this is bbc news, the headlines... there's fierce fighting in the battle for sevedonetsk, with ukraine's grip on the strategic eastern city appearing to weaken. capturing the city would be a major victory for russian forces in the eastern donbas region. the second congressional hearing into the january 6th attack on the us capitol has heard that donald trump ignored his own advisers in making his false claim that the presidential election had been stolen. the european union has said it is considering legal action over the uk's plans to unilaterally change the post—brexit arrangements for northern ireland. the british government says its plan would not be in breach of international law. uk judges have refused to grant an injunction to stop tuesday's deportation flight taking asylum seekers from britain to rwanda.

the head of the un refugee agency has said the policy will set a "catastrophic precedent". hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sonia sodha, the chief leader writer at the observer, and olivia utley, the assistant comment editor for the daily telegraph. tomorrow's front pages, let's get stuck in. the metro reports on the first flight taking asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda. it's due to take place on tuesday, after another legal challenge to the government's policy was rejected. the daily mail though says reports that only a handful of people may actually be on the flight make it a "farce".

meanwhile, leaders of the church of england have condemned the plans. the i covers a letter signed by all 25 bishops who sit in the house of lords saying the policy "shames britain". the guardian leads with reports that the eu is ready to launch legal action, after uk ministers published new legislation which would scrap parts of the northern ireland protocol. the times headline focuses on comments from the vice president of the european commission, highlighting risks to eu businesses and health and safety from what he called a "violation of the protocol". and the mirror claims prince william threatened to pull out of the garter day procession at windsor, if prince andrew was allowed to take part, saying he made an ultimatum to the queen. let's get stuck in and start with a look at the daily mail newspaper, which leads with the right, her flight to rwanda. to their credit,

says the daily mail, what a farce, only a handful still on the list. the estimate has between 8—10 on the plane at the moment. do take us through the story. we plane at the moment. do take us through the story.— through the story. we knew the government's — through the story. we knew the government's planned - through the story. we knew the government's planned to - through the story. we knew the | government's planned to deport illegal immigrants to rwanda was going to hit a stumbling block very early on, and it has sure enough. the daily mail calls them left—wing lawyers and activist groups, but lawyers and activist groups, but lawyers have been working on behalf of the potential deportees, putting their cases to court and i have in some cases won or lost. but basically it means only a small number of the refugees who were supposed to be going to rwanda tomorrow will now go to rwanda — and that raises questions about the value for money, etc of policy. i think the government would say that the point of the policy wasn't to

get the maximum number of refugees over to rwanda, but to deter people from making that very dangerous crossing in small boats from france to britain — and taken by that metric, you could say it's already doing some good, even if only having seven people on the flight saves 200, even if it doesn't sound very sensible. it is also possible that the activist groups and lawyers want to make an example of the government by taking on as many of these cases as they can, but if they keep getting shut down by the courts as they have been here, they will lose interest eventually and the policy could find a way to break through. but things aren't going swimmingly for the government as far as this policy was concerned, which was always going to happen, because trying to break through this impasse that we've reached with the channel crisis was going to be a challenge. let's bring in the i newspaper, which looks at what the bishops of the church of england have been

doing. "church versus borisjohnson: bishops tell p.m. rwanda flight shames uk." a letter that's been led by the archbishop of canterbury but includes all the names of the bishops in the house of lords, take us through this. i bishops in the house of lords, take us through this.— us through this. i think it's highly unusual for— us through this. i think it's highly unusual for all— us through this. i think it's highly unusual for all the _ us through this. i think it's highly unusual for all the bishops - us through this. i think it's highlyj unusual for all the bishops sitting in the _ unusual for all the bishops sitting in the house of lords, plus prince charles_ in the house of lords, plus prince charles to — in the house of lords, plus prince charles to call out a government policx _ charles to call out a government policy. and i think it's symbolic of just how— policy. and i think it's symbolic of just how terrible and inhumane a policy— just how terrible and inhumane a policy this— just how terrible and inhumane a policy this is. many legal experts feel this — policy this is. many legal experts feel this contravenes in human rights — feel this contravenes in human rights and _ feel this contravenes in human rights and britain's international obligations under the refugee convention. the reason for that is these _ convention. the reason for that is these are — convention. the reason for that is these are people fleeing were conflict — these are people fleeing were conflict and torture, and under our international obligations it doesn't matter— international obligations it doesn't matter how you arrive in the country. _ matter how you arrive in the country, whether you find your own way and _ country, whether you find your own way and claim asylum or you come through— way and claim asylum or you come through a — way and claim asylum or you come through a resettlement root — under international law, asylum—seekers

