hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. amber rudd has quit the cabinet and conservative party saying

she cannot "stand by" while "loyal moderate conservatives are expelled". the conservative party i such a force for good government in this country no longer has a place for people who have different views on the european unit and i can stand for that. the european unit and i can stand for that. a spokesman for the prime minister's office said they are ‘disappointed' at mrs rudd's departure, ‘but all ministers who joined the cabinet signed up to leaving the eu on october 31st come what may. the number of people killed as a result of hurricane dorian in the bahamas has risen to a3. satellite images appear to show an iranian oil tanker off the syrian coast — after it was previously impounded in gibraltar.

welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us this evening. lovely to have you both here. we are going to take a look through the front pages any moment. first off, let's give you a little taster of what those front pages look like. the sunday times has their interview on that breaking news tonight, the headline there, exclusive. amber rudd resigned, boris to blakelaw for brexit. she also surrender the conservative whip. reports for of prince andrew having a row with some aids.

just a quick taster for the front of the express which leads with the threat from the prime minister to pa ralyse threat from the prime minister to paralyse the eu to avoid getting a battered extension but it is obviously the switches are breaking news tonight and it is where we are starting. it is the sunday times. the work and pensions secretary has resigned. martin, do you want to kick us up? i don't think anyone can say this is a good book for government to lose a cabinet minister, not just from government but from the political party, to resign the conservative whip. one has to ask the question, what on earth was amber but doing joining a government, signing up to a policy which was to leave, come what may, by the 31st of october. if she did not agree with that policy. i think the prime minister will feel somewhat let down. this is a really

strong statement. she talks about the short—sighted culling of the 21 senior tories who lost the whip last week for basically defying the government and called it an act of political vandalism that will damage the party's political vandalism that will damage the pa rty‘s chances. political vandalism that will damage the party's chances. talking about the party's chances. talking about the lack of consultation amongst cabinet ministers from the government, blaming it all on dominic cummings and describing it as outrageous that there has been no explanation of the decision to prorogued parliament. it is strong stuff, it has to be said. in a way that just sums up stuff, it has to be said. in a way thatjust sums up the maddest week i've ever known in british parliament. there have been issues in the past, fights within parties but i've never known anything like what we have seen in the last seven days. a week ago, we were told that

the government was strong, rejuvenated, was pushing ahead, and it has been a mess. you don't remember suez, do you? i was too young. my young. my parents were barely born. this culling of the 21 tory rebels. going back to last tuesday which actually, was only a few days ago but it seems like 300 years ago and this is when the 21 tory rebels including ken clarke decided that they would side with the opposition to seize control of the business of the house of commons from the government. well, thatis commons from the government. well, that is a pretty astonishing thing for any conservative mps to do and of course they had the whip withdrawn. i thought that was a reasonably justifiable move by numberten but the reasonably justifiable move by number ten but the truth is that it has turned out to be horrendously politically divisive. and it is not just provide, of course, who has resigned and gone butjoe johnson

has gone as well and you begin to speculate if there are to be any more. so that's a big problem. secondly, the consequence of all this, of course borisjohnson is absolutely... he has got a negative majority. philip lee, i think, crossed the house. he was the one that lost... also on tuesday. tuesday was the beginning and everything just began to crumble. it began to fall apart and he rather ostentatiously walked across the floor i think from the conservative party to the lib dems. it is when the majority of plus 1.2-1. and it is when the majority of plus 1.2—1. and then of course you lose the 21 rebels, now you have lost and provide as well, left the party. it is now —45. and if for some reason these independents including kenneth clarke and provides an everybody else, you begin to ask yourself how can this government actually function? how can it get legislation through the commons? it is going to

become more and more difficult. very, major questions, ithink. i think the article does hint at a number of mps who are thinking about... we have the interviewjust now he's talked about six cabinet ministers share her views, at least one is also considering quitting. of course, the gamers, who is that, then? someone might look at someone like nicky morgan who obviously is fairly strong in her views and went back into government as culture secretary. yes, she is. and she will be asked, will you follow? it will become... that doesn't help, does it? i think that the prime minister believed he was going to be able to show leadership and strength of character and he is going to be pushing through, but there seems to be collateral damage at every turn along the way and one knows not where we're going to end up this

next week. very quickly, talking about people leaving, one of her former colleagues, matt hancock, health and social care department, he has said into tweets that the latter one, gutted to see amberley but hope other one nation tories will stay and fight for the values that we share. which therefore implies that there isa which therefore implies that there is a genuine concern that people will follow her at the door. lam sure will follow her at the door. i am sure they do and have been other misjudgments, not least of all about the labour party was not they took the view that if they went for an early election the labour party would jump at it. just before we move on to our next paper, with such a large negative or such a negative majority, are the eu able to negotiate with the government with a negative majority? why not, it is still the government. whatever comes of it. barnier, the other day says paralysis.

