this time of the well into october. this time of the year, mist and fog tends to be more ofan year, mist and fog tends to be more of an issue, and year, mist and fog tends to be more ofan issue, and infact year, mist and fog tends to be more of an issue, and in fact over the coming days we will have some problems with fog. but there is also going to be a lot of fine, sunny weather. this is what is happening more or less right now. we have a weather front moving in the atlantic bringing thicker cloud and freshening winds to north—western parts of the uk, but to the south, high pressure here. so that means the early hours of the morning on friday we will have seen clearer skies, and actually quite nippy in some towns and cities, just a few degrees above freezing. in london, eight degrees, and for our friends in stornoway, io eight degrees, and for our friends in stornoway, 10 degrees because of the atlantic breeze and that approaching weather front. so the atlantic breeze and that approaching weatherfront. so here isa approaching weatherfront. so here is a look at friday's weather map. high pressure to the south, so broadly across england and wales, whereas in northern ireland and scotla nd whereas in northern ireland and scotland we have a weather front moving through, briefly upsetting the weather in the western isles and maybe other parts of scotland as well. i wouldn't be surprised if there is some light rain in glasgow and edinburgh and basically the front fizzles away and falls apart and we are left over with partly cloudy skies. to the south is dry,

it is bright, if not sunny. i7 cloudy skies. to the south is dry, it is bright, if not sunny. 17 in london, not bad at all. iii it is bright, if not sunny. 17 in london, not bad at all. 1a or 15 on the north sea coast. i mention the mist and fog earlier on, and it could be the case that we have a pea souper first could be the case that we have a pea souperfirst thing. could be the case that we have a pea souper first thing. some of it may struggle to clear. actually lingering into the afternoon. for those of us who get the sunshine it should be a decent day. 18 degrees in london. even eastern scotland could warm up to around 17 celsius. saturday night into sunday, a weather front across the north—west of the country spells some rain. to the south with a higher pressure. here, sunday morning, where the winds are lighter, again there could be some thick fog around. that includes the london area through the m4 corridor down in towards the south as well. in the north we have a weak weather front moving through sunday so there could be some rain across yorkshire in the middle of the afternoon. those temperatures

are not bad at all. early next week, let's call this monday and tuesday, we got a big high pressure across this part of the atlantic. to the north of the high pressure we have a jetstrea m. north of the high pressure we have a jetstream. when the jet stream bulges like that we usually get a high pressure to the south. look what happens to thatjetstream and the clouds, the weather fronts, they pour into scotland and northern ireland. we are not exactly getting high pressure everywhere on monday. to the south, yes. england and wales has fine weather, a little bit misty in the morning. but in the north, closer to that jetstream bulging around the high pressure, we have weather fronts and some rain. around the high pressure, we have weatherfronts and some rain. so cool here and quite a bit cooler. no more than 18 degrees, more like 13 01’ more than 18 degrees, more like 13 or m. the reason for it is the air is increasingly coming in from the north. that is because of the jetstrea m, north. that is because of the jetstream, you can see that diving down so it tends to bring some of that airfrom down so it tends to bring some of that air from the north southwards. on this map, where you have the yellow colours, that might mean it is warm but that can be quite

deceiving. during this time of year, when we have high pressure, disorder orientation and the winds blowing around it like so, the winds ten to bring brisk but bright conditions. it could be a little bit on the chilly side. i think overall weather next week is not looking too bad at all. that's it for me. thank you for watching. hello. this is bbc news, with lu kwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines: the prime minister says extending the transition period after the uk leaves the eu could be one option to help solve the issue of the northern ireland border. the eu says it's ready to consider the idea. the missing saudi journalist jamal khashoggi is most likely dead, says president trump, who's warning riyadh there will be consequences if it played a part. the uk and the us have pulled out of a trade summit with saudi arabia next week. the murder rate in england and wales reaches a 10—year high. crime figures also show increases in robberies and theft. overall, recorded crime

is up nearly 10%. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are political commentator lance price, and giles kenningham, who's also a political commentator. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the daily express blames a post—code lottery for a war veteran being denied a medical kit which the paper says could tranform his life. the i says a no—deal brexit is on the horizon after theresa may's trip to brussels to meet eu leaders ended with a deadlock on an agreement. the daily telegraph reports that both brexiteers and remainers are unhappy with the prime minister's transition plan to remain tied to the eu for longer.

