11:30 pm
‘ south ‘south across south across the ‘south across the uk, maybe a further south across the uk, maybe a longer spell of downpours, theyjust start to pick up the winds as well so we start to pick up the winds as well so we just keep following our thursday aggressors. it may be a little different compared with this. temperatures again mostly the mid—teens. they know, temperatures are not changing very much the foreseeable. the pattern here does look different as we go into friday. for a start, there is a little bulge in the isobars, briefly pressure builds, but another area of low pressure takes over, that could bring another prolonged spell of heavy rain to the north—west of the uk. there is still something to play for in the position of this as we look to friday, with cows and places around that. a trailing weather fronts of the south, it looks like it's going to hang on into the weekend. this is how it shapes up into saturday. this weather front could well be slow—moving across parts of england in one. not looking at showers, but cloud and outbreaks of rain, but again some uncertainty about the position of this so far out, so it may not be sitting
11:31 pm
exactly here. we will keep you updated on that. elsewhere, it looks like the further north you are, it is sunshine and showers again. and just to give you a flavour of what happens for part two of the weekend into the start of next week, there is one area of low pressure moving, and another one is poised to come backin and another one is poised to come back in from the atlantic. what does that mean? it means it is staying u nsettled. that mean? it means it is staying unsettled. so, for the weekend, and it looks like into next week as well, it will be wet at times. remember, it's not all the time, blustery conditions, and occasional sunshine. if we are going to move from this type of autumn weather, we will let you know as soon as there is any sign of it.
11:32 pm
hello, this is bbc news with rachel schofield.
11:33 pm
we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines: new figures show knife crime offences in england and wales have increased by two—thirds. what's going on out there? i hope it'sjust a blip. i worry there's a change in attitude towards knife injury. following the death of this teenager in a road accident, in northamptonshire, the uk calls on the us to waive the diplomatic immunity of the american woman who's the main suspect. the businesswoman alleged to have been offered favours by borisjohnson, when he was mayor of london, refuses to deny they had an affair. as american troops withdraw from northern syria, the us‘s main allies in the fight against the islamic state group, the kurds, say they've been stabbed in the back by president trump. and more than 200 arrests in central london, as climate activists take to the streets, as part of a worldwide protest,
11:34 pm
against global warming. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are broadcaster, john kampfner, and deputy political editor of the spectator, katy balls. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. in the telegraph, the internet giants cashing in on children's misery, with a surge in the number being treated for addiction to online gaming by the nhs. leading the financial times, a warning from hmrc that customs paperwork could cost businesses up to £15 billion, in the event of a no—deal brexit. in the guardian, a no—deal brexit could raise public debt to a 50—year—high,
11:35 pm
according to a leading expert in public finances. the times leads with the us being accused of an act of betrayal, refusing to waive the diplomatic immunity of an envoy‘s wife, who fled britain after the crash that killed a 19—year—old man. more on that in the mirror, revealing that the woman involved has a previous driving conviction in the states. the metro leads with pole dancing, the prime minister and me — that's the interview withjennifer arcuri, who said borisjohnson visited her flat to see the pole in her living room, but refused to answer if she and the prime minister had an affair. you are saying some things and we will come to brexit because we have to do that every night pretty much. in the mail, a dreadful story about this young man who has been killed near and raf base in north hampshire
11:36 pm
and the chief suspect potentially going to the us. to place 27th of august in the evening. 19—year—old harry dunn was on his motorbike and anne sacoolas, the wife of a military attache insecurity at the raf base is alleged to have driven into him. alongside the personal tragedy of any such accident is the really important dramatic precedent of immunity which is designed to ensure that, if there is a big political, military bus stop between countries, that the diplomats have immunity and do what they like and go where they like and leave as they please. it has been taken around the
11:37 pm
world diplomats now or in recent yea rs, to world diplomats now or in recent years, to mean they cant get up to anything or any crimes or misdemeanours scot—free. where this is particularly salient is, there i introduced the brexit term, in a post brexit landscape, britain will be even more dependent on the united states tha n be even more dependent on the united states than we have already. a special relationship. and this has made it very difficult for the government because it has been under enormous pressure to ask the white house and state department to intervene. they have done it now and whether it will produce a woman coming back to face justice is another matter. the daily mail taking very much the human angle, a plea from harry's mother to the
