On borisjohnson to end the Dementia Care funding scandal, according to the mirror. The express leads with the same story, saying Barbara Winsor has written a letter demanding Prime Minister borisjohnson acts now to solve the dementia crisis. And the suns front page features a Mothers Campaign for the nhs to allow her five year old daughter who has a burst blood vessel in her brain to be treated abroad. Lets begin with a look at the telegraph, henry, and brussels expects no deal. And if the idea of thejohnson expects no deal. And if the idea of the Johnson Administration was expects no deal. And if the idea of theJohnson Administration was to convince the eu that no deal was a very real possibility, maybe this is evidence it has succeeded. Absolutely. One of the queue behind the scenes decisions borisjohnson took as soon as he entered downing street was to get rid of olly robbins, who had been theresa mays main adviser on europe, but also the main adviser on europe, but also the main negotiator between the eu and the uk for the last three years. He has replaced him with a man called david frost, who went out to his first meetings in the eu last week, and basically eu officials went back and basically eu officials went back and told the member states, it is really going to be no deal. The fascinating thing about this as it might be a bluff, it might not be. But the key thing to successful blushes that by definition, it looks no different from the uk actually pursuing no deal. A successful bluff is that by definition. So either way, it is effectively working. And a bluff that could become reality, if it is a bluff. Exactly. As henry said, this is the sole purpose of borisjohnson, to come in, and he has been so focused on no deal brexit from the start. He kind of paid lip service to the idea that he might be able to negotiate will stop but really, he has got rid ofa will stop but really, he has got rid of a lot of people who are not on board for a no deal brexit. And all of the rhetoric is heading for this, and we are running out of time effectively. Whatever machinations are going on in parliament, no deal remains the default legal option. Interesting in some of these stories, Dominic Cummings, a central figure in the leave campaign, at the forefront of what is going on in downing street at the moment. Yeah, he isa downing street at the moment. Yeah, he is a fascinating figure. A great photograph from a borisjohnsons first day in the number ten, eve ryo ne first day in the number ten, everyone was lined up to welcoming him in his smart suits, and there is Dominic Cummings in the corner in his t shirt, on his phone. He is a kind of machiavellian figure in the background, an intriguing character, because as you said, he led the vote leave, used to vote for michael gove, body claims to have never been a member of political party. The coming out him a kind of fascinating. He reportedly called this meeting at 7. 55 am with special advisers, a very specific meeting. Not 8. 00 no, 7. 5, advisers, a very specific meeting. Not 8. 00 no, 7. 55, which is enough to put the fear of god into people. So this is interesting about the Power Dynamics in the new regime. Whether it is Dominic Cummings doing or not, it is worth reflecting on how totally Boris Johnson doing or not, it is worth reflecting on how totally borisjohnson has defied conventional expectations about what he should have done, what he would do when he entered downing street. Everyone expected him to reach out to jeremy hunt supporters and his cabinet, but absolutely not. Big hard brexiteers and all the key job. People expected him to go on a tour of european capitals like toulouse and acted. He has not even met a fellow eu leader it, he has not spoken to many of them on the phone. He has subverted expectations, defying peoples expectations, defying peoples expectations as this figure from vote leave. But no, absolutely, this is the vote leave labour, one clear message people can understand. Henry, your story on the front page of the times, which is got your byline on it, borisjohnson would refuse to resign even if you lost a vote of no confidence so that he could force through a no deal. Quite technical, but really important. Yet another example of brexit bringing pretty niche constitutional conventions which most people quite blissfully, and normally, have been unaware of, really to the fore of british politics. So there is an expectations after mps come back to the house of commons in early september, Jeremy Corbyn will table a motion of no confidence in the government. It is quite possible, although it would need the votes of although it would need the votes of a few conservatives, to pass. If it passes, the government falls. But then there is this entirely peculiar of porting 14 then there is this entirely peculiar of porting 14 day then there is this entirely peculiar of porting 14 day period, which has never happened because the rules changed a few years ago, basically anyone can try to form a government. And as long as that potential Prime Ministercan win the and as long as that potential Prime Minister can win the support of the majority of mps, which Boris Johnson would not have been able to do a few days before, they get to become Prime Minister. Or so we thought. What borisjohnsons Prime Minister. Or so we thought. What Boris Johnsons team are discussing is a plan under which, evenif discussing is a plan under which, even if some putative Prime Minister, be it jeremy even if some putative Prime Minister, be itJeremy Corbyn or some Prime Minister of a cross Party Government of national unity, even if they, it was clear, could command a majority in the house of commons, borisjohnson would a