south korea's liberal opposition party wins a landslide majority in the country's general election. but we'll also look into an exciting way country's leading broadcasters vie for viewership on polling night. here in the uk, there's pressure on the government to rethink plans to tackle rough sleeping in england and wales. the criminaljustice bill would allow police to move on "nuisance" rough sleepers and fine or arrest them if they don't comply. critics say the definition of nuisance behaviour is too broad, and dozens of conservative mps are thought to oppose the plans. now more than 30 charities have written to home secretary james cleverly, warning about potential impacts. they say the plans "could see women...penalised for seeking

shelter and safety in well—lit doorways," and, "it could see a fine of £2,500 issued to a person carrying an excessive smell." the letter, signed by organisations including crisis, amnesty uk and the big issue, praises government steps to end rough sleeping but argues elements of the criminaljustice bill "undermine" those commitments. home office sources say they do not believe the plans criminalise rough sleeping, but give police powers to tackle the issue. let's speak now to jasmin basran from homelessness charity, crisis. thank you for coming in the programme. thank you for coming in the programme-— thank you for coming in the rouramme. ., ~ ., ., programme. thank you for having me. what are your — programme. thank you for having me. what are your concerns _ programme. thank you for having me. what are your concerns with _ programme. thank you for having me. what are your concerns with this? - what are your concerns with this? the bill introduces a wide range of powers that mean people can be criminalised for sleeping in doorway or having excessive smell and in practice that mean people will be criminalised for the act of being

9:33 pm
initiatives rather than this approach which actually we know from previous legislation, existing legislation, pushes people away from support because it breaks down the trust when people are sleeping rough already fearful and traumatised by the experience and then being enforced against and thrown into jail. enforced against and thrown into “ail. ., ., , , ., jail. one of the examples often talked about _ jail. one of the examples often talked about is _ jail. one of the examples often talked about is businesses, - jail. one of the examples often i talked about is businesses, small businesses for example, trying to trade and work and feeling they don't have the ability to move rough sleepers so that they can trade. whatever their personal opinions they may be deeply compassionate but still want to be able to run their business. is that the kind of problem that is trying to help with? the government have said those are the types of issues, however there are existing powers in the 2014
9:34 pm
anti—social behaviour act that would enable these issues to be addressed. for example in that piece of legislation, in this scenario, if someone is unfortunately causing disruption because they are sleeping in front of a shop doorway, the police can already approach that individual if they are causing an issue and having a negative impact on the community and the shop itself. one of the changes being suggested to the government is to update guidance around that act and make it clear police have those powers. there is a duplication here thatis powers. there is a duplication here that is not needed and even worse, current legislation goes much further and much broader so even if people are not causing any type of nuisance. susie boniface journalist and daily mirror columnist. brian stelterjournalist and broadcaster. do you share those concerns? very much. do you share those concerns? very much- there _ do you share those concerns? very much. there was a _ do you share those concerns? very much. there was a scheme - do you share those concerns? very much. there was a scheme in which

9:38 pm
the democratic party and smaller opposition partiesjointly won 192 of 300 seats in the national assembly, and retains control of parliament. the vote was widely seen as a referendum on the country's president yoon. and although he's been unpopular, few observers expected such a punishing defeat. 0ur seoul correspondent jean mackenzie explained what this result means for president yoon's position and south korea's political landscape. although these were parliamentary elections and they don't decide the president, the way the campaign has played out here is very much that this was a mid—term referendum on the current president yoon suk yeol who has been in office now for two years. he has been an unpopular president from the very start. his approval ratings have hovered between 30 and 40%. people have bristled at what they see as quite a confrontational political style, but also he has been accused of mishandling the economy. so when we spoke to people at polling stations yesterday, they were telling us
9:39 pm
that they were worried about the rising cost of food or how difficult it is to buy an apartment here and they didn't believe that mr yoon had a vision for this country and was going to be able to fix these problems. but even so, i don't think either side was expecting him to be punished quite this much. this is a landslide for the opposition party, and it does dent president yoon's authority. when it comes to the day—to—day politics, it means that it will be more difficult for him to pass laws and pursue his agenda because now the opposition in the smaller parties are going to be able to come together to block the laws that they don't like. that means that there is going to be more gridlock going forward. we've already had two years of gridlock, because the opposition controlled the parliament before, and it means that mr yoon might leave office with very little to show for his time other than his foreign policy achievements. because foreign policy is more divorced from the parliament, mr yoon has more autonomy here. and over the past couple of years he has made some pretty radical changes to south korean foreign policy. he has strengthened his relationship with the united states and with japan in order to counter
9:40 pm
china and north korea. but he had the authority to make these changes because he had just won a presidential election. now, he has in effect lost an election, it is going to make it more difficult for him to pursue foreign policy that doesn't have public support here in south korea. those tuning in to tv coverage on election night got more than the graphs and charts you might expect though. you could see parliamentary candidates starring in a romantic dramas, fighting on a speeding train, or even locked in a rap battle. south korea's broadcasters use computer graphics to spice up their coverage and try to draw in viewers. let's take a look at a few examples from commercial broadcaster, sbs. woman speaks korean.

9:57 pm
northern ireland and the far north of england, where we'll have a few patches of rain from time to time. 18 in aberdeen, top temperatures across eastern england likely to hit around 21 degrees celsius, which is going to get close to the highest temperature ever recorded so far this year in the whole of the uk. all change, though, as we head into the weekend, we'll start to see some rain and cooler weather work into northern ireland, scotland and northern england, holding on to something a little bit warmer again for parts of wales, the midlands, east anglia and southern counties of england. but the change will come. as we head into sunday and next week, the jet stream pattern changes completely and we'll start to get these northwesterly winds dragging in much cooler weather conditions. and so, for the second half of the weekend, we're looking at lots of showers for scotland and northern ireland. some of those will have some hail mixed in, one or two showers for the northwest of both england and wales, still largely dry across east anglia and southeast england, but temperatures back close to average, whereas further north, temperatures, if anything, could be a degree or so below average. what follows, then, into monday is more general outbreaks of rain and quite a cool windy day. sunshine and showers tuesday and wednesday, and then high pressure bringing drier weather towards the end of the week.
