diamond in pressure. there is a diamond in the city that needs to come out. thank you everybody. that was enjoyable, invigorating and really helped us cover your great city. the positives as well as some of the challenges. now, the weather. one thing is for sure. the weather next week will look very different from the weather of the week just look very different from the weather of the weekjust gone. make the most of the weekjust gone. make the most of the weekjust gone. make the most of the sunshine while you have it this weekend. high pressure that has brought the sunshine is drifting further east across europe. we have a weather front waiting to change the weather in from the atlantic. from the time being, we are drawing in warmth on a brief south—easterly wind. there is a sunshine on the way. first signs of change in the far south—west of wales and later on as the cloud builds and we get one or two showers but elsewhere it is dry. judith moritz, bbc news, manchester.
11:31 pm
quitejust quite just early across western parts of the uk. temperature is 2a— 25 degrees. that is the peak of their head. the weather front lurking out there in the western atla ntic lurking out there in the western atlantic is going to start to make inroads overnight and into sunday. —— peak of the head. since showers could be thundery, then we have this main belt of rain here which is going to push its way, and turned cooler and fresher here. that rain pushes its way north into northern and eastern england and across northern ireland. north—eastern england still dry, even ahead of the rain we could get temperatures of 22- 83 rain we could get temperatures of 22— 83 degrees briefly. that rain could be heavy, it could be thundery as well. the weather system bringing thatis as well. the weather system bringing that is going to ease its way up to the north—east of scotland overnight, and then we are waiting for the next weather systems are coming from the atlantic. so everything is coming in from the atla ntic everything is coming in from the atlantic as we head into the beginning of next week. a window of opportunity, some drier weather and a bit of sunshine in between those
11:32 pm
two brands of rain, but wetter and windier conditions are returning into northern ireland, wales and the south—west. temperatures will be back down to normal for this time of year, 22 at best with east midlands and eastern england. another weather system and eastern england. another weather syste m o n and eastern england. another weather system on the scene in that area of low pressure is going to be sitting very close by on tuesday. so some more wet and potentially windy weather as well, just slowly pushing through northern ireland, further into england and than perhaps into southern scotland. driest of all across the far north of scotland. this rain could be quite heavy at times and those temperatures are going to be around 17— times and those temperatures are going to be around i7— 19 degrees, so going to be around i7— 19 degrees, $03 going to be around i7— 19 degrees, so a bit ofa going to be around i7— 19 degrees, so a bit of a poor day on tuesday, u nless so a bit of a poor day on tuesday, unless you want the rain. eastern parts of the uk, midlands have been very dry across september, so you could argue this is welcome rain. but we still have areas of low pressure bringing this unsettled weather through tuesday, wednesday,
11:33 pm
thursday. the rain is going to be quite widespread and we're going to see heavy bursts rain as well with strong winds. so, very changeable weather. and if we look further ahead, this is the position of the jet stream. it is a little farther south, really, we are in the cooler out to the north of the jet stream, and because of this position of the jet not changing very much, the weather pattern, in terms of highs and lows won't change much. so big area of low pressure rotating around close to the uk, feeding in the wet conditions right there way into the end of next week into the following weekend as well, temperatures are back to around 15— 18 degrees by the weekend. so is a longer spells of rain quite windy too. so some big changes on the way. goodbye. hello. this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment with madeline grant
11:34 pm
and jason beattie. first, the headlines. a global climate strike. in cities across the uk, thousands have taken to the streets, calling for tougher action to combat climate change. from nairobi to new york, sydney to stockholm, millions have protested in more than a 150 countries around the world. labour's ruling body is to hold a vote on whether to abolish the post of deputy leader, currently held by tom watson. thomas cook asks the government for a multi—million pound bailout, as the travel firm scrambles to avoid collapse. the woman who claims she was abused by prince andrew speaks out. buckingham palace emphatically denies the duke of york had any sexual contact with her.
