11:30 pm
some rain, but bring some wind and some rain, but the wind around low pressure moves in an anticlockwise direction which will feed mild air towards our shores. but not just will feed mild air towards our shores. but notjust yet. friday starting off on a decidedly chilly note, at freezing or below. the patch of freezing fog as well. at a nice looking day with large amounts of sunshine. some are high cloud streaming in from the west and turning that sunshine hazy. temperatures around 9— 12. but wind and rain will be gathering and will start to move in across northern ireland and western scotland during friday night, as our area of low pressure approaches. quite a deep low, but it will stay quite a long way to the north—west of the british isles. so we will see quite a lot of rain in places, particularly for northern ireland and the western side of scotland, where this rain will set him through the day. we will set him through the day. we will also see relatively strong winds. a black arrows indicate wind gustin winds. a black arrows indicate wind gust in excess of a0 miles an hour. but the north—east scotland in central and eastern parts of england it will stay dry. lots of sunshine. despite the wind it will feel mild,
11:31 pm
and mild is a big part of the forecast for saturday evening and sunday evening. if you are going to any fireworks displays, those temperatures holding up nicely. a bit of rain around but some dry weather as well. the second half of the weekend is still dominated by low pressure. 0ur the weekend is still dominated by low pressure. our first low still drifting to the north—west. it might be that we develop another low further south, but however you slice it, the winds generally staying in the southerly or south—westerly direction. that will keep anything really cold well away to the north. during sunday it looks like the weather front will still be marooned across central parts of the country, and that will pass south—west england, the wales, northern england, the wales, northern england, seeing some rain, elsewhere seen sunshine, but without southerly wind, which is doing quite nicely, 12 or 13. there is uncertainty in the detail by the time we get to monday but it does look like we will see fairly large areas of cloud. patchy rain here and there. when still coming from the south or the south—west, those temperatures in double digits wherever you look. and
11:32 pm
as we get into tuesday, looks like another area of low pressure is going to park itselfjust to the west of the uk. so again, we are going to have the south or south—westerly winds. some outbreaks of rain feeding in from the west and some sunshine, the best of it likely in the east, but those temperatures still in double digits, around 11— 15. now, and mentioned low pressure was going to park itself to the west. if you get deep into the weekly low just sits there, west. if you get deep into the weekly lowjust sits there, spinning around, bands of rain travelling around, bands of rain travelling around it. as the winds blow in this anticlockwise direction, still feeding mild air towards our shores. now, there is a chance that the centre of the global drift further east, which could allow us to tap into something a little cooler, but the really cold air remains locked away far to the north. so generally, next week, it will be mild, often cloudy and windy, with some rain at times. but it looks like the cold side of autumn is on hold for now at least. hello.
11:33 pm
this is bbc news with julian worricker. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment, first the headlines. the sports minister tracey crouch has resigned, accusing the government of an "unjustifiable delay" in the introduction of restrictions on high—stakes betting machines. the national crime agency investigates arron banks and his leave.eu campaign for alleged offences committed during the 2016 eu referendum. mr banks has welcomed the inquiry into campaignfunding. google employees around the world stage protests demanding fairer treatment for female and ethnic minority staff. president trump says his government is finalising a plan that would mean asylum seekers have to make their claim at a legal port of entry. medicinal cannabis products can be legally prescribed from today in a limited number of circumstances
11:34 pm
where other medicines have failed. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are asa bennett, the brexit editor at the daily telegraph and jack blanchard, who's editor at the politico london playbook. welcome back. a look at the front pages for you, first of all. let's begin with the financial times, which leads with the national crime agency's investigation into arron banks and his leave.eu campaign for alleged offences committed in the eu referendum — which he strenuously denies. the guardian, which has reported extensively on allegations of malpractice among brexit campaigners, also leads with the same story.
