11:30 pm
‘ ow" ‘own mini war of the created their own mini war of the walls. now it is time for the weather with ben rich. hello there. the weather will not treat us all equally through the week ahead and that certainly was the case on tuesday. some places got a lot more sunshine than others. beautiful blue skies across western scotla nd beautiful blue skies across western scotland for this weather watcher but parts of scotland source in chilly and windy conditions. further south it was milder but pretty cloudy. some mist and murk and drizzle. and more of us are going to get into that sort of weather during wednesday. because this warm front is pushing its way north eastwards. behind that, a lot of cloud and a feed of warm, moist air from the atlantic. so generally most of us starting the day with grey skies. some misty, murky, damp conditions for western coast and hills. outbreaks of rain pushing across the north—west of scotland, although it will be less windy here than it was on tuesday, and perhapsjust will be less windy here than it was on tuesday, and perhaps just a little bit warm as well. further south, if the cloud breaks up when you get some sunshine, your temperatures could well lived up to 20 degrees. on thursday morning,
11:31 pm
with the speed of moist air from the south—west, we are likely to see some mist and fog patches towards the south. some of us could be quite dense, hopefully clearing as we go through the day, to give some spells of sunshine. up through the north—west, cloud and heavy rain heralding the arrival of a different type of weather, because this rain is associated with a cold front. and to the north of that, some colder air. to the south of it, we are likely to stay in the warmer and the humid airduring likely to stay in the warmer and the humid air during friday and look at the way this front just wriggles and snakes around. it is going to remain increased the marketplace right gci’oss increased the marketplace right across the british isles, acting as across the british isles, acting as a dividing line. to the south of it, mist and fog through the morning clearing to give spells of sunshine and some warmth as well. to the north of the front there will be some brightness but temperatures 11 oi’ some brightness but temperatures 11 or 12 degrees in the cooler air. those wriggles i talked about the weather front to come really important in our forecast for the weekend. the front is likely to wriggle a little bit more because it is going to be picked up by thejet
11:32 pm
stream. the powerful winds high up in the atmosphere which are expected to die of a long way south. and that will spin up this weather front and is likely to develop an area of low pressure. now, there is some uncertainty about exactly where this low pressure will develop, but it looks most likely that parts of england and wales will see some potentially heavy rain during saturday, whereas further north and west we will see some spells of sunshine, and across the border much cooler feel to the weather. there is uncertainty about just how cooler feel to the weather. there is uncertainty aboutjust how quickly this rain will clearfrom uncertainty aboutjust how quickly this rain will clear from the south—east during sunday. it might hang around for a time. but it looks most likely that we will see a brighter day on sunday with some spells of sunshine, before more rain pushes into the north—west. and that sets us up for next week. it is remember thejet sets us up for next week. it is remember the jet stream? the winds high up in the atmosphere? thejet likely to settle to the north—west of the uk, driving the frontal systems, the outbreaks of rain to the north—west of the uk. and that would mean high pressure could develop down towards the south—east,
11:33 pm
keeping south—eastern areas a little bit dry, potentially warmer at times as well. but there is a slightly less likely scenario from some computer models, which will push the high out into the near continent, allowing frontal systems to move a bit further south and east, taking rain with them. but at the moment it looks most likely that the wettest and the windiest weather will be found towards the north—west, whereas the south of the east will be drier and warmer. but the weather not treating us equally as we had through the next few days. hello. this is bbc news with rebecca jones. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines. former foreign secretary borisjohnson uses a fringe event at the conservative conference to criticise the prime minister's chequers plan, claiming it "cheats" the electorate. a new plan for immigration, the prime minister tells the bbc her post brexit rules will mean an end to the free movement of people from the eu. we will decide the basis on which
11:34 pm
people come to the uk. that hasn't been possible for many years. for people from the eu, that will change. the government in indonesia say it's a race against time to help survivors of friday's earthquake and tsunami. more than 1300 people are known to have died. four mothers, who all have children with special educational needs, go to the high court to challenge cuts to services being made by their local authority. and all couples in england and wales will be able to enter into a civil partnership, as the government agrees to change the law, following pressure from hetrosexual couples. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the author and columnist for the london evening standard,
