9:31 am
for improvements to british border controls at the end of the brexit transition period. thousands of israelis protest against economic hardship — which they say is the result of the government's mishandling of the coronavirus crisis. a scottish airline pilot who contracted covid—19 in vietnam — and was given just a 10% chance of survival — is now on his way home. those were the headlines. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's jane dougall. hello, ben. we start with cricket and the final day of england's first test against the west indies gets under way in around 90 minutes‘ time. england are under a bit of pressure after a late batting collapse, which saw them lose five wickets for just 30 runs. it means they go into the final day on 284 for eight — a lead ofjust 170 at the ageas bowl in southampton. and joining us live from there is the former england captain michael vaughan.
9:32 am
michael, thank you for speaking to us. before that collapse, joe denly went for just 29. he's been struggling for form for a while now. do you think he's had his chance? yes, this week has been a similar story, knit back onto the stumps, he was bowled by shannon, second again, similar story, joe denly, got to 29, the sun was shining. the number three international play had to go on to get the big score, he was out for 29. that crawley came in at numberfour, for 29. that crawley came in at number four, played beautifully, change the course of yesterday's play. if jor —— change the course of yesterday's play. ifjor —— whenjoe root comes back, whenever he gets another chance, you would properly say not. they have to stick with the young players after all this. joe reid
9:33 am
coming back after the birth of his second child. —— joe coming back after the birth of his second child. ——joe root. england resume on 284 for eight — the lead as i said 170 — but is this test salvageable? looking at the sunshine, it will be a dry wicket. we are staying at the ground, a tremendous week for cricket when you think of the preparation they have had, not a great deal. the standard has been very good. dramatic, all full results on the last day. 170 does not sound a lot of runs but on a wicket like this which is very dry, little bit uneven, spen will play a big part. getting one on the last day of the test match is never easy. west indies arejust day of the test match is never easy. west indies are just favoured but if england can get another 20 or 30 runs, i would say the momentum would swerve towards the england team. you mentioned you are in your hotel. what's it like to be in the bio—secure bubble? what are your restrictions?
9:34 am
we get temperature tested every day, we had our swab test yesterday for the match we have on thursday. sanitiser everywhere, we eat on the boardroom. it is very different. i have to say, all the medical team, specifically the players have bet on a tremendous week, we are looking what should be a great day of test match cricket and then we have old trafford. they have got a lot to live up to, they have delivered a very good bio bubble. good to hear. gets under way from 11 o'clock. michael vaughan there. the battle to avoid the drop in the premier league points from safety — play crystal palace, while bournemouth, who havejust one point more in 17th, take on leicester. a 4—0 thrashing against west ham
9:35 am
means they are the first team to be relegated to the championship. of course — no fans in the stands — but there were a few on the big screen at carrow road, watching the inevitable happen. 0ne supporter with his head in his hands. this is the fifth time that norwich have been relegated from the premier league — that's a record, but one i don't think they'll relish. alongside the cricket and football — a big day in formula one too. lewis hamilton starts on pole for this afternoon's styrian grand prix in austria. he gave another masterclass in the wet, qualifying a second quicker than max verstappen. mclaren‘s carlos sainz was third and valtteri bottas in the other mercedes will line up fourth on the grid. what a tricky day. the weather is obviously incredibly difficult out there for all of us, and a lot of the time you can't even see where you are going.
