10:45 pm
the figures are thing. the figures are frightening, examples are awful, i don't know how serious these attacks all are, but it does suggest that there is still you know i really deep—seated problem in the schools. absolutely, 70,000 support teachers are victims of assault, 23,000 a week, i mean it's always very hard with stories of big numbers to get us skit —— a sense of scale, but that many teachers getting assaulted every week is just teachers getting assaulted every week isjust a teachers getting assaulted every week is just a really extraordinary and it does make me asjohn says, really eager to know whether this is a problem that's worsening and if so, why because clearly the problem is not something you sort of address byi is not something you sort of address by i don't know giving teaching assistant protection or something there something much more deep—seated going on about children behaviour and perhaps what's going on in the family background generally and governments should be desperate to address that. this is a story where we are desperate to get the extra pages they get inside to get more context, but certainly
10:46 pm
shocking scale of violence they say and an example of a pregnant teaching assistant had a miscarriage after being kicked in the it it the clearly disturbing and it's going to be something to delve into more i think. henry, daily telegraph the headline, iranian regime has infiltrated labour. this sounds terribly sort of sinister, this is a case of one particular mp and it's very specific talk us through. it's a noddy story, press tv is the state backed iranian tv channel that has not broadcast in the uk for some yea rs, not broadcast in the uk for some years, it had its licence revoked about six years ago. and the reason there back in the headlines is because a labour mp who differs with jeremy corbyn a lot of things but the one who's quite topical is anti—semitism and the middle east we re anti—semitism and the middle east were generally. her visits with the party or certain activist in her party or certain activist in her party were so aghast at her
10:47 pm
criticism ofjeremy corbyn on the anti—semitism today passed a notion of no confidence on her last night, now the reason this interacts with iran is that a journalist from that channel was at the meeting and tweeting a video of the no confidence with out being read out, so confidence with out being read out, so the link to the telegraph is making his that the fact that he's a labour party member it appears, suggest that the iranian regime is now infiltrating labour. is that a strong word? yes, i do think this is, isa strong word? yes, i do think this is, is a remarkably blunt of story. i have to say. it's an interesting story and henry wrote about it for the times, and i'm sure the independent has as well, but to put as the front—page lead, it's a bit odd. i mean, certainly people should not be filming inside party meetings, that'sjust a sort of rule of most parties have, and so he's
10:48 pm
going to get told off. the idea it's some sort of foreign interference and the labour party is a bit far—fetched. and the labour party is a bit far-fetched. like russia and america scales, the lever investigation. interesting, i suppose is really another way perhaps for the paper coming at the split in the labour party, the quote from dancing as pa rt party, the quote from dancing as part ofan party, the quote from dancing as part of an attempt to quote purge moderates from labour, and it's exploring again the sort of divisions within the party. the interesting thing isjohn ryan and other non—core nights mps have motions of no confidence passed against them by their local parties. which, as some of the best that, does not actually alter anything. gavin is another example of that, passing a motion of no confidence is not something that has any effect in the labour party rules. but, it could be a precursor to them being deselected and not allowed to stand asa labour deselected and not allowed to stand as a labour candidate next time.
10:49 pm
it's a good way of activist local testing the support base and the fa ct testing the support base and the fact that joan ryan testing the support base and the fact thatjoan ryan lost nearly, but other mp5 fact thatjoan ryan lost nearly, but other mps in recent days lost by warwick —— wider margins meeting that it warwick —— wider margins meeting thatitis warwick —— wider margins meeting that it is not part of the selection process , that it is not part of the selection process, the activist to deselected we re process, the activist to deselected were pretty sure now they do have numbers to go through the technical process and that will worry a lot more labour mp then just a two or three who fell foul of this lesson status of motion as of late. stable politics, like the mirror, focusing on borisjohnson we heard is getting divorced, not particularly edifying for us to go over details of what his private life may be, but both papers raising the issue of is the fa ct papers raising the issue of is the fact that he sort of been accused of various misdeeds, going to harvest chance at a tory leadership? guess that's important question isn't it there's an assumption that the conservative party if any party is going to worry about this kind of
10:50 pm
thing is the conservative party for family and traditional family values so family and traditional family values so they might disapprove of this kind of thing. but the thing is a borisjohnson is a sort of kind of thing. but the thing is a boris johnson is a sort of known quantity in this department, he's had affairs before, the conservative party knows about it, and they still love him. at the party grassroots, big question is whether the mps would ever allow boris johnson big question is whether the mps would ever allow borisjohnson name to go forward to the party members for a ballot, and to go forward to the party members fora ballot, and i think to go forward to the party members for a ballot, and i think that's in doubt, but not because of his private life i think it's because of his... he was not a good foreign secretary did not impress, and has not really made it i think as an alternative prime minister.|j totally agree, there's arles sorts of hurdles into becoming pm and is a small one. the bigger hurdle for him, is that he was quite a bad foreign secretary, i mean, you really would be quite hard—pressed to find both would spend time talk
10:51 pm
to find both would spend time talk to people as best talk to people and lots of —— do people think he was actually capable of functioning in that office, in fact even some mps who back them for the leadership would say, perhaps that role did not suit him, but we think he is a sparkle stardust which to get us a majority again. sol sparkle stardust which to get us a majority again. so i think boris johnson, to the extent it might be a problem for him, it mightjust play into that background fear and the mind of some of the mps, who are not sure on him right now, is a serious politician with the country taken seriously, but i think there are bigger questions for him to answer in terms of actually getting that level series that. you say that male says they have a poll which says his adultery could harm the tories if the voting public would care about these things, do you think... we would have to see the detail of that, as i understand it it ask them if they would be more likely to vote for him leader, i don't think, those
10:52 pm
kind of polls are not very useful in my view, because people are very bad at predicting how they would vote it so—and—so were leader of a party, i mean, ithink so—and—so were leader of a party, i mean, i think the point about boris as henry said, over the past two years, a surprising number of people have come to the conclusion that michael was right, in 2016 two which dropped his support and stab them in the back or front or whichever bit, and you know, to say that in his opinion borisjohnson and you know, to say that in his opinion boris johnson wasn't the prime minister material, and everything we seems is that has confirmed that. henry, take us into the ft, and this story about pension shift accosting £4 billion in cuts isa shift accosting £4 billion in cuts is a bit ofa shift accosting £4 billion in cuts is a bit of a grim reading your, well look at the treasury thinking they're going to need a lot more money to cover some pension shortfalls. westminster got back to term as it were this week, and eve ryo ne term as it were this week, and everyone is obsessed with brexit but
10:53 pm
the budget is coming up, and if i we re the budget is coming up, and if i were working in the treasury, i would be utterly petrified by trying to find a way to spend the budget in any positive fashion whatsoever and this is a story which exemplifies that something i confess, had no idea it was coming down the tracks. but essentially because public—sector growth long—term economic growth has been lower than forecast, the treasury needs to spend a little bit more on public service pensions to make sure teachers and doctors and so on police officers, people in armed forces get the same level of pension, now that means spending cuts and all of those sectors of the public realm, and if you are a conservative government getting one for ten years in office, i would be terrified about the electoral consequences. austerity comes around again. the whole point is this, theresa may as pm was supposed to bring austerity to a get to an end, and getting rid of george osborne
10:54 pm
target of squeezing the public sector even target of squeezing the public sector even more as she was very sector even more as she was very proud sector even more as she was very proud of announcing huge amounts of extra spending in the coming years will —— for the nhs. but she hasn't provided that money yet and the treasury has it at the same time it's got a 4 billion the year like all pensions. everything going bad. you're right it's depressing, let's drop down a fraction there, we have a picture here, i say fantastic picture in the sense of the photography dare, of elon musk smoking marijuana, we should say this is legal where it was happening in california by illegal here, but it's whatever your view, it's controversial because he is controversial. in a live podcast peculiar thing to do, i mean,
10:55 pm
controversial. in a live podcast peculiarthing to do, i mean, i must admiti peculiarthing to do, i mean, i must admit i didn't really know who whatever his name is, i didn't know who he was, electric cars, all very sort of sounds very futuristic, but his company seems to be in trouble and this kind of take does not really help him and i would not think it would impresses investors. because the shares a test have been moving about a little. they been moving about a little. they been moving in one direction it seems, they fell 10% yesterday, story ends by saying, if i were an investor think i would be first baffled and then alarmed. i mean he's worth $1 billion of the key care is a. is getting less all the time isn't it because if is car company does not work, i don't know what he's got, he got himself in trouble by libeling one of the thai cave rescue people,
10:56 pm
i mean. because he offered his upbringing he said he had a special one that could've gone into the caves. yes all these schemes for superfast hypersonic titles and things which don't sound... what i would think support is given he's cast himself as manufacturer of cars and other things as a sort of 20% dramatic mentor i can see it having a picture on this financial times playing into that. i think he likes to be the bad boy the visionary of the tech world with us $20 billion. that's it for the papers. you'll both be back at 11:30. next, it's the weather with nick miller. hello. most of us had sunshine at some stage of the day today. there were a few showers around particularly through initially eastern scotland and eastern parts of england. some threatening cloud on this
10:57 pm
weather picture from norfolk area. the rest of those showers have cleared away and actually it is mainly dry out. however we are seeing some outbreaks of rain. moving into the far north northeast of scotland. and cloud increase in wales, western england into northern ireland. we're seeing some outbreaks of rain edging inwards during the night. this will keep the temperature up in the double figures here and maybe to the far northeast of scotland, too. but elsewhere, if you've got clear skies, you'll be just a bit down into the single figures for a chill in air to start the weekend. the weekend's weather? well, saturday dominated by this frontal system from the atlantic taking this way, the rain. through parts of england and wales. could be a bit of that fringing into southern areas of northern ireland to begin the day. but once that clears there should be sunny spells. the rest of the day would be dry. there southwest and northeast of scotland some early patch of rain. between the two, there will be a slice of sunshine. most places will be seeing sunny spells into the afternoon via the odd shower. this area of rain runs from wales across parts of northern england, the midlands, towards eastern side
10:58 pm
of england during the day. south of that, the far south of england mainly dry with some sunny spells, breezy particularly where you're seeing cloud and outbreaks of rain. and temperatures in the mid—to high teens. so, nowhere particularly warm during saturday. now as we run on through to saturday night and into sunday morning, still got this area of rain just weakening a bit. but another pulse starts to work in as the night goes on. again into wales and western parts of england, northern ireland moving on towards scotland going into sunday morning. not going to be as chilly as sunday begins, though still north of that rain zone in scotland, some single—figure temperatures. some outbreaks of rain to start the day on sunday to the north and the west in particular. but many of us turning dry and brighter into the afternoon. in northwest scotland still some heavy showers moving in with strengthening winds, some gale—force winds developing as we go into sunday night. it will feel a bit warmer for many of us on sunday, particularly in afternoon sunny spells. and in fact that warmth will build a bit further across parts of england and wales as we go into next week with temperatures at times possibly into the mid—20s. that's your forecast.
