dry day for cloud but much of a dry day for england and, some sunny spells around. some sunshine for eastern scotland, generally for scotland and northern ireland it will be busy with cloud around. milder in the far north—west, io with cloud around. milder in the far north—west, 10 degrees but a chilly day elsewhere. do tuesday the bit of a repeat performance again, cold for england and with foster and —— frost and fog developing. and a weather front approaching here so less cold, 5-9d front approaching here so less cold, 5—9d here, temperatures sub zero in some rural spots again with some fog developing. our area of high pressure will be slowly slipping away, we will see this first weather front move into northern and western areas through wednesday. so some rain initially for northern ireland and then into scotland. as it moves its way southwards and eastwards it tends to die out with just a band of
11:31 pm
cloud and rain. behind it, quite a few showers, nine or 10 degrees but windy. further south, some sunshine but quite chilly and it could be that fog lingering across the far south—east. on thursday we see substantial change. a more vigorous area of low pressure will arrive to bring a windy day for all but very windy across parts of scotland with gales in the north and west and persistent and heavy rain for western scotland where we could see some localised flooding. further south, some sunshine, it's going to be milder. temperatures io— south, some sunshine, it's going to be milder. temperatures 10— ii degrees. it looks like it will turn u nsettled degrees. it looks like it will turn unsettled as well to thursday night and into friday with that rain sniffing there slipping south eastwards. maybe not quite as windy but what you will notice on fridays how mild it will be, particularly for england and. fridays that's a pretty wet across northern and western areas, sunshine will appear, a few showers in the north and west that will spreads out eastwards, but we could still see a bit of rain across southern england as those weather fronts clear away. temperatures there in the low teens, we could see 13 degrees widely across parts of england and. that weather frankly is there as we head into the weekend, a ridge of high pressure, we think will build into the weekend. winds will turn lighter but we will also see slightly cooler
11:32 pm
air pushing into the northern half of the country. lighter winds, because of that ridge of high pressure it could be quite a cold start to saturday, the mist and fog around the generally dry with sunshine stopped it didn't feel too bad with the light winds but it will feel cooler across the northern out of the country. temperatures back into single digits we just about holding on to double digits in the south. the on the weekend, into the following week, it looks like we will see a fairly into letting jet strea m will see a fairly into letting jet stream that will steer areas of low pressure towards our shores, interspersed with ridges of high pressure. so it will be relatively flip—flopping weather, generally u nsettled flip—flopping weather, generally unsettled thanks to these areas of low pressure bringing bouts of further rain and fairly strong winds at times, too. temperatures will a lwa ys at times, too. temperatures will always hover around near average, sometimes a little above, sometimes a little bit below. that's how it's looking at the moment. stay tuned.
11:33 pm
hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. police have launched a murder investigation after a 12—year—old boy was killed in a fatal collision with a car, near a school in loughton in essex. five others have also been injured in the incident mourners in cambridge have held a vigilforjack merritt and saskia jones, both killed in the london bridge attack. the lawyer for five ofjeffrey epstein‘s accusers has said he wants prince andrew to testify as a witness in the us court cases. president trump has touched down in the the uk for a nato summit — as part of a three—day visit. as two weeks of talks on climate change begin in madrid, the un secretary—general says the world must end its "war against nature."
11:34 pm
bringing us tomorrow. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. does abour your organisation. we are a think—tank and we argue the economy is not working the people on the planet we try to come up with ideas on how the government might reform the economy. some of those things discussed in madrid this week. climate change will be a big pa rt week. climate change will be a big part of that and the fact we will have to change a lot of what we do and unfortunately, our politics is not caught up with that. you do a lot of strategic consultancy work.
