that's great stuff from sarah orchard. that's all from sportsday. don't forget you can keep up on the website, bbc.co.uk/ sport, with all the latest on the upcoming games this week for the world cup qualifiers. before that, we have the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are ben chu, economics editor at the independent and ruth lea, arbuthnot banking group economic adviser. we were deliberating, what is the collective noun for economists? obsession, i think. i think it is collective noun for economists? obsession, ithink. ithink it is a glut. what do you think, tell us on twitter. tomorrow's front pages.

the financial times leads with a report on conservative party divisions over borisjohnson‘s ‘red line' for brexit. the metro's front page also features the conservative party conference, and the foreign secretary's suggestion during his speech that jeremy corbyn should be sent into space. the telegraph describes borisjohnson as the ‘roaring lion‘ that he urged his fellow party members to be during his speech to the conference. meanwhile the guardian chooses to focus on what the prime minister is expected to tell her mps tomorrow — saying she will call on them to care less aboutjob security and more about the needs of ordinary people. the i has an exclusive revealing that ministers are planning to reinstate maintenance grants for poorer university students — at a cost of £500 million. and the daily mail looks at the threat of a possible strike by royal mail staff over pensions, pay and working conditions. we will of course begin with the mass shooting in las vegas. the

guardian is reporting it with a picture of mourners gathering at a candlelit vigil in the city. we will be talking about gun laws, says trump. interesting for him, of all presidents, to be saying this, given that he had so much support from the gun lobby. that's right. after the worst gun gun lobby. that's right. after the woi’st gun massacre gun lobby. that's right. after the worst gun massacre in us history, you expect the president to put gun reform law on the agenda. but as you say, with trump, given he had so much money from the national rifle association, about $30 million, they haven't given more to a presidential candidate ever, for him to come out with this suggestion that it is on the agenda is really shocking. the question people will ask, didn't give any detail about what they would talk about, what sort of reform he might visit, the question is, was he speaking off—the—cuff? is there any substance behind it? is he prepared to take on the nra? how would the nra respond if he does? it raises a huge amount of questions.

it shows the difference between what you say before you take office and then what happens in the reality of your ten year. i'm not optimistic there will be many changes to the gun laws in the states. trump is saying it for the hour, if you get my drift. i take the point that he is in hock to the gun lobby and there are huge swathes of american society that just there are huge swathes of american society thatjust don't there are huge swathes of american society that just don't want any changes to these gun laws. theyjust wa nt changes to these gun laws. theyjust want to be able to walk into the store and buy lethal automatic weapons that we find absolutely extraordinary. i'd like to think there will be some sort of changes to the gun laws in the united states but i wouldn't have too many hopes that this will be the case. but i wouldn't have too many hopes that this will be the caselj but i wouldn't have too many hopes that this will be the case. i am reliably told by rob who is producing the papers tonight that the latest poll says 70% would like some further restrictions. that is encouraging. these american groups are terribly influential. but we will see. let's hope. let's hope so. o nto

will see. let's hope. let's hope so. onto the conservative party conference in manchester. in the financial times, cabinet tensions rise as ministers defy the red line on brexit of the prime minister. he didn't get the biggest round of applause today, did he?” didn't get the biggest round of applause today, did he? i thought it was relatively flat actually. how i read this story is most of the cabinet now is closing ranks on a relatively soft, in inverted commas, transition period, they will basically take the hammond, davis, theresa make line, they will be a transition period of around two years, it might be two and a half years, it might be two and a half years, it might be two years and nine months, who knows? that is where the cabinet is moving. they are saying to boris who is saying it must be two years and not a day more, they are saying to boris this is not on, we are going to go through this pragmatic transition period and that is where we are. through this pragmatic transition period and that is where we arem needs to be pragmatic, doesn't it? the length of time? of course it does. the idea you can say