11:35 pm
similarly, the metro's top story focuses on the allegations made against mr banks. the times‘s top story is a report claiming home office officials failed the former home secretary amber rudd. the resignation of the sports minister, tracey crouch, is the telegraph's lead. the daily mail has both of tomorrow's biggest stories on its front page, leading with the resignation of the sports minister. the daily mirror splashes on the pilot who was arrested at heathrow airport before allegedly attempting to fly a plane while drunk. and the sun alleges that the former prime minister david cameron might have his eye onjeremy hunt's job. that is a flavour of the front pages. we will look at them in more details. jack, kick us off this time around the david cameron story. details. jack, kick us off this time around the david cameron storym is definitely the most eye—catching front—page story of the day. it will have tongues wagging in westminster
11:36 pm
tomorrow, that david cameron has apparently told friends he would not mind ajob in apparently told friends he would not mind a job in the cabinet, once theresa may has gone as prime minister, which might turn out to be sooner minister, which might turn out to be sooner rather than later. it is certainly not what anyone would have expected. we were before we came on air, when was the last time a prime minister came back into politics and had a job minister came back into politics and had ajob in minister came back into politics and had a job in the cabinet after being prime minister. we could not think that think of a single time, certainly not modern times. it would be highly unusual. there is no direct quote from david cameron himself. he would not mind being foreign secretary, we have had that from friends. of all the jobs in cabinet, it is one you can imagine doing. it is quite separate from everything else. you go off around the world, a grand statesman, you can see that appealing to david cameron who is a great man in his way. very good at shaking hands and making those with people. the thing is, it would have to be under a different prime minister, he seems to be saying. friends of his are suggesting, they using earthy
11:37 pm
language to suggest he is very bored, in his man cave writing his book. it seems to be taking his time coming back. he does not want to charge in at the end game brexit negotiations. he wants to see where the chips fall, whether he wants to come back. as i was saying last time, in my mind, i imagine he would not be trying to get back to being mp, worrying about associations, ring because they can do that again, he would like to peerage. coming back looking elegant. it is worth pointing out... you have thought too much about this. david cameron is maybe not the most popular man on the continent. there are quite a lot of european leaders who are quite upset with david cameron for calling the referendum, shoring them he was going to win by an absolute landslide, and then accidentally taking britain out of the —— shoring them. i'm not sure if he turned up oi'i them. i'm not sure if he turned up on the door as foreign secretary tried to make frenzy would get an entirely warm welcome. the story
11:38 pm
ta kes entirely warm welcome. the story takes us into the inside pages of the sun, page two, it goes on to talk about boris johnson the sun, page two, it goes on to talk about borisjohnson as well, asa. it also suggests, speaking of the tory beasts and their career plans, that boris has made clear that he is not writing off the chances of charging in to be party leader, mostly because the doctrine of his mind is that he wants to be in the mix for a cabinetjob. he is not the sort to enter the fray and come fourth or fifth. we saw this in 2016, actually, when micheal gove stabbed him in the back so much that he ends up not launching a leadership campaign. he teased everyone, we were waiting for it, and he decided it would not be me in this mate —— race. given the big beasts, they are in it, they want to win if they threw their hats in. i guess you had to realise that if you wa nt to guess you had to realise that if you want to be leader you have to have the courage to go for it in the end. it is indicative of the fact that borisjohnson, although it is indicative of the fact that boris johnson, although he it is indicative of the fact that borisjohnson, although he remains very popular amongst the people in
11:39 pm
the country, his particular pop up —— popular among tory mps. they would fill the hibi candidates are. it reflects the reality that the current thinking in westminster is far from clear that boris would get onto a leadership ballot —— they would feel to the candidates. onto a leadership ballot —— they would feel to the candidateslj think would feel to the candidates.” think i seem a very aware of that. if only they could change the leadership rulesjust to make clear if you are popular with activists you would get on the ballot, hint, hint. these things do change very quickly. in westminster uehara one minute and down the next minute. it could easily swing back in his favour —— could easily swing back in his favour — — you could easily swing back in his favour —— you are up one minute. could easily swing back in his favour -- you are up one minute. the conclusion from the sun is that boris probably not prime minister, david cameron possibly foreign secretary. boris will have a go, maybe, if he thinks he can win. he isa maybe, if he thinks he can win. he is a gambling man, clearly. all rather intriguing. the times front page. it takes us to the former home secretary and, this is about what
11:40 pm
