bringing us tomorrow. with me are nigel nelson, political editor of people and the sunday mirror and political commentatorjo phillips. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the sunday times leads with the explosion on the only bridge linking russia to the occupied crimean peninsula. the paper says the blast gives ukraine hope and is a serious embarassment for russia. the observer leads on the same story, calling the incident a bitter blow for the russian leader vladimir putin. moving on, the telegraph's lead is a call from the prime minister, liz truss, to her mps unite or face or disaster. the sunday express says the pm is telling her ministers to work together and stop navel gazing. the mail sticks with the political theme with an aide of the prime minister telling michael gove to stop plotting or let in keir starmer. the mirror leads with the death of the serial killer peter tobin

and his ex wife saying she's his death has bought a sense of relief. so let's begin... a warm welcome to our guests nigel and joe, let's start with a sunday times first of all, which has on its front page, the image of the bridge on which there was the explosion there, so if i start with you, joe, first of all, humiliating for putting and it brings hope for ukraine? , ., , , ukraine? yes it does, indeed, this was the bridge _ ukraine? yes it does, indeed, this was the bridge that _ ukraine? yes it does, indeed, this was the bridge that was _ ukraine? yes it does, indeed, this was the bridge that was a - ukraine? yes it does, indeed, this was the bridge that was a symboll was the bridge that was a symbol hated _ was the bridge that was a symbol hated by— was the bridge that was a symbol hated by people in ukraine because it is a _ hated by people in ukraine because it is a symbol of russia's occupation of crimea. it was opened in 2018— occupation of crimea. it was opened in 2018 by— occupation of crimea. it was opened in 2018 by vladimir putin, it was, and a display, i suppose, of ownership — it was, and a display, i suppose, of ownership of — it was, and a display, i suppose, of ownership of crimea. so, yes, as you say, it— ownership of crimea. so, yes, as you say, it is— ownership of crimea. so, yes, as you say. it is very— ownership of crimea. so, yes, as you say, it is very embarrassing for the kremlin _

symbolic victory for ukraine, although the sunday times does seem to suggest there is some confusion about who eggs carry this out, —— who exactly carried this out. ukrainian security services to infighting in the russian army and a spy infighting in the russian army and a spy agency, so that might explain why ukraine has not actually officially claimed responsibly for this. but, certainly, it is demoralising for president putin, demoralising for president putin, demoralising for president putin, demoralising for ordinary russians. what it is showing is something that we didn't really expect when this was started, and that is that ukraine doesn't seem to be winning it. �* ., ., ., ukraine doesn't seem to be winning it. ., ., ,. it. and if we go on to domestic affairs and _ it. and if we go on to domestic affairs and now— it. and if we go on to domestic affairs and now i _ it. and if we go on to domestic affairs and now i look- it. and if we go on to domestic affairs and now i look at - it. and if we go on to domestic affairs and now i look at the i it. and if we go on to domestic- affairs and now i look at the sunday express, with the headline, heads down and charge, it looks at liz truss's strategy to revive the economy as michael ghosh is labelled

a sadist who will put labour into power. jo, if labour do get into power, how much do you think it will be down to michael gove's yachting? none whatsoever. there was a poll in the observer which gives labour over a 20 point lead and liz truss on the lowest ever personal rating for a prime minister. only lower is her chancellor kwasi kwarteng, so, no, if labour were to win an election, it is because people have had enough of this government, and this government, you know, whether it is liz truss, boris johnson, government, you know, whether it is liz truss, borisjohnson, theresa may, or david cameron, has been in powerfor i2 may, or david cameron, has been in powerfor 12 years. what may, or david cameron, has been in power for 12 years. what liz truss is trying to do, according to the express, is trying to reset. parliament goes back next week after the conference season, she has only been prime ministerfor the conference season, she has only been prime minister for little over a month, nigel was in birmingham so

