have scandinavia, where temperatures have been into the 30s. a huge heatwave gci’oss been into the 30s. a huge heatwave across europe. temperatures day by day going up and down by a degree but much more comfortable in scotla nd but much more comfortable in scotland and northern ireland. temperatures will be around the low 20s, and look at these values. tuesday, 30, wednesday, 32, my goodness — how much longer can this goodness — how much longer can this go on? for some of us, amazing news, but for a lot of people, it's not. some of us are suffering. the weather. hello. this is bbc news with nicholas 0wen. 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. police investigating a suspected acid attack on a 3—year—old boy in worcester have released cctv images of three men they want to speak to. hundreds of volunteers from syria's civil defence force, known as the white helmets, are rescued from a war zone in southern syria.
11:31 pm
they are safely in jordan. three members of the anti—corruption unit at the metropolitan police are being investigated by a police watchdog in connection with claims they interfered with inquiries or failed to investigate cases. millions of virgin media customers have lost access to channels provided by the broadcaster uktv, such as dave and gold, because of a row between the two 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
11:32 pm
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 financial times says brussels has rejected uk proposals on how to govern the city of london's access to the european market after brexit, saying theresa may's latest 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 daily mail describes how witnesses saw the mother's anguish after the attack. the sun also leads with the same story, saying police are looking for three men in connection with the attack. the guardian reports that according to whistleblowers,
11:33 pm
the universal credit system is so fundamentally flawed that it pushes vulnerable claimants into hardship. according to the daily telegraph, britain secretly abandoned its blanket opposition to the death penalty and guant namo bay to allow two no—torious members of the so—called beatles group of is terrorists to be sent to america. and the daily mirror claims water company bosses are failing to deal with leaks in order to benefit shareholders, as millions of customers face hosepipe bans. that's it for the papers tonight. the daily telegraph front—page picture of two men captured in january as they fled from syria, the headline: this is quite a tale, isn't it? give
11:34 pm
us this is quite a tale, isn't it? give us the details. vis-a-vis two as yet unconvicted members of the group known as the beatles because there we re known as the beatles because there were four and they had british accents, the best—known wasjihadi john, killed in a drone strikes —— these are two. the second was jailed in turkey for 7.5 years. these two men are to be perhaps extradited to the us and apparently we're not opposing the death penalty for them. 0ne opposing the death penalty for them. one of their fellow torturer and murderers will have received a 7.5 year sentence in turkey, but they may be killed and you might well note that they are implicated, not convicted of, implicated in the murder of two british citizens and three americans but we abandoned the death penalty in 1960s five in britain, 1973 in northern ireland, think that's right, so even if they we re think that's right, so even if they were convicted of those he notes crimes they still wouldn't be put to
11:35 pm
death in this country for more than my whole life —— 1965 —— those heinous crimes. the home secretary said don't worry, we don't need assurances of what's happening to them in the us. quite a development. an eye—popping story, brilliant scoop by the daily telegraph, huge implications on this when we get back to parliament tomorrow without a doubt because these two men have beenin a doubt because these two men have been in limbo since they were captured in january, it been in limbo since they were captured injanuary, it was unclear what would happen to them. they're not coming back to britain partly because they have their citizenship revoked, or at least it's right, widely thought they were, under laws passed a couple of years ago we could take citizenship, from people who were thought to have committed such heinous crimes. we thought it was a cast—iron rule that britain would not allow even its former citizens to be put to death but
11:36 pm
apparently it's not. what is so eye-popping apparently it's not. what is so eye—popping is the telegraph got hold of the letter sent to the counterpart for the home secretary in america and he said i am convinced there should be no assurances about not having a death penalty. in black and white. britain seems eager to hand them over because there's more chance of a successful prosecution over there with perhaps tougher terrorism laws than we have in this country, but either they will be put to death or sent to guantanamo. they will likely be sent back to an america with a president who is an open supporter of torture, who is appointed the new head of the cia who personally oversaw torture in the past. subsequently disavowed it, though, we should save. apparently so. i'm just pointing that out. —— we should save. could be the death penalty, that might be a bit unlikely, but with a could end up in grant hanna may be, which i thought barack 0bama was going to end ages ago —— but
11:37 pm
they could end up in grand than i be. i can only be shocked that sajid javid has gone on record saying in during fighters go on and get justice is important —— lantana might be. —— guantanamo bay. that's not how justice that's not howjustice is meant to work. natalie, staying with you, same newspaper, on the front page, vince cable, servants, secret talks set up to setup a new anti—brexit party —— servants. he was at a dinner party when he should have been voting —— servants. does this story give us a clue as to who might be alongside him with this new party? people and other parties is the quote they have gone with. we can assume they are not people from the house of commons or they would
11:38 pm
