do other countries in that region, then you will see a lot of mega— fights out there. i'm just one of every promoter that's tried to land a mega— fight in this region, i'm just the first one to do it. so the stick comes with that but we made a decision that this was a big moment for the sport of boxing and this is an iconic fight that will go down in history where excited to host it on december the 7th in saudi arabia. human rights need to be on the agenda he of us to everyone that will be viewing this fight, that will be viewing this fight, that will be viewing this fight, that will be interesting in it actually needs to be aware of the awful human rights record that saudi arabia has. one of the top executing countries in the world, systematically discriminates against women. women human rights activists in prison just because of their peaceful activities. carried out bombings in yemen at the moment. terrible human rights torturing in custody. its re cord rights torturing in custody. its record is really abysmal. and that

is all from us. thank you for joining with —— joining us. stay with us, coming up in a moment on bbc news, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with mejessica elgot and katy balls. welcome to both, good to have you with us. many of tuesday's front pages are in. let's ta ke tuesday's front pages are in. let's take a at whatjessica and katy have been looking for. the daily telegraph said boris johnson been looking for. the daily telegraph said borisjohnson has the support of more than half the public

for securing brexit by any means necessary. the times has the story the us says it will enthusiastically back and no—deal brexit. the guardian said boris johnson back and no—deal brexit. the guardian said borisjohnson is preparing for a parliamentary battle against mps trying to block no—deal brexit beginning in the second week of september. as his cross—party opponents continue to be divided about the best way to stop the uk crashing out on october 31. the express highlights new figures that are violent assaults on police have risen by one third in just four yea rs. risen by one third in just four years. according to the eye, ministers urging a ban on all mobile phone usage, including hands—free phones while driving. the mirror picks up on the speech in australia by nigel farage, saying he faces fury over his comments about the duke and duchess of sussex. metro reports the has imposed a ban selling burgers on campus to do their bit in helping to stop climate change. the ft highlights argentina

losing one fifth of its value after the election caused a run on the currency. the election caused a run on the currency. also an article about facial recognition technology. let's plunge in with the telegraph. public backs borisjohnson to shut down parliament for brexit? yes, a survey that has been commissioned. i think some have been quick to question parts of the survey but if you look at the findings, various things appear to support boris johnson at the findings, various things appear to support borisjohnson has not brexit position. 54% of the public or those surveyed believe that suspending parliament to get to brexit, to prevent people stopping a no—deal brexit would be acceptable. if you speak to mp5 no—deal brexit would be acceptable. if you speak to mps in parliament, thatis if you speak to mps in parliament, that is definitely not the consensus view. i think there's a majority view. i think there's a majority view that croaking is not acceptable but this poll suggesting the public disagree. also 88% of those surveyed
10:44 pm
believe parliament is out of touch. i don't know when parliament has been seen as being in touch! laughter a range of things along those lines which basically is depicting this idea that borisjohnson is more in tune with the country then a lot of mps and that is the gist of the peace in the telegraph. jessica, you area bit peace in the telegraph. jessica, you are a bit sceptical? one of the things that makes me more sceptical about it is it looks like there is a majority of voters who want by any means necessary, do or die, but excludes those who say they don't know and that can be a substantial number of people because clearly it kind of depends on the circumstances for a lot of people. sometimes, i think possibly the way it's been interpreted is interesting. 89% believes mps are ignoring the wishes of voters to pursue with their own agenda on brexit. people could think
10:45 pm
