well, it might feel a little bit colder than those numbers suggest. as we look ahead to tuesday, low pressure still in charge of the scene. we will see outbreaks of rain and with the winds generally coming down from the north, still bringing cold air in our direction. still the potential for some sleet and some snow across high ground, especially across the northern half of the country. those are your temperatures, again, in single figures for most of us. and the temperatures don't climb very much further than that, actually, as we head through the middle towards the end of the week. there will be some outbreaks of rain at times, but not all the time. some spells of sunshine as well. bye for now. hello this is bbc news. the headlines... remembering the fallen — after attending a concert last night, the royal family and senior politicians will be at the cenotaph in central london this morning. floods in south yorkshire continue to cause chaos with seven

severe warnings still in place — meaning there's a danger to life. hundreds of homes have been evacuated. in the election, there's a row over spending after the conservatives publish what they claim would be the cost of a labour government a warning that extreme weather conditions in australia could fuel more bushfires. three people have already lost their lives. before the papers — sport and for a full round up from the bbc sport centre. here's jane dougal. good morning. england's cricketers have won the t20 series against new zealand after a tense fifth match which went to a super over. in scenes reminiscent of the summers world cup, they were tied
9:32 am
after 11—overs each — the match shortened because of the weather. so — it went to a super over. england batted first and scored 17, they then restricted new zealand to just 8 runs from their over. a much more comforable margin than at lord's. it means england win the series 3—2. former england bowler steve finn, who was part of the test match special team, said it was an encouraging performance. it all looks very healthy at the moment. a series like this were guys come in and stake a claim on their first series, to really put their hand up and say, i belong in international cricket and i can perform to the best of my ability. continuing what you do on county cricket and doing that on the international scene, i think the quys international scene, i think the guys have done that year. it increases the group of players we will pick from when we pick the team for next year. in football, the hotly anticipated match between leaders liverpool and defending champions manchester city takes place later at anfield. it's their first meeting of the season and the result could be indicative as to where this season's title goes.
9:33 am
city won the premier league byjust one point last season and were the only team to beat liverpool in the competition. this time though city are already six points behind jurgen klopp‘s undefeated side, and their boss pep guardiola knows they're in a battle to retain their title. probably right now they are the strongest team in the world. anyway, playing in anfield, how it means for them, for all their rivals. it is 90 minutes, or 94, and we are going to try to follow the plan we have thaw of in this game. we have to play our best game. everybody in the stadium has to be absolutely top shape. the guys who sell the hotdogs have to be in a top shape. so everybody has to be from the first second come early in the stadium, go inside, nothing to do outside, wait for the team warming up, be there, all that stuff. well, could leicesterjoin liverpool and manchester city as title contenders?
9:34 am
they're now in second place after a 2—0 win over arsenal. jamie vardy‘s 11th goal of the season put them in front. and james maddison secured the win as he added a second. that's a fourth consecutive league win for leicester. this chelsea are also well in the mix. they're up to third after their sixth league win in a row — beating crystal palace 2—0. tammy abraham and christian pulisic with the goals. tottenham's disappointing run of form continues. they were held to a 1—1 draw at home by sheffield united. george baldock with this fortuitous equaliser for the visitors. united could have won it, because they had a goal very controversially ruled out by var, which judged this to be offside. just look at the margin. ifjohn lundstram's boots were one size smaller he might have got away with it.
9:35 am
i understand. if it is offside, it is offside. my point is, if that was the first phase and it was offside, it was offside. it is a spectator sport and a fast, free—flowing game. when incidents like this happen, obviously, it is disappointing. the rest of the day's premier league resutls and reaction are on the bbc sport website and app. there was a record attendance england women's game at wembley stadium last night, with more than 77,000 fans piling in to watch the lionesses. but it wasn't the result they wanted to see in the friendly against germany, as jo currie reports. these fans braved the damp and drizzly conditions, hoping to witness a piece of history as the lionesses walked out onto wembley for only the second time. a sold—out game and an expectant crowd. however, an early goal from the german captain threatened to dampen spirits. since the world cup semifinals, england have suffered from a hangover.
