Hello this is bbc news with ben brown. The headlines harry and meghan will drop their hrh title and give up all royal duties under a new agreement with buckingham palace. The queen says they will always be much loved members of her family. Prince harry will also lose his military positions and the couple say they intend to pay back taxpayers money used to renovate their windsor home. In other news, powers come into force this week to stop stalkers from contacting or approaching their victims while Police Investigate allegations against them golf ball sized hailstones hit parts of the australian state of victoria, with storms leading to fears of flooding following the bushfires. Before the papers, sport, and for a full round up from the bbc sport. Good morning. Englands cricketers have made a stunning start to day four of the third test in port elizabeth. They removed south africas last four wickets for just one run inside 25 minutes. That left them 290 runs behind, so theyre now following on and theyre 15 without loss, still a long way off englands first innings score of 499, but theyve had to come off because of rain. Saracens will be relegated from rugby unions premiership at the end of this season following persistent salary cap breaches. The news was confirmed last night, with Premiership Rugby saying they wanted a level playing field. Jane dougall reports. The saracens players were told on friday it wouldnt matter how many points they earned this season, they would be relegated. Their chief executive, ed griffiths, presided over that team meeting, perhaps why he wasnt keen to talk on camera. But after confirmation from Premiership Rugby that the champions would not be in the top flight next season,
the club was forced to respond. Chairman neil golding said in a statement its the first time theyve said sorry. Saracens have been described as the greatest england club side of all time. In the last decade, they have won three european cups and four premiership titles, including the double last season. Nine of their players appeared for england in the rugby world cup, including maro itoje and captain 0wen farrell. In june, an investigation was launched into the way the club paid them. By november, it was confirmed saracens had breached the leagues salary cap rules and were deducted 35 points and fined £5. 3 million. For this season, saracens werent unable to prove they would comply with the salary cap, so Premiership Rugby decided they would be relegated. The league below doesnt have a salary cap, but it is not clear if those players that were attracted by large
wages will stay and play for their club in the lower tier. Well, on the subject of what the saracens players do now, our rugby Union Correspondent chrisjones told me earlier that theyd be weighing up a few options, but none of them seem that appealing. Thats the Million Dollar question because can you really see 0wen farrell, marrow to jake, the vilna polar brothers knocking about at doncaster and bedford 7 0n polar brothers knocking about at doncaster and bedford . 0n the other hand, saracens have been so loyal to saracens. They have this band of brothers mentality, but surely, surely that has to be seriously stretched and challenged, that kind of spirit, given what has gone on. How badly do the players feel let down by those above them who told them back in november there is nothing really to see here. The way saracens met the initial punishment
with indignation rather than contrition just looks so ill thought out at the moment. Im sure agents are working overtime and other clubs are working overtime and other clubs are thinking today and i have room in their salary cap to squeeze in one of the saracens players . They have around 25 internationals on their books. The sun go out on loan . To some look for a switches . To some stay with saracens and desperately try to salvage the club is my reputation . Try to salvage the club is my reputation . As things stand, saracans still have a chance to retain their european champions cup trophy and they can reach the semi finals today, if they beat racing this lunchtime and other results go their way. Ulster made it through as one of the best second placed teams thanks to a 22 15 win over bath. Will addison on the scoresheet in the week he was recalled to the ireland sqaud. Northampton did all they could to keep their hopes alive, with a bonus point win in lyon. George furbank scoring the vital fourth try. They will be waiting on the results from saracens and gloucester today. Manchester united manager
0le Gunnar Solskjaer has ramped up the tension ahead of their match at liverpool this afternoon. He sasturgen klopp has a long way to go before he can be regarded as anywhere near as good as sir alex ferguson. Well, liverpool will move 16 points clear at the top of the premier league if they beat united at anfield, after second placed Manchester City were held to a 2 2 draw by crystal palace. City were 1 0 down with 10 minutes to go, but Sergio Aguero scored twice in five minutes to put them ahead, before an own goal by fernandinho in the final minute. There was a dramatic victory for newcastle, their first in five league matches. Isaac hayden scoring the only goal of the game against chelsea in injury time. It was a big day at the foot of the table. Bottom side norwich giving themselves a lifeline with a 1 0 victory over bournemouth, who are just one place above them. Bournemouth captain steve cook tried to keep his side in the match with a fine save,
the problem is, hes a defender, not a goalkeeper, so that gave norwich a penalty, which teemu pukki scored. I think its just something hes done purely on instinct. He hasnt meant or planned to long to think about it. Ijust think, i can only put it down to that. Hes very down the dressing room. We have to support at this time. Its just one of those things he couldnt help. Celtic moved past struggling championship side Partick Thistle to reach the fifth round of the scottish cup. Leigh griffiths scored his first goal since august to set them on their way to a 32nd win in a row in domestic cup competitions. Celtic are targetting a fourth consecutive treble. After more than a year out, Conor Mcgregor made his return to the ufc and it lasted all of 40 seconds. It was one of the most highly anticipated comebacks with the irishman fighting donald