11:38 pm
woman in question to come back and face police questions but the times moving this onto a bit more of a wider issue around diplomacy. relations between the uk and the us. regardless of brexit, we have a special relationship and this present a problem for government but, at the same time, they are taking quite a strong stance here. it is not necessarily they will get the result is government bond. you hearin the result is government bond. you hear in this report, dominic raabe has brought it up to the us and batted out to the uk and that did not go exactly as it plan and he moved on to mike pence and if they do not get any response, to get this woman back to answer question which is what they want, then boris johnson might ring up donald trump
11:39 pm
directly. that should be a conversation going on at this issue when you look at the relationship. often you do get waivers. both sides have examples where the uk has ditched diplomatic immunity because of special circumstances and i think the fact and figures in government saying this is a misuse of diplomatic immunity meant they are presenting to the us government examples where they have helped the us government out to see how they respond. it does not mean the us will bite on it but i think we are heading to difficult relations under this issue and probably already there if you look at the report. this issue and probably already there if you look at the reportm has been abused by countries all the time everywhere. i remember several yea rs time everywhere. i remember several years ago, on a completely different level, the government was getting exasperated over unpaid parking fines that make yes! you start at
11:40 pm
that niggardly, petty level and then you get to issues of death, issues of fraud and being involved in organised crime and corruption and all this sort of stuff and it is a problem because you do need the principle of immunity but also it is not beyond the weight of the us although it's nearly impossible to navigate, to be to differentiate between something that is diplomatic, state to state, and do something where somebody has just been caught red—handed in doing something against the law. meanwhile, the daily mirror, like many of the tablets, is going and doing their homework, if you want to put it that way, getting more information about this woman in question. what they want is for her
11:41 pm
to come and answer questions but, in the meantime, the mirror is reporting that the us diplomat's wife who fled was fine for poor driving. until she answers questions we do not know her side of the story. clearly the family a very upset. a really troubling situation. another story with some great pictures, the whole extinction rebellion protest. they have this really dynamic shot of a clown taken away, looking whether he is surprised or his face is surprised but it shows how dramatic this is getting. a man spreading arrestee. it looks someone close to whitehall, the department of culture and number
11:42 pm
10 and the whole of westminster and adjacent areas blocked to traffic today, which wasn't that objective. at the same time, police were criticised in some quarters last time for being quite... giving too much of a light touch to the extinction rebellion when they were occupying waterloo bridge and marble arch and oxford street and other venues, have been tougher, according to the papers. more than 270 arrests only on day one. but it will not stop them and it will go on for two weeks and it is taking place in other cities around the world and then we have the question we were talking about a bit in the last segment around the two levels — the inconvenience and the arrests and to what degree is that having an effect in national governments and the un.
11:43 pm
on the independent, another amazing picture. some physical theatre group protesting and it is capturing these shots and making the papers it is a question as to whether they make their way into policy changes. an at what level. that carbon emission by 2025 and people who support get into the target very quickly think that thatis the target very quickly think that that is potentially to ambitious. you would need to get rid of your boiler, limit flight but what they are doing, as we are proving right now, is talking about the environment and we have seen lots of the major party pushing their credentials. the conservatives have been doing it. labourand credentials. the conservatives have been doing it. labour and the credentials. the conservatives have been doing it. labourand the lib dems had it at the top of their co nfe re nce dems had it at the top of their conference agenda. i do think that, regardless of what we end up with as
11:44 pm
net emission goal, this is pushing it forward and putting pressure on the various parties to come up with something so even if they do not get exactly what they want that and we think there will be demonstrations in months to come —, they may succeed in getting parties to move. the focus and it is global. it led to symbolically or more than symbolically by greta thunberg who absolutely captivated the united nations and there was that amazing picture of donald trump walking through and she giving him the eye so she has, as with these things, galvanised in a way that pale stale politicians could never have done.
