hello. this is bbc news. i'm lewis vaughan jones. the headlines: england's women train ahead of the biggest football match of their careers — preparing to take on germany in tomorrow night's euros final. tomorrow is not the end of a journey but the start of one, and i think regardless of the end result of that game, there will be a nice moment for reflection. police investigating the death of nine—year—old lilia valutyte have arrested a 22—year—old man on suspicion of murder. the arrest follows a combination of information supplied by several members of the public. widespread disruption to train services throughout the uk as drivers from seven operators walk out over pay. the race between rishi sunak and liz truss to become

prime minister continues as former leadership rival tom tugendhat backs the foreign secretary. us presidentjoe biden has tested positive for covid—19 for a second time in two weeks. the 79—year—old has no symptoms but will be isolating at the white house. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me is kieran andrews, scottish political editor for the times. we political editor for the times. will say hello in just first, we will say hello in just a minute. first, though, let's take a look at the actual front pages that we'll see tomorrow. the sunday express carries the latest policy initiative from prime ministerial wannabe rishi sunak — he says he'll revitalise britain's high streets. the independent leads on a poll that suggests more than half the country
10:32 pm
want a general election to be called as soon as the tory leadership contest is over and a new prime minister is in place. the sunday telegraph also leads on the race to be the next conservative leader — it says rishi sunak wants the nhs to be able to fine people who miss their appointments, and it reports liz truss says there will be no second scottish independence referendum "on her watch". the sunday mirror focuses on the england match tomorrow, calling the lionesses "roar talent", but its main story focuses on conservative leadership contender rishi sunak. over at the sunday people, there's just one story in town — england's match against germany at wembley. and finally on the front of the sunday times, it breaks with the rest of the sunday papers to focus on alleged donations accepted by charities linked to the prince of wales. let's begin. good evening, thanks very much for coming on and helping us talk through the papers, it is
10:33 pm
great to see you, kieran. lots to focus on. interestingly, lots of the sunday papers going with the conservative michael leadership race, so important of course because whoever wins that becomes the next prime minister. let's start by taking a look at the sunday express front page and the headline there rishi, i'll save the high street. talk us through what is going on there. ., , ., ., ., there. the ballots go out on monday to conservative _ there. the ballots go out on monday to conservative party _ there. the ballots go out on monday to conservative party members, - there. the ballots go out on monday| to conservative party members, who will then be able to start voting to choose the next leader of the tory party but also, as you say, the next prime minister, so we have seen over the last few days and i'm sure you'll see, as we are seeing across the sunday papers, and probably into the sunday papers, and probably into the next week a barrage of policies as both rishi sunak and liz truss try and really went over that party faithful. rishi sunak, it appears, has more to do. you can kind of see
10:34 pm
that from the have a policy being floated here. this is a real kind of populist policy is pushing here, to revitalise the high street, save the high street. revitalise 58,000 empty shops across the uk and stopping from closing branches, which is obviously... both of those things are huge issues, pretty girly following the pandemic, and we saw lots of high street, lots of town centres as well, city centres, really hit during the pandemic —— particularly following. it is quite right to focus on these. if you're to be slightly cynical, you might ask rishi sunak, where were these big ideas when you're running the treasury? big ideas when you're running the treasu ? , ., , , treasury? interesting. that is rishi sunak. treasury? interesting. that is rishi sunak- let's _ treasury? interesting. that is rishi sunak- let's go — treasury? interesting. that is rishi sunak. let's go to _ treasury? interesting. that is rishi sunak. let's go to the _ treasury? interesting. that is rishi sunak. let's go to the front - treasury? interesting. that is rishi sunak. let's go to the front page l treasury? interesting. that is rishi| sunak. let's go to the front page of the sunday times, and look at what rishi sunak�*s opponent in the race is proposing. truss promises and

