‘ofthe ‘ of the state. ‘of the state. mental in the history of the state. mental health in the workplace should be given these same status as physical health, according to 50 business executives. and after 10am, you can hear from executives. and after 10am, you can hearfrom dominic executives. and after 10am, you can hear from dominic raab executives. and after 10am, you can hearfrom dominic raab himself on the andrew marr show. that on bbc 0ne. the andrew marr show. that on bbc one. a full review of the newspapers coming up are you injust a one. a full review of the newspapers coming up are you in just a moment, but first a full sports roundabout which comes from will perry at the bbc sports centre. hello. good morning. england's cricketers claimed their first series win in sri lanka for 17 years with a 57—run victory in the second test. the hosts started day five in pallekele needing 75 runs for victory. it took england just half an hour to get the three wickets they required to finish off sri lanka. moeen ali ended up with four wickets, jack leach got five in just his third test match for england. one more test to go in the series, but plenty of positives forjoe root‘s side in a part of the world where they'd really struggled in years gone by. it's their first away series win for two years. sri lanka have a reputation of
9:31 am
ambushing visitors here on pitches that suits them, that turned square and with lack of preparation the visiting teams have these days. they get beat in very resoundingly. south africa fairly recently had the same. so add to that england's overseas record which has been so poor recently. through all that in the mix and the fact that they have want not just these first two test matches but also the t20 series here and the one—day international series as well. they have never done that anywhere before. this really is a very significant achievement. ireland pulled off a stunning win over all blacks. it's only the 2nd time in their history they've beaten new zealand — the first on irish soil. it was the standout result on a big day of autumn international rugby as our sports correspondent joe wilson reports. in one place, the best two teams in the world, this was intense. ireland had to keep new zealand moving, keep them guessing, switch the play and there was jacob stockdale, you kick and hope.
9:32 am
the bounce worked. could he stretch? that was the moment. but defence is just as important. look at peter armani, snatching the ball a split second before the all blacks could grab it and score. new zealand were attacking until the last, no way through. 16—9, ireland have beaten the best in dublin, now they just need to win the world cup. elsewhere, scotland took on south africa with their free running, freethinking kind of rugby. that is a great try from scotland! but south africa's outstanding player said small moments were big moments. like this. they held on to win, 26—20. in cardiff, wales met tongan red with steel. their shirts are anthracite
9:33 am
colour, officially. there were new confirmations in the unfamiliar kits. ten welsh tries displayed strength in depth and strength in character. wales cut loose with 7a points in the end, lovely when a plan comes together. we spoke all week about timing and coming through at the end and it panned out exactly the way we thought. it was tough for us but we made it tougherfor them. japan made it truly tough for england at twickenham, bursting through the grey areas in england's defence to lead at half—time. confronted by huge embarrassment, potentially, england responded eventually. 35-15. if it's how you finish that counts, england did enough. joe wilson, bbc news. great rugby yesterday. there was a strange ending to the semis at the atp world tour finals as alexander zverev beat roger federer. the german stopped play in the tie break after a ball boy dropped a ball at the back of the court.
9:34 am
it's all above board and part of the rules of tennis for him to do that, but sections of the crowd didn't like it — and they made their feelings known when zverev spoke to annabelle croft after sealing the win. first of all, i want to apologise for the tie—break. the ballboy dropped ball, it is in the rules that we have to replay the point. i am not sure why you are all booing, he is telling the truth, the ballboy moved across the court and disrupted the play, i think you have to be a little bit more respectful. it is just unfortunate circumstances. these things happen. booing, i never like it, we see it in other sports, in tennis it is rare so when it happens you feel it is really personal and we take it very direct and i think it is unfortunate that this happened. sasha doesn't deserve it.
