very difficult to say what it is around. thank you, bob, for the latest from the scene. from bbc midlands today. six people have died. a bit ofa a bit of a disappointing afternoon across england and wales, area of low pressure moving slowly east. fairly breezy with the rain as it spreads east. behind it, skies brightening up nicely for scotland and northern ireland, despite the temperatures dropping, sunshine to compensate. cold in eastern parts, particularly east anglia. the rain will clear this evening and overnight it will be dry and clear with light winds. another chilly one. mist and fog too. we start off

monday on a fine and dry note, chilly but sunshine to compensate. cloud in the north and west. a bit breezier too. most places seeing single figures, on the poolside. it will be replaced by milder air over next ”m the headlines... iigfiifilfifi w after a multi—vehicle crash in birmingham. the incident, by the underpass at bristol road, involved several vehicles. the government wants to lower the age for automatic enrolment in company pension schemes from 22 to 18 in a move to offer more people financial security in retirement. south africa's governing anc is due to vote for a new leader today in a close contest that has exposed

deep divisions in the party. the world's steepest funicular railway opens in switzerland, climbing an incline so steep that specially constructed carriages are being used to enable passengers to stay upright. coming up in a few minutes, our sunday morning edition of the papers. this morning's reviewers are katy balls, political correspondent for the spectator, and journalist and broadcaster shyama perera. before the papers, sport — a full round up from the bbc sport centre. the cricket is not looking too good for us. something of an understatement, i'm afraid. i am the bearer of bad news this morning. england's hopes of retaining the ashes are fading fast. they must bat all day tomorrow if they're to avoid defeat in the third test in perth and snatch a draw to

keep the series alive. rain has stopped play towards the end of the fourth day england 132—4, one which started with australian wickets. mitchell marsh didn't add to his 181 overnight. and aussie captain steve smith was out for 239. australia declared on 662—9 — a lead of 259. in reply, england lost mark stoneman early on and then alastair cook went as well — caught and bowled byjosh hazelwood. james vince made a half century before he was bowled by a beauty by mitchell starc. defeat for england is looking likely and it would leave them 3—0 down and hand the ashes back to australia. manchester city showed their unstoppable best yesterday, thumping tottenham 4—1, to make it 16 wins in a row. manchester united can narrow the gap to the leaders later against west brom, but for now, city are 1a points clear at the top of the premier league. james burford was watching all of yesterday's action. the rain may be falling in

manchester but so are the records. this winning run that city are on, 16 games, is the longest in english top division history. tottenham are not used to being dismantled like this but no team seems impervious to pep guardiola's players. the boss knows his next target — beating the 19—game winning streak he managed at bayern munich. that's happened because i was with three amazing clubs. barcelona, bayern munich and this one. all three clubs, they support me and all the decisions we believe and they provide me outstanding players. without good players and club support, your ideas, it is impossible to achieve these kinds of things. such is being made of city's form, nobody seems to be noticing that chelsea won eight of their last ten. marcus alonso's winner against southampton set them level on points with second—placed manchester united. arsenal, meanwhile, made it 13 wins out 01:14 home games thanks to mesut ozil's rocket against newcastle. they drop into the bottom three without a win in nine premier league matches.

obviously, keep working this way. after, we can get the results, totally different. and then try to go to january and bring some addition and that will give a lift to the rest of the team. crystal palace, on the other hand, jump out of the relegation zone, scoring their first league away goal since april in a 3—0 win at leicester. roy hodgson battling through the pressure. someone in the spotlight is mark hughes — his position as stoke manager is under threat. the 3—0 defeat against west ham leaves his side hovering just two points above the relegation zone. who knows what records manchester city will break this season. it's not even christmas yet and already they are 1a points clear. they are looking unstoppable. aberdeen are up to second in the scottish premiership, narrowing the gap on leaders celtic to just two points. gary mackay—steven scored a hat—trick in their 4—1

