11:30 pm
bring rain as far north but it could bring rain as far north as east anglia before it gradually sta rts as east anglia before it gradually starts to work its way down south and east, clearing during the early hours of the morning. for sunday gci’oss hours of the morning. for sunday across england and wales, it is largely dry, the chance of a few showers, tending to be through the northern half of the uk, for northern ireland and scotland, close to our area of low pressure. temperatures midteens at best, 21 down towards the south and east. into next week, here is the area of low pressure drifting towards the north and east, still influencing oui’ north and east, still influencing our weather at high pressure sitting down towards the south and west. so through monday, for england and wales it is a very similar set up to sunday, a lot of dry weather around, some good spells of sunshine, the chance of a few showers showers more frequent for northern ireland and scotland. lighter winds, so where we do get to see some sunshine, it should feel a little more pleasant with highs of 21 celsius. into
11:31 pm
monday night and tuesday, our area of high pressure just starts to edge a little closer, the isobars begin to open up, which means the wind drops out. through tuesday a bit of a quieter day on the cards, it won't be plain sailing, wall—to—wall blue skies, we have further showers for wales, northern england and up into scotland, but a good deal of fine, dry weather elsewhere, some cells of sunshine and with lighter winds are different feel to the day. bridges 14-21. different feel to the day. bridges 14—21. back to ourjetstream, it is still south of the uk through next week, it does weaken slightly, and week, it does weaken slightly, and we have a couple of scenarios. at the moment one that looks most likely is follow pressure to have a greater influence on our weather, so if that happens it will be cooler, brazier and times wet, spells of rain, ourarea of brazier and times wet, spells of rain, our area of high pressure still sits towards the south and west. —— brazier. there is still the chance that high—pressure could start to build from the south—west,
11:32 pm
helping to settle things down, the southern half of the uk at least where it should be drier and warmer. still a lot to play for over the coming few days, stay tuned to the forecast.
11:33 pm
hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. a police officer is killed while investigating a robbery. pc andrew harper was 28—years—old and had been married just four weeks ago. the murder of pc andrew harper is a mindless and a brutal crime and obviously all our thoughts are with his family, his friends and his colleagues. jeremy corbyn cannot unite politicians against a no—deal brexit, that's according
11:34 pm
to tory mp ken clarke, who confirmed he would step in to lead, if called upon. he becomes prime minister if he wins a general election, which i don't he ever will. hope for 5,000 british steel workers, after a tentative deal to rescue the company from insolvency. a group of women diagnosed with a rare form of cancer linked to breast implants, take legal action. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are new european columnist and playwright bonnie greer and the associate director of iea, kate andrews. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in.
11:35 pm
the telegraph reports that conservative mp ken clarke is willing to become a caretaker prime minister to avoid a no—deal brexit. the guardian, along with many other papers, leads on the widespread murder investigation that is under way after pc andrew harper was murdered on duty after attending a burglary in berkshire. the ‘i' reports that a 13—year—old boy is one of the ten suspects detained by police after the officers murder. 0n the same story, the mail says that pc andrew harper was killed just four weeks after his wedding day. the sun reports that police officer andrew harper died after being dragged under the wheels of the car. the mirror again leads with the police officer's death, reporting that he was due to go on holiday with his new wife next week. the times says the chancellor sajid javid is considering a change to stamp duty that would ensure first—time buyers never pay tax.
