the idea of a arrangement, the idea of a facilitated customs arrangement. keyline in this document here tonight says that this arrangement, we re tonight says that this arrangement, were it to be agreed, will remove the need for customs checks and controls as if in a combined customs territory. and when you read that paragraph you see in no place though the words customs and unions appear next to each other but if you want to describe it, and it was not politically awkward for you to do so, you may as what is called a customs union. i wanted to ask you about those on the right of the conservative party, the strong brexit voices who were beginning to perhaps show signs of being sceptical about what might emerge today. as a result of reading what has emerged today, what are we likely to hear from them, why have we not heard from them yet? there has been an attempt tonight for them

to not immediately en masse react and pick up their phones and tweet. because they wanted to give it some thought and work out what they really think and perhaps sleep on it. a couple have surfaced and expressed concerns are real concerns that they feel this does not amount to be brexit bay campaign for. there has even been talk of brenamo, brexit in name only. downing street did manage to corey grove the publication of this document, and the little clip we have seen of the prime minister, while the brexiteers were still minus their phones. —— choreograph.

so downing street got their argument outburst. it will be interesting to see when or how or if one of those names like michael gove or boris johnson decides to write something, ina johnson decides to write something, in a sunday newspaper, for instance, they might decide that a certain football match will knock them off the front pages, which made not beat their advantage if they want to say something strong but not quite create the waves they would on a conventional sunday for news. there is no doubt that night so far, the reaction for those campaigning for remains broadly positive and the reaction from those leave supporters who have come out and spoken has been broadly negative. that is because the prime minister has tacked towards a softer position. the languages or as a bit clunky, in terms of how you describe where she is, but a softer position in brexit than the government had previously articulated. —— language is always a bit clunky. you wonder if she had put out this language when she was

first by minister, issue would have lasted as promised as long as she had. she has taken her time to arrive at this position, and from her perspective and her time in downing street that has probably been useful from her perspective, but that is not to say that in the analysis of the detail, much like what you get after a budget, that what you get after a budget, that what downing street thinks is positive tonight mind not the, by monday evening, after the weekend papers and after the backbenchers have been briefed by government, or indeed when it first comes into contact with brussels and they have a proper chance to scrutinise the detail in the white paper. eight week moment for the brexit negotiations today and a big moment for the prime minister because of the absence of the negatives, no walkouts, no resignations, no government knock down. but the road to brexit still has some miles in its left yet. chris, good to talk to you, as its left yet. chris, good to talk to you , as ever. its left yet. chris, good to talk to you, as ever. that was chris mason. we will speak more on this subject, no doubt, will look at the front pages of the papers, but let's look at the weather forecast first. hello there. there are some changes

[10w hello there. there are some changes now for the outlook, that is later next week into next weekend. we will ta ke next week into next weekend. we will take a look at that later on, but for this weekend it is more of the same. on friday we saw temperatures in the strong sunshine getting up to 30 degrees, and we will get that sort of temperature across parts of england this weekend. it is going to be very warm, if not hot, and again it looks like it should really be dry. dry because of the high pressure, of course, and that is building its way north across the uk. it is going to drag some of that heat north into scotland and northern ireland. so the temperature should be lifting here. this is how saturday starts. it warms up very quickly, of course, in the sunshine, with very light winds. they will be some cloud coming and going. it may well stay at bit misty and cooler around some of the irish sea coast, but otherwise temperatures should be higher than friday to scotland and northern ireland. mid 20s, high 20s for england and wales, locally 30 or

31 towards the south—east. still got high pressure on sunday. squeezing into it, we have another one of these very weak weather fronts that is arriving in the north of scotland. that is this band of cloudy. foremost, it will be cloudier and cooler, with maybe a bit of drizzle over the highlands. otherwise, sunday is dry. good spells of sunshine, light winds, similar temperatures again on sunday away from the cooler weather we have underneath the cloud in the north—west. it could potentially get up north—west. it could potentially get up to 31 or 32, 90 fahrenheit, in the south—east, around the london area. as we move into the start of the week, we still have high pressure, but the centre of it is more to the west of the uk, so we rang down slightly cooler in this northerly flow. we are dragging down a bit more cloud down the eastern side of england, maybe a few spots of drizzle, not really going to wet the ground at all. further west, this is the best of the sunshine. the higher temperatures are being pushed down towards wales and the south—west. for the eastern side of

