Ive spoken to quite a few scottish fans who arrived here for the match and they said in their hotels, when they were waiting for the typhoon to pass through, they felt there was no chance the match would go ahead. It has been a feat of organisation but that said, fans are advised to get here early because of intentional transport issues and they have been told there is not as much food or drink available because staffing is not as high as it would be normally.

Hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. With me are sian griffiths, education editor at the sunday times. And prashant rao, global editor of the news website the atlantic. Lets take a look at the front pages. The Observer Says support is growing for a second referendum amid fears over Boris Johnsons brexit policy. Meanwhile, the mail on sunday says rebel tory mps are planning to force the Prime Minister to delay brexit even if he wins commons support for a deal. The sunday telegraph has an exclusive article by Jacob Rees Mogg in which the commons leader calls for compromise to help mrjohnson reach a deal. The paper also hails superman Eliud Kipchoge, the first person to run a marathon in under two hours. The sunday times reports that the Prime Minister has given european leaders a stark choice help me get a deal through or britain leaves without one on october 31st. And the sunday express says mrjohnson wants to make britain the greatest nation on earth but he must fend off what the paper says is a last ditch plot to foil brexit. There we are. Lets begin with the sunday times. Sign this deal or let a scone, burris tells the eu. We are reaching the end game . Yes, and most of the papers are leading with a variation on this story today boris. A momentous week in politics and what tim shipman is writing about here is the idea boris will offer eu leaders a historical bargain on brexit to deliver a new deal or there will be a no deal departure by october the 31st. On monday we have the queen speech, with up to 22 bills mentioned. Thursday and friday, there will be an eu summit in brussels and this is the crucial time when boris will have to get his deal through the eu and mp5 will, if the eu back this deal, will then have to look at it and consider whether they are going to back it. All of this intensive negotiation now, through the so called tunnel. Munication with the outside world, they get on with it. What do you think is going on in that tunnel . This is the question. How much compromise can Boris Johnson offer and how much compromise can he get through parliament . We will find out in about a week what is about to happen that thursday to friday, they will be in brussels for the European Council meeting, this has been a balancing act. How much can you give while not giving away too much . Everything is. And it is all around the irish border . There are in million other things three years ago that we did not talk about, we did not talk about it three years ago. This is all things. And they maintain some borderless trade on the island of ireland . Part of the British Customs union and keeping closely aligned with the eu. The good friday agreement. This is 33 dimensional chess intensely complicated. And Jacob Reesmogg issuing an appeal to leavers, to back Boris Johnsons issuing an appeal to leavers, to back borisjohnsons efforts to secure a brexit deal. And warning that compromise will be needed, inevitably. Trying to pave the way for a compromised deal and saying the hardline exit he has will have to bite the bullet . On one hand we have borisjohnson, to bite the bullet . On one hand we have Boris Johnson, in to bite the bullet . On one hand we have borisjohnson, in the sunday times he is trying to convince the eu to back the deal and nowJacob Rees Mogg is telling the brexiteers that they have to back it. There is some concern among brexiteers that borisjohnson has offered a compromise that would see Northern Ireland legally outside of the eu Customs Union but remaining in a close arrangement with brussels. The brexiteers max lowe not like that. Or the dup . They definitely dont. This is on a knife edge and we have sources in the paper saying the chance of the eu agreeing is 50 50. And nigel dodds, the westminster leader insisting Northern Ireland must remain fully part of the Customs Union and borisjohnson knows that. I would say that things arent looking too rosy for this deal right now. It is two things, getting the deal through the negotiations with the eu and getting through the house of commons next weekend even if there is a deal . Theresa may managed to get a deal that would involve some compromise and all of these kinds of things but she could never get through parliament. This is the difficulty that any Prime Minister faces. Even a small clutch of parolee then please a small clutch of mps could block this. And the brexiteers are more likely to back him whatever the deal than theresa may . And Jacob Rees Mogg says this in the sunday telegraph, that as a lever, boris can be trusted. What is the end result you have brought . The end result you have brought . The end result may not be that different from theresa mays but borisjohnson brings some trust with leavers to get it through. And the mail on sunday, entered the tory brexit wreckers. When we thought that nightmare would end, what do you make of this take . This is from all angles. This momentous week in politics has been looked at now. This story that the tory rebels are planning to sabotage borisjohnsons brexit, even if the eu backed the deal, they are saying that they determined that it would not get through parliament and they want the benn act enabled, even if the deal is agreed, they want more time to look at it. And more time to consider it. They are plotting to compel mrjohnson to send a letter to brussels to ask for an extension. And this relates to the language surrounding brexit, the plot, and the militaristic language . And all of the gymnastics everyone gets into, and all of the ideologicals. Philip hammond voted to leave the eu three times. By all reasonable accounts, he is supportive of brexit and has voted in parliament to leave. You may disagree with the terms in which he wanted to leave that to call him a brexit wrecker is an interesting use of terminology. And they are being asked to back something they dont have detail on. They are asked to back it quickly. No time to consider it. I understand why mps want to scrutinise the detail before they are rushed into agreeing something so momentous for the country. And what about all of the country. And what about all of the talk of another referendum, another march next weekend demanding that. Support grows for a new