that brings us to the front gone. that brings us to the front page of the metro newspaper describing boris is dropping a bombshell. he let of bombs afternoon. that is one view this as afternoon. that is one view this as a statesman—like decision by somebody who practices the word is singing from the same hymn sheet yet the words stuck in his throat, as he puts it. or the other view is he looked at the criticism of him on sunday in the newspapers, we expected winston churchill and instead we got neville chamberlain saw his pride was hurt. what do you think? i think boris realise this could be a good moment for him. if he stayed, he looked weak. as much as he is not a strong politician, he does have a way with words. two

freezes popped out of that letter, the brexit dream is dying. and also that britain is becoming a colony. he knew that he could wound theresa may in that way and also by resigning when a normally powerful prime minister would have sacked him several times over different things. he's trying to make himself look strong while making theresa may look weak. i have a copy of that, so we have the dream is dying suffocated by needless self—doubt, the implication is that both self—doubt is that of the prime minister and not boris. not a man who does self—doubts. he has the strong argument based on his time as mayor of london when you tried to save the life of a female cyclist.

effectively he was told he could not do until the eu legislated. that is againa do until the eu legislated. that is again a powerful political arguments. one could say this is like a manifesto for boris in terms of the brexiteer fighting like a manifesto for boris in terms of the brexiteerfighting back. like a manifesto for boris in terms of the brexiteer fighting back. few things on that, i think if boris had left say even on heathrow, not last december, if he had left then and saidi last december, if he had left then and said i cannot accept this i need to ta ke and said i cannot accept this i need to take the brexit—lite best as a backbencher. idiot left over heathrow, that would have been seen as quite credible but in the end he bottled it, he went abroad. he has now decided to two to, that his

resignation would be pointless, better to stay inside cabinet since the decision about heathrow was already made but you could say the same about brexit? except i am not buying that. for now, you could definitely not say it. we are talking about collective responsibility. if you are part of the cabinets, and you cannot defend a cabinet policy, you have got to go. i wonder whether he has left it a bit too late. i don't know what's oui’ a bit too late. i don't know what's our credibility he can salvage from this. from some of the tweets to date and some internal tory politics, he has always been quite unpopular with his parliamentary colleagues. there is an element of jealousy i suspect, he commands headlines. he has an almost

effortless ability to communicate. he does. i spoke to some backbenchers who said they had seen boris in london and in their constituencies and he can cut through to people. but we have seen some tweets saying boris is never there for the battle but he comes around for the medal. if boris is then presented with one other person as part of the tory membership, as yougov paul said ruth davidson, sajid javid and others would beat him if there was a contest. that is interesting. let us move on to the telegraph. i suspect this may be an older photograph than from today but

it isa older photograph than from today but it is a statesman—like image, boris isa it is a statesman—like image, boris is a prime minister. if you are someone who wants us is a prime minister. if you are someone who wants us to go forward with the hard brexit then you have to hope that this will cut through to hope that this will cut through to people, it will weaken to these are made and also that david davis and boris will continue the fight from the backbenches. obviously charles moore, strongly believes that as well. it is a very statesman—like image, different to the other papers and that is a clear reason for that. this is your paper, why would he get this kind of coverage, what were your readers expect to see? what you cannot see

here is our letters page. our readers are terribly disappointed. we see lots of letters saying the wrong ministers have resigned. a lot of anger is directed straight at the prime minister. brexit voters feel that theresa may wanted them to give her a chance even though she was remain supportive. they feel they been betrayed. i think our readers would be interested to hear what borisjohnson had would be interested to hear what boris johnson had to would be interested to hear what borisjohnson had to say. he would have done his maths as well even though i can see what he's thinking at all. maybe it is the kingmaker. this article is interesting, is anyone brave enough to sign his death warrant? may be that would freeze to nurse her fear is worst but it does not seem that tory mps

have the stomach to finish her off yet. charles moore says that when she spoke in the commons she gave what was supposed to be a victory speech. i think at the moment she is being used as a human shield. they need her to be there until brexit comes out. most backbench mps think brexit will be a disaster and they do not want to take over so they are using her until they get through. they can blame her when it goes bear shaped. exactly. —— pairshaped. we have not seen a picture of her smiling, apart from the friday pictures from chequers. here it is as sly smile perhaps. she is facing