have been missing from the same vote vince cable was missing from. let's assume they must be people from other parties who are in the house of lords, perhaps former mps, former prime ministers. i'm sceptical of a new political party, i have to be honest. i think it sounds like a convincing excuse to suggest that he might have been doing something very busy and important when he should have been voting in the house of commons, but he should be voting in the house of commons, that is one job. he is very much anti-brexit, lib dems are very much so, it's not surprising that he might seek allies to try to get things moving their way, is it? i suppose it's not. the headline slightly misleading, vince in talks to set up a new anti—brexit party. i was writing on this today. vince cable is squirming over it without a doubt, his position is he is interested and talking with allies in other parties about what he believes is an inevitable political realignment in
11:39 pm
the future because both parties are still riven by splits over brexit they will blow apart, and he wants to be there to pick up the pieces. that might not serried mean a new party, but it might do, it will be interesting to see what the lib dems think of that —— might not necessarily mean. you hit the nail on the head there. there were two votes on thursday night and the plans were less likely to be accepted in brussels. the lib dems don't have many mps, they don't have many messages, they have one job, which is to stop brexit and he failed to do that, which is extraordinary. 0k, twist one might not have expected. let's go onto the times —— a twist. no deal brexit risks civil unrest says amazon. 0ne might think, amazon, they've got a crystal ball, an interesting one? they kind of do, that is how they
11:40 pm
are so extremely successful, they conceive what we are going to want before we do, that's how they are the richest... they can see how badly behaved we are going to be?|j like badly behaved we are going to be?” like to think they do small analysis every time they make me sign for a parcel, they can tell my bad behaviour for the future, but who knows. interesting amazon uk has become the first business to issue this morning, within two weeks we will all be kicking off and if people can't get food it will take less tha n people can't get food it will take less than two weeks, even less if they can't get medicine. unfortunate for dominic raab in his first week of thejob, is itjust for dominic raab in his first week of the job, is itjust about for dominic raab in his first week of the job, is it just about the first week? a meeting on friday, just about his second week. a meeting on friday organised by him, where this warning was issued, presumably he invited everyone hoping that people would put a brave face on things, the blitz spirit, and instead they got it is the end times, everything could be terrible, we need worst—case scenarios in place and so on.
11:41 pm
this is the uk managerfor the american online giant. his name doesn't sound real but i assume the times wouldn't have made it out. it says the remark stunned those present. it is a bit of... again, a bit eye—popping, isn't it? present. it is a bit of... again, a bit eye—popping, isn't it7m present. it is a bit of... again, a bit eye-popping, isn't it? if it did stand those present it didn't seem to stun dominic raab, he heard this on friday, he went on tv today and insisted britain's no deal planning would be a fantastic success but he said the country would thrive if we crash out of the eu with no deal. you heard this warning apparently. there's another dominate in this story, dominic grieve, a leading pro eu tory, an incredibly polite and mild—mannered person. i, like lots of journalists, have been mild—mannered person. i, like lots ofjournalists, have been frustrated trying to get dominic grieve to say something more sexy for the paper, a bit more of a soundbite, and often he doesn't want to because that's the person he is. he is warning, as
11:42 pm
he did on tv today, that it would be a state of urgency if a no deal brexit, ordinary life would grind to a halt, echoing what amazon said and that's coming from somebody who normally takes a very sober and restrained view of things. good to know this is what counts as sexy in your world for the record! i'm just saying. we are all thinking it. i'm thinking about the word crisis, which gets thrown around a lot, this would be a crisis. i must all quickly about this one. 35 celsius britain is set for hottest day this week, the i has that on its front page, lots of others have it. how ayew on the heat, does it sound all right, 35? we can cope, it isjust travelling around, the tube and the underground in london, the same for other parts of the country. in your own home it is ok but it is the travel that gets you. i'm not going to complain, i like the hot weather,
11:43 pm
long may it continue but maybe 35 is too warm. thomas jaffer macca, our friend, too warm. thomas jaffer macca, ourfriend, a guru in these matters, he didn't measure 35. how are you in the heat? iruna measure 35. how are you in the heat? i run a lot, tomorrow is my long run date, but tomorrow is going to kill me. how long do you run? 15 kilometres —— long run date. me. how long do you run? 15 kilometres -- long run date. we will alert the ambulance. camps —— long run day. camps -- long run day. for universal credit fundamentally flawed survey whistleblowers. this is said to have been in trouble for a long time. after a bit of digging the guardian have got people who worked on it to dish the dirt and it is exactly as one might have suspected and precisely as depressing as one might have not hoped. apparently the system is
11:44 pm
cobbled together, i quote, as the it system is so fundamentally broken and poorly designed it guarantees severe problems with claims and this is people who have been working with the system, notjournalistic gloss. as we've seen, the best case scenario is universal credit makes you wait 35 days for an initial benefit payment and routinely it's been an extra three weeks, that the average. presumably for some people it's been a lot more than three weeks. that's an enormously long time, seven or eight weeks to wait for money. rob, this goes back a long way, iain duncan smith, the work and pensions secretary, brought it in. from the start people said it wouldn't work but something had to change. the old system didn't work very well either. without a doubt in theory it was a good idea at the heart of universal credit, no doubt, the idea was it would make work pay by removing some of the benefit traps that existed in the old system so if you took on work, it wasn't
11:45 pm
worth working because the extra money you would be earning would be so little compared to staying on benefits. also to make the system more streamlined. labour looked at this before the coalition came to power in 2010 and shied away from it because they feared it could be too complicated and could go
