need to stockpile. raise my game, we need to stockpile. we have bought up most of the pasture in south london, we are prepared. civil unrest on the streets, a shortage of medicine, and our ports and airports at a standstill. this is the image that the mirror is putting forward, which is good scary stuff, i suppose. lovely picture of prince charles. what is all this in aid of? well, it is his 70th birthday, and a picture released last week. more soft focus pictures of him with his grandson. it isa pictures of him with his grandson. it is a lovely picture. i think over the last few years, since prince william has had his young family, that perhaps prince charles had not had the time, because he is so committed to all his causes, to devote some time to his grandchildren, and i think the middleton is, it has been said by royal courtiers, but they have spent rather more time with their grandchildren than prince charles ——

middletons. this is a rather handy photo as we have been talking about succession, and so forth, to show the royal equivalent of picking up a baby on the political stump. it is his grandson, it is a lovely photograph. you can get too cynical. it isa photograph. you can get too cynical. it is a nice photo. i think it cou nters it is a nice photo. i think it counters those arguments that he is not a loving grandfather. could also just shows how much the royal family have come along. they have had to do a lot of modernising. they are not your normalfamily, a lot of modernising. they are not your normal family, are they? a lot of modernising. they are not your normalfamily, are they? , on, peter. i agree, it is a touching picture, but it is part of the bigger pr offensive. it has been a pleasure. thank you very much to both of you. that's 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 seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this evening, peter conradi and john crowley.

ina in a moment we will have a special programme on wayne rooney in washington. until then, cheerio. the success of the club has been long established. they had some great years between ‘96 and 200a. they lacked in recent years the star quality. there was really no player that stood out, that really appealed to the masses. wayne's name came up, and instantly you get excited. you know, everyone knows who wayne is, and the resume, and what he is about. when the name wayne rooney was linked to dc united, people knew that was a big deal. we had a sense early on that he had

a connection with the city. we took him to audi field. showed him the some of the areas where he could find a home for his family. obviously that's a big part of the equation. what are we going to do with the kids, schools, homes? he got really comfortable early on, and really i think after today's time he said "i'm all in, i want to do this". i can see the team are talented, and they're in a good position, really. i just want to come in and help the team. we've — we being the mls — maybe in the early days were guilty of players in europe or south america coming over here in their 30s for vacation. and as the league has gone, that doesn't fly anymore. the league is very good.

he put that to rest very early, when he came over for his first game with us, and even with his players in the first training session. guys like that, you don't know how they will come into the locker room and work with the team. wayne was one of the guys that was humbled, and talk to everyone on the first day on and joked with us. he's been very cohesive with the group. it's been great working on and off the field with them. since day one he's been there for us. his first day the ground, he arrived july at almost 100 degrees temperatures. crazy hot summer day in dc. we had some academy members present there, and he is talking to players and you can see his connection there with his team—mates. and at the end of the session he carries equipment, grabs it, walks it into the equipment room. we don't have a lot of first—team pros that do that. just shows that he is prepared to roll up his sleeves and get prepared to work. i think he has been a perfect fit.

you don't know what you would get in a forward defensively. he is here to win and perform and do whatever it takes to win a game. that resonated within our team. he does what he does. he trains hard, he makes the right play, he is super talented as a player. a player with a large amount of experience. it was pretty seamless. he just fit in. instantly he became one of the guys, he didn't ask for special treatment. and i think the guys took to him fairly quickly. i think it's important you're part of the team and you do what your team—mates are doing and you don't start demanding things. it's not a big issue, to be honest. again, it'sjust wayne. he just wants to play his football. he doesn't care about all those things. he cares about the team—mates

and being in a good situation but not about all this other stuff. he just wants to play the game, he loves the game. you always said you wouldn't play abroad, didn't you? what changed ? when i was younger, you never think of playing anywhere other than the premier league, you just look at different opportunities and you have to make a decision on what the best avenue to take is really. and i felt at the time this was the best for me to take. how important was it for you to come here with still plenty left in the tank? yeah, i think it was the right time for me to come and play here, but also for my family, with the ages of my children. if i came here two years down the line, it probably would have been too late to try and start at a later age. i think my age and the timing with my children was right. what are the biggest sort of lifestyle changes for you being here?

i think it's just a bit more relaxing for us as a family. if you want to go to the supermarket or you want to pop out and get a coffee, then it's quite easy to do, where at times in england it could be difficult. to have a bit more space and more time to enjoy with your family, which is something that i like. you don't have the tabloids after you. he's allowed to come here with his wife and family, live in the suburbs, take his kids to the playground. in dc, he can have that life. still a very international city. still easy to get back and forth wherever he wants to go, but without that flash that la or new york would have, where he's not going being chased by the tabloids any more, which is probably a pleasant change for him. everyone knows you back home and you do have to plan more than you would. you can pick the kids up from school, be a bit spontaneous and go and do whatever the kids

want to do rather than sometimes doing what you think is the easiest thing to do. you're not a zlatan, you're not a showy person, you don't have a big ego. but you almost get airdropped midseason into a club. that's a difficult thing to negotiate. were you worried about what they might think of you? no, not really. i think i've always been confident in my ability. the weather at the time, it was so hot and... playing in that heat, it was fine, i adjusted really well to it. we went on a good run of winning games and once the team saw you were good enough to win games against the better teams in the league also, it gave the team a lot of confidence and would be playing for the last two months now.

