could be bright, dry and down so it could be bright, dry and sunny for a while with the weather from pushing into northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england through the date bringing thicker cloud. single figure values in the north but fairly mild in the south. saturday night, the next frontal system moves through to bring another spell of wet and windy weather that should clear through early on sunday and then we are left with sunshine and showers again, another windy day. heavy showers across western areas, wintry over the high ground of scotland here where it will turn chilly. further south, ii or 12 degrees. however the wind will pick up sunday night into monday across the south—west and into parts of wales and the irish sea. gales for a while and the penalty of heavy showers. once that moves through we begin to open the door to something colder from the north as we had out into the start of the following week. for monday, blustery day with many showers across southern blustery day with many showers across southern areas blustery day with many showers across southern areas is the frankly is away, turning dry and sunny.
11:31 pm
still quite windy across eastern areas. but the cold air will be in place, 5— nine celsius. beyond that period, further on into the week it looks like the jetstream will begin to dive to the south of the uk that will allow us to be on the colder side of thejet. will allow us to be on the colder side of the jet. low pressure with us as side of the jet. low pressure with us as well so it remains unsettled with further rain at times but as we move from the middle parts of the latter pa rt move from the middle parts of the latter part of the week, it will open the floodgates to a very cold arctic northerly. so it looks u nsettled, arctic northerly. so it looks unsettled, i think, forfurther ahead forecast with more rain at times but mid week onwards we will see the cold air moving down from the north and that means we will see an increased chance of wintry showers, some snow showers affecting the north and the east of the country and that strong and bitter northerly wind.
11:32 pm
hello. this is bbc news with carrie gracie. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. nato unity unravels after canada's prime ministerjustin trudeau is caught on camera appearing to mock president trump to other leaders. boris johnson insisted there was a wide measure of unity — despite the signs of discord.
11:33 pm

11:34 pm
trump gets the hump is how the metro describes president trump's departure from the nato summit. the paper says he "flew home in a huff" after other world leaders were seen to laugh at him. the telegraph says that families will be £200 better off under borisjohnson's new pledge to cut tax within days of brexit. the i leads on a doctor's claim that nhs cuts killed his mother. the doctor also warns of political failures crippling the health service. the front of the times says that germany is expelling two russian spies for supposedly ordering the murder of a dissident in a berlin park. and speechless is how the daily express describes jeremy corbyn, after it was alleged he doesn't watch the queen's christmas day speech.
11:35 pm
those are the front pages. let's talk through them with our reviewers. kate, you start us off with the front page of the sun. reviewers. kate, you start us off with the front page of the sunm isa with the front page of the sunm is a really striking front page from the sun. they have the door of numberio, and then the sun. they have the door of number 10, and then boris, the sun. they have the door of numberio, and then boris, my ten commandments, ten manifesto were policy commitments stop and the things he wants to do in the first 100 days if he is really did as prime minister. among some of the things he talks about, getting brexit done, we have heard that pledge a million times stop there are plans for a budget in february and to give an £85 tax cut to 31 million workers. these are all the kind of things he can tick off as good, good, good. something for me thatis good, good, good. something for me that is missing from here is a social care. that is not one of his commandments. he said on the steps of downing street how important that was to him stop instead they will look at that as part of a cross—party look at that as part of a cross— party arrangement look at that as part of a cross—party arrangement further down the line. all of this is about building up momentum for that last
11:36 pm
week of their campaigning. so, michael, they are calling this a sacred ten commandments. he's become god! laughter. the secret is mentioned twice on page one. it's going quite file, really —— sacred. it may upset some of the more religious leaders, to be quite honest. in seven days' time there will be a new government. if it does we will hit the ground running. we will do the things that you want us to do. and obviously social care is one they have not done because everyone is scared of that no idea —— and everyone has no idea of how to sort that out. we will get brexit done by the end of january, have the withdrawal agreement done, we will have it all sorted. just leave it with us, is what they are trying to say. otherwise you will get chaos, deadlock, what you have had for the last three years with the other lot. so it is up to you. i think this is
11:37 pm
