the uk's new brexit secretary, dominic raab, says he's still persuading other cabinet ministers that the government strategy for leaving the eu is the "best plan." israel says it's rescued hundreds of white helmets, the syrian civil rescue teams that operate in rebel—held areas, from a war zone in southern syria. a woman who lost nine members of her family in the missouri duck boat disaster, claims the captain told passengers they wouldn't need life jackets. mps are calling on the government to consider banning the sale of real fur in the uk after shops were found selling real fur labelled as fake. and coming up — our sunday morning edition of the papers — this morning's reviewers are political editor of the sun on sunday, dave wooding and the journalist and author, shyama perera. before the papers — sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's karthi... good morning.
9:34 am
the final round of golf‘s open championship is under way at carnoustie. defending champion jordan spieth is one of three players tied at the top of the leaderboard. he will tee off alongside xander schauffele at 2.45. rory mcilroy and tommy fleetwood are in the chasing pack. they are four shots adrift, as is a resurgent tiger woods. katherine downes reports from carnoustie. he may have won his last major a decade ago... commentator: he's back! ..but tiger woods is back in the hunt. he looked back to his brilliant best yesterday and he's picked up the scent of the claretjug. i've shown that i've been — i've been there, close enough, for the chance to win this year. um, given what happened the last few years, you know, i didn't know if that would ever happen again, but here i am, you know, with a chance come on sunday and a major championship, and it's going to be fun. not such fun for rory mcilroy. at 5—under, he's not ruled himself out, but there was a bit too much of this going on for him. obviously disappointed after the way ifinished, um, but, you know, i'm still in the tournament,
9:35 am
i'm only a few shots behind, the wind is supposed to pick up a little bit, so, you know, it'll make things interesting. there are now three players tied for the lead. defending champion jordan spieth drove the first green to open with an eagle and soared to the top. xander schauffele, at the same age as spieth at 2a, showed similar strength to work his way up, while kevin kisner has led from the start and he's still going. all of them on 9—under, all of them american. it's the first time in the history of the open that three americans have shared the lead going into the final round, but there are 16 players within five shots of them. who lifts the claretjug is anyone's guess. katherine downes, bbc news at carnoustie. the americans are dominating and it might have seomthing to do with their cameraderie. this is leaderjordan spieth at their self nick named ‘frat house'.
9:36 am
spieth is staying in carnoustie in a house with rickie fowler, zachjohnson, justin thomas and a few others. they've brought their own chef over, they've shipped over steaks. and to make himself feel even more at home, spieth even popped out to the barbers. yeah, i don't even know where i went. reporter: did they know who you are? i don't think so. i didn't say much, they didn't say much — he didn't say much. reporter: he didn't say "what are you doing in town?" i mean, i had — he went a little high and tight. um... laughter. i was — this was not — it was — it was a little bit — it was a little bit, um, it was intended to be what i normally get and instead, he went a little — he went a little shorter. um, very british haircut — a little shaved on the side, a little longer on top. but it is what it is. it's summertime. it works out. he probably isn't used to walking
9:37 am
around unrecognised! team sky's geraint thomas has retained the leader's yellowjersey — ahead of team—mate chris froome, after stage 11! of the tour de france. froome, the four time winner, was subject to more attacks from the crowds — having a clear liquid thrown at him. while thomas was booed as he crossed the line, he and froome maintained their positions in first and second place overall, although they were nearly 20 minutes behind stage winner omar frylee. thomas leads froome by one minute 39 seconds in the general classification, with just seven stages remaining. there's a tricky afternoon ahead for lewis hamilton if he is to win the german grand prix. hamilton will start from 14th place on the grid, after trying to push his mercedes back to the pits after breaking down in the first qualifying session at hockenheim. the british driver is eight points behind championship leader, germany's sebastian vettel who'll start from pole in his home race. ijust, you i just, you know, ijust, you know, sometimes you just can't believe things happen and u nfold can't believe things happen and unfold the way they do. but you just
9:38 am
have to suck it up and move forward. also i was trying to see if i could get the car back to the garage, push it back in the hope that maybe they could fix it. but i could see there was liquid and it was a long way to 90, was liquid and it was a long way to go, they wouldn't let me push it back. it is tough, when you work so ha rd back. it is tough, when you work so hard and you are fighting for a championship this close, you cannot afford days like this. england made a shaky start to the hockey world cup in london. they had to fight back from 1—0 down to rescue a draw against india. lily owsley with england's equaliser. england face the united states in their next match on wednesday. and they were beaten by ireland yesterday. the united states are ranked seventh in the world, but ireland came out 3—1 winners in their opening game. that result puts them top of pool b for now — a great start for ireland who are playing in their first world cup in 16 years. in rugby league, catalans dragons have confrimed their place in the super 8s after beating salford red devils. they won by 44 points to ten in perpignan with fouad yaha scoring four tries.
