11:30 pm
it was a thoroughly wet start to the weekend for england and wales. it isn't improved as we reached part two of the weekend, certainly into the start of the new working week with colder, dry, sunny conditions moving governmental. we started out alpha monday with a frosty note with mister fog around. once that cleared we saw some glorious autumn sunshine beaming down on the douglas autumn colours. the next couple of days we should hold onto this dry and largely sunny feed with the cold weather said to continue. it is all change towards the end of the week as low pressure invaders from the south stop high pressure has been the dominant factor the last couple of days. it will be again on tuesday, bringing more fine condition throughout the day after a frosty start. a few showers peppering the northern and eastern coasts. and we have an area of low pressure trying to bring more breeze, cloud, outbreaks of rain. another cold day with temperatures reaching the highs around 9— 12 degrees. some changes as we head on
11:31 pm
into wednesday. we start to see this high pressure move over towards the north sea. that will allow the low pressure system with its weather front to push a bit further northwards and eastward through the day. so it could be that parts of scotla nd day. so it could be that parts of scotland in north—eastern england will hold onto the sunniest weather after a cold start. further south, sunshine will be hazy and then it is cloudier skies for northern ireland, wales, south—west of england with outbreaks of rain. quite breezy. sides of things being milder moving in. otherwise a cold day for most northern and eastern errors. then it looks like as we head—on into thursday this area of low pressure begins to invade as high pressure retreats back to the near continent. thursday a cloudy story for most areas stop outbreaks of rain. quite patchy in places. some of it fairly heavy. it looks like it could stay dry across the north—east. once again it will be a chilly day, highs of nine degrees. further south 11— 15 degrees. then as we head—on into friday we have low pressure, i think
11:32 pm
well and truly dominating to bring stronger winds and outbreaks of rain. some milder air arriving across the south—west will eventually wind out and push into northern scotland. friday's picture, a little bit of brightness around, but quite a bit of cloud with the next batch of rain. it will bring heavier downpours to england and wales. it will be breezy. milder, 15-16. wales. it will be breezy. milder, 15—16. double—figure values as well across the north. as we head—on into saturday, looks very unsettled. studies the dipper areas of low pressure m ove studies the dipper areas of low pressure move in. they wet and windy speu pressure move in. they wet and windy spell on saturday followed by another one on sunday. yes, next week and looks unsettled with wind and rain at times. if you like that sort of thing it will be mild. beyond that into next week, a stark temperature contrast will regenerate thisjet temperature contrast will regenerate this jet stream and allow it to power across the atlantic, diving
11:33 pm
just to the south of the uk it will steer low pressure systems towards our shores, any next week could be pretty unsettled. spells of wet and windy weather are on the cards. there will be a little bit of sunshine in between but it is going to remain unsettled throughout much of the week thanks to that powerful jet stream. on the plus side it will be generally mild, particularly across the south. be called influxes at times across more northern areas. stay tuned to the forecast. hello, this is bbc news with ben brown. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines: the prime minister accepts a three—month extension to the brexit process, finally ruling out his earlier promises to leave at the end of this month. tonight mrjohnson went to ask mps to agree to a general election on december 12th.
11:34 pm
the ayes to the right, 299. the noes to the left, 70. and despite failing to get the majority he needed, the pm he says he'll try again tomorrow, putting labour's position under pressure. in other news, the driver of the lorry in essex, in which 39 people died, appears in court charged with their manslaughter. the death of a british teenager has changed the way social media firms deal with harmful posts, according to the head of instagram. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the former pensions minister, baroness ros altmann, and the writer and broadcaster, mihir bose. most of tomorrow's front pages are now in.
11:35 pm
let's start with the financial times and it leads on borisjohnson trying again to push for a december 12th election, after mps rejected his plan today. the same story makes the front page of the daily mail. the newspaper says mr johnson is urging mps to, in his words, replace this "dysfunctional pa rliament" and get brexit done. the sun calls labour leader jeremy corbyn a chicken, after he refused to back the prime minister's attempt today to secure an early election. according to the i, boris johnson's election bid is facing a backlash from his own party, as senior conservative mps fear they will be punished by voters. the prime minister's push for a pre—christmas poll is also on the front page of the guardian. the paper also carries a picture of presenter samira ahmed, who is taking the bbc to tribunal in an equal pay dispute.
