hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the journalist and broadcaster yasmin alibi—brown, and the political commentator and former conservative stafferjo—anne nadler. lovely to see you both. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in, and not surprisingly a lot of them lead with politics. borisjohnson is going to appeal to green votes by banning fracking. that's according to the times, which says the conservatives are to abandon their decade—long policy of supporting the controversial method of extracting shale gas. also leading on the fracking story is the the independent, but they ask the question, "will nigel farage help or hinder the conservative party in the up—coming election?" this comes as the brexit party launched their election campaign today.

the daily mail answers this by headlining, "we don't need you, nigel" as it reports that the prime minister dismisses mr farage‘s offer. the paper also features england rugby captain owen farrell ahead of tomorrow's world cup final injapan. a picture of the player is on the front of the daily telegraph imitating the pose made famous byjohnny wilkinson, who secured england's world cup success in 2013. -- 2003. the headline, however, says, "tories promise an election tax cut," which details parts of their manifesto. also the daily mirror's front page is about the amount staff and patients pay in nhs car parks has risen by £46 million in the past year alone, in what the paper calls a "scandal". so that was a little selection of the front pages. let's start our

chat with an appeal to the green vote but don't touch by the times, johnson the brand —— band fracking. johnson the brand —— band fracking. johnson to ban fracking. not long ago, our prime minister was saying fracking it was an answer to the nation's prayers. now i'm not going to do my usual thing, which is a riff about why i hate boris johnson. and i'll try to be really fair. maybe he is a man now that is growing up, a man who looks at a report and genuinely believes that this is a bad thing because a new report has said that the effects on the localities is unacceptable. and may therefore, he is making a rational and quite honest decision. now i'm trying my best here. you are. i'm really trying. it's admirable. in fact i was quite

prepared to leap to the prime minister's defence. but let's be fairto him, if minister's defence. but let's be fair to him, if this is the reason that he is doing it, then credit to him. but the other side of me thinks it's just politicking in the worst possible way, the way he is throwing money around and offering sweeties to the national health service and so on. to the national health service and so on. as i said, i don't know. and if it is the genuine thing, then good on him. i think what is interesting apart from anything else is that this wasn't anticipated. it is that this wasn't anticipated. it is on the front pages on a day that i'm fairly certain that a mr nigel farage would have expected having a clean sweep of all the front pages. sojust in terms of positioning, i think that is — one could say that isa think that is — one could say that is a clever bit of press management by the conservative party. and as it yasmin is saying, there seems to be

— it's been described by the papers asa u—turn — it's been described by the papers as a u—turn on fracking. but how do politicians ever win? because if information comes to light which means something such as this, which is an inevitable technology, which doesn't hold the promise as it might have done, then surely it is important for politicians to change their minds on it. but i think what we are looking at here is a moratorium at the very least on fracking. i have some concerns in that i think it would be a shame if the government is being too much following a precautionary principle oi'i following a precautionary principle on this. we need to have innovative ways to generate energy. and there's a lot to be said, it seems to me, that the fracking industry in the usa has helped america develop a lot more... but there are lots of people in the us who really don't like it. and i think there is enough evidence that the other side of me clearly

related to the politicking of boris johnson wanting to be loved by everybody. but also, if it is just a moratorium, then i really don't trust them. if he really means the ban, then i... let's turn to the independent, because it also leans on the end of fracking. this announcement comes from the business secretary andrea led some. joanne, you mentioned the us? there's a lot of opposition in the us, and those candidates were talking about elizabeth warren, and i think bernie sanders, as well. they have some pushback from some pretty big names in the energy industry to their proposal to ban fracking. but when you consider that even releasing 10% of the gas that fracking would have done, it would have met the uk's energy needs for a0 years. what

other renewable energy sources would the conservatives have in their portfolio? there are all sorts of renewables, which i think the government will be concentrating on — solar power and other sources of it. but i'm suggesting that i have a slight concern about this, because although on the one hand, as we've said, it is good to be able to react if circumstances change, and we shouldn't necessarily criticise politicians for going down a u—turn route. but on the other hand, i hope that this is being done for evidence—based reasons, and not to score points with the environmental lobby. we should perhaps mention the reason that has been given to this — this is following an earthquake, the last earthquake that took place in the north of england in march? but also the report that came out, and independent report — the people who

