opponent and that meansjosh is undefeated in 22 fights. speculation abounds over who he might take on next. the home of english football for a night, at the centre of the boxing world. normally it takes two teams to fill the stadium, here it was done by one man. anthonyjoshua is fast becoming the biggest draw his sport has ever seen but wish that there is added pressure. these fa ns that there is added pressure. these fans don't really want to watch and compete, they expect him to win and do so in style. joshua's task to follow a spectacular entrance with fireworks of his own, in wet conditions such hopes were initially tells with alexander landing brutal blows, raising the possibility of an almighty upset. the response was that of a true champion. not for the first time in his career, joshua

ove rca m e first time in his career, joshua overcame adversity to devastate the russian and maintain an unblemished record. supporters were more than satisfied. i will always end up victorious because i think i have more depth and i know how to dig deep. i was not looking for a knockout but the instinct told me he was hacked and i knew it was time to get him out of there. i the focus turns to joshua's get him out of there. i the focus turns tojoshua's next opponent, the same venue turns tojoshua's next opponent, the same venue has already been booked for april but who will it be? there was a warm welcome to old trafford for sir alex ferguson after emergency surgery for sir alex ferguson after emergency surgery for for sir alex ferguson after emergency surgery for a for sir alex ferguson after emergency surgery for a brain hemorrhage in may. manchester united could only the occasion with a draw against wolves. liverpool have come clear at the top of the table, their best actress brenda league season. sir alex ferguson! this is the sound

of 70,000 people bringing a loved one back home, sir alex ferguson's influence isn't 0ld trafford's foundations and the stand united when he takes up his seat. he says pre—match nerves are still be same but when his old side went in front, this felt like the old days... on the problem is, today's man united let lead slip away and wolves at a site building their own brand. half the team and the manager are portugal's new stars and they make life ha rd portugal's new stars and they make life hard for their compatriot. the result is fair. they deserved that point. and i think we deserve the punishment of getting only one point. being the away team at anfield feels like punishment right now. especially if liverpool get a head start. that own goal had southampton up against it and this year, the site and read have found an extra edge. seven wins to start the season, their best since 1990.”

was only interested in history before the game. we tried to do this a seventh time, but now, i like it! i like that it happened, so that is cool i like that it happened, so that is cool. they're out in front at top but the site beside them have proven pedigree. sergio aguero marx his 300th appearance with a goal! by the end, man city were being given goals. the face of leicester's title, off the mac in pale blue. spurs hope for the storm to pass but their optimism has been dampened by results and a subtle hand, that outstretched arm enough for a penalty and when harry came stepped up, the somerfield feels less distant. just like in russia, he set his team on the way and the totte n ha m

his team on the way and the tottenham have lea ks his team on the way and the tottenham have leaks to fix, they have at least stop the downpour. elsewhere, wins for burnley and crystal palace and newcastle played out a crystal palace and newcastle played outa 0—0 crystal palace and newcastle played out a 0—0 draw. and to picture today, chelsea travel to west ham and later arsenal host everton. celtic and rangers both play today in the scottish premiership, yesterday ha rtz in the scottish premiership, yesterday hartz dropped points for the first time, held to a goalless draw in livingston and goal kick was held up by a false fire alarm at st mirren but that was as exciting as it got. in golf, tiger woods has given is a viv richards at winning his first tournament for five years, he had an outstanding start to the tour championship in atlanta, birdie at six of his five holes. a final day just at six of his five holes. a final dayjust behind justin rose. at six of his five holes. a final day just behind justin rose.” at six of his five holes. a final dayjust behind justin rose. i have been saying for a while, he has been