11:36 pm
the mirror reports that labour mp keith vaz faces a six—month suspension after a drug and sex probe. the telegraph leads on a report into the grenfell fire disaster, which concludes that fewer people would've died were it not for the failings in the london fire brigade's response. and the times carries a study, which suggests taking two painkillers a day can reduce the symptoms of depression. we will talk about some of those stories right now. can boris when his christmas gamble? stories right now. can boris when his christmas gamble ?|j stories right now. can boris when his christmas gamble? i think he certainly can, the poles would suggest the tories are way ahead of the other parties but it is a gamble and it is a risk and we saw last time, 2017, the tories were way way
11:37 pm
ahead and suddenly the result did not go the way it was expected. the current prime minister is a much better campaigner than the previous prime minister but it is a real gamble and it is a really difficult time of year to hold an election. you do not know what the weather is going to be like, especially at short notice, logistically it will be difficult to organise as well. there are some people say parliament will try to amend this field to include 16 and 17 years old and if they do that, i do not think there is time to get them all in the electoral register by december. it is not clear but, if you look at the polls, the suggestions are that the prime minister will win. that does not mean he will win. i think it is much more problematic to say the prime minister will be in. it will
11:38 pm
start the election, if he actually gets the measure through parliament tomorrow, he will start with a healthy lead but whether during the campaign that healthy lead will convert to a majority in parliament, because people... there might be tactical voting among the remainers. will the labour seats in the north effect it. taxi drivers, great fonts of knowledge, they may have voted for leave but still vote for labour they might vote for the brexit party. or the brexit party. if labour and the others can make it into a question of other issues, i am not he would win. how much of a
11:39 pm
threat do you think the brexit party would be to the prime minister?m is not clear but another brilliant campaigner is nigel farage and the ra into the labour leave areas many people who simply would never vote tory, just as in other places in the country there are people who would never vote labour. i think, country there are people who would never vote labour. ithink, it country there are people who would never vote labour. i think, it is possible we get another hung parliament, even though the poles look. different. it can be very unpredictable and you can get strange results where the remain vote gets split and a leave candidate gets voted in or the opposite. all of this is a gamble and it is not where the prime
11:40 pm
minister wanted to be, he would have wa nted minister wanted to be, he would have wanted to be out of the eu before he went back to the country. that is an interesting point. we forget october 31 was the deadline he said he would rather die in 31 was the deadline he said he would ratherdie in an 31 was the deadline he said he would rather die in an itch than mess and he missed it. nigel farage will certainly use that, the deal he got from russell is not a proper brexit deal for one, but secondly he will make much of the fact that boris johnson has failed to keep his word andl johnson has failed to keep his word and i think that will have an impact and i think that will have an impact and the other parties may also make that point, that you cannot trust this man that he would make a pledge of do ordie this man that he would make a pledge of do or die not perform. in the guardian,... it looks as though the snp and lib democrats will insist on
11:41 pm
this. this is all very high politics here. the snp lib dems and were petrified he would get the deal through. they do not want brexit to already have happened. in addition, they do generally believe this is they do generally believe this is the most dreadful deal and it would be terrible for the country so they wa nted be terrible for the country so they wanted to try and prevent parliament being ground down. there is a lot of weariness in parliament. a lot worried borisjohnson weariness in parliament. a lot worried boris johnson would weariness in parliament. a lot worried borisjohnson would call an election and then so fix the date of the election that britain would come out without a deal and then the election would take place. this bill would specify the date of the election so it would not be up to
11:42 pm
the prime minister but passed in law. the 12th of december is what they will push for, the closer to christmas, the harder it is and the less popular, the turnout might be lower and students would have left universities and end up not voting. and we have out shopping to do. priorities. what about labour's position? the sun having a go at jeremy corbyn, calling him a chicken, ducks, all the game... thank goodness a turkey is not voting this christmas. 12th night, forthright, jeremy corbyn, we have been talking for muncie wanted an election and yet when presented for an opportunity he does not take it. —— talking for months that jeremy corbyn. they have had this creative
11:43 pm
ambiguity, they are for remain and get his position seems quite absurd. corbin is not for remain. he would negotiate another deal and then come back and basically tell the voters not to vote for a labour deal. labour's position is really pretty indefensible. on the one hand the leadership wants brexit and then go to the country or wants to pretend that they do not want brexit but really they do. lots of labour mps quite worried. the leave seat up in the north particularly. worried about languishing in the polls, jeremy corbyn unpopular as party leader and a lot fearing they will lose their seats. i am not sure the jeremy corbyn magic of 2017 is that there. he does not look well. i
11:44 pm
think they were hoping they would before they would have to go to the country but that does not look likely at the moment. let's move away from brexit and the election, whenever it is going to come. the telegraph, they have a front page which is about grenfell tower and the report, a thousand pages, which really has a go at the london fire brigade. they have an early copy of the report and very damning criticism of the london fire brigade of what it did on the night that basically people had to keep staying in theirflat and basically people had to keep staying in their flat and of course they stayed there for two hours so they said it was the wrong thing to say and he has also criticised them for having put... staying in your flight is an article of faith... having put... staying in your flight is an article of faith. .. that was the policy. but basically he is
11:45 pm
saying they could not adjust to the circumstances and the commissioner has gone into criticism because he would not change anything. that is really difficult. for people who would have lost loved ones to take, to suggest a senior fire officer suggesting, even if she knew was that again, she would do the same. there was a more junior fire officer in charge and eventually they did recognise that actually the policy was not working but to say he would not do anything different i think would be very difficult for people to a cce pt would be very difficult for people to accept and also difficult for the public to accept because you would wa nt public to accept because you would want the fire brigade to learn lessons if lessons need to be lined and it seems as though from this report that they do. not a huge story on the front page here, mda is
11:46 pm
a closet the government is talking to outlaw. there was a lot of pressure on women and equality select committee from the house of commons back into the summer and i think there is a lot of concern about this cover—up culture routinely using nondisclosure agreement to silence people who suffer discrimination or sexual harassment. an it is, i think, appropriate for proper protection of both those people and others in the workforce who might suffer the same if nobody realises what is going on, for nda ‘s not to be used in those circumstances but it does mean people who complain have got to have better protection from tribunal tribunal. i think the imbalance of power between the employer and the employee means the employee feels they have to accept the settlement.
11:47 pm
at the moment it is a sort of blanket coverage. and therefore they don't allow people, because the people may have had a settlement, and it is not the same in america where it is a much more open and people can come out and say things as to what has happened. we go to the times. a daily dose of aspirin helps to tackle depression. we are a lwa ys helps to tackle depression. we are always hearing about aspirin being a, sort of, something to take... as a, sort of, something to take... as a wonder drug. to take for people who have heart problems or strokes or something. this article is about the scientists reviewing evidence which says that in the case of depression it seems that there could be some inflammation of the brain and that aspirin could help in the process. but one must say that reading the article that is not very clear how it would work and all the study is not, you know, absolutely
11:48 pm
clear on this. so the headline is probably slightly more suggestive of how useful aspirin might be than the actual article gives evidence to support that. you wonder with these stories whether people then russia to start taking aspirin. then other people say aspirin can cause bleeding and so on —— russia two. that is exactly what it does do, is that it thins the blood. if you were already fine you might end up having excessive bleeding. if you read the article it is not quite as clear—cut as that. it says there are a number of different drugs which might help with depression because sometimes depression is caused by inflammation somewhere in the body, either the brain or somewhere else. so it suggests that there is a lot more to this. the overall message is that sometimes the cheap options like aspirin or ibuprofen can actually do you quite a lot of good, even more,
11:49 pm
sometimes, than the more expensive drugs. also a great story in the times. i love this one. tell us about that. this is from the queen's dresser, angela kelly, a liverpudlian, she has written a book. ever since the age of eight she has wanted elocution lessons. when she started working for the queen she asked if she could have elocution lessons. the queen would not agree. eventually she asked the queen if she would give her elocution. she said fine, now is the word furious. and that one word, she made her repeated. and in the end she said she could not quite get over her liverpudlian accent. she said she could not quite get over her liverpudlian accentlj won't ask you to do your scales accent in here. i like a liverpudlian accent in here. they are supporting tottenham hotspur. i know you support liverpool. there is
11:50 pm
another story that the queen always wanted to be photographed casually and eventually had a photograph taken with her hands in her pocket. it isa taken with her hands in her pocket. it is a lovely story. it is a lovely story. at the end of the day are like the fact that she quite likes the fact that she likes to stay as she is and she doesn't need to worry about speaking the queen's english. didn't stay with her liverpudlian accent. would have made a good scene in the crown. did you watch the ground? i love that. they think the queen isjust such ground? i love that. they think the queen is just such a wonderful national asset. but not everybody has to speak like her. no, they don't. they don't indeed. they don't. they don't indeed. they don't. less and with... look at the by. don't. less and with... look at the rugby. gosh... what you think, england? england should win. the performers again new zealand was absolutely brilliant. but eddie jones, the codes, playing some mind games. basically south africans are not a very good team to watch, but they are a hefty team, a strong
