which warns of an escalating high street crisis. and the i says the chancellor wants the new levy on tech giants to slow retail job losses. backbencherjacob rees—mogg says the prime minister is setting up boris johnson for a "show trial" over his burka comments. that's in the telegraph. the sun also leads with the burka row, claiming tory chiefs are considering sending borisjohnson to diversity training. the daily mail has undated photos ofjeremy corbyn holding a wreath. the paper claims it's in the same cemetery where the munich olympics terrorists are buried. the express says veterans and mps are furious over "allegations of wrongdoing" by britain in cyprus between 1955 and 1960. so, a varied set of front pages. let's see what our reviewers make of it all. let's plunge in. let's begin with the financial times. mike ashley, the financial times. mike ashley, the knight in shining armour, the white knight coming on his horse to save the house of fraser at the last minute. yes, i'm clear if the 16,500 people who work the house of fraser cm asa people who work the house of fraser cm as a white knight. —— unclear.

certainly it is different to the threat of administration, which is where they started. with guaranteed store closures, i think they were talking about 30 of the 59 stores. mike ashley is not giving a firm number but he says he wants to keep as many of them open as he can come and judging by his actions with the other stores he has involvement in, debenhams and sports direct, that is true. he clearly does see value in the high street but very few other people do. this is notjust a story about house of fraser rant mike ashley, but what the high street is in 2018 and whether retail shops can survive. dawn, that is the question. do you shop on the high street?” do, more than most of my friends, mainly because i find it convenient. ifi mainly because i find it convenient. if i want something i am impatient andl if i want something i am impatient and i want it now. but it is becoming increasingly hard to do so and increasingly you will see shops closing down. the big question is, as henry said, when the small shops close you end up with a couple of very big retailers like amazon and

prior mark and you have much less choice as a consumer. —— primark. we should be able to shop around and have things at different price marks and it seems like we're heading a monopoly right now. it is interesting, this question about how we use shops now. i was talking to lord randall, the conservative peer who used to own a department store, and he told us was that one of the problems was towards the end he was finding people were coming in, looking at beds and furniture, probably bouncing on the mattresses, testing them out, as we all do, opening the doors, all that stuff, then they buy the product online. so he was providing the service but not getting the sale. i confess i am guilty of that sort of thing. books, try to buy them on the high street but if you want and older book, amazon can usually get one for you. even one that is out of them. yes, and food. 0ther even one that is out of them. yes, and food. other than that, i am a pretty inveterate online shopper. sometimes i feel a bit guilty about it... only sometimes? surely the guilt is outweighed by the

convenience. it does speak to a broader question, notjust convenience. it does speak to a broader question, not just about whether shops can survive but what we wa nt whether shops can survive but what we want our high streets to look like, even that some shops clearly are not going to survive. it also raises a question for the future of the out—of—town retailers, it is a big is this model has been built over the last 20 odd years, of people building almost in the middle of nowhere, and then people driving out to it, and they've got half a dozen out to it, and they've got half a d oze n really out to it, and they've got half a dozen really big stores in one location away from the high street. but they are presumably as a vulnerable to the attractions of online as the high street is. exactly, and those ones in particular have been hit hard by these. they are often the first ones to close and they have much lower footfall. books is a good example of where we can see this turning around. for instance, a lot of independent bookshops are finding that they offer something that amazon can't. lots of people i know who work in independent bookshops are seeing more people coming in because they get independent advice.

waterstones were struggling for a while and they found that when they allowed their shop assistants to become a lot more personal... making recommendations, like you see on the shelves? yeah, and because the shop assistants choose their own books, they are seeing a big revival. my grandfather was long dead before i was born but he used to run a village shop and one of the things he did, a typical village shop that sold everything down on exmoor, he would drive around with his van to do deliveries. now we are back to deliveries, you know, the tesco's and all the different retailers, the food retailers, offering home deliveries. and we seem to want it again. is there a possibility that somewhere down here there is a renaissance waiting to happen?” suppose there is a different quality in the delivery. delivery from a courier on probably a very insecure contracts, different from the company you bought it from, with another logistics company organising it, this difference to your grandad who i am sure was a pillar of the

