hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are aletha adu, who is political correspondent at the daily mirror, and john stevens, deputy political editor at the daily mail. ican i can confidently say that we have all the front pages and now. one story dominates most of the front pages of the morning papers, and it's the thanksgiving service for the queen in st paul's cathedral. the telegraph highlights how she's "stayed the course", a horse racing metaphor she'd probably approve of. the express picks up on the thanksgiving theme, but points out that her majesty wasn't there herself because of her mobility problems. the times says her absence

was keenly felt, but the archbishop of york made a point of saying that the queen was "still in the saddle". the daily mail focuses on the split between the royal princes, william and harry, on its front page. the brothers appear on the front page with their wives but the headline is so far apart. there's a very similiar take on family division in the daily mirror. and finally, the i newspaper breaks with the consensus. it carries a warning from borisjohnson to conservative mps that if they ditch him, they will lose the general election. so, let's begin. john can kick off with the times and that very striking photograph of meghan and harry and slightly odd with one of those and the headline

still in the saddle. one of those front pages not immediate lee clear if you saw it on the new stand who is still in the saddle and what is the reference here. the is still in the saddle and what is the reference here. the reference is to the archbishop of _ the reference here. the reference is to the archbishop of york's - the reference here. the reference is to the archbishop of york's sermon | to the archbishop of york's sermon in which he makes a number of horse racing references. we know how much the queen enjoys horse racing. he said she had stayed the course and everyone was sad that she was not able to be there at the service but she was still in the saddle and she still had a lot more to offer this country. many also made the comparison that her long rain had been more like a long race at aintree rather than the sprints at epsom. i think the queen will obviously have been said that she missed the church service. we know how important her personal faith is to her. but it was a great opportunity for the nation to be able to come together and thank her for her rain and ijust think that's the really nice thing about this weekend of events. especially after the coronavirus pandemic where we

have not had these big national occasions the last couple of years that finally people are able to do more things like that. look back to the start of the coronavirus lock down, the queen did that address and she talked about we will have great times again and we will see our friends and family again and we will meet again and this weekend seems the occasion when many people are getting to do that. what the occasion when many people are getting to do that.— getting to do that. what do you think of that front _ getting to do that. what do you think of that front page? - getting to do that. what do you think of that front page? i - getting to do that. what do you j think of that front page? i think you are muted.— think of that front page? i think i you are muted._ don't you are muted. hello, hello. don't wor , you are muted. hello, hello. don't worry. we — you are muted. hello, hello. don't worry. we all— you are muted. hello, hello. don't worry. we all do — you are muted. hello, hello. don't worry, we all do that. _ you are muted. hello, hello. don't worry, we all do that. quite - worry, we all do that. quite interesting _ worry, we all do that. quite interesting the _ worry, we all do that. quite interesting the times - worry, we all do that. quite interesting the times use i worry, we all do that. quite interesting the times use a | worry, we all do that. quite - interesting the times use a photo of harry— interesting the times use a photo of harry and _ interesting the times use a photo of harry and meghan to illustrate the quote _ harry and meghan to illustrate the quote you — harry and meghan to illustrate the quote you are still in the saddle as one might — quote you are still in the saddle as one might think obviously a chance for harry— one might think obviously a chance for harry and meghan to be returning back our— for harry and meghan to be returning back our centrestage when in actual fact it _ back our centrestage when in actual fact it was _ back our centrestage when in actual fact it was the complete opposite. they took— fact it was the complete opposite. they took a back—seat at st. paul's

st. paul's cathedral, all of those steps and it was queen victoria's diamond jubilee service and st. paul's cathedral, she was not able to attend it. she actually rode through london in her carriage and then her carriage parked outside st. paul's cathedral but she was not actually able to get into the cathedral because of mobility issues herself. but i think it has provided an opportunity for other members of the royalfamily to an opportunity for other members of the royal family to come forward a bit more. we have obviously had prince charles sit in for the queen at the state opening of parliament the other week. and we are seeing this transition now with the queen stepping back, doing slowly fewer events and engagements and members of the royalfamily like prince charles stepping forward with them i think that is a deliberate thing. the queen obviously wants people to welcome prince charles asking when he becomes king and she has obviously made clear her intention

that she thinks that camilla should become queen. i that she thinks that camilla should become queen.— become queen. i wonder if we have sort of seen — become queen. i wonder if we have sort of seen now— become queen. i wonder if we have sort of seen now the _ become queen. i wonder if we have sort of seen now the most active i sort of seen now the most active period we are going to see of the queen for the rest of her rain. i wonder if she is going to be more of an absence than a presence at a lot of events. she had that flurry since last year of events like opening a scottish parliament in the rest of it where she was very visible but she was taking the next two generations along with her each time. i thought she does not need to do that now and charles has done the state opening parliament once already so it feels like there are fewer and fewer events we will automatically see the queen. and that could lighten her load to differently. left about the next generation, the brothers and everyone fascinated by the brothers and we will take the two front pages together. daily mail and delete mirror. so farapart together. daily mail and delete mirror. so far apart says daily mail and together yet apart says daily mirror. i and together yet apart says daily mirror. . mirror. i find it interesting because — mirror. i find it interesting because i—

