know that seals can apparently sing. sings twinkle twinkle little star. that has proved they can sing apparently. a group of grey seals have been taught to sing and among other tunes, twinkle twinkle little star. believe it or not, as part of a study at the university of st. andrews which teaches them new sounds and songs. including the star wa rs sounds and songs. including the star wars theme tune. that was the end of him and scientists hope the research could lead to new ways of studying speech disorders. i still don't know what the last june is. —— lastjune. i will look at the papers with our reviewers,
11:31 pm
the associate editor of the times, and jason beatty, head of politics at the daily mirror, that story will not feature, that is coming up after the headlines at 1130. most of us on friday how to find out whether with plenty of sunshine made for quite a nice change given how wetjune for quite a nice change given how wet june has for quite a nice change given how wetjune has been for quite a few of us. wetjune has been for quite a few of us. skies like this will continue on into the first part of the weekend as well, the changing fortunes all down to this area of high pressure, believe it or not it is the first high—pressure we have seen for the whole of the ofjune. what it does mean weatherwise is across england and wales we will see plenty of sunshine and for a good part of northern ireland and scotland as well, though there will be a few patches of cloud and the odd passing shower, certainly some showers in the forecast for shetland where it will continue to be cloudy at times, and breezy as well, but in the sunshine for most of the uk, things are warming up. temperatures reaching 19 and bright and quite widely across england and wales, those temperatures pushing on into the low 20s. there will be changes
11:32 pm
in the forecast for the second half of the weekend, high pressure still there, we start to see this low pressure edging from the south—west and that is likely to cause some trouble later on. the sunday morning, most of us will start off dry with some hazy spells of sunshine soon developing, and it will start to feel increasingly warm and humid across the south of england and wales as those temperatures continue to rise. as far as the temperatures go through the afternoon on sunday we should see highs reaching 2a degrees towards london, high teens further north. you can't help but notice is area of rain. through sunday afternoon on sunday night, we will see some thundery rain breakout, the amount of rain we see from place to place will vary significantly, with this amount of rain in places falling over a short time there is the scope of localised flooding. over sunday night into monday that trouble spreads northwards, we could see up to 100 metres —— 100 millimetres over the high ground in
11:33 pm
scotla nd millimetres over the high ground in scotland with a risk of flooding. some could see the highest temperatures of the year so far, while are contending with the threat of big thundery downpours and localised flooding issues. there will be day—to—day uncertainties given all the energy in the atmosphere and the threat of those thundery storms, but on monday it looks like the highest rain will be a crossed northern scotland, for the thunderstorms will break out in england and wales as the day goes by, some of those could be torrential as well, and it will continue to feel quite humid. looking at tuesday's forecast there is another day where we could see some thunderstorms breakout, perhaps some thunderstorms breakout, perhaps some areas of low cloud affecting the north sea coast keeping things cool and gloomy. generally over the next few days we're going to see this emerging trend in temperatures where it is quite hot and humid the south, but temperatures not so impressive further north with a more fresh feel to the weather, and that is because the errors coming from a different place, indeed across the north and east of the uk we have more of that north—easterly flow of aircoming in. that more of that north—easterly flow of air coming in. that continues into wednesday, perhaps a drier kind of
11:34 pm
day with wind changing direction it may well be the hottest air gets blown towards southern wales and south—west england where it will continue to feel very hot and humid. 22 in edinburgh as well. later on in the week we will start to see the block of pressure pattern begin to change because of the jetstream, often with computers these blocks come down a little too quickly so it could be that the status quo is maintained for a bit longer, but we think what will happen is that late next week it stays warm and humid in the south with the fresh air affecting the north of the uk, some sunshine but a continued threat of heavy, thundery downpours. but there isa heavy, thundery downpours. but there is a lot of uncertainty in that.
