part of the dumping your letter. part of the border green agenda here. which is a good thing. good to have a green agenda. whether or not this is the right action to be taking i'm not sure. i'm interested that the male like the idea of people fined £1i00, presumably local authorities would have some role in policing that. usually when ever local authorities police anything the mail are the first people to criticise. there does appear to be a bit of a u—turn. all of us who see rubbish fly—tipped and want it stopped can't really ta ke and want it stopped can't really take much issue with something that might discourage it. what they seem to be saying is even if you employ someone to be saying is even if you employ someone to get rid of your rubbish, if it ends up being fly—tipped, you can be held responsible. if it means people take more care about who they have dispose of things for them, i think it can only be good. suggestion in the story seems to be councils do have already the power
10:46 pm
to prosecute for this. at the moment they are simply not bothering to use they are simply not bothering to use the powers because the fines are so small. yes, it's the environment agency ramping up this power that already exists. it's interesting in terms of, i guess it's another positive move from michael gove, who is really being seen as a bit of an innovator in that role. usually it's a bit ofa innovator in that role. usually it's a bit of a political backwater, let's face it. another headline grab from him really. certainly helps get on the front page. the devil will be in the detail once you find somebody £400 will you be able to get the money from them, what is the procedure? will it end up being somebody who's dropped a tissue on the side of the pavement or cracking down on the people it needs to? what is the burden of proof? will they say i dumped it properly, i don't know how it got from there to there, there are complications. moving on toa there are complications. moving on to a story that has been making a lot of headlines this week. a story
10:47 pm
your paper the guardian has very much led the charge on. the windrush scandal. the mirror in the morning has yet another case of someone from the windrush generation who found themselves on the wrong side of the authorities. they've been shamefully treated. i think it's difficult to describe just how angry people like me, who are descended from that generation, are about these cases. we've always been very grateful to oui’ we've always been very grateful to our parents for the opportunities they given us and we've always felt oui’ they given us and we've always felt our parents should get credit for what they've done for this country, and to see people in this position being treated this way is absolutely disgraceful. your parents themselves came over in those first generations. in that first generation. as i say, we know what they did for this country, we've a lwa ys they did for this country, we've always known that. and felt, hoped
10:48 pm
that everyone understood that. but government, i think what has happened here is it starts with theresa may and her hostile environment. then you have officials who might have used discretion feeling they couldn't use discretion. i think these people we re discretion. i think these people were seen discretion. i think these people were seen as discretion. i think these people were seen as being the path of least resistance, if we are callous towards them, who will care? the surprise for the government this week has been people did care. particularly our newspaper care, our reporter started writing the stories a couple of months ago now. there will be a equality impact assessment done on this and the potential problem was identified. it was either ignored or not put in front of the right ministers if you want to be more generous about it. the assumption, a lot of assumptions being, people didn't think they would speak up. absolutely. we should mention the story on the front page of the mirror, a grandmother had lived in britain for
10:49 pm
59 years and was blocked from returning after she went back to jamaica for a funeral. all of this is very difficult and embarrassing for the prime minister personally. really embarrassing for the prime minister. you mentioned the hostile environment, that is the key to it all. i'm really heartened... this grandma went in 2010 and hasn't been allowed back since. at least we are now telling the human stories around this. we haven't just now telling the human stories around this. we haven'tjust got amber rudd and theresa may on the front page because it's very important they understand these people won't be ke pt understand these people won't be kept quiet and are important. one repercussion will be theresa may in the conservative party and before her cameron and osborne they spent ten yea rs her cameron and osborne they spent ten years trying to make the conservative party a safe place for minorities to be, and a party minorities to be, and a party minorities feel they can vote for. and many would want to vote for the conservative party because they are
10:50 pm
of conservative outlook. this is probably doing about ten years of good work, they'll have to start again. on the same story, the financial times has a further development. there has been an additional problem because many of the landing cards were destroyed. the financial times says the windrush migrants cases have been backed by record in the national archives. the thing i take from this is... good on the financial times for finding is... good on the financial times forfinding that, i hope it's helpful. if they were able to know this, the home office should be able to know. if there are records we shouldn't be in this position. even if they threw out the records and the cards, then it seems to have been on back—up information and they should know that. it points to a failure to grasp this is a systematic problem rather than a few isolated cases. each side blaming one anotherfor isolated cases. each side blaming one another for whose decision it was to destroy some of the records of some of these people. and who
10:51 pm
will end of some of these people. and who willend up taking of some of these people. and who will end up taking the fall for it? amber rudd has been in the firing line quite a bit this week. i think we tend to forget because theresa may was such an arguably successful long serving home secretary that that role tends to be a political poison chalice really. because theresa has gone on to the topjob, amber rudd we were told last week was meeting with senior leaders trying to sort of secure her position but she could end up taking the fall for this. she's had a difficult day. we're reporting on oui’ difficult day. we're reporting on our front difficult day. we're reporting on ourfront page tomorrow difficult day. we're reporting on our front page tomorrow a memo she wrote some time before this to theresa may saying she knew a way to give the system more teeth so she could deport more migrants. she was the one who made the apology in parliament. she was position to come out of it quite well but i'm not sure she will now. let's look at this. a new hope for life—saving