definitively that two years and not a second more, this is a period of time when we need to be having a very complex trade deal, a comprehensive trade deal, as theresa may herself has said it. you cannot necessarily say it will definitely bea necessarily say it will definitely be a certain amount of time. look at the canadian eu trade deal, which took upwards of six years and this will be much more ambitious than that. the idea you can put a specific period of time and it seems on pragmatic and unrealistic. the interesting thing is, people talk aboutjohnson‘s interesting thing is, people talk about johnson's redline, interesting thing is, people talk aboutjohnson‘s redline, is not the prime minister, he's the foreign secretary and the whole debate is formed as if he's laying down the law which speaks to theresa may's control. it is totally split. the metro goes for the colourful language that boris johnson metro goes for the colourful language that borisjohnson used aboutjeremy language that borisjohnson used about jeremy corbyn. language that borisjohnson used aboutjeremy corbyn. i'd blast corbyn into orbit, he called him a space cadet. remember during the election when he called corbyn eight mutton—headed old mugwump?

election when he called corbyn eight mutton-headed old mugwump? how could we forget? that got quite a few headlines at the time and corbyn went on to massively over exceed expectations, getting 40% of the vote. i don't know these colourful insults that stomach of corbyn will have any impact beyond the conservative faithful but this is another one and we will see how it does this time —— insults of corbyn. where do you stand on this knocking of the labour leader because you quite like boris johnson, of the labour leader because you quite like borisjohnson, don't you? i think he is a smashing chap, but there is nothing like bashing jeremy corbyn. the conservative party must address corbyn's appeal and just by bashing him, itake address corbyn's appeal and just by bashing him, i take then the's point, that it might appeal to the hall but it doesn't necessarily appeal to the country, the conservative party must be much stronger on what its values are and why they are different from corbyn's. this isjust a bit of fun and games, i think. we will come onto where the conservatives might

try and beat jeremy onto where the conservatives might try and beatjeremy corbyn at his own game in a moment with a policy that seems to be leaking out. on the daily telegraph here, it is only news in brief at the bottom, but the suggestion is from the catalan leader, catalonia will split from spain within days, even though this referendum was regarded as an illegal vote by the central spanish government. i think split from spain isa government. i think split from spain is a bit of hyperbole, in the sense that he will announce that we are independent, rather than they are going to block the borders or anything like that. it speaks to the terrible way that madrid has handled this because there were talks that they were sort of coming together and they were going to try and talk to each other and then the king of spain tonight came out and made this extraordinary intervention, from what is supposed to be a constitutional monarchy doesn't get involved in politics, saying catalonia has put itself outside the law by holding this referendum, very inflammatory, and that seems to have prompted the catalonian leader to

say, fine, we are going to declare independence than.|j say, fine, we are going to declare independence than. i thought the king's speech was extraordinary. could you imagine the queen saying things like that? there was no reference at all to the violence. no reference at all to the violence. no reference of thuggery. it was just completely counter— productive. i suspect a lot of catalonian is who didn't necessarily want to break away from spain are going to have second thoughts about that. the whole handling of this issue has made things considerably worse. it is interesting to know how this will be resolved. one would like to think that there will be some sort of proper independence referendum as there was with scotland so they could be a logical and reasonable way through deciding whether catalonian is really did want independence or not —— catalonians. the probability of that is very slight thumb i would think. on the day the referendum happened i spoke to somebody who said the basque country has tax—raising powers, which catalonia doesn't have. there

might be aware of devolving more powers may be. there is a very natural solution, as you say, bring them into line with the basque country give them more autonomy. catalonia is a rich region. they have got no absolute material need to have independence to raise our living standards. there is a deal to be done but they have handled it so catastrophically badly and probably have increased support for independence. the eye newspaper has a story about the return of maintenance grants.” would love to know where they got the story from but obviously as the tory party trying to respond to corbyn's stupendously successful policy during the general election campaign. ican policy during the general election campaign. i can see why the conservative party, or the government, is trying to move in this direction. it is a u-turn. they must attract more young people. this direction. it is a u-turn. they must attract more young peoplem isa must attract more young peoplem is a u—turn. must attract more young peoplem

