the weekend, that area to the into the weekend, that area to the north sea near scotland, it may start a producing rain for parts of northern ireland and french southern scotland. some of this will be heavy as it wishes east, the breeze associated with that will not be particularly warm. may be a dry afternoon in northern ireland and may brighten up later in the day across the western spots of england and wales. part two of the weekend, that system clears away and something quieter on its way. more of us try and sing sunshine, maybe some showers, especially across this zone which could move in from the west as we go on to the day. not bone dry, but more dry, bridges in the teens, a few into the low 20s. on monday, the view clearly shows athletic driven weather, this front all the way. atlantic. some cloud, outbreaks of rain, not everywhere wet and cloudy, some spells in northern scotland, bearing that on

monday and temperatures close to average, still quite pleasant. i wa nt to average, still quite pleasant. i want to show the jet stream format is weak and the idea is that it is coming right at uk. it could well be that the main part of it is focus across the northern half of the uk. the more active weather system is wet, windy and cooler. further south you are, the further you are away from the closer to high pressure and tends to be more settled. it may flirt with southern areas at times, that aside you have these colours speak ina that aside you have these colours speak in a cane of florence, the uncertainty with a forecast in the atlantic, that means nothing is set in stone in our forecast, that is why we want you to keep coming back for regular updates. hello, this is bbc news. we will be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines: two russian intelligence officers are named as suspects in the poisoning of former spy sergei skripal and his daughter yulia in salisbury. after an extensive study of cctv and other images,

scotland yard says there is sufficient evidence to charge the two men. top members of donald trump's administration are so alarmed by the president's behaviour that they are actively working to undermine him, an anonymous senior official writes in the new york times. labour's parliamentary party agrees to adopt the international definition and examples of antisemitism, without any caveats. britain and france reach a deal over scallop fishing in the english channel, after fishermen from both countries clashed at sea last month. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are political commentator lance price and defence

correspondent for the times lucy fisher. most of tomorrow's front pages are now in. the i leads with the two russian nationals who were named as suspects in the attempted murder of former spy sergei skripal and his daughter yulia. the two suspects are pictured on the front page of the sun, smiling after the attack in salisbury, in march. the daily mail says theresa may is declaring war on vladimir putin's spy network in the wake of the poisoning attack. the times also leads on the prime minister's promise of revenge on russia, following the nerve agent attack. the same story makes the front page of the ft. but the paper also reports on the sell—off in emerging markets sparked by currency crises in turkey and argentina. the telegraph leads on the skripal poisoning suspects. but it also carries a warning from the health secretary, matt hancock, that dangerous nhs it systems are risking the lives of patients. the express has a picture of what it

calls assassins sent by putin. but it also reports on the death of bbc presenter rachael bland, decribing her as beautiful and courageous. and the head of nhs england is accusing betting firms that sponsor premier league football clubs of shirking their duty to help britain's problem gamblers. that is in the guardian. so those are the front pages. let's see what our reviewers make of it all. so many of them dominated by these very stark pictures of the two suspect, named dramatically in the commons by the prime minister yesterday. and lucy, the sun talking about them as the smiling assassins. yes, so they have been named as

alexander petrov and ruslan boshirov. every part of their journey has been tracked, the cities they stayed in, how they travelled on the underground, how they took the train on the salisbury. an amazing level of detail today from theresa may after 250 detectives have gone through thousands of hours of cctv to work out exactly what happened. extraordinary, and that statement today in the commons, picked up in so many of the papers, the sun talking about how the hitmen grinned after the raid. and it probably silencers the people who we re probably silencers the people who were doubting whether the british government was right to point the finger at russia. including jeremy corbyn. and jeremy corbyn's spokesman was amongst those saying hang ona spokesman was amongst those saying hang on a minute, there may be more

to this. we haven't seen enough evidence. well, the evidence is there. they have been remarkably quiet about the whole thing today. and it was presented that the police news c0 nfe re nce and it was presented that the police news conference and then subsequently by the prime minister, and it is pretty compelling. but it raises some interesting questions about how these guys... you know, whether they are really competent at theirjobs as spies. obviously they failed on the principal attack although somebody died subsequently. for all of these pictures to be available and for the police to be able to track them as clearly as they were able to, and in one of the other papers, ben wallace, the security minister, said it was more johnny english than james security minister, said it was more johnny english thanjames bond. security minister, said it was more johnny english thanjames bondlj don't johnny english thanjames bond.|j don't exactly agree with that, i think it is missing the point. it is a level of recklessness which is a taunt. they knew they would be identified and it is something i

