before the papers — sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. damien has all the details. good morning. history beckons for england's cricketers who are under an hour away from the start of their world cup final against new zealand at lords. but it's been raining this morning and mike bushell is in position for us. is better weather on the way? it is indeed, and basking in warm sunshine after getting damp and wet earlier this morning. some persistent rain, there was talk about whether the start of the match might be pushed back until iiam, that might happen but we are hoping it will be dry enough for a 10:30am start with a toss at five past ten. the england team are right behind me having a bit of a warm up. heading

into the nets. right in the distance, players kicking a football around, they seem very relaxed, confident but not overconfident because they know how dangerous this new zealand team can be if you underestimate them. this new zealand tea m underestimate them. this new zealand team that have seen off the likes of india, they've been on a bit of a wrote themselves, england beat them in theirfinalgroup game wrote themselves, england beat them in theirfinal group game quite convincingly. england are at the moment the form team after that blitz against australia when it was really pretty much a flawless performance in the semifinal. england trying to win the world cup for the first time, the first time they've been in a final since 92. the fans are beginning to fill in this stadium into lourdes, 30,000, the pavilion behind me, i'm going to talk to some of the fans, i've got both sides represented, rachel, mark and hasan all the way from new zealand. welcome. let's start with you, we give you the advantage of going first. people say that new

zealand are the underdogs but that suit you, doesn't it? this page with rain? absolutely, rain in the morning, overcast conditions, you put the new ball into trent bill sands and anything could happen. new zealand have a better chance compared to yesterday. that's how the journey of new zealand has been so the journey of new zealand has been so far. you say it's a smaller chance, they still are the underdogs, england are favourites, the batting line—up, jason roy and johnny bairstow. absolutely, the preparation coming into the world cup has been great, they have been performing really well over the past four years, if i may say. and i think they have the perfect combination, well— balanced side think they have the perfect combination, well—balanced side and like you said, the best opening pair so like you said, the best opening pair so yes, england have the better team. but its cricket at the end of the day. the better team on the day can definitely win. go the black caps. rachel and mike you are

slightly nearer to home, you've got a cape? it's a little rug, it was needed. you come from nearby, home advantage. it's going to be a wonderful day. a huge opportunity for england on home turf, i think england have great momentum, i think that little blip they had in the middle of the tournament is probably serve them quite well in the end and yes, i'm really excited about the day. how are the nerves, mark? a little bit nervous, hopefully england will win the toss, getting 320, 350, a little bit worried about some of the new zealand side but as long as we can see them, will be fine and we will restrict new zealand, i don't think they'll chase down anything over 300. plenty of confidence on both science which is good to see. all set for a fantastic occasion, the world cup final 2019 under i can say now, blue skies.

damien, back to you. the atmosphere building nicely. mike, thank you. well a huge day of sport continues this afternoon because later it's the men's final at wimbledon. after beating rafa nadal on friday, roger federer is going for a ninth wimbledon title against novak djokovic, a man who's beaten him at this stage twice before. i feel really good, you know. i must say, i recovered well after the match against rafa. it has not been a difficult tournament physically for me. important is just for me to really get up for that final, take the confidence i gained from this tournament so far and reallyjust remind myself we have one more match to go, one more and for that i need to be ready. you know, when i was a boy, this was always a tournament that i kind of observed and valued the most of any. it's the most unique final of any tournament in the world, it really is. it is such a sacred tennis club and the surface and just the stadium, everthing is very

special and unique about it so i can't wait to step onto the court. valtteri bottas will start ahead of mercedes team—mate lewis hamilton at this afternoon's british grand prix. the finn beat the world champion by the tiniest of margins in qualifying yesterday. ferrari's charles leclerc will start in third. we can cross live now to silverstone and join our reporter azi farni. hamilton looking to make history today? yes, he's already written 's most decorated formula 1 driver, now lewis hamilton is looking to become the most successful driver here at the most successful driver here at the british grand prix. he's had five wins here at silverstone, tied with the late greatjim clark and alain prost. a win today would see him take that record outright, he had the chance to do it last year, formula 1 fans remind —— remember him starting on pole position, taken out by kimmy ragan, had to claw his way back from last place, eventually

