around celsius. next week, this is around wednesday, thursday and friday, we start to see an ever increasing jetstrea m start to see an ever increasing jetstream spinning low pressure at the end. this is the hurricane fly mentioned earlier on in the forecast. —— hurricane unmentioned. and the remnants of this weather may be heading our way, for the time being, let's summarise. wettest and windiest next week in the north and west. the best of the weather, for sure, in the south. that's it from me. goodbye. hello. this is bbc news with me, rachel schofield. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines: western governments have accused russian spies of launching cyber attacks on institutions around the world. the dutch unmasked four men they say plotted to hack the international chemical weapons watchdog. russia has dismissed the claims as absurd. leading democrats have criticised an fbi report into us supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh, but republicans say they found "no hint of misconduct" and that he should be confirmed on saturday. the government has taken emergency

action after a disposal company failed to incinerate hundreds of tonnes of bodyparts and nhs medical waste. a spokeswoman said there is no risk to the public. for the first time under the modern slavery act, a drug dealer who trafficked children to sell heroin and crack cocaine has been jailed for m years. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the talkradio presenter, daisy mcandrew, and katy balls, who's a political correspondent at the spectator. thanks to you both. let's take a look at tomorrow's front pages. the guardian is one of many papers

leading with the russian spies accused by the west of involvement in a series of cyber—plots across the globe. the times follows suit, with the headline, "russia caught in the act," after a spy mission to hack the international chemical weapons watchdog was foiled. the daily telegraph describes the news as a "humiliation for putin" and says it represents an effort to dismantle the russian president's network of cyber hackers. the daily mail labels vladimir putin a "cyber gangster" after the agents were caught sitting in a car outside the headquarters of the chemical weapons watchdog. the daily express warns that the russian president has an army of 80,000 spies working to undermine the west. it's the same story for the metro, which goes with the headline "novichumps," detailing how the spies were caught trying to hack the salisbury novichok investigation. "carry on spying," declares the i, which says west's security services have exposed moscow's global campaign of cyber warfare. and the daily mirror leads on an investigation into how

hundreds of tonnes of medical waste, including body parts, were allowed to pile up by a health service contractor. so, there we are. one clear winner at iwi tensai among the headlines tonight. we will start with the metro mac, katy, novichumps, you've got to love it, the photos of the quys got to love it, the photos of the guys caught in the netherlands, they have their passport details and the sense that there was a blunder by these spies. yes, this is on basically every paper's front page, the metro mac when the best headline with novichumps, and it seems fitting because when you read the details of what they are accused of it does sound slightly comedic if you take away the fact that it was related to a poisoning in salisbury which left one person dead. and there is a cover—up after it and

there is a cover—up after it and there is a cover—up after it and there is the suggestion that when robert rock was tested, this group, this crack team were trying to thwart that —— novichok. there are reports of these gru agents, russian intelligence, found sitting in a hired citron c3 car outside 0pcw, in the car trying to crack in via the wi—fi and so forth. and when they we re wi—fi and so forth. and when they were found there was a suggestion that maybe this wasn't the most high programmed intelligence operation. for example one of them had a receipt from the spy headquarters from the airport which you might think you would get rid of. i think what is interesting about it is, a, if you are a professional spy, there are ways to be more subtle about these things. it does seem from the actual poisoning and onwards that russia doesn't really care if people notice they are doing things. i

don't think there was a big effort to hide it. it does seem to be a report of disinformation coming from russia, and of course they have denied this, and they denied why the russian agents were in salisbury in the first place, that it was an emergency cathedral tour that they had to go in for two days to see the spire. so what is interesting about the way it has evolved today is you will see it, there is an effort across the other countries, particularly european countries, to co—ordinate the response because they have obviously decided that at they have obviously decided that at the moment they are not tackling it successfully enough and i don't know if they are trying to embarrass russia but trying to make clear to the readers and the public that there is no doubt about what this country is doing. yes. i think that is absolutely right. carrying on with the colour coming out, which is not in the papers, it will come out on social media, there is an interview this evening that the dutch press have picked up on with the manager of the hotel where they

