hello, this is been —— bbc news with lu kwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines. 11 people have been injured in an accident outside london's natural history museum after a car mounted the pavement and struck pedestrians. i heard a couple of loud bangs, didn't really think much of it, cos you just think it's a car backfiring or something, and then there were some screams and a large crowd came through. police say it's not terror—related. a man has been arrested following the accident. the prime minister says her thoughts are with the injured. rallies have taken place across spain as tensions continue over catalonia's bid for independence. the spanish prime minister has ruled out a snap election as a result of the crisis. there are renewed fears for the future of jobs at the bombardier aircraft factory in belfast, after the us government announced a further increase in tariffs
10:31 pm
on planes made by the canadian company. and president trump has issued an emergency declaration, as hurricane nate approaches the gulf coast of the united states. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are martin lipton, deputy head of sport at the sun, and the political commentator daisy mcandrew. both of you, good evening, we will have a chat in a moment, but let me quickly take you through the front pages. the sunday times has an interview with the prime minister in which she suggests she's prepared to demote boris johnson. it also claims that three cabinet ministers discussed forcing her out. the observer says tory grandees are urging mrs may to cultivate
10:32 pm
the next generation of mps, suggesting that may be the best way to keep mrjohnson out of number ten. but the former prime minister sirjohn major has blasted plotters in the mail on sunday and said backing her is the only way to prevent what he calls the "poisonous neo—marxism" of a labour government. the sunday telegraph says the pm is preparing contingency plans in case of failing to secure a brexit deal. and borisjohnson has reportedly told the paper tory mps "sniffed the air" this week before backing mrs may. "brexit‘s big three back the pm" is the lead in the sunday express. trade secretary liam fox has told the paper about what he calls mrs may's "great inner strength". and finally, the sunday star claims england football bosses

will send bug sweepers to next yea r‘s world cup over fears that the russians will spy on the team. politics and intrigue, isn't it?! let's start off, and why don't you get government with the times? apologies to anyone who was not interested in infighting in the conservative party or mrs may's future, because that is pretty much what all the broadsheets are concentrating on. just out of the back of that conservative party conference, which any standards was an unmitigated disaster, and certainly the prime minister's speech was, so we knew that the minute she had that speech finished, the plotting was going to get out of hand, and you can see the evidence. lots to do most borrowers in a reshuffle, her reaction to this
10:34 pm
plotting, fantastic interview with the prime minister. —— plots to deem out boris in reshuffle. she says the truth is that my feelings can be hurt like anybody else, but i am pretty resilient. that is the theme, a p pa re ntly pretty resilient. that is the theme, apparently in the car on the way back from manchester she was weeping, her husband telling her that it was time to go, that he was worried about her. she seems to be denying that, turning the attention, saying, nobody is unstackable, i can sack boris, she is hinting at that, say i am the pm, i have to get the best people in the cabinet, which is being interpreted in that way. look, what we are witnessing here is the debris of the car crash conservative
10:35 pm
party conference, which is strewn all over the political landscape. it is an horrendous mess, and you would say it is like ferrets fighting in a sack, but you wonder whether they could find the entrance to the sack at the moment, because it is a total debacle. unfair on ferrets! what is interesting is that this is the fightback from the may side to try to putjohnson back in his box and threaten him with being demoted. the danger is he would not accept that, from foreign secretary, he would storm out of the cabinet, therefore leading to something akin to hessle tyne resigning over westlands —— heseltine resigning over westland in the 1980s. he knows it is an empty threat, that she cannot afford to
10:36 pm
sack him, because if she does, it will be open warfare, and notjust these noises off. she deliberately got things going in an interview in my paper, interesting interview, but... do you really think he is untouchable? i think he thinks he is. there is a lack of competition for the topjob, so not is. there is a lack of competition for the top job, so not necessarily that he is amazing but there aren't many contenders, he is the best of a bad bunch as they said. tim sheppard has some interesting colour about what was going on after the speech, talking about three cabinet ministers who were definitely plotting and saying that may's time was up, plotting and saying that may's time was up, one plotting and saying that may's time was up, one amazingly strong quote, a cabinet minister saying she will be toast by christmas, gone by christmas. i would have to agree that it looks like she will be, but who is going to take her place? this
10:37 pm
was all about making grant shapps the lee halpin garswood, the patsy for the plot, you can blame him. the lee halpin garswood, the patsy forthe plot, you can blame him. —— leigh harvey oswald. the problem is that within the conservative party, there is no obvious prime minister in waiting. if may had not gone in june, she would have gone now, because this was such a disaster. so the two ministers were in touch with a third harbouring leadership ambitions... with a mob of blonde hair! it is interesting, a lot of people say to politicaljournalists, this is just total tab will, but it is the cabinet minister is creating the story. —— this is just terrible.
