9:30 am
in manchester's moss side area. some victims are described as having "major injuries". cyclists could face a new charge of death by dangerous cycling if they kill pedestrians while riding. the department for transport is consulting on proposals. nasa's daring solar probe mission has successfully launched from cape canaveral in florida after the launch was called off yesterday. the mission will analyse the sun's atmosphere for the first time. sir vs naipaul, author of more than 30 books and winner of the nobel prize for literature, has died aged 85. british sprinter dina asher—smith takes a second gold at the european championships with a stunning performance in the 200 metres. before the papers, sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's will perry. good morning. a joy and a shock.
9:31 am
that's how dina asher—smith described becoming the first briton — male orfemale — to do the sprint double at the european championships in berlin. the final of the women's 200m under way once again, and dina asher—smith. dafne schippers leaving herself with a huge amount to do. dina asher—smith is three metres already off samuel. here comes schippers, schippers chasing down dina asher—smith, but making no ground. and dina asher—smith takes the title. 21.89, she has done it again. she goes quicker still. my parents, both of them, are at almost every single race. it doesn't matter where in the world, australia, china, they're there. so whenever i finish a race, i look for them, and they will be there, beaming. it doesn't matter whether i do really well, really badly, they're always there. i saw speaking to your mum, what was she saying to you? i saw you speaking to your mum, what was she saying to you?
9:32 am
she was so proud of me. they've been there from the start, they've been at every single race, cheering me if i won or if i came eighth. and just to see them so happy, and almost teary—eyed at my achievement, warms my heart as well. hopefully i can send them on holiday now that i've won. so how good could asha—smith be? so how good could asher—smith be? she aleready has 0lympic bronze and commonwealth gold to her name but four times olympic champion michaeljohnson thinks the sky's the limit. a female sprinters are watching this, they have seen this, or they will see it, and they will absolutely take notice. elaine thompson, johnny miller, and daphne skippers could tell them all about what happened here, she had a front i’ow what happened here, she had a front row seat. they all know they are the best in the world and she is now absolutely one of the best in the
9:33 am
world. next yea r‘s world championships, the olympic games, this is a true contender. she is one that they will have in mind. she is one that they will have in mind. there were three more medals on the track for great britain as martyn rooney anchored the men's 4 by 400 metre relay to silver. the women took bronze, whilst shara proctor finished 3rd in the women's long jump. the other venue for these championships is glasgow, and whilst the track cycling may be done the medals on two wheels kept coming. kyle evans led home a british one—two in the men's bmx with 18—year—old kye whire taking home the silver. evans was lost for words after what he described as a "huge" performance. and there was gold and silver in the diving pool as grace reid edged out alicia blagg to win the 3—metre springboard title. britain are now top of the diving table with 10 medals, four of them gold. to the premier league now and it was an entertaining first saturday of the season with 16 goals, a red card and plenty of debuts to pore over, as nick parrott reports.
9:34 am
after defeat in last weekend's community shield, chelsea got their league campaign off to a flying start. huddersfield are a less daunting prospect than champions manchester city, but the blues are very much a work in progress. the new manager, maurizio sarri, gave a debut to the world's most expensive goalkeeper, kepa arrizabalaga, while another summer signing, jorginho, scored a penalty, before pedro wrapped up a 3—0 win. you said it might take two or three months to see the best of this chelsea team. do you think you can do it faster than that? i hope so. it depends on me, it depends on the players. it's not so easy for me in this moment. well, maybe two months instead of three. none of the promoted sides could manage a win, as fulham went down 2—0 at home to crystal palace, and cardiff lost by the same score at bournemouth. wolves put up a fantastic fight at molineux, where richarlison scored twice on his everton debut. had captain philjagielka not been set off, the blues might have won.
