9:30 am
veteran children's entertainer, barry chuckle, one half of the chuckle brothers, has died at the age of 73. his comedy partner and brother paul said he'd lost his very best friend. before the papers, sport and for a full round up from the bbc sport centre, here'sjohn watson. good morning. what a performance from ireland's women who reached the hockey world cup final. the tournament's second lowest ranked side, who've had to raise money in the past to fund their matches, will face the netherlands in the final later after beating spain in a penalty shootout in the semis. jo currie was watching. ireland's unlikely heroes, their women's hockey team the first irish team male or female to make a world final in any sport. their semifinal against spain was already uncharted territory and they could have been forgiven for letting nerves get the better of them. but anna o'flanagan got them off to a dream start, putting them ahead within three
9:31 am
minutes however they were pegged in the second half by alica magaz to send the match into penalties. it takes nerves of steel to score in a shoot out but gillian pinder took it to another level, scoring for the second time in sudden death to take her team into the history books. the journey has been an incredible one, a team of amateurs have turned the hockey world cup on its head and will now face netherlands in this afternoon's final. it is safe to say this is going to go down in history and i don't know if i will ever play with a better bunch of girls. they deserve this, they deserve it so much and maybe the fact that we are amateur makes us take it a wee bit deeper and ijust hope that this gets the credit it deserves because we are in the world cup final, like, it doesn't really get much better than that. so it's the world's number one side against the second lowest—ranked team in the whole tournament. ireland will begin as huge underdogs but with this fighting spirit, they will be dreaming of doing the unthinkable once again. jo currie, bbc news.
9:32 am
adam peaty brought the european championships to life last night, when he broke his own world record again in winning gold in the 100—metres breaststroke in glasgow. our sports correspondent joe wilson was watching. there was one reason to take your eyes off adam peaty in glasgow — to watch the clock. the world record 57.13 he was chasing was his own. on tv, a red line marks the pace he needed. for context, britain's james wilby an excellent second was over 1.5 seconds behind. he's broken the world record, 57.00! peaty looking in disbelief looked to see his time. the crowd already knew. well, you can hear the crowd's roar. that's notjust the result but a record. remember, adam peaty referred to these championships as a kind of mini olympics. what he's done is given the whole thing status. peaty‘s performance was unmissable.
9:33 am
but look past his physique, try, and the mind really matters. i've learned the last season, i want to just enjoy it. be me, i'm not trying to pretend to be anyone else and because i do. and the crowd definitely got their money's worth tonight. there is more of peaty to come here but if people make cities, world records make championships. joe wilson, bbc news, glasgow. yes, what a performance. there was more gold in the velodrome, with britain's ethan hayter claiming his first major title in the omnium. the teenager came from fifth place to first with a superb performance in the last of the four disciplines, the points race. he beat a really strong field, including the reigning olympic, world and european champions. and there are more medal chances today in the swimming and cycling with coverage on bbc tv, radio 5 live and sports xtra, plus the bbc sport website. england all—rounder ben stokes put in a match winning performance as england beat india in what was a great advert for test cricket.
