disease by the spittle bug. before the papers, sport. and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's holly hamilton. good morning. neil lennon's secured the permanent manager's job at celtic in impressive fashion. his side completed the domestic treble treble after beating hearts in the scottish cup final — their ninth domestic trophy in a row. chris mclaughlin was at hampden park. the 134th scottish cup final. for celtic, though, three was the magic number. their prize — a treble for the third year in a row. for the men in maroon, a single single would do just fine. the first half was pretty much like the mid—may glasgow weather — all a little bit dull. hearts sat in to soak up what celtic had to offer and despite this edouard chance, the champions offered up very little. but shortly after the break, the goal of the game
9:32 am
was crying out for. this could be a big moment. it could be a very, very big moment! first blood to the underdogs. but their lead didn't last long. celtic pushed, hearts tripped, penalty given. edouard's leveller providing relief for those in green and white. it all got a little bit stodgy again until 10 minutes before the end. with history in their sights, edouard once again made hampden roar. a victory, so there was enough for neil lennon to be offered the celticjob on a permanent basis. it wasn't their best performance. the supporters won't care about that, but celtic have made world football history. the treble treble is theirs. chris mclaughlin, bbc news, hampden park. you will never see this again. it is
9:33 am
all about them. i had to whip them a little bit at half—time because we didn't start at the first half. i said if hearts scored, we would come again. we needed them to score before we got our urgency and the response was brilliant. i told you before the game hearts would not let us before the game hearts would not let us off easy. it was a very good final in terms of pressure. they have done it. tranmere are celebrating promotion to league one a year after returning to the football league. they beat newport county 1—0 in the league two playoff final thanks to connorjennings' last—gasp extra—time winner. cue wild celebrations, particularly from tranmere super fan and premier league referee mike dean. later, it's the league one play—off final between charlton and sunderland. england women's manager phil neville blamed what he described as a "messy performance" by his side on a tough week of training that included camping with the royal marines. england won their penultimate warm up match ahead of the world cup beating denmark 2—0 in walsall.
9:34 am
nikita parris scored the opening goalfor england just before half—time, but it was a far from flawless performance from phil neville's side. jill scott added some gloss to the scoreline but they were outplayed for long periods by denmark. england play new zealand next week before their world cup campaign starts onjune 9th. the second tennis grand slam of the season begins today, as the french open gets under way. british number one johanna konta begins her tournament tomorrow, against german qualifier antonia lottner. konta has never won a match at the french open, but she might be one to watch, as russell fuller explains. she has been heading in the right direction for a while but she hadn't really got the results into events. six wins out of six in a great britain vest in the federation cup in february and april, and winning some matches in stressful situations and she has been brilliant. now we
9:35 am
are seeing the sort of form from her we saw a couple of years ago when she ended up in the semi final of wimbledon and number four she ended up in the semi final of wimbledon and numberfour in she ended up in the semi final of wimbledon and number four in the world. formula i, and lewis hamilton dedicated his pole position for the monaco grand prix to the late niki lauda. hamilton edged out team mate valtterri bottas to take pole ahead of today's race. the world champion finished ahead of his mercedes partner by eight hundredths of a second, to take the 85th pole position of his career. max verstappen will start from third on the grid. hamilton is aiming for his third win at monaco. australia's steve smith scored a century as his side beat england by 12 runs in their world cup warm up match at southampton. both smith and david warner were playing their first match in england since serving bans for ball tampering, and both were booed by the crowd. it didn't put smith off though as he hit a century. australia made 297, which england looked on course to make untiljoss buttler was caught out and they lost by 12 runs.
