what's not to directors, i mean, what's not to want? nearby, pinewood studios has been at the centre of the uk's industry but demand for studio space outstrips supply. there is a diverse shortage of studio space in the uk, there aren't enough sites of sufficient scale. and in a job that needs to become located around the south—east with access to london and heathrow et cetera, so if an international company is coming to watch the film in the uk, that is where they need to be. today was something of a trailer for the where they need to be. today was something of a trailerfor the main feature. this industry knows how to build excitement and interest and the prospect of blockbusters made in berkshire will dojust the prospect of blockbusters made in berkshire will do just that. alastair fee, bbc south today. now it's time for the weather with ben rich. hello. with numerous flood warnings in force across the uk, what we could really do with is a prolonged speu could really do with is a prolonged spell of dry weather. this is the position of the jet strea m this is the position of the jet stream at the moment steering

weather systems around the world and as you can see it is steering weather systems in our including this frontal system here, sliding slowly eastward, bringing further out breaks of heavy rain particularly over high ground in southern scotland, northern england and wales where we already have a lot of water flowing through the river catchments. as we go through thursday this band of rain will work eastwards and contained within this there will be a short and sharp burst of torrential downpours with some squally and gusty wind. behind the rain things will brighten up with sunshine but it will turn colder from the north as the day wears on and we will see showers across northern ireland and scotland, even to lower levels at times and for the scottish mountains there are likely to be blizzard conditions because the wind will pick up again as we head towards the end of the day. through thursday night briefly this ridge of high pressure will provide dry weather but he comes another frontal system for friday. it looks like this one

will affect the northern half of the uk on friday seven northern ireland, scotland, parts of northern england we will see bricks of rain. further south it is predominantly dry. a windy day and particularly for south—east scotland and north—east england, east of the pennines could have some disruption given the strength of the wind. milder game for friday with temperatures of io— 12 degrees. on saturday a week frontal system in the south essentially a day of sunny spells and showers, showers are wintry across northern areas were and showers, showers are wintry across northern areas were again it will be very windy and rather chilly. towards the south, a relatively mild day. as we moved to the second half of the weekend you can see wriggling frontal system making a beeline for the british isles bringing outbreaks of rain, uncertainty as to how much whether we uncertainty as to how much whether we will see exactly but somewhere there will be a dividing line of whether stop to the north, sunshine and wintry showers and it will feel

chilly. in the south, quite mild, 15 degrees in london on sunday afternoon. enter monday that jetstrea m afternoon. enter monday that jetstream i spoke about will be spending up quite a deep area of low pressure, we spending up quite a deep area of low pressure, we suspect, passing close to the north of scotland and uncertainty about exactly how deep and strong the wind will be but very windy indeed across scotland on monday with outbreaks of rain. further south not as not quite as windy and milder again towards the south. the reason for the splitting temperature is because by the start of next week the jetstream is expected to be on top the british isles, dividing cold airfrom mild air. and then from the middle of the week it looks like thatjetstream will slip southwards and aim to turn colderfor all will slip southwards and aim to turn colder for all of will slip southwards and aim to turn colderfor all of us. with will slip southwards and aim to turn colder for all of us. with the jetstrea m colder for all of us. with the jetstream close by we will see further showers and longer spells of rain and in practice we get towards the end of the week it looks like we could persistent wet weather returning. there is a lot to play for still between now and then, many

days away. next week it looks like it will be colder for a time and we will see rain and snow over the hills are cold enough for that and it will often be windy but certainly not the dry spell we might be looking for. hello. this is bbc news with julian worricker. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first, the headlines. workers judged to be low—skilled and low paid won't get a visa reports from germany say at least eight people have been shot dead in the town of hanau. they took place at two mac two mac bars in a town east of frankfurt. —— at two shisha bars. workers judged to be low—skilled and low paid won't get a visa to enter the uk under government plans for a points—based immigration system. ministers say it's what the public wants. in 2016 in the referendum and in the 2017 election and again, reaffirmed in 2019 during the election, the public voted and spoke clearly that they want immigration to come down.

the government wants more training for local people — there'll be no visas for lower—paid jobs in areas like hospitality and social care. the government has announced today that apparently care is considered to be low—skilled. that's an amazing slap in the face for every single carer up and down the country. hundreds of passengers are released from a cruise ship quarantined off japan for over two weeks as more people on board test positive for coronavirus. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are author and journalist rachel shