around as well. perhaps some showers around as well. many of us do need some appreciable rain, is there any in the outlook? well, there is a chance of some showers. with a west north—westerly wind, they are going to be across western and north—western parts of the country. maybe not very much appreciable rain in the south—east, what we will see is much cooler weather. bye—bye. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines. samantha eastwood say they have found a body. three people have been arrested. labour's deputy leader tom watson warns the party is in danger of making itself unfit for government unless it halts the damaging arguments over anti—semitism. two thirds of all plastic food packaging sent for recycling is buried or burned because it can't actually be recycled what we need to do is drive designers and manufacturers and brand retailers to go towards those types of packs which are more easily recycled. europe continues to swelter in

intense heatwaves. donald campbell's rebuilt bluebird is back in the water, more than 50 years after it crashed on coniston water. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the business journalist, john crowley and the author and journalist, yasmin alibhai—brown. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the sunday times has an interview with the international trade secretary, liam fox, who puts the odds of the uk leaving the eu without a deal at 60—a0 — placing the blame on the european commission. another ongoing political issue,

the row over anti—semitism in the labour party, makes the front page of the sunday telegraph. it says the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, is facing criticism for his links to a smear campaign against a jewish leader. the nhs has been warned it's at risk of breaking the law if it doesn't offer transgender patients awaiting surgery access to fertility treatments. that's according to the observer. the mail on sunday claims information about britain's new stealth fighterjets has been leaked to an as—yet unidentified third party, in what the paper calls an "audacious honeytrap plot". a story we've covered today features on the front page of the sunday express — detectives searching for missing midwife samantha eastwood have found a body and made three arrests. and the sunday mirror says the duchess of sussex is thought to be preparing for a reunion
11:33 pm
with herfather in the us. let us start with the latest twist of the anti—semitism row. tom watson really laying into his own party leader. a lot of insiders are feeling exactly what he said, that there is, you know, a realfear that there is, you know, a realfear that the labour party is imploding and he says it will disappear into a vortex of eternal shame and embarrassment. it has gone on for very long. this thing has been bubbling for a very long time. and then he goes onto say in the observer, there is a longer interview inside, that margaret
11:34 pm
hodge and ian austin who were very critical about the latest anti—semitism row. critical about the latest anti-semitism row. they both direct league criticised jeremy corbyn. that they should therefore be pursued and it has always been a terrible idea. in this article, tom watson thinks the investigation should be dropped. exactly. i don't think margaret hodge was right when he said jeremy corbyn —— when she said jeremy corbyn was a racist and an anti—semite. the definition and exa m ples an anti—semite. the definition and examples should be wholly adopted. that is problematic notjust the labour party voters but lots of other people, i think. labour party voters but lots of other people, ithink. it labour party voters but lots of other people, i think. it says something about quite the scale of this will row. if you have the deputy leader on the front page of a national paper attacking his own leader? it feels like death by a thousand cuts. this is being played
11:35 pm
out in the papers, horrendous. there is no doubt there is politicking at play here. margaret hodge and tom watson wouldn't be fans ofjeremy corbyn and his policy. but tom watson is trying to address that. further inside, one of the quotes,, "i frequently had difficult conversations with both margaret and ian but what i understand is that your critics are not your enemy is on an issue that is so dear to them, i think people are very, very concerned that these investigations should be dropped". it seems the most obvious thing to do. s margaret hodge doesn't even know what she has been accused of. ——s margaret hodge. it happens all the time, people have robust conversations in parties. as it mean you should have a
11:36 pm
disciplinary charge? labour has refused to accept all of the examples. there are extremely highly respected, knighted, jewish lawyers who have come out and said there is a problem with the examples, certainly. but it could suppress legitimate criticism of israel. if i werejeremy corbyn or pa rt israel. if i werejeremy corbyn or part of the inner circle, i would give this general —— gift this example and get them to come back and ask how it should be adjusted so we can still criticised the policies of the state of israel. he's trying to address that in the piece he wrote in the guardian on saturday. where he said we need to listen a little bit more. we have been banging on about... that he should
11:37 pm
hand over the power. it should be handed over to them. did think it would do that? it if he had any sense, he would. it isn't up to any of us to do it. it is the people who have been most hurt by this will stop it seems labour party has been tearing itself asunder. we might be moving on to brexit in a second. we will go straight onto that. this is the story on the front page of the sunday times. no deal brexit is odds on, says trade secretary. this is liam fox saying that he now thinks it is 60- 40 the liam fox saying that he now thinks it is 60— a0 the likelihood of an ideal brexit. this is a strange one because rex the tears have been accusing remainers of talking about project fear and no deal brexit. —— brexiteers. liam fox has come out
11:38 pm