finishing second to sebastian bedell. this is his second match point as it were and i'm sure lewis hamilton will be looking for a less eventful hamilton will be looking for a less eve ntful ra ce hamilton will be looking for a less eventful race this time round. what kind of race do you expect this afternoon? it's interesting, hamilton finished behind vell terry bought us in a mercedes one and two but he struggled with the car, made a series of errors, he said the team needed to dig deep overnight and he came out all guns blazing in qualifying yesterday. he set new track records and was beaten to the line by six thousandths of a second by his team—mate. as we've seen so often this season so close between the mercedes but watch out for the ferraris and the red bulls today. ferraris and the red bulls today. ferrari finishing second —— six on the grid behind the red bulls. all

gearing up to be a very close race here today, the fans have been coming on all morning. hoping it will be a close one, all getting under way in around four and a half hours. thank you. it's day three of the netball world cup with the final games of the first group stage. england face samoa this morning looking for a third straight win, but they will do so without one of their top defenders. let's go to kate grey in liverpool who's got more on this story... that's right, not good news for england, they played scotland, they w011 england, they played scotland, they won 70—34, we saw one of the starting defenders guscoth getting herfeet starting defenders guscoth getting her feet tangled, she walked herself off the court, she was hobbling but it didn't look serious. we later

found out she has ruptured her achilles tendon which means she's no longer able to play throughout the rest of the tournament, not ideal considering england have got a number of back to back matches still to come. we've heard from the england camp they are gutted for guscoth, it's not what she wanted so early on but they will regroup and look ahead to the match this morning against samoa at 11am. they'll be likely trying out new combinations ina likely trying out new combinations in a position they had previous injuries in the past. they'll be hoping to build and move on progress through the tournament. 0n the neighbouring courts we see scotland in action against uganda, likely to bea in action against uganda, likely to be a physical game, scotland hoping to bounce back from their loss against england yesterday. we'll also see northern ireland in action this afternoon, going up against zimbabwe, who'd been a bit of a surprise package in liverpool. they have an incredible following of fans, they like to sing and chant throughout the matches, making it a real buzz of an atmosphere. northern

ireland got their first win yesterday against sri lanka and will look to hopefully get another win here today. but it won't be easy. finally, something to look out for, will see two of the top teams up against each other this afternoon, jamaica, one of the ones to watch in liverpool up against south africa, likely to be an interesting match, particularly for england and australia new zealand to see what the top teams are looking at in these early stages. plenty more to come in liverpool and will keep you up come in liverpool and will keep you up to date. kate, thank you. there was another crash for geraint thomas at the tour de france, the defending champion finished in the pack on stage 8 but lost time on the leaders. he remains fifth , over a minute behind frenchman julian alaphilippe who reclaimed the yellowjersey. 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 financial services correspondent for the sunday times, rosamund urwin and defence editor of the evening standard, robert fox. let's have a look at today's front pages. the mail on sunday has more leaked messages from the uk's former ambassador to the us. it claims sir kim darroch told downing street that president trump abandoned the iran nuclear deal as an act of "diplomatic vandalism" to spite predecessor barack obama. the sunday telegraph has more on those leaks — it reports that the cabinet office called in the police chief who threatened to prosecute those who published sensitive memos. the sunday times reports that brexit party chairman richard tice has been "embroiled" in the controversy after it emerged that mr tice is in a relationship with the journalist who broke the story last week.

