10:45 pm
all muslims' and ‘this is for london bridge'. the times leads with reports on the man held after the attack. the express lead with defiant comments from prime minister following the attack, who says that hate crime must not succeed. the i call the terror incident ‘an attack on all of us‘. if we start with that, alison. it's a very striking image. partly because it's a night—time image, it's beautifully lit but also its reflective image. under that headline, an attack on all of us. very powerful. it is, and that's the message very powerful. it is, and that's the m essa g e lots very powerful. it is, and that's the message lots of politicians have been trying to get out there. they know how divisive it might be, so they are trying to say, and trying
10:46 pm
to convey the message that they understand that this is an attack on british people and british human beings. there is never a shortage of pictures and images, we see so many through social media and television, all the stuff people were filming last night on their own phones at the scene. it must be quite hard sometimes for the newspapers to find the still but is fresh, but also encapsulates a story. yes, and one that does not distort the story as well. i think what's very important about the coverage across the board and all papers that we will see tomorrow morning is they, as far as i have seen so far, are trying very ha rd i have seen so far, are trying very hard to make it clear that this was simplya hard to make it clear that this was simply a terrorist attack. just as westminster was, just as tower bridge was, just as manchester was a terrorist attack. the terrorists can come from any community. and they can attack any community. the headline says, each and every one of them is an attack on all of us. the metro has an image of darren
10:47 pm
osborne, the man who is claimed to have caused the attack. perhaps most striking is this picture to the right, in fact i think i'vejumped one, i think we have the... lets do the express first. theresa may and downing street. yes, the evil will never succeed, which we saw on the front page there. of course she has to say that. of course, it's in a sense, the kind of reflexive response after any incident of this type. the question, whether these incidents in themselves change anything, or change our perceptions of the community we live in, the society we live in, and our sense of whether or not we are safe. society we live in, and our sense of whether or not we are safelj society we live in, and our sense of whether or not we are safe. i think a lot of people are asking whether or not we are safe. and the truth of the matter is, we all have a responsibility i think to make sure we are as safe as we possibly can be. there are two ways to do that. one is to make sure the police and
10:48 pm
the security services have all the resources that they need, and that's the responsibility of government, to ensure that is the case. but we all, i think, have a responsibility as well, because there are clearly people living amongst us who have hatred and anger in their hearts. and you can go on to do horrible, horrible things, as we have seen. we have a responsibility to keep an eye out for that. and to make it clear that any level of racial hatred, or a sense that somehow there is a group out there, and other, that we do not approve of, that it is legitimate to criticise and attack, that has to be stamped out at root cause. if it gets out of hand, this is what it do. in terms of what we saw particularly late last night, when we saw this intervention that features on the front of the metro, which was the photo i was going to show you next. the photo of the imam, muhammad by mood, who later did a news conference today
10:49 pm
explaining what had happened, he says and we see the pictures here, him intervening. effectively putting a hand on the shoulder of the man who had just driven into some of his fellow muslims, some friends, kind of protecting him, forfear they might be violence against him. but the anger could turn... an extraordinary symbol, isn't it? he has been widely hailed as a hero and i think we'd all agree with that. the mobile phone footage people have, the panic and screaming, angen have, the panic and screaming, anger, pain. there was a big blob of people, rightly angry with him, and he just rushed out and said, no, don't touch. hand him to the police. and it was fantastic. what a great leader. the contrast with the negative image of some people who claim that they are inspired by islam, with the contrast with those who kept saying, this is a religion of peace, supposed to be about...