11:36 pm
and on the front of the ft, the news that cathay pacific airlines has changed its chief executive after pressure from beijing. let's ta ke let's take a look at at least some of those in the next quarter of an hour. this is from the son, and inevitably like so many other papers, it's the story of what happened to andrew harper. tragic news. he was dragged underneath the car, which resulted in his death one month after he was married to his partner lizzie before he was going on honeymoon. it's a sense as the tragic story and it's hard to compute in many ways. there's a lot to say between the relationship between police officers and violent
11:37 pm
assault. it's just so between police officers and violent assault. it'sjust so painful and sad and as bonnie said earlier it sounds like a cliche. it's a tragedy. there isn't anything you can say other than what we were talking about last time, kate and i have talked about, in the country we we re have talked about, in the country we were born and raised in, united states of america, this wouldn't be in the news. it happens all the time. it happens all the time and we need to remember that this country is policed by consent and no matter how you feel about the police, no matter what they've done to you, at the end of the day, if you are approached by a police person, you are approached by an unarmed person. and this unarmed person is at the same status as you in that sense, and in america that isn't necessarily true. you're confronted by an armed individual. in this
11:38 pm
country you are confronted by an unarmed individual and that's really what i want to say more than anything else. policing here is very, very different and if we change it, if we change it, it is going to be for the worse as far as i'm concerned. moving onto the telegraph, they are covering this story as well. they have a photo from the couple's recent wedding and also reference to the fact is the first officer to be given on duty for more than two years, but reference to the fact that there has been more violence towards police in recent times. an officer in the us midlands suffered potentially life changing injuries, there have been multiple stories on the front page of the telegraph talking about people who have died but have been a victim of violent attacks these are police officers, as bonnie says, they approach situations and are doing so in an equal balance of physical power at the time. andrew
11:39 pm
harper was murdered for not having the opportunity to defend themselves and it's just horrid. the opportunity to defend themselves and it'sjust horrid. but the opportunity to defend themselves and it's just horrid. but i the opportunity to defend themselves and it'sjust horrid. but i think what we have to highlight here as well as this is the same way there was an attack outside the home 0ffice was an attack outside the home office and that borisjohnson has announced there are going to be changes to the way no crime in particular is policed in the uk. hopefully we can get to a system where everyone is more accountable for their actions and police officers and civilians are more protected. we also have to say that we're talking about time, were talking about training, you're talking about training, you're talking about training, you're talking about taking the police from another point of view in relation to the people they confront. if the home secretary steps up stop—and—search, the police will never be ahead of the people with knives. it will never happen. so you have to actually change the police and that's not being talked about and that's not being talked about and 1's and that's not being talked about and i'sa and that's not being talked about and 1's a very serious thing because as knife crime — and i'm from a very
11:40 pm
well the neighbourhood in chicago — you raise it up on one side, you have to raise it up on the other. people have to take responsibility for that and i don't think the home secretary has a clue what she's saying when she tells a neighbourhood police person you go out there, you don't make you look at the guy, you stop—and—search him. he's got ape in apperley —— panapoly, he's got ape in apperley —— pa napoly, i he's got ape in apperley —— panapoly, i don't think they know how to deal with it. and also being in an atmosphere where they don't know where they are, too. i'm just going to break into our conversation, just to talk politics for a moment. two items of breaking news to viewers. the us warrant has been issued for the seizure of the iranian oil tanker which was these dingy roles are, a court document
11:41 pm
