‘ whether warm whether warm up hello. the wednesday whether warm up is here and what is striking about it is just is here and what is striking about it isjust a is here and what is striking about it is just a widespread the sunshine and the warmth will be. africa, follow the arrows. the arrows coming from a long way south of the uk. weather front in north—west scotland has finally cleared, so again we are all in the sunshine and warmth. it's that overstressed just how different the weather will be for some of us at the end of the week, potentially disruptive wind and rain. we will look at that in a moment. first of all, we will save the wednesday's sunshine. an early patch of mist and fog clearing and there is hardly anything else to show you on the marc pugh, such as the extent of the afternoon sunshine. of course, remember where the air is coming from. high teens, low 20s, some around 23, 20 four degrees in england. widely fight eight degrees above normal for the time of year. a glorious day. bare in mind for the channel islands, south—west england in southwest wales, as this first weather front comes in in southwest wales, as this first
11:31 pm
weatherfront comes in it, another front for thursday. there is a gap between the two mind you. eastern side of the uk has that, some sunshine, still clearly has an warmth but of course, if we get any rain it is going to feel cooler but a more significant weather system is coming infor a more significant weather system is coming in for friday. rapidly deepening area of low pressure, still something to play for. how close it is going to come to the north—east of the uk, but it is the irish sea coasts most likely almost a risk of seasonally disruptive winds. and the smell of heavy rain starting to move in as well, particularly into wales and western parts of england. it is wind, it is rain. both of which could bring some problems. the rain continues into saturday as well. pulses of heavy rain along the weather front but particularly for northern and western parts, it does not move much during saturday, so the further south—east you are, you still season sunshine and warmth, into the low
11:32 pm
20s on saturday. eventually, this weather system during sunday will start to take that rain further south—east. the last weather for the week ahead, we talked about ten shall not reckon mostly out in the atlantic, it mostly the uk over the weekend. let's take a look at it on the recent satellite picture, here it is. it is more likely it will stay to the south of the uk but quite likely to come close to africa oi’ quite likely to come close to africa or iberia. more interestingly, hurricane michael in the gulf of mexico bearing down on the line as a major hurricane. we interested in the potential impact on our weather into next week. this is what we think hurricane michael is going to do, once it has moved inland into the us, it is going to weaken. it will move north—east and then what is left of it will become incorporated in regular area of low pressure and then move across canada. it looks like regardless of
11:33 pm
impact from that, low pressure will be to the north—west around next week. the closer you are to it, the more likely you are going to see some spells of wind and rain. rain occasionally pushing south—east across the weekend. they will be drier, brighter moments too and throughout the week, it is looking mild, though not as warm or sunny as it will be this wednesday. enjoy it while you can, if you can. hello. this is bbc news with carole walker. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines.
11:34 pm
theresa may faces growing calls from seniorfigures in her own party to change course on brexit — or face dire electoral consequences. in a surprise move the us ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley, is another casualty from president trump's cabinet — she gives no reason for stepping down after two years. the second russian suspect involved in the salisbury chemical poisoning is now identified as alexander mishkin — a military doctor who works for the intelligence agency the gru. a waste disposal company is stripped of some of it's nhs contracts in england, after hundreds of tons of medical waste from hospitals were left to pile up. a convicted british paedophile is taken to court by five boys from the philippines who claim he abused them there. hello and welcome to our look ahead
11:35 pm
to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are caroline wheeler, who's the deputy political editor at the sunday times, and the political journalist, jane merrick. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the daily mail reports that school pupils are to be given routine mental health checks. teachers will be trained to carry out the ‘wellbeing' assessments at primary and secondary schools the daily telegraph says the royal college of psychiatrists is to review its opposition to the legalisation of cannabis, despite its concerns over the risks the drug poses to users' mental health. the i says health chiefs are calling for an army of unpaid helpers to support ‘exhausted' medical staff and improve patient care. according to the metro, one of the spies accused of carrying
11:36 pm
out the salisbury poisonings had his identity exposed by his grandmother. the financial times says the bank of england has issued its starkest warning yet that up to £41 trillion of derivatives contracts maturing after brexit are at risk, unless european officials urgently address regulatory uncertainty. the guardian reports on comments from the former prime minister gordon brown, who says britain is on course for a summer of discontent over universal credit. the daily express says soaring property prices have forced more than a quarter of young adults to live with their parents. and the times reports that a third of young people abstain from alcohol, and the proportion of them who have never tried it has almost doubled in the past decade. so, quite an array of different
