11:37 pm
says, it seems from the telegraph and the times who have got what feels like very strong legs from the treasury or only some guidance that rather than going for those big headline cuts, what they are going to try and do is stalk of stealth measures so things like, yes, freezing thresholds here and windfall taxes there, rather than doing something, as the front pages are still screaming today, would be very difficult going into a general election were as we know, pensioners are far more likely to vote than younger people. fine are far more likely to vote than younger people-— are far more likely to vote than ounuer --eole. ., , ., younger people. one more question each to ask — younger people. one more question each to ask you _ younger people. one more question each to ask you on _ younger people. one more question each to ask you on this, _ younger people. one more question each to ask you on this, rosa, - each to ask you on this, rosa, before i leave you, do we have these lakes, do they really occur in the build—up of something as big as the goodman statement simply to gauge the mood of the british public? is that the norm? this i the mood of the british public? is that the norm?— that the norm? as i said, i didn't used to be- _

11:41 pm
rosa, what i want to put to you is that sort of narrative is something that sort of narrative is something that ukraine would be happy to push forward, however in the build—up to the 620, a lot of the nations, particularly the us, were quoted as saying we need you to be around the table now with president putin. band table now with president putin. and that is table now with president putin. fific that is something that the ukrainians have revisited hard. if you are ukrainian, you consider that russia invaded part of your country in 2014, in crimea, the west didn't do very much, and so president putin felt free to grab another, and invaded fully this time around. we have ukrainian journalist writing for us, ukraine mp this week, they are very resistant to the idea that there is anything to negotiate. they are a sovereign power, this is their country, and look, the war to date is going relatively well for them. even a few weeks ago, it would have seemed quite fanciful, the idea that
11:42 pm
zelensky could have rocked up in kherson but that he is, a massive morale boost to the country, to the troops, and i don't think he's going to be sitting around the table and trying to negotiate with president putin anytime soon. obviously, that is mean a long and drawn out and very unpleasant war, there aren't going to be many good days, i don't think, so i guess we should allow the people of kherson to enjoy this for now. the people of kherson to en'oy this for now. , ., , ., ., ., for now. same story, i am going to show ou for now. same story, i am going to show you a — for now. same story, i am going to show you a different _ for now. same story, i am going to show you a different front - for now. same story, i am going to show you a different front page, i for now. same story, i am going to. show you a different front page, you give us your full show you a different front page, you give us yourfull sun show you a different front page, you give us your full sun president zelensky, obviously the front page of the metro has a picture of that visit but sonia, your thoughts? b55 visit but sonia, your thoughts? is rosette visit but sonia, your thoughts? sis rosette said, it was hugely symbolic, you've got ukrainian flags that have been raised above kherson town full, the eu flag as well, so it is a sweet day but bittersweet because as these russian forces withdrew, ukrainian investigators
11:43 pm
say they found evidence of 400 war crimes yet to be verified but i am sure there will be evidence of much more, we have all heard the stories coming out of occupied areas about some of the barbarism and cruelty with which ukrainian citizens were treated by russian soldiers. so, there will be that sort of evidence that comes to light when russia withdraws from places like kherson. but, you know, ithink withdraws from places like kherson. but, you know, i think zelensky is being clear that there is a long way to go yet so it is a good day for ukraine, as rosa was saying, this does look like a conflict that could go on for a very, very long time, and we know that ukrainian government has been saying it is not getting arms as quickly as it needs from western governments so it is really trying to put the pressure on to get even more support more quickly to make sure that it is

frosty, and particularly since nancy pelosi, the leader of the house of representatives, had gone to china and made starts about taiwan, she had a large chinese constituency in her san francisco seat and it has been something she has campaigned on for years but it went down badly in beijing and relations have been frosty recently so some very hope this has turned a corner. nobody backed down, everybody made their position clear but president biden was able to leave the meeting and say there is no invasion imminent so he certainly thinks it was a good meeting, it lasted three and a half hours and hopefully they can go from there. we hours and hopefully they can go from there. ~ ., ,., hours and hopefully they can go from there. ~ ., ., , ., , there. we also have the same story in the front — there. we also have the same story in the front page, _ there. we also have the same story in the front page, if _ there. we also have the same story in the front page, if you _ there. we also have the same story in the front page, if you could - there. we also have the same story in the front page, if you could take| in the front page, if you could take as to that, on the front page of the financial times, we are talking about taiwan tensions, as we have just heard, but if you think about it, president biden has another election to win, president xi, he

11:51 pm
had been outspoken and vocal about the fact that their dream has been to win the final at old trafford. here in the semifinal they started fast, francesca 6oldthorpe getting the hosts off to an excellent start, thinking —— they were 6—0 up and they were full of intensity. however, new zealand are full of pedigree, they are still worse in the women's rugby league game and it wasn't long before they scored two tries and they were the ones that went in at half—time with an 8—6 lead. after the break, two quickfire went in at half—time with an 8—6 lead again the break, two quickfire went in at half—time with an 8—6 lead again from reak, two quickfire went in at half—time with an 8—6 lead again from the (, two quickfire went in at half—time with an 8—6 lead again from the new: quickfire went in at half—time with an 8—6 lead again from the new zealand 'e tries again from the new zealand team had them in control of this tie tries again from the new zealand team h as them in control of this tie tries again from the new zealand team h as them in control of th just bfidge bridge that step up new zealand, they professional players, a of are professional players, a lot of them play in the domestic been the australia. they have been in the last five finals and won three of them, this was always going to be tough for england who have never beenin

11:53 pm
would look like for his team. i think for us we are going in for the mindset of we take each game as it comes, we give 110% and whatever comes of that, it has been a successfuljourney comes of that, it has been a successful journey for us and comes of that, it has been a successfuljourney for us and we will be doing everything we can to qualify out of the group and go as far as we can. but we just need to do what we do best, give all our heart for this shirt and that will be enough for us and the fans. manchester united have issued a brief statement about the comments made by cristiano ronaldo. the five—time ballon d'or winner said he felt betrayed by the club and was being forced out. he told piers morgan uncensored on talktv that he he has no respect for his manager eric ten haag as the dutchman has no respect for him. man united say they are working on establishing the full facts, and theirfocus remains on preparing for the rest of the season. the full interview with ronaldo will be played out on wednesday
