about 16 or 1? from around 13 to about 16 or 17 degrees further south. looking at the second half of the weekend, at the second half of the weekend, at the moment the forecast is for an area of high pressure to move in. however, this is something of an outlier in the forecast compared with a lot of the major computer models. what a lot of them do instead of this kind of scenario is we have quite a nasty area of low pressure running right the way gci’oss pressure running right the way across the uk. if that alternative scenario happens, sunday will turn out to be a wet and windy day, rather than this bit of rain across the south of the country. there could be some further changes in the forecast there. only the next week, what will generally happen is we should start to see reaching in the jet stream which will encourage an area of high pressure to perform —— ridging. where it eventually lines up, will determine exactly how warm it gets in the trend will be that we see increasingly dry weather, especially across southern parts of the uk. that said, some fairly wet and windy weather at times across the far north and west. that is your latest forecast, goodbye for now.
11:31 pm
hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first, the headlines. an official report says it should be made easier for highly skilled workers from abroad to the move to the uk after brexit. the eu's chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, has said european leaders are ready to offer the uk what he called "a new improved proposal" to avoid a hard border in ireland two servicemen overseeing an sas selection march in the brecon beacons, in which three reservists died, have been acquitted of negligence. china has hit back at the united states, announcing new tariffs on 60 billion dollars‘ worth of american imports —— in the escalating trade war between the two countries and it's in! substitute roberto firmino scores a dramatic stoppage—time winner as liverpool beat paris st—germain in a five—goal champions league thriller at anfield. hello and welcome to our look ahead
11:32 pm
to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political strategist jo tanner and chief political commentatorfor the independent, john rentoul. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. be proud of your council houses — that's the message from theresa may on the front of the telegraph, in a speech which it's claimed will signal a major shift in tory policy on social housing. meanwhile, the express has an exclusive interview with the prime minister who says her brexit plan delivers the freedoms that people voted for. the guardian reports on criticism from business leaders
11:33 pm
on the government's migration advisory committee report. the report proposes scrapping visas for lower—paid workers after britain leaves the eu. the inquests into the deaths in the westminster bridge terror attack features on the front of the metro — it reports that murdered pc keith palmer was failed by outdated security arrangements. the financial times leads on the continuing trade war between the us and china with china slapping new tariffs on sixty billion dollars of american goods. the times reports on a british study which has found that living in a polluted area can increase your risk of dementia by up to 40%. and the i says the bbc may have to revoke free tv licenses for the over—75s as the corporation faces increased competition. let's have a look inside their number of those. john, we will start with the independent, your paper.
11:34 pm
it's the immigration report story running all day. our line is the backlash against the ideal of stopping low—skilled immigration which is coming from a lot of businesses and public services which, the nhs and social care depend on. relatively low—paid workers from central europe. that is the problem. theresa may is quite pleased with this report because it strengthens her argument that we shouldn't have low—skilled workers coming in from the eu and we shouldn't discriminate but there are going to be problems. if this is the policy, it has to be negotiated. that's the point. it's got to be negotiated. there has always been a
11:35 pm
suggestion that it was the key area for negotiation. there have been widespread reports. iam for negotiation. there have been widespread reports. i am always sceptical of these suggestions. i'm sure things would have been dealt differently in the campaign but there has always been a suggestion that immigration is one of the factors that people voted. it's a big area for the political parties themselves, alone negotiations and theresa may is off to salzburg for a big meeting with the eu counterparts. and drop the target. it's a counterparts. and drop the target. it'sa campaign counterparts. and drop the target. it's a campaign in your paper. we campaigned against it. 100,000 a year which the government has never met. i mean, it's more than that for
11:36 pm
non—eu immigration and eu immigration which i think undermines public confidence in the government. the idea that it controls immigration is on top of the issue. the express has a theresa may exclusive. they do, they have a front—page highlighting an interview they've got with the prime minister. it's kind of like a good old—fashioned express special weather go to numerous pages devoted to their exclusive interview. i have to their exclusive interview. i have to say, and this is all very serious, and we are talking about brexit but i'm most concerned about the picture in here which shows the prime minister 's desk is that small but phones are on the windowsill. as she is talking and sitting in her position, the phones are actually on the windowsill. but this is the