that coming from both sides of the spectrum, they could certainly think that coming from a remain perspective and therefore they would think that boris johnson perspective and therefore they would think that borisjohnson was doing that, so i don't think that necessarily should be viewed as a big boost to boris. the other question that is mentioned in a number of the papers, mentioned in the guardian as well is the importance of the second week in september. it hasn't quite got the same ring as remember remember the 5th of november but you never know. by 5th of november but you never know. by the ninth? this is because figures in government, we think this is the first chance... don't know what you'd call them, the national unity government coalition which might not be a majority, mps who wa nt might not be a majority, mps who want to prevent a no—deal brexit will have a chance to take one of the various steps that could give them the power. what they are thinking they can do on the 9th of
10:46 pm
september is the government is due to publish an update on northern ireland's attempts to form a devolved administration and that would mean there is something for them to latch onto. one of the reasons no deal is a lot harder to stop than it was a couple of months ago is that this government doesn't have a majority and it could also put through very little legislation. in fact, hearing they don't plan to do any legislation that can be hijacked for this very reason. they haven't done anything a month, in terms of legislation! this is one of the first opportunities for them to try it. the first opportunity for them to try and do something would be the 3rd of september, when parliament returns in the first day it is possible thatjeremy corbyn could call a no—confidence vote in the government. it seems like the remainer rebels are backing away from the idea of doing that straightaway, just because they think the idea of defeating boris johnson is a lot more difficult u nless johnson is a lot more difficult unless you really push it to the
10:47 pm
very last minute, because it's a huge dealfor very last minute, because it's a huge deal for conservative mps to vote against their own government. so the later you leave that, probably be better. so the later you leave that, probably be betterlj so the later you leave that, probably be better. i think there is also a sense amongst conservative mps that they would try to exhaust some of the less nuclear options... before. for a lot of tory mps, they must think if they do it is effectively the end their career. relating to this in the times, the suggestion that what might happen if there is no—deal brexit and we walk out of the european union without a deal, john poulton, the man on the white horse for this particular story, about suggestions of a trade deal? yes, national security adviser, quite a hawkish character and he has been promising there will be this very swift us trade deal. he has promised something new, which is
10:48 pm
this sectoral trade deal, basically you can kind of do it, start with manufacturing and then move on to trigger things like financial services. or agriculture. yes, that's a big one because it covers chlorinated chicken, the one thing people know about in what a us trade deal might mean. it is progress and seems to signal that donald trump wa nts to seems to signal that donald trump wants to forge a bit of a different relationship... anglo us relationship... anglo us relationship after brexit but if you can do these kind of trade deals is questionable. i don't think the wto... questionable. i don't think the wto. .. they would questionable. i don't think the wto... they would have something to say about it. the trouble with a trade deal as it can take years, as we have seen with canada and us deals have taken years. this would be quicker but presumably it still faces the potential stumbling block of the us congress, which has some say over trade policy and the fact that we'll be coming into a presidential election year? yes,
10:49 pm
there are still plenty of hurdles. he tried to play down some of the congress issues and what has been said about the irish border. i do think the idea of breaking it down into smaller parts, i think that's encouraging for the government and thatis encouraging for the government and that is because people have tried to say the reason the us trade deal wooden workers because he would have to have agriculture in it which would be tricky because of chlorinated chicken but help would be something you would have to have in it. the nhs would be opened up. the idea the us would be willing to ta ke the idea the us would be willing to take something like manufacturing, ta ke take something like manufacturing, take steps and do it without the caveats of other industries i think it's something that is quite helpful to the government. i suppose it also makes it more difficult to do the trade—offs. you want to get particular access, so you kind of give up something that is less important to you. that can be difficult if you are doing it on a sector by sector basis. also, in terms of international trade law, it's difficult to do deals like this and not... not an expert but i think the wto wouldn't encourage it.
10:50 pm
donald trump is currently not the biggest fan of the wto so you can see why he might offer this but it's not as straightforward as them just offering it. another story on the front of the times. this is really interesting. this is to ban drivers from using even hands—free phones in ca rs. from using even hands—free phones in cars. yes, mps have said concerns they increasingly cause accidents. this idea that the problem is not just being on your mobile phone is something you are holding. hands—free, lots of people do that thinking it's a safe alternative but they are saying there is a big risk and mobile phone use, which they categorise as both, has led to several accidents and deaths and so—called. several accidents and deaths and so-called. they have figures about the casualties, 773 people died in on uk roads in an accident in which a driver using a mobile is a factor,
10:51 pm
it may not be the only one. they don't crunch it down. they don't say how many are hands—free. don't crunch it down. they don't say how many are hands-free. suspicious, one other paper has it as a headline. i think it might be the i, it says the risk is the same but they don't explain where that information comes from. and you do wonder what it is about using a hands—free device that might be a dangerous thing. just having a conversation, you wonder if that is the real distraction whether it is the real distraction whether it is the fiddling with it to get it to work and... getting up the gps. anything can distract you in a car, a child talking to you in the back or that whole, are we there yet? an argument with your spouse. the silly behaviour of another driver and you get more concentrated on what they are doing than what is happening for you. i found it are doing than what is happening for you. ifound it on are doing than what is happening for you. i found it on the temperament, drivers using a phone four times more likely to have a collision in hands—free does not reduce the risk.
10:52 pm
if that is true, quite a telling and worrying statistic. also seems to suggest existing punishments don't seem to do enough to deter drivers of don't seem to punish people strongly enough because of the danger of using it. briefly, very striking image. this is the scene in the airport. it could be like a very bad day at terminal five after the technology packed up last week except the difference being everyone is sitting very politely on the floor rather than shouting at the staff. this is hong kong, katy, where things are taking a very ominous turn? yes, i think there was a point of view weeks ago when you thought the protest could be something that would be reduced, that would die down. actually, initially started over tensions with china over extradition forced up since then, there's been allegations of police brutality. there has been
10:53 pm
footage of police brutality. there have been figures that we don't know if they are in the police but people have suspicion they are linked to china, men violently intervening in the protest. possibly triads. now one protest has been shot in the eye. lots of protesters wearing eye patches in solidarity. very effective in lots of ways? it certainly has. hong kong airport is one of the world's busiest airports and to bring it to a standstill is very effective. you are seeing an escalation in rhetoric from the chinese government, which is very worrying. starting to talk about this in terms of terrorism, which is a very serious thing to say on doing demonstrations of water cannons. it seems like they are ready to ramp it up. but protesters show no sign of cooling down either. it will be a very interesting one to watch develop. jessica, your paper, a very interesting story on friday. many
10:54 pm
people watching this will have experienced the effects of a power blackout, whether stuck on a train in the middle of nowhere hoping the power would come back on or at home unable to get anything to work. the national grid according to this have had problems before? yes, we are reporting the national grid has experienced three near misses in as many months. so in three months, before friday, which left almost1 million homes and many people stranded, including myself is that i couldn't get back to leeds on friday night from king's cross. that will increase the scrutiny on the national grid, where there is a way is going to be an investigation on the app on friday. the national grid saying these are independent events that didn't necessarily... an u nfortu nate that didn't necessarily... an unfortunate accident. yes, but i think people are perhaps going to wa nt to think people are perhaps going to want to probe a bit deeper into that. the national grid at the time said they blamed the power cut on an incredibly rare issue. two is
10:55 pm
stations failed within a couple of minutes. incredibly rare but having it happen several times undermines the argument. political argument because jeremy corbyn the argument. political argument becausejeremy corbyn is talking about renationalisation of the grid. ijust think how about renationalisation of the grid. i just think how would about renationalisation of the grid. ijust think how would that change it, necessarily? again, i'm sure it's something, if you can find a way, you can weapon eyes. absolutely, good way of putting it. we will skip the ft. maybe talk about that at 11:30pm. this dramatic decision by goldsmiths university of london. it will probably horrify stu d e nts london. it will probably horrify students everywhere to hear this because it could be the shape of things to come. goldsmith university has decided to ban beef burgers and the reason they give for that is beef is one of the most things that produces carbon into the atmosphere and so therefore it is
