9:32 am
need to have the belief because, look, this is a side that until very recently, last week, was number one in the world odi rankings. they have played at different brand of cricket since 2015—16 under eoin morgan. they probably about as deep as any odi side of aberdaron. theyjust i think need to adapt. that's the key word. eoin morgan said that in his press c0 nfe re nce word. eoin morgan said that in his press conference last evening, saying we need to adapt a little, so you may not be always able to play your game you may not be always able to play yourgame and you may not be always able to play your game and you will need to adjust and adapt to the conditions and the opposition. with india, they know that the chink in india because my karma really is early wickets and if they can get virat kohli back in the hutch sooner than later, then that middle order, which has always been a problem for india, as in this tournament, as we saw against

afghanistan, it could be an area they could really exploit. don't forget coverage begins on radio 5 live sports extra from 9.30 and radio 4 long wave from 10.15. you can also watch in—play video highlights via the bbc sport website and app. well, yesterday's result means it's advantage pakistan in the race for a top four place. they beat afghanistan by three wickets at headingley. chasing 228 to win, pakistan were in trouble at 167 for six. but an unbeaten 49 from imad wasim managed to get pakistan over the line with two balls remaining. the win moves pakistan above england and into the top four. defending champions australia beat new zealand by 86 runs, despite being restricted to 243—9 from their 50 overs. new zealand's trent boult taking a hat—trick at the end of the innings. but the black caps never got close to chasing their target down — bowled out for 157 with more than six overs remaining. australia are already certain
9:34 am
of semi—final place. new zealand should make the last four. to the women's world cup. we have a break for a couple of days before the semi—finals on tuesday, when england face the usa. the other semi—finals will be the netherlands and sweden. sweden did it the hard way — they had to come back from a goal down to beat germany 2—1, the first time they've beaten them in a major competition in 2a years. stina blackstenius with the winner to send her nation into the last four. the dutch had it a little easier, securing their spot with a 2—0 win over italy. two second—half headers from vivianne miedema and stefanie van der gragt carried them to the last four for the first time. their semi—final will be on wednesday. england, of course, take on the usa on tuesday. both matches will be live on bbc one. tennis and the winners of esatbourne, the final international tournament before wimbledon, will be in confident mood heading
9:35 am
to the all england club this week. taylor fritz was the winner of the men's draw — the american beat his fellow compatiot sam querry in straight sets playing in only his second final to pick up his first ever tour title. in the women's final, world number three karolina pliskova defeated wimbledon champion angelique kerber in straight sets. pliskova didn't drop a set in the whole tournament. so attention to wimbledon from tomorrow when kyle edmund will lead british hopes in the men's singles, while andy murray will be there in the men's doubles and possibly the mixed. right now, there's a lot of talk of a very exciting pairing, with 23—time grand slam champion serena williams. when asked about the prospect she said "i'm definitely available". now 37, serena has only played five tournaments this year because of a knee injury. andy murray himself has said she would be a "solid partner".
9:36 am
i feel good now. ifeel good now, it has been a rough time for me this year but i'm finally at a place where i am like, oh my god, i'm not in pain, let's do this! so this is a good place for me to be in. you feel not in pain and ready to go? yes, and i couldn't be more excited about it! you can watch sally nugent‘s full interview with serena williams on breakfast tomorrow morning if you thought that formula i was getting a little too prefdictable this season, it's suddenly got rather interesting in austria. that's because ferrari's charles leclerc broke the track record at the red bull ring to claim pole position for today's grand prix ahead of runaway championship leader lewis hamilton. afterwards, hamilton was punished after "unnecessarily impeding" kimi raikkonen, which saw him relegated to fourth on the grid with max verstappen promoted to second.
9:37 am
a big pleasure to drive the car, itjust felt great and very happy to bring pole position back home, but tomorrow we need to finish thejob. fabio quartararo will start today's dutch moto gp from pole position. the french rookie broke the lap record in assen to become the youngest rider to take back to back poles. world champion marc marquez could only qualify fourth. britain's cal crutchlow was sixth. major league baseball has ventured to europe for the first time, with the london stadium hosting the boston red sox and new york yankees. it was a high scoring affair. the yankees surged ahead before boston fought back, but new york triumphed in the end, winning 17—13 — the second highest scoring game ever between these two. well, as this was a big event for the sport, it required the royal treatment. that's just what it got, as the duke and dutchess of sussex attended the match as the crowds roared around the stadium when they appeared ahead of play.
