louder as the day goes turn a bit louder as the day goes by. with turn a bit louder as the day goes by. with any sunshine it should feel warm. i look at the jet stream into next week and initially we have quite a straight stream pattern moving across the atlantic, but as the day goes by we will start to get more of an amplification in the jetstrea m, more of an amplification in the jetstream, as the troughs get larger and the ridges get larger, for us the weather will become drier and the weather will become drier and the heat will begin to build. it is not entirely dry everywhere, we still have that weather to come across western scotland and as we head into tuesday we should see as much as 150 millimetres building up over the western hills of scotland, but elsewhere pressure is rising and so but elsewhere pressure is rising and so other temperatures, we are looking at higher temperatures of up to 20 on monday across eastern areas of england. tuesday five forecast, the rain moves away from western scotla nd the rain moves away from western scotland and more of us should enjoy the dry weather and sunshine. the heat continues to build as well, we're looking at temperatures peaking at around 31 celsius in london, a holiday for wales at 30
11:31 pm
celsius and some of the warmth extends into eastern scotland as well. into wednesday, there is a question over whether we see some thundery showers break up but there isa thundery showers break up but there is a possibility, but for the most pa rt most is a possibility, but for the most part most of the uk is in that warm hour, and if anything it will be the hottest day of the week with temperatures up to 3a celsius, that would make it also one of the hottest days of the year. beyond that, beyond wednesday, there are questions over how long this hot weather will stay around. a sharp drop in the jetstream the most likely scenario, easing to allow these atlantic winds to move in, so ultimately the weather probably turns cooler and fresher, however there is a chance that such updraught could turn sharper, so sharp that jetstream updraught could turn sharper, so sharp thatjetstream splits apart and we start to get an upper low somewhere towards iberia, and in that kind of scenario we see that continuation of hot air from europe, so continuation of hot air from europe, so there are questions beyond wednesday, it is most likely that the heat eases with some heavy,

we will be looking at the papers very shortly. this is bbc news. chris rogers, if you are wondering. iran seizes an oil tanker registered in britain with 23 people on board. the vessel was tracked moving radically off course this afternoon. its owners said it was "heading north towards iran". with the navy patrolling in the gulf, britain has described iran's move as unacceptable. this is completely unacceptable. freedom of navigation must be maintained. we will respond in a way
11:34 pm
thatis maintained. we will respond in a way that is considered, but robust. an above inflation pay rise for police, the armed forces, teachers and other public sector workers — but the money may come from existing budgets. seventeen people injured after vehicles collide with spectators at a meeting of car enthusiasts. some really interesting front pages. with me are the former conservative advisor mo hussein and the mirror's head of politics jason beattie. it is an interesting time. your first papers as well. thank you for being on the bbc. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the daily telegraph leads
11:35 pm
with tonight's breaking story — iran seizing british tankers. we've had an update on this since the telegraph went to press — only one tanker is seized now. the owner of the second tanker says it has made contact with its vessel and is free to continue its journey. the daily mirror goes with the same lead, reporting that the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt has called a meeting of the government's emergency committee, cobra, and has said ‘seizures are unacceptable'. the guardian features the lines on iran alongside an image ofjudi dench in cats the movie as they ask — is it the weirdest film of the year? pension scams are costing british savers up to £4 billion a year — that's according to a times investigation. the paper cites warnings from experts that it could be the ‘next big financial scandal‘. and the sun claims that the favourite for the top job — borisjohnson — is ready to move his partner carrie symonds into number10. it says they would be the first unmarried couple to live in the prime minister's official residence. it does look a bit weird, that film,
11:36 pm
cats. it works as a musical. that does grace the front page of the papers, including the guardian. their main story is the british oil tanker sees in the gulf. it is no longer a claim. we know what has happened. and a hub of activity in downing street tonight. this could be theresa may's last crisis before she walked out of the door next week. she was hoping to go out with some good news. spend some money here and craft a legacy. now her time will be kind of the last, we only have three days of this. it is roaring and getting the response rate, calibrating it correctly is the biggest challenge of all. —— brate. iran has seized a tanker, it seesitin brate. iran has seized a tanker, it sees it in international shipping lanes, contrary of international law, how do we respond? well, we have to stand by and protect our
