11:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news with me, julian worricker. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines: downing street has retaliated against borisjohnson, saying he has no new ideas for brexit, after he criticised theresa may's plan. the former foreign secretary said the approach agreed at chequers means disaster for britain. the met office says england's summer heatwave this year was the hottest ever, and 2018 was the joint hottest summer on record for the uk as a whole. home secretary sajid javid has warned he will take action against technology companies if they don't help to tackle child sexual abuse online, highlighting the live—streaming of child abuse as a growing problem. a labour party official who suggested jewish trump fanatics were behind accusations of anti—semitism in labour ranks has been re—elected to the party's ruling body. chris evans announces that, after 13 years at radio 2, he's leaving his breakfast show to present at virgin radio. evans, who is currently the second—highest—paid star at the bbc, has promised to stay
11:31 pm
on air until christmas. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are dawn foster, columnist at the guardian, and steven swinford, deputy political editor at the telegraph. welcome back to both of you. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. tory divisions over the brexit negotiations is the lead for the i. the paper claims both pro—remain and pro—leave conservative mps are urging the prime minister to abandon her chequers proposals. the express leads on the latest war of words between borisjohnson and theresa may over brexit, but the paper also ponders who might replace chris evans on the bbc radio 2 breakfast show. the mirror leads on chris evans‘ decision to leave the bbc,
11:32 pm
but focuses in on the possible financial reasons for him doing so. labour's ongoing issues with anti—semitism is the top story for the telegraph, as the paper reports on the re—election of activist peter willsman to the party's leading body. the paper also reflects alistair cook's decision to retire from international cricket. the times claims the home secretary is planning a significant extension of police stop and search powers. the paper claims sajid javid wants officers to stop anyone suspected of carrying acid without good reason. the mail carries an interview with the mother of murdered southampton schoolgirl lucy mchugh. stacey white claims facebook is holding up the investigation into her daughter's death. the metro leads on a tweet from the bbc radio five live presenter, rachael bland, in which she says she has just days to live, after a long battle with breast cancer. and the financial times carries
11:33 pm
a striking image of brazil's historic national museum consumed by fire. it's thought the blaze has destroyed dozens of priceless artefacts. let's have a look first at the express, stephen, kicked off this hour, theresa may versus boris johnson. hour, theresa may versus boris johnson. so, the stage is set, the tory conference approaching, boris johnson versus theresa may, and mps come back from the long summer holiday tomorrow, and theresa may hoped it would calm everything down and give them a chance to reflect and give them a chance to reflect and we would come back and get checkers through the door and get on with brexit, instead she is walking back into a knife fight. boris johnson taking on theresa may and it will be quite an extraordinary run into conference —— chequers. will be quite an extraordinary run into conference -- chequers. how do you see it? the same way, boris
11:34 pm
johnson unleash now, i don't think many thought he was particularly... people thought he was very forthright and being in cabinet didn't stop that, now that he is out with the telegraph column he can do what he likes and now it is at this point a bid for the leadership. he has that are few stumbling blocks and now he is hitting his stride in going for theresa may and making himself a nuisance in her eyes and as we lead up to the tory party co nfe re nce as we lead up to the tory party conference are a lot of people will come from the theatre curtains and have a lot of surprises in store for may. and as he upped the ante will number ten respond in kind?‘ ferocious response this morning, where the official spokesman talks about the stories of the day, and this morning there was an intake of breath as the spokesman said he had read boris's colin and that there we re read boris's colin and that there were no new ideas in it at all, and that theresa may was the only one
11:35 pm
with a serious leadership and a serious plan —— column. the inference is he is not serious and you should not take him seriously. the attack lines are drawn for this and they are coming. the question number ten keeps asking is, boris, what is your plan, if it is an chequers, what will you do? that is important because when he comes out with a plan they can go on the offensive. at the moment boris can be on the attack all the time and they are on the defensive. they want to go on the offensive. they can't yet. it is coming. if boris johnson ta kes yet. it is coming. if boris johnson takes it to a certain point, he almost has to go for it.” takes it to a certain point, he almost has to go for it. i think so completely, he has been behaving the la st completely, he has been behaving the last few years, especially the last few weeks, as if he really could be leadership material. he has tried to push forward his own vision for both brexit and policy, and he has gone too deep. he is a very proud man. if
11:36 pm
at this point he pulled out and said he didn't want to be leader everyone would assume he has bottled it. the issue is with him and jacob rees—mogg, they have to come out with a plan and at the moment they realise that if they don't, you know, number ten cut attack them. strategically it works for them. eventually they have to say what it is they want to do in opposition to theresa may's chequers plan which is less appealing than the poll tax. justine greening said that today and she's coming from the other side of the argument. she wrote for the telegraph as well and she says theresa may is like king knutt, so we have this extraordinary scenario where remainers now agree with brexiteers that checkers is a dud, a dead duck, and we have the polls which show it is going down in marginal constituencies —— king cnut. more than half of voters are opposed to chequers and they think
