have won the trophy. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are conservative commentator, tim montgomerie, and assistant editor of the daily mirror, jason beattie. let's ta ke let's take a look at tomorrow's front pages, starting with the coronavirus pandemic. the daily telegraph warns of a second lockdown, as the r—rate rises for the first time since restrictions were lifted. since the uk lifted portugal from its quarnatine list, the i reports on the "last minute dash" to the country for british tourists seeking a "sunshine break". following the exam result controversy in england, the guardian reports that the boss of 0fqual has threatened to quit — unless the education secretary

backs the exams regulator on his u—turn in grading. elsewhere, the financial times says russia's opposition leader, alexei navalny, is ready to be air—lifted to a hospital in germany after a suspected poisoning. turning to uk politics, the express says tory mps have urged brussels to "wake up to the threat of a no—deal brexit, after trade talks came to a halt". and the daily mirror reports that manchester united captain, harry maguire, is spending a "second night behind bars," following his arrest in greece. let's dive into those papers now. let's start with a look at the times. it is a tale of two competing priorities between boris johnson tale of two competing priorities between borisjohnson and rishi sunak, who are split over the reform of pensions. now tim, this is one of the first rifts we are seeing between these two. absolutely. and

there has been some early speculation that if borisjohnson was to fail in some way as prime minister and step down over the next year or $0, minister and step down over the next year or so, then rishi sunak, who's been a very popular chancellor during the early period of this covid—19 crisis by introducing big schemes like the furlough which have kept people in reasonable financial shape while they've had to stay at home, would be his obvious successoi’. home, would be his obvious successor. but the test for rishi sunak is not just successor. but the test for rishi sunak is notjust to be able to retain popularity while he's giving out sweeties, if you like, but also where he has to start dispensing medicine as the economic reality sort of closes in on britain. and one of the big decisions that the times is spotlighting on its front page tomorrow is, will the

conservatives abandon a promise they made in their manifesto last december, which is to increase the state pension year after year by a certain amount? 0r state pension year after year by a certain amount? or will economic reality bite and the conservatives start to reduce spending in some areas like pensions so that it can afford spending on helping unemployed people and other people who will be the main victims of the ha rd who will be the main victims of the hard economic times that lie ahead. and jason, boris johnson hard economic times that lie ahead. and jason, borisjohnson is unlikely to wa nt and jason, borisjohnson is unlikely to want to go back on an election promise, especially considering everything that's already happened. yes and no. you could argue that conservatives have already gone back on one election promise by means testing tv licenses for the over 70 fives, for example. but that is quite an important point because the backlash against that move has been really quite severe and you could

see why the prime minister, who doesn't like being unpopular — he was elected to cheer the nation up, in his view, not dampen our spirits down — doesn't want to further alienate the over 65 is in any way. but there is this key issue here that, although there are still a lot of pensioners, over 1 that, although there are still a lot of pensioners, over1 million pensioners are thought to be living below the bread leading dust bread line, the generation gap where you see wealth increasingly accumulated by the older generation and the younger people losing out, so we've got a lot of people sitting in properties which have increased in value and not tell me her young people being unable to get on the housing ladder. we are seeing young people rack up debts for university and the older people sitting on comfortable pensions. there are a lot of older people in poverty, but you can see why there are moves and

calls to try and actually try and rebalance this a bit. but the problem here, as i think tim mentioned earlier and we discussed this before, is older people are primarily more likely to vote than younger people. and at the moment, they vote in large numbers for conservatives. so it is not a constituency you want to alienate. it's not, but with national debt above £2 trillion for the first time, to use tim's language, it might be time to hand out more medicine than sweeties? aren't you very nice? go on, tim.” think the problem is at the moment, britain is able to borrow rather freely on the global markets. and i think that has led some people to believe that we can carry on spending without taxing as if there