wrote about in the times, this escalation in the recklessness and the arrogance of the gru, this sort of famed russian military intelligence service, as they have escalated their activities around the world. it is a worrying sign about what it means about russia's wider intent, that it thinks it can act with impunity in undertaking these operations. it raises an interesting question about how putin will be responding to what has happened. will he be looking at this furious that the gru expose themselves to the extent that they did, leading to the crackdown which has followed, or is he simply quite pleased that russia is thumbing its nose at the rest of the world? and of course, theresa may has now seemed to indicate that she wants to try and crack down on the gru. aspire blitz on russia is the way the sun puts it. it is a huge and very powerful and by its nature very

secretive network. yes, it is difficult to know how, for example, direct justice can be difficult to know how, for example, directjustice can be sought, given that this pair are believed to be in russia and the uk hasn't even bothered seeking an extradition order because russia doesn't respect them. a european arrest warrant has been obtained but unless they stray abroad it is very unlikely they will be caught. and the question is, if she decides to really pursue kicking out diplomats, as many spies in russia go under the guise of, will the uk be left blindsided? obviously russia will try and bring its agents in but we may not know who they are if they are not so clearly attached to the russian embassy in london. and the times also picks up, as do so and the times also picks up, as do so many papers, this. theresa may vowing revenge is the headline, but also talking about the quiet spy who became caught in a global intrigue. ben mcintyre, who writes on espionage and write good novels

about it as well, looks at the career of mr skripal. it raises the question of why skripal was important enough to go to these lengths, to attempt to bump him off in this way. given he had already been swapped. he was the subject of a spy been swapped. he was the subject of a spy swap with russia. if they were that cross with him, they could have dealt with him when he was still on russian territory. and he wasn't an outspoken critic of mr putin in the way that litvinenko was. so what was it about him? apart from the fact that he had betrayed the gru, which obviously they hate, and the gru came after him, apart from that, why expose russia to this degree of reaction over somebody who was a relatively small player?” reaction over somebody who was a relatively small player? i think it isa relatively small player? i think it is a good question. i have been reading other things that ben

macintyre has written today, he has spoken about how gru pursues this code of loyalty, that lessons must be learnt, and there are rivalries between the gru and other intelligence services, the ssp and other successes to the kgb. i don't feel like we have gotten to the bottom of why agent forthwith, which is his codename, was targeted individuals. and the problem for theresa may is what exactly does she do about it? clearly there are already some sanctions in place. is she was seen as having a diplomatic coup by getting other countries to kick out russian diplomats this time around, but she is not going to be able to bring these guys to justice, and it is difficult to see what further diplomatic pressure is going to really make a difference. no, i think she has gone as far as she can

in seeking to put pressure on putin himself, although this will encourage others around the world, i think, to take it even more seriously than they have already. and i think that is part of the government's agenda over this, and they are going to the security council tomorrow to ask for further sanctions, and we can be pretty sure that that won't get anywhere, because russia has a veto on the security council. but it does put pressure on our allies, and i think in particular the government will be looking across the atlantic to the united states. they are very concerned about the sort of bromance between president trump and president putin, and they would very much like this to be a wake—up call to perhaps the president himself and to perhaps the president himself and to those around him, who are prepared to give president putin the benefit of the doubt more often than the british government would like. and it does leave uk — russian relations very much... not quite in the cold war, but pretty much in the

freezer. i think that's right. it is a strange ‘twilight‘ zone we find ourselves in now. i think the defence minister has called it not in the state of war, but warfare like act. and when you step back and think an individual was assassinated on british soil, the audacity of that act, it is a very worrying escalation of the situation. and it does read at times like a john le carre novel, it is classic espionage stuff. and let's look at one of the other stories on the front page of the telegraph, hancock declaring war on dangerous it systems risking lives in the nhs. matt hancock is determined to try and get some new technology across these it systems in the nhs. yes, so here's a relatively new appointment in the health and social care department,

