on tuesday morning. but fewer around on tuesday morning. but fewer showers in many places will get away with a dry day. but it will be quite a chilly one. temperature is lower than this weekend at around 3— eight celsius. so i colder day for all, and a cold and frosty and icy night to follow. dense patches of fog for wednesday. a crisp start away from those fog patches and it will stay dry across eastern parts throughout. in the west it turns cloudier, wetter and windier through the day. temperatures rise into double figures by the end of the afternoon in the mild air will push its way northwards as we go through thursday night. lots of rain, these temperatures higher for the end night. lots of rain, these temperatures higherfor the end of the week but we will see a bit more rain at times. goodbye for now.
11:31 pm
hello. this is bbc news with martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment, first the headlines. labour's leaders apologise for the party's crushing defeat in last week's general election — jeremy corbyn and the shadow chancellor take the blame. it's on me, let's take it on the chin, i own this disaster so i apologise, i apologise to all those wonderful labour mps who have lost their seats who have worked so hard... nicola sturgeon renews her call for a second referendum on scottish independence, saying the people of scotland mustn't be kept in the union — against their will. the climate change talks in madrid end with a compromise agreement — to toughen up carbon—cutting pledges before the next conference. a british man has been killed and his step—son wounded, after being shot during a suspected robbery in buenos aires. england cricketeer ben stokes wins bbc‘s sports personality
11:32 pm
of the year. jack black is back injumanji and the next level. see what mark kermode makes a bit and the rest of the releases in the film review. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the the political commentator and former head of press under david cameron, giles kenningham and the political writer and academic, maya goodfellow. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the metro has the headline ‘labour at each other‘s throats — referring to ousted mp caroline flint who is claiming emily thornberry called northern brexit voters stupid. the daily telegraph has the same story — the labour party is accused of supreme arrogance as voters get the blame for the historic defeat.
11:33 pm
the guardian also leads on labour but has this picture of the bbc sports personality of the year winner: cricket star ben stokes. the daily mail lists borisjohnson's priorities for a government shakeup — border control, nhs and investment in the north — to ensure another decade of conservative rule. staying with the tory shakeup and the times reports that the prime minister will take aim at the ministry of defence over ‘wasted cash‘. and finally, the ft is leading with the un talks on climate change that have finished without an agreement on carbon trading. politics first. johnson to take aim at mod over wasted cash. there will be an overhaul of defence spending, particularly the cure meant. -- procurement. annette cummings is one of the prime minster‘s senior advisors and —— dominic cummings. he is keen on this overhaul. headline
11:34 pm
is keen on this overhaul. headline is also about the mod and what else is also about the mod and what else is going to go on in terms of also the government. there is also the international development team being rolled into the foreign office and also the border department being set up, separate from the home office. what is interesting about this, looking at development is one of my interests and the conservatives up until david cameron were a party that typically downgraded development so rolling it into the foreign office would be a big rate from recent years but historically in terms of what the conservatives have done, it would almost be going backin have done, it would almost be going back in line with how the conservatives have treated development although that will be —— that won't be much consolation to people who work in divid. how much would this have been driven by dominic covenant that matt comyn it dominic covenant that matt comyn it dominic cummings. —— dominic
11:35 pm
cummings. i do think you are going to see a fundamental overhaul. you will see this in february when you see the wholesale resale. they will wa nt see the wholesale resale. they will want to get the bill out of the way. the department of training will be in there as well. boris might get this newly branded infrastructure department as well. in whitehall, there are brilliant parts of it, it will be a change but there will be a challenge. you will want to get rid of the old bits and get in the new bits. isn't this about reducing the number of civil servants, saving money? is a bit of that. there is an element of it being too slow and it needs to move quick and be more responsive but also they need to bring in new expertise like striking a trade deal which is unprecedented.
11:36 pm
that expertise doesn't exist in whitehall at the moment.” that expertise doesn't exist in whitehall at the moment. i guess it is what you want to prioritise. these things don't have a cost themselves. if you roll some departments into others, it is not like that is cost free so what a lot of civil servants or people who are interested in the structure of government in this way will be looking at is how are they going to do this, what is going to go, what is going to stay and how these different departments that may be rolled into one another, how are they going to function because that is not necessarily cost free. let us look at the guardian. battles for labour's future begins. drawing up a list of the potential runners for the labour party leadership. a lot of it will depend on how influential momentum remain, having putjeremy corbyn at the head of the party. momentum remain, having putjeremy corbyn at the head of the partym will come down to members and so how this will function is they will be a lot of discussion about these different potential candidates and
11:37 pm
people will start putting their names forward. we have already had lisa nandi saying she is not ruling out. her name has been talked about a lot of the past but she was on andrew marr today saying this is the first time she is not going to rule it out and there has been talk of rebecca long bailey whojohn mcdonnell has mentioned he will probably be the favourite candidate of some of the people who have been leading the labour party in the recent yea rs. leading the labour party in the recent years. also talk ofjess phillips. i think it is less likely that cooper and emily thornbury are going to be people that go for it but they names are in the mix. keir starmer is the only man but i don't know if richard burgin will go for it given he is also from the similar wing as rebecca long bailey. a lot of people have talked about it saying it needs to be a woman who will be the next leader that people need to remember that mps will back there candidates that they want to back and you need to get a certain percentage of the support from the plp and they will go to members was not whoever gets that spot will get on the ballot paper and really it
11:38 pm
