breeze, a bit warmer on tuesday —— temperatures. that's the peak of the heat. we've got that band of cloud and a bit of rain on it that continues to drift rather aimlessly in to england and wales. either side of that, bit of mist and patchy fog. nothing too cold just yet, there are some colder nights on the way mind you. on wednesday, we're stuck with this band of cloud and a little bit of rain. at the moment it looks like it's going to be grinding to a halt all the way from lincolnshire to the south—west, where will see the most of any south—west, where will see the most ofany rain. south—west, where will see the most of any rain. some patchy mist and fog in the south—east and when the sun comes out, 18. a bit cooler in scotland, northern ireland and northern england but it should be a lovely day here. this is where we have the coomera. high pressure is building from the atlantic, the south—west, the and that clear skies for most of us —— cooler air. not farfrom for most of us —— cooler air. not far from freezing in for most of us —— cooler air. not farfrom freezing in rural areas. not as cold in southern england and east anglia where we've got more cloud. a legacy of the old front and

it is just cloud on thursday. might spoil the day a bit. away from here, we can expect a good deal of sunshine after that chilly start. temperatures not quite as high on thursday, though. high pressure building in on thursday and lingering in to england and wales on friday. but into that high pressure, we're toppling in these weather fronts. most of the rain is going to be in the north—west of scotland and as that weather front moves further into scotland and northern ireland, it becomes much weaker. england and wales, dry day, spells of sunshine, early morning mist and fog and temperatures of 14—16, pretty good for this time of year. high pressure still dominating more in the southern half of the uk, toppling in across the north of that area of high pressure, some more weather systems for the start of the weekend. we'll see a fresh breeze in the north—west of scotland, nothing particularly strong. a bit of rain around here but away from here probably a dry day, sunnier skies near the high pressure in southern

parts of england and wales after a coolish start. let's look at the outlook. the area of high pressure is going to be the main feature. the position will be crucial, we're going to topple some weather fronts around the top of that area of high pressure bringing some rain in the northern half of the uk. the high might build further in the north, allowing a north—westerly breeze to push down at times and it could bring showers to eastern england for example. on the whole, it looks like most of the rain will be in the northern half of the uk and at times we'll have those winds bringing into land fresh air. but on the whole, pretty decent temperatures for this time of year. hello.

this is bbc news with carol walker. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment, but first, the headlines: theresa may has told mps she believes a deal with the eu is achievable despite differences over how to handle the irish border. we cannot let this disagreement derail the prospects of a good deal, and leave us with the no deal outcome that no—one wants. as police arrive at the saudi consulate in istanbul, the us secretary of state is travelling to saudi arabia for urgent talks on the disappearance of journalist jamal khashoggi. sit—down protests in lancashire as fracking for shale gas begins again for the first time in seven years. the duchess of sussex is expecting her first child in spring next year. kensington palace said she and prince harry were delighted to share their news. hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are author and journalist owen bennett, and economic adviser with the arbuthnot banking group, ruth lea. most of tomorrow's front pages are now in. the prime minister is in a race to rescue the brexit deal says the guardian, as theresa may admits talks with the eu have stalled over the irish border issue. the same story is covered in the metro, which leads with mrs may's insistence that any arrangement with the eu must not divide the uk. the story that's caused a buzz around the world is, of course, the news that meghan is expecting, and the daily mail is clearly intent on enjoying every moment of it! the sun also leads with the baby news,

with the added detail that fellow royals were sworn to secrecy, after the couple shared the happy news with them at princess eugenie‘s wedding last friday. the i leads on an inquiry into sexual harassment in the house of commons, which found female staff were repeatedly groped and propositioned. the times covers the same story. the newspaper adds that the head of the commons standards committee is calling onjohn bercow to quit as speaker of the house following the report. ageism could be recognised as a hate crime on the same level as racist and religious offences under a review of the law. that's in the telegraph. and the same story makes the express, which says the review could result in criminals who target the elderly facing longerjail sentences. so, a varied set of front pages. let's see what our reviewers make of it all.

