atlantic, there across the atlantic, spawning areas of low pressure but at the same time, these areas of low pressure are milder weather in our direction. and that is actually what is happening right now. it is a mild night out there, and it will become whereas across to the north we have got to be cold air which is ready to tuckin got to be cold air which is ready to tuck in behind these vortices, behind these areas of low pressure and had our way sometime next week. so it will chop and change. in the short—term, it is the warning from the met office that is the story, the met office that is the story, the winds that are expected across southern parts of the uk starting in the early hours of saturday morning in the south—west of the uk, as this low pressure approaches, and then those high winds will spread to other parts of the country across the south during the morning and into the afternoon. so this is what it looks like early in the morning. we start to see the onset of the gales along the coast of cornwall, devon, and southern parts of wales. a spell of heavy rain as well. this is the centre of the low pressure. not low pressure will be tracking

across the southern part of the uk. this is where the strongest of the winds will be. at the same time in the north it will not be windy at all. in fact, the north it will not be windy at all. infact, lighterwinds. it is this southern portion of the uk within this yellow zone where we will see gusts of 60 or maybe 70 miles an hour, perhaps 80 miles an hour long exposed coasts. that is likely to cause some tree damage, disruption to transport, it is possible. if you are travelling during the morning and afternoon, just take it steady across the south. in the northerly winds will not be as strong. they will be some rain around scotland, particularly in the east. but temperatures, weather you are in the north or south, will be more or less the same, around 10— i2 celsius. that was saturday, this is sunday. that same area of low pressure responsible for the gales decides to slow down, park itself across the uk, and basically blow itself out.

sunday will not be anywhere near as windy, but the weather will still be quite changeable. we are expecting sunny spells and also occasional showers. the temperatures will again be more or less the same within that low pressure, around 12—13. here is monday's weather map. you can see the low pressure is still with us. it is really domineering, the weather, across this whole chunk of europe. this big showers circling within this low pressure here, we will see sunny spells, occasional downpours, i wouldn't be surprised if there are some cracks of thunder as well. not all bad. it willjust bea as well. not all bad. it willjust be a changeable day. now, there is a change on the way. on tuesday, but local start to move away and high pressure will start to build in. that means the wind is likely to change direction, and the thinking is, from tuesday, we will start to see colder airfrom the is, from tuesday, we will start to see colder air from the north. cds wind arrows coming all the way from the norwegian sea, in fact, all way from the arctic, bringing drier and brighter weather, those temperatures will be tumbling. seven degrees, but is probably optimistic for aberdeen. it could be as low as four degrees. the idea is that from tuesday

onwards and into wednesday we will see colder air coming in from the north atlantic and low pressure will be heading our way again to return the milder air, wet and windy weather again. goodbye. hello, this is bbc news. we will be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first the headlines: 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 risks — or voting for any 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?

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the journalist and broadcaster yasmin alibhai—brown and the political commentator and former conservative staffer jo—anne nadler. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. borisjohnson is going to appeal to green votes by banning fracking. that is 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 upcoming 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 byjonny wilkinson, who secured england's world cup success in 2003. the headline however says tories promise an election tax cut, which details parts of their manifesto. the daily mirror's front page is about the amount of money that staff and patients pay in nhs car parks, saying it has risen by £46 million in the past year alone, in what the paper calls a scandal. and in the guardian, "the king comes to london," as the tutankhamun exhibition opens this week at the saatchi gallery.

let's this week at the saatchi gallery. start our chat witi telegraph, let's start our chat with the telegraph, and the tories promise and election tax cut. i was quite excited when i saw this. looking for detail, what did you find?m excited when i saw this. looking for detail, what did you find? it is very much a watch this space story, isn't it? it comes from an interview which the telegraph has done for tomorrow's paper with the business secretary, andrea leadsom, and in it she says that essentially there will be news about tax cuts in the conservative manifesto when it comes. but very... beyond that, no hint exactly of what kind of tax cuts and to whom they will be targeted. she does allude to the fa ct targeted. she does allude to the fact that the conservatives have quite rightly raised thresholds on taxes for lower income payers, and i would hope that they will continue

