hazy hello this is bbc news, with ben brown. the headlines. in the conservative leadership race, michael gove says he wants to replace vat with a ‘lower, simpler, sales tax' if he becomes prime minister. meanwhile, boris johnson says he would not pay britain's £39bn brexit ‘divorce‘ bill until better terms are agreed for the uk to leave. thousands of people call for large ships to be banned

from venice's main canal, days after a cruiseliner crashed into a tourist boat. england and scotland fans descend on the south of france, as the two teams prepare to go head—to—head in the women's world cup. before the papers, sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. how is the way that sally? the weather is fine now. look where we are. we are in the port of nice. it is glorious. that is as close as we will get to a superyacht. many fans

arrived in nice yesterday. plenty more have arrived this morning for the big game tonight. let's have a chat to some fans. good morning everyone! cheering starting with the scotland fans. you both play football. who are you most looking forward to seeing tonight?” ama looking forward to seeing tonight?” am a huge fan of erin cuthbert. i play in the same position as her. what about you ? play in the same position as her. what about you? i am looking forward to seeing the girls play. hopefully putting the experience to how we play one day. how different does it feel the same around ? play one day. how different does it feel the same around? compared to the euro is lasting. is this a big deal? i think we have progressed since last time. it was a 6—0 thrashing we got last time. but we

will make it tougher for england at this time. i will take you along here, can you spot the england fans? quite warm? pretty hot i must admit. are you staying in this outfit all day? all day. england go into less as favourites. does that add a layer of pressure that might be tricky for them to handle? i think it adds pressure but they have performed really well this year. i think that they are ready to win it. any predictions for snake? for tonight as mike for tonight you cycled from paris. how did that go? beautiful french countryside, it has been great. let's hear from the

managers of both teams. for a scottish team to play in a world cup for over two decades, our journey so far has been fantastic, and we are playing against a formidable england team who are ranked third in the world, and part of the reason phil neville took the job is to win the world cup. it is going to be a tough task but one that we are really looking forward to. we probably have one of the most difficult games in the first round, because they are players we have a lot of respect for, players that know each other, a really difficult game for us. it is important to get off to a good start and to keep building the confidence and belief we have, and grow into the competition. the world's second ranked side germany were far from their best in their opening match, just edging past

china in rennes, thanks to teenager giulia gwinn, who scored the only goal of her game, in herfirst competitive appearance. spain came back from a goal down to beat south africa 3—1 in their opening game, scoring two penalties before lucia garcia sealed it. norway scored three first—half goals to beat nigeria in reims, a fairly straight—forward opener for the 1995 world champions. away from the world cup, steve clarke's reign as scotland men's head coach got off to a dramatic start, with a 2—1 win over cyprus in their euro 2020 qualifier. oliver burke scored the winnerjust three minutes from time at hampden, a much—needed win that keeps them joint second in their group. it's three wins out of three for northern ireland, who came from a goal down to win 2—1 in estonia, josh magennis with a late winner.

but wales lost 2—1 to the world cup finalists croatia in osijek they're now out of the automatic qualfication places going into their match against hungary in budapest on tuesday. we didn't really play well. two poor goals we gave away. and so, yeah, disappointed. because when you don't play like you can do, and still create chances against this top team, you have got to be disappointed. it's the game that no—one wants to play, the third place play—off, but after losing their nations league semi—final, england face switzerland in portugal later, aiming to get something out of it. we've got thousands of fans here and we need to make sure our performance gives them something back. we need to finish the season in the right manner, having had a very good season. and every time we take the field

we are learning things about the players and learning things about how we need to play and how we need to improve, so for us it is an important match. england are back on track at the cricket world cup after a comfortable victory over bangladesh in cardiff. jason roy smashed his way to a brilliant 153, as they posted 386 — their highest ever world cup total. and bangladesh never really threatened, england winning by 106 runs. i thought jason and johnny were outstanding. they assessed conditions well. waited for the bad ball. waited for themselves to impose themselves on the innings. 128 is considerable stand at the top of the order. and it's three wins from three for new zealand. they beat afghanistan by seven wickets at taunton.

