10:30 pm
the heatwave continues and if anything the temperature will rise even further but not for everybody. really high temperatures, as far as the speaker is concerned, concentrated across south—eastern and eastern parts of the country. one of the other reasons we are not getting an awful lot of rainfall is these weather fronts you can just about see, streaks of cloud are very weak, failing to reach us, cooler air it in the atlantic ready to tuck into north—western part but ultimately, across more southern and eastern areas it is the heat that will wind from the south, and this pattern is likely to be with us through the whole week. so starting with the evening and into tonight, in the north—west of the country we have these very weak weather fronts that are moving in bringing a little bit of rainfall to western scotland and northern ireland and maybe a few showers, the warmth that this time coming from the south, 20 celsius overnight low in london and still very warm in belfast, 17 the
10:31 pm
starting temperature on monday. here are the weather fronts, behind me, the fresh air trying to tuck in the warm winds, and much of the country, certainly england and wales, in that heat, so the temperatures exceeding 30 on monday in some areas, scotland and northern ireland fresher but still very warm in aberdeen, up to around 24. these weather fronts do not make much progress, stalling around about here, and this is the pattern on tuesday, one weather front here and another here, and they are very weak. it is the cooler air trying to come in with those weather fronts, again air trying to come in with those weatherfronts, again on air trying to come in with those weather fronts, again on tuesday, but the heatjust keeps on winning, so but the heatjust keeps on winning, so much of england and wales in the hotair, so much of england and wales in the hot air, but particularly hot over the east and east anglia and the south east midlands, the temperature on tuesday in some spots could get up on tuesday in some spots could get up to 32, even 33. compared to the
10:32 pm
fresher conditions in belfast and glasgow, around 20, and look at that, we could keep the 30s and the south until the end of the week, perhaps cooling off a little bit into the weekend. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines: the brexit secretary says a deal with the eu can be reached by october if brussels shows ambition but dominic raab says the government is prepared for the possibility of no deal. hundreds of volunteers from syria's civil defence force, known as the white helmets are rescued from a war zone in southern syria. they are safely in jordan police want to speak to three men, following an acid attack on a three—year—old boy in worcester. the police watchdog is investigating allegations of serious corruption and malpractice at the metropolitan police's own anti—corruption unit.
10:33 pm
millions of virgin media customers lose access to ten tv channels provided by the broadcaster uktv, following a row between the companies over money. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the author and broadcaster, natalie haynes and rob merrick, deputy political editor of the independent. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the times quotes the head of amazon in the uk — saying there could be civil unrest within two weeks if britain leaves the european union with no deal. the i says controls on food imports could be suspended
10:34 pm
if the uk can't reach a deal. the financial times says brussels has rejected uk proposals on how to govern the city of london s access to the european market after brexit, access to the european financial services plan would rob the eu of its decision—making autonomy. the metro carries a story we've covered today of a boy of three, who's become one of the youngest acid attack victims in the uk after he was burned while on a family shopping trip. the sun leads with the same story, saying police are looking for three men in connection with the attack. the guardian reports that according to whistle—blowers, the universal credit system is so fundamentally flawed that it pushes vulnerable claimants into hardship. and the daily telegraph claim britain secretly abandoned its blanket opposition to the death penalty
10:35 pm
and guant namo bay to allow two no—torious members of the so—called beatles group of is terrorists to be sent to america. that some of the front pages, let's go to the interview is now an top keyboard, let's get started, would you start us on the financial times, brussels throws out the brexit plan, slightly different to what we've been reading lately. to my astonishment i understood this story, i used to look at the ft and my eyes would glaze over. you are talking to a former financial times journalist. they are the best stories, we have always said that! people might have seen michel barnier given his reaction to theresa may's plan last friday and
10:36 pm
he did not dismiss it out of hand, they want to try to help theresa may as much as they can but here the ft has the reality behind part of her plan which is most important, the ft access to eu markets for london firms and at the moment we have a system called passport in which is like the single market for financial trading, you can do there what you can do here. the government accepted it would lose that saw then i thought we will have something called mutual recognition which means we both have standards but we recognise each other and everything can recognise each other and everything ca n flow recognise each other and everything can flow freely and the eu said no. the eu are assisting on equivalence which is effectively the eu's ability to strike out the city of london's ability to trade in the eu if britain does anything it doesn't like in terms of its regulatory system. it weaves control in the hands of the eu which would be damaging for the city of london. britain has begged for something better than that and the eu has said no but not yet publicly but that is
10:37 pm
coming. natalie, could you navigate your way through this, what you make of it? in spite of the minuscule fonts. i think maybe what is most interesting for casual brexit observers like me is that michel barnier has this time said, in the words of the ft has been careful not to reject the paper outright saying brussels would constructively engage with the proposals. i think this is an interesting development because if you think he even a few months ago we will be told everyone is playing hardball ago we will be told everyone is playing hard ball and ago we will be told everyone is playing hardball and know they could reveal their hand, everything was treated as high stakes but an interesting poker by virtually the entire media and is now we are getting less, this is being dismissed, but nobody is saying it oi'i dismissed, but nobody is saying it on the record because i think the eu is as worried as theresa may that if they publicly deride her suggestions
10:38 pm
too often our entire party will implode. the thing about this that strikes me, this is about financial services but in so many cases both sides have something to gain and a lot to lose as well. for example, we trade, financial services trade across the globe and nobody says you cannot do this or that. it's bizarre some of the arguing about points that for most people don't seem to be worth arguing about. financial services is an area where the eu has as much to lose as the uk because a lot of eu banking is done in the city of london so if access to the city is lost its damaging for the eu as well and they know that. what they believe is their rules, their system, their overall sticking to the rules is far more important. they want to protect the integrity of the single market, they don't wa nt to of the single market, they don't want to give britain a deal that could be exploited by some other country to weaken the single market in future. they are looking long term. we got through that, natalie!
10:39 pm
the complications are, let's go on to the i. we don't have much detail on this, perhaps you can help, but natalie we think we understand about food safety, no checksum food safety under brexit plan it says here. that sounds alarming. do we understand what's going on? essentially we do because, random phrasing for financial systems like passport in and equivalence seem impenetrable to everyone except you two. most of us know what it's like when somebody says the food won't get into the country, there will be tailbacks tens of miles long with lorries full of rotting food and i think pretty much nobody wants that to happen. but as the current plan suggests if we don't get a deal we will have precisely two options, one is that
10:40 pm
and the other is to say come on them. bring anything in. the alternative is going to be huge tailbacks. i guess it would be fair to suggest food may not be quite as carefully checked as it has been up to now. one of the sunday papers this morning had a picture of tailbacks on the f20 inevitably leading to dover and somehow linking that with what is going on here. brexit secretary refuses to deny britain is stockpiling food. what is one to make of that? you reported on the news that dominic raab was insisting britain had a no deal plan that would work the worst comes to but watching him this morning on andrew marr would have noticed what it says on the front of the i that he would not answer any questions about what that planning might be. does it involve stockpiling food? turning the end of 26 into lorry park? he basically blanket and he's
10:41 pm
asking the british public to take on trust there is a plan without seeing what it is. here on the front of i which has come from academics into with the government, the reality is we might have to just throw open the borders, notjust of the checks, food without checks. without checks on immigrants, without checks for tax purposes, throw the borders open entirely because there is literally nothing else we can do which would be an extraordinary event in itself but also if you think theresa may is still out there claiming that her brexit plan will allow us to take back control of our borders. this story says we will throw them i'd open. and he's only had the job for 20 minutes, how can i have confidence he has any plan at all? you don't need to know what it is, you just need to know he has won! i.
10:42 pm
i,i i, iget i, i get really confused. what you are saying is we would have to let everybody and everything in and god knows what, little fishing boat containing goodness knows what's, but we can do it the other way around, we'd be stopped from sending anything over there? they have more food than us, it is a bigger continent! it's hard to see the alternative, if we don't have enough border guards and apparently we don't, for everything to go terribly wrong next march, we can either let in everything or nothing. but if you have a small quantity of guards some things will be difficult and over. have a small quantity of guards some things will be difficult and overlj remember border security forces being under the most severe financial cosh for quite a long time anyway. think about trying to fly into a major airport on a bank holiday and extrapolate it many times over and holiday and extrapolate it many times overandl holiday and extrapolate it many times over and i think we got the perfect march you could hope for. your question is a good one because what happens going the other way and what happens going the other way and what is reported in the i today is
10:43 pm
that the eu will not accept the lack of food safety checks so they will slam restrictions on everything going into europe. ok. you mentioned flying into airports and all that sort of thing, that gives us a reason to get onto a story we can all understand, it's on the front page of every newspaper, predictions about what will happen to the weather. you don't need to fly abroad unless you want to go somewhere it's raining. which i do a little bit, as a runner it is killing me. i will be running 11 hours tomorrow and i will feel like vomiting for at least nine of them. straight out after the show perhaps? imight straight out after the show perhaps? i might push through. what fascinates me, 35 degrees on the front of the i, i have seen at least one other news saying it was 34, i think it was the metro. yet
10:44 pm
listening to our weather forecast not quite that far, come on?|j listening to our weather forecast not quite that far, come on? i will not quite that far, come on? i will not doubt the bbc weather because only an idiot would do that. everything they say is gospel to me. it will not be 35 it's all going to be fine. come on, tell me, how do you cope with the weather?” be fine. come on, tell me, how do you cope with the weather? i will never complain about the weather. i know there are all sorts of warnings andi know there are all sorts of warnings and i know more people die in hot weather, and there is a looming water shortage but bizarrely only in the wettest part of the country so far, the normally wettest part, winners in the south—east we somehow seemed to escape. it rained for nine months until june. seemed to escape. it rained for nine months untiljune. still cannot complain, iam months untiljune. still cannot complain, i am going to the beach at the end of the week. i will never complain about the weather. may we ask which beach? in my native wales where it would be as hot as 35. you are resisting the temptation to go
10:45 pm
abroad? for now. nathalie? i never go on holiday. i have not got time. series four of natalie haynes stand up series four of natalie haynes stand upfor series four of natalie haynes stand up for the classics begins at 4pm a week tomorrow, monday. more serious matters now. how dare you! i worked so matters now. how dare you! i worked so hard on that programme! to contrast to the weather, the guardian, who is starting us on this, universal credit fundamentally flawed, this has been around a long time, the suspicion is something wrong with the system. the guardian has worked hard to get whistle—blowers has worked hard to get whistle— blowers to talk has worked hard to get whistle—blowers to talk to them about the fact the system is so flawed that there is no version of it that could work. so riddled with design flaws and process faults it's
10:46 pm
practically guaranteed to generate mistakes and delays push vulnerable claimants into hardship. that was the first paragraph. it is exactly as shocking and as predictable, somehow an surprising and shocking at the same time. fund legally broken and thoroughly designed. completed and prone to errors, it created an enormous numbers of delays, mps accused the department for work and pensions after it reward warnings that led to disabled benefits claimants being underpaid and an estimated £500 million over six years. huge sums of money for people who are already having a difficult time of things. to individuals these are crucial amounts of money. was it iain duncan smith, that was his project at the beginning? that is correct, eight
10:47 pm
long years ago and still universal credit is only, has only been rolled out to a minority of the british public and yet all these problems are apparent and if you ever reach the whole country then presumably they was problems would multiply, iain duncan smith claims we can prepare to leave the european union with no deal, i would just leave that lying there. it always comes back to brexit. the government is in denial about the misery it is causing. what the whistle—blowers say is, the government technologies people have to wait 35 days to get their first payment, 35 days to get any money through, you can imagine the misery that causes but this whistle—blower says they are waiting three weeks longer. universal credit is supposed to replace six payments,
10:48 pm
replace six benefits with one trip to the food bank but that's not a joke, it's the reality. the idea in the beginning was, a laudable one that the system had got out of control and hard to understand and people were not doing well the way things used to be at least so an attempt had to be made to do something about it? but what do we do, does the country stop the whole thing and start all over again?|j thing and start all over again?” just do not know what the right answer is. perhaps the most depressing part of it quite aside from the enormous quantities of underpayment are there seems to be huge problems with people going online and reporting things that those reports are not read according to the sub laws. they don't get like that which means if you pursue something over the telephone the information you have given them does not seem to be picked up. if you go to the inside pages you can get the re st of to the inside pages you can get the rest of the story. if people ask how they get in touch they are persuaded from using the phone but it appears is the better way to do it and it
10:49 pm
seems there is no latitude allowed in the system. no allowances are being made for people who do not have internet access. one thing we should say, the department for work and pensions have responded to this this evening, unsurprisingly, more or less quartic net and then we'll move on, we are committed they say to ensuring people get the help they need and the majority of staff say universal credit gives them greater flexibility and 83% of claimants are satisfied with the system. 83% of people are satisfied. the deal with 8 million people, 17% of 8 million people seems like quite a high number. onto another story, a story
10:50 pm
we have been reporting throughout the day but it's a rather curious because israel are involved, uk asylu m because israel are involved, uk asylum for syria's white helmets, remind everyone what they been doing. it's an interesting intervention by the new foreign secretary, these are silly and volunteer civil defence forces who found themselves up against the israeli audit because of the march of president assad's forces and israel finally agreed to let them be taken in and go tojordan. britain will take a number of these 500 syrians and i think it's interesting because i cannot quite imagine if bobjohnson was because i cannot quite imagine if bob johnson was double because i cannot quite imagine if bobjohnson was double foreign secretary he would have let into action with this being thatjeremy hunt has, he's acted swiftly. this
10:51 pm
is because the selling government and its forces somehow regard them, they have been called spies and so forth, a lot of them have been killed. has been a spectacularly effective propaganda campaign against them which is being lapped up against them which is being lapped up by against them which is being lapped up by people within an outward syria, and that we are making a tiny effort to do that. not much we can say because it's an awful thing, but quickly, this is a story people will talk about, the front page of the metro and others, acid attack on boy of three in pushchair, one of those we re of three in pushchair, one of those were you think my goodness can we sent any law. we don't know the details. it is horrible and terrifying but the good news if one can say that on such a story is that someone has been arrested at least someone has been arrested at least sol someone has been arrested at least so i hope people don't feel extremely anxious either in worcester or anywhere else. it's terrible, i would
10:52 pm
worcester or anywhere else. it's terrible, iwould not worcester or anywhere else. it's terrible, i would not dream of trying to diminish it. all i would say is don't be frightened, the reason it on the front pages because it is an extraordinary event and not because you should be scared to leave the house. any thoughts? it's the most shocking thing, you first see the headline and you imagine the boy is the victim because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, that somebody else was the intended victim but police believe he was deliberately targeted. very quickly, the independent, online of course, but a good story here it seems to me, tories under fire but a good story here it seems to me, tories underfire forfailing to stop waiting staff kept a rip—off, this goes back quite a long way. anyone, i got a granddaughter who is just started work in a pub, the subject of tips and how they are shared is very lively and my family. it's a long—running sore. people leave a tip, they believe they will
10:53 pm
go to the staff who served them but no, they are used to top up the wages of workers so they don't get any extra. the independent has had a campaign to try to stop this happening two years ago, two years the government said it was going to act on stage the consultation but what my colleague has discovered is that two years later literally nothing has happened. no response to the consultation. it mayjust be that brexit blots everything out?” think that is exactly what happens and unfortunately the people being ripped off our young and low paid, so i'mjust ripped off our young and low paid, so i'm just ignore them? i hope people carry on giving tips on cash when you think of it more likely for the waiting staff to see them and i hope your granddaughter manages to get paid properly. that's it for the papers this hour. natalie haynes and rob merrick
10:54 pm
will be back at 11.30pm for another look at the papers. next it's the weather. the heatwave continues and the temperatures will rise further this week. but not for everybody. i must stress the really high—temperature is as far as this week is concerned will be concentrated across south eastern and eastern part of the country. one of the other reasons we are not getting a lot of rainfall is these weather fronts you can just about see here, the streaks of code are very weak, they keep telling to reach us. there is cooler air in the atla ntic reach us. there is cooler air in the atlantic ready to tuck in but ultimately across more southern and eastern areas it's the heat which will win from the south and this
10:55 pm
pattern is likely to be with us through the whole week. so starting with the evening into tonight, in the north—west of the country we have these very weak weather fronts bringing a little bit of rainfall to western scotland, northern ireland, perhaps a header that a few showers but the one coming from the south, 20 degrees the overnight low in london and it's 20 degrees the overnight low in london and its warm in belfast. 17 celsius the starting temperature on monday. here are the weather fronts, behind me this is the pressure air trying to tuck in but the warmth wins and much of the country, certainly england and wales is in the heat. temperatures will exceed 30 degrees on monday in some areas. scotla nd 30 degrees on monday in some areas. scotland and northern ireland in the fresh atlantic air but still warm in aberdeen, temperatures are touring 24. these weather fronts don't make much progress, the kind of stall about here. this is the pattern on tuesday, one weather front there and another one here, when i talk about
10:56 pm
weather fronts they are very weak. it's the cooler air trying to come in again on tuesday but the heat keeps on winning. much of england and wales in that hot air but particularly hot across the east, east anglia, the south—east part of the midlands two. temperatures on tuesday in some spots could get up to 32 perhaps 33, compare that to the much more fresh conditions in belfast and glasgow, around 20. looks like we will keep the 30s in the south right until the end of the week and then perhaps cooling off a little into the weekend. that's it from me, goodbye. this is bbc news, i'm nicholas owen. the headlines at 11pm: the brexit secretary says he's confident the uk won't crash out of the eu without a deal. dominic raab says he believes an agreement is possible within months, if brussels shows ambition. the energy that were going to bring
10:57 pm
to these negotiations, the ambition and the pragmatism, we get a deal donein and the pragmatism, we get a deal done in october. hundreds of volunteers from syria's civil defence force, known as the white helmets, are rescued from a war zone in southern syria. they are safely in jordan. police investigating an attack on a 3—year—old boy in worcester say the child's face and arm were seriously burned when a corrosive liquid was thrown on him. officers have released cctv images of three men they want to speak to following the attack yesterday afternoon.
