south-east of degrees in the south—east of england, warm in the sunshine as we head towards the bank holiday weekend, however, this will be spilling in, all this cloud from the atlantic. as a result we will find temperatures dropping as well. has been kept bay at the moment. is whether fronts are still out in the atlantic. that area of low pressure is taking most of the rain away from northern scotland as we have seen over the past few days although we will see wet weather returning to highland. a lot of cloud getting drawn down. as we see more cloud arriving into england and wales there is a chance of one or two showers as well. most players are still dry. —— most places. further north, temperatures a shade lower than we had on thursday. into the bank holiday weekend there will be some sunshine at times but there will also be rain. mostly crossed north and west of the uk and for all of us by monday i think it will probably be feeling a little cooler. we start with some early showers on

saturday across southern parts of england and wales and some sunny spells. cloudy across northern ireland, rain and drizzle setting and across more widely across scotla nd and across more widely across scotland and arriving into northern england in the afternoon. that will depress temperatures here. further south, more sunshine, 20— 22 degrees. that when the front bringing the rain and drizzle as we had through saturday. overnight into sunday that low pressure arrives pushing the second weather front away as well. more extensive rain for scotland and this could be heavy as well, clearing up in northern ireland and is showery rain pushing down towards the south—east, perhaps arriving in the afternoon so a little quicker than we thought earlier on. averages may reach 20, 21 also and we should see improvements for northern england in southern scotland. it stays quite wet in northern scotland. that weather front will move away and we are drawing down cooler air and north—west deliveries. across the northern half of the uk still chance of some showers but longer spells of

rainfor of some showers but longer spells of rain for western scotland and northern ireland, further south across england and wales better chance of staying dry with sunshine as well but temperatures will be lower by this stage. 18 is the top in the south—east monday, 13 or 1a degrees, only 10 degrees in northern scotla nd degrees, only 10 degrees in northern scotland so chilly air here on monday. we have this area of low pressure really in the flow bringing showers and longer spells of rain across the north and that will push its way southwards on tuesday. wet weather starts to move further into england and wales and at the same time it turns dry across northern ireland, dreyer and scotland as well. it will be chilly here i suspect on tuesday and those of the maximum temperatures. nine degrees in northern parts of mainland scotland. 16 in the south of england. we are seeing the chilly air probably on wednesday. jetstream here is pushing its way northwards. strongerfor a while but here is pushing its way northwards. stronger for a while but then here is pushing its way northwards. strongerfor a while but then it sta rts strongerfor a while but then it starts to weaken. we draw up higher
11:33 pm
pressure from the south. it will be intermixed with this chaotic picture of highs and lows and you'll find warm air starts to push its way northwards as well as we get more of a south—westerly breeze. essentially, for northern parts of the uk later this week hang onto the chance of showers or rain eventually it will warm up but further south across the uk this is where we will see the temperatures climbing most of all and it should be largely dry with maybe some sunshine at times.
