they've played before they played in rome about three weeks ago, it was a three set matches so she knows is a battle. she looked to me like she was getting nervous in her quarterfinal trying to close out the match, maybe she hasn't got a lot of grand slam experience and you know eve ryo ne grand slam experience and you know everyone wants to win a grand slam that's site will remember floyd as a player does not a a ranking, you are for the rest of your life celebrating that, it's a great achievement, so for both players it's going to be tough, but i believe my cat well struggle a bit more. and if she reaches a final she read she has the first british woman to do so, i worry, 1977, but there you go. it's going to be an amazing

match. will be were playing in the 80s and both of the top ten, it was a fabulous time, i never thought all these years later, i would be sitting here at the last person to do that. well done, it's wonderful finally we have someone who can compete at the very end of grand slam titles because it's been missing, look how much fun we've had with andy over the years. especially heading into wimbledon. the time it's taken for her to get to that is a testa m e nt it's taken for her to get to that is a testament to your achievements and it's great to see it. it's just wonderful and ijust it's great to see it. it's just wonderful and i just hope it's great to see it. it's just wonderful and ijust hope she continues to have that mental strength that she is shown in her previous match —— notjust so that like to her stoplight what in achieving that achievement it would be. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the telegraph's economics and trade correspondent, anna isaac, and the broadcaster and author, john kampfner. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. let's bring you up—to—date did to the daily mirror, has a full page on the daily mirror, has a full page on the da commemorations. if a six—year—old boy standing next to the batter and the boy is wearing the batter and the boy is wearing the metals that belonged to his great uncle and he's making a new friend. the financial times lead on teresa mays rallied philip hammond,

she tried to put more money into schools and colleges as a farewell gift. another picture to the da vetera n gift. another picture to the da veteran with the young man with the caption, they fought for our futures. he did commemorations on the front of the daily telegraph, lovely picture of one elderly vetera n lovely picture of one elderly veteran being kissed from both sides and there is also a headline saying borisjohnson is and there is also a headline saying boris johnson is only and there is also a headline saying borisjohnson is only tory in the newspapers view the booted as party leader taking a nigel farage as the fight for voters. finally guardian leads to a declining number of women and ethnic minority people at the top of the nhs. let's start with that daily mail front page because if the photo that appears in a number of papers, the daily mirror as well, the lovely image of a little boy wearing his great uncle's medals as tribute to him, and he happened to meet at this veteran

here and it's just a very moving picture, although you are not that impressed with the weights presented. i think it's media inside baseball, i think the mayor is using the picture better than this one which is crowded with words but as you say a picture says a thousand words, and if it's an incredibly moving picture, and might be something that teresa mae said in her speech when she talked about the greatest generation, not a great generation, whatever, but the superlative, and i often thought that everybody born after the war, particularly after the end of the immediate postwar hardships, like the end of rationing in that particular difficult period afterwards, we have all had it. you know, people born before me and after me, just so easy. compared to

this generation and jet that first war water generation, but are you doing the dramatic invasion on the beaches of normandy or you redoing any of the many otherjobs and assignments vital to the work, they we re assignments vital to the work, they were all equally vital stoplight i does listening during the radio there was one veteran who worked with code breaking and was saying she still does not know stoplight she still does not know stoplight she says i did not know how many lives i saved and i also don't know how many lives stoplight i lost because of not breaking the code and this is the stuff you carry with you and you like to deal with that process. i think she's the same woman who lost to fiancees. it's that kind of abstract human cost of the type to he had lots of women working in those supportive roles, lots of them working from underground, and that physical manoeuvre of the massive fleet of

boats that went over for a dba, not being able to understand the boats to that effectively mapping them, so all of those back office roles, really challenging psychologically to them especially when they were dealing with that and in secrecy, what's wonderful that picture and it makes is that communicates youth, because they're so used to seeing older men at memorials, and we forget they were teenagers these we re forget they were teenagers these were teenagers getting off both into the sea and the comrades drowning around them to try and get to shore. and they had been kept up three days, 19 euros, one of them was on the radio saying he never had a girlfriend, communicating the youth, i think that's at the picture does so i think that's at the picture does so well, these were young very young man in. i think people were thinking what they did when they were 19. there's also this thing about the difficulty that you have a mailing

that you survived. many of your friends and comrades did not and that since you carry that with you. from an early age especially to a very old age as well. and as you say, if the biggest thing that defines your life takes place so young and so early in her life, it's quite difficult stoplight also another lovely picture on the front of the telegraph. this is david edwards. it's nice, was lovely about both of the pictures and this one as well it's a communicating life and pleasure and enjoyment in what it was all about really fundamentally in many ways was to try and sort of try to get back back and reclaim it and to sell —— celebrate survival of these people they had rich lives. and to sell —— celebrate survival of these people they had rich liveslj love the scarf he is wearing they put that around them stop while. you

