the reason for the change is the wind direction change. we have lost that continental heat, and instead we are picking up more of an atlantic influence. it is quite warm, still. we have had temperatures into the mid—20s. but thursday could also bring some welcome rain in southern and eastern areas. there is uncertainty as to how far worse that rain will draft, but it could be quite intense for a time. elsewhere, they will be good deal of sunny weather. quite warm weather, despite only 21, 22 celsius, but they will be a rash of showers in northern western areas. it really could be very windy close to the coast surrounding this area of low pressure. look at those winds, for example, across the low countries further east. it is expected that will pressure to spin out of the way as we go through thursday night into friday, and then we will see the temperatures dipping away further south as well as further norther, as well as further northe, where we have already seen temperatures into single figures in the last couple of nights. as we move into friday, we see the ridge of high pressures trying to build in. that will tend to cut the showers ofd later in the day, but there could be quite a few big showers around on friday.

so, it is not guaranteed rain, because it is in the form of showers, but there will be some heavy ones, with hail and thunder, potentially, particularly, as you can see, across northern areas. but i wouldn't like to rule them out elsewhere full stop in the in the sunshine of course, it still lovely and warm. 22, 23 celsius. the weekend. well, actually it is a tale of two has=lves. it looks like most of the weather systems will be driven further north. so, again, some useful rain for part of scotland and northern ireland, western fringes of england and wales. but actually further south and east, we are in what we call a warm sector. so, there is warm air around, so as the cloud breaks, temperatures will leap up, low to mid 20s, we think. if that weather front does come through over the weekend, we will see a few shop showers on it, and then we're sat with low pressure into the early part of next week. on. we can would then had 20s for the time. there will be some nasty downpours further west. it is humid air, temporarily once again. it does look if it will be a brief heat, if you like, a brief spell across

southern and eastern areas, because the low pressure will move east and bring fresh atlantic air. a rash of showers, but not guaranteed for all. most of us will see some rain in the next few days. still 21 to 23 celsius. the reason for the change is that the jet stream has become more active. next week, it will state more active. it will drive low pressure a cross state more active. it will drive low pressure across our shores. we will find a spell of low pressure as we go through next week, pushing eastwards, then gradually high pressure will build again. most of the unsettled weather is likely to be in the north and west. that is where the wetters, windy is weather we'll be. high pressure will build towards the south. temperatures are little but above average. a little

bit below par considering the summer we have had. the latest headlines: the united states says it will impose sanctions on russia in response and the nerve agent attack on a former russian spyr agent attack on a former russian spy, and his daughter in salisbury. senior conservatives strongly criticised borisjohnson senior conservatives strongly criticised boris johnson for his comments about muslim women wearing the burqa. a nine—year—old girl has died after suffering a series head injury following a rock slide in north yorkshire. the duke of cambridge and the prime minister have attended commemorations in northern france to mark the centenary northern france to mark the ce nte nary of northern france to mark the centenary of the battle of amiens, the beginning of the end of world war i. the entire state of new south wales has been declared in drought. hello and welcome to our look

ahead to tomorrow's papers. with me are the guardian's political correspondentjessica elgot and michael heaver from westmonster.com. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the guardian splashes with the fall in the pound, amid fears britain is facing a no—deal brexit. the ft leads on saudi arabia selling canadian assets after the country criticised the arrest of a female activist. the express reports claims that rising energy bills could put lives at risk — after british gas announced an increase of almost four percent. the metro shows a nurse scalded by a patient — highlighting the dangers facing frontline nhs staff. the telegraph has scottish conservative leader ruth davidson condemning the borisjohnson burkha comments — saying wearing one is no different to wearing a crucifix. ruth davidson condemning the borisjohnson burqa comments — saying wearing one is no different to wearing a crucifix. the mirror also leads with the borisjohnson remarks —

and details increasing pressure on the former foreign secretary after more than a dozen tories spoke out against him. an eclectic bunch of front pages there — let's see what our reviewers make of it all. the times has the scoop are poisoning, with washington claiming that it could affect the economy. quite the mixture of front pages there, and lots of different headlines. but let'sjust there, and lots of different headlines. but let's just start with the telegraph, of course, the newspaper that had borisjohnson‘s original column which sparked this huge row. and jessica, picking up on these comments from ruth davidson saying that the burqas are no different from crucifixes. the

telegraph certainly got their money ‘s worth from his comments. this is going into the fourth day of talking about them. ruth davidson, waded in to criticise boris, she says that you would not have a similar kind of debate about the banning of a crew to six that —— crucifix. i think some people may say that there are different issues at play. in fact, boris wasn't even arguing for a ban on wearing a burqa, but this kind of ta kes on wearing a burqa, but this kind of takes on into another level, and maybe the fire gets turned elsewhere, . .. and maybe the fire gets turned elsewhere,... and boris showing no sign of backing down at the moment. absolutely not. i don't expect an apology. as the telegraph know, public opinion is about 60% of brits wa nt public opinion is about 60% of brits want to ban the burqa. to reiterate

again, he did not call for it to be banned, he said it should not be, but he criticised it. it is very interesting, people like ruth davidson getting involved in this row, because it continues that sense of split any conservative party. i think you are seeing the issue of who is going to succeed theresa may. obviously, borisjohnson who is going to succeed theresa may. obviously, boris johnson backed who is going to succeed theresa may. obviously, borisjohnson backed by brexiteers, potentially theresa may thinks that he could be the biggest challenge to her, so interesting dynamic of what has gone on internally and times of the conservative party, with theresa may ina conservative party, with theresa may in a precarious position. one of the things that the row really underlines is the problem that people have with what he wrote, is not really the issue, but the way that he described it, looking at letterboxes, and bank robbers. i think that places it, is in the same —— people even on the same kind of debate as the brexit as him, there's

outlandish comments are the kind of that sort of create unease among conservative mps about him being a potential leader or prime minister. the times also picks up on story. saying thatjohnson was right about the burqa, according to a leading imam. we have seen a number of voices from the islamic world saying that the burqa... this is the imam of the oxford islamic accommodation, basically saying that boris johnson should not apologise for telling the truth. there is no granite legitimacy for the burqa, and it is... the idea that you are sort of laying into islam as a religion, or you're having a go at muslims for criticising the burqa, that is not true. there are voices from inside islam, as well. and he was saying that he felt that the burqa and the

niqab repressive that the women who have to wear them. yes. and i think that what his critics would say is that what his critics would say is that from a feminist perspective, that from a feminist perspective, that as long as a woman has the choice to wear something, then you should be allowed to have a choice. in fact, that is what borisjohnson goes on to argue, saying that these are uncomfortable, dictated to women what to wear, which is why he doesn't think that the uk should follow suit to france and denmark have banned it. to go back to it, theissue have banned it. to go back to it, the issue that people have with it, is the flippant and insulting language about letterboxes and bank robbers that he used to describe it. and we have got a piece in the guardian today about, in blackburn, where similarlyjack guardian today about, in blackburn, where similarly jack straw, the four months foreign secretary made comments about the burqa, you did say that it could be banned. people that were saying, these kind of

comments, the way that you describe people, make people want to retreat in themselves, and might even say to people, we want to wear it more regularly, as an act of defiance. well, the mirror is pretty clear. of its view on all of this. there we have, the pariah! the huge headline. they laid into borisjohnson the other day, as well, on the foreign office... what it reflect is that i do think that people are looking ahead now beyond me, and i think theresa may, that is, —— beyond me. lots of people see him as a potential threat, and they see him as an opportunity to sort of laying out as a result of beyond the pale character, users very outlandish

things, and is very uncomfortable, and he cannot be able mainstream figure. but i do think that a lot of mirror leaders will look at this headline, and agree with him. i think there is a danger in attacking him, that could backfire. letsjust move on, jessica, look at your paper's main story, which is the pound sliding has no—deal brexit fears prompt a global sell—out. pound sliding has no—deal brexit fears prompt a global sell-out. yes, it feels a significant moment. the pound has slumped to its lowest level this year, not something that i think many brits will want to hear, perhaps before people had often a summer holidays, do think this is... really companies in the city starting to take note of the prospect of no deal. it comes on the back of comments by mark carney of the back of england saying, it is uncomfortably high how likely that is. i think prompted by some very difficult votes that theresa may had

in parliament, right at the end of the year, the parliamentary year, when she only scraped through and if you votes, a lot of disquiet in the tory party, disquiet in the labour party, and the fact that europe has not responded that as positively as they might have liked. liam fox, the international trade secretary saying that he thinks the likely had a 60-40. that'll that he thinks the likely had a 60—40. that'll make a lot of companies nervous, and it is starting to show. because ministers are openly talking about the prospect of no deal now. absolutely. theresa may, of course, she said that no deal is better than a bad deal, but it's a very quiet. but the oppression was that they were not taking the preparations were no deal that grisly, and think brussels have beena that grisly, and think brussels have been a lot more uncompromising than they imagined, some may even say jump they imagined, some may even say jump like in their approach, and think that is now reflected in this round off of rhetoric is. is it

