stream, strong jetstream, jet stream, strong jetstream, racing gci’oss jet stream, strong jetstream, racing across the atlantic. whereas at the moment the winds are coming from the south, this westerly jet moment the winds are coming from the south, this westerlyjet will tend to bring the winds in from the west or the south—west. so it won't be quite as mild as it is at the moment. equally the really cold air remains locked away to the north. so generally speaking it will be relatively mild into next week. often windy, with some rain at times. the wettest when weather once again will be in the west. nothing desperately: the horizon for the time being. —— nothing desperately cold on the horizon. hello. you're watching bbc news with me clive myrie. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines: on the eve of the crucial mid term elections, president trump makes his closing rallying call across three states, in the first big electoral test of his presidency. the future direction of the united states of america is at stake in these mid—term elections tomorrow. and, as for a prediction on what the outcome will be,

we were here two years ago and it didn't work out so well. after four stabbings in five days in, police say they'll step up patrols on the streets of london. east sussex becomes the latest council to cut key services to avoid a budget crisis. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the guardian columnist, dawn foster, and liam halligan, who's the chief economics commentator at the daily telegraph. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the financial times says theresa may will pile pressure on eurosceptic cabinet ministers to back a brexit deal that could be signed this month.

this comes after leo varadkar, the irish prime minister, offered a compromise on the rwo over northern ireland border. meanwhile, the guardian has a different take on the same story, and says the taoiseach told mrs may he could not allow the uk to dictate the terms of any so called backstop. the daily telegraph says a former topshop manager in the us has become the first woman publicly to accuse sir philip green of sexual harassment as well as a campaign of intimidation and bullying. the law firm representing sir philip green claim she's an unreliable witness. the i has mps warning universal credit is imposing arbitrarily punitive penalties on people who breach rules. the mirror's front page shows this shocking image of a model of grenfell tower being set alight. the metro carries the same story about the video that surfaced online and says police are investigating. and according to the dail mail,

grieving families will be hit with bills of up to £6,000 under a stealth death tax. and they also feature the spice girls — most of whom are getting together to tour again. flotsa m a nd jetsa m flotsam and jetsam ragbag of news, fleet street have tried to do their best, i am trying to say something, but maybe not very elegantly, bits and bobs, and we start with the guardian, the pm faces cabinet after leo varadkar guardian, the pm faces cabinet after leo va radkar stands firm guardian, the pm faces cabinet after leo varadkar stands firm on brexit backstop — it is still the ireland border causing the problems. backstop — it is still the ireland border causing the problemsm backstop — it is still the ireland border causing the problems. it is, as some of us predicted just after the referendum. not before the referendum. this is three different main papers, the ft, the guardian,

the times, everyone getting to spend in before the crucial cabinet meeting tomorrow that number ten have painted as make or break. they are trying to pressure, as the ft says, the eurosceptic economic reform group, the true brexiteers, if you like, that if they don't accept some kind of deal now than it's going to be too late head of march 2019. the guardian is really looking at it from dublin's point of view. leo varadkar has actually made a concession in the last couple of days. he said he would accept a review mechanism for the backstop. now, deep breath, the backstop is there to avoid a hard border in the event there isn't a solution in the transition period. breathe again. you're doing a greatjob, mate. transition period. breathe again. you're doing a great job, mate. he says there will be a review mechanism for the backstop, but it can't be a unilateral review mechanism with the uk able to decide what it wants to end the backstop.

yes, ok. what it wants to end the backstop. yes, 0k. crikey. that was brilliant, though, i understood what you said, i don't know about the viewers. dawn, he is right, they are trying to get the pressure on the european group, those brexiteers, they're trying to squeeze them and squeeze them to the point where it could be too late to get a deal if we don't sign up now, so you've got to sign up sign up now, so you've got to sign up now! completely, and this is what theresa may is saying, we are going to end up with no deal. hammond said an no—deal brexit would be catastrophic for the economies. the brexiteers don't care about that. they don't. we have had this before, the dup won't budge, the dup don't wa nt the dup won't budge, the dup don't want to see a backstop, taoiseach does want to see a backstop, it seems no one is willing to compromise on this, there has been a tiny bit between leo and theresa may

