11:30 pm
the cloud south—east, wishes to the cloud bricking up, potentially a brighter day then what was saw on tuesday. as temperatures range from 17— 20 degrees. later in the day, something wet pushes into the north—east corner of the uk. this area of high pressure shoots further westwards, pressure shoots further westwards, pressure develops in the north sea, starting to see a run of northerly wind. that will be the trend, feeling a lot more cool and breezy with those northerly winds and outbreaks of rain, which will be quite heavy. it all starts on thursday, becomes more unsettled and breezy across scotland, northern ireland into the north of england. some showers and longer spells of rain. dry across the south where we could make 20 degrees, cooler across the north. this area of low pressure deepens at little bit as we head on into friday. it is looking pretty u nsettled into friday. it is looking pretty unsettled across the northern half of the country, still some uncertainty to friday's forecast topic we think it will be quite windy and wet across scotland, maybe north—east england, strong wind too.
11:31 pm
some sunshine around, the best across the south and the west, we could make a 70— 90 degrees otherwise the low to mid teens celsius further north. into the weekend, looking unsettled saturday, on the too, but towards sunday it looks like it will turn a little warmer, with more sunshine and like a wind. —— lighter. hello, this is bbc news. we will be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines: labour agrees a new code on antisemitism, in a bid to end the controversy that has engulfed the party. police ask social media companies for instant access to accounts after a man suspected of murdering 13—year—old lucy mchugh refused to reveal his facebook password. one of the strongest typhoons to hit japan in 25 years has claimed several lives and injured over 160.
11:32 pm
a new book from one of the journalists behind the watergate scandal paints a devastating account of chaos in the trump white house. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the talkradio presenter daisy mcanderw, and kevin schofield, editor of politicshome. most of tomorrow's front pages are now in. the times sasteremy corbyn has been humiliated by his own allies, as the labour party's ruling body rejected his attempt to add a caveat to the party's definition of antisemitism. the same story makes it into the daily express, which says that labour has hit a new low after being accused of covering up alleged antisemitic hate crimes.
11:33 pm
the archbishop of canterbury is calling for wealthy families to pay more tax to help the poor. that is in the daily mail. the ft reports that mark carney is expected to stay on as governor of the bank of england until 2020, to help ease the brexit transition. the metro reports that children with leukaemia are to receive a life—saving drug on the nhs, after it was fast—tracked for approval. the same story is on the front page of the daily mirror, which hails a new hope in the fight against cancer. the guardian leads with a new food poverty study, which reveals almost four million children in the uk live in households that can't afford healthy diets. and the sun reports that eastenders star dame barbara windsor needed a heart operation after collapsing at home. so a varied set of front pages. let's see what our reviewers make of it all. we will start stateside, because at
11:34 pm
the top of the times, some extraordinary comments from president trump. this one they quoted, kill the lot of them, referring to leaders of the syrian regime, all coming out of a new book. yes, the papers are spoilt for choice, actually. they all have the front angles on this story, there are front angles on this story, there a re lots of front angles on this story, there are lots ofjuicy quotes for them to get their teeth into. it is written by bob woodward, known for cracking the watergate scandal. if you remember when the syrian regime, assad dropped chemical weapons on his own people, donald trump's initial reaction apparently was to kill the (bleep) lot of them. and he
11:35 pm
told secretaryjim mattis he wanted told secretaryjim mattis he wanted to assassinate president assad. jim mattis said they would get right on it, and then said no, we're not going to do that. they are not going to just kill everyone. and although pa rt to just kill everyone. and although part of me does think that all of this stuff, as entertaining as it is to read, it is almost priced in. people expect it to be unconventional, controversial and chaotic. all it does is confirm those suspicions that it was chaos. it is interesting because the book by bob woodward is entitled fear, trump in the white house. it is so silly that it is funny, and some of this stuff seems pretty serious, actually. it does, and it is almost like water off a duck‘s back. he has
11:36 pm
