up. through the latter part of the flights in 11 days. weekend, it starts to dip and takers into cooler air through the north in the mail, 1,000 dementia patients a day admitted to hospital, but further ahead the week ahead, it with poor social care driving up looks like we could sit to the south emergency admissions. the mirror leads with the death of the jet with the southwest air strea m of the jet with the southwest air stream and much of the uk could 00:02:14,421 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 enjoy a later renaissance of summer. of the ripper hoaxer, the man who derailed the inquiry by convincing police he was the yorkshire ripper, he has died. and in the express, a taser for every officer, says one police chief responding to soaring violent crime. so, the times front is all about brexit. indeed it is. boris johnson has written to donald tusk, saying that the famous or notorious backstop will have to go and making clear a ll backstop will have to go and making clear all kinds of suggestions about
11:33 pm
alternative arrangements. what is interesting about this story is how it's the same story in one, two, three, four newspapers and written com pletely three, four newspapers and written completely differently in each one. the times tells it pretty straight, it's just that, he's going to see angela merkel and emmanuel macron and the g7. and also he had a testy, had she conversation with the override car —— tetchy conversation with the irish prime minister. while the telegraph portrays it as a brave fight and he wins the day. the guardian plays it as him telling him to get lost, and the son calls it a
11:34 pm
4—page salvo —— the sun. antidemocratic, really saying it is unconscionable for us to have this backstop. the marketplace into the idea that — i think the idea that the backstop is inconsistent with the backstop is inconsistent with the idea of the united kingdom and state. applying large areas of legislation. it's all about standing up legislation. it's all about standing up for britain and old pre—election, this is exactly what plays into those people that you know, what is it that they want now? they want to see us it that they want now? they want to see us out of the eu, even some remainers are sick of it. we're starting a very long last night of prom which will go for a few months with flags everywhere and music playing. this is about a prime minister finally standing up for the interests of the uk and that theresa
11:35 pm
may hadn't because she sold out with the terms of the withdrawal agreement she signed up to. well it all depends on your point of view. i mean this, the point that we can agree on is that thejohnson is setting himself up as the people against the politicians, the politicians being the parliamentarians who won't go for it and the brits against the foreigners. whether that is enough foreigners. whether that is enough for him, as and when we both get is more likely than not that we will crash out on the 31st of october, whether that is enough for people to say good on you, rather than you and ina say good on you, rather than you and in a different way theresa may are the author of misfortunes which will
11:36 pm
only grow over the next 6—12 months. that will be down to whether there isa that will be down to whether there is a general election either before oi’ is a general election either before or straight after. the apparent simplicity of the message he is putting in this letter, if you get rid of the backstop, we could do a deal quite quickly, because i could get what is left through parliament, that seems to be the message.|j think that seems to be the message.” think the principle is that boris spent considerable time in the dup, he was at the conference very famously earlier this year which was a big surprise move. and actually, this is a man who has spent considerable time with that drg group, with that group are very considered hard—core brexiteer is —— erg, within parliament. but also has had time with that group of early supporters of boris, the leadership group, somewhere supporters of boris, the leadership group, somewhere remainers who are now sick of all of this process and
11:37 pm
have actually hardened their position and started to say look, i think wejust need position and started to say look, i think we just need to get out, potentially under any circumstances. but the backstop has continued to be the big problem and it is a problem for many labour mps as well. so the commitment to the good friday agreement and the damage that backstop could do, do you unlock a series of votes i could make a difference? the problem is the eu is still saying the withdrawal agreement stands, there is an opportunity to renegotiate, which means someone at some opportunity to renegotiate, which means someone at some point will have to back down to save face or we just march towards october 31. and thatis just march towards october 31. and that is probably the most realistic outcome. there is a chance that parliament might in several ways stop it but when you strip away the rhetoric, you just come down to some basic negotiating logic which would pertain to this or any other negotiations that take place, conflicts or disputes around the
11:38 pm
world. and that is, if you voluntarily, willingly negotiate and agree something, then it's inconsistency put it mildly, to then go back and say, oh, sorry we didn't really mean that and we didn't really mean that and we didn't really know what we thought and sorry, the thing that we thought was absolutely fine we now regard as antidemocratic and abhorrent. it just turns britain into a laughing stock. if we thought the backstop was this terrible, daemonic device designed to enslave us in perpetuity, then we shouldn't have gotten into it in the first place.” think boris was trying to say this is not my deal. but governments are legally obliged to take on any international treaties that their predecessor has negotiated. the issueis predecessor has negotiated. the
11:39 pm
