down. i have to be in there as long asi down. i have to be in there as long as i can. they were in every move of the game. that's what it's about for the game. that's what it's about for the future. and britain will be "real underdogs" in the men's road race, according to coach rod ellingworth. 2011 champion mark cavendish and geraint thomas are missing through injury. there's coverage on bbc2 from 1pm. that's all the sport. now on bbc news here's ben brown with the papers. hello and welcome to our look at the mornings papers. with me, prashant rao, deputy europe business editor of the international new york times and the political commentator, vincent moss. today's front pages first starting with. .. the observer looks ahead to the labour party conference where it says brexit will dominate. the paper says the party leadership faces calls to commit to full

and permanent membership of the eu single market and customs union. it's all—out war between borisjohnson and phillip hammond according to the mail on sunday. the paper claims there's a feud following theresa may's speech in florence. the sunday times also leads with the story of a dispute amongst senior tory ministers. according to the paper, philip hammond, david davis and amber rudd were all involved in a leadership plot following the general election. fractures at the top of the tory party also appear on the front of the sunday telegraph. it focuses on borisjohnson — who it says is against the uk adopting any new eu rules and regulations after the uk formally leaves in march 2019. and the foreign secretary also features on the front of the sunday express, which gives him credit for getting the uk out of the eu as planned by 2019 — with the two—year transition period avoiding a "cliff edge" exit. well, let's start off. interesting

with the labour party conference beginning today, most of the front pages are focusing not on the labour party but on the tory party and the continuing feuds. vincent, the mail on sunday for a start, chancellor v boris. it's all out war. that's right. you'd never guess it was the labour party conference. all the papers are focusing on the twirp. the playle on sunday, their political correspondent glen 0wen is highlighting the argument over the trantsings period. highlighting the argument over the tra ntsings period. theresa highlighting the argument over the trantsings period. theresa may said we won't be out until 2021 at the earliest. he is focusing on the arguments between boris johnson earliest. he is focusing on the arguments between borisjohnson and philip hammond. he says allies of johnson claims boris thwart add bid by philip hammond to make the transition period five years instead

of two years theresa may referred to. there seems to be fury on both sides. the conclusion inside the mail on sunday, a lot of ex—pleatives around. both fed up with each other. the conclusion is it can't go on like this. one will end up leaving the cabinet. though we had that show of unity after the cabinet meeting before the florence speech where ham on and johnson walked out in front of the cameras smiling with each other. yeah, that was the short—lived piece that survived. now we're back into the daily war that is the tory party over europe. when you actually summarise all the various things they're battling over, all the various divisions, it's reallyjust remarkable, the sunday times has these revelations of what happened just after the election. now we're seeing some ex—pleatives. the mail oi'i seeing some ex—pleatives. the mail on sunday has a few choice words we can't say on this broadcast. they are not happy with each other. it is one these things. this was supposed

to bea one these things. this was supposed to be a referendum, theoretically to unite the partied over europe. that's never going to happen. the thing about the transition period, you can continue arguing about it for a long time. you could extend the transition period when it comes to the end of that two years. it's up to the end of that two years. it's upforgrabs and to the end of that two years. it's up for grabs and it will continue the wounds within the party? that's right. this is the issue that will never go away for the conservative party. the transition period is by no means fixed. i think we'll see continued arguments over it. stories in the other papers we'll come on to about the detail of that transition period. a lot of wings of the conservative party different factions are getting hung up over. let's look at the send telegraph. just to continue this theme, thieve' boris setting red lines on brexit. in particular, focusing on his supposed argument there shouldn't be any new eu rules for britain after 2019? i wonder about this. as well, some of these, we're reminding

ourself this is one party in one country out of 28 countries who are pa rt of country out of 28 countries who are part of negotiation. while the foreign secretary might want britain to have the ability to negotiate trade deals for there to be no new regulations or subject to the ecj during the transition period, britain is one party to a very complicated negotiation. while it is important what the foreign secretary thinks, these are red lines when in fa ct thinks, these are red lines when in fact everything is up for grabs in this kind of discussion. vincent, do you think with theresa may and that important speech in florence, was billed as the speech of her life by some people, did she succeed with what she was trying to do? were you impressed? i think it was a short—term fix. if you look at the coverage they were not as impressed as she hoped european partners would be. it went some way to a short—term sticking plaster in terms of sorting out her own party. most of the sunday papers carry stories about a0

or 50 sunday papers carry stories about a0 or50 mps sunday papers carry stories about a0 or 50 mps who'd like to see her step aside. leadership rumours, will it be borisjohnson, aside. leadership rumours, will it be boris johnson, amber aside. leadership rumours, will it be borisjohnson, amber rudd. none of that's gone away. it as short—term fix. the only reason the conservative parties are not mounting a leadership challenge is because they could lose a general election and jeremy corbyn could be prime minister. that's the sole reason there's no challenge against theresa may. the sunday telegraph has a neat summary of the various impacts we've already seen in these negotiations. macron talking about more progress. illustrating there is another side though this negotiation. moody's has downgraded britain's credit rating. it had an aaa britain's credit rating. it had an aa a credit rating and it has been downgraded twice since then. this has very real world impacts. makes it more expensive for britain to borrow on international markets. more expensive for the government. these are real impacts of a brexit

