‘ what either side of the players. for what will be the biggest sporting event this game has ever changed —— this country has ever staged. before we go, just time to give you a behind to give you a behind the scenes peek at anthonyjoshua's preparations for his latest world title defence. he fights andy ruinunior at madison square garden in new york on saturday night, but he's made miami his home in the run up. the heavyweight champion met up with a familiar face. rory mcilroy — who also lives in florida. looks like he's got himself a nice pad to relax in. on the beach. i would absolutely love to be there. fair play. a bit of sunshine and palm trees this time of sunshine and palm trees this time of year, fantastic. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers.

welcome to our look ahead to the papers, the conversation has already started! with me are james rampton, features writer, independent and laura hughes, political correspondent, ft. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in — with the results of the european elections dominating the papers. the ft has an image of a gleeful nigel farage on its front page, following his brexit party's sweeping victory. mr farage is also on the metro's front page. he says his party could target a general election if brexit isn't delivered. the telegraph details a warning from jeremy hunt, that pushing through a no—deal brexit would be political suicide for the conservatives after it's poor shwowing in the european

elections. the guardian goes with labour's shift in its position on brexit, with the party pledging to support a second referendum on any deal. the times details how some conservative leadership contenders will embrace a no—deal brexit to see off the threat of nigel farage. the daily mail goes with labour's poor show in the european elections, with the paper claiming that jeremy corbyn is close to committing to a second brexit vote. the i goes with nigel farage‘s claim that his brexit party could set its sights on westminster following a strong performance in the elections. those are the front pages. a few days ago it was all about boris, wasn't it? who's morais? laughter now it is all about nigel. —— who is boris? now the metro and the man at the moment, he said he would win an election. well, he says a lot of

things, i don't always 100% agree with everything he says. i think he isa with everything he says. i think he is a fantastic salesman. some people have called him a snake oil salesman. he is brilliant at bluster and bravado and braggadocio and all those other words beginning with b, i won't mention the rude ones, but i do think he is all mouth and no trousers. i mean, it's a complete repeat of what he did in 2014 with ukip, more or less the same share of the vote, the same cataclysmic effect on the tory party, but i think it's a sort of one—day wonder. if you actually drill down and examine the figures, the overtly pro—remain parties got a higher popular vote. what do you make of that spin on the result?” popular vote. what do you make of that spin on the result? i agree with it. as a remainer myself, if you look at the parties that said they would support remain, they got 9 million votes, and explicitly no—deal brexit got i think 6.8

million. so there is a big gulf there and i think yes, farage a tt ra cts there and i think yes, farage attracts a lot of attention and we in the media are sometimes guilty i believe of giving him too much attention, because after all he doesn't have any mps. he stood eight times for parliament and has never got in. ukip didn't win any seats at the last election, i would be very surprised if the brexit party one at the next election because they will already migrate to the tory party. soi already migrate to the tory party. so i think the big change will be to make the labour party more honest about this. this has been the huge issue i think for remainers, corbyn‘s wiesel ines. he has sat on the bench for so long, refused to go one way 01’ the bench for so long, refused to go one way or the other, if it came out and openly said i support remain, a second referendum, which he seems to be edging towards tonight, i think it would be a huge win for him. combined with the lib dems and the others, the greens and change uk, i think they would win easily. laura? i think this front page is very much a warning shot to the conservatives

who have a conservative leadership race ongoing and the warning amongst europhile tory mps is that this will encourage candidates to take a hard i'io encourage candidates to take a hard no deal stance. boris johnson, dominic raab, esther mcvey, three candidates who have already announced their intention to run are already taking that strong line. what nigel farage is saying is, look, the country want a no deal ha rd look, the country want a no deal hard brexit. if you don't deliver that, conservatives, we are going to set ourselves up as a proper parliamentary party with a manifesto, we will run in a general election and we will take your seats. this is what nigel farage wants to make of today's result. one word of caution, we are obviously making a huge deal of this, it is definitely a moment, but turnout on thursday's election was much lower to the turnout in the referendum. they are different voters, aren't they? a different cross—section. they are different voters, aren't they? a different cross-section. you could argue that those who voted for the no deal parties or the revoke