is no tomorrow. but you never know when international market sentiment will change. and the international market will always be looking at countries to see whether they are, over the long run, taking responsible decisions on taxing and spending. and i think for britain to continue to enjoy and ability to tap into national markets and at rates which we can afford, then we need to demonstrate that we are trying to keep our budgetary house in order. so tough decisions like this on pensions will have to be made, and i think it is a very interesting first sign of tension that borisjohnson, who seems to gender only support a lot of spending dust genuinely, it might be undermined by his chancellor. this will be a very interesting show between number ten and number” interesting show between number ten and number 11 downing st to watch. indeed. turning to the guardian, there's a story here about the chair

of 0fqual threatening to quit unless kevin williamson publicly backed the exams regulator and admits it was behind the u—turn that salvaged millions of student grades. talk to us about this threat. it was threatening to quit, so this is at the height of a crisis where the idea was kevin williamson, the education secretary, was trying to shift the blame from ministerial decisions and making it seem like it was a civil service one —— gavin williamson. and roger taylor, the executive chair of 0fqual, put his foot down. know what is interesting here is how readily williamson, how quickly he climbed down in the face of this threat. now that suggests to me that there's more to this than meets the i, and actually the error ofjudgement,

meets the i, and actually the error of judgement, the catastrophic meets the i, and actually the error ofjudgement, the catastrophic error ofjudgement, the catastrophic error ofjudgement, the catastrophic error of judgement by williamson ofjudgement, the catastrophic error ofjudgement by williamson to insist that grades be decided by algorithms rather than by teacher markings, was that he did realise that he had been warned about this and perhaps there was a warned about this and perhaps there wasa paper warned about this and perhaps there was a paper trail that 0fqual had to prove that. i'm surmising a bit, but reading between the lines, that's what i think this story is hinting at. tim, what else might this reveal about the inner workings of these two bodies? i think when it shows really is that — i think what jason has said is right, i think the examination body probably was sending warnings and information to gavin williamson, the education secretary, a long time before he probably is ready to admit that he had those warnings. but i think the dangerfor gavin had those warnings. but i think the danger for gavin williamson now is he can't afford to be undermined any further. his opinion poll ratings are already dreadful. and yet the

drama in our schools and education systems really only will continue. we have a huge decision about him reopening of schools, with many people still worried. unions, teachers and parents are worried about whether those schools are safe. to go into that period where the education secretary is so little trusted by such a large section of the population is dangerous for the government and dangerous for our schools. so they certainly won't be wanting any more erosion of his authority. let's talk about schools authority. let's talk about schools a bit more. the daily mail announcing the results of a poll that they've done, saying that voters are sending a message to borisjohnson voters are sending a message to boris johnson about his voters are sending a message to borisjohnson about his government. not letting down children again by failing to reopen schools next month — but jason, you failing to reopen schools next month — butjason, you sense failing to reopen schools next month — but jason, you sense a failing to reopen schools next month — butjason, you sense a message from the daily mail, as well? let's first look at the findings of the pole. this is quite grim for the

government here, an overwhelming majority, including of conservative voters, think they have mishandled the exams crisis. that's not a great deal surprising, it's obvious they have. now a majority think gavin williamson should resign. again, that would be one way of clearing up this mess, but borisjohnson seems very reluctant to force out any of his ministers out, regardless of how incompetent they are. then you have this water point that i find fascinating, how aggressive the daily mail, a newspaper which used to bea daily mail, a newspaper which used to be a cheerleader for boris johnson, has become towards the prime minister. there have been editorials in the daily mail this week which could easily have been written in the daily mirror, the paperl written in the daily mirror, the paper i work for. written by you. i

would be delighted to have written that well. tim, you are a conservative. do you share this sentiment from the daily mail?|j conservative. do you share this sentiment from the daily mail? i do, i'm afraid. i think it would be fair to say that jason's paper and him, coming from the left of politics, you can understand why they would be attacking a conservative government. we do surprise you. but why are people like me, who are conservative, and daily mail which support conservatives— we all had such high expectations when the tories won a majority of 80. we voted conservative, a lot of us, because we wanted a competent government. it is not always the reputation of labour governments that are competent. when a conservative government fails again and again to grip issues like exams, which are so important to millions of families across the country, we

feel really let down by our party. in my own view is that far too many are members of the current cabinet are members of the current cabinet are of mediocre quality, including gavin williamson, the education secretary, who had to be sacked as defence secretary under theresa may for allegedly leaking secrets. he should never have been brought back. in the same is true of many of the advisers around borisjohnson and number 10 downing street. it is not just that those problems have existed — it's that they are persisting, despite a lot of the problems of the government is facing, we are not seeing the kind of shake—up from number ten that we would like to see. and i think that's why newspapers like the daily mail or turning that's why newspapers like the daily mail orturning up that's why newspapers like the daily mail or turning up the volume and frustration on what they are seeing and the lack of action that's resulting. turning to the daily telegraph, a warning that a second national lockdown could happen. how

worried are you about this actually happening? i think the government is going to be very worried about this in the sense that a second lockdown would be very difficult economically, when the country is still recovering stuttering lee from the consequences of the previous lockdown we had from march to june — some of which is still in place, by the way, where we still have regional lockdowns. i think the government will do everything it can to keep going with localised restrictions rather than a whole national lockdown. i would restrictions rather than a whole national lockdown. iwould point restrictions rather than a whole national lockdown. i would point out that these latest figure on the r rate by sage — they themselves say they come with a high degree of uncertainty. there is a lag in the

collection of the data, so we don't necessarily have a full picture yet. well, while all that is brewing, the iis well, while all that is brewing, the i is reporting on some people making a last dashed for the sunshine. it's still a tricky time to be travelling, isn't it? yes, i don't know whether these people that are going to these countries are brave or crazy, or desperate, or some accommodation of those things. i can understand why portugal would be a favourite destination of the moment because they have just had their restrictions lifted, so people may think that is a safe destination. but we have seen so many countries be deemed safe for a short period, then be subject to the quarantine rules when people come back from them — i think the furthest i'm thinking of travelling is edinburgh this year, and ijust hope that,

despite all the problems that i feel very sorry for the tourist and airport industries, i hope that the industries back in britain will at least benefit a bit from the uncertainty that overseas travel represents. well good luck getting some sun there. the daily express — we have the story of brexit. jason, is this another impasse? well, what we are getting is the latest round of negotiations between britain and the eu, the latest talks concluded today with michel barnier saying he thought the prospects of a deal were very unlikely. britain came out and said that there are still significant barriers. there is further rounds of talks to go, but the closer you get to the deadline of those talks, the more the rhetoric on each side is ratcheted up. so what you've got here is a

very express take on it. at least it is consistent, if nothing else. it is consistent, if nothing else. it is all that you's fault. but i think a more nuanced view would be essentially both sides are being intransigent in places. both sides know we will have to compromise, and i think once they start to get closer to that deadline, you may end up closer to that deadline, you may end up with some deal. that's not a guarantee but that's how these negotiations usually go. finally, that's looked at the daily telegraph and find out why borisjohnson has had to cut short holiday. tim? yes, this is quite a controversial story this is quite a controversial story this morning. we had the front page of the daily mail showing pictures of the daily mail showing pictures of boris on holiday, the prime minister on holiday. in his body guards have apparently warned him

that too much information about this location was effectively out in the public domain, and they couldn't safeguard his security. so he's had to return to london. lots of upset about this, and allegations that the scottish nationalists were in some way part of revealing his holiday‘s identity to the media and others — allegations, i must stress, and allegations, i must stress, and allegations the snp is fighting against. it seems impossible for the prime minister to do anything, even go on holiday, without causing controversy. 0f go on holiday, without causing controversy. of course he has a new baby, a fiance, a terrible health scare earlier — he needs a holiday but it doesn't look like you'll get one. jason, but do you make? i don't agree with borisjohnson much, but i agree with borisjohnson much, but i agree with borisjohnson much, but i

agree with his vacation location, one of the most beautiful places in england. but when i was camping there with my family, it rained quite a lot. and if i was in a tent with a small baby and it was raining, i would want to get out of there as well. but it is stunning. that's a good recommendation for people like tim who are not quite ready to go to portugaljust yet. thank you so much to both of you for joining me this evening. it's really great to talk to you. that's it for the papers tonight. now it's time for today's sports. now time for today's sports. sevilla have won the europa league for a record sixth time, after beating inter milan 3—2

