then a favoured few, missed many. then a favoured few, missed all of that and had a really glorious day. into the small hours we will see the last of the storms moving through the eastern side of scotland and off into the north sea. west keep ago fairamount of into the north sea. west keep ago fair amount of cloud and rain, for the western side of scotland. a slightly fresher night for sleeping. temperatures in a range of about nine to 15 or so. then sunday, still the remanents of saturday's rain gci’oss the remanents of saturday's rain across the north—west of scotland, gradually creeping further north and east. make the most of the dry start gci’oss east. make the most of the dry start across the south—west, it will not last. some of the rain again heavy, wouldn't rule out thunder in there again. the opposite end of the country, that rain lingering, murky gci’oss country, that rain lingering, murky across the northern isles. the mainland beginning to dry up, brightening perhaps across the south—west. then across the north channel into northern ireland, decent afternoon. so too for much of the north of england, northern wales but clouding all the while to the north midlands. there we come back to this mass of cloud and rain,

becoming ever more extensive. perhaps a bit more patchy towards the east but you will do well to miss it altogether. then through the evening we will import those muggier conditions from across the channel andi conditions from across the channel and i wouldn't be surprised again if there were some thunder storms eventually, perhaps away from that main area, which will migrate to the north of england, through northern ireland, southern scotland and the storms perhaps gathering across the south—east on what will be another sultry night, much fresher further north. on monday, we are pushing that band of weather further towards to the north. a dull, damp day across the northern half. all the while a chance of humid conditions sparking off yet more storms for the south—east. hello, this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look

10:34 pm
with me are deputy head of sport at the sun, martin lipton, and the evening standard columnist, rosamund urwin. tomorrow's front pages, starting with: brief summary. the observer leads with expert calls for the government to keep co—operating with the eu on security and intelligence after brexit. the sunday express talked to theresa may about her meeting with some of the victims of the manchester attack. like many sunday papers, the mail on sunday carries a cctv image showing the manchester bomber, salman abedi, minutes before the attack. the uk's security minister has told the sunday telegraph that social media firms are not doing enough to tackle extremism. and the sunday times talks about the conservative party wanting to re—launch its campaign, after labour narrows the gap in the polls to the single figures.
10:35 pm
so, those were the front pages. a more in—depth look now with martin and osmond. where are we starting? i think we'll start with the sunday times story and this relaunch of the tory campaign. if you remember, two weeks ago when the election campaign officially started, we are talking a 20% conservative lead and now, polls ranging between six and 12%, pretty significant in the normal context of things but it does suggest there are some problems, if not quite an implosion, certainly some good wounds on the campaign, particularly with social care and the dementia tax, as it was framed. it does dry
10:36 pm
me there is a similarity here, back in1987, me there is a similarity here, back in 1987, the tory lead whittled away in the last couple of weeks of the campaign to the extent that there was a major dust up tween david young, and norman tebbit, who worked the high command of margaret hatcher, a week before the poll, worried that they would throw it away, and they managed to get a majority of 110. but clearly there are issues. tory people talking about the manifesto authors, saying they should be taken out and shot after the u—turn over social care which is not. does the paper name? unsurprisingly not. he can't be an mp. one of the things they draw on is this bit between two of them and the team is very close—knit and they
10:37 pm
we re the team is very close—knit and they were divided on this, fiona hill didn't want this but nick did. this touches on how high the bar is set for theresa may because they point out that, yes, on current polling, we should note that laboured does tend to have a good time to weeks before elections, that is a pattern we have seen before. they point out she is on course for a majority of 50. that sounds good but because the bar has been set really high, is the failure here if she doesn't get more than eight to. and that is partly obviously because of the seemingly weakness of the opposition. she has tipped the scales by calling the election when she did. the reality here is that there has been a staggering degree of complacency in
10:38 pm
the conservative campaign, probably because they looked at the opposition and thought, we don't have one, we can do whatever we want, it is matt david wheaton flesh out the details because people will vote for us anyway, and they took the electorate for granted, to a degree. ifind it difficult the electorate for granted, to a degree. i find it difficult to conceive that corby led labour party canned get more than eight miliband. it is the same boat that lead got in 2005. another interesting point is this return to the 2—party. getting 80%. from 1987 onwards, the 2-party share has dipped down to somewhere, if you look at the last election, 65%, we are looking here at an 80% share for labour and conservative. it is going to back a0 years. share for labour and conservative. it is going to back 40 years. do you think realistically they can reset
