grace blakeley. that's coming up after the headlines at 11:30. now it's time for the weather with stav da naos. hello there. thanks to a ridge of pressure which moved through during tuesday night, wednesday looks to be the last of the dry and the cold settled days, as things that you turn more and settle beyond wednesday thanks to the area of low pressure. this is the game changer tour whether for the end of the week, to bring wetter, windier, but milder conditions to our shores. once start of cold, pretty frosty, bright with some sunshine. we could haveissues bright with some sunshine. we could have issues with dense fog through central, northern areas. as the breeze picks up through the day looks like this fog lived into low cloud and drift northwards. some areas could stay grey. generally bright —— dry and bright. it will feel quite cold to the west in the south—west changes already taking place was not what and when you with

the temperature slowly rising. wednesday looks pretty wild ride across the country. wet and windy conditions, rain heavy at times. this list of the winds through wednesday night will be across the irish sea. you can see that squeeze in the isobars there, got the 50—60 mph. rains pushing northwards, light across the scottish mountains, it is across the scottish mountains, it is a transient area of snow, because as the cold air begins to drift northwards, the milder takes over. it will be reverting back to rain. that's it. it is change. thursday, blustery, strong southerly winds, so jonah showers. the best of the sunshine across the northern half of the country, more shelter to the south. we will see heavy doubles, maybe longer spells of rain. you will notice those temperatures, double figures value —— double—figure values for all. images may be 13 in the south. the rain keeps on coming through thursday night into friday, particularly across the south and the south—east. there could be southern county seen quite a lot of rainfall falling on saturated ground. we will have to watch this as there could be a risk

of minorflooding. as we head into friday, low pressure with us. the main rainband should clear off into the north sea for friday. in its wa ke we the north sea for friday. in its wake we should see sunny spells around. further showers pushing into the south and westward. again some of these will be quite heavy and it will be blustery in the south—west corner. temperatures coming down just a little bit across the north, 7-8d, just a little bit across the north, 7—8d, around the seasonal average. perhaps ten and 11 in the south. similar story as we head on into the start of the weekend. low pressure systems spinning around to the north—west of the uk. a bit of uncertainty with the detail. it does look like it will generally remain u nsettled look like it will generally remain unsettled as we head on into the new weekend. there will be quite a lot of sunshine around common nothing across central, northern, and eastern areas, but the nest that could move into the south and was later on. it will be quite wet across the southern areas. as we head on into sunday, sojonah showers following behind. it could be wet through the night, the first pa rt be wet through the night, the first

part of thunder in the south. then we will see such manager was returning. winds generally light to moderate. it could be a little bit cooler, still across the north, seven degrees quite widely, perhaps into northern england as well, 9—10 in the south. beyond the weekend, christmas week, still some uncertainty, but it looks like the jet stream will be fairly invigorated and pushing weather systems our way stop and it will be bringing ourair mass systems our way stop and it will be bringing our air mass of the atlantic. it looks like temperatures will be around orjust above the seasonal average at times. there is uncertainty with low pressure systems. some of them could be fairly intense to bring spells of wet and windy weather with some gales at times. you will have to watch this space, keep watching the weather for the weekend. hello. this is bbc news with reeta chakra barti. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines: prime minister! cheering and

applause. boris johnson returns to the dispatch box. he says there'll be a new law to finish brexit talks by the end of next year. this parliament is not going to waste the time of the nation in deadlock and division and delay. asjeremy corbyn meets his mps for the first time since the election, he's robustly challenged by one who lost her seat. john worboys, the so—called black cab rapist, has been jailed for life at the old bailey with a minimum term of six years, for attacking four more victims. ac milan are the latest club to condemn a new anti—racism campaign in italy's top league. posters show pictures of monkeys with painted faces. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the former

conservative pensions minister baroness ros altmann and the economist and member of labour's policy forum, grace blakeley. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. leading the metro, you ain't seen nothing yet folks, says the prime minister, as he tells the cabinet to get to work after their election landslide. in the times, furious labour mps slam corbyn for their election defeat, with a brutal public tirade against the leaderfrom former mp mary creagh. in the telegraph, turkey lets palestinian group hamas plot terror attacks on israel, from the safe haven of istanbul. in the mirror, fire peril of half a million washing machines, with whirlpool announcing a huge product recall after a number of fires. in the sun, the sack for flack — tv star caroline flack forced to quit tv show love island after being charged with assaulting her boyfriend.

