hello, this is bbc news with ben brown. the headlines... standing firm on brexit — theresa may says she won't give in to calls for another referendum. the shadow chancellor says he's worried about the prospect of the labour party splitting apart amid the row over anti—semitism. a big rise in the number of staff caught smuggling banned items into prisons. more protests in the german city of kemnitz following the death of a german man alleged to have been killed by two migrants. and we”ll get look at the sunday papers at 9.35 with the prime minister's brexit plans dominating the front pages. that's coming up after the sport before the papers — sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's damian johnson. good morning. there's intense focus on the manchester united boss jose mourinho as his side face
9:31 am
burnley at turf moor later. united have lost two games of their three matches so far this season making it their worst start in 26 years. they are already chasing their rivals at the top of the table. three of those hoping to be challenging at the end of the season continued their unbeaten starts. ben croucher reports. take a look, this is what a happy manager looks like. jurgen klopp has every right to be after liverpool beat leicester 2—1 to stay top. it looked like a routine performance when firmino nodded them two to the good, but the goalkeeper they brought in to replace the one that made too many mistakes didn't exactly help matters. fortunately, allison's howler didn't totally haunt his side. commentator: what a horrible moment for allison, what a way to concede your first goal of the season. we know it's a fantastic goalkeeper who made fantastic saves again. helped us a lot and in this situation of course he did not what he should have done, but all good. now, hands up if you've also made it four from four, no guesses why chelsea are smiling right now. commentator: lovely play.
9:32 am
hazard, 2—0. edin hazard and pedro's late goals against bournemouth kept chelsea level with liverpool in the lead. just behind lurk manchester city. ten years under middle eastern ownership and all the riches that brings. the man that put them ahead against newcastle cost £49 million... sterling. newcastle only had one shot in the first half, it's all they needed. it left pep plenty to ponder. though not sure giving the ball to kyle walker was part of his halftime team talk. commentator: kyle walker... 0h, whata hit! kyle walker, what a hit. what a way to get your first goal for the club. and his first goal for 111 games. "what a feeling." yeah, it's been a long time coming. i'm just thankful to get the three points, that's the most important thing, and luckily i got on the scoresheet. oh what west ham wouldn't give for results to swing in their favour. the off—field entertainment was unique, the on—field was all too familiar. adama traore‘s late strike won it for wolves. so what's it like being a west ham fan right now? yeah.
9:33 am
ben croucher, bbc news. (tx vt) in the scottish premiership, hearts — without manager craig levein who continues his recovery after being hospitalised during the week — beat st mirren to make it four wins from four. steven naismith scored a first half hat trick, this his third goal. he made the other as hearts won 4—1 to keep their place at the top of the table england's series with india is dramatically poised heading into the fourth day at southampton. they resume this morning on 260—8, that's a lead of 233. england's top order once again struggled with the bat and they looked in real trouble when captainjoe root was run out. but some brilliant batting from jos buttler helped steer the hosts towards a competitive total. he reached his half century and although england lost late wickets they'll still hope they can pull off a victory that would see them clinch the series with one test still to play. ferrari have their best chance in years of winning
9:34 am
their home grand prix later today. that's after kimi raikkonen upset the form book by clocking the fastest lap in the history of formula one during qualifying at monza. it's ferrari's first italian grand prix pole since 2010 when they last won the race. championship rivals sebastian vettel and lewis hamilton start second and third on the grid. novak djokovic is looking in good shape to claim a third us open title. the sixth seed cruised into the last 16 with a straight sets win over the flamboyant frenchman richard gasquet. djokovic seemed far more comfortable playing under the lights in the evening, after having played his first two matches in searing daytime temperatures. djokovic is on course to meet roger federer in the quarterfinals. federer brushed past nick kyrigios. the five—time champion beat the australian in straight sets as he progressed through to the second week of yet another grand slam. and in the women's draw maria sharapova is into the second week of the tournament. she had a dominant straight sets victory over latvia's jelena 0stapenko.
