because low pressure is pretty close by in northern parts, high pressure generally speaking is pretty close to the south of the uk. from time to time we do shift these were the jigsaw puzzle pieces around a little bit, on thursday the low pressure comes further south and we will get some rain even into south—eastern areas. to the midlands and the south—west of england, the day sta rts south—west of england, the day starts with a brain which will move into east anglia and the south—east. sunny skies, 50 showers into the north—west and because we will be bringing the weather in from the north—west, the temperatures head downwards, 16— 20 degrees. there is another frontal system moving into north—western areas as to get into friday, but high—pressure tries to re—establish self down to the south. we are back to that fairly standard summer we are back to that fairly standard summer weather. we are back to that fairly standard summer weather. some we are back to that fairly standard summer weather. some rain across northern ireland, western scotland england and wales. the further south you are, the more dry. it will be breezy across the north—west of scotla nd

breezy across the north—west of scotland 40—40 mph wind. to the south and with the dry weather, the warmth will start to return. we have to see what is going on right now in the atlantic. this book of cloud is subtropical storm banesto, not a threatening storm but a lot of and moisture, whenever these do to our shores our computer models struggle little bit, it throws things of course, so little bit, it throws things of course, so that brings uncertainty in how we can forecast. it looks like low pressure will mainly be close to the north of the uk once again, so we will see some wet weather and some breezy weather at times. always likely to be driest and warmest towards the south—east. saturday not a bad day, some dry weather and spells of sunshine, a few showers but they will fade away into the afternoon. with our storm moving up from the south—west we will import pretty warm air into the south, based on bridges up into the

mid— 20s celsius and by sunday, here isa lump mid— 20s celsius and by sunday, here is a lump of what weather likely to move is a lump of what weather likely to m ove a cross is a lump of what weather likely to move across northern ireland, northern england, wales and the midlands, uncertainty about exactly where that rain will show up and down to the south it is another relatively warm day. as the goat out of sunday into monday, high pressure still to the south, a fairly familiar tale. at trailing front which will bring cloud, rain across scotland, northern ireland into northern england at times. still, the further south and east you look thatis the further south and east you look that is so we will have the highest temperatures began getting up into the middle 20s and the pattern looks set to continue as we go through next week. high pressure still close to the south, errors of low pressure moving towards the north, but there is just moving towards the north, but there isjust a moving towards the north, but there is just a chance that at time this high—pressure world moved a little bit further north, back to give us some generally dry weather across the country at times. as a rule of thumb, next week it will be latest

towards the north and the west, warmest towards the south and east, fairly standard summer weather continues. hello, this is bbc news. we will be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines: the number of dead after the genoa bridge collapse is now 39, with emergency crews still searching for survivors. people were running, screaming, shouting in italian, "run, out of cars, out of cars." so we just literally — "kids, run, run," ‘cause we didn't know what was happening. police have been given more time to question 29—year—old salih khater, the man arrested after the suspected terror attack in westminster. the bbc will not appeal after losing a high court privacy case brought by sir cliff richard over its coverage of a police raid on his home. president trump has revoked the security clearance of former cia directorjohn brennan.

the white house says mr brennan used his to access to sensitive information to make unfounded allegations against the administraion. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broacaster david davies, and owen bennett, deputy political editor of the news website the huffpost. the metro leads with the england rugby star danny cipriani's alleged assault on a police officer at a nightclub on the island ofjersey. his picture also features on the front of the telegraph, which leads on a report claiming the eu's brexit negotiations are being bugged by the british secret service. the sun also leads with danny cirpriani, and wishes madonna a happy birthday.

she is 60. 0n a—level results day, the i reports that universities are offering cash to students with unconditional places. also featuring a—level results day is the times, but the paper leads on the collapsed bridge in genoa in northern italy. the ft has a story on investors selling off investments in emerging markets, this after the tit—for—tat tarif row between the us and turkey. the mirror claims the duchess of sussex's dad is asking for financial help for his retirement. and the guardian leads with the bbc‘s decision not to appeal against a high court ruling in its privavcy case with sir cliff richard. front page of the daily express,