11:37 pm
stories on the front pages in the morning. let us start with this big headline, jane, on the front page of the daily mail, mental health checks for all pupils. this is a pretty big announcement on the date when many people are looking at the problems of mental health. it is a big announcement tomorrow by the prime minister. it will be £i.9 announcement tomorrow by the prime minister. it will be £1.9 billion, a pretty big sum of money, to transform mental health service in that schools, pupils will be given routine mental health checks. teachers will be trained to carry out wellbeing assessment in primary school and secondary school. this is much needed. concerns about mental health in children are rising. there are some shocking figures about mental health problems in young people, they have increased sixfold over the past two decades. girls are at risk of self—harming, a fifth of those aged 14. there is a big issue
11:38 pm
that needs to be addressed. those figures are quite worrying when you think of such a high proportion of out think of such a high proportion of our young people suffering these mental health problems. quite a challenge is to how this will all work. it is challenging. ithink it is important they are finally doing it. if you look at what is happening to adults in this country, if we don't start to address the problem in primary school with our youngest, it will present date a bigger problem. you can see why the impetus is there. —— it will precipitate. the prime minister talked of this as one of the burning injustices when she took over as prime minister. it is world mental health day tomorrow. you are right about the challenges. if we look particularly at the child adolescent and mental health groups, which are looking to support mental health, they have been riddled with problems, overrun with children needing help. very overstretched. often having to put young people in
11:39 pm
places very far away from their homes. if they are going to be serious about this, they are clearly going to have to underpin that with a lot more support. also not rushing to put psychologists in there all the time, but may be putting in more teaching assistants to help children learn, they're coping mechanisms. i am acutely aware of their mother that one of the most important things in my children is that they learn how to deal with certain aspects that are happening in their day—to—day lives, if it is fighting with siblings, dealing with the idea that one day we are going to die, for example, it can be very traumatic. if we don't treat their coping mechanisms when they are young, than anything else that comes, the topper knocks that come later in life, they will not be able to deal with them. -- tough at knox. there are questions about how exactly these assessments will be carried out, who will carry them out, whether there are sufficient people with the right expertise to do that. yeah. that is absolutely
11:40 pm
right. there will be therapists going into schools to treat children with mental health problems. where is that training going to come from? will there be fully qualified therapist to do that? teachers carrying out wellbeing assessment, i think they are already pretty overworked. at the moment they are pretty good at spotting problems or social problems in children. i think as caroline alluded to, the teaching assista nts as caroline alluded to, the teaching assistants have been cut. it is a lack of consistency from the governed. 0n the one hand they have cut back on staff, having a teaching assistant, the extra person in the room to spot difficulties of a teacher tries to teach has been really important. or take them out in smaller groups so they can deal with some of those difficulties on a more personal basis. absolutely. let us move on. more personal basis. absolutely. let us move on. there more personal basis. absolutely. let us move on. there are more personal basis. absolutely. let us move on. there are lots of other stories to look at this evening. the telegraph, on the front page, a cannabis review could relax the drug
11:41 pm
laws. an interesting move from the royal college of psychiatrists, having a rethink on the whole issue. that's right. there has been a wind of change on this particular subject for sometime. ever since we have some of those prevalent cases over the summer months, the famous one being vili coldwell, the idea that they needed this cannabis oil which would help them manage their medical conditions —— billy. we see medical experts reopening this and whether we need to look at legalisation of. that is medicinal cannabis. that is medicinal cannabis. this one they are talking about relaxing the troubles. at the bottom of the article, or what they are not saying is that they are wholesale behind it, they say they want to be more open—minded about it. even within the article there is some infliction between those that are saying, actually, they are worried about the risks of psychosis linked with cannabis and at the bottom, the
11:42 pm
former vice president, actually saying it was insane to treat cannabis as an illegal drug when there is no evidence to show a causal link to schizophrenia —— some conflict. there is division and divide among experts about whether this is good. it links back to the other story. that is at the heart of this. the reason there has been such strong opposition to relaxing the laws has been about whether or not it would in fact exacerbate problems with people's mental health, which are already pretty prevalent in ce ntre are already pretty prevalent in centre is already. you do wonder the group say it is something theresa may is likely to do —— in certain pockets. and when she was a home secretary, she was pretty hard line and not into legalising anything. there is a huge difference about having a decriminalised for medicinal purposes, for the oil, and
