lorna gordon, bbc news, glasgow. now it's time for the weather with lucy martin. doing their hello there. time for a look at the weather for the week ahead. while many of us have seen a good deal of dry and often sunny weather to start the week, there are some real changes on the cards. over the next few days it will be milder but with that it will turn claudia with some wet weather as well. the reason for this, some area of high pressure will edge its way further east and that will allow the weather fronts to feed into the south and west. high pressure is with us first thing thursday morning, with a chilly scart to scotland and northern england with a touch of frost but again, good deal of sunshine to many and cloudy skies of northern ireland and parts of wales and the south—west. the rain tending to ease across the south—west. ca ptu res to ease across the south—west. captures between eight and 14
11:31 pm
celsius. into the evening, the cloud will continue to beginning to the west with outbreaks of rain beating eastwards. the rain is courtesy of these weather fronts. friday is looking like a fairly unsettled job. but also going to dragon some milder hour. thursday night, the temperatures will drift away, particularly for scotland, parts of northern england but we will see the temperatures recovering. noticeably milder start to the day. a very different looking day across the board. some missed and merc over high ground. we will see spells of rain as the day progresses. temperatures of a maximum around 9-14, 12-16 temperatures of a maximum around 9—14, 12—16 across the south. a noticeably milder day to come on friday. into the weekend, a bit of uncertainty in the detail. low pressure will be in charge. the
11:32 pm
positioning of the centre of that low will affect where the wettest weather and the strongest winds are. at the moment saturdays looking u nsettled. at the moment saturdays looking unsettled. it looks like there could be fairly strong winds. we will keep you up—to—date as we get closer. temperatures a touchdown on what we see on friday, but in double figures for most. into sunday, low pressure is still with us. it looks like it will be another unsettled day on sunday but not a total washout. spells of rain around and a fair amount of cloud but in between, some brighter spells. temperatures on sunday still in the double figures. highs ofaround sunday still in the double figures. highs of around 12, 13 celsius, more like 11, 12 in the north. as we move into the side —— start at the next week, the area of lobe pressure moves in. so does look like we will
11:33 pm
see something a bit cooler across the north of the uk as we move into monday but it will be another u nsettled monday but it will be another unsettled day, a fair amount of cloud, outbreaks of rain, temperatures a bit cooler in the north, highs of around 8—11. further south, 11— 12 celsius. as we take a look further ahead, we are on the cooler side of the jetstream. later in the week it looks like that will allow for another area of low pressure to form and feed in looks like we will see further unsettled weather is removed to the second half of next week. so while we've seen lots of dry and bright weather to start this week, it looks like there is a real change on the cards to something milder and more u nsettled to something milder and more unsettled as well. goodbye.
11:34 pm
hello. this is bbc news with me, carrie gracie. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines: a public inquiry into the grenfell tower fire reveals systemic failures in the way london fire brigade dealt with the blaze, prompting calls for its chief to resign. we will never, ever forget the tragedy of that night.
11:35 pm
the 72 lives lost were just the worst thing ever and london fire brigade are truly sorry we couldn't save everyone's life that night. the report said more lives could have been saved if the building had been evacuated sooner. the victims relatives and survivors called it heartbreaking. we believed the firefighters who came and knocked on our doors and told us to stay so we believed them and we stayed. raging wildfires in california — as a new blaze in the south of the state threatens the ronald reagan presidential library. hello and welcome to our look ahead
11:36 pm
to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are anand menon, who's director of uk in a changing europe, and the political strategist, jo tanner who was an adviser to borisjohnson when he was london mayor. most of tomorrow's front pages are now in. let's start with the telegraph, and it reports that the brexit party is considering pulling out of hundreds of seats in the election, in a move that could boost the conservatives. politics on the front page of the guardian too. the newspaper sasteremy corbyn is kicking off his election campaign, with a promise to represent the people. the times warns of, what it calls, an "exodus" of moderate conservatives — as the culture secretary nicky morgan, joins a number of other mps leaving westminster. the daily mail carries a poll which, it says, suggests voters trust boris johnson more than jeremy corbyn when it comes to the nhs.
11:37 pm
grenfell survivors and families are calling for the london fire brigade chief to resign — after a highly critical report from the inquiry into the blaze. that's in the 'i'. the same story makes the front page of the metro — it says grenfell families are accusing fire chiefs of hiding behind the heroism, of the crews who tackled the fire. and, the financial times leads on the decision by the us central bank to cut interest rates, for the third time in four months. so, a varied set of front pages —— let's see what our reviewers make of it all. 36% of voters think that boris johnson has the best policies. this isa johnson has the best policies. this is a big deal in the sense that this is a big deal in the sense that this isa is a big deal in the sense that this is a labour issue. on the back of claims about the mhs. we should bear
11:38 pm
in mind we haven't released policies and it is early days but this isn't the best way forjeremy corbyn to start the campaign. it's a respected polling agency. it's not exactly a convincing lead. there might be a slightly different set of answers so those numbers might switch quickly. even really, if you look at the numbers together, you only get 70%. 30% think, they don't know, or they could do as good a job. the nhs is going to be a huge issue in this election. certainly was one of the big things that boris johnson focused on in terms of, think theresa may tried to secure more money from the nhs. how much was it,
11:39 pm
well documented, that had gone on. this is one of the first things that boris made, new investment into the nhs,. both major parties are going to be claiming this territory. actually just to be claiming this territory. actuallyjust think to be claiming this territory. actually just think about to be claiming this territory. actuallyjust think about the timing of this election which every year, we have a winter crisis, every year we have a winter crisis, every year we have a winter crisis, every year we have problems running out of flu jabs. deaths due to all sorts of related issues around the weather. in the cold generally so actually the nhs, the backdrop is going to be really interesting because you only need a few things change around the nhs and some hospital problems and it doesn't look good for those people. i think it's absolutely true. generally those headlines strike in the new year. it's one of the reasons why the government was keen to have the election before christmas. the nhs is clearly going
11:40 pm
to be central. one of the interesting things about polling over the last few years is how well don't know or none of the above has done. there is a certain distrust around at the moment. also, we get tribalism on the newspapers. we have an nhs story of an entirely different flavour. it boris johnson becomes prime minister, is absolutely desperate to get a trade deal in that trade deal, americans will say, we want access to the nhs. it's like the other side of the story from what the daily mail was giving, there is a danger ahead for the borisjohnson giving, there is a danger ahead for the boris johnson government. giving, there is a danger ahead for the borisjohnson government. and this is an argument, something that labour is sticking to, despite denials. i think there was a press co nfe re nce denials. i think there was a press conference where boris actually did
11:41 pm
say categorically, it was not an option. i think that might have been an event that donald trump is it. something that got asked. this is clearly, the fact that this keeps coming up, it must be an issue that labour can see is pulling well. there have been focus groups, a big concern. there have been focus groups, a big concern. is boris going to sell off some of the nhs? it's a great argument that can stick. and donald trump will be in town, said he would get asked questions about this. nhs and chlorinated chicken will both be on the menu. maybe there will be a direct correlation, who knows. the guardian has a different tone. a big picture ofjeremy corbyn. jeremy
11:42 pm
corbyn's line, the tories don't represent the people, we do. can you go as bold is that? you can, and it's striking, the tories other party of vested interests, multimillionaire media magnates, and the conservatives will counter, we other party of the people, and will try to deliver brexit. it's a very populist election that both parties are zeroing in on the people against the establishment and that will be a recurring theme throughout this. what this does the faith in our system and faith in our parliament, i don't know but... in the argument that any of the parties represent the people, given the people voted, i'm not some big brexit here but the reality is, the public voted for something known as managed to deliver it. i'm not sure anyone really represents the views of the
11:43 pm
majority, certainly on that issue and you could argue that the complete absolute failure to deliver on anything actually over the last couple of years would suggest that no—one quite represents anyone properly. this line, this election isa properly. this line, this election is a once in a generation chance to transform our country. do we believe that? i've heard that was going to happen before. we've heard that before but there are two things i would say. one is the ideological gulf between the two parties is big and if either of them ends up with the majority, they will change things significantly but secondly, this reminded me of the leave campaign in the referendum which made the point very clearly. this is your one chance to change things. jeremy corbyn is trying to do make people think this is serious because of course, it's notjust about changing people's minds, it's about ensuring that in the debt of winter, you will turn out. a slightly different angle on politics. a lot of people are going to be saying
11:44 pm
goodbye. joe, here we are. nikki morgan is one. she announced this evening that she was going to quit, many of them women. —— nicky morgan. many of them, moderate tories. the times picks up on the fact that of the 67 female tory mps elected in 2017, one in six are standing down. i worked with a group women2women established in 2006 aiming to get more women elected conservative mps. we even talked back then about the challenges of having children. women we re challenges of having children. women were asked. men were never asked this question about doing the job and how are you going to look up your kids? that was the number one
11:45 pm
concern when we were talking to women and now these women are having to go home and they have children that are anxious because of the abuse that they are seeing their mum is getting and it is very real. i've seen some is getting and it is very real. i've seen some of these mps in tears over some of the stuff they've had to face and they didn't go into politics. particularly people like nicky morgan, they didn't go in over issues like europe, they went in over the local hospitals and schools in social care challenges, all the things not talked about and what they've ended up doing is get caught up they've ended up doing is get caught up in this massive, massive debate, really even wanting to. and the abuse that they face has been horrific —— abuse that they face has been horrific — — horrific abuse that they face has been horrific —— horrific stop going to lose some really good people. people parachuting on all sides in politics, who they are and whether they are going to be able to do a job. they're saying this piece that
11:46 pm
female and ethnic minority candidates, the party, the tory party to stand in winnable seats. because this diversity she really matters. there is also an ideological battle going on for the soul of the conservative party. there is a quote from iain duncan smith which says, we other brexit party now. that might suit brexit support is in the parliamentary conservative party but brexit strategists worried about losing boats to liberal democrats, that's not what they want, and the more of these moderate tories to jump ship, these moderate tories to jump ship, the bigger the danger that the party gets taken over by brexit and steve baker is saying, the european research group, which is a group of hardline exit will come out of the selection with more members than they had. turning away from politics to
11:47 pm
something sad we have been recovering all day, the first report dealing with grenfell. the london fire brigade are being accused of hiding behind heroes and they are having a go at the chief of the fire brigade. there have been criticisms that the boss in charge that her initial reaction was not right and the tone was not right at all. the suggestion that we would have done the same again. and actually, the report has found systematic failings across so many report has found systematic failings across so many aspects of the work that the fire brigade do, everything from the stay put order that was given through to the training involved in some of these high—rise buildings and what happens. despite the fact that there have been high profile fires to deal with. it is a sad day for the people who are
11:48 pm
obviously directly affected by what happened at grenfell but there are a wider community of those who support the firefighters. one picture in the metro shows what happened afterwards. these people do not go into thejob to afterwards. these people do not go into the job to not save lives. that is what they do. i know we spoke about it last hour but it is interesting to see this headline when another headline that is not here that could be here is that 400 high—rise buildings still have that cladding on. the report has revealed another —— a number of problems from the fire brigade through to the cladding. i suspect we will have several days of headlines about g re nfell several days of headlines about grenfell as people go through the report in detail but you are right.
11:49 pm
the people who signed off the building, those who are responsible. there are so many issues. but some of the representatives of the family are intimating simply saying that there are systematic failings and admitting that is not enough, they should rectify it. this is quite mystifying and puzzling, back to the times. the children who do puzzles reduce —— reduce the risk of dementia later in life. that at eight years old you can tell the dementia risk in their future. eight years old you can tell the dementia risk in their futurem eight years old you can tell the dementia risk in their future. it is talking about this particular research saying that eight —year—olds with prom —— strong problem—solving skills retain them into old age. my 11—year—old was taught to play connect four but he
11:50 pm
rapidly was able to beat me which i felt quite chuffed about. the concept behind this is that so much of these cognitive skills that i learned young, they are indicators, according to this research. i think this is the university of oxford. and the study and one of the professors looked at it as well and it says that parents who help build up it says that parents who help build up the child's thinking skills could make them more resilient in the future to dementia which is an interesting concept. we think these problems come in older age because of behavioural things that actually looks like it is far more fundamental in terms of development. it is amazing that what you do between zero and eight will define
11:51 pm
who you are cognitively in your 80s and 905. who you are cognitively in your 80s and 90s. so me sitting there on the train doing my pseudocode will have no impact on my risk of dementia because i should have done it 45 years ago. a quick last one. are you a pumpkin painter or a pumpkin carver? i feel a sense of loss at the notion that these traditions are going to die out because people are worried about injury. ijust worry because people are worried about injury. i just worry about this... there are important things that families do. it is like that thing where you sit around the table and have dinner. this is important. i decorate my house every year. halloween is a big deal in my road.
11:52 pm
i went to america once during hollowing and did not realise that everybody dressed up. but it is important. picking a pumpkin, that experience, i think there is an art form to it. i have seen friends on instagram, i had no idea i had such talented friends. do we even believe this story? that the child accident prevention trust. i am always sceptical. it is a bit like that one about the conkers killing you in the playground. i'm never quite sure. maybe somebody was hit in the eye with a conker early in life but someone somewhere with a conker early in life but someone somewhere had a slightly risky manoeuvre, i think and they got upset about it. we will stick with our pumpkins. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers
11:53 pm

11:58 pm
the afternoon are largely dry picture with a bit of drizzle around, the odd shower, lingering cloud but much drier. plenty of sunshine further north and east. still breezy especially for some of the western coasts. later in the day the western coasts. later in the day the cloud starts to build towards the cloud starts to build towards the west and skies become overcast. temperatures reaching 11 in belfast with brightness for plymouth up to 14 degrees. if you heading out in the evening for trick—or—treating, a fine story across central and eastern parts of the uk with the cloud thickening in the west to bring a patchy outbreak of rain at first and then some heavy rain by the time we get to midnight as the next area of low pressure starts to work in. it will also bring strengthening wind in this low will stay with us for a while, particularly on friday it will pull the air in from the south—west of the air in from the south—west of the uk, from the atlantic and so yes the uk, from the atlantic and so yes the rain will come down but, actually, the temperature on the whole will be going up. heavy downpours of rain at time and coming

in showery bands there will be brightness in between the rain and in that sunshine 16 or 17 degrees across eastern england. persistent rainfor across eastern england. persistent rain for the south coast later in the day. just nine or ten to the north across scotland. that area of low pressure as we're the weekend. it will stay with us, exactly how it develops is open to some questions still at the moment but if we do get this deep squeeze to the south of the uk it could be a very windy day across southern england and, particularly along the south coast. never mind where you are, are and wet weekend basically in store.