9:35 am
zverev will play novak djokovic in today's final at the 02 after the world number one comfortably beat south africa's kevin anderson. he's been almost perfect at the tournament so far and hasn't dropped a set all week. jamie murray's tournament, though, is over. he and partner bruno soares lost in a champions tie break in their semi finals. it's the third straight year they've been beaten at this stage. football, and scotland hammered albania 4—0 in the nations league. bournemouth's ryan fraser scored the first of the night with a fine curling effort. he was involved in the 11th goal as well, setting up celtic‘s james forrest to dink and volley into the back of the net. if scotland beat israel at hampden park on tuesday night, they'll be promoted to the second tier of the competition, and also secure a play—off spot for euro 2020. the scene is set for a dramatic afternoon at at wembley. it's winner takes all at as england host croatia
9:36 am
in the nations league. it's a repeat of the world cup semi final, which of course croatia won. if england win today — they'll top their group, lose and gareth southgate's side will be relegated. we are always improving and i think, in those five matches you have seen since the summer, what we have not done is sit on our laurels and say we are happy with what we did at the world cup and that is it for the year and we look forward to the european championships. we have wanted to keep improving and i think the players have shown that mentality as well. arsenal women will try to maintain their 100% winning record in the women's super league when they take on everton this afternoon mid table bristol city moved above liverpool with a 2—1win. ella rutherford scored what proved the decisive goal midway through the first half. great britain are still without a win at hockey‘s champions trophy in china. having drawn with the hosts in their opening match they lost 2—0 to australia this morning. their next game's against japan on tuesday. francesco molanari has all but been crowned race to dubai
9:37 am
champion. he can only be denied if tommy fleetwood wins the world tour championship and fleetwood is a long way down the leaderboard former masters champion danny willett is in contention for his first win since collecting the green jacket at augusta two and a half years ago. he's in a share of the lead in dubai. fleetwood failing to win will leave his friend and ryder cup teammate molinari in pole position to top the rankings. and ronnie 0'sullivan's through to the final of the northern ireland 0pen snooker after a thrilling deciding frame victory over mark selby. look at this. this incredible fluke in the decider proved pivotal for 0'sullivan, as he cleared up to take the match on the final black. he'll face judd trump in today's final in belfast. that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, here's ben brown with the papers. hello.
9:38 am
this is bbc news with ben brown. the headlines: hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are katy balls, political correspondent at the spectator and prashant rao, international editor of the atlantic. let's take a look at the front pages. the sunday telegraph leads on the bitter brexit row in the conservative party, reporting that 25 letters of no confidence in the prime minister have been submitted, with tory mp zac goldsmith adding his to the pile. meanwhile, the sunday express claims leading brexit campaigners and former cabinet ministers david davis and borisjohnson have had talks to decide
9:39 am
which of them should stand to replace the prime minister if there is a vote of no confidence. theresa may has allowed britain to be "blackmailed and bullied" by brussels — that's according to the former brexit secretary dominic raab in an interview with the sunday times. while the observer reports that a longer transition deal will cost more — adding up to £10 billion to the so—called divorce bill. the independent has a picture of protests by environmental campaigners as they brought parts of london to a standstill yesterday. the sunday mirror leads on a mother of three who took her own life after her daughter alleged she was chased by the nhs for prescripton fees. the mail on sunday has spoken to a teacher who claims vulnerable children at her school are being ‘tricked' into believing they are the wrong sex. brexit dominating. so we will start
9:40 am
off with the sunday times and this interview with dominic raab. he hasn't wasted a lot of time since he resigned in kicking the prime minister, frankly. this time last week, he was still brexit secretary and now he is still imagining what he would do, were he brexit secretary. so he has quit because he doesn't like theresa may's brexit deal and he has said that in a way pa rt deal and he has said that in a way part of the problem is the fact that brussels does not think that britain is willing to walk away and this is not the view of an irony resolve and he has suggested that what theresa may does need to do is walk away from the talks. i think it is quite unlikely that she will take his advice. what did you make of it all? just observing the drama at the intrigue at westminster over the last few days? it has been a fascinating few days to. what has been striking is the lack of alternatives presented. if these sort of steps were going to be taken, then what exactly is it that dominic raab or any of the number of others who have been critical of
9:41 am
theresa may would propose. i'm not saying that the deal is perfect, but lam saying that the deal is perfect, but i am curious because if you are going to make these suggestions and say that britain should have a steely resolve, etc, then what is the next step? gigli, you at westminster all last week. give us an insight into the atmosphere. westminster all last week. give us an insight into the atmospherem is frenzied, it is the brow, it is very chaotic. you always know that problems are afoot if college green has lots of gazebos and filming tents on it because no one wanted to leave the area because at any moment a politician could quit or someone could give a rant about a fairly politician, so that was ongoing. we heard this week... i was lucky to go to jacob rees—mogg press conference where he was telling us is basically why the european backbenchers hate this deal along with dominic raab and putting forward their problems. but we have yet to get solutions and
