come and go. some patchy mist and fog could form across central and southern areas. a mild night with double figures pretty much across the country. we start tomorrow with high pressure in the driving seat gci’oss high pressure in the driving seat across england and wales. across the top of that height as weather front moves in and brings more persistent rain gradually through scotland as we go through the day. elsewhere, with that south—westerly flow, the risk of more cloud and murk along west facing close. the cloud should bin and as we go through the day. looking at the afternoon, that renders out of the great glen, gci’oss renders out of the great glen, across the spine of scotland into northern ireland. ahead of that we will see showery outbreaks of rain moving through the isle of man and into the lake district. for england and wales the cloud should break up into the afternoon and temperatures with some sunshine, again, like today should be into the high teens, maybe 20 degrees. cool to the far north. that weather front will gradually sink south, overnight thursday into friday. and pretty much split the country in two in
11:31 pm
terms of the feel of the weather. to the south at that front, the south—westerly flow and some sunshine, it will be quite warm and humid. there will be persistent rain across the north of england and then to the north of that front something a little bit cooler. 10— i2 to the north of that front something a little bit cooler. 10— 12 degrees at highest values. we could see 21 in the south—east corner. as we move out friday into the start of the weekend, it looks as though we will continue to see some wet weather slowly sinking south and east, perhaps not arriving in the london area until the end of the day on saturday and then behind somewhat brighter and drier conditions to follow for sunday. take care. hello. this is bbc news with ben brown. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment, first the headlines: an upbeat rallying call from the prime minister as she promises better days ahead for britain. the decade after the financial
11:32 pm
crash, people need to know that the austerity it led to is over and that their hard work has paid off. theresa may also called on her party to show unity over brexit. if we all go off in different directions in pursuit of our own visions of the perfect brexit, we risk ending up with no brexit at all. the coroner at the inquests into the westminster terror attack says it's possible pc keith palmer's death could have been prevented. pc palmer's widow says her husband was in a vulnerable location, with no protection and left to die. time's running out for survivors of the indonesian earthquake and tsunami as rescue teams struggle to reach remote areas that were hit. hello and welcome to our look ahead
11:33 pm
to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political correspondent for the evening standard, kate proctor, and the editor of politicshome, kevin schofield. welcome to you both. thank you very much for the windass. —— thank you very much for the with us. —— thank you very much for the with us. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in, and there's one picture that makes all of the front pages. let's take a look. dancing to a new beat is the telegraph's headline as the prime minister rebrands her brexit plans in her conservative conference speech. the mail says theresa may is back in the groove, dancing her way back to authority. and that picture makes the front of the independent as well. the financial times reports that theresa may's speech was laced with criticism of her leading eurosceptic critic borisjohnson. while the guardian picks up on the prime minister's suggestion of an end to austerity.
11:34 pm
get behind may is the daily express‘ message to its readers, but ‘strictly shambolic‘ is the mirror's reaction to mrs may's performance. and the times reports that some schools have had to introduce compulsory photo id for children sitting the 11 plus exam after a few parents sent older children to sit the test for their siblings. a flavour of the front pages. let's go through them in more detail. kevin, why don't you kick off? the mail have got mama maya, she danced her way back to authority with a speech that savic corbyn, put boris in this place and promised an end to austerity ash southern each. is that
11:35 pm
the way you saw it? —— savaged. quite a clever headline. they're obviously putting a very positive gloss on the speech. number 10 will be happy with how it went. better than last year, which was a disaster. she didn't lose her voice and the stage didn't collapse, so anything after that is a bonus. a confident performance. she didn't appear to be reading of the autocue, i don't know if that helped, she was old school reading it off a piece of paper —— reading it off the autocue. the content was pretty solid. i think she's had a decent conference. considering the pressure she was going into it, a lot of talk about the splits in the tory party being exposed, which they were up to a point. but given the pressure she
11:36 pm
was under and given the threat from borisjohnson... and was under and given the threat from boris johnson. .. and what was under and given the threat from borisjohnson... and what he has in saying in this bid speech on tuesday and that overshadowing things. how do you follow boris's speech —— big speech. how do you do it? with a bit ofa speech. how do you do it? with a bit of a dance. let's show you the dons moves to abba that she showed that dance moves. —— dance it all follows, kate, hertrip it all follows, kate, her trip to africa and she danced a couple of times, didn't she? it is kind of self—deprecating, people quite like people who poke fun at themselves. she danced on this trip to africa, it was a really cringed moment for all of us watching, then she did it again and she's done it for a third time —— cringe. we know she's got a
11:37 pm
