gone through with seren. for rhys' generation, having your genome sequenced will eventually be the norm, benefiting individuals from cradle to grave, ensuring the treatment they get is right for their unique genetic code and helping researchers find better medicines in future. fergus walsh, bbc news. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, katy balls, who's the deputy political editor at the spectator, and the political commentator, lance price. that's coming up just after the headlines at 11:30. mark easton, bbc news, broadcasting house. several weather warnings are in place for parts of south—east and eastern england tonight. that is after a month's eastern england tonight. that is after a months worth of rain fell in the space ofjust a few hours
11:31 pm
today. the met office said flooding and transport disruption were likely. the bad weather is said to continue until later on this week. let us find out more about the weather prospects. right now we can get the forecast. hello there. monday was a day of contrast. sunny spells and a few isolated showers for scotland and northern ireland. rainfor for scotland and northern ireland. rain for england and wales. but it probably came as welcome news for many. if we take a look at this chart issued by the met office for spring, which illustrates average rainfall anomalies, you can see across eastern england from midlands, down into this outcome it has been particularly dry few months. so the rain is welcome news. but it may not be as we move through the week. they will explain more in just a moment. it does look as though it will state and settle for the next few days, with blustery winds and cool for the middle part ofjune. it is all because of this area of low pressure that is entered into the near continent and wrapping
11:32 pm
around that lowers a series of weather fronts bringing some around that lowers a series of weatherfronts bringing some heavy and at times some persistent rain. on tuesday looks likely we will see the rain across the north of england into the midlands, wales, south—west england for a time. we could have a few scattered showers into the south—east. here a drier, sunny afternoon. for the north and west more cloud around than we saw on monday, but largely dry. we need to factor in the strength and direction of the wind. coming from the north—east, that will make you feel quite dismal with the cloud and the rain, highs of 12 degrees. if we keep some sunshine with a little shelter from the wind, 19 keep some sunshine with a little shelterfrom the wind, 19 is not keep some sunshine with a little shelter from the wind, 19 is not out of the question. as we move into wednesday it will almost be a case of spot the difference. we are going to see this relentless conveyor belt of wet weather moving across from the north sea, sitting through northern england and parts of wales. and as we could for some areas see over 100 millimetres of rain starting up over the next few days, it may lead to some localised flooding. again, there could be
11:33 pm
sharp, thundery downpours into the far south—east. after a drier story, that area of low pressure drift north and west, taking the rain into scotla nd north and west, taking the rain into scotland and northern ireland. on thursday there will be some heavy rain. lighter winds than we will have seen earlier in the week. elsewhere it is a case of sunny spells and frequent possibly thundery downpours. some of these producing some large totals. drying up producing some large totals. drying up or should get a little more in the way of sunshine, a little more in the way of warmth. as we move out of thursday the winds will change direction. they will pick up from the south—westerly. that will help it feel a little bit better. that is because the low will move off to the north—west stop a south—westerly wind takes over. it will be quite a light wind as well. a little bit drier, a little bit warmer across much of central and southern parts of england and wales, up into the far north—west we still keep somewhat all—weather. looking further ahead, we need to look at the jet stream. for the start of this week, thejet
11:34 pm
the jet stream. for the start of this week, the jet will be across the uk, a fairly weak affair, but it means things they fairly unsettled. for the 6—10 day period, there are indications that the jet moves to the north. if we are on the south side to thejet the north. if we are on the south side to the jet we are on the warmer side to the jet we are on the warmer side of thejet. side to the jet we are on the warmer side of the jet. so fingers crossed things might start to improve just a little, as high—pressure bills and from the south—west there always the potential of keeping low pressure anchored to the north—west. here a little cooler, brazier, and often showery at times. high pressure may well return. —— breezy. it could stay wet and windy at times further north. further south, the greater chance of seeing more sunshine and, hopefully, a little more warmth. all in all, sunshine for some, rain for hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first the headlines:
11:35 pm
ten candidates have been confirmed tonight after gaining enough support from fellow tory mps. they face the first ballot on thursday. vying for the top job — some launched their campaigns today. the winner should be in place by the end ofjuly. the end of free tv licences for most over 75s, but the bbc says the poorest pensioners still won't have to pay. a nurse has been rearrested by police investigating the deaths of babies at the countess of chester hospital, in cheshire. a helicopter has crashed on top of a 54—storey building in new york, killing the pilot. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
11:36 pm
bringing us tomorrow. with me are katy balls, who's the deputy political editor at the spectator, and the political commentator, lance price. most of tomorrow's front pages are now in. let's start with the financial times, which leads on the tory leadership race. it claims borisjohnson remains the frontrunner, butjeremy hunt's campaign is gaining momentum. "the gloves are off" — so says the metro, which focuses on another leadership hopeful, michael gove, and his criticism of his rival borisjohnson. the same story makes the front page of the telegraph. it says mr gove is being accused of "desperation", with his attack on borisjohnson seen as an attempt to deflect questions over his past cocaine use. the times says borisjohnson is facing criticism notjust from michael gove, but also from dominic raab and jeremy hunt, over his plans for tax cuts for the rich. a different story in the mirror. it reports on the bbc‘s announcement, that free tv licences for more than three
11:37 pm
and a half million pensioners are being scrapped. and the daily mail claims there's a backlash over that new ruling, which comes into force nextjune. so, two main stories dominating the front pages — tory leadership, and the bbc. let's see what our reviewers make of it all. let us start with the metro, katy. gove gohdes boris. the gloves are off in the face of the tory leadership —— gohdes. off in the face of the tory leadership -- gohdes. they obviously met at the last tory leadership election which did not go well for either of them. theresa may was picked after michael gove turned on borisjohnson, said picked after michael gove turned on boris johnson, said he picked after michael gove turned on borisjohnson, said he could not support him... stabbed him in the back, people say. stabbed him in the back, people say. stabbed him in the back and stabbed him in the front. then borisjohnson pulled out, michael gove tried to go on but had not enough support. in this current leadership race we see these old
11:38 pm
rivalries resurface. did that damage michael gove, do you think? we have had the cocaine allegations as well. what some people saw as a betrayal borisjohnson, has that caused him lasting damage? i think it has caused him a lot of damage. i think he has repaired some of that. quite $0011 he has repaired some of that. quite soon after it happened in 2016 you saw him banished to the backbenches briefly to try redeem himself. he was brought back into governor. i think part of the reason he was seen as one of theresa may's more loyal ministers was, i suppose, friends of michael gove said he did not think he would get away with the idea that he would get away with the idea that he had knifed three prime ministers. blame for david cameron with the eu referendum, stopping borisjohnson, so he felt he had to be very loyal to theresa may. i think what you are seeing today, we have had several big leadership launches start, more coming this week, michael gove faced this story, which admitted at the weekend. he has tried to deflect a
11:39 pm
move from that, at his lines, made some digs at borisjohnson, saying he was not going to hide in a bunker because he was in trouble. lots of people said borisjohnson spent much of the leadership campaign in a bunker. still a frontrunner but not very visible. you can see him going on the attack, partly to move the conversation on. lance, it is a bit like watching the beginning of the grand national, where you have a big field of ten contenders, who will be the winner? i think some people are surprised that as many as ten were able to muster a mp5 to support them. it is a relatively low threshold. there are some obvious no hopers still in the race. there is i'io hopers still in the race. there is no doubt that boris johnson hopers still in the race. there is no doubt that borisjohnson is out there as the favourite, in terms of there as the favourite, in terms of the numberof mps there as the favourite, in terms of the number of mps that claim to be backing him he is way out in front. and as far as we can tell, from people who go out and interview members of the conservative party around the country, he is popular with them, too. if you get into the
11:40 pm
