. tel-n“ us, but a fairly weak ridge of high pressure allowing the weather fronts to make inroads. through wednesday we will continue to see outbreaks of rainfor we will continue to see outbreaks of rain for the northern isles, which will be quite persistent. the rain thinking further southwards. we have a zone of cloud stretching from north wales over to lincolnshire which could produce drizzle. for many places wednesday will be a fine, dry day, lengthy spells of warm sunshine. in that sunshine temperatures could reach 21 celsius ifa temperatures could reach 21 celsius if a south and east. into thursday, a bit ofa if a south and east. into thursday, a bit of a pincer movement going on with the weather fronts. they're not going to an hour —— amount to very much at all. there will be outbreaks of patchy rain across the northern half of scotland and generally more cloud. gradually through the day northern ireland will see the crowding police and perhaps the southern half of the uk. further brea ks southern half of the uk. further breaks allowing for sunny spells. once again, feeling warmer that sunshine found was the far south and east of england. into friday, it

looks as though this weather front will bring a bit more in the way of cloud and, perhaps, some outbreaks of rain. after what will be a fine, dry start, lots of sunshine around first thing, particularly the eastern towards the south of the uk. cloud increasing from the west. the chance of showery outbreaks for the midlands later on in the day. when we hang onto the sunshine, once again it will feel pleasant. mid—teens to early 20s. into the bank holiday weekend, it looks as though low pressure systems will have a greater influence on the weather. it will be more unsettled. rain at times. some dry, sunny intervals. breezy, particularly on sunday. saturday is shaping up with a dry start, best of the brightness towards the east. cloud increasing from the west throughout the day. outbreaks of patchy rain in northern ireland, the western fringes of scotland. where we see some sunshine, towards the far south and east, that is where we will see the highest of the temperatures. into sunday, this weather system looks

11:33 pm
dry, sunny intervals, there is rain in the forecast. many places may remained dry. hello. this is bbc news with carrie gracie. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment, first the headlines: theresa may says mps have one last chance to deliver brexit and promises them a vote on another referendum, if they back her bill. the government will therefore include in the withdrawal agreement bill, at introduction, a requirement to vote on whether to hold a second referendum, and this must take place before the withdrawal agreement can be ratified. but the labour leaderjeremy corbyn says his party would not support the bill, and says he can't see how it would get through parliament. we can't support this bill because it's basically a rehash of what was discussed before, and it doesn't make any fundamental moves on market alignment or the customs union, or indeed protection of rights. british steel workers wait to hear
11:34 pm
if a government rescue deal can save their company from collapse. almost 5,000 jobs could be at risk 1,000 jobs are lost atjamie oliver's restaurant chain, as it goes into administration. the celebrity chef says he's deeply saddened. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sebastian payne, the whitehall correspondent for the ft, and caroline wheeler, who's the deputy political editor at the sunday times. —— sunday times. in tomorrow's papers, it's one story dominating the front page, that's theresa may's new brexit deal, which she announced this afternoon. the times says tories reject the deal, with dozens of mps denouncing it as irresponsible. the telegraph, calls is desperate, deluded and doomed, claiming more than 50 tories will rebel. the financial times also talks about tory fury, highlighting anger over her
11:35 pm
consession on a second referendum if mps don't vote her deal through the commons. the guardian says her final effort falls flat, as mps reject her new deal. the mail calls it a gamble too far, saying that even labour have rejected her bid for a new deal. something different in the mirror though, leading on its own exclusive saying 70% of young people say cyber bullying is rife, calling for an end to online cruelty. let's see what our reviewers make of it all. sebastien, let's start with you. let's look at the front page of the sun, a reference to the photograph which is not flattering but obviously a more worrying thing for the prime minister, a suggestion there will be a coup. theresa may gave this big exit speech in central
11:36 pm
london today, her one last chance to get her deal through parliament and to do that she hung all sorts of different prizes out there to appeal to different sorts of mps, alternative arrangements for the irish border question to appease eurosceptics, a stormont lock which would ensure northern ireland can't divert from the rest of great britain to please the dup and the potential promise of a second referendum vote or a permanent customs union to win over labour mps and the whole thing has fallen flat. all those people, the prime minister wa nted all those people, the prime minister wanted to try to convince, have said no thank you, we're not interested and the result has been that she's annoyed and awful lot of people, including those eurosceptics in the tory party, many of whom want her gone anyway, but they're now saying they're going to move against her even sooner they're going to move against her even sooner and on the front of the sun they say the 1922 committee grandees in the tory party will meet again tomorrow and it will be
