indeed. andy murray has been knocked out of the indian wells tournament in california at the second round — it's often seen as the 5th grand slam. the world number one lost to canadian qualifier vasek pospisil in straight sets. our tennis correspondent russell fuller was watching. last year, andy murray lost his second match here and this was another big surprise, murray falling at the first hurdle against asset pospisil. he might be 129th in the world and a qualifier, but he is much better than that ranking suggests, as carl edwards and dan edmond found out when he beat them in the davis cup at the start of last month. his serve volley game very, very effective. he break murray's serve four times in a row. murray's serve four times in a row. murray also threw in four double faults. he took victory 6—4, 7—6.
9:32 am
andy murray's world number one ranking not remotely under threat, but real frustration for him having won his first title of the year only a week ago. england head coach eddiejones says his team have the chance to "achieve greatness", after their 61 points to 21 victory against scotland at twickenham. it was a result that clinched the six nations title and equalled new zealand's record of 18 consecutive victories. a win in their last match against ireland would see them become the only team to clinch back—to—back grand slams since the competition began. joe wilson reports. jj — two letters, two legs, too much for scotland. jonathanjoseph started the game, and he was england's finisher. jonathanjoseph, flying to the line. pace and angle, attacking, running. it's been the essence of rugby ever since somebody picked up a ball. england now have a team to match any in its history, at least statistically. a hat—trick forjonathan joseph. by the timejoseph completed his hat—trick early in the second half, the game was settled.

scotland persevered, hampered by early indiscipline and injuries, but as they made clear, they were not here to be plucky losers. their recent performances have merited more than that. on this day, everything clicked for england. four tries gets you a bonus point. seven makes a serious impression. so the six nations won, and eddie jones‘ england is still unbeaten. we have got good players. they now have a mindset of wanting to be the best in the world. they want to keep improving. and if we keep with that mindset, keep working hard, we will be the best in the world. the memory of this match will linger long after the sponsors‘ logo is removed from the twickenham pitch. the calcutta cup is a legacy of history. eddie jones and england are looking to the future, and notjust to dublin next weekend. his project is building towards the next world cup. and he likes trophies. in yesterday's other game,

france ran in four tries against italy to seal a bonus point victory by a0 points to 18 in rome. italy had gone in front through sergio parisse‘s try early on, but they now look destined once again for the wooden spoon. england's women have set up a grand slam decider with ireland next week after thrashing scotland 64 points to 0. winger kay wilson set a new six nations record with seven tries during the game as england maintained their 100 per cent record for this year's competition. ireland also maintained their perfect run of results, beating wales by 12 points to seven at cardiff arms park thanks to hannah tyrrell‘s winning try. leicester are through to the final of the anglo—welsh cup after beating saracens by 32 points to 10. the tigers ran in four tries at allianz park, the pick of which was this effort from freddie burns 12 minutes from the end. leicester will face exeter

or harlequins who play the other semi—final this afternoon. the final takes place at the stoop on saturday. ulster ran in ten tries to beat bottom club zebre in the pro 12. the 68—21 win gives them a bonus point and takes them above scarlets into fourth in the table. non—league side lincoln city's remarkable run in the fa cup is over. they were beaten 5—0 by arsenal who progress to the semi—finals. lincoln were the first non—league side to reach this stage of the competition for over a century. and joining arsenal in the last four are manchester city, who won 2—0 at middlesbrough. tim hague reports. that fa cup run of 2016—17 finally at an end for non—league lincoln city, with history and multiple memories made. more came at arsenal. in fact, the underdogs could have gone ahead against the 12—time winners. what a chance that was. but despite losing five of their last seven games, the hosts had so much quality, and it eventually showed. commentator: theo walcott!
9:36 am
arsenal have the lead on the stroke of half—time. relief for some, disappointment for others. it was not too surprising, really. 87 places separated the sides, and we saw it in the second half. 0livier giroud made it 2—0 before an own goal and then something special from sanchez wrapping the game up. alexis sanchez, brilliantly placed! while they got five in the end, given what lincoln have done, it didn't really matter. they have changed history. there is a reason why no non—league team in the last 100 years have been able to reach the last eight of the fa cup, and the fact that they have, that should make them mightily proud. of course we are disappointed we lost. but when we are able to draw breath, we will be pretty proud of what we have achieved in this fa cup. and pep guardiola can be proud of manchester city's fa cup run as well. they have been away in every round, beating middlesbrough 2—0, away of course, yesterday.

