11:30 pm
week, as we will see. as we next week, as we will see. as we look at the picture for friday, we got low pressure in the north sea and early rain in eastern scotland, north—east england, still easing in the northern isles, far north of mainland scotland. elsewhere, the odd shower. a cool west north—westerly breeze but for many into the afternoon it will be dry. some sunny spells around, but we are seeing some temperatures getting into the low 20s and that is less likely for friday. if we look into the weekend, that area of low pressure becoming less significant but we have a fresh frontal system coming in from the atlantic. that means rain for some, but there is still a lot to play for in the detail here. it looks like england and wales going to be targeted with outbreaks of rain. there may not be too much, though, in southern england. it may not fringe at all into northern and scotland, leaving it mainly dry here but we still can't be exactly sure about the position of that rain. as we go into sunday, looks like this frontal system here may just sunday, looks like this frontal system here mayjust install through parts of england and wales, with cloud, and still some patchy rain or
11:31 pm
a few showers. again, not exactly sure where, keep checking the forecast regarding that for updates. we could see some heavy showers and a brisk breeze blowing on the of north—west scotland. many other places could remain dry, have some sunny spells, and it may tend to be a little bit warmer by the time we get the sunday. looking at monday, a quiet start. more atlantic weather fronts are coming our way, and it looks at the moment as though they are going to be targeting northern ireland and scotland with some outbreaks of rain. a breeze from the west or south—west across the uk. looks like england and wales staying mainly dry on monday, with some sunny spells, and still a few places getting into the low 20s. now, the uncertainty next week is about the position of the jet stream. this forecast would suggest that next week it is going to be targeting the northern half of the uk, close to the low pressure here, more likely to see some spells of rain, stronger winds at times, and lower temperatures. the further south you are, you are to high pressure across
11:32 pm
much of europe, things more settled and the temperature is higher as well. there could be a range of temperatures across the uk next week. some of us could be in the blue, closer to low pressure and some of us could reach into the low to mid 20s, the further south you are. but remember the uncertainty of those tropical weather systems in the atlantic. a small shift in the jet stream could shift the type of whether you get the feel of the weather as well. there is still a lot to play for. it could still look and feel very different. it is fun, this, isn't it? hello. this is bbc news with martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment, first the headlines: british airways suffers a major data breach. the airline says hackers have stolen the details of 380,000 bank cards belonging to its customers. the us, france, germany and canada have agreed with the uk that the russian government almost certainly approved the novichok poisoning in salisbury. 0rdo you do
11:33 pm
or do you do besides drive fast? have fun. -- what do you do besides. and legendary film star burt reynolds certainly did have fun in a career that spanned six decades. he died today aged 82. an inquest finds neglect and gross failure of care contributed to the death of a toddler at royal manchester children's hospital. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the former director of communications for the conservative party, giles kenningham, and polly mackenzie, director of the centre—left think tank, demos. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. we can't show you the front pages like we normally do, i won't even pretend to understand what's going on. but it's not working, that's all
11:34 pm
i know. but i can talk to our guests, which is what you are here for, and thank you for coming. let's start with the times. shall i hold it up? josh? do you need that? josh hasn't done it this way before. josh is very digital, while i'm quite analogue. reckless russian agents could have killed 4000. intelligence report reveals a full—scale of risk. 4000 could have died as a result of been other truck poisoning in salisbury, the investigation has been going on for months. the nerve agent, in a counterfeit perfume bottle... and remember, it did kill someone, bottle... and remember, it did kill someone, it killed dawn sturgess after the attack on sergei and yulia skripal, these two completely innocent bystanders basically were also killed by this. but the scale of the devastation that could have been brought by this extraordinary
11:35 pm
