before the papers, sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here'sjohn watson. good morning. not long to go until day three of the third test between england and pakistan, a day which should see england wrap up victory after declaring on 583 for 8. jimmy anderson then blew the top order away taking three wickets as pakistan closed on 24—3. to look ahead to day three, i'm joined by our sports reporter henry moeran live from the bio bubble in southampton. we saw the records fall yesterday as zak crawley and jos buttler dominated with the bat — how impressive have they been? well it was an outstanding batting performance and a partnership that will live long in the memory. 350 i’u ns will live long in the memory. 350 runs and a record partnership and

records for buttler and crawley, highest first class scores and to put crawley‘s effort‘s into context, it is the tenth highest score from an english batsman. he hasjust walked out of the hotel with a smile on his face and you can understand why. he has put some of critics back in their places. those that were saying that perhaps he didn't have what it takes to play test cricket. and james anderson, pitching in with three big wickets and that certainly sets things up brilliantly for england today and worth pointing out we could see more records tumbling. james anderson is on 596 test wickets, four more to reach the 600 mark and it that would be an incredible achievement and there are

questions as to how demoralising the three wickets were for pakistan. any opportunity for them to win you would have thought has gone. england with a 1—0 lead will win the serry and this could be an opportunity for england to wrap it up in quick time. thank you. britain's andy murray has had his fair share of low points with injuries of late, but he's back and winning again as he gears up for the us open. he beat american frances tiafoe in three sets in the opening round of the western and southern open, the tournament serving as a warm—up event for the grand slam at flushing meadows in eight days time. not such a good day as fellow brits kyle edmund, cameron norrie and heather watson however — they all lost. british boxer dillian whyte's world title hopes — and potential matchup with tyson fury — are over for now as he was knocked out

in his latest fight. despite being on top early on against alexander povetkin, knocking the russian down twice in the fourth round. he was soon on the receiving end — floored by povetkin in the 5th. whyte should get a rematch though and he let his promoter eddie hearn know he's up for it, not long after the fight. you all right? thank you very much. that is what i'm saying. are you all right? yeah i'm good, it is one of these things. boxing isn't it? absolutely he had a couple of good early rounds, but you were in total control. yeah, yeah. and then the fourth round, he was done. exactly. you know what i mean? it is what it is. you know, pretty much. that's what boxing is about. thanks eddie. no such problems though for ireland's katie taylor. it was a real battle but she won her rematch

with belgium's delfine persoon on points — meaning she retains her four world titles. rugby union and saracens — despite their impeding relegation due to breaking salary cap rules — beat harlequins 38—24, denting their hopes of a top four finish in the premiership. well northampton saints took full advantage — closing the gap on fourth to just a point — with a bonus point victory over london irish. ahsee tuala with their fourth try in a bonus point 27—3 victory. elsewhere bath beat leicester. what a game in store for us tonight. it's the german champions bayern munich versus the french champions paris st germain in the champions league final. for bayern, victory would seal a european/domestic treble — just their second ever. while for psg, it would be the first time they're crowned champions of europe. either way — despite there being no fans in lisbon — former bayern and england player 0wen hargreeves believes it'll

be a special night. it's beautifully poised. the two best teams in lisbon and notjust for the final, you know are there. and they're great to watch. the two most talented players play for psg mbappe and neymar. i won't be cagey, because neither team plays that way. with the goals bayern munich have scored and the attacking threat of paris, we could see a few goals tonight. that is all the sport. thank you. here's a quick look at what's coming up on bbc one straight after this programme. coming up on sunday morning live. results week for many students was not quite what they were expecting.

has the confusion shone a light on an unfairness in the education system. and a ban on evicts tenants was extended. the founder of the big issue says he worries we could see the biggest homelessness crisis ever. join us at 10. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be with me are katherine foster from the sunday times and the political commentatorjames millar. good morning to you both. thank you for being with us this sunday morning. let's take you through the front—pages. the observer, and the labour leader keir starmer says the chaos around exam results has put plans to get children back to school in september

at serious risk. meanwhile the telegraph says the prime minister has told allies that failing to reopen schools is not an option — it also includes a photo of borisjohnson and carrie symonds on holiday in scotland with their son wilfred. the return to school also dominates the mail on sunday's front page and that the uk's chief medical officers have ruled that it is safe for children to go back to school next month. the independent reports that care homes were put under pressure to accept patients with coronavirus during the peak of the pandemic. it also has a photo of emergency services in california, who are battling to keep dozens of wildfires under control. 0n the front page of the sunday times, reports that the education secretary gavin williamson was on holiday the week before the a—level exams fiasco — with sources saying he cancelled a crucial meeting to go. and in the sunday mirror, "harry's £90k get out ofjail card" — the paper reports that the manchester united captain can buy his way out of anyjail term following a brawl on the greek island of mykonos.