9:36 am
i heard a few things as i went out to bat. it didn't really get to me. i kind of tried to keep my head down and move straight ahead. just do my job. fortunately today i was able to score a few runs for the team. and more importantly, spend some time in the middle before the first game in the middle before the first game in the world cup. i think it was expected. when english teams play in australia the crowds can be quite vociferous. i think it has been the same when australia have played in england. i am sure in time it will be forgotten. it is obviously the first time the guys have played here. i am sure as the summer goes on they will be more focused on the cricket. somerset beat defending champions hampshire by six wickets to claim the one day cup at lord's, the last time the final of the competition
9:37 am
will be held at lord's. somerset chased down a target of 216 to win a 50 over final for the first time since 2001. james hildreth hit an unbeaten 69. leinster held off a fightback from glasgow warriors to retain their pro 14 title. glasgow took an early lead through matt ferguson's try, before the irish side hit back with tries from gary ringrose and cian healy to seal an 18—15 victory at celtic park. saracens will face exeter in the premiership final, after both secured semi final victories yesterday. saracens beat gloucester by 44 points to 19. sarries ran in a total of six tries in the match. exeter beat northampton — the third time in the past four years these two sides will have contested the showpiece. warrington closed the gap on super league leaders st helens to four points, after a 26—14 victory over wigan in one of three magic weekend matches at anfield yesterday. it was warrington‘ second victory over wigan in 13 days. blake austin with the pick
9:38 am
of the tries for the wolves. elsewhere, there were wins for the catalan dragons and huddersfield giants. that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, here's maxine with the papers. hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are dawn foster, columnist at the guardian. and anne ashworth, associate editor of the times. let's take a look at the front pages. there's one story that dominates, of course — the race to become tory leader. the sunday times reports michael gove is also throwing his hat in the ring. we haven't heard officially from him yet. it says the environment secretary will make his case to lead the uk, in a podcast interview
9:39 am
with the bbc‘s nick robinson. the telegraph also leads with michael gove's leadership bid. the newspaper says he's pitching himself as a "unity" candidate, and as the best choice to take onjeremy corbyn. the mail on sunday features dominic raab, the former brexit secretary, entering the tory leadership contest. according to the observer, moderate conservatives are trying to stop borisjohnson becoming prime minister, in order to prevent a no—deal brexit. and borisjohnson is also facing an onslaught from brexiteers — that's according to the sunday express. it says nigel farage has criticised the former foreign secretary, saying you can't trust him over brexit. we have only just we have onlyjust got started as well. we will start with the times ina well. we will start with the times in a second. and, you are saying you think this is a great set of papers? i have had such fun reading these papers. anybody who thinks politics are boring would have their mind
9:40 am
changed by these papers. they are pa cey, changed by these papers. they are pacey, it has all the intrigue of a drama, all this jockeying for position amongst these various people who want to be the next prime minister. the underlying hatred, obviously, in some of the relationships. it is very interesting. people allowing other people to talk for them. it's very interesting. i think i would say hurray for the papers. for people interested in politics, by then. you will love it. i find it really interesting as well. even though there is one story, the way it has been covered is been different. lots of whatsapp messages linking. everybody attacking each other. i worried that we would have a rerun of 2016, when it came to the selection. but it seems like a lot more people are getting involved. there is a lot of infighting. i think we are going to see a lot of intrigue in the coming weeks. we we re intrigue in the coming weeks. we were trying to count how many people
9:41 am
had already declared as candidates and then the other people who would be wondering whether to run and the people who would support them. we we re people who would support them. we were at about 15, 16 by the time we finished. it is a wide—open field. it is already getting quite toxic. they have got until the 10th ofjune to declare. speaking outside his home in west london, the environment secretary has confirmed that he will be putting his name forward to be prime minister of this country. not just the leader of the conservatives. i believe i am ready to unite the conservative and union party, to give it its proper name, ready to deliver brexit and lead this great country. there he is on the front of the sunday times looking a little bit by —— like blow fell. with rather a cute dog. it is lovely. all the opportunities, the photo opportunities, have been thought about. we have seen this
9:42 am
before. they famously fell out, michael gove and boris johnson, after the referendum ? michael gove and boris johnson, after the referendum? already michael gove is seeking to undermine johnson. he is positioning himself asa johnson. he is positioning himself as a statesman, a man who has successfully run key government departments, controversially, but he feels well. he is also calling into question the whole of the boris, all thejobs question the whole of the boris, all the jobs boris has question the whole of the boris, all thejobs boris has done. it is a very interesting approach to position himself. he is not perfect but he is a man with attention to detail, which is the principle of thought that he finds injohnson. detail, which is the principle of thought that he finds in johnson. -- fault. michael gove also talking about how many departments he has run? i think michael gove realises that boris may have a certain popularity with some people but his big strength is that unlike a lot of ministers, when he is in a brief, he swats up, he spent a lot of time really looking into his brief.