playing easily enough to win and it is just playing easily enough to win and it isjust a playing easily enough to win and it is just a matter of time. so, playing easily enough to win and it isjust a matter of time. so, he is going to be tough to beat. although he has not won for a long time, it is probably hard for him to win for the first time, it has been a long time, but he has so much positive experience to draw on. he is going to bea experience to draw on. he is going to be a hard guy to chase down. in by to be a hard guy to chase down. in rugby union, that beat northampton, bristol beat harlequins and wasps won at sale for the first time in yea rs. won at sale for the first time in years. johnny sexton celebrated his 150th leinster appearance with three conversions and the bonus point try, sweeping aside edinburgh in the pro 14. in sweeping aside edinburgh in the pro 1a. in rugby league, super eight st helens beat warrington for the third time this season, winning 34—14, and they will have a chance to do it

begun contingency planning for a snap general election in november. the sunday telegraph claims a conservative donor is threatening to fund a breakaway party if theresa may doesn't deliver brexit. in the sunday express — the prime minister says britain must hold it's nerve in the standoff with the eu. the observer has an interview with the deputy labour leader tom watson who has told the party leader, jeremy corbyn, they must back a second referendum. the mail on sunday claims an mp who's criticised jeremy corbyn needs an armed guard at the labour conference after receiving death threats. brexit and the labour party and a story on the front page of the sunday times that has had an outcrop of screaming in 0g all over twitter,

made's team planning a snap election? the headline made it sound more dramatic. when you read the story, a couple of aides had a conversation. should we call an election? maybe, i don't know. that was basically it. it was never put two chorizo may, never discussed with her, according to the story. i don't think we're quite there yet. we don't need to be... that is not to say an election is not coming. but they could be planning its. we could be into that territory? yes, i will put my money where my mouth is, theresa may is rotten at snap elections. look what happened last time! yes, the plane could be on the

battle carrier, it is a very thin story. we cannot find a main source for this. much more interesting story. we cannot find a main source forthis. much more interesting is flagging up the cosy day this get—together. this is the harder brexit element led by david davis and others, possibly with the collusion of nigel farage. they're going to work with a plan put forward by the institute of economic affairs, coming up tomorrow, of which the sunday times claims to have a link. we're still in legoland politics here. sort of canada, i do have to wave my arms but there were also be a separate anglo—irish treaty? come on! we're not going to get that done by them much. and that is my general reaction, but the leaders of the papers are so

confused, from right, left, in the middle, the only consistent thing is the paranoia about anything happening on the other side of the channel by the sunday telegraph! and there are a lot of people praising theresa may for sounding tough but they don't want to be so tough that she sticks to this plan which so many of them dislike. exactly, she has died in her heels and is sticking to her guns but it is not the guns they want to stick to. they wa nt the guns they want to stick to. they want her to shark checkers —— chuck chequers. anna soubry, nicky morgan, people like this, have cap and said they would not vote for a snap general election or do anything that might risk putting jeremy corbyn in power and that is the real nub of

this. the tories are wondering, can they live with themselves? one party that does want a general election is of course the observer but a lot of pressure on the party now to back another referendum on brexit and the 0bserver has a front—page saying, we must back members and new banks or third, watson tells corbyn. a lot of labour party members want this. lot of labour mps want that but the real unknown is what is happening, because i am not clear where momentum is in relation to established left—wingers in the party, which relates to this story, people like john mcdonnell aware of where they are sitting because it does look very metropolitan, this

argument for a second referendum but we will come onto that when we discussjeremy corbyn we will come onto that when we discuss jeremy corbyn because we will come onto that when we discussjeremy corbyn because he must declare whether he wants to go for a second referendum or a general election. bouncing through from brexit and i'd very much looks like the latter. twe nty20 brexit and i'd very much looks like the latter. twenty20 world cup to the latter. twenty20 world cup to the chase, it appears to me to talk about the problems of sourcing, very few hard names in this, it looks to me like a lot of wishful thinking. there's a lot of pressure at the party conference, there does seem to bea party conference, there does seem to be a ground swell of pressure coming from labour's grassroots. absolutely, tom watson has said that we should give the party back to the members, you can almost hear him licking his lips as he says it, the first time the membership is perhaps

out of kilter withjeremy corbyn. a lot of momentum are old reconstructed anti—europea ns in lot of momentum are old reconstructed anti—europeans in the style of tony benn and the membership... even in momentum, eca top to bottom split. interesting to see how it plays out but we heard andrew quinn, he was talking about another general election. and that is wherejeremy corbyn is at the moment? of course if you are in opposition you want a general election. i think he has more chance ofa election. i think he has more chance of a second referendum! but the thing that is absolutely clear, if you fish your way through the opinion polls, is the demographic shift, the new voters coming in since the referendum of 2016, this really is important. i think bubble

westminster is not taking this on board nearly enough. they are rather pro—european, you know? board nearly enough. they are rather pro-european, you know? and another story in the observer, looking at the conservative ministers wanting a —— warning a hard brexit risks the break—up of the uk? —— warning a hard brexit risks the break-up of the uk? i'm not sure this is something theresa may is thinking about at the moment. she's too busy about brexit. looked at the two scottish ladies, ruth davidson and the first minister, nicola sturgeon, i did mean to interrupt, but you are making a very good point but you are making a very good point but i want to make a wider point, coverage today is that the forensics of theresa may's policies in the summerand of theresa may's policies in the summer and what happened in

salzburg, have been, my opinion, this is an ancient but rather, the defence editor, i think it has been staggeringly poor because what happened was that it was clear the 27 had made up their mind they would not accept chequers because you eviscerate the single market but the other thing i know from personal experience is that they got michel barnier completely wrong. the theresa may team, as i have heard correctly from one of them, thought he was the villain of the piece, sort ofjean—claude juncker light, let's work around them, but it only took salzburg for the heads of government to come out and say the council of ministers is saying no, he is working to a very narrow remit because we give him his writing instructions, now that is not what has been coming out from the

briefings... hardliners within the party would like to go for tougher brexit, more like a canada free trade deal on this story is talking about the risk of the mood in scotla nd about the risk of the mood in scotland because of course, scotland voted strongly to remain and are still led by a very remain supporting first minister. and that is one of the things they have to ta ke is one of the things they have to take into play. if you were to go for a canada deal, it would give the uk back fishing waters, which is something massive for a scottish constituency, you would basically means that if you were to go for some of the other models so there is that element to take in... there's no indication the eu would go for a canada no indication the eu would go for a ca na da style no indication the eu would go for a canada style solution because they feel that with advantage certain aspects... donald tusk did something similar for aspects... donald tusk did something similarfor herto... aspects... donald tusk did something similar for her to. .. it would have to be modified. even the hardest hardliner, they are not talking

about a new deal hard brexit, let's crash out, there is much less of that now. and we're hearing in the sunday telegraph eight tory donor is threatening a breakaway brexit party. until now, the talk of breakaway parties has been about a centrist remain broadly blair party, this is a hardline brexit party? this is a city financier who has donated 1.5 million to vote leave. ina donated 1.5 million to vote leave. in a survey, tory rebels and 53% of people would consider voting for a new party if it aim was to deliver the brexit people voted for. which isa the brexit people voted for. which is a sample of? it is not a national

poll. it does give an indication of people, some people wanting a brexit they thought they were going to get which i think is not about trade, it is about immigration. i think that motivated most people. most people do not care about customs arrangements is and goods and services, what they will care about is whether or not we control our borders, that is the litmus test for the majority in this country, i think. i do not think there will be a new party in the centre left on the right of the tory party. but if ukip had kept itself together...” was going to say, we did have a party like that! they could have hoovered up this kind of feeling that somehow the establishment is ed ling people out of brexit. it is a right position. even nigel farage says this is too far, so there is a

vacuum says this is too far, so there is a vacuum for a new party in that space but i think it will more be leave people like nigel farage, as opposed toa people like nigel farage, as opposed to a new party. looking at the sunday mirror, all the parties trying to work out what to do about brexit. jeremy corbyn, my war on may. he says he will side with hardline brexiteers like jacob rees mogg in order to try to bring down theresa may, and force a general election? that's his name and i thinkjohn mcdonnell is, as well, despite what we have heard from tom watson, i am sure there is a general view among the parliamentary labour party that they would like to go for some sort of negotiated solution but they sense red meat and want to go

for a general election. remember, jeremy corbyn, even less thanjohn mcdonnell, doesn't really care all that much, historically, about the eu. very old—fashioned, you know, when we were really hard left, it was just a capitalist club, the equivalent of a multinational of the 19th century villains, that kind of attitude, so it is really almost incidental and could be catalysed but only brought in to help his main aim, his and john mcdonnell‘s main aim. it is difficult to see from the european research group, hardline brexiteers wanting to bring down theresa may if they think there is a risk ofjeremy corbyn getting in? exactly, it is all very well saying that thatjeremy exactly, it is all very well saying that that jeremy corbyn would side withjacob rees mogg but would it

work vice versa? some of these tories need to make a decision. what is more important? getting the kind of brexit they want? they need to compromise. i think the majority will come around to conclude as michael gove has, we just get out and then we can re—negotiate later. but if we break the party, there might not be a brexit at all. and that's the conclusion i think most will come true. it is a theme, but the michael gove view is that you do into... the european free trade area, nor are into... the european free trade area, norare we, into... the european free trade area, nor are we, you into... the european free trade area, norare we, you go into... the european free trade area, nor are we, you go there temporarily because it is a longer negotiations to get to where you wa nt to negotiations to get to where you want to be, which is the whole story of this. they thought it would be the easiest thing to do, then vote

out of europe, doctor liam fox, what a dreadful mess it has been... another story we must talk about, the bodyguard. we have all been gripped. keeley hawes is the best home secretary we never had! apparently, she might still be alive? well... julia montague... i did of course meanjulia montague, the character, rather than keeley hawes translation: : the character, rather than keeley hawes translation: i loved line of duty, where she was splendid. they did not quite kill her off. if we're going to get a second series, they cannot do without her, come on! going to get a second series, they cannot do without her, come 0mm

has really gripped the public. everyone is binge—watch. sometimes if you stagger things for six weeks you get those water cooler moments which we thought perhaps were no longer around. most people know it is hokum but it is beautifully played, beautifully produced, top. something to look forward to tonight. thank you both very much indeed. that's it for the papers this morning. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news websit at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to my guests, 0wen bennett and robert fox. goodbye. the rest of sunday will be more straightforward, scattered showers.

a miserable morning across cornwall, devon and south wales, heavy rain that that is moving through that a pace. this has been the story so far. rain pushing in across wales and the midlands. some quite heavy. behind that, brighter sunnier skies. further north, a beautiful start. into the afternoon, showers becoming more widespread. through lincolnshire, east anglia, into the south—east corner, rain still needs to clear away and it will be pretty miserable with blustery winds. behind that, scattered showers, better across much of the south west, wales, more frequent showers in scotland and northern ireland and northern england, accompanied by wind. that will take the edge off,

but temperatures struggling. that rain in east anglia and the south—east will ease a way during the early evening, winds will be light and showers will ease away. with high pressure building from the west, a quiet story. just the risk of week weather fronts toppling across the top. more of a risk of a breeze and scattered showers but generally, a settled stay on monday with decent sunshine and warm, temperatures peaking at 12—16dc. mist and fog across england and wales, first thing, tuesday, but winds will strengthen further north, perhaps gale force by the end of the day for northern ireland and western scotland. a degree or so warmer in

the south—east corner. throughout the south—east corner. throughout the week, chilly starts, but a good deal of sunny weather and then turning wet and windy in the north and eventually warmer. this is bbc news. the headlines at ten o'clock. backing another brexit vote — the labour leadership say they'll support another referendum, if that is what party members want. for any leadership it means that you do have to listen to the people and if they tell us that they want to shift position on brexit then we will have to take that on board. a tax on second homes — labour announces new plans as their annual conference gets underway today. us media giant comcast wins a bidding war to take control of tv broadcaster sky. shareholders are urged to accept the offer.

falling for scams. reports of fraud almost double in three years.