the footballer could face three years but denies guilt over the fight. he could also face three years, but denies allegations about the fight. so let's kick off then with, well, let's go with the mail on sunday. their headline, it is safe to go back to school. this is really an attempt not just by back to school. this is really an attempt notjust by the politicians, but also the scientists to reassure pa rents but also the scientists to reassure parents and teachers that it is safe to resume school next month? yeah, it is clearly a co—ordinated effort gci’oss it is clearly a co—ordinated effort across government to get this message out that schools are safe. it says this removes the final hurdle for kids to return to school. that will come as a surprise for kids in scotland who have been back for three weeks! it is a very english story. one interesting thing

is it ignores the scottish and northern iron aspect. —— northern ireland aspect. each day there is a case of a new case in a school. they have to be prepared for that in england. the scientist say there is a small risk, but the small risk is of death. it is not a tiny risk. there is still a risk of transmission among kids and when they come home to their families. so they come home to their families. so the government pushing this one very ha rd the government pushing this one very hard this weekend. but, yeah, there has been obviously an example they can look to north of the border where kids have gone back to school successfully, but with this low level transmission. the observer, their angle is keir starmer, the labour leader, saying the chaos around the exam results has jeopardised the return to school. well, it certainly has not helped.

it is foreseeable and it not there we re it is foreseeable and it not there were not many warnings about the algorithm, although the government apparently didn't know about it until last weekend. really it has been utter chaos for schools. most have good plans in place for what will happen, my children are due to go back in two weeks. i am counting down the days! they had months ago, i know, because i've a governor, a four point plan for different level of the virus, getting small groups back, getting half back, hopefully everybody will be back. but i think it has been appalling the way the government have handled the a—levels and 0k, they turned in time to save the gcse, people still haven't got their btecs. it is not good enough at all. i know a couple of weeks ago

when the a—levels came out and initially it was said you can appeal, the schools were going to have to process all the appeals. i lodged three appeals, as the school told me to. that was a nightmare and took up very valuable time for a lot of senior leaders at school that they could have been using to make sure all the people were going back in two weeks time. james, catherine talking about gavin williamson and the sunday times leads on how he cancelled they say a crucial meeting in order to go on holiday and that was the week before the a—level exams fiasco and they say that gavin williamson was away in the week beginning august 3rd and he was in scarborough apparently and they say that affected the government's handling of the crisis? yes for pa rents, handling of the crisis? yes for parents, it is about getting kids back to school and getting them back safely. but there is a lot of

politics goes on around this, which possibly is not that interesting to pa rents possibly is not that interesting to parents who are desperate to get their kids back to school and to kids who need to go to school. i might be more interesting to people reading the sunday papers. so keir starmer‘s intervention is very political and this one about williamson, although he was on holiday, it said hejoined zoom calls from holiday. ijust wonder what is going on here. somebody‘s clearly got it in for him. i think he is not short of enemies in the tory party and he has been chief whip and he skipped a meeting, that seemed to be about getting kids back to school in september, rather than the exams fiasco. but given the prime minister says it a national priority to get kids back to school in england in september, it seems odd he skipped a meeting on it. i wonder how it speaks to the idea of

working from home. he was in scarborough and joined a zoom call. so how bad was it that he was in scarborough and not london. what about the story in the mail on sunday, it is the time of year, when ministers get shamed for going on holiday. the mail talks about an education minister who was on holiday in the alps and they have pictures of her on holiday, it is like a pictures of her on holiday, it is likeafamily pictures of her on holiday, it is like a family photo album. and gavin williamson liked a lot of the pictures on facebook. what do you make of that? yes, it did make my blood pressure go up a bit. i would

say mps are humans and need a break and everybody needs a holiday of course. this rather blows gavin back to scarborough where he grew up out of water. pictures from august 6th to 18th, right before the a—levels and until after this. gillian keegan, the minister for apprenticeships and skills, jointly responsible for post 16 education, was having an amazing time, i'm very jealous looking at these pictures. but you know it does look bad, everybody needs a holiday, but think needed to have sorted this stuff out properly before they went away and to see this when my son and other childrens had uncertainty and upset is galling and that gavin williamson did find the time to like some of

