11:30 pm
the picture released on father's day of the duke and duchess of sussex's son archie, as prince harry celebrates being a dad. so, the conservative leadership contest makes most of tomorrow's front pages. it isa it is a £27 billion push on spend and, sorry, not million. can ijust ask you to sit forward a little bit john. your light is a little off. you were in the dark. that is no good at all. the times. that's where we will start. leaders clash over a nodal brexit. suggestion still being made by dominic sajid —— raab is that he may not let parliament said. still determined to make plain that he wants this over and done with by
11:31 pm
october 31, no arguments. he wants this over and done with by october31, no arguments. he he wants this over and done with by october 31, no arguments. he wants to appeal to the hardliners in his party and the 160000 and hope that that woos them his ways. he was taken to task by a couple of his contenders, not the least rory stewart who i thought emerged as the most likeable, certainly. the audience like tim. he got a better round of applause than anybody else for anything he said. round of applause than anybody else foranything he said. he round of applause than anybody else for anything he said. he said the parliament is not just for anything he said. he said the parliament is notjust the welding. you are trashing democracy, that was another thing he said. they said that if you tried to do it like that, it have legislature in the next door and you cannot treat parliament like that. matt hancock says he will back borisjohnson to
11:32 pm
be next prime minister but he would had a different agenda. matt hancock decided on friday, i believe, that he would not get much further in this. he got enough votes to get through to this round but he thought he would quit while he was ahead, so to speak. he was presenting himself asa to speak. he was presenting himself as a moderniser, a compromiser on brexit but he obviously wants a job in the next tory cabinet and so he is basically supporting boris johnson who is currently the clear front runner. the daily mirror has chicken boris. tells about the chicken. you are familiar with this. iam.i chicken. you are familiar with this. i am. i have seen the world through the eyes of the chicken. the chicken, by the way, the daily mirror chicken follows boris. and also followed david cameron when he
11:33 pm
did not attend televised debates. we have resurrected the chicken because borisjohnson has have resurrected the chicken because boris johnson has been have resurrected the chicken because borisjohnson has been hiding away from scrutiny. he managed to dodge this debate and he is also not coming to the hustings that the lobby journalists coming to the hustings that the lobbyjournalists are having tomorrow. he is basically been locked away somewhere so he cannot make any gaffes. i think it is pathetic. i remember at a tory party conference, david cameron, his first one. on the opening day he said on that we should congratulate ourselves because they got the tuesday without boris johnson putting a foot wrong. boris johnson is saying we have fast internet i2025. promising to end the digital divide. i do not wish to be critical but the daily telegraph on a monday morning is becoming the daily boris.
11:34 pm
but it regurgitates it: on the front page week after week after week. they pay him so much money that they need to squeeze the value out.” think it is now £275,000. and here it is promising, saying it is crazy we do not have fast wideband all over the country. he promises to put right the laughably unambitious plans of the current government.” think it is interesting that he talks about this moral mission to unite brexit britain. here is somebody who has been using divisive and inflammatory language to then talk about bringing people together. the internet thing is interesting because, you know, looking at the demographics of the tory membership there are many people living in rural areas and this will be a concern. rural areas and this will be a concern. but he is another one who makes these criticisms of the government not being ambitious enough as if he has not been in government. listen to all of them
11:35 pm
tonight, and they make it sound like they had nothing at all to do with it. it is difficult to set out a still without doing that. now, secret talks with nigel farage? i read this without registering that talking about tory party donors not managers. tory party donors not managers. tory party donors not managers. tory party donors who are hatching a plot to do party donors who are hatching a plot todoa party donors who are hatching a plot to do a deal with the brexit party whereby the brexit people, the brexit party will not stand against tory brexiteers. a devilishly level plan. 21% of the vote for the tories
11:36 pm
in the previous election. way, they can covet the tories waited whether oi’ can covet the tories waited whether or not this gets approved by the hierarchy... any kind of electoral pa ct hierarchy... any kind of electoral pact has proved to be difficult, evenin pact has proved to be difficult, even in recent times. change uk, the liberal democrats, one of those parties that may be natural compromises. for the conservative party to enter into an electoral pa ct party to enter into an electoral pact with the brexit party, it would be such a big step for them to take... it will be interesting to see if the brexit party's lead holds. it seems to held up fairly well since the eu elections but as time goes on i think that will become tricky because they are a one policy party. if he becomes the man, he said he will talk to nigel farage. nigel farage does want to be involved in talks with the eu posts
11:37 pm
and pro—brexit. let's look at the independent. theresa may looks to use for a lasting legacy. theresa may is desperately trying to have any legacy that is not the brexit shambles. which i think is fairly wishful thinking given that predicament the country is in considering the fact that there has been very little governing going on aside from brexit wrangling. she is talking about several different proposals and says that she wants £27 billion spending on education. it does not say that she has got that money. so all they are talking about is measures to protect people 's mental health but drilling down into those, a lot of it is getting teachers to do more of my teachers who are already under pressure. that does not seem to be any more funding. it was funding that was already announced last year in that much touted pot of money for the nhs. so if this is her dying throes
