hello and welcome to viewers in the uk and around the world, as we look at how the uk newspapers are covering the dramatic developments at westminster. we would not normally be seeing this programme as we look at how the uk newspapers are covering the dramatic developments today. that's the reason you are getting a chance to see this discussion between... ..aubrey allegretti, the political correspondent of the guardian, and katy balls the deputy political editor of the spectator. pretty much a centreleft paper. traditionally seen on being on the

centre right. read avidly by conservatives. borisjohnson was once its editor. what we're seeing once its editor. what we're seeing on the front pages. a reflection of the start of... "chaos at the heart of westminster" is the is headline. the metro leads on �*suellavava mess�*, become a very successful paper. the c word is quite common. it shows a group of political figures who have had an important impact on today's events. from suella braverman on the left, and jeremy hunt on the right. the metro leads on �*suellavava mess�*, after the dramatic resignation of the home secretary — with just 43 days in the job. what she sacked? we'll talk about

that. the ft looks at the chaos caused by the resignation, just hours before a vote on fracking in the commons. detailed exposition of the problems that government is now facing. the guardian says the resignation puts truss�* premiership on the brink — again. according to the guardian, the decision of braverman to go and attack the prime minister is undermining herfixture attack the prime minister is undermining her fixture and the times says truss faces more turmoil after attacking her. turns out to have been her first after attacking her. turns out to have been herfirst and last. the daily telegraph, suella braverman walking into downing street passed one of the armed officers. utter

chaosis one of the armed officers. utter chaos is the mirror�*s front page. was once a conservative paper, but many decades ago. it is traditionally a labour supporting paper. it shows the prime minister underfire today. paper. it shows the prime minister under fire today. these are some of the front pages. katy, can you kick us off this time with the rbm? we katy, can you kick us off this time with the rbm?— katy, can you kick us off this time with the rbm? ~ ~ ., ,, ., with the rbm? we know liz truss has been in trouble _ with the rbm? we know liz truss has been in trouble -- _ with the rbm? we know liz truss has been in trouble -- the _ with the rbm? we know liz truss has been in trouble -- the guardian. - with the rbm? we know liz truss has been in trouble -- the guardian. butl been in trouble —— the guardian. but i think, looking ahead today, prime minister�*s questions, it was a crunch moment. liz truss got through that fairly unscathed. there was a sense that she had a few days or weeks to try and win over mps. then weeks to try and win over mps. then we have the situation where the home secretary is reported to be on the way out, and this gives way to many

things. now, when it comes to so well up —— suella braverman, the home secretary left her role because of a security breach. this involved sharing a document of an mp from a personal e—mail account. this is a technical breach as she put it in her resignation letter, and therefore liz truss asked her to go. suella braverman resigned. there is more to this. the two have been having a debate or a disagreement about immigration, and this is about the number ten want to relax immigration for highly skilled. suella braverman resisted this, and in her letter among the various parting shots, one is suella

braverman, a staunch brexiteer, affectively saying that she worried about the direction liz truss�*s government is taking. she also had a line saying that she had desired to resign because of the error, and this was something which all politicians need to do. i think that can also be reticent of the new swipe at liz truss and the problem she�*s facing. swipe at liz truss and the problem she's facing-— she's facing. your name is on that sto , she's facing. your name is on that story. aubrey. — she's facing. your name is on that story. aubrey. so _ she's facing. your name is on that story, aubrey, so we _ she's facing. your name is on that story, aubrey, so we can - she's facing. your name is on that story, aubrey, so we can see - she's facing. your name is on that| story, aubrey, so we can see what you said. let�*s talk about the front of the telegraph. it usually associated with the conservative party. why the red among conservatives. we had a former editor saying on bbc news yesterday that basically there had been a succession of incompetent,

incapable conservative prime ministers. the telegraph is still regularly measured in its coverage. it's regularly measured in its coverage. it�*s certainly not a screaming headline, but there�*s a lot of detail in this article. headline, but there's a lot of detail in this article.- headline, but there's a lot of detail in this article. yes, and i su ose detail in this article. yes, and i sunpose a _ detail in this article. yes, and i sunpose a lot _ detail in this article. yes, and i suppose a lot of _ detail in this article. yes, and i suppose a lot of the _ detail in this article. yes, and i suppose a lot of the fact - detail in this article. yes, and i suppose a lot of the fact is - detail in this article. yes, and i suppose a lot of the fact is the | suppose a lot of the fact is the same across the newspaper. but the interpretation of those in the view along _ interpretation of those in the view along how— interpretation of those in the view along how long liz truss has got left is _ along how long liz truss has got left is very— along how long liz truss has got left is very interesting. you talk about _ left is very interesting. you talk about the — left is very interesting. you talk about the telegraph and its tradition of having the support of liz truss— tradition of having the support of liz truss in— tradition of having the support of liz truss in the leadership. it's interesting to look at that through that prism. in its reporting tonight, _ that prism. in its reporting tonight, it's saying liz truss was left—leaning to cut our —— clinging to powen — left—leaning to cut our —— clinging to power. now, that would be the sort of— to power. now, that would be the sort of straw that broke the camel's back for borisjohnson. sort of straw that broke the camel's back for boris johnson. he sort of straw that broke the camel's back for borisjohnson. he clung on to power— back for borisjohnson. he clung on to power for— back for borisjohnson. he clung on to power for 6—7 months when it felt like every day might be the last day it — like every day might be the last day. it was actually cabinet

means that even her supporters are questioning how long she can remain. i think tonight, it feels like there has been a rationing up of this. lots of mps of the problem of not knowing what comes after liz truss. the situation is so bad, they need to worry what comes next after. i think lots were looking at the contest and saying, is that the best thing we can do? but also, can any candidate current in the unite the tory party? liz truss had lots of problems today, but ultimately, the tory party is pretty unruly. it�*s hard to see any candidate being unified right now. the front page of the mail gives us a different take on the resignation. suella�*s 90 90 minute shouting match. suella's 90 90 minute shouting match. ., ., ,

her chancellor, she brought in one of those who had backed sunak, and now she brought another one in. do the right of the party have some cost to be concerned about whether liz truss can be trusted? i cost to be concerned about whether liz truss can be trusted?— liz truss can be trusted? i think the calculation _ liz truss can be trusted? i think the calculation in _ liz truss can be trusted? i think the calculation in downing - liz truss can be trusted? i think| the calculation in downing street liz truss can be trusted? i think. the calculation in downing street - the calculation in downing street — and you can see it — is effectively the left of the party process at the reader threat right now. i think that�*s because they have more candidates. they�*re just not convinced they�*ll get three figure mps. i convinced they�*ll get three figure mp5. i think that is a calculation. if you start back signing all policies, you wouldn�*t want the right of the party to turn on you. but she�*s in a tricky place right now. i think on grant shapps, what�*s

interesting is he has almost been destabilising liz truss�*s government in recent days. now, if we�*re talking about how long liz truss can stay on, jeremy hunt is incredibly... he�*s holding on as chancellor, were he to call time on liz truss, i think it would be very difficult for her. and now grant shapps is also in a powerful position, and it means all bets are off, and i think those are two figures to watch.— page of the times has a suella braverman making a cheeky thumbs—up when she was speaking. she has been criticised by some of the party who say she�*s too keen on playing to the gallery. herjob requires something a bit more measured and states person like. i

measured and states person like. i think at the tory party conference, we saw a breakdown. penny mordant gave an interview and said benefits should ride. —— rise. you also had to ella braverman doing lots of events and accusing her party of a coup. also, someone flashing their... moving to the right of the party. i think that did cause some annoyance in downing street. i think this idea of bringing in some figures from parts of the party and having a government where liz truss can do plans in terms of... probably would be seen as a plus. the issue is this move has destabilised her government further and is now part of a very chaotic day. so, the end

result she might not make use of... let�*s talk about what happened later in the day when the commons voted on fracking. labour put down a motion tojoin preserve the moratorium, which the conservatives introduced. the mirror, utter chaos, it says. is that a fair distraction? yes, i think you _ is that a fair distraction? yes, i think you would _ is that a fair distraction? yes, i think you would find _ is that a fair distraction? yes, i think you would find very - is that a fair distraction? yes, i think you would find very many| is that a fair distraction? yes, i - think you would find very many mps on any side — think you would find very many mps on any side of the house that disagree _ on any side of the house that disagree with that description. there — disagree with that description. there was a lot of brew heart because _ there was a lot of brew heart because this government tried to iabet— because this government tried to label this— because this government tried to label this vote on fracking, because labour— label this vote on fracking, because labour tav— label this vote on fracking, because labour lay down a motion during a debate _ labour lay down a motion during a debate which was essentially trying

is not what number ten wants to see. the front of two papers left. we�*ve got a great play onwards. we�*ve got the daily star, which is kind of a very popular tabloid, but does play around with its front page is quite imaginatively. it decided to label liz truss as a lettuce because it thinks she�*s so wet. we have lots of place. let us lose, cut to shreds, it says. there is an argument here that when a prime minister is reduced to being a comic figure, they really are on borrowed time. i

very much. this is bbc news. hello. wednesday brought a top temperature of 22 celsius injersey. it was a warm day for some, but a wet day for others. that is all because of this big broad area of low pressure. really the engine room of our weather. it�*s been sucking warm air of from the south, but also throwing proceeds of rain northwards. a soggy start to thursday for many, but a mild start. some of the heaviest rains will be found across the southeast of england, east anglia, the east midlands and the culture and parts of yorkshire. some of that rain likely to get as east wales and parts of the west country. this lump of really heavy rain will work its way northward through the day, essentially hugging this north sea

coast, running into north east england and southeast scotland. some sunny spells developing for whales in the south and west of england. temperatures through south wales, southwest england and the channel islands could well get close to 20 degrees. into the evening, this lump of very heavy rain justjourneys northwards across scotland. it may tend to ease a little as the night wears on as we get into the first part of friday. another swirl of showers pushes in from the southwest. it does feel a little relentless in terms of these weather systems, pushing up from the south, but it will be another mild start to the day. low pressure still in charge for friday, quite a few white lines squeezing together here. when your day on friday around some of these western coats. some spells of sunshine in between. these are the wind gusts. gusting up to around 50

mph for some of these exposed coast. but that wind direction is a warm wind direction, so where you see some sunshine, highs of 21 degrees. into the weekend, this first low will weaken a little, drifting northwards. there�*s another one hot on its heels. in between, this brief range of higher pressure, so something a little drier. i think we can say there will be some drier interludes, but still the chance of some rain at times. bye for now.

welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore. i�*m mariko oi. the headlines. fresh chaos for the british government as the home secretary leaves herjob, with a blistering resignation letter. it�*s a further blow to the prime minister, liz truss, whose premiership was already under threat. i am a fighter and not a quitter. we�*ll have all the latest from westminster. also coming up. gunfire we have a special report from the frontline in ukraine�*s donbas — with russian positions just a few hundred metres away.