final round, and it is looking increasingly likely well, then it would be a bullish person who would bet against him. and then what would bet against him. and then what would be the implications? —— fullness. would he us to a no—deal brexit? be the implications? —— fullness. would he us to a no—deal brexit7m he were to be prime minister it would be a highway act for the conservative party and for the country, quite honestly. he has said that come hell or high water we are going to leave the european union on the 315t of october, either with a deal or without a deal. he claims to wa nt deal or without a deal. he claims to want a deal, but anybody who knows anything about the negotiating situation and also the fact that brussels and westminster, for that matter, closing shot over some much, that it matter, closing shot over some much, thatitis matter, closing shot over some much, that it is all but impossible for a new deal, a radically different deal to be negotiated before the 315t of october —— shop. his policy would appear to be going headlong for a no—deal brexit, something parliament has that will not happen. he doesn't seem to be flying a little bit by
11:41 pm
the seat of his pants stop i would argue that he isjust indulging in fa nta sy argue that he isjust indulging in fantasy politics. what about jeremy hunt? he features in the times, inside the times, darmian, the serious man, wins a supportive cabinet women. is he gaining momentum, katy was yellow i think he is. almost the byproduct of this is thatjeremy hunt is doing quite well. those two candidates are fighting each other, perhaps boris johnson isn't doing much. we can't see him. there is a sense that michael gove is struggling this week. he has lost the momentum with the various stories about him. now you have jeremy the various stories about him. now you havejeremy hunt. when you look at he was going to make it into the final two of the tory leadership contest, you look at the parliamentary party, there is a senseit parliamentary party, there is a sense it would be a full on brexiteer, someone like boris johnson, probably boris johnson, brexiteer, someone like boris johnson, probably borisjohnson, and the other spot is likely to go to a cabinet candidate and the people competing for that are michael gove,
11:42 pm
jeremy hunt, sajid javid, potentially matt hancock. you have seen todayjeremy hunt go ahead because he has had two big cabinet endorsements. i think the most important for him is penny mordaunt, the defence secretary, she is a brexiteer, she campaigned for brexit, jeremy hunt voted remain. he does need to show mpc has brexiteer credentials. lance, briefly, people say there are surprises in tory leadership races, the frontrunner doesn't win. margaret thatcher, of course, was an outsider, really, in this case, is the frontrunner going to be the winner? who knows? you know. that is why you are here.|j don't have a crystal ball to tell you the outcome of it all. these elections are incredibly unpredictable. one of the reasons boris is in his bunk and not doing any interviews and isn't being grilled is because everyone knows his capacity for speaking off the cuff, saying things that he later regrets, using under diplomatic
11:43 pm
language, if that would happen, if you came out of his bunk and was exposed, that could expose... anything could happen. the michael gove story about drugs came from somewhere. who knows what stories might be looking. we go to the mirror. a story about the bbc. 3.7 million pensioners lose free tv licences, says the daily mirror. what you make of this whole story? it's pretty big in the papers, actually, a lot of them very angry on behalf of pensioners that these free licenses are being scope for the over 75 is. is it the fault of the over 75 is. is it the fault of the bbc or the government? —— scrapped. there is a lot of anger. it is basically a blame game. lots of the papers are making the case that they don't believe it is a good decision, editorially, and the public don't either. it did go to a public don't either. it did go to a public consultation and it was 52-48, public consultation and it was 52—48, which i think is one of the justifications, a very tight result.
11:44 pm
we have heard those numbers before. we have heard those numbers before. we want a second vote. it is clearly a left—leaning paper pointing the blame towards the tories. campaigners told their fury at the tories. i think, campaigners told their fury at the tories. ithink, ultimately, the bbc did go through this when george osborne handed it over to the bbc and that meant it was the bbc‘s responsibility. i can see how it is a difficult decision for them to make and they will get bad press from it. but almost i think the fight needed to be in stopping it. they would probably rather bad press than losing hundreds of millions of pounds. the daily mail, speaking about bad press, they are pretty angry about it. and the express, bbc, join us to stop axing of free tv licences. and outraged, they say, over 3.7 million pensioners losing the benefit. sign our petition.
