10:45 pm
yea rs. and the daily mail describe ‘the hero who died withoutjustice', after none of the detectives who were involved in the questioning of lord bramall — over false child abuse claims — have been punished. does just a taste of some the front pages. we're going to start off with the independent. so if failure to help the row. the flood victims straight across yorkshire in the north of england. it is put itself front and centre of the general election campaign and it is a politicized issue with them going head to head over whether or not enough is been done to support the businesses affected by the flood and also whether there's going to be more money to come. that the prime minister, on the emergency of the right minute? it has been hugely
10:46 pm
politicized. it is not clear how much. a lot of people, we heard about the scheme which the government announced earlier today andi government announced earlier today and i think sajid javid spoke about that as well in terms of financial help. but some say as little too little too late. especially if you're in the village that is underwater effectively as the dramatic picture on the front of the independent and other papers show anything the government offers now feels like too little too late but they're absolutely right, everything is political in the best of times but during the general election, these floods, borisjohnson more than any other conservative leaders rely on him saying the areas particularly in the north of england in the mittens which have not voted conservative if ever, that he is taking them seriously and cares about them. so any perception that he is not gripping this and perhaps one did develop earlier this week,
10:47 pm
jeremy corbyn went there twice before borisjohnson did and he said borisjohnson must hold a meeting, that very dramatic term that is just, when the prime minister because one of those, that is on those demonstrations that he gives and trained us into the flood victims which says that i am taking this seriously. he was there on friday evening and it did make the papers, but some say this is just an opportunity for a campaign shot. he was there if you remember that shot. but a national emergency, do you he wa nted but a national emergency, do you he wanted that? if you have lost your business and you got a house submerged under water, you may think so. submerged under water, you may think so. jeremy corbyn, joe swenson was there with a pack of camels. all showing their concern in front of the eyes of the people were be equally persuasive of the cameras went there to assist in the hard work of trying to understand which
10:48 pm
people were affected. that would not have happened if we are in the middle of the general election and thatis middle of the general election and that is what this is all about. they wa nt to that is what this is all about. they want to see a lot of spending commitments but what i really want to see is —— but they really want to see us more to see is —— but they really want to see us more sandbags more people on the streets. the subject of climate change is come up and if we turn to the telegraph, saying that brexit will start a green revolution. and there is the question that if our current infrastructure is able to cope with the changing seasons and the effects that we are now seeing with these extreme incidents. most would accept that there is no investment in infrastructure to prevent flooding but other parts of the area have not seen these rivers burst their banks and hundred years, some we are not sure we can avoid any of this happening it's just
10:49 pm
needs more planning at the start and the investment elements are not there but a debate around climate change, the tories are not trying to appeal to extinction rebellion types and their be persuaded by pledges and their be persuaded by pledges and climate change and from the tories, they will be looking at the electric car and manufacturing industry, so they are trained to fix the car industry and parts of the country and also offer climate change, smart move from the tories but how believable it is, that is for both parties. the story says this clean energy revolution will be a suppressive brexit and totally unclear what this has to do with brexit at all. it is actually seeing defeat to borisjohnson determination to broaden the appeal. if he is pigeonholed as a brexit only prime minister, then he is not going to win this general election and as you mentioned, particularly
10:50 pm
over the last year, the agenda not just in the uk, there are lots of people, young and old concerned all around the world about the impact of climate change and the conservative party like other parties has to take that really seriously otherwise they're going to end up on the wrong side of the election. it's such a shift in all of our lives if it is going to work and it is whether obviously the government has to play their part but also on our level, their part but also on our level, the local level, individual levels. it isa the local level, individual levels. it is a huge change in our lifestyle. peoples views on climate change how they will impact how they will vote. most were based on their own economic security. and if you're motivated by climate change, you really know your stuff in the truth is, people who invest may have, for those would take these issues with them in the good to the ballot box.