11:45 pm
the key is going to be on the ongoing rounds of climate change talks and the degree to which countries move because the temptation for all countries is i was to say, we are doing our bit, the other ones are not and look at the other ones are not and look at the emerging powers, china and india. it is definitely notjust among young people, among older people as well, it is rocketing up as the number one or one of the most important policy items in people's personal agendas. two weeks of protests planned so a lot more headlines on this. a lot more delays... we have been trying to get you to come by bike. it is time for our daily days of brexit. —— dose. this in theory should be that we,
11:46 pm
where boris pushes his brexit deal. conversations are happening, but i'd don't think they're leading to a deal. there are certain stumbling blocks. it seems difficult to overcome. the expresses reporting on boris johnson's overcome. the expresses reporting on borisjohnson's message to the eu, saying if they don't take them up on this deal, they are heading for no deals that i think very few members of government think we are heading to know deal on october 3! and that is because ultimately parliament has passed legislation, is the law that the government has to seek an article 50 extension. now, they might have a clever way around it, but i think whatever they come up with would still be contested. boris johnson is saying no deal, but i think there is scepticism about how you get there. and it's a conflation of not know deal yet, in other words, if he is forced through
11:47 pm
gritted teeth to request an extension, which he will be given, then he will do everything in his power to call an election because the opinion polls have consistently put the conservatives ahead of an ailing labor party, and lib dems, which could split the remain vote. so if you get the election, he would be confident he would be returned with a sizeable majority that would allow him either to carve a that he could get through parliament and probably add pressure on europe, or no deal, which i think at that point, he would feel very confident that there would be nothing stopping him. so we could be just delaying no deals for three months into the end of january. deals for three months into the end ofjanuary. and this point about no dealfor three months, you look to see what the opposition parties are doing, they all seem to have run scared at this stage and keep
11:48 pm
pushing it back and back and back. and some called them the rebel alliance, some call them the remain alliance, some call them the remain alliance, they are saying we don't wa nt alliance, they are saying we don't wantan alliance, they are saying we don't want an election in still an article 50 extension has been granted, at least sort. —— saught was that people are saying, are they ever going to let us have an election? there are senior mps in quite a few parties that would prefer to have a second referendum before a general election. so what is going to happen in this group?! election. so what is going to happen in this group? i struggle to see how they would agree on a second referendum and the question. in the meantime, the economists and statisticians are going to work in the guardian. no doubt brexit would raise public debt to a 50 year high.
11:49 pm
this is some good, solid economic numbercrunching. this is the guardian story, based on how the government would have to offset the damage caused by no deal by emergency tax cuts, one assumes, for individuals, companies and public spending. there have been a lot of public spending pledges in the last couple of weeks, and that would obviously reverse a lot of the debt reduction that cameron and osborne have done in the early part of this decade. but in a way, brexit as we saw in the 2016 referendum, economic messaging doesn't seem to get through. and if the remain cam, if there is a second referendum, did try this kind of very earnest economic language. it really won't cut through. and you'll get a lot of project fear, and you had thejo durie forecast, the dossier woods george osborne represented ——
11:50 pm
treasury forecast. the impact of that result coming through, i think people are sceptical, it is difficult to see how you position it, but clearly not all plain sailing. they will have to go for a passionate pro— european argument, which they have been really relu cta nt which they have been really reluctant to do so and polls seem to suggest that does play well and numbers are shifting, but the brits always seem to be scared to make the case. one man who is not scared to put himself out there is latimer putin, on the ft we have a picture of him relaxing on top of a mountain. take a look, john. i spent several years mountain. take a look, john. i spent several yea rs as mountain. take a look, john. i spent several years as a correspondent in moscow and followed russia very closely. it is and is an extraordinary figure, he is very much a 21st—century authoritarian, which is very different to a
11:51 pm
20th—century dictator. he knows how to press all the right marketing media buttons, certainly to a particular russian audience. that has always been a company —— accompanied by extraordinarily posed holiday snaps, riding barechested, saving wheat in wheat fields —— scything, he would outdo a page three model, he is usually topless. this one is a bit bizarre. is a bit stupid, bit homes. he is looking a bit -- stupid, bit homes. he is looking a bit —— stooped, a bit hunched. but in this one he does look 67, he is showing his age. are you thinking we should bring back the barechested horse back? that may be what the papers are thinking.