9:36 am
paris could not find this tonic from the spot. 0n the big stage, england needed a big player. step up ellen white. back from injury and back on the scoresheet. the world cup‘s joint top scorer picking up where she left off. a cheer from more than 77,000 fans, a new record for an england women's football game in this country. but with the draw on the horizon, germany scored a late winner, leaving england crushed and with only one win out of seven. off the pitch, this match delivered with over 77,000 fans braving the weather to come and watch england play. on it, though, it was another lacking performance from the english lionesses and questions will be asked about the direction of the team moving forward. i have been in football long enough that as a manager you have to take the responsibility. i do take that responsibility. it is a lot to do with me and we just have to make sure that
9:37 am
i improve as a manager and the players will improve as well. and they will need to improve quickly as england play the czech republic on tuesday, their final chance to see out the year on a high. the top two in scotland are in action this afternoon. celtic host motherwell and rangers are away at livingston. both are four points clear of third placed aberdeen who beat ross county. edinburgh's two managerless clubs had big wins yesterday. hibs went to stjohnstone and won 4—i — thanks to a hat—trick from christian doidge. and heart's got their second win of the season by beating st mirren. elsewhere, kilmarnock and hamilton accies drew. after a controversial week off the field, saracens got back to work on it yesterday as they played their first game after a record fine and points deduction for breaking premiership rugby's salary cap rules. their 35 point deduction and £5 million fine has been suspending pending an appeal, but that didn't stop the jeers from the gloucester fans, as patrick gearey reports.
9:38 am
saracens could handle the saturday boos, but tuesday's news will linger longer. found guilty of breaching the salary cap, they are paying with points, pounds and endless taunting. until the appeal, they have rugby to distract them, going back to what they know, smashing gloucester‘s door ajar, nick thompkins scored. losing the arm wrestle, gloucester chose another option. tom marshall opted for a bit of football, followed at the last by some diving. try. but saracens also know the value of the boot, winning penalties to be kicked by manu vunipola, cousin of england's billy and mako. sarries success has been built on family as well as money. using a collective spirit they call the wolfpack, but which looks more like a herd of wildebeest when it is doing this. ben earl got the ball down. then they locked the door, a late gloucester try proved purely academic. for some, saracens are cheats and this might be the week everything changes, apart from one
9:39 am
thing — the results. patrick geary, bbc news. there have been medals for british athletes at the world para—athletics championships in dubai this morning. hannah cockroft took gold in the t34100m in what was a new world record. it's also her fifth consecutive world title. she was joined on the podium by a familiar face too, fellow—brit kare adenegan took silver. icame i came here today, there was a star last night, so there was rain and wind. i thaw, last night, so there was rain and wind. ithaw, i might as last night, so there was rain and wind. i thaw, i might as well be in yorkshire. i was really, wind. i thaw, i might as well be in yorkshire. iwas really, really wind. i thaw, i might as well be in yorkshire. i was really, really calm going into the race. i have been kneeling it in training sessions, i thought, just do what you do. i really enjoyed it. between the gun going off on the finish, i do not know what happened there. going off on the finish, i do not know what happened therem obviously went well then. it's been described as the biggest internet event in history. the re—match between you tubers logan paul and ksi in los angeles
9:40 am
ended with a split decision, in favour of the brit ksi. they have 40 million subscribers between them, and they also have a long running feud. this was their first fight as professionals, having drawn their amateur bout in manchester last year. and it was ksi, who's from watford who just edged it over the american logan paul. has it sunk in yet? no, it hasn't, bro. it hasn't. and i don't think it will for a while. it's surreal, man. iworked hard, man. this wasn't easy, bro. this isn't easy. this isn't an easy sport to be in. and i felt it from the beginning to the end. and, like, iamjust gassed, man. i'm happy, i'm happy. my gameplaying went out the window. that was the worst i've performed in any sport, ever. you can hear it in my voice now. i'm sick, i woke up sick, i have been sneezing all day. i try to ignore that but it took
9:41 am
probably 30 to 40% out of me. i don't know. i don't know if i was trying to conserve energy because i thought i was going to die because of my lungs. i do not know. get the excuses in early. that is all for the sport. now for the papers. hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are journalist and author shyama perera and dave wooding, the political editor of the sun on sunday. thank you for being with us. let's take a look at the front pages. the mail on sunday leads with conservatives claim that
