11:31 pm
of next week, it is this ritual high—pressure which dominates. it will bring fine conditions for many. lighter winds as well. quite a cold and frosty start to places on monday, perhaps a bit of mist and fog as well, essentially it will be mainly dry, good news for the areas which have seen flooding, with the sunshine pretty much widespread. like i mentioned, it is going to be another chilly day, temperatures on 5- another chilly day, temperatures on 5— eight perhaps across many southern areas. on into tuesday again, another cold and frosty start. plenty of sunshine across the country, but we are starting to see those winds picking up across the south and west, introducing a bit more cloud and perhaps a bit of rain to northern ireland in parts of wales and the south—west. it will turn breezy along the south coast as well. temperatures io—ii turn breezy along the south coast as well. temperatures 10—11 and another cold one elsewhere. low pressure will be sitting just to the south—west of the country. you can see the isobars are fairly close together. around the middle of the week those winds will be picking up from the south—east and it is going to bea
11:32 pm
from the south—east and it is going to be a slightly milder direction. it will continue to bring further outbreaks of rain to the south—west. we have got a weather fronts loitering here. again, ithink wednesday will be another dryly large one with some sunshine, but a breezy day, temperatures in single figures for most, and with the breeze it will feel quite chilly. as we move deeper into next week, low pressure will continue to park itself across the south—west, which will feed us these winds in from the south. we will see outbreaks of rain but you will notice as well, the blue colours being pushed to the north of the uk for a while, as we see the yellows and oranges invading for the south. temporarily, it does look like it is going to turn milder towards the end of the week, but with a low pressure, just the rest of the country is going to bring fairly windy conditions and outbreaks of rain as well. there will be some sunshine at times as well and there are signs of some cold air returning to northern parts of the country by next weekend.
11:34 pm
hello. this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. prince andrew breaks his silence on thejeffrey epstein scandal. the duke of york was questioned about staying at the home of the convicted sex offender in an exclusive bbc interview. buckingham palace denies all allegations of inappropriate behaviour. labour has promised free, full—fibre broadband, for every home in the uk, by 2030. borisjohnson dismissed the plans as a ‘crackpot scheme.‘ around 100 people have been rescued from floods, many stranded in cars — as river levels continue to rise in the west midlands. relatives of victims of the ethiopian airlines crash have expressed their anger, after being given just 48 hours notice to attend a burial
11:35 pm
service in ethiopia. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster john stapleton and the telegraph's women's editor claire cohen. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in — and there is one story that dominates them all. the daily mirror leads with prince andrew's interview with the bbc on his friendship with the latejeffrey epstein — the duke says he ‘let the side down‘. the daily mail has the same top story — reporting that prince andrew says his behaviour was unbecoming of a member of the royal family. on the front of the daily telegraph — more on the same story — the paper also features a picture
11:36 pm
of interviewer emily maitlis with the duke at buckingham palace. the daily express says prince andrew opens up to the bbc — and calls the interview a grilling. the sun describes the duke as "grovelling". and the times says prince andrew believes his links to epstein have damaged the royals. we have to start with the story. the front of the telegraph, "i let the start that may collect the side down". it has been a good secret by the bbc and when it emerged earlier today. the interview took place at bob —— king and palace with the approval of the queen apparently although there is a suggestion that some of prince andrew's aids might be hideously rumpled about you rightly say, it is a full and frank interview, no holds barred, we are told. he says he let the side down and kicks himself every time someone
11:37 pm
reminds him or he is reminded of the fa ct reminds him or he is reminded of the fact he knew this man was a convicted paedophile and yet he still kept going to stay with him. he denies categorically. well, he didn't deny categorically, actually, when asked about his relationship with this girl who at the time was only 17 and under florida law would have been a miner. he says he doesn't recall meeting the lady. doesn't get any stronger than that. astonishing interview. it will be shown on bbc to peak time tomorrow night and as you have already indicated, every one of the papers except the guardian has it and not surprisingly. this is the kind of skip everyjournalist surprisingly. this is the kind of skip every journalist dreams surprisingly. this is the kind of skip everyjournalist dreams of getting so congratulations to newsnight. it is worth drawing attention to the fact it is in buckingham palace. we have used this picture of our flocks brocade carpet business that tells you straightaway
11:38 pm
this is not an attempt to hang the royal out to dry but to keep it in house and to protect them but that said, no suggestion... we are told, some of the headlines use the word grilling. she has asked all the questions and directly. prince andrew did release a statement some months ago, trying to draw a line under this. lily that hasn't worked. there was a channel 4 under this. lily that hasn't worked. there was a channel a documentary in october that asked a lot of the same questions again and you can understand why that might have him rattled and why he might now want to do this interview against his aid's advice. i still wonder why now, though. he could have done this year months or years ago actually and had the same effect, if indeed it does draw a line under it. it is a major event. it is in the same league of princess diana talking to panorama about the troubles in her marriage.