the sunday express says brexit party leader nigel farage has a plan to wipe out labour in its northern heartland — saying it was a "historic mistake" for the party to back remain. the observer reports on the labour anti—semitism row, saying former staff who took part in a bbc panorama investigation are planning to sue to party. and in the mirror, the wife of lee pomeroy who was stabbed on a train and died next to his son, says she's racked with guilt for not joining them on the trip. those are some of the newspaper front pages. let's start with the mail on sunday. rosamond, great scoop, the second week of their scoop, the second week of their scoop, the second week of their scoop, the controversy not only about sir kim darroch and his resignation but now, the questions of press freedom and whether this paper should be publishing this? absolutely, i was at the hustings of the conservative leadership

yesterday, both jeremy the conservative leadership yesterday, bothjeremy hunt the conservative leadership yesterday, both jeremy hunt and borisjohnson were asked about this. clearly one of the issues around sir kim darroch departure was whether he had the support of borisjohnson and it had been felt that he didn't and so it had been felt that he didn't and so boris has now had to come out and go much more, he's made noises to suggest that perhaps he hadn't quite got that right and then here, he's come falling on the site of journalist. i would add, the mail on sunday wants to put its side here, both jeremy hunt and sunday wants to put its side here, bothjeremy hunt and borisjohnson also talked about supporting the police because it's the metropolitan police have come out and said this is probably matt —— problematic for journalists publishing this and they actually have a more balanced comment on this than a representative which isn't surprising. robert, what about the contents surprising. robert, what about the co nte nts of surprising. robert, what about the contents of the memos, no surprises? no surprises. we knew the present

incumbent of the white house has a particularly vindictive streak particularly vindictive streak particularly regarding his predecessor. he wanted to dump this deal with iran in 2015 but it's the nuclear deal, it's no surprise. he said in typical trump style it was the worst deal ebutt but mind you, he's always coming across the worst deal. there's quite a bit of row back on all of this and american policy on iran but as we get into the freedom, the defence of free speech argument i think one of the things that is not in the papers today but it has been before, i think, and we got to tread very carefully if they are going to go into the official secrets act. i expect all three of us will certainly, i signed the official secrets act at least three times, particularly when you go into combat

with british troops and this is a very blunt instrument indeed and we are on very blunt instrument indeed and we are on the slide and i think the comment actually has been very good in the papers about this. are we actually talking about national security or political embarrassment? and that's inside the paper as well. and that's inside the paper as well. and a question really of that scotla nd and a question really of that scotland yard may got it right or wrong when they launched that warning to the media not to publish this material. it did feel excessive and it felt wrong to me that pronouncement and they've got a lot of people but journalism pronouncement and they've got a lot of people butjournalism loves talking aboutjournalism of people butjournalism loves talking about journalism and of people butjournalism loves talking aboutjournalism and how we are at such a noble industry and on the front, fighting for free speech, just come of course, you wouldn't become a journalist if you didn't believe in free speech but we also have a responsibility about what we publish. good stories! of course you do, absolutely. absolutely. also,

the front of the telegraph newspaper, robert, theresa may ‘s officials underfire, newspaper, robert, theresa may ‘s officials under fire, what's the connection between downing street and this police warning? i'm afraid it's part of an attack by innuendo oi'i it's part of an attack by innuendo on certain people in the civil service, whether they're diplomats like sir kim darroch, marcus said well, the cabinet secretary, seems to be the target man. and this is something with a bit of history, he can't say, you know, was he right to launch this inquiry. —— mark sedwell. he is cabinet secretary started the wheels moving into looking at the league of the confidential telegrams of sir kim darroch. but of course he also launched the inquiry into the lakes over far away from the national security council which led to the dismissal of gavin williamson. now i

hope i'm not being paranoid but gareth williamson is a very strong ally of borisjohnson, gareth williamson is a very strong ally of boris johnson, join the dots, there's something going on. —— huawei. it's not quite august the 12th for grass civil servants. all very cryptic, this is quite cryptic, the final story we are going to cover on the leak story, the sunday times lead talking about the chairman of the brexit party. and the fact he is dating the reporter who broke the story. a coincidence. this story is highlighting perhaps we site the murky backwater behind the united states embassy affair. and there's always a question whether somebody ‘s personal life is releva nt whether somebody ‘s personal life is relevant and as a journalist, you're never really supposed to be part of the story, it shouldn't be you but clearly, these links are worth scrutinising. when the journalist in

question is in a relationship with the chairman of the brexit party. the story does say, quotes a friend of the couple saying no doubt this will few conspiracy theories but richard categorically was not involved in obtaining or handling the information nor has he seen it. it does indeed say that. and i think we have to be very careful. knowing some of the parties involved. 0k. let's go on to the mail. the threat and crisis in the gulf, another royal navy warship on the way to protect shipping there. robert, what do you make of that?” protect shipping there. robert, what do you make of that? i think it's very interesting, there is a big mood swing in the paper today. only the mail on sunday and the sunday telegraph really go into this and remember, come friday lunchtime we

we re remember, come friday lunchtime we were about to go to war by —— with iraq by all accounts. what were they trying to do? there is again, a thread thatjoins this, i think trying to do? there is again, a thread that joins this, i think the brits and particularly jeremy thread that joins this, i think the brits and particularlyjeremy hunt, penny mordant to an extent, the defence secretary, are embarrassed by this affair, the sort of just explain to viewers of what this is. this started the confrontation. this was the oil tanker off gibraltar. which british royal marines seized. exactly, it was alleged to be illegal under what circumstances, 2 million barrels of iranian oil going to syria. which the british government said at the request of the gibraltar government, they wanted to impound it because it was breaking eu sanctions against syria. but my general understanding is that the whole thing was triggered and

provided by american intelligence guidance so what was this really about and i think they are growing back because they think they haven't cove red back because they think they haven't covered here is thatjeremy hunt, as one would expect, is talking to his opposite number in iran. and they are trying to find a formula whereby they can release the cargo and release the crew, by the way the crew has been released already and that's why it's slightly out of date here. but there is a tremendous problem with what is going on vis—a—vis america and iran. both groups are divided, both have, even in the revolutionary guard, they have a peace party and a war party and you have the same in the white house and that is what you could have an accident in which the british seem to be in the eye of the storm because of course, involving these incidents, ithink storm because of course, involving these incidents, i think they are out of the eye of the store now but this is ongoing. and actually,

that's why i think the mail on sunday went so big on the trump attitude to iran and they are saying really, we've got to be sensible. let's talk about the labour party and anti—semitism, still rumbling on, the front page lead in the wake of the bbc panorama programme. yes. the labour party high command is being sued by former employees, they've hired mark lewis, well known immediate lawyer, the whistle—blowers who spoke to the panorama programme that ran last week. and it questioned whether labour is institutionally anti—semitic, clearly it has some members who have questioned anti—semitic views but the question is whether it's different, something different than that. whether the inquiry was blocked by people close tojeremy corbyn. inquiry was blocked by people close to jeremy corbyn. whether there was cases, cases being taken above the level of the people who should have been decided on disciplinary matters. in fact, been decided on disciplinary matters. infact, in

been decided on disciplinary matters. in fact, in our paper, the sunday times, another whistle—blower has spoken out but it's very hard for these people and i would say they are being very brave because one of them i believe has already had death threats overcoming forward some, so going on the record is very brave. robert, 50 years since man landed on the moon and jfk according to the telegraph asked the soviets to the telegraph asked the soviets tojoin the moon mission. to the telegraph asked the soviets to join the moon mission. it's a very well done little story and jfk, of course, they were very discomfited by the fact that russia with sputnik and with yuri gagarin, initially, were way ahead in the space race. and i thinkjfk, being the kind of man he was, said this is a centile —— scientific endeavour, new frontier and he probably really meant it because he approached nikita christophe three times and said we should do this together and when you think of sawyer's and the space station and the various