the message they will keep powering over the weekend into next week, just hammering away and hammering away. they feel as though the nato meeting in the last few days in watford has got in the way of the messaging and now they are back on and they want this all stitched. turning to the front page of the times, covering some of the same territory, but they have got this new slogan, kickstarting a decade of investment in people's priorities. new slogan, kickstarting a decade of investment in people's prioritieslj am investment in people's priorities.” am not event of the slogan. is very ha rd am not event of the slogan. is very hard to say. normally, dominic cummings, he has advised the prime minister, he normally comes up with snappy things that are effective that come through to people, like get brexit done. the people's priorities, this is trying to sell the domestic agenda and the things they want to achieve, if you park brings it to one side these are the optimistic things that might be able to happen in the future. just think it isa to happen in the future. just think it is a really thin list. if it is the people's priorities i think
11:38 pm
there is very little to take away. you have a little bit on education, a bit of investment. talking quite ambitiously about in training in law investment in the nhs. ijust think there is so much more that he could have promised a —— in training in the law. he is getting that idea that all we have been talking about is brexit for the last three years. they also document the 50,000 nurses they have promised, 20,000 believes they have promised, 20,000 believes they have promised, more gps, action on the cost of living —— police they have promised. it is notjust brexit, not just have promised. it is notjust brexit, notjust a bunch of them talking shop every night are doing another vote and another vote and another vote and another vote and another vote and nothing changing. they are desperate to try to make sure they get a decent majority next week and then they can get the country up and running again. do we think the references to free childcare and the tax cuts, that
11:39 pm
thatis childcare and the tax cuts, that that is trying to mop up a few more votes in case there is anyone who hasn't. .. the tax one was announced towards the end of last week. they are wrapping all these things up together. they have dominated on childcare and the lib dems as well. and everything else that labour have offered, donor eggs and unicorns' tea rs offered, donor eggs and unicorns' tears as well that they seem to be offering everyone, the other thing they seem to cut through was the waspi women, women against pension inequality. i think they did have quite a big impact. the tories need to get older that in they will say we will put more into your pocket, 85 paleo, it's better than nothing. it is modest and sensible and then there is utterly unambitious. for me this goes towards that. they look as though they have been over promising and it looks overambitious and stupid and it will bankrupt the country. we turn to labour. the front page of your paper are you responsible for this front page? not
11:40 pm
entirely. the readers are probably not the biggest fans ofjeremy corbyn anyway, but the fact that he doesn't even know when the queen's speech is, seeing the footage of this interview, he doesn't come out of it brilliantly. he doesn't stammer a little bit, he doesn't quite know when it is. there are tribes undiscovered in the amazon who know it is on at 3pm on christmas day, the queen's speech. it is something that you know. it is a bit ofa it is something that you know. it is a bit of a joke. it is something that will cut through. because he does look slightly disconnected with the rest of the country. the oldest joke in the world ‘s people falling asleep in front of the queen's speech at three o'clock after christmas dinner. everyone should know that number, not by law, but eve ryo ne know that number, not by law, but everyone does know it. itjust doesn't sound like the man or woman in the street would know that.” think that he... he doesn't have to watch the queen's speech, but i understand why giving an answer that
11:41 pm
he genuinely does would in —— be in an election period of time be quite helpful. jeremy corbyn has at some points been pretty light in terms of being able to be quick at coming back with answers. one was would you give a christmas present to boris johnson. when given those things he can actually come back with quite a quick answer. but on this when he did fail. at the end of the day, i couldn't care less whether he watches the queen's speech or not. we know he is no huge fan of the royal family... we know he is no huge fan of the royal family. .. if you were a true republican you would know when it was so you could put it on and boo. he just stumbled around it and it was clumsy and a bit of a mess. that was clumsy and a bit of a mess. that was the interview where he was meant to be warm and cuddly and letting you into his private life. what does he do? he said he goes to homeless shelters over the christmas period. that is very worthy. it is. but he
11:42 pm
