minutes our sunday morning edition of the papers — this morning's reviewers are prashant rao from the new york times and cityam's rachel cunliffe. before the papers, sport and for a full round up, let's cross to the bbc sport centre. we will start with a premier league. all of the bottom stoke came away with a point against liverpool. the fight goes on for another week. darren moore's escape plan for west bromwich albion is coming together, but could it be too little, too late?
9:32 am
well, they won't go down without trying. matthew phillips sealed all three points for the baggies at newcastle. eight points from their last four matches now, but the boss is taking one game at a time. we've all played a part in getting that result today. it's another week of hard work what we have shown and together, we've all earnt a good result today and everybody can share in it. and they weren't the only big winners on the bottom of the table. southampton edged closer to jumping out of the bottom three with a 2—1 win over south coast neighbours bournemouth. commentator: here's dusan tadic! tadic, great finish! and dusan tadic has scored again! paul lambert could do with finishing like that if stoke are to make it 10 consecutive seasons in the top flight. their best chance away at liverpool fell to ryan shawcross. a draw the best they could do. survival for now still a possibility. all i wanted was a chance to go into the last few games with a chance and hopefully if results go our way then, then it's not for the faint—hearted, that's for sure, but we're in the fight and i'll take a fight with anything and so will the lads. we'll be ready next saturday.
9:33 am
that result gave carlos carvalhal‘s swansea a chance to put some distance between them and the bottom three. chelsea, though, have their own ambitions at the other end of the table. cesc fabregas gave them an early lead and swansea couldn't fight back. tom carroll! oh, just wide! oh, it's a nerve—jangling spring for swansea city supporters. crystal palace fans will sleep a lot easier, though. a 5—0 row win over leicester city virtually guarantees their safety for another season as the race to stay in the premier league goes down to the wire. alex gulrajani, bbc news. today, both manchester clubs are in action. here are the fixtures. it could be a huge day

9:34 am
for manchester city and chelsea's women's teams, who are aiming to reach the final of the champions league for the first time. 0ur women's football reporter jo currie is in lyon ahead of city's match this afternoon. jo, it's 0—0 after the first leg. city coming to this second leg having gained a credible goalless draw in the home leg last weekend, largely thanks to a brilliant defensive display from manchester city and not least due to to the number of saves karen bardsley made, including a last ditch effort in 89th minute. 0—0 today, but let me put it into context. leon are the defending champions and they going for their third consecutive title they are widely regarded as the best team the world. —— lyon. the manager says he feels it could be manchester city's time to get into the tie
9:35 am
and win the whole competition. for them to do that, they will need to have the game of their lives this afternoon and i think he is right. day nine of the world snooker championship gets on today. there was some argy bargy at the crucible as ali carter knocked out the five time champion ronnie 0'sullivan. what started as an innocuous looking bump of shoulders during a shot quickly escalated into a bit of handbags. have a listen to this. thank you very much. very nice of you. stop being angry at me.
9:36 am
alright fellas. just play on, yeah? i'm cool. cool as a cucumber. well it didn't distract carter too much, he went on to win by 13 frames to 9, only his second win over 0'sullivan in 17 previous meetings between the pair. and he enjoyed it, too. afterwards, ronnie brushed off any controversy, saying it's all overplayed because of his standing in the sport. both secure therefore try bonus by half—time. both secure therefore try bonus by half-time. they won the game 40 3-20, half-time. they won the game 40 3—20, ending gloucester‘s chances. exeter finished top of the premiership and london irish were relegated following will stoke's win over harlequins. edinburgh beat
9:37 am
glasgow at murrayfield. the visitors took the lead through their record try scorer, who scored twice on his 100th appearance. edinburgh hit back before the third try. great britain have been promoted to the top flight of world ice hockey for the first time in 25 years. it was a dramatic end to the game as britain came from two nil down against hosts hungary — robert farmer scoring the all important goal 15 seconds before the end to secure promotion and a gold medal. they began the tournament ranked 24th in the world, but next year will play the likes of canada, russia and sweden as they will be part of the sports elite. that is all the sport. here is better now with all the papers. hello and welcome to our look at the sunday papers.
