more of a breeze as well. the high—pressure bringing the sunny weather drifting northwards towards the near continent. allowing cloud and weather fronts to move into our shores. a different feeling for friday. outbreaks of rain. stronger breeze along the north sea coast. across the north—west, we can see the best of the sunshine and temperatures in the high teens. further south cooler. into the weekend, this slick area of low pressure will be influencing the weather and we could see rain across parts of scotland, northern england and northern ireland. further south, although quite a bit of cloud around, we should see the sunshine breakthrough. some showers developing. quite slow—moving. it may feel a touch warmer. much cooler
11:31 pm
in the north. on sunday, the winds even lighter. clouds and showers developing and slow—moving. into the sunshine further south we could make 20 degrees in the south—east and i7 degrees in the central belt. the jet strea m degrees in the central belt. the jet stream into next week is a pretty wea k stream into next week is a pretty weak affair. it meant we will see a week pressure pattern across our shores and indeed across the near continent. quite a bit of uncertainty to what is going on next week stop pressure will always be lower. high—pressure trying to build in from the north—west but it will not be strong enough height to kill off showers. although we should see some sunshine around, we are likely to see showers develop and some could be heavy with the odd thunderstorm mixed in. a high ground feature possible. variable clouds, sunshine, some slow—moving showers
11:32 pm
developing across central areas, particularly in the high ground but we could make 21 degrees in the warmer spots in the south—east. similar story into tuesday. very light winds, variable clouds but also the risk of some heavy and thundery showers. not feeling too bad in the sunshine. warm up for scotland. the sea pressure pattern through next week, you can see it staying a week. always a chance of high—pressure trying to build them from the north—west and we could see an area of low pressure moving in from the south—west. slightly warmer at than colder and so it should stay fairly warm when you get the sunshine and always the chance we will see some showers developing, some of which could be heavy and thundery. with lighter winds, these showers will be slow—moving.

hello. this is bbc news with martine croxall. we will be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first the headlines: theresa may agrees to set a timetable for her departure from downing street after the next vote on her brexit plans. she is expected to resign if she loses. meanwhile, the former foreign secretary borisjohnson says of course he will run for the conservative leadership. four people including three britons have died in a plane crash in the united arab emirates. officials say the light aircraft came down as its crew tested navigation systems. dramatic evidence from a nurse at the inquests into the london bridge attacks. helen kennett tried to save the life of this man and was stabbed herself. and president trump effectively bans the use of chinese company huawei
11:34 pm
in the united states, over security concerns. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the deputy political editor of the mirror, ben glaze, and deputy political editor at the daily express, sam lister. he couldn't quite wait to get back on air, running up the ramp towards me. tomorrow's front pages are all in. let's start with the financial times, and it leads on our top story. theresa may has promised to set a timetable for her resignation, and for the election of her successor, next month. boris johnson, the former foreign secretary, has confirmed he will run for tory leadership once mrs may steps down. that's in the the times. the mirror declares may ends
11:35 pm
injune, and it also reports on the race to replace her. a different story in the express. it reports on the campaign to make a cystic fibrosis drug available on the nhs. the metro leads on the london bridge inquest, and the actions of a nurse who spoke to her attacker, before he stabbed her. and iran has told militias to prepare for a proxy war in the region. that is according to a guardian exclusive. so a varied set of front pages, but the battle over the conservative leadership dominating most. she is not even gone yet. let's see what we make of that. let's start with the mirror, a great headline. the pm's final countdown, theresa may ends in june. the pm's final countdown, theresa may ends injune. why could she be going then possibly next month?‘ gift to headline writers, the prime minister's surname. she had a
11:36 pm
meeting with the 1922 committee, the executive ruling committee of the conservative party, and she has agreed that after the second reading of the withdrawal bill of the brexit deal in the first week ofjune, she will go and meet the chairman of that committee, sir graham brady, and she will set out a timetable for departure, whether she wins or loses. if she loses, and that is the odds on favourite result at the moment, she is expected to trigger the contest immediately. she will stay on as prime minister until there is a new conservative leader but if she wins that she will stay on longer and see through the process of brexit so she can take us out of the european union. either way, by the end of the summit we will likely have a new prime minister and conservative leader. she has always said she wanted to see brexit through, that is what she came into power to do and it has dominated her premiership. this will be devastating, and the picture on the front of the mirror, itjust
11:37 pm
tells 1000 words. she looks so broken, and it would be personally devastating for her to not deliver on the one thing she promised to do. so many times we have seen this, though, haven't we, that a prime minister is brought down by their own party, in the end, it seems. conservative prime minister is over europe in particular. it is a personal humiliation for theresa may, she came in on 13july in 2016, she had a great vision for what she wanted to do, to tackle the country's burning injustices, she just wanted to get brexit out of the way first, and it was always going to be far more difficult than she anticipated and she made it ten times worse by calling that snap general election in 2016 when she lost the slender majority david cameron have one for the conservative party, and now she will leave office more than likely without having delivered brexit, which was her raison d'etre for being an office. this focus on her being an office. this focus on her being in tears, which i understand
