11:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news with julian worricker. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment with ayesha hazarika and christopher hope. first, the headlines. anger grows at the government's decision to suspend parliament for five weeks as rebel tories and opposition mps accelerate their attempts to block a no—deal brexit. what we're going to do is try to politically stop him on tuesday with a parliamentary process. but one former minister warns that mps are running out of time. parliament does have
11:31 pm
a responsibility to act, and it may well be that next week is the only opportunity for us to do so. meanwhile a court in edinburgh hears the first of a series of legal challenges to the suspension of parliament. we do not live in a totalitarian state, we live in a state which is limited by the rule of law. scottish tory leader and vocal critic of the prime minister's approach to brexit, ruth davidson, resigns citing "professional and personal" reasons. after 17—year—old ellie gould was stabbed to death in wiltshire in may, another teenager, thomas griffiths, pleads guilty to her murder. councils in england warn that funding uncertainty means some some vital services for the elderly and disabled could be cut. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
11:32 pm
bringing us tomorrow. with me is columnist at the london evening standard, ayesha hazarika and the chief political correspondent for the telegraph, christopher hope. welcome back to you both. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the ft reports that the prime minister is about to step up the tempo in his talks with brussels over brexit. the express claims that the queen will refuse to meet the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, forfear of being dragged into the turmoil at westminster. the daily telegraph says mr corbyn is planning to "shut down the streets" with protestors opposed to a no—deal brexit in the biggest demonstrations seen since the days of the poll tax. the metro says the labour leader has vowed to make the suspension of the house of commons illegal. the guardian says a growing number of conservative mps are now prepared to back emergency legislation to block a no—deal. it also features a picture of ruth davidson, who's resigned as tory leader in scotland.
11:33 pm
her image also makes the front page of the ‘i' newspaper, but it too leads with claims that tory rebels will block borisjohnson‘s brexit plans. the times says that labour and tory rebels plan to sit at the weekend to try to stop a no—deal brexit. and finally, the daily mirror has what it says is a world exclusive picture on its front page of prince andrew, taken at a party in florida in 2000 with the trumps and the convicted sex offender, jeffrey epstein. let's have a look at a fair few of those in the next moment. it's the guardian we start with, senior tories ratcheting up action to stop no deal. the guardian is going for this quite arresting front page, they got there achieve political correspondence talking about which political mps remain. signing their
11:34 pm
own political death warrant within their own party and attempts to stop borisjohnson threatening a no deal on october 31. a growing number of senior tory rebels, perhaps 20—a0 might do it, balanced by brexiteer labourmps, hugh might might do it, balanced by brexiteer labour mps, hugh might want to vote with the government. so we are approaching the end game —— who might. if conservatives do vote in the way those 20 or 30 mate, what would that mean? i think the parties are aligning after the result in 2016, so you've got labour relu cta ntly 2016, so you've got labour reluctantly going towards a remain position, and on the right—hand side you've got the tories moving towards a you've got the tories moving towards 3110 you've got the tories moving towards a no deal hard line on brexit, and thatis a no deal hard line on brexit, and that is unacceptable for people like david gauke, margot james, that is unacceptable for people like david gauke, margotjames, these are pro—eu soft left tories who may be
11:35 pm
unhappy in this new party as it forms. and what is your take on the guardian's view? trying to change legislation is really the thing that everyone is focused on. the vote of 110 everyone is focused on. the vote of no confidence is seen as an option of la st no confidence is seen as an option of last resort because a lot of people are still not comfortable with the idea of putting jeremy corbyn in as a caretaker prime minister, although i think that is lightly softening now from within the ranks of the labor party and the lib dems. but this is the thing people will be focusing on. they will be trying to use something like expanding order, this was last used when theresa may was the watered. 0liver let win, dominic reeve, yvette cooper, and expect to see that group of people but now bolstered by philip hammond and as christopher said, david gauke. it is exonerated think that just a few
11:36 pm
weeks ago, philip hammond was the chancellor and now he is an active rabble of the backbenches. it's normally a neutral motion, now it's been used in a positive way byjohn bercow. so this means they can force the government to do something, delay again. will not provoke parliament —— or not prorogue parliament? it will influence the number of people who will go along with it, but it's about the ones who are not sure? the critical thing as well as there are two things. if the legislation passed, it might not be the end of the story. what will borisjohnson the end of the story. what will boris johnson and dominic the end of the story. what will borisjohnson and dominic cummings do? will they respect the results of this new piece of legislation? the other thing that has been mooted is they might get the queen involved again and say you must give royal
