9:30 am
hello. this is bbc news with ben brown. the headlines: downing street and the democratic unionist party have both issued statements overnight, making clear that a deal between them for a parliamentary pact has yet to be finalised. borisjohnson has dismissed as tripe newspaper reports that he's preparing a new bid to become prime minister. the former chancellor, george osborne, says her days as pm are numbered. theresa may is a dead woman walking. it's just a theresa may is a dead woman walking. it'sjust a question theresa may is a dead woman walking. it's just a question of how long she will remain on death row. i think we will remain on death row. i think we will know very shortly. in other words, we could easily get to the middle of next week and it all colla pses for middle of next week and it all collapses for her. labour leaderjeremy corbyn says he can "still be prime minister" as he aims to thwart theresa may's attempt to run a minority government. scotland yard has released pictures of the fake suicide belts worn by the london bridge attackers. the officer leading the investigation says it's the first time he's seen the tactic used in the uk. the tv presenter richard hammond
9:31 am
is recovering in hospital after his car crashed and burst into flames while filming in switzerland. coming up in a few minutes, our sunday morning edition of the papers. this morning's reviewers are sunday times foreign editor, peter conradi, and the journalist james rampton. before the papers, sport, and for a full round—up, over to the bbc sport centre. scotla nd scotland were leading 2—1 against england yesterday before harry kane struck late on it and park to snatch a draw. in the end, it was
9:32 am
heartbreak for scotland. from joy to despair, denied a famous and incredible victory by england. the newest instalment of international football's oldest rivalry, one that goes back to 1872, each encounter laced with anticipation. security was increased after recent terror attacks. there was a minute's silence in memory of the victims before kick—off. this was a match scotland had to win, something they had not done at home to england in 32 years and which looked unlikely as the visitors applied the pressure. that pressure told after half—time, alex oxlade—chamberlain came off the bench to make an immediate impact. scotland were bruised but not beaten. they equalised in the closing stages. they were invigorated. the drama was far from over. three minutes later, unbelievably, in almost identical fashion, griffiths did it again, to send his fans and team into dreamland. with three priceless points almost within grasp, the celebrations came to an abrupt
9:33 am
end, as harry kane had the final say, the captain for the game for england. in the end, it is a point gain. before the game, we wanted to win, for sure, but the way the game panned out in the end, scotland scoring two goals late on, four minutes left in stoppage time, to get anything from the game is always a point gained. we come away fairly happy with it, and it puts us in a good position to qualify for the world cup. i should be delighted getting two goals and man of the match, and walking in here with three points, but instead of getting three points, but instead of getting three points, we got one. there was late drama for northern ireland, too — they boosted their chances of reaching the finals when leeds midfielder stuart dallas grabbed the only goal of the game
9:34 am
against azerbaijan in the 92nd minute. they're second in their group, behind world champions germany, and well—placed for a play—off spot. england are in a world cup final today, and it's not often we can say that. they face venezuela for the under—20 title in south korea. it's live on bbc two at 11 o'clock, and senior manager gareth southgate says that makes him very hopeful for the future of the international game. there is a myth that you have to go around the rest of the world to find good players to buy them. if some of ours are given an opportunity to play, they can flourish. we've seen that. some of the ways that the guys in the team have got their chance is random, and they have gone on and proved to play at the highest possible level, so there are other players out there that need the opportunity to play. england's women stepped up their preparations for euro 2017 with a 4—0 win away to switzerland last night. arsenal strikerjodie taylor scoring twice. some lions rugby news for you: captain sam warburton will return to lead the side
9:35 am
against the highlanders in dunedin on tuesday after their win yesterday morning over the crusaders. it was good news all round for the home nations, with wins for england and scotland, too. england's summer tour of argentina began in breath—taking style, eddiejones' side snatching a 38 points to sa victory, denny solomona scoring with his first touch of the ball, on his debut, withjust a minute left on the clock. it's great, the result, but we're disappointed with our performance. we gave them too many points. but what we did show was a tonne of team ethic today. ten young guys came in in a difficult situation, where we are chasing a game, and did theirjob brilliantly, which is fantastic. gregor townsend's reign as scotland coach started with a 34—13 win over italy. ross ford ran in two of the scots' five tries in singapore. they'll face australia next weekend. a magnificent ben stokes' century helped england to victory over australia in the champions trophy. a stunning piece of fielding from
9:36 am
jason roy. a brilliant piece of improvisation on the boundary. england chasing a reduced target, stokes finishing unbeaten on 102, as they won by a0 runs to knock australia out. beating a side like australia in a game where we've nothing to gain is a big step forward for us, because we have been one of the better sides around the world. and if we're being serious about competing in future tournaments, we need to win games of cricket like this. lewis hamilton said being presented with one of ayrton senna's helmets was better than any trophy, he equalled his hero's total of 65 pole positions ahead of the canadian grand prix, clocking the fastest qualifying lap ever seen in montreal. he was then stunned to be handed the helmet sent by senna's family — he said he was shaking at the honour.
