9:31 am
before the papers, sport and for a full round—up, good morning. dina asher—smith said the experience within the british women's sprint team was behind their success in last night's four by 100 metres relay, in which they won silver. the women were just edged into second place byjamaica. but it was a season's best time for britain, and it gave dina asher—smith her third medal of the competition — two silvers and that gold from the 200 metres. she and the team have been talking this morning to natalie pirks. we didn't practice any of those changes. they were all successful and we ran a really first time, so we crossed the line and we were like, look at that, silver medallists after a very minimal practice! it is testament to
9:32 am
our ha rd practice! it is testament to our hard work, individual ability, talent and experience. also the trust we have in each other. it is great to share a medal with these ladies. seeing their success over the years has really inspired me. i have really wanted to get involved. it is about how much you love each other, care for each other, and know that you can... you can be as fast as you like but if you don't have the bond, you are not getting it. we are proud of ourselves. 0n the bond, you are not getting it. we are proud of ourselves. on to tokyo. the men's quartet also won silver, setting a european record in the process — they were only beaten by a usa team that ran the second fastest race in history. laura muir missed out on a medal in the 1500 metres, finishing fifth behind winner sifan hassan, in what was a really quick race — in fact, muir's time was faster than the one which gave kelly holmes olympic gold in 200a. muir was caught with about 150 metres to go. hassan, who also won the 10,000 metres title, broke the championship record,
9:33 am
and was really emotional afterwards about the suspician hanging over her, after her coach alberto salazar was banned for doping offences. they think i don't get tested. i get are tested every time. they can test me every day if they want. they are welcome. i will be happy. i get such a hard time in this championships. i did like this here to show the world iam clean. i am always clean. i will be clean. britain's callum hawkins was only six seconds from a medal in the marathon, finishing fourth behind ethiopia's lelisa desisa. his brilliant performance came 18 months after he collapsed while leading the marathon at the commonwealth games. hawkins prepared for the conditions in doha in a garden shed with heaters bought from a supermarket. premier league champions manchester city are at home to wolves this afternoon — that's one of four games today. and they're now eight points behind liverpool, who extended their lead with a late
9:34 am
winner against leicester yesterday. nick parrott rounds up the action. a flare—up at full—time at anfield. 0n the face of it, you wouldn't know who'd won and who'd lost. perhaps it should have been a draw. liverpool controlled the first half, and took the lead thanks to sadio mane. leicester couldn't muster a shot on target until the 80th minute, butjames maddison made it count. then the moment that helped spark the ill feeling. the referee spotted marc albrighton‘s step on mane's foot and pointed to the penalty spot. the video assistant referee backed up the decision and james milner kept his composure to maintaining liverpool's perfect start to the season. we did a lot of good things, and winning again against a side like leicester, you all will be seeing that during the season. they will cause a lot of teams massive problmes and i expect them really in the top four. so, it was a big one. good. var was needed to separate
9:35 am
west ham united and crystal palace, too. they were drawing 1—1 with just minutes left, whenjordan ayew‘s goal was flagged offside. but the decision was overturned and the win moved palace into the top four. also on the up are big—spending aston villa. their team is starting to gel, and record signing wesley struck twice as they beat norwich 5—1. it saw them leapfrog the canaries, who dropped into the relegation zone. and just above them now are everton, who lost 1—0 at burnley. tottenham's difficult start of the season didn't get any better, as they lost 3—0 at brighton. and to make matters worse, their goalkeeper and captain hugo lloris will be out for a while after he dislocated his elbow. nick parrott, bbc news. the top two in the scottish premiership, celtic and rangers, play today. motherwell are still third, three points behind celtic after beating st mirren, and kilmarnock won at hearts — chris burke with the only goal. that leaves hearts two points off the bottom. the day's other matches ended in draws.