11:37 pm
it is doubtful britain. she is getting attacked on all sides, from the eu, brexiteers and remainers and she hopes there is enough moderate mps to back are to continue —— back to continue to push plan. as you both mention the conservative party will be very interesting. can't wait. as will the labour party. activists voted on to labour ruling body. peter wilson was part of the momentum slate for the national executive committee. they withdrew support for him after his comments in one of the nec meetings, and he had the lowest number of votes on the original slate partly because people vote very early, and that will cause renewed focus on labour, whether or not they are dealing with the anti—semitic problem. apparently he referred himself for training on
11:38 pm
anti—semitism and has an yet had it, so anti—semitism and has an yet had it, so there will be focus on that, and we are leading up to the next nec meeting, you know, where labour will almost certainly at this point adopt the international holocaust remembrance association definition on anti—semitism and all of the examples. i think labour at this point are trying desperately to bring the anti—semitism scandal to a close. it looks like it will disrupt and run on at this point with the factions being too deep and people are too embedded in this position. and the nec meeting he referred to is tomorrow at it is not with these new nine, this is the outgoing nec. they are being reappointed. the same figures. it is going to be explosive. you could see labour mps quitting over this. the atmosphere among labour mps is unmitigated fury. they feel alienated by the leadership. even mps who support jeremy corbyn and believe he should be prime minister. they feel utterly
11:39 pm
alienated. peter wilson, be prime minister. they feel utterly alienated. peterwilson, case in point, said jewish trump fanatics we re point, said jewish trump fanatics were making up allegations of anti—semitism. he was referred for diversity training, it is called, but he disclosed he hasn't had that training because he had a list of long questions for the diversity trainer that he hasn't had answers to. labour has a problem and he doesn't know how to deal with it. notably, jeremy corbyn hasn't commented on peter willsman's pre—election, even though it is a very controversial matter. we have speculated on how the conservative party conference might look with brexit. how might the labour party conference look with this? brexit. how might the labour party conference look with this7m brexit. how might the labour party conference look with this? it will be completely fraud. it was our people asked year after the general election. this year will be a lot more downbeat. a lot of people desperately want to see this drawn toa desperately want to see this drawn to a close and to get ready to prepare for government so to speak as the pro— jeremy corbyn people
11:40 pm
have it, but a lot of people have been looking at either leaving the party entirely, talks of a new centrist party, or just party entirely, talks of a new centrist party, orjust as other people have talked about withdrawing from the whip, becoming independent, there will be a lot of arguments, a lot of fights and a lot of unhappy people tried to put their point across and we will see what happens on the conference floor. arguments over brexit as well. furious arguments over brexit and the other thing on the agenda is reselection, and there is talk of a purge moderates and there be serious discussion about automatic reselection of labour mps which is very controversial. let me stay with you on the next one, stephen, the times, mps vote on making misogyny a hate crime in a legal first. it would certainly be a legal first and it would be an aggravating factor in exa m ples of
11:41 pm
it would be an aggravating factor in examples of up—skirting and police forces are looking at this as an area, although it is not in law yet, the question is, will it happen? it's a really interesting idea but there are two factors in play, ministers are clear they don't think it will happen, and that is because they are concerned it will jeopardise efforts to make it illegal, and two, an incredible quote from harold kennedy, sorry, mark stephens from harold kennedy, he said what about equality, should hatred of men be also considered a crime? if it is hatred of women as a crime, what about hatred of men? and senator creesey leads strongly on this, doesn't she? yes, and has been a lot of work to make upskirting a crime, a lot of people in the police and justice have said there are concerns over whether or not it is necessary, whether this could be done within existing legal frameworks, but obviously stella creesey's argument is at the moment
11:42 pm
with hate crime we look at race, religion and disability as aggravating factors —— stella creasy. when it comes to employment, if women are discriminated against, we look at that in law. so in some ways is making sure that gender along with race, religion and disability, and also the rise in the workplace work outside in the streets. it is one of the slightly complicated areas, isn't it, where there is a fear according to the times, ministers fear that the amendment, the stella creasy proposal, could delay the criminalising of upskirting, which it doesn't want, presumably, though it doesn't want, presumably, though it isa it doesn't want, presumably, though it is a complicated scenario. yes, exactly, it could have the opposite effect. there is widespread agreement upskirting should be illegal and do we want to delay or inhibit that? chris evans won't be working at the bbc any more. he is not. he is off to virgin and the miramax said maybe he is going
11:43 pm
because he might like virgin a bit more “— because he might like virgin a bit more —— the mirror have said. and maybe being paid £2 million, rather than 400,000, might be the reason why he went forward. the bbc last year talked about how much entertainers pay in tax. there is speculation that he jumped because of this. very difficult to say exactly how much you have to do to be worth 2 million, but virgin clearly think he is and it will be interesting to see who follows him. according to the mirror and pal insisted, i love the word pal in that, "money wasn't a factor".m certainly was a factor not least because the bbc publishes the pay of celebrities and stars and one of the ancillary fx... celebrities and stars and one of the ancillary fx. .. those earning over a. so, the highest-paid. -- ancillary fx. .. those earning over a. so, the highest—paid. —— effects. and what was revealed was the
11:44 pm
disparity in pay between men and women. he will probably be succeeded by sara cox. the other is for commercial broadcasters they will see, he is only being paid 1.6 million, we can pay him £2 million. there was talk of a poachers' charter and maybe that's what this is, who knows? the guardian that, unhealthy is, who knows? the guardian that, u nhealthy lifestyles is, who knows? the guardian that, unhealthy lifestyles put four in 5 adults at risk of early death. yes, adults at risk of early death. yes, a simple app that the nhs and public health in when put together, we did it, and my heart is in fact, i am 37, my heart is 38 years old, you put in simple things that your lifestyle and it gives you an indication of where your heart is. how are you doing? i am 30 and my heart is 30, even though you smoke, you put in a couple of things that your lifestyle and it tells you
11:45 pm
about whether or not you need to be more healthy. it is very crude. it might not be accurate. it doesn't talk about exercise or diet or stress and it is really smart in that it only takes a couple of minutes. we both did it on our phones. we started talking about heart health. it makes you think about the long—term rather than the short—term. about the long—term rather than the short-term. if you can do it in private and it takes a few minutes, you will be honest. we talked about how a friend became vegetarian and started running relentlessly, and he looked at picture of health. i thought to myself, do we need to be making changes here? that was in a small chat we were having, it makes people think, what can i do, how can i change my lifestyle, and i would become vegetarian, but i will think about my exercise. you say nudge, there is something from helen stokes lampard from there is something from helen stokes lampa rd from the there is something from helen stokes lampard from the royal college of gps that we hope it is a wake—up call to beware of health and help us
11:46 pm
live healthier lives, i suppose people need to be led gently. we don't need... nanny state doesn't tend to work, if you let to people and tell them you must do this, they tend to think, i won't do that, whereas if people come to that conclusion themselves with small nudges like this, which they do themselves on a app, that can make changes to our stars. the other question it raises, why we are so the other question it raises, why we are so unhealthy as it stands?‘ the other question it raises, why we are so unhealthy as it stands? a lot of people, myself included, often think of our immediate health and what we can do to change that. pre— party conferences i'm going to cut down on wine... i like the way you say before rather than during. party conferences are terrible for your health. you always think of the short term, the next year or so, losing weight for holiday. but the fa ct losing weight for holiday. but the fact you do it on your own in private, you don't have to speak to a doctor and worried about being judged by anybody apart from an app,
11:47 pm
it makes you think long—term about ifi it makes you think long—term about if i put it in and found out my heart was 35, you realise five years of your life is at stake and it is quite jarring. you can move quickly to change that. i'm glad you've both done that and you're both feeling well! let's go to our final one... actually this takes us to medical... it's got a medical slant to it but ina it's got a medical slant to it but in a different way, back to the times. dawn, this is what we are told when doctors contact us. this is a fascinating story. lots of jokes about doctors' handwriting on prescriptions, but this is about what happens when they send you written letters. you go to hospital, your doctor sends a letter to the gp telling you what they've found an too often there is latin and acronyms and all sorts of really long and impenetrable jargon. so they're now encouraged by the
11:48 pm
academy of medical royal colleges to use plain english. talk about daily medicine, talk about kidneys instead of renal so people can fully understand. each time i get letters from my consultants i spend a couple of minutes on google desperately trying to find out what's wrong! it's all about making health a bit more personal, helping people understand what's going on with their bodies. what do you make of it? i love this story. we spend our careers and lives writing things in plain english so people can understand, and it infuriates me when people use latin. i had the misfortune of studying latin at school. me too. it was a painful experience and when people do it they make their language more impenetrable so you can't read it and understand it. it is lazy doctors, they're so smart, they are capable if they stopped and thought of writing in plain english. this is by the million letters containing important information about people's
11:49 pm
health, we should be able to read it and understand it. this is wider than doctors. i want to ban anybody in public office using latin and acronyms and anything like that. all those people who want us to keep latin alive would be horrified by that prospect, but i see where you're coming from. last night campaigners welcomed the change but questioned why the nhs relied on paper questioned why the nhs relied on pa per letters questioned why the nhs relied on paper letters in a digital age. completely. the number of times i've spoken to my gp and they say they haven't got the letter. bay could e—mail it. i get texts saying when i gotan e—mail it. i get texts saying when i got an appointment —— they could. there's no reason you couldn't e—mail it if you get the systems in place. one of the doctors here who helped draft this advice says he was one of the first doctors ten years ago to write directly to patients. instead of writing to the gp and asking the gp2 relate the information, having a one—on—one conversation with patients —— gp2. it is so much quicker and will save
