on so called "party houses", after 5 people were shot dead in san francisco at a property booked through its website. before the papers, sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here'sjohn watson. no silverware at the rugby world cup yesterday, but lewis hamilton could deliver some today. the us grand prix takes place this evening and by the end of it he could be formula one world champion for the sixth time. nick parrott reports. a sixth formula one world title is almost in lewis hamilton's hands. only mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas can keep him waiting. but the finn has his work cut out because he must win in austin or it's all over. in a colder than usual texas, he kept the heat on in qualifying, claiming pole position at the circuit of the americas for the first time. this is one of hamilton's favourite tracks, having won here more

than anyone else. but he could do no better than fifth, more than a quarter of a second off the pace. obviously not great. but it is what it is. we have another day to fight tomorrow. so just try and focus towards tomorrow. valtteri did a greatjob. so congratulations to him. it should be a fun day. there's all the possibility still in the world. so that's it. even if bottas wins, hamilton will become champion if he finishes eighth. it would see him move above juan manuel fangio in the all—time list. next season he could equal michael schumacher‘s seven titles and surpass his 91 race wins. and he already has more pole positions than anyone else. already one of the greats, hamilton may go on to become the greatest of all. nick parrott, bbc news. former england winger mark cueto says this england team may never get a better chance to win a world cup than the opportunity which missed

against south africa in yokohama yesterday. they went down 32 points to 12, in what was their world cup final appearnce since losing to south africa in paris in 2007. the frustrating thing for me, in 2007 we are busily got beaten in the final, i think we actually did well to get to the final considering what happened prior. this team will never have a better opportunity to win a world cup. on paper, they are the best tea m world cup. on paper, they are the best team that england has had for a long time. the performance against new zealand was at the best most com plete new zealand was at the best most complete performance we have seen forever probably. i don't think it will hit home. even for me, it sounds ridiculous but it is 12 years on, the first time that england have got her world cup final yesterday since 2007. i was sat in the kitchen and it brought back some crazy memories and it almost sank in a couple more inches for me.

england's cricketers came out on top in their world cup final in the summer. but lost the second match of their twenty20 series to new zealand overnight. chasing a target of 177, england were 3 for 2 afterjust eight balls. dawid malan their top scorer, with 39 as they lost by 21 runs. it means the five game series is now level at 1—1, the next match takes place in the early hours of tuesday morning. england will be disappointed that they lost today, i think at halfway with the short boundaries and the nature of the wicket being even paste and the ease that the other tea m paste and the ease that the other team were able... with losing two wickets in two overs and two important players who did well in the previous game, it proved too much for england. late goals in the premier league yesterday for title rivals liverpool and manchester city who both won. liverpool taking on aston villa, were a goal down after trezeguet struck midway

through the first half. liverpool didn't equalise until the 87th minute through andy robertson. and then in the fifth minute of added time sadio mane won it. we played a bit too much here, but too much there. it was not really the right moment to finish it off. we didn't shoot from, like 18—20 yards, not really. we still try to pass the ball here and there. we had our moments but we are really not clear, not clinical enough. southampton an early goal. james ward prowse wasn't missing that. but sergio aguero equalised and then defender kyle walker won it late on. so city remain six points behind leaders liverpool, manager pep guardiola is well aware of the threat liverpool pose to his side this season and their ability to come back and win matches. it happened many times and liverpool have done that in the last years.

sometimes it is this talent to score incredible goals in the last minute, he isa incredible goals in the last minute, he is a talent so like what happened in the past few seasons it takes a special character to do that. chelsea manager frank lampard says the premier league is in a "really dangerous place" with var after they beat watford 2—1, christian pulisic with their second. his comments relate to this incident, a penalty which wasn't awarded by the referee, but was then overturned by var. he said there's no consistency to how it's being used. celtic are into the scottish league cup final after beating hibs 5—2 at hampden park. captain scott brown with two goals, celtic face the winners of today's other semi final between rangers and hearts. in the scottish premiership yesterday, there were wins for aberdeen and motherwell. history was made last night as ireland's katie taylor became a world champion in two weight divisions with a unanimous points victory over christina linardatou. it was the first time the olympic gold medallist has stepped up to the super—lightweight division. she now owns all four

