egypt's public prosecutor says e.coli was a factor in the death of a british couple at a hotel in the resort of hurghada. battening down the hatches. nearly two million people are ordered to leave their homes as several american states prepare for the arrival of hurricane florence. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are jack blanchard, editor of politico london playbook, and pippa crerar, deputy political editor at the guardian. welcome to you both. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. and the i is told that senior tory mps are plotting a coup to bring the prime minister down in april. "how has our country come to this?"

is splashed across tomorrow's express, as it reports on verbal attacks against jacob rees—mogg and his children outside theirfamily home. the price of oil hits a four—year—high, is the lead in the ft, as it warns hurricane florence is heightening fears of a supply shortfall. richard branson in a pickle, is the headline in the metro. passengers hit back at the virgin boss after he moaned about people being late on social media. every patient should be able to skype their gp. the telegraph reports on the health secretary's plans to end a postcode lottery in care. the guardian leads with a warning from gordon brown, who says the world is sleepwalking towards a new financial crisis that could see a repeat of the crash a decade ago. and prices at the fuel pumps rise for a tenth week in a row, this

how much can drivers take, asks the daily mail, —— this how much can drivers take, asks the daily mail, as petrol prices hit a four—year—high. tory mps plan april coup against theresa may. white april? —— why. theresa may. white april? —— why. there has been a feeble atmosphere in westminster the past couple of days and a lot of discussion linked to the prime minister's chequer‘s plan, about how the party might depose her and introduced a resolution to the brexit problem. although they actually haven't got one yet. they have a 140 page document which keeps getting promised and delayed. anyway, they have decided that april is the time to come out against the pm, the significance of that is that we will

leave the european union at the end of march and there is a feeling, not just amongst the harder brexiteers, but amongst other ambitious individuals in the party who are currently being quite legal, that that would be the moment to maybe stop, reflect and move on to a different type of leadership. theresa may at that point would have delivered a hard work of getting a deal with the eu and getting it through the house of commons and actually at that point people, the public might want a younger, more dynamic or a different approach and focus. of course it is only one of the dates that is suggested that. is another body of opinion that thinks it should happen now, or at least when a deal is agreed with the european union sometime wobbly in november. —— probably. by that point, thejuggernaut is november. —— probably. by that point, the juggernaut is already pushing firmly down the track and would be very difficult to stop. the

important thing to say is that there isa very important thing to say is that there is a very specific set of rules about how you can get rid of a tory leader. are a not many ways you can do it. the main one is that a sufficient number of tory mps call for a vote of no confidence in the prime minister topic they think there might be enough of them to do that. then they would need to have a vote amongst all of the mps about whether she stays or goes. for the rebels to win that they would need a majority, it is like 158 tory mps to say yes. nobody really thinks they have got those numbers. including them. the timing is crucial. the timing is crucial. there will be ple nty of timing is crucial. there will be plenty of mps who do not rate her, but say what does it look like getting rid of the leader of this country at an absolute moment of importance when she is about to sign important deal, how does it look to the public? to the rest of the world ? probably the public? to the rest of the world? probably not great. they will be much more interested to do it next year once that negotiation, or

at least the first part of it, it is out of the way and britain has left the eu. everyone you speak to has a different opinion. poor old theresa may. they all have something to say and most of them is when do we get rid of theresa may? you don't envy her. let's have a look at the telegraph. the uk will not pay eu bill without the brexit deal. this isa bill without the brexit deal. this is a threat, i guess, from the brexit secretary, isn't it? he has been talking to the telegraph ahead ofa been talking to the telegraph ahead of a meeting with michel barnier tomorrow. quite a big day tomorrow in terms of return's no deal operations of. a few things happening. a special cabinet meeting tomorrow morning when the cabinet will get together, it doesn't happen often that they meet twice in a week but this is the special extra meeting where they will discuss return's reparations for a no deal scenario. then brexit secretary will publish papers at out what that will

