commentatorjames millar. before the papers — sport. a full round—up of the rugby later was exciting, wasn't it? yes, they are still on course for victory, wales, with a stunning victory, wales, with a stunning victory over england. wales came roaring back and went ahead with 13 minutes to go. when cory hill made it over the line. and with replacement dan biggar taking control, josh adams sealed it at the death to chalk up a 14th consecutive win for wales in a delirious principality stadium. look, it is a pretty special group of boys at the moment. they, you know, rob evans said to me the other day there is not one

person in this squad that i would not want to, you know, do something for in terms of how tight they are. they are a great group at the moment. scotland's 20—year wait for a victory in paris goes on after they were beaten 27—10 by france. an injury—hit scotland shipped four tries as france claimed a bonus—point victory and their first win of the tournament. this afternoon sees ireland face italy in rome. and the home nations didn't have the best day in the women's tournament. france beat scotland 111—10. gabrielle vernier helped seal a win with a hat—trick try. scotland have now lost their opening three fixtures in the tournament. and italy secured their first six nations victory over ireland with a 29—27 win. giada franco scored the winning try — her second of the game. wales meet england this afternoon. football now and some rather heated scenes at burnley as tottenham manager mauricio pochettino confronted the referee after losing 2—1. ashley barnes got the winner seven

minutes from time to leave spurs stuck five points behind manchester city and liverpool in the race for the premier league title, but at the final whistle pochettino had a heated exchange with mike dean and appeared to be upset by something the referee said to him. the spurs boss says he may apologise for his behaviour. looking ahead to this afternoon then and liverpool could go back to the top of the premier league table, but they'll need to get a result against rivals manchester united at old trafford. however ole gunnar solskjaer isn't concerning himself with liverpool's title race. you know the end effect that it might have, but we can't go into this game thinking like we can do someone else a favour, we have to do ourselves a favour, and we can't control who is going to win the league, we can only control the games we play against the top teams.

that match gets under way at five past two and after that, it's the final of the league cup. manchester city face chelsea at wembley vying for the first piece of silverware in the men's game this season. pep guardiola says he's focussed on this game — and not liverpool's match at old trafford. it will be good for us if manchester united have a result, but for united 01’ united have a result, but for united or liverpool, it isn't important, you know? they have many trophies and titles, but this isn't our case, and titles, but this isn't our case, and to play the final will be good and to play the final will be good and helps us to grow like a club, you know? for that new players coming in, new managers in the future, they have to know about the latter stages of all the titles, and thatis latter stages of all the titles, and that is where i come. manchester city picked up the first silverware of the women's domestic season — the continental cup — beating holders arsenal on penalties. the match finished 0—0 after extra time.

karen bardsley proved key in the shoot out, saving twice. and that allowed janine beckie to secure victory — as city won 11—2 on penalties. it's the third time they've won the trophy. chris eubankjunior scored the biggest victory of his career with a unanimous points win over former world champion james degale. eubankjunior put degale down twice during the super—middleweight contest in london — and afterwards he described the win as "a statement". degale says he'll now talk to his family about his future after a glittering career at the top level. that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, here's ben brown with the papers. hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are the sunday times journalist rosamund urwin and political

commentatorjames millar. let's take a look at the front pages. the observer reports that some of labour s most influential figures are telling jeremy corbyn to change his approach on issues including antisemitism and brexit. the sunday telegraph leads on an editorial by the northern ireland ministerjohn penrose in which he says that delaying britain's departure from the eu is an "elephant trap" that could kill off brexit altogether. the sunday express says that the prime minister has been told to hold her nerve by the former brexit minister david jones and other prominent eurosceptics. the sunday times says a vicious cabinet war has erupted over plans by senior ministers to delay brexit. the mail on sunday alleges the former head of gchq quit his post after giving a character statement for a catholic priest laterjailed for child sex offences.

robert hannigan told the paper he had acted in good faith — but that subsequent criminal actions showed hisjudgment was completely wrong. rosamond, let's kick off with your paper, the sunday times, talking about theresa may and the split cabinet, rivals accusing amber rudd of leading a revolt. yes, there is a lot of attention on amber rudd after the daily mail editorial by her, greg clark and david gauke, they we re greg clark and david gauke, they were looking to take no deal out of the equation as an option. then her collea g u es the equation as an option. then her colleagues last night were rounding on her, some of them calling even for her to be sacked. not putting their names on it of course, but they are saying astonishing disloyalty. and there is a reason she is being picked out beyond the