11:38 pm
is disputed, there are different accou nts is disputed, there are different a ccou nts of is disputed, there are different accounts of just how is disputed, there are different accounts ofjust how upset she was, it is that difference, isn't it, again in reporting how a female politician is said to have responded. i don't ever remember anybody talking about tony blair being close to tears or in tears, or david cameron being in tears, and it is kind of a classic thing, isn't it, the emotional woman, they can't keep track of their emotions. but who knows, we weren't in the room. certainly one of the briefings has been that she was tearful. whether she was tearful or not, it will certainly be a real crushing thing for her to face these suits who are telling her she has to go, it is over. and whoever had been prime minister at this point, an exhausting round of negotiations. yes, it hasjust taken exhausting round of negotiations. yes, it has just taken a exhausting round of negotiations. yes, it hasjust taken a huge toll on the prime minister. it will be
11:39 pm
exhausting, we are exhausted as journalist covering it, so lord knows how she is feeling as prime minister. talking about the emotions of it, it is disputed whether or not she was in tears, i do remember when cameron resigned the morning after the referendum, his voice did crack, i think it was i love my country, and you could hear his voice cracking, ok, nearly in tears. she has been forced out, if you like, of a job that she wanted. i don't think it is shameful at all if she did end up it is shameful at all if she did end up in tears. it is a natural human response, and i think a male prime minister could end up in tearsjust as much as a female prime minister, as much as a female prime minister, as well. looking at the times, why is it that she is pleading for time? to try and derail his ambitions? there is a sense, obviously it has never been admitted, but there is a sense that number ten do not want borisjohnson to be her successor.
11:40 pm
they'd rather it was anybody else, frankly, than him. there is a feeling that if there is a longer contest it gives an advantage to other candidates, and there is this sense that if there is some way of actually delivering brexit, it is better for the other candidates. they would rather come in with a clea n slate they would rather come in with a clean slate and talk about anything else but brexit. health, the national health service, or absolutely anything but brexit. but borisjohnson absolutely anything but brexit. but boris johnson and dominic absolutely anything but brexit. but borisjohnson and dominic raab, two ha rd borisjohnson and dominic raab, two hard brexiteers in this campaign, they have implied they are going to come in and save brexit. they have implied they are going to come in and save brexitlj they have implied they are going to come in and save brexit. i think when candidates do go out pitching for the support of the tory mps and the final candidates who are voted on by the membership, they need to
11:41 pm
be really careful with some of the promises they make. one of theresa may's fatal flaws was she completely over egged the sort of brexit she could deliver without ever building support for that. and you have to bear that in support for that. and you have to bearthat in mind, if support for that. and you have to bear that in mind, if you are going to campaign to lead the party, don't make promises you can't keep. to campaign to lead the party, don't make promises you can't keepm does depend on eu 27 who have consistently said we will not reopen it, the withdrawal agreement is what it, the withdrawal agreement is what it is. although we have european elections next thursday, the 23rd, even. the result of that will affect what happens next, because it could be quite a eurosceptic result across europe, and there are new posts, juncker and senior bureaucrats have to be replaced and senior mps will choose who replaces them, so it is not quite all as straightforward as
11:42 pm
europe would have you believe. where does this leave the no deal idea? leaving with no deal? it is still technically 31 october, halloween, the legal default is leaving without a deal. in reality, there is no way parliament will stick that. they have been shown to previously not tolerate no deal departure so however much boris johnson tolerate no deal departure so however much borisjohnson might go around campaigning, let's leave with around campaigning, let's leave with 3110 around campaigning, let's leave with a no deal, the arithmetic in parliament doesn't change. he can say that, but he is not going to be able to get that through the commons. mps have shown that time and time again. the only thing they are agreed on is they will not tolerate no deal brexit. talk us through how the conservative leadership election runs. it is up to the eu to really set the pace for this, obviously it is theresa may who decides exactly when she goes,
11:43 pm
although it is at gunpoint, it seems, at the moment, but then they will decide how long it will last. they will decide if it is a short or long campaign. but essentially it is the mps who choose which two candidates go for the party. so you candidates go for the party. so you ca n start candidates go for the party. so you can start with a huge number for the mps to whittle down. yes, there's going to be more than a dozen candidates initially, we think. if they get the support of mps, they will get on the ballot, and then technically they are knocked out one by one in rounds of voting which can happen overa by one in rounds of voting which can happen over a couple of days. although sam is right, the 1922 committee and decide they can have several votes on committee and decide they can have several votes 011 a committee and decide they can have several votes on a day, they make the rules up. in reality what will happen is if a few of them in one round get so few votes, they won't just drop out one at a time. three or four will go there is no chance of me winning, they will take their supporters to one candidate and hope for a big job at the end. in exchange for support or loyalty.
