fade. quite a mug you the shower was fade. quite a mug you start for the morning to need. on monday a good deal greyer across parts of eastern england in particular. southern and western areas will see sunshine break through any clout that forms. one or two showers here, chiefly in northern ireland. we'll see temperatures into the 20 again but a cooler day down the eastern coast. temperatures tomorrow only in the mid teens. we've got a more north—easterly flow to take us through monday and into tuesday. what will happen compared with monday, on tuesday will start to drag in this dry airfrom scandinavia. after lots of crowd on monday, a lot more sunshine in scotla nd monday, a lot more sunshine in scotland on tuesday even if the breeze will be cooler. that sunshine breaking through the clouds and the rest of scotland, northern ireland, northern england, wales and the midlands, maybe even east anglia. a few isolated showers towards the west and temperatures generally mid to high teens, low 20s. not as hot
9:31 am
as last week but very pleasant when the sun shines. good sunny spells to ta ke the sun shines. good sunny spells to take us through the week but increasing risk of one or two showers. this is bbc news with ben brown — our latest headlines. on london bridge and borough market — a special service will be held at southwark cathedral to remember those who were killed and injured. the government says it believes the uk will face a severe threat from islamist terrorism for at least another two years. g7 finance ministers have urged their american counterparts to pass on their "unanimous concern and disappointment" to president trump about new us import tariffs on steel and aluminium. the church is campaigning to root out the exploitation of workers at car washes who are trapped

9:33 am
the task for england is to replicate their form in friendlies when it matters most. this squad is low on age and experience, an exception being gary cahill, and the defender used his 32—year—old head to full effect to bring the home side into an early lead. shortly before half—time it was two, harry kane leading by example. the captain, you sense, will prove key to england's ambitions. nigeria had been obliging opponents, but after the break they broke. alex iwobi on hand to give them hope, showing why the super eagles believe they can soar this summer. england had lost the momentum and raheem sterling his footing, after a week in which he made headlines for the wrong reasons. another moment for the forward to forget. ultimately, however, for gareth southgate and his tournament—bound team, it was a job well done. spirits are high, the training has been fantastic. everybody‘s at a very high level. we've had some great fitness over the last couple of weeks in training. yeah, just looking forward to getting out there, you know? a lot of competition for places and that always makes a good squad. a couple more weeks and we'll be there.
9:34 am
england's attention now turns to their final warm—up game against costa rica on thursday. then it's the real thing, the true test of their credentials. england will be desperate to deliver. scotla nd scotland won 1—0. england went into the second test against pakistan with a lead but didn't have it all the own way, they lost captainjoe root just short of the own way, they lost captainjoe rootjust short of his half—century, a night watchman had fun but felt one run short of his half—century in only his second test. dawid malan
9:35 am
went for 28. jos buttler is batting at the moment with the debutant sam curran who played a few shots and they will start in about 90 minutes' time. no more british players left in the french open after kyle edmund lost in five sets, italian fabio fognini beat him. our correspondent was watching. the second time in 12 months that one has just got away from kyle edmund in the third round at the french open, he lost from two sets to one against kevin anderson in the third round last year, losing a tight final set 6—4 and history repeated itself against fabio fognini. there will be frustration because it is his best surface. he could've won a match that he the result was in doubt until the end, the italian played it clever game
9:36 am
and put pressure on the british number one. if kyle edmund looks back at his clay—court as a whole he will see great progress committee reached his first masters 1000 quarterfinal in madrid, he won doubles title in estoril and he reached his first atp singles final in marrakesh. now for the grass. the only surface so far in which he has not shown is what he is truly capable of. this wasn't my day. yet, fish oil, had my chances, he had his, hejust got fish oil, had my chances, he had his, he just got them today —— for sure, i had my chances. it is over 110w. sure, i had my chances. it is over now. just sort of reflect a bit and go again the grass court season. elsewhere serena williams continued this comeback, in herfirst grand slam since having her baby she beat julia georges and looks forward to the next tie against her old rival
9:37 am
