hello, this is bbc news. we will be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first the headlines: nigel farage says he is ready to fight a general election, after his new brexit party topped

the polls in the european elections. if we don't leave on 31 october, then i think we could produce a result in the next general election that will stun them. 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. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow. with me are james rampton, features writer at the independent, and laura hughes, political correspondent for the ft. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. 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 its poor showing 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. it is all very much about those results that came in in the early hours of this morning. let's start off with the metro, and the man of the moment, nigel faris, claiming we would win an election. laura? we are stunned into silence by that claim! go for it, laura. it made me shut down. this is what nigel faris is saying today. he is saying to the conservative parties, look, listen, people want us to leave the european union and they are ready to do it without a deal. you've got to get it

through by 31 october. if you don't, and we end up fighting a general election, we will stand against you and we will destroy you as we have donein and we will destroy you as we have done in these european poles. that will be worrying a lot of conservative moderates tonight, who fear that this will lead to tory leadership candidates pushing themselves further to the right and going in advocating for a no deal ha rd going in advocating for a no deal hard brexit. it is not all bluster, is it, now that we have seen these results 7 is it, now that we have seen these results? know, exactly. he is the king of bluster, and to me it is quite analogous to what happened in 2014 when he was leading you kept and they again won by a similar margin. it is only 31% of the votes, it is not by any means a landslide victory, if that were transposed to a general election —— ukip. it wouldn't be anyway because a lot of vote rs wouldn't be anyway because a lot of voters would migrate back to the two formally main parties. one option would of this is it will force

labour upshot of this is it would force labour to put its house in order, the silly shelling of corban's position has been shown to be untenable —— shillyshallying. it was intriguing and fascinating but a bit squirm inducing to see the trouble that she had been put in by her party's own position. she is clearly a very strong remainer and she felt, i believe, that her leader's position had put her in an untenable situation. because she couldn't explain on the doorstep what it was that they were proposing. and she said in unequivocal terms we have to campaign fora unequivocal terms we have to campaign for a second referendum and we have to campaign for remain. and john mcdonnell, the shadow chancellor, has come out today, two very big hitters injeremy corbyn's party, he has to listen to that or he will be even more toast than he is today. and this is a question of

leadership policies, isn't it? because as you say the brexit party is in its infancy, and yet there is something about nigel faris that the public see and would rather turn to, what he is saying matters as well, but a lot of politicians these days are seen by the public as uninspiring. and it is easier for nigel faris on the outside to say what he says, he has not been confronted in the same way theresa may has with the parliamentary arithmetic she has and the issues she has had in trying to put a deal through. but it clearly is about one man, this is about personality politics, it is reminiscent of when ukip won the most meps in the last european parliament. that scared david cameron so much then that he called the referendum in the first place, and again, nigel faris is back under the different guys of the brexit party, but again scaring the

life into conservatives —— nigel barrage. it might have an impact on what borisjohnson does, dominic raab, tory leadership contenders and whether they think they have to play it hard now to win back those disillusioned voters who turned to the brexit party and nigel farage, saying come back to us, we get it, we hear you. turning back to the daily mirror, we are still hearing talk of compromise, and from the result we woke up to this morning, do you think the british public care about compromise? well, not especially, but i would echo what laura said, and i don't actually credit the tory leadership candidates with much bottle, but i think they should stand up to nigel faris, he is all mouth and no trousers. he has never been elected to parliament, he has tried eight times in the past. he is threatening

a lot, but it is easy on the sidelines to promise masses you don't have to deliver if you are not an elected politician. all he has done is so chaos in the major parties, which may finally enough i think turn out to be the better for this country, if it makes them more honest about their positions, especially the labour party, if it makesjeremy especially the labour party, if it makes jeremy corbyn more straightforward about backing remain, which it is clearfrom last night's vote he has to do if he doesn't want to be completely wiped out, that may be an unexpected consequence of nigel farage's victory last night, but it a right mess, as the mirror said. it is a right mess, isn't it? yes, but again people vote quite differently to how they would have done in a general election, it was a protest vote for many people, it was a chance to restate your position and make clear either that you want to revoke article 50 and stay in the eu, you

did that by going for the liberal democrats or the green party, and then again if you want to do no deal brexit, you are going for the brexit party, and ukip didn't do too well, but again you might put your vote there. but it doesn't take into consideration the voters out there who might accept brexit but want a deal. there are still a lot of people in the middle who might have felt a bit politically homeless who didn't turn out to vote. so those that did felt very strongly about what they felt, whereas actually there are a lot people who might have said i don't really know how to vote because i think brexit should happen, but! vote because i think brexit should happen, but i don't want no deal, the tories are a mess, i don't understand what labour are saying, what should i do? wright let's turn to the express and the battle to get brexit sorted. two things are coming out of this now, approaching 24 hours. one is brexit and as we will see ina

hours. one is brexit and as we will see in a moment, another one is the political careers and survival of political careers and survival of political parties. absolutely. i would say that this has forced the tory party candidates to stare into the abyss, almost, because they are looking at a complete wipeout if they continue to just fight amongst themselves like ferrets in a sack. however, i do fear that they will go to extreme. dominic raab said it is easy, i will just to extreme. dominic raab said it is easy, i willjust go back to the eu and say we're going renegotiate the withdrawal deal. what part of that did he not understand? he was bizarrely an almost in comprehensively involved in the last negotiation, he signed off on it one day and resigned the next. how can he possibly think that the eu will change its mind because he is the new prime minister? he says i have a flanking majority. to me, he is unconscionably match are, and all this stuff about i will drive it through and no—one else can ——

macho. do you think theresa may will ta ke macho. do you think theresa may will take all of those —— do you think the eu will take those british meps heading their way seriously?“ the eu will take those british meps heading their way seriously? if they go out there and cause trouble, which jacob rees—mogg suggested they could, they are not going to want us to hang around in the eu. it might be an incentive for them tojust let us be an incentive for them tojust let us fall off the cliff at the end of october. i don't think they would, but this is unsettling for them. you wouldn't want them in their club, if they are just going to make trouble and they don't want to really be there. but this idea about candidates renegotiating a better deal, there isn't really time. there genuinely isn't time because the eu commission isn't back up and running until the very end of october, one november. which is the deadline. yes, so there are a lot of tory mps who say that those advocating for a

renegotiated deal are not being honest. what they really want is a long runway to a no deal. the daily telegraph, pursuing a earlier brexit would be suicidal conservatives, and a picture of borisjohnson with, it says, his girlfriend. ithinkjeremy hunt, he is a tory, he is extremely slippery, in my view. he keeps changing his mind according to what he thinks will promote his own career. however, he is being quite brave here. he is the only one who has come out and said no deal would bea has come out and said no deal would be a disaster. again, it is all about protecting his own skin and his party's skin. throughout brexit, it has been about the tories putting their party before the country, they are only concerned about their own future, not the country. but he said it would be political suicide, if they allowed an ideal, they would allow a marxist prime minister to be

allow a marxist prime minister to be a number ten by christmas. i think all of that is true, and i commend him for his bravery because it probably won't do him much favour with the extreme... extremist perhaps overstating, but the hardline brexiteers who are the tory party members, the 100,000 odd, isn't that weird that 0.2% of the population will decide the next prime minister, but they will probably not have much truck with that. and he will also distance himself from the also—rans who are saying i will shove it back up, up yours to laws, all that stuff, i will go and tell the eu, no they won't. 27 countries will say there is the cliff, off you run, enjoy the swim. it is interesting that the telegraph, which i imagine a lot of tory membership might read, on the day after these results, have gone with a story which is about the negative effects of a no deal, when you might have expected them to say

i'iow you might have expected them to say now is the time when actually it is the times and other newspapers warning that this now means candidates will shift to no deal. i would almost swap them. jeremy hunt has specifically chosen this newspaper to make this warning. he is going for grassroots membership and saying something completely different to what is perhaps the popular thing to say today, over the course of this election. rory stewart, matt hancock, our two candidates who have warned about no deal. it will be tricky for them to do that. we are seeing an emergence of two very different camps. do you think it is the right time, though? one of the first things people will be asking is how the parties learned their lesson in terms of the message that has been sent. is it the right time to be talking party politics rather than speaking directly to the voters, to the british public? you could have said that any time in the last 30 years, really. every tory leader since mrs thatcher has been

totalled by europe, and it has been the of session, the continuing psychodrama, for the tory party has been europe. and how things change. within the tory party, it is all about fixed ideas, i can't use that either. it is their obsession, and for the rest of us who are not tories, they seem to be sacrificing oui’ tories, they seem to be sacrificing our futures and our children's futures in their own psychodrama. and no—one is going out there trying to change voters' mines. no—one's minds have been changed. instead of saying no deal is bad, no deal is good, that has become their argument, not actually do you really believe this is the right thing to do? would you go back to your eurosceptic grassroots tory members and make that case? it is hard to do that, but there are a lot of moderate tory mps who are very worried that what nigel farage has doneis

worried that what nigel farage has done isjust going to push the party very much to the right into a no deal. but in funny way what philip hammond said a few days ago gives me some hope. because he is going to be brave, he says he is going to be brave, he says he is going to be brave, and take a stance, probably suicidalfor his own brave, and take a stance, probably suicidal for his own career, and vote against the government in a vote against the government in a vote of no—confidence, and i am sure there will be others, possibly dominic grieve, kenneth clarke, justin grayling, are names that spring to mind. they have a majority of four, even with the dup, so it ta kes two of four, even with the dup, so it takes two to change sides and the government crashes down. if they see it hurtling towards a precipice, the brave and in my view principle tories will take a stand against it, sacrificed themselves to save the country. let's turn to the daily mail. really bad set of elections for the labour

party, a party in opposition to come into third place. a lot of labour vote rs into third place. a lot of labour voters who supported another referendum have chosen to go to the lib dems who had a clear message, to stop brexit. you're not allowed to say they got rooted! it is a family show. they now think a second referendum is the answer. jeremy corbyn has changed his answers a bit. there has been a huge fallout and he is now saying that a second referendum would be a possibility at some point and he backs a public vote but he's not saying he backs it i'iow. vote but he's not saying he backs it now. he does not go far enough again to appease the members and a lot of his mps. what would it take for

jeremy corbyn to come out and say i believe in a second referendum. there is a famous scene from happy days, you are too young to remember. there is a character called fonz... there is a character called fonz... the fonz. i'm sorry, he could not say sorry and this is the same with jeremy corbyn. his party is a shifting so much the momentum in that direction that even he cannot deny it. i live in his constituency where even the cats and dogs vote labour and they lost last night to the leap dams and that has not happened since the jurassic the leap dams and that has not happened since thejurassic era. —— lib dems. we had from a number of

high—profile labour figures. tom watson saying we need to find a voice rather fast. when watson saying we need to find a voice ratherfast. when hejeremy corbyn talking about having conversations over the next few days, i mean, what sort of message is that sending out? that he doesn't really wa nt is that sending out? that he doesn't really want to because...” is that sending out? that he doesn't really want to because... i have something in my ear i can't hear properly... some saying hold strong, it is all a plot to unseat and destabilise jeremy corbyn. they did lose votes to the lib dems but also to the brexit party. it is not as black—and—white as we make out. the reason why there is this constructive ambiguity for team corbin is because they have members that did vote leave and mps who are

in leave voting seeds. but it has finally snapped. it has not work. as a parent, the piece in the telegraph of videogame addiction officially being called an illness.|j of videogame addiction officially being called an illness. i am fortu nate being called an illness. i am fortunate i have three girls and they prefer books to videogames — that makes me sound like the worst kind of pompous victorians. i would love to play video games but my daughters never went for them. i have seen it happen and there are friends who have become completely obsessed with them, never leave the room, sit in their pyjamas all the time and that is clearly bad and one of the focus is on children's mental health and sitting watching video games all day has to be terrible. this is coming from the world health

organization. on that note, thank you very much. a fascinating chat. 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. thank you, goodbye. good evening, i'm gavin ramjaun. here's your latest sports news. it's party time if you're an aston villa fan this evening. a place in the premier league awaits after they beat derby 2—1, in the championship playoff final. it's a remarkable turnaround for villa, who at one stage of the season looked out of the promotion race, before going on a record league run. patrick gearey reports now from wembley. it is aston villa who returned to

the premier league after three seasons away in the second—tier championship. they will benefit with at least £170 million across three yea rs at least £170 million across three years and that could go up to £300 million if they managed to stay up for one season. it was an entertaining final at wembley stadium. the deadlock was broken when the ball was shouldered in. aston villa went to—o up. a terrible time to make a mistake like that. derby had to go and save their season with 20 minutes left. they did get one back with ten left. not clear if the player got a touch but it was academic. it was all about whether derby could get the equaliser. prince william could barely watch. the tension was released on the final whistle. derby

com pletely released on the final whistle. derby completely gutted. aston villa jubilant. villa will be much richer. former european and english leg champions, will feel they belong in the premier league and that is where they will play their football next year. the cricket world cup is almost upon us — it all starts on thursday morning, when england play south africa at the oval. and that's where england signed off their preparations with a thumping warm—up win over afghanistan today. austin halewood was watching. a chance for one last loosen up before the world cup and a chance to once again justify selection. once again they did. england were on the game, with a bowl and into the field. the captain run out for 14, the start of an afghan collapse. four wickets in eight balls forjust two runs, it was not good to watch

other fans finally did have something to cheer about. 44 for nabi. the first ball for england for and that set the tone. a quick 550 from the opener with thejonny ba i rstow never too from the opener with thejonny bairstow never too far behind. —— a quick fire 50. england raced to a nine wicket victory. the weight now almost over and england have never been better prepared. —— wait. to the french open now, and johanna konta is into the second round, having lost her four previous first—round matches at roland garros. kyle edmund will have to wait till tomorrow to learn his fate — his match finely poised in the deciding set with jeremy chardy. our tennis correspondent russell fuller explains. 22 minutes plus nine in the evening with the fifth set deadlock at 5—5,

the tournament referee came onto the cod. before we saw him, we knew it was happening because you could hear the jeers was happening because you could hear thejeers and was happening because you could hear the jeers and whistles from the crowd. they were enjoying this fabulous match. the light was fading, they decided that was going to be it for the day. the crowd did not get to see the conclusion, instead they will come back at lunchtime tomorrow. edmund with a set—up. he lost the fourth set quite easily so he has done really well. bearin easily so he has done really well. bear in mind he has lost his last five matches on clay. he fought back to make sure they were five — five in the faith. and joanna konta, the wind must‘ve boosted her confidence. —— win. wind must‘ve boosted her confidence. -- win. her form was spectacular

coming up to the tournament. the favourite against the german qualifier. she won. there was some concern in the second set but the monkey is off her back and she will now play lauren davis from the united states. what about the other big names? serena williams lost the first set, a russian who beat maria sharapova. serena williams one set two and three. rough and adult winning easily but there was one casualty, caroline was that — caroline wozniacki's was knocked out in the first round. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. good morning back holiday weekend brought mixed fortunes. pleasantly

warm in greater london and drive for some a rush of showers around and told further north. this beautiful picture shows only 11 degrees in aberdeenshire and some of the showers were a real nuisance. this is going to sink steadily south over the next few days and push the warmer milder air back to the near continent. for those of you who have children of for the half—time break, a chilly affair over the next couple of days at least. showers around, chiefly down from the east coast on tuesday. sheltered western area seeing the best of the bright areas. temperatures disappointing. a chillier day on tuesday and that is going to lead to lighter winds and a chilly night, particularly across

eastern areas before a series of weather fronts pushing from the atla ntic weather fronts pushing from the atlantic and they threaten more rain eventually. central and eastern areas with clear skies and lighter winds. temperatures falling to single figures. further west, the cloud thickens and the rain gathers into the south—west, england and wales. uncertainty as to where the rain will be setting so keep abreast of the forecast on that because there is a potentialfor wet of the forecast on that because there is a potential for wet weather pushing into the south—west. it will wea ken pushing into the south—west. it will weaken as it moves across the country. some rain into northern ireland, north—west england and southern scotland as well but not a particularly warm day on wednesday. a lot of cloud around. i still 11 and 15 celsius. the good news is as the system pushes steadily northwards into scotland, that allows high pressure to build from the south and the winds of change direction to a south—westerly stock that has the potential to driving milder and across the country and at

the temperatures are set to rise again. after the brief blip in the feel of the weather through the middle of the week, it looks as though things will get sunnier and warmer with the exception of the far north.
