the 10 cox foundation. it's time for a look at the weather with phil avery. hello once again. the weather headlines may well be made by the fact we've just experienced the warmest day of the year thus far with over 28 degrees in norfolk. but elsewhere, there was quite a bit of cloud around and they may not have completed the play there at clifton in north yorkshire and that was because this trailing portion of a weather front has gradually worked its way from west to east across many parts of the country over the past few hours. we are not quite done with itjust yet because the parent low will sit close by to the western side of scotland during the course of the wee small hours and the thicker cloud that will keep those showers coming for northern and western part of scotland and northern ireland too overnight. a night that will be considerably fresher across southern parts than was the case last night. some of the temperatures didn't get below the mid—teens — tonight, ten to 12 will be the minimum. that front continues its journey off to the near continent and then it's
10:31 pm
the low pressure that dominates. quite a number of isobars on that chart you will notice, so the wind will be a factor, especially across the northern part of the british isles. monday, not a bad day. away from that low centre you will see that there is a steady supply of showers there again, the northern and western parts of scotland getting through the central belt and down into northern ireland too. but elsewhere across the greater part of england and wales, it will be a pretty decent sort of day. quite a breezy one and on top of these mean speeds you have to add in the gusts, some of which will come close to that centre, give us gusts of around a0 to 50 miles an hour or so. the temperatures, no more of the 28, nearly 29 degrees across east anglia and the south—east. maximum on the day will be around 20 or 21. here we are for tuesday with another set of weather fronts drifting their way from south and north across the british isles. if you are looking for rain across eastern parts, it may well be the second half of the week. if this comes true, waving portion of a front mayjust drag sufficient cloud into the eastern side of britain to give some significant rain at last, at last.
10:32 pm
but you get a sense from looking at the capitals, that the forthcoming week will be a fairly unsettled affair with a temperature, for the most part, locked rigidly there for many parts in the teens. so the forthcoming week, with low pressure dominating looks to be unsettled. there will be some sunshine at times, but also some welcome rain for some and overall, it will be a wee bit cooler.
10:33 pm
hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment, but first the headlines. three—quarters of a million liverpool fans paint the town red, as they welcome home the champions of europe — for a sixth time. it's just unreal. you have got to be here to feel it and experience it to know what it really means to us. what he has achieved is absolutely brilliant. just unbelievable. president trump will shortly head to britain for a state visit, after making controversial comments about the conservative party leadership and brexit. thousands of protestors are expected to demonstrate against his visit. four british climbers rescued from india's second highest mountain — but another four are still missing. a cruise ship lost control as it was docking in venice, crashing into the wharf and hitting
10:34 pm
a tourist boat. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rachel cunliffe, comment and feature editor from city am and rob merrick, deputy political editor from the independent. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. let's start with the telegraph, and it reports that conservative leadership candidates are rowing back on a potential huawei sg tie—up, in order to avoid a clash with president trump during his visit to the uk. the same story makes the front page of the daily mail. it says both sajid javid and jeremy hunt have signalled a potential government climbdown on huawei, on the eve of donald trump's visit. the guardian says there's anger over comments by the us ambassador to the uk, suggesting the future
10:35 pm
of the nhs should be "on the table" in any trade talks between the two countries. scientists are urging theresa may to challenge the us leader on his approach to climate change. that's on the front page of the i. president trump has denied calling the duchess of sussex "nasty" — despite his comments being recorded. that's in the metro. and the financial times leads on the trade tensions between the us and china, with beijing increasing tariffs on american goods and launching a probe into the us delivery group, fedex. most of the front pages are dominated by the imminent arrival of president trump in the uk — let's see what our reviewers make of it all. the front of the telegraph, this is the huawei story. it is not the tories in general, it is a couple of tories in general, it is a couple of tories specifically, coincidentally some of those who are planning to be
10:36 pm
running for the leadership. not that that narrows it down! no, because they all are at the moment, jeremy hunt, foreign secretary, and later sajid javid. this is the issue that america doesn't want any of its allies using chinese technology or huawei technology in its infrastructure, and have said they will stop us intelligence sharing with nations that do that. theresa may, that leaked cabinet revelation we had a while ago, once huawei to be able to build the non—core parts of the five g network, we are not quite sure what that will consist of just yet, but this is getting the play four drops approval, and if you think if it is not anything to do with the fact that the american president has just endorsed a boris johnson, that the american president has just endorsed a borisjohnson, it is clearly partly about that. they are playing for his endorsement, and one of the things he said in that
