11:30 pm
course of the us through the course of the weekend, particularly on saturday. england and wales seeing the bulk of those showers, some thunderstorms likely. a bit of sunshine in between. things will quieten down from the west is a ridge of high pressure builds. largely driver northern ireland and the west of scotland, and those temperatures starting to creep up a few degrees compared to friday. into the second half of the weekend and what we have isa half of the weekend and what we have is a ridge of high pressure for a time taking hold for sunday, and then the next area of low pressure trying to move into the north—west. though i think sunday, on balance, probably the better day of the weekend for most of us. a lot of dry, sunny and reasonably warm weather with south—westerly breezes. some showers pushing across parts of northern ireland into the western half of scotland. elsewhere, not a bad day. sunny spells, south—westerly breezes, lifting those temperatures to 2324 degrees across england and wales. 20 or 21 for scotland and northern ireland. heading on into the new working week and for monday a bit of a north—south split. low pressure bringing a few showers across scotla nd bringing a few showers across scotland in particular but for much of the uk it is not a bad day. looking dry, sunny and you will notice that those temperatures are starting to rise. it will be hotting up starting to rise. it will be hotting up through the first part of this week. 27 or 28 degrees by the time
11:31 pm
week. 27 or 28 degrees by the time we get to monday. the reason for all this heat is that things are getting especially hot across central europe. for central france we could see those temperatures up about 40 degrees early next week and then we're going be drawing in those southerly winds, so those warm, humid conditions piling up towards uk through the course of monday into tuesday and wednesday, as well. it looks like those temperatures are going to be on the rise. tuesday a warm day across the uk, especially hot across the south—east. you will notice some blue on the map, range trying to work in from the west. that will be more of a player through the middle part of the week, but for tuesday itself we will see the peak of those high temperatures. 32 degrees in london. looking the other side of the atlantic, later next week we have quite a strong cold front pushing its way across the eastern seaboard of the usa. if we look at the jetstream, that cold front will put a pulse of rain across that jetstream, a front will put a pulse of rain across thatjetstream, a kink in the jetstrea m across thatjetstream, a kink in the jetstream driven by that pulse on the other side of the atlantic. that is going to mean more showers with low pressure moving across the uk and it leaves us on the northern side of the jetstream. so a cooler
11:32 pm
field to the weather by the end of next week. to summarise the weather over the next ten days or so, next week starts warm and settled. we will see some showers and thunderstorms are in the middle part of the week. after that looks like it turns a little bit cooler and once again more unsettled. goodbye.
11:33 pm
this is bbc news. we will be taking a look at the papers injust we will be taking a look at the papers in just a we will be taking a look at the papers injust a moment. the headlines: mps back a bid to stop an amendment going through to allow a no—deal brexit. president trump distances himself from that shunting of send her back about ilhan 0mar. and a man
11:34 pm
charged with the rape and murder of lucy mchugh. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are jack blanchard, from politico magazine, and rachel cunliffe from city am newspaper. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the metro leads with the approval of an amendment in the comments by a majority of 41 mps that would stop a new prime minister suspending parliament to force through a no—deal brexit. the show of support isa no—deal brexit. the show of support is a warning to the conservative favourite borisjohnson. the telegraph features criticism of philip hammond after he abstained
11:35 pm
from the vote in what is described asa from the vote in what is described as a total betrayal. and public sector workers will get a pay rise, including 2.5% for police officers and 2.75% for teachers and school staff. the mirror focuses on tv licenses saying that an increase in pension credit could cost the government twice as much as if they kept their license exemption for the over 75. and the daily mail dimension campaign showing a poll one in three people with dementia have been forced to sell their homes to pay for care. fairto fair to say brexit still dominates. sad to say. in the guardian, tory rebels sent stuck morning to boris johnson. mps backing this. it was a
11:36 pm
day of high drama in the commons. johnson. mps backing this. it was a day of high drama in the commonsm was. the last big vote of theresa may mahmoud abbas prime ministership. 0ne may mahmoud abbas prime ministership. one of the cabinet ministership. one of the cabinet ministers forgot to vote, others failed to support and she ended with a crushing defeat. this not about theresa may but about the next prime minister, probably boris johnson. parliament saying we are not meant to stand idly by while you do what you want. it is a shot across the bow, if he was in any doubt about the difficulties he will be facing. assuming he will be in. this was a much bigger majority than anyone was expecting. this was supposed to be a knife edge vote but in the end so many tory rebels voting against the government. a comfortable win. bad