9:43 am
swats up, he spent a lot of time really looking into his briefm swats up, he spent a lot of time really looking into his brief. is it not bizarre that that is even notable? yes. he wasn't even put up —— —— particular popularwhen notable? yes. he wasn't even put up —— —— particular popular when he was in education and the environment. he is playing up to this now. saying he will listen to people. he will bring people together. boris is extremely divisive. as michael gove said, not to be trusted. the sunday telegraph, michael gove says, back me to beat corbyn. this is something else people are saying, they need to bring the conservative together if they are going to see off labour in an election? some of them are playing a long game, thinking not just beyond the person who will lead brexit negotiations but who will lead the battered and bruised party ata lead the battered and bruised party at a general election. michael gove is saying he may have an appeal to those younger voters who might be suspicious ofjohnson, which is
9:44 am
really quite interesting, given his controversial stay at the education department. there are quite a few people who would like to stop boris. the mail on sunday, pm ray is turning toxic already. boris camp slams a second vote smears. we have not even god all of the candidates lined up yet. rory stewart had messages leaked saying that he could see himself as a kind of suicide bomber figure to try and stop boris johnson, which was quite inflammatory. i think a lot of people are quite nervous about rory stewart. they see him as a bilic —— big political assessment. and yet he is so different. we talked to him yesterday. he says, sometimes you need ajiminy yesterday. he says, sometimes you need a jiminy cricket instead of a pinocchio. i asked need a jiminy cricket instead of a pinocchio. iasked him how he need a jiminy cricket instead of a pinocchio. i asked him how he coped with a brand like borisjohnson and he said, you deliver with results. is rory stewart of the dark horse?
9:45 am
quite often these leadership elections end up with unexpected person coming forward, they stand on the sidelines and wait until other people knock each other out and come forward. in the mail on sunday we have dominic raab setting out his stall at some length. he has really thought out what he is going to stand for, which isjust thought out what he is going to stand for, which is just about everything. lower taxes plus paternity leave. absolutely. dominic raab says that he can stop corbyn, as other people have. but he wants to raise paternity leave for a man and bringing apprentice ships for 14 to 16—year—olds. and bringing apprentice ships for 14 to 16-year-olds. how do we find those? we don't seem to have enough for 18—year—olds. i was reading a little bit earlier that in 50 years, the favourite has never won the leadership race. it is extraordinary. i think there are
9:46 am
some quite brave statements from some quite brave statements from some politicians such as david gauke in this observer story, warning about the problems that would arise from a no—deal brexit. somehow the party seems to have fallen in love with this, without telling us about the consequences. the one thing i would say is lacking from this great stack of papers is a real explainer, as we call it in the trade, about what a no bail —— a no—deal brexit would mean. completely. boris has said no matter what happens he wants to be out of the eu but october to _by to be out of the eu but october to —— by october 31 without or with a deal. boris has talked about no deal as an option as if it was a set of policy proposals put forward, a state we immediately enter, when in actual fact is he's pretty much disarray. now it is entirely sure what would happen. no deal is the
9:47 am
beginning of the process. what would happen. no deal is the beginning of the processm what would happen. no deal is the beginning of the process. it is immensely complicated to have a no—deal brexit. immensely complicated to have a no-deal brexit. these stories are the gifts that keep on giving. there is always somebody new who emerges. it looks as if philip hammond, a very respected figure in the government, the —— is going to be in the anti—boris johnson moderate government, the —— is going to be in the anti—borisjohnson moderate one nation tory camp for the moment. it would be interesting to see during the whole of this debate whether anybody is able to get the rhetoric onto the good things that might have happened during this government, such as lower taxes, higher employment, but it seems as if there is only one show in town, brexit. then people will point to its territory. yes. -- austerity. for those of us who love politics, this is so interesting. the sunday mirror talking about borisjohnson as well.
