the cold into northern ireland, into the cold air. temperatures only 8 degrees in belfast and newcastle. my order in southern parts of england where it is not quite so wet but it will be windy later on in the day. overnight, the winds will probably ease as you can see, we're left with this weather front stuck across england and wales, this conveyor belt of thick cloud and outbreaks of rain which will continue into saturday. with the heaviest of rain over the hills of wales and north—west england, there could be some local flooding by the end of saturday. by then, as much as 100 millimetres of rain. south—eastern areas not seen much rain during the day was the mildest of all. elsewhere, turning coolerfrom the north. when we eventually see the back of that rain, from the south or east of england on saturday night, we will all get into that cooler air drawn down from the north and there will be some showers. it looks like most of the showers will get pushed down into northern ireland, swept down into northern ireland, swept down across scotland and northern england and north wales. to the south, probably dry in sunshine this
11:31 pm
time but not very warm. temperatures 12 or13, time but not very warm. temperatures 12 or 13, but it will be cooler further north and may be a touch wintering over the very tops of the high ground in scotland. looking further ahead, there is our area of high pressure, sitting to the west, which is why we are drawing down this colder air on a northerly wind. whilst the high pressure will be close by, we also have low pressure developing over iberia. that will strengthen the winds through the english channel and around the top of this area of high pressure, we may find some low pressure areas moving in and around the middle part of the week to bring some rain into scotla nd of the week to bring some rain into scotland and northern ireland. no doubt the details will change, but it looks like we will stay on the colder side. temperatures 8—11, some sunshine, generally dry but where we have clear skies overnight, there may be some frost around as well. goodbye. hello, this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow
11:32 pm
morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. dramatic scenes at westminster as mps for the first time approve a brexit deal but then reject the proposed timetable, halting its progress through the commons. one way or another, we will leave the eu with this deal to which this house has just given its assent. in a packed house, labour'sjeremy corbyn underlined the opposition of so many mps to the time allocated for debate. tonight, the house has refused to be bounced into debating a hugely significant piece of legislation injust two days. a senior us diplomat tells donald trump's impeachment inquiry he'd been told the president did want to give aid to ukraine in return fordirt on a democratic party rival.
11:33 pm
we report from north—eastern syria on the victims of the fighting between turkish forces and the kurds. and a new drug that could slow down alzheimer's disease. early tests by a us company are promising. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejohn stevens, the deputy political editor of the daily mail, and political writer and academic maya goodfellow. most of tomorrow's front pages are now in. let's start with the financial times, and it leads with those crunch brexit votes in which borisjohnson won the backing of mps for his deal,
11:34 pm
but was defied over his timetable. brexit is in purgatory, roars the telegraph, quoting jacob rees—mogg, the leader of the house, following those votes by mps. "yeah but no but." that's the headline in the sun as the government both wins and loses those two votes in quick succession. the daily mail celebrates boris johnson's victory in the vote on his deal, but says mps turned triumph into disaster by forcing him to put it on hold. the metro says that, after hitting the pause button on his brexit legislation, the prime minister will now ask the eu how it wants to proceed. as mps reject boris johnson's brexit deadline, the european council president, donald tusk, suggested he would recommend a delay. that's in the guardian. the prime minister's do—or—die pledge to deliver brexit by halloween is in tatters — so says the i, which cites a number
11:35 pm
10 source as saying an election is the only way forward. and a different story in the times. it reports on a new drug for alzheimer's disease which, it says, doctors are welcoming as a "turning point" in the treatment of the condition. so, brexit unsurprisingly dominating most of the front pages. let's see what our reviewers make of it all. let's start with that rule on the front page of the telegraph, brexit and purgatory. what we have seen today happening in the commons is the second stage of the brexit bill passing through parliament with the majority of mps voting for it, but then a few minutes later the government's plans to make it so its programme motion which would mean the bill would only get a short amount of time in the commons, three days, not passing, so there is this
11:36 pm
tension with what is happening in terms of the brexit bill passing through to the next stage. it has passed through to the next stage, the committee stage of for them to be scrutinised. the government do not have their way in terms of the timetables of this is where the language of purgatory is being used, it has stalled because the government have not got their way. and we thought we had some hope there. we have been going round in circles on brexit for months. a lot of people out there in the country just think, finally we were getting somewhere, they voted for this deal three times mps rejected theresa may's deal, finally they voted for boris 20's deal, then a few minutes later they say, we want to slow it down, and stopping borisjohnson taking us out of the eu next week on
11:37 pm
that deadline. how long do you think the journey will be? there were seven sins and plan to's inferno! everyone is saying, what next? what next for dependent of the response from the eu. borisjohnson had to send this letter on saturday to ask foran send this letter on saturday to ask for an extension, and it depends on whether they give a longer or shorter extension because now there are sounds that it is possible a bill might be able to pass through. the problem for the government is, evenif the problem for the government is, even if the extension is given as short so they are happy to proceed with the bill, if this next stage means more scrutiny, because they cannot rush it through there where they wanted to, and it also means potential amendments, and the risk from the government's perspective is whether amendments come before the house that they do not want to pass, it isa house that they do not want to pass,
11:38 pm
it is a gamble they may take, because they don't think there are the numbers for a second referendum included in there, or something to do with the customs union that they don't want to happen that would change what this bill would look like, but if the longer extension is given there is a chance the government will go for a general election because they will say, we do not want this any longer. let's turn to the daily mail, interesting choice of words there. this lot, john. choice of words there. this lot, john. that is how most people feel, this lot not voting for deals, rejecting a second referendum, or options they voted down, they finally both one and then say it is happening too quick. it is also a huge boost for boris johnson. happening too quick. it is also a huge boost for borisjohnson. he will be disappointed not to have had that time to get the legislation through, but he has delivered a deal, a lot of people a few weeks ago was saying it was impossible to renegotiate a deal that theresa may had agreed in brussels, he has done
11:39 pm
that, and now he is able to bring it back and get a majority of mps that, and now he is able to bring it back and get a majority of mp5 for it in parliament and i think number 10 will be happy tonight. they have got two scenarios, i'd they try to get this deal through with slower pace that parliament is saying it will not get through quickly, did they try again and then try for election in the new year? or do they try in election i and stay, even though we have not managed to get a brexit deal, we tried our hardest, labour stopped us getting it through? and then do they get a deal through? and then do they get a deal through with extra mps? before we move on, from an academic point of view, how on earth is all this narrative and the twists and turns being studied by political students, for example? it is notjust students in politics but what the law. if you look back at the original attempt to provoke parliament, but this is
11:40 pm
doing is highlighting some of the problems with the uk lack of constitutional written constitution, and something a lot of law students will take over, but also this tension between what happened today, so mps voting for a bill and then the technical ins and outs of the fa ct the technical ins and outs of the fact that those same mps said, we don't want to just rush this through. what the government will be saying is, you had a lot of time to talk about brexit, why don't you wa nt to talk about brexit, why don't you want to see this through? but what people take of is the fact that mps who voted for the villain agreed with the bill say they do not agree with the bill say they do not agree with the bill say they do not agree with the idea of timetabling. so the minutiae and the ins and outs of how parliament is operating it interesting for people to study in this moment in this idea actually government from one perspective is trying to avoid scrutiny with this short timetabling. we said it is historic. let's turn to the front of
11:41 pm
the daily mirror. maybe this is a turning point for brexit. but it is that... turning point for brexit. but it is that. . . the turning point for brexit. but it is that... the mirror is going all out oi'i that... the mirror is going all out on this halloween theme, pm's brexit horror, then boris johnson on this halloween theme, pm's brexit horror, then borisjohnson does not stand a ghost of a chance of leaving the eu on halloween! i am surprised we have not got borisjohnson in a pumpkin! they are going on the negative, saying it is a horror for borisjohnson. i think downing street will not be too miserable. if we do have an election, we will see the tag line is the tory party will use, they are already putting up pictures ofjeremy corbyn on social media with the words dither and delay behind him, and i think they have a strong message there, you voted for brexit, you to get it done, borisjohnson has achieved a deal, did what many people thought
11:42 pm
he couldn't, and the labour party have stopped him being able to take that through the house in time for that through the house in time for that deadline. so how does he get support for a general election? there are a few things in the mix about who he has spoken to in the general election pitch. there will be scrutiny about what has happened. the opposition parties will say things about the attempt to hold power in the executive and avoid scrutiny through parliament, but i also think it will be interesting to see what will happen in a general election and whether it would just be about brexit. we are in a different place now from 2017 but theresa may in that last election try to make it all about brexit, and that did not work so well for her. a lot has changed since then if we have more movement on brexit the conservatives only making this about brexit and trying to frame in this particular way, people will not be happy with this deal, this will not
11:43 pm
please everyone in the country, what will they have to say about the past nine years of people like boris johnson involved in government with that record? johnson involved in government with that record ? is johnson involved in government with that record? is what some of the opposition parties will go after. borisjohnson was saying, on the front page of the metro, we will discuss the european position, saying, i need to talk to eu leaders who are saying donald tusk, there will be an extension. donald tusk saying there will be an extension. borisjohnson was. the saying there will be an extension. boris johnson was. the weekend to send a letter asking for an extension until the end ofjanuary but it sounds like some people and the eu will not be happy with that, particularly emmanuel macron, saying thatis particularly emmanuel macron, saying that is too long and pressuring behind the scenes to be shorter. what we could actually see is what has been dubbed a flex extension, a longer period, but if borisjohnson manages to get that deal through in
11:44 pm