11:35 pm
this is bbc news, we will take a look at tomorrow morning's papers in the moment, but first the latest headlines. the parents of a teenage muslim convert who went to syria to fight for the islamic state group have been found guilty of funding terrorism. there are reports this evening that police were called to the home of borisjohnson and his partner after screaming and shouting we re partner after screaming and shouting were heard. president trump says the
11:36 pm
us military was cocked and loaded to retaliate against iran last night, he changed his mind ten minutes before the planned strikes. the foreign office minister mark field has been suspended after he was filmed pushing a climate change demonstrator at a dinner in the city of london. hello and welcome to our lookahead at what the papers will bring us in the morning. with me are an ash with, the associate editor of the times, and jason beattie who is the head of politics at the daily mirror. let's have a look at those front pages first of all, the guardian leading with reports that police were called by a neighbour to the home of conservative leadership candidate boris johnson and the home of conservative leadership candidate borisjohnson and his partner shortly after midnight last night. the mirror also have that story on its front page, the time is
11:37 pm
saying that mrjohnson may be questioned over the alleged incident when he appears in front of,000 of conservative party members in birmingham. the telegraph are leading with that story as well, the daily mail also reports the story, claiming that a neighbour reportedly heard screaming and shouting coming from the flat. the express is describing the incident as a furious dustup. as you can see there is pretty much one story in town for those papers. let's kick us off, jason, this is the time is, and their take on the events of boris johnson's home. they are throwing it forward to the first hustings of the tory party members in birmingham tomorrow, and i imagine that team boris is scrambling around at the moment, wondering what is the line that they take, he is going to be
11:38 pm
asked about it, if not asked about it by members he will be asked by the press as he arrives and tries to leave. what does he say? it is a difficult one, reason it is difficult one, reason it is difficult is because they have been trying extraordinarily hard since he launched his bid for the leadership to repackage boris johnson launched his bid for the leadership to repackage borisjohnson as launched his bid for the leadership to repackage boris johnson as a launched his bid for the leadership to repackage borisjohnson as a more serious, dedicated figure, less of the banter and jokes and the ruffled hair borisjohnson, the banter and jokes and the ruffled hair boris johnson, and the banter and jokes and the ruffled hair borisjohnson, and more of this kind of statesmanlike, if that is possible, kind of figure. and this i'iow possible, kind of figure. and this now throws open all the questions that people had about his suitability to be prime minister, it is no state secret that he got sacked twice for lying, it is not a safe —— sacked twice for lying, it is not a
11:39 pm
safe — — state sacked twice for lying, it is not a safe —— state secret that he is a bad hopper, it is not a sacred —— not a state secret that he uses language which sometimes i would say is questionable at best and offensive at worst. we knew these doubts existed, that is factored in. but now, they would desperately be trying to park this, and he has been shielded from the media as much as possible, he has given very few interviews at all, and now this is kind of, the danger for them is it becomes, his past and private life becomes, his past and private life becomes an open becomes, his past and private life ijecoities an open game, becomes, his past and private life becomes an open game, and in this particular instance there are real questions to answer. we should point out at this answer that we in the bbc cannot independently verify what the neighbours were saying, it is important to get across. it is the
11:40 pm
most extraordinary story emanating all the papers, —— dominating on the papers, and also on a day when we usually have a much greater diversity of front—page stories, which indicates the massive interest in boris and proves that the man can really make the weather, he is a man that makes the news, he seems to attract publicity to him. how the tory faithful will view this, who knows. they may not want downing street to have a coronation street flavour, or they may just street to have a coronation street flavour, or they mayjust think street to have a coronation street flavour, or they may just think that this is part and parcel of the man and they can live with this aspect of his personality, because they see him as the man most able to take on the eu and to triumphant in an election againstjeremy corbyn. which goes back to what you are saying, jason, about things that are factored in. if so much has been
11:41 pm
factored in. if so much has been factored in. if so much has been factored in already, whatever has happened here can just add to that list and in theory won't make any difference. but we were just discussing that people start to vote on this quite early. they don't necessarily have to listen to every hustings. and it may be that those who are slightly disposed against borisjohnson may who are slightly disposed against boris johnson may make who are slightly disposed against borisjohnson may make this as an excuse to vote forjeremy hunt instead. basicallyjeremy hunt has to use this opportunity, he has a god—given opportunity here to make his case whilejohnson is slightly weakened, while he is trying to work out how to come back, talk about these reports, and it will be very interesting to see. i am not going to be so much watching boris tomorrow, i am going to see what jeremy hunt is doing. indeed he has given an interview to the telegraph where borisjohnson given an interview to the telegraph where boris johnson is given an interview to the telegraph where borisjohnson is a columnist. let's show the front of the
11:42 pm