11:43 pm
legalising cannabis altogether. i think there is more than an association, there may not be a direct causal link with schizophrenia, but i think there is a correlation between the deprivation problems, cannabis use, andi deprivation problems, cannabis use, and i think all the problems of society has at the moment and the cuts being made come the last thing we wa nt cuts being made come the last thing we want is to legalise cannabis and open a new world problems of people who really need the help being able to access cannabis as well. of course, it has been legalised in some american states, for example, and in other parts of the world. yes, it has. and to varying degrees of success. everybody has a view on this particular subject. it is always difficult to sort of sea between those when you are looking at it in the very strict terms that this article is looking at it, the impact on mental health. i think you are right in what you say about theresa may e. given the strong push back that the government has given out the bottom of the story, that
11:44 pm
there is strong evidence that cannabis is harmful and can be detrimental to mental health, when you are seeing headlines like this in the daily mail about getting in early and putting mental health right to the top of the political agenda and the fact that she was a former home secretary well versed in these things, i don't think we will be seeing any liberalisation of the drug was any time soon. let us move on an look at another story which we have been discussing quite a bit on the bbc news channel this evening. this is nikki haley and her surprise decision to stand down at the end of the year as the united states ambassador to the un. jain, a classic picture there of donald trump grasping her hands, they were pretty chummy when they appeared alongside one another. they were. it was a surprise alongside one another. they were. it was a surprise announcement. alongside one another. they were. it was a surprise announcement. she has only done two years in this job, eight years in total in terms of administration, she said in her resignation letter that she believed
11:45 pm
in term limits and wanted to stand down and did not want to carry on forever and become a private citizen, that is an interesting way to put it. she specifically rules out having a tilt at the presidency in 2020, which i think is a slight red herring. 0bviously donald trump will get the republican nomination, barring any major developments from robert hill's enquiry. she is well light, very forthright —— robert mueller. she would be seen as a good choice. she is perhaps try to put distance between her and donald trump and he is... it was interesting that apparently her resignation letter was written the day after the scathing attack on christine blasey ford. if it is a long—term strategy to run in 2020 for it might be quite a clever manoeuvre. for it might be quite a clever manoeuvre . everyone seems for it might be quite a clever manoeuvre. everyone seems to be praising her achievement at the
11:46 pm
united nations, pointing out how effective she has been in that role as ambassador, at a time it was pretty difficult given some of donald trump's attitudes. pretty difficult given some of donald trump's attitudesm pretty difficult given some of donald trump's attitudes. if you look at some of the things she has been involved in, you would have expected there to be a bumpy ride with donald trump. actually, she has been seen as a donald trump loyalist, until now. what jane says is interesting about the timing of this announcement. if this was something she was doing almost in protest at what has happened, it is a curious way to do it in that she is holding his hand, they are speaking warmly, he is talking very affectionate about her and how sorry he is use going. if the long—term strategy is that she is going to have a tilt in 2024, it might be a good thing because then she keeps his patronage and she doesn't seem to be coming out and being openly critical of him but everyone knows deep down that she went just after that event. we will look very briefly at several stories. the
11:47 pm
guardian, frontpage, talks about tory benefit cuts. caroline, this is gordon brown having a go at universal credit. as it is rolling out across the country, more and more, the problem start to become prevalent. we had about the six—week gap that benefit claimants were having to wait to get benefits, there were reports about people falling down cracks and not being able to feed their children. what gordon brown as saying today, of course he is a significant voice, given that he was as jane pointed out earlier, the architect of some of the really key benefit support system changes that work to support
11:48 pm
children and families. he is saying this is going to be a poll—tax moment, it is actually going to precipitate really huge backlash. it is interesting to note that this comes not long after the work and pensions secretary was admitting to members of the cabinet that a large number, in fact half of all single pa rents number, in fact half of all single parents and two thirds of couples with children were going to lose £2400 a year, which is a huge amount, if you consider that their incomes are probably quite small, it is £200 a week. i do not think this story is going to go away very quickly. the government is still sticking by universal credit for the time being. let's go to the new european, there is a very striking image and it is all tied in with an article on brexit and climate change. a terrific image there playing on the shredding of the ba nksy playing on the shredding of the banksy work of art, but this is about brexit and climate change.