9:42 am
labour's general election policies will cost the uk a total of £1.2 trillion over the span of a five year parliament. the telegraph also leads with that claim, saying the conservatives will publish a dossier setting out calculations that they say shows the "true cost" of a labour government. the sunday times goes with this too — saying the tories are trying to put clear water between themselves and labour. the sunday express says brexit party leader nigel farage will give borisjohnson a final chance to form a brexit pact that he claims could finish labour for a generation. the independent has an interview the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell who says their manifesto will be the most radical, with promises of a universal basic income and climate pledges at the heart of it. that is the front pages. let's start off with that £i.2 trillion claim that the tories are saying that labour would cost over a five year
9:43 am
period. actually, labour haven't published their manifesto yet. the tories have taken all of the promises or ideas that labour have put forward, add them together and that comes to 1.2 trillion, which i think is 12 zeros. i am sure the political editor of the sun on sunday will be able to explain to me this £43,000 per household, presuming the action everything and it comes to £43,000 per household. we are going to say that sounds terrible. 0ver how many years? over five years. that means my households will have to find more than we earn in tax to... do you see what i am saying? it does not actually casting. the way it is written is saying we are having to pay it insta ntly. saying we are having to pay it instantly. it is just borrowing, isn't it? borrowing and taxing. the conservative party have big spending plans of their own. £100 billion extra. this number, 1.2 trillion, this is an estimate of the extra
9:44 am
amount in the labour government would spend in its first five years. that figure of 43, by some estimates, depending on how many households, could come up to 60,000 per family. another way of looking at this figure is that extra money is enough to fund the entire budget of the nhs for the next nine years. it is three times more money than gordon brown spent after the financial crash. and it is about 30% uplift in public spending. it is a lot. the tories are using this to beat labour with an saying this is an recipe for bankruptcy. we do not say much more than that, do they? are the icing as this is a recipe for bankruptcy but there not pulling out pulling out policies and they are not showing detailed to what they are objecting to. they are objecting to the total amount. the objecting to the total amount. the object to the renationalisation of the railways, water companies. what they have done is they have tottered
9:45 am
all of these figures together. the shadow chancellor was quite angry earlier in the week when it became clear the treasury were going to publish an official estimate of this. as a result, the cabinet secretary locked a publication of that. this has come out as a result. i expect there are a lot of treasury figures and here is part of that the campaign hotting up. a nine page special on it. the battle for britain, as they call it. they are talking about jeremy corbyn britain, as they call it. they are talking aboutjeremy corbyn top aide had four meetings with hx by and the question how can this x communist ever have a ccess question how can this x communist ever have access to number ten. —— he had meetings with a spite. the morning star, the communist newspaper was there with the guardian and the telegraph. while it
9:46 am
may not have been respectable are the party of choice, it was quite normalfor the party of choice, it was quite normal for people to belong to the communist party. the question is what is the legacy now. we are worried about communism and the eastern bloc having influence over brexit, influence over the tories, influence over trump and influence over the left. members of the left once belonged to the communist party and were therefore sympathetic to their politics make this story any different to eastern bloc interference? this seems to be based on publicly available records from the former czechoslovakia, the iron curtain state, as it was then. 0ne of their spies had a meeting with andrew murray, who works at the union unite, run by len mccluskey, close friend and ally ofjeremy corbyn. and he also works as a
9:47 am
policy adviser, does andrew murray. and he allegedly met this spy from the czech republic, czechoslovakia, as it was, in chinatown in london and they had a meeting for one hour. asa and they had a meeting for one hour. as a result, they are saying he has links with the former regime. what does not surprise me as we all know, those of us who know andrew murray, he was a member of the communist party until five years ago. it is not big news. it does also say that he was not deeply informed about the position. i think you will find that more damaging than the allegations he was a lefty. let's go on to the story about the police investigation, the investigation into borisjohnson should be shelved until after the investigation. it is mysterious. the observer revealed the independent police watchdog has
9:48 am