9:48 am
the battle to become prime minister. boris wants a quickie divorce. he wa nts to boris wants a quickie divorce. he wants to be divorce for his wife, marina. he now has a new partner, carrie symons. you can't have a quickie divorce in this country. sorry to say that. not for several months. i wonder if boris noted the reaction last year to the royal wedding andi reaction last year to the royal wedding and i would unified the nation. so that he thinks a wedding while he is prime minister will unite the nation because we do love a wedding. but i wonder if this is a device to stop the tory faithful asking questions about his somewhat colourful asking questions about his somewhat colou rful love asking questions about his somewhat colourful love life. i think i asking questions about his somewhat colourful love life. i thinki agree with that. basically it shows that
9:49 am
boris now is he has wanted a divorce for ages. now he boris now is he has wanted a divorce forages. now he is boris now is he has wanted a divorce for ages. now he is trying to get everything in place so he can be the perfect candidate. and that includes his personal life as well as his political life. one just wonders what are the key factors will be when they choose. what will be the usp that really makes them choose the next leader? i am fascinated. back to the observer for the final bit of politics. this is tom watson, the deputy leader of the labour party, saying that he believes they must back a second vote. but the party is split? yeah. i find it quite interesting that he is saying this because that goes in direct contradiction with party policy, which says the party will back a second referendum if they don't think a deal can pass. watson wants them to go further and to be honest, we aren't really going to see any
9:50 am
real progress on brexit until after the party conference anyway. i think some of it isjockeying for the party conference anyway. i think some of it is jockeying for what could happen at labour conference. there will be a big showdown. you have got to get the legislation through if you are going to get a second referendum. that takes months. we are supposed to be out by the 31st of october. there are a great many flowery statements. but the watson piece is quite emotive. he sees his party's weaknesses and says they must be able work against virage. and for the moment a lot of people really don't know what labour stands for. does it stand for a second referendum, or are they profoundly eurosceptic? the big thing that is missing here is, what happens if there is a second referendum and leave win again? everybody pushing for a second referendum seems to be assuming that remain will win this time. if they don't, the country is more divided and we haven't gotten any further
9:51 am
forward. let's look at the sunday times again. away from the politics. page 13. predators flock to snapchat. this is an investigation by the sunday times. police investigating three cases of child exploit a synod day linked to this app. you need to take a deep breath if you are a parent before reading this story. it seems as if this site isa this story. it seems as if this site is a way in which predators, paedophiles, lying about their age, can prey on our children. it seems as if the checks and balances that we are regularly assured are being put in place to stop this happening, are not there. i know that snapchat says it has a report, but i wonder ifa says it has a report, but i wonder if a child who is being totally groomed by one of these people, has any power to be able to push that button. let's give snapchat‘s statement.