10:56 pm
environmentally friendly to ban people eating beef. the college board and says it's impossible to ignore a call for action which they say comes ignore a call for action which they say comes from students who feel passionately about the environment. if you're going to do this anyway, i think goldsmiths has a reputation for being quite cutting—edge and quite politically active so i think this possibly would go down better with goldsmith students then perhaps in other areas stop and they can just leave the campus and get a burger somewhere else!” just leave the campus and get a burger somewhere else! i do think there is something in this, they are doing it because they want to become carbon neutral by 2025. i think that when people talk about becoming carbon neutral and there are all these targets come off and you don't talk about what that means for consumer talk about what that means for consumer choices and to be aware of what you have to do in your daily life to get those to those targets and agreed to do it, i think it's helpful to the debate. in some ways a good addition to that debate. a p pa re ntly a good addition to that debate. apparently it's all to do... i only know this because i was talking to
10:57 pm
our science editor, it's to do not so much with carroll's wind but they are burping too much because they have two stomachs on the front one is where the stomach lies. there you go. that is it from the papers this hour. don't forget, you can take a look at the front pages when they arrive online on the bbc news website and if you miss the programmer want to watch it later you can catch it on the bbc iplayer. i will be back with more news at 11. coming up, the live weather forecast. it looks like this changeable cool weather is here to stay. we had a fair number of showers around today and there is some rain out there tonight. very hit and miss. here is the headline for the rest of the week, cool and breezy. the headline for the rest of the week, cooland breezy. in the headline for the rest of the week, cool and breezy. in fact, as
10:58 pm
far as the end of the week is concerned at the weekend, even more u nsettled concerned at the weekend, even more unsettled and changeable, even more wind and rain heading our way. anyway, still only monday. this is what it looks like out there early hours of tuesday. a lot of clear weather, temperature is around ten in london, eight or nine in the north, nippy in rural scotland, down to about 6 degrees. if you look at the map, you can see where the showers are. only 5—10 miles across, may be less than that so light and fleeting, at least most of them. won't last very long. for many of us, a case won't last very long. for many of us, a case of sunshine and scattered fair weather clouds. mostly light winds so should feel decent, 21 in london. no higher than 16 or 17 in scotla nd london. no higher than 16 or 17 in scotland and northern ireland. notice here that the clouds are increasing in the south—west. that should reach cornwall and devon a little later on on tuesday evening foster for most of us, tuesday evening looking fine, beautiful sunset out there. here is mid week. a succession of weather fronts and all heading our way, one, two,
10:59 pm
three, another one there, making a beeline for the uk. the first or second or third arrives in southern parts of the uk, england and wales getting the rain in the afternoon and rain expected in northern ireland and western parts of scotland. they bit here in the middle, north yorkshire, the north—east of england may not get the rain untila north—east of england may not get the rain until a lot later in the day but i think wednesday will be quite unpredictable. thursday, you can see on the weather icons, that most of the major centres, looks as though it will be dry and bright. some sunshine around as well. come friday, the weather is expected to go back downhill and in fact, the low pressure and friday is big, big area of low pressure with strong winds pushing the weather front towards the uk. outbreaks of rain for the south—west, wales, the lake district, western scotland as well. there could be some rumbles of thunder with that but relatively
11:00 pm
humid airso thunder with that but relatively humid air so temperatures still getting to around 20 degrees or so. 0ver getting to around 20 degrees or so. over the weekend, the low pressure still with us with more weather froms and rain heading our way to stop that is it, you're up to date, bye— bye. the headlines at 11pm. drug crime in inner cities has risen in rural communities and gangs are targeting the most vulnerable. they are from the most vulnerable. they are from the most vulnerable. they are from the most deprived backgrounds, either they have been in care or they are on registers. boris johnson announces a review of sentencing for violent offenders. all flights violent offenders. all flights to and from one of the world's busiest transport hubs suspended after pro—democracy protesters occupied hong kong airport. women going through the menopause face a national shortage of