australia's ashleigh barty said returning to tennis was the best decision she'd made after taking her first grand slam title. she beat marketa vondrousova in straight sets to win the french open — barty took a two—year break in 2014 to play professional cricket. dominic thiem beat world number one novak djokovic in a match that started on friday and was interrupted by bad weather three times. thiem faces another tough match today, he plays rafael nadal in the final. and ferrari's sebastian vettel edged out lewis hamilton's mercedes to take pole for today's canadian grand prix. it's only the second time in seven races that mercedes have been beaten to pole position. warrington closed the gap on super league leaders st helens with a crushing 34—4 win over catalans dragons. amongst the wolves‘ scorers

was bryson goodwin, who went over for his 100th career try. that's all for now, i'll be back at 10:15. hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are the features writer for the independent james rampton, and the political commentatorjames millar. lets take a look at the front pages. the character of michael gove is called into question on the mail on sunday. it says mr gove wrote articles calling for tougher punishments for drug users, despite himself taking cocaine at the time. the observer says mr gove is battling to keep his leadership

campaign alive following his cocaine admission. michael gove policy pledge is on the front of the sunday telegraph. it says he'll scrap vat for a simpler alternative. boris johnson is the focus on the sunday times. he says he would withhold the £39 billion divorce bill, until he secured a better brexit deal. meanwhile the sunday express has an interview with foreign secretaryjeremy hunt, who vows to get britain walking tall again, if he was to become pm. and the daily star leads on the news that the leyton orient manager and former tottenham defender, justin edinburgh, has died at the age of 49. michael gove dominating the front pages. let's start off with this james. not good reading? and i will

be questioning him.” james. not good reading? and i will be questioning him. i think andrew isa be questioning him. i think andrew is a better politicaljournalist than i am. the story comes with heavy health warnings from the lawyers. the allegation is that the night that the paper was publishing an article in which she slated middle—class professionals who took drugs, he was hosting a party at which people were allegedly, openly taking cooking. —— cocaine. if this is true, it is huge hypocrisy. it is a very tight race, there are lots of competing factions. allegations of dirty tricks going on behind the scenes. and this is a story which, if it continues to run, she could

drop it or his campaign. —— torpedo his campaign. we have reprinted info the article he printed wrote at the time. it is a hell of a hit job. we have gone to town. it landed yesterday. they are kicking him hard. it is classic. it is great may on sunday stuff. a cocaine fuelled party. a party fuelled by cocaine. there is a quote, i was surprised how louche the party was. but it goes to the heart of the brexits

debate in some ways. it is the idea of the elite taking drugs, having a high old time. there is a great quote. about the hoi polloi, the unnamed source, it seemed to be one set of rules for the elite and one set of rules for the elite and one set of rules for the elite and one set of rules for hoi polloi like us. doesn't that speak to the brexits debate? 0ne doesn't that speak to the brexits debate? one set of rules for one group and one set for the other. but gove on the side of the anti—elite forces during the brexits debate. i know someone as suggesting he is pa rt of know someone as suggesting he is part of the elite. a lot of suggestion and discussion about where the story has come from and white has been published at this point. which the observer have the same headline. the picture of him

coming back from his regularjog. the question is, in the end, literally matter? will count against him in the tory leadership contest? when half a dozen of the contenders have admitted to taking drugs. thanks to this revelation, six of them have come out and said they have taken some form of drug in the past. boris johnson more or less said it would have i got news for you. typically he obfuscated it with jokes. icing sugar. other people have spoken that cannabis and so on. so were literally matter? thanks a matter —— the thing that matters is constituency who will be voting for this. look at the demographic. the

average age, 57, predominantly white, predominantly white, not based in london, but in the south—east. very brexits, very socially conservative. and they may be offended by this. the nec as the elite sense of entitlement. that they can do things the little people can't do. they can get away with things that hoi polloi can't possibly manage. i think this goes back to the classic issue of drugs policy. politicians think don't do drugs, we did it but you shouldn't. and if you do you'll to jail. we probably need to have a much wider discussion about drugs policy in this country. and yet, as you see, the voters out there. tory party members. won't like the fact that current policy is don't do drugs.