9:34 am
it was a thrilling climax on the fourth morning. india needing 84 runs to win, england needing five wickets. when stokes removed the india captain virat kohli, an unlikely win looked possible and he then wrapped it up, taking four wickets in all, to give england a 31—run win. well, what a game of cricket, from start to finish, it swung both ways throughout. three and a bit days, it made a fabulous spectacle. it was great to be involved in, great with india to play some fabulous cricket along the way and i am so proud of the group. all i wanted to see was the desire and the belief that we showed in the previous days. celtic began the defence of their scottish premiership title with a comfortable 3—1 win over livingston. they're second in the table, behind hearts on goals scored, after they beat hamilton 4—1. and can can you believe it's only 11 weeks since chelsea won the fa cup at wembley? they're back there this afternoon to take on manchester city in the community shield. eden hazard was the match
9:35 am
winner back in may. he's still with chelsea, despite plenty of talk about a move away from the club, but they do have a new man in charge, antonio conte replaced by maurizio sarri as manager. always chases big rival so antonio was, with maurizio before with another manager, so with maurizio, it will be true, but i am delighted to play with this style of play, the way we want to play, i think it will be perfect for english football. i'm so happy he came here. i want to win because it's very important to have immediately a trophy. but i think in this moment of the season, is very important to the performance. we have to improve, of course. leeds rhinos have won the women's challenge cup for the first time, coming
9:36 am
from behind to beat castleford. they won by 20 points to 14, a late try from leeds skipper lois forsell settling the match. they're coached by adam cutherbertson, who's expected to line up for the men's side this afternoon in their challenge cup semifinal against warrington. that's live on bbc one, after the first semi between st helens and catalans dragons. georgia hall has given herself a great chance of winning a first major title. she's one shot off the pace going into the final round of the women's british open. and after some erratic long shots, hall's putter helped her to 12 under par, just behind leader pornanong patlum. over on the us men's tour, rory mcilroy put himself into contention at the world golf championship in ohio. he said he was feeling good heading into the final day, after a round of 67 left him tied for second place with ian poulter, three shots behind the leaderjustin thomas. britain's cal crutchlow will start the czech moto gp from fifth on the grid, after qualifying in brno was dominated by andrea dovizioso.
9:37 am
in the final seconds, he outpaced his fellow—italian valentino rossi to secure his first pole of the season. world champion and runaway championship leader spain's marc marquez, completes the front row in third. that's all the sport. now on bbc news, here's ben with the papers. hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are claire cohen, women s editor at the daily telegraph and ben chu, the economics editor, the independent. welcome to you both and thank you very much for being with us. welcome to you both and thank you very much for being with us. let's take a look at the front pages. the sunday times has an interview with the international trade
9:38 am
secretary, liam fox, who puts the odds of the uk leaving the eu without a deal at 60—40, placing the blame on the european commission. another ongoing political issue, the row over anti—semitism in the labour party, makes the front page of the sunday telegraph. it says the shadow chancellor john mcdonnell is facing criticism for his links to a smear campaign against a jewish leader. the nhs has been warned it's at risk of breaking the law if it doesn't offer transgender patients awaiting surgery access to fertility treatments. that's according to the observer. the mail on sunday claims information about britain's new stealth fighterjets has been leaked to an as—yet unidentified third party, in what the paper calls an "audacious honeytrap plot". a story we've covered today features on the front page of the sunday express. detectives searching for missing midwife samantha eastwood have found a body and made three arrests. it's not yet been formally identified. it's not yet been formally identified. and the sunday mirror says
9:39 am
the duchess of sussex is thought to be preparing for a reunion with herfather in the us. just a flavour of the front pages and let's talk in a bit more detail. that interview with liam fox, the trade secretary, saying that no—deal brexit is odds—on. trade secretary, saying that no—deal brexit is odds-on. it's interesting how long the brexiteers have been accusing the remainers of project fear but now we have alarmist words from liam fox. a few days ago he said it would be a betrayal of the people to extend article 50 and take the negotiation period further on, and that would be preferable to a no deal, he said. he's whipping up alarm. is it alarmist or real? my first thought was that this is obviously he's battling some cages to get inside michel barnier‘s head and say no deal is a real
9:40 am