still dominating many of the papers, that calamity in genoa. we just ran for our lives, british family's reached her. more stories coming out now from survivors who managed to escape that horrible, horrible experience. yes, and this picture on the express i think is particularly striking because you canjust the express i think is particularly striking because you can just really imagine these cars, this lorry driving up to the edge, and this lorry right on the edge, just yards from where the section collapsed. and just imagine what that driver would have seen there. and i think it is an absolutely stunning picture, because to me it's sort of brings homejust the kind of reality of seeing all the rest of the road is still there, but just of seeing all the rest of the road is still there, butjust this section gone. it is incredible, and of course the recriminations are starting now. we have the government blaming the eu, blaming the contractor for the maintenance on this ridge and other infrastructure

projects around italy. the blame game is really, really getting into gear here. but the fact is, we still don't know at this stage why this thing collapsed, why it fell apart. and it is extraordinary it should happen in the year of 2018, whatever the cause of it was. the blame game, you do wonder how would we deal with something awful like this. but didn't we say the same thing about grant holt? and how could this happen in 2018? the reality is, these things do happen. the really worrying thing, not the only worrying thing, not the only worrying thing, not the only worrying thing, the really worrying thing, for me about this, is that as i understand it there have been other bridge concerns, expressions of concern, about other bridges in italy in recent times. so my instinct is that, you know, you can start passing the buck from this person and that person and the other

person, but ultimately a major road bridge of this sort, the government, a government, they have a lot of governments in italy, one must say, will have to answer. yes, the suggestion is that a lot of the money that has been earmarked to deal with upgrading infrastructure across italy is either lost through corruption or mismanagement, and thatis corruption or mismanagement, and that is certainly in the last decade, at least. i have family who live in italy, my wife is italian so i spend a lot of time in southern italy. and one of the things which are sort of known there is that for example some of the things like the waste services contracts that go out, these do go out on a corrupt basis. and some of the waste isn't dealt with robert lee. it is very much part of the culture there. it is very difficult for us in this country where we are very bureaucratic and by and large we don't have the sort of corruption to

get our head around it. —— dealt with properly. i am not saying that was the case in the bridge incident at all, but there is another column that runs alongside the government's bureaucracy. a lot of people there get paid cash in hand, a lot of people don't have any interaction with the state, the police, for example, don't interact with people the same way the police do here. of course, one of the reasons that having a currency which fits the call at europe was never going to work, because there are so many different cultures —— the whole of europe. applications at university hitting a record low. the issue here is of course a demographic. the fact is of course a demographic. the fact is that there are more... it is a good time. the times story says it isa bumperyearto good time. the times story says it is a bumper year to be university applicant. i suspect that lots of

children or students waiting for those a—level results tomorrow, let alone their parents, wouldn't actually feel that tonight. but their chances do seem to be significantly better than three or four years ago, because there are fewer of them. but the reality is, a surprising fact, perhaps, to some people, is that the percentage of 18 —year—olds going to higher education has never been at a higher level. but it is going to be... there are universities, top russell group universities, top russell group universities, who will be in clearing tomorrow who have very rarely been there before. the likes of warwick university, which is way up of warwick university, which is way up there in the world ranking of universities around the planet. so i mean there is not only that, but there are some key factors in the statistics that have come out today, and modern languages, students are

not doing modern languages. nursing, they are not doing nursing, because of course there used to be bursaries and there are no longer grants. and you are writing a book about michael gove. should he be responsible for all that is going on right now, do you think? well, he implemented trying to introduce more rigour into the exam system, trying to take a back to the exam system of the past. that is why we see people being put off doing certain degrees because it is seen as being tougher now. what is seen as being tougher now. what is interesting, it says here that british students pay £27,000 over three years for these courses. when tuition fees were introduced, the idea was supposed to be that there would be a variation on the market, that some were charged £9,000 a year and some would charge £3000 a year, and some would charge £3000 a year, and that was supposed to help drive competition. that is not even

mentioned any more. that was a big thing when tony blair did it and when the tories carried it on. it was supposed to introduce competition. but this is clearly not happening. why is this not being talked about. where is this great thatcherite competition drive? everytime there is a discussion like this on this programme, i have to remind people, as education correspondent in the 1980s, that the idea of 50% of 18 —year—olds going to university came from... she was called margaret thatcher, lady thatcher, and her secretary of state at the time, kenneth baker. people always think it was tony blair, education, education, education. but it came from there. was their talk of charging? there was talk of charging even in those days, for sure, and there were all sorts of ideas around that time. the national curriculum came in at that time. all this testing at seven, 11 and 14

