government to make sure that the government to make sure that the testing capacity is in place. president trump has nominated the conservative judge, amy coney barrett, to fill the vacant seat on the us supreme court. detectives investigating the fatal shooting of a police officer in south london on friday say four crime scenes are being searched. fresh anti—government protests are expected in belarus, as president macron of france joins calls for alexander lu kashenko to step down. time for the latest sport round up now — with jane dougall. the handball law had everybody talking yesterday as two penalties decided two games — one leaving a premier league manager absolutely fuming. amid the var bedlam, the four games shared 15 goals with everton top of the table, chelsea scrambling a draw and manchester united leaving it very, very late to beat brighton. ben croucher has the story.
9:31 am
if you want to set the tone for a crazy day in the premier league, step forward neal maupay. commentator: that is the touch of a confident player! this was just the start. brighton hit the goalframe five times. manchester united had two goals disallowed but still led 2—1 until the 95th minute. then solly march, 2—2. beware the ides, though, and watch your hands. maupay thought he'd got away with this, but var sees everything, and the brighton striker couldn't watch as bruno fernandes scored a 100th minute winner. marks out of ten, boss? happiness is ten today, for the three points, but the performance don't get anywhere near ten, no. i think we all know that. this handball law might be getting low grades too. what do you make of this in the crystal palace—everton game? only one opinion really matters, not that everybody agreed with it. joel ward looks mystified. crystal palace with disbelieving looks. richarlison had little sympathy,
9:32 am
to send everton to the top of the league. roy hodgson had little comprehension for the lawmakers. i do not understand how we in football — and i'm talking now about the premier league, i'm talking about referees, i'm talking about managers, i'm talking about coaches, and i'm talking about players — i do not understand how we have allowed this rule to come into operation. for me it's completely unacceptable, and i've got to be honest with you, it's certainly destroying my enjoyment of the game of football. var controversies, danny ings scoring, you can rely on the premier league for some things. this strike gave southampton their first win of the season. the video assistant couldn't help burnley with this chris wood tumble, though, leaving yet another manager unhappy. frank lampard will not have been too chuffed at chelsea's defending either. he signed a new keeper on thursday, dropped their normal one yesterday and started a third at west brom, only to see his side 3—0 down at half—time. at least three second—half goals, including a 93rd minute equaliser from tammy abraham, could make him smile — on the inside. ah, the premier league. never change.
9:33 am
ben croucher, bbc news. the top four are all in action in the scottish premiership this afternoon. kilmarnock are up to fifth, after beating st mirren to send them to the foot of the table. and that helped livingstone to move off the bottom, with a 2—0 win over stjohnstone. man of the match was scott tiffoney, who scored their first goal and set up the second. tottenham's new signing alex morgan has yet to make her debut. the ameican double world cup winner was on the bench but she didn't make it on to the pitch — and she watched her side lose 4—0 to arsenal in the women's fa cup quarter final. jordan nobbs got the first before lisa evans scored a hattrick. we obviously want trophies this year and the fa cup is the big one that everyone wants to win. two fa cups. it showed how tough it was so we need to make sure the whole squad is fit and ready to go because we have a lot of games
9:34 am
coming up but i think we put in a great performance. exeter are through to rugby union's champions cup finalfor the first time. they went behind twice against the four—time winners toulouse, before pulling away to win by 28 points to 18 — joe simmonds with the pick of their tries. they'll face racing 92 for the title in three weeks' time. after they knocked out the defending champions saracens 19—15. scottish fly half finn russell's clever kick helping to set up the only try of the match. that's sarries last european game for a least a couple of seasons, thanks to their relegation for breaking financial rules. it was a very dramatic qualifying session for lewis hamilton who did take pole position at the russian grand prix, despite coming within a second of qualifying way down in 15th. there were two minutes and 15 seconds left for hamilton to complete his lap in the second knockout session, he made it to the line but onlyjust! he then broke the track record in the final session,
9:35 am