maria sharapova. maria sharapova beat karolina pliskova in straight sets. in the men's tour top seed rafael nadal had a comfortable straight sets win over richard gasquet to reach the fourth round, he has been ten times french champion and he made a ball by‘s day by warming down with him before leaving the court. lovely stuff. but young boys has a decent back and! wales begin their summer tour of north and south america with a 22—20 win over south africa in washington, dc. they did it without any of the english —based players, who couldn't play because of a row with premiership rugby masses but they did not need them. —— premiership by did not need them. —— premiership rugby bosses. we have got the win after a mistake by south africa. next weekend they will face argentina. in rugby league warrington wolves into the semifinals of the challenge cup after beating wigan warriors. warrington scored three first half
9:38 am
tries and then patton rounded off the scoring so they could win 23—0. the first time warrington have beaten wigan at home in the competition since 1936. st helens plague hull fc later, that will be live on bbc two at three o'clock. now some golf. justin rose has the chance to become the golf world number one if he wins the memorial tournament in all hi all. justin rose won last week at the fort worth invitational and will be the world number one if he wins here. he made six birdies the scrappy finish which meant he finished with a three under 69. he's one ahead of tiger woods who got four birdies and an eagle in a four under who got four birdies and an eagle in afourunder par who got four birdies and an eagle in a four under par round of 68. but the round of the day was by rory mcilroy. look at this from the bunker. a bogey free round of eight under par including this eagle. in it goes, he's tied for 11th going into the final round. that's all the
9:39 am
sport for now. now on bbc one it is time for the papers. hello and welcome to our look at the sunday papers. with me are the sunday times' sian griffiths and ben chu from the independent. welcome to you both, thank you for being with us. let's look at the front pages. the observer leads with a warning from a major conservative party donor that michael gove should be installed as the new tory leader, because theresa may has shown that she cannot "carry brexit through". the sunday times also leads on brexit with details of a government plan for a "doomsday no—deal brexit" that claims britain would be hit with shortages of medicine,
9:40 am
fuel and food. the sunday telegraph pictures the queen on derby day, also marking the 65th anniversary of her coronation, the paper also reports on comments from priti patel that the conservatives are abandoning their position as the party of meritocracy. the sunday mirror has details of a murder probe into a british man who was found dead last september in the desert 75 miles from his home in new mexico. and, back from the dead — the mail on sunday claims to have found a key witness in the jeremy thorpe affair who police assumed was no longer living. so let's talk through the papers. thejeremy so let's talk through the papers. the jeremy thorpe story, which so let's talk through the papers. thejeremy thorpe story, which has enthralled tv viewers with the dramatisation with hugh grant playing mr thorpe. it seems that real life is as extraordinary as the
9:41 am
fictionalised version of real life, if you like. because there are new twists and turns in the affair. fa cey twists and turns in the affair. facey truth is stranger than fiction. it seems that the fiction has made the truth even stranger in this case. where to begin with this saga. the case has been opened once more because the person who is have alleged to have tried to assassinate jeremy thorpe's lover to hush it up, eve ryo ne jeremy thorpe's lover to hush it up, everyone thought he was dead. the gwent police who investigated in 2015 thought he was dead, now it turns out that he may be alive, the case has been reopened and the press we re case has been reopened and the press were apparently converging on this place in surrey where this man, andrew newton, has been living. it does not seem that anyone managed to speak to him but this seems to be with the police will be directing the inquiries next to find out what
9:42 am
exactly happened. you couldn't make it up because tonight with got the third and final instalment, i don't know if you have been watching this drama but it has been gripping. i'd have loved it. it's called a very english scandal. now it's all over the papers as well. indeed. my colleagues were ringing around trying to find andrew newton. there is an astonishing photo of him in the mail on sunday and also in the sunday times wiki is dressed in not very much at a fetish party. one of those photographs, when you see it in the sunday papers you think, gosh! one of the things that i find, it seems extraordinary that all this took place in the 70s. , sexuality was illegal then. jeremy thorpe had an affair with norman scott. ——, sexuality ——
9:43 am
an affair with norman scott. ——, sexuality — — it an affair with norman scott. ——, sexuality —— it was illegal to be 95v sexuality —— it was illegal to be gay back then. it seems strange that it was only 30 years ago that it could be illegal and british politicians felt they could not be open about their sexuality. it is sad, almost like a shaggy dog story with twists and twists and now the possibility of the police reopening the whole investigation in case there was a cover—up. it is driven by something fundamental. allegations of a cover—up then back in the 70s have persisted. that is what i find interesting, the cover—up and also, in 2015, gwent police say this man is dead so we are closing the investigation. there we re are closing the investigation. there were no issues about being gay being illegally in 2015. why is the cover—up apparently still going on up cover—up apparently still going on up to three years ago. what is going on that journalists up to three years ago. what is going on thatjournalists could find this man within hours and the gwent
