10:30 pm
still feeling mild. 1a to 16 celsius. that is the top temperature on wednesday afternoon. by the end of the week, we lose those mild autumn conditions and replace it with something much colder. see how those blue colours start to develop. a cold snap by the end of the week. temperatures really taking a dive with a strong northerly wind and we could see some snow on northern hills. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. the uk, france and germany have issued a joint statement condemning the death of the journalist jamal khashoggi inside the saudi consulate in istanbul "in the strongest possible terms". the brexit secretary dominic raab says the uk could agree to extend the brexit transition period by about three months, but only if the eu drops its demand for a northern ireland "backstop", guaranteeing no hard border in all circumstances. russia criticises president
10:31 pm
trump's decision to pull out of a landmark nuclear—weapons treaty, calling it unacceptable and dangerous. ryanair says it has reported footage to police which shows one of its passengers being racially abusive to a black woman on board a flight to stansted airport. the click team meet the japan scientists who landed moving rovers on to the surface of a 1km—wide asteroid. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejoe twyman, director of deltapoll, and henry zeffman, political correspondent for the times. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the financial
10:32 pm
leads on president trump's decision to withdraw from the intermediate nuclear forces treaty, with moscow warning that the move is "dangerous" for global security. the independent‘s front page is an exclusive, that claims more than 40,000 flats across the uk have a systemic structural flaw that puts them at risk of collapse. it comes from research done in the wake of the grenfell tower disaster. the metro reports on the attacks made by conservative mps on theresa may, after she conceded the uk's transition period out of the eu could be extended "by a matter of months". the times says things could get even worse for the prime minister, with a warning that she faces a rebellion by more than a0 of her mps if she does not bow to new demands from brexiteers in the next 48 hours. the guardian's front page sees things
10:33 pm
a little more positively — its front page reports that the prime minister will tell the commons tomorrow that 95% of the brexit withdrawal agreement is done. 0n front pages, and let's start with the guardian. despite the personal attacks and so on, theresa may will tell mps the deal is 95% done. good news, henry. certainly most of her mps would not recognise that, if not the percentage it self, the kind of sunny optimism. the 95% isjust percentage it self, the kind of sunny optimism. the 95% is just 95% of the withdrawal agreement, so that is before you even get to the more thorny question of what kind of relationship the uk will have with the eu once it has left. the other thing important to stress is the 5%
10:34 pm
includes the issue of the northern irish border. i don't know how they got to 5%... i'm not sure they would reduce it is j small figure. certainly in the top percentile fraught situations. it is hard to see theresa may and government are any closer to a solution. interesting to see this positive take. yes, it seems to me theresa may and the government are trying to appeal to the kind of people who perhaps are not paying attention to the minute details of this issue. around one in five people thinks the negotiations are going anything but badly. generally speaking the broad idea is that it is not going well and it is getting worse and getting more difficult. they hope to influence that views somewhat. but it isa influence that views somewhat. but it is a difficultjob influence that views somewhat. but it is a difficult job and influence that views somewhat. but it is a difficultjob and as henry said, the last 5%, you need the full 100% in order for it to work. the
10:35 pm
la st 5% 100% in order for it to work. the last 5% is tough. interesting we had dominic bradley the brexit secretary suggesting the transition period could be delayed —— dominic raab. if that was a solution instead of the thorny problem of the backstop, holding things up. even the comments from dominic raab, broader difficulties theresa may has, getting the deal to her cabinet. that is more hardline than the kind of position which we seem to think downing street is pushing. downing street want to extend the transition as a way of making it less likely that the backstop, which is what the eu wants to pose as he set of arrangements, great now, if the deal all collapses... and extended transition, downing street say, would make it less likely to reply. the idea of the eu will not insist on a backstop is for the birds. theresa may knows this. dominic raab knows this as
10:36 pm
well which makes it interesting, him saying this. if you were a critic of the situation, you would say it is a child on a school saying, i would like a hole extension if i get to do fewer questions. an odd situation, and how the —— iwould fewer questions. an odd situation, and how the —— i would like a extension on my home work, a child at school. then getting frustrated at the length of time being taken. correct, a whole host of people believe we should get on with it. whether that is a hard brexit or soft brexit or however, they don't mind but they want a real brexit and as sooi'i as mind but they want a real brexit and as soon as possible. also there are even conservative parliamentary party people, mps not so parliamentary party people, mps not so blase about the consequences of just getting out now, but they are impatient for any progress. theresa may or anyone they replace with, to grasp the ball by its horns and set out clearly what the uk relationship with the eu will be like. theresa may talking about extending a transition does not satisfy this
10:37 pm
desire in public but also in her own party to actually get on and sort this out. indeed, and the metro picks up on that. nasty party rounds on may. 0ver that. nasty party rounds on may. over the weekend we had all kinds of very aggressive quotes, most of them unsourced, from conservative mps talking about their own prime minister and party leader. some of the language, theresa may entering the killing zone. she keeps going like a layman cockroach in an irradiated environment and the moment is coming when the night gets heated and stuck in her front and twisted. she will be dead soon. these are from her own team. itjust emphasises the difficult situation that she is in. at the same time, at i'io that she is in. at the same time, at no stage is the detail behind this. at no stage is there actually this person and this person in place... there is no obvious replacement.
