into the cabinet. by all coming into the cabinet. by all accou nts coming into the cabinet. by all accounts she is well liked by her colleagues. she was working as a disability is minister beforehand. now she takes the role as international development secretary. i think it will be really well—suited to her. i think there was a little bit of disappointment that there was not a wider reshuffle. there is concern about borisjohnson still reshuffle. there is concern about boris johnson still and we reshuffle. there is concern about borisjohnson still and we still have some of those allegations from the sexual harassment. we will talk about boris johnson in the sexual harassment. we will talk about borisjohnson in a minute. but john, the express has a picture of penny mordaunt in her swimsuit. that is the picture they have chosen to use, what do you make of that?‘ is the picture they have chosen to use, what do you make of that? a lot of this is why not? she went like this, but she is probably better remembered for her appearance on splash than anything in politics which is probably unfair but true. it was for charity which shows her asa it was for charity which shows her as a good egg to raise money for a

good cause. why not i suppose? but the express being the express are using it as an excuse to run a headline making a splash penny and slash foreign aid. something else they are very keen on and they can advocate on now she is in the job but i doubt very much it will. what she does is even up the balance of brexiteers and remain voters and also keeps up the female camp to the cabinet. the swimming costume is u nfortu nate cabinet. the swimming costume is unfortunate because of this international role where she will be visiting countries all over the world where modest dress is more appropriate. i'm sure it is very u nfortu nate appropriate. i'm sure it is very unfortunate and she would not think hurts in days would end up on the front page. we mentioned boris johnson, the other cabinet minister

who has been in some trouble over the last few stays. the mirror say, sack him, a minister on the brink. eating she is still on the brink? yes. there are such anger about his comments and i speak to her husband all the time and they are very concerned. he's misspeaking is very serious. the conditions that she is being held in our horrific. he did he did issue a qualified apology. he needs to explain those remarks at the very least. when he said she was theirtraining the very least. when he said she was their training journalists which have now been seized on by journalists in iran as guilty. he needs to explain that remark. his so—called apology was so half— hearted. so—called apology was so half—hearted. he so—called apology was so half— hearted. he said so—called apology was so half—hearted. he said i appreciate i

could have been clearer. it was abundantly clear what he said, she said she said was their training journalists. he did not say she was their training journalists, but he did say she was training... but those remarks were taken out of context... what context? teasing he can survive this? busy too big for theresa may to fire? she is still wedded to the idea that boris is a figurehead of books that and needs him because he has that power to draw people to brexit and keep people thinking that it will be ok. —— figurehead of brexit. right now she thinks he is in asset. and how many sackings can she afford right now? we now have the telegraph, i

suppose this goes to how strong she is at the moment, or how weak is she? the word in brussels is that she? the word in brussels is that she is being viewed as increasingly weakened... this is a move by the government to say we will not tolerate any backsliding here. we have set a date and time believing and that is it. she does not want anyone to create amendments to the withdrawal bill, she does not want anyone using that to slow the process. she is saying, we want to emerge from this is a strong, united government and we don't want any backsliding is. she is trying to assert her authority in a difficult time. even if this amendment goes through and we have the brexit date put into law. we still have to content with the fact of deadlock in brussels. we're not hearing any more positive noises from there. on that, also in the terror group, irish border demands threaten trade talks.

it is pressure now from another country, ireland is saying they want to know what is happening between the border. they want clarity on that before britain continues with the talks. we have the eu wanting to talk about the divorce bill, you have ireland wanting to talk about the border, and right now we are still in a position of stalemate. it is another headache for the prime minister. still on brexit. .. is another headache for the prime minister. still on brexit... it is ha rd to minister. still on brexit... it is hard to get away from it! what would you do without a?! the express is talking about our true brexit bill. this is done by a high—flying city a nalyst this is done by a high—flying city analyst who says the true cost of brexit per year is 1980 million. don't forget of course a week... a week, sorry. he says the actual cost

is 980 million. i suspect that figure will be challenged. to arrive at that figure he is thrown in everything but the kitchen sink. he has talked about adding the 12 billion a year lost to the exchequer of legal tax avoidance which would wouldn't happen if we were in the eu. he talks about the cost of migrants, a lot of people will challenge this, once the tax they have paid from the benefits, that is £30 billion a year for migrants. he's even throwing in the 2 billion that tax wastage of the eu foreign aid budget. many people argue that many of those things should not be in there anyway and what about the rebate we in there anyway and what about the re bate we get? in there anyway and what about the rebate we get? on to the metro, kevin spacey was once a hollywood icon, and now seems to be a pariah. he is cut out of this film only six weeks away from release. he has been

