11:30 pm
she is not comfortable in them, her, she is not comfortable in them, and the remarks that she said about her own body, as a parent having to listen to that is really upsetting. despite dozens of children being sent home today, students and pa rents sent home today, students and parents so they will stage another protest next week, putting pressure on the school to change its uniform policy. in a few minutes time, join us for the second edition of the papers. but first here is the weather. it looks like we will add a little bit of tropical air into the mix around the middle part of next week. but before then this weekend is going to feel quite chilly, but at least the weather is settling down. we have this area of high pressure building up from the south—west, thatis building up from the south—west, that is chasing away all the showers and longer spells of rain we have had on friday. there may be a few showers left over on saturday but only across northern parts of the uk, they will soon fade away, lots of sunshine, sunny spells further south, if you catch one of these you
11:31 pm
are very lucky, if you catch two you are very lucky, if you catch two you are very lucky, if you catch two you are very unlucky. breezes for the most pa rt are very unlucky. breezes for the most part are light but some stronger down the east coast of england and scotland, and here i think it will feel quite chilly on saturday the best of the temperatures towards wales in the south—west of england. we are drawing in some cooler airfor south—west of england. we are drawing in some cooler air for the start of the weekend, that will be around on saturday night, and with the winds dropping light and skies clearing it will be cold, the cold est clearing it will be cold, the coldest night for a while, could see a touch of rust across north—eastern scotland, north—east england as well. for the most part we start dry, cold but sunny on sunday, the odd bit of cloud around, but not expecting any showers to speak of. the northern ireland in western scotla nd the northern ireland in western scotland it is probably going to be either cloudy day, and head of that temperatures are looking at 16— 18 degrees. more clout on the north—west, a band of rainjust waiting on the wings, that weather front there, and that will slide down across the uk as it does so it will develop some ripples or waves
11:32 pm
on it, even an area of low pressure which will slow the progress of that rain down and focus some of the heavy rain towards wales in the south—west especially in the afternoon. behind that we are likely to find things brightening up a touch of scotland and northern ireland, look at those temperatures -14, 15, 16 ireland, look at those temperatures —1a, 15, 16 degrees, for many this will come as a bit of a shock to the system. the weather front weekends, the area of low pressure trips down to rod's biscay and on tuesday it will be a much drier day, a few showers if any left over, some decent spells of sunshine and wins like the most part, tending to pick up like the most part, tending to pick up on the north—west, with cloud and rain approaching towards the end of the day. i had about the temperature should be higher on tuesday. but band of wet and windy weather that is approaching in the north—west is wrapped around the area of low pressure, that contains remnants of hurricane dorian. no longer a
11:33 pm
hurricane dorian. no longer a hurricane at this stage but it will bring some wet and windy weather down across the uk with the strongest winds across the northern half of the uk, gale force quite likely. we will see some sunshine behind that band and that wet weather contains some tropical air putting down into england and wales. possibly temperatures as high as 20 or 21 across eastern parts of england. once that clears away what is left of dorian, we have the next tropical system, this area of low pressure, a bit deeper now and the forecast, contains remnants of tropical storm gabrielle. this could bring some gales, even severe gales if that forecast is right on thursday, across northern parts of scotland. further south we have tropical hour, so damages could be into the low 20s, but there is cooler, windy weather around during friday, start of the weekend, we start to see high pressure building in over the next weekend, that means it will be dry with some spells of sunshine, if a little chilly by day and by night.
11:34 pm
hello, this is bbc news. we will be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first the headlines: opposition leaders in parliament agree to stop borisjohnson having a snap election until brexit is delayed beyond the end of october. we are not going to help boris johnson shut down parliament and try and drive us out of the european union over an election period. that's not going to happen. they don't trust the people, they don't wa nt don't trust the people, they don't want an election? 0k, perhaps it is that they don't think they will win. fine. i'll go to brussels. i'll get a deal. peers have approved legislation aimed at blocking a possible no—deal brexit. robert mugabe, the man who delivered independence for zimbabwe, but went on to become its dictator, has died at the age of 95. in the wake of hurricane dorian,
11:35 pm
officials in the bahamas say the situation there is dire, and warn the death toll may rise dramatically. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the evening standard's martin bentham and bonnie greer from the new european. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the times features an image of the prime minister attempting to steer a bull, alongside the line that he is under pressure from cabinet ministers to abandon his brexit strategy and come up with a plan b. the guardian has gone with the same image and says borisjohnson is short of options as the so—called rebel alliance vows to break him.
