11:30 pm
bit of a country on saturday. a bit of a reverse of fortune. damp weather for scotla nd reverse of fortune. damp weather for scotland and northern ireland. further south, clouds breaking up, sunshine appearing. it will feel quite pleasant in the sunshine. also sparking off heavy, thundery showers and with lighter winds, these will be slow—moving. sunday, the pressure chart. still this area of low pressure, barely any isobars in the chart. that means the winds are going to be exceptionally light. a benign atmosphere. sunshine, showers, longer spells of rain, may be sharp showers further south as temperatures reach highs of 18— 20 degrees but even a few degrees warmerfor degrees but even a few degrees warmer for scotland. degrees but even a few degrees warmerfor scotland. into degrees but even a few degrees warmer for scotland. into next degrees but even a few degrees warmerfor scotland. into next week, sticking in the same pattern with sunshine and showers although the emphasis will be on drier weather. very light winds again. had cloud
11:31 pm
here and there. the chance of some isolated, heavy, slow downpours. feeling quite warm again in the south, next week, thejet feeling quite warm again in the south, next week, the jet stream will be a weak affair across our shores. a bit stronger moving out of newfoundland could spin up an area of low russia over the north atla ntic of low russia over the north atlantic and that might hurtle towards our shores by the middle of the week bring more substantial showers to northern and western areas. but the run—up to that looks fairly quiet again. tuesday is benign with light winds and variable cloud, signs of something a bit wetter across the northern half of scotland. a bit better through the central belt and we could see the low 20s across southern parts of the country. it looks like cloud could
11:32 pm
put up from the south—west. a band of showery rain will move through wednesday night and into thursday. all that strong may sunshine. that moves through the latter part of the week. then there are signs of high—pressure trying to build on across the north—west. ems shows it will be pretty warm throughout week. warmer times across the south. something cooler trying to nudge in into next weekend. you can see throughout the waste —— week, inland areas will see some showers. mainly over the pennines and into scotland and maybe wales. barely warm for the week ahead and it looks like it will be dry with sunny spells. some of
11:33 pm
these showers could be a little bit heavy. there are signs of it turning a little bit cooler later in the week. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines: the prime minister could now ask mps to vote on the best way forward, as labour and the conservatives fail to reach a cross party agreement. in particular, we haven't been able to overcome the fact that there isn't a common position in labour about whether they want to deliver brexit or hold a second referendum which could reverse it. divisions within the conservative party means the government is negotiating with no authority or no ability that i can see to actually deliver anything. the inquests into the london bridge attacks hear how a young nurse was killed, after rushing to the aid of one of the victims. a neo—nazi who planned to murder the labour mp, rosie cooper, is jailed for life at the old bailey.
11:34 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are benedicte paviot, uk correspondent for france 2a, and president of the foreign press association, and kate andrews, the associate director of the institute of economic affairs. welcome and thank you for being here. tomorrow's front pages are all in. let's start with the times — it carries a poll, which suggests the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson, is the clear favourite among conservative members to replace theresa may as prime minister. the same story makes the front page of the i, which also says mrs may clashed with the labour leader, after the collapse of cross—party brexit talks. calling an early general election, before delivering brexit, could result in a corbyn government so says the health secretary matt hancock, in an interview with the daily telegraph. a different story in the financial times. it leads with the plunge in thomas cook's share price,
11:35 pm
a day after the travel firm issued another profit warning. a warning in the guardian, it cites new research, which suggests air pollution may be damaging every organ in the human body. and, the express reports on a bbc one documentary to be broadcast this sunday, in which prince william speaks about the issue of mental health. so a varied set of front pages. tory rivals crushed byjohnson, the foreign secretary romping home. it is such a newspaper word, i don't think have ever used the word romping... not with regards to politics. laughter. party members asking whether they favoured him. surprise, surprise, they do. by
11:36 pm
quite a big margin. he is a clear favourite to be the next tory leader therefore the next prime minister, according to this poll and the figures do not bode well for anybody who tries to stand against him because it would seem that, as things stand, boris johnson because it would seem that, as things stand, borisjohnson gets 39% of party members. the second most popular, dominic raab, gets 13%. that is what he is accredited with another people are far further behind. in the head to head vote, if they were in the run—off, since the party which is two candidates to go to an election by the party members over the summer, that would mean johnson would when but mrjohnson needs to make the final two and also
11:37 pm
