11:30 pm
temperatures a couple of degrees up on monday. shelter in east and scotland, we could see up to 17 degrees and aberdeen. a windy story gci’oss degrees and aberdeen. a windy story across the northern half of the uk on tuesday, the highest hill with us in the wednesday, the isobars open somewhat as winds become lighter. lots of fine weather around, losing some of the heavier rain from the west of scotland. temperatures in the mid teens. wednesday into thursday, very little change, under the influence of high pressure. we will see a bit more rain in the front heading into the northwest of scotland. elsewhere, light winds, some mist around the first thing. some sunny spells for most areas, and temperatures around average for this time of year, 12—14d. but this weather front is what changes everything as we go thursday into friday, and the cold weather front, the clue is in the name, the cold air dates down behind it, moving into an arctic air mass, losing the
11:31 pm
mild yellow atlantic air mass into this blue arctic air mass. factoring in the winds, they will be screaming down from the north, behind that one affront not bearing too much in a way of showers, but that change in the wind direction will mean a very different feel to friday that we have been used to. temperatures in parts of northern scotland feeling close to freezing. stars getting pushed down on a mac on into the weekend to that northerly wind, all the way down into the continent, and wintry showers possible over the higher grounds, with showers around coastal regions. a big difference will be just how much colder it feels, so strong northerly winds being the defining factor of the weekend ahead. much lower temperatures than the weekend just gone. further ahead on into this time next week, we start off with that northerly flow, but eventually we will start to see the atlantic taking over. the high will break
11:32 pm
down, low pressure squeezing to the south, and milder air coming from the south. the cold snap will be relatively short—lived, 2—3 days, and then milder and more unsettled weather with longer spells of rain as we look further ahead. hello. this is bbc news. with carol walker. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment, first the headlines. theresa may updates the commons on her negotiations with the eu, labour leaderjeremy corbyn says the conservatives were "arguing with themselves", after violent language is used against the pm by some of her own mps. claims that saudi arabia used a body double to try and fool the world, after murdering the journalist jamal khashoggi. thousands of central american migrants continue their push to mexico and the us, which threatens to cut off their governments‘ foreign aid. cristiano ronaldo says
11:33 pm
the truth is coming, as he speaks publicly for the first time about the rape allegation against him. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster steve richards and camilla tominey, associate editor at the daily telegraph. most of tomorrow's front pages are now in. the guardian leads on the prime minister's plea to mps during a commons debate, in which she asked for time to deliver brexit. the times says theresa may has dismissed the eu's demands over northern ireland, in a move welcomed by tory rebels but increasing the risk of a no—deal brexit. the telegraph carries a warning from public health england, that rising antibiotic resistance
11:34 pm
is making hip and knee operations life—threatening. the daily mirror leads on the news that a man has admitted murdering the midwife, samantha eastwood. the sun also focuses on the midwife murder. but it also has a picture of the duchess of sussex in australia. the metro reports on new research, which reveals plastics, from items like throw—away water bottles, are polluting people's bodies. the same story makes the front page of the daily mail. but the paper also carries a picture of simon mayo and jo whiley, following the announcement that their radio 2 drivetime show is to end. so, a varied set of front pages. let's see what our reviewers make of it all. after the marathon sessions in the commons, iam not
11:35 pm
after the marathon sessions in the commons, i am not sure that she said anything particularly about the border. i am sure i heard her twice last week in her ministers question and when she made a statement —— and prime ministers questions, she is a lwa ys prime ministers questions, she is always asked by the dup and others about whether northern ireland could be treated separately from the rest of the uk in order to maintain a soft border. she always said as far asi soft border. she always said as far as i understand, she would not except that. that is the backstop that what europe wants so we have a backstop that what europe wants so we have a ba cksto p to that what europe wants so we have a backstop to a backstop. the whole of the uk stays in the customs union until the soft border thing is sorted in that area is still hugely contentious because obviously some tory mps want it to be time—limited but how do you guarantee a soft order in a time limit? it goes and goes and indeed we do not have that
11:36 pm
much new news to say, there is the sense of a little bit of exasperation in the lobby, and we are on exasperation in the lobby, and we are on the doorstep of brexit and we are on the doorstep of brexit and we are going over the same ground again and again without any new information being forthcoming. we know there are differing camps in the tory party and it is interesting thatjeremy the tory party and it is interesting that jeremy corbyn contracted the statement today, and so too is the opposition, the ideological divide across westminster between romaine and brexit and what is interesting about all of those stories of leadership is that all of it goes beyond that and when it comes to theresa may there are question marks over the tories competence in their public persona, we have this from johnny mercer last week and at the weekend saying actually when we go back to the public, generally the rhetoric is very much enough of all of this talk of brexit, get on with it. and concentrate on some domestic
11:37 pm
issues and that has fallen by the wayside. it is quite a convincing one regardless of whether you agree oi'i one regardless of whether you agree on brexit, if we extend the extension period, it will be more debate on how we will leave as opposed to anything else. we had dramatic and aggressive quotes from various conservative mps suggesting people are going to put the knife into theresa may and that she should bring along a news but it was all pretty polite when we got to the commons. it was totally counterproductive, whoever these excitable mps were giving these quotes. virtually every mp during this, apparently to be rheumatic commons professed her question to her with some tough questions, saying how poor they were at this language. that changes the dynamic of the parliamentary vacation and she said up thank you for your