9:38 am
that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, here's the papers. hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are lucy fisher, defence correspondent for the times, and business journalist john crowley. let's take a look at the front pages. "get a grip or lose an election" — that's the message from labour mps tojeremy corbyn in the observer, over fears that the party could lose in a snap general election.
9:39 am
in the sunday times, the battle for the best brexit negotiators — jeremy hunt and borisjohnson both reveal they are drafting in new negotiating teams to replace the people behind theresa may's failed brexit deal. in the telegraph, space tourists could soon blast off from britain after the uk space agency began plans to rival nasa and us technology giants. "farage‘s plan to fight the new pm" — the sunday express leads with nigel farage‘s pledge of £200 million investment in the regions to win support for the brexit party. in the mail on sunday, jeremy corbyn hits back after the allegations about his supposed poor health. wright, lucy, john, let's plunge in and lets start, lucy, with the sunday times. tory rivals and hard
9:40 am
brexit betting more. betting not just over what they will put in a deal but he will do the negotiations. absolutely. this suggestion is olly robinson is off and put leadership candidates are setting out who will be on their team. it speaks to the prime minister is that they both might be. jeremy hunt has talked about drafting in stephen harper, the former canadian prime minister. that speaks to his technocratic style. borisjohnson will draft speaks to his technocratic style. boris johnson will draft an jacob rees—mogg. that shows that he really is backing the new deal threats. john, it won't help with the criticism that some in thejeremy hunt camp that it is the erg group thatis hunt camp that it is the erg group that is really running the boris campaign. i would love to be a fly
9:41 am
oi'i campaign. i would love to be a fly on the wall in europe whenjacob rees—mogg walks in. they are trying to say, my negotiation team is better than your negotiating team. stephen harper negotiated a free trade deal between canada and the eu. that started in 2009 and finished in 2016, so we have until halloween! a bit less time! it is an interesting move by jeremy halloween! a bit less time! it is an interesting move byjeremy hunt to do this. it is a hardening ofjeremy hunt's position on the question over new deal. i wonder if his advisers are saying to him, we are still quite far behind in the polls and you need to stand up with boris johnson and say how tough you're going to be on a luteal brexit. lucy, this process of choosing the tory leader, and prime minister as well in this case, it hasn't been
9:42 am
used that often. is it effective, or people in the party happy with that asa people in the party happy with that as a way of distilling the candidates down and getting to the stage of the play—off and the ballot? i think people in the conservative party are glad to have so conservative party are glad to have so much power and influence in the hands of their supporters. hundred people in the electorate. the 16 has things that are happening will be a chance to test the candidates. it was a big criticism of theresa may, because andrea leadsom, her challenger, dropped out at an early stage and she wasn't able to set out her policies. there could be problems once the new candidate for prime minister is in place. there will be ongoing questions about their mandate if they don't call a general election and taken to the public, particularly when boris
9:43 am
johnson is on record when he challenged gordon brown when he took over from tony challenged gordon brown when he took overfrom tony blair to challenged gordon brown when he took over from tony blair to have done just that. and that neatly takes us to the front page of the observer. as shot across the bows tojeremy corbyn that he might not have long to get the election plan in place. here we go again. jeremy corbyn, get a grip. the story of the weekend is not on the front pages here today, it was the times splash around whetherjeremy it was the times splash around whether jeremy corbyn it was the times splash around whetherjeremy corbyn was mentally fit, whether he is frail, if he can stand up to it. this came from briefings from senior civil servants. loyalists now, the interesting thing about the observer for me, it isjeremy corbyn loyalists who are coming out now and criticising the shadow education secretary, who is that we have got
9:44 am
to get a grip. the other interesting line for me is that party membership has fallen to about 400,000, but which is down a lot from about 550,000 at peak jeremy which is down a lot from about 550,000 at peakjeremy corbyn. you will need a battle chest to fight a general election. instead of taking the fight to labour, there is an interesting civil war that is going oi'i. interesting civil war that is going on. the tories have been all over the shop. whether you like labour or not, the country in terms of its democracy needs an opposition that is functioning. clearly it isn't. that's what the stories are getting at. lucy, this is a warning from the loyalists. the critical front pages the mail on sunday which has splashed on allegations which are
9:45 am