to claim poll for today's race where he can equal michael schumacher‘s all—time record of 91 grand prix victories — so who's the better driver? we were going to hear from we were going to hearfrom mark webber there, maybe next time. england's nat sciver said she'd been saving her best for the bbc, after a match—winning performance in the third t20 against west indies. that gave england victory in the series, with two matches to spare. sciver scored 82 offjust 61 balls, as they set the visitors 155 to win. deandra dottin hit a half—century in response, but it wasn't enough, and the west indies fell 20 runs short. it was the first women's cricket to be shown live on bbc tv for 27 years and sciver said that had been on their minds, because of the huge numbers watching. the reach of the games that have
9:36 am
been on bbc and on sky, you see the massive difference. it's great. we've been joking that we were waiting for the bbc to play our best, but it's brilliant to be available to everyone, really. you're up to date with the sport, now on bbc news, it's time for the papers. hello and welcome to our look at this morning's papers. with me are anna mikhailova of the mail on sunday and james rampton of the independent. borisjohnson is boris johnson is facing borisjohnson is facing a massive parliamentary revolt over a new he is imposing coronavirus restrictions
9:37 am
without consulting mps according to the observer which calls the new rules covid diktats. hundreds of doctors, nurses and volunteers who contributed to the fight against coronavirus will be recognised in the queen's with the owners, according to the sunday express the sunday telegraph leads on a message on to charles who has written 1 million young people could need urgent help as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. they also carry a picture of the younger royals who met with sir david attenborough at a screening of his new documentary. where the naturalist gave prince george a prehistoric shark tooth. a war on toxic us foods is the mail on sunday's headlines. reports on the chefs, celebrities and charity is urging borisjohnson to block substandard food for the into the uk after brexit. a donor whose spurn was given to gay couples against his will has won a huge pay—out from an
9:38 am
ivf clinic according to the sunday mirror. let's begin, james, start with the observer. it is saying that only is borisjohnson facing observer. it is saying that only is boris johnson facing a revolt observer. it is saying that only is borisjohnson facing a revolt on the so—called covid diktats working outside parliament with the covid rules, but also not good news in opinion polls. what as johnson may well have been choking on his brea kfast well have been choking on his breakfast which we just learned this week he would have to pay for himself as well. the news is not goodin himself as well. the news is not good in the polls. labour have gone three points ahead, after being 26 points down at the beginning of lockdown in march. i think people are reacting against the illogicality of many of these rules, 30 people are allowed at funerals which i can understand but only 15 at weddings, where is the logic? i think there is also a great kick against these diktats because government figures themselves have
9:39 am
not been seen to obey them. we all remember barnard castle dates were dominic cummings went on a jaunt to durham and then barnard castle and broke, apparently broke the lockdown rules but then refused to resign. i think that has undermined trust and confidence in the government. and that adds to the sense we are being led by a confederacy of dunces. an hour, do you think the government cared too much about opinion polls with an 80 seat majority and years until the next election. this government cares a lot about opinion polls and there are some people who say it is currently governed by opinion polls. obviously they do their own. i think they absolutely will. one interesting thing, on the rebellion looming in this week's without, the tory whips were ringing tory mps yesterday trying to get them to get them to support their measure and argue why they don't wa nt measure and argue why they don't want the bill amended. essentially
9:40 am
for parliament not to have a vote on future lockdown measures. they were deploying two arguments. one was that the legislation, the amendment may not be selected. two, it will play into keir starmer‘s hands if it is. they were really trying to warn them this is something the opposition might be able to use to their advantage. of course an opinion poll like that will be front and centre in their concerns. james, let's go to the sunday times. they have got world beating in inverted commas, shambles dogs nhs testing app. criticisms of testing, test and trace. the criticism has dogged the government and this is saying the they knew at only about one third of tests are appearing on the new nhs app. yes, the government is consistently being beaten with that word, world beating, very u nfortu nate word, world beating, very unfortunate that borisjohnson use that because i'm afraid we've only
9:41 am