victory over hibs, who hadn't lost at home since march. elsewhere, there were wins for dundee, hamilton, kilmarnock and stjohnstone who won in the league at ibrox for the first time since 1971. it's a pivotal weekend in rugby union's champions cup with the second of the pool stage double headers going some way to decide who will make the quarterfinals. bath got revenge for their late defeat to toulon last weekend by beating the french side 26—21 in a thrilling game at the rec. that win moves bath above their opponents to the top of pool 5. scarlets are back in contention to qualify from the same pool. they sit third, a point behind toulon, after beating benneton 31—12 in italy. premiership champions exeter have their work cut out to qualify after dropping to third in pool 3 after letting a 14—point lead slip at leinster. at one stage, the chiefs led 17—3, but luke mcgrath‘s late try sealed a comeback for the home

side in dublin. leinster stay top of the group and look sure to go through. britain's olympic and world champion adam peaty has won his fair share of medals in his time, and it would appear he's got so many he's happy to give a few away. after winning gold in the 100 metre breaststroke at the european short course championships. he took his gold medal over to a very lucky young girl in the crowd. an early christmas present for her. the event is being held in copenhagen. i wonder what she will do with it. give it to someone for christmas? or keep it. why not? that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, here's ben with the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us. with me are katy balls, of the spectator, and journalist

and broadcaster shyama perera. thank you very much for coming in. first, let's have a look at today's front pages. the observer leads on brexit, and warnings from tory peers that they will vote against the government in parliament if the prime minister tries to bully them into supporting an extreme version of leaving the eu. the sunday telegraph's front page features an article by the prime minister with a quote, "i've proved doubters wrong." and another of its stories highlights changes to company pensions and new government plans to reduce the automatic enrolment age from 22 to 18. in the sunday times, as well as their lead on borisjohnson's warning on brexit, there's a story on tuition fees, with the former universities minister, david willetts, saying he wants an urgent government review to scrap high interest rates on loan repayments. theresa may writes in the sunday express,

saying she will not be derailed from her duty to deliver the public‘s decision to leave the eu. the mail on sunday claims left—wing trolls sent abuse to the pregnant wife of a tory mp after he heckled jeremy corbyn over his age. let us start with the sunday telegraph, the prime minister, katy, i have proved the doubters wrong, in she has. the doubters after the election said she could only survive a few days. here she still is is. her victory comment piece after she has basically made it to christmas, touch wood, and after she was granted sufficient progress to move on to the second stage of the brexit talks, this is her saying, i have got through it, got through the first part of the negotiations, eve ryo ne first part of the negotiations,

everyone thought i would be gone. she also says, amid all the noise, we are getting on with the job. some of that noise has been brought by herself and the cabinet. yes! still a correct statement, they are making progress. a lot of people would not have gambled she would be here, she does look in a stronger position, i think, than a few weeks ago. despite the commons defeat the other day, shyama, at the hands of rebel mps, it has on the whole been a good few days. absolutely. she responded by saying, we will not be derailed from this fundamental duty to delivered the democratic will of the british people. it is obviously not being derailed if people are saying we should get a view. but it is a very robust statement from the prime minister in the sunday telegraph. for whoever is reading it, i guess they will be reassured. whenever the prime minister writes in a sunday

paper, so too it seems startled foreign secretary, arguably on manoeuvres again. “— foreign secretary, arguably on manoeuvres again. —— it seems does the foreign secretary. always fully supportive, backing up her vision! boris getting in ahead. this week is when the cabinet for the first time will start talking about what britain's end relationship with the eu should be. ahead of that meeting, boris has decided to tell the sunday times what he thinks the vision should be. iam not sure times what he thinks the vision should be. i am not sure theresa may will thank him. the idea being we should diverged from the eu rules. this will be 2018's discussion! not thejuiciest topic. this will be 2018's discussion! not the juiciest topic. breaking free from ray meat regulations, but it has risks —— from regulations. from ray meat regulations, but it has risks -- from regulations. to what extent should we be aligned with the eu? it is an interesting exercise, the whole brexit negotiation, in how diplomacy works because we are seeing it on the

