across scotland and northern ireland, but across eastern england we will have the weather heating up with highs of up to 27 degrees. the second half of the weekend, we have an area of low pressure that's going to be pushing its way in. a cold front will be bringing fresher and cooler air. outbreaks of rain, then, for many of us sunday, at the front itself, this line of rain you can see here pushing eastwards, doesn't reach east anglia and east england until quite late in the day. so it is here we could see temperatures in the range of 2a to 26 degrees, depending on how quickly that front of zen. further west, depending on how quickly that front of zen. furtherwest, ifresherfeel to the weather. on into monday's forecast, low pressure will be in charge across scott and, brisk westerly wind bringing a number of showers across western parts —— across scotland. probably across eastern areas we will have the best of the day's sunshine, particularly in the morning, before a bit more cloud bubbles up, threatening a few showers in the afternoon. it will feel fresher nationwide, we're looking at temperatures for most us between 16 and 20 celsius. looking at the rest of the week, we've got quite a high amplitude pattern. that

is, thejet quite a high amplitude pattern. that is, the jet streams quite a high amplitude pattern. that is, thejet streams is quite a high amplitude pattern. that is, the jet streams is wiggling around all over the place. we find ourselves underneath this trough which will be slow—moving, that will encourage an area of low pressure to form. that will be slow—moving, that area of low pressure. so into next week, it is often going to be quite u nsettled. week, it is often going to be quite unsettled. some spells of rain around at times. it could be quite cloudy and quite windy at times, but it won't be a complete write off. there will be some sunshine breaking through at times but overall the flavour of the weather next week is that it will be quite unsettled. that's your forecast.

hello. this is bbc news with julian worricker. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. 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. 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 after falling from a roller—coaster at a theme park in north yorkshire. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what 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. welcome back to both of you. 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 it, "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 500,000 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's sensational catch

in the first game of the men's cricket world cup. and that's the picture lead — perhps unusually — in the ft. england cricketers surround ben stokes after his jaw—dropping catch in the victory over south africa. that step into some of those. claire, this is the telegraph. boris isa claire, this is the telegraph. boris is a good guy. i think the many other tory leadership candidates thought having a milkshake chucked at them was what they had to worry about it. it might be an opportunity next week. the president has just stopped short of formally endorsing boris, but he has called him a good quy boris, but he has called him a good guy and refer to him as a friend. our story calls it a notable breach of convention, but we should remember that he has already broken this protocol last summer when he quit the cabinet after they came out and said he would make a great future prime minister. perhaps it is

more poignant that it could be the next prime minister. that was alongside theresa may at a press conference. it was just after he departed the foreign office. conference. it was just after he departed the foreign officelj conference. it was just after he departed the foreign office. i don't think he and theresa may... it was a very awkward moment. he told her she was wrecking brexit. that goes to show that theresa may was not great at making friends with her peers on the world stage internationally, and clearly this points to the fact that borisjohnson has clearly this points to the fact that boris johnson has been, clearly this points to the fact that borisjohnson has been, so that is one up. is it? the daily telegraph never editorialise on its front page news stories has written this somewhat favourably in the saying that a meeting could help mrjohnson bosman leadership ambitions showing he can establish a rapport with the president, and the paper draws that contrast with theresa may. britain is united over its dislike for donald trump, 77% of us don't like

him according to the poll last year, second only to putin with 79% don't like. 66% of conservatives don't like. 66% of conservatives don't like trump either. i am not really sure that this is the magic dust that the telegraph seems to be suggesting for boris and his chances. it is actually quite amazing that he has managed to keep trump asa amazing that he has managed to keep trump as a friend for a year knowing how quickly donald trump likes to get rid of his friends when it suits him. there is also talk, senior us administration figures talked up a johnson barrage pack —— farage pact. likening to ronald reagan blue—collar conservatism that one the republicans i2 blue—collar conservatism that one the republicans 12 years in the white house. yes, it says mr trump may seek to act as a go—between to form an alliance, and wouldn't he like to be seen as the man who fixed british politics? it is fair to say

that farage has unleashed a phenomenon and the tories need to find a way to embrace it or him, but i'm not sure mr trump acting as a go—between is the way that will happen, even if they have a meeting behind closed doors. it shows you how much this native populist right is interconnected. trump did say that his election was his brexit plus plus plus, and is alliance between farage, trump, steve bannon who is a former adviser, and increasingly, boris is in that sort of populist nativist camp. it does show you how in connected globally that all is. there is a mention in this piece about mark harper entering the conservative leadership race. there was a hint from both of you, slightly dismissive of this development an hour ago. he is standing because he has seen all the

