9:32 am
and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly hamilton. good morning. now, aftertheir defeat yesterday, there has been a little bit of a shake—up to the british and irish lions for the next game. coach warren gatland has named george north and johnathan joseph game. coach warren gatland has named george north and johnathanjoseph in the starting 15 for the match against the hurricane fly wellington on tuesday. rory best returns as captain, he was skipper for their best win on the tour so far against the chiefs last week and gatland believes all of the problems from the first test can be sorted out for the first test can be sorted out for the next two. those things are all fixable for me. the all blacks haven't played champagne rugby and throwing the ball all over the place, fairness to them, they were very direct up front so we need to make sure we're better in those areas in terms of combating them for next week. england's cricketers had a really disappointing start to the women's world cup. in the opening match, they lost by 35 runs against india in derby.
9:33 am
it would have been a record—breaking victory if they'd made their target of 282 — but they fell short, asjoe wilson reports. think globally, what women's cricket needs is to motivate interest in india. derby's welcome perhaps made the point about the size of the indian market. locally, well, a decent crowd expected early england wickets, instead they saw one of the most exciting young talents in world cricket enjoying herself. smriti mandhana made 90 in a style to light up any occasion. supported by her teammates and also by dropped england catches. this one was beyond beaumont on the boundary but fast bowler katherine brunt had been blunted. india made 281. whenever england seemed to be getting close in the chase, runouts held them back, that was captain heather knight gone. fran wilson played the innings of her career so far, 81 and england hoping. guess what, she was run out. replays revealing her bat wasn't grounded.
9:34 am
in the end england finished 35 runs short, their preparation had seemed strong, i wondered if on this big occasion some of the players might have frozen. we didn't start the way we wanted to which meant we were always struggling uphill, but it's something we will have to look at. i don't think it was anything to do with freezing, we didn't quite bowl the way we wanted to and india really put the pressure back on us. a significant and even historic result in women's cricket but it doesn't mean england are out. remember initially all the eight teams play each other in a round robin stage and england will expect to win their next match in leicester against pakistan on tuesday. mind you, they expected to win their opening match here against india. lewis hamilton said the pressure was "amazing", after he produced what he called a "beautiful lap" to take pole for this afternoon's azerbaijan grand prix. when qualifying was held up
9:35 am
by a crash, the drivers only had time for one flying lap at the end of the session — and hamilton went almost half a second quicker than his mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas. it was all or nothing. the lap just got better and better throughout. i saw valtteri just ahead, i knew he was doing a good lap, i came across and i was coming down to the last corner, like, please be enough. i'm ecstatic. one football line for you — and england's under 21s now know who'll they'll face in the semi—finals of the european championship in poland. it'll be germany, after they lost to italy last night and finished runners—up in their group. roger federer is in really good form on grass in the run—up to wimbledon. he reached the final of the halle open in germany with a straight sets win over karen khachanof. with a straight sets win over karen khachanof. federer is back up to fifth in the world rankings — and he'll be looking for a 19th grand slam title at wimbledon,
9:36 am
and in the other warm—up event at queen's, marin cilic beat gilles muller to set up a meeting with feliciano lopez in today's final. cilic has only had his serve broken once in the tournament so far. petra kvitova says she's feeling no pain and "couldn't have imagined a better comeback", as she reached her first final since her playing hand was injured in a knife attack six months ago. she'll face australia's ashleigh barty in the final of the aegon classic in birmingham, after her semi—final opponent lucie safarova was forced to retire. there were some strong performances from great britain's athletes at the european team championships in lille. at one point, they led the standings but they finished the second day of three in third place. eilidh doyle produced one of the highlights, running a season—best in the aoom hurdles. england will meet malaysia this afternoon in the third and fourth placed playoff
9:37 am
at the hockey world league in london. they were beaten 2—0 by the netherlands in the semi—finals but if they win this afternoon, they'll reach the world league final in india this december. great britain won a record eight medals at the european boxing championships in ukraine. that included bantamweight gold for liverpool's peter mcgrail, who said he was "absolutely buzzing" afterwards. a lot of the fighters there are part of a gb boxing squad which has changed significantly in preparation for the 2020 olympic games in tokyo. sir ben ainslie says he has some difficult phone calls to make, after his team failed to qualify for the america's cup final. they were comprehensively beaten by team new zealand in bermuda and he's planning some changes — but he's not giving up. are used to think being an olympic sailor was hard work but it's nothing compared with this. i have loved every minute of it, it has been a huge, huge challenge, really proud of the team that we have
9:38 am
developed and i want to be a big pa rt developed and i want to be a big part of that in a future and, yes, i will keep running the team and i'm determined that we will get the america's cup back. that's all the sport. now on bbc news, here's the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political commentator and journalist, daisy mcandrew, and the foreign editor of the sunday times, peter conradi. welcome to both of you. let's have a look at the front pages. the observer leads with fire safety in schools, saying proposals to relax standards are to be dropped by ministers. prince harry dominates the front page of the the mail of sunday, saying he considered quitting his royal role, but stayed for the queen. the sunday telegraph headlines "blackmail fears after mps hit by cyber attack." the cyber attack is also the main story on the sunday times,
9:39 am
who report there was fury at the time it took for the incident to be revealed. and the express leads with an image ofjeremy corbyn — saying he ignored armed forces day invitations to appear at glastonbury. let's dip into at least some of those over the next 15 minutes. let's kick off with the observer. bezy, take is to their front page, whether used the word "panic" to describe what ministers facing over fire safety. it is quite an apt word for a lot of what has been going on in whitehall and council buildings up in whitehall and council buildings up and down the country, obviously still trying to work out what on earth went one at grenfell and what measures should have been put in place before grenfell and need to be put in place now. the observer kicking off by saying this is all about fire safety in schools specifically. one of the shocking things is that in, i think, between
9:40 am
2007 and 2010, 70% of new school buildings that were being built were installed with sprinklers. that has gone down to 35% because of this loosening of the regulations that the accusation is the conservative government was putting in place. their argument was there are fewer fires in schools, schools are better built, the sprinklers are unnecessary, and unnecessary cost. obviously everything has changed 110w. obviously everything has changed now. david james, the conservative chairman of the conservative all—party fire safety group has been saying for a number of years that these new regulations were absolutely mad, "crazy" was the word he used, so he will be applauding this u—turn. he used, so he will be applauding this u-turn. so we are looking at a com plete this u-turn. so we are looking at a complete change in attitude, peter? i think we are. reading the observer story, there is a quote in there, "school buildings don't need to be sprinkler protected to achieve a reasonable standard of life safety." asa parent, reasonable standard of life safety." as a parent, i think what is a
9:41 am
reasonable standard of life safety? i think the problem is that what started in an awful —— with an awful fire ina started in an awful —— with an awful fire in a tower block is go to spread across all of our buildings. we're talking about schools here, elsewhere they are talking about hospitals, the extent to which how many hospitals are clad? how many other public buildings which mark i think this is going to grow and grow and be a bigger and think this is going to grow and grow and be a biggerand bigger think this is going to grow and grow and be a bigger and bigger problem. and in the telegraph, with more reference here specifically to tower blocks and warnings over the compulsory testing of some about installation. precisely. what we had with grenfell tower is we had insulation and we had cladding on top of it and the attention so far has been focused on the cladding, but looking at the installation now and the insulation is highly flammable. that is the scary think you combine that with the chimney effect and it is shocking stuff, really. and the problem is, as we know, an inquest has been announced but if they are going to do their job thoroughly, it is going to take
9:42 am
a considerable amount of time. on the other hand, people are saying lives are at risk and if we have any repetition grenfell, we will all, the political classes, will be held culpable, so there is real tension between the two sides and also, of course, after a disaster like this, if anybody starts to say we don't need these extra regulations, they will be immediately accused of putting lives in danger, so the politicisation of it is very difficult to manage when you are looking at it from the regulators' point of view. and the public inquiry, of course will be held, but they take time and there might be an interim statement of some description from that inquiry. but weirdly satisfy some of those who wa nt weirdly satisfy some of those who want more urgent... it will give some cancers, then you are so want more urgent... it will give some cancers, then you are so many people calling out conspiracy and cover—up and until you get some of those answers out there, that will continue to feed into the story ——
9:43 am
it'll give some cancers. and you have people living in tower blocks who are being told they have to be evacuated and saying no, my tower hasn't suddenly become dangerous since grenfell went up. it is such a issue. let's talk politics more specifically with regard to the conservative party. daisy, staying with the telegraph, tory quote to skip "toxic generation" and installing a younger face as leader, which would suggest going past the likes of boris johnson which would suggest going past the likes of borisjohnson and david davis. saying that generation are all tainted by the failure of the conservative party to win the outright majority. it's like he makes you smile, hopes are turning to the "golden generation". who are saying this? and who is this golden generation? the tory mps, we are told, who were elected in 2010, so... told, who were elected in 2010, so... and also some of the more junior cabinet ministers, dominic raab, priti patel, sajid javid
9:44 am
orrell mentioned. jessye norman is one of the 2010 alleged golden generation and i do think he is an impressive man. boris johnson's brother also mooted. we all know that if you are mentioned as a possible leader, it probably is the kiss of death and it will probably never happen but i agree that people of theresa may's generation and the big beasts, david davies, whether it is david davis or borisjohnson, i suspect they are... that they probably has passed. interesting that there is a reference to david cameron in the peas, that when he joined the leadership race in 2005 that he wasn't very well—known. joined the leadership race in 2005 that he wasn't very well-known. that is true but as daisy says, talking about this golden generation but thatis about this golden generation but that is a new definition of goldemann, it is difficult to feel inspired by anyone. -- of goldemann. the only one i think who were genuinely have a chance is ruth
9:45 am
davidson, the leader in scotland but she is not an mp and she has said on many occasions she is getting married, she wants to have a child, her life is in scotland and that is where she once the state. i have seen at least two commentators in today's paper saying route, your country and your party need you and of course, they could force a by—election, they could get her in. it is possible. it looks a bit desperate, doesn't it, really? joe johnson would be great, joe against boris, the miliband brothers all over again. but does the country wa nt over again. but does the country want another if tony and running the party ——i want another if tony and running the party —— i suspect possibly not. talking of boris johnson, party —— i suspect possibly not. talking of borisjohnson, he features in the mail on sunday, which i have thrown open on pages 16 and 17, not entirely by accident, this is talking about further plots and this is... well, secret tory battle cry of dd apm, david davies, and we have a photograph of him and
9:46 am
borisjohnson and we have a photograph of him and boris johnson with and we have a photograph of him and borisjohnson with biff and bob alongside them. it is wonderful stuff. it all seems to be based on a party that happened after the queen's speech and for me, the best bits in it is the role played by sir desmond swain, a backbench tory mp for the new forest west. pictured with a marvellous hat on. a marvellous holmberg. we are told that he wears a homburg hat around westminster, swims a quarter of a mile in the serpentine and he has apparently said theresa may is the only person who stands between us and bolshevism, in this 100th anniversary of the russian revolution, but he is basically singing david davis's praises. i'm not entirely sure, i like desmond swain very much and he is one of the more gullible members of the conservative party in every way but i'm not sure he is in tune with what the general public one. i think there are rumours that the tories now have fewer members than the lib dems. we don't know because the
9:47 am
latest figures... as in party members? party members. and we know jeremy corbyn is getting party members by the thousands by the day, so members by the thousands by the day, soi members by the thousands by the day, so ijust think members by the thousands by the day, so i just think they have members by the thousands by the day, so ijust think they have got members by the thousands by the day, so i just think they have got a members by the thousands by the day, so ijust think they have got a real problem with that and conservative backers, i see in the telegraph, alexander timerco, ukraine born businessman who has given the tories have £1 million, he is calling for a dynamic, young and articulate new leader and we all know... that is the same in every walk of life. money does speak in politics when your backers lose weight. what have the sunday times written? another twist on the saga, so much plotting going on. this version suggests that theresa may will step down and that phil hammond will come in as a sort of interim leader. but not for a full five years. no, it is a bizarre strategy, suggesting he is not
9:48 am
re—electable either but let's have him fora re—electable either but let's have him for a bit and we will have someone him for a bit and we will have someone else who is. make that gives them time to mind the golden generation. so he would take is passed the end of the brexit negotiations is the theory. but he would agree in advance that he would stand down, so he would be totally lame duck, as bad as what we have got and lame duck, as bad as what we have gotandi lame duck, as bad as what we have got and i love this quote that says "he told me, he beat phil hammond, "that it theresa may could be prime minister, so could he." there is a ringing endorsement, because most people would agree she is not doing a fantasticjob. i would people would agree she is not doing a fantastic job. i would love to be a fantastic job. i would love to be a wall in the conversations between those two. i wonder where these bits and pieces come from, briefings and nudges and winks that go on in the palace of westminster. it is all so unattractive and at a time when we have got serious problems, grenfell, brexit negotiations, no government to speak up, the deal with the dup still hasn't done, northern ireland still hasn't done, northern ireland still doesn't have a government and you think, really, i load of tory
9:49 am
leadership navel—gazing, is that what we need? in parliament, the other story highlighted, blackmail danger, this cyber attack. yes, the sunday times, a couple of minutes they are making —— a couple of points they are making, the most damning news is that it happen on friday morning, they are having a go at the parliamentary digital director, rob gray, who we are in form earns £110,000 a year and used to work for the royal opera house. the complaint is he didn't tell mps about this until 10:30pm, for fears of the thing being compromised. i am not sure... if it was the russians what done it, i'm not sure what they would've made a correspondence between mps and their constituents, they probably would have been a little underwhelmed by some of it but as ever, it shows how vulnerable all institutions are to hacking. and people nowadays tend to be so much more careful and more aware of the paper trail, the e—mail trail, that can be left. but because most people suspect that there isn't anything
9:50 am
that interesting within most mps' inboxes as far as government or party politics, they are concentrating on the fact that there could be something juicy as far as blackmail or inappropriate messages going back and forth and i suspect there will be a lot of nervous researchers. "did i really write that?" it couldn't possibly be me, someone that?" it couldn't possibly be me, someone must that?" it couldn't possibly be me, someone must have that?" it couldn't possibly be me, someone must have accessed my computer. page two of the mail on sunday, this isjustin welby, the archbishop of canterbury with his thoughts on the brexit negotiations. i'm a big fan of the archbishop of canterbury. i think he is brave and has been very outspoken on a lot of issues since he took office and he issues since he took office and he is calling for, he says, to draw the poison from brexit, for a coalition andi poison from brexit, for a coalition and i think he is absolutely right on that message, because brexit is such a big deal and it should be, in theory, above party politics. on the
9:51 am
other hand, i've absolutely no faith that anything will happen on this because it's been made such a political issue over the last generation, europe, leaving europe, after the referendum, that the parties are set up to fight punch and judy style with each other and i would say are totally incapable of joining a coalition. these kinds of coalitions are needed on pensions, the future of the nhs, there are so many issues that should in theory be above party politics. it is part of above party politics. it is part of a longer interview he has done. above party politics. it is part of a longer interview he has donem isa a longer interview he has donem is a comment piece he has written that goes from the solidarity shown over 6 re nfell that goes from the solidarity shown over grenfell to the lack of solidarity, the opposite, over brexit. peter, take is to the sunday times, because you highlighted this story outside the studio, this is with reference to what a dutch doctor is saying about end of life care. yes, it is. a chap called marcel levy, the chief executive of
9:52 am
university college london hospitals and he looks at the huge amount of resources that are devoted to patients in the last moments, the la st patients in the last moments, the last months or weeks of their lives, or whatever, and not obviously only from the point of view of cost but from the point of view of cost but from the point of view of cost but from the point of view of suffering and says should we really be doing this? is it really worth it for people, to put them through that la st people, to put them through that last bit of dialysis, that last treatment, just to prolong their life for another week, another two weeks, if they are going to spend most of those weeks being treated? why not just accept it most of those weeks being treated? why notjust accept it is most of those weeks being treated? why not just accept it is all over, make the most of it, go on holiday with your family instead? my father was ina with your family instead? my father was in a hospice when he was dying and the difference in treatment that you get in a hospice, which is obviously all about end of life care, making it as good as possible in those last few days, to the care that you get in a hospital was very very marked, because they are