and then we saw dominic raab said they will unilaterally walk away in three months and leo varadkar said absolutely no way. dominic raab's friends have been forced to come and say he won't resign over it. this is how controversial it is. cabinet is in disarray. she might lose the dup over this. she can't seem to get dublin onside. she definitely can't get her cabinet dublin onside. she definitely can't get hercabinet in dublin onside. she definitely can't get her cabinet in order. yes. similaron get her cabinet in order. yes. similar on the front page of the times. brussels to offer border compromising brexit boost for may. so the times is looking at it from the guardian's point of view as well. yes, it is fair to say, i am not telling tales, the guardian and the times are pro— remain papers and they're both putting a top spin on it, that if only these nasty eurosceptics would give way, then everything would be fine. another body of opinion would say that, underan

body of opinion would say that, under an no—deal brexit it wouldn't be nearly as bad. wouldn't be as bad. there is a slew of stories in the papers tomorrow morning, you know, pets will get it if there is no deal, there will be a banking crisis, says the treasury, other people would say, we will trade under wto rules as with america and the rest of the world, so is it a big deal? i obviously want to see... i want to see a deal, not obviously, because some people think it is less important. i think in the end, you know, the country is getting so sick and tired of this. i mean i am a brexit note and i am sick and tired of it. sick and tired! laughter —— brexit nerd. laughter -- brexit nerd. the biggest danger is if we don't solve this once and for all by march 2019 or at the very latest in the transition period and it just rumbles on latest in the transition period and itjust rumbles on and on and on. i think if we end up in the customs union then they will end up having another movement to take us out of the customs union because an awful lot of people pay more tariffs on

their food and their clothing and their food and their clothing and their footwear when we are inside their footwear when we are inside the customs union. you know, it's no wonder that people call this a vexed question. indeed, indeed, but of course the counter argument is that being in the customs union is good for business and the gateway to the rest of europe for britain and for investors investing in britain and we don't want to go through all of the saga again because it is exhausting. it really is exhausting. the mail, dawn, there is a poll, which i have here, is that right? yes, channel 4 news poll. inside the mail, i get you, aha, ok. 5496 of people would vote to remain if we held a second referendum now and they have broken it down into lots of different figures, so apparently in the 2016 referendum there were 262 local authority areas with a majority backed brexit, falling down to 157, and when you look at the

economy, 44% of people think that brexit will be a bad thing for the economy, versus 31%, and particularly when you look at personal finances, 38% of people think brexit would be bad for personal finances, 16% think it would be good, so this poll seems to show that the tide might be turning a bit. equally there have been a lot of polls coming up showing each way. and if a second vote did come out it might look opportunist. it is always very difficult to tell. at the moment there is no second vote, it has been ruled out. it has been ruled out. could you see a ci rcu mflex ruled out. could you see a circumflex sums where that would change? not unless there was there was a significant move in the opinion polls. -- would you see a circumstantial where that could change? i don't think this is it. just eyeballing these numbers for the first time, i have no prior sight, ok, 1m%, the first time, i have no prior sight, ok, 44%, it is a big poll,

6000 people, so there is less margin for error, really. they are more authoritative numbers. if 44% of people think brexit would be bad for the economy, 31% think it is good, that's the headline, but 14% say there is no difference, so more people think it would be good or no different than think it would be bad. just adding up the numbers. statistics, the statistics. so i think in the end we are going to get a lot more of this. there is obviously pressure for a second referendum. it is only fair to say that a lot of the business want a second referendum, and what our eu membership to continue. —— and want our eu membership to continue. i think it's almost impossible now for the conservative party to accept a referendum given what the prime minister has said about it unless there is a change of prime minister. indeed, ok, onto the independent, trump awaits voters' verdict, dawn,

