hello. this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment, first the headlines. theresa may has decided to call it a day, after failing to deliver brexit. i do so with no ill will, but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. as she left to spend the weekend in her constituency, some colleagues expressed sympathy with her plight. the prime minister has put her heart and soul into trying to do the best for this country at a difficult time, facing a challenging time in parliament. her departure from no 10 changes nothing says labour, saying it's the country that should decide who's prime minister. i think we need a general election.

we don't need another tory leader installed by tory mps. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are 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. welcome back for our final edition of the papers. the times leads with an image of theresa may overcome with emotion at the end of her statement outside downing street, in which she announced that she will be stepping down as conservative leader after three years in office. ‘a 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 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 hasjoined the race. and ‘tear—io theresa and hello bojo‘, the sun also reports that

borisjohnson is the front—runner of 15 canadiates in what promises to be a bruising conservative leadership battle. so all of the papers leading with one story. why is it a crying shame on the front of the daily mail, jason?” don't think it is at all! obviously the daily mail does, having supported her in her efforts to try to get exit through. i'm not entirely sure what that is our about, whether it's the fact she's become the latest conservative party to be broken by europe —— leader. —— what the tears are about. or whether it's that she's been a failure. i don't have a great deal of sympathy because i never don't have a great deal of sympathy because i never saw don't have a great deal of sympathy because i never saw the tears for the 4 million children now living in poverty that's happened under the conservatives while she's been in power, nor the tears for people on

universal credit going to food banks, nor the victims of the windrush scandal, which she was responsible for when she introduced a hostile environment. but the primary reason is because she didn't have to go for the top job. tree angled for it, she positioned herself, so she was in position to succeed david cameron he lost the referendum —— when he lost the referendum —— when he lost the referendum and she took the job for which she was unsuited and now we're seeing the of that. her central and only purpose was to deliver brexit —— seeing the consequence of that. that one big task she was handed, she has cataclysm failed to do. on top of that, as nothing by way of a legacy in terms of domestic agenda as well —— cataclysmic league. their issues with climate change, social ca re issues with climate change, social care issues, the challenges faced by

ai, she hasn't dealt with. a rather sad legacy because three years in power and there's almost nothing to show for it. i think you're being a bit uncharitable to her. i think i'm being fair! it's a fact, of course i can understand why she felt emotional because she has tried her best, she has many failings as a prime minister, we can all agree on that, but she has tried hard and we need people like that, she angled for the job, but anyone who becomes a politician, a public servant, we wa nt a politician, a public servant, we want people to try to do these difficultjobs. it's a difficult job, she didn't have much fun doing it, and it's ajob job, she didn't have much fun doing it, and it's a job that was a difficultjob to do, it, and it's a job that was a difficult job to do, someone it, and it's a job that was a difficultjob to do, someone needed to do it and she has tried her best andl to do it and she has tried her best and i think that outpouring of emotion or the flicker of emotion at

the end of it is an entirely human reaction in a difficult situation. a lot of people will feel sorry for her in that situation. i thought 99.99999% decided that... she played a bad hand badly. ithink the problem here was truly... it was partly the conservatives' fault because they could have... they rallied behind her, they thought she was a character different in style to david cameron and they thought they had seen a flash version in david cameron and here was a stead workmanlike tory. and they missed... if you look at early enough, the carrots were default that were needed to deliver an important task like brexit —— stead fast. it

required an ability to reach out and communicate to the public. it required her to bring her colleagues with her. instead we've got a very controlling and quite furtive, quite bashful personality, which, you know, she couldn't negotiate with the eu, she couldn't ldap the personal relationships necessary to make that diplomatic breakthrough and she couldn't communicate to the public what she was about —— develop. the party is such a basket case with europe, but it needed those skills and she didn't have them. she has other admirable qualities but not what you need to be prime minister. some of that is true, but with your reference to david cameron, i would rather someone left downing street feeling emotional because they try their best rather thanjust emotional because they try their best rather than just walking emotional because they try their best rather thanjust walking out. two inadequate characters! let's turn to the mirror, carrying on with the same thing. martin, talking of her legacy and part of her speech

