10:30 pm
i remember it as amazing, with all the flags and tables decorated, food everywhere, everyone's laughing, having a great time. most of my family were there as well, having a good time, so it was really nice. that's a really nice photograph. eileen isjust 18 months younger than the queen. orla made the news a decade ago as a diamond jubilee baby. i think it's amazing that she's 96 and i don't know anyone in their 90s who's still working. she's more agile on her pins than i am! she's not bad for 96. she is very good for 96, definitely. first there was the victoria sponge, and now, inspired by the lemon posset served at the queen's wedding... does everybody want some? all: yes, please. all right, here we go, then. how else to finish a jubilee tea party than with a dollop of platinum pudding? tuck in. cheers. sarah campbell, bbc news.
10:31 pm
that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the author and journalist, emma woolf, and the broadcaster and journalist, james lewer. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... luckily for you to give us your take on the stories. there is a lot to talk about tonight. there is a lot to talk about tonight. the daily mail's front page is about the queen'sjubilee and describes it as an olive branch for harry and meghan. the mirror also has the queen's jubilee on the front page but instead focusses on the finale
10:32 pm
plan with prince charles, william and george. meanwhile, the times front page quotes the attorney—general suella braverman and her views on trans pupils saying that schools are under no leagal needed to take a much firmer line. the daily telegraph has a still from some footage they've obtained of a conservative mp's son — they say he is currently fighting alongside ukrainian soldiers. the guardian talks about the ministerial code changes and how opposition parties claim the prime minister is trying to "save his skin. " the i also focusses on politics but takes a different line. questioning whether conservators will be able to win the next election with a rather gloomy survey. those pictures with those seats they are trying to defend on the redwall.
10:33 pm
and the daily star highlights the plight of travellers trying to get away for half term with a picture of trafficjams. so let's begin... pam andjames, pam and james, let's pitch in. emma, do you want to kick it off tonight on this extraordinary story on the front of the telegraph? absolutely. we not to front of the telegraph? absolutely. we got to move or— front of the telegraph? absolutely. we got to move or will— front of the telegraph? absolutely. we got to move or will die. - front of the telegraph? absolutely. we got to move or will die. this . front of the telegraph? absolutely. we got to move or will die. this is | we got to move or will die. this is the 30—year—old son of helen grant. evan grant is the mp and the wheels. this is been granted former royal marine, an afghan veteran. he's been on the front line in ukraine since march. this is dramatic footage they've god. it was actually filmed on a helmet mounted camera. absolutely astonishing stuff. and there he is on the front line. we know there _ there he is on the front line. we know there was a bit of differences of opinion expressed in government about the legality of people going off to fight in a foreign war. there are those who say it is effectively
10:34 pm
are those who say it is effectively a legal for you as a british citizen to go and fight. obviously, ukrainians and dual nationals it's their country their defendant. presumably, it's probably very distressing for the family to find out on the front page. if it's known in ukraine that this guy is the son of in mp or backbench np and that is suddenly known in russia than an adds to his vulnerability vulnerability surveying. that's ossibl vulnerability surveying. that's possibly true. _ vulnerability surveying. that's possibly true. as _ vulnerability surveying. that's possibly true. as this - vulnerability surveying. that's possibly true. as this piece i vulnerability surveying. that's - possibly true. as this piece eludes you he _ possibly true. as this piece eludes you he didn't even tell his mother. he did _ you he didn't even tell his mother. he did that— you he didn't even tell his mother. he did that for a very good reason to protect — he did that for a very good reason to protect her as well. this is not the first— to protect her as well. this is not the first story of people going out to ukraine — the first story of people going out to ukraine off their own back and feeling _ to ukraine off their own back and feeling they have a duty to do it. what _ feeling they have a duty to do it. what a _ feeling they have a duty to do it. what a story in terms of what he's been able — what a story in terms of what he's been able to do in terms of a 40 minute— been able to do in terms of a 40 minute video where he saved a fellow sotdieh _ minute video where he saved a fellow soldier. just _ minute video where he saved a fellow soldier. just extraordinary stuff. it such _

