heavy rain and gale—force winds approach this island here. but for central and eastern parts of the country, i think friday is looking absolutely fine. after that, a big change on the way. so, from saturday, certainly early as of saturday onwards, we see nasty weather systems lining up there in the atlantic, multiple weather systems, the first of which arriving during the course of the weekend. and from the weekend onwards, we're expecting potentially multiple storms heading in our direction, large waves out to sea, particularly western areas of the uk. we've got high tides, and also a risk of disruption inland because some of those severa gales may well move inland, not just affect coastal areas. and that's because there's a powerful jet stream across the atlantic during the course of the weekend, and this jet stream is basically the wind and rain superhighway sending these nasty weather
11:31 pm
systems in our direction. which part of the uk will be hardest hit by these weather systems? too difficult to say at this stage, but at the moment, it looks as though the whole of the country is at risk of getting some very strong winds. and these gales are likely notjust through this weekend, but through next week as well. there's likely to be some snow across the mountains in the north as well. so, some very rough weather. probably, i'd say, the stormiest period we've seen this winter so far. so, that's it. batten down the hatches, but enjoy the settled weather for now.

a finalflight a final flight charted to bring the final bridge and back from wu hand. —— british people back from wuhan. a "dysfunctional" healthcare system allowed breast surgeon, ian paterson, to perform unnecessary operations on hundreds, possibly on thousands, of women, says a damning report. initial, provisional results at the iowa democratic caucus show pete buttiegieg in the lead, closely followed by bernie sanders. joe biden is in fourth place. a court is told that hashem abedi, brother of the manchester arena bomber, is equally guilty of the murder of the 22 people, who died in the attack. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.
11:34 pm
with me are the broadcaster and author, john kampfner and the deputy poltical editor of the daily express, sam lister. good evening to you both. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the daily mirror focuses on the trial of the brother of the manchester bomber saying he helped his brother plot the murders. a government announcement banning the sale of hybrid cars is called a fiasco. and people feel betrayed by the government as they unveil a scheme over the cost of tv licenses. an david cameron's bodyguard leaving a loaded pistol in an airport
11:35 pm
toilet. let's get started with the front page of the independent, with this alarming headline, get out now. very dramatic escalation in advice from the foreign office. they have been told to leave if they possibly could. if you're being told to leave but not given any way of getting out, i imagine it would be a boring time for you. out, i imagine it would be a boring time foryou. —— out, i imagine it would be a boring time for you. —— worrying. their operations on the way to take certain ribs out but actually they are not going to be flying out all 30,000 brits on a military flight. it is confusing. the distinction has been drawn between advice, which is what this is, and legal guidelines.
11:36 pm
you get two questions over insurance as an individual. countries do not seem as an individual. countries do not seem remotely to be co—ordinating with each other. different countries giving different advice to their nationals. also, it is interesting, it is getting more political. the chinese were particularly angry with the americans forgiving similar advice and using language around pandemic and this sort of thing. i will be interested to see what their reaction is to the british morning. the suspicion that china is under reacting, under responding, under reporting of the numbers, the sheer weight of the effort to deal with it. at the same time, the chinese are getting increasingly exasperated
11:37 pm
with western countries, you get the impression, for almost using this to show the world that china is not the great superpower that it cracks itself up to be. the paper says that the health secretary saying we have not seen the peak of the coronavirus. let's move on because we have quite a lot to get through. the front page of the guardian, this terrible story of ian paterson over a thousand felled victims to the rogue surgeon. what has come out today, we have had this investigation by the right reverend edward james. it is really quite horrific. alarm bells were raised in 2003 but nothing was really done and he has gone to carry on with this
11:38 pm
behaviour for all that time. it really does raise concerns about how whistleblowers are treated. concerns about his behaviour were almost ignored because this kind of people in the nhs are treated like gods and it has been absolutely horrific for these women. he has that this 20 year sentence but i am sure that is not enough for people who have gone through this ordeal. it is the systemic nature which is extraordinary. five hospitals, a mixture of nhs and private and there was a whistleblower but nothing was done. an accusation of whether it is historical or still going on. the nhs tries to close down any sense of culpability, whether it is any surgical malpractice or something more sustained and horrific. the
11:39 pm
