if we need it. good forehand. in 2016, i played matches which were well watched by literally millions of people on tv. a few years ago, nobody within our sport would ever dream that would happen. he and fellow brit andy lab form are two of several british players dominating the world rankings. full—time athletes that train and compete alongside the able—bodied gang. athletes that train and compete alongside the able-bodied gang. the sport is continuously growing, maybe not as fast as we would like, but we are getting there. in 20 years' time, it could be the biggest disability sport in the world, bar none. up until rio, the sport had been supported by national lottery and taxpayer money. now the funding that goes towards the elite training programme will be cut. the chief executive of uk sport explained to me why despite the sport's strong medal potential. we know they merit oui’ medal potential. we know they merit our investment. they merit being invested in, but the first question we always ask is, can this sport have access to support from resources from other sources, do

they really need public funding? however, uk sport will still support the athlete until tokyo 2020 through individual performance awards. but some people are still concerned about the effect it will have. we should be building on it and creating more opportunities, inspiring more people, getting ready for 2024 that is the long—term plan. this will sway a lot of people. on court, the sport continues to grow and get more and more exposure on the world stage with players like novak djokovic being big supporters of the game. and the trophies, medals and silverware keep multiplying at least for this generation of british players. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the the deputy political editorfor the guardian, rowena mason, and christopher hope, the assistant editor and chief political correspondent at the daily telegraph. good to see you both. tomorrow's front pages, starting with the meeting between theresa may and nicola sturgeon makes the front page of the i. tt says the pair's talks on brexit ended in stalemate. the ft leads on tesco's bid to buy food wholesalers booker, but also finds room on the front page for the failure to find

a solution to northern ireland's political deadlock. the express carries a claim from the former government minister iain duncan smith that the eu owes the uk billions of pounds. and mr duncan smith also makes the front page of the telegraph. he's one of a group of politicians and business leaders calling on the government to sweep away european red tape once we leave the eu. the words of the mother of the westminster terrorist khalid masood are highlighted by the metro, she says she's shocked, saddened and numbed by her son's actions. the mail leads with details of a cost—cutting plan for the nhs; it also seems to think the legs of the prime minister and scottish first minister are worth highlighting. the guardian has pro—eu conservatives urging theresa may to concentrate on securing a good post—brexit trade deal for the uk rather than the size of the bill for leaving the eu. while the mirror leads with more on last week's terror attack in london, including the speed it's thought khalid masood drove on his murderous rampage along westminster bridge.

let's begin. we start with the i. this is the meeting between nicola sturgeon and theresa may, fixed smiles on the front page there. i am not sure if those are genuine smiles. they are both managing to crack a smile, even though their positions are a long way apart at the moment. nicola sturgeon saying that theresa may hasn't listened to her at all when she's trying to tell her at all when she's trying to tell her that scotland wants to stay in the eu. if not, stay in the single market. because theresa may hasn't listened to her, she says she will have another independence referendum. theresa may on the other side is saying that now is not the time for that. there's very little overla p time for that. there's very little overlap between their two positions at the moment. christopher, what are

the chances of both sides getting anywhere closer during the next 18 months? there's a chance, because as things stand, nothing has really changed. this is for the cameras. she is getting around the regions, or nations of the country, before wednesday when she triggers article 50. shaking hands with nicola sturgeon in the crowne plaza hotel in glasgow, rather unprepossessing utilitarian venue. that maybe describes why are there. not particularly glamorous, i suppose. but the daily mail, let's go to that, they have found the glamour in the situation. christopher, never mind brexit, who won legsit. the situation. christopher, never mind brexit, who won legsitm

the situation. christopher, never mind brexit, who won legsit. it is the daily mail. they make the point that they are women in skirts and their legs are showing. that's a per —— profound point. their legs are showing. that's a per -- profound point. it is unnecessary. you wouldn't compare david cameron's trousers. it looks over the top. it looks a bit 1970s dick ever read, showing lakes. over the top. it looks a bit 1970s dick ever read, showing lakesli think ill it is they will be playing devils advocate, will they be furious given that, at the end of the day, those four good pins? clive! i'm playing devils advocate. pins are allowed. what theresa may