9:35 am
sharapova has now won all 23 matches that she's played at night at flushing meadows. justin rose is one shot off the lead at the halfway stage of the latest pga tour playoff event in boston. rose shot four under par to finish ten under overall. fellow englishman tyrrell hatton is level with rose after a stunning round of 63. tommy fleetwood is two shots further back. the american webb simpson leads on 11 under par. that's all the sport for now. 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 telegraph and the political
9:36 am
commentator, james millar. to you both are you so much for being with us. let's take a look at the front pages. the mail on sunday reports on an alleged plot led by the prime minister's former election guru to oust her and install borisjohnson in her place. the sunday times also leads on the apparent attempt by sir lynton crosby to destroy the prime minister's brexit plan and boost mrjohnson‘s leadership chances. the paper sasteremy corbyn too is under threat, with mps planning a vote of no confidence in the labour leader. the prime minister herself writes in the sunday telegraph, saying she will not agree to compromises on her brexit plan that are not in the national interest. the sunday express has a pledge from theresa may that there will not be a second brexit referendum. the paper says she believes it would be a ‘gross betrayal‘ of democracy. the observer leads on what it says is a cash crisis
9:37 am
engulfing local councils, pushing children's social care services to tipping point. and the independent reports on remarks from the husband of the british—iranian woman nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who is imprisoned in iran. richard ratcliffe says his wife's three day release was part of a ‘cruel game'. that's just a flavour of the papers, let's start off with the sunday times, james, you have a sort of double story really about theresa may and jeremy corbyn facing a double coup, that may be putting it a little strongly. it means parliament is back this week although politics hasn't really gone away all summer but is parliament gets back we get to real plotting and fighting and all the rest of it. yes, both had their own problems, obviously, the tory one is kind of knew, i think a lot of us were aware
9:38 am
that boris was planning to campaign against the chequers deal but this sort of moves it on, talk of sir lynton crosby, the wizard of oz as he has known for winning lots of elections did not do very well last year out the general election and consequently not a favourite man of theresa may and she is not his favourite lady, a bit of a between the two. the idea there is some sort of revenge plot going on, crosby is ci’oss of revenge plot going on, crosby is cross because he was blamed for the election, you know, not great performance by theresa may and for being blamed he wants to have a go at her and bruised boris and some sort of coup against. it's a story of revenge and recriminations, isn't it, lots of talk that lynton crosby had lost his touch after last year, fingers pointing in all the action, he was blamed for the strong and sta ble he was blamed for the strong and stable message which did not do so well the prime minister. stable message which did not do so wellthe prime minister. he might feel he has something to prove that
9:39 am
this is true, hitting back says the sunday times and he helped or as johnson when the merrill elections in london, they have quite a tight relationship, positive story in the past together, could make quite a formidable team of allies. this story says theresa may's aids have had talks with civil servants about whether to call a general election if her brexit dealers would down by mps and the also discussed whether she should announce she will stand down in the year up to brexit. that very much got buried in the story, thatjumps very much got buried in the story, that jumps out and very much got buried in the story, thatjumps out and you go, another general election! i'm not sure that isa general election! i'm not sure that is a good idea but inevitably, because we don't know what will happen with brexit, to some extent it's a good sign they are considering all possibilities because we don't know what's going to happen, there is going to be a day, when it comes back what will happen in parliament, so many possible outcomes, a general election is one of the more getting
9:40 am
rid of boris johnson. .. election is one of the more getting rid of borisjohnson... not boris johnson, theresa may, replacing her with boris johnson or someone johnson, theresa may, replacing her with borisjohnson or someone else, distinct possibilities. the same story effectively in the mail on sunday, isn't it, they're big front—page lead, pm rumbles boris plotted to alistair, johnson's gurus shut chequers agreement... pretty much the same story. stronger language. may versus boris, going in oi'i language. may versus boris, going in on boris is popularity since he resigned, lots of people saying he's been acting from the lynton crosby playbook they go into all of that, apparently they are targeting eurosceptic donors. it's really sort of setting him up as masterminding this comeback of boris but you have to ask whether he will be a less divisive leader, is he really for the party needs? has his popularity
9:41 am
soared since he left government? amongst tory party members it certainly has, amongst them, the voting public, it's more questionable. this is a sort of punchy version of the other story that includes the line boris hasn't thought this through, imagine that, borisjohnson doing thought this through, imagine that, boris johnson doing something without really thinking it through first, it's hard to imagine this man would do such a thing! but i suspect that may be the case as it often is with him. or is it the impression he wants to give ? with him. or is it the impression he wants to give? given his term as foreign secretary for he was given power and was actually pretty full and beginning to think it's notjust the personality, he really is a buffoon. and this week the prime minister saying she was happy he was foreign secretary for the time he was foreign secretary. theresa may saying she will not surrender to brussels, defending her chequers brexit plan, she says she won't be pushed into accepting compromises on
9:42 am