diana's peter when they walked behind the coffin together through the streets of london i think that's what people would've felt quite sad that in the last few months in late last years they seem to have drifted apart and there had been reports that they have been talking on the phone quite regularly. i think you can understand why they are in different parts of the church. that could be deliberate, they did not want to be like a soap opera with everyone looking at them. how are they getting on a different religious ships? and i do think it's a bit strange that both harry and meghan did not choose to go to the lunch that took place after the service in st. paul's cathedral and lots of politicians and members of the royal family went to the guildhall. but we do hear that they have been patching things up behind the scenes as was reported in the daily mail tomorrow that the queen has finally met harry and meghan daughter who was named after the

queen's nickname little bit and has been named after her. and i think that's quite nice if they had their paternity while they have an over from america's been a bit of time with herfamily and hopefully patching things up a little. i with her family and hopefully patching things up a little. i don't think anyone _ patching things up a little. i don't think anyone would _ patching things up a little. i don't think anyone would want - patching things up a little. i don't| think anyone would want anything other than that for any family. johnson tell stories about me you lose and this is the front page of the i with a lovely photograph of a three part of it we will leave that as we have done our rule section four tonight. there is another rule reference as it says royal fans outside st. paul's booed boris and carriejohnson and there were a few cheers but they were sort of outweighed by the noise of the boos as they arrived for the platinum jubilee service and i think this what they officially call a mixed reception. what they officially call a mixed rece tion. ., , , what they officially call a mixed recetion. ., , , ., reception. the timing of this is not reat reception. the timing of this is not treat for reception. the timing of this is not great for the _ reception. the timing of this is not great for the prime _ reception. the timing of this is not great for the prime minister. - reception. the timing of this is not great for the prime minister. we i great for the prime minister. we know that he is coming into a key week when mps are being on their recess break in this week they are backin recess break in this week they are back in parliament on monday. there have been some suggestions that

borisjohnson could possibly have been some suggestions that boris johnson could possibly face have been some suggestions that borisjohnson could possibly face a confidence vote amongst tory mps when they decide if they want to continue as tory leader. and one of the arguments that his supporters have been making is that they think he is still an election winning asset and that the argument that has been made on the front page of the i here. they are suggesting that those red wall seats, those labour heartland seats until recent one for the 1st of may 2019 and were a big factor in them getting such a big majority, that those would be at risk if they get rid of boris johnson but i think it's much harder to make that argument when you have things like him being booed in public. borisjohnson if you ever interviewed him face—to—face is one of the people who is always looking around when he is talking. he is always seeing what is the response, and map making people laugh, he is very much an entertainer. he is very much someone who seems to be interested in what people are

looking at and how that responding to what i'm saying and i think the underneath it all, that will have probably hurt to have walked all the way up the steps we will be doing and that he must start to question how is been going on with leadership. how is been going on with leadership-— how is been going on with leadership. how is been going on with leadershi -. .., ., , .,, how is been going on with leadershi. ., , ., leadership. one could only hope that he is having — leadership. one could only hope that he is having these _ leadership. one could only hope that he is having these thoughts - leadership. one could only hope that he is having these thoughts in - leadership. one could only hope that he is having these thoughts in his - he is having these thoughts in his head _ he is having these thoughts in his head but— he is having these thoughts in his head but it — he is having these thoughts in his head but it was only earlier this week— head but it was only earlier this week that he was telling the mum of dustin— week that he was telling the mum of dustin robbins despite the reports and suggesting that he needed to take responsibility for the failure of leadership, allowing all of those lockdown _ of leadership, allowing all of those lockdown party should take place but he suggested that he will be irresponsible for him to quit at this time _ irresponsible for him to quit at this time. and despite essentially being _ this time. and despite essentially being a _ this time. and despite essentially being a moral vacuum, this time. and despite essentially being a moralvacuum, some this time. and despite essentially being a moral vacuum, some really senior— being a moral vacuum, some really senior people within the conservative party and people like andrea _ conservative party and people like andrea lead some and people like the former— andrea lead some and people like the former attorney generaljeremy former attorney general jeremy white — former attorney general jeremy white, all the

the papers will be back again tomorrow evening withjo phillips, who is a political commentator, and nigel nelson, political editor at the sunday mirror and sunday people. the double act one of my favourites. they get their moneys worth out of nigel. next it's time for sport, but for now, goodnight. hello there, i'm olly foster with the latest from the bbc sport centre. england's cricketers trail new zealand by 227 runs heading into the third day of the first test at lord's. 24 wickets have fallen so far in the match, but an unbeaten partnership of 180 runs between daryl mitchell and tom blundell has put the tourists on top. here's our sports correspondentjoe wilson. at lord's, they don't wait for the end of the match to start the champagne. corks collect steadily, daily.

