11:30 pm
hello, this is bbc news with carole walker. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines:
11:31 pm
the foreign office orders an inquiry, after what it calls a "disgraceful" leak of memos, criticising the trump administation. the e—mails written by the british ambassador to washington call the president's white house "inept, insecure and incompetent." it's obviously very disappointing that this correspondence has come out into the open, but it's also important to say that it's the job of ambassadors to give frank, personal opinions about what's happening in the countries they serve. the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, sasteremy corbyn must "get on", and back another public vote, over brexit. one of the city's biggest employers, deutsche bank, announces it will cut up to 18,000 staff worldwide. exit polls suggest greece has elected a new centre—right government, ousting the leftist syriza party in a snap election.
11:32 pm
at the women's world cup, the united states prove too strong for the netherlands, retaining their title, in france. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the parliamentary journalist tony grew and entertainment journalist and broadcaster caroline frost. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the telegraph says that career of the uk ambassador to the us is now in the balance over leaked memos branding the us president "inept". the times claims that borisjohnson is heading for a showdown with tory mps as they plot to stop him delivering a no—deal brexit if he wins the leadership race.
11:33 pm
the mirror leads with figures that show holiday prices are up to 81% higher during school breaks. the ft covers the news that deutsche bank will cut 18,000 jobs as part of a radical overhaul. the guardian reports that hospitals are having to cancel operations because consultant doctors have begun working to rule in a stand—off over pensions. so, lots of politics all over the front pages and in particular this lea ked front pages and in particular this leaked e—mail from britain's ambassador to the united states. the telegraph reporting trump aids called for darroch to be sacked, it's not the sorts of language you would expect to be made public. jeremy hunt was describing diplomatically his very undiplomatic message. painfully insecure, those
11:34 pm
are all words we have heard described to donald trump before but because it's official communications, this is the foreign 0ffice communications, this is the foreign office which is all about the arts of shrouding descriptions in far more, sort of, oblique language. as isaid, more, sort of, oblique language. as i said, this is nothing new. i think the problem is the league and the fa ct the problem is the league and the fact that it has happened now on the eve of what is probably going to be boris johnson's eve of what is probably going to be borisjohnson‘s me a ship. not only will there be hard words and swift inquiries, we will also be seeing how boris deals with this. at a time where he has been trying to forge longer links with trump and forge an american trade deal? we shouldn't be criticising the ambassador for doing hisjob which is sending frank, private information back and forth. we should be questioning why they lifted. the foreign 0ffice we should be questioning why they lifted. the foreign office is going to look into it, i'm sure it will
11:35 pm
eventually be forgotten. you don't often hear the results of these leak inquiries. i am concerned about i’uitioui's inquiries. i am concerned about rumours that this has been done to try and boost the chance of nigel farage becoming the next by minister, which would have seemed like a huge joke six months ago but fiow like a huge joke six months ago but now might becoming a reality. suggested that nigel farage become the uk's ambassador. theresa may was adamant that wouldn't happen. and we've already had reaction from donald trump. this is really not going to help us—uk relations. donald trump. this is really not going to help us-uk relations. no. he said and anything ace inning helicopter roads are that nobody heard that his aid was very swift to say this makes him completely unfit for office, you cannot serve the president also boris johnson, for office, you cannot serve the president also borisjohnson, who they think is likely. he is likely
11:36 pm
to stand down, though. he finishes his tenure in january. to stand down, though. he finishes his tenure injanuary. i think this will just cut off his tenure injanuary. i think this willjust cut off any chance of him continuing the role. he is seen as a very pro— europe, pro— remain, biased diplomat anyway, other than serious meddling, it will be to give the slot to someone far more perhaps friendly in terms of both trump cosmic inking and borisjohnson‘s. another huge problem facing boris johnson if indeed he does of course emerge as the winner of the leadership contest later this month. the time say borisjohnson faces a tory to prevent a no—deal brexit, borisjohnson said he would always be prepared to do it. plot is pretty extreme, he's always been pretty open about this. the numbers have not changed in parliament. the government has a working majority of
11:37 pm
four at the moment, three if they lose the by—election coming up. just as the eag held theresa may to ransom and ruined her premiership, there's nothing stopping 30—40 tory mps from using every tool at their disposal to china just late to stop borisjohnson. —— disposal to china just late to stop boris johnson. —— at disposal to china just late to stop borisjohnson. —— at their disposal to stop. labour need to think about when they table a confidence motion, thatis when they table a confidence motion, that is probably not going to happen till october. in the last few weeks of this parliament before summaries as they expect there will be more than one attempt to find a legislative route to prevent the payment is from taking the country out without a deal. yet boris johnson has been saying we are out october 31 do or die. it's the one
11:38 pm
thing he appears clear on, that is what is setting him apart from jeremy hunt. jeremy hunt has that yes as well, i'm prepared to it, but with certain caveat in comparison. —— caveats. this state and leader determined to take the country where the country has let it —— statesman. theresa may will say it is harder thanit theresa may will say it is harder than it looks. he is faced with dilemma, how do you keep the tory party together? he may have a glorious honeymoon period of 25 minutes before realising keeping his party facing the same direction is a full‘s errand. party facing the same direction is a full's errand. across the other side of the commons, labour is facing its own huge problems. the daily mail of course, no great fan of the labour