good sense of humour, she is self—deprecating and she's able to have a little bit of light and humour, which i think, considering how difficult and torrid politics has been, especially for the conservative party, while they're trying to work out brexit, i think there's no harm in it. is it rebranding? in the election campaign she was criticised for being too robotic, strong and stable. the maybot. she has tried to put forward a positive vision. it was upbeat. i'm not going to say it was uplifting but for activists in the room, they certainly got a lot out of the speech today and maybe even see her in a new light. because of the division over borisjohnson, there are lots of backbench conservative mps who are really chuffed with how it went today. kevin, let's go with the telegraph, they've got the same dancing
11:38 pm
pictures but a focus on what she seemed to be saying, which is that austerity is over, or it will be in everyone's backs her version of brexit. that was the main news line without a doubt to come out of the speech. there were one or two policy announcements, which were reasonably significant, but a lot of these speeches, prime ministers attempt to throw the kitchen sink at it and make an announcement is pulling rabbits out of the hat left, right and centre but that's not what it was about. the one takeaway was the idea that the british public have put in the hard work in terms of recovering from the aftermath of the financial crash, now the opportunity and time has come for the government to repay them by ending austerity. there was precious little detail. makes a nice headline. 0nce there was precious little detail. makes a nice headline. once the spending review next year is finished we will see the figures and we canjudge finished we will see the figures and we can judge as to weather or not austerity has ended. we've been led to believe that certainly the
11:39 pm
chancellor's forecast in most region budgets have forecast and projected that austerity will go well into the next decade —— recent. it will be quite a handbrake turn.|j next decade —— recent. it will be quite a handbrake turn. i think she... perhaps it is something she is using really to push brexit through and the type of brexit she wants and the chequers deal that is so wants and the chequers deal that is so divisive amongst the party. it's like a carrot, if we get through her version of brexit, the chequers plan, asi version of brexit, the chequers plan, as i reward there's an end to austerity. we will lift off this avail and everything will be and rosie. really she was asking her backbenchers in a major way to back her because the good times are ahead —— this vale and everything will be sunny and rosie. that is the headline in the mail. ahead of this
11:40 pm
conference, going into ita there we re conference, going into ita there were questions about her leadership, as there have been for a long time —— going into it. borisjohnson satirising her by running through the wheat field and making a big speech. is she stronger at the end of this conference than going into it? it is all relative. she's been ona it? it is all relative. she's been on a pretty sticky wicket since the election that went wrong, then brexit negotiations haven't gone the way she might have hoped. this was seen as way she might have hoped. this was seen as another crunch moment for her. could she's survived the conference? —— could she's survived the conference —— could she survive the conference —— could she survive the conference? it's been relatively successful. are not going to say she is safe for the next 12 months and she will see them into the next general election, which is potentially four years away —— i'm
11:41 pm
not going to. but it went as well as you could have hoped. how much danger is she in, kate? boris johnson, is he plotting or biding his time? i was confused by his speech, thought he would fire the starting gun on a leadership bid. that didn't happen. this morning you had a backbench conservative mp who supports brexit saying he didn't have confidence in the prime minister to negotiate brexit and i thought that would be the start of a co—ordinated group of mps today, that they had lost confidence in the prime minister and they couldn't see the direction of travel but in the end it was the only mp. nothing had any momentum today. i don't feel like there's a co—ordinated plan around it. do you think boris johnson will launch a bid, if not today or this week, but maybe in the coming weeks or months?” today or this week, but maybe in the coming weeks or months? i feel like his speech at conference was the
11:42 pm
time to do it, sol his speech at conference was the time to do it, so i wonder if he has bottled it slightly. under tory party rules it has to be a vote of confidence in the prime minister, presuming she doesn't wake up one morning and decide to track it, which she isn't going to do. there needs to be a confidence vote, and if she wins that, which there's a good chance she would, they can't go after herfor good chance she would, they can't go after her for another 12 months good chance she would, they can't go after herfor another 12 months —— chuck it. i'm not sure if boris johnson has a strategy. he keeps showing a bit of leg to supporters but there doesn't seem to be the momentum behind him to sweep her out of power. the ft have a quite detailed analysis of this promise of ending austerity. as you would expect the ft to have done, they have crunched the numbers on whether the ending austerity pledge is possible. they point out one of the policies mentioned in the speech today, lifting the cap on borrowing for local councils to build more
11:43 pm
affordable homes and there's the suggestion that policy alone could add £1 billion a year to the deficit. which means the idea that you're able to move and end austerity is counterbalanced by these figures here. you've got a warning from the institute for government that it would be very difficult to end austerity without either raising taxes or relaxing the government commitment to eliminate borrowing. neither of those things are tory principles that i understand. let's move away from brexit and the conservative party conference and theresa may. the guardian also feature the inquest into the westminster bridge attack last year. the coroner really suggesting that actually more could have been done to stop the death, the murder of the police constable at the palace of westminster. which isa at the palace of westminster. which is a victory for pc palmer's family. they've always said more could have
11:44 pm
been done to save him and had armed police officers been closer to the incident, then the assailant could have been stopped and his life could have been stopped and his life could have been stopped and his life could have been saved. the metropolitan police have always said, no, that's not true. everything that could have been done was done, there is nothing more we could have done to save his life but the coroner seems to have come down on the side of the family, which is obviously good news for them. painful for them. which is obviously good news for them. painfulfor them. sadly nothing is going to bring back pc palmer, however they might get solace from the fact that... if the coronerjudgement is correct, they've proven to be right in terms of the police could have done more to protect him. both of you work at the palace of westminster, has security increased since that attack? the last attack, which was only last month i think, i know that iwas...| only last month i think, i know that iwas... i ran only last month i think, i know that i was... i ran out into the road to see what happened and it was odd about every door was shut behind me
11:45 pm
and the whole area was on lockdown within minutes —— you see armed police and you don't give them a second look. they are all tooled up. accepted part of life these days. 0 nto 0nto the express. a story about uk spies uncovering russian cyber attacks, all in the wake of the poisoning of sergei skripal and his daughter yulia in salisbury. today vladimir putin has been talking about sergei skripal and saying he was a scumbag and a traitor. which was a scumbag and a traitor. which was quite interesting. especially for people who think he was behind the poisoning. this is quite an alarming story in the express. it says bridge of spies have exposed
11:46 pm
more cyber attacks by the russian intelligence agency. these attacks have target of political parties, banks, sports institutions, the media. it shows this ever—growing threat from russia. it shows how much good work is done by our own services to try to thwart these attacks. vladimir putin today talking about sergei skripal in that way, itjust shows how there is no indication between the uk and russia on this attack that happened in salisbury. the two nations a seat in a completely different light. we will hear more of the same from russia. a complete dismissal of uk concerns. there is not a lot we can do about it. they are clearly very aggressive in different ways. you get the impression they are throwing huge resources at cyber weapons...
11:47 pm
it is called a digital arsenal here. we always appear to be playing catch up, we we always appear to be playing catch up, we are we always appear to be playing catch up, we are reacting to attacks, rather than maybe stopping them in the first place. and you wonder at a time when the ministry of defence, they are looking for more money, and they are looking for more money, and the budget always seems to be a bit ofan the budget always seems to be a bit of an easy target when it comes to public spending cuts, but russia does not seem to be holding back. it is busily the biggest external threat we are facing right now. the love story on the front page of the times. the headline is cheating pa rents times. the headline is cheating parents and older children to pass the ii parents and older children to pass the 11 plus for their siblings. pa rents a re the 11 plus for their siblings. parents are fraudulently securing grammar school places, it says, by getting older children to sit the 11 plus exam on behalf of their siblings. this is according to head teachers. what do you make of that?
11:48 pm
is quite shocking. it is quite shocking. i've never heard anything like it before. to get their children into the right school and a condition for places must be absolutely huge —— the competition. to have an 11—year—old go into a selective educational system requires a certain level of academic ability, so if you have had an older sibling sat —— setback test for you it will not bode well he once you get there. you might well struggle. and the example set for the kids by the parents! when our core cheating you can never go back to them and say you should not cheap. you may be cheap. they would feel under huge pressure “— cheap. they would feel under huge pressure —— cheat. they would feel under huge pressure to get their sibling in. kids as young as 11...
11:49 pm
having to show photo id to say who they are. the parent should know better. they should know right from wrong. as you say, this is an indication that parents almost too obsessed with getting their kids into what they see as the right schools. you said you were brought up schools. you said you were brought up in schools. you said you were brought upina schools. you said you were brought up in a grammar school and eight state school and the state is involved in one or another was huge. it really is that the town where i grew up. i went to be state school. idid not grew up. i went to be state school. i did not want to go to the grammar school. it completely divided children at age 11. this story, this example comes from kent. there have been big pushis comes from kent. there have been big push is to try to expand the number of grammar schools it has that. when
11:50 pm
you are seeing scenario is played out like this it is a really dark side of the selective system, which i find quite uncomfortable.” side of the selective system, which i find quite uncomfortable. i feel sorry for the kids. they cannot go to their parents and say i am not doing it. if you are 11 apparently to do it you do it. it is a pretty messy situation. an extraordinary situation. think you so much review into my‘s papers for us. that is it from 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. thank you, kate and kevin. goodbye. hello. we start with the champions league