local community. well, we hope, i never knew him. let's decide that he was. it is sort of different. delivery has always been convenient, of course. but getting it from amazon is rather different. let's move on to the front of the guardian. this is your paper, dawn. this is intriguing. i am sure it is not specifically because of house of fraser but it is clearly something that has been on the mind of the government for a while. as the story says, philip hammond is considering a much bigger tax on amazon and lots of other places. i think that the government, both labour before the conservatives and the conservatives i'iow conservatives and the conservatives now in the last eight years, they have been too slow to respond to the changes we see in the high street. there has been a mass moved was online shopping and a lot of those companies operate financially very differently. so the costs that you see in high—street retailers, rent and so on, do not seem to happen to amazon. they don't seem to happen to

any kind of large retailer. philip hammond needs a big win and maybe making amazon and big retailers pay a lot more tax is a good way forward. the trouble is that we've been here before. we remember george 0sborne as chancellor saying he was going to stand up to the big companies, i think that was the google tax in his day, now they are talking about an amazon tax, and actually, when the dust settled, it didn't look like it was achieving what he had hoped. in defence of philip hammond's expectation management, i don't think even he here is purporting to saying that he is going to save the high street. he talks about considering temporary tax measures in the uk cannot persuade other countries of finding a way to sort this out. classic philip hammond speak. yes, probably a less political man, a very different man to george osborne. there is recognition here, notjust of philip hammond being a different matter george osborne, but also from civil servants and white holdings general, there is a deep trend here. we are not going back to the old

high streets. they might be able to mitigate this for a bit, but they need to think about what comes next ina need to think about what comes next in a broader sense. let's move on to your paper, henry, because it is sort of related to this. poor old amazon, they are getting it in the next, aren't they? what is your paper saying, they are being accused of misleading buyers? yes, a scoop my colleague oliver ryan to reveal some worried that next week the advertising standards authority is going to rule that amazon's offers of unlimited one day delivery as pa rt of unlimited one day delivery as part of its prime package are misleading. now, on the one hand, this is just misleading. now, on the one hand, this isjust a misleading. now, on the one hand, this is just a story about one company, though it is a big and increasingly pervasive company. but it does also play into those worries about, who are these massive multinational companies? but we are allowing wider and wider sectors of more and more different kinds of shopping and more and more different kinds of everything to be subsumed into? and presumably you'll be cheering the advertising standards authority, dawn? yes, iwill. i

ordered a catfood feeder and i was told it would be next day delivery, it was supposed to arrive today and i have been told it will arrive on august 20, when i come back from my holiday. you will have a very hungry cat by then. i am definitely going to get something to feed him, i am not going to leave him be. i think this speaks to the fact that consumers feel they don't have as many rights and our shopping online and the government and the advertising standards agency have to make sure that we have the same rights online is off—line. it is very easy to take a dress back and say it is broken and have that, but when it comes to online shopping you've got to package it up, email somebody, they don't reply, and we need teeth for consumer rights. somebody, they don't reply, and we need teeth for consumer rightsm is interesting. some of the online models now involve giving people the opportunity to get lots of versions of the same thing, often in multiple sizes, so they can try them and then send them back. i do and how they managed to make that pay, but they seem managed to make that pay, but they seem to do it. a lovely, striking image on the front page of the

times. the over 60s dance troupe putting on a show in edinburgh. they are putting on a show in edinburgh. they a re really putting on a show in edinburgh. they are really bringing a smile to the front page of the times. and in the news we need cheering up as much as we can. moving on to the telegraph. this is an interesting story, henry. it is below a picture of cricketers trying to dodge the rain, what a funny day we have had in london. university struggling to fill courses. that is not the sort of story we our used to hearing about universities. even when we have heard stories in this vein before, in the last decade or so, it has been the apocryphal basket weaving course at the university navy has ever heard of. you look at the names and the types of courses here, sought—after courses like law, engineering, english literature, university, and they are in russell group universities. the top research universities. yes, an international brand and a heritage reputation. this will, king's college london,

leeds. it is a really interesting story. in 2016 the government lifted the cup on the number of students universities could take and the universities could take and the universities have tried to expand massively and they don't have the stu d e nts to massively and they don't have the students to fill it. and dawn, in a model where the money follows the students, certainly that wasn't the case in my day in the late 1980s, when they had a guaranteed funding and they knew what they were going to get, suddenly these universities are going to be looking at quite a big black hole in some of the funding for some of their courses. absolutely. unless they can fill these places at the last minute. universities have been worrying about money for a while. they had a strike earlier in the year about the black hole in their pensions. universities are reliant on filling these places. when the government took away the teaching grants it left a big hole in their budgets, but universities were assured, you can raise the cap student numbers and that will fill your bank accounts. now, instead, we have

