frustrated, you wanted to in each with me —— engage with me, but i am not having them talk to me like that on the court. one week after shamed athletics coach alberto salazar received a 4 year ban for dopng violations, the performance director of uk athletics, neil black, has announced that he'll step down from the role at the end of the month. uk athletics appointed salazar as a consultant to its endurance programme in 2013. here's our sports editor, dan roan, speaking to bbc radio 5live. yesterday, having just led britain to their worst tally of metals at a world championship in 14 years, black himself admitted his future was uncertain in the wake of the salazar scandal, that's cast a shadow over the sport here now as well as in the us. and today, perhaps a little quicker than expected, the governing body, uk athletics, confirmed that the head of performance would be stepping down later this month. it was black after all who was the man that appointed alberto salazar as a consultant to his endurance squad in 2013, describing the coach as a genius. but two years later,
10:41 pm
his judgement was fiercely called into question, of course, when those allegations of wrongdoing by salazar were first made in that bbc panorama documentary, which triggered an investigation by the us anti—doping agency. plans to transform women's cricket have been revealed today, with the ecb announcing 50 million pounds of investment over the next five years, in a bid to make the sport more gender—balanced, in england and wales. the money will help fund a0 new full—time professional contracts, and help grow all areas of the women's game. three young players of cricket coming through in the of this massive opportunity to go in their intrinsic professional and see how good they can be. i am massively excited and it is a huge opportunity for them and i hope these young girls come through and really push the sport forward and keep trying to build on it.
10:42 pm
that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are anna mikhailova, deputy political editor at the daily telegraph and the broadcaster, david davies. brexit, brexit and more brexit for you in this edition. think of it as fibre, annoyng but oh so healthy, because i guarantee you wll be up to date with all the latest shenanigins on both sides of the channel, and able to hold your
10:43 pm
at any dinner party. so let's start with the telegraph, leading with comments from allies of the prime minister, that a brexit deal is "essentially impossible" after a phone call between the borisjohnson and the german chancellor angela merkel. that call between the two leaders is also covered in the express. it says mrjohnson criticised the eu in the call, saying brussels was making "impossible" demands. the same story makes the front page of the metro. it reports that downing street and eu leaders are trying to pin the blame on each other, as the prospect of a brexit breakthrough fades. borisjohnson is urging irish prime minister leo varadkar to keep talking, in order to keep hopes of a brexit deal alive. that's according to the financial times. and, as 356,000 people sign a petition to improve dementia care, the newspaper calls on the prime minister not to ignore their demands. so, brexit dominating most of today's front pages, let's see what our reviewers make
10:44 pm
of it all. and indeed, your take on all of this front page of the telegraph, brexit deal essentially impossible. how come? that is a quote obviously from number ten source that came out today. this morning, everything got a bit dramatic when borisjohnson had a phone call with angela merkel. if you listen to the german side, it was along the lines of what they've been negotiating to date and nothing out of the ordinary, they said. where is a number ten source gave this very, very aggressive quote saying that angela merkel made demands of changing the nature of what they were asking for in the things that she was saying about the downing street was proposing made a deal essentially impossible. this
10:45 pm
week is a crucial week, it is the last chance to get any kind of new agreement, a change to the theresa may withdrawal agreement and the backstop. this is where they were meant to go into the tunnel and knock out a deal. since the end of last week when the prime minister presented his plans to the eu, they have not gone through the tunnel and today downing street has really hit back. it is interesting, talking to david now and downing street. it is a source. what is that? just occasionally, a little longer in the tooth, very much longer in the tooth then you guys who have worked in the lobby at westminster and downing street, smell a rather large
10:46 pm
lobby at westminster and downing street, smella rather large rat lobby at westminster and downing street, smell a rather large rat and you have used a downing street source. you have used a downing street source. i thought the downing street source source. i thought the downing street source was put out to in the old days, spokespersons and all the rest of it. here we have this contradicted version from germany and you have the germans saying that this change in policy there is no change, and the of the whole day until tea—time where some are saying this is the end and it's all coming to the end and on the dramatic is changed but not much is changed at all and by the end today, we had boris is going off to meet with them in dubliner vice versa later in the week and they still think there
10:47 pm