11:38 pm
comments on language and it brought people have with her because of its. it was very counterproductive but reflects a mood because camilla says when questions were raised about the competence of leadership, it can draw anyone and. it can draw remainders in on the tory side as well as the hard—line brexiteers because it is notjust the substance of brexit, where we go around in these never—ending circles but also how it is being done and also presented. this is a point in british history where you need to kind a teacher guiding you through the craziness and whatever else she is, she is not a teacher and she is a dark and keeps at it but... she does not make it accessible to what is in many ways hard to make sense of. for all the exasperation as the clock ticks ever closer, the
11:39 pm
prospect is diminished. the rhetoric in recent days has been around previously, it was we could not possibly have a leadership election because it will take up too much time and in the last 48 hours i have been hearing talk on well you could limit it to two weeks and perhaps it will not be that distracting after all but the main brexiteer argument is that might jeopardise all but the main brexiteer argument is that mightjeopardise brexit all but the main brexiteer argument is that might jeopardise brexit as a whole and that might not happen but because she is pursuing this relentless checker agenda which they think is brexit and name only and they have a lot to lose in the leadership election and equally in the sense of not saying anything new andindeed the sense of not saying anything new and indeed from both sides, they are off the record criticising her but failing to do anything about it is making it look like they are incompetent and the rhetoric of for not saying anything new and there is
11:40 pm
a frustration with her from a journalistic sense and you get the question you get the same answer to every question and i know your colleague probably get frustrated by that. shia soldiering on and is resilient and people appreciate and see that in her that it has not been easy to negotiate with a completely intransigent eu while every party of your —— intransigent eu while every party of youi’ “ corner intransigent eu while every party of your —— corner of your party is sniping at your heels. it is hard to read what impact they will have if she comes back with a deal, does that change the mood of everything and it will be on every front page when she does this. it partly depends on what is in it. but also the very fact of doing it might change the mood. it will certainly bea change the mood. it will certainly be a moment. to have some results. it will not be the abstract backsto ps it will not be the abstract ba cksto ps to it will not be the abstract backstops to back steps to backstop. but equally if i some plotting or
11:41 pm
accidentally, they get enough signatures to trigger a vote of confidence in her, does the house of cards collapse very quickly, house of cards? there will be moments in the old next few weeks that will feel genuinely epic but there are also moments where you feel where it is also still. steady as she goes. other stories to look at. the daily telegraph, your newspaper, antibiotics, we hear a lot about that resistance but this says even routine operations are a lethal risk. a lot of those in the medical profession says that the antibiotic resistance is a biggest challenge of out resistance is a biggest challenge of ourtime and we resistance is a biggest challenge of our time and we can all except that, and my colleague wrote this piece about basic operations, hip surgery, often happens in older people and
11:42 pm
how vulnerable they can be left because the antibiotics are not fighting some of the superbugs that might be a threat to patients in hospitals. huge concerns from a pa re ntal hospitals. huge concerns from a parental and not just journalistic perspective, do not prescribe antibiotics for viruses and stuff, at the same time that isjuxtaposed with the idea that 60% of all antibiotics are given in farming and are we ingesting them involuntarily anyway, there is a massive debate thatis anyway, there is a massive debate that is raging but it is one that is over shadowed by other things like the b word. i do not want to do this at work but there are so many political journalists, at work but there are so many politicaljournalists, other politicaljournalists, other political stories get prominence but something like this is huge. i have realised in the telegraph piece there has been no kind of development of an eye and antibiotics at the 1970s and
11:43 pm
companies are resistance to developing it because of cost in resources and there we are facing a possible time where it becomes pretty useless. where many of us are dependent on something. there is a huge, like another clock tick where antibiotics might not be effective. a big campaign about plastics, and the proof we all eat plastic. this isa the proof we all eat plastic. this is a story also covered in a couple of the other papers talking about how we are all becoming polluted with plastic as we ingested. how we are all becoming polluted with plastic as we ingestedm how we are all becoming polluted with plastic as we ingested. it is interesting just as a terms of looking at this from a macro level and capturing hearts and minds after the blue planet thing but also it has a tendency to not run campaigns unless it knows it is going to win them and with plastic bags and microbeads, it has soft in their image very much. i think actually
11:44 pm
male readers are really engaged by this whole debate and hence they are doing this, lots of people in this report but what we cannot quite work out is what the inherent danger of ingesting plastic, no one wants to do it voluntarily but at the same time it seems to be limited to gastrointestinal problems but ultimately if you're drinking from plastic bottles they say that if you leave a plastic bottle in the sun you should not drink water from it because the toxins by osmosis go into the water and into your body. i mean... it is another time bomb. into the water and into your body. i mean... it is another time bombm touches lots of things, on environmental grounds, and it is very powerful. it shows in an era where newspapers are supposedly in decline in many respects they have the power when you see headlines. plastic now when you see it is a headline. this is going to be bad.
11:45 pm
and it has become... they have more ammunition from this report which is ona ammunition from this report which is on a few front pages about the health implications which have been hovering around as camilla suggests. but apparently is more serious than you realise. at this present time, with regard to domestic issues the frustration that mail and other readers will feel is that they do the best to recycle and be good but have the time we're finding out that most of our rubbish is shipped off to china or developing nations and dumped in the sea and they are relatively powerless as they divide things into local bends and try their best. it is hard to go to the supermarket and not come home with another pile of plastic. another big story this week has been the death of khashoggi and the metro has this
11:46 pm
picture of this supposedly decoy and a fake beard. this this evening to suggest that there was an elaborate plot by the saudis to cover up what happened to khashoggi as he went into their embassy in istanbul. yes but as we were saying beforehand it is terrible, this story, it is almost unbearable and gruesome nature of it but what the conversations that produced this unsubtle, unsophisticated, brutal murder? just look at the photo on the front page of the metro and a lot of the other papers of the so—called double, it does not look bad like him. there are cameras everywhere around us embassy and there was obviously going to be a compare and contrast. there are shots of these 15 bugs if they were the 15 people responsible going into the 15 people responsible going into the embassy and calls have been
11:47 pm
monitored back to saudi arabia and so on. what was the conversations, this will work, this is a good way of getting rid of this difficult figure. it is bizarre. more evidence of the audacity of those involved, a fa ke of the audacity of those involved, a fake beard train to make out as if he left the building and there were demands of cctv footage and then finally it was not on the back of the building only in the front. borisjohnson made this comparison with may be emboldened by what happened in the screwball case and can act with the impunity. albeit in istanbul. —— the skripal case. a lot of it beggars belief. jeremy hunt says that he did not believe their account and this poses questions for the uk as well as the us about the
11:48 pm
future relationship with saudi arabia which is a big strategic ally. it is interesting when there have been atrocities in yemen, it has not conjured up the level of horror that this one individual case has. it has taken something like this to present these governments with a massive die because they earn a tonne of money with this in liam fox was the last to pull out of this conference they are having in saudi arabia is. 24,000 people employed by those defence contracts. because of the big defence deals between the uk in saudi arabia. and donald trump is ina similarly in saudi arabia. and donald trump is in a similarly difficult position because there are even more americans invested in to the lower end ofarms americans invested in to the lower end of arms dealing essentially. they cannot just use end of arms dealing essentially. they cannotjust use words now there has to be action. they have to pause where they find out precisely what happened but there has to be
11:49 pm
follow—u ps happened but there has to be follow—ups now because the condemnation has been unequivocal. i know donald trump changed his tone and what he said at different points but his latest style is to just condemn these preposterous excuses. in saying that he is not going to jeopardise these jobs, what are they going to do? a huge story that clearly has some way to run. let's touch on one other story, the eye, one of the papers covering the latest remarks from christiana rinaldo, iam happy latest remarks from christiana rinaldo, i am happy insists rinaldo in spite of rape allegations. perhaps not the best choice of words. this is the first he has spoken about them in answer two out of three questions directly and says there are more to be revealed. this
11:50 pm
refers to an incident in 2009 in a las vegas hotel, she has claimed to have been raped by the footballer and he obviously the hemenway denies it. what is interesting is that a —— young aspiring footballers ask about what he has done wrong and i remember he was across lionel messi's tax difficulties and these people are row miles and how they handled themselves in this is difficult. but it is difficult to see these people handle these allegations. he has denied this allegations. he has denied this allegation of a rape going back to 2009. and all he therefore has a choice to do really is continued denying it and is going to be asked
11:51 pm
about it and all the interviews. it isa about it and all the interviews. it is a huge additional pressure on him because they are not used to, and all the interviews they normally give are so controlled and that is asking about are you pleased with the way you are scoring in a lot of goals. this is in a different sphere. staged interviews are one thing but when he has the press paired to hold people to account... although they tried to control those. we will have to leave it there, thank you both very much indeed forjoining us this evening. 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. my my things to steve and camilla, good night. good evening, i am here with your