down brexit rebels for now, do you think she has? i think she is in a much more difficult position. but now she can say she has a strong cabinet behind her but she does not know what's going to do about her backbenchers and they are in direct opposition to the majority of her voters. most of her voters are leavers socio is in a catch—22 situation which weakens her. —— so she is. do you thinkjeremy corbyn look stronger in contrast?|j she is. do you thinkjeremy corbyn look stronger in contrast? i don't know jeremy corbyn look stronger in contrast? i don't knowjeremy corbyn look stronger but theresa may certainly does. we were disagreeing this earlier. i think she had a couple of couple administers but she used to have these troublemaking cabinet

ministers, she's managed to get rid of them both. —— couple of cabinet ministers. it remains to have a majority in parliament so i think it's some labour mps who are not known to be touring party lines on brexit may actually end up supporting her, along with her remainer colleagues then she has probably seen off this assault. maybe she is robert peel, she gets through this thanks to people who oppose her rather than those who support her. let us ends with what we will be thinking about tomorrow, the preparation for the world cup. this semifinal against croatia. this is the metro newspaper. we might never have a better opportunity to rule the world. and then my

favourites which is the daily telegraph front page. aren't these sweet? really adorable. alberto happy times, i feel like that, sweet? really adorable. alberto happy times, ifeel like that, i sweet? really adorable. alberto happy times, i feel like that, i am never normally interested in football. —— up bird of happy times. afair football. —— up bird of happy times. a fair weather friends. are you interested in football? not much of a supporter but all my friends are really excited. i just a supporter but all my friends are really excited. ijust expected them to be obliterated and it is a really good story. the big difference is the team looked like they are enjoying themselves. this page shows that. raheem sterling wrote a great

page about how he came over when he was young and clean toilets with his itiuiti was young and clean toilets with his mum but now he's playing by the national team. thank you very much. that's it for the papers tonight don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to my guests dia chakravarty from the daily telegraph and dawn foster from the guardian. we'll have a fuller paper review with them at 11—30. will have a review —— a summary of the news then as well. good evening. it was another stifling day for many parts of the country. again we saw 30 degrees just to the west of london, not quite as high as temperatures on sunday. it was really only where we had prolonged sunshine we saw such heat. quite a noticeable change across

the northern half the country. scotland and the north of england, temperatures lower because of this cloud. it is linked to this week weather front. slightly cold air being produced. this weather front will hold the temperatures here but we pick up this northerly through the night and we will find temperatures lower and the humidity importantly. if you have been struggling recently as i have, with the heat and humidity, it will be a more comfortable night especially in the east of the country. more cloud tomorrow on that cold weather front will move further westwards. it will pull cloudy skies towards wales and the south—west tomorrow afternoon, perhaps a shower. the sun returns in the east but not as warm with the freshness of the breeze. more cloud for northern ireland and scotland. you can see the heat is more limited, less so on the east coast. temperatures significantly down,

23 or 2a for the hotspots. possibly 25. that means for wimbledon, if you're lucky enough to have tickets for tuesday, it should be more bearable for spectating and playing with temperatures peaking in the low 20s. however, 19 or 29, the sun is just as strong. the same on wednesday but notice this area of rain on northern ireland, potentially wetter conditions here. still uncertainty about the weather front but looks like north and west will have the cloudiest weather. but england and wales lose the influence of that week weather front and temperatures start to rise here and in eastern scotland. after this brief respite from the heat and humidity, temperatures are on the up again as we head towards the weekend.

as ever, we will keep you updated. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11pm: theresa may's cabinet is in disarray as borisjohnson becomes the second senior minister to resign in the space of under 2a hours. in his resignation letter, he says, "the brexit dream is dying, suffocated by needless self—doubt," and said the uk is heading for a deal that will give it the status of an eu colony. and in a move to shore up her cabinet, theresa may appoints jeremy hunt as the new foreign secretary, with matt hancock taking over as health secretary. but the prime minister tells mps in the commons she is prepared to fight to keep herjob, and still believes in the government's vision for brexit.
