sri lanka's deepening economic crisis — the us appeals to politicians to act swiftly as the president says he'll step down after huge demonstrations. voters injapan are choosing members of the country's upper house of parliament in elections overshadowed by the assassination of former prime minister shinzo abe. and in the tennis, defending champion novak djokovic faces nick kyrgios in the men's final at wimbledon later today. to for more on the tennis and the rest of the sport, it's the bbc sport centre. so much to look forward to later at wimbledon later. elena rybakina is waking up this morning as the new

wimbledon champion. she became the first player representing kazakhstan to win a grand slam title, beating tunisian third seed onsjabeur in a gripping final yesterday. but britons alfie hewett and gordon reid's run of ten consecutive grand slam wheelchair doubles titles came to an end. joe wilson was there. in this famous corner of london, it was kazakhstan versus tunisia, a brand—new combination for a wimbledon final and a clash seemingly of styles. ons jabeur is a conjurer of shots. who, from there, could do this? well, only her. elena rybakina has power and stature but her touch initially was unreliable. jabeur took the first set 6—3. but even in a three—set match, there's time to get better, to speed up. into the deciding set, rybakina retains her power but now

she had the movement, the finesse. how could jabeur deal with that? well, she needed an answer early, she could not find one. third set, the victory seemed almost routine. of course, it was years in the making. rybakina is from moscow, she has represented kazakhstan since 2018, but in the year russian players were barred from wimbledon, she is a champion that some in russia claim as theirs. rybakina cannot control perceptions, only her achievements, and she was outstanding throughout this fortnight. i want to say thank you to the royal box, i am playing here for the first time, it is an honour to play in front of you. thank you so much, it is just an unbelievable atmosphere, thank you. this victory for elena rybakina just reinforces how open, how fluid women's tennis seems at the moment. the last six women's

champions here at wimbledon, all different names, all different nationalities. but here's argentina and japan, fernandez and kunieda, finally beating britons hewett and reid after their ten consecutive wheelchair doubles grand slam titles, worth the wait. novak djokovic has said we can expect fireworks later today when he lines up against nick kyrgios in the men's final. djokovic has won 20 grand slams, and he's going for a seventh wimbledon title but he's up against the unpredictable, often volatile and potentially brilliant kyrgios. a lot of the driving force behind me are playing that was for other people, and to give people with not a lot of confidence and people that are different, just to give them some hope that someone like me can go out there and achieve on the largest stage and to go up against the greats like djokovic, nadal, federer, the perfect ones, as we like to call them, someone like me going up against them and showing the world it's possible.

being in wimbledon, i never lacked motivation because of the uniqueness of this tournament and what it represents in the sport and to me personally. so, yeah, it's been quite a few years that i have been on the tour and been blessed to play at the highest level and win big trophies but i still want to keep going. i still feel hungry for success and i'm just glad to put myself in another good position to win a trophy. wales made some history yesterday as they beat south africa in south africa for the very first time. the only try of the game was scored byjosh adams with less than two minutes to go. that brought them to within a point of the world cup winners and left gareth anscombe with a tricky, high—pressure kick to win it. and what a moment for him, sending it through the posts from a tight angle.

it's now a winner—takes—all game for all home nations next weekend. england's cricketers have lost their t20 series against india. they looked like restricting their opponents to a manageable target at edgbaston but some late hitting from ravindra jadeja boosted the tourists to 170—8. england wickets tumbled regularly, and when top scorer moeen ali went for 35, the game was up. india won by 49 runs and lead 2—0 with the final match in nottingham later this afternoon. at the women's euros, many predicted a tight game between the netherlands and sweden and that's how it transpired. the swedes, who won the first ever euros in 1984, took the lead at bramall lane through former chelsea playerjonna andersson. but the holders responded in the second half, jill roord with the equaliser. in the same group, portugal produced a stunning comeback to draw 2—2 with switzerland. lewis hamilton will start today's austrian grand prix from eighth after a frustrating sprint race at the red bull ring. the briton crashed in friday qualifying, which saw him start

the sprint race from ninth. he was almost taken out at the first corner and then endured a long tussle with mick schumacher, which meant he could only make up one place. a comfortable victory for max verstappen saw the dutchman increase his championship lead to 38 points, and he'll start this afternoon's grand prix from pole. it's super league's magic weekend, with a full round matches being played at st james�* park, in newcastle. there was a dramatic finish between the top two as st helens beat local rivals wigan 20—18. there were just two minutes left whenjonny lomax gave the super league champions the lead. saints go four points clear at the top. that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, here's the papers. hello and welcome to our look at what the the papers

