the prime team, celebrating with the prime minister, who watch them at lord's actually. yes, the prime minister is looking very happy, she has the victorious england cricket is in for a reception at downing street and she is actually a genuine, devoted cricket fan herself. she has held this reception for them and said she hopes their victory is going to inspire millions of youngsters to pick upa inspire millions of youngsters to pick up a cricket bat for the first time. i guess the question now would be whether she tries to sneak in a few honours for her in her resignation honours list, if she has one. they deserve some, don't they? i think one. they deserve some, don't they? ithink so, one. they deserve some, don't they? i think so, and borisjohnson and jeremy hunt were both asked about that tonight in the debate, and both said they should get knighthoods at the lease so i think at some sort of honour is on the way. she is a huge cricket fans i would have been delighted to spend some time with them at downing street. may she is beaming in that picture, not all of her time as prime minister has been quite so happy but she seems to be enjoying her final week. congratulations to the england men's

cricket team. also on the metro front page, this news about the scooters —— e—scooters. a woman died and a teenager was left fighting for his life in separate crashes just 2a hours apart. the interesting thing is these e—scooters, i see them quite a lot but they are apparently not allowed on the street or on pavements or anywhere. not allowed on the street or on pavements or anywherelj not allowed on the street or on pavements or anywhere. i think people aren't necessarily aware of because these accidents seem to have happened on public streets, a 35—year—old youtuber emily hertfordshire and then the next day a boy of ia suffering a serious head injury. looks incredibly dangerous and what michael ellis the transport minister has done is remind people you're not allowed to ride these on roads, pavements or anywhere in public. so just on private roads, pavements or anywhere in public. sojust on private property presumably. but they go about 30 mph

potentially. yes, quite quick, and you can see why they are dangerous but i guess the question is if they are not allowed on roads, pavements, quite why so many are being sold, why so many people are buying them if they are not allowed in so many places. i do see them on roads. let's move on to the guardian. you have a front—page lead about boris johnson. 0bviously have a front—page lead about boris johnson. obviously the tory party leadership race reaching its climax. there were some hustings tonight. do you think boris johnson. .. there were some hustings tonight. do you think borisjohnson... well, tell us first of all before i think whether he would be bothered about these claims, what the actual report that you've got in your paper about. isa that you've got in your paper about. is a report by my colleague francis perrin says in 2007, in an appendix to one of his books, he wrote an essay, saying islam has caused the muslim world to be literally centuries behind the west. saying that as a result muslim grievance was a factor in virtually every

conflict he could think of. that has been criticised really strongly by the group tell mama, which monitors islamophobia. and the muslim council of britain as well, and also the former conservative head of the conservative muslim association. so it has caused a bit of a stir. part of this exercise the guardian is doing, going into depth about boris johnson's record, examining every period in his professional career. and this one in particular is looking at this time in his life as a journalist. because he looking at this time in his life as ajournalist. because he was looking at this time in his life as a journalist. because he was a journalist, and has written columns very recently, he has written an awful lot of stuff in newspapers and magazines. there is a lot of stuff to go through. he has. what boris johnson was saying tonight, he was confronted with some different comments he had made. he said it wasn't really fair people going

through and excavating and dysentery and comments from his past, but i think we at the guardian would argue it is really important, this man is going to be prime minister probably injust over a week's going to be prime minister probably in just over a week's time, so it is essential to look at his record, when really it is a very small section of the population choosing him based on a limited selection of hustings over a period of weeks. do you think it is fair game for a paper like the guardian to go through his previous journalism? paper like the guardian to go through his previous journalism ?|j through his previous journalism?” think so, and withjeremy through his previous journalism?” think so, and with jeremy corbyn, through his previous journalism?” think so, and withjeremy corbyn, he had a long history of things he had said in the past, and papers like my owi'i said in the past, and papers like my own went through. comments like this i don't think i going to make a difference, i think borisjohnson will be the next tory leader and for a lot of tory members this will not affect the way they will vote. after borisjohnson becomes prime minister, he could end up fighting a general election. that's when things like this could become quite important, and you could see further comments come out in the next few years, and if they, during an election campaign, a lot of the vote rs election campaign, a lot of the voters in the centre ground might

find it slightly uncomfortable to vote for him. just as an aside, if he does win, and his main plank is he'll get the uk out of eu by 0ctober he'll get the uk out of eu by october 31 do or die, do you think he actually will? he has repeatedly pledged that, he said do or die. he has boxed himself in there. tonight we saw there was a debate earlier this evening. he was asked about the northern irish backstop and what sort of changes he would accept that. he boxed himself in further and was quite specific on the things he would not and would allow. i would have thought someone like boris, who is so far ahead in the race, would be wanting to be quite careful about prescribing what exactly changes he is seeking on brexit, rather than the last few days of the contest where it looks like he is home and dry, he is further blocking himself in on what he needs to get from the eu to make an acceptable deal. on the other hand, he has repeatedly refused the