11:37 pm
another push to get theresa may out now. we know the prime minister will resign at some point this summer whether there's a deal or not, but the amount of anger, everyone has been taken aback by it, even while theresa may was speaking, eurosceptic mps were tweeting to say i'm not voting for this. people like jacob rees—mogg, boris johnson, dominic raab, leadership contenders, saying even though i voted with her last time, i won't this time. is this the end of the road for theresa may? this was her hail mary to get this thing through and now it doesn't look like it's going anywhere. caroline, was there something that could have worked here? do the papers even think about that or are they too busy hammering nails in her coffin? blue there's an element of both, we've gone a long way down the road ever since chequers, there's certain things that came up early on that were so unacceptable that came up early on that were so u na cce pta ble to that came up early on that were so
11:38 pm
unacceptable to brexiteers particularly in the party, it would be hard for them to find a way back and we've seen those buttons that have been talked about that have voted consistently against the deal and we're not going to change their mind —— spartans. and we're not going to change their mind -- spartans. it was packaged up asa mind -- spartans. it was packaged up as a bold, new offer, and that was difficult, but when you look at it a lot of it are things that aren't entrenched, they are things that are aspirational, like sebastien was saying, around the irish border question, seeking alternative arrangements. there's been talk about that before. actually what the brexiteers want is something very concretely in that withdrawal of, something which only the european union can guarantee. it falls very much short of what they wanted and similarly, in terms of promises around the customs union, the big over chore she's made to the labour party, what they're talking about is something very temporary and the problem she has with this is with her own future looking so uncertain, it's difficult for her to make
11:39 pm
promises to anybody without having them underpinned in anyway, even there's a lot of fear the person replacing her is likely to be a hard brexiteer, so it's difficult for her to make any commitments that anybody will have a thought trust in. that's a lot of the problem. and then, the financial times, their headline... an attempt to bring on the remainers a little bit has actually backfired with the brexiteers. is one quote in our front with the brexiteers. is one quote in ourfront page story with the brexiteers. is one quote in our front page story tomorrow which said it's fundamentally the same deal but worse with lots of other crap thrown in and this is a total lack of leadership and desperation by the prime minister. that sums up how the eurosceptics are feeling, it isn't a new deal, it isn't fundamentally changing, and for them it has more bad stuff. the idea of a second rev from, saying to the 100 also labour mps who want a second
11:40 pm
referendum, saying if you back ideal now i will give you another vote on a second referendum but that vote failed the house of commons last time, there is no base it would go again, and as caroline was just saying, we know her time in office is coming to an end and we know someone is coming to an end and we know someone like boris johnson is coming to an end and we know someone like borisjohnson or dominic raab is going to replace her, they're not going to want a second referendum because they want to brexit over the line and we saw peter kyle, one of the labour mps whose been leading the charge for a second referendum, he said he's not getting involved and not voting for the pm pass deal because i don't trust her and that's why we are in this mess —— pm's. she hasn't built any trust with the opposition parties. she tried to get this through with her own party and the dup, who are propping her up, who are notionally, i should say, she said we were going to have a customs union and now it looks like we might, she said we would have a
11:41 pm
second referendum, now it looks like we mightand second referendum, now it looks like we might and mps are saying why should i get on board now? own party doesn't trust her, labour doesn't trust her, looks like the end of the road. final gamble is there subheading, hardliners and labour. it raises the question of whether there was a different kind of bold offer at this point which threw somebody out of the basket and went firmly with one side or the other. that's been part of the problem the whole way through, what she has been trying to do and what the labour party to be fair have been trying to do, to appeal to both remainers and brexiteers within parliament and that's been the problem consistently, who you're going to appease and who you're basically going to upset. you have to make a decision at some point and unfortunately yet again we got to a point where no decision has been made. again, to be fair, she's tried it with ways, we've tried appealing to the brexiteers before and that's when we saw the kit malthouse proposals, they didn't go anywhere
