needs this out there, government needs this out there, away from the bickering vision of what we could get which is selling —— sorely needed. worried at the bottom, there is a national audit office report which is damning, talking about the lack of preparation and how many projects are on red and amber. that might explain why this is coming to them. let's move on to what you might say is another gummy headline, jaguar chief warns many thousands of jobs at risk from your brexit tactics. this is a story in the guardian and jaguar land rover britain's leading car manufacturer. businesses have become emboldened and now we are getting to crunch time. we have the big conference next week and six to

eight weeks to outline a deal. jaguar saying we will lose thousands ofjobs, we jaguar saying we will lose thousands of jobs, we might jaguar saying we will lose thousands ofjobs, we might have to go to slovakia which explains this great picture above it. you look at this picture, and they don't seem to be enjoying it that much. this is why these companies will get a lot of this now. it's a striking picture of borisjohnson this now. it's a striking picture of boris johnson and jacob rees—mogg with their heads in their hands. we have seen borisjohnson with his head in his hands quite a lot this week for various reasons but as steve says, it will be iconic because the serious point is these people haven't had a serious plan. theresa may came up with the check is planned in july

theresa may came up with the check is planned injuly but they haven't come up with anything and in comparison to michael gove who has coherent policy it looked shambolic. i think they are rattled by michel barnier this week saying we could have a deal by november. they were hoping for a no deal so they could extra ct hoping for a no deal so they could extract the hard brexit. there was a press conference in the bowels of the commons and there has been a lot of bickering from some people who weren't there and some who said we need a proper press conference but this was amateurish. you remember vote leave and dominic cummings who was central to that campaign, they are not involved now. i suppose it's possible they were captured at a slightly sleepy moment. let's move on to the financial times. john mcdonnell the shadow chancellor laying out leaders stall am bound to

boost workers' rights and this is the idea all workers should have the same rights whether they work in the geek economy or they are employed full—time. geek economy or they are employed full-time. and that is a huge part of our economy full-time. and that is a huge part of our economy how. full-time. and that is a huge part of our economy now. a lot of service contractors now use it and labour acknowledging how the 21st—century economy has changed in the workforce. they are saying he announced today they shouldn't be any more zero—hours contracts and to pay for this they will raise taxes of pay for this they will raise taxes or borrowing and so on but i think it is an acknowledgement the economy is changing and we haven't heard any proposals from the government on this. they are trying to come up with an answerand this. they are trying to come up with an answer and however they are funding it, there needs to be a debate about it. and that is the question, how they will be funding it. john mcdonnell said they want to spend £500 million and he said that would be a first step. away from

that stuff, which seems crazy, what infuriates tory mps that i speak to is that the conservative party aren't anywhere to be seen on this stuff. you remember when theresa may came in and said she would help the just about managing, this whole thing on delivery workers, now it is labour setting out policies on this. they should have holiday pay and six —— sick pay. they should have holiday pay and six -- sick pay. and the government response to this is actually people wa nt response to this is actually people want flexible working but that is to co nflate want flexible working but that is to conflate the two. you can have flexible working without exploiting workers as well. this comes on the day the announcement wages is rising and unemployment is at a record low. we will get onto this intensive staff shortages but there is an argument that with fears around

vacancies at a record high, but businesses will have to start paying more to attract people in when vacancies do go up so wages at 3.1% injuly year—on—year, vacancies do go up so wages at 3.1% in july year—on—year, so vacancies do go up so wages at 3.1% injuly year—on—year, so a good sign, and the job injuly year—on—year, so a good sign, and thejob market has defied all doom and gloom. we will come ontojob vacancies all doom and gloom. we will come onto job vacancies later but let's move the metro for now, and a story we have been covering all day here on the bbc which is a punch on the nose. this is cressida dick, the head of the metropolitan police, over police pay. the independent pay review body had recommended a 3% rise for police officers, they have gone with 2%. there are two issues, theissue gone with 2%. there are two issues, the issue of pay but also the issue offunding. the issue of pay but also the issue