11:37 pm
assent to any legislation. nobody tells the queen you must do anything, not even jeremy corbyn. we know how this all works. she is advised. but you can get strong advice. there are so many twists and turns but certainly right now the remain alliance, the remain rebels, this is what they are coalescing around. and there is also talk that john becker, on holiday at the moment, he is allegedly having background conversations with his rabble saying he has allowed them to have a go with this. we know what he thinks about this from yesterday, he made a public statement. at the consulate in turkey. well, he is allowed to have a holiday. and in the times, the weekend parliamentary settings. we've just been talking about people and their son lownds,
11:38 pm
saying they can't wait to get back to work. this is saying having parliament sit over the seventh and eighth of september. jacob rees morgan, now leader of the commons, has pushed back against this idea. 0ne has pushed back against this idea. one thing has pushed back against this idea. 0ne thingi has pushed back against this idea. one thing i think he is correct about this is that the only way that the rebels have of changing course on this and forcing the government to ask for this extension is either to ask for this extension is either to change the government or to change the law. that is the only way that they will be able to have that effect. that is true, isn't it? i agree that is a reality check. he's kind of goading and teasing and sort of patronising of the rebels. the truth. let me finish. what this actually could have his — like i say, the rebels have been kind of unified, so by him saying... up to a
11:39 pm
point. i think they're pretty angry and pretty desperate right now. this votive no confidence, i think you might see people coalescing around this more than they were a couple of days ago —— vote of no—confidence. who is this new leader of the group you are describing? can clark? cooper? i think people might soften to the idea ofjeremy corbyn. really? the only way to get an extension is debit different prime minister who will ask for an extension —— is to have. there are how would that solve anything? i think a general election would solve things because it would be a de fa cto things because it would be a de facto second referendum. things because it would be a de facto second referendumlj things because it would be a de facto second referendum. i think it shows the degree of getting on with it. they've done this because rather than for a road
11:40 pm
it. they've done this because rather than fora road —— prorogue, it. they've done this because rather than for a road —— prorogue, anyway, failing to agree on brexit three times over 2.5 years. a lot of people think it's constitutionally important that mps do have a say. david cameron brought back parliament to hubbard on whether we should —— brought back parliament to discuss whether we should do syria. and the 82 debates on the invasion of the falklands —— debate in 1982. it was on the radio, and you got the impression it was really quite important. your man wants to christopher hope and give more time. mps want more time. they are tired, they want to celebrate. no, they're ready to do democracy. and now here we are in the telegraph, calls to
11:41 pm
shut down the street. jeremy corbyn hasissued shut down the street. jeremy corbyn has issued a message down to his mp saying i encourage them to shutdown public protests opposing this shutdown, i worded that wrongly. i am opposing the shutdown. so let's all stop work and protest against brexit. itjust shows how much all stop work and protest against brexit. it just shows how much they are concerned. processing is all right. there are shutting down? —— protesting. a no-deal brexit and all these nhs staff leaving is going to have a head. why are they leaving? they are going to stay. a portuguese worker in tears she has no certainty about her future. but this country
11:42 pm
has a proud tradition of peaceful protest, it's called democracy. there are elements of this i know you both acknowledged in our last conversation, pushing it a bit too far. any incitement surveillance, any idea of going to protest in front of somebody‘s family house, no. but do not belittle or underestimate the strength and feeling to me this feels very reminiscent of the poll tax. that had a powerful effect and i think 48% of the country did not vote for this and people are going to be... you have to accept the winner in democracy. i think what people would like, three years on, i think a lot of people feel they were misled on both sides, by the way. there is much more face on the bones, we have eyes wide open. if we fantasise the will of the people so much, why
11:43 pm
can't we put it back to the people? what are they so scared of? do you think we are in poll tax territory? scotland, sweden, people marching on the streets, it was a real issue for the streets, it was a real issue for the tory party. for boris johnson, the tory party. for boris johnson, the right people are across four prorogation. he'll be quite relaxed. that is not a badge of honour.m might bea that is not a badge of honour.m might be a political calculation. everything is a political calculation. the country is riven by brexit. there is political calculation, and then there is the right thing to do. just sitting back, having a brandy, he's got the right people. let's move on. we mentioned the queen earlier,