10:37 pm
interview was, they all want my endorsement, i could tip the race if i chose somebody. the uk is to an extent out of step with countries like new zealand and australia on this as well as the us, potentially? it is if it goes ahead with the decision leaked a couple of months ago, but that was only a discussion oi'i ago, but that was only a discussion on the natural security council, it hasn't yet been endorsed. it is not surprising thatjeremy hasn't yet been endorsed. it is not surprising that jeremy and sajid javid are running away from it now, because we remember when the decision was leaked, there were five cabinet members that were named as being opposed to it, and they were jeremy hunt and sajid javid, so they are consistent in being opposed to it. yes, it might be convenient for them right now, but i suspect that their position is consistent on that. we were promised a final decision in the spring, and we are a couple of weeks from midsummer, so clearly that decision is now not going to be taken under theresa
10:38 pm
may's leadership, it will fall to her successor, and i think it might be decision to run from this company. it does seem to be the decision that is coming. and i'm torn on this because for all i think trump is engaging in a trade war with china, there are serious concerns when it comes to huawei, which the telegraph alluded to here, saying that huawei is obliged to co—operate with the chinese government if it wants information, and there are a lot of people high up and there are a lot of people high up in the chinese government, so while they are saying it is not influenced by the chinese communist party, but clearly that isn't the case. so there are serious concerns, but i think the timing of this, just when trump is coming, is quite interesting, and the fact that it is jeremy hunt, he was the only contender other than boris johnson it was mentioned positively, trump was asked about him after gushing what a great guy borisjohnson was, he was asked about hunt and said, yes, like him, so that was his
10:39 pm
second rate endorsement. it is still an endorsement. but it is an extraordinary idea that donald trump's endorsement would somehow be of benefit to a uk politician! eight might not be. take us to the front of the i, because this is still relating to donald trump, it is on climate change and what they are being urged to say. this is another of the many issues that the us and uk disagree on these days, this is the middle east, and trump's attempts to destroy the chance of a peace process, you think of iran and the sabre rattling going on to potentially start a war, it certainly there are members of his team want to do that, and now there is climate change. when trump pulled out of the paris agreement, took to rev for theresa may to eventually make a half— hearted rev for theresa may to eventually make a half—hearted criticism of him for doing so, she really didn't want to do it, she eventually did. i would be astonished if she did confront him over climate change, and what purpose would it serve if she did? he is clearly not going to
10:40 pm
listen to her on anything. it strikes me on the front of the i, the last paragraph raises the special relationship, so here we are, already going through this that we have about the special relationship, and it points out, as trump backs eight no—deal brexit, so as trump does exactly what theresa may doesn't want to do and pull back from doing it, she is talking this rubbish about the special relationship. this is speculative, but you think there is any possibility that because she knows she is now leaving number 10 very soon, and clearly she does disagree with the president about climate change, that she might not privately think, right, i'll tell him? bold, reckless action is not something i really associate with theresa may, but maybe she will. ijust don't think it will have any impact at all. trump is not particularly excited about meeting the prime minister, he is very excited about the royal part of his visit. he is excited about the possibility of meeting borisjohnson. excited about the possibility of meeting boris johnson. the excited about the possibility of meeting borisjohnson. the idea that theresa may would have any influence on him!
10:41 pm
theresa may would have any influence on him i think is a nice, hopeful thought. i threw it out as a possibility. final word on the us president, taking us to the front of the metro. he did use the word nasty, because it is there on tape, but he says he didn't. yes, he is lying is what he is doing here. he was asked about ragan markle. lying is what he is doing here. he was asked about ragan marklem this is in the sun interview. -- meghan markle, yes, she was criticism of him, which she is entitled to be, and he said, i didn't know she was nasty, and he doesn't pull his punches in criticising his opponents, but he is now claiming he didn't say it, i never said she was nasty, made up by the fake news media, will they apologise? doubt it. we should call it what it is, he is lying. he is caught on tape, there is no ambiguity here, no case if he meant something else, maybe he did, but he said it, and i would rephrase that
10:42 pm
