isn'fi a diredt quo‘ite, problem. this isn't a direct quote, but the implication is, if there is a judgment that has been made of her it has come from people who are london based and have one particular view of the world. she represents rotherham. she says people don't see things the same way necessarily.” things the same way necessarilylj entirely things the same way necessarily.” entirely agree with that. we've heard lots about the north london group, including jeremy corbyn, etc. that is what she is pointing out. she is a rather remember p. she knows her constituency very well. the latest conviction which came a few weeks ago in newcastle. —— she isa few weeks ago in newcastle. —— she is a rotherham mp. she has spoken about this in the past. she isn't shrinking from the commons she has made. she has talked about the floppy left. she did on the today programme. that was on the same day of making the column which was published in the sun newspaper. london is very multicultural. it's
10:46 pm
not the same up north. she has been hit by both sides, which i think she accurately predicted. that was when she made the comments in the first place. but it is good to see she is sticking to her guns, i think. let's talk about kenya. the financial times... well, we will deal with their lead in a moment. but with reference to what the supreme court has said about the presidential election result. it is quite unprecedented, as they say, in africa, isn't it? yes, quite, and we are yet to hear about the basis of the decision. it has been declared null and void, the election, they will have to hold another one. i suppose the main fear really is what happens next. we haven't heard of any protests thus far. but obviously, around about 20 people died last month. back ten years ago,
10:47 pm
many people died in bloodshed there. we will wait to see what happens next. there seems to be a huge disparity between the electronic votes collected and account. you are now looking to a body, namely the electoral commission, who have now been discredited by what the supreme court says to oversee another vote, u nless court says to oversee another vote, unless they can change the make—up of it. it sets a precedent. there are two mapoe ways this could unfold. the violence is a concern. the country has a history of that. in 2008 it was an incredibly bloody election. —— two ways this could unfold. equally, maybe this process also shows a sense of democracy. but it isa also shows a sense of democracy. but it is a checks and balances system, which was set up for a reason, which is working now. that is perhaps the ideal outcome of this. it remains to be seen whether actually, and whether both candidates will be able to respect whatever decision is
10:48 pm
made. you need to put on your business hat now and talk about northern rock. yes, gosh. ten years ago. that might feel like a long time ago, but clearly the wounds are still very fresh. an awful lot of people were affected by the collapse of the northern rock bailout. the chairman of the association of small shareholders in northern rock is saying that these shareholders are demanding something back. they lost out during the bailout. they are saying that the government made millions, billions of pounds of profit from that bailout and they are now entitled to that. it's an interesting story. that anniversary is coming up. but equally a lot of the people affected by northern rock in this way are widows and
10:49 pm
pensioners now. those are the most vulnerable. not only that, we are living in an incredibly difficult time for consumer confidence. inflation is at a high. the pound is falling. we don't know where we are going in terms of the eu and brexit. this just sounds like a household savings story. the pound in our pockets feels more fragile than ever. if you were someone who was struck by northern rock ten years ago, then that is something you are still going to be reeling from. yes. talking about the pound in our pockets, petrol prices might be going up. not an encouraging story for motorists. not for long, though, maybe. yes, we think this is a short—term pain, hopefully. unleaded set to increase by 5p per litre. it would be more expensive than diesel to the first time in about a year. prices, they say a four—year high, i
10:50 pm
think it is meant to be £121 a litre. that is what the rac has said. what has happened in america is that these refineries in texas have been shut down as a result of hurricane harvey. that means they have not been able to pump out the fuel they need over there. america has had to buy fuel from elsewhere, meaning there is less for everyone else to buy, and prices go up as a result. fracking in the us is a big thing. there is still a huge reliance on petrol over there and this is an example of why.” reliance on petrol over there and this is an example of why. i think it will be short—term. it makes for a nice headline. it is scary when it feeds directly through to the consumer. oil prices, we are still in this historic oil glut. we have seen prices fall from above $100 per barrel back in 2014 to about half
10:51 pm
that now. there is a huge glut. opec has for years been trying to reach an agreement on a sustainable cap on oil production, which would be able to moderate prices somewhat. this might look like we are going to be worse off because petrol prices will skyrocket or whatever. but in a couple of weeks' time, once the full impact of hurricane harvey dies down, there will be some recovery there and these refineries should be able to reopen, as well. we are trying to pack in a lot in our last five minutes. the daily telegraph, front page, we have two versions. national trust is aiding hunt saboteurs will be the lead in england, at least. yes we have the scottish and english ones. hunting came back on the news agenda just ahead of the general election
