week goes on, as low pressure takes over, more southerly track of the jetstrea m over, more southerly track of the jetstream is coming right towards us, carrying low pressure, it may feel a little bit cooler and bringing some cloud and outbreaks of rain showers. so that's the big change in the weather next week, after a fine start, high—pressure giving way to low pressure, turning more wet and breezy, and bridges coming down closer to average and it looks like there is more unsettled weather which is going to be in charge as we go into the following weekend, but we will keep an eye on that in the next weather for the week ahead.
11:32 pm
hello. this is bbc news with martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first the headlines. scotla nd scotland yard launches a criminal investigation after it is confirmed sir kim darroch had branded the trump white house inept and incompetent in a lead of his memos. two men battling to win the tory leadership contest face questioning. borisjohnson leadership contest face questioning. boris johnson admits his leadership contest face questioning. borisjohnson admits his comments could have played a part in the british ambassador‘s resignation. was it a factor in his resignation? he said what somebody had relate to him would certainly be a factor. jeremy hunt has been questioned about the october 31 deadline for britain to leave the eu. is there any chance we could still go into 2020 and still be a member of the eu? i don't believe so, no. but you don't rule it out? i don't believe that would be the case. this is why
11:33 pm
people don't really trust you on this. in a bbc exclusive theresa may reflects on her time in office with laura kuenssberg. i think it will be mixture of pride at having done the job but also a degree of disappointments, because there was more that i've wanted to do.l disappointments, because there was more that i've wanted to do. a man is sentenced to life in prison after repeatedly stabbing a 51—year—old father to death on a train in front of his 14—year—old son. a special report from el salvador, where campaigners say strict abortion laws mean women are jailed even after having miscarriages and stillbirths. what a contest. roger federer comes out on top against rafael nadal at wimbledon. we will play novak djokovic in the men's singles final.
11:34 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster john stapleton, and kate proctor, political correspondent at the evening standard. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. borisjohnson boris johnson saying borisjohnson saying brexit boris johnson saying brexit would borisjohnson saying brexit would be insane. the daily telegraph reports that scotland yard threatens to prosecute anyone who leaks diplomatic correspondence. that story liz the guardian as well. a criminal investigation is launched into the leak. tomorrow's financial times says thomas cook has lined up a £750 million rescue deal with its largest shareholder after revealing plans to restructure the business. and ministers are to just guidelines
11:35 pm
as to how much sleep we should get, according to the times. the papers is growing evidence of the health impacts of a lack of sleep. a35—year—old man who had been blind for more than a quarter of a century tells the mailing was overjoyed at seeing his wife and children for the first time since medic —— after medical advances inside loss. and ed sheeran suffers from social anxiety, according to the sun, saying that global stardom makes him feel like an animal in a zoo. we will start with the daily express and boris, brexit delays. it follows the interviews andrew neil conducted with mrjohnson and jeremy hunt this evening. today we have the latest outing in the leadership debates. we had borisjohnson outing in the leadership debates. we had boris johnson and jeremy outing in the leadership debates. we had borisjohnson and jeremy hunt interviewed. it was quite fractious
11:36 pm
for borisjohnson. i would not say he struggled. but he found it quite a difficult interview, i think. he tried to hammer home that message, which is saying over and over again, that britain will leave the eu on the 31st of october. he has said before, he has said do or die. he has been very confident about actually being able to make this happen and now he is saying any delay would be absolutely insane. but he never really answered the question. come on, if you are on the edge of a deal on october 31, just that far away, are you going to walk away from it? he did not answer that question. so i think he's maybe just givena question. so i think he's maybe just given a little bit of a chink of light into his possible meandering around that point. i think he is just trying to leave enough open that there might have to be a delay. i think he is saying, in his view, anyway, it would be stupid to do anything other than set a deadline. whereasjeremy anything other than set a deadline. whereas jeremy hunt was much
11:37 pm
anything other than set a deadline. whereasjeremy hunt was much more... he tries to say he is the pragmatist and realist in all of this and he was saying it might be up until christmas, a delay might be up until then. still saying he thinks he could deliver it faster than boris johnson. i was the whole thing, as you did, it was great television, congratulations to andrew neil who was frantic in his examination of them. neither of them really addressed how they are going to prise open these negotiations, where eve ryo ne prise open these negotiations, where everyone you hear from prise open these negotiations, where everyone you hearfrom in prise open these negotiations, where everyone you hear from in the use says it is all over. and there is very little time ——in the eu. with regard to deadlines, remember march 29? laughter and april eight, and october 31. that is why a lot of people in my opinion have lost faith in them to deliver this. but it is very hard to do. very hard to get any deal to stick because of parliament and a loss of antipathy towards no deal.