look like if we have no deal and then he will go to brussels and talk to michel barnier about same subject. we will hear a lot more about this. he has written a piece today and in it he contains this threat that were it to happen, we get no deal, then return's13 and —— 39 billion pound at we have put on the table, we will take it off and think about it. they are not saying we will not pay a penny. this is not just we are leaving money, some of this is for projects that have been signed, pensions commitments and they still need that money, i think we will be taking another close look at what our financial commitments really are. do we really need to pay that billion? you might find that it was all a lot less and later then we agree that. notjust directed at the eu, notjust pretend stepping up their rhetoric and saying give us their rhetoric and saying give us the deal we want otherwise we will not give you the money, it is directed at those tory brexiteers

that we have been talking about, one of their biggest objections to the whole settlement as it currently stands is this 40 billion quid handed over, with not much in return. but it is one of the biggest areas of contention and by throwing areas of contention and by throwing a bit of red meat at this precise moment when there is this feverish talk about leadership bids and getting rid of the prime minister, it is an indication to them from the government that they are concerned to be listened to. a toughening of the government ‘s rhetoric, isn't it? yesterday we heard from the chancellor philip hammond that we will meet our financial obligations. but of course, what is a financial obligation? are we really obliged? that is a matter for the lawyers to sort out. if there is no deal, it will be pretend's lawyers to decide what those are. even that is quite subjective. what is interesting about this story and the first story

we talked about, the possible coup against theresa may, we'll see a lot of this over the few weeks and months. as the get closer to the brexit deal, we will see more posturing about this real brinkmanship as you get close to signing and at the same time we will see a lot of tory mps unhappy with the way it is going, mouthing off and making things in the papers and making speeches, trying to put pressure on the pm. for downing street it is all about holding firm and getting to the point that they need to get to. let's move on to your paper, the guardian. an interview with the former prime minister, gordon brown. the world is sleepwalking towards a new financial crisis, coming ten years after the colla pse crisis, coming ten years after the collapse of the lehman brothers and the start of the financial crisis. since then, despite the terrible worldwide global downturn that

followed and led to a decade of austerity, as the conservatives put it, their attempt to rebuild the economy. he says that despite that, the causes of the natural crash hadn't yet been addressed and failed, international government's have failed to remedy the causes of that. big problems still remain unsolved. not only that, but the solutions to the global crisis last time around, which stopped it from being worse than it ended up. reducing interest rates, financial ministries being led to cut taxes and increase public spending, and in the case of a decade ago, china acted as a creditor, an economic stimulus. none of those are likely to be possible in the same way. not only have the initial problems that created the downturn, the financial crisis, still existing, but the solutions of two that are no longer

there. bryan penned this picture in this interview with larry elliott, ofa this interview with larry elliott, of a global situation where countries are retreating in nationalist silent. we see this in america and its protectionist policies and some of the trade disputes happening around the world. it is really worrying, just —— depending on what side of the political fence you sit on the. brain at the time was one of the instigators of the g20 and was seen as being a leading figure globally and trying to address the problem. it isa and trying to address the problem. it is a pretty depressing assessment, do you agree with it?|j am not qualified enough in economics to question it. a flippant point is will the sleepwalking towards the financial crisis, a man who was an expert at that at the treasury. he is also someone you should

definitely listen to. he has been through this and clearly is an expert and i think most people feel, i heard george was burned —— george osborne, saying that he did a pretty good job once that it. we shouldn't have been in the position but want it hit you did a good job of helping us it hit you did a good job of helping us get away from it as best as we could. saved the world, didn't he? the serious point is that he would save the world —— who would save the world this time? the world is at loggerheads, donald trump is kicking off at europe, with china. the idea that someone would get all these people in a room and how will we fix this quickly, which is what happened la st this quickly, which is what happened last time, looks a lot more difficult. so it certainly, it is not something you would want to happen at the moment when the state of international relations. very striking photograph on the front of the guardian and we have been reporting on it today. the opening of the new museum in scotland, in dundee, scotland's first design

museum. it does look amazing. and the gallery should be an amazing. i suppose the big question is, will it help regenerate dundee in a way that the guggenheim regenerated bill bauer? that's what they hope, isn't it? and it has cost £80 million to build, which is slightly more than they anticipated, as is often the case with major arts projects, closer to home, the baltic arts centre in gateshead, the effect that had on gateshead and newcastle, now dundee is a different city anyway, from the one it was when i used to visit readily as a child, and in recent yea rs visit readily as a child, and in recent years there is being a lot more focus on arts, there's galleries. they put in for the... they were going to put in for the european capital of culture. so there's a real focus on it. european capital of culture. so there's a realfocus on it. it's european capital of culture. so there's a real focus on it. it's a different city from the one it once was. nevertheless having a major british art institute right there