we re the manager of the hotel where they were actually arrested, so their car was parked in the marriott car park which is next to this chemical watchdog where they were trying to bug it, opposite the dutch prime minister's residents. so apparently the manager said it was at all like james bond. the police arrived and said where are the russians? that moment the russians came down in the lift and appeared and the police said, dust and a set 0k and walked out. they said there was no aston martin, there was nothing, it was all very disappointing —— and they just said ok and walked out. there is almost a deliberate attempt from the western allies to mock because it is one way to attack putin. rather like donald trump he hates to be embarrassed. and they are trying to, along with lots of other forms, more sanctions, retaliations, they are also trying to mock him in this war of words. there are lots of other things of course. the dutch prime minister, the british prime

minister, we have had them making joint statements, hints sanctions. but it all does come back to, yes, there is a war of words at a cyber war going there is a war of words at a cyber wargoing on, there is a war of words at a cyber war going on, there is an energy war going down which it all boils down to and as long as russia is providing, particularaustria, italy and germany with such a the proportion, up to a third of gas supplies, their energy suppliers, they know those countries are not going to impose sanctions on them because they can't afford to. going to impose sanctions on them because they can't afford tom going to impose sanctions on them because they can't afford to. it is interesting because the daily mail has shaming of putin because it is a question of whether he is shameable, the name and shame approach but at the name and shame approach but at the moment we have not seen anything more concrete than that and if he decides to ride it out and what changes? exactly and i think the fa ct changes? exactly and i think the fact that every time there as being an allegation along these lines russia has enjoyed making fun of the british for this through the russian embassy to do account and they make all these jokes ultimately about

very serious things that have happened. if you look at what novichok does, it is ashley very serious. i wonder if the aim, daisy talked about other european countries relying on russia, is to try to make the case that actually we have tojoin try to make the case that actually we have to join the dots. you can't on the one hand is a rush of —— russia is a hostile state and then doa russia is a hostile state and then do a deal on energy. lots of leaders including donald trump, across—the—board, other leaders, too, i wonder if this will make a change. donald trump has made the point very forcibly to angela merkel to say on the one hand you expect americans to pay the defence bills by contributing so much and on the other hand you are cosying up to russia. and he has a point on that. and the american anglo relationship

is interesting, now that boris johnson isn't in that position, because he did flip—flop badly on russia. 0n the one hand, he was calling, what is the harry potter character, he called putin dobby the home elf, and then on syria he described him as having ruthless clarity and was looking up to him, so clarity and was looking up to him, so he didn't have a sort of sensible direct approach to russia. he was going to visit russia and then was pretty much warned off by rex tillerson when he was still in position. it is quite impressive to say thatjeremy position. it is quite impressive to say that jeremy hunt position. it is quite impressive to say thatjeremy hunt is making, you know, looking like a better candidate than boris johnson. know, looking like a better candidate than borisjohnson. i wonder if he will be able to handle this issue more successfully. really interesting and as i say most papers have went with that with their lead but, daisy, stay with you, the daily mirror has a different story, we touched on it earlier, massive headline, the scandal of wadi parts

mountain, it is a gruesome image, it about? obviously the russian spy story is a classic fleet street story is a classic fleet street story —— story is a classic fleet street story — — body story is a classic fleet street story —— body parts mountain. . it isa story —— body parts mountain. . it is a news story that the papers are exposing and the telegraph has a very small piece. the mirror has gone big on it and they are right to gone big on it and they are right to go big on it because of leaked documents linked with a health journal that has then given it to some of the newspapers, which show that has been an ongoing crisis within 50 nhs trusts, who use a contractor to take away body parts and things from surgeries that have to be got rid of safely at a high temperature in incinerators and they are toxic substances. and this company that was contracted to do it has not done it successfully. it says that the incinerator is not available and they have been breaking down and so on and so forth. they are trying to flog off 750 tons of this to continental

