11:30 pm
problems, we could see cause a few problems, we could see some localised surface water flooding building in, because the rain band is going to be heavy in places, and also slow—moving, so the rain we get will vary from place to place, but some areas, perhaps into scotland, northern england, lincolnshire, could see as much as 40-60 lincolnshire, could see as much as 40—60 millimetres, a months worth of rain, perhaps even more over the hills, hence the risk of localised flooding. the weather will probably cheer up over northeast scotland and gci’oss cheer up over northeast scotland and across southern wales, south—west england, maybe northern ireland too, should stay dry with sunny spells for much of saturday. different day, same weather front is only, we are taking the rain in the second half of the weekend into northern ireland and wales, moving into central and southern england to the far south—west and mainly dry, if few showers for scotland but also some bright sunny spells, and temperatures back to where they should be, it will be noticeable this weekend with notes feeling a lot more comfortable for sleeping as iam sure lot more comfortable for sleeping as i am sure will be good news for many of you. monday, the dregs of the weather front will be affecting the north—west of the uk but that one is weakening, the next system coming in
11:31 pm
the south—west, so it is unsure how close to south england this will get. the low pressure will have strong winds and heavy rain, so it might be that we see the rain across south—west england, it could be my expense “— south—west england, it could be my expense —— extensive than that, it is still around over south—west scotla nd is still around over south—west scotland and northern ireland, easing is a day goes by, sunny spells elsewhere and temperatures into the low 20s, 2a in london. near average for the time of year as far as temperatures go. tuesday that area of low pressure in the south, thatis area of low pressure in the south, that is still there, some uncertainty as to whether we see rain showers across southern parts of the uk, further north the weather really becoming a little quieter, maybe a few showers around but also some spells of sunshine coming through for most of us, because again, into the low 20s. there is a trend for england and wales to have some drier weather as we head into wednesday, as showers clear off into the near continent. scotland and northern ireland drier, some isolated gym —— slow—moving showers,
11:32 pm
winds will be quite light across the country, temperatures into the low 20s quite widely, ranging from 20 in belfast to 43 in the london area. beyond that —— 23 in the london area. looking at the jetstream, the main area driving the low pressure systems into the mid—atlantic, and over the uk the jetstream weakens, that will probably mean pressure will tend to rise across eastern parts of the uk, so i mainly dry picture, mainly a few showers across north—western areas but i can increasingly find weather with sunshine to go around and becoming warm up but particularly so across eastern parts of the uk, potentially warm for some of us into next weekend. hello. this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment first the headlines.
11:33 pm
a reminder of the headlines. moved to 20,000 new police officers said to 20,000 new police officers said to begin within weeks, says the government, but is it achievable?m is ambitious. the government have said it is ambitious. there are some real challenges and how you make all parts of the system faster and how we bring people and at that kind of speed. carl beech, a paedophile, who made false allegations of murder and child sexual abuse against famous people has been jailed child sexual abuse against famous people has beenjailed for 18 child sexual abuse against famous people has been jailed for 18 years. a possible trade deal for britain and the united states, as boris johnson and donald trump discuss unparalleled post—brexit opportunities stop its mrjohnson‘s first phone conversation with the us president since becoming prime minister. trouble for sports direct as it reveals its profits have fallen. the retailer says it regrets pursuing house of fraser and the department store's problems may be terminal.
11:34 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are michael booker, deputy editor at the daily express, and the mirror columnist, susie boniface. 0ur chat 0urchat ina 0ur chat in a moment. now for a quick look at the front pages. let's start with the financial times, and it leads with a warning from the irish prime minister leo varadkar to borisjohnson saying that a hard brexit could undermine the union of the uk. the telegraph carries an interview with jacob rees mogg the new leader of the house of commons, in which he attacks his remainer colleagues, saying they won't dare to revoke article 50. the times reports that mrjohnson will pledge to spend £2 billion on deprived towns as he seeks to win over labour's leave voters. the guardian leads on its analysis of the latest crime figures which suggests that only one in 65
11:35 pm
rape cases reported to police result in suspects being summonsed or charged. it's holiday hell! so says the mirror, which reports that thousands of people heading on their summer breaks have been left stranded, after storms caused travel disruption. the same story makes the front page of the express, which calls the travel havoc "a perfect storm of disruption". and, the plight of holidaymakers is also in the daily mail. it says they are facing more costly trips abroad thanks to the fall in the value of the pound. so, a varied set of front pages let's see what our reviewers make of it all. that is a quick look through the front pages. a nice variation. quite a few brexitjohnson stories. we start off with the telegraph. the leader of the house of common is. that telephone conversation between borisjohnson and that telephone conversation between boris johnson and donald trump, that telephone conversation between borisjohnson and donald trump, how did they know what the other one was saying? 0ne did they know what the other one was saying? one of them speaks ancient
11:36 pm
greek and latin, the other speaks only redneck, both kerfuffle and waffle. a collection of good was they were shouting at each other. the white house tends to put out transcripts of conversations like that. they're talking about big, bold trade deals. come on. what will the eu be thinking? they are cosying up, there might be a deal here. the eu be thinking? they are cosying up, there might be a deal harem is good for borisjohnson. it kind of links into the front of the telegraph. he is ringing up the president... he has the leader of the house of commons. despite what donald trump thinks and the prime minister, he doesn't make the trade deals, they have to go through congress the same way that hours go through parliament. it has got to go through parliament. it has got to go through congress and has got to get democrat approval and then the whole irish—american lobby is not going to let the good friday agreement crash
11:37 pm
and burn. this is one of the arguments that nancy pelosi was saying... talking big is what god donald trump in there. this is all pa rt donald trump in there. this is all part of the talking big, maybe not delivering on things —— gossip donald trump... shall be talk about what rees—mogg is talking about? donald trump... shall be talk about what rees-mogg is talking about? now on the front of the telegraph, sat there on the front of the paper. what he has been brought in to do, he is the brain that knows all about the parliamentary rules, so boris johnson believes, and he is saying here, "look, if the remainers, domont agreement and people like that, if they seize control, what are they going to do? the only thing they can do to stop a no—deal brexit is to revoke article 50 and they won't do that because that will show that they want to get rid of brexit altogether rather than get a decent deal." he also says they could go for a no—confidence vote. why would they do that? why would they want to
11:38 pm
do that? why wouldn't anyone have complete confidence in people i've i'io complete confidence in people i've no idea what to do. again, this is all about how it looks at the moment. there is a lot of worry, a lot of talk, a lot of stuff is coming out from this new government, which basically is branding, its marketing and advertising. it is being reported in a lot of places as a fa ct being reported in a lot of places as a fact of some sort. it is not. this is all electioneering. and before the election normal rules kick in, we should add, this is electioneering for a very likely autumn general election in which borisjohnson will say, autumn general election in which boris johnson will say, look, autumn general election in which borisjohnson will say, look, i tried two brexit, but parliament stopped me. you the people need to tell parliament that you don't want parliament to stop me. and he will blame the civil service, he will blame the civil service, he will blame mps, and he is going to blame out blame mps, and he is going to blame our civil and democratic institutions are him not being able to do something which is actually very damaging. do you know what he will turn around and say to people like you? you are a doom sale. why
11:39 pm
don't they get all excited like jacob rees—mogg?” don't they get all excited like jacob rees-mogg? i don't want to think ofjacob and excitement. jacob rees-mogg? i don't want to think of jacob and excitement. the front page of the mail, brexit essentially been blamed for more costly holidays. they don't blame it until the fourth paragraph. they say this is your holiday pounds, plunging. most people, we don't like admitting this is journalist, plunging. most people, we don't like admitting this isjournalist, but usually in tabloid newspapers about 35% of your readers, who are going to read the story, most of them, two—thirds are going to turn the page stop people flip. we know that. they look at the headline, may be glance across, and move over. it is about foreign summer holidays costing more. down in the fourth paragraph they are saying the pound is worthless against the dollar than at any time in late july in 50 years. it is the worst price against the euro since that currency was invented in 1999. and this is entirely due to fears of a no—deal brexit. this headline, really, if
11:40 pm