11:37 pm
prime minister. don't understand how her desk can't be big enough. this stuff is very interesting. i'm sure the express didn't think we would focus on that. i'm sure there is more desk that we haven't seen. panorama on the bbc showed quite a small desk to the prime minister and then i've seen this. besides the furniture, john, what is thrown up in this for you? it's a good scoop for the express which is going up point phase. taken much more seriously. but theresa may being the
11:38 pm
cautious prime minister that she is does not say anything new or striking in this interview. she makes various bold statement saying that most people want brexit done and she feels the country has come together, which is quite optimistic. i've seen one of the other photographs, she is sitting at a table much bigger than her desk. she should move over to that because i'm worried she's a bit cramped in the corner. the glass topped table that replaced the soap is that without. that's enough furniture. the guardian, there is talk of how annoyed the other side of the brexit debate is playing out. with keir
11:39 pm
starmer. this is how it is playing out. the labour party is distinguished its position. it wants us distinguished its position. it wants us to be ina distinguished its position. it wants us to be in a customs union with the eu because that will make trade across the borders easier. but it took some persuading. to getjeremy corbyn to ship the party position. jeremy corbyn didn't want to be seen to be giving in. i don't know how stormy it was but that keir starmer was threatening to resign but he got his way. pushed to the brink, it says. there is a lot of work by heather stewart. we've managed to dip inside the guardian and there are two pages, an extensive report on what happened. she details some really interesting points. in particular this issue that it wasn't just about keir starmer try to get his point across, but it appears he
11:40 pm
was ambushed. it had obviously been discussed in advance. he found these papers had been distributed, getting out an ipad and reading from it. i think there is an underlying narrative about keir starmer not being at the table and to be honest, when you are a politician and it's your specialist area, it's the brief you've been given by the leader, the suggestion that there is an attempted coup to pull the rug from underneath it. how much does it highlights the dilemma that labour has announced this? that is something thatjeremy corbyn has done very successfully. over the
11:41 pm
next few months, there is crunch point. the labour party is going to have to take a view on what theresa may is able to come back from brussels with and with that emily thornberry, the shadow foreign secretary, say whatever it is, we will vote against it. the labour party position is not at all clear going into the final stretch. council houses and theresa may, this is in front of the telegraph. be proud of council houses. it is unusual because this speech is being given tomorrow by theresa may and briefed tonight. actually, we haven't heard a lot from the government on housing. this is a curious way that this piece has landed because i don't get the sense
11:42 pm
that it's exactly what the tories would have wanted. the government suggestion that they are obviously ultimately announcing 2 billion. —— £2 billion of social housing. it's been wrapped in this narrative about how politicians and society should stop looking down on those who live in council houses. the reality here is, that these homes have to be built and funded. we have to find space to them. actually, this is an attempt to suggest a domestic agenda. there is a whole raft of policy announcements which are required to party conference season. it is an odd time to have a piece like this, suggesting this is a reason it's been done because there is an attempt to shift attention away. but actually, some of the
11:43 pm
ha rd core away. but actually, some of the hardcore members of her party might not like the suggestion that people should be proud of living in council houses and should be going back to the opportunity narrative. the lady thatcher length. that mrs may was not trying to dial it lady thatcher's legacy. somebody rang up and said, you are trying to divert her legacy. i think that is verbatim the conversation. if you read the extracts of the speech which have been given to the press tonight, thatis been given to the press tonight, that is the striking thing to how different it is from the rhetoric of the thatcher era. obviously it is sensible that if you are going to build more social housing, you don't wa nt to build more social housing, you don't want to be ghetto type housing for poor people who never get out of it.
11:44 pm
but you want to build it up as a respectable alternative. it does sound very different from the conservative party in the past. let's go to the daily mail because this story appears in the times as well. 60,000 cases of dementia blamed on toxic air. it's an extraordinary story because it suggests that diesel fumes in particular, are possibly linked to dementia. i wasn't aware of that. the link isn't definite, but it's probable. and it does really underlined the huge mistake that governments and policymakers have made over the past decades, when we thought diesel cars were the green, environmentally friendly option.