11:38 pm
there seems to be this feeling that the eu will bend and it will take a certain individual to go over there and they can unlock things in a way theresa may wasn't able to. i will be fascinated to see if they can pull that off. i don't feel as though they can. you have to look optimistically. you have to be super optimistically. you have to be super optimistic and happen. that is what boris said. he had a go at the bbc. saying it had been a profit of doom and gloom saying it is not possible. the other thing that emerged in this interview is, of course, the revelation from boris, kind of a semi— admission from borisjohnson, that was boris, borisjohnson, that actually what he, his failure to actually what he, his failure to actually support our ambassador to washington was at least a contributing factor towards his resignation. there is a great debate as to whether our ambassador in washington actually saw this interview. i was led to believe that he had been watching this on television and when boris failed to
11:39 pm
back him that was the final straw. boris... mrjohnson said... said he spoke to him the next day and he hadn't seen it and the information he got about the broadcast on itv was misleading and it made a wrong impression about what mrjohnson had done or not. it is all about context and quotes. it moves us neatly onto the next story. thank you so much, john stapleton. scotland yard wants overly of secrets, publishers will face prosecution if diplomatic ca bles face prosecution if diplomatic cables are released in print or online. this could have a chilling effect, as the lawyers would say. this is a warning that has gone up from one of the most senior figures in the amount, if you are a publisher and you happen to get hold of leaks, if you get these diplomatic cables, the ones that potentially risk breaching state
11:40 pm
secrets, then you could be at risk of prosecution. and it seems like such a dramatic... heavy-handed. definitely a heavy— handed such a dramatic... heavy-handed. definitely a heavy—handed thing. such a dramatic... heavy-handed. definitely a heavy— handed thing. the introduction of the story you have mps that saying a measure like this risks britain becoming a police state. this assistant police commissioner is entitled to his opinion. he is saying that who leak will be prosecuted. but you could also be prosecuted for publishing the secrets. what came out of the washington ambassador was not a secret, it was an internal memo. washington ambassador was not a secret, it was an internal memom was an opinion. and diplomatically was an opinion. and diplomatically was embarrassing and led to his resignation. it is a point of view that has been exposed by thousands of people in books and newspapers and the general public. it clearly goes beyond that because mr basu
11:41 pm
says he believes there has been damage caused to the uk international relations. he states he goes beyond embarrassment. international relations. he states he goes beyond embarrassmentm international relations. he states he goes beyond embarrassment. it is not an official secret, is it? also the day when newspapers are prosecuted for publishing information like that which we saw from the uk ambassador is when you say that is the end of democracy and the free press. when you have legs like this they also revealing, they have revealing about the relationship between the uk and donald trump. we learned a great deal about this leak and you have mr basu saying to the multi— tone in and face the consequences —— the mole. it will be interesting to see who the mole was who was behind it. what is the motivation for it as well? absolutely. speculation. the y
11:42 pm
is always the fascinating part. was it all schemed by someone who had theirjob on the part of ambassador in washington? —— why. theirjob on the part of ambassador in washington? -- why. heathrow staff plot summer staff chaos. which will, of course, make a lot of families worry about setting off on holiday if they will get tied up in it. we have the story here. the trade union relates, 4000 staff planning to hold strikes on two of the airport. the first weekend of the airport. the first weekend of the summer holidays. also the august bank holiday. thousands and thousands of people travelling through heathrow could potentially have their holidays disrupted. chris grayling, the transport secretary, saying whatever the rights and wrongs are of this dispute, which i understand is about pay, there is no
11:43 pm
