zr tie t2? «m rrrr wm ifii‘wffi' z-“afi' w1“? h~:~~"ff i‘“’ff h~fé’~">‘~'~'é i be a dodgy pop band and before you know it you are presenting a programme. now people can be famous for five minutes and they're gone. there is a lovely picture of him, nice to see you, to see you nice. so many catchphrases. you get away with being cheesy in a way that other people couldn't. joining in, the brits are so reserved and when he got you to call out, grown men replied to him. the secret of somebody who can last that long is that ultimately you felt like you had — he was being honest but it was who he really was. i think that's ha rd to who he really was. i think that's hard to fake that honesty and that's why he had that relationship which meant he wasn't smarmy with the audience. he was actually cheeky with contestants. he could be rude. but get away with it. that's the charm. the other thing to remember is there was a time when he got out of favour, towards the end of the 90s, and it was actually have i got

news for you that rescued him, turning up and presenting have i got news for you revived his career and got him on to strictly. in a way he owes, like boris johnson, got him on to strictly. in a way he owes, like borisjohnson, he owes his career to have i got news for you. maybe that's where their similarities end, i am not sure. he has provided us with a lot of laughs today. very sad. let's look at a couple of the newspapers and how they're reporting the aftermath of they're reporting the aftermath of the attacks in barcelona and cambrils. hunt for terror cell, it says. focus on africa as attack plan revealed but didn't get carried out. the photograph is of a little boy, a british boy, who is missing. still missing as is with the case every time a story like this happens and attack, people get separated in chaos, they pick tourist areas, therefore you are affecting the whole world. i think 34 different

nationalalities represented by all the victims or those injured in this attack. the fact that he has been separated just gives you answer idea of the carnage that was left by these men. also the more scary thing today was this wasn't plan a for them, they had plan a, plan b and c and didn't work, this was the most basic plan they had. they actually wanted to bring in gas cannisters and the damage they could have done could have been a lot greater. and the damage they could have done could have been a lot greaterlj think could have been a lot greater.” think it's interesting choice for the times to go with that and have a picture of bruce at the top and have this little boy's face. i was reminded with the manchester arena attack and there was an eight—year—old girl and we don't wa nt to eight—year—old girl and we don't want to use the word normal when it comes to these depraved acts but it's interesting there are echos of the same patterns that happen. it's the same patterns that happen. it's the same patterns that happen. it's the same as in the i, there is people marching saying we are not afraid and you are going to hear

echos of that in manchester and other places and it's almost like the same rhythm happens. for me one of the most shocking things is that one of the suspects, who i think has been killed, is only 17 years old. yes. a 17-year-old. you think in that time he has managed to grow up and feel like this is going to be something that he is willing to do and that level of criminal brainwashing at that age is shocking. the other thing that's interesting, most of these guys are moroccan and i think two of the london bridge attackers were moroccan, as well, this idea of north africa becoming a hub for criminal islamist action. there are two spanish enclaves at the top of africa, they're supposed to be places where there are extremists preparing attacks or certainly they're under the attention of the security services. which is

surprising because surprisingly it's a country not associated with islamist attacks and comparative democracies, etc. so the fact they're breeding these kind of people who are then doing such acts outside is very worrying. some commentators have been saying that the number of people involved is surprising because if it is a group that's been encouraged by is, they're saying, keep your numbers small, you are less likely to be detected and using vans and knifes and that kind of thing doesn't attract so much attention. they think it's a cell of 12 people and this is turned into an international effort now, all security forces joining together to hunt for these people. it's bigger. if you get to the point where vans and trucks are used, rather than planes, you can't really prevent that in terms of a security thing, it has to be about ideas, it has to be about intelligence, trying to get to them before. as a weapon you can't block

every road and a van is too common. the only way to do it is prevent it, that has to be intelligence, if it isa that has to be intelligence, if it is a network of 12 people have to know those people. the picture on the i you mentioned, we are not afraid, huge crowds and once again out on the streets having seen las ramblas deserted after that van caused havoc yesterday, that sense people want to say this is not going to change our lives. it is a pattern of seeing this and the defiance after. and the language of the politicians and mayors. you have to say those things but after a while they're not going to march and say we are terrified. they have to say those things. the implication it could happen anywhere is a worrying thing. couple of stories, a couple of pages about the departure of steve bannon from the white house,

chief strategist credited with helping donald trump to power. but his position has seemed increasingly precarious as $0 his position has seemed increasingly precarious as so many other people we re precarious as so many other people were dismissed from the administration. yeah, ithink were dismissed from the administration. yeah, i think there seems to be a link between doing an interview with anybody and getting coverage that's not donald trump's coverage that's not donald trump's coverage and then getting fired. the mooch, as you were saying last time, he gave an interview to the new yorker and got fired because he got too much attention. steve bannan gave an interview to the american prospect and got fired. i think donald trump doesn't like being, having headlines stolen from him in some ways. i think possibly he was feeling that bannon was getting too much attention which was one of the reasons he might have had to go. also there was a faction within donald trump's own wife, his son—in—law, others in the white house, who wanted him to go because it was seen, steve bannon was the editor of a far—right wing media outlet in america, he was credited with the rise of trump but also