in a thrilling final in cologne. it was a frantic first half where four goals were scored in 35 minutes — this from diego godeen made it 2—2. but with the possibility of extra—time and penalties looming, diego carlos came up with an acrobatic effort that flicked off former manchester united striker romelu lu ka ku to seal the win. sevilla are on a 2i—game unbeaten run, whilst inter‘s wait for a trophy will go into a tenth season. manchester united captain harry maguire has been arrested following an incident on the island of mykonos on thursday. the 27—year—old england defender is on holiday in greece. the syros prosecutor's office said on friday that "three foreigners" had been arrested following an alleged altercation with police officers in mykonos. 0ur sports correspondent 0lly foster has more from old trafford. the world's most expensive defender is spending a second night in a greek police cell.

the club this morning confirming that their captain was fully cooperating with the greek authorities. we know that harry maguire into other british men were arrested at around midnight last night after an incident on the greek island of mykonos. the greek police say they were called out to an altercation between two groups, they had to break up a fight. and it was then that three men rounded, they claim, on one of their officers, verbally abusing and assaulting him. the three men were then escorted to a local police station. it's then that police claimed that, upon arrival, they strongly resisted, pushing and hitting three police officers, and that one of the detainees then offered money to avoid any further interaction. police opened a file on this case which includes accusations of violence against officials, bodily harm, insults, and attempted bribery of an official. we do not know the specifics of the accusations

against harry maguire, but today, the three men were transported by boat to the neighbouring island of syros and another police facility there. i've spoken to the greek lawyer representing maguire — he says they'll appear in court tomorrow morning at 10am greek time. he says maguire denies all allegations, and he's confident that his client will be released without any charges. and with the rest of the sport's news, here'sjohn watson. yes, hello, thanks very much indeed. a maiden test century from zak crawley has put england in control in the third and final test against pakistan. he finished the day unbeaten on 171 and will return tomorrow with england on 332—4. katie gonrall reports. cut off from the rest of the world, it's been a summer of cricket like no other. this is england's six attached match in six weeks. the

very windy weather across many parts of the country. on friday, we had winds well over 60 mph here in the southwest of wales, also the southwest of england. and we saw those very strong winds pushing through the english channel as well, leading to some very dramatic weather watcher pictures taken early on in the day. now for the weekend, it won't be as windy — that's because the deep area of low pressure that brought those unseasonably strong winds is moving into the north sea, so already winds are dropping. but we will continue to see some sunshine and showers during saturday. there could be some heavier ones moving down into scotland for a while, actually some stronger spells of rain for northern ireland, and those showers pushing in england and wales. driest and sunniest weather likely to be across southern counties of england and east anglia. but for england and wales in particular, it's still a blustery day — not as windy, but still those gusts of 35—40 mph taking the edge off the temperatures, which may be a bit lower than we had on friday, with the top temperature 22 celsius there. further north and west, quite a few degrees colder than that. those heavy showers continue

into the evening before fading away overnight, and the wind continuing to drop, as well. as we head into the second half of the weekend, there's a brief sign of this ridge of high pressure from the atlantic — but all it's doing is changing the wind direction to a cooler northwesterly. again, the winds continuing to drop, though, on sunday with lighter winds for much of the country, some sunshine and showers for scotland, the heavier ones in northern ireland, pushing it in northern and eastern parts of england with the risk of some thunderstorms, too. our top temperature will be 21 celsius in the southeast on sunday. but quite a bit cooler than saturday across scotland with those northwesterly breezes. into the early part of next week — first of all, we have a weather system coming in from the atlantic. it's quite a weak affair, really, and winds are light on monday, but we are looking at a lot of cloud to move its way eastwards and some patchy rain, too, maybe a little bit heavier for a while across southern parts of england and wales. dryer whether in the northeast

of scotland, but it's only 13 celsius in aberdeen and 19 celsius in cardiff. then for tuesday and wednesday, we have another deep area of low pressure heading our way, threatening to bring some more very strong winds across the uk. a spell of rain probably will be followed by some sunshine and some showers.