action by the russian state, it is now clear, as an attack on british soil, and what the papers are now talking about is now that the government and the police have stacked up an extraordinary body of evidence which i think blows out of the water the absurd conspiracy theories that we've seen circulating by basically pro russian propagandists, there's now a question of how do we diplomatically retaliate against russia and how do we act to protect ourselves and our citizens from this kind of action in the future? we saw some of that diplomatic action today at the united nations, russia completely rejecting these accusations, but several uk allies coming out in support of theresa may. germany, france and canada have come out and their full backing. but the issue here is there's a perception that russia can act with a impunity. rhetoric is one thing but what
11:36 pm
they're doing it use be to people within government and the use security services, it's all about freezing russian assets, that's what will hurt them. there will be cyber warfare , will hurt them. there will be cyber warfare, they are going to hit them and they are going to hit us, it could be a question of tit for tat but freezing of those assets and the associates' assets of the russian government is going to hit them hard. interesting to if that happens. we saw that when crimea was annexed. as giles said, the sanctions have limited impact at times no matter how much you ratchet them up? they do. what's fascinating is the uk remains incredibly open to a wall of russian money. there's endless number of very, very high—value properties bought up by russian oligarchs or people with close links to putin. that's not the
11:37 pm
only in which russia has an influence on our politics. the russians are incredibly close to the corbynista movement where this propaganda has been completely absorbed as if it's the truth, that russia has been trying to co—operate, that they have nothing to do with this attack. these two agents were operating with false names but real passports. who can issue a real passport in a false name but the russian state? we have a politics corrupted by their propaganda. polly has raised an interesting point, it raises the spotlight and it means we should have more scrutiny or ocean companies operating in this company, russian companies buying up uk assets, russian companies floating on the uk stock exchange —— on russian companies. the government has to get its house in order and re—look at this. should this be
11:38 pm
happening at all? looking on the telegraph, gchq chief plots revenge on russia. whether we will get to see all get tonight what any of those tactics are... there's a whole toolkit. there's a propaganda war going on here, they're looking at naming and shaming russia and using publicity so they feel the full force. with the skripal thing, i suspect russia didn't really calculate it would unravel and become such a huge diplomatic storm, and hoping there will be a knock—on effect with different countries around the world. normally if you think you're going to do something and launch a cyber security attack, you're not going to talk about it. i suspect this is about trying to create a wall of noise around russia and creating pressure on them but the way you really hit them is by freezing assets, freezing bank accounts, and bank accounts of known associates of the russian government associates of the russian government as well. this talk from gchq, designed to be disruptive, designed
11:39 pm
to create uncertainty and put them on notice. also the issue of cyber security, how much mortgage and wean it to be around that. well, there's a series of stories coming up, as we go through the papers, to do with hacking and cyber security. it's clear that this is the new front of wa rfa re clear that this is the new front of warfare between states. it's technically complicated. it happens m, technically complicated. it happens in, you know, in people's basements and in—state office buildings. it's not the kind of thing people make movies about, and it's actually a lot cheaper than guns and bombs and ta nks lot cheaper than guns and bombs and tanks and aeroplanes. the amount of damage i think that a state can do to another if you can hack into its computer systems, its electricity supply, computer systems, its electricity supply, you can actually disrupt us. there's also a huge amount of resilience effort that has to go into protecting our national infrastructure. it might be cheaper
11:40 pm
but you've still got to invest, and you got to have the expertise. you absolutely must. as polly said, this is something someone can do from their bedroom and it crosses borders and it's hard to trace. the latest figure says the government will double its spending on cyber security versus the spending on tackling terrorism. it's the new front, you know. we need to catch up on that. that's where we're going next, as polly suggested, there are several stories on the front pages tonight that are to do with cyber security and hacking. we have the daily mail talking about this hack at british airways. 380,000 bank ca rd at british airways. 380,000 bank card details hacked from british airways. it happened between the zist airways. it happened between the 21st of august and last night, polly? so what is good here is that ba, as soon as they've become aware of this, they found a way to close it down and notify the authorities. police, information commissioner.