got a fence with some of the vetera ns, got a fence with some of the veterans, this whole commemoration has put a spring into people step. for many positive reasons not least of which is of course the opportunity to talk about the friends they lost and the things they saw, that poignant speech from they saw, that poignant speech from the better end this afternoon saying the better end this afternoon saying the image of this estate with pen and it'll never be able to forget the image of a man lying on his face in the water being shot and he said he can't get that out of his mind is a touching on that, picture on the front of the guardian captured the fa ct front of the guardian captured the fact that today for many of those and yesterday as well, it's not on the commemoration or celebration, it's also immensely poignant time. for many of them, it was the first time they had been back for the first time in a long time they have been back. it was also difficult if you're caring with yourself, as having been a private in the armed

forces all that time ago, to be also pa rt forces all that time ago, to be also part of a very polished political and grand event, which is quite alien to you because you've led an ordinary life and yet is suddenly a quite an old age at a very great age, or thrust into the limelight. me being embraced by the world leaders right now. you are having to express grief publicly and in a collective way with eli ascher comrades in a way you will get a chance to do again. also a generation unlike what i call post—diana generation, which emotes quite easily, this is a generation that never did that and it was all about restraint in not showing how you felt, so yeah stoplight

especially in a time when we did not know how to treat ptsd and it was a vetera n know how to treat ptsd and it was a veteran today saying stoplight it took him 20 years that i stop having nightmares it was only when he went back to normandy and 64 that almost triggered him because he went back and it was normal and it was every day life academy eight slotted back that terrible memory into proper place in the whole span of time, which was terrible but normal followed. interesting you mention that because the independent has this great photograph of president macron and i'll chop. and macron was the one who tried to beat the mics by being his best mate for a while, idid not by being his best mate for a while, i did not work out obviously it started well, and then it went pear—shaped and i was struck not by the british press but in my general

research, i'll he had a quick rummage around european news media and french and german websites, domain german weekly magazine today had a very interesting piece basically saying that macron and angela merkel, who was there but not eve ryo ne angela merkel, who was there but not everyone is pleasure but people saw the importance of her being there is absolutely delight, and theresa may and whenever i last accessed prime minister, basically trying to work out in advance how to work out to give donald trump at the most basic rudimentary bait history lesson with a key message, which was around you only get things done if you act together and it was noting that in the same message which wasn't coordinated but you never know. this photo is key because these two

people are going to define the next stage of the trade were because everyone plays once he says the china or come to some sort of hiatus event, he will look towards europe and try and use carrots to leverage concessions out of those, said this macron relationship is going to be so decisive when it comes to the fate of the world economy in the next two years. and i think it's quite telling to see that body language ship every time. you mention the trade wire, and the focus shifting, do you get the sense we are moving toward some kind of resolution or basically a break between china and the united states on the issue? i think what we will have his further divergence at east and west with your being picky in the middle and japan, and it's going to get deeply uncomfortable. and i think you touched on the queen, championing does postwar institutions like world trade organisation, which trump caused

catastrophe, as being a reason we had this hard—won peace because trade war leads to hot war and it starts with economics. and the whole issue of protectionism and free trade not playing a small part. and merkel, at some point between now and 2022 may be sooner rather than later, she is going to go, her chosen successor with a long name usually also known as a kk, everybody assume she's going to be competent, but she's not going to be the big figure of europe as merkel has been partly because she's just so dogged and strong but also she's been around long time. this is macron opportunity to step in to that bridge. let's look at the ft, interesting story and a surprise because it's a faith people may not

know, but she's a big player and she is being touted for bigger things that i'm going tojohn the list. this is sharon white who is about to ta ke this is sharon white who is about to take the house edge on the list, really tough time for retailers up and on the country, she was on everyone's favourite list for being governor of the bank of england, she was seen as someone governor of the bank of england, she was seen as someone that had academic experience and worked in the treasury she was a strong option and writing off calm and very respected as a highly competent, she would be the they have gone with someone with a knotin they have gone with someone with a knot in a typical salary. you don't have a basement full of gold. you

get a good staff discount. i think it will be really interesting to see how she will tackle it. she is well liked as a manager. uk car industry is having a bad time. what did you make of that announcement? we had the confirmation from afforded today that about 1500 jobs will go in south wales. the whole uk economy, consumer spending, manufacturing, is ina consumer spending, manufacturing, is in a state of flux. we will talk more about this in our second paper review.
