i want you to meet forky. he is a spork. toy story four and more coming up at 1145 in the film review. welcome to our look ahead at what the papers will bring us tomorrow. guardian columnist dawn foster and joe twine. many of the front pages are with you and they are dominated once again by the tory leadership race. the daily mail reporting that wasjohnson race. the daily mail reporting that was johnson and his race. the daily mail reporting that wasjohnson and his girlfriend, carrie simmons, have fled their south london home. the son claims that boris johnson and south london home. the son claims that borisjohnson and his partner have been involved in four explosive
11:32 pm
i’ows have been involved in four explosive rows in six weeks. the mirror, friends of boris johnson rows in six weeks. the mirror, friends of borisjohnson say he wa nts to friends of borisjohnson say he wants to leave his girlfriend to go back to his wife. jeremy hunt says, his conservative leadership bible has questions to answer about the i’ow. has questions to answer about the row. the metro says that mr hunt says mrjohnson must be prepared to confront criticism if he wants to become prime minister. the i says boris johnson's supporters are asking for a full explanation of the express says supporters insist the incident was a private matter. in his weekly column, borisjohnson reaffirms his commitment the uk can, must and will leave the uq --uk on 31 october with a jubilant andy murray after the double success in queens and the ft is reporting that lloyds banking group froze the accou nts lloyds banking group froze the a ccou nts of lloyds banking group froze the accounts of around eight thousand offshore banking customers at the end of 2018. part of a crack down on
11:33 pm
money laundering. it's mostly the conservatives. johnson is a coward, says hunt. it's the battle of the leadership candidates but also the battle of the columns. jeremy hunt has written an article in the times. borisjohnson has written his regular column in the telegraph when they both set out attacks on each other. jeremy hunt is called boris johnson a coward. he says he is pathetically evading questions but at the same time, he says he's interested in boris's private life, this is only about policy. it all comes down in the end to brexit into the conservative membership think they can trust on brexit will probably determine who wins. jeremy hunt knows that and he knows that borisjohnson hunt knows that and he knows that boris johnson making a hunt knows that and he knows that borisjohnson making a gaff is his best chance of getting in and i imagine he hopes whether this latest
11:34 pm
incident is of interest to the public or of the public interest, it remains to be seen. this coward charge, avoiding questions. will it carry much weight? it is something that has faced borisjohnson since the beginning of the campaign. previously he has been very forthright and is very outspoken. always getting into trouble or his controversial comments and ever since the beginning of the tory leadership campaign, is supporters are really held him back sol leadership campaign, is supporters are really held him back so i think jeremy hunt pushing forward, saying you are being very cowardly, not open with the public, you can use this argument over the row is a kind of trojan horse to push it forward but when you look at the way boris johnson has behaved across the campaign, he has been very careful and has not been very open about his plans for brexit if he does get elected as well. it does expose the one weakness boris johnson
11:35 pm
elected as well. it does expose the one weakness borisjohnson has. they worry that he won't get to the campaign without some completely fatal gaff, what looks to be a very obvious when at the moment. poles of conservative party members? they show that boris johnson is conservative party members? they show that borisjohnson is well ahead but what they show consistently is the most important thing is delivering brexit on account of the can't deliver brexit is not going to win. in a contest between michael gove and boris johnson, the dynamics may have been different. michael gove could have positioned and built —— decision himself as someone on the leave bandwagon as soon as it started whereas boris johnson bandwagon as soon as it started whereas borisjohnson could have been presented as the fair weather exit year but it's a different situation againstjeremy hunt who supported remain and voted remained but could be accused of being another theresa may. borisjohnson could be said to be the more legitimate brexit candidate. in that case, take us to the telegraph. yet
11:36 pm
again, borisjohnson has written his wee kly again, borisjohnson has written his weekly telegraph column and said that he won't bottled exit and it's very clear that he is trying to push through this current scandal by confidently focusing on the issue that he knows matters most to conservative party members who will i'iow conservative party members who will now be deciding who is the next prime minister. he won't really be drawn on what will happen after you get selected. every time somebody says, what will you do, given the fa ct says, what will you do, given the fact that the eu say they want to renegotiate exit, he says, i am sure they will. every time you point out they will. every time you point out the parliamentary arithmetic won't change, he says, we can always look at whether an ideal brexit is feasible. even if he does win, he may well have to bottle brexit because there is no change. even if he does move to an ideal brexit,
11:37 pm
thatis he does move to an ideal brexit, that is the next stage, it isn't an end state. you would think in all these hustings, one of these details is going to emerge. it remains to be seen exactly how that would work and both candidates adopt a position. all they can to try and avoid actually being tied down on what brexit will really mean in terms of specific policies. that way, the broad range of views that are encompassed within leave voters, it means that certain sections of that group will not be turned off by the specifics. particularly boris johnson will hope that everyone will think, his brexit is my brexit. that's why he's basically going to save for the next however many days 01’ save for the next however many days or weeks, trust me to deliver the type of brexit that you want. that