11:41 pm
this isn't one of those funny stories where someone left bank details on a usb drive on a train, this is a deliberate attack by criminals based at the moment it seems we have no idea where, somewhere in the world, and those brianna and 80,000 bank card details will now be duplicated and traded on the dark net all across the world —— 380,000. if you've been shopping at ba during that time period, it's important to follow their advice and call your bank and consider getting your cards cancelled and getting a new one to protect yourself. the most disturbing fact about this story is it took them almost two weeks to find out this had taken place. and a third party told them about it. that's the really worrying thing. it is destroying trust in big brands. that's the issue, customers need confidence and certainty over it. britain is still leading the world pretty much in terms of big economies in terms of the amount
11:42 pm
we're willing to spend online. at the moment, the british consumer is incredibly invested in the idea of buying stuff online and trusting people with their card details. i don't think you have to go through many disasters personally before you start to lose trust. we have to invest in new ways to protect ourselves. can ijust ask, are consumers in other countries turning away from shopping online? we embraced it bigger and faster than eve ryo ne embraced it bigger and faster than everyone else. we are almost a cashless society, about 4% of cash is in circulation so that gives you an idea that most transactions are online. let's look at another story of this ilk as well on the financial times. us claims north korea ordered hacker to launch attacks, including wannacry. they've charged this man, but, giles, highly unlikely that he will be brought to justice because he seems to be in north korea? interesting because the backdrop of
11:43 pm
this has happened while trump has been trying to reach out to kim jong—un in terms of trying to mend diplomatic ties. but it reinforces what we said before, this is the new front in terms of what's going on and, to some extent, feels like a crime without consequence in many circumstances. this is a group called the lazaros group, who being connected to and associated with some very large—scale hacks over recent years? absolutely -- who been. the us has brought cyber hacking charges against chinese, russian and iranian nationals —— who's been. there's a trump administration official who says we've now got four out of four of oui’ we've now got four out of four of our principal adversaries in cyberspace. but this is like a game of whack a mole. hackers are everywhere. they have conferences. word be caucus, they chat online.
11:44 pm
the skills that they have, invested in by states that are our enemies, get bigger every time. —— they have conferences, caucuses. this is the new front. you need some of those hackers to turn good and work for governments like ours to prevent these attacks. i suspect there's a lot of stuff going on behind—the—scenes that we will never know about to do that. it's funny, a colleague of mine has just published a book in which he suggests we need to bea a book in which he suggests we need to be a lot more creative, especially in the balkans, there's huge fake news and hacking factories, we need to create economic opportunity in the... the good economy, to use your word, so people aren't pulled into criminal networks and criminal gangs as the only way to make any money. make it worth your while. you hugged on the
11:45 pm
whole fake news thing, massive issue. facebook have acted with impunity, they've been reckless and irresponsible —— you touched on. these big digital providers should be regulated i think because they're not... it's moving that way? yes, i do think so. they were once disruptors, now they are publishers and they should be facing stringent regulations. they're not acting responsibly. this is where people consume a lot of venues and therefore they have a responsibility to filter out the false stuff. we've seen a to filter out the false stuff. we've seen a recent rearguard action by facebook, haven't they? belatedly. in germany, merkel brought in rules where you have blatant fake news on your website you can have fines of 14,000 euros if you don't pull them down within 24 hours. we should threaten that here if they don't act -- 40,000 threaten that here if they don't act —— 40,000 euros. threaten that here if they don't act -- 40,000 euros. let's move on, back
11:46 pm
to the telegraph. prince charles, my latest battle is against crazy ai. prince charles has had all sorts of issues he's spoken out about in the past. he's been ridiculed, architecture, housing, the environment, sometimes people come round to his way of thinking in the end. this is about his concerns over the impact of a eye on human interaction. i think giles and prince charles would get on with their concern about the ways technology is disrupting much of our lives, and it is clear technology is bringing us extraordinary benefits. just last week we saw reports that al is going to be used to create new ways to tackle cancerous tumours in our healthcare system. and doing extraordinary things. but as things change, you just need to find a way for your regulatory system to react, all of these things, social media
11:47 pm