front pages every day, the changing of the single word suddenly creating a new way of looking at something or somehow calming those who are getting into... creating a new way of looking at the same old, same old. when it said boris, i read it as wassle state, christmas statement... he does tend to have you reaching for your dictionary! his criticism of jeremy you reaching for your dictionary! his criticism ofjeremy corbyn did not quite work, hopefully will be more successful. i have forgotten what the definition of mugglewump was. the observer, call off the brexit bullies, the commons defeat the other day, the whips were

accused of being a little overzealous in their whipping to the extent they may have been bullying. absolutely. we note the 11 dissenters have all received death threats and allsorts of unpleasant things. this is two tory peers also writing in the observer, sol things. this is two tory peers also writing in the observer, so i do not know if mrs may and boris and the observer and the two baroness as we re observer and the two baroness as were hoping they would get a newspaper to edit when they leave, but they are writing that the resulting appalling insult from brexiteers calls for the expulsion from the party and even death threats are worrying symptoms of the toxic atmosphere which has been created in our country. harriet harman will be introducing it in the commons tomorrow. she will be calling for some action to be taken. the question is, what and how? that is the modern atmosphere in which politics is played out, not only the

whips, but social media, in a sense, and some of the very virulent attacks politicians now are on the end of. yeah, not only in this story, in the story on the front of the mail on sunday, abuse from jeremy corbyn supporters... this is not the majority of people and the majority of people are not online trolls but there is a space for them and there is this vitriol which you do not see or it used to be a letter to the mp that they were not shown. now they are confronted with it co nsta ntly. now they are confronted with it constantly. it is tricky what the labour leadership, what the government can do. but they can send a clear message it is not ok which is what they are asking theresa may to do. it is terrifying that it comes into your personal space, that is the difference, your phone is attached to your body, almost. if you look on social media and the on twitter receiving horrible threats, it feels like someone is right in

your face, that is the difference. if you are politician, you cannot cut yourself off from social media, ignore it, say, i am cut yourself off from social media, ignore it, say, iam not cut yourself off from social media, ignore it, say, i am not to be on twitter. then you will be accused of being behind on social media which the conservatives are already accused. nigel farage, shyama, still sort of on brexit, claiming he is skint. poor nigel. no money in politics. he is going slightly off the brexit theme, he says he has separated and is skint at 53. after 24 years, he is really not earning enough from politics. of course, we forget he has been an mep. we forgot all about meps until nigel farage started asking for us to leave europe. i think this is a story about a man on the brink of divorce. therefore, he is utterly panicked because he will have to hand over half of his doings to his mrs. it

says he has a 4 million sperm town house. let us say in london at the moment prices are so down, no matter what the papers say, it will only go for 3 million, so nigel will only get1.5 for 3 million, so nigel will only get 1.5 million, for 3 million, so nigel will only get1.5 million, and for 3 million, so nigel will only get 1.5 million, and by those standards, he probably is skint, quite frankly. are you feeling sorry, is your heart bleeding for nigel farage? he also played a role in losing one of hisjobs because it is hard to see how he will continue as an mep, so maybe he needs to have as an mep, so maybe he needs to have a think about that. he gave himself the warnings and sacked himself! an interesting story today about teenagers and whether they should be saving in pension schemes from their first day at work, the idea of reducing that age from 22 to 18. some 18—year—olds will be saying, why do i need to think about a pension? i think this is great news because it is one of those things we re because it is one of those things were although you probably do not

think you should be saving for your pension, if it comes out before you get paid, you do not really notice, thatis get paid, you do not really notice, that is how i have found with this and my student loan. it is quite terrifying when you think about it, by the time i get to the age of retiring, i will not hazard a guess at what age that will be, there will be... the state pension, you do not know what it will be. whenever i speak to my friends, i asked them what kind of... great chat at a party! percentage of the salary, the 196, if party! percentage of the salary, the 1%, if your employer will matched that, the best thing to be doing.“ that, the best thing to be doing.“ that what you talk about at parties? sometimes i am alone in the corner, weird. is there a problem getting younger people to save? they have very little money left in their pay packet to say. i have two adult daughters a little bit younger than

