to the local and of england, hires to the local and his, may be cooler than that in coastal parts of scotland. the reason why we coastal parts of scotland. the reason why we are coastal parts of scotland. the reason why we are seeing this heat returning, for england and wales in particular, will be tapping into this extreme heat at the near continent, across iberia and into france. across thursday, high—pressure across the south—east corner of the uk, towards the north we have lower pressure, low cloud around and that will be bringing this thick cloud and parts of rain into northern ireland will perhaps western wales during the course of thursday. the best of the sunshine, eastern scotland, where it will be a warm day for all certain england and wales. maybe even 30 degrees in south—east of the into friday, this weather front across the north—west slips south, affecting central parts of the uk. we could see the crap —— cloud, some showery rain across the

midlands and into wales but the was an south of it, it should be a fine day with good spells or sunshine. computers rising even further across the south—east, tapping into that warm air across the continent, 27— 32 degrees across the south—east. to the north, i7— 22 celsius. across the north, i7— 22 celsius. across the weekend, high—pressure dominating the scene, these sparse isobars, the wind will be light with a breeze and that weather front could affect the north—west. that weather front will sink its way southwards in the week, introducing a slightly fresher, cloudy conditions to much of scotland and northern ireland. fairly warm, temperatures into the low to mid 20s. further south, a hotter weekend this topic upper 20s and across the south—east, the low 30s. things are set to pull off a little bit as we head into next week as our harrier of high—pressure ebbs away and allows the door open to this area of

high pressure, bringing more breeze, cloud and outbreaks of rain initially to scotland and northern ireland, perhaps damage in north—east england and wales. rest of the sunshine in the north—east, pretty warm with highs of 27— 28 degrees, closer to the sea is scotla nd degrees, closer to the sea is scotland and northern ireland. a battle of the air masses into the start of next week, beat warm and holding on a while longer, but a little bit cool and fresh for a time of the atlantic. as we head through the week, very warm air is goes off into the near continent, opening the doors to blue colours of. next week, started off very warm or even hot, turning cooler for midweek, started off very warm or even hot, turning coolerfor midweek, but onwards by the end of the week it could be turning warmer again. this summer could be turning warmer again. this summerjust could be turning warmer again. this summer just keeps delivering. hello, this is bbc news. we will be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first the headlines at 11:30pm:

international calls for calm in zimbabwe after three people were killed in post—election violence in the capital, harare. soldiers opened fire on opposition supporters, who accuse the ruling zanu—pf party of trying to rig monday's presidential election. angry protesters in northamptonshire gathered outside tonight's crisis talks to discuss which services the council must cut to the bare minimum in order to save money. the authority needs to save up to £70 million by next march. the future of the department store house of fraser is thrown into uncertainty, as a chinese firm pulls out of a rescue deal. c.banner says it is scrapping its investment plans because its own share price has fallen steeply. campaigners against anti—semitism accuse the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, of failing to apologise properly after it emerged he had shared a platform with speakers who compared israel to the nazis. he said he was sorry for the anxiety

and concern he had caused. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are polly mackenzie, who is director of the cross—party think—tank demos, and steven swinford, the deputy political editor at the daily telegraph. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the times leads with its investigation into the home office's approval of visas. the paper says that officials received dozens of reports last year that women wanted to block visas for men they had been forced to marry, but in almost half of the cases, the visas were given. 0n the front page of the daily telegraph is a striking image of an opposition supporter

protesting in the zimbabwean capital, harare, following monday's contested elections. the guardian also features today's violent protests in harare, reporting that three people were killed when soldiers and police fired live ammunition at demonstrators. the antisemitism row within the labour party leads the i. mps, it says, have been pleading with their leader, jeremy corbyn, to act to avoid an open revolt. the financial times carries a story we have been covering today — the collapse of a deal with a chinese firm that might have saved house of fraser, the department store whose future now looks uncertain. 0ur obsession with our phones makes the front page of the daily mail. the paper leads on the new research by 0fcom which found that the average adult looks at their mobile every 12 minutes. the heatwave which has pushed many of us to stay in the uk for the summer holidays has, says the daily express, poured billions of pounds into the economy. the paper calls it a bumper brexit

home—spending bonanza. and football could be coming home afterall, according to the metro, which claims that the football association is considering a bid to host the 2030 world cup finals. you never know, they may be coming home after all. let's go through those papers. we have the times, first of all, onjeremy corbyn and discontinuing, festering row of anti—semitism that just discontinuing, festering row of anti—semitism thatjust doesn't seem to go away. and they have a new line on it. so the new angle on this is about the speech jeremy corbyn on it. so the new angle on this is about the speechjeremy corbyn gave, quite offensively on holocaust memorial day, at an event in the house of commons that was called from auschwitz to gaza. this was

quite awhile ago. in 2010, when he was a backbench mp. nevertheless, what he says is i have often shared a platform with people i disagreed with. but if you remember back to the brexit referendum, he refused to share a platform with a whole bunch of blairite people who were campaigning to stay in the european union. it is simply not true that he is someone who is so open and liberal he will share a platform with anybody, but he is holding onto that because this was clearly an offensive event at which lots of people accused the israeli government of being just like the nazis, which is both not true and also an incredibly provocative thing to say, of all days, on holocaust memorial day. and there is a key quote, isn't there, in whatjeremy corbyn actually said. yes, so there are actually two events which have

gone on here, there is one holocaust memorial day event, which he hosted, which made direct comparisons between gaza and nazi germany, and another event where he compared nazi germany... he compared israel and its actions in gaza to that of nazi germany, and its actions in stalingrad and leningrad, and that is very, very serious, because labour mps is very, very serious, because labourmps are is very, very serious, because labour mps are pushing for a new, broader definition, an international, accepted definition of anti—semitism which makes specific offence to compare israel to nazi germany. and yet that appears to be exactly whatjeremy corbyn has done, and that matters, which is why the labour spokesman was very careful to say thatjeremy corbyn was not comparing the actions of nazis and israelis but the conditions of besieged populations in wartime. if you asked me that is a very slim distinction, but it is a distinction that really matters to the labour party right now. and do you think that this is going to cost the labour party in terms of

electoral support? is it going to translate, this whole rumbling row that goes on from day—to—day, is it going to cost the labour party votes whenever the next election is? that is such an important question, and we know back at the local elections we know back at the local elections we had earlier this year, the labour party had been hoping to sweep north london, and because there is such a concentration ofjewish london, and because there is such a concentration of jewish populations they are, they absolutely made no progress at all. so there will be concentrated ways in which it causes local problems. what is troubling, i guess, for our wider debate, is local problems. what is troubling, i guess, for ourwider debate, is that going back to the last general election, an enormous amount of evidence was put forward demonstrating notjust evidence was put forward demonstrating not just that jeremy corbyn has sort of spent a lot of time breaking bread with anti—semitic people, he has also spent a lot of time with the northern ireland terrorists. he has a whole host of negative associations, which somehow just didn't land. he had that nonstick ability. and so what is troubling, ina ability. and so what is troubling, in a country which i don't think is

widely anti—semitic, somehow people don't seem to mind. 0k. let's go onto another story in the times, their main story, a times investigation of visas for men who forced teenagers into marriage. investigation of visas for men who forced teenagers into marriagem isa forced teenagers into marriagem is a very important story, this one, and a very sad story. it is about often very young women from bangladeshi communities, from pakistani and indian communities, in britain that are going to the nations that their parents are from, and they are being married off, essentially. in some cases they are being raped, they have are having children, and it is with a view to getting husbands visas. in the copy it describes in part this investigation, how they are almost auctioned off to the highest bidder, and this will matter, this story, to the prime minister. she has said that tackling the injustices faced by these people is one of her number one priority is, and stories like this are going to trouble her deeply, i imagine. the sort of

stories that the newspapers should be doing? absolutely. this is really high quality investigative work by the times here, because we know from things like the windrush scandal that the home office is incredibly strict on who is coming into the country, including spouses, including all sorts of really heartbreaking stories of people whose wives, husbands and kids can't come to the country despite them being british citizens. and yet they are allowing this somehow loophole whereby people who are under the control of their families, basically, are being bullied and controlled into marriage and into then supporting that these applications of people who theyjust don't want here. —— the visa applications. there has to be away for people to flag that to the authorities and allow the authorities and allow the authorities to step in and protect people. the guardian have got their own exclusive story, ministers ' secret plan to assess the role of

austerity, and looking at whether it is causing people to use food banks more often. if you are the labour party, this is the kind of front—page splash you would want to see. this is an issue labour has campaigned on very strongly. they say food banks are an absolute scandal, an example of austerity britain today. it is notable that the tories don't like to talk about food banks at all, because it feeds the narrative that austerity and government cuts are literally leaving people without enough food. there are alternative views, and other ways of looking at this story. some people on the right would argue that food banks are in fact civil society stepping in because the state has stepped back, and that is what david cameron's big society is all about. that people should be sanctioned if they are not complying withjob search sanctioned if they are not complying with job search requirements sanctioned if they are not complying withjob search requirements so sanctioned if they are not complying with job search requirements so that they are destitute for a few weeks, because that will teach them a lesson. that is not a view that i share. ina lesson. that is not a view that i share. in a way i think this is good