delayed its result. i have put the report into pardo, which is a p pa re ntly report into pardo, which is apparently not in the gift of the office for police conduct. they have basically said we are not going to look into this until after the election. i am look into this until after the election. iam not look into this until after the election. i am not sure from my own personal perspective what difference that makes. i think people have their opinions about stories like this. when we get the truth, it is not going to change terribly much. these reports have a habit of coming out during elections. john trickett saying they should be maximum transparency, a bit like a report on the labour spending, could be potentially damaging to boris johnson. also in the observer, a story onjohn bercow, the former speaker of the house of commons. he is basically slapping off david cameron in this interview. some quite choice words. he thinks he is born to rule, says the headline. he
9:49 am
has very strong words, he says, david cameron has the most enormous public school instilled self—confidence. he thinks people like him are born to rule and the natural order is people like him run things and that he is in a superior position. that is from john bercow about david cameron. yes, he speaks his mind. he also tells us amazingly that he doesn't like brexit, which we would never have guessed. the bit i like we would never have guessed. the bit ilike is we would never have guessed. the bit i like isjohn bercow is described as being himself, describes himself as being himself, describes himself as pompous, long—winded, pig—headed and utterly irritating at times. that is his own words ex—mac he has agoat that is his own words ex—mac he has a go at himself. it is excellent interview. the story on the front page is by the pedicle editor and does not once mention rachel cooke, the article is from rachel cooke. i have never interviewed anyone who is
9:50 am
so prone have never interviewed anyone who is so prone to tears and difficult to interrupt. that is quite interesting. sunday telegraph, they have could russia start another world war? this is courting chief of the defence staff. -- quoting. it is a remembrance day interview in which he is discussing the risks we face. he is saying with russia becoming more and more bolshie, if you like, that there is a danger, the biggest danger since the second world war, that we could slip into conflict. he is saying it is not about firing missiles and big bangs and assassinations like the one that started the first world war all those years ago, it is facebook, it is assassinations, it is intricate, it is spying, the internet, cyber
9:51 am
warfare. it is destabilisation, isn't it? we can already see it. we have alluded to it in passing on our first story. all of this stuff about the russian interventions and fake news and all of this and who they are funding, who they are not, one is getting the sense already of that creeping uncertainty that they are very good at bringing in. bolshie is a term that originated in russia with the bolsheviks. the sunday times, they have a new series of the crown on netflix. netflix have been accused of muck raking in the crown because the hint, apparently, at the queen might have had a romantic relationship with lord porchester, her horse racing manager. relationship with lord porchester, her horse racing managerlj relationship with lord porchester, her horse racing manager. i can remember in the old days, the daily mail, they would also be pictures of the queen with lord porchester looking at horses. i never picked up there was a hint that something was going on. it was always shown as an
9:52 am
affectionate relationship. who knows? if the queen did anything, did we really care? as long as she does herjob and she does it well and she has a partner who would, if this were true, be happy to turn a blind eye, and if different stories of him were true, she has been happy to turn a blind eye, what does it matter? i watch the first two series of the crown and they are not exactly strict with historical accuracy. i think by their own admission, the kind of make stuff up. they are having to infer, aren't they? that's only where you can get information about the royal family 01’ information about the royal family or you information about the royal family 01’ you can information about the royal family or you can act on it. richard arbiter, the former palace aide, is quite cross about this. he does point out peter morgan, the writer of the series, doesn't like to have a bit of fiction and therefore dramatic effect. i think the queen is beyond reproach on that issue. dramatic effect. i think the queen is beyond reproach on that issuelj is beyond reproach on that issue.” am very much looking for it, then,
9:53 am
because the actor playing prince philip is rather wonderful. ok, steady on. it is sunday morning. speaking of the royalfamily, we have the reports continuing of some kind of rift between william and harry. all of the royals are there together for the remembrance concert there, dave. yes, the festival of remembrance. it is amazing. it is quite a big well watched on tv this saturday night event. again, there are all the royals together. emily andries says, the queen bringing her fractured family together for the remembrance sunday as peace breaks out. you can see them all there, even borisjohnson out. you can see them all there, even boris johnson is out. you can see them all there, even borisjohnson is there. the queen is wearing no fewer than five poppies. which i the army, navy, civil defence and women. it must be
