“eff "t “at? “72“? “0:12' ewle warning and a very really dramatic warning and a very big fear. she is basically saying if there is no deal than the chances of a referendum on the reunification on the island of ireland is ever more likely. which i have not heard anything quite dramatic warmth from her before. and she says this is possible in the terms of the good friday agreement, this is realistic, you could have a referendum on bringing the republic and northern ireland together. and i've said that isa ireland together. and i've said that is a huge threat to the dup to say get on board and vote for this deal, don't frustrated, do not push us to no deal. but i think that kind of threatening language in the dup, i do not think that works very well. they will not listen to them because of that. let's turn to the mail. still in brexit, but a bit of a history lesson. transports her to chris grayling saying actually if britain goes through something less than what mrs may wants, if we go

through a weak person or no personnel, there is every prospect ofan personnel, there is every prospect of an increase in neo—nazi groups emerging in this country and i think, i know he is talking about this on the back of these protest outside parliament in the last few days. pretty nasty scenes. and people from the left as well. guy coming to the bbc was simply abuse. this issue has divided the country more than anything i have ever known in my life. it gives a platform to people on the extremes right and left. and some of it is not very pleasant and he says we could face a situation and a sword —— an end to the sort of modern —— moderate politics since the civil war since about 100 years ago stop it have had karen bradley making dramatic statements. on that and then you

have chris grayling as well and he is saying that this could upset the moderate mainstream. it goes back to the restoration of 1660. he is taking us way back in time to paint this picture of 400 or so years of tranquility and moderation. all under threat. what you make of stories like this? i think it is really desperate last—minute attempt to try to win around mps. will this work with the british public was with some members of the public. with regard to extreme right wing groups, we have seen a hint of it already. i think you are right too. it is people saying do not let us crash out. the neo-nazi extremist groups, we have seen crash out. the neo-nazi extremist groups, we have seen it in london and elsewhere around the country. but i think they are small pockets of very noisy people who manage to

get a lot of social media attention and not immediate attention. but a surgeon and not immediate attention. but a surgeon neo—nazi extremist groups makes it sound like to me i think it is slightly overblown. we had that peak straight after the 2016 referendum and then there was a lot of hostile, negative action taken against migrants who were here. so now what they are saying is we could see a repeat of that post. let's turn to the daily telegraph. yeah, this was interesting. interesting figures to look at. and ofjail sentences under six months. figures to look at. and ofjail sentences under six monthsm figures to look at. and ofjail sentences under six months. it is a suggestion from mr stewart who is saying that short—term sentences do not work. his argument is it is not long enough to actually turn people around. and they go in prison, meet

some unsavoury characters, they possibly lose theirjob, maybe their marriage gets wrecked up by being inside, all sorts of things that happen and they go out and reoffend again. it's a waste of time and our prisons are full to bursting. he is suggesting and it is something scotland has tried that we do not impose sentences of less than six months unless it is a really serious opponents —— months unless it is a really serious opponents — — offence months unless it is a really serious opponents —— offence involved. that would free up the jails and give these people a better chance of rehabilitating them in the community and that and makes a lot of sense. why not? although sorry, you know there are exams and the knights of there are exams and the knights of the people in the mall. but prisons are overcrowded and have caused massive disturbances and... he has come up with a lot of interesting ideas. he has place to turn around ten specific prisons and he has set

such big targets and has said previously that he would resign if he can't turn those ten prisons around. and reduce drug use and violence. that's where he is coming from, he is a reformer. that is the kind of pressure he is under and putting himself under to make big changes. i think this is another interesting idea he has come up with. this would mainly, it is burglars and shoplifters who tend to get sentences of less than six months. i think burglars and shoplifters might not find themselves going to jail if this idea goes through. it says here of the 65,000 offenders, half of them and prisons were given sentences of less tha n and prisons were given sentences of less than six months. if this was to be introduced it would really clear out a lot of prisons and speedy —— free of spaces. what message does that give? on the subject of burglaries, the police were saying we will not bother essentially to

investigate. is it a crime that requires sending someone to prison? his point is that these sentences are long enough to damage but not enough to heal. if they're not going to have a sentence it would just be a community—based sentence instead. there would be punishment but it would be in a perhaps more viable way. that's a point i have made given the disturbances we have had in prisons, terrifying disturbances, given the drug activity and things that should not be going on in society let alone in prison, it seems to me a step in the right direction. to finish off on this and we are looking at what affects this does have saying it creates more space for education and workshop classes. i wonder how effective that is when you compare it to community service because when you're at your community i think there is something a little bit more of an impact when you are out amongst the people. and you are out amongst the people. and you learn more. and this is one of