starting with the metro. one of the images of the day, borisjohnson, his hair is a brickle —— brig it to really —— his hair is tussled. his hair is a brickle —— brig it to really -- his hair is tussled. he has had a tremendous victory, you can't take it away from him. he was to hit the ground running. demonstrate to the country that he is going to get things done. not just brexit but lots of other things, and he is trying to rally the troops, rally the cabinet, the people's cabinet, servants of the people, and talking about his whole agenda, socialjustice, social care, getting rid of homelessness and making this a land of opportunity and all the things that we have heard for some time. levelling up,

spending on infrastructure, making sure we get the north motoring, not just having things down in the south, and reaching out to those who have been left behind. if he can do it all, it will be transformative and it will be brilliant. obviously, yes, you ain't seen nothing yet, that the test will come when we see what the results are. first we get the exit happening at the end of january. we will actually legally leave the eu. we won't know what our relationship is going to be like for a while after that. but this is his moment. he has weighted his life for this. he has got to the agenda, he has got the mandate and he is off. it is sort of extraordinary to hear him talking, as rosa says, about addressing every problem from social ca re addressing every problem from social care to homelessness, social

infrastructure was —— infrastructure, this is words of at conservative prime minister after nine years of a conservative government. and he is going to be governing with other members who have been cutting things like social ca re have been cutting things like social care through austerity measures so it will be very interesting to see how that set of issues and tensions in the conservative party is result because it is not going away. it is still a coalition other very much free markets — — still a coalition other very much free markets —— coalition of very much free markets and sajid javid for example and then a larger section of people who are fairly right—wing but economically a little bit more towards the motor end of the spectrum and maybe think there might be a bit more in terms of public spending and investment and there is going to be in conflict between those two groups, i think. especially as we are coming up to some sort of economic slowdown in the next probably 2— three years.

there is likely to be replicated in the us and the eurozone. which will potentially impact of some of those areas that as howard johnson put it, lend him his vote —— their votes. and whether we do see the conservative party tacking towards the left on economic policy or whether the segment of the policy —— party wins out, i think that is the big question we will have and will be answered emphatically over the next few months. but we will see a radical departure from the previous policies. is major tax reforms that might be redistributive for example on the pension side or spending that focuses on left behind areas. issues like social care finally being tackled was actually think that he

has got to put in place these policies that will show a big difference to justify him saying, you know, this is not the government you know, this is not the government you have had for the last nine yea rs. you have had for the last nine years. this is a new, radical departure and he is going to have the mandate to do it and parliament will not be able to stand in the way. nobody in the tory party, really, is going to be able to stand in the way. he has promised not to raise taxes but apart from that, i think he will be raising spending. there is a questionnaire about whether or not he will be constrained by the influence of the obr, the afs and the mps that are aligned with that more pro— austerity or more small seat conservative spending on public finances because if he does, you know, say i am not going to raise taxes as well as committing a lot more in terms of public spending, that will be a radical departure from what the conservatives have been telling the country in the last ten years which is that there is no

money left. . the radical change in the way we do tax in itself will be a significant way in which he can potentially raise more revenue and redistribute. he could tack onto the bank of england's quantitative easing policies. i think we're getting a little bit technical two economists. we have talked about the victors, how about the vanquished? furiously, mps slam corbyn. two this is after the labour party meeting where cormann has been hammered by a succession of mps. -- corbyn and people who have lost their seats. there is an account here from mary creagh from wakefield, having confronted corbyn over the campaign

and widespread consensus amongst those mps that this was something that corbyn should take responsibility for which he broadly has said that he will. he is leaving. and i think now obviously the party has some questions to think about in terms of why this campaign was lost. if you look at the polling in terms of why voters are switched from labour to the conservatives in 2017 and 2019, there seems to be a big focus on leadership and corbyn mac not being able to provide that solid, assertive leadership that johnson did over the course of this campaign, it is not his style. and also brexit was a huge issue in terms of the places we lost. but there was a question on whether or not there was any route out of the brexit morass for labour. the membership was pro— remain actually.

but the seats were not. the membership was split by about two—thirds, one third in favour of remain but if you look at the seats that later had and wanted to hold onto, a lot of them were leave seats. —— labour wanted to hold onto. the conservative party managed to absorb almost the entire wreck set party boat. will that was helped by nigel farage standing down. —— vote. at the end of the day, labour leadership needs to take responsibility for what happened and some of the comments that were a p pa re ntly some of the comments that were apparently made it this brutal session today of the plp, the parliamentary labour party, where they were talking about him misjudging things, the incompetence of the campaign, we need to win over the voters, not just of the campaign, we need to win over the voters, notjust the party members, those types of things. asking what it is that the public wa nt asking what it is that the public want rather than telling them what they are going to get. i suspect,

you know, there is going to be a lot of introspection about what happened. i love david lenny‘s comment, yes, i go to church and my face, i express theirfaith raised thinking should be left in church rather than the labour party's faith —based cults. will i thinkjohnson might be having a faith —based cold of his own given what the make—up of the party is going to be —— i think thatjohnson might be having a faith —based holt. thatjohnson might be having a faith -based holt. yes but there is going to be something that needs to be resolved. luna leadership has taken responsibility but people are worried that even though corbyn is gone, corbynism might live on. but it is socialism, it is in name

