just a reminder of our top story. vincent kompany is leaving manchester city after 11 years after lifting the fa cup with them yesterday. now, and bbc news, the papers. hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are sunday times journalist, rosamund urwin, and the journalist and commentatorjosie cox. a warm welcome to you both. let's take a look at the front pages. the 0bserver‘s front page talks of labour's fears that the party's ambiguous stance on brexit could hand votes to the lib dems in the upcoming european elections. the sunday times says tory heavyweights are calling for a return to the "centre ground" in party politics. with michael heseltine saying he won't vote for the conservatives because of the party's position on brexit. the sunday telegraph claims theresa may blocked ministers from proposing a new law that could have protected

northern ireland veterans from facing murder charges from the troubles. and the sunday express says britain believes nigel farage is best placed to lead brexit negotiations, according to a poll done for the paper. the mail carries a strenuous denial from one of labour's longest—serving mp, the former minister, geoffrey robinson, over allegations that he spied for communist czechoslovakia during the cold war. and the sunday mirror leads on an interview with the fiancee of steve dymond, who was found dead after appearing on itv‘s jeremy kyle show, saying she can't believe the show was cancelled. so, there we are. that is looking at most of the front pages. let's start off, rosamund come up with the sunday times, your paper. one of the

most powerful things in the papers todayis most powerful things in the papers today is a piece by lord heseltine, talking about brexit. 0bviously he backed remain, he will not vote for the conservatives on thursday in the european elections, he will fade lib dems, and he describes brexit as seeping a poison into every family, age—group, class and region, and says the conservative party is no different. he says that the is myopically focused on doing some sort of extraordinary act of economic self—harm. he, and also john major, the former prime minister, are calling here for the tory party to return to the centre ground. they are saying, as they poll atrociously in these elections, that they need to do something differently. it is quite a statement from michael heseltine because he is a real tory grandee, but saying that he won't vote for the party he has been associated with for so long. he won't vote for the party he has been associated with for so longm underscores where we are at. the article here sight to behold, i

think. 0ne article here sight to behold, i think. one of them that the tories at 9% in the european elections coming up on thursday, which put them ona coming up on thursday, which put them on a par with the green party. that is an indicator of the extent to which the crisis has developed within the tory party. but not only in the tory party, also in labour, which we will come unto in greater detail later. many see themselves as rumanians and levers, as opposed to tories or labour party or lib dems —— remain at or lever. actually, remain plus migrate primary party is labour. in these elections, the brexit party clearly for leavers is a primary party. it red rew for leavers is a primary party. it redrew the political landscape, certainly, but the problem is our

two main parties are not poles apart in their position on it. yes, for these elections, but you might as well vote tactically in european elections. they are not the same as oui’ elections. they are not the same as our first past the post system. because up for it being proportional representation, you might as well vote for the party that you back most. the observer is saying that the liberal democrats are really benefiting, they think, from labour ‘s difficulties on brexit in particular. it is interesting, you said that labour is still the primary party for remain voters, but the observer site a opinion poll here, which shows that lib dems have fiow here, which shows that lib dems have now slightly overtaken, they have a marginal lead in the lib dems on remain voters. that is indicative of how quickly things are moving. remain voters. that is indicative of how quickly things are movinglj should how quickly things are moving.” should have been more clear. i meant voting intention in westminster

elections, not european ones. this shows that the alternatives are running out, and that politics is still a game of personalities, people still want to vote for somebody who they believe shares their values and principles, but there is such a lack of clarity on what those actually are, so there may have got to look for alternatives and see who we are most closely aligned to. the european elections are quite surreal, aren't they? we voted to leave three years ago, almost, and here we are, fighting european elections to see who we will send to the european parliament. and this is what theresa may was so desperate to avoid having to do. her hand was forced by the rejection of her deal. understandable rejection of her deal because it made almost nobody happy. but yes, it is a slightly surreal scenario. also, we are going to send... the brexit party might decline slightly, we have seen that

in elections in the past, where ukip was pulling ahead of where taxi tra nslates was pulling ahead of where taxi translates to in numbers, but we are going to send a load of mps, european mps, his cell purpose —— whose sole purpose is to get us out of there, it is mad. on the upside, interest in european elections has never been higher. that's right. a bit of a perverse outcome. you could get a low turnout on the basis of people thinking, why is this still going on? why are we not in a more clear position? you don't think it will be a high turnout?” clear position? you don't think it will be a high turnout? i don't know. well, we will wait and see. let's move away from brexit and politics, and continuing fallout, really, from thejeremy kyle show.