others and this contest needs a new face, youngerface, others and this contest needs a new face, younger face, a others and this contest needs a new face, youngerface, a different phase. maybe he has a point. face, youngerface, a different phase. maybe he has a pointlj face, youngerface, a different phase. maybe he has a point. i mean, i think he has a point when he says that the conservative party desperately needs a reboot and a revamp. the trouble is that the rebirth that it is looking for is not in the building. all we are seeing is an array of candidates with nothing to distinguish between them, really. at a point when honestly a leadership, change of leadership not going to change the fortunes of the party, they have mismanaged brexit, a new leader is not going to change that dynamic cannot change the popularity either. in terms of the public. is he a new face? he was sort of around. he might bea face? he was sort of around. he might be a slightly lesser known face, but perhaps not a new face. we

have people at james cleverly has only been in government since 2015 and has not had a cabinet role. he does tell the paper apparently he is "embarrassed that the failure to pass key legislation". it will be interesting, leaving your qualms aside in various places. how much will this election be about domestic policy? how much will get into that or how much will it be about brexit? we are already getting into tax cuts. there has been a lot of talk about that over the last couple of days, corporation tax and other taxes. that is what will appeal to the grassroots. again, that speaks to the massive disconnect between the tory party leadership and it's grassroots that it needs to speak to, and how disconnected that is from the rest of the population, which is much more to the left and

particularly on socio—economic issues where even conservative vote rs issues where even conservative voters favour left—wing policy. it just shows you, it speaks to how much trouble the party really is. we have just had local elections whether liberal democrats did very well, and people were voting on really specific local issues is what came out of that, none of which are being addressed by any of the potential leaders. before we get onto the liberal democrats in another context, let's move to the times. take us to the top of that page first. this is with reference to donald trump, but with particular reference to what is certainly a security risk posed to britain by huawei. this is an interesting selection from the times. donald trump will be doing that to somebody who will soon not be leader, and therefore not likely making this

decision. it is true that the us is putting pressure on the uk, the us has banned huawei from its federal network and has outlawed american companies from selling the tech and thatis companies from selling the tech and that is very much part of the escalating trade war with china, china has already retaliated, it is putting a legal challenge to those limits through the courts, it has a lawsuit against the us. so that is the context into which this pressure on the uk is going to come next week. and that trump blacklisting is starting to bite over here. momentum is building against it, google have cut off support as we know, and vodafone are not selling huawei handsets to their five—day customers. the pressure trump is putting on is now starting to spread over here ——5g. there is a downing

street review going on. genuinely ongoing. they are expecting donald trump to raise this. it is a question of what he does when they do. i found that phrase generally ongoing interesting. the prime minister does not believe her resignation should review —— effect reviews. she will palm the result to her successor. maybe they should say it is generally all going as a response to trump. that is a strange phrase. it is either ongoing or it is not. it leads to the disbelief. let's not dwell on that for too long. the other lead in the times, you refer to the liberal democrats in the local elections, but we are faced with an opinion poll fresh from the european elections which puts them top. the first time since 2010. we were swept, the nation was swept after they gave such an

impressive performance on those television debates. they sank without a trace in the years following that. now they are back. it is an extraordinary pole and an indication of how far tory and labour stock has fallen in the past months and years. they are in this position. i think we do need to approach this with a note of caution, because success in european elections does not always translate into success in general elections. you only have to look at the greens in the late 80s when they won 50% of the election and then sank without a trace. it is interesting and worrying for parties. the figures are worth outline. 2a liberal democrats, 22 brexit, 19 for both conservative and labour, eight for green. which means that the two parties that have dominated our 2—party parties that have dominated our 2— party system are parties that have dominated our 2—party system are no longer according to this pole, which i think is right to caveat. things are so think is right to caveat. things are so volatile and it isjust

think is right to caveat. things are so volatile and it is just after the european elections, and the reason the liberal democrats tanked is because they trashed their own reputation in the coalition government when they supported devastating welfare cuts and delay u—turn also on student tuition fees, so u—turn also on student tuition fees, so let's wait and see how much that brand is revived. but it does speak to talking to the labor party appraisal head of the european elections, there is a sense of people don't repeat their voting patterns, just because people vote for a different party in the european elections doesn't mean they will in the general, so that overlooked the idea of a gateway. once you have broken the habit, maybe a lifelong habit the eu might have had for voting for one party is easier to switch going into a general election. and if labour are going to keep urging anybody who comes forward and says they voted liberal democrats in the elections,

they could pass more support in that direction. they said they have to put — 5g 41% of the next membership. rachel, the guardian gp surgeries. this is a warning of closures hitting a record high. this comes from a medical website. yes, we have been hearing about the strain gps and surgeries have been underfor some time, strain gps and surgeries have been under for some time, this strain gps and surgeries have been underfor some time, this is strain gps and surgeries have been under for some time, this is a record number of surgeries, 138 practices closed in 2018. we know that doctors are increasingly reporting strain, burnout, loss of morale, because they are dealing in such stressful situations, understaffing, cuts that have really hit across our nhs, and also because of the effect it has had on social care, which has put extra pressure on things like surgeries. so yes, this is another devastating thing to read about, particularly when you think about the sort of — the

