even beating simone biles in a senior international competition. but the constant mental strain around her body image, coupled with a serious back injury led to her walking away from the sport. i came home and i wasjust bawling. my mum said, "aren't you happy?" isaid, "i'm miserable". sol so i scheduled an mri they told me i may not be able to play gymnastics again. to never put on leo again, to never be judged critically by anyone, i felt like was a relief. but after a year of recuperation, ohashi did return to gymnastics, albeit not as a professional, but at college in california. and it's here she created that routine and found her voice. being comfortable with the only person that matters is yourself. because you are the only person that has your back and you are the only person that's in your skin, 100% of the time. this routine catapulted ohashi into the spotlight, but it's her body issues that

will resonate with girls and women everywhere. jo currie, bbc news, los angeles. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more for you throughout the evening. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are editor of politico's london playbook, jack blanchard, and the columnist for the evening standard and former labour adviser, ayesha hazarika. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in — with most of them leading

on the future of theresa may. the financial times says the prime minister will set out her departure date when she meets the chair of the 1922 committee of conservative backbenchers, sir graham brady tomorrow morning conservative mps have urged theresa may's husband philip to ‘just tell her‘ it's time to leave downing street., that's according to the metro. the telegraph reports the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt is the latest cabinet minister to withdraw his support for the prime minister's brexit deal. the i says the home secretary sajid javid has also lost confidence in theresa may's brexit vision. and the guardian says centrist cabinet ministers think the next conservative leader will promise a hard brexit. so most papers leading with theresa may. that's where we should start as well, why not start perhaps with the financial times and jack, made to
10:43 pm
set out departure gate as mutiny kills off that brexit plan, and actually, the financial times plays actually, the financial times plays a straight battle that paints a brittle picture. that's right, we waited a long time, we've always known that this premiership is coming to an and slowly but surely in the last few months and it looks like although it's not been confirmed that tomorrow is going to be the day she stands up on the podium and sets out when she's going to leave and i did think she well, that's the most likely playing although we have had these big days in brexit and british politics before and sometimes they turn out to bea before and sometimes they turn out to be a damp squib but i don't think that's going to happen to my think it's that i think she really has run out there's nowhere else for her to go the deal is not going to get there, she does not have the support of our party or support of the cabinet and of our party or support of the cabinetandi of our party or support of the cabinet and i think if she does not do it tomorrow, her party really will take matters in their own hands so will take matters in their own hands soi will take matters in their own hands so i think this is it, not that she was stepped out tomorrow that she will announce how she's going to do
10:44 pm
it and when. be agreed because she meets gran brady the head of the conservative 1922 backbench committee, and she's meeting tomorrow, are you asserting as jack? i agree with his bright analysis i think she's running out of roads, if interesting they briefed out about putting that withdrawal agreement bell for it but then he got pulled a couple hours later, my only slight hesitation as she is the queen or the mistress of trying to sort of get us all up to one place and everyone's like... i did sort of think she might we had been here before, we know that climbing with the 1922 committee, oil and hear what everyone is saying and i will at some point set out, maybe in the item or something like that, ijust feel like we've been a bit burnt by the lack of clarity. there is a part of me that also thinks she may want to try and just hang on a debt
10:45 pm
longer than everybody else because it's interesting that the party wants a caretaker leader in the meantime, i was working for harriet hardeman when she took over after gordon brown and ed miliband a step down, but sometimes as an argument that actually it's better for political parties to continue with their leader until the leadership contest is sort of done and dusted and brought together, but you know, i think she will give us a timetable but may not be as clear as he wanted to be. i agree with that, how many times that we watched her stand up and makea times that we watched her stand up and make a big speed and then be deflated and wonder why he got excited, but the visceral anger at her own mps of what she has done this week and trying to reach out to labour to get this deal done and some of the concessions she's made that they never thought they would hear from that they never thought they would hearfrom her, ithink that they never thought they would hearfrom her, i think i that they never thought they would hearfrom her, ithink i had that they never thought they would hearfrom her, i think i had to change the dynamic and decisively this time in westminster and you hearing it not only from backbench mp is the senior members of the cabinet, and i think that in the end
10:46 pm
means it's the end of. the question on the metro seems to be whether her husband is telling her that as well, is it just husband is telling her that as well, is itjust me, ijust tell her, i just look at the headline and i think if it was a male prime minister, we the headline about his wife telling him to go. no absolutely not and i think there's something old—fashioned about the headline. here we had a female prime minister, and half up to the conservative party who delivered to female prime minister is at my party haveit female prime minister is at my party have it and said this is arguably the most important person in the country right now the idea that it's like that your husband to put you in your place, i'm sorry, that does feel very old—fashioned and cringe it to be honest. it also shows a lack of understanding of the trees and they who is one of the most single—minded people in politics of any era, the idea someone can tell her what to do is just not credible.
10:47 pm
i guess what's behind this is the idea that he must be her trusted on the user has been, the most trusted adviser and i use that... element of grace that's a confidant and their close but to say just tell grace that's a confidant and their close but to sayjust tell her to put your wife back in line is like. is like mad men 1950s it's not a good luck. interesting in the daily telegraph, there is now in the context, this is the foreign secretaryjeremy knight context, this is the foreign secretary jeremy knight who context, this is the foreign secretaryjeremy knight who is told mrs ney according to telegraph that she must give up on her brexit bell, as he mentioned, the vote is cancelled so how important is his intervention in all of this? while a succession of cabinet ministers this week has been privately led trying to support from decibel or expressing concerns about it, but less interesting here injeremy hunt is doing it in a much more public way and is clearly hidden and his tea m way and is clearly hidden and his team who have given a strong message to telegraph that this is it for
10:48 pm
him, what's going on here is what people thinking about what happens after she is gone and what are the chances of the next conservative party leader because being associated with the spell and brexit deal is toxic for any of these politicians who want to get support from the tory grassroots and that's why you cite andrea leadsom resign because when having the leadership contest, she can say i hated it and walked out and i are getting a strong message from jeremy hunt getting it out that he does not support it either, i think you're hearing similar noises from sajid javid, secretary, they are all starting to get this message out that they don't support what she's trying to do because they do not wa nt to trying to do because they do not want to be with that brush. so that when why are they not resigning?” think it's like cowardly of them actually because they'll like who is she we don't know she is, it's like they sort of been part of this, but asjack says, they sort of been part of this, but as jack says, everyone they sort of been part of this, but asjack says, everyone isjockeying for pig death position i we have like 21 writers and writers in this
10:49 pm
movement, except contest for sure, and one of the —— the grass of the membership are unequivocal, they wa nt membership are unequivocal, they want nothing to do with this deal, they want nothing to do with the compromise brexit, a way very, very high brexit, so even though sajid javid and jeremy hunt were originally remainders, there —— they're having to pitted body language into looking like they are brexiteers now, and i think that's going to be problematic for them to be and because actually, it terms of the select of the tory leadership, they are no fullest, and they know who is a pure brexiteers who backed the campaign and who didn't. i think some of the jeremy hunt would be better off trying to plough a far as saying i'm more of a centrist conservative because i think you've already lost a battle in terms that he would never out the brexiteers like some of make borisjohnson, but what he can say is that i'm going to bang the drum for one nation conservative or moderate centrist conservatism but that's what they're doing. in the meantime to answer the
10:50 pm
question why he is not resigning, because none of them want to be the ones to wield the knife and finish off the prime minister because they fear that would not be a good luck either, amongst a party membership that obesity is disloyal and i want her to go and leadership contest to happen, but they cannot —— they kind of wa nt happen, but they cannot —— they kind of want someone else to do it. so why did the resignation of andrea leadsom set in trained the fact that she's going to announce that she'll go tomorrow. it's one more blow in a very long line of and i will say no more than that. the only thing i thought was interesting was how it echoes of thatcher, the final throes of thatcher, and what's interesting isa of thatcher, and what's interesting is a few days ago people like jeremy hunt, kind of cabinet ministers who we re hunt, kind of cabinet ministers who were trying to have meetings with her, and her office and val blocked them and they reminded me of when all this cabinet ministers went to go see margaret thatcher and told her to resign, so perhaps theresa may is really set up battling down the hatches and saying look i will
10:51 pm
not have other people tell me to go i would do it in my own time and way, but she isjack said, i really running out of time. i think that's fair, infairness running out of time. i think that's fair, in fairness to her there is a sense that the prime minister announcing her resignation on the eve of elections which we had today would not have been a good look for the party, and she's very conscious of how it looks for the party, so i'm not surprised she wants to wait until the polls close tonight for doing anything. lets go to the guardian, tory leadership race heats up guardian, tory leadership race heats up as ney prepares to name exit date. so that leads me to ask you, who is likely to be the next leader. my money is on borisjohnson. i think he's a ahead of everyone else in terms of where he is at the grassroots activist. now at the mps although i did get the signs and peas are positioned to him —— opposition to my softening heart partly because of overwhelming
