10:40 pm
of luxembourg in the second leg of their tie in the preliminary rounds of the europe league. they took the lead on aggreagate with this penalty, but their dreams were dashed when the away side scored a very well taken goal to win it on aggregate. 2-1, 2—1, then, the aggregate score there. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, it's the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are assistant political editor of the mirror,
10:41 pm
ben glaze, and economics and trade correspondent for the telegraph, anna isaac. welcome to you both. tomorrow's front pages have a variety of top stories on them. let's give you a flavour. we can start with eft. they lead on the news that royal maines seized a tanker off gibraltar, suspected to be smuggling iranian oil to syria in a night—time raid that has triggered a diplomatic row between tehran and london. the metro reports evidence from the london bridge inquests, as a police officer reveals how he shoot all three of the attackers. the tory leadership contest leads tomorrow's daily telegraph — with a photo of borisjohnson arriving at an event for party members in york earlier this evening. in an interview with the paper, mrjohnson says it's time for opponents of brexit to stop seeing it as "a plague of boils" and instead embrace the "fantastic" oppor—tunities it brings
10:42 pm
and instead embrace the "fantastic" opportunities it brings for britain's future. the brexit secretary — stephen barclay — tells the daily express that the government will be ready even if there is a no—deal brexit. the daily mail has images of a £i.5 million cannabis farm that criminals set up in a former police station. nearly 700 schools have been referred to the health and safety executive about concerns they are failing to safely manage the risks associated with asbestos in their buildings, according to the guardian. and five former heads of the metropolitan police have written to the times warning that resources have been drained to "dangerously low levels" as the public loses faith in the force. as you can see, a real medley of stories gracing the front pages for tomorrow. anna, a common theme across a couple. if we start with the i, across a couple. if we start with thei, uk across a couple. if we start with the i, uk and iran standoff over
10:43 pm
seas oil tanker. event this picture of royal marines in action. it is a much bigger ship... tankers, much bigger than the speed but we have in front of the i here. qam, off of the rock, the gibraltar and rock —— 2am. a network of different different medic interest here. the destination we think is syria for that oil to be refined, which goes against sanctions against syria, but underlying this we have the iranian nuclear deal which the us has abandoned last year but the eu is trying to mitigate the effect of. iran is saying, can we not work some thing out in this? iran is saying,
10:44 pm
hang on, teran saying, hang on, you are not could you take the us‘s line on sanctions. and then you have this spanish foreign minister saying, it was the us who told the uk to stop that ship. and then you got the spanish interests in gibraltar going on as well. it's a real diplomatic sort of explosion, is intense, been -- is it sort of explosion, is intense, been —— is it not, then? sort of explosion, is intense, been -- is it not, then? and then you had done micro the supertanker is fast. the geopolitical machinations at play, whether or not we were acting oi'i play, whether or not we were acting on behalf of the united states to e nforce on behalf of the united states to enforce sanctions against iran but which we would not do supposedly, and we were trying to cripple the
10:45 pm
syrian regime as well. the ft have got the same story. it is all about this tension, ultimately, between the us approach to iran and what is happening more widely within the eu and britain. it also speaks a little bit to brexit and how our foreign policy and trade policy, and the sanctions policy that often goes hand in glove with the trades policy, is going to work. are we going to take more of the us line? i would try to build up that atlantic partnership, or are we trying to walk the different eu line on sanctions which often focuses on individuals at the head of regimes rather than taking the whole country approach, which tends to be the us approach, which tends to be the us approach to sanctions, as we have seenin approach to sanctions, as we have seen in venezuela? it is going to get harder as it escalates. touch
10:46 pm
away in the ft article is the fact iran has threatened to increase its activity if the uk did not take actions to lower sanctions... the worry is they could move towards making a nuclear weapon. the experts say they could go on and build that weapon. we have actually fallen out with washington over its approach to the iran nuclear deal. donald trump took america out of it last year. we have tried to carry on make it work. there is a tension there between us and the white house. we often get accused of being in america's pocketful this is one where, behind the scenes come we have structured donald trump. they have not minded
10:47 pm
to help us out on one. they do not recognise the uk sovereignty adult with the rock of gibraltar and the waters that surrounded, so there is a real double hand here. they are effectively implying the uk... it is pretty significant. interesting to see how this plays out in the word tipple medic row could be a slight understatement —— and the word diplomatic row. this is all about fixed odd adding terminals. william hill is one of the first big companies, but others may follow, to say they are closing kevin hundred bedding shots. —— to close 700 bedding shots. —— to close 700 bedding shops. they are cutting the sta kes bedding shops. they are cutting the stakes on fixed odd betting
10:48 pm
terminals, the crack cocaine of bedding as critics call them. there are big rose as this is going to... the government took a different view. it was worth cutting the stakes. despite the warnings from the betting companies, it should be put in mind that a lot of betting does not take place in traditional stores. you cannot watch a fixture without being enticed to go online, that on who is going to be next goal—scorer. i don't know that it is going to be as simple as william hill play out. the government is saying, it is all well and good for william ho to blame the government's policy but we have given them a real run of notice to alter their steps.