let's reviewers make of it all. start with the brexit deal. or let's start with the brexit deal... or rather a lack of one with theresa may tall, calling for calm according to the daily telegraph —— theresa may calling for. later in the week, wednesday, she will get to speak to eu leaders. she gave an update to the commons today on how the negotiations were going, which is strange, because there wasn't much ofan strange, because there wasn't much of an update and it seems an opportunity for mps on all sides who don't like her plan to tell her that fa ct don't like her plan to tell her that fact for 2.5 hours. the prime minister said nothing has changed. effectively, she said the deal was close but there needs to be compromise on the irish backstop. in the telegraph it's been reported that a cabinet ministers with concerns about the backstop plan met over pizza, the meal of choice when you're plotting, they met in the office of andrea leadsom, the leader office of andrea leadsom, the leader of the commons tonight, but people have been tweeting about this saying

that any sense there's a mass walkout of the cabinet, it's not going to be like that, they won't threaten to resign. they're quite happy at the moment to let theresa may keep pushing forward. is it so that she has enough rope to hang herself? or do they believe in the planned? herself? or do they believe in the planned ? we will find herself? or do they believe in the planned? we will find out. the pizza plotters are planned? we will find out. the pizza plotters a re not planned? we will find out. the pizza plotters are not going to wield the knife. it was interesting to see how many hostile questions the prime minister got from all sides in that statement. absolutely. i wouldn't rule out their being and of progress this week though they could say this is fine and we'll have a special summit in mid—november and is fine and we'll have a special summit in mid—novemberand put is fine and we'll have a special summit in mid—november and put some deal together, but whether that will pass muster with the mp5 deal together, but whether that will pass muster with the mps in the commons becomes pass muster with the mps in the coitiitioi'is becomes a pass muster with the mps in the commons becomes a big question. i suggested may not, and where are we? the thing will be thrown out. tusk's comment, the president of the european council, he said it all for me, he said no deal looks more

likely than ever but it's always impossible... it always seems impossible... it always seems impossible until it's done. now we know, everything seems impossible until it's done and then it's possible, so where are we? calling on everyone to keep calm and somehow it will... i wouldn't be surprised if some progress wasn't made this week, but how accessible will it be to the commons if and when it is agreed? quite hard to see what sort of compromise she can agree with the eu and get through the commons. she wa nts to eu and get through the commons. she wants to present it as a hotson is choice, you take my deal, you might not like it, but it's a lot better than no deal. john redwood, there area than no deal. john redwood, there are a lot of tory mps, and he was nodding his head in agreement saying we wa nt nodding his head in agreement saying we want no deal, wto rules are great but theresa may is banking on the fa ct but theresa may is banking on the fact that not many mps will share that view and even though labour have said they will vote against that deal, they will be enough

labour mps who will do fivejeremy corbyn to prefer this deal to no deal —— there will be enough labour mps who will defy deal —— there will be enough labour mps who will denyeremy corbyn. deal —— there will be enough labour mps who will defy jeremy corbyn. the impasse is over what's called a backstop. that is the eu's insistence that there is some kind of arrangement that will avoid a ha rd of arrangement that will avoid a hard border in ireland. that's right, this was to keep northern ireland in the customs union and it was effectively agreed by british negotiators in december when phase one of the negotiations was completed. to some extent, we've jumped in and made a mess of this ourselves. theresa may has suggested... the solution may be that the united kingdom stays in the customs union longer than we otherwise anticipated, but that's not going to be very popular with brexiteers so who knows. there's not a great deal to have. theresa may was keen to get across today that this backstop she hopes will never

come into place, she hoped the trade deal will be agreed and by the time we leave we will go straight into this new trade arrangement. but who knows. we haven't heard much about the trade deal yet. apart from the fa ct the trade deal yet. apart from the fact you don't like it, we've heard a lot of that. the commission actually last march did suggest a fairly straightforward trade deal for goods, in other words tariff—free trade with no quota restrictions. of course, they had other restrictions on it as well, like control over the fishing waters, and of course the backstop, but they did actually talk about a tradie in march. who knows? there's the option of the eea, that is still there. i think the eea is dead. people in the commons after vociferous with their support —— are vociferous. there's no off—the—shelf model but you think it is dead?” do, i prefera no deal. i've become

a hard brexiteer as the years have gone by. you started there, i've heard your speeches.” gone by. you started there, i've heard your speeches. i was always very cuddly! a crunch week, clearly a lot more on that as that as the week unfolds. let's look at the times front page, saying saudi arabia to admit khashoggi died under interrogation. this is the investigation into the death ofjoe marler khashoggi in the saudi arabian embassy in the turkey —— jamaal khashoggi. the bbc hasn't verified this story but if true, extraordinary development. verified this story but if true, extraordinary developmentm verified this story but if true, extraordinary development. it is. when we were looking at the papers earlier in the evening, we were talking about the financial times at that point, and this wasn't in the financial times. if this is true it puts a whole different complexion on it. it does seem to me that mr trump