justification for ruining people's holidays. like any strike, it is maximum disruption. they have chosen those weekends for a reason, the most amount of chaos. it caused the greatest amount of... it gives them leveraged. and a guaranteed front page. matt has chosen it as a subject for the cartoon. as people loaded with luggage, standing at a desk, with a poster behind saying strike info and the man behind the deskis strike info and the man behind the desk is saying, "i hope your summer holiday will be before christmas, but i'm not going to set any arbitrary date." we should love. if that was us with our kids for 12 hours waiting for a flight we would be livid. —— shouldn't laugh. maximum impact. that is the time of year they are going to do it. they didn't realise it would be up to 250,000 people per day go through heathrow. over six days it would be more than a million people. i'm a
11:44 pm
bit puzzled by where we are with timing. so why need to... we are not ina timing. so why need to... we are not in a rush. i think sport might be... we just lost three minutes there. you can't hear what is going on in my head. but it is confusing. you can't hear what is going on in my head. but it is confusingm will be the same. sport is champing at the bit to say something. the ft, at the bit to say something. the ft, a quick look at this while we are talking about this. thomas cook lines up to rescue, 750 million quid from their biggest investor.‘ lines up to rescue, 750 million quid from their biggest investor. a sad day. probably the oldest package holiday company in the country. you know something about them? we have done this before. i know we his first package deal was. a train trip from leicester. and it is because i'm from leicestershire. a little bit of showing off. from our present. it is a sad day. it has been a great holiday company. it has opened up the world too many people
11:45 pm
stopped the first package holidays would never have dreamt in years gone by everything these foreign countries. still that famous name of the high street even in this era we re the high street even in this era were lots of people book holidays online. but they are saying to customers don't worry. they have this huge debt, £100 million debt pile, and they are saying that they have got this £750 million rescue package, from this chinese conglomerate, and part of this is to try and expand and create a new thomas cook china and expand the business in china. as i understand it, the chinese conglomerate takes over the holiday package company, there is two companies basically, and they are citing brexit, and they are citing the internet because people can get yourself. it is nice to have someone
11:46 pm
book it for you. come with me everybody, we're going to page two of the times, which is on my desk, and you can see it from the camera above us. have to be very careful what you write on the desk when you are in here because people can see above. teacher literacy and numeracy test face acts. this is notjust with children in schools, this is tests for people who want to become teachers. —— axe. tests for people who want to become teachers. -- axe. as i understand it, if the degree requirements are not exactly what was wanted, perhaps if someone got a 2—2, they would have to show that they had basic standards and numeracy and literacy, andl standards and numeracy and literacy, and i think for some specific teaching courses, that isjust standard across the board, you have to do this test to prove that you have the numeracy and literacy skills in order to be a teacher. in these tests have been quite troublesome for the teaching profession, and they are saying
11:47 pm
because recruitment is so difficult in the profession that they are going to scrap these tests, because they are putting people off, people are failing them and it is putting them off, and i think once, if you fail them them off, and i think once, if you failthem a them off, and i think once, if you fail them a few times you actually can't go back again. it has fully ended the careers... does this mean you will have teachers who are not sufficiently literate and sufficiently literate and sufficiently numerous. is a relatively basic standard of test that people would need to pass, sol think it is a level of english and maths, perhaps a little bit lower. so you would expect your teachers to have that, but i think in some cases, teachers are more rounded than that, and for example, if you are an art teacher, do you really need to show that you have the numeracy skills at that level? i just think teaching...” numeracy skills at that level? i just think teaching. .. i was always mad at my teachers for being lousy at maths. crosstalk.