11:51 pm
team. what he is saying is able be very careful, i will not expect them to be strong and we will prepare for it. and, provided, and this is what was very encouraging about england was very encouraging about england was my performance, is after they beat the all blacks, the best team in the world, they didn't celebrate as if they had one the trophy —— england's performance. that suggests they have their heads screwed on and they have their heads screwed on and they won't need aspirin for that. and your daughter started playing rugby! yes, she started playing by. rugby! yes, she started playing rugby. she plays every week. she trains during the week. she has really got into it. it is a really good team game, from what they have seen. i have been to watch a few times and arm picking things up. most what is more football. -- and then picking things up. she gripped by the rugby world cup? yes. she really wa nted by the rugby world cup? yes. she really wanted to go but could not
11:52 pm
get the time off from work. it is fantastic to think that england are in the finaland fantastic to think that england are in the final and they could actually win the world cup. it is fabulous. and eddiejones, win the world cup. it is fabulous. and eddie jones, he win the world cup. it is fabulous. and eddiejones, he is quite a remarkable character. he is always driving them on to greater things are never saying we haven't done anything, we are not the best team in the world, you go and prove it. that is his message. he is a great motivator. he has done brilliantly with england. the question about that. what about the tournament, are you enjoying it? it was interrupted by the terrible typhoon. it seemed to play havoc with it for a while. on the other hand, it has been successful. the japanese have taken it to their hearts. absolutely. and it to their hearts. absolutely. and it has made it into a proper world tournament. onto a part of the world that it has never been to before. and the japanese are pretty organised and don't let a bit of weather stop them. a typhoon, ok, we will carry on as best as we can. i
11:53 pm
think this british spirit of, you know, not necessarily saying we are the best, but we are going to try and do our best and then hopefully we will be the best rather than being too cocky and assuming that they deserve to win. they think that is great team spirit —— i think. hopefully it will mean we prevail in the end. bit of a shame about wales. and all british final would have been... it would have been wonderful. not to be. we will look forward to the final. saturday morning. i know you will be watching. and your daughter. all right, thank you so much for keeping us right, thank you so much for keeping us company and going through the papers with us 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 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this evening, ros and mihir. that's all from us

11:55 pm
the world cup after their superb victory over new zealand in the semifinals. butjones says there can be no room for complacency against the power of the springboks. well, the power of the springboks. well, the only thing we are really worried about is how the springboks turn up on saturday. you know, they won a tough semi—final. and when you are in the final of the world cup you have done a lot of good things right. you know, they are a massively aggressive, physical forward pack. they probably play the stronger team in the second half as opposed to the first of. and they are going to be a difficult side to beat. eddie jones says he believes his team can play even better than they did on saturday. but others have been raising a few questions. the wales coach, warren gatland, set up the wales coach, warren gatland, set up to his team's defeated south africa that he believes that some teams peek for the semi—final and then struggled to much that level in then struggled to much that level in the final. a comment which produced
11:56 pm
a typically lively response from eddiejones. a typically lively response from eddie jones. guy's, can you just send my best wishes to warren and make sure he enjoys the third and fourth play—off. make sure he enjoys the third and fourth play-off. eddie jones is buckling from there. tiger woods has equalled the pga tour record of 82 tournament wins. he did it by winning zozo championship injapan — his first event since having his fifth knee operation nine weeks ago. he won his first pga title 23 years ago this month. he has come back and at the very first opportunity he has one. doing moved alongside sam snead, one of the legendary records in the game of golf, and 82nd victory. he met sam snead as a five—year—old and sam snead as a five—year—old and sam snead was quite impressed because that little five—year—old tiger woods was able to get the ball out of the water and make a bogey on the parfrey. my goodness me, indy 23 yea rs of parfrey. my goodness me, indy 23 years of his professional career, tiger woods has just rewritten
11:57 pm
record book after record book. queens park rangers missed the chance to go second in the championship after losing 3—1 at home to brentford. ollie watkins scored twice, the second making sure of the victory against their west london rivals in the dying seconds. the result means qpr stay in eighth while brentford are now up to 12th, with their third win in a row. roger federer has withdrawn from this week's paris masters in order to pace himself, with next month's atp finals in london on the horizon. the 38—year—old is playing in his 22nd season on the atp tour and won a record—extending 10th swiss indoors championship title on sunday. the world number three has already secured a spot in the atp finals, which start on the 10th of november at the o2 arena. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. good evening. today's weather a repeat performance of yesterday in some ways. it will be a chilly start ona some ways. it will be a chilly start on a frosty start for some. there