11:42 pm
and then it became obvious to lots in herown and then it became obvious to lots in her own party and those advising her that she wasn't going to get a deal through without the support of either labourmps deal through without the support of either labour mps all the remainers in the party. she's tried to appeal to them as well but now she's trying to them as well but now she's trying to do both things in the same piece of legislation, which is almost impossible, and again it's what we've seen with the labour party trying to appeal to the brexiteers in the north of england and remainers in the south, at the end of the day you simply have to make a decision and i think that in a huge problem all the way along this. but in this one the other problem, as we said, is about the trust issue but what she's basically saying is vote through the deal and we'll sort it later and the problem with that is we don't know if she's going to be in power very much longer, but also its a blind brexit and what about the leveraged you've got? if you've already voted it through already and say we've left, trying to come back and argue about some of those finer points is going to be much more
11:43 pm
difficult when we are already out the door. turning to the times, sebastien, they've done a big old trunk on the front page, have they got any insight that we haven't already discussed? yellow they've gone heavily on the point the two leading candidates to replace theresa may came out very quickly to reject it. because, as you said, mrs may is out of the door already, everything to do with brexit is seen through the lens of what will help me win the conservative party leadership and what will help with conservative mps and conservatives in the country. the decision has been made but there is not necessarily concern about what's in the best interest of the country or brexit, but it's what will get you into downing street and boris johnson, he's seeing which way the wind is blowing, he backed the deal on the third vote after going against it on the first and second, he said it goes against our ma nifesto he said it goes against our manifesto and i will not vote for it and we can and must do better to
11:44 pm
deliver what people voted for. there we re deliver what people voted for. there were 3a mps who voted against this deal last time, it's gone up and up and up with over 50 now saying they're not going to back her this time so it looks like the pm is on course for even greater defeat than last time and you have to assume on that fourth attempt, that is it both for the deal and her. whatever comes next, what happens to brexit? parliamentary arithmetic is not changing. there's still no for anything in the house of commons. you could have mrjohnson or mr raab on whatever rainbow chasing unicorn promises they want but if the numbers aren't there in parliament then the only way out is another referendum or a general election. do they make and attempt to look at that in the times, those prospects, what happens next with the question of brexit wears blue they haven't done it on the front page but they will i'm sure in the immediate front
11:45 pm
the mood music this evening is that this isn't going to concede when it comes to parliament in a fortnight, whether or not this bill goes before mps before its second reading in the first place. logic would soon test given they pulled the first vote because they thought they would be defeated, and they wear when it finally came back, that they wouldn't put it to the vote and that's going to have interesting ramifications on the basis theresa may said she'll have that conversation about her timetable for leaving office after that vote, which might be something perhaps thatis which might be something perhaps that is percolating in the minds of the 1922 committee, which might prompt them to have that conversation a little sooner. the other thing is you quite rightly say is what happens next? if we can't either the withdrawal agreement bill, and it is defeated, that is the end of the road for this piece of legislation, that means we have
11:46 pm
to probe parliament and renegotiate the relationship with the dup, which of course they may or may not want to go back into a power—sharing relationship with the tories given their positions on brexit particularly under theresa may has been so diametrically opposed, and that creates many problems. so you end up with a final endgame, which i think barwell, theresa may's chief of staff, said to aids on friday is very much opening the door to options such as a second referendum ora options such as a second referendum or a general election, but with nigel farage's party doing very well at the moment in the polls and also the liberal democrats showing a new resurgence, the liberal democrats showing a new resurgence , you have the liberal democrats showing a new resurgence, you have to wonder how much of a palatable option that would be four mps who, at this particular moment, may actually think a second referendum would be the better of the options. sebastien, do you have a sense of how the european elections and results thereof will play into this timetabling of a potential vote in the first week ofjune?