10:38 pm
there is no obvious replacement. there is no clear person with a clear plan. ina sense, clear plan. in a sense, that has enabled her to stay in power so far, that any of the potential future contenders do not quite one to take over, and nobody wants to be the one who wields the knife, to use their own language. that is correct, although certainly being around westminster over the last weeks, i have detected, and others have, a shift in the mood from tory mps accepting that they think she is rubbish but the best they have, to saying, actually, really, could anyone else be actually worse than this? people have been talking online through today, i know who the anonymous mp using this line which is, or i suspect it is this person... jimmy, reporting westminster, the astonishing thing is i can think of dozens astonishing thing is i can think of d oze ns of astonishing thing is i can think of dozens of tory mps angry enough in such visceral terms that they would say these things. for theresa may he only needs 48 mps to force a vote of confidence in leadership, that is a
10:39 pm
dangerous place to be. pa rt of dangerous place to be. part of the reason people voted for brexit in some cases was they were disappointed and dissatisfied with the political class. this does nothing to improve the reputation. we move on. other stories... the financial times picks up on this really horrendous tale of the death ofjamal really horrendous tale of the death of jamal khashoggi. erdogan threatens to reveal the full details of the death of khashoggi, assuming he knows what they are. he implies he does know any plans to reveal it later in the week. all the i'iews reveal it later in the week. all the news coming out of turkey is that they have some sort of intelligence and it is unclear how they came to this intelligence. it indicates they know what happened to him. turkey does not like saudi arabia one bit, and so any attempt they can do to disrupt saudi arabia will be seen as popular. the western leaders are
10:40 pm
quite rightly questioning saudi arabia over this. saudi arabia is coming up with various different lines on their explanation for this. interesting watching how publicly saudi arabia's story has changed day by day, and they now admit khashoggi did die in their consulate in istanbul, although the story has changed on howl. what is fascinating is trying to work out what erdogan‘s game is. nobody believes he is motivated by genuine horror at what happened to the journalist. saudi are the main ally of america in the region and erdogan is trying to drive a wedge between donald trump and his son—in—law jared drive a wedge between donald trump and his son—in—lanared kushner, who developed a strong relationship with the crown prince of saudi arabia. he is going to be fascinating, the geopolitical ramifications being huge. we had a strongly worded statement
10:41 pm
from the uk, france, germany and others. none of them have yet said what if anything they are prepared to do in terms of confronting the saudi arabian authorities. the germans have said they will not sell any more arms to saudi arabia until there is an explanation. that is the weakest possible response. there is no doubt saudi arabia are hugely strategically important to a lot of western countries, not just the us and britain. but how that relationship moves is very difficult to say. of course, the whole situation of the war in yemen as well... in some ways this is potentially the straw that breaks the camel's back. it may also be brushed under the carpet for political expediency reasons. another story on the front page of the ft, hammond plans to lift offshore gaming tax deals on casino groups. what is this about? 0ne groups. what is this about? one of the most successful campaigns
10:42 pm
of recent years was the move to dramatically cut the maximum state people could gamble on fixed odds betting terminals, —— maximum sta kes. betting terminals, —— maximum stakes. the government announced earlier this year it would come down from £100 tojust earlier this year it would come down from £100 to just £2. earlier this year it would come down from £100 tojust £2. at earlier this year it would come down from £100 to just £2. at the time philip hammond the chancellor said the minister responsible for it, thatis the minister responsible for it, that is fine but we must make the shortfall up for the exchequer elsewhere. that shortfall, it seems, will be made up again by a tax on gambling, this time profits made by offshore gambling companies, gambling companies registered offshore. interesting to watch over recent yea rs offshore. interesting to watch over recent years the move from how the government sees gambling. i remember the labour government, the new labour government talking about setting up super casinos to regenerate certain cities in the north. now there is a dramatic shift and more knowledge of the psychological problems gambling addiction can present... this is
10:43 pm
clearly going to be a key feature of the government. head of the budget in eight days' time, were somehow philip hammond has got to raise the estimated £20 billion extra to pay for the promises made around things like the nhs. this will raise some money but if you are losing 400 million from the fixed odds betting and you are gainingi the fixed odds betting and you are gaining 1 billion from this, that is only 600 million more and you must find more money. in public opinion terms, raising taxes is difficult. and not easy to get it from offshore companies either. for now, thank you both very much indeed, gentlemen. that is it for the papers this hour. join henry will be back at 11:30pm for another look at the papers. next on bbc news it's click. woman on radio:
10:44 pm
all systems are ready. ignition. japan has just done something amazing. it has flown a spaceship to a 1km—wide near—earth asteroid called ryugu to do some incredible science. this is hayabusa2. it has just deployed three rovers onto ryugu's surface — the german and french mascot probe on 3 october, and before that, the japanese minerva ii robot. their mission: to measure temperature and magnetic properties,
10:45 pm
and take photos of the surface. and amazingly, this is how they get about. yep, they bounce. i have come to the japanese aerospace exploration agency, jaxa, to meet the team who designed the mission and try and get my head around this bonkers mode of transport. in summary, this hops off the surface of an asteroid, it jumps about 10—15 metres into space, it stays... off the surface for about 15 minutes, and then comes back down... bounce and bounce and bounce. the images already returned by the minerva ii bots are wowing the world, but the risks they face are high. we did not have much
10:46 pm
budget, so we did not use very expensive devices. the rover hops and then bounce and bounce, so in that moment, the mechanicalfailure would happen, so something was broken. so this is a replica of hayabusa2. and believe it or not, deploying the landers is not even the coolest thing that this is going to do, in my opinion — because this is going to land on the asteroid, take a soil sample, and then take off again. which i think is absolutely incredible. the first attempted landing is hopefully going to happen very soon — by the end of october. and then a little later, a second landing will collect more soil. if we can get the organic matter, we can study what kind of organic matter were exist,
10:47 pm
when the earth was born. now... that is a model of hayabusa2 there. it looks very delicate to me, and you are going to try and land that on an asteroid. what are the risks, and what is the most risky part? there are lots of boulders. big and small. we cannot find a wide area with no boulders. so that is our main issue. assuming all does go well, next year hayabusa2 is going to go one better and try to collect soil from under the surface. and it is going to do that by using an explosive to blow a hole in the asteroid! and then, in one final heroic act of science, it is going to fly back to earth and return the soil samples to jaxa
10:48 pm
scientists, possibly to help them unlock the secrets of life itself. we don't know where the life was born. it may be on the earth, or it may be in the universe. we don't know that. so we want to study the original organic matter that exist when the solar system was born. thank you very much for your time. very best of luck. thank you very much. he is going to land a space ship on an asteroid and then take off and fly back to earth! now, every year in october, the tech world turns its attention to ceatec, japan's big tech show, which is a fascinating glimpse into the direction this country is taking its innovation. this is notjust another tech expo.
10:49 pm
it is quirky. yes, that is a sort of green pea alexa. and how about replacing alarm clocks with blowing air from the ceiling to wake us up? even though you don't like to be woken up. it is like somebody quietly going... he laughs so it is just a question of us finding what we think could be the next big thing. you know what it is like. you are stuck behind a car and you can't overtake, because, you just can't see beyond that vehicle. well, this car might be able to help you. it is fitted with a demonstration of a new technology called xtravue, and it means that you can see through the car ahead using its camera rather than yours. the vision of makers valeo is that the live stream from cameras in our cars will be available to everyone within a certain area. the forthcoming 5g cell network will make this tech more workable.
