claire marshall, bbc news. now if you don't like heights you may want to look away for this next story. two window cleaners were left swinging over 250 metres in the air at the top of the devon tower — oklahoma city's tallest building — when their basket swung out of control. eventually, with the help of local firefighters the pair were able to lower themselves by tying the lift to the building. although the basket caused damage to the building, the cleaners managed to escape unscathed. now it's time for the weather with matt taylor. wednesday saw the peak in the sunshine amounts but also the peak in temperatures across the uk. the highlands the warmest place, decide —— just shy of 26 degrees. contrast
11:31 pm
with this, corsica on wednesday morning, snow over the hills quite widely causing problems and all that is being fed by the area of high pressure with cold air coming around, feeding down into the mediterranean. a chilly area of low pressure. it's starting to edge away a bit as we go into thursday and it means subtle changes. a few showers in western scotland, low cloud across orkney & shetland. after a sunny start in england and wales, a bit more cloud building up into the afternoon, particularly the south—east midlands. a fresher field along the eastern coasts, temperatures down on the past few days but very pleasant in the sunshine, reaching the low 20s in a few sheltered western spots. thursday to friday, the easterly breeze develops more with cloud for england and wales and showers at night but stopping temperatures from dropping into friday too much. the
11:32 pm
chart for friday shows low pressure south, high pressure over scandinavia and we are in between, easterly wind in this weather front is to be the focus of showers working south in a few showers here and there coming and going through the day on friday. what's more cloud, sunny and dry across scotland and northern ireland and we can see temperatures into the high teens, making it feel wasn't. temperatures drop relative to the first half of this week, certainly feeling cool across those eastern coast. maintaining that easterly flow by and large through the weekend, low pressure to the south—east but we could see a trough, a bump on the isobars pushing across scott on. enhancing the showers across the northern half of the country, a greater chance of getting wet. we will see a few showers cropping up and they will be slow—moving. some of us will stay completely die —— dry during the day. the winds light across the south side might start to feel a bit warmer. across the border, saturday into sunday,
11:33 pm
broadly low pressure in charge, atmosphere a bit unstable. a few showers cropping up but wind will fall mainly light. you see a shower on sunday, potentially heavy and thundery, the greatest chance of showers will be across the northern half of scotland and with light winds down the south, we could see temperatures 19, 20 which for some will feel warmer than it has during the week. next week, a bit of uncertainty. low pressure to the south—east. isobars open out. putting us in no—man‘s—land. varying amounts of cloud, the odd shower p°ppin9 amounts of cloud, the odd shower p°pping up- amounts of cloud, the odd shower popping up. pinpointing the exact where they will be is the big question mark. when you get the sunshine, feeling pleasant. beyond that, two possible scenarios. the european model would start start with low pressure, low pressure to the west and low pressure which becomes dominant. that brings the south—westerly have low. keeping dry
11:34 pm
conditions to the south and east. we think low pressure will always remain to the south—east. higher pressure to the north and west. that means a general north—easterly flow will keep things. hello. this is bbc news with carrie gracie. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. itv‘sjeremy kyle show is axed for good following the death of a participant in the programme. steve dymond was found dead a week after his pre—recorded appearance — itv‘s boss says her decision was prompted by the gravity of the situation the inquest into the london bridge attacks hears how the only briton to be killed was helping a woman when they were both stabbed to death.
11:35 pm
cabinet ministers warn theresa may's brexit deal will be "dead" if the bill does not pass in the commons injune when mps come to look at this bill and they come to vote on this legislation, i'm sure that they will be thinking of the duty that we have to ensure that we deliver on the vote of the british people. us president donald trump has declared a national emergency to protect us computer networks from "foreign adversaries". hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are political editor of the new statesman, stephen bush and the brexit editor for the telegraph, dia chakravarty. mos tof tomorrow's front pages are now in. let's start with the metro.