11:36 pm
the telegraph reports that the prime minister has indicated he would rather defy the law than ask for a further brexit delay. the financial times weekend leads with the shadow chanchellor‘s pledge to end the culture of huge bonuses in the financial services sector. prince william speaks about his fury over what he calls outrageous incidents of racism in football, fuelled by social media. that is on the front of the daily express. and an investigation by the daily mirror finds that endangered species of sharks are being served up to customers at fish and chip shops. that is actually going to be one of our papers, but let's start off with borisjohnson. the our papers, but let's start off with boris johnson. the front our papers, but let's start off with borisjohnson. the front of our papers, but let's start off with boris johnson. the front of the times. according to the times it was under pressure from his cabinet ministers last night that he
11:37 pm
abandoned his strategy and come up with another plan. i guess because they want to stay in government, basically. and he says no, he is not going to do that, and as he said before, he is going to die in a ditch before he goes back to brussels. that is the situation we are in. frankly, ijust want to say, ifind it are in. frankly, ijust want to say, i find it actually quite appalling that people actually want to be against their elected parliament, directly elected parliament, and actually get behind a government that they had nothing whatsoever to do with. i mean, this is a parliamentary democracy, and the fa ct parliamentary democracy, and the fact that this man is actually saying he is going to defy parliament as i think much more dangerous than anything else that is going on here right now. what could he possibly have as a plan b? do the papers lay anything out? know, exactly, and there lies the problem, that of course it appears his
11:38 pm
current strategy of insisting that no deal must remain an option in terms of giving the eu some concessions which could give a form of deal, close to what theresa may had but with some refinements which seem had but with some refinements which seem to be greater refinements than we re seem to be greater refinements than were initially thought. getting that accepted were initially thought. getting that a cce pted by were initially thought. getting that accepted by a majority in parliament, that great conundrum that, yes, there is no obvious way yet to achieve that. so clearly what now seems like it needs to happen is to have this election. but of course, we're not going to get it in the foreseeable future. it is not going to happen on the date that boris wanted it to happen. because clearly you have got the erg on the tory side, some of whom didn't back the deal. the labour party, who voted for the referendum, voted for
11:39 pm
article 50 to be triggered, most of theirmps, article 50 to be triggered, most of their mps, not all of them, and certainly committed themselves in a ma nifesto to certainly committed themselves in a manifesto to deliver brexit, still vowing to vote for any plan. while thatis vowing to vote for any plan. while that is the situation, exactly what is going to get through, it seems impossible. we're just going to turn to the telegraph, this is something you brought up. the parliamentary mechanisms, carry on, bonnie.|j you brought up. the parliamentary mechanisms, carry on, bonnie. iwas just going to say, why should the opposition give the government and election when the government wants it? they should have the election when they want to have it. that is what it is basically about. boris wants to have the election, i don't blame him. he says he is out of here by 31 october. if he is not out of here by 31 october, he is in trouble. why should the opposition give him that? this isjust plain retail politics. the argument would
11:40 pm
be that it is in the national interest to resolve this as quickly as possible. why should it happen to help him? to help the country. he wants to have it before the date of 31 october. if they had it on one november, they could still have the election. they don't want to do it oi'i election. they don't want to do it on the date that he wants to do it, for obvious reasons. well, we don't know, it may or may not be. the argument seems to be that they are worried that if he won the election he would go back to the strategy they don't like. but if he won an election on that mandate... well, all of that may not even happen, because according to the front of the daily telegraph, he could end up in court. well, this is going to please a chunk of your viewers, and it is slightly unclear. he says he will defy the law and he rules out resigning, which is one scenario that other papers have raised as a way that he can avoid doing what he
11:41 pm