11:50 pm
money. that's it for the papers tonight. 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. thank you to dawn foster and steven swinford. coming up next it's sport. goodbye. good evening. alastair cook has announced his retirement from international cricket after what's been a record—breaking career. the former england captain will play his final test at the oval against india, which starts on friday. he's now 33 and his statistics hold up against any batsman. he's scored 12,254 runs and made 32 centuries in 160 tests, those are all england records. as you would expect, many cricketers past and present have been lining up to have their say on cook. former england captain graham gooch says cook must be seen as one of the greatest of all time. you could say there is more
11:51 pm
exciting players to watch, more entertainers to watch, but he would have to be ranked in the top two or three. most of the players apart from him andjimmy anderson have been brought up in the t20 era. they've been schooled in that type of player as well as the traditional play. i think he is a dying breed, sadly, the test player that can occupy the crease, graft for his runs and someone you know that when they go in and they are going to give everything and someone will have to prise them out. in the five—day game that is a priceless commodity, because it's a long game. i'm not going to sit on the fence, i'd like to think there's someone else but i don't see anyone else on the horizon. liverpool forward mo salah is on a three—person shortlist for the fifa men's player of the year award, but one of the regular names in the past hasn't made it.
11:52 pm
salah helped liverpool reach the champions league final in may and scored 44 goals in all competitions. cristiano ronaldo and luka modric are the other two nominees for the award. so barcelona and argentina forward lionel messi, a five—time ballon d'or winner, missed out on a place in the top three. andrew robertson has been named as the new scotland captain. the liverpool full—back takes over from scott brown who retired from international football earlier this year. his first games as captain will be a friendly against belgium on friday, and then the uefa nations league tie against albania a week today. and a third liverpool player is also in the news today. jordan henderson, the club's captain, has signed a new five—year contract. raheem sterling has withdrawn from the england squad for the upcoming matches against spain and switzerland. he has a back problem
11:53 pm
and was the only absentee when they reported today to saint georges park. gareth southgate will not call up park. gareth southgate will not call upa park. gareth southgate will not call up a replacement. leicester tigers have sacked their head coach afterjust one match of the new season. matt o'connor has left the club following a 40—6 defeat at exeter at the weekend. the former australia international was in his second spell at the club, having been appointed in april, 2017. leicester missed out on a place in the premiership play—offs for the first time in 14 seasons in may. assistant coach geordan murphy has been put in temporary charge you probably don't know much, if anything, about him. he's only 18 years old, but british teenager lando norris is set to become a star of formula one. he will drive for mclaren next season. he's been the team's reserve driver and took part in first practice sessions in spain and hungary this season. next season he'll race alongside carlos sainz, who's replacing the retiring fernando alonso. he's already done two practice sessions very recently, in belgium
11:54 pm
and then italy, and he really impressed. i spoke to zach brown, the ceo of mclaren, and he said he just got in the car, did his business, did what the team asked him and looked really good but to secure a him and looked really good but to secure a seat already with just seven secure a seat already with just seve n ra ces secure a seat already with just seven races to go in the season is really impressive. he's got all the talent he needs, isjust really impressive. he's got all the talent he needs, is just whether mclaren can give him the car he needs to really impress. good luck to him for next season. novak djokovic will play federer. he beat portugal's jaoa sousa. earlier the 2014 finalist kei nishikori was a straight sets winner against germany's philipp kohlschreiber. and in the women's draw, last year's beaten finalist madison keys is through to the quarter—finals after beating slovakia's domininka cibulkova in straight sets. that's all the sport for now. hello there. good evening. mixed

fortu nes hello there. good evening. mixed fortunes weather—wise today across the uk. for eastern parts, we had humid weather and warm sunshine. further west, this band of thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain. this weather front is going to stay with us over weather front is going to stay with us over the next 24 hours, very slow—moving feature. indeed, overnight tonight, the cloud will probably expand a bit and at the same time taken up, spots of drizzle on and off through the night in parts of the midlands, east wales and north—west england. a humid night in england and wales, temperatures staying well up into double figures but further north, we've got the cooler air for scotla nd we've got the cooler air for scotland and northern ireland as well. temperatures down into single figures and a chilly start on tuesday. indeed, cold enough for a few pockets of frost in the coldest areas of the highlands in scotland. plenty of sunshine here, should be a bright enough start for northern ireland. however, for most of