england, with more cloud around and the breezy and more from the north, temperatures will be quite a bit lower on monday. so, as we move into next week, it is not going to be as hot, but still with high pressure around, it is essentially going to be dry, tuesday into wednesday. again, you can see the airflow coming in off the north sea. that will drag in coming in off the north sea. that willdrag ina coming in off the north sea. that will drag in a bit more cloud for a while towards lincolnshire, east anglia, and the south—east. generally speaking, a fair bit of sunshine around, but those temperatures, at best, about the mid—20s more towards the south—west of the uk. on wednesday we may start to see a bit more cloud coming across scotland, around the top of that area of high pressure. still dry for england and wales. still quite a bit of sunshine. those temperatures will be nowhere near what we see this weekend. more co mforta ble what we see this weekend. more comfortable by day and also more co mforta ble comfortable by day and also more comfortable by day and also more comfortable by night. looking further ahead, high pressure still around, but it is just getting squeezed away towards the south. the

pressure looks like it will be falling further north and there is a big area of pressure not far from greenland which looks like it will stay there and its drawers in more ofan stay there and its drawers in more of an atlantic. that is across the northern half of the uk and that means it is cooler further south is still quite warm. it may actually warm up still quite warm. it may actually warm up a still quite warm. it may actually warm up a bit for southern areas as we head towards next weekend where it remains dry with pressure that little bit higher. further north, lower pressure doesn'tjust mean cooler, but maybe some weak weather fronts coming in and maybe a chance ofa fronts coming in and maybe a chance of a little rain. hello. this is bbc news with julian worricker. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines at 11:30. the prime minister announced that the cabinet has reached a "collective agreement" on the basis of the uk's future relationship with the eu after brexit. a diver has died in thailand after trying to help the 12 boys trapped in a cave. they've been stuck for nearly two weeks. detectives are still trying to find the contaminated item which exposed

a couple to the deadly nerve agent novichok in wiltshire. police say it could take weeks. preperations are underway in samara ahead of england's quarterfinal clash with sweden tomorrow. a 20—year—old man arrested on suspicion of arson over a major moorland blaze on winter hill in lancashire has been released under investigation. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the columnist for the daily mirror, susie boniface, and the brexit editor for the daily telegraph, asa bennett. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. one story dominates. theresa may's announcement that her cabinet has reached a collective agreement on the basis of the uk's future relationship with the eu after brexit.

let's start with the times, which leads with theresa may promising senior allies she will sack foreign secretary borisjohnson if he undermines the brexit deal. the financial times highlights the five cabinet ministers, including borisjohnson, meeting on thursday night to plan a counter—attack to preserve a clean departure. cabinet signs up to may's brexit, says the telegraph, as her 16 ministers agree the plan to keep close ties with eu after a day locked away at chequers. the mail leads with theresa may's warning that settling for a soft brexit could cost the conservatives the next election. and the mirror leads with england captain harry kane's band of brothers, as the national team prepare for their crunch clash against sweden in the quarterfinals of the world cup. so, brexit and football for the next

little while. we will kick off with you, the telegraph, your paper. a very straight—line sort of account of what has gone on, simply the fa cts 7 of what has gone on, simply the facts? absolutely. there are so many fa cts facts? absolutely. there are so many facts to chew on. if we find the deal that theresa may has got cabinet approval, it is a deal david davis thought would be unworkable, it isa davis thought would be unworkable, it is a deal that borisjohnson when reportedly speaking to david cameron last night said would be the worst of both worlds, it is a deal that nick clegg, remain that he is, said should be put out of its misery. and it is happening anyway. so you could argue that everybody is it the grumpy and that makes it an ideal compromise, and in the time since we we re compromise, and in the time since we were last now, i have been in conversation with various tory mps, absorbing the details, the brexiteers are fuming, basically, about this deal, saying that it is the fault of theresa may for falling

foul of the" rasputin", oliver robins, and saying that senior —— ministers live in aid of all. a senior tory remainer said it was a bit weird, he called it "pretend sovereig nty", bit weird, he called it "pretend sovereignty", because one of the parts of this customs plan is that the eu will harmonise or align with regulation with the uk. so the concession is that we get choice, but we are still pretty much obliged. the choices that we can either align, all we are completely screwed. at the choice. it is mad. you control into the detail if you really wa nt you control into the detail if you really want to, but fundamentally, what has happened here is that a prime minister who has lived a very shaky throughout the premiership has managed to survive in the job for two years. the tories, who have argued amongst themselves for two years, have been forced into a public agreement. we now have nine months until brexit because some bright spark decided to put a

deadline on that. and this is only a suggestion of what we go to the eu with, and they might yet reject it, and we will have to do all of that in the next nine months. the impressive thing here is that she has actually managed to force them into some kind of semblance of agreement, and that she said at the bottom of this document, collective responsibility is now restored. it was in black and white so it must be a fact. have there been quite strong arm tactics going on, do you think? they took off their phones today,. normally, the idea of a prime minister having to have a summit with her own cabinet to get them to agree with her would be an indication that the government is about to fall and we will have a general election any moment. post—brexit this is just a normal friday. they have in having these meetings at chequers for two years, fundamentally. — — meetings at chequers for two years, fundamentally. —— been having. she took their phones off them when they we nt took their phones off them when they went in because they have been leaking against errant plotting

behind her back, even in the pages of the newspapers to some extent, then she put this statement out of seven o'clock while they were still having dinner. she has guaranteed the newspapers tomorrow and the bbc and the news channels will report this as a victory for soft brexit and the prime minister. we are now ina and the prime minister. we are now in a position where when boris gets his phone back and he can ring up the telegraph and tell them what to say, it is only going to be in the wa ke say, it is only going to be in the wake of a world cup match, which will not get as much coverage, depending on how that goes, and if he has threatened to resign, and hasn't, and now if he does want to resign, tuesday afternoon is not going to be as dramatic as today. he has left it too late and the moment has left it too late and the moment has passed. so now they are stuck in the tent and still can't get out. so she has forced quite a good victory here. this photograph the telegraph users, you're not the only ones, the ft used it as well. —— uses. clearly no photograph is putting out from something like this without their being plenty of thought behind it. here we have the prime minister on

her feet, here we have the prime minister on herfeet, in charge, the rest of here we have the prime minister on her feet, in charge, the rest of the cabinet sitting down and listening intently. that is what they want. yes, they are all coming to listen to theresa may giving them the hard facts. so despite the reports last night, which sent many reporters' heart is a flutter, about late—night plots and all sorts of things that might happen, downing street have been really bowled since the morning, actually, with officials putting it out there, literally calling ministers narcissistic and leadership assessed, and saying if they want to go, there is a taxi waiting for them and they are more than welcome. —— leadership obsessed. it is very interesting, in my view, at 7pm they were doing that breathing. there was an hour of confidence, that ministers were not going to turn around by ten o'clock and ruin everything. —— air of. they believed that boris and the brexiteers were definitely in the bag and would not go live on the news to announce they were resigning. it shows they have staged managed this to a tee, but will it come unstuck next week? let's find out. let's race through some of the

others. clearly some of the other papers have a different view in advance and still do. daily mail isn't happy and makes particular reference... is it ever happy? it makes particular reference to a poll chu which it thinks theresa may should worry about because it thinks that tory voters might abandon her if this is deemed to be too watered down. 5296 52% of voters voted one way, the rest the other. theresa may's job is to keep everybody happy, notjust one side or the other. the fact is that we can say she has stage—managed this and railroaded and strong armed but there was never going to be an option about what she had to do with brexit. if you were going to leave, you had to still trade with them because it is the biggest trading bloc in the world and if you want to trade to them you have two adopted those rules. when you leave you cannot influence those rules. what theresa may has managed

to do is into a position where the ha rd to do is into a position where the hard brexiteer is have to accept it. they do have to say it is there. but only by accident. is suddenly the clock is ticking and then all of a sudden all the! theresa may is a safety first prime minister because she wants a deal. given the way she has been able to dump on brexit is like this continually and they have been happy to sit there and take it, she is inching towards michel barnier's preferred line. brexit supporters are being grumpy and they do have reason to be because they could argue this — now that the reason it has been useful to michel

