9:31 am
hundreds of thousands of students received their exam results on thursday, allowing them to sort out their university places. but some btec students are still waiting to see how they did in vocational courses. exam board pearson won't reveal how many are affected but says it's a small percentage. the association of colleges isn't impressed. pearson won't tell us the numbers, but i know in some colleges there are several hundred students who haven't got their results from pearson. in any normal year there is a handful, perhaps, in a college. but hundreds is unprecedented. so we absolutely need pearson to openly investigate what went wrong, publish the findings and make sure this doesn't happen again. in a statement, pearson said: another exam board, ocr,
9:32 am
is also apologising for delays in issuing cambridge technical�*s results, a vocational qualification with an emphasis on workplace skills. it says it has delivered more than 1,000 results in the last 2a hours. among those waiting is breanna butterworth, who studied health and social care. my anxiety has been absolutely through the roof, because, you know — it's not like the university is going to hold my place for ever. it's going to need to be taken up some time. the education secretary on twitter wrote: this course is actually a shortlist interview course anyway. students affected are advised to contact the university they are hoping to go to directly, and ask them to hold their place. simon jones, bbc news.
9:33 am
hello and welcome to our look at what the the papers are saying today. with me are broadcaster daisy mcandrew and business journalistjohn crowley. today's front pages... the sunday times frontpage — uk students must pay tuition fees closer to £24,000 a year or lose their places to applicants overseas, urge university bosses. the sunday mirror reports 2.6 million of subsidised meals were binned in the houses of parliament, as soaring food prices hit family households. waste—minster, is its headline. the mail on sunday leads with kwasi kwarteng's promise that help is coming for families struggling with soaring energy bills
9:34 am
there is the article, cost of living help is coming, something we will tackle in a moment. the sunday express says britain's business are being urged to get ready for a trade deal predicted to open up a post—brexit market of around half a billion people. the sunday telegraph follows the conservative race to become prime minister — as candidate liz truss pledges to halt the exodus of nhs doctors and clear the surging back log and waiting lists. and the observer has a picturesque autumn photo, and yet it's the middle of august — experts say heatwaves and dry weather has pushed trees into survival mode. nice and viable mode here. we have lots to get through. we'll start with the sunday times and the story about the universities. what's the story, daisy? about the universities. what's the story. daisy?— story, daisy? this is probably the best story in _

9:36 am
from overseas. that is up 7%. that does explain why so many kids, 18—year—olds who have just got their a—level results, have failed to get into the universities they want to. it's into the universities they want to. it�*s notjust because the regulators and the people marking the exams have had to downgrade their grades and we�*ve all talked about this for the last week or so but it�*s also because universities are choosing to take so many more foreign students. we�*ve seen it in places like 0xford, cambridge and bristol where a record number of british students have failed to get their places because a record number of overseas students have got their places.— record number of overseas students have got their places. some students sa in: on have got their places. some students saying on social _ have got their places. some students saying on social media _ have got their places. some students saying on social media that _ have got their places. some students saying on social media that £9,250 . have got their places. some students saying on social media that £9,250 a| saying on social media that £9,250 a year is already far too much so

9:39 am
as we know, last year a lot of kids who wanted to study medicine at their places referred, they were financially arrived to refer their places for a year by universities that had too many teenagers wanted to become doctors or medics. we�*ve got the situation again and jeremy hunt saying in the sunday times today that it beggars belief, the decision about not wanting to cap the cost of tuition fees. he says there is a cost to lifting or increasing the cap but the 6 billion annual cost of using locums, in other words buying in doctors and medics because we haven�*t trained enough doctors, is far higher. i know that an 18—year—old going to university next month isn�*t going to help the current crisis, it�*s going to take many years to become a fully qualified doctor but it doesn�*t seem like a joined qualified doctor but it doesn�*t seem like ajoined up qualified doctor but it doesn�*t seem like a joined up thinking at all to be limiting the number of students who can study medicine when we�*ve