mid—term elections, every mid—term cycle it is described as "the most important in history", this one is no exception, but this really could be different, because we do seem to be different, because we do seem to be talking about two very, very different ideas of what america is. absolutely, i think that for trump it isa absolutely, i think that for trump it is a big opportunity for him to show that he has people behind him. and i think that, you know, there will be quiet trump voters, there we re will be quiet trump voters, there were a will be quiet trump voters, there we re a lot will be quiet trump voters, there were a lot in 2016, there will be a lot more in 2018, so the republicans could do very, very well. they have deliberately tried to be very hard on immigration and very, very vocal quite recently, and it feels as though the democrats in many ways are dragging their heels. it feels as though they haven't gotten over 2016, they are trying to get through that election and they need to focus on putting forward an alternative vision for america and you can do that on healthcare, you can do that on trade etc and at the moment it seems as though they are very

focused on trying to attack the election rather than looking at what hillary did wrong. we are talking, we talk a lot about donald trump's days, we talk about red meat, you know, riling up, poking a stick in the eye of liberals, you know, they love that, that is what, i don't know, 30, 30 5% of the population at the most, and then you have 30 or 35% of the population who are blue and democrat and that chunk in the middle need to be focused on, and one wonders as you say, dawn, shy republicans, shy trump supporters might not have figured in the polls, but are we focusing enough on this co re but are we focusing enough on this core in the middle who love the economies away it is, who perhaps feel that trump is talking either good stuff or very bad stuff on immigration, they're the people we should focus on. i agree with d that even though the dems are ahead in the opinion polls and have been consistently there are shy of voters

who won't admit they will vote for trump. and of course there is that centre third of the electorate in america, the so—called swing voters, in states like ohio, wisconsin, michigan, wisconsin and which trump won surprisingly and that's been sent a ground for campaigning. they like that the economy is growing at 3.5, 4%, they like that the stock market is very buoyant, it strikes me, though, that trump has been really, really offensive on immigration in the last few weeks and some of those swing voters may actually be turned off by his rhetoric. i personally think it has gone too far in strategic and electoral terms. of course he's been fanning electoral terms. of course he's been farming the flames of conflict on immigration, and of course he's been talking up his steel tariffs, but, you know, his base, it is notjust the rust belt, there are many

middle—class respectable professional people who are trott voters and i wonder if his rhetoric in his last few days as he has desperately tried to notjust hang on to the senate, which i think he will, but also hang on to the house of representatives, which is too close to call, if he has upped the rhetoric a little bit too much —— trump voters. well, i mean, you know, on that point he has put out a campaign at talking about immigration and not even fox news are willing to run it —— ad. it is so incendiary. reporters have said, you know, how do you feel about the fa ct you know, how do you feel about the fact that some people think it is offensive? he says "it is a tough campaign and your question is offensive". you have also had mike bloomberg, who has backed the republicans, the democrats, he has put 5 million bucs in the last couple of days behind democrat adverts that link donald trump directly, directly, with the

atrocity, the terrible anti semitic attack that we saw in pittsburgh's, so the gloves are really off and i don't think it's an exaggeration to say this is a really important congressional mid—term because it is a referendum on trump who is the most divisive president of our lifetime. i would say for 100 years andi lifetime. i would say for 100 years and i am not that old. ijust remind people. wrinkles and hairy is going. anyway. the daily mirror, i don't know what you say to this. mob cheering as they burnt an effigy of the grenfell tower. clearly this group of people decided to spend a large amount of time seemingly building a replica of the grenfell tower, filming themselves laughing at it, saying quite racist comments, the police are looking into it. it is obviously horrific, everyone will be very upset by it. bonfire night is always a tough time for grenfell

survivors because there is so much noise and sparks outside, but the one thing to take away from this is there has been a huge public backlash. people very upset about it and very clear it is completely unacceptable. it is moronic, and it is right the prime minister has gone on twitter to condemn this, the home secretary, the housing secretary, sadiq khan, the london mayor, using very strong language. unacceptable, disgraceful. you wonder what goes through the mind of people who do things like this. it was only in june 2017 this happen. any families will never recover, given the tragedy of the 72 deaths. but a ridiculous thing for these people to do. i wonder if the police can actually get them on the legal hook in some way, shape or form. actually get them on the legal hook in some way, shape orform. but actually get them on the legal hook in some way, shape or form. but you certainly welcome this mass outbreak

