hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are author and journalist rachel shabi and claire cohen, the women's editor at the telegraph. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the lead for the telegraph are remarks by president trump that he regards borisjohnson as a "friend" and is his preferred candidate for the conservative leadership. the metro reports the claims by the eu's chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, that the uk's vote

to leave was the product of "nostalgia" for a "powerful global britain". and it's the same lead in the daily express, with the paper asking, "will the eu ever get it?" the guardian, in what it says is an exclusive, reports that a labour peer claimed almost £50,000 in expenses last year despite never speaking in the lords. the daily mail's top story is that a record 138 gp surgeries shut last year, according to new figures on a medical website. the mirror also splashes with that story, saying that half a million patients are now being forced to try to find a new gp. a dramatic political comeback by the liberal democrats is the lead for the times. it reports that the party is on 24% in the latest yougov poll, ahead of all other parties. the paper also makes space

for ben stokes‘ sensational catch in the first game of the men's cricket world cup. and that's the picture lead, unusually, in the ft. england cricketers surround ben stokes after his jaw—dropping catch in the victory over south africa. so that is a flavour of what the front pages have to offer. let's dip into some of them. the telegraph. boris is a good guy. yes indeed, earlier today i to a clip of donald trump calling benjamin that yahoo a good guy as well. the israeli prime minister who has failed to form a coalition government and have triggered another election and israel ball of which is to say that trump feels like he can sprinkle these words like stardust over his mates and assume that it will play favourably. but in the case of boris, maybe not so much because of there is one thing that does unite

brexit divided britain, it is dislike for donald trump. in a poll last or, 77% of us expressed dislike for him amongst conservative voters, thatis for him amongst conservative voters, that is 66% was as maybe this is not a big blessing for boris after all. not the first time he is prickled these words over boris because after boris quick cabinet last summer, he broke a call and then said he would like a good prominence or in the future. so it has been building up to this for a year with his visit this week and in the leadership race under way, it takes on a certain poignant at this moment. various aspects of this piece because there is reference as you both described... to what he said about borisjohnson. nigel for described... to what he said about boris johnson. nigel for roger described... to what he said about borisjohnson. nigel for roger in the same bracket as far as donald trump is concerned and there is this suggestion that when donald trump is here next week, he might meet either oi’ here next week, he might meet either or both of them. we do not know yet.

we don't know yet and nigel faraj is quoted saying i have not pushed it which is not sound like him. there isa which is not sound like him. there is a suggestion that trump might try and encourage an alliance between the two. would he notjust love and encourage an alliance between the two. would he not just love that to be seen as a deal in britain. and he called his own election plus plus plus so there is an art between trump and his nativist and no nationalists policies. this sort of affiliation with what farage represents an increasingly what boris has become so there is no great surprise to see this sort of affiliation of the three, albeit it is incredibly distasteful, i think. to some, obviously. as i said, i think. very nicely. and also trump

mentions huawei and he will not leave us alone. some disagreement but some difficulty perhaps between him and the uk. it could be and i think with resume set to go next friday, he will be feeling like he is going to have more applicable which you can think a strong stand oi'i which you can think a strong stand on that an appeal to whoever is the next tour leader on it. what of mark harper, who is mentioned? what of him? he is the 12th tory mp to declare his candidacy in the leadership and no disrespect to him in particular, i don't mean to single him out from an array of equally uninteresting, unappealing, bland candidates who are vying for a tory leadership in some kind of rearranging the deck chairs of the titanic displacement activity. i know we are supposed to take this seriously but i really don't see why we should. i don't see what we

should for the public either, frankly. this party is clearly not capable of governing. i don't think thatis capable of governing. i don't think that is a particularly partisan appraisal of the situation. it might be seen is that by some. really? you think conservative that the conservatives are currently fit to govern? there are 12 conservatives who feel that way and we are told there could be 16 by the end of next week, which... will be delightful. we discussed ian duckett smith's, today about reforming the process to choose a leader and this seems ridiculous, 16. he wants a system changed. more people to nominate before you can stand and maybe some sort of system whereby you pair the numbers down more quickly. or some sort of cattle have any people can i’ui'i sort of cattle have any people can run while people are putting their name out there because it is a

profile raising exercise for a lot of them. trying to get a job later, possibly. mortality continues on the front of the times. quoting a new poll —— political volatility. this puts the lib dems on top if they we re puts the lib dems on top if they were an election tomorrow according toa were an election tomorrow according to a times survey. extraordinary when we had the mania after the impressive performance in tv debates we re impressive performance in tv debates were they are in first place. it is an impressive indication of how far tory and labour stock has fallen. not so long ago that the lib dems we re not so long ago that the lib dems were eight men in a room or at a table, really, and now they are flying high. we should probably give a health warning on this because i know they did incredibly well in europe and vince cable is now wilting more power than other theresa may is committed but you would have to look too far back to the 805 when the green party 5nuck aboard in the 89 european elections and then vani5h that a trace. so

doe5 and then vani5h that a trace. so does not mean that success tran5late5 does not mean that success translates to the ballot box thi5 poll is really extraordinary nonetheless. and it is an example of current political volatility from one—day to the next disc and very differently. i think that claire is right in the assessment and also to put that usual caveats, one poll, things are very volatile, this is in the aftermath, a very successful european election but it does to do something quite striking i think which is first of all that they have managed to detoxify their brand which i would find quite extra stringer given it was just eight yea rs stringer given it was just eight years ago that they room —— renting an auto premises and usher in the most appalling welfare cuts that have damaged and ravage the country ever since and that is not even to mention nick clegg's famous u—turn on the student fees. so i find it ha rd to on the student fees. so i find it hard to believe that they have revived their brand to that extent but i think it does that make the

thing about the european elections is people were warning the labour party for instance, they were saying you cannot just discount party for instance, they were saying you cannotjust discount labour voters switching to vote for other parties as a according to yougov, 40% of them dead in the european election, you cannot just 40% of them dead in the european election, you cannotjust say they arejust doing that election, you cannotjust say they are just doing that for the european election and will come back to the labour foe and a general election because once they have broken that habit... house but to suggest that. if you have been a die—hard supporter of any party in for whatever reason switch, then a percentage of the people will start to develop the habit of moving around and might say when they have gone. also those who vote labour 5lick gone. also those who vote labour slick and beat the tories and they might now be looking elsewhere as well. which is very dangerous for them. and points to the continuing division in the country, that it is 110w division in the country, that it is now a brexit based pole to a degree even though they're talking about the general election chemically other matters are considered as well. let's stay with brexit. we say

gleefully. because rachel, the front of the metro is looking at comments that michel barnier made the you chief breaks negotiator to it possible to thinkjean—claude juncker as a european commission president another is an argument about that. he is in remarking on why he thinks britain voted to leave. interesting and we only the front page here but this is an interview that he gave to the new york review of books in which he did say that the vote to leave was a product of nostalgia, and is not the first... even the first person, this is been debated and meaning columns and the washington post and new york times, but in fairness also mention another factor was that people felt abandoned over the quality of public services, the quality of the welfare state deteriorating, transport, etc,

and it is a bit misleading to present this as his only argument. the other argument, the sense of abandonment, is one that has some weight in terms of the referendum being a protest vote but actually delivered to the wrong address because that is not the cause of those underlying issues. will that make a difference to the current process anyway? i am not sure it will actually post them i know he is vying to perhaps take over as president but i do not think it will. i think people will see as more meddling at a time when we need to look inward5 little bit and sort out to look inward5 little bit and sort our own to look inward5 little bit and sort our own house before we go back to the negotiating table, if indeed that negotiating table is open for renegotiation. he also said that it i5 theresa may'5 deal or no deal. so i don't think they will. the other

thing about this went on but this outside is when anybody from outside of the uk comments on something that is essentially a uk issue out of this one has water in locations and just the uk, it is not welcome wherever it comes from necessarily. the people just have a bit of a but out of it, this is not your business response. the referendum campaign when barack 0bama and people did not like it when he commented. and people see this as a thing of the future, the not looking inward5 and backwards so will think certainly taking on the top line about nostalgia and he will think it is quite forward of them. surgeries human from the front of the guardian, take us there, gp warning as surgery closures hit record highs, not the only paper to focus on this as well. no, it is not. a 5tory on this as well. no, it is not. a story we are too familiar with now, patient5 la5t story we are too familiar with now, patient5 last year for the agp, 5urgerie5 closing and merging, we

know a lot of gp5 are leaving the profe55ion know a lot of gp5 are leaving the profession and a lot of them moving abroad. i think a third of gp5 actually leave the industry in the fir5t actually leave the industry in the first five years which is an incredible 5tati5tic. only this week that burn—out wa5 incredible 5tati5tic. only this week that burn—out was named as an official medical condition and there wa5 official medical condition and there was a huge problem with that in the service. and there are also a lot of retiring early and setting up private practises. so really across—the—board, and a lot of issues and they are affecting people oi'i issues and they are affecting people on the ground. surgeries are closing we are not able to get appointments andl we are not able to get appointments and i think there have been talk about initiatives to get more gp5 into practises but i think actually we need to look more closely at retaining them because it is are we are following that the moment. this it is time when only recently the government has put more money into health, so does that say it not enough money or not being spent wisely. what to be read into it in poorly financial terms here? all the