11:39 pm
harry and meghan more recently talking about the stresses and strains since they were married. yeah, as you said, it is a great scoot. whether or not this will see an end to it and relieve him of this anxiety, i am an end to it and relieve him of this anxiety, iam not an end to it and relieve him of this anxiety, i am not sure. an end to it and relieve him of this anxiety, iam not sure. time an end to it and relieve him of this anxiety, i am not sure. time will tell. you mentioned the charles and diana interviews. they have been almost —— they have become almost folklore. shall return to the times —— shall we turn to the times? let's ask the question again about the wisdom of the royalfamily, going personal with the media. it is very unusual that this is done. it is but those two examples were just flags. there are so few of them that they spring to mind straightaway. even its royal knockout, the queen was
11:40 pm
led to believe it was an mistake to let cameras behind closed doors so whether this will emerge to be the same. while glen maxwell has gone to ground, we don't know where she is —— jess lane —— ghislaine maxwell. ground, we don't know where she is —— jess lane —— ghislaine maxwelllj can't believe the media hasn't found this woman. there was an alleged photograph of her at burgerjoint. she has disappeared off the face of the earth and she was key to all of this. "i let the queen down". what he actually said was, "i let the side down". that is interesting because when i read the quote which is in all papers, but i read it in
11:41 pm
the times, that it wasn't becoming ofa the times, that it wasn't becoming of a royal family. that sounds like an apology to the queen. i don't know how much he is actually trying to put things right for himself rather than apologise. we are also discussing this between our previous session. it is rather odd that this story emerges today on the very same day that harry and meghan have released a story talking about their treatment by the mail on sunday and alleging that the paper made up a lot of stuff about them which they categorically deny and say they will fight. the court action around simply the duchess of sussex for this particular one. yes. but very interesting and i would say odd that to royal stories, not from the same source but from the same household, emerge on the same day. ash two royal stories. —— two royal stories.
11:42 pm
in days gone by, i suppose, you could read, "a palace source says", and you would think it is the same alice source but i don't think that is the same —— the same palace source. but i don't think that is the case anymore. let's look at this one. a set of one dozen finest porcelain plates, each one featuring a denial by prince andrew. this is coming from the royal souvenir shop. it is naughty but it is funny. the cartoonist, you probably know them pretty well. leave it is just a demonstration of what we were just talking about, —— it isjust demonstration of what we were just talking about, —— it is just a demonstration of what we were just talking about, how iconic and how rare these views are. there were so many alleged scandals... the media won't so penetrative, they won't under such scrutiny as they are now.
11:43 pm
they were not under such pressure from the media as they are now. i think the media, some would say rightly, some would say wrongly, have forced these issues to the point where they have got to come across and say something was up in the past they have said, in regards to prince andrew, categorically denied the allegations and said he has a right to privacy. while he has just written the coach and horses straight through that. social media has changed all of this. 0k. the front page of the guardian. we were leading on this other story at about 11 o'clock but it has carried on. as the story has developed, it is interesting that the criticism in the questions have grown through the day. the guardian picks up on a backlash to labour's plan to give eve ryo ne backlash to labour's plan to give everyone free broadband. labour announced today free broadband for eve ryo ne announced today free broadband for everyone and they will part privatise bt and actually tax heavily other giants like google, et
11:44 pm
cetera, to pay for this. they say it will cost £20 billion. others like the chief executive of btc that is in under estimate and it will be more like £36 billion was up as that you rightly say, some reaction, some negative reaction from big business saying that this is an indication that labour is going to nationalise everything. this is bad for the industry and one or two of them at least freezing potential investment in this kind of thing. i licked this this morning and thought, good gimmick but do people really care about free broadband more than, for example, a better nhs —— i looked at this this morning. a better nhs which has been savaged in recent yea rs. which has been savaged in recent years. or more cops on the beat. i think they care more about police officers on the beat at the nhs than free broadband. but having said that, it is an issue, it is a problem. many small businesses, particularly in small —— in rural
11:45 pm
areas. i wonder if they have the need to address this because of the figures that have come out since 2004, waiting times, at figures that have come out since 2004, waiting times, et cetera, and whether labour are waiting for the tourist to drown in their own...m i was advising i would say concentrate on the nhs because that is more close to people ‘s hat —— heart and that is the biggest scandal. it is the worst in history. it is an indictment of this government. 20,000 police officers being put back on the beat. these are 20,000 police officers that this government put away. they are just repairing the damage they created. let us get back to the broadband. end of rant! no, we love rants! in terms of connectivity, we are below countries like madagascar. a basic utility, would you go that far? it does underline the problem we have
11:46 pm
