saying his party's differences with its coalition partners cannot be patched up. mr salvini, whose party is well ahead in the opinion polls, said a failed attempt in the senate by the five star movement to stop plans for a high—speed rail link showed that the coalition could no longer command a majority. the duke and duchess of cambridge went head—to—head in the king's cup yachting regatta today, but were both beaten at the isle of wight race by adventurer bear grylls. kate was handed a wooden spoon for coming last in the event, which she took in good spirit. meanwhile, princess charlotte made the crowd erupt with laughter when she stuck her tongue out at photographers, and prince george was all smiles for the occasion. although he didn't quite have all he once had to smile with. all he will be wanting for christmas this year

is this two front teeth. now it's time for the weather, with ben rich. hello there. is it august or is it autumn? you may well be wondering after you have seen what is in this weather forecast. over the next couple of days some turbulent weather on the way. some heavy rain at times, but also some unseasonably strong winds, which could well cause some travel problems. now, the jetstrea m some travel problems. now, the jetstream has been dipping a long way south across the atlantic, and these strong winds high up in the atmosphere have spun up an area of low pressure. you can see it here on oui’ low pressure. you can see it here on our earlier satellite image. a beautiful swell of cloud, the sort of thing we would be used to seeing ona of thing we would be used to seeing on a chart like this during the autumn of the winter, not really during the summer. but this area of low pressure pushes in our direction as we had to friday. we will see some outbreaks of heavy rain pushing northwards. a really soggy start of the day across southern parts of scotland. that persistent and perhaps thundery rain pushing off with scotland. then some dry weather and some spells of sunshine. but a real rash of squally, thundery

showers packing in from the south—west. the winds will increasingly become a feature, gusts of 40-50 increasingly become a feature, gusts of 40—50 mph, maybe a little stronger than that in the far south—west later in the day and those temperatures ranging from 15 degrees in aberdeen to 25 in norwich and in london. so here is our low as we go into the start of the weekend. notice all the light lines packed together, the isobars, particularly on the southern flank of that area of low pressure. for england and wales, saturday is going to be an extremely windy day. inland spots could see gusts of 50 mph or more. gusts could touch 60 mph or more in some coastal areas. this could cause problems for outdoor events, difficult travelling conditions, especially when we consider that there will still be some heavy, thundery downpours across the north of the uk. so low pressure still with us into the second half of the weekend. not quite as windy for sunday, but the winds will be coming in from the north—west. and that is going to allow us to tap into some really very cool air indeed. so

during sunday, we push a band of showery rain quite erratically south—east the country. we have seen some dry weather, some spells of sunshine, but look look at the temperatures, down towards the south, maybe just scraping temperatures, down towards the south, maybejust scraping into temperatures, down towards the south, maybe just scraping into the low 20s celsius. now, our low is going to relinquish its grip somewhat into the start of the new working week. it is not going to be as windy on monday. they will still be some showers around. some of these could be heavy and possibly thundery. also some rather grey and damp weather across parts of north—east scotland. some spells of sunshine but those temperatures still a little disappointing for the time of year. and we get on into tuesday. we stick the slightly calmer spell of weather. lighter winds, some sunshine, showers as well. there is a chance that later in the day we could see more persistent rain gathering to the south—west. as we had through next week the jetstream will still be driving our weather, blowing quite strongly, actually, across the atlantic, bringing areas of u nsettled atlantic, bringing areas of unsettled weather in our direction. there is a chance that through the

middle part of next week we might spin up another the area of low pressure. just how deep, well, that remains to be seen. this kind of weather set up will favour ringing cool air down from the north, so certainly don't be expecting any sort of heatwave. through next week and into the following weekend we will see rain at times, potentially a spell of windy weather through the middle of the week. there will be some drier interludes, and throughout it will be rather cool, but no sign of any august weather over the next ten days. hello. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines. eating less meat to help save the planet — the un says switching to a plant—based diet could help slow down global warming. a man's been charged with attempted murder tonight after a police officer was stabbed in a frenzied machete attack in east london.

the prime minister promises to fast track visas for top scientists coming to britain as he says he's confident a deal can be done with the eu. the number of patients waiting more than four hours to be admitted to a&e is up a third in a year and is at a record high. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rachel cunliffe, comment and features editor at city am and the director of deltapoll, joe twyman. let's ta ke let's take a look at what the papers are saying.