10:50 pm
he's devastating that. also that the muslim community are absolutely behind the police. and that, this imam was making it absolutely clear that it should be the police who deal with it, it should not be mob rule on the streets even though it seems that the attacker was almost willingly the crowd to take out vengeance on willingly the crowd to take out vengeance on him. the imam was saying no, absolutely not, it has to be the police to deal with this. that's how we do things in this country. the question that has been raised by some people talking today about this, and this has been raised and some commentary again tomorrow, is not just and some commentary again tomorrow, is notjust the immediate question of this incident, but whether there has been a rolling together of lots of different forms of hatred, and fear, and distrust between different communities. and whether there is a danger of confusing all of this, and treating everything has the same, so people talked about trying to do with islamophobia to prevent ——
10:51 pm
through the prevent programme, for example, a programme which is meant to be about ensuring people were not influenced by extreme thought, and actually radicalise. any thoughts on that? whether there is a clear enough official view, if you like, of how we deal with the different elements of this? we do have to deal with the different elements, because they are in themselves different. but they have the same root cause, which is the sense of hatred. that is what we all can recognise in each and every one of them. so you do have to have specific ways of dealing with radicalisation within the muslim communities, but at the same time you have to have slightly different ways of looking for right wing, far right extremism wherever it is they might be living. you don't use exactly the same techniques to approach them, but, they are so similar. and the idea that they are completely different
10:52 pm
phenomenon on... demonising and attacking a group, yeah. this was the fear many had that there would be some backlash, retaliation, something of that kind. let's talk about the telegraph. a different subject, inevitably that is their main story, but this was supposed to be the day when all the papers were expected to be leading on tuesday morning with a brexit talks. it's still there on the front page, just. a lot of papers lead on brexit because the attack happened so late. could not make it into today's papers. davis slammed the door on any hope of a soft brexit. is it as simple as that? looking at this, it is and it isn't. the telegraph have chosen to go in by saying, both david davis and the eu are making clear we are leaving the single market and the customs union. a lot of pro—brexit can say, of course we are. even philip hammond, the chief remainer in the cabinet, said yesterday, when it comes to be about
10:53 pm
is how much access you have. so this new relationship could do that? to me this is not rocket science. i'm slightly surprised, one of my collea g u es slightly surprised, one of my colleagues was in brussels today so i will hearfrom him colleagues was in brussels today so i will hear from him tomorrow, colleagues was in brussels today so i will hearfrom him tomorrow, but that it might take chilly end of october they say, to sort out the issue of citizens rights. eu citizens. that was supposed to be some way the easiest thing. but we are also expecting there is a suggestion that theresa may, when she does the brussels summit with other eu leaders on thursday, or friday, that she will go with this kind of big generous offer on migrants rights to try and win them over. maybe cajole slightly earlier. if we prop forward to the guardian, eu yields inverse negotiations... clearly there were concessions, on trade and all that. one of the
10:54 pm
reasons both david davis and the eu, on the eu side, they are trying to say we are clear it's going to be ha rd say we are clear it's going to be hard exit. they have to start somewhere. if there is still the possibility of the house of commons turning around, when there clearly is not a majority for hard brexit, thenit is not a majority for hard brexit, then itjust is not a majority for hard brexit, then it just makes is not a majority for hard brexit, then itjust makes the negotiating his nurse almost impossible to do. the basic fear of having one hand tied behind your back. going back to the telegraph, it's clear there are people and parties in the house of commons who are determined to do their best to ensure that it is not a hard brexit, or if it is hard, it's hard with a soft centre. maybe we need mohammed, the imam, to come in halfway through the talks and try and get them to calm down. let's end with the times. a couple of interesting stories, this want of russia threatening the raf in us air force jets after an american jet a p pa re ntly force jets after an american jet apparently attacked a syrian plane.