majority in the house of commons, Boris Johnson would simply refuse to resign. And the truth is, the queen cannot eject the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has to offer their resignation. I think the last time the queen got rid of the Prime Minister was the queen got rid of the Prime Ministerwas in the queen got rid of the Prime Minister was in the early 19th century. So Boris Johnson minister was in the early 19th century. So borisjohnson will not allow them to become a Prime Minister, and instead call a general election, taking place after the sist election, taking place after the 31st of october and we will leave the eu without a deal first. And a deal, nicola, is that proceeding is a possibility . Is there any chance you can see of theJohnson Administration and doing a deal with the eu . Or the eu doing a deal with britain . My thoughts since Boris Johnson came to power were the idea that the theresa may deal is the deal, effectively. There is very little that can change, because the backstop, or something which does the same thing as the backstop, has to be in place, and my theory was that he would come back with an addendum or or something in his kind of boris way, would manage to say, this is new. But as you say, he has not shown any indication of reaching out as he would need to do in order to get the political world to accept that minor change. Instead, he is going hell for leather for a that minor change. Instead, he is going hell for leatherfor a no deal brexit. Lets move on to what is happening in america, dreadful events, more dreadful Mass Shootings. And the mirror, your paper, nicola, has an interesting map, actually, just showing all of the us gun deaths in 2019. Culminating in what we saw over the weekend. El paso, where some people are saying that the president s inflammatory rhetoric may have contributed to what happened there. Yes, well, ithink contributed to what happened there. Yes, well, i think better of work, the democratic candidate, was actually very frank beto orourke, recently laid the blame partially at the president s dor for his inflammatory remarks. He frequently uses quite powerful language on twitter. The president s door. Quite conflating issues to do with immigration and crime. He was seen laughing at a rally recently when there was a joke made about shooting mexicans. And then this man comes along and is suspected of murdering. I think the telly has gone up to 21, possibly higher. The tally will stop and at least seven of them are mexican. He is somebody they believe has posted a kind of manifesto of what he believes in. And he dropped 600 miles to carry out the shooting. Yeah, this was something that was carefully planned and thought about. 0k, carefully planned and thought about. Ok, lets go on to the guardian, because henry, this is interesting. 0f because henry, this is interesting. Of course, the threat from iran, to british and other tankers, oil tankers, and now the royal navy is joining a golf mission with the United States. But this was not really on the agenda under theresa may. One of the really interesting things about this is, aside from brexit, it is a tangible policy shift between the Theresa May Administration and Boris Johnsons. So under theresa may, jeremy hunt, a foreign secretary, took the view that the uk would not join forces with the us to protect oil tankers in the gulf for being seized by iran, which of course happens to a british flag ship not that long ago. The review was livid and would be pa rt of the review was livid and would be part of a force if germany and france were also involved, basically if it was led by europe. Because they thought to be allied with the us might be seen as provocative. Exactly, and ten days into Boris Johnson been Prime Minister and dominic raab being foreign secretary, and the uk hasjoined a bilateral force with the us, exactly contrary to the previous position. Is that the johnson trump contrary to the previous position. Is that thejohnson trump axis, do you think . I dont know, but clearly the uk is willing to be more proactive with the us very soon into borisjohnson been proactive with the us very soon into Boris Johnson been prime proactive with the us very soon into borisjohnson been Prime Minister. Nicola, the telegraph has a story aboutair nicola, the telegraph has a story about air passengers wanting strike compensation. Passengers at heathrow last night demanding compensation. The needlessly rearranged plans because of the unions called off their strike action at the last minute. Yes, i think the difficulty these passengers find themselves in is that they are caught between the two things. They thought the holiday was off, so they made alternative arrangements, and now because of that, the Civil Aviation authority is saying it is unlikely they are entitled to compensation, because the union obviously, and presumably management, quite pleased that there was a deal at the last minute, but it doesnt actually help consumers in this particular case at all. And more possible chaos with ba pilots going on strike. Yes, we still dont know if that will be called off or not. It is a difficult summer for tourists, isnt it . Yes, because also the pound is doing that thing again when it goes down after british politics happens. And it is not unreasonable, i think particularly in this case, it is clearly not unreasonable for passengers thinking their flights to be cancelled, the next day, to make alternative arrangements, and clearly if the rules are not in place that they get compensation for what i think most people would say is pragmatic and prudent action to protect their holiday, then the rules probably need changing. Ok. Nicola, this is