9:42 am
i think what dominic raab is saying here, he talks of dark forces in brussels but it seems to be this idea that if you walk away, then brussels will have to reconsider because they will start to get nerdy about an ordeal, and i think there was scepticism in number ten that that would actually work. prashant, the sunday telegraph, let's have a look at that front page. they are saying that the plot to oust the prime minister is nearing tipping point. we have been hearing that phrase for quite a long time, but it never quite seems to get to it. they need the 48 letters. a rather fetching picture of michael gove in his shorts outside his front door. but do you think they are going to get the 48 letters to trigger a vote of no—confidence? get the 48 letters to trigger a vote of no-confidence? i think katie would know this better than i would. it feels like theresa may has been oi'i it feels like theresa may has been on the brink for the entirety of premiership. you think it's coming? you're probably right. the truth is no one knows. if we look at the ports of the past year, which say we
9:43 am
are perilously close to the 48 letters. there are seven lists going round. steve baker, the arch brexiteer says there are over 50 names. but if you look at who has come forward and publicly said that they have sent a letter in, it is more like 25. there is some way to go. i think we can rule out a confidence vote this week coming but if the brexiteers can't reach 48 letters, i think this is going to start to get quite embarrassing. we will be hearing from dominic raab himself at 10am on the andrew marr programme, but already people are starting to talk about the contenders, aren't they, or who would take over from theresa may if there were a successful plot to topple her. let's go inside the sunday times because page 13, if you wa nt sunday times because page 13, if you want it, they've got a full list of the runners and riders, and dominic raab of course featured in there. they are saying he is the favourite. but there are also running to everybody else. jeremy hunt, a safe
9:44 am
pairof everybody else. jeremy hunt, a safe pair of hands. the foreign secretary the home secretary, the best back story. borisjohnson, darling of the right. and amber rudd, the remainder. katie, adding to the few bright nature of what has been going on at westminster and talking about a leadership contest that hasn't really... which we don't always leaving a going to happen. really... which we don't always leaving a going to happenm really... which we don't always leaving a going to happen. it is also very funny because we have the top five pictured here but if you look at the copy, it names several other people, even the attorney general, geoffrey cox, they say. also penny mordant. people thought she might resign but she is currently in cabinet. i do wonder whether all this might help theresa may a little bit because given that there are so many people who to be leader, if the brexiteers to get their way and they managed to oust theresa may with a confidence vote this week or next week and we enter a leadership contest, what people have talked about the idea of a ca reta ker have talked about the idea of a caretaker leader so they could agree
9:45 am
on one person to step in, perhaps david davis, who is keen to put himself forward, and be prime minister until there is a better time to have a leadership contest because given that we have this big vote and we are supposed to be leaving the eu quietening, to have a 12 week leadership contest would probably be seen as a little bit self—indulgent by the country at large. i was going to ask you, prashant, what large. i was going to ask you, prasha nt, what is large. i was going to ask you, prashant, what is your impression of what the country would want? would they want a new prime minister at this stage? i think this is a great point. there are not 12 weeks to spare, given that something is going to happen on march the 29th and so having this, as you rightly say, a self—indulgent leadership contest is a dangerous game to play. some of the stories that have been in the paper today have also pointed to a grudging appreciation on all sides of the political spectrum for theresa may. she is soldiering on. these kind of attempts to take down seem these kind of attempts to take down seem to also went her admirers or does the fact that she is refusing to give up. she believes that this is the best gross and she has argued forcefully for its. soldiering on a
9:46 am
bit like geoffrey boycott with lots of forward defences. and he has got her own interview in the sun on sunday. my deal restorers law and order to the united kingdom. yell back yet, so this is theresa may trying to make a positive case for her deal and i think for all the noise, we have heard everything that is wrong with it, but what number ten are really focusing on is that actually if theresa may's deal goes through, then britain does take back full control of its borders. free movement ends. and that is one of the big picture she is making there. you would also make payments to brussels and you can become an independent state, an issue that is potent and scotland's. sorry she is trying to put up the positives in her deal. i think the problem is that so many people are saying what they don't like about it and it is ha rd they don't like about it and it is hard for this to cut through. the 0bserver, they are sort of going... talking about what brussels thinks
9:47 am
of it all. i suppose in some ways we are being quite introspectivejust talking about how we see it and the tory party see it and how certain backbench mps see it. this is the view from brussels and they are telling theresa may more delays will cost the uk and £10 billion. this is another point. a lot of it, as you say, is somewhat introspective. all of the indications are that brussels will not be interested in any kind of renegotiation of what has come through so far. they had been fairly straightforward throughout this entire process as to what is and isn't a debatable issue. and so this isn't a debatable issue. and so this is increasingly important. we can talk about if the first vote doesn't go through and suddenly something has to be renegotiated. i'm not sure the european commission and the european community at large is willing to renegotiate any of this. throughout this process, it has been much more clear that these are the things that we will give up and these are the things that we will not give up. could there be more
