because it is a son and rainbows. because it is a son and showers. close to low pressure, these weather fronts move through and pep up the showers at times. affecting south wales and southern england at the start of wednesday. the showers keep on running into the western highlands of scotland. strong gusty winds. blustery across the uk but relatively few showers reaching the eastern part so the proportion of the day here stays dry. temperatures around the mid teens, feeling cooler on wednesday thanit teens, feeling cooler on wednesday than it did on tuesday. thursday, first signs of a different flavour with a weather front from the atlantic. a few showers around but not as many as we have seen. more likely to be cloud and a spell of rain northern ireland, parts of scotla nd rain northern ireland, parts of scotland and northern england and still quite windy out there. the

weather fronts still playing a part in our weather on friday. still low pressure in control but longer spells of rain. some uncertainty as to where the fronts will be setting. but they could bring longer spells of rain, and it starts to move gradually south as we go deeper into the day. quite strong winds associated as well. the picture going into the weekend, it is going to be dominated by this weather front as it stalls close to the uk. the trend we think on saturday will be for it to fade. so just a bit of battery rain with a good deal of cloud across england and wales, showers and son into scotland and northern ireland. but waiting towards a south—west this weather front. as we go into sunday, here it comes, spreading more persistent

rain more widely across the uk. still with uncertainty about where thatis still with uncertainty about where that is going to be exactly. do keep checking the forecast if you have plans for the weekend. the weather is volatile and it may not look exactly like this. a quick few words about next week and we will illustrate that with a jetstream carrying low pressure. it is going to stay unsettled. wet at times, not all the time, quite windy. if you wa nt all the time, quite windy. if you want something drier, warmer, perhaps even colder be careful what you wish for. denver colorado the temperature topping out at 26 celsius but fast forward, not very far forward to thursday, and we are expecting a high ofjust —2 and some snow as winter takes hold. what we get in the usa, my grandmother used to say, comes to the uk. but let's

just deal with what we have, autumn weather. hello. this is bbc news with clive myrie. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. a downing street source says a brexit deal is now "essentially impossible" following a phone call between borisjohnson and germany's chancellor. now borisjohnson is preparing for crunch talks with his irish counterpart later this week.

i think it's going to be very difficult to secure an agreement by next week, quite frankly. we very much want there to be a deal and i'll certainly work until the very last moment to secure that. but not at any cost. the parents of this ten—year—old boy who died after contracting hiv from contaminated blood products almost 30 years ago tell the public inquiry of their heartbreak. the impact of knife crime on its victims. more than 20,000 were injured last year alone and for many the trauma continues. a housing estate in norwich, made up of almost a hundred "ultra low—energy homes", wins the prestigious stirling prize — for the best building in britain.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are anna mikhailova, who's the deputy political editor at the daily telegraph, and the broadcaster, david davies. it is good to see you again for another helping of the papers. pretty much all of them are in. so let's start with the telegraph, leading with comments from allies of the prime minister, that a brexit deal is "essentially impossible" after a phone call between the borisjohnson and the german chancellor angela merkel. that call between the two leaders is also covered in the i. it says time is running out, to break the impasse. the same story makes the front page of the mirror. it reports that the eu is accusing number 10 of a "stupid blame game", as the prospect of a brexit breakthrough fades. borisjohnson has one last chance to keep a brexit deal alive, when he meets with the irish prime minister leo varadkar. that's according to the times. and a different story in the daily mail.

as 356,000 people sign a petition to improve dementia care, the newspaper calls on the prime minister not to ignore their demands. so, brexit dominating most of today's front pages. we are going to get some perspective from our reviewers. david, front page of the telegraph. brexit deal essentially impossible. does it feel as if this is it, we are heading for no deal was blue well, reading anna's story here, this is a very, if they may say so, tremendously well written story. laughter. imean it! well written story. laughter. i mean it! it is one of the best front pages they have ever seen in my life. go the whole hog, david. stunning journalism. it is more depressed than, say, the times, which we may get to in a moment, you

might say. if one is to believe what one has been hearing today, starting with the negative... i mean, dave phone calls, it has been, the day of phone calls, it has been, the day of phone calls, it has been, the day of phone calls, a day of recriminations —— a day of phone calls. it does seem things are as negatives as they have seemed for a significant period of time and we are running out of time. as laura kuenssberg was saying earlier today, boris is boxed in by the eu, boxed in by parliament. and, you know, is he going to be out by halloween, do or die? well, if he is not going to be do, you wonder what the other bidders. i suppose the other side to it is, the most interesting thing, i don't know whether anna thinks this tonight, we are now in brussels, they are now talking about the extension and how long might that be. does it feel as