9:36 am
i had big one moment, the lap before the last, big aquaplane, which definitely had my heart in my mouth. that starts just after two o' clock — so a busy day ahead — and we'll bring you updates from the f1, cricket and football a bit later on. now on bbc news, a look at today's papers. hello and welcome to our look at today's sunday's papers. with me are rosamund urwin, senior reporter at the sunday times, and ben chu, economics editor at the independent. hello to you both, thank you for being with us. let's run through the front pages. the sunday telegraph reports that taxes will be cut next year under government plans for what it's calling a ‘post—brexit economic revolution‘. and like almost all of today's papers, it has tributes to footballerjack charlton on the front page. the sunday times writes that the home secretary fears "cultural sensitivities" prevented
9:37 am
police from tackling illegal sweatshops in britain's fast—fashion industry. the observer leads on a story from a leaked government document apparently showing the 20 councils most at risk of local lockdowns due to the coronavirus. the sunday mirror reports that police looking for madeleine mccann have searched three wells in portugal close to where the prime suspect lived. and the mail on sunday says ministers fear china could unleash an online attack on britain as tensions increase between london and beijing. so let's begin. sunday telegraph, rishi sunak planning brexit tax cuts to save the economy. ben, they are talking about an economic revolution, what do you think about that? we had some new announcements in the summer statement this week, but this is old news. there is no actual specification about what tax cuts are being thought of. the only substance is this talk about new
9:38 am
free port switches and i that is about four years old, it has been repeated again and again by the government over the recent months. this idea that free ports will economically revolution in the uk economy very strongly disputed by a lot of analysts because they argue it shifts activity out of other areas of the uk into these free ports. a lot of scepticism about that. where is this coming from? tax cuts of red meat to the conservative party and they are probably keen to get the impression across today, to the party that despite all the spending rises that were announced last week, tax cuts will be coming over the horizon. that is interesting, rosamund, because if you look at the observer, they say tax rises are on the way, as opposed to the sunday telegraph saying tax cuts. they might be a bit confused, the sunday readers. absolutely, the observer has a
9:39 am
article about what they expect to happen, he expects tax rises, that is logical, date expenditure on covid—19 and then brexit will be expensive and lots of ways. we have seen expensive and lots of ways. we have seen the government has bought land in kent in order to build a massive lorry park for all the lorries that are going to get backed up there. the other thing to say on the telegraph story, the sunday telegraph story, the sunday telegraph story, the sunday telegraph story is that the government is once again pledging an overhaul of planning laws. if that sounds awfully familiar to viewers, thatis sounds awfully familiar to viewers, that is because we've had that promise at least three times by the conservative government since 2010. david cameron promised in 2012, i think he promised again in 2015, theresa may pledged it in 2018. it does seem to be one of those things, the lake the last four years we've had about free ports, that the
9:40 am
tories turn to when they want to say the world is going to get better. thing that their naturally dislike, the pains of planning laws. that is another thing that they have yet claimed is going to use solve this red tape issue when obviously brexit as they begin poser of red tape and we are going to see that playing out in the coming months. speaking of brexit, the sunday express , speaking of brexit, the sunday express, burton takes back border control. a story about the £700 million plan for scooping up betting's border checks on immigration controls and so on, £700 billion, a small beer compared to some of the money the chancellor has been handing out in the last few weeks. it is small bed but the question of when this money will actually be spent, some papers are raging up it is going to get us ready for a potential no—deal brexit or the end of the transition, which
9:41 am
ever way in january. or the end of the transition, which ever way injanuary. some are saying it will be spent after that to create a well beating border, one of the world's bass bodice by 2025. in matters which it is because if you speak to business and listen to what they are saying, they can send the order will not be ready for them to have the free flow of goods across it, if there is a no—deal brexit. this was the impression given by liz truss's warning as well last week, that was leaked. 0ne truss's warning as well last week, that was leaked. one is this board are going to be ready? it is vitally important that it is ready if we are going to have a no—deal brexit in six months‘ time and the clear impression it is not been totally clear whether it will be not. i think it is interesting the way politicians talk about world beating their and that, whether it is orders or agricultural, it their and that, whether it is orders oragricultural, it suggests their and that, whether it is orders or agricultural, it suggests an entry to complex in my opinion and they should target getting a competent, standard level of service
9:42 am
rather than world beating nonsense. rosamund, the mail on sunday, talk about rising tensions between britain and china and the united states and china. this is a story saying canada plavix, political fallout, ministers fear china will blitz the uk whether cyber 9/11. the background to that is hong kong amongst other things, amongst other sources of real diplomatic tension. questions about the future of huawei and their integration into the 5g network. yes, there are three elements that have led to this diplomatic row, of the sea hong kong as you say, huawei been second one and covid—19 with people feeling, some people arguing, although it seems to be counter active on the front of my paper today, that the suggestion, the
9:43 am
