will be in northern scotland, inverness getting to 16 or 17. elsewhere, cooler than it was today. monday brings a fair amount of sunshine, especially the central and eastern areas. the chance of showers gci’oss eastern areas. the chance of showers across scotland. thicker cloud and rain in northern ireland late in the day. windy in the west. most temperatures, compared to today, not very impressive. 1a or 15 degrees. that won't last. tuesday, a split in fortunes. rain for northern ireland, scotland, parts of north—west england and north—west wales, but further south and east we get sunshine, and the temperatures at this stage are likely to get back to 19 or possibly 20 degrees. that is a mere taste of what is to come later in the week. wednesday and particular thursday will see us bringing in this very warm air from the near continent. look at the orange colours spreading across the chart. how warm will it get? 25 degrees across the south—east, anti—of other places not too far behind. so what tomorrow might not live up to the brightness of today, there is a more spring warmth just around the corner. hello. this is bbc news.

we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. the us, britain and france have taken joint action for the first time in syria — bombing three chemical weapons sites with more than 100 missiles. the prime minister defends the use of british force as "legal and right", as four tornadojets were involved in the attacks. russia have reacted strongly to the strikes, claiming the attacks were a blatant violation of international law at a united nations security council meeting. and president assad says it's the aggression will make syria more "determined to keep fighting and crushing terrorism in every inch of the country". we are looking at rampage, an action film raised on the cult 80s video film. find out in the film at

review. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster and author natalie haynes, and rob merrick, deputy political editor of the independent. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the observer says theresa may faces a furious backlash from mps after ordering uk forces to join in with military strikes on syrian chemical weapons facilities, without having gained parliamentary consent. the sunday express says: a strike at the heart of evil — picturing a missile taking off. may's russian roulette, says the sunday mirror — it says the uk's braced for the revenge of president putin, who has warned about ‘consequences‘. the mail on sunday also
11:33 pm
pictures a missile — it has a comment from president trump, who tweeted ‘mission accomplished' following last night's raids. locked and loaded says the sunday telegraph, as president trump says he's ready to launch further strikes against syria's bashar al—assad. the people pictures the aftermath of one of those missile strikes, with the headline ‘we‘ll strike again‘. the sunday times focuses on survivors of a suspected chemical attack in syria. it pictures a 7—year—old girl who described the conditions she was caught up in. the syria missile strikes naturally dominating many of tomorrow's front pages, plenty for us to talk about with regards to that and what may happen next. let's start with the sunday
11:34 pm
telegraph. locked and loaded is the headline. thejury is telegraph. locked and loaded is the headline. the jury is a very good of —— from theresa may. -- from theresa may. locked and loaded it make people feel like crying. the lesson of history is that when the global road —— global rules that keep us under threat, it characterises her position. i imagine when everybody returns to the house of commons on monday, had a say, i saw one in favour of civilians being gassed, that doesn't mean you are in favour of people being bombed that she is making a good start at defending her position so good start at defending her position so in order to criticise or disagree with her, you would be on the side of somebody who gases people and indeed children. why do politicians and why will politicians on monday voice their anger over the decision
11:35 pm
of the military strikes when it is clearly that the breach of law in syria was far more horrifying. clearly that the breach of law in syria was far more horrifyingm has been a convention that mps are asked to give their opinion. they are given the right to vote before any military action and that has beena any military action and that has been a convention for 20 years since tony blair went been a convention for 20 years since tony blairwent in, been a convention for 20 years since tony blair went in, not in 2003 but in 1998. to mps have to have a say in military action? s no. the prime minister is not acting illegally in domestic law but there is no such thing as the british constitution. it is convention. —— understandably, they will be anger. the action last night was direct repudiation and the vote that took place in 2013 when britain elected not to blog syria is
11:36 pm
retaliation —— bomb syria. it has been overturned. the other thing to remember, it would be one thing is theresa may lead a government with a majority of 150. perhaps she would be ina majority of 150. perhaps she would be in a stronger position. of course, she lost her commons majority. she doesn't have a commons majority. she doesn't have a commons majority. the one group of mps who have had a say ahead of the bombing is the democratic unionist party. they would not have gone ahead without the support of the dup. it is one of the reasons she has cropped up in powerful stock if you are a labourmp, cropped up in powerful stock if you are a labour mp, —— in politics. cropped up in powerful stock if you are a labour mp, -- in politics. she might have been lucky that david
11:37 pm
cameron didn't get close on a vote in military action in syria. she is an much safer ground with the action has been taken. if she was to lose that vote, she would resign. it means that she won't lose the vote because the stakes are so high. if there is a vote held, she will presumably win it. we don't know whether a vote will be held on a government motion. the observer is convinced they will be problems for theresa may on monday. pm reveals legal advice on allied attack. trump hails his mission accomplished. we have been hearing on so many of them is the president trump about the decisions he has made that they wish more could have been done in america. there are, it has been looking like a repudiation of 0bama's drawing of a red line. specifically, trumpet‘s spokesperson
11:38 pm
has gone online and said that you can't cross the redline. 0bama ignored the redline. they are answering a different issue from the past. even from the observer, it seems like a mealymouthed quote. they should be criticised for her willingness to sanction action without parliament. priddis is is quite unique, really. —— criticism. -- is quite unique, really. —— criticism. —— is quite meek. quite unique, really. —— criticism. -- is quite meek. this is not even the sunday times, it is a girl that they interviewed, a girl of seven, that was caught up in the attacks.
11:39 pm
the sunday times and in northern syria and say they are the only western media organisation in there. they interviewed people. i don't think it really changes people '5 position on whether it was right to ta ke position on whether it was right to take part in a military action and the separate issue about the vote in parliament. nobody would deny the horror of what happened. almost nobody would deny that assad was responsible. they don't really need to be reminded, i don't think, that the use of chemical weapons has appalling effect stop it is more an issue about whether it will make any difference. a dubious as trumpet's" mission accomplished. —— trump. there is a quote from the director
11:40 pm
of the us military'sjoint staff. he admits there is still a residual element of the syrian programme that is out there, i am not going to say they are going to be unable to conduct a chemical attack. the military side of the americans are saying it is not really mission accomplished. nobody really believes they have wiped out assad's ability to use chemical weapons in the future. it will be interesting to see in the future if he does use them again. we have the inspectors heading to douma to see whether there were indeed chemical weapons used. i wonder whether the public and political mood might shift if there is more evidence. it is interesting. a fantastic opening to this article. what does it smell like? her clothes, it's not like chlorine. you would think this would be sufficiently powerful to sway people strongly in one direction or another depending on their response
11:41 pm
and political leanings was up i think we are so sceptical now of news. we are so sceptical that people are so quick to claim conspiracy. —— her clothes, it's not like swimming pools. like chlorine. -- it like swimming pools. like chlorine. —— it smelled like. like swimming pools. like chlorine. -- it smelled like. this is what a lot of people are worried about, i don't want to see people, our viewers, looking at social media, the russian threat and the times commenting on what the russian threat could need. we can be assured that if there is going to be russian revenge , that if there is going to be russian revenge, it will not be military. it was simply to be releasing embarrassing information that they may hold on members of the cabinet. who knows? it might reveal that borisjohnson is not always loyal to his wife, who knows? no one knows. if it is to release embarrassing
11:42 pm
members of —— embarrassing information about members of the cabinet. there is a great sentence in the sunday times story that says may will make the story on monday and will hold a vote only there is confident of winning it. i'm sure thatis confident of winning it. i'm sure that is the definition of democracy. after the thing has happened. this poll, only 25%. 28. 2896 after the thing has happened. this poll, only 25%. 28. 28% supported poll, only 2596. 28. 2896 supported the action. this poll is before last night's missile attacks, obviously. it could be a different result once the action has been taken. it is fascinating that the british public has turned against britain taking pa rt has turned against britain taking part in military action overseas will stop notjust in these circumstances but in general. it is the iraq effect and also libya were think there was support and then the whole thing went horribly wrong.
11:43 pm
there is not that these military actions can make any difference. robert and natalie, thank you for taking us through the papers. much more debate coming up in the papers. whether it was right or wrong that military action to happen. thank you. it will be happening again the same time tomorrow. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, natalie haynes and rob merrick. goodbye. good evening.
11:44 pm
hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases, jason sullivans is with me. jason, what have you been watching this week? jane, this week we go to chicago, where an angry ape is on the rampage and the gorilla does not look too happy about it either. let's find out why the rampage? it's based on the rock, dwaynejohnson's star power. we buckle up for a french tension of the highest order, custody, it's about a bitter divorce and a father and son are trying to reconnect, but can they? and our thoughts turn skyward for the titan, a secret mission to populate one of saturn's moons with human life. quite a mixed bag. rampage, what do you make of that? this is a monster movie mashup of every monster movie you've ever seen before. think king kong gorilla, thinkjumanji because it's got the rock in it, or dwaynejohnson as we must now call him.