11:44 pm
christopher, the daily expresses saying she woke mejeremy corbyn. —— won't meet. the leader of the house of lords and someone else, they met, they form the privy council and agreed to prorogue parliament for five weeks with an extra week added on for good luck to keep mps five weeks with an extra week added on for good luck to keep mp5 from discussing or stopping a no—deal brexit, although that isn't approved by the government, that is what we think is going to happen. absolutely right. there are anjo swinson road into the queen saying please don't do it. —— wrote to the queen. it's tv gold, worth watching. stick to the point. they won't sue me the queen and they don't do it, your majesty —— they want to meet the
11:45 pm
queen. i find this interesting because i think next week mps will have a vote not to prorogue. i think you have an issue in parliament being set against the monarchy, never a good thing. also there are legal cases ongoing at the moment questioning this decision to prorogue the queen giving her consent and the high court in edinburgh will, i think at 10am tomorrow morning, that is being led byjoanna cherry, qc of the snp, there are going to be similar hearings in belfast, to gina miller is taking some of the legal action. so this whole issue about the queen getting involved, and i said earlier, there are rumours that number ten may advise the queen to not give royal assent to any piece of legislation. so seeing the monarch being dragged into politics, which is something that is not meant to happen in this country. what could she have done? exactly the queen has been put in a difficult position. not by the prime
11:46 pm
minister but by the jeremy corbyn... whose idea was that... answer the question. i wanted to take us to the ft because this is about what is going on between westminster and brussels and the possibility there will be more by way of regular discussions twice a week during september to hammer out a revised deal. we have been given rhetoric from number 10 about how we will magically get a deal. the point of all of this is the material facts have not changed. the eu have said they need to have something on the backstop. they may be prepared to have a wee tweak of it but they are clear about the backstop. boris johnson and dominic cummings have said there should not be any
11:47 pm
backstop, the drg did not want a backstop. it is fine to have all this language about meeting more regularly, have more copies, but this is not of the problem. the backstop issue seems quite insurmountable. they would say that. you think this is a negotiating tactic. this matter behaviour is exactly what you need to make the other side do something on a deal. what are they going to do? extract the backstop. they will not do that. it would mean a hard border. and they are not going to do that. this report byjohn they are not going to do that. this report by john parker, they are not going to do that. this report byjohn parker, they say brussels left disappointment but the lack of concrete detail offered by the british... what a surprise! really! i would say that the effort
11:48 pm
on no deal is to get a deal. we will learn if there is any meat behind this... a lot of brexiteers think what number 10 this... a lot of brexiteers think what numberio are this... a lot of brexiteers think what number 10 are up to is exactly the way to go. ruth davidson, an emotional farewell. the way to go. ruth davidson, an emotionalfarewell. this is a big blow. farewell, ruth davidson. she has been leader for eight years and fault a lot of elections. she became a mum, fantastically, ithink she wants to look after her child, be a good mum, a good partner. she signed off saying it has been a pleasure. she is a terrific addition and hope she comes back. she is still an mp.
11:49 pm
this is a big load to the conservatives and to the union as well because she was a strong and positive advocate in scottish politics for the union. i know a lot of people voted for the conservatives based on the strength of her personality but also the fact that she is a moderate and she hasn't said she has gone for personal reasons but we should not overlook the fact that she has been a very outspoken critic of boris johnson and she has been very much against a no—deal brexit. if you look... she has been very diligent but if you look at her record... she did not like boris johnson, but if you look at her record... she did not like borisjohnson, she backed sajid javid so this will be interesting as well to what happens to the conservative wing because they have had a lot of hope, a
11:50 pm
potential moderate leader down the track. the world picture exclusive is how the daily mirror is labelling this photograph taken in the year 2000. the president, the print and the paedophile is the headline. —— prince. prince andrew, donald trump, jeffrey epstein. it is an extraordinary picture. it has all the characters involved in one picture. a young prince andrew at the front. donald trump and if vania. the late jeffrey epstein and at the front maxwell. bringing all these into one focused the characters in this extraordinary and appalling story emerging in court, wee kly appalling story emerging in court, weekly in the us. these elements
11:51 pm
that keep emerging. this will be the pictures that the palace would absolutely be dreading because prince andrew eventually came out and tried to distance himself from geoffrey of stein and having any knowledge but that does not pass the swell test. —— jeffrey epstein. these pictures just show that these type of people, they were moving in the same circles, going to the same parties so this will put even more pressure on prince andrew and the palace these photographs are an absolute nightmare for the palace. we are going to have to call it a day. thank you both very much. much brexit chat, as anticipated. day. thank you both very much. much brexit chat, as anticipatedm day. thank you both very much. much brexit chat, as anticipated. it is my favourite topic! we will see you
11:52 pm
again soon. thank you for watching. good night. hello there, i'm gavin ramjaun, and this is your latest sports news. the draw for the champions league group stages has thrown up some exciting ties for the week's ahead. liverpool, the holders, will have a reunion with napoli, in group e. also in theirgroup, rb salzburg and genk. last season's losing finallists, tottenham, take on german champions, bayern munich, with 0lympiakos and red star belgrade — that's group b. premier league champions, manchester city, return to ukraine to face shakhtar. also in group c with them, dinamo zagreb, and atalanta, who are in the competition for the first time. chelsea, who are through courtesy of winning the europa league, have ajax, valencia and lille, in group h. four british teams involved in the europa league playoffs this evening. rangers left it very late to beat legia warsaw. a dramatic stoppage—time alfredo morelos goal,
11:53 pm
seeing them through. wolves are through as well, after a 2—1victory over torino. celtic also eased into the group stages, after thrashing aik in sweden. they won the second leg 4—1. lewis morgan with their final goal, sealing a 6—1win on aggregate. the win maintains celtic‘s record of reaching a european group stage every year since 2010. disappointment though for linfield, who are out. they lost 2—1 against qarabag in azerbaijan, losing out on away goals. linfield were aiming to become the first northern irish side to reach the europa league group stages. so confirmation of those scores there. linfield going out to qarabag, but celtic, rangers and wolves are through. gareth southgate has named his england men's squad for their upcoming euro 2020 qualifiers against bulgaria and kosovo. manchester united full—back, aaron wan—bissaka, and aston villa centre—back, tyrone mings, join the senior squad for the first time. so here is that squad in full then:
11:54 pm
three uncapped players. james maddison and mason mount are picked again. there are recalls for kieran trippier, alex 0xlaide chamberlain and harry winks but kyle walker, of manchester city, misses out, as does chelsea frontman, tammy abraham. we've got depth of talent now because we have approached it slightly differently, to look at younger players, it has increased the pool that we can pick from. it means that we lack some experience in a lot of positions but we have to keep evolving as a squad and as a team. we have had a two—year period of progress and constant improvement, i think but we can't stand still. england's lucy bronze has been named the uefa women's player of the year, while liverpool's, virgil van dijk, took the men's award. she is the first english winner, voted for by top coaches in the women's game, and journalists. she's been in action for england
11:55 pm
tonight as they took on belgium in a friendly. phil neville's side scored two goals in four minutes, through jodie taylor and this from beth mead. but the belgians responded with two of their own and then took the lead through ella van kerkoven, after some poor lionesses defending. england were given a lifeline from the penalty spot and nikita parris converted to make it 3—3, which is how it finished. unlike england, wales do have to qualify for the european championships in two years, and they started in the perfect way by winning 6—0 away at the faroe islands. they scored twice in the opening five minutes, with goals from natasha harding and emma jones. harding got her second from the penalty spot and the faroes scored an own goal before she sealed her hat—trick in style. wales added a sixth in injury time for a thumping win. to the us open then, at flushing meadow in new york, wherejohanna konta has made an impressive statement in her second—round match, easily beating the unseeded russian, margarita gasparyan. the british number one cruised to a 6—16—0 win in less than an hour. the other remaining
11:56 pm
british hopeful, dan evans, set up another grand slam meeting with roger federer by beating french 25th seed lucas pouille. he impressively took the opening two sets 6—4 6—3, then recovered with a 6—4 victory after losing his way in the third. that's all the sport for now. we saw 25 degrees on thursday in the south of england. 20 of sunshine and warmth but further north, it was more unsettled and outbreaks of rain and strong winds and that is how it is looking on friday. it would be a windy day across the north. brazier further south. 0utbreaks windy day across the north. brazier further south. 0utbrea ks of windy day across the north. brazier further south. outbreaks of rain becoming heavy and more persistent across scotland, northern england and north—west wales with winds reaching a0 miles per hour in exposure. further south chance of
