at chester—le—street. the hosts set a world record score in the last match, so perhaps unsurprising that australia chose to bat first. both aaron finch and shaun marsh scored hundreds as they reached 310 for eight. little chance of england topping the 481 runs they managed at trent bridge but jason roy struck a century, and joss buttler got them home with more than five overs left. they have the chance to complete the series whitewash on sunday. what an achievement that would be. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to tomorrow's papers.

with me are steven swinford, deputy political editor at the telegraph, and the london editor of politico, jack blanchard. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the metro leads on government plans for eu citizens to apply to remain in the uk after brexit. the ft says sterling rose after the bank of england's chief economist voted in favour of raising interest rates. the telegraph relays the us ambassador‘s advice to britain on brexit, suggesting we ditch defeatism and take "inspiration" from donald trump. and the i reports on 53 gagging orders used to silence westminster em ployees overfour years wide. let's begin with tft. steve, this

will be important positive signs for the government ahead of brexit. it's important signs for sterling in the economy, possibly less so for people with mortgages. all the people out there who have homes, interest rates could be going up as soon as august. it's been —— he's traditionally been seen as it's been —— he's traditionally been seen as a it's been —— he's traditionally been seen as a tough, but he's now a p pa re ntly seen as a tough, but he's now apparently voted this week in favour of raising interest rates. so it's slowly shifting the mood? of raising interest rates. so it's slowly shifting the mood7m of raising interest rates. so it's slowly shifting the mood? it could be by august. the last time we saw this move on the committee, it was precipitated a few months down the line, so you'll have a huge impact if and when it comes on a whole lot of people. the reason they're doing it were starting to think about it is because it looks like the economy is because it looks like the economy is starting to pick up. so you have this weird counterbalance effect where it's bad news for some people, but it's actually got a greater good

going on. the overall challenge for the bank is encouraging without letting it get out of hand, because we've been there before, haven't we? we steamed away and suffer the consequences of not being very appealing. and you can see everything they do is poured over, this is a tiny movement that doesn't change the outcome. sterling is up, so change the outcome. sterling is up, so tiny movement by the bank of england meeting an awful lot. the poundin england meeting an awful lot. the pound in your pocket is what people ca re pound in your pocket is what people care about. let's move on here, this is quite striking, we heard a bit about this from newsnight. how some of the previous allegations have been tackled. what do you make of this number of gagging orders used to effectively buy the silence of people who complained ? to effectively buy the silence of people who complained? deeply disturbing stuff. we talk about very serious allegations of bullying or sexual harassment. these orders are

confidentially —— confidentiality orders that prevent people from speaking out. people claim it that you can still go public and whistle—blower, but that's different than speaking out and saying this happened to me. how much concern is there at westminster over this issue? we've had complaints made against the speaker, which the commons authorities said they were not empowered to investigate. he has denied all of them i'm a these bullying allegations. there have been all these stories about how there was a big piece in the ft over there was a big piece in the ft over the weekend interviewing people claiming they had suffered sexual abuse of the hands of mps. how big is his problem? to acute problem, and it's something that that has been whispered about. you will hear people talking about how this mp is bad news, the bully their staff, their retirement. you must remember some of these employees are very young people, barely out of university and have never had a job before. they have this autocratic boss who is a member of parliament

who thinks they can treat people however they like. the culture of that has built up over many years, and nobody has really known how to address it or what to do. but to see more than 50 people signing these orders, 2/2—million pounds, public money spent to keep them quiet, i don't think anybody expected it to be on that scale. the staff all work for somebody, they work for the houses of parliament to micropro mejia state. people like mps researchers and assistants, their employer is the mp, that is the person to answer to. they're not even included in here. so this is purely common —— commons law order stuff? exactly. each mp is an individual employer, they suddenly have hundreds of people brought into a totally different sphere from this, and it could be the tip of the

iceberg. i remember when newsnight first ran that big story. i had people starting to contact me to tell their stories, they wanted to be anonymous but had things to say about the way they had been treated. what they would always say was that it was their boss who was doing it, who could they complain to? there was nowhere for them to go. all this goes back to the idea that mps should be independent and not to anyone from their electorate. mps have often never managed a small company before, which is essentially what an mp offices. they don't know about hr, they're often quite busy and stressed, so you can see how the situations develop. it's not very professional environment. u nfortu nately professional environment. unfortunately this is a little shortened version of the paper the —— because of the world cup. we have the good news, there is a longer proper review at 11:30pm, so i know

you both will go through and sift through the rest of the papers. we will hear more from jack and steve later at 11:30pm. media others coming up at 11:50pm. thank you. summer started today's test today technically. and the outlook is looking hot. today the temperatures we re looking hot. today the temperatures were relatively modest, the best amateurs around the 20 degrees mark, and they were especially high because the error has been coming in from the north. so from the north atlantic, relatively cool air. you can see the motion of the cloud streaming in from the northwesterly direction down towards the southeast. with a clear sky tonight, that means they will be chilly or even cold across northern parts of the country for this time of the year. rural spots can be dumped around 3—4d. breeze blowing in the

north around eastern coasts. towns and cities early on friday before sunrise probably around 8—iod. sta rts sunrise probably around 8—iod. starts off fairly chilly in the morning, but it will be a beautiful sunny morning, but it will be a beautiful sunny summer morning, but it will be a beautiful sunny summer day morning, but it will be a beautiful sunny summer day across morning, but it will be a beautiful sunny summer day across wales and ireland. weather fronts are flirting in the far north, a little but closer to the jet stream. here the high pressure on friday, you can see it building across the uk into friday night and saturday. a weather front running around the swiss —— whether product, nibbling into the northern parts of scotland, maybe some spots of rain there for the northern islands —— northern ours —— isles on saturday. temperature starting to creep up by then, mid 20s across the south of the uk. sunday's weather forecast, hardly any wind at all, a beta full and
