week, tuesday in the south. temperatures 15—17, perhaps a smidgen above average. no worries with ross because we have so much wind and cloud. it is almost a repeat performance on wednesday, but different areas catching the showers. nevertheless, a very showery picture as you can see. the devil will be in the detail with these showers. if you have plans this week, please don't make this the last four because you see because we have further doubles to come, some windy weather, but at least there will be some sunshine as well.
11:31 pm
hello. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. a new law banning face masks in hong kong fails to deter tens of thousands of people from taking to the streets. they started firing out volleys of tear gas down into the street. the protesters are responding by pouring
11:32 pm
water onto the tear gas canisters while throwing them back. days to decide if there can be a brexit deal — emmanuel macron tells the prime minister his proposals will be evaluated by the end of the week. the parents of a teenager killed in a road accident involving an american diplomat‘s wife make an emotional appeal for her to return to the uk. i wouldn't want to think that she put herself on that plane to go home to avoid what she's done because i couldn't live with myself. ginger baker — groundbreaking rock drummer — has died at the age of 80. renee zellweger stepped into the shoes ofjudy garland. find out what mark kermode makes of that in the rest of this week's releases in the film review.
11:33 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the independent‘s deputy political editor, rob merrick and the the broadcaster lynn faulds—wood. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the telegraph's front page says borisjohnson is prepared to launch legal action to allow a no—deal brexit. the metro's front page headline reads: ‘squat a nerve‘ and says mrjohnson will refuse to leave number 10, even if he's voted out by mps. the times also leads on politics. it says the prime minister is in talks with eu leaders in an attempt to save his brexit plan after they told him it would not be approved at next week's summit. the mirror's front page mentions a warning from medical experts that a no—deal could spark a shortage of drugs which may lead to deaths. away from brexit — the daily mail's front page says a judge has criticised the police watchdog for its investigation into how officers responded to false
11:34 pm
allegations of a vip paedophile ring. and the guardian leads on news that counter—terror police are running a database with the detials of thousands of people referred to the anti—radicalisation prevent let's start with the times in the headline here, johnson in last—ditch bid to save brexit plan. we know he's been meeting with president emacron today. doesn't seem to be making much progress. emmaneuel macron wouldn't see him but he would ta ke macron wouldn't see him but he would take a telephone call. the subhead in this article is, pm warns eu about there being no more delay. where did the delay come from because we've done this for 3.5 yea rs. because we've done this for 3.5 years. i think there will be no more
11:35 pm
delay. when they don't like the look of the deal presented last two days. the other thing i'm sure they don't like, last week, he threatened them with being a truculent and mutinous member of the eu if you didn't get his way. that's not going to cut much ice, is it? the french are a bit worried about the uk becoming a tax haven on the edge of europe. telling them it would be mutinous, they are hardly likely to like that. it looks like there is mutiny in his camp because the attorney general said today that if he tried to have an ideal brexit, he would leave the cabinet. there are two cabinet ministers. they're just a secretary as well. i think this is all going to end in tears. any hope at all? a final opportunity to strike a deal. does anyone believe there is? the
11:36 pm
times is trying to pretend we are on tenterhooks but the story is full of the really aggressive language here from number ten. no the really aggressive language here from numberten. no more the really aggressive language here from number ten. no more compromise. if there is no more compromise from numberten, there is no if there is no more compromise from number ten, there is no deal. if there is no more compromise from numberten, there is no deal. we know that. there is not much left to fight about this week and we wait for the crucial date which is october 19 and if no deal is being passed, johnson will be required to seek an extension to article 52 delay brexit or face the music. that leads us nicely onto the daily telegraph and what will happen in that case. boris will seek a supreme court ruling on no deal, what are they suggesting might happen next? they are suggesting that rather than sending the letter as required, he will take the case to the supreme court. he would have to challenge the high court ruling. for him, it's
11:37 pm
all about martyrdom. it's all about being able to fight a future general election which seems so much more likely is the person determined to deliver brexit doing everything he possibly could to do so. it is really his only hope. they've lost the remain vote and they have to go all out for leave and there is a bit of hope for them there. i see the times story referred to the polling expertjohn curtice uses times story referred to the polling expert john curtice uses the times story referred to the polling expertjohn curtice uses the public response tojohnson's expertjohn curtice uses the public response to johnson's proposals expertjohn curtice uses the public response tojohnson's proposals is so response tojohnson's proposals is so much more favourable and theresa may's proposals. before, an election after brexit has been delayed, breaking his do or die promise, but there is a bit of a shift in the mood. maybe he has a shot if brexit was delayed. call me cynical, but we slightly disagreed on who the personnel doing these are earlier,
11:38 pm