10:49 pm
it is part of a bigger problem with the dynamics of dabbling. we have seen the dynamics of dabbling. we have seenin the dynamics of dabbling. we have seen in recent days, having to set up seen in recent days, having to set up specifically to deal with young people who have dabbling addictions, that are gathering at a really frightening pace because of the nature of addictive online gaming, so nature of addictive online gaming, so this is going to run in different ways in terms of how government policy can involve in this area to keep up... i think you are right. the whole issue of regulation is going to go through the whole of that industry. take us onto the daily telegraph. unsurprisingly, they are coming out engine being borisjohnson. this they are coming out engine being boris johnson. this is they are coming out engine being borisjohnson. this is the greatest place on earth, he is going to tell us place on earth, he is going to tell us tomorrow. classic boris johnson, going full throttle to try and present this. it doesn't all have to be gloomy! come on, guys! having this attitude brexit, it is a boil problem, so he is trying to salute asa problem, so he is trying to salute as a get behind brexit, trying make this sort of project optimism. this
10:50 pm
is narrative, the big push. the ballad papers around. people will be casting their votes right now. we are going to see ripping up a few gears the tory leadership contest. although actually, in theory, we've got over a week ago, this is crunch time. just remind us why. the ballot papers in our —— are “ are now —— are now arriving. they will decide our next prime minister. i was shocked the telegraph has come out, it's a star columnist... anna is right. this is boris. this is the blustar we associate with boris. let's have some optimism. there was no detail in here about how he is actually going to get a brexiteer through the commons. he is likely to fail in the same way theresa may
10:51 pm
failed —— how he is going to get a brexit deal through the comments. boris is not robotic or dull. there is no doubt about that. but you cannotjust rely is no doubt about that. but you cannot just rely on a force of personality, and bluster and optimism, to get us out of this. it is not good enough. interesting, this is pitched on boris banking on votes. there is a bit of worry around boris's camp that, seeing he's got it so far in the bag already that some people might not rememberto vote, or already that some people might not remember to vote, or might think they don't need to. and the fact that boris has not taken part in any life had you had tv debates, that i think the mirror chicken has been highlighting, they have not done withjeremy highlighting, they have not done with jeremy hunt. their highlighting, they have not done withjeremy hunt. their man has been
10:52 pm
putting himself out there, to highlight himself from boris johnson. many tory member don —— members will vote when they get the ballot paper. they will member boris of the men who delivered brexit. and then boris will take pa rt brexit. and then boris will take part in the live tv debates literally when the ballots are cast. i'm going to let you take us down to the corner of the daily telegraph a smaller story. doesn't have a sexy headline. i know this is something you will say we need to get excited about this! we do need to get excited about this. it might sound like digital tax, it doesn't sound like digital tax, it doesn't sound like the sexiest thing in the world, however, what he's talking about — the likes of facebook, the likes of google — big silicon valley companies finding the tax regime in the uk getting more uncomfortable for them. this is a big issue for
10:53 pm
those negotiating the early stages of the us trade deal, on the us side. they are not happy about this. he wanted everyone to hold fire, to wait for the oecd, this big economic collaboration between countries, to work out a global approach to taxing these digital giants. if the uk decides to sort of press ahead and go it alone with that, the federation of british industry, big business lobbying group, are going to say, you're making this a lot less attractive at the time we are going to need throwing open our doors to sort of international commerce. this story is going to run and run and run. it is going to be big... and rather donald trump decides to take his bat and ball home in negotiations. we can watch that and say, anna told us why that was so that and say, anna told us why that was so important stories to get tucked away... with the context of an expert, it all becomes clear and far more significant. we are going
10:54 pm
to finish with the metro. this is all about the london bridge terrorism incidents inquest, it and hero cop's story revealed. we are in the second batch of the inquest now. victims enjoying a night out in the borough market. this is the second stage with how the terrorists met their death. by law, there has to be ajury their death. by law, there has to be a jury inquest. vertex can be returned. one fascinating aspect, which has emerged in the evidence today, is one of the three police office rs today, is one of the three police officers on duty — they get anonymity is welcome offers giving evidence —— officers giving evidence. he was drawing his weapon in anger. he gets there within minutes of the first 999 call with service colleagues and he draws his weapon for the first time in anger.