10:39 pm
that button? this is what they are saying. everything that came before the attack is ancient history. is that wishful thinking? the tories will make the last 12 days of the campaigna will make the last 12 days of the campaign a referendum onjeremy corbyn. and works it. that will be the key policy, and i suspect it will be fairly successful. ok, the story that has been leading our news agenda here today and funnily enough informing a agenda here today and funnily enough in forming a lot of passengers and travellers at heathrow and gatwick airport as to what was going on because the company that were hoping to fly them to the destination were not talking to them. it was the front page of the telegraph, what a com plete front page of the telegraph, what a complete failure in customer services. you've got to feeling crabby sorry for the passengers stuck there. it is the sixth time in
10:40 pm
the year that ba have faced delays because of a breakdown. they have to do something to address that. i watched the chief executive, there was a video posted online, and he told passengers to go on twitter to check, and you thought that is not releva nt check, and you thought that is not relevant to everybody. that is not really where you should be getting your information from but the collapse was so great that that was where they were being forced to go. would it you make of the fact that people didn't even see a ba member of staff at the airport? how often have you been in a situation where you have been left in the lurch? if you have been left in the lurch? if you are told there is a problem, and it will be three hours, you might not like it but you can live with it. if you are not told, and you waiting three to find out, you've got the raging hum. even if these people had already been told their
10:41 pm
flights were cancelled, they wouldn't have unhappy but at least there would have had some certainty and conviction. it is these inability to message that i find so many companies are guilty of. it really in theory aids because the bases of customer service is to let people know, that is all you have to do. they might not like it but at least they are informed, they can make a least they are informed, they can makea plan, least they are informed, they can make a plan, do something about it. why? it is that culture of don't admit lame, isn't it. we all know m ista kes admit lame, isn't it. we all know mistakes are made. tell them that tree. they may not like it but they prefer that truths to lies. the mail, this is the cctv image released by greater manchester police. i don't know what is the worst thing about this, is that he looks so ordinary and inoffensive, and this manifest guilty of the most
10:42 pm
barbarous, monstrous fowl at you can imagine, and yet, you wouldn't know that. the banality of evil. i introduced —— interviewed dr who treated patients on thursday and it was so gruesome, and treated patients on thursday and it was so gruesome, and you think this is something another human did to people. yes. the good thing is they have built up this picture and they are continuing to build up this picture of things like his finances. another point that came out this evening is that they seem to have located the flat weather bomb may have been built. we need to find out how widely known this plot was. was ita how widely known this plot was. was it a very small group of him and his family, two of whom who are in libya, or was it half a dozen people
10:43 pm
all was a 20 people? we need to discover the strength of this. like the anti—terrorism team are saying, there are 500 active investigations. we are lucky there are so few. 3000 people involved. we don't know how lucky we are, how many of these things have been foiled before they got to fruition. this one wasn't foiled, probably because it was a soft target. let's go quickly to the telegraph and social media's role. but tory minister of the sunday telegraph, minister... social media firms failing to halt terror. theresa may, this is part of her campaign against facebook and social media, and she wants world leaders
10:44 pm
to put pressure on those companies. she said to the g—7 that the battlefield has moved and it is the internet, basically now. this all sounds very sensible, i think there was a difficult thing to wake up, to do with civil liberties. but the manchester killer had been reported to the police on numerous occasions so it is not as bob it is a simple explanation here. if these firms had done more, we would have known this. i think there is a legitimate argument that most people would agree with that the civil liberties of someone who wants to blow people up of someone who wants to blow people up really don't deserve to exist. there is an interesting point here. there is an interesting point here. the security minister points out that we ask for the same type of
10:45 pm
data as he claims are sold on to other companies and when we ask for the same data, we are refused. other companies and when we ask for the same data, we are refusedm other companies and when we ask for the same data, we are refused. it is ridiculous. these companies earn billions of pounds of dollars, they have a moral obligation to do what is right. you know whether it is child pornography, whether it is violence, whether it is in this case attem pts violence, whether it is in this case atte m pts to violence, whether it is in this case attempts to blow up western civilisation, the privacy issue goes out the window. you would be happy for people to have access to... yes. i generally would. i don't have a problem. there is an interesting thing, put it clear. the more libertarian part of the conservative party hates this. our brexit secretary david raises resigned