11:39 pm
party, labour's civil war explodes. the language is extreme but labour is in the language is extreme but labour isina the language is extreme but labour is in a terrible state. they are very, very low in the opinion polls. they are riven both on the party's approach to anti—semitism but also for it non—existent europe policy. and the thing that is really noticeable here is this isn't the usual suspects in the labour party. this isjohn mcdonnell, emily thornberry, diane, they have been unhappy since jeremy corbyn became leader, his most open allies. now they are talking about how he has to shift his position. they are talking about him shifting his position on the labour pa rty's about him shifting his position on the labour party's position on europe but also gunning for the two of his closest aides who they blame for a lot of this mess around anti—semitism. there's going to be a panorama documentary this coming week, labour have bmw trusted and said they are going to complain
11:40 pm
about a lack of impartiality by the bbc -- about a lack of impartiality by the bbc —— have pre—emptively trusted. —— trust. it's what you expect from them —— trashed. tom watson attacking labour but it isjohn mcdonnell putting pressure onjeremy corbyn to back a second referendum. it's quite unasked for a party concerned about its votes. that's probably an unhelpful way of talking about it. i am rather sick of this idea that the country is divided into brexit and remain voters, how will the country get past it is denmarkjeremy will the country get past it is denmark jeremy corbyn has will the country get past it is denmarkjeremy corbyn has been a lifelong deck, and he has senior figures warning there are quite a
11:41 pm
lot of strongly leave supporting constituencies —— lifelong euros get deck —— eurosceptic. constituencies —— lifelong euros get deck -- eurosceptic. just as we said borisjohnson will have so many challenges squaring the surface between these two actions of his party, it's exactly the same. jeremy corbyn will likely think back on those halcyon days, a rabble voting with his conscious against the government, —— rebel, now his isolated, we don't hear about him so much. diane said please think of a second referendum, everybody‘s talking about him, making these very public statements and claims. so basically we need to hear from this person if he is to take advantage of
11:42 pm
the mess the tory party is currently in as well. absolutely. let's look at some of the other stories. the guardian has a great picture there of the victorious usa football team. they were always the favourites to win the women's world cup and they certainly did it in style. yes, yes they did. tell us everything you know about football. there have clearly done a lot to inspire a lot of women footballers in this country, the united states and elsewhere. i am not a huge fan of foot ball elsewhere. i am not a huge fan of football but that is a huge take away from this. women's football has become massive. ithink away from this. women's football has become massive. i think it was the highs are viewed sporting event of the year according to the bbc. that isa the year according to the bbc. that is a massive achievement. itjust goes to show that when women's foot ball goes to show that when women's football and indeed other women sports are given the level of prominence, the bbc took a punt on this, they put it on prime time, they easily could have parked it in
11:43 pm
bbc two, they took a punt and put it on prime time and they were really rewarded for that date in the game stop all we've been hearing this evening as there is still a long way to go. even when women do want to play football, to make sure they have the right facilities and so on. we saw this with tennis a few years ago. what you need are these victories, these figureheads that somehow emerge from a bit of a fog in comparison with the premiership. so in the world cup we have had rafa no, the great alex scott representing the uk and playing as a commentator —— rapinoe, once you have those faces and names that people latch onto, you only need a few wins. we got to a semifinal, we had phil neville in charge so we can only hope to build on that. then the money and sponsorship starts to come in and gain momentum. absolutely.
11:44 pm
the times on its front page says postman is feel —— postman feel the pain of dog bites. there were over 200 attacks last year resulting in serious and permanent injury. —— 2000, over seven a day. people feel it isn't their responsibility to control their dogs. this is down to a rise in the number of online ordering, shopping and therefore an increase in packages arriving at people's' homes. ten or 15 years ago there was talk that the post was going to become obsolete because everything was going to be online and completely paperless. it turns out the internet has proved a massive base for both royal mail and delivery companies. yeah, it is interesting and easy to treat this asa interesting and easy to treat this as a light—hearted story but of course if you are trying to deliver this it is a serious issue and there are wider concerns about whether
11:45 pm
people are doing enough to control their dogs. i had a paper around as a schoolgirl and i can remember that my heart rate would just climb through the roof as they went to houses where i knew there was a quite big pooch on the other side of the door and putting the newspaper through, having it grab — horrendous, really, really frightening. there's a lot of them. if this is going to be, what we can only imagine a growing e—commerce, we have businesses embracing the advantages of the internet and the overheads. we have heard of the perils of the high street, this is sort of the unforeseen apparel of the new wave of commerce. something will have to happen. right, just finally, the story that really matters. on the telegraph, gravy with your lemon drizzle cake. i wouldn't have thought so. it is a really strange story, i am thought so. it is a really strange story, iam not thought so. it is a really strange story, i am not entirely sure it works stop i trust will be