headline if i had been in charge of the metro front page. maybe they are watching it will take that on board. moving the weather. take us to the front the independent. slavery victims. return to capitas' homes. this is an important story by my organisation tonight. we are familiar with the litany of errors and cruelties and incompetence is of the home office, we think about windrush, we think about the hostile environment policy that theresa may brought in. this is a very specific failing were victims of trafficking are being released from detention, and when they are they are being sent back to the addresses where they were placed into slavery because they have nowhere else to go, and the home office has an agreement with the salvation army that when someone is released from detention and they are recognised as a victim of slavery, they are meant to be placed in the care of the salvation army to make sure this doesn't happen, and yet the home office is not doing that very, very simple task of passing on the details of these unfortunate people, hence they have nowhere else to go,
10:43 pm
they get sent back to these addresses where they were persecuted. even by the standards of the home office and the cruelties in misery and suffering that department has inflicted, this is really quite something. that they accept that the correct processes we re something. that they accept that the correct processes were not followed. that's a very cold way of saying that they accept that vulnerable people were sent back to the addresses where they had been previously abused. there is a quote in the long article from one of the lawyers involved, and she says that the home office is showing a com plete the home office is showing a complete lack of empathy, and i think that defines this story, the home of his policies and all kinds of things, on immigration, on eu migrants trying to get special status, on windrush, and anything involving home office bureaucracy, their inefficiency and lack of empathy i just ruining their inefficiency and lack of empathy ijust ruining lives. you might remember theresa may has made tackling modern slavery a cause celebre for her. i want to squeeze two more in. rob,
10:44 pm
took us to... you really don't want took us to... you really don't want to squeeze this one in. this is the back of the guardian, and these are a lot of liverpool fans celebrating. julian and i have shared pain there this evening. him far more than me, lam from this evening. him far more than me, i am from generations of manchester united supporters, you are a tottenham fan, it is far worse. we came second! they were fantastic scenes in liverpool, people were happy and rightly so, and the fact that liverpool played poorly and where the recipients of a joke decision of a penalty that enabled them to win the game, you won't be biased at all. are clearly not at all! coffee, rachel. this is the best story in any of the papers, because drinking up to 25 cups of coffee a day does not damage your heart. 25 cups? i was saying early it does depend on probably the
10:45 pm
strength of the copy, if it is american filter coffee you can drink gallons of it. it will have a strong bearing on your bladder!m gallons of it. it will have a strong bearing on your bladder! it is good for your cardiovascular system, you spend the whole day running to the toilet! but i think this is good news for journalists everywhere, toilet! but i think this is good news forjournalists everywhere, the amount of coffee we drink. it doesn't necessarily say it is good for you in general, just that it is not bad for your heart, but i want to know who they were getting to drink 25 cups of coffee a day. more questions need to be asked! further research needed. maybe between now and your next appearance you can do some sort of test and see how it works out! thank you both for your time. rachel and rob will be back at half past 11 for another look at the papers. and don't forget as well you can see the front pages of the papers online, it is all there for you, papers online, it is all there for you , seven papers online, it is all there for you, seven days a week, and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on the bbc iplayer, but thanks once again to both of my gets, and next on bbc
10:46 pm
10:47 pm
a new museum at one of the world's most iconic sites here in new york. first up, though, back in march, mike headed to the other side of america to see if he could track down some of the mysterious mountain lions that live, unbelievably, the outskirts of los angeles. it's thought that there could be 30,000 mountain lions in western north america, but sightings are extremely rare. now, passionate locals are using modern technology to photograph the lions and broaden public understanding of them. joanna turner first discovered the verdugo lion p41 six years ago, with one of the dozen camera traps she sat up on the outskirts of la. today i'm joining her to check one out and see if a lion has been through here recently.
10:48 pm
this... is that... that was the cougar cam. did we just trigger the trap? where's the camera, in the bottom? in one week, what would you expect to see on this camera? the lions habitually come through every 2—3 weeks. so it depends where we fall in there. there's no telling until we take a look. that's a funny photo of a raccoon. all right, so this is what we're hoping to get. this is this camera spot, from about a month ago. this is a really big male. he's eaten well recently, he's got a big burger baby there. so let's see what was on this memory card. hope we get to see him again. let's see, a couple of daytime shots.
10:49 pm
and yeah, that's the end of the roll. all right, so, 261! photos. and not a single mountain lion. butjoanna has often been much luckier catching lions on camera. she invited me to her la home to show me some of her favourite photos and tell me more about p41, who was named as part of research work on local mountain lions. when i started this, if a lion wandered into suburbia and was seen by people, they would call lapd. they would call animal control. and they would instantly send people out to find it and shoot it dead. they were scared of it? yeah. and once i started showing pictures of a lion that is calm, it went from shoot on sight to, well, we can tranquillize and relocate, and then at least it has a chance.