9:52 am
they say, we care deeply about protecting our community and are sickened by any behaviour which involves the abuse of a minor. we work hard to detect, prevent and stop abuse on our platform and encourage everyone, young people, pa rents encourage everyone, young people, parents and caregivers, to have open conversations about what they are doing online. we will continue to proactively work with governments, law enforcement and other agencies to ensure that snapchat continues to bea to ensure that snapchat continues to be a positive, safe environment. there are issues with all online platforms, aren't there? people can pretend they are something that they are not. the issue with snapchat is that images disappear. messages disappear within 24 hours. yeah, it is completely ephemeral. as soon as you have watched it, you can't watch it again. obviously abuses will try to use different platforms and different apps to groom and abuse people. but it is the fact it is so ephemeral that makes it so hard to detect for the
9:53 am
police. very hard for the police to follow it up. it is interesting in this case that the case study that goes with this story, a difficult read, is that this child had wished to be in contact with her abuser on facebook, but he would not use that channel because, of course, there is a trail of all the content on facebook. asa facebook. as a parent is very difficult to get your child to be open about what they are doing because they think you are trying to pry. and it is all about keeping them safe. and they know that but they still, there is a relu cta nce know that but they still, there is a reluctance to share what it is they are doing. and they don't even know necessarily that they are being led down that path. these are things we didn't have to navigate as teenagers. you will talk about people behind scams is confident —— confident strictures. these paedophiles are the ultimate confidence trickster is. there is an
9:54 am
online harm is paper out for consultation. it closes on the 1st ofjuly. it would be very useful for the government if parents could share their experiences with that. absolutely. as well as the centre for abuse, we have seen stories about instagram, young children and teenagers who have been seeking out information about suicide and also to things. there are so many problems. maybe this is one of the things mrs maybe this is one of the things mrs may needs to address in her last few days as prime minister. some of this great promises made on the steps of number or, maybe this is one of the things she should address. —— number or. things she should address. -- number or. city financiers using hypnosis to cut down. who is this with the prediction? a very confidential —— controversial finance year. he has admitted he is
9:55 am
entirely addicted to roast potatoes with gravy. and he will go into smart restaurants and order only that. does anybody who quite likes to order chips from the canteen or somewhere else, feel that that is an addiction? they don't, generally. somewhere else, feel that that is an addiction? they don't, generallym you have it three times a day, maybe! it is the carbs thing. it is the sugar hit in another form. he is diabetic as well. it is very anti—social to go into a restaurant and order roast potatoes. but equally, if you are diabetic, there isa equally, if you are diabetic, there is a health risk. i sense that story would make a lot of people think, that would be nice, roast potatoes with gravy. not quite the weather for it but we could make an exception. there is a useful recipe. yes, tom kerridge has provided that. a very nice bit of pragmatic placement. that's it for the papers this morning. don't forget, you can see
9:56 am
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. you have just about got time if you wa nt to you have just about got time if you want to get some spuds in for lunch, done by about midday. the andrew marr show is coming up next on bbc one. and stay with the bbc news channel for the headlines at ten. very nice to see you both. thank you for coming. bye—bye. hello there. it has been quite a mild start to our sunday but a lot of cloud around. there is also some rain. i have managed to find a little bit of brightness along the south coast. not too bad this morning. it would probably stay dry for much of the day. some wet weather has been moving through
9:57 am
scotland, out of northern ireland, into the north of england and parts of wales. it will weaken as it pushes its way steadily south and east. a band of showery rain moving its way through the midlands into lincolnshire by lunchtime and down into the south—east corner, eventually. we should see an improvement as we go through the day across northern england, southern scotland, northern ireland, brighter skies into the afternoon. a breezy affair. feeling rather cool under disappointing cloud and rain that will linger to the north—west of the great glen. temperatures peaking at around nine to 12 degrees. into the south, 20, may be 21 if we are lucky. the weather front will move into the near continent during the early hours of monday morning. it will be replaced by another one. an occluded front. an area of rain that will haunt the far north—west of scotland. disappointing. a cooler start to monday morning. some clear skies and some sunshine around first thing on monday. the north—westerly
9:58 am
breeze, that will drive in more cloud and the potential for some showers on exposed coasts. some of those will push further inland as we go through the day. sheltered eastern areas should see the best of the dryer weather. the rain still lingering. a disappointing feel in the far north. as we move out of monday, the weak weather front will continue to move steadily south. what is important about that is it allows the winds to swing to a northerly. that will drive in these blue tones, cooler air. tuesday could be disappointing. it will be breezy, it will feel just that bit cooler. and there could be some sharp nuisance showers as well. temperatures only peeking into the mid to high teens if we are lucky. that is just below where they should be for the time of the year. in scotla nd be for the time of the year. in scotland as well we still keep only single figures. through the middle pa rt single figures. through the middle part of the week we look into the atla ntic part of the week we look into the atlantic as a series of weather fronts continue to put in. that will bring yet more wet weather. there is a level of uncertainty where the rain is going to be sitting. you