10:55 pm
that's right. all getting very located isn't it rushed up i won't pretend to be an expert but it was a syrian jet brought down by an americanjet. syrian jet brought down by an american jet. the first time in americans have bought down a foreign jet since kosovo. to write it off as the raf being under threat as a big extreme. there was a suggestion that the russians will be tracking planes. it goes back to this problem that russia is there with the syrian airforce, that russia is there with the syrian air force, cooperating that russia is there with the syrian airforce, cooperating with that russia is there with the syrian air force, cooperating with the syrian government. we and the americans have certain preferred partners who are in the opposition, but there are other groups that neither the russians or the americans are very keen on. the americans are very keen on. the americans on the british are a lot more robust on syria than they were in the past. i don't think the russians have any right to complain about that given the way they have been behaving in the past five years. it also reminds us of this hideous situation in syria, that is continuing. we have been so... it's
10:56 pm
not getting any better. let's end. how else can we possibly end? nobody is quite yet saying on the front page, what a scorcher, but britain bakes in the longest heatwave for 20 yea rs, says bakes in the longest heatwave for 20 years, says the times. yes, lance you were saying to me earlier, goading me as a representative of a brexit supporting paper, were we going to have to go back to fahrenheit after brexit? laughter i think i smiled. fahrenheit after brexit? laughter i thinki smiled. your fahrenheit after brexit? laughter i think i smiled. your paper has stuck with brown hype through thick and thin! we will all have to go back to fahrenheit. could that be in the great repeal bill? we will find out... if we do go back to fahrenheit, it doesn't make it any cooler! it doesn't solve anything. on that note, thank you very much. that's it from the papers. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — seven days a week at bbc dot co uk forward slash papers —
10:57 pm
and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. my my thanks to alison and lance. what else next but the weather. i'll be back at the top of the hour. for folks down south, the heat is really starting to get very exhausting now. temperatures got up to 33 degrees today. we have had five consecutive days of temperatures reaching 30 degrees or more. across the uk. it's been over two decades since we have seen such a prolonged spell of heat in the uk. injune, of course, it's been hard injuly and injune, of course, it's been hard in july and august. injune, of course, it's been hard injuly and august. but it's pretty unusual to get these sorts of values this early in the summer. no change tonight and tomorrow, as you saw there for the next three days, that hotair there for the next three days, that hot air keeps wafting in from the south. this is what it looks like
10:58 pm
around midnight. temperatures still around midnight. temperatures still around the mid 20s across some southern and central areas. a lot fresher further north. around midnight it's 11! degrees in glasgow, even that is pretty warm for the time of year. relatively speaking, this must feel a lot cooler and a lot more pleasant. tonight, we are going to see a cold front moving across the uk. that means the heat will be pushed further south, the hotair will be pushed further south, the hot air will be to the south of the weather front. two hot air will be to the south of the weatherfront. two bridges in london to cardiff probably a corridor of a roundabout 30, maybe even a bit higher to the north of that. we will see temperatures of say, 17 in newcastle but still made or high 20s there across yorkshire and the north—west of england. when space is a change. the weatherfront north—west of england. when space is a change. the weather front moves on from the atlantic. that will introduce cloud and summer breaks a brain, may be thunderstorms as well. difficult to say exactly where, the rest of the south and that hot air
10:59 pm
will once again be wafting in from the south. those damages are going to be creeping up potentially into the low 30s again across the south. still in the middle of this heatwave, for sure. wednesday, glastonbury starts, 29 degrees but looks like there will be a sharp decline in those damages as we head towards friday. thursday still very warm across the south and south—east. temperatures in the high 20s, but for many of us around 18 or i9 20s, but for many of us around 18 or 19 degrees. that process of slightly cooler weather continues into friday, but i suspect the south and southeast is going to stay on the warm side. goodbye. this is bbc news.
11:00 pm
i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 11. police are still questioning a man — in connection with a terror attack near the finsbury park mosque last night. he's believed to be darren osborne from cardiff. one person died, and 11 others were injured when a hired van was driven into worshippers near the mosque in north london. a minute's silence for the victims of the grenfell tower fire — as the number of dead has been revised again to 79. the brexit secretary, david davis,says formal talks on britain's departure from the eu have got off to "a promising start" and on the day yet another terror that, we have a behind—the—scenes look at a hospital dealing with a