suggestion of whether he would resign if he does not hit the deadline of october 31, so it might be what will happen is parliament, he is not able to achieve that 0ctober he is not able to achieve that october 31 deadline but he has it imposed on him rather than failing to meet it himself. let's look at the independent, very controversial comments even by donald trump standards, with his twitter tie rate about these four democratic congresswomen, effectively saying they should go back to the countries they should go back to the countries they came from, even though three of them were born in the united states. what do you make of it? extraordinary for a sitting us president to have said that and it has been condemned in the us as a racist rant. 0ver has been condemned in the us as a racist rant. over here you would not normally see a prime minister intervene in something that is kind ofaid us intervene in something that is kind of aid us domestic political row but theresa may came out today and said it was completely unacceptable for the president to have use that language. do you think that is

partly because she is cross with him about the british ambassador? she certainly has been bolder than she has on this issue than in the past. he said her handling of brexit was foolish and so on so he has upped the ante. you could spew it through the ante. you could spew it through the prism of a kind of escalating diplomatic spat, and she has on her way out so could perhaps be a bit freer. but then we did see tonight borisjohnson freer. but then we did see tonight boris johnson and jeremy hunt freer. but then we did see tonight borisjohnson and jeremy hunt echo her language and say it was com pletely her language and say it was completely unacceptable. boris johnson was quite strong against this tonight, against what donald trump has been saying. both jeremy hunt and boris johnson to say it was u na cce pta ble hunt and boris johnson to say it was unacceptable but neither of them would say it was racist, so even though we are seeing it in all the front page saying it was racist, commentators in america saying it was racist, they thought it was too farand was racist, they thought it was too far and that is where they draw the line and thought it might make things quite hard diplomatically to call out donald trump is clearly racist. do you think it was? it looks like it, they are all bme

women, all born in the us apart from one who came here 20 years ago as a refugee, so quite hard for them to go home, as donald trump says. now to your paper, the daily mail. tell us to your paper, the daily mail. tell us about this front page. toxic threat to babies in the womb. a risk of being pre—polluted. i hadn't heard that word before, may be your paper has coined it. may be. this is a story about how everyday items in your house could be causing health problems for people's babies, and it's quite interesting some of the stuff, flame retardant material on furniture, the stuff that you would think is there to keep you safe, stop your house from burning down, actually some of these chemicals because of the amount of levels in furniture to keep it safe from setting on fire how if it manages to get into breast milk, it can cause cancer, and it can disrupt hormones.

these things you have a house that you think actually these aren't harmful at all, it is actually quite to be clear, this is from mps on the commons environmental audit committee, so this isn'tjust anybody throwing together a report. no, it is a committee of mps, and they are kind of flagging up the problem, and calling for a ban on the most dangerous chemicals in food packaging, and saying we need a public information campaign to one the public about the dangers of these chemicals. good front page, do you think, rowena? yes, extremely shocking thought, the chairman of the committee saying it is a frightening situation that is growing evidence of risk about these flame growing evidence of risk about these fla me reta rda nt growing evidence of risk about these flame retardant chemicals posing a threat to human health. all new furniture is sprayed with the stuff almost so it is quite a shocking story. see what happens as a result of that. 0nto the daily telegraph.

their lead story is middle—aged white chiefs and quotes are the problem for the military. 20 years out of touch on race, sexism and bullying according to reports. this isa bullying according to reports. this is a report by a gentleman who is a new chief of the air staff. looking at the military and people from diverse groups who have been brought into the military. the military has been quite good at bringing in women, bringing in black military officers, but it is talking about the experience they find when they get in there. a lot of these people in charge of groups in the village hall are white and middle aged, so not used to —— in the military. they are not used to working alongside these people. it is saying some of this stuff, it is rarely malicious and usually perpetuated in

misunderstanding. they are talking about these people, how do they properly treat their staff? it also reaches an interesting dilemma for borisjohnson. obviously reaches an interesting dilemma for boris johnson. obviously you reaches an interesting dilemma for borisjohnson. obviously you have a penny mordaunt, the first ever female defence secretary who took up her postjust a female defence secretary who took up her post just a couple of months ago. she is someone who has not supported borisjohnson, ago. she is someone who has not supported boris johnson, she ago. she is someone who has not supported borisjohnson, she went to jeremy hunt. i think borisjohnson has a jeremy hunt. i think borisjohnson hasa dilemma jeremy hunt. i think borisjohnson has a dilemma here. if you does re move has a dilemma here. if you does remove someone who has a dilemma here. if you does remove someone who the first female defence secretary after just remove someone who the first female defence secretary afterjust a few months in the job, that would look quite vindictive. it says this report recommends all senior officers from brigadier level and above present on mandatory training courses and cause for a culture and behaviours are. what do you make of all this? i think it is something lots of different professions and spheres of work have gone through in recent yea rs, spheres of work have gone through in recent years, we've seen it in show business and politics. it is this sense there has been sexism, bullying and harassment that has