10:50 pm
0r now, the ultimate step is, you don't have to do anything. yeah, yeah. behind me, far off into the distance, is one of the most iconic sites in the world, the statue of liberty. and back in may, i went to liberty island to visit a brand new museum, just a few weeks before it opened. i even helped them out with some of the final preparations. the piece de resistance, the original torch. the torch. the original torch. wow. it stood up there from 1886 to 1984. the original torch had been changed from bartholdi's design to include
10:51 pm
a glass—panel flame that could be lit up at night. in the 1980s it was removed and replaced during a massive restoration of the statue. tell me about how difficult it was to get the torch in here. well, i didn't have to do it... but it was quite a task. people worked for about two weeks from 3:00 in the afternoon, till 3:00 at night. and they had this carrier that they laid the face on its back and then put the torch on it. it all worked quite well and here it is. martin and his team have been in charge of conserving the torch and cleaning it up. well, today is the last day. it's sort of the clean—down from the top down. they are finishing up with the lighting fissures inside. myjob is then the final clean—down of everything that falls down. it'sjust a simple cotton cloth, just trying to get the heavy things out.
10:52 pm
just getting rid of that dirt. like with any cleaning job, it is never done. i think it is really quite impressive just how much detail there is on something that really was not designed to be seen close—up. you know, just the detail is so intricate. it is pretty amazing how it all comes together, huh? part in part, piece to piece, and then all of a sudden you've got a torch. yeah. it is so iconic and you think about its history and how it stood for freedom and for liberty to people all over the world. it really is a remarkable piece of work.
10:53 pm
now, to finish this look back at some of our favourites films from the last few months, here's a couple that maybe prove it's about where you are going, it's how you get there. howdy, how do you do, mate. all right? yeah, good to see you, danny. look at this mobil. there you go, mate, jump in. all set? yep, let's do it. everywhere we look i'm just seeing — what's that? a rolls royce gong past, yeah, seeing like, it's standard if you haven't got enough disposable income to ship a souvenir home, then danny's ninth degree group of local supercar owners hold regular track days and events here and they will even let you hire
10:54 pm
one of their top of the range models so that you can get behind the wheel, for a few hours at least. we're going to go for a spin in this car and this car is the real deal. it is almost £1 million worth of raw, brutal, unadulterated power. dan, let's do this, man. let's go. oh, yes! screams. oh, my days. welcome to sigulda's bobsleigh track, one of the very few in the world
10:55 pm
where tourists can get the same adrenaline rush as professional racers. the track is now used as a training venue for several latvian champions but there are no competitions on today, which is lucky for me because it means i get to try it out. although, having a look... i do not really feel so lucky. ok, let's go. we've got the team together. we are about to set off 100 kilometres down a very icy hill but luckily i have an expert pilot, so fingers crossed, i can go through smoothly. apart from the pilot steering the bobsleigh from the front, a team also includes pushers and a breakman. but tourists get it easy. theyjust need to duck in and hold...very tight. this track is almost 1500m long and you need a pretty strong stomach to manage its 16 curves.
10:56 pm
oh, man, i think that is one of the most intense experiences of my entire life. that was like being in a very, very active, very cold tumble dryerfor 1.5 minutes. i don't even know how long it was. that was completely insane. christa taking on the ice and surviving in latvia, back in april. well, that's it for this week. coming up on next week's travel show: we are back on the road again with our blind backpacker, tony giles.
10:57 pm
so far, he has travelled to more than 125 countries on his own and this time he is in ethiopia. in the meantime, don't forget you can follow our journeys on social media. until next time, though, from me, lucy hedges, and all the travel show team here in new york, it's goodbye. hello. a mix day of weather is drawing to a close, the warmest day of the year thus far for some, 28 celsius, but at the same time others had a fairly cloudy breezy sort of day with showers if not longer spells of rain and will continue in that vein close by to the low centre to the western side of scotland into the wee small hours, plenty of showers. and a fresh feel to the night. a low of around ten to 12. we were looking around 16 or 17 last night. monday brings yet more cloud in rain and some shall we burst into northern ireland.
10:58 pm
quite a breezy day here as well. some of the gusts around a0 to 50 miles an hour. but come away towards the east side of scotland, down across the greater part of england and wales, still quite a breezy day in prospect, enough cloud for there to be the odd passing shower, but essentially it is a dry day, the slightly fresher feel to it, many a blessing temperatures in the teens with a height
11:00 pm
this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00pm: 750,000 liverpool fans paint the town red as they welcome home the champions of europe for a sixth time. it's just unreal. it'sjust unreal. you've got to be here and feel it and experience it to know what it really means for us. what was achieved was absolutely brilliant. stumbling home! president trump will shortly head to britain for a state visit after making controversial comments about the conservative party leadership and brexit. thousands of protestors are expected to demonstrate against his visit. four british climbers are rescued from india's second—highest mountain, but another four are still missing. a cruise ship lost control