russell group universities, who are struggling massively to feel very prestigious places, and that is a huge deficit. if this is happening to the russell group universities, what is happening to the less prestigious places of learning? good question. the higher education sector was expanded enormously, particularly under tony blair. he wa nted particularly under tony blair. he wanted that 50% figure, 50% of people going to university. a bit controversial but some people would say it was very successful in raising the aspiration, or the ability to realise aspiration for quite a lot of people. we don't know. if something is happening this high up the chain, it suggests there might bea high up the chain, it suggests there might be a more rotten core. the other question it raises is one that has been quite a vexed with theresa may, both as home secretary and as prime minister, and that is the counting of foreign students in the immigration target. therefore, the suggestion that maybe we are discouraging foreign students at a time when perhaps we need them even more financially. absolutely. lots of students have struggled to get

visas, lots of students have worried that as soon as they finish university they will be kicked straight out the country. i think the uk has become a hostile place for students who are looking at going to university. it is suddenly costing a lot more. and when you look at these sorts of figures and the fact that the immigration process is quite argue is, why on earth wouldn't you just go to america or go to europe, where it is much cheaper? it is a lot more attractive for foreign students not to come to the uk now. and finally, as we used to say at the end of the news in my day, henry, callous about friends. i am an unrepentant man of the, well, it began in 1994, the american sitcom friends.” the, well, it began in 1994, the american sitcom friends. i won't ask you how old you are in 1994. and i won't answer, so that is fine. i got into friends a few years into its run, that it was really one of the shows of my childhood it as they we re shows of my childhood it as they were friends episodes on repeat every day on e4 when i got home from

school. i could definitely mouth along to a vast, scary proportion of along to a vast, scary proportion of a scary number of friends episodes. mercifully, what a discover on page three of my newspaper tomorrow was that i am not alone. there is no shame in being a friends fan. exactly, i am not as hipster as i thought. ofcom says it was the most streamed programme in britain in the first quarter of this year. what is really interesting is that it was more streamed then the crown. so are the british more interested in friends than the royal family?‘ bunch of millennial is in a coffee shopin bunch of millennial is in a coffee shop in new york or our own dear queen. it is interesting, because there is netflix spending shedloads of money on the crown, wards left, right and centre, great critical coverage, but the audience would rather watch episodes of a programme that finished 14 years ago.” rather watch episodes of a programme that finished 14 years ago. i think the reason it is so popular, especially in the uk, is that friends is the ultimate comfort blanket. i am about the same age as henry, i remember all of

blanket. i am about the same age as henry, i rememberall of my blanket. i am about the same age as henry, i remember all of my friends coming home from school and watching friends, we were a simson 's coming home from school and watching friends, we were a simson '5 family, so friends, we were a simson '5 family, sol friends, we were a simson '5 family, so i didn't, but even now all of my friends are watching friends. when i go to netflix and decide what to watch, i would say about three quarters of the time i read watching things. ijust watched the first house of cards set in britain, i have been watching brass via, i have been watching a lot of stuff like that because you can zone out and it is not too taxing. —— brass eye. friends is the ultimate comfort blanket that —— comfort blanket because you can remember it and it reminds you of time and people pay their rent. i couldn't even claimed to have watched a holder beside. this is your opportunity to tell us why we should watch. a simple premise, done very well. six friends, fairly normal things happening to them, all around the seventh great season lots of ridiculous things start happening to them, as happens on a lot of tv shows ripe for cancellation. i do think dawn is onto something. it is

pretty good, although for me it is really good, it is familiar and comforting, i can scroll through twitter on my phone and do a bit of work. because you know the plot? yes, andi work. because you know the plot? yes, and i can zone out. it is a bit like a soap opera, then. if there was one programme you would say to people to give another chance to, a programme you grew up with, what would it be? i was too young to watch it when it began, but i watched it has a teenager at university, and it was this life, which i became completely observes with. yes, i remember that. a similar premise. in that case they we re similar premise. in that case they were in the flat, but it has aged really well. i absolutely love it. were in the flat, but it has aged really well. iabsolutely love it. i have seen it about three or four times. i think the one i would add is not that much older, inside number nine. yes, that is fantastic. if you get the opportunity to watch that again i would certainly do that. there is some advice to you to this weekend, particularly the weather not holding up.