been going on and not enough has been going on and not enough has been going on to call it out. this isa been going on to call it out. this is a case where the military is having to get its house in order. it seems like a first initial obvious basic step to send people in training about how to avoid some of these pitfalls. now, smart metres, may be not being that smart, because marks meted displays have randomly switched to welsh apparently. what do you make of that rowena? —— smart metre displays. you would be a bit confused if you did not live in wales. we read a little bit down the story, doesn't seem to be every single smart metre in the country, a small number of customers from one company, bulb, a renewable energy company, bulb, a renewable energy company and a spokesman for that firm says luckily the solution is a few button presses away and the language settings can be changed in less tha n language settings can be changed in less than ten seconds. a good quote

from one customer, saying i don't live in wales and i don't know welsh. one day i saw my metre was in welsh. one day i saw my metre was in welsh and i turned it off with my power button on the back and turned back on and it loaded up again in welsh. but it was operational, so that's good, as long it works. yes, looks like it is quite easy to change it back into english. have you got a smart metre?” change it back into english. have you got a smart metre? i don't, no. do you want a smart metre? not if it's in welsh! well, all right, let's end with the financial times and these new £50 banknotes. i don't know how many £50 banknotes one has these days! alan turing will be the face of the new £50 banknote, and of course the mathematical code breaker, genius, helped end of the second world war early. quite uplifting really, because alan turing was only given a hard and i think in 2013. just explain the

background, because he killed himself in 195a. background, because he killed himself in 1954. he died a prayer because of homosexuality, that is what he was in trouble with the law four. he received this royal pardon. in recognition of everything he did, breaking the enigma code, he is on the £50 notes. a real british hero? he is, we don'tjust talk about the £50 notes. a real british hero? he is, we don't just talk about the enigma code and cracking it but we also talk about his vision when it came to computers. he wrote an academic paper talking about the first computers, and where he thought technology was going to go and obviously we know now computers are quite incredible. do you like this idea of having people who have achieved amazing things being on the front of banknotes? i think so, yes. it is nice to look down and see the faces of people who are

inspirational, and that obviously has been this campaign to get gender equality on banknotes, and alan turing is obviously not a woman, but he has been through a lot, had been through a lot, in terms of having been criminalised because of his homosexuality, so i think it is a really uplifting, nice story.” wonder who will be on the banknotes of the future from today, englandgritters? i'm sure about that! laughter we will have a think about that and get back to you in the next hour. we will all be back at another look at tomorrow's papers, at 11:30pm. also don't forget you can see the front pages online on the bbc news website, for you seven days a week, bbc dot bbc dot ko dot uk forwards papers. if you miss the programme any evening you can away see it later on the bbc iplayer. thanks

again to my guests, goodbye from us, goodbye. for many parts of the uk, it turned into a beautiful day, with blue skies overhead. this is how it looked for one of our weather watchers on the coast of aberdeenshire. but don't get too used to the weather you had to start the week, because there are changes on the way. after that dry and warm start, things will be turning increasingly wet and actually quite windy as the week wears on. you can see the unsettled weather lying in wait in the atlantic, these clumps of cloud on the satellite picture, which have so far been fended off by an area of high pressure. but as that high retreats, those frontal systems will make a bit more progress over the next couple of days. the first one actually working its way in from the west right now we'll see some cloud and some outbreaks of rain perhaps across northern ireland and western

scotla nd northern ireland and western scotland through the night. but many spots will be dry with some clear spells, could be the odd mist patch here and there and it will turn into a relatively cool night across some rural spots in central and eastern england. but further west with that extra cloud, not as chilly. into tomorrow then, that frontal system will continue to work eastwards can make it out on the chart, just a bit more in the way of cloud, and some extra moisture, which could allow the odd shower to break out, once we get into the afternoon. for many, a dry day with lots of sunshine, and those temperatures particularly for central and eastern parts of the uk a little bit higher than they were during the day. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, here comes the next frontal system. this one will have a bit more like about it. we are likely to see some fairly heavy and potentially thundery rain pushing its way across northern ireland and the western side of scotla nd ireland and the western side of scotland as the day wears on. with that, the winds will start to pick up that, the winds will start to pick up as well, but further east from eastern scotland, down across england and wales, we will see more in the way of high cloud streaming

m, in the way of high cloud streaming in, still some spells of sunshine, and while north—western areas will turn a little cooler, further south and east, another warm day with highs of 25 or 26 degrees. for thursday, this front swings its way eastwards, a bit of rain with that, as we get into friday, this next developing weather system looks like bringing a dose of wet weather, yes, but also some unseasonably windy weather. signs of things turning pretty unsettled for the end of the week and for a time at least they will turn a bit cooler as well.

this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at 11pm: the prime minister hosts a reception tonight for england's cricketers, who made history by winning the world cup for the first time. i could see everybody‘s reaction and the support and the following we had, we are excited to have done what we did. donald trump is accused of being racist after telling four democratic congress women to go back to the crime infested countries they came from. if you're happy here, you can leave, and that's what i say all the time. that's what i said in a tweet, which i guess some people think is controversial but a lot of people love it either way. more than 50 hours of surgery. a special report tonight on the

extraordinary skill
