9:32 am
we'll start with the premier league where manchester city are two points clear at the top, after a thumping 7—2 victory over stoke yesterday. city have now scored 29 goals in their first 8 league games. second placed manchester united drew 0—0 with liverpool at anfield. and at the bottom of the table, crystal palace finally scored a goal — and won a game. ben croucher wraps up the action. sometimes you just have to stand up and applaud. not my words — stoke tweeted that after being given a footballing masterclass by manchester city end kevin de bruyne. the belgian at his brilliant best. he laid city's seven goals, but did not find the net himself. when his team—mates were doing this, he didn't need to. caught it very well! pep guardiola sang the praises of kevin de bruyne and what he said was city's best performance under him. the opposition boss was impressed as
9:33 am
well. his time on the pitch, it was absolutely world class. i would argue he is the best player in the premier league by a country mile. city now two clear at the top. chelsea were there last season and travelled to keep crystal palace, who still haven't scored in this one. it's in! crystal palace have their first goal of the season! another as well, the champions beaten 2—1. palace win at last — happy hodgson. north of london, arsenal led watford but tom cleverly changed all that, popping up with an injury—time winner to send his side up to fourth. better fortunes for arsenal neighbours tottenham who finally got a league win at wembley. christian erickson on target in 1—0 win over bournemouth. at turf moor, one down, seven letters, begins with b. that was burnley. chris wood left west ham with a few cross words in their 1—1 draw. another new striker impressed at swansea. tammy abraham grabbed two to sink huddersfield town. and it was billed as the game of the day. it wasn't.
9:34 am
liverpool versus manchester united, this save being the only thing worthy of applause. so confirmation then as you can see manchester city are two points clear of united. tottenham remain third after their first league win at wembley. and the surprise team in the top four is watford. marco silva's side are up to 4th after their late win over arsenal. in the scottish premiership, celtic remain on top, but only on goal difference. they beat dundee i—o. olivier cham with the goal. aberdeen‘s win at hibernian means they're level on points with the champions. there were also wins for motherwell, hearts and for kilmarnock, who had their first win of the season, watched by new manager steve clarke, who takes charge on monday. it's the opening weekend in rugby union's european champions cup. 5 british teams played on saturday including the english champions exeter who beat the pro 14 leaders glasgow. patrick gearey reports. the champions cup demands much. it is an exhausting competition but an
9:35 am
exhilarating one. in meetings between great forces, sometimes it's precise angles that count. glasgow warriors picked one here for tommy seymour to score. the warriors are scotland's only representative in this competition and are in some form but eventually buckled on the overbearing exeter chiefs pressure. sam simmons settled it. the chiefs have conquered england. what price now europe? this was the first that anyone had seen of la rochelle in the champions cup. few will forget them, lease of all harlequins. the men from the atlantic coast attacked in waves, scoring four tries and 3a points. quins played their part in a remarkable match. and a bonus point as some consolation. points were a little scarcer at the rec. bath has spent much of the time keeping benetton treviso out. but when they got the chance to express themselves, it all flowed. zach mercer with the first of their two tries. 22—nil, not the whole story but the part that matters. earlier, leicester had to face the unseasonable parisian heat and an unstoppable fijian lock. the giant frame of racing 92's leone nakarawa seemed to be
9:36 am
everywhere, including in one occasion over the tryline. racing scored three times in the first half but the tigers got two of their own, including johnny may's seventh try in seven games. only enough for a losing bonus point but in this competition, every point is hard—earned. patrick geary, bbc news. england's matt wallace takes a two—shot lead into today's final round of the italian open in monza. this impressive putt on the 13th was one of five birdies yesterday. he's 17 under, two shots ahead of fellow englishman tyrrell hatton and the defending champion, italy's francesco molinari. old rivals rafael nadal and roger federer will meet in the final of the shanghai masters today. nadal‘s amazing resurgence this year continued with a straight—sets semi
9:37 am
final win over marin cilic. the world number one has now won 16 straight matches and is looking for a 7th title of the season. federer came from a set down to beat juan martin del potro. he and nadal have met three times this year — twice in finals and the swiss, winning all three. just time to tell you that maria sharapova has won herfirst just time to tell you that maria sharapova has won her first title since being banned. that's all the sport. coming up now, the papers. hello and a warm welcome to our look at what is in the papers. with me are sian griffiths, the sunday times education editor and the political commentator vincent moss. welcome to you both. let's have a
9:38 am