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 — 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 dawn foster and henry zeffman. goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday with me, will perry. the headlines tonight: matthew hudson—smith wins britain's third athletics gold at the european championships with victory in the 400m final. 26 days after the world cup final, the new premier league season is here, manchester united are off to a winning start. and jimmy anderson takes five wickets as england bow india out for 107 at lord's.

hello and welcome to sportsday. we'll be at old trafford shortly on sportsday, but first more medals on the track in berlin at the european championships tonight and there was one of every colour. here's ade adedoyin. matthew hudson—smith came into these championships as the man to beat any 400m. and he delivered an emphatic style. his winning time 44.70 eight. he admitted to going out a little early, but he said that is because he wanted the metal bat badly. he was laid out on the track for a few minutes afterwards, emotional and taking in what he had achieved, is facing individual medal. he said it

was particularly poignant because 2017 had been the most difficult of his career, which forced him to make changes, including moving to the united states. last year was the worst year of my life, inside and outside of the sport, a lot of things happened behind the scene. i moved, a snap decision to go to america. enjoying the coach, it is paying off. i can't describe how it feels to win. but i did it. on to the future now. got my first individual. that is all that matters. so golf or matthew hudson—smith. katarina johnson—thompson had to settle for silver in the heptathlon. she had to finish 30 point 05 seconds. she went out hard and really left it all on the track, but did not do enough to get the gold. the context issues scored the highest total of her

career, a point celek they would have guaranteed a medal in healy picks and world championships, angie seth that bodes well for the future. —— in the olympics. i can win. i am not intimidated i past performances. i feel like when you get out there it is anybody‘s to win. i feel like when you get out there it is anybody's to win. if the medals were expected from katarina johnson—thompson and matthew hudson—smith, we had two surprises, meghan beesley got a bronze medal in the women's 400 metre hurdles, jake wightman also claimed a bronze medal in the final event of the evening, the 1500 metres. he said it was special to celebrate it with his family, having also won a medal at the commonwealth games. he dedicated the commonwealth games. he dedicated the bronze medal to his grandfather. it was one year to the date since he passed away and he said that medal was for him. tomorrow, we look ahead to dean asher—smith who qualified for the 200 metres final. she is trying to do the double. she said

all trying to do the double. she said a ll efforts trying to do the double. she said all efforts will go into claiming that double here at the olympic stadium. that was the track and field. there was more success in the diving pool for great britain, but disappointment for one of the brownlee brothers in the triathlon — our sports news correspondent natalie pirks has more from glasgow. remember these guys? jack loren chris mears won the nation's cuts in rio with their olympic three metre springboard. they were carrying on where they left. but the russian world champions were hot their heels. it is stunning. this was a proper ding dong, with theirfinal dive, they needed 17 points to regain the european title they had won in 2016. this is going to be very close. you can say that again. half a point to between them and what would have been the third gold of the championships. the russians are our number one rivals in the world. the chinese are ahead, but

they are friends but also a massive competitors. it is nice to go head—to—head with them and beat them and then beat us. is a fun healthy competition. the triathlon always looks a lot of fun. at least the way alistair grandi does it. it is a tough sport. marc austin reminding us tough sport. marc austin reminding us how tough. sticking with the leaders during the 40 kilometre cycle, brownlee was looking to put a poor season behind him, with a final kick for gold, but then came the wall. brownlee won gold in the commonwealth is four years ago, there would be no repeat. he could only the initial fourth there would be no repeat. he could only the initialfourth behind a frenchman. the new premier league season is under way. manchester united 2—1winners over leicester in the opening game. our sports news correspondent david ornstein was watching and joins us from old trafford. we very nearly saw a little smile from the united managerjose mourinho. david, we very nearly saw a little smile from jose mourinho. david, we very nearly saw a little

smile from jose mourinho. it has been quite ait malta le sommer for jose mourinho. tonight manchester united got off to a restart —— quite a tumultuous summer. they will hope to go on like that. they got going in very quick fashion, with paul pollard by giving manchester united the leap from the penalty spot. a penalty conceded inside two minutes from a daniel amartey of leicester city. leicester came back, they had a couple of chances. it required saves by david had to keep the school level. jose mourinho was a frustrated figure on the touchline at that point. luke shaw, towards the end, popped up at the back post with the first goal of his professional career, to great scenes of celebration among the united players, the fans, jose mourinho, and his coaching staff. a breakthrough moment. that seemed to be that, but leicester came back. jamie vardy with a late goal. it wasn't to be. this is whatjose