the telegraph says boris johnson is preparing for a november general election after ministers announced a fast—track spending review to fulfil his multibillion—pound pledges. jeremy corbyn has called on britain's most senior civil servant to intervene to stop borisjohnson forcing a no—deal brexit in the middle of a potential autumn election campaign, that's according to the guardian. the ‘i' leads with borisjohnson scrapping the migrant cap and announcing a fast—track visa scheme to attract the world's elite scientists. but the times says that the prime minsiter‘s immigration proposals have been ridiculed by a world—leading physicist. the express leads with the machette attack on a police officer in london last night, and says the prime minister has vowed to tackle violent crime and restore power to front—line policing. on the same story, the mirror leads will campaigners calls for borisjohnson to implement a twelve point plan to make streets safer. the uk is due to be lashed by storms tomorrow with 60mph winds and 2.5 inches of rain predicted — that's the metro's top story. and the mail leads with the church of england criticising footballer

wayne rooney over his multi—million pound deal with a gambling firm. let's begin with the guardian. joe, this isjeremy corbyn, who we have already been told could bejumping into a taxi and heading to buckingham palace to demand he should become prime minister, according tojohn should become prime minister, according to john mcdonnell, should become prime minister, according tojohn mcdonnell, if there is a successful vote of no—confidence. now here's attempting to instruct the country's top civil servant. what i would like to see is just a race to see who could make it to buckingham palace first. a classic sports day, they can wear whatever they liked, as long as borisjohnson was some sort of outfit. we could do it for charity. and the first person becomes a minister. we could film it with a helicopter going overhead. trial by

combat. but, seriously, because this is serious, the labour leader has written to cabinet discussing what he has described as an unprecedented, unconstitutional, antidemocratic abuse of power. it also has to do the idea does make do with the idea that preparing for a general election if one were to be cold for the end of october or early november. the convention, and i believe the law around it is that you don't call decisions during that period. but what could happen is nothing is made — no decisions are made during that period and then we have no deal default. the law says 11 october 31. the law says we live oi'i 11 october 31. the law says we live on october 31, but the election law means parliament would also be dissolved. so there would be no mps

to vote for or against anything. and the law has already been established. so gets very complicated. but ultimately comes down to this bigger question of timing on the general election. something we have dogs but all evening. and the key question, what is more difficult for borisjohnson and his team to achieve? is it holding a general election without having secured brexit and all the complications that come without? 0r is securing brexit with only a one, at most, seat majority. that is the question i'll be searching for answers for over the next few days, weeks and possibly months. rachel, what do you think? unprecedented? yes. all of this is unprecedented. unconstitutional? we aren't sure, we don't have a constitution regarding this, and what is fascinating to me asa this, and what is fascinating to me as a politicaljunkie, so much in the brexit process has hinged on case law and precedent and obscure clauses and people like dominic

grieve and jacob with mark going through the archives of parliament to try and find — withjohn burke oh — evidence in theirfavour. ——john bercow. speak about our -- speaker bercow. speak about our -- speaker bercow and jason together searching for evidence. if you combine them, you get a sort of treasure hunt. i think that we should start this today, the campaign begins. and i remember candle sitting at a desk like this one, directing things. i quite like that role —— kendall.m is interesting because the word is democracy. parliament with elected

mps or is it the executive, that is the battle borisjohnson and his tea m the battle borisjohnson and his team are really gearing up to fight. parliament versus the people that by the government and this idea of what democracy is and what it means. i think there is actually — is playing his hand too early, this is all speculation, borisjohnson hasn't said whether he's going to do it or not. we will have to wait and see. i don't think anyone knows what the right answer is, nor borisjohnson, nor anyone in his team. all of these options are being put out to see what happens. it's all about seeing how europe responds. the polls show a lead for the conservatives but we don't yet know if that is a turning point for conservative fortunes or not. they haven't really changed the basic problems with the brand. it's about putting things out there and seeing how people respond. at the end of the guardian's article, boris