9:36 am
england women's manager phil neville said a fourth defeat in five games isn't acceptable. they were beaten 2—1 by brazil in a friendly in middlesbrough. debinha scored both of brazil's goals — the first a goalkeeping error by mary earps. unlucky again for the second which found its way in via a deflection beth england lifted the crowd with her first international goal. but having beaten brazil a year ago, and again in february, frustration this time for phil neville. we kept going to the very end. 0ur play at times was some of the best football i have seen us play for a long time. now we are in that period where things are probably not going for us where they were 12 months ago. we have to stick together and believe what we are doing is right. england were the first team through to the quarterfinals of the rugby world cup, thanks to victory over argentina. france can join them there with a win over tonga this morning.
9:37 am
they are currently leading 17—5. new zealand are all but through — they ran in 11 tries to beat namibia, tj perenara, with the try of the game — some are saying the try of the tournament so far. he started it and finished it, with some great off—loading in between. talk about operating in tight space! 71—9 it finished. top flight rugby league will be played in north america for the first time, after canadian side toronto wolfpack beat featherstone rovers to win promotion to the super league. formed in 2016, with the aim of reaching super league within five years, toronto have achieved it injust three. spain's marc marquez has won the world motogp title for the sixth time, after a thrilling victory at the thai grand prix. he needed to win at least two points more than his closest rival to clinch it — and he did so, storming to victory in a heart—pounding final corner duel with fabio quartararo. marquez was taken to hospital after a crash in practice on friday, and he crashed again in qualifying, but there were no signs of any
9:38 am
problems, as he took the title for the fourth time in a row, with four races to spare. great britain's women gymnasts are guaranteed a place at next year's olympic games, thanks to their performance at the world championships in stuttgart, where they've reached the team final. but there was no doubting the star of the show — the american simone biles performed two original skills, becoming the first woman to complete a triple—double move on floor, and then a double—double dismount on the beam. both moves will be named after her. 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 the sun on sunday's political editor david
9:39 am
wooding, and journalist and author shyama perera. let's ta ke a look at the front pages. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the telegraph says ministers are discussing plans which could see borisjohnson veto the eu's budget and send a eurosceptic commissioner to brussels if the prime minister is forced into a brexit delay. the sunday times says borisjohnson will dare the queen to sack him rather than resign as prime minister, in order to drive through brexit. the observer leads on a claim that leading tabloid newspapers ta rgetted prince harry and his friends over many years. the express carries a warning from the prime minister that he'll take the uk out of the eu on october 31st, unless brussels agrees to a compromised deal. the mail on sunday goes with the duchess of sussex‘s father explaining why he made parts of a private letter from his daughter public.
9:40 am
the daily star on sunday says storms and torrenital downpours could batter the uk for the next three months. the sunday mirror has an interview with the actor and former footballer vinnie jones, his first since the death of his wife from cancer. and the independent leads on an exclusive saying that voters are losing faith in borisjohnson‘s ability to get a brexit deal. tonnes of brexit to wade through, starting with the sunday telegraph. johnson to sabotage eu if forced delay brexit. it could cause havoc. absolutely. compared here to a nuclear weapon being shot into the heart of the asteroid. borisjohnson would go in and basically say, we have got of the veto and we can veto the next seven years of the eu budget. now what are you going to do about it? it is quite interesting. it feels gung ho and quite fun
9:41 am
for a sunday morning. i can't imagine he would do that. that would be so disruptive. and counter productive to us, i would have thought. this is about the various plans boris johnson and his team are looking at to try to get around the bend bill —— the hilary benn bill. hilary benn's law which compels him to put a letter into the eu asking for an extension of article 50, therefore delaying brexit, if he does not get a deal by october 17. one of the ways he is going to try to circumvent that is a campaign of civil -- circumvent that is a campaign of civil —— of disobedience, basically. warning the eu, this is what will happen if you don't keep us in. therefore, they will not grab the extension when they ask for it. they will veto the seven—year budget, tying it up in knots. if they don't appoint a european commissioner, by law the european union has to have one commissioner for each of the 28
9:42 am
