system pressure. severe storm system hurting the peloponnese late saturday morning with torrential rain. the rain is going to continue. for others, the weather has been very quiet, most of us having a lot of sunshine through the day today. we have a cold front, a streak of cloud bringing rain to the far north of scotland. that continues to work so of scotland. that continues to work so thoughts and that of london to any area of high pressure across the south of the uk the front will continue to weaken. quite a bit of cloud across central portions of the uk but in the south with clear skies across east anglia, the temperature getting down to 2—3 in the coldest spots. in sunday's forecast, here is the weak cold front working across wales and central areas of england through sunday. behind the cold front the ear turns cooler, the temperature coming down a few degrees and staying gusty across parts. brisk north—westerly winds
10:31 pm
bringing a number of showers in two northern and western areas of scotla nd northern and western areas of scotland and probably a few developing around the irish coast to affect england and north wales. elsewhere across england and wales we start of cloudy with a bit of sunshine through the afternoon and in the south where we started off sunny, the quote tending to spread out across england and wales as they go on throughout the day. looking at the weather picture into monday, this ridge of high pressure ahead of the approaching weather front so for most of us a chilly start to the day on monday but there should be a fair bit of sunshine. through the afternoon the clouds will thicken and we stuck to see some rain into the western isles and the highlands and leading the northern isles as well. the temperature, 9—10 in the north, further south 15 with some sunshine. should not feel too bad and the ear feels cool but strengthen the sun. into the weekend, pretty cloudy with a bit of rain at times across the north and
10:32 pm
west. that is the latest weather, goodbye for now. hello, this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. powerful aftershocks have continued to hit the indonesian island of sulawesi, following an earthquake and tsunami which killed hundreds of people yesterday. rescuers say hundreds more have been injured and dozens are still missing theresa may arrives for the conservative conference in birmingham as the party apologises for a breach in security of the official conference app that revealed the contact details of senior politicians. a warning from the business secretary that a no deal brexit could jeopardise britain's status as a world leader in the car industry. facebook has reset tens of millions of accounts after discovering its worst ever security breach. it's not clear whether any profiles were misused or who was responsible. three men, including
10:33 pm
a police officer, have been seriously injured after they were attacked by two dogs in a garden in leeds. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejohn rentoul, chief political commentator at the independent and rachel cunliffe, comment and features editor for city am. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. as the conservatives gather in birmingham for their annual conference, the sunday times has the headline — ‘boris vs may — now it's war‘. the paper has an interview with borisjohnson where he sets out his manifesto for the party to win the next general election. the sunday telegraph leads on the data breach which has affected the conservatives‘
10:34 pm
conference app. the paper says the party faces a potential fine of up to £2 million. the sunday express says theresa may is planning to take onjeremy corbyn, by promising a housing and transport revolution. the observer reports that the government is to produce the first official guidelines on the maximum amount of time young people should spend on social media, amid concerns over mental health problems in children. the mail on sunday is launching a campaign to save parks, which it says are falling into disrepair or being sold off by cash—strapped councils. the independent on sunday has a photograph of patients evacuated from a hospital in indonesia following the earthquake and tsunami there. its front page article is a warning from theresa may's former deputy, damian green, to fellow conservatives to stop squabbling over brexit. well, no seven tries that on the eve
10:35 pm
of the conservative party conference, the papers are full of different factions fighting it out. let's kick off, rachael, with the sunday times, boris versus me, now it's war. i would have said that started while he was in her cabin and now it is definitely war. iris johnson all —— launching his alternative vision for the company —— country and for brexit. you might have thought he could do that while he was foreign secretary or indeed if he had a vision for the country for brexit that he might have actually stood to be leader in 2016 which he didn't do. but now he's got a virgin. now he's ready! and it is scrapping hs2 and building a bridge
10:36 pm
to ireland. that is an interesting one. because he did have a witch to fla n one. because he did have a witch to flan —— france one. one. because he did have a witch to flan -- france one. boris likes things that he can name after himself, or risk wykes, boris buses, boris bridges. he says he does much the chequers plan, he doesn't like the chequers plan, he doesn't like the idea of the uk collecting ta riffs the idea of the uk collecting tariffs for the eu and he says what is happening now, alas, is not what people were promised in 2016, which is oblique truth. nope, i read is that everything borisjohnson said. you think people are happy with how things are going at the moment? no, but to say there is only one interpretation of the 52% vote two years ago is plainly wrong. people voted for all sorts of reasons and there are all kinds of ways of leading the eu that would meet the requirements of that referendum. the sunday times has got to have a big
10:37 pm
