friday in the west on saturday in the east. all this heat is coming from the sahara desert, which at this time of year sees temperatures in the mid 40s and you have to couple that with the fact the sun is as high in this as it gets in the northern hemisphere and that's why we're seeing these extreme temperatures. these records being broken with such warm air. it will affect some western areas during friday. we could be pushing towards 30 in the western highlands but not further east because the sun has to work its magic and get rid of the low cloud first of all using its energy, but then strong sunshine, at this time of year, no surprise, as high as it gets, the sun in the sky, so high as it gets, the sun in the sky, so very strong and given we've got that brisk in the south and gusty wind, not as strong as thursday but masking the effect of the sun, feeling fresher than you'd expect, those temperatures, so be aware. a contrast from the east coast of scotla nd contrast from the east coast of scotland through the west, 15 —— 16, to the high 20s in the highlands
11:31 pm
because of the low cloud and onshore breeze, which temperatures to retreat a bit on friday. instead, more cloud from the west so after the intense heat, change is afoot. as we get more cloud in the west, we increase the humidity, so feeling more uncomfortable for sleeping. the peak of the heat in the uk comes on saturday, where we will see that intense red pushing or nudging across the channel into the south—east of england, we could see 34. by the same time, we are already breaking down that heat further west with showers, even thunderstorms as well, so quite a contrast in temperature here after the high 20s on friday. looking at the low 20s for most here. instead, we start to pick up the temperatures further east. quite a lot warmer here, particularly across eastern england compared to friday, some parts could push towards 33 or 34. turned the ta bles push towards 33 or 34. turned the tables on where we have the heat by saturday and by sunday it is gone.
11:32 pm
we have this cold weather front, by its nature introducing cooler air, coming in from the atlantic, westerly winds and showers. looking u nsettled, westerly winds and showers. looking unsettled, not a washout, except for the north—west of scotland, where we could see shower after shower and there's the fresh westerly breeze, if you don't like the heat, bear with us, a temporary spell of hot, sultry temperatures. the reason is low pressure and that's with us to stay for the start of the new week. we pick up a north—westerly breeze if anything, feeling fresher on monday. temperatures lower, showers on the north—westerly breeze. north and west scotland, the north of northern ireland, down through the cheshire gap and filtering through the midlands, those are the likely areas for showers with more cloud around, temperatures down a degree 01’ around, temperatures down a degree or two. mid week, another change. high pressure starts to build in and settle things down, quite weather.

no or extremes but it off the showers for a time and then it looks more settled for the north and west and showers in the south. a mixed bag as we start wimbledon next week stop as ever, there's more on the website. —— a mixed bag as we start wimbledon next week. as ever, there's more on the website.
11:34 pm
hello, this is bbc news, with martine croxall. we will be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment, with torcuil crichton and claire cohen. first the headlines: boris johnson and jeremy hunt face party members on the south coast in hustings to be the next tory leader and prime minister, with attention on their policies and approach to brexit. we have gone a long way now by going out and asking brussels for this or that, and then being rebuffed, and feeling that we've got nowhere else to go. and i think it's time for a slight change in our approach. and we've had a lot of discussion in these brexit debates about how, but not enough discussion about who. who is the prime minister we trust to go
11:35 pm
to brussels and sort this out? vauxhall warns it will only build the next—generation astra in cheshire if the brexit deal is satisfactory. more than 100 labour mps and peers call onjeremy corbyn to overturn the decision to allow his ally chris williamson back into the party, following anti—semitism allegations. commentator: here's lucy bronze. what a goal, what a goal! and a roar from the lionesses. the sensational goal that has sealed england's place in the semi—finals of the world cup. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are torcuil crichton, westminster editor for the daily record, and claire cohen, women's editor at the telegraph. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in, and most reflect england's quarter—final victory at the women's world cup this evening.