look at the front pages. the mail on sunday's headline is that every patient visiting a family doctor, or attending a hospital appointment in england will be asked to declare their sexual orientation. the sunday times leads on the same story — saying some have warned of a backlash against intrusion into the private lives of patients. the paper also reports on a rape allegation by the british actress lysette anthony — who claim she was sexually attacked by hollywood producer harvey weinstein in the 1980s. the sunday telegraph says theresa may is coming under pressure by the dup over the chancellor's position on brexit, suggesting he was trying to frustrate the negotiating process and that he should face the sack, unless he changes course. the observer reports on what it describes as a savage attack on the head of the nhs by the children's commissioner over the lack of children's mental health provision. and the sunday mirror has an exclusive interview with the husband of liz dawn, who played vera duckworth in the long—running
9:39 am
soap coronation street in which he reveals her final moving words. let's begin. the story really that has dominated the week is harvey weinstein disk owned by the board of the oscars, his brother and his wife. an extraordinary fall from grace. it is an piece on the times, my paper, has another actress coming forward with a shocking story. lysette anthony has said that hobby wineskin raped her in her own home. the story is told by her long—standing friend charlotte metcalfe. it goes into a lot of
9:40 am
detail about what was a long—standing friendship, she thought it was a french ship, with hobby wineskin. it turned into stalking and then there was this extraordinary encounter when he turned up at her home one morning. the paper goes into graphic detail which is not appropriate for a sunday morning. he does denied the allegations. but of course a lot of people are saying, vincent, all very good for hollywood to kick him out of the oscars and so on, but if this was an open secret for so long, why did they do before? it's a bit like thejimmy did they do before? it's a bit like the jimmy savile situation. friends of mine in los angeles have talked about this for years. allegedly he
9:41 am
has paid people off, people have come forward in the way they are now it's a huge global story because appeared initially to be something that only affected la is now affecting people here because it looks as if many of the alleged victims are british. the metropolitan police will have two investigate and he could face action for crimes that he has committed here, although he has denied that any sex that took place wasn't nonconsensual. he has been associated with many oscar victories and now he is being kicked out. yes, but what i find comforting is how many people have come
9:42 am
forward. it happens to a lot of young actresses and they didn't need to come forward. it's difficult to speak out when you are one woman. you think it is just you. there are lots of quotes where people thought their careers would be over. he was very powerful. are there lessons to be learnt for the wider workplace? this isn't just hobby wineskin —— harvey weinstein.
9:43 am
wineskin -- harvey weinstein. there are many situations like this in other industries. when people do report it, they are bought off. they are given money to be quiet. i would love to think that this will prompt some huge revolution in the way that oui’ some huge revolution in the way that our workplaces operate, but i don't think it will. it will be nice to think it will. it will be nice to think so, but you probably won't. one of the worst elements of this is the power element of this, which it is all about. it's the power he exerted and it looks as if he enjoyed exerting power over young vulnerable people and their careers many people have said that they have never worked since because they
9:44 am
turned him down. it's terrible because it changed their life, not just in terms of the abuse, but he have the power to make, break and terminate careers. let's move on. the mail on sunday is saying that every patient that visited the doctor will be asked about their sexual orientation. doctors order to ask, are you gay? would you make of that, charn? -- sian? because of the equality act, these questions are
9:45 am
being asked and if doctors don't know what your sexuality is, how can they know what your health needs are? lg btq they know what your health needs are? lgbtq people are more likely to use drugs and smoke. there are health issues linked to people's sexuality. it is a great talking point this morning and the mail thinks it is a huge infringement of privacy, but that is a kind of rational behind it. do you see a rationale behind it, vincent?” rational behind it. do you see a rationale behind it, vincent? i do, but some people say it is political
9:46 am
correction gone mad. if you were to ask and 87—year—old granny if she had slept with a woman, she would storm out. but if you were a 70—year—old who has gone in about the other varieties, i doubt that question will come up. that was that is the nhs story in the nhs the observer savaging the nhs regarding children's mental health. they've been accused of not being up to scratch. it isn't. the government say they will put more money into children's mental health care. the
9:47 am