that hasn't happened yet and will play out in all of our lives. in a pro—brexit paper, the sunday telegraph, talking about the divorce bill. going up and up. started £18 million. seems to be a mention in the the telegraph story that brexit bull could be up to 50 billion euros. more than double what the british government fix admit. this figure tends to escalate. the transition period is elastic and may grow and expand or may not, but the bill is going up and up. the mentioned the labour party. the 0bserver lead on labour some mps, about 30 labour mps, they say, who wa nt about 30 labour mps, they say, who want the labour party to commit to a full and permanent membership of the single market and the customs union asa single market and the customs union as a clear alternative to the tories on europe? this goes back to your point in fact calling a general election would have a very real threat of labour coming into government from the conservative point of view. so, perhaps more than

in recent years, the opposition party's view on this is critically important. if the snap election was to be triggered this could be government policy very soon. the fa ct government policy very soon. the fact the labour party isn't quite sure of whether or not they want to be market of single market, this is a critical foundational point of negotiation. if both the major parties don't seem to know what's going to happen that creates a huge amount of flux over what will happen with the british policy. still a remarkable degree of uncertainty after a ll remarkable degree of uncertainty after all this time? despite talks of conservative splits this 0bserver story. 30 pierce but some of the people who've signed it are heidi alexander. there's a division in the labour party. many people saw alexander. there's a division in the labour party. many people saneremy corbyn and john mcdonnell on the sceptical side of the european argument. a lot of labour party is pro—european. there is that split there. whether we'll see that this

week. i think it will be a united front at the conference. do you think we're clear whatjeremy corbyn himself thinks about europe right now? and what should be the manner of our departure? i think that's also something that seems to, well, certainly something there's a matter for confusion and hopefully this labour party conference is some way for the general electorate to be clear on where the leader of the labour stands. it seems mr corbyn and his party are at odds where labour should be in the european debate. one interesting implication of the whole brexit thing is colin firth. who'd have thought it. the 0scar winning film actor has taken uppitialian citizenship. the observer are saying, they're quoting an austrian newspaper as saying brexit is a disaster of unexpected

proportions. not quite clear whether him applying for italian citizenship is asa him applying for italian citizenship is as a result of brexit or not? what do you think? it's not really clear. the observer is at pains, they've been marred why for 20 years. something apparently seems to have been a family decision. confirmed by the italian foreign ministry it has been granted. we saw after the referendum a lot of people searching through their family history. they wanted some connection to europe. whether that was through irish citizenship. i've several friends and acquaintances who looked for german citizenship. there is a significant proportion of britain who want to retain a tangible connection to europe. whether this is one example or not, it illustrates a lot of quandaries people are going through on a day—to—day basis while having connections to europe and wanting to maintain those after brexit. will you be looking for dual citizenship?

my you be looking for dual citizenship? my are towards africa rather than europe. i wish they were. the significant thing is he has dual—citizenship. but it will be happenedy. he has a house over there. i'm sure lots of others are doing that. the big issue is the three million eu citizens in the uk and the urn certainty surrounding their future. back to the mail on sunday. they're talking about prince harry, of course, with the invictus games beginning in canada. he hand prince william have said quite a lot about mental health recenty. this has harry say we must stop handing out pills to cure all ills, anti—depressants and so on in terms of dealing with mental illness? this is interesting. you see in theiatesiates as well, this epidemic of using over the country drugs to treat ailments we would not have treated so aggressively in the past. this is having several knock—on

conservativens consequences we're getting to grips with. the fact two princes have spoken out about it, it isa very princes have spoken out about it, it is a very serious issues coming into the public consciousness, rightly so, ithink the public consciousness, rightly so, i think there's evidence as to whether or not we should be taking this that should be considered. it is really rising up the public consciousness, anti—depressants, their use consciousness, anti—depressants, theiruse and abuse, consciousness, anti—depressants, their use and abuse, particularly in their use and abuse, particularly in the united states. the princes are making mental health one of their key points. whether they should intervene quite so stridently on the use of drugs debate.|j intervene quite so stridently on the use of drugs debate. i was going to ask you that. he does know about it, but he's not medically qualified. should he be talking about how many pills are prescribes for meant amylness? arguably not. they work reasonably hard. they are getting around. it is an issue concerning millions of people. it is reasonable to get into the debate. i'm sure

other people will pop up saying why are they getting into the debate. some of the sunday papers will be disappointed they didn't get the picture they wanted which is harry and his girlfriend meghan. rather an awkward looking picture of harry meeting malan ya trump which is not the image they wanted. a different first lady. on to the telegraph. for people in london, this is a dominant story of the week. about uber. the mini—cab app. talking about the whole ban from transport for london. there's now a petition to reinstate uber in london which has more than half a million signatures. a lot of people. it is up to 62 a,000. breaking news you heard it here first. the petition has been promote by uber. it is not organic. the