countries as there are now. if britain doesn't nominate one, no business can be done. the other option is to send a heavily eurosceptic person in there to make mischief. possibly nigel farage. he has offered to go, hasn't he? yes, on civil disobedience, that is what it would be if it was in the chamber. what i am puzzled by though, and! chamber. what i am puzzled by though, and i am puzzled by so much of it these days, is that in one breath of the prime minister is talking about the need for collaboration, for compromise, and yet we have got all these threats being issued? part of it is, and maybe i am misunderstanding and i still buy that kind of folklore sense of boris johnson, still buy that kind of folklore sense of borisjohnson, but i always feel that he just loves playing with the problem, looking at it from all sides, causing disruption internally and externally. what you can never tell is when he is serious and when he is not. in one where it feels
9:43 am
quite clever and in another very unsettling. he has been quite conciliatory in his language in recent days. that is not boris johnson's language. that is briefings. i think the pieces he has written for the sun on sunday and the sunday express today are very much holding out a hand of friendship, saying, we wanted to do a deal with you. yes, he does say that prudence dictates we have to have a hard brexit, but actually ideally we need to find a deal. his speech in manchester at the conservative party conference was quite emollient in many ways. there isa quite emollient in many ways. there is a slight mixture in towns. it is the first inside the velvet glove. even when his tone is, if you like, even more placatory, nonetheless what he is saying is still quite incendiary. the sunday express, boris, mps do back my new brexit
9:44 am
deal. we will be packing our bags and walking out on october 31, no more dither, no more delay. this is the deal we have seen foot forward —— the idea we have seen put forward this week to replace theresa may's agreement, and the pivotal bit is how northern ireland is couched in that proposal? yes. the interesting thing here is apart from the prime minister underlining the fact that britain is going to leave in 25 days, he is still saying it, so he's boxing himself in, painting himself into a corner if he doesn't do it. the consequences if we don't leave on halloween will be severe. however, he is saying also that there is a great hint in there that he has got to be numbers in parliament, mps of all parties, leave, remain, left,
9:45 am
right, conservative, labour, prepared to back the deal. the only problem is he believes he can get the deal through parliament but he now needs to win over the eu. will you need the vote of mps first to go to brussels? i don't think you will do that. if he does that, and some of the labour mps are a bit scared of losing the whip, they might back off. if he loses thatvote event loses his bargaining with brussels. the dup need to go carefully on this as well. because they are going to lose everything. the proposal is that the whole of the island of ireland would remain in the single market but northern ireland would come out of the customs union. exactly. we have been hearing a lot of noise from northern ireland this week reminding us that the vote there was for remain. arlene foster
9:46 am
going ahead with this is not only putting her party in danger, but could change the whole make—up of northern ireland, the political make—up, which might be quite nice. stormont is not sitting but would be required to vote on this every four yea rs. required to vote on this every four years. the sunday times, sack me if you dare, johnson will tell the queen. really? he hasjust had to apologise recently for a prorogue in parliament unlawfully. —— parole going. is this a genuine quote? what it is is, the sunday times have reduced what is happening at the moment to the fact if he does not resign the only way of changing this is for the queen to sack him. they have said that is the day that is being put to the queen by boris but behaviour, not boris the man. how
9:47 am
can shejump? i behaviour, not boris the man. how can she jump? i think the queen basicallyjust says, yes. it is like whenjacob basicallyjust says, yes. it is like when jacob rees—mogg was basicallyjust says, yes. it is like whenjacob rees—mogg was explaining to go in to ask about prorogation, and you just say, i would like to prorogue parliament for five weeks, and the response is supposed to be, that's all right. presumably it is the same here. this is aimed at the alliance of remainers. lib dems, labour mps alliance of remainers. lib dems, labourmps and alliance of remainers. lib dems, labour mps and hard—core block brexit tories, who are tying boris johnson in knots with all these laws and procedural ploys and legal challenges. he is basically saying, one of the things they don't want to do is have a general election. if they have a general election before brexit, borisjohnson will probably, he feels, increases majority. thereby being able to deliver brexit. people don't want to allow him to have the general election before he has extended. 0ne him to have the general election before he has extended. one of the ploys they have is a vote of
