buckle up, i have a lot of weather to get through over the next 3.5 minutes, in this forecast for the week ahead. the jetstream minutes, in this forecast for the week ahead. thejetstream has really ramped upa week ahead. thejetstream has really ramped up a gear, blowing across the atlantic, spinning up areas of low pressure and driving them in our direction. this low will bring very wet and windy weather to some of us during saturday night and sunday, but before it arrives, it could just about make out a little bump in the isobars, there is a very weak and transient ridge of high pressure toppling through, so that will peel off showers during the day, more dry weather into the afternoon with some spells of sunshine, temperatures of 13-19. but spells of sunshine, temperatures of 13—19. but behind me, this is our next area of low pressure, pushing in from the south—west during saturday night, really heavy burst of rain, this could cause some flooding, on the southern flank of that low, some strong south—westerly winds which could well gust to 40-50, 50 mph also winds which could well gust to 40—50, 50 mph also in the most exposed spots. during sunday, the

area of low pressure continues to push eastwards, very wet weather particularly for england and wales, into southern scotland well, could be localised flooding problems, still some strong winds in the south, but phenomenon island in the northern part of scotland, the wind is lighter, a few showers with some spells of sunshine as well. as we head into sunday evening on the back edge of that low pressure system, notice the isobars squatting together, another bout of strong winds, this time from the north or north—west, could see gust of 60 mph, some coastal flooding north—west, could see gust of 60 mph, some coastalflooding is possible in eastern areas. the back edge of that weather system will draw down cold air from the north, but mild airat draw down cold air from the north, but mild air at the same time will be trying to return from the south—west ahead of this, this is oui’ south—west ahead of this, this is our next area of low pressure. this will be making its move during monday. most places likely to start a fine monday. most places likely to start afine and monday. most places likely to start a fine and drier, with a fair amount of cloud and then we see outbreaks of cloud and then we see outbreaks of rain pushing and, once again across england and wales, temperatures in the south 16, i7,

but the cold air making its presence felt across northern areas, that will continue to be the case on tuesday, scotland, northern ireland, could see some spells of sunshine, some showery rain towards the south, but the temperatures, may be nine degrees in aberdeen, and even further south, signs that things will start to turn cooler. that process continues as we head into the middle of the week, an area of low pressure slides awaken a high pressure building back in from the west, that is likely to be driving a brisk northerly wind across the uk on wednesday, but there will be a lot of dry weather, some spells of sunshine, but we are exposed to the breeze, expect to feel chilly. i2 sunshine, but we are exposed to the breeze, expect to feel chilly. 12 in norwich, ten across eastern parts of scotland. 0ur weather for the latter pa rt scotland. 0ur weather for the latter part of next week and into next weekend is currently spinning around in the atlantic. this major hurricane lorenzo, over the coming days, you can see the days ticking away in the corner, this hurricane is going to move northwards, it will wea ken is going to move northwards, it will weaken and will not be a hurricane anymore, but the remnants will get

swept up by the jetstream. that combination of tropical moisture and the jetstream often quite uncertain to predict in terms of exactly what will happen. most computer models keep the remnants of lorenzo out to the west, that would give us a south—westerly wind and turn things a little warmer. there are some computer models, this seems less likely, they bring that area of low pressure closer to the uk, bringing some very wet and windy weather. we will keep an eye on that, but either way as we head into next weekend, it does stay rather unsettled.

hello. this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. the former cabinet minister amber rudd has accused number 10 of using words that could incite violence. nicola sturgeon says the snp could back a caretaker government led byjeremy corbyn — to prevent a no—deal brexit. borisjohnson has been referred to the independent 0ffice for police conduct to assess whether he should be investigated for misconduct in while he was the mayor of london. cleveland police has become the first force in england and wales to be rated inadequate

across all areas of performance. a mother has admitted murdering her two teenage sons in sheffield and plotting to murder four more of her own children. after facing criticism over the decision to uphold a complaint about breakfast tv presenter naga munchetty, bbc bosses say they're not impartial on racism. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the deputy political editor of the daily mail, john stevens and guardian columnist dawn foster. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the guardian says the bbc is fighting to contain a growing crisis last night over its decision to censure a bbc breakfast presenter

over her comments about donald trump, amid fury inside the corporation. the daily mail front page features the same story — saying the bbc is embroiled in a race row, after it reprimanded naga munchetty. the i says the government are trying claw back money from thomas cook executives to compensate customers. the daily express focuses on prince harry, following in his mother's footsteps in angola, to highlight the danger of landmines and the call for them to be banned. the times claims online pharmacies are prescribing powerful opioids without consulting gps, which is in breach of new regulations. according to the daily telegraph, sirjohn major is facing questions over his role in the downfall of margaret thatcher after her authorised biography revealed he conspired with some of her closest aides

to ensure she stood down so he could try to succeed her. the daily mirror says ministers are considering a ban on souvenirs from the trophy hunting. the financial times leads with the story about the white house considering a plan to stop chinese companies listing on us exchanges, in a move that would take its trade war with china to wall street. those are the front pages. let us start our chat. we start on the front page of the i. it is coming down to money for thomas cook. yes, ministers want to claw back a lot of the money that thomas cook executives took before the company collapsed. it was in trouble for years, it was constantly using a huge amount of its cash to pay down debts, that equally, at the same time, bosses were getting millions, even though the company was

massively underperforming. now the government have had to foot the bill to bring back the holidaymakers who we re to bring back the holidaymakers who were stranded. but also workers who we re were stranded. but also workers who were stranded. but also workers who were stranded. the government are looking into what they can do to try to get that money back. some of it was shares, which is now worthless, but a lot of it was cash bonuses. taxpayers massively out of pocket here, hundreds of millions of pounds, it brings back hundred and 50,000 people who were on holiday when the firm collapse. it also compensating people who have lost out because they were unable to go on holiday. i think it is millions of pounds for those not able to go away. it is not right that the taxpayer should be paying all that money and these people who have had payments forfailure, millions money and these people who have had payments for failure, millions and millions of pounds, they should be paying that as well. i don't know if you picked up on this protective award that many of the employees of thomas cook are using now to try and

get compensation as well. as a mention, 21,000 workers. they lost their jobs mention, 21,000 workers. they lost theirjobs very suddenly. they are looking at whether or not they can get a redundancy payment, protective award that is given to companies who have more than 20 workers. but all of these people are on quite low pay as well. they won't have a huge amount of savings, they will have to go to the job centre. so the government has set up a special hotline, a special area in everyjob ce ntre hotline, a special area in everyjob centre that thomas cook employees will speak to. it is a huge blow for them. in the government will have to pay a huge amount of universal credit to them as well. it is hard when you have thousands of people in the same industry losing theirjobs at the same time. you have the same people will competing for the same jobs. there will be a lot of people, cabin crew, who have lost their jobs, there will not be loads of

airlines able to take them on at the same time. i do know that they are urging other employers to expedite recruiting for former thomas cook employees, because of them being out of pocket and the effect is having. let us turn to the front page of the guardian and the furious backlash at the bbc as the race row grows. yes. this row was continuing, it is getting a lot bigger. it came off the back of one complaints, after naga munchetty's comments. an hour dozens of very prominent figures have come out in support of her, including lenny henry and adrian lister. and a lot of bbcjournalists are also very angry about this. it doesn't seem to be going away, it seems to be getting bigger. and a lot of the general public as well, very concerned about the fact that she was simply talking about her own

experiences and saying how a lot of the things that were shouted at her that were clearly racist echoed the comments that donald trump had made to three serving congresswomen in the us. the bbc has been taken aback by the massive backlash to this west wimmera hundreds of people signing letters planning, people working in this building complaining about has been going on ——to this with hundreds of people. people are saying we admire naga munchetty and that she is a brilliantjournalist and that she is admired by the corporation. they have not withdrawn the complaint that was made of out her. they have not withdrawn that editorial finding. her. they have not withdrawn that editorialfinding. is quite hard for bbc, actually. --it is quite hard. shallow go through the statement the bbc has issued 7 shallow go through the statement the bbc has issued? headed up by the bbc executive committee. i6 signatories led by tony hall, director—general. the statement does say that "you will have heard a lot of comment of the buzzfeed is about the bbc and