11:36 pm
the guardian says brussels has given a warning that what it describes as boris johnson's familiar use of false promises, pseudo—patriotism and foreigner—bashing to win the keys to downing street is locking britain into a no—deal brexit. according to the the i, the scottish conservative leader, ruth davidson, is saying borisjohnson‘s brexit plan may destroy the union. meanwhile, the times says boris johnson is preparing an emergency budget for a no—deal brexit, including aggressive tax cuts, an overhaul of stamp duty and an assault on regulation, if he becomes prime minister. it also claims that mrjohnson would have as his chancellor the current home secretary and former leadership hopeful sajid javid. away from the conservatives' leadership contest, the daily mail claims the bbc covered up a crude comment from boris johnson about the french. according to the daily telegraph, police forces have quietly introduced policies to let users of class a drugs, including heroin, escape prosecution.
11:37 pm
the daily mirror reports that baby archie is tojoin his mum and dad in south africa this autumn, becoming the youngest ever touring royal. that story is reflected on the front page of the daily express, who lead about comments from a police chief who says youth violence is on the rise because children are growing up with the same mental trauma as soldiers in some warzones. and the sun do their own take on a possible cure for baldness, using stem cells, for those who think that baldness is something to be cured. i have no comment to make either way. let's look at the times. there's not muchjeremy hunt on these front pages. let's start with these front pages. let's start with the first coverage of a boris johnson policy. good news for sajid javid, not only the front page of the sun but also the front page of
11:38 pm
the sun but also the front page of the times. where stamp duty will be slashed, according to borisjohnson. according to the times' new hot signing, boris johnson has according to the times' new hot signing, borisjohnson has offered sajid javid thejob signing, borisjohnson has offered sajid javid the job of chancellor. he will take a lot of sajid javid's ideas and a lot of dominic raab's ideas, he will spend money to raise the national insurance threshold, raise stamp duty on homes, what george osborne did in opposition in 2007 when he stopped gordon brown having an election, he went into the conference and said we were abolishing inheritance tax and stamp duty, that put the frighteners on europe and put the rocket boosters under tory support at the time, and thatis under tory support at the time, and that is what boris is saying he will do as well. it will push a lot of remainers like sajid javid into
11:39 pm
putting their lot in with boris johnson. they know they will be a general election after that and they need someone to win it and they think that boris johnson need someone to win it and they think that borisjohnson is the guy. and does this front—page mention jeremy hunt at all? he has sort of been left behind as far as this frontpage is concerned. he is attempting to set himself up as the candidate of business this week. he announced today he would wipe out student debt for any would—be entrepreneurs who set up a business and employ ten people for five years. not a single mention in this story at all. instead it is all boris's proposed spending spree. there is an interesting phrase in the second paragraph that his team wa nt the second paragraph that his team want to ensure the economy is going gangbusters by 31 october.” want to ensure the economy is going gangbusters by 31 october. i have never heard of that before, have you? it sounds like fighting talk, doesn't it? jeremy hunt is narrowing the gap, the gap is closing, but he has not overtaken him yet. this
11:40 pm
debate is coming up, the live debate where they actually go head to head tonight in front of the tories in bournemouth, but it was like the boris show, not the jeremy show. they need a kind of double act to truly live in this up. clearly that is the proposed spending gap, the projected spend four boris's campaign was about half ofjeremy hunt's, but that gap could definitely be closing. and that is not just a brexit definitely be closing. and that is notjust a brexit budget definitely be closing. and that is not just a brexit budget they are planning, that is an election budget they are planning as well. in the guardian, johnson's false promises locking the uk into no deal, this is the european parliament brexit co—ordinator. he has some pretty strong things to say about boris johnson's approach. he has, to pick one quote, he calls him a man who
11:41 pm