been world beating in the number of people who have died from coronavirus. i hate to say that but it's been an absolute shambles. the sense this is a government that could not run a drink in a brewery continues. they spent £11 million deriding other offers and launching their own app which they abandoned injune and now they're huge singing and dancing launch, advertise on the front page of all the papers yesterday, has crashed and as you said one third of people cannot register their tests from public health england on it. it's a disaster. another factor that seems to be playing into the idea we are being led by foals. the sunday telegraph has prince charles talking about 1 the sunday telegraph has prince charles talking about1 million young people in urgent need of help because of the crisis, we are seeing stu d e nts because of the crisis, we are seeing students locked into their halls of residence in self isolation, just as
9:42 am
they are going to university. such a miserable time but it is so bad for the young people and the students who are just trying to make the most of their university careers. yeah, and that side, for a long—term point of view young people will be the worst affected by the economic crisis, a crisis unlikely financial crash where a lot ofjobs this time around are not focused —— are focused on specific industries and a lot of those are those that specifically employ young people. prince charles is right to raise awareness. i'm not sure what he can constructively do but it is certainly caught young people are certainly caught young people are certainly going to be among the losers in this crisis. an stuff with the student is so devastating, they are paying huge fees to sit often in their room in rented accommodation that they are paying for, they cannot go to class and now they
9:43 am
can't meet other students. it really is appalling. and mostly because the testing system is not working properly. let's pick up on that, james, in the observer, page six picture of students in glasgow, we came all this way to start a new life, the misery of glasgow's lockdown freshers. absolutely. very good piece in the observer. i thought they've spoken to several stu d e nts thought they've spoken to several students in glasgow. i was very struck this week, bbc news interviewed a young woman who arrived in glasgow can't put in a flat with six people she never met before and within a week was told to lock down. how bizarre. how awful is that, having to be confined, they may be lovely but you've no idea what these other people are like. i resent the fact young people are being blamed for being young. certain tabloid newspapers have been totting that they should not be going out. but the universities,
9:44 am
have they been greedy? have urged them to come back can't possibly ensure they get their fees and then stu d e nts ensure they get their fees and then students are being castigated for a meeting each other and getting to know each other which is what freshers are supposed to do. it's a dreadful situation for them and my heart goes out to all the young people in this awful situation. and oui’ people in this awful situation. and our code is your view about the universities? the labour party are saying the government should be guaranteeing students can come home for christmas. matt hancock said earlier this week he could not rule out the might have to stay at their university halls of residence over christmas. what do you make of that? just today oliver dowden has been out saying he cannot guarantee they will be home for christmas. still very much the government line. i think that is very disappointing and just a total shambles, why is it there cannot be a testing system in
9:45 am
place to allow people to do that? lots of people make the point families are very careful about their loved ones and for christmas, if the younger generation is going to be seeing the older generation, often people take precautions, they will self—isolate for a bit, keep separate, and it is going to be very disappointing if lots of families are separated this christmas, like that. james, let's go to the inside of the mail on sunday. they have got a follow up on the horrific shooting in croydon of the police custody sergeant and saying that he had a plan to marry his partner. the police sometimes right click it criticised and there has been a lot about a police activity in the black lives matter or no campaign however we should never forget the astonishing bravery —— neverforget
9:46 am
the bravery and courage of these people who put ourselves in the line of fire for our sakes. —— put themselves in the line of fire. he was very popular with all his colleagues, ironically enough, he took a deskjob because he thought it would be less dangerous, and was very close to retirement and then gets gunned down by a man who was handcuffed in a cell. it is tragic and that is an overused words by journalist but in this case it really applies. bbc critic set for top jobs in broadcasting. what's on the paper is talking about a potential revolution in british broadcasting. this is because charles moore has been tipped for the chairmanship of the bbc and paul dacre is in line for the topjob at bbc and paul dacre is in line for the top job at ofcom. that would set the top job at ofcom. that would set the cat amongst the pigeons in both cases.
