of hit him and iflung my head back and i hit the back of my head on a concrete wall. it was hard, but equally, it wasn't a car crash. i didn't fall from a great height, there was no seemingly huge trauma at the time but i knew something wasn't right. when i came back from kenya, i was in bed for a month. literally in a dark room, couldn't tolerate anything. i wanted to rejoin the team and the team had an away day. all i remember really was talking to my team—mate next to me and i lost the ability to speak, i couldn't say any words. i don't remember much. i went to hospital, i was very unwell. nine months on, i've had a mild traumatic rain injury that i'm nine months on, i've had a mild traumatic brain injury that i'm still not fully recovered from. when you have a head injury, you're perhaps not making the best decisions anyway. you don't know that at the time. as a competitor, i am...it‘s not in my dna to tell you i'm not ok. and that's my responsibility,

but that's where the guidelines of sports have around there is a concussion, there is a protocol, there is a time. these are so important. as i said, i underreported and i learned the hard way. if this helps people who probably have it to be honest about how you're feeling and what you are going through and explaining that, then it's only in your interest. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more sport throughout the weekend. hello and welcome to our look ahead
10:42 pm
to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the home affairs editor at the evening standard, martin bentham and head of politics at the daily mirror, jason beattie. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the times leads with an image of theresa may overcome with emotion in which she announced that she will be stepping down as conservative leader after three years in office. the crying shame — the daily mail also leads with what is sure to become the iconic image of theresa may delivering her resignation speech. the guardian reports on theresa may giving an emotional farewell to the job, which she has described as ‘the honour of her life to hold'. the telegraph suggests that the home secretary amber rudd has hinted she would work with borisjohnson as she rules
10:43 pm
herself out of the conservative leadership race. the daily mirror reports that a civil war has broken out within the conservative party as mps begin to make their leadership bids. similarly, the ft says that her resignation announcement has increased the prospect of a no—deal brexit. on the front page of the ‘i‘ — borisjohnson vows that the uk will leave the eu without a deal in october unless brussels compromises. the paper also reports that foreign secretaryjeremy hunt is woo—ing brexiteer hardliners to support his leadership bid. and tear—io theresa and hello bojo, the sun also reports that boris johnson is the frontrunner of 15 canadiates in what promises to be a ‘bruising' conservative leadership battle. so all of the papers leading with one story.
10:44 pm
let's start off with the mail, that images are most of the papers, that is the lead story but there are so many questions popping up now really and we're going to see if the next few weeks, two weeks, as to how all of this is going to play out, but the daily mail, who wants to kick off for us? it is the image of her speech that moment right at the end when her voice broke and just about to go into tears and managed to hold it together before going inside. 99.9% to watch that must have felt sorry for her because whatever her failings have been, she has tried very hard, the point that she made about trying to serve her country, the country that she loves, i think very few people, even if they don't agree with the politically for whatever reason could find it hard to disagree that she tried the best of her... ijust think
10:45 pm
to disagree that she tried the best of her... i just think that was a very human emotion, wasn't it and i think it captured the very well stop by and see you did not feel when you saw that? but she sat at the fact that she felt her was kicked out, or it when she deported the wind rush generation or when people, millions of people use food banks i did not see the tears when universal credited was delayed because of reforms. fundamentally, ido credited was delayed because of reforms. fundamentally, i do feel sorry because her accepting the leadership from the premiership was an act of incredible hubris and she engineered to get into position, during the referendum, she sunk down and refused to campaign to remain in motions and in one single television interview. primarily because she thought that if we did lose the
10:46 pm
referendum, david cameron would've gotten the referendum and she would have been in poor position to succeed him. she angled for thisjob in which she was totally unsuited for and just did not have the skill set or the compassion or the charm and she did not have the stagecraft and she did not have the stagecraft and that is why she has been undone. what others have delivered brexit? and that is why she has been undone. what others have delivered brexit7|j do not think she had the qualities to deliver brexit. i don't think it'll be fair to her that some people, some people do pick and choose when they cry, and she is not a performer like that, i think this was a genuine thing. and maybe she did not cry and other occasions but so did not cry and other occasions but so what, really. i think she did try ha rd so what, really. i think she did try hard for all of her weaknesses, and she said it became this by default really it's. she did... what i mean
10:47 pm
