special, both are eight shots back. andy swiss rounds up the best of yesterday's action... perfect conditions at augusta for some near—perfect golf as dustinjohnson set about proving just why he's the world number one. this guy's on fire. the american was soon surging clear but among the chasers was rory mcilroy, an excellent 67 from him, but he'll need something extraordinary today. other hopes, though, may have already vanished. not even the woods could rescue woods. tiger's title defence surely over. and chances of an english winner are also fading, a disappointing 76 forjustin rose and although he conjured one of the shots of the day... he hasn't.. 0h, he has! ..there wasn't much else to smile about. instead there were more unheralded challenges. south korea's sung—jae i'm making his move. but it's dustinjohnson that leads the way, a superb round from him and on this form, he'll take some beating. andy swiss, bbc news.

putt of the day though went to bernard langer in the red trousers. all 63 feet of it. even rory mcilroy looked impressed as the 63—year—old proved he can still cut it with the young guns. lewis hamilton's in line to win his seventh formula one world title today at the turkish grand prix. his team mate valterri bottas can stop him but needs to outscore hamilton by seven points or more. that will be tricky though as he starts from ninth. the wet conditions throwing up some unusual results in qualifying. hamilton only starts from sixth. it's the canadian lance stroll who's on pole. it's the first time this season a mercedes hasn't been at the front of the grid, but hamilton is still odds at the front of the grid, but hamilton is still odds on to pull level with schumacher‘s record of seven titles.

michael schumacher turned effectively saw his whole career now turned motor sport and follows to have achieved and hopefully, today, equalled his record of championships and beaten all the other records, he is truly one of the greats of our sport and it's fantastic to see, especially since he is british. ireland's katie taylor underlined her status as the world's best as she defended all four of her belts at wembley arena last night and then promised her best is yet to come. taylor beat the spaniard miriam gutierrez, who was previously unbeaten, on a points decision — but in truth that never looked in doubt with the champion in control throughout, and sending gutierrez to the floor in round four. hearn called her the greatest ever in women's boxing. hard to disagree. terence crawford retained his wbo world welterweight title crown by beating brit kell brook in four rounds in las vegas. it was in the fourth round where former ibf welterweight champion brook, was caught by a right hand from the american, who then landed

a flurry of shots before the referee stepped in and stopped the fight. the win means 33—year—old crawford is unbeaten in 37 fights. finally, could today possibly mark the start of a career in management for england's record goalscorer wayne rooney? he's one of four caretaker coaches to take temporary charge of derby county after the championship side sacked manager philip cocu last night. rooney, who's in a player—coach role, will help oversee training along with shay given, liam rosenior and justin walker. derby are rock bottom of the table with just one win from their first 11 games. that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, here's the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be to what the the papers. joining me is david wooding, the political editor of the sun on sunday and the journalist and author, shyama perera. a dream team, as ever. welcome to both and thank you for being wet this sunday morning. let's run through what the front pages are showing us. ..the telegraph, which leads on the political upheaval of the past two days. it says downing street has slammed "vicious and cowardly‘" attacks on the prime minister's fiance, carrie symonds. events leading up to the departure of domonic cummings is also the focus of the sunday mirror, which carries this headline — believed to be used by some in downing street to describe ms symonds. the pm is urged to "hold his nerve" by the sunday express, as it claims brexiteers continue to back mrjohnson. the sunday times says one

of britain's most influential lobbyists secretly served as an adviser to a health ministerfor six months — before sending sensitive information on lockdown policy to paying clients. the observer reports on claims that the prime minister's new press chief, allegra stratton, was left in tears after negative briefings made by the former director of communications, lee cain. and the mail on sunday leads on the palace's anger over netflix tv series, the crown. the paper claims friends of prince charles are furious at producers, accusing them of "trolling on a hollywood budget". so let's begin. let's kick off with the matter. shyama, princess nut nuts is allegedly what carry simon's has been called by the other faction who opposed her —— carrie symonds. a week of

soap opera at number ten. who needs coronation street when you have downing street. i know. ifind coronation street when you have downing street. i know. i find there isa downing street. i know. i find there is a very funny when i saw this morning, but actually what i think it's really telling is the use of language here because it confirms from you that there is there's a lavish culture within a number 10. the idea that he women in her 30s who is a professional woman who has done fantastically well for herself before hooking up with the panel, before hooking up with the panel, before he was a prime minister of course, before hooking up with boris, is a princess, which suggest petulant, diminutive, child, spoiled, isjust per petulant, diminutive, child, spoiled, is just per discrimination on the grounds of gender and this age compared to her boyfriend. she may be young computer by phone, but she is in her 30s. it is quite funny. i love the nut nuts because