9:38 am
with me are prashant rao, deputy europe business editor from the international new york times and rachel cunliffe, comment and features editor at cityam. first let's take a quick look at the front pages. the observer leads with london mayor sadiq khan, calling for the home secretary to resign over what he says is her "inhumane treatment" of immigrants. the mail on sunday reports on allegations regarding the tory mp charlie elphicke. he denies any wrongdoing. the sunday telegraph's front page includes the news that asda and sainsbury‘s are in talks about a merger. the sunday times claims russia used the internet to try and influence the result of last year's snap election in jeremy corbyn‘s favour. and the sunday express says an sas solider and his wife stood in as prince harry and meghan markle during a secret security rehearsal for their wedding. so a mixture of stories on the front pages, let's have a closer look. rachel, why don't we start with the
9:39 am
0bserver. they have sadiq khan, the latest person calling on amber rudd to resign. the headline says the crisis threatens tory poll hopes. has this windrush row become politicised? it has not been a good week for amber rudd. it's fallen into labour's hands, especially with the local elections coming up. sadiq khan is the poster boy for the child of immigrants who has made a success and he exemplifies the multiculturalism of london. ifeel sorry for amber rudd. she is one of
9:40 am
the more liberal in the party when it comes to immigration and this crisis and this policy is the direct result of theresa may's tenure as home secretary. labour knows this and calls for her to resign play well with the elections coming up, but they have to be careful because if she resigns, there is no one in line to take the job in the cabin at the would be more moderate on immigration, so it could backfire. and also on brexit. there is a brexit balance within the cabinet and that might be one reason why she has not lost her job and that might be one reason why she has not lost herjob because theresa may needs to keep that. and she is a high profile woman as well. labour need to damage her, but not so much that she resigns. she will make a statement in the commons, but will she keep her job? statement in the commons, but will she keep herjob? whether she keeps herjob or not is the result of several factors, not all of which
9:41 am
have to do with this controversy in itself. there is the fact that the brexit balance, the fact she is in a marginal constituency on her own, all of these things. and whether or not they still need a moderate voice oi'i not they still need a moderate voice on immigration, home affairs and brexit in the cabinet. i think she will probably make it through, but who knows? people said the home 0ffice who knows? people said the home office is notoriously difficult. it's a complex and huge department and there are unexploded grenades all over the place. in the united states and american president asked a friend of his to become the secretary of the interior which is not quite comparable, but similar. the person who was asked, when he put down the phone, he started crying. it's a difficult department to manage. there are innumerable challenges. you are right, i don't envy her, it's a tough thing she's
9:42 am
going through. and we heard what sadiq khan has been saying. in the sunday telegraph they focus on sajid javid, him saying his family came from pakistan in the 60s. it could have been made, it could have been my mum oi’ have been made, it could have been my mum or dad. that is quite a personal account. it is and it's important. sajid javid and sadiq khan are both children of immigrants, butare khan are both children of immigrants, but are from different parties. this intervention is important because he is reminding ethnic minority communities that there was a place for them in the tory party. he is a very high profile conservative, while he was in david cameron's the men anyway. there was a place for people who wa nt to there was a place for people who want to come here and work hard, the aspirational side of the conservative party, but the fact he has the come out and effectively
9:43 am
criticise his own party... although he says the government is dealing with it. but making it so personal, it could have been me, it is a criticism of amber rudd and theresa may. all the things that theresa may is dealing with now as prime minister other thing she did not deal with as home secretary. her former adviser claimed she knew nothing about this, creating a hostile environment for migrants. some will say it was the result of public pressure to cut down on immigration. public sentiment swears policies and you end up with things that look and sound good at the time but will become problems later on. how significant is this intervention from sajid javid? does it make
9:44 am
things tougher or easier for amber rudd? there is a political dimension to this. it's a significant intervention. there is a broader conversation that this is triggering with, as you say, the son of an immigrant saying, this could have been me. what is interesting is how much the reaction to the story has been seeing this community from the caribbean as being inherently british. we should not forget that. this is a british community and they should be treated as people who are british. the fact that sajid javid is coming out and saying that people
9:45 am
of pakistani descent are also british highlights a bigger picture of how it's generally been dealt with. let's move on. the sunday telegraph, it's what dominated the news yesterday, the prospect of a merger between sainsbury‘s and asda. will it happen? there was a high probability it will happen. people are saying that stores will close and it shouldn't happen, but it won't sway anyone. it's a £15 billion merger and if it succeeds, sainsbury‘s and asda will have almost a third of the uk retail market. there is a competition market. there is a competition market here. people are worried about shops closing and job losses, but the traditional giants are facing pressure from online retailers such as amazon who are moving into foods, and i think the
9:46 am
real competition for supermarkets will come from the online giants may be. they have moved into everything else. they have moved into banking and they will move into bread and twists. prashant you are our business expert. —— add into crisps. it's hard to be a bricks and mortar retailer. the british supermarket industry is competitive and it's ha rd industry is competitive and it's hard to be in the middle of it. aldi have succeeded because they are cut—price. waitrose has the reputation of being upmarket. whether that bears out in pricing is up whether that bears out in pricing is up for debate, but sainsbury's and tesco are in the middle. what they
9:47 am
are struggling with is who they are in the pricing spectrum? amazon are new and are just establishing themselves. so where does everyone get place? themselves. so where does everyone get place ? they themselves. so where does everyone get place? they can get bigger, but who are they trying to attract with this kind of merger? and they are quite different in the kind of markets they have gone full. as that is cheap and good value where as sainsbury's are trying to go higher end. we have the sunday times exposure. russians tried to swing the election for corbyn. i suppose some people might say that is not hugely surprising, but what is your view? we know the russians have been put it to —— have been politically active with cyber warfare and so on. time will tell. the sample is not