are saying today. with me are the journalist and author shyama perera and dave wooding, the political editor of the sun on sunday. welcome to you both, thank you for being with us. the observer, like many of the papers this morning, is focusing on the conservative leadership contest. it claims that a senior conservative believes that borisjohnson is bitter and says he's trying to wreck rishi sunak�*s bid to replace him. the leadership campaign also dominates the sunday telegraph, but its focus is on the two former health secretaries, jeremy hunt and sajid javid. it reports that they're both calling for cuts to taxation. the sunday times takes a similar line on the contest but highlights issues around tax. it reports that the former chancellor rishi sunak is being attacked from all sides. the mail on sunday announces that the foreign secretary liz truss

is to put her name forward to replace borisjohnson. it claims she's planning to reverse rishi sunak�*s tax rises. meanwhile, the front page of the sunday express quotes the brexit ministerjacob rees—mogg, who warns that those who betrayed boris will now seek to neuter brexit. the opposition and sir keir starmer take the lead on the front page of the sunday mirror. it says the labour leader wants a general election and has described borisjohnson as squatting in downing street. let's kick off. dave, i want to start with you because you have written a story in your paper which we will highlight, rishi sunak hits by dirty tricks plot what are they dirty tricks does this are going to be quite a bloody leadership

contest, do you think? it’s be quite a bloody leadership contest, do you think? it's turned nasty already. — contest, do you think? it's turned nasty already, they _ contest, do you think? it's turned nasty already, they are _ contest, do you think? it's turned nasty already, they are all - contest, do you think? it's turned nasty already, they are all out - contest, do you think? it's turned nasty already, they are all out to | nasty already, they are all out to get one another and the temperature seem to crank up a little yesterday when ben wallace, the defence secretary, he was seen as the closest rival, the only minister who could defeat rishi sunak, dropped out of the race. so, as a result, all the briefing has started, people are saying that dominic cummings, the loathed, as is seen by many, former aide of borisjohnson, is on his side. there are stories that he has been putting out about affairs amongst other contenders and about money—laundering involving another leadership hopeful. so, another one with a slick video that rishi sunak put out, which had something like 10,000 hits within a couple of hours

was eclipsed by another video, an old video in which he says i have lots of upper class and middle class working—class friends. so, so, who's behind all this? ministers ringing and saying i couldn't possibly back someone who owns a £350 a pair of training shoes. the knives are out for richey because you think the only way to stop him is to show that he is not one of us. you only way to stop him is to show that he is not one of us.— he is not one of us. you think it can be stepped? _ he is not one of us. you think it can be stopped? who's - he is not one of us. you think it can be stopped? who's your. he is not one of us. you think it i can be stopped? who's your ted, dave? he can be stopped? who's your ted, dave? .., can be stopped? who's your ted, dave? , , , dave? he can be stopped but there are probably _ dave? he can be stopped but there are probably about _ dave? he can be stopped but there are probably about ten _ dave? he can be stopped but there are probably about ten in _ dave? he can be stopped but there are probably about ten in the - dave? he can be stopped but there are probably about ten in the race i are probably about ten in the race that we know of but it is within a knock each other out. richey is irresistible but the problem for him is that other contenders are talking about cutting the tax which lots of conservative mps and members want and he is saying it is a fairy tale

