9:31 am
but one man from sheffield has tamed the conditions. this is matt fitzpatrick who takes aim here at first win at a major, in the form of his life. this is the course where fitzpatrick won amateur golf�*s biggest prize. now, nine years on, he holds thejoint lead on the last day at one of the great senior titles. rory mcilroy has gone eight years without winning one and he's due some luck. in round three, he fell back but then recoveed, still in touch, just three
9:32 am
and all tests of brookline mean on the last day, that could all change. joe lynskey, bbc news so a great chance for matt fitzpatrick to win his first major. here he is after that round of 68. obviously winning the us open here helps, butjust feels a bit more like a home game this week. and that's why it's, you know, that's why it feels different and for the better. it's been great to have the support this week and any moments that i've had of success around here during this week, it's been celebrated pretty loud. leicester tigers are premiership rugby champions saracens. replacement fly—half freddie burns slotted the winning drop goal with just moments of the final remaining to seal a record iith title for the club. it caps a remarkable return to winning ways,
9:33 am
coming just two seasons after they finished a lowly 11th in the table. red bull's max verstappen will start on pole for the canadian grand prix after a rain—affected qualifying session in montreal championship leader verstappen topped the time sheets in every qualifying session and will start on the front row alongside another veteran fernando alonso. ferrari's carlos sainz will start third while after all the struggles — there was a surprise fourth place my battery was a little bit low and tyres were hot, and so i didn't get to go quicker at the end. but i'm still grateful for that position. that's the best this year and it's a bit overwhelming. at the end afterwards, i was like, oh, my god, this is a step forward for me. with wimbledon just around the corner, last year's runner—up there, matteo berrettini, may be one to watch — as he moved a step closer to defending his title at queen's. only recently back from injury — he's into the final after beating the dutchman botic van de zandschulp in straight sets. berrettini will face a surprise opponent in the final — serbia's filip krajinovic. the world number 48 beat the seventh seed marin cilic —
9:34 am
also in straight sets. shelly—ann fraser—pryce matched her season best time to win the 100m at the diamond league meet in paris last night. jamaica's two—time olympic champion powered to victory in 10.67 seconds. britain's daryll neita finished second after clocking a season's best 10.99. britain's cindy sember came third in the women's 100m hurdles. that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, here's joanna with the papers. hello and welcome to our look at what the papers are saying today. with me are author and journalist rachel shabi, and political commentator jo phillips. the sunday telegraph leads on the story that the business secretary kwasi kwarteng has accused trade unions of bribing workers to go on strike, after allegedly doubling daily
9:35 am
payments to those who took part in inudstrial action. on the observer's front page, the paper reports on warnings that fresh strikes may be on the cards as unions representing teachers and nhs workers threaten industrial action over pay. "i'm finally free to be me" — the sunday mirror has a story for lgbt pride month as olympic legend dame kelly holmes comes out as gay after 3a years. the independent reports of a looming double by—election defeat this weekend, ahead of the elections in constituencies tiverton and honiton and wakefield. �*steel yourselves for a long war�* — the sunday times leads on the war in ukraine, with the prime minister urging allied to hold nerve and continue providing ukraine with aid. and the mail on sunday claims sir keir starmer has been accused
9:36 am
of hypocrisy after leaked documents allegedly reveal he privately supported strike action by rail workers. so let's begin. rachel, that warning of notjust the real strikes we have seen coming up this week with more than prospect. fix, this week with more than prospect. a wave of 19705 style this week with more than prospect. a wave of 19705 5tyle economic unre5t wave of 1970s style economic unrest is threatening to spread from there was across public services as unions representing teachers and nhs workers won a potential industrial action over pay. it is workers won a potential industrial action over pay-— action over pay. it is clear the observer _ action over pay. it is clear the observer reports _ action over pay. it is clear the observer reports that - action over pay. it is clear the observer reports that both i action over pay. it is clear the | observer reports that both the action over pay. it is clear the - observer reports that both the nhs and the largest teaching union looking and balloting in the coming weeks and both have peer reviews coming up, nhs workers this week. the government is looking at public sector pay increases of around 2% to 4%. the rate of inflation is
9:37 am
sector pay increases of around 2% to 11%. the rate of inflation is 11% so, effectively, workers are trying to stop a pay cut in real terms, and thatis stop a pay cut in real terms, and that is on top of having to deal with a wage, pay freeze for the last ten years because of austerity so this is entirely predictable and the reason it is happening is because the government has completely absolved itself of responsibility, a social contract with the public. people in work cannot afford to make ends meet and are getting to the end of the month and worrying. children are self harming because the anxiety is being passed on to them. that is so much more that the government can do instead ofjust saying sorry, we're just going to have to take hit and actually feed into this complete fallacy that wages are spiralling, inflation is spiralling because of wages. the reality is inflation spiralling because of price gouging
9:38 am
and profiteering from corporations and profiteering from corporations and we need to make that clear. the osition of and we need to make that clear. the position of the government is they have said do not seek pay rises because it will continue to see inflation go up. it will be a situation across the piece. signed mike that is in a ridiculous thing for the government to say, don't seek pay rises so nurses and teachers will have to go to food banks to survive. for all that nonsensical clapping heroes during the pandemic, the government seems to have forgotten how much all of these people, whether they be refuse collectors are council workers or teachers or nurses are railway staff are bus drivers signed my car and lorry drivers, they cap to sell the length and people can just say that's all right, i will go without a pay rise. —— people cannotjust