has continued to dissemble and misinform. far stronger than what was said in the commons this week and last week. he says he has learned nothing whatsoever from the past learned nothing whatsoever from the pa st two learned nothing whatsoever from the past two years, so really strong words. but i don't know if his view is representative, i think the mood is representative, i think the mood is changing a little bit in the eu. we have a trade war between the us and china, and i think there is definitely some feeling, if not from him, that perhaps britain might be a valuable ally post brexit.|j him, that perhaps britain might be a valuable ally post brexit. i think this is part of reality, i think johnson will allow no deal. there is 100 days between now and 31 october, only 20 odd of those are sitting days for parliament, so how do you get the legislation through, or even a vote of confidence in boris johnson, if he wins, orjeremy hunt, whoever wins. so we will go beyond 31 october and we will be back into
11:42 pm
budget land and big promises to beat labour and nigel farage, budget land and big promises to beat labourand nigel farage, of budget land and big promises to beat labour and nigel farage, of course, the brexit party, in that election. talk to us about ruth davidson's concerns in the i, that the uk could break up underjohnson. davidson is worried the scottish leader of the conservatives has made a lot of headway for the tories in scotland by defending the union, they feel the union is under threat by a boris johnson prime ministership. the snp and nicola sturgeon say the very existence of borisjohnson is enough to trigger a second referendum, borisjohnson as prime minister, i should say, not just borisjohnson as prime minister, i should say, notjust the existence of borisjohnson, should say, notjust the existence of boris johnson, would should say, notjust the existence of borisjohnson, would be enough to trigger a second independence referendum. they feel he is catalytic for independence and would block the union. gordon brown has been saying much the same thing, an editorial in the economist, today or tomorrow, saying much the same thing. and ruth was in london this
11:43 pm
week giving a talk to a business audience, it was chatham house rules, but i think she aired her worries about the union if boris johnson gets in, and i think on a newsnight interview tonight, she talks about the butterfly effect. you have no deal brexit, who knows what will happen? and this is a fellow conservative saying this. what will happen? and this is a fellow conservative saying thism is. she said it is not brexit, do—or—die raid, it is the union, do—or—die raid, it is the union, do—or—die raid, it is the union, do—or—die raid, this week. but appalled at the weekend showed 53% of scots would act independence if borisjohnson got in. so she perhaps has the wind behind her. boris johnson for his part is still saying they have a good relationship, of course. the majority of tory msps in the scottish parliament, scottish tory mps have 50—50... not 50—50,
11:44 pm
evenif tory mps have 50—50... not 50—50, even if you remainers are backing boris because they see him as the election winner. we have to call him borisjohnson. election winner. we have to call him boris johnson. of course, mr johnson. the telegraph, corbyn urged to act against anti—semitism. this is with the... chris williamson. chris williamson being brought into the party having been suspended in february. you would think if an election is looming and labour going for re— election, you would think the opposition would be ready, but here they are splitting themselves asunder again on anti—semitism by allowing chris williams back in after just a allowing chris williams back in afterjust a short allowing chris williams back in after just a short suspension. allowing chris williams back in afterjust a short suspension. it seemed last year there was that much in parliament square ofjewish organisations calling on labour to tackle anti—semitism, and we had all these kind of warm words from corbyn ever since, but here are the deeds.
11:45 pm
somebody who issued an anti—semitic trope getting back in, 100 labour mps and peers and 60 staff have called for him to be suspended. there are about 300 who haven't, presumably. and let's not forget they didn't really want to suspend him in the first place, they initially said there would be a notice of enquiry, and it was issued, and it was really only after pressure from tom watson and various others that the suspension was handed down in the first place. and it was in the same week, of course, that labour had all those defections to what is now change uk. tom watson is the first name on that letter, but labour split on anti—semitism, split on brexit, they don't know whether they are a leave or remain party, there is pressure to get borisjohnson to party, there is pressure to get boris johnson to change his party, there is pressure to get borisjohnson to change his mind, because unite haven't done it, len mccluskey hasn't done it, and the other ones should be going gangbusters to beat the tories. it
11:46 pm