9:37 am
the women's french open final was a thriller yesterday with 20—year—old jelena 0stopenko beating simona halep over three sets. the latvian had been a set behind and three love down in the second but produced an incredible comeback. she is the first unseeded woman to win at roland garros since 1933. and let's hope for more of the same today in the men's final this afternoon — rafael nadal going for a tenth french open title against stan wawrinka. you can follow it all on bbc radio 5 live. and maria sharapova has pulled out of wimbledon qualifying — she said her thigh injury wont heal in time for her to make the roehampton tournament. usain bolt said he was the most nervous he had been before a race ever before he ran his final 100 metres on home soil. a sell—out crowd of 30,000 in kingston watched as he won the race. the eight time olympic gold medallist will retire in august after the world championships in london. northern ireland boxer ryan burnett
9:38 am
has won in his hometown of belfast, winning on points to take his belt. he is expected to defend the title before the end of the year. chris froome has an awful lot to do if he's to win a third straight criterium du dauphine. froome's team—mate peter kennaugh won the penultimate stage, with australia's richie porte increasing his overall lead — he's now over a minute ahead of froome. and kataryna niveadoma still leads with one stage to go of the women's tour. australia's sarah roy sprinted to victory in stage four in chesterfield. the race finishes in london today. that's all the sport for now. now, the papers. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
9:39 am
bringing us tomorrow. with me are the sunday times' foreign editor, peter conradi, and the journalist james rampton. tomorrow's front pages: the observer says may's premiership is in peril. the paper leads with its editorial comment saying mrs may is discredited, humiliated, and diminished. it says she is now weak, with rivals and opponents no longerfearing her. the daily mail focusses on the foreign secretary boris johnson saying he is set to launch a bid to become prime minister. it also carries a picture of former top gear presenter richard hammond, who was involved in a car crash during filming in switzerland. the telegraph says theresa may may be in downing street but she has no power after losing her majority in parliament. the paper says senior tories are jostling in an unofficial race to replace her. the sunday times claims as many as five cabinet ministers are urging
9:40 am
borisjohnson to oust theresa may. the express leads with the resignation of theresa may's two closest advisers, nick timothy and fiona hill. its headline refers to them as ‘toxic‘. lets kick—off, peter. have the 0bserver — theresa may's premiership in peril. threat of mp rebellion blocks dup coalition. this has been overta ken blocks dup coalition. this has been overtaken since it went to press, because this is based on the idea that there was definitely going to bea that there was definitely going to be a deal between the tories and the dup. subsequently, despite the government announcing that the yesterday evening, we had the announcement from both sides that there isn't a deal yet. 0ne presumes there isn't a deal yet. 0ne presumes there will be won, but itjust shows just how nobody really knows what is going on at the moment. it looks like there will be a deal, doesn't it? it does. ironically, theresa may
9:41 am
was accusing labour beforehand of having a coalition of chaos, because thatis having a coalition of chaos, because that is the impression she is creating, last night announcing a deal that had not been finalised. that is chaotic. there are voices within the tory party who are very unhappy about this potential deal because of some of the dup's believes. they are opposed to gay marriage, opposed to abortion. nicky morgan, who was the education secretary, says we do not want the price of a deal with the dup to water down our equality policy. it isa water down our equality policy. it is a strong issue. the tories have spent years detoxifying the brand. if they make concessions on those social issues, and ruth davidson has spoken about it as well, it will hasten her inevitable demise. the other headline in the observer is: drop hard brexit plans, demand mps. how will this chaos avec brexit? does it increased the likelihood, in your view, and from europe's point
9:42 am
of view, maybe, base of the brexit? it might. a lot of people... the was that she would be in the pocket of the hard brexit supporters in her party. now she doesn't have a majority, she has to look more widely, to labour and the lib dems, perhaps, and that could have the effect of softening brexit. you have to bear in mind, the dup don't want a hard border between northern ireland and the republic, an important issue for them, so she has to bear that in mind. the scottish conservatives, the same. it could lead to a softer brexit, certainly. lets look, james, at the sunday telegraph. in office, but not in power. fragile leadership. peter mentioned the scottish conservatives under ruth davidson, and she has
9:43 am
obviously talked about an open brexit, hasn't she? which is code for staying in the single market, i believe. she is in a powerful position, having run an excellent campaign, in contrast mrs may's, and she has made this coded reference to softening brexit, and she has also made a coded reference to not making an alliance with dup. she is an out lesbian who is engaged to her partner. if there is any suggestion that the tories would alter their policy on gay marriage, that is a deal—breaker. and she has 13 tory mps in scotland, very surprisingly successful there. if ruth davidson withdrew their support, she is toast. to quote someone else this morning, she is a dead woman walking. that would be strange - you might get the ten dup but then lose the 13 scottish conservatives. we are going to unknown territory, aren't we? we certainly are! it will
9:44 am
keep us all very busy. let's focus on another relevant yesterday, which was that theresa may's two toxic aides, as the sunday express calls them, have resigned, nick timothy and fiona hill. all the papers have carried this analysis, that she had a very close clique going in downing street and a centralised way of working. all prime ministers do, but she seems to have taken it to a further level, really, and i think the role of the advisers has been interesting. it has been something that has been known to political insiders for a long time, and i think gradually, in the last few weeks in the run—up to the election, it has emerged quite a powerful role the two of them have played. in the newspapers, nick timothy has been transformed from this sort of very smart, on this year, brilliant guru into failure and the man behind the defeat. they were the people who
9:45 am
pushed her to have the election in the first place. also, nick timothy was behind the so—called dementia tax, putting that into the manifesto at the last moment without consultation with the cabinet. at the last moment without consultation with the cabinetlj think he is now denying that. years. according to one of the papers, there is a suggestion that philip hammond made that a condition of staying, saying, this is a red line. these to my car to go. the former director of communications at number ten yesterday said there was a toxic atmosphere there, and she accused them of being brutal, which i think is code for something more harsh, and that they were being extremely rude to elected cabinet ministers when they had never stood for election for these positions. and i think that is a legitimate concern, that you have unelected officials wielding too much power, and i think thatis wielding too much power, and i think
9:46 am
that is giving her —— given her breathing space of a couple of days. gavin barwell, who was a minister, lost his seat on thursday and is popular. even though he was wet, he is popular, which means that he can speak human, unlike mrs may, and he can speak to people, which is a great criticism of her. one person they were allegedly route it was the chancellor, philip hammond, and he seems to have emerged empowered from all of this. he may push for a softer brexit. precisely. that was the expectation in the past few weeks, that he would be toast after the election, the way that theresa may would not confirm that he would be there as chancellor. he is probably quite a happy man at the moment. let's look at boris and what all this means for him. we have the mail on sunday saying, boris is set to launch bid to be prime minister
9:47 am
as may clings on. this morning, he has put out that this is tripe. the more he says that, the more convinced i am that he will run. it is like when michael heseltine said he could not foresee circumstances where he would stand against mrs thatcher and then the next week he did. there is also, apparently, an anyone but boris campaign going on. there is a sense that he is flaky and unreliable, those things that michael gove, as he flagrantly stabbed him in the front and back la st stabbed him in the front and back last year... and the site! and the head and everything, he said he was not reliable. those allegations will resurface. certain allegations from the past will come back towards him, i think, and i think there will be a
9:48 am
