let us have a closer look at this. let's start with the telegraph. mo, corbin refuses to apologise to dues. ——jew. corbin refuses to apologise to dues. -- jew. it feels like summer he seems to be the hardest word. i think there was already a letter this morning from the chief rabbi and another date of negative headlines forjeremy corbyn and labour party and is really a succession of this failure to deal with anti—semitism quickly and effectively, i think, with anti—semitism quickly and effectively, ithink, which with anti—semitism quickly and effectively, i think, which has led to this break—out of trust within the jewish community. to this break—out of trust within thejewish community. clearly not thejewish community. clearly not the headlines labour wanted to see but why not say sorry? rachel, should he have apologised?” but why not say sorry? rachel, should he have apologised? i don't think it would have heard. if only
10:46 pm
for the upset cause. he could've done that a conditional apology at least. that would have avoided what i'iow least. that would have avoided what now transpired, which is the headlines of him refusing to apologise for times when grilled by andrew neil. by the way, i don't think anyone comes out of an injured neil interview particular well. —— and andrew neil interview. not to downplay, but is pretty fierce experience. yeah, this follows the chief rabbi saying that the labour leader was not fit for high office, which personally i wish he had not said that in the middle of an election campaign. i do understand the community leaders want to represent their communities and this isa very represent their communities and this is a very real visceral issue for the britishjewish is a very real visceral issue for the british jewish community, is a very real visceral issue for the britishjewish community, but i don't think it's appropriate to make those comments in the middle of a general election. but the point was
10:47 pm
thatjeremy corbyn is not fit for office because of the whole mishandling of the anti—semitism... so it is totally pertinent stomach oi’ so it is totally pertinent stomach or no, it is not, because then the implication is either parties are handling it better. but i think is manifestly not the case. let's have a look at the next headline on the metro. they've also got a picture, mo, of the launch. today was the launch of their faith ma nifesto, manifesto, with some welcome proposals to tackle inequality across society for all faith groups, etc, and that's really been drowned out. it has. in terms of campaigns, this is the kind of picture you want to see. it's a shame the words do not match. it deftly has been
10:48 pm
drowned out. i don't think the chief rabbi's letter was just kind of in isolation. there was panorama investigations into this. clearly, what the chief rabbi felt he needed to do, speak out. i also think it is very important to not engage in this kind of, not for this to become a race to the bottom of who can be the most racist or the most offensive. this is not... this is the politics of the gutter and this is not what we should be seeing in our society today. the point is that people feel they have to call it out, and we have had boris johnson's letterbox comments andy islamophobia concerns isom within the cure is there to party —— and
10:49 pm
the cure is there to party —— and the islamophobia concerns with some inside the conservative party. rachel, there were some criticism of the fact couple of... questionable histories. venting who is in your main voting pool is basic. it is. i think this race and faith manifesto isa think this race and faith manifesto is a really strong move for him. it is a really strong move for him. it is looking at him introducing policies such as putting the issue of empire and injustices of empire into the national curriculum as well as setting up an education institute for teaching about the legacy of slavery, as well as initiating a review into the far right. this all following a consultation, i think 1700 people responded. and then looking at things like pay differences... this is all really solid policy. very little coverage
10:50 pm
of any of that. because many feel they did not tackle this key question. for me, ithink they did not tackle this key question. for me, i think that's a shame. i think that's issue when theseissues shame. i think that's issue when these issues don't get... me personally? i think this is... first of all, i am not quit until any jewish person in this country how to vote and how to prioritise this book, but i'm going to vote for labour because i calibrate my vote oi'i labour because i calibrate my vote on the basis of lots of things, including the labour party's socio— economic policies, including their policy on brexit, including the policies they have rolled out on education, on housing, on all sorts of things, and included the fact that i absolutely fear a boris johnson nativist rate government which i think will be damaging for all minorities, including jewish populations in britain. that is very clear. let's move on to the
10:51 pm
independent, because they have got this headline in a story inside, the 25 constituencies that can win a final say and they are saying tackle voting and qcs can block a tory majority. of course, this question of whether we could get a second referendum that you... amber rudd, conservative minister, set to step down now for what about this question about tactical voting could block a tory majority? the polls moving around a bit. the polls are the polls. they will move around. i think the key thing is how organised this is. you have seen some of the parties working together quite well, the lib dems and the greens and cut plaid —— plaid of where to stand. you can see all effective this can be. ultimately, the prime minister
10:52 pm
needs to have a working majority to be able to push their his plan for brexit and anything else that he wa nts to brexit and anything else that he wants to deliver, so 25 is quite an important number. but i still think that the biggest or to the conservatives is from the brexit party standing in labour held seats come oi’ party standing in labour held seats come or they can potentially split the vote to leave and letting in a lib dem or labour candidate and then actually helping to achieve the one thing that for roche does not want, which is a second referendum —— for roche does not want. it seemed that jeremy corbyn was not doing so well in polls. it was unlikely he would get a majority. that was what he said. it is all fluid. they... if thatis said. it is all fluid. they... if that is what they are worried about. michael hasn't seen —— heseltine but
10:53 pm