brexit deal over fears that. Support grows for a new brexit deal overfears for a that. Support grows for a new brexit deal over fears for a Prime Minister is planned. Yes, over fears for the Prime Ministers plans. Yes, they are optimistic that they have enough cross Party Support for a second brexit referendum and especially if this deal does not go through. As you say, there is going to bea through. As you say, there is going to be a pro referendum march next weekend. Up to i to be a pro referendum march next weekend. Up to Million People are expected to join this much weekend. Up to Million People are expected tojoin this much but weekend. Up to Million People are expected to join this much but if there is a second referendum, and that goes the opposite way but perhaps by the same sorts of margins, where does it leave everyone . Or even a narrow margin . The second referendum is so complicated a discussion. I understand why people want a second referendum. People should be able to say yes, but so much of the deal hinges on the question of whether it is three options, remain, deal, no deal . Or two options, what are the terms . It is so complicated. And the queen speech tomorrow. Apart from brexit, the rail franchise queen speech tomorrow. Apart from brexit, the railfranchise system is facing the axe, borisjohnson is planning to scrap thebroken rail system, focusing on performance and reliability . This bill is expected to be mentioned in the queen speech on monday. As someone who travels quite regularly, in from hampshire to london, i can vouch for the fact that britains rail system is broken. In my personal experience because the trains are overcrowded . They are often late. This weekend, there have been Engineering Works on there have been Engineering Works on the lines i travel on so you have to catch a bus from woking to get to fleet. They would say theyve got to improve the line. I guess, but if you are a commuter paying a lot of money to travel on the railway it is very frustrating. Local councils in the north of england would get more powers to set specific routes and control fa res powers to set specific routes and control fares and timetables but there is a lot of detail that isnt available as to how this would work. And the sun on sunday. Pictures of rebecca vardy, jamie vardys wife, wiping away tears as she arrived backin wiping away tears as she arrived back in britain after all of those reports of the feud with Wayne Rooneys wife, calin. Youve been following this as the major story of the week. Coleen. Following this as the major story of the week. Coleen. Weve been divided into two camps. Im waiting for more information. You are on the fence . It is dangerous, ithink for more information. You are on the fence . It is dangerous, i think that coleen was careful to say that it was from rebecca vardys account. The sort of thing that coleen really was leaking. Is. It is one of the best stories. And the detective work that coleen did, she has been nicknamed wag atha christe. That coleen did, she has been nicknamed wagatha christe. Yes, it has become a hashtag, she spent months setting up these fake stories on her instagram account, blocking all of her followers, so that it was only rebeccas account following hers. When these fake stories appeared on the tabloid newspapers, she came out and said that it was all coming from her account. She accused her, well, her account, she accused her, well, her account, she accused the account of being responsible and it has gripped the nation. And rebecca vardy, in all of the coverage, she genuinely looks distraught. They have pictures, in contrast with calin rooney, at 4am ata contrast with calin rooney, at 4am at a party. I think that this is incredible. Her investigation was so impressive. And lets end with the marathon miracle, superman, according to the sunday telegraph. The sunday times have the same picture of the kenyan Eliud Kipchoge, the first man to run a marathon in less than two hours, with a team of pacemakers, it wont count in the record books because it was not part of a race but an extraordinary achievement. Superman indeed he has run a marathon in less tha n indeed he has run a marathon in less than two hours, that seems to be an extraordinary feat. He had these places with him. It wont count as unofficial record because he was not part of a race. He had a number of things that smoothed his path. Had these runners with him, amazing trainers, a £21i0 pair of running shoes. I have to buy them if they are doing that for people. He hopes that other people, now that he has smashed its record, he hopes they will follow his lead and break his record but they will do it in competitions. I only did the marathon once in london and i did it injust underfour marathon once in london and i did it in just under four hours. Marathon once in london and i did it injust underfour hours. He marathon once in london and i did it in just under four hours. He was twice as fast as me which is terrifying although not surprising. It would be extremely satisfying, this time, for a half marathon. He is twice as fast as an average human being. Icannot is twice as fast as an average human being. I cannot wrap my head around it. When Roger Bannister broke the four minute mile he often says that there is almost a collective psychological barrier that humankind had to break through and once he did, several people did after him. Its interesting to see if the same thing happens here. Once he has broken the two hour marathon. And more and more people start doing this . The collective psychological barrier has been broken. And there are not that many of these great human barriers to human endeavour left. The four minute mile is a historic example. Now this two hour marathon as well . I cannot think of many. We have climbed everest. Plunging to the bottom of the sea, there is a lot to explore down there. It is extraordinary, he was talking about Roger Bannister, he ran undera talking about Roger Bannister, he ran under a four minute mile, Eliud Kipchoge has run four and a half minute miles 26 times in a row. When you think of it like that, while and if he has done it, that should be the record. Does it matter if its in the context of a race . To some extent, it does. Thats the point, competing against each other. There is this artificial barrier to some degree but there is the notion that doing it as part of a race and having some rules around it, it is not entirely downhill, there is some measure of another challenge to it. It would help if it was entirely downhill thank you so much to both of you. Many thanks, dont forget you can see the front pages online on the bbc news website.