which allows us to make friends and connections from all around the world, also makes it really hard to turn off from all of that noise. it seems to be having an impact on the mental health and well—being of young girls and women in particular. and so i think charles is right to raise a red flag and say we should worry about this. for my money, i think it is overkill. he says it is crazy. it is not crazy, but it needs proper, adaptive regulations. crazy. it is not crazy, but it needs proper, adaptive regulationsm crazy. it is not crazy, but it needs proper, adaptive regulations. it is more about balance, for banking and shopping online, and seeing my doctor online, but he makes the point that we are living through an incredibly disrupted time. change is happening overnight. i am all for progress but we don't want to be in a situation we face as a society where people do not communicate any more. we are seeing to some extent the death of the high street. we don't want to lose the heartbeat of
11:48 pm
communities, we don't want to lose those places of socialisation. he does raise an interesting point. i don't have a solution, but it is something to look at. a hologram giles would be much more fun. and film legend burt reynolds has died at the age of 82. he knew how to have fun. one of the most iconic actors of the last 60 years, a career which spanned six decades, and was one of the old school hollywood heartthrobs. you don't see chest hair on hollywood heartthrobs these days. you don't see moustache is like that either. years have come back into fashion. —— beards. is like that either. years have come back into fashion. -- beards. you said no one had fun like he did, but paid for it in the end, bankrupt,
11:49 pm
$11 million in debt, but made a bit ofa $11 million in debt, but made a bit of a comeback with boogie nights. you have to have a certain amount of style to get $11 million in debt. my favourite film he speaks italian throughout and it is completely bizarre, but a rather brilliant telling of the demise of sicily, basically. i have never seen it. another one to put on with the subtitles on. i am seeing mark kermode tomorrow for the film review, i will have to bring it up. looking at the times, the university term is about to start. fresh hope at last for unwashed millennial is. this is a new aerosol spray called day two. what does it do? it will render warm clothes almost as fresh
11:50 pm
as when they first came out of the wardrobe. they are saying that a lot of what they are saying... 60% of millennial is have unwashed clothing, and this is a quick fix for them. obviously will hit big consumer giants like unilever and procter & gamble, but an interesting assessment on the millennial generation and their approach to cleanliness. this is definitely not a product for me, because i have preschool children so i barely make it through breakfast without great clods of porridge on me. the idea that i could just spray that, definitely not. they want to spend as little of the day as possible on laundry. that is everybody, surely. if you don't have a washing machine, you have to go and sit in the launderette, and the most times have changed, that is quite tedious and
11:51 pm
you never have enough 50p coins to go in. if it is dei two, it is fine, not if it is day 20 —— day two. 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. thank you, giles kenningham and polly mckenzie. goodbye. good evening. hello and welcome to the programme. let's start in cardiff, where you might remember wales's world cup dreams were shattered by the irish nearly one year ago. many said tonight's uefa nations league match between the two sides might be a chance for revenge.
11:52 pm
if so, they certainly got it, beating the republic of ireland 4—1, and in ryan giggs‘s first competitive match in charge. david ornstein was there. their run to the semifinals of euro 2016 captured the hearts of the nation, and invigorated welsh football. but now for a new era, in a new competition, that offers an alternative ticket to the next major tournament. wales have a new manager, as well, and ryan giggs‘s first competitive match in charge got off to the perfect start. tom lawrence finishing the type of move of which his boss would approve. their hopes of success could rest at the feat of gareth bale, and this is why. gareth bale doing what gareth bale does. wales's other star name is aaron ramsey, and he was next to shine, as the home side went into the break three goals to the good. depleted by injuries, ireland were a shadow of the side that won here a
11:53 pm
year ago to end welsh streams of qualifying for the world cup, and the payback continued when conor roberts registered his first senior goal, and in some style —— connor roberts. in cruise control they suffered a lapse in concentration, aaron ramsey robbed by shaun williams, though a mere consolation for the visitors on a night that belonged to giggs and wales. it is the first time they have beaten ireland at home in almost 40 years. and who knows, perhaps a significant step in their quest to reach the euros in two years' time. up next for wales should be a much more recognisable danish side than the one beaten 3—0 by slovakia on tuesday, a team mostly made up of lower—league and futsol players. that was due to a dispute over commercial rights between the danish fa and their top players. but they have now reached a temporary agreement, so expect the return of the likes of kasper schmeichel and christian eriksen and co for their meeting with wales on sunday. slovenian primoz roglic has moved into the lead of the tour