11:36 pm
mps have launched a probe into reality tv programmes, following the death of a man who appeared on thejeremy kyle show. the same story makes the front page of the i, which also says a mental health charity has welcomed itv‘s decision to axe the controversial daytime show. jeremy kyle is "heartbroken" following the death of steve dymond, who was on his show. that's according to a mirror exclusive. the uk and us are at loggerheads over the threat posed by iran. that's on the times' front page. the financial times reports that president trump is likely to defer a decision on eu and japanese auto tariffs, while the us continues to battle china over trade. the telegraph claims backbench conservative mps are plotting to force theresa may from office within a month. the supervision of offenders in the community is to be undertaken by the state in future — so says the guardian. and the daily mail hails a "new dawn" in the battle against cancer, with scientists set to develop a range of new drugs. so a varied set of front pages, but the jeremy kyle show
11:37 pm
cancellation dominating — let's see what our reviewers make of some of the stories. where should we start? another plan to get rid of theresa may, this time by changing the rules of the tory party so they can have another go at getting rid of her before time is up. wide inside the story, they are quoting several people who really, not exactly putting the knife in but saying times up. you could say knife. we saw that in the house of commons when a senior backbencher stood up and said, when are you going to go? one interesting point to note here is that theresa may already faces a no—confidence vote from her grassroots members on the 15th ofjune from her grassroots members on the 15th of june so from her grassroots members on the 15th ofjune so what is now being
11:38 pm
discussed is when the back benches can, if that happens, if the grassroots members get rid of her and back benches, because they are not being able to do that, that would be quite embarrassing for conservative mps. here, what they are talking about is, before that happens on the 15th ofjune, they can get together and get rid of their leader. it's all very,... procedural inside westminster. yes, but as stephen was pointing out, the prime minister is removed, there might be a heightened chance of a general election which reflects us all. this funny cartoon. conservative, we are the only party committed to getting rid of theresa may on the doorstep. it's quite cool may on the doorstep. it's quite cool, isn't it? it's hard to know whether this is tragedy or comedy.
11:39 pm
it's a very nice referencing of the fa ct it's a very nice referencing of the fact thatjeremy hunt came a cropper. now course, they are trying to get rid of their leader, having failed to do so in december. we have a situation where we know the majority of conservative mps would like to leave the european union. a majority of conservative mps would like to get rid of theresa may. who knows what they will vote against? in defence of the brexit supporting mps, they would say that exit deal does not represent their version of exit. on this, they have really messed it up. from december, they didn't want to do this but now they are desperate to do it. so much so that they are changing the rules. we are entitled to stand down the phone. anyway, let's move on. this
11:40 pm
is the story that has dominated the news agenda all day and indeed yesterday, given parliament is going to the select committee. to explain to the select committee. to explain to us what is going on here. this is the very sad story which is leading your bulletin today which is that a 63—year—old man, steve dymond, has killed himself. after being humiliated about his personal life. suchis humiliated about his personal life. such is the nature of the show but after this tragic incident, the show has actually been axed from itv but now a group of mps are looking at this part of our entertainment, is actually looking at other similar shows, other reality tv shows work contestants, who do appear voluntarily, are put under immense
11:41 pm
pressure both well on their show. once they have left those shows, when they have become infamous in some cases, when they have become infamous in some cases, and whether there is enoughin some cases, and whether there is enough in place to provide them with the support once they've left the public eye, which they will not have been used to in the first place. the other thing about it is not the point that looking at the duty of care, for the select committee is also going to be looking at whether there has been encouragement to indulge in extreme behaviour is the language they have said. whether or not beforehand, people have been encouraged to do so. whether or not the whole product is designed for a heightened sphere. what's interesting is, the line that may run and run is him saying he is utterly devastated about his tv show being axed and in many ways, most
11:42 pm
people, that feel a bit tasteful, but the cancellation is the thing. i think that is going to be the trigger of a very big conversation about reality television, how we treat people on our, the kind of... we only have the front page. it does strongly imply that that is what he is devastated about rather than the death of a guest. it may be the way they treated the quote. it slightly perplexing. we should suspend judgement until we've seen the whole quote on the inside of the newspaper but anyway, as you say, a lot of questions to answer and notjust for itv and other broadcasters but regulators, politicians and viewers as well. all of us, really. let's have a look at the guardian. this probation story. they're this is the story of another one of mr
11:43 pm
grayling's perhaps questionable success is in his position, various cabinet positions, he had overseen the privatisation of the probation process which seemed to not have worked at all in making sure that people who are in probation i looked after but also the general public is safe from them. just after five yea rs i safe from them. just after five years i think, it's now going to be nationalised again. in order to correct the deficiencies in that service but it's also worth noting it will be a mixed process where the private sector is still playing a pa rt private sector is still playing a part in the provision of services with about $280 million —— £280 million worth of contracts for fixed services but the private sector will not be in direct contact with the people in probation any longer. the national probation service is going to be in charge again of 250,000