they are — piece talks about is the fact that they are the latest 20 who have now put the _ they are the latest 20 who have now put the confidence letter and. that takes _ put the confidence letter and. that takes the _ put the confidence letter and. that takes the numberjust over 20, 22, something — takes the numberjust over 20, 22, something like that. but 54 still it way off— something like that. but 54 still it way off was of a long way to go. i think the — way off was of a long way to go. i think the hy— way off was of a long way to go. i think the by elections which will come _ think the by elections which will come onto another front pages well, that's— come onto another front pages well, that's can _ come onto another front pages well, that's can be key in terms of what might happen further down the line. emma, _ might happen further down the line. emma. how— might happen further down the line. emma, how do you feel about this? there's been a wait with there's a lot of expectations a look, things don't change is dramatically in the space of a few days, in a situation like this. but it's the a mood music thing. how do you feel the music is at the end of the week? {iii thing. how do you feel the music is at the end of the week?— at the end of the week? of course. can i at the end of the week? of course. can i point — at the end of the week? of course. can i point out. _ at the end of the week? of course. can i point out, we don't _ at the end of the week? of course. can i point out, we don't know - at the end of the week? of course. can i point out, we don't know how many letters there are. sir graham brady does not let out how many letters of no confidence he has let out. he doesn't tell his wife, apparently that's what he says. we know of 22. zechariah? we don't know. they could be 49, they could
10:37 pm

10:38 pm
figure in the articles say say they think it may be as high as 34. the truth is nobody knows somebody might�*ve submitted a letter and not told us. our not actually done the deed. i suspect sir graham brady will be in peoples ears if that actually done it. we have to take people at their word, just as we take sir graham's word that he doesn't tell. on that, some justice, alecia kearns was a backbencher, they are added to the number. we will see how that trip trip continues or doesn't continue over the weekend. take us on to the front of the i. a set of great bullet points on the i. the first one is
10:39 pm
perhaps will cause most unease, this is a yugo of survey telling us what? it tells us that at the next election, based on current predictions the tories would lose all but three of their 88 key battlegrounds. this is absolutely dire. this would include the prime minister seat and he read wall constituencies. senior tories are saying to the prime minister that they really fare the lib dems and labor, especially in marginals. yes, as we said more mps submitting no letters and those two crimes by elections next month. it's really not looking good poll was for the prime minister at all, for the tories at all.— prime minister at all, for the tories at all. g . , ., . ~ tories at all. james, would he make it at? well, — tories at all. james, would he make it at? well, i— tories at all. james, would he make it at? well, | think _ tories at all. james, would he make it at? well, | think that's _ tories at all. james, would he make it at? well, i think that's not good l it at? well, i think that's not good if that— it at? well, i think that's not good if that modelling is correct. the by elections _ if that modelling is correct. the by elections don't go well for them i think— elections don't go well for them i think it _ elections don't go well for them i think it would suggest that people havent— think it would suggest that people haven't moved on from party gait as much _ haven't moved on from party gait as much is _ haven't moved on from party gait as much is there were calls in parliament from certain mps for

10:41 pm
detail is behind that. the guardian next, james. this is about the ministerial code. i was doing an interview earlier which i tigre, one of the, he was incandescent about this. downing street says we are not watering down the code these are changes that have been suggested to us by the existing committee. to which he would say yeah but you've got to take the whole package and this is the whole package and this is the whole package. the bottom line the guardian thinks the timing doesn't look great for the prime minister. ., , ., minister. you 'ust took the word strai . ht minister. you 'ust took the word straight out — minister. you just took the word straight out of _ minister. you just took the word straight out of my _ minister. you just took the word straight out of my mouth. - minister. you just took the word