suspicion that the true source of coronavirus was that it was accidentally leaked from my wuhan lab. that is completely unproven, but there's an investigation what the source of it actually was. —— was that it was accidentally leaked from a wuhan lab. they say there is a breakdown in good relations between london and beijing, it will lead to the cyber 911, a devastating online attack. the reason why there is some way to this is that australia previously adopted a hard—line on china and it was hit by a sustained large—scale cyber attack. this wasjust a sustained large—scale cyber attack. this was just something that security chiefs worry about, obviously this is not something that we have evidence is going to happen. borisjohnson has had quite a tough sta nce borisjohnson has had quite a tough stance in terms of hong kong and the freedoms there. and the crackdown on freedoms there. and the crackdown on freedoms there. and the crackdown on freedoms there. that is why this is a fear that they have, but it is
9:44 am
speculative, the story. then, do you sense we are at a turning point with our relationship with china —— ben. where we can embrace this economic superpower or we can start to distance ourselves from it, which is what some people like in duncan smith in the tory party are certainly saying, that we should be distancing ourselves, we should be distancing ourselves, we should not be trusting the chinese? we clearly are at a turning point, if you look at the decisions, not least huawei this week. there is an edge of his very getting into this debate. the mail on sunday‘s copy suggest that china now presents a bigger threat to our way of life than the soviet union did. this is just bizarre, the soviet union was a new colour on rival superpower. the us and soviet union were fighting a proxy wars around the planet. china isa proxy wars around the planet. china is a massive trading partner in the way that they soviet union never was. this is getting really out of
9:45 am
hand mid and i think these decisions need to be taken on their merit and we should not be naive, but the idea that it we should not be naive, but the idea thatitis we should not be naive, but the idea that it is a threat to our very existence in the west is just getting out of hand as and this very counter—productive rhetoric. rosamund, the observer have the 20 areas of the country most at risk of local lockdown, we see the local lockdown imposed in leicester. they give a list of these councils, kirklees, bradford, blackburn, i will not repeat wholeness, disappeared along less. i suppose people there be nervous. yes, absolutely, we have seen that with leicester and that is really difficult for people living there because we have gone back to the situation where all but essential shops are shut commerce children are sent home from school and pubs and restaurants are close. no one wants this to happen in the area and the
9:46 am
background to this is the relaxation of lockdown bills is leading to some parts of the country are researchers of covid—19. if you look at the list, the is about flags up bradford, sheffield and kirklees, if you look down the list, these tend to be more deprived committees, they tend to be more ethnically diverse areas, there will be concerns in places that the these places are hit by poverty and this will make it even worse and make the struggle for people much harder. ben, the lockdown in leicester revealed what was going on in the textile industry there. the sunday times of the front page, racism says that sweatshops go unchecked. pretty patel worrying that cultural sensitivity has presented the police —— prevented the police tackling sweatshops in the police tackling sweatshops in
9:47 am
the uk. there is no evidence presented that there is what has been driving the lack of action on this problem which has been known about as people have pointed out for about four years. why did then there is a problem with sweatshops in leicester with underpaid workers, being paid less than the minimum wage. what we do have evidence for is the collapse in local authority proactive inspections. that coincides very clearly with the austerity era, which we do have some evidence is thatis which we do have some evidence is that is what is driving it. of course we need to consider all elements of this and if they have been accused of racism is an element of it, it needs to be tackled. let us of it, it needs to be tackled. let us focus on what we do know first of all, and not have this attempt at blame shifting by the government because this has been known about for a very long time and to see pretty patel and matt hancock saying we have suddenly learnt about this problem in the last few weeks, we should not accept that. —— priti
9:48 am
patel. rosamund, we talk about slave labour in other countries and so on, it seems there‘s a lot of it here under our very noses. absolutely, ben is right, this is not a new issue, this investigation was a good one, it is done by my paper! we knew this was a problem and dispatches looked at this back in 2010 and looked again at the years later, the financial times has looked out sweatshops in leicester, the idea that this is a match is a problem is not true. —— max suddenly emerged as a problem is not true. what we are talking about is people being paid £3.50 an hour. the e nforcer of being paid £3.50 an hour. the enforcer of the minimum wage of the living wage as george osborne insisted on the rebranding it, although it was not one, is an the chifley government are not at local level. i agree with ben about the inspections but i think the
9:49 am
government seems to be saying this is not down to us, there were other issues at play here. what is actually there should have been down to them and they should have done something about it earlier. ben, the sunday telegraph, as we try and get people back to work, this is saying that ministers are trying to get workers to use the trains on the buses again and suggesting that as a lack of confidence, people are nervous and scared of using public transport, there needs to be a campaign to get people back on the buses and on the trains and the tubes. yes, we should not be surprised by that because the department for transport on its website until very recently we sang do not use public transport unless it is absolutely necessary. people simply have been following the advice, declare advice from government not to use it. this underlines the fundamental problem the government has, shifting from a total lockdown, stay at home, save lives message, to go out, enjoy
9:50 am