9:48 am
enormous, it is a 20,000 tweets sample which is an afternoon for some of us. the united states has been going through the russians meddling or not meddling in the election. developing countries will argue this is happen to them for a long time and it's something that britain has the come to terms with. damian collins is running an interesting investigation with parliament into the regulation of fa ke parliament into the regulation of fake news and the regulation or lack thereof of social media companies, perturbing the chief culprit. —— twitter being the chief culprit. may
9:49 am
facing cabinet revolt. this is the cabinet and brussels trying to fudge theissue cabinet and brussels trying to fudge the issue of the customs union. we won't be in the customs union, it won't be in the customs union, it won't be in a customs union, but we will be in a customs partnership so we can have tariff free trade with the eu, but we would collect the ta riffs the eu, but we would collect the tariffs on goods that coming to the uk. basically, it's a very complicated. you could call it a customised customs union. i'm surprised no 1's done that yet. behar brexiteers think it will not work and they think it's a way to get closer to a softer brexit, a customs union with the eu when the government has explicitly said it will not do that. there are up calls to sack the chief brexit negotiator
9:50 am
oliver robins. there are great quotes in this. when prime ministers start following the advice unelected advisers, trouble follows. this is our hatred of experts and distrust of officials all over again, but if you have a brexit negotiator, they have to have the trust of the people they are negotiating for can't do theirjobs. let's move on to the sunday telegraph, reporting news of the sad death of alfie and the pitcher of balloons. but did you make of that? it got huge amounts of coverage. it's a really difficult one to think about. there was no treatment for this child. i think
9:51 am
it's the 1989 children at that allows the state to intervene to protect the child effectively from their parents. i don't know what more could have been done. what has been disheartening if the vitriol directed towards the hospital. nurses and doctors there have been doing theirjobs nurses and doctors there have been doing their jobs under very difficult circumstances. that has been hard to look at. and from an american angle, it's always frustrating and depressing to watch some of the pro—life anti—universal health care some of the pro—life anti—universal health ca re protesters some of the pro—life anti—universal health care protesters putting out state m e nts health care protesters putting out statements about the uk government killing children. very heart—wrenching. we have the mail on
9:52 am
sunday and violent crime has so much —— has been so much in the headlines, stabbings, shooting beat—macro shootings, especially in london. this one focuses on the nephew of liz hurley. the number of stabbings has been well publicised and the murder rate is higher in london and new york. we need to get to the complexity of what is happening in london. this is something also that the home office are being criticised over because police officers. it's interesting to look at this one case. sometimes we get lost in statistics of what is a complicated issue. her nephew in this piece saying he was millimetres
9:53 am
from death. rachel, do you think it isa from death. rachel, do you think it is a story worth highlighting? the reason the story is in the paper is because of who his aunt is, but giving a more personal account of theissueis giving a more personal account of the issue is important. it shows that this is high profile. the narrative has not changed, but with the crime figures and all the stabbings on new year's day, we will be looking for more personal accou nts be looking for more personal accounts as policies have struggled to keep up. will end with the sun on sunday. showbiz exclusive. and from antand sunday. showbiz exclusive. and from ant and deck is out of rehab after that big fine for drink—driving. are you afan? —— antand
9:54 am
—— ant and dec. -- ant and dec. i'm not a huge fan, but we are glad he is out of rehab. we are both big animal lovers. he is petting dogs and going for a walk in the park. but talking about addiction in a more nuanced way. it's a disease and it's important that people get treatment. it seems that people get treatment. it seems that the narrative is his personal redemption. he could have killed an entire family and now it's about how he is recovering. he has been punished with a very large fine. as you would expect, but i don't think we necessarily need to see pictures of him walking around petting dogs. it's not helpful. but he is a national celebrity. if i was more of a dog person, i'd probably be on

board. thank you both. that is it from the don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you, seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. there is widespread heavy and persistent rain and gale force winds for parts of central and eastern england tomorrow. today seems relatively quiet. a good deal of sunny breaks through the cloud across scotland, northern ireland, northern, western england and wales with this afternoon. a few showers dotted around here and there, it's not going to be completely dry. most of you though will stay that way. across parts of southern england, east anglia and the midlands however it's staying grey at the moment with patchy rain and drizzle,
9:56 am
but by the end of the day, will seek more persistent rain in the channel islands and the far south—east. temperatures in the cloudy spots still in single figures. 13 degrees if you get any sunshine. the big game changer though comes tonight. this area of low pressure pushing its way up from france and that means for monday in central and eastern england in particular heavy persistent rain, increasing risk of some minor flooding, strong to go. winds will bring some rough seas around the coast and could bring some debris and transport disruption inland as well. so here we go to get us into tomorrow then. the rain developing towards that south—east corner of the uk with the strengthening winds. away from that, the further away you get, the lighter the winds and the clearer the skies will be. for scotland, northern ireland and maybe some western parts of wales the touch of frost around into the start of tomorrow morning. and these are the areas where not only do we start tomorrow dry and sunny, it'll stay that way all day long. eastern wales and much of england though plenty of cloud and if you focus on that rain area, here it is for the morning rush—hour. lincolnshire, east anglia, through the south east towards the channel islands, winds gusting in excess of 50 miles an hour. they will continue all day long. the rain will be heavy and persistent as well.