not substantiated suggest that jeremy corbyn might have had a mini stroke. it is this interesting out on the civil servant saying he is frail and not on the civil servant saying he is frailand not up on the civil servant saying he is frail and not up to the job. he did something surprising yesterday, maybe he knew this front page was common, he did an interview which sort of give the story fresh momentum, which presumably is a risk. yes, though i think there is a need to respond when the allegations are so need to respond when the allegations are so serious around his fitness to be leader of the opposition and potentially prime minister and a general election. i'm not sure that it will be that easy to silence the critics. his team constantly claimed that he goes on long cycles and runs and so forth, but he is 70. he has called for an investigation into the claims annexed the point that
9:46 am
whitehall must remain completely neutral politically and to get involved and to be seen to make politically motivated allegations like this is not on. it is not the last we will hear of this. were you surprised by that story?|j last we will hear of this. were you surprised by that story? i was surprised by that story? i was surprised that senior civil servants would brief the pair about that, but they have been around for a long time, they know what is going on. it was an investigation where they spoke to lots of people within the labour party, and people within the labour party, and people within the labour party, and people within the labour party had voiced his concerns. the sexy line was that it will civil servants doing it. jeremy corbyn had to come out swinging. if he didn't respond, we saw what happened last week when boris didn't respond to those allegations. it is
9:47 am
the bunker mentality. submarine is the bunker mentality. submarine is the buzzword now. he had to come out and deal with it. but it does give it oxygen. inside, they do deny that this had happened, that he had this mini stroke. we are going to have probably an election in the autumn whatever boris johnson and jeremy hunt are saying, the arithmetic is still the same in parliament. they are going to have to try and force that issue. i was just are going to have to try and force that issue. i wasjust going to stay as well, a key part of the story yesterday was how aggressive his advisers allegedly are in the sense that they asked in some way puppeteering him. voters want to feel that the leader takes control and isn't privy to behind—the—scenes machinations. maybe some of the
9:48 am
civil service on these is about the advisers, not about jeremy civil service on these is about the advisers, not aboutjeremy corbyn so much, perhaps the story is partly an temp two send a warning saying think about the people you bring into number ten if you become prime minister. they wouldn't bring up claims about his health if they didn't have... i think the civil servants knew that this was coming. you can argue the other way, they must have serious concerns if they didn't raise this issue. the inner cabal thing is fascinating. this is the director of strategy, seamus milne. karie murphy, chief of staff. they are quite competitive, aggressive people. there was lots of colour in the times about that.|j colour in the times about that.” can remember dealing with alistair
9:49 am
campbell! you still have the scars. he never left any physical bruises, but he could argue his corner very convincingly. particularly if you feel you have a hostile media. precisely. as we were staying at the start, the fact you have corbin loyalists now coming out against it, who is running the party? is it jeremy? is it the inner cabal? it is certainly not the elected shadow cabinet, it seems. let's move on to a man who thinks he is very much in charge of his party, even if they have to go at some find a new one. nigel farage and the brexit party. his smile gets broader and broader. he is not satisfied with that, he is 110w he is not satisfied with that, he is now turning his attention to a general election. the big criticism of the brexit party in the european elections is that there were only
9:50 am
campaigning on one ticket, which was getting the uk out of the eu. now he is turning his hand to building a filler manifesto, beck pledged today, 200 billion to spend in the regions. it tasted that narrative that they have pledged that there are that they have pledged that there a re parts of that they have pledged that there are parts of the country that had been left behind. the geographic, economical imbalance is are real priority for them. what do you make of this, john? the way that nigel farage seems to be trying to keep the momentum going for this party?” would love to know how this has been costed. you don't find 200 billion down the back of the sofa. there have been a lot of pledges funding wise, i'm sure the chancellor is tearing his hair out! now you have another party making uncosted promises as well. it is dangerous for the next leader of the tory
9:51 am
party because will they be outflanked on what she would call court conservative grassroots issues? it is not going to go away. what is the brexit party about once you achieve brexit? nigel farage wants to hang around a lot longer than the 315t of october, if we leave. across the board there is consensus spreading about the need for more infrastructure investment. it is labour policy, borisjohnson said he wouldn't mind seeing borrowing rise if that is for capital investment. across the board everybody is agreeing on that. the mail on sunday, page three. this is a kind of... at the top of the page is positive for megan and harry, the bottom not so positive, arguably. the mail on sunday is usually
9:52 am