really tight campaign if it is him against david davis. apparently, amber rudd's majority was too slim, only 300 or so, so she is out of the running. i would only 300 or so, so she is out of the running. iwould not only 300 or so, so she is out of the running. i would not say that boris is on the way to coronation, it is not a done deal because there are people in the party who do not trust them. the conservative party is thinking, we need a leaderfor the future who can take onjeremy corbyn, who did surprisingly well. it isa corbyn, who did surprisingly well. it is a matter of when they get rid of her, really, ratherthan it is a matter of when they get rid of her, really, rather than whether they will. but also, who replaces her. yes, but also the question of how this plays out in the country. no one wants another election. if you get a new leader in, and they don't have an election, again, they might feel they don't have a mandate. let's look at the sunday mirror. they are talking about jeremy corbyn — 13 million voted for us, we'll push all the way. he still believes he could be prime minister,
9:49 am
theoretically at least. believes he could be prime minister, theoretically at leastlj believes he could be prime minister, theoretically at least. i want to eat my hat like paddy ashdown here, because i had been on this programme many times in the past few years saying i thought he was rubbish, a disaster for the labour party and democracy because he had no hope of cutting through, and i hereby apologise to him because he has done brilliantly. i have three daughters, the eldest two of which voted this time, both students, and they have been part of an incredible movement, and their friends have mobilised in and their friends have mobilised in a way they never did in the brexit vote, where only 40% of young people voted. this time, up to 70% of young people voted, and that is because he offered them hope. young people particularly are hard—wired for hope, and that is what the offer than what theresa may signally failed to do. young people voting must be a good thing for a democracy. indeed. if you look at how the share of the vote has gone
9:50 am
up, orthe how the share of the vote has gone up, or the proportion voting has gone up since 2010, it is extraordinary. it must largely be the result of the brexit referendum. a lot of them not bothering to vote then and then seeing what happens... it was billed as the revenge of the young. precisely, ithink so. it also shows you can get quite a lot of votes by promising to drop tuition fees and pay back those that have... tuition fees and pay back those that have. . . and tuition fees and pay back those that have... and also, a good social media campaign. absolutely. and some brilliant memes, if that is the right word. they did lots ofjokey things. to go back to the young people, last year, my middle daughter was abroad in vietnam, but she made a postal vote, and when she did, she said to us, i feel like older people have stolen my future.
9:51 am
young people are saying, we didn't vote last time, we have to make our voices heard, and now they have, and good on them, because theresa may was offering a project via, a cavalcade of despair, and that did not resonate with people —— project fear. a quick look at the sunday times front page. we have already talked about it, but five cabinet ministers urging boris to double theresa may. we do not know who they are. boris, boris, boris and boris! he is wearing a rather flamboyant coat, isn't he? it is maybe a sort of lg bt coat, isn't he? it is maybe a sort of lgbt coat, with those colours, isn't it? he is perhaps appealing for the liberal conservative vote there, but i do think there will be huge civil war going on. the phone
9:52 am
lines will be red—hot, like that time when michael portillo set up a campaign headquarters, installed lots of phones, that sort of thing. the tory party are very good at being ruthless when they think their leader is a dead duck, and theresa may is, and she won't be allowed by the tory party to stand at another election, so there will be blood on the carpet, the walls, the ceiling, everywhere. i think we've got the idea! amazingly, just over a week ago, we had the london bridge attack. such a strange election, with the two terror attacks. hospitals and gp surgeries are told that, for the first time, they could be targeted by terrorists. that, for the first time, they could be targeted by terroristsm that, for the first time, they could be targeted by terrorists. it is appalling. it sounds outlandish and horrific, but it is based on guidance being issued by the police to nhs officials, warning of this worst—case scenario where this might
9:53 am
