11:30 pm
-- bbc news. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers: assistant political editor of the mirror, ben glaze, and economics and trade correspondent for the telegraph, anna isaac. that's coming up after the headlines at 11:30pm. now it's time for the weather with matt taylor. we are stuck in a little bit of a weather no man's land through the next week or so. no real sign of high pressure or low pressure wanting to dominate, and that's the case as we go into friday. thursday's area of high pressure pushes south and west a bit, allowing low pressure in iceland to exert more influence, pushing the cloud further south. a north—south split on friday, rain across the highlands and islands, some patchy rain in scotland, northern ireland and northern england but most staying dry and further south, blue skies dominating, even if there is a bit more cloud. temperature speaking at 27 or28, bit more cloud. temperature speaking at 27 or 28, 80 two fahrenheit, but
11:31 pm
further north, the mid—teens, especially exposed to that north—west wind, which is more dominant into friday evening and it could be nice in the north of scotla nd could be nice in the north of scotland compared with the last few days. the cloud is pushing further south, bringing this weather front. this cold front will sweep away some of the heat in their southern counties. lovely to start saturday but this weather front across the north wales and north midlands to begin with, and as it pushes to southern counties, some showers and a fuse but sovereign at wimbledon. warm in southern counties but temperatures dropping elsewhere, cool down that east coast but the northern half of the uk should be brighter —— a few spots of showers at wimbledon. the high pressure will try to dominate but not strong enough to kill off the showers completely. the remnants of our weather front in northern completely. the remnants of our weatherfront in northern ireland down to the english channel, some
11:32 pm
showers there and may be some elsewhere, after a bright start, the cloud builds with some showers but most cloud builds with some showers but m ost pla ces cloud builds with some showers but most places will be dry. temperatures in the high teens and low 20s to the southend west. high pressure more dominant into monday —— south and west. a bright and fresh start with temperatures in single figures. like earlier this week, the cloud builds up, spreads out and the afternoon not as sunny as the morning. later, may be rain in northern ireland and western scotland. temperatures much like sunday's, but light winds, pleasant with strong sunshine overhead. sunshine doesn't hold on in the north into tuesday. another area of low pressure trying to push in, bringing more cloud after a bright start in scotland and northern ireland and the greater chance of rain. cloud in over in western areas, the best of the sunshine in the south and east, where we could get mid—20s on tuesday afternoon and mid—teens further north. uncertainty
11:33 pm
about the rain, north or south, because again, no real dominance in weather patterns through the week. high pressure to begin with and low pressure attacking from the atlantic but we are stuck in between. with nothing to the atmosphere, there's the chance of some showers, may be heavy ones, through the week ahead but a lot of dry weather and when the sunshine is out, with winds largely light, still feeling pleasa ntly largely light, still feeling pleasantly warm. next week things will warm up substantially across the likes of spain and france, not like recent levels, though. but with things warming up here and then to the end of the weekend, high pressure to the west and the east, we could tap in to that —— low pressure to the west. after that low pressure to the west. after that low pressure to the west. after that low pressure to the west could dominate. goodbye. hello. this is bbc news with rachel schofield. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment, first the headlines.