possibility and you need to be worried about this, but then he goes on to say if that's a strategy commies give it away in the interview because he said it's part of the government strategy and he wa nts of the government strategy and he wants that to look credible to the eu. if that's what you want to do, he's given the game away. this is a thing we have been hearing from the foreign secretary, talking about the risk of an accidental no deal. the governor of the bank of england talking about it as well. liam fox was the dark did not ask after checkers, borisjohnson was the dark did not ask after checkers, boris johnson and was the dark did not ask after checkers, borisjohnson and david davis resign, the third brexiteer cabinet who did not resign. i wonder if there's an element of trying to put his flag back in the hard—core tough guy brexit by saying these things. he does give it away. he says further in the interview, if there is talk of a no deal is causing banks in the uk, just
9:41 am
imagine what it's doing in the eu. the flaw in that it's all the projections show a no deed is far more damaging to the uk than the eu. even so, wouldn't they be pretty worried about the prospect of a no deal? i think so, worried about the prospect of a no deal? ithink so, but worried about the prospect of a no deal? i think so, but they are standing firm. we have shown our hand. liam fox said this would be the easiest trade deal in history. 0k, the easiest trade deal in history. ok, another character in all of this drama is michael gove. in the sunday times, we have a story below their main story, david cameron talking about michael gove in unflattering terms. he is regarded as more treacherous than boris johnson according to the former prime minister david cameron, that's pretty low considering they both did for him. i don't know, maybe this is an appetite raiser for david cameron's memoirs, which were due to appear in autumn but been pushed
9:42 am
back until next autumn because he did not want to say anything about brexit. how thoughtful! he does want to get a doubt discoverjuicy element where he's to accuse michael gove of being more treacherous than borisjohnson, because he expected michael gove to be lloyd whereas he didn't expect it from borisjohnson. it's very strong language. —— to be loyal. friends are saying this david cameron about michael gove, he's a lunatic. it's very strong language. david cameron believes michael gove behaved like brutus and stabbed him in the front. families were very friends. they used to holiday together. the wives were great friends and there were reports they have not spoken since the referendum, so there was a lot of
9:43 am
icy gangster between those two. maybe he's trying to stop his chances of a leadership bid. also we have the labour party once again under scrutiny in the papers particularly the row over anti—semitism. and some pretty colourful language from tom watson, actually, as well, on the whole things. the observer newspaper have the interview with tom watson and he said the party will disappear into a vortex of eternal embarrassment if it does not sort this out. incredibly strong language. he's addressing the diabolical lack of jeremy corbyn sorting this out. we heard mps were going to resign and running at independence over this and there were whispers some of the leading allies ofjeremy corbyn were raising their voices behind closed doors. tom watson is doing it in the papers. it's astonishing. he hasn't just wanted jeremy corbyn and said
9:44 am
let's have a chat about this. he's doing it in the observer. jeremy corbyn‘s supporters that he wrote that article in the guardian this weekend, trying to draw a line under the whole thing. he hasn't. he hoped to draw a line under it but it's been widely criticised and it was not an apology really. this interview really speaks to his frustration. to use this very strong language of eternal shame. and also to say drop these two disciplinary enquiries into margaret hodge and ian austin, who are both been very criticaljeremy corbyn, ian austin, who are both been very critical jeremy corbyn, and ian austin, who are both been very criticaljeremy corbyn, and adopt this definition, the root cause of all this row, just do it. he's the deputy leader. presumably he's already gone to jeremy corbyn and i'iow already gone to jeremy corbyn and now was going public to say this is what i want. it's such a disaster, he wants it to be known he thinks he
9:45 am
should have ta ken he wants it to be known he thinks he should have taken decisive action and nipped it in the bud and he's not doing it. it's turning up the heat on corbyn. he'll go public until he will do what is necessary. there's more in the sunday telegraph, different angle on it. they have brought injohn mcdonnell into it. a groupie is associated with, the labour plantation committee, and comments made by the former president of that. it's open season former president of that. it's open season in the labour party. how damaging would this be in terms of electoral support for the labour party? | electoral support for the labour party? i think electoral support for the labour party? i think it electoral support for the labour party? i think it will be hugely common hugely damaging. i think people are astonished that, at a time when the tory party, many people perceive it an open goal for labour to kick their ducks into the back of the net, they can't get is nor do. do thing jeremy corbyn thing jeremy corbyn can get them out of
9:46 am
it? he wants it to be over but what is clearly going on is there is some sort of blockage in his inner team about adopting this definition. every sensible outside observer would agree that the best way to stop it is to adopt it, something stopping that happening and i think, i don't know whether the polling suggests this is hurting labour or not, but it certainly suggesting a level of incompetence and structural lack of great. whether people care about it or not, it's putting them ina about it or not, it's putting them in a terrible light as an organisation . i don't know if you can pull away from this now. ok, let's move away from this now. ok, let's move away from the trials and had relations of the conservative and labour party and go to zimbabwe in the sunday times. shortages and plagues. iwas