9:39 am
catalans victory means current champions leeds can only reach the top eight if wakefield slip up in their remaining two matches. to the anniversary games at the london stadium, and the first day of action started with a bit ofjustice from ten years ago. the british women's four by 400 metre team from the beijing olympics in 2008 were given their bronze medals, after the russian and belarussian teams were both retrospectively disqaualified for doping at those games. a special moment for christine ohuruogu, kelly sotherton, marilyn okoro and nicola sanders — albeit a decade later. now with a round up of the action from day one, here's kate grey. the anniversary games is one of the highlights in the athletics character, and the first day of action certainly did not disappoint! the men's 100 metres action certainly did not disappoint! the men's100 metres was a world —class the men's100 metres was a world—class field, with britain's sign up she's hoping to beat his
9:40 am
record. one of the best 100 meter finals here on british soil with six athletes going less than ten seconds. hughes had to settle for silver and missing his personal best by two —— two hundredths of a second. it's a learning curve, i will see what i can do in the 100. my will see what i can do in the 100. my coach and i have been talking a lot, i'm happy with how i run today. i have my composure, those guys who get ahead, i can relax and get to the finish line. the crowd was treated to a british battle in the longjump, treated to a british battle in the long jump, with shara proctor battling her british rival lorraine ugen. shara proctor got a place in the champions in berlin injust a few time. if i can the champions in berlin injust a few time. if! can pull out the champions in berlin injust a few time. if i can pull out a good jump few time. if i can pull out a good jump today, i know that i can go back and be sharp. british para
9:41 am
athletes dominated on track and field, with libby clegg winning the 200 metres and stephanie reid winning the long jump at the biggest surprise of the day was tom bosworth, breaking the world record in the men's walking race 3000 metres, one of the first of the day and he adds to the silver medal he w011 and he adds to the silver medal he won at the commonwealth games earlier this year. that's all the sport for now. now it is time for the papers. hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are political editor of the sun on sunday, dave wooding and the journalist and author, sharma perera. let's take a look at the front pages. the mail on sunday says three raf aircraft are being used to transport holiday—makers. the a—3305 are part of a fleet leased by the mod under a deal costing £10.5 billion.
9:42 am
but when the planes are not being used to transport british troops their owner is allowed to rent them to holiday firms. the sunday express shows a picture that dominates many front pages — an image of a beaming prince george, released to mark his fifth birthday. it has also interviewed david davis who it says has urged the prime minister to tear up her brexit white paper and start again". the sunday telegraph headlines its interview with the new brexit secretary, dominic raab. he's told it the uk needs to make clear to brussels that the so—called divorce bill and establishing a trade framework are linked. the sunday times leads on polling which it says shows theresa may is facing an "unprecedented political crisis. " the yougov data suggests the tories face being squeezed at both ends of the political spectrum, with more than a third of the public willing to support a new hard brexit party, with about the same numbers interested in a new party dedicated to stopping brexit. the paper's other main story is a revalation that scotland yard
9:43 am
is embroiled in the largest police corruption inquiry for a0 years. the observer's top story is a call from a cross—party group of mp5 for new powers that would force people to appear before parliamentary inquiries or face possible imprisonment. the paper says the demand is the consequence of "growing anger" over the refusal of the head of the leave campaign, dominic cummings, to come before a commons committee. it also publishes figures showing the number of hospital beds for people with acute mental health conditions has fallen by almost 30% since 2009. and the sunday people carries an interview with a former girlfriend of one of the schoolboy plotters, who was convicted of plotting a columbine—style mass shooting. a variety of stories making the sunday morning papers today, let's hear what our guests make of them. i guess it is partly because summer is upon us and there isn't a lot of agreement. but a big political
9:44 am
interview? yes, one that will no doubt be softened by the end of today, upturned in two days! but this one, you have at a fairly comprehensive view of it on your programme, that dominic raab is saying britain would refuse to pay its £39 billion divorce bill to brussels if the european union fails to agree a trade deal. i think this is, again, interesting and stirring rhetoric. but with every divorce deal, we know that there are fights over the children and fights over property, fights over hidden assets. this isjust... while it is a stirring call to arms, he has to make his presence felt, it is a short time before the recess, he is basically having to hit the ground running. yet again, this is a load of hot air. is it? i think it will be encouraging to a lot of people, not only to remainers but leavers as
9:45 am
well, we have surrendered so much to brussels, but we haven't really dug in our heels. we keep hearing about ritzmaier's kitten heels, she should have used them for extra h. the one big —— about theresa may's kitten heels, she should have used them for extra leverage. all the countries wa nt extra leverage. all the countries want to do deals with britain's. germans want to sell their cars, potatoes, whatever else. they want a trade deal but the european commission, this unelected corps in brussels, what they want is the project and that comes above anything else. they want money for their future projects. that is the one big negotiation point we have and it is nice to see he is putting that on the table. using the divorce analogy, we were part of the project and contributed to it. we helped to shape it. to turn around and say we
9:46 am
have no responsibility is impossible. this rhetoric, while it does... it damages those credentials bed. on the other hand he can say, we we re pa rt bed. on the other hand he can say, we were part of the project, why treat us like an enemy because we have decided on a democratic decision because we don't want to be pa rt of decision because we don't want to be part of this club and want to leave on good terms. it goes both ways, it is nice he is putting that on the table. let's see what comes out of that interview, he is on the andrew marr programme later. we will hear later whether he has gone back on those quotes! and there was the suggestion that some of his cabinet collea g u es suggestion that some of his cabinet colleagues have not committed themselves to theresa may's plan. one ortwo, themselves to theresa may's plan. one or two, esther mcvey, the work and pensions secretary, and penny mordaunt, the international to bell and secretary, haven't completely bought into it but feel that they are better at the table, negotiating and swing things a bit. it is like
9:47 am
boris johnson's defence and swing things a bit. it is like borisjohnson‘s defence as to why he wasn't resigning over heathrow. it is better to fight from within. you have a nice story about boris in your paper today... have a nice story about boris in your paper today. .. yes, philip hammond, the chancellor of the exchequer, was asked recently whether the fact that seven members of the government had resigned over the brexit plan, hammered out at chequers two weeks ago, was a good 01’ chequers two weeks ago, was a good or bad thing. he says in some cases, it was a good thing as it shows they are pushing the envelope a bit towards brussels and it shows that we cannot really do much more because there is so much anger over it. one of the lines he used was that two of the bogey men have been removed from the board and by the bogey men, he is talking about boris johnson and david davis, the brexit secretary. the brexiteers are pretty
9:48 am
angry about this. philip hammond has angry about this. philip hammond has a habit of putting his foot in it... he knows how to wind them up! they see him as an arch remainers who is like victor meldrew about brexit. probably not helped by the fact your newspaper has mocked boris up to look like fungus the bogeyman!” wonder whether we should have issued a warning... we started this because it is nine o'clock, the watershed, it is nine o'clock, the watershed, it is nine o'clock, the watershed, it isa it is nine o'clock, the watershed, it is a bit frightening, i apologise if anyone is disturbed! the man responsible is with me now in the studio! a bit of bread top fun! philip hammond does not complain when he is likened to all sorts of things —— red top fun. with his undertaker appearance, but calling boris a bogeyman is neither here nor there. a sorry state of affairs, a throwaway remark that is very newsworthy is something that people
9:49 am
can be angry about rather than laugh at. we all know that the bogeyman does not exist... on that basis, what does it mean? to . this is very interesting, the sunday times story, it picks up on what dave was saying about theresa may's difficult decision. notjust difficult within her own government or party but with the electorate, the polarisation of the electorate, the polarisation of the electorate, the idea that somehow she could bring the country together after the brexit referendum. whether you blame her or others in politics, we seem to be pushed further apart.|j her or others in politics, we seem to be pushed further apart. i think it is very difficult to have an opinion on this particular poll. i think each poll shows different things. the polarisation continues, david very ably described to me why we could not have a three choice referendum. on this particular subject. i think the backlash
9:50 am
against the prime minister's deal would be a backlash against anyone steal. if it were boris as leader bringing ina steal. if it were boris as leader bringing in a deal, it would still happen as the country is polarised. this has the leivas tereus, the next would have the remainers furious. -- the leivas furious. most people are not happy with the deal, they are not happy with the deal, they are not happy with theresa may and the person who comes head and shoulders above the rest as possible leader among the general public is boris johnson. he polled 20% in our poll, then ruth davidson and she's not even an mp, the scottish tory leader. that would give boris's supporters something to chew over. and the suggestion, we described it as we were going through the front pages at the start
9:51 am
of the programme, that about one third of the programme to recover public say they would support a hard brexit party, and about a third would support a new centrist anti—brexit party. all theoretical but it tells us something about the nebulous nature of politics at the moment. everything is focused on brexit but there is a bigger divide in terms of our broader view on politics and what we want. we saw it in the last election and the election before. that the polls do not get things right and that the public is generally disenchanted. lot of the public feel disenfranchised despite having the vote. and nobody, no single party, has yet to find a solution. we have to remember that this is, effectively, a minority government shored up by the dup. it is not... we have not got something that is definite. even now we are not talking about a stable government,
9:52 am
we are talking about a propped up government. i think called policy has been recalibrated. not in britain but across the world. in britain but across the world. in britain it has gone from left to right, to remain and to leave. we have seen the rise of populism, electing people like donald trump, jeremy corbyn, the leader of the labour party, and extreme figure in his own right and in europe we have far right groups rising. they accuse us far right groups rising. they accuse us of being racist for voting brexit but in the eu that is where the sfar redditch crew mists are being collected. somewhat related in a tenuous way, dominic cummings is coming before mps, we are not old enough to remember this but i read the last time a journalist was dragged to the house of commons was the legendaryjohn junor, defending mps because they published a story that they did not like. he was made to go and stand at the front, a terrifying thought, imagine if we
9:53 am
we re a terrifying thought, imagine if we were dragged before mps! a terrifying thought, imagine if we were dragged before mp5! i thought they had powers to compel witnesses? they do, it is an inch green power. they do, it is an inch green power. they try and persuade people to come. this is a campaign that the observer have been running for a while to discredit the leave organisation, and the funding of it. they have got the bit between the teeth on this. dominic cummings is there. he is a former special adviser to michael gove when he was that the department for education. quite a colourful and outspoken character. a good operator behind the scenes. but his behaviour does appear on the face of it cavalier at the moment. the observer goes on to say that there is an interim report
9:54 am
by the department of digital culture and media... they believe it will call within days and enquiry on how to beef up the powers of parliament, to beef up the powers of parliament, to force people to come and answer to force people to come and answer to them when they are asked. we do not trust politicians at the best of times, we may be nervous about giving them these kinds of powers? what is scary is this man isn't a politician but a political adviser. if he has so much disrespect for parliament, that the organ he effectively served through its representatives, then why would we be expected to have any respect for it? and the other stories on the front of the observer, this is a very good and timely story. this is about the falling number of beds for mental health patients. given all that we have talked about, giving parity of esteem to mental health and the nhs and efforts for young mentally ill people, this is quite worrying? it is horrifying. it says
9:55 am
the number of beds has fallen from 26,448 in 2009 to 18,082 in the first quarter of this year. in that period, we have now got figures that suggest one in four young people will suffer from suggest one in four young people will sufferfrom some form suggest one in four young people will suffer from some form of mental health issue. we have been promised all sorts of funds and resources which have not been delivered. there is quite clearly... even when i am reading all about these people sending texts or pictures, i think this is all sex addiction, it is a mental health issue, it should be dealt with, but somehow we are almost normalising mental health issues instead of helping those who have them, to get past them. issues instead of helping those who have them, to get past themlj suppose a lot of treatment is better delivered out a hospital environment. yes, that is true, the government have, in fairness, said
9:56 am
they will put an extra £1 billion in over this parliament and theresa may has spoken quite a lot about it. she has spoken quite a lot about it. she has talked the talk, let's see if she walks the walk. it is now being treated as a mainstream section of health. but the point is those put into hospital situations or facilities are not those who can be dealt with outside. i suddenly having my own circle evidence of somebody who desperately needed hospitalisation, who was put on an emergency list for a bed and given a 12 week wait. there are fewer doctors and nurses in training and it says in the body of this copy that hundreds of patients are travelling hundreds of miles to hospitals because there are no beds. food for thought, a sombre way to end. thank you to both of you as ever. thank you for watching. that's it for the papers this morning. nicholas owen has your next edition of the papers tonight at 10.30. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website.
9:57 am
if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you shyama and dave. goodbye. more cloud in the sky today compared to yesterday, especially in the north and west, there is a weaker weather front. that's all it is, nuisance value rain. drizzle nuisance value rain. in the north and west of scotland. drizzle in the north and west of scotland. possibly northwest northern ireland. elsewhere, low cloud has cleared away, despite fairweather cloud, it is dry and bright for most. strong sunshine coming through. it will be warmer than yesterday just about everywhere away from the north and west, we have nuisance value drizzle. it should be fine for the golf. overnight, cloud thickening in the north and west, the rain turns heavier. overnight, this isjust how warm and humid it will be,
9:58 am
temperatures higher than the nightjust gone. uncomfortable sleeping. we do have heavy rain for a time across parts of scotland and northern ireland. factors on monday. that will peter out, a warm day is in the offing. we could get up to 30, 31 degrees in southern and eastern areas. a hot week ahead. this is bbc news. the headlines at 10: the new brexit secretary, dominic raab, says a brexit deal will be done if the european union matches the same energy, ambition and pragmatism shown by the uk, but he also warns the eu not ramp up the pressure. if it's reciprocated, we get a deal donein if it's reciprocated, we get a deal done in october. if, if, if. sure. it isa done in october. if, if, if. sure. it is a negotiation. a woman who lost nine

members of her family in the missouri duck boat disaster, claims the captain told passengers they wouldn't need lifejackets. israel says it's rescued hundreds of white helmets civil defence workers and their families from a war zone in southern syria. also this hour: could the sale of realfur be banned in the uk?
