sport _ now time to cross tol sarah with the sport. departing coach kristian woolf says his st helens' side are the best team of the superleague era. they beat leeds rhinos by 2a points to 12 to make it a record four grand final titles in a row. watching at old trafford for us was adam wild. the walk to old trafford one of rugby league's most prized journeys. leeds' fans perhaps hadn't expected to get here this year. st helens' fans — well, they expect nothing less. three titles in three years — lifting trophies, they've had plenty of practice. and on the greatest stage, the biggest atmosphere experience counts plenty. saints through in an instant. matty lees with the game's opening score. leeds clinging on by theirfingertips. with theirs, saints were pressing further in front. john bennison touching down — control. leeds now desperate for a way back, but with all routes appearing blocked, the story of the first half ending with a twist. the fightback? well, there is a reason why saints have dominated for so long.
9:32 am
here was their show of strength. konrad hurell once a leeds player, offering a painful reminder of what they'd missed. no side has ever before won four back—to—back grand finals. when mark perceval touched down, yet another trophy lift was just a matter of time. the best team once again and perhaps now the best team this competition adam wild, bbc news, at old trafford. there was a big night of boxing in manchester where britain's joe joyce claimed the wbo interim heavyweight title last night with a thrilling knockout victory over new zealand's joseph parker. it was a step up in class forjoyce, but in a fight that ebbed and flowed he eventually produced a stunning left hook in the 11th round to seal the biggest win
9:33 am
of his career. the 37—year—old only turned pro when he was 31 — and now has his eyes set on challenging heavyweight champion oleksandr usyk next year. now i get the credit i deserve from this fight. the elite level, there is no argument. so i am happy, yeah. i enjoyed the fight and got the win. got the highlight knockout. scotland are a step closer to being promoted to the top tier of the nations league after they came from behind to beat ireland at hampden park. ryan christie's penalty eight minutes from time ensured a 2—1 win. as long as scotland don't lose to ukraine on tuesday night they'll win their group. and it's taken 15 games, but northern ireland finally have their first nations league victory. josh maguinness scored the winner in injury time, giving them a 2—1 win over kosovo. series with the non—striker run out
9:34 am
by the bowler after england had threatened a surprising win. the hosts staged a remarkable recovery from 118 for 9 and were within 17 runs of victory when this happened. deepti sharma ran out charlie dean at the non strikers end as she was backing up and the so called �*mankad' gave them the win by 16 runs. it's within the laws of the game, but will no doubt leave a sour taste with england. ducati's jack miller claimed his first moto gp win of the season with a blistering display at the japanese grand prix this morning. australian miller finished ahead of red bull ktm's brad binder, who snatched just second place. despite finishing eighth frenchman fabio quartararo extended his championship lead to 18 points with four races remaining. belgian cyclist remco

