9:35 pm
viewers that the general point being made by the former conservative leadership candidate was a fair one. another viewer recorded this video for us with his thoughts. please, bbc, can you rein in your presenter? she needs to learn how to hold a civil conversation. most of her subjects are subjected to insulting interjections. i do not love politicians but i have to commend them for holding the temperature during one of her interviews. she interrupts so much that no one ever gets their answer out. that does not allow the viewers to make a judgment of what they are trying to say. the interview is therefore pointless. the editor of newsnight is here with us. the reference that andrea leadsom made to patriotism has been mocked.
9:36 pm
but some people say the coverage has been negative. i thought it was an excellent interview. i'm sure some viewers would agree with these complaints but the majority of people who saw it will think that calling an interviewer unpatriotic when there's awkward questions is somewhere between hilarious and sinister. it happens in moscow and beijing but not really in a place with a free media. andrea leadsom went on to say that she was not calling her unpatriotic. you only have to watch it. the viewers that you have reported the complaints of would make the point that it was fair to call emily unpatriotic. newsnight is good at turning around these interviews as a social media clip to go viral, but watching it back on the whole,
9:37 pm
do you not see why many viewers felt it was heavy—handed 7 if you are making a point about partial extracts from an interview and how some of those can gain circulation outside the context of an interview, that is an interesting one and one we need to think about because sometimes you will have a minute long fragment from an interview they get seen by many people outside the context of the interview. this was a classic accountability interview. it is a momentous issue. it is about the future shape and relationship of the country with the continent and it is right that she conducted a tough accountability interview. we understand that politicians need to be brought back to answer the question,
9:38 pm
but there was a lot of interrupting there. one viewer said it was frustrating not being able to hear andrea leadsom finish her answers. interrupting is a very fine line. i have sympathy with the viewers that feel that sometimes we interrupt to much. —— we interrupt too much. we're all subjects of fairness of allowing them to set out their case. there are lots of interviewees who come into an interview with the aim of filibustering their way through it and sticking to two or three homilies. in this case it was supposed to be a 15 minute interview to do with when she was able to start it, but ended up only being 7—8 minutes. the interviewer is under pressure to keep the interview moving along and to address all the questions they are trying to address in the interview.
9:39 pm
there were complaints about another interviewee emily did with the prime minister. here is a clip. we are yet to find out what the cause of the fire was. you could have stopped it spreading by spending £2 more on the cladding. the fire service are looking at what the cause of the fire was and it is important we find out what happened. you were recommended this in 2013. the coroner said that you could stop it with a sprinkler system. she seemed to be putting blame on theresa may, in terms of using the word you, that was seen as unfair. the figure of speech was, you could do this, as in one could do this... "you could have spent £2 more."
9:40 pm
it is the same way as you say, you can get up... some of that focused anger should be directed at the right people. the prime minister is the leader of the conservative party, it was a conservative borough, there are responsibilities that they have as the leader of the party that runs the council. in that particular case, i don't think the emily that she personally close the cladding... what you think she said is not what viewers think they got out of it. some viewers construed it differently but i do not think they are the majority. tone is very important and many viewers said it came across as angry and emotional. should they not remain calm and measured? it often is. one of the responsibilities
9:41 pm
is to channel the questions that the viewers would want aston a particular situation. —— that the viewers would want asked in a particular situation. on that friday, emily brilliantly channelled the questions and the mood around the handling of the aftermath of that disaster. there were two very good interviews there. there was plenty of coverage across the bbc last weekend of the glastonbury festival and it made it onto bbc news, courtesy of an appearance byjeremy corbyn. around 14 minutes of the speech given by the labour and was covered live on the news channel, prompting one viewer to comment: thank you for all your comments this week.

9:43 pm
in the next 2a hours. the satellite shows weather systems to come in over the atlantic and another front pushing its way southwards as we go on to the early hours of sunday, across england and wales and that could bring with it a few spots of rain to start the day across the south of the country. otherwise, still brisk winds affecting scotland, gale force winds are possible from the start of the day. the wind will ease, but stay breezy across scotland. showers could be there as well. elsewhere, cloud will tend to thickedn up and just like saturday we will see some sunshine coming through, with temperature similar to those on saturday as well. highs of 18.
9:44 pm
this is how we start the working week. for most of us, it will be quite weather day. sunny spells around, temperatures average for the time of year and a few showers to watch the south—west. the weather will be getting more interesting into tuesday. the area of high pressure is set to drive into central areas of the uk, bring wet weather. 20 to 30 millimetres of rain from this weather system as it drives across northern ireland, perhaps wales and southern scotland and england. but, looking out into the atlantic and the jet stream, you get what's called a trough disruption happening just to the west of france, with on area of the jet stream bending down towards

spain and iberia and another moving to the north of the uk, and a slant. that means we end up in a slack son of weather, quite winds and the weather will become so moving. the much of him or for that weather front is still there on wednesday, so it is he reached itsy a few showers popping up as the seat belt through the day. it could become warm towards south—east england as the wind starts to bring in warmer air from the near continent. that continues through thursday, with temperatures pushing to the mid—20s and perhaps even the high 20s for some. we may will start to see some thunderstorms breaking out in northern france and they could drive northward into uk on friday. next weekend, it looks likely the jet stream will began to buckle and bend again, spreading in some atlantic air across the uk. temperatures will be coming down but high pressure over france will bring some relatively warm air towards the south—east of england. iraqi forces say they've captured so—called islamic state's main base in mosul, and a final victory is in sight.
9:46 pm
after eight months of intense fighting, they have is in retreat, but the battle for the militants‘ last stronghold in iraq isn't over. after the grenfell tower fire, ministers promise to keep a close eye on the local council, but won't appoint independent commissioners — for now. the lions win a thrilling battle against the all blacks to tie the test series, with one to play.