10:50 pm
imagine not having to guess what it could possibly be that's holding you up. horn honks. lucky escape! here is another angle on cars from mitsubishi. as the viewer changes position, so the car and lighting effects shift with them. obviously the car would not move like this in real life. what it would do is that as you move around it, the lighting and reflections would change, and that is what this is trying to demonstrate. the hope in the future is that it can be used on billboards so that the objects within them glint and shine as you pass by, as if they were really there. but you had better hope it is a quiet street because at the moment it only works with one person. does it look as though the headlights are following you around the room? look up and see how natural these skylights look.
10:51 pm
up until now, if you wanted a fake window, the fitting would contain either a blue light or blue glass or perspex. there is actually no blue light behind here, it is just two white leds either side, with suspended diffusers, mitsubishi describes them as, in between, to replicate the way that natural light comes through the atmosphere. they won't give us any more information, and they say it is about 2—5 years away before something like this could be installed in our homes, hospitals, or maybe even the underground, to give us a little bit of extra natural light. it is almost like i am expecting to see outside! japan is on the cusp of a tv first. this is sharp's very impressive second generation 8k tv on sale next month. but the real news is that the broadcasting of 8k starts on the 1st of december this year
10:52 pm
by the national broadcaster, nhk, so there will be something to watch. now another thing that might be of interest to japan's ageing population are these. they may look like normal glasses, but if i press the touch sensor on the side, you may have seen a little flash, and what that was was liquid crystals inside the glasses shifting orientation and changing the focus, meaning it's easier to see things close up, just like bifocals. now, the upside of these is that you can then turn them off and goes back to your regular prescription. and we'll finish with something mind blowing, eye—popping, and jawdropping. i can't even walk in. it's messing with my perspective. this is borderless,
10:53 pm
the latest otherworldly experience from digital art collective teamlab. this amazing space is their first permanent home in 0daiba in tokyo. a 10,000 square metre magical transcendent world of projected art that's never the same twice. this is just astonishing. it really is alive. the exhibits react to your presence and your touch. nothing is just played on loop. everything is changing and reacting all the time. behind the scenes, 520 computers and 470 projectors bring to life the work of cg! artists, engineers, and architects. some of the artjust doesn't stay put. characters leave their point
10:54 pm
of origin and wander into other rooms and across other works. visitors even get their chance to add their own art to the exhibition. colour an animal, scan it in, and it comes to life, joining the user generated menagerie that is flying, swimming, and crawling the floors and walls. the other reason it's called borderless — thanks to all the mirrors some of the works seem to go on forever. it's certainly a place where time becomes irrelevant, until you really have to leave. and that is it from japan for this week. i cannot think of a better way to end the programme. don't forget, we live on facebook and on twitter and we will put up loads of backstage photos and videos there.
10:55 pm
the address is @bbcclick. thank you so much for watching. we will see you soon. for those in the channel islands, sunshine. and for those in the southern counties of england, blue skies. not a cloud here in the sky. further in the north, the weakening cold front. more cloud, patchy light rain and drizzle into northern england, wales... that continues overnight. by this stage, just a band of cloud. it clears south—east england after midnight.

behind it, clearer skies, showers for northern and western scotland. windy here, 50 to 60mph. a cold night for northern ireland, scotland and northern england. temperatures close to freezing. windy in the far north—west of scotland. outbreaks of rain for 0rkney and shetland may fringe the northern highlands. it may fringe the northern highlands. much of scotland, northern ireland, england and wales, a fine and dry start the new week. a good deal of sunshine. windy for the northern and western isles, gusts of 60 these being the average strength. 12 celsius across scotland, england and wales. a cooler feel. 10 or 11 celsius in the far north of scotland. for most, a fine end to the day tomorrow. that breeze will strengthen further. more persistent rain pushing into tuesday, courtesy of this front. still that squeeze in the iso bars. windy conditions. a more north—westerly wind. moisture in the air.
10:57 pm
more cloud. outbreaks of rain for western and northern scotland. more dry the further east you are. a cloudy day in northern ireland and northern england. the best of the sunshine further south and east. temperatures up to 16 or 17 celsius. as we pick up that moister air on wednesday, more cloud down england and wales. while most of the uk dry, there will be more cloud around. still feeling mild. 14 to 16 celsius. that is the top temperature on wednesday afternoon. by the end of the week, we lose those mild autumn conditions and replace it with something much colder. those blue colours start to develop. a cold snap by the end of the week. temperature is really taking a dive with a strong northerly wind and we could see some snow on northern hills. this is bbc news i'm carole walker. the headlines at 11pm. the uk, france and germany issue a joint statement condemning the killing ofjournalist,
