11:30 pm
fronts around, particularly in the north, but under that high of course at this time of year the downside is frost and fog, and some of the fog could be quite dense on saturday morning, sunday morning alike and it can at this time of year be late morning to lunchtime before it finally clears away. these dense patches make it quite hazardous if you are travelling. it is a different story further north, it will start in eastern scotland down to the south and it becomes quite warm but we do have is whether front ringing some rain across the coast and hills of scotland, hill fog for many, not a great day to take to the hills. the high—pressure, the weather front is still with us and has moved to sunday, it becomes more act it as it moves more rain in gci’oss act it as it moves more rain in across scotland into northern ireland, eventually northern england and north wales as well, but the problems in the morning with some frost and quite dense fog again first thing sunday, but once that clears away and that there is sunshine around the coast, it will be quite warm inland, but you can whether front is making be quite warm inland, but you can whetherfront is making progress further south which allows brighter skies to the north and some showers.
11:31 pm
behind that whether front slipping out next week across the low countries is a strong area of high pressure, this is really quite a strong high—pressure, so that is pressure into roundabout ioao, it will stay put for a while. you can see it move the jet stream to the north of us, but as it does so that jetstrea m north of us, but as it does so that jetstream starts turn more to the north and west, so it is introducing somewhat colder air, while at the same time it is keeping our weather front of eight, wishing them southwards into the mediterranean instead. for ourselves as we move into monday we clear that initially light cloud and patchy rain in the south, what is left of it, and then we start to see a north—westerly bringing that wayne —— rain and whether front of the north, temperatures are a little lower than the weekend because we are introducing that slightly cooler north—westerly sdram. the high—pressure stays with us through tuesday and wednesday, there is a low pressure in the mediterranean i talked about, up with the
11:32 pm
high—pressure close to the south and west, always staying dry here while west, always staying dry here while we are likely to see rain or showers certainly in northern and eastern areas, the north—westerly again keeping those temperatures a little pegged back on those, only by two or three degrees, and if you are outside the window and sunshine will feel present. the type —— tightly packed isobars in northern and eastern areas indicative of some stronger winds. on wednesday it is a similar story, showers and clad in the north and east, elsewhere we have that breeze, early frost, a little bit of fog around, but in the sunshine outside the wind it will feel pleasant enough. and we see change later in the week, just watch how this cold air starts to plunge its way southwards, and that is as we pick up a northerly wind, a real blast of cold air, strong winds pushing that cold air with some snow potentially across this on a —— the alps, the pyrenees and in scandinavia. we could see some
11:33 pm
showers in northern and eastern areas are a significant will chill, —— windchill, but some decent spells of sunshine away from the north and the east. hello. this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. the breaking news this evening. saudi state media has confirmed that the journalist jamal khashoggi was killed in saudi arabia's consulate in istanbul. 20 men are found guilty of being part of a grooming gang that abused girls as young as 11
11:34 pm
in and around huddersfield. on one occasion she came home and her neck was completely black with bites from one side to another. a taxi had just pulled up outside pushed her out. radical islamist preacher anjem choudary is released from prison on licence and is now at a bail hostel at least 60 people have been killed in northern india when a train crashed into crowds watching a religious festival. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are jason beattie, head of politics at the daily mirror, and anna isaac, who's the economics and trade correspondent for the daily telegraph. a lot of news coming up. some
11:35 pm
breaking news. which we will discuss ina breaking news. which we will discuss in a moment. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. let's start with the daily mail, and the claim that one of the men suspected of killing journalist jamal khashoggi travelled to the uk, and even visited downing street in march as part of the security detailfor the saudi crown prince. the top story on the i is that new scanning techniques could provide a breakthrough in alzheimer's care, allowing more tailored treatment. the times lead is the attack by former senior civil servants on leading brexiteers, accusing them of undermining the integrity of whitehall. the daily mirror features a bitter dispute over a lottery win. the daily telegraph leads with the warning from councils that the rising cost of recycling household plastic waste means many can no longer afford
11:36 pm
to offer the service. the financial times reports that the boss of facebook spent many months trying to persuade the former deputy prime minister nick clegg to head up the social media giant's communications team. the daily express claims the newly released radical preacher anjem choudry will ‘wage war‘ on the uk. and finally the guardian says saudi arabia has been spending millions with uk pr firms in a bid to boost the kingdom's image abroad. obviously two of those papers on that story will have slightly changed after the news that has just broken. let us start with that, jason and anna, the daily mail talks about the so—called hitman that was sent to number 10. let us update viewers on the news we have got. we
11:37 pm
