11:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. the world's top climate scientists have issued their starkest warning yet, saying that huge changes are needed to government policies and individual lifestyles in order to avoid a catastrophic rise in global temperatures. the bellingcat investigative website has named the second suspect in the salisbury nerve agent attack as dr alexander mishkin, a military doctor working for russia's intelligence service — the gru. the family of celia marsh, the second customer believed to have had a fatal allergic reaction to a pret a manger sandwich, have demanded answers over her death. britain's biggest carmaker jaguar land rover says it will close its solihull plant for two weeks this month — after a 50% fall in sales to china. president trump has said the sex assault claims against the new supreme court justice, brett kavanaugh,
11:31 pm
were a "hoax" and "all made up". the president will host a swearing—in ceremony forjustice kavanaugh later tonight. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are liam halligan, the chief economics commentator at the daily telegraph, and dawn foster, who's a columnist for the guardian. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the daily telegraph says the uk is attempting to block the return of at least nine britons held in syria over links to so—called islamic state. the daily express claims just six of britain's police forces have officers on their front desks, despite soaring violent crime. the metro carries the story of the 42—year—old mother of 8, who's been named as the second person who died from a suspected allergic reaction after eating a sandwich bought from
11:32 pm
pret—a—manger. the daily mail claims that pret— a—manger‘s fresh baguettes are made in a french factory and can keep for up to a year. the guardian says the investigative website, bellingcat has identified the second suspect responsible for poisoning sergei skripal as alexander mishkin. the guardian says the investigative website, bellingcat has identified the second suspect responsible for poisoning sergei skripal as alexander mishkin. they say he's a doctor, working for russia's gru military spy agency. and the times say alexander mishkin allegedly travelled to britain in march under the pseudonym alexander petrov to carry out the nerve agent attack on the former russian double agent sergei skripal. the ‘i' has news of a a0 pound dna test that can predict risk
11:33 pm
of heart attack from an early age. and according to the daily mirror, strictly‘s seann walsh has been dumped by his girlfriend rebecca humphries following photos of his kiss with pro partner katya jones. that stock about policing. —— let's talk about policing. irma ahead of the budget, the police, via the newspapers are making their case for more cash. —— ahead of the budget. when you consider that 600 police stations have closed since 2010 in england as —— and wales. there are 700 fewer staff available for that kind of front desk facing the public service. that is since 2016. dr alexander mishkin. -- it —— it has been closed. —— there has
11:34 pm
been an increase in crime, burglaries, looting from shops. these figures are coming to the fore and there is a case by police, after yea rs of and there is a case by police, after years of budget constraints, to get more cash. for the tories, this is important. they are the party of law and order. labour will challenge them. theresa may announced in her speech last year that austerity is over. the police clearly don't think thatis over. the police clearly don't think that is the case. i spoke to an elderly neighbour the other day and she said she has been feeling vulnerable by people on the street hassling her. they will see less police, 700 less police officers taking calls and dealing with the public and it has a knock—on effect on communities. policing is changing. a lot more police are
11:35 pm
tackling cyber crime. a lot of it isn't desk —based compared to half a generation ago. when you have so many police stations closing. and then, 600 have closed since 2010. the public will be alarmed. this aligns with a story in dawn's paper. go on. this shows there has been a sharp rise in suspect. forces have been using stun guns, athens and guns. the rise has been 17%. —— batons. this is a five—month period. it has been disproportionately used against black people in london three times as often as any other ethnic group and the police have said there has been a new report but it doesn't
11:36 pm
account everything and it as though police are being forced to pick up on cuts elsewhere. there has been a huge rise in mental health problems police are responding to because mental health resources are also cut back and often when police get to these places, it is very extreme and thatis these places, it is very extreme and that is why 4 cents up being used in cases. equally, there needs to be a cases. equally, there needs to be a case on why there is an ethnic discrepancy and why they are using force so often when it should be a la st force so often when it should be a last resort. —— that is why force is being used. the matt is a saying it reflects the lack of resources and thatis reflects the lack of resources and that is why it feeds into the story on the front of the paper. —— the met. it raises important and difficult questions. we have a quote from a labourmp
11:37 pm
difficult questions. we have a quote from a labour mp that systemic racism still permeates each stage of the criminal justice racism still permeates each stage of the criminaljustice system. more needs to be done. you would think things would be getting better. this is very clearly, if you break down the numbers, there is a disproportionate impact on black people. and this politician a very skilled mp for tottenham, he is really picking at a sore in the tory party. the stop—and—search, the boris sideshow, one of the clap lines in his speech. he says stop—and—search should be brought backin stop—and—search should be brought back in order to address the big rise we have seen in knife crime, particularly here in the capital in london. let's move on. let's look at the times. take us through this story, dawn. this is philip hammond