and he like so many of his predecessors, going back at least to make decades, if not more, are recognising the fact that the nhs has a serious, serious problem with it. and i can remember 20 years ago when i was working down the street that we were trying to look at how this can be dealt with, and various attem pts this can be dealt with, and various atte m pts to this can be dealt with, and various attempts to do so. new it systems we re attempts to do so. new it systems were brought in at huge expense, that weren't successful. so we still have a system and the situation where anyone who has had any kind of contact with the health service, or have had relatives or parents who have, will know that the chances are ifa have, will know that the chances are if a patient goes in to see a co nsulta nt if a patient goes in to see a consultant that the consultant will not have all the fact is, and that information is held by the patient‘s gp, but the various elements of the nhs are not talking to each other. matt hancock has recognised the seriousness of the problem, although the response seems to be still

pretty wea k, the response seems to be still pretty weak, to be honest. he is talking about £200 million, which is a lot to you and me but isn't a great deal in terms of government spending, an extra 200 million quid to go into the nhs to help develop systems which work across the various elements of the nhs and the new nhs act which will be tested in five parts of the country. the nhs is really running to catch up on them. and it does seem extraordinary how much is still recorded on bits of paper in files, and individual gps' surgeries. i think that is right, and i i think what matt hancock does well here is join up those records. he highlights the tragic case of tamara mills, a 13—year—old from newcastle had died of asthma attack occurs when she was rushed to hospital records were not easily available, pointing out medication and so forth that she was on. i think it really is a pressing issue. do i have much confidence that this can be achieved easily? not really, the government doesn't

have a good record in terms of ambitious it projects. £200 million and a small app trial i think is going to take a lot longer and more money than that to get somewhere.- hints that part of the solution, which is allowing patients to have a lot more access to the details and information that is kept on them and a clinical records and so on and so forth. patients other one people who will keep track of it all, and maybe they are seeing a doctor for the first time, having seen many other doctors previously, they can say this is what you should know about my treatment that has gone on before. at the moment patients don't have that information themselves. the guardian has an interesting story also about the nhs. this is from the head of nhs england, saying that gambling firms are shirking their duty of care. there is a £10 million fund to help troubled gamblers. this is simon stephens,

the nhs england boss, saying it is an appalling situation, that there are eight major gambling firms who enjoy sponsorship, appearing on the shirt of premier league teams and are refusing to contribute to this fund, coming in the wake of the first proper specific gambling focused clinic opening in london. i think we just need to see much more done here and there are questions at the sports advertising, there has been accounts on tobacco and alcohol, we are on a 1—way road to seeing a crackdown on gambling advertising too. i read this as a chastisement of the premier league teams themselves and that they are taking large sums of money from these companies in sponsorship and they are the ones who should be really putting pressure on those companies to ensure that they are responding properly. it is usually influential for young people if responding properly. it is usually influentialfor young people if you see players in your favourite team

with one of the gambling companies emblazoned across the shout. yes, and there it is an enormous amount of money swirling around, as we know, professional football in this country and the amount of money they are asking in terms of contribution —— contributions is relatively small. it seems that they are being almost deliberately defiance. one more story. the financial times has the picture of facebook and twitter cheats up before us senators. —— chiefs. extraordinary to see them standing there taking that both. sherryl sandberg of facebook and jack dorsey twitter admitting they were slow to act in terms of their companies tackling foreign meddling and deceptive messages appearing on their platforms. it is fairly mealymouthed words from both of them, neither company is seems to have invested that much resource in really tackling these problems and

essentially it is one of the great challenges of our age, how do you regulate and tax these marauding transnational companies that go beyond borders. and two huge companies under a lot of pressure to do more. they say they are, but to tackle the abuse of messages, to tackle the abuse of messages, to tackle the abuse of messages, to tackle the way that some of the videos and so on are circulated on their platforms. and the degree of online abuse that we discussed so often. and obviously the recent case often. and obviously the recent case of the possibility of evidence that could be used in a murder investigation in this country. i mean, it is not the first and they have given evidence, we have had people give evidence to people in britain here as well. they sort of talk the talk about taking it seriously, but you are always left with the impression that they are