of public reprimand. on to the guardian. mr berners—lee, the inventor of the world wide web, the internet has become a dystopia. inventor of the world wide web, the internet has become a dystopialj mean, i don't disagree with him. i suppose he has created something he hoped will help the world are now he looks at the horror which comes out of it everyday. things like the abuse people get every day. there is so much racism, homophobia, sexism on the internet. there is a lot of discrimination, and now there are lots of threats and worries about political manipulation which affect the world. i think in many ways one of the big issues is that when the internet was created, as with most new inventions, people were excited about what could happen with it and don't think about the possible bad effect. we don't think about antibiotic resistance, we just get

excited we can cure things. i think the tide is turning. i think a lot of people are thinking about how we can improve the internet and thinking about how much of a negative impact it has on our lives, especially for young people, children, who often get completely unfettered access to the internet. at the beginning, it was seen, as you are saying, access to knowledge and other people's ideas, and you could share things, and a big influence in the arab spring, facebook seen as very important, getting people out, throwing off the shackles getting people out, throwing off the 5 ha ckles of getting people out, throwing off the shackles of dictatorship, and so on and so forth. now, give me three good things from the internet. well, for many people, facebook, google and amazon have massively enhance their lives, they run their businesses, because one, two, or three of those things, they can keep their increasingly busy lives on the road because of those three things.

but look, the web giants, they are incredibly close with our political classes. they are incredibly influential. they are all over government. individual people moving between governments and these big companies, back to government, and we have got basically analogue laws to oversee them in a digital age. it is still completely mad, clive, that the big internet companies are not seen as a publisher like the bbc is or the guardian or the daily telegraph, heaven help us. so we actually have to be completely responsible for what we publish, and for what is coming out of my mouth now. i feel somewhat responsible. for what is coming out of my mouth now. ifeel somewhat responsible. in a way that the web giants do not, because they are just platforms. and because they are just platforms. and because of that they can rip off all kinds of intellectual property rights, they can destroy the value of co nte nt rights, they can destroy the value of content creators, authors, musical artists, all the rest of it.

we have to get on this, and we have to attack the fact that these guys have such a huge market share. we are seeing signs of that now, as dawn said, we are seeing signs of that in the budget. it is about time. where is the switch? may be tim berners—lee can tell us where the switch is. we are all old media in the studio so the point of view is bound to be on one particular side of the argument. the ladies from the spice girls. i have been told we are not doing that. how can that be? this is the most important story! ok, apparently we're wrapping up. 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, dawn foster from the guardian, and liam halligan from the daily telegraph, and goodbye. hello, i'm sarah mulkerrins

at the bbc sport centre. so, 205 days after scoring their last home goal, it was an own—goal from timothy fosu—mensah that gave huddersfield town their first league win of the season tonight. 1—0 winners they were against fulham at thejohn smith stadium. that sees the terriers move off the foot of the premier league table, with fulham replacing them. patrick gearey watched the action. the northern souls of huddersfield continued to keep the faith, despite it all. the last league goal they saw he was in april. nearly seven months of drought, and despite the effo rts months of drought, and despite the efforts of philip dilling, still counting. but not too long. fulham have conceded than any premier

league team this season, and they left schindler free to end the case, timothy fosu—mensah adding the final touch, own goal. they were not worried about identity. finally, ecstasy. but more misery for jokanovic. this level offers no guarantees or warranties and alex pritchard might guarantees or warranties and alex pritcha rd might have guarantees or warranties and alex pritchard might have added worried your mac value for huddersfield. they needed that. the nerves were growing but fulham were finally staring. four years ago, growing but fulham were finally staring. fouryears ago, andre growing but fulham were finally staring. four years ago, andre won the world cup. rio must feel a long way away. his manager may soon be on departure, as huddersfield could soon come to remember the fifth of november. a goal, a win, and that faith repaid. well, this is how the bottom of the table stands. huddersfield have climbed off the bottom and up to 18th, behind newcastle on goal difference. fulham slip to the foot of the premier league, with five straight defeats, and still yet to keep a clean sheet since their promotion. stoke city wingerjames mcclean has been warned by the fa for his use of offensive language