have had confirmation from saudi state tv that jamal khashoggi is indeed dead and he did die within the consulate and he died following a fight that had broken out with people, that is all we are being told, that he had met at the consulate. that is all we are being told in terms of how he died, or confirming his death. two people have lost their jobs confirming his death. two people have lost theirjobs and that includes the royal advisor, a gentleman calls saud al-qahtani and the deputy intelligence chief ahmed al—assiri. we first heard his name being mentioned last night. this is the latest in the story. what now? anah, do you want to kick us off about? the copy will be tweaked. i think the daily mail's headline in this context is very strong. we were already saying earlier that what they have cleverly done is they have taken this diplomatic row and really
11:38 pm
force the leaders by putting it in numberio, by force the leaders by putting it in number 10, by putting force the leaders by putting it in numberio, by putting it force the leaders by putting it in number 10, by putting it in the seat of power, connecting us to that, forcing us to come out quite strongly. jeremy hunt this morning was saying we will you think carefully about how we handle it. make it clear that the process, the transparent process expected to be gone through. this will put a lot of pressed up on the saudis to open up the events that led to this death —— a lot of pressure. and be very frank about what happened. do you think is now ta kes about what happened. do you think is now takes the pressure off a lot of western governments, say the uk, and certainly the us, in terms of the sanctions they take? we have here two people who are affectively, according to saudi arabian state tv and the reuters news agency, you know, as we understand it, they could be to blame for it?|j know, as we understand it, they could be to blame for it? i think it is far too early to make that
11:39 pm
assumption. you have almost got a really dark comedy hill. this idea that there was a fight. this is one innocent journalist to accidentally fell on someone's torture and was butchered is quite sick. this smacks to me of the saudis are belatedly waking upto what has happened and i'iow waking upto what has happened and now doing everything they can to close it down —— waking up to. this has got huge political issues. the saudis are a big trading partner of america and of us. politicians now have to start making judgement calls oi'i have to start making judgement calls on how long they can continue to put profits before principles. they think, for a long time, there has been anxiety about why we are so close to saudi arabia. you can go from its state sponsorship of terrorism, probably the biggest
11:40 pm
country in the world who does that. you have the war in yemen, it is a cruised —— accused of war crimes. we are selling arms to help propagate that war. you have an abysmal human rights record. licola poem has been jailed. and journalists being murdered in the consulates. —— opponents being jailed. we have to say is this a partner we want to continue doing business with? but a lot of the government split was hands are tied. just listening to what you are saying, this is what saudi arabia has meant a loss of money and it returned to the guardian... governments'. it is the image of the country. let me play devils advocate. as far as the king is concerned, he has saved face. it was not me. this is sorted out now. can we move on? diplomatically resolved. i think it will be a
11:41 pm
tougher sell given how events are played out through the week to say that the culpability can be padded elsewhere and the proximity of these associates makes this challenging —— can be handed off elsewhere. i think what it will show is that this situation, we have known about some of the complications with saudi behaviour for a of the complications with saudi behaviourfor a very long of the complications with saudi behaviour for a very long time. this isn't new. we still see it as a very important trading partner. we see ourselves as being able to play a big role in diversifying its economy away from oil. it is an oiled appointment country. when the oil price fell it struggled to work out what it would do —— oil dependent company. we did a lot to make that work. it will be hard for government and for some of the pr companies listed in the guardian's piece to
11:42 pm
continually defend their collaboration with the regime if events escalate further surrounding his death. just to finish this. an update from reuters. it has been reported that king salman has ordered a restructuring. so he is being seen to make the latest moves to sort this out and get a handle on it. he is restructuring the command of the general intelligence agency and also an order has gone out saying that he wants regulations updated determining the agency's powers and evaluating its methods and procedures. so sort of saying i did not know what was going on. this isa did not know what was going on. this is a country like a mediaeval kingdom. king salman can make this announcement, but it is like saying because the torture did not take place in my dungeon but in that of another castle i own, because of
11:43 pm
what we have got, he has spent the la st two what we have got, he has spent the last two years trying to present an image, using the pr companies mentioned in the guardian, to present an image of his country which is not true. he has done some cosmetic reforms, some of which were welcomed, like women driving, but it is still a very repressive regime. i don't think the rather synthetic way he is trying to present his country's modernisation is watching. the whole problem with is jamal khashoggi case is it has blown apart the fallacy. looking at donald trump's to do the. nothing yet in terms of reaction. he kept saying i will wait and see. waiting to see what he will start at 2am in the morning. we turn to be independent. the grooming trail, 20 menjailed for 220 years. the stories talk
11:44 pm
about how the trial was almost derailed by tommy robinson. what i would like to get from both of you are the larger issues that this trial raised. i think the biggest thing to watch is 15 victims from 2004- 2011, the thing to watch is 15 victims from 2004— 2011, the timeframe is indicative of a real failure to see what is happening in communities, particularly rural communities. huddersfield follows rather, oxfordshire, we know it is they are. but the problem is that for all the initiatives that are feeding through the social work system to see the science we have a problem seeing young teenage girls as women who are making decisions and that is an issue. jason. i agree. your first