it's the old firm clash at midday today and new rangers manager pedro caixinha will be watching from the stands. brendan rodgers's celtic will re—establish a 27 point lead at the top with victory as they close in on yet another title. it's a real intense affair. the supporters are very passionate and of course the celtic part game was a great start, it being the first one for us. if we can play to that level and play to how we have been for most of the season, then we hope that can get us a result. second placed aberdeen beat motherwell yesterday and fourth placed hearts narrowed the gap on third place rangers to five points with a 4—0 thrashing of hamilton academical. there were also wins for kilmarnock and stjohnstone. partick drew with inverness. elise christie has become the first british woman to win a title at the world short track speed skating championships. christie claimed gold in the 1500 metres, finishing just ahead of her nearest rival.

9:40 am
editor at the sun on sunday, and journalist yasmin alibhai brown. the observer says theresa may is under fire by mps who fear she has no back—up plan if the uk fails to get a trade deal with the eu. the mail on sunday also leads on the prime minister's impending plan to trigger article 50 — it says she'll fire the starting gun on tuesday. the sunday telegraph's top story is what it calls a war in the cabinet over the budget — with ministers reportedly furious at the chancellor for not warning them that he was planning to break a manifesto promise with a rise in national insurance for self—employed workers. the front page of the sunday times has rugby hero danny care flying through the air as he scores in england's victory against scotland in the rugby six nations. and the sunday express reports on a potential new lead in the hunt for madeleine mccann. the paper says police have been given extra funding to follow it up. right, so let's begin and we are
9:41 am
going to start with the mail on sunday and brexit has got all the headlines. a dereliction of duty if there is not a plan. it is all brexit, brexit. this story is about the house of commons health select committee report, chaired by a conservative, who have put out a report that there is no plan b for brexit. in other words, what do we do if there is no deal? the prime minister has said she is prepared to walk away if there is no deal. she has used the phrase no deal is better than a bad dill. there are reasonable point is what contingency planning have you done about this? they say there has been no contingency planning as far as evidence suggests and they say that isa evidence suggests and they say that is a dereliction of duty if you were not to plan for the worst—case scenario and they are recommending, this all—party committee, that every
9:42 am
department in government should be looking at contingency plans in case we go over a cliff edge. what we do about northern ireland with the borders? what do we do about trade? the trade being it exactly right. workforces, but andre said this year it would take them ten years to get a workforce that was entirely british and one out of 50 applications came from a british person. these are things which are really going to hit straightaway, aren't they? —— a sandwich shop said this week. even looking at copyright for music, written pieces, and tangling all of that is really difficult. i think that brings home how many things there are. also, this arrogance. we can't decide this deal. this is a deal which will have to be agreed with all the nations in the eu and they have oversimplified
9:43 am
everything here for the people of this country. the deal has to be made would the agreement of other people. and getting that amount of agreement could be difficult? the difficulty here, i can see the government's side and also the all—party group's perspective as well. if you go to buy a car, you never show your hand when you are negotiating. we don't know what theresa may's is and where she will go. she needs to be prepared to walk out. if you are buying something and wa nt to out. if you are buying something and want to drive a hard bargain, you need to drive a hard bargain. should we know these publicly already? yes, or at least the mps should. parliamentarians are there to make sure that whatever happens, whether it is internally, with foreign affairs or with this deal, that what
9:44 am
happened makes sense in the long—term. there has been such an emotional rise long—term pro and against brexit that i think good sense is very difficult to bring back to the table. let's move the times and this is the headline, may‘s eu payback. times and this is the headline, may's eu payback. this is more of the nitty—gritty of the negotiations. theresa may is saying that brussels should hand back £9 billion worth of british assets which are held by the european union bank. this to me sounds like another bargaining chip. she is saying, we have got this and the european union are saying you have to keep paying until 2020, and if they say that, she will say, we want this back. this is all to do with jockeying and positioning when we come to a deal. it's going to get really interesting. she has fired an opening salvo. i think she wants to
9:45 am
be, she is modelling herself on margaret thatcher. margaret thatcher got back this rebate and the picture —— the people cheered. i think she's subconsciously modelling herself on national memory up to a point. it's a bit of pr as well. she comes over a bit of pr as well. she comes over a bit of pr as well. she comes over a bit as shy vicar‘s daughter. a bit of pr as well. she comes over a bit as shy vicar's daughter. what? she is not a shy person. she is arrogant! people i spoke to when she worked at the home office, they say what a tough cookie she is. she doesn't take any messing. if people get things wrong, their beat don't touch the ground. she will be a formidable negotiator. david davis is talking about the brexit rebels, isn't he? the times -- timetable this week is that tomorrow, the two amendments from the lords go back to the comments, they will be shoved back to the lords, then if it gets