parliament in the intervening period that could be cut short and we could get out early. they have had their first yes! i don't want to put money on anything at this stage, but there isa on anything at this stage, but there is a good chance that an extension will be granted, it is just about the length of the extension. we can expect to hear on sunday or monday ideas about what that might look like. from the eu's perspective the last thing they want to do is be seen to be in any way getting involved in uk politics in a way that people... they might be framed as unhelpful. it is a difficult position. the extension asked for is three months, and it is about how they respond to that and whether they respond to that and whether they react to this bill passing through to the next stage by saying, is such a long extension needed? it will determine what happens next. the eu just want this deal to go
11:45 pm
through now. they are fed up with having all the special summits and extensions. they will do what they think is most likely to finally get this deal through parliament. if you have a longer extension until the end of january, you have a longer extension until the end ofjanuary, you take the pressure of mps, then they start going through this bill in all sorts of detail, start nibbling about small things, the pressure is off for them to get it done, but if you get is sure to extension, a few weeks, the mp5 want to get this done. let's turn to our final brexit front page. i think you can do a better impersonation than i did! it is the sum's headline, it sums up, doesn't it? it does, parliament finally saying yes then no to that sped up timetable. the problem for the government is it is the first yes. it will be spun as a victory
11:46 pm
and it is the first time that a bill withdrawal agreement has been passed through to the next stage but there is still a problem for the government about that scrutiny and now that it will happen, time for mps to pick over. a lawyer tweeted earlier today, saying, i have read through the whole text and even i have not had time to digest all of this because the way that this works in terms of bills already is incredibly complex to understand and follow it. mps will have time to scrutinise it and what that will mean for amendments and mps agreeing to it and that final vote when it goes to the next stage remains to be seen. who do you think a general election would be good for?” seen. who do you think a general election would be good for? i think it would be good for the tories. labour were hoping they would go into a labour were hoping they would go intoa campaign, labour were hoping they would go into a campaign, if you vote for borisjohnson there is into a campaign, if you vote for boris johnson there is a risk for no deal, he has managed to take no deal of the table. the government will
11:47 pm
frame it as the people versus parliament but they have an issue about where they will win votes on what the brexit party means for them and other issues beyond brexit. it is almost impossible to mention that this stage but they need to speak to the country on other issues. the financial times is our penultimate front page, basing drawers that plan to replace the interim leader in hong kong. a lot of discussion about what will happen. this could be read as china and beijing wanting to put as china and beijing wanting to put a damper on these protests that have been going on for five a damper on these protests that have been going on forfive months. it is powerful to see a lot of those protesters out on the streets and there is discussion around carrie lam would be due to go in 2022. someone in the interim to hold that place? there is discussion around that and also about carrie lam saying whether she would stand down because of the protests and how she
11:48 pm
has engaged with some of that protests, and it was her original plan that sparked the protests. they are about much more than that. but she has almost become the symbolic figure in terms of how people may be see the relationship between hong kong and china, so there is discussion about whether she has stepped down and hong kong and china said that was never a possibility, but whether she would go, and whether her going would be good. the timing will be key here. when do you replace? in the article here, it says that china is in two minds, they want to diffuse the situation but also do not want to be seen to be given in to protesters so it is talking about how they are hoping that things settle down and stabilise before making a final decision. how do you achieve that? there is no easy route. what the
11:49 pm
protests tell us is this is more about carrie lam or even about how the administration functions. it is about hong kong's long—term future and a lot of young people on the streets as well as older people. they want to be part of the election process for a new executive. finally, let's turn to the times, doctors hail first drug to slow down alzheimer's if it comes through. this would be a great breakthrough. people in the early stages of alzheimer's, if they are given a high dose of this drug a could slow things down which means they would live independently for longer, so they could perform household chores and travel on their own rather than having to move into care so quickly. an interesting thing here is it says it would be one of the most stunning reversals in the history of pharmaceutical development because they have tried this drug in 40 did not work then went back to and tried again and it looks like it could be
11:50 pm
again and it looks like it could be a breakthrough drug. this would be incredibly positive given the impact that alzheimer's can have on people's lives. but there is some concern about exactly how effective this is, and one concern cited in this is, and one concern cited in this article is that findings relied ona this article is that findings relied on a subset of patients, and there are concerns that could produce. positive is. we may be need to wait and see what happens in terms of whether this is what it says it is. here's hoping that is the case but there is concern around that. here's hoping that is the case but there is concern around thatm also says and hid that we have seen also says and hid that we have seen a lot of promising treatment for alzheimer's, and when these drugs go to the final stages it has been found they do not work as they thought we would, so we have to wait and see whether this is actually the one. the spectrum of dementia is huge. we will leave it there, great story to end a run! a lot of good news and also bad news today,