first instinct of managers is to look at that balance sheet and think, if we admit to this, we have to pay out to this person and that person. we may see what happens further down the line the details brought out by the enquiry but you just get that sense of an organisation that, whenever there is a problem, turns in on itself rather than say something terrible is happening, we need to look into this particular guy or whatever else is going on but the fact that ian paterson was able to do this for so long... for so many women. one of them had 23 operations. it defies belief. the front page of the daily telegraph, hybrid car fiasco. belief. the front page of the daily telegraph, hybrid carfiasco. this is the announcement by the government. we were expecting,
11:40 pm
obviously we knew that the climate change emergency or crisis, whatever you want to call it, the government wa nts to ta ke you want to call it, the government wants to take a lead on this and we we re wants to take a lead on this and we were expecting this announcement on bringing forward the date when they will be a cut—off of sales of petrol and diesel cars but what is surprising is hybrid cars are also included. if you are a manufacturer oi’ someone included. if you are a manufacturer or someone who is not a hybrid car...i or someone who is not a hybrid car... i have. and you think you're doing your bit for the environment inis doing your bit for the environment in 15 years doing your bit for the environment inis years time doing your bit for the environment in 15 years time you are no longer available to buy one and if you have bought one, i am sorry to say this, you cannot sell it. the government tells you this is the right thing to
11:41 pm
do for the good of the globe and the world and the environment so that you get out that dutifully and with the right thing and you have been hit in the pocket. what will happen to sales of hybrid now? literally from tomorrow. why would you buy one? if you have had one maybe for five years, 15 years from now you would not get much for one anyway. and the economics of all this, one line i thought was really interesting was how the government will replace 28 billion it will lose in fuel taxes when it goes fully electric. i mean, i should go fully electric. i mean, i should go fully electric. the thing that is pushing me off is the lack ofjudging facilities, the fact you have to keep on charging them and the length of the charging takes so long. you
11:42 pm
are so of the charging takes so long. you are so used to driving in a particular way. although, living in london i virtually never move my car fiow london i virtually never move my car now because it is virtually impossible. it is an interesting thing how notjust public policy impossible. it is an interesting thing how not just public policy but by literally closing roads and making driving virtually impossible does change behaviour because you just give up. we are lucky to live in london and have the transport we do. you do not have that luxury in rural areas. the motor industry have said this is not a plan. a lot of legitimacy in that because the infrastructure needed to do this and the revenue to the treasury from petrol and diesel, we went to see that that we need to see the detail of this. i want to go to the daily mailand of this. i want to go to the daily mail and that big picture story at
11:43 pm
the top. the mp‘s daring dress deserve a commotion? the mp in question... tressa problem he was a labour shadow minister. —— tracy. it looked like she was dressed for a night out but this is the problem you have as a woman. as a night out but this is the problem you have as a woman. as a man night out but this is the problem you have as a woman. as a man you can put on your shirt and tie and jacket and everybody looks the same but as a woman you are always in tricky territory. the point is she then suffered this horrific abuse on social media and people were calling her all kinds of horrendous names and actually she has gone on twitter today to take a bit of a challenge today to take a bit of a challenge to these people and said, so what, i w0 re to these people and said, so what, i wore a dress in the house of
11:44 pm
commons, big deal. we were talking about this earlier. it becomes more about this earlier. it becomes more a story about how horrible people are on social media. it is extraordinary. your point on mail address and the lack of variation, is completely right. i remember when theresa may was prime minister, there was one day when she showed a lot of cleavage and i remember every single bit of coverage, and renewal show, everybody was talking about it. which isjust ridiculous. is that human nature or whatever? but the abuse women get on twitter and social media, female mps, one who has left parliament in the last election and the staff she gets is just extraordinary. it is a way of communicating with constituents and you cannot be on social media but
11:45 pm
for women mps, they really do suffer horrendously. let's go back to the front page of the telegraph. an interesting story here. pm asked cameron to head climate summit? it is really interesting. the hybrid story is a good story as well. why would have given more prominence to that. on a number of fronts, so, borisjohnson got rid of claire perry, now clare o'neil, former energy minister, who was his special representative on the climate talk at the same time he is having a row with nicola sturgeon as to whether it should take place in glasgow. his relationship with david cameron is a curious one. two old etonians, very chummy, at the same time cameron
11:46 pm