9:47 am
there when robert mugabe fell and there when robert mugabe fell and there seems such amazing optimism. at the time. they thought it was a new era and then we saw the tragic deaths of these six people. and soldiers on the streets with live ammunition. it's an illustration of the fact elections don't solve things in the way people often na vely hoped, having a big popular vote. it doesn't make people necessarily come together because they dispute the results, especially when you have questions about the fairness and corruption of the process, as we have had in zimbabwe. robert mugabe going was definitely a huge moment, obviously, having been there for 30 years, a brutal, repressive dictator. you have to be hopeful for something after that will be positive. is an interesting piece by the africa expert who said he was part of the group was lobbied strongly to say don't have elections
9:48 am
but a power—sharing agreement first. these things where institutions are not developed, can make things worse. that prognosis seems be borne out by what we see on the ground in zimbabwe this week. do you think the future will at least be better than under robert mugabe? it's been described as a new beginning but it does not seem like a new beginning. it's described as the inevitable has happened and it's how we feel, it's a shame it descended into violence. lets code to the the windrush victims backed by the government. the home office is gagging victims of the windrush scandal. the government said, actually, no one will be asked to sign any kind of nondisclosure agreement but tell us more about that story. this is something sajid javid said it would absolutely not happen and now it is happening according to the
9:49 am
newspaper. that people are being told they have to sign the money but held they were not going to, should the government even be using them? we need some regulation around this. i think it's really, really appalling. that they have not learned from this there needs to be transparency, then there's a real problem at the home office. it's amazing to think how huge the story was a few months ago. the suggestion backin was a few months ago. the suggestion back in march when these cases were coming out, people who had been wronged by this process would be forced to save i can't speak about it, there would have been an absolute outcry. if you read down into the story, the only home office defends, sajid javid said he was talking to one element of the compensation scheme money said there would be no nondisclosure orders. total escapist words. david lammy says he will not accept this and quite rightly so. less talk about the heatwave around europe. portugal
9:50 am
and spain in particular, these temperatures are up in the mid—40s. the observer had got a dramatic picture of fires in portugal, i think. extraordinary weather conditions. are you enjoying the heatwave? i am a sun worshipper. we've been very light—hearted about it over the last few weeks, i've stopped checking the weather app on my phone. we assume we live in a tropical country now. there were lots of really appalling things going on across europe and portugal and spain in particular, really suffering extraordinary temperatures. i think the highest yet they was near lisburn, 46.1; celsius. much hotter inland. there are droughts in the netherlands and wildfires going on, so it's becoming slightly apocalyptic. ok, the daily mirror have got meghan markle potentially being reunited with her father. this has been a story the
9:51 am
tabloids had been running and running. they have been big players and edward thomas markle being couuded and edward thomas markle being colluded with this before the wedding, really embarrassing, because he was pictured getting measured up for his wedding suit and it turned out he was paid for those shots which is very not what the royal family want. embarrassing parents, when you are in the public eye, it's multiplied by1000. parents, when you are in the public eye, it's multiplied by 1000. it's difficult for her fourth of do you think she's handling it well? yes, very well, she was pictured on her 37th birthday at a closest friend looking like she has not got a care in the world. big smiles, and handling with it with real grace because she must be desperately upset behind—the—scenes. do you think that is what it would take, her going to have a meeting with him in the usa? maybe. a friend spoke at this week saying they have
9:52 am
been issues between them for years, but i would think she wants to get it sorted out. the key thing is to stop talking to the media. easier said than done. lets end up with a bit of cricket. the test was rather good. a victory for england. at a time when some people have been saying the long form of test cricket has had its day. the people haven't got the attention of a five—day match. people have been lamenting the demise of test cricket. this was a great advert for this form of the game. exciting, twists and turns. a guy with a court appearance in 48 hours being the hero of the match. what better advert can you get for cricket than that? i'm sure the ecb will be rubbing its hands together. high fives all round. are you a
9:53 am
cricket fan? fancy a five—day match? ifi cricket fan? fancy a five—day match? if i can sit in the sun, then, yes. 0k, if i can sit in the sun, then, yes. ok, many thanks. that's it for the papers. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you, seven 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. that's it from the papers. now it's time for a look at the weather.
