10:45 pm
so so they them in residential care, so they are holding up more urgent cases coming in with nowhere to go. this is where district nurses come in, they can actually go into people's homes and sort things out and increasingly complex care that they deliver. if you are going to link the nhs and social care, this is the link in the middle that is actually most important. and notjust old people? disabled people, whatever. people who may have had an operation who need help with dressings or cancer patients who need pumps and treatments, people who have been an accident so you don't need to be in hospital but just need accident so you don't need to be in hospital butjust need a little help at home. boris johnson said on the steps of downing street when he became pm that he would fix the crisis in social care. wasn't mentioned? he said that on the steps but in the queen's speech was nothing. there will be a lot of
10:46 pm
scrutiny of all of this. the guardian, christmas is barely over and thoughts are turning to the new year and and thoughts are turning to the new yearand an and thoughts are turning to the new year and an interesting story in the guardian about what will happen in edinburgh at this new year, if you wa nt to edinburgh at this new year, if you want to start? what will happen is if you live in certain parts you will struggle to get your own home so will struggle to get your own home so the big hogmanay celebrations coming up and an entertainment company is dealing with that, 70,000 expected and if you live in the streets where this is going on, you must apply for permission to actually get into your own home. should you wish to hold a party yourself, you then can only get up to six tickets for guests because it is already going ahead in the area. not unreasonably, residents are up in arms! i predict a rumpus! the city council says she will not need passes but the company running this insist you will, you will have a
10:47 pm
wristband to get in and stuff like that and if it is your own home, you would object hugely to somebody monitoring you going in and out. quite, your home is your castle. will the residents, does it say whether they will be will the residents, does it say whether they will he basically appealed to the local authorities? well... the council and the event company say nothing is different to what has happened before, there has a lwa ys what has happened before, there has always been, any huge event that a tt ra cts always been, any huge event that attracts tens of thousands, there has to be some health and safety and that would require street barriers and road closures etc. it is not unusualfor and road closures etc. it is not unusual for people to have to have a wristband or a pass to say i live here and a need to go there. but this idea, i think this whole story is based on a newly formed group called citizen, who are pretty annoyed with the number of events in edinburgh and!
10:48 pm
annoyed with the number of events in edinburgh and i think this is a rotten story for the people of edinburgh but it is really an interesting reflection on what happens if you live in an area that becomes an absolute magnet so they have hogmanay and the christmas markets and the festival and the fringe that run throughout august and they have all of the added attractions of the castle and the edinburgh tattoo and the idea of edinburgh tattoo and the idea of edinburgh as the theme park... they argue residents are treated worse than tourists, they want tourists and residents get pushed aside. and airbnb, which is absolutely destroying communities. people buy second homes and they don't want to live in them and they are not going away for the month, they use airbnb so away for the month, they use airbnb so locals cannot afford to live there and that is not good for communities. the guardian, boxing day sales, a picture of lots of people under umbrellas, soggy sales and lots of shoppers, numberfalls
10:49 pm
by 10%? and lots of shoppers, numberfalls by 1096? there is a sale week somewhere. we had black friday... and the weather was rotten. i remember a time on boxing day, they didn't have sales. used to send a junior reporter to camp outside with the people who had come down... for the people who had come down... for the £5 so far. and the boxing day sales became an event but if we look at that chronology... black friday... online sales, of course. it is inevitable that something has to give. and on a day like today, the weather has been different in different parts of the country and here in the side that has been horrible and i have not got out and i would not have dreamt of going to the sales anyway but i can understand lots of people saying, look, we have done christmas and we can do shopping online and we can stay at home in the warmth. and maybe people are thinking more about, do i need any more stuff?