the financial times also leads with brexit, with mrs may acknowledging she's willing to extend the period britain remains under eu law beyond 2020 in an attempt to strike a trade deal with brussels. in the guardian, the main picture shows the anti—fracking campaigners who were released from prison yesterday after their sentences were quashed by the high court. the metro leads on crime and says a father—of—two was murdered on his doorstep after confronting drug dealers in his neighbourhood. that story also features in the daily mirror and it comes as the latest figures show a rise in violent crime. and the daily mail claims saudia arabia has spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on british mps, paying for luxury hotels and business class flights. mps

mp5 on the saudi gravy train is their headline. there you are, the brexit talks are dominating many of tomorrow's front pages. let's see what our reviewers make of it all. let's start there. the guardian, lance? they are focusing on the political difficulties that theresa may finds herself in, and suggesting that actually there's a willingness amongst the leaders of the other european union nations, the other 27, to help her through those difficulties if they can and that's pa rt difficulties if they can and that's part of the mood music and the body language we saw at the summit in the last couple of days, that they want to help and they're not quite sure what they're supposed to be helping with. why the change of heart? i'm not sure it's a change of heart but it's a recognition of the situation, they are slightly burmese but they have sympathy, because there are politicians, they have sympathy with her difficulties bash them used. it is difficult that its parliamentary

arithmetic —— them used. is difficult that its parliamentary arithmetic -- them used. if theresa may goes, do we get borisjohnson, and there are no fans of boris johnson, who will be much more difficult, but over the one thing that doesn't get reported, the eu have skin in the game with these negotiations, thousands of businesses are financed out of london and they need a deal. we've been far more defensive, we need to push back and that's why we're going to get a deal. the 11th hour is the way the eu in ago shed but we need to be confident and keep our poker face up. if may goes, what's the likelihood of that —— the way the eu negotiate. there's a reason, one of the reasons why boris johnson negotiate. there's a reason, one of the reasons why borisjohnson hasn't wielded the knife, he doesn't want to take over because he's not got a

plausible alternative to what's going on. so often in politics it's about the maths and it's about the calendar, and it's impossible to get rid of that before we leave the european union, assuming we're going to, because unless the tory party can agree on one candidate to be swept into power to replace him, there would need to be a leadership election and there is no time for that. what about the comments from macron, you touched on this, the problem isn't in the eu, it is back home, it is embarrassing. how on earth is she going to clear up the problems back home, macron is saying we wa nt problems back home, macron is saying we want to help, but the problem isn't here, it is local. there's a realisation that will dawn on mps, you didn't get a deal through, to cast the government, there could be a general election, it's a backdoor toajeremy a general election, it's a backdoor to a jeremy corbyn government. you

will see a softening in position. they have relented on the size of the divorce deal, the transitional period, they've moved on a lot of things, you'll see more movement as time goes on. that's true, but ultimately it comes down to a vote in the house of commons. the government has to put something to the house of commons and whatever they put to them won't have a majority in itself. maybe there are people willing to go with it for the reasons giles has been describing, but it will also hit the country and the electorate will look at it and think, is what we're being offered better than staying in the european union, either temporarily or the long—term, and lots of people will conclude it's not. let's move on to the daily mail, and mp5 on saudi gravy train, coming off the story of the saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi, and his alleged murder in the saudi consulate in istanbul. this points to the very, very big pr

campaign effectively that the saudis have been running recently to try to furnish their image. they've been doing it for years and there is excess belly, keeping western politicians, both here and particularly in the us, but elsewhere in the west as well, on the saudi side of the divide in the middle east —— and very successfully. it doesn't surprise me they're spending this money. it doesn't surprise me mps are taking them up on the offer of. i noticed in the small print that the chancellor, philip hammond, accepted the offer of a £2000 watch —— the offer. i don't think he'll be wearing that prominently in the weeks to come. i don't think he'll be wearing that on budget day! it's not whether mps go, it's how they behave when their there. mps should go to these places and find out first—hand what the situation is like first—hand but it shouldn't cloud theirjudgement like first—hand but it shouldn't

