i think the third round will be remembered for what rory mcilroy did right there. from problem to solution. on the tenth, it was an eagle, too — and that took rory mcilroy into the lead, for a while. others, cameron smith went backwards, and if the secret of golf at st andrews is the skill of getting out of bunkers, it was unfortunate indeed went when dustinjohnson found himself cutting into one. —— found himself putting into one. gradually, they all fell away. mcilroy and hovland will resume 16 under part together, mcilroy and hovland will resume 16 under par together, four clear of the rest, 18 left to play. joe wilson, bbc news, st andrews. i love that i have so much support. that is wonderful. but, at the same time, i need to sort of, you know, just keep in my own little world

are saying today. with us are sebastian payne who is the whitehall editor for the ft and anne mcelvoy — senior editor at the economist. to them in a moment but let's look at today's front pages, starting with... the conservative leadership contest features heavily in many of the papers. all five remaining candidates have articles in the sunday telegraph — though the paper leads with rishi sunak�*s promise to review all eu law still in force in the uk. the sunday express goes with the same story — calling it a pledge to "torch eu red tape." it's a similar story in the independent — which says sunak is trying to appeal to brexit supporters in the conservative party. the observer reports that cop 26 president alok sharma may it's a similar story in the independent — which says sunak is trying to appeal to brexit supporters in the conservative party. the observer reports that cop 26 president alok sharma may quit his cabinetjob if the new tory leader dumps the plan for net zero. the sunday times splashes on fresh claims about penny mordaunt�*s views on trans rights. the mail on sunday has the same lead — claiming leaked documents show she once supported people being able

to choose their own gender. the sunday mirror reports that borisjohnson was absent from today's cobra meeting discussing the heatwave. hello to both of you. hello to sebastian and anne. sebastian, the sunday times, because we will get into the politics in a moment, but we will start with what the majority of the country is feeling and talking about. chaos looms as britain faces the big a0. talking about. chaos looms as britain faces the big 40. everybody is lookin: britain faces the big 40. everybody is looking forward _ britain faces the big 40. everybody is looking forward to _ britain faces the big 40. everybody is looking forward to tuesday - is looking forward to tuesday without a dread and how hot it will get. you can see the heat map on the front of the sunday times. that big red blob that is london. the rest of the country in various degrees of orange and red showing just how hot it will be. 40 degrees heat isn't unusualfor it will be. 40 degrees heat isn't unusual for many other countries. in australia, for example, it is normal to have that in summertime but not

in britain. our infrastructure is not up to it. network rail have announced there will be mass train closures because the tracks will get too hot. i imagine the roads will be hell as the tarmac starts to soften as it gets softer. so many of our older buildings have air—conditioning. i live part of my life in america where everything had air—conditioning and when you had those swampy days when it was high 30s and 40s, you had to lock yourself in your air—conditioned building, geta yourself in your air—conditioned building, get a cab from place to place. that's not really possible here. there is a lot of worry within government. one of the curious nuggets on the front of the sunday times is the words cobra meeting, which is the government's emergency committee. borisjohnson did not attend that and said he was having a party at chequers according to some reports. the chancellor of the... is chief —— if tuesday is as disruptive

as suggested people won't be happy with the prime minister. there is a debate as to whether children should stay in school or at home because some of the older schools don't have air—conditioning and aren't ready for this. air—conditioning and aren't ready forthis. basically air—conditioning and aren't ready for this. basically it'll be a not good 24 hours for the country. indeed, laboursays good 24 hours for the country. indeed, labour says prime minister missing in action yesterday. anne, are you ready for the go slow over the next few days? i are you ready for the go slow over the next few days?— the next few days? i would like to be. the next few days? i would like to be- unless _ the next few days? i would like to be- unless you — the next few days? i would like to be. unless you have _ the next few days? i would like to be. unless you have taken - the next few days? i would like to | be. unless you have taken holiday you are _ be. unless you have taken holiday you are still in work mode and i think_ you are still in work mode and i think that — you are still in work mode and i think that leads to all of the infrastructure problem sebastian was laying _ infrastructure problem sebastian was laying out _ infrastructure problem sebastian was laying out. people do still have to -et laying out. people do still have to get on _ laying out. people do still have to get on with theirjobs. as well as they can — get on with theirjobs. as well as they can i— get on with theirjobs. as well as they can. i think that'll be difficult _ they can. i think that'll be difficult. it's the return of the zoom — difficult. it's the return of the zoom and _ difficult. it's the return of the zoom and online hang—out, isn't it? i thought— zoom and online hang—out, isn't it? i thought we — zoom and online hang—out, isn't it? i thought we had got over some of those _ i thought we had got over some of those after the pandemic. the opposite — those after the pandemic. the opposite experience in a sense to my colleague _ opposite experience in a sense to my colleague as i lived in moscow, sol was more _ colleague as i lived in moscow, sol was more used to the very hot in the