was it important for you to let the fans and the people who hired you very early on that you weren't just here for one final big paycheque, you were here to work? yeah, i think particularly the owners and the manager, they knew from speaking to me that wasn't the case. and you have people who compare you to other players who came over here and not do as well. i was worried that this was another cash grab that he would come here and make some money and, "see you later" and that was it. we're in last place so it could not have gotten much worse. it was midseason, you drop a superstar into a club, a league he's never played in, players he has never played with. it is not going to work right away or at least that'd what everybody expected. you have a corner at the end of the game. they need three points out of this match, one point will not do it. but to take a loss in this

situation would be gutting. it comes out well, johnson's running on it. he is one of the players that other players dislike off the pitch. but for fans, you can imagine how we feel about him. our defence is up in the box. will they take it away from us? will this be it? then i see this streak going across the field. i was thinking that is great, now our defence can get back. you just think at least it's done. then all of a sudden, it is served up field. he lashes this 40 yard crossfield ball right on the head of a 5—3 attack. i think his header actually gets lost for the size of him to get up so high and the given squirrel, it was a great header. it was a big moment to go from following and win the game, and really give us the belief

that we could go on and make the playoffs. that's a type of moment you don't need to hammer home to your team. there were 50 million views around the world or however many. these guys are on their phones all day long and they see it and they understood what it represented and what type of person and player that we now are happy to have here at dc united. i watch him at the end of the game, he is grinning from ear to ear. he looks like a kid having a blast. it could be someone's backyard, it could be on the street somewhere, and it becomes infectious. if that can happen, anything can happen in our season, and it did. i think he's raised the level of everyone on our team. eve ryone's gotten better after he ccme here. it's pretty cool to see that when you know the guys have potential and then he brings the best out of them. he's pretty vocal in the locker room

and before games or even halftime and after games. there was an instance last week where we had won a game and it wasn't our best performance by any means, and he came in and said wasn't good enough and everyone was kind of thrown off because whoa, we just won the game. it wasn't good enough? it was a nice kick in the butt. it was a wake—up call for us. he came here looking at the 20—year—old looking to prove himself. that's kind of the level of effort he was laying out. yeah, the response from the supporters and other players in the field that everyone has responded to that. i'm not someone that just wants to win, you want to win and perform well. of course, this came from... you want to perform well as a team and no what you are working on in training is what you are achieving on the pitch.

the facilities are probably not what he is used to in england. i have seen those training grounds. yeah, this needs some work. you have room to them on a teammate. that must be a new thing for him. yeah, he said he just wants to be another guy on the team and that's the way you are treated here and he flew on a commercial flight with us and then roomed with me in one of our away games, so i guess it was weird for him. it was different. i have never really done this work before. but that is part of it, and again, it's not really a big deal to me. but he had a gripe about you, didn't he? he did. i usually like to sleep with my laptop like some form of sitcom, because i like to fall asleep to a type of show that i have watched before and anything i love, trashy reality television. what do you think annoyed him

about rooming with you? i don't know, i think i would be the perfect roommate. has he imposed music on the locker room yet? a little bit. i put on the music i want rather than theirs. it's a little different than what i am used to listening to. a bit ofjames bay. mumford and sons. it's quite chilled out really. maybe that's the problem. you're too chilled out. what was it like this summer to watch england reached the semi—final in the world cup? the last time i watched england and going to parties, the set up, was when i was 16 and i7. to go back to that and watch as a fan was different than what i had been used to. but it was great. as an england fan, i obviously wanted them to go one step further and try to get to the final, where anything can happen. plenty of pundits, including roy hodgson, yourformer manager,

saying you have left europe too soon. you still have plenty left to give, what would you say to them? yeah, i still feel good of the play in the premier league but again. it was a decision i made based on where i felt was the right place for me to play. i think he's enjoying it and as a manager, that is exciting, to have a guy come in your team with his resume, but his stature and to be enjoying the game again. when i watched him last year, it did not seem like he was having as much fun as he is right now. he was at his boyhood club but he was in a bad situation, which was almost worse. and how tough that is, to be hoping for the fairy tale ending and thenjust being put in the wrong situation with a manager you're not clicking with, and then you come here and you have the polar opposite of that. do you feel like you had maybe fallen out a little bit of love

with the game? no, i think i've always loved playing and obviously, the time last season was a bit frustrating at times. different managers playing different positions, disappointed with the way it ended. the way that ended, but it opened a new chapterfor me here. when he came, i think it was his third game or maybe even his second game. i looked out there and he was laughing, he was smiling, he was laughing with another player. and i don't see that much in the premiership. i don't see a lot of smiles on players' faces during the game, and i think that's great. i don't want to underestimate his influence on our team and the relevance of our team right now in the city. we've been a long time and we've created a pretty loyal fan base that we're sending home happy. and there's a really good buzz about this team and he's certainly been the catalyst for that. plenty of people, we've seen beckham

and larson come over here and in a four—month break they go back, train with clubs and premier league, play for the clubs back in europe, would that be something you might look at? no. it wouldn't be fair to my children, also obviously the people here. going for a few months, then coming back... 123, united. the decision i made was to play for dc and i'm fully committed to itand... you can create great moments of history. and we're on the right step to doing that. hello there. we've had some decent

sunshine over the weekend, which has left us with clear skies. generally, it should be a frost free night on account of all the cloud moving in the north sea and also it stays quite easy overnight and that keeps the foster day for most of the uk, the foster day for most of the uk, the frost probably limited to these northern and western areas of scotla nd northern and western areas of scotland by the end of the night. monday, completely different day where the ways compared to the weekend, when we had all that sunshine. monday promises to be cloudy. the afternoon, the cloud thickens, showers moving in. we will be the most frequent around lincolnshire and for the north—west of wales as well. this is going to be really cool day. north—easterly winds dragging a lot of cloud. a bit of wintry mixed in with some of these and temperatures, look at these, by degrees celsius for birmingham and london tuesday afternoon, a factor in the strong north—easterly winds. the summit is going to feel closer to freezing. that is your latest weather. —— for