katy and they are in the jobs market and they can barely make ends meet with paying student loans, masters loans, bits and bobs. this is a brilliant thing to do. even from our age group, when i was there age, i was earning enough and i imagined that was absolutely... the state pension would be more than enough to maintain the lifestyle i had. you forget as you get older, you have children, homes, other things, forget as you get older, you have children, homes, otherthings, which asa children, homes, otherthings, which as a pensioner, you still need to maintain. let us get them all saving as much as is humanly possible. we had the rental memorial service at st paul's, very moving, six months on from the terrible disaster —— the g re nfell on from the terrible disaster —— the grenfell memorial service. steve mcqueen is going to make a film tribute to the victims of grenfell tower. it is going to involve a helicopter going over the building,

starting this week, while at his there, taking footage. they are saying it will be exhibited but not further two years, part of the reason being, still an inquiry ongoing and all of their residence in the area have been notified because obviously it is such a sensitive issue and will be four yea rs sensitive issue and will be four years to come. do you think it is worth more memorial, shyama?” years to come. do you think it is worth more memorial, shyama? i do. i think it is wonderful steve mcqueen is funding it himself which says an awful lot, a white city buy, from just down the road, we are both within spitting distance, you are closer than me, katy, and it is wonderful to know it will live on in some way. let us go on to the telegraph, a story about amazon, questions about whether they can deliver their parcels on time, really. amazon prime, it is supposed to be the super fast delivery

option, you to be the super fast delivery y°u pay to be the super fast delivery a to be the super fast delivery option, you pay a premium. you pay a bit extra. lots of people ordering stuff in time for christmas, missing the deadline. the good news is christmas... i have not started christmas... i have not started christmas shopping yet. nor have i! as you get closer, if people are going to make the deadline, there is an inquiry going, but people will not shop with them. i am a member of amazon prime. it is quite expensive. £79 a year and it promises delivery within two days. when it works, it really does work. you can do something and have it delivered the same day if you order early enough, if you think of it as a saving of your own time, even if you any charge yourself the minimum wage, £79 is a day off work, isn't it? it saves you so much because you do not need to use your own time. but it is not working. we should go back to

traditional shopping perhaps.“ not working. we should go back to traditional shopping perhaps. if you wa nt to traditional shopping perhaps. if you want to be sure, go and buy it yourself. go into a shop. what kind of concept is that? let us end with strictly, we started with brexit, ending with strictly, the winner, the start of holby city, joe mcfadden. are you a fan?|j the start of holby city, joe mcfadden. are you a fan? i am not. from what i can tell, i had it on the television last night, i did see a bit... you had it on but you were not watching? two screams. he looked very surprised. a good sign, it is not just about whether you are a very surprised. a good sign, it is notjust about whether you are a fan favourite in terms of how popular you are before you do it, not the best dancer... i watch it vicariously through goggle box.

brexit to strictly, you said as if it was a non sequitur, but if theresa may and the cabinet could get but she and right, put on the right costumes, brexit would happen more easily. there is a lot to be learned for choosing the moment, the rhythm, the steps. i am loving the analogy! it is all about intelligent thinking. i have a vision of theresa may and jean—claude juncker on strictly together. wonderful. what would they dance? the tanker. something slinky. theresa and boris. fiery! the oldest winner, 42, the old est fiery! the oldest winner, 42, the oldest winner of strictly. that sounds quite young. it does to me. debbie mcgee, 59, one of the finalists, she has really been showing her stripes. she has

actually been showing everything! she has been brilliant. it has been a really good year for the oldies.|j cannot believe you said... you hinted he might be 59! i could not believe that is true. so good to have you with us. thank you, shyama and katy. that is it from the papers. we take a look at tomorrow's front pages every evening on bbc news, at10:40pm. front pages every evening on bbc news, at 10:40pm. goodbye front pages every evening on bbc news, at10:40pm. goodbye to front pages every evening on bbc news, at 10:40pm. goodbye to my guests. a chilly start across central and eastern parts of the country with mist and fog around. further west, different story, outbreaks of rain, slightly milder. the rain band will continue east through the afternoon.