home office officials may have done to basically cause her to resign, jack. it looks like they did do. if viewers cast their minds at two met --1 viewers cast their minds at two met ——1 of the many cabinet resignations we have at this year, amber rudd, home secretary, resigned because she basically gave false information to a select committee in parliament when asked during the windrush scandal if britain had targets to deport illegal immigrants. she said no. it turned out that we do. and she fell on her sword and resigned because she had given a false information. there has now been an internal report in whitehall into what happened. it is coming out tomorrow, but the times has a leak of the report. apparently it is going to say that amber rudd was basically misinformed by officials
11:41 pm
before, during, and afterthis. she had specifically asked them are their targets. she was told there are not. she repeated that information, presumably in good faith, they then did not rectify the error afterwards, when there was the chance to correct the records. it turned into a scandal and she had to resign. a minister does have to take responsibility for things that go on in herdepartment, responsibility for things that go on in her department, that is what they are therefore. when you think of the home office, a vast operation with thousands of employees, the secretary of state beazley doesn't know every little thing going on there, although she properly should have this —— doesn't always know. it seems like she has been pretty badly let down in this case. it is unfortunate for her. on a bigger scale, it is worrying that the home 0ffice scale, it is worrying that the home office is so dysfunctional. that the most senior people in the department, these officials are paid huge sums of money, they can't even get basic information about the way policies work to their minister.m that your reading of it, asa, as well? jaber, the current kennett, has been tied to review home office practices to get fit for purposes —— the current minister. someone who
11:42 pm
was home secretary for quite a while, theresa may, she is now prime minister. it might make her time there look unflattering. it might turn up some bad results. the other thing, as well, amber rudd fell on her sword because of this mistake. according to the times, the two leading officials were criticised in the report have now been moved on to very seniorjobs elsewhere in whitehall. so it is all turned out fine for them. she whitehall. so it is all turned out fine forthem. she is whitehall. so it is all turned out fine for them. she is now a backbencher. i am sure she wants to get back, if she has a chance. the whitehall machine protected zone and it officials go to other well—paid jobs despite what seems to be a pretty big blunder. asa, take us inside the times. this is the main world lead story that will feature tomorrow. this is with reference to the us mid—term elections next tuesday. particularly concentrating on florida. a big photograph of donald trump saluting his supporters in southern florida. what is their ta ke in southern florida. what is their take on things at this stage? they
11:43 pm
are taking florida as the example, almost the bellwether state, on that this all hinges on turnout, tried to get the youth out, this is why the democrats are very hopeful they might be able to take it and it would be emblematic of what they are calling the blue wave. so bernie sanders has been telling his supporters that the fact that president trump is banging the campaign drumbeat 0si is nervous and they want to make an even more nervous as the coming days roll on stuy pot —— shows he is nervous. they are going to campaign in florida at any election because it is this bellwether thing. these elections are a big deal. next tuesday we will find out, it is the first big judgement on donald trump 0smo presidency and it will be seen in our way. it has the chance to stymie the next couple of years —— donald trump's presidency but it has been shouting about immigration the
11:44 pm
whole time. a lot of it does not seem to based on fact. it tried to push the buttons on his own base. he is trying to push the buttons of his own base and get them out. it looks like it will be all about turnout on the day. you get the sense there is more interest in these elections outside the united states then there perhaps been for a long time? yes. given the donald trump show, it is fascinating for the world, it seems. and the fact that every time there has been a scandal of the drama in the white house, we think is this the white house, we think is this the end, is it all off the rails? it still keeps going. when you go back to the donald trump supporters, the co re to the donald trump supporters, the core vote, they love their man. he is still making america greatjust by existing and being himself. this will be a test. we must not forget that one of the reasons he pulled off such a surprise win for presidency was because of the breadth of support. he campaigned in places the democrats were not going. it is not necessarilyjust about florida, it is about other places as
11:45 pm
well, that will show whether or not the chorus to within. we will see what happens on tuesday. jack, take is to be guardian. it involves leave. eu is to be guardian. it involves leave.eu and is to be guardian. it involves leave. eu and arron is to be guardian. it involves leave.eu and arron banks. -- to the guardian. it dominated many of the front pages tomorrow. we have seen this case being passed to police about arron banks. the national crime agency. and the league campaign. this is something remainers have been shouting about for quite sometime. they will really seize on this as evidence, as they would see, this surely proves the whole thing was not there and so on. it is important to say that banks says he has done nothing wrong and nothing has been proved against at this stage. this is certainly a serious step. people are surprised and when they first heard about this as an issue, i think they would have been surprised to learn it would go this far and that it would be referred to the national police body
11:46 pm
