from a volcano in the philippines. in australia, the terrible toll of the bushfires on the country's rich wildlife and many endangered species. serena williams wins her first singles title for three years after beating jessica pegula in straight sets in the final of the auckland international. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rob merrick, who's deputy political editor at the independent, and the defence editorfor the times, lucy fisher. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. ‘heaven help us‘ is the headline on the metro — ahead of the queen's summit with prince harry about the future of the royal family.
11:32 pm
the daily mail describes it as a ‘historic crisis summit‘ and warns there are ‘formidable obstacles‘ for harry and megan before they can stand down as senior royals. however, the telegraph talks of the palaces fears over harry and megan giving a ‘tell—all‘ style interview if the talks fail. also featuring the same photo of the queen is the independent — but it leads on an investigation that found the public backs a net zero carbon emissions target by 2030. the i describes the royal meeting as ‘sandringham showdown‘ but fronts a story about the success of the sugar tax stating that soft drinks makers cut sugar in their products by 28%. the ft leads on the tensions in iran — with the head of qatar calling for calm in the country after a passenger plane was shot down by iran‘s defence system. the guardian describes
11:33 pm
the escalation as public protests build across tehran — the paper calls it a ‘renewed crisis‘ for iran‘s leaders. let‘s get straight into it. front page of the times. and harry is in turmoil. apparently. well, who wouldn‘t be? he has upset his family, we know that from the palace briefing in the past week that they we re briefing in the past week that they were hurt and disappointed. quite strong words for a very understated institution. yet at the same time, he and his wife obviously feel they can‘t go on with the way things are. the emotional interview they did with itv last year, talking about the difficulty of meghan markle in particular, adjusting to life as a royal and concern about her treatment by some quarters of the british press. i am not surprised to hear that. there is some interesting detail in this front page times story about some sources are saying
11:34 pm
that he feels he has been pushed away by the bullying attitude by the duke of cambridge. interesting to see that split by the brothers. interesting if that is the case. see that split by the brothers. interesting if that is the caselj do wonder whether it is all about the brothers or if it is a big part of it. we had the line yesterday on the front page of the times, from william. this time round an hour ago, i ignored my mother's expressed instructions to not be read about the royal family so i will try to be nice this time around the top in all honesty, you see the more human side of it. —— this time around. in all honesty. we saw this morning, prince william was clearly upset about his brother and now we see the other side of it and yes, if one brother feels the other was bullying, that really is a family tragedy for them. let us just turned to the front page
11:35 pm
of the telegraph. we have been hearing about this tell all interview. there has been some talk about it and it continues on the front page of the daily telegraph. tell all. it does make you wonder whether we will get to the root of what on earth went wrong. yes, it seems so. what on earth went wrong. yes, it seems so. a shot fired across the bowels by tom brad free. —— tom bradbury. he says he is aware they are mulling over the plans for this interview. he says he knows a bit about what they might reveal and that it won‘t make for pretty reading. quite a sinister suggestion. there is a lot of speculation mounting today that the justice of sussex —— duchess of sussex feels she might have suffered sexism or rated —— racism by some parts of the monarchy or the courtier system. it is a serious and significant on the way they feel they have been treated, such that they have been treated, such that
11:36 pm
they want to carve out this new role for themselves. rob, i am going to turn you to the front page of the son. —— sun. deals coming from america? you don‘t seem impressed at all, can i just america? you don‘t seem impressed at all, can ijust say america? you don‘t seem impressed at all, can i just say that? america? you don‘t seem impressed at all, can ijust say that? s are you all, can ijust say that? s are you a republican, rob? you quite rightly said they were trapped between a rock and a hard place because of either the sponge of the taxpayer or they go off on their own. ajob, if you like, if 's —— in some other part of the world to stop presumably that is what they
11:37 pm
wa nt to stop presumably that is what they want to do to some extent and that is what they should be allowed to do, in my view. docking bad other royal families around the world, the junior royals, the guy is never going to become king, it doesn't matter whether he lives in this country or not, either to his own family. and they should be allowed to go out and carve out their own role. they may well take criticism for it but it would be a happier and result. a great headline, isn't it? royal soap 0prah. but it is looking at what we could be losing or what the royal family could at what we could be losing or what the royalfamily could be at what we could be losing or what the royal family could be losing. at what we could be losing or what the royalfamily could be losing. if you are not a royalist, what do you think we could be losing? the newspapers know they are going to lose something. they are a draw, though, rob. the couple. the royals, full stop. i respect their royal opinion, even if i don't agree with it. if harry lives abroad, it is
11:38 pm
simply not important other than to the royal family themselves. the royal family, for goodness sakes, survived and absent —— abdication crisis. that was a genuine crisis. this can't possibly be on that scale. anyway, we will find out sooi'i. scale. anyway, we will find out soon. prince harry has an important date on thursday where he has to do the draw for the rugby league world cup. so therefore he would be presumably facing the media on thursday and i guess that is why there is some pressure to reach some sort of decision on what they are going to do over the next couple of days. lucy? this is a crisis for the royal family. it is an institution thatis royal family. it is an institution that is about heritage, it is a link with britain‘s passed, the continuity over generations, and i think that the desire of harry and meghan to leave it or at least craft out their own path separate from
11:39 pm
it... it is what we all do, isn't it? it is what we all do but it speaks to the monarchy‘s difficulty in adapting. they were the great hope for the family, very modern. a huge celebration about this inclusion of diversity with meghan markle‘s arrival into the family. the fact that this hasn‘t worked, i think possibly could spell problems for the institution going forward. let us turn to the front page of the guardian. events taking place in iran and also further afield, the uk and the us. there is a lot of theory on the streets of tehran, the capital. the second day of this tragedy. —— the 176 lives. the protests in iran have swung back where they were before the assassination of qasem soleimani la st assassination of qasem soleimani last week where the rainy people briefly came together against the common enemy of america who carried
11:40 pm
out the assassination —— iranian people. some really vivid stories here about the anger of the crowd andl here about the anger of the crowd and i read out this crowd earlier, one of the chance, they tell us the enemy is america but it is right here. iran isn't going to be happy about this. it is showing a chink within their regime. that is absolutely right. it comes after a spate of protests last year as sanctions levied by the us after withdrawing from the iran nuclear deal really hit the economy hard. this is yet the latest outpouring of discontent by the population. it seems a pretty febrile moment in iran actually. it speaks to the problem with modern technology, access to social media, however press —— oppressive the attempts
11:41 pm
seem press —— oppressive the attempts seem to be for the people realise the truth and think there is a lot of unhappiness about the initial attempt to cover up that iran was behind the downing of this jet, albeit by accident. we have had a joint statement from the heads of state and members of the nuclear deal. they are calling for iran to return to full compliance. the future of that deal, do you think it is wavering? don't think it is wavering, i think it is dead as a dodo. it was on its last legs when washington withdrew. iran only agreed to do its part in return for the sanctions being lifted. i think it said it wouldn‘t comply with any times —— terms, that means despite boris johnson‘s trying times —— terms, that means despite borisjohnson‘s trying to resurrect it, people need to come back to the negotiating table to draw up new terms if it is going to have a way forward. limit that is the scariest
11:42 pm
aspect. what last week‘s assassination appears to show is that there is no—one around that can constrain trump anymore. -- that is the scariest at expect. —— —— aspect. he said iran will never be able to have a nuclear weapon so iran pushes it and pushes it and it starts to enrich beyond the limits laid down and the theories that will genuinely lead to something. upsetting scenes for our leader he is not if you turn to the front page of the times, the unionjack to the front page of the times, the union jack being burned. to the front page of the times, the unionjack being burned. pro— regime supporters taking out their anger on britain. it is not surprising that at least some of the crowd is turning its anger on the uk, even what happened last week. we saw the initial position was to take a neutral stance, with our partners in
11:43 pm
europe, and as soon as washington protested, the uk was called to heal. that is what happened. boris johnson supported the assassination after initially not having done so. the uk stepped into line. diplomatic immunity again making headlines. diplomatic ties between the uk and iran, have obviously been very shaky. in 2011, protesters burned down the british embassy, we cut ties for several years. after this detention of the ambassador, i hope that relationship can continue. it remains to be seen. let us turn to the front page of the i. sweet success for the sugar tax. s it came in last april. i think it currently only applies to fizzy drinks. lim —— yes, it came in last april. ——.
11:44 pm
there is been a 28% cut in the sugar content across the fizzy drinks as a whole. and there is an oxford university study crediting this you —— crediting this levy with making a revolutionary, it says, change, to the level of sugar which we all know is such a driver of obesity. i think the interesting thing about this story is it is a success, if everybody rescued — — story is it is a success, if everybody rescued —— recognises it, then we need to extend it. they are going to maybe extend the tax to milk —based drinks but irisjohnson came out strongly against what was called a milkshake tax. he said he would clobber those who could afford it, at least. there is a prime minister who is at least cautious about the sugar tax and doesn't want to extend it to other drinks but there is going to be extending pressure to do that. we are going to go back to the times. lucy, are you an added cinema going?|j go back to the times. lucy, are you an added cinema going? i am not
11:45 pm
avid, i certainly enjoy it, though, i went yesterday and i am really delighted to see that this hazardous good effect on your cardio rate and heart rate as a light exercise. the body temperature, skin reaction of watching a film, there is interesting outcomes was up as well as being good for your concentration and memory. different to watching a film at home where you can perhaps check your phone halfway through. you have to keep watching the film. your heartbeat rises to the healthy heart zone between a0 and 80% of the extent it would rise in a workout which sounds fantastic. don't you think it is rising because of the cost of going to the cinema? an unhealthy stress. lama i am a little bit confused about the story as to what counts as a light workout. it seems to suggest that going to the cinema is healthier than the control group which read a
