the uk, western scotland could see 100 million litres of rainfall over the next couple of days. that could cause some minor flooding. the next couple of days. that could cause some minorflooding. as the next couple of days. that could cause some minor flooding. as this weather front comes in at the same direction. it will move its way back northwards, with some rain in northern ireland and northern england and north wales. the further south, it will be a dry day. we're back to the dry conditions in the south, temperatures into the upper teens. everyone should see temperatures around the low to mid teens at the worst. into tuesday, strong winds and heavy rain. this is across the northern half of the country and winds will be lighter further south. another fine day after a cool start to tuesday. the breeze will shift the mist and fog patches. the rain is persistent around western scotland, not a great few days, but still some weather to come in northern ireland. by the time it gets to wednesday, there is warmer weather moving from the

south. more southerly airflow across the country, and the warm air will be with us all. wednesday will be vastly improved day for scotland and northern ireland. things will turn drier and brighter, but we will start the day with fog across the south. by the time you're coming home, blue skies will be clear in the evening. we will stick with the airflow into thursday, the low pressure is out to us, but we could see a few showers in the north and east. a few more cloud compared to wednesday. some of the warmest ever could be across the north of wales and around the moray firth, seeing temperatures lea pt up and around the moray firth, seeing temperatures leapt up here into the low 20s. for the most, temperatures above where they should be for this time of year. the jet stream has got this big weaving pattern which it continues to have read into next weekend and beyond. in doing so, it

looks like we will see conditions continue to be on the milder side for many. it will be dry in the south and east but always the chance of some low pressure systems getting the north and west where we could see some rain. there is less of a chance that the effect of that hurricane, because of the flatter wave of this. the weather will become much more changeable. hello. this is bbc news with sophie long. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. united states senators approve president trump's supreme court nomination, despite protests over allegations of sexual assault against him. toxic air pollution is much worse in eight areas of england than previously thought, a government review reveals. one week after the indonesian earthquake and tsunami, officials say more than 1,000 people could still be missing beneath the rubble. ray galton — one half of the writing

duo behind hancock's half hour and steptoe and son — has died at the age of 88. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will bring us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster john stapleton, and the associate editor of the times — anne ashworth. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the observer carries a letter from the prime minister calling on labour voters to give the conservatives a chance at the next election. the mail on sunday reports the army is offering recruits thrown out for taking drugs £10,000 to come back at the same rank. the sunday telegraph says brexit supporting conservative mps

would support eu officials being stationed at uk ports if it helped unlock a brexit deal. the sunday times reports that the uk security services have war—gamed a cyber attack on moscow. so, a varied set of front pages there — let's take a look at some of the stories in more detail. we are going to start with the huffington post. the story we have been talking about throughout the evening, it has happened. been talking about throughout the evening, it has happenedm been talking about throughout the evening, it has happened. it is a story that will run and run, brett kavanaugh, trump's story that will run and run, brett kava naugh, trump's twigs story that will run and run, brett kavanaugh, trump's twigs as the new man at the supreme court, which is an extraordinarily important institution in america. it really makes social policy with the 350 million americans. it is more than being a judge, it is a lawmaker, a

person who decides the way society will almost be run in america. after huge problems, he has been won his seat. the repercussions are extraordinary for the mid—term elections that are looming in america. also, for the divisions in american society. it seems as if the protests that arose over his nomination seem to have almost galvanised the republicans into a new pride in their party. the sexual allegations made against him have indeed created a feeling among white, middle—class men that they are the new upper—class full stop this story has so many elements which speak to us about society and the things we are concerned about, but also the rise of top thumping populism, because that is what is in

his place will stop it is the first time in decades that supreme court has had a right wing. the ramification of this for america and for the rest of the world are quite significant, because they are the ultimate arbiter of things like immigration, abortion, for example. they now have a right wing... this isa they now have a right wing... this is a job for life, this guy is there for life. before we move on to the midterms, this is a hugely important appointment, giving a conservative majority. he is 53 years old and it isa majority. he is 53 years old and it is a job for life, this is long after donald trump would leave office. trump has been trying to do this for a long time now, it has beena this for a long time now, it has been a good week for trump, the unemployment figures were the lowest in years, he has now got his way with the supreme court. mid—term elections are nearly upon us and... five weeks away, and eternity in us

politics. it is indeed. it will be interesting... look at the protesters outside the senate over the last few days, will limit across america arise from both sides to vote against the republicans because of what has happened in the last couple of weeks? i have my doubts, because at the end of the day, america seems to support company matter what he says or does, i don't know if this or have any impact. matter what he says or does, i don't know if this or have any impactlj don't know if this or have any impact.” don't think it will be that simple in terms of gender division, we have heard lots of republican women who actually really back him. theyjust think, every single silly thing in their minds, silly thing that my sun gets up to, if he is drunken at university or a party, will this stop his advancement in the world? the way we thought this would play out is the metoo moment in the

american government. it would have undermined lots of people's faith in the system. whatever the elements, doctor ford or coven, at the end of the day, in my opinion —— orjudge kavanaugh, this was not best served. for example, the fbi investigation lasted three days, something this long to investigate happen —— three days to invest get something that happened so many years ago. tomography would have been better if the fbi investigation had been more thorough. some people would argue it is not a court case, it is about discretion and people have not been appointed to lesser jobs discretion and people have not been appointed to lesserjobs for lesser allegations. it is not a court case, is it? it is not about beyond reasonable doubt or proof? where it happened, when it happened... you wouldn't pursue a criminal case in

that case, but it wasn't a criminal case. this is a democratic process, but it wasn't so. his demeanour was so but it wasn't so. his demeanour was so troubling, he didn't seem to be the cam man that we would want in that role, whatever his politics were, because he... he did not seem to have the temperament and he described the whole action against him as having a political cover and, as the little tens —— the clintons getting their way. it is not on the front page of the observer. do you think people... i'm not quite sure how interested people are, but i would say that if you are to ask the average present in the street in britain, they would know the rough details. because it is... we are vastly interested in trump and i think people would see this as another way in which he doesn't overturn an american institution, he

su btly overturn an american institution, he subtly undermines them. he has undermined the fbi in all this. those with evidence and original testimony, we will not forget that. let's move on to the observer. john, talk us through this. made bids for the centre ground, theresa may is writing an article for the observer, a left—leaning paper as we all know. she says, we have probably been deserved, upset, angry at what has happened to get two bits of anti—semitism in the labour party. why not give us a try? our policy is not driven by bigotry, not driven by idealism. it is driven by the values that everyone respects. so, come on board, we will build more houses, forgetting that margaret thatcher flogs off many houses. labour have

not been successful in this. she says they are going to build more houses, we are the centre ground, come and join us and cold water has been poured on it, being said that it isa been poured on it, being said that it is a tactic trying to achieve two things. they seem to be trying to push labour further from the mainstream. theoretically, that is possible. she is seizing her moment, we thought that a month ago, there might bea thought that a month ago, there might be a centrist party. she thinks it is maybe not arriving, now she is even borrowing the language of labour, colin the conservatives the party for the many. this is following on in that speech that went so much better than everyone thought it would do at the conservative party conference.” wonder if she thinks an election may be on the horizon. why is she so desperate to appeal to labour voters at this stage? labour voters say

thatis at this stage? labour voters say that is what they want rather than a second referendum. maybe she thinks an election is in the running. the tories have finally got it that housing is at the top of the political agenda and i appreciate this will stop removing that cap on council borrowing that should enable councils to build more social housing was quite a clever move. councils to build more social housing was quite a clever movem that they use it for. and if it ever happens. given the protests. housing is at the top of the agenda and are right about this in the times a lot. this whole generation that has been... she sees as being her natural voters, the young professionals who want support, they might have voted conservative and now, their allegiances are with labour and she is winning them back. let's look at the front page of the observer... we

are keen to talk about brexit a little bit, we don't talk about it enough! rock and roll hits brexit. the classical, musical spectrum. they are saying... big names and saluted composers are saying, come on, if we have a hard brexit, we are in danger of building a self built culturaljail for britain's artistic movement. they are saying it creates an extra added {4.4 billion every year. many people have signed up... they say they are really scared about what might happen to britain's culture and their own professions and lives. if we have a hard brexit. many people or some people will say, why are they wrote about budget pop stars

stop i say, good on them. they seem to want a second referendum, which is quite interesting. to be the support for thatis interesting. to be the support for that is growing? i wonder if people are beginning to think it is more possible than it was.” are beginning to think it is more possible than it was. i think it is growing, a lot of people are coming round to the view that the way they voted, they weren't fully aware of the facts, they didn't know how long it would take, how much it would cost, and now they think a second referendum would be fair. it is like a trade union going out to negotiate a trade union going out to negotiate a deal for their members and when they finally negotiated a deal, they go back to the members and ask them what they think. people are feeling more positive today. we've been there before! a deal isjust around there before! a deal isjust around the corner, and then we have the front page of the sunday telegraph, brexiteers offering olive branch reports. this seems to suggest that the

european research group led by the pro—brexit bit of the conservative party, say that in order to get the looser, canada style deal, rather than chequers, they would be happy if there was an eu official at uk airports, too insular that there was no funny business —— uk ports. weather this will do any good, i am not sure. the next summit wilson be upon us. canada's oil available on prescription within a month. some

people who suffer from certain illnesses, this will be hugely important and really good news. finally it is coming, it has been promised and the home secretary became involved and still, delays for these children for whom it doesn't seem to alleviate severe epilepsy. it is on its way. people have not appreciated its role in penrith. 28 billion people suffer from chronic pain and arthritis and this would be terrific news for them. —— 28 million. it will all happen very quickly, it's a shame it has taken so long. that would put the uk in a more liberal position. the most liberal in europe. i have no problem with that. me neither, most people wonder why when it was approved, everyone asked why it took so long. what do you think about the

front page of the mail on sunday? army will offer a £10,000 golden hellos to soldiers, so soldiers are being kicked out of the army for taking illegal drugs and they are being lowered back with payments of up being lowered back with payments of up to £10,000. this suggests it is higher ranks, because this is quite a lot of money. would you wish... would you give that much money to someone would you give that much money to someone to come back and a lower rank? if you want them back, yes. they must be desperate. i would love to talk to a colonel, because the army depends on discipline. if they start offering £10,000 to come back to the army, for people who have been doing drugs, where does this stop? we are not necessarily talking

about one type of drug, it is many. it doesn't matter what type of drug, any drug. what it is like when you're disgraced former colleague comes back? you have tried to do yourjob really well comes back? you have tried to do your job really well and comes back? you have tried to do yourjob really well and he has... ina way, yourjob really well and he has... in a way, disgraced, let the side down. and he comes back, having trousered quite a lot of money. would you want, on the front line in war, someone would you want, on the front line in war, someone with this kind of record? i am terribly liberal... we don't know where this story has come from, wejust don't know where this story has come from, we just have different page at the moment. it seems to be pointing at the massive manpower shortage. when you say the don't want this type of person, you want someone there, don't you? they are desperate. i hate to sound so liberal about it, but i have my

concerns. i'm sure a lot of people do as well. a good front page story, you should say, i did agree with that. that is what we call a good splash. let's talk about the other story on the front page of the mail on sunday. i know you wanted to talk about this. i have no concern about this was what she is looking lovely. it will be the second royal wedding of the year. not as important as the other one, and of the year. not as important as the otherone, and i'm of the year. not as important as the other one, and i'm sorry... i sound like such an old man, i resent the british taxpayer having to pay £2 million for this woman's wedding. i'm sure she's a lovely lady, but why should we, the british taxpayers, paid £2 million, if that

is the bill, for security around this wedding? the queen goes to also took places and it doesn't cost £2 million on security to protect her. i think it is outrageous. this woman and her sister have been protected by detectives, some of it was paid by detectives, some of it was paid by them. but i find it... i'm staggered that we've fallen for it. you are grumpy tonight! you said you wa nted you are grumpy tonight! you said you wanted to talk about this, i thought you were going to sell everything is! ijust feel that you were going to sell everything is! i just feel that we know the royals are good for tourism... is! i just feel that we know the royals are good for tourism. .. i'm not denying that. there's a huge amount of interest everywhere in the first royal wedding. even if this one is less interesting, people still find it a very compelling narrative and it does encourage visitors to our country. we are being told not many people will turn