enough, to be wrapping it up so close to the deadline, though, i think it is weakness from the government. there does seem to be a bit of a dilemma in the government, that they don't want to create scare stories, but they want to show that they are making reparations than ideal. i think that it is relatively... it is kind of a political move, as well. although not some in that i am sure that they would desire for this to happen, and we are told that the cabinet officers are going to start issuing lots of different warnings for several sectors of society about the impact that no deal could have. i think that that is a way of selling theresa may's deal to the british public, trying to underline the problem that no deal could cause the country, and the same time, then, you have got to walk a very tight tightrope to say, well then aren't you just showing brussels that no

deal isn't really a desirable thing for the country. so it is a difficult thing to play. let'sjust go back to the times and look at one of the other stories that has been making the headlines, here, this evening. the united states to sanction russia over the skripal poisoning. quite a surprisingly been some ways? than mac yes. lots of people have views on the trump is german —— people have views on the trump is german -- yes. lots of people have views on the job and ministers. you are seeing a predictability. i think thatis are seeing a predictability. i think that is a good thing, i think it is healthy. being predictable isn't the healthiest thing in the world. described as a surprise and these actions are expected to relate to national security, technology and goods to russia. hundreds of million dollars, and will affect around 7% of russian economy. this is big, big

stuff. i would just point out that i think it shows that president is sort of dealing with everyone in quite a fairand sort of dealing with everyone in quite a fair and harsh way, in terms of this america first approach. the idea that he is closing up to putin in russia, this would show different. it implies that it comes off the back of the state department concluding its own investigations of intelligence into what happened, and coming to the same conclusion as the british intelligence that about it. i think one of the interesting things about it is that it comes out of nowhere. off the back of a summit where trump did it with —— that trump did with putin, when he entered by tip him to come to the white house. —— when he invited him. he had one of his closest aides delivering a letter personally to president putin. i think it was an

american major us politician. i think people need to get used to it. we saw it with north korea. it is carrot, and is stick. he is not cosying up. it is unpredictable. do think that is a plan then?” cosying up. it is unpredictable. do think that is a plan then? i think it is the strategy of a businessman. you do not necessarily want the other side to know what you are saying and what you're thinking. you can will measure is it that you're not expecting. you are in control, rather different only way that you. interestingly, if you speak to the people in number ten, they will say, the visit that you come here, they seemed to criticise... the rhetoric was not particularly helpful, but they would say, forget all about, look at what he has done, and he being supportive. i don't know... how you square that is too. let's move on, and get to another couple

of front pages. the express has picked up on this energy bill rise, saying that it is going to put lives at risk. it is a horrific story, rising wind deaths, 20,000 elderly people could die every year from the cold, a 4% rise, and ijust think, you know, in a society, developed society, relatively rich country, to have elderly people dying in the winter, this is not necessarily new, but we have seen a lot for a number of years. it might be rising, but we have seen it before, it is disgraceful. do you want a cap on the energy prices? no. green taxes are adding a significant amount of money on the cost of this. we have got our own elderly freezing to death, thing that is pretty dire. got our own elderly freezing to death, thing that is pretty direm will be quite a significant rise for a lot of people, particular on top incomes. and it really does put another squeeze on household

incomes. and that is something that might even increase, because we are hearing that there will be potentially tax rises, and maybe even national insurance rises with the budget roles in the summer. in the budget roles in the summer. in the autumn, sorry. one of the things in the conservative manifesto was that there was some talk about whether to take away some people with means tested winter fuel allowa nce. with means tested winter fuel allowance. with headlines like this, maybe that is something that is not going to be on the table. and no sign ofan going to be on the table. and no sign of an energy cap, either. we have heard consultations about sort of whether ofgem should be able to put more restrictions on people, but yes, the department of business say that they will act if the industry doesn't act, but there has been an awful lot of consultations about an awful lot of consultations about an awful lot of things coming out of this government, and yes, we will see when the budget was around that they —— whether they are prepared to

ta ke they —— whether they are prepared to take action. into sting, let's return to the telegraph, uk's richest man is taking his £21 billion fortune after monaco. interesting chap. he is a joiner's son, grammar school boy, now 31 billion, dodoo potentially moving his fortune to monaco. the rumour that he might buy chelsea fc, so maybe he will buy football club, bow or maybe it is to do with a potential tax reason, as jessica spoke about earlier. he did travel to matters. surprisingly, maybe it became less fun for him during the last period, but it is not particularly transparent, the reason why he has moved to monaco. there are some speculation there, in the