9:44 am
police, i would like to get to the bottom of it. have you found it interesting that the chapter of modern history has been reopened, i remember living through it and thinking it was quite extraordinary. lacey i found it fascinating. and the acting is so brilliant, hugh grant playing jeremy thorpe and ben whishaw playing norman scott, it's brilliant. and so very english. there a kind of dad's army feel about whole thing. there is one scene where norman scott's dog, the great dane, gets shot. the lighting, the homes, the english countryside, norman scott running away, and this dog, it's fantastic, i urge everyone
9:45 am
to watch it tonight. let's move back to watch it tonight. let's move back to brexit, as so often it dominates the front pages as it does with the sunday times today. they say plans have been revealed for a doomsday no deal brexit. apparently there's this interministerial group on preparedness which has been presented with this doomsday scenario, if the uk leaves the eu in march 2019 with no deal, what will actually happen. and this spells out what is pretty much been in the public domain and how long it will be and how bad it will be, who'd cannot get through, flights will be grounded, huge tailbacks, we knew all this, but ministers are a p pa re ntly all this, but ministers are apparently being shown it. some people in the civil service, maybe evenin people in the civil service, maybe even in government, are concerned that people are getting the message
9:46 am
that people are getting the message that this will happen. how likely is no deal brexit, sian? we talked about this earlier. we don't believe there will be no deal brexit. this is being dismissed as project fear, with no substance in these claims, iain duncan smith says that people are claiming that dover will close down, we should be prepared for what happens if there is no deal, scaring each other, but it is not far away, we don't seem to have hammered out any details on what it will do. another story in the observer that theresa may will not be delighted with. it says she should be replaced by michael gove! if you look at this
9:47 am
advice, this man is a hedge fund manager and was a prominent brexiteer and apparently made a lot of money on the night of the brexit vote, because he bet that the markets would fall. despite being in favour of brexit he thought it would be very bad for the pound. so he made a killing. and now he is saying that theresa mayjust isn't cutting it. not hardline it's time to get a true believer like michael gove in the prime ministers place. whether you regard someone the prime ministers place. whether you regard someone like that as a credible and authoritative source of advice and whatnot... so many people said that theresa may should be replaced with someone or other when people were not sure she could last
9:48 am
days or weeks or months but she is still here. these stories come out regularly, yet she keeps on in there. people will find it hard to forget that michael gove is doing a good job as environment secretary with stories on plastics making the news but he ran for leader on the same day as borisjohnson news but he ran for leader on the same day as boris johnson and news but he ran for leader on the same day as borisjohnson and david cameron went, and he was supposed to be one of borisjohnson's team. people will not forget that. it's not long ago that they were accusing him of betrayal and so on. backstabbing and fun stabbing! let's talk about the tories some more. a p pa re ntly talk about the tories some more. apparently they are no longer the party of meritocracy. it's the same
9:49 am
sort of complaint, isn't it, as regards brexit, too much talk about doomsday, not enough talk about sunny uplands and opportunities. people have said this since day one. people have said this since day one. people are saying, we don't want to go about complications and detail, we just want to cure about what will happen, we do need to talk about people because these are livelihoods on the line. we heard about this in the david cameron era, it was supposed to be all posh boys, but even in the era of theresa may when the conservatives were supposed to be a more meritocratic party, some might argue that the fact that she is no longer in the cabinet is their idea
9:50 am
of it not being a meritocracy. it might be sour grapes. of course she was sacked by theresa may for talking secretly to the israelis and not letting the government know. perhaps there is an axe to grind. another story, scotland yard allegedly wasting £10 million and leadership training. i'm interested, it says that the metropolitan police has been accused of wasting money on a leadership training programme is the crime rate is soaring. i think it's the soaring crime rate that is the interesting bit. when you have 10,000 officers attending five days worth of training and taking tests to tell them what colour their personality is, we have a crime rate which in london in particular is causing immense fear among people. we've got young children carrying knives to schools, we have stabbings
9:51 am