11:45 pm
lots of people have gone and bought wood burners, and the suggestion is that those are not good. we are struggling to work out why there are so struggling to work out why there are so many struggling to work out why there are so many cases struggling to work out why there are so many cases of dementia. it really is something that was never talked about and suddenly seem to be, every family experiencing it. where does it come from, is it because people are getting older but a lot of people seem to be diagnosed at the bit earlier. i think there are lots of people wanting to cling on to an answer and this is significant. 850,000 currently has it, it is set to surge toi 850,000 currently has it, it is set to surge to 1 million x 2035 stop and it is a cruel disease, what it does to people and the effect on families. it can be devastating to people, so any moves towards finding
11:46 pm
what is causing it will be welcomed. i know you have both been watching bodyguard. —— bodyguard. i know you have both been watching bodyguard. -- bodyguard. joe has been watching it. we can talk about it in front ofjohn because he doesn't know anything about it. spoilers will be straight over my head. it has been this fantastic short series, only six parter, and the last episode on sunday when many of us will be off in liverpool for the labour party conference. we will have two work out how we can find a tv screen. it is a piece which shows the... it looks like a picture of one of the main characters, the police bodyguard, from footage not seen before, and the story is about how netflix have acquired the
11:47 pm
international rights, and what that will mean for the future of this programme. and despite having not watched it, john had an opinion. an interesting point about binge watching, and one of the things is waiting to see and no one wants to find the spoiler out, and if you watch it all in one, as you do on netflix, it changes the whole excitement about it. i quite like the way that everybody is talking about it, even though i haven't seen it, but it is part of the culture. you are not tempted? note, not really. you have time before sunday, you could binge watch it. the public should be consulted overflying taxes for the rich. an extraordinary story in the telegraph. this is science fiction through the ages. whenever people have imagined the future, it is always cities with
11:48 pm
flying cars. it is the jetsons. it is the jets and phenomena, that's right —— jetson phenomenon. is the jets and phenomena, that's right ——jetson phenomenon. if is the jets and phenomena, that's right —— jetson phenomenon. if you can imagine the sky dark with traffic, who would want that? so if iam going traffic, who would want that? so if i am going to be consulted...” traffic, who would want that? so if i am going to be consulted... i was going to say, if you are part of the public being consulted, it is fairly clear what you will say. public being consulted, it is fairly clear what you will saylj public being consulted, it is fairly clear what you will say. i am concerned already about parcels dropping out of the sky with deliveries, which are going to be done by drones, and the suggestion that all of this traffic on the floor is going to magically get up into the sky and not ruin our lives in some form, if there is a traffic jam, it will feel like an eclipse. it does state any accident has the potential to result in a decline in the industry. also this is a department for transport who have a tough time, they have a lot to do, however they have recommended that
11:49 pm
ministers should explore the level of public acceptance about flying taxis. sorry, iwould rather you concentrate on getting the trains to run, and then you can worry about this other stuff. i feel the public consultation has already begun. this could be very divisive. the mirror, stormy, and there is plenty to come, according to the daily mirror. we are waiting to see what will come next because stormy daniels who has talked extensively about her alleged affair with donald trump, the us president, has now... the next development in this saga is that the sex between the two of them may have been the least impressive sex she has ever had. we are now waiting with bated breath to see what donald trump is going to do, because we know he is rather interested in what
11:50 pm
people think of him, and he will struggle to not have to retaliate in some way. you will be relieved to know, john, we have run out of time before we can offer further thoughts. 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. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. good evening. i'm sarah mulkerrins. there was late drama in both champions league matches. spurs lost in some alarm but liverpool pulled
11:51 pm
off an incredible victory against psg. another spine tingling roar. would it be another special night? enfield hoped, and their heroes soon obliged. daniel sturridge's first champions league start for six yea rs. champions league start for six years. talk about an impact. psg boast the two priciest players in history, but both neymar and mbappe we re history, but both neymar and mbappe were wayward and psg all at sea. the converted penalty, liverpool in dreamland, but then a bolt from the blue. one back at the break. it was breathless stuff. the second half was no different. with ten minutes left, psg thought they had snatched a draw, as mbappe ruthlessly levelled it up. but deep in stoppage time the fairytale finished, as firmino fired liverpool to a 3—2 win. drama, glory, just your average
11:52 pm
and filled night. earlier, tottenham began their campaign at in some alarm, where they seem to be heading the three points —— inter milan. not his second. hardly busy to make pretty, but those were not bothered. they should have had more and how they will wish they had. with five minutes left, this folly gave inter milan the most spectacular of equalisers. suddenly tottenham were clinging on, and deep into injury time they can capitulated. spurs will be wondering quite how they lost the first night drama they could have done without. lost the first night drama they could have done withoutlj lost the first night drama they could have done without. i am happy with the performance, disappointed with the performance, disappointed with the performance, disappointed with the result. because i think winning ina with the result. because i think winning in a place like this and playing better and creating a lot of chancesin playing better and creating a lot of chances in the second half to kill the game, we didn't. and of course,
11:53 pm
1-0, the game, we didn't. and of course, 1—0, always the game is open. well, in the other game in group b, lionel messi scored a hat—trick in barcelona's 4—0 win at home against psv eindhoven. that brings him to 103 goals in the competition, more than psv, as an entire team over their champions league life. early days — barcelona top that group, with inter second on goal difference. a quick look at the full list of results. a good 2—1 away win for atletico madrid in group a at monaco. and in liverpool's group, red star belgrade, in their return to the competition after a 26—year absence held napoli to a goalless draw. full details of all the games on the bbc sport website. england cricketers ben stokes and alex hales have been charged with bringing the game into disrepute, in connection with an incident outside a nightclub last year.