would say is, i hardly noticed it, i am getting on with the job. she says that and has these glamorous shoes. no one is interested in your shoes, christopher. the daily mail is read bya christopher. the daily mail is read by a lot of women in this country. do you think that the general perception is that this is totally unnecessary, why has the daily mail done this? i think it depends on your perspective. some women will find it a little bit sexist to focus on their legs when they have got brexit to be thinking about. other women might think, well, that is the position they happen to be sitting in. all right. what could they have worn? opaque tights, is that what you say? trouser suits? maybe they didn't realise they were going to be photographed from that angle. let's move 110w photographed from that angle. let's move now onto some news. funnily

enough, news... it could be used, the daily express, the eu owes britain billions. is it true? what iain duncan smith is saying is, we keep getting hung up on us paying money to the eu to leave in two years' time come wednesday. what they are saying is that they should be paying us to leave. iain duncan smith has told the express, while we go on about paying them money to this club, they owe us money. why do they owe us money? we pay more into they owe us money? we pay more into the eu budget and we get out every year. right. that is it. ongoing commitments for infrastructure, the other side of europe will say to us, thatis other side of europe will say to us, that is why we think you owe us money. it is access to the single market and access to the customs union. if we leave both, we should be paying extra money into that. it

isa be paying extra money into that. it is a congregated matrix of different money flying around, isn't it? ids, to his credit, is trying to address it on the front page of the express. there are liabilities that the uk has two pensions, or workers, bureaucrats or whatever it is, the operators of the european union. there are obligations that we have, surely that can be offset with whatever iain duncan smith reckons they owe us? it could be zero. it could be a balanced number... all the talk or 50 billion in the last few weeks has been nonsense? or is this fake news? it appends on your perspective. if you are a die—hard brexiteer, and you think the eu has been robbing us for years and years and you wonder why we should pay them anything at all. if you are on them anything at all. if you are on the other side, and maybe you are an official in brussels, you think the

uk hasa official in brussels, you think the uk has a lot of liabilities that still haven't been wound up and it needs to settle its debt. nick clegg was saying it was like we had an am a bar bill with the eu, that is what he said this evening on question times and is mac. does this take into account the final numbers of the european union? eu have said they hope us. he is trying to say, looking at one side of the balance sheet, and not the other. ok, rowena, whatever the right and wrong is of this fiscal issue, hope is, according to some within the conservative party, that this issue is sorted out quickly and fast, because then we can get on to the nitty—gritty of what brexit really does mean. i think so. what some of these tory moderate rebels, the people fighting within the

conservative party to stay in the single market are saying is, if the eu might be better disposed towards us eu might be better disposed towards us when it comes to negotiating a train real, if we have conceded a bit of it on the divorce bill, so there is a price on everything, we wa nt there is a price on everything, we want a good deal out of the eu. we might need to pay a little bit to get it. the two think not meant to be tied they probably will be. get it. the two think not meant to be tied they probably will hem will come down... david davis on question time said it could be zero. it could be zero. but once that is out of the way, christopher, we can get into the meat of what this is really about. that is right. europeans have made it clear this bill needs to be sorted first. europeans have made it clear this bill needs to be sorted firstm europeans have made it clear this bill needs to be sorted first. it is all leading to whether we have access to the supermarket, free movement of moving into the country, it is tied together by the number at the beginning. a big day on wednesday. huge. momentous. are you

working on wednesday?” wednesday. huge. momentous. are you working on wednesday? i don't know what i am going to be doing on wednesday. who knows where i will be! a letter delivered to the european council president. ok, let's move on to the telegraph. red tape, mr duncan smith again, figuring a lot in these papers. top of the page there, christopher. the suggestion that the great reform bill will involve, what, 19,000 eu rules and regulations that will come onto our statute books. 600 wrecked its governance country, and that, 90,000 rules and regulations, which we will try to lift across this reform bill on thursday after the letter is delivered on wednesday. the idea is, they are moved lock, stock and barrel into british law. after that, campaigners say that the tories should say the next election, we get rid of the ones that are pointless and superfluous, and hold

back business. that is the idea of a campaign. it is a good idea, trying to shape and look beyond exit and shape how might things progress. there will be a battle if there are some things that the government wa nts to some things that the government wants to get off the statute books. this is going to be a really huge issue in the coming years. it will bea issue in the coming years. it will be a big battle with the labour movement trade unions who want to preserve things like health and safety legislation, environment and a decision, as well as workers' rights that the government has set. it will protect listing workers' rights, but there will be conservative backbenchers that will wa nt to conservative backbenchers that will want to in pic —— unpick some of these things. i think chris has an example. newts. it is a big issue. what do you mean? they are protected

