this is bbc news, the headlines. borisjohnson is fighting to survive as prime minister after two senior members of the british cabinet, the chancelor rishi sunak and the health secretary sajid javid resigned over controversies linked to mrjohnson. borisjohnson is accused of making several misleading statements, most recently about the case of the mp chris pincher. the former minister is accused of sexual misconduct, after he drunkenly groped men at a private club. the prime minister has appointed nadhim zahawi as new chancellor. mr zahawi is the former education secretary, loyal to borisjohnson. mrjohnson�*s chief of staff, steve barclay, becomes health secretary. the leader of the opposition labour party, keir starmer,

has said the government was now collapsing amid sleaze, scandals and failure. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are benedicte paviot, who is the uk correspondent for france 2a, and ali miraj, columnist at the article. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the telegraph describes johnson as "hanging by a thread" after the resignations of sunak and javid. the sun say johnson is in the "last chance

saloon" and described him as being "knifed" on a "day from hell." the daily mail poses the slighlty unusual question of "can even boris the greased piglet wriggle out of this?" the mirror's headline is quite literally "finally" they describe it as the "end game for boris." the metro wonders if the prime minister will stay. with the headline "going, going, gone? " to represent sajid javid, rishi sunak and borisjohnson the guardian thinks borisjohnson�*s leadership is on the "brink" after two of his ministers quit the times has a similar headline, which is "johnson on the brink." and the daily star has a colourful take on the story with borisjohnson depicted as a clown with the headline "curtains for bozo." so let's begin...

welcome back to you both. i can't think of a single newspaper which is taken a different line on this. all the same phrases on the brain, and the same phrases on the brain, and the mail, traditionally a big support of the prime minister can even boris agrees piglet wriggle out of this one? seems clear certainly for today that he is hanging on. yes, we can say with certainty is on the one hand the uk prime minister on tuesday the 5th ofjuly is boris johnson. we can't answer for the coming days, it used to be said that a week was a long time and politics, i think will have to revise that saying. there is no doubt the daily mail and many other papers talk about being on the brink and about borisjohnson fighting for his political survival. and to lose his chancellor in the middle of a cost—of—living crisis with public sector strikes already having

started, others threatened, inflation at 9.1% and nhs still very much if not on its knees and in an emergency ward of itself because of the various operations that didn't happen during the covid pandemic because of staff being ill, we've got the rest of covid again. it's interesting the daily mail talks about a coup attempt. we had two major resignation that at first sajid javid the health secretary, ex—health secretary and x exchequer rishi sunak, all of this is the prime minister clearly too late for some. those two big beasts and the government was doing an on air apology to chris mason about the fact that if he had his time again he wouldn't have hired or promoted

chris pincher. he doesn't have his time again in this been so many apologies and some papers talk, we can come onto it about the self—defeating blows. these are made by borisjohnson and of course they are notjust affecting his survival but the prospects of the conservative party. with the two by elections and in the future. political sources say both men deny it was choreographed. rishi sunak knew about the resignation or heard about it in the media. just picking up on the daily mail front page, borisjohnson fights back, making nadim zahawi his bold chancellor. it seems thejohnson chutzpah certainly publicly hasn't departed him yet. he is appointed to serious competent people _ is appointed to serious competent people both as health secretary and steve _ people both as health secretary and steve barkley has been around long time, _ steve barkley has been around long time, very— steve barkley has been around long time, very experienced, sensible,

times by the political editor, not sure if it's in this copy but the prime minister was told on five occasions about the unsuitability of pincher. what it shows is the fact that the prime minister is running out of allies and needed somebody like pincher in government to help him get through.— like pincher in government to help him get through. yes. that's why the words of integrity, _ him get through. yes. that's why the words of integrity, losing _ words of integrity, losing confidence, principles the word used a lot and i think it's the fact that the sentiment, notjust across the country as we're seeing in polls, not as we just saw in those by election defeats, particularly heavy in the case of the winning of the liberal democrats. there was a huge swing. then the sudden resignation and let's not forget of the co—chairman oliver dowden of the conservative party. not surprising that when the times talks about the fact thatjohnson's opponents are now saying that they're going to definitely push for a second