seems slightly disconnected from the rest of the country on that one. christmas decorations faster than expected is on the front page of the mettraux. donald trump gets the hump is their headline for the end of the nato summit which broke up slightly earlier than expected because there was no conference no press conference. donald trump! trudeau and the rest of them laughed at him over his other press conference that he took a0 minutes over. he said they have done enough press conferences, i am often. they have done enough press conferences, iam often. i've they have done enough press conferences, i am often. i've feel sorry for melania trump. they have got two floors on air force one so they probably keep out of each other‘s way. he had been on his best behaviour for most of it. he had other‘s way. he had been on his best behaviourfor most of it. he had not caused too much chaos. it does not reflect well on trudeau and margaret are, and emmanuel macron. .. reflect well on trudeau and margaret are, and emmanuel macron... they seem to be ganging up. it seems childish that they are there is lingering at the us president. i am not sure anyone has come out too well from this —— sniggering. donald
11:43 pm
trump leaving early, he didn't have to do that, he could have gone through this, done his press conference, he could have made a dignified point if you want to do on nato at 70. we could have reaffirmed the fact that america do contribute by far the most amount of money. he could have restated that again. he has done a pretty childish early in the past. there was an expectation that he would come here and really use nato and he hasn't at all. i don't think it has left the organisation in a particularly strong position in the eyes of the world. you just have all these guys ina room world. you just have all these guys in a room laughing... we have too many egos going on here. he has called... we have this alleged show of unity, which is how boris described it at the end of the day. and yet we have trouble calling the french president disrespectful, nasty, and a current member... trudeau is 2—faced. nasty, and a current member... trudeau is 2-faced. the picture of
11:44 pm
unity is a little discordant. it is. but it could have been a lot worse. we were fearing something far worse than this. my guess there was an expectation that trump would talk about our election and he didn't do that. he managed to talk about the nhs and say that it is not on the table, he wouldn't even want it if it was presented on a silver platter. which made a salad just wasn't a particularly nice thing to have as well. i don't want it, you can have a —— which made it sound. judging by recent history, it could have been a lot worse. we may not have been a lot worse. we may not have heard the last of it. he has been sulking on his flight home. firing up the mobile phone. that is not a laughing matter. let us turn toa not a laughing matter. let us turn to a really... the story, because of the nato stuff, it hasn't really had that much coverage, but the ft has this on its front page. kate, do you wa nt to this on its front page. kate, do you want to give us your take on germany
11:45 pm
seeing cremin's can between killing a chechen rebel in a berlin park. this talks about the death of a chechen man in a berlin park. he was shot. and germany is blaming two russian agents and has expelled them. they had not heard about this case at all. it has echoes of the sergei skripal attack, the salisbury attack, where you have russian agents operating within a country and some really horrific deaths being carried out. i think there was some more details not only in the ft but the times covers it as well. it talks about the russian agents working out of a base in the french alps and it gives them access to european countries they are able to move in and out of. at the end of the day, this killing has seen two
11:46 pm
russian spies effectively being kicked out of germany and it has certainly ramped up tensions between germany and russia. going back to salisbury, the russians, they are a rogue state and they do these things at will. and if they have this, you know, it is, we have the james bond trailer today, the idea that any french alps there are a dozen who move around europe at will, ignoring the rules of any other land, it shows that the state does seem to be rogue, it does exactly what it was, this guy was a chechen separatist who commanded forces against the russians in the 1990s. he was shot by an assailant in a wig who approached him on an electric bicycle and shot him with a pistol fitted with a silencer. the russians have not helped the german authorities. the german authorities are saying it is clear that the german and chechen governments have something to do with this. you get the idea that no—one is safe, that
11:47 pm
no—oneis the idea that no—one is safe, that no—one is safe from them. they will hunt you down and they will kill you. it raises questions about what will happen next. because after salisbury, you know, this was a moment when everybody did step up and show solidarity among the uk's allies, 150 odd diplomats expelled from capitals over europe and north america. this which it is expected as retaliation that moscow will now kick out two german diplomats. and it seems to be met with sarcasm and humour, dark humour more than anything else. they tell us to prove it. plausible deniability. it is the name of the game. turning now to something very different, i don't know who was it, michael, dorcas through the hero of headingley bowling out at 70. a lovely photo there have willis on the front page of the telegraph. desperately sad.
