hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow. with me are arj singh, the deputy political editor at the huffpost uk and lucy fisher, the defence correspondent for the times. and again, politics are dominating the front pages of all the papers. the telegraph reports on the prime minister besieged in no ten as minister andrea leadsom quits, and her cabinet revolts. the daily express asks "how much more can she take" using a picture of the prime minister looking "beleaguered and bleary eyed" — they say — as she faces mutiny from her own party the same picture is on the front of the mirror, with the headline "tears in the back seat" — comparing it to a similar picture taken after thatcher's departure. more of the same in the i, who call it a cabinet coup — pointing out how she refused to meet ministers as the party

tried to oust her. the guardian says barricaded inside number ten, as may clings on to power. and the times says she'll announce her departure on friday, that's according to her own allies, the paper says. it's really one story for a lot of those papers, shall we start off with the times? because that, although we know there was a meeting to be held on friday, you know there was nothing definite through the day today to say that it would be friday, but that announcement could come the day after. we saw the refusal to meet with cabinet ministers, she has been bunkering down obviously, tomorrow we have the

european elections and that i think everything today suggested that there will be this friday show down, the tory back benches they could to try to make the site oi’ they could to try to make the site orfate, they could to try to make the site or fate, they they could to try to make the site orfate, they decide they could to try to make the site or fate, they decide the leadership rules and allowed the mp ouster, that has been delayed so it is all going to take place on friday this week. there've been some question marks over what will be discussed with brady, probably the bill but also a change of rules. so there is no clarity, is there. do you think she will wait for the 1922 committee to say, you will go? or will it build up within the cabinet and the pressure that we have seen today, will that be enough? as you say, it isa will that be enough? as you say, it is a stark choice between her quitting. the writings on the wall

and times of gun this line from their allies. well done that there are few the cabinet, but i do not know who the times allies are quoting, biting the prime minister knows that if she does not quit, she will be forced out and she wants a dignified exit. i'd be very surprised if she does not announce in the coming days, or friday, a timetable to stand down, there are some reports that the 1922 actually focused on changing the party rules to allow an early leadership change, because she cannot be challenged into december because she survived a no—confidence vote around christmas. we do not know, but very dramatically, they sealed the votes in an envelope and they will open it oi'i in an envelope and they will open it on friday, depending on what the prime minister says. so it could be a very dramatic day. david

livingston, stepping up in the interim, how do you think you will be there for? because timing wise, whoever takes over as leader, do you wa nt to ta ke whoever takes over as leader, do you want to take that position asap for wait a little bit for post brexit? how do you play it? she may be pleased as prime minister even if she is not the tory leader, it is not automatic that he step said, a lot of brexiteer mps would not be very happy with that at all. some today or even folk tend voicing their disquiet over that they want a leadership contest and a new leader in place by the summer recess. so the mid to late july to get into place in leading up to this deadline. turning to the daily

mirror, bleary—eyed, that is a very powerful photo don't you think? because they have tied it directly to another front page that they ran backin to another front page that they ran back in 1990. it is annoying that the automatic comparison that margaret thatcher made, it is not surprising at all that theresa may is tearful and this and also exhausted but she said some resilience hanging on this far. it is an emotional time for her and i think any prime minister is concerned about the legacy when they know that the game is up and it is interesting that a lot of the talk right now is that she's just trying to hold on, to try to beat gordon brown's record, trying to get one marked off in the shortest prime minister stakes, that is what her premiership is trying to... to think it would come down to something like that. some people think about that in theirfinal days, it

that. some people think about that in their final days, it becomes a very personal thing and people think about how they're going to be recorded in the annals of history. about how they're going to be recorded in the annals of historylj don't recorded in the annals of history.” don't think they'll be that type of comparison. what did you think lisa ( page? it's a comparison to margaret thatcher since becoming tory leader whether or not that's fair isa tory leader whether or not that's fair is a matter that is definitely up fair is a matter that is definitely up for debate, i just fair is a matter that is definitely up for debate, ijust want to know in this picture was taken, she refused me cabinet ministers tonight and there's some suggestions that she cited her audience with the queen, so she cited her audience with the queen, so maybe she was way to see the queen when this image was taken. we re the queen when this image was taken. were coming back. it does make you wonder what they spoke about. obviously, the commentary, we cannot comment on things like that, but you have to know of the subject was even broached in a roundabout way. yes, particularly if she's made up her mind to realise is that as a matter

that she may be gone or might‘ve taken the opportunity to make her comments to the monarch. let's turn to the front page of the guardian and look at that language. barricaded in sight number ten. yeah, it's an extraordinary quote, a former tory leader that says she is in there with the self up against a door and this all comes about because cabinet ministers asked for meetings the prime minister to discuss the final offer on the withdrawal agreement that she made to try to win labour votes. they are not happy with her offer and they vote whether or not to a second referendum. they do not want to cede to be facilitating another referendum and she refused to meet them today. but as you think about that. refusing to meet cabinet ministers step tell her she knows

her history, it is an interesting tactic. to leave theresa may's government, but, the curious thing to me is that we have not seen other cabinet ministers quit and it is very much a calculated move among some of the cabinet ministers who wa nt to some of the cabinet ministers who want to be in the leadership contest, they do not want to be seen as precipitating or fall contest, they do not want to be seen as precipitating orfall so in a way iam as precipitating orfall so in a way i am surprised we have not seen more ministers quit, if the likes of jeremy hunting sajid javid i refusing these meetings, other people would be putting their letters and. who will move in a moment to the telegraph but first, we will hear from andrea.” moment to the telegraph but first, we will hear from andrea. i have been supporting brexit totally for the last three years and i could not with the legislation, stand up to