live in these areas have been incredibly concerned for quite a long time. and not all of them are campaigners or ego warriors, but they have been worried —— ego warriors. and it would be a terrible thing if this was being donejust warriors. and it would be a terrible thing if this was being done just to get their votes, and the whole thing is turn around. i hope that doesn't happen. let's turn to the front page, nigel farage was expecting to have a clean sweep of those front pages. the daily mail certainly has it on theirfront pages. the daily mail certainly has it on their front page. yes, well, i think that is a headline that will go down well with cc hq, the conservative party headquarters. because it definitely puts boris johnson on the front foot. obviously this refers to the press conference that the brexit party held today. and while certainly not an olive branch, more of a poisoned chalice

that the leader of the brexit party offer the conservatives, that they will co—operate with them, but they have to drop their deal. now he can't seriously have thought that the prime minister was going to do that. the question really is, what effect might this have on the conservatives? because it does mean that the brexit party are intending to stand candidates in as many seats as they can. 600, he said, didn't he? one wonders who is funding all these operations. it also, i think nigel farage must have a long planned here. he must know this is going to be the immediate reaction to tell him not to be silly, they don't need him. but i also wonder whether it has all gone to his head, the fact that donald trump arranged to bring him on his radio show. he's a lwa ys to bring him on his radio show. he's always had such an inflated view of

his own self anyways. inflated, but he very much exposed to the vulnerabilities in the european elections. how serious a threat is the brexit party? he has been a phenomenal political campaign or, wherever you stand on brexit, you cannot take that away from the man. he has single—handedly effectively led to the —— led the country over many years to the point of voting for brexit. and to that end, his effectiveness cannot be underplayed. the question here is, has he overplayed his hand? at the moment, i think it appears as though he may have done. for starters, you say he will have to organise a big election campaign. andl will have to organise a big election campaign. and i think people will see an inflexibility here which gives the conservatives the opportunity to present boris johnson's deal as the sensible compromise deal. let's turn to the

front page of the guardian, same story, pm rejects farage's offer of electoral pack. —— packed. however the prime minister has said if you vote for the brexit party, you are letting injeremy corbyn. vote for the brexit party, you are letting in jeremy corbyn. but one of the things is nigel farage, up to a point, has been a big figure — and in my view, a malevolent figure and politics. he wouldn't have had the power he had, had there not been so many people in the media so prepared to give him centre stage. the man never won a domestic — he stood seven times? we are talking about domestic policies, this is talking about the politics of here. he never won any of the elections he stood for. and i think maybe he wants power within the tory party. maybe he wants to be a minister, because i

think farage has been not a brilliant politician, but somebody who has had entertainment value and has been really promoted beyond his status. you say he hasn't one, he's not managed to become an mp. he is an mep. in european elections, yes. six times he has stood? x times? his job he says is to deliver brexit, that's all he's campaigning on. he doesn't owe his country, he talks about it as if he runs the entire country. all politicians can be grandiose from time to time. let's turn to the daily mirror, because this may well be an issue that voters will get riled up about.|j get voters will get riled up about.” get riled up about this! i think it is about the most unfair things.”

haveit is about the most unfair things.” have it here. nhs car park vultures, £a6 million extra, and it is to private firms? well, a lot of money goes to the nhs trusts, and that is how this is a to continue. but i think there has been quite a strong ci’oss think there has been quite a strong cross party amongst mps campaign against this, very much led by the conservative mp and minister. so this kind of figure will be very much evidence that will help in that campaign. but it is what happens to the patient, the relative, to the helpers and staff — when you look at what happens to each of those individuals upon whom the service depends and those who actually depends and those who actually depend on it — that they should be punished in this way? it is notjust that they are having to pay for this, but the fines are immediately