the buzzfeed is about the bbc and the reporting of racism —— about the bbc. " racism is not a matter of opinion orfor debate. bbc. " racism is not a matter of opinion or for debate. naga munchetty is one of our stars and was completely within her rights to speak about the tweets of donald trump, which have been widely condemned as racist, completely back in saying as a woman of colour, to go back to a come from, that was embedded in racism. she was speaking honestly and from the heart about her experiences was not we admire her experiences was not we admire herfor it. and she her experiences was not we admire her for it. and she was completely justified in doing so. the very limited finding was not about her comments on racism, that part of the complaint was rejected. diversity matters usually. the success of the bbc is built on equality and diversity of our people, that is not negotiable." that diversity of our people, that is not negotiable. " that is diversity of our people, that is not negotiable." that is the bbc executive statement issued this afternoon. it will be interesting to see where this goes stop a story that has grown through the day. let

us that has grown through the day. let us turn to the front page of the times and an issue that has been rumbling for a few months now, really, online opioids is the front page for the times. it is talking about the massive number of people who are now taking opioids, reports earlier this year saying that 5 million people a year in the uk are actually prescribed opioids at the moment. this is talking about how easy it is for them to get drugs online and talking about our online pharmacies doing the proper checks so pharmacies doing the proper checks so when people ask for prescriptions, do they check that they have a prescription from their doctor or delay properly check that they should be taking these drugs and should be taking them for prolonged periods of time ——or do they properly check? a lot of the pharmacies are selling huge numbers of drugs. you can get 200 tablets from a lot of them. you can get the hydrocodone, twice as codeine. it is

very easy to go back and get more. if you are prescribed opioids by a doctor you get hooked. it is very easy to go online, get more. there isa easy to go online, get more. there is a great worry we could have an opioid problem as bad as the us if this happens with very, very few checks and peoples doctors aren't told. it would be interesting to know, for people who do use this online service, whether gps do in fa ct online service, whether gps do in fact sign off on these prescriptions are. yes, the times also talked about one company they found that we're using gps that were not properly registered in the uk. there isa properly registered in the uk. there is a massive concern that somebody could either lie about their health and get these orjust be prescribed to many by a doctor who isn't registered here. and it could be life—threatening, especially if some people are taking these on top of what they are prescribed from the

gps. it is a sign of desperation, really, if you are going online to buy such a strong medication. these are vulnerable people. these are highly addictive drugs. that is the problem. we're not talking about paracetamol, either profane, one of the main painkillers. we're talking highly addictive drugs. it is easy to get into a pattern of dependence. that is why these checks by doctors are so that is why these checks by doctors are so important and if you can get them online without that happening. dawn, from your personal expense, you take painkillers for your back. have you ever looked at these websites to see what on earth they offer? i actually did just before eye came on. it took me four minutes to order 100 tablets. minimal checks. at the bottom it said do you wa nt checks. at the bottom it said do you want us to tell your gp, you click fio want us to tell your gp, you click no bandages go through. it is very easy. too easy. —— and just go

through. i get 48 a month from my doctor. and they check to see if someone doctor. and they check to see if someone else will work for me. these online pharmacies, it is very easy to lie in your gp doesn't know you are taking them. the fact that you get to tk box to see if your gp finds out or not seems ridiculous. public health england have said that there are not enough alternative therapies to support people who are trying to stop taking these strong medications. ——tk box. john major's role in margaret thatcher's downfall. when margaret thatcher stood down and what rolejohn major had. 0bviously their relationship. he had been her chancellor. when he became prime minister things started off quite well but deteriorated with him saying she had behaved in an intolerable way is a backseat driver. and so it is quite

interesting. it is a biography written by charles moore. as well as the serious stuff showing the final days of margaret thatcher's simon bower, it shows a softer side afterwards. —— time in parliament. she was really soft with her children and grandchildren. there is a story from one of her grandchildren, when she was five or six, margaret thatcher came in to read her a bedtime story. and despite being five or six, margaret thatcher asked, started talking about the falklands war, and asking if she had an understanding why it was important for the uk to reclaim its territorial. and the granddaughter saying it was utterly flexing at the time but it is one of her favourite anecdotes about her grandmother. it shows how utterly unprepared she was for life after numberio. it unprepared she was for life after number 10. it clearly came as a shock to her thatjohn number 10. it clearly came as a shock to her that john major didn't pack didn't sign the nomination