in that vein. but as i say, we are going to have to wait and see what the detail is. she also indicates that, although there has been quite a lot of chatter about changing property taxes, stamp duty, rather, that perhaps that is not what they are going to do this time around. but... when you talk about thresholds for lower income earners, what are they telling us about that? well, i mean, she has referred to the fact that that is what the conservative government has done in recent yea rs, conservative government has done in recent years, certainly under the coalition government. and i think that if there is anything to be read into this, i would take away from that that she is suggesting that any tax cuts will not necessarilyjust before higher earners. you see, i think this is again about the election. everything is about the election. everything is about the election. of course it is about the election, it is a manifesto. election. of course it is about the election, it is a manifestolj election. of course it is about the

election, it is a manifesto. i think in very recent times the tories have said they want to cut taxes for the highest earners, corporation tax, to make on the thames. and that would be such a miserable thing to do, when actually our services... i don't know how they are going to square this. borisjohnson don't know how they are going to square this. boris johnson and don't know how they are going to square this. borisjohnson and his lot are promising more money for the national health service, more money for education, more money for everybody. and how are they going to do it if they are actually going to reduce the tax revenues? and you are quite right to ask. cutting taxes doesn't always reduce revenues. that is one of the main advantages of cutting taxes, is quite often if you have a competitive tax environment, the treasury actually brings in more revenue. so to answer your question, i think it is absolutely right. we must look at how they are going to focus on the things they promised... lam with focus on the things they promised... i am with mr corbett on this. the biggest players, those people who

have come into this country, many of them from elsewhere, billionaires, are simply not paying their tax —— corbyn. it is so easy, if you have a good accountant. even middle—class people. this is not about billionaires, that is the point of this. this is about aspiration, this is about ordinary people. this. this is about aspiration, this is about ordinary peoplelj this. this is about aspiration, this is about ordinary people. i don't believe it is. she has not given us enough detail. how does this compare with labour's tax policy? that is two tax policies that they have said very clearly, i am completely with them, that tax avoidance, fair tax from those who can afford it, a fairer society. we have not had a fairer society. we have not had a fair society since the tories and then the coalition made things much, much worse. we are amongst the most unequal countries in the world, and there is no reason for that to carry on. i there is no reason for that to carry on. lam there is no reason for that to carry on. i am with them, with labour on this. so in the same way that jo—anne said this is not about

billionaires, this is about everyday people, how does labour compare on that? not the high earners, but every day? i still think those who can should pay more so that our services recover from the devastation. now, of course, they are promising money for the national health service and so on. i use the national health service. if i have to pay more tax, i am happy to do so. to pay more tax, i am happy to do so. we will see what labour can do in their manifesto, but this comic this is interesting because it is pointing to clear distinctions between the two parties. let's turn to the front page of the times, and another policy we are hearing from the borisjohnson another policy we are hearing from the boris johnson camp, another policy we are hearing from the borisjohnson camp, this idea of banning fracking. again, one has to rememberthe time we banning fracking. again, one has to remember the time we are in. but it does seem to have come out of evidence, asjo—anne does seem to have come out of evidence, as jo—anne said does seem to have come out of evidence, asjo—anne said earlier, the report and evidence suggesting that this is not a good idea to proceed with. now, borisjohnson before was fully for it, and now he

has immediately banned it. and if it was based on this evidence, then really good for him. if it isjust another political gesture, then shame on him. well, i mean, i think that the conservatives over the last decade or so have been open—minded to fracking and to looking at different ways to innovate new types of sustainable energy in this country. so i very much hope that the reason for introducing what i believe is a moratorium rather than an outright ban is for legitimate reasons to do with safety concerns, to do with the effect on the environment, and that in so doing, it is not impeding the development of new technologies that could actually be a long—term help. of new technologies that could actually be a long-term help. all right, well, the independent also on that story. do you think, because obviously this could be seen as a way of winning over the liberals,

the green vote, is it that key to get that vote in this general election? i think it is certainly, generationally speaking, as much as anything else, it is clearly a significant policy area which the conservatives traditionally have not had the strongest reputation on. the other thing that i think we touched on earlier, which may sound cynical, is that this is an interesting and new announcement, and it has apart from the pictures here largely knocked mr farage's press conference earlier today off the front pages, andi earlier today off the front pages, and i suspect he was expecting to have rather a clean sweep of the front pages. so if you take them altogether, there is the story about the tax, there is the these are quite strong front pages for the conservatives on what is the first weekend of an election campaign, albeit not under way officially yet.