on social media. he posted his anger at abuse he received over not wearing a poppy, describing some stoke fans as cavemen. whilst the fa told mcclean off, they did say any abuse received by the player was unacceptable. the irish internationalfeels the fa are turning a blind eye to the sectarian abuse. on the eve of the first test against sri lanka, england captain joe root says his team will be trying a bolder and more courageous approach to their cricket. england haven't won a test series in sri lanka for 17 years. root says its time for them to try something different, and that players are feeling the competition for places on the team. first to win over here is not going to be 11 players. it is going to be a squad performance. there will be times when the balance of the team might change quite drastically, and we have to be open to that, and accepted. it is not about you

individually, it is about collectively. we have done things like that when we have come to the continent and i think it is trying to be slightly different. be a little bit bowler, if you like, and courageous, and maybe tried every service that we come up against. —— try every surface. rafa nadal confirmed today that he will miss the atp world tour finals in london this month and that his season is over due to injury. he said he needed an operation on his right ankle and is also yet to recover from the abdominal problem that kept him out of the paris masters last week. in his absence, novak djokovic moved to world number one, and it now means he is guaranteed to end the year top of the world rankings. john isner comes into the field for the finals on sunday. and the draw has been made for the finals on the one show. novak djokovic has been placed in the same group as alexander zverev, marin cilic and isner. roger federer heads up the other group, with kevin anderson, dominic thiem and another late replacement, kei nishikori. that is all your sport for now.

hello there. the pressure set up across the uk for the next few days is going to be crucial to how the weather is going to look, and certainly how it is going to feel. we've got high pressure over the near continent spinning clockwise in the northern hemisphere and we got this big area of low pressure out towards the west of us anticlockwise, this is bringing southerly winds up from the mediterranean through parts of france and then across our shores. but as we go through the next few days this area of low pressure in the west will slowly encroached in towards our shores so although it will remain mild, with the southerly winds that will turn in india, with outbreaks of rain, some of it heavy, especially across western areas. back to the here and now and tonight it looks largely dry. showery burst of rain across northern england towards scotland. the odd one further south but here it will be mainly dry and a few clear spells. mist and mainly dry and a few clear spells. mistand murk mainly dry and a few clear spells. mist and murk conditions from the bonfire night, over the last few hours, and temperatures no lower

than eight to 11 degrees so lower to begin tuesday. cloud, mist and murk as well. a little bit of brightness, the best of it across the east and south—east. showers developing through the day and then later on across western areas we will begin to see a very active weather front moving in, bringing heavy rain the western parts, maybe even a rumble of thunder. the winds will pick up from the south across western areas. temperatures reaching the mid— teens celsius but in the south and south—east we could see 17 or 18 celsius given some sunshine, much like we saw earlier today. that weather front continues to move eastwards through the course of tuesday night. some of the rain will be quite heavy, and in fact it looks pretty unsettled on into wednesday. a pretty active area of low pressure across our shores will bring some very windy weather. outbreaks of rain, could start dry initially across the very far east. rain moving to all areas and heavy rain becoming confined across western scotla nd becoming confined across western scotland and northern ireland with blustery heavy showers moving across the south. a little bit of sunshine developing into the afternoon. blustery day with gales around.

temperature—wise, not a smile is what we will see in the next couple of days. for yesterday and today. temperatures around 14 or 15 degrees but winds will become strong with gales and exposed coast and the hills. we hold on to the mild air mass as we head on into the end of the week. winds coming in from the south and the south—west could see sunshine and showers, longer spells of rain in fact, but at least it will continue to field fairly mild for the time of year. temperatures around 11 to 15 degrees. spain welcome to newsday on the bbc. hello. i'm sharanjit leyl, in singapore. the headlines: campaigning reaches fever pitch in the us mid—term elections — president trump's holding his third rally of the day, live in fort wayne, indiana. also hitting the campaign trail for the democrats, barack obama tells supporters america is at a defining moment in its history. i'm babita sharma, in london. also in the programme:

the us vows to be "relentless" as sweeping sanctions take effect against iran. tehran says it's facing an "economic war". and panic grips the indian capital as a blanket of toxic air hits delhi, ahead of diwali, the festival of lights.
