hulluuf w: wit?“ 'u ‘ur ii‘ul‘ei fwf f‘uilf: "u f‘u15 it"uiéi flllf interest in maintaining the status quo. while the headlines are terrifying, you wonder if it might eventually be resolved without things going horribly wrong. the only problem is that i bet none of theirwargames only problem is that i bet none of their war games involve donald trump being president of the united states. funny you should say that, the new one does. how does it end? was interesting, and added dimension. the times, saying that they are set to launch more missile tests. that will be the task for donald trump, if kimjong—un keeps upping the ante? i think he will, what stops them from doing it? people say he is crazy, maybe he is, but he has a clear focus, develop nuclear weapons to the point where he feels his regime cannot be touched. so far, people are shouting and screaming each time he does it, but nothing happens. really, what can people do to stop him? i would expect more missiles to continue to

be tested. that is in his interest. some analysts are saying his motivation is the more scared the rest of the world is of him, the safer he is. he doesn't want to go the way of saddam hussein in iraq or colonel gadaffi of libya. he doesn't wa nt to colonel gadaffi of libya. he doesn't want to be deposed and he thinks nukes are a deterrent? he kind of has a point. he apparently looks at videos of gaddafi's painful demise and sees that... and looks at what happened in iran, they had a nuclear deal to try to stop that regime from pushing forward with the nuclear programme. look at the power that such a small country, with such limited resources, that has been a pariah state for so long, and yet it is gripping the most powerful man in

the world. it is top of his agenda. he has got a point, unfortunately. you do wonder whether the trump dimension will actually break the deadlock that we have had to live with so long. let's look at some of the other stories. the times have a story about university secrets being stolen by cyber gangs? looks like the journalists have done freedom of information work, looking at the numberof information work, looking at the number of successful cyber attacks on different british universities. they say it has doubled in the past couple of years. i think it isjust indicative of the world we are now living in, where so much more crime isjust becoming living in, where so much more crime is just becoming an living in, where so much more crime isjust becoming an online issue. the really smart criminals, they are not going around robbing banks any more. they are doing this kind of work. you think of the wealth of information that universities hold, or all sorts of different issues, technology, medical research, anything else, there is a real financial incentive to do that kind

of attack. another university story, this is the head of oxford university attacking what they call pay lies of ministers? it is quite a long—running story. the various heads of universities being attacked for bringing home massive pay packages at a time when students are buckling under the debt they accumulate going to university. i guess it is like a fightback. the paper also quotes jo johnson, the university minister, well, not quoting him, saying he will announce plans this week to stop the upward ratcheting of salaries by linking pay to performance. it does seem like it is a bit of a spat. what is interesting is that the government took a pretty big pasting during the general election on tuition fees. it seems to be a big vote winner for jeremy corbyn. we might be seeing a pushback from the government,

saying, what would the students like to see us doing? one thing we could do is look at these massively overpaid vice chancellor is taking him so much money while the students are paying tens of thousands each year. professor louise richardson, who is saying this, from oxfordshire, is earning three and £50,000 a year, saying that they don't get much compared to footballers and bankers? well, which is true. they bring more to society. if that is the bar, people can get paid whatever they want! i'm not trying to support it, but you want to attract talent. if you want to get the best people in, you need to pay them well. the telegraph, again, just briefly, britain is losing its religion in the words of the rem song. the proportion of the non—believers is the highest it has ever been? i don't think it will come as a surprise to many people. britain has been moving in this

direction for a long time. it doesn't show any signs of changing. a lot of the most religious people in the uk now are people that have moved here from other countries. it's a rarity to meet very religious people in this country, and it is only going one way, i'm afraid. the sun have got a story about theresa may's government wanting the eu to hurry up with the brexit negotiations. that's quite interesting. the eu are saying, well, britain was very slow in triggering article 50 in the first place, and then there was the election that got in the way. it is us election that got in the way. it is us that have been dragging our heels, now we are saying it is them? they have ta ken heels, now we are saying it is them? they have taken the story from politico. we have these negotiations, where they go over, david davis, for about three days, they have an awkward press co nfe re nce they have an awkward press conference and then come back and talk among themselves. we are not

getting anywhere. britain has said, let'sjust stay here getting anywhere. britain has said, let's just stay here and keep talking until we get somewhere. at the moment, it feels like total deadlock. it seems a smart thing to do. both sides have to agree to it. time is running short, really. there is not that long to go. there is obviously going to be parliament coming back after the summer holidays tomorrow. they are going to be voting on various... it is the legislation around the withdrawal. it seems like theresa may is potentially going to be in a rough ride there, according to tomorrow's papers. can the eu hurry up, that is the headline in the the sun. the pm demands nonstop brexit talks? i'm not sure they will be nonstop?” don't think so, the eu does not do weekends or friday. it is a relaxed pace. britain has triggered this, and it is britain faces to lose at the most of it doesn't work. we are