barnier, what happens if next week he turns round and changes his mind? and she will need to cave in more. she will then accept things like the euro, maybe. the hat would be interesting. on the front page of the ft, made wins backing for soft brexit. a positive view from them. also discussing the fact that mr johnson and other eurosceptic ministers were told they would be unable to use their official cars to make the journey back to london if they quit. this is another that of tough talk beforehand. sources briefing that if they were to resign at chequers they would have to leave their ministerial cars. there is a two mile travel drive at the bottom of which are journalists wanting to ask you questions. it is a long way to the train station. and the taxi company is unavailable. that was not going to work. there is talk about what we should and shouldn't do and brexit has the big business friendly

or it will not happen. the problem that conservatives have is that if they gave the hard brexit supporters exactly what they wanted with no customs unit, no immigration, no nothing, no contact with the eu after this, then you would have had some sort of economic problem. and whatever size it was, the conservative party would have been blamed for that. it would not have been the will of the people, the people will blame the tories. a train to reject their own reputation. they are not resigning because they put party before themselves. i agree in many ways. you can have theological disputes and they will have those over the next few days, but when it comes down to what is deliverable, this is what theresa may is prioritising because you can split hairs about custom unions and how few are it is... it's a union for customs. that is... it's a union for customs. that is different. voters just

is... it's a union for customs. that is different. votersjust want brexit to happen. they want to get on with it. they're not going to be marching in the streets over the common external tariff. some people do bring theirjohns but they are not so hung up on the nitty—gritty. they want food on the shelves after brexit date, they want little britain and a positive message to look forward to. a final observation, the times is focusing on the role of borisjohnson again. how much does he matter above all other figures how much does he matter above all otherfigures in terms how much does he matter above all other figures in terms of what he says and does? he is the talisman of brexit. he is the person... in this case he is, the talisman... what was i saying? if he is there, he is the

made in india tower for brexit. if he leaves it is doom and gloom and vast. when he joined a vote leave, vote rs vast. when he joined a vote leave, voters thought that it might be quite good. that it was appealing and attractive. if he is still on board, theresa may knows that voters will still... he has tasted himself into a corner. he is now the extreme brexit candidate and the principal opposition that she must deal with inside the party, even though he is nowhere near being a contenderfor leadership. he has painted himself ina leadership. he has painted himself in a corner. can appeal to the remaining site, he cannot appeal to the mainstream, he appeals to a small and hard—core wingnut on the backbenches, being the only people who would support in. and he has not resigned. his red lines have been crossed yet he is yet to resign. he has been forced, more and more, to accept things he said he would never accept. let's duck inside to

chequers. susie, your paper takes us inside... i don't know which room, but it is a grand looking room, clearly not the small study at the back of the house. i think it is what you may refer to as a reception room. interestingly, they are gathered in the little groups and some have their jackets gathered in the little groups and some have theirjackets off and some don't. boris is there an shirtsleeves. there is no air—conditioning thereat chequers. it has been 30 degrees today and you can see in the corner that one of them windows is open a tiny crack. and we have seen what they have been eating marmalade bread and butter pudding. it is glorious. to have it in the depths of winter is when you

appreciate that sort of thing, not when it is 30 degrees injune! surely they should be eating strawberries! she has fundamentally, she has put them into a place, the only building in the country with no air—conditioning. has locked the windows, taken their phones away and sweated them until they gave in. takeis sweated them until they gave in. take is the best piece of work in the times. this is the game... no, it is definitely the times. how to beat sweden. and ikea inspired guide. get the ball in the box, build a strong ball, give it to harry came. we need determination patients and a free saturday afternoon and of course it is coming home. —— determination, patience and

a saturday afternoon. it is missing a saturday afternoon. it is missing a basic and fundamental part of the instructions here as every set of flatpack furniture does which is to bring dier is in doubt. that this is what football in britain should be about. we are playing a friendly, gentle, mocking elimination. it is not jingoistic gentle, mocking elimination. it is notjingoistic or abusive. it is interesting, the coverage. is it because we, england, are playing a country that people are generally fond of? because we are playing... if we were playing a country where