11:45 pm
thoughts are with the victims. then you have to wonder why it keeps happening. one of the issues you have got is a serious question about what is happening in our communities, we are not observing it, and why aren't the authorities, and organisations like the local press, why aren't they able to keep an eye on, i —— observe what is happening? this is happening on the margins of quite big towns, but it isa margins of quite big towns, but it is a must world. that worries me deeply. it raises questions about community relations and about how our whole town doesn't —— towns and cities are structured. and the need for integration. it is an exploitable narrative. it is useful for some elements in the far right. we have seen that with the language used by likes —— the likes of tommy robinson. we have to be so careful
11:46 pm
of being able to criticise behaviour without allowing it to become a fit for everyone we let's move quickly to the times. i will give this eu quickly. we have three former cabinet secretaries, following on from a letter to the times earlier this week, criticising the way that racketeers are attacking the officials in particular lee robbins who is the prime minister's main official responsible for delivering brexit. we have three more waiting in and saying "back off". this is long—standing public servants trying to do their best with the rather
11:47 pm
appalling instructions from politicians and they are not at —— not able to answer back, that is one of the things about civil servants, they are politically neutral. the thing that strikes you most about this is how that health —— brexit is —— brexiteers are attacking some of the best institutions we have. first they came to the judges, then they went for the bbc, and you have to wonder, given that they want an independent britain why are they so busy trying to undermine the institutions that we will probably need after we leave. let's turn to the ft and nick clegg is heading to california. nick clegg is going into another highly controversial partnership, a coalition this time with mark luck about. this is despite the fact that he has heavily criticise facebook and it's like in the past, facebook paid £7 million in tax last year in the uk, despite
11:48 pm
being one of the biggest companies in the world. he is going to come in for some flak and i think he is expecting that, but it is not a crazy move to facebook to have made because he is so well liked in brussels, he is very highly regarded, they are trained to deal with the regular treat issues in the eu -- with the regular treat issues in the eu —— revelatory issues. having nick clegg said to be a spokesperson to deal with those kind of brussels issues where the big data companies really have caused a lot of damage insofar as really have caused a lot of damage insofaras eu really have caused a lot of damage insofar as eu rule makers are concerned, it is a sensible move to facebook, but it is indicative of a very brave politician who does round to as very brave politician who does round toasa very brave politician who does round to as a coalition like this. let's go back to the times, a beautiful picture, i like this one, it is very colourful. the royals on bondi beach in sydney! it looks like a scene
11:49 pm
from some musical, then you realise this is the royalfamily. we are used to stuffy pictures of prince carl in his —— prince charles in his double—breasted suit, now we have a new royal family with people talk about mental health, doing yoga, it isa about mental health, doing yoga, it is a different generation. whether it will work, who knows. it is a punchy rebrand to them. there is something very sweet about the relationship that seems genuinely comfortable in public and with each other. very clever dressing by the duchess, lots of stripes, everyone is on the lookout for the bump. yes, the accession with her body, she is amazing just to carry on with all the interest in how large she is going to be an everything going on down there. invicta 's games start soon, invictus ticks off, it is today in sydney, it is the
11:50 pm
brainchild of prince harry, it will be fantastic to watch that. let's finish off with some sport, staying with the times, and it is on the back page, the end of those long, long, long matches at wimbledon. ru fans, what you make of that? what are they going to do, if i get this right, if it is 12— 12 in the final then they go to a tie—break. right, if it is 12— 12 in the final then they go to a tie-break. in line with the us open. this stops this kind of march where they go on for 30, 32 sets. the thing —— the people who would be most happy itv schedulers. you're not going to miss your paper review or whatever important thing you have to watch. i'm a little bit sad that we are going to miss the ridiculous drama, 6.5 hours was the ridiculous match we had recently, there is something amazing about the mental strength
11:51 pm
you have to get through as a viewer and asa you have to get through as a viewer and as a player, but it does make more sense i suppose, we and as a player, but it does make more sense i suppose, we can and as a player, but it does make more sense i suppose, we can get more sense i suppose, we can get more matches and avoid the rain. interestingly it was john more matches and avoid the rain. interestingly it wasjohn isner more matches and avoid the rain. interestingly it was john isner who featured in two of the longest matches, i think it wasjohn isner and nicolas mahut, it was over three days, can you imagine that. it takes some of the excitement out, doesn't that? we will stop there, jason and anna, thank you for that. 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. just repeating we have confirmation from saudi arabia thatjamal khashoggi is indeed dead and he did die in the saudi consulate in istanbul, all the papers are 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.
11:52 pm
a big thank you to my guests this evening, jason beattie from the mirror, and anna isaac from the telegraph. and from all of us, goodbye. good evening, the latest sports news. lewis hamilton's prospects of a fifth word title are looking good after he was quickest in second practice for the us grand prix in austin, texas. hamilton can secure the championship on sunday if ferrari's sebastian vettel finishes lower than second. his hopes have been further strengthened after vettel was handed a grid penalty today. with more, here's nick parrott. when it rains in formula 1 there is less fu n when it rains in formula 1 there is less fun to be found on the track. the high risk reduces the running time, fans and teams have to amuse themselves. # ijust themselves. # i just want you themselves. # ijust want you back themselves. # i just want you back for good!
11:53 pm
with a fifth world title within reach lewis hamilton was keeping his pokerface on, playing it reach lewis hamilton was keeping his poker face on, playing it safe reach lewis hamilton was keeping his pokerface on, playing it safe by staying in the garard. title rival sebastian vettel could not afford that luxury and it cost him. speeding during the red flag saw the stewards deal him a massive blow of a three place grid healthy and if that was not enough to ruin his day, hamilton rubbed his superior —— superiority in. with less than ten minutes left in the second session he ventured out and clocked the quickest time, more than five seconds ahead of the german. hamilton has won here the last four yea rs hamilton has won here the last four years and few would bet against him making it five in a row in austin to land his fifth world title. in rugby union's champions cup, a brilliant night at welford road for leicester who picked up their first win in pool 4 with a 115—27 bonus points victory over scarlets. austin halewood has the details. into the tigers den, no welsh team
11:54 pm
has won a european match in leicester before, but scarlett ‘s we re leicester before, but scarlett ‘s were confident of an upset. after all were confident of an upset. after a ll welfo rd were confident of an upset. after all welford road is not quite the stronghold it once was but the tigers roared first. harry wells under the post, for a try. pegged back by burton aggro two, leicester switched to watch they do best, their power game. —— by scarlets. i tried just before and after the break. but leicester are not quite the superpower they once were and their defence showed why, evans slipping through, chicky. minutes later fractures in the backline gifted blake thompson his second of the evening. but big games require the evening. but big games require the biggest of players, and this man is about as big as they come. he proved why he is back in anyjones' england plans, leicester comfortable in the end, the tigers up and running in europe.
11:55 pm
tie—breaks will be played at 12—12 in the final set at wimbledon from next year. it comes after the deciding set of kevin anderson's semi—final withjohn isner this year lasted almost three hours. that's prompted bosses at the all england club to act. so next year if the final set is deadlocked at 12 games all, the winner will be the first player or team to reach seven points with an advantage of two or more points. jose mourinho takes his manchester united side to face his old club chelsea in the premier league tomorrow. you might remember there was some bad blood between mourinho and the former chelsea boss antonio conte last season when united lost 4—0 and jose described conte's celebrations as "humiliating". mourinho didn't reference that today but did say he wouldn't gloat if united are successful at stamford bridge. would i celebrate, like crazy, my tea m would i celebrate, like crazy, my team goal at stamford bridge or
11:56 pm
victory at stamford bridge, i would say so. i try to control myself, to respect the stadium and the supporters that were my supporters and my stadium for many years. it is and my stadium for many years. it is a match that i want to do well for my players, for my team, for my supporters, that is what i want. i am 100% manchester united tomorrow. that's all the sport for now. you caught me off guard their little bit. this is the weather. let's have a look at the forecast for the weekend, the days are going to be a little bit foggy, both saturday and sunday. this is what it looks like through the next 20, almost 2a hours, this is first thing on saturday morning. ready chile across eastern areas, fresher in the

11:58 pm
brighter, maybe a chance of some rain across northern parts of england on sunday. sunday will see temperatures up to 17— 18 in the south—east, 14— 15 in northern areas with a little bit of sunshine. on the whole the weekend is actually looking fine. sunday into monday a weather front is moving across the uk and around this area of high pressure we will see colder air coming in, you can see the wind direction out of the north—west, there will be weather fronts floating around the far north of the country but for the rest of us monday is looking sunny and it is going to be a fresher day. rather than 18, we will see more like 13 in london, 13 in glasgow, quite uniform temperatures across the uk, much fresher by the time we get to monday. into next week is looking mainly dry with some sunshine around, fog could be a problem again, not compared to this weekend.
