it was of the setting sun through. it was across eastern england scotland that had low temperatures today but it will be turning milder as we head on into the weekend. overnight we do have extensive cloud. there are a few breaks at the moment in southern and eastern england. damp weather in scotland, patches of drizzle for northern ireland, and for western coasts and hills of wales around western england as well, but it is a relatively mild night. on into the weekend we get this weather front stuck across the north—west of scotland. this could bring pretty large rainfall totals into the highlands, some where between 75 and maybe 200m l of rain. that would bring the threat of flooding and landslip. there is an amber weather warning for that, we will keep watching it. through the weekend away from that north—west corner of scotland where it will be wet. a bit of drizzle for the rest of scotland, wail, england. no great rainfall

amounts, with stronger winds there are chances of seeing sunshine, the east of the pennines, midlands and eastern wales as well. the rain becomes more extensive on sunday, in northern areas, in the south largely dry, and there is a chance we should start to see some breaks in the cloud coming up from north france, it might be across to the south of wales and southern england we have the best of the day's sunshine on sunday, very mild, temperatures 11 to 14, but then it is set to get colder into next week, to the end of the week it could be cold enough for some of the showers to start to turn wintry. that that is the latest. thanks, chris. and that's bbc news at ten. newsnight is just getting under way on bbc two, with kirsty. on bbc one, its time tojoin our colleagues for the news where you are, goodnight.

this programme contains some strong language. i never hacked a phone or told anybody else to hack a phone, and nobody has produced any actual evidence to prove that i did. but today a court ruled piers morgan did know about phone hacking when he was editor of the daily mirror.

prince harry won the day — the verdict, he was hacked by the mirror group — but morgan, named 68 times by the judge, came out swinging. so what will be the impact of today's judgment on both victims of hacking, and the press? we'll bejoined byjacqui hames, from the hacked off group, graham johnson, sunday mirror journalist who previously pled guilty to phone hacking, and paul connew, former editor of the sunday mirror. also tonight... more revelations about the plight of former afghan special forces, now in danger from the taliban. british army officers tried to vouch for them but were never contacted by the mod. and...

12 years ago it was a scandal — arguably of international significance. drawing politics, policing, celebrity, royalty and the media into its midst. the met police commissioner resigned, as did the prime minister's director of communications. i take full responsibility for employing andy coulson. mr coulson was jailed. a i68—year—old newspaper was closed. and a billionaire media magnate made a rare appearance before mps. he was attacked with a foam pie and made this intervention. this is the most humbling day of my life. lord leveson�*s public inquiry followed. but whilst rupert murdoch's news international bore the brunt of the scandal, costing them over £1.2 billion, another big newspaper group,

trinity mirror, now reach plc, avoided a similar level of scrutiny until today. mrjustice fancourt ruled that... in 1995, there was some unlawful activity at the company. by 1996, phone hacking had started. and from 1998, it was widespread and habitual. he also said that between 2006 and 2011, it remained an important tool including during the time of leveson inquiry into phone hacking. today mirror group apologised for its "historical wrongdoing". mrjustice fancourt also said 15 of 33 sample articles highlighted by prince harry were "the product of phone hacking or other unlawful information gathering". he awarded the duke of sussex £140,600. but for prince harry all this is seemingly not about the money and more about the truth. the fact that he was prepared to say, look, the money is not

the important thing. i want to show you that it happened. i'm not taking a kind of compromise. i want to prove that i was hacked, that it had an effect on me. and i want people to be held to account for it. and i think it's a tribute to him. i thought he may be very foolish suing newspapers and said so at the time, but it's come good. he has been vindicated quite rightly. and i think thejudge, it's an astonishing judgment. piers morgan, thejournalist, diarist, controversialist and erstwhile tvjudge was editor of the daily mirror from 1995 to 200k. he's always denied knowledge of phone hacking. but today the judge accepted a claim that he knew about it. newsnight�*sjeremy paxman told the leveson inquiry of a lunch he had with mr morgan while he was mirror editor. he then explained that the way to get access to people's messages

was to go to the factory default setting and press either 000 or 1234. and that if you didn't put on your own code, his words, you're a fool. for prince harry all this is a very welcome win against the print media. and particularly the man who's been such a constant critic of him and his wife. the duke of sussex has cases ongoing against the publishers of the sun and daily mail. meanwhile reach plc — which has already paid out millions — may now face many more legal claims. and the met police are considering what, if anything, they'll do next. i'm joined now by graham johnson, a formerjournalist and whistle—blower on phone hacking at the sunday mirror. he previously pleaded guilty to hacking and served a suspended sentence. alsojoining us is jacqui hames, from the campaign group hacked off and paul connew, former editor of the sunday mirror newspaper. jacqui, how would you characterise