they are talking about tactical voting. i am not your how this is going to play out. i don't think anyone in the labour leadership looks at the polls and smiles, but neither do i think do any one has given up either. we have seena any one has given up either. we have seen a slight shift entity manifesto and the leader debates of last week. the labour party has a very strong ground game, it has canvassers and campaigns across the country. 2 million people registered to vote in the past few weeks. most of those are young people. i think that is highly unlikely they're going to be conservative voters. there is still a lot to turn an old ticket as possible —— and i don't think it is possible —— and i don't think it is possible to say with any sort of sense of definitive this... very quickly. do you thinkjeremy corbyn would step down if there was a
10:54 pm
laboursnp would step down if there was a labour snp alliance, with the price of keeping, putting labour in government? i think that is a fa nta sy. government? i think that is a fantasy. if jeremy corbyn's government? i think that is a fantasy. ifjeremy corbyn's labour mac government wins the election, then he is the people who voted for to lead sawbuck —— to lead. that does not make sense to me. he was going to lead now he is in. lots of speculation. let's move on for some the guardian has the story about the judge banning anti—lgbt the story about the judge banning a nti — lg bt protesters the story about the judge banning anti—lg bt protesters near school. this again has had some attention but some resolution. some resolution. i think the right resolution. i think the right resolution. 21st century britain with pluralistic values and a
10:55 pm
diverse society that we live in, people should be able to go, children should be able to do to school, go to learn what the rest of the countries learning the this is talking about pitting one school against... but we have common values, which i think a very important and paramount, and values, which i think a very importantand paramount, and i values, which i think a very important and paramount, and i think all children who are in the education system should be learning the same thing and growing up in a world, ina the same thing and growing up in a world, in a country, where they are accepting... one quote that six out for me is, adam and eve, not adam and steve, which is something you would probably be hearing 30 years ago, not today. you're going back to... this is the protesters. the protesters. but the common theme is
10:56 pm
identity. you're going back to someone's religion, how they look or who they love. and that is, again, 2019, why are we having these kind of debates and discussions? let me just quickly move on, if i can come the times. daily coffee can cut the risk of high blood pressure. do you have a coffee a day? more than a few! certainly do reelection campaign, iwill few! certainly do reelection campaign, i will tell you what! but apparently it doesn't matter if it is decaffeinated. it is the compounds in the coffee itself. but if you have more than four cups, it blows the benefits. i don't know if we will bust that... i think we have. all of us! thank you so much, mo and rachel. we will be seeing you again in half an hourfor another look at the papers. we should have more in front of us by then.
10:57 pm
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. thanks again, mo hussein and rachel shabi. i will be back again with the top stories. hello, a very good evening to you. another day passes, and we have seen an awful lot of that sort of whether. there is a change under way, but don't rush. there is no rush because, through wednesday can in at low pressure is still very much the driving force of our weather. what does it mean to you on the ground ? weather. what does it mean to you on the ground? an awful lot of rain to come at some point, gradually drifting further north, blustery, showering conditions across the south through the course of the morning. something a little bit drier in the afternoon but another banner of rain across the north and northwest of scotland. you might
10:58 pm
even get some dry weather. you might get a bit of sunshine. but i rain is ever present across the eastern side of scotla nd ever present across the eastern side of scotland through the evening and into the northeast of england. because below, given to any four hours, but only have drifted that far into the weather front is still dangling back into the british isles. but it becomes the boundary between the mild air that we have sort of enjoyed thus far this week and something a good deal cooler and fresher which eventually wins out across the greater part of scotland is the rangers further south. through northern ireland to north of england, the north midlands, north wales. further south, england, the north midlands, north wales. furthersouth, less the england, the north midlands, north wales. further south, less the way of winds, and it is and crisper. it is that regime which wins out. the high—pressure is set. it's a cold and frosty star away from the far southwest. it's a windy old do and it's a northerly down those eastern shores. despite the presence of a lot of sunshine and a lot of dry weather, there are, look at this,
10:59 pm
wednesday, wednesday is... that is how we start the weekend. cold and bright, dry and frosty until, again, in the southwestern corner, a new set of weather fronts. it is cloudy, wet and windy here. eventually across the bristol channel. elsewhere, a really decent sort of dry bright, the other phase of autumn, but it is also only 3—7d. the rain eventually slides away across the channel back into the near continent. sunday leaves a banner of cloud across the southern counties. the onshore breeze, he quite noticeable one, produces a drizzly shower or to across the east of england, east of scotla nd across the east of england, east of scotland and, again, despite the presence of sunshine away from the areas i mentioned, it's only 4—8 degrees. frosty by night eventually and chilly by day, eventually.
11:00 pm
this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00pm: the chief rabbi accuses jeremy corbyn of allowing anti—semitism to poison the labour party, but the labour leader says all forms of racism are unacceptable. wouldn't you like to take this opportunity tonight to apologise to the british jewish community for what has happened? what i will say is this. i am determined that our society be safe for people of all faiths. i don't want anyone to be feeling insecure in our society. but the conservative party has also been accused by the the muslim council of britain of failing to deal with islamophobia.