will be for members to decide because it is a one member one vote system in the labour party. do you sort out who your leader is first and then decide on strategy? what is the party have to decide on strategy and then decide who is best to leave that strategy? the question is -- the question here is that labour need a period of reflection. the tories had a long reflection campaign. they didn't have a new leader until december and that allowed david cameron to come through. it —— if it had been at quick election, david cameron wouldn't have come in. the question for labour 's today need a longer period. some of the names being floated, rebecca long bailey who seems to be a front runner at the moment, they do seem to be like corbyn like. is at the manifesto of the man? it is quite complicated. this longer period of reflection, i think it is necessary for the labour
11:39 pm
party to really look at what has happened. actually there is a lot of things in the mix in terms of what happened during the general election but also what has happened more historically with the labour party and some of the seat and actually some of those policies like public ownership, like some of the more necessary policies that we need on real action on climate change, a popular and they are polled amongst the public so part of it may be messaging, part of it maybe the delivery and part of it is also brexit. they don't want to be making too much time, they need to be an effective opposition. but what happens next, they need to get right. if they are really serious about challenging the and 70 party in the next election, they need to ta ke in the next election, they need to take some time and there is a risk. —— conservative party was not there isa —— conservative party was not there is a risk. boris at war with bbc over tv license fees. how is he going to do it? this is the conservatives. saying that they will end, potentially looking at
11:40 pm
decriminalising, so when you don't pay your license fee and the fine you have to pay, they are talking about decriminalising that. what is interesting about this is that this has already been looked at in recent yea rs. has already been looked at in recent years. it is interesting that the conservatives are now, you know, first few days in office, talking about this in a big way. actually, i think one of the things that i do think one of the things that i do think that is in the mix when we're talking about the bbc in the conservative, they are already saying they are to boycott, alongside this, i don't get is that way. they are a bit cross with the bbc at the moment. but a lot of people are cross with the bbc at all times. they are cross with channel 4 news. there is the issue about abc becoming self funding. there is a belief in numberten becoming self funding. there is a belief in number ten that the idea of criminalising people is like putting unnecessary pressure on the justice system. the other question here is that will this be a
11:41 pm
priority... there are other pressures on the justice system, aren't they? yes but that is one of their beliefs. i think the question is, in amongst time, will this still bea is, in amongst time, will this still be a priority because there are so many other things they will be getting through. the financial times. un talks on climate change breakup in stalemate. they kicked it down the road again to next year, to glasgow. essentially what has happened is there hasn't been a consensus. some of the major cuts that need to happen in terms of the emissions and the big emitters are not taking a big steps —— and up steps on this was not there as talks on the role of the uk government because the uk climate aspect because the uk climate aspect because of the talks that will be here next year. during the election campaign, greenpeace did an audit of all of the parties' manifestoes and the conservatives came out at the worst. they will be a lot of
11:42 pm
pressure from campaigners. we have seen the school strikers all around the world but as well as on the uk, on the government, to do more, take climate change seriously put up sub sub —— stop subsidising the fossil fuel industry because of what has come out of these talks is what has happened and been said about some indigenous groups around the world and pacific countries, the rising tides that are happening now. they stand to lose the most of the soonest. they are saying more needs to be done in terms of cutting emissions and we cannot carry on how we are. ideally you need to have china and america on board. two of the biggest polluters in the world. to my apartment point, there is a i’uitioui’ to my apartment point, there is a rumour going round there will be another department in america and the government realises this agenda has moved front and centre and absolutely in front of the —— about the raw support, it is a massive issue for young people. there is much greater awareness amongst the younger generation. sure, but as well as those big emitters, they mentioned it is true but with countries like the uk, there is like
11:43 pm
this outsourcing of omissions to other countries, richer countries. so actually china's emissions are tied up with uk's emissions and they can't be separated in a really clear way. they would be a time where people need to follow suit. in the elections, the talk of the green new deal, you heard it in the us, we need fundamental systematic idea —— change. it was a labour idea. but in terms of campaigners, trying to pressure the government, we will see a lot from younger people but also from these campaign groups. the daily mirror, gift of life from nhs superhero. a heartwarming story, and nhs worker saved the life of a dying toddler after donating a kidney to her. they are quite light —— quite rightly branding her a superhero. the nhs becoming a huge battleground during the election, it was front
11:44 pm
and centre, traditionally a labour issue, you heard about or isjohnson talking about how the tories can own it going forward but clearly the top of the voters' mines and priorities, it is great to see a story like this —— minds. it is great to see a story like this -- minds. she heard about it on social media, didn't she? when people are looking for donors or particular organs all you need a match in terms of blood type. i think this is nice because also because it is inherently political, it is something after a very intense general election that is just a part —— positive story on one of our first two front pages. —— positive story on one of our first two front pageslj —— positive story on one of our first two front pages. i chose not to see the politics in it as well. this is a positive story, it is a very nice thing that has happened and also a very brave thing to do for something you don't know. this little girl, look at her. her pa rents little girl, look at her. her parents absolutely desperate. she is two years old and she is thriving. a gorgeous picture with the donor. we
11:45 pm
here as well that people are relu cta nt to here as well that people are reluctant to come forward often. let's finish with the daily telegraph. world cup and ashes hero wins sports personality of the year. only the fifth cricketer to win that prize and this year it was hardly a surprise with winning the world cup and how he played. a fantastic year for english cricket winning the world cup. then stokes has had a difficult couple of years, he was up for affray which he was cleared of a couple of ago. and he has been, had a few brushes with the press. quite interestingly, unfortunately for viewers, gary lineker accidentally announced the fact he had won an hour early before you were meant to. at least he didn't announce the wrong person. and oxo style moment!