lightweight belts and now this one a division higher. it was an emotional farewell for anthony crolla who was contesting his final professional fight. he beat spain's frank urkiaga in front of a home crowd at manchester arena. the former wba lightweight champion did seem overwhelmed at times during the opening rounds but did enough to win a majority decision. rory mcilroy has won the world golf championship in shanghai after a play—off. mcilroy beat the defending champion xander schauffele after the pair were tied at 19 under par after four rounds. in the first play—off hole mcilroy‘s birdie was enough to secure his fourth title of the year after the american could only make par. and great britain's hockey teams are a step close to playing at next summer's tokyo olympics with victories in the first legs of their qualifying play offs. the women, the defending olympic champions, beat chile 3—0 at lee valley in london. while the men came from a goal down to beat malaysia 4—1. the second legs of both matches

take place later today. more nervy for ireland's women though, they need to win their second leg with canada after the first one finished 0—0. that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, here's ben brown with the papers. hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are sian griffiths, education editor for the sunday times and the political commentatorjames millar. let's take a quick look at today's front pages — which are dominated by either politics or yesterday's rugby world cup final. the observer leads with the news that the conservatives plan to set up an emergency unit to ensure that the nhs doesn't

become an electoral liability for the party. the sunday times says mrjohnson is facing a corbyn bounce. it also features a photo of a dejected looking billy vunipola in a bloodied shirt after england lost to south africa in the rugby world cup.the sunday telegraph reports that members of thejewish community are so fearful of a corbyn government that they will leave the uk if he becomes prime minister. the sunday express carries an interview with borisjohnson on its front page. he says voters should back him in order to get brexit done. the sunday mirror condemns photos of the body of amelia baingbridge who died whilst backpacking can be found online. and the mail on sunday reveals that prince charles is at the centre of an art scandal after it was claimed a painting was a forgery, and not a £50 million monet.

let's kick off with the observer. they say that tories act to prevent an nhs crisis. this is partly because we have this unusual december election, the first for almost a century and traditionally the nhs has real trouble in the middle of winterfull the nhs has real trouble in the middle of winter full stop absolutely, in this story, leaders of the british medical association are saying that the nhs is hurtling towards a crisis this winter and the story is about the fact that the conservatives have been holding meetings because there has been lengthening delays because of shortages of doctors and nurses. they have also done some polling and they found that more voters were

concerned with nhs over brexit. with those kind of headlines in the papers and the television, there was one where borisjohnson went to a hospital and was confronted in the corridor by a distraught father who had been waiting with a sick baby overnight he still hadn't been seen and that is really bad publicity for the tories and they are trying to avoid it. boris johnson has done lots of appearances in hospitals and is trying to make the nhs are quite central. do you think this will be more than a brexit election, issues like the nhs will be central? exactly, this is why people like jeremy corbyn are happel lee mack are happy to have an election because —— are happy to have an election. because it is talking about things other than brexit. i think it is interesting that you can see the shape of these campaigns

already on the first sunday. the observer is typically of the left and a labour paper is going with the nhs line. we'll come on to what the telegraph and others are doing it shortly. it is quite a clever front page because it is unusual to have an election in december but it is not unusual to have a front page about a winter crisis so it is in that way old—fashioned. i remember digging up winter crisis stories. the pledges that parties are bringing focusing a lot about schools. i have been reporting about schools. i have been reporting about schools often and some are closing over lunch times and asking parents to pay for things like glue sticks. billions are being promised to turn

this around and i think voters might see this as quite cynical. the sunday times have double trouble for boris after corbin bounce. we have a long campaign, six weeks, it is now in full swing. i think it is really interesting because the last election people went, terry may is winning in the polls, she will win —— to winning in the polls, she will win — — to may. winning in the polls, she will win —— to may. trouble for boris, apparently he has a 12 point lead in the polls which doesn't seem like trouble but it seems like labour have the momentum and when you look at the polls you have to look at who is up and down rather thanjust that snapshot. i wonder if we will see that the newspapers have learned a lot since the last election and will bea lot since the last election and will be a bit more clever, shall we say,