ratifies that development. it was suggested that might happen because the gibraltar aryans were saying this morning that the tanker which was seized two weeks ago would be released —— gibraltarians. and news that peter fonda, has died at the age of 79 after suffering respiratory failure from lung cancer. people magazine citing a statement from his family in the family said it was with deep sorrow that we share the news that peter fonda has passed away. he was 79. let's continue with our discussion about the papers. bonnie, we are still with the telegraph. this is kenneth clark and what he might — well he might suddenly end up in
11:42 pm
number ten downing street, briefly. asa number ten downing street, briefly. as a playwright, if i presented this character to a director they would say, this guy called ken clarke, a quy say, this guy called ken clarke, a guy is suddenly told his possibly is going to be the caretaker pm, that isa going to be the caretaker pm, that is a comedy. he says he is willing to do it, he didn't know that it was happening, his very shocked, but he's here to help. and that is the latest chapter in this. kate, where you stand on it? it doesn't seem like a likely scenario come together because it seems like the labour party and conservative party would have to work together. it doesn't really seem in the realms of possibility in our current political
11:43 pm
climate. but if there were a true emergency on our climate. but if there were a true emergency on our hands and someone — can quite inappropriately references the two world wars. it is the father of the house, his held the main most important positions in his governments in his time, but when you start using the words like emergency to talk about how the uk has delivered the european union eventually. when you use that language to try to stop that from happening ina language to try to stop that from happening in a meaningful way, you lose some power and i think there are a lot of leave voters who are saying what is the emergency? he says he may chose to renegotiate the source of deal that was on the table already. that can't happen either because the eu's got too much — they have no incentive to do that. they have no incentive to do that. they have no incentive to do that. they have no incentive to negotiate. they have no incentive to negotiate. they have 27 other nations, they have
11:44 pm
matteo salvini in italyjust dying for something like this to happen so he can vote it down. they can't risk this and it's now single does he is ina this and it's now single does he is in a white whole forests. this one involving kenneth clarke and harriet harman, there's jeremy involving kenneth clarke and harriet harman, there'sjeremy corbyn posing for something as well but it's time you look at these different suggestions, those people have still got to amass a majority in the houses of parliament in order to make this happen. it's one of the most politically divided times in modern history. and asking mps to undermine the party in many ways, to back what their constituent doesn't wa nt back what their constituent doesn't want them to do —— constituency. back what their constituent doesn't want them to do -- constituency. and you asking conservatives to back a potential prime minister, jeremy corbyn, which theoretically they would not do. also, it'sjust absolutely bananas. and that's
11:45 pm
taking into a fact that the tories just had a leadership election. if you wanted to become the next tory leader, you had the opportunity. borisjohnson won by leader, you had the opportunity. boris johnson won by a landslide. leader, you had the opportunity. borisjohnson won by a landslide. i think the sunset of anti— democracy really shines through. again, as i said in the last half—hour, the problem is there are now two mandates on this table, always have been. there is a majority vote in the referendum, and there's also the duty of the house to actually do the best for the country, no matter what the result was. i think some of these people are really grappling with that because no deal is super bad news. so we can'tjust go out of here with nothing. so, what you do, how you do it? we don't have a lot of states people in the house, we don't have a lot of people who are
11:46 pm
country before party, we really do need those kind of people. let's continue the conversation via the guardian. asimilar continue the conversation via the guardian. a similar angle to some of the things you have been saying already. focusing more on jeremy corbyn and the labour party, as you mentioned there are different remain factions, a potentially softer brexiteer factions as well, who want to "-- brexiteer factions as well, who want to "—— overthrow this current government who said we will be leading on the 31st, deal or no deal. jeremy corbyn has been met with frustration because there may be more interest in a can clark— harriet harman government then in his own. the liberal democrats have rejected bringing jeremy corbyn in as the no deal leader to stop an ideal brexit, there is has been pushed back, and in some ways he thinks he is entitled to this as he is the official leader of the opposition. 0ther is the official leader of the opposition. other mps and other parties have a different idea. the
