38th great north run, these are some of the 50,000 people getting ready to ta ke of the 50,000 people getting ready to take part. and our sunday morning edition of the papers is at 9.35, this morning's reviewers are features writer for the independent james rampton, and henry mance the political correspondent for the financial times. also, a very good morning to you. the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson has launched a fresh attack on theresa may's brexit plans comparing her strategy to putting the uk in a suicide vest and handing the detonator to brussels. writing in the mail on sunday, mrjohnson said ‘we have opened ourselves to perpetual political blackmail. he went onto say... his language has already been
9:02 am
criticised by some conservative mps. the foreign office minister, alan duncan called his remarks ‘disgusting'. let's get more detail on this from our political correspondent, helen catt. helen, we are used to colourful language from boris johnson, helen, we are used to colourful language from borisjohnson, a bit more of that today, what has he been saying and what has been the reaction? this is far from the first time borisjohnson reaction? this is far from the first time boris johnson has reaction? this is far from the first time borisjohnson has criticised theresa may up roach to the brexit proposals through the chequers plans, but this by far the worst attack, we would expect colourful language from him describing the cheque as a humiliation that would mean the uk looking like a weakling. so far, so boris in a way but the thing that seems to be causing the
9:03 am
sort of backlash that you mentioned is that metaphor that he used of a suicide bomber, when he's talking about the government's commitment to avoiding friction at the irish border, i think you mentioned that there, theresa may had wrapped the british constitution in a suicide jacket and given the detonator to michel barnier. that has caused quite some backlash, you mentioned alan duncan saying it was a disgusting moment in british modern politics, tom tugendhat, the chair of the foreign affairs select committee, not a borisjohnson van, he served as allah army officer in afghanistan, he described it as borisjohnson afghanistan, he described it as boris johnson comparing it afghanistan, he described it as borisjohnson comparing it —— comparing the prime minister to that was not funny and he needed to grow up. the background to this, the eu negotiations but of course the belief that many people have that he is preparing a leadership had to oust theresa may. absolutely, that's
9:04 am
a lwa ys oust theresa may. absolutely, that's always in the background of everything that borisjohnson says and dolls, how does this play into his leadership ambitions, some commentators suggesting this colourful article which was a much designed to grab attention was a way of distracting from revelations that we have seen over the last week or so we have seen over the last week or so about his private life. worse pointing out thatjeremy hunt has been talking about theresa may brexit plans, his successor as foreign secretary, in what will be seen as a foreign secretary, in what will be seen as a dig at senior brexiteers, he says no one else has a detailed plan that delivers on the instruction of the british people and has a chance of succeeding in negotiations. also reports in some papers about the dossier that exists on mrjohnson, tell us more. this is what the times describes as a quick browse and word war book which a p pa re ntly browse and word war book which apparently details various things about his love life and other personal matters. it is said to have been circulating in westminster last
9:05 am
week, the paper claims it was drawn up week, the paper claims it was drawn up by week, the paper claims it was drawn up by theresa may aids in 2016, number ten denies the dossier has been leaked by then, sources say it is offensive and 100% untrue to suggest otherwise. helen, thank you. the government has been accused of failing to prepare for the potential impact which brexit could have on peace and security at the irish border. the chief constable of the police service of northern ireland, george hamilton, says if the border were to return it would be exploited by criminals and terrorists. in an interview with the sunday times he says that some politicians don't understand the dangers — the government says it is considering his call for extra resources. there was high drama at the us 0pen tennis last night. naomi 0saka won the women's title, but that's a side story to what's happened on court.
9:06 am
her opponent, serena williams, had a huge row with the umpire. the 23 times grand slam champion was warned for smashing her racket, docked a point for a coaching violation, and then docked a game for calling the umpire a thief. patrick geary has the details. you owe me an apology. you owe me an apology! i have never cheated in my life. i have a daughter, i stand up for what is right for her. this was not the story tennis wanted or expected. serena williams furious at being warned for receiving coaching, then penalised again for verbal abuse of the umpire. all this in a match she'd hoped would take her to grand slam 24. it cruelly overshadowed a sensational victory for 20—year—old naomi 0saka, playing in a final she had only dreamed of and outclassing a player she idolised as a girl. serena williams' journey back from childbirth and life—threatening blood clots just a year ago
9:07 am
is remarkable in itself, but when this was interpreted as coaching, her fury grew through the second set. you stole a point from me. you're a thief, too. the escalating row brought in the referees, then cost williams again, leaving 0saka an awkward bystander in all of this, serving for the title. an amazing victory and first grand slam, for ever soundtracked by surround—sound anger. her proudest day tinged with no little sadness. patrick gearey, bbc news. rules which prevent some victims of crime from being compensated if they lived with their attacker are being scrapped by the ministry ofjustice. the "same roof rule" was changed in 1979, but not retrospectively, meaning victims from before that time have been refused payouts. last year, more than a 150—million pounds was paid out by the scheme. here's our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw. after a violent crime, what happens to the victims? for over 50 years, they have been able to claim compensation under
9:08 am
a scheme funded by the state. but the government says the system needs modernising to reflect the changing nature of crime, so it is starting a review. the criminal injuries compensation scheme review will examine the two—year time limit on bringing claims, if people with convictions for certain offences should be barred from compensation, and whether sexual grooming victims should be able to make claims. currently, they can't. following a court case this summer, ministers are also promising to scrap the so—called same roof rule. it blocks compensation claims from victims who lived with their attacker before 1979. last year's terror attacks highlighted concerns about compensation for victims who had suffered many different types of injury. so the review will look at whether payments are set at the right level. whitehall budgets are tight. the review will consider if the compensation scheme is sustainable and if the proposed changes are affordable.

danny shaw, bbc news. polls have opened in sweden in a general election dominated by the rise of an anti—immigration party. the nationalist sweden democrats, led byjimmie ah—kesson, stand a good chance of becoming the second biggest party in parliament. their campaigning has focused on immigration and crime. the social democrat prime minister, stefan luveyn, has accused the sweden democrats of extremism and said that a vote for the right—wing party is "dangerous". 0ur europe correspondent gavin lee has spent the morning in the swedish capital, stockholm. what we have seen is a reflex of similar circumstances in other
9:10 am
countries in europe, the issues of migration and here in sweden, the sweden democrats are the emergent party, talking about the worry of crime, a spike in on crime and gang crime, a spike in on crime and gang crime, conflating that with migration. it's an issue because backin migration. it's an issue because back in 2015 sweden salt the most migrants enter this country per capita, 163,000, the government could restrict the measures in place and what was supposed to be a schengen free border travel area, there are checks on the borders and those temporary checks are still in place and while the established parties say other factors are in place like wild fire over the summer, social welfare, housing, stopping increased privatisation, it has been the centrifugal force coming back to migration, the social democrats the main party, according to the polls will seek their biggest slip in 70 years in politics,
9:11 am
expecting the lowest result about 20%, the centre—right moderates expecting 20% with the sweden democrats around the same figure. some said they could be the highest party and their leader saying they are not racist, the other parties saying they are toxic and they would not work but damn if by the poles ending tonight at 8pm, they have to stop looking —— they had to start looking at coalition politics. —— they would not work with them. activists in syria say russian and syrian warplanes have carried out the "most violent" barrel bomb air strikes in the rebel—held province of idlib in almost a month.

9:18 am
major football clubs are targeting young fans with gambling ads on thejunior sections of their websites. logos and links to gambling sites often appeared next to instructions of how to join junior clubs at teams in the premier league, spl and championship. the advertising standards authority says the clubs were blatantly breaking the rules and have now launched their own investigation. adrian goldberg is with me now. tell us more about what you found. we were concerned about the apparent targeting of children by betting companies and particularly around football because 60% of clubs in the english premier league and championship are sponsored by betting firms. we looked at the
9:19 am
clu bs betting firms. we looked at the clubs specifically who were sponsored by these gambling companies and 15 of them and you said that encompasses clubs in the premier league, the english championship, the scottish premier league, 15 of them had links through to betting companies on the children's section of their websites. since we alerted the club to that fact they have taken down those links, the english football league has said they are embarrassed by ourfindings, league has said they are embarrassed by our findings, they have apologised and they say it was all down to a misunderstanding of the advertising standards operated routes but nevertheless it highlights the fact that without our intervention you have young people being clearly targeted through the football clu b being clearly targeted through the football club loyalties by betting firms. and gambling amongst young people is an increasing problem, isn't it? i think the gambling commission said 25,000 children are already problem gamblers which is an extra ordinary statistic. the. yes, we've seen studies which show one in
9:20 am
four children that were surveyed, 750 children surveyed across ten different schools, one in four surveyed had a gambling app on their phone and one in three of those had gambled in the last month. so clearly you ng gambled in the last month. so clearly young people are gambling very early, even if these links have been taken down on the football club websites, if you watch a football match you might be astonished to learn the normal watershed which prevents gambling adverts before nine o'clock is actually suspended around football. so if young people are watching the all on tv which of course they will do at any time of day whether on itv, sky or bt, they may well be bombarded with a gambling adverts. itv are reckoned to have shown 90 minutes of gambling adverts during the world cup and of course many millions of children will have been watching itv for those world cup games last summer. so since you brought this
9:21 am
investigation is what have the advertising standards party said? 0bviously they were concerned with what they regarded as a blatant breach of the regulations, as i said the football authorities especially the football authorities especially the football league have apologised, saying they are sorry these links have come down, but the families of those who have taken their own lives asa those who have taken their own lives as a result of gambling addiction say much greater research and funding research on the links between people getting hurt at the very young age and the possible tragic consequences of that. adrian, many thanks. adrian goldberg from five live investigates. north korea has held a military parade to mark its 70th anniversary without displaying intercontinental ballistic missiles. there were tanks, weapons and thousands of goose—stepping soldiers parading through the streets of pyongyang to show their devotion to their leader, kim jong—un. but the event focused on peace and economic development, with doctors, nurses and engineers taking part on colourful floats. the parade comes at a sensitive time