fa ct she is being picked out beyond the fact that she is very close to the prime minister, she obviously was brought back into the cabinet after quite a short time following all the windrush scandal that happened under her watch, and she is the most high of those three, but there is a bit of those three, but there is a bit ofa of those three, but there is a bit of a feeling i think particularly from women mps this morning, why is she being singled out? why her? yes. and there is a lot here where you canjust and there is a lot here where you can just see this extraordinary split in the cabinet, where our favourite thing is to complain about each other. sale that sigh in your voice sums it up. we are supposed to be having another meaningful vote. do you think we will? no. you think there will be a delay? i have spoken to

people who are very close to number 10. very, very close? not theresa may, but close enough to know what is going on, and they have said, we are running down the clock. they are quite open about it, they want to i’ufi quite open about it, they want to run down the clock until close to march the 29th, and then they are hoping that somebody will blink, is the eu or the hoping that somebody will blink, is the eu orthe head—banging hoping that somebody will blink, is the eu or the head—banging wing of the eu or the head—banging wing of the tory party, whether they will get, the labour party could also blink i suppose and role in behind the deal and there are moves afoot, the deal and there are moves afoot, the so—called wilson kyle amendment, which it is suggested labour might go in behind, which would pave the way for a second referendum. there are [tioves way for a second referendum. there are moves afoot for things that might ease the passage of theresa may's deal, but i would be amazed if there is a vote this week. and the sunday telegraph lead with the idea that a delay to brexit would be an elephant trap that we can't escape, thatis

elephant trap that we can't escape, that isjohn elephant trap that we can't escape, that is john penrose elephant trap that we can't escape, that isjohn penrose the northern ireland minister writing that in the telegraph, and that is the fear of the brexiteers, that any sort of delay would be interminable? and that it would kill it off, which for a lot of people is not that unappealing an option, but i think the brexiteers would be very frustrated if that looks like it is what we are heading to. he is obviously saying that no—deal shouldn't be ta ken obviously saying that no—deal shouldn't be taken off the table, and removing that is damaging to the process. there is an interesting line here that philip hammond and david liddington, theresa may's de fa cto david liddington, theresa may's de facto deputy, they are privately also lobbying theresa may to take no deal off the table, so it wouldn't just be amber rudd, david gauke and greg clark, it is sort of five of them describing it as a pincer movement. but if the strategy is to run down the clock, then taking no deal off the table, she isn't going to wa nt deal off the table, she isn't going to want to do that? it is a

negotiating tactic. if you are talking about policy and politics, you take that off the table, because whichever way you look at it, it is a bad idea. i know that there are people who say it's not, but any expert will tell you that bad things will come down the line. in the long term it might be all ok, but you have to accept that in the short or medium term it will be a bad thing. but as a negotiating tactic, you've got to leave it there. you have to hope that your counterpart in those negotiations believes that you are willing to go that far. so many possible scenarios, including still conceivably another referendum, and the observer lead on labour's attitude to the whole thing, and jeremy corbyn of course with the defection of several labour mps, and they are saying in the observer that some of labour's most influential figures are now warning jeremy corbyn he does need to change his approach to brexit, but also

anti—semitism and infighting in the party. yes, you would really feel that labour should in theory be doing rather well at the moment, and of course that isn't really the reality. there is a poll that they mention later on where labour is substantially behind, obviously it is just substantially behind, obviously it isjust one substantially behind, obviously it is just one poll, substantially behind, obviously it isjust one poll, but substantially behind, obviously it is just one poll, but substantially behind, and where the new independent group of nps which isn't even a party at is getting a decent chunk of the vote. and obviously they don't even have candidates, even theoretically. but there is a lot of pressure onjeremy corbyn. i was watching him answer the questions about anti—semitism, and there is just a feeling, isn't there, that he can seem very deaf to hearing these voices from his party, and sadiq khan has written for the observer later on, saying essentially how shaming it is to the party how luciano mergea in particular who was a friend of his has been treated —— luciana berger

has been treated —— luciana berger has been treated —— luciana berger has been treated. obviouslyjohn mcdonnell has tried a little bit to make that message in the last week, but it doesn't... make that message in the last week, but it doesn't. .. what you think is the future of the independent group? will it become bigger and snowball, 01’ will it become bigger and snowball, or will it vanish into political history, do you think? it certainly looks like it is going to get bigger. the sunday telegraph of a front—page story saying some big cat that labour donors are throwing their weight behind it, and that is their weight behind it, and that is the first thing they need is a lot of money if they are going to become a party. a property tycoon has given {1.5 million under tony blair, ed miliband, gordon brown. so it is not pocket money but it's not enough to i’ufi pocket money but it's not enough to runa pocket money but it's not enough to run a party. there are unnamed sources in the paper today talking about politics, but this one says, i'm going to leave, i don't know when, but i am. the male has suggestions of other impeys who are