11:47 pm
problem with labour is they have been buzzy. you don't know where they stand, i don't know where they stand, iam they stand, i don't know where they stand, i am a labour motor, i don't know where they stand. now suddenly —— labour motor. they have suddenly decided they are going to be the leaders of a government of reconciliation —— voter. with is absurd on its face. the train has left the station for labour, and that's it, the toot toot is out in the distance. it has been a journey from the labor party to go from jeremy corbyn who has historically been extremely eurosceptic, to say they could implement a second referendum. they could have been, but now it's too late. that's turn oui’ but now it's too late. that's turn our attention to the times, a different legal story entirely. sellers to pay stamp duty under a
11:48 pm
tax sha keup by sellers to pay stamp duty under a tax shakeup by the chancellor.m a lwa ys tax shakeup by the chancellor.m always amazes me about the conservatives, i don't know what kind of country ac, but somehow everybody has a home. you have a big home or a little home, whatever, and so home or a little home, whatever, and so now you can home or a little home, whatever, and so now you can do stamp duty, most people don't have a home. own one. they don't own a home. this is not actually going to help a whole lot of people, maybe the people they think are going to actually go vote for them, most people don't own a home. i don't own a home, a lot of people don't. we are in a situation where most of your taxes comes through cost of living, your food, your petrol, all of that, they are not doing jack to anything about this. this is theatre, and it's an appeal to what they think is their core, that gave borisjohnson the vote. does add up to you, kate? it doesn't add up for me, stamp duty is a distortionary tax and if you move it from this you are buying —— who are buying to those who are selling,
11:49 pm
you are still december —— this incentivising people. there might be people who want to downsize but don't have the incentive to do it. i think scrapping stamp duty would be meaningful, there are people who wa nt meaningful, there are people who want to get on the housing ladder, who are housing ladder who want to move, anything to bring down costs and make that more competitive would bea and make that more competitive would be a good thing. and if you don't owi'i be a good thing. and if you don't own a home in the uk you want to, it isa own a home in the uk you want to, it is a country of home ownership. this is a country of home ownership. this is tinkering at the edges. seeing stamp duty go would be fantastic, that's the first step to liberalising the market... it is expensive, isn't it? it is not the amazing revenue raiser that people seem amazing revenue raiser that people seem to think it is. as the assumption of the times that somehow that this will make a big difference in people's lives in relation to this party, and i say no. but let's say they scrap it, they could be the first step to liberalising the planning system, building homes, bringing down the cost and bringing
11:50 pm
people onto the market. you have to get the land, and i haven't done that, and this is all smoke. the ft weekend, british steel hopes rise as turkish fund agrees to be a —— by business as going concern, potentially good news for those people in scu nthorpe potentially good news for those people in scunthorpe that we have been talking about. people in scunthorpe that we have been talking aboutlj people in scunthorpe that we have been talking about. i turkish investment group may be offering a rescue deal for british steel, 4000 workers at british steel are worried, understandably so about losing theirjobs. or industry in the uk that has been in decline, not just for the past few years and not just for the past few years and not just because of the exit for a decade at least, not to say there is not some uncertainty about the exit, but like the car industry... where is the steel going? i know you are sceptical... i am fascinated, because i hope they are rescued, i do. but i am interested in, turkeys
11:51 pm
and in the eu, britain will not be in the eu, where is the stuff going? i what particular interested is that a turkish investment group has decided that this deal is profitable to buy? that's what doesn't add up. exactly. that is my point. however, individuals cannot always dictate where that market is going, if it got some great insight, fine. where that market is going, if it got some great insight, finem where that market is going, if it got some great insight, fine. it is not about the market. we won't go there. we simply won't full-time reasons. clock has checked, we don't even get to talk about greenland. thank you both very much. 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, bonnie and kate. goodbye.