11:44 pm
people. some people told them back in 2014 that this was not going to work, the privatisation, admission of failure at last. this was a disaster long foretold and they didn't think it was a good idea. the labour opposition didn't think it was good. since the election, you've had various people who replaced chris grayling and as have many have, they walk in and take over the mess. and it's astonishing it's taken this long to unpick a mistake. it's astonishing he is still there. he is free to do this again to the transport system. it's utterly bizarre and no wonder people feel disillusioned if they can't deliver. fair point. the front page of the
11:45 pm
financial times now. a former us trade official has said you can't pick your enemies, you need to pick your battles. it's interesting that he says enemy. it's not a war in that sense but a tariff wall still some sort of battle but the parties are engaged in but donald trump has dodged an immediate collision with the eu and japan on trade by deferring a decision to impose tariffs on cars and car parts by up to six months. what this article points out, it's a temporary sigh of relief. the threat of that tariff will still very much a on the table for the most 2019. itjust shows these decisions have a global impact. and the uncertainty around
11:46 pm
it, even if there is a shorter pause and we've seen she is recovering, when the threat remains, the uncertainty remains and that's not where people want to be. racing is the idea of this word, enemies. if you are going to take on china you might want to think of them not as enemies in waiting but on side? yes, you would. but it speaks to the donald trump philosophy on trade and he believes there is no such thing as the mutual beneficial deal. but there are only losers and winners. in many ways, they talk about the biggest enemy but they have also chosen the ha rd est but they have also chosen the hardest enemy. they have voter
11:47 pm
pressure in america but not in china. the ruling party in china can resist this. china and the us other big global engines and if one of them sneezes we all catch a cold. big global engines and if one of them sneezes we all catch a coldm is not easy to see right now how they find the offramp for that particular trade war. britain and the us in the spat over a threat from iran. the us is saying we have quit this nuclear accord and that iran isa quit this nuclear accord and that iran is a growing threat. the uk top general saying we do not think there isa general saying we do not think there is a rising threat from iran at this time. it is customary for allies to fallout but it is particularly sensitive with the us and uk because they are part of the five i
11:48 pm
partnership. ask, australia and i will not get into the others because i may forget one and embarrass myself. . the us does not have a strong intelligence led case and it is about various domestic difficulties. this is really interesting. we see over the nuclear accord, the europeans and brits have been desperately trying to hold it together and presumably this is one aspect of the dilemma. together and presumably this is one aspect of the dilemmalj together and presumably this is one aspect of the dilemma. i would add one thing, this article seems to suggest — i have not been able to read the inside page — the central intelligence that the us has shared with britain is at the core. it does
11:49 pm
not seem to say they have lost faith about whether us is intelligence led but how much of that they have shared in order to convince our administrative defence to go ahead with it. worth noting there is an internal conflict in this country because it says foreign and commonwealth office are angry. it is important to handle allies. so that the fallout is not irreparable. it is interesting that there are different ways of looking at this even within our country. very briefly on the eating less fat cutting breast cancer by faith. the reason why this is important is suggest cutting down on meat and
11:50 pm
dairy, particularly if you are over 50, it reduces breast cancer. these are done in a way which is hard to work out whether they were working in different industry but it is more statistically robust and suggests that, unlike most of the toast gives you cancer et cetera, there is some serious truth in saying that cutting down on meat and dairy is good for reducing the risk of breast cancer. one last health story. it is a chipper one. a new dawn. by next spring we are looking at this huge treatment facility, a huge research facility in this country where nearly 300 experts will be looking at different ways to look at cancer
11:51 pm
so instead of battling cancer, we will be looking at managing cancer and getting rid of some of the very harmful treatment, like chemotherapies and trying to work out whether we can just attack those cancerous cells and we can find a way of living with cancer but healthily enough so that we die of other things rather thanjust cancer. it means we look at cancer differently and it becomes liveable with and if we can achieve that, that would be absolutely...m with and if we can achieve that, that would be absolutely... it would be transformative. it would. cancer treatment has gone in huge waves in terms of paradigms. in the 50s and 60s, you hack away at the tissue. now we do not treat cancer in that way. this again might be a new
11:52 pm
paradyne which changes how we treat cancer. doctors always have that slight morbid quality. my grandfather was a doctor who died of cancer and he said to me, i am disappointed not to seek and secured because i have always been fascinated to see what human beings will die off when we have killed cancer. thank you both so much. that was great to talk to you. 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.