in their coverage of this election and whether that will actually do any good. one of the jokers in the packis any good. one of the jokers in the pack is the brexit party and nigel farage is it saying that he will not stand himself. they are threatening that they will put up hundreds of candidates if borisjohnson doesn't abandon his deal with the eu and that, for the tories, could be quite a threat. it could be. it is so unpredictable because you have so many players and issues. you have brexit, the nhs, schools, and you have all these different parties. the lib dems are coming through much more strongly than they have in the past. i think it'll be interesting see. borisjohnson past. i think it'll be interesting see. boris johnson has past. i think it'll be interesting see. borisjohnson has ruled out doing an electoral pact with the brexit party. the obvious conclusion is that farage is not standing so

that he can campaign more. surely, if you are the leader of the party you can do more thanjust talking to people? let's look at the sunday telegraph. this is one of the problem is that there will be for the labour party. the allegations of anti—semitism that have dogged it for the last of months and years. this is a story saying that some british jews would this is a story saying that some britishjews would actually this is a story saying that some british jews would actually leave the country if labour got anywhere near the leaders of power. this is a story based on an interview with a conservative chairman, when you read it there isn't a lot of evidence backing it up. he says that some of

his friends have said to him that this would happen. there is a poll that was done that said that 40% of british jews would that was done that said that 40% of britishjews would consider leaving the country ifjeremy corbyn became prime minister but i don't think the story really supports that headline. to what extent do you think those sorts of allegations of anti—semitism will cost labour electorally when it comes to polling? hardly at all. what evidence is that we have is that it just doesn't land as a subject note. it isa just doesn't land as a subject note. it is a very important subject, clearly, we must defend minorities and fight for democracy. some of jeremy corbyn's columns question that but in terms of votes it probably won't affect it. a tory chairman said jeremy corbyn is bad,

is that all you have got? i hope the telegraph raises its games in the next few weeks. that is the telegraph told. let's talk a little bit about the agony after the rugby and that is the front page picture in the telegraph. england's agony, quite a lot of blood on the shirts put it wasn't a great game, wasn't? but hats off to south africa, a great victory for them and they deserved it. this was always going to be the front—page picture. all the papers have had we won and then had to change it. i think our way through it was clear they would have to change it. disappointing, not just that we lost from an england point of view but it wasn't an exciting game. i don't watch a lot of rugby, the worst cup comes on ——

at the world cup comes on and i watch it but england won the big one and then the easier tie proved not to be easier at all. you said that you were preparing for a big story if england won. yes, but i think it quickly became clear that that was not going to happen. i don't think it isa not going to happen. i don't think it is a story all of doom and gloom. iam it is a story all of doom and gloom. i am actually of welsh heritage so i don't feel so disappointed that england lost but i do think that the pictures that are on the front of some of the pages of the south african captain lifting the cup are very triumphant and hopeful for that

country because, it is interesting, there is a very good story here in there is a very good story here in the telegraph with prince harry who has set aside his own england... it is that sense of 25 years ago, the springboks were almost a symbol of apartheid and now they have a team of half lakh, half white players and a black captain for the first time lifting that trophy —— half black. he led his team to victory and i think it is a very positive story. sunday times, talking about heinz. it isa

sunday times, talking about heinz. it is a good front—page story that will get people talking. it is a good front—page story that will get people talkinglj it is a good front—page story that will get people talking. i wonder how the research was done and i feel sorry for the people who had to do it because actually there are some quite pleasant stuff they are looking at but heinz had been advertising on one of the biggest pornographic websites. apparently they took over the site for a day to plug one of their brands but they do like the types of products they led with, marmite, baked beans, the least sexy foods you could imagine but it is certainly a great sunday story. they are family friendly foods and that is part of the point. should brands that children eat really be advertising on one of the world's biggest pornographic websites. i think it is an excellent

investigation that one of my collea g u es investigation that one of my colleagues dead and she found really disturbing things on the site. is that something you want your site to be associated with? this is a story that i know you don't really see eye to eye on so let's have this debate. this is your story, so why don't you kick off? the screens help boys close gaps on girls? 15-year-olds sit tests in literacy, maths and science and it is a huge study and governments are to it really seriously and what it really seriously and what it really seriously and what is finding, and next results are due to come out in december, it is finding that boys

like reading on screens and if boys do these tests on line at which they have been doing recently, they do much better. everyone is worried in the western world about this huge gap that has opened up between boys and girls performance in reading. this research is suggesting that if you give boys smartphones and screens and if you let them read and a text message, they may close at that gender gap with girls and they may enjoy reading and writing. even reading text messages helps boys education, is that what you are saying? exactly. boys are doing better in the digital world, book support boys off but reading in the digital world. i support boys off but reading in the digitalworld. i disagree. a man support boys off but reading in the digital world. i disagree. a man who wrote a book called poised don't

try, —— wrote a book called poised don't try, — — boys wrote a book called poised don't try, —— boys don't try, you are not saying that girls don't like reading on screens, saying that girls don't like reading on screens, . saying that girls don't like reading on screens,. talking to this idea that girls don't like screens or gadgets is nonsense and points them away from the stem subjects that we are trying to get girls into full stop we have to treat them the same. what we have is a crisis with boys and reading. then teach them better and reading. then teach them better and differently. they have had dads being asked to read bedtime stories to their dads and have tried to close the gap but this works. pa rents close the gap but this works. pa re nts sto p close the gap but this works. parents stop worrying about your children being on a smartphone but let them get on with it. they don't

have to read a book on a smartphone, they could be texting or blogging, as long as they are interacting with words and enjoying it, reading will improve. clearly the teachers will have more influence than a footballer. if a teacher walks into a room with a preconceived notion, that is, we know, the most damaging thing for a child's education. let's look at this story, charles hit by fa ke look at this story, charles hit by fake art. prince charles has been in this major art scandal that one in his home is a fake. an american artist, who has served time injail i think for art forgery has said that he has painted this money and that he has painted this money and that it that he has painted this money and thatitis that he has painted this money and that it is a complete fake —— monet.

it does raise really interesting questions about the art world and this painting was apparently vindicated by an expert arthouse and there are big questions in the art world about how many of these paintings and artworks are authentic. many thanks indeed, especially for the debate about the screen time and reading. that's it for the papers. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you, 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you. we started that weekend off on a pretty wild note, severe gales

across southern parts of england led to disruption and damage. also some heavy rain with flood warnings in force but today looks,. less windy force but today looks,. less windy for most of us and they'll be quite a bit of sunshine around too. the reason for it was this area of low pressure that has been thinning and weakening and will continue to do so. we look to the west which will bring this next area of low pressure which will bring some wind and rain for some of those. for the rest of this afternoon it looks like it will stay dry for most. plenty of sunshine around, a bit of rain for north—east england and in towards eastern scotland where it will be breezy. when's it starting to pick across south—west later in the day but highs of 12 to 1a degrees, shouldn't feel too bad. closer to 11 degrees for most of scotland. this evening and through the night it does turn more unsettled, that area of low pressure begins to sweep in, bringing showers and long spells of rain to parts of england and wales

will stop some of it could be quite heavy and the winds will be picking up heavy and the winds will be picking up across heavy and the winds will be picking up across the south coast and through the channel. it was a breezy and wet. temperatures raining from five to 9 degrees. this area of low pressure is then coming slap bang on top of those bringing winds to the north and south. there will be plenty of showers spiralling around. some of these could be heavy and perhaps even a rumble of thunder mixed into some of them. across the south coast it will be windy again, particularly the extreme south. the best of the sunshine, again for western scotland and temperatures 11 to 13 degrees. on tuesday, low— pressure to 13 degrees. on tuesday, low—pressure slips away and take the shower with it. increasing amount of sunshine but the winds will be down from the north and allowing that colour as events are struggling to get above double figures in the north. the 12th and 13th in the

south. the blue colour migrate south across the uk so it will turn quite chilly mid week onwards and for most of those temperatures will remain in single figures but there will be showers and longer spells of rain too.

this is bbc news, i'm ben brown. the headlines at ten... the brexit party leader, nigel farage, says he is not going to stand as an mp in the general election. do in the general election. i find a seat, try and put m into do i find a seat, try and put myself into parliament, or do i serve the cause better traversing the length and the breadth of the united kingdom, supporting 600 candidates? i've decided that the latter is the better one. the government confirms the benefits freeze introduced by the conservatives three years ago will end next april. labour promises to make every home in the uk more energy—efficient — if it wins the election. the vietnamese community comes togetherfor a vigil for the 39 people found dead in a lorry in essex. air bnb introduces a ban on so called ‘party houses', after 5 people were shot dead in san francisco at a property