going tojump, and i think others willjoin. do you think it is easier tojump if willjoin. do you think it is easier to jump if other people have already done it and you are not the first? fair play to these people. chuka umunna has been accused of being all mouth and no trousers, but he has essentially detonated his political career. in brexit, said he believes in something. and once there is a quorum, if they get one or two more, there is more of them than the lib dems, and the polls suggest that support is coming from the lib dems, the poor old lib dems who thought they were getting back on their feet after 2017, have now been knocked straight back down again by this independent group. while we are talking about who might be next to 90, talking about who might be next to go, tojoin this independent talking about who might be next to go, to join this independent group, we have the mail on sunday speculating, and i suppose everyone is speculating. they are talking about louise ellman, after she is subjected to a soviet style show trial, that she is anotherjewish mp who is set to quit the labour party,

they are saying. and her seat is very nearly luciana berger's. it is perhaps less public than what happened to luciana berger, but on things like twitter she has been getting vile abuse. however, she has beenin getting vile abuse. however, she has been in the party were something like 55 years. the difficult thing for a lot of them is that this is their life. this has been in many cases a lot of their career, and making that step is difficult, and i think they deserve a lot of credit, those who have alreadyjumped, for the fact that it is a very brave decision, but i think you are quite right that once and people of saying hey, the emperor isn't wearing any clothes... what about more tory mps defecting? there are few issues in the tory party. at the end of the day it is a brexit issue. there has been some issue on welfare policies

and all the rest of it, but it is mainly brexit. but people like dominic grieve who we are talking to after ten o'clock, he has said if they were a no—deal brexit, he would be out. if there is no deal, things become very complicated inside the tory party, because he has said he would quit. would he join the independent group? is at a party, or is itjust a grouping of independents? in which case, yes, because all the independents would by theirvery because all the independents would by their very nature be in because all the independents would by theirvery nature be in it, to what extent is it organised? if there is no deal, then definitely things go very wacky inside the tory party or what is left of it, because at the end of the day, most tories don't want no deal, so is it the erg, the european research group are very pro brexit tories, are they the ones who will end up having to leave andjoin ones who will end up having to leave and join the brexit party, or ukip or whatever? but undoubtedly there will be more labour mps quitting labour, because this story about

louise ellman talks about the property is having with her local party. there are literally dozens, maybe hundreds of labour mps who are having the same issue, that their local party is full of momentum called corbyn supporters. the sunday times has an interesting take on brexit, saying that for many voters the day we stop talking about brexit can't come soon enough, but the archbishop of canterbury are so concerned about the state of the nation after march the 29th whatever happens that he is preparing us for five days of prayer. is that what the country needs at the moment? five days of prayer. is that what the country needs at the moment7m you believe in the power of prayer, it probably is maybe we need it before march the 21st, rather than afterwards. after the scottish referendum, before the referendum took place, there were plans for a service of coming together for all parties, whatever the result. this should have happened injune 2016,

and you could set the tone a bit better at that point. do you think divisions in the country are getting worse rather than better? yes, because people are getting more entrenched in their views. i don't know why this came out this week, but there were some study that looked at how anglicans had voted, and they were majority leave voters, but i think that was probably reflective of an age structure question rather than it being to do with religion. but i think it's good if you want to start trying to get people together and work with other faith groups. better late than never on that front, trying to build bridges is a good thing. shamima begum. the isis bride who went to syria as a 15—year—old, now 19. she has now accused the government of making an example of her by stripping her of her uk citizenship. that was an interview with the sunday telegraph. what you make of that? not wrong on that. she is wrong on almost everything else that

comes out of her mouth, but... she has given quite a lot of interviews. she has given a lot of interviews. it might be wise if someone had suggested that she would stop. there isa suggested that she would stop. there is a line in this story that is quite shocking as well, which is that she has been given her own tent in the refugee camp because she has been getting so much attention in the press. that is a bizarre thing about all of this. and she has been turned into some sort of weird celebrity out of this, which is to me very uncomfortable. i personally do not believe that we should be making this example of her, i think it is very unhelpful in undermining. james, what do you think? would you strip her of high citizenship?” don't have to make those decisions. but you can have an opinion.” don't have to make those decisions. but you can have an opinion. i think the government have made it look easier than is. it it is a very complex issue because you do set an example. she says britain are trying to make an example of her, obviously we are, next. but by doing that you

then set an example because there is obviously an issue with 115 collapsing, they will be a lot of foreign fighters who will have to be dealt with in some way, whatever that might mean. so it is complex. it isa that might mean. so it is complex. it is a classic case of our times if you like, the rise of populism, it isa you like, the rise of populism, it is a complex issue and whether you strip somebody of their citizenship is difficult, and sajid javid said he could just do it. i don't think it is difficult. it is a hugely unpopular opinion, but she is our problem and we should be dealing with her. that is perfectly valid, but it is difficult. and there is also a question about whether she has any other kind of citizenship. but why should she be bangladesh's problem either? , yes you can hand on all this foreign fighters, your say they are somebody else's problem, and that becomes a problem for yourself eventually. on a lighter note, the oscars are tonight. any tips? nothing i like

