bit of warmth. 25 celsius possible here were some parts of mainland scotla nd here were some parts of mainland scotland a bit cooler, 1a or 17 at best. outbreaks of rain into the evening across northern england in southern scotland, fading away as we go through tuesday night and into wednesday. another round of weather fronts pushing through the blanket the low pressure system into the north towards oz. we will see the rain pepper began on wednesday that there is low pressure exerting a bit more influence. a few heavier downpours towards east anglia and the south—east. scotland, northern ireland, more likely to see the rain. slightly more humid weather pushing its way north. more widely into the 20s across some southern areas. low into the 20s across some southern areas. low pressure into the 20s across some southern areas. low pressure does try to win out as we go through to thursday. again, it's not doing a massive effort in bringing us any substantial rain. someone southern counties stay dry yet again. we will
11:31 pm
see some showers and across scotland and north—east england, we could see some severe thunderstorms on thursday afternoon. quite a muggy few out there. that low pressure starts. pushed along by the jetstrea m. starts. pushed along by the jetstream. we will see showers around on friday. mainly because eastern areas. that north—west wind developing. the best of sunshine southern areas. still very little significant rainfall the southernmost counties and temperatures dropping a bit relative to what we've seen. into the weekend, as the jetstream to what we've seen. into the weekend, as thejetstream lives to what we've seen. into the weekend, as the jetstream lives to the north, the high pressure gradually works its way in. we're still the course side. the eastern half of the country most likely to see cloud rolling at times and greater chance of a few showers for western most likely to be drive but perhaps for some longer spells of
11:32 pm
sunshine but it's going to feel rather cool down some of those eastern coast with the wind off the sea, warmest conditions to the south and west with a bit more on the way of sunshine. as we going into the weekend, high pressure really setting up. it continues into the start of next week. it's almost going to be a repeat of what we've seen over the past week or so with highs trying to build in and went out, given over to some cooler and wetter conditions at times the most likely to see things turn gradually wetter to the north and north—west, still very little in the way of significant rain in the south. hello. this is bbc news with me, julian worricker. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines: president trump says he'll no longer deal with the uk ambassador to washington following a leak of emails that are critical of his administration. tens of millions of pounds of public money may have been lost
11:33 pm
to fraudsters, after targeting the government's universal credit benefits system. deutsche bank starts to make the first of 18,000 job cuts, including in london, as part of a radical global reorganisation. the leaders of the biggest labour supporting union have reached common ground on brexit, supporting a second referendum on any deal which would include an option to remain. british women's number one johanna konta is through to the wimbledon quarter—finals after beating the former champion petra kvitova by two sets to one. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are nicola bartlett, the political correspondent for the daily mirror,
11:34 pm
and broadcaster david davies. welcome back. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. ‘our man in limbo‘ — that's the lead on the metro, after donald trump says he will no longer deal with britain's ambassador to the us, whose private criticisms of the president were leaked. the i carries the same story, with a focus on president trump's comments about theresa may's handling of brexit. he took to twitter this evening to say that it's good news that the uk will soon have a new prime minister. the guardian leads with those tweets from donald trump but also reports on how paramedics saved the life of one of the salisbury novichok victims by administering an antidote which had never been used on a uk patient before. the telegraph leads with borisjohnson‘s pledge to fix the pension cap that means some high earners face tax rates of 90%, with a knock—on effect that some doctors are refusing to take on extra hours.
11:35 pm
the conservative leadership candidate was speaking at a telegraph hustings event. deutsche bank shares fall by more than 5% as the global cull of 18,000 staff begins, that's on the front of the financial times. the daily express reports on delays in the reform of dementia care which has seen sufferers and their families spending almost £15 billion in bills. and the daily mirror says food shoppers are being cheated, with one in five products containing products that are not on the label. let's have a look at some of those. david, let's start with the guardian and donald trump and theresa may. hours is a very long time and donald trump and theresa may.‘ hours is a very long time in the white house. sunday, that's when this story was broken by the mail on sunday, and mrtrump
11:36 pm
this story was broken by the mail on sunday, and mr trump was saying, we're not big fans of that man, being our ambassador in washington, and he hasn't served the uk well so ican and he hasn't served the uk well so i can understand it and i can say things about him, but i won't bother. 2a hours later, i know the ambassador but he's not liked or well thought of in the us, we will no longer deal with him and the good news for the wonderful uk is they will soon have a new prime minister and he goes on to say how brexit is and he goes on to say how brexit is a mess under mrs may and all the rest of it. winding up donald trump isn't the most difficult thing in life apparently, and you do wonder, the real significance of this spat is how will a new prime minister, presumably with the christian name boris, deal with it? presumably with the christian name boris, dealwith it? he's presumably with the christian name boris, deal with it? he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't keep mr derek, you might say, you might worry. let's unpick this a bit because as david hints, there was the initial reaction, it has clearly
11:37 pm
intensified. do you think that perhaps die because there's been a lot of backing for kim darroch that this has sparked something more angry from donald trump? the uk response has been to very clearly distance themselves from the content of these memos and say it's not the official position, but as you say, to back sir and theresa may said she had full confidence in him today. there's a chance donald trump might not appreciate the differences between that. these are memos that aren't meant to be public for very good reason. they're meant to be the honest representation of what somebody in that country thinks at the time. suralan somebody in that country thinks at the time. sur alan duncan, somebody in that country thinks at the time. suralan duncan, who somebody in that country thinks at the time. sur alan duncan, who was responding for the government today in the commons, was saying that there's obviously a lot more in them. there's things more
11:38 pm
complimentary about the white house et cetera, and the fact that donald trump has chosen to react in this way almost seems like he's missed an opportunity to get angry about it in fa ct. opportunity to get angry about it in fact. how often do these leak enquiries actually get anywhere, that would be the question i would ask, and the... not very often would be your suspicion. david made the point about the dilemma about who succeeds theresa may. clearly if the president does not deal with sir kim darroch, that's a problem, so what do you do? it renders our man in washington important effectively, but you don't want to be seen to be kowtowing to the bullying of donald trump in this context. it's not a case of dealing with a bully... exactly. he's quite open about the fact... i do not know the ambassador, he says, and that
11:39 pm
doesn't come as a great shock to many people, i wouldn't have thought. but there will be others who will deal with the british ambassador, and the british ambassador, and the british ambassador, you would suspect, certainly british ambassadors in the past, and you can think of some quite well—known ones, it is the peak of the diplomatic roles that these ambassadors who moved from embassy to embassy over a number of yea rs, embassy to embassy over a number of years, would ever hold. —— who move. the very fact nobody has denied this memo. . . the very fact nobody has denied this memo... these memos were sent, these things were said, but the whole strength of them is that they seek to tell their version of the truth. nicola, do you share david's doubts as to whether the leaker will ever be identified? a lot of people have been saying it would be highly unlikely for it to be a civil servant because of the very nature of this. interestingly, it came out
11:40 pm
today that these types of communications automatically delete after three months, and the cache of memos goes back quite a long time so obviously someone has been planning this for a while and has been keeping a copy and storing it up. there's quite a strong motive, whoever they are. you wouldn't think there are hundreds of people who would have had access. that was my suspicion. there are two levels apparently. the group of documents fall under both, so it is somebody with quite high access essentially stop you would have thought they'd they'd be able to narrow it down. let's move on. nicola, the mail, dementia care costs and they've done some sums based on the policies that haven't happened basically. of all theissues haven't happened basically. of all the issues that brexit has distracted the government from, this is probably the most pressing and the one that is politically the most
11:41 pm
toxic. it was obviously a huge issue at the last general election. theresa may announced her plan to deal with this issue in terms of getting people to dip into basically the equity in their homes, or sell their homes, and it was dubbed a dementia tax essentially. it is such a difficult issue but basically the government has failed to produce this paper for two years, and this is the amount of money that's been spent in that time. some of us who've been around a bit longer than nicola are third up to the high teeth with this situation. it is a scandal and a failure of successive governments of all colours. whatever happened... remember, there was a period in the noughties, 2007, perhaps slightly earlier, when andy burnham was health secretary and he
11:42 pm
talked about getting a consensus on this issue once and for all. one wonders whatever happened to that. man by the name of andrew del mott, i remember, a fairly extensive examination of all this, put forward a suggestion on policies and it's disappeared into the long grass since. a government green paper has been delayed six times since it was commissioned, as you say, in march, 2017 and is the latest in 20 years of government commissions, reviews and proposals to deal with a crisis that we are all aware of. and as you hinted about what was said in the conservative proposals at the last election, until this becomes a cross— party election, until this becomes a cross—party way forward, the other side is going to knock what the other suggests. some labour mps the other suggests. some labour mps the other day told me they had a similarly experience when they try to do this and the tories called it
11:43 pm
a death tax. it's easy to knock down for your opponent. you could say theresa may shouldn't have gone as faras theresa may shouldn't have gone as far as she theresa may shouldn't have gone as faras she did theresa may shouldn't have gone as far as she did in that proposal and should have hinted at it. it's a very divisive topic to talk about when a lot of the conservative party vote rs when a lot of the conservative party voters might be people who are slightly older and own their own homes and it would have directly affected them. the problem is, this isa affected them. the problem is, this is a situation that's only going to become more pressing and it's going to take a lot of money to fix. whatever we do to tackle it, it's going to be incredibly expensive. boris will surely fix it! who knows? he's going to fix everything else! this is her legacy, that's on the front of the times, or it may not be. philip hammond, there's an interesting person in our country at the moment. one ally of mr boris johnson quoted in this story say they expect mr hammond to be a
11:44 pm
nightmare on the back inches, which is where he is headed for sure over the next few weeks. here, mrs may, very concerned and quite rightly about her legacy, has been wanting to spend £27 billion on funding for education and it appears mr hammond would like to spend £5 billion. but he is saying that his support is conditional upon spending the web on a cross—party attempt to try to stop britain leaving the eu without a deal on october the 31st —— with. mr hammond is potentially the leader of those tories who won't allow a no deal brexit. it's been fascinating watching mr hammond over the last few weeks. leaving a aside whether you agree with him, he knows he's not going to be chancellor for much longer so how does he play that? fascinating. he almost seems like he's enjoying his current role,
11:45 pm
where he has this newfound freedom to say what he thinks and he's been very frank about what he perceives as the danger of no deal brexit. interesting that this has come out now, and if he is a kind of rallying figure on the back benches,... they've already got some quite big figures in those groups of rebels, people like dominic grieve, who has his latest bid to stop no deal coming tomorrow, but philip hammond isa coming tomorrow, but philip hammond is a strong player in that. interesting theresa may is trying to flash the cash in all these different areas, because it will seem to the public i think to late by this stage. i don't think it will have the effect she hopes —— too late. you can't believe that it will stop the it's late. you can't believe that it will stop the its extraordinary. if she's finding it this difficult —— you can't believe that it will. its
11:46 pm
extraordinary. if you give money to anything, start with education. then teachers will complain that, oh my goodness, will no—one ever give us any piece? another change of the national curriculum and the exam system national curriculum and the exam syste m — — national curriculum and the exam system —— peace. national curriculum and the exam system -- peace. there speaks a former education correspondent!|j know former education correspondent!” know a little bit! will corbyn follow? the implication is he will. potentially a huge development in the slow evolution of labour's exit policy. they've been inching ever so slowly towards this. to explain what the unions have agreed, is that the labour party would campaign... would have a second referendum and campaign for remain in the case of a tory brexit deal. in the case of a
11:47 pm
general election, however, they would support the result of the 2016 referendum, go back to brussels and basically agree a labour deal, then still put it to the people and allow eithera remain or still put it to the people and allow either a remain or labour deal. that's fascinating, if you get to the point where you do a deal in brussels, i know there's lots of ifs here, having previously campaigned for remain... do you back the deal you've just negotiated? nicola talked about the slow evolution of labour policy on this matter. i mean, what is slower than slow? quite extraordinary! this is absolutely... if mr mccluskey and unite have made this shift, as it would appear they have, then that is
11:48 pm
a significant development, there is little doubt about that. we've got about four minutes left, a little bit to squeeze in. we'll see how we go. the mirror. this is an exclusive. my eminent colleague from the mirror i think will have better knowledge of this story than i. basically we're talking about ham with know—how in it. lamb donna ke ba bs with know—how in it. lamb donna kebabs with no lamb in it. pork sausages with lamb and beef in them. it's quite extraordinary... horse gate was the big scandal of not so many years ago. still flying around. and which magazine unsurprisingly unimpressed? the main factor here is allegedly people are using cheaper cuts to bulk out the meat, and one of the concerns raised in the meet
11:49 pm
's cuts in local government means there's fewer trade inspectors to check up on this. it's obviously a real concern because shoppers want to know what they are actually eating. i suspect that might make for another lead the day eating. i suspect that might make for anothei because day eating. i suspect that might make for anothei because the particular interesting because the particular drone model, the aryan sky ranger, which has night vision and zoom lenses, is used by 20 armies around the world, and it is used to track people down and now might be used get you if you're doing 35 mph. they say the deployment against drivers would raise eyebrows.” say the deployment against drivers would raise eyebrows. i have personal experience of this because the other week i was looking over my
11:50 pm
garden fence and minding my own business, as is my want, and a drone hovered over the house of my neighbour. i didn't know if this was a30 neighbour. i didn't know if this was a 30 mph aryan sky ranger, but i'm deeply uneasy about these things. regardless of what they may or may not have done at airports at christmas, a really bad accident could happen with one of these drones somewhere because the people controlling them, even the small ones, are not always in control, it would appear to me. 45 seconds. david, infused about tennis players on the front of the mail.” david, infused about tennis players on the front of the mail. i am thrilled... i'm sorry about koko but she gave so much pleasure —— enthuse. joke on her, as i said 45 minutes ago, she is a super person who is a real sports personality in every sense “—
11:51 pm
who is a real sports personality in every sense —— jo konta. who is a real sports personality in every sense ——jo konta. she is very articulate and i desperately want to have her win a grand slam, and wimbledon, having been to it for yea rs wimbledon, having been to it for years and years, miraculously is still the most wonderful event. do you want to enthuse for 15 more seconds? that picture of coco is devastating but she has inspired so many people. she really has. fantastic performance. thank you both very much indeed. 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, nicola and david. goodbye. good evening. i'm chetan pathak with your
11:52 pm
latest sports news. british number one johanna konta is into the quarter—finals of wimbledon after she knocked out the two time champion petra kvitova in three sets. it was far from straightforward against the czech player, who won the first set 6—4. but konta battled back to take the second 6—1 before edging out the decider by 6—4. she'll face czech world number 54 barbora strycova in the last eight. i feel tremendously grateful to be here. i'm just happy to still be in the event, to be playing each match stop either way i'm competing, i'm really pleased with that and to be playing their best players in the world world and coming through in tough matches against them, there's not much more you can ask for as a professional tennis player. 15—year—old coco gauff‘s fairytale run has come to an end, after she was beaten in straight sets by the former world number one simona halep. gauff beat venus williams in the opening round but the seventh seed halep was determined not to be
11:53 pm
on the receiving end of an upset, this one of the shots of the first set which she won 6—3. and the second set went exactly the same way, with gauff battling hard, but halep sealed the win that sets up a quarter—final match against china's zhang shuai. you have to hit a lot of balls to be here, and you can't expect everything to be a winner, notjust about everyone but against her, she's one of the quickest players i've played this week. playing a former world number one and a grand slam champion. even though i'm still young, my game gives these players a bit of a hassle and when i get back to work, hopefully the us open, i try to make it to another second week. let's round up some of the other stories on fourth round day at wimbledon. in one of the biggest shocks of the tournament so far, the women's number one seed is out. ashleigh barty was beaten in three
11:54 pm
sets by the american alison riske. she was on a 15—match unbeaten run having won the french open. and next up for riske is serena williams. she's safely through to the last eight after cruising past spain's carla suarez navarro. the seven—time champion raced to a 6—2 6—2 victory over the world number 31. two—time champion rafa nadal eased past joao sousa, the man who beat dan evans on saturday. the number three seed winning comfortably in straight sets 6-2, 6-2, 6-2. and the defending men's champion novak djokovic made light work of his opponent too. the number one seed brushed aside 21—year—old ugo umbert in straight sets. and things werejust as comfortable for the 8—time champion roger federer. he reached a record—extending 17th wimbledon quarter—final after a straight—sets win over italian matteo berrettini injust an hour and 14 minutes.
11:55 pm
after two days in brussels, the the tour de france has now moved next, india and new zealand will battle it out for a place in the final of the cricket world cup when they meet in tuesday's semi final at old trafford. we've been hearing from both captains. both teams are experienced enough to have played these games stop in new zealand were in the finals last time and they know how to play knockout games and they've had a wonderful world cup again. quality side. on the day, whichever team is more brave, and being calculated, that tea m brave, and being calculated, that team stands a better chance to win. whoever handles pressure better is the team that's going to come out on top. it isa it is a cricket match stop you do try to simplify things as best you can as a team and it comes back to the cricket we want to play, how we're to adapt to conditions. both
11:56 pm
sides are going to put each other under pressure and when that happens, it's going to be a real challenge so both sides are looking to do that stop looking forward to that one. that's all the sport for now. this time last year we were in a run of five days with temperatures above 30 celsius somewhere in the uk. great news if you don't like heat like that because we are not getting that soon. a mixed week with high pressure squeezed to the south and rain bearing weather fronts to the north and this is how we start tuesday morning. damp in scotland, northern ireland and northern england in particular as this weather system moves on through. this is how we are at 8am, may heavier bursts in parts of scotland. not wet everywhere but you can see the chance of seeing some rain as you head out on tuesday morning. some of that fringing parts of north wales, midlands and may be pushing on to east anglia but quite light
11:57 pm
and patchy here. south of that, starting dry. may be a few bright or sunny spells. don't expect a huge amount of sunshine at wimbledon, the slight chance of a shower but otherwise a dry day for a full day's play. this is the rest of tuesday. scotland, northern ireland and northern england seeing most of the rain at times and we could have this area of heavy rain coming back across parts of northern ireland, the central belt of southern scotla nd the central belt of southern scotland and northern england in the afternoon and south of that, a lot of dry weather and sunshine in cornwall, devon and the channel islands and a few spots reaching the high 20s. drier for a islands and a few spots reaching the high 20s. drierfor a time on tuesday night, another weather system heading in from the west, again to parts of northern ireland, northern england and scotland. warmer night going into wednesday morning and more humid through the week. on wednesday, this next spell of rain pushes east and we could see something further south in eastern england during the morning and then sunny spells in england and wales,
11:58 pm
brighter spells in scotland and northern ireland and a a few showers following here. on thursday, some quite slow—moving, heavy and thundery downpours in parts of northern ireland, northern scotland and northern england. not everyone will see them but where you do, their could be dug and showers moving from west to east in much of england and wales through thursday. —— thunder and showers the mid—20s generally. showers easing through the weekend as the weather turns a bit quieter once again.