the daily mail is covering that, boris, we don't need you, nigel. in response to this offer, this ultimatum. which one was it? it was both, wasn't it? he started off making an offer, nigel farage, to the tory party and the government, and then it very quickly turned into and then it very quickly turned into a kind of semi— threat, that if you don't do this, i am going to run candidates in... and i really want to know whether money is coming from. he says he has enough money. if he has enough money, where is it coming from? 600 seats? it took centuries for these two main parties to build—upa centuries for these two main parties to build—up a base, lib dem still struggle with the membership. who is funding the brexit party? he will have to make that public during an election campaign, but i think that ina election campaign, but i think that in a sense this story goes more to the question of has he played this right strategically? and there is quite a lot of reason to think that actually he hasn't, that he has

overplayed his hands here, which is not to say that they will be some seats, particularly the northern seats, particularly the northern seats, the marginal seats between labour and conservative, where the presence of a brexit candidate could certainly shake things up. now interestingly, among some apologists, there seems to be a difference of opinion, will those seats favour labour candidates having a brexit candidate, or could it actually help the conservatives by taking votes from labour —— psephologists. i think there doesn't seem to be complete agreement across the board on this. and there is a kind of cultural thing. there are some people, whatever happens, would never vote for the tories but they might vote for brexit. and that is what they are counting on, i think. the guardian also has this on their front page, the pm rejects farage's offer of electoral pact. we were speaking to a gentleman from yougov,

and he said it is a really messy picture, really tough one this year. the other aspect of this story is that it would have been quite difficult for conservative party —— the conservative party, given that in polling it suggests as many as 50% of conservative members felt there was some benefit in doing some kind of alliance with farage in some seat. now, had he offered something like that to borisjohnson, a far more sort of tactical approach, it would have been quite difficult, i think, for the prime minister to have said no to this. but because he, as you quite rightly said, seemed almost to be threatening the conservative party, it is very easy to walk away from it. and i think thatis to walk away from it. and i think that is a much better look across the board for the conservative party, which is after all an established oldest democratic political institution, and all the rest of it. he doesn't really need to be doing these sort of backroom deals with a party like the brexit party. two isn't it interesting that

the first thing boris has said after all this is that if you vote for the brexit party you getjeremy corbyn? they are so constantly scared of jeremy corbyn, as if... why are they so... jeremy corbyn, as if... why are they so... what is it about him? i don't think the policies of the labour party appeal to —— i don't think... the policies of the labour party appeal to a lot of people. do you think thatjeremy corbyn's approach to brexit, and it took so long for him to outline his stance... he is not a good leader, but he does lead a party a very good policies. now, i would prefer keir starmer to be in his place today. if keir starmer was in his place, it would be extraordinary. the debate with boris johnson, for starters. but it is a question, what is it aboutjeremy that so scares you, that every time he is like the big which is coming? conservatives generally feel that

his policies would take us backwards economically, would not be able to serve the people that he purports to wa nt to serve the people that he purports to want to represent. and also it is hardly a party for everybody, is it? yesterday, the first day of their campaign, effectively, thejewish labour movement said they wouldn't campaignfor labour movement said they wouldn't campaign for their own party. yes, and the tories have a problem with muslims. there is no party without this taint of actually racism of various sorts. but the labour party is the only one being investigated by the human rights commission. the tory party would have been if they had tory party would have been if they ha d followe d tory party would have been if they had followed the recommendation. this is a very serious issue. but thatis this is a very serious issue. but that is an exterior thing. the labour party has good policies, especially post austerity. may be because this is quite a unique general election it has become about the characters, perhaps more than the characters, perhaps more than the party. i don't think it really is about the characters. i think people are going to be very engaged,