you could interpret that in so many different ways. dave, you have the inside track on what happens in downing street. what has been going on there? we read about the different factions, the different personalities, text messages, whatsapp messages, it has a story of amazing palace intrigue, isn't it? there is clearly a power struggle going on in downing street for the aid of the prime minister and there has been a lot of concern over re ce nt has been a lot of concern over recent months about just what a stranglehold dominic cummings, his most senior adviser, had over the prime minister. and of course carrie symonds, his great fiance is a former special adviser for two ministers and a comes professional in herown ministers and a comes professional in her own right. she was director of comms for the conservative party. she knows hand to handle communications. it is not inconceivable that she has been

telling her future husband where things are going wrong and eventually he has listened to her. i do not like the story, i have to say. i find it really quite nasty. i do not like it for two reasons. one, it was and one of the papers four days ago. i read this phrase princess nut nuts and... and it is deeply, deeply unpleasant. it is misogynistic, it is a horrible way to describe somebody and if they have used that expression, which i had not heard before i had read it two days ago, ijust think it is showing how low some people have sunk inside numberio. showing how low some people have sunk inside number 10. shyama showing how low some people have sunk inside number10. shyama let's move on to the sunday telegraph. their take is that downing street have slammed cowardly and vicious attacks on the premise a's partner. inflammatory claims that mr

johnson's the answer is trying to run government by whatsapp. claims that she has been on a whatsapp group changing policy decisions late at night and that is one of the reasons we have seen the u—turns from the government. reasons we have seen the u—turns from the governmentlj reasons we have seen the u—turns from the government. i have to say i do not know how many people are members of whatsapp groups. i belong to quite a few and, you know, that being from being on them any more than four people, it is impossible to either have a structure to the conversation to determine direction of travel or indeed to know what the consensus is by the time you have finished reading through threads. a p pa re ntly finished reading through threads. apparently ms symonds can send 25 texts to her husband or her husband to be per hour along with 20 whatsapp groups, raising a new baby and running around, i do not think there will be much decision—making

in the whatsapp groups. the telegraph touches on this. it is just an attempt to throw bile and vitriol at the government. i think there are so many legitimate reasons for doing that, that this spurious story is not really necessary. 0k. dave, let's look at the sunday times. they have an inside spread by times. they have an inside spread by tim shipman, a political editor which is a graphic picture of caddie, boris and dominic saying three of them in this marriage, a reference to diana's famous interview about charles and camilla 25 years ago. i suppose a lot of people may say it is a soap opera, but what does it actually mean for real people? there are political implications of all this, out there? yes we on the sun on sunday always ta ke yes we on the sun on sunday always take the view that the backroom boys

and girls have not real interest to oui’ and girls have not real interest to our readers. they want to know what the prime minister is doing and what are the senior members of his cabinet are doing and dominic cummings should not be in the news. and the fact that he became the story by that trip to barnard castle shows where he was going on. the same thing happened back in the tony blair years with alistair campbell. once his name became known, it's a bit like, using it for panaji, the starting on the pitch. you do not wa nt starting on the pitch. you do not want to hear about the team in the background — — want to hear about the team in the background —— using a football analogy. this piece by tim shipping, it isa analogy. this piece by tim shipping, it is a book. you have joy is working on a project paper where you have space. he tells every dot, what we nt have space. he tells every dot, what went on and what led to these resignations. the two bits i like best, if you can give you the nuggets. in its simplest form, it

was a... dominic cummings in lee cain where the campaigners who help deliver brexit and then an 80 seat majority for a better chance. suddenly, when he got allegra stratton and it has new press striker teddy and he is talking more to carrie symonds, they want him to be more like the centrist mayor who wofi be more like the centrist mayor who won the elections for london defeat is used as boris has finally decided he wants to be in the prime minister rather than a kidnap victim, showing the view that dominic cummings had in fact taking control of the number 10 operation. at the end, an intriguing little eye that said dominic cummings's verbic at moment is to pull a pen from imaginary high—grade and throw the green over his shoulder as he leaves the room. everyone has embraced ——