interesting, the times of a story about friends, saying that the facebook generation is able to forge more worthwhile social connections based on a choice not approximate, unlike the post war generation. Do you think that is true . I think it is an interesting angle to take. The professor who has carried it out has interviewed hundreds of different people in the post war communities all around the country. What we were talking about just when we were discussing this before is what constitutes the kind of facebook generation . It is actually slightly older than perhaps this article implies. It tends to be people kind of the upper age of their 30s onwards. I think it is interesting talking about choice, because actually may be one of the good things about not choosing specifically your friends is that you are part of the community that is mixed, and you know different people at different stages of their lives, which might inform you as a person or help you and your family, i think choosing your friends might actually cut you off from people who you might get on with really well. Right, lets look at. Well, do we have to . I suppose we do have to. The ashes, pretty disastrous day for englands cricketers. The express have got that on other sports front page, or on their knees. It was a pretty catastrophic day. It was a good day to take place while lots of us were good day to take place while lots of us were at work. Focusing on other things. So you wont watching . Not of my boss is watching but yeah, it is of course just the first test, crucially, england can still say they are world champions. Exactly, when the world cup, that is all that matters. Are you a cricket fan, nicola . Not yet, give it time. And finally, another interesting sports story, wayne rooney coming back to play football at derby county. What is actually quite interesting about thatis is actually quite interesting about that is he is currently playing for dc united in major league soccer, which is pulled away quite a lot of marquee players for not just the uk but other big leagues in recent years. So it is quite telling that despite all that investment in american football clubs, wayne rooney is coming back to the second tier of english football, and that is about as level. Although apparently it is possible to be both apparently it is possible to be both a player and a coach, so it is interesting like people he plead with interesting like people he plead with it interesting like people he plead with it is interesting that he might become a manager like people he played with for england, like Frank Lampard at chelsea and Steven Gerard at rangers. Nicola, you play some football as well. Yes, we have a game coming up in brighton at the labour party conference. Is that 11 a side . As many as we can muster a side, hung over on a sunday morning. Sounds like great fun. Thank you both of you for being here. Thats it for the papers this hour. Nicola and henry will be back at 11. 30 for another look at the papers, and dont forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. Its 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. My thanks to nicola and henry. Goodbye. The month of august can often provide some intense thundery downpours, which is examining what happened sunday night in north yorkshire, 42 millimetres of rainfall recorded in the just one hour. Of rainfall recorded in the just one low of rainfall recorded in the just one pressure in the | the low pressure in the driving seat at the moment, the low setting to the north east, where the most frequent and heavy showers have been. Sunny spells for a favoured few, so a pleasa nt spells for a favoured few, so a pleasant afternoon, and if you have caught the sunshine, it has felt quite warm as well. This has been the study for the last few hours, the study for the last few hours, the thickest cloud bringing some sharp showers through scotland and northern ireland. One or two along western fringes. But in swansea, a bit later on this afternoon, quite clearly a beautiful afternoon for taking a walk on the beach. Into this evening, clear skies which we will keep across much of england and wales, quite quiet. Showers remain to the north and west, some of these could again have the odd rumble of thunder embedded into them. And temperature is perhaps around 11 to 15 celsius. We start off tomorrow with some sunshine with some sunshine first then but feels cold, really, it will not last, because there will be showers out to the west driven along by a fresh south westerly wind, meaning that across england and wales, thundery showers could be here to stay for some time, and they could have some thunder. 17 to 20 celsius in scotland, perhaps the south east we could see 23. Into wednesday, still a chance of further showers, most heavy and widespread once into scotland, with a northerly breeze, so underneath the showers, it will feel disappointing. Some showers through northern ireland, Northern England and north wales as well, but further south, fewer and further between. Likely highs of 23 celsius. The best day of the week looks likely to be thursday. Could be largely dry on thursday, with some sunshine through. But then we will see an area of low pressure developing yet again, which will bring some wet and windy weather on friday gradually pushing further north. So keep abreast of the forecast because it does look as though it will stay pretty u nsettled, though it will stay pretty unsettled, with some sharp intense downpours as we go through the week. This is bbc news. Im ben brown. The headlines at 11pm President Trump condemns hatred and white supremacy, describing the Mass Shootings that left 31 dead in the United States as monstrous evil.