organisations that look at funding did say at the time of the injection it was nowhere near enough and was a drop in the ocean especially trying to counter the ravaging threats of those austerity cuts which hit into social care, which obviously puts more strain on the nhs. and with an ugly more strain on the nhs. and with an pulation. more strain on the nhs. and with an ugly population. the weather that we have —— an elderly population. we have —— an elderly population. we have a problem of pointing the area too much as opposed to it being a funding issue. we should yield our own demographics. i think claire is right in terms of the fallout rate. gps do 40% a couple of years ago talked about wanting to leave and they cited things like workloads and declining morale. which must be a huge issue when you are working inside health care. just that level of pressure with underfunding and short staffing and i think it is

also the case that a lot of our gps are from other countries in the eu and perhaps will be leaving or considering it. one thing, the story oi'i considering it. one thing, the story on the front many papers including the telegraph, one thing that caught my eye in that version was health bosses warning the bonton family doctors and the community is breaking down because of this. that is for affecting patients but also affects gp5 is willful so they don't have that rapport with local families and the same patients coming back time and again. i think that really contributes to it and also we know there has been lots of talk about skype consultations and private gp5 over your phone and i think that is going one way. that contributes to it. if patients have to wait longer or travel further, they can have an impact in many different ways. we have about 30 seconds left. just to admire the photograph on the front of the independent and you both to me you don't want to discuss the world cup in great detail... but we do like

this photo. you can admire the photograph. this is a driven photo and so is a one—off ben stokes on the front of the times in a spectacular catch. the independent asks as this is the first day of the tournament and could be a bit premature. thank you both very much for the time. that's it for the papers this hour. rachel and claire will be back at 11:30pm for another look at the papers, and 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. thank you, rachel and claire. goodbye. hello again. well, we've had a real mixture of weather across the country today,

quite a few of us have had cloudy skies but we have seen some sunshine in england, cornwall looked glorious earlier on this afternoon. it's not been like that everywhere though, you can see the extent of the cloud in the north and west of the country and these are weather fronts that have been bringing heavy rain and also a few fog patches working through the english channel. and underneath that rain bend in the north and west, things looked rather grey and dismal really around the scottish borders, during the course of the afternoon. and that rain will continue on and off across the northwest of the uk, through the rest of the night as well. further south, cloud re—develops, we'll see a few mist and fog patches around coast and hills, may be an odd spit of drizzle, but it will be mild and breezy 13 and 1a degrees widely, and a bit cooler than that again for northern scotland. now for the northwest of the uk, we have got more rain for friday and a wet start to the day in northern ireland with that rain pushing into the far north of england and scotland, where we could see a0 or 50 mm over the western hills in scotland. enough to cause some localised

surface water flooding issues and big puddles building up on the roads as the day goes by. now away from the weather front, we've got a quite a bit of dry weather, a few mist and fog patches to start off with, but the cloud should turn to thinner breaks, with some spells of sunshine coming through once again. it will feel quite breezy, quite humid outside. temperatures likely to peak again at around 23, maybe 2a celsius with the highest temperatures, where we do get the best of the brakes in the cloud across eastern england. for saturday, i think generally the weather is going to be a bit brighter but still some patchy rain around, weatherfrom pushes its way northwards through the day, best of the sunshine for england and wales and it's across eastern parts of england that will see the highest temperatures on saturday here becoming quite hot, with temperatures up to 27 celsius. saturday afternoon, never quite that warm across the northwest of the country, again, quite a bit of cloud the prospects at least for some slightly brighter weather. on into sunday, low pressure moves in and that's going to be pushing a court front and band of rain gear, eastwards across the country. as that happens, it will introduce

fresher air, but you get more sunshine in northern ireland through the afternoon, the cold front never really reaches eastern anglia and south east england until late in the day. so here, it could still be pretty warm as we head through sunday. that is your latest weather. bye for now.

this is bbc news. i'm julian worricker. the headlines at 11:00: a government—commissioned review into university funding says tuition fees in england should be cut to £7,500 a year with grants for poorer students reinstated. my my view is very clear. removing maintenance can at — mcgrath has not worked, and i believe it is time to bring them back. the cbi warns conservative leadership candidates that a no—deal brexit would cause "severe" damage to british business. and tonight, another candidate enters the race — mark harper is the 12th to declare he's running for the next conservative leader. a 6—year—old boy is airlifted to hospital