11:35 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are madeline grant and jason beattie. it is great to have you both back. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the guardian features today's protests around the world, calling for more action to stem climate change. the times also carries a picture of the climate protests and leads with thomas cook being on the brink of collapse. the daily express says the travel agency have made a last—minute appealfor a bailout from the government. now, according to the daily telegraph, the eu appeared to jeopardise efforts to secure a brexit deal,
11:36 pm
after leaking a memo critical of the uk's new proposals for an alternative to the northern ireland backstop. the financial times quotes research that labour's plans to hand 10% of shares from uk—based companies to workers would see british pension funds lose £31 billion. and finally, john humphreys, who presented his last radio 4 ‘today‘ programme this week, features on the front page of the daily mail, claiming bbc bosses are out of touch. we will get to that particular story. it is on our list. but we're going to start, madeline jason with the start of the guardian. those protests that we have seen around the world today. the day the world took to the streets. madeline? yes, an extraordinary day of protest. protest around the web with millions of young people but many teachers, politicians, many health workers, doctors, nurses and so i'm joining
11:37 pm
in the protest. and here in britain they were taking place in several cities including one in london that i saw with my own eyes this morning. do you agree with the idea that kids should give school?|j do you agree with the idea that kids should give school? i think it varies from country to country, but i think you're in britain the government has taken seriously drastic steps. some of the most ambitious emissions targets of any country in the developed world, and i certainly don't think politicians and teachers should be encouraging young people to take the day of school, i think it is going above and beyond what their role should be. and i think the teachers that is wrong for them to go out of the way to politicised children. i saw some children as young as ten being interviewed and some of what they we re interviewed and some of what they were saying was quite fatalistic and extremely terrified — young people. and i think perhaps you know, as
11:38 pm
good as it is to get young people in politics, i think there are people in positions of responsibility who may be going above and beyond what their role should be. i'm struggling what's wrong to see with educating young people about the extraordinarily real dangers posed bya extraordinarily real dangers posed by a claimant emergency. i don't think they are fatalistic, i think they have every right to be alarmed. the figures of the situation at the moment is not something we should actually... we should be panicking about it. whether thunberg has said i want you to panic. there are and she's right. we already have 400 dead zones, what they are cold, areas where life no longer functions. there is no oxygen in those parts of the ocean. we have rising sea levels, more severe weather patterns, parts of the arctic melting, a record number of fires stop we have wildfires in
11:39 pm
places like greenland and the swedish area of the arctic. that is how bad it is. we have a bowling air pollution. in britain, the department of health is so worried about this they are now looking at the effects proposed by diseases such as malaria and the seeker virus. malaria and is eager coming to this country —— zika virus because of the changing climate. i could go on and on about how serious this is. the world bank is predicting that we will be 150 million people joined because of itibss million people joined because of mass migration because there homes have become uninhabitable. the un says that is an underestimate and it is more likely to be 200 million people. if you are a young person,
11:40 pm
and using the planet we are about to inherit because of the idiocy of world leaders now in their failure to take action, i would not be angry, i would to take action, i would not be angry, iwould be to take action, i would not be angry, i would be furious. to take action, i would not be angry, iwould be furious. and it's the young people who have to school the young people who have to school the adults on this one. i know you say we are doing well, and we are one of the few countries that have actually set a target by 2050, but actually, the scientific community is saying, you have so david king on radio this morning, saying he needs to be brought forward to 2040. and we are one of the good guys. —— so david king. only seven of the countries that signed up to these agreements are filling their commitments. let us turn to the times. this is the front of the times. this is the front of the times stop we again another picture of some of those protests. it's interesting that it is led by children, mainly by girls and young women. they are saying disproportionately we had the girls that were taking to the streets.
11:41 pm
there were boys and young men there, but women really taking a lead on this. yes. i'm sure that's true. but let's not forget much of the narrative that has been designed by the group extinction rebellion, it isn't necessarily children acting organically. there was some guidelines about teachers encouraging their children to put them in the protest, telling them about climate change or leading a delegation to the protest. i think it was a great deal of adult involvement, i think it would be untruthful to ignore that. but more to the point about the extinction rebellion narrative, a great deal of what you said i agree with, but i think we may be setting up for a debate where we don't have the right questions, not giving enough scooter needs to the highly extreme proposals made by this group. they wa nt to
11:42 pm
proposals made by this group. they want to sing at zero carbon emissions by 2025. i'm not sure that we are even beginning to discuss what that would do for our economy. and when people do discuss solutions 01’ and when people do discuss solutions or possible solutions to climate change, in tandem with others, they tend to be rejected out of hand by members of extinction rebellion. on the sir dave programme this morning, one woman rejected carbon capture, elsewhere they have rejected carbon offsets, and they have also rejected nuclear power. they are not that good at providing measures to get us there. we need to take responsibility for climate change with proper solutions, rather than terrorising young people. the problem at hand, and this is quite important, the people most opposed to these demonstrations are multinational corporations. and, you know, the oil companies which don't
11:43 pm