front page. the thing i really object to is you've got boris first name versus theresa may as mac second name. that is completely unacceptable. it is boris versus theresa orjohnson versus me. boris is the only politician that get away with just a first name. theresa may has also done an interview, they are talking about her fighting back but she seems to be sticking to her plan. absolutely, and she is quite bright too. it is the only plan on which you could negotiate with the eu. boris 's idea, his so—called super canada thing sounds slick and delightful and he has done a four and a half thousand word article this week explaining it which had all it points in it. which would be
10:38 pm
all it points in it. which would be a much looser arrangement. yes, but it is something of the eu will not acce pt it is something of the eu will not accept that in effect he is arguing that we should leave without a deal. if he argued for that, me isa me is a bit land, her interview on the front page. there was a bit about charging more to foreign buyers. 0k, about charging more to foreign buyers. ok, that bland. then this idea of a nationwide festival of innovation and culture starting in january 2022 which is conveniently for months before the next election, let's would put country in a frenzy of patriot to go ash patriot —— spirit. it is interesting that her former deputy in your paper, john, damian green, telling the party to
10:39 pm
stop squabbling and warning tories they risk getting caught into number tell them. —— into numberten. they risk getting caught into number tell them. -- into number ten. the next general election will not be fought on brexit, that will have dealt with. they will still be arguing about it, in terms of the trade relationship. he is saying the party has to have something else to offer people and theresa may is starting to move in that direction because if the conservative party doesn't offer young people the chance of a home of their own at the next election, i think they are toast. he's not the first to say the party has to pull together but there is so much uncertainty and all we are seeing is a huge amount of as a shinning amongst so many senior figures. everyone -- every time the conservatives say they have to have a positive thing, we go back to brexit. people said the tories have
10:40 pm
to build more houses, they have a problem with young people, anyone under the age of a5, that they have to get serious with the nhs and social care, the environment. we know all of this and then the next thing, there is a big brexit story. it is interesting, this warning in particular from damian green, it is interesting, this warning in particularfrom damian green, waving corbyn into number ten, the labour party had quite a successful conference last week, managed to talk about quite a lot of important policies and initiatives beyond brexit. there will clearly be an argument about the sums and the figures on how much it will cost and what will happen to the economy but that could prove pretty appealing at the moment. what is interesting about damian green is that is that of doing what considered is my be expected to do saying it is terrible, he is saying look out fellow conservatives this stuff is
10:41 pm
popular people want radical solutions like jeremy corbyn and his authenticity so we've got to have some serious answers to that is that just dismissing it all. that was what reason may permit to do when she first became prime minister. about making sure that businesses was fairand all of about making sure that businesses was fair and all of that, there were some very labour language in all of that. and then it just some very labour language in all of that. and then itjust disappeared. there seems to be quite a week argument within the party now about how to counter that with some arguing that the conservatives have got to be much bolder in setting out a free market low tax agenda and others saying we should be doing more to help housing and move more onto labour's territory. the splits in the conservative party along the brexit lines are along those lines, too, the ones who want a more sort of not corbyn night but want to more for that and the ones who are
10:42 pm
pushing for the free—market in generally. everything comes down to the spit in the party, they are not united around theresa may, even the ones supporting her are supporting her in the absence of someone else and while jeremy corbyn her in the absence of someone else and whilejeremy corbyn is every contentious, he somehow has managed, at least in the last conference, or whispers of dissent were pushed to one side, and they are least have a display of unity at the moment which the conservatives don't. it is interesting, damian green coming out, he was one of the cabinet ministers who was genuinely close to an supportive of the prime minister. you do sense now that she really lacks any real allies, with an awful lot of those people sitting around the cabinet table actually scheming for their nextjobs. the cabinet table actually scheming for their next jobs. i was very struck by david liddington who took over many of damian green. mac functions as the prime minister's
10:43 pm
deputy, chairing committees, and he wasn't even prepared to say that theresa may would fight the next election, he said she's promise of the moment. the telegraph has on its front page, tori furia as party faces a huge fine. data which, we have been reporting that this evening. this is absolutely outrageous. this is a conference at that has the details of all the politicians and a lot of the attendees who are going to conference tomorrow and it seemed like you could log in without a password just by having an e—mail address and their phone number and from their phone number, you can track where they are. this is a data breach on a monumental scale. they face a five up £2 million for this. but forget the fine, look at the optics of this. this is the party in power, one of their policies is we
10:44 pm