9:35 am
instead, the home side came from behind twice through rauljimenez. he is on loan from benfica. tottenham pulled ahead of newcastle at st james's park, the margin of success a mere 9mm. the video assistant referee used at the world cup is yet to arrive in the premier league. harry kane couldn't break his habit of failing to score in august, but team—mate dele alli scored. and roberto pereyra scored twice as watford beat brighton 2—0. hearts are the early leaders in the scottish premiership after beating champions celtic 1—0 at tynecastle. this volley from kyle lafferty sealed it for hearts who've got two wins out of two at the start of the season. it's celtic‘s earliest defeat in the league for 12 years. england's crickters have a big lead over india in the second test at lords thanks to a first test century
9:36 am
from chris woakes but the weather continues to disrupt, as patrick gearey reports. on its day this could be one of the finer walks in london. with india's score a short hop away, lords is an oil painting, but one that shows up false strokes. under sunny skies england's batsmen wandered into unforecast storms. england prised out four wickets before lunch. there had been more rain than runs in this unsettled test, sojonny bairstow‘s 50 was worth a fortune. and he was about to get gazumped. chris woakes flew past him as india started to flag. with old father time looming over this match england had to get a move on. this brought chris woakes his first test century, scored on his return to the team to replace ben stokes. england cannot have asked for more. now for bairstow‘s moment. he was denied his century by the athletic magic of the indian fielder in a spectacular,
9:37 am
but anti—climactic end. england probably had enough runs by the time bad light stopped play. the conditions keep curtailing the cricket, but chris woakes will never have enjoyed a more satisfying stroke. a more satisfying stroll. next to the the us pga championship in missouri, and the american brooks koepka is in the lead going into today's final round. koepka, who won the us open injune, shot 66 in to leave him on 12 under overall — two shots clear of adam scott in second. but tiger woods is lurking on eight under as he continues his comeback from injury and chases his fifteenth major title. rugby league and leeds rhinos made a good start to super league's qualifiers. they ran in nine tries to beat championship side toulouse 48—22 at headingley. the league has split into the super eights and the qualifiers to decide who stays in super league next season. championship leader
9:38 am
marc marquez will start today's austrian moto gp from pole after qualifying at the red bull ring. the spaniard claimed top spot on the grid byjust two thousandths of a second. britain's cal crutchlow will start from fifth. and how about this at macclesfield town yesterday? the official attendance was 2,589 humans and i goose. their league two match with grimsby had to be stopped, because of this goose. it gave everyone the run around for a while. i think he was flagged offside and he is not too happy about it. the groundsman eventually gets his hand on him. someone eventually grabbed it, grimsby went on to win 2—0. that's all the sport for now. now it is time for the papers. hello and welcome to our sunday
9:39 am
morning paper review. i have got the deputy europe business editor at the new york times and rosamond erwin, financial services corresponded by the sunday times. lovely to see you both. let's have a round—up of the front pages. the observer leads on brexit — the paper has done analysis which it says shows more than a 100 constituencies that voted leave would now vote remain. the sunday times front page has the same picture on the front of the observer of the former foreign secretary borisjohnson, who has been embroiled for the past week in the row over comments he made about the burka. the sunday times says the cabinet is ‘at war‘ over his comments. but the sunday express says that a poll the paper has conducted shows that the majority of the public support mrjohnson over his comments and don't believe he should be reprimanded as it would threaten the right to free speech.
9:40 am
the sunday telegraph reports on a letter written by the us ambassador to the british government that says the uk should follow the same tough stance as america when it comes to dealing with iran. the mail on sunday says all was not well in the run up to the royal wedding of prince harry and meghan markle. and the sunday mirror has the story of a ten—year—old boy who boy who weighs 17 stone and says he cannot get the treatment he needs to lose weight because of cuts to the nhs. those are the front pages, let's ta ke those are the front pages, let's take a more in—depth look at the stories. we are starting with the cabinet war over boris. are you surprised how this has developed since that column? six days on and
9:41 am
now he is just a backbencher and yet he has this extraordinary ability to dominate the news agenda. it is a bit depressing they are still talking about it. the sunday times has spoken to a number of cabinet ministers who have used this as a chance to give another kicking to theresa may. there is not a serious political brain in downing street is probably the best quote in this piece. it is not playing out well with all of the cabinet and presumably this skews towards the lever voting bit of the cabinet would be like this. but boris, i feel, has been utterly cynical in this because what he does so well, when he was london mayor, he was a social liberal. i cannot imagine he would have written this column, although he has written plenty of things in columns in the past. now he is playing to a different audience and this is what comes out. steve bannon is saying he should not
9:42 am
bow at the altar of political correctness. i would say if you have got steep banner on your side, you are on the wrong side. it is remarkable how the internal machinations of the conservative party dominates everything. there are real issues britain has to grapple with. suddenly there is a political discussion and that is not a serious brain in downing street. we are months away from a discussion about how britain will lead the european union and six days on we are still talking about a former cabinet minister, a backbencher, and a column he wrote to which he has not clarified. it is remarkable how un—unified the conservative party is for a party of government and how much its internal machinations affect what is going on in the
