the prime minister was warned twice about chris pincher�*s behaviour. the sunday times says the charity watchdog is investigating reports that the prince of wales has gave an honour to a peer — who spent £1.7 million bailing out the prince's eco—village. they also feature a colourful picture from today's pride celebrations. travel delays take the lead in the sunday people — they say it's the last hope to save the summer holidays. the online edition of the independent shows another picture celebrating 50 years of pride. they've spoken to a tory mp who claims he was groped twice by chris pincher. and finally, the daily star says �*let�*s all get hot and dirty�* with a heatwave on the way. so, let's begin and we're going to start with the sunday times. prints�*s on

making criticisms about the government's plans to deport asylum—seekers to rwanda. i think there are some who will say that the fact that these stories have now been released and seen the light of day is not unconnected to that, but certainly, it raises questions about the prince's decision—making, which given other stories we have tonight about the queen rolling back her own role in terms of active participation, very interesting questions about the future. {131 questions about the future. of course, on the powers say there's no connection between the two men. just bringing in that story, queen's lighter duties confirmed by palace. yes. duties confirmed by palace. yes, it's probably _ duties confirmed by palace. yes, it's probably not _ duties confirmed by palace. yes, it's probably not a _ duties confirmed by palace. yes, it's probably not a surprise - duties confirmed by palace. yes, it's probably not a surprise because over the _ it's probably not a surprise because over the last 12 months, we have

11:36 pm
that the prime minister was not aware of specific allegations when chris pincher was made deputy with. but of course, there were suggestions that rumours might have beenin suggestions that rumours might have been in place and the prime minister might have been aware of the reputation. but we don't know. these allegations remain just that, allegations, and time will tell the degree to which we hope this has been dealt with. but also, its a real question for the prime minister once again about whether he is necessarily trusted in the eyes of the public, but also the eyes of some of the people he works with. lucy, the paper says as allegations of unwanted passes and groping a the
11:37 pm
telegraph can disclose that the prime minister was my decision to appoint chris pincher —— prime minister's decision, prompted the resignation of craig whitaker. just to bring in briefly the independent, and its story for tomorrow, it's quoting an mp that says he doesn't bring interns into parliament because of concerns about safeguarding issues. he would prefer to see interns at work in the constituency office rather than bring them into parliament. clearly, this is raising questions about judgment, about the culture in parliament as well. is judgment, about the culture in parliament as well.— parliament as well. is raising questions — parliament as well. is raising questions about _ parliament as well. is raising questions about how - parliament as well. is raising questions about how that - parliament as well. is raising - questions about how that culture is handled _ questions about how that culture is handled as — questions about how that culture is handled as well because where there are human _ handled as well because where there are human beings, then there will be human behaviour on a spectrum, some of which _ human behaviour on a spectrum, some of which is _ human behaviour on a spectrum, some of which is inappropriate, even

11:40 pm
and secondly, do the public believe him? because if the narrative continues to gain momentum, the prime minister cannot be trusted, thatis prime minister cannot be trusted, that is an extremely difficult thing to 's shift going into the next election. let's move on to the sunday express. a story we've been featuring this evening about travel coming into the school holiday season. the headline there on page two, airports still in chaos but recruits are now put on fast track. questions about whether that will be enough to sort out potential problems, lucy. it that will be enough to sort out potential problems, lucy. it may well not be _ potential problems, lucy. it may well not be because _ potential problems, lucy. it may well not be because it _ potential problems, lucy. it may well not be because it isn't - potential problems, lucy. it may well not be because it isn'tjust l well not be because it isn'tjust about— well not be because it isn'tjust about baggage handlers or check—in staff or— about baggage handlers or check—in staff or cabin crew. it's a perfect storm. _ staff or cabin crew. it's a perfect storm, almost, of so many elements within— storm, almost, of so many elements within the _ storm, almost, of so many elements within the airline industry and within— within the airline industry and within the airline industry and within the hospitality, holiday industry— within the hospitality, holiday industry more widely. creating all

11:43 pm
situation for the airline industry and the hospitality and holiday industry more widely to deal with. if they don't get it right this summer, where they make so much of their money, then it could be a real concern for them moving forward. ihla concern for them moving forward. no doubt a story that we will be returning to. tonight, that's it from the papers. thank you very much for taking a look at the papers with me. next, it's time for the film everywhere. it's good night for me. —— of the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news.