the chequers proposals that are not in the national interest which leaves a bit of wiggle room. and also insisting there will not be a second referendum. i thought this was interesting, michel barnier said this week we can't pick and choose la ca rte this week we can't pick and choose la carte what we want from the single market which was inevitable, the eu were never going to accept the eu were never going to accept the chequers plan, they were always going to come back and say you need to make compromises and theresa may said this week eight no deal is better than a bad day, this is her sort of, setting out her stall and saying, that she won't surrender and she won't accept that many compromises as they might like. which i guess she has to do because otherwise brussels are going to turn around and think we think any deal is better than a no deal. the more a cce pta ble is better than a no deal. the more acceptable it is to brussels the less acceptable it is to her brexiteer mps, she is between a rock and a hard place as ever. lynton crosby was the guy who brought dog whistle politics to the uk, there
9:43 am
are dog whistle is going off left, right and centre but at the end of the day it's nothing, it's a classic nonstory, we all go, injournalism, if something is not happening, it is a nonstory, this is theresa may, i won't surrender to brussels, if she said she will, it is a classic man bites dog story. equally ruling out a second referendum, it will be amazing if she said i think we should have a second referendum. she calls a day gross betrayal of our democracy and then you have in the sunday times story lynton crosby saying accepting the chequers plan will be a gross betrayal of democracy, betrayal all over the place in the sunday papers. especially during the brexit process she has said ames and had to roll back. i worry that saying i am ruling out a second referendum might come back to bite her. she has said in the comments she won't extend the article 50 process. a significant
9:44 am
nine are ready, most people would think that will have to happen now and certainly there is momentum building by the second referendum. is there? not enough yet but certainly... labour don't endorse a second referendum, the tories don't, who would sanction it? that's the issue but if enough people want it and call for it the parties will react and labour haven't sanctioned it yet but there is a lot of pressure on labour to do. i don't know if they will, i suspect they would yet... the amount of anger that would unleash, both of the main parties tearing themselves apart in public, i can't imagine either of them will countenance it. it's hard to see how you get the politically but it's hard to see any political future at the moment, how it will play out. we've talked plenty about the tories, let's talk about the labour party, the observer newspaper have got labour facing a shake—up on
9:45 am
the rules, actually, no, let's go back to the sunday times, sorry, we have a bit more, here we go, rebel mps plotting a breakaway party in the sunday times, yes. this is the other half of you know, theresa may and jeremy corbyn facing a double coup but is tony corbyn in danger, he is adored by many of the party grassroots. he is, we are told these rebel mps grassroots. he is, we are told these rebelmps are grassroots. he is, we are told these rebel mps are plotting a no—confidence vote, we had that in 2016, mp5 voted by 172—42 to oust him and he is still there, 2016, mp5 voted by 172—42 to oust him and he is stillthere, he's ignored it completely, i'm not sure that the lead anywhere. this is all prompted by frank field, we are told that of 215 labour and these will be prepared to resign this week, resign... what, the party foot, from the party completely? the brink from
9:46 am
breakaway is the language the sunday times users, hedging their bets a little. i think a lot of the might hang on the meeting on tuesday of the ruling committee, they will decide on this definition of anti—semitism which i think are clarified the issue in a lot of mines, whether they accept it. and if they accept the international definition would that stop some of the criticism of jeremy definition would that stop some of the criticism ofjeremy corbyn, will... rather than getting tangled up will... rather than getting tangled up in issues of definition, criticising members like margaret hodge who dared to call it out, they might actually show members and mp5 they are prepared to focus on the issue robbery rather than getting tangled up inside issues and tackle anti—semitism. tangled up inside issues and tackle anti-semitism. i'm not sure the members care that much, this is the thing about the no—confidence vote, the members still love him, he has been going around the country addressing huge rallies of adoring fa ns addressing huge rallies of adoring fans who are not that fussed about
9:47 am
the anti—semitism stuff. you know, obviously some of them are bad... the anti—semitism stuff. you know, obviously some of them are badmm has become his achilles heel, his critics say he has dealt with the, maybe tuesday is a time he could do with that from a pr, hesitation or point of view? i think it troubled lee would whose take the sting out of the mps on the brink of breakaway. he's lost three mps who resigned the flip, including frank field and john woodcock, the latter because he doesn't likejeremy corbyn, there is no unifying force, if there's 15 mps thinking about raking away they all have their own reasons, they cannot really form a new party so you know, what's the point? the lessons from the sdp and the gang of four and their breakaway is that it doesn't work. they had a unifying programme, that's the big difference, the people who are againstjeremy corbyn have all sorts of different reasons for that and how you get them to coalesce, frank
9:48 am
field is a brexiteer to all intents and purposes, most of the other 15 would the remainder is, they are not in the same group. what about the story in the observer about labour deselection rules which would mean that the hard left could start pushing out people like frank field more easily? if we are talking about more easily? if we are talking about more moderate getting expelled from the party, this is it, if they are shaking up rules to help deselect mps, measures that were put in place in the 805 to mp5, measures that were put in place in the 805 to stop the militant hard left gaining a foothold in the party, it'5 left gaining a foothold in the party, it's going to be decided this week, i think. party, it's going to be decided this week, ithink. and it's not party, it's going to be decided this week, i think. and it's not going to do much to stem what frank field cold the culture of na5tine55, a leading and intimidation in the party. he quit the party flip over two things, the anti—semitism, and that sense of i think he talked about sluggish and is within the party. he did this absolute plays
9:49 am
into those hands. mp5 are now demanding an emergency meeting to talk about this and no wonder.m seems like a wonky process story but this might be one of the bigger stories, stories about coups are good soap opera but if this goes through then the labour party changes character, and what it becomes after that in terms of letting people in who support other organisations, people who have been expeued organisations, people who have been expelled to reapply after a year, five years, tojoin, it really begins to becomejeremy corbyn‘s plaything perhaps rather than the historic labour party. imagine you might hear the top of the labour treat speaking out about this, john mcdonnell talking about how the party has to be knocked back into shape at all costs and tom watson has been quite vocal againstjeremy corbyn so i imagine we will hear more big voices on this. let's move away from politics. the mail on
9:50 am
sunday, on the surface, seems an interesting story and a talking point about norfolk police basically leaving it to a computer to decide whether it is worthwhile investigating a burglary, a house break—in. because of their lack of resources , break—in. because of their lack of resources, i mean, but how can a computer work out whether it's worth investigating, it's an interesting question? i'm sorry but i thought the duty of the police was to collect protect us all and are properly, if a burglar breaks in, they should see that this dealt with properly but apparently not. norfolk police are putting things into a computer, or there are fingerprints at the crime scene and cctv, pressing a button and letting an algorithm deciding whether it's worth investigating, whether a conviction is a likely outcome. surely you've got to send officers ran to the house to see if they are fingerprints and if there are, surely you have a good chance? fingerprints and if there are,
9:51 am
surely you have a good chance ?|j would've thought the duty of the government is to give police enough money and they are not come is why. .. money and they are not come is why... tens of thousands of fewer police officers. it's a fantastic sunday story because it's a great talking point, what is the role of computers in our lives these days, what is the role of the police, to be fair, norfolk constabulary and they say that a person always makes they say that a person always makes the final decision, they are just testing out these computers but it's very much a sign of things to come, i think. it's in crisis. the observer newspaper have a picture of barack obama at the funeral of senatorjohn mccain in the united states and this is really interesting, donald trump was not there. essentiallyjohn mccain did not want him there and it wasjohn mccain getting revenge on donald trump and they had a lot of animosity, didn't they? it is really interesting, the thing that seems to
9:52 am
have come out of the service was this message, antique trump rhetoric of unity, the great coming together and on trumped tweeting violet went oi'i and on trumped tweeting violet went on and some pictures emerging of if i could trump who was there on her phone during the service, setting, tweeting or whatever it she was doing, it seems to have been a sort of great, one of the great groundswell is against the trump, sort of... even in death you can get revenge on a rival which is essentially whatjohn mccain seems to have done. to use a very broad term it brought the good guys together, the stuff that was said at the funeral byjohn mccain's daughter and barack obama, there's no need to make america great again, america has always been great at what it also showed us their lack of power, they are sitting there saying things, donald trump is still in the white house, he was on the golf course, that's what he does at the
9:53 am
weekend but he still but one sitting there with the power... bit of an echo chamber. his supporters won't ca re echo chamber. his supporters won't care for people like barack obama say orjohn mccain's family said. absolutely. we are going to end off on the goodies, i don't know how many of our viewers remember them, james, you do, that's a story inside the observer and it's basically saying the tandem, there we are, goody, goody, yum yum, gone, the tandem, a 3—person tandem, you can see it now, that is up for sale at an auction. james, you were telling me you were a huge fan of the programme. i am going to go and bid for different reasons, because the goodies were light entertainment in the 70s that we can still talk about and they were funny and they have been... i didn't think they were that funny. they were like monty
9:54 am
python cast off. i'd like you are selling it. they weren't as cultured but it was equally as funny, i would argue. the only people when i've interviewed them, i'd ask them to autograph something in my many years in journalism. i hold my autograph something in my many years injournalism. i hold my hands up, i don't really remember them but actually on a slightly different note, the tandems are soaring in popularity, they are all over a bay, i recently bought one and cycle to paris on that. what was that like? cycling a long distance. it is quite tough, i was at the back, i'm cycling a long distance. it is quite tough, iwas at the back, i'm not really a cyclist just what they are good for and i think why popularity is soaring, if you are not a confident cyclist you can jump on the back, you are cold the stalker if you are on the rear, you have to dig in but you don't have to have any road sense particularly or directional sense which is why i think you might see fans of the goodies bidding on this. you were
9:55 am
going to paris with other friends, we re going to paris with other friends, were you faster, you were on a tandem, were you faster than the other people on ordinary bikes? we we re other people on ordinary bikes? we were on a vintage tandem which this is, i beware, it was heavy, steel frame, slower for the most part but we flew down hills, so... you might go faster on a three seater, i will come next year and be like bill oddie on the back. you look a bit like him. thank you somewhat for being with us, great to have you with us. —— thank you so much. 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 claire cohen and james millar. goodbye. hello there, yesterday, the 1st of