11:35 pm
lots of companies and individuals. often because they will appear in a paper like this. they need some help. this putting the sticky pasture. most of the pages are now the metro leads on claims made tonight to bbc panorama by virginia giuffre — formerly victoria roberts — the woman who claimed she was trafficked to have underage sex with prince andrew, and who is now calling on the british public to support her fight for justice. prince andrew denies the allegations. the daily mail covers the same story and calls it ‘andrew‘s new tv humiliation‘ the guardian has an exclusive story with the father of jack merrit, who was killed in the london bridge terror attack on friday a vigil was held today in memory of the two victims of the attack, and a photo of mourners fronts the telegraph. however, the paper leads on claims
11:36 pm
thatjeremy corbyn‘s ‘nhs for sale documents' were ‘disinformation‘. on its front page — the sun — trails its interview with the prime minister who says jeremy corbyn is a security risk who will ‘bow down to britain's enemies'. the financial times warns that brussels is ready to cut off the city of london's access to the post—brexit market — that's according to the eu's new financial services chief. the mirror reports on a ‘killer driver on the run‘ after a 12 year old boy was killed outside his school gates, and others injured by a driver who targeted the school then fled the scene. and the times says britains biggest retailers are pushing shoppers into ‘record debts‘ with their credit schemes. should we begin with this front of the times, very striking image. the girlfriend of jack merritt being hugged by presumably her parents or family orfriends hugged by presumably her parents or family or friends as they mark the
11:37 pm
visual, one—minute silence held in respect of them. what have you made of the coverage to the story? this is day three for most of them. it‘s a really powerful picture in the grief ansaru is there and it‘s palatable for everyone to see. the entire coverage of the story has been really sympathetic. there is something and maybe it‘s the fact that it could be any one of us, the fa ct that it could be any one of us, the fact that that it could be any one of us, the fa ct that lots that it could be any one of us, the fact that lots of londoners or people outside london have walked across london bridge and so it feels very real. terrorism is terrorism, because it is so random and it can happen to everyone or anyone and i think the entire nation‘s heart goes out to the family, absolutely. we have this other storyjust below the photograph, extremists face curbs on movement. because usman khan was
11:38 pm
released having completed 50% of his sentence. you are supposed to be monitored and have certain conditions but there seems to be doubts about whether that is possible. also the idea that actually some of the conditions and whether they prevent something happening is obviously very questionable and there have been lots of debates over the weekend about that in this particular story is focusing on the fact that every terrorist was no will be required to meet their probation team and all will have their restrictions reviewed and new limits on their movements and associations could be imposed. they‘re talking about cities in particular as being a significant threat, given this particular individual came into london since clear, it was mentioned by the prime minister of the weekend about how many people of interest there were, which clearly i think lot of people, is people hadn‘t considered the numbers were that
11:39 pm
height also this has now been decided this is something that needs to be done as an immediate action because they need to see if they can track some of these people better. we‘ve had so many bits of counterterrorism legislation, what‘s gone before and builds on the next time and it does raise the question of how that translates into not only perceptions of safety, because they have police out everywhere, to reassure people that were there because there are things we can specifically do but the question of how effective this stuff ever is, how effective this stuff ever is, how much you could flood the place with police or lock people up and throw away the key, as a quote from borisjohnson, throw away the key, as a quote from boris johnson, whether throw away the key, as a quote from borisjohnson, whether that throw away the key, as a quote from boris johnson, whether that will ever be adequate to deal with an idea. absolutely unlooked, the thing is, the automatic response in moments like this is for when people are worried and they are scared. it's are worried and they are scared. it‘s frost a sort of double down on
11:40 pm
tough on crime, top on the perpetrators and there has to be a bit of that that the truth is, we have an amazing counterterrorist networking system and actually the number of incidents, bubbly against the number of bits completely are tiny so we are getting lots right but you are going to get these moments where we do get something absolutely wrong and i think the key is not to then have a knee—jerk reaction but the key is to figure out exactly what went wrong with this particular incident and to allow the criminal justice this particular incident and to allow the criminaljustice system to work in the best possible way and i think there has to be a bit of caution because i can imagine in the context of an election, the instinct is to be, got to double down and throw away the key and get these quys throw away the key and get these guys and part of that hypes up the fear as well. it‘s dangerous. guys and part of that hypes up the fear as well. it's dangerous. there has to be a bit of sympathy for the
11:41 pm
politicians, we're ten days from polling day. the public are not going to say, let's talk this after the election, we want answers now. postal votes and start this week surfaced some people, this is the election. we simply can't say let's push this issue away and we will talk about it in a couple of weeks when we decided to. these are some of the decisions that are going to affect, this stuff is going to affect, this stuff is going to affect how people vote. let's look at the sun. the sun has taken the warnings about the impactjamie corbin might have on counterterrorism and security because of his political views and his ability to rise to this challenge. the pm saying, he is a genuine threat. he is not the first person to accuse him of being a threat to britain. this is kind of dangerous ground to walk because it