to taliban—controlled afhganistan. the soldiers fled to pakistan — which now says it will expel afghan refugees. one former uk general has called it a "betrayal" and a "disgrace". now we have discovered that members of the british army who tried to vouch for afghan special forces were never contacted by the ministry of defence. many of the afghans, known as the triples after the units' numbers, were subsequently denied help designed to settle those in danger in the uk. this despite the face that back in 2021, the then prime minister, borisjohnson, said that the uk would do "whatever we can" to get "safe passage for them". here's joe inwood. they were the best of the afghan military, trained and funded by the british. the triples, as they were known, worked alongside uk forces right until the afghan government fell. they were the last standing. even helping with the evacuation of kabul. they were uniquely trusted in a way the afghan national army wasn't. we would eat, sleep, drink with them. there was a unique bond. they put their lives

on the line for us. and so when the triples applied to the afghan relocation and assistance policy, arap, there were no shortage of former and serving british military personnel happy to vouch for them. i gave them details about the guy i served with in afghanistan, but never got a response from either the mpd or arap. i know of a number of other people who served alongside the triples and never received any contact. we've been told by multiple sources, all serving or former military, that the same thing happened to them. they gave a reference to someone applying for the arap scheme whenever contacted by the ministry of defence and then found out the person they were supporting had been rejected. and it all comes just a few days after the armed forces minister spoke in the house of commons, also in response to a newnsight story and said this. it's also impossible, i think, to verify the service of those who didn't serve directly alongside

the british armed forces and where there is somebody within the british system that can vouch for the closeness of that service. it makes me so angry, particularly to hear the minister say that it's hard to verify these people when they've clearly made no attempt to verify them, not even reaching out to their own people. and it's notjust the issue of identifying individuals that has been causing controversy. there's also a row about who the triples really worked for. on monday, the minister said this: the triples, were afghan led task forces set up to counter drug trafficking - and organised crime and reported into the afghan interior ministry. i they are therefore a component ofi the afghan national security forces and are not automatically in scope for relocation under arap. - but that version of events has been questioned by many people conservative backbenchers, members of the opposition, even ministerial colleagues and one

man we spoke to who used to help pay the triples. the money would be apportioned and delivered in person by a british officer and then signed for by the afghan personnel who would then take it away and we would keep the invoice, which would then be sent back so that it was above board and the money was all accounted for. the monthly pay would be up to $1,000. we've been told it came directly from london and that there will be records. it would be fairly easily derived information to the effect that the money changed hands and the audit for the money exists somewhere. if they needed to find out, they could find out. in a statement, the ministry of defence said that each arap application is assessed individually and in accordance with published policy. we do not automatically make a decision on eligibility based on a job role. campaigners have been fighting for the triples ever since the fall of kabul. while their primary concern

is for those left behind, it has taken a toll on them as well. we talk a lot about veterans and their mental health. to think that you've left these people behind, you hear what they're going through. they were looking after you on the ground and you can't help them. over the last few days, there does seem to be a change in the mood about the treatment of the triples. whether that will result in action is a very different question. the role of logan roy, the foul—mouthed billionaire media mogul at the heart of the emmy winning tv series succession, which reached its climax this year, won brian cox, awards and plaudits galore. he seemed to instictively understand what drove roy, and in the role he exuded a visceral mix of fury and anguish. cox recently said that he has sympathy for roy, a self made man with entitled, obnoxious children. as media dynasties go — there were very definite echoes of murdoch and maxwell — and indeed, according to an article in vanity fair,

one of the conditions ofjerry hall and rupert murdoch's divorce settlement was that she was strictly forbidden from feeding any potential story ideas to succession writers. by the time brian cox, a classically trained actor walked onto the set of succession, he had had many major stage and screen roles under his belt, including in the films, nuremberg and manhunter and, of course, braveheart, but he is the face of succession. i'm going to build something bigger. faster. wilder. i want to kill the opposition. cut their throats. we are pirates! logan! brian cox, lovely to have you here. what does it feel like to reach the zenith of your career and you're only in your mid 70s. acting is a