cloud their judgement —— like first—hand but it shouldn't cloud theirjudgement —— when they are there. you should engage with these countries, but taking guests and hospitality another matter altogether. —— gifts. the saudi arabians are good at soft power, bankrolling institutions in our country, think tanks, cultural institutions or mps. until this scandal in turkey they'd done a good cosmeticjob of reform, giving women the right to drive, allowing people to go to the cinema, but this has set them back massively. it has echoes of russia and they'll struggle to recover from this. this all points to how difficult it's going to be, like you say, to criticise saudi arabia and really ta ke criticise saudi arabia and really take those harsh sanctions against it. we've got president trump saying that i do believe he has died, but withholding judgement until there is proof. reuters are saying samples have been collected by the turkish authorities on searches of the consulate itself. the strategic

alliances are what are really causing the problems for these governments, aren't they? there's a big geopolitical puzzle being played out here, what do you do with the middle east? what do you do with these countries? obviously, saudi is in some kind of soft wall with the qataris. we need to engage with them, but it will be interesting to see what the uk response is to this. 0k. see what the uk response is to this. ok. let's turn to the mirror and, as we've been reporting here on bbc news, crime figures are up, worryingly so. the mirror has a story of a hero dad battered to death as he confronts yobs. this happened... the particular incident on the front of the mirror and the metro happened a mile away from where my flat is in london... i know from the area that it's not indicative of something that goes across the entire borough of

wandsworth, battersea, where this is, or indeed across the whole of london. you can get a misleading view, you look at the figures and it's right, violent crime... crime overall is falling, violent crime is definitely on the increase and it shouldn't be, and everything needs to be done to try to bring it down. to give the idea that somehow london is becoming the crime capital is misleading. it does come down, in part, to money. there are very effective schemes that have operated elsewhere, and i think london is starting to adopt some of those. in glasgow there was a particularly effective one. it takes resources to do that. it's about the government providing the money, but also about local authorities, like the mayor of london, using the money wisely to tackle a specific problem... what do you think? this is where me and lance disagree, violent crime is at its highest level in london ever, there's been 15,000 incidents over there's been 15,000 incidents over the past year, more than 200 perday.

we're ina the past year, more than 200 perday. we're in a situation where we have the mayor of london saying i've done my bit openly, this is down to government cuts and that's not good enough, sadiq, show leadership, you are emboldening criminals by saying this. the criminals need to feel under pressure, not the victims. this will be a key issue and a key battleground for the next mayoral collection in london. the telegraph, i still haven't got my head around this story, the daily telegraph, sailor shortage leaves frigates stuck in port. not enough work for them, deployments... as the headline says, it's a lack of manpower and woman power as well, i suppose, to a lesser extent. we've seen stories about the recruitment problems for the army, now it's clearly affecting the army, now it's clearly affecting the navy. it's only a short one on the navy. it's only a short one on the telegraph, it doesn't go into the telegraph, it doesn't go into the details and the explanation. i

suspect one explanation for it is whatever you think of the economic situation that we're facing, we have very high levels of employment, low levels of unemployment, and i think that does create in itself... whether or not it's about the money to pay them being available, i think the money is available to pay the armed services, they're just desperate for people to take those jobs. it comes at an interesting time with the geopolitical landscape, putin is increasing his presence on the seas, there are reports this is down to cuts, lance's take on it is interesting but it's worrying because we need to be showing a strong force, a strong presence in these situations.|j suspect we'll be seeing a recruitment drive coming from the royal navy soon! ok, the times. this isa royal navy soon! ok, the times. this is a story that really got my attention. just at the bottom of the front page, and it is the new case of mad cow disease... not cjd but