cowboy cerrone in the early hours of this morning in las vegas, but after mcgregor landed a series of blows in the first round the american quite simply failed to recover. Mcgregor becomes the first fighter in ufc history to secure knockout victories across three weight divisions. Despite, his speedy win, he says he still has some things he needs to work on. That opening might have been so to speak because i was too eager and then when i did not come down i may have rushed the opening shots and then i had to control the head, stop his blues. That would be being out of the game for 15 months looks like. There is still work to be done to add, correct and move on. There is still work to be done to add, correct and move on. Ali carter has made it to the final of of the masters snooker for the first time, after beating shaun murphy by 6 3. Carter took his opportunity to close out the match with a break of 97. Twice a World Championship finallist, he was only invited to play when ronnie 0sullivan decided to give the tounament a miss this year. Hell play Stuart Bingham for the title. Its live on bbc two from 1. 00pm. Thats all the sport for now. Now on bbc news, the papers. Hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. With me are the journalist and author shyama perera, and the director of the Polling Organisation deltapoll, joe twyman. Lets take a look at the front pages. As you can imagine, theresjust one story dominating the newspapers today and thats harry and meghan. The sunday mirrors front page splash is queen orders a hard megxit and it says that harry and meghan have been cut loose by her majesty. The sunday express calls it freedom at a price, as the sussexes will have to stop using their royal titles and step down from all royal duties no longer representing the queen. The sunday telegraph describes harry and meghan as being cast out. It explains harry will be forced to give up his official military patronages and the pair will no longer receive public funds. The sun on sunday calls it payback time, but makes the point that the couple will still receive funds from Prince Charles through his duchy of cornwall estate. The mail on sunday dubs it the price of megxit, referring to the £2. 4 million of taxpayers money spent on refurbishing Frogmore Cottage which the sussexes will pay back. The sunday times reports on a plan
by borisjohnson to move the house of lords north, with york or birmingham both named as possible locations. The observer leads on a warning from the Prime Minister to his cabinet focus all your Energy Post Brexit britain or face the sack. The price of megxit are you pro or anti it . The price of megxit are you pro or antiit . I think this is probably the most intelligent thing this young couple has done. If you look at the history of errors and spares, Prince Andrew was pilloried when he married the duchess of york. She was laughed at by the whole country. Her
father was pulled apart in the press. The children subsequently have really been made a laughing stock. He was despair because prince hassan didnt count and his entire life was pulled apart by the press. Ijust dont see life was pulled apart by the press. I just dont see that harry life was pulled apart by the press. Ijust dont see that harry is going to escape it any more or less. Look at Princess Margaret before that. She did everything expected of her prodigious get any reward for it . No. I grew up reading about her being with robert llewellyn, in mustique, what a waste of time she was. Despair has always been hated by the british press. Humiliated by them. I think these two are absolutely right to say, did you know what . Goodbye. You have done some polling on this. The british people believe that in principle what they are doing is a good thing and they supported, but they were
critical in the way they went about it, not informing the queen, just making the announcement. The interesting thing is the division between older people and younger people. Millennial is a really positive towards them, baby boomers quite negative. That division is really interesting. If these two are to be in some way the future of the royal family, then it is interesting that millennial is particularly believe that, for instance, meghan and harry are more in touch with normal people than william and catherine. This raises interesting questions about how the royal family will be viewed. There are issues, one thing we are not thinking about, is that currently 95 of harrys money comes from his father. Lets talk about the money. 0ne fan pages payback time. There is a lot of
detail about their offering to pay back the 2. 4 million for refurbishing their home at windsor. Is that good pr from their point of view . It is. In the bigger picture, though, as soon as Prince Charles ta kes though, as soon as Prince Charles takes the throne, Prince William will be in charge of the duchy of cornwall. Will he give harry 95 of harrys earnings . That is quite important. This 2. 4 million, how many chimes of big ben for brexit with that cover . Nearly five. Lets not confuse megxit with brexit what about security, he should pay for that . That is the question that will remain for some time. In the statement from the palace they were keen to say that they dont comment
on security arrangements. It has been suggested today that the security could cost up to £7 million a year. Compared to that, 2. 4 million for your house is virtually nothing. Does that come from the duchy of lancaster and the prince of wales from the public purse, does it come from the canadians . If i was canadianl come from the canadians . If i was canadian i dont imagine i would be overly enjoyed about the taxpayer of that country paying for their security. New campaign relies him for being born at prince. That is why it is such an interesting question. I dont know whether we will ever get full clarity on that. Iimagine it will ever get full clarity on that. I imagine it will evolve. They have mentioned this is something well revisit after a year. It wouldnt surprise me if there was a ruling investigation every year to look at who pays for this. Lets look at the
sunday times. Their front page who pays for this. Lets look at the sunday times. Theirfront page is they are out. Inside, they have the bishop, michael curry, who spoke at their wedding. He drew a lot of attention with his remarks at the wedding with that sermon, a pretty unconventional part the sermon. Rather long. 14 minutes. It is a wedding for goodness sake, they always go on too long he is offering his support to them. In the end, this agreement i suppose is good for the royal family that we have drawn a line under it. Yes, i think it is really surprising that they have moved so quickly. I think their responses very up to date and modern. It is being presented as the duke and duchess of sussex being kicked out, but as far as i can say