9:22 am
as efforts to ease tensions with the united states have stalled. let's talk to laura bicker in the south korean capital, seoul this seems to have been a slightly toned down military parade. little bit of a softer approach, not what we have come to expect on many occasions from north korea but as you rightly point out there were tanks, artillery, wednesday, the goose—stepping soldiers but missing we re goose—stepping soldiers but missing were the intercontinental of the stick missiles which many believe are capable of reaching the united states. but showing them at this centre that time would perhaps have revoked the us, this is the time for north korea is dry to be a bit more diplomatic, dry to talk to donald trump. they want something, they wa nt trump. they want something, they wantan end trump. they want something, they want an end to the korean war, that
9:23 am
endedin want an end to the korean war, that ended in 53, the fighting did at least, but it ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty and now kimjong armistice, not a peace treaty and now kim jong and armistice, not a peace treaty and now kimjong and not armistice, not a peace treaty and now kim jong and not only ones that peace treaty but he also wants economic sanctions lifted. so the message he is sending both his people and the international community with this parade is we are focused on the economy, not on building weapons. of course in june we have that summit with kim jong—un and donald trump and singapore, donald trump saying the world was a safer place as the result, kim jong—un, sink denuclearisation but what has happened to all of that since then and are we with prospects of denuclearisation of the korean peninsula? all the toxin to have come to a grinding halt. the problem is it's the starting point, offered do we come from? north korea wants that peace treaty, the ender for declaration. the us wants north
9:24 am
korea to give up its weapons so until the two make a move for word seems to be this gap in the middle. coming through to try and save these talks is president moon, and south korea, he will travel for a three—day visit in a couple of weeks time, to try and make progress but it's worth pointing out, he will then fly to new york to the un general assembly and he will meet with president trump. what south korea is trying to do is get the two sides to step forward, will he be successful? it seems kim jong—un wa nts to successful? it seems kim jong—un wants to make some kind of deal, this parade, toned down parade would seem this parade, toned down parade would seem to signal that but it would be interesting to see what the united states is prepared to give in return. laura, thank you. the british star 0livia colman has been named best actress at this year's venice film festival for her portrayal of queen anne in the favourite, which is due for release in the uk next year. the festival's top award,
9:25 am
the golden lion, went to a black—and—white spanish—language drama called roma. it brings netflix its first major festival victory and seals the online streaming company's reputation as a big name in arthouse movies. laura westbrook reports. alfonso cuaron's roma is a deeply personal black—and—white memoir. it was inspired by his childhood in the roma district of mexico city and the film seems to have inspired thejudges, too. alfonso cuaron for roma. taking the top prize at the venice film festival. it was a decision that was reached entirely unanimously by the entire jury. so 9—0. i am the queen. but you are mad. the favourite, which, like roma, focuses predominantly on female characters, took the grand jury prize. its star, 0livia colman,
9:26 am
received the best actress award for her portrayal of queen anne. best actor went to willem dafoe, who played vincent van gogh in the biopic at eternity‘s gates. despite stories about women dominating the festival, only one of the films was directed by a woman. jennifer kent took the specialjury prize for the nightingale, a revenge thriller set in 19th—century tasmania. and she made a plea in her acceptance speech. i would just also like to say to all those women out there wanting to make films, please go and do it, we need you. applause. however, the talk of the night was most certainly netflix. roma was one of six netflix films that premiered here and it is the first big win for the streaming service at a major festival. cannes banned netflix from its competition.
9:27 am
the online giant has been attacked for its strategy of making films available for streaming on the same day they are released in cinemas. while some worry about what that would do to the movie industry, alfonso cuaron sees it as an opportunity. this is a film that is in black—and—white, in spanish and mixteco, in mexican. with no recognisable actors or stars. and they are giving a huge, huge international push for this film. releasing it both streaming and also theatrical. not any company does that. as the conversation about the future of film continues, what does seem certain is that we will hear more about roma as the awards season approaches. nora westbrook, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomas. after the grey and damp start this