the posts on instagram, but not to know about the problems about the algorithm which i knew about weeks ago and, hay, aim not education secretary. now the theme of people being on holiday, the papers are interested in it. the mail have a big splash of borisjohnson on holiday in scotland. he put up that tent. apparently he and his fiance slept in the tents and the security guards stayed in the cottage. does that look like a dream holiday to you? the best of the story is it says they spent cosy evenings in the tent with a four month old baby. there is so much to unpack there. i was in scotland last week and no one was in scotland last week and no one was having a cosy evening in a tent and not with a four month old baby. that one... i had to laugh at that.

the gillian keegan story is about the problems of social media, this is social media working right, because the media or the mail a pproves because the media or the mail a p p roves of because the media or the mail approves of you. carrie symons put this up. he is the prime minister. gillian keegan is an important minister and she could have been in the dfe. the prime minister has said nothing about the exams chaos and has been in scotland and apparently thatis has been in scotland and apparently that is sweet. it is a glaring case of different standards. i just wonder if even your mail on sunday readers will think why is one being treated differently to the other one? does the prime minister get marks for staying in the uk for a

staycation? at a time when lots of people are having to quarantine and facing travel misery if they go abroad. yes, obviously these are rather lovely photos and you know i do feel sympathetic, having a four month old child and a dog, i remember having a small baby and having a holiday in ireland. i feel more sympathetic. but only a bit. i think it would have been helpful for borisjohnson to have think it would have been helpful for boris johnson to have appeared think it would have been helpful for borisjohnson to have appeared on think it would have been helpful for boris johnson to have appeared on tv and said something during the a—levels car crash. it wouldn't have takena a—levels car crash. it wouldn't have taken a huge amount out of his day. i think it is a shame he didn't. i hope they will start to get a grip, because ijust think it is not good. a final note on a holiday theme, the sunday mirror, a bit of holiday

misery for harry maguire, the england and manchester united star and this whole... well, what shall we call it? incident! he is a very silly boy isn't he? you may say that. but also the sunday mirror has an angle it was claimed this brawl that he appears to have been involved in, started with the stabbing of his sister dazy. involved in, started with the stabbing of his sister dazym sounds more like a poking. she seems to have been poked with a sharp stick. it is a story we have seen so many times of you know overpaid sports person gets in brawl. there is the suggestion he may pay his way out of trouble and it is peanuts to him. but! out of trouble and it is peanuts to him. but i wonder if you he might fa ncy him. but i wonder if you he might fancy his day in court. whether it is his people putting out a storey, it sounds like people were goading

him and bothering his sister and there is no excuse for physical violence, i wonder if he might putting his side of the case in the court. we will see. catherine, sunday telegraph has rishi sunak talking about launching a war on waste. this is a fascinating little fa ct waste. this is a fascinating little fact which i didn't know and i'm not sure whether it is true, the paper is saying that it is going to cost £350 million for a new head quarters for the body which is replacing public health england? yes i did find that aston sishing. 0k —— astonishing. is it necessary to spend 350 million when our national debt has gone over two trillion for the first time. the sums that the government have been spending are eye watering, but at some point, as we know, there is no magic money tree, although apparently the

conservatives found it. but it will have to be paid for. it is good news, rishi sunak is obviously father christmas with his handouts, but he will have to turn into scrooge. but he will have to turn into scrooge. so they will be the ipa, the infrastructure and projects authority, will be looking closely at how money is spent and allocated to big building infrastructure projects. because of course we know from h52 and from cross rail, which i was never convinced of need for cross rail and it has been delayed again and costs are still rising, but we don't have decent transport in the north of england. sol but we don't have decent transport in the north of england. so i think this is good news and i'm happy to see this. james you think couldn't the replacement for public health england use the building that public health england was using? listen, there is no shortage of buildings

going around. but you don't need a building, everyone is working from home. you need labs and stuff, but there is plenty of those that could have been used that were not. this story, i love it, it starts with a headline of war on waste, which sounds exciting, and then it is quite a boring technical story, but has a great top bit about rishi sunak is going to go to war against poorly thought out infrastructure projects. now, what could he be thinking of, perhaps a bridge to ireland from scotland ? thinking of, perhaps a bridge to ireland from scotland? who suggested that. or a garden bridge that cost londoners millions. a skyline we have in london that no one uses. that would seem a pointed comment aimed at his boss, to me. catherine we have got these horrific fires in california. which are becoming more and more... common and more and more