will fix the irish border problem with technology and they can't even get a conference at. you can't make it up. i couldn't believe it, i was working in the office when this only broke this afternoon. it is almost impossible to believe that they could be so incompetent. and momentum veterans gave put 0ut could be so incompetent. and momentum veterans gave put out a statement offering, i think not entirely with the best interests of the conservative party at its heart motivates with got people to make an app forapp motivates with got people to make an app for app stroke ask, d1 suggestions? facebook can't even control its data, it would seem. it suffered a huge hacking attack. control its data, it would seem. it suffered a huge hacking attackm affects every other site you log into, using facebook, potentially, and a lot of those have financial information. i'm wondering whether
10:45 pm
my details... i think all of us are heading to this conference and wondering whether our own details have already been hacked by anyone who found their way into the app. there is a line in this that i love, brandon lewis, the tories chairman, had been due to show the app as evidence of how he has been successful in modernising the party. the way that it makes them look, and the fact that it is the telegraph running it on its front page, a pro—conservative vapour, we are talking about this, not the policies launched because it has been such a disaster for them. and they still have to make this a conference that ru ns have to make this a conference that runs smoothly and efficiently after last year when theresa may had that utterly disastrous speech, you have to have a certain amount of sympathy for the qoph but then there was the
10:46 pm
protester hounding out the people do five. the letters falling off the wall behind her. you couldn't be there and not see it as some kind of metaphor. an absolute gift to the people doing metaphors. the only thing you can say in their defence is they seem to have shut it down quite quickly, and made it secure. but it isjust excruciatingly embarrassing. and i am sure huge amount of thought has gone in the conservative arty into how they can possibly get through the week while keeping the dissent at least at manageable levels and then suddenly this kind of problem crops up from left field. isn't rhys jones and planning events specifically to upstage the prime minister? he is having a big rally on tuesday which will definitely upstage the prime minister but i feel that boris johnson has overplayed his hand slightly. i'm not sure that there is
10:47 pm
as much support for him in the conservative party as he imagines. you are not blaming him for the app sabotage? no, i'm not, but there are polls suggesting that... we were talking about social media data problems in the observer, they picked up on this tory‘s demand to curb social media in children. the digital secretary has lost his own app. this is quite a serious issue but children, especially young people, are spending too much time on social media. the idea of this is that the government will put out
10:48 pm
guidelines for what is a self —— safe or healthy amount. used in the same way as alcohol guidelines. would we all stick to. that does beg the question. for years, my parents didn't set guidelines or i ignored them and i always thought that i turned out fine but now we are talking about children as young as five or six who are on these very, very addictive social media platforms. and when i worked in a boarding school, we had to lock the kids' bones and i packed up at night otherwise they wouldn't sleep, and thatis otherwise they wouldn't sleep, and that is something, at night time, taking the devices away is a good idea. you do question whether this is an issue on which you want the government to be setting the boundaries because it goes back to what we were discussing, as to whether the government should be this free market of —— hands off
10:49 pm
smaller government party or whether it is right to go along with new bands on energy drinks and so on. the government cannot legislate for what happens in peoples private homes. it is going to be impossible for the other meant to dictate how much social media children should be allowed at his lead there was no harm in setting out some sensible guidelines for parents who perhaps don't know what to do or what is appropriate. and i think matt hancox has made quite a good start as home secretary. —— has made quite a good start as home secretary. — — health has made quite a good start as home secretary. —— health secretary, sorry. he seems to understand what people are concerned about and wants to talk about it and i think that is a good thing. it is a big issue, as you say. it is a difficult line because there is a growing body of evidence about the effects on mental
10:50 pm
health that too much use, the deeply amongst young children, can have. health that too much use, the deeply amongst young children, can havelj think age is really important. there was a huge difference between using it between the ages of five to ten to 15. i think the platforms matter. one thing we are realising more and more and more is that these apps and websites are designed the civic league to be addictive and if we note that children don't have very good impulse control and discipline is something you learn over time as you are growing up and that these are devices that are designed to exploit that. we are dealing with something that as a society we have had to before and i read the government has no role in legislating for this but in research and offering advice and guidance maybe there is a role there. we have seen some maybe there is a role there. we have seen some schools already banning mobile phones during the school day thomas saying that pupils which we
10:51 pm
have to hand in their mobile phones. yes, but it is difficult, because schools also want children to be it literate, and be able to use the internet intelligently and use the internet intelligently and use the internet for lessons so children often have access to computers and tablets and phones in schools so it is very difficult to set hard and fa st is very difficult to set hard and fast rules. i do worry slightly that this is another moral panic like worrying about children having televisions in their bedrooms and that kind of thing. was that ever a thing? ira member that that kind of thing. was that ever a thing? ira memberthat being a worry, thing? ira memberthat being a worry, “— thing? ira memberthat being a worry, —— i rememberthat being a worry. now i think we like it when children watch television, get them off facebook. perhaps they should be out in the park a bit more. the sunday mail has launched its
