opens the deer opens the door to polar it opens the door to polar maritime airso this is it opens the door to polar maritime air so this is cooler air, fresh area and it will bring some sunshine and showers. and really drop the temperatures we will start to see that on saturday, more widely on sunday. a lot of showers for the northern half of the uk and further south there will be a few showers and temperatures may reach 20 degrees in london but only 15 for edinburgh and belfast. it really will feel quite chilly and overnight as the showers fade away these are the minimum temperatures on sunday night. in mind, recent lights have been no lower than 18 degrees. some places could be four or five in towns and cities. still on the cool side of that area of high pressure so we side of that area of high pressure so we have the cooler air to start with on monday but this time there are fewer showers. most places will be dry was sunshine and around the top of the high pressure we start to enter this atlantic air again that will bring in more cloud to scotland, northern ireland and maybe a few spots of rain. those temperatures struggling16—

a few spots of rain. those temperatures struggling 16— 21 degrees. before we look further ahead we need to look at what is happening on the other side of the atlantic. this storm near puerto rico is the heading towards here. and then there is divergences to some people think it will head to florida and others it will track into the atlantic. that increases the uncertainty in our outlook, particularly in regard to high—pressure. it looks like the high—pressure. it looks like the high pressure should be building towards the uk, possibly delayed and it may not of the uk and as it looks at the moment, the northern areas still see strong window may be showers but elsewhere later next week it could turn dry and also a bit warmer.

11:33 pm
of parliament, just days after mps return to work in september, which could deny mp's the time to try to stop a no—deal brexit. the prime minister insists that proruoging parliament would not prevent mps playing their role in the brexit process. we are bringing forward a new legislative programme on crime, on hospitals, and making sure that we have the education funding that we need and there will be ample time on both sides of that crucial october the 17 summit. ample time, in parliament, for mps to debate. more than 1,000 people took to the streets in westminster to protest at the plans, as oppostion parties expressed their fury. suspending parliament is not acceptable. it is not on. what the prime minister is doing is a sort of smash and grab
11:34 pm
on our democracy in order to force through a no—deal exit from the european union. the leader of the scottish conservatives, ruth davidson — a vocal critic of borisjohnson‘s — is now expected to quit tomorrow. and in other news: league one football team, bolton wanderers, have announced they've been saved, with their administrators securing the club's sale to football ventures limited. and teenage environmental activist, greta thunberg, has arrived in new york after a 15—day, 3,000 mile voyage across the atlantic. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are political editor of the sun on sunday, dave wooding, and former fleet street editor, eve pollard. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. 0ne story on all the papers: borisjohnson securing the queen's approval to suspend parliament.
11:35 pm
commons leader, jacob rees mogg, tells the telegraph, parliament's duty is to deliver on the result of the brexit referendum, and mps trying to thwart brexit are risking a constitutional crisis/ a constitutional crisis. 0n the daily mail: boris takes his gloves 0ff — by suspending parliament for nearly five weeks. johnson goes for broke — is the headline in tomorrow's times. the paper reports that downing street has drawn up a battle plan to frustrate rebels and opposition parties. 0n the front of the financial times — boris johnson sparked uproar over plans to shut down parliament for five weeks to protect his brexit plan. it's a prorogue state — reads the headline on the front of the metro, as the queen agrees to the pm's request to suspend parliament. the guardian reports on the outrage of rebel mps as they gear up for an historic clash next week following the prime minister's announcement to suspend parliament in the run—up to brexit. and ballsy boris comes out fighting is across tomorrow's sun newspaper with the headline — hey big suspender.
11:36 pm
that hey big suspender. is my favourite, i think. you saying that is my favourite, i think. you saying you like the times front page? you have a serious looking boris, shot from above, unusual shot. in the corner the heading on the proroguing. it shows that where her majesty is, there is the court, at bell moral and i never realised that. an event are very, very sort of usual outrage discussion about what has happened... if you look at the three key points of the times have highlighted. parliament suspended, david sent to quit as scottish tory leader, we are in hugely dramatic times. —— davidson.
11:37 pm
we are gearing up for a big fight next week and number 10 have been very canny, some have said. people do say this is clever. the times have not lost a sense humour. writing of onjohn boko, he is on holiday at the moment and if you had been having your sandcastle anywhere near him when told the news, you probably would not have the sa ndcastle probably would not have the sandcastle at the. —— john bercow. the speaker is supposed to be impartial and he has come out and said from his holiday that it is a constitutional outrage. the line i like best in the piece, not only the sandcastle bit but he might have
11:38 pm
stamped up and down in a tantrum. everybody's outraged. outrage is the word of the day. he is about to stand up for the rights of parliament. he is merely saying, as many people have said, that making this recess last five weeks and denying mps the right to give their views which is what the leavers want to happen, is unfair and wrong. boris, as it says in the headline, johnson goes for broke. he has thrown down the gauntlet and sending a message he is serious on leaving oi'i a message he is serious on leaving on october 31... if you get all the dates because there are been so many. there is a sent that boris johnson is going for it and really wants to deliver brexit. and worried
11:39 pm
about that rather than how long he last. is this boris johnson. .. dominicjohnson... sorry, last. is this boris johnson. .. dominicjohnson. .. sorry, boris johnson. after david cameron resigning, he would take over and i think he thinks i am going to give the best shot i can. he's that sort of personality. let's not forget he has given the same message that theresa may has given, no deal is better than a bad deal. he also indicated that he would not prorogue parliament. yes, he did say that but the suggestion that they would
11:40 pm
prorogue parliament in the run up to october 31st but he has gone earlier. looking at the guardian because outrage is the order of the day. i know you picked up on a former senior head of the civil servant being very critical. a lot of talk about roping at the queen into this constitutional row. again the civil service, someone saying we are reaching the point where a civil servant must consider putting it stewardship of the country ahead of its service to the government of the day. that is very strange and the sort of thing you see in spy films. it is not the british way. it is
11:41 pm
almost inciting the civil service to defy the government and do the best thing for the country which they see as stopping brexit. if the civil service nowjoins, as stopping brexit. if the civil service now joins, that as stopping brexit. if the civil service nowjoins, that willjust be the. a lot of this all depends on where you are and how you voted. not everybody has this view. lots of people voted away or the other and accepted the result and want us to get on with it but a significant numberof get on with it but a significant number of people on both sides completely entrenched. those who voted brexit who want to get out at all cost and those who voted remain who want to remain. if you talk to people, you just feel, in london, there is a feeling this is the way
11:42 pm
we wa nt there is a feeling this is the way we want it and they were shocked, as we want it and they were shocked, as we all work, that the voted out to be leave. no dealwas we all work, that the voted out to be leave. no deal was never on any kind of ballot and not the message spread for those campaigning for brexit. what is curious is i presume the cameron government looked at how other countries had voted and did not put in any of the safeguards that perhaps that i do not know enough about it that they would have abated. if europe does not like your answer. . . abated. if europe does not like your answer... some of the brexiteers would argue that no deal was not on the paper but what they say is what some of these mps are trying to do is using no—deal brexit as a proxy for no brexit and they are trying to
11:43 pm
frustrate the referendum result. but there were many things not on the referendum. no—one talked about a backstop. do not start going into the backstop! the daily telegraph, they are giving obviously the line from number 10 and also quoting jacob rees mogg hitting back, at those who say borisjohnson is being undemocratic, saying parliament has to enact the wheel of people. that is the democratic view, a democratic view... is the democratic view, a democratic view. . . are is the democratic view, a democratic view... are you surprised to see him at bell moral? how would the queen have received him in the middle of her holiday? whatever you think about him, he is always wordperfect and always polite. it irritates you.
11:44 pm
he irritated me, but he is a clever man. the last time he wrote for the summer man. the last time he wrote for the summer! man. the last time he wrote for the summer i had to say to him, got a little bit easy on the latin. —— the sun. to those on the other end of the government, ruth davidson possibly stepping down, amber rudd said by friends to be disappointed by the prime minister's decision to suspend, the longest suspension sent 1945. suspend, the longest suspension sent 19115. how people like matt hancock, who have been very keen, how are they going to square it? they are a little bit concerned about this but, at this stage, i think it will put some pressure 011 at this stage, i think it will put some pressure on the eu if it shows there is no way that mps can stop
11:45 pm
brexit. does anyone believe a real negotiation is going on?” brexit. does anyone believe a real negotiation is going on? i think there is something going on because of the eu, in the end, germany needs us of the eu, in the end, germany needs us and to appoint france needs us and other countries need us. who can tell but the photographs of them with boris johnson tell but the photographs of them with borisjohnson seemed to be rather more friendly than the ones with theresa may and maybe they would like to settle this in a civilised way. it's going to be yea rs, yea rs of civilised way. it's going to be years, years of discussion, to discuss the nitty—gritty of this deal and i think in a way, that is a point that boris has. i felt all the time that theresa may was trying to get a deal, there was so much yakking from the other side. if you we re yakking from the other side. if you were michel barnier or donald tusk,
11:46 pm
they thought we could get them to do anything they want. you are in a battle, in a negotiation, do not normally have your team at odds with you. you go in and get the best need you. you go in and get the best need you can. and he is negotiating in a harder stand that theresa may and if they believe he means is this, then they believe he means is this, then they may bend and if they bend they will then have to decide do we back this deal or not? moving onto the daily mail, the same story, boris takes the gloves off. as you said it is a dramatic move. pictures of a determined leader. a man... we will always remember this day. whatever the result it is a major thing to do. but a man who has not been put to the public test. they did not vote for borisjohnson
11:47 pm
and he does not have a parliamentary majority. these things have been thrown out about how this is not democratic to provoke parliament but he would argue it is not democratic to try and stop the results of the referendum. but also ruth davidson, it shows a key conservative who reaches parts of the tory base that others cannot... and someone who you thought would have gotten along with borisjohnson in thought would have gotten along with boris johnson in many thought would have gotten along with borisjohnson in many ways. but if we are in election territory and you lose some of those scottish tory seats as a result, what does that mean? it is a headache for boris johnson because he needs to win seats. they need to make headway. they cannot afford to lose. he also has the brexit party chomping at his heels and if they field candidates
11:48 pm
that will cause some problems as well. a quick look now at the mirrors. pro rogue. branded a tinpot dictatorfor mirrors. pro rogue. branded a tinpot dictator for suspending parliament and outrage after dragging the queen into the chaos. you fill outrage that the queen has been dragged in? i don't think so because i think it has been explained very clearly that this is the way that the queen works with our government. this is the way that the queen works with our governmentlj this is the way that the queen works with our government. i haven't met anyone outraged about anything.|j anyone outraged about anything.” have just come back from california. they have outraged themselves enough. there is outrage about every aspect of this. he is being a tinpot dictator... the language used is hysterical. it is. and i think it is because this is all we have. a few
11:49 pm
days. in real terms, because this is all we have. a few days. in realterms, people 's lives will be affected by a no deal brexit. whether you think that is a price worth paying, that is one argument. but we have seen leagues of food shortages, medicine shortages... so if it is yourjob thatis shortages... so if it is yourjob that is more than a bump in the road. that is why, presumably... but he has always said, the prime minister, that it is a negotiating sta nce to minister, that it is a negotiating stance to say we are leaving on this date. part of the reason theresa may was an able to leave was that nobody believed she was serious about leaving. and at least he is showing, he is trying to do this. don't know where it will lead but at least he is showing. and whether the opposite side, as it were, the more they see... the stronger the negotiating position is. he has people
11:50 pm
undermining him by saying no, no, we cannot do this. he says that he wants to show what he is about. he wants to show what he is about. he wants to show what he wants to do about education and other things. all things that were completely left for the last three years because they were so obsessed with this. lets draw a line under brexit for the moment and finish tonight with a story that has been very distressing to read about. and that is the jeffrey epstein story that has unfolded. but this is a slightly odd ta ke unfolded. but this is a slightly odd take from both the telegraph and the son talking about prince andrew, the duke of york, a photograph and disputing whether the photograph is real or not. this picture has been around for a while. we have seen this picture, it is asking if it is is his hands. on what basis is this
11:51 pm
being disputed? his people seem to being disputed? his people seem to be suggesting that these hands could not be prince andrew ‘s hands. in other words that this picture may have been doctored. they do look a lot more tanned than his face. according to the telegraph, the princes are far more chubby. and the duke has always denied. an interesting twist to this story whichjust will interesting twist to this story which just will not go away. this woman has arrived in new york to go to court so they are trying to keep it going. how damaging is this? obviously any involvement with the actual substance of the stories calling for anyone involved, the duke of york is completely denying any of these allegations against him. how damaging is it in broader
11:52 pm
terms to the royal family? what you say about the queen is brilliant. she has never been involved with anybody who was a bit dodgy. and obviously geoffrey ab steyn was. so it is very damaging also that he cannot get rid of the story. this story will lurk around. . —— obviously jeffrey story will lurk around. . —— obviouslyjeffrey epstein was. story will lurk around. . —— obviously jeffrey epstein was. there are more questions than answers. obviously jeffrey epstein was. there are more questions than answersm is very difficult for prince andrew. we will bring you much more on all these in the days to come. thank you for going through all the brexit material in particular. let's see how long we can stay outraged. maybe you will be next time. i shall stamp my feet on the way out. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website.
11:53 pm
it's all there for you — 7 days a week. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. goodbye. good evening. here's your latest sports news. it went down to the wire but bolton wanderers have been saved by a new buyer. they were 1a days away from liquidation and possible expulsion from the english football league but the company football ventures limited finally confirmed a deal to purchase the club, much to the relief of staff, players and fans. bolton fan and podcast host willjones told me earlier her feared the worst. earlier he feared the worst. it is such a relief. an amazing
11:54 pm
feeling. it is a real shame what happened to bury in the last 2a hours so we hope for the best for them. we hope they can be brought backin them. we hope they can be brought back in some way. that it is an amazing feeling for us and we hope we can rebuild. obviously it was a last—minute saving for the club. what do you know about the new owners? football ventures have been interested in taking on the club since the start of the administration period. it seems they have been loyal and trying to get their deal over the line. they seem reliable so we hope we can make that count and they will be able to bring the glory days of bolton back to us. no such news for bury — fans have been coming to terms with the fact that, after 125 years, the club will have to leave the english football league after a deal to buy bury fell through. there had been optimism with tickets being printed for saturday's game, fans cleaning the stadium in preparation, all ahead of a potential takeover from c&n sporting risk, which would have secured the club's future.

but the sporting analytics company pulled out at the eleventh hour due to insurmountable challenges. everton got a scare after going a goal down in the first minute to league one lincoln city in the second round of the league cup. the premier league giants came back to win 11—2 at sincil bank. nick parrot was watching. when it comes to upsets, danny is your man. he has guided lincoln to victory over teams from higher divisions on nine occasions his game plan probably did not involve taking the lead after 20 seconds. everton caught cold. they scored too early, and from there are backs to the wall. the resistance lasted until ten minutes before halftime with the first gale —— golfer everton. not many would have given lincoln hope when they conceded a penalty. the knights captain surely sealing
11:56 pm
victory. but there was more to come. bruno ‘s strike restore the ligue1 ‘s hopes of an upset. unfortunately for lincoln they were not as impressive in defence giving alex enough space to put the blues in front. everton only scored once in three games this season so on fourth would have been a welcome boost to their confidence. he could not add to his list of scalps but for the visitors it was a close shave. here are the rest of this evening's results — the all premier league game between newcastle and leicester — was won by leicester on penalties. sheffield wednesday beat local rivals rotherham1—0 with the last kick of the game. league two — forest green took bournemouth to penalties but the premier league side scrapped through. elsewhere, there were wins for portsmouth, swansea and sunderland. for the second time in as many days roger federer had to come from a set down to beat his opponent in the us open. the 20—time grand slam winner lost the first set 3—6

this is newsday on the bbc. i'm rico hizon, in london. the headlines: protests as the uk government announces that parliament will be suspended for more than four weeks in the run—up to brexit. critics say it's a constitutional outrage. what the prime minister is doing is a sort of smash and grab on our democracy in order to force through a no—deal exit from the european union. he is acting like some kind of tinpot dictator the move's being challenged in the courts, but the prime minister maintains mps will still get the chance to have their say on brexit.