11:38 pm
and he has been asked to act over facebook‘s paltry tax bill. and he has been asked to act over facebook's paltry tax bill. his bid to make his inbox would be full after this. a lot of people —— his inbox. given the amount of sales and amount of money they make, apparently it is equivalent to 19p tax. their tax bill last it was 7.4 million and they took it down from around about 15 million. these are big global companies like facebook and google etc, they are making huge amounts of money and more money is being funnelled towards them and the treasury isn't seeing much of it at all. increasingly in this economy, we are told austerity is over and we are still not seen money coming in. almost every body now, labour, the conservatives, are coming around to the idea that we need to tax them
11:39 pm
better. they need to pay their way. even philip hammond, the tory, friendly to business, chancellor, he made the point about the tech giants not paying so much tax. that's £7.4 million of tax that dawn mentioned, that was on sales of 3.4 billion. a pretty good tax rate if you can get it. there is a perfect storm now that the tech giant space. 0n the one hand, you have the two parties vying to tax them more heavily but you also have the newspapers, not least the times, who have felt the social media giants have been treating the newspapers unfairly. 0f course they have taken a lot of the advertising revenues that newspapers have traditionally got. beyond the bbc, you haven't different funding model here —— you have a different funding model, but their journalistic ability has been
11:40 pm
hollowed out. the times and other commercial papers, they will not hold back on this until there is a change. if even a country like the uk which is seen as very pro— enterprise and relatively low tax, is tackling the tech giants and fill hammond at the conference was talking about the tax —— philip hammond. it reminded me of labour's windfall tax on utilities back in the 80s. i am showing my age. it feels like that from a tory government now because there is a sense these companies are too big and too monopolistic and above and beyond, they are not paying their share of tax. this will be one of the big headlines on the budget on the big headlines on the budget on the 21st of october. labour are making the running on this and the tories are catching up. i think the tories are catching up. i think the tories will have to go the extra mile now to show they are ahead of the curve on this policy. it is
11:41 pm
interesting to watch that almost every policy labour is bringing up is being swept away and picked up by the tories. it shows there is a seachange happening globally but also in britain where extreme wealth is becoming completely unacceptable to the british public. most people have found that their standard of living has fallen, their rent has gone up, their mortgage payments have gone up, their utilities and food have gone up and then you see all of these tech oligarchs making huge sums and paid almost no tax and it means the conservatives now are saying actually, you do need to pay more. 32 retailers have come together to plead with the chancellor to give tax breaks to the high street so they can act on a level playing field with the tech giants. retailers, these are not
11:42 pm
reactionary, they are thoroughbred businesses. it is coming from two separate parties. you have damian collins, the chairman of the tech industry in the tory party. also margaret hodge who is a prominent labourmp. margaret hodge who is a prominent labour mp. let's move on to the daily telegraph. very different story there, they are focusing on syria. the telegraph have gone in and found reports that there is evidence the government is blocking people's entry from syria. it doesn't have the resources and infrastructure to bring the people tojustice, though. infrastructure to bring the people to justice, though. it infrastructure to bring the people tojustice, though. it is a complex case to bring people who have been radicalised, gone off to fight and
11:43 pm
bring them back and actually bring them to trial for crimes we are not used to overhear. it is going to happen more and more often. —— over here. people have fled and then in captured. there is also a number of stateless children who have been born to these people who are completely innocent and now they are stuck in limbo. they are born to british people with british citizenship and we need to decide what happens to them and to make sure these innocent children actually do have some form of justice and what do we do? do we bring them back? do we leave them where they are? it is a conundrum. the crown prosecution service are trying to investigate what happened ina warzone trying to investigate what happened in a war zone two years ago. we will see a lot more of this as we approach the endgame in syria. we know that significant numbers of brits went to syria to fight for
11:44 pm
so—called islamic state and then this segues into another different but related story and... just on that, the cps are saying these kids are going to fail. they don't think they can bring them to trial so these people are stuck in syria, basically, at the moment. but they are denying refusing to take them back because that would expose, if you like, their own lack of resource and lack of wherewithal, if you like, the difficulties in properly investigating all what these people did. the political explosiveness of it if people feel they haven't been given a it if people feel they haven't been givenafair it if people feel they haven't been given a fair trial. this would be as sensitive thing and require a lot of constituencies, particularly in the north and the midlands... and how do you get the evidence together in the courtroom? how do you present it? you need to use the english court syste m you need to use the english court system in a more traditional way and how do you gather evidence of what