11:49 pm
yeah, i need to declare an interest for this piece, but i think it has become iconic and has already been picked up by cartoons and by the design of the new european this we actually tells a story of the incredibly alarming and serious ipcc report this week about how we could be reaching a tipping point on climate change in 12 years, but the piece i have written is about looking at the sort of prism of brexit and that the uk are perhaps less quick to tackle climate change because we will be leaving the european emissions trading scheme, we will not have access to the europeanjustice courts we will not have access to the european justice courts for climate change issues. it is not to say that the two things are conflated, but it isjust something to the two things are conflated, but it is just something to consider. the two things are conflated, but it isjust something to consider. i think that the climate change issue is so serious and it is so close with this 12 year deadline, that it is almost, we have two take
11:50 pm
cognizance of the fact that climate change is there as we go through the brexit negotiations stop weight ok, it let'sjust look brexit negotiations stop weight ok, it let's just look at one more story here, which is the story on the front page of the times. the third of under 25 is now drink no alcohol, interestingly, talking about the mental health of the lot of young people. but this is saying that the image we might have once had of lots of young people going out, getting very drunk, especially at university age, one third of them do not drink anything at all. quite surprising. tsonga surface of this you would think people drinking less alcohol, there is a lot of talk about how much it cost the nhs to treat people with alcohol—related conditions that actually what it leaves me wondering as well, what are these young people doing? we know from other studies that they do not really have drugs any more have sex any more, i find those two things quite worrying if
11:51 pm
you put them together. if there is no alcohol and no sex, then what is going to happen to the human race? what on earth are they doing? the answer, what a young people doing that they were not doing a generation ago? i think many of them it comes back to, they are very much engaged in social media, they are finding their social time not in the pub that sitting in the bedroom, playing a game or interacting with people in a virtual way of, and i just wonder how healthy that is going to be ultimately for their mental health, as much as it is good that they are not drinking, is this going to be another problem that we are storing up for later life? fascinating stuff. thank you very much indeed. 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'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. a big thank you to my guests this evening, caroline wheeler and jane merrick, and
11:52 pm
from all of us, goodbye. hello. in the minuses drew 1—1 against australia tonight. they went 1—0 up very early in the first half. st paul goalkeeping letting fran kirby infor paul goalkeeping letting fran kirby in for the opener, and it looked like that would be enough until the matildas in the 84th minute managed to get a header equaliser from a corner. england should have had two penalties awarded and the goals also wrongly disallowed for offside. journalist has just ask me now what is my biggest concern about the rest of the world cup? may be the standard of refereeing, maybe. it is improving, i think the league is
11:53 pm
improving, i think the league is improving, but the referee on saturday, the portuguese referee on saturday, the portuguese referee on saturday, the portuguese referee on saturday, the french referee today, the second penalty was the biggest concern because she was actually nearer to the actual penalty decision than the actual linesmen and she referred to the linesman for help, which for me was astounding really. england's men trained today, a first chance to make an impression ahead of their nations league matches coming up over the next week. the 18—year—old was enjoying this first senior call—up. he has helped borussia dortmund to the top of the bundesliga. there was punishment for swastika being burned onto the pitch three years ago. it is going to be a very different atmosphere to the atmosphere at the world cup a few months ago, with croatia of course beating england. you want to play against the best, so know i do not think it is the
11:54 pm