telegraph, is intriguing where you have the paper where borisjohnson writes for, carrying jeremy hunt. jeremy hunt needs to reach out to tory supporting papers, the mirror finds this when we have labour leadership elections, they are knocking at our door to give interviews. i don't think that is a great surprise. i am not particularly impressed with what i have read so far of the jeremy hunt interview, the top line is that he is saying "i won't be theresa may mark two", who would vote for theresa may mark to, if that is your bar it is pretty low. if you are wanting to look different from your opponent... the answer boris. -- antivirus. they say when it comes to
11:43 pm
politicians, you look for a remedy, not a replica. he has to put distance between himself and quell the questions about his eight remain affiliation. in the interview he is accusing borisjohnson affiliation. in the interview he is accusing boris johnson of affiliation. in the interview he is accusing borisjohnson of being a bottler, i love all this old—fashioned language bottler, i love all this old —fashioned language that bottler, i love all this old—fashioned language that these quys old—fashioned language that these guys use, because old—fashioned language that these guys use, because he says that boris johnson will not take him on, which is interesting. maybe we will see a different tone to the debates, but he is also longing for a proper british competition in this tory leadership fight, i don't know... another interesting thing that jeremy hunt talked about is, he denies being the beneficiary of a dirty tricks campaign in the vote among tory mps in which, let's remember, not so long ago it actually seems like a week ago in all this, that he beat michael gove. the hustings will be interesting with one other element, because so far we have seen big debates and big
11:44 pm
television set pieces, because they have been so many people involved, and therefore to extent they have been cacophonous, to use boris johnson's word, or they have been messy oi’ johnson's word, or they have been messy or they have been arguments about various aspects, now there are two people, they are exposed and scrutinised in a much more rigourous fashion. i think it is actually quite important, because all the candidates so far, have been able to avoid any sustained forensic questioning about the brexit plans. that is even before you get onto the economic plans, that is before you get on to what they might do about welfare reform and public service... we need that, there was great criticism that theresa may, because of andrea led some's self implosion, she sailed through the leadership without that kind of scrutiny. conservative party members will presumably ask some fairly searching
11:45 pm
questions. —— crosstalk. presumably ask some fairly searching questions. -- crosstalk. it is 160,000, 90% are white, 70% are male, the majority are over 45, it is... crosstalk. i understand it is a system, but do they ask lessons about welfare upon part —— reform, do they ask questions about other things. i suspect they might seek to know from boris exactly what he perceives an ideal today. he can talk about it quite cavalier as if there was a structure there, that we would enter into into the event of an ideal, whereas in fact there isn't. and jeremy hunt i think, in his interview in the telegraph, is much more circumspect. i do believe
11:46 pm
that this contest can now become much more interesting than we thought it was going to be. it is the love island for people who don't look their best in bikinis or going for fake hands, although look their best in bikinis or going forfake hands, although we don't know what they might do... you say that now, but we haven't seen them yet. i think love island is quite tame compared to what we have seen recently. the guardian front-page continues to focus on the boris johnson story, and it was the original source. and all credit to jim watson forgetting the story. —— watterson. you have the second edition on screen now. the let's turn our attention to the trump story. the manager decided to draw back on an airstrike on three iranian targets with just ten minutes to go. after being told at
11:47 pm
the very last minute. this is in retaliation to the downing of a drone which costs in excess of $222 million. it's an expensive piece of hardware to lose but i wonder if this is trump look, you know, i'm a mallet that will sue for peace. i think the singing seals which were more statesmanlike. the real problem is, it's totally impossible to fathom what the strategy is. it is 2000 years of troubled history behind it. he has cast around out into the cold. taken apart and
11:48 pm
international deal to try and help the country. kind of normalise itself. it's showing progress. obama struck the deal. now his love the whole area and actually quite a perilous and frightening situation. the argument he would make is by putting further sanction pressure on iran, it might bring them back to the table. there is supposed to be, amongst people who observe these situations, the secret yearning to come back to the table. then not proceeding towards this objective.
11:49 pm
it is amazing our fascination with oui’ own it is amazing our fascination with our own politics, it's driven the story out of the front pages. because it's potentially very serious. you can't overstated. third world war looming but we would treat our own domestic politics... with an erratic president in charge. you read this and you can't tell how much is bravado or genuine. trying to make sense of his actions is incredibly difficult and that's what makes it so frightening. may be, in the history of the presidency, or what all presidents have done, many more snap decisions just like this, they weren't reported and they were treated. we are seeing events to a different spectrum now. previous
11:50 pm
presence didn't tweet. well, obama did a bit. i will give you that one. let's go to the sun. jason, this is the story of the parents of the british ies fighter who became known asjihadijack, who british ies fighter who became known asjihadi jack, who would jailed british ies fighter who became known asjihadijack, who would jailed but we re asjihadijack, who would jailed but were found guilty of sending money to him in syria. what you make of the paper's coverage and the overall case? it's difficult is apparent especially to read this story and not have some sympathy for them. every parent is the most forgiving. in many ways, this outcome is probably the best one, yes, they haven't been jailed. one
11:51 pm