11:48 pm
sportsmen and women are huge heroes to many people and was one of the biggest. in my childhood you always had a picture of him on the television footage of him in headingley when he bowled out the australians. he died yesterday, sorry, today at 70. just one of those huge schoolboy heroes that many people have tried to emulate and he said such a good example on and he said such a good example on and off the cricket pitch as well. it always seems to be desperately sad when a sporting hero dies and 70 isa sad when a sporting hero dies and 70 is a desperately young age these days. he is often on television, he has been a great captain of england and a great cricketer and a great role model. it is a lovely picture chosen by the telegraph as well.‘ beautiful shot. a fast bowler in action. and just before we leave
11:49 pm
everybody, you mentioned a moment ago, michael, kate, start us off on the 007 that we got a glimpse of today in that trailer. it is very exciting because we have a female 007. we believe she is the new 007, she is a double lower at the least. this is groundbreaking stuff for james bond. women in a powerful position in the film and might make me go watch it. james bond is not something i typically go and see but this is a cool idea and probably about time you have a woman at the very top of the film. the new director who was kind of parachuted in late in the day was talking about it not being so much a gender point asa it not being so much a gender point as a youth point, as an oks move over old guy point rather than a gender point. that was said to be
11:50 pm
more of a gender thing bringing in phoebe waller bridge. but i think she will liven it up. both make bond and the female characters as well. one of the quotes that came out of the set though, we have boris johnson being god on the front of the son, but the quote was history is not kind to those who play god. so... there may be a warning therefore the general election. from 007. you are obviously a massive james warned fan. what did you think? the trailer is brilliant. this one of the last two, they seem to be harking back, a little few too many callbacks to the history. hopefully we will get this out of the way and then go back to the normal films. and apart from being
11:51 pm
grateful there is a woman in a kick something role, does anything else appeal to you? amazing action, loads of drama. james bond, you just kind of drama. james bond, you just kind of switch off and you let the film ta ke of switch off and you let the film take you over completely. daniel craig there, i remember him becoming bondin craig there, i remember him becoming bond in the first place and now he is almost at the end of the period of time but he is moving off. there isa of time but he is moving off. there is a new film out with him in it at the moment and all i see when i see this latest film is that he is bond. i find it hard to think of him as anything else. we will have to wait until april 2020 to see what becomes of him in this new film. thank you both for coming in ensuring the evening with me. a reminder that you can watch all of this online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you —
11:52 pm
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, michael booker and kate proctor. goodbye. good evening. i'm ben croucher with a round up of the day's sports news. liverpool bossjurgen klopp said he loved it a lot after his side stuffed everton 5—2 in the merseyside derby. for his opposite number marco silva — life just got that little bit tougher as toffees are now stuck in the relegation zone. lydia campbell take it all in. ba rely barely a mile separates the homes of liverpool and everton but the clocks that make could not be further apart when it comes to fortunes on the pitch. liverpool want the title. everton fight for their manager's
11:53 pm
job. form sometimes goes out the window in derby games but sometimes it does not. just six minutes before the scoring open. and then soon after, it was made two, suggesting a co mforta ble after, it was made two, suggesting a comfortable night ahead stop but if there was ever a game for everton to make upfor there was ever a game for everton to make up for their slumber, this was the one. and michael keenan was the man to bring his side back into view. liverpool this season have been a joy to watch. but sometimes there is no harm in going for it. 3-1 there is no harm in going for it. 3—1 and then four. just when it was looking comfortable again, everton got a second. it perhaps the lack of celebration says it all. the game had blown itself out after a frantic first half but one final attack made it five. and that is how it
11:54 pm