europe and various other countries. the government, matt hancock, had to call an cobra top—level emergency meeting a few weeks ago, which we wouldn't know about if the newspapers, the health journal, didn't get hold of the story so it's a proper scandal that we deserve to know about and i think that this will rumble on and answers will be required. and there are or questions, why was this not brought up questions, why was this not brought up in parliament, and the opposition was not aware of it at all. yes, the shadow health secretary has attacked over it, so there's a transparency issue and the issue of outsourcing it, you know, red meat for the labour government, the future labour government, for the labour side to say, why are you not doing this, it something they wouldn't advocate. yes, take us on to the times, katy, tucked down at the bottom, but i think this will get bigger over the

next couple of days, possibly saturday, cava nagh cleared, president trump's nominee for the us supreme court, said to be confirmed we believe after the fbi enquiry today, starting to feel out. yes, brett kavanaugh, today, starting to feel out. yes, brett kava naugh, controversial candidate and public figure, president trump's nominee for the us supreme court, but there have been several sexual misconduct claims against him and has been a big issue about whether or not he can to get into the role. and we saw last week he did on the proviso that there would be an fbi investigation, there was a week for that, the fbi enquiry found no support apparently for those claims and so it looks like he is set to receive that appointment. but you're already seeing ugly scenes in the us today with mass protest, you've seen arrests, also some high—profile female celebrities have been arrested. so it does feel that whatever you think about the case, it feels like a low point in

american politics. and it's fascinating the way this report was given... basically 100 senators will have to vote on whether brett kavanaugh gets this vote, which we think will be on saturday. they can see the fbi report, top—secret, one paper copy... hidden in the basement. they have to take turns reading, ina basement. they have to take turns reading, in a basement at the capital. so they're not supposed to give any clues as to what's in it. but of course, the fact that the 49 democrats, because it is a knife edge vote, haven't come out and given massive hints that there is some smoking gun, some massive revelation, makes people think that the fbi report is basically clearing him of those sexual misconduct accusations, although they didn't interview any of the accusers, it doesn't seem, so it does seem quite weird. so the republicans can only afford one defector, one republican

not to vote for him, because pence will have the casting vote, so we still don't know, but we can assume that that vote probably will pass, but it might not. i think they were two or the republicans who were wavering and now seem republicans who were wavering and now seem to be back onside with their own team, as it were. i think we can look out for that one on saturday, but as he said, it has become a much bigger issue, and a north american editor, jon sopel, that the said that the real loser is the justice system. it could skew the justice system. it could skew the court for a very long time —— jon sopel said. in the telegraph, not their main story, because they have gone for novichok and the russian spy scandal, but donald tusk has been putting an offer the table about brexit. you can't go a day without talking about brexit. so

theresa may gave quite a strong speech, and now it is back to work and back to the negotiations and donald tusk has tweeted what is on the surface quite a positive tweet, saying that canada plus plus plus has always been on the table, and brussels has already, always been up for that. and that is what we called treating another country with respect. it was a bit of a dig at theresa may for saying that the eu hadn't treated the uk with respect. lots of people are saying, this is excellent, because what we want is canada plus plus plus, not the chequers deal. the problem is what donald tusk is offering as canada plus plus plus for great britain and not northern ireland. that means that northern ireland, which is supposed to be in the same customs territory as the republic of ireland, and avoid a hard water. that is completely unacceptable to

the dup, propping theresa may up, and it is also unacceptable to the prime minister, who won't want to annex part of the country away. and some brexiteers say the best way to do this is the pivot to a free trade negotiation with canada, but i don't think theresa may is willing to take that risk unless brussels suggests we will go there. what did you make of this, daisy? i completely agree, not only could theresa may not take the risk, she couldn't take the flak if she did that. you can't look as if she did that. you can't look as if you are going to offer one thing, knowing full well... obviously that is part of negotiations, but on the issue of the union, she has staked her name on it, and has been so definitive that the dup would go screaming up downing street if she did that one. so it looked like eve ryo ne did that one. so it looked like everyone was ready for a group hug