11:35 pm
tony evans, and the author and journalist, yasmin alibhai—brown. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. ‘set a date for your departure‘, that's the demand from some cabinet ministers to theresa may according to the daily telegraph. the daily mail says daggers have been drawn as may continues to clash with her former foreign secretary, borisjohnson, over brexit. the metro offers a preview of the prime minister's conference speech which has been titled ‘the future is in our hands‘. the times follows suit and splashes with snippets from may's keynote speech, including her insistence that britain's best days are still to come. developments from the tory conference are on the front of the guardian, but the paper also features a warning over the long wait for aid following the natural disasters in indonesia. the ft reports on amazon's increase in wages for uk and us workers,
11:36 pm
which comes amid criticism of the online retail giant's employment practices. and the sun features a picture of a smiling duchess of cambridge as she returns to royal duties after a period of maternity leave. the royals on the front of the sun, but it is theresa may and boris johnson on most front pages today. no escaping from the tory party conference. starting with you, tony, an arresting headline on the front of the daily mail. this is in the wa ke of the daily mail. this is in the wake of borisjohnson's speech to the conservative conference today. the daily mail have fallen out of love with borisjohnson in a big way. they said the speech was deeply disloyal and profoundly unrealistic. the male has a good gauge of the temperature of middle england. —— the mail. this might be a backlash
11:37 pm
against his so—called lovable. —— loveableness. we have seen the empty halls, they are not like labour's grassroots. they are dying off. they queued for a halfjohnson to see him today, more than 1000 people crammed into the room to see him speak. —— four and a half. he does appeal to that section of the tory party. this is a party which keeps banging on about family values and duty to family and being consistent. this man has a personal life that should shock them. that is not really the point. tories of a certain age who have been looking down on, single mothers, this is one of the most feckless mps we have got! he was
11:38 pm
talking about brexit.|j feckless mps we have got! he was talking about brexit. i think the personal is the political. the speech actually shows his character, the way he uses cheap wines, the pound shop churchill, we will fight them on the beaches at. he is the man for them on the beaches at. he is the manfora them on the beaches at. he is the man for a moment. them on the beaches at. he is the manfora moment. he them on the beaches at. he is the man for a moment. he says i need to put lead in our collective pencils, really close back the innuendo there, it is like a 70s sitcom. —— really? let's move on, before we do, referencing the mail comment. tony, you mentioned it, but in his speech yesterday boris johnson you mentioned it, but in his speech yesterday borisjohnson claimed to speak with all humility, nobody should he fall for an instance, yet he delighted his audience at nobody can disagree with that. what he said was deeply disloyal and profoundly unrealistic. yes, and all of those
11:39 pm
words define borisjohnson unrealistic. yes, and all of those words define boris johnson and unrealistic. yes, and all of those words define borisjohnson and have defined him forever. what is really interesting, the last of this comment, this project fear. if they carry on like this and don't hack mrs may, god help us, half baked marxists and mr corbyn will come to power. it ends with this warning. there feel —— their fear ofjeremy corbyn is palpable. let's move on to the telegraph, who have moved on to the telegraph, who have moved on to the cabinet demands mrs may sets a date to quit. tony, do you think this will be her last conference speech as leader? it wouldn't surprise me if she limps on for quite awhile. two schools of thought in the cabinet, one is that she needs to go it as soon as the 29th of march next year around. and the
11:40 pm
country of march next year around. and the cou ntry leaves of march next year around. and the country leaves the european communities of the other, that she will stay on until somewhere closer to the next election, when they will have found someone, i quote, "new and fresh to lead the party". new and fresh to lead the party". new and fresh? there is very little new and fresh? there is very little new and nothing fresh about them. there isjacob rees mogg. more than boris, because boris is so flawed. i think jacob rees mogg is playing a very long game on this and he will be the one in merging, ithink. long game on this and he will be the one in merging, i think. we have written her off before, lots of people have. she is still fighting. whatever else you think about her, she is very resilient. yes, and i do think, when i think about her life, type i diabetes, she has got these wolves around her all the time, they have been around since john major, every tory leader. yes, she has resilience. maybe that will pull her through. but one of the things none