the questions and did not see bill that ijust think has elements i cannot support. but you have held out for so long. i have been determined to deliver brexit and i'm just worried that this bill, with this new element in it, will not do it. it has been a really tough day. should the pm go? that final question which he did not answer. the response that we just received your bbc news from andrea leadsom. i do not know if you saw a copy of her letter, what did you make of what was said and there? she brought a number of points up, uncomfortable compromises, sovereignty of the country, and the second referendum, a complete breakdown of collective responsibility. i think she has a

particular role as leader of comments to set up the timetable for the legislation because she does not support it and i think that is the key reason why she could not in all good conscience go forward to set the timetable for legislation. interesting that she took a swipe at remainders in the cabinet talking about the prime minister's tolerance of people who went beyond their collective responsibility of the cabinet. but it may be a moment that andrea leadsom was the one that came to the final two when she pulled out of the contest after giving some remarks during the campaign. of the contest after giving some remarks during the campaignm response to the resignation, the statement from the pm said that tonight, that the deal she negotiated does deliver brexit in the uk would leave the eu and does not recognise her andrea leadsom's criticisms. i think andrea leadsom

believe that she has taken so many compromises that the prime minister has made to get a deal of the light of the eu that this was just one compromise too far. the idea possibly facilitating the second referendum, she was one of the leading voices in the brexit campaign and why the last with william fox who stayed in the company andl william fox who stayed in the company and i think there will be a lot of sympathy, there was lot of sympathy for her and the remainders, trees may's allies as well, because she stated she didn't quit like david davis or boris johnson she stated she didn't quit like david davis or borisjohnson but this wasjust a david davis or borisjohnson but this was just a step too far in terms of compromises. let's turn to your publication and your headline was 01’ your publication and your headline was or is cabinet minister, theresa may survives tory coup d'etat. theresa may defies all expectations and does not set out a timetable and design, there is a threat of more resignations next week on monday, so

ministers are going to see them today and once we see the inevitably disastrous european election results, we are all going to quit on monday and i think there's been some cabinet involvement so it doesn't happen on friday, there will be more. it is quite a strong line. a mass resignation of ministers. more. it is quite a strong line. a mass resignation of ministersm is. she could be gone before then but the pressure from people who ordinarily were loyal like andrew personal >> percy, all piling pressure these are not all the usual suspects are criticising her. let us finish off at the final story that is been leading today, that is the fate of british steel. front page of the

financial times. a rare glimmer of good news amidst the concern that 5000 jobs directly connected to british steel could go and 20,000 in supply chain. the government is in talks for a plan that was cb the cornerstone investor alongside private companies as part of a consortium to try and bail out a company that is far from sovereignty today, they are currently investigating the legality of that move under eu, the verdict is still out whether or not that is possible to manoeuvre but let's hope that something can be done. yes, it is interesting that this we have to abide by eu rules which means we basically cannot get too much help the industries that would kind of jeopardise competition and theresa may actually teased jeremy corbyn about this same jeremy corbyn's brexit plan to stay in the single

market defect on standard customs union, seeing the uk still abide market defect on standard customs union, seeing the uk stillabide by these rules, it would stopjeremy corbyn and his plans to nationalise industries such as steel, which is what labour have been asking for this particular company. calls for nationalization. thank you very much. we'll be back at 1130. i suspect there won't be much. changes. . that's it for the papers this hour. arj and lucy will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers, and don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. the headlines are coming up at eleven. next it's the weather with darren bett. it was a dry day and there was not much rain at all for the next few

days, warm in the sunshine taking in staffordshire, the highest temperatures were in the southeast of england, 21 or 22 degrees, not as warm in northern scotland where we had much more cloud and maybe even some rain as well. though some shelter from the highlands where we see most of the rain here towards aberdeen, if few spots of rain and some central areas that are gone now, clear skies of an eye for england and wales, more cloud though and a bit of a breeze coming down across scotland at the rain in the far north again, so not as cold as yesterday and elsewhere, typical temperatures are going to be six or 7 degrees, heading into thursday then, travis and sunshine and warming up fairly quickly as well. we'll start to see more cloud coming down in fairly brisk wind down across scotland, ran the far north, not mine to a deal, cloud across island wells in southwest two today, temperatures may be a bit higher today 23 across london and 18 in newcastle.

should feel very pleasant. the central low is going to push her way toward scandinavia so it will not be quite as wet and noticed parts of scotland —— most parts of scotland. our direct number and be quite cloudy in northern ireland with a few showers as well, this could extend over the irish sea and wales. lots of places still dry and we have cloud, so temperatures dropping offjust a little bit. into the start of the weekend, bank holiday weekend, showers are going to be very fleeting on the whole a dry day on saturday, probably a fair bit of cloud to the day and maybe a few spots of rain from northern ireland in weston scotland later on in temperatures across the northern half of the uk around 15 or 16 degrees at best, so turning a bit cooler. spots of rain on that weather from there, low pressure building in from the atlantic as we had

the sunday and that whether from will be pushing its way eastwards as well. so as we head into the bank holiday weekend, or there may be some sunshine at times, some rain around on sunday, most of that in the northwest, it should be largely dry but also cooler as well.

this is bbc news. the headlines: in the past half hour andrea leadsom has resigned saying in a letter to theresa may "i no longer believe that our approach will deliver on the referendum result". is it time to go, prime minister? the resignation adds to the pressure theresa may faces from her party to step down. the feeling is very much there that we've come to the end of the road with this prime minister, we need to turn the pages quickly as possible. the time has come for a change of leader, we only have a few months left until the 315t of october and we need a new leader and a new team to deliver that. the prime minister is to meet with backbench representatives