evenepoel continued his magnificent season with a solo breakaway to win the world road race title in the australian coastal city of wollongong. it means evenepoel has added the rainbowjersey to his triumph in one of the grand tours, the vuelta, earlier this month. that's all the sport for now. hello and welcome to our look at what the papers are saying today. with me isjonathan walker, deputy political editor of the sunday express, and broadcaster and psychotherapist lucy beresford. a good morning to both of you. today's front pages, starting with... the observer leads with keir starmer�*s �*green growth plan', which he says will �*boostjobs and slash emissions'. �*you ain't seen nothing yet�* reads the front of the sunday express —
9:36 am
as the chancellor kwasi kwarteng says the tax cuts announced in his mini—budget are �*just the start�*. the sunday telegraph also leads with continuing conservative tax cuts, as it reports the prime minister plans to cut taxes again in the new year. the independent shows a photo of women protesting in iran following the death of mahsa amini in iran. harry rednapp and his wife sandra are on the front of the sunday mirror — talking about her struggle with coronavirus — describing it as �*covid hell'. the sun leads with the news that prince harry is trying to make last minute changes to his memoir following the queen's death. and the sunday times has a photo of roger federer and rafael nadal holding hands after their doubles defeat on friday — which was federer�*s final professional match. and very emotionalfor and very emotional for both of them. good morning and welcome to both of you. starting with the observer newspaper, but let me firstjust update our viewers on some lines coming from the labour party
9:37 am
conference, sir keir starmer giving his reaction to cutting the top rate of income tax, he said he would reintroduce that at 45% but it will support government plans to reduce the basic rate of income tax at 19%. lucy, what do you make of the story here? and the green growth plans by labour to counter tax cuts? keir starmer was _ labour to counter tax cuts? lie: " starmer was obviously going labour to counter tax cuts? iie: " starmer was obviously going to need to have quite an eye—catching policy to have quite an eye—catching policy to counter attack the incredible amount of coverage that the so—called mini budget got on friday. and perhaps green energy was the low hanging fruit for him. i don't know how much meat on the bones there is on the inside of the paper spot what he is basically saying is he is going to aim to have zero carbon fuel for the nation by 2030. and
9:38 am
thatis fuel for the nation by 2030. and that is quite an interesting announcement, not least because the government �*s own argument was they could probably do that by 2035, they certainly get to 95% zero carbon by 2030 so you could argue it's not a massive shift from current government thinking but at the same time, how is this going to happen in such a short space of time? it takes an awful lot of time to build nuclear power stations. i think i'm right in saying when labour were in powerfor right in saying when labour were in power for over a right in saying when labour were in powerfor over a decade i don't think they built a single nuclear power station so what keir starmer is promoting here, maybe some would describe it as we shall briefing, but what he is promoting sounds very exciting but i don't know how doable it will be. , ., ., ., , , .,~ it will be. jonathan, is he staking the preperties — it will be. jonathan, is he staking the properties fortunes _ it will be. jonathan, is he staking the properties fortunes on - it will be. jonathan, is he staking the properties fortunes on this? |
9:39 am
the properties fortunes on this? it's quite a clever announcement because — it's quite a clever announcement because green energy brings a lot of benefits, _ because green energy brings a lot of benefits, at the moment the big issue _ benefits, at the moment the big issue for— benefits, at the moment the big issue for us is energy bills and producing _ issue for us is energy bills and producing more power at home and it also means_ producing more power at home and it also means we are less dependent on sort of— also means we are less dependent on sort of dictators and russia doesn't sell that— sort of dictators and russia doesn't sell that much energy directly to us but it_ sell that much energy directly to us but it affects a global energy market — but it affects a global energy market which in turn affects us so it gives _ market which in turn affects us so it gives us — market which in turn affects us so it gives us a — market which in turn affects us so it gives us a degree of energy security— it gives us a degree of energy security and also it creates a lot ofiobs — security and also it creates a lot ofjobs because wind power and solar power. _ ofjobs because wind power and solar power. it_ ofjobs because wind power and solar power, it allows us to build things and manufacture things, teesside in particular— and manufacture things, teesside in particular on the north—east, has a bil particular on the north—east, has a big industry— particular on the north—east, has a big industry in the red bull seats which _ big industry in the red bull seats which labour needs to gain so there is a lot_ which labour needs to gain so there is a lot of— which labour needs to gain so there is a lot of benefits to labour in putting — is a lot of benefits to labour in putting forward this policy and keir starmer— putting forward this policy and keir starmer knows he needs to respond to the budget— starmer knows he needs to respond to the budget announcements. i think the budget announcements. i think the difficulty is it's not entirely
9:40 am
new, _ the difficulty is it's not entirely new. as — the difficulty is it's not entirely new, as we have heard. the government talks about promoting green _ government talks about promoting green energy and in fact we've heard lahour— green energy and in fact we've heard labour governments going all the way back to _ labour governments going all the way back to gordon brown and tony blair promising _ back to gordon brown and tony blair promising a — back to gordon brown and tony blair promising a green industrial revolution and so on. it is a smart policy— revolution and so on. it is a smart policy but — revolution and so on. it is a smart policy but i — revolution and so on. it is a smart policy but i am not sure people will think— policy but i am not sure people will think it _ policy but i am not sure people will think it is _ policy but i am not sure people will think it is something new they haven't— think it is something new they haven't heard before but it gives him something interesting to say at the party— him something interesting to say at the party conference which starts in liverpoot— the party conference which starts in liverpool today.— the party conference which starts in liverpool today. lucy, how important is it for labour— liverpool today. lucy, how important is it for labour to _ liverpool today. lucy, how important is it for labour to seize _ liverpool today. lucy, how important is it for labour to seize this _ is it for labour to seize this opportunity is there is a huge backlash in many sectors of society against government tax cuts announced on friday? it’s against government tax cuts announced on friday? it's very important _ announced on friday? it's very important because _ announced on friday? it's very important because politics - announced on friday? it's very important because politics in l important because politics in general is about the stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves, our lives and about our ambitions and also the stories we tell each other so each party has to happen incredibly clear and coherent narrative in order for people to get behind it because not everybody is
9:41 am
obsessed with politics. they are only really actually interested in how policies will reflect on them and their families so how policies will reflect on them and theirfamilies so if how policies will reflect on them and their families so if parties can actually come up with really clear messaging around perhaps a couple of big hitting topics, that can really carry them through and that is why party conferences are so important because they are almost a once in a year opportunity for parties to set out their stall in clear ways but the problem you have is if your party conference happens within 48 hours of a different party announcing policies which are so dramatic and that they soak up all the oxygen in the room, you have actually got to be really fleet of foot to get your policies across and therefore as jonathan foot to get your policies across and therefore asjonathan said, may be to go for something, i called it low hanging fruit, to go for something clear in terms of reaching out to that part of the electorate interested in green issues, that is
9:42 am
probably the way forward for this party conferences and in general. moving to the sunday telegraph, the headline... liz truss plans to cut taxes again in the new year, perhaps trying to appeal to the more squeezed middle? indie trying to appeal to the more squeezed middle? trying to appeal to the more saueezed middle? ~ . ., , ~ squeezed middle? we heard last week a really dramatic _ squeezed middle? we heard last week a really dramatic budget. _ squeezed middle? we heard last week a really dramatic budget. it _ squeezed middle? we heard last week a really dramatic budget. it was - a really dramatic budget. it was initially— a really dramatic budget. it was initially billed as a mini budget but there were huge tax cuts in it. a theme _ but there were huge tax cuts in it. a theme in — but there were huge tax cuts in it. a theme in another of the papers is it isiust _ a theme in another of the papers is it isiust the — a theme in another of the papers is it isjust the start a theme in another of the papers is it is just the start and a theme in another of the papers is it isjust the start and the government plans to do more. the telegraph— government plans to do more. the telegraph says there will be another budget— telegraph says there will be another budget in— telegraph says there will be another budget in the new year. which will include _ budget in the new year. which will include further reductions in income tax and _ include further reductions in income tax and discounts for savers and child _ tax and discounts for savers and child benefit claimants and i think the government is trying to do a couple _ the government is trying to do a couple of— the government is trying to do a couple of things, to appeal to the squeezed — couple of things, to appeal to the squeezed middle and working people who pay— squeezed middle and working people who pay taxes and feel the government, successive governments, and the _ government, successive governments, and the government focusing on the poor~ _ and the government focusing on the pm they— and the government focusing on the poor. they focused on the rich and