leaders who have been unable to do anything. marks & spencers is finding it difficult to trade in northern ireland, and normal irish farmers can't operate under the terms of the protocol. unionists in northern ireland feel the principle of consent which underpins the good friday agreement, which means everyone, whatever their politics, gets a say on how northern ireland is run — that's not being followed any more because the protocol is dictating how northern ireland is run. so the protocol clearly isn't working. the government is trying to do something about it. as far as i and the telegraph readers are concerned, this used to be a sensible way forward. this won't have a huge effect on the eu, that you can moan that it's cons of running but the treaty, which shouldn't have been drawn up in the first place, won't have a huge effect. the rules were unilaterally

revoked for a while last year while we were going through covid and nothing particularly happened. as a very small amount of trade we are talking about crossing that bordered. —— crossing that border. this feels like this�*ll be the way forward. we need to break the protocol can't gone operating the way it is, it's not working for northern ireland or the uk. the eu will put up a fight and roll on through the courts, so it'll take a long time. the government probably will have to compromise a bit in the end, but this seems like a good starting place to break through this impasse that we've clearly reached. and it's horrible to see that it brings it will start again, but it's clear something needs to be done and this seems like a genuine effort on behalf of the government to try and break that. �* , ., ., ~' behalf of the government to try and break that. �* , ., ., ,, . break that. let's look at the guardian. — break that. let's look at the guardian, which _ break that. let's look at the guardian, which seems - break that. let's look at the guardian, which seems to i break that. let's look at the i guardian, which seems to have break that. let's look at the - guardian, which seems to have an almost identical headline to the times on this, which is not always the case for these two newspapers.

to give a bit there and take some here. what they aren't talking about is growth, about how to help businesses to get businesses bigger and bring more money into the country which can then be divided into different ways. all they are interested in is the tax burden and what the government is spending. i think that is quite a worry, and as we are heading for this very bleak economic period, it would be nice to hearfrom a few economic period, it would be nice to hear from a few more economically conservative politicians, which i'm not sure if the prime minister falls into that category any more, who have some ideas about helping businesses to get bigger, rather thanjust businesses to get bigger, rather than just permanently talking about the tax burden and who it falls on. i don't think these squabbles between the chancellor and the prime minister helped particularly either. you have a chancellor who is worried about balancing the books but also doesn't have an idea for growth, and

then a prime minister who isjust cleaned to put his arm around the country, as is always being sad. but he doesn't seem to have an idea about how to make the economy any bigger. so i don't think it's a particularly great situation that we've reached, and i don't think these conversations between conservative politicians are particularly edifying. there is one mention of growth there which i think is the only positive step forward. but we are heading for pretty bleak economic times and i don't think that's what we need to be seeing. don't think that's what we need to be seeina. ,,, . ,, don't think that's what we need to be seeina. .. . ,, ., , . be seeing. speaking of difficult conversations, _ be seeing. speaking of difficult conversations, the _ be seeing. speaking of difficult conversations, the daily - be seeing. speaking of difficult. conversations, the daily express be seeing. speaking of difficult - conversations, the daily express and the next story, "andrew's rift with royal stevens over his birthright." this comes up because he is meant to be in the procession, his name was on it then he wasn't in the procession. talk us through the story, please. it procession. talk us through the story. please-— story, please. it sounds like there's been _ story, please. it sounds like there's been a _ story, please. it sounds like there's been a lot _ story, please. it sounds like there's been a lot of - story, please. it sounds like - there's been a lot of discussions behind the scenes about the role that prince andrew will play moving forwards, in the wake of these

think you both so much. that's it for the papers this hour. the papers will be back again tomorrow evening with the times radio presenter calum macdonald, and kate maltby, who's a columnist for the i newspaper. dojoin us then if you can, but for now, goodnight. hello, i'm marc edwards with your sport. we start with cricket — where england have given themselves the sniff of a chance of victory in the second test, thanks to some late wickets on the fourth day at trent bridge. joe root had earlier hit 176 as england, like the the new zealanders, made over 500 in theirfirst innings as the contest stretches tantalisingly into the fifth day. patrick geary rounds up the action for us. joe root runs — words that are neverfar away from each other at the moment, especially on this, a pitch as flat as a stage... unbelievable!

..where everything you touch, flies. if you can hit them there, you can hit them anywhere. easy to be careless. root out — out of nowhere. he'd scored 176 — that only made him want more. with him went england's momentum, now new zealand were flying. daryl mitchell somehow caught stuart broad. matthew potts looking for his first test run, said yes, then wait — too late. ben foakes and 56 had come too far, england had lost direction. all out, still 14 runs behind, with the ball they needed to get things moving. he's knocked him over! that's jimmy anderson's genius, his 650th test wicket. this would, though, be about patience for england — waiting for new zealand mistakes. that was devon conway's, gone for 52. henry nicholls followed. doubts crept under black caps. even will young, so confident in scoring 56 runs, dithered over the 57th. he was out, england were in. now the problems —