point still stands, this is at the heart of what a lot of cities and countries are struggling with around the world. deli had this problem. barcelona, paris. how do you regulate uber? is itjust an app barcelona, paris. how do you regulate uber? is it just an app you can download and freely use and people are independent contractors using it for an hour or two between jobs. is it an employer or a taxi service. that means they need to meet certain thresholds. the fact tfl's meet certain thresholds. the fact tfl's ta ken meet certain thresholds. the fact tfl's taken this decision supported bya tfl's taken this decision supported by a lot of unions, a lot of work ears' rights groups but is so opposed by a huge number of londoners shows this is not an easy issue. something that has an answer. it is something every city will have to find a bespoke solution to. whether you like it or not, europer‘s cheap and convenient. it is easy to use. all of that, as somebody who's lived in london for a lot of years, i used to live in

south london, a cab driver would refuse to take you because he didn't like the fare, uber were a godsend. i expect uber will try to fix things. do you think there will be a compromise? sadiq khan in his latest intervention hinted there may be a compromise. i think sadiq khan will go to the labour party conference. huge cheers for tackling uber. you canner will try to fix some of the problems and we could end up with them continuing to operate much as they do. most of my female acquaintances find uber a far safer way of travelling because of the gps, the way ofjourneys are monitored, they find the drivers courteous and a safe and convenient way to travel. if they were taken away from london add other cities, it would be a great shame. a fascinating battle between the black

ca bs fascinating battle between the black cabs and uber, between old technology and new technology? that's right. the black cab, the i'ioj, that's right. the black cab, the noj, are credit to london. when i first came to london in 2002, i took a black cab from the airport to university at 17 years old. you must have been of a fluent!|j university at 17 years old. you must have been of a fluent! i couldn't get airp. what was the bill? i blanked it out from my memory. it is something iconic in london. that's something iconic in london. that's something worth preserving. one of the great things about london is it moves, adapts, changes overtime. that shows at certain times, holding on to something for the sake of it may not be the reason to hold on to it. a very good cue for talking about test cricket. they are thinking about changing the traditional five—day test match to only four days. surely not? you don't get more traditional than

cricket when it comes to english things. i love cricket. an interesting point. many tests don't get into the fifth day unless there's a weather impact. a lot end in three orfour days. there's a weather impact. a lot end in three or four days. cricket‘s been very cloy to reform in many ways. test matches are a problem. they're not talking about it for the ashes series but after that. certainly something that should be looked at. five—day tests very rarely run to five days. they are quite slow. in the modern age people wa nt to quite slow. in the modern age people want to see cricket quicker. quite slow. in the modern age people want to see cricket quickerlj quite slow. in the modern age people want to see cricket quicker. i speak to the fact they rarely run to five days. two weeks ago i was going to lord's with a bunch of colleagues. that match finished in three days. we had ticket for the fourth day. do you get your money back?” we had ticket for the fourth day. do you get your money back? i do but it was a huge disappointment. we were excited. test cricket in england is wonderful. if it has to be four days, it is worth considering if it raidses the popularity of the game. they're talking about making it four

days by starting a bit earlier, 10.30 and having floodlighting. that's another change, isn't it? floodlighting? the floodlighting is good. the problem with the 10.30 starts, people travel long distances. getting there for 10.30 could be tricky. floodlighting's good. they have to find a way of controlling the weather. how you stop the english rain i don't know. whether you make it an indoor sport? that's really the big problem. so weather reliant. but then weather is pa rt weather reliant. but then weather is part of the game. the atmospherics. exactly. that's what cricket is. outside, outdoors. subject to the weather. it affects the crease, the grounds. it is one of the great variables that makes cricket so interesting. you wonder, you were talking about going to one day, how many people would go to a test match for all five days? you'd have to be a real hard core fan? some people do. we have the ashes in australia.

a lot of brits will go and sit for five days. they know over there they'll get the weather and see it to its end. quite often, you just don't get beyond the end of the third day and if you do get into the fourth day, you don't see that much cricket, the results normally a foregone conclusion. the thing about cricket, in a world where people's attention span is shorter and shorter and bite sized. cricket is slow, takes it time. that's what's nice about it? it is one of those things where miner changes in tactics played out over grand strategies. we talked about brexit earlier. cricket is so similar in that way. i was watching a wonderful documentary about the west indies and how they rose to prommence through cricket. these minor changes, how they con stricted the side. the team work involves. it makes cricket fascinating. you're always wary of changing things sport

because it is wonderful for that reason. but if it makes people want to watch cricket you can't be opposed. we could talk about cricket for five days. we won't. we've opposed. we could talk about cricket forfive days. we won't. we've rope out of time. that's it for the papers. thanks to my guests prashant rao and vincent moss. just a reminder, we take a look at tomorrow's front pages every evening at 10.a0pm here on bbc news goodbye from us. hello. whilst many eastern parts of the uk will hang on to some warm, sunny weather. on the whole more cloud. we still have southerly winds so. with more cloud temperatures will be above average for the most part. this was yesterday. you can see across the uk we had temperatures quite widely three to four degrees above average. it felt white warm. it will be a lit warmer today with the sunshine in the east. even where we have the cloud and