squeezing — poor. they focused on the rich and squeezing the rich and trying to get money— squeezing the rich and trying to get money out of them but those people in the _ money out of them but those people in the middle can sometimes feel ignored _ in the middle can sometimes feel ignored and the other big thing from the government is trying to promote growth _ the government is trying to promote growth and — the government is trying to promote growth and less truss thanks tax cuts will— growth and less truss thanks tax cuts will help to do that. it's not the only— cuts will help to do that. it's not the only measure but it's one thing they think— the only measure but it's one thing they think will help. one very interesting line in the piece, it suggests— interesting line in the piece, it suggests conservative mps could vote against _ suggests conservative mps could vote against the finance bill connected to the _ against the finance bill connected to the budget, which would be quite a dramatic— to the budget, which would be quite a dramatic impact if that were to happen— a dramatic impact if that were to happen and i think the government would _ happen and i think the government would he _ happen and i think the government would be forced to take severe action— would be forced to take severe action to — would be forced to take severe action to restrict mps who did that but if— action to restrict mps who did that but if that— action to restrict mps who did that but if that comes true, it could lead _ but if that comes true, it could lead to— but if that comes true, it could lead to another drama at westminster.— lead to another drama at westminster. . , , . ,, , lead to another drama at westminster. , , , ., westminster. lucy, picking up on that, it westminster. lucy, picking up on that. it says _ westminster. lucy, picking up on that, it says some _ westminster. lucy, picking up on that, it says some tory _ westminster. lucy, picking up on that, it says some tory mps - westminster. lucy, picking up on that, it says some tory mps are l that, it says some tory mps are concerned about the pound falling against the dollar on friday and if it goes below a dollar in value, they are going to react to that. it's going to be if you are quite widely held, a fear quite widely
9:44 am