11:41 pm
of them are talking about, it is it is not up to borisjohnson, is not up is not up to borisjohnson, is not up to the tories. parliament has to decide and eventually the eu has to decide and eventually the eu has to decide what happens. it is as if this man thinks it is all up to him. what would be better is if all of these people who profess to love the country so much and talk about putting lead into the pencil, actually sit down with pencils and sketched out a way forward for the united kingdom, a post—brexit world. instead of doing that, they are all factional icing and fighting each other. labour isn't setting it out either, is it? they had a better conference, a much more integrated co nfe re nce conference, a much more integrated conference than i thought they would have a. the one point i think theresa may is very right to focus on is that boris never understood the department he was running. he is just a shame and a. is paid no
11:42 pm
attention to the border issue in northern ireland. —— showman. he said it doesn't matter, more or less. but again, no one has. i am going to ask you to set boris beside for a second, if you can. let's move on to the guardian because it is heard big set piece speech tomorrow, isn't it? guardian and various other papers have various snippets of this speech, we haven't been given the whole of it, according to the guardian, may appeal is to be st patrick's to hold offjohnson leadership bid. —— appeals to hold off. will be enough to neutralise some of the threats that she faces? —— will get. i did think it will be because i think she is a lightning rod for destructive —— dissatisfaction within the conservative party. what fascinated me about it she will be drawn into
11:43 pm
the many, not the few slogan, she will say that the conservatives is a party not for the few, not even the many, but for everybody willing to do their best. i think it shows you how much running scared tory party is of corbyn, that she is trying to use a is of corbyn, that she is trying to usea similar is of corbyn, that she is trying to use a similar sort of language. the reality is, people are willing to work hard and do their best, people all over this country are willing to work hard and do their best and they are not given any opportunity, have no aspiration, part of this is the way that the conservative party has traditionally operated. also, the conservative party is dominated by dealing with brexit, they other party in power. the bigger issue is austerity which has been inflicted on this country and has caused so much misery. when you think that austerity has gone unchallenged, that phrase, anyone is willing to work hard and do the best, these
11:44 pm
soui’ work hard and do the best, these sour taste. words without meaning. she has said this before, several times. she has had other things, the tory party should be the nasty party. vinci introduces a hostile atmosphere when she is in the home office. —— then she's. i think, she does seem to want to concentrate now on corbyn with the speeches. —— then she's. which is an effort to move away from brexit. —— then she. there are weaknesses in jeremy corbyn that she can exploit, it is a pity and i wish there weren't, but if she can swing it away from the blonde bombshell on to corbyn, maybe... you think that would be a good strategy? for the tories, i do wa nt good strategy? for the tories, i do want them to win. i appreciate that. i think that is that she is planning to do. we shall see tomorrow as she addresses the conference tomorrow. we will be hoping she doesn't have a top. this move onto other stories
11:45 pm
the ft. the —— amazon have raised the minimum wage of their work is both here and in the us. the chief executive has listened, according to the ft. i think that is probably the most insulting thing i have read and heard from someone who earns $6.1 billion in five trading days, which is what happened in 2018, every five working days, that he has listened? this is nothing, this is absolutely nothing, and these companies have all had tax cuts, and the tax cuts promised here too big companies. i find it so hard to understand. i am not antibusiness, how business doesn't have any social conscience. you can't make such a blanket generalisation, can you? but they
11:46 pm
don't, how can this man and this amount? how much money do you need in ten lifetimes? well, they are there to make money, but this article makes the point that so many people who are employed by amazon are also taking state benefits both here and the united kingdom, and thatis here and the united kingdom, and that is effectively subsidising their business, subsidising their profits. if you can't pay a wage that keeps people off benefit, then perhaps you shouldn't be operating a business. it is interesting that one a nalyst business. it is interesting that one analyst the financial times talked to says, in terms of financials, it doesn't move the needle all that much, which does seem to suggest that this rise is a drop in the ocean. what is it, £9.50 in the uk, £10.50 in london. so big is this men and women need to make money —— big businessmen. what about their workers, are they not human? do they not need to make money as well? this will not lift people out of poverty,