is all there for them. there needs to bea is all there for them. there needs to be a stronger response, though, than just to be a stronger response, though, thanjust a to be a stronger response, though, than just a letter. to be a stronger response, though, thanjust a letter. only to be a stronger response, though, than just a letter. only a couple of yea rs than just a letter. only a couple of years ago it was 40 odd labour mps and labour wrote a letter tojeremy corbyn demanding that he sought out his supporters when it came to sexism and rape threats. where are they going to go? are they going to go to change? are they going to end up go to change? are they going to end up in the wilderness? if you admit to voting lib dem, you get booted out of labour but if you make an anti—semitic comment you are allowed backin anti—semitic comment you are allowed back in within a few months. let's stay with the telegraph. the uk will fail to hit recycling targets, in 2020. which is pretty astonishing, really. it is the result of a telegraph investigation we did earlier in the week. i feel like we all do our bit at home these days. does any of us live in a household where there are not cross looks shot across the dinner table if you haven't take taken the bottle of the milk, or if you haven't ripped off
11:47 pm
the window in the plastic, but the recycling industry, and business isn't doing its part here. ifeel like there are too many business owners who are sort of sanctioning the paper carry bag instead of plastic, or are putting the recycling mark on their packaging, and actually sitting back and thinking we have done the job, and actually sitting back and thinking we have done thejob, when in fact clearly it is not happening. we are not meeting our targets, and huge amounts of plastic are still going into landfill. plastic can only be recycled a number of times, thatis only be recycled a number of times, that is the point. so it is going to end up in the environment in the end. being shipped abroad, as well. two and there is consumer scepticism about that one goes in the green bin, the black men, where does it all end up? people are confused and sceptical about the recycling industry, and the bbc this week has put the spotlight on what happens to our plastic. and we talk about postcode lotteries, and every council has different bits and bobs
11:48 pm
that you can and can't recycle, and people get confused. of course they do. i think there needs to be a coherent strategy, business needs to do its part. and less packaging used in the first place. 3—0 against norway in the world cup for england. three brilliant goals, from bronze, jill scott and ellen white, jill scott with the fastest goal scored in the world cup so far. there was talk before the match that england haven't hit their stride yet and what a time to peak, no doubt! semi—final on tuesday against either france or the us. we've been in the semifinals before and haven't advanced to the final. we were one of the favourites going in and we are absolutely still the favourites. we should be looking at the back pages as well as the front pages, in
11:49 pm
the later additions the lionesses should be all over it! good on them, great form. norway seemed to fade in that match and england stormed through! the publicity for this particular tournament is so much greater, isn't it? and the coverage. this is the eighth women's world cup, people will be surprised! i was at the women's world cup in sweden once, i was in sweden when it was on. there was so little awareness. it is so easy for that to happen, in sweden by accident! it happens to me all the time! your husband went out with a friend to watch the football. he met his mate in the pub to watch the england match, he said didn't say the women's world cup, he said i'm going to watch england at the pub. made you tearful? as the england manager we've been covering the team for a while, in the euros when they lost in the
11:50 pm
semifinals. there was real momentum then. this now, with the publicity it has had and the televising of the matches and david beckham in the audience with his daughter cheering them on, nodding and looking impressed with the goals. hundreds of young girls getting really positive messages about the sport and taking part. absolutely. we will end with the independent, glastonbury gets under way with a wonderful, colourful photograph of festival—goers. and in the incredible heat, it is not due to rain, which would be a massive improvement, but you are a big fan of glastonbury, aren't you?” improvement, but you are a big fan of glastonbury, aren't you? i have been there three times, i was there in 2010, which was the hottest on record until this weekend. there we re record until this weekend. there were people crouching behind wheelie bins defined a slither of shade, it was very hot. i'm very bitter i'm
11:51 pm
not there this weekend. if kylie is watching and wants to send a helicopter to pick me up, i will find time in my schedule! does it appeal to you? find time in my schedule! does it appealto you? i have never find time in my schedule! does it appeal to you? i have never been to glastonbury, i am going to love supreme on the south coast, a bit more bijou, you can walk to the bar and get to the bar and see the stage. where is the fun in that? you don't have to walk a mile anywhere. what a hot weekend, mid 40s in europe, high 30s in the highlands of scotland! that is remarkable in itself. and no single—use plastic at the glastonbury festival this year. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it mis all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, torcuil and claire. goodbye.
