11:30 pm
avoid a far. 50 most of us will avoid a frost, a far. so most of us will avoid a frost, a mild night saturday morning. and then on saturday we are waiting for something were to come oui’ waiting for something were to come our way. it is in northern scotland in fact with cold air in the north of scotla nd in fact with cold air in the north of scotland likely to see some snow may be not just of scotland likely to see some snow may be notjust on hills, whereas elsewhere some rain moves across northern ireland, slowly reaching western scotland, wales, westernmost england, to the east of that increasing cloud and staying dry. it is another mild day away from northern scotland. as we saw earlier thatis northern scotland. as we saw earlier that is all about to change going into pa rt that is all about to change going into part two of the weekend. low pressure will move across the uk, sweeping that rain east on saturday night. on sunday it is still close by so it's still going to be showery. as we change the wind direction to a northerly some of the showers will be wintry, that means there will be some snow, maybe not just on hills, scotland, northern ireland, northern england, maybe feeding further southwards as we go into sunday night. so that is the cold wind direction, gusts are going to be stronger by the way as well, so to be stronger by the way as well, so it is a windy day on sunday. this is what it will say on the
11:31 pm
thermometer. we have already lost thermometer. we have already lost the double—figure temperatures and the double—figure temperatures and the winchell becomes a factor. it is not the coldest day we have seen in terms of the weather but it will feel closer to freezing further north —— wind chill. now for monday ata north —— wind chill. now for monday at a few wintry showers may be affecting south—eastern parts to start the day, coastal showers continue as the day goes on. for many, though, it is looking dry and there will be some sunshine around with mid—to—low single figures, so again you will notice things have gone back to that coalfield. now it looks as we go into the first half of the week things will have a little bit of a lull for a time. there is still a lot of uncertainty but it looks like towards the end of the week we will see more vigorous weather systems starting to push back alli way. and when they bring the most in across the uk it is likely that some of us will see more snow out of that, just a question of how many and how disruptive it will be, because we are on the northern flank of the jetstream, very much in the cold airagain flank of the jetstream, very much in the cold air again next week. so to sum up our next week is looking, temperatures below average, still
11:32 pm
not horribly cold, mind you, some sunny days, wintry showers, prolonged rain and snow late in the week and we are back to frosty nights. ben has talked about daytime temperature trends, mild at the weekend and going down. this is your overnight temperature trend in birmingham and we are back to frost. if it is this cold in birmingham you will know in the countryside it will be even colder. if you are looking forward to a mild blip, it is all too short. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. former scottish first minister alex :: if lzzr zilgi—x and wales. the search for the missing plane in which the footballer emiliano sala was flying to wales on monday has been called off. his sister has pleaded for the search to continue. the queen has spoken in favour of
11:33 pm
individuals seeking common ground and never losing sight of the bigger picture in a speech to mark the centenary picture in a speech to mark the ce nte nary of picture in a speech to mark the centenary of the sandringham women's institute. the united states has continued its attacks on the government of venezuela, describing the president as corrupt and undemocratic. protests continue against his rule. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are brexit editor of the daily telegraph, asa bennett and political correspondent of daily mirror, nicola bartlett. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the i lists the sexual offence charges former scottish first minister, alex salmond, is facing. he insists he's innocent.
