for the world cup. she is among 11 strathclyde sirens in the squad. 17—year—old emma barrie is the only uncapped player selected by head coach gail parata. that's all from sportsday. more in the next hour. up next on bbc news, it's the papers. we will see you soon. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the conservative commentator, tim montgomerie, and bonnie greer, who's a columnist, for the new european and playwright. welcome to both of you. laughter 7 7

transmit 77 welcome to both of you. laughter 7 7 transmit 7 7 capnext welcome to both of you. laughter 7 7 transmit 77 capnext 77 linebreak great to have you both with us. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in — and it's the presidential state visit that's stealing the show. trump bump, the front of the independent has gone with that photo of the queen and doanldtrump where it looks like they're fist bumping as he arrives for his three day state visit. meanwhile the guardian takes a slightly less positive stance on the us president's visit — highlighting what it describes as his twitter "attack" on london mayor sadiq khan. the i concentrating on the cancellation of private talks between donald trump and the prime minister. and the times is also leading with a political angle on the visit — it's reporting theresa may is set to take a tough line with the president over china. smiles all round — almost — on the front of the the metro, which shows the president and his wife melania
10:42 pm
at this evening's state banquet with the queen. and it's a sea of red on the ft, with the presidentjust visible amongst beefeaters outside buckingham palace. there really is only one show in town. let's start with the guarding and under resting guardian" tea and antipathy" was of tim, this is donald trump tweeting insults as the guardian would put it against sadiq khan the mayor of london. this was while he was still on air force one before he had even landed on british soil. a question though, should a president be calling mary of the host city a stone cold loser, is that good form? in a word know is i think the answer to that rebecca. but are any of us surprised7 think the answer to that rebecca. but are any of us surprised? no. if there hadn't been any controversy on his part, we would have been much more shocked that anything that he said. now, of course donald trump shouldn't have attacked the mayor in
10:43 pm
quite this way but i feel the context of this of course is that a day earlier on the front of the observer if you have been looking at the papers uncertain, you would've seen sadiq khan calling donald trump a 21st—century fascist. now, donald trump should have risen above that and... he was, he was in air force one. he was above it. it's one of the things that i think fascist, it communicates one of the horrors of political life in the last century. and fascism is on the march across europe and many people died as a result of it. to compare someone who is objectionable he many ways to a fascist was too much. i don't know if we want to get into a game of who started this but it was an ugly attack. i will let sadiq khan explain what he means. he's a lawyer and nose exacted what he means. i'm
10:44 pm
from chicago, another town truncates as well as the town was born in, new york city. —— another town from pates. yes, as tim says, this is not what the president of the united states should be doing. he should rise above that, but we know trump designed to rise above because he has to come backjust as he if he we re has to come backjust as he if he were selling real estate out of trump tower. that is how he is lowered this office. and we shouldn't actually take this as normal. he doesn't have to respond to anything anybody says about him but he does with his little thumbs. a clever tactic. because we know the images of this are playing well with his supporters at home and getting into these kinds of spats plays well with his supporters at home. his supporters at home with through the trump mythos. they want him actually to do this. he knows that they do. so all this pomp and circumstance
10:45 pm
and part of his whole sort of campaign fodder that he will be using in the coming months, just before we weave, my husband says and i agree "we have to pay all march to the trump taylor". the tailor is sunny for some he may be the best taylor on earth. if you look at the suit, this guy is a refrigerator. and what the taylor has done has caused her i to go and lengthen him and it is beautifully done. he has jowls that probably go down to his belly so what he has got our these wonderful high collars, he's got his ties done and the length of his jacket isjust ties done and the length of his jacket is just above ties done and the length of his jacket isjust above his knuckle. it's a beautiful thing, the suits on donald trump. they look ordinary but they are made to perfection side to give him that. is it ok to be discussing his suits7 laughter
10:46 pm
i think people take this for granted. again, what is a remarkable about him is that these suits look banal. but i should these are expensive pieces of clothing that he wears. and they are beautifully made andl wears. and they are beautifully made and i want to say that. everything, women should talk about when mistress... what about the queen if we are on the subject of fashion in bursa pretty colours7 we are on the subject of fashion in bursa pretty colours? she is smart. she has a black handbag. let's move back to the substance and turned to the metro. laughter it is important. star-spangled banquet and this is the state banquet and this is the state banquet tonight and we have heard a lot about the pump and the pageantry. bonnie i wanted to ask you before we move on, what is the american fascination with our royal family, can you give me a sense of
10:47 pm
why7 family, can you give me a sense of why? remembered that winston churchill desperately needed the united states on the side of the united states on the side of the united kingdom. the united states was neutral before pearl harbour and it was neutral a bit after pearl harbour as well. what winston churchill had to do because he was half american, his mum was american, what winston churchill had to do was find a mythos about this country in order for the united states, very isolationist, "we don't like foreign wars", to get involved. what is the mythos? the royal family. this monopod my father, and mother, especially the queen mother, a brain actress and working the whole idea of what the royal family is, what it is about. —— a brilliant actress was up is about. —— a brilliant actress was up and the present queen has had to clear the sun because the royal family isa clear the sun because the royal family is a linchpin in the special relationship. everything that we know as american has to go around the crown, that great netflix series, victoria, all of this and holds it all together. you have a
10:48 pm
sta ke holds it all together. you have a stake in the royalfamily holds it all together. you have a stake in the royal family now. we do if harry doesn't leave. maybe you know something we don't? know, i don't! the special relationship shifts. this is at its strength at the moment was her i think it is good. there is a lot of controversy about this visit. a lot of people thinking why are we honouring him. but this is a large point about the us presidency. we have a prime minister and a queen but they have a president who is also their head of state in america and 75 years ago, the americans and britain were at the americans and britain were at the forefront of perhaps the most important existential conflict in world history. and ifelt the speeches at the banquet were about, the two heads of state of two nations remembering the enormous
10:49 pm
sacrifices that a lot of young american and british people and from other parts of the world as well but especially this relationship with the world family, winston churchill... and that was for those people wayjeremy corbyn who snubbed tonight, that was their mistake i think. this is in primary about theresa may or borisjohnson or nigel farage or donald trump was at this is about two nations with a very special bond in history with an incredibly important part of our history together that have been 75 yea rs history together that have been 75 years ago. interesting, trump, he could be going next year. the relationship between two countries will go on. might wait father was a pa rt of will go on. might wait father was a part of this indeed a part of this d—day push. my uncle and brother—in—law is a vietnam vet, my brother—in—law is a vietnam vet, my brother is an air force vet, nato, i have a nephew in the surface —— service was i wishjeremy had been there and the reason is to remind that throngs that this president is
10:50 pm
a draft dodger and not even to say it may be in that group that way i have just said it, but i would love jerry to say, "we are here for the sacrifices that were made, but we also need to remember this is the first president of the united states who refused to serve the united states of america". and that is a very important thing to say. it's important for us in britain to understand that, that he has refused five times to serve. so, all of these ironies and anomalies, i wish jeremy had been there for some he would not have set up because he would not have set up because he would not have been able to say it. but i think his presence and coming there would have been very important thing to say. i'm sure he would not have the authority to say that. and he would not have setup. butjeremy is the first generation of men in this country who did not have to serve and it would have been an interesting thing for him to be there representing those of us who
10:51 pm
are against wars. can ijust ask there representing those of us who are against wars. can i just ask one of you before we move on tojeremy corbyn perhaps in more detail, do you think donald trump should not have come? this is the 75th anniversary of d—day. and as tim was saying as i am saying, my father was pa rt of saying as i am saying, my father was part of this push. he is not here and were but he would have wanted the president of the united states to bea the president of the united states to be a part of this, but he also would've said also know who is in the office right now. it is about the office right now. it is about the presidency but also understand who is in office at this point is. tim let's move onto the telegraph now. the picture from tonight's backward at buckingham palace but the headline" corbin to eat protests against rome" and as you have been saying, jeremy corbyn was not at this dinner tonight, the focus is away from the pump and onto the politics. —— corbin leading the protests against trump. bonnie makes a very good point about what he
10:52 pm
could have represented at this they could. he has a record of attending state bank was in the past when we had the chinese premier over here. and it's this stinking hypocrisy that i thinkjeremy corbyn is difficult of that this very moment in china, we have muslims being imprisoned in detention camps, chinese minority muslims, being forced to not be able to observe ramadan, reports emerging over the weekend there even being forced to eat. pork and otherfood weekend there even being forced to eat. pork and other food that is not which in it for them. and there seems to be a willingness among some on the left partly i think driven by extreme anti—americanism to judge america much more harshly than countries like china. is in that because he is the head of the free world that would be an argument but if you want to look at where the greatest human abuse is... you would be under the impression from the way jeremy corbyn talks with that they would be in the united states
10:53 pm
america. they are not because they are happening in china, and the streets of one did were not full of left—wing streets of one did were not full of left—wi ng protesters streets of one did were not full of left—wing protesters when xi jinping visited britain and i believe there isa visited britain and i believe there is a terrible double standard here. i will not go where tim just went because i don't agree with that completely, but i would say this. again to say what i said at the beginning, i wish he had again to say what i said at the beginning, iwish he had been again to say what i said at the beginning, i wish he had been there. i think he would've been a symbol and an interesting thing. and the other thing i want to say is the other thing i want to say is the other reason i want him to there is jeremy corbyn is the leader of the opposition. he is notjust a leader of the labour party. he is the other pa rt of of the labour party. he is the other part of the british constitution. and we need him in these places... at the banquet? we need him in these places for not only what he represents as a person and his party, he represents the other side of the british constitution. and the president of the united states needs to see that. we have a parliament that has a constitution. we have an
10:54 pm
opposition. we pay the opposition. in the opposition needs to be there for this man to see that there is one. i would for this man to see that there is one. iwould have for this man to see that there is one. i would have loved jeremy to be there. he stands on its principles and his background and that's why a lot of people love him and i totally respect that, but i wish he had been there tonight. interesting. let's finish off for now with the sun. again the same picture but this interesting headline "harry gets the hump over trump" and ten this is prince harry who we think president trump had called his wife meghan markle nasty. there is an irony about this that there is an american member of the royal family and she is the one member that isn't meeting the american president to stop it of course, she made some... she made some remarks about trump a couple of yea rs some remarks about trump a couple of years ago on, mary to say the least. and yet again, it's back to where we started. a president who dignify the office that he holds in the greater
10:55 pm
way of trump would have risen about this but of course if your wife is attacked as nessie by someone who is supposedly as elevated as president trump, you are going to be unhappy. of course prince harry had a very good relationship with barack obama. i think on the radio for pots our programme, there was the interview from them. and they did the invictus games together for disabled form is for serviceman. but to reiterate what he was saying, you rise above this. this is a past life in which she said what she said. she's now a memberof the she said what she said. she's now a member of the royal family and she is on maternity leave with her first child. and for him to come out and make a statement like that, and he did say it so he cannot lie about it, he said it, it is again another notch down on the great office of state that he holds. he has no business saying that about her and prince harry is absolute correct to be outraged if he is about it. he
10:56 pm
did not go to the state banquet which was interesting. he is correct to be outraged about her. trump has no business saying that. he insults the queen as well. this was about the queen as well. this was about the mother of one of her great—grandchildren as well. this is trump being trump and a lot of people love it unfortunately. we have to leave it there for now. that's it for the papers this hour. maybe not! laughter tim and bonnie will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers, and 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 bb.co.uk forward slash papers. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to tim and bonnie. we'll all be back in just over half
10:57 pm
an hourfrom now, but the moment, goodbye. hello there. we saw a top temperature 29 celsius in norfolk on sunday, hello there. we saw a top temperature 29 celsius in norfolk on sunday, making this the highest temperature of the year so far across the uk. now it's all changed, this week it is looking a lot more unsettled thanks to low pressure systems, there will be some sunshine around but also some pretty heavy rain in places, the good news for farmers and for growers, it will feel on the cool side as well for this atlantic air influence. we've lost the deep red colours and replaced it with something fresher for monday, blustery showers, windier in the north thanks to this low pressure system but as we head through monday night and tuesday morning, we look to the southwest and the city of low pressure that will move up into wales in the southwest of england. but for many places tonight, it will be largely dry, some lengthy clear spells further north, a few showers for western scotland, but this low pressure will bring some winter weather to wales in the southwest with the temperatures rising up little bit as the breeze picks up too. so for tuesday morning,
10:58 pm
we start off with some sunshine across the north and the east, but this rain across the southwest will spill northwards into much of western england, wales and eventually central southern scotland and northern ireland. we could see a few heavy showers affecting the far southeast. probably the best of the dry and bright weather will be the far north of scotland, but cool here and may be the southeast, where we could nudge temperatures up to the 20 or 21 celsius mark. as we go through tuesday night into wednesday, low pressure on top the country, bringing in cloudy day with outbreaks of rain for much of scotland, but also this weather front over the near constant could just flow over the southeast corner and perhaps bring some heavy thundery rain there, bit of uncertainty to the westward extent of this. elsewhere, sunny spells a few heavy showers around, and in the sunshine we could make around 19 to 20 degrees, but cooler further north with that rain. as we head on into thursday, this feature could run up the eastern side of the country to bring some heavy, maybe thundery rain here and by thursday daytime, could bring quite a wet day for parts of scotland. further south, some sunshine, fairly light winds will be in between weather systems,
10:59 pm
so we could see a scattering of heavy, may be, thundery downpours. those temperatures on the cool side of year, 13 to around 17 or 18 in the south. it remains unsettled to end the week and into the start of the weekend, with further rain or showers and heavy, possibly thundery rain, affecting southern and eastern parts of the country.
11:00 pm
this is bbc news. i'm rebecca jones. the headlines at 11:00: on the first day of his visit to the uk, president trump is welcomed by the queen at a state banquet, here at buckingham palace. a day of pomp began with the president inspecting a guard of honour on the lawn at buckingham palace. but there was controversy this morning, when, moments after touching down, mr trump called the mayor of london, sadiq khan "a stone—cold loser" after mr khan said he didn't agree with the visit. despite being kept well away from the presidential motorcade all day, protestors say they'll make their voices heard,
