get a cut-off the atmosphere and you get a cut—off low. this changes wins by 180 degrees, a huge change with huge effects on whether on this cut—off low could be over spain or southern england, 1000 miles, and different models are telling us different things so that is no certainty with the forecast on monday. 0ne scenario, one model shows a band of rain coming into the north—west of the uk. it would be hot through monday and tuesday with more that warm sunshine but an alternative scenario shows that weather front through monday and tuesday staying mainly away from the uk and instead, we get some big thunderstorms moving up we get some big thunderstorms moving up from the south to the kind of differences we're looking but in the forecast for and tuesday. ultimately the weather changes and becomes more u nsettled the weather changes and becomes more unsettled but the details of rain and thundery showers is uncertain and thundery showers is uncertain and how hot, uncertain through monday and tuesday and the timing of that change to more unsettled weather as well.

the french president tells borisjohnson the irish backstop is "indespensible", despite the pm wanting to scrap it. why a no deal brexit could lead to more domestic waste ending up in landfill sites in england. guess where it will end up? the gcse pass rate is up slightly and that's despite warnings from teachers that some students struggled. a man who filmed a model of grenfell tower being burned on a bonfire is found not guilty on two charges of posting grossly offensive material. and no river in the england is currently safe to swim in — that's the stark warning from scientists about the levels of sewage in waterways. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers
11:33 pm
will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are anna mikhailova, who's deputy political editor at the daily telegraph, and the economist, and member of labour's policy forum, grace blakeley. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. it's borisjohnson‘s trip to france which is monopolising many of the newspapers, and it's the thorny issue of the backstop which the independent has focussed on. a picture the fires in the amazon is on the front page of the financial times, alongside their main article which suggests the eu is planning a crackdown on use of facial recognition in public places. ‘johnson demands fresh border plan‘ — boris johnson's meeting with president macron also dominates the front of the daily telegraph. and it's a similar story on the guardian, the paperfocuses on president macron saying the irish backstop is "indespensible". the sun reports the duke of cambridge took a commercial flight with his family on a trip to scotland, that's after his brother's much criticised trip on a private jet for a holiday in
11:34 pm
the south of france. ladies, the south of france. let's trek on. brexit on the front ladies, let's trek on. brexit on the front pages of most papers. johnson encounters french resistance. that ta ke encounters french resistance. that take is there is a push back to his desire for open renegotiations and to get rid of the backstop. we had a curious meeting today where boris johnson went to paris, after what was quite a successful trip to berlin and had this meeting with president macron which was a very jolly, president macron which was a very jolly, they seem to get along on a personal level and then everyone has a two completely polar opposite views of what the meaning was. when you look at what president macron
11:35 pm
says, is that of said both sides. both encouraging and discouraging and possibly the likelihood of a brexit deal, whichever side you are wrong, you could say yes, fantastic, we are absolutely going to get a change. —— you are on. and others would say that nothing has changed. what was markedly different was that mr macron said the withdrawal agreement can be reopened for the first time. whether or not this means boris johnson can first time. whether or not this means borisjohnson can secure a change, we have some movement, a reinvigoration of the process. what was your take? a lot has been made about the stylistic qualities, poses, but ultimately very little has changed unless borisjohnson can
11:36 pm
think up an alternative to the irish backstop which nobody has been able to do, we remain in the same position. either bringing back the deal from theresa may back to parliament or lena goessling. either you have a border in ireland or you have some form of checks on the border ——or renegotiate. we could have some checks on some goods and technological solution but this has been loved out of the room... the alternative arrangement which was reported back a month ago but much has been made of it now. boris johnson has mentioned that in both his meetings with president macron and angela merkel. in both meetings
11:37 pm
he prays that. a lot hinges on technological solutions people have proposed repeatedly for the irish border. i think you have it there. borisjohnson border. i think you have it there. boris johnson came back... into the daily express... are quite curious picture to see. it conveyed the famous optimism... he thinks he has had a huge success if that picture is anything to go by.|j had a huge success if that picture is anything to go by. i think he has had success. how many of these meetings from theresa may did we see? the truth is he may think they we re see? the truth is he may think they were a see? the truth is he may think they we re a su ccess see? the truth is he may think they were a success and see? the truth is he may think they were a success and there was movement from both of them, ultimately, even mr macron and angler vocal, as influential as they are, do not mean the eu 27, who move asa
11:38 pm
are, do not mean the eu 27, who move as a block, will come our way but as we we re as a block, will come our way but as we were talking just now as well, one of the most fascinating things is we have some possible glimmer of hope on the backstop if the uk presents solutions fast enough and well enough. we have in the telegraph today, tomorrow... this is your peace? inside, a separate piece. i can give you the scoop, it is an interesting indication of how everyone's position is hardening. brexiteer saying getting rid of the backstop will not be enough to get it through parliament. six months ago it would have been 100% tojust have a tiny tweak but now no backstop is not enough. we have various people trying to pay politics. borisjohnson playing up to the e06 and the brexit party ——er
