3:41 pm
become the new prime minister and that's where the problem -- the riskiest capsule boris johnson because he's agenda to push one no deal is very very popular with conservative because member. it is not popular with mps in the house of commons. and so you could end up with a very old situation in which you hobbs this new elected. the leader of the tory party the cops would not be able to get a majority support in the house of commons you only need a few conservative mps you only need. a few mp stops for good -- northern irish do you p. who doesn't want to know do you. and boris johnson could cops not be confirmed and that would. of course mean that to some a wood st prime minister for possible longer that we might end up with a general election or even a second referendum. and finally the just take it back to to reza may real quick you know did childhood friends of hers have said that you know this was her dreams and she was young. to become prime minister that she's been very ambitious but it
3:42 pm

ran across the table now for a look at what's making buzz online on social media and the james here with media watch. i guess no surprise at the women's world cup is really getting a lot of attention on social media but you're looking at the battle against sexism and how that's being talked about. yes it is interesting to see whether this is a bottle is being one in a post me to the area. and is there a level playing field for female football as well this call to you -- set me seems to think that that is -- you play like a girl says the bomber and a gentleman in the crowd as saying remember when that was an insult but the interesting thing tonight with this -- one it's done by a judge who called mike thompson and it was actually drool in nineteen ninety nine and when the us was about to host its first women's world cup. and i'm i'm not sure -- at that we've removed on all that file i don't think that so we've moved on from saying you play like a girl as though it's an insult. and some of the media here in
3:53 pm
france is taking it all very seriously like keep the big sporting a newspaper. has this as it's from page can we do it again oversee hoping that the women can replicate what the mendez and will we can be double champions of the world in football. and but they give with one hand and take with the other i think it's fair to say this is the cover. of that magazine which is out this weekend atomic blonde it says in this woman isn't actually a football and she's just an agent -- but she's physically -- hough dressed -- i'm not sure why the blouses unbuttoned quite say language he's sporting a pair of leather trousers. and it does make you a little suspicious about trying to pound a to male readers over the paper by. putting a blonde on the front cover who they think is the house more attractive than the football is themselves and because it should be the football is who the stars of the show right now. and look how they feel has a considerably more out positive headline here but note that these -- it's a quote from a former class a. perhaps
3:54 pm
unsurprising it's no an editorial team that's come up with this line. up. female football women's footbal. is not a sub category she says i but there are lots of people really trying to push back against sexism against the cliches and stereotypes -- one of the sponsors of the england women's team has actually re jig at the three lions very popular song and that is sung on the terraces and has been for many years now. it's now the three line *-*- and they haven't done the whole soul which is a bit disappointing that just on the talking that at the beginning but it's still quite. emotive i think it's fair to say take a look at this. so. all those. thank you down through the ages [inaudible] we still [inaudible] see see. and it's not just england's taking a strong stance on sexism
3:55 pm
the german team at taking a very ballsy stop think it's fair to say. that we don't have pools but we know how to use them -- is one of the words in a video that they've released it's gone viral millions of people have watched at it's a really interesting what they talk about the fact that no one in the country even knows the names. of the when they first started winning tournaments that that fast actual price was a tea set would you believe -- say incredible really the kind of sexism the guys on they took about buckling sexism all of the time. i'm saying that in women not just that have babies with after school goals all make up as much all high heels of footloose with stops in. and the men's team have joined in to you with this video but i'm not sure that it gets quite the right message because they appear to be making breakfast. which kind of implies that it would be the women doing it if i knew that one bit like the world's halogen roles for healing. right now exactly which is a bit of a cliche it's not however as far as the german stones back in
3:56 pm
twenty eleven west and then this all of the german scored. decided to pose for playboy and they said they were trying to challenge the cliche the female was a *-*- i hardly think that that's really the most important message to get out that. but it is interesting to see that now that the tournament underway lots of people talking about it at this woman saying definitely a record attendance in here for women's football in france tonight. and it's the french male team are watching to currently from that base and tacky so it's good to see that they are supporting it. i was -- lots of male football fans this guy saying i don't want to come across as condescending bus he said it was an excellent fast ha fronts technically very good no diving abusing officials. acting except truck fuel pool and good to watch and that's the message that we see coming through a lot of people very pleased to say. no dissent no diving says this a twist the user a refreshing world class. and it is that i did at the women's game hasn't fallen
3:57 pm
victim to that kind of player acting. at that we see so much in the men's game a lot of people seem very happy with that nice to see the women's world cup. being talked about with more deaths also and very important message for young girls in the next generation coming up and i think so much for that. and we're going to take a quick