said he wouldn't do, which is go and apply for an extension. there is some suggestion that there may be question as to whether, despite the legislation passed in parliament, that somehow or other that may not be... he may try to argue that is not binding on him. i can't understand how that would be. and i go back to what i said at the beginning of this conversation, that people should be nervous that a prime minister is saying i am going to defy the law. that should make people nervous. well that is the headline, isn't it? assumedly the argument would be, and we don't know because we haven't heard it from the horses mouth, and we haven't seen the detail, clearly, actually the legislation that was passed not binding. anyway, the long and short of it is this scenario was raised, he says if mrjohnson fails to carry out the will of parliament, he risks being taken to court, and this is something that people will enjoy very much. he could be held in co nte m pt very much. he could be held in contempt and even jailed
11:42 pm
very much. he could be held in contempt and evenjailed if he refused. i think that is very, very unlikely, but no doubt some people might quite like to see that. but do we want to have a prime minister who says i will defy the law? we are not a presidential democracy.|j says i will defy the law? we are not a presidential democracy. i think it is inconceivable. if the law is the law. i agree with you, but look at this headline. we should point out that iain duncan smith is quoted in this article and as part of this he is saying he is possibly looking to become a brexit amata. —— martyr. the other option is to resign, leave it tojeremy the other option is to resign, leave it to jeremy corbyn to the other option is to resign, leave it tojeremy corbyn to apply for the extension and after the election, which would come fairly soon after, that could be used in essence to strengthen the borisjohnson hand in a contest. who knows? the daily mail, another question, who knows? the great election stitch up is their headline. look at this,
11:43 pm
breaking news. 75% of voters say mps have failed. they would say that. absolutely nothing. we are surprised it is as low as that. whatever your view of it is. people do feel that parliament has failed, mainly because what is going on now is so deeply complex. this has never happened before, all these sovereign powers have been brought on the table that people didn't know existed, all these locking motions. the law has at one point had 99 amendments. it is just the law has at one point had 99 amendments. it isjust crazy, and of course people don't know what is going on, because they are not taught what is going on in school. but the real reason mps have failed in the public is that, whether rightly or wrongly, a referendum bill was passed by many mps who were still in parliament, not all of them because there has been an election since then, they gave the choice to
11:44 pm
the british people. the liberal democrats were the first people to say they were against leaving, well before david cameron put it forward to suggest it should be in a referendum, so they are on the hook. labour and the tories all voted for a referendum and yet somehow or other they have failed to get together and reach a satisfactory... because they are human beings in politics. and mr corbyn would likely but he doesn't think he can win it. other stories today, a former colony of britain, and its former new leader, robert mugabe, has passed away. we talked about this earlier. it was an interesting thing. my generation grew up in the 1960s, and we know what robert mugabe turned into and what robert mugabe has
11:45 pm
done, and the destruction, and the people of zimbabwe would agree. but if you look at what is going on, and i say but, and, when you look at the tributes that are coming in, a lot of that is coming from a kind of nostalgia, and looking at the sort of colonialism and the level and the type of colonialism that existed on that continent. and it is all clashing together right now in the person of this man who turn into a tyrant. the tragedy of mugabe, he turned into a monster. we know what he is, but i think there is a long, long story that has to do with it is colonialism in africa that is not talked about. and this goes back to people in britain perhaps not being fully aware of their history. exactly. well, yes and no, but the fa ct exactly. well, yes and no, but the fact is that that doesn't excuse what he did. i am slightly resistant to that narrative that, of course he achieved some fine things by helping
11:46 pm
to free his country. it wasn't some fine things, he liberated his country. he did a lot of other things which were not fine. and he ended upa things which were not fine. and he ended up a monster, yes, he did. and u nfortu nately, ended up a monster, yes, he did. and unfortunately, one does not have to produce the other, does it? so in fa ct, produce the other, does it? so in fact, and obviously the great example of that was nelson mandela, in south africa, who did not resort to becoming an oppressive dictator in the way that mugabe and indeed some other people did. the first timei some other people did. the first time i as an american heard of this country was what's his name who ran rhodesia who declared against this country. i am rhodesia who declared against this country. iam not rhodesia who declared against this country. i am not excusing mugabe, but as you say, lukwesa, people don't know the history. by knowing the history, you understand why there is so much history in this story, why it matters. well, of course, but... he was a monster at
11:47 pm
the end. for a long period, notjust the end. for a long period, notjust the end, but decades, in fact. he the end, but decades, in fact. he the ft weekend, john mcdonald.|j know people may think this is crazy, i see this guy on finance channels, he tells them exactly what he is going to do to them and what is going to do to them and what is going to do to them and what is going to happen, but he is so affable, he lays his plans out, and they take his interviews. he is not a very affable character,... i'm not sure that he will be getting a huge number of votes in the city for what he is suggesting here. of course, on one level he is right and people do not like seeing vast bonuses handed out to people when they can't really
11:48 pm
see what necessarily they have done to deserve it, and they don't like the idea that he is driving the wrong behaviour which i think we have seen in the city at times in the past, where the incentives, the things that get you a bonus, not just inner—city but elsewhere, are not necessarily related to the long—term interests of businesses and so on. there is one pole that people should attention to, there is rumours that the superrich are fleeing the country, so they may know something we don't. crosstalk. we do want to get to shark and chips, daily express, "william declares war on racists". this is the latest stage in the ongoing u nfortu nate the latest stage in the ongoing unfortunate problem of racism in football, particularly on social media being directed at some black players who, whenever they missed a penalty, some horrendous people... prince william is speaking out, the
11:49 pm
thing actually that would be, you are talking about his ability to affect change which obviously would be good if he could, i thought was the most powerful idea was phil neville when he was saying, maybe we should have a boycott, some of the clu bs should have a boycott, some of the clubs and should have a boycott... william has that kind of media power, he can do that, and all of that can come into play now and hope he does step up to this, because it is outrageous. let's turn finally to... what a horrible story. apparently there is some sort of endangered species of little shark that gets caught in nets, and people are passing this off, they don't know it, but they are selling this as fish and chips. when you read this headline it is a brilliant tabloid story, you envisage these cornish troll and going out and hauling out hammerhead sharks or
11:50 pm
whatever and —— trawler men. what has happened is, it is a serious issue, and the spiny dogfish is being caught as by catch, they are being caught as by catch, they are being sold as rock salmon and a p pa re ntly being sold as rock salmon and apparently are a form of shark, so, the problem with it is in particular that they are endangered and also that they are endangered and also that they are being caught as by catch as a young fish and that is stopping them... they don't read very quickly. they are being sold in certain fish and chip shops as rock sham —— rock salmon. certain fish and chip shops as rock sham -- rock salmon. you are not getting a great white being served... but look at the front page, it is not jaws. martin and bonnie, that was great fun, thank you. 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.
11:51 pm
it's all there for you, 7 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 martin bentham and bonnie greer, goodbye. hello there, here's your bbc sport headlines. gareth bale was wales' hero as his late goal helped them beat azerbaijan 2—1 in their euro 2020 qualifier in cardiff. ryan giggs' side laboured for much of the match against the bottom side in the group, but ultimately got the win they desperately needed, as patrick gearey reports. after a feverish summer gareth bale has emerged and refresh. once out of favour he is now back at the centre of things with his club, where he
11:52 pm
a lwa ys of things with his club, where he always was for his country. they say he isa always was for his country. they say he is a man who makes things happen, but rarely like this. setting up an accidental punchline, he was never really in on the joke. an own goal, but a big golfer wales who really had to win this, the struggle to put together anything more deliberate which left them vulnerable. azerbaijan had the chance for a second goal, his nation ranked 109th in the world were level. wales, semifinalist at the last euros, were up semifinalist at the last euros, were up against it to even reach the next one, chances and time passed, seven minutes remained when gareth bale climbed above the chaos. was it in? the margin was slight the significance mattered. wales remain in trouble but for now they have escaped with bale. scotland's hopes of qualifying are hanging by a thread after they lost 2—1 to russia at hampden. john mcginn got his side off to the perfect start when the russian keeperfumbled
11:53 pm
the ball into his path, but before half time, russia captain artem dzyuba found a way through a scattered scotland defence for the equaliser. and then a well worked move by the russians ended with steven o'donnell deflecting the ball into his own goal. scotland are now six points behind second placed russia. england's cricketers are in big trouble after australia took three late wickets on day 3 of the fourth ashes test, to leave england 200/5 in theirfirst innings. still 297 runs behind in a match they can't afford to lose if they want to win back the ashes. our sports correspondent andy swiss was watching at old trafford. for much of the day england five batsmen battled back well but that day has ended with australia still very much in control. after a long rain delay england fans had plenty to cheer at first, a century stand between rory burns and joe root, but eventually burns went to 81, caught
11:54 pm
at slip, and then the wickets started to tumble. joe root soon followed lbw 471, that brought ben stokes to the wicket, a huge ovation from the england fans, he was the hero of the last test at headingley. but he soon lost his batting partner jason roy, clean bold byjosh hazlewood, just before the close. england five wickets down, but still with a huge amount of work to do. while stokes is still there the fans believe anything is possible, but they know they face a real battle to save this match and save their ashes hopes. we needed a couple of wickets at the end there, but i think it set out pretty clear for us in terms of, there is a follow—on to get past and then we have to get as close as we can. we are only a couple of partnerships away from that, and personally we have the right to be sitting here with three figures, but i thought how we played, i was
11:55 pm
pretty ha p py i thought how we played, i was pretty happy with it. england have thrashed italy 37—0 at stjames' park in their last warm—up game before the rugby world cup injapan. after a tryless first half, england took 3 minutes to score after the restart, as ben youngs crossed the line. three more tries followed, anthony watson with the last of them. the perfect send—off with the squad flying out to the world cup on sunday. scotland ultimately pulled away from a stubborn georgia in their final warmup match. ali price was among the try scorers in a close first half. scotland showed their dominance after the break though, with tries from darcy graham helping to complete a 36—9 win at murrayfield. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on the bbc sport website, including the latest from the men's semifinals at the us open. that's all from me for now. good evening, it has been a cool and blustery day for us today, but it looks like the weather is settling
11:56 pm
down much more in time for the weekend. a lot of the rain we have seen today, most of it on that weather front and in that thick cloud is putting down into the near continent, even the showers coming in behind that are turning viewer. still some continuing through this evening in particular, any fading away overnight and most places becoming dry. the wind direction is changing to more of a north or north—westerly and it will be cooler overnight, those of the temperatures in towns and cities. we are drawing down cooler air in that northerly airflow, you can see down across the uk, ahead of this area of high pressure, that is building up more from the south—west, hence the weather settling down, it will keep those weather fronts are a until well on into the weekend. after some showers earlier on today for their ashes, it looks like it should be a dry day actually tomorrow, not particularly warm, that northerly breeze, not especially strong but it will make it feel on the chilly side. after one or two early showers for the northern half of the uk becomes dry and sunny, a few showers
11:57 pm
further south but not very many in a lot of places will be dry and some sunny spells. a northerly breeze, most of it it will be quite light but it will be a stronger breeze down the eastern side of both england and scotland, it will feel quite chilly towards the coast. the best of the temperature is will be further west especially for south wales and the south—west of england. with the winds easing overnight, saturday night and skies clearing, it will be cold enough maybe for a touch of frost in north—eastern part of scotland, even in north—east england is where we had to for the great north run on sunday for people waiting to run, it will be cold out there, but decent running sort of weather really, the winds will be light with lots of sunshine, slowing up light with lots of sunshine, slowing upa bit light with lots of sunshine, slowing up a bit during the day, cloud bubbling up here and there but not really expecting any showers to speak of, northern ireland and western scotland could be quite cloudy through most of the day on sunday ahead of that, those damages again 16—18 typically. the band of rain waiting in the wings, that
11:58 pm
arrive sunday night and into monday, it sweeps down across the uk, some heavy bursts of rain particularly towards wales in the south—west of england. as we head into mundy, these temperatures we are looking at, are really quite chilly day for the southern half of the uk, it looks better though on tuesday.