enthusiastic and supportive of new members of the young royals. this is about the cottage where they are now ensconced, with baby archie. last week it was revealed that {2.4 million of taxpayers money was spent oi'i million of taxpayers money was spent on that house. it has been revealed that they bought a copper bath worth about £5,000, thousands of man hours have been spent bashing it into shape. to be fair to them, i think they said they had spent £250,000 of their own money on fixtures and fittings. i don't know if that came through diet or whomever. it doesn't look good for them when they have been given this money to spend on renovating their house, that they are splashing out. there are other
9:53 am
details about carpets and so forth. the suggestion that they had had a carpet laid and then there are two dogs ran in, made it muddy and forced it to be replaced almost immediately. that detailed to me speaks to a carelessness and a slightly spoiled attitude which i don't think will go down well. slightly spoiled attitude which i don't think will go down weltm slightly spoiled attitude which i don't think will go down well. it is not the first story or the only story we have seen that have been critical of them, but their finances and their relationship with some of their employees. there has been a high level of churn of the key aides around the couple, would suggest perhaps an attitude that does not make them the easiest people to work with. the sunday times has an interesting news about where they are going and a bit more about what is happening with baby archie. there
9:54 am
was a baseball shirt for him that have kindly supplied. this is about a royal trip. in have kindly supplied. this is about a royaltrip. in the autumn, they are due to travel to pakistan. of course, that raises lots of questions around security, but also speaks to their global role that they are seeking to take on. there is talk of them moving to africa. it is talk of them moving to africa. it is the soft british power, going and waving to people in far—away places. there is the circularity around the because princess diana went there herself. at least they have got something to do. they are using their time constructively. they have
9:55 am
set up their own charitable trust, as well. the other big story from the times is that a royal expert says the private christening plan for archie is a mistake. it should bea for archie is a mistake. it should be a royal event. i am interested in this. next weekend archie will be christened privately in st george's chapel in windsor. in one way i can understand that harry with his own chequered history with the press, his mother, might want to shield his newborn son from some of the glare of publicity. that said, if he wants to ta ke of publicity. that said, if he wants to take from the public purse 2.4 million spent on their house, slightly misleadingly called the cottage, you cant have it both ways, can you? cottage, you cant have it both ways, can you ? you cottage, you cant have it both ways, can you? you cant decide to take from the public purse and live like a rock star, then decide you will not give anything back. i'm not surprised to see there has been criticism of that decision today.
9:56 am
the transaction basically is that, there is give—and—take. the transaction basically is that, there is give-and-take. it is a joyous occasion. that is something keepin joyous occasion. that is something keep in mind. no time for the space race and the fact you can be a tourist in space, you can read that on the front the telegraph. that's it for the papers this morning. 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. if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, lucy and john. goodbye. yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far with temperatures in london reaching 34 celsius. today it is much fresher across the country. today we have blue skies and spells of sunshine. this is the picture in
9:57 am
your future. largely sunny and dry for eastern and south—eastern parts of the uk. there are some showers around today, but you will notice that things are feeling fresher. the reason for the fresh appeal is that all the hot air with us yesterday got squeezed away to the east overnight. that brings more of a westerly influence to our weather today. into this afternoon, some heavy showers are ranked in western scotla nd heavy showers are ranked in western scotland potentially with the odd rumble of thunder. one or two showers in northern ireland and north—west england at times. much of the country will stay dry through the country will stay dry through the day with temperatures up to 25 degrees in the warmer spots. through this evening and overnight, showers and north—west scotland, a few possible for northern ireland and north—west england. elsewhere, clear spells and it will feel much more co mforta ble spells and it will feel much more comfortable for sleeping. looking at your week ahead, it is fairly settled. a lot of dry weather with

this is bbc news. the headlines: donald trump steps into north korea to meet kim jong—un in the demilitarised zone, becoming the first serving us president to enter the country. stepping across that line was a great honour. a lot of progress has been made. a lot of friendships have been made, and this has been in particular a great friendship, so i want to thank you. it was quick notice and i want to thank you. a baby — delivered after its mother was stabbed to death — remains in a critical condition in hospital. a man has been arrested on suspicion of the mother's murder. jeremy hunt signals a toughening of his position on brexit in the conservative leadership race, warning he could withold some of the uk's divorce bill if he doesn't get a better deal — as boris johnson makes a similar pledge.