10:52 pm
earlier in the year. after the may said she would allow a free vote on it in parliament. not much has been said since. well, it wasn't the queen 's speech. —— after theresa may said she would allow. david cameron did not say it because he knew he would not have the support. theresa may said it. it is an unpopular thing. theresa may said it. it is an unpopularthing. something theresa may said it. it is an unpopular thing. something like 800,000 people signed a petition against bringing it back. what we are seeing now, what we have going oi'i are seeing now, what we have going on his trail hunting, and now the countryside alliance and those who like hunting are very upset because they feel the national trust are not oi'i they feel the national trust are not on their side. there is going to be an annual general meeting of the national trust where they will vote
10:53 pm
oi'i national trust where they will vote on this, on an outright ban on national trust land. and a word about the scottish front page. this is to do with fishermen. they are threatening the smp with legal action. yes, they are being forced to land a certain amount of their macro captured in scottish ports. —— they are threatening the snp with legal action because they are being forced to land a certain amount of their catch in scottish ports. this comes against a backdrop of an already fierce battle between fishermen and the snp. nicola sturgeon's opposition to brexit isn't striking a favourable tone with them because they think brexit could be something which would help the industry. an interesting escalation. two minutes to race through three lighter stories. a pensioner wins a lawn prize after 60,000 hours of mowing. this is a
10:54 pm
fabulous story. it's incredible. stuart grindle, here, my favourite quote is from his wife, 74, who has to ring a bell quote is from his wife, 74, who has to ring a hell for his attention when she wants to speak to him. she said in his life there is golf, gardening, and grass. yes, a p pa re ntly gardening, and grass. yes, apparently he won a lawn mower but will continue to use the old one. if you have a sneaky long lunch at your desk will find you out in the ft. bit of big brother again. i hope they don't get any eyes in media. or westminster. banks are reflected. i am sure they will come up with some sneaky way around it. it is all to do with networking. and the cartoon in the telegraph. this one's
10:55 pm
powerful enough to suck the uk out of the customs union with a sign on the back saying eu banned vacuum cleaners. vacuum cleaners are not allowed to the over 900 watts apparently. the braves met the challenge. thanks very much. —— you met the challenge, well done. 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.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. we have stepped into the start of september on a fairly decent note. lots of dry weather on the cards. this is how we ended the day on friday. clear skies and dry conditions in devon captured by one of our weather watchers. if any fresh start of the weekend. plenty
10:56 pm
of sunshine on saturday followed by a soggy of sunshine on saturday followed by a soggy story for some during sunday. this is friday night into saturday morning. isolated showers across eastern england easing away. the odd heavy one down towards the english channel. light winds and clear skies is the recipe for a cool night. most towns and cities scraping double figures. in the countryside it could be colder with a touch of grass frost in countryside spots in northern england, northern ireland and scotland. there will be lots of sunshine afterwards. for most it stays dry and bright through the day. just a few isolated showers in eastern england, south wales, during the afternoon. more rain working in from the west. for scotland it's looking like a decent day. pleasant enough with the light winds. sunshine extending over much of northern ireland. there will be cloud particularly building in the west ahead of the arrival of some
10:57 pm
rain by the evening. moving south across all of england and wales, temperatures 21 degrees in the warmest spots. light winds. an isolated shower or two for eastern england. things change from the west into the evening. this area of rain moves into the evening. this area of rain m oves a cross into the evening. this area of rain moves across northern ireland through the latter part of the evening. then pushing into wales, south—west of england, and western scotla nd south—west of england, and western scotland in the early hours of sunday. further east will start on a drying out and it won't be as chilly first thing with the breeze and cloud keeping things warmer. moving through sunday come here is a front heading in from the west. meanwhile high—pressure still holding on in the near continent. that should keep things dry for most of eastern england and scotland but by the afternoon the front in the west makes its way gradually further east across central part of the country. patchy rain combined with a brisk breeze and temperatures between 15
10:58 pm
to 19 degrees. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11pm: ten people have been suspended after accusations of abuse and assaults at an immigration centre run by g4s. i'm absolutely disgusted by the alleged behaviour. it's totally unacceptable to me, to the organisation, to anyone else who would work in this kind of vocation. cardinal murphy—o'connor, the former archbishop of westminster, has died at the age of 85. at least 1400 people have now died, after heavy monsoon rains across large parts of south asia. and on newsnight, president trump releases images of the mexican border wall he's promised. we're on the arizona border asking if hes really prepared to shut down goverment to get it built.