11:52 pm
a very good evening to you, i'm ben croucher with the latest from the bbc sport centre england were hoping to get their ashes back on track in the second test at lord's, but it seems the british summer doesn't want to play ball. after day one was a washout, we managed just a single session on friday. england had reduced australia to 80/4, having been 30/1 at the start of play. jofra archer claimed his first test wicket in cameron bancroft, but steve smith was still at the crease when the heavens opened around 1 o'clock. we are we a re pretty we are pretty positive, we would need to bowl australia lunch tomorrow, there is 98 overs for the next two days, isn't there. which for both teams has been enough to
11:53 pm
bowl each other out, isn't it? there is certainly hope the both sides. it could be quite an interesting, intriguing game left in this test match, although we have lost so much terrain. 0ur bowling unit's aim is to get the next six wickets by lunch. huddersfield town have sacked their managerjan siewert after just three games of the championship. it's following their 2—1 defeat tonight by fulham. huddersfield haven't won a game in any competition since february and after their relegation from the premier league, they've picked upjust one point out of nine and were knocked out of the league cup in midweek by lincoln. hearts are the first side into the quarter finals of the scottish league cup. they beat motherwell 2—1 in atrocious conditions at fir park. michael smith's opener was the pick of the goals. he cost barcelona more than £100 million, but after just 1.5 years phillipe coutinho looks to be heading for the exit. it looks to be just on loan for now, with the club's director
11:54 pm
guillermo amor saying a deal has been agreed in principle with bayern munich. he had been linked with tottenham before the transfer window in england shut. no coutinho for barca tonight — no lionel messi either. and no points after this stunning strike from aritz adruiz gave atletic bilbao victory on the opening day of the la liga season. adruiz will be retiring at the end of the season. at the age of 38. liverpool are playing their third game of the season tomorrow when they travel to southampton. and they're arleady on their third goalkeeper too. allison got injured last friday. his replacement adrian was crocked in unusual circumstance on wednesday. managerjurgen klopp says the spaniard was injured during post—match celebrations, following liverpool's win over chelsea in the super cup after a fan slipped and collided with him. former preston keeper andy lonergan
11:55 pm
is poised to become the oldest premier league debutant this century, at the age of 35. when we're altogether, a supporter jumped over something, was chased by some security guys, slept, and kicked his ankle. yeah. crazy. so it was swollen, today i spoke to him, he is here, i spoke to him, he said it is much better than yesterday, but we have to see. there is no doubt about how much we love our fans, there is no doubt about that, but if they could all stop doing that, that is now the worst example actually ever. in the super league, wigan beat warrington wolves for the first time this season. a dominant first half from the warriors saw tries from bevan french and zak hardaker to give them a comfortable lead on their way to a 20—6 victory. they move level on points with warrington in second.
11:56 pm
plenty more on all those stories, and the tennis from cincinatti, where andy murray and jamie murray have been facing off in the doubles. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the team, have a great weekend. this weekend brings a mixture of sunshine, blustery showers, friday was a poor day for england and wales, the wettest weather, list weather front is taking the cloud and ran away, that area of low pressure is going to sit around in the same sort of place right the way through the weekend. it will focus the showers, so quite a few showers into northern ireland, spilling their way into western parts of scotland, for england and wales they could be a fleeting shower, but not very many, and a good deal of sunshine on the way. the winds will be quite strong, not as strong as they were last weekend, strengthening in the northwest as the wetter weather arrives later in the wetter weather arrives later in the day. temperatures 17—18,
11:57 pm
scotla nd the day. temperatures 17—18, scotland and northern ireland, but we're back to 22—23 across eastern of england. into the day here we have cloud increasing across southern counties, threatening to bring rain overnight, those showers get going in scotland and northern ireland, heavy and hungry, maybe some longer spells of rain, and those temperatures weekly 11— 13 degrees. as we head into the second half of the weekend that weather front should take any ran away from the south—east corner from overnight, that low pressure is still they are, so we have a lot of showers again to come to scotland and northern ireland, blustery winds to commit those showers heavy and thundery, a few more showers coming into northern england, north wales and into the south—west of england as well, best chance of dry weather in the midlands and eastern parts of england. again we have other strong and blustery west— south—westerly winds, taking the edge of the temperatures to a certain extent, those numbers on sunday very similar to what we were expecting on saturday. as we head into next week
11:58 pm
that low pressure area is going to start to pull away towards scandinavia, but we have still got a focus of them showers across scotla nd focus of them showers across scotland and northern ireland, again they could be happy and hungry, a few coming into england and wales, chiefly western areas, one or two will get into the east as well through the afternoon. the wind is beginning to ease down a little bit and those temperatures 16— 21 celsius. into next week, we will find most of the wet weather in the north—west of the uk, it will feel warm when the sun comes out, temperatures nothing to write home about but the wind will be lighter.