and this is steve dymond's the a nswer and this is steve dymond's the answer saying she wants the show to come back on the air. she says the note he left before killing himself did not blame the programme. yes, obviously she is the person most clearly a ble obviously she is the person most clearly able to talk about his case, however this was a show that played and abused and exploited people as its reason for the end. it turned peoples lives into entertainment as a way of laughing at them, and that sits uncomfortably with a lot of people, and it has for a long time. this is a catalyst for something i argue should have happened a long time ago. it may not have been for him, and we are always advised journalists not to attribute motive when we are talking about suicide, but in this case, it may not have been the programme, however the programme has, i would argue, i've used other people in its treatment of them. i agree. this headline as

it stands kind of reads like a defence of the jeremy kyle show, and perhaps why the decision to take it off there was rash and should not have been taken. but nonetheless, we can't lose sight of the broader issues that this raises. as you say, they have been going on for years. it is interesting. was it 1a years on the air? everybody now is saying what an awful programme it was, but why was it able to last so long, if that were the case? what has happened here creates a platform for that, and to create the opportunity to actually raise the debate around it and voice opinions around it that perhaps previously didn't have a window. it was the most watched daytime show on itv. i always wonder about whether people are watching it feel good about themselves. we don't a lwa ys feel good about themselves. we don't always do things that are kind to ourselves. there was a piece written about seven years ago which was

setting out how exploitative the show was, and this was in the world, it just needed something show was, and this was in the world, itjust needed something to change the conversation. 0k, the conversation. ok, the telegraph, revealed how theresa may failed veterans facing prosecution. this is about whether a new law that could have protected northern ireland british army vetera ns northern ireland british army veterans from facing murder charges was blocked by the prime minister. it isa was blocked by the prime minister. it is a statute of limitations. unhistorical prosecutions of military personnel. this raises this age—old debate which we have had for decades, about whether individuals can be held responsible for their own actions if those actions were instructed by their superiors. i do think that have to be very careful in the way that we treat veterans and the actions they have taken, and several people have taken the point that we cannot equate them to terrorists, for example. nevertheless, it brings us back to the debate around world defence, and

whether it is ever ok, and it is ever morally ok to murder someone, essentially. obviously, this article talks about bloody sunday, not the greatest day in british political life, and my view, which is not a popular one in this country, and will probably find more popularity in the republic of ireland, is that it is an extraordinary situation where17—year—old boys, six of them are killed, and nobody... you know, we expect a higher standard of behaviour from soldiers because they are trained, they are people who have chosen that life. i accept it isa have chosen that life. i accept it is a very difficult life, and i accept that they may feel angry about this, but people were shot in the back that day, and ifind it extraordinary that the backing is towards people who were trained, and went in there and behaved in a way

that, to me, is completely inappropriate. i understand why victims families are so angry. inappropriate. i understand why victims families are so angrym inappropriate. i understand why victims families are so angry. it is an unpopular view. we welcome all these here. the sunday telegraph also, this story about britain ‘s cocaine crisis. use of cocaine has doubled in seven yea rs, of cocaine has doubled in seven years, they are saying. it is remarkable figures. we were talking about this before we came on. this is research that was done into the waste water. they basically looked, asi waste water. they basically looked, as i understand it, cocaine is a drug that is metabolised, so you can essentially look in the sewer system. what a job! they have drawn the conclusion that about 200,000 doses of the drug are used every day, which they have then extrapolated to say that means one in 50 people in the capital are taking cocaine daily. we have got to

bea taking cocaine daily. we have got to be a little bit catholic here with the method of calculation because, you know, it assumes that only one person takes one day is on any given day. we would rather assume there are some people who are taking rather more in a day. yes, but beyond that, the more interesting point it raises is that london is up there with the cities where cocaine is is most prevalent in europe, along with bristol, interestingly. perhaps the question we should be asking is, why is that the case, and what can we do to change that? let's also talk about another front—page story in your paper, the sunday times, about the creator of fleabag, who is very popular. yes, one of our most successful writers at the moment, just one in three batters,