9:43 am
of those front—page stories that shows we are in silly season where there�*s very little real news around because this article, from what i can see, really didn�*t merit being on the front page of a national newspaper because there is no real policy in there. it�*s we feel your pain, help is on the way, you read the article and it is, yes, we�*ll let you know the details at some time. and in fact, let you know the details at some time. and infact, rishi let you know the details at some time. and in fact, rishi sunak has been more specific about the sort of help that he would be putting in place, reversing the national insurance, cutting vat on energy bills is what sunak said. as far as the truss team and kwasi kwarteng, they think they will reverse national insurance increase but apart from that, there is a very, very little i can tell you about what it would mean. it�*s we feel your pain, we have terribly sorry, we will hold your hand but of course the real situation is that the
9:44 am
public finances, like everybody�*s finances, are looking pretty ropey and there�*s very little wiggle room. i thought we might get a mrs doubtfire impression from you. a quick word on rishi sunak, who strikes a word of caution over this. he is striking a word of caution and as daisy— he is striking a word of caution and as daisy said, he's put more meat on the bones— as daisy said, he's put more meat on the bones and actually it's the labour— the bones and actually it's the labour party who have put both candidates on the back that because they have _ candidates on the back that because they have promised to freeze the current _ they have promised to freeze the current £1900 annual rate. we are due to — current £1900 annual rate. we are due to get _ current £1900 annual rate. we are due to get this friday an announcement on what the cap will rise to _ announcement on what the cap will rise to an— announcement on what the cap will rise to an october and its remit to be about— rise to an october and its remit to be about £3500. labour's bill is said to — be about £3500. labour's bill is said to be — be about £3500. labour's bill is said to be around 29 billion, the conservatives said it would be double — conservatives said it would be double that but this policy, and it's very— double that but this policy, and it's very handy for oppositions to say this— it's very handy for oppositions to say this because they don't have to spend _ say this because they don't have to spend it. _ say this because they don't have to spend it, but they've come up with a policy— spend it, but they've come up with a policy like _ spend it, but they've come up with a policy like a — spend it, but they've come up with a policy like a fellow policy which has proved very popular with voters.

9:46 am
beans but this story, cost of living exclusive, this is a freedom of information question that that niro has put to the houses of parliament about food waste and the headline figure of 2.6 million is pretty stomach churning and none of us are proof of food waste. however, when you dig down it turns out that the house of commons or palace of westminster has improved its waste, the waste has gone down year—on—year for the last few years. i actually feel a bit sorry for the palace of westminster or whoever is running the kitchen is there. we all know that subsidised food in the commons is quite extraordinary, they pay £4 for an average meal, which is considerably less than anybody outside westminster gets but when it comes to actually the number or the
9:47 am
amount of feed they are throwing away, it turns out it�*s gone down from 152 thousand kilograms in 2020 and it is sorry, it�*s gone down from 150,000 to 148,000. actually i think they�*ve done quite well in reducing food waste. ifear that they�*ve done quite well in reducing food waste. i fear that this is, journalists scrabbling around on a friday and saturday in august, saying what can we put on a front page? this will do. it nods to the fact borisjohnson vowed to tackle food waste more than a decade ago and on the prime minister, if we look at the sun on sunday, the prime minister is on holiday. sunday, the prime minister is on holida . , , ., sunday, the prime minister is on holida . , ., sunday, the prime minister is on holida. , ., ., ., holiday. yes, if you are of a sensitive — holiday. yes, if you are of a sensitive disposition - holiday. yes, if you are of a sensitive disposition there i holiday. yes, if you are of a | sensitive disposition there is actually— sensitive disposition there is actually man boots on display.