11:42 pm
can promote as much of a reaction or counter reaction to what you said is what you would hope to revoke by saying it in the first place. this is the interesting bit. we do not know whether this interview was always in the grid to be done at this time. got world leaders in town, it's a real contrast with borisjohnson, the prime minister, the statesman, talking about how he's going to keep you safe and all the stuff versus versus jeremy corbyn a significant threat. is this because this was always on the agenda to do, to go on the offensive and use a key interview to actually go after his arrival or has it been dialled up simply because of where we are at the moment and we don't know. it can be seen in lots of different ways but ultimately this is the stuff that to be honest has
11:43 pm
beenin is the stuff that to be honest has been in the tory playbook before. this is talking about who jeremy corbyn is, spent time with before jeremy adams from sinn fein backed jeremy adams from sinn fein backed jeremy corbyn, there were suggestions on social media that he had and all that stuff is part of the narrative which is which is would you risk your country in safety with this man. there is a question ofjudgement safety with this man. there is a question of judgement and safety with this man. there is a question ofjudgement and when it comes back to this sort of atrocity and attack, actually we need our prime minister to be a statesman, we don‘t need him to be the sizing it and off the back of a weekend where insta ntly, and off the back of a weekend where instantly, he went on the attack and started blaming it on labour, tab this sort of intervention that again plays into politicising, it‘s kind of crass and they were always going to go on the attack with this but it‘s about timing and a time we
11:44 pm
expect them to be acting like a prime minister, a statesman, to be laying crass, dirty, gutter politics feels unbecoming. but on the front page we have so little on the context in which this is said. there is no reference being made which is why i'm saying we cannotjudge the reason or rationale behind this. anyone who reads this off the back of seeing these stories would read exactly the link. it isjustified to talk about what is going on, issues and security. the issue is the optics of change, whether as an agenda to stick to that or not. and we had a bit of that whenjo cox was killed, for a few days, the tone, it really through the politicians, and
11:45 pm
even the campaigning at the weekend through politicians but then some people campaign. lots of people had scheduled tweets that went out on social me they were still amount expect a fair amount going on. they managed to screw it up for themselves. the guardian, i love this story in the presentation of it because it‘s taking the victim ‘s faces, ina because it‘s taking the victim ‘s faces, in a way these things were, one of the most recognisable faces of the last 48 hours and using his passion for his subject and converting that into an article that is designed presumably to reassure and inspire but also give people a bit more context about why these campaigns have grown up and why donald trump‘s public persona has been criticised. this is a really powerful
11:46 pm
intervention by his dad that paints a picture. he was about fairness, fighting for justice and a picture. he was about fairness, fighting forjustice and the programme that he was dedicating himself to, the learning together programme was all about rehabilitation and seeing the best in people, going to give people a second chance. and i think there is an inspiring story there. and particularly against some of the knee—jerk automatic political reaction to this, having this is a counterpoint that says well, actually, no. we can approach this differently. it does a disservice to him, his life, his death, by forgetting that. and in all of this, in all of the bluster and the politics and all the things politicians are saying, try to remember that actually the purpose of our justice system remember that actually the purpose of ourjustice system is to try to rehabilitate people and to believe that we can do better. and we won‘t a lwa ys that we can do better. and we won‘t always get it right. but that principle has to be at the heart... it's tragic when we get it wrong. it took one of the flag waivers and the
11:47 pm
torchbearers for that very issue, that man's young life, that is — you read these words and i know his dad says he doesn't want to politicise theissue, says he doesn't want to politicise the issue, but how sad thing he cared about and was passionate about has taken his life. that is what is so sad about this situation. there‘s something inspiring about his dad, he could be responding with anger, hatred, revenge, but he‘s not. he is joe being a point, incomplete grief. i think it is something we should all take away from this. the dad in the article is trying to look very positively on both his son‘s achievements but also the more positive message of it isn‘t all going to hell in a handcart, we can make a difference but we need to be focused. he probably told his family
11:48 pm
with great pride about his involvement. so it‘s sad when it‘s gone wrong, it has gone so tragically wrong. and in the guardian we have that picture in the article that we will continue on, i meant to say borisjohnson, not donald trump... was that a freudian slip? social media is very understanding. mr trump is not very far away. the welcome to the uk, mr president and mrs trump. please enjoy your visit and don‘t take anything to personally. we will be sending a cheeseburger to the room. we‘ve talked about the election campaign, we‘ve talked about the images of the politicians, let‘s talk about something else that has developed a night. the one paper
11:49 pm