11:37 pm
news for boris and sets what is going to be an interesting autumn when we see parliament battling with the prime minister throughout the next few months. i wonder how he will react to this. probably not at all. i do not think it is news to him orany hard all. i do not think it is news to him or any hard brexiteers. i am a little bit, i have to admit, hazy on the details given that parliament is trying to block a no deal, after the 315t of october, a default. i am not sure what parliament would be able to do everything prime minister tries to run at the clock. i guess we will find out. a lot of parliamentary mechanisms he could use. parliamentary mechanisms he could use. the parliamentary rulebook, that used to cost £320 is now free
11:38 pm
oi'i that used to cost £320 is now free on line so we could find out what they might attempt to do but i do not think this will change boris's strategy in any way. he knew he had a working majority of three and he is suspecting mass resignations from the cabinet. he knows there is not widespread support for the kind of brexit he is pushing. yes, it is a message but i think it is one we already knew. if this works, it means parliament will be sitting at certain point in the autumn what that something is we still do not know how they will try and stop this no deal. we're how imaginative they can be. this was about northern ireland and about how government reacts whether they are sitting or not. nothing to do with brexit these mps have got together and come up with a cunning plan and they have
11:39 pm
forced parliament to sit during the autumn. they have come up with a pretty sneaky way of trying to force the government's hand on brexit and we will see these imaginative measures coming back into the autumn when parliament returns. trying a nyway when parliament returns. trying anyway they can to find the prime minister's hand. who would have thought it from our mps! your paper, mps via warning shots atjohnson. you could have written that, jack. a picture of boris johnson you could have written that, jack. a picture of borisjohnson you might say looking worried. i am not sure. he would probably say not. it is a warning also pointing out that we have had our first resignation of a cabinet minister as a result of this. we will have some very likely
11:40 pm
before the next prime minister... margotjames, before the next prime minister... margot james, the junior minister you are talking about. yes. it is also interesting because a shout out to my colleague, bennett, michael gove, the drug use allegations, stories, which arouse his campaign and the reason it isjeremy hunt facing borisjohnson. michael gove was the first big brexiteer change. had it been michael gove, would it be so obvious that boris was going to be prime minister or would it have looked different, is it all on bennett's filed? michael gove and borisjohnson, if
11:41 pm
bennett's filed? michael gove and boris johnson, if anything bennett's filed? michael gove and borisjohnson, if anything for journalists, just the psychodrama. they were best buddies in 2016 then stabbed boris in the back and went for it himself. it would have been a great story if they went hammer and tongs but you cannot have everything. on the telegraph, a slightly different spin and photograph. they have philip hammond the chancellor, saying he stirs up trouble for boris because he abstained into this vote. an interesting line in the back, he is believed to be the first chancellor ever to defy without being sacked or resigning. the chancellor is accused at least by the telegraph of leaving at least by the telegraph of leaving a booby—trapped for the new prime minister and orchestrating a coup. they are using pretty strong language. it is absolutely
11:42 pm
extraordinary for a chancellor not to vote for the government. these effectively the number two of the government. it is unheard of. in any other circumstances, it would be a sacking offence but he has only got six days left in office. he has already said he will not be chancellor in the next government so they might not be a point in sucking him. jacob rees mogg saying he furious about philip hammond ‘s decision saying it is contemptuous of the constitution. don't forget, they are trying to get the prime minister the chance to suspend parliament to force through something our constitutional parliament does not want and all philip hammond has done is not vote ona philip hammond has done is not vote on a measure do not do that so a constitutional high ground is pretty reg. people realising that the
11:43 pm
legislative branch of government are separate and what happens when they come into conflict, what is the role of the speaker, the queen, what is the word rogue means, —— per rogue. it is exciting from learning how the democracy works. it is a shame it is of chaos. i agree that it is over language. how many years and we had a government with a big majority. tony blair. even the coalition was coherent. so things that happened in the house of commons were just boring. the government you knew was going to win every vote. with this, every week there is some drama. again, iam every week there is some drama. again, i am talking like a journalist and it is great fun to watch. philip hammond being stronger, smiling on the front page