and said this and has accused bureaucrats of having an illogical obsession with eu rules rather than economic well—being obsession with eu rules rather than economic well— being which obsession with eu rules rather than economic well—being which would lead to only one outcome. well, you could argue that brexiteers theologically have theological obsessed and themselves with... not just have theological obsessed and themselves with... notjust liam fox. we have people, the bank of england, all sorts of people who actually know stuff. is that he just simply asa actually know stuff. is that he just simply as a senior minister who is involved in this, looking at whether negotiations are going and thinking, look, 60— a0 a... negotiations are going and thinking, look, 60- 40 a... actually, i don't often say things like this but i do feel sorry for theresa may, cornered as she is by these bully boys like rees—mogg and others who will not relent. they want this hard brexit. don't they? bank of england governor said, ithink don't they? bank of england governor said, i think on friday, that the chances of leading through a hard
11:39 pm
brexit was uncomfortably high and he then was accused of being the high priest of project fear. here is a fear here, that is doom mongering. i think it is the award and a to deploy because we have seenjeremy hunt, the foreign secretary, travelled through europe and talk about a hard brexit and no deal would play into russian hands and would play into russian hands and would have a serious effect on european countries and theresa may have been playing ftse with the french president. this has divided the tory party. both countries are riven. interesting to see at the back of the sunday telegraph, former labour home secretary saying that he thinks that if there were to be another referendum, britain would vote to leave again. but also, strongly criticising people who suggest that there is some element of racism in those who have been supporting brexit. i'm sorry, this is the other thing. some of us know
11:40 pm
that not all brexiteers were racists, we know that. but all racists, we know that. but all racists are brexiteers. that is the thing. some of us are feeling the burden upon our skin. all racists voted to leave because they want their country back. ok? don't tell us their country back. ok? don't tell us there is no racism behind it. you should see the attacks i am getting since brexit and many, many people. and the police have reported an increase in incidence of really quite bad at this and attacks. mr plu nkett quite bad at this and attacks. mr plunkett is not right on this, actually. leigh we don't see the rest of the interview here but —— we don't see the rest of the interview. we are not going to vote again but i wonder if he's tried to shut down the talk of a second referendum. people who are people who decided to
11:41 pm
leave, would they do it again now?|j think leave, would they do it again now?” thinkjust in greening was right, the three options. she is calling for a second referendum. she said something very important. she said 13 million people never voted. 17 million people voted out, 60 million voted in. —— 16 million. million people voted out, 60 million voted in. -- 16 million. let's look at some of the other papers and a couple of other stories making the front page of the papers. john, the news that boys are leading a slump in university applicants. this is the back of the sunday times. yes, this story says the first sign that young people are turning their backs on university education is expected next week when more than a quarter ofa next week when more than a quarter of a million a—level pupils get their results. it is apparently being led by young man whose
11:42 pm
applications to university are at their lowest for three years. we have been talking about whether this is the love island effect. people would rather turn their bodies to get on love island rather than...” don't know! also, they want to be footballers. my son who is seven talks about it. we are talking about role models. it is notjust about demographics. i think there is a serious debate to be had about positive role models for young boys and how particularly in school, particularly when you are a young teenager, seem to be studious, seemed to be... and the cost of higher education. on this jeremy corbyn has been right all along. this hike in fees has put off a lot of kids from working—class families, especially boys. and the article also talks about the fact that some
11:43 pm
more mature students or part—time stu d e nts more mature students or part—time students are also, the numbers of those are also declining.” students are also, the numbers of those are also declining. i don't think that everybody is meant to go to university or that it is some kind of... which the article addresses. we should also be developing in other sectors are other kinds of talents. i find it very sad that boys and men are not applying because university is not just about getting a degree. it opens your mind. isjust take a look at one of the other stories. the sunday mirror, one of many papers who has just off the duchess of sussex, meghan markle, out at a wedding yesterday. the news here in the mirror, a world exclusive, they are claiming, she will reunite with her dad. lots to catch up on, haven't they? (laughs). a bit of action they're? we were wondering
11:44 pm
whether they would be an meghan markle story to accompany the meghan markle story to accompany the meghan markle picture because she was pictured at this wedding yesterday. apparently they will reunite. again, reading the news over the last few weeks, palace courtiers apparently running around like headless chickens wondering how they are going to manage the situation with thomas who seems to be speaking to sunday newspapers quite a bit. embarrassing relatives. we have all got them. maybe not your dad.” would love to be a flower on the wall. dad, why did you speak to this paper? what did you think you were doing?! and he will be telling the papers his story of his reunion with meghan markle! and there, we must leave it. thank you very much indeed. that is it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see
