force weather system is gathering force out in the atlantic, something we haven't seen for quite a long time. heading towards our direction. the first succession of whether funds will be arriving across parts of britain so increasing cloud and breeze and a few showers but further east, is going to be a dry, sunny and hot one with temperatures reaching the mid—20s celsius across central and southern scotland, 30 or 31 across northern england and the mid— 30s in the south—east. we start to see some changes into friday. weather systems push their way further eastwards. western parts of england and into wales. ahead of it, a line of hit and miss thunderstorms which could bring some gusty wind, torrential downpour and the risk of health are not quite as hot as on thursday that again in the

south—east, could see temperatures hitting 35 or 36 potentially in east anglia. then we start to see some cooler air moving in for the weekend. these weather fronts cooler air moving in for the weekend. these weatherfronts push their way eastwards. thunderstorms and showers on friday. 0n their way eastwards. thunderstorms and showers on friday. on saturday, we could see further bands of showers pushing in across northern areas, particularly scotland and northern ireland. 0ne areas, particularly scotland and northern ireland. one of two showers and certainly a lot cooler with the mid—20s celsius at best. then things are looking more unsettled on sunday. a fairly breezy weather and we are into a much cooler air mass. more cloud around generally on sunday. showers, most of these in the west. strong south—westerly winds that we haven't seen. maybe 25 degrees in the south—east. 0n

monday, of refrigerant high—pressure tries to nose in. again, feeling much cooler than of late, 19— 25. pleasa nt much cooler than of late, 19— 25. pleasant in the sunshine, as the week went on, high—pressure building in again. initially across england and wales. but a big area of high pressure in what is that mean? with a strong early august sunshine, as the wind warning light again, temperatures will be rising again, certainly for england and wales. starting off on a much fresher note. then turning warmer later on. this is bbc in use. taking a look at

the morning's papers. first, the headlines: 65 children were drugged and sexually abused over three decades in a former psychiatric hospital near derby. former patients of state aston hall, was pure hell. donald trump strikes a deal with the eu to prevent trade war, announcing a new, close friendship between america and brussels. at least 80 people have died and dozens still missing following the wildfires near athens. they have been called the deadliest on record in greece. likud water it revealed on mars as scientist find evidence of an underground lake on the red planet. -- liquid underground lake on the red planet. —— liquid water. welcome to our look ahead to what

the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. let's start with a financial times, stories of the pakistani election and also the paper says donald trump's trade war is causing car manufacturer shares to plummet. the express claims the nhs is denying hundreds of thousands of diabetics the same life—saving blood sugar patch used by theresa may. britain is at the mercy of deadly heatwaves, according to a report in the telegraph, which says mps are warning that homes, schools and transport systems are

ill—prepared for the weather we have seen ill—prepared for the weather we have seen over ill—prepared for the weather we have seen over the past week. the mail says we should all get ready for furnace friday, where temperatures are expected to reach 37 degrees and the all—time record in 2003 could be eclipsed. the metro leads with theresa may in urging the public to remain calm about the prospect of a no deal brexit. this is following alarm of stockpiling food and medicines. the guardian is leading the new figures on police custody deaths. it says they are at their highest level in ten years. and the ipod! headline is a waterfound on mars, after scientist say there is evidence of liquid water in a lake under the planet's south pole at icecap. starting with the times. news that donald trump has done a deal. until he gets back on twitter.

this is jean—claude juncker, has gone to the white house for talks on trade about the president's tariffs, putting america first, it seems for now they have decided to put things on ice so there won't be any further escalation. the president has announced a close friendship between america and brussels. given the fact that one of his consistent views is that one of his consistent views is that he hates the way the eu works, he has a habit of standing next to world leaders saying very nice things, you get the impression that he might not say that half an hour later. that is the problem that other leaders have because they are not sure what he would do next. people are talked about him as a disruptor, he promised american people is going to do this and he is delivering. to back them. he could

very quickly turn around and say it knows. we thought he would bring peace to north and south korea, he behaved well and turned it around. he could turn around to the eu and say i have changed my mind. i imagine theresa may is also extremely worried, he came over to britain and said they probably wouldn't have many trade deals and now he is cosying up to the eu, looking at a tariff free deal and where does that leave theresa may and britain after brexit? very difficult to tell what will happen next and i don't think the british government will feel particularly happy all reassured by any thing. that's the problem, whole rhetoric is against the idea of doing a big free—trade deal with us after brexit. i think it changes. free—trade deal with us after brexit. ithink it changes. it is free—trade deal with us after