11:38 pm
is whatjeremy hunt is saying. coming down to what political science because of valence issues. of course, there is a whole other question once the new leader, whoever it is, has been elected. a whole other question about what exit actually looks like. only a few months earlier, they had voted. dawn, the mirror are going for the private rather than the policy. dawn, the mirror are going for the private rather than the policylj think private rather than the policy.” think this shows that we are on day three of this issue, dominating headlines and over again. even if conservative party members aren't particularly preoccupied by this. the rest of the public are. a huge numberof the rest of the public are. a huge number of people seem very interested in wanting to know exactly what went on. jeremy hunt points out that the public have a right to know whether or not the person who will be the next prime minister is trustworthy. a number of women's charities came out and said they were worried that we had a
11:39 pm
prime minister who wouldn't answer questions about possible domestic disturbances, they were concerned about the message. obviously now his private life, which has always been a bone of contention is coming to the fore. that is what is campaign we re the fore. that is what is campaign were trying to stop beforehand.” suppose you wonder how long realistically this aspect of the whole story can run. it wouldn't surprise me if next week he writes two separate columns about staying with his girlfriend and returning to his wife and arms and i was about that before eventually coming through. imagine. it wouldn't happen ain? through. imagine. it wouldn't happen again? whata through. imagine. it wouldn't happen again? what a cynical view. the mirror ideally would like neither of these two. it's an important story.
11:40 pm
there is a dramatic rise in the reports of abuse in britain's care homes. this was marred by the investigations that panorama started. the numbers are really distressing, quite frankly. and 82% lea p distressing, quite frankly. and 82% leap in one year and the number of reported cases over a 4— year period, more than a quarter of a million reports of abuse reported. this is just an million reports of abuse reported. this isjust an illustration million reports of abuse reported. this is just an illustration of the kind of issues that the country faces and will continue to face as a result of, for instance, an ageing population. all of these subjects are being moved, notjust to the sidelines but almost completely ignored while the government's bandwidth for the last three or more yea rs has bandwidth for the last three or more years has been completely occupied by brexit. to an extent, some of this is due to revelations that have
11:41 pm
a move “— this is due to revelations that have a move —— emerged in county durham, psychological torture. if you look at the wharton hall case, talked about unfurnished rooms and some of it will be down to the fact that there are changes to how these things are reported. a rise of 82% is obscene. as joe things are reported. a rise of 82% is obscene. asjoe points out, it's because of all the oxygen has been sucked out of the political room that all these things are happening in the background. we had nine years of austerity now. we have a rise in ageing population, carers aren't paid very much. it's been stretched to the limit. so much going on. we've senate life expectancy is beginning fall for the first time in all these things are happening in the background. all we see consta ntly the background. all we see constantly in westminster is brexit. a lot of people are incredibly bored of it. then the exit will affect
11:42 pm
their lives but care home scandals are as well. women make giant leap there is no space for men, in the times. women will colonise venus, men will never get to mars. scientists have discovered that sperm can survive in space so they say if they want to colonise space, they can send women up there but with sperm, they won't necessarily mean men. i will stay on the ground then. i didn't quite fully understand it. this was quite a tough football match, wasn't it? i really nasty encounter for england to put up with. spitting, stamping,
11:43 pm
shouting, accusations of racism. england came through. the second goal at halftime. they face norway in the next round and potentially the us in the semifinals. i imagine that both of those will present a more significant challenge in cameroon by the team are continuing to get better. they need to focus consistently more but certainly a lot of positives. also provoking a greater level of interest, which is fantastic. people are saying this is great for women's sport. i think this is great for sport. there are boys and girls at home inspired by this. andy murray. inspiring you? yes, his back. his hip is fixed. he's incredibly happy he won his doubles and lots photos of him celebrating and it's just
11:44 pm
doubles and lots photos of him celebrating and it'sjust really heartwarming to see somebody back to top form and just looking incredibly happy and making everybody else happy. i love the way to point out the pair have a combined age of 69, as if that suggests it is a miracle on the court at all. thanks to the modern miracles of sports science, people keep going well into their 30s. there is hope for both of us yet. it's a fantastic performance. you are anxious about his hip? he is five months older than me. i have five months older than me. i have five months older than me. i have five months to go before my hip goes. next week, you never know. don't forget, you can see the front pages on line. it's all seven days a week. if you miss the programme any union, you can watch later on the bbc iplayer. next on bbc news, it's
