11:30 pm
and its position on about the rain and its position on tuesday, and that continues later into next week. the main computer model shows low pressure coming from the atlantic. this is quite a big area of low pressure pushing away the high across most of the uk. that looks quite extreme. it could be that we still have high pressure gci’oss that we still have high pressure across the azores, pushing across the southern half of the uk, and it might bring warmth as well. remember, further north later next week, we still have lower pressure, so week, we still have lower pressure, so it'll be cooler with some showers or some long spells of rain, but further south it doesn't look quite as bad, but of course the story could change over the next few days. hello.
11:31 pm
this is bbc news with shaun ley. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. president trump says he's done nothing wrong as his former lawyer pleads guilty in court to breaking the law on election finance — michael cohen claims mr trump ordered him to pay hush—money to two alleged former mistresses. over 1,000 children born in the uk to eu nationals have been told they can't renew their passports because of a home office error. an illegal gun factory is uncovered by crime investigators on an industrial estate in east sussex. in desperate need of more radiologists — a warning that a shortage of doctors to interpret medical scans means the vital service could collapse. the unsigned cheques sent by ryanair as compensation for cancelled or delayed flights — leaving the passenger with bank charges. hello and welcome to our look ahead
11:32 pm
to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are katy balls, political correspondent at the spectator, and the political commentatorjane merrick. we would hear from them and just a moment. just to bring you up to date with the front pages, now. most of tomorrow's front pages are now in. the times says that president trump's once—trusted aide, michael cohen, has now offered to speak to the inquiry into alleged russian meddling in the 2016 us election. the ft also leads with the trump—cohen spat. but the newspaper also cites a poll, which suggests business chiefs rank a labour government under jeremy corbyn as the next scariest threat after brexit. the daily telegraph leads with mr corbyn calling on the bbc to reveal the social class of all its staff, in order to improve its diversity. the guardian says the labour leader
11:33 pm
wants a tax on tech giants like facebook and netflix, to subsidise the bbc licence fee. the sun claims the defence secretary, gavin williamson, has come up with a host of, what it calls, "crackpot ideas" to plug a 20 billion pound shortfall in his department's budget for new equipment. the daily express has a special investigation which suggests british trade can thrive, even if the uk ends up leaving the eu without a deal. it also says that the award for the world's highest paid actor has gone to george clooney. the daily mail reports on what it calls britain's "diabetes explosion", citing a new report which warns over soaring rates of the condition. and the same story makes the front page of the mirror, which warns that heart attacks and strokes are set to rise by 30 per cent, thanks to a surge in the number of high—risk type 2 diabetes sufferers. a very mixed bag indeed. let us
11:34 pm
straight in. katy, with britain's diabetes explosion on the front of the daily mail, this is something pretty striking. yes, this is unhealthy pretty striking. yes, this is u nhealthy lifestyles pretty striking. yes, this is unhealthy lifestyles that are increasing the chance of heart attacks and strokes. it says that by 2035, there will be about 400,000 more cases of heart disease, which will reach that level annually, surrey, which they are putting down to the fact that there are more unhealthy to the fact that there are more u nhealthy lifestyles, to the fact that there are more unhealthy lifestyles, and more people are developing diabetes type ii. —— sorry. depending on your surgeon ii. —— sorry. depending on your surgeon diabetes, it is an early stage, it is actually reversible, unlike diabetes type one. these things are preventable, but it does mean having to adopt a different type of lifestyle to that you have. and radical changes were some. we
11:35 pm
have some information, early this week and were talking about the number of youngsters developing type 2 diabetes very early on. one of the things that the professor spoke to about that — this not only damages the children themselves, but it could mean a significant cost to be health service, the consequences of a lifetime of the biggies. children before they leap a ritual are being classed as obese. —— lifetime of diabetes. the government is making plans for ashun attacks. the idea of this rise by 2032 is huge. and this is notjust this rise by 2032 is huge. and this is not just about eating that exercise. if the government wants to help the nhs and to save you money, thenit help the nhs and to save you money, then it needs to invest in more school sport. this habit of exercise is instilled in children early on,
11:36 pm