11:44 pm
when you get to the final two, those are than at the mercy of the tory membership. 120,000 grassroots activists, and they choose the new leader, and in this scenario that is choosing the new prime minister. the situation which is likely to unfold is that hustings will be held over the summer is that hustings will be held over the summer recess. is that hustings will be held over the summer recess. if you have a long, drawn out leadership battle, it gives the candidates an opportunity to be tested in front of the conservative associations. obviously theresa may had a coronation, really, there was never that vote of the membership. when they got to the final two, leadsom dropped out when we got to the final ballot. can you remember when the summer reassessment ballot. can you remember when the summer reassessment there was not a huge amount of politics? do you remember those days?” huge amount of politics? do you remember those days? i do, they seem very dim and distant. you are not going to get them again this year. let's finish this particular subject with this cartoon. i will tread
11:45 pm
carefully with this, and you will see why. the cartoon shows two pairs in the wood, one is holding some blue role, and he says boris? running for tory leader —— loo roll. you could sit there all year and never come up with anything that sums it up quite like that. thank you very much. the metro is where we will go next. hero nurse who stood up will go next. hero nurse who stood up to evil. this is helen kennett. yes, and she is an off duty nhs nurse. she was at london bridge on the night of the terror attack, and we are hearing every day now at these inquests into the deaths from these inquests into the deaths from the terrorist atrocity the sort of everyday stories of the ordinary people who are out and about in the restau ra nts a nd bars people who are out and about in the restaurants and bars at london bridge, doing what young people do ona bridge, doing what young people do on a saturday evening in that area, having fun with their friends, and
11:46 pm
this unimaginable horror just started to unfold, and these ordinary people, in an extraordinary situation, we are learning how they reacted, and helen kennett ran up to one of the terrorists and shouted what's wrong with you, before he stabbed her in the neck. two years on, finally hearing these individual stories. it must be so traumatic to have to relive it in this way, but incredible bravery, tojust hear this story. to have the nerve to be able to say, to confront somebody in that situation, ijust don't know how somebody would do that. but obviously who knows how you would react in that situation. that's it, isn't it, people react in such different ways. hearing the stories over the past ten days or so since the inquests started, you think i have drunk in those bars, been in those restaurants, what would i do? would i run, confront, shout what's wrong with you? you just don't know, i suppose, until you are in that situation. and obviously we hope we never are, but it is fascinating
11:47 pm
hearing how these ordinary people in that situation, what they do. absolutely. why so many teenagers needing these jabs? they are asking basically to step up and help all these people who were not vaccinated when they we re who were not vaccinated when they were children and it is because of one man who wrote a paper saying, linking it to autism. an astonishing impact from one man. wakefield. and he was later discredited but parents we re he was later discredited but parents were terrified by that point and the damage was done. it is difficult to persuade parents and we talk to parents at the time and they were wrestling about what to do in that
11:48 pm
situation. trying to restore faith in the jab, even now people are terrified giving it to their children. the legacy of that discredited paper is a long one. gps are usually at the top of public trust so if a doctor comes out and links it to autism, it has a massive effect and parents with newborn children, young children, wondering what they do and obviously they were fea rful what they do and obviously they were fearful because of what wakefield said. it was a time bomb which is now starting to see the consequences. a quarter of a million people who should have had the vaccine when they were young are now at university and measles levels are going up the universities are doing what should have been done when their children were young. to stop
11:49 pm
their children were young. to stop the spread it requires the herd vaccination, the critical number, the optimum number of children have to be vaccinated to prevent the spread. when they are choosing not to vaccinate children, they are relying on other parents to have their children vaccinated to stop whatever disease and it is quite a big impact. 966 cases of measles in england last year and that was up from 259 in 2017. the idea that it is just from 259 in 2017. the idea that it isjust a from 259 in 2017. the idea that it is just a childhood from 259 in 2017. the idea that it isjust a childhood illness is absolutely not true. it is an awful, awful thing to have and can be fatal. he did set this ticking time bomb and the consequences will be long—lived. 2005 was the worst case
11:50 pm
for children not to have been vaccinated. the herd immunity is a 95% stop these are high numbers. we rely on each other. when someone p°p5 rely on each other. when someone pops out of it, it does not work. just to say doctor wakefield was struck off. £4000 wind for a mere £622. you have eaten at this restau ra nt! £622. you have eaten at this restaurant! it is a very nice steak house in manchester. we probably had the house read. one lucky diner audits of wine and a poor waiter came back with a wine that was
11:51 pm
£4500. you cannot tell the difference but they tucked into the wine and the restaurant was doing really well and they have not blamed the waiter and said mistakes happen. you would be worried if you had made this gaffe. i feel some go for this poor training. this gaffe. i feel some go for this poortraining. —— this gaffe. i feel some go for this poor training. —— sorry. 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. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you ben and sam. do buy a paper, won't you, we don't mind which one. coming up next its sport.