11:34 pm
panama's maritime authority says the iranian oil tanker seized by the royal marines off gibralter was de—listed from the international boat registry at the end of may after it was linked to terrorism financing. 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. an armed officer tells an inquest of the danger he faced when he killed the ringleader of the london bridge attack. a bbc investigation reveals china's xinjiang province is deliberately separating muslim children from their families as parents reveal they don't know whey they are. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are deputy political editor
11:35 pm
of the mirror, ben glaze, and economics and trade correspondent for the telegraph, anna isaac. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. we pages are already in. can rifle through them and gi you we can rifle through them and give you a flavour. the financial times leads 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 for britain's future. the brexit secretary, stephen barclay, tells the daily express that the government will be ready
11:36 pm
even if there is a no—deal brexit. the daily mail has images of a £1.5 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. lots for us to get our teeth into. no—one main story dominating, but let's start with the i, because a couple of the papers are looking closely at events in gibraltar and the coast around it because the uk
11:37 pm
uk and iran are in a stand—off over a seized oil tanker. uk and iran are in a stand—off over a seized oiltanker. high uk and iran are in a stand—off over a seized oil tanker. high drama on the high seas last night. 2am yesterday 30 royal marines boarded boats and roped down by helicopter onto the deck of grace 1, this iranians oil tanker. they took it without a shot being fired —— iranians. the fear was this oil tanker would deliver oil to syria, which would be a breach of sanctions which would be a breach of sanctions which have been set up to try to cripple the regime of bashar al—assad, who has been engaged in this civil warfor al—assad, who has been engaged in this civil war for the last eight yea rs this civil war for the last eight years now. real drama with these royal marines getting on board. anna, the conversation is iran says this isn't about syria, it's about getting at them. you have two stories, where the ship was headed and where what's on it came from,
11:38 pm
iranian crude oil. iran having this i’ow iranian crude oil. iran having this row about its nuclear agreement, a deal it had with the us and mainly eu countries to say we won't pursue oui’ eu countries to say we won't pursue our nuclear programme, carry on enriching uranium, if you try to help us economically and ease up on us economically. the us have decided to go back on that and said we think you are pursuing a nuclear programme in one way or another, so we are going to hit you with sanctions stop the eu have tried to be more pragmatic to say, how can we help you out? iran is having one of the toughest economic climates in 40 years, so the eu is saying you don't have to crack on with this. iran has been enriching uranium at a quicker rate, saying we are serious, help us out or we are going to pursue a nuclear programme, and now this. the uk and iran going to each other's embassies and ticking off each other's ambassadors but behind the
11:39 pm
diplomatic row is a serious story, iran is likely to carry on pursuing a nuclear programme and there is a fresh deadline this sunday for another step upwards in their uranium enrichment, which could see them trying to further pursue nuclear arms. ben, this story taken up by the ft as well, who un—pick it a little bit more on theirfront as well, who un—pick it a little bit more on their front page. there as well, who un—pick it a little bit more on theirfront page. there is quite a bit of tension around the whole issue of iran, as anna was saying, depending on who you are and who your leader is. this comes a few weeks after the four oil tanker attacks, blamed on iran. there's a lot of tension on the region —— in the region with the us having a carrier fleet in the area. there seems to be a ratcheting up on all sides of the tension. it all goes back to this nuclear deal signed by barack 0bama, which donald trump made a big thing of pulling out of last year. there is actually
11:40 pm
division between washington and eu countries, we are sticking by the deal saying it's not perfect and we will try to make it work, but donald trump's fire and fury rhetoric isn't helping the situation, certainly not looking to make it less tense in the area. then we send british royal marines onto this tanker last night, soi marines onto this tanker last night, so i don't think that will help. the ambassador to tehran was hauled in this afternoon. one further complication, spain sits near gibraltar and isn't deeply impressed with britain wading into anything on these issues. the spanish foreign minister has said to the global community that the uk was acting partly on us instruction, so this leaves the uk in a difficult spot that will become more challenging coming forward. does it take a more eu approach to sanctions, targeting
11:41 pm
individuals? 0r eu approach to sanctions, targeting individuals? or the us eu approach to sanctions, targeting individuals? 0rthe us approach, a sledgehammer approach, targeting whole countries much more fiercely. the uk is in a tricky spot with that. spanish are trying to play the ca rd of that. spanish are trying to play the card of gibraltar warders are not regarded as uk waters at all. they are trying to hedge their bets and mmp are trying to hedge their bets and ramp up this us versus eu row with the uk in the middle —— waters. ramp up this us versus eu row with the uk in the middle -- waters. this will run and run, as they say! the times have gone with a different story. this is a number of former senior commissioners of the metropolitan police who have waded in on the issue of police resources and politicians cutting the money coming to them. that's right, five former commissioners of the metropolitan police, the biggest police force in britain and has responsibilities for counterterrorism, very close to the home office, big national
11:42 pm
responsibilities and we were trying to think of a time when five commissioners had got together and written this and we couldn't so we think it's unprecedented. they were in office from 1993 to 2017, covering labour and governments, and this comes a day after borisjohnson said he would put 20,000 bodies back on the beat. 21,000 cut by conservatives in 2010 by theresa may, who is now our prime minister —— labourand may, who is now our prime minister —— labour and governments —— barbies. it takes a long time to train police officers. with getting rid of pointy 1000 officers since 2010, they were experienced officers, beat officers —— 21,000. it's important for counterterrorism because if you see an officer on the street, you're more likely to talk to them, they pick up local intelligence and it can't be overstated how much we lost getting rid of those officers. the
11:43 pm
government justified it rid of those officers. the governmentjustified it at rid of those officers. the government justified it at the time by pointing to crime rates that weren't rising, but there's a timelag because if you're a criminal and you know there's fewer police on the street, you don't immediately go and stab someone or steal something, you take a while to see the effect and there is a timelag and it's coming to bear in theresa may's last daysin coming to bear in theresa may's last days in office. and tapping into the feeling in the public that things are out of control. there's a line that's come up into the reporting about this stance by the reporting about this stance by the five former commissioners that parents don't feel like their children are safe on the streets. it comes against the backdrop of the tick up we've seen in knife crime, or the better reporting. it's becoming vivid, it is following online trends, this violence and people are scared about the impact on their children. it raises the whole community policing issue. we
11:44 pm
know from what we've learned tackling nice crime, it's notjust about adding policemen, it is about services —— knife crime. also those in a&e departments, acting in tandem with police. it's a bit worrying from developing a refined public policy approach to issues like violence on the streets when you are just seeing it reduce to a very big number pledge bobbies on the beat. community policing is important but you need to think as well about services. law & order a massive issue for party leaders and in case anyone forgot there a leadership contest in the conservative party. in the daily telegraph, this is the greatest place on earth, a quote from borisjohnson, greatest place on earth, a quote from boris johnson, who greatest place on earth, a quote from borisjohnson, who will be making a big speech sparing as on to feel great about britain. who could
11:45 pm
argue with that? the telegraph shocking everyone by endorsing their star columnist for number 10. there's no detail in what boris is saying. he is being typical boris. lots of bluster, lots of good words. we need more optimism, he says, we have to go out and do this and do that but he doesn't talk about how we're going to do it. there's talk about the grind about what happens when he becomes prime minister, which is very likely, but when he gets in and he has the stack of papers, a man who doesn't have the eye for detail, when he has to make tough decisions and rena re— negotiates with brussels, how is he going to do it? —— renegotiate. you can't just say that to brussels, it's not good enough. you can't go in with this trademark lustre that got him through the brexit referendum campaign stop you need more if you're going to be prime minister. a crucial time in the
11:46 pm
leadership race? —— lustre. ——. minister. a crucial time in the leadership race? -- lustre. --. you need more if you're going to be prime minister —— lustre. its only people within the party who have a say in who is going to be the next prime minister, that can't be competed enough. they have these ballot papers and their making their choice now, so we're going to a real ramping up in terms of rhetoric and approach and we see that with the telegraph, interviewing boris johnson, an interview withjeremy hunt in the sun as well. going really big on their pledges now. they've already made massive promises in terms of cutting taxes or big spending pledges as well. we are already hearing people like the institute for fiscal studies, who do a lot of checking on government maths, saying hang on, we don't have the money for that. spending spree is on, we are in.
11:47 pm
boris is considered the front runner but the cup son looking atjeremy hunt —— the sun. but the cup son looking atjeremy hunt -- the sun. it's been a difficult 24 hours forjeremy hunt, u nforced difficult 24 hours forjeremy hunt, unforced errors, shall we say on the foxhunting issue that even theresa may realised was dead and buried after 2017. he is going over his policy to build 1.5 million new homes. the problem is, there are so many promises made on housebuilding, because we do have a housing crisis, try to buy a house in certain parts of the country, it is 20 times your salary, for example. you understand whyjeremy hunt is doing this, but it's not going to be enough. and talking about the young, you've got to remember the electorate in this leadership campaign, i hundred and 60,000 people who aren't young —— 100, there isn't always a huge
11:48 pm
number of young members, not necessarily elderly but certainly is towards the upper age brackets. whether or not they can be persuaded, this is who he's talking to. at the moment i think he's not going to get to number ten. and brexit has been the main issue through this contest, but pledges have been coming thick and fast on wider issues. they have stopped throughout the entire campaign hunt has been trying to make a point of his ability to lead the party to an election. boris has been the front runner with the party faithful, the only way he's been able to position himself as the election candidate, i may not be your favourite but think about how i could appeal to our broader cross—section of society, how i could keepjeremy corbyn broader cross—section of society, how i could keep jeremy corbyn out, has been his message. saying something like i'm going to help your grandchildren get homes, and by
11:49 pm
selling that effectively, i might get your grandchildren to vote for me, might be the only approach he can take. sol me, might be the only approach he can take. so i think it makes sense to take the housing approach at this time. horses for courses, one might say. staying with the chancellor and money, touch wood we are at the bottom of the telegraph, hammond's digital tax is not needed. you were getting excited about hammond's digital tax. yes. getting excited about hammond's digitaltax. yes. we should getting excited about hammond's digital tax. yes. we should all be getting excited about this because this is about how we deal with levelling the playing field with the likes of amazon, facebook, google and ata likes of amazon, facebook, google and at a time when high streets are crying out saying that taxes unfair and really struggling. so talking about this is really difficult because we have an international consensus that is going to be built at the oecd where europe and the us are coming together and saying how do we keep itself out, how do we agree on the tax level that everyone can live with that means that one
11:50 pm
isn't trying to undercut the other, but this has been taking years. hammond's lost patience saying no, we hammond's lost patience saying no, we do need to start taxing the digital giants, the likes of casebook, silicon valley, taking back control from them. this 2% levy, the business community is saying, cbi, one of the biggest is this lobbying groups in the uk are saying no, no, no, we don't want to have a uk specific tax at a time when we are trying to sell this global britain message and be seen as really friendly to international businesses stop so you have a really interesting tension there. and, these are big, us, silicon valley giants. we are taking an aggressive approach to them just as we are trying to negotiate a trade deal with the us? it's about how we position ourselves and how we are trying to get a tax, trying to walk
11:51 pm
the right line, the moral line, but also have an appeal to those really key trading partners. challenging times. i want to leave key trading partners. challenging time with ‘ant to leave - is walk with her majesty. this is a duck in edinburgh, how delighted does the queen look? it's a lovely picture of her. a very interesting caption that says all of the dark as a staff favourite despite her habit of trying to board buses. we need more on that. what is the story here? have you ever seen the queen look at a world leader the way she looks at that luck? she only has eyes for corgis and ducks. and
11:52 pm
horses. i think it's a charming photo. but there is a big mystery of 0live's secret adventures on the buses of edinburgh. more investigative journalism needs to buses of edinburgh. more investigativejournalism needs to be done on the adventures of olive the dark. —— duck. 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'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. thank you and goodbye. good evening, i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes, here with your latest sports news. andy murray made a winning return to wimbledon five months after undergoing hip surgery.
11:53 pm
the two—time singles champion is into the second round of the doubles with his french partner, pierre—hugues herbert. they came from a set down to beat ugo humbert and marius copil in four sets. a little bit nervous at the start but obviously it got better as the match went on and there was a really nice atmosphere at the end stop you know, the new roof and stuff is brilliant, it's change the condition slightly under there but the crowd make it a bit more noise. it seems all the noise stays inside the court so it was great to get the win, nice atmosphere. in the singles, there are three britons through to the third round, led by women's number onejo konta. she eased past the doubles specialist katerina siniakova from the czech repbublic 6—3 6—4 on centre court. harriet dart is also through to round three. dan evans was the only british male to make it through, though. he booked his place with a straight sets win over the gerogia's nikoloz basilashvili.
11:54 pm
there defeats for cameron norrie and qualifierjay clarke, who was knocked out by the 8—time champion roger federer. and the two—time winner rafael nadal is into the third round after a feisty 4—setter against his nemesis nick krygios, who twice served underarm and spent much of the match audibly questioning nadal‘s speed of play. at one point he deliberately hit an overarm smash at nadal. krygios didn't apologise to the spaniard at the time and he was in no mood to do so afterwards. why would i apologise? why would i apologise? you seem to wind him up. i don't get it. why would i apologise? how much money in the bank account? he can say kate the chest, mate. i won't bank account? he can say kate the chest, mate. iwon't apologise bank account? he can say kate the chest, mate. i won't apologise at all. where you getting straight at him? —— hitting? all. where you getting straight at him? -- hitting? iwanted to hit all. where you getting straight at him? -- hitting? i wanted to hit him straight in the chest. frank lampard says managing
11:55 pm
chelsea will be the biggest challenge of his career. the former england midfielder, who played at stamford bridge for 13 years, was appointed their new head coach today. the 41—year—old has only been management for just over a year, narrowly missing out on promotion with championship side derby. he's signed a three—year contract. i don't want to call it a dream job, eve ryo ne i don't want to call it a dream job, everyone knows how i feel. i don't have to give it a name, give it a title, but i love this club and i wa nt to title, but i love this club and i want to do my best for this club. and if i can be successful, asked me again when it happens. —— asked me again. 0nto cricket, and england have lost their second one day international of the women's ashes, comfortably beaten by australia by four wickets. 0ur after winning the toss at leicester, england started well — opener tammy beaumont hitting 114, her sixth 0di century. but beaumont‘s dismissal sparked an england collapse where they went from 187—6 to 217 all out, delissa kimmince the best of the bowlers with a five—forjust 26 runs. in reply, australia never really looked like losing, ellyse perry top scoring on 62,
11:56 pm
and they wrapped up the victory with more than four overs to spare. australia now lead the multi—format series 4—0 with one more 0di, three t20s and test match still to play. at the cricket world cup, there was a consolation win for the west indies over afghanistan in both side's final match of the tournament. the windies won by 23 runs at headingley and afghanistan leave without a single point. and huddersfield giants moved away from the bottom of super league with a big win over salford. darnell mcintosh with the final score as huddersfield won by 30—18 at the aj bell stadium. the victory moves them into ninth on 16 points, with leeds, hull kingston rovers and london broncos all on 14 points below them. that's all the sport for now. goodnight. time for a quick check on the
11:57 pm
weather. if you are looking for sunshine today, your best bet was to look further south. this is from a weather watcher in central london. a bit of wispy cloud, but essentially a beautiful day. have a look at theirs. if you spent your day in north—west scotland, there was cloud, mist and drizzle and temperatures got no higher than 30 degrees. keep that cloudy, damp and murky weather across northern areas tonight —— 13 degrees. holding onto some clear spells, one or two spots might get into single digits, mostly 11- 15 might get into single digits, mostly 11— 15 degrees. tomorrow, really the same rules apply. the brightest will be around the southern areas, areas of patchy rain and that rain likely to turn heavier across northern ireland and western scotland through the day. let's take a closer look across the channel islands, southwest, wales, the midlands, east
11:58 pm
anglia, all of these areas enjoy plenty of sunshine. 23 degrees of limit, maybe 27 again in the london area “— limit, maybe 27 again in the london area —— 23 degrees for plymouth. north—east england should hold onto some brightness, grey and damp for northern ireland with rain tapping up. for edinburgh, a bit of shelter from the mountains, you should keep a few brighter glimpses. i don't think we'll see too much in the way of wet weather. tomorrow evening and tomorrow night i should they there isa tomorrow night i should they there is a band of cloud and rain starting to move. it's been plaguing northern areas for the last couple of days but it's the desert its way southwards towards the start of the weekend. the band of cloud of rain isa weekend. the band of cloud of rain is a cold front, as the s suggests, the air turns cooler behind it. it does look like that right is going to drag its heels to some extent, looking quite cloudy, the odds spots of drizzle. to the north of our
11:59 pm
weather front we see some sunny spells but those temperatures dipping away. it will turn cooler and fresher. as we get into sunday that front will have cleared away from all parts, we will all be in the cooler, fresher hour. sunny spells just a small chance for a shower and those temperatures, 13 degrees in aberdeen, perhaps a high of 22 in cardiff. it will turn cooler for all of us as we head towards the weekend. that's all from me, good night.
12:00 am
i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines: a special investigation by the bbc reveals how muslim children in china, some as young as two, are being systematically separated from theirfamilies. we uncover evidence of boarding schools surrounded by barbed wire housing children from the minority uighur community. families of victims of the boeing plane crash in ethiopia speak exclusively to the bbc about their search for justice. i'm lewis vaughanjones in london. also in the programme: he promised a show of a lifetime and a display of tanks.