she made, her reference to grenfell. i don't know if you picked up the reaction and the response from the fire brigades‘ union and their angen fire brigades‘ union and their anger, did you see that? in all the barrage of stuff i didn't see that particular reference. of course, 6 re nfell particular reference. of course, grenfell is a great, horrible disaster and her reaction at the time... well, she got a lot of criticism for it, i don't think... she didn't display great emotion when she went there and she was surrounded by security, i don't think that's because she didn't feel terrible about what happened, i'm sure she did and had great sympathy for the people involved. clearly the exact reason behind why that happened, we're yet to get to the bottom and ultimately i don't think the cause will be found to be her fault directly, it will be other people. the problem was, she was

in... in her resignation speech she was trying to craft a legacy that wasn‘t there and it was noticeable she set up an enquiry into grenfell, but if there was a prime minister that didn‘t you would have serious doubts about. then she quoted sir nick swinton, the one that helped the kindertransport, nick swinton, the one that helped the kindertra nsport, talking nick swinton, the one that helped the kindertransport, talking about the kindertransport, talking about the need for compromise and her daughter —— his daughter came out and said you created a hostile environment with a refugees, it confirmed the reason why she failed in power. —— with refugees. confirmed the reason why she failed in power. -- with refugees. bringing in the favourite to replace her, let‘s turn to the sun. obviously that post—mortem examination over her premiership will continue, but let‘s look forward. hello, too, says the sun. what is the eu going to say if he gets the leadership and hence

the prime minister, how do you think the prime minister, how do you think the eu will look at the prospect of negotiating with him ? the eu will look at the prospect of negotiating with him? he has upset some people in the eu in the past with... some people in the eu in the past with. .. actually some people in the eu in the past with... actually his career as a journalist many years ago. is a brussels correspondent for the telegraph. he is unpopularforthat legacy —— as a brussels. more releva ntly re ce ntly legacy —— as a brussels. more releva ntly recently some legacy —— as a brussels. more relevantly recently some of his more provocative statements, probably unnecessarily so, when he talked about going to whistle for the money and so on. i don't think they will be relishing it, but on the other hand, clearly whoever it is that's going to be the leader, if they want to avoid no deal themselves, then they will have to negotiate with whoever it is and they will have to try to reach some compromised because the fact of the matter is, unless somehow the parliamentary arithmetic changes, which clearly it

doesn't look like it's going to, the existing deal has been voted down successive times so the only logical outcome is that either there is a new deal, some renegotiation, despite what the eu says, some change in their stance, however cosmetic or minor, but there needs to be something, or they will be no deal or the whole thing gets abandoned, i suppose, deal or the whole thing gets abandoned, isuppose, is deal or the whole thing gets abandoned, i suppose, is the other scenario —— there will be. we can't just have the existing deal being voted through unless by some miraculous change people who hitherto have not been supportive of it suddenly decide their going to because there's a new prime minister or new situation, and that seems unlikely —— they are. or new situation, and that seems unlikely -- they are. let's have a look at the telegraph, boris in push for number 10. whoever gets this position, you think they will get a brexit extinction? life i was going to say amazingly, the telegraph who pays boris johnson £250,000

to say amazingly, the telegraph who pays borisjohnson £250,000 a year for his weekly column, they are backing him to be the next leader, may be they are trying to cut costs! will there be an extension? the timetable suggests there has to be. the leadership contest for the tories kicks off on the seventh of june. the vote has to go to the mps and then the tory activists, and they are saying today they expect it at the end ofjuly, before summer recess, which is around july the 24th. then we have recess and the commons doesn‘t come back until september and then you have to get the withdrawal agreement through again but boris, jeremy hunt, whoever is prime minister, andrea leadsom, sir graham brady... whoever is prime minister, andrea leadsom, sir graham brady. . m could be you and me at this rate, there's so many standing! obviously they will have to try to do some renegotiation and that has to go through parliament monday when get that done by october the 31st, the deadline, so i expect it‘s either no deal, which is quite frightening, or they asked for an extension. whether