11:34 pm
gimme this is bbc news. i'm rebecca jones. the headlines at 11:00: theresa may now under pressure to name the precise date under growing pressure — the government delays publication of theresa may's revised brexit plans amid a backlash in her own cabinet. a former youth football coach, bob higgins, is found guilty of indecently assaulting numerous boys, over more than 20 years. indian prime minister narendra modi secures another 5—year term after winning a landslide general
11:35 pm
election victory. the authorjudith carr who delighted millions of children with her best seller the tiger who came to tea has died at the age of 95. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are editor of politico's london playbook, jack blanchard, and the columnist for the evening standard and former labour adviser, ayesha hazarika. let's have a look at tomorrow's front pages — with most of them leading on the future of theresa may. the financial times says the prime minister will set out her departure date when she meets the chair of the 1922 committee of conservative backbenchers, sir graham brady tomorrow morning. conservative mps have urged
11:36 pm
theresa may's husband philip to just tell her it's time to leave downing street. that's according to the metro. a conservative leadership contest will kick off following the state visit of president trump, that's the lead in the times. the daily mail says a new prime minister will occupy number ten by the summer. the guardian says centrist cabinet ministers think the next conservative leader will promise a hard brexit. the telegraph reports the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt is the latest cabinet minister to withdraw his support for the prime minister's brexit deal. and the i says the home secretary sajid javid has also lost confidence in theresa may's brexit vision. really only one story in town. we'd better start with that. let's start with the daily mirror. they seem pretty certain about this. most of the newspapers are carrying i their
11:37 pm
the newspapers are carrying on their front pages - expectation that front pages and expectation that tomorrow, theresa may will get the podium out in front of downing street, she has become famed for that set piece and will say, look, i'm going to go very soon, here is the timetable. what's interesting about the mirror story is that they've got in there some headline that she will tell the country that she's had enough and that she wants to do it to avoid the humiliation of being kicked out by her party and i think that's quite an interesting ta ke think that's quite an interesting take because seeing quite a lot of defiance from the prime minister but these kind of words are interesting. she seen as somebody who's got quite a high threshold for humiliation but the one thing i would say is i'm sure this is right. the only word of caution i'd say is we've been here quite a few times before. she definitely says she is going. then she is a wee bit vague in terms of actually when she is going to go. do
11:38 pm
you think we will get that clarity? asa you think we will get that clarity? as a politicaljournalist, we been trying to play that. she doesn't give very much away. she has a very, very close— knit set give very much away. she has a very, very close—knit set of advisors and we hear that some of them, she doesn't confide in very much these days either so in the end, everyone is always getting a little bit with this prime minister but if i was a betting man, ithink this prime minister but if i was a betting man, i think we definitely would get a date tomorrow because she really has run out of road. bringing forward this withdrawal agreement bill was, in her own words, her last attempt at getting this deal through and we already know it's failed. there is nobody supporting it and she is put off a lot of people who voted for her last time by trying to compromise with labour but she hasn't won those labour but she hasn't won those labour votes either. it's over and
11:39 pm
she's going. it's interesting, next tuesday or wednesday will be the day where she officially passes gordon brown's tenure in downing street. at least we can try and get past that. it does show you how completely shallow these things are. if that is your goal, ijust got shallow these things are. if that is your goal, i just got to shallow these things are. if that is your goal, ijust got to be the last person who is here. the history books willjudge gordon brown far more kindly. theresa may doesn't think that. you agree that she is going. the question is exactly when there will be a new prime minister because let's be honest, she steps aside and she doesn't necessarily stop being the prime minister, does
11:40 pm
she? the daily mail says, you will have a new prime minister by the summer, she says. they also point to a poll that borisjohnson is 25 points ahead of his nearest rival. it's interesting how the daily mail have been on a journey with theresa may. the iron lady at an earlier stage in the brexit negotiations, she is the woman who can do the job now, you've got to get out. they've changed their tune a lot. the timetable will be interesting. sometimes when political leaders say they are going to go, they end up carrying on and now the kind of holding place but the leadership contest carries on, david cameron did that for a bit, michael howard famously did that when david cameron came in. the question is, will she wa nts to came in. the question is, will she wants to go quickly and maybe david leading ten steps in as a caretaker oi’ leading ten steps in as a caretaker or will they think it's appropriate for her tojust or will they think it's appropriate for her to just stay in place while they have a contest. question is,