felt he was stabbed in the back by johnson, who was trying to work out which way he should go ahead of the brexit referendum and, famously, didn't quite toss a coin but decided to go for leave at the last minute and cameron felt betrayed byjohnson and cameron felt betrayed byjohnson and then johnson was estopped from taking over in 2016 when theresa may one “— taking over in 2016 when theresa may one —— and then he was estopped. there is a lot of history. for boris johnson to have offered david cameron thisjob johnson to have offered david cameron this job and for cameron to have turned this down is curious. cameron this job and for cameron to have turned this down is curiousm is interesting. the telegraph says the fact that david cameron has been approached says the pair have finally mended relations, david has turned it down. i am surprised he
11:47 pm
has turned it down. he has finished his memoir, what else has he got to do? maybe the friendship hasn't been fully restored. i would have thought he would have jumped at the chance to have a high profilejob in the world stage. but obviously he has better things to do. indeed. we go back to the front page of the daily e—mail. cameron's bodyguard leaves gun injet. well, e—mail. cameron's bodyguard leaves gun in jet. well, my e—mail. cameron's bodyguard leaves gun injet. well, my bodyguard wouldn't have done that. you'd get a shock, wouldn't you ? wouldn't have done that. you'd get a shock, wouldn't you? you go into one of those cramped toilets, although a sure it was business or first class. a glock pistol, alongside it was the bodyguard's passport and cameron's passport as well. anyway, it is lucky they didn't put it in that disposal bits, where you put the rubbish and the paper towels. it
11:48 pm
would have been interesting to have been the passenger. and if it hadn't been the passenger. and if it hadn't been for the fact that they would have identified him through the passports, the captain would probably have done an emergency landing and it would have been a terrorist incident. i suspect iwobi david cameron's bodyguard for much longer. that is a really bad day in the office —— he won't be. longer. that is a really bad day in the office -- he won't be. we go to the office -- he won't be. we go to the financial times. to news is in brief. sinn fein boys for irish selection break through. -- poised. sinn fein have come up through in the polls. they are surging ahead in the polls. they are surging ahead in the polls. they are surging ahead in the polls. it has taken everybody by surprise. it is interesting, sinn fein, under mary lou mcdonald is quite a modern looking party now.
11:49 pm
the associations of old seem to have been sloughed off in many ways. it is appealing to many people in the way that it perhaps didn't do before in the republic of ireland. so i think not a good day for leo varadkar. i'm sure he is very concerned about the stop indeed. varadkar. i'm sure he is very concerned about the stop indeedlj will concerned about the stop indeed.” will take you to the other story in the briefing. democrats fight to contain iowa chaos. but we have had more news tonight from iowa. the later editions of the papers, i'm sure, will reflect that. peter buttigieg slightly ahead of bernie sanders and joe biden nowhere to be seen. iowa is tiny, 1% of the total, the actual size of the electorate is really small. but nine out of ten democratic vic is in iowa have gone
11:50 pm
on to become the chosen candidate. it doesn't mean they have become president, because they will face off against republican, in this case donald trump. on the way they will have to deal with michael bloomberg. but it is absolutely fascinating. very few people on this side of the pond would have heard of buttigieg now, and they will have heard a lot more from him. the first openly gay american presidential candidate so far. 38, from texas. just the start of his politicaljourney. really interesting. we have a few seconds left. very briefly, the front page of the daily telegraph, sam, just sum it up for us. the daily express. our readers will be upset by this. essentially the prime minister and his government conceding that the battle to keep the tv licence fee
11:51 pm
for over 75 is has been lost. they are putting in place a special payment scheme to help people who struggle spread the cost over 12 instalments. great disappointment for people who have been campaigning on this, our paper particularly. you know, i'm sure borisjohnson will have to explain himself. john. i mean, the bbc is coming onto the cost from this government on a numberof cost from this government on a number of fronts. whether it's the decriminalisation of the license fee, whether it's this, wondering out loud, as the culture secretary has been wondering about the future of the licence fee. when tony hall, the outgoing director—general, got 11 years, and he was forced by george osborne, as it was then, to
11:52 pm
concede on the over 75 's point, he wofi concede on the over 75 's point, he won 11 years for the bbc on the licence fee. and with political headwinds for the bbc, completely changing technology, changing viewing patterns, younger viewers not having that sort of appointment to view at the time when you always expect programmes, except for this programme, they always which the papers at exactly the right time, except when the first bit is knocked off by the foot all... that wasn't ourfault! off by the foot all... that wasn't our fault! i've blamed the bbc for that. you can't say that! on that point... there are many issues facing us. thank you for rattling through that. 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. many thanks to john and sam forjoining me and thank you for watching. goodnight.