and yet others empower have done it and it doesn't seem to have damaged them, saying it is ok. but for a lot of people, it does. dogs are a massive effect. not necessarily in terms of people taking them, but the crime gangs, those don't affect michael gove. there is an issue with cou nty michael gove. there is an issue with county lines gangs getting kids to run drugs around the country. and when the get caught go to jail for a very long time. there is a wider issue about the drugs policy that this brings to light but we are not talking about it because it is our tory party soap opera. the papers are having great fun. some of the puns. the manner‘s front page. racer pm to pot. another of the papers talks about the drugs cabinet. that

is the mirror. they have gone to town and gone for it and i think thatis town and gone for it and i think that is a great headline. i'd not endorse the spectra but they have done a mock—up of one of the candidates smoking at camberwell carrot as they in with neil and i ——. they have had fun with it. they have underlined the hypocrisy of it all. the fact it is ok for them but not other people. this is an interesting point. nigella lawson was banned from travelling to the us when she admitted cocaine use. will the same applied to michael gove if he becomes prey minister, will he be banned because that is not allowed in the us. i think he may be given

an exemption. but we should be allowed to interview him again? he must have light on his previous forms which says you have to admit to any drug activities in your past. he must have said no. then. it makes you nostalgic for when the most naughty thing a premise was won through a field of wheat. gerry carmen ——jeremy through a field of wheat. gerry carmen —— jeremy corbyn admitted to drinking a cannabis not trick. —— milkshake. stealing it back to the question of policy and vat on sales tax. this is much more serious. our

press holding our candidates to account. michael gove seen he will replace account. michael gove seen he will re pla ce vat account. michael gove seen he will replace vat with the mystery tax. he gets away with, he wants to be a minister. he will say he will scrap that. but we are playing along with a soap opera rather than asking the questions. he is talking about scrapping h two —— hsz. i wonder if the fact he is setting out an economic policy suggests gove is thinking, i may still be chancellor stop even if this drugs thing has

scrapped my chances for a prime minister. meanwhile boris johnson has kept a low profile by his standards. in the last few weeks. suddenly, he has in a big interview in the sunday times in which he has said he would not the fattening billion pound divorce bill. 39 billion. i thinkjohnson is guilty of something worse than gove. claiming that you can withhold that money and it would have no impact except forced the eu to bow to our demands. he is suggesting scrapping the backstop. that is the nub of contention between us and the eu. you can't magic it away. he is living in the land of unicorns and self—delusion. he is also saying we

should change the brexit negotiating team. negotiations are over. the eu has said it will not be new renegotiated. what part of that does not understand ? it renegotiated. what part of that does not understand? it infuriates me that he is saying he could do a betterjob. he have done. but that job is over. he was there! he would argue that a tougher line with europe might bring better results. it is total fantasy in order to lower the brexit constituency and to me it is fantasy politics. it is outrageous! after nonsense. i will be full the money he says, but we are not paying the money until an exit deal is past and that has not happened. so the money is ours in the sense that my money is nine until i give it to the man i'm buying a coffee from. you get something if you spend it. he is still the frontrunner. as you likely to win? yes. he will but it is still

