice for the nine year old's killing. the guardian leads with an exclusive report on russian plans to disconnect europe's largest nuclear plant from ukraine's powergrid, risking a catastrophic failure of its cooling systems. the telegraph reports on a message from prime minister borisjohnson,

who asks the public to endure the cost of living crisis to help ukraine win in its war with russia. but the mirror leads with a different plea — to freeze our bills ahead of friday's rise in the energy price cap. to the tory leadership race now — the times calls plans from liz truss to move £10 billion out of the nhs and put it into social care a "raid" which will cause "alarm". and finally, the daily mail leads with the home secretary's priti patel�*s plan to launch a "rapid removal" scheme to deal with what it calls "a surge" in channel crossings by albanian migrants. let's start with the metro, please, susie. ~ . ., ., , let's start with the metro, please, susie. ~ . ., .,, ~ let's start with the metro, please, susie. ~ . ., ., , .

higher price than we are. however it won't go down to well at home — not that he cares any more, let's face it, he checked out, but when he says if we have to pay a price — there's no if about it, we are. we'll be paying them inside 48 hours. now if he was going to be prime minister in the nearfuture, then this comparison for when he would be being asked to come up with a package of measures to help people get through the winter, it may 10% on covid to cushion the country through this difficult winter, this thing will go down terribly badly but he's worried about his legacy now, how he looks in the long term. talking about what liz truss has to do on day one if she becomes prime minister — that's someone else's problem now, borisjohnson has gone off to ukraine again, he's getting

praised by president zelensky. it was billed in a couple places today as a surprise visit to ukraine — there's nothing surprising about it whatsoever, of course he would go to ukraine again, it's literally the only thing he can say is a success as part of his legacy so far. unless the... he seems to have forgotten all about that. basically this is the prime minister having a last hurrah rally tour of his hotspots, and he's completely ignoring some of the issues. borisjohnson, while putting it in context, is ignoring the fact that some people in this country will be paying the price in blood, hungerand country will be paying the price in blood, hunger and starvation this winter. it will affect lots of people very seriously — it's not just a case of people very rich, like boris, being able to pay higher bills. some people can't pay those bills. some people can't pay those
