hello. this is bbc news with eleanor garnier. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment, first the headlines at 11:30. president trump plays a round of golf at his turnberry resort during his private visit to scotland. thousands of people protest on the streets of edinburgh in a second day of rallies against the president's uk visit. writing in the mail on sunday, theresa may has warned conservative mps that they are putting brexit at risk if they don't back her plan for withdrawing from the eu. the boys rescued from a cave in thailand will be allowed to leave hospital later this week. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are playwright and writer,
11:31 pm
bonnie greer, and the commentator and broadcaster, charlie wolf. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the observer leads with claims of a cross—party consensus on theresa may's brexit plans, with the labour peer lord mandelson saying the current blueprint would lead to "national humiliation." the paper also carries a picture of serena williams congratulating her opponent angelique kerber on her victory in the wimbledon final. brexit also the lead for the sunday express, with claims borisjohnson is preparing what it calls a "bombshell" resignation speech. the telegraph leads on an interview with a former government minister over his decision to resign because of the prime minister's brexit plans — but also carries a picture of the duchesses of cambridge and sussex enjoying an afternoon at wimbledon. the sunday times claims princes william and charles didn't want to meet donald trump on his uk
11:32 pm
visit, with a source describing it as the sunday mirror breaks the story which forced the resignation of business minister andrew griffiths, the burton and uttoxeter mp said he was ashamed and sorry after sending more than 2,000 inappropriate texts to female constituents. and the mail on sunday looks ahead to piers morgan's interview with donald trump — claiming the president reveals the queen's view of the eu. laughter . laughter already. so a mixture of top stories for the sunday papers, but after a tumultous week in british politics, no real surprise that brexit makes an appearance on a number of front pages. very professional. you two! i'm so sorry. we will come to the mail on sunday in a moment. let's begin with
11:33 pm
the sunday times, still on donald trump. it has the headline, royals snub trump. it goes onto say that prince charles and prince william we re prince charles and prince william were unwilling to meet donald trump on his visit to britain, leaving the queen to greet us presidency loan. —— alone. i thought it was quite striking that she was alone, had nobody by her side. she is the sovereign, who else do you want to meet? supposedly prince charles is not there because he disagrees with trump on climate change. fair enough. 0ne trump on climate change. fair enough. one thing i picked up, for instance, showing some of the inaccuracies, one that i picked up was that supposedly he didn't bow to the queen. he is not supposed about. he is of equal rank. it is those things that always... it is flatly muckraking. slightly.” things that always... it is flatly muckraking. slightly. ithink we have to take it seriously because of the two bylines on it. serious reporters, tim shipman and roy mcarthur. they would know this, they are there. i have never seen a piece
11:34 pm
about the president of the united states in which the royal family has actually said no. i mean, there wasn't an invitation. i am sure if the queen wanted them there they would have been there. but the feelers were sent out and they said they had other things to do, which isa very they had other things to do, which is a very interesting thing, and i'm sure the president doesn't know about this at all. even this, for instance. prince philip, 97, has retired from public life but he still does things he likes. he didn't go to this. the kind of thing, from what i know about the man, he would probably go to something about carriage driving people he already knows. why would you to go to an inspection of the troops? i think the point is, what you it was very spare around her. she has a huge family. she is very family—oriented. she has a young grandchild. somebody could have been there. the oak room, which i have
11:35 pm
never heard of before, just looking at it, maybe because i am looking at that picture of piers morgan, but the oak room reminded me of the playroom in my house, growing up, which had 0ak panelling, which was just cardboard. it was not what i considered to be one of the top rooms at windsor castle that i am familiar with. let's move on to the mail on sunday which you two got the giggles about. i haven't had a chance to read the whole article yet but this is the air force one exclusive. trump lets slip to piers morgan the queen's true view on the eu. spill the beans. this is a kent brockman exclusive. we read it online, i read the whole thing... he has been tweeting exclusive after exclusive. exclusive, iwas has been tweeting exclusive after exclusive. exclusive, i was served salmon. i read the whole thing and we we re salmon. i read the whole thing and we were trying to eat think what a movie director would do about this.