11:37 pm
shipping. we have to show iran that this is wrong. but if we go into heavy—handed the danger is we inflame an already tense situation in one of the most kind of troublesome parts of the world. and, as you know, this has been bubbling along for three orfour as you know, this has been bubbling along for three or four week course. it got quite dangerously close a few weeks ago when donald trump, after a us drone was shot down by iran, allegedly, he came within, he said, ten minutes of lodging the missile strike. we need to take a breath. we are very worried about what happens with an operative —— unpredictable ally in america. we need to send irana clear ally in america. we need to send iran a clear message. 0ne misstep, one moved to file could be dangerous. not responding adequately enough has also got problems stop by the daily mail very much focusing on
11:38 pm
the daily mail very much focusing on the crisis for theresa may. calling ita the crisis for theresa may. calling it a crisis summit as tensions go. i'll be right in thinking that the shame of the rising tensions, particularly between mo and the european union and breton, is that there was some reliance, as far as iran was concerned, that the nuclear deal did not have to be operated by donald trump, that they were perhaps their allies in trying to convince america otherwise —— britain. that has completely faulted now. america otherwise —— britain. that has completely faulted nowlj america otherwise —— britain. that has completely faulted now. i think thatis has completely faulted now. i think that is right. we are caught between both sides. because the americans have a very different approach to what the uk government has set out and the eu has set out. however, this is shipping straight is of strategic importance to lots of different countries. i don't think it is feasible for every tanker to bigs —— escorted by the military. therefore what you will need to do, and this is what the americans are
11:39 pm
looking at, if you have a coalition of different navies working together in terms of surveillance aircraft and in terms of the escorts. now, when you have one country, like america, which has a very different approach to the iranian issues, the issues around iran at the moment and the eu is coming from a different place, how do you get the coalition and what can it achieve? i think it raises lots of questions around if this happens again and if it happens to take us from other countries, how would that response be calibrated?‘ lot of the papers call it tit for tat because of grace one, the iranian tanker seized in gibraltar, because they suspect it has been taken to the assad regime. donald trump has and will continue to cite that as a country, the reason why this is a country that can't be trusted. one of the things they find quite frustrating about this and the
11:40 pm
frustration is mainly aimed at tehran, but also a donald trump, we know from the leaked cables by our former ambassador, kim darroch, that he suggested quite strongly that the —— that he withdrew because of spite towards barack —— that he withdrew because of spite towards ba rack 0bama. —— that he withdrew because of spite towards barack 0bama. there was a chance to try to bring iran away from its status as a rogue nation back into the international community. britain was one of the cheerleaders for that. we were establishing trading relationships for this country, almost a sense that there would be some sort of reform internally. then we had problems with nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe. and then we had the problems of iran and getting close to the limits of its nuclear
11:41 pm
developments if not bridging it. there was a chance, we have seen it before, but you can bring countries away from the cold. i find are very surprising that donald trump has a lot of effort with north korea, a much worse rogue state, and hasn't done the same with iran. why, i don't know. trying to read donald trump's mind is difficult that the best of times. it is an interesting contrast. the daily telegraph, nicely put, jason, the daily telegraph looking at a particular face that may return to the government cabinet next week. david davis. talked about returned to the cove na nt davis. talked about returned to the covenant with boris johnson. davis. talked about returned to the covenant with borisjohnson. it davis. talked about returned to the covenant with boris johnson. it will be interesting to see what faces are walking down downing street next week to get a job or get the sack, actually, because some of them have been warned. indeed. as we saw this week for quote senior ministers abstaining. —— for senior ministers.
11:42 pm
why david davis and what to the daily telegraph know that you don't? well, that is a question. the line for me is that he did notjust sit oi'i for me is that he did notjust sit on his hands, he left government. and obviously boris followed him out of government. and i think if that isa kind of government. and i think if that is a kind of barometer about who can serve in boris's cabinet, it is quite interesting, there are lots of people, and while a lot of the blame for things that have gone wrong is with the prime minister, at her door, ultimately we do not have a presidential system in the uk, we have a cabinet government. so a lot of the people, when decisions were being made, what part of it. if the dividing line is this person resigned therefore he has some principles, then that would be interesting to see. i would hope it isn'tjust rearranging interesting to see. i would hope it isn't just rearranging the interesting to see. i would hope it isn'tjust rearranging the deck chairs. using the same, don't you, jason? you want to see new faces and fresh blood. -- you think the same.
11:43 pm
it is not my choice. the point is that boris has to be quite careful, borisjohnson has to be quite careful. if he just packs it with the old guard, his brexiteer chums, and the kind of the disgraced and embarrassing and incompetent, then the perception would be very bad for him. the optics won't be great. it will be oh god it is the same old people. so there needs to be some fresh blood. if there is fresh blood of talent he wants to serve, that is the question. if he does become prime minister he is going to move in his girlfriend, according to the front page of this i newspaper. this it is 2019. why not? the first unmarried couple. is that true? there are lots of precedents for major philanderer is in downing street, we have had palmerston and lloyd george, in that way boris is
11:44 pm
i'io lloyd george, in that way boris is no exception. but in terms of, you know, cohabiting partners, that is a great thing. i'd just can't think of an example. times are changing. it is great. let us move on to a different story. we move away from politics. the on its front page has got a pink sheep. it also has an investigation, pension schemes cost £4 billion. that is a staggering amount. fill us in, what is happening? this is their investigation. it comes back to reforms under the former chancellor george osborne which was built around making money in pensions. trusting people with their own money and giving them freedom to spend it. there have been various issues with this. not to say the least around shopping around, do people have the right information about how to do this and who are the best providers
11:45 pm
to do this? and the times have unearthed a few interesting examples of how this is not working out as maybe the intention was. which is a problem because... these are actual scams, these are not pension schemes that have gone wrong. you are investing in something that doesn't exist and was never going to happen this. when this was introduced in 2015, the then pensions minister steve webb said if people want to they can spend it on a lamborghini. and it was asked if this was the right thing. this is people's life savings, they need to retire on it in the end. and all the structures and regulation in place to make sure that these new freedoms are not abused. so the warnings were there. low and behold we are finding out i'iow low and behold we are finding out now that people are, at the age of 55, drawing into this pension pot,
11:46 pm
they call it cashing out, and ugly personal phrase from personal finance. there is no proper regulation, and there are a lot of people out there giving very dodgy and in some cases the legal advice. a balance needs to be struck between your personal freedom and what is good for people's long—term livelihoods. we had a story last week of people who dipped into their pension pot and went to work in their the times points out that a tv celebrity is among fraud the terms, i don't care about those easy —— tv celebrity, i care about the normal folk, why point that out. i suppose it does show that they are after everyone. there is a case that... should have capped what you can take
11:47 pm
out, if you have proper advice, and are registered with a financial advisor, all these problems were mentioned at the beginning another coming to light. on the financial times weekend, the final cost of britain's high—speed rolling two could be as much as £30 billion. people will be screaming at the tv, iam not people will be screaming at the tv, i am not shocked and surprised by it, because everything ends up costing more, but this is a lot more. it is sadly a familiar tale with many of these big infrastructure projects that we see, and there is delays, incremental, it all adds up, and there is delays, incremental, it alladds up, i and there is delays, incremental, it all adds up, i don't think you should take away from the intention, which is actually to improve the connectivity in this country, which does need improving, and i think we will see boris, likely to become the next prime minister, has certain
11:48 pm