11:52 pm
good evening, i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes with your latest sports news. and there were celebrations for the thousands of england fans in northern france tonight, after england beat norway to reach the semi—finals of the world cup. it was a comfortable victory as well, 3—0 the final score. katie gornall reports from le havre. just across the channel, a home not farfrom home. this is england's second world cup game in le havre, but this one brings the nerves of a knockout. some of those nerves were settled afterjust two minutes. ellen white usually finishes these in her sleep. now england hit top gear.
11:53 pm
this was a display of brilliant efficiency, engineered by nikita parris and finished by white. this her fifth goal of the tournament. for those watching at glastonbury, the scoreline was music to their ears. this was meant to be england's biggest test at the tournament and they were passing with flying colours. lucy lu cy bro nze lucy bronze showing why her manager calls her the world's best. hands up if you enjoyed that one? england weren't perfect but when norway threatened, steph houghton was there an england's captain was having an impact at both ends, winning a penalty but there was no final flourish. it didn't matter. commentator: and england are through to the semi—final. still a statement performance from england. yet again they're through to the semifinals and looking more together than ever. we expected nothing else really, and that's not being arrogant, that's the level of performance we've been showing. played five, won five, four
11:54 pm
clea n showing. played five, won five, four clean sheets. where having the time of our lives, we keep saying it, people ask if we are lying, i keep saying it, look at the spirit of the team. edge should have been four or five but steph‘s clearance off the line was great and we're just where we wa nt line was great and we're just where we want to be —— it should have been. at the cricket world cup, india thrashed west indies by 125 runs to end their slim chances of qualifying for the semi—finals. india captain virat kohli was man of the match at old trafford, hitting 72 runs as his side reached a modest total of 268/7, but on a deteriorating pitch, west indies were then taken apart by the indian bowlers and were all out for 143. india remain unbeaten in the tournament and will play england next on sunday who are struggling to make the semi—finals. and staying with cricket, because after 27 seasons at somerset, the former england batsmen marcus trescothick has announced he's retiring at the end of this campaign. the 43—year—old played 76 tests for england, scoring almost 6,000 runs at an average ofjust under 44.
11:55 pm
trescothick was also part of the england side that memorably won the ashes in 2005. british number one kyle edmund is into the semi—finals of eastbourne, but he had to fight back from a set down to beat in—form compatriot dan evans, who dominated the first set, breaking the edmund serve twice to go on to take it 6—1 in a little over half an hour. but edmund dug deep to win the second 6—3 and then the third 6—4, giving himself a confidence boost ahead of wimbledon. he'll play the american taylor fritz tomorrow. in the women's draw, reigning wimbledon champion angelique kerber is through to the semi—finals after beating simona halep in straight sets. she'll next face ons jabeurn tomorrow, the tunisian who knocked out britain'sjo konta. and one other tennis line for you, that's britain's liam broady won't be featuring in the main draw at wimbledon. the 3—time wimbledon
11:56 pm
qualifier has been knocked out of qualifying in the final round, just one win away from the main tournament. broady was two sets up against frenchman greg berrere but lost the next three. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. hello there. thursday was a lovely day across the country, a real summer's day with lots of strong sunshine, high temperatures across northern and western scotland, northern ireland and wales, the warmest day of the year so far. todayis warmest day of the year so far. today is similar, dry and sunny and very warm in western areas today is similar, dry and sunny and very warm in western areas because we draw up the hot airfrom very warm in western areas because we draw up the hot air from france and more western portions of the uk. still across these, around this high—pressure, more cloud with cooler, fresher air. the early cloud will burn back from the coast and much of the country will be bathed

11:58 pm
northern ireland and irish seacoast. the eastern half of england will tap into the hot air from france, the eastern half of england will tap into the hot airfrom france, those values will be soaring into the afternoon, into the low 30s, we could see 32 or 34 in london and humidity will be high so being unbearable. it is short—lived, this cold front spreads east during saturday night and into sunday and then wear into much fresher, slightly cooler westerly wind from the atlantic. lots of sunshine around on sunday, lots of showers around on sunday, lots of showers around in the north—west, some heavy. across the south—east, we're looking at at least a 10 degrees drop from saturday with values around 23 or 24 and the high teens further north. that's how it's looking.
