rare phenomenon, according to meteorologist. speaking of meteorologists, let's get a weather update for you now. monday was st swithun‘s day and if you believe the folklore, that means that weather you had on monday will be the same for the next a0 days. i don't think that's going to happen because there are some changes afoot in the forecast for the week ahead. 0n the satellite, you can see various clumps of cloud swarming in the atlantic and ready to move in oui’ the atlantic and ready to move in our direction, frontal systems approaching as the week wears on and you can see the first one dangling in on tuesday but for most, high pressure holds firm. that front will be weakening all the while as it goes east, just providing extra moisture which could kick off showers in most places on tuesday afternoon but for the majority, and sunny day and a slightly warmer day, especially in eastern areas. 25 in hull, 26 in london. moving out of
11:31 pm
tuesday into wednesday, here comes oui’ tuesday into wednesday, here comes our next frontal system and this one will have more life about it and noticed the high pressure retreating eastwards. the further south and eastwards. the further south and east you are, better chance of staying dry with sunshine and may be the odd shower but further north and west, they could thunder a and heavy rain in western scotland and northern ireland with heavy winds and it will start to cool off in western areas. further south and east, especially england and wales, once again into the 20s. 25 or possibly 26. on thursday, we push this wet weather further east and behind that we all get into something a bit cooler and fresher with a mixture of sunshine and showers. may be hefty showers in the far north—west but those temperatures showing signs of dipping away. as we head to the end of the working week, here's another frontal system and this one will not only bring wet weather but it could
11:32 pm
bring potentially quite windy weather for the time of year. uncertainty about exactly how friday will shape up but it looks like we'll see heavy and possibly thundery rain pushing in from the south—west, accompanied by pretty brisk winds so worth bearing in mind if you have outdoor plans for the end of the week. those temperatures, a little bit down for some but signs of something a little more humid starting to show its hand again down towards the south. into saturday, we push some showers or longer spells rain further east and likely to drier and brighter weather behind. but temperatures climbing to the south—east, 2a25. into next week, looks like the jetstream will wake up. the winds high up in the atmosphere will blow quite strongly across the atlantic, spinning up areas of low pressure and it looks like those areas will push to the north—west of the uk always close by to the near continent. this weather
11:33 pm
setup could bring us some warm air and the air could be coming from close to the caribbean through next week, so feeling warm and quite moist. that will make it feel quite humid. remember, those areas of low pressure are likely to be passing close to the north—west of the uk, so that's where we have the greatest chance of rain. some uncertainty about where the high and low pressure will end up, but it could potentially be one for a time next week and quite humid. the wettest and windiest where they're likely to be in the north—west. dry weather for a0 days, i think not, but there could some warm weather on the way.
11:34 pm
hello again. you're watching bbc news with me, ben brown and we will look at the papers in a moment but first, the latest headlines: england's world cup winning cricket tea m england's world cup winning cricket team has met the prime minister at downing street tonight as they continue their celebrations. the four democratic congresswomen who were told to go back to where they came from my president donald trump have accused him of openly violating his oath ‘s and american values. in pioneering surgery, doctors in london have successfully separated twin girls who were born joined at the head. a serial thief who targeted victims through gay dating apps has been found guilty of murdering a businessman with the an overdose of
11:35 pm
the sex drug ghb. welcome to our look ahead at what's in tomorrow's newspapers and with me in the studio we have the deputy political editor of the guardian, marina mason, and deputy political editor of the daily mail, john stevens. thanks for being with us. these are the front pages, most are already in. will start with the times, which leads on condemnation from both conservative party leadership rivals, boris johnson from both conservative party leadership rivals, borisjohnson and jeremy hunt, of donald trump's tweets where he told the four american congresswomen from minority backgrounds to go back to where they came from. the telegraph features a report which suggests white middle—aged bossesin which suggests white middle—aged bosses in the armed forces are out of touch, as unacceptable levels of sexism, racism and bullying are
11:36 pm
exposed in the military. in the daily mail, there is a warning unborn children are at risk of being pre— polluted by poisonous chemicals in everyday household items that can reach infants via breastmilk and even the womb. the metro has a crackdown on electric scooters as their lead story, as owners are ordered to keep them off the streets after one woman died and a teenager was left critical in separate crashes. the guardian has borisjohnson being strongly criticised for arguing that islam has caused the muslim world to be literally centuries behind the west, that's all from an essay he wrote almost a decade ago that she more than. the financial times, alan turing, second world war code breaker, chosen to appear on the new £50 banknote as the bank of england celebrates britain's historic scientific achievements. let's start with john. let's start
11:37 pm
with the cricket. the mirror, this is what it feels like to be on top of the world, they say. it's been such a wonderful world cup for england, such an amazing game and tonight they were all in downing street. yes. we've got ben stokes saying what an incredible feeling to have won the cricket world cup and this afternoon they saw theresa may and it looks like they may be honoured. theresa may finishes next week and traditionally the outgoing prime minister has a resignation honours list. they will all be knighted? we don't know that but theresa may is a big cricket fan and she was there at the weekend, so if there's any prime minister that will give them honours, it is theresa may. and may be sports personality of the year. will there be an impact from this? this was on terrestrial, seen by millions, so the hope is that will rub off on younger
11:38 pm
generations and kids at school, both genders, wanting to learn cricket? when you've got a world cup winning team, there is an impact on youngsters thinking that could be me in decades to come. that's one of the points theresa may made at this reception. she said 8 million people watched it on terrestrial television, and she wanted youngsters to be inspired to pick up a bat and play cricket for the first time. she doesn't have much longer in downing street, so it isjeremy hunt or boris johnson, in downing street, so it isjeremy hunt or borisjohnson, and they've been having another debate tonight and according to the sun, love and peace has broken out between the two of them. not sure about that! i think the start of the debate was quite testy. jeremy hunt said boris johnson is someone that puts a smile on yourface but johnson is someone that puts a smile on your face but not someone you wa nt on your face but not someone you want getting into the nitty—gritty and details, so not quite the love then... not quite everything's perfect. but obviously next week one of these people is going to be leader and it looks likely to be borisjohnson, so
11:39 pm
leader and it looks likely to be boris johnson, so possiblyjeremy hunt is limiting his attacks because he wants to stay in the cabinet. that's a bit of a confusing, misleading headline. sounds like he has grown in the towel.|j misleading headline. sounds like he has grown in the towel. i certainly don't think he's done that yet, but there's an element, asjohn says, of looking ahead to one week's time where there has to be a winner and what was interesting was jeremy hunt committed to having borisjohnson in his cabinet, boris johnson committed to having borisjohnson in his cabinet, borisjohnson decided not to return the favour and refused to sayjeremy not to return the favour and refused to say jeremy hunt not to return the favour and refused to sayjeremy hunt would be able to stay as foreign secretary, or even have a minor cabinet job stay as foreign secretary, or even have a minor cabinetjob at stay as foreign secretary, or even have a minor cabinet job at all. stay as foreign secretary, or even have a minor cabinetjob at all. if there was a loving then it was pretty one—sided, although they did ta ke pretty one—sided, although they did take a more conciliatory tone —— love in. felt a bit less combo to at times and jeremy hunt was less rude about borisjohnson times and jeremy hunt was less rude about boris johnson —— times and jeremy hunt was less rude about borisjohnson —— combative. and they had a pact not to talk over each other. not all peace and harmony but they agreed on a few
11:40 pm
things, including a harder brexit position, saying they both completely drunk the northern irish backstop. the times, their front page is... tory rivals taking aim at donald trump and theresa may earlier in the days that his comments about these four congresswomen were com pletely these four congresswomen were completely unacceptable. so theresa may having a go at donald trump. and borisjohnson, who we are told is friends with donald trump, also having a go at him. and jeremy hunt close to donald trump, we saw on the state visit over here, jeremy hunt welcomed him off the plane as foreign secretary and he spent a lot of time with him so both trying to build this relationship with donald trump in case they become the next prime minister. when trump makes comments like this it is difficult for them, because they want to be shown to be criticising but they have to balance that because we know what happens, with kim darroch, the us ambassador to the —— british
11:41 pm
ambassador to the us, when trump found out what privately he said about him he got really angry. he doesn't have the thickest of skins. 0ne doesn't have the thickest of skins. one of these men is going to be prime ministerfrom next one of these men is going to be prime minister from next week and they want a trade deal with the us and they want to build relations. while both said what he said was unacceptable, neither were willing to say he is racist. what do you make from those comments —— of those comments from both tory contenders, are they trying to be honest? theresa may came out this morning and said the comments were completely unacceptable. boris johnson and jeremy hunt took all day to think about it and at the hustings debate tonight, they decided to echo her words and say it's unacceptable. boris johnson decided to echo her words and say it's unacceptable. borisjohnson i think said that kind of language we nt think said that kind of language went out decades and decades ago and jeremy hunt said he would be appalled if anyone said that about his half chinese daughters. they we re his half chinese daughters. they were critical, and that's a bold move in itself, because asjohn said, they are trying to build
11:42 pm
relations with the us but they didn't take the further step to say the tweets were racist. speaking of comments that are old, ora speaking of comments that are old, or a view years old, your paper, rowena, has borisjohnson and some comments he made about islam, keeping the muslim world centuries behind the west. from an essay he wrote more than ten years ago. part ofa wrote more than ten years ago. part of a series we're doing at the guardian, called the real boris johnson, looking at various periods in his careerand johnson, looking at various periods in his career and things he said and examining his attitudes and arguments. what one of my colleagues found is in 2007 he wrote an essay appended to the back of a book he wrote saying islam has caused the muslim world to be centuries behind the west and there was a sense of muslim grievance that was a factor in every conflict he could think of and this has been criticised by
11:43 pm
quite a few muslim groups, saying it's unacceptable and saying that he should disavow these comments. the series is called the real boris johnson. in a nutshell, what is the real boris johnson? he knows various different types of boris johnson we've seen over the years. he was a brussels bashing journalist for a while. he wrote some very controversial things when he was editor of the spec later, or at least oversaw them, and then when he was the london mayor he pivoted to a more liberal figure and then he was a pro—brexit and eu bashing figure. what do you think is the real boris johnson? he's like a chameleon and a view years ago, as marina said, we thought was was the tory who could reach voters that other tories couldn't —— few years. since the referendum he's become quite a
11:44 pm
divisive figure, and there's lots of people around the country who wouldn't normally back a tory but they want someone tough in charge of brexit. but there's others on the other side quite against boris johnson. your paper has toxic threat to babies in the womb, unborn children according to a report at risk of being pre— polluted because of poisonous chemicals in ordinary household furniture and electrical goods. this is a report from mps.l committee of mps on the commons environmental audit committee. they're looking at how these chemicals in normal bits of furniture, chemicals that are flame reta rda nt, furniture, chemicals that are flame retardant, because they have become quite strong, the quantities in them can get into breastmilk and people's blood streams and can be quite damaging and dangerous and it's talking about how britain has such a high level of flame retardant
11:45 pm
chemicals on its materials that there's concerns it could cause cancer and disrupt hormones. but you need flame retardant on furniture and so on. of course. one of the recommendations from the committee is calling for a reduction in the amount of those flame retardant chemicals. the daily telegraph, rowena, they have a story about military chiefs being out of touch on issues of race, sex and so on. that's right. this is an in—depth study and they found there's an unacceptable level of inappropriate behaviour in the armed forces. this is another area of public life that's come in for criticism. we've seen it in show business and politics. these expose as of bullying, sexual harassment and racism —— exposes. it seems to be the turn of the military. they're
11:46 pm
trying to get their house in order and this report has come out with recommendations about more diversity training needed. everybody from brigadier upwards has to have diversity training. wonder what they'll make of that! i'm not sure they'll make of that! i'm not sure they will enjoy it! they're saying in here that a lot of these people who are guilty of these things deemed inappropriate, they're not doing it maliciously, but it's because they don't have a level of understanding or education that these things need to know these are not acceptable to say. it's giving them the training to know what to say. there is also a story in the telegraph about smart metres that are speaking welsh, or reading welsh, or coming up with welsh... the daily telegraph has found a numberof the daily telegraph has found a number of cases where smartmeters in household in england have started showing in welsh —— households. very
11:47 pm
confusing for those people. smartmeters in wales are coming up with english? maybe! everybody is very confused! exactly! my local supermarket, in england, obviously, but for a time they had the wrong signs up so all the signs in the fruit and veg aisles were welsh. you don't speak welsh? yellow i don't, no! the metro has a story about electric scooters. it's a very tragic story. —year—old died after her e—scooter was involved in a collision and there was another case the next day where a boy aged ia suffered a serious head injury. the transport and a star, michael ellis, has come out and said that these e—scooters are actually banned on public roads and pavements. they shouldn't be used, and not everyone knows that.
11:48 pm
and they go 30 mph, potentially. so they looked quite fun, they look like something you might want to have a go on, but they can be quite dangerous. and you don't have to pedal. i think that is why you can go so quickly. that is a surprise. i have seen them quite a lot on the streets of london, and they are banned from the roads, pavements and cycle lanes. it doesn't seem you can use them anywhere other than private property, so it begs the question why they are being sold so widely. is they need to be more action against them, do you think? you might think after these incidents that ministers might look at taking tougher action. if this happens, than i imagine they will think again. now, the new £50 note, there has been a lot of speculation about who would be the face of that. has been a lot of speculation about who would be the face of thatm has been a lot of speculation about who would be the face of that. it is going to be alan turing, who
11:49 pm
obviously helped break the enigma code. i can't remember the last time i had code. i can't remember the last time ihada code. i can't remember the last time i had a £50 note. i am sure you have a few i had a £50 note. i am sure you have afew in i had a £50 note. i am sure you have a few in your wallet. a well—paid journalist like you at the daily mail. we have seen them refreshing the note, they have gone to these polymer notes, we have churchill on the £5 note, and alan turing on the £50 note. it is rather wonderful, because he was an amazing figure, a very tragic figure, in many ways, because i think he was ai when he took his own life, having been sort of criminalised over his homosexuality, and yet he was a codebreaker who helped to end the war. really uplifting story that he has been chosen as the new face of the £50 note, because as this article says, he died as a pariah because of his homosexuality, and he
11:50 pm
was actually given a royal pardon in 2016, relatively recently. it is lovely to think that now he will be on this £50 note and remembered. we we re on this £50 note and remembered. we were just watching the report about it, and he was featured in that film the imitation game, with benedict cumberbatch playing him. he has become a more well—known public figure, partly because of that film and partly because of the pardon, and partly because of the pardon, and this helps restore his place in the canon. and do you like this idea of putting famous figures, not a lwa ys of putting famous figures, not always famous, but people who have made amazing achievements in the world of science and so on, on our banknotes? i think it is quite nice that they are refreshing who is on the banknotes and changing it, and it is great to learn more about people like this. who knows who will be on the £50 notes in the future, if there will be £50 notes in the
11:51 pm
future. that's it for tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it is therefore you seven days a week. and, if you missed the programme any evening you can always see it later on bbc iplayer. 0ur thanks to our guest, and it is good buy from all of us. —— guests. hello there. the england cricket team visited downing street following their world cup triumph yesterday. they attended a reception hosted by the prime minister. theresa may, who is a big cricket fan, also attended the lord's final yesterday, when england beat new zealand by the narrowest of margins. the last time an england cricket squad was invited to number ten was the ashes squad in 2005.
11:52 pm
england's netballers have taken a big step towards the world cup semi—finals in liverpool. their first match in the second group stage of the tournament was a tough one. jamaica are ranked higher than them, but the roses won 56—a8. they will secure a spot in the last four if they beat trinidad and tobago on wednesday. the sunshine girls now need other results to go their way if they are to progress. we knew this was going to be a tough game, four games we knew this was going to be a tough game, fourgames in we knew this was going to be a tough game, four games in a row. we knew jamaica after yesterday were going to be coming for this win, so we knew this was going to be probably one of the toughest games of this round. so yes, i am one of the toughest games of this round. so yes, iam really one of the toughest games of this round. so yes, i am really pleased with the girls, and you talk about heroes on the court, and i think we had seven of the court today, and four on the bench. —— seven on the court. the semis are beyond scotland, after a third defeat in a row. they lost to south africa 66—38 and are bottom of their group.