11:47 pm
well actually, tonight i was that a brexit party's rhali, where they managed to get three people. it was eight tub thumping event. they said we need to get rid of theresa may as they were heckling herfrom we need to get rid of theresa may as they were heckling her from the crowd. nigel farage was saying just when you think theresa may could not get any worse she delivers this kind of thing. we know the brexit party are going to come first, they will sweep the board. that is a cataclysmic moment for the conservative party. it will, third, fourth, even fifth for a national election for the first time in its history, over 200 years. election for the first time in its history, over200 years. it election for the first time in its history, over 200 years. it will get a single figure election result if the polls are correct. at that point, the party really well go into meltdown, because at the moment there have been criticisms of theresa may, but they haven't managed to put the knife in a get her out of office. if it is clear she is destroying the party and its
11:48 pm
voters are defecting to the brexit party, that will prompt some action. whether we get this deal or not, when the results come through on monday from the european elections, that will start to shipping this whole thing on a lot. there will be ramifications for the labour party, too. a loss of their voters have gone through ——to the liberal democrats. and leave supporters are going to the brexit party. the action is in the conservative party. something is to break in this process , we something is to break in this process, we keep doing the same thing over and over again, it is basically the same deal that has gone before parliament three times, it will become four times, no—one is willing to accept a general election of seven —— second referendum. both conservative mps have completed what needs to change is the prime minister. they will still face great challenges, but it is impossible to see how the process gets anywhere while mrs may is still in downing street. carolyn, the daily mail, traditionally a paper that was a little bit positive towards theresa may. yes. and in particular her
11:49 pm
brexit deal. which has been interesting. there has been a change of leadership in the paper and it has gone pretty and he theresa may to much more supportive under their new editor. it is interesting to see the treatment of the story. they seem the treatment of the story. they seem to be saying that their own patients has now reached breaking point. and they have given her as my support as they can possibly give. now they feel she has taken the gamble to file. it feels like they are saying that notjust gamble to file. it feels like they are saying that not just about brexit and her policy, but towards their own support for her. it is the thin end of the wedge now. they are saying that there is real fury at her opening the door to the second referendum. the feeling that that is a big betrayal of their leadership, who really want to see brexit happening stop there seems to be putting in train a set of legislation which could potentially open the door to that not happening. that is interesting from its very treatment of the story itself. it does not tell us very much more than what we have heard from the other
11:50 pm
papers, absolute howling fury at the second referendum proposal. it is interesting that it is the second referendum rather than the customs union, that is a lot of what we have been writing about in the weeks running up to this. that is the issue we thought would propel some of the cabinet ministers out of the door. i think we will see a lot more to come. potentially, this could move quite quickly. we are hearing tonight that there are cabinet ministers who are really considering their position as we move forward. there were certainly a few cabinet ministers, including chris grayling, transport secretary, described as very grumpy during today's cabinet meeting. it is a question of whether we will see some of those voting with their feet and actually decide to walk out of this government. but there hasn't been very much we have seen there hasn't been very much we have seen from the cabinet itself yet. there have been a number of times where we have predicted there would bea where we have predicted there would be a coup under way, that they would leave, that they would stab her in the back, teller they have had enough, but it is the grassroots of the party and that 1922 emitted that
11:51 pm
has been instrumental by quick last thoughts. tories are good at talking about a big game of we will do this, we will have the so, we will defeat this, and they buckle in the end. the daily mail is theresa may's call voting constituency. when they have turned on for a second referendum have to think the game is up. there is the prospect that this big new deal may not even come to a vote. if it isa deal may not even come to a vote. if it is a sure defeat and the cabinet is fed up and has had enough, this may not even come before mps, which would be the ultimate humiliation for mrs may. thank you for those thoughts. 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. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this evening, sebastian and caroline. and from all of us, goodnight.
11:52 pm
good evening. here's your latest sports news. just over a week to go until the cricket world cup gets under way — and today england's 15 man squad has been confirmed. while there was heartbreak for both david willey and joe denly, the inclusion of barbados born jofra archer came as no surprise to many following his performances in the odis with pakistan. england are the favourites this year and test captainjoe root says they're embracing that position. it excites me. it is a bit of a compliment to the group. we worked extremely hard over four years to get into this position and we played some really good cricket along the way, especially in the last couple of years. and we feel like we are picking at the right time. it is about making sure we carry that forward , about making sure we carry that forward, we enjoy the fact that we
11:53 pm
are favourites in home conditions and we keep going about our cricket just as we have done. don't take a backward step, don't try to change much. just try to adapt to the conditions in front of us and continue to be positive and how we go about things. i think you have seen go about things. i think you have seen when he has played in domestic tournaments around the world such as the ipl and the big bash he has the ability to change games on his own. he has magic spells in him. he takes catches that other players might not necessarily be able to do. he has one games with the backed down the order as well. they are great qualities to have. he is a great addition to the squad. he has earned that through performing under pressure and high profile tournaments like that. and it is a great chance for him. what a stage to start your international career on. the azerbaijan football association has told the bbc they are disappointed that arsenal's henrikh mkhitaryan has decided not to play in the europa league final. it's understood the armenian midfielder feared for his safety on the pitch in baku due to political tensions between his country and the hosts
11:54 pm
azerbaijan, whose fa says the organisation has done everything it can to ensure his safety. really disappointed to see the statement from arsenal about their armenian player. because we have tried to do our best. and on behalf of the government as well as the local organising committee, we have given all the guarantees to the club as well. i think this was a personal decision of the player, together with his family. tributes have poured in today for the three time formula 1 champion nikki lauda who's died at the age of 70. he was one of the best—known figures in motor racing, winning the title for ferrari in 1975 and 77 and for mclaren in 1984. he'll be remembered for his remarkable recovery and return to racing just a0 days after a crash that nearly claimed his life. former world champion sirjacqui stewart says the austrian made a huge contribution to the sport.
11:55 pm
it was just a huge accident. i mean, it looked like a mechanicalfailure. he was trapped in the car. the car was on fire. it had been a high—speed accident at the same time. several drivers helped to get him out of the car. he was still badly burned, but i think what happens there with the inhalation of toxics as well as heat is the cause of him now no longer being with us. he died twice, i understand, as they understand it at the time, was around at the period, and he got jumpstarted twice. here he came through it all, came back to racing, probably with the most brave performance i have ever seen. did a good time, came back in, and i was there when he took his helmet off. he was bleeding badly and he must have been in considerable discomfort
11:56 pm
and pain. and yet he went back out again and, in fact, raised. and pain. and yet he went back out again and, infact, raised. few people would ever have done that. there are more tributes to niki lauda on the website. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. enjoy the rest of your evening. hello. in this predominantly fine weather with the gardens getting dry at the site of rain bouncing off the ground could be viewed by some with envy. that is what there was in edinburgh for envy. that is what there was in edinburghfora time envy. that is what there was in edinburgh for a time on tuesday as a thundery showers move through. most places and warmer compared with monday and it was dry. there will be plenty of dry weather around during the day ahead. not everywhere. the exception will be northern scotland and the northern isles, there is a weather system close by and there will be outbreaks of rain on and off through tuesday. that meant wednesday. a stronger and cooler northerly breeze. this area of cloud from north wales across southern most parts of northern england and
11:57 pm
the midlands. it may produce showers. most places are dry. in the sunshine it feels every bit as long as it did on tuesday. temperatures into the high teens. some spots into the low 20s. on three wednesday night and into thursday morning this strip of cloud probably has nothing associated with wet weather, but we are wet in scotland into orkney, though shetland is turning drier. temperatures where you ugly clear northern england into northern ireland, the southernmost part of scotland, they may end up close to freezing in the colder spots. thursday starts fine, dry with a good deal of sargen around for many. cloud across northern scotland, some outbreaks of rain in the far noth, north east into orkney. increasing cloud in northern england. variable clouds, sunshine, and you have that one. enter friday, more cloud around. the rain has eased in northern scotland. there may be showers around. it is pushing down
11:58 pm
into england and wales. there will be patchy rain spreading south earnings are related in the day as it moves further south. wet weather is possible. sunny spells where you get to see them there is want to be had. there are changes on the way in time for the bank holiday weekend. low pressure moving on from the atlantic. there will be more cloud around. it will be breezy. it will feel slightly cooler. there is a very minor downward trend in the temperatures. it is not a washout because there will be drier spells of sunshine at times. there is a chance of rain. some of us will get wet weather, but that chance of rain, at least across southern parts of the uk, remains low in terms of any substantial rain, that is.
11:59 pm
12:00 am
i'm kasia madera in london, the headlines: theresa may offers british mps a vote on whether to hold a second referendum, but only if they approve her brexit withdrawal bill. the government will therefore include in the withdrawal agreement bill, at introduction, a requirement to vote on whether to hold a second referendum, and this must take place before the withdrawal agreement can be ratified. president trump's officials brief congress on the threat from iran. they claim that iranian risks to american interests in the gulf have been put on hold. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. also in the programme: security is stepped up in indonesia and protesters take to the streets as official results show thatjoko widodo has been re—elected as president.