papers, and she was out of number 10 all of a sudden. it also says she had no money in her bank account, had no money in her bank account, had no money in her bank account, had no idea how to use a telephone or leave an answer phone message, or even use a remote control for a television. how do you think this co m pa res television. how do you think this compares with the cut and thrust of politics we are seeing now?|j compares with the cut and thrust of politics we are seeing now? i think theresa may might have been a little more prepared to leave number 10. i think it is still upsetting for her. they would not be surprised if when borisjohnson leave they would not be surprised if when boris johnson leave number 10 they would not be surprised if when borisjohnson leave number 10 he did not know how to use a phone, a remote control, or have money in his bank. we turn to the front page of the express. iconic images we are getting from angola. diana would be so proud is the headline. way as we head into next weekend, it does stay rather unsettled. he is mother —— following his mother's footsteps, it is really great seeing the two iconic pictures together. diana got a lot of stick at the time when she went into the

minefield, doing charity work, and it is great to see harry following in those footsteps. i think it shows also that he wants to be a more lived royal, and i think harry and megan are very appealing to younger people, whereas i think william and kate appealed to slightly older people. so it is interesting to see him try to be more a have, try to do more charity work, and be a bit more public. i think most people in the country are fond of prince harry, remembering him from his youth, and there are a lot of affection towards him, they have been disappointed by the last three months, some of the things he's done have been quite controversial, people feel quite let down, i think he has been slightly hypocritical and some of his behaviour. seeing him do something positive i think is great, and obviously, princess diana, it was 1997 when she went through that land minefield in angola, and so she died quite shortly after. she was not actually able to see the impact she had had on that mine field, shortly

after she died in 1997 there was an international treaty to outlaw landmines as weapons. and so i think it is quite sweet that perhaps harry is here more than 20 years later, kind of going through the same place. i think they are out there with the halo trust and the pledge is to clear all mines by 2025. and it is interesting because i think a lot of people that was just the field minefield is actually a street that she will stop harry, we saw harry coming down as well. what is your assessment of the tour of prince harry and megan as well, how do you think it has gone? it has been positive, and has been quite nice to see baby rg, they have been —— ah chee. they have been criticised for taking millions of pounds of public money to renovate the cottage and then had been quite protective of their son, only limited times have we seen him. to

see him out there looking quite happy -- see him out there looking quite happy —— archie. showing see him out there looking quite happy -- archie. showing off see him out there looking quite happy —— archie. showing off their baby, i think it has been positive. if he has been able to take in visits like this on the trip, it is great. it will always cost money to move a royal around, and i think it has been very positive, i think they are quite widely liked, and i think also, even though they have been protective of their child, a lot of people understand why, given what happened with diana. i think a lot of people understand why harry is very cautious of the press, why both her sons would be cautious of the press after this. i think any parent would. thank you, john and dawn. i know you both have busy weekends ahead. back to politics for both of you. thank you for coming in. that's it for the papers tonight. thank you again, john and dawn. 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. goodbye. good evening, i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes, here with your latest sports news. we're starting with the world athletics championships which got under way today in qatar. the marathon is still going on after its late start due to the heat there — but it's been a mixed day for british athletes, notably the huge disappointment for the former european champion lynsey sharp, who went out in the first of the 800 metres, finishing fourth. the top three went through to the semifinals and sharp wasn't quick enough to take

a fastest loser spot. alex bell and shelayna 0skan—clarke did qualify for tomorrow's semis. this year's 800 metres is wide open with the absence of the defending champion caster semenya, and sharp was a genuine medal contender. no trouble for britain's sprinters in the 100 metre heats — adam gemilli qualified third in his which was won by the american sprinterjustin gatlin. 0jie edoburun qualified as a fastest loser and zharnel hughes was impressive after a poor start in his heat. it's a bit different, from the heat to the cold, especially in the cold room, it is a bit chilly, the degrees is like 22. i am happy that i got through and onto the next one. the contraversial american sprinter christian coleman remains the 100m gold medalfavourite though — running the only sub—10 seconds time of the day. coleman is competing in doha after the us anti doping agency dropped their charges relating to him missing three drugs tests due