you're being accurate to represent the story, should say boris breaks it sinks the pound. they are still slightly in two minds about boris johnson. whereas maybe... they are still not attributing blame. in this one at the moment they're still into mine. i don't think they want a no deal. they want to voted... vote to leave specifically said, hang on, vote to leave, which, one, for want ofa vote to leave, which, one, for want of a better word, the referendum specifically said any exit would be careful, managed, and would have a deal and careful, managed, and would have a dealand an careful, managed, and would have a deal and an agreement. even said they wouldn't invoke article 50 without a plan being in place. that is well and good, but a lot of the people are voted brexit didn't think about it. they just people are voted brexit didn't think about it. theyjust wanted out. we wa nt about it. theyjust wanted out. we want out. a lot of express readers communicate to us we just want out, we don't care about a deal. the ft, we don't care about a deal. the ft, we have leo varadkar warning how we get out. the how was the thing that
11:41 pm
was never in the referendum paper. he is wanting that the northern irish people and the scottish people, all of whom voted to remain, essentially, well think, hold on, if they go for a hard brexit maybe they don't like the union. although in here it does remind us that boris johnson thinks very strongly of the union, doesn't he? he is very fond of it... jolly lovely! doesn't mean he is going to protect it. shows there is no compromising. just talking about this again. this is borisjohnson talking talking about this again. this is boris johnson talking about the backstop and saying stuff that doesn't make any sense, because if you abolish the backstop in this pa rt of you abolish the backstop in this part of the agreement in order to get it through parliament you simply move the problem of the northern irish border and how you control it without controlling it into the future trade agreement that we have to have with the eu. and he is also talking about gm crops, investment, and more research, which if we have gm crops in northern ireland would have to a massive decontamination zone on the border. he has been
11:42 pm
talking about free ports, which would mean customs checks inside the uk, perhaps outside samples and cities... he doesn't really talk about that. this is branding. he is going to talk bold, positivity, big bold strokes. he has been elected as prime minister in order to get brexit done by the tory membership. he is not trying to get brexit done. he is not trying to get brexit done. he is not trying to get brexit done. he is trying to get re—elected for another five years may tory majority government and to do what his backers want him to do after that. the brexit he is suggesting is impossible. it cannot be achieved. he is not trying to. he is trying to brand himself as the big ideas, strongman... with theresa may's government, which ended terribly, as we so, they ended completely enthralled to brussels. only somebody a completely weak position wishes to look the strong. you were both pointing out that a lot of this
11:43 pm
is politicking. you are pointing out the points of the detail, not working through. do you think the british people actually care right now? because a lot of people don't even realise that on the 31st of october, that's not the end of it all. that stage i. so maybe boris is playing this very well, because we turn to the front page of the excess, these are scenes we never saw with theresa may. it is like beatles mania. because theresa may was not the kind of person to walk down the street offering salvias. borisjohnson is. if theresa may happened to be on someone's workplace she got asked for selfies and she did selfies. the fact that she did not go in promoters of in that way... he has this charisma which does seem to be working on people. that might work on people in brussels that maybe find themselves... the problem with brexit and politics is that you can'tjust have brexit and politics is that you can't just have charisma brexit and politics is that you can'tjust have charisma to brexit and politics is that you can't just have charisma to carry you through. you actually have to
11:44 pm
have practicalities and some achievements and a legacy. but that is not politics these days, it is popularity politics. he has been elected once and want to be elected again by the country to deliver something, to do one definite thing, which can be proved and seen in people's lives. and even if he did get a general election, even if he did winner, the tory majority, even if he gets up by claiming some sort of brexit, the mps are stopping me, civil servants are stopping me, and the people say we have given you the mandate, he still can't solve the northern ireland border problem. still can't invoke a border. crosstalk. can't we just get rid of that? no! what to do is to get rid of northern ireland and he says he won't. popular in birmingham. lizzo in brussels. he cares what is going on at home. yes, but people in brussels are very used to prime ministers walking around. whereas in birmingham they haven't seen a prime
11:45 pm
minister in decades. he said out loud that this is not going to a general election. but he is touring the country. birmingham today, manchester tomorrow. a lot of the remaining mps seem to have gone home for recess. they are not in a position of power. labour has put it mps ona position of power. labour has put it mps on a war footing. go back to your constituencies you need to start campaigning. crosstalk. this lot seem to be united. that is it. he has a plan. his plan is brexit. his plan is to get re—elected. brexit. his plan is to get re-elected. by talking a lot and taking hold of the news agenda, which they are at the moment, no—one is challenging that at the moment. he has more of a chance. boris johnson has managed to unite the leave side behind some hope. if he doesn't deliver on that hope that then got mork crosstalk. if you are talking about the brexit party, erg, tory backbenchers, he has united them at the moment. if he
11:46 pm