almost every day, and we have gang warfare over drugs. and i think increasingly we are getting a sense that people feel that the streets may not be safe. is that stand to police numbers? that's always the debate. some people say it is and some say people are now too scared to go into these places, but certainly we need more police on the streets. i think there is a sense among parents who have started keeping their children in coming in some parts of london at night, they don't let them out to play in the streets, there's a real sense of concern, streets, there's a real sense of concern, i have lived in london for a long time and i have not seen this before. another interesting story in the sunday times on page nine, i think, i'lljust find the sunday times on page nine, i think, i'll just find it. the sunday times on page nine, i think, i'lljust find it. it's about apple. les apple a day keeps the
9:52 am
doctor away! tell us about that! essentially if you are locked out of your iphone, or apps, essentially if you are locked out of your iphone, orapps, it's essentially if you are locked out of your iphone, or apps, it's on health grounds. we all know how often we look at firms. americans spend about six hours a day doing it. tim cook the chief executive of apple says, they don't necessarily want people to be addicted to their devices. so they are going to bring in lock timeout features, the ability for people to deny themselves the use of their technology. i really like this. i can definitely see myself installing something like that and using it. on social media for example. he says he doesn't want his young nephew to be on social media all the time. it is a good example
9:53 am
of someone not being a hypocrite, he doesn't want his nephew to do it. so he want to do it himself. it'sjust another piece of software that they can sell. you can adjust your settings, so they will make some money out of that. schools are having mobile fasts, they are confiscating mobile phones for a whole week, to see how the kids cope, they are having lessons for pa rents, cope, they are having lessons for parents, telling them to make sure that their children don't use the phone after nine o'clock to get a good nights sleep and parents are being asked to look at their own usage. and how should we be good
9:54 am
role models, if we are on the phone six hours a day how will they not be. screen addiction can cause isolation and stressed and depressed in and people and this is a worry. we never see the queen on her phone. a nice picture of the queen on derby day, sunshine and flowers, the 65th anniversary of her coronation, were you following events at the derby, ben? to some degree. it shows you how rich horse racing is that the underdog in the race yesterday was a horse owned by an arab ruler. 16—1 masar was the winner, beating the favourite saxon warrior which was owned by the irish stable and it was huge upset. so maybe that is what the queen was looking cheerful about
9:55 am
when the picture was taken. we were wondering, have we seen the queen wearing sunglasses before? i can't remember that. she looks great. and look at the other queen who was also at the derby. these are giving the sunday papers fabulous front pages, women wearing gorgeous frocks and the queen wearing sunglasses. she did wear sunglasses to drive away from the royal wedding as well. i suspect they had an umbrella tucked away. great to talk to you both, bengali and sian, thank you both for reviewing the newspapers. you can see the front pages of the newspapers on our website seven days a week. it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc dot co uk
9:56 am

ireland, still damp and grey across southern scotland and the far north of england. some showers could break out elsewhere in northern england that very isolated ones elsewhere to england and wales. but most places should finish the day dry. north—east scotland and eastern england, smut that should become the dominant weather story as the low cloud rolls in of the north sea and bush ‘s west. clear skies at the west is showers fade and temperatures are most into double figures on monday morning. quite a muqqy figures on monday morning. quite a muggy start for the commute. monday should start grey across eastern england in particular, southern and western areas will see sunshine break through any cloud that does form, then its western areas will see temperatures into the 20s yet again buta see temperatures into the 20s yet again but a cooler and eastern coasts, temperatures tomorrow only in the mid—teens, from monday to tuesday no pressure to the south,
9:58 am
high pressure to the north, what will happen on monday and tuesday, it will slot in the striker from scandinavia so after a lot of clout on monday much more sunshine on tuesday even if the breeze will be a bit cooler. that some channels are breaking through the cloud and the rest of scotland, northern ireland, the midlands, maybe even east anglia as we go through the day, some isolated showers towards the west and temperatures generally in the high teens, low 20s, not as hot as last week, that's the general story for the weekend the pleasant in the sunshine, good sunny spells but an increasing of some showers in here as well. bye for now. this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at 10:00. one year on from the terror attack on london bridge and borough market, a special service will be held today at southwark cathedral, to remember those killed and injured. a warning that the threat to britain from islamist terrorism could increase over the next two years. g7 finance ministers warn