11:41 pm
how short or long with a contest run? when we had our dp expect defeat in the labour party, we had a contest time and went on until a party conference in the autumn. i think there will be pressure because of that exit deadline which is the end of october, there will be a lot of pressure to get a new leader in time before that. and there will be a parliamentary recess over the summer. a parliamentary recess over the summer. if you talk to some of these people working on leadership campaigns which have been up and running for weeks and months in westminster, quietly, they want to get in as quickly as possible because if you are waiting to anoint the new prime minister, the tory party conference which doesn't initial until the first days of october, the prime minister comes in and a few weeks later, britain is meant to be leaving the eu. it is not a great position for any prime minister to be coming in it. will be a lot of pressure to come quickly. she will definitely stay on as prime
11:42 pm
minister until we have a new one. she will see that as a duty, not wanting to be walking out so to speak. the timetable is likely to be that she. down as tory party leader early next month but stay on as prime minister the next five or six weeks while they fight it out amongst themselves as to who takes over. who were the key? let's look at the times. similar headline. interesting, visit from foreign secretaryjeremy interesting, visit from foreign secretary jeremy hunt was interesting, visit from foreign secretaryjeremy hunt was going to presumably be one of the many contenders for the leadership. sealed fate. how does that work? this has been heavily briefed out from people close to the foreign secretary, saying he went to her, you can put this withdrawal agreement back to people who have no support in the whole thing was kind of pulls after that. i think he is trying to signal that he's had a
11:43 pm
guiding hand, that he is obviously pivoting towards being much more the brexit here. that will be the fault line for this tory party leadership. it's not necessarily going to be who's got the big bold vision for britain. it's basically where you stand on brexit and how hard you like your brexit? that's going to be the big fault line. borisjohnson is absolutely the front—runner. that's what the mail has been saying in the grassroots is wanting. i think one of the big things it's interesting, what do the moderates to in the conservative party? what do you do if you are more of a one nation person. if you support remain or you wa nt to person. if you support remain or you want to be a bit more of a cameroonian style conservative. on the other hand, the grassroots, somebody much harder to the right, much more of the brexit here in the big question for whoever takes over,
11:44 pm
will they be able to get nigel forage to back them? —— farage. if he gets his party up and running and they could see a lot of support haemorrhaging from the conservative party to the brexit party. a lot of people are thinking about that. agreed? what actually helps boris, according to a times poll, the overwhelming favourite among the tory members. they did a poll of tory members. they did a poll of tory members. they did a poll of tory members last week and he is head and shoulders above all the rivals. we did a separate poland similarly, he the one candidate who actually brought more support to the party than what they got in 2017. labour listed a poll and they said
11:45 pm
they thought boris was the only person who could bejeremy corbyn. that's absolutely right. the huge caveat is that mps get to decide whether to people who go forward for all these members to vote on. you have to have support among the mps or enough of them that you don't even get onto the ballot paper. that is the problem boris had. michael gove famously stabbed him in the back. the big battle the boris is not winning over people in the country or the members, not winning over people in the country orthe members, its not winning over people in the country or the members, its finding that it's actually the number is 105 mps. if union get that many onboard, i think it is likely he will be the next prime minister. it feels like resista nce next prime minister. it feels like resistance to him is softening. many conservative mps think they don't wa nt to conservative mps think they don't want to defy the membership. they may risk their own seats further down the track but i think they sort of feel like there is momentum
11:46 pm
behind boris now and it's interesting to see people like gavin williamson saying they want to run his campaign. there has been a huge machine operation in westminster, dinners, backroom charts. he is willing mps. the guardian picking up on what we've been talking about. tory leadership race heats up as may names exit date. borisjohnson is the front—runner but who is likely to be the other name on the ballot paper? the main other brexit candidate is dominic raab, much less well— known. candidate is dominic raab, much less well-known. he was the brexit secretary for a while. won't we all? you were fabulous! dominic did it for a few months and resigned in process. trying to outflank rs on the right point he is offering enormous income tax cuts is a big totemic policy to try and woo the grassroots and seeing it as a harder
11:47 pm