wants to back off the whole saudi arabian conflict because he has said there are rogue killers here, rogue interrogators actually, and he really doesn't want to get involved ina big really doesn't want to get involved in a big row with saudi arabia over this particular issue. but it may be difficult for him to maintain that sta nce difficult for him to maintain that stance if this story is true, because it is suggesting, you know, saudi arabia was preparing to admit he was killed accidentally according to the times inside this embassy. yes. trump was used by riyadh as the outlier almost here, trump today said he spoke to the king and his denial couldn't be stronger, maybe rogue killers. they are getting trump out to spin the line, so that will be trump's defence, saying it wasn't ordered from above. similar to the line president putin has used before with russian actors‘ actions, nothing to do with me, it goes on,

they are rogues. if trump buys this, it changes the complexion of diplomatic relations between america and large parts of the world. the key thing is the enacted states season key thing is the enacted states season saudi arabia has a very important ally in that part of the middle east. there are huge arms deals at stake here. against iran. you're basically talking about the power struggle in that particular region between saudi arabia and iran, which of course is all focused on yemen as well, the tragedy of yemen. saudi arabia often says, look, we help with anti—terrorist activities in the uk and us, we provide intelligence to your secret services which thwarts attack after attack. that‘s the line they‘ve trotted out before and they will keep doing so. it‘s been one of the reasons why british prime minister is like david cameron have defended being so close to the saudi regime. and there are a useful trade

partner. another story on the front page of the times, a big report on bullying at westminster. quite a damning report today that might have got higher profile had it not been for so many other stories happening. this report was carried out by dame laura cox, 200 people came forward and gave evidence. they talked about some of the harassment that goes on in the commons and the basic conclusion is the current administration who run the commons of whichjohn administration who run the commons of which john bercow administration who run the commons of whichjohn bercow is one, can‘t be taken care of until it is tackled. trying to get mps to comment on the story was really difficult. one mp, sir kevin barron, of the labour party, wrote that the

times stating that bercow has to go. i was surprised that seeing is one of the core parts of this report is that mps are not doing enough to tackle it. i can see that bercow is going to suppress any debate in the commons. is this a bigger problem about the whole culture? apparently. for 200 people to come across and say there is some sexual harassment is huge. it's absolutely shocking. underlying this is the concern amongst a lot of people who feel they have been subjected to this, that they are perhaps reluctant to openly make complaints and allegations about what has gone on because they feel it would just be mps deciding their fate. particularly some of the more junior staff. feeling mps are clubbing

together and not keen to open up, openly investigate what has been going on. the fact that there is an separate hr processes and procedures for mps separate hr processes and procedures formps and separate hr processes and procedures for mps and start to go to is concerning but carroll, you know that westminster is a place for the gossip and if your name is mentioned, lots of people, it‘s a big place. i guess people feel they get the reputation as a troublemaker, that is in the report, they feel it is better to keep their heads down. that should not be how it is. the financial times has a small mention of an important report out. picking up on theresa may‘s pledge to end austerity. the ifs is

saving, it might cost of it. if the government wants to hit its target in the mid—2020 is a balancing the books, they will have to cut spending more and increase taxes. when theresa may talks about ending austerity, she is feeding into a labour's narrative. i take a much tougher view on this, unsurprisingly, because after all public spending has been growing steadily over the last few years since george osborne tried to deal with the deficit which was 10% of gdp but it's been growing slower than 2000 when it was growing very quickly. i take the view that where we are with public spending, it is not austerity, it is the normalisation after a splurge that cani normalisation after a splurge that can i persuade the conservative party to think as i do. spending now

is £800 billion. not peanuts. that's 38.5% of gdp and it has to be paid for by taxes and taxes are going to be at their highest level to gdp since 1969 set think of the poor taxpayer. when theresa may announces the end of austerity, people have an expectation there will be a bit more generosity perhaps a net benefits, and the amount of public spending available, and labour have been battling on this. public sector workers expecting a pay rise, more money in their pay packets, people expecting more spending for local authorities. i think that is one area where you both would accept there has been a huge reduction in what‘s been available. there has been a huge reduction in