but it is a lot more complicated than that. on the ft, cut down alongside the spying —— tucked down, alongside the spying —— tucked down, a look at things to come in october. philip hammond's latest political problem, getting him to balance the books. theresa may will have had this warm glow after party conference, that all the insurmountable is, brexit, the economy, were painted rosy pink. that did get a great reaction, but the devil is in the detail with all of these things, whether it is brexit negotiations, whether it is looking at the cold, hard money or the small print. so the ft not surprisingly is doing date two, and saying the end is nigh. next year once we have our wonderful brexit deal, all the pain will start to pay off and austerity will end. the ft bringing us back to reality with a

bump saying philip hammond has a huge problem at the budget at the end of the month, following theresa may's tory conference pledge to end austerity. the promise will leave the treasury with a £35 billion per year hole in public finances by the end of their parliament, and a former treasury official is quoted here as saying that her words in this speech will have gone down very badly indeed at the treasury. you can see that the doorknocking on philip hammond's dole will start, but the money may not be there. philip hammond's dole will start, but the money may not be therem is safe to say that during that one of the speech we did not see philip hammond grinning. even though he is the glass half full man. it is a tricky one because even before we... it was mooted because the nhs pledge was so expensive, we already knew that philip hammond were struggling to find the money for that, to the point of having tory mps go to downing street and say to come up with some tax—raising ideas. there

are many reasons tories joined the party, but ultimately they are low tax people. and i think this is a problem. one of the things which was mooted was perhaps cancelling the fuel duty frees. we now know that the freeze will continue. so he has to find more money somehow and i think it will get very tricky for him, especially because i don't no if it is going to cover it. while we are feeling a bit depressed, let's find something which takes the pressure off us. and we don't need to worry about vitamin d. so there was advice a while ago that particularly for children and older people, that bone density, for kids' bones to grow, and avoiding osteoporosis, weaker bones, or breaking a hip if you have a fall, and so on, that vitamin d was the a nswer to and so on, that vitamin d was the answer to that, and if we put it in when there is less sunshine around, that we should all be doing this. a p pa re ntly

that we should all be doing this. apparently it doesn't make any difference. were you taking vitamin d, katie? i was difference. were you taking vitamin d, katie? iwas not, and i also avoid the sun. so we are none the wiser. if you are at risk of rickets, then apparently you should, but only then. 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, daisy mcandrew, and katy balls, and goodbye. good evening. here is your latest sports news. warrington are through to the super league grand final. the wolves beat saint helens 18—13, in a brilliant game. st helens, the standout side

of the season, once again going out at the semi—final stage. with the story, here is adam wild. warrington and st helens, the super league trophy is now within touching distance. time then to make their moves, and with high stakes and high passions, perhaps the only surprise was the first half without a try, only this danny richardson drop goal separating the sides. the second half, a different story. a moment's confusion, a fumble, luke douglas had the opening try. the second came within minutes, this time for warrington, jack used finding just enough space, this is a game of such tight margins. things would get even closer, tom lineham squeezing through the gap to help warrington backin through the gap to help warrington back in front. saints have been the best side in super league this year, much of that thanks to the boot of richardson. here he struck again, and again, to restore their

slenderest of leeds. still, warrington won't ready to end their year just yet, lineham warrington won't ready to end their yearjust yet, lineham somehow finding the strength to win it for the wolves. saints' season over, warrington's goes on to the very end. chelsea and arsenal all won their europa league matches tonight. but celtic went down to salzburg, while scottish rivals rangers came out winners. joe lynskey reports. before this season, rangers spent seven before this season, rangers spent seve n yea rs before this season, rangers spent seven yea rs away before this season, rangers spent seven years away from european competition, so try telling ibrox europa league has lost its edge. you can hear what it means when a goal goes in. that strike bought rangers rebel against —— level against vienna. with eight minutes ago, a chance on the spot for tavernier to win it. their manager, steven gerrard, has had his fair share of glory on european nights. now he shares in rangers' newfound love