probably the best one, yes, they haven't beenjailed. one thing i would slightly say is troubling. if they weren't nice respectable white people of a child who had gone to join isis, would they get the same amount of coverage? would it exist? that's the only thing i am slightly worried about. this would have been the story on the front pages because it's a great discussion point amongst parents to say, would you have done the same things. would you have done the same things. would you have tried to send the money. also, whatever we think about this family, this is going to be a much bigger problem because in camps in northern syria, where the kurds are in charge of all these people who were isis
11:52 pm
fighters, and they will not wish to keep forever. they want to send them home, there are going to be so many morejihadijack home, there are going to be so many more jihadi jack arriving home, there are going to be so many morejihadi jack arriving on the doorstep. wide and you pointed out cases like this have occurred quite a lot but they've not had the coverage this one has had because it comes from a white middle—class up ringing. and they were able to track all the payments. it wasn't somebody handing over money. this also, i thinkjihadijack, this handing over money. this also, i thinkjihadi jack, this boy handing over money. this also, i thinkjihadijack, this boy seems handing over money. this also, i thinkjihadi jack, this boy seems to be troubled. it's a story that gets people talking and had it not in for boris, the would have been the front page story. we are going to end with something different. it's on the same pages we have been talking about. the photograph we can see behind me is of 81—year—old kay
11:53 pm
crane. it's an interesting story. did you know that you can get an asbo if you are a lady in your 80s. all wearing a bikini in your garden. if you are wearing a bikini near the window. i'm not sure about whether the bikini is the greatest thing but it is an interesting team, this is yet another talking point story because she feels she still looks the best in it. it's not what i would wear, mainly because it's not my colours. on that note, thank you very much indeed. that is it for the papers. you can see the front pages
11:54 pm
on line on the bbc news website. it is therefore you seven days a week. you can watch it later on the bbc. goodbye. most of us on friday had a fine day of weather with plenty of sunshine and it made for quite a nice change as well given how wet june has been for quite a few of us. skies like this will continue on into the first part of the weekend as well. the changing fortunes or down this area of high pressure, believe it or not the first high—pressure we've seen for the whole of the month ofjune. what it does mean is that across england and wales, plenty of sunshine and for a good part of northern ireland and scotla nd good part of northern ireland and scotland as well although there will bea scotland as well although there will be a few patches of cloud and an odd light passing shower. certainly showers in the forecast were it'll
11:55 pm
be quite cloudy at times and breezy but in the sunshine for most of uk, things are warming up. temperatures reaching a high of 90 degrees in edinburgh and quite widely across england and wales. some changes in the forecast for the second half of the forecast for the second half of the weekend. high—pressure still there but we see this low pressure edging in from the south—west and it is likely to cause some trouble later. for sunday morning, most will start dry with hazy spells of sunshine soon developing is going to start to feel increasingly warm and humid across the south of england and wales as those temperatures continue to rise. as far as temperatures go through the afternoon on sunday, highs reaching 24 degrees, the high teens further north. you can't help but notice this area of rain. there is sunday afternoon and night, we will see some thundery rain breakout. the amount of rain we see from place to place will vary significantly. with
11:56 pm
this amount of rain, there is a scope of localised flooding. that trouble spreads northwards and we could see as much as 100 millimetres over the high ground of scotland. in the week ahead, some areas could see the week ahead, some areas could see the highest temperatures of the year so far while others are contending with the threat of big thundery downpours and localised flooding issues. there will be day—to—day uncertainties given all the energy in the art sphere and the threat of those thundery storms but on monday it looks like the heaviest rain will be spreading across northern scotland. further thunderstorms will breakout across england and wales as the day goes by. some of those could be torrential and it will feel quite humid. looking at the forecast for tuesday, another day where we could see thunderstorms breakout, areas of locale allowed affecting the north sea coast and generally over the next few days, we are going to see this emerging trend in temperatures where it is quite hot and humid in the south but temperatures not so impressive further north with a
11:57 pm
fresh appeal to the weather because the air is coming from a very different place, indeed across the north and east of the uk, more of the north—easterly flow coming in. that continues into wednesday, a dryer kind of day. it may well be the hottest day, it will continue to feel hot and humid. later on, the hottest day, it will continue to feel hotand humid. later on, in the hottest day, it will continue to feel hot and humid. later on, in the week, we'll start to see the pressure pattern change. these blocks will break down a little bit too quickly so it could be the status quo is maintained for a little bit longer. what might happen as it stays warm and humid in the south with fresh air still affecting the north of the uk. some sunshine but a continued threat of heavy thundery downpours but it has to be said there is a lot of uncertainty. that is your weather.
12:00 am
hello, this is bbc news, i am ben bland. these are our top stories. president trump says the us military was set to retaliate against iran but changed his mind ten minutes before planned strikes. you know what, they shot down an unmanned drone, plane, whatever you want to call it, and here we are sitting with 150 dead people. the parents of a british teenager who travelled to syria tojoin a british teenager who travelled to syria to join the islamic state gi’oup syria to join the islamic state group are found guilty of funding terrorism. it was a case that led to huge protests in spain, five man jailed for attacking a woman and sharing video of it online have their sentences increased. elton john receives france's