11:48 pm
mad at my teachers for being lousy at maths. crosstalki mad at my teachers for being lousy at maths. crosstalk. ithink mad at my teachers for being lousy at maths. crosstalk. i think some people would feel that teachers certainly have a wider skills that and perhaps if they have not been able to pass those tests... parents wa nt to able to pass those tests... parents want to know that there — are being taught by people with basic skills... it depends what you're being taught. i am not allowed to express an opinion. see me after. the times front page, "public will be advised how much sleep to get in alcohol style guidelines". john, are you getting enough sleep? seven hours at least you are supposed to have. i can sleep on a clothesline, when the bomb went off in brighton i was ina when the bomb went off in brighton i was in a hotel, and i slept through it. i know people who cannot, don't sleep terribly well, including my wife. the accusation will be a course that this is the nanny state telling us where and how to sleep, whatever next, but when you read the story actually, which is based on
11:49 pm
good scientific evidence, i have forgotten the name of the organisation, it is based on good scientific evidence which says that lack of sleep can lead to some really serious problems like diabetes, like dementia, all sorts of things. i never imagined. so there is a case for educating people how to sleep and went to sleep and they would be doing it for different age groups. we all feel better when we have a decent regularly. age groups. we all feel better when we have a decent regularlym age groups. we all feel better when we have a decent regularly. it feels like quite an extreme move by the government to intervene and see this asa government to intervene and see this as a public health matter that they have decided to try and legislate, draw upa have decided to try and legislate, draw up a green paper, and get a discussion going about the long—term impact of sleep. i assume this is because the health problems connected with a lack of sleep have —— lack of sleep have a long—term impact on me nhs. we are in —— talk about increased risk of obesity,
11:50 pm
heart attacks, depression, diabetes. some of these are huge cost burdens oi'i some of these are huge cost burdens on the nhs, sol some of these are huge cost burdens on the nhs, so i assume it is an early preventative bit of work from health secretary matt hancock and thatis health secretary matt hancock and that is backed up here by some very chilling things about, if you don't sleep well, it has such a detrimental impact on your health. how it can possibly be enforced or really adhered to in any way as an individual, it is hard, but it says that in hospitals they might try and... stop nurses coming in at 4am to give you medicine stop but what about people like margaret thatcher of course, who only slipped four hours a day. it's as if you think that you are not affected by only having five hours sleep a night, thatis having five hours sleep a night, that is probably sleep deprived brain falling year. we have the five a day on fruit and veg which is kind of drummed into people now, so... we will get used to it. i would just like to know how you do it when you
11:51 pm
work and socialise. we know about that. we wouldn't be anywhere else, we are glad to wreck our circadian rhythms to bring you the papers. finally, point taken on the front of the times, roger federer, victorious after beating raphel nadal to reach the 12th wimbledon men's singles final. fantastic achievement by federal, 37 years old against a 33—year—old opponent, it was perhaps a little bit easier than many had expected. some great tennis, i saw the first few sets, great rallies, and great excitement. sir david attenborough and the crowd, rod labour as well, everyone enjoying every single minute of it. looking forward to a fantastic sunday, the final is on sunday, so to the world cup cricket... and the grand prix. and a lot of it is free to view.
11:52 pm
good old channel 4 and abc. we are celebrating free to air. that's it for the papers tonight. the voices in my head drive you insane. 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. goodbye. john stapleton, kate proctor, lovely to see you, go and buy a paper in the morning, we don't mind which one. now go to bed, get your seven hours. hello, i'm ben croucher with a roundup of the day's news from the bbc sport centre.
11:53 pm
and only one place to start, and one man to talk about really. wimbledon and roger federer. he's into a 12th singles final at the all england club after a memorable semifinal against rafa nadal. to win for a ninth time though, he'll need to beat the defending champion novak djokovic. andy swiss reports. time once again for the roger and rafa show. the anticipation on centre court was deafening, and they didn't disappoint. federer edged the first set, before nadal stormed the second. it was magical, mesmeric stuff. from there, though, federer seized control. at 37, his poise, seemingly as peerless as ever. but the real drama was yet to come. four times, federer had match point, but dizzyingly, nadal defied him. good heavens! federer‘s wife, mirka, could barely watch, until this.