they asked for an extension. whether the eu says yes or not, we will see. that was my french exhausted! please, do not do any more. in the times, it all ends in tears. looking at thejob times, it all ends in tears. looking at the job that needs to be done. the irish border, that again is going to be the headache. the backstop issue remains clearly... the attempts to solve it, the backstop is it exists now, clearly is not acceptable to a sufficient numberof is not acceptable to a sufficient number of people. there needs to be a fresh attempt to look at it. the great contradiction here is that, of course, on great contradiction here is that, of course, on the one hand, the eu says

we have to have this resolved. at the same time spokeswoman said there will be a hard border if there is no deal. michel barnier turned around the next day and said we will find a way. on the one hand, you have got the insistence on all sides they will not be one and yet this fateful problem of the irish backstop which is of the thing that stopped theresa may's deal going through. this is the worry, it is almost certain that the worry, it is almost certain that the next leader will be a brexiteer. even remain as a starting to say this. you wonder whether they have the understanding of the history of ireland and recent troubles to take

the broader issue seriously enough. we‘re about incredibly fragile and only recently cemented piece and you can see boris johnson, only recently cemented piece and you can see borisjohnson, with his slightly breezy attitude, and you wonder if that is the genuine boris johnson, is that a serious boris johnson, is that a serious boris johnson or is itjust another comedian and that is what i fear. we‘re going to and on the guardian. iam going we‘re going to and on the guardian. i am going to put it to you that it is not just i am going to put it to you that it is notjust theresa may that broken but the relationship with the eu is... we are up in the air. how on earth is all going to be fixed and is at only going to be for the period delivering brexit? what happens after brexit? an end to brexit will remove part of the

problem, won't it. some of the division is over brexit itself. so you remove one. . . division is over brexit itself. so you remove one... but it has not changed from what we saw today. it will be the same issue at the heart of it. it is but if you talk about the broader re— unifying of the country, clearly that is one of the big issues dividing the country. obviously you make a start. there is economic policy, social reform, all of those issues, of course, they need to be addressed and change needs to happen there and some of the concerns of the type you are talking about need to be dealt and thatis talking about need to be dealt and that is a difficult task in itself but the first thing has to be to clear the bandwidth, so to speak. the referendum result was for leave, and the practical process of getting

our exit from europe. and then you start to think about policies. some people boris is appealing on the social liberal side of the party. he is quite a socially liberal person which is the way forward for the party and therefore he could be an attractive person. your thoughts? on brexit or boris johnson? is everything broken! laughter. there was an opportunity, a slight one, she was elected prime minister, theresa may, she could have reached out, try to bring the country together and form some sort of consensus around brexit which may have been acceptable but since then,

the use of her language, the way she created two sides has widened divisions and we will look back on this along with the domestic neglect is the fact that handed this precious vase to deliver brexit she actually dropped it and smashed it and it is impossible to put back together. we will start to see sunday, monday... we can come back. it isa sunday, monday... we can come back. it is a big day on the news agenda because we have the results of the european elections. hopefully it will be watching and we will have you back in. for now, thank you so much. 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 at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. for now, good night.

good evening, i‘m lizzie greenwood—hughes with your latest sports news. it‘s less than a week before the start of the cricket world cup but the captain of tournament hosts and favourites england has sustained a broken finger today. eoin morgan fractured his left index finger during catching drills. he‘ll miss england‘s warm—up game against australia on saturday but is expected to be fit in time for their opening world cup match against south africa at the oval next thursday. morgan has been described as england‘s best ever one day captain and all—rounder liam dawson says he has a very important impact on the team. when i have been around before, he has been very relaxed and good fun and i think most of the lads have gone out with each other over the years as well. it‘s a relaxed dressing room, everyone enjoys each other‘s success and i think the performances have shown that over the last two years and hopefully we continue that over

