said... he resources elsewhere. he said... he said he does not trust the conservatives? to owners of the deal yes. but it did not appeal as efficiently because he said the need to re m ove efficiently because he said the need to remove the candidates entirely otherwise they could split the vote and effectively a way to let labour in and his argument was he would be able to deliver a majority for the conservative party if they take a different approach. and it's interesting because the deadline for nominations is four o'clock tomorrow. four o'clock tomorrow, and that's the key point. you do wonder, has the selection come at such a great surprise to all these people? been preparing for a commute would have thought, and the labour party apparently has not been, it would be forgiven for thinking they have not prepared very much for this campaign giving what we have been seeing in other papers. don't forget to him in

the referendum campaign boris was for brexit, nigel farage was for brexit and they were not in the same campaign. and the antipathy that was there in that referendum has continued. so actually getting a deal, one suspects, between two people who have not been very friendly to each other certainly in public cannot be very easy. you do wonder, even after four o'clock tomorrow if the polls narrow towards election day, there's nothing to stop some candidates, certain candidates withdrawing or saying we are no longer a candidate, don't vote for us. it seems to be ludicrous when there are, what are talks, what are negotiations? when i

used to work in football we used to say when is the meeting, if you meet someone say when is the meeting, if you meet someone in the left, have you had a meeting? you actually have. and so these unofficial talks have gone on and you might suspect them still going on. this is about a potential deal between the conservatives and brexit party. the financial times have interviewed leader of the liberal democrats, pictured here on several of the front pages of her wearing boxing gloves, she launched a youth and ship today at a boxing gym in london. and this is about her ruling out helping jeremy corbyn into their number ten. why is this so into their number ten. why is this so important? it's very significant because they are arguing the remainder but will be split between the liberal democrats and labour party so it's a similar narrative but on the alternative side of the debate we are seeing with nigel farage and party the conservatives.

now it's been very clear and repeated several times that in the borisjohnson norjeremy corbyn in her view are fit to be prime minister, and she is reiterating that message again very strongly and going a bit further i would say which is to say she was pushed on theissue which is to say she was pushed on the issue with laura hughes who is very good at pushing a question... the political correspondent. and she puts the point and said yes, i would have another election rather than allowjeremy corbyn into downing street. that makes it incredibly ha rd street. that makes it incredibly hard for her to roll back in that situation and play a kingmaker role that we have seen in previous situations with the hung parliament and the tory lib dem coalition. it's and the tory lib dem coalition. it's a very definite stance, and i mean, you might think that the coverage andindeed you might think that the coverage and indeed the liberal democrats in, it seems like 100 years but it's only a week or something like that, that this general election campaign

has been somewhat scant, and there does seem to be at the moment very, and she is struggling i might suggest to make an impact. maybe the fa ct suggest to make an impact. maybe the fact she is front pages today, the yellow boxing gloves of north london have got hurt coverage. do you think the lib dems are struggling to make an impact? i think where they did make an impact is their agreement with the green party, that was a very significant and substantial and donein very significant and substantial and done in good times and very orderly. that was significant and spoke to a wider operation between the smaller parties and even if there is a majority returned for the conservative party you of the situation with those small parties having a lot of power if they did vote with labour on specific issues. no one is ruling out that at least. i think there is impact happening there and it's a difficult hand to play when you're trying to win over those disillusioned the providers if you say and vote for them will be a

vote for labour. strategically she's ina tight vote for labour. strategically she's in a tight spot. i wanted to move on to the metro. quite distracting headline. i think what's interesting about this is we had labour wanting to focus on the nhs. saying where the party to get brexit and both leaders and both leaders were heckled. should you have a curveball can crop up in a campaign. it's our old friend events. as the late harold millan said. nobody knows, do they come of the weather is going to be on this general election campaign. what boris finally gets to south yorkshire one day, get the reception that was, any government minister, ask owen patterson.

environment secretary for another flooded area a few years ago and got it terrible reception at that time because he was the government. jeremy corbyn got there pretty quickly earlier in the week. if these get worse and get there very quickly, what would be the long—term impact of that? if we get around december the 10th, or 11th or 12th what if the weather interferes with people getting out to vote? that's the perils of an election in the deep midwinter. boris johnson the perils of an election in the deep midwinter. borisjohnson was heckled when he went to visit the people affected by the floods in south yorkshire, jeremy corbyn was also heckled, wasn't he? when he was

in glasgow he was branded a terrorist. after his statement following the killing of a terrorist leader and he suggested it would've have been better if he had been arrested rather than killed. there was a lot of discussion about his previous political relationships which has been explored in great detail a lot of debate over them. that's not meant expressing a particular view because the context of the statement that people feel he is not taken a sufficiently hard line on people who would be determined to be terrorists in general view. and that's one of the reasons. to be fair to him, branded, one hopes, was branded a terrorist sympathizer with the words. that was the exact words used by a clergyman in glasgow. and this is, as you say, some of the connections he's had in

the past closer to home and in the middle east, and elsewhere. and in south america as well. the point being both of them heckled or rather thrown off their key election m essa 9 es thrown off their key election messages today. i should turn to the guardian and the other story dominating the news which of course has been the start of the impeachment hearings in washington with donald trump, the headline in the guardian, trump tied to ukraine aid plot in testimony. your paper taking particular interest in this. how much interest is this in wider america? opinion is very divided. he was very opposed to this impeachment hearing and feel that it should not be under way, that's not the same as not being uninterested per se. divided opinion but certainly lots of general interest. my colleagues on the hill and watched and sort of

following it blow—by—blow and today was significant insofar as we've had in bassett or william taylor who was the investor to ukraine giving testimony and he has tied, albeit still relatively indirectly, donald trump of the conversation to the european ambassador, well the us ambassador to europe, gordon saying all of this aid was dependent on this probe into thejill biden. and that's relation but a conversation with someone else. i'm recently back from california and what struck me there was admittedly, a highly liberal supporting antitrust area, but a view that whatever goes on nobody seriously expects trump to be

impeached or to be thrown out of office to be more exact. but the process and what happens in the perception of what happens in these hearings may well come to the jury, the ultimate jury which is the electorate next november. perfect place to that's it for the papers this hour. david and anna will be back at 11.30 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 — 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. thank you david davies and anna isaac — goodbye. and of course the weather is therefore used seven days a week, 2a hours a day with the wanted or not

and i'm not sure you will have wa nted and i'm not sure you will have wanted this snow that fell notjust in south wales here, but also across higher ground of the southwest. the met office of issuer yellow warning for parts of wales in the west midlands. comes as this feature slid the cloud and wind and rain and snow down to the southwest. here it is at the start of thursday all of her many parts of southern bridge and other there will be a little chink in itjust towards that southeast quarter. through the course of the afternoon my real concern is the eastern portion of the front swing it significant rainfall a couple of inches or so perhaps for some up into the flood affected areas. for the north it's a brighter day with showers through scotland and maybe northern ireland as well. the real concerns will come as you've heard in the paper review about this intensified rainfall through the course of thursday night into friday as well which will be another chilly one especially when the skies are a bit clearer across scotland and northern ireland. what news of friday itself? a big area of low

pressure providing quite a bit of disturbed weather is in the north of italy and the alpine region. on the northern flank a moist onshore flow generating a lot of clout and still the odd bit of rain it's out later in the day we bring so be more persistent perhaps in the southeastern quarter. but not with the intensity of thursday. thursday night are the real issues and best of the sunshine again crosta scotla nd of the sunshine again crosta scotland and northern ireland. they funded degree or two on the temperatures but that's not the main story. thursday is real issue. and the weekend, cloudy still pretty cool and there will be bits and pieces of rain because i've changing from friday into saturday you'll see the weather systems don't really change very much at all. i suspect the very best of any sunshine on offer in the west wales perhaps north ireland and scotland for a time increasingly hazy here will bring a new set of fronts and from the atlantic and all the while especially in that southeast quarter enough cloud on a cloudy day to be

producing the odd bits and pieces of rain. and of change the day again, and there's a sunday for you. that was different comes in from the atlantic, snow across the higher ground scotland further south again and enough cloud around for there to be odd bit of peace of rain. especially through east anglia in the southeast. 30 odd flood warnings at the moment, keep up—to—date and of course you can get up—to—date texts right to your phone. sign up if you will.

this is bbc news. i'm rebecca jones. the headlines at 11:00pm: sorting brexit is the key to driving the country forward — says borisjohnson as he calls for people to give the conservatives a majority so they can deliver it. it is the blue peter deal. all we need — all we need is a working majority. we need is a working majority. we need is a working majority in parliament make parliament work. meanwhile, labourfocuses on the nhs vowing to outspend the tories with an extra multi—billion pound cash boost for the health service. labour will and posterity to bring waiting lists down, stabilise our accident and emergency services and