and that becomes part of their lives. one of the different kind of changes that has happened in the last ten years or so is that public health, which is to be part of the nhs, has been handed to local government in england, and local government in england, and local government budgets are not protected in the way nhs funding is. a lot of the message is and a lot of the preventative work is go by the board. yes, it is a huge strain. and it isa board. yes, it is a huge strain. and it is a similar plot to be social care, which is overarching and goes to the council. so i think it is an area where money is not ring—fenced. it is not easy to know what to do with us. a lot of people have been trying to raise awareness of balanced diets. but the children, if they are growing up in an environment where they are not getting that, and they learn to get an unhealthy la sarre, it is hard to
11:37 pm
reverse that. but a lot of people do realise that easy unhealthily or not the exercise are about putting on extra pounds, but leads to serious diseases. an added don't think that a lwa ys diseases. an added don't think that always registers. those who have lived with the consequences of diabetes in an older age, a lot of people have comic for example, limbs amputated, because of problems in circulation that can come from diabetes, and it is notjust as you said the extra weight, but the effects on eyes and eyesight and all kinds of things. even kinds of dimension which should be linked to diabetes. and with type one, i have family members with type one, and thatis family members with type one, and that is irreversible, and nothing to do with your lifestyle. and then you talk about management. but when these are reversible early on, through things that can stop virtual blindness and so on... here we have a picture of a job with stormy
11:38 pm
daniels. inside the daily mail it has a big section, three pages, just one here, with the president in a defiant mood. so far his position seems to be holding. now, yes. he has been characteristically robust with his tweets. but every paper sort of went to this because the news broke yesterday, and this is their first chance to get into it. but the daily mail has focused on the personalities. this is a personality driven story, not just about a president with a huge ego and personality. it is all these different people and backgrounds, coming together in an extraordinary way in giving us the most extra ordinary 24 hours in american politics. they characterise it as a house of cards that could topple because of it is legionnaires. what is interesting is stormy daniels on
11:39 pm
the front, the robert mueller investigation was about russian interference, then it turned into these payments that michael cohen pleaded guilty to yesterday. the interesting thing about this katy is, as jay says, everything is linked. the president's line is that nobody has proved there is any collusion. he says this is just an attempt to discredit him. and a lot of his supporters think this is all pa rt of his supporters think this is all part of the washington establishment trying to do their man, who straight to do his things in his time as president. and i think how long that investigation has gone on, people have said this is a witch—hunt, people are saying that this has moved into things that were not in the scope of the original enquiry. now we have a lot of things that are quite questionable cover the question as to whether this list of
11:40 pm
impeachment and how they live is to donald trump's presidency is how they will connect to each other. and we still don't know that exactly. but it is not looking good team. although we were still about impeachment and we have sissy first elected, i think lots of people who don'tjump elected, i think lots of people who don't jump the gun elected, i think lots of people who don'tjump the gun is, who are fairly sensible, and, as i say this isa fairly sensible, and, as i say this is a new level that is now. it is in more danger than he has been before. hard to see it ending soon. the daily mirror has a vivid illustration of what eating too much can do, with heart attacks forecasted to rise by 30%. i wonder which prevent team poster that photograph, but perhaps we will never know. and gavin williamson didn't pose to this photo, surely, at in the sun. he has a tendency
11:41 pm
whenever it is quiet in british politics, as it is at the moment, to make the headlines. i don't think he is behind this story, necessarily. i think this is hostile briefing. this is an extra ordinary story in which he has suggested that to save money because of the ministry of defence facing, as they all are, funding cuts, to save money on equipment that tractors to be fitted with guns and you could have fairies turned into gunboats. it isjust the most extremely story, and i can't... and this is nothing to do with brexit, nothing to do with a no deal brexit. purely about defence. nothing to do with a no deal brexit. purely about defencelj nothing to do with a no deal brexit. purely about defence. i think this is part of the reason that the paper offered jobs on gavin williamson's stories. he often becomes a niche topic. this is a good old fashion little story that does not involve brexit. and it is simple and easy to
11:42 pm