the most of it doesn't work. we are the ones under pressure. that is why the ones under pressure. that is why the push for speed is coming from the push for speed is coming from the uk side. it is us that needs this. do you think the us eu eu will be amenable? you would hope so, it is in everybody's interests to get it sorted out. deborah, the big story of the day, kate's third baby. i was kind of thinking, in these times of great turmoil and huge events, stressful north korea screaming headlines, it is quite nice to get some happy news, happy, soft, fluffy news about another baby. before her. ifeel sorry for her, having the whole morning sickness. she had that with all three pregnancies. it sounds pretty horrific. i had my third last year. fortu nately, horrific. i had my third last year. fortunately, i did not endure the morning sickness, but i did have the

sleepless nights afterwards. it is quite a big sleepless nights afterwards. it is quitea bigjump sleepless nights afterwards. it is quite a big jump from two to three. any advice about having three? just endless patience. also, the older you get, the harder it is to deal with those. she will probably have more staff than you. a palace full of staff probably eases the pain. surely want to help your baby. delighted with the news of the baby? lam delighted with the news of the baby? i am completely indifferent. they seem i am completely indifferent. they seem like a nice couple, good for them. i seem like a nice couple, good for them. lam seem like a nice couple, good for them. i am not sure seem like a nice couple, good for them. lam not sure i seem like a nice couple, good for them. i am not sure i would seem like a nice couple, good for them. lam not sure i would put seem like a nice couple, good for them. i am not sure i would put it on my front page. would you put this on? jeremy corbyn, tahir and, apparently, with being vegan. —— toying with being a vegan. there is a bit on the telegraph as well. the times today lovelyjob. he was addressing an event at lush. he was

talking about how he is eating more and more vegan food. he says it is getting so much better. he went to a house and had a lovely vegan wheel. but he says, i am not going vegan quite yet. i can tell you why. i was speaking to him at christmas. do you have christmas together? frequently! you started talking about his love of cheese. he is passionate about cheese. he talked endlessly about different cheeses, he talked about smuggling it across borders so he could have his favourite cheese. the story says he is being held back from full vegan by his love of creamy somerset brie? hasn't held back at least four mps. a revelation in the times about how there are, at present, four openly vegan mps, all

of them labour. it makes you wonder how many closet vegans there are. do you think it is a vote winner? according to the article, and i take all of my information about vegan eating from this article, it seems to be about 500,000 people. but more ofa to be about 500,000 people. but more of a proportion of people are vegan than mps are. half a million, that is quite a lot? maybe this could make the difference. thank you so much for being with us. i give your time. thank you for your time. 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. good evening. it has been a humid

started a week but the story will change as we head towards the weekend. more on that in just a moment. hope you manage to enjoy some sunshine this afternoon. it was pretty limited, but look at the west midlands. 2a degrees this afternoon, 75 fahrenheit. there was quite a lot of cloud through the country, thick enough for some rain across parts of scotland. that has eased in the last few hours, but we are set to return through the night tonight across northern ireland and the scottish borders, north—west england and wales. to the south of the weather front it will be a pretty humid night. overnight lows of 15 or 70 degrees. fresh air trying to get in through the front, but it could take its time doing so. we start off with a little bit of cloud breaking up to some brightness in the south—east. the rain is fairly rugged, moving eastwards. behind comedies and spells of sunshine. not a bad

afternoon for scotland and northern ireland. a few isolated showers, a fresher feel, 13—17, but ireland. a few isolated showers, a fresherfeel, 13—17, but also accompanied with decent spells of sunshine. a weak affair by the middle of the afternoon, sitting across north—east england and wales. ahead of it, the odd spot of rain. if we get some sunshine we might see temperatures in the low 20s, and thatis temperatures in the low 20s, and that is the low 70s fahrenheit. generally, we are looking at about mid or high teens for many. then that will creep steadily eastwards. that will introduce the fresher air. 20 of isobars on the chart, basically meaning we are going to turn breezy and fresher. a fresh start first thing wednesday morning. a good deal of dry, quiet weather. look up the difference in temperatures, 16 or 19 degrees for the capital cities. as we move through thursday, we keep the dry weather across england and wales. signs of something wet and wendy are pushing into the north—west. that area of low pressure, with this front, sweeping south and east

through thursday night and into friday. it will bring with it a speu friday. it will bring with it a spell of wet and windy weather. some heavy rain to clear the way through england and wales, and then squally showers developing up into the far north and west. highs of 30—18. the tea m north and west. highs of 30—18. the team is going to continue —— the theme is going to continue, dare i say it, it will feel almost autumnal. this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at 11:00: the united states and china have failed to agree on how to confront the growing nuclear threat posed by north korea. after 10 staff are suspended at an immigration detention centre, a former manager says gas were warned about such problems three years ago. kensington palace has announced that the duke and duchess of cambridge are expecting their third child. and on newsnight we'll examine what drives kim jong—un,