ferocious and more and more dangerous and president trump has declared it a major disaster, that helps release federal funds and the independent on sunday with a graphic picture from california. yes, it is a striking image, the firefighters against the flames. it does come around seemingly more and more often again as we have seen before these are some of the worst fires they have had. of course it is only a few months when it was sumner australia we months when it was sumner australia we “— months when it was sumner australia we “ summer months when it was sumner australia we —— summer in australia and we had horrendous fires. you know, it is a wa ke horrendous fires. you know, it is a wake up call. it doesn't help that donald trump is not a great believer in climate change. but these things are happening more, the world is getting hotter, we are bothering about brexit, well we are not, we

are bothering about virus, but global warming is the biggest challenge that we face. to our survival as a species and a planet. bad news in california again. now let's finish with john lewis. bad news in california again. now let's finish withjohn lewis. this is one of the most famous slogans, never knowingly undersold. they may get rid of that slogan. it is an interesting story for what it says about modern britain. john lewis are facing criticism for keeping the slogan. it speaks of role of shops in our life going forward. stories about marks and spencers are always front—page news, but most of their business is online and they cannot

keep this never knowingly undersold, because so many competitors that may well undersell them. it speaks to physical shops and their role and the nature of shopping that people are shopping more online, it is one of big changes that coronavirus has inflicted on us all. that we will be living with, it is probably going to stick around in the future. john lewis is one of big retail institutions, that is of course under massive threat at the moment and the paper talks about sharon white, its new chairman, trying to savejohn white, its new chairman, trying to save john lewis. yes, it is difficult for the high street at the moment, as we know and john lewis, their online sales have surged. but you can understand why they are now going to remove this slogan, because it only applied to goods bought in store. i bought a tv last week,

great excitement, i bought it online. i wouldn't have dreamt and going around the stores looking at tvs. that is a slogan. it is a shame, but it is a slogan that belongs to a different time and they're looking at who will different their waitrose groceries, because 0cado will be delivering for m&s. there is a suggestion that it is amazon. i hope not, because amazon is getting too powerful. there is an interview with the sunday times magazine. big plug.|j think our slogan, could be never knowingly undersold or never knowingly undersold or never knowingly underreported. 0r something like that. thank you. enjoy your sunday. that is it for the papers this morning. goodbye from all of us.

good morning. i found good morning. ifound some sunshine in cambridgeshire. but you can see the showers brewing up and there could be showers into the afternoon. thicker cloud in the north and west. beautiful scene in cumbria. but threatening looking sky. we won't see much significant rain. the cloud amounts, the thickest are in the north and west. the best of sunshine in eastern areas. we have some showery rain in northern ireland and southern scotland and perhaps the la ke southern scotland and perhaps the lake district. that will move eastwards into the afternoon, perhaps taking some showers to the east of the pennines and maybe into east anglia. south of that it should be fine and dry and still some blustery winds gusting 25mph in places. a dry story into scotland as well. but a northerly breeze making it feel cool. 13 to 15 degree it is

high. elsewhere up to 20 degrees. some clear skies tonight, but rain pushing into the south—west of glams. —— england and wales. in scotla nd glams. —— england and wales. in scotland temperatures falling away and we could see low single figures in sheltered glens of scotland. that is not what you wants to hear for the end of august. a settled start for scotland and northern england. about improving picture in the afternoon and faechlts about where they should be for the time of year. highest values of 12 to 21 degrees. we change gear into tuesday and low pressure will bring wet and windy weather and it will stay with us for some time. tuesday, but maybe into the early hours of wednesday, more gales could lead to some travel

disruption. let's look at that in minister detail. —— more detail. a bla nkets minister detail. —— more detail. a bla n kets of minister detail. —— more detail. a blankets of rain pushing across the country. it will be sitting into northern ireland and pushing into central scotland as well during the afternoon. and some strong to gale force winds, in excess of 50mph. the met office have issued warnings for this storm. under the cloud and rain, 15 to 17 degrees. squally showers following behind and a maximum of 21 celsius. you want to know what is in store for the rest week. when will we see some sunshine. we will next weekend and next weekend in northern ireland and england and wales is a bank holiday. but look amount these temperatures. that is because once we get rid of the showers through the middle of

the showers through the middle of the week, a northerly wind will kick in and that will have an impact on temperatures. we may see dry weather the temperatures disappointing for the temperatures disappointing for the time of year.