10:52 pm
support from grassroots, i think a lot of the acting as had been saying for a long time like you jeremy corbyn, even the labour party and a true red socialist, we a true blue conservative feeding our party and we want boris johnson, conservative feeding our party and we want borisjohnson, and i had noticed, if you look over the last couple of days lots of big names have come out saying they support boris, and the fact that you've got him and gavin williamson and known kind of good operator so i feel the resistance is going down, i think the conservative party will want to feel they've given that party a decent contest feel they've given that party a dn a ant contest feel they've given that party a dn a battle itest feel they've given that party a dn a battle fort feel they've given that party a dn a battle for the island —— is a battle for the island —— ideological soul of the conservative party, but i think it borisjohnson gets down to the final two, i think he will win that competition. do you think is interesting that in the guardian they think that, they say he's a favourite with that progress a conservative membership which is exactly what you say, and also the feeling that if he did, he would
10:53 pm
lead to a hard brexit. and no deal possibly. what you may see as an arms rate —— arms race because in the end, that's what's going to appeal to the party members who ultimately make the choice between final two candidates. and so, if one of them is seen to be the harder brexit cat did it, and a better chance of laying so i think really the candidates, the main candidates are going to end up in a very similar place on this, which is that going to say they will go and renegotiate the deal and get a better one, good luck with that, and if they can't we are living without a deal at the end of october and i think really, they will all have to say that you have any chance of winning so i'm not sure it as much difference between the brexit positions as it may seem at this moment because if you don't say that i don't think you have a chance. turning to the back page of the guardian, we don't always disport but i thought this is an interesting story it's a quote from the manager
10:54 pm
arsenault, i had at the europe a couple he the against chelsea. he heads out at the no go, and the travel hatches, the last bit refers to how difficult it is to get there, but the first bit of that headline is about this player, he's armenian and he is not welcome in azerbaijan, tell us about that. is a diplomatic clash between those countries and a long—standing one, and it is such that arsenault and his team did not feel they can be assured of his own personal safety. said he had taken a decision they have to be behind it one of their star players for this big european final. it's all because your way thought, i think this decision for who knows what reason to hold this big important one of the biggest bubble matches in europe in azerbaijan where none of the fans can get to and where one of the team star player is not welcome they feel
10:55 pm
they can't take them. arsenal and chelsea two of the biggest clubs in the country and europe playing thousands of miles away and can't even sell tickets and chelsea had solid 2000 tickets for ageing good enormous final against arsenal because there are not enough plans to get in the country for fans to get in and i'm afraid it's indicative of the way the ball is run that this, no one can get a plausible reason as to why the game is playing there they should be playing in london. it saves air miles and did for the environment so maybe they could make a climate change statement. i want to turn finally back to the front page of the guardian. i have to ask. judith carr, author of the tiger who came to tea, check is admitted he had never heard ever. shame on me, i'll go home and read it tonight. you

know, obviously a very sad day that she has died at the age of 95 but she has died at the age of 95 but she leaves behind a wonderful legacy and wonderful book. absolutely and today on social media it was an outpouring of the celebration at an incredibly well read an incredible life, her story reads like a film script. she fled the nazis with her parents and she had a real gift for storytelling and illustration and even when she was young, she started drawing pictures all captain are, what it what it was like fleeing from the nazi regime and her books have given so muchjoy to millions of people and she was such an incredibly warm and wise and very, very funny and someone wrote of her today, she was very modest and very mary andl today, she was very modest and very mary and i think that's a wonderful way to be described. on that note, a lovely note on which to end. that's it for the papers this hour. jack and ayesha will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers. headlines coming up at eleven. next it's the weather