if that is where we are heading now, anna? boris johnson has if that is where we are heading now, anna? borisjohnson has said we will live on october 31. he has also said he will stick to the law, especially the benn act, where do we go from here? —— leave. the benn act, where do we go from here? -- leave. we have a couple of crunch points coming up. to address just a little time we have, from tomorrow morning we have three days, effectively, to try and agree a deal, if this is what everyone... just three days? effectively, yes. if you assume that brussels isn't going to negotiate on the weekends, as they did last time, friday is the deadline for some kind of breakthrough. they would talk if there was something to talk about, surely. they are talking, but they are not going into the tunnel, where they go into serious negotiations. so they are negotiating, but the eu has refused to actually kind of

really get into it on this and say we are looking at the detail. they have just insisted it is not enough. where is downing street has said they have moved their position, and they have moved their position, and they have moved their position, but it doesn't seem to be enough. the argument very strongly coming out todayis argument very strongly coming out today is this huge frustration that the benn act, which is what mps have passed to force boris johnson the benn act, which is what mps have passed to force borisjohnson to seek an extension, to write this letter, as you mentioned, if they cannot agree a deal by next saturday. they think that has com pletely saturday. they think that has completely changed our brussels approaches this whole thing. i had someone in downing street today say, you know, the way brussels started talking to us immediately shifted when they heard about the benn act. whether or not that's true, what we know is, right now, we are in a war of words and each side doesn't want to be left. and the fact is the

european union would contradict pretty much everything you have just said. that set. the european union is pretty clear it has done a deal with britain —— that set. it was called mrs may's deal. i'd recall many deals done between one country and other countries come in this case a group of 27. don't forget what we are saying here, one country is right, 27 countries are wrong, right? so that is what you are really dealing with in this situation. and the fact is our parliament rejected three times mrs may's deal. and that is the crux of the matter. that is the crux. so if there's going to be a deal they be movement, surely, on the part of the european union because this suggestion seems to be this deal that boris johnson suggestion seems to be this deal that borisjohnson has could get through parliament —— there will be

movement. are still asked this question about a key to the boris deal, as it is at the moment, is this matter, it has to be approved by the northern ireland parliament every four years, and by the way the northern ireland parliament doesn't exist at the moment and has existed for several years, to get around that? -- isil for several years, to get around that? —— isil ask. for several years, to get around that? -- isil ask. e7 the star, practically day one in parliament that he will do everything to get stormont back on track ——he said at the start. 0ne analyst, we should go back to this deal that theresa may negotiator, there is no point looking back and talking counterfactual like that. but equally what boris johnson is presenting now, if it had been presented at the very start, could have been a basis to negotiate. but the fact that we did arrive at the backstop, we arrived at all that with the withdrawal agreement really

does, in this crunch point, it looks like there is not a huge amount of political will at the moment there to change. you know, when you get 768 word memos saying we are going to clog up europe and we are only going to make trade deals with those who can be bothered to talk to us and those who have been obstructive will be at the bottom, that doesn't really help. crosstalk. that is dumb, isn't it, putting that out there? how does that help the negotiation? first of all, the thing mentioned in that memo, saying that certain countries, the ones who support an extension will be bottom of the pile, they said, and this is a memo that has been widely linked to dominic cummings, the prime minister ‘s chief of staff. he did not say trade deals, he said cooperation. cooperation implies a security as well as all kinds of other cooperation. that is something

that really got heated in cabinet. sojulian that really got heated in cabinet. so julian smith, the that really got heated in cabinet. sojulian smith, the northern ireland secretary, got extremely concerns and raise it with the prime minister today. you are in a very different ballpark. they have always insisted that security and police cooperation would be that whatever happens. the memos coming out in the past 2a hours a very aggressive, very different to what we normally get... and they haven't worked. the memos are messages to brussels. we will see in the next three days.l stupid blame game, according to donald tusk. we go onto the times. johnson gets last chance to keep brexit alive. the times has taken up a more domestic node and is focusing ona a more domestic node and is focusing on a conversation borisjohnson had at the end of the day with leo varadkar —— optimistic note. they