brexit. i think it changes. it is so ha rd to brexit. i think it changes. it is so hard to predict right now because we don't really know what the final deal, if it is a deal, is going to be. he said there might be a two year deal if we get rid of regulations but you get the impression, despite when he visited here, despite those assets in which here, despite those assets in which he said it looked like the trade deals would stand, he tried to go back, you get the impression that if he went through the chequers plan,. also, depending on what that final deal is, will would be in some form ofa deal is, will would be in some form of a customs union? this could all of a customs union? this could all ofa of a customs union? this could all of a sudden be quite good news for brexiteers. i think it is so hard to tell right now what is going on and where we are going to be. let's move to the daily telegraph. this story about a woman who wants to be

divorced. she says she is in an unhappy marriage but that is not grounds, according to judges, unhappy marriage but that is not grounds, according tojudges, to be able to divorce. partly because there is such thing as a no fault divorce. her husband doesn't want to go ahead with it so sure to stay. divorce. her husband doesn't want to go ahead with it so sure to staym isa go ahead with it so sure to staym is a complete catch—22 situation. the judges? unanimously and said they couldn't grant it within the current legal parameters, but it was very much a message that they felt a lot of this law was antiquated. very clear that the judges said it was in their place to change the law and that has to go into parliament and the government. it is a very sad story, it doesn't work for them but these rules are in place to try and stop people to bend the rules. it is one of the reasons why both parties have to agree is because often they have to agree is because often they have been cases in the past were men

try to avoid divorces to get out of almaty payments and that sort of thing. you can understand why these rules are in place, but equally this case is one that shows that it does need to be changed. unfortunately for this woman she is going to have to be the case that forces people to move and it will be sad for her to two years, but hopefully the divorce will get through parliament. two years, but hopefully the divorce will get through parliamentm two years, but hopefully the divorce will get through parliament. it is interesting that the judges are seen to mps it is up to you to change the law. that is unanimous in the verdict, saying that that is the message. the ministry ofjustice are looking at this, saying that this is too rigid and it is something that we will see movement on an this might be the case that makes a speed it up even more. i would be surprised if this is still a case in

five years time. staying with the daily telegraph, we have to talk about the weather, because it is a bit hot out there. it is hot in most places, everywhere has had a certain amount of heat. we are fine in here. they are saying britain is at the mercy of heat waves. this is more to do with the longer—term impact of what might happen, saying that homes, offices and transport systems are ill—prepared if our climate shifts considerably. it doesn't surprise me that we are not prepared for a heat wave, it is not something that we worry about. the idea that this is a one off, we are not expecting to have this every year but it says by 2040 we could be getting a heat wave like this one in two summers and we have to relook at how we do things and there are some things, road coverings are not made for this weather. there is a suggestion that we have two big about what close we were to work. the latter is easier to fix than the

former. i think it is basically looking at that and looking at how other countries do things. i don't think we will get a siesta.|j other countries do things. i don't think we will get a siesta. i think we needed to. —— need it.|j think we will get a siesta. i think we needed to. -- need it. i am freelance, a and just doing it. we needed to. -- need it. i am freelance, a and just doing itm is partly because it is hot at night and you understand. a lot of it will come down to healthcare, the nhs are overburdened by this. we have a lot of trouble in winter with older people having trouble with old weather and now we have problems with warm weather. we are going to have to learn to address our behaviour, drink more water, were due to our curtains closed during the day is that it equally, if this is going to be the case for ever, will have to look at getting air—conditioning in the home, think

about how we deal with newborn babies. i keep looking at heavily pregnant women, thinking ifeel very sorry for you, that the pretty grim. —— that must be pretty grim. sorry for you, that the pretty grim. -- that must be pretty grim. and energy efficient homes, the fact that we have all been trying to keep things energy efficient possible and keep the warmth and. we want to undo some of that. those triple glazing windows i have just some of that. those triple glazing windows i havejust bought! the daily mail, just when you thought it couldn't get any hotter, brace yourself, brace yourself for furnace friday. 37 degrees. the record—breaking will be 38.5. i am delighted that tomorrow i am going to kent to get away from london but it turns out that might not be the

place to go. i am surprised it wasn't hotter than this.|j place to go. i am surprised it wasn't hotter than this. i think when we come to furnace friday it will feel quite hot. i think it might be work at home friday for quite a lot of people, or one of those days where you don't really wa nt to those days where you don't really want to go out. yeah, i think, it will be interesting to see if it is even hotter than this, hitting close to matching the record from 2003. —— getting. by now the novelty has worked off. it is okayed to moan about it now. —— 0k. 0ne english village has reported no rainfall for 50 days. the london fire brigade said they have had six times as many and they had last year combined and there have been so many grass fires, leaving the barbecue burning, we get all of these wildfires because everywhere you look the grass is brown. will have to think about what

to do about that in the future. they have a plan in northern ireland which has been lifted but apparently we will have that from a august one. the novelty has completely worn off. they say the underground central hit 40 degrees, passengers told there will be no air—conditioning until 2030. this is from the other frontpage, basically what we need to do to get ready for these new waves of weather, which is encouraging to know that in over ten years time... some of the lions are a conditioned, when you find that, you can sit on it all day. a good way to toil away the hours. and then, oh gosh, will have to do this again the. the delightful rates that are enjoying the heat because they get a lot of rubbish, they enjoy a unhygienic things. so as well is

having a horrendous hot summer, we have rats to condemn to have as well. obviously they really enjoy these temperatures. are you think is city district in county councils are a lot of things including in brine mental health officers to get rid of rats but bringing back bin collections. you may want to check your bin before you put something in there. these rodents are running around and terrifying cats. a lovely british summer. there is a rat expert in this piece. i think we should move on. stockpiling food, this is theresa may saying don't panic about brexit no deal. this is

the news that dominic raab confirmed. the government were stockpiling food or encouraging other businesses to do this. theresa may in response to this is said she doesn't know why people are panicking. the government is usually so organised. it's one way of dressing it up. i think it's interesting because the months now, there have been complaints for over a year that there is that enough no deal planning going on. people want to know what the government is doing. she's managed to annoy eve ryo ne doing. she's managed to annoy everyone to this. it's more to cause panic. her compromised brexit plan looks better in comparison to other options. there is slightly a conspiracy view. 0n the other side, people are also thinking, is it really going to, is this what we signed up for. we will see as we go.

we have around 70 no deal warnings over the summer, information. what a day. stay in, it's too hot to go out. moving onto the guardian, police custody deaths the highest in ten years. police custody deaths have been a problem for a long time. police say they often end up being the first port of call when people are in crisis. the police first on the scene, a lot of mental health issues, the mental health services, map of —— massive cuts would also an increase in people who need services. the police aren't quick to deal with it the better know how to restrain people. they restrain people too harshly. people who need to be looked after by the nhs are instead being kept in police custody. we've seen a massive

increase, up a 50% increase year on year and increase, up a 50% increase year on yearand a increase, up a 50% increase year on year and a couple of the organisations have called for a massive look into this. it's the highest in years. you have to look at the end of the day about all these things. these people can get help. even one death is too many. the pakistani elections. and i think imran khan is claiming victory but it has been another violent election campaign. there have been deaths, a suicide attack most recently. they've been trying to encourage women to vote but there have been difficulties in some areas because there aren't segregated polling stations which is making it more compensate it. overall, more

allegations of corruption which is quite common for elections when they do happen but it does mean imran khan is predicted to win this but any victory is going to be a bit of it tainted by the run—up to this and the big question is, can democratically elected leader distance themselves from the military, rather than the party. there will be some celebrations if he does win. i think the problems are mounting. and we are going to end on the i, water on mars. everyone wants to know, is there life on the red planet? this is a body of water they found although they are calling it a large lake of briny sludge discovered beneath the surface which doesn't sound quite so exciting. you excited? i am excited. it's really heartening that 50 years

after the moon landing, we are finding the uk. it may well be that mars had life on it before earth did. we have got all these robots, we managed to get out there. it's absolutely incredible. obviously any life that is on there is not going to be the kind of life you see. i think it will massively enhance our understanding of our environment, other environments and what life actually is and it is really exciting. if i was a little kid, i would be over the moon. fancy a trip to mars? if it was colder. there is a nice lake there are, even though it is briny sludge. not sure that is the cooling water i need. definitely not. that is it for the papers tonight. now it is time for a sports round—up

with chris. that evening, i am chris mitchell. four stages to go at the tour de france and geraint thomas looks in control of the race. he has extended his lead but crisp rumour has it slipped to third overall. an intense 40 miles with three major climbs. the colombian and the blue they won the stage to move up to fifth. chris groom in the white fell behind as the contenders for the race battled it out.

