10:33 pm
building and its foundations cannot be touched, so a vast cavern let's dip into at least some of is being dug on the edge of trafalgar square those stories. at dawn, take us to to house the essentials of a modern five—star hotel. the metro. does this sum up the underneath there will be a ballroom, state of the tory leadership? in swimming pool, spa. some ways, we have obviously had two it must be some hole! big stories about borisjohnson over it is, it is. the weekend, the first is about his it's a fairly big hole. flat, early on friday morning, the it will be when we've finished. once, the only people who could access this building second is about steve bannon, and were civil servants, jeremy hunt is using it to try and sailors and spooks. but now the dusty old corridors are being restored to theirformer basically put some competition back glory as the secrets into competition. it looked as if of admiralty arch are revealed boris was dead cert to win, whereas at last — including, of course, now, jeremy hunt is trying to fight perhaps london's most splendid view. it, so he is trying to ask boris mark easton, bbc news, johnson to come out and address the admiralty arch. rumours, and expending is likely there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. what happened, and basically turn now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. into tory party members, saying it goodbye. is he fit to be a premise, if it is hea is he fit to be a premise, if it is he a trustworthy person. if he won't a nswer he a trustworthy person. if he won't answer his questions about his private life, how can he be a good good evening, i'm pro minister? but is not going to
10:34 pm
a nswer pro minister? but is not going to answer them? so our very unlikely. alice bhandhukravi. but also unlikely to have a impact on the result. if this had been a pretty hot and humid as well contest about michael gove and boris indicate humidity late in the week johnson, there would be a lot of but to go with it, the sunshine will talk about who would deliver the be back more widely. out there at brexit that would feel the most real the moment, with herfriends pushing up the moment, with herfriends pushing up the low pressure to the southwest of the uk, south easterly winds with to conservative party members. but it bringing in the humid air and turning the rain pushing into when it comes to borisjohnson, and northern england for the overnight period. heavy infantry eventually ajeremy hunt when it comes to borisjohnson, and a jeremy hunt contest, borisjohnson knows that he is any better pushing it a part of scotland and positioning on brexit, but he wasn't staying into northern ireland, with michael gove, and so, the best things turned dry across western thatjeremy england, from pair 12 yes into the with michael gove, and so, the best that jeremy hunt and helpful day but it will be a very humid with michael gove, and so, the best thatjeremy hunt and helpful —— hope for is a sort of character collapse, night, temperatures in the teens for a gaffe of some kind, but quite some, 17 or 18 celsius in the london area, but fresher across scotland frankly, borisjohnson a gaffe of some kind, but quite frankly, boris johnson could turn up thinks easterly breeze, which means oi'i frankly, boris johnson could turn up on the jeremy kyle show, and discuss the rain will be piling in across any altercation, and i don't think it would have a major effect on the aberdeen, and the area to structure your monday commute. back in cause a end result. which goes back to few flooding issues as a go to the something, when i was sitting in this main seat on friday evening, morning. the rain expected to sway when this story had first broke in, northwards through the day. it dry and the theory was put forward that
10:35 pm
start, sunshine at times they'll make you feel hot and sporadic people supporting borisjohnson have thunderstorms would develop your and their between parts of england in already factored in elements of his eastern scotland. temperatures widely for england into the 20s, personality which might be considered to be, colourful, and thatis considered to be, colourful, and —— mid to high teens. he is to that is why this might not make such a difference. yes, jeremy hunt is scotland, some potentially even trying to talk about other things worse thunderstorms in the channel as we go there monday night and into other than brexit. borisjohnson‘s tuesday. these will probably be the tea m other than brexit. borisjohnson‘s team has been very careful to keep him away from the media. to keep all greatest impact storms, very humid night to go in, especially for england and wales but there could be members on the idea that only... some flash flooding around and frequent lightning and hail as well. jeremy hunt is linked to remain. i ten point is quite different at the think a lot of conservative party stage, but most likely central and members don't mind about his eastern parts of england clearing go personal life, don't mind about his into the morning, may be affecting past history, scandalous comments on parts of eastern scotland and back gas, and as you say, they have to sunny spells across the south and factored it in, hunt is trying to some fairly hot and humid weather. get people to think, do you think in fact more humid day across parts borisjohnson is get people to think, do you think boris johnson is good get people to think, do you think borisjohnson is good for the long of scotla nd in fact more humid day across parts of scotland and northern ireland to ta ke of scotland and northern ireland to take us through tuesday. things term health of the conservative turned a little bit less humid as party after brexit, will he actually this area of high pressure starts to
10:36 pm
push its way in, but it up store for letjeremy corbyn into number ten by being very controversial and gaffe this, near record—breaking heat across parts of mainland europe and prone. they are polling -- shows we could see temperatures and its high of 31 degrees. the consistently, is tory members would put up with a lot if it means brexit. they say that they would put up brexit. they say that they would put up with scotland leaving the union, with wales living in the union, with northern ireland leaving, a return to violence in northern ireland, if it means brexit. compares to those very serious things, i think this very serious things, i think this very personal, but admittedly still small scale issue will be very much by the by. interesting. let's go to the telegraph. this is very much boris johnson's the telegraph. this is very much borisjohnson‘s domain, the telegraph. this is very much boris johnson's domain, because the telegraph. this is very much borisjohnson‘s domain, because he likes writes for it, and he is waiting for it in the morning. picking out snippets of what he is saying in his column... yes, it's this idea that, i won't bottle brexit. going back to this michael