had so many what one would assume very damaging quotes and things that have been attributed to him, where people have put the boot in, and none of it has had any impact at all on his home support. as you said, some of these allegations are really damaging. in another one,jim some of these allegations are really damaging. in another one, jim mattis was particularly exasperated, bob woodward wrote, telling associates that he had the attention span of a fifth grader. i was reading this week that democrats supporters get their news and information from, and where trump supporters get their news from. and 90% of trump supporters get their news from his twitter feed. he will tweet that it is rubbish and they will think that people like bob woodward made it all
11:37 pm
up. part of the liberal elite. it is in the sun, and we delve into page two, it has been dubbed crazy town, he was described byjohn kelly as an idiot, some pretty incendiary stories, but perhaps daisy is right to say we have heard it all. and the white house press secretary, sarah sanders, has basically completely written it off and said it is all fabricated and the smear. and as daisy said, i think his supporters will say... does it make a difference that this book is bob woodward, are better respected journalist? again, to people within the newspaper industry and the media, obviously bob woodward is a legend, and he has such a great reputation. so i don't doubt the veracity of what is in this book. i
11:38 pm
am sure it is all accurate, and very well sourced. but we don't have a conventional president in the oval 0ffice right now. a conventional president would be mortally wounded by even a tiny percentage of some of what has happened since he became president, but he is not conventional and the numbers just don't apply. i think this is the seventh president that bob woodward has done a book on, he has done expose is all of them, but i don't suppose that will make much difference. another politician who is underfire, difference. another politician who is under fire, one difference. another politician who is underfire, one might say. the labour party adopting a full definition of anti—semitism, developments today at the nec, the body overseeing the labour party, but not an easy day forjeremy corbyn. not an easy day, we knew it wouldn't be an easy day. and we were watching the broadcast pictures of
11:39 pm
it earlier and even before the meeting started it was getting extremely heated as both sides, the sort of pro— corbynistas, labour supporters shouting at each other, corbyn sneaking in through the back, so corbyn sneaking in through the back, so it was all pretty ill managed before they had even started. 0n so it was all pretty ill managed before they had even started. on one front, they did get this new definition through on to their rulebook, so that was a good thing. but the really controversial bit was thatjeremy corbyn but the really controversial bit was that jeremy corbyn wanted but the really controversial bit was thatjeremy corbyn wanted to add in this addendum you mentioned at the beginning, which was really inflammatory, basically saying that you could say that zionist and the nation of israel was racist, that you could use the term racist to describe them. now, that was com pletely describe them. now, that was completely pooh—poohed. describe them. now, that was completely pooh— poohed.m describe them. now, that was completely pooh-poohed. it wouldn't be anti—semitic. completely pooh-poohed. it wouldn't be anti-semitic. it wouldn't be anti—semitic, exactly, to do so. that was struck out and he was not allowed to have that. on the one hand people will say that as a
11:40 pm
victory for the labour party, but on the other hand it certainly looks like a bit of a slap in the face to jeremy corbyn. and this isn't the end of it by a long shot. we have been briefed a lot on the corbynista wing of the party that there will be a further consultation on this, believe it or not. this isn't the end of the matter. there is a new nec coming in after the party conference, so nec coming in after the party conference, so some nec coming in after the party conference, so some people sitting on the nec, who are more moderate, will not be on it any more. and they think that will give jeremy corbyn even more of a majority on the nec to properly implement and anti—semitism code of conduct that is more in keeping with his worldview. in to happen, the whole thing would kick off over again. you can't help but think is this conspiracy or clock up, the way they are going about this. and the more you look at it, the more it looks like a conspiracy to push dues out
11:41 pm
of the labour party —— cock—up. it is hard to see it any other way when they are continuing to be so inflammatory and not seeming to appease. is one of our guests were saying, we mustn't talk about the jewish community in the labour party is one body, because some agree with this, some disagree, and are trying to say actually there is nuanced on all sides of this. a would say that, wouldn't they? the largest jewish groups in the uk certainly are at odds withjeremy groups in the uk certainly are at odds with jeremy corbyn, to put groups in the uk certainly are at odds withjeremy corbyn, to put it mildly. jewish voice for labour, which is much smaller, hasn't been going very long and they are fiercely pro— corbyn. they were behind the protests outside labour hq this morning. so you are right, it is not a homogenous group who all think the same, but most certainly the mainstream jewish leaders are very, very concerned about it. and then there is this