11:54 pm
of britain, after team lottonl—jumbo won the race's first—ever team time trial. roglic now has an overall lead over julian alaphilippe and bobjungels by six and 16 seconds respectively. team sky finished fourth in the time trial from cockermouth to whinlatter pass, in the lake district, and that left their lead rider, wout poels, fifth overall. and there is a new leader at the vuelta a espana, after a dramatic finish to stage 12. the stage was won by frenchman alexandre geniez, ahead of dylan van baarle, both riders then coming together with an official at the line and falling off. the time gap between geniez and the chasing group means simon yates is replaced in the red jersey byjesus herrada, who now has a lead of three minutes and 22 seconds over the rest of the field. the german max keiffer leads the way at the european masters golf
11:55 pm
in cra ns—sur—sierre, after shooting a six—under—par opening round. england's andy sullivan is just one shot off the lead, afterfive birdies on his back nine. he is amongst four players on five—under, whilst matt wallace is trying to put behind him the disappointment of narrowly missing out on a ryder cup place. after a bright start, he is a little way off the lead on two—under. wigan warriors keep up their pressure at the top of super league, after victory over wakefield in the super 8s. joe greenwood scored in the final minutes to give wigan a 25—10 win. they remain second, four points behind leaders st helens. that's all the sport for now. enjoy the reest of your evening. hello there. it was a good day for spotting rainbows today, even double rainbows across the northern half of
11:56 pm
the uk. plenty of showers, some thunderstorms earlier on as well. a lot of those have now faded away but till some wet weather to the north and north—east of scotland. further south we had a spell of rain pushing its way south eastwards, the last dregs of that clearing away from the south—east corner. for many of us are south—east corner. for many of us a re pretty south—east corner. for many of us are pretty cloudy seen through the afternoon. i think we will see a bit more sunshine on the way for tomorrow. the skies clearing, a north—westerly breeze still bring in one or two showers over the irish sea into the north—west of england. most of the rain in northern and eastern scotland, close to these north sea coast. on the whole it will be dry and clear and quite chilly overnight. we will find those temperatures widely into single figures. a complicated weather map over the next few days. low pressure actually sitting through the north sea, and the closer you are to that, the more likely you are to get some outbreaks of rain. so we've got some wet weather moving down across eastern scotland, perhaps affecting the north—east of england for a while. the odd shower creeping across north wales, northern england
11:57 pm
towards the wash. a lot of those showers will tend to move offshore during the afternoon so while we will see some air whether cloud bubbling up, it may well be dry with some sunny bubbling up, it may well be dry with some sunny spells. most places will have a dry, bright and breezy day. a north—westerly breeze means it probably won't be as warm in the south of england as it has in just recently. 19 degrees at best. further north, with some sunshine and fewer downpours, those temperatures may be a little bit higher. but we have got competitions and uncertainty in the details heading into the weekend. there are some rain gathering in from the atla ntic some rain gathering in from the atlantic working its way across the uk. at the moment, it looks like it will be england and wales which will see cloud and outbreaks of rain. could be a bit soggy on saturday. southern counties of england missing most of that rate. there is a chance the rank of that southern parts of northern ireland and southern scotland, but further north we will be dry with a decent day ‘s today. temperatures very similar to those on friday, 17 to 19 degrees. there will still be some rain overnight and the tendency on sunday is the
11:58 pm
push that wet weather northward and eastwards out into the north sea. and improving picture, really, on sunday. more sunshine coming through, away from some showers still there in northern scotland. if anything goes in pictures will to rise a bit, especially across england and wales, 21 or 22 degrees and a continuing warming trend in the south—east of the uk. into the early pa rt the south—east of the uk. into the early part of next week, could get temperatures into the mid—20s. further north and west across the uk, more cloud, wind and some rain at times. welcome to newsday, on the bbc. i'm sharanjit leyl, in singapore. the headlines: president trump under attack from inside the white house, but close aides deny writing an anonymous article that slammed his presidency. joyful scenes in india as the supreme court rules that gay sex is no longer a criminal offence. i'm kasia madera, in london. also in the programme: britain is backed by the us and france, as it tells the un that the salisbury nerve agent attack was almost certainly approved by the russian government.