11:54 pm
stokes was cleared of affray after a trial in august. the all—rounder missed the ashes tour in australia last winter and now, along with team—mate alex hales, who faced no criminal charges but was with stokes at the time, will face a disciplinary hearing in december. england have appointed a new defensive coach. new zealanderjohn mitchell will take over until after the world cup in japan next year. mitchell was part of sir clive woodward's coaching team between 1997 and 2000. he will leave his executive of rugby role at the south african super rugby side, the bulls, to join the england set up later this month. and that is all your sport for now. hello, good evening. if you arejust about to head off for bed, maybe wait a moment for this weather forecasts, because in some places this weather is looking pretty disruptive, perhaps even dangerous during the day tomorrow. the met office has issued an amber be prepared weather warning for the
11:55 pm
strength of the wind, especially across northern ireland and central and southern parts of scotland, and it is all because of storm ali. on the satellite picture, see this area of cloud and the way it has been developing. a bit more of a hawk, thatis developing. a bit more of a hawk, that is always a sign of a storm which means business. an area of low pressure is expected to deepen through the night. a lot of light lines at isobars showing up on the chart, turning very windy across northern ireland and scotland particular but blustery everywhere and we will see heavy rain spilling into northern ireland in south—west scotla nd into northern ireland in south—west scotland and into the central belt for tomorrow morning's rush—hour. so this is the area we are most concerned about, the area where we have the amber warning in force. when gusts is through tomorrow. up to 60, 70, 75, perhaps in one or two leases close to 80 miles per hour, in some spots. outbreaks of rain, some disruption and some damage. remember the trees are pretty much in full leaf. and even further south, it is a blustery start to the day. the winds will not this very quickly. mit is a little bit as we
11:56 pm
go through the afternoon. every rank and issues —— continues to push northwards out of northern ireland. ahead of the rain, some warmth to be had, some sunshine as well. up towards the north—west it will be pretty cool, particularly when you factor in the strength of the wind. it stays quite last three as we go through wednesday night. tomorrow night on into thursday morning, showers into the north—west, and then here is our next problem. some rain shows its hand across part of the south—west, wales, parts of the midlands, into east of england by the end of the night. and that is associated with this frontal system. low pressure still in charge as we get into thursday, but it is this front as we wriggle out into the atla ntic front as we wriggle out into the atlantic that will continue to have pulses of energy, pulses of moisture running along it. so the rain will come and go for a good part of the day, perhaps petering out fog while, and during thursday afternoon it looks like the rain will return with
11:57 pm
a vengeance, looks like the rain will return with a vengeance, especially for wales, the north midlands, north—west england, could see up to 100 millimetres of rain over some hills here. it could cause travel problems, perhaps some localised flooding. so some pretty unsettled weather through the next couple of days, and then as we head towards the weekend things look significantly cooler for all of us, and there will still be some outbreaks of rain at times. there are weather warnings in force. as i have already mentioned you can check all of those for yourself on the bbc weather website. but for now, from me, it is good night. i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines: the trade war between china and the us heats up. beijing retaliates to new american import taxes with another $60 billion of tariffs. all smiles and a toast for the summit of both koreas. the leaders of north and south continue their talks in pyongyang. i'm babita sharma in london. also in the programme: europe's amateur golf champion celia barquin arozamena is found dead on a golf course in iowa.