9:53 am
experts in that area and they were so experts in that area and they were so impressive in both treating the dying person but also the family, and looking after them, and i learnt and looking after them, and i learnt a lot from that experience and ever since have been massively keen on hospice is getting more funding and more recognition for the work they do andi more recognition for the work they do and i think the treatment you get when you come into the world, in maternity wards, and the treatment you get when you leave the world are so you get when you leave the world are so important and often don't get the funding or the attention because people get so worried about the idea that withdrawing treatment is somehow cruel and, actually, very often, it's the reverse. time is tight so a brief thought from you both on the fact thatjeremy coleman has made it onto the front of the observer with a microphone in his hands speaking to the crowds at glastonbury. all you have to say about that is could you imagine any conservative doing that? no, you can't. desmond swain in our homburg hat. that tells you all you need to
9:54 am
know about what is going on in british politics. because of his attraction to youth voters particularly. it just attraction to youth voters particularly. itjust underlines it, jeremy corbyn superstar as far as glastonbury is concerned. yes, it was alljez, we can, apparently. time has beaten us, that is it for the papers, thank you to both and a reminder, we look at tomorrow's front pages every evening at 10:a0pm on bbc news. daisy and peter, go off and do something even more important with the rest of your day. thank you very much. good morning to you. part two of the weekend looks pretty similar to have part one ended up. similar to how part one ended up. it's going to be a little bit cooler today but there are some good breaks in the cloud this morning, allowing some sunshine. it looks like for england and wales,
9:55 am
likely to turn cloudier with outbreaks of rain thanks to this weather front. the low pressure system scooting to the north of the uk bringing a windy day on saturday, is going to continue to move away into scandinavia, so we will see the winds easing down here. we should see a good deal of sunshine across scotland and pushing down into northern ireland and down into northern england as well. a slightly cooler air mass coming in from the north—west, you will notice that. temperatures are based around 18 celsius and when you add on the wind as well to the far north—east, which as i mentioned, will continue to ease down but it will feel quite chilly. a few showers in maybe the north and west of scotland, but in the sunshine, not too bad. turning brighter thereto in northern england. but that weather front straddling central part of england in towards wales and will bring outbreaks of light and patchy rain, very hit and miss, some areas staying dry altogether but i think quite a grey day for most, temperatures around 18—21 degrees. it looks like there will be spits and spots of rain in the air at glastonbury once again,
9:56 am
rather cloudy with temperatures around 18 or 19 degrees. the same across london for the queen's tennis, maybe a little bit warmer, 20—21 celsius. and the wind coming in from the west fairly brisk at times. now that weather front is bringing the cloud and patchy rain to central southern areas and will eventually clear where this evening clear away this evening to the first part of the night and overnight tonight, it looks dry for most, clear skies, light winds and that slightly cooler air mass, it is going to be a chilly night and temperatures in rural places for central and northern areas dropping down to single figures quite widely. now, into monday, it doesn't look too bad. high pressure i think will be dominating much of the country but this area of low pressure will come into play through the course of the day and it is going to introduce thicker cloud to southern and western coastal areas and eventually bring some persistent rain to northern ireland. but for the bulk of the country, it should be dry and under that influence of high—pressure, there are some good sunny spells around and pulling up a little bit of warm air from the near continent again, so we could be looking at highs of 2a, maybe 25 degrees, but the rest of the week, looking at the weekend, low pressure i think is dominating the scene. we could see spells of pretty
9:57 am
heavy rain at times, quite breezy too and there could be quite a bit of cloud. this is bbc news. the headlines at 10am: cladding on 3a tower blocks in 17 council areas in england has failed fire safety tests, the government says. so far, every sample has failed the tests. hundreds of residents in camden have spent a second night away from their homes after four buildings were evacuated over safety concerns. but some residents are refusing to leave. the discoveries they've made now, with any of the problems of the building, at the same i've been living with the three years. i have felt safe in that time and i don't see anything has changed. more than 120 people are feared to have been killed when a lorry transporting oil burst into flames in pakistan's punjab province. the government says prices for goods such as sugar and bananas won't rise after brexit, as many countries will still have duty—free access to the uk.