of funding. yes, and if you were to stand back from the stories, there isa stand back from the stories, there is a theme to save the economy is changing and money needs to be spent somehow. however it is raised it needs to be spent and we have been distracted by brexit. actually there are public service problems and the national audit office report was worrying. arrests down, confidence in police down, staffing numbers down, and surprise surprise if you cut funding for the police force there will be fewer arrests. police office rs have there will be fewer arrests. police officers have long complained to home secretary is about lack of pay and it's interesting that the home secretary's brother is a senior police officer and there is some dialogue there. and of course the home secretary has said he has heard what they have said and he's listening but at the end of the day he is confined within the parameters of the treasury. the budget will be

a huge moment because there are issues like this. you go back to how tory mps feel. all the competent government, do the public feel we are in charge of the country? we see here and other stories around tonight that people are worried about crime. it is rising. sajid javid saying i am fighting for you, i wanted to be 3%. philip hammond will be under huge pressure to a nswer will be under huge pressure to answer this but with 20 billion for the nhs, he said there is no more but he needs to solve the situation of police because it will cause a huge problem at the ballot box. let's pause politics briefly with the front page of the times, police catch ii—year—olds being used to sell drugs. they have done an

investigation, and the times have done this stuff before on county lines exposing terrible figures but their latest figures are they have used a poll of teenage cannabis users which has shown arise but also they have asked police forces about they have asked police forces about the ages of children arrested for possession with intent to supply and it's a huge increase of 5.5% over five years for under 18 's which is shocking. also the idea of 11—year—olds selling drugs is shocking. it feeds into police capacity to deal with this. just back to the telegraph because steve you were mentioning the budget and what looks to me a sort of pre—budget looseness so to speak. motorists furious as chancellor

prepares to increase fuel duty, presumably to pay for the nhs? he needs to find 20 billion from somewhere. borrowing has been cut by more than anticipated but at some point he will have to raise it somehow. i think he has been cute because he's trying to warn everyone, then he will rolling in november and say i'm keeping it the same because he would face mutiny. if the tories said everyone in a white van has to pay more, two p on fuel duty is £50 per year. but the money has to be found from somewhere for the nhs. if money has to be found from somewhere forthe nhs. if we money has to be found from somewhere for the nhs. if we have another winter health crisis it will be so serious and as he pointed out that government has foregone £46 million in revenue from the freeze. that was

a comparison between keeping it frozen or continuing with leaders duty escalation which he never would have done. this whole idea that if cut tax you create more economic activity perhaps is an argument for that. petrol is at a four year high, will he really out of that? thank you, that is it for the papers now. you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — 7 days a week. if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. we'll be back at 11:30 with another look at the front pages —

thank you, steve and jane. thank you for watching and goodbye for now. it was 25 degrees today in exeter and london. we have this band of cloud heading towards the uk and thatis cloud heading towards the uk and that is beginning now so we are seeing more widespread and persistent rain moving across northern ireland over the irish sea into wales and norman england which will sink down towards the midlands. a lot of cloud for england and wales. we have got fresher air coming our way on a westerly breeze, that comes in behind the weather front, that's bringing the cloud and rain overnight. as that move southwards the rain gets light and patchy, slowly pushing across southern counties. further north we

northern england. across wales and southern england it will be dry with sunshine at times with temperatures rising a little bit. we have weather front is mainly affecting the northern half of the uk for friday and even into saturday, this is where we will see thicker cloud. further south drier and brighter and a little bit warmer. this is bbc news. i'm rebecca jones. the headlines at 11:00: under attack over police pay and funding cuts. the government is criticised by britain's most senior police officer. i don't want the government to wait for the police to be struggling like the prison service, with chronic understaffing. saved by her husband, the wife of one of the westminster terror attack