10:37 pm
gove point. compared to michael gove, he might have been a weaker composition, michael gove major said, i composition, michael gove major said, lam composition, michael gove major said, i am the one that can deliver the type of brexit that is right for you. compared to the remain supporting and the remain voting jeremy corbyn, he is in a much better position. this line, i will deliver brexit again, is what you'll hear again. it's classic political strategy, have your line, stick to it, and hope that other minor derailments will be avoided. and to an extent, this is back to those words, eminently feasible, because he initially said yes, it will happen in the 31st absolutely, and then he talked about it being eminently feasible, some said that he is maybe bringing it back. this suggests that he is not. yes, he is still writing in his telegraph column, he has paid thousands of pounds a year for it, why would you not carry on paying for it. it is
10:38 pm
very well read by conservative party members. he won't really be drawn on detail, he won't talk about what might happen if he can't get through any form of agreement. every time, he will point out that the eu, he will not renegotiate, he just says, no, don't worry, they will. so as long as they keep pushing this idea, that regardless of details, and convince conservative party leaders that they can trust him, what happens with that remains to be seen, whether or not he will be forced towards a general election. but for the moment, all that boris' tea m but for the moment, all that boris' team is focused on is getting through to the membership, and capping getting him into number ten. i think this point about what happens then is key, because what borisjohnson appears happens then is key, because what boris johnson appears to be hoping to do is convince all the tory members that whatever they want from brexit, he shares their views, and
10:39 pm
that will be to add an individual level. it works when campaigning. when you have to deliver that, and you find that actually, what conservative members, but conservative members, but conservative supporters want from brexit varies hugely, and this idea that, oh, leave voters knew what they voted for, well, that may be true in some respects, but the polling shows there is a huge range of different options for what people want, and a lot of people want a ha rd want, and a lot of people want a hard brexit, and a lot of leave supporters don't want a hard brexit, and they want some form of customs union. so how do you marry up all those disparate views is a challenge that borisjohnson may find it is very far beyond his powers. and if he wins, you then imagine that first trip to brussels he will make as a prime minister, and what does he say, and how is he received, and what are they going to say, because there are so many unknowns? absolutely. stone one thing that is not unknown, one thing that is
10:40 pm
clear, is that if borisjohnson becomes leader, he is still leader ofa becomes leader, he is still leader of a minority government and has to rely on the dup. eu have said that they will not change, that may be sure and may not be true, but unless there is a general election, the parliamentary arithmetic set stays where it is, and that places him in a very difficult position. there are other important stories around, and i know that both of you have focused on what the independent is leading with tomorrow. dawn, this is an exclusive about the care quality commission have been looking at, to do with care homes and abuse. yes, since 2014, so, to 2018, the number of complaints to the care quality commission about care homes has doubled. so compared to 2014, the numberand doubled. so compared to 2014, the number and she went up by around about 80%. and that means that in
10:41 pm
the past four years, there have been a culture of a million complaints. so more and more people are complaining about the quality of ca re complaining about the quality of care that is being delivered in care homes. there is talk of unfurnished rumours about standish —— unfurnished rooms and standards of care. there's so much going on outside of brexit, but part of it is the fact that we have an ageing population, more and more people who need care, and at the same time, carers are not paid very much, and there is a huge amount of outsourcing, a huge amount of cost cutting, and there isn't enough kind of man power going in to make sure that care is a very good quality, and that people are actually looked after properly. what do you make of what is emerging here?|j after properly. what do you make of what is emerging here? i think it is worrying. a lot of this is based on the bbc panorama investigation, which has clearly had a very good
10:42 pm
effect and bringing these issues to light, but this is three years since we brexit referendum, and there have been many arguments about... but i think a more pressing issue in the longer term is why it is all of the government's band with being eased up government's band with being eased up on this subject, when really important long—term issues, but are notjust faced by important long—term issues, but are not just faced by britain, important long—term issues, but are notjust faced by britain, but important long—term issues, but are not just faced by britain, but faced by developed democracy day democracy across the world... whether it is the rise of artificial intelligence, all of these things, climate change, are key important long—term issues that need to be dealt with all they get worse. unfortunately in this country, our attention is elsewhere. i wonder if questions about areas of policy like this will be raised in this hustings. hopefully, but it feels at the moment that everything
10:43 pm
is focused on brexit, and that seems to be all thatjeremy hunt and burst onto to be all thatjeremy hunt and burst o nto wa nt to be all thatjeremy hunt and burst onto want to talk about, when you look around the country, there are so look around the country, there are so many problems, last time i came onto the papers we are talking about standards falling in falls, the nhs have seen a full in patient satisfaction, and if you look at life expectancy, that is beginning to fall. there are so many problems across the country that aren't being addressed and they won't be. across the country that aren't being addressed and they won't belj across the country that aren't being addressed and they won't be. i think we both do our best thing that we can hope for, as before the hustings, is some sort of statement of policy for both of the candidates, that can be for preferred too, that can be recorded and that can be referenced in future, could actually be a positive thing, even if they were to stick to it, which would be remarkable, at least having something to refer back to, which would be an improvement. joe, let me stay with you. on the front of the telegraph, it is only a small piece, but it refers to