9:45 am
and the weight that it's raised in this article is that it's talking about well—paid nurses, doctors and people in the public sector who do earn good salaries but who are dis— incentivised from working for longer because they have a cap on their pensions of this article is suggesting that is another policy that might be introduced in this potential new year budget but it's framed not as being about bankers and people who work in the financial sector but it's actually looking at people within this country who do earn a decent salary but they themselves are also being dis— incentivised from working longer. so it's looking at it in the round and saying maybe it's not a bad thing some of these policies were put into the mini budget.— the mini budget. moving on to the sunday express. — the mini budget. moving on to the sunday express, you _ the mini budget. moving on to the sunday express, you ain't - the mini budget. moving on to the sunday express, you ain't seen - sunday express, you ain't seen nothing yet, more detail about what is to come in the new year? there

9:48 am
are worried about that turning off voters? i are worried about that turning off voters? .. , are worried about that turning off voters? ~' , ., ._ , are worried about that turning off voters? ~' , ., , ~ voters? i think they always knew the had voters? i think they always knew they had a _ voters? i think they always knew they had a particular _ voters? i think they always knew they had a particular vision - voters? i think they always knew they had a particular vision and l they had a particular vision and they had a particular vision and they wanted to get it across and liz truss herself during the conservative leadership hustings said i don't mind being unpopular. so there was some sense in which rewriting some of this narrative around what it means to be a true conservative might come with a bit of push back. i think what the article on the front page of the independent is drawing attention to is a concern that who is this budget going to be helping and who will benefit, which areas, which parts of the country will benefit from some of these ideas? the idea of low investment zones, i'm sorry, investment zones, i'm sorry, investment zones, i'm sorry, investment zones, is regarded as something that could potentially help places all around the country so this is a reminder to liz truss and kwasi karteng to not focus
9:49 am
solely on parts of the country that are already perhaps benefiting from other aspects of the budget. but my reading around the subject suggests there are already places like the tees valley, the west midlands, the west of the country, that are going to be potentially identified as places to have these investment zones which will attract low taxation, liberalised planning reform. it will be very good news for other parts of the country. this is just a reminder to the prime minister and chancellor to say make sure other parts of the country benefit from the budget. moving away from the budget. _ benefit from the budget. moving away from the budget. looking _ benefit from the budget. moving away from the budget. looking at _ benefit from the budget. moving away from the budget. looking at the - from the budget. looking at the situation in iran. there is an interesting article by nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe giving her reaction to the death of the 22—year—old woman, mahsa amini, when she was taken by the morality police