11:53 pm
good evening. here's your latest sports news. derby county beat leeds 4—3 on aggregate in the championship play—off semi—final to book their place in the final at wembley. the hosts, leeds, had a one goal lead from the first leg, but this leg though saw 6 goals, two red cards and momentum shifting continuously. craig templeton watched it for us it has been 15 long years without top—flight football. this was a chance to return to the big time. stuart dallas sneaked in to give them the lead. the home side still looked nervous and jack murray must have noticed from the bench, scoring with his first touch to give derby hope. the hope turned into belief as the thai was balance. i now the game
11:54 pm
was frantic. liam cooper had other ideas. wilson did not. lead were not done it yet. dallas's second made it 3-3. done it yet. dallas's second made it 73-73. what done it yet. dallas's second made it 3—3. what was that about cool heads? leads down to ten men. and a super sub broke three. there was no sound of marching on together and it is frank lampard a's side that much on to wembley. the flash march on. scotland today named their 23 player squad for their first appearance and a women's world cup. and they used children from a primary school in hamilton who had the chosen players on their backs. defender rachel corsie will captain the side, with arsenal midfielder kim little as her deputy. they are in a really tough group, facing england first on 9th june, japan, who were runners up at the last world cup and argentina.
11:55 pm
the only notable absentee is arsenal defender emma mitchell. it was probably the hardest thing i had to do in my career as a manager. i sympathise with them. i know they will be disappointed, angry, frustrated and i totally understand it. the meat is so difficult and it has been such a competitive environment and that is what we have wanted. as much as it has been hard, i think we are in a good place to go into the world cup with the squad selected. england cricket captain eoin morgan scored the winning runs against pakistan in bristol yesterday but he's suspended for the next one—dayer at trent bridge because of his side's slow over rate. morgan has also been fined 40 per cent of his match fee. the rest of the england players have been fined 20%. jonny bairstow was also reprimanded and given one demerit point
11:56 pm
for hitting the stumps with his bat after being dismissed yesterday. bangladesh beat ireland in dublin in theirfinal match of the tri series which also involves the west indies. they batted first with paul stirling leading the way, hitting a century. william porterfield also made 94. they finished on 292 for 8 from their 50 overs. bangladesh eased to their target with seven overs to spare. they'll meet the west indies in the final. great britain are likely to have to beat france on monday to avoid relegation from the ice hockey world championship. that's after they lost their fourth match in a row in slovakia, this time a 6—3 defeat to the usa. cardiff devils‘ goalie ben bowns made 59 saves for great britain earning him the man of the match award and a standing ovation. they'll play finland tomorrow and slovakia on saturday, but are unlikely to beat either. that's all the sport for now. good night.
11:57 pm
this is the weather and for many it has been warm once again. we had the peak of the warmth for this particular spell today. we had just about 26 degrees celsius in ireland, and scotland. we had 15 hours of sunshine and shipments are no surprise the sun is pretty strong however it is going to move away because the high—pressure is drifting northwards allowing this easterly breeze to take over the uk and pulling in more cloud so that combination, more cloud and breeze. it will still be chilly in some areas tomorrow morning. very isolated mist and fog which will clear. some sea freight and a low cloud and perhaps a few showers west of scotla nd cloud and perhaps a few showers west of scotland later. for most of us it isa of scotland later. for most of us it is a rather lovely, warm, dry day. more cloud making its way west and crossing into wales. this takes
11:58 pm
temperatures down, notably on the east coast but, even though we are down temperature wise, the sun is just as strong. as we go through tomorrow night and into friday, we will pick up a little bit more cloud to bring a few splashes of rain. we start to see the weather deteriorate. i know we need the rain but unfortunately it does not look like it will be a great deal but it will help to blanket the following temperatures for many except in the north and west and it is here where we keep and warmth into friday and for northern ireland. the breeze filter all the way east and west words. we will fill that affected by friday with temperatures in northern ireland down again. suddenly with the brisk breeze on the north sea coast. for the weekend, we keep more cloud, generally speaking. we will
11:59 pm
lose the wind but slow—moving showers instead. the devil is in the detail really. the jury is out for this one. south we turn to lighter wind and sunny spells. temperatures are not wind and sunny spells. temperatures a re not really wind and sunny spells. temperatures are not really recovering. still average for the time of year as opposed to above. it will not feel quite as it chilly. by sunday less rain in the north. the drier half of the weekend as it stands and temperatures might pop back up again. i will have more later.
12:00 am
welcome to newsday on the bbc. i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines: president trump declares a national emergency to stop us companies using any telecoms equipment from foreign companies seen as a threat. a call to action from new zealand and france to stamp out violence and extremism online. global tech giants promise to act. it is pleasing to see the statement from five major tech companies committing all of them to a set of individual actions and collaborative actions as well. i'm samantha simmonds in london. also in the programme:
