and we ll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers benedique paviot and john rentoul. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. overall, like today, a lot of cloud for many areas tomorrow. mostly dry with a lot of passing light showers in the west but things will turn that little bit breezy. clear skies gci’oss that little bit breezy. clear skies across eastern areas tonight. this is where they could be a touch of frost into the morning. very isolated. mostly for three in the west. lots of cloud, some glimpses of sunshine but those fleeting, light showers could push through on that strengthening these in the west. the rest of scotland,

the hebrides, the highlands and shetland at time seeing that rain. shetland seeing a boost in temperatures compared with today. there will be some sunshine in the north—east of scotland, wales and parts of the midlands, and where you have got sunshine, temperatures around 10 celsius. the wins will become more southerly as we go through the night and into monday morning. it should not be too chilly to start with. some cold conditions to east anglia. those southerly winds keeping conditions around 9 degrees taking us conditions around 9 degrees taking us into monday morning. then we see a succession of low pressure system is heading our way. a deep low gci’oss is heading our way. a deep low across iceland on monday throwing these weather fronts in our direction. a wet start for northern ireland with rain spreading across scotla nd ireland with rain spreading across scotland during the day with strong to gale force winds, then the wet and windy conditions spreading into wales and west in england for the afternoon. some parts of central england staying dry. turning sunnier to finish with over northern ireland, and temperatures in double

figures for many. that will lift even further as we go into tuesday. dry, for many during the night but then a deeper area of low pressure, a bigger area, pushing then a deeper area of low pressure, a biggerarea, pushing on, and then a deeper area of low pressure, a bigger area, pushing on, and this could be a disruptive day for weather across the north and west. strong to severe gale force winds, persistent rain across the north—west of scotland. dry to the south and east, with wins here getting close to gale force with 80 mile an hour gusts not out of the question in the north—west of scotland, so some travel disruption possible. but an incredibly mild day for this stage of january with temperatures in the mid teens. 15 for northern ireland, wales, and 61 fahrenheit end in far north—east of scotland. so, some mild weather heading our way but the potential for disruption for the first half of the week, with gale force winds, if not severe gales.

and president of the foreign press association. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the observer says that doubts are growing over the united states case for killing qassem suleimani. it says that donald trumps decision has driven a wedge between washington's relations with its allies. the sunday times says that british troops in iraq are trapped in a tinderbox after the assasination of qassem suleimani. it reports that they're going to be given more firepower to combat any possible attack. the mail on sunday says the prime minister is jetting back to the uk to deal with the iran crisis. the paper says a number of ministers are angry that president trump didn't give the uk prior warning before the attack. the sunday express leads with the foreign office's advice that british tourists in the united arab emirates and israel should remain vigilant — whilst telling tourists in iraq

or iran to leave immediately. the sunday telegraph says that the navy is set to be deployed to guard british ships in the gulf. the independent leads with a report from iran. they say that today's funeral was marked by outpourings of grief and vows of vengeance. the sunday mirror carries a report on milly dowler‘s killer, levi bellfield. all right, let's get into the detail of the iran story damaging the front pages as we would expect. we will start with the sunday telegraph's ta ke start with the sunday telegraph's take on it, and the concerns about british interests in the region. so much so that the navy is sending extra ships there from a personnel to guard them. it's interesting because the straits of hormuz will because the straits of hormuz will be familiar to because the straits of hormuz will be familiartoa because the straits of hormuz will be familiar to a lot of people because only a few months ago we had british ships that had been hijacked by the iranians,

and basically these ships now in the light of the assassination by this american drone strike last friday of general soleimani, there's a whole lot of assessing the various followed and risks that are being done by the british government. when i see the british government. when i see the british government. when i see the british government i'm obviously not referring in an official capacity to the prime minister borisjohnson. what we've got, interestingly. because he is still away. yes and about to jet back. we have a significantly different line from the foreign office and mod, on one hand the foreign office according to the sunday telegraph that really says, look, you can to try to tread a fine line here to avoid in the uk front and centre for any retaliation given this is presented in the uk with a strategic choice, however you have figures of the ministry of

defence pushing for a much more robust of defence of america's unilateral action. the telegraph interestingly on other papers have a quote of ben wallace where he talks about under international law the united states is entitled to defend itself against those posing, i'm quoting, and imminent threat to the citizens. this is because ben wallace points out that there 00:08:26,1000 --> 00:08:27,419 have been, in the last few months, us forces in iraq that appellant repeatedly attacked by forces, iranian forces, and that this is actually to undermine neighbouring sovereign nations. it's interesting because obviously borisjohnson is going to fight back and have important decisions to make. and the foreign secretary will be going come in the coming days, to paris, to berlin and then to washington to come interesting you hadn't noticed