confidence vote in the prime minister before the summer recess. now, where are now going to into the 6th ofjuly and the recesses on the 22nd. we know there are reelections of the 1922 committee next week when you put pm cues, which i think is viewing tomorrow and then you have a two and half hour liaison committee session, how grueling with forensic questioning, they are usually very good at, not exactly borisjohnson's huge supporters either but very seasoned, very well—versed mps that will be again appointment viewing. in 24 will be again appointment viewing. in 2a hours times, it will be fascinating. in 24 hours times, it will be fascinating.— in 24 hours times, it will be fascinating. in 24 hours times, it will be fascinatina. �* , , ., fascinating. let's 'ust look at the nissan and _ fascinating. let's 'ust look at the nissan and the — fascinating. let's just look at the nissan and the metro _ fascinating. let's just look at the nissan and the metro headlinesl fascinating. let's just look at the i nissan and the metro headlines as well, ali last chance saloon, going, going, gone in the metro. there are

described between the prime minister and emmanuel macron, pretty frosty time. how will the international community be feeling this and particularly france in terms of the migrant crisis and all the other issues that have been problematic between both the uk and france? precisely. what foreign leaders will be asking, notjust newly elected president emmanuel macron with the difficulties he's got in his parliament at the moment, the freshly elected parliament. what will it change in either economic policy in the united kingdom to do with resolving the huge issue, problematic notjust with resolving the huge issue, problematic not just for with resolving the huge issue, problematic notjust for northern ireland and the united kingdom but for the u of the northern island protocol? these will be serious questions. who could replace boris johnson? all these questions will have already been looked at. let's remember that every sense the daily mirror at revelations back in

january, i don't know if he's a greasy picking it or if one wants to use another expression, the fact is this is a man whose survival skills and escape apology is extraordinary. so how long more will he escape, is this the beginning of the end? all these questions will be looked at. but unlike in the united kingdom, brexit certainly is talked about far less in the eu, they've got their own problems. the cost—of—living crisis, notjust in the uk but in other eu countries around the world, post pandemic to deal with. of course there were in ukraine is occupying many minds and there is not a lot of cooperation. the world... the world would be that cooperation defence, security all those things continue and indeed that's been good after the dire relations that have been between the two countries, not least because of the problems with migrants come across the channel. also the

northern island protocol that this could remain still and even keel. when i see sentences in certain papers, business as usual. i think the daily express talks about the prime minister adopted a determined style. yes, ithink prime minister adopted a determined style. yes, i think he needs to focus entities clearly trying to get a grip. let's see what resignations, the next 24 hours 24 hours and rather rishi sunak and ort sajid javid decide to not have them publish their letters on twitter for the world to see, whether they add new interviews or statements to their letters. i think that will be crucial for this their letters. i think that will be crucialfor this prime their letters. i think that will be crucial for this prime minister who as an alley quite rightly said, this country faces many challenges. there are people with long covid, people who have jobs, are people with long covid, people who havejobs, tojobs who are people with long covid, people who have jobs, to jobs who can't pay their bills. these are very real world problems. edi their bills. these are very real world problems.— world problems. of course. i let's move on to _ world problems. of course. i let's move on to the _ world problems. of course. i let's move on to the end _ world problems. of course. i let's move on to the end again - world problems. of course. i let's move on to the end again boris i move on to the end again boris johnson on the brink. somebody guess of an interview over the last few hours who said at the root of of

this is integrity but also brexit. because he promised to get brexit done. brexit is still not done. in fact farfrom done in done. brexit is still not done. in fact far from done in terms of northern island protocol and things like that. how much of an undercurrent is there to this of those staunch remainders who will never forgive those staunch remainders who will neverforgive him those staunch remainders who will never forgive him for doing what he did? ., , never forgive him for doing what he did? . , ., , , never forgive him for doing what he did? . , , .,, did? clearly he has his detractors and they will _ did? clearly he has his detractors and they will never _ did? clearly he has his detractors and they will never forgive - did? clearly he has his detractors and they will never forgive them l did? clearly he has his detractors i and they will never forgive them for what he _ and they will never forgive them for what he did. they are not fans, never _ what he did. they are not fans, never have _ what he did. they are not fans, never have been and never will be. there _ never have been and never will be. there is— never have been and never will be. there is also — never have been and never will be. there is also criticism coming from all wings— there is also criticism coming from all wings of— there is also criticism coming from all wings of the conservative party. i've all wings of the conservative party. i've spoken — all wings of the conservative party. i've spoken to a number of mps at west minister today who are very loyal _ west minister today who are very loyal supporters of the prime minister— loyal supporters of the prime minister were just fed up. they are fed up— minister were just fed up. they are fed up of— minister were just fed up. they are fed up of going out and be marched up fed up of going out and be marched up the _ fed up of going out and be marched up the mountain only to have the rug select— up the mountain only to have the rug select from _ up the mountain only to have the rug select from and to their feet constantly. the problem here is one now on— constantly. the problem here is one now on discipline and trust him with the prime minister says. there is a trust _ the prime minister says. there is a trust deficit — the prime minister says. there is a trust deficit within the conservative party in terms of what