11:45 pm
over 3.7 million pensioners losing the benefit. sign our petitionm takes something like this to unite a and a right wing paper, although they are owned by the same newspaper group now “— they are owned by the same newspaper group now “ a they are owned by the same newspaper group now —— a left wing and a right wing. as katy says, the mirror says it is the fault of the government, andl it is the fault of the government, and i think are probably as the government's vault. although the bbc we re full government's vault. although the bbc were full is to allow the hot potato to be passed to them in the license fee settlement. where is the express turnsit fee settlement. where is the express turns it on the bbc and the mail does as well. the daily mail has never had any love lost for the bbc. the bbc finds itself in a very difficult position. in my view, it is not the job of the bbc, it is essentially a benefit, government should decide which sections of the public at a benefit and how it is paid for. it was on the 2017 ma nifesto paid for. it was on the 2017 manifesto they spoke about not scrapping it. but then a minister
11:46 pm
pointed out that maybe it was not something they could have as a pledge because it is no longer up to them. there is some confusion there and it is not been helped by the conservative party. a story about red wine. with the romans give us a taste for red wine? apparently so. i love red wine. i am very fond of red wine but what i did not know until i read the story is that you can do a dna analysis of wine and see how long it has been around. some of the most popular types of wine such as pinot noir have in around for more than 2000 years and have not changed. again, i did not know anything about this until i read the article but apparently if you leave vines by themselves they cross pollinate, they are sexually promiscuous, that's what it says... and the dna gets mixed up. but this has been kept pure and they say it
11:47 pm
is been kept pure probably because of the monks who understood the necessity to keep not only themselves but the vines pure. i am glad the red wine has such a long heritage. what about james bond films? are you shop to see the hero of james bond james bond films? are you shop to see the hero ofjames bond movies walking around with a... a foot thing. there is a case around his foot. a casing. he hurt his foot while filming. not a typical look forjames bond and i think this film has had many setbacks so they are making the point that this is just one ina making the point that this is just one in a series. i am not a particular bond fanatic. alike james
11:48 pm
bond film but it seems that every other one is quite a good one and one after that is a turkey. it looks as if this one is heading towards being a turkey. everything seems to being a turkey. everything seems to be going wrong. explosions at the studio. they cannot find a schedule when both the hero and the villain are both free to film. and it is already two years behind schedule. despite all that, people will still go and see it in huge numbers. vast numbers. daniel craig said he would rather die than do another bond film and here he is. all publicity is good publicity. i suppose it is, isn't it. here's hoping his foot will get better. a film will be made. that is my prediction. millions of people will go and see it. a good prediction. another movie star, michael douglas. a story in the telegraph about michael douglas
11:49 pm
and his house in may yorker which he is trying to sell and it is a 200 acre place that he has got in may yorker and it was on sale for 49 million. —— a place for sale in majorca. they say he has been forced to narrate an estate agent ‘s video to narrate an estate agent ‘s video to try and increase interest. if you wa nt to to try and increase interest. if you want to look at it, you can hear his voice. and you have a good michael douglas story? a story that did not quite happen. very nearly 20 years ago i nearly spent the evening with him 20 years ago in majorca when he could have told me about his love for the island and the house he purchased. i was therefore a wedding. is that when new labour had its wedding? half the guests went to
11:50 pm
the bar in the hotel where we were staying and there was michael propping up the bar and they spent the evening talking with michael douglas. but because i was on the dance floor and they had finally begun to play abba, i stayed there. you probably had more fun dancing to abba. you will never see it but i am very good. thank you very much to the both of you. that is all for the papers tonight. you can see them online on our bbc 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, katy and lance. and from all of us, good night. hello, this is sport today,
11:51 pm
live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme: a lot of football to get through this evening and we will start with the women's world cup in france where there has been a shock that could potentially help england and scotland. japan began their quest to reach a third straight final with a scoreless draw against argentina. they are in the england and scotland group. japan won back in 2011 but could not find a goal against an argentina side who had never before earned a single point in the women's world cup. and they were delighted with the result which leaves england at the result which leaves england at the top of group d after they defeated scotland yesterday. england are on top as the only ones to register a victory. there are two games played this evening where
11:52 pm
canada, the hosts from four years ago, defeated cameroon. the netherlands and new zealand are the other teams in group d who play tomorrow. in the men's game it has been a busy night of qualifiers for the 2020 european championship ireland remain on the top of group d but they had a frustrating night against a proper. they went in front when this shot was deflected . but that went down as an own goal. but ireland had to wait until stoppage time at the end ireland had to wait until stoppage time a : the end ireland had to wait until stoppage time a second. elsewhere, one of the grab a second. elsewhere, one of the big games of the night, spain defeated sweden 3—0 to keep up their 100% record in group f. the third in cricket, south africa and the west indies abandoned their game.
11:53 pm
settling for one point each. south africa were 29—2 when rain stopped play and the game was eventually called off. south africa had just a point and probably will need to win the five remaining matches to qualify for the semifinals. we are in this position because we have not played our best cricket. we do not deserve to be anywhere close to the top but it is quite clear for us as a team that we need to be at our best and play well over the next five times. we face afghanistan next which are a dangerous team. they have shown that they can on any day and we need to start playing better more consistent and solid cricket. if we can do that and then the results start happening, we will get a lot of confidence from that for the later stages. chris froome and simon yates have begun to move towards bill leaders in the criterion, a warmup to the tour de france. his fellow britain yates is
11:54 pm
in 10th. chris froome is using the race is a buildup to the tour where he will be chasing a record willing fifth victory. a belgian cyclist has won the opening stage of the women's tourfor won the opening stage of the women's tour for the second year. she crossed the line first last year and now she has unfortunately again. caster semenya has been included in south africa's preliminary team for the world championship in zohar. but thatis the world championship in zohar. but that is dependent on the outcome of her appeal over a ruling that she can only race in distances from 400 metres to one mile if she takes medication to lower her testosterone levels. and that is all this but for now. a months worth of rainfall across
11:55 pm
some parts of south—eastern england todayit some parts of south—eastern england today it was only 12 degrees, quite unusualfor today it was only 12 degrees, quite unusual for this today it was only 12 degrees, quite unusualfor this time today it was only 12 degrees, quite unusual for this time of year so chilly. look at this picture from great yarmouth. a miserable scene here. slate grey size and if you look at europe you will notice a pattern. this is the satellite loop from the last 24 hours and you can see the clouds have stuck across this part of europe and you have a sensation that they are rotating around the same place. this is down toa around the same place. this is down to a large vortex of whether forming across western europe and on the one hand we have cold air coming in from the north all the way from the arctic tucking into this lobe and also as far south as spain and portugal and france from the other hand you have a heat wave of warm aircoming infrom hand you have a heat wave of warm air coming in from the south from africa across eastern parts of europe. that's the sort of you nanjing of weather. here is the rain through the night. you concede is still raining heavily across many parts of uk and the lime green indicates torrential rain but the
11:56 pm
south—east is starting to dry out across kent the stars are out but the roads are flooded. northern scotland, the north of the uk and northern ireland pretty much clear through the night and here is the weather map for tuesday. ‘s weather front is so slow—moving. it is clawing itself around into this low ata clawing itself around into this low at a glacial pace so it keeps reining in the same spot all the time. the rain does not even need to be that heavy for a little flooding to occur, it is just the persistence really did it in the south—east it will feel much warmer, from 12 in london today reaching perhaps 19 but there is the risk of storms developing and some downpours to scotla nd developing and some downpours to scotland and northern ireland have a little sunshine from time to time on tuesday. this is wednesday's weather forecast in the low pressure is still with us, not in a hurry to budge. rain in the north—eastern north—western part of england
11:57 pm
getting some rainfall and further heavy showers are expected in the south. western—style and —— scotland and the northern isles look fine and on wednesday into thursday the low is just not moving and one of the reasons why it is stuck is because is away to the north of where it should not be. this is the summery for the rest of the week heavy rain, cool and pretty windy. i don't know. maybe you do like that. would be good news for you.