before that it says it's a long planned visit. we are heading in the last few moments that he will meet the foreign secretary, he will meet us secretary of state mike pompeo on thursday. and then going to canada. to pick up on the point in the sunday times the telegraph talks about the vulnerability as see, but there's also vulnerability for british troops that are stationed there on land. we have 400 troops who are training iraqi forces at the invitation of the iraqi government, obviously but they are going to be vulnerable to any counterattack that iranian backed forces might launch. so you can understand why some british ministers are privately angry with the us for not consulting us angry with the us for not consulting us before going ahead with this strike. in the

observer, while the front pages we have looked at so far deal with the fallout, the observer looks at the actual rationale and the case for the assassination that the case for the assassination that the us but forward and the doubts around it. in this idea that this commander was involved in planning an imminent attack, then it was thin. how do you know that by taking out one individual you're going to prevent those attacks? if it is a, if it is something that iran is up to as if it is something that iran is up toasa if it is something that iran is up to as a international troublemaker or source of instability than eliminating one individual is not necessarily going to help the situation, in fact obviously it could make it worse. some observers say, we have a president facing

impeachment at home, something like this very conveniently shifts attention away from that. totally, and that's an obvious statement and criticism to make which is being made particularly in washington and in the states. there is no doubts that that is not over. there will be the whole weeks where the media attention not just in the whole weeks where the media attention notjust in america but across the world will be there on what is a rare event in america and ultimately they will not be successful. with the observer particularly concentrates on its we have not mentioned the word revenge but gathered from the translation it's a severe revenge, that iran is looking at its options and of course this comes at a time, this huge escalation, because to assassinate one person in effect they assassinated when one person,

plus another important leader the former in my six chief and they describe it as an act of war. this is not said lightly, this is something in somebody‘s obvious he has all the intelligence background and even when you have that global order you wa nt when you have that global order you want with the strategy is not informing your allies beforehand is one thing of it that you criticise them for not being in responding to what you'd like it would be very interesting to see is whether the us administration, mike pompeo and others now actually give, share some of that intelligence and some of the possibly strategy that they have. meanwhile you have british tourists according to the sunday telegraph, in the middle east are being told by the foreign office community to

be very vigilant, turkey, dubai this involves thousands of holiday—makers not to mention the 400 british troops were now going to be busy protecting themselves, going to us compounds and also the 1200 british soldiers who were in the gulf. in the other point emerging from all of this which the mail and sunday picks up this which the mail and sunday picks up on, and as a chief political commentator i'm sure the adage that you want a leader to take control in a crisis and to be there, and to lead. the prime minister to my boris johnson is still on holiday. and he is coming back tomorrow. a number of the front pages refer to the fact that he is flying in tomorrow but he has, all modern communications in the caribbean, so if you wanted to say something he could have said it. obviously he's holding back from an explicit statement of support for

the american action or as emmanuel macron has said sort of expressed his reservations about it. one might have to wait till tuesday because borisjohnson is have to wait till tuesday because boris johnson is flying have to wait till tuesday because borisjohnson is flying back indeed but parliament is, everybody is going to be back in parliament will be in session as of tuesday. we're expecting to be covering brexit three days but also now covering this and clearly be updating the house about these events in the british position. also heard he's having meetings on monday. which of the first meetings because if you read these articles it's been others who have chaired three or four cobra meetings and there's some criticism about the fact that boris johnson has not shortened his holiday. different takes on the different papers, saying boris jets different takes on the different papers, saying borisjets into face iran crisis, the observer criticising him for not getting in sooner. it's

interesting, though, that he is rbc taking his time, i think the observer angle is more accurate. that he is reserving his decision and he's got plenty of time until tuesday, but he will have to see something at some point. and as the sunday telegraph says this is his biggest born policy crisis. the sunday telegraph says this is his biggest born policy crisislj won't his biggest born policy crisis.” won't touch a couple of others, a piece on hs two in the cost of this. the taxpayers will lose £40 billion of it goes ahead. deputy chair of the inquiry set up to review it, and

this is one of the things he will have to take over the next month. the next month according to the telegraph. it's one of those things where, one of several 00:16:11,1000 --> 00:16:13,130 things that was fudged in the manifesto in the election less than a month ago. that paragraph is... does not have to hedge his bets any more. this is obviously an attempt to influence in a particular direction. there's no question that lord buckley would quote the most unfavorable figures, but it clearly would be a very expensive decision to go ahead with. which interesting is that the lord calls for ministers to quote, but a new budget to parliament for approval, change the scope of the project or cancel it. i mean, you know, it's it's in their burning issue to deal with on top of the iran situation and also another bit of people will