11:47 pm
thatis will not lift people out of poverty, that is for sure, and it will barely affect bezos's wealth. and that is a really toxic combination. and this is where the government should be working to hold people to account. instead, what we are looking forward to isa instead, what we are looking forward to is a future with even more deregulation, more tax cuts, and allowing business to run wild at the expense of individuals. one bit of good news from the tory party conference is that forced marriage victims are to get protection, after a times investigation. changes announced today by the home secretary, sajid javid. so if it is done honourably, ethically and he means what he says, i think this is a very important thing to happen. and i say that as an asian muslim woman who has been writing this for a long time. not because of any bad
11:48 pm
intent, but government after government has been reluctant to deal with the seriousness of forced marriages and the victims and the spouses marriages and the victims and the spouses that are brought over, some of whom are also victims. you know, both sides can be forced into these u nwa nted both sides can be forced into these unwanted marriages. and i think, because he himself is of pakistani muslim heritage, perhaps he can push this one through. it has been a long time coming. tony, what do you make of it? fahmy the key thing was that in past victims of forced marriages and abuse have had to make public statements. so the families have seen statements. so the families have seen them, and a lot of these forced marriages, the families are complicit so it caused great grief for the victims to go public and say no, i will not be doing this. this will allow them to be anonymous, thatis will allow them to be anonymous, that is a huge step forward. and as long as this is notjust another
11:49 pm
frankly racist way of keeping people out of the country, i think it is very good. let's move finally back to the telegraph, which has got a piece by a telegraph journalist. i think speaking more broadly, i would be interested to know what you make of the supreme court nominee for the us supreme court, presumably you a loaf a mac were both —— were both glued to the test me last week. this isa man glued to the test me last week. this is a man who exudes privilege and angen is a man who exudes privilege and anger, he is furious he has not got what he wants. it doesn't really get to the mechanics of the sinister
11:50 pm
brush with kavanaugh. i am interested in to see what it was, connected to the clinton investigation back in the 1990s, kavanaugh suppressing a new story. so the most important thing here is, you know, quite a lot of these allegations and accusations he has faced were about a time when he was young, and... well, he was a teenager. what is interesting here is that evans prichard claims he has been doing allegedly dubious stuff well into his adulthood, well into his career. it says it was about a wild accusation of privileges,
11:51 pm
implying irrational behaviour. we must leave it there, as you say, it is an arresting headline and we need to turn inside to find more about it. 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 is 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. a big thank you to my guests this evening, tony evans and yasmin alibhai—brown, and goodbye. hello, i'm sarah mulkerrins, with your sport on the bbc news channel. both manchester clubs were in action in the champions‘ league tonight. there was pressure on the united boss, jose mourinho, after a series of poor results.
11:52 pm
our sports editor dan roan was watching. having lost their opening champions league match, manchester city needed a fast start in germany tonight. what they got was anything but, often home taking a surprise lead within a minute. city‘s response was swift, sergio aguero as ever with the equaliser a few minutes later. against resolute opponents, however, the visitors had to wait a lot longerfor the winner the visitors had to wait a lot longer for the winner they craved, with full—time looming, silva‘s moment of opportunism proving decisive. silva has one of the manchester city! city's european campaign back on track. after their sluggish start to the season, manchester united even turned up late to old trafford tonight having got stuck in traffic. far from ideal preparation for a match that manager jose mourinho dare not lose. if the hosts were hoping for a response to recent poor results, this wasn‘t
11:53 pm
what they had in mind, marcus ratchford‘s shot as good as it got for united in a tepid first up performance. in the stands, some of those who helped the club savour glory in this competition looking on anxiously. valencia had endured a difficult season themselves, their best chance squandered. mourinho has not been afraid to criticise his players this season, not least world cup winner pogba. a chance to ease the tension after the restart as united tried desperately to break the deadlock, the old trafford faith fool some power trying to keep the faith -- fool some power trying to keep the faith —— faithful. with time running out, ratchford came close to a spectacular last gasp winner but valencia held on for the draw. with boos echoing around old trafford, appoint scant consolation for a united side whose dismal run of form shows little sign of ending. a surprise loss for title holders real madrid, nikola vlasic scoring for cska moscow in the second minute for that 1—0 win. in city‘s group, lyon drew 2—2
