and the prime minister after one of sajid javid's closest aides the times has the same top story — 11 over the sacking ofjavid's media the mirror has the news that from next year same sex couples will be allowed to strut their stuff on strictly come dancing. daily mail says borisjohnson has had a boost in the polls parliament. the daily telegraph reports the eu might be ready to grant another extension of the brexit deadline to avoid no deal. the star has the story of an islamic state fighter who they say was paid £10,000 in housing benefit in the uk. at remainer rebels — he accuses them of playing into the hands of the eu. and as well as the row between the pm and his chancellor, tomorrow's guardian reports of alarm among eu citizens in the uk hoping to gain settled status before brexit.

let us start with the telegraph. scrapping deadline for brexit. we would ask for that, wouldn't we? this is the brexiteers stating that the eu are panicking and gordon brown says, emmanuel macron is what to withdraw the deadline. they are now saying that he is willing and the eu is willing to extend article 50 again. to avoid a new deal brexit because, and this is the narrative from the telegraph, which their readers are big brexiteers, boris johnson has been so tough and brexit, the fear there will be no deal and we now mean it where is theresa may and her government did not mean it. so this is a sign that they are weakening. that is the stories certainly. and it emerges

from number ten instantly, that's a bit more puff. the european union does not want a new deal because it would cause it economic pain and we would cause it economic pain and we would suffer more economic pain in that we seem to be pretty gung ho about it. they'll make it as a bump in the road. that is put that one site, they will have a smaller bump in the road and this was to be more friend of than us? it isjust one of those weird intellectual contradictions of which brexit is so famous. however, they do not want no deal. but their priority is to protect the rules —based system of the eu. their biggest fear is the idea that if they break all of the rules for the sake of this one country leaving, the negatives of other countries the incentive to leave a day means that the rules —based leave a day means that the rules — based system leave a day means that the rules —based system which is under threat from a whole kind of structural change to the kind of big strong men leaders elected across the world,

the eu to capitulate to a new strongman leader who goes from probing his parliament, threatens the very concept of the european union. but because they do not want no deal, but comes to no price to them is an extension, someone has chatted to gordon brown and suggested that, but it is not going to happen because we have to ask for an extension and the prime minister is to gung ho about it. we have been told by many that if we do not come out on the 31st, they will all leave and go to the brexit party. i do not see how that will happen for boris as prime minister after that. they already said that they will go in that tory party will collapse boris johnson says it will happen. boris johnson says it will happen. boris johnson is going to ask for an extension but we do know of the other possibilities of remaining on the table, it is possible that we might have a vote of no confidence

and a government of national unity. it is possible that someone might ask for an extension. at this idea that the eu might abolish the deadline unilaterally, they cannot do that. the telegraph story is basically puff. there is some weakening in the eu, they do want to compromise. would be nice if we came forward they workable attempt. compromise. would be nice if we came forward they workable attempti compromise. would be nice if we came forward they workable attempt. i do think he does want a deal. and i do think he does want a deal. and i do think he does want a deal. and i do think he believes that by talking tough, he can push it that way. but as we see, from the daily express. brexit rep was playing into eu hands. this by trying to stop no deal, in order to get no deal, can you explain how that works?m they're serious about no deal, that is why the rhetoric has been ramped up is why the rhetoric has been ramped up so much as to why we have to get ready for no deal and it will come together as a unified country and get through the bump in the road if

it does happen and that is why we have had that because he does think there is some weakening in europe and at the g7, he did get a slight impression that there was a little bit of a wobble in it. and they were willing to compromise. and i do think he wants to get a deal, but i do think he has to say all the time, keep up this message and i think dominic cummings, the prime minister, he is keeping them strong as well. they have to have this message, otherwise we will then have an extension and he will not be prime minister any more.” an extension and he will not be prime minister any more. i read the interventions a bit differently, i think. they do not want to be the intransigent ones if there is a no—deal brexit. it is all their fault that they think this wraps up the political tension and they seem to want to play nice. if we came forward with a workable plan for a different way to manage the fact that goods on northern ireland would be legal that were not legal on the

other side of the border and that you manage that fact without any kind of border infrastructure. if we can come up kind of border infrastructure. if we can come up with a technical way to manage this problem, they will be the first ones to be delighted. if borisjohnson was not reliant on the first ones to be delighted. if boris johnson was not reliant on the dep, he would be able to say that we can affect customs border in the irish sea, but we know he is reliant on the dep to get the majority of one it seems to me all of this really is heading towards the general election. the first paragraph is boris johnson general election. the first paragraph is borisjohnson accused mps of sabotaging his brexit plan. but a lot of them, they are trying to stop in no deal where is in fact a lot of them are trying to stop brexit altogether. that is what we have seen. what i do like is the rebuff. that is a good phrase. i am going to a curt rebuff. there they certainly long—winded.

