tory, the person you vote for the tory, the person you vote for may well be the next prominence. i think people looking at, pro brexit and anti—bursa, so they can penetrate this party and have a voice that i am denied at the deciduous a—level. voice that i am denied at the deciduous a-level. one of the questions is how popular is boris johnson out in the country, not in the party? in other words, if he we re the party? in other words, if he were party leader, how much of an asset would he be to the party?” think you will see major sponsors asset would he be to the party?|j think you will see major sponsors on that if you look at what happened with his telegraph comment a few weeks back in his comments but the burqa in the language he used around that. when a part of the public, a large percentage agree with his comments. i think many will say that he isa comments. i think many will say that he is a man of the people, he understands our concerns and is not the correct as the rest of them, he gets us. but the same time, he has a lwa ys gets us. but the same time, he has always been very london centric and london focus, and many many of his opinions miniature go out to the rest of the country in the same way. but there is clearly a fear that he is someone who can indicate on the
10:46 pm
topic of brexit. when the trigger proposal to the government is trying to push her, many leave voters in particular site is not a brexit they we re particular site is not a brexit they were promised, not a clean brexit does not offer all the opportunity. if there is one thing he has been consistent on is the fact that he wa nts a clea n consistent on is the fact that he wants a clean brexit in that will resonate. ok, let's talk about something entirely different, this lady who fell into the water from a cruise ship and spent ten hours in the water. this is best store that has been running all day and it's fascinating that you could survive although the water was quite calm, quite warm. but even so, ten hours in the water before being rescued is quite some feet. yes, it is. first and foremost, i think she is still ina and foremost, i think she is still in a hospital in karachi but is not in any physical danger, i think she is waiting for her boyfriend. the question is —— croatia. but actually, is in all her fault? there
10:47 pm
is reported she had been arguing with her boyfriend during the whole week of the trip. she fell into the water quite late at night, was fished out around 10am in the morning. been there ten hours. there isa morning. been there ten hours. there is a possibility that alcohol might have been involved but i think there isa kind have been involved but i think there is a kind of happiness that thank goodness she is alive. the telegraph sign the mother of the cruise line's president slightly contorted, is saying she is a stupid woman because she thinks as she jumped off the ship. there have been rumours of this but i do not think any of this is substantiated. but obviously, if you are on this creature, not only is an inconvenience have to backtrack, but imagine being told someone backtrack, but imagine being told someone has fallen overboard, it is quite frightening. in that sense, you are right, it is a very happy ending to what could've been a tragedy. ten hours in the water not knowing if someone is coming back feed must be terrifying. ansah reports that she was singing to herself during this process. we do
10:48 pm
not know if you make it out alive, so not know if you make it out alive, so it is a positive story. but as someone so it is a positive story. but as someone who's being as responsible as they should be, you have to ask questions. another holiday related story, i suppose, questions. another holiday related story, isuppose, is questions. another holiday related story, i suppose, is the meltdown at gatwick that was reported in the metro. this is extraordinary. all the big screens for the flight information went down and so they ended up using good old marker pens and whiteboard ended up using good old marker pens and whiteboa rd to ended up using good old marker pens and whiteboard to tell everyone where the flights were. because a of —— chaos. where the flights were. because a of -- chaos. there is a picture of the whiteboard to work off from horrible office meetings as they do not want to be. the time of year when our airports get overcrowded and we have this kind of horrific british thing of walking we not do these things, why are there queues at heathrow, is a government, is incompetent administrators? i think workers adopting a basic approach as a measure reports is a refreshing thing slightly. there are worse
10:49 pm
things that can go wrong with your holiday than having to get the flight holiday than having to get the flight details and whiteboard. estimated that about 100,000 travellers mr blanca i is disappointed those who did not get to go on the holidays but i think this is a good reminder that we take out our files and ours computers and everything to everything to try to go back to the time when you did not have access to those kind of support andi have access to those kind of support and i did not know i would do and i think many do not. it breaks down into a meltdown and panic when a few id systems go bust. talking about meltdown, that is what this well is at the moment. the ft reporting the hyperinflation we're seeing there, they have this 95% currency devaluation that is just taking a few knots all the banknotes because it is like 2 million bolivars for a couple of tomatoes. good news is that the wages going up 3000% of the bad news is inflation is going to hit 1% this year, the imf bank.