11:45 pm
they did in syria and iraq? you often have articulate, highly educated people who have been radicalised, talking, under oath, in a british court, talking about hideous happenings linked to british foreign policy. it would be a real can of worms if these people were to be openly prosecuted but we are hearing of nine now. there will be more cases that the cps are going to have to be deciding what to do with. let's talk about foreign politics. the independent is focusing on it. a mother of one of these people who she is trying to get a judicial review of our sajid javid is decision to extract them to the united states. that's right, you have british blond people who have been radicalised fighting for islamic state, and the american authorities want to investigate things they have allegedly done against us forces. and you have two british—born
11:46 pm
militants, who have been... they may be extradited to the us. we don't quite know yet, but sajid javid is accused of having given up any british resistance towards their extradition, even though he knows that in the us they could face the death penalty, because of course... and the claim is he didn't ensure that. and one of their mothers is bringing a case against the home 0ffice bringing a case against the home office to protest them. and let's move on to the daily mail, and this very sad story we have heard about through the course of the day, this second allergy death that pret a manger, just talk us through that. celia marsh was 42, she died over the christmas period eating a pret a manger rap and there was dairy in
11:47 pm
something that was supposed to be the game and the daily mail are focused on the fact the bread can be up focused on the fact the bread can be up to focused on the fact the bread can be uptoa focused on the fact the bread can be up to a year old and brought in and reheated —— supposed to be vegan. i think most people would feel that pret advertise themselves as cooking fresh, et cetera, it is not entirely related to the allergy issue but it raises questions about exactly how pret are selling their food, how it is advertised on whether we know exactly what we are eating. 0bviously post— brexit we will have to look at food standards and how we uphold them. it opens a whole can of worms for pret, who are undergoing a huge commercial and public affairs onslaught at the moment. there are two separate stories here. the first one, so natasha ednan—laperouse died
11:48 pm
one, so natasha ednan—laperouse died ona one, so natasha ednan—laperouse died on a flight because she had an allergy to sesame seeds, and now we have a mother who died in december 2017. this raises very serious concerns. pret are going to have to label their food better in their shops, because if they don't and people start suing them, people who have an died i have maybe suffered, then they are going to be a lot more legally exposed if they haven't taken some kind of action since these stories emerged. so i think we are going to see material changes in pret shops. then we go over to the daily mail story, and i think this isa daily mail story, and i think this is a bit ofa daily mail story, and i think this is a bit of a nonstory. who hasn't taken frozen is a bit of a nonstory. who hasn't ta ken frozen baggott is a bit of a nonstory. who hasn't taken frozen baggott is out of the freezer and stuff them on the other before you have friends over?|j freezer and stuff them on the other before you have friends over? i keep jumpers in my freezer. before you have friends over? i keep jumpers in my freezerlj before you have friends over? i keep jumpers in my freezer. i think they are nice break from frozen. jumpers in my freezer. i think they are nice breakfrom frozen. it is jumpers in my freezer. i think they are nice break from frozen. it is a pylon for pret, they are in the
11:49 pm
dock. the daily mail has done what the daily mail does, and i don't think it really surprises anybody that they are baked from frozen. they are not take on the day from frozen, does it matter they are not made in france? not really. nonstory. and the metro front page has sean walsh, and strictly dumped over katya kiss. it is the strictly curse, potentially. it is the strictly curse, we have seen many people fall to the strictly curse, rachel riley left her husband, the boxer, who left his partner. and now we have comedian sean walsh who was photographed in a sort of tryst, on
11:50 pm
the birthday of his girlfriend. and she has made a statement spelling out very clearly that she wasn't going to talk about it, but actually she has made a statement on the inside of one of the papers saying that she is not a victim. it was her birthday, and now he has accused her in another paper of being... in the daily mail, a psycho for suspecting he was cheating. isn't it great. a lot more publicity for the show, a lot more publicity for the show, a lot more publicity for the show, a lot more viewers will tune in, but how is sean going to perform under pressure? you have to ask why you would be caught with someone while you are on strictly come dancing. either you completely lost it, and i
11:51 pm
guess it is a very intensive programme for them, you get very caught up in the magic of it, and you cheat on your partner, maybe. but equally... who knows. the cynic in me says this is great publicity for a little— known comedian in me says this is great publicity for a little—known comedian who is now better known. thank you very much. that is it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages online, and if you missed the programme any evening you can watch it later on iplayer. thank you to my guess this evening, we will see you again soon. good night. —— guests. hello, i'm sarah mulkerrins, with your sport on the bbc news channel. more premier league players than ever before have been nominated for the prestigious title of world footballer of the year, the ballon d'0r.

11 out of the 30 named play in the top flight of english football. just the one english player, but no surprises, it's harry kane — the second successive year he has made the shortlist. the spurs striker captained his country to the semi—finals of the world cup and finished top scorer at the tournament, with six goals, winning the golden boot. plenty of other stars from the world cup are on the list. eden hazard also reached the semi—finals with belgium. he has had an excellent start to the season at chelsea, as well, scoring eight goals so far. but he may not necessarily be staying there. he has been speaking again about his dream of playing for real madrid, as he heads off to play for his country this week. another belgian, kevin de bruyne, is also nominated. the midfielder was key to his country's success in russia, and to his club, manchester city's, premier league title triumph. and the world cup winners, france, have a few nominees.

test to neville's side as they continue their preparations for next year's world cup in france. they are so fast, they are so physical, and we are going to have to have all our energy. we are going to have all our energy. we are going to have all our energy. we are going to have to show our quality, and it will definitely be a step up from playing brazil on saturday, that is for sure. i have told the players that this morning, if they think tomorrow night will be similar to brazil, they are wrong. it is going to bea brazil, they are wrong. it is going to be a real physical game, this one. the fa are investigating comments made byjose mourinho at the end of manchester united's match on saturday. united came from two down to win 3—2 at home to newcastle. mourinho appears to have sworn in portuguese and made a gesture to the camera as he walked off after the final whistle at old trafford. british number one kyle edmund has reached a career—high of 14th in the world tennis rankings. he made it to the semi—finals of the china open last week, and he has moved up two places.
11:55 pm
but, more impressively, he has risen from 50th at the start of the year. edmund has been british number one since march, when he passed andy murray, who is now number 262 in the world. the former australia opener matthew hayden has thanked hospital staff for looking after him after he suffered a fractured neck while surfing. he posted this picture after the accident in queensland in which he broke a bone in his neck. hayden, now 46, retired in 2009 after scoring over 8,000 runs for australia, with 30 centuries from 103 tests. you are up to date with all the sport. hello. there is more rain to come in this forecast. also some warmth and some sunshine but in the short term, yes, more rain. and parts of the highlands of scotland, the western

isles, have seen close to two inches with more to come to tomorrow. this weather front has been lingering for a few days, bringing outbreaks of rain across scotland and northern ireland through the rest of the night and some of that rain extending down into parts of cumbria and lancashire. fairly patchy here, elsewhere it is dry. a mix of variable cloud and clear spells, temperatures for most staying in double figures. we still have this front lingering tomorrow. it has been hanging around for a few days, outstaying its welcome. still bringing outbreaks of rain and strong winds across northern ireland in scotland. that rain as heavy of further north and west you are but slowly, through the day, it will pull away northwards. something dry across southern and eastern scotland and increasing amounts of sunshine across england and wales as any cloud tends to then break. a little bit of cloud across the far north of england. anywhere north of north wales, we will see the strongest winds through the afternoon. gusts of 40 to 45 mph in places but in the
11:57 pm
sunshine temperatures getting up to 17 and 20 celsius for england and wales, 15 or 16 for much of scotland. 0ur band of rain pulls away northwards through the evening and by wednesday morning it is confined to the far north—west of scotland. meanwhile we see that warm air extending scotland. meanwhile we see that warm airextending up scotland. meanwhile we see that warm air extending up across the uk and that front eventually clears away entirely. you could find a bit more cloud, and patchy rain for a time across the far north—west of scotland. as that moves away on when‘s day, mainly dry day with plenty of sunshine. a brisk south—easterly wind with a few showers arriving late in the day in the far south—west of england. look at these yellow and orange colours developing, it will be a warm day for many. temperatures widely in the high teens and low 20 celsius. parts of east anglia and south—east england perhaps getting up to 2324dc. some changes to come on thursday. some showers and longer spells of rain running away northwards across the uk —— 23 or 24 celsius. further east we could