happen. we have had examples in other countries, such as afghanistan, where there had been raids on hospitals. in afghanistan, they killed 50 people, and the terrorists were dressed as doctors. that was how they sneaked into the hospital. that is an appalling scenario. it is good that hospitals are being warned, but you wonder about the depths to which they will sink. geoff ho of the sunday express was caught up in the attacks and has written about his experience. people we re written about his experience. people were concerned about him on social media, because he was known to have been drinking in the area, as a lot of people work, so lots of concerns about whether he was safe. he was a real hero, and it's an incredible
9:54 am
story. inside the sunday express, a huge spread, really. people are a lwa ys huge spread, really. people are always fascinated to read the eyewitness account of somebody who showed such incredible bravery. he fought back and thank god, he survived. he is an example of what we all hoped we would do, but when confronted, we very well may not. we may have run, in his situation, but he had the courage to confront the terrorists, take them on, and possibly his actions spared other people from being killed. there is a good line in his first person piece: this is not how the night should have ended for anyone. it is not how nights in borough n. london is one of the friendliest places in the world. i think that is a positive message. “— world. i think that is a positive message. —— it is not how one night out in borough end. i think defiance
9:55 am
is the best response to terrorism. there was a taxi driver who tried to run them down. it hit particularly close to home for us, because we we re close to home for us, because we were there. one of my colleagues almost got run over by the ban. he left the office, came out, and the van swerved, which is how we were alerted to what was going on. —— almost got run over by the van. imagine the greater carnage that could have been caused if they had gotten hold of a lorry. thank you both for being with us. that is it. just a reminder, we take a look at tomorrow's front pages every evening at 10.40 here on bbc news. thank you forjoining me. the
9:56 am
weather front that brought so much cloud and rain to so many parts of the british isles from saturday is still pretty adjacent to the south—eastern quarter of the british isles, but it is moving away. it leaves behind low—pressure, which is driving the weather at the moment. a blustery day in northern and western parts of the british isles, and if you are close to the centre of that low—pressure, there are showers aplenty to be had. a quiet start to the day in some spots, but come mid—afternoon, we will see many of those showers ganging up across scotland, the heaviest across central and western areas. thunder and lightning possible. a similar prospect in northern ireland. after run dry enough start, some of those showers will move over the pennines,
9:57 am
some coming off the western shores of wales working their way towards the midlands, one or two back into the midlands, one or two back into the south west as well. the driest weather will be the east midlands, east anglia and the south—east. top temperature 22 celsius. what's going on at the moment. i don't think the weather will get in the way of the airshow at cosford. you may have noticed that the pollen levels are high, and they are matched by the uv levels quite widely across england and wales. showers will continue overnight in some parts of scotland. longer spells arraigned in prospect, the same for northern ireland. —— longer spells of rain. 0n the same for northern ireland. —— longer spells of rain. on monday morning, gusts of wind on the high ground either side of the central belt, and indeed, through the heart of the central belt, down the m8, could be gusting up to a0 mph.
9:58 am
showers will continue in the north west of scotland. but further south, a lot of dry weather, and a lot of clout. there will be some brightness over the course of the day, and temperatures will respond, 16—20dc. into the middle of the week, low— pressure into the middle of the week, low—pressure close to the north and west, but drier and brighter thanks to the high pressure across the south. this is bbc news at 10am. i'm annita mcveigh at westminster. downing street is forced to clarify its position over a deal with the dup, as they make it clear nothing is finalised yet. amid the confusion over attempts to secure a majority, there's now open speculation over the prime minister's future. theresa may is a dead woman walking. it's just how long she's going to remain on death row. what's your guess? i think we will know very shortly. we could easily get to next week and it all collapses for her.
9:59 am
but the defence minister michael fallon says the prime minister was right to cool for an election. the prime minister was right to cool for a bigger majority to open a brexit negotiations and build a stronger, fairer britain beyond that. she didn't have an elected mandate