9:43 am
country. how likely do you think he will be punished? i don't think he will be punished? i don't think he will be punished? i don't think he will be because it will rip apart the tory party and also because the party at local level would not be supportive of it. theresa may is very conscious she has got to keep them onside. that is my feeling. i think they will go with the free speech defence and say he is entitled to say what he wants in his column. he is just entitled to say what he wants in his column. he isjust a backbench mp. i think theresa may is still afraid of him. boris knows what he is doing. absolutely. people say he is a bit ofa absolutely. people say he is a bit of a buffoon, but he is very clever. he writes his column ridiculously fast. he knows what he is doing, but having once edited his copy, it is sloppy. 0therjournalists would get away with it. it is always lively, thatis away with it. it is always lively, that is what he being paid for, but iam sure that is what he being paid for, but i am sure he knows exactly what he
9:44 am
is doing, but at the same time there is doing, but at the same time there is not quite the degree of thought. lots of writers struggle over every word, i don't think boris does. let's turn to the telegraph because there has been a lot of support from jacob rees mogg and steve bannon saying do not bow at the altar of political correctness. and his dad also coming out in support, as has his sister. but this paper is saying there is a lot of growing gfoup support there is a lot of growing gi’oup support for him as well. it is unlikely he will be punished because there is a lot of grassroots opposition to the idea. major donors, the telegraph has several different party associations that are quite frustrated with the process that is going on. it knows as well that there is this element of brandon lewis, the party chairman who is himself being investigated because of a complaint about the controversy about how the party whip
9:45 am
story happened in terms of the matching of mps. your point is a great one, the idea that there is not a lot of momentum to push through a punishment because this is not a legal procedure. it is an internal party procedure and there needs to be some critical mass of support. he is a backbench mp, but he is not your conventional backbench mp, he is much bigger than that. gaining that kind of support to get through some sort of punishment will be difficult.“ to get through some sort of punishment will be difficult. if you think about theresa may and how she has dealt with him in the past, putting him in the foreign office was catastrophic by the country and for nazanin ‘s zardari ratcliffe it was a disastrous decision because she still remains injail, but was a disastrous decision because she still remains in jail, but the same timei she still remains in jail, but the same time i thought it was politically astute move because it sent him away for a start regularly.
9:46 am
it put him perpetually on a plane. it put him perpetually on a plane. it meant that people could see he is not a man of detail, he does not have that attention to detail that you would expect from a cabinet minister. she allowed him to hang himself in that office. being boris is nothing quite sticks in the way that it would for others. but i think theresa may will not want him punished and that will be the overriding feeling because that is not the way she has handled him in the past. let's stay with the telegraph and it is young people are spending seven hours a day on social media. are they not fried? this is concerning and according to the 0fcom statistics this is about double the average british person. we should be a bit cautious because more people do more things on their mobile phones and perhaps i did. i
9:47 am
got my first mobile phone when i was 18. more people read their news on their mobile phones, we hope. more people are watching iplayer. this is concerning, but i am not sure we should be terrified in that way. concerning, but i am not sure we should be terrified in that waylj am probably on the internet for more than seven hours most days with my job. you wonder at young ages what are they getting? they are getting everything. they are not using their phones to ring people. the things i find remarkable is quite a lot of young people do not seem to actually make a phone call. you see that in journalism, which is so much about talking to people, they send an e—mail. it is not necessarily an intrinsically terrible thing particularly if people are consuming books as well. and the news. it
9:48 am
would be nice to know from the research what they are actually looking at. if they are getting news and foreign and current affairs, fair enough. but you do wonder if it is more in the world of entertainment, the youtube generation. without the plug on youtube, it has a lot of content.|j don't want to make it seem that i was reading bruce at 15... the 0bserver was reading bruce at 15... the observer and this shift in brexit. more than 100 seats that voted league would now vote remained. more than 100 seats that voted league would now vote remainedm is driven by doubts from labour voters about leaving. it is starkest in the north of england and wales. a recent poll suggested wales is where the shift has been strongest, it
9:49 am
voted overwhelmingly for league. you get a strong vote to remain on polling. we are told not to believe the polls any more. but it strikes me that the embarrassment here is a lot of the debate we have had about what brexit means came after the referendum and the message came across too late. people might understandably be looking at those things and a lot of the places worst punished economically by brexit according to all the forecasts are places that voted for a leader. i am not in any way surprised by this. it gives momentum to the idea of a second vote, but that will prove politically very complicated if it we re politically very complicated if it were to be an option. the article says it could have a significant impact on the parliamentary battle. do you think it will do? it does seem as do you think it will do? it does seem as though among the parliamentary is very little movement in terms of second referendum or not. that said, as this becomes clearer, that certain
9:50 am