report regarding the failings, nhs england did not like it. there was a spat going on and it's not helpful. it's really be children's commissioner saying you did not take my reports seriously and nhs england are saying there workforce forced with the report. it really is bad pr for both of them. they should be working together but instead they are locked in this row about the contents of a report. it's a serious row, but the more serious issue is that the people that should be fixing the problem of it are —— fixing the problem of it are —— fixing the problem are at each other's 's. children are being sent hundreds of miles away for
9:48 am
treatment. there is an increasing anxiety, eating disorders and depression in younger children. if you can intervene really early, you could stop a lot of this happening. but when you don't intervene early and children go down to dangerously low weight if they have things like anorexia and then they are sent away, it could go on for years. it isa away, it could go on for years. it is a huge issue. i know the reason they personally feels we need to spend more money on this. —— theresa may. speaking about spending money. let's talk about the chancellor of the exchequer, who himself will probably admit that he has not have the best week. this is a story about the best week. this is a story about the dup, the government's partners if you want to call them back in
9:49 am
parliament, ordering giraffe—macro to rein in philip hammond. —— ordering the reason made to rein in philip hammond. it's clear that he is winding people up. the dup says it is unhelpful and the prime minister needs to rein him in. she's having a difficult time with philip hammond, borisjohnson, should she have a reshuffle?m with philip hammond, borisjohnson, should she have a reshuffle? if you rein in both sacked both, just as long as you do something with both of them. is that the politics of it? i think so. ministers are terrified
9:50 am
that they will have a general election and jeremy corbyn will get in. there is talk about a revolution every budget to help philip hammond said hisjob. there is a real sense of... you get the sense that they don't know what to do next. let's talk about the hurricane. i'm not sure if it is a hurricane. ophelia is coming towards the british isles. how worried are you about that? it's exactly 30 years since the great storm of 1987, which michael fish famously failed to forecast. storm of 1987, which michael fish famously failed to forecastlj storm of 1987, which michael fish famously failed to forecast. i think we will be all right in london. it's going to be pretty stormy with
9:51 am
alerts in cornwall and northern ireland and the west coast of scotland. i don't think it is going to be as bad as 1987. broadcasters are under pressure to over predicts, if you like, just in case they get it wrong. i think it will probably peter out. we were just listening to the forecast earlier and technically, we can't have a hurricane, so michael fish was right. let's talk about red poppies in schools. the story in the sunday telegraph is essentially
9:52 am
about the peace pledge association who supports wide poppies. they took the stand at the end of the mutv conference. teachers are supporting the use of white poppies. it's one of those things where should white poppies be discussed in schools? it does come down to personal choice and preference, but it's one of those stories that we used to call marmalade. will end on your story, or one of your stories in the sunday times about prince george. he is that this prep school, at co—ed prep school that breaks with tradition.
9:53 am
you are saying that he may go to a coed secondary school as well? yes, thatis coed secondary school as well? yes, that is the word on the street. or is it the word in the palace? sources said, and if you look at the destinations of children who leave saint thomases in battersea, which is the prep school he is at, more of them are going to co—ed instead of single sex boys schools. his father and uncle went to eton, but children leaving saint thomases are now going to co—ed schools. there is now a push for children to be educated together rather than single sex schools. i think it's better because
9:54 am
thatis schools. i think it's better because that is where the world is. is that the way the world is?” that is where the world is. is that the way the world is? i think so. i think it's a logical way forward. apart from various religious reasons, i think it's the way forward. kate has a modern look on these things. she properly once the children to —— she properly watched george to go somewhere else instead of eton. we thought that maybe prince george will go to a state school, now wouldn't that be a story. david cameron, ithink school, now wouldn't that be a story. david cameron, i think he is one of the first conservative prime
9:55 am
ministers to send one of his children to a state school.” ministers to send one of his children to a state school. i would love it if it happens. arguably that there would be security concerns. it would be fantastic if that happens, but it's unlikely. good to talk to both of you. thank you for being with us. that is it. just a reminder, we will be taking a look at tamora's from pages as we do every evening, the night at 10:40pm. goodbye. some brighter warmer weather ahead of ophelia that will be tracking northwards towards the uk. it will northwards towards the uk. it will no longer be a hurricane when it arrives on monday. there is cloud
