it could be implemented during the quarter finals stages, with it set to be recommended next week and a final decision to be made next month. cricket now. and if you were after a bit more drama and excitement in the series between england and india — you've got it. after the first two tests, some thought the hosts might have it all wrapped up by now but defeat by 203 runs this morning at trent bridge to a much improved indian side has forced captain joe root to defend his squad and insists they're still in charge. it's obviously not good enough in this format, and for the group of players that we have got, it's well below par and what we are capable of doing, even if it is polar— friendly conditions. revert back to a few things that have worked extremely well for us in the past, and we now have to carry that forward and do it for long periods of time. we're definitely in the driving seat
10:38 pm
as far as the series goes. you know, we have to keep remembering that we have a little bit of time to go away and reflect on what has been a difficult week. but, in england, we are a very good side at bouncing back from a tough couple of days. and one thing you can never question about this group of players is the character and the way they can respond to a difficult period or passage of play. we ran england close in the first test match. we were blown away at lord's. so, we needed to prove a point. all i asked the boys was to give me some accountability. and they were simply magnificent. in all three departments of the game, as a head coach, i can't ask for more. i'm just proud of the guys, the way they stood up, came out here and competed. the rfu has repeated its desire to give full—time contracts to england's women internationals. it's a controversial issue
10:39 pm
because the union didn't renew the contracts of the world cup winning team last year, preferring instead to invest in the sevens format of the game. former world cup champion giselle mather is director of rugby at wasps and says it's important to professionalise the game in the right way. as far as i see it, it's evolutionary. you have to put it on the platform of women's sport in general which has exploded as it should have done perhaps ages ago. people see it is not a smaller, slower brand of sport, it's different and exciting and the women's game is generally an untapped platform in terms of sponsorship and media interest and obviously that is gaining. if you try to do it too quickly it will all go wrong. slow and steady approach is how i look at it. you have to make the balance right, if you make some players professional and others not, particularly in other sport with the contact and strength elements, you have a group of athletes
10:40 pm
who cannot access that stuff every day, then the product you produce is not going to work. the reminder of our top story. kare adenegan claimed gold in berlin, beating hannah cockroft who has already been her hero. they can get much more on that story on our website. that is all from sports day. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
10:41 pm
bringing us tomorrow. with me are katy balls, political correspondent at the spectator, and the political commentatorjane merrick. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. donald trump's presidency is at risk, according to the i, which leads with damaging claims from his former lawyer, michael cohen. the same story makes the front page of the metro, which reports that mr cohen has branded donald trump a corrupt criminal. and the times says that the president's once—trusted aide has now offered to speak to the inquiry into alleged russian meddling in the 2016 us election. the ft also leads with the trump—cohen spat. but the newspaper also cites a poll, which suggests business chiefs rank a labour government under jeremy corbyn as the next scariest threat after brexit. the telegraph leads with mr corbyn calling on the bbc to reveal the social class of all its staff, in order to improve its diversity. the guardian says the labour leader

wants a tax on tech giants such as facebook and netflix to subsidise the bbc licence fee. the daily express has a special investigation which suggests british trade can thrive, even if the uk ends up leaving the eu without a deal. it also says that the award for the world's highest paid actor has gone to. george clooney. so, a varied set of front pages ? let s see what our reviewers make of it all. donald trump lashing out at the man who once held the keys to his secrets. it has been the most extraordinary 2a hours and the news broke yesterday evening so the papers didn't have a chance to get stuck in. but tomorrow, they are getting every single detail and michael cohen and paul manafort convicted yesterday. really interesting the way donald trump's
10:43 pm
reaction to both is different. he has lashed out against michael cohen saying he has made up stories. he is supportive of paul manafort. it shows how dangerous the two are perceived. michael cohen is seen as much more dangerous by the white house. the thing about keeping paul ma nafort house. the thing about keeping paul manafort on the side is that if readers know anything he might be less inclined to reach a plea bargain with the special prosecutor, robert mueller who is investigating these russian connections. in donald trump's to eat which is in the papers, donald trump has said he has praised paul manafort and said he didn't break. i'm not suggesting he will break but this idea this person isa will break but this idea this person is a true colleague whereas the other, his former attorney,... did break. donald trump says there is no
10:44 pm
truth in what might come out. we have heard so long they could be impeachment for donald trump, you begin to roll your eyes because... they would almost saying it's from day one. it does feel something drastic has happened. day one. it does feel something drastic has happenedlj day one. it does feel something drastic has happened. i suppose the problem in some ways for the critics is michael cohen doesn't come across in any of this as a particularly attractive character. he says he is telling the truth now and he was lying then map that he clearly hasn't been telling the truth and yet he was donald trump's personal lawyer. they were asked about this. the press secretary. she was asked about what would trim's judgment in picking these men. michael cohen's background, he has had a chequered history. what does this mean for
10:45 pm
trump? is the enquiry actually going to get anywhere near him? you can senseit to get anywhere near him? you can sense it is a circle that is closing slowly. but i don't think democratic going to go near impeachment proceedings. at the moment it isn't quite there. we would talking about this earlier, people were long enough memories will think, never mind nixon who wasn't impeached, he resigned as before because he was facing impeachment, bill clinton was impeached and the republican attempt failed. it did them more harm than it did bill clinton. that is why you are seeing of democrats, elizabeth warren, saying we don't want to talk about it. they are biding their time because they have learned their lesson. if you jump too soon it could just backfire. there's