11:42 pm
other kerfuffle when peter wilson arrived, who is a nec member standing for re—election, a lot of controversy about comments he had made aboutjews being fanatically trump supporters, and tom watson saying he found him disgusting, and that he was simply a loudmouth bully. these are two man sitting on the same committee, running the labour party. and this comes to the heart of the issue, that it has revealed these divisions in the party which will now be hard to heal up, i party which will now be hard to heal ose. party which will now be hard to heal up, i suppose. yes, and in a couple of weeks' time, we are going to troop off to liverpool for the labour party conference. champing at the bit. i have been to quite a few of them, starting to get a little bit tired of them. but notjust labour, i have to say, the conservatives, as well. so that is going to be a bunfight. you know, there is a lot of the momentum in there is a lot of the momentum in the labour party to bring in wholesale rule changes, and that is
11:43 pm
going to be another massive controversy. so yes, they have drawn a line under the anti—semitism stuff up a line under the anti—semitism stuff up to a line under the anti—semitism stuff uptoa a line under the anti—semitism stuff up to a point today. that hasn't gone away and there is a whole host of other controversies to give us all busy. keep you out of mischief. you are really looking forward to your autumn. moving to the daily mail, a big story splashed across their front mail, a big story splashed across theirfront page to mail, a big story splashed across their front page to do with the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby, who has had something to say on the way we should be taxing the rich. it is interesting, this is not the first time he has got involved in politics or has put his name... this is an ippr reports, and he has been involved in the institute for public policy research and they are a left—leaning think—tank, i think thatis a left—leaning think—tank, i think that is fair to say, butjustin welby has been involved with them before. in fact this time last year he wrote a big article saying a very similarthing, he wrote a big article saying a very similar thing, saying that economic models were broken and had to be was caught. and it is funny, i am
11:44 pm
slightly in two minds aboutjustin welby. i really admire him and i think he talks a lot of sense, and he has great humanity, and then i get uneasy about the archbishop of canterbury being so political. and then i question myself and say, actually, why shouldn't he? it is politics, and sort of humanity and morals tied up. so i slightly tire myself in tangles when i think about it. exactly, and thejournalist myself in tangles when i think about it. exactly, and the journalist side of me says get off my patch, that is not your patch. and then i think it is fair enough that he should get involved. what did you make of it?|j what did you make of it? i can see how the mail would be unhappy with this. tax changes. i think a lot of it will be very popular. he wants to hammer amazon, starbucks. that is the mail, can you believe what this
11:45 pm
communist is trying to do? they don't pay enough tax. why shouldn't they pay their fair share?” don't pay enough tax. why shouldn't they pay their fair share? i think thatis they pay their fair share? i think that is what he is saying. that's the point. he's not trying to hammer anybody. he would argue that. he wa nts anybody. he would argue that. he wants more fairness and less tax avoidance or evasion, however you wa nt to avoidance or evasion, however you want to look at it. i completely understand why the mail have written it up the way they have. i probably wouldn't have. the financial times. tucked away down the bottom, not their main story, this is about colin kaepernick, who has got in to a bit ofa colin kaepernick, who has got in to a bit of a storm, the face of nike's new campaign. this was the nfl player who took any before the national anthem, played before a
11:46 pm
game. usually the players stand with their hand overtheir game. usually the players stand with their hand over their part, he took a knee to silently protest racism in the united states. caused huge controversy at the time, lots of players did likewise, others refused to do so. players did likewise, others refused to do 50. donald trump got involved and said it was a disgrace. nike have gotten involved and said they will lead their latest advertising campaign and that will divide opinion. america and this latest social media crazed of people defacing their nike clothing. that has involved cutting off the nike socks on socks, to a fellow who set fire to his trainers while he was wearing them. you could see his feet are literally aflame the. then he has to go to hospital, obviously,
11:47 pm
because he has burnt his feet. and he takes a picture of his feet. take that nike! laughter. it is all blistered and agonisingly painful, he is obviously very pleased with himself. it is getting nike lot of coverage. a lot of coverage. they went into this with their eyes open, they are not trained to be donald trump's friend. i do remember when the players took a knee, he called the players took a knee, he called the players took a knee, he called the players are grateful, which i found so offensive. —— ungrateful. nike are setting themselves up against donald trump and peace protest we're. certainly there demographic will be naturally on their side, rather than on other side, i don't think they will do each other any harm. they have taken social media by storm, millions of hits on this story, i am certain
11:48 pm
that their viewership going down, that their viewership going down, that will be wobbles waiting to see. —— debt stock. i think it will pay off for nike. some people are now starting to counter protests on social media, taking pictures of them wearing it, they are very shrewd, nike. they are the winners of. for all of this story, it was colin kaepernick who was a loser, he hadn't played. he said there was some kind of conspiracy that the teams had gotten together and agreed that they wouldn't give him a contract. not sure about that but it is an ongoing story. let's head to the times, if i can find it. daisy, this is a quirky story. late bloomers. why older people get smarter in september. at the beginning of the school year. this is not about children. we might wish
11:49 pm
that our children get very smart in september. a big study, 3000 people in north america and europe who were asked to do iq test and the researchers were not specifically trying to work out if your intelligence, when you are above a certain age, went up and down during a. they did them randomly and realised the test they did in and around september always got much better results. they are trying to work out why this may be. one of the theories is that, particularly as we get older, that our brains experience something like a sort of hibernation. this is the underlying rhythms are similar to those that regulate mammals and animals, helping us minimise activities when fewer resources a re helping us minimise activities when fewer resources are available, taking advantage of them at a time where they are abundant. sort of hedgehog brains going on during the winter and spring. yeah. it is fascinating. it was an a small size,
11:50 pm
it was the equivalent of four years worth of ageing between spring and autumn. so yeah, apparently, maybe it doesn't autumn. so yeah, apparently, maybe it doesn't kick autumn. so yeah, apparently, maybe it doesn't kick in autumn. so yeah, apparently, maybe it doesn't kick in until autumn. so yeah, apparently, maybe it doesn't kick in until you autumn. so yeah, apparently, maybe it doesn't kick in until you are over 70. it is certainly true that older generations find winter a lot tougher. maybe it is a sort of extra stress of the wintertime and then the relief that you just had a nice long summer, who knows? that is the headline. get smarter in september if you are over the age of 70. i am afraid we still have a little way to go. 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 is 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, daisy and kevin. coming up next, the latest from the bbc sport centre.
11:51 pm

11:52 pm
iam after the results went against them. i am lost for words. either know what to say, apart from we knew that the game would be tough. throughout the game would be tough. throughout the campaign, albania have caused us problems because we haven't dealt with the physical side of the game. screen mac. screaming. in men's football, adam lallana has pulled out of the england squad for upcoming matches against spain and switzerland due to a growing spring. the fulham goalkeeper has been called up to bolster the squad. it means england have four goalkeepers in their party. meanwhile, luke shaw has been speaking about the changes he has been going through to win his place back for club and country. not just on the pitch, but off the pitch i have matured. i have grown up and you could say i have borne from,

11:54 pm
2012. he was or is go to be part of the infrastructure, if you like, this ryder cup team because he had been named as a vice captain. at the start of the year when he returned from those multiple back surgeries, it was one of his goals, two awesome self back into the american ryder cup team either by qualifying automatically, or has been the case, earning this wildcard. he says that it is an incredible feeling, beyond special, that he is back in the american ryder cup team and cannot wait for the match, which takes place at the end of this month. there has been a shock in the women's draw at the us open. anastasija sevastova knock defending champion sloane stephens out with a 6—2, 6—3 victory to progress to the semi—finals. she broke stevens to go 3—1 up and never looked back. the 19th seed went through in straight sets to become the first latvian woman to
