fir? “til: “azg‘ us, some patchy mist and fog forming and temperatures falling away. perhaps in rural spots and sheltered areas, we could see temperatures close to freezing and perhaps a light frost in one or two spots but chilly start but sunny for many of us. chilly start but sunny for many of us. early mist and fog quickly melting away, a decent day, the exception these weather front is starting to show their hand from the west. they will bring more cloud and rain as we go into the afternoon. for the isles of scilly and perhaps the foot of cornwall, mulraney into the foot of cornwall, mulraney into the afternoon, brushing the fringes of western wales as well. certainly more cloud here. but central and eastern areas will see some warmth, and away from the coasts, temperatures could get into the mid to high teens again. the cloud and outbreaks of rain, along with strengthening wind, sitting across the irish sea, towards the isle of man and into northern ireland and parts of scotland. eastern scotland should keep some brightness through most of the day but not quite as warm here, 10—13 the overall high. whether france drawing a blanket of crowd and showreel outbreaks of rain from the west gradually drifting eastward through the night. tuesday
10:31 pm
morning will certainly be not quite as cold but it will be cloudy with outbreaks of nuisance rain into the south—east corner. not amounting to very much at all, not enough to whet the gardens but some cloud and the odd spot of showery rain clearing away from the south—east. behind, brightening up with sunny spells again coming through but a bit fresher. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, high pressure building from the west, and the wind will change direction, coming more from the north west but it means there will be a good deal of settled weather, not much significant rain and temperatures are little down on where they have been. take care. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. theresa may assures gibraltar that britain remains committed committed to its people and its economy, post—brexit.
10:32 pm
the rock's chief minister says trade is the key issue. when we get the deal and brexit it must be a deal that applies to the uk in terms of trade and it is only fair, proper and write it should apply to gibraltar. more than 250 people have been killed, many more are missing, after mudslides in colombia. the president has declared a state of emergency in the region. three more arrests on suspicion of attempted murder over an alleged hate crime attack on a teenage asylum seeker in south london. five others are still being questioned. the writer, broadcaster and civil liberties campaigner, darcus howe, has died at the age of 7a. he was most well known for organising the 20,000 strong black people's march in 1981, claiming neglect and insufficient policing of the investigation into the new cross fire that killed 13 black teenagers. hello and welcome to our look ahead
10:33 pm
to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejim waterson, who's the political editor of buzzfeed. and the public appointments adviserjacqui francis. dece ntly decently giving up their sunday evening! tomorrow's front pages. the cover of the ft features a stark warning from president trump over north korea. the telegraph also carries the president's comments on its front page, ahead of his first meeting with the chinese premier this week. the i focuses on the row over comments made by michael howard on the issue of gibraltar. the same story is on the front page of the metro, with the paper highlighting the former tory leader's claim the prime minister would even consider war to keep the territory. the express says 20—minute walk a day could save your life,
10:34 pm
following a report by the british heart foundation that three quarters of heart patients take no exercise at all. donald trump's warning to the chinese is the times' lead tomorrow, with the president saying he would take unilateral action if necessary to halt kim jong—un‘s nuclear programme. the daily mirror carries a photo of the daughter of tracey wilkinson, visiting the scene where her mother was stabbed to death alongside her brother pierce in stourbridge last week. we have to start with gibraltar. tonight of all nights. fighting talk on gibraltar. the defence secretary insisting the uk will defend the rock all the way and lord howard comparing theresa may potentially to margaret thatcher should it come to it. he did not quite mention war, did he? i think he's said this has been mentioned and that obviously theresa may will strongly defend and
10:35 pm
support gibraltar. for some reason it was translated into margaret thatcher and possibly tanks and invasion. i am thatcher and possibly tanks and invasion. iam not thatcher and possibly tanks and invasion. i am not sure how that happened and i am sure theresa may is pleased he is incommunicado as she works out how to roll back from the idea that we will invade gibraltar. the direct comparison was made? a former conservative leader michael howard was doing the rounds oi'i michael howard was doing the rounds on the shows this morning and said comments to the effect of, we were willing to defend the falklands and would be willing to do the same again. we are not going to war with spain. they are a nato member. we would have to defend them against ourselves if we did. we would tie ourselves if we did. we would tie ourselves in not. you have someone
10:36 pm
like michael howard willing to talk this language and willing to say we will use military force to defend out will use military force to defend our landed interests. it gives you an insight into the mindset of the people coming up with this. and maybe the people they appeal to, that kind of talk would have a residence, even if it is only metaphorical. absolutely and what happened for some people, when they heard about the letter sent, it was civilised, like, we will do this and that and will negotiate and was not as hardliners some individuals wanted, i think so michael howard, saying this is what we want to hear. how one is this? it is one thing to appeal to the constituency you think it will resonate with but another thing to start the negotiations. lord howard will not be part of it. it comes back to the latter invoking
10:37 pm
article 50, it did not have a mention of gibraltar, which surprised some eu officials and spanish diplomat saw the opportunity and put in a line on the response letter. it is a misalignment of the two letters, which may be as simple as someone two letters, which may be as simple as someone forgot to put on line in one letter when it was drafted in downing street, but we end up four days later with talk on the front pages we might have an armed conflict. that will not happen. it is all about the language and mentality we can learn from this. the telegraph newspaper is connected to brexit as well, spain buoying scottish nationalists as the row over gibraltar intensifies, saying spain has abandoned plans to stop at independent scotland, should scotla nd independent scotland, should scotland achieve that, from joining the eu. there have been concerns
10:38 pm
from some scottish interests that spain would not want to see an independent scotland act ceding to the eu because it might give catalonia ideas. this might be more important of the two brexit stories tomorrow. this gives scotland and nicola sturgeon and the snp a free pass on a key issue in the past, with the argument being if you declared independence, before the uk left the eu, you would not be able to get in the club. this clears a major hurdle for scottish nationalism. it makes life easier to make the case it would not leave them outside the eu. this is another front on which tensions will be raised between madrid and london. front on which tensions will be raised between madrid and londonlj am sure everybody is wondering, is this a quid pro quo for something else spain feels aggrieved about, for example the idea of security
10:39 pm
arrangements and sharing details. if you want to play that card, 0k, we will play this card, saying we will not say anything about scotland if they want to join. i wonder behind they want to join. i wonder behind the scenes what messages have got mixed up that people are saying things like this. it is a lot of sabre rattling before the negotiations. you wonder if there will be temperate language when they negotiate. of course. this is people setting out their stall. going in and waiting to see what everyone comes back with. on scotland getting independence and getting in the eu, there has been a change of thinking from spain on this. staying with the telegraph, police warn they'll changes will help release criminals.