that they have they wanted. How nice 110w that they have they wanted. How nice now that they can say they couldnt wait to get rid of us. I am the mother of millennial is who just dont understand the fuss that is being made here. To them, it is as plain as the news on your face that these two are being given a hard time and they should just get out. Much like brexit, it may appear that this is only the end but i think this is only the end but i think this is only the end but i think this is only the beginning. The next question is how did they get money . 0ut question is how did they get money . Out of the royal titles . The prince of wales set up a company specifically designed to make biscuit and other things under his world title. That is apparently 0k. If meghan and harry release a range of biscuits, is that 0k . They havent got any land, have they . Not
yet. 0ne havent got any land, have they . Not yet. One thing i would like one of your royal reporters to respond to is they are repaying 2. 4 million for frogmore house, but that was a gift from the queen. Do they have to pay rent for it now . It is her property. I think we should move off megxit and go to some other stories. The 0bserver have got borisjohnson telling the cabinet shape up or i will sack you. It is an unusual statement. It has been released ahead of what we assume will be a cabinet reshuffle. The reporting says that ministers should spend less time on tv and concentrate more on delivery, so in other words they are suggesting that senior ministers, all ministers in the cabinet, should not be larking about
but should be sorting out the country. It is an interesting piece of pr. I cant imagine there are many ministers sitting at home thinking, goodness, iwas many ministers sitting at home thinking, goodness, i was looking forward to messing around for a few weeks and really have to knuckle down and help the levelling up of the of the country. The suggestion is by appearing on tv and radio they are boosting their careers, their personal careers. There is lots of talk about the fact that this is an attack by perhaps Dominic Cummings to establish control number ten and make it all about Central Control and concentrating on what they regard as the task in hand. John paco, who was speaker of the house of commons, nominated for a peerage, says the sunday times. Jeremy corbyn being playful, one would say. There clearly is a good argument for it, the first speaker in 230 years not
to be offered a peerage. He has been put up for to be offered a peerage. He has been put upfora to be offered a peerage. He has been put up for a peerage byJeremy Corbyn. That is just great, i would love to have seen the kerfuffle another time when that came out. This is what young people referred to as top banter are you one of those young people . To as top banter are you one of those young people . |j to as top banter are you one of those young people . I wouldnt regard myself as such. I think Jeremy Corbyn is having a bit of fun. At the same time, this was the first time in 240 years that the speaker of the house of commons has not been put into the house of lords, so i think it is fair and right. What is interesting he has suggested an peerage for his chief of staff, karie murphy. If i was looking to deflect attention away from such a flagrant political appointment and might perhaps go for the top banter approach. She is not universally popular. Not in the labour party, let alone in the wider
political world. In labour party, let alone in the wider politicalworld. In the labour party, let alone in the wider political world. In the sunday times, we have a betting story. Betting companies have been coming infor betting companies have been coming in for quite betting companies have been coming inforquitea betting companies have been coming in for quite a hammering in the last few weeks. Yes, and within that context it is a shocking story. There is a database of every child who is at school, including their home address. This has somehow been given to a betting firm, which is just absolutely shocking. The names, ages and addresses of 28 million children and students. It is called the learning record service, which it turns out 12,000 organisations have access to. Youre only meant to have access to. Youre only meant to have access to it for educational purposes. Goodness only knows what that means. 0ne purposes. Goodness only knows what that means. One of those organisations is a betting firm. This has led to all sorts of questions. They are describing it in
the times is one of the biggest breaches of government data. I think it raises really interesting question the kind of questions that stack it is going to be dominated by, about data, who has access to it and in this particular instance, have the rights of these 28 Million People been violated by their data. Did they give permission . Absolutely. Even if you give permission you are not giving it to anybody who can pay the price. As a pollster we are by very strict rules when and becomes even stricter when we deal with the data of under 18 year olds. I think this will be the kick in the rear that certain people require to tie down these kind of rules. Teenagers, according to the sunday telegraph, need help
to the sunday telegraph, need help to tell the time. Embarrassingly, as a parent of two daughters who you are in their20s a parent of two daughters who you are in their 20s who struggle to read a clock, i dont really know what to say to this except if they needed to learn how to they would. This is only predicated on one complaining teacher. A head teacher in one school in scotland who has commented that some pupils have difficulty reading the clock. There is no data to back it up. When i was at school there was criticism that people couldnt read analogue watches because of digital watches. The idea that mobile phones have changed this i think is a stretcher. People do need to be able to tell the time. I think our perception of time has also changed. Why is that . Because of analog and mobile phones. You now dont have to be anywhere on time you can always send an apology in advance to explain what is wrong or whatever. People are more fluid about time. To any children watching at home, please dont tweet ten or send a message to your teacher during an exam saying sorry, im going to be late. There are times when time is still. We are out of time thank you so much. Thats it for the papers this morning. Dont forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. Thank you, shyama and joe.