associated with a lot of white supremacist violence we have seen and it's been reported he was one of the influences telling donald trump to take a more balanced tone and not come out and condemn the white supremacists for what they were. particularly having seen what happened in char lotsville. that's been damaging for donald trump and the mother of the woman who died in the mother of the woman who died in the violence is refusing to speak to him. maybe this is an effort... weirdly his ratings have gone up amongst republican supporters. the only good thing is if bannon starts being vicious, bannon versus trump is like batman and superman, but with two villains. who else did donald dump, which is better? you wonder what this is

going to do to this sort of mix in the white house? i feel unless you area birth the white house? i feel unless you are a birth relative or married into the trump family you can't really assume that you are safe. we will wait and see. finally, the times, page four. fears for mental health of gcse pupils striving for the new a double star grade. this is next year. all the gcses are going to be changed from being graded by letters into numbers. the top grade will be a nine. you are going to have to work superhard to get one. apparently eight is still an a‘. it'sjust another layer apparently eight is still an a‘. it's just another layer of stress. now an a‘ is not good enough, you have to get the top bracket in that a‘. have to get the top bracket in that a". the margins are tightening. yet it's a a". the margins are tightening. yet it'sa numberand a". the margins are tightening. yet it's a numberand it's a". the margins are tightening. yet it's a number and it's significant when you are young trying to get to university, etc. this comes in the

context of overstretched young people before profit's mental health —— young people's overstretched mental health services. is this necessary to add more stress to young people ? necessary to add more stress to young people? it feels immensely unfairto me young people? it feels immensely unfair to me that young people are under so much stress and even when they do well it's often said they're so they do well it's often said they're so much easier these days than they used to be. this is a move to make the exams tougher than they've been for a while. it seems like grade inflation in a sense, i personally think if you are going to change education make it feel like you are learning things in a more holistic way. you are actually understanding the subject. my worry is when i talk to friends with kids who are older than mine is there's so much pressure to learn the facts and to pass the thing rather than knowing things which a different thing. i feel this is getting you more stress but are you understanding the world

better? it's often said that children at school now, we are trying to train them to do jobs that don't even exist yet. how do we even know that we are teaching them the right things? i personally think that if you are going to get so stressed about something at that age you are going to have stress so much more as you are getting older anyway. i feel you should more as you are getting older anyway. ifeel you should protect youth more, rather than encouraging mental health issues at an early age that may get embedded for the rest of their lives. you have to test people somehow. it's difficult balance. everyone needs a little bit of stress and children do need to obviously try and achieve something to get to the next stage of their lives. i think i worked harder during my gcses and a—levels than i did at university. but not now, you are working extremely hard now. even at this time of night. that's it for the papers for tonight. don't forget all the front pages are online on the bbc news website, there for you

seven days a week. if you misthe programme any evening fear not, it's on the iplayer later on. thank you very much forjoining us. on. thank you very much forjoining us. up next it is the weather. hello. good evening. prospects look better for this weekend, it's hello. good evening. prospects look betterfor this weekend, it's not going to be as wet today. we have had a lot of showers and a few storms too. the worst of those clearing to the north sea. behind that this area of rain brought an end to the cricket at edgbaston. that same area of rain heavy heading towards east anglia, lincolnshire and out to the north sea. after that things calm down overnight, winds not so strong. we will have a few showers around, the rain clears from the north—east of scotland and we will keep showers mainly concentrated on the north—west and temperatures down to about 11 or 12. over the weekend we will find

sunshine, both saturday and sunday. the showers tomorrow will be fewer. largely dry on sunday, a chance of rain in the south—west later on. this is the start of the weekend, saturday sees showers, many focussed on the north—west of scotland early on the north—west of scotland early on in the day. some sunshine and and fewer showers for northern ireland, showers off the irish sea running into the north—west of england on to the pennines and the odd shower for wales. through the midlands and the south—east probably a dry, bright and sunny start. always likely to catch one or two showers here to the south—west but fewer than today and will be lighter. for much of southern england and south wales, maybe even into the midlands and east anglia, it's a dry day, the showers more likely further north and particularly focussed on scotla nd and particularly focussed on scotland into the afternoon. one or two heavy ones here and blustery winds. disappointing temperatures. glasgow and belfast, we could see some showers. the showers that we have will fade very quickly because we get this all too brief ridge of high pressure that will bring

clearer skies, complicated weather fronts coming in from the atlantic and we have tropical air in that. the remanents of that ex—hurricane across the other side of the atlantic. it threatens to bring patchy rain to the south—west of england and wales and perhaps later some rain into northern ireland too. at this stage it looks like further north into scotland, northern and eastern england, the midlands, should be dry and sunshine and temperatures 18—20. may not get a lot of rain with that tropical air but we see temperatures rising and the humidity rising briefly monday and tuesday across southern parts of the uk. but further north we still have rain for northern ireland, perhaps making further inroads into scotla nd perhaps making further inroads into scotland as well as northern england and wales, it's to the south that we have a little sunshine and higher temperatures. this is bbc news, i'm martine croxall. the headlines at 11:00pm: tributes pour in for the television legend sir bruce forsyth, who has died at the age of 89. it is nice to see you, to see you...

from the generation game to the price is right, sir bruce proved to be one of the most popular and versatile entertainers of his generation. when you think of bruce, you smile. as of his warmth, his charm, his sense of fun, the way he embraced you when you spoke to him. and that came across to the public, always. police in spain say the man believed to have driven a van into crowds in barcelona was killed, along with two other suspects, in a shootout hours later. it is thought a much bigger attack was being planned. chief strategist steve bannon becomes the latest high—profile aide
