and ur itfii'it and that is pressure to the north. and that is starting to extend its way towards the uk, giving more ofan starting to extend its way towards the uk, giving more of an influence to our weather, bringing a lot of dry weather but probably dragging down something a little bit chilly on sunday. there will be a more pronounced easterly breeze so it may feel a little bit colder on sunday. there could be one or two showers here and there, especially towards the south, but on the whole most places will be dry if fairly cloudy. once the cloud breaks overnight you will find a frost, that could happen on monday morning. there may be more sunshine around because pressure is rising, the high pressure is moving down from the north and those temperatures will be lower during the day, six to eight degrees. as we head into next week there is a bit more uncertainty. we have that high pressure building down, a big area of low pressure out in the atlantic and it looks like this is the more likely scenario, we will see this rain pushing across the uk, driven by low pressure that is moving to the north—west of our shores. if that happens, on the whole we have the breeze coming in from the south or south—west, so that means milder air, that is if this area of low pressure sticks in that position.

the other scenario, and this is less likely, is that low pressure will extend across the uk, bringing rain more widely and pretty miserable weather into next week. we could see some incursions of colder air coming down from the north. it looks more likely that we will see the milder conditions, some rain, yes, but more a south—westerly wind and milder conditions. but there is a lot of uncertainty, hopefully over the next few days we will see the models c0 nve l’g e few days we will see the models converge and there will be a bit more certainty in the forecast. hello. this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines: theresa may says further talks are needed to finalise a brexit deal before sunday's planned eu summit following a crunch meeting in brussels this evening. we have had a very good meeting this evening. we have made further progress. as a result we have given sufficient

direction to negotiators and i hope for them to resolve the remaining issues. that work will start immediately. concerns for a 31—year—old british academicjailed for life in the united arab emirates on charges of spying. the family of a six—year—old girl who was sexually assaulted by boys at school is awarded compensation from the local authority. gambling has made this woman britain's highest paid executive. denise coates earned £265 million pounds last year from bet365. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are polly mackenzie, director of demos, and lynn davidson, the sun's whitehall correspondent. thank you very much for being with

us. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. we're living a nightmare, writes the daily mail, the words of the wife of matthew hedges, the british student who's been jailed for life for spying in the uae. that story also leads the times. his wife daniela tejada says the foreign office's handling of his case was "appalling." the daily telegraph shows a photograph of theresa may and jean—claude juncker after their brexit meeting in brussels, alongside a warning from the foreign secretary to the prime minister that her brexit plan could leave the uk in what he calls a "turkey trap" — linked to the eu for years to come. a shocking rise in child diabetes, writes the daily express, quoting new figures that almost 7,000 people with type 2 diabetes are now under the age of 25. the guardian claims steve bannon‘s plans to help right—wing populists win in europe are in disarray,

after donald trump's former chief strategist conceded his campaign efforts could be illegal in most of the target countries. and the i leads with the advice from the education secretary that children should climb trees, cook and sleep outdoors, to build resilience. there you are. the front pages. now for a round—up for you. let's kickoff with the times. this very alarming story about the academic in the uae, a five—minute court hearing, he wasn't allowed to have a lawyer present and sentenced to life in prison. sounds like it was a com plete in prison. sounds like it was a complete shock. in the uk the foreign secretary is briefing that they had personal assurances that they had personal assurances that the case would be dealt with leniently. they have assured them

that he is not a spy involved with the uk. to go into this five—minute hearing and be given a life sentence without any legal representation is extraordinary. strong words in the name of the foreign secretary and from ministers privately admitted it said that this is totally out of order, they have been blindsided by action from a friendly state. this guy... he was seized after interviewing local figures about security policy. the question is whether this is all made up. did someone say whether this is all made up. did someone say something that they should not have done that they are now clamping down on? whatever it is, this poor couple, divided potentially for life, the government has to take serious action. for the government here, what can it do? there are arms sales to the uae, there is a question of putting pressure on through that, diplomatic pressure? there might be steps before that stage. jeremy hunt had