brexit. his team think that is what is going to appeal to those tory members but what's interesting about thatis members but what's interesting about that is that that is worrying a lot of the moderate tory mps whereas there was once a sort of anyone but boris campaign going on in parliament and this still is to some extent. they looking at dominic raab doing quite well. maybe boris, who actually was mayor of london for eight years and we know isn't really that much of a big fan of brexit, is actually quite pro— immigration. maybe he would be a more one nation leader. there is a group called the one nation group the boris that he was going to be in support of. amber ruddis was going to be in support of. amber rudd is sending out signals that she could support boris johnson. rudd is sending out signals that she could support borisjohnson. but what this means for the bigger picture in politics is when you come to the next general election, bridge
11:48 pm
politics will become even more polarised than it is now. you will have a left—wing labour party under jeremy corbyn and a conservative party that goes much further to the right. and americanisation of dish politics which i don't know is that healthy for our democracy. that leads us to donald trump osman visit to the uk. —— donald trump's visit to the uk. —— donald trump's visit to the uk. he could be in a position where he is welcome by theresa may who is basically not prime minister but is there as prime minister. amazing, isn't it? he has been excited about this state visit ever since she went over and offered it to him within three days of being elected president. and by the time he gets to do it she is out the door. whether she is still prime minister then or not we will have to wait and see. this is weird, for this man leading the biggest and most powerful country in the world to come over for a special visit to meet the prime minister who will not be in power three weeks later but that seems to be where we are at at
11:49 pm
the moment. and he is so excited, let's be honest. he is very, very excited about meeting the queen and he is bringing members of his family did look at this picture. it is like madame to sod meets the addams family. —— and he is bringing his daughter because every day is bring your daughter to work day in the white house. that he will not have a carriage procession down the mall that he really wanted for security reasons. i think they would try and choreograph the visit carefully because there will be tons of people protesting in the streets, myself included. he will not stay at buckingham palace which is undergoing refurbishment. what a wonderful coincidence. she is a genius, the queen. pivoting back, i think the one thing that will be
11:50 pm
fascinating to see is who will he anoint in terms of the next prime minister. that your bottom dollar it will be boris johnson. minister. that your bottom dollar it will be borisjohnson. now where? sport. at page. this is interesting. a quote from the former manager of arsenal. he hits out at against the fa ct arsenal. he hits out at against the fact that arsenal are playing in azerbaijan, one of their players cannot travel there. azerbaijan, one of their players cannot travelthere. he is azerbaijan, one of their players cannot travel there. he is an armenian footballer and a hero in his small country. a key player for arsenal and such is the conflict between azerbaijan and armenia, and ongoing diplomatic dispute, that it is felt arsenal cannot guarantee his personal safety and so they had to leave him behind for this important match. and that is a scandal in its own rightjust
11:51 pm
match. and that is a scandal in its own right just so match. and that is a scandal in its own rightjust so badly on match. and that is a scandal in its own right just so badly on the authorities, the european football body in this case who chosen their wisdom, and we still don't know why, to rather than have the europa league final in europe as you would expect it, they are having it in azerbaijan where no fans can reach, where they will play in a half empty stadium and where it is so unsafe that one of the star players cannot play. it is odd. worse than odd. it is scandalous that a sport so important to so many people, people live list of yet they cannot go watch the biggest game of the season that their team is in because of a decision made somewhere else about having it in a far—off land. decision made somewhere else about having it in a far-off land. and they could be playing in front of a half empty stadium as it stands. let's finish on the front page of the guardian. and judith kerr. we cannot go without mentioning her, the author of the tiger who came to tea. as well as the mogg books. she
11:52 pm
has passed away at the age of 95 which is a sad day but she leaves behind these wonderful, wonderful books that she wrote and illustrated. and incredible literally —— literary legacy that has bought joy to literally —— literary legacy that has boughtjoy to children and their families. i went to see an exhibition in camden and it was wonderful and the kids were spellbound. her life story is incredible. it reads like a film script. she fled the nazis and she came to this country and became a successful writer but we were just talking about it, i visited the anne frank museum a few weeks ago and her story could have been so different. she was lucky to escape and we're lucky she came to this and it shows the brilliant contribution made by refugees. she was incredibly humble and she said that she never thought of herself as doing a great writer that she was sitting she told vivid and beautifully observed stories.
11:53 pm
she was beautiful and merry and that isa she was beautiful and merry and that is a beautiful way to be remembered. that is it for the papers tonight. thank you to you both great to have you with us. 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. hello — this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme: a difficult week for formula 1 after nikki loudon passed away at the age of 70. many teams at the monaco grand prix have been paying tribute to the former triple world champion.