10:52 pm
campaign to save our parks. they say thousands of parks are falling into disrepair or being sold off by cash—strapped councils. interesting that the mail seems to have ignored the furore around the conservative party conference and gone off on its own personal campaign. it's bizarre, the conference is on the page at all, it is like they are putting their hands over their ears. perhaps they are deliberately deciding that readers have had enough of brexit and they are more concerned about their kids having somewhere to play. it isa their kids having somewhere to play. it is a sad story, parks are being not maintained or bits of them are being sold off to developers and they are blaming councils for this but councils, we know, have very little money, and they are facing social care costs and the costs are rising and the money isn't and if they are making extra made this way
10:53 pm
you can see why they are doing it by —— but ourgreen you can see why they are doing it by —— but our green spaces are disappearing, and they are launching this campaign. they have had successful campaigns in the past. they were big in the nt plastics campaign so they do have influence. i think it is mad, today of all days. at a time when we are trying to work out the politics of the mail on sunday. as newspapers, they have had distinct political stances in the past. the mail on sunday used to support the sdp long ago. the daily mail has obviously become less intensely brexiting since paul dacre. .. yes, they had a very staunchly eurosceptic editor, paul dacre, who was seen as hugely influential throughout the whole eu referendum campaign, and it does
10:54 pm
appearas referendum campaign, and it does appear as though the mail as a whole is now adopting an hour —— a differently standpoint, becoming more supportive of the prime minister. and the mail on sunday has decided not to do politics at all so we can't discern the politics of the new editor. there is nothing controversial about parks. nobody is going to read this and say, no, let's concrete it all over. going to read this and say, no, let's concrete it all overlj going to read this and say, no, let's concrete it all over. i mean, i would say that this is quite a good out of london's dory. as a londoner, the one thing that i do know is that our parks within. and they are generally very well looked after and they are generally very well looked afterand in they are generally very well looked after and in good shape, they are generally very well looked afterand in good shape, and they are generally very well looked after and in good shape, and that is one of the great things about london, that it does have magnificent parks. but i suspect outside london, it is a very different story. yes, but nobody is going to start concreting over hyde
10:55 pm
park because there would be a huge outcry but there is not the same amount of protection for others, the mail is out there battling for them. that's it for the papers this hour. john rentoul and rachel cunliffe will be back at 11.30pm for another look at the papers. next on bbc news, it is the weather with chris. our weather has been very quiet today but the same cannot be said in the mediterranean where we have had an intense area of low pressure and red weather warning over much of greece as the storm system hits. there has been severe flooding already and the rain will continue through the night, so a developing weather story. the weather has been quite for most of us. a lot of sunshine through the day—to—day. we have a cold front, this treat of
10:56 pm
cloud ringing rain to the far north of scotland, that works southwards and as it runs into an area of high pressure in the south of the uk, the front will weaken into a lump of cloud. quite a bit of cloud across central portions of the uk but in the south and across east anglia, temperatures down to two or three celsius in the coldest spots in the country. on sunday, a cold weak front, working through sunday. behind the cold front, the air turns cooler, it was day gusty across western parts of the country as well. the brisk northwesterly winds will bring showers into north and western areas of scotland, a few will develop around the irish sea coast as we head through sunday afternoon. elsewhere, we start of cloudy and then there is sunshine and in the south where it's sunny,
10:57 pm
the cloud will develop. the cloud will spread out across england and wales as we go throughout the day. into monday, with got a ridge of high pressure and for most of us it will be a chilly start the day again on monday but it should be sunny. as we go through the afternoon, the cloud will thicken, the winds will freshen and rain will get into the western isles, the highlands and the northern isles as well. temperatures about nine or 10 degrees in the north, further south, 50 degrees with some sunshine. the air feels cool but there is still strength in the wind. often it will be pretty cloudy in the week ahead, rain across the north and west of the country. the eye. —— goodbye. this is bbc news, i'm carole walker.
10:58 pm
the headlines at 11:00: the indonesian vice—president, jusuf kalla, suggests the number of people killed by yesterday's earthquake and tsunami on the island of sulawesi could rise to thousands. theresa may arrives for the conservative conference in birmingham as the party apologises for a breach in security of the official conference app that revealed the contact details of senior politicians. president trump supports the supreme court's decision to nominate brett cavenagh, saying he expects things to turn out very well. —— breet kavanaugh. commentator: unbelievable! and europe extend their lead over the united states at the ryder cup in paris. and at 11:30 we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers, with our reviewers rachel cunliffe from city am and the independent‘s john rentoul. stay with us for that.