10:40 pm
can you outline this. broadly speaking the story is that police will have to charge offenders, alleged offenders, within 20 days or release them from prison. there have been cases particularly around long crime investigations into historic child abuse and also stuff about journalists with phone hacking where people were kept on bail months and years and never charged but also having their name besmirched and unable to work. the issue is is it more fair to people let off eventually without charge ? more fair to people let off eventually without charge? 0r more fair to people let off eventually without charge? or is there a risk you end up letting off people who are guilty because the police have not within a month found the evidence. the college of policing think it is the latter and dangerous. they give the example of
10:41 pm
the soham murders. they say it takes longer than people think. it is not like csi, you tap into a computer and it tells you information. you wonder if it will mean that people are arrested over and again. wonder if it will mean that people are arrested over and againm wonder if it will mean that people are arrested over and again. it is possible. some of the journalists cases, close to our industry, use or careers ruined with no charge, then reading across into other cases not as well reported, there must be people whose lives have been ruined because the police have not got round to finding evidence so it seems a round to finding evidence so it seemsa fair round to finding evidence so it seems a fair balance. the financial times, telling us it has an exclusive interview with president trump. if china is not going to solve north korea, he says, we will. that headline is on the front pages tonight. clearly cross about the way north korea is behaving. china is
10:42 pm
one of north korea's few allies, but we do not know what sorting north korea means. no, he is saying if they don't, we will. as you said, slightly worrying, because i wonder when things are not going well domestically, sometimes leaders think, let's look abroad and see what we can do. a pre—emptive strike, i presume, is one of the things they are thinking about or covert operations in north korea. but who would want to go there? sabre rattling is one thing but if you say that to north korea, they might easily call your bluff. he is said arranged that man it might be something he decides to do. the missile tests have caused such tensions on the korean peninsula, as well. it is not a complete joke of a
10:43 pm
nation, they have the ability to fire missiles along way. it is on the back of comments by the 0bama administration, it is notjust in donald trump's heads. what might be something donald trump came up with on the spot that if china does not do anything, we will wade in. sometimes politicians go into interviews with a single line they wa nt interviews with a single line they want to put across. if you read the transcript of this interview it gets the feeling of they said, what will you do if they do not back down? well, i will wade you do if they do not back down? well, iwill wade in you do if they do not back down? well, i will wade in on my own. which is worrying if that is how policy is made. perhaps he just wa nted policy is made. perhaps he just wanted to answer the question. terrifying if that is coming about. setting out his stall before he meets the chinese premier? he is meeting him the first time this week. it is part of what he is trying to do. i worry if in the
10:44 pm
pentagon they say, sorry, what? did somebody mention, get your boots on, we are off somewhere. perhaps he is trying to say he has put pressure on the chinese before he meets them. there could be sanctions. china has failed to step in. in south korea they have a political crisis and are less willing to act tough. it is basically down to mr trump to work out what he wants to do. this will not bounce china into doing anything. they will do something if they want to do it but him having an exclusive and they are reading the financial times of thinking of course, donald, we will do what you wa nt course, donald, we will do what you want us to do. send them a note and saying, please stop doing that? we can look at the times newspaper and aired a —— air disasterfears over a
10:45 pm
poor standard of english among foreign pilots, meaning perhaps communication in the skies when things get tricky is not as clear as it might be. it is worrying that this is more than once before we have had pilots... i understood they double—check and speak carefully in a particular language to ensure if they do not understand they asked them to repeat it but one assumes if you are them to repeat it but one assumes if you are a them to repeat it but one assumes if you are a pilot, you have the same standard in terms of communication, no matter what country you are from. you would have thought. this implies not. there is a case where a pilot has gone on the wrong way without being clearance which the air traffic controller thought the pilot did not necessarily understand instructions. the main concern is pilots based overseas are in some way getting around, all being guided through the language tests.