9:46 am
put through, they will get royal assent and theresa may could be triggering article 50 by tuesday. she probably won't do it on wednesday because there are the dutch elections. do you have secret information? no, we have all tried to find that out because knowing what day she will trigger it would bea what day she will trigger it would be a great sunday paper story but downing street are not telling us. a lot of people have used the phrase, as early as tuesday. do you reckon it will definitely come this week? it could be tuesday or thursday. it is the dutch elections on wednesday and she has a speech on friday. she has got to get royal assent, so tuesday could be early. what about this report? would she not pay any attention? she responded last night saying that they have got
9:47 am
contingency plans, she does not telling anyone what they are. now, a cabinet war over the budget? there isa cabinet war over the budget? there is a lot of bad feeling because this is a lot of bad feeling because this is felt by a lot of tories to be a very un—conservative thing to do, putting up taxes, particularly for those striving. i think they're well have to be a rethink. something very slow and it will be kicked away. i don't think they will go ahead with this. the more important things in the budget are being ignored. creating a whole education system which is completely going to divide out as —— our children into fragments, sections of society, is the more worrying thing and there has been no comment on that. the national insurance contributions of course have taken the headlines. the tories are saying that the election pledge was actually bore people who we re pledge was actually bore people who were employees and not the self—employed. were employees and not the self-employed. well, a bit of rowing
9:48 am
back on this. what happened effectively is that philip hammond, the chancellor, outlined the plan is to be cabinet on wednesday morning, hours before he delivered the budget and his people are saying, we did not hear a peep from any of the cabinet group or the prime minister. then all hell breaks loose quantities delivered it. but they are saying, what good we do at this late stage? they are also saying, he didn't make clear it was a manifesto pledge. you do wonder why the cabinet didn't know what was in the ma nifesto. cabinet didn't know what was in the manifesto. exactly. and remember, the tuition fees. the lib dems were unforgiving because of that failure. this is a very fundamental thing. white van man, as we call it in the sun, these are the grafters, these drivers. me! i was sun, these are the grafters, these drivers. me! iwas reading sun, these are the grafters, these drivers. me! i was reading at being in the week about start—ups and the
9:49 am
higher percentage at the moment is women with start—ups. higher percentage at the moment is women with start-ups. we also don't get the benefits because they are saying they are trying to make it fair because paye employees pay a certain amount, but you don't get the holiday, sickness pay, maternity p5y~ the holiday, sickness pay, maternity pay. well, you get maternity allowa nce pay. well, you get maternity allowance because of europe. but it's a very unfair comparison, it seems to me. just a quickie, yes or no public view, will this the party? yes, it's his first budget. remember he pointed out norman lamont was gone a few weeks afterwards. newman —— we heard from norman lamont yesterday and he said this was a huge mistake. i think so too. it's an unforced error. now, prince philip. | an unforced error. now, prince philip. i love this story. prince philip. i love this story. prince philip meets prince —— meets philip hammond. the papers have been having
9:50 am
fun. yes, philip goes up and he is never one to miss sticking his oar in. he pulled his leg, a bit of joshing about the budget. we don't know what he said but we can probably guess. there is a rather funny caption in there. yes, it says, you will never find yourself a plumber now. we were all trying to work out what was said but they were keeping tight—lipped about what was said between these two phillips. keeping tight—lipped about what was said between these two phillipslj suppose said between these two phillips.” suppose one good thing is that they are all laughing. that is quite good. moving along, a russian cyber threat in the times. what is this one about? we have heard recently with the us presidential elections that the russians were involved in hacking into the campaign and maybe even swaying it. and there has been
9:51 am
a conference call by gchq cheats, these by leaders that are listening as opposed in cheltenham, to discuss the real and present threat of russians hacking political databases during the next general election and actually influencing the result. there is a guy called kieran martin, chief executive of the national cyber security centre, who will be warning that it poses a threat to the democratic process in this country. it seems to be something thatis country. it seems to be something that is spreading and worldwide? country. it seems to be something that is spreading and worldwide7m is and! that is spreading and worldwide7m is and i don't think it'sjust russia. there is a lot of hacking going on. a kind of the world in which we think we have early element of privacy —— any element of properzi and we don't. everything from wiki leaks to russia's games, i
9:52 am
think they are weak, and the far right in america, who are very, very rich people. there is a new book about this and western democracies are under severe attack and we should worry very much about it. does this report give us an answer as to what a solution to this might be? no, it says it's about outlining the potential for hostile action and saying what political parties can do to make their systems more robust and how to protect and safeguard everything, but it'sjust and how to protect and safeguard everything, but it's just a case of being one step ahead. it's like terrorism. you have to be one step ahead and as they progress, you progress. it's a very sophisticated area. it's kind of back to the cold war but with more sophisticated technology online. let's have a look at the observer and this is an interesting story about how finland deals with homelessness. yes, they