9:48 am
negotiations, do you think, if parliament doesn't approve this deal? because parliament isn't very likely to prove this deal, the web that the maths are stacking up. i think every body agrees that. that the maths are stacking up. i think every body agrees thatm looks difficult. even theresa may's allies are saying that we might not get through the first and the second vote once people really think about it. i think at the moment brussels don't want to renegotiate this. they think they have agreed something a they think it is theirjob to hold firm. but that is difficult because you have the new guys, the... shall we call them the fab five? might be wrong. we have the ministers who have not quit who are apparently meeting tomorrow morning and want to talk about how they can change the deal of it. and i think what theresa may wants to show is that actually things aren't going to move and as mps begin to realise the fact that this is no longer negotiable, they will start to come round to her deal. that is optimistic but that is all she has right now. there is a
9:49 am
great cartoon in the sunday times. you are talking about what are the alternatives to this deal and in the sunday times they have this cartoon with various brexiteer backbenchers, jacob rees—mogg leading, saying, "what we want?" and then nothing. and then, "and now!" does that sum up and then, "and now!" does that sum up in and then, "and now!" does that sum upina and then, "and now!" does that sum up in a sense people scratching their heads and saying what are the alternatives to this deal. it neatly sums up alternatives to this deal. it neatly sums up a alternatives to this deal. it neatly sums up a lot of the debate around brexit. lots of people want very different things and so putting together a cogent and coherent alternative plan is very difficult because a lot of people want to have free trade in its purest form. 0thers free trade in its purest form. others want a protection system. 0ther others want a protection system. other people want more control of immigration and other people were willing to let that was a little bit. this idea that there isn't a lot of credible alternative plan sitting there for the taking i think isa sitting there for the taking i think is a bit ofa sitting there for the taking i think is a bit of a fantasy. data, a last word on brexit for you. crystal ball time. well theresa may survive these
9:50 am
various attempts to topple her, and will she get her draft negotiated agreement to the house of commons?” think if there is a confidence vote and there could be this week or next week, you can't rule it out, i think she would probably still win that. as for getting this deal through, i think that remains very hard to see how. but we're going to have a very difficult roller—coaster few months and it might be that in the end labour mps and it might be that in the end labourmps do and it might be that in the end labour mps do come to her rescue because if you look at the idea of an ordeal brexit, if that looks like an ordeal brexit, if that looks like a reality, she might get some extra votes, but it will be quite difficult for the conservative party. we have talked about brexit for a good ten minutes. which we pretty much do every sunday morning. let's move onto some of the other stories the papers. and the appalling wildfires in california, which have caused such staggering
9:51 am
destruction and death, and they feature... relegated to the inside pages, which i suppose if it weren't for the huge brexit row, they would be on the front pages, but the numbers are staggering because of all the death toll, prashant, is about 70 at the moment, the numbers of people missing have gone from sort of 200 to 600, to now about 1000 or even 1200. this could be a disaster on an absolutely enormous scale. i would argue it already is. as you rightly point out, these numbers could increase. i think the missing... this is where it is the emergency services get into the idea of you had to find out who's been identified at the various shelters that have cropped up. it also speaks toa that have cropped up. it also speaks to a lot of the things, a lot of the interesting thing is that we are seeing in terms of shifts in the united states right now. california, would we think about it often, is san francisco, los angeles, the tech hubs and things like that, but there is this other california that is more rural, that has kinds of apple
9:52 am
farms, places like that, and is more republican as well. and the president hasjust republican as well. and the president has just gone republican as well. and the president hasjust gone to california to tour these wildfires. it has become a political issue. it has become an environmental issue. it has become any number of issues and it really tells you a lot about some of the seven things that are happening in the united states right now. and you sort of wonder how in a town in modern america... i don't know. so maybe boogied i am so many people could be trapped there by these fires. and it has been going on for over a week and you do just think, how can it still be going on and so much devastation with each one? you have seen that donald trump has blamed forest management, but as you touched on, lots of people saying the main thing of climate change, something we know that donald trump is not particularly keen to champion is something that does need severe dressing. so i think you're going to see that debate ongoing. but the numbers are staggering. and 10,000 homes have
9:53 am