will win. what do you like? i thought that was a very good film, andi thought that was a very good film, and i was hoping spike lee might finally get best director after being overlooked and i liked vice. i suspect glenn close will edge out olivia colman, i think olivia colman is wonderful but i haven't seen the glenn close film, and she has been overlooked in the past. that is not a reason to get the award!” overlooked in the past. that is not a reason to get the award! i have seen a reason to get the award! i have seen both films, and i think than acting performance, glenn close's was... you have to support the brits at the oscars! i am only interested in what wins the kids film this year, because they are the only ones i see these days. we have a good

chance with richard e grant, although he is playing down his chances, but his performance is extraordinary. the best actress category is much stronger than best actor, which isn't always the case. but i thought that was interesting, because there are a lot of good performances they are up against. there is no standout film. i would go so faras there is no standout film. i would go so far as to suggest that it is not a particularly strong year. there have been some good movies. there have been some good movies. the green book i thought was excellent. there has been a pretty good year, but there is one standout film, it will be more of a spread, and the pick—up will be spread in terms of who benefits from the oscars bubbly. that is true, absolutely. right, well, the weather is so wonderful at the moment, you canjust sit is so wonderful at the moment, you can just sit out in the sunshine rather than going to the cinema. it's like mid—august. well, maybe

may. the observer have a nice picture, quiet afternoon yesterday's sunshine with the daffodil already out. this is stjames's park and london. temperatures in much of the country could reach double the seasonal country could reach double the seasonal average. country could reach double the seasonal average. it is lovely. is ita seasonal average. it is lovely. is it a bit alarming for it to be this warm? possibly, but we often get this with the weather. she is still wearing a jumper, or at least long sleeves. i saw people in t-shirts. somewhere else there is a bit about being... sign up tops off season as it is called in scotland. february is very early! there is a picture in london on the paper, well done, everybody, you have managed to get a few hundred yards from the office. but it is the hottest february day for hundreds of years in scotland. it is london and scotland that are enjoying the heat, and it's a really

nice piece of writing, and they have got the picture from this year in february where everybody is getting close to tops off, and last year we we re close to tops off, and last year we were under at least six inches of snow, so the difference is very striking, and we probably ought to be alarmed on a global warming scale, but, you know! quite make you wa nt scale, but, you know! quite make you want it both ways! james and rosamond, thank you very much. go and enjoy the sunshine. that is it for the paper today. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you. you can always see the programme again later on the bbc iplayer. goodbye.

hello there. we have a dry day coming up, and for most of us there will be lengthy spells of sunshine, but we have seen dense patches of fog around this morning, causing perhaps one or two problems out and about on the roads. that fog is due to clear away, and the weather will become sunny and very mild for the time of year once again. the fog has been sick this morning with visibility down to a hundred metres in places, so some slow going on the roads, and the fog is forecast to lift away. in many cases, clear blue sky as we go through this afternoon, it will become very mild, northern ireland missing out, it will be cloudy and breezy, but not cold. to put it in belfast reaching a high of 11, but these temperatures way above normalfor 11, but these temperatures way above normal for the 11, but these temperatures way above normalfor the time of 11, but these temperatures way above normal for the time of year, reaching 16 or 17 across parts of england and wales, and if we compare that with what we should be seeing this time of year, eight or nine, you can see it is very mild. most of

the temperatures we would normally see during the late part of spring, not late february. overnight, england and wales keeping the sky is clear, northern ireland and scotland keeping the cloud more. with the cloudy skies, not quite so cold across the north west, although there could be mist and fog patches. across southern england and the countryside, temperatures could get to as low as “11, so it will be a cold start for monday. monday, still high pressure in charge but with more of an atlantic feed working into the of the uk, we will see a change in the weather, bringing some wet weather to the hebrides, highlands, orkney and shetland later in the day. away from northern scotland, any mist and fog patches we re scotland, any mist and fog patches were clear away, the frost soon melting and we will see plenty of sunshine. notice much sunnier weather for northern ireland,

temperatures still very mild, if anything a little up on today's values, potentially reaching 17 or 18 degrees in the very warmest spots. any changes in the week ahead will be pretty slow. high pressure is going to stay with us for a while, but towards the end of the week, we will start to see some su btle week, we will start to see some subtle changes, with thicker cloud, and the temperature is slowly drifting down during the course of the week, but staying well above normalfor the week, but staying well above normal for the the week, but staying well above normalfor the time of the week, but staying well above normal for the time of year.