9:53 am
have a system in finland called housing first. what they do is rough sleepers are sent into accommodation, they are given accommodation. the government do deals with housing companies and they move them in without any of the restrictions that people have when they try to get on the housing ladder. sometimes people who are rough sleeping have mental health issues, drug issues, alcohol issues, and their lives are rock bottom and they don't have the necessary paperwork to get housing. they shot them into this housing, get them treatment and it has dramatically reduced rough sleeping in finland as a result. the centre forjustice has done a very thoughtful report on this and says it would cost £101 million a year but the money would be recouped after three years and sabbirjaved is so impressed by
9:54 am
this, he is going to go to finland to have a look at this and is considering doing this in britain. it has become a huge problem in britain. everywhere. i saw it has become a huge problem in britain. everywhere. isawa it has become a huge problem in britain. everywhere. i saw a couple sleeping on the streets not far from here in oxford street and i am very pleased to see the gentle side of the tories emerging, finally, and of course finland has some really brilliant ideas. i think finland has this national income that they give everybody. is that right? yes. and they have found extraordinary benefits coming from that. it's a whole different way of looking at it, isn't it? i have never known the tories to go to a scandinavian country so it's a very good thing.” wa nt to country so it's a very good thing.” want to pop to be mirror and paul burrell now. what is he up to? what would we do without him. he is coming up with more and more
9:55 am
allegations about what the queen told him and these strange goings—on ona told him and these strange goings—on on a yacht. they love him in america because he's like a living soap opera and they love the family. he gives them all this stuff. and the thing here is that the queen told him to find a woman, because of course he came out, paul burrell, a view years back. but it'sjust fun to read. at these times we need fa nta sy. to read. at these times we need fantasy. he was in a view stories this week, wasn't he? he said diana talks to him at night. yes, i think he has a book coming out. he was never off the front pages if you yea rs never off the front pages if you years ago. diana famously described him as her rock. and he doesn't age. how? maybe he will tell us in the next instalment. that's it for the papers.
9:56 am
thanks to our guests today — dave wooding, political editor at the sun on sunday, and journalist yasmin alibhai brown. just a reminder we take a look at tomorrow's front pages every evening at 10.40 here on bbc news. bye— bye bye—bye finau. —— for now. hello. it's a pretty messy weather story across the country today but one thing that's for certain if it went to be as warm as yesterday. it was the warmest day of the year so far in northern ireland at 16 degrees and also a high at 18 degrees and also a high at 18 degrees in the south corner of england. a lot of clout in between the two and that weather front has brought some rain over the last few hours with heavy persistent rain across the south. there are two weather fronts making their way across the country and that is why we have this messy picture, with some rain easing, some brightness,
9:57 am
and then more rain to come. one weather front is easing away and another will die off as it makes its way in. a different story across east anglia and into east yorkshire. behind it, we should see a window of fine weather. by the middle of the afternoon, we will see showery outbreaks of rain lingering across the south—east and nowhere near as warm as yesterday. 12 or 13 degrees. this fine, brighter weather behind, before the next frontal system moves through. this will not bring as much rain. showery rain pushing in across north—west england and north—west wales particularly. not a bad afternoon in prospect for scotland and northern ireland. not as warm as yesterday with highs around 11 or 12 degrees. as we go through the night, the rain from those fronts will either way and skies will clear. after a couple of very mild nights,
9:58 am
that could be a shock to the system first thing on monday. it will be a chilly start and in rural nights, we could see temperatures close to freezing, with a touch of frost, so gardeners and growers take note. but, we have this ridge of high pressure in which keeps the quiet theme going into monday with a good deal of dry weatherfor theme going into monday with a good deal of dry weather for monday. temperatures will respond and highs of around 16 degrees possible. tuesday into wednesday looks predominantly cloudy. there will be bits and pieces of nuisance rain but largely dry. that's it. enjoy. this is bbc news. the headlines at ten. senior mps issue a warning on brexit talks — they've told the government it would be a serious "dereliction of duty" if it fails to prepare for a breakdown in negotiations with the eu. meanwhile, the brexit secretary
9:59 am
tells mps to ditch changes to the brexit bill voted on by the house of lords. what we can't have is either house of parliament reversing the decision of parliament reversing the decision of the british people. dutch riot police use water cannon to break up a large protest outside the turkish consulate in rotterdam amid a deepening diplomatic row. a bbc investigation finds taxi drivers still on the road despite being banned, prompting calls for the creation of a central database. also in the next hour — a shock defeat for andy murray at indian wells.