11:39 pm
g. borisjohnson has to to the e06 and the brexit party ——er g. boris johnson has to affect this kind of ability to be able to make it seem like he is pushing for some sort of deal, he cannot be looking like he is gunning for a no—deal brexit without alienating brexiteers. that is a very challenging balancing act to try to undertake. it is what brought down theresa may and, ultimately, unless these divisions within the conservative party can find a way to being healed, this is a saga that will continue for some time. a fresh border planned is the headline. whitehall sources saying this alternative arrangement commission and it is the work of people who are sensible. does it actually make any difference? if talking today, as i
11:40 pm
have done to people in ireland and france, that there is nothing in this that is workable and that will be approved by the eu? what we have looked at nfs, borisjohnson comes back to downing street and he has already, even at the start of this week, starting to talk to ministers and civil servants saying you need to find some sort of solution to bring back to the eu and every indication is that it will be based on this report in thejune and the sensible comment is, obviously entirely subjective, and you make excellent points because a lot of solutions have been put forward not by this group by others, like steve baker, and this group's report was seen as slightly different because he had people like nicky morgan, who was a more moderate and unifying
11:41 pm
voice in the party, but whether or not this solutions can actually work at the moment that report is to backbench mps and it is going to be a different thing in the hands of civil servants that will have to make a document which is different out of it. it implies that things that have come up before another sensible or a proper piece of work. not surprising to anyone who has been watching the brexit process. they have had a lot of time to be able to figure out what to do over ireland. for a large able to figure out what to do over ireland. fora large part, the point at which this process was negotiated is that nobody took the issue seriously. the northern ireland office at always been a backwater position, people were not paying attention to it and it northern ireland is one of the poorest regions in the uk and been neglected by politicians after politicians.
11:42 pm
ministers have not been paying attention to it for the past two years. where is labour sitting on this now? willjeremy corbyn back him as being interim prime minister? there has been a lot of talk about the government of unity, the kind of dream of people who consider themselves sensible themselves. they would like to think that making sure that boris does not come through with an ideal exit is the biggest challenge to parliament —— no—deal brexit. initially they wanted it to be headed by a kind of reasonable backbencher and then jeremy corbyn stepped forward and said i am willing to lead the re— negotiations for this. it was never going to happen. it was a dream of people who wanted to stop johnson getting a no—deal brexit. it was not going to
11:43 pm
happen. boris does have a slim majority but it is a majority and there is no way you can imagine them getting through a vote of no—confidence and forming a new government in that time. i do think at this point we are looking towards at this point we are looking towards a general election... sudden not a vote of no confidence in early september? it is possible but i thinkjohnson will make it look like parliament has tried to stop him, ta ke parliament has tried to stop him, take it to an election, and if you wa nt take it to an election, and if you want me to deliver brexit you have to re—elect me. want me to deliver brexit you have to re-elect me. in the financial times, the jungle to re-elect me. in the financial times, thejungle blaze in brazil spreads. this is about the fires started deliberately that i think most people accept that in brazil. her started them? president jair bolsonaro is blaming the ngos,
11:44 pm
others say he is encouraging farmers to do this because it will allow to clear the land for new props. whatever is happening, it is devastating. this links back to what jair bolsonaro has been saying which isa jair bolsonaro has been saying which is a dismissal of notjust environmental issues, the amazon is such an important part of the ecosystem, but the lives of indigenous people who make this area their home and he has said he wants to tearup their home and he has said he wants to tear up environmental regulations, allow for capital to be put it which is why he has been so popular among international press and this is the direct result of rhetoric like that which sees the environment as that. brexit aside, this is an extremely wiring global trend of people playing politics
11:45 pm
which should be people getting together and finding a solution for the world but sadly climate change, or the carbon offsetting, all the way that business place with the environment and our concerns about climate change and makes money out of it and finds a way to doing that and the way that governments like brazil and donald trump in america have completely politicise the issue. 2096 of the oxygen of the world co m es issue. 2096 of the oxygen of the world comes from the amazon so we all needed. this is about cracking down on facial recognition in public areas. this is a hot topic. recognition cameras on king's cross. what is the eu doing? there is a lot of concern. we had
11:46 pm
data protection coming in, when you're interacting with websites and doing things but these cameras, some which are owned by private corporations in the state, collecting loads of data about who is going well and doing what. we just don't know how that data is being used. it's a much wider rethink on the part of the eu about what data is, who has the right to it and how we should be using it. they've got to balance civil liberties with security. it sounds very good and positive in theory but one of the problems with technology like this and trying to regulate after—the—fact after we already started using it is, it's very hard to put it back in. the article mentioned the technology is ubiquitous in china where it is used for everything from when you go to a shop, when you try and get a loan. all these technologies allow your
11:47 pm
footprint, your face, whether or not you a good citizen is now everywhere and frankly we're not that far away any of that. that's something the eu is trying to stop, isn't it? the times, talking about gcse exams. they say girls are closing the gender gap in science and tech. hurrah. it's a good story because we've been told girls are persistently being outperformed by boysin persistently being outperformed by boys in maths and science and computing. 0ther boys in maths and science and computing. other things that people might call harder skills other than soft english and history and there is an attempt by some quarters to come out and naturalise this. actually we can now see that as a result of a campaign to get girls to ta ke result of a campaign to get girls to take up computing, science, maths, they are closing that gap. com pletely they are closing that gap. completely unsurprisingly and long overdue. imputing the girls, they
11:48 pm
still only make up 21% of the total numbers were taking the subject. i suppose there needs to be more analysis of how they can close that gap further but one example i was reading was saying they want to attract more mail candidates to english literature so they are changing the books that are compulsory to read. it all plays into it. all of these things are ultimately hard to change but you can design syllabuses in ways that can design syllabuses in ways that can address a balance and teach subjects in certain ways. within maths, you have so many different types of maths. some people are better at statistics or algebra. you need to and tailor it to people and what their skill sets are. as opposed to making it this bogeyman of oh, no, you can't touch this. it
11:49 pm
also makes me wonder why when they start up in the same place in primary school, why does that drop—off happen? primary school, why does that drop-off happen? i think a lot of it is about representation. if you look at the big band theory. the scientists, they are all men and it's often repeated in the shows we have about technology and computing. it's perhaps not surprisingly girls and a being put off that. it's also su btle and a being put off that. it's also subtle hues they often pick up from their environment. as we get away from that and start to see, we have this regulation about advertising, not reproducing gender stereotypes, we will start to see this continue. wills gives harry a flying lesson. 0uch. tell us about this. wills gives harry a flying lesson. ouch. tell us about this. the gloves are off. after prince harry and meghan markle were flying in private jets over the summer to various
11:50 pm
foreign locations, today, william and kate have flown economy to aberdeen. just from norfolk to aberdeen? it does seem like something other pr stunt. there is a line here in the sun saying, there was little fuss, they were like a normalfamily. was little fuss, they were like a normal family. great was little fuss, they were like a normalfamily. great pr was little fuss, they were like a normal family. great pr for them. how big was their entourage? not just the five of them trotting off on this budget airline plane. you do wonder who is behind this stark contrast between two brothers now and whether they are deliberate. trying to make a clear delineation. we talk about a pr exercise but you sort of ask, a pr exercise by who.
11:51 pm
it's not really a pr exercise for buckingham palace. i know a lot of it is fuelled by the conspiracy theories and jealousies like they used to do with fergie and diana backin used to do with fergie and diana back in the day. pitting women against each other. and how much of it is, maybe there is a rift and we just don't know. certainly, more economy flights for everyone. i'd love to see the faces of the passengers. so what, their normal people at the end of the day. it's the taxpayers paying the 73 quid. 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 — 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers and if you miss the programme any
11:52 pm
evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thanks to anna milkhailova and grace blakeley. thanks for watching, goodnight. good evening — i'm eleanor roper. here's your latest sports news. it was a day of rain and interruptions in the third ashes test between england and australia. but it was a much brighter picture forjofra archer. he took six wickets as australia were bowled out for 179 in theirfirst innings. archer took 6/45, five of which of which came in the final session. but he began with the wicket of marcus harris. either side of two lengthy delays for rain and bad light, australia reached 136—2 thanks to a third—wicket stand of 111 between david warner and marcus labuschagne. but archer, who made such an impressive
11:53 pm
debut in the second test, had warner caught—behind for 61, to spark a collapse of 3 wickets for 3 runs. at 173 for 6, honours seemed to be even, only for archer to return once again and run through the tail. the last four wickets fell for six runs. i guess it's a thing that you really dream of. you train hard and you should be rewarded eventually in the game. i thought that we brought that asa game. i thought that we brought that as a team as well as lord's game. i thought that we brought that as a team as well as lords and if you keep bowling like that, you will get wickets and luckily enough for us, it happened today and i thought we we re us, it happened today and i thought we were going to lose a day of cricket but we were on the field long enough to actually force a first—innings result. in around 26 hours time, league one side bury could cease to exist. they have until midnight tomorrow to prove they've got the money to run the club 0r find a buyer. the english football league says
11:54 pm
that deadline could be extended but only if a sale's been agreed. the efl‘s executive chair debbie jevans has told the bbc they're working to find a solution with the club's owner steve dale, but that time is running out. we have been approached, we put the financial information to mr dale but if he does want to sell the club, he must prove to us that he has the money to sustain because nobody wa nts to money to sustain because nobody wants to see this club disappear, least of all me which is why we are working 24—7 to stop that happening. wolves are in a good position to qualify for the europa league group stage for the first time after winning 3—2 away in italy against torino. this raul himenez goal made it 3—1 before a late penalty for torino set up a nervy finish.
11:55 pm
the two teams meet again at molineux on the 29th of august with the winners moving into the main group stage of the competition. and the irish league champions have caused a huge shock. they beat carabag of azerbijan 3—2 in belfast with shayne lav—ery‘s goal the pick of the bunch. elsewhere celtic took a significant step towards the group stages after beating aik 2—nil in glasgow. and rangers play—off tie with legia warsaw remains finely poised after a goalless first leg in poland. 0nto some tennis and we now know serena williams will play maria sharapova in the first round of the us open at flushing meadows. . .williams will begin her quest for a seventh title in new york and record—tying 24th grand slam victory. she's dominated the russian star in their head—to—head rivalry, winning 19 times with only two defeats, including their past 18 meetings. most recently at the 2016
11:56 pm
australian open quarter—finals. and someone who was once a familiar face in rugby union — james haskell — is making a surprising career move. he's revealed he's training to become an mma fighter. the 34—year—old flanker won 77 caps for england and retired from rugby in may but he's now annnounced he'll be competing as a mixed martial artistist in the heavyweight division. he'll make his debut next year. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. hello there. the last time we had damages of 30 degrees in the uk, it was the heatwave back at the end last month. no heatwave this time around but over the weekend as it hots up, we may well find temperatures of 30 or 31 in the south—east of england. temperatures of 30 or 31 in the south-east of england. further north, around the edge of this area of high pressure, we've still got these atlantic breezes. we've still
11:57 pm
got a weather front in the north of scotla nd got a weather front in the north of scotland producing some rain but with those atlantic breezes, that's where we are seeing all this cloud around early in the morning and it's low enough to bring some mist and drizzle around some of those western hills. that should tend to lift in the cloud then in the rain initially happy towards the north—west corner of scotla nd happy towards the north—west corner of scotland will ease away and head up of scotland will ease away and head up towards the northern isles. across lincolnshire and east anglia in the afternoon. that will boost those temperatures up to a high of 27 in the south—east of england. and in the north, those temperatures are 20 or 21 celsius. the second day of the test match at headingley, it should be a dry day but for most of the day, a lot of cloud. it only really breaks up in the evening session. as we head into the weekend, the high pressure across europe and we are drawing more heat from around that and pushing it northwards into the uk. we've still got a weather front dangling around.
11:58 pm
that threatens one or two showers in the north—west of scotland on saturday and perhaps western parts of northern ireland but elsewhere the northern areas, we have sunshine. we've still got the sunshine. we've still got the sunshine further south. that heat is going to build very quickly and push its way north where it's perhaps getting into the mid—20s through the central belt of scotland, in a high of 30 around london and the south—east. still the possibility of wa nted south—east. still the possibility of wanted to robe showers in the north—west corner of scotland on sunday. a little bit more cloud to the far south—west but otherwise, sunny skies. the peak of the heat around london and the south—east. 30 or31. as we around london and the south—east. 30 or 31. as we head into next week, some uncertainty. cooling down a bit from the north—west. the chance of wa nted from the north—west. the chance of wanted to up from the near continent but this rain looks more likely to come down from the north—west, maybe
12:00 am
this is newsday on the bbc. i'm sharanjit leyl, in singapore. the headlines: brazil's president says his government doesn't have the resources to fight the record number of wildfires raging across the amazon rainforest. france's president macron tells his british counterpart there can be no major changes to the brexit agreement. boris johnson remains optimistic. where there is a will, there is a way. let's work. i'm rico hizon, in london. also in the programme: the buses bangladesh hoped would repatriate hundreds of rohingya refugees, but nobody would get on board.
