~; -~..:-»,»- 16);in ”3,435.16 ‘i --v:- ‘égz-fl -~.v.«»'5.=,_.3 7.4,sz of the weekend. during saturday we will have some showers and a bit while cloud towards the south, things will turn a little fresher by the time we get to sunday, many of us the time we get to sunday, many of us should see a return to the sunshine. here is the weather front, it makes its way further south and during saturday if it's across england and wales, so we'll have a cloudy side to saturday across much of england and wales, some patchy rain through the midlands and east anglia, putting down towards the london region through the afternoon, could be a shower at wimbledon. further north, it is looking like a fine, sunny day. a bit of a northerly breeze down towards the north—east and temperatures in the north—east and temperatures in the north around 14—19, still 22—23, but more cloud further south. as we had through into saturday evening, we have the cloud and a few showers gci’oss have the cloud and a few showers across part of southern and south—east england, that should clear away and then we are all in the clearer fresher hour, so less humid through saturday night and on into sunday. we have a fairly weak
11:31 pm
ridge of high pressure keeping things are settled for another day or weather fronts waiting to the west, but sundy looks like a fairly settled and dry day with some long spells of sunshine. some showery rain across parts of southern and south—eastern england for a time, more cloud later works in from the west. the head of that, in the sunny spells, 13—21, dry and bright weather on the cards. if you can avoid those rogue showers. into the next working week, we have weather fronts trying to move in from the west, this area of high pressure, so on monday a lot of dry weather once again, the best of the sunshine towards northern ireland north—eastern parts of the uk, cloud working on across southern and western areas of the day with the odd shower around. temperatures on monday somewhere between 15—21, so a little cooler than we have seen, certainly two end the week. as we move through monday night into tuesday, we have the weather fronts trying to move in, bumping into this area of high pressure, some
11:32 pm
uncertainty on the detail into the new week, it looks like on tuesday the area is likely to see showers across northern ireland, north and western scotland, whereas further south and east you are under the influence of the higher pressure. some sunshine for southern and eastern england, east of scotland, top temperatures around 22 on tuesday. this is the theme as we look through the middle part of the week, we have high pressure not far away, probably sitting towards the south—east, these weather fronts moving into northern and western parts of the uk, so on wednesday potentially some heavier burst of rain, particularly through northern ireland, scotland, northern england as well. for the rest of england and wales we will likely stay dry for much of the day and reasonably warm, temperature starting to creep up. 2a degrees through the london region, even northern ireland and scotland could see highs of 20—21. towards the end of next week, later next week, high—pressure doesn't like it will build but some uncertainty on its exact positioning. either way with the area of high pressure, this
11:33 pm
is the jet stream, which looks like it will move to the north, which will allow these orange colours, this warmer air to move in avenue we had through next weekend. —— as we had. it looks like some sunny spells, through the middle of the week we should take some showers, they should ease away and then temperatures will warm up again towards the end of the week and into next weekend. hello, this is bbc news. we will be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first the headlines: a boost for the uk car industry. jaguar land rover is to invest hundreds of millions of pounds to build electric vehicles in birmingham. the biggest network of modern—day slavery is exposed in the uk. eight people are jailed after forcing more than 400 victims into manual labour on farms and in factories. translation: i couldn't even leave the house to go for a walk. they were following me, spying on me.
11:34 pm
they were controlling me. anger amongst tommy robinson supporters as the former leader of the far—right english defence league faces jail after being found guilty of contempt of court 15—year—old coco gauff seals a stunning victory at wimbledon, taking her through to the fourth round in herfirst ever grand slam. and this — america's first lady, melania trump, gets herfirst statue in her home country of slovenia, to mixed reviews. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.
11:35 pm
with me are editor of politics home kevin schofield and uk correpondent for france 2a benedicte paviot. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the conservative leadership race leads a number of tomorrow's front pages, including the times, which reports borisjohnson is set for a landslide victory with a yougov poll putting mrjohnson on 7a%, whilejeremy hunt gets 26% of the vote. staying with the leadership race, and borisjohnson tells the daily mail he will make violent criminals serve full jail sentences, and would boost stop—and—search powers. while the i reports that borisjohnson says he would take a pay cut to become pm, putting some of his other commitments aside. a proposed shake—up to inheritance rules leads the front of the financial times weekend, with a recommendation to cut the seven—year gifting rule down to five.
11:36 pm
the daily mirror leads on the news that killers who refuse to reveal the whereabouts of bodies will now no longer be eligible for parole, after a change in the law. the duke and duchess of sussex are urged to lift the secrecy surrounding tomorrow's christening of baby archie in the daily express. the paper says their online poll reveals 82% of readers disagree with the couple's decision to keep the ceremony private. tennis now, and the guardian leads with a picture of 15—year—old cori ‘coco‘ gauff celebrating her stunnign comeback victory at wimbledon this evening, sending her through to the third round of the competition. a picture of serena williams and andy murray practising for their first mixed doubles appearance at wimbledon makes the front of the telegraph. their match was postponed this evening, and will instead take place at some point tomorrow. so once again the contest to lead
11:37 pm
the conservative party, and of course the country, absolutely dominating a lot of the front pages again. in the daily mail, boris‘s w0 re again. in the daily mail, boris‘s wore on softjustice. that sounds like a classic pitch to tory party members. yes, red meat, ithink, to tory membership, just as the ballot papers are being put through those letterboxes tomorrow morning. and yes, borisjohnson letterboxes tomorrow morning. and yes, boris johnson has letterboxes tomorrow morning. and yes, borisjohnson has given an interview to the daily mail in which he vows to get tough, essentially re—establish the conservative reputation as a party of law and order. he says he will ensure that, as he says, thugs and sex offenders will be locked up for longer. he is not very happy that they get half of the sentence knocked off for good behaviour. he thinks of that as soft justice, and that you should stay in jailfor justice, and that you should stay in jail for longer. justice, and that you should stay in jailfor longer. he says justice, and that you should stay in jail for longer. he says that is what the public want. he has already announced he will boost
11:38 pm
stop—and—search powers, something he has long been very vocal on. he will increase the number of police officers by 20,000, reversing cuts implemented by the tory government. of which he was a part. of which he was a part, which he has may be neglected to mention that, strangely. but he has also... it is not all, as i say, red meat to the right wing of the tory party. there is also a little touch of the liberal borisjohnson, is also a little touch of the liberal boris johnson, he is also a little touch of the liberal borisjohnson, he talks about an amnesty for long—term illegal migrants, tens of thousands of people who have been here illegally for... i am not sure what the timescale would be, but certainly several years, i guess, and they will not be deported, they will be allowed to stay. i think that will be controversial with a lot of tory members. they might not like that particular policy, but as for the other stuff, it will play
11:39 pm
right into their hands. interesting, this, because on the one hand he is saying he will be a socially liberal one nation conservative who will unite the country, and then he throws out a bit of this tough on crime stuff, but at the same time talking about this amnesty. yes, i think in french we say to eat and to drink, there is a pick and mix there. this is what i think both candidates are doing. taking out the cheque—book and making a lot of promises as to, as we were saying earlier... brexit will clearly be dominant, clearly. but it is interesting. and i think one of the lines that goes along here is saying that he declares his girlfriend will not be meddling in his decisions if he reaches number ten. not be meddling in his decisions if he reaches numberten. i not be meddling in his decisions if he reaches number ten. i am literally quoting here, and what is interesting is that what we were referring to about not letting people who have more than 14 years
11:40 pm
out ofjail people who have more than 14 years out of jail early people who have more than 14 years out ofjail early for people who have more than 14 years out of jail early for violent people who have more than 14 years out ofjail early for violent and sexual offences, well, of course, as the daily mail reminds us, this is going to be seen as a partial response to that very serious and notorious case of the black cab rapist, john worboys, and the fact that carrie symonds led a successful campaign, actually, against the pa role campaign, actually, against the parole board's decision and got them to reverse it. she was targeted as a 19—year—old by a —— to reverse it. she was targeted as a 19—year—old bya —— by to reverse it. she was targeted as a 19—year—old by a —— by worboys and givena 19—year—old by a —— by worboys and given a spiked drink. and as the daily mail says, this decision appears to contradict the fact that she wouldn't have an influence. this will be seen as a potential influence. i think in the sense of also having many different policies, one that will please some people who bought diesel cars because they thought that that was the thing to do, he is offering the prospect of a
11:41 pm
scrap edge scheme for owners of ageing diesel cars who have seen values plummet. yet another pledge, they are coming out thick and fast, but the overall picture, the times has this poll suggesting boris johnson is set for a landslide in the battle to reach number ten. a landslide presumably amongst conservative members is what they are talking about. yes, and this campaign or this part of the contest has been going for two weeks, johnson versus hunt, head to head. it doesn't seem there has been a lot of sound and fury, jeremy hunt has gone strong on borisjohnson‘s character, his competence, and none of it seems to be sticking. 26% back jeremy hunt and 40% want boris johnson. this is bigger than a mountain to climb, it is virtually impossible. i don't know what could happen in the next two weeks to possibly turn it around, especially
11:42 pm
given the fact that most tory members we believe will vote almost immediately. as soon as they get the ballot paper they will fill it in and send right back. so if it is going to turn around forjeremy hunt, it will have to happen literally in the next couple of days and there doesn't seem to be much evidence that is going to happen. and this finding in this poll certainly seems to fit with another one. the trends we have been hearing over the last few days, surveys of party members and so on, suggesting borisjohnson for all party members and so on, suggesting boris johnson for all that has party members and so on, suggesting borisjohnson for all that has been thrown at him is still way out in front. yes, these allegations don't seem front. yes, these allegations don't seem to be sticking, or the one about him being deprived of certain intelligence by the security services when he was foreign secretary, something borisjohnson, let's be clear, denies. but mr hunt says wait, don't vote, to all these 160,000. don't vote yet, because i've got momentum. i've got a sense of momentum. he has tweeted about
11:43 pm
two hours ago, jeremy hunt, saying there is momentum. people are switching, there is real evidence of this. this poll doesn't seem to reflect that. and mr hunt is particularly saying, look, wait. you need to see us in action. try me, then by me, or vote for me. i should withdraw by me, —— buy me. he is not for sale. he is talking about the first head to head between mr hunt and mrjohnson first head to head between mr hunt and mr johnson on first head to head between mr hunt and mrjohnson on itv. that will be and mrjohnson on itv. that will be a head—to—head debate. and then there is the bbc's andrew neill on friday night. mr hunt is saying those are consecutive interviews with both the contenders, and he is saying wait until you have seen us and then cast your votes. so presumably the earliest mr hunt wants anyone to vote is next weekend, and yet two hustings today,
11:44 pm
two hustings tomorrow. scotland was one of them today, wales was one tomorrow, really trying to cover the country. so do we have any inside, good, reliable intro on when conservative members are actually going to cast their votes? because it seems that it is all to play for, still, for the... he it seems that it is all to play for, still, forthe... he doesn't it seems that it is all to play for, still, for the... he doesn't think so, but underdog. there's or 28% is just a huge, commanding lead, if indeed it is true. the key for me and this is that 90% believe that borisjohnson will force and this is that 90% believe that boris johnson will force through and this is that 90% believe that borisjohnson will force through a no deal brexit, which is ambitious, i think. 0nly no deal brexit, which is ambitious, i think. only 27% think thatjeremy hunt can. he can't shake down the fa ct hunt can. he can't shake down the fact he campaigned for remain, and that makes him beyond repair. and the independent has a reminder of how difficult it will be if, as looks increasingly likely, it is
11:45 pm
borisjohnson. he looks increasingly likely, it is boris johnson. he has looks increasingly likely, it is borisjohnson. he has come out very strongly and said he is going for 31 0ctober. do—or—die raid, as the date that the uk will leave the eu. and now we are hearing that the chancellor, philip hammond, is leading a plot to kill off a no deal brexit. not quite clear how they are going to do this. well, that's the thing, yes. they are talking the talk. and john bercow is a very interventionist speaker, he will help us, with a way that the voice will be heard, and if it comes to it that the government is pushing no deal as policy, parliament will get an opportunity to pass its own judgement, and people like philip hammond, the justice judgement, and people like philip hammond, thejustice secretary, they are saying they fully believe that parliament will block it if it gets the opportunity. now, i think it was sky broke it earlier, saying there was a group of around 30 tory mps meeting to plot. i did run it past
11:46 pm
people in david gauke's camp, they said plotting was overtaking it. there have been meetings, there are certainly discussions going on. they have been much more vocal, these mps. it is a shot across boris johnson's bal, but they are assuming he will win. they are saying, look, talk to him about no deal because parliament will have its say and we will block it. and several of those who have been talking about people being prepared to vote to bring down the tory government if necessary to stop a deal will say no, but i won't do it myself. so much more to unfold there. but let's look at some of the other stories. let's look at some of the other stories. the revelation
11:47 pm
that huawei's workers link them to chinese military agencies, something that huawei as a company has continued to deny. and they continue to do so, but according to the daily telegraph who is quoting a professor, christopher balding, an associate professor at the fulbright university of vietnam, it is also a think tank, the henryjackson society, london london—based think tank, they say that they have concluded that about 100 huawei staff had connections with the chinese military, or intelligence agencies, and they are "—— their background indicate experience in matters of national security." this is really not going to help after the press conference that the chinese ambassador in london, making accusations, telling in no uncertain terms the british government saying... stop interfering in hong
11:48 pm
kong protests, you are aiding... i am not quoting him, but it amounted to saying that you are aiding and supporting violent to saying that you are aiding and supporting viole nt protesters, to saying that you are aiding and supporting violent protesters, the chinese ambassador was obviously referring —— chinese ambassador was obviously referring — — referring chinese ambassador was obviously referring —— referring to the invasion of the parliament in hong kong by protesters which is a very different episode to the very peaceful ministrations and as some has pointed out, and have you seen demonstrators cleaning up after themselves. and all of this is at themselves. and all of this is at the same time as the controversy over whether huawei should have a role in the 5g network. the ambassador was called into the foreign office and given talking to brave the british government. —— by the british government. the political context is that theresa may was prepared to give huawei a role in britain's 5g network, and this appears to lend weight to what the intelligence services have said that huawei is an arm of the chinese
11:49 pm
state and should not be allowed to access the 5g network. state and should not be allowed to access the 56 network. let's look at the mirror, which is talking about helen's law degree, something that the mirror itself has been backing. this has been going on for about three years, it has been a major campaign by the daily mirror, it is called helen's law because of helen mccourt who was murdered in 1988, and her body has ever been found, the man who killed has never revealed where he left her body. her pa rents, revealed where he left her body. her parents, her mother i should say, has been putting very strongly for a change in the law which would basically mean that parole board must take account of the fact that murderers have not helped police find the bodies of their victims, and if that were proven to be the case then they should not get parole. so this is now confirmed that this will become law and it will become much harderfor these
11:50 pm
killers to be let out if they have not given parents some comfort. and how deceit to many objections to that. let's look at the sun front page," that. let's look at the sun front page, " tot secret is the headline, looking to the christening of little archie tomorrow which we will a p pa re ntly archie tomorrow which we will apparently not see much of. this is not going down too well, all the other papers have been telling us throughout the week really that it was megan's doing, behind the secrecy was megan's doing, behind the secrecy ellipses will it be not revealing who the godparents are... the son has done a mockup of what the mockup will look like, with a reduction over godparents. they are keeping the names hush—hush. what is interesting is that they are saying
11:51 pm
that harry is the driving force. that is the new angle, we are told that will be a lavish service and we know it will be conducted by the archbishop of canterbury. the fact that there is this proximity, and evenif that there is this proximity, and even if they had not been the proximity of the huge amount of money that was paid by taxpayers up and down the land, and i think the sun putting public funded harry by banner names, i cannot render the la st banner names, i cannot render the last time i have seen this in headline about royal family. this strikes me as a pr disaster for the royal family. strikes me as a pr disaster for the royalfamily. i strikes me as a pr disaster for the royal family. i will be surprised if the godparents names did not leak in some way. and people would love to see... pictures of the christening and the baby ellipses some wood, some wouldn't. but now it is a big issue. it seems like a strange decision, i'm not entirely sure what the logic is, but it seems to be an own goal. one issue which i am sure many people will rejoice in, here in the telegraph back page, as well as some of the front pages as well,
11:52 pm
this is the new teen sensation at wimbledon, what an extraordinary victory. what an extraordinary woman, young woman, a reminder of the williams sisters, this kind of family support, this dedication, she has said the williams sisters are her idols, but what an incredible focus and determination, clearly a lot of sacrifice involved, and i love that look of astonishment, that freshness, i think she is going to give usa freshness, i think she is going to give us a lot of pleasure yet to come and a fantastic story from wimbledon. first graham's name, just amazing. —— first grand slam. beating venus williams in the first round, it has been remarkable. tremendous story and another likely one tomorrow with serena williams and andy murray on court, thank you both very much indeed. that is it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it is all there for you seven days
11:53 pm
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, kevin and benedicte. goodbye. good evening, i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes here with your latest sports news. the story of the day was at wimbledon, where it seems we have a new global tennis star, and she's only 15. cori gauff, or coco to herfriends, had already knocked out venus williams earlier in the tournament, and now she's into the fourth round after beating polona hercog in an epic match on centre court. james burford reports. teenagers, right? always listening to their music. she had a pretty good excuse, this is quite a big occasion. she has got to zoning. but
11:54 pm
not since 1990 have we seen anything like this. jennifer capriati reached the 14 -- like this. jennifer capriati reached the 14 —— reached the fourth round that year as a 14—year—old. and what stands out most about gauff, despite being just 15, is her composure. buying shots that those double her age would be proud of. up until now the occasion has seemed utterly troubling, but maybe here, signs of stress, a double fault to hand polona hercog the first set. but if you doubt her bottle, have a look at this. going for the line takes guts, even more so when facing matchpoint. and so to a tie—break to keep her in the match. yes! and we are 1- ones set here. it is hard not to feel something. backed up by some backhand brilliance. polona hercog played the unenviable role of pantomime villain but brought plenty
11:55 pm
of spice to the match. the crowd could sense a seminal moment. over to you, coco. the noise tells you everything you need to know, simply astonishing. she is not old enough to board certain rollercoasters is, but the ride continues. the crowd was amazing. even when i was down matchpoint, they were still cheering me on, and i am just super thankful that they believe in me. hunger, character, talent. coco is popping all the bubbles. she will be labelled a champion in the making, but she is already playing title winning tennis. well, because gauff‘s match went on so long it meant the much anticipated pairing of andy murray and serena williams had to be postponed. they were due to play germany's andreas mies and alexa guarachi of chile on centre court in the first round of the mixed doubles — instead the match is expected to take place tomorrow. as the record—breaking women's world cup comes to a close this weekend, fifa president gianni infantino says
11:56 pm
he wants to increase the size from 24 to 32 teams and to double its prize money, as well as start a women's club world cup. athletics now, and jamaica's shelly—ann fraser pryce beat britain's dina asher smith to win the lausanne diamond league. the 32—year—old won the 100 metres in a time of 10.74, only four hundredths of a second slower than her lifetime best. asher—smith finished second in a season's best of 10.91 seconds. unsurprisingly, pakistan are out of the cricket world cup, confirming new zealand's place in the semifinals alongside england, india and australia. pakistan needed to beat bangladesh by at least 308 runs today to reach the semifinal, an almost impossible task. they won by 94 runs. st helens increased their lead at the top of rugby league's super league after thrashing third—placed hull fc 40—12.
11:57 pm
there was also an important win for leeds rhinos, who beat neighbours castleford tigers 18—10 away to distance themselves from the bottom of the table as they scrap to avoid relegation this season. elsewhere tonight, wigan also had a big 52—10 win over hull kr. 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. the peak of the heat happened today at least for england and wales, where it has been sizzling the last couple of days. 28 is 82 fahrenheit, 16 cooler at 61 underneath the crowd further north, and the cloud is a tell—tale sign of change, it is a weather front that is meandering southwards. so as we go through the early hours of the morning it will bring splashes of rain to northern ireland, northern england towards north wales. it allows clear air to come into the north and fresher hour, so it will be cooler to start
11:58 pm
across scotland but still uncomfortably across scotland but still u nco mforta bly close across scotland but still uncomfortably close in southern areas for sleeping. by its very nature, it's a cold weather front which will introduce fresh air across the uk this weekend, so for all, even those in the south where it has been so hot, it will feel cooler. most places should still say dry, so if the front does come through it will not last long. behind the north—westerly breeze a cts behind the north—westerly breeze acts to the —— adds to the call of real, quite a brisk wind blowing, particularly over the hills. it brings dry and sunny weather while further south the cloud meanders its way across wales, the midlands and east anglia, giving way to sometime later on. but it could be that we see a splash of rain, a light shower at wimbledon later in the afternoon, so that is something to be aware of if you are heading in. it is not looking as sunny as it has been but there could still be some radiation getting through the cloud so do be aware of that if you are sitting out all day because it is not exactly guaranteed cloud and guaranteed rain. but it's dampening the temperatures. we are still hanging
11:59 pm
onto 24—25 in the far south but must —— for most of us, three or four degrees down. sunshine, just the odd shower, sheltered from the north—westerly breeze in the sunshine, 17—18, so quite a pleasant day really. and quite a pleasant evening, sunshine continues overnight, just a few showers continue as well for the north and west, all of us having a fresher night tomorrow night. we do hang onto a little bit of that warmth in the cities across the far south of england, and we may welljust hang on to the tail end of that weather front as well, and a few showers on sunday in southern areas. but that is the exception rather than the rule for most of us, are dry and bright day, sunny periods, fairweather cloud bubbling up, just the odd shower, winds easing, so the west is best for sunshine, especially western scotland, north—west england into the midlands, 21, not too bad, ' north—west england into the midlands, 21, not too bad, ‘should be for this time of year. next week it looks more unsettled in the
12:00 am
north. this is bbc news, i‘m martin stanford. our top stories: venezuela releases 22 prisoners, including a high—profile judge, after the un accused the government of abuses against the oppostion. eight people are jailed in the uk for their part in what is being described as the worst case of modern—day slavery ever seen in britain. translation: i couldn't even leave the house to go for a walk. they were following me, spying on me. they were controlling me. president trump threatens to use executive powers to count the number of us citizens in the population census. and coco gauff does it again. another stunning victory for the 15—year—old at wimbledon,