11:44 pm
of the daily telegraph, talking about nodal conservatives saying if they are seeking a deal they have my support if not i will fight a no deal all the way. i have not heard that kind of spirit. come the autumn, asa that kind of spirit. come the autumn, as a back bench mp, he will bea autumn, as a back bench mp, he will be a thorn in the side. he will create his naughty corner. they will love every minute of it. but theresa may not sacking him for this alleged act of insubordination she has made act of insubordination she has made a borisjohnson's act of insubordination she has made a boris johnson's problem, act of insubordination she has made a borisjohnson's problem, unless he resigns before that.|j a borisjohnson's problem, unless he resigns before that. i think he will resign. he and rory stewart and deborah cook, drafting their letters now because they want boris johnson's first day in office to be without a walkout. it would be
11:45 pm
ridiculous if theresa may sacked him, would she pay somebody else to have the role for six days, not have a government... do we have a government? belgium went for years... in the sun, boris johnson was on the front page of most of the papers this morning brandishing a keeper, claiming it was harming british kipper producers. he was claiming it was brussels regulations gone mad. a pillar of ice to transport them. if you are transporting goods that need to be refrigerated, do you refrigerate them? eu regulations apply to fresh
11:46 pm
fish and he was talking about the isle of man and so it was completely irrelevant. i am expecting an apology from him and a clarification any moment. he is famously not a details man and that would appear to be the case here. but he was on the front page of every paper. to remember is cheering and laughter is. move on, who cares. we better get used to it. this is what it is going to be like. the guy is going to be prime minister. now tell me about this picture of the business secretary, greg clark. bosses will have to pay casual workers if they cancel their shifts at short notice in a clampdown
11:47 pm
unveiled today. greg clark is another cabinet minister who is not long for this world. he will not long for this world. he will not long keep hisjob, we don't think, when the new prime minister arrives. whichjust to when the new prime minister arrives. which just to interrupt, when the new prime minister arrives. whichjust to interrupt, you think will be boris johnson, whichjust to interrupt, you think will be borisjohnson, do you?” whichjust to interrupt, you think will be boris johnson, do you? i do, andi will be boris johnson, do you? i do, and i don't think he will keep greg clark on, so those ministers who are not going to be there much longer are desperately trying to do things as quickly as they can, so we're seeing a raft of announcements, consultations being launched, being unveiled, even the prime minister is doing it as she knows she doesn't have much longer in office either. so trying to regulate the gig economy, and offer some protections to workers who have been badly treated in certain aspects of this new type of industry that has arrived, talking about employees not being punished for refusing last—minute demands to work. i think some of these measures will have fairly popular support. the question i would ask is will the next business secretary agree with this or might they quietly shuffled this
11:48 pm
idea into the bin on day one? whether he can make it stick if he only has six days in the job we will have to see. talking about the gig economy, it is a major change to the labour market and the current government had some recommendations to implement, they have been quite slow in doing so. most people are generally supporting the gig economy asa generally supporting the gig economy as a concept, increased flexibility for workers, the way technology has enabled that, we all like using uber. the problem is the one sidedness. the idea that companies can cancel a shift and not pay when workers may have turned down other shifts to take it on, and they can request a shift at the last minute and blacklist or penalise workers for not taking it up. the issue is restoring the balance there, and he makes that point that most businesses support flexible working but a small number exploit workers
11:49 pm
and this is a really significant issue. there are people in the labour party who want to eliminate this form of working entirely. most people, i think, this form of working entirely. most people, ithink, are this form of working entirely. most people, i think, are cautiously supportive of it. you need government to make sure it is fair, sol government to make sure it is fair, so i think it is good that he is doing it, but you are right, if it is liz truss who comes in as business secretary next week, she will probably reverse what greg clark is trying to do there. so a shift in attitude for a bit is basically the headline. the daily mail, part of an ongoing campaign from the daily mail about dementia and theircampaign to from the daily mail about dementia and their campaign to end the care cost trail, as they call it. a striking headline, if nothing else, one in three dementia victims forced to sell homes. they have done a poll, have they? it is part of the big new campaign the daily mail have been putting on the front page, and good on them for it, because this is a massive issue that is facing the country and that nobody seems to be doing anything about. the government