here in the uk. forget 5g, a lot of people are struggling to get 36. telecom companies already putting in existing... it will affect a huge numberof existing... it will affect a huge number of people straightaway because of the promised land of free broadband to come after the election might immediately have been stamped out. it is also interesting, it is worth pointing out, the prime minister has called it a crazed communist scheme. which he would, i suppose, but it plays into the fact that bt, was one of the first iconic privatisations by thatcher's government. i suppose labour would wa nt government. i suppose labour would want to reverse that. i think crazed communist scheme, even by his standards, is putting it a bit, don't you? let us turn to the independence. trump ally guilty of blocking probe. ithink independence. trump ally guilty of blocking probe. i think the story has moved onto the proceedings that many people will be watching today. what did you think?|j many people will be watching today. what did you think? i was watching on the bbc news channel. i was going
11:47 pm
live to the impeachment proceedings and in the witness box, as it were, the ambassador to the ukraine —— ukraine, marija marie yovanovitch. rudy giuliani who was former mayor of new york and mr trump —— trump's advisor. she was phoned at iam and told to leave the ukraine on the first available plane and her security was at risk. it was a com plete security was at risk. it was a complete mystery to her as to why her security was at risk. she was chucked out of herjob and most remarkable doing this hearing, when this woman was offering startling allegations about this smear campaign conducted by the white house against their own ambassador in the ukraine, the most startling of all was the revelation that while she was giving evidence, trump was treating negatively against her saying everything this woman does
11:48 pm
terms too bad. look at somalia. as though somalia was her fault. as they what happened there was her fault stopped it was interpreted by the chairman of the committee, quite properly in my view, as an attempt to intimidate a witness. i'm just going to take the last sentence of the street, quoting directly. "it is aus the street, quoting directly. "it is a us president's absolute right to appoint ambassadors". of course it is, but it is not his right to intimidate them while they are giving evidence. impeachment, will it happen? everybody is saying it is another case of this notion of teflon trump. it is, and he is teflon. he has been until this point. the other thing, this picture oi'i point. the other thing, this picture on the front of the independent, the other half of the story today is roger stone, his one—time close confidant who has been found guilty oi'i confidant who has been found guilty on all seven charges against him and is the latest in a line of six or seven of trump's in a circle to have been convicted, including poor metaphors, michael cohen. but doesn't look good for him either. ——
11:49 pm
paul manafort, michael cohen. it is tempting to think it is building, but i cannot help but think that will not be penetrated. well, impeachment, they will not get it through the senate. let's turn finally to the guardian. love the story, yet it is also very worrying asa story, yet it is also very worrying as a parent. 3.5 million young adults are still living at home. of course, adults are still living at home. of course , we adults are still living at home. of course, we noticed, but the 3.5 million figure is really startling. of course, you know, tuition fees have been hampering young people for a long time now. a competitive employment market, everything that has gone into creating this culture where people are coming home from university, if they have gone there, and they are not able to then move out again. 3.5 million, and the stories has meant a far more likely to stay with their parents, which i thought was particularly interesting. because they get that close washed and meals cooked. interesting. because they get that close washed and meals cookedlj close washed and meals cooked.” wonder if the age group has gone up as well, it says 20—34 —year—olds. to have your children still living you at the age of 34, we ran an
11:50 pm
article in the telegraph this week which really highlighted this, a couple of parents who had their three daughters come home from university and bring their boyfriends with them, and i think one of their friends had moved in, and actually the parents ended up leaving the family home and moving out into a flat elsewhere. it is funny, but it isn't funny. this is a real problem, principally because, as this article says, by house prices. unless you have got a rich mother or father, you cannot prices. unless you have got a rich mother orfather, you cannot get prices. unless you have got a rich mother or father, you cannot get on the housing ladder. we have known this for donkeys' years, but this is category proof. i suppose there is this movement, you strike out, you rent for a little bit, then reality really kicks in and you think, i need a house, and that is what a lot of older children go back home, you know, late 20s into their 30s, as well. you have got a while to wait before yours are staying with you again. we're not going to go there! that was off—camera we were talking about that. the sad truth is, by that time, it is too late to start saving this economy. anyway. claire
11:51 pm
and john, thank you very much. pleasure. and thank you for watching. that's it for the papers tonight. 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.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you john stapleton and claire cohen. goodbye. hello, and here is the latest from bbc sport. we will start tonight at london's 02 arena as the defending champion, alexander zverev, has just knocked rafael nadal out of the atp finals. he has done it by beating daniil medvedev in straight sets, as craig templeton explains. back in a tournament where the calculations
11:52 pm
can bea tournament where the calculations can be a little cloudy, tonight it was simple. a victory for alexander zverev would see him into the semifinals, and daniil medvedev making victory, it would be rafael nadal in the final four. to do it, but would need more poise than boris becker showed. zverev was up for that challenge, reading the russian‘s advances and racing into a 2-0 russian‘s advances and racing into a 2—0 lead. medvedev showed flashes of the kind of tenancy is capable of, but on the big points there were some wild lashes, zverev looking determined to defend his title. medvedev was criticised in his attitude and defeat to natal on wednesday, but in the second set he looked, and was seeing things clearer. —— nadal. but he was still unable to break zverev‘s serve, and that means one thing. tie—break. this is where zverev took his chance, first finding the baseline and then finding the ace to send him through to the final four. and to send the world number one home.