views on pages two and whether it is the right thing to do, and i think there is a review wasn't some sorts on this, —— hs2. there is a review wasn't some sorts on this, -- h52. the argument as it creates employment and new infrastructure... creates employment and new infrastructure. . . exactly, creates employment and new infrastructure... exactly, but also the connectivity to london versus connectivity across the north, which they will be much more focus on in a new government. and it is a big weekend for science—fiction fans, fa ns weekend for science—fiction fans, fans of the moon, astronomers, astronauts, amateurs, let's get back to the telegraph, which is one of many papers that is bringing us various images of the moon. i think what we like about this is not only do we see neil armstrong's face for the first time on the moonwalk, because the footage, you can't really see his face through the
11:49 pm
helmet, this is from an amateur, an amateur enthusiast that revealed his face by using some digital technology. i don't entirely understand how he did it but it is very impressive, i do like the idea that we are still rediscovering, 50 years on, that we are still rediscovering, 50 years 011, new that we are still rediscovering, 50 years on, new and startling images, i always had the impression that the itiooi'i i always had the impression that the moon landings took place in black and white, because i am that old. and really grainy images, because thatis and really grainy images, because that is what you get from the moon, actually we had colour television, so... actually we had colour television, so... me and mo are too young to remember that. i was three. the day we landed on the moon i managed to fall off a key and crack my head and ended up in hospital, so i don't remember it. what is magic about this anniversary, mo, as it shows there is still a lot of love for what happened and what we achieved 50 yea rs what happened and what we achieved 50 years on, and a lot of excitement
11:50 pm
about future missions as well.|j think what we will see over the weekend, certainly, is this image being connecting with young generations and inspiring people, in terms of going further in the future and thinking about this more, so this happened 50 years ago but it is a new spin on that story, connect to younger people today, which is nice to see. and a slightly cheaper mission than hs2. i don't know if it is that much cheaper, but an amazing photograph of neil armstrong's faces into the first time during the moonwalk, and if you go to the nasa website at moment it is full of old audio and flight plans and videos, and what is the moon doing on sunday... we had a big pull-out yesterday. it is sunday, the 50th anniversary, tickly in the uk because it was 3am but it was actually... it is just incredible,
11:51 pm
it is amazing that it is still captivating audiences 50 years on. jason and mo, thank you for taking us jason and mo, thank you for taking us through the papers, have a wonderful moon landing anniversary this weekend, whatever you are up to, ithink this weekend, whatever you are up to, i think some people are staying at —— staying up all night and watching it again as it happened. much more on the bbc news website,. 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 mo and jason. thank you for watching, good night. good evening, i'm chetan pathak with your latest sports news. we'll start in northern ireland with what's been a dramatic day at
11:52 pm
the open championship. after a terrible opening round rory mcilroy had to play the round of his life to have any chance of making it to the weekend at his home tournament. but despite a great effort, he fell just short at royal portrush as adam wild reports. we have seen is an extraordinary drama in the dying light at the end of the second round here at the 148 open championship in royal portrush. rory mcilroy started the day eight over par, few if any gave him any hope at all of getting anywhere near that mark which came at one over par. he put in a tremendous second round, six under par, joint best round, six under par, joint best round of the day but he was not quite enough, missing the cut by a single shot, absolutely agonising for him and his thousands of supporters that have lined the course today. shane lowry, the
11:53 pm
irishman, leads the leaderboard at the moment, he is up there on eight under par, joining with the american jb holmes, who let overnight coming into the second round. behind them to big names of english golf, breathing down their necks. tommy fleetwood and lee westwood, what a story that would be if he could finally win that major championship that he has craved for years and yea rs. that he has craved for years and years. it is going to be an intriguing, exciting weekend ahead, even though rory mcilroy and tiger woods are not going to be here, there is plenty still to look forward to in this 148 open championship. i gave my best shot, yesterday was one of those days, was very disappointing but i didn't let that affect me today, i wanted to go out and give it my best effort, and... but it was not quite good enough. but you know, at the end of
11:54 pm