policymaking, not around food banks, but the government is commissioning some research because there is a lot of sound and fury about this, and it is certainly true that the more food banks there are, the more people will go to them. and trying to understand the complex causal pathways which are bringing people there, and what their needs are, because if people are in that level of crisis, even if it is because they have been sanctioned, how do you help them sort a chaotic life, get help from everything from parenting the job search so that the moment of crisis becomes a pivot point? and zimbabwe, three is the latest death toll we have, and extraordinary scenes. there was so much hope when robert mugabe was finally kicked out of office, and now we've got what appears to be the army on the streets of harare using live ammunition and shooting unarmed

protesters. it is grim stuff, and exactly for the reasons you describe, there was a sense of hope, that there was a flowering of democracy, that robert mugabe would finally relinquish power. and all the things he used to assert control, the weapons of state, the army and the police, that wasn't going to happen any more. instead we are still waiting for this election result, the opposition parti's supporters are out protesting and police are using live ammunition, and three people are dead. we can only hope that this doesn't continue. this is a story you both think is rather interesting, in the sun newspaper. nursery crimes as the headline. this is a story about a nursery in hove, in east sussex, downgraded by 0fsted from outstanding because apparently doesn't have the right policies in place to stop the toddlers, and remember these are two, three and four —year—olds, from being radicalised in to terrorism, which

strikes me as pretty unlikely. again, this is extraordinary bad policy—making. what you have is a prime minister who wants to issue an announcement, and i think this comes from david cameron in 2013 or 2014, saying every school must teach british values, including nurseries, we must stamp out terrorism. it is the strategy to tackle radicalisation, and saying that all parts of government must be swept into that, even when it gets too, as an anonymous source is quoted in the article as saying, this is ludicrous. how are you going to know isa ludicrous. how are you going to know is a three—year—old is being radicalised? it is the little ducklings nursery, which doesn't seem like a breeding ground for islamist terrorists, does it? it is one of those moments where there is a government policy which is very serious and trying to do things, and it sounds to me like it has been interpreted in a particular way at the little ducklings nursery school.

as one parent said, this is bonkers. of course it is good to stop children being radicalised but little ducklings doesn't strike you asa little ducklings doesn't strike you as a hotbed of terrorism. you will probably not read a better quote in the newspaper tomorrow. now the mail has said something we know, we are addicted to our mobile phone. a p pa re ntly addicted to our mobile phone. apparently we check it regularly, is that right? we were talking about it earlier. i am currently addicted to a particular game at and i am afraid to say, every half an hour i get a new life and i try to use it up. steve ? h ow new life and i try to use it up. steve ? how often ? new life and i try to use it up. steve? how often? constantly, it is journalism, it takes over our lives. it is the all little bit of time.

they say a whole day every week where you are staring at your phone, extraordinary, for some, 40 hours a week. you could be doing anything! a p pa re ntly week. you could be doing anything! apparently 40% of us check our phones within five minutes of waking up. i charge mine downstairs to stop myself from doing that, to try and acclimatise myself to reality a bit more. is that because it is a naughty? the whole, the rise of the smartphone. in 20 years time may view the late b so obsessed? —— we might not be so obsessed. view the late b so obsessed? —— we might not be so obsessedlj view the late b so obsessed? —— we might not be so obsessed. i think we will have it in our palm. i think it is extraordinary we call a phone. the amount of time we use it for making actual telephone calls has fallen. they are not phones. if we are not on our phones, we are having are not on our phones, we are having a glass of wine, some might say. the

telegraph saying raise a glass to middle age to lower the risk of dementia. good news for people who like to drink a moderate amount of wine. fora like to drink a moderate amount of wine. for a half bottles per week is considered moderate. —— fourand wine. for a half bottles per week is considered moderate. —— four and a half. we were all taught that drinking alcohol could be bad for you. actually, it could be the reverse of. one of those mixed message stories. i think it is basically impossible to navigate through the conflicting health advice that is out there. i read something lately that we should set up something lately that we should set upa risk something lately that we should set up a risk commission to warn everybody about every thing they could face of. bad idea. we should pursue moderation, whether it is alcohol or smartphone usage. in fa ct, alcohol or smartphone usage. in fact, find a way to limit those addictions and political —— a little