them. the contrast is marked at sta mford them. the contrast is marked at stamford bridge. this isn't a competition chelsea want to be in. perhaps the champions from hungary sensed it. this man dominated this match for long periods and it took some elite pedigree to break the visitors down, alvaro morata's instinct proved the difference, and brought chelsea's relief. more than 2000 miles gets you from north london to back to, but in a europa league outpost, arsenal are plotting their home—grown stars. the stadium will stage format matches at euro 2020, perhaps a tournament in the sights of smith—rowe, the 18—year—old from croydon scoring his first arsenal goal. he was part of a performance too good for azerbaijan's champions, and the first arsenal goalfor azerbaijan's champions, and the first arsenal goal for this teenager made it worth the journey. already

celtic are trying to wrestle control of their season. by their standards, it has been a troubled start. they briefly looked set for a battling 1-0 briefly looked set for a battling i—o win in austria before red bull salzburg found new energy. james forrest was sent off for this and brendan rodgers was staring at a 3—1 defeat. celtic‘s european campaign started back in july, defeat. celtic‘s european campaign started back injuly, but covering the miles in any competition never gets any easier. james anderson and jos buttler have this evening been named england's test and one day players of the year respectively. anderson became test cricket's most successful fast bowler, as he passed glenn mcgrath‘s record with the final ball of the summer series against india. he has 564 wickets. buttler excelled again in the one day game, and regained his place in the test side. he is with the team in sri lanka, where they start their first warmup game in the morning. that is all the sport for you for now. see you later. hello there. we end the week with a

big temperature contrast across the country. much cooler, fresher conditions for scotland and northern ireland today, whereas further south, given some sunshine, it really will feel quite warm, and central areas will have cloud and rain. and that is because of this weather front, which will be on the boundary between the cooler air to the north and the warmer air to the south. so we will start friday off with some cloud, outbreaks of rain through central portions of the country. quite a chilly start for scotla nd country. quite a chilly start for scotland and northern ireland, temperatures in low single. very mild and the south pier, can the 14 degrees. now, through friday we will maintain this 3—way split in the weather front, maintain this 3—way split in the weatherfront, straddling central areas, bringing outbreaks of rain. dry and warm to the south and to the north, also dry. plenty of sunshine around, maybe just a few light showers across northern ireland and western scotland. more of a breeze there as well but glorious afternoon

in store. grey and wet through central portions of northern england into wales, but a lovely day for the midlands southwards, and with lighter winds it will feel more like summer, temperatures topping out around 22, maybe 23 degrees. underneath the cloud and the rain, 15 to 18 celsius. and to the north of it, much cooler. ten to 12 celsius. so that is how it is looking today. as we head on to the start of the weekend, this weather front peps up, all tied in with this area of low pressure which looks like it will bring england and wales some very like it will bring england and wales some very wet weather indeed. in fa ct, some very wet weather indeed. in fact, some places could turn out to bea fact, some places could turn out to be a washout as we head through the day. initially that rain heavy across northern and western areas in towards wales, slowly migrating towards wales, slowly migrating towards inside of england. very wet across the south coast there. meanwhile the rest of the country will have a glorious day, again with plenty of sunshine. barring the odd shower it will feel cooler and also

much drier. it will feel very chilly. that weather front should clear off into the near continent. a ridge of high pressure through sunday so many places should have a better day for the second half of the weekend, including the south—east of england. another weather system will bring increasingly wet and windy weather to scotland and northern ireland through the day. this rain could turn out to be heavy later on as well. glorious afternoon the england and wales, feeling a little bit warmer than saturday. welcome to newsday the bbc. i am sure in singapore. the headlines: —— sharanjit leyl. here in the city of palu, one week on from the earthquake, electricity is back up and things are moving again. us senators have the report into brett kavanaugh. key democrat said is incomplete. we have many

fears that this was a very limited process that would constrain the fbi from getting all the facts.