11:53 pm
the south africans have moved level on points, with england at the top. in the other group, northern ireland lost to malawi. it has been a good day for the defending champion, geraint thomas, at the tour de france. he moved up to second in the overall standings after a dramatic finish to stage ten. thomas had started the 218 km stage from saint—flour to albi in fifth, but benefited from a late break in the peloton that caught some riders offguard. belgian wout van aert went on to win the race in a sprint finish, while thomas is still over a minute behind overall leaderjulian alaphilippe. the first groupings have been announced for the open, which gets under way at portrush on thursday. home favourite rory mcilroy will play with the new us open champion, gary woodland, and england's paul casey. tiger woods is with fellow american patrick reed and englishman matt wallace, whilst bryson dechambeau and the australian adam scott
11:54 pm
will play alongside the reigning champion, francesco molinari. he admits looking after the claretjug for the past 12 months has provided him with quite a few challenges. i was very, very careful with it, especially the first few weeks. so much so that i forgot on the plane not to forget the claret jug. they obviously had the priority, but we have had a couple of drinks out of it, and nothing out of the ordinary. we have small kids at home, so i had to keep it out of reach most of the time, to avoid disaster. tom daley and matty lee won bronze in the ten metre synchronised diving at the world aquatics championships in south korea. this is their first major honour as a pair, and it has also secured great britain a place in the event for next year's tokyo 0lympics. china took gold, with russia claiming silver.
11:55 pm
this world championship, the year before the olympic games, i've never actually been in the position where i have a synchronised partner the year before the olympics. i think maybe with pete, but we won't really up maybe with pete, but we won't really up on the metals like that. it was terrifying knowing that if we got a medal, it didn'tjust mean we were world medallists, but also had a spotin world medallists, but also had a spot in the olympic games for gigabits. so massive relief, and job done. —— team gb. the 29—year—old 12 league titles but only started 11 games in the league last season. and that is all your support for now. thanks a lot. well, as far as the weather has been
11:56 pm
today, we have had some bright and sunny spells around, but the weather is going to change subtly over the next 2a hours. this type of cloud you can see across western areas, thatis you can see across western areas, that is a weather front pushing eastwards. it is moving into high—pressure, so the front itself is weak and as we go through the next few hours we will start to see showers in northern ireland, moving into western scotland. 0ne showers in northern ireland, moving into western scotland. one or 2a0 wales, they will spin into north—west england, but otherwise are largely dry night across southern and eastern areas of england, eastern parts of scotland as well. quite mild overnight and a mild start today on tuesday. quite a bit of cloud in the sky, most of it quite thin and quite high up, so it should be a bright start with some sunny spells coming through. showers on and off in northern ireland and scotland, some of them turning quite heavy as the day goes by. later on to the afternoon, a shower or two expected across northern england, wales and the midlands as well. hot and humid in the south—east,
11:57 pm
otherwise temperatures generally low to mid 20s, feeling warm in any sunshine. further changes in the weather picture towards the middle pa rt weather picture towards the middle part of the week as low pressure begins to move in. although we start off on begins to move in. although we start offona begins to move in. although we start off on a dry note for eastern scotla nd off on a dry note for eastern scotland and throughout england and wales, with some morning sunshine, it clouds ever in the north—west. rain moves into northern ireland in the morning, spreading to scotland, western parts of wales, and with the cloud and rain, cooler weather, temperature is generally high teens but we still have some warmth across eastern scotland, central and eastern scotland, central and eastern parts of england, temperatures peeking into the mid—20s. for some of us, a warm couple of days coming up. however, as we head towards thursday, we see this cold front pushed its way eastwards, introducing fresh air across the uk. it won't be feeling quite as humid. rain will clear england and wales wallowing some sunshine in the afternoon, and further north and west in scotland and northern ireland, probably northern england as well, heavy showers developing through the day. temperatures high teens in northern areas, something a bit warmer hanging on into the far north—east.
11:58 pm
low pressure is again on the charts, this one, a bit of uncertainty how far north or south it will go. some models steer it into northern ireland and scotland, some into england and wales. so there is some uncertainty as to who will get the wettest weather through friday and into the weekend as well. but it is a generally unsettled theme with rain at times for a few of us and temperatures generally running into the high teens to low 20s. a warm couple of days coming up for some. it turns more unsettled through the rest of the week. that's your weather.
11:59 pm