tom blundell and daryl mitchell made big partnerships both in this test and the last. they threatened another, but england had an idea — bowl short, and see if blundell blunders. the plan came together. new zealand are more than 200 runs ahead, but england keep taking wickets. a match that might have drifted heads for a final twist. game on. patrick geary, bbc news. it's pretty finally balanced. i think obviously when you set such a big total, you're not really thinking about what's going on in the game, you're just making sure you get up somewhere near there. and we managed to do that, and quite a lot has happened in the afternoon session, so it's left everyone in with a chance. football now — and australia have qualified for the fifa world cup for a fifth edition in a row. they beat peru in a penalty shoot—out to seal their spot at the showpiece event in qatar. in a game of very few chances with no goals, australia rolled the dice at the death, substituting their captain, matt ryan, for penalty specialist andrew

redmayne. and the gamble paid off — the sydney shotstopper sending his socceroos side through in dramatic fashion after 120 minutes of stalemate. so australia heading to qatar, where they will be in group d alongside holders france, denmark, and tunisia. to football and the nations league — tomorrow, wales travel to the netherlands while scotland face armenia. england, meanwhile, take on hungary, having lost the reverse fixture in budapest. it's been a bit of poor summer so farfor england — still without a win in the competition, and they've only scored once in three matches. but manager gareth southgate isn't questioning the commitment of his players after a long season. every team in the group and lots of other teams around europe have found it difficult against hungary, they're a good side. so there's a lot for us to take from the game, and it's very important that our approach — i have to say, this group of players have been incredible. you know, their mentality, their desire to play for england,

to work every day to get better. we're very fortunate to have a group as committed as they are. derby county's search for a new owner continues after chris kirchner, who looked close to buying the club, withdrew his offer. bbc sport understands the american businessman took the decision due to difficulty in transfering his funds to the uk. derby were relegated from the championship last season after a 21—point deduction forfinancial problems, and have been up for sale since october 2020. the club's administrators say they're already talking to other parties to find an alternative buyer. erling haaland says he is in the right place to fulfil his ambitions after completing his move to manchester city on a five—year contract for £51.2 million. atjust 21 years old, the norwegian striker has a spectacular goal—scoring record. in his two—and—a—half years with borussia dortmund, he's scored 86 goals in 89 games and last year, he became the youngest player to reach 20 champions league goals.

now, with wimbledon starting in just two weeks, worrying news for andy murray, who has withdrawn from queen's — he picked up an abdominal strain in the stuttgart final on sunday. the two—time wimbledon champion does hope to be fit in time, though, so fingers crossed with that one. staying at queens, and there was a big win for britain's jack draper — he saw off the american fourth seed taylor fritz in straight sets, 6—3, 6—2. fritz is ranked 14 in the world, so it's a fabulous victory for the 20—year—old. draper's first win over a top 20 player in his burdegoning career. not so good for british number one cam norrie, though — he was beaten by former world number three grigor dmitrov in three sets. norrie, who reached the final of queens last year, took the first set via a tie break, but dmitrov responded to win 6—7, 6—1, 6—4. liam brody is out, too — beaten by marin cillic. another british hope at wimbledon is harriet dart —

by the time we get to friday when that heat is likely to peak. and that means that temperatures in london and in birmingham could get over 30 celsius on friday. but further north and west across much of northern ireland and scotland, they'll stick in the low 20s in celsius. at the moment, we do still have this area of low pressure giving us swathes of cloud, some outbreaks of rain — most of it quite light and patchy — across much of western scotland, northern ireland. this will help to keep the temperatures mild here overnight tonight, but underneath the clear skies, temperatures will drop back into single figures, mid—single figures locally, perhaps, across england and wales. so a locally chilly start to the day here. but here, of course, we'll see lots of sunshine throughout the day on tuesday, some fair weather cloud building through the afternoon. further north and west with still all of this cloud around, some outbreaks of rain for western areas of scotland. eastern areas of scotland, though, should see some sunny spells emerge at times. temperatures peaking in the southeast of england at around 25 celsius. the pollen levels, of course, in all of that sunshine will be very high — a lot lower underneath the cloud

and the rain towards the northwest. and that's where the cloud and the outbreaks of rain will tend to stay as we head through tuesday night. we'll start to see some warmer nights as we head through the rest of the week. temperatures across the board into wednesday morning should stay in double figures for the most part. still got some outbreaks of rain up towards the northern isles as we head through the day on wednesday, lots of cloud here. again, cloudiertowards the northwest across england and wales, temperatures will start to rise into the high 20s in celsius — so 26—27 celsius, much of london cooler the further north you go. and let's take a look at what happens for the rest of the week — so our high pressure just gradually moves eastwards, and the cold front will sink southwards, introducing that cooler—feeling air. but if we take a look at the temperatures, you can see that across northern ireland, 19—20 celsius — whereas across cambridge, 31 celsius by friday.