destruction, it does not matter who iam destruction, it does not matter who i am playing against, i want to try and play as many as i can. it will bea and play as many as i can. it will be a very strange atmosphere, i have never played in a game behind closed doors before so it will be an experience, but we will go out there fully experienced and hungry to get the points. pakistan have a mighty lead in the test after a massive collapse from australia. they were all out for 202 on the third day, in reply to pakistan's innings of 482. open as usman khawaja and aaron finch made centuries, but only two other australian batsmen made double figures. pakistan did not enforce the follow on, they lost a couple of wickets before the close. 45— and still a lead of 325. 0nly
11:55 pm
only four batsmen have spent any time in the middle and they have a terrible record as well in sri lanka. we have shown we are going away to bangladesh and winning in their conditions is obviously a good marker, and you have to do the same here and play well. england have only 161—day internationals in sri la nka only 161—day internationals in sri lanka that you are considered to be favourites for this series? hadi feel about that? it means we have been doing something right, we have obviously worked our way up to the top of the rankings, citing the guys enjoy that pressure of being the number one side and people wanting to obviously beat us and going away and playing international cricket is and playing international cricket is a really tough challenge and coming here, with the favourites title, i do not think is anything that worries aside. -- b side.
11:56 pm
—— the side. and that is all you sport. hello. if you missed the sunshine today, it is heading your way on wednesday because finally we lose that mean bearing front. it scoots away northwards, that warmth extending right across the uk. however, then something entirely different by the end of the week because we are likely to see some potentially disruptive, wet and windy weather by friday. we'll talk about that in just a moment's time. back to tonight, we have still got some outbreaks of rain to deal with for the far north and west of scotland. elsewhere, mainly clear skies, the odd touch of mist and fog in some areas but it is not going to be too tricky at all. seven to 12 celsius overnight low, to tomorrow, plenty of sunshine. we could just have some
11:57 pm
lingering cloud to the far north—west of scotland, then it is a day of blue skies and sunshine. a fairly noticeable southall south—easterly breeze, still quite breezy for the western isles of scotland. that breeze mightjust ta ke scotland. that breeze mightjust take the edge of temperatures right along the south coast. in the northern ireland scotland, temperature is into the low teens or high 20s, 23 or 24 for south—east england and east anglia. 0n the thursday, more of a transition day. ireland and scotland. showers in the morning, this one will bring some more persistent rain in the western areas late in the day. showers around first, in central areas then they will pull around, then that rain will start to settle in the afternoon. —— pull away. still for one more day, holding some warmth with temperatures between 19 and 22 celsius, already cooler by the west. this is what happens as we go into
11:58 pm
friday, a really deep area of low pressure. those isobars are tightly packed together, we are going to see gail is quite widely and also heavy rain. it looks like the heaviest of the rain on friday is going to be across northern, western scotland, wales, northern ireland, south—west england, and probably will not get across to the far south—east of england. we all going to have a very windy day, gusts is quite widely 40 or 50 miles windy day, gusts is quite widely 40 or50 miles an windy day, gusts is quite widely 40 or 50 miles an hour, perhaps even 60. these are average sustained winds, perhaps even higher in south—western isles of scotland. some disruptive weather heading our way towards the end of the week, songkhla conditions as well. there are already a number of warnings in place, and if you want to stay up with those, they all on our website. bye— bye. with those, they all on our website. bye—bye. —— they are all. welcome to newsday on the bbc. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. the headlines: president trump praises nikki hailey after her shock resignation as us ambassador to the un. but is she after his job? we're all happy for you in one way,
11:59 pm
but we hate to lose you. hopefully you will be back at some point, maybe in a different area, you can have your pick. controversy over bangladesh's plan to resettle rohingya refugees to an uninhabited island in the bay of bengal. translation: i left everything behind, my house, my cattle, and faced a lot of hardship. now we've just about settled down and they're talking about moving us to that ireland? i am talking about moving us to that ireland? iam really talking about moving us to that ireland? i am really scared.