more concerned about protecting their brand and protecting what they believe we ordinary consumers want from their brand, which is a degree of privacy and security. that is thrown into even greater relief in the united states, of course, where freedom of speech is there in the constitution, it is regarded as absolutely fundamental to the american way of life. and people are relu cta nt to american way of life. and people are reluctant to see that eroded. it is a very, very difficult issue. but i still find these guys, to use the phrase loosely, this man and this woman, pretty mealymouthed when they say that they are on the case. thank you both very much indeed. 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, lance price and lucy fisher. goodbye. hello, i'm holly hamilton and this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. golf, and the european ryder cip team was confirmed on wednesday when captain thomas bjorn named his four wildcard pick for this year's matches against the united states. ian paul to got a wildcard, although he missed the defeat to the us in 2040. he missed the defeat to the us in 20110. he he missed the defeat to the us in 2040. he slumped to below 200 in the world rankings following accommodation of injuries and loss of form, he says he is the man for the occasion and a special person. he was even more glowing about sergio garcia, describing him as the

heart of the team. despite winning the masters in 2017, he has missed the masters in 2017, he has missed the ryder cup at the last five majors. thomas has obviously picked sergio, which is the fourth spot which was up in the air. he has dawned with, you could say form is temporary but class is permanent, sergio has experience in the ryder cup and thomas is banking that he will ring that enthusiasm that he brings a. it is all about winning point. many players deserve a spot in the ryder cup team, but no one is here to do anybody favours either. is that how can you assemble i2 here to do anybody favours either. is that how can you assemble 12 guys to put points on the board when it counts. the other two wildcard picks are henrik stenson and paul casey. the top four on the european money list and the top four europeans in the world rankings of. and five rookies to the ryder cup as well. alastair cook has admitted he cried

when he told his teammates last weekend of his decision to retire from international cricket after the oval test match, which starts on friday. but he revealed that he has been mulling it overfor the past six months. england have already won the series india, but he has been well below par throughout. he says he had just lost his edge but always said —— said there will always be a star of the future to replace him. iam i am definitely not irreplaceable. there will be another good player coming on, i am sure. with the same attributes as you? that is not for me to say. or like and say, it is ha rd me to say. or like and say, it is hard for me to talk about this, i still have one game to play and i am determined that play well. is very nice the kind words everybody said, ifi nice the kind words everybody said, if i died and it never would be a round again. —— it is. it has been a surreal couple of days, but i am

trying to play well in this game and win 4—1. trying to play well in this game and win 4-1. simon hughes continues to win 4-1. simon hughes continues to win —— where the winnersjerzy. italy's aleksander dimarco opened up the gap on the final section of the longest stage of the race to make, he held on for aggregate second victory. simon yates finished as the favourite, two seconds off the pace and he still has a slim lead byjust one second. andre grice will pick up his second win of this is to britain, the german held his nerve ina sprint britain, the german held his nerve in a sprint finish. italy came second with patrick bevan coming third, he extended his advantage by picking up four than a second. the england rob lee —— in rugby union head coach says danny cipriani still has an international future after

the fly half was fined for common assault and resisting arrest last month. he made his first up for his country in a decade over the summer, he was arrested injersey outside a nightclub in a pre—season to. he was fined by his club and given a warning by the rfu. jones said we never close the door on anyone, eve ryo ne never close the door on anyone, everyone makes mistakes. he has realised he has done the wrong thing and we move from that. enjoy the rest of your evening. hello there. the weather conditions are set to turn on settled was the end of the week as high—pressure meets low pressure which will continue to build over the north sea. with the high pressure to the south—west of the country. a couple of weak weather fronts a round, the country. a couple of weak weatherfronts a round, as the country. a couple of weak weather fronts a round, as you the country. a couple of weak weatherfronts a round, as you can see. is one weatherfronts a round, as you can see. is one across weatherfronts a round, as you can see. is one across northern scotland is producing the most rain at the moment across the north—east of scotla nd moment across the north—east of scotland and moving on into shetland. a few showers overnight

cool blustery day with showers, some of these could be heavy and frequent across scotland with a rumble of thunder. into friday, this is the area of low pressure i was talking about developing over the north sea. areas closest to that will see rain and strong as the wind. lot of uncertainty to the system but it is looking like the heaviest of the rain will remain over the sea. witticism heaviest rain into north—east scotland, maybe north—east scotland, maybe north—east england and a bit thundery. to the south and the west of the country further away from that, the better chance of staying dry. quite a cool blustery day wherever you are. temperatures ranging from his being in the north to 17- 19 ranging from his being in the north to 17— 19 further south of it also some uncertainty into the weekend, low pressure anchors to the north, the could see this feature running across wales and england for saturday. it could bring a spell of wet weather in places, again another cool day and there is better chance of seeing dry weather on sunday for england and wales, but scotland and