article 50 parties are on the extreme ends of those who didn't turn up to vote in the referendum. this is not a general election, people use this as a chance to protest to say something, doesn't mean if you voted for the brexit party that you would vote for them ina general party that you would vote for them in a general election. let's turn to paper to the iyer. do you think this is something the public are looking for rather than an uninspiring politician? is he a threat? it is so easy to be on the outside a demagogic figure promising things you know you will never have to deliver because you will never be elected as prime minister. i think it isa elected as prime minister. i think it is a cheap victory for him because he can promise the earth and he knows no one will ever hold him to it. i think if you were standing for parliament, there is talk about peterborough in a few weeks. i would

be very surprised if he's dead because he would not be guaranteed a victory. to lose for a night time would be humiliating for him. however, i do think he will concentrate the minds of the two main parties who had, let's be honest a disastrous night. and if he makes corbyn finally come out for remain, ithink makes corbyn finally come out for remain, i think that may be an upset that would be —— an upshot that would be good for the remainers. he has firmed up labour as a remain party and therefore strength the remain vote in the country overall. before we turn to labour, nigel farage has been accused of running scared from the second referendum. do you think he is really scared of that? ann widdecombe made the very good point that we have one policy, one question, brexit with no deal. yes, it depends what is on the ballot paper, if it was a no deal versus revoke article 50 remain election, look, it depends who you talk to. the poles are so different.

i don't think anyone is particularly sure or certain i don't think anyone is particularly sure 01’ certain oi'i i don't think anyone is particularly sure or certain on either side of the argument and both will argue that they will of course win. talking to tory mps in parliament, it is actually quite hard to find the brexiteers who think a no deal would necessarily win. but honestly, i don't know actually, because again, turnout could be so different. people might be so fed up that they don't bother, what's the point? it is hard to say. nigel farage came out in favour of a second referendum last year, and then rowed back on that. but actually i can envisage a scenario whereby the next tory leader is forced to hold a second referendum, because we get to the end of october, and they go for a no deal, parliament rejected, parliament moves to bring the government down. a leader looking forward might conclude that the only way out is a second referendum, because an

election might be so polarising nigel farage's party might be do so well. let's turn to the times and concentrate on the woes of the tories. like you say, they are looking to embrace no—deal brexit, are they really? no, there are many to noisy people that we had too much from on the tv, saying everybody wa nts from on the tv, saying everybody wants no deal. no they don't come every time it has gone to parliament parliament has voted it down. philip hammond has explicitly said he would vote against the government in a no—confidence motion. he won't be alone, there will be dominic grieve, iimagine alone, there will be dominic grieve, i imaginejustine alone, there will be dominic grieve, i imagine justine greening, alone, there will be dominic grieve, i imaginejustine greening, kenneth clarke, and it only takes two mps, remember their majority is only four even with the dup so it takes two tories to vote against the government to bring down the government to bring down the government so it would be way too controversial for dominic raab government so it would be way too controversialfor dominic raab in government so it would be way too controversial for dominic raab in a ridiculous match away said he will force it through. he can't, cannot, the maths aren't there thanks to theresa may's disastrous decision to

call an election in 2017. the maths aren't there for the tories. he cannot force through a no deal and i agree with you, it will probably go to another referendum. to get it through that second stage a parliamentary consensus, put it on there? yes, i say that, there is also a very real possibility mps say they will bring down the government but when it comes to it, they don't, and they don't want to lose their seats in the general election. they go, well,, theyjust get it through. sol go, well,, theyjust get it through. so i say that and it is actually very ha rd so i say that and it is actually very hard for parliament to stop a fio very hard for parliament to stop a no deal if the government doesn't bring forward any legislation there is nothing to amend. we know we have john bercow, who is a speaker who voted to remain in the eu and has gone against all convention to do what suits him and his agenda. sol do think parliament would find a way of stopping it, but it is also not impossible. let's turn to the daily telegraph. when you read this,