10:52 pm
treatments. another rather unusual breakthrough. it sounds terribly exciting, tick saliva of all things could hold the key to treating conditions from arthritis to crohn's disease to multiple sclerosis. and reduce inflammation. the british heart foundation has given £1 million to this oxford university professor who's been researching it. it sounds really very exciting. but you know, with all of these things, quite a way to go. before we actually know... 7-8 years potentially we're told. the front page of the sun picking up a story i seem page of the sun picking up a story i seem to recall was in your paper this morning. we're always happy to help our colleagues on other papers. quick off the old block. prince charles met a britishjournalist, whose mum was from guyana, and he
10:53 pm
said to her, whereby you from? she said to her, whereby you from? she said manchester. he said you don't look like you're from manchester. which doesn't really seem to be a very appropriate thing for him to be saying. i don't know, maybe he's applying for his father's old position, travelling the world insulting and upsetting people. on the day he has been anointed as future head of the commonwealth it's pretty embarrassing position to find himself in. or it shows he'sjust the man for that job. clarence house have declined to comment on this story. they haven't denied it. they haven't denied it, they have declined to comment. following in his father ‘s footsteps. nowadays i think people look at some of prince philip's inappropriate comments and just smile about it. perhaps it is a bit more serious for somebody in prince charles‘s position about to
10:54 pm
be head of the commonwealth. it's jarring, casual off—the—cuff ignorance is the sort of which is not acceptable. it's a real shame because he spent the last four decades travelling the world and trying to engage with other cultures in hisjob trying to engage with other cultures in his job application for the head of the commonwealth. this one off—the—cuff comment has cast him in a rather different light. it seems to suggest he is rather out of touch. not for the first time. this is exactly the sort of thing that gets on our wick because you... we are british, but you feel all the while you are having to prove it to people at times you shouldn't have to prove it. you sound british but are you really. where are you from? where are you really from? it's the sort of thing that does irritate people who look like me but you don't expect it from the air to the
10:55 pm
throne. the guardian, one of many papers to cover arsene wenger‘s decision to bow out of the hot seat at arsenal. lots of different pictures. the many faces of arsene wenger here. the many guises of him. a lot of them pitch size, where he was always known for his gesticulating. i'm glad we're giving him the respect he deserves. that is a long time to be in the premier league. he changed it. he brought a lot more style to it. he brought a lot more style to it. he brought a lot more style to it. he brought a lot more professionalism to it. in a way, i'm a football man, west ham supporter, not an arsenal supporter, but the football we watch now in the premier league is of a quality that was partly influenced by him. he was an innovator, the first man to use data, to introduce diet. all the
10:56 pm
old — style data, to introduce diet. all the old—style boasting about how many lunches you had had, all that sort of thing, he knocked it on the head. all the people saying it's time he went up paying tribute to him. time to leave it. thank you both very much indeed. that is it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week. and if you missed the programme any evening you can watch it later on the bbc iplayer. thank you to claire and hugh. that's it for tonight, goodbye. it wasn't quite as hot today but there was plenty of sunshine. a view to many showers for scotland but for many of us the sunshine again, temperatures just shy of 27 in london. but where we have low cloud and mistand london. but where we have low cloud and mist and fog for the irish sea
10:57 pm
coast, typically here in cornwall, it was barely 10 celsius. generally tempered as will fall away anyway the next couple of days because we getan the next couple of days because we get an atlantic westerly wind. still a lot of heat in the south and east through the weekend which will culminate in some storms. through the night time period the mist and low cloud returns around the irish sea coast. mist and fog developing inland as well. should be a dry night. showers even in scotland. be chilly, three or 4 degrees here in the glens. temperatures will continue to fall away, because of that atlantic influence and the risk, increasing risk of the heat triggering thunderstorms. as we go into saturday there is mist and fog around first thing which would take around first thing which would take a couple of hours to clear. plenty of sunshine for scotland, northern ireland, decent day until late on. in the south moor cloud bubbling up. if you like showers initially but they too could become quite intense. like today tempered as in the high teens across the northern half, more sunshine for scotland and northern
10:58 pm
ireland, it will feel pleasant. but in the south we've got increasing risks of showers. it's likely we won't see as much sea fog for the irish sea coast of wales and england but instead we'll see some of the energy taken up by some storms brewing. sohail, thunder, lots of lightning, gusty winds, difficult to pinpoint exactly where they will fall but the progress will take them north and east as we go into sunday. it is behind this cold weather front we see it is behind this cold weather front we see that, finally see that warm air we've had off the continent disappearing. it's still around in the south and east on sunday. which does mean another warm day here. hopefully storms will have clear by morning and the main rain comes from the weather front, cold weather fronts trickling south and east. behind it lots of heavy showers into the west. it doesn't look as dry, bright or warm for scotland and northern ireland. further south, 22, 23 in the south—east, but could be a splash of rain for the weather front the afternoon. it could be one of the afternoon. it could be one of
10:59 pm
the warmest london marathon is on record despite not being as hot as it has been in recent days. this is bbc news. the headlines at eleven: theresa may promises ministers will to do all they can to help caribbean migrants treated unfairly by the authorities. the uk government will do whatever it takes including, where appropriate, payment of compensation to resolve the anxieties and problems which some of the windrush generation have suffered. the prime minister was speaking at the end of the summit where commonwealth leaders confirm the prince of wales will one day succeed the queen as head of the organisation. after nearly 22 years in charge, arsene wenger will step down