in this way. i don't think it is going to stop brexit or anything like that. i would be very surprised. it looks like it will be an issue that runs and runs for weeks and months to come. the voices saying we must put brexit on hold. david lammy, the labour mp, is quoted, voices you would expect. he needs no excuse to say brexit should be put on hold. both sides feed off each other in this way. mr banks, the self—styled brexit bad boy, he seems to revel in the spotlight, in his influence. the electoral commission's body that he has vigorously argued is chock—full of remainers, trying to smear him. he is going to be enjoying this fight. it will be a mud wrestle. he is insisting that everything is above board. even though the questions now, the reason why the national crime agency is brought in, is because the commission seems to think there is a question as to whether it is foreign money, russian
11:47 pm
money, you name it, practically, there are doubts that it is not entirely his study would argue differently. we will see where that goes. we will show the front of the mall with that in mind. we will talk about their story. —— the daily mail. they pose a question about russian money. it is posed as a question rather than a statement. let's go down the male's front—page to their coverage of the tracey crouch resignation, with quite an eye—catching headline. —— mail's front page. blood on their hands, this is the insinuation from her resignation letter tonight, it in pointing out that both aiming to act fast enough, to put a limit on how much you can spend on gambling machines, the fixed odds betting terminals, then you are allowing two lives a day to be lost among vulnerable addicts. the treasury seems to be trying to save some money by delaying the introduction of this. and yet she is now
11:48 pm
resigning in protest and, my word, the amount of support she has attracted is huge, ranging from the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby, to brexiteers galore, boris johnson, priti patel, et cetera. it may sound like she is a brexiteer herself, but it is nothing about that, it is about the depth of concern, even iain duncan smith was worrying about it. it is an across the party feeling that even the —— that the government is out of step. it isa that the government is out of step. it is a blunder. they have done pretty well trying to keep the show on the road in parliament despite all the factions —— factions that winner exist in the tory party. they seem to have come up with a budget plan theirmps can seem to have come up with a budget plan their mps can support and it we nt plan their mps can support and it went pretty well for them on monday. we thought that whole thing about mps rebelling on the budget had gone away, now suddenly this is exploding. it is all centred around a minister, oran exploding. it is all centred around a minister, or an ex— exploding. it is all centred around a minister, oran ex— minister, you never would have expected. she is quite an assuming, not a rebellious person. it seems like an unforced error by the government. if they had
11:49 pm
just consulted with their ministers a bit more closely, and maybe done something that it seems like there is lots of support for anyway, you know, do the change when you had originally planned to, they could have avoided all this mess, but now they are looking at, potentially, a big rebellion. because they will be a vote on this, specifically, want to there? and judging by the reaction to this there is no guarantee that it goes through. huge support for any amendment that would seek to fast track the introduction of this limit. given that philip hammond was able to... what was it, £100 billion given away? lots of money. the factions saved by delaying this is a sliver of that. if he had just forked out a tiny bit more he could have afforded this. and potentially, can still afford this. there is time. government has been cleared today, it is not backing down. obviously a minister has resigned but they might yet be forced into a position of compromise. lots more to look at. refer us back to the current home
11:50 pm
secretary, we mentioned this in passing earlier on. this is your paper, asa. this is with reference to sajid javid, but also what chief co nsta bles to sajid javid, but also what chief constables are saying about eight crimes. well, five chief constables are warning that forces could the prevented from solving violent crimes and burglaries, you know, this furore about the expansion of the definition of hate crime. you have tojudge police the definition of hate crime. you have to judge police forces by their results and given that hate crime rerecorded as on the up, it is soaring, yet the percentage of it thatis soaring, yet the percentage of it that is satisfactorily resolved, i think the last that showed it was about 10%. —— last stats. the effectiveness is really wanting. about 10%. —— last stats. the effectiveness is really wantingm plays into a much bigger picture about policing, which is going up the political agenda and has been doing for at least a year or 18 months now. as we have seen violent crime rising and rising, it is becoming more of an issue. and of course it comes against the backdrop which police funding has been cut since the d10. at first that seemed
11:51 pm
to be having an effect on the crimes figures. now lots of people would argue it definitely is. something is causing this bike. so the police have seized on that to say, look, don't give us more things to investigate. we are struggling to investigate. we are struggling to investigate the things the public are most concerned about, the stabbings and burglaries and robberies. it is a real pressure point for the government, this. if you cast your mind back to the general election last summer, police cuts became a pretty big and toxic issue for the government. they don't wa nt issue for the government. they don't want to be having this argument with the police right now, yet that is where they find themselves. that is women leave things. —— that is where we must leave things. 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, asa bennett and jack blanchard, and goodbye. leicester manager claude puel