privately. i think this is kicking the can further down the road, dominic cummings said, his special adviser, everybody probably knows who he is. just in case. who looks like he always had evil intent to me. lots would disagree and i'm sure he would. i'm sure there are a selection of people with evil intent but i always felt they were trying to go for no deal anyway. there's a lot of money to be made out of no deal and a lot of people who i would disagree with in favour of no deal so disagree with in favour of no deal soi disagree with in favour of no deal so i think the supreme court will probably find, as i put earlier, 11-0, buti probably find, as i put earlier, ii—o, but i also worry about the things said about the judges. are they going to all be rampant
11:39 pm
remainers or anything like that. we've talked about crucial weeks several times in the past few years but as the clock ticks down to october 19, it could be pretty important and decisive. let's move away from politics. the daily mail, an awful story. this is about a police watchdog who cleared five detect gives who were involved in investigating this so—called paedophile ring in westminster that never existed and a judge absolutely blasting this investigation. people will be familiar with the operation midland fiasco centred on westminster which didn't exist, the fantasist who has now been sent to prison himself in the new twist is the judge investigated originally, he's having this huge blast at the police watchdog who investigated the office rs police watchdog who investigated the officers who bungled this investigation but didn't investigate
11:40 pm
improperly. he is furious that they we re improperly. he is furious that they were not investigated properly or interviewed. these are very senior police officers in some cases one set of the national crime agencies. report be issued tomorrow to officially exonerate them and it doesn't seem that will be the end of the matter. we have a judge here hoping the home secretary will intervene. and that it shouldn't be the end of the matter. they have pushed back, the iopc, but com pletely pushed back, the iopc, but completely defended themselves this evening. if richard henriques, if his article in the daily mail is anything to go by, they would have to have a heck defence because he is absolutely slamming them. this is an organisation that was created just under two years ago to lead and manage the develop and of the police
11:41 pm
service and if his article on his findings are right, they are not leading and managing much, they couldn't find their way out of a paper bag, what is saying. more detail tomorrow. lives were so badly affected by this. you might be familiar with harvey proctor who lost his house in hisjob. familiar with harvey proctor who lost his house in his job. very damaging to him and other people. this programme very controversial. this programme very controversial. this secret database which has thousands of people being looked at for the prevent programme. liberty have got hold of it. the secret
11:42 pm
database is have got hold of it. the secret data base is about have got hold of it. the secret database is about keeping tabs on and controlling people. it's utterly chilling potentially thousands of people, including children are in secret government database so it sounds as if this might be level of gossip to suspicion. if this database is gossip to suspicion. if this data base is based, gossip to suspicion. if this database is based, as they said, i'm quite seemingly tenuous stuff. the key point is, the people who into by the prevent programme have committed no criminal offence. showing too
11:43 pm
much interest in particular subjects oi'i much interest in particular subjects on the internet, perceived as putting him at risk of becoming a terrorist but they committed no criminal offence. but hang on, their names on a database run by counterterrorism police and on the face of it, it seems wrong and who knows, with what implications. one of the key lines is after accusations, the programme had become a toxic brand which disproportionately targets muslims. toxic brand. we didn't know about this, it was a secret. it seems to have only been uncovered by the hard work of the organisation. to play devil ‘s advocate, shouldn't counterterrorism have the ability to have secrets. there are secrets and secrets. the daily telegraph, shutting london down for two weeks will alienate the public. climate protesters worn this extinction rebellion with a new campaign to get oui’ rebellion with a new campaign to get our attention, they achieve that backin our attention, they achieve that back in april, and they are going to
11:44 pm
shut down even greater parts of london. they are going to be doing all sorts of things. it's only about five paragraphs. they are shutting down to central london bridge is and it's going to affect thousands and thousands of commuters as it did last time around but a warning here from the transport secretary that it could alienate people. it probably will alienate them but a lot of people are quite sympathetic to this including, left not sympathetic necessarily to what they are going to do but the mayor, sadiq khan supports the ability to have protests so depends on what they actually do. the last thing didn't work out too well which is the fire engine with the hoses which went broke and sprayed red liquid everywhere. it suggesting that
11:45 pm
emergency care at st thomas hospital could be affected. that will alienate people. they're with every organisation, there are people who become attached to their organisation who go too far for that organisation who go too far for that organisation but it should be stressed that it's peaceful. it teaches very much the message of non—violent protest. teaches very much the message of non—viole nt protest. there teaches very much the message of non—violent protest. there will be disruption but these are people making huge sacrifices. sure, but innocent bystanders, commuters, trying to get to work or to the hospital for emergency treatment... i think they have achieved more in the six months since they came to prominence in april with the first round of protest, but in 30 years of gentle protest. there was a claimant emergency declared by parliament, parliament beefed up the climate change act tuychiev zero faster. it is because of organisations like this ——to achieve zero emissions faster. an accommodation crisis hits students. what is going on