to say that you can cut taxes at this time during an economic crisis. so that've a tough one and he is going to have to hold the line and that it going to have to hold the line and thatitis going to have to hold the line and that it is going to have to win at the same time.— that it is going to have to win at the same time. that is what a lot of the same time. that is what a lot of the front pages _ the same time. that is what a lot of the front pages are _ the same time. that is what a lot of the front pages are focusing - the same time. that is what a lot of the front pages are focusing on - the same time. that is what a lot of the front pages are focusing on and| the front pages are focusing on and the front pages are focusing on and the sunday times is probably typical tories tear themselves apart over taxes there front line. sous not being attacked from all sides, and instantly seems at this stage of the contest, and we know it will be a long contest runs through the summer, it seems to be the dominant issue. . , ., ~' summer, it seems to be the dominant issue. . , ., ~ , issue. valley now, i think rishi sunak's trump _ issue. valley now, i think rishi sunak's trump card _ issue. valley now, i think rishi sunak's trump card is - issue. valley now, i think rishi sunak's trump card is he - issue. valley now, i think rishi sunak's trump card is he is - issue. valley now, i think rishi sunak's trump card is he is the j issue. valley now, i think rishi - sunak's trump card is he is the only one who _ sunak's trump card is he is the only one who is — sunak's trump card is he is the only one who is saying, let's stick with what _ one who is saying, let's stick with what i _ one who is saying, let's stick with what i said — one who is saying, let's stick with what i said. everyone else seems to be stepping back in one way or anothen — be stepping back in one way or anothen i_ be stepping back in one way or another. i have to say, i am enjoying _ another. i have to say, i am enjoying the dirty tricks, replying to what _ enjoying the dirty tricks, replying to what david was saying about the £300 _ to what david was saying about the £300 trainers, they don't like it into the — £300 trainers, they don't like it into the neat money for wallpaper or some _ into the neat money for wallpaper or

new election of an executive committee which sir graham brady, the chairman, is overseeing, which should be done and dusted by tomorrow afternoon. nominations will close tuesday in the first voting round, which all mps get a vote on, secret ballots, would take place on wednesday, so that will narrow the field down by one, at least, because the person who finishes last in the voting drops out automatically but others may then look at the number of votes they polled and they drop out too. there will probably be a second round on wednesday, so a lot of the chaff, is one minister said to me, will be knocked out before the weekend. and then when we are into next week there were probably another three rounds when we it down to see two and that is when the conservative members decide. the big issue here is, the people are trying to get rishi into power would not want have liz truss on that final ballots, which goes to the membership, because out there in the

public, lots of tory rank—and—file members in the little tory constituency parties around the country like liz truss, to see her as a new margaret thatcher, they like the cut of herjib and they would probably elect her. and there will be an effort to keep her off the final balance one way or another, so there will be a lot of horse trading going on as we get down to the final few candidates. and when we heard from borisjohnson that he was finally stepping down, a lot of people are quite agitated that he was going to be clinging on in downing street for throughout the summer but do you think got used to that idea, they have accepted the idea he will be there until september as a caretaker prime minister? in september as a caretaker prime minister? ., ._ september as a caretaker prime minister? . ._ ., , minister? in a way, we have 'ust said it is up fl minister? in a way, we have 'ust said it is up to i minister? in a way, we have 'ust said it is up to this i minister? in a way, we have 'ust said it is up to this tiny �* said it is up to this tiny percentage of the country to decide who the _ percentage of the country to decide who the next prime minister will be, and we _ who the next prime minister will be, and we have — who the next prime minister will be, and we have no power. it doesn't inatter— and we have no power. it doesn't matter whether he stays or not, the pubiic _ matter whether he stays or not, the pubiic have — matter whether he stays or not, the public have no power on whether he

the anyone but rishi brigade is split amongst the other their conversations going on amongst the right—wing and the european research group element of the conservative party about who they back i had at the moment, the support of the powerful right of the tory party as being split all over the place and they are going to have to decide what candidate they will back if they are going to topple rishi sunak. ., ., ' they are going to topple rishi sunak. ., .,i , ,, �*, sunak. hot off the press, let's get a reaction to _ sunak. hot off the press, let's get a reaction to this, _ sunak. hot off the press, let's get a reaction to this, is _ sunak. hot off the press, let's get a reaction to this, is the _ sunak. hot off the press, let's get a reaction to this, is the news - sunak. hot off the press, let's getj a reaction to this, is the news that penny mordaunt is joining the race and has announced that she is the ninth conservative to join the running.

some good inroads there. she was a defence secretary, she's an attractive politician who speaks well, right of the party, and may do well. there are very few people who feel she has been quietly plotting in the background for some months, which might not work in herfavour, but yes, it's made this race even a little bit more interesting. it's good to have few women running too, because we have liz truss, kemi badenoch and from the very young end of the party, suella braverman, the attorney general in the mix at the moment, so it is a good blend of different people.— moment, so it is a good blend of different people. where 'ustice all leave kier starmer _ different people. where 'ustice all leave kier starmer and h different people. where justice all leave kier starmer and labour? i different people. where justice all i leave kier starmer and labour? the santa maria have a piece here saying that boris johnson santa maria have a piece here saying that borisjohnson are squatting in downing street while squabbling colleagues adjusted to replace him and bring on the general election, says the mirror. do you have a