11:38 pm
of her premiership trying to be remembered for something else, it does seem week. you can't start too much that is new because you don't have a lot of parliamentary time. the daily mail. an exclusive, cannabis laws up in smoke sparking fears that the drugs been artificially legalised. an interesting story. i imagine the daily mail have done a lot of research to put this together but it says 19 cannabis users and growers in some areas of england are being let off without a criminal charge. we know that for a variety of reasons, police forces throughout england and wales have been turning a blind eye to possession of drugs like cannabis. but i did not know until i read the story that in certain areas they are turning a blind eye effectively to people who grow cannabis as well. we are reminded in this that it can be done
11:39 pm
ona reminded in this that it can be done on a very big scale. there was a bingo hall where police found the entire place was a cannabis factory. £2.8 million of cannabis. so brazen! absolutely. and how it wasn't found before this it is a big ‘s nurse and there is an argument for many people in this country sang well, fine, cannabis is not the worst thing to take, not as bad as alcohol or cigarettes in some cases but there are others who say, as you did earlier, quite rightly, that it can have a devastating effect. there is a lot of information about the psychotic and mental health effects potentially on some people of the highest strength cannabis. potentially on some people of the highest strength cannabism potentially on some people of the highest strength cannabis. it is interesting, the point where they
11:40 pm
are saying some forms of cannabis such as skunk are at least twice as potent as that which people may have smoked in the 19705. so there is a wide range of issues to do with this. some people in this article are calling for, effectively, for it to be legalised. you could see it being regulated better. at the same time there are concerns about it being a gateway drug or having other criminal elements involved. but this article kind of exposes the way in which drugs have become an issue in this country but no—one seems to know exactly what to do. it may also be not unconnected to the fact that the police force funding has been cut back. the times. hong kong protests. terry lamb is under protest from the people of
11:41 pm
hong kong but is also under protest and pressure from beijing. —jak ca ry and pressure from beijing. —jak cary lamb. this bill throws into release the difficulties of its status in its relationship with beijing. and the re st of relationship with beijing. and the rest of the world. and the intention as well as for beijing, between now and 2047, to further align the island with the mainland so you could foresee if that would have an impact on freedoms. and we may see more protests. it was a tremendous protest. 2 million people on the streets there and a peaceful protest and it seems to have work. she has back down. initially she suspended it, now they say no, we want it
11:42 pm
thrown out altogether and we want you out. the hong kong government's argument is that this bill, the critics say that this will mean that people will be taken back to china, political prisoners may be, seized in hong kong and taken back to china. on the other hand, the hong kong government says that they do not wish to become a haven for criminals. look at the cricket. fold over. millions chia cricket rivals. this is india defeating pakistan in the world cup. a massive audience for it. i think we were saying earlier, possibly the biggest audience for a sport that the world has ever seen. some of these pictures are found celebrating, the atmosphere isjust incredible.” billion people i think watched a worldwide. of course, interrupted by the rain. the game got suspended twice and, again, the target was
11:43 pm
changed but india were going to win it. a tremendous atmosphere and i am delighted for old trafford. and good news for cricket. i have been quite caught up in this series it has been very good. and finally on the express , very good. and finally on the express, a big hand for archie on father's day. some clear pictures of the latest oil baby. yes. you seem thrilled. —— royal baby. the latest oil baby. yes. you seem thrilled. -- royal baby. it is a baby. i wish them all every happiness and every success.” baby. i wish them all every happiness and every success. i think it is interesting because as a couple they have been quite keen to preserve the privacy of the child as much as they can but i think from the newspapers perspective it almost seems like they tease you. you barely had a glimpse when they first came out and theyjust see the top of his head. letters to come. they
11:44 pm
are staggering the revelation. just to keep us keen. that's it for the papers tonight. 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 john and nicola. next on bbc news it's film review. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. we've got mark kermode taking us through this week's cinema releases. what have you got in store for us? a very mixed bag, we have men in black: international, which is the fourth instalment
11:45 pm
in the ongoing sci—fi series, we have the hummingbird project, which is a film about obsession, and a child's eye view of the world in we the animals. you always have a mixed bag, don't you? yeah. men in black, i remember seeing the first one, i didn't think they would make three more. yeah, i think you're not alone in that. i thought the first was great. i remember seeing the first one and being really surprised by how smart and funny it was. i like barry sonnenfeld. i liked the special effects, i thought the story was well told. second one, terrible, third one, not great. now the fourth instalment, which is attempting to kind of breathe new life into it. so we have tessa thompson is molly, who as a child met an alien, nobody believed her, who would believe a child who met an alien, and so she decides she wants to become one of the men in black, she pursues this dream. she finally meets up with emma thompson's agent 0. who does actually allow her tojoin the men in black. they have a discussion about "men in black?"