11:54 pm
with shakhtar donetsk. and paulo dybala hit three, asjuventus beat young boys in the other game in united‘s group. southampton are through to the fourth round of the league cup, after winning 11—3 on penalties against everton. they travel to leicester in the next round. leeds have gone back to the top of the championship following a 1—0 victory at hull. middlesbrough are second on goal difference after they beat ipswich 2—0 at portman road. mo besic scored the first at the second attempt, and it was two a few minutes later when stewart downing cut inside to double their lead. and i willjust draw your attention to aston villa‘s game against bottom side preston. villa were 2—0 up, before preston hit back to lead 3—2. a stoppage—time equaliser came for the hosts, and then more drama. glenn whelan missed a last—minute penalty for villa, which could have won it. the plan to hold both scottish league cup semi—finals
11:55 pm
at hampden on the same day is set to be changed, after the sfa waived their legal obligation to stage both at the national stadium. rangers are set to face aberdeen at noon, with celtic against hearts in the evening. the first match could now take place at murrayfield. police scotland had been against the double header, and also transport companies, who say they weren‘t consulted. there are five new call—ups for england‘s rugby league squad to face new zealand in a tri—series starting later this month. head coach wayne bennett has called up wakefield winger tom johnstone and centre reece lynn, while st helens prop luke thompson is also a new pick. the series begins against the kiwis in hull on 27 october. that‘s all the sport for now. time for your latest live weather update from bbc weather now, and a
11:56 pm
lot of mild and rather warm airfor the time of year, and humid air has become established across england and wales during the day to day. overnight and into tomorrow it is moving ireland and scotland. behind this weather front, a warm front, the leading edge with fine and warm air. dampen drizzly across western pa rt air. dampen drizzly across western part of the uk, so poor visibility in places as well. patchy mist and fog. temperatures at their lowest overnight in parts of scotland and eastern england. tomorrow there will bea eastern england. tomorrow there will be a lot of cloud around wherever you are. some breaks allowing some occasional sunny spells to come through, but still some patchy, light rain and drizzle more especially towards western coast and hills. western and northern scotland, the chance of seeing the more substantial burst of rain occasionally. quite a strong wind but nowhere near as windy as it has been today. as for those temperatures, above normal for the time of year, and they are much higherfor scotland time of year, and they are much higher for scotland and northern ireland, by a good few degrees
11:57 pm
compared with today. it does feel warm and humid. you will notice onto wednesday night and into thursday morning there are some breaks in the cloud around, but temperatures are not going to give away too far even where you are clear. it is a warm and humid air mass we have got, so for many a double figured start to thursday. the closer you are to this area of high pressure in southern parts of england and wales, some fog patches, dense in places, with not much wind and a moist air mass. shaking up the weather again in scotla nd shaking up the weather again in scotland and northern ireland on thursday at the cold front moves in, so some thursday at the cold front moves in, so some outbreaks of rain sinking southwards. we may see a bit ahead of that in parts of north—west england and north wales later. southern and eastern areas, where you get rid of some early fog, starting the season sunny spells, it is quite warm. this weather front thursday and friday, here is the picture. friday stall through middle sections of the uk. not that we are getting into the blue again, cool and fresher in scotland and northern ireland, but the further south you are in northern ireland and scotland, get close to this weather
11:58 pm
front, more especially northern england into wales. bigger range of temperatures here because it is quite warm to the south of our weather front. a few bright and sunny spells and the chance of early fog on friday. the weatherfront will clear away south over the weekend. it will take its time. still raining in parts of england and wales on saturday, still potentially for a time in south—east england on sunday. we will keep you updated on that, and once that clears away, brighter skies follow but it does turn much cooler. more, as ever, online. thanks tojoining thanks to joining us. thanks tojoining us. —— thanks to join —— thanks forjoining us. i‘m rico hizon in singapore. the headlines: pulled from the rubble after indonesia‘s earthquake. rescuers are in a race against time, with the death toll now 1300 and rising. police are struggling to keep control, as thousands grow increasingly desperate. here in palu, emotions are running high as survivors are still struggling to get hold of basic