11:53 pm
so the defending champion, alexander zverev, is through. it means well number one rafael nadal has to go home, despite coming back to beat stephane tsitsipas earlier today. rafael nadal had to come back from one set down to beat the greek youngster, and while nadal showed the grit, determination and never say die attitude, i9 the grit, determination and never say die attitude, 19 time grand slam champion has yet to win the season—ending tournament. now, several top british athletes are threatening to sue the british olympic association over sponsorship regulations. mo farah, katarina johnson thompson and adam generally are among those listed in a legal letter that was sent to the boa today. they are arguing that by not being able to promote their own sponsors during the biggest moment in their careers, it reduces their earning potential. there is many different things that restrict athletes, and for us, it is giving every athlete the opportunity to go out and create their own marketing
11:54 pm
opportunities and, yeah, they don't have to work a full—time job. 99% of athletes are working a full—time job and do not have device or platform to come out and speak against the boa and against rural 40 because they are scared of what might happen against it. onto football, and uefa can continue with the investigation into manchester city's finances after the court of arbitration for sport has found in our favour. city had gone to cas to challenge the legitimacy of the financial fairplay probe, but failed. uefa's financial control body will now hold a hearing about theirfindings. control body will now hold a hearing about their findings. city could face possible ban from european football. it is the final day of the world para—athletics football. it is the final day of the world pa ra—athletics championships in dubai, and there has been a british gold in the race running 100 metres. kaylee hagar won the race in its first appearance at the championships. britain's ali simpson
11:55 pm
won silver. there was also another british 1— two in the men's race, gavin drysdale winning gold and rafi solomon coming second. the formula 1 world champion lewis hamilton says he wants reassurances about his mercedes future before committing to a new deal beyond next year, with the title wrapped up, hamilton was fifth fastest in second practice at the brazilian grand prix this evening. williams‘ driver, robert can began the session with a heavy crash at turn three, from which he emerged unscathed. sebastian vettel was quickest in his ferrari. that is all from me. goodbye for now. there is some more rain in the forecast this weekend, but hopefully not as much as we have seen in recent days or throughout the autumn so far. it is looking like some places may well break records. sheffield this autumn is very close to the previous record. in
11:56 pm
nottingham, provisional figures suggest that we may just have exceeded the previous autumn record. there is a bit more of autumn to come, of course. and through this weekend, some more showery rain in the forecast but also some drier and brighter interludes. it is quite a complex weather pattern, low pressure a cross complex weather pattern, low pressure across continental europe. this frontal system in the west, the two making something of a pincer movement, bringing areas of cloud and showery rain in our direction. in between, well, a slice of clear skies, under which it is a cold start for northern ireland and scotland, some frost in places and fog patches as well across northern scotland, some of which could be quite slow to clear. we start off with some brighter skies in the north—west of the uk. it is likely to cloud over as the day wears on. through southern and eastern scotla nd through southern and eastern scotland into northern england and parts of the midlands, we will see splashes of rain at times, the odd shower dangling down into pembrokeshire and cornwall. in the south—east of england, the shallow, but he had a decent chance of seeing brighton ‘s weather through the day.
11:57 pm
another chilly day but not as windy as it has been. as you can see through saturday night we continue to see these areas of cloud and showery rain floating around the map, into sunday, it is likely we will see some showery rain at times through northern england and down into parts of the midland and wales. some of that rain could be on the happy side, still some showers dangling into temperature and commonwealth. brightening up for northern ireland and scotland through the day. still single digit temperatures for most of us. as we move out of sunday and into monday, here comes a little bump in the isobars, a little ridge of high pressure, and that should settle things down for the start of the new working week. monday is going to be a day when we do get to dry out, yes, this brisk northerly wind will bring some showers into north sea coastal counties, but for the majority, it is dry, there is some sunshine, it is still going to feel quite chilly. as we had deep into the week it does turn more u nsettled. the week it does turn more unsettled. rain, which will be happiest in the west, it will often be windy, but it will start to turn