bit of what you fancy doesn't do you much harm. let's look at the metro. the idea that we might be making a bid to stage the world cup in 30 —— 2030. jolly. fantastic. something on british soil, something to get really excited about. and it might help england when it. in a way, it doesn't matter. i am sorry, the foot all doesn't matter? hosting the world cup is something else. so many years of disappointment as a england fan has led me to believe that the foot ball fan has led me to believe that the football doesn't matter. look how russia went from being a pariah state to being celebrated and of course, by 2030, britain will have long since departed the eu, no one will want to talk to us, we will use it to get people to visit. it is a

realistic possibility, isn't it? definitely realistic. it sounds like it is ourturn definitely realistic. it sounds like it is our turn after we were slightly cheated out of the last one, 2010, david beckham was at the forefront of it and we lost to qatar. there are a lot of allegations surrounding that bid now. we do have the premier league, which is the best football league in the world and amazing stadium. whereas other countries might have quite a lot of work to do with stadiums, we have them all on standby. enfield, for example. -- anfield. the last is the express, they are beating up the heat wave as a boost the economy because people are staying at home than going away on holiday. is that true? there is some evidence that partly because of the weather and the brexit related

colla pse the weather and the brexit related collapse in the pound, it is cheaper to stay at home than it is to travel abroad. and use if you are a budget airline or if you are trying to run airline or if you are trying to run a hotel. nevertheless, it is good news. i am sure there is a lot more money being spent on suncream, but not good news for umbrella manufacturers. we have fantastic beachesin manufacturers. we have fantastic beaches in this country. we went to margate, beautiful, golden sand.|j was on the beach around whitehaven last weekend, which was cold, but nevertheless, extremely beautiful. it is always annoying when you go somewhere like spain and the south of france, and it is really hot and it is raining in france or spain, really annoying. i am leaving for the continent on friday so i really hope i don't have that experience.

but i would like there to be rain here so i come back in my garden is still alive. you want it all! that's it for the papers for tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. and a big thank you to my guests, polly mackenzie from the think—tank demos and steven swinford from the daily telegraph. and goodbye. hello there. let's start with some cricket as india are in control of the opening test of the first test at edgbaston. stumps for 285— nine, looking in control at two and 216— three at one stage. that is when things started to go wrong. patrick

geary reports on that and takes a look at the test cricket archives as well. an english drama in 1,000 parts, from flickering victorian beginnings through history, haircuts and heroics. test cricket still relies on the same familiar routines. this time, england won the toss and batted. this queue shows that there is still interest in this form of the game, but they have struggled to sell all the tickets for this first day, a reminder that test cricket needs a captivating series now more than ever. keatonjennings accompanied him to lunch and beyond until he was bowled almost in slow motion. virat kohli called his temper and sent for the winner. alastair cook a caucus. semitones in such history, many members have led to the spells, joe root kept a level head. how unfortunate... fast forward around 25 minutes

and dawid malan was also ejected. in came jonny bairstow, steering the match england's way. he passed 50, alongside root. two yorkshiremen on yorkshire day. but the lesson of the past 999 england tests is where there is peace, trouble may lurk. root run out by kohli for 80. 0ne captain seeing off another. bairstow at the other end could only watch and was almost as helpless here. now we had a different game. jos buttlerfollowed them indoors. so often, it's contagious. ben stokes played a shot that even confused the camera operator. england marked their 1,000th test with a batting collapse. almost for old times' sake. i suppose a little bit of a mixed bag. a couple of missed opportunities in a day, but both sides haven't batted yet so we don't really know what a good school is. looking at the last couple of overs, still a bit of lateral movement with

an old ball. we have a few guys that can get that all going sideways and hopefully we can exploit that. celtic after to the qualifying round of the champions league. they led 3-1 of the champions league. they led 3—1 from the leg, despite the norwegians having the better of the chances, he couldn't help as celtic go through to face athens in the next round of. the football association is considering a bid to host the world cup in 2030. the last major tournament played in england was euro 96, which came 30 years after the country hosted its only world cup — in 1966 of course. and after the success of this summers world cup, the fa have announced that they want gareth southgate to stay on as england manager beyond 2020, when his contract expires. england made the semi—finals in russia and fa chief executive martin glenn said he was "the definition of the modern manager we want." double commonwealth games gold

medallist becky downie is out of the british gymnastics team for the european championships — after sustaining an injury in training — she'll be replaced in the squad by taeja james. and that is all of the sport for now. keep a date with everything on the bbc sport website. that evening. time for a check on the weather and over the last few days, to bridges have been getting up days, to bridges have been getting up into the middle 20s in places. 0ver up into the middle 20s in places. over the next few days, some of us will get values into the 30s. for tomorrow, a warm and humid feel to the weather, sunshine in places but not everywhere because if you are recent satellite picture you can see this cloud ploughing its way in from the atlantic. a very moist south—westerly flow of air working across the country. warm and humid