actually in the substance here. and i think that actually, to give jeremy corbyn some credit, i think that he is quite right to try and make this not solely about brexit, because it is a general election. it is not a referendum. but is it? is it really a general election? is not a referendum. but is it? is it really a general election7m is not a referendum. but is it? is it really a general election? it can serve as a proxy for brexit, because now that nigel farage has... for a brexit referendum, excuse me. now that nigel farage has come out effectively only for no deal, you have the full range of choice on brexit available, represented by the different political parties. except i wishjeremy different political parties. except i wish jeremy had different political parties. except i wishjeremy had been clear about where he stood. we will see where that plays out. the daily mirror. nhs cup like vultures, £46 million extra. yes, well, we were committing earlier that this was a campaign that we think has a very broad

support and they are really just updating us on the amount of money thatis updating us on the amount of money that is raised in nhs car parks, but of course some of that money does go to the hospitals, and that is largely why this system is allowed to continue. it is deeply unfair. nurses having to pay, patients and their relatives, and it goes to the private company. what we need to know, and what we don't know from this short bit here, is how much the hospitals get and how much the private companies get. this is an ongoing story. certainly labour are commenting on this. julie cooper on this front page, "situation is a disgrace, it will be interesting to see what they do about it". boris is going to burn it tomorrow. you think? yes, it is all going to happen. let's turn to the times and leave the election behind. sport a lwa ys leave the election behind. sport always brings a country together. back to the front page of the times. this ties in nicely with the front page of the telegraph. when i lose,

this will be the best year yet for sport. yes, they have been very thorough in going through a number of different sports and obviously the headline, in many ways, is the fantastic success in the cricket world cup earlier. they were hoping to replicate that tomorrow with the by. to replicate that tomorrow with the rugby. they are also looking at the potential for lewis hamilton to be the formula i champion again for. they are also looking at cricket, football... something dodgy on this, looking at the decade, the decade has been very good. looking at the decade, the decade has been very goodlj looking at the decade, the decade has been very good. i still remember 2012 one, you know... well, it is nice to get that reminder, isn't it. quickly, we will end on the front page of the daily telegraph. if you area rugby page of the daily telegraph. if you are a rugby fan, a sports fan, you will recognise this famous pose. this time around it is by owen farrell, who is the rugby captain.

very nice muscles, i must say.|j farrell, who is the rugby captain. very nice muscles, i must say. i am not going to enter into this objectification of owen farrell. all right. basically, this is proposed byjonny wilkinson back in 2003 after he scored the winning dropkick for england when they took on australia, winning 20—17. hopefully that will be a good omen. yes. thank you very much indeed. thank you for watching us here on bbc news. all the front pages are online. visit the front pages are online. visit the website, seven days a week. thank you to my guests, and thank you as well. cheerio.

good evening. here is your latest sports news. it is the most eagerly anticipated much in rugby union, and there is not long to go now until there is not long to go now until the world cup final kicks off in japan. fans from both teams have made sure they have got to yokohama by hook or crook to watch the two remaining sides. england and south africa facing. for england, it would be revenge for the last time the two sides met in the 2007 final, when south africa were the victors. for the springboks, it could be an important moment in history as the team is led out by the country's first black captain. our sports editor dan roan has this report from tokyo. another tactical masterclass by eddiejones. it another tactical masterclass by eddie jones. it may another tactical masterclass by eddiejones. it may be the eve of the world cup final, but england's head coach still found time to put local school kids through their

paces today. earlier it was his captain taking instructions. this was the squad's final training session before the biggest game of their lives. good session, boys. good work. owen farrell's leadership has been crucial to his team's in japan. they have had much to celebrate in this campaign but he told me thejob is not yet celebrate in this campaign but he told me the job is not yet complete. we know that we can't just told me the job is not yet complete. we know that we can'tjust expect told me the job is not yet complete. we know that we can't just expect to do the same as last week and the same to happen. we've got to figure out ways to put ourselves in the best position possible to perform. it is 16 years since one of the most cherished moments in english sporting history. jonny wilkinson's extra time drop goal sealing victory over an australia side coached by jones to wind the world cup for the first and only time. today the hero of the triumph was helping england's kickers as they try to emulate the tea m kickers as they try to emulate the team of 2003, but he told me this current squad can handle the pressure. i see a difference in this team, toa pressure. i see a difference in this team, to a degree, certainly from some of the players, because i don't think they are like the way i was.