10:38 pm
it is not about policy, but it is very important. the next 18 months are the most important short period of re ce nt are the most important short period of recent british political history, in terms of how we handle the brexit negotiations, irrespective of how you feel about the decision. how can you feel about the decision. how can you conduct those negotiations if you conduct those negotiations if you are not sure you will be prime minister in three weeks' time? do you know what i thought was damaging? the paper reveals, the times, that her husband told friends in the city that he was concerned about her welfare. you do wonder if about her welfare. you do wonder if a wife had said something similar about her husband, whether it would have been taken on board. everyday sexism is alive and well. the observer, again, politics. exactly what martin was saying, where is the young, fresh talent? what happened
10:39 pm
to david cameron, he skipped a generation coming he was very young, so generation coming he was very young, so people are saying, where is the next cameron jerome act so people are saying, where is the next cameronjerome act this is the other side of the story, axed the old guard to make way for the young stars. —— where is the next cameron? but there are no names here. people are mentioning james cleverley, who was close tojohnson are mentioning james cleverley, who was close to johnson at city hall. but the 2015 intake have only been a parliament for two years, they have not got the experience to make the jump. seven years in, this government should have had a lot of people from 2005 and 2010 intakes who were ready for top—ranked ministerial office, and it appears they don't exist, and there in lies they don't exist, and there in lies the issue. look, i they don't exist, and there in lies the issue. look, lam not sure that johnson can now win. i am not convinced that he would get anything from the rank and file now because of the way he has been seen to
10:40 pm
destabilise. yeah, in the ballot. amber rudd would be in with a shout, but she only has a majority of 300 in hastings. she cannot spend the campaign defending her own seat. the observer has a poll, i think we will see a number of polls that will be very interesting, and this is not a popularity poll, it is about which party does the public or people taking the poll think is the most divided? it says almost half, 47%, think the tories are the most divided, up from a0%, but 42% think labour. i can't really see where thatis labour. i can't really see where that is going, because people don't vote for a party because they are divided or not. there has always been his view, the conventional wisdom is that divided parties do not win, but we have got two divided parties, and no doubt that we have two divided, bitterly divided parties. and we have a divided
10:41 pm
nation. jeremy corbyn has made an amazing transformation 12 months on, look at his reception at conference. it doesn't hide the fact that there are it doesn't hide the fact that there a re two it doesn't hide the fact that there are two very divergent wings in the... what corbyn is doing quite well is not saying too much, let the attention be on the conservatives at the moment. two names mentioned, one was michael howard, the other is the mail, which leads withjohn major, who has recommendations. he has done in all guns blazing, saying the brexit big three back the pm... sorry, wrong one! the treachery of tory rebels, we know what he dealt with in the 19905,... tory rebels, we know what he dealt with in the 1990s,... he questioned the legitimacy of certain people! he said that people like iain duncan smith, john redwood, the eurosceptics, were destroying the party and destroying his leadership, so party and destroying his leadership, so of course people do think he is
10:42 pm
quite bitter about that, and he is now saying, you know, it is time to get strong with these, and he is having a real pop at iain duncan smith. so is itjust old feuds coming back to the fore? he says the tory policies are too timid. what you want is a home secretary talking about the nasty... oh, no, she is prime minister now! it is interesting, this, emerging from certain people within the conservative party, saying, why are we seemingly aping labour's policy? if we can't shoot their fox totally, what is the point of taking potshots at it? the tories are always going to struggle to beat labour on their heartland issues. the tory brand is strong when it is the economically sensible... portraying itself as the
10:43 pm
steady hand at the tiller, but if thatis steady hand at the tiller, but if that is not possible, given the chaos of the last three months. we will go back to the times, i was listening to radio 4, any questions and on stays, and time and time againa and on stays, and time and time again a couple of people said, why would you sack anyone for this? the public are saying enough already. you can see that is the way they have tried to spin it, and it is not just that she had a cold or a calf, she was in a very bad position and was expected... it was supposed to bring herup, and was expected... it was supposed to bring her up, and it didn't, it gave the inviting more to fight about. very quickly, and issuing on this story in the times, cartoons lowering kits to gambling. story in the times, cartoons lowering kits to gamblinglj story in the times, cartoons lowering kits to gambling. i find it quite reprehensible, the way that some of these companies are trying
10:44 pm
to create kids as young addicts. we have a major problem with gambling in this country, and as someone who likes a bet, i do, for me it is a fiver, nothing much, but we are seeing increasing numbers of people spending too much, and if you are using peter pan, jack in the beanstalk, and moon princess, about which i know very little, i admit, using this as an entry point for gambling, something has to be done. any of us who have young children know about the addiction to the electronic, and if you combine that with another genuinely damaging addiction, i can see it as an absolute disaster. they don't get the bigger picture, do they? absolute disaster. they don't get the bigger picture, do they7m absolute disaster. they don't get the bigger picture, do they? it is so the bigger picture, do they? it is so exciting winning something again and again with not real money. we will come back to the papers at 11:30, so much more to talk about! more news coming up at the top of
10:45 pm