an imaginary hand grenade and throw it over his shoulder into the room. shyama, if we just going to the observer and dave was a mentioning allegra stratton. she is the other major personality and there is a clash of personalities, as it would appear. she is going to be the new face of downing street, doing these tv briefings from the new year. it is alleged that she is on carrie symonds aside against lee cain and dominic cummings and the observer's story as she was left in tears by these various attacks. yes, i have to say this morning, as a woman, as someone who identifies as a woman, i find all of the coverage of allegra stratton and carrie symonds has a sort of... it has a slight streak to it. you know, the idea that she was in tears or morning, the way that it is put, it suggests somebody who is

weak and upset and whatever. when actually, i do not why it is, but a lot of women to respond to anger by tears of rage. i wish they had just said she raged around all morning, driven to tears by the latest set of allegations which are... to which she has to grapple with. ijust wish that the tears were put into a context because otherwise i think it does sort of play into the dominic cummings narrative. 0k. does sort of play into the dominic cummings narrative. ok. we were talking a bit about the implications, political impatience of this. at this and talking about whether it might mean a bit of what they call it backsliding on brexit in terms of the new trade deal if there is going to be a trade deal with the eu. will the fact that the vote leaf action are leaving downing street, will that —— vote leave.

vote leaf action are leaving downing street, will that -- vote leave. we had about 50 days unless to the end of the transition period on december the 31st. there is undoubtedly concern at the loss of the mastermind of the brexit campaign, dominic cummings, will affect that. one of the reasons i think boris johnson liked to have dominic cummings on the payroll was that he has been dubbed a career psychopath by david cameron, the ex prime minister. that actually focus the minds of the european union like negotiators because when he said he was ready to drive britain over the edge of a cliff and a lever 30 deal, they actually believed when and this has brought them to a negotiation table and start to behave a little bit more in a way —— leave without a deal. and they have started to behave with a bit more compromise.

when negotiations are getting a bit down to detail, and both sides know they have to come to some kind of deal, maybe perhaps they will be a bit more give and we will get a deal over the line. but borisjohnson has said that it will not affect brexit and he is determined to get that deal and i think it is in the interests of both sides to do so. all right. there are other stories he will be glad to know, viewers in the sunday papers today. shyama, let's look at the observer's front study about how the observer's front study about how the pandemic will double demand for council homes because so many people are out of work and being evicted from homes and so on. absolutely. theyis from homes and so on. absolutely. they is the tone change of study, really. they say 700,000 people are already in arrears with their rent which means, i imagine, that by the beginning of the new year, it could beginning of the new year, it could bei million people. what is going to happen to them? they will be out

of their privately rented homes and needing new places to live and we do not have any available through local councils. i think this... it is funny because at this is such a long debate in the city is particular, there is endless building that has been going on and yet it does not seem to do anything to allay the problem of people needing social housing or affordable housing. we are housing or affordable housing. we a re clearly housing or affordable housing. we are clearly heading to a major crisis and i say this every time that i am on with you, but i do stuff with our local mutual aid group and we have people who are really struggling to manage. furlough is great, but if you can only play 80% of your rent and 80% of your food, at some point that occurs. and you get to the stage where you cannot manage any more. —— that accrues. another impact of the

coronaviruses supermarkets have done pretty well because of the crisis, partly because of all the other nonessential shops being close. the sunday times's story is that they are enjoying a huge windfall and are giving money to their investors and so on and yet they have been benefiting from a holiday on business rates so it is all unfair. that is a story on the sunday times. yes so while the high street has undoubtedly been suffering because of the lock turns and are the one —— suffering because of markdowns. supermarkets have done well because people still need to buy food and they were open during that among three month total lockdown because people still have to buy their food, and their toilet rolls! their toilet rolls by the boatload. they have made a lot of money and paying big dividends out to those shareholders

and these are the big four, tesco, sainsbury, asda and morrisons, i think it is. there is pressure on them to pay that back now, {1.9 billion to the treasury as a result of this so again, this is the problem and there may be some other ones, some other anomalies unearthed. the problem of rushing into some treasury plans to give relief to businesses, obviously it was done quickly... problems and loopholes only emerge over time. shyama, let's talk about the crown. do you watch a? idea. but i stopped mercedes because i could not stand in colman, she is more like a courtier, rather than a queen and there is nothing going on behind the eyes. that is a