10:50 pm
this has been a year that has been marked by consciousness raising about the environment and climate change because we really can't see this for real. maybe people are thinking twice about that? the high street is suffering. how do you deal with all of these issues? being sustainable and supporting the high street, etc? lots of things to think about and onto the financial times and on the lower left hand side, rising star talking about the superministry is, what is this about? the idea that boris johnson, when we have brexit over with and we are going to leave onjanuary 31, there is no doubt. what boris johnson will do is start slimming down the cabinet and start creating superministry is. and the treasury
10:51 pm
secretary is being tipped as a cabinet minister to head up one of them. the one the ft as talking about is an amalgamation of the business department and international trade, it was formed when brexit first started with the brexit department and that will be abolished. international development will probably go in with the foreign office, there is talk about stripping the ministry ofjustice and a lot of its different responsibilities, prisons going over into the home office, say. will this bea into the home office, say. will this be a slimmed down government orjust a different way of doing it? and whether the superministry is, how they can cope with brexit because they can cope with brexit because the 31st of january is the end of the 31st of january is the end of the beginning? and maybe not in the front of our public life in the same way as brexit has been, but the trade talks are going to be intense
10:52 pm
and they are going to go on forever. and the pearl civil servants having to do with this, do you actually need to change ministries as well? and redesign the font for the headed paper and everything else? civil servants will be appointed in future. they obviously, the new government is determined to change things and they should go very carefully in changing for the better rather than the worst. civil serva nts rather than the worst. civil servants who are there as neutral serva nts servants who are there as neutral servants of the public, to tinker with that and try to change that for the sake of change is concerning? with all change there will be unintended consequences, that is a real problem which is why you must do this carefully. sticking with the financial times, this is a story about the london barristerjulian warren and his encounter with the fox in his garden? this is pantomime
10:53 pm
time. the best story of the day. so this has accept lots of animal lovers. he was in the public eye a few weeks ago, jolyon maugham, leading the campaign in the court hearings against the government and has been for some time. he was a bit ofa has been for some time. he was a bit of a hero for remainers and anti brexiteers but he has become an absolute pantomime baddie wearing a too small satin kimono belonging to his wife when he went out to deal with the fox that was attacking his chickens, his chicken coop in a house in central london! interesting! and he killed at fox with a baseball bat. unfortunately, he hit the twitter button quite quickly and said, already this morning i have killed a fox with a baseball bat, how is your boxing day
10:54 pm
going? you can imagine the outcry! and that was his mistake! if you go out ina and that was his mistake! if you go out in a kimono with a baseball bat to kill a fox, don't put that on twitter afterwards! he says that his chickens were very distressed by the fox both before and after he had killed it, that is his defence for checking the action that he took. but people are asking questions about whether there was some way the fox could have been removed and allowed to go and the rspca was alerted as well. and he also informed them. it is fair to say that the fox was trapped in the netting. i don't think it was running around in the garden, just working on a free walking fox so the fox was trapped. maybe this is a rather inhumane way to deal with this. of all people who should have known to think before he tweets and to start tweeting something like
10:55 pm
that, he did make a joke out of it and that will always go down badly. well, those are the front pages so far. both of you, thank you very much. you will be back in a little while. that is not quite it for the papers. more to come. don't forget, you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to nigel and jo. and we'll be back for that second review in about half an hourfrom now. but for the moment — goodbye. good evening. many swapped out a dry and often sunny christmas day for a grey and often soggy boxing day. what a lot of rain around, this is
10:56 pm
how it looked earlier on in the south—east of london. it was not like that were everywhere, bright weather across the far north of scotla nd weather across the far north of scotland and for many as you go through the next few days we go back to something drier, a lot of cloud around on it will feel milder with a rain to be had this evening across parts of wales and southern england and much of the pudding way with more rain for northern ireland in western scotland through the night and further east one or two clear spells, one true fog patches out there at the moment and also temperatures across northern scotla nd temperatures across northern scotland have followed before freezing but for many we will hold up freezing but for many we will hold up above freezing and it will be a very well start tomorrow across the western side of the uk and into tomorrow this frontal system, this warm front will be sliding its way eastwards taking some outbreaks of rain with it. but it is a warm front as the name suggests, bringing with it some warmer or at least milder air which will be wafting up from the side. through the day we see outbreaks of rain across scotland and northern england and that is a
10:57 pm
warm front. another front out your bringing rain back into western scotla nd bringing rain back into western scotland and northern ireland through the day but elsewhere it is predominantly dry and cloudy and don't expect much in away of sunshine with glimmers of brightness but while eastern areas will stay in single digits further west, 12 for plymouth and belfast and stornoway are feeling well despite the brisk wind across the north of scotland. friday into saturday, these wriggling weather fronts will bring more rain across northern ireland and scotland and further south and east closer to an area of high pressure, looking predominantly dry and quitea pressure, looking predominantly dry and quite a lot of cloud run through saturday and a fighting chance of some sunshine starting to break through but still outbreaks of rain for parts of northern ireland and western scotland under mild weather, 12- western scotland under mild weather, 12— degrees, through sunday more sunshine and drierair 12— degrees, through sunday more sunshine and drier air by this stage pushing up from the south, breaking apart the cloud and still outbreaks of rain in the far north and west of scotla nd of rain in the far north and west of scotland but it will be quite breezy but generally where ever we see the sunshine it will feel milder for parts of the murray coast we might see temperatures all away up to 111
10:58 pm
degrees. that is pretty impressive for the end of december. as for the last couple of days of 2019 it stays relatively mild and may be a bit cooler for tuesday but there will be lots of dry weather, some rain at times towards the far north and west. that's all from me for now. good night.
10:59 pm
11:00 pm
this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00: spanish police have named the three british holidaymakers who died in a swimming pool on christmas eve. gabriel diya and his two children drowned at a hotel on the costa del sol. anyone that knows i would say the same thing, they were just beautiful, lovely people. more than seventy migrants in small boats have been rescued trying to cross the channel to the uk. at least 16 people are dead and many missing after a typhoon rips through the philipines leaving a trail of devastation. "what's occuring" — more than eleven million people tuned in for the return of gavin and stacey, making it the most watched christmas day programme of the decade. and we'll be taking an in—depth