the next six weeks as well. it‘s the championship play—off final on monday but derby‘s manager frank lampard has been busy fielding questions about speculation he‘ll replace maurizio sarri as chelsea boss. the former chelsea and england midfielder who‘s guided derby to within a game of premiership promotion in his first season, says he‘ll only discuss his future after monday‘s game against aston villa at wembley. it has been a bit of an obvious link all season. if i say maybe because of where we are at in the final and we have been talked about and we have had a good year and i get linked because of my 13 years at the clu b linked because of my 13 years at the club and! linked because of my 13 years at the club and i understand the link but in terms of it, i do not want to think about it, talk about it, i wa nt to think about it, talk about it, i want to work with the team and get this over the line for us. not many have crossed this divide but abbie mcmanus has left manchester city to join newly promoted manchester united. the england defender spent 12 years at city

and was the club‘s longest—serving player. but she‘s always been a united fan and described joining them as a childhood dream. british number three katie boulter travelled to paris for the french open tennis only to withdraw before the tournament starts. boulter had been ruled out for the whole clay season with a back injury and many were surprised to see her name in the draw. she said she was hoping to play but doctor‘s advised against it. she‘ll receive just over 20,000 pounds — which is half the first round prize money. she did stay on in france to watch her friend katie swan in the final round of qualifying but swan failed to make the main draw, losing in straight sets to kristina kucova. and the maverick australian nick kyrgios has withrawn from the french open, saying he‘s been "wiped out" by a bug he picked up earlier this week. he was due to play britain‘s cameron norrie in the first round. he‘ll now face a french qualifier.

gb and england hockey captain alex danson has been describing how she was left unable to speak by what she calls a mild traumatic brain injury, suffered nine months ago, from which she‘s still not fully recovered. after last summer‘s world cup in london, danson hit the back of her head on a concrete wall when she laughed at a joke made by her now fiance alex, while they were on holiday in kenya and she thinks she should‘ve sought help sooner. i‘m an athlete. we spend our lives pretending we‘re fine because you wa nt to pretending we‘re fine because you want to compete and play. we did lots of things wrong. i remember getting back to the apartment and waking up every hour. i knew something was not right. the next day we went running but i put it to one side. the time i got home i knew i was concussed. it was a nightmare the past eight months. i did not realise how serious head injuries. i

do wonder that is partly why i am in the position i‘m in. that‘s all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. a few showers at and the day. a few showers at and the daym will be a dry night up and down the country. patches of cloud here and there. the odd mist and fog patch. cloud thickening across northern ireland. a series of weather systems arriving over the weekend. drive for most. lows of six — 12 degrees. for the weekend, it is turning more u nsettled. the weekend, it is turning more unsettled. not a washout, with some sunshine around. most of the rain to the north and west of the country. cooler sunday night into monday. we wa ke cooler sunday night into monday. we wake up to quite a bit of sunshine but this sunshine will be fading

away through northern and western areas. wet and breezy weather to scotland. across the south—east, 20— 23 degrees with the chance of a few showers through the south—east of england. with maiming breezy and wet. —— remaining. clearspells. temperatures no lower than 7— 11 degrees. for sunday, an area of low pressure which will be the big change to the weather. it will allow this cold front to spread, bringing showery posts of rain and introducing the cold air. the rain hanging around northern scotland. spreading from west to east. eventually the showery rain reaching the south—east. not so much as further west. skies brightening up.

temperatures ranging 11 to maybe 21 degrees in the south—east but that is the last of the fairly warm days. cooler air introduced. this next feature is likely to bring some showers or even longer spells of rain. for northern ireland and much of england and wales, it will be a showery day. most of the showers across the west, some quite heavy and are generally dry across the country. 10— 18 degrees is going to be noticeably cool. turning waiter for the bank holiday weekend. gardens and growers appreciate this but for those with outdoor plants this will not be such a good idea. good night.

this is bbc news. i‘m ben bland. our top stories: the race is on to find a new british prime minister. fights over europe claim another british prime minister, theresa may announces her intention to resign. i do so with no ill will, but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. the favourite to succeed her is former foreign secretary, borisjohnson, who says he‘s prepared to leave the eu without a deal if neccessary. in other news, a bomb in the french city of lyon injures eight people. and an estimated one million school children in over 100 countries skip classes to demand action to stop climate change.