in response to the resignation number ten or so that they are disappointed to learn that amber has chosen to leave the government and the party pulled up she was apparent to the talented welfare minister but all cabinets does not minister to joined up cabinet signed up to even the 31st of october come what may, delivering on the referendum result as the public were promised. let's turn to the front of the observer. we just need to point out this was the first one, the settlement does reflect the fact... that amber rudd has resigned. effectively it is this legal? as we head towards monday. yes. this was referring to the bill by hilary benn, the european union withdrawn numbersix benn, the european union withdrawn number six bill which went to the commons on wednesday, went to the lords yesterday and will get the ascent on monday. and of course, what that feels as is if no deal has been agreed by the commons, or no new deal agreed by the commons by

the 19th of october and the prime minister has to write to the european council asking for an extension. and the extension they suggest for the 315t ofjanuary but if the european council did not like the 315t of january if the european council did not like the 315t ofjanuary and came out with a different date and the prime minster would have to accept that so they might say 2021, who knows? but to cut a long story short this is a real bind for boris johnson because if he has to go to the european council and asked for an extension to the 315t ofjanuary we are not leaving the eu on the 315t of october. so he will have to think about that very hard. but breaking the law? i think this is a step too far. after all this it will need to get royal assent and he was to break the law? you cannot have our prime minister breaking the law that has gone to the houses of parliament. it is added to the sense of model and mass, doesn't it? ifind it

inconceivable. and, look, this is legal advice from lawyers. labour wa nt legal advice from lawyers. labour want us out there and they would do, wouldn't they? we thought they won an election until last week. the idea that potentially there would be a threat ofjail which is what we are talking about, the prime minster of the country. you never imagined we would be in this situation. it is possible that he needed to to resign rather than been forced into doing something he is utterly opposed to. before we move something boris could possibly do i want to throw a question to you. if boris is in a corner, his hand at being tired, we have got the courts been mentioned in the threat of this, that on the other. and it is all about no deal, do you get the sense when you look at what some of the other are saying that rather than trying to get a deal you're actually moving towards,

no, wejust deal you're actually moving towards, no, we just want article 50 without. i'm looking atjoe swinson here. angela smith has crossed from labour to the lib dems and she goes on and ends her tweet saying together we can stop brexit. that is the position of the lib dems. they've been honest. they had a sudden catch face, did they not come in european elections which i won't repeat because i don't want to upset the bbc, but i thought it was a very cheeky thing related to brexit. i think they are the honest oi'ies brexit. i think they are the honest ones because i think there are a lot of other mp5 on both the conservative and the snp, probably, the labour party who are talking about no deal under no circumstances but really this is a disguise, this isa but really this is a disguise, this is a pretext for trying to stop brexit altogether. this turned the sunday express. this isa this turned the sunday express. this is a get out ofjail possibility here for boris? the stories that he will use the eu's bill to try to not appoint a

new commissioner. and theoretically, i suppose, it would cause issues for the eu. i don't think theyjust ignore it, that's the problem. they would just get on with their own thing. the idea that we would try to destabilise the whole of europe, evenin destabilise the whole of europe, even in ardent brexiteer would not wa nt to even in ardent brexiteer would not want to cause fundamental damage to all the parts of government, but any threat is legitimate that when your backis threat is legitimate that when your back is against the wall inside me thatis back is against the wall inside me that is where we are. the government feels it is being forced into things against his will, clearly, as we saw last week. an unprecedented nature of events, spiralling out of control, we don't know where we are going to be. i'm trying to keep calm. i think this is a little bit over the top. i do think, and it was nick robson on newsnight the other night, suggesting there was a way possibly

that we will get thrown out of the european union if we do not appoint a commissioner because that would be breaking the rules of membership of the eu. that may yet come to pass. i mean, we've got the state upper, quite honestly, we don't know what is going to happen. very quickly, could you just summarise the front of the male and just quick thoughts on this headline, the story. prince andrew's venture with jeffrey epstein. that is the issue and other factors a re epstein. that is the issue and other factors are being rolled into that. a row between the duke of york and courtier not normally be a big story. it is a story because of something different. andrew kept his friendship with epstein after he came out ofjail for paedophilia. the royal household have issued a number of statements. what is sunday going to bring? goodness me. thank