international agencies they work together and they work together very well. —— together and they work together very well. — — soyuz. together and they work together very well. —— soyuz. what a missed opportunity, we had to wait for thatcher, gorbachev, ronald reagan. people around kennedy said he used to mutter about this quite a lot. and what a sad thing it wasn't a collective international endeavour because there were cosmonauts who died whose names were never released untilfairly died whose names were never released until fairly recently who died in the pursuit of this competition who could have perhaps not. let's look quickly at the observer, a story about university college london. renaming buildings possibly to cut links with promoters of eugenics. yes, this is the old debate when we look back at views that scientists had or anybody had and whether we deem them for dinner current world andi deem them for dinner current world and i keep thinking that the difficulty ofjudging people on our current values is that in 200 years,

will have some view that people find disgraceful and we don't even know what it is! but this is looking at trailblazers including marie stopes and over issues of whether essentially they believed in eugenics and whether they held racist views. which a lot of people obviously did at the time. including winston churchill. quite. now they feel completely disgusting to us and i would say that it's right that they do but there's a real question whether we can really look back and judge people with todaypos my values. the best quote is actually from the head of the francis golden institute which is not part of ucla but pointing out that these are a problem, we can't wipe history away and we really are not getting to grips with how we address it. we cite these things were bad but some of these institutions produced very good work over the years and people

at ucl, related to the hospital, i think, this is a distraction and it can be a terrible distraction. funny enough, ithink can be a terrible distraction. funny enough, i think the dutch handle all this better, they've got a very strong, quite racist, very racist imperial background. they just strong, quite racist, very racist imperial background. theyjust put little notes on some of their big imperial explorers and pioneers saying, he was a great hero in his time but is regarded more or less as a bit these days. then you are accepting your history and that you did not behave well in the past. very quickly, the world cup cricket final and we've only got a minute to talk about it. the mail on sunday, one example of the coverage, here's your chance to go down in history. england going to do it? i hope so but i wish this had all been on terrestrial tv and more people could have seen it. the final is on channel four. and bbc radio 5 live as well. it looks as if the rain will win as well. i fear new

zealand, i think the way new zealand, i think the way new zealand, the way they beat india, i think they are quite foxy. and they know they are the underdog. we need a bit of optimism. you sound like boris! all right, thank you so much. 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. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. next it's the weather with helen willetts. hello, good morning. disappointingly cloudy in southern and eastern areas with showery rain on a very weak weather front, with showery rain on a very weak weatherfront, high with showery rain on a very weak weather front, high pressure with showery rain on a very weak weatherfront, high pressure for most of us for the rest of sunday,

should be largely dry, showers clearing away all the time. they we re clearing away all the time. they were around first thing is the spectators arrived at lord's for the cricket world cup. but it shouldn't really affect plate for the rest of the day, there should be plenty of it with sunscreen becoming more important as we go into the afternoon. showers, any that linger will be disappearing as we go to the south coast. behind it, the risk of a shower in the west but a very small risk for any one place, it should be fine, dry and warm in the sunshine. but we have eight brisk breeze blowing across east anglia and the south—east which will temper the feel of things. the west we see high temperatures where the winds are lightest. up a little bit on yesterday for northern ireland, scotland, and western parts of england and wales. further east temperatures reaching the low 20s. overnight the keen north—easterly wind rings cloud across east anglia and the south—east, north and east of scotland, holding the temperatures up. a pleasant night

across southern and eastern areas for sleeping, further west quite chilly, three or 4 degrees sunday morning across wales. chilly or cool started day, plenty of sunshine following. this crowd —— cloud taking a bit of time to clear but we will see brightness and warmth in the sunshine coming through. the tempering with the breeze on the north sea coast but for most of us a degree up. high pressure with us still but starting to break down, from tuesday onwards the weather fronts gather in the north. for northern ireland and scotland through the day and increasing risk of showers coming through but again, not for all. the east of scotland staying dry until later, dry and fine weather elsewhere, the temperatures pick up, we lose the northerly breeze for east anglia and the south—east as we switched to the south—west, the temperatures picking up south—west, the temperatures picking up in the south and east. 0n wednesday a more significant low pressure moving in. the end of the