9:48 am
no confidence and then a government of national unity. national unity? yes! put someone like ken clarke or mike harriet harman in charge. 0r make even the speaker. he is quite a divisive figure! if that happens he will go to the queen and he won't offer his, he will, he won't offer his resignation, he will say, there isn't anybody else i can recommend to be prime minister. it is in the gift of the prime minister of the day to recommend who should succeed him. he will not recommend jeremy corbyn as having the confidence of the house. he will say to the queen, recommend you dissolve parliament and call a general election. that is the challenge is to sack him. if she disagrees, no manner because disagreed with the pm of the day for 300, 400 years, disagreed with the pm of the day for 300,400 years, she disagreed with the pm of the day for 300, 400 years, she would have to say, you are going, i'm going to sack you. there was a story of the week that she had been asking for advice on this. whether or not
9:49 am
it is true is another matter. speaking of advice to members of the royal family, here is the observer. prince harry, tabloids have been hacking friends for 20 years. it says here his cases against the sun and the mirror. of course it is against the use mirror. of course it is against the use of the world and the mirror. this is part of a website that his name is on, a list of names of people bringing a new case. he is pa rt of people bringing a new case. he is part of a group, it is a group action. what would be interesting to know is the other members of the group. ilike know is the other members of the group. i like that for salacious reasons. i want to know who he has been talking to and how they have been talking to and how they have been preparing it. he doesn't have to take it further. they now have a period of grace to think about whether they want to take it further and what we have to wait and see is whether the prince will be happy to stand ina whether the prince will be happy to stand in a court and
9:50 am
state publicly what he has alleging here in private. this is the first stage, this is the first stage. one of the other papers is saying that he has beeniu other papers is saying that he has been ill advised to get involved in this? any royal who is going to have to stick their neck out in public, becomes a target. and for the very people that he is pursuing. if i we re people that he is pursuing. if i were an adviser i would be saying, go carefully, young man, because actually most of the time they have loved you and it's swings and roundabouts, things can reverse. on the other hand, if it is a burning principle that really has enraged him, maybe he is willing to risk everything. dave, you work for the sun on sunday, previously with the news of the world before it folded. this is widening the scope of this issue, isn't it? yes, there is some dismay in the newspaper industry that have this has happened, without a doubt. when the royals were hacked by the news of the world there was a
9:51 am
criminal investigation and people we re criminal investigation and people were sent to prison. a newspaper was closed. many innocent people were thrown out of work. now what prince harry is doing now is taking a civil action out against the owners of the news of the world, which also happens to be the owners of the sun, which didn't hack any funds. and the daily mirror, which has had masses of civil actions against it no criminal investigation so far.|j think what's interesting really is that any memberof think what's interesting really is that any member of the royal family has decided to take on the press. particularly as we have also got, we are not looking at it this morning, but the mail on sunday is trying to defend itself against the allegation that it should not have published a private letter from meghan markle to her father, so there private letter from meghan markle to herfather, so there is private letter from meghan markle to her father, so there is some sort of feeling of wrongdoing and correction being needed. the question i think we will all be asking ourselves on the way to court and afterwards
9:52 am
is, was this the correct way? is this the correct way to seek redress? the sunday telegraph, ministers... this is the so—called vip paedophile ring. the man who made the allegations is in prison. yes, carl beech has been jailed allegations is in prison. yes, carl beech has beenjailed for about 18 yea rs, beech has beenjailed for about 18 years, because of his fantasy of a vip paedophile ring. yes, the questions are now being asked about senior police officers in this enquiry. people lower down the food chain seem to have taken the wraps on it. bernard hogan howe, the commissioner at the time, has got the spotlight turned on him. and the telegraph are looking at cressida dick, dame cressida dick, the current gibraltar police commissioner, who seems to have
9:53 am