johnson says there were bags of time to work things out with europe, where this bag is coming from, i don't know. some people are saying that we have even ran out of time to pass theresa may's deal. but what he is doing, he has blurring his enemy's opponents into the position saying they just want to force it through, and he is the reasonable champion —— lure ring his opponents. so we also have this story about the young royals. cute with his missing two front teeth. this story was nice

of the labor party, but it was something we didn't know about the figures was that we hear a lot about labour being the largest political party. a huge boost in the leadership byjeremy corbyn, but... they are losing 100 members a day over the last year. now it is worth pointing out they are still an enormous political force in terms of their membership, there are a lot of questions about exactly how you count these beings and whether someone who stops paying is still a memberfor someone who stops paying is still a member for how long, how long they have to stop paying for adult at sort of thing. but of course, inevitably it will raise questions about the momentum behind jeremy corbyn, particularly when it comes to the issue of brexit. labour has maintained continually disposition of what is best described as strategic ambiguity —— this position. i think most people accept that sometime they are probably going to have to come out of that

and at least remain on reform. and if they don't do that, i think the suggestion from this article is that the numbers will keep dropping. still, it's a very, very large numberand ifi still, it's a very, very large number and if i — still, it's a very, very large numberand if i — the labour party wouldn't be overly concerned. the tories have about 160,000 members, we established up from the leadership election. the tories are more careful about who they let into their party. you can'tjustjoin in order to vote in the leadership election, you have to be a member for six months. the other thing that is interesting about this, sort of the entirety of the previous labour story is clear that some once a general election, that has been their latest policy, they don't want a government of national unity, they have been clear about that. they are pushing for a general election, seemingly they believe they could win given the complete and utter shambles of theresa may's government and the fact that boris johnson was

elected by only hundred 60,000 tory members. what this shows is their support isn't as they may think —— 160,000 tory members, their support isn't as strong as they might think. so they, they broke away. jeremy corbyn is not popular. you've got to remember he isn't popular among general voters. there was a poll out today... is it true he doesn't bowl well? he consistently performs badly compared to theresa may and now performs badly, even worse than borisjohnson performs badly, even worse than boris johnson among the performs badly, even worse than borisjohnson among the general public. rossella is absolutely right that among his members he still performs well and they do believe that he is the best person to lead the party —— rachel. so it is difficult to see change coming anytime soon.

moving on to the telegraph, not a huge surprise about borisjohnson's election spending spree, but this is a bit about how they will achieve it, and they have sped up the process. it is necessary for the government to allocate more spending. borisjohnson said in the campaign trail he will use the no deal brexit war chest that they have built up, how they will do that when the money was intended to cushion the money was intended to cushion the consequences of no deal brexit and it looked like we were heading towards no deal brexit, counting the same money twice, i guess the magic money tree does exist. it is really interesting because when that happened... presumably they gave a little bit as a retirement present to theresa may. every time boris johnson announces anything it is on the front of the telegraph, they celebrate it. we had an article in the guardian saying who is going to pay for it? i thought the world has turned upside down. the guardian has discovered fiscal responsibility and

the telegraph is celebrating more spending and more borrowing. they will be money for 20,000 more police officers, schools, for the nhs, the really key public services that voters really ca re really key public services that voters really care about, and the ones that really show up and get raised on the doorstep when you are going around doorknocking. this is incredibly short term because he hasn't laid out how he will pay for any of it. it is purely geared towards winning the election, whenever that comes. and these policies are popular. not necessarily, because people don't vote on policies. generally it is far more complicated than that, but there is no denying that 20,000 more police officers, you get about eight out of ten people supporting that idea in principle. similarly the moves on social care and education are popular. the tax cuts divide opinion more evenly, and it will be really interesting. based on whether you are included in the tax cut.