really? taste the government and officials to us, reall ? ~ ., ~ really? we went through the cop26 climate summit _ really? we went through the cop26 climate summit which _ really? we went through the cop26 climate summit which really - really? we went through the cop26| climate summit which really brought theissue climate summit which really brought the issue of climate change to the fore here. this will only add rocket boosters under those in government to do something about this but this links into the tory leadership contest. i have to say that i am based in westminster during this week and the house of westminster is probably the worst building in the country to be in during a heatwave. it is boiling in the summer, freezing in the winter, no air—conditioning. the corridor where i work hasn't had working central heating for 35 years. it's not going to be a pleasant experience. this issue about climate change will spill into the leadership contest. several candidates have watered down some of those net zero commitments which seems bonkers compared to what's going on in the country. people will get a real sense of what climate change will be like and how we will have to adapt our lives. instead you've got some people vying to be the next prime ministers

saying we should not be as bothered about this, we should sit back and do it at a lower rate, which i don't think is where most of the country will be. din think is where most of the country will be. �* , think is where most of the country will be. . , ., ,., will be. an interesting line about et will be. an interesting line about pet owners _ will be. an interesting line about pet owners during _ will be. an interesting line about pet owners during the _ will be. an interesting line about pet owners during the heat - will be. an interesting line about pet owners during the heat and i pet owners during the heat and giving them plenty of water. do you have pets? taste giving them plenty of water. do you have ets? ~ ., , ~ . have pets? we do this weekend. we have pets? we do this weekend. we have a visiting _ have pets? we do this weekend. we have a visiting dog. _ have pets? we do this weekend. we have a visiting dog. she _ have pets? we do this weekend. we have a visiting dog. she is _ have a visiting dog. she is gorgeous. the entire weekend is gorgeou5. the entire weekend is basicaiiy— gorgeou5. the entire weekend is basically revolving around what dora needs _ basically revolving around what dora needs and _ basically revolving around what dora needs and where she needs to be. we have about _ needs and where she needs to be. we have about six human 5taying needs and where she needs to be. we have about six human staying in the house _ have about six human staying in the house at _ have about six human staying in the house at the same time and we basicaiiy— house at the same time and we basically do whatever dora want5 house at the same time and we basically do whatever dora wants to do. ~ . basically do whatever dora wants to do. . ., ., , ., basically do whatever dora wants to do. ~ . ., ., basically do whatever dora wants to do. ~ . ., y., ., ., basically do whatever dora wants to do. . ., ., ., ., ., she do. what are you doing for dora? she is over here- — do. what are you doing for dora? she is over here. she _ do. what are you doing for dora? she is over here. she has _ do. what are you doing for dora? she is over here. she has a _ do. what are you doing for dora? she is over here. she has a little - do. what are you doing for dora? she is over here. she has a little cool - is over here. she has a little cool cupboard — is over here. she has a little cool cupboard it— is over here. she has a little cool cupboard. it is a lada 5tyle thing. that— cupboard. it is a lada 5tyle thing. that is— cupboard. it is a lada 5tyle thing. that is where she is in residence. -- tarder~ — that is where she is in residence. -- tarder~ she _ that is where she is in residence. —— larder. she goes into the garden when _ —— larder. she goes into the garden when she _ —— larder. she goes into the garden when she fancies that kind of activity _ when she fancies that kind of activity. basically the entire house