which people will go for, just to visit the v&a, can only be a boom. they are calling it the v&tay. 0h, very good. it will mean people in the area, there is a reason everyone knows about, let's go there. let's go to dundee and they won't just go to the gallery. exactly. when they are there. they will see the city. these things bills. they will bring in visitors and investment and keep things moving forward. in visitors and investment and keep things moving forwardlj in visitors and investment and keep things moving forward. i can't wait to see the building. it looks terrific. let's turn to the times andi terrific. let's turn to the times and i have to say not for the first time the archbishop of canterbury has weighed in with some political opinions," tories last welby for parroting labour view" and he went to talk to the trade union congress. yes, he gave a speech at the trade union congress, the annual gathering of the trade unions, the first time and archbishop has done that in over

100 years i think. lord carey did it once. two before him. two in 100 yea rs. once. two before him. two in 100 years. so it is a rarity. he is not being criticised for that. he says it is important to build bridges and speak to all parts of the community. some of the things he was saying by his standards, quite a political archbishop, looks really political, attacking the lack of tax paid by amazon, attacking the gig economy and how it works, saying that is leaving workers high and dry, even at hacking the government universal credit policy, specifically peaking ata credit policy, specifically peaking at a flagship government project, and saying if they can't get it right, they have to stop that, and whether or not you agree with that there is a legitimate conversation to have about whether that's what you expect from a religious figure. it depends on your political stance because the times says tories blast

welc for parroting the labour view while the mirror says deliver us from evil. it is a very different perspective. —— from evil. it is a very different perspective. — — welby. from evil. it is a very different perspective. —— welby. while tory mps criticise the archbishop in their words for copying john mcdonnell's point of view the reaction at the congress today was really quite welcoming and there was a huge amount of applause when he finished speaking. and it prompted quite interesting debate about what unionjesus would quite interesting debate about what union jesus would have quite interesting debate about what unionjesus would have been quite interesting debate about what union jesus would have been a quite interesting debate about what unionjesus would have been a member of, carpenter unites, or provider bread and wine, the baker's union, but what he said, yes, he acknowledged it political intervention, but he stressed it is not party political. lots of conservative mps might not agree with that. are not sure they would agree with that. i'm not sure the time stars. troubled mums net is

driving fear of childbirth. a female expert i think who is warning that mums writing about their difficult births is putting... is it that they are putting other mums off? no suggestion that the birth rate is falling. it is traumatising them apparently and making them scared of giving birth. but whether you google someone's birth story or whether you sit and talk with your friends or family about birth stories, you hear them from across the spectrum anyway, don't you, and for any pregnant woman... my sister is expecting her first child tomorrow. i hope she is not watching. it is really easy, no problem at all. i've got three, all fine. inevitably, women fear the pain of labour. let's face it, if not exactly a pain—free experience. —— it is not exactly a

pain—free experience. i am sure that if you google happy stories about birth you would have lots of positive experiences as well, because of course it doesn't have to because of course it doesn't have to bea because of course it doesn't have to be a complete nightmare and lots of people i have to say, genuinely i have to say, i was extremely lucky in all three of mine that they were straightforward and what you get at the end of it makes it quite worthwhile. you get it pretty quickly. so i kind of thing it's all very well to warn about this, but women have always known that childbirth requires a bit of work. it's called labour for a reason. yes, indeed. i've learnt a new word, jack, tocophobia, which occurs when anxiety about giving birth overwhelms a woman's daily life. sounds serious, there is a phobia about everything, is in there? let's move on to the metro mac and branson

ina move on to the metro mac and branson in a pickle. richard branson taken to twitter because he was delayed and hates lateness but it has rather backfired on him. yes, so he tweeted. .. he didn't backfired on him. yes, so he tweeted... he didn't say he was delayed. it is probably the grumpy tweet that you say. there is very little that annoys me in life, but people turning up late really does. punctuality shows organisation and respect for others. and what they shows possibly you might say is our lack of self—awareness from a billionaire who owns a train company which so frequently late. people certainly in the past to have used virgin services would look at that and say, "you haven't got a clue, make!" lots of people would be asking how long it has been since he travelled on some of those trains. and he probably travels around in a helicopter and doesn't have to worry