doesn't deliver they will start splintering and he will have twice the enemies that theresa may has. he has united believes that someone has to unite the remains are in every seems to be doing that at the moment. in terms of newspapers it is good for us. usually we are in the... i don't think it is. there is a lot of brexit. it is not selling papers at the moment. a lot of brexit. it is not selling papers at the momentlj a lot of brexit. it is not selling papers at the moment. i think some of thisjournalism, papers at the moment. i think some of this journalism, generally, papers at the moment. i think some of thisjournalism, generally, i'm not picking anyone out, leaves me underwhelmed and disappointed that there are so many people... that is there are so many people... that is the entire industry. there are so many people just reporting bluster as fact. it should be scrutinised better than it is. let's turn to the front page of the times, we are still with prime ministerjohnson, a headset that we labour voters with a £2 billion fund, headline, however... that will get them. this is the bride that theresa may gave to the brick ——
11:47 pm
deprived towns in order to get labour mps to vote for her brexit deal, which failed, he has now renounced and given a bump, shaken the magic money tree. what is a deprived town. i think you need a labourmp. deprived town. i think you need a labour mp. this bribe at labour mps tobacco deal, this is now aimed at labour voters to back him in the election he is not calling. will it work? voters are not stupid, people know that... work? voters are not stupid, people know that. .. in these towns, if the brexit party have candidates, they are campaigning on one thing... that is what a lot of people in these towns do want. the labour voters what —— know what labour is doing on brexit? no voter knows what labour are doing. it has been very destructive, that is the trouble. this is alljust more electioneering, and it is advertising, and most people like you say, care about brexit, and they
11:48 pm
wa nt you say, care about brexit, and they want brexit to happen or not happen, and it is alljust padding around the side. as a northerner i don't like this idea that there are a big bovine herd of northerners who will fa lter bovine herd of northerners who will falter any old shtick, but... crosstalk. let's just turn to the front page of the guardian, and 1.5% of rape cases actually lead to summons. four years ago from 2016, it was one in seven, that has gone down to less than 1000, only 1.5%, one in 65 reports and they say that pa rt of one in 65 reports and they say that part of this fall it has emerged, coming after all the scandals of police disclosure, forms that are asking victims to fill in when they first report a crime, offering to hand overtheir first report a crime, offering to hand over their devices, right at the start, even if the investigation does not show any need to look at their devices... there was a spate of collapsing cases, wasn't there, particularly against university stu d e nts particularly against university students and then there was a
11:49 pm
question of anonymity before charge... was also a surgeon reports of offe nce s charge... was also a surgeon reports of offences because of the metoo movement and historic offences... crosstalk. i don't think carl beech helps victims either. it doesn't helps victims either. it doesn't help that three police officers who we re help that three police officers who were experienced in talking to child abusers and child abuse victims believed him. some of the people he would have spoken to, and i think the journalist now have question to answer, but they aren't experienced in talking to child abusers and child victims. and the police were and they should have picked him up. it became politicised as well as... four years, there is no excuse. we had some colourful language they are, which is, earlier, when we were talking about, it was the front page of the times, so just a quick apology to our viewers. let's turn
11:50 pm
to the son. —— to the sun. we have commandments, royal rules, what do you make of this? this is a tripe story i am afraid, as part of the continuing campaign against megan to present her as a diva and presenter as difficult, and we only have three paragraphs on the front page, there has been a resident meeting of people who live near their property and bear in mind their property on the windsor estate is not exactly in a cul—de—sac, it is along the windsor estate is not exactly in a cul—de—sac, it is a long way from other people, but the people who do nearby have had a meeting and there has been a list of people they were told about orally which they should not do and there is no proof of this, but it has been reported to this, but it has been reported to this —— to the sun, thou shalt not instigate conversation, thou shalt not at their dogs, at instigate conversation, thou shalt not at their dogs, et cetera. probably these are things to do with approaching royals in general, it
11:51 pm
does not mean thou shalt not chat to... most people want a bit of privacy... to... most people want a bit of privacy. . . with to... most people want a bit of privacy... with us mere mortals, a lot of this you wouldn't do anyway. thou shalt not pose any item through their letterbox? i don't think anyone would get within spitting distance... let's turn back to the daily telegraph, and jacob rees mogg, and he has sent out a style guide of sorts. but he doesn't know what... ordering people in his office what correct english rules to use when having correspondence, one of which... i didn't get to go to eton, but one of which is that untitled males should be referred to asx untitled males should be referred to as x choir, old nontitle males, —— esquire, but esquire is only for
11:52 pm
those who are above the rank of gentleman and below the rank of night. so not just gentleman and below the rank of night. so notjust all nontitle males, he is actually wrong, sorry, jacob. but again he gives out this idea that he is organising things, there is a new broom in town... but it is pretend! this is all fake! there are a couple of things in here that you think, actually, that is right. i don't think! that you think, actually, that is right. i don't think i would insist people be called esquire. a lot of our people who read a paper want imperial measurements, so they would love that. michael and susie, thank you very much. have a lovely weekend. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, susie and michael. goodbye.