what they call enlightened self—interest. what they call enlightened self-interest. it will be interesting to see under the scrutiny of an inevitable election campaign, whenever that turns out, both sides, conservative and labour, will deal with the issue of fiscal responsibility and balancing the books. and the times has a story which in the light of the terrible machete attack in london last night is very appropriate to put at the top of its front page. this is about the number of attacks on police officers rising, and one possible reason they are rising. yes, i should say that is an absolutely horrific attack, the one you refer to, and it has a police officer involved is in a stable condition at the moment. it looks like, fingers crossed, he will make a recovery. this is richard tucker, who is the detective chief superintendent, head of his unit, has said it is a symptom of people having less fear of police, and he is saying this is pa rt of police, and he is saying this is part of a widening trend of people not fearing the police, which chimes

very much with the home secretary, who says that she wants criminals to feel terror at the thought of committing crime. i am not sure if the evidence necessarily backs it up, funding has been cut by 19% in real terms since 2010. we know numbers are down, we know police forces are numbers are down, we know police forces a re really numbers are down, we know police forces are really struggling. whether or not there is that psychological fear aspect i am not 100% convinced on. psychological fear aspect i am not 10096 convinced on. the most interesting statistic, i thought, from this article was the number of assaults on constables rose 18% in the year to march, 31,000 attacks on police constables. that is a very difficult position for the police to be in, and any party that supports them will reap dividends at the ballot box. we also have on the

front of the times, we won't have time to talk about it now, but the reaction to the announcement of visas for top tier scientists. this is andre... i am trying to find his name. my arms aren't long enough. his discovery of graphene, which is very exciting in the last few years. he is not impressed by the government's announcement, but we will leave that one for people to read online. let's move onto the guardian, finally, or back the guardian. this is... we were talking to kosh just before we came to the papers, the creative director responsible for that album cover. he didn't take the photograph, but he made the decision not to have the beatles‘ name or the name of the album, but it is an iconic image. i

am going to wait for rachel‘s reaction. we will askjoe firstly, what do you make of this attempt to re—enact this magic moment?” what do you make of this attempt to re-enact this magic moment? i would say from right—to—left itjust gets worse. thejohn say from right—to—left itjust gets worse. the john lennon, say from right—to—left itjust gets worse. thejohn lennon, i am going to use the term advisedly, impersonator, doesn‘t do a bad job. imean, at impersonator, doesn‘t do a bad job. i mean, at least the guy isn‘t wearing shoes, but the ringo starr quy: wearing shoes, but the ringo starr guy, i wearing shoes, but the ringo starr guy, i mean, come on. in the background we have someone wearing a remains t—shirt and someone wearing a star wars t—shirt —— ramones. i used to live down the road from the abbey road crossing, as it is now. it is fairto abbey road crossing, as it is now. it is fair to say that not all of the locals treated it with the legal status that crossing deserved. brief last word, rachel? first of all, it is not the original crossing. they have moved it. and secondly i am going to get in terrible trouble for admitting that i wouldn‘t have recognised that if

it hadn‘t been for all of the front pages. sorry, chaps, if you are involved in that reconstruction, and sorry to the guardian as well. 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. newsday is coming up at midnight. next is the sport. good evening, i‘mjane dougall, with the sports news. it has been a busy transfer deadline day, with some last—minute deals getting in under the wire, including romelu lukaku, who was widely expected to leave manchester united. the forward hasjoined inter milan for a club record of £74 million on a five—year contract. the 26—year—old scored 42 goals in 96 games for united, and leaves just two years after his £75 million move from everton.

defender david luiz has left chelsea to join arsenal for £8 million on a two—year contract. the brazil centre—back passed his medical and was announced today. luiz has spent 6.5 years at chelsea during two spells, and has made 160 premier league appearances, scoring 11 goals. alex iwobi had left arsenal to go to everton for a fee believed to be in the region of £35 million. the nigerian international has been with arsenal since the age of eight, and played more than 50 games in all competitions last season. good signing for everton. the england under 21 left—back ryan sessegnon has left fulham for tottenham for £25 million. the 19—year—old scored two goals in 35 premier league appearances last season. and andy carroll has returned to newcastle united, eight years after he left. the 30—year—old was released by west ham this summer

following a six—year spell blighted by injuries. he has signed a one—year contract at st james‘s park. four british sides were in europa league qualifying action today. wolves look assured of a spot in the playoffs for the group stages. they beat armenian side fc pyunik by 4—0. rauljimenez scored either side of half—time, as wolves were rarely troubled. rubens nevez completed the scoring in stoppage—time from the penalty spot. the second leg takes place next thursday. aberdeen must overcome a two—goal deficit if they‘re to reach the playoff round. they were beaten 2—0 by croatian side rieka away from home. manager derek mcinnes has never made it past this stage though in five previous attempts with the dons. in the other matches,