that has managed to get this on its front page, it‘s quite a striking image, this is the mirror, this is a p pa re ntly image, this is the mirror, this is apparently the driver targeting his vehicle at children waiting outside a school in essex. i know this has resonance for you , a school in essex. i know this has resonance for you, joe? a school in essex. i know this has resonance for you, joe ?|j a school in essex. i know this has resonance for you, joe? i hadn't known about this story tonight, but the first thing i thought when i saw this cover was oh, my goodness, don't tell me it is another terrorist attack? i was a chair governor for many years at a primary school and i was almost obsessed by the idea that schools were such a vulnerable target, and thankfully this is not the case here. but obviously there is some very serious circumstances around this happening and we don't know what those are yard. but my immediate reaction was just thinking, my goodness, i can rememberthe just thinking, my goodness, i can remember the bbc showed the bodyguard when they actually did have an attack is part of that programme. it reminded me of how it was actually really chilling because ican rememberthinking was actually really chilling because i can remember thinking about how schools are so vulnerable. we both have children and we have talked
11:50 pm
about the school pickup, how chaotic it can be. children are excited as they come out of school and when they come out of school and when they get to my son's age, they are a bit more jaded. but actually, you know, a 12—year—old coming out of school, talking about their day to their parents are on their way home, whatever, the schools are... there are huge amounts of traffic. the ca rs are are huge amounts of traffic. the cars are parked up at are huge amounts of traffic. the cars are parked up et cetera. goodness knows what happened here and it's awful to think a young boy has been killed by what the mirror is calling a maniac. but we obviously don't know the full circumstances behind it. i'm really, really terrified. it seems to be suggesting that the hit—and—run was trying to target two different schools and the perpetrator potentially new kids, it was deliberate? we are yet to find that out and get the details, but as a pa rent out and get the details, but as a parent it is literally your worst nightmare. it is. it's move onto the
11:51 pm
i newspaper. this is quite interesting. we often get papers at the end of a campaign, what the i newspaper has done here is take some of the recent headlines and even the older ones and bring them together into a montage saying the media won‘t decide the election, you, the voters will decide the election. it's an interesting front page because your reaction is ok, what's the point? you have a look at the headlines that they've got and you can see just how differently the campaign so far has been reported. and i presume the i newspaper has some sort of editorial or commentary that essentially says we will bring you the news, you make your decision on how you vote, because perhaps they are not taking sides as they probably perceive that many other newspapers do, and they are taking a very independent stance on this and hence their name coming from that,
11:52 pm
thatis hence their name coming from that, that is their brand. but it is a bit depressing when you see the coverage like this. you can think to yourself, i'm not surprised so many people don't really want to vote because they've had enough!|j people don't really want to vote because they've had enough! i think for me the sort of two things is it‘s interesting, particularly in print media which has become really polarised. and you get some of the, whether it is a daily — the daily mail or the telegraph, they are pushing a clear conservative, conservative line and anti— labour line that i find quite strange because in the end we expect our journalists to be independent. it‘s 0k journalists to be independent. it‘s ok if they have abandoned, but that kind of ability to challenge both sides doesn‘t feel like it is there in the debate. so increasingly the public read the papers and think this is kind of propaganda for want ofa this is kind of propaganda for want of a better word, and are finding other modes of being informed, bringing in social media, will which
11:53 pm
increasingly most people are getting their news from, but only snippets of news. there is a huge role for our media to inform us, doing public broadcast, but i don‘t know that they necessarily have the confidence and faith and the trust from the public to do that role. i think it‘s on all sides. notjust one side. of course the bbc are trying to be impartial in the middle of all of it. we try. we keep trying. birds and there with the times —— and there. we have these stories reminding people about debt and finances and the stories focusing on the fact that some of our high street giants are making money out of credits teams. great fight in the only —— quite frighteningly, the
11:54 pm
times says in the next year to january —— in the year to january, revenues rose 12%, these are people out there buying things they can't afford and they're probably getting sucked into credit deals they should not be getting into. if you can't afford to buy a christmas —— it at christmas, you probably can't buy it at any time. there is a huge housing debt bubble which has grown over time, in part because some people having borrow to get by, but others have been lulled into sort of credit for buying consumer bits. there is a responsibility i think on the part of retailers, were charging huge, exorbitant interest rates for that. i love you very quickly one brief thing each of you won‘t be buying this christmas? 0h! thing each of you won‘t be buying this christmas? oh! no mince pies? thank you both. lovely chart. coming
11:55 pm
up thank you both. lovely chart. coming up next is sport. —— lovely chat. good evening. i‘m gavin ramjaun and this is your latest sports news. he‘s widely regarded as the goat — the greatest of all time — and tonight, lionel messi further enhanced his reputation as the best footballer on the planet. the barcelona and argentina forward won the prestigious ballon d‘or for a record sixth time, beating liverpool‘s virgil van dijk to the award at a ceremony this evening in paris. the barcelona and argentina star scored 54 goals for club and country in the 2018—19 season. messi won spain‘s la liga title with barca this year and led argentina to third place at the copa america injuly.
