:00:00. > :00:00.The Guard, Calvary, a dark comedy about threats to murder a priest in

:00:00. > :00:19.Ireland, plus the other top releases in The Film Review at quarter to

:00:20. > :00:26.midnight on BBC News. So much going on. Hello and welcome to our look

:00:27. > :00:29.ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are

:00:30. > :00:32.the broadcaster, Penny Smith and the political journalist, Sean Dilley.

:00:33. > :00:34.Tomorrow's front pages. The Independent leads on the volatile

:00:35. > :00:36.situation in Ukraine, saying the country's future is hanging in the

:00:37. > :00:43.balance. situation in Ukraine, saying the

:00:44. > :00:46.country's The Financial Times carries a photo of Wilson Kipsang

:00:47. > :00:49.crossing the finishing line at the London Marathon, but its main story

:00:50. > :00:52.says that almost a billion people are at risk of slipping out of the

:00:53. > :00:59.ranks of the middle classes in the developing world. Mo Farrah makes an

:01:00. > :01:02.appearance on the front page of the Telegraph, but the paper leads on a

:01:03. > :01:04.report by MPs calling for a revolution in public administration.

:01:05. > :01:07.The Guardian shows Liverpool players celebrating their victory over Man

:01:08. > :01:12.City, but leads on Ukraine, saying Russia is warning the country could

:01:13. > :01:16.face a civil war. Ukraine also on the front page of the Times, here

:01:17. > :01:23.the focus is on the country's deployment of troops to drive out

:01:24. > :01:27.suspected Russian soldiers. And there's a picture of the Duchess of

:01:28. > :01:30.Cambridge enjoying a glass of wine ` some say to dispel rumours she's

:01:31. > :01:33.pregnant. Kate and William also pictured on the Daily Mail. But the

:01:34. > :01:36.main article says alleged victims of the deceased former MP for Rochdale

:01:37. > :01:39.Cyril Smith may sue the Liberal Democrats if it can be shown that

:01:40. > :01:42.they knew about the alleged abuse and failed to try to stop him. The

:01:43. > :01:46.Express says researchers have found proof that statins can reduce the

:01:47. > :01:49.risk of dementia by a quarter. The photo is of the Prime Minister and

:01:50. > :01:52.his wife on holiday in Lanzarote. And a grizzly note to end on: The

:01:53. > :01:54.Mirror pictures a two`foot`long rat, and says the creatures are

:01:55. > :02:16.threatening to overrun Britain's cities. Nice. I know. Yes. I once

:02:17. > :02:21.stayed in a room in Hong Kong when I was working there, and to make

:02:22. > :02:26.enormous rats used to sit in the bath drinking from the tap in the

:02:27. > :02:28.middle of the night. You had to make a lot of noise when you went in so

:02:29. > :02:30.they let out the window. a lot of noise when you went in so

:02:31. > :02:36.they let At least you don't see them. You have to be careful,

:02:37. > :02:45.because some rats go up through the toilet. Do they? Thank you. I

:02:46. > :02:49.managed to survive intact. Shall we talk about the papers? The

:02:50. > :02:56.Independent. We will start with that. A photo of pro`Russian forces

:02:57. > :03:02.seizing a building in eastern Ukraine. You can see that they are

:03:03. > :03:11.in uniform without insignia. They have AK`47 rifles. According to our

:03:12. > :03:17.correspondence, they are very well trained `` correspondents. Russia

:03:18. > :03:27.denies involvement. It's in a Russian area, and you wonder if

:03:28. > :03:32.those demonstrators marks ago, `` months ago demonstrating to be

:03:33. > :03:49.allied with the West, whether here they are. They didn't want to have

:03:50. > :03:54.their government joining Europe. Huge parts are becoming even more

:03:55. > :03:58.pro`Russian. We were talking about this in the newsroom. I was pointing

:03:59. > :04:06.out that it should be remembered, and believe me, I am not a friend of

:04:07. > :04:10.Vladimir Putin, but in terms of people who voted in the referendum,

:04:11. > :04:14.although we don't recognise internationally, there are strong

:04:15. > :04:21.feelings towards Russia there. The fact people protest doesn't mean it

:04:22. > :04:24.is not a vocal minority. I'm not suggesting that. We don't even know

:04:25. > :04:30.if these militants are even representing the views of local

:04:31. > :04:34.people in that town. Most of whom are hiding in their homes. Fears

:04:35. > :04:42.rise of a second Crimea, according to the Guardian. Again, Russia,

:04:43. > :04:48.tonight on state television said they had nothing to do with it. They

:04:49. > :04:54.called for a UN emergency meeting. You think this is a clever game if

:04:55. > :04:58.they are behind this? It is difficult to know what is going on.

:04:59. > :05:04.Particularly, if you ask somebody and they are saying it wasn't me,

:05:05. > :05:09.where do you go forward from that? It is difficult to see what will

:05:10. > :05:15.happen, particularly with the West saying essentially that if you don't

:05:16. > :05:22.pull back from the brink, we will do more. There will be consequences. As

:05:23. > :05:27.we heard from your correspondent, the iron curtain is slowly coming

:05:28. > :05:38.back up again. Or Mac it is a slow chill down to a Cold War `` it is a

:05:39. > :05:43.slow chill down to a Cold War. Some of the rhetoric about consequences,

:05:44. > :05:50.that's fine. It sounds like a smaller person shouting at a great

:05:51. > :05:55.big person that they will smack him. As I said earlier, Russia is one of

:05:56. > :06:02.these silly countries that digs they need a large standing army. ``

:06:03. > :06:06.thinks they need a large standing army. So whether something can be

:06:07. > :06:13.done remains to be seen. On the bottom of the front page of the

:06:14. > :06:17.Guardian, politics closer to home. The organisers of the Glasgow

:06:18. > :06:23.Commonwealth Games were planning to dynamite five locks of flats as part

:06:24. > :06:31.of the Opening Ceremony. They have decided against it `` five block. As

:06:32. > :06:41.you do. They had nothing to regenerate. What can we blow up?

