said he is in no way it somewhat. he said he is in no way under arrest, that he is being questioned for technical reasons and that he is answering all questions and has nothing to reproach himself over and he is confident of the outcome. no reaction from uefa today orfrom outcome. no reaction from uefa today or from fifa either. outcome. no reaction from uefa today orfrom fifa either. they said they are in no position to comment further but french police can detain platini for up to a0 hours in this building. —— a8 hours. you're up to date with everything from the bbc sports centre. from me and the sportsday team, have a great night. next up on bbc news, it's the papers. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
10:41 pm
bringing us tomorrow. triple trouble tonight. with me are isabel hardman from spectator, conservative commentator tim montgomerie and faiza shaheen from the centre for labour and social studies. great to see you all. thanks for being with us. brexit, burqas, borders and sheep all received mission in tonight's debate and race for prime minister. 0ne got multiple mentions. yes, she. so what did fleet street make of all the shouting over each other and i agree with... shouting over each other and i agree with. .. defensive shouting over each other and i agree with... defensive and evasive bust still the favourite for number ten is the lead on the front of the guardian as boris johnson is the lead on the front of the guardian as borisjohnson takes 126 of the 313 votes cast in the second round of voting today. during the bay, he was challenged on issues from islamic phobia to his plans for tax cuts for higher earners. the merit reports and what they call clueless tory contenders being unable to answer the big questions
10:42 pm
in tonight's debate. the metro focuses on a grover stewart accusation the front runner boris johnson failed to answer questions and instead change the subject. meanwhile, the i writes that the former forrester terry emerged from his tv debate unscathed with a softened stance on brexit and attacks. let's start with the metro. bob fight as morris leaves bunker. we discussed a little earlier on. the suggestion being that mrjavid, mr gove the suggestion being that mrjavid, mrgove and the suggestion being that mrjavid, mr gove and jeremy home with for the two on the end. is that fair? mr gove and jeremy home with for the two on the end. is that fair7|j two on the end. is that fair?|j think two on the end. is that fair?” think they ganged up much more on it really stewart and he pointed the finger at borisjohnson. really stewart and he pointed the finger at boris johnson. quite interesting on this debate about stewart being the person he did not ask her to do this well. on one end, he is 0xbridge and on the other end 0xbridge. this is the way the
10:43 pm
conservative party is with his views. but certainly there was a fight and all talking over each other and difficult to make time —— as of the at times. did not really come away thinking that anybody stood out nor did you get any really clear a nswers. stood out nor did you get any really clear answers. but maybe the format of the show with that many will be difficult to get that anyway. but certainly there was a fight. was it the cacophonous sense of a bun fight as he metro suggested an boris johnson since it might be the case a few days ago that materialised?m the sense, it vindicates the use of the sense, it vindicates the use of the schism that borisjohnson has had over these debate formats. he did not take part in the debate on sunday but did take part and i because of the media pressure on him to be scrutinised. and i think we did not used to have debates as a big part of the british political tradition. 0urtradition big part of the british political tradition. 0ur tradition has much more been set with interviews like
10:44 pm
brian wald and the great interviewer i grew brian wald and the great interviewer igrew up brian wald and the great interviewer i grew up with who recently died sadly. and i think we have andrew neil today and other great interviewers and i wonder whether the public will begin to tyre of this innovation. i don't think it was edifying for anyone tonight and maybe we just need to go back to some of the traditional forms of scrutiny that do not allow politicians to just make a 32nd statement and then move onto selling elves with the interviewer or another candidate interrupting. looking through more of the papers as welcome of the application was the format may have been part of the issue. you agree? i think the numbers of candidates involved made it difficult for any mother to get a word in which is what they talked over each of the because they were all desperate to get their modelled answers out to stop others from having more time. and i think it will become clear once obvious and we get to the final two because then we get to the final two because then we will see a clash of ideas between two candidates and a chance not just
10:45 pm
for them to question each other but also for greater questioning from the interviewers as well. i think the interviewers as well. i think the metro front page, such a well it his paper, make most people who are heading for the train tomorrow tomorrow philip they would like to go straight back to bed again. does not look particularly appealing and perhaps i will turn to page 11 to the feature about mental health and biscuits to try to recover from the prospect of the tory leadership contest was asked says, not an especially appealing site for the country. i think it is important the country. i think it is important the country gets to see what is coming down the line in terms of the next prime minister. but i think we do look as the format and have to blame the candidates for making themselves so the candidates for making themselves so unappealing as well. the second bit of the front page there, contenders squabble in rowdy bbc debate, surprise search for rory is dominic raab out? he lost today, did not get 33 votes. yes, it is 150,000
10:46 pm
members of the conservative party who may the decision with the whole country probably tuned in at some point to see this debate. and they all might have thought thank god i do not have a vote. they might have thought the opposite.” do not have a vote. they might have thought the opposite. i wish i had about! pox on all their houses! when he took about what little air out we are in and how we look back at this time, this certainly is not an age of sensible politics wasn't what we heard today in terms of whimsical ideas on brexit and the sense of being out of touch or what is really going on in people's lives, there wasn't a credible question on billable children that was not well answered. the effects of austerity. it certainly gave me no confidence at all and it certainly gave me no confidence at allandi it certainly gave me no confidence at all and i think looking at the twitter reaction, many felt that way. twitter is just a whole bunch of jokes way. twitter is just a whole bunch ofjokes right
10:47 pm
way. twitter is just a whole bunch of jokes right now way. twitter is just a whole bunch ofjokes right now which is a sign people had to laugh, otherwise they would cry. if the tory party... the danger for the party is this spectacle goes on for the rest of the event to take part in this process. tory hq come of the contenders should be sitting down very soon and thinking how do we reformat so that this works. i think there is still chances for the conservative party. the 16 hustings schedule, one of them should just be about the norman powerhouse was one of them should be just about the housing crisis and one should be about how we care for other people, and if you did not come up as one of the interviewers was saying earlier. the conservative party somehow needs to show that half of this debate was about brexit and half of the debates did not was not brexit but the tory party that is going to recover the confidence of the nation have to show the content about things other than the b word and i think the reformatting of the rest of the contest before it is too late should bea contest before it is too late should be a priority. the stats from this poll that came out today talking
10:48 pm
about the majority or someone like a0 odd percent of conservative party members would rather see the break—up of the union than not follow through with brexit by halloween. that shows how important issue is. and fundamentally that if the constituency. these five guys we re the constituency. these five guys were all broadcasting them tonight. of course, i also remember and have beenin of course, i also remember and have been in this game for a little bit too long and i recall ao been in this game for a little bit too long and i recall 40 years ago when tory members last chose between two candidates. —— ia years ago. two candidates. —— 1a years ago. they had david cameron and david davis and david cannon was a most certainly closer ideologically to the average member but david karen thought about treat —— green issues and such things. but they chose david cameron over the other by 2—1. and the general public do not have a direct say in this contest but one thing members want is to stopjeremy corbyn becoming prime minister. and
10:49 pm
they will vote for the person best placed to do that. so these polls, all these posters they will be saying which one is lucky to win and the two embers will take note and the two embers will take note and the general public's views? let's go to the guardian. johnson defensive innovates but remains favourite for number ten. picking up on the point there that basically the tory burchett want someone who will stop jeremy corbyn. and they feel boris johnson is that person. but at the end of the decking with a guy has to govern the country and when he is asked questions, targeted questions according to the guardian, defensive and evasive. yes, we did notice he was pretty girly bat on the question about islam a phobia. he has defended about his great—grandfather was be proud of him be coming for anthracite which i don't think anyone cares about apart from him. this is one of the things that some people in the conservative party are worried about if he ends up facing rory stewart in the final two. is
10:50 pm
that none of them have either a successful experience or particularly high experience of government so boris johnson particularly high experience of government so borisjohnson never talks about his record as foreign secretary, he also talks about being mayor of london. rory stewart has been international development through terry in the cabinet for a matter of months. so you don't have a clash of experience if you have got those two there. if you have someone like jeremy hunt orjavid or gove, they reported to all the things they feel they have achieved as secretaries of state and a real interesting analysis being done by conservative peer lord haywood who was pointing out on i think it was the week in westminster at the weekend that a lot of conservative members are asked or current managers of businesses with that they are very interested in competence and people who used two firing those incompetent and be various did in that final round and who they think is actually able to do things. if you have a boris johnson versus stewart final recommend will be quite difficult
10:51 pm
for them but if you have someone like gove who arguably achieves a great deal in every department he goes into including winning after education and the lawyers and environmental sector around, that might be more tricky for boris johnson. who this evening struggled when he was asked again about his re cord when he was asked again about his record as foreign to her terry. but they all struggled when it came to an stewart pointed out that he has his issues on this point as well, they all struggled in getting across how they were going to implement a nokia brexit if no new deal is found with the european union by halloween which is highly unlikely for sub if there is no extension. and they move forward on their stated aim to lead by halloween. that practical how do you do it. no explanation. brexit is the remote —— rubiks cube in a way and that over the last three years asa and that over the last three years as a consul goes around in circles. to me it is either they are in
10:52 pm
denial of what is possible or they are trying to fudge itjust to get through and then once they are prime minister, they can essentially change things and change what they say. but i felt that it was very poor on brexit and from all of them. and again! poor on brexit and from all of them. and again ijust did not see why anyone would trust them on this. and ijust think that anyone would trust them on this. and i just think that with more sleeting and boris being evasive in his a nswe rs , and boris being evasive in his answers, it does feel like they are looking to forge this through full so they would not really commit to the halloween for instance apart from javid who was a bit more committal on that. i got the sense that in the months ahead we are going to be in the same problems. that is a conundrum. how do they do it? can you work out how the four who say we will lead by halloween if that requires a no deal or going to do it because none of them would a nswer do it because none of them would answer another question tonight on that? you had lots of others