11:50 pm
has been wringing their hands about a social care crisis for years and failing to act on it. if the government wasn't obsessed with brexit, it is the sort of thing the government might be trying to address. there is a social care paper which has never seen the light of day because governments are too busy trying to get this brexit thing sorted out and nothing has been happening on this. it is another thing which will be in the in tray of the new prime minister to deal with. whether they will have the bandwidth and the capacity to do that when there is a massive crisis going on in terms of our international relations is hard to see. experts last night calling on borisjohnson to match see. experts last night calling on boris johnson to match jeremy see. experts last night calling on borisjohnson to matchjeremy hunt's promised to act, sojeremy hunt has said something about this. he has promised more money into it.|j said something about this. he has promised more money into it. i think he knows about this green paper. he said they will be action within the first three months if he wins. he
11:51 pm
can safely say that knowing that he almost definitely won't. i think the government has been too busy and they don't want to act on it, because the fact is we have an ageing population, this is a looming and growing sustainability issue. we have more retirees and few working people, so the demographics are kind of skewed here, so we have to take some difficult decisions about what the spending priorities are. if you are spending more on social care, which we clearly need to, we are spending less on schools, hospitals and roads or we are taxing working people more, and that is not a calculation that any politician wants to come out and say we will raise taxes by this much or cut school funding. that is why it will continue to not be addressed. and in fairness, theresa may tried to address this during the 2017 election campaign, and everybody absolutely hated it, and she didn't
11:52 pm
wina absolutely hated it, and she didn't win a majority literally on the back of this policy, so you can understand them running a mile from ever mentioning this again. someone needs to grab the bull by the horns. we have 30 seconds left to mention a man on the moon. what would you like to say in 15 of them, rachel?” would like to say this is really inspiring, we have the anniversary on saturday, the week they were in space doing that. it has been 50 years, they managed to do the impossible back then, what could we do in the next decade if we put that investment into solving a problem like climate change? and it hearkens back to a time when america was leading the world in a fantastic way and an american president was inspiring us. you have left us with things to think about. of course, all the papers getting out there souvenir pullouts in advance of saturday. although some people still believe it didn't actually happen and it was a conspiracy theory.
11:53 pm
that's it for the papers this hour. you can see the front pages online on the bbc news website. if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, jack and rachel. thank you for watching. until the next time, goodbye. good evening, i'm chetan pathak with your sports news. we start in northern ireland, where it was supposed to be a triumphant, romantic homecoming for rory mcilroy. the first time in 68 years that royal portrush had staged the open championhip, a course where mcilroy had set the course record aged just 16. but golf can be brutal at times, and it all went wrong for mcilroy on the very first hole, as adam wild reports.
11:54 pm
an opening day of this 148th 0pen championship, this spectacular and dramatic as the scenery around portrush. so much anticipation, so much excitement about this great competition returning to northern ireland for the first time since 1951. and much of that talk in the build—up was about the northern irishman rory mcilroy. at the end of the day, the story of rory still dominates, but not for the reasons many hope your many had expected. he had a very, very poor opening round. 8—over par he finishes the day, and he has a realfight 8—over par he finishes the day, and he has a real fight on 8—over par he finishes the day, and he has a realfight on his hands to even make it to the weekend, let alone be amongst the contenders come sunday. he is in good company, though. 0nly sunday. he is in good company, though. only one shot ahead of him, tiger woods. the great tiger woods, he finished on 7—over par, and very disgruntled as he came off the 18th, very disappointed. at the other end
11:55 pm
of the leaderboard, klay is faring rather better. j. b. of the leaderboard, klay is faring rather better. j.b. holmes is leading the way, currently, on 5—under par. just one shot ahead of shane lowery, the irishman. people here very pleased to see an irishman right toward the top of the leaderboard. lots of players, though, just behind him on three other, including the names of tommy fleetwood and brooks koepka, the world number one. so they are ominously poised as we head into the second day of the 148th open. coverage on the bbc, across the bbc on line and on abc news across the weekend. —— bbc news. england will play new zealand in the semi—finals of the netball world cup after keeping up their 100% record in the tournament by beating south africa. tracey neville's side put in one of their standout performances of the week to win by ten points, 58—47 in liverpool. it is a result which means