up, it is highly unlikely there will be 1000 people there.” up, it is highly unlikely there will be 1000 people there. i suspect more people will turn up than me think. everyone loves a wedding. just try and enjoy it. we haven't had enough royal weddings this year. we are still watching the last one, getting new details about the last one. people are utterly fascinated with royal weddings. you could disappoint them with your lack of knowledge. why'd we have to pay £2 million though? it is an investment in our tourism trade at this time when the economy could be so damaged.” tourism trade at this time when the economy could be so damaged. i don't buy it. this will not boost the economy. you're just finding excuses! my guests this evening for the papers will be back in another hour. that's it for the papers this hour. john stapleton and anne ashworth will be back at 11.30 for another look at the papers. next — the weather. a chilly start to the weekend, but

into next week, it will start to feel a good deal one. what happens beyond that, it will start with what is happening in the atlantic. this is happening in the atlantic. this isa is happening in the atlantic. this is a hurricane, some uncertainty where this will go. quite a few stays away at the moment. this is the cloud that brought the rain on saturday, that isn't the new content for sunday. you notice that we reverse the fortunes, because more cloud and rain is spreading into the north. weather front are cloud and rain is spreading into the north. weatherfront are pushing into scotland and northern ireland on sunday, so after the sunshine on saturday, it will be cloudier and some rain in scotland and northern ireland. heaviest rain in western scotla nd ireland. heaviest rain in western scotland and gale force winds. inman and wales will have an improved day,

dry and sunny after a frosty start to sunday. most will stay fine and temperatures will lift once again. sunday night into monday, the rain is still there across the northern half of the uk. western scotland could see up to 100 litres of rainfall over the next couple of days. this weather front meanders around the same direction. it will move north and south and into monday and tuesday. it will push it way back northwards over monday. some rain and northern ireland, the odd shower in england and wales. the further south, the drier day. we're back to dry conditions on monday evening, with temperatures into the upper teens. everyone should have at least low to mid teens. another speu least low to mid teens. another spell of heavy rain on monday night and tuesday. strong winds over the next three days across the northern half of the country. wenzel the latter further south, and other fine day after it. to tuesday. the oddness orfor that, day after it. to tuesday. the oddness or for that, but the breeze will shift that away. rain is

persistent around western areas of scotland, not a great few days to come here and some wet weather in northern ireland as well. temperatures similar to monday. by wednesday, another area of low pressure will develop and will move northwards. in doing so, we drag the error up northwards. in doing so, we drag the error up from the south. a southerly airflow across the country and the warmer area will be with us. a vastly improved day on wednesday for northern ireland and scotland. after a wet start, things will turn drier and brighter. lots of sunshine, with will start the day with fog, could hamper some of the morning commuters. by the time you're coming home, blue skies and territories into the 20s. into thursday, the main low pressure is out to the west, but we could see a few weather systems push our way, bringing a few showers for the north and east. cloud on thursday, compared to when but still be southerly airflow and we will see the temperatures left. the one sarah could be across the north of wales and around the moray

firth, seeing temperatures leapt up to the low 20s. for the most common temperatures about where they should be for this time of year. the jet strea m be for this time of year. the jet stream has got this big waving pattern, which it continues to have wrecked the way through to next week and beyond, and in doing so, it looks like we will see conditions to be on the milder side, driest in the south and east, but always the chance of some low pressure systems keeping the north and west with some rain at times. there is a slightly less chance that the effect of the hurricane will cause the flat pattern across the north of logic. in doing so, our weather will become much more gentle. —— changeable.

this is bbc news, i'm sophie long. the headlines at 11:00: renomination of brett kavanaugh of maryland to be an associate justice of the supreme court of states is confirmed. —— the nomination. united states senators approve president trump's supreme court nomination. and in the end, maybe the process was really unattractive, but the extra week was something that i think was really good. the nomination has divided america and the voting process was disrupted by protestors. here, a government review reveals that toxic air pollution is far worse in some areas of england than previously thought. the doctor will see you all now. gps trial a scheme where patients share their appointments.