they are not reclusive. introverted, in that respect. i think they are going to deal with it in their own way. but england's opponents, south africa, also have great pedigree in this tournament. their iconic 1995 triumph on home soil uniting a nation. 24 years on, see occlusive is the team's first black captain, a powerful representative of a more representative team. a very long time, since 2007. this is really special. i don't think anyone outside south africa understands what this means to us. i know that tomorrow is going to be more special for the country. organisers have hailed asia's first world cup eight towering success, but for the thousands of england fans descending onjapan, thousands of england fans descending on japan, there is thousands of england fans descending onjapan, there is only one place to be tomorrow. we would love to get tickets, we would try to when we get

to tokyo. we have time, we get there early in the morning. kick off at six o'clock local time. hopefully we can get tickets. we've got a request to find tickets, but they are like gold tossed. you wouldn't sell your tickets? not a chance. how much do you want? not a chance! it england to return home victorious these are the kinds of scenes but will greet them, after a victory which could change the players people's lives and reinvigorate the sport. england will always look back fondly on the journey here in japan, will always look back fondly on the journey here injapan, having re—established themselves as a major force in the game. now they stand on the brink of sporting mortality. their challenge, to finish on top of the rugby world once again. it was the game that they didn't want to play at the rugby world cup and they lost. wales were comprehensively beaten by new zealand in the third place play off by 40 points to 17. the match was also warren gatland's last in charge of wales after 12 years in the role as head coach, during which time he turned the side's fortunes around.

i really hope for what we have achieved in the last ten or 12 years and we felt that we have earned respect and put respect into wales as an international team. that they continue, the new coaches continue to build on that because i think what we've done and what we've achieved, it would break my heart if, you know, wales went back into the doldrums, i think. lewis hamilton looks to be on course for his sixth world title after finishing fastest in practice ahead of the american grand prix. the mercedes driver was 0.3 seconds faster than ferrari's charles leclerc, while red bull's max verstappen was close in third. hamilton only has to finish in eighth place or better on the austin track on sunday to secure the drivers championship. qualifying for pole position takes place tomorrow. that's all the sport for now.

hello there. saturday threatens to bring rather stormy weather across some parts of the uk. a combination of gales and heavy rain, which could well cause some travel disruption. your bbc local radio station will a lwa ys your bbc local radio station will always keep you up—to—date with things where you are. the culprits, an area of low pressure. you can see the cloud swirling here on the satellite picture, and as this area of low pressure has been approaching the british isles, it has been deepening. you can see on its southern flank particularly, a lot of white line squeezing together, a lot of isobars. that shows a swathe of very strong winds which will continue to develop through the first parts of the day. some heavy rain pushing it as well to wales in the south—west. that's where we'll have the strongest winds through the first part of the morning. gusts of maybe 70—80 mph for exposed coasts. through the day, that swathes of strong winds will head further east through southern england up into the

south midlands and parts of east anglia as well. gusts of 50—60 miles an hour, possibly 65 or a little stronger than that for exposed coasts. we will have a strong and potentially damaging winds, will also have some outbreaks of heavy rain, drifting slowly east and north through the day. there will be parts of northern england, northern ireland and southern scotland that see a lot of dry weather and some spells of sunshine and lighter winds as well. but across northern scotland, here we will have heavy and persistent and potentially flooding rain, with easterly winds gusting to 50—60 mph. again, that could cause some problems. lots going on with the web through the day ahead, top temperatures of 10-13. -- day ahead, top temperatures of 10—13. —— weather. the winds will only slowly ease as we go through the evening, but into the early hours of sunday, it will be a little calmer out there. still some outbreaks of rain and temperatures between six and nine degrees. so, low pressure still in charge of the scene on sunday, but not as many of those white lines, isobars, around the lows. that means the winds will bea

the lows. that means the winds will be a bit lighter. we will still see showers or longer spells of rain at times, but it is certainly not all doom and gloom if you are planning to head out on sunday, because you can see some breaks in the cloud. they will be some spells of sunshine. top temperatures on sunday between 11 and 14. it stays u nsettled between 11 and 14. it stays unsettled into the start of the new week.