will keep talking and meet again at the end of the week in dublin. that is really going to be, it looks like a make or break moment. there is a different shift from this morning where he came out of the angela merkel phone call and a downing street source immediately put out this extremely bullish moment where they said angela merkel claim things that the german side immediately said she didn't. it is bizarre. if the times is right, david, and there is room for manoeuvre, there is the possibility that something could give by the end of the week, what do you think that could possibly be? well, that is the issue. you are trying to satisfy this... i mean, boris up to this point appears absolutely, as i said earlier, to have got the numbers with the help of the dup to get his current proposal through. but sometimes you

can geta proposal through. but sometimes you can get a compromise with one group, but it will blow up the other group. i think it will be very interesting if what this is really all about is not getting a deal by the 31st of october, immediately calling a general election, going into that election and saying we're going to leave, you give us the majority we are to leave immediately, right, if that's what it's really about... for example, julian smith are you mentioned earlier, the northern ireland secretary, is quoted in this time story as saying "no deal would be disastrous for the union". —— times story. i scotland this weekend... on your farm. your grouse farm. i would not no way grouse farm

if they saw it. laughter. the idea of that, of seeing what they saw in scotland, in edinburgh, they saw in scotland, in edinburgh, they had a huge demonstration for independence in scotland, in the rain, a lot of rain on saturday lunchtime on saturday afternoon, which i thought was underreported elsewhere in the united kingdom. last week the leader of plaid cymru it was talking about and independence referendum in wales within five years. so we are talking about the union and what is the real fear in northern ireland? the end product of all this could be still greater pressure for one ireland. again. yeah absolutely. we go to the front page of the ft. johnson urges radtke to keep talking is brexit deal hopes fade. a similar take —— leo varadkar. you are the doom—monger among all this front pages. no, there is hope, anna. the

financial times, apparently, johnson urges leo varadkar to keep talking as hopes fade for a deal. does that look feasible? it is similar to what normally comes out. the german side, they usually have a cordial conversation. that is the standard and what was remarkable and definitely worth mentioning a lot is that this readout from angela merkel saying a deal is virtually impossible now. how downing street is positioning itself within the framework of this week and this month and brexit is actually looking ahead towards an election. they are

in campaign mode. this is electioneering. is this the same issue that david cameron faced and issue that david cameron faced and is the reason many people believe he called the referendum. it is all about dealing with the people slightly to the right of you and thatis slightly to the right of you and that is the brexit party. you can be excused for thinking that. but i took from this ft story was the reaction of the business and financial world, very much so, still asleep to its lowest level against the euro and another story today that the bbc has been running about the nation's that and the institute from fiscal studies say it will reach its highest level for half a century. whether that is project vr,

as some will say it is, there is clearly real concern in the business community and some would also say the leader of the farmers union is very strong at the moment about concerns very strong at the moment about concerns about food, if we get to know deal, and michael gove is still confirming there will be a few bumps along the road... we will see how big the bumps. i want powered for every time a minister says a bump in the road. we will mercifully leave a brexit and have a look at this. the raw number 10 cannot ignore. 356,000 sign the petition. this is the daily mail on its campaign to reform social care which is a crisis that

has not been addressed by government after government. we were promised a social care green paper over a year ago and we have not had anything. that is just a blueprint, ago and we have not had anything. that isjust a blueprint, a ago and we have not had anything. that is just a blueprint, a starting point and we have not anything close toa point and we have not anything close to a serious national policy and, frankly, this is an issue that will be far more pertinent than even brexit to a lot of people. be far more pertinent than even brexit to a lot of peoplelj be far more pertinent than even brexit to a lot of people. i think this is the danger for all the political parties that want to get toa political parties that want to get to a general election, which of course the catalyst for it will be brexit, but these other issues will have an unpredictable part to play and another thing that is quite interesting is that, it does not seem to matter how many opinion polls get it wrong on election night in recent years, we still have opinion polls, the latest opinion

poll says x, y, z. and politicians acting on those polls. finally, the back page of the guardian. andy murray in fine form although he lost his latest match, but he will compete in the australian open at the end of the year. england will walk off if faced with racist abuse says abraham. walk off if faced with racist abuse says abra ham. that walk off if faced with racist abuse says abraham. that feels like a good idea, if players are being abused in the field of play. yes, i think it is important to send that single and considering the profile of an international game like that, i think, as we talked about earlier, the politics of football and sport in general, is that much more than just for people ‘s entertainment. it has to send certain messages and plays standing up for each other is