the things he is advocating. i do not know the answer to your question. i think it would have an impact because if it is a lower level crime, it's going to prison and people who influence you and those associations do make in a short period of time that then affect your offending neighbour at a later date. perhaps that doesn't happen ina later date. perhaps that doesn't happen in a community sentence. western quickly to the front of the daily express. as a mum i am still surprised this is a story. why? because number one if my kid wants chocolate i would just say no and it isa chocolate i would just say no and it is a no. and number two haven't we seen this come over and over again? what is so different about this time around? nothing different except the problem has increasing. the best factor in this story which i read a while ago is one in three children leaving primary school are obese. and if this helps not in any way which... they will try

and if this helps not in any way which. .. they will try to and if this helps not in any way which... they will try to curb these special sales of buy one get one free or curb special sales by the tail. they say you can't have that. watts of mums do this. they have a stat saying seven out of ten parents will buy treats for the children if they asked for them at the till because i guess easier to get through. i definitely wasn't one of those kids that was allowed to. we have a obesity problem in this country. if you start with kids, again, i keep using the first step in the right direction. connect the nhs spends 10% of its budget on diabetes. that is worrying because thatis diabetes. that is worrying because that is the way south stop you if you to change in the nhs, this is the starting point. let's turn to story of the day really. the man who made the impossible possible and we're looking at that page of the times. andy murray, sir andy murray

who announced breakfast time uk time that the australian tournament could probably be his last because of his hip pain. i know about it, i have had my hip replaced. he has a different issue. it was a moving press conference. he broke down in tears and was so upset that he had to leave the platform and come back on again. hats off to the sky. he took a bit of stick early on note being accused of being boring and i thought a bit of it was because he was scottish and not english. at the end of the date this is the greatest tennis player we have ever produced, one of the greatest sportsman this country is produced and his achievements have been absolutely phenomenal. that first when within when was just so fantastic. everyone was united around the tvs watching it it was such a great day. i am not really a tennis fan but i really remember that and i enjoyed watching the mansion he made tennis so exciting and probably got a whole

generation of people thinking of british excellence in british is possible. he is big on equality and articles came out today about andy murray being a feminist. he had a female coach early in his career and he was strong to defend her because she got so much abuse and he got a lot of abuse for having a female coach. and he spoke about equal fees for female players. and he is obviously good to his mum. his mum had a lot to do that i met with that. there are some figures of him with his mum at the press conference cuddling with his mum.|j with his mum at the press conference cuddling with his mum. i think watching and running so much about anti—today when you put into context that the other greats he was up against... —— andy was up against was up we have had a bumpy year when the consumer professionals. rafael nadal, roger federick... don't

forget this guy was involved and started playing in aa lane. he was honestly a phenomenal player. the dedication, the training and hours he has given up, the agony he must've gone through physically and mentally, it is unbelievable. connect they say he is only 30 but he has been doing this since he is five years old. it is a punishing career. i think the emotion today showed this is not sunday he wants to do at all. this is too soon for him. we wish him well and thank him for his... sports personality of the year a few times as well. united a country. fantastic. that's it for the papers for this hour. thank you john and kate. you'll both be back at 11:30 for another look at the moments. iam back i am back at the top of the r with the latest headlines and stories. for the moment, goodbye. good evening. a fairly dry and quite

seem to the rather about the change of the next few days. high—pressure has estate in charge over the past couple of weeks. this was the scene at the sunset in west sussex on friday evening. through the course of the weekend there is a bit of a change afoot. things are turning milder and windier and there will be a mix of sunny spells but fairly heavily sunny showers. —— blustery showers. front moving to the southwest opening the doors for a series of weather fronts to move in through the weekend from the northwest. we are already seeing rain across parts of scotland and northern ireland. this rain will push for the southwards and eastwards tonight. we would then see rain through northern england, further heavy showers pushing in from the north and it should be

reasonably mild and frost free wherever you are first thing. saturday morning we will this most of the showers from the south and then a day of sunshine that more scattered showers moving on the northwesterly wind particularly affecting northwest scotland and england and north wales. elsewhere you will state drive for the day and in the sunshine temperatures mild, ten or 11 degrees but you will notice the strength of the wind on saturday and then things get even when you're through saturday night and into sunday. the next cold front making its way south eastwards across the uk. blustery conditions developing behind that band of rain. showers everywhere, but they will confine moser to the northwest through the day. southern and eastern parts looking drier with sunshine. but wind coming from the northwest could cost up to 40 or 50 mph especially around exposed hills and coasts. but even now, it is looking like a blustery day. temperatures on the mountainside. double figures for most places, just cooler across the north of scotland.

looking ahead to next week you will notice the blue colours returning to the map. we have had fairly mild air in charge but gradually those winds will be turning into a more northerly direction. for the next five days from monday to friday you will notice a dip in those temperatures especially through the second half of the week. things gradually turning cold after next week. a return to overnight frost and perhaps a chance of some wintry towers too. bye—bye. —— wintry showers too. this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 11:00pm: the government announces further changes to the roll—out of universal credit, as four single working mothers win a high court challenge over the scheme. andy murray, one of britain's greatest ever sportsmen, says he is retiring from tennis because of injury. i'm not sure i'm able to play through the pain you know, for another four orfive months.