welsh champions the new saints lost 5—0 to bulgarian side ludogorets. but better news for glasgow rangers, who beat danish side midtjylland 4—2. st helens have extended their lead at the top of super league with a 30—12 win away at their nearest challengers, warrington. the home side were missing a number of players following the bad—tempered finish to their match at catalan dragons this weekend. but saints ran in five tries to take the win. this match is also a dress rehearsal for the challenge cup final at wembley, which is coming up in two weeks time. one of the greats of south african and world cricket, hashim amla, has retired from the international game. he played 349 times for his country in all three formats, scoring more than 18,000 runs. the 36—year—old holds south africa‘s highest test score, an unbeaten 311 against england at the oval in 2012. he will continue to play domestic cricket. well, certainly a stand—up moment would be the 311 that he made at the oval in 2012 against england. it is the first time that a south african has made a triple hundred in test cricket, and it was a wonderful

moment for him, and it is a combination of an incredible career, amazing talent and obviously great dedication. he has had some other incredible moments where he has fought for south africa, where they have been in really tough moments, where you almost kind of forget about it, because he kind of does it quietly, in a way. people obviously praise ab de villiers, a lot, the stars like dale steyn, but sometimes people forget how good he was, and also how brilliant he was even in the short formats of the game, his strike rate was incredible. and there is no doubt there will be some very fond memories for most people who have watched hashim amla. that‘s all the sport for now. hello there. thursday was the calm before some stormy weather. and over the next few days it really isn‘t going to feel like some at all. for a start, we have got some rain which could be heavy at times. but it is the strength of the wind that is probably going to have further impact. what we have is an unusually deep area of low pressure for the time of year, hence the strength of the wind. it is unusually far south,

as well, and it is putting in these weather fronts, driving as well, and it is putting in these weatherfronts, driving rain northwards and eastwards across the uk. as we head into the morning, still probably dry across the final of scotla nd still probably dry across the final of scotland stopped slightly cooler here, just one or two showers. central and southern scotland a wet start for the rush hour. this rain could be really quite heavy. still this rain around first thing from northern ireland into the far north of england stop some showery bursts of england stop some showery bursts of rain still to clear away from eastern england. wales in the south—west, though, dry at this stage. really quite a warm and muggy start many parts of england and wales as well. we will see the back of that ran through the morning across eastern england. the rain band marching northwards to come to rest in northern scotland, and then a lot of showers developing across western parts of the uk. these are going to be heavy and hungry, and there will be gusty winds as well. very lively in the south—west of england as the wind strengthened through the day. still quite one, though, for eastern parts of england, where it is going to be driest of all, with some sunshine. temperatures into the mid—20s. but the winds will continue to

strengthen during the evening and overnight as our area of low pressure continues work its way northwards. it will focus most of the wet weather across the northern half of the uk on saturday. some showers and longer spells of rain for scotland, northern ireland, perhaps the far north of england. the risk of some thunderstorms as well. further south showers will be more fleeting. there will be some lengthy spells of sunshine. but here it is going to be windy across england and wales, widespread gales, gas of 60 mph around some southern coast of england and wales. and it will feel cooler and fresher. those temperatures typically low 20s at best. now, for the second half of the weekend, well, our area of low pressure is tending to push away towards scandinavia. it will take away the worst of the winds. but we have still got these weather fronts here focusing the showers into some longer spells of rain, and those will slip their way down into england and wales. it will be breezy, but the wind direction is changing to more of a northerly. that is really going to drop the temperatures for the northern half of the uk, with highs of only 15 or 16.

difficult to see change coming anytime soon. i‘m sharanjit leyl in singapore. the headlines: eat less meat to help save the planet — a major un report says that altering our diets could help slow down global warming. the choice between broccoli and ribs on your plate actually has a real link to the level of global warming that we are likely to see. india‘s prime minister narendra modi says he revoked kashmir‘s autonomy to free it from terrorism and separatism. hello, i‘m ben bland in london. also in the programme: immigration officials arrest nearly 800 workers in the us state of mississippi but scenes of children separated from their parents spark condemnation. and we discover why hundreds of young people in india have