was, she some of the things that undid her in the general election when it is not a set piece situation, they were tested in the leadership campaign. keep discussing that because it is one story, but let's return to the daily mirror for the front pages we are looking at, here, we start to see boris being introduced. familiarisation that plays into his status, boris johnson, he is not like the entertainer that he wants to be. yes, he is the favourite but how these things play out as altogether very uncertain and it looks like there's going to be even more
quote
10:48 pm
uncertainty. we've had a lot of predictions and politics in recent yea rs, predictions and politics in recent years, which have turned out to be wildly wrong. a successive tory leadership elections. deeding the second time will be lucky for him? isa second time will be lucky for him? is a toxic individual and we have heard him speak on numerous occasions and he is very entertaining to hear to speak. to hear her speak. on the other hand, hear her speak. on the other hand, he can be very loose tongue the times and in an inappropriate way you only need to think about his comments about an error on and dropping her in it and the fact that a loose comment that was inaccurate and some provocative comments about the eu and so on a times and unnecessarily so, some of his language is foolish in that respect and in the party, he is quite a toxic individual and they did not like him in the beginning. his stock
10:49 pm
has risen and because of the threat posed by nigel faraj, so the conservatives are looking at the rise of the brexit party that are rattled and they see boris johnson who led the leaf campaign who has a great ability to reach out to conservatives supporters and make them feel good about themselves and they see him as the antidote to farage, that has raised his stock against some other mps we re his stock against some other mps were unwilling to vote for it, but as martin said, since he is now soup to asserted ted with the brexit side of things, it damages himself to the brexit side of things, and those reaching towards the voters that others could
10:50 pm
reach, so you know he proved it when he won the mount, he had won them twice in a row, ithink he won the mount, he had won them twice in a row, i think he he won the mount, he had won them twice in a row, ithink he is he won the mount, he had won them twice in a row, i think he is now less than it used to be, scottish conservatives are really quite odd about him becoming... are a looking ahead to boris is the headline, makes brexit bow and push for number ten. i put to use year, you have already alluded to, is see what the party needs? we think back to margaret thatcher, they got rid of her because she was threatening their position where they are, not to for the party so she is out. is boris what the party needs right now and if it is, is she going to be short—term once they deliver brexit, that's it. if he delivers brexit. if he does it will be a massive
10:51 pm
achievement especially for the conservative party and then after that it depends what type of brexit with the impact in what state the party is in after the next general election, assuming that is when it is scheduled in 2022, obviously, it could come sooner or make him sooner but isjeremy corbyn says, but a lot hangs on what happens in brexit, whether he delivers it the i can probably help to unify his party, probably, broadly speaking put it over the hurdle. then, it is a question of how they pull themselves together in the time they have left after that. the problem with boris is that you have this performing boris, do you have i got news for you, kind of guy who cheers the conservatives up. but then you've got the boris that has a record in
10:52 pm
office that is kind of, i was going to say it less complementary, i would say pretty disastrous, when he was led to an mayor, he is responsible for ordering the water cannon responsible for ordering the water cannon that they made illegal, forgot which fiasco that cost taxpayers $60 million, but the list goes on and as mr martin referred to, he instead of being a diplomat, was insulting most of our allies and other countries and there is a problem with them being a very loose relationship with the truth, and so that lack of ability to do the detail, the hard kind of government which is the responsibility that becomes of a prime minister. that would make people very worried and asi would make people very worried and as i say, he is a very good short—term way of lifting morale but in the long term... carry-on. this story
10:53 pm
has some of the potential cast of runners, jeremy hunt, matt hancock, sir graeme brady who has resigned to consider whether he might run, he needs to take a deep breath and everything tomorrow that is going to run because it seems inconceivable. it seems inconceivable that we've got this evening, i am not declaring. too much of a remainder. but she said she will be back in boris as has philip hammond. the man who she said she would not trust to drive her at home at night. a majority intercede, but also boris is actually a social liberal anyway, his immigration policy is much more relaxed about that than other of the brexit supporting tory mps in
10:54 pm