11:34 pm
the telegraph focus‘ on mr salmond being charged with two counts of attempted rape, following a four month investigation. the picture on the guardian shows alex salmond leaving edinburgh sheriff court following a private hearing — he refutes the allegations. the financial times says theresa may is coming under pressure from business leaders to rule out a no—deal brexit. the daily express has a story about whitehall officials making emergency preparations for the uk leaving the european union without a deal. the times leads with comments from the queen — urging the country to ‘seek out common ground' over the divisions caused by brexit. the daily mail reports that jack shepherd is using uk taxpayer's money to fund an appeal against his manslaughter conviction while on the run while he's paying thousands to lawyers in georgia to fight his extradition. the daily mirror claims jack shepherd enjoyed ski trip
11:35 pm
and boozy night outs while evading justice. a variety of stories making the front pages, with many leading with the charges that have been brought against alex salmond. no, let's start with the chancellor and no deal is a betrayal of the referendum. many will remember that the government was saying no deal was better than a bad deal. that was the mantra last - and then that the mantra last year. and then that position is now dead and buried as we see here tonight. - hammond ii? iii iii??? eifiififiiz ffiilifii héfifififii is making clear that hejust ii? iii iii??? eifiififiiz ffiilifii héfifififii is making clear that he just wants people to take this deal because no people to take thisjealbecausejo is i; bad, in a sense. people to take thisjealbecausejo is i bad, in a sense. he% deal is really bad, in a sense. he says that no deal is a betrayal of the referendum and he feels it does not deliver on the proceeds of brexit in a sense although many
11:36 pm
supporters would disagree, given they call it a clean break. that's with no attachments to the eu. i think it highlights the key thing that there is a gulf of opinion in the tory party about whether at a no deal is fine or whether it is a deal oi’ deal is fine or whether it is a deal or nothing. it is interesting that he has come out and said this so clearly and blatantly. this is not what the government was saying just a few months ago. he is one of several remain cabinet ministers who are becoming more and more vocal about the dangers of no deal. i think it also mentioned here that amber road has failed to rule out resigning if she is forced to vote against amendments that would effectively rule out no deal. she is another who... she effectively rule out no deal. she is another who. .. she is effectively rule out no deal. she is anotherwho... she is not effectively rule out no deal. she is another who... she is not so gone, gone so far as to say it but is edging towards a position. the
11:37 pm
interesting thing is that too many people, theresa may is saying that i'io people, theresa may is saying that no deal was better than a bad deal was ludicrous is that puts her in this difficult position and now the government is slowly trying to row back and make people realise that actually no deal is serious business. that is her reason why the ministers are being allowed to freelance a little because nothing can be done to stop them. so not because she has given them free rein but because there is nothing she can do about it? yes. i think so. the front page of the independent... if theresa may has problems so does jeremy corbyn. labour overall opinion. on one hand there would like the government to make time for a soft brexit but it would also like to make time not holding a second
11:38 pm
referendum right now but more of a consideration, legislation, just think about it, how would go about it? a consultation, if you like. and some mps are outraged by this and are throwing their own members into the soup of the debate next week and some say they definitely want a referendum, and this question, trying to be more explicit. the problem is they will not get anywhere because they lack serious support. it is just renegades. anywhere because they lack serious support. it isjust renegades. a frustrated cry that shows the divide in the labour party. exactly. there isa in the labour party. exactly. there is a spread of opinion, as you say, throughout the labour party and it all goes back to the conference motion that they agreed on in september which they proudly say was agreed unanimously. the reason for
11:39 pm
thatis agreed unanimously. the reason for that is that it was so broad. it has various stages to eat. firstly it says that negotiating a deal that has a customs union with the eu and single market access and protects them rights of workers. they can't do that if they want a general election. and then everything is on the huge table. they have tried to call a no—confidence motion in theresa may and that failed. there was a suggestion that they would keep calling them and they have not ruled that out so we could see another. but then the next stage is many different options including a referendum. the idea was to keep all the pro— referendum mps onside and to keep all their membership, most of whom support a second referendum, while at the same time many of their vote rs while at the same time many of their voters are pro— brexit. theresa may has been trying tojuggle. and the labour party has been doing juggling
11:40 pm
of its own. quite an extraordinary state of affairs. let's go to the front page of the financial times. we were talking earlier about philip hammond and amber road, and their worries about a no deal brexit. part of that is informed by the industry chiefs imploring the prime minister. cabinet remain as would - the cabinet remain as would credit the business groups and the business people for leading the debate on ideas such as a transition period. and now they are listening to the business people on matters of no deal brexit. madness says one business chief. it is striking because airbus has stuck its neck out in the language it used and disarmingly admitted it was asked to speak out by the government. and so we return to the chat earlier and it
11:41 pm
seems to be roguish and freelancing for them to say how bad no deal was. they are trying to implore business groups in their own way but given the other side of the cabinet is brexiteer is, they talk about a mitigated no deal. they would be surprised by this given they think backstop would be managed if needs be. it shows that troops are being rallied. hammond has business people on his side. and yet business, by and large, has been consistent in its worries about no deal. the interesting thing is that in the run—up to the referendum, these fears were expressed by the business community. maybe not quite so clearly. airbus was quite strident and said that it was disgraceful how the government handled brexit. but
11:42 pm
all through, people who support brexit have dismissed these fears as project fear. and it has become a sort of conspiracy that business basically want to remain and because of that they talk of these fears. the closer you get to march 29, the less i think that holds true. these are serious big businesses who employ so many people in this country and they are talking about leaving. these are serious proposals. there are companies that have already left, companies that have already left, companies that have moved their european headquarters to frankfurt or amsterdam. i think that has kind of being one of the big problems with the debate all the way through. there was a distrust on either side and nobody gave credence to these claims. so project fear has, in a
11:43 pm
way, come true. just briefly, even if the head of air bus was put up to put his message out there, do that negate the message? let's put it this way. given that the telegraph, for example, we had the transcript ofa for example, we had the transcript of a call that clark had with business chiefs after the voted down. they said don't worry, no deal will be taken off the table and labour pounced. labour pounced on vat. some people say it is suspicious to have ministers working hand in glove with his nurse. it is the worst nightmare of the corbyn i. —— of the corbyn supported. the worst nightmare of the corbyn i. -- of the corbyn supported. moving on now to the front page of the
11:44 pm
times and a story that has made the news this evening. the queen calling foran news this evening. the queen calling for an end to the brexit feud. this is my favourite story of the day because the queen has been in sandringham at the centenary event of the women's institute there and she has been meeting members and i think she also took part in a pointless style quiz with the host at one point. she has made these comments which, obviously the times have associated them with brexit, which talks about seeking a common ground with people and respecting the opinions of others, coming together. it feels like your grandma telling you bickering children to simmer down. it feels a little bit needed at the moment because things are so needed at the moment because things are so fraught. there is such a lack of trust between different sides. i
11:45 pm
would not go as far as jacob rees—mogg who welcomes the idea that the queen steps in and takes charge but it does feel almost reassuring, i must say, to hear her say these sort of things. and i am not a monarchist at all. this may be a warning shot from her majesty. this message comes one month after the censor that message from her christmas message. and secondly, it is not explicitly linked to brexit. so for all we know it may be about the argument about somebody‘s sausage rolls. it may be about the argument about somebody's sausage rolls. who knows indeed. let's go to the front page of the daily express, gear up for
11:46 pm
no—deal brexit, this sort of contradicts when we started from, doesn't it? yes, of the express is basically saying that emergency preparations are going on in whitehall. they have treated the final stages of operation yellowhammer. and i think we have all known for some time that there are these preparations going on and various civil servants are being pulled off for things they normally do and have to think about, you know, possible delays at the border, problems getting things into the uk. soi problems getting things into the uk. so i think in a way you look at this and go, that's entirely sensible that there should be some plans in place if this comes about. of course the express is very pro— brexit and it kind of almost has a jingoistic front page, it will be all right, roll up, roll front page, it will be all right, rollup, rollup, front page, it will be all right, roll up, roll up, trying to put a
11:47 pm
positive spin of it, but obviously there is huge preparations going on in the background for what could happen if no—one can agree for the next few weeks, which looks increasingly likely. so there are more details on the inside pages. an absolute smorgasbord of detail, you can really feast yourself tomorrow, gluttonous with all of the stuff that there is, yes, dizzying array of figures about how many troops placed on alert for this, 3100, how much the contracts are for the emergency freight services, 13.8, by the way, good trivia, but there it isa very the way, good trivia, but there it is a very good reason for the minimal, even if you think, hang on, this will be wasted down the drain if we get the deal done and get it through, post brexit there is a need for the government to update its infrastructure anyway so it has to get ready for the deal because for example hmrc is updating its computer system so we can deal with the customs declarations and make sure the paperwork go smoothly. so
11:48 pm
there is still a need for lots of work from whitehall even if there is i'io work from whitehall even if there is no deal. ic, so it is a win-win. as such. that is what theresa may said. it is quite clear that honour you know, she can't necessarily take no deal off the table as we have said because it is the default position, legally the default position, she could make it a lot clearer that she doesn't want no deal and therefore she could have stopped some of this spending a lot earlier, spending which obviously, you know, the nhs desperately needs, nhs needs, the rest of it. but because we are in this impasse essentially it leaves them with no choice to make this preparation. can ijust disagree on that? because actually what important is maximum flexibility to plan for no deal because there was the amendment from mps to say that you can't use tax spending hours in the event of a no deal which is
11:49 pm
bizarre, trying to stop the no deal damage of it, but it could still happen. it would be like saying ok, lam going happen. it would be like saying ok, i am going to try to stop the fire by banning sprinklers, you know, you need to up their taxes to mitigate this. i am not quite sure about that, 0k. this. i am not quite sure about that, ok. iwill let this. i am not quite sure about that, ok. i will let you away with it. let's go back to the telegraph now and a story about drug security for new mothers. what is this about? the government has launched a consultation looking at kind of shoring up the rights of new mothers and actually possibly extending it to fathers and other carers as well. and it has some really quite disturbing statistics about the number of women that are badly affected when they come back to work after going away to have children. one in nine has either lost their job orfaced problems because of one in nine has either lost their job or faced problems because of it all have been treated so badly that they have ended up leaving. and i
11:50 pm
meani they have ended up leaving. and i mean i think it is part of this wider trend of basically looking at different people's needs in the workplace and, you know, trying to understand what can make people better at work. and there is definitely more of a sense of listening especially to women in but it is only a at)ut it is only a is l a more is only a is . airfare is only a come that l i jifélsimég: con i redundant. it is really small. and i think they are - to extend that redundant. it is really small. and i think months, - to extend that redundant. it is really small. and i think months, which o extend that redundant. it is really small. and i think months, which does end that redundant. it is really small. and i think months, which does extendt redundant. it is really small. and i think months, which does extend it [11119- el min-inna if it does more protection if it does actually become law. after consultation. become law. aflermnsultatmrr exactly, yeah. let's go to the front of the star, which has alli main point of the evening, really, the £270 t-shirt. -- our. we have really
11:51 pm
been sleuthing into this and you might see the ink smudge in the sense, it is not on the screen, nothing is wrong with your tv, viewers, instead it is a brand, prada, very tiny, what fashionistas call a white t—shirt. you may say you can get a plain white t—shirt for £2 in other outlets at all good high streets by these people are very confident you will pay the extra top dollar. would you pay £275 for a t—shirt? extra top dollar. would you pay £275 for a t-shirt? at anything i would pay that for any item of clothing. ridiculous! what would you pay? i think antenna would be pushing it —— i think think antenna would be pushing it —— ithinka think antenna would be pushing it —— i think a tenner would be pushing it. it is amazing what those labels and brands can do and people are so keen to have them that they would pay this enormous amount of money. absolutely. all right. we will leave it there. thank you both very much it's all there for you seven days
11:52 pm
a week at bbc.co.uk/papers and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. bye— bye. good evening, here's your latest sports news: we start with the cricket, after england were bowled out for 77 as a charged west indies took control of the first test in barbados. it was an incredible day in which 18 wickets fell in bridgetown. nick parrott reports. when england had to the west indies it is never easy. jimmy anderson can make bowling look it, still adding to his records. this was his 27th five wicket haul. no englishman has
11:53 pm
more. the host were all out for 289. while that was okayed the tourist‘s batting wasn't. the catcher shea hope, and with a measly 17 months that was england's top score. the lowest score in test history. it was like there had been struck down by something after lunch. jonny ba i rstow something after lunch. jonny bairstow needed some help. perhaps it came too late. his elbow ended his day in a strange way. joe root‘s leg was next to get in the way as england's batsmen stumbled. kemal roach claimed his fifth wicket with joss butler's dismissal and england we re joss butler's dismissal and england were humiliated on 77 all out. only twice have they managed fewer runs in the caribbean. for a while it looked like the poor batting was catching as england's bowlers picked up catching as england's bowlers picked up where they left off. when ali got rid of craig braithwaite with west indies on 52 it prompted a mini collapse. four more followed with
11:54 pm
just nine months. but that was as good as it got, after the ship was steadied. sam curran took care before there could be too much damage. england would eventually face the highest test case at this ground. and we had more drama this evening — this time in the football as chelsea provided the perfect response to manager maurizio sarri's public criticism to progress to the league cup final by beating tottenham 11—2 on penalties in a thrilling semi—final second leg. joe wilson was there. this was a football match under scrutiny. while fans were warned about anti—semitic language, police patrolled the streets before kickoff. we certainly heard a word, but chelsea's match programme urged supporters not to use it. under scrutiny on the pitch, chelsea under ritzier sari. he wants kante to become a goalscorer and this had enough to get through —— mauricio. .
11:55 pm
what about the best way to time of the talents of eden hazard? he started the move and he was there to finish it as spurs were under again. and the improvement from the players that chelsea's manager had demanded, well, we just witnessed that chelsea's manager had demanded, well, wejust witnessed it. one ci’oss well, wejust witnessed it. one cross and one had a can change everything. more determined to get to the ball, tottenham are back in the semi—final. 2—2 overall. no kane of course, and perhaps they could have done better. his manager sensed. penalties. remember eric dier at the world cup? he missed, mora did too. chelsea scored all of their first four. mora did too. chelsea scored all of theirfirst four. reaching mora did too. chelsea scored all of their first four. reaching this finalfor their first four. reaching this final for this their first four. reaching this finalfor this team their first four. reaching this final for this team right now means everything. stating with football now. monaco have sacked manager thierry henry after just three months in the role. henry was hired in october but has overseen a poor run,
11:56 pm
just five wins out of 20 in all competitions, which has left the 2017 french champions struggling in the relegation zone in ligue un. henry's assistant franck passi will take training tomorrow. england's matthew fitzpatrick is leading the dubai desert classic after the opening round. the world number 39 from sheffield carded eight birdies including the last four holes to finish on 65 for the day. he's a shot clear of eight others including compatriot callum shinkwin who got this eagle on the 17th. that's all your sport for now. from everyone here enjoy the rest of your evening. hello. we have some enormous temperature contrasts across the uk at the moment. and there is some enormous temperature contrast in our whether between what we have today and what we have tomorrow. yes it is going to turn much milder. whereas this afternoon we had temperatures and low single figures as we head
11:57 pm
into friday afternoon, 10— 12 degrees, a 10 degreesjump in temperatures and the reason for that isa temperatures and the reason for that is a warm front pushing eastwards across the uk at the moment. a big contrast outside at the moment, though. —3 at the moment in lincolnshire. it is already 11 degrees in parts of northern ireland and the isles of scilly as the mild air continues to waft in. so we continue with the east— west split. as well as that there are some dense patches of fog around lincolnshire and east anglia at the moment. so poor visibility continuing for a time. now into friday it will stay cloudy, rather murky over the hills and light rain and drizzle which will ease across eastern england by the time we get to the early afternoon. there will be rain at times for western scotland, but look at the temperatures. for most of us 10-12 at the temperatures. for most of us 10— 12 degrees, something a little bit cooler in the final for scotland. that takes us on into friday evening and overnight. it looks like we will see rain into northern scotland. it could be quite heavy as well. otherwise it is a mild night in store, quite cloudy,
11:58 pm
misty over the hills. capita is overnight between seven and nine degrees. so if we take a look at the forecast now for the weekend, and on saturday we have low pressure moving in. that will bring some rain. the wettest weather will be across northern scotland. the rain is no bad thing. january has been an incredibly dry month so far so we could do with some wet weather. that comes into northern ireland, western parts of england and wales getting wet. the rain not really reaching eastern england until well after dark. but it will be another mild day, temperatures between 9—11 degrees for most of us. the second half of the weekend gets much more cold. our area of low pressure moves eastwards into the north sea, we get the wind coming straight down from the wind coming straight down from the arctic. these are cold northerly winds, no doubt about it. rain loitering around the north sea co of eastern scotland, eastern england. we will see the rain turning to snow with wintry showers being blown down the irish sea. we could even have gales, perhaps even severe gales at times around western coast and
11:59 pm
hills. it is going to feel significantly colder, it will be cold as well, fact in the strength of the winds you will notice the chill in the air. so the mild weather only lasting a couple of days before it has called on sunday and then it is colder again into next week. that is your latest weather. re—buy. —— cold. —— goodbye. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore, the headlines: venezuela's nicolas maduro accuses donald trump of trying to overthrow him — as the us ramps up its calls for him to go. the us senate votes down two proposals to end the government shutdown — donald trump says he's willing to consider any deal the republicans and
12:00 am
democrats can agree. it depends what the agreement is. but i have a reasonable agreement, i would support it. —— if they have a reasonable agreement. i'm kasia madera in london. also in the programme. warmer weather means a less salty sea in the arctic — we'll explain why that's got climate scientists worried. and the boat that means these students in the philippines no longer have to swim to school.