— they are always rushing in —18—20 candidates at the moment but they could be more. unlikely to be people who would want to thwart his ambition. he would be disappointed to be in the single digit. it is a good day to see borisjohnson but it is about putting his name on the ballot paper. there would be outrage if he did not make the paper so the grassroots can have their say that mps would know that he is likely to ta ke mps would know that he is likely to take the theme if he is there and they are very, very competitive but i think the figure to pull out is 70%. 70% think he is likely to win notjust the leadership
11:38 pm
70%. 70% think he is likely to win not just the leadership election 70%. 70% think he is likely to win notjust the leadership election but a general election and that is the really big question. as rex talks have broken down —— brexit, and it is not expected to vote gets over the line by earlyjune, for many people think there will be a general election. for a lot of people the appeal of boris johnson is election. for a lot of people the appeal of borisjohnson is he appears not to be afraid of a no—deal brexit. appears not to be afraid of a no-deal brexit. not only that i think he would positively welcome it. we should say this is a yougov poll in the times and, yes, what also comes across in the article is that borisjohnson, also comes across in the article is that boris johnson, again also comes across in the article is that borisjohnson, again a surprise, is perceived as a divisive figure. the stop boris campaign is a very real thing. there are a lot of divisive figures popping up again and the appeal for boris johnson divisive figures popping up again
11:39 pm
and the appeal for borisjohnson is whether he actively wants a deal or tolerates one critically he is willing to say to the european union, this is an option, something the prime minister promised was an option and then decided it was not and for many people in the party is something they look for. the mp said idid not something they look for. the mp said i did not want one. the maps do change. in june we i did not want one. the maps do change. injune we had a state visit from president trump. that — we have. if indeed the tory party comes forth or fees, the have. if indeed the tory party comes forth orfees, the bloodbath have. if indeed the tory party comes forth or fees, the bloodbath would be slightly delayed because of the bank holiday monday, and parliament does not come back till the fourth ofjune, but does not come back till the fourth of june, but what does not come back till the fourth ofjune, but what a week for those reporting it. there is such
11:40 pm
uncertainty once again for business, the pound dropped to its lowest level. and with the date looming, could the uk be out of the year by the 31st ofjuly — which happens to be my birthday. you have a busy summer anyway so you can forget that. put it on ice. plenty of things that has put on ice! secretary hancock suggesting this could be a scenario if brexit is not delivered before a general election. cabinet ministers and senior officials have been thing as of late, speaking to the lack of power numberio has over late, speaking to the lack of power number 10 has over the mp5 and i think this is a bit of an example of that. the home secretary coming out and speaking bluntly about the reality of a general election. his
11:41 pm
party is in a really bad place going into the european elections. and even going to a general election suggests the brexit party is taking votes away from the conservatives primarily. the chief whip was tearing his hair out about the lack of discipline. i think what we are witnessing has become so normalised we forget that to have prominent, absolutely senior people, i can think of a few doorsteps, where they seem to be giving instructions to the prime minister that all bets are off. it is quite an extraordinary three years after the referendum verdict, holding the european elections and we have the daily telegraph, alluding to the people surrounding theresa may but it could
11:42 pm
be referring to the prime minister who made this unannounced visit, a very controlled exercise in one room with one photographer, two cameras, looked into the barrel of the camera, slightly fluffed away to say we will deliver brexit and she meant to say conservatives will deliver brexit and these are the european elections she said it would never be held, she never wanted to be part of and it is quite an extraordinary situation and we will see if the polls are right because the brexit party could be in a very powerful position. we know nigel virage has been saying —— for raj, would expect to be at the table. // farage. when he is impressed he doesn't seem to have many policy ideas. the european
11:43 pm
union is the issue of the day. they are proud of the fact that they have brought together people who used to subscribe to a marxist agenda and radical brexiteers and brought them to the same agenda but can they unite on anything that isn't brexit. ruth davidson, just coming back from maternity leave, the leader of the scottish conservatives saying the person who needs to step into the role next is somebody who can reach beyond the divisions of the referendum and bring the country back together. i think that sentiment — she has not name names — but that sentiment would ring true for a lot of people but one that cannot come into play until the brexit debate is somewhat settled. she also said that it would make the public look again at a party they
11:44 pm
think they already know. 0bviously, some people would say she would be an excellent person to do that. would that be something down the line she would be prepared to consider. the daily mail and this is prince william speaking, losing my mother was like no other pain. this is ofa mother was like no other pain. this is of a bbc documentary looking at tackling mental health. we have seen william and harry and returning to it again. it is a very painful part of their past and they did not simply recover because of being a celebrity is unloved by the majority of the country but that every human being, royal or not, struggles with. exactly the kind of thing that should be doing with their position.