general. he is quite relaxed on one level and on another he can appeal to the one nation tories. in the sheer numberof to the one nation tories. in the sheer number of candidates running could pose a problem. 16? the ones who are running but the way the contest works, because goes to a vote of the conservative mps and they goes to the others that goes down to two and the others and if it goes to the party activist, and boris is one of those two, he is a clear winner. but because there's so many candidates, he could split the vote quite badly, particularly amongst the brexiteers and could allow someone unexpected to come through. so that may work. so essentially the person that can do thejob has to essentially the person that can do the job has to see through a divorce and then reconcile the country. so you're doing one thing and then another. such is very quickly, who
10:55 pm
are you favouring? i thinkjason is right, someone like penny water could be a face who isn't too bad because she is a brexiteer, she is not tarnished by negative associations with some other people that the government have in the of the likes of jeremy that the government have in the of the likes ofjeremy hunt who can appeal to the, across both sides and again, some long record in government now but some of that brings back things that people do not like. and also incredibly self—indulgent, if you spend the la st self—indulgent, if you spend the last three or four days, if you're a steelworker who was worried about your livelihood and you're watching this party yet again tell ted tear itself apart of a europe and taking pa rt of itself apart of a europe and taking part of this beauty pageant, i this think this wonderful stuff in westminster, all these tories, it is great entertainment but actually it is also, yet again, the tories... of
10:56 pm
labour have also said that they would not negotiate with theresa may because they have no faith in her being there, so both parties, if you're worried about instability at the type of government at this precise moment, both parties have got something to account for. but labour is not in power. young make the new leader calls a general election. my neck were going to end on the going to end on that, come back at 1130. there are so many questions. that's it for the papers this hour. martin and jason will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers. headlines coming up at eleven. next it's the weather with darren bett.
10:57 pm
hello there, good evening. i'm sure most people are looking forward to the bank holiday weekend. unfortunately, it looks like the weather is on the turn so to speak. we're going to find some sunshine around but there will be some rain too and again it looks like it will be more in the north and west of the uk but temperatures are going to be dropping away everywhere over the next few days. this is the clouds that's going to be heading our way. it is actually two weather fronts that will bring some rain over the next couple of days. we've had a few showers around today mind you, a lot of cloud coming in from off the atlantic. here in st helens for example, cloudier skies. but it has been sunnier further east and we have had plenty of sunshine around the south east of scotland and it has been a lovely day here with more cloud still across northern scotland, although most of the rain is fading away. and the showers in southern parts of england and wales will also fade away overnight. lot of dry weather around, fair bit of cloud around too and temperatures fairly mild. the lowest temperature is 6 or 7 degrees across the northern half of the uk. here we will find a lot more cloud
10:58 pm
and some rain and drizzle arriving. first of all, it is there across northern ireland and then the cloud thickens and the rain develops in scotland through the day. eventually, a little bit of that heading towards the north west of england. cloud will tend to increase for much of england and wales but we will keep the sunshine toward the south east barring one or two showers. this is what the temperatures will be at their highest, but quite chilly underneath that developing rain in scotland in particular. that is on the first band of cloud, that weather front there. we've got low pressure heading towards the north west of the uk that is going to push in this secondary weather for the cold front of course, the cooler air coming in behind it. rain can be quite heavy for a while particularly in scotland. it's going to hang around in northern scotland very quickly clearing away from northern ireland and brightening up here, a few showers coming into southern scotland and this showery rain heading down into england and wales where it could be a little on the heavy side and may be arriving as early as late morning. before then, temperatures may get up to 21 degrees but there is cooler, fresher air coming in behind that. and we have a north—westerly breeze for the end of the bank holiday weekend.
10:59 pm
whilst that weather front is out of the way, we've still got low pressure across northern areas. we've got showers and longer spells of rain for scotland and northern ireland. a fair number of showers just pushing down into northern england and into wales. and much of southern england towards east anglia may well be dry with a little bit of sunshine but it's nowhere near as warm. 18 degrees at best in london. 13 through the central belt of scotland.
11:00 pm
this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 11pm: theresa may has decided to call it a day after failing to deliver brexit. idoso i do so with no ill will, but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. two two two as she left to spend the weekend in her two two two constituency, some colleagues expressed sympathy with her plight. the prime minister has put her heart in seoul trying to do the best for this country at a challenging time —— heartand this country at a challenging time —— heart and soul. her departure from no 10 changes nothing says labour, saying it's the country that should decide who's prime minister.