might be deal. and in brussels, that they're going to keep talking and how many people have actually set that right at the death of all of this? a deal might come? perhaps they are wrong, but we are a long way from do or die. they picked up on the whole machine of downing street and it has gone back to before alastair campbell, before they professionalize the operation creating this, they did very much exist and perhaps we have had with the official spokespeople as well, there is this source. have they been saying the same thing? no. they cannot really comment on the source. you are right and when the leo call
10:48 pm
happened we got the readout from both sides and you have the british official version of what happened, you get the irish, there very much on the same page and it is, is there going to be a further source and there was not. so it is changed the game. how has it changed the game, are they following the crumbs that been left by this source. which is com pletely been left by this source. which is completely changing the nature of the debate. brexit deal now is essentially impossible.” the debate. brexit deal now is essentially impossible. i think it is setting a marker. this quote that was issued today which went to the bbc. absolutely, yeah, yeah. that was intentional. to great success, the source. ifi
10:49 pm
was intentional. to great success, the source. if i was the source by tea—time, i would say it's i—0 the source. if i was the source by tea—time, i would say it's 1—0 to the uk in the blame game. because all of the usual suspects reacted as expected. but the thing they're trying to do with this is, it is not about the pure spokesman rather than informing us was going on which is what the official thing does, is about spending that sending a message to the eu, it is super high sta kes message to the eu, it is super high stakes right now and it is justified as well that the eu is looking at what boris johnson as well that the eu is looking at what borisjohnson has offered them and is looking at his biggest card and is looking at his biggest card and all of this and that he can leave with no deal, that is been damaged but by the 19th of october if we cannot agree on a deal, we
10:50 pm
have to ask for an extension, that has, i had someone from downing street tell me that the student is that happened they started talking to the uk changed, the way he started talking to the uk. however you judge with the did in the reasons for it and a lot in good faith, it is certainly i am intrigued by this how does anyone in downing street, whether it was a spokesperson or whatever they are seriously expect europe to react to a deal that is conditional on the northern ireland government every four years agreeing to it when there is not a northern ireland government and there has not been for several years now. let's go onto the next paper, are going around for the hope ofa paper, are going around for the hope of a brexit deal is more distant
10:51 pm
than ever, stop playing stupid blame games. we are reaching the stage where it is your fault no, it is your fault. they are very rightly, prominently playing the blame game which is donald tusk on this immediately sank about this is that it's immediately a blame game. neither side, if we do get to the point where it is impossible as they we re point where it is impossible as they were claiming today, neither side wa nts to were claiming today, neither side wants to be the one that says it cannot work. eventually, something has to work and let's assume that it doesn't end there is no deal and there is a general election. and boris wins a majority, and overall majority which would be difficult to achieve but it is certainly possible. is there going to be a deal? what happens then? is ill and
10:52 pm
thinking beyond the 31st? we did have a big indication of that last night from another downing street brief which almost everyone has assumed comes from dominic, the chief of staff and the spectator literally just did not chief of staff and the spectator literallyjust did not even write it up, likea literallyjust did not even write it up, like a blog post. and that is the strongest indicator that we have had today of the strategy and their plans. basically be minded. in an election, we're going to come in for no deal and it is the shifting to that position which we are hoping is heard in brussels things right, if you have an extension, maybe that means a different government. downing is trying to hammer home that if an election happens, they
10:53 pm
will move into no deal and they are going to come back according to the majority and that means there is no second referendum. if they're trying to send that signal. a quick look at the front pages, the rod number ten, ignoring threats 50,000 signed opposition to the end the dementia ca re opposition to the end the dementia care scandal. what is interesting with all the other papers talking about brexit, here is the mail talking about mrs michael gove, very much at the fore in the campaign about dementia and this is the daily mail's the voices of 356,000 daily male readers being heard in downing street. this isjust a reflection, again, of the failure of successive governments to address this issue and you can be short when the general election comes later this year that this sort of dealing with
10:54 pm