9:54 am
women in the army. i must bring a bit of levity and, for which i apologise. the photograph of boris at the concert shows his here in rather good nick, ourfriend here arrived this morning looking like ziggy stardust. i said, goodness, what has happened to you here? i have the same hairdresser as boris and she has done a boris on him and he has gelled it down. it is looking very lovely comedy. ignore her. sunday times, aged 90 and still taking cocaine. who wants to comment on that? we heard all sorts about 90—year—olds this day that they are living longer and they have active love lives, the 90—year—old is these days and they got running 90.” cannot wait to get to 90, i tell you. and now it seems the number of 90—year—olds taken to hospital with cocaine overdoses are problems with
9:55 am
cocaine overdoses are problems with cocaine use has rocketed. the figures were 45 people age 60 and over treated in hospital for cocaine disorders. the number has now gone to 379. that 60 and over. that is 60 and over. there are people aged over 90 going, and the reason is these people have developed a habit in their middle aged and have taken it into their old age. personally, i think that is far more healthy than starting a habit in your youth. at least when you are older, you are not as active member of society. perhaps you can afford to zone out. i think if you started it a bit younger, you would not make it to 90. good to have you with us, as ever. lovely to see you. that's it for the papers. we will be back with another news bulletin at the top of the hour. don't forget you can see the front pages
9:56 am
of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — seven days a week. and if you miss the programme, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, shyama and dave. goodbye. hello there. after all the rain we've had this week, today is giving us a chance to draw breath. it is mainly fine out there. dry for the most part this afternoon. and with that dry weather we get to see some spells of sunshine. so this is how it looks on the map for the rest of the day. some patches of cloud around, yes. some areas of cloud perhaps drifting into north sea coastal counties at times, also the north of scotland. these areas could see one or two showers. more cloud generally arriving in northern ireland through the afternoon. the winds picking up here a little bit. for most of us, light winds mean it won't feel too bad out there. top temperatures of seven to 11 celsius with some blue skies overhead. fine for this evening for most places as well.
9:57 am
but we will see rain splashing in across northern ireland. as that rain continues its journey eastwards, it will turn to snow, we suspect, over high ground in scotland. if you are above 250 metres elevation, you could get a covering of snow through the night. some snow mixing in over high ground on the pennines. further south it will mostly be rain. it's going to be turning increasingly windy through the night. these are the sorts of wind gusts you can expect quite widely. but some exposed places seeing gusts of 40 to 50 mph. with the cloud, with the rain, with the stronger breeze, it is not going to be quite as cold as it has been on previous nights. tomorrow morning, still this frontal system to clear away from eastern and northern parts. in fact, it will hang back across the northern isles for a good part of the day. expect cloud and outbreaks of rain here at times. elsewhere, it turns into a day of sunny spells and showers. some of those showers will be heavy with some hail and thunder mixed in. the showers are likely to be wintry over high ground in the north. and your top temperatures for monday afternoon between seven and 11 celsius.
9:58 am
but factor in the strength of that north—westerly wind, well, it might feel a little colder than those numbers suggest. as we look ahead to tuesday, low pressure still in charge of the scene. we will see outbreaks of rain. and with the winds generally coming down from the north, still being cold air in our direction and still the potential for some sleet and some snow across high ground, especially across the northern half of the country. those are your temperatures, again in single figures for most. the temperatures don't climb very much further than that as we head through the middle towards the end of the week. there will be some outbreaks of rain at times but not all the time. some spells of sunshine as well. bye for now.
10:00 am
this is bbc news, i'm ben brown. the headlines at ten: remembering the fallen — after attending a concert last night, the royalfamily and senior politicians will be at the cenotaph in central london this morning. 10,000 veterans will march past the cenotaph war memorial after a service of remembrance led by her majesty the queen. floods in south yorkshire continue to cause chaos with seven severe warnings still in place, meaning there's a danger to lifem despite better weather today. we have got blue skies, it looks picturesque until you actually get into the village and you see