yourself, spend money, enjoy yourself, spend money, enjoy yourself, go only trains and restau ra nts. yourself, go only trains and restaurants. that was the going to be easy. are they trying to do it to false equipment we have been discussing the possibility of local lockdown is at ris councils? is it too soon, is it too fast? should we actually been taking a more cautious approach than having this real pivot which is very clearly happened which is to go out, spend and save the economy? had you been up to a pub or restau ra nt economy? had you been up to a pub or restaurant yet? i can't say i have. i have been looking forward to it. i can and well when i silly to say. the numbers —— i can when it is safe to do so. i have been on the cheap and the trains, it has been very empty. have
9:51 am
you been to a restaurant yet? no, i have not. to the sunday mirror, the continuing investigation into the disappearance of madeleine mccann unless search in wells in portugal. we don‘t know why the police carrying at that particular investigation. they are a 20 minute drive from where madeleine mccann disappeared and 27. —— in 2007. they were searching this to make these days she this is 13 years on, you feel for her parents in exploring way. one thing that always comes up exploring way. one thing that always comes up when we talk about this case is that had so much more cove rage case is that had so much more coverage than any other missing child and you feel for any parent in that situation, it is painful to be
9:52 am
talking about this 13 years on. i do really feel for her family. indeed. ben, let‘s finish with the story about jack charlton‘s death yesterday and talk about whether he should be knighted, actually, good nightjackie should be knighted, actually, good night jackie is the should be knighted, actually, good nightjackie is the headline in the sun on sunday saying it was a disgrace he was never knighted and that maybe there should be a change in the law so that actually he could be possibility —— knighted after his death. it shows what affection people had for him. the huge mountain of coverage about it, i was struck by the crate from leo varadkar, the former irish prime minister, he said he was ilan‘s most loved englishmen. some people might see praise enough. it is testament to what a great man
9:53 am
he was and testament to the sheer power of the 1966 england winning the world cup and how resonant it still is in people‘s minds, that magic moment. i once had it adds that that the number of people who claim to have bender in wembley when the final took place, they would have filled the stadium three times over if that had actually been the case. in the coming decades, it will be about six times over. yes, he is an amazing man and a very sad loss. asa an amazing man and a very sad loss. as a nation, we are quite obsessed with 1966, aren‘t we, rosamund? absolutely. what is a bit sad heard there were similar calls in 2016 for bobby moore to be knighted. it is not very likely to win, this campaign. perhaps ireland, who are fond of him, he was a great manager for the republic, perhaps they might
9:54 am
find a way of honouring him if we do not quite manage it. that is a good idea. briefly, ben, he was very modest, jack charlton, and he said he stopped other people playing, bobby moore was the creative one, but he stopped at the flat plays playing. he said have been coming up through the ranks today, he might not have made it because the referee would be hard on his heart—tugging style of play and he might not have made it to the very top which would have been sad. he is someone from another era, if you like, and i think that is what people are mourning today as well. great to talk to both of you. enjoy your sunday. thank you for spending some of your sunday with us reviewing the papers. thanks to my reviewers, rosamund urwin and ben chu. that‘s it for the papers this morning. goodbye from all of us. hello there.
9:55 am
there‘s more sunshine to come through the rest of the day, and it‘s probably going to be a warmer day than it was yesterday. for much of the country, we‘ve got high pressure still in charge, keeping it fine and dry. the fly in the ointment, this weather system coming in from the atlantic to bring some rain towards more north—western parts of the uk. but most of the cloud that we‘ll see today may well be high cloud, a bit like this. there may be some patchy fair—weather cloud here and there developing as temperatures continue to rise. we‘ve also got more cloud across the northern isles of scotland. sunshine turning a bit hazy for northern and western areas with that high cloud coming in and the cloud thickening from the west to bring some rain in from the atlantic into northern ireland during this afternoon. temperatures here probably making 19 celsius, though, towards the east coast and 20 around aberdeenshire and the murray firth. temperatures 23, possibly 2a towards the south—east of england where it‘ll end dry and sunny. but we‘ve got that thickening cloud coming in to bring some rain, notjust into northern ireland, but into scotland early in the night. that will then tumble its way down into northern parts of england and north wales. a lot more cloud around tonight, so it‘s going to be quite a bit
9:56 am
warmer than it‘s been for the past couple of nights, temperatures typically 11 or 12 celsius. but tomorrow‘s weather could look rather different. there‘s much more cloud coming in for a start. this patchy rain mainly running into the hills of north—west england and wales, perhaps heading a little bit further south. to the north we‘ve got quite a cloudy air stream, some showers around too, but some sunshine here and there, particularly eastern scotland, 19 or 20 celsius should feel quite pleasant, actually. the higher temperatures are towards the south—east of england at east anglia, where we‘ll start to see a bit of rain towards the end of the afternoon. that, of course, on that weather front there, that will clear away by the time we get to tuesday morning. by which time there‘ll be another one sliding in from the atlantic, heading towards northern ireland. for most of us, though, in between two weather fronts, it‘s going to be generally dry. the air is going to be cooler and fresher, mind you, temperatures will be lower. we‘ve got a few showers here and there, probably not very many, mind you. the sunshine maybe rather limited, a fair bit of cloud around on tuesday and the cloud thickening to bring some rain and drizzle towards northern ireland, especially later on in the day. and temperatures are back down
9:57 am
to where they were at the start of the weekend in scotland, northern ireland, 16 or 17. high this time of only 20 celsius in the south—east. it won‘t get an awful lot warmer over the week ahead, but there‘s really very little rain at all, most places will be dry. limited sunshine, a fair bit of cloud.