another round on tuesday and a final round on wednesday, assuming that is nobody drops out. the dynamics of the race are rishi sunak are still the race are rishi sunak are still the frontrunner. on the front page of the sunday telegraph he is trying to burnish his brexit credentials. he has been painted by some boris johnson loyalists as a wet liberal proto— socialist as jacob rees mogg described him as. he was a brexiteer. he did back leaving the eu. he is trying to play on that saying we need to cut regulation and look at all of the laws that were transferred when we left the blocks. that's his big pitch. liz truss is talking about socialist housing targets. they were in the 2019 manifesto. she wants to been the target to build new houses each year. i'm not sure how that tallies with the manifesto. she is pictured on the front of the sunday telegraph wearing her pudsey bow outfit which i believe is an exact replica of what margaret thatcher wore the night before the election, so you

can see what she is trying to do there. —— pussybow blouse. we have tom tugendhat and kemi badenoch. they are trying to stay relevant within the race. we they are trying to stay relevant within the race.— they are trying to stay relevant within the race. we will come to some of the _ within the race. we will come to some of the other _ within the race. we will come to some of the other candidates i within the race. we will come to some of the other candidates in | within the race. we will come to l some of the other candidates in a moment. those housing targets. do you think we are seeing the right things being discussed by all candidates here? we things being discussed by all candidates here?— things being discussed by all candidates here? ~ . , ., ., candidates here? we are starting to see the right _ candidates here? we are starting to see the right things _ candidates here? we are starting to see the right things being _ see the right things being discussed, i'm not sure it is the di5cu55ed, i'm not sure it is the right— di5cu55ed, i'm not sure it is the right framing becau5e di5cu55ed, i'm not sure it is the right framing because we need to provide _ right framing because we need to provide a — right framing because we need to provide a lot more hou5ing. on top of many— provide a lot more hou5ing. on top of many other challenges the country has, and _ of many other challenges the country has, and i_ of many other challenges the country has, and i think we should be talking — has, and i think we should be talking a _ has, and i think we should be talking a lot more about the economy and the _ talking a lot more about the economy and the position is a lot more periious — and the position is a lot more perilou5 than has been reflected so far perilous than has been reflected so far in— perilous than has been reflected so far in the _ perilous than has been reflected so far in the race. but under the housing. _ far in the race. but under the housing, well, yes liz truss i5 housing, well, yes liz truss is saying — housing, well, yes liz truss is saying get— housing, well, yes liz truss is saying get rid of the so—called staiinist— saying get rid of the so—called stalinist tactics. overcook

years. you can say that this is something they are finally getting around to. the government did put forward a big piece of legislation that would look at various areas of law that could be tweet or amended. what disturbs me the most is ripping up what disturbs me the most is ripping up the 2019 manifesto. —— that could be tweaked. they are guide rails in terms of what you can and cannot do. borisjohnson won that 2019 election with that manifesto that promised to do all the sorts of things like dealing with the housing crisis, building more houses. tom tugendhat, the candidate furthest away from borisjohnson, he is the one who is backing the house target and saying we need to get more built whereas rishi sunak, closest to boris johnson in government, seems to be more sceptical of them. it's a weird dynamic within this race. it doesn't feel entirely comfortable to me that you have all of these candidates pledging things which don't seem to look at all with what people voted for in 2019. of course this creates

the proposition that whoever wins this race, if they are going to diverge significantly then the drumbeat will be saying, you need a mandate, you need a general election. the tories are a good 11 points behind labour at the moment in the polls. they won't want a general election. this is a tight rope they need to walk and i'm not sure how that will pan out when they get into government.— get into government. absolutely. anne, get into government. absolutely. anne. let's _ get into government. absolutely. anne, let's look— get into government. absolutely. anne, let's look at _ get into government. absolutely. anne, let's look at the _ get into government. absolutely. j anne, let's look at the mallinson. they are looking at penny mordaunt. their headline does leak show penny did back gender self id? the problem for penny mordaunt _ did back gender self id? the problem for penny mordaunt is _ did back gender self id? the problem for penny mordaunt is she _ did back gender self id? the problem for penny mordaunt is she pretty - for penny mordaunt is she pretty clearly— for penny mordaunt is she pretty clearly did back gender self id. it might— clearly did back gender self id. it might have been better... i think she missed — might have been better... i think she missed an opportunity to say, i have _ she missed an opportunity to say, i have changed my view or i found that there _ have changed my view or i found that there were _ have changed my view or i found that there were many things that followed from it _ there were many things that followed from it. she wouldn't be the only one _ from it. she wouldn't be the only one this— from it. she wouldn't be the only one this is— from it. she wouldn't be the only one. this is a difficult issue and