and she has said in an interview that she gave in the us but did not get any pick—up over there yet, she is not big name their yet, she said that as a child she was the ultimate tomboy. she rebelled against her friends who loved dolls and dresses, shaved off all her hair, and demanded her parents called her alex thinking it was a boys name. she has said here that she thinks if she was around today, people might suggest to her, sorry, she said she would have jumped at the chance to become a boy. obviously it is quite a controversial elite for a lot of people, however i have always thought that it is healthy for children to be able to play a bit with gender, and it is good if children feel that being a girl does not mean they have to like pink things and dolls. eurovision song

contest last night, we came last. we did. i must confess, i didn't stick it out for the whole thing, but it looked to me that it had it had quite a bit of what we expect from your edition. britain coming last, some great outfits. the netherlands one, which i think it's probably not controversial, and a nice little bit of politics thrown in, a bit of scandal. iceland displayed palestinian flags at some point, madonna performed... yes, that was the only bit i saw, and she did not seem the only bit i saw, and she did not seem to be at her best. quite a cute flat notes. i love madonna and i think it is amazing that she is still putting her middle finger up at her critics after all these yea rs. at her critics after all these years. i don't care how she sounded, she is an incredible woman. why did we do so badly? we always do badly,

don't we? is it brexit related? we have always done badly. cliff richard did all right. we don't really put our primary brilliant pop a cts really put our primary brilliant pop acts up, do we? the last story of the day is the picture of the duchess of cambridge, which is on a couple of front pages. she is at the chelsea flower show. it is a lovely picture, she looks very wholesome. she is wearing her hiking boots, and she really looks quite authentic and down to earth, which is lovely. as i understand it, it is a tribute to princess diana. she planted some forget—me—nots. princess diana. she planted some forget-me-nots. it isjust a nice... you were saying glowing earlier on. it is very natural, isn't it? it is not a particularly natural position. it isa not a particularly natural position. it is a lovely photograph, and obviously the chelsea flower show

kicks off and she has done this garden, and it is a lovely thing. the idea is to encourage children to spend more time outdoors. she has a big push for early years development. well done to her. nice to see both of you. thank you for talking us through some of the stories in today's newspapers. 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 website. it's all there for you, seven days a week. if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to rosamund urwin and josie cox. goodbye. hello. another day of davenport dodging on our hands. some pretty hefty showers around. it was a great start. this is how it looks close to dundee earlier on. for most places,

skies have been brightening and we are seeing some skies have been brightening and we are seeing some sunny skies have been brightening and we are seeing some sunny spells. with that, the chance for some heavy and thundery downpours. low pressure just about in charge of the scene at the moment, which is what is allowing the showers to bubble up. quite hit and miss, some places will get drenched, but others will stay com pletely get drenched, but others will stay completely dry. for the afternoon, some spells of sunshine, increasingly developing, but sparking off some heavy, thundery downpours. let's take a closer look. this is apm. scotland having a brighter day than yesterday, the cloud peeling westwards to reveal some sunny cloud peeling westwards to reveal some sunny spells, but a scattering of showers especially over higher ground. 15 celsius in aberdeen. northern ireland is holding on to more cloud for the day and it will be late before things brightening up here. for england and wales, some sunny spells, some showers will be slow moving. for eastern coastal counties, always the chance for some sea fog to map onto the shore line,

making it a bit murky at times. temperatures in the sunshine up to 20 celsius. this evening, showers will fade, but they will continue to be large areas of cloud floating around, some mist and fog forming once again. overnight temperatures not dropping too far, so a mild night, 7—11dc. into tomorrow, a mild but rather grey and murky start for many of us, the odd spot of drizzle around first thing. through the day, some spells of sunshine, but equally showers may break out across eastern parts, and quite a few showers across scotland. temperatures doing quite well in the sunshine, up to 20 celsius at best. by tuesday, not as many showers, high pressure trying to build in from the west. more dry weather, spells of sunshine, still the odd downpour across parts of scotland, but temperatures in the high teens. another mainly dry day

on wednesday, but the signs are then that it will turn more unsettled towards the end of the week.

this is bbc news, i'm ben brown. the headlines at 10: theresa may promises mps a ‘bold' new offer on brexit, to try to get her deal through parliament before she leaves office. a bbc investigation finds a fall in the number of prosecutions for revenge porn, even though there are more reported incidents of it. # all i know, all i know, loving you is a losing game #. triumph for the netherlands in this year's eurovision song contest, but despair for the uk, who finished last. manchester city celebrate victory in the fa cup final, as their captain vincent kompany announces he will leave the club this summer. and wyre davies is in cardiff, following the lives of those living on the streets of the welsh capital.