10:55 pm
the last time he took his weapon out, it would have been in a shooting range, and training, and one can only imagine what he must've felt. these terrorists, having rigged these devices for their destruction, and he fired into three terrorists and ultimately save lives. this is a really powerful headline here. shot by rookie. as ben was saying, anna, you forget these guys have to have a first day on thejob. these guys have to have a first day on the job. they have to have a first day on the job. the emotional and takes on even a highly experienced firearms officer is huge. we have to remember the level of anguish these people put themselves through for public safety. people took extraordinary measures to preserve human life on the night, and we all be sleazy and
10:56 pm
now with the police, in terms of getting their accounts of what they faced that day. and as you say, obviously anonymity for their own protection, but clearly some very brave officers behind that story. that's it for the papers this hour. ben and anna will be back at 11.30pm 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. it's all there for you — seven days a week — bbc.co.uk/papers. if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. so, all that remains is for me to say thank you to ben glaze and anna isaac. bye for now. good evening. it was another day of north—south contrast. across southern areas, blue skies overhead and a bit of warmth from that sunshine. encouraged folk onto the beach here in cornwall, whereas it was grey skies, rain and the cool breeze to the north which kept folk away at fraserburgh, aberdeenshire.
10:57 pm
still lots of cloud across northern scotland tonight, but a few gaps in that to the east, the rain in the north and west will gradually ease for a time, northwesterly breeze but a bit more cloud to northern ireland and northern england compared to recent nights. and a bit of high cloud in the skies above the central southern england and wales, it all adds up to things not being quite as chilly as recent nights. temperatures for most around ten to 15 celsius as we start your friday morning commute. another sunny one for many across southern areas, although sunshine a bit hazier than it has been of late. bit more cloud for northern england and northern ireland, but there will be some breaks to the east of high ground with the chance of one or two showers drifting through, same to southern scotland. always a bit more rain in parts of the north, but even that will be on the move. clearest conditions of course will remain across southern areas, blue skies overhead once again, temperatures widely into the mid—20s. 28 degrees, 82 fahrenheit, possible towards the southeast corner, bit more cloud in north wales and northern england and northern ireland compared to what we have seen, but sunshine in the high ground which will lift the temperatures,
10:58 pm
especially that north or northwest breeze. still that breeze learned across scotland maybe not as prominent, rain in the highlands, but parts of scotland feeling a touch warmer and a bit of sunshine to end the day across the northwest highlands and the hebrides. those clearer conditions will be working their way southwards through friday night into saturday behind this weather front. this will continue to produce a few showers here and there is it works its way into england and wales and will cause temperatures to drop across southern areas as we go through saturday too. so here's our weather front, mainly the focus, left it on there just so we can see the rough area where you can expect some areas of rain or drizzle working their way towards the south. it could be the first spots of rain we see in wimbledon but it's a fine thing, may stay dry here. cloud increased across the morning after that sunshine, maybe some warmth towards the southernmost counties, but temperatures have dropped. north of it, though, some sunny spells to the afternoon, many will be dry, cool east coast, a bit more pleasant in the west. after a cool night, temperatures down in the single figures to start sunday, the remnants of our weather front, this time stretching from the english channel out to the west of northern ireland with a few showers in that.
10:59 pm
cloud will build up elsewhere, few showers just about possible, though most will be dry and pleasant where you get the sunshine.
11:00 pm
this is bbc news. i'm rachel schofield. the headlines at 11pm: iran summons the british ambassador over what it calls the "illegal seizure" of an iranian oil tanker off gibraltar. the bookmaker william hill blames new restrictions on fixed odds betting for its plans to close hundreds of shops, but critics say problem gambling had to be tackled. a lot of these people, mainly women, in areas where there isn't much unemployment, have been working very loyally for william hill for many yea rs stop loyally for william hill for many years stop if the industry, as well as government, were aware of these consequences for the industry between the two of them, they should have met to address the consequences. an armed officer tells an inquest of the danger he faced