9:50 am
the country is in a crisis. these aren�*t normal times. the stories are all about the fact there are no doctors, the cost of living crisis means that people aren�*t going to be able to afford to eat and you�*ve got the prime minister swanning around. it's the prime minister swanning around. it�*s not a good look but i don�*t think he cares. he is in isina is in a massive sulk, he does think hisjob was taken is in a massive sulk, he does think his job was taken away from him unfairly and i suspect he is plotting a comeback. many thanks for your time this morning. that�*s it for the papers this morning — we�*ll be back this evening with tomorrow�*s front pages. goodbye for now. let�*s get a check on the sport this morning with holly hamilton. british heavyweight boxer anthonyjoshua has lost his world—title rematch
9:51 am
against ukrainian fighter oleksandr usyk. joshua pushed usyk all the way, but was defeated on a split decision by the judges after 12 rounds, prompting an emotional reaction. the bout took place in saudi arabia overnight. ade adedoyin is there. a night of high emotions. tears ofjoy for oleksandr usyk, anger and frustration for anthonyjoshua. he threw the champion�*s belt out of the ring before storming out, only to return to vent with a rambling rant, a strange and surreal end to a brilliant bout. so, a disappointing night for anthonyjoshua, in a bout that fell into a similar pattern as the first one. but usyk showed real class, courage, and a champion�*s heart to prevail. it was a cat and mouse affair which came to life in the ninth round. usyk was hurt. joshua piled on the pressure, but the ukrainian weathered the storm and rallied in the next round. from the brink of victory to the edge of defeat, it was now
9:52 am
joshua on the receiving end. a great moment for usyk, who dedicated the victory to his country. speaks ukrainian. translation: ukrainians never give up. _ they always go to the end. they always win. we are going to definitely win, we just need a little more time. emotions were still raw whenjoshua attended the press conference. it's really, really hard for me to say i'm proud of myself. um, i don't feel anything. i'm just... well, i'm upset, really, like — deep down in my heart. oh, man. sighs. applause.
9:53 am
up next for usyk could be a unification bout against tyson fury. as forjoshua, it�*s back to the drawing board. ade adedoyin, bbc news, jeddah. it�*s the final day of the european championships, with plenty of medals to be decided but it was another golden day yesterday for the british athletes. and a first major outdoor title for keely hogkinson in the 800 metres, finally getting that gold to add to her olympic, world and commonwealth games silver. britain�*s other gold was delivered by matthew hudson—smith, charles dobson, lewis davey and alex haydock—wilson in the men�*s 4 by 400 metres relay. it was hudson smith�*s second gold of the championships after he claimed the individual title with haydock—wilson getting the bronze. we are back! this isn�*t it, this is the beginning of a comeback and honestly, this whole team, what�*s
9:54 am
special about us is everyone has got a story. we all believe in each other, we�*ve been glued to each other, we�*ve been glued to each other all week, other, we�*ve been glued to each otherall week, because other, we�*ve been glued to each other all week, because we want to be. we love each other, man, honestly. after a medal laden commonwealth games, jake jarman, joe fraser, courtney tulloch, giarnni regini moran and james hall took a stunning team gold in the gymnastics at the european championships. it was a huge winning margin too with fraser impressing on parallel bars and jarman on floor and vault before finishing off in style on the high bar. it�*s ten years since gb won this team event. lois toulson and andrea spendolini—sirieix have picked up their second gold medals at the european aquatics championships in rome. the duo took top spot in the women�*s synchronised ten metre platform final ahead of ukraine and germany. spendolini—sirieix also won the individual ten metre platform title, toulson the mixed syncho event. this time last season arsenal hadn�*t won a single match —
9:55 am
what a difference 12 months makes, they�*ve already got three wins from three games. captain martin odegaard scored twice as they won 3—0 at bournemouth — nicking the ball off team—mate gabrieljesus to grab his second. french defender william saliba made it three in the second half, not a bad way to score your first goal in english football. arsenal top the early premier league table at least for now — manchester city will move above them if they win by two goals at newcastle later on. a dramatic match in the scottish premiership saw nine—man rangers drop points for the first time this season as they drew 2—2 at hibs. rangers were 2—1 up but had john lundstrum sent off and then alfredo morelos, for the seventh time in his rangers career. hibs equalised in the third minute of stoppage time as josh campbell struck. a point for rangers means they go top of the table for now, but celtic can overtake them
9:56 am
if they beat hearts later. british number one cameron norrie�*s run in cincinnati is over at the semifinal stage, after he lost to croat borna coric. in a rain delayed match, coric eased past the ninth seed injust over 90 minutes, 6—3, 6—4, to set up a meeting with stefanos tsitsipas in the final. that�*s all the sport for now. let�*s close with a recap of our top story. it comes from somalia, where security forces say they�*re searching a hotel in the capital mogadishu for explosives after ending a 30—hour siege by islamist militants. at least 13 people died at the hyatt hotel during the attack but officials warn that number could rise further. al shabaab militants stormed the building on friday. we�*ll have more on that
9:57 am