fundamentally disagree at any time, let alone when the country faces so many challenges, rishi sunak clearly made it very clear that he thought this was not the right time to cut taxes because he thinks this could help fuel basically inflation. he felt it should be waited for. this will please a certain constituency within the tory party if indeed there are this cutting of taxes. i think the advance, my dear boy will supersede all of this because yes, there are pm cues, the liaison committee that awaits the prime minister, i don't know how he's going to be working tonight but i think the attacks will come heavy. the questions will come heavy. it will be very closely monitored and will be very closely monitored and will more resignations come after tomorrow and what happens with a 1922 committee?— tomorrow and what happens with a 1922 committee? sorry to interrupt

it is a wave very few ever ride. cameron norrie looked nervous before his own final. he was to set s21 down david goffin against a hotly experienced belgian. stay with me, nori urge number one court. only he could produce those shots cameron norrie to take the full set. ——. cameron norrie has won tournaments before, normal tournaments for the client or world rankings in normal circumstances. this was not normal. this was the fifth set. and he broke david goffin the serve. cameron norrie stamina and composure got him here to 7—5, you done it, really. cameron norrie has collected influences and experiences from around the world with her peers mum from wales, dad from scotland and now everyone knows his name. it

now everyone knows his name. it wasn't going my way from the beginning and i wasn't feeling good and feeling the ball and that was all credit to david, he was moving me, playing really good and i couldn't find my game thanks to you guys... couldn't find my game thanks to you cu s... , _ couldn't find my game thanks to you cu s... , , , ., couldn't find my game thanks to you cu s... , , . , guys... reserved by nature may be, but is going — guys... reserved by nature may be, but is going into all _ guys... reserved by nature may be, but is going into all of _ guys... reserved by nature may be, but is going into all of cameron - but is going into all of cameron norrie this. what lies ahead for? only opportunity. next he plays some guy named jaco that actually came through his own five set quarterfinal here on novak djokovic centre court. —— novak djokovic beware cameron norrie, is get a take it to you, very politely he said so. ons jabeur it is through to the women's draw. check mary busch, who kept her dream ally next two. the highest surviving seed in the draw is due to the semi final and now play ten matches on the grass and

won the berlin tournament later this grand slam. she will now face tatjana maria german after she overcame her compatriot also in three sets. 103 and mother l2 has never gone further than the third round in a major before this year. england have been preparing for their opening match at the women's european championship tomorrow. the lionesses play austria at old trafford before facing norway and northern ireland in their group, the top two go through to the quarter—finals, with england one of the favourites to lift the trophy. it is an exciting moment and it would be really strange we wouldn't be excited. but what we're talking about is train well, play well, plays a team and play the best game again. and that is in general what we talk about all the time.

northern ireland will make their debut at the tournament and have been settling into their training base at southampton, where they'll play all their games. thomas kane has been speaking to midfielder abbie magee ahead of their opening game. we've done incredibly well, to achieve what we've achieved as a team. i think that this is our time again, we prepared for the last six months that i do believe that this is a perfect time for that we're ready and we can't wait to show what were all about.— were all about. formidable appointments _ were all about. formidable appointments 1st. - were all about. formidable appointments 1st. one - were all about. formidable appointments 1st. one of l were all about. formidable l appointments 1st. one of the favourites of the competition. definitely. we played them before, we know they bid is 6—0, there are an amazing team i think we just need to prepare the way that we know we can play against them and show how good we're for that i think if we prepared well for this matches a massive test for us that will hopefully get through. the england captain ben stokes says "they are trying to rewrite how test cricket is being played." they completed a brilliant 7 wicket victory over india in the rearranged final test to level the series. they easily reached the 378 runs required, their highest successful run chase in tests.
