iain: i think you do.e moment the market is basically discounting a sanders victory and saying trump is going to go ahead. but let's think of what happened with the u.k. as a roadmap. at some point i think the market will have a bit of a whiff that sanders can do a bit better, like the market got with corbyn in the u.k. and suddenly some of those policies might c because a bit of uncertainty. in the near term, i think -- might cause a bit of uncertainty. hopefully they can get stuff counted on time and get an outcome. but as they go through this, i think it will not be as straightforward as a trump victory and it is done. francine: thank you both, james athey and iain stealey. both stay with us. germany's political future is up in the air after the leader of the cdu party announced plans to step down later this year. saysret kramp-karrenbauer she will not run in the next election. crating uncertainty. our guest joins us from berlin. he is also the author of the book on angela merkel. who comes after akk? .

thank you, sir iain duncan smith. the headlines on bbc news...ncluding a child have tested positive for the coronavirus at a ski resort in france. six senior conservatives write to tory mps to raise concerns about the government's decision to allow huawei to help build the uk's 56 network. officials working on borisjohnson's pledge to recruit an extra 20,000 police officers say that they'll actually need to take on more than 50,000 as many are set to leave. women now hold a third of the board positions in the uk's 100 biggest public companies. the figure is up from just 12% a decade ago. but a 6overnment—backed hampton—alexander review, which had set this target, highlighted a lack of women in senior and executive roles. katy austin reports. my name is francesca ecsery. i sit on the boards of several companies, including air france, f&c investment trust. even with francesca's background as a successful business leader, getting her first boardroom position was tough. it's an area where often men still hugely outnumber women. change is painful. the

let's listen to what iain duncan smith has been saying today.dor, as the foreign secretary said, that china is considered to be an aggressor in these matters and consta ntly aggressor in these matters and constantly attacking our systems alongside russia, they claim that russia is an aggressive but won't have anything to do with russian technology, then surely the same principle must apply to china. i think therefore we need to get the government to look to get the involvement of why wait not to 35%, but to zero. is there any mechanism to stop this going ahead? if they were a tory rebellion? it would have to be an enormous one because there is boris johnson's strength at the moment. he has just won an election with a majority of 80. even if the six who joined this letter —— wrote this letter we re joined this letter —— wrote this letter were joined by others who have expressed concern, well—known opponents. rather, the line which has been used about not wanting the fox ina has been used about not wanting the fox in a checking coop, not wanting t

iain watson, our political correspondent, thank you.ore people have tested positive for coronavirus in the uk. it comes as public health officials try to establish how a man from surrey become the first person to contract the disease without travelling abroad. the total number of confirmed cases here in the uk is now 23. meanwhile in italy, over 1,000 people have been infected, and the death toll has risen to 29. the virus — a respiratory disease, which causes pneumonia—like symptoms, has infected more than 85,000 people in 57 countries. and — in the last hour — the first case has been confirmed in the republic of ireland. duncan kennedy reports. this is the health centre in surrey where the man reported feeling unwell. he is now the first person to be infected in the uk without having travelled abroad. as he was taken to hospital, the clinic was closed and cleaned. now reopened, those using it say they are concerned by what has happened. my husband has got a poor immune system and respiratory problems, so perhaps i'm a bit more concern

do you agree with what iain duncan smith has said? yes and no.because britain is a part of the security alliance with australia, canada, new zealand and the united states, that is obviously important security lights for the whole of the western world but i fear the intervention, this letter, is actually too little too late. huawei are embedded in the mobile and fixed networks of this country and the prime minister was my decision, the government was my decision to allow them access to 235% of the five g network is really very pragmatic solution. allow them access to 35%. well i haven't done anything by stealth, they have been in this country for over 15 years operating in the telecoms network so ifear it might operating in the telecoms network so i fear it might be too late. there is the allegation they are addresses, aggressors, cyber warfare, it is not the first time we have had this. a lot of this comes down to the ownership of the company. who actually owns huawei? they call themselves a private company that is owned by the shareholders but t

let's hear now from our golf correspondent iain carter, who explains how the planned premier league wouldr. well, it differs massively in the sense it's going to be an elite structure for just 48 players stop they will be playing, as you say, for massive prize money, potentially 18 tournaments in a year. almost on a model that is used by the formula one grand prix circuit, where they would be travelling around several tournaments in the united states, but all of the world. the other key dynamic to it, 54 hole tournaments, a team element to it as well, which then opens the door for potential tea m then opens the door for potential team franchise owners. and i think thatis team franchise owners. and i think that is something that has really caught the interest of many of the big names at the moment. so it would be radically different from the pga tour model and that also from the european tour. they do think that this could precipitate change any professional golf model. they do think there is a very serious feeling amongst the biggest names that they're the players who are attracting the t

and you have the iain duncan smith, who has gone out to bat for this group, but very sadly, one of thestigation has actually taken his own life, and now we are talking about it being regarded as a witch—hunt stop and i think people are very worried that the government have said that they are going to investigate this and try to make sure that those veterans don't have to be prosecuted, but there is some fear that the legislation could be watered down, perhaps as a sop to sinn fein, who have obviously done much better than expected in the recent ireland election. thank you both very much for going through the papers with me. those are some of the front pages for the sunday papers. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to lucy beresford and martin lipton. and thank you to you for watching. we will see you soon. goodbye.

our political correspondent iain watsonjoins us now from westminster. good morning to you, iain.uld remain lots of people, asking at that time, why was he out ofjail so soon and able to commit an offence ten days after leaving prison? the government's response was to stop the automatic release of prisoners halfway through their sentence. the emergency legislation today will be seen that shouldn't happen until two—thirds through their sentence. but with another important condition that parole boards will have to assess whether they are safe to release. i think this legislation will sail through the house of commons today but there will be challenges perhaps not at westminster, but in the courts. lawyers for around 50 prisoners who will be affected are saying look, it is wrong to retrospectively legislate, in other words to change people's sentences once they are in prison. the government is saying they are only changing the way sentences are administered, stopping automatic early release, but i think that argument will be heard in the courts. legislation has to get to the house of