dementia, scandal as it is referred to, understandably, will be right at the heart of boris campaign. so many leadership candidates ran on the platform that they're going to make social care priority. it is an absolute travesty that we have had nothing, no policy, nothing long—term and nothing has been more important than brexit. so much as been put on the back burner, we're going to get a queen speech with no judges involved. it has happened and we are going to be back on monday for this. a queen speech, how exciting. i am very excited. i think the mail, very admirably, is putting this on the front page. put this in the queen speech, do not forget
10:55 pm
about this. finally over going to the back pages of the express. this is the england football team the previous boss executive, supreme, i don't know. ibec if there is abuse on the pitch, they will leave the field. the one thing i was proud of and many other things in my time in foot ball and many other things in my time in football was the small role in setting up the ticket out football against racism campaign and yes, our players and other players both at home and particularly abroad, particularly eastern europe was a very real issue and the whole, you never knew how far you should take it. we have had players in those
10:56 pm
days who thought they should walk off, managers would sometimes not be so off, managers would sometimes not be so happy because they thought would you for really back to him if he came to it. i am pretty clear that i have come around to the view that they should walk off and the political pressure in this generation on ua for and others is substantially greater. at the end of the day it is spreading value. trying to get people to look at things differently and do the right things differently and do the right thing and walking off, it has to be done. we will leave it there. that's it for the papers this hour. anna mikhailova, who's the deputy political editor at the daily telegraph, and the broadcaster, david davies will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers, and don't forget
10:57 pm
you can see the front pages and david, and we'll all be back for that second review the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — seven days a week at bbc dot co uk forward slash papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to anna and david, and we'll all be back for that second review in about a0 minutes from now. but for the moment, goodbye. hello there. it has been very u nsettled hello there. it has been very unsettled with a lot of showers around, particularly some heavy showers reaching eastern areas with some rumbles of thunder at times. stand and thanks to the low pressure get to the north of the uk across the country, bands of showers moving west to east in these areas of low pressure could bring more prolonged terrain to places for thursday and friday. like i mentioned though, temperatures are going to be too
10:58 pm
cold because we are importing this airoff the cold because we are importing this air off the new continent. across southern england and wales, this will continue to tomorrow morning and for the west, lots of showers giving longer spots of rain, sports of england should stage a try with some salt to him explosive sunshine but reaching around 13 or maybe a0 miles an hour, temperatures not quite as hot as it does to 17 and 18, lots of showers again blustery and particularly across scotland and northern ireland but some central parts should stay dry with lengthy clear skies and temperatures dipping down to six to 10 degrees. so for thursday, we have the next low pressure system moving in and that is going to bring a weather front that will have more organised rain in itand that will have more organised rain in it and the northwest of the country, that is more persistent rainfor country, that is more persistent rain for northern ireland and scotla nd rain for northern ireland and scotland and parts of northwest
10:59 pm
england maybe some shower reports of rain in the southwest comes as an eastern areas could stay dry although the sunshine will be hazy because it will be quite a bit of cloud around. temperatures around the mid teens in the north and the low pressure still with us on friday thomas unsettled week with tangled weather front bringing in outbreaks of rain possibly to the north and another one moving south across england and wales and being quite heavy through the day and some sunshine around two and another windy day, particularly with this weather front across the south but fairly mild where teddy make air. staying inside of the weekend as well, shadows stick by when you place, a lipid above the seasonal average especially across england and wales. that is always looking good night.
11:00 pm
this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00: a downing street source says a brexit deal is now "essentially impossible" following a phone call between borisjohnson and germany's chancellor. now borisjohnson is preparing for crunch talks with his irish counterpart later this week. i think it's going to be very difficult to secure an agreement by next week, quite frankly. very much wa nt next week, quite frankly. very much want there to be a deal and they certainly work until the very last moment to secure that. but not at any moment to secure that. but not at a ny cost. the parents of this ten—year—old boy who died after contracting hiv from contaminated blood products almost 30 years ago tell the public inquiry of their heartbreak. the impact of knife crime on its victims. more than 20,000 were injured last year alone and for many the trauma continues. a housing estate in norwich,