11:56 pm
translation: ten years ago, i was awarded my first ballon d‘or here in paris. i remember, i came with my three brothers. i was 22 years old and everything that was happening to me, it was unthinkable. now, ten yea rs me, it was unthinkable. now, ten years later, i have received the sixth one in a totally different and special moment in my personal life, with my wife and my three sons. the usa midfielder megan rapinoe won the women‘s award after leading her country to the women‘s world cup title, scoring six goals in the process. rapinoe was co—captain at the tournament this summer where the usa lifted their fourth world cup. rapinoe took the trophy, ahead of england‘s lucy bronze in second, her fellow american alex morgan came third. imean like, i mean like, i can‘t believe i‘m actually the one winning it in this field. it‘s been such an incredible year and women‘s football is likely to have every single one of these amazing players every year. and it
11:57 pm
pushes us and pushes me to be the best player i can. the draw for the fa cup third round was made earlier. it‘s the stage when premier league teams join the competition and there is a real classic to look forward to. 16! everton! liverpool are at home to everton. so the merseyside derby is the stand out tie and of course they also meet this wednesday in the premier league. jurgen klopp‘s reds are eight points clear at the top of the league, while everton sit two points above the relegation zone, with pressure mounting on boss marco silva. it isn‘t the only all premier league tie though, wolves will face manchester united at home while arsenal will host championship side leeds at the emirates. full details of all the ties are over on the bbc sport website. meanwhile, there was a shock in tonight‘s tie in the fa cup second round. solihull moors looked like they were cruising, 3—0 up with less than half—an—hour to go, against rotherham.
11:58 pm
but the league one side staged an incredible comeback, michael smith with equaliser, and then the winner in stoppage time. 4—3 it finished to rotherham. they‘ll face hull city next. boxing, anthonyjoshua says he chose to reinvent himself after defeat by andy ruinunior and feels different going into saturday‘s rematch. joshua lost his three world titles to ruiz injune in a shock defeat. this fight will take place in saudi arabia, but the lack of a home advantage doesn‘t bother the british fighter. i don‘t know about home advantage because it‘s a fight, isn‘t it? do you know what i mean? so i don‘t think home advantage matters, especially in the heavyweight division. so wherever it is going to be, i‘m going to go in with that mindset of a win. it's amazing, i've been working for this my whole life and it'sjust been working for this my whole life and it's just a been working for this my whole life and it'sjust a dream come true. i'm in my dreams come true, all this
11:59 pm
ha rd in my dreams come true, all this hard work and dedication of been doing since i was six years old. he finally paid off and i know i've still got more history to do and that's going to be december seven. that‘s all the sport for now. england‘s cricketers are under way on the final day of their second test against new zealand. follow all the action over on the bbc sport website. that‘s bbc.co.uk/sport.
12:00 am
i‘m rico hizon in singapore, and this is newsday on the bbc. the headlines: the lawyer for five ofjeffrey epstein‘s accusers has said he wants prince andrew to testify as a witness in the us court cases. he knows what happened, i know what happened and there is only one of us telling the truth, and i know that‘s me. the prince has denied any involvement. also ahead: the madrid meeting hears how some countries fear they are in a ‘fight to the death‘ as they try to tackle climate change. i‘m kasia madera in london. also in the programme. samoa struggles to control a deadly outbreak of measles,