don'tjust make know, the oil companies which don't don't just make petrol, know, the oil companies which don't don'tjust make petrol, but make the plastics we use as well. it is the airlines which are worried about their bottom line. just one quick statistic, a return flight from london to new york, a single flight, is estimated to reduce the arctic cup by three metres. that is how bad it is. -- cup by three metres. that is how bad it is. —— that's about it is. cup by three metres. that is how bad it is. -- that's about it is. it would be interesting to see young people adapting their behaviour, but young people love holidays and travelling. a lot of children are saying this and teachers are saying this, they are learning how to debate in the classroom, they are learning about facts, and relating
11:44 pm
to the facts for the first time. for the children, this makes sense, this is one of the arguments in terms of why they are taking to the streets. that would be great, but most young children i know that aides tend to be on children i know that aides tend to beona children i know that aides tend to be on a permanent state of being glued to their devices at all times. and i think it is going to take, well, it is one thing to take a day of jazz, but i well, it is one thing to take a day ofjazz, but i think selling your devises and walking to school as to being driven, or perhaps reading a book instead of being glued to your ipad is the way forward. —— one thing to take a day off school, but i think turning off your devises and walking to school. -- devices. we will see how the two summers take place this weekend —— summits. an now, the eu has leaked a memo about the brexit plan. this has come from eu officials, apparently boring hot water on the uk cosmic proposals for alternative arrangements to the backstop. they have lead does make
11:45 pm
uk's proposals for alternative arrangements to the backstop. they have leagues which have basically poured hot water on the uk's plans. this may come as something of a blow. downing street continues to insist the proposals were not intended as the endpoint but a springboard for future discussions. it is the headline that is sensationalist. we have half worked out plans which we have half presented to the eu and understandably, they could have not particularly impressed all of us. they have been waiting and waiting for the government to come forward with something so i don't think it
11:46 pm
is sabotaging, the best of being sceptical, at worst of being cynical but it is not undermining something because there is nothing to undermine. that is my issue. i ee, undermine. that is my issue. i agree, there was some quiet optimistic noises coming from brussels earlier in the week and actually from other key players in this debate, that a breakthrough was possible. there was a lot of cynicism about it but now we're back to the stage of not being held by the brexit speech in madrid. a lot of bad blood these things work quickly but if they did get a deal, could borisjohnson quickly but if they did get a deal, could boris johnson get quickly but if they did get a deal, could borisjohnson get it through the commons? that is a much more
11:47 pm
substantial question. lim indeed. let's turn to the ft weekend and labour is hatching its own plan to hit pensioners, potentially. this relates to the labour party pledge which i think has been in their manifesto for some time to essentially handle 10% of the shares of companies to the workers of those companies in the mass appropriation of shares. there has been a calculation that that scheme would cost pension funds at £31 billion. interestingly, the shadow chancellor john mcdonnell has strongly rebuked the calculations. there was a claim that the no—deal brexit represented
11:48 pm
a bigger financial penalty rather thana a bigger financial penalty rather than a corbyn government. the other that had long been claimed. this is the fear that tends to choke investment into the economy. expropriated, shares expropriated by the ruling party was to be doesn't dwell for investment.|j the ruling party was to be doesn't dwell for investment. i would like you to pick up on another story that broken tonight. —— doesn't do well for investment. they have a much more pressing and topical battle taking place which is this move. this is the corbyn campaign group.
11:49 pm
this is the corbyn campaign group. this is the corbyn campaign group. this is going to go to a vote tomorrow. it is splitting the party on the eve of a conference which sta rts on the eve of a conference which starts early in brighton. some people are just completely exasperated by saying hang on, you have a conservative government which is just out ——at war with his own mps and struggling to come up with something on brexit and moving to the right and labour at all times should be united and not fighting themselves. they should be taking themselves. they should be taking the fight to the tories stop what do we do? they are in this ridiculous, bitter and acrimonious civil war and you have to wonder what are they thinking of and how serious are they about power or are they more serious about power or are they more serious about who controls power in the labour party. we will find out
11:50 pm
tomorrow. let's quickly turn to another story which could be affecting families. it could also affecting families. it could also affect taxpayers because thomas cook is asking the government for a bailout, a state bailout. yes, been in trouble for some time but they are saying they need £200 million worth of additional funds to essentially prevent themselves from going into administration over the weekend. there is the risk that if that happens, a staggering 100,000 tourists who are currently holidaying overseas could be stranded out there without return flights and there is now some debate over whether the government should essentially take control and give that money to thomas cook to ensure those flights or whether it runs into administration. we get that decision this weekend and jason, summarised the front of the daily mailfor summarised the front of the daily mail for us, summarised the front of the daily mailfor us, please. i am a bit
11:51 pm
disappointed. yesterday john mailfor us, please. i am a bit disappointed. yesterdayjohn left with his colleagues singing his praises. some a little bit sentimental but the guy was a sta lwa rt sentimental but the guy was a stalwart of reduce journalism on the bbc for many years and a day after, he comes out to publicise his memoir with a rather bitter attack on the organisation which has fed him and nurtured him and loved him for so many years and i think that is probably a bit illjudged and rather sad, considering how much appreciation there was for him yesterday. thank you very much, it isa yesterday. thank you very much, it is a pleasure. 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, madeline and jason. goodbye.

good evening, i am connie mclaughlin here's your latest sports news. we start with football — there was one game in the premier league tonight and bournemouth won for the first time ever against southampton at st mary's with a 3—1victory. nick parrott reports. southampton shouldn't need firing up against bournemouth because they had never lost at home to their local rivals. they shouldn't be complacent. their analysis should have seen where there was a danger posed. that is that eighth premier league goalfrom a posed. that is that eighth premier league goal from a corner. posed. that is that eighth premier league goalfrom a corner. a posed. that is that eighth premier league goal from a corner. a score of some fine free kicks. here he showed his instincts to double the
11:53 pm
advantage. spurred a response from the saints but aaron ramsdell was equal to anything coming at him until equal to anything coming at him u ntil steve equal to anything coming at him until steve cook gave southampton an opportunity that wasn't missed. his first goal of the season denying bournemouth their first clean sheet of the season. their advantage might have been restored had their penalty advantage not been turned down but instead they had to withstand a barrage of attacks and at times look like they might not hold on but in their search for an equaliser, southhampton lost their concentration at the back and kallen wilson took advantage to see the victory they have — make their club have had to wait almost 66 years for. the waiting is over. the rugby world cup is finally underway injapan. it's the first time the tournamet has ever been played in asia and its expected to draw in a huge global audience. like samurai warriors the hosts kicked things off by putting russia to the sword in a convincing 30—10
11:54 pm
victory in pool a in tokyo. wing kotaro matsushima scored a hat—trick. they have been preparing for the world cup opening game and at times it was obvious that it got to some of our players. having said that, i am pretty proud about the way we battled through that and were able to score 30 odd points. scotland and ireland are injapan's group and they face each other on sunday in yokohama. scotland have only beaten ireland once since the last world cup. scotland head coach gregor townsend is looking forward to getting started. it is the opening game of the world cup. you play a team who are currently ranked number one in the world but obviously we know are a very good team, a team that we play every year so you can't disguise it as anything else that a hugely
11:55 pm
important game against a very, very good side. and england have named a strong side to face tonga on sunday in saporro. captain owen farrell plays at centre alongside manu tuilagi. george ford is at fly half. super league champions wigan warriors beat salford red devils 18—12 in tonight's qualifying final. they scored three tries including this one form george williams but it was in defence where they were most impressive. it means they are nowjust one win away from the grand final at old trafford. hazy conditions have overshadowed preparations for the singapore grand prix this weekend, with the city's worst air pollution in three years causing some concern, but practice has been taking place today. valterri bottas crashed in the first session — hitting the barriers of the street circuit. he missed the rest of the session as a result. championship leader lewis hamilton was the fastested in second practice ahead of qualifying tomorrow. that's all the sport for now.
11:56 pm
friday was a warm and sunny day across friday was a warm and sunny day a cross m ost friday was a warm and sunny day across most parts of the british isles. for something of a rerun on sunday because the overall setup isn't changing very rapidly. hi in the continent, low pressure in the atla ntic the continent, low pressure in the atlantic and this combination produces south—easterly winds from the mediterranean. subtle changes on that theme. —— high in the atlantic. eventually we will fill in the cloud across western areas. an onshore breeze to the shores they will put temperatures down to 16 or 17 become inland, 20 something widely available. something of a change from saturday into sunday and that will bring this weather front in from the atlantic to western parts of the british isles. before that arrives, the chance of some heavy and thundery showers working their way up the spine of the british isles and then the frontal system chasesin isles and then the frontal system
11:57 pm
chases in to southern and western parts during the course of the afternoon. you won't see it for a good we while across northern and eastern parts and brightest guys to finish and drier conditions, too, into the far south—west. from sunday into the far south—west. from sunday into monday, a little ridge of high pressure between the weather fronts. it will take time on monday before we get rid of the last of sunday's rain and then a lull in proceedings. make the most of that if you need dry weather because hard on its heels, the next belt of wet and windy fair pushing in from the south—west. because of the south—westerly went, it won't be a cold one. they will be sunshine around as well, 16 to about 20 will cover it. having introduced that notion of fronts coming in from the atlantic, tuesday is pretty similar and that will bring more wet and windy weather and initially across the far south—west but it works its way ever further north during the course of the day and i suspect that tuesday, well, it'll only be that far west of scotland and maybe
11:58 pm
scotla nd far west of scotland and maybe scotland that escapes will be a wet and windy day. temperatures, given the strength of the sunshine, no surprise they are up again into the teens. here we are, middle part of the week, still dominating the scene, swinging weather fronts towards us from the atlantic. the number of isobars on that chart. mid week, pretty wet, pretty windy, too.