very quick review of the crown. the midlands and the story is that there is palace anger, perhaps not surprisingly, —— mail on sunday story. when shoppers ‘s friends calling it trolling on a hollywood budget. obviously it is a fictional, peter morgan's fictional take on the history of the royal family, but many people will watch it and because it is so beautifully made, they will believe it. i think the real problem is that in the early series, clare holman was so brilliant as the queen, and i cannot remember who played prince philip now, so you really believed what you are watching because it felt like there was an intelligent input into there was an intelligent input into the scriptwriting. they were really trying to understand how these two people might have communicated with each other and how situations happen. the problem now is you are

dealing with namely living people who are constantly changing within society, our society is moving at such great speed that they are all changing quickly. i think it is very difficult to actually try and understand how prince charles and things are how princess diana thought and obviously, the palace are getting really upset because this is about here and now. dave, a sign of the crown and i do think they have the right to bring dashing are you a fan and do you think they have the right to make tv drama out of this? i have not seen it. where have you been for the last five yea rs ? have you been for the last five years? too busy watching football. the crown, netflix had done a deal, a lucrative deal with harry and meghan, which is quite embarrassing for them because they promised to...

sound breaks up. study, dave were just losing study, dave werejust losing it there. let me go back to shyama. you could make quite a good tv series about what is going on in downing street, let alone the palace. you could. i'm going to be dead, as david has disappeared. there was one paragraph from the sunday times story that we were looking at any layer, about the three of the any marriage. where they say, the real story is the events of the last week, three meals that the prime minister had at chequers, coloured for dinners and a political funeral. it just for dinners and a political funeral. itjust made me laugh. —— call it four dinners and itjust made me laugh. —— call it fourdinners and a itjust made me laugh. —— call it four dinners and a political funeral. in the future they are just

going to write the most hilarious abortive around if dominic cummings had stayed, what if borisjohnson had stayed, what if borisjohnson had died of covid, what if that you can turn into fantastic nobles in a 40, 50 yea rs can turn into fantastic nobles in a 40, 50 years time. all right, well we will leave it on that wonderful thought. thank you, shyama for staying with us. dave has disappeared and you're looking wonderful in that one for kitchen of yea rs wonderful in that one for kitchen of years as wonderful in that one for kitchen of yea rs as ever. wonderful in that one for kitchen of years as ever. have a great day. thank you very much for looking through the newspapers for us. that's it for the papers this hour. goodbye for now. hello, the weather is set to cause us some disruption through the course of today. we've got a deep area of low pressure driving our weather, bringing some outbreaks of really heavy rain at times for many of us and also some strong winds, especially towards the south. so that deep area of low pressure

has been moving its way in from the west, sitting to the north of the uk, but it's to the south of that where you seeall these isobars here, all these isobars here, that we see the strongest of the winds. and a couple of weather fronts moving their way through as well. so we've had heavy rain earlier across the south—east, which will be clearing away into the afternoon, but then more showers rattling around that area of low pressure. nowhere really immune to catching outbreaks of rain. for scotland and northern ireland, the rain won't be quite as heavy, but it will be persistent and slow—moving in places. further south, look at the wind gusts this afternoon, up to about 60, even 70 miles per hour or more through the english channel. even inland gusts about 45 miles per hour, enough to bring down some small trees and a lot of debris on the roads as well. so temperatures only about eight to 11 degrees this afternoon, noticeably cooler air than we've had around recently. into this evening and tonight, then, still outbreaks of showery rain lingering for some of us, particularly through scotland, northern england as well. mostly dry further south, still enough of a breeze to keep things frost—free with overnight temperatures falling to around about five to nine degrees.

now, tomorrow's weather will be in between areas of low pressure. so today's low pressure clearing to the north—east,the next one the next one lining up in the atlantic but in between, just a bump of slightly higher pressure, so although we're likely to start off with a few showers, especially for scotland and northern england, they tend to fade away and there will be some drier and some slightly brighter weather tomorrow. it'll be breezy, but not as windy as today, but then more cloud and outbreaks of rain move in from the west later in the day. and again, those winds will be picking up later on. temperatures about ten to 13 degrees on monday. it remains reasonably mild, but also unsettled into the middle part of the week. so tuesday and into wednesday, the next area of low pressure and this quite active cold front sweeps eastwards across the uk, another spell of windy conditions as well. then it's going to be all change towards the end of the week. the mild and unsettled conditions get cleared away. we open the doors for this colder airflow to move in from the north. so the next few days, certainly unsettled, quite stormy at times, too. it turns a bit quieter, but also colder as we look towards the end of the week,

bye for now.