but to push for victory, england had to do it this way, taking quick early wickets in new zealand's second innings. afterjames anderson, matthew potts continued his impressive start to international cricket. that's the new zealand captain he dismissed again. here's a faint brush on tom latham's bat, and that, yep, was new zealand 35—3. and another... devon conway hit that. 56-4. the match at that stage still frenetic. surely someone would hang around out there, some batter had to make runs. i mean, logic suggested it. the very traditions of test cricket almost demanded it. here's how new zealand did it and how the match changed. daryl mitchell always looked to attack, within reason. tom blundell batted with increasing assurance. being world test champions brings a certain certainty. the partnership between these two

is strong and still building, and with every minute they're at the crease, the match moves definitely one way, towards new zealand. matt parkinson bowled his leg spin, having arrived via motorways as england's concussion replacement. nojoy for him. new zealand four wickets down, 227 ahead, and england's new captain with some familiar england problems. joe wilson, bbc news, at lord's. the men's french open final will be between rafael nadal and casper ruud. nadal, a 13—time champion at roland garros, was facing alexander zverev in what had been a gripping semifinal, but the german suffered a serious ankle injury in the second set and had to retire, handing nadal a place in sunday's final. dan ogunshakin reports. alex zverev had only ever once beaten rafa nadal on clay, but he started the semifinal like a man determined to improve on that record. after a break of nadal�*s serve

in the opening game, the german looked in a good position to take the first set until this key moment. oh, wow! well, you saw what happened there! he's not wearing a sweat band, and the racket slipped in his hand. a tie—break ensued where zverev raced into a 6—2 lead, yet nadal showed his powers of recovery to take the opener in 91 minutes. nailed it. the noise ricocheting around the court! the second was equally epic. after a marathon 92 minutes, including eight breaks of serve in 11 games, nadal forced a second tie—break, but zverev badly rolled his ankle. oh, no! a 14th roland—garros final for the spaniard, but not in the manner he;d have chosen. as everybody knows, being in the final at one more time is a dream without a doubt. applause. but at the same time, to finish that way, i have been there in the small room with sasha

before, we came back on court, and to see him crying there is a very tough moment. so, yeah, just all the best to him. dan ogunshakin, bbc news. so, nadal is through to play in a 30th grand slam final at the age of 36. 23—year—old casper ruud will become the first norwegian to play in a major singles final. his semifinal was interrupted for about 15 minutes when a climate change protester tied themselves to the net on court phillipe chatrier. the players returned to the locker room until they were removed. ruud, who is ranked eighth in the world, came from a set down to beat the 2014 us open champion marin cilic in four sets. ruud actually came through the rafa nadal academy, and he says he has dreamt about facing the spaniard. european football's governing body, uefa, has apologised to the fans who "experienced or witnessed frightening and distressing events" in the build—up to last saturday's champions league final.

the year for wales and for scotland. not elsewhere in the uk. in fact, over the next couple of days, we'll see increasing amounts of cloud and the possibility of downpours and thunderstorms. and we've been advertising this for days, thisjubilee bank holiday weekend will be a very mixed one for some of us. and the shower clouds keep on drifting in from the south. so, through the early hours of the morning, i think it's south—western portions of the uk, but all along the south coast, there is a chance of downpours, perhaps thunder and lightning. some of these downpours could drift a little bit further north into the midlands, but many areas — from, say, merseyside northwards — looking dry and clear. and actually quite chilly underneath the high pressure in scotland. could be only around five degrees first thing in the morning. so, the big picture shows that high pressure across the northern half of the uk, so lots of fine, windless, sunny weather, particularly western scotland. beautiful in northern ireland, but here in wales, the midlands,

the south west and also some of these other southern counties at risk of catching some showers both in the morning and the afternoon. doesn't look like it's going to be a total wash—out, but if you do catch a downpour and it's slow—moving, it could last for a while before the sunny spells return. notice also how cool it is on that north sea coast. a breeze dragging in low, grey skies, so a nip in the air. now, saturday night into sunday, this is when we'll start to see storms drifting in from the south. they could be widespread. they could be heavy. now, the thinking is that in the morning, they'll be in the south. come lunchtime, possibly drifting into east anglia, the midlands and wales. and then probably stalling just before northern england through the course of the afternoon, but even where it clears up in the south, there's a chance of some showers. all the while, northern ireland, scotland looking absolutely fine on sunday with lots of sunshine. and then next week, the weather is going to turn quite unsettled. we'll see weather systems sweeping in off the atlantic.

this big low pressure parks itself very close to us, so we'll see bands of rain sweeping our way. and this is the outlook for next week. you can see lots of weather icons here, changeable weather. temperatures stabilising, though. 20 in the south, high teens in the north.