9:47 am
james, what are your thoughts? to continue and our‘s metaphor it is like putting a fox in charge of the hen house. they have made their careers out of attacking the bbc, charles moore proudly says he never watches television, i think it would be very strange if he was put in charge of the bbc. there are questions that if he will have gone through the proper process because it is supposed to be an open application process and there are questions about that. the only thing i would say in favour of paul dacre andi i would say in favour of paul dacre and i never thought i would use that phrase, is he has been highly critical of google and facebook in the past and that would follow under his remit at ofcom and it would be great if you could crack down on those companies' excesses. the mail on sunday, jamie's wore on toxic us foods, potential after brexit, worries about american food imports
9:48 am
in particular. this is another looming moment in parliament where mps will be voting on an agriculture bill and other are huge concerns from a whole number of mps about the idea in eight us trade deal in particular the uk will end up losing our standard and food. we've gotjoe wicks and jamie oliver writing and pleading with the prime minister to preserve food standards, not let in hormone beef, beef height and hormones and chlorinated chicken. that's another big bulk line in the next few weeks. james, where are we on the talks for a brexit trade deal? we spent so much time talking about coronavirus we tend to forget about coronavirus we tend to forget about those very important negotiations. whoever thought we would miss brexit? it is something that's been pushed to decide which is bizarre given how obsessed we all work with it this time year. i
9:49 am
believe the talks are still very much in the balance. you are hearing mixed messages, the government sometimes puts out positive messages that get knocked back by brussels. i would say at the prospect of no deal is highly alarming. the plans put out this week for potentially a passport to enter kent seems to be com pletely passport to enter kent seems to be completely bizarre to me. the majority of people in kent are voted for brexit, is that what they voted for, to have a two day queue of lorries passing through their county? and also potentially a passport to enter. it seems we've gone through the looking glass and entered wonderland. anna, sunday times, very fascinating what's going on in america with the supreme court. donald trump's unveiled his nominee to become supreme court justice that would tip the balance
9:50 am
on the supreme court to six conservative leaning judges to three liberal leaning judges. he has nominated amy coney barrett, a catholic conservative and exactly as you say, this is the great concern that ruth bader ginsburg had before she died the appointment would be made before the election and the balance would be swayed and all of this plays into the huge debate in america over what this could mean for laws on abortion, on what people concerned about a claw—back of freedoms and liberalism and it is a watch this space. it's a very big issue. it's amazing, james, donald trump's legacy, however you want to see that, may be the most significant legacy may be what he has done to the supreme court in terms of appointing three conservative judges in only four yea rs. conservative judges in only four years. absolutely. all three of them in their own way is very
9:51 am
controversial. you remember at the incendiary hearings for brett kavanaugh's appointment. i agree absolutely with anna it will imperil possibly roe versus wade, the landmark right for women to choose whether or not to have an abortion. women's campaigners are quite justly very concerned. she also had a record of supporting gun rights and also being very anti—environmental movement. that is alarming. i agree the biggest role could be in deciding the election. president trump is already saying it will be rigged, seems to be setting up a rerun of too thousand, hanging chads and florida which was eventually resolved by the supreme court. now donald trump has a 6—3 majority he may well be rubbing his hands at the prospect it will be decided by the supreme court. that end, anna, with a lovely picture in nearly all the
9:52 am
papers of sir david attenborough at kensington palace with the duke and duchess of cambridge. and their family. for a showing of his latest documentary. the panic princess charlotte could not believe her eyes when she saw it really was —— and a p pa re ntly when she saw it really was —— and apparently the young princess charlotte could not believe her eyes when she saw it was sir david attenborough. lovely pictures of a national treasure david attenborough. i forward he really is a national treasure. i suppose the combination of him and the royals makes quite an impact. absolutely. some of the most popular people in the country all in beautifully coordinated blue. if there were, and i don't which this at all, a decision by prince charles to abdicate at some point a natural choice for monarch would be sir david attenborough. he is the most popular person in the country, all the polling shows, after the queen. i'm starting a campaign here, bring on king david. ourfirst ever king
9:53 am
david, but the best. not king james! thank you, james. eurovision has been fuzzy pub you loud and i thank you, anna as well — your loud and i thank you, anna as well —— your vision has been fozzy but we've heard you loud and clear. headlines at the top of the hour but that's it from me. over the weekend we've seen in sunnier skies and lighter winds across western uk. four eastern areas in particular eastern england and london much more cloud, some rain and felt colder than it should do it for the time of year. this is a flavour of what's to come for the week ahead. this theme will be pretty consistent, near—normal temperatures for the start of the week and wednesday onwards it gets
9:54 am
cooler and more unsettled and wetter and win there. at the moment we still have that knowledge it winds and it is stronger across the north—east of the uk —— south—east of the uk. new winds ease during the afternoon. still a lot of card for eastern england, drier day on saturday. elsewhere there will be lots of sunshine around after a chilly start and it should not feel too bad in the sunshine, 18 celsius in cardiff. not as chilly in norwich as the past couple of days. where we've had some flooding and lots of rain. moving into monday, rain coming in from the atlantic, instead ofa coming in from the atlantic, instead of a northerly wind we have atlantic winds, not as chilly. still a lot of cloud to clear it through east anglia and the south—east, here is the next weather front bringing patchy rain for western areas, behind that rain we get some sunshine. temperatures back up to around 17 or 18 celsius. near—normal for the time of year. that weather
9:55 am
for the time of year. that weather for the time of year. that weather for the matches eastwards over night. not a great deal of rain but it slows down and slows down and comes to a halt across east anglia and the south—east of england. lots of cloud and may be patchy rain from time to time through tuesday. from here it looks like lots of dry weather, slight ridge in the pressure pattern and sunshine. temperatures still reaching 17 celsius at best. into wednesday, this is where we start to seek the weather changing because we've got an area of low pressure coming in from the atlantic, strengthening the winds and these weather fronts look much more active. for many eastern areas it may start dry on wednesday with sunshine but becoming cloudy. rainfor with sunshine but becoming cloudy. rain for western areas and slowly moving north and east. this rain could be heavy as well. some stronger winds, especially for the south—west. temperatures still 16 or 17 celsius, away from scotland and northern ireland. thursday, that
9:56 am
weather front moves through it but you are weather front moves through it but you a re left weather front moves through it but you are left with an area of low pressure which will be sitting with us pressure which will be sitting with us for a little while. heading further north it takes the wetter weather into northern england, scotla nd weather into northern england, scotland and perhaps northern ireland. in the south it is drier with sunshine but some quite strong winds. and it is cooler air. temperatures back down to 12—15, lower than normal for the time of year. that is because the position of the jet stream is changing, that's the high level wind flow, it dived to the south dock keeps us on the cooler side of the jet in the cooler air. with that orientation of the jet stream you find an area of low pressure in that the dip which will drift northwards and essentially dominate the weather into the outlook for the following weekend and perhaps into monday as well. essentially it is unsettled next weekend. and rather cool as well because of the position of the jet stream. there could be heavy

this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. our top stories... thousands of students across the uk are forced to self—isolate due to coronavirus outbreaks. the labour party calls on the government to promise students will be able to go home for christmas. stu d e nts students have been done either on their a—levels, they had been done ever on freshers week. the government has threatened to lock them up in university and when they graduate they could be facing long—term unemployment. president trump nominates the conservative judge, amy coney barrett, to fill the vacant seat on the us supreme court. she is a woman of unparalleled achievement, towering intellect, sterling credentials and unyielding loyalty to the constitution.