and democratic socialist party. and that link between democrats and socialists is not going away. if you look at some of the challenges that the country and indeed the planet is facing over the coming years, i do not think that on things such as a nationalisation, the green industrial revolution which is this idea of investment in order to greener growth, i don't think these policies are going to become any less popular because they are popular on their own terms. even if they haven't been particularly well received when presented in this election campaign. i think some of them were quite popular but it ended up with the voter base not really trusting the labour party on the economy. they issued their manifesto which they said was fully costed and then within two or three days they had somehow issued another spending commitment of £58 billion. those

kinds of issues were coming up and voters were saying, we don't know that we can trust them with the economy. in many ways, the manifesto was too detailed. true. the conservatives one with such a sparse manifesto. deliberately. let us go to the front page of the i. nhs, winter crisis. it feeds into the important, vital issue of the green agenda and the issues that surround what we're doing to the planet what we are doing to our country. pollution in the uk has really been the problem and this story is about gps in hospitals struggling with the consequences of people being unable to breathe properly and we are not meeting our legally binding

air—quality target. study earlier this year, 2000 sites across the uk had air—quality that is unsafe. i mean, you know, leeds, doncaster, london made stephen, all of them, nitrogen oxide levels that are much too high. yes, we have the ultralow emissions zone which has just come in in london, but clearly, the nhs is being impacted by people being unable to breathe, asthma, bronchitis. my mother has it. you really notice people are struggling to breathe just because of the air—quality, the amount of traffic, the fumes, you need to move to electric vehicles, there is a lot to do. will this is s. this is linked to the concentration of economic activity in the big cities and the absence of, well, migration out of

that many of the regions. contraction in economic activity there. as much as boosting public transport and all that sort of stuff, re balancing the transport and all that sort of stuff, rebalancing the economy towards the regions is going to be a massive political economic and environmental necessity over the coming years. absolutely. there is a linked story on the front page of the guardian. warnings as australia braces for record heat. linked of course because one of —— one assumes this is climate change. yes, and you are hearing about these incredibly high temperatures across australia, 48 celsius. it is almost unimaginable but that is the consequences, the consequences are these terrible fires that are spreading and apparently sydney is about to be engulfed in smoke from these fires stretching three kilometres up into the atmosphere.

what also the story mentions is that there is a total fire what also the story mentions is that there is a totalfire ban. can you imagine the five —— the australian ‘s managing without their barbies? it is unimaginably hot and it builds on more extreme weather events we are seeing happening all around the world. the fires that raged through the us over the summer as well is another example of this and we do know now that we are going to see increasing instances of extreme weather events. yes, fires, but also flooding, monsoons, all of these sorts of things. and we have to do try and keep temperature rises within1.5 try and keep temperature rises within 1.5 degrees. try and keep temperature rises within1.5 degrees. especially those more advanced countries which have historically been larger emitters, really do have a responsibility to try and decarbonise very quickly over the next decade or two. and that requires quite big investment

in the economy by the states so johnson does in many ways need to be spending more money. we cannot afford not to try and decarbonise the top also may be focusing some of our foreign the top also may be focusing some of ourforeign aid the top also may be focusing some of our foreign aid budget on stopping ra i nfore st our foreign aid budget on stopping rainforest been cut down. that in itself is so important, when you see those enormous swathes of areas that soak up carbon dioxide, just being cut down and you can understand people wanting to do that because economically it delivers them so much more so we need to somehow find ways to make it worthwhile to keep the rainforests. and prevent this offer, it is notjust global warming, it is climate change and people think as soon as there is a cold snap, global warming doesn't mean anything but actually, that is not the case. the extreme weather is the consequences here. we saw in madrid a few days ago how

difficult it is to get a political agreement. in the agreement was to toughen up on targets for next time around. this is a succession of said tax on the international front when it comes to climate breakdown. and i think that failure to deal with this at the international level and even, you know, even the agreements that have been reached have not gone nearly far enough have been reached have not gone nearly farenough in have been reached have not gone nearly far enough in terms of their ambition, the focus is on carbon pricing and emissions trading schemes and those sorts of things. what we really need is a big amount of investment to basically transform the way that the economy works. think the failure on the international level is where there is the impetus for the green new deal in the us, uk, and europe is coming from. identikit will go away anytime soon. it is partly the way our political cycles work —— i don't think it will go away. and everybody wa nts think it will go away. and everybody wants someone else to do it and not themselves. it has to be done. but

