weather. donald trump. in the meantime, let's catch up with the weather. a mild day today with temperatures reaching 13 celsius and it has been mild in terms of the winter here in the uk. not a lot of snow. however, behind this cold front we now have no showers setting in across shetland. there is a bit of a taste of winter out there but it is a glancing blow, really. as we go through the night it will be cold and cold on the mainland scotland with patches of frost but otherwise tell other much cloud around and too windy for any cold weather overnight. temperatures dropping to between six and eight celsius, something like that by the end of the night. for many of us it will not be a particularly cold start although there will be some frost in scotla nd although there will be some frost in scotland and then turns cloudy with patchy rain. a few showers elsewhere but across western and southern areas we will see the mildest weather. were as across the eastern side of the country, that is where
11:31 pm
it will feel much colder compared to the weather we are seeing over the course of the weekend. temperatures are five degrees in aberdeen. cold weather does not last long, through monday a warm front pushes through followed by another front bringing heavy rain to the highlands of scotland. it will be a wet spell of weather. to the south of this a lot of dry weather. there will be quite cloudy but some bright sunny spells, particularly to the east of high ground. it is mild, temperatures at ten or 11 degrees with which is reaching seven in shetland, tuesday night sees the rain finally move from scotland across northern ireland and pushing into parts of england and wales where it will continue southwards on wednesday. this cold front head southwards so we still have some reasonable temperatures on wednesday with a high of 10 degrees but the further north the cold of the air gets and will be cold enough for some snow in the high mountains of scotland
11:32 pm
temperatures and a fine of around five degrees this from there as we head through wednesday night and into thursday we've tried to draw a cold are wind pushing southwards. 0n thursday a bright day with plenty of sunshine after a cold and frosty start. chilly and the wind and although most of us will have dried weather with sunshine it will be cold. some showers around, and a few wintry ones sneaking down the north sea. we may even see a flake of snow. muffle many of us but turning significantly colder later this week. hello. this is bbc news with myself, lukwesa burak, and my guests. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines here on bbc news: theresa may has warned mps preparing to vote on her eu withdrawal deal that a failure to deliver brexit would be "a catastrophic
11:33 pm
and unforgivable breach of trust in our democracy." a man is questioned by the police after an 11—year—old boy is killed in a hit and run accident in beswick in greater manchester. three people have been killed and a fourth is missing after an avalanche near the austrian ski resort of lech. there have been more than twenty weather related deaths across parts of the alps this month. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are business journalistjohn crowley, nice to see you, and rachel cunliffe, comment and features editor at cityam, good to have you back. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in, and on the eve of a crucial week
11:34 pm
in westminster it's unsurprising that brexit dominates the headlines. the financial times says theresa may will tomorrow warn eurosceptic tory mps to back her deal in tuesday's vote or risk losing brexit altogether. "24 hours to save brexit," leads the daily express, writing that mrs may is racing against the clock to get the support she needs. the metro says it will be "may's last bid to take back control". if the pm fails to get the deal through, the daily mail has details of what it calls a plot by rebel mps to take charge of brexit. the guardian understands the eu is ready to offer a delay to brexit until at leastjuly if mrs may loses the vote. the daily telegraph reports that some mps in favour of another referendum will publish draft legislation to give voters a choice between her deal or staying in the eu. and aside from the action in westminster, the times has
11:35 pm
a photograph of waves breaking in front of whitby abbey in north yorkshire, with warnings that a cold snap is on its way. those are the front pages. let's have a little chat withjohn and rachel and, as we said, brexit dominating. do you want to start with the times‘ lead story? dominating. do you want to start with the times' lead story? yes, theresa may trying to rally key votes for her brexit vote on tuesday which she is almost certainly going to lose in the hundreds. it will be a massive defeat for the government but she is trying really hard. and in previous weeks the focus has been on the chaos of a no—deal brexit, and the economic and logistical cost of that, now she has turned the
11:36 pm
table and she says if the deal fails we could be permanently shackled with brussels and she is going after the brexiteer mps to say if you vote down the deal then maybe brexit won‘t happen at all. down the deal then maybe brexit won't happen at all. it is not a very compelling message from her just to kind of... she is saying... you can see where parliament is beginning to take control over the affairs. you saw last week where dominic grieve on the amendment, they had to come up with a plan within three days if the meaningful vote on tuesday doesn't work, so she is going to the brexit support heartlands of stoke—on—trent, who voted overwhelmingly to leave, so trying to break out of the westminster bubble perhaps one day before we will be accessed with the westminster bubble on tuesday but... the express says 2a hours. westminster bubble on tuesday but... the express says 24 hours. 24 hours, yes,. as rachel was saying she could lose the vote by hundreds and they
11:37 pm
are almost trying to portray that if we lose by less than that, we might have something to play with, so this is not normal politics, but on we go. not normal politics, well, before we move onto the express front page, what do you make ofjohn bercow‘s involvement and recent actions? it was unprecedented, clearly it was him going against parliamentary procedure and precedent, however, if you look at everything that has happened over two years, both on government and the opposition side, they haven‘t acted in accordance with parliamentary tradition, this is the new normal pushing rules to their limits and that is what we can expect. as you were saying earlier, kicking back came down the road, well, he would argue you have to come up with another deal or another plant in three days rather than try and extend and we will talk about this in the guardian, which is...
11:38 pm
maybe we can move into that, which is that the eu may be ready to delay brexit, i think they described it as a technical extension, until july. you work out how much that would cost, didn‘t you? you work out how much that would cost, didn't you? the back of a postage stamp, if we pay £39 billion for the divorce bill, if we stay in for the divorce bill, if we stay in for another three months, it could be another £800 million, theoretically, but, as you were saying, there are lots of other problems with this. yes, the eu say that if theresa may loses the vote and survives as prime minister they would be prepared to extend the process untiljuly and they came up with a technical extension whatever that means untiljuly but this misses that the european parliament has elections coming up in may. so first of all parliament will change and secondly, if we are in the eu in may, do meps stand? do they not? are
11:39 pm
we in the eu without parliamentary representation? there are problems with giving more time and extending it beside the cost and the logistics, and that is one that no—one seems to be talking about. talking about timing and clock counting down, so if viewers have joined us we will show them the front of the daily express very quickly and that was 24 hours to save brexit, the race against the clock to halt the blocking of the axis, then as we were discussing, the guardian talking about extending the guardian talking about extending the time eu ready to delay the brexit as theresa may makes a final bid to save her deal. 0k. let‘s now turn to the second story on the front of the guardian, universities should give offers after results day. you like this story, rachel?” like it, we should do this, it says that in the current system you get conditional offers or unconditional offers when you haven‘t done your a—level results at some point in january to march, then you do the
11:40 pm
exams and sometimes you miss your offers or your offers, you do better than you thought you would do, and there is a scramble, called clearing, and it would be simpler if universities didn‘t make any offers on till after a—level results and people can apply with the results they have, they would work for the results because it would mean something and then they delayed the start of the university term until november to give time for the process to happen over summer. i think this is a really important idea. it says that the current system was set up in the 1960s when 596 system was set up in the 1960s when 5% of school leavers went on to university and now it is closer to 50%. it makes much more sense. yes, it isa 50%. it makes much more sense. yes, it is a bunfight at the moment. maybe it will be changed by the time your kids are doing it. yes, lets hope. let's go back to the times, the rising cost of pollution and air
11:41 pm
quality, a big subject over the last seven days, particularly with the groundbreaking decision to perhaps allow air pollution to be put on a death certificate, if you caught that story, a schoolgirl who was killed from an asthma attack following deadly and unlawful levels ofair following deadly and unlawful levels of air pollution. yes, part of the government's air— pollution strategy, which will be published tomorrow, and the telegraph have another angle oi'i and the telegraph have another angle on the story about that with michael gove and what it is saying is in the space of... there was a draft version in may which estimated by 2030 the cost of dealing with this, childhood asthma, heart disease, other debilitating conditions would stand at 2.5 billion and now they think 3.5 billion by 2030, and this is obviously a huge cost on nhs, on
11:42 pm
resources, so is obviously a huge cost on nhs, on resources, so if you can tackle the problem of air— pollution, resources, so if you can tackle the problem of air—pollution, you know, first of all, you won't have the problems down the line. it is incredibly difficult to measure. we know that if you have less air pollution you will live longer and be healthier but it is really hard to measure it. that is i think what the government is trying to do. baby steps. you can feel it when you walk out of london and you get breathless and you can taste it in the air. it is really important to do. a reminder that the government has things to do that are not brexit. it will impact people‘s lives. things to do that are not brexit. it will impact people's lives. let's turn to the telegraph, and great news if it is true, suggestions it might happen, that wimbledon will honour andy murray. a statue. you have seen him in action. he is wonderful. you can... you could feel, when he was playing, the force of the crowd behind him up on henman hill, now it is murray mount, and
11:43 pm
the two—time wimbledon champion, he has revitalised british tennis in a spectacular way. and we will miss him when he is gone. he was as a teenager, he came onto the scene with massive fuzzy hair, very dour and grumpy, and it tooka with massive fuzzy hair, very dour and grumpy, and it took a while for us and grumpy, and it took a while for us to warm up to him, and perhaps the press gave him a raw deal as well. he hasjust gone and proved himself, two—time champion of wimbledon, the us open, the davis cup, he comes across as a good bloke, as a normal, decent guy who hasn't changed much despite all of the success, and to see him break down, that was the thing, he broke down, that was the thing, he broke down in 2012 when he lost to roger federer and we saw a different side to him. when we saw that, at the us... the to him. when we saw that, at the us. .. the australian to him. when we saw that, at the us... the australian open, then he came back to win it. this is a guy who is showing his emotions. i don't
11:44 pm
think anyone would complain about a statue being erected. and of course he has a huge number of female fans just because of his support for gender fairness just because of his support for genderfairness in the just because of his support for gender fairness in the sport. and equal pay. i hope he can come back asa equal pay. i hope he can come back as a commentator. we are waiting for andy murray murray mount now. it is hugely exciting. it would be interesting to hear his views from the broadcasting box.” interesting to hear his views from the broadcasting box. i love this neck story. it is on the front page of the financial times —— next story. we are all affected by this, sleep. the exhaustion sector boom amid warning over sleep, people finally realising we don‘t have enough sleep, it is having an impact on productivity and the economy because we are exhausted all the time. the market slant on this is that there is a huge industry, sleep crackers, you can drink tea, there are audio things to listen to... did you say crackers? trackers. 0k.
11:45 pm
are audio things to listen to... did you say crackers? trackers. ok. i am reading a book on the importance of sleep, which has scared me now so much i am unable to sleep because i am so much i am unable to sleep because i am so anxious about it. we have realised it is a health story, not just a kind of niche wellness thing, it is about health. we should say as we approach midnight that we are grateful that everyone is staying up with us to listen to us tonight. speaking as a young father, this speaks to me when the boys come in at night and, yes, wake us up. have you bought into the sleep industry? i have out tracker which measures your steps. i look at how much sleep i get. and then it will weigh on your mind, like i haven't had much sleep, i must be tired, so it is a self—fulfilling prophecy. sleep, i must be tired, so it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. anyone watching this now, you are getting blue light from the tv that will stop you from getting to sleep. don‘t say that yet. stop you from getting to sleep. don't say that yet. don't switch off. give us a couple more minutes. it is interesting.
