11:31 pm
hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the deputy sport editor of the sun, martin lipton, and journalist and broadcaster penny smith. —— the sun's chief sports reporter. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the sunday telegraph says that theresa may has been warned by her own constituency chairman that she must not concede any further ground to the eu in any brexit deal. the sunday mirror has a full page splash on the possibility that there may be more of the deadly novichok nerve agent hidden around salisbury. the sunday times leads on whistleblower claims that the qatar world cup bid team broke fifa's rules by running a campaign to sabotage rivals
11:32 pm
competing to host the tournament. the observer is one of a number of papers to show a picture of geraint thomas securing his tour de france victory, the first welshman to do so. and finally the sunday express covers news that a water company is urging snoops to inform on neighbours who use hosepipes in breach of a ban. let's begin with that sunday times story, its own exclusive about the world cup and allegations about qatar. tell us first what they are. the allegation is basically about the qatari bid for the 2022 world cup broke the rules by spreading propaganda, black ops against their rivals. which you are not allowed to do. no, but everybody does it. in the fa, the england bid, employed christopher steele and fusion gps, as in the trump dossier. in fact,
11:33 pm
pa rt as in the trump dossier. in fact, part of the trump dossier came out of the stuff that's steele got together while working for the england bid team about the russian bid. they were all at it. the problem that you have... why is this a story, then? exactly. the sunday times have been trying to take the 2022 world cup off qatar for at least eight years. ever since the vote. and with good reason. the scandal of the 2018 vote wasn't that russia one, it was that england and the got to make votes. the scandal would the 2022 vote was that qatar one. qatar bid for a summer world cup when it is 50 degrees. fifo's and medical expert said it was dangerous not just for the and medical expert said it was dangerous notjust for the help of the players but the fans and everybody else. —— fifa's own medical expert. they should never have one. and there was clearly an attempt by the now disgraced former qatari member of the fifa executive committee, he was driving people to
11:34 pm
vote for him for his attempts to overta ke vote for him for his attempts to overtake the presidency and get it offset latter, who was eventually forced to step down because of the sheer scale of fifa corruption —— off sepp blatter. so there is a lot off sepp blatter. so there is a lot of background here and to the sunday times' interest in the story, but specifically seems to be about a smear operation? yes, it is a dirty tricks campaign by the qataris. claims of one professor being paid to write a report... they are sane journalists and bloggers as well. —— they are saying. there is an ongoing issue between qatar and its neighbours. the saudi government has made no effort to hide its desire to have the world cup stripped from qatar in 2022. the world cup will be held in qatar in 2022. there is too much money involved. even though
11:35 pm
they want to host a summer tournament, they did work out it was too dangerous to hold it in summer so too dangerous to hold it in summer so it will now be played between november 21 and december 18 of 2022. it shouldn't be, but it is going to happen. martin, we are lucky to have you, somebody who knows a great deal about the story. so when are we getting it? 2030, we are the favoured choice of the uefa president, who wants an england led bid which will be england, scotland, wales and potentially northern ireland. 12 years time. we will come back to that at some later date. let's move on to the front page of the sunday telegraph. a favourite topic, brexit. well, by 2030 we should know exactly what it means to have gone through brexit. i think probably it will be clearer by them. because at the moment, as we know,
11:36 pm
everything is surrounded with good, would, should and everything else. —— could, would, should. this is a sunday telegraph story, the grassroots of the tory party are in open revolt about what has been decided by theresa may over brexit. they are saying, we don't like it, you shouldn't give any more to anything else the eu wants. another red line? another red line, than if the other red lines. so we now have a series of red lines. i'm rather lost with all the red lines. most specifically, it is the chairman of the prime minister's own... yes. but it is notjust there. it is the constituency chairman, saying she must not concede any further ground to the eu. cabinet ministers face angry response from their associations when they return to their constituencies. it is quite interesting. this newspaper has learnt david davis, who resigned, warned the prime minister not to deceive the public. i wonder who
11:37 pm
told them? who could guess? i am just floating a name in the ether. it may be a name, somebody where his first name is similar to his surname. first name is similar to his surname. i find it interesting, the sunday times, to go back to that, the army is on standby for brexit emergency. this, to me, just seems like sensible planning. we don't know what is going to go on and we don't know whether things are going to be held up at ports as people haggle and have arguments about whether goods can come in without tariffs, or whatever else happens. this, to me, sounds like sensible planning. you are not alarmed by it? well... i think we should all be slightly alarmed by what is going to happen, and when i say slightly alarmed, ijust think we have to be alarmed, ijust think we have to be a bit sensible here and be a bit realistic and say, this is happening, at some stage, in eight months time, we will either crash
11:38 pm
out for form an orderly queue and get out, but it perhaps won't be sorted, sojust in case, we ought to get things, get our ducks in a row. sort it all out. i can't believe that on one day, the 29th of march, we will have one set of rules and then on the 30th, there is going to have to be some degree of... some periods... they are talking about a transition period now. there are issues about documentation at ports, there are issues about medical supplies and all of this. long—term, going to war three years down the road, we are going to have to have a fundamental reassessment of basically every law we have on the statute book. —— going down three yea rs statute book. —— going down three years down the road. that is what they have said we are going to do. let me move you on. front page of the scottish mail on sunday. corbyn loses the plot over anti—semitism.