meetings with the crown prince which he thought went very well and they thought it would be treated leniently. it seems as though mr hedges doesn't appear to even read or write arabic which would suggest he was not recruited as a spy. i think he did grow up or i understand he spent some time as a child. we are in the dark as to the reasons to this. and this five—minute court hearing. his family described him as being failed by the foreign office and obviously they are in shock. we have heard that in cases before. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe in iran. quite a few families have criticised the foreign office for their handling of the sort of cases. the foreign office for their handling of the sort of casesm the foreign office for their handling of the sort of cases. it is difficult for them. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe's difficult for them. nazanin zaghari— ratcliffe's case difficult for them. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe's case is different for lots of reasons. she isa different for lots of reasons. she

is a dual national. the iranians don't have any trouble with dual nationality. she was of course teaching over there. she was doing research for academic studies. we are in the dark. let's see what happens now. there are a few hurdles before the sanctions. there is an appeals process. this is not necessarily the end of the matter. it does look like there is an appeal process. the government is talking about diplomatic efforts. the government has a strategy that we will have global britain and we will make friends everywhere. send people to do research and teaching. there is an enormous to do research and teaching. there is an enormous amount to do research and teaching. there is an enormous amount of complexity when it comes to being friends with countries that don't necessarily have the legal protections we would rely on in the uk. somewhere where lots of people go on holiday, to dubai, when the weather is so bad, and we have the case of a woman with and we have the case of a woman with a glass of wine imprisoned when she

arrived and she was breath tested in dubai. it is not a good look for them. they are dependent on the british tourist trade. another story in the times on the front page is the forthcoming eu summit on sunday. angela merkel apparently is threatening to boycott that summit which would scupper theresa may's plans to get that eu brexit deal sealed inside and not quite delivered. she won't trek to brussels if there is nothing to sign off. that is logical i think. there has been a bit of quarrelling. you could read this as a bit of help for theresa may because spain and france are quarrelling apparently overfishing and, surprise, surprise, fishing for the french and for the spanish, gibraltar. they won't sign the deal if they don't get what they wa nt the deal if they don't get what they want on gibraltar. queue the eye

rolls, but tough! laughter. sorry. for the last week we have been thinking, can she get the deal through parliament? this is a reminder that we haven't got it through the eu either. she's trying to navigate is incredibly narrow path between two sets of obstructions and it is possible there is no path through. she is showing considerable fortitude and resilience as she always does. she is not a quitter. sounds like you could write her speeches! she is just not. almost to the point of... you can't believe she is still standing. yes. as she would say it, still at the wicket like geoffrey boycott. she has nothing left to lose. why would she quit? they have to carry her out in a box. much more on brexit in the telegraph. they have pieced together what happened at the crucial cabinet meeting a few days ago when they met to discuss the eu withdrawal agreement, the d raft the eu withdrawal agreement, the

draft agreement. it was a question of whether the cabinet would pass it or not, how many resignations they would be. by piecing together interviews with cabinet ministers, they have some tasty quotes from the cabinet meeting. yes, they have. a couple of weeks ago at a previous cabinet meeting we had the analogy about talking about a plane taking off and being in the about talking about a plane taking offand being in the departure lounge. and you know, brexit needed to be, when the plane landed, people need to know they are in a different place. this time we have the seagoing water and allergies. —— water analogy. michael gove talking about northern ireland in the deep end because of the notorious backstop we are talking about. and the attorney general geoffrey cox talking about britain starting out ina talking about britain starting out in a raft with two oil drums and a plastic sale and setting off, so it's the best way to take off into the deal. penny mourdant chipping in

and saying it isn't the open seas, it isa and saying it isn't the open seas, it is a paddling pool. lots of analogies. either some people or their speechwriters are very proud with all of these clever phrases they have come up with or they would not have leaked them. we could stage a reconstruction here. there is enough from these ministers. the other quote was at about turkey trap. this is about turkey trying to get into the eu for decades, at 30 yea rs, get into the eu for decades, at 30 years, being in limbo, and jeremy hunt saying that we could be in a similarlimbo if we hunt saying that we could be in a similar limbo if we try to get out. turkey is partially in the customs union. that restrict its ability to make trade deals with other countries. jeremy hunt says we might be stuck for a similar period of time ina be stuck for a similar period of time in a similar position. the turkey trap. nothing to do with christmas, disappointingly. no. and

at each ofjean—claude juncker and theresa may. in matching suits. almost, yes. no, she has been struck. anyway. they will meet on saturday and the proposed summit on sunday. we will see what happens on the weekend. also on the telegraph, british spy chiefs battling to stop donald trump exposing their sources. explain what that's about. the application to wiretap person called carter page as part of the robert mueller investigation. donald trump release it was politically motivated, that wiretap motivation. because it was assembling the evidence they had to say they were suspicious of this guy and they wa nted suspicious of this guy and they wanted to wiretap him, because we share intelligence with the us, lots of british sourced intelligence, british spy chiefs worry if it is published it will put the intelligence gathering techniques and sources at risk. and they are

moving hell and high water to try to stop him. but of course donald trump is not someone you can easily stop. also on the theme of donald trump, one of his right—hand man, steve bannon, has been in europe and the guardian's front page is that his attempt to boost the far right in europe is in disarray. can you tell us more europe is in disarray. can you tell us more about that? the guardian had been running a series on populism in europe. it was interesting. one in four votes goes to these parties. a little bit more in the database. they have spent four months on this. today's i must say is a bit weak. mainly because they have established that steve bannon, who hardly wants... who has a plan for the far right in europe, what he would want to do would be illegal in nine of the 13 countries. and then when you

look into it and read a table, they have gone to a lot of the far right parties, including marine le pen in france and other ones, and they have said, not that we can bother working with them anyway, we wouldn't work with them anyway, we wouldn't work with them, he has nothing to do with us. with them, he has nothing to do with us. i with them, he has nothing to do with us. lam with them, he has nothing to do with us. i am not... with them, he has nothing to do with us. lam not... it is not with them, he has nothing to do with us. i am not... it is not entirely clear what sometimes happens in the guardian story is what the main point of the story is. they say it is in disarray and it is all over the place. this isjust a man with a lot of money very interested in politics who seems to want to push his popular agenda. what do you think? is populism on the rise generally in europe? we have seen it arguably in italy, but in front national front didn't do so well in the last presidential election. it is sort of a mixed picture, isn't it? there is no question we are seeing populist movements on the left and the right getting more traction. there are not that many governments you would define as populist in the european

union, though there are some examples, austria, hungary, areas which cause concern for people who value liberal tolerance and internationalism. they are having traction because i think the sort of liberal world order that has prevailed for the last 30 or a0 yea rs has prevailed for the last 30 or a0 years has not valued enough sense of people's place and identity. and what we need to do is find a way to give people back that sense of identity but without resorting to the sort of white as snow nationalism that bannon and his ilk are peddling —— ethno nationalism. and the head of bet365 has hit the jackpot. they are putting her pay packet at £220 million, but with bonuses and everything else it is more like £265 million last year, and that is an extraordinary wage

package for anyone. the £220 million was her pay package in 2018 and the extra £a5 million was the dividend for the family business that is bet365, which was started in a car park in stoke. it is still family run, it is phenomenally successful. there will be no restrictions on christmas shopping in that household, i don't think, and yes... hard to know what to buy her for christmas. goodness me, it was very difficult, something home—made. pottery, perhaps. they are hugely involved in the local economy in stoke—on—trent, having bought the foot ball clu b stoke—on—trent, having bought the football club and the dissipating bear. this is an extraordinary amount of money to burn over a lifetime, let alone a single 12 month period. ijust hope that she continues, as she does up to a certain point, continues to invest a lot of that in philanthropy and making a difference, because the

gambling industry itself, this is not a mission purpose driven industry which is improving people's lives. and there is a lot of concern about gambling generally at the moment, about young people especially becoming addicted, and it is as addictive as drugs and alcohol. it is, and there was a story in the daily mail front page yesterday about the problems with young people, 55,000 young people have a problem gambling, as you say, they are gambling more than they are doing their other usual vices that we talk about. also, i think, online it is very easy to gamble. it is like spending online when you are not handing over physical cash, you can rack up debt very quickly in an online betting account, and it is everywhere and we all carry smartphones. and it is advertised relentlessly on the sport channels, and so on. and children have access to the internet at all times. if you are going to place a bet, if you go

in physically and hand over money you have to be over 18 to go in, they can see how old you are. that is different from when you are online and there is no control over it. the express have a shocking rise in child diabetes, 700,000 people suffering type 2 diabetes. there is a certain amount of confusion in this story because the headline says child diabetes, but the statistics, 7000 people with type 2 diabetes, which is linked to obesity rather than just which is linked to obesity rather thanjust being which is linked to obesity rather than just being a pancreatic disorder, it is 7000 young people, so disorder, it is 7000 young people, so under the age of 25. we don't have a breakdown of how many of those under 18, how many kids, but we do know that obesity is the public health epidemic of our time. 7000 people is a lot of cost, especially that can run... if you are 18, that could run another 50 yea rs of are 18, that could run another 50 years of being supported by the nhs. this kind of long noncommunicable disease is driving the cost of the nhs and putting it under enormous

strain. and this is a new problem. it has been driven by obesity, the data they have is from gps‘ surgeries, and this is the highest figure they have ever had. i think when you have type 2 diabetes in children, it is a much more aggressive condition than it is when they are older. you are talking amputations, heart disease, but publications are huge. for the individuals, primarily, and for the ca re individuals, primarily, and for the care they are going to have to do meet out. lets end with the daily mirror. they have a story about prince william, because he was talking yesterday about how he had been tipped over the edge, really, when he was an air ambulance pilot, just buy some of the traumatic experiences he had had to deal with, and this is about the mother of one of the people he tried to help praising his heroics. yes, so sarah's sun robbie was 16 and he

drowned, there was an attempt by prince william, one of the people that prince william was talking about —— son. it is a reminder that he spent some time having a proper job, and not an easyjob, not a job that i would have the character or the resilience to do, let alone the physical skill to fly a helicopter. and it is great to see that, you know, the contribution he made recognised by this mother who nevertheless suffered this tragic loss. but it is also great, i suppose, that he has been quite open about talking about the impact that had on him, in terms of he found it pretty traumatic, frankly, and both he and harry have been very good about talking about mental health issues generally, and just opening up, and things that used to be perhaps something that you wouldn't talk about, they are talking about very consciously, very openly. yes, he spoke about... because he is a father now himself, and i think... he didn't talk about being softer,

but said he would find it more difficult to deal with having had children and knowing what it would be like if anything ever happened to them. prince harry as well, like you say, they have spoken about therapy and speaking to other people about it, and just makes it seem much more normal to people that are suffering ona normal to people that are suffering on a daily basis with their own problems. it does seem to have had quite an effect, just generally being very open about... especially men, as well. let mac we saw michelle obama in her memoir talking about getting couples counselling with the president. it is really important for people to talk about and normalise that idea of seeking help when you need it. good to talk to both of you. thank you, polly mackenzie and lynn davidson. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it is 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.