outrageous. one of the questions asked is why do you want to be prey minister? he says because i think i can win. he says i can beat corbyn and the liberal democrats. he is riding a tide of anger about the fa ct riding a tide of anger about the fact that a lot of people voted to leave the european union and three yea rs later we have leave the european union and three years later we have not left. he is tapping into that. i don't believe he isa tapping into that. i don't believe he is a man of principle, i think he is just seeing whatever he thinks will win him votes. an interesting revelation a few weeks ago when another mp asked him why do you want thisjob? he another mp asked him why do you want this job? he said another mp asked him why do you want thisjob? he said i want it, i want it, i want it. it is like mark twain said, the person who wants to be in the white house shouldn't be in the white house. he has no policies except winning. he should have some principles that he stands on. that

enough on boris johnson. principles that he stands on. that enough on borisjohnson. a couple of other stories. there are other things going on, this is one of the few studies on the front page which i think is very important. 38 university staff have been sacked since 2015 for claims of sexual harassment or have resigned. is that a good thing, or a bad thing? a discussion they are to be had. clearly it is a good thing it has been taken seriously. it was in 2016 when the me to move started. as with all sexual crimes, there is an issue of power. an university that is an issue of power between the students and the teachers. the lecturers have and the teachers. the lecturers have a certain amount of power and the students have less. that is when you have the environment where there can be problems. it is good it is being

handled. is it being handled enough? i think there is a question to be asked about that. 58 members of staff doesn't seem a lot into years and given how many students and universities there are. lets end up with lots of pictures in the papers about tripping the colour. lovely pictures. —— trooping the colours. a lot of people pointing out meghan marco was there and not for the donald trump. one royal commentator says being on maternity leave was a and excuse. and she is not a fan of

donald trump. that is to or true, she has been vocal in a fan. i think there is a very picture of a guardsman who fell off his horse. so hot was it. the little details they have discovered. the meticulous coverage. meghan is waiting third ring which is apparently at an eternity ring given to new mothers. iam eternity ring given to new mothers. i am struggling to care that much. but it's true that royal coverage a lwa ys but it's true that royal coverage always boosts circulation. three can talk about the third ring as if it's the most important thing in the world and people will buy it. hears the same outfit as prince harry did in 1986. the royals aren't short of cash and yet they have a slightly thrifty streak to them. which is a

good thing! nothing wrong with it. use the tea bag three times icy. great to have you both. james and james. that is all. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website, at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, james and james. goodbye. it has been a sunny sunday so far, and we might see some showers developing in the south—west. after a beautiful start in cornwall, we could see some showers developing across south—west england and wales. we have seen some showers throughout the morning

and in northern ireland and scotland, some with the odd rumble of thunder. as we go through the remainder of the day, sunshine turning hazy in the south—east, showers may develop and more frequently in wales. you should stay fine and dry, scattered showers continuing for northern ireland. we can't rule out the odd rumble of thunder. in terms of the feel of things, lighter wind than yesterday and with a little bit more sunshine, a degree or so up, with highs of 19—20 in the south—east. the story will change as we move through sunday night into monday, with this area of low pressure developing and it will stay with us for the next couple of days. on top of that, we will drive in more of a north—easterly flow, so it will feel cooler, particularly in the rain, with the heat staying in eastern europe. that means that on monday morning, we could start off grey and wet across the south—east, stretching up to east anglia, lincolnshire and east yorkshire.

that rain will drift its way westwards as well, as we go through the day. on monday, the better chance of seeing the dry and bright where there will be in the north and west. with some sunshine coming through, we could see highs of 18 celsius. under the cloud and rain, only 13—111. that rain will stay with us on monday and tuesday across eastern england, we could see as much as 60 millimetres of rain in places, that is a lot of rain in a short space of time over very dry land, so it could cause some issues. wet weather will continue to be an issue with pulses of heavier rain moving on from the near continent across east anglia, the midlands and wales, and yet again, on tuesday, the best of the dry weather will be further north. it will feel cold, particularly on those exposed east coasts due to the wind. that low pressure will move its way north, taking the rain into scotland and northern ireland by the middle part of the week.