11:53 pm
hello, the latest from the bbc sport centre. ireland were bowled out for just 38 to leave their hopes of winning theirfirst test just 38 to leave their hopes of winning their first test match against england in tatters after a devastating fight back by the home side at lords. it was a remarkable turnaround from england who were bowled out for just 85 themselves before lunch on wednesday, our sports correspondent was there for us. it's the hope, that's the problem. the beautiful, horrible hope. ireland were here to gate—crash cricket's establishment, to win at lord's. 182 runs, that's all they needed. everyone of them would be cheered and celebrated in a way loads
11:54 pm
——lord's was just getting used to. trouble was, there were only 38 of them — runs that is. what a catch. england recovered their intensity while stuart broad has swept through teams before. here, chris woakes was his arch companion in accuracy. the overhead conditions, the pitch conditions suited bowling. the english fielders caught everything, and ireland suddenly looked like a team playing their third test match ever. defend it, hit it, anything! well, it is easy from the seats. batting sometimes seems impossible when you are actually doing it. decades of development and dedication and... 38 all out. england's world cup spirit endured. i think we've come from the unknown, haven't we? we've never been in a position where we've won a world cup and half of the side have been a part of that and then very quickly have to adjust for test cricket.
11:55 pm
i thought this morning we were outstanding, i really do. we exploited those conditions beautifully. well this test match will serve as a preparation of sorts for england as they look ahead to the ashes, that's next week. as for ireland, the chance to play on a stage like this, well, who knows when that will come again. i guess they must try to remember the hope, rather than the missed opportunity of today. while the men were humbling ireland, the women were on the receiving end yet again, thrashed by australia in the first t20 of the women's ashes. captain meg lanning's 133 the first t20 of the women's ashes. captain meg lanning's133 not out was the highest t20 international score in the women's game as australia post at the highest total in the format, 226—3 after crumbling forfour, england in the format, 226—3 after crumbling for four, england staggered to 133-9, the for four, england staggered to 133—9, the wind means australia will win the ashes out right. tomorrow?
11:56 pm
penultimate stage of the tour de france will be shortened by 71 kilometres because of the threat of landslides and severe weather warnings, that weather played a key role in stage 19 today, geraint thomas's thomas hopes of winning all but over. a hailstorm 20 comedies from the finish forced arrays to be all but abandoned. the colombian writer lead by 48 second from the frenchman julian alaphilippe, with thomas back in third. an shailer park was fastest in practice ahead of this weekend's german grand prix, he and his teammate sebastian battle in the top two positions ahead of lewis hamilton in the mercedes. —— child clerk. —— clarles leclerc.
11:57 pm
but how but how along with thunderstorms heralding the end of what has been an extraordinary week of weather, not only here in the uk but across continental europe, with many temperature records broken. it took like this time last night we probably had not broken the week — uk's probably had not broken the week — uk's all—time temperature record but since then new information has come to light, a temperature rating of 38.7 at cambridge university botanic garden on thursday afternoon, this still needs to be verified by the met office but if this temperature stands will be a new uk record. so enough of this week, what about the weekend? it will feel much cooler they will be some heavy rain around in places as well, courtesy of a slow—moving weather front, you in places as well, courtesy of a slow—moving weatherfront, you can see this on the chart, it is producing some heavy and emplaced under a producing some heavy and emplaced undera rain around producing some heavy and emplaced under a rain around the eastern uk, and this front will move very slowly as we had through the weekend. quite muqqy as we had through the weekend. quite muggy air tied in with that frontal
11:58 pm
system, a bit stn murky, a bit muggy night, but not quite as warm as some nights we have had recently, then we go into tomorrow, and the band of cloud and heavy rain affecting southeast england, east anglia into the midlands, northern england, parts of scotland, this rain will be quite persistent, they could be some surface water and spray, puddles on the roads, so some difficult travelling conditions. either side of that frontal system, it states predominately dry but no more mid— high 30s, 18— predominately dry but no more mid— high 30s,18— 23 degrees. into predominately dry but no more mid— high 30s, 18— 23 degrees. into the early hours of sunday this weather front likely to pivot westwards to some extent, uncertainty about how far west iran will get, we may see some into northern ireland through the night, those temperatures taking another step downwards, 12— 15 degrees. into sundays and handy about the position of our brand band, some rain perhaps into northern ireland, and south—west scotla nd northern ireland, and south—west scotland likely to be dangling across northern england into the midlands, some have showers breaking
11:59 pm
out in north—east england, elsewhere some spells of sunshine and we stick with those lower temperatures, 19— 24 degrees. on monday that weather front is still likely to be with us, across the northern half of the uk, generating showers across scotland, an area of low pressure likely to spin into the south—west, some rain into cornwall and devon late in the day, otherwise some sunshine, 20— 24 degrees. it is unsettled for the first half of next week, the end of the week looks like settling down, turning perhaps a little warmer, but no return to the heat we have seen in what has been an extraordinary week of weather, that's all for me.