what's been available. because there was health and education, the entire charade, it means some of the programmes actually had cuts. the ifs report says there needs to be a penny on vat, income tax and national insurance in order to paper at but let‘s look at other ways we can raise money. the digital marketplace. we need to look at the council taxes and seat that‘s a way of changing local income tax. there isa of changing local income tax. there is a problem of how we run our economy. we are running it with the tax system that is not fit for purpose. i‘ve not heard a lot of ideas from the tory party. ideas coming from the free marketeers. audi reform it. extra tax, extra tax, extra tax. some of us believe in low taxes. whenever we talk about

taxing pension relief, there are howls of outrage. these are curtains —— these are no doubt conservative voters. and you are encouraging people to paper their old age, no sexism or age discrimination here. march 29 next year, the nose, when it comes around, it might be com pletely it comes around, it might be completely overshadowed by another event. we have a royal mum to be. meghan on her tour down under despite the zika alert. my wife and i went to cuba and we didn‘t realise that zika was in south america. but the zika and was a bit of a worry. obviously she will not to go to any areas where there is a risk of contracting zika. this will be the

most looked after baby in the world. it would be delicious if we spent all this time building up to brexit and it‘s knocked off the front pages by something different. wonderful how this young couple, we were hearing earlier this evening, from australia, a country where there is a strong streak of republicanism, but people are really warming to the royal couple, really excited about the royal baby news. good luck to them. as we have said already, baby is probably due at the time of brexit. negotiations have gone on for about 3000 years. the younger royals seem to be capturing the public imagination and perhaps more in touch with the public mood. prince harry in particular has been on what some papers call that of the journey, understandable, his role in life is so defined. just on a

personal level, you have to try and find your way in the world. things like the invictus games, even if you don‘t support the monarchy, those things are really good. a fantastic job at flagging up the issue. meghan is multitalented, she can shut car doors. that is a royal achievement, briefly. 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. thank you, owen and ruth. goodbye. good evening, i amjim watson and

here is your latest sports news. england won 3—2 against spain. our sports editor reports from seville. this was an occasion england needed to reflect well on them, both off the pitch where a minority of fans had clashed with spanish police and on it, with one of football‘s most feared force is lying in wait. england were fortunate not to concede immediately. but there was nothing lucky about what happened next. a wonderful move finished with aplomb by rahim stirling. what a waiter claimed first international goal in three years. that was the first time england scored in spain since 1987. marcus rushford silenced

seville. but the visitors won‘t finished. england looking world beaters as stirling scored his second in an unforgettable night. spain came into the match as a form team. the hosts were given hope. pickford was lucky not to give a penalty. spanish prostration boiling over. another one was pulled back by ramos but this will be remembered for a famous england victory. two stunning a strong spain side, this tea m stunning a strong spain side, this team and gareth southgate continues to gather pace. well it was a very different story for northern irleand who‘re in danger of being relgeated from their group after another defeat, losing 2 nil away to bosnia hertzegovina tonight. northern ireland began well but suddenly against the run of play jamal lewis lost his footing and the bosnians went ahead through edin djeko.

their second goal came after 70 minutes when roma striker djeko found himself unmarked and doubled the lead. northern ireland had plenty of chances to score but failed to convert. they‘re bottom of their group, with thee defeats from three matches. billy vunipola is out of next month‘s england rugby union test series. the number 8 broke his left arm playing for saracens this weekend. he‘ll have an operation tomorrow that will rule him out until around christmas. vunipola‘s absence adds to head coach eddiejones problems. billy‘s brother mako picked up a calf strain in the same match, while second row maro itoje broke his nose in the same game. england are already without joe launchbury, anthony watson and sam simmonds for the upcoming tests. jones names his test squad later this week. england spinner liam dawson will miss the rest of the one—day series in sri lanka. he‘s been in the first two starting elevens but sat out training today with a side strain. the squad is in kandy for their next match on wednesday with chris woakes enjoying the opportunity to open the bowling again. i don‘t always see it as the leader

of the attack. some guys have good days, some guys have bad days. i will have the occasional bad day and somebody has to step up. i liked the idea of building the top overs in this format. you get good rewards from it. the rewards are there if you do it well and execute your plans well. and that is all the sport. monday was a fine day but a disappointing one to ringwood and wales, a lot of cloud around. some mist and wales, a lot of cloud around. some mistand murk wales, a lot of cloud around. some mist and murk and drizzle. even into the first part of tuesday. a weather system making inroads into the north—west corner of the country. to the south, double figures to begin. some mist and fog around. conditions will improve as the day wears on. gales in the north—west. of rain
