Diamonds alongside me, here we go again Diamond, the roller coaster ride begins. Here we go Daz, Wigan this afternoon, got one of the first warm-up games at home anyway. So we've got three games this week coming up, so plenty to watch for the Evertonians out there. Can I tell you something again today that we've got two games, one at Wigan, one at Tramia, and the manager's gone to the Tramia game to run the entire game. Yeah, he's overlooking the game at Tramia, surely Daz. Interesting, so Steve Stone and Ian One will take charge of the Lads here this afternoon at Wigan. I used to fall over the ball for fun pre-season, I must admit. So I can't deny I was dreadful. You've got better run of old February, March, didn't you?


Not early. Good on him. Never mind 10 minutes of added time. He's knocked 10 seconds off. Well, I tell you what, I'm glad everyone's applauding, because that was a really enjoyable game of football. Yeah, both sides, great credit to both sides. They put a really good shift in. Both managers, I'm sure, will be delighted in their own ways. Good work for us. Good work out. And everybody's put a real good shift in, about recovering tomorrow back into training Monday, and then we go to Bolton Tuesday night and do it all again.

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction?

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis People are packing up in their cars. They're getting out of here. A few days before I found myself standing there on the edge of Kharkiv, watching those first tank shells hit into the apartment blocks in Saltyvka, my editor, Louis Emmanuel, had asked me to come up with something to be published on the day of the war, if the war began, explaining to readers why this was happening. And I was hoping it would never be published. It was, and the answer I came up with was, probably in the simple balance of power. I quote it, Russia's military is at its strongest and most capable since the Cold War. Its public finances are also in good order, and Mr Putin may believe he is well placed to bear the costs of the conflict and inevitable sanctions. We'll come back to that in a second. The West is conversely at a moment of historic econo...

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired?

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired? I mean, he caveated his remarks so that he wasn't departing from the official government line, which is that Ukraine makes the calls here when Ukraine's ready, then Ukraine may negotiate. But the fact that he, that comment we were taking out of context, and people will say that Rishi Sunak believes that there has to be a negotiation at, so at what point are we going to lean on the Ukrainians to negotiate? And I think that in Kiev, I think it won't be very, they won't welcome the fact that he said it. It's also, it's just not true that all wars end at the negotiating table. It's a line we've heard from the beginning, right from the start. People should read a book occasionally. The Second World War did not end in negotiation. One of yours perhaps. Yes. The First World War did not end in a meaningful negotia...