:06:42. > :06:46.Nothing. Not Westfield, whatever you do. It has been withdrawn, not

:06:47. > :06:51.because it is a sensible decision, but more because of health and

:06:52. > :06:59.safety. Excellent quoting of the health and safety. It is so quoted,

:07:00. > :07:03.health and safety is a very sensible thing. Not because of its over

:07:04. > :07:07.interpretation, you hear it and you imagine a bloke in a boiler suit

:07:08. > :07:21.being slightly pedantic about whether the pool is to nip the two

:07:22. > :07:25.swim in. `` nippy. On to the Financial Times. The story has been

:07:26. > :07:37.here all year. More news by George Osborne to give the taxpayer more

:07:38. > :07:45.powers `` Taxman more powers to collect money. Part of the

:07:46. > :07:54.controversial proposals is that you can dig into people bank accounts if

:07:55. > :07:59.you feel money is owed. It may cross the line in terms of civil

:08:00. > :08:04.liberties. The other concern is the idea of sending people to prison if

:08:05. > :08:11.they invest money abroad. Whether they know it or not. It flies in the

:08:12. > :08:22.face of guilty knowledge and guilty intent, or mens rea. Is it just me,

:08:23. > :08:36.or when you hear about dipping in, you imagine a local fair, where you

:08:37. > :08:45.put money in and get a cuddly toy. The Duchess of Cambridge. Bathed in

:08:46. > :08:56.sunlight with a large glass of red. Doesn't that look nice at this

:08:57. > :09:02.time. It is speculated it was to settle rumours she is pregnant. She

:09:03. > :09:14.needs to have a word with her husband about idle chat. He does it

:09:15. > :09:23.on purpose. He does. Wouldn't you? I need to buy her a bigger jersey. Is

:09:24. > :09:30.she pregnant? No, she's just putting on the pounds. I've been out of the

:09:31. > :09:37.country, our of Wi`Fi contact. I had to have a crash course on what has

:09:38. > :09:41.been happening. He told me that there were about 17,000 baby

:09:42. > :09:55.pictures. And more to come, I am sure. Let's move on to rats. Big old

:09:56. > :10:01.rats. A plague of giant rats. These are horrible. We heard about them

:10:02. > :10:11.earlier on. Two weeks ago in Birmingham. Here they are popping up

:10:12. > :10:18.again in Liverpool. The problem is they are immune to poison. And look

:10:19. > :10:30.at their horrible tales. These were found in Liverpool `` tails. They

:10:31. > :10:33.eat too much and get fat. The way we have to kill them is apparently

:10:34. > :10:40.through cholesterol. It is horrifying, isn't it? There are

:10:41. > :10:46.always more rats. In London, you are never more than two feet away from a

:10:47. > :10:52.rat. Especially in the House of Commons. Although seriously, there

:10:53. > :10:58.is a vermin problem there. Holidaymaker gets ?2600 bill for

:10:59. > :11:04.downloading a Neil diamond song on her iPhone. I've just come back from

:11:05. > :11:10.Brazil, and I was saying before I went on air saying that I had

:11:11. > :11:16.reached my limit. As you easily can sending e`mails from abroad. That's

:11:17. > :11:27.great, because you realise you have dumped two hole e`mails. `` whole

:11:28. > :11:34.e`mails. A holidaymaker decided to download an album for a friend, and

:11:35. > :11:41.got a huge bill from Orange. The irony is that despite the fact they

:11:42. > :11:44.used the same network in the UK, everyone operates on a system where

:11:45. > :11:50.if you go over your allowance, it you have two purchase a certain

:11:51. > :12:01.amount of data. She got a bit of a bargain. She got the album for 400

:12:02. > :12:05.quid. She thought she was doing it for eight pounds. And she said she

:12:06. > :12:11.doesn't really like Neil diamond. There's something wrong with that, I

:12:12. > :12:22.love Neil diamond. The album she thought was 8.99 pounds. This is the

:12:23. > :12:27.front page of the Daily Telegraph, Mo Farrah has appeared in quite a

:12:28. > :12:33.few front pages. Huge disappointment for him and his supporters. When it

:12:34. > :12:38.comes to the World Cup, don't get behind the England team, or they

:12:39. > :12:46.will not win. If we didn't support them, there might win. Two hours

:12:47. > :12:50.eight minutes, he was eighth in the marathon. Show the man some

:12:51. > :12:57.respect. He did brilliantly. To all of you who did the marathon on. All

:12:58. > :13:07.of those broken people I saw on the Tube today. Was that a marathon

:13:08. > :13:14.thing, or was that something else? And all that money for charity. Many

:13:15. > :13:19.thanks. Thank you for watching. As midnight, as pro` Russian militants

:13:20. > :13:31.seized buildings in Ukraine, we will have the latest on the crisis.

:13:32. > :13:34.Coming up next is the Film Review. .