there was a little more history... we do have a lot of history with sweden. quite a lot of rape and pillage back on the viking days. but something more recent, like germany, i think there would be more jingoistic front pages but it would still be relatively gentle. not any serious... there would be a little but not much. there may be a serious tone if we were to face russia in the semifinals because there is a diplomatic work. there is all sorts of headaches with that. we would send the government scientist to witness that and we make sure they wear gas masks. finally, talking about the son, talking about the weather. great british bake, on the

brink of a hose pipe and. the weather in the office... they do have some excellent air—conditioning at the telegraph. they do it need to wear suits and ties every day. nashma they do need to wear suits and ties every day. at chequers they also have a remarkable swimming pool and they were not allowed to use it. iimagine and they were not allowed to use it. i imagine they were wishing it could bea i imagine they were wishing it could be a pool party at the end to celebrate the deal. the idea of them and getting drunk and going swimming is not a fun idea. but there is no mention of england's football match. isn't that odd? i'm sure there is a lot of stuff on the inside and remember what we have had over the last few days is nothing but football, not news because nothing has happened but yes, everybody is interested. there has been a lot of pretty actions and that has filled up pretty actions and that has filled upa lot pretty actions and that has filled up a lot of copy. i'm sure though i

—— they will have a great joke up a lot of copy. i'm sure though i —— they will have a greatjoke if up a lot of copy. i'm sure though i —— they will have a great joke if we win. if you miss the programme on any evening you can watch it later on the bbc iplayer a. thank you both for joining on the bbc iplayer a. thank you both forjoining me. a baking hot day once a again on the way. scorcher across the south of the country and temperatures in london could reach around 32 celsius, quite hot indeed for pride. the weather will be hazy across the uk during the course of saturday so

we are not necessarily talking about clear blue skies. in some areas for retirement may turn overcast. as far as the short term is concerned, a few late showers around parts of the midlands that have fizzled away now that are muddy and warm night with temperatures around 20 degrees. some coastal areas may be on the cloudy and murky side. and then it starts sunny, with fairweather developing. some coastal areas will see cloudy weather. 30 degrees easily tomorrow, possibly even 3132 and a couple of spots in the south is across northern parts of the country, a more comfortable mid—20, hot enough still in the sunshine. through the weekend the high pressure is in charge of the weather in the south but we also have a weak weather front getting into the north—western parts of scotland here. that means fresher conditions, maybe some spots of rain. dista ntly

fresher conditions, maybe some spots of rain. distantly cooler here for our friends of rain. distantly cooler here for ourfriends in the of rain. distantly cooler here for our friends in the western isles whereas basically from the lowlands southwards it will be much warmer on sunday. temperatures exceeding 30 celsius across the south of the uk. a hot day at gain on the way for sunday. monday will be a hot day as well but overall the models are suggesting that it will turn a little less hot. i do not necessarily want to use the word cooler because temperatures will probably just cooler because temperatures will probablyjust dropped to average, briefly. and that is because we will see slightly less hot air now coming m, see slightly less hot air now coming in, coming off the atlantic and that will push hot air further south into the continent. year it it will be in the continent. year it it will be in the high 20s and by the time we get

the high 20s and by the time we get the tuesday and wednesday we will be losing those high 20s and we will be mostly thing seemed to 2a losing those high 20s and we will be mostly thing seemed to 24 quentin —— seeing scenes of 24 so it will essentially be remaining hot. this is bbc news, i'm duncan golestani. our top stories: a brexit breakthrough. british cabinet ministers back the prime minister's plan for leaving the european union after intense negotiations at her country residence. this is a proposal which i believe will be good for the uk and the european union, and i look forward to it being received positively. rescue teams in thailand succeed in getting an air line to the cave where 12 boys and their football coach are trapped, but there'll be no rescue attempt in the next few hours. china retaliates after the us imposed tariffs worth $34 billion, accusing washington of starting the largest trade war in economic history. and brazil are out of the world cup.

belgium beat the former champions in a thrilling game. they'll play france for a place in the final.