11:53 pm
good evening. i'm katie shanahan — and here's your latest sports news. we'll start with the replays from the fourth round of the fa cup as liverpool's youngest—ever starting line—up have beaten shrewsbury town 1—0 at anfield to go through to the next round where they'll face chelsea. with all the details, here adam wild. add and build this was a night for liverpool's kids. this the youngest side they've ever put out. a much the club didn't really want to play, but for shrewsbury and occasioned many had long dreams of stop their high hopes of another night to remember were almost dented by nico williams. his run and shot the closest either side managed on a
11:54 pm
first half that never really got going. the second brought with it a second chance for williams. here perhaps he should have opened the scoring. instead, it was shrewsbury and, in truth, all of and feel to thought the league one side had done just that. a rare attack on the liverpool goal when the ball failed to sean foley, well, it felt like quite a moment. as the travelling fa ns quite a moment. as the travelling fans are celebrated, ba are deliberated. the verdict when it came, no goal. it felt cruel. what followed was perhaps even worse. a long ball forward and shawn williams put his head into his own net. a devastating way to celebrate the tie. liverpool youngsters are celebrated their coming—of—age, their future celebrated their coming—of—age, theirfuture in celebrated their coming—of—age, their future in safe celebrated their coming—of—age, theirfuture in safe hands. adam wild, bbc news. newcastle are also through after they beat oxford 3—2 in extra time. a brilliant piece of individual play by allan saint—maximan to secure the winner for steve bruce's side as they progress to the fifth round for the first time since 2006.
11:55 pm
elsewhere, wins for reading, birmingham and derby. so let's have a look at the fifth round draw. liverpool's win tonight sees them sets up an all premier league tie at chelsea. newcastle will be away at championship leaders, west brom. reading will take on the top flight side sheffield united. but probably the tie that will get everyone talking is derby against manchester united as wayne rooney will be facing his former club in the last 16. the new head of the premier league has said that var does need improving. but it won't be abandoned. richard masters denied the system had been damaging to the league, despite widespread criticism, since var was introduced. he's been speaking to our sports editor, dan roan. obviously there are issues, there are issues with consistency of decision—making, issues of delay, which people don't like. shall you
11:56 pm
scrap the old system, do away with the coming back to the old system?” don't think that is an option. we have to do is try to make var better, we discussed that with clu bs, better, we discussed that with clubs, we discuss that would be gmo, and there are certain things we have already done. example, we have tried to improve the communication and stadium by using different methodologies significant with firms with what is going on. we will have a debate about what sort of var they would like next season. england have been soundly beaten in their first one day international since they won the cricket world cup last summer. they've lost by seven wickets to south africa in cape town, with the hosts chasing down a target of 259. patrick gearey reports. when you're stood at the top of the world, when you go next? the pessimists answer the only way is down. into the hands of a fielder in jason roy's case, a miscalculation we started a chain reaction. a series of batsmen got the sums wrong. south african had them 130
11:57 pm
inch 146. england's crown weighing heavy. they were aligned on animist last yea r‘s party. heavy. they were aligned on animist last year's party. joe donnelly, drop late on from that world cup squad, finally gave the stems elevation. he made 87, but had england gone far enough? 259 was hardly a table mountain of a target. in south africa climbed steadily towards it. englishmen went running for cover. they had little in their attack. without ben stokes and jofra archer, quinton de kock smash them all over cape town, going to a century in his first match as captain. the man at the top of the world have started down—to—earth. patrick geary, bbc news. that's all the sport. you can find all of the goals and reaction from the fa cup on the bbc sport website. bye for now. hello. the weather pattern is very quiet for the next few days, but thatis quiet for the next few days, but that is very much the calm before the storm. high pressure will holding steady with light winds, dry weather, and some sunshine through
11:58 pm
until friday. but for the weekend is going to start very different. here is our high today, centred to the south of the uk. to the west were just picking up a bit more moisture on the breeze and that will get carried into the north of the uk into the day. what does that mean? basically a greater chance of seeing some cloud across northern ireland and scotland. maybe even a few isolated showers for the north and west of scotland. some early fault possible across wales through into the midlands. that should live through the day, but if it sticks in one or two spots a good old debra gersbach. but typically when looking at highs around the 7— a degree mark. but just look how at highs around the 7— a degree mark. butjust look how that picture changes by the end of the week. the high pressure gives up the ghost on friday, enrolled the areas of low pressure from the atlantic for the weekend, and it is going to get stormy.
12:00 am
i'm rico hizon, in singapore. the headlines: the world health organisation says china's drastic measures to contain the coronavirus have given the rest of the world the chance to stop it from spreading. first partial results from the democratic party caucus in iowa give pete buttigieg a narrow lead over bernie sanders. with joe biden back in fourth place. i'm kasia madera, in london. also in the programme: president trump gets ready for his state of the union address, with the economy set to dominate his speech. and in a special bbc report, we meet the children no—one wants, the sons and daughters taken