11:36 pm
this is like mel brooks version of snakes on a plane or something. you get a description of the plane... that is all you get. there is pages about piers morgan on the plane. he is gushing about sitting in a chair that only the president can sit in. my god, i can't believe i'm here. he had to go through three security checks. did he get hold of laura sugar or did he just want to get hold of laura sugar? this reminds me of her starting off in radio, or evenin of her starting off in radio, or even in high schooljournalism. my exclusive chat with principal skinner. maybe they are saving it up. it is not even an exclusive. it is like, cabbage to be introduced to meals next term. the interview is going to be played out on monday. there is more? it is a broadcast interview. it will be played out on monday. there is more than this? a p pa re ntly monday. there is more than this? apparently so. what does he actually say trump said? nothing! this is the
11:37 pm
pa rt say trump said? nothing! this is the part that i would say to viewers, if you are depressed, about tomorrowland everything, read this, because it will make you laugh. —— tomorrow and everything. trump plays him like a fiddle. there is nothing here we don't know. he ends with, are you going to run for president in 2020? trump files to run for president today after the inauguration. that is all he has been doing, is running for president. this is not a scoop. then he has things like, what do you think of brexit? well, it is very complex. you get the feeling that trump is giving him the time because i guess he likes the guy. that we don't get anything. there's no news here. it is unintentionally hilarious. it really is. piers morgan, i know, we run things of his, i don't want to upset a source of money for me, but it doesn't do
11:38 pm
him or the president any favours. he lets the guy down. i can't stand trump not actually he comes out of this, andl trump not actually he comes out of this, and i don't think piers morgan meant him to come out of this, he is like a benevolent patriarch. i will give you some time, i will answer your questions. and he ends with, get off my plane. now, i get that that was a movie reference. this is the president turning around to his advisers, who was that again?m the president turning around to his advisers, who was that again? it is the most softball interview. i cannot believe any serious journalist would spend so much time talking about comic dashing about this plane. it is a complete contrast to the interview with tom newton dunn in the sun that we had. the polar opposite. it might be that when this interview is broadcast on monday there is more in it. trump a p pa re ntly monday there is more in it. trump apparently talks about the queanbeyan beautiful as well. even that... what's he going to say, she's not? what is trump going to
11:39 pm
say? also, piers morgan ends with bringing some tartan from trump's mothers family. and, you know, you get the feeling that trump is indulging piers morgan and piers morgan doesn't know he is being indulged but we know he is being indulged. it is unintentionally hilarious. well, let's leave him for the moment and turn to the sunday telegraph. their main story is about brexit. former minister quit over secret plan to foil brexit. this is the brexit minister steve baker, who quit last week alongside the brexit secretary david davis. he is giving his reasons, if you like, for quitting, and saying that there has been an establishment elite secretly pursuing a planned frame much softer brexit. so a closer relationship with the eu than the one on which he and a brexit secretary had discussed. he is the government. he is not the establishment elite? is there another one? sounds like
11:40 pm
hillary clinton. the problem is, the basic problem is, that brexiteer ha rdliners basic problem is, that brexiteer hardliners in the conservative party pressed theresa may to evoke —— invoke article 50. they didn't have anything. there didn't have a plan. they had nothing. then they put the country on the clock, they put the eu on the clock, and if she had been able to thrash out a plan with her people and go to parliament properly and get it okayed, then go to brussels and say, here it is, start the clock, we are ready to go. that can happen. now we are under the gun. and it is doing no favours to people, especially people who are in favour of brexit like myself, we are sitting there and thinking somehow the government is going to rob us. we have worked so long and so hard for this, and is it going to happen? but she... she needs to get a better handle on things... but that is the
11:41 pm
original sin, that she did this before she was ready to do it, and she was pressured to do it by brexiteers. the prime minister herself has written in the mail on sunday tomorrow. their headline is" acme or there'll be no brexit". a stark warning to rebels as she pledges, i will not let brussels water down my deal. she's right. there is no way the conservatives will have a vote of no—confidence and bring their government down there is no way. and she's right, if they don't back her, there will be i'io they don't back her, there will be no brexit, because if there is a vote of no—confidence, if it happens, they have vote for her. they have too, because they will be a general election if they don't and then there will be trouble. so she's got them. for some weeks now we have been talking about the remain rebels, those who want to stay close to the eu. now we are talking about the brexiteer rubble —— rebels. to the eu. now we are talking about the brexiteer rubble —— rebelsm
11:42 pm
is like 3—dimensional chess. the brexiteer rubble —— rebelsm is like 3-dimensional chess. or checkers. very good. no, this was messed up by the brexiteer alters themselves. they messed this up because they didn't trust that this was going to happen and they have forced the government to move before they were ready to move, and here we are. one thing that didn't surprise —— that even surprised me, in the uk... inaudible. you have to go through, the signature, all of that. they had to go to the supreme court to get permission from parliament. it is the brexiteer ultras. to get permission from parliament. it is the brexiteer ultraslj to get permission from parliament. it is the brexiteer ultras. i wonder if maybe he was playing a double but let's turn to the observer, before you start talking about david cameron. mandelson joins brexiteer attack on theresa may's eu gemili
11:43 pm
asia. so people on the other side of the yatala attacking as well. what leaves us is that the country is becoming a rule take. that is not what the idea was. i am totally 100% remain andl what the idea was. i am totally 100% remain and i knew this is going to happen, only because there was no plan. we are in a situation where 85% of the people don't even understand what the eu is. suddenly, all of this is laid out here around the country has become a rule take up. that wasn't the idea. that wasn't what was sold. when you are dealing with the eu, they are slick. these are bureaucrats. this is sir humphrey going up against these guys. the tories should have been ready, they won't, and this is where they are and stop let's briefly turned to our last one. staying with the observer, that photograph, really nice photographs of serena williams, gracious in defeat. she is congratulating angelique kerber. although she didn't win, serena
11:44 pm
williams has been fantastic. she won the australian open when she was three months pregnant. she is out there now is a new mother after a very difficult dragon seed. she said she'd did this for other mothers. she got to number two and she turned to her opponent to say, welcome to the land of champions. she is a total class act. total class act. thank you both very much. nice to see you both. that's it for the papers tonight. and forget, you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc website. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news.