really edited and seminars brought into play his part. i do not have much sympathy for kevin spacey. the allegations are ongoing and he is being investigated. it this phone company had the means to write him out then you should do. how can you have a lead character with all those allegations hanging over them? that it's just the consequences of what has happened. i think they have made the right decision. it is probably a financial decision as well as a moral decision arguably because they do not want it on to lose money. moral decision arguably because they do not want it on to lose moneylj do not want it on to lose moneylj do not want to sound too controversial, i agree with you. but oi'i controversial, i agree with you. but on the other hand we still had woody allen making films and roman polanski is barred from america but he still makes films that people watch. you wonder... would you boycott harvey weinstein films?” probably would. i have spoken to other people my age who are unhappy with what has happened and it will

factor into decision—making about going to the cinema. they will not see a film where someone has been accused of sexual harassment. cinemagoers will make their views known and you may see impact on revenue. a quick word on the financial times, they have got prevent. the government's anti—radicalisation policy. prevent. the government's anti-radicalisation policy. this is anti-radicalisation policy. this is a interesting story. new figures show that 7600 referrals were made... one boy was nine years old. a lot of these referrals are by people in the teaching profession and not the police. they are spotting signs of youngsters who are perhaps showing tendencies. you will also have to point out that this is notjust people

also have to point out that this is not just people sympathising also have to point out that this is notjust people sympathising with so—called islamic state, but also neo—nazis as well. what they are actually doing... they can give you too much detail. also in the financial times, diesel getting a tax rate in the budget? the budget coming up on this 22nd of november. philip hammond has got a big decision to make on how he goes forward with diesel cars. and the idea is that there might be higher taxes. that might be a higher rate taxes. that might be a higher rate tax or a different levy altogether. or it might be a tax on point—of—sale, those are all his considerations for the budget which will no doubt interviews diesel car owners even more! just a show in a minute we will show original countdown. because bbc news 2a is 20 yea rs old countdown. because bbc news 2a is 20 years old today. happy birthday! you

have been around the scene for a time, it is always a changing landscape, but bbc news has been around for quite a time now. congratulations for having it around so congratulations for having it around so long. there was a lot of cynicism around at, who will watch 24 hour news? but it has been a great success, you news? but it has been a great success, you had a reach of 7 million viewers and you news channel of the year. you are very kind! the cheque is in the post!” of the year. you are very kind! the cheque is in the post! i mean it. thank you very much. i was going to thank you anyway, but thank you! that's it for the papers tonight. 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. in a moment i'll be back with the headlines and after the weather we'll show you bbc news 24's first ever countdown but for now thank you to kate proctor and john

sta pleton. goodbye. we seem to be getting all the faces of awesome in one day. it was a dull start across england and wales but then the cloud broke nicely. this was the scene in london late in the day. but all the while the northern parts of scotland had a blustery day and plenty of showers. that is the way it will stay overnight. the more significant change is in the south as the rain moves out of northern ireland and into the north and western parts of england and wales as well. generally speaking, until we get to commute time it will be dry across the south—east. but as you know it, just as you are thinking of stepping out of the door thatis thinking of stepping out of the door that is when the rain arrives. it

might bea that is when the rain arrives. it might be a damp start. i think the rain is like an a patchy for the most part. it will move away pretty rapidly, urged to do so by a north—westerly wind which will temper the feel of the day elsewhere. despite the fact that i will show you sunshine in the east, given the strength of the winds there will be a real edge to the day. plenty of showers and more showers and sunshine for northern ireland and certainly north and west scotland. again seeing very showery day, sunday showers running down merseyside and greater manchester to the north midlands in the afternoon. but you get a sense that many areas may see try. in the south it is not overly cold. but further north with the wind, those temperatures will feel chilly. through the evening and overnight, a wave on the weather front brings rain back into northern ireland and then down across england

and wales. gradually clearing further south, but it will take a long time before that cloud breaks up long time before that cloud breaks up during armistice day, saturday itself. the best of the sunshine is in scotland and northern and eastern parts of england, but the temperatures are struggling. the mild airfrom the temperatures are struggling. the mild air from the tropics are boosting the temperatures in the south of saturday. but as we move onto into sunday, remembrance sunday, the doors are open to the cold air to strain down. those isobars down across the whole of the british isles. the showers largely confined to the coast and you are often the ceremonies it should be fine but chilly. this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at 11pm: penny mordaunt becomes the new secretary for international development, replacing priti patel, who resigned yesterday over undeclared meetings with israeli officials. the appointment is the second cabinet reshuffle in a week. it comes as the government prepares

for the next round of brexit talks in brussels. the first minister of wales, carwynjones, defends his handling of misconduct allegations against carl sargeant, who is thought to have taken his own life. and coming up on newsnight: the former prime minister gordon brown tells us he thinks britain may face a crisis point next summer as the uk edges closer to brexit. scotla nd the uk edges closer to brexit. scotland is unstable and he