10:50 pm
that's the value of your money is vomiting in the government has not to control of the currency. it has run budget deficits and it's been too much even though it is a wealthy country, they have been beyond their means. this new plan does not seem to have much support from the markets and what the visible in president has tried to do is link the value of this new currency they are bringing out to a crypto currency, bickel and style, as that which is linked to the countries will well. that is not a trade asset, markets are not like it if someone said to the ft that the president might as well have chosen that you need to unicorns. that is really sacking people have of the country, two and a half million, in a massive brain drain. it is not been very widely reported, this crisis. and it needs to be. devaluing the currency is not going to work, just as his toronto government under nicholas maduro has
10:51 pm
not worked. as an reports so, this is fantasy to think this is going to fix the situation. minimum wages going up 3000% or whatever is in there but business owners are saying is going to have a devastating impact on up on implement, which we know has plummeted. we know this is a terrible human rights crisis and a need to get more attention and i'm glad to see on the front page of the front page of yesterday. that will help stories and the daily mail talking about prostate hope for millions over 50 with a breakthrough ofa millions over 50 with a breakthrough of a fireman in dramatic cure the without surgery. yes, although we hear about new treatments that the nhs cannot for but here is a decision from the nhs they are going to give the green light tomorrow, so struggle which treats prostate but also potentially allows men to continue their sex life is normal in middle and older age so he will be
10:52 pm
hugely welcome for lots of able and is available at the nhs. yes, great news and go to your gp. many stories about how men put that off and this could really help. and we had the story in the guardian about measles and measles making a very alarming resurgence in europe. the resurgence of measles triggers a european health alert. very alarming, more than 141,000 cases health alert. very alarming, more than 1111 , 000 cases of health alert. very alarming, more than 141,000 cases of measles reported between january and june this year in europe. there were nearly 24,000 ahold 12 last year. —— 41,000 cases reported. is it going to usually in ukraine where it is the worst, 23,000 cases. really a lot of this comes to the scarcity around vaccinations, people feel like they could have side effects we re like they could have side effects were wrongfully they think that. but the real side effect is increased death particularly amongst young children and the elderly. the scare
10:53 pm
stories about around for a long time and they have really worried the medical establishment. people recall andrew wava, the now disgraced doctor here who went about the link between the mmr jab and autism. doctor here who went about the link between the mmrjab and autism. he came back with a film i think in 2016 which was blocked from attributed in some places in the us. the these rumours and reports that is good conspiracy they go viral on social media now. let's end with what has been a emotional today. the reunion of a handful of a handful of north and south korea is very briefly across the divide. this happens from time to time and is a very moving picture on the front page of the times there. and these are people who have won a lottery ticket to see their relatives who are separated by the divide. ticket to see their relatives who are separated by the dividem ticket to see their relatives who are separated by the divide. it is very emotional but something is very sinister about as well. there have been 20 reunions over the past 18 yea rs, been 20 reunions over the past 18 years, and over the three days, they get to their relatives for a total
10:54 pm
of 11 hours. they win a can begin to see relatives, brothers, sisters, children, for 11 hours and potentially never, ever again. imaginea potentially never, ever again. imagine a government that is so tyrannical having a scan of control over your tyrannical having a scan of control over your ability to see your loved ones. it is wonderful the people today have got to reconnect but there are not able to reach out into there are not able to reach out into the relatives, and just imagine living under such a brutal system that you are given maybe if you are lucky a few hours in a lifetime. and pictures we had earlier on in our report from south korea where you saw relatives holding each other possibly hands and then as the bus was driving off, sort of desperately clinging to each other and in being separated, knowing they will never see each other again probably. one of things i found very moving was 100 people won the lottery but only 89 families went across because the other 11 there, the relatives they hope to meet —— to me had died. there were those who thought maybe