difficult decisions and painful decisions that need to be made domestically. politicians, understandably, so far don't want to sign up to it. we're going to have to leave it there. thank you both much indeed. 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, ros altmann and grace blakeley. goodbye. good evening. i'm chetan pathak. here's your latest sports news. aston villa are into the semi—finals of the league cup as they put five goals past liverpool's youngest first team in their history. the senior squad's currently in qatar ahead of tomorrow's club world cup semi—final. it meant five players were handed their liverpool debuts tonight, in a team that had

an average age of 19 and a half. michael redford reports. lots of youngsters in the crowd at villa park. there was plenty of youth on the pitch as welcome as liveable named the youngest team in their 127 year history. the average age of the starting 11 was just under 19.5. and despite a bright start, experience proved key. the goalkeeper won't want to see that again. nor will he want to see this, again. nor will he want to see this, a deflected cross and villa had two goals in three minutes. and although the home side once dominant, they we re the home side once dominant, they were clinical. jonathan todd with his first goal of the season. the second of the campaign arrive before halftime. the first —— first time they scored first in amassing 2018. codger would be replaced by wesley later on. time for the brazilian to score his first goal since october. 5-08 score his first goal since october. 5—08 finish, billow through to the cup semi finals for the first time

since 2013. and while liveable's 18 gopher club world cup glory in qatar, the youngsters still have 20 to learn. —— liverpool's youngsters go for. bristol rovers have booked their place in the third round of the fa cup, after beating plymouth argyle 1—0, in a second round replay. despite dominating large spells of the game, plymouth failed to take their chances and the breakthrough was provided by bristol's alex rodman, who headed home a deflected clearance in the 68th minute. bristol will host fellow league one side coventry in the third round. in italy, serie a has apologised tonight for it's campaign that used these posters of monkeys as part of its anti racism message. the artist has defended his work but serie a's chief executive has now said he realises the artwork was inappropriate. today, ac milan said they were surprised by the total lack of consultation, and that "art can be powerful, but we strongly disagree with the use of monkeys as images in the fight against racism." roma also expressed their surprise, adding: "we understand the league wants to tackle racism but we don't believe this is the right way to do it."

here's the reaction from anti—discrimination group kick it out. everyone at kick it outjust thought it was completely inappropriate. you know, think it's great when a governing body or a league wants to do more to tackle racism, discrimination, in any country, but it's clear that it is completely of stop at one to undermine any positive intent they may have had with the campaign and we really hope they will reconsider, you know, replacing the graphics and using something else, because, you know, apes and monkeys have no place in any kind of antiracist campaign, whatever your reasons may be. and skateboarding will feature as a new sport at next year's tokyo olympics, but not at the paralympics. japanese skateboarder ryusei ouchi is almost completely blind and hopes that one day it might be. ouchi was born with perfect vision,

but since being diagnosed with an eye condition at the age of seven his sight has deteriorated. he now needs a cane to navigate in his local skate park near tokyo. dropping in off large ramps and riding rails are all done by feel rather than sight. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories, including on aston villa's league cup win over liverpool, on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. hello. if you are driving this morning this picture gives it away. a word of caution, there could be some thick patches of fog around, almost anywhere in england and the fog could linger into the early afternoon, particularly across northern parts of england. there is

fog out there right now. it could actually get denser as we go through early wednesday. we are in between weather systems. there is wind and rain heading our way. but that won't arrive until later in the day on wednesday. at least that is the case for most of us. in the morning we have the fog in the south, the midlands, northern england, temperatures in some areas will be close to freezing. that means some icy patches are possible here and there, especially out of town, this country roots. take it steady. the weather will go downhill quite quickly across western parts of the uk. the south—west, western wales, northern ireland, heavy atlantic rain sweeping in. on top of that some very strong winds as well. gales around the coasts. it will ta ke gales around the coasts. it will take time for the band of wind and rain to sweep into other parts of the uk. before that happens there could be sunshine, given that the fog clears away. here is the weather wednesday night into thursday. very windy around the west of the uk. gusts in excess of 60 mph possible. not quite so windy inland, but windy

enough. with that, through the course of wednesday night into thursday, look at the direction of the wind, straight out of the south, this is very mild airfor the wind, straight out of the south, this is very mild air for december heading our way. warm and at times wet on thursday. temperatures in the far south—east of the country could even hit 1a celsius. how about that for the second half of december? even in the north, in scotland, 10 degrees and rain. then thursday, into friday, we keep seeing those mild southerlies bringing outbreaks of heavy rain. almost any parts of the uk. the run—up to christmas, at least, this week, is looking very 5°99y least, this week, is looking very soggy indeed. towards the end of the week, temperatures will probably dropa week, temperatures will probably drop a little bit. we're not talking about 13— 1a degrees, more like 11 or 12 at best. the end of the week is looking unsettled and mild for many of us. here is the outlook as we head into the weekend. temperatures dropping just a little bit. the weather does remain u nsettled. bit. the weather does remain unsettled. that's it for me.

bye— bye.