11:52 pm
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, john kampfner and katy balls. that is it from us. goodnight. hello, good evening. there's a new head coach of english cricket. trevor bayliss will be replaced. working now with the bowlers, having been a successful coach with ethics. the england wicketkeeper jos been a successful coach with ethics. the england wicketkeeperjos buttler has already given his thumbs up to the appointment. -- with ethics. chris has been in and around the group for chris has been in and around the groupfora chris has been in and around the group for a while, so he can build on the success that, you know, the one—day team, and the test team to
11:53 pm
improve now as well. and i think having had someone who has been involved with the coach, it's a nice continuation, but someone who has got very strong views and has obviously had successes as head coach with essex. i'm excited for him and look forward to working with him. andy murray has continued his singles comeback. andy murray's through to the second round of the shanghai masters after coming from behind to beat juan ignacio londero. the win means he'll climb inside the world's top 250. he reached his first singles quarterfinal in more than a year at the china open last week. tottenham have confirmed their captain and goalkeeper hugo louise won't return to training with the club until next year. —— lloris. lloris has gone through further assessment this morning. although surgery won't be required, he will undergo a period
11:54 pm
of rest and rehabilitation. the match united striker marcus rashford has used social media to apologise for the club was my poor form. united lost in newcastle yesterday, extending their worst start to really system to 30 years. he said on twitter, you can't hide in football in the last few weeks simply haven't been good enough. as a united fan myself, that hurts. you deserve better. we need to improve and that is our sole focus as a club. united is only two points of the relegation zone. you might have not heard much about typhoon hagibis, but it is approaching the rugby world cup. a number of teams need to reach the quarterfinals.
11:55 pm
a draw will be provided in the event ofa a draw will be provided in the event of a typhoon. i believe there is a contingency plan in place but i think it's obvious, 2a hours, we just need to get on with our dayjob and best prepare every single day and best prepare every single day and we'll see what comes about. some good news this evening for a british gymnastics, the men's team have matched the feet of the women's team and sealed their team's plays that next yea r‘s tokyo and sealed their team's plays that next year's tokyo olympics. they did it by qualifying for the final in stuttgart, max whitlock also top pommel standings. third world title on that. (applause) that was our main task coming in here, qualify a four man seem to tokyo. there were a couple of mistakes that we can improve on as well, but i think that he picked up as well, but i think that he picked up so well. i think we should be also proud, we made so many personal best, but the next aim is the team
11:56 pm
final. the men's on wednesday. that's all for sport for now. you can find all of the news stories on our website. that's all for me, for now, goodbye. lots of showers putting in from the west, some of them will be quite happy as well. but in between those hours there would be some good spells of sunshine, actually, some areas in quite a bit of sunshine, particularly across the east. low pressure always nearby near the north of the uk, tightly packed isobars make north of the uk, tightly packed isoba rs make it north of the uk, tightly packed isobars make it windy, and we will have bands of showers, some of them could be quite heavy in bunbury with hail mixed in, too. you will notice it isn't going to be too cold, we will have our air source of the atla ntic to will have our air source of the atlantic to original badges by day, and that should keep the fog and frost at bay by night. lots of showers in the west will work their