9:41 am
when exactly as jo says, needed. the cost of living crisis, when exactly asjo says, people in work are having to use food banks and skip meals, this is people and what can of course unions will represent them as best they see fit. i want to draw your attention to a unite report that came out last week making very clear that the cost of living crisis and inflation is not being caused by workers essentially asking for a pay increase that would mean that in real terms their wages are not going backwards, the crisis, the inflation is happening because companies, corporations are price gauging and making record profits. we have had two years in which multinational companies have been using the crisis to make record profits. it is only right that the
9:42 am
cost of living crisis should be paid for out of these giant profits and not from the pockets of ordinary working people already struggling going slightly backwards and in a state of anxiety. leta: going slightly backwards and in a state of anxiety.— going slightly backwards and in a state of anxiety. lets move on to the sunday _ state of anxiety. lets move on to the sunday times. _ state of anxiety. lets move on to the sunday times. still— state of anxiety. lets move on to the sunday times. still yourself i state of anxiety. lets move on to l the sunday times. still yourself for a long war, the prime minister one in the west. the prime minister has had his second visit to kyiv and it looks like this war could go on for some time. looks like this war could go on for some time-— looks like this war could go on for some time. , ., ~ some time. yes, and i think whether this is izroris — some time. yes, and i think whether this is boris johnson _ some time. yes, and i think whether this is boris johnson grandstanding l this is borisjohnson grandstanding and using _ this is borisjohnson grandstanding and using a photo opportunity because — and using a photo opportunity because it gets better welcome than he would _ because it gets better welcome than he would have done in wakefield, you put that— he would have done in wakefield, you put that to _ he would have done in wakefield, you put that to one side and says is probably— put that to one side and says is probably too and this will not be over anytime soon and i think there is a danger— over anytime soon and i think there is a danger because of the things we have been_ is a danger because of the things we have been talking about, the cost of

9:46 am
but also what impact a long war would help in russia. it is very hard for us to establish that because people are not really free to speak openly about opposition to the war in russia but it is going on for a while, there are sanctions, there are many people being killed and being sent out to ukraine and you do wonderjust internally how long vladimir putin can sustain such a war. �* , ., ~' long vladimir putin can sustain such awar. h ., ~ ., long vladimir putin can sustain such awar. h ., , a war. let's talk about dame kelly holmes, front _ a war. let's talk about dame kelly holmes, front page _ a war. let's talk about dame kelly holmes, front page of— a war. let's talk about dame kelly holmes, front page of the - a war. let's talk about dame kelly holmes, front page of the sunday| holmes, front page of the sunday mirror, i am finally free to be me. it is really moving to read and upsetting about the terror she has had insiderfor a very upsetting about the terror she has had insider for a very long upsetting about the terror she has had insiderfor a very long time because she feared she would be noted, judged orjailed because she had gay relationships when she was in the army and she strongly believed, even when she left the army, that if anybody knew that would be the case she could be jailed for it. on the inside pages,

this morning. hello, there. for those of you up and off early enough this morning to catch the sunrise, you were in for quite a treat with some orange—looking skies first thing. that's because there was a little bit of saharan dust in the atmosphere, really producing these beautiful tones. however, a northwesterly wind will put paid to that — a rather breezy day in store today, this area of low pressure enhancing some showers in the north—west and these weather fronts just a little bit of a nuisance flirting with the channel coast and producing the risk of some showers as we go through the day as well. but there's also some sunshine, particularly sandwiched in—between the two. that northwesterly wind will continue to drive more cloud further south throughout the day. we run the risk of a few scattered showers to the south and continuing showers into the far northwest. but generally speaking, despite that brisk breeze, it'll be pleasant enough, but the wind direction will make it feel cooler.
9:56 am
on north and west—facing coasts, 14 to 17 degrees, we may well see temperatures peaking into the low 20s in one or two areas in the south—east. the risk of showers continues for the early half of the evening and overnight, particularly into the south—west, accompanied by gusts of winds close to 40 miles an hour at times. clearer skies further north, so temperatures will fall into single figures, so it'll be a fresh start once again to monday morning, a much more comfortable start, a night for getting a good night's sleep. but first thing on monday will be a dry, settled, quiet start, a lot of sunshine is likely to come through. this weather front, however, in the far north—west will gradually introduce more in the way of cloud and some nuisance light rain as the day continues. but it will be a dry start, a sunny start for many, and we keep that sunshine throughout the day. some light, patchy rain to the northwest of the great glen, clouding over to the north of northern ireland, but in the sunshine those temperatures are likely to respond and we could see values peaking at around 22 or 23 celsius in one or two spots in the southeast in particular.
9:57 am
now, as we move out of monday into the middle part of the week, it looks likely that these weather fronts will start to ease away. a ridge of high pressure builds for a time before, as we approach the weekend, we'll start to see lows developing in from the atlantic. basically, that translates to more sunshine through the middle part of the week, more warmth returning across wales, central and southern england, before we see some showers developing for the start of the weekend. that's it, take care.