10:36 pm
who applied, different education system in different parts of the uk, every student who gets straight a stars in their a—levels would automatically been given an interview at oxford or cambridge, which then effectively gives them the offer to turn down rather than them having to either find within themselves or find particularly supportive teachers to put them forward. it is quite an interesting policy... it forward. it is quite an interesting oli , , policy... it is quite interesting idea, but _ policy... it is quite interesting idea, but it — policy... it is quite interesting idea, but it is _ policy... it is quite interesting idea, but it is quite _ idea, but it is quite interventionist, it is not very traditionally conservative. that is ve , traditionally conservative. that is very. very — traditionally conservative. that is very. very true. _ traditionally conservative. that is very, very true, and _ traditionally conservative. that is very, very true, and it _ traditionally conservative. that is very, very true, and it is - traditionally conservative. that is very, very true, and it is also... l very, very true, and it is also... this sounds a gastric quibble to do with it, but there is quite a lot of admin for universities —— this is quite a strange. cannot imagine the admin teams at offered and cameras arejumping up and over the prospect of having to send applications... ——
10:37 pm
at oxford and cambridge. liz truss, this is pretty wider interview with the sunday times, and she puts across her self being a bit more interventions than you would think, a little bit less traditional tory than you might assume, talking about george osborne going too far with austerity, and other little things like that that suggest there is maybe more to come, and this is certainly above the two big policies announced on these two front pages, this sounds like it is coming from the candidate that is plenty for number 10 already rather than the candidate scrapping to try and get backin candidate scrapping to try and get back in the race.— back in the race. interesting. 0k, we are going _ back in the race. interesting. 0k, we are going to — back in the race. interesting. 0k, we are going to leave _ back in the race. interesting. 0k, we are going to leave the - back in the race. interesting. ok, i we are going to leave the leadership race. we'll probably come back to it, but i want to come to the sunday telegraph. no scottish referendum on my watch, pledges truss. it is to do
10:38 pm
with the leadership, but this is a keyissue with the leadership, but this is a key issue in scotland right now. it is. nicola sturgeon, the scottish first minister, leader of the snp, has said she wants to hold independent referendum on october 23 next year. she has gone to the supreme court to see, or get a ruling to see, if holly brewed has the power to call it unilaterally —— if holly brewed —— if holyrood have. if... this is liz truss, herfirst being intervention on the union. it is curious timing. she has focused so far largely on the court tory membership, which is not in scotland, frankly, for population regions as well as demographic reasons, you might say, but it is interesting, coming out quite so
10:39 pm
strongly, not on my watch, not at all, the question starting to be asked is, there is reasonably widespread acceptance in scotland that most people do not want to referendum right now, or even on the nicola sturgeon�*s timetable, but there is an acceptance if the s&p keep winning elections, the question is, beyond this, what might be the route —— if the snp? is there one, or is it at the whim of the uk government of the time? and ethic it is interesting that liz truss, in her big first intervention, is not addressing any policy questions about what her uk government would do in scotland, just saying very, very strongly what is already the very, very basic uk and scottish conservative position.— conservative position. yeah, interestingly, _ conservative position. yeah, interestingly, it _ conservative position. yeah, interestingly, it is _ conservative position. yeah, interestingly, it is news - conservative position. yeah, interestingly, it is news but| interestingly, it is news but nothing new! which happens every now and again. find nothing new! which happens every now and aiain. �* , ,, ., ~ ., .,

10:43 pm
and gentlemen in kyiv. 22 spouses of other world leaders took part, a0 other speakers, many celebrities as well. when we spoke, i asked her how she felt that that group of fellow first ladies has helped her. translation: to be honest, - i felt the power of the community from the very first days of the full—blown invasion of the 24th of february, because each of them provided notjust the words of support but actions. together, we treated... we helped take in children with cancer abroad. we will carry on implementing cultural projects because it's very important to carry on ukrainian cultural expansion without stopping. and we can give an example, the first lady of latvia, that takes care of newborn babies
10:44 pm
of ukrainian mums that were now at the latvian territory. and it's notjust a declaration of friendship. it's not... it's the actions that we are doing together. do you think there is something unique, though, about the way that women help other women? translation: we call this | the diplomacy of soft power. and the first ladies do not have political impact opportunity, but we have the emotional impact. and sometimes it gives more for cooperation between the countries than various political aspects or geopolitical aspects. when we understand one another, when we feel one another, we can cope with a lot more, we can achieve a lot more,
10:45 pm
and the influence of the first ladies in the world cannot be overestimated. it's very powerful. that's why we are using it. are you worried about how many ukrainian women have left, though, when it comes to the recovery of the country, when the war is over, that so many women won't be there, potentially? translation: that was one of the topics we discussed i at the summit, the human factor of restoring ukraine. several million of people are currently abroad, and for the most part, it's women and children. we have not just to worry about them leaving, we also worry about them coming back. we have to work now for them to have somewhere to come back to, to have conditions for normal life and development in ukraine after the war is over — a lot of tasks to resolve them