is a u-turn. it is a u-turn, but you turnif is a u-turn. it is a u-turn, but you turn if you want to, the leader is not for turning, but there you go. the other aspect of this is they are quite short in the general taxpayer subsidising students who are studying the subject is presumably because they are getting extra earning power further down the road. do we want the general taxpayer to subsidise these students? but then they will pay more tax. you would hope. there are two ways of looking at this, you could say the conservatives are cannily making an offer to students which is not as generous as the labour offer, obviously, but they hope it will cut through because they trust the conservatives to be to deliver it safely so it will peel off some of the more moderate younger people who we re the more moderate younger people who were tempted by corbyn. another way of looking at it is they are basically offering a really watered—down

version of corbyn is and younger people will look at it and say, why don't we have the real thing, the full strength version? it will do them no good whatsoever. i suspect them no good whatsoever. i suspect the latter but we will see how it goes down. the ifs says it will cost £500 million. not a huge amount of money, is it? more money that philip hammond has to find when he's been told the public sector pay gap has told the public sector pay gap has to be abolished. i suspect there will not lead to huge increases in public sector spending because public sector spending because public sector spending because public sector pay will not go up a huge amount, probably 1.2% instead of 1%, but there will be pressures on public spending but then again the public finance figures so far this financial year have been surprisingly good. it is not going to break the bank, that kind of figure. doctor andrew loch earn suggests a treasury of economists. that's it for the papers to night. they liked that. you can see the front pages of the papers online/

papers. if you missed the programme in the evening, don't fret, it is on the iplayer. ben ando ruth, our treasures. that is another story for the other night —— ben and ruth. she threw me ben foster what is happening next? the weather. good evening. in what is generally quite an unsettled week of whether we have had a window of quieter conditions, some hazy sunshine during today, that was the scene earlierfor during today, that was the scene earlier for a weather watcher in st ives. in cornwall, however, the window of clear weather is closing, this pipeline of cloud you can see on the satellite picture pushing in from the atlantic and things will be turning a little more turbulence over the next 2a hours or so, turning increasingly windy across northern areas through the night, some rain sinking across scotland,

into the far north of england, northern ireland as well, further south staying dry with clear spells and away from the big towns and cities, it will be a chilly night, cold enough for a touch of frost in places. tomorrow we start the day with some sunshine across southern areas of england, across wales, the midlands, east anglia, spells of sunshine around, although the sunshine around, although the sunshine will turn increasingly hazy with more in the way of icloud, 10 degrees for birmingham and coventry. more cloud across northern england, splashes of rain, outbreaks of rain moving across northern ireland, southern scotland, brightness in the north but with heavy showers across caithness and sutherland and the northern isles where it will be windy, for a time that we could see windy, for a time that we could see wind gusts of up to 60 mph on wednesday morning. it stays blustery through the day particularly northern areas, the rain becoming widespread across northern ireland, south—west scotland, north—west england and north wales, and even further south after a bright start, cloud will tend to roll in as the day goes on. temperatures i2

cloud will tend to roll in as the day goes on. temperatures 12 degrees in glasgow, 16 in london. we will keep a close eye on things during wednesday night, because it looks like we will see an area of heavy rain piling in eastwards across north—west england, north wales. there could be enough rain to cause disruption, and as the area of low pressure deepens and the isobars squashed together there is a potential for a swathe of very strong winds, gales perhaps pushing southward sandy studs during the early hours of thursday —— southwards. we will be left with sunshine and showers in areas exposed to that breeze, just 11 degrees in aberdeen, maybe 17 in london. friday is mainly dry day after a chilly start but rain will spread from west on saturday. this is bbc news.

i'm martine croxall. the headlines at 11:00. two days after stephen paddock murdered 59 people, las vegas police say they still can't find any motive he was a thick man, a demented man in. lot of problems, i guess, and we are looking into him very seriously, but we are dealing with a very, very thick individual. in catalonia, the authorities say a declaration of independence will come within days but the king of spain condemns the recent referendum as unlawful. translation: catalan authorities have broken the law of the state and they want to break the unity of spain. at the conservative conference, borisjohnson declares that theresa may will make a success of brexit. and coming up on newsnight, the