understand. it is worth pointing out that it says in the piece the gavin williamson denies making the comment, and also people who say that they were at this meeting said they did not know where to look when he said this. so there is two sides to this. there is a serious side to this, apart from the budget cuts that you mentioned. you could argue that you mentioned. you could argue that he is trying to expose the ludicrous situation of a defence policy that claims to do certain things that does not have the money to provide it. so in a sense you could argue that he was making a quiet vision of criticism and saying look, if you do given the money, this is what i am being reduced to doing. this is so absurd. the ministry of defence have been asking for additional money. but during the iraq war, british army stash land rover is poorly protected, and the ministry of defence was lambasted. so this idea to begin a makeshift
11:43 pm
things is ludicrous. bv has said this, and he has denied it from his trying to the point that — you know, this is how bad it is, how bad the shortfall is. i think that is an interesting way to look at it. previous defence secretaries have done similarly, as he is fighting extravaga ntly done similarly, as he is fighting extravagantly now. in a public way, often. the question is is britain going to be a cheer one military power going forward? number ten is very sensitive about that, aren't they? theresa may is very short when responding to questions about britain staying as a military ti. that means you had all the cyber wa rfa re that means you had all the cyber warfare things as well. bring up this topic, and saying unless you
11:44 pm
give more money, this is the sort of solution you allowed. gavin williamson probably thinks he has done well out of a because they have not illustrated him as pike. you silly boy. and he has made us all smile. thank you so much. we move the guardian now. and at the picture of donald trump and are defending a result. that is really where he did so. result. that is really where he did so. jeremy corbyn is suggesting that a tax on facebook and that this could help a deep bbc licence fee. bottom left, pretoria secret weapon is not boris johnson. this is really interesting. this is a poll in the guardian that shows
11:45 pm
that theresa may, borisjohnson and evenjacob rees—mogg, that theresa may, borisjohnson and even jacob rees—mogg, seen that theresa may, borisjohnson and evenjacob rees—mogg, seen as a leading figure, in the case that may goes, wouldn't do better than the prime minister, that's fascinating, and they point out that someone quite young and not in government would be more appealing. in terms of the general voting population, which is the dilemma, because ultimately leaders are chosen by the parties themselves, and have to appeal beyond the parties to have any chance of winning a majority, and a lot of people thought borisjohnson still reached path that other tory leaders couldn't. yes, and take the ball with a pinch of salt, because a month ago different poll, which said borisjohnson was the month ago different poll, which said boris johnson was the only person who would get more votes than theresa may. i am not saying that this is right and that is wrong, but you know... and the advice is to read the trend. exactly. it was close, in terms of the numbers. it
11:46 pm
is hard to predict. 0ne close, in terms of the numbers. it is hard to predict. one thing we know with the polls is that whenever you say who'd make best prime minister, or after this candidate called "don't know" or "other" appears, someone called "don't know" or "other" appears, someone young and fresh, and the longer she is in place, i think most conservative mps think that there will be a leadership election before the next election, but the longer it goes on the more chance you have of young mps coming through rather than the current cabinet. if the vacancy is the prime minister, and the tories are not in opposition, still an if, minister, and the tories are not in opposition, stillan if, it minister, and the tories are not in opposition, still an if, it would be difficult to put someone without experience in, which is why you see someone with age talked up. what's your sense of the conservatives you talk to about how they think that kind of current crop, or is there a yearning that, actually, we need to get the younger faces promoted in government so that when it comes we
11:47 pm
have a much better choice? the younger mps certainly think that more younger mps should be put forward. i don't know how the cabinet think, because they have ambitions of their own and there is an idea of everyone having a turn. there are people who are talked up, like james cleverly, and the chairman of the foreign affairs select committee, and they are seen as promising people, but unless they have ministerial experience, and so far they have seemed defensive with the reshuffle, perhaps they haven't wanted to do that. it does show the population just wants some change, because we had a stalemate at the last election with two leaders who we re last election with two leaders who were not popular at all and they just want fresh faces. tony blair didn't have ministerial office. just want fresh faces. tony blair didn't have ministerial officem is true. they just didn't have ministerial officem is true. theyjust need a new set
11:48 pm
of... it is tricky when the party isn't in opposition, isn't it? yasir. i jacob isn't in opposition, isn't it? yasir. ijacob has written urging them to reject the plan. interesting if we are talking about a possible leadership election. the main story is the bbc staff should reveal their social class. let's look at the express, and that's good news. yes, a special investigation and they have discovered that brexit is going to be great and ultimately they think britain has lots of cards to play and even if britain that leaves without a deal, which they don't thing would be in theirfavour, woodwork, and the investigation seems to list a lot of research that has been touched on before, pointing
11:49 pm
to the fact that if you look at the emerging economies, it is expected to be the strongest in a couple of yea rs a re to be the strongest in a couple of years are not those in the eu, so we have more of a chance of having more prosperous economies, so people will see in this investigation the antidote to what we expect tomorrow with the no deal technical notice. the crisis measures. which will be quite dry and some would say that they are scaremongering. this is to say that it is a good opportunity. it isa say that it is a good opportunity. it is a different take on the brexit argument and, you could say, well, the express would say that, wouldn't they, bringing together this material to make the case, rather than have those headlines. of course you can put that together and make the case. they need to have the rebuttal to the no deal documents tomorrow. some of the figures are
11:50 pm
interesting, like quoting the eu itself, saying that 90% of future global growth will come from outside the block, but everything has to be taken with a pinch of salt because this is obviously the express's agenda but it is an interesting figure to get. there is some frustration among mps that they feel theresa may's position has been to see it as a damage limitation exercise. the least damaging, rather than the best possible. and it is a balance between reducing turbulence and increasing sovereignty and all of these things, but i think it is trying to show the idea of the opportunities. and digging at the government hinting that the uk is braced for collapse in the talks. let's end with some happy news, regardless of if we are in or out, george clooney, the best paid actor in hollywood, should he be?” george clooney, the best paid actor in hollywood, should he be? i don't know. is he the best actor? i don't thing he does. i have never really
11:51 pm
seen the thing with george clooney, actually, and i couldn't name the last film that he was in. i haven't seen a grown—up film in years because every time i go to the cinema it is a disney film, which probably explains a lot, and i am quite surprised because he is not seen for me as the... yes, i don't think you have a balanced... he is not your idea of a hollywood heartthrob. he is good at what he does. i liked when he voiced the fox in the wes anderson film. does. i liked when he voiced the fox in the wes anderson filmlj does. i liked when he voiced the fox in the wes anderson film. i do think thatis in the wes anderson film. i do think that is why he gets paid the big bucs. and he directs. and we are very glad he is living here and he is welcome to be here and spend his money here. if you could choose who was paid the most, who would it be? i don't know, i can't... it doesn't have to be a bloke, it could be a woman. that has put me on the spot.
11:52 pm
there are lots of excellent british actors, red mane, cumberbatch. there are lots of excellent british actors, red mane, cumberbatchlj there are lots of excellent british actors, red mane, cumberbatch. i am surprised it isn't bond. daniel craig is quite divisive —— redmayne. idris elba is rumoured to be the next james bond, so idris elba is rumoured to be the nextjames bond, so maybe he will inherit the title eventually. thank you both, it was a pleasure to have you both, it was a pleasure to have you with us and that is it. that's it for the papers tonight. coming up next is the latest news from the bbc sport centre. from all of us, goodbye. good evening. at the para—european athletics championships in berlin, kare adenegan has beaten her team—mate hannah cockroft for the first time in a major championships to claim gold in the t34100m. it was a british i —2 for the pair, and the second time adenegan has beaten her hero, after she'd blitzed the five—time paralympic champion's
11:53 pm
world record at the anniversary games last month. she finished in i7.38s to set a new championship record. it is really important. the anniversary games was great. it is about the performances at the championships. it is about the medals. it is important for athletics and myself to know that. i am on top and i have evidence of that. it is really important. there was a gold, too, for shot putter vanessa wallace in f34 event. it's her first international title. aston villa are still unbeaten in the championship, but onlyjust after securing a two all draw against brentford with just 16 seconds to spare. neal maupay put the bees ahead in each half at villa park. butjonathan kodjia was just as prolific and rescued a point for steve bruce's side at the end of five minutes of added time. brentford move up to fourth place