candidates. has this contest be nasty? of course it has. but this is not a race just to be party nasty? of course it has. but this is not a racejust to be party leader but also prime minister, whoever wins this will go straight into number ten, wins this will go straight into numberten, and i think wins this will go straight into number ten, and i think that's why the stakes are so high, why everybody is playing on the lowest form of politics. but it is great that we get this scrutiny, it's great we have these tv debates, a lot of journalism great we have these tv debates, a lot ofjournalism has dug into it. particularly with candidates like penny mordaunt, a week ago many of your viewers would not have known who she is. trying to examine what her platform exactly is is important. that is the same for tom tugendhat, who was lesser—known. rishi sunak and liz truss better known. but also kemi badenoch. penny mordaunt has the most to prove tonight because she surged very early in this race, coming second in the ballot of mps in those first two ballots. doing well in leadership surveys on the conservative home website. but now she's starting to

lose support. there was a feeling on friday's debate that she wasn't very present, she did not have a lot to say. if she comes out on a punchy stance tonight then i can imagine that by the next vote her support will certainly subside.— will certainly subside. anne, i wonder whether _ will certainly subside. anne, i wonder whether the - will certainly subside. anne, i wonder whether the subject i will certainly subside. anne, i | wonder whether the subject of tonight's debate may move onto a different area. the observer, if we finish there, the climate chief warning he might quit if net zero plan is dumped by the new prime minister. it feels like the whole country is talking about the weather situation in these five candidates are talking about areas. bind situation in these five candidates are talking about areas. and more renerall , are talking about areas. and more generally, cop26 _ are talking about areas. and more generally, cop26 and _ are talking about areas. and more generally, cop26 and that - are talking about areas. and more generally, cop26 and that net - are talking about areas. and more| generally, cop26 and that net zero commitment. i was talking to somebody who had been very involved in it in— somebody who had been very involved in it in government. we are going to have to _ in it in government. we are going to have to get — in it in government. we are going to have to get to net zero. the question— have to get to net zero. the question is what is the timeframe and what — question is what is the timeframe and what is the least damage that will be _ and what is the least damage that will be done on the way there. but it is unpopular a5 will be done on the way there. but it is unpopular as an idea let alone in terms _ it is unpopular as an idea let alone in terms of— it is unpopular as an idea let alone in terms of the practicality with

england, wales, and southern scotland. that said, we have seen some rain today during the early hours of sunday morning. it is starting to ease away. it is fairly light and patchy. just some light drizzle now over eastern england and eventually we will have some sunshine coming through. the temperatures will start to climb this afternoon, potentially across parts of eastern england, maybe we will see highs of 31, 30 2 degrees. and temperatures recovering once the rain clears through. —— 32 degrees. we keep the clear skies. the temperatures won't fall far. patchy cloud and drizzle to the north. very warm nights certainly could have a significant impact on your lifestyle. as we move into monday, it is pretty much wall—to—wall sunshine from the word go and with light winds and that heat coming all the way up from spain and portugal, we are likely to see those temperatures peaking widely into the mid to high 30s but a couple of

spots could see 40, 41 degrees. that's monday afternoon. take a look at ten o'clock monday evening, those temperatures not falling very far. very uncomfortable. the heat will be very oppressive and potentially dangerous so please take precautions. i do have a glimmer of good news. as we move into tuesday, these weather fronts push from the south—west. they will drag in more humidity. if you have the sunshine it'll be more oppressive for many but it'll start to bring some welcome showers, possibly heavy and thundery across south—west england and wales and northern ireland. the temperatures a little fresher here but we could still see temperatures close to orjust above 40 across eastern england. something a bit more comfortable arrives from wednesday onwards. take care.