absolutely important. what about the role governing bodies? very clearly, this is something whose time has come, belatedly, but in my own opinion is absolutely right. we went through a stage where we were not convinced european governing bodies, let alone fifa, would support black players walking off in any circumstances where abuse happened... i now think the time has changed. even though there is a protocol which, if our players in the czech republic on friday night, in bulgaria next tuesday, in a helpful stadium because the bulgarians have had other issues which have caused the closure of theirgrounds, i which have caused the closure of their grounds, i have to say, on friday night, the game is going ahead in the czech republic in

prague, against the advice of some english police officers who think to play a match on friday night, not because of racism, is unwise. we will leave it there. it has been great having you to look at some of the stories. thank you so much for your insight, invaluable. 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. relive the magic! laughter. a big thank you to my guests this evening, anna and david. but that's all from us, and good night. good evening, im austin halewood with your latest sports news. england's women scraped

their way to a much needed victory over portugal tonight. head coach phil neville said that it was a must—win game before kick—off, after his team had failed to win in all 5 of their matches since this summer's world cup. but, in the end, a win is a win. adam wild reports. this may have beenjust this may have been just a friendly but for england the trip to portugal wasn't without its pressure. phil neville putting a brave face on things. the result have been poor of late and england needed improvement. in the first half, they could not quite stretch to that. five games without a win, england desperate for inspiration. the best of their first love chances cleared off the portugal line. not a performance to ease that pressure. the second half did bring your chances but still england unable to take them. jodie

taylor on more than one occasion lacking the finish. what england needed was some like and it was that, the portugal keeper providing it. a farcical fumble finally allowing england to take the lead. it was one they clung on to, although only just. here it was one they clung on to, although onlyjust. here the ball somehow staying out. at last, and england when. —— win. earlier wales's euro 2021 qualifying campaign had a major boost after they beat belarus. rachel rowe scored the only goal of the game, less than 10 minutes from time — in herfirst game back from a year—long injury lay—off. the win means that wales stay second in group c simone biles has become the most succesful female gymnast

in world championship history, after the usa won the team event in stuttgart. biles posted the best individual scores on the vault, beam and on the floor, to see the us win their 5th consecutive team crown at the world championships. the gold brings biles' individual medal tally up to 21. it was not our best meet but it shows the strength that we have that we still came out on top even after a couple. i have wrote so hard to get where i am into cim improving after a ll get where i am into cim improving after all that is just an honour to represent the country. —— still improving. there were more positive signs for andy murray as he continues his recovery from hip surgery earlier this year. he pushed world number 12 fabio fognini all the way in the second round of the shanghai masters. after losing the opening set on a tie break, he came back to win the second 6—2. a tight decider saw an angry murray

tell fognini to "shut up" as he failed to serve out for victory. his defeat comes on the day, australian open organisers announced that he'll make his grand slam return at the tournament injanuary. and it's a huge day tomorrow for two home nations at the rugby world cup tomorrow. wales will reach the quarter—finals if they beat fiji, while scotland cannot afford to lose their match against russia. the scots will be looking for a bonus point win, before they head to yokohama for theirfinal pool game against japan, where they'll have to beat the hosts. i have played enough of these games where if you tried to score four tries before you score one, you get a bit of trouble. we are not thinking about that early on. if we score one that may be the case but we cannot score the fourth until we score the first. we need to back our skills, write them down and we

believe our fitness will be superior to them. but that's all your sport for now. lots of showers come with some heavy and thundering. there will be some sunshine as well. blood pressure continuing to dominate in the next few days. bands of showers spreading from west to east. heavy thundery ones in southern england through the morning, perhaps lusting onto the afternoon. plenty of showers in western scotland. lengthy sunny spells through central and eastern areas although temperatures are notched down to what we had on tuesday. lots of showers, blustery, rattling through the country on wednesday night. temperatures depend to 7— wednesday night. temperatures depend to 7- 10

wednesday night. temperatures depend to 7— 10 degrees in eastern areas. through thursday and friday, it stays unsettled with longer spells of rain in places. it will remain windy. temperatures on the mild side.