10:44 pm
potentially a hugely significant story with reference to iran and the united states. so my guess committee situation in iran seems to be deteriorating. recently, we were ten minutes away from missiles being launched against iranian targets. there still seems to be some sort of ambiguity about why that didn't take place, but there is a report that a cyber attack was launched against the iranian weapon system, but donald trump has come out and said that the us would obliterate the iranians if... although he insisted that they were still not looking for a wall. it would be good to talk. you would hope so. that's apparently what they are saying now. his words seem confused, if you do want to talk, you should probably not start with saying that you will obliterate them. that does not seem like a good
10:45 pm
move forward. the problem is that trump has been all over the place. he was ten minutes away from actually moving forward with it. we can only hope that he does pull back a little bit, and there can be some diplomacy stepping in, but it seems that he has learned all of his presidential skills from spy novels rather than other presidents. he may be thinking that this is just any —— like any other deal of which this is the chief artist, and that he is going in hard and pulling back in the hope that they will flinch. i won't challenge you any further on that. let's end with a couple of minutes of sports news. dawn, what a great photograph for a start on the independent. it is great. the england's women's team through to the final eight. they are going up against norway, and the us, who are very, very good, but it was a very, very, very good, but it was a very, very rough match. also discrepancies about whether people had scored etc,
10:46 pm
lots of spitting, lots of stamping, but what is really important is that almost everybody behind them, lots of people who wouldn't normally bother with women's football have really got behind them, looked at them, not just as really got behind them, looked at them, notjust as the underdogs, but also people who have worked in incredibly hard and really deserve some form of victory, and it's an incredible photograph, there. yes, we have ellen white pictured here. it was a tough match. i think cameroon where one lucky not to score, although i do think that england definitely deserved the win. — — unlucky. england definitely deserved the win. —— unlucky. ithink england definitely deserved the win. —— unlucky. i think there were lapses of concentration from the england team, but against better teams, whether it is alex morgan from the us, i think players of that calibre could really hurt england, but, you can't complain. they have been getting better throughout the tournament, which is what you would hope for from a team. they are in the final eight. i think a match against norway is one that victory
10:47 pm
could be expected, and that leads to a semifinal against the us, which, if they get through, could be very interesting. andy murray, what a great photograph on the front of the telegraph? andy murrayjust reminds us telegraph? andy murrayjust reminds us of what i am lucky we are. i remember i'd been a tennis fan for as long as... i remember. but the error of tim henman and andy murray, we have been spilled in this country. we got to the second week moment, our sow early 90s, we were excited to be in the second week and now we are disappointed if we don't have someone in the semis. it's great that his back. he is a really fascinating sportsman, he has a great personality, and it's great to see him getting back. he looks very
10:48 pm
happy and he deserves it. that's it for the papers this hour. dawn and joe will be back at 11.30 for another look at the papers, and don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. coming up next, it is the weather. good evening. sunniest in scotland today. elsewhere, count increased, and over the next couple of days, those cards will take on a bit more ofa those cards will take on a bit more of a sinister appearance. there will be some torrential thunderstorms. pretty hot and humid, as well, and that heat humidity will build later in the week, but the sunshine will be back more widely. aren't there though, at the moment, these weather
10:49 pm
fronts pushing up. south—easterly winds, bringing in the humid air, and turning the rain is pushing into northern england, for the overnight period. eventually pushing into parts of scotland, and staying for some in northern ireland. things turned rare across parts of north—west england, compared to what we see tomorrow —— might we see today. a bit fresher across scotland, thanks to an easterly breeze, which means the rain will be piling in across aberdeenshire, angus and the grampian sisterjoe monday morning commute. that could cause a few flooding issues as we go through the morning. the rain spreads most with the ads we go through the day. sunshine at times, feeling warm, and then some sporadic thunderstorms will develop here and there, particularly across parts of england any eastern scotland. with a bit more cloud than we saw today. some thunderstorms to take us into
10:50 pm
monday night, and potentially some even worse thunderstorms working through the channel and into parts of england as we go through monday night and into tuesday. these will probably be the greatest impact dorms, very humid night to go with it, especially for england and wales, but some hail and frequent lightning, as well. thunderstorms looked most likely eastern... back to the story of some sunny spells across the south, and some fairly hot and across the south, and some fairly hotand humid across the south, and some fairly hot and humid weather. in fact, a more humid day across parts of scotla nd more humid day across parts of scotland and northern ireland, to ta ke scotland and northern ireland, to take us through tuesday. things are a little... as it sets up store for the end of the week, we want to tap into more record—breaking heat across parts of more mainland europe, and temperatures could get as high as 31 celsius. goodbye for now.