came in at that time. but what of the great failings of my generation has been, there is a complete failure of political consensus on education, and on health, for that matter, and every time anybody tries to find it, it is knocked back. so every time you get a change of government, teachers have more bureaucracy and more changes in the way that we treat our students. in the profession finds that very difficult to deal with. if we go to the i, universities offering 1000 bribes to smart students, universities which probably would never be anywhere near the clearing and off the chart, i suppose. now you are getting them in there, because of the money which is involved, and they are handing out rides for the smartest students. and this is a strange one, with teenagers given unconditional offers to make sure they don't slack off

with their subjects. it seems a strange circumstance. hang on a minute. the so—called rides. you are immediately jumping to the conclusion they are coming from these top universities. they are not necessarily, that is the first point. the other thing about unconditional offers, which are not a new thing, they have been around for several years, they have been... there are a number of universities who believe that they can spot real potential in students at an early stage, and they want those students in the university. and that is where unconditional offers came from. let's go to the daily mail. 0ur house prices set to take a tumble? as property sales fall across the uk. they are already falling, aren't they? apparently they are going to fall even faster, or harder, or however things fall at an exponentially, and not just however things fall at an exponentially, and notjust in london, so this matters. across the

north, the north—east, towns and cities such as winchester, 0xford, wig and blackpool have been mentioned. it seems some of the heat is coming up of the market —— we came “— is coming up of the market —— we came —— wickham and blackpool. and it seems," the silly money demanded by sellers, and there has been this massive overheating of the housing market. it seems that nobody has learnt the lessons of the 2008 crash, because everyone is doing exactly the same thing as they did in the run—up to that. we hope we will not seek a kind of sub—prime mortgage crisis like we did in 07— 08. some might say that brexit has something to do with this? you may say that. i said some people, not me! iam say that. i said some people, not me! i am making that very clear. but the other thing, the other thing

here, is some of us who have seen these ups and downs before, this is absolutely right that there is up has gone on since 2008. there has been a longer up. probably prices have started to go down in london, actually several months, if not a year ago. now it is spreading out, as it so often does. those of us of an older disposition will still believe, just, that property and investment in property in the medium to long—term is still a good one. investment in property in the medium to long-term is still a good one. to the telegraph. sajid javid, may roll on police pay. —— may roll. —— may wrong. this is my parliament, the part i

live in the midlands. he has had quite a route remarkable career, it is not so long ago that people were saying he would lose his cabinet place altogether. against everybody‘s expectations, he was a remainer and now suddenly, here he is, he is being kept as, if not their favourite, to be is, he is being kept as, if not theirfavourite, to be the next prime minister. may certainly he does not seem to be concerned or frightened in any way at all about suggesting that his predecessor, one of his predecessors at the home 0ffice might have got a few things wrong. he will be furious for the fa ct wrong. he will be furious for the fact that asking for more money for the police has made it into the telegraph. how did that happen? maybe his officers are bugged by mi5. maybe his officers are bugged by m15. probably. he has basically

drawn on the immigration targets, he won't endorse that. he is planning his own furrow here and he is unmistakable because theresa may has had to put it into the home office, someone had to put it into the home office, someone who forget to drips with the wind rush scandal. if you are into that, why not? he was too close, he should do his own thing, why not? she gave him an inch. why not a mile? madonna on the independent! she is still going for it. life can still get it, you know, when you are older. and because memories fade. madonna used to be cool, wasn't she terribly controversial and a bit raunchy and a bit this? within bounds. yes yes. she wouldn't be on the disney channel, let's put it that way. in middle england... a bit fresh! once you get to 55 and 60,

this is advice for you young man! patronise. 0nce this is advice for you young man! patronise. once you get to 50 and 60, you become whatever your past was, you 60, you become whatever your past was, you can 60, you become whatever your past was, you can become a national or international treasure. that's right. to your member donna allen? —— do. she is lady gaga's mother? all right, 0k. well happy birthday match, congratulations. ishould right, 0k. well happy birthday match, congratulations. i should say that madonna at 60, queen of queens, wasn't afraid to break the silence on 805. very out5poken a5 wasn't afraid to break the silence on 805. very out5poken as someone who on 805. very outspoken as someone who set up for the gay community at a time when lots of people didn't in the 805 and so on. finally, alexa might have an accent, might not have an accent. you use voice recognition