he has a better take on it, i avoided it, but she is saying you've got to stop navel—gazing to her mps, we've got to work together and charge ahead. but i think part of the problem is in her charging ahead, she is not actually listening to people who might be offering wise counsel and that is when you end up with u—turns. counsel and that is when you end up with u-turns-— with u-turns. nigel, ifi move on to the mail new. _ with u-turns. nigel, ifi move on to the mail now, the _ with u-turns. nigel, ifi move on to the mail now, the same _ with u-turns. nigel, ifi move on to the mail now, the same story, - with u-turns. nigel, ifi move on to the mail now, the same story, it. the mail now, the same story, it says sadistic michael gove told stop plots or let in starmer. is michael gove someone who has been referred to as a statistic in any way before? i've heard him called an awful lot of names— i've heard him called an awful lot of names that this is the first time that sadist— of names that this is the first time that sadist has come up, but certainly— that sadist has come up, but certainly he was the leader of the opposition in birmingham, and it is largely— opposition in birmingham, and it is largely thanks to michael gove that the tax _ largely thanks to michael gove that the tax cut for millionaires was abandoned. they could be some good

yes, and this is an exclusive that the independent have on the front page. basically, liz truss was to have more visas to achieve the growth in the areas where there are huge staff shortages, not least of all health, hospitality, agriculture, and so forth. so she's ready wanting to push ahead with more visas to encourage immigrants to come and work here. but suella braverman, the new home secretary, is saying, no, no, no, we want to stop immigration. but business leaders have been told, apparently by number ten, to ignore the home office and lobby other departments, including jacob rees—mogg, the business secretary, or cabinet officer nadhim zahawi, so if you are going to set yourself on a collision course with your home secretary, it doesn't strike a note of unity, does

want to go for growth and stop building, you know, all of those fantastically highly skilled labourers in the construction sector that came over from eastern europe and then disappeared after brexit, you are going to have to be able to entice them to come back. so, i think business would probably welcome it. but, you know, it does send out mixed messages, and i think thatis send out mixed messages, and i think that is part of the problem. i send out mixed messages, and i think that is part of the problem.— that is part of the problem. i want to finally take _ that is part of the problem. i want to finally take a _ that is part of the problem. i want to finally take a look _ that is part of the problem. i want to finally take a look at _ that is part of the problem. i want to finally take a look at another i to finally take a look at another story on the front page of the sunday times, which is it because flash point pits macro to the trust. they quote the head of the national trust, she is accusing liz truss of demonising conservationist. she says we are facing one the biggest threats to nature at my lifetime as she puts that at the door of the prime minister's policies. this is

agricultural land is being built on, built on, built on. what that does to things like the water table, and we have had a terrible drought this year, once you lose that land, you can't get it back because it is built on. to go full steam ahead like a burner china shop actually you need to think longer term, and i think people are much more concerned about the environment, and it is not just nimbyism. you are not going to get this through. the tories lost by—election over proposals to change the planning rules, and gave a fantastic victory to the liberal democrats, i can't say they can just bypass local councils, local people, unless they totally want to destroy themselves. i unless they totally want to destroy themselves-— unless they totally want to destroy themselves. ~' , ., ,., , , themselves. i think we will probably be told about _ themselves. i think we will probably be told about this _ themselves. i think we will probably be told about this issue _ themselves. i think we will probably be told about this issue in _ themselves. i think we will probably be told about this issue in the - be told about this issue in the future again some time, won't we? it won't be going away. thank you so much,j phillips and nigel nelson, thank you both of you. that is it for the papers this hour, goodbye

for the papers this hour, goodbye for now. hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. i'm jane hill. and taking us through this week's releases, as ever is mark kermode. hi, mark. hi. so we have three very different movies — the lost king, the true story of the search for richard iii. we have vengeance, the story of life, the universe and podcasts. and amsterdam, a star—studded new movie from director david 0 russell. so, lost king. the lost king. sally hawkins stars in, honestly, a stranger than fiction tale of philippa langley�*s quest to find and retrieve the remains of king richard iii, famously maligned by history and playwrights like shakespeare,

who she comes to believe, the bones are under a car park in leicester. so the film reunites the team behind philomena, so director stephen frears, writerjeff pope and writer and costar steve coogan, who plays philippa's exjohn. in real life philippa langley felt she was guided to the burial spot and got goosebumps while standing on it by something not quite normal, i suppose. take a look. dramatic music plays music swells