the day it has been a wonderful experience to come back and play an open championship at home, hopefully it is not too long before i get that opportunity again. julian alaphilippe has extended his lead over geraint thomas at the tour de france with a surprise victory on the thirteenth stage. thomas was expected to close the gap on the individual time trial in pau. the briton was the penultimate rider and did enough to take the lead when he finished. but alaphilippe, who was last to go, smashed the time by fourteen seconds, increasing his overall lead to almost 1.5 minutes. england's world cup winning cricket captain, eoin morgan, says he's not sure if he'll still be in the role by the time the next tournament comes around in four years. (00v)he's been england's limited overs captain since 2015, and has been a key part of the team's transformation in that time. morgan says the world cup win has made him think about his future. i don't think i'm in a good state to make a decision at the moment, just
11:55 pm
simply because of the fact that i have not had a chance to get away from the madness and the craze of winning the world cup, i've not been able to get into a logical mindset and actually ask myself a couple of questions about, four years as a big commitment to commit to a 50 over world cup, the t20 world cup next year is more realistic target, but even so year is more realistic target, but even so then, i have battled my way through this year's world cup, it has taken a lot out of me mentally and physically, so once everything comes down over the next few months i will then hopefully come to a decision, at the forefront of that will be my family and the team. staying with cricket, and rain got in the way on the second day of the women's ashes test match — a draw or a win at taunton would mean australia retain the ashes. and they're well on their way to doing just that. some sloppy fielding by england contributed to ellyse perry reaching her century — helping australia get to 341/5 before rain stopped play at taunton. england are 6—0 down in the series and it's looking very unlikely that they'll be able to regain the ashes.
11:56 pm
that's all the sport for now. just coming up to 11:56 p.m., it felt a bit like summer had been on a break today, we had some soggy weather across the uk, it was coming down heavily here in staffordshire for one of our weather watchers during this evening, it shows the pulses of rain that have been coming across the british isles. some thundery downpours now creeping into southern and south—western parts of england, some of these will continue as we have through the small hours of the morning, so don't be surprised if you are about to head off to bed, if you get woken up by lightning or thunder, some of those thunderstorms also creeping into southern and eastern parts of scotland, some patches of rain elsewhere, on what is going to be a muqqy elsewhere, on what is going to be a muggy night, those temperatures no lower than 14—17 degrees, so that could be a little bit uncomfortable.
11:57 pm
getting into tomorrow and it is a story of slow improvement, they will be some showers around commit some of those heavy, some thundery but some sunny spells as well, this is a frontal system that has brought most of the rain today, clearing eastwards during tomorrow, another whether frontier, which eastwards during tomorrow, another whetherfrontier, which is going to generate some showers through the day. we start of the morning with outbreaks of rain across the far south—east, they should clear away fairly smartly but rain likely to hang back across shetland, pretty much all day long. for other areas of england, scotland and wales, there are sunny spells and heavy showers but for northern ireland a drier day than we have had today, mainly fine and patchy cloud, sunny spells, 24 belfast, like 24 in london. the showers fade quickly through saturday evening. the most of usa through saturday evening. the most of us a beautiful start to sunday with beautiful skies and sunshine, the further south and east you are the further south and east you are the better the chance of holding onto the dry weather. for northern ireland, western scotland and far
11:58 pm
north—west england we will see a strengthening breeze, outbreaks of rain putting in and we will see some rain putting in and we will see some rain across north—western parts of the uk to start the next week, but further south we have some heat, parts of spain and france into the low 40s, we could get into the mid— 30s in places, always a little cooler and fresher the further north and west you are, more unsettled as well, some rain across parts of scotla nd well, some rain across parts of scotland and areas of cloud and mist flirting with some western coast. further south and east is where we will see high temperatures, 33— 34 celsius, some uncertainty aboutjust how long that hot weather will last, it looks like things could turn a little fresher as we had towards the end of the week, and with that there is the potential for some heavy thundery downpours. after the wet weather of today, sunshine and showers
12:00 am
this is bbc news. i'm martin stanford. our top stories: iran seizes a british—flagged oil tanker in the gulf. the stena impero, was bound for saudi arabia and has 23 people on board. the vessel was tracked moving off course — to the north — no longer in contact with its owners. as a heatwave sweeps across north america, meteorologists warn the vulnerable could be at risk. aid agencies call for a faster international response to the ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of the congo. and america lights up the washington monument to mark the 50th anniversary of the apollo moon landings.