issue is that wasn't signed, that is what he is ultimately bargaining on. it wasn't signed, not approved by parliament, so that not being approved is almost a mandate for him to fight to get it removed. but the eu is saying it isn't up the negotiation, we are saying we want to talk about it, folks. ultimately, it's got the eu with their arms folded and their backs to us. let's talk about the sun. there is this meeting, or a series of meetings where mrjohnson meets emmanuel macron, chancellor merkel, is there anything sifting in there?m macron, chancellor merkel, is there anything sifting in there? it seems unlikely. the eu are making it clear while they will suffer, and the member states that are particularly geographically closest to the uk,
11:40 pm
the sovereignty and uk of the single market, in other words, the legal mechanism on which the entire eu project rests, comes before all that stopped everyone will suffer but some, namely the brits, will suffer more than others. to use the phrase, who blinks first? it is just a question of that and i can't see, i mean it's not just question of that and i can't see, i mean it's notjust a question of much is no, if the eu does link on this, than pretty much the entire eu project can be unpicked —— question of machismo. any part of the single market reject. even if they wanted to, and there isn't much goodwill towards boris johnson, to, and there isn't much goodwill towards borisjohnson, but i can't see how they do it —— single market
11:41 pm
project. shall we talk about something else? 0h, go on! that would be amazing. ghosted the other story in the times. children really do make you happier, only once they leave home. i love the first line. scientists have found having children makes you happier, but only after they have left home. so they say a parent who can involve less freeze time does make free time —— freeze time does make free time —— free time. they say children tend to be happier, but a large study, german researchers have analysed questions from 55,000 respondents over the age of 50 who are basically, it appears, that those whose children appear to be more content but only if they have moved out. having them at home was linked toa out. having them at home was linked to a lower quality of life. which is interesting, given how many
11:42 pm
children... don't leave. don't leave. the boomerang generation. in some countries, it is always the case. there is a classic case of the italian young man who just basically is looked after by mum in till he finds a wife to be very traditional. but that is the sort of caricature of that. but there's also an interesting thing, the brits always been obsessed with homeownership. stream and much of the uk could enjoy a later renaissance of summer. interesting thing, the brits always been obsessed with homeownership. in most continental european countries you don't really buy a property, certainly not until you are married and most likely until you have kids or at least you are in a settled sort of domestic situation. a lot of
11:43 pm
that is, people do rent a lot more. that's also seeing the growth of the bank of mum and dad, lots of young people go to uni i moved back in with their parents to save up to get the deposit together. you also do see parents who remortgage later in life, to free up capital, so they can then be happier because the kids have moved out. some lines in this, the study suggested absent children boosted happiness only if they had a good relationship with their pa rents. good relationship with their parents. it's a classic sort of mid—august, find something different that isn't exit on the front page. there is not a huge amount in it. being that person over 50 whose kids are finished university, you're in
11:44 pm
that sort of strange situation where, touch wood, you are in good or reasonable health and you don't have that sort of constant set of obligations and i remember my mum when she was in that similar situation, just almost had a new lease on life, ten or 15 years, and so lease on life, ten or 15 years, and so if you are blessed with good or reasonable health you are actually going to have a longer relationship with your children as adults and with your children as adults and with your children as adults and with your children as children. with your children as adults and with your children as childrenm must depend on where you live in the country and where your children moved to because we have got a growing pot of older people who don't see anyone, don't see their children for months on end because of the distances. we got four minutes left. let's talk about mercedes cars on the front of the
11:45 pm
sun. there is being talk about devices that are in cars and there are insurance benefits, black boxes fitted for young people in particular when driving and it's supposed to monitor their driving habits but there is a spy on your mercedes is the front page of the sun, saying that mercedes have fitted secret trackers, sparking a previously row and essentially, the more recent models of cars have had trackers put in in which the data is being passed to bailiffs, third—party recovery firms who then go and repossess the car. whether this is directly linked to finance relating to the car or other financial irregularities or difficulties that people get into, this has now sparked a big row, civil liberties groups of got into it. it doesn't seem to suggest the details are going anywhere else but this is a growing trend where we
11:46 pm
have amazon's alexa devices that listen in, samsung tvs that watch you and cars that can track you. mercedes says yes, they are they are, but they will not say how long they have been there. they have found a link. the front of the daily mail, hospitals take 1000 dementia patients per day. this is them talking about the failing social ca re system talking about the failing social care system and people will go to hospital when, under other circumstances, there will be a better way. the issue of social care is that there should be the great long—term cross political party discussion that needs agreement. there has to be. there have been so many reviews recently.” there has to be. there have been so many reviews recently. i can't remember how many years ago. it must be six or seven or eight years ago.
11:47 pm
the 2017 election, which didn't work out. there is so much money going to the health service. these are problems occurring day in, day out. and my mum was taken to hospital a couple of years ago with a broken hip and the amount the staff had to divert to look after patients who clearly were suffering incredibly. i don't know if it was dementia, it appeared to be. they were extremely confused, people trying to take their clothes off, arguing, fighting. the disproportionate amount of effort was required to reassure these people because going back to my earlier point, a lot of people didn't have family locally. there were people that shouldn't have been in their own homes, extremely dangerous. it's massive. we're never going to solve health service problems. seagulls. the best
11:48 pm
story. you've got one minute to sell this. i have already tweeted that we we re this. i have already tweeted that we were going to be talking about psychotic airborne scumbags as the daily star reported. it's great. psychotic airborne scumbags. monster seagulls coming to a seaside resort near you. and people have called 999 over it. curious officers say nobody should ever dial 999. if they are in cornwall, they will take your whole fish and chips and the packet. they are stockpiling for no deal brexit. you said it. i'm so glad you brought it round. that's it. enough. that's it for the papers tonight.
11:49 pm

11:50 pm
this hasn't been a happy hunting ground for manchester united of late. but last week's 4—0 win over chelsea has provided a spring in the step and when marcus rushford did it, the result was great. it wasn't until the second half that wolves provided some bite. the header the post. soon beaten again. a reputation for long—range shooting from nevez. macro exec var look to the possible offside and the build—up butan the possible offside and the build—up but an incredible goal change things. when paul pogba was caught, penalty. picked himself up to ta ke caught, penalty. picked himself up to take it. now no—one has missed more than the last two seasons. again, with ebbs and flows, united's woes continue.
11:51 pm
he was confident enough, wants the ball, who wants the penalty? you can't force anyone to take it in today was full‘s decision and marcus together and it's just unfortunate that that's football. bolton wanderers have called off their league one match against doncaster tomorrow night. administrators say it's because there's worries over the welfare of their young squad. bolton were relegated from the championship and started the season with a 12 point deduction after going into administration. despite managing a draw in one of their games with the side having an average age ofjust 19 — administrators say it's not fair to call on the young players again without a proper break. they say this would be detrimental to their welfare and can't be allowed. cricket australia has defended the doctor who allowed batsman steve smith to return to finish his innings in the 2nd ashes test. brain injury charity headway is now urging the sport to change its return to play protocols. the governing body says it'll monitor smith and if he's free from symptoms for 2h hours then
11:52 pm
he can train and probably play in the third test which starts this thursday. charity headway thinks it's too soon though. currently the playing protocols don't mandate a set period of time where player has been diagnosed with concussion has sit out. football, by, concussion has sit out. football, rugby, hockey, all these other sports have these periods of at least six or seven days in a professional support parameter, it's more like three weeks. they mandate once you've been diagnosed, you have to go through return to play protocols and cannot lay before that set point. cricket doesn't habits time and! set point. cricket doesn't habits time and i think that needs to be looked at very quickly and very carefully. —— cricket doesn't have that time. england's women were held to a 1—1 draw by germany in their second match at the eurohockey championships. lily owsley gave england the advantage with her strike.
11:53 pm
germnay equalised just before the end of the third quarter. england will qualify for the semi—finals if they defeat belarus on wednesday. the winner of the tournament will secure qualification for the 2020 olympics. meanwhile ireland's women kept their last four hopes alive by beating belarus 11—nil. roisin upton struck four goals — three from penalty corners — including this one. it means victory over germany on wednesday will secure last year's world cup runners—up a place in the semi—finals. that's all the sport for now. hello there. things are going to be settling down and warming up for many of us is this week wears on, particularly across the south and east. further north and west, a few more showers around. today looks like being a dry day for many, maybe a touch warmer because those winds will be lighter but not completely dry. we still have this when the front, generating showers across scotla nd front, generating showers across scotland in the far north of england. the high pressure will be built into the south—west. after a