11:56 pm
they finish top of group g, with six wins out of six. south africa also go through as runners—up. they face australia in the last four. isaid to i said to the girls before the game, you know, this game isjust about having a crack at it. go out and enjoy it. the fans are here for you, and we are just here to enjoy it. really commit every day and we take each game at a time. and we said we wa nt to each game at a time. and we said we want to win every game, and that's what we want to keep on doing. there's also— there's a team ethos and a team ethic that we want to put out, and i'm just really pleased with the way they themselves today. australia are well in control of the test match in the women's ashes series, a game england must win to avoid losing the tournament. australia have a 6—1 lead in the multi—format series, so avoiding defeat would see them retain the ashes, and they're well on their way in taunton. perry top—scoring on 84 not—out, as australia finished day one on 265—3. britain's simon yates has won stage 12 of the tour de france. the first of the race
11:57 pm
in the pyrenees. after two steep climbs, the final 30 kilometres of the stage were downhill into bagnere—de—bigorre, which led to the three riders who had broken away from the peloton fighting out a sprint finish. it was eventually won by yates, who rides for the mitchelton scott team. frenchman julian alaphilippe retained the overall leader's yellow jersey. geraint thomas is still second overall, 72 seconds behind. and there has been a big shock in qualifying for the europa league tonight, kilmarnock knocked out by the welsh premier league side connah‘s quay nomads. all the reaction and the night's other results on the bbc sport website and app. that's all the sport for now. three minutes to midnight on bbc news, let's take a check on the weather and it is looking pretty 5°99y weather and it is looking pretty soggy over the next 24 hours because of this, a developing area of low pressure which will throw some outbreaks of heavy rain north—east the uk as we had through tomorrow. though this is how we sum it up.
11:58 pm
some bursts of heavy rain in quite a brisk breeze as well. having said that, many places will start off the day dry and a little cooler than it has been on recent mornings. down to the south—west, as we move towards the south—west, as we move towards the morning rush hour, there will be some outbreaks of rain moving through and that rain likely to turn particularly heavy across the southern half of wales. could be some travel disruption and certainly some travel disruption and certainly some big titles, surface water and spray on roads. northern england, northern ireland and scotland getting off to a fine start. up one or two showers across northern scotland, temperatures at glasgow at 8am around 14 degrees. as we go through the day this rain is on the move. it will be pushing northwards across southern england, wales, the midlands, into east anglia and northern england, giving into northern ireland and eventually southern scotland. it may get up into the central belt by the middle of the afternoon. the odd flash of lightning and rumble of thunder along the rain band. showers chasing behind to the south, the best of the dry weather in northern scotland. highs of 18 to 21 degrees. 0n the southern end of this band of rain,
11:59 pm
we might see some thunderstorms breaking out through the end of the afternoon into the evening and another pulse of rain is likely to scrape its way through southern counties of england. some clear spells in between, and generally speaking, quite a muggy night, especially down towards the south—east. so we get into saturday and the main body of the wet weather will be sliding eastwards by this stage on this frontal system, but low pressure still very much in charge. it is not entirely plain sailing. there will be some sunshine but also some showers. some of those will be heavy, some of those could be foundry. they could crop up just about anywhere. temperatures from 18 to 24 degrees. signs of things turning a little bit warmer again down towards the south. sunday more reliably dry for many of us towards england and wales, rain feeding into northern ireland and the western
12:00 am
side of scotland. a strengthening breeze and those temperatures for many back up into the 20s. and that isa sign many back up into the 20s. and that is a sign of things to come, because for some of us there is some warmth on the way, heat being drawn from the near continent into southern parts of england. it will always be a bit less hot further north, u nsettled a bit less hot further north, unsettled in northern areas, with some rain at times. that's all from me. good night. welcome to newsday on the bbc. i'm rico hizon, in singapore. the headlines: president trump seeks to distance himself from racist chanting, ta rgetting a somali—born democratic congresswoman, at wednesday's campaign rally. i was not happy with it. i disagree with it but, again, i did not say it, i didn't say that, they did. the death toll from an arson attack on a japanese animation studio rises to at least 33. dozens more are injured, some critically. i'm samantha simmonds, in london. also in the programme: the pentagon says us forces have shot down an iranian drone