been destroyed to do expect the death toll to rise once again confirm where people are. and donald trump going there today, but after a disaster, whether it is a mass shooting or something else, he seems to bring controversy with him. that is true. i think in this particular case, the controversy was immediately after the fire started he had this fairly controversial twea ks he had this fairly controversial tweaks blaming forest management. he has somewhat what that back now but you has also been somewhat more considered tory since then —— conciliar tory since then. the fires have sounded like aircraft engines. it is truly terrifying watching them listening the footage from this complete catastrophe. 0k. one other complete catastrophe. ok. one other story that we are going to look at is on the front page of the mail on sunday. it is talking about a school with 17 children who are changing their gender. tel is a bit more
9:54 am
about that, katie. yellow back 17 pupils at one british school in the process of their gender. and the majority of these youngsters are autistic. they say this picks up on autistic. they say this picks up on a trend which is as more awareness is being brought on transgender issues, you are seeing a significant increase in the number of pupils at schools who are choosing to identify as transgender and also undergo gender... not always reassignment. it depends what level. but we identify or not identify as the sex they are born into. and it does seem like a lot of the cases are down to autistic pupils and it is raising questions about that and it is a teacher who is quite concerned that he points out that the advice given at least at her school was that you shouldn't tell the parents. you don't tell the parents at first. you don't tell the parents at first. you do speak to the pupils. anything thatis do speak to the pupils. anything that is created quite a lot of money for the parents. what did you make
9:55 am
of that story, prashant?” for the parents. what did you make of that story, prashant? i think it speaks to the complexity and the difficulty of running a school in the modern world but also, to your point, as these issues have come up, it is fairly natural as well for teenagers to think that they may be affected by them and in myriad different ways. i have no concept of how i would handle a situation like this, to be brutally frank. because there are so many things lying around. you speak to the idea that they are sobering to some measure of autism. they may well be transgender. it is hard. this is an issue that has been discussed more and more now in society. yes, and i think it is an issue that a lot of people can find quite hard to talk about because some people just say there should be no debate at all. you have two sides. when they have these things, it does get very fiery and the teacher who has decided to stay anonymous because she is scared that she could lose a job if she was to publicly come out, says that lots of the teachers sometimes query whether these pupils really should
9:56 am
be going through this and whether they will want it in a year, but they will want it in a year, but they don't want to bring it up because they think they will be accused of being transfer began lose theirjob. ok, thank you so much for being with us. that's it for our sunday morning edition of the papers. stay with us on bbc one for our exclusive interview with the former brexit secretary dominic raab, who will be on the andrew marr show at 10 o'clock. thanks again to my guests. goodbye from us. hello. it is a funny sandy out there for most of you. the fog that we started the day with clearing nicely. for the bus majority, sunshine all the way through to dusk today. winds lightest across the north but stronger in the south. coming from a more easterly
9:57 am
direction over the next few days. temperatures in double figures. reaching 13—15dc across some parts of the highlands this afternoon. 16 celsius on the north coast of iceland through this afternoon. you can see where the warm air is in europe. colder towards central and eastern areas. five celsius in germany. why are we looking there? that is where our air is coming from, bringing colder conditions towards us during the next 24 hours. also macleod once again coming in across parts of scotland and also to england and tonight, trundling westwards. clea rest for longest out of the west were they could be a touch of frost into tomorrow morning. eastern areas frost free will and what cloudier than this morning. here we go into the new week. a lot more cloud around, generally speaking. still some sunny spells in the west. now picking up the eastern scotland and for some in england to produce the odd shower. light rain showers mainly at this stage. mostly will stay dry.
9:58 am
easterly winds continuing to pick up and the temperatures will drop. instead of seeing widespread double figures, most in single digits through monday afternoon and much colder. we continue that easterly wind feeding in areas of cloud from parts of northern europe in the next few days. and we could see some showers become more persistent in and around the english channel. elsewhere, the cloud comes and goes. some sunny spells. a greater chance of showers on tuesday. especially for northern england and towards the southern counties where on the higher ground we could even see some fla kes higher ground we could even see some flakes of wet snow mixed in with the rain showers and multiples temperatures. all of us in single figures. 6—9dc. factor in the strength of the wind on tuesday. across england and wales, it will feel closer to freezing. a big, big shock to the system i suspect for many of you. so there is confirmation in capital cities after the sunshine of today. feeling colder. bye for now. this is bbc news, i'm ben brown.
9:59 am
the headlines at 10am. former brexit secretary dominic raab criticises the government for "failing to stand up to brussels bullies". president trump visits northern california following the most devastating wildfires in the state's history. this is very sad to see. as far as the lives are concerned, nobody knows quite yet. we're up to a certain number but we have a lot of people who aren't accounted for. mental health in the workplace should be given the same status as physical health, according to 50 top business executives. england's cricketers beat sri lanka by 57 runs, the first time in almost three years they've won an away test series. coming up at10.30.