11:39 pm
the word plot is important here? loses the plot over anti—semitism. the word plot is important here7m is, it is his allotment, it is in barnet. you have to put this in the context of this issue that the labour party has been having all this infighting about, which is whether or not they accept the international holocaust rents definition of anti—semitism, which as we know, has not happened. —— international holocaust remembrance alliance. so now they are saying that the area where he has his allotment, which has a sizeable numberof allotment, which has a sizeable number ofjewish allotment, which has a sizeable number of jewish people in allotment, which has a sizeable number ofjewish people in it, they are very angry and they are saying that maybe he should be stripped of his allotment, and anyway it is four miles away from where he lives in islington. and it has been proposed by the leader of the council. he was a conservative! we need to put our detailing. —— put that detail in. the final line in the article is that they don't know whether they can do it anyway because it isn't their jurisdiction. can do it anyway because it isn't theirjurisdiction. the more serious
11:40 pm
issueis theirjurisdiction. the more serious issue is the row between ian austin, a labourmp, who issue is the row between ian austin, a labour mp, who has adopted —— whose adoptive family were victims of the holocaust, and he had a row with ian uleybury, the chairman of the party. and just as margaret hodge was that under this disciplinary measure for verbally attacking and questioning the morale at&t truth -- attacking and questioning the morale at&t truth —— morale at&t, he is now also facing discipline for his criticism of uleybury. the very thought that the labour party could be in this position should be hard to believe. it is something that they don't seem to be able to ship down. well, you see, that is why i don't understand why they didn't shut it down by accepting this definition. i still don't understand
11:41 pm
why they didn't just say, yes, let's do that. unless there is some else that we don't know. let me take you now to the front page of the sunday mirror. this is about novichok. those two frightening incidents in salisbury and amesbury. this is the suggestion that there may be more of the russian, we assume russian, novichok hidden away. police believe the assassins stashed two lots of the assassins stashed two lots of the deadly nerve agent. and obviously we know that the initial attack was on the script family, the former russian spy and his daughter, he was living in salisbury. —— skripalfamily. the he was living in salisbury. —— skripal family. the purview he was living in salisbury. —— skripalfamily. the purview bottle which killed dawn sturgess and hurt her partner, there is a suggestion there may be another batch in the salisbury area, whether it is in salisbury area, whether it is in salisbury amesbury or wherever, nobody is sure. obviously we all fearfor nobody is sure. obviously we all fear for the people, we nobody is sure. obviously we all fearfor the people, we saw nobody is sure. obviously we all fear for the people, we saw all those chemical suits and the clea ra nce those chemical suits and the clearance of all the pubs and
11:42 pm
restau ra nts clearance of all the pubs and restaurants around, and the chaos that it caused. terrifying yes. and the people of salusbury will be thinking, here we go again, i suspect. your heart goes out to everybody involved in this. let me ta ke everybody involved in this. let me take you to something slightly more cheerful, the front page of the sunday telegraph. a great caption, from prince of wales to king of france. yes, this is geraint thomas, and according to martin, unless he falls off his bike and is unable to get back on, he has won the tour to france. it is a lovely photograph. a joyful photograph. look at that. the realisation he has done it, it must bea realisation he has done it, it must be a dream, as you realise that this is it. this isn't somebody who has come from nowhere, he has two olympic old medals, he was part of the philipp petzschner team. he is a fantastic cyclist. but he was not supposed to win, he was supposed to be there to support chris froome, he
11:43 pm
was the team leader. thomas has taken advantage of chris froome being slightly off the pace for who knows what reason, but there were obviously issues before the race as well. he is going to be an incredibly popular winner of the tour de france. incredibly popular where? er? i think tour de france. incredibly popular where? er? ithink generally. even though he is team sky... aren't there are some people that don't like the fact that the british have essentially ta ken like the fact that the british have essentially taken over? the french haven't won it for 30 years. let me try and fit in one last story, the front of the sunday telegraph. i know you like this one, penny. orchestras running out of puff? what they are saying is that the big beast of the orchestra, the oboe, bassoon, french horn and juba risked becoming extinct because young musicians don't want to use them. the issue generation have less exposure to light classical music and they don't really want to learn those estimates —— youtube generation. what about the violin
11:44 pm
and the cello? are they playing those? i assume they are. the thing is, i love the noise of the tube. —— tuba. yes, i am assuming, just because they tuba, let's face it, it is not the most portable thing. a violin you can sling at the shoulder and do some busking now and then wearers aid tuba is a large thing to be dragging about. —— whereas a tuba. i don't know about the french horn. i would tuba. i don't know about the french horn. iwould have tuba. i don't know about the french horn. i would have thought that was an attractive instant. i am always amazed when i see these people playing these big huge instrument, wondering how on earth you even transported. i will have to stop the there. thank you both rematch indeed. that's it for the papers denied. don't forget that you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website, seven days a week. if you miss the