going to a curt rebuff. there they certainly long-winded. connected to this potentially, i do not know, connected by dominic cummings. sajid javid valves withjohnson after second aid is sacked. explain this if you would. there's been a lot of talk about the military tacticians by him apparently dominic cummings leadership has been informed. soon sue, this thing called, there is this article and clearly this is an idea that if you act like a complete psychopath, your opponents can predict what you will do and therefore they are frightened of you in therefore you get your way and they will make mistakes. it is the same doctrine that... that is the idea. it is because we usually show destruction in terms of nuclear weapons. if everybody is absolutely terrified that their opponent might

just make the entire world uninhabitable for generations, they might hold back. and he is absolutely dealing with not just the eu in this way, but also with his colleagues in number ten and around. does not want to make friends though, does the? they are appointed by the conservative party not but a nod and a week for the prime minister by people like dominic cummings taking control, sing all special advisers are to be appointed by him and this woman who was appointed by the chancellors aid. he is coming up the spending review. his press adviser has been sacked without telling him. technically, the prime minister of civil service makes the appointments, he is the person that... but it is all coming from the number ten. that is an

extraordinary level of power. but as we heard from the start, you will achieve brexit by any means necessary and he has got entire control. everyone is saying how scary and tough he is, but he carries a totebag, he didn't cannot be that tough. he can be extremely charming to some people. i guess the question is, can this strongman tactic actually work? ill scare a few others. theresa may appointed nick timothy who also used strong—arm tactics and all sorts of briefing against nikki morgan about handbags and they fell. as soon as there is an opportunity to get rid of them, the fact that they had made enemies as faras of them, the fact that they had made enemies as far as the eye could see within the conservative party cost notjust them within the conservative party cost not just them but theresa may. within the conservative party cost notjust them but theresa may. i

wonder how long everybody your enemy strategy can survive. about 60 days, i think. the eye. billions of schools as they ramp up spending promising a0 billion quid over the next three or four years. this is also the man who said £250 million would be for us a week, so may people believe this? it has been fairly warmly welcomed by the union, again, 60 days he might not be there. so he can promise i'll you like. the a0 billion sounds good. it is going to be £5,000 for each secondary school kid and it works out every primary school kid with this on top. ijust realised that i forgotten that gavin williamson was the education secretary. it has been

on the front foot and there's only one team on the pitch of the front line. we don't even know who the opposition is any more and if there is an election in between some of the chaos and special advisers and things like that of her brexit, they are getting out their policies and sing what they're going to do and yes, they are the government, but i do not know who the opposition are any more. it's a lot of money but the communities are saying that it is welcome, they will roll up lots of different funding and one and this is billion over three years it gets us back to where they were funded at in 2010. and that is welcomed. it does include some pay raises for teachers although there isa raises for teachers although there is a fee among the teaching profession that some of them with the new starter teachers may be paid

for by getting this some older more experienced teachers which can have an impact. but this is good news, the question is if the prime ministercan the question is if the prime minister can write a check, how can he go to an election criticising the labour party which they usually do for wanting to spend money? they spent a long time building up that credential of being able to attack the labour party as wasteful spending. why not when you could be out in two months? they're going to be borrowing this money, let's be clear. children being poisoned as uk recycling burns we are trying to increase the amount that we recycle but does not appear to be recycled in some instances. huge quantities. and if you speak local councils who know the decisions, really worried about this. there just are not the recycling facilities in this country to go anywhere near the amount of waste that we produce. once he gets

exported but increasingly the places with really high quality, are rejecting our waste because we have too much non— recyclable rejecting our waste because we have too much non—recyclable material in it because we do not wash out all the parts remix of the different plastics together and all sorts of contaminants of the are going to places where our waste poisons kids in this area. it is a sad state of affairs. recycling bags from colchester, things may vectored here, we deal with their own ways but we do not exported. yes, but who pays for it? if processing waste into the new waste, the uk would you believe is the foremost. you drive us believe is the foremost. you drive us mad with recycling and then you read that story and you're like, why do we bother? i think saying it all

has to stay on shore probably isn't right because sometimes specialisation means a particular kind of product can be best recycled in france, summing we have that in in indonesia or elsewhere, and then we discussed from there. let us finish of the daily mirror. changing rules to reflect a modern britain —— model. enjoys want to dance the man? yes, why not. because it has been donein yes, why not. because it has been done in israel and dancing with the stars in austria, their voice used to drag actor. but i want to see a really downbeat track act. i want to see a really grumpy track act. on

hello there. over the next few days, the winds will fluctuate between northwesterly and south—westerly. that will affect the temperatures, but otherwise keep this very unsettled theme going. this pattern earlier today, south—westerly winds bringing in a lot of cloud that focuses the rain, it's been quite steady and heavy across parts of scotland, especially across the hills. also seeing some rain for northern ireland, england and wales — a lot of high cloud, the sunshine has been hazy with the best of the clearances overnight tonight in the southeast of england, where we saw the highest temperatures earlier. but the rain is still there for northern ireland, developing more widely in scotland. later tonight, it crosses over the irish sea. for most of england and wales, it will be dry, but fairly cloudy and breezy, as well, with temperatures at i2—ia celsius. that weather front is still around with an area of low pressure in scotland on saturday. eventually that cold front takes rain into england and wales. very quickly it clears away from the northern ireland. not before we've had a lot

of rain through friday and overnight into saturday, there could be a couple of inches over the hills, may be more than that over the higher ground across southern and central parts of scotland — could be 3—a inches of rain here, which lingers later in scotland, clearing the way to sunshine and showers across northern ireland. we get some sunshine filtering into england and wales behind that band of rain, it becoming lighter as it heads towards southeast in the afternoon. here we have the last of the remaining warmth, temperatures into the mid—20s. elsewhere it turns cooler and fresher. 0ur wind direction is changing, so we are moving from a south—westerly to a northwesterly, and ouraircomes all the way from iceland. so this is cooler, fresher air feeling like autumn for the ist of september, and those northwesterly winds will blow in a lot of showers to the northern half of the uk, some of them heavy and thundering. not too many showers across south wales in southern england, where temperatures make it

up to 20 celsius. but for the most part with those downpours, we are sitting between 15—15 celsius. a chilly start to monday, the showers will have gone by this point. instead of the northwesterly, we move back into a south—westerly, meaning more cloud coming in from the atlantic, and some rain from northern ireland and scotland, particularly in western scotland. if anything, those temperatures may be 1—2 degrees higher on monday.