—— chris froome. he is now one minute 59 seconds ahead. there was a shock at the hockey world cup. england's world cup campaign has taken another hit, two gameplay is, just to draw is owned. the hosts came in as one of the heavy favourites and in front of a sell—out crowd here at olympic park, they met their match in the usa. the first quarter really came and went with england barely making and went with england barely making a dent in the opposition's armagh, only thanks to the goalkeeper that the score remained level. it was left to the captain making her 200th appearance in an england shirt to lead from the front. advancing on into the circle with an equally impressive reverse to break the

deadlock. drawn level with marjorie pollard's international goalscoring record. england's joy we short—lived. a shock to the front post eating hinch. both teams based in the final minutes that they had to settle for a point each. so where does this result leave england? they are currently second. but ireland and india have their second round matches to place an england's chances of finishing top are slim. they play their final match of the group stage against ireland on sunday will have to put in a better performance than the first two they have any hope to progress to the knockout stages. a bittersweet moment alex danson, a 200 and she scored england's goal, making it 115 in all for her and england and great britain. of course it's very special but this is a team game. you can't

play the team without your team—mates can't score goals without passing the ball and without another 15 people so i'm very grateful that this is for every player i've ever played with and every volunteer that has got me to this point. football clu bs has got me to this point. football clubs in england have to weeks to get all the summer shopping done. the transfer window is closing earlier. he has forked out a world record fee. just one of all players brought in. so does spending more mean more pressure? we improved our position for us. what it means for the league, you will see, but the pressure coming from outside, i don't care about that. we want to play the best football we can play and make ourfans happy, that is it. 0ther and make ourfans happy, that is it. other people say, i don't care. the football world cup may be over but

the debate about what was the best goal of russia 2018 is now over as well. frances white back. and why not. what a goal it was against argentina. winning the trophy outright with his country, of course. just undertow that celtic beat rosenberg 3—1 in the first leg of their second qualifier in the champions league. good news for the scottish champions. that's all for now, we will see later. hello, good evening. we were expecting a bit of music or something but we will skip straight to the weather and what a forecast it is. those temperatures are continuing to climb over the next couple of days. 36 degrees in one or two places as the close the week and

that brings the chance of some thunderstorms. a satellite picture shows a few different areas of low pressure out in the atlantic, heading in our direction, bringing about a change the weekend. in the meantime, we are still bringing up this very hot air. towards the south—eastern corner up into the mid— 30s during tomorrow. some places in the south—east may be no lower than 20. we get on into tomorrow and we are going to look at a picture of blue skies and shunned shines are many. small chance an afternoon shower. into northern ireland, a bit more cloud and the odd splash of rain. a bit cooler here as well but look of a deep orange and red colours across the south—eastern corner. temperatures getting up to 34, maybe 35 degrees there in the centre of london. how often do we get to say that. further north and west, something a bit cooler and pressure. thursday night

into friday, this band of rain in from the west but also increasing chances we will develop some thunderstorms across the eastern half of the country and some of these will become very lively indeed as we did the first part of friday. have a look at that temperature. 21 as your starting temperatures on friday morning. a lot of heat and humidity and across parts of the midlands and eastern scotland, these are the areas most prone to sing these vicious thundery downpours. if you catch one, you will know about it. further west, some outbreaks of rainfor it. further west, some outbreaks of rain for the extreme east of england. that's when we could get up to 36 degrees. some thunderstorms and rain, pushing allabout to 36 degrees. some thunderstorms and rain, pushing all about through as we go into saturday and behind those various frontal systems, we get into some much cooler, fresher. the orange colours much out into the near continent, we bring those blue colours from the atlantic so have a

look at the weekend, the temperatures in some places dipping by 10 degrees, 25 in london on saturday. a bit of rain around at times but that will be some sunny spells as well. before we get there, some real heat in the forecast. the mid— 30s looking very likely. this is newsday on the bbc. i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines: votes are counted in pakistan's general election — we'll bring you the latest. searching for the missing — after the dam collapse, laos' prime minister confirms at least 130 people are unaccounted for. i'm babita sharma in london. also in the programme: the search for more bodies

in greece's devastating fires continues — and we hear from those who made dramatic escapes. iam sure i am sure i am not going to make it. this is the end. but the prayers we re this is the end. but the prayers were answered. it's the question everyone is now asking: could there be life on mars