11:45 pm
as the frontpage reminds us, the numberone as the frontpage reminds us, the number one killer of men under the age of 45 is a suicide. that is something that can be preventable and something we need to talk about more. men are often pushed not to talk about their feelings but both men and women it is extremely important topic. fantastic to talk about something so important. not so long ago before princess diana became part of the royal family, unimaginable to have members of the royal family speaking out like this. you did not dignify something with that kind of comment. something he was working at the time with the bbc the night diana died and then finishing the week reporting on seeing william and harry walking behind that coffin for my office, under the glare, raw with grief... little boys. little boys who have
11:46 pm
now finally started saying how extraordinarily painful the loss of their mother was and i think having some issue with the fact that they we re some issue with the fact that they were walking behind but trying to use that experience to good and tackle mental health. we are all being encouraged to eat less meat. it isa being encouraged to eat less meat. it is a way to tackle climate change and global warming. and some people would also say it is better for your health. we forget again normalisation. 20 years ago we all knew the name vegetarians and possibly vegan but did we know these... i can tell you what i think
11:47 pm
that is, a vegetarian who also does not consume dairy. what is quite extraordinary is an emergence of substitutes and, of course, a huge downfall for meat consumption but, of course, that loss is other people's games so there is a lot of money to be made in these plant substitutes. some of the options, if you were vegetarian, it was like eating shredded cardboard. you have local producers who are becoming more united on this objective. i think it's quite exciting to see this choice. 0ne it's quite exciting to see this choice. one of my absolute favourite stories of 2019 was the vegan sausage roll which exploded back in january. not literally. there is a
11:48 pm
report not too long ago showing that greggs has benefited quite well because they brought in this vegan sausage roll. wonderful to see that people are asking for better alternatives and companies are providing. they are also savvy on social media. the guardian. air pollution damages every organ in the body. the better science measures, the more we are learning about something we all suspect in, and the reality is that it can have a huge impact on all of us but as we were discussing, particularly on children and the elderly, all of this is about doing what we can to tackle pollutants, climate change in a way
11:49 pm
thatis pollutants, climate change in a way that is sustainable for the life styles that is sustainable for the lifestyles that people become accustomed to. it's not realistic to ban air travel. it's all about moving towards something more sustainable. you need a consensus, a consensual movement. absolutely, and you also need the technological advancements to take over. i think we are seeing that, air pollution in london is going down, it's getting better. that's in part being driven politically, the mayor of london has a say over the zones where you can drive without having to pay the congestion charge. actually i would say it's been brought to my attention that people who for example go to mass, have particular point and saw things like that, a lot of people can't afford that and it is unfairon lot of people can't afford that and it is unfair on people who encouraged a few years ago to buy
11:50 pm
diesel vehicles and also blue badge holders are really getting hurt and stung by that so although those initiatives are extremely understandable and commendable, i com pletely understandable and commendable, i completely agree. needs to be done ina completely agree. needs to be done in a consensual manner. we haven't got time to create that consensus, we are told. we need to be careful about statements like that. we're going to have to deal with those trade—offs. going to have to deal with those trade-offs. i can't believe we're going to do this next story. page 35 of the times. exorcistjoin vatican defence against rise of the devil. where do you want to begin? i was most amazed because when they said who made this comment, i expected it to come out of sort of an evangelical church down in alabama
11:51 pm
that was also supporting the abortion ban but it's come from a vicar in the church of england and it doesn't strike me as a totally british thing to say but here we are. apparently 240 vicars were brought together from the catholic, anglican, and lutheran churches to discuss if exorcisms need to increase because more people are becoming possessed by the devil because movement people are moving away from religion. we require more spiritual hygiene. that part i agree with. if you've got no inner calm, you're going to project at another people personally and professionally. that's true, but it didn't necessarily have to be grounded in faith and religion? the word necessarily, no. it is some people's path but i think one of the obsessions of this speedy world
11:52 pm
which we all enjoyed to various degrees, gardening or listening to music, walking the dog, speaking to a loved one in your life. we are obsessed with changing other people and the only person you can change is yourself. that is extremely poetic and beautiful. it'sjust is yourself. that is extremely poetic and beautiful. it's just a fa ct. poetic and beautiful. it's just a fact. i agree with you about spiritual cleansing —— cleansing, whatever that means to you. according to this, the things that would happen with exorcists is not what we would want to project. it's getting confused with hauntings and ghosts. more common are hauntings. ina 16th ghosts. more common are hauntings. in a 16th century house, the priest was called, and dogs refused to enter. talking of dogs or cats, one has shuffled off this mortal coil by the name of grumpy cat, an internet sensation whose real name was
11:53 pm
ta rta re sensation whose real name was tartare sauce. age of seven, a urinary tract infection and the reason grumpy cat, who was a girl, had that fixed rectus, almost,... but if frown that was worth $1 million. she had an undivided. the most precious little thing, she will be missed dearly. there will be another one along surely. 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. a big thank you to my guests this evening, benedicte paviot and kate andrews. and from all of us, goodnight. good evening — here's your latest sports news.

great britain's tom daley and matty lee won gold in the 10 metres synchro platform at the world diving series in london. in only their sixth event as a pair, they sat in second place at the halfway stage but in the final round produced a flawless final dive to seal the win. they also set a new british record in the process. glasgow warriors were in irresistible form as they scored seven tries to dismiss ulster and book a place in next saturday's pro14 final at celtic park. they ran in seven tries at scotstoun to reach their first final since 2015 — when they won it. they'll meet leinster or munster who meet tomorrow. three tries in the last fifteen minutes denied salford a first win at st helens in nearly 40 years as saints fought back to extend their lead at the top of superleague. salford scored 30 points without reply to lead into the final stages but james bentley's late try was converted to earn st helens a 14th win in 15 games. elsewhere huddersfield beat hull kr.