straight out of my mouth. the i minister. you just took the word - straight out of my mouth. the timing is really— straight out of my mouth. the timing is really interesting. the independent have done a similar front—page saying he's being accused of changing the rules to save his own skin — of changing the rules to save his own skin. as we know, we seen the news _ own skin. as we know, we seen the news today, — own skin. as we know, we seen the news today, ministers and since do change. we — news today, ministers and since do change, we no longer expect to resign— change, we no longer expect to resign if— change, we no longer expect to resign if we reach a ministerial code — resign if we reach a ministerial code -- — resign if we reach a ministerial code. —— breach. it's always been one of— code. —— breach. it's always been

10:44 pm
resigning as home secretary which he was found to have breached ministerial code. the prime minister said he didn't think it was a residing matter. here he said, my view of the ministerial code is people shouldn't have to automatically resign. this just codifies that calmer puts it in writing. codifies that calmer puts it in writina. , . ., , codifies that calmer puts it in writin.. , ., ., , writing. yes and initially matt hancock is — writing. yes and initially matt hancock is well, _ writing. yes and initially matt hancock is well, he _ writing. yes and initially matt hancock is well, he didn't - writing. yes and initially matt . hancock is well, he didn't expect them _ hancock is well, he didn't expect them to— hancock is well, he didn't expect them to resign but that matt hancock resigned _ them to resign but that matt hancock resigned himself. that huge front—page story was on the sun. that— front—page story was on the sun. that we — front—page story was on the sun. that we wiii— front—page story was on the sun. that we will never forget. boris johnson — that we will never forget. boris johnson notoriously has an expected his ministers to resign if they've been _ his ministers to resign if they've been deemed to have done something wrong _ been deemed to have done something wrong so. _ been deemed to have done something wrong. so, yeah, it's like you say, now— wrong. so, yeah, it's like you say, now it's _ wrong. so, yeah, it's like you say, now it's written down in black and white _ now it's written down in black and white. ., . . , ., white. one of the change we should mention is that _ white. one of the change we should mention is that lord _ white. one of the change we should mention is that lord guyton, - white. one of the change we should mention is that lord guyton, the i mention is that lord guyton, the prime minister is adviser on ethics will now have the power to launch investigations which the advisory has never had before. and that
10:45 pm
effectively will be a new thing. the prime minister could block it but he has to explain publicly why he's blocking it. the other note that the guardian makes is the prime minister has rewritten the ministerial code and honesty, transparency and accountability.— accountability. yes. you're laughing _ accountability. yes. you're laughing but— accountability. yes. you're laughing. but here's say? | accountability. yes. you're. laughing. but here's say? is accountability. yes. you're - laughing. but here's say? is remove those words. draw your own conclusions.— those words. draw your own conclusions. ~ . . ., ., conclusions. okay. according to the guardian. maybe _ conclusions. okay. according to the guardian. maybe he _ conclusions. okay. according to the guardian. maybe he doesn't - conclusions. okay. according to the guardian. maybe he doesn't know. conclusions. okay. according to the . guardian. maybe he doesn't know what the mean. guardian. maybe he doesn't know what they mean. james? _ guardian. maybe he doesn't know what they mean. james? what _ guardian. maybe he doesn't know what they mean. james? what can - guardian. maybe he doesn't know what they mean. james? what can i - guardian. maybe he doesn't know what they mean. james? what can i say? i. they mean. james? what can i say? i don't know- — they mean. james? what can i say? i don't know. let's _ they mean. james? what can i say? i don't know. let's move _ they mean. james? what can i say? i don't know. let's move on. _ don't know. let's move on. let's draw— don't know. let's move on. let's draw a _ don't know. let's move on. let's draw a veit— don't know. let's move on. let's drawa veil over don't know. let's move on. let's draw a veil over that move onto the times this— draw a veil over that move onto the times this is— draw a veil over that move onto the times. this is interesting. on the question— times. this is interesting. on the question of. _ times. this is interesting. on the question of, teachers should not pander— question of, teachers should not pander to— question of, teachers should not pander to trans pupils. it's a bit