community effects, and that loss of connection between individual doctors and their patients, which must also be contributing to that lack of morale. and also connection with a local surgery, if people can get an appointment at all they are having to travel miles and miles to get it, they are not able to stay within their town or village. and we are focusing on the guardian's front page but you could have looked at several papers. it has been quite widely covered in the morning, hasn't it? it is a story that people can relate to, and even if your surgery can relate to, and even if your surgery isn't closed, the struggle to get an appointment for many people is real. three weeks on tuesday, that is no good if you need to see somebody now. and of course, we read endless stories about how skype appointments are going to be the next big thing, so that disconnect is going to become ever greater, i think. and we are talking about a service that has had more money put into it. but not enough money put into it. but not enough money according to all the people who work in the service, so i don't

think we can that the government get away with that. i do think this is a straightforward political decision. you either decide to fund the welfare state and the nhs or you don't, but one of the things you are talking about with having to make an appointment elsewhere, not at your local surgery, is that i have done that a few times and i am able to travel, but a lot of people won't be. that puts potentially some of the most vulnerable people, it is putting their access to healthcare at risk. two especially with the cuts to local bus services we are hearing about, as well. it paints a very solemn picture, doesn't it? staying with you, and the express, barnier blames brexit on british nostalgia. this is an interview which barnier gave to the new york review of books. he didn'tjust

blame brexit on nostalgia, he blamed it on austerity, various other things, so it is a bit of a kind of glib topline. and a lot of people's eyebrows will hit the roof over this. many people have said the people who voted to leave the eu see it as people who voted to leave the eu see itasa people who voted to leave the eu see it as a progressive thing, as britain looking to its future, not looking inwards and looking back and considering itself to be very small and dwelling on empire and nostalgia, so it is a bit of an unwelcome intervention, really.|j wonder why he said it now stop he gave a very wide—ranging interview. he has been so careful throughout this whole process as to what he says about britain, whatever he might privately think about it. says about britain, whatever he might privately think about itm is actually because the negotiations are closed, they have just suspended the negotiation team, which would seem the negotiation team, which would seem to indicate the case really is closed. i wondered if that was the reason he was saying it.|j

closed. i wondered if that was the reason he was saying it. i think it would be unfair to dismiss that appraisal of the empire nostalgia element of brexit. it does seem to be very much a make britain great again project, and the again would suggest a desire to return to former glory, perhaps when britain was a greater power than it is today. so i don't think that is an unfair appraisal. i think you are right that that isn't the only thing he said, and it is unfair of the express to distort the story in that way. he did also say in the interview, as we just touched on, that negotiations are closed, and it is theresa may's deal and there are no other options on the table. he might have wanted to reiterate that and perhaps this was a slightly throwaway comment, slightly less important in his mind. there is a suggestion, of course, he wants juncker‘sjob. suggestion, of course, he wants juncker's job. potentially. it is a very long interview. all publicity

is good publicity, right? are you indicating we should all read it? is good publicity, right? are you indicating we should all read it7m you are short of reading material this evening. good, something to do on the way home. the daily star, basil, it is not my fawlty. this is over commentsjohn basil, it is not my fawlty. this is over comments john klisz has basil, it is not my fawlty. this is over commentsjohn klisz has made about london. yes, he is trying to say that he has justifiably and understandably been called a racist over comments he made about london —— cleese. he said it didn't feel english, which clearly seems to be tying a concept of englishness to race, which first of all is racist and second of all is not true.|j race, which first of all is racist and second of all is not true. i am no racist, he says, i should point out. he said he was a culturalist,

which sounds like a euphemism for racist. it has never been true of england, we have always been a migrant nation and london has always been a migrant city and is all the better for it. it is multicultural and that is a good thing, so obviously people have reacted badly to what he said. a quick final thought? the twitter backlash has continued despite him trying to defend himself as being a culturalist. 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. thank you, rachel and claire. goodbye. good evening. here is your latest sports news. england have made a victorious start to the men's cricket world cup,

beating south africa by 104 runs at the oval. as hosts, and the top—ranked side in the world, england are the firm favourites, and responded with an emphatic victory. here is our reporterjane dougall. a sellout crowd at the oval watched as england convincingly beat south africa by 104 runs on the opening day of the cricket world cup. but there were some english hearts in mouths during the first over, as jonny bairstow went for a golden duck with only the second all of the world cup. england did recover, however, with scores of 50 or more forjoe root and the captain, eoin morgan. but it was ben stokes who was the star player of the day, top scoring with 89, and helping england to 311-8. scoring with 89, and helping england to 311—8. stokes also had a phenomenal catch, getting an opponent out with a phenomenal 1—handed catch off the bowling of

adil rashid. pundits are already saying it is the catch of the tournament even though this is only day one of a six—week tournament. but when south africa came into bat, they lost the first two wickets pretty cheaply, including the captain, du plessis, going forjust five, both of those wickets taken by archer, who has impressed today. a fascinating day at the oval with prince harry officially opening proceedings with a rousing speech saying that due to the diversity of england and wales, that everyone of the ten nations competing would feel that they were in front of home crowd. liverpool defender virgil van dijk has told the bbc he would give up his individual awards to win the champions league final against tottenham on saturday. van dijk was named pfa men's player of the year last month, but he says european football's biggest competition is the prize he really wants to get his hands on.