to a technicality. the 100 metres semifinals and final are tomorrow. in the women's pole vault, holly bradshaw cleared the qualifying height for the final at the first attempt. 4.60 metres — now she can conserve all her energy for sunday's final. and there's been a lot of talk about the heat in doha but it's not clear if it had anything to do with the plight of this poor runner from the caribean island of aruba... this isjonathan busby — who was competing in the men's 5000m heats, and he was in serious trouble on the final lap, having to be helped by braima dabo of guinea—bissau. busby was ok in the end, and he even had time to stop his watch. they finished five minutes behind the winner of the heat. busby was later disqualified. for receiving help in the race. st helens are through to their first super league grand finalforfive years after thrashing wigan 40—10. st helens, who won the league leaders shield, were all over the reigning champions wigan, scoring four tries in the first half to lead 26—6 at half time. three more in the second

including a double from mark percival took the game beyond wigan — who'll get another chance to make the grand final when they play salford next week. there were a couple of games in the championship tonight. fulham beat wigan 2—0, but the big story was at stoke where nottingham forest went to the top of the table — after coming from a goal down to win 3—2. goals from joe lolley, this from sammy ameobi and one from lewis grabban. stoke are still without a win this season but forest are top for the first time in five years. elsewhere, fulham beat wigan 2—0. britain's nicola adams has retained her wbo world flyweight title after a split decision draw in her historic fight against maria salinas. after becoming the first female boxers to fight at the royal albert hall, the pair were closely matched and the judges scored it 96—94 to salinas, 97—93 to adams and 95—95 afterwards the two time 0lympic champion admitted she was a bit ‘ring rusty‘ after a year out and offered the mexican a rematch.

england wicket keeper sarah taylor has retired from international cricket because of her ongoing issues with anxiety. she previously took a break from the game in 2016, before winning the world cup with england a year later. taylor has three times been named the world's best women's t20 player, and she's second on england's women's list of run—scorers. plenty more on the bbc sport website including build up to ireland's game against hosts japan at the rugby world cup tomorrow morning. that's all the sport for now. if you do get some clear skies in the next few hours, you may be treated in the north to the northern lights. but the story really is one of cloudy skies for the majority. we have had some really intense showers during the course of friday, we have saturday some low pressure building up saturday some low pressure building up and we have rain anyway moving across northern ireland into parts of mainland uk as well. through the

rest of the night. so it is very u nsettled rest of the night. so it is very unsettled picture, we are due another 50— 100 millimetres of rain on already saturated ground with high river levels, the concerns really are there for flooding. 0ne band made its way swiftly edwards and deteriorates to showers, as it gradually gets drier, the showers diminish in the north and some early morning mist and fog that clears away, i think on the whole the afternoon today looks a little bit drier, brighter and it will feel warmer than the morning. but looming large towards the south—west, the next band of intense rain, there is some tropical air mixed in amongst this area of low pressure, so as we saw earlier in the week the potential is there for torrential, persistent rain to move its way and across england and wales, possibly parts of northern ireland and scotland, as well as the rain this time it is a batch of strong winds again, gale force winds, but because we have a new moon, a full moon during the evening and overnight, that will allow high tides, so we could see some coastal flooding as well. it is a similar problem as we

go through sunday, the rain only slowly easing away, strong winds buffeting many areas, and northerly winds that invite scotland and northern ireland, so perhaps here escaping the west of the rain, but it starts to feel colder and as those north or north—westerly winds and set in, it looks as if they will have a sting in their tail and we will potentially have a spell of gail's later on sunday across wales and england, and if they hit the east coast at the same time as the high tide, that could also cause some coastal inundation because it does look as if it will be a very strong and gusty north—westerly as well, north north—westerly. very inclement weather due over the weekend. there are warnings out, they are on the website, but for the heavy rain, could lead to further flooding, flash flooding and potential river flooding, flooding, flash flooding and potential riverflooding, gale flooding, flash flooding and potential river flooding, gale force wind as well as high tides. as for the new week it gets colder and remains unsettled, they may be a brief respite from the rain but it is basic unsettled picture.

this is bbc news. i'm reged ahmad. our top stories: the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, is given a week to hand over documents relating to ukraine, as the democrats step up the trump impeachment investigation. nigerian police rescue nearly 500 men and boys from what's being described as a house of torture. egypt's security forces shut down key areas of cairo, preventing fresh protests from taking place. and walking in his mother's footsteps — prince harry visits