constituencies have slipped from leave to remain, there might be a question. we should caveat this with this is polling, and analysis of polling and from past performance we should be a bit sceptical, but at the same time there 12 constituencies that appear to have slipped from leave to remain, one of them is michael gove's constituency. in particularly important swing constituencies where there were big campaigners to leave, perhaps that will change things. but there is an inherent scepticism of polling given re ce nt inherent scepticism of polling given recent referendums and elections and i don't think this will be a pivot point. i wonder when we will start to see bigger calls for deselection as of candidates. kate who we, where iam from, as of candidates. kate who we, where i am from, had the strongest vote for remain. she is in her 70s, so
9:51 am
she might be looking at retirement anyway, but there is certainly a push to say that she is not felt to be an acceptable candidate. —— kate hoey. do you think this will push jeremy corbyn to come out and move away from the fudge stance that he has on brexit? do you think it is likely that he will come out and say something? the fudge stance has played out really well for him. that is something that is a journalist and a lot of us did not quite guess how it would be. to be everything to everybody is a great advantage. when you are not in power. when you are not in power. does he want us to stay in the eu? i think he wants as out of the eu in his fantasy scenario. however, if his way to power is to back a second referendum and he can see that line clearly, then i suspect that will change. we
9:52 am
are staying with the observer and going to the bottom of the front page and there is a plea for bells to toll worldwide on the war centenary. this comes down to a joint appeal issued by the british and german governments to call for communities around the world to ring their bells in unison on armistice day. the united states has made a similar appeal. this is interesting because we are mired in the daily developments of politics and the prospect of war with iran and until re ce ntly prospect of war with iran and until recently as north korea. this is heartening in that over this passage of time countries that wanted to destroy each other can still come together. it still gives us some hope that perhaps in our lifetime or in the lifetime of the succeeding generations these are not intractable conflicts. even countries that go to war can at certain points come back and work
9:53 am
together. talking about the passage of time, generations moving on, armistice day, do you think something like this will allow societies and nations that were involved in these waters to still remember what happened and why it matters? memories are fading. memories are fading. we do not teach history that badly in schools. i think these things are still put across. there was a story a couple of weeks ago that the last widow... although somebody found another one. we are reaching the point with that passage of time, but i think we study it quite well in most schools andi study it quite well in most schools and i hope it is passed on well. finally the daily mail and it is meghan markle's father who is on the front page. he has gone back to the press. 0h, front page. he has gone back to the press. oh, dear. yes. it is a bit
9:54 am
heartbreaking actually. i find this story upsetting and i rather wish we would leave this man alone frankly. he has made some rather explosive comments when he said to prince harry, it would be better that i was dead and you guys could pretend to be sad. 0bviously dead and you guys could pretend to be sad. obviously i cannot see into meghan markle's soul, but she probably find this embarrassing and upsetting. this is herfather. lots of people have embarrassing grammies, it is quite relatable. i wish for him that he would perhaps stop talking to the press and get the peace and quiet he needs. we have run out of time. i take it you are of the same opinion. have run out of time. i take it you are of the same opinionlj have run out of time. i take it you are of the same opinion. i totally agree. thank you so much for your
9:55 am
thoughts on the sunday papers today. you can see the front pages of the papers online at the bbc news website. it is therefore you seven days a week. and if you miss the programme, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, prashant rao and rosamund urwin. we'll have another edition of the papers for you tonight at 10.30pm. goodbye. we are seeing some big weekend weather contrasts. yesterday many of us weather contrasts. yesterday many of us started off with sunshine. this morning it has been a mild the day cloud and outbreaks of rain and that is the way the weather will stay today. low—pressure south west of the uk, a cold front stretching in across england and wales and a warm
9:56 am
front pushing in across scotland. it is one of those days were along this cold front we will see pulses of energy. the rain heavy in northern england and south—west england and wales and they will work their way northwards. the rain will get heavier across the midlands and central and southern england before working into east anglia and the south east of england. following the main band of rain through in wales and the south west, it will stay mainly cloudy and there could be more extensive brain in this part of the world. we will also see wet weather moving across southern and central scotland where it will be pretty wet for much of the day. in northern ireland it is patchy. 0ne bright spot is shetland, where it will stay dry with sunshine. 0vernight we keep those cloudy skies and there will be further bursts of rain coming and going as well. some
9:57 am
of the rain will be pretty heavy. we are looking at lows of 12—15 and some of the cloud will be low enough to bring fog patches. we have still got that warm front bringing damp weather into scotland as well. it will be a damp start to the day for many on monday. heaviest rain in eastern areas of england and the rain dies away. it will ease in eastern scotland. turning patcher throughout the afternoon. temperatures 17—23. shetland staying away from the rain. 0ver temperatures 17—23. shetland staying away from the rain. over the next few days there will be rain at times in the north and west, so no return of the heatwave, although it gets a bit warmerfor a time in of the heatwave, although it gets a bit warmer for a time in the south before temperatures drop away. this is bbc news. the headlines...