look, football is a team game. and at the end of the day, if you can swap all of these player of the year personal trophies for the champions league, i would do it in no time. but hopefully i won't — i won't have to. hopefully we're going to do it. dina asher—smith has put down another notable marker to her global sprint rivals by winning the 200 metres at the stockholm diamond league in a world—leading time. up against an elite field that included olympic and world champions, asher—smith surged clear to win by almost half a second, in 22.18 seconds, the quickest time of the year so far. i was really happy, because obviously i wanted to come here and when, andi obviously i wanted to come here and when, and i wanted to run a good—quality race. i am hitting all my technical points, but i didn't anticipate to run that time, i didn't anticipate for it to all go

as well. so i am really, really happy with that. while it feels nice, i still have to go home and work because there's some incredibly talented female sprinters in the world right now. another british winner in stockholm was laura muir. the reigning european champion outclassed the field to comfortably win the 1,500 metres in a time of four mins, 5.37 seconds. kyle edmund is out of the french open, after being forced to retire with a knee injury when two sets down in his second—round match. the british number one was trailing uruguay‘s pablo cuevas at roland—garros, and at 2—1 down in the third, he called on the trainer before eventually deciding he couldn't carry on. it means johanna konta is the only british player left in the singles in paris. the women's world number one, naomi osaka, overcame a poor start to beat two—time grand slam champion victoria azarenka 4-6, 7-5, 6-3. osaka is chasing her third successive grand slam title, having won the 2018 us open and the australian open

earlier this year. she will play the czech republic's katerina siniakova in the next round. that's all the sport for now. goodnight. and a quick look at the weather. there is some pretty warm weather heading our way, actually. temperatures will reach the high 20s by the time we get to saturday, but not everybody is going to get the warmth. but this is certainly going to be the headline, i think, for the next few days. ok, let's get the forecast, then, for the here and now. and clouds are streaming in off the atlantic. they have done so far for quite awhile now, bringing a lot of poor conditions to many north—western areas, mist, drizzle, coastal fog and places as well. outbreaks of rain coming and going. not widespread, because they are sort of quite patchy outbreaks of rain, but some of them will be heavy. very mild, these are

south—westerly winds, so temperature is about 14 degrees first thing in the morning on friday. now, here in the morning on friday. now, here in the south—west, these mild ones bringing that rental to northern ireland in western scotland. in fa ct, ireland in western scotland. in fact, when all is said and done, once the rain finally clears away, we could be talking about two inches of rain, about 50 millimetres in one or two spots. in the south there will be some bright weather around, probably not clear blue skies, there will be some clouds around, but it will be some clouds around, but it will be some clouds around, but it will be quite a warm day. temperatures getting into the low 20s quite widely across england, scotla nd 20s quite widely across england, scotland is fresher as is northern ireland, 18 degrees. when i say fresh, it is quite muggy out there, temperatures lower in the north. on saturday, you can see if you squint, it is quite a powerful one over us. some outbreaks of rain coming in our direction on saturday. especially some of these western and

north—western areas you can see some rain going from the isle of man into the lake district. to the south we have warm, south south—westerly ‘s, temperatures could peak around 28 degrees in one or two spots, so a hot saturday on the way, not as hot in the north. on sunday it all changes, so this heat that is heading our way is a sort of one—day wonderfor most of heading our way is a sort of one—day wonder for most of us, that is. this system brings showers, and it will start to make things a lot cooler across western areas. that heat will be pushed towards east anglia by the time we get to sunday. at the moment, the indications are that once that low pressure gets going on sunday it is really much here to stay. so as we enterjune, traditionally very much a summer month, it looks like things are going to be turning cooler and quite a bit more unsettled. that's it for me, goodbye.

this is news day on the bbc. i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines: donald trump lashes out at robert mueller a day after the former special counsel refused to clear the president of obstructing justice. the whole thing is a scam, it is a giant presidential harassment. russia did not help me get elected. you know who got me elect? i got me elected. russia did not help me at all. another front in the trade war — china will impose tariffs on $60 billion worth of american goods in just a few hours. i'm lewis vaughanjones in london.