in this country, and there are more newts here than in other parts of europe. newts and road—building is a big issue. i europe. newts and road—building is a big issue. lam putting it out there! it has got to be interesting. terra killer ‘s mother, i weep for the victims. the mother of this man, khalid masood, who went on a rampage last week. christopher, you were at the commons at the time, and members of his family have spoken now. the commons at the time, and members of his family have spoken nowm the commons at the time, and members of his family have spoken now. it is back to normal at the house of commons, but they moved the gates near to where the attack took place. it has really shocked the country. personally, i feel sorry for her, for janet personally, i feel sorry for her, forjanet ojoa. personally, i feel sorry for her, for janet ojoa. it personally, i feel sorry for her, forjanet ojoa. it was brave for her to speak up this way. rowena, is

there a sense that have gotten back to normal? people carry on their daily business, the house of lords and house of commons business is carrying on as before. but people are still sad and traumatised by what has happened there. it is incredibly grim and sad for all affected. we saw people die outside my office window. there were bodies therefore many hours stop its unbelievable, not what you expect. others went through to try and save lives, and it was worse on the bridge, but it is a difficult time. absolutely. finally, to end this edition of the papers, the daily telegraph, rowena, calling time on his london cap. it says that the duke of edinburgh has used a green metro cap for 18 years to travel incognito around london, but now he

has called time on it. he has given it up. he has given it to the sandringham museum. he got in the back of a greens taxi, didn't talk to anyone, just got a view of what london was like. without having anyone looking at him. how many of us anyone looking at him. how many of us look at a full taxi, we look for empty taxis. clever. very clever. rowena and christopher, good to have you. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you, seven days a week, at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, chris and rowena. next, it's the weather with john hammond. many of us ended up having a fine

day today. the majority of us will see reasonable weather again tomorrow. red sky at night, shepherds delight, as they say, hence my optimism. spare a thought for our cousins down underwear severe tropical cyclone debbie will make landfall. although it will no longer be a cyclone as it heads towards brisbane later in the week, major impact is expected. we will keep a close eye on cyclone debbie. much more tranquil back home over the next few days, dry at the moment. there will be some cloud pushing in from the east, misty miss, too. bar the odd shower across the far south—west in the morning, it will stay dry. chilly as we have seenin it will stay dry. chilly as we have seen in recent nights, temperatures falling away the frost in the western highlands of scotland. more cloud in the sky here tomorrow.

there will be some sunshine around, particularly across south—eastern areas. shower was pushing across ireland in the direction of south—west scotland. a lot of cloud, cooler than it has been recently in many parts of scotland. showers in northern ireland, and the odd sharp shower pressing across wales and south—west england. brightness to end the day across south wales and south—west england. as we head into the evening, it will turn down again. the next weatherfront pushing in, damp and dreary weather extending into main northern and western parts. by wednesday, heavy rain in the north—western areas with a fresh breeze. not nice here on wednesday, a lot of cloud but staying dry, mild again, the east coast of scotland will be chilly.

further fronts push in coast of scotland will be chilly. furtherfronts push in off coast of scotland will be chilly. further fronts push in off the atlantic, affecting north—western pa rt atlantic, affecting north—western part of the uk, rain here. south and east, dragging in warm airfor a time on thursday, watch how the map turns orange across east anglia and the south—east. somebody somewhere here could be knocking on the door of 20 degrees. further north, more cloud and breeze, with rain around as well. this is bbc news. i'm clive myrie. the headlines at 11pm: police investigating wednesday's attack in westminster say they've found no evidence that khalid masood had any link with so—called islamic state. i would more describe him as someone who has been exploited, a man who is clearly a lone actor who has come up from the basement so to speak to commit a murderous and cowardly attack. with only two days to go before the brexit process is triggered, nicola sturgeon and theresa may hold their first face—to—face talks since the demand for a new independence referendum.

political parties in northern ireland have been given more time to try to form a power—sharing government after failing to meet today's deadline. and on newsnight, we have the uk television exclusive with rachel dollars out, the black activist who turned out to be white.