mourinho magath afterwards. it was a match where i need a minimum six changes. andy lau is —— rules only allow me free. i wanted to play marcel because i thought it could stretch the game. i knew that paul could not play more than 60 minutes. and in the end he played 80 or 85. i knew that fred would be the same. iwas or 85. i knew that fred would be the same. i was fearing for many of the players. it was difficult to manage the game from the touchline but we played well against a good team, a good manager, good players, a fantastic investment. it was a difficult match for us. to get the three points was good. united did what they needed to do. leicester city haven't won here for 20 years and counting. tomorrow there are six matches. the highlight perhaps being newcastle united hosting tottenham. both have had difficult summers. on sunday there

are three more games. liverpool play as two manchester city, beginning their title defence away to arsenal with a new head coach. the premier league is back and it is looking exciting. thank you very much. despite more lengthy rain delays at lords on day two of the second test, against india, england's closed well and truly in control, dominating the two reduced sessions they managed today. england bowled india out for 107 as patrick geary reports. take ta ke two. take two. after a full day lost to rain, lord's resets. hopefully this time they will get to the crease at least. so this was progress after a long wait out through the long room and into the path ofjimmy anderson, england had chosen to bowl. rhali vijay barely saw his fit delivery. conditions were changing and jimmy anderson works magic. they help remove the ball to take a wicket. exit kl rahul, followed again by

drizzle. eventually, they got back out, but all deposits can make it difficult to know if you are coming going. ajara was definitely going, run out by ollie pope. ajara left and everyone followed. somewhat faster. they have been asking for rental weeks in these parts, just not right now. england will want to get back out there, especially as they are on top. initially, they would have needed a boat. utv groundsman, this is his last test after 49 years was a —— pity the groundsman. somehow he and his team cleared by five. how grateful english should be. in the evening sunshine it was there golden wicket. at kohli gone to chris woakes, chris woa kes got at kohli gone to chris woakes, chris woakes got high—paying as well. india were only happy when arraigned. they took five as india we re arraigned. they took five as india were bowled out for 107 on a day of water and waiting, but most of all wickets.

a big day for england tomorrow. wigan warriors survived a second half rally from castleford tigers to move three points clear of second place in super league's super 8's tonight. an early liam marshall try afterjust four minutes set the warriors on their way to a 20—0 lead at halftime. gabe hamlin, dan sarginson, and ryan sutton also crossed over, but castleford came back fighting and scored four tries of their own including this one from paul mcshane, but it wasn't enough as wigan held on to win 24—22. here are the results from the other matches in the super 8's and qualifiers. warrington thrashed challenge cup finalists catalansd dragons 56—6, steve price's side are up to third. st helens were beaten 16—12 at home by huddersfield with wakefield comfortable 31—13 winners at hull fc. meanwhile, in the qualifiers a big win for salford 28—10 they won at hull kr. so the new premier league season is under way.

it was a pretty frantic final day of the transfer window for english teams on thursday, but the prize for the most imaginative presentation of a new player has to go to villareal. a magician took to the centre of the pitch at the estadio de la ceramica, look at the theatrical gestures and the glass tube filled with smoke and, as if by magic, former arsenal midfielder sa nti cazorla appeared through the mist. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more sport for you throughout the weekend. good morning. the best chance of seeing the dry sunny weather this weekend is likely to be today. not a bad start. actually won with clear

skies around. plenty of sunshine from the word go. cloud and rain will gather from the south—west. it will gather from the south—west. it will move into wales as we go into the day. the clouds further east, turning the sunshine hazy. highest values of 21— 23 degrees. the low pressure will continue to move north and east. it will bring rain that, some heavy at times. great news for gardeners and growers out there, welcome, useful rain for most of us, with the exception of the far north. with the cloud and rain around it will not be as cold a start to sunday morning. but for early birds it will be a wet one will stop the rain will move its way across central and south—eastern areas, clearing behind to quite a muddy field to the day. a loss of cloud around, humid out there, a scattering of showers into the afternoon. highest values of15— scattering of showers into the afternoon. highest values of 15— 22. in this is bbc news. our top stories: turkey's lira hits an all—time low as trump doubles tariffs on their metal exports. a saudi— led coalition says it will