10:51 pm
staying on the same subject, let's turn to the financial times and events taking place in australia around sydney, around queensland, those fires, they continue into this morning. the photos really extraordinary, very dramatic of a young mother taking her baby away from the fires and what is really striking about these wildfires is how close they are to sydney australia, the major city. clearly loads of australia, vast nothingness, intensely rural but these wildfires which they say could ta ke these wildfires which they say could take months to get fully under control of, ten miles north of central sydney, that is the kind of ramification of climate change which is going to start hitting home for ordinary people living their daily lives and the kind of thing which
10:52 pm
might spark that individual life style might spark that individual lifestyle change they were just talking about. the un, they have said that the key to fighting climate change, the fires in australia are cyclical, the problem is that they have lost them for so long, the intensity and their fires taking place in california, across southern africa as well and they said that the key to this, whether works or not is what we do in our cities. and that is going to be interesting. let us turn to the guardian and it is the nhs that they are leading on. you'll make this a clear move to get off of brexit and onto public services if they can get a general election in public services, there is a plan here for £26 billion rescue for the nhs and this is interesting because her back into the numbers game to which the public recognises numbers like £26
10:53 pm
billion as opposed to something that the tories and of the parties might offer and ultimately, all the evidences that glasgow university says as well that sadly, the public don't really expect the politicians to keep their promises, they're not usually surprised and we are in an election cycle where it is all about these big numbers, these big promises were people really want to see is more promises were people really want to see is more one—to—one promises were people really want to see is more one—to—one stuff, how you could help my mum get her cancer treatment, when will we be able to break it down to human issues, and still have these big numbers. where's the coming from? like so much of labour's plans for funding, they're quite open about that, certainly much more willing to say yes, iam certainly much more willing to say yes, i am going to borrow to invest as the phrase likes to use and previous labour figures in the preceding parliament save much more cheapish about that admission. but i
10:54 pm
ee, cheapish about that admission. but i agree, once you get over a certain big number point, it is very hard to envisage what £86 billion looks like. ido envisage what £86 billion looks like. i do not know what £26 billion looks like. but also in the broader political context need to see this asa labour political context need to see this as a labour trying to fend off the tories on their own turf. i remember what may trees made possible strategies saying just do not talk about it because we will lose to labour in the territory of a talk about health. saying that they trust more on labour and the nhs than us, borisjohnson does not more on labour and the nhs than us, boris johnson does not agree with that at all, we keep telling people are going to fund the nhs better and they will believe and trust the conservatives that they're going to find the nhs better there's been some polling evidence since he became prime minister to support them. so clearly the labour party are trying to remind voters that you trust us more of the nhs, we are the party of the hs because of the conservative start to make serious inroads into peoples trusts on how conservatives manages the health service than that is pretty bad news
10:55 pm
for labour. 26 billion for labour and 28 and a half billion for conservatives, i think an extra two and a half billion for waiting figures. let's go back to the independent and we're still waiting with the figures. that's going to twitter as well, essentially. you'll make this a story about the tories taking on the economic spending targets and they have and how much is going to cost the country, £i.2 trillion spending spree and over five years, 26 billion was enough on the public services, and it led to them basically challenging sajid javid to a tv debate any split out of onejohn mcdonald is not demanding that they have a rematch
10:56 pm
somewhere else. so another move onto public services, talking about that sort of thing, that is where labour wa nt sort of thing, that is where labour want the election to be. far away from the referendum as possible. we can pick this up on the next edition, but thank you very much. that's it for the papers this hour. henry and kezai will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers, 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 — 7 days a week at bbc dot co uk forward slash papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you henry zeffman and kezia dugdale — goodbye. good evening. for the middle part of the week for wednesday, something a little bit drier, a breakfrom all the wet weather but it will be short—lived affair. of course we still have flooding issues around
10:57 pm
the country and there are still severe flood warnings in force for the don valley, but as we had to wednesday, we have a transient ridge of high pressure which will help settle things down. one area of low pressure clearing out towards the north sea but there is another lurking in the wings ready to move in from the atlantic. this evening, still some outbreaks of shari rain but gradually through the night they would tend to ease with a few feeding into northern scotland over the high ground, still a few showers as well for wells but later wins clear skies, the recipe for a widespread frost particularly for the northern half of the uk, the further south you come, the more likely the temperatures will drop away so far. but many will wake up toa away so far. but many will wake up to a scene like this on wednesday morning. frosty predicts there some mist and fog in places but it should not be too extensive. wednesday for many will be of fine dry day with lengthy spells of crisp autumn
10:58 pm
sunshine from the word go. still some showers feeding into northern scotla nd some showers feeding into northern scotland northeast scotland may struggle to get above freezing on wednesday. it be a court day but this next system starts to show its hand towards the southwest of england and wales, introducing rain. this rain is on the move as we head through wednesday evening and it looks as though it could be a bit of a troublemaker. it will pivot and work its way north and west words, heavy and persistent rain moving into potential areas that we have already seen a lot of rainfall in recent days, places like south yorkshire and derbyshire in this rain isjust going to hang around on thursday. away from that, there will be drier brighter spells and it will still feel cold on thursday. is he going to thursday evening, gradually our area of going to thursday evening, gradually ourarea of rain going to thursday evening, gradually our area of rain clears down towards south around that area of low pressure. it will lead some showers and outbreaks of friday and still another court day and still fairly
10:59 pm
windy and that is how we head into the weekend. we still keep the court conditions remain unsettled. —— cold.
11:00 pm
this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 11:00: ministers announce more support for flood victims in the north of england. some 30 flood warnings remain in place, with more heavy rain forecast, as locals say they feel let down by the official response. communities by the official response. have been absolutely amazing. communities have been absolutely amazing. the official people but should have been telling us what to do, get out of your house, move your things, even it was coming, we had no idea. just a complete contrast. the environment agency says flood defences have reduced some of the impact, prompting more debate about where the money has been spent. life sentences for the parents of six children who murdered two teenage sons a day after trying to poison them. in hong kong, police warn that the rule of law