11:54 pm
what a contest. federer into his 12th final, but only after a quite breathtaking battle. i'm exhausted. it was tough at the end. rafa played some unbelievable shots to stay in the match and you know, i thought the match was played at a very high level and i enjoyed it. he'll now face the defending champion. novak djokovic's opponent, roberto bautista agut, was meant to be on his stag do in ibiza today. and, for the first set, probably wished he still was. that's fantastic. but who needs a beach party when you've got centre court? brilliantly, bautista agut levelled it up, but his hopes of a shock were soon dashed, djokovic roaring into another final. but one title here has already been decided, and it has a british champion. andy lapthorne and his australian partner dylan alcott, victorious in the
11:55 pm
wheelchair doubles. as wimbledon comes to a close this weekend, the netball world cup is getting up and running. day one today and the first set of group games at the liverpool arena, commonwealth champions england played uganda in their opener. not as one sided as some of the matches today but england came through winning 64—32. uganda were down to six players in the final quarter as stella oyella was sent off. scotland are seventh in the world rankings so will be aiming for the quarter finals at least. they're in the same group as england and were involved in a close one with samoa but have pulled away after the first quarter — winning 53—35. what of the other home nation then? well, not so good. northern ireland were thrashed by australia this morning. the defending champions were ruthless in an 88—24 win. mercedes look like the team to beat at this weekend's british grand prix. good news for lewis hamilton then, chasing a sixth win at silverstone but he's got to beat teammate valtteri bottas first.
11:56 pm
the finnish driver was narrowly faster than hamilton second practice. ferrari and red bull weren't too far behind though. defending champion geraint thomas stayed out of trouble to preserve his fifth place after stage 7 of the tour de france. dutchman dylan groenewegen — in the yellow and black on the right — pipped his rivals in the sprint finish. all the main contenders, including thomas, finished in the peloton. he says the next couple of hilly stages over the weekend will be tough. 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. from me and the rest of the team — have a great weekend. good evening, it has been a warm, humid feeling weak, with some heavy showers around as well. we still have one or two showers on the cards but through the weekend the showers
11:57 pm
are going to ease away and things will turn fresher. largely dry with some sunshine, just the odd isolated shower, particularly on saturday, most of the showers should ease away by sunday. we have this big area of high pressure moving in from the west, that will squeeze away any of those isolated showers. the rest of the overnight period, clear spells out there, someone drizzly rain across eastern scotland and parts of eastern england two, clear skies further south, not quite as muggy as it has been over recent nights. averages first thing saturday sitting at around 12— 14 degrees for most of us. sadly starts off with that largely dry note with a lot of cloud from the word go but the cloud will tend to thin and break, particularly further south, as things warm up there will be showers, particular through central and eastern scotland, through the pennines into the midlands and one oi’ pennines into the midlands and one or two reading the south—east of england as well for plenty of spells of sunshine either side of that, and temperatures in the sunshine getting to about 23—24 in the south, low 20s further north. the championships
11:58 pm
continue this weekend, finals weekend at wimbledon, just a small outside chance of a shower on saturday, should be dry by sunday. if you are heading through sunday, second half of the weekend will be the driest half, we are still expecting one or two isolated showers at this time further west. a breeze coming off the north sea making it feel cool of the eastern scotla nd making it feel cool of the eastern scotland on the east coast of england, as this weather towards the west or south—west, around 23 degrees in cardiff. lots of sport happening this weekend, should be dry for the british grand prix at silverstone on sunday, quite cloudy, north—easterly breeze, 19 degrees and a similar picture for the cricket world cup, also on sunday at lords. largely dry, good sunshine and a settled breeze. that comes into the start of the working week, but things get more unsettled from midweek onwards. just looking at what is happening on the other side of the atlantic tropical storm barry is strengthening in the gulf of

mexico, that is likely to make la ndfall mexico, that is likely to make landfall during saturday morning in louisiana, perhaps bringing over 600 millimetres of rain, that could cause some serious flooding across some of the central gulf coast states. we a re some of the central gulf coast states. we are keeping a close eye on what is happening there in the gulf of mexico, but you can always find more details on that as well as a full find more details on that as well as afull uk find more details on that as well as a full uk forecast on the bbc 00:29:20,176 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 weather website.