demanded. and it isjust plain wrong. when you are waiting to see someone wrong. when you are waiting to see someone in hospital as a patient, it can take 15 minutes, it can take three hours a. i must admit i have been caught with a fine. they ran out to my car attending a breast cancer clinic, i realised i needed to pay, and then i had my ticket on there. it's very quick. but the fact is labour isjumping on this, saying the situation is dangerous. will this be a vote winner? because it is on the first time it's been on the front page. you have to propose to do something about it, don't you? then the scrutiny comes in to where does this money go and how useful is it to the nhs trusts? it's not an absolutely straightforward story here, because if hospitals didn't make money out of this, then it would not be allowed to continue. they make money out of it. boris johnson will ban it tomorrow! he will just be it. johnson will ban it tomorrow! he willjust be it. let's turn to the times. if you missed all the stories

we talked about, the main story of todayis we talked about, the main story of today is taking place tomorrow. win or lose, this will be the best year yet for support, including what is going on with the rugby. it's very exciting. we were just saying it, not that we want to fulfil any gender stereotypes here, but neither of us are particularly knowledgeable about rugby. but that said, i think it has been quite difficult not to get enthused by everything that's been going on during this particular championship. and i'm quite pleased that there a reason to wake up tomorrow morning since was on at 9am. and there is a lovely photo here where the queen's lifeguards, one chap is supporting south africa because he's from south africa, and the other one is for england. it's a great picture, actually. but it is quite interesting because i don't know if you've picked out — the

sports that are listed in this article, when you think about it, you realise we've done all right in football, athletics, cycling... leie lewis hamilton. he is one formula1 for the six time if he makes it. lewis hamilton. he is one formula1 for the six time if he makes itm you are going to be watching, 9am kick—off tomorrow morning. england are taking on the springboks. the last time they won was when they beat australia back in 2003. so obviously you can follow that on the bbc. yasmin and jo—anne will be back at 11:30pm for another look at the papers. that's it for the papers this hour. i'll be back with you in four minutes. and 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.

and on top of that, some very windy weather on the way, starting early hours of saturday morning. the met office has issued a severe weather warning, and those winds could prove disruptive and even damaging during the course of saturday. it's this low pressure that's heading our way, and it's basically going to park itself over the uk during the course of the weekend, bringing unsettled weather. but it's also bringing milder weather. at the moment, it's pretty chilly in the north of the country, but that mild weather

is going to spread northwards. in the short term, we have rain spreading through northern ireland into scotland, it may be the odd clear spell. but the real story is this area here just to the south of ireland. that's where the swathe of very strong winds is early on saturday morning. the onset of the gales around 5am for the shore of cornwall at devon, the south coast of wales as well. and it's to the south of this low where we have that strongest core of winds and the heavy rain. that'll be tracking across southern parts of the uk. here it is, the morning onwards, those strong winds and the heavy rain impacting the southwest of the country, central and southern england, just nudging into the south midlands, east midlands, east anglia. but at the same time, northern england, much lighter winds here, same for belfast and glasgow, hardly any wind at all. it really will be the southern portion of the uk. isolated gusts could hit 80 mph in some exposed places, and inland in places like london even up to 60 mph, and that could prove disruptive.

there could be some tree damage from these strong gusts of wind. but notice that across northern england, we even have some sunshine in the forecasts here around the lakes around newcastle. how about temperatures? whether you are in the south or north, it will be more or less the same, talking about 10—i2dc for most of us. i mention that low pressure parking itself across the uk. it will park itself and also start to blow itself out. winds are much lighter on sunday, still a bit of a breeze out there, but the real message for sunday is just how changeable the weather will be from perhaps some sunny spells to occasional heavy showers. and that's going to continue into monday. bye— bye.

this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00pm: nigel farage calls on borisjohnson to join forces for the election, but the prime minister says there will be no deal between them. any other party, i'm afraid, simply the risk of voting for the other party, simply risks putting jeremy corbyn into number ten. a man faces extradition from ireland as part of the investigation into the deaths of 39 migrants in a lorry in essex. the england team prepares for tomorrow's big match. will they lift the rugby world cup trophy for the first time since 2003? we can'tjust we can't just expect to do the same as last week and the same to happen.

we've got