11:54 pm
and villa up to fifth in the table. elsewhere, stoke city's winless run in the championship continued as they were well beaten 3—0 by newly promoted wigan athletic. there were also wins for norwich, sheffield wednesday and bolton, while blackburn and reading ended in a draw. thierry henry has agreed to become the new manager of bordeaux, according to reports in france. he's been a member of the belgian coaching team under roberto martinez for the past two years. they finished third in this year's world cup. if confirmed, he'll take over from the former premier league manager, gus poyet, who was suspended by the club last week for publically criticising the sale of a player. kyle lafferty has returned to former club rangers after hearts accepted an improved offerfor the player. the northern ireland international was previously at ibrox between 2008 and 2012. lafferty could make his debut in tomorrow's europa league qualifier against ufa,
11:55 pm
with clubs permitted to register two wildcard signings the day before a uefa competition fixture. it was deemed a success at the world cup, and very soon we could see var, or video assisted referee, used in the champions league. uefa has been looking into introducing it, using trials to find out if it can overcome some logistical problems. it's been reported it could be implemented during the quarter finals stages, with it set to be recommended next week and a final decision to be made next month. england captainjoe root has admitted his side underperformed in the third test against india but insists they can bounce back ahead of the next test in southampton. india completed a 203 run victory at trent bridge, halving the hosts lead to 2—1 in the best of five series. but root insists they're still in the driving seat. it's obviously not good
11:56 pm
enough in this format, and for the group of players that we have got, it's well below par and what we are capable of doing, even if it is bowler—friendly conditions. revert back to a few things that have worked extremely well for us in the past, and we now have to carry that forward and do it for long periods of time. we're definitely in the driving seat, as far as the series goes. you know, we have to keep remembering that we have a little bit of time to go away and reflect on what has been a difficult week. but, in england, we are a very good side at bouncing back from a tough couple of days. and one thing you can never question about this group of players is the character and the way they can respond to a difficult period or passage of play. that's all the sport for now.
11:57 pm
you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website — bbc. co. uk/sport. enjoy the rest of your evening. good evening. if you have been moaning about it being too muggy over recent days, well, i'm afraid things are set to change, but this is what we saw today with highs of 27 when we got some sunshine in lincolnshire, but we won't see temperatures like that, certainly over the weekend, and for england and wales it is a bank holiday weekend. the reason is the weather fronts pushing in from the north—west, introducing something fresher, particularly the second front, it will drive in westerly wind, and it will bring cool air right across the country. so, to start off, we could see some outbreaks of rain first thing and that will continue to push across east anglia and the south—east of
11:58 pm
england, behind it some showers to come, and there will be some breaks and sunny skies, but a fresh feel, particularly further north and west, temperatures perhaps down into the midteens, but further south it is not as cold just yet. it looks as though the fresh air continues to push south, and some good news is that if it has been too sultry to get a good nights sleep, plenty of showers in the north—west, but overnight into friday morning it will be more comfortable for sleeping, 7— 12 degrees, but it will bea sleeping, 7— 12 degrees, but it will be a chilly start on friday with showers from the word go into the north and west, becoming quite heavy and frequent across the country. just look at the feel of things on friday afternoon. 14— 19 degrees. maybe southern england dry for much of the day. on saturday there will bea of the day. on saturday there will be a lot of dry weather in the story. it is not a complete
11:59 pm
write—off in england and wales which isa bank write—off in england and wales which is a bank holiday weekend. but it will be a fresh feel generally, 14— 20 the high. quite chilly on sunday morning with a ridge of high pressure before the weather fronts pushing from the west and that will bring another change. so it looks as though we will see some wet weather from the west on sunday, u nfortu nately. from the west on sunday, unfortunately. still the temperatures struggling. it will be dry for all on monday. but the highest temperatures around 18— 23 degrees, so we've lost the humid feel, but unfortunately it will be a bit chilly and a shock to the system. that's it. good night. i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines: "the president did nothing wrong". defiant words from the white house, despite claims donald trump ordered his former lawyer to make hush payments. thereunder charges against him. just