10:53 pm
interviewing earlier tonight and the person i would like to interview was theresa may. imagine her side at home having a cup of tea and thinking it ain't so easy, is it? and is of course the underlying reality the promised or may change with the palm entry arithmetic does not change. so with all of them under pressure have a will explain their deal and weather is in the person or a no deal or whatever but the fact is it is all impossible potentially without something that will really change this logjam and if they fail, either a second referendum which i certainly do not wa nt referendum which i certainly do not want ora referendum which i certainly do not want or a general election. it is really possible, poor brenda from bristol who did not like the idea of voting, may well be facing a second referendum or general election before the year maybe out. that is a problem for stewart. he did not have a solution either. he is committed
10:54 pm
to getting the deal to polymer that is already rejected but he has no evidence he is able to get at the party behind him. so theresa may was not especially good at this and i don't think rory stewart is going to be able to get the members of the european research group for instance to have cosy chats with him after he is attacking boris johnson to have cosy chats with him after he is attacking borisjohnson nonstop throughout this campaign and after he has been very clear his position on brexit that is very different to what most of the vociferous and other members of the party... good to be talking about labour members, the a5 potentially or whatever it was. there are not many mps want to compromise. so if you want a referendum, you smell blood. you see that if you basicallyjust referendum, you smell blood. you see that if you basically just voting against or boris come through and pushes no deal, it is easy to block that. and if you are a brexiteers, you say we can get someone in that can leave on halloween and have a no deal. so no one is willing to
10:55 pm
compromise any more. the last three dears —— years are not divided us more but have divided the mp so i do not see how he would win those people over and if he is going to do the same thing theresa may did, then what is the point of all of this was meant might as well stay with theresa may. i'm sure she would agree with that. he calls attention to this and we have had european elections for both main parties and they suffered such... may be just a few labour mps, not enough probably that i grant but if you labour mps in northern and midland seats with leading —— in northern and midland seats with leading — — leave in northern and midland seats with leading —— leave constituency to minette was a part of opposing this withdrawal agreement again. let's go to the den emir if we can bring that up. our next prime minister, what a joke, clueless contenders unable to a nswer joke, clueless contenders unable to answer the big questions. actually jimmy corbin got an indoor mention tonight as well. —— jeremy corbyn. notan tonight as well. —— jeremy corbyn. not an flattering of terms. as the
10:56 pm
lyric party candidate. he unites them all and that is fundamental.” find it interesting to watch all of them talk aboutjeremy corbyn as this ultimate nemesis and then a way they elevate him every time they do that. and i saw in the channel for debate as well. that he is someone they are all scared. and actually in a way they are all scared. and actually in awayi they are all scared. and actually in a way i would think that the left and then to be happy that the conservative are scared. they should be because these years of tory government... they are scared of him as an election opponent, yeah. they call the edge over the people talk aboutjeremy call the edge over the people talk about jeremy corbyn and call the edge over the people talk aboutjeremy corbyn and that he will be have right now. we have someone he talks about austerity. it was doing there who call a joke. more on the left. none have been to happy about it. that's it for the papers this hour. isabelle, tim and faiza will be back at 11:30p
10:57 pm
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. back with the a lot of cloud and finery downpours and should move to east anglia and out to the north sea then a fresh batch of storms arriving in the southeast and east anglia late morning into the afternoon and a bit of patchy rain for a while for lincolnshire in the midlands but for the weft issue be brightening up and drying up and more straightforward sunshine for scotland and northern ireland interpreters very similar to tuesday. though storms should be moving away from the southeast corner during the evening and then keeping a few showers coming towards his northeast —— northwest of the uk we re pressure his northeast —— northwest of the uk were pressure is a bit lower but clear skies are not as humid for them and wells and have some early sunshine. some places stay dry on thursday but we have showers moving
10:58 pm
eastwards from wells in the southwest and not too many showers for northern england and the scattering of showers across northern ireland and some frequent and heavier showers in scotland. those temperatures again sitting at around 16—20dc.
10:59 pm
11:00 pm
this is bbc news, i'm clive myrie. the headlines at 11:00: the race to be prime minister — borisjohnson leads the way after today's conservative party ballot. tonight, he and his four rivals clashed over brexit in a live tv debate after dominic raab was eliminated. none of us wants a no deal outcome. we have to resolve this and we have to resolve this quickly. the most important thing is to win for britain and that means getting out. 0ne britain and that means getting out. one of the mistakes we have made so far is have this flexible deadline. let's get it through, let's get it done. 0skar, why did you think that prince harry was a "race traitor"? so, you're happy to post about nazis on the internet but you're not prepared to admit it on camera?