9:52 am
own article is in iran, they actually closed down the internet and they stopped message sharing services like whatsapp so here in the west, we have heard an awful lot about what is going on but it has been harder in iran for information to be shared and for people to come together. so it's even more impressive and inspiring that as many people have come out and shared videos of women burning their hijab or cutting their hair and there is a really powerful line in the article were nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe says if you stop a generation of women from running then they give birth to girls with wings, she's saying it is the younger generation who really are taking this fight to the regime itself, that they could be the ones that really seek to bring about regime change but we have to recognise the authorities there are very keen to keep the nation in the

dark. if you know anybody who kind of keeps you in the door, it's because they are trying to control you and stop you having the light on this article is almost a wake—up call, a reminder thatjust because we know about it doesn't mean that it is easier for people in we know about it doesn't mean that it is easierfor people in iran to make that change because the regime is really clamping down at the moment on information getting out from within the country.— from within the country. moving on to the sunday _ from within the country. moving on to the sunday times, _ from within the country. moving on to the sunday times, interesting i to the sunday times, interesting article, plans for more migrants to boost growth which is apparently beating some resistance from cabinet brexiteers? tell us more, jonathan. it's an interesting take on government plans to grow the economy. fora government plans to grow the economy. for a long time a lot of people _ economy. for a long time a lot of people said — economy. for a long time a lot of people said immigration is good for the uk _ people said immigration is good for the uk for— people said immigration is good for the uk for a people said immigration is good for the uk fora number of people said immigration is good for the uk for a number of reasons but partly— the uk for a number of reasons but partly because it benefits the economy and boost economic growth. it economy and boost economic growth. it seems _ economy and boost economic growth. it seems this is a view liz truss

feels it will be incredibly insensitive but we have to recognise he is much closer emotionally to the person who is on the throne, it is no longer his grandmother but actually his father. and maybe his father has had a conversation with him and said that but you are writing, what it says about us, you might want to revisit that in terms of how this relationship plays out going forward. there is a report in the sunday times from the royal correspondent that king charles has not yet made up its mind about whether to give titles to archie and lilla bet, maybe there will be a little bit of horse trading going on within the family about this but for sure, i can imagine that harry has maybe had to think about that book that he has been writing. interesting to see how it plays out but lucy and jonathan, thank you for taking us through the papers and have a great rest of your day. that is it from our look at the papers. thank you for watching.

hello there. it was a beautiful start for early risers out there today, but yes, it was on the chilly side. in fact, temperatures quite widely across the country dipping down to low single figures. it was glorious, a lot of sunshine, but quickly we had a veil of high cloud. this weather watcher picture from oxfordshire just illustrates the point quite beautifully. as we go through the day today, though, england and wales will continue to see some cloud, but sunny spells and quite a quiet story. a few scattered showers across northern ireland, western scotland and then a weather front gradually arriving to the north—west of the great glen, with the winds strengthening to gale force. here a little cooler, 13 or 14 degrees, but with that sunshine we should see temperatures widely between 16 and 18 celsius. the winds will be quite a feature over the next few days, a westerly at the moment, but as the weather front continues to descend its way steadily southwards, they are going to change to more of a northerly,

and that is going to drive in plenty of showers across scotland and northern ireland overnight. our weather front takes some welcome rain south. with the cloud and rain around, and the winds, temperatures will hold up into double figures quite widely. so, early morning rain easing away, but it is going to be a windier and colder story as we move into monday. that northerly flow driving that cool air further south across the country. so certainly on monday some early rain easing away from the south coast, and then sunny spells and scattered showers, but a blustery wind will drive those showers through at quite a pace, but it is going to make it feel really on the cool side. gusts of wind in excess of 40 or 50 mph on exposed west—facing coasts, so that's going to have an impact. here are the temperatures on the thermometer, 8—10 degrees if we are lucky in scotland, maybe as high as 16 somewhere in the south—east. as we move out of monday into tuesday, the winds

will fall a little lighter, still coming in from the north and still driving in some showers. some of these could be heavy with the odd rumble of thunder potentially as well on tuesday, so again those temperatures struggling, around 10—14. maybe in the south—west we'll see highs of 16 celsius. it stays cooler with further showers to come as we go through the remainder of the week. take care.