talking about political suicide, this coming from mr hunt. do voters really care about political careers? he is speaking to the party here. no, i mean, they don't. politicians ca re no, i mean, they don't. politicians care mostly about their own careers much more than anything else. it was reported, i don't know who it was, you might know, one tory mp was told by five different candidates that he would be made foreign secretary. so they will say anything to anybody in order to prolong their own careers and to promote themselves, and a p pa re ntly and to promote themselves, and apparentlyjohnson said to a prominent tory when he was asked why are you going for this job? he said i wanted, i want it, i want it, how childish and embarrassing is that? soi childish and embarrassing is that? so i think we should treat with supreme so i think we should treat with supreme scepticism anything mps say in public. a lot of them apparently voted for the brexit party. there is no proof of that, but we mustn't believe everything they say. however, i do think it is very

interesting jeremy hunt is creating clear blue water between himself and the no deal brigade, by saying that would be a disaster and typically is putting it in terms of the tory party, it would lead to the extinction of the tory party. i think is that true. jeremy hunt voted remain are now trying to convince the brexiteers, i am on your side, and played hardball on brexit. now for him to actually come out in tomorrow's paper saying no deal is not a good idea is interesting. i think what we will see is this leadership race split between those who advocate a no deal and those who say they want a new one. the no deal people are also saying we will go back to the eu and renegotiate a better deal but the eu commission is not going to be set backin commission is not going to be set back in its hq until the very end of october, beginning of november, so really there is not going to be time to renegotiate this new sparkly deal that they say they are going to, and why would the eu move when they haven't in the past particularly if

they think the comments will block it anyway? those discussions are starting tomorrow because they are meeting for a number of things including newjob titles. the european commission doesn't sit until the 1st of november. even if they say we will give you the unicorn, they couldn't because they will not be sitting until after our deadline. labour now, the brexit deal must be put to the public vote, says corbyn. are we sure about that, is he sure about that, do we know what is going on? laura, tell us what is going on? laura, tell us what you really think! the most extraordinary thing yesterday was watching emily thornberry, the shadow foreign secretary sat on the bbc, looking utterly depressed, and saying we've got it wrong so far, out saying we've got it wrong so far, our message was incredibly confused and we have lost voters to largely the liberal democrats, who were very clear that they wanted a second referendum. we need to change our policy. john mcdonnell the shadow chancellor has also come out today and said there is no other way out other than a second referendum.

corbyn has been under huge pressure from the members, his mps, and he has resisted. they have managed to play this very delicate act of saying that they support a second referendum on a deal but they prefer a general election. there is nothing delicate about that. it's rubbish. it is very hard to explain and it doesn't work on the doors. he has released a statement tonight that is stronger, and it is a shift in tone, but it's not going to be enough for the emily thornberrys that want labour to back a referendum in any event. i think yes, you are right, and laura kuenssberg were saying, she realised it was a scoop, she said you as shadow foreign secretary are saying you disagree with the leader's policy? she said, yes, i do. she said she had spoken to someone on the doorstep, spent five minutes trying to explain the policy and even then it wasn't clear. robin has got himself into a terrible mess trying to be all things to all people and he has to be clear or he is toast, as last night shows. i

live in islington. to be beaten by the lib dems in islington is a humiliation. that hasn't happened since thejurassic era. humiliation. that hasn't happened since the jurassic era. moving on to the daily mail, still on corbyn, just to add to the pressure, len mccluskey just to add to the pressure, len m cclus key of just to add to the pressure, len mccluskey of the unite union has also added to this, saying hold your nerve, we are going to have a general election. len mccluskey's position is well known, and his distrust of the likes of tom watson who again have been very clear over the weekend that they want a second referendum, it is of no surprise, and he is the leader of unite, which is very close to jeremy corbyn. but it does say something about the positionjeremy corbyn it does say something about the position jeremy corbyn is it does say something about the positionjeremy corbyn is in. he is having these conversations with everyone. one of those people will be then, and he is saying something about death will be len mccluskey. yes, labour lost most of the lib dems but also to the brexit party. there are labour voters who want the uk to leave the eu and we haven't and they blame a lot of that on

labour. so it is a very complex picture, and i can understand why the labour team have played the part that they have. but now it is really so clear that it hasn't worked. for them to be beaten by the lib dems in opposition... very quickly, just running out of time, how long do you think before his position as leader is question? i think it has already been questioned. laura was talking earlier about tom watson gathering a tea m earlier about tom watson gathering a team around him. john mcdonnell who used to be not separated even by a suffolk cigarette paper from corbyn over the anti—semitism issue and now this as well is for the first time distancing himself. corbyn is looking isolated, he has an entourage of yes—men around him, but cracks will form. if they continue to do so badly, he can't hang on. we will do this all over again. so much

to talk about! europe as well. james and laura, thank you very much, see you at 11:30pm. in the meantime, all the front pages are online. you can also catch up on the programme, thank you to laura and james, i will see you at the top of the hour. good morning. our bank holiday weekend brought mixed fortunes for some. in fact on monday it was still pleasa ntly warm some. in fact on monday it was still pleasantly warm with 20 degrees the high in greater london and drive for some. there were a rash of showers around and it was cold further north. despite this beautiful weather watcher picture, only 11 degrees the high in aberdeenshire, and some of the highs throughout the day were a real nuisance for many. this cold air that has been sitting across scotland will sink its way

steadily south over the next few days and push the milder air to the north —— to the near continent. it will be a chilly affair over the next couple of days at least. there will still be some showers around, showers chiefly down through the east coast on tuesday, sheltered western area seeing the best of the dryer, bright and airy with the exception of western isles and into the north—west of the great glen. temperatures disappointing, ten to 19 degrees at the very best if you get a bit of brightness. a chilly day on tuesday will lead to lighter winds and a chilly night, particularly across eastern areas, before a series of weather fronts pushing from the atlantic, and they threaten more rain eventually. central and eastern areas with clearer skies. the rain gathers into the south—west of england and wales. there is a level of uncertainty as to just wear this there is a level of uncertainty as tojust wear this rain there is a level of uncertainty as to just wear this rain will be

sitting, so you need to keep abreast of the forecast on wednesday but there is the potential for of the forecast on wednesday but there is the potentialfor some of the forecast on wednesday but there is the potential for some wet weather to push in from the south—west. it will weaken across the country and we will see some rain pushing into northern ireland, north—west england and southern scotla nd north—west england and southern scotland as well. not a particularly warm day on wednesday, a lot of cloud around, highs of 11 to 16 celsius, but the good news is is that frontal system continues to push its way steadily northwards into scotland, it allows high pressure to build yet again from the south, and the wind to change to a south—westerly full stop that has the potential to drive in milder air and the temperatures are set to rise again. yes, it is half term for many, after that brief blip in the feel of the weather through the middle of the week, it looks like things will getjust middle of the week, it looks like things will get just that middle of the week, it looks like things will getjust that little bit sunnier and warmer, with the exception of the far north.

this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 11:00pm: nigel farage says he is ready to fight a general election, after his new brexit party secured nearly a third of the vote, and 29 meps. if we don't leave on 31 october, dare i say, we could produce a result in the next general election that will suffer. but it was also a great night for the liberal democrats. they say it gives hope to all people who want to stop brexit. it was the worst ever result for the conservatives. they came in fifth place, giving new urgency to the search for a new leader. and labour is also nursing heavy losses. the leadership is now under intense pressure to back a new brexit referendum.