daily telegraph. might be summit to do with tax, yeah. but, like michael said, it is not a great indication for the uk that people who were self—made billionaires, as he is, think that this is not the right environment for them. think that this is not the right environment forthem. but, think that this is not the right environment for them. but, perhaps, he just likes... although we environment for them. but, perhaps, hejust likes... although we have had nice weather. and just very briefly, all of those efforts to close tax loopholes, people still able to... at the wealthiest are able to... at the wealthiest are able to... at the wealthiest are able to move their money around the world and avoid tax bills. that is the world that we now live in. if you look at talk about throwing money and increasing taxes, you have got to realise that successful rich people who pay huge amounts of tax in this country can just move. people who pay huge amounts of tax in this country canjust move. you need to keep them there. thank you very much indeed. that's it for the papers this hour — but we will be back at half past eleven with more.

you can also see the front pages on the bbc news website at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss this programme you can watch it on bbc iplayer. thank you jessica elgot and michael heaver. adam peaty‘s dominance in the pool continues. the british won his third gold in the championships, having already taken hold in the 100 metres restorick, and in the next four hundred metre medley, it is called again. taking his tally to 11 european titles. it is in this event that he was beaten at the commonwealth games, his first defeat infouryears, commonwealth games, his first defeat in four years, but he can now add to his tally in the relay, tomorrow. chill out, rest down, get a massage,

reach the good of finals. after the drama of the first test, which injured one, what a time to make a debut. ollie pope comes into the second test of the series, it is a game that has got a lot of people talking. test cricket may have been dropping off the radar slightly, but england captain, joe root, things the match at edgbaston has caught the match at edgbaston has caught the attention once again. there has been a lot of those negativity around test cricket. i don't think that much has changed. when you play here, the clouds always fantastic. it generally serve that three well. we have been involved as a brilliant test matches in recent times, so that was a great example of it, lastly, and i'm sure with two very good side, you are going to get a few more games that will be very enthralling throughout this series, anyway. super league side wigan warriors have announced that the wealth rugby union defence coach, shaun edwards, is to be their new head coach, joining the club after next yea r‘s

head coach, joining the club after next year's rugby was cut in japan. edwards will see out his contract with the welsh rugby union, and continue to work with warren gatland through next year. and that is all the sport now. hello, there. it was a pretty one day across the south—east, nowhere near as hot as it has been. there were a few showers across the country, too, and a fresher feel to things. now the sun was setting, during these evening, but heinz and —— behind some clouds. most of those is about throughout part of the night, but the rest of the week, set to stay a bit cooler, with sunshine. the reason that it is cooler, is we are picking up atlantic airflow. the orange colour, which is intense heat across the continent. the rest of the night will be dry and clear,

light winds, a few showers returning to the west of scotland and western parts of northern ireland, and across the south—east corner, more cloud and if you showers. that will keep temperatures up. it could be quite a chilly night, dipping now to low single figures out of town. a cool site of the day across northern areas, bright with sunshine. showers will get going, particularly crossed the north—west of the country. they could be heavy, and maybe thundery. then of course the south—east, thicker cloud, and outbreaks of rain, and increasing breeze. now, this feature, a bit of uncertainty as to how westwards it is going to come, but it could bring some heavy rain to parts of kent and east anglia. further west, a moderate amount of rain, but it could be a bit of a grotty evening, when the winds pick up, and it will feel cooler than of late. that low pressure, it pushes off into

scandinavia, high—pressure tries to build, area of low pressure waiting in the wings for this weekend. the friday, though, another day of sunshine and showers. showers could be quite heavy, even with the risk of thunder and lightning next, some areas staying dry altogether, with some goods as an sunshine, and those temperatures 7—22d, but actually pretty typical of this type yamac time of year, now, high—pressure begins to establish itself across the south—east, but this area of low pressure will be coming hurtling in just in time for the weekend. this remains a lot of uncertainty as to where this area may end up. most of the north and west of uk, with better chances across the south and east of staying dry and sunshine. things could change, so stay tuned to the forecast. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. the headlines:

the us is to place sanctions on russia in response to the poisoning of the former russian double agent sergei skripal and his daughter in the uk. the death toll rises in indonesia. at least 150 people are now known to have died in the lombok earthquake. i'm babita sharma in london. also in the programme: total drought. the entire australian state of new south wales suffers its driest start to the year for five decades. remembering amiens. a ceremony is held to commemorate the campaign which helped bring about the end of the first world war.