thank you, polly mackenzie and lynn davidson. goodbye. welcome. without a competitive win this year, and relegated from their nations league group, martin o'neill and his backroom team have left their roles with the republic of ireland. he said it is with a heavy heart he leaves, following a run of poor results. joe lynskey reports. one was the tactician, the other had the temperament. it was the blend of personalities that ireland hoped would promise so much. and it comes now. the public have scored, and the

place is going mad! —— the republic of ireland have scored. this was the high point of o'neill and keane's revolution, a win against italy took them to the knockout stage of the euros, but the next cycle would bring harder times and key players‘ retirements were exposed in world cup qualifying, where ireland's hopes of reaching russia were ripped apart in a play—off. it was also a campaign where keane's personality tested the squad. rows with players went public in leaked recordings. clubs and colleagues got on the wrong side of the assistant. you're asking me about the criticism of players. this is is my responsibility, totally my responsibility. results do fall under his responsibility and 2018 has seen some of the worst. relegation from the nations league was confirmed with just a single goal in their four games.

a new manager will go straight into qualifying for euro 2020. the results haven't been good enough and the manager always comes under pressure, ultimately the fia, it is mutual consent, they've parted company. i do think if they are still there he would have qualified. o'neill spent his career as a premier league mainstay, but at 66 years old, he could now choose to walk away. it was the job and the characters that once got this nation excited. but now, irish football faces another rethink. in a career which saw him win four premier league titles with chelsea and a champions league crown, didier drogba has announced his retirement at the age of a0. hejoined the london club in 200a, but finished his career playing in the united states. the only player to score in four separate fa cup finals, he also scored the winning penalty for chelsea in their champions league final victory over bayern munich in 2012. he has been paying tribute to the club. the club changed me, improved me,

and always the more i was scoring goals, the more the support was coming, and really... like, we've been chasing best champions league for, what, eight years together, and to win it the way we did, to suffer the way we suffered during the final, i think there is nothing more than this kind of relationship, you know, that i share with the chelsea fans. professional football association chief executive gordon taylor has called for a full and open review into the organisation's structure. taylor has been in charge for 37 years but has come under recent criticism, including from the union's chairman, ben purkiss. more than 300 current and former players have also reportedly signed a letter calling for taylor to resign. taylor said criticism must not be swept under the carpet. great britain's women have qualifed for next year's eurobasket after an impressive 83—a2 win over portugal in manchester.

rachael vanderwal was the top—scorer for the brits, with 21 points. here is herfirst of five three—pointers. gb needed to win the match to seal top spot in their qualification pool and guarantee their place at eurobasket in latvia and serbia next year. that's all the sport for now. time now for your latest weather. there is a widespread frost setting out there, especially across the eastern side right now. —3 in rural east anglia, but that frost will migrate further west overnight with the clearer skies. so frosty start in the morning, cloud increasing quickly in the east with a bit of patchy, light rain and drizzle, and that will extend further westwards during the day. so by the afternoon, sunny spells in northern ireland, parts of wales, south—west england, maybe the south and west midlands. temperatures around six to nine

degrees, some in southern england to 10 celsius along the coast. not as windy, so it won't feel as cold. cloud overnight into friday morning so cloud overnight into friday morning so not so much in the way of frost. a few heavy showers trimming the far south—west of england. patchy rain through parts of eastern scotland although anywhere the cloud is thick enough it could be a bit drizzly. a lot of cloud and as friday begins a few sunny spells developing. damp in eastern scotland, it could be heavy and thundery with hail in the far south—west and some of us, just some of us, going into double figures. i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines: don't cross the royal red line — saudi arabia's foreign minister tells the bbc neither its king nor its crown prince are linked to the murder ofjamal khashoggi. and it is when you have individuals calling for the removal or replacement of elito. that is

ridiculous and an acceptable. —— of a leader. that is ridiculous and not acceptable. life in prison for the briton accused of spying in the united arab emirates. i'm babita sharma in london. also in the programme: supporters of an internationally—acclaimed photographer who's been freed from jail in bangladesh, are calling for all charges against him to be dropped.