dodged any criticism. there is a suggestion to be called by the home affa i rs suggestion to be called by the home affairs select committee. yes, because she could have stepped in at some point and said, hang on, let's have a closer look. if you are running a large organisation it is very easy to delegate to your commissioners and your chief superintendents and whatever. but when there is something raging like this, one would have expected a commissioner to get down and look at that paper work and to ask some intelligent questions. i think the question here is, did she do enough as the chief to see how this investigation was being carried out, and whether it was correctly carried out? the buck has to stop at the top. it absolutely has to. page seven, the mail on sunday. this appeals to me, there's a story. pa rents appeals to me, there's a story. parents hired tutors to help them do homework. a shaky grasp of maths and science for parents these days because it is taught so
9:54 am
differently. yes, i remember when because it is taught so differently. yes, i rememberwhen i because it is taught so differently. yes, i remember when i was doing my homework myself and the way i used to add up or mike long division was donein to add up or mike long division was done ina to add up or mike long division was done in a different way to my mum and dad. i had the same issue myself and dad. i had the same issue myself and my son came home from school, i had to build a bridge out of spaghetti. we were up all day with spaghetti, bits all over the carpet, glue everywhere, we couldn't do it. the reason he didn't know how to do it was because —— because he probably didn't listen and lesson! the only brush we had with spaghetti was my older daughter when she was doing gcse art, she did a whole page of pictures made with spaghetti. she said, i have only got another 50 to do for my portfolio. i remember bringing up the school and saying, ta ke bringing up the school and saying, take her off gcse art. she is utterly talentless. it has taken a weekend to do a page of spaghetti, ta ke weekend to do a page of spaghetti, take her off gcse art!
9:55 am
there are so many teaching resources online these days. i can work out a lot of it for myself. do you do your kids homework? helping them. today we shall be looking at the present tense, regular french verbs. she may not even be up next. let's finish with the sunday times. george has a ball at first game. the aston villa fans. this picture is great for dads. we talk about the homework. that is the downside of having kids. taking your kids to the football for the first time, i have got a picture of my own son like that with a similargrin, a tooth of my own son like that with a similar grin, a tooth missing. with granddad in his first liverpool hat and scarf. that must be a wonderful day. they won 5—1. that is the one thing you can never guarantee when you take your kids to the football for the first time, that
9:56 am
they win. do you think it is addictive now because of the win? what would have happened if they had lost? dad, why did you bring me up to be in aston villa fan? it is the hope that kills you. that's it for the papers. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. you can watch the programme on the iplayer. thank you both. lovely to see you. coming next, the weather. hello. it has been a soggy start to sound across northern and eastern parts of the uk. as we head into the afternoon, the heaviest of the rain becomes confined to eastern england and for east anglia, lincolnshire and for east anglia, lincolnshire and east anglia with heavy rain and the risk of minor flooding and some atrocious conditions on the roads. this weather front is the culprit.
9:57 am
it has always been stationary across the north and the east of the country. becoming more confined to the south—east. for scotland a slow improvement in the afternoon. we should see dry weather developing. a few showers across the west and the east, where it remains blustery. there is the heavy rain from lincolnshire into east anglia, which could cause further issues. for much of northern ireland, for wales, the south—west of england, some good spells of sunshine bar a few showers, particularly towards the midlands. it turns windier as well as this sedentary low develops in the south—east, windy for central and southern england and wales. given the sunshine in the south—west we should see 16 or 17 degrees. feeling cooler where you have the strong wind across the east coast. dry for a while tonight. then the next frontal system pushes into western areas and the rain will be quite heavy but also strong winds,
9:58 am
severe gales across the north—west of scotland. tied in with this area of scotland. tied in with this area of low pressure you can see tiny packed isobars, the reason for the gales and the severe gales. the weather front slowly pushing its way east. it will tend to weaken and fragment as it reaches much of england and wales but it is still going to bring a cloudy and damp day. white breezy. the heaviest rain further north. into the afternoon sky is brighton. —— brighton opera. further south, a blustery 00:28:35,1000 --> 00:28:36,658 day. temperature wise a few degrees down on what we have had at the weekend. 15 celsius. an unsettled day on monday and it looks like it will remain unsettled for the rest of this week. 0ften windy. winds coming in from the atlantic. temperature is around the seasonal average. spells of rain followed by sunshine and showers. it is not all doom and gloom.