mad cow disease, it's been picked up inafarm mad cow disease, it's been picked up in a farm in aberdeenshire. the first case for a long time. they say it hasn't entered the human food chain, but clearly quite disturbing. we've been through this whole story before in the late 1990s, early 20005, before in the late 1990s, early 2000s, saw how much it damaged the beef industry. same as... foot and mouth rather than mad cow disease, mad cow disease was more in the 19805? the mad cow disease was more in the 1980s? the interesting picture of john, with the burger. that was in the 1980s. the john, with the burger. that was in the 19805. the cjd john, with the burger. that was in the 1980s. the cjd report came out at the beginning of 2000. but it was in the 1980s, as you say. there's obviously a big pr issue here at play about how do you reassure that sector, that industry and i think the backdrop of brexit isn't great for them. i think it looks like a bad news headline but i think it's a

good news headline. in what way? because the checks are there, and thenit because the checks are there, and then it happened last time, the checks weren't there and we didn't have the scrutiny to pick this up very early on —— when it happened. both foot and mouth and bse, mad cow disease, there are much more stringent checks now, regular checks on cattle and it's worked. it's identified the case, it's been isolated and the risk of a spread is minimal. i suspect the village, the market town in leicestershire, which became the focus of the story in the 19805, it became the focus of the story in the 1980s, it had a huge cluster of the human form of this, they will be watching very closely because they still bear the burden of this, so you can imagine the local community in aberdeenshire will be watching very closely and hoping it doesn't go further. and, like you say, the checks are in place. let's turn to

the star. as you can see, i am suffering from a cold. and it is about kleenex, no longer man—size. what do you make of this, they have had to rebrand. my take on this is that real men don't use tissues anyway. what do they use? if they are not a new man, anyway. what do they use? if they are nota new man, i anyway. what do they use? if they are not a new man, i have anyway. what do they use? if they are nota new man, i have a anyway. what do they use? if they are not a new man, i have a horrible hankie in my pocket. use cotton hankies? the real and new man uses a bit of toilet paper, because that brea ks bit of toilet paper, because that breaks down instantly on this stuff doesn't. it does feel like a bit of a cosmetic pr stunt. i am a bit cynical on this one, i have to say. why? well, i don't really think this isa why? well, i don't really think this is a big burning issue, but it is a good talking point and they have got the front pages. it started in the 19505, i

the front pages. it started in the 1950s, i have been doing my research, when men used hankies, so they wanted a disposable alternative, which is where the name man size came in. it stays strong even when it is wet, apparently, was the tagline they were advertising. whereas now they are just extra large. so that is the background. we will end with the telegraph. let's go back to the telegraph, and the cartoon. you have got to love that. he is always good, and we often refer to it on the paper review, but this one is especially good. mad cow found in scotland, and you can tell he is mad, because he is carrying a banner, or sheed, which says back chequers plan. —— she.

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, lance price and giles kenningham. and that's all from us. thank you for watching, and goodbye. hello from me, hugh ferris. the football association has urged police to tackle abuse on social media after rape and death threats were made to england midfielder karen carney. carney received the messages on instagram after chelsea's champions league win over fiorentina, in which she was subtituted here after scoring the winning goal. the user has been removed from the social media site, with the fa saying it is appalled and dismayed. carney will not be

reporting it to police. the death of former aston villa player dalian atkinson has been referred to the crown prosecution service. he was tasered by officers at his father's house in august 2016 in telford, and later died. the independent office for police conduct has now passed the matter on to the cps, who will consider potential criminal charges against two police officers. luke shaw has signed a new five—year contract at manchester united. it is a big turnaround for shaw, who was heavily criticised by boss jose mourinho last season. but he has made the left—back spot his own, and is back in the england reckoning, too. he has been rewarded with a new contract worth around £150,000 a week. the formula one drivers‘ championship could be wrapped up this weekend if lewis hamilton can collect eight points more than sebastian vettel at the us grand prix. a result like that in austin would bring a fifth world title for hamilton, taking him level with the greatjuan manuel fangio. hamilton would sitjoint second in the all—time list,

behind only michael schumacher, who has seven. he also trails the german's record number of 91 race victories by 20. michael's stats are incredible, and i'm still quite a long way away. but iam here i'm still quite a long way away. but i am here for sometimes still, so i'm just going to keep working hard and keep doing what i do, and what i love, and i enjoy it, and we will see where it takes us. ronnie o'sullivan continued the defence of his english open title with another comfortable win in croydon. this trick shot frame—winner helped him on the way to a 4—1win over scotland's eden sharav. o'sullivan will play a rising star from china next. luo honghao beat neil robertson li—2 this evening to set up a quarter—final meeting. british number onejohanna konta has reached her first semi—final since june, and just her second of the year. she beat world number 31 aliaksandra sasnovich in three sets at the kremlin cup in moscow.

she will play russian sixth seed daria kasatkina in the last four. eddiejones says england number eight nathan hughes deeply regrets a tweet that contributed to an additional two—week ban that has ruled him out of three of the autumn internationals. hughes was banned for four weeks for a punch, but had his suspension increased after tweeting "what a joke" in apparent reaction to the charges. hughes‘s absence is one of a number that eddiejones has had to deal with, so he has turned to gloucester number eight ben morgan, who is included for the first time for three years. but there is no place for his club team—mate danny cipriani. there are also eight uncapped players included, butjones insists the injuries that have deprived him of so many don't point to wider issues within the game. oh, no, i've seen it before. look, people used to say it

in the early 20005 when we got a string of injuries, and people said the game was getting too tough, and too physical. we go through these cycles and you have runs, for some reason. no—one knows why it happens, science can't explain it, it just happens, and it'll rectify itself. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that is bbc. co. uk/sport. hello there. well, for many of us we had quite a bit of sunshine around on thursday, but after that sunny start to the day, we have seen the clear skies lasting well into the evening and overnight, allowing temperatures to plummet. in rave nsworth temperatures to plummet. in ravensworth in north england, temperatures nipped below freezing. for england, wales, and parts of scotla nd for england, wales, and parts of scotland and wales northern ireland

as well, temperatures down. the breeze picking up over the next few hours. some milder air, breeze picking up over the next few hours. some milderair, a breeze picking up over the next few hours. some milder air, a lot of cloud, outbreaks of rain pushing into western scotland whereas further south we will keep the clear skies. there will still be some patches of frost in the countryside, especially for northern england, one or two patches in wales, and elsewhere in the countryside. where we start of cold there will be plenty of sunshine. notice our band of rain quite quickly eases off in scotland. as it pushes southwards during the day, just a lump of cloud, really, across northern ireland, and also the north of wales. a few spots of rain on it but not much. dry with some sunshine, highs of 17 in london and not bad at all for this time of year. as we look at the weather forecast through friday night, we will keep that combination of clear skies and light winds through england and wales. the chilly night in the countryside, a few patches of frost around, but also the potential for some fog to form. especially across places like

the somerset levels, and around the salisbury plain as well. for some of you the weekend will start off a bit like this, a grey and foggy start. that fog taking a few hours to clear away but eventually we will see some sunshine coming out. a fine day across england and wales. further north, some rain across the west of scotla nd north, some rain across the west of scotland but with south—westerly winds, some pretty warm air. temperatures 16 or 17 degrees for eastern scotland. for northern ireland, maybe 18 for south—east england. the second half of the weekend staying fine for england and wales, this time in scotland a spell of heavy rain, also in the northern ireland. it will get quite windy as well. mist and fog could again be a problem further south initially, but there will be some sunshine coming through. temperature—wise, 11i there will be some sunshine coming through. temperature—wise, 1a or 15 degrees for scotland and northern ireland, those temperatures just edging down a bit. 17 degrees the south—east england, but as a cold

front eases through, that will drop the temperatures. even somewhere like london by monday will be down to about 13 celsius. enjoy the mild weather over the next few days. it will get cooler for weather over the next few days. it will get coolerfor all of weather over the next few days. it will get cooler for all of us by monday. that's your weather. i'm mariko oi in singapore, the headlines — the pressure on saudi arabia is ramping up. president trump says it ‘certainly looks' like the missing journalist, jamal khashoggi is dead and there will be consequences. well, it would have to be very severe. it's bad, bad stuff. we'll see what happens. another summit ends with no sign of a brexit breakthrough. theresa may suggests the uk could stay tied to the eu for longer than planned. i'm kasia madera in london. also in the programme — the wife of interpol‘s former

president, meng hongwei, speaks to the bbc, weeks after he was detained in china. # in the name of love.