10:55 pm
for the first time since the 1950s there were going to their loved ones, and in the door was closed like that. we talk a lot about the korean peninsula and all the negotiations seen with the us and donald trump and so forth, but this was a very human embodiment of what the divided korean insulin means in human terms. absolutely. i think it is right that donald trump reached out to kimjong—un to is right that donald trump reached out to kim jong—un to try to establish some kind of connection to potentially open up north korea's border so we must remember when they are sitting hands of this is a brutal dictator who has kept people into captivity. the you could only be so lucky as to potentially seek a relative was in your lifetime. as anything changes their meaning?|j think anything changes their meaning?” think the jury is really out and the problem is these meetings of people must destroy the north korean propaganda regions of the south is evil and the us is evil and that they are going to abate any moment. so we'd love to see these people
10:56 pm
reunited but how is that consistent with the north korean regime remaining in powerand remaining in control? ok, thank you for your review. we'll all be back for another look at tomorrow's papers at 11:30pm. 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. the bbc news at 11pm is coming up next. again, many thanks. good evening. for many places, sunshine was in short supply today. the cloud did break up a little bit, though, for some. this is how it look for a weather watcher at sundown. tomorrow, i'm hopeful the cloud will continue to break up. little bit more in the way of sunshine, but still a rather
10:57 pm
warm and humid feel. this is the satellite picture from today. you can see extensive cloud. the one place that did have some clear breaks was the north of scotland, and here we keep some clear, starry skies through the night, it is going to turn quite chilly. but further south, with extensive cloud cover, it will remain pretty warm. temperatures across parts of the south and the south—east maybe no lower than 17 or 18 degrees. there could be just the odd spot of drizzle here and there as well. so what we have for tuesday once again is this warm feed of south—westerly winds, some pretty moist air working in our direction, so still a lot of cloud around. and then up to the north—west, you can see this frontal system. that's going to start to influence our weather once we get towards the end of the day, but before that, most of us starting tuesday on a pretty cloudy note. probably the odd spot of drizzle around. through the day, though, that cloud should break up to reveal some spells of sunshine. a small chance for showers across eastern england, northern england, scotland, and that weather front i showed
10:58 pm
you is going to start pushing towards north—western scotland later in the day. but with the humid air in place, we get a bit of sunshine, temperatures could get to 26 or 27 degrees. now this frontal system, as it wriggles for a time across northern ireland and scotland, could bring a prolonged spell of heavy rain here as we head through tuesday night into the early hours of wednesday. then the front works down into northern england, the midlands, wales and the south—west, tending to fizzle as it goes. ahead of that, still some warm and humid air in place, but further north and west, something a little bit cooler and fresher, so let's have a look at the temperatures. aberdeen, glasgow, belfast around 17 degrees. contrast that with 27 further east in norwich. then as we go through wednesday night, this frontal system, which will have weakened, looks like pepping up again to break some heavy rain across the south—east. there is another cold front here and then behind that, we all get into some significantly cooler, fresher air coming from the north—west. so temperatures dipping away significantly as we head towards the end of the week.
10:59 pm
it will be breezy with a mixture of sunshine and heavy showers. this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at 11: the government takes over the running of birmingham prison from the private firm g4s as prisoners and inspectors describe appalling squalor and violence in the jail with staff asleep or locked in offices. i have seen peoplejust i have seen people just beaten up in front of staff, just like. organised fights. that happens a lot, organised flight. it is not out of control, but it is not far from it. the physical conditions were amongst the worst we have ever seen. a man appears in court charged with attempted murder after a car crashed outside the houses of parliament. the group representing hospitals and ambulance services in england warns there needs to better contingency planning to deal with the impact of a no—deal brexit on the nhs. also coming up — a flying start for a baby boy born