about delays. the metro says the latest figures show that 18% of the west coast services were delayed. so, yeah, good job west coast services were delayed. so, yeah, goodjob he west coast services were delayed. so, yeah, good job he doesn't have to get them, isn't it! on that bombshell, we shall leave it there. that is 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, 7 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 jack blanchard and pippa crear. thank you for watching. until the next time, goodbye. good evening. the six time paralympic champion david weir has spoken of the depression which made him consider ending his life after the rio games. having won gold at at the beijing and london paralympics he returned from brazil two years ago empty handed. speaking to the bbc he said he had suicidal thoughts in the months that followed.

i found ifound someone i found someone that wasn't involved in sport, didn't know me, literally the first conversation i was on the floor in bits, to be honest, crying and... didn't realise how bad it was, yeah. it has been the toughest journey of my life. but, i mean, it is such a positive mindset now that, you know, nothing can get in my way and ifi you know, nothing can get in my way and if i want to get to tokyo i am going to make sure i am going to get there. simon yates has maintained his lead in the tour of spain aftre today's 17th stage. his lead was over 30 seconds heading into the basque country today — he lost eight seconds on his nearest rival alejandro valverde, but remains ahead in the general classification. four stages of the race remain. yates is aiming to becomejust the second british rider to win it after chris froome's success in 2017. us open champion naomi osaka says she thought the crowds were booing her as she stood on stage before accepting her trophy on saturday.

the atmosphere inside the arena turned when umpire carlos ramos docked serena williams a game after she'd called him a thief. speaking on the ellen degeres show in the united states the 20—year—old said she tried to block the events out. when you are little, you are told not to look, like, at your opponent if they get angry, you are told to, like, turn around and focus, so i tried to do that, but i heard a lot of people in the crowd making noises andi of people in the crowd making noises and i really wanted to turn around. at the time i did kind of thing they we re at the time i did kind of thing they were booeing at me. oh, no. i couldn't tell what was going on because it was so loud. it was a little stressful. receiving the trophy, there was a lot of booing in the crowd and then serena leaned over and the crowd and then serena leaned overand said summing the crowd and then serena leaned over and said summing to you. what did she say? she was proud of me and that the crowd wasn't booing at me,

so that the crowd wasn't booing at me, soi that the crowd wasn't booing at me, so i was really happy. naomi osaka speaking on the ellen degeneres tv show. dan evans will play for great britain for the first time since serving a 12—month ban for cocaine use in friday's davis cup tie against uzbekistan. evans has mainly played on the second—tier challenger tour since making his comeback in april. cameron norrie and jay clarke are also in the team, with doubles specialists jamie murray and dominic inglot. both chelsea and glasgow city have won their opening games of the women's champions league this afternoon. glasgow city beat cypriots somatio barcelona 2—0 in the first leg of round of 32 tie. english champions chelsea started their campaign with a 5—0 trashing of sarajevo. anthonyjoshua says an anglo—american power struggle is getting in the way of a potential world heavyweight title fight with american deontay wilder. joshua is preparing to take on russian alexander povetkin a week on saturday but wants a bout with wilder next april at wembley. there's been no agreement between the two camps for a fight which could seejoshua crowned the undisputed world champion. it has been a lot of talking, a lot

back and forth. i think, like, i think it is that divide, uk — usa, the usa want, like, so only division again. i think it has been a long time since great britain had this kind of respect in this division, and people have teams now, educators, broadcasters, back and forth, and ultimately thingsjust ta ke forth, and ultimately thingsjust take time and we haven't got that much time in this division. it is certainly the fight that the fa ns wa nt to it is certainly the fight that the fans want to see as well. that's all the sport for now. good evening to you. it was a cool day across southern england today. that is compare to the mild and muqqy that is compare to the mild and muggy conditions only on. that's because of the front that brought quite a grey day across southern areas. sandra and elsewhere. and weather front here areas. sandra and elsewhere. and weatherfront here is pushing into