finished. one of the simplest derbies liverpool will face. they remaina derbies liverpool will face. they remain a points clear at the top of the league and have perhaps dealt the everton manager a fatal blow. jose mourinho endured an unhappy return to manchester united as his tottenham side were beaten 2—i. marcus rashford scored twice for the home side, who climb above spurs into 6th. elsewhere, chelsea beat aston villa 2—i. leicester are back up to second with a 2—0 win over managerless watford. southampton held on to beat norwich and move out of the relegation zone, while wolves 2—0 win at home to west ham takes them fifth. there was drama at celtic park as scottish premiership celtic leaders conceded a last minute equaliser against hamilton — only for scott brown to grab the winner two minutes into stoppage time. it puts them two points clear now at the top after rangers could only draw 2—2 with aberdeen. despite trailing 2—0 aberdeen hit back either side of half time, with andrew considine
11:55 pm
scoring their second. hearts are down to iith despite a late equaliser against livingston. kilmarnock and st johnstone was goalless. ross county beat hibs 2—i and st mirren are now bottom after a 3—0 reversal at home to motherwell. the former england bowler and broadcaster bob willis has died following a short illness. his family confirmed the news this afternoon. he played 90 tests for his country, taking 325 wickets — leaving him fourth on the list of all time english wicket takers. david gower — the man who succeeded him as england captain — was among those to pay tribute. for someone like him who had to work really seriously hard to get something out of the game, if he ever saw anyone who was slacking or
11:56 pm
taking life easy, not putting in 100%, he would come down on them like a ton of bricks. he said high standards. and no doubt we will show him in vibrant form should pulling no punches. anthonyjoshua says he's not travelled to saudi arabia for entertainment — just to win back the three world titles he lost to andy ruinunior earlier this year. the two faced off at the pre fight press conference ahead of their eagerly awaited heavyweight rematch. joshua has been talking about the ‘challenger mindset‘ that he's needed to prepare for the fight. any heavyweight knows you need a challenger mindset. i have always said that previously, when i had the belts around my waist and now this is the challenge ahead. i want to get back to my 16th. i am hungry, determined and focused on the goal. that's all the sport for now. enjoy the rest of your night. we have some murky weather around at
11:57 pm
the moment, dense patches of fog for some of us the fog tending to be to the south—east of the weather front but looking at the stream we have the next area of low pressure waiting to move in later today to bring some wet and windy weather to the north—west of the uk. for the time being we have showers here with brisk south—westerly wind. whether taking the umbrella with you. and we have murky conditions in the south particularly around the thames valley where we have seen dense fog at heathrow and along stretches of the m25. there is freezing fog we have across the south with temperatures well below freezing in places. it means that some fog patches may loiter into the first pa rt patches may loiter into the first part of thursday morning, bringing poor travelling conditions. elsewhere, we have the rain that is quickly spreading in through thursday morning across northern ireland and scotland, and eventually the rain will move in for a time across the north of england and wales. the heaviest and most persistent rain targets the western side of the highlands where we look
11:58 pm
at around 70 or 80 millimetres of rain, enough to cause localised surface water flooding. after that murky start in the south—east it should brighten up for a number of us should brighten up for a number of us with some spells of sunshine and it will be relatively mild despite the brisk wind. through thursday night, the rain pushes southwards, south—westerly wind, cloudy skies, mild night with temperatures for many of us staying in double figures and barely budging through the day on friday. on friday there weather forecast in detail, the wind initially with us brings outbreaks of my —— rain and mild conditions. later in the day the rain transitions to showers and we have cool north—westerly wind blowing in from the north—west. that will drop temperatures across northern areas. but still mild for much of england and wales with temperatures typically around 11 or 12 celsius. the weekend weather prospects, initially we have original high—pressure and then some heavy

i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines: donald trump's impeachment inquiry enters a new phase, as constitutional law experts give evidence on whether the us president should be removed from office. if what we are talking about is not impeachable, then nothing is impeachable. i am concerned about lowering impeachment standards to fit a paucity of evidence and an abundance of anger. nato celebrates its 70th anniversary, but divisions and tensions emerge as donald trump takes aim after leaders are caught gossiping about the us president. i'm kasia madera in london. also in the programme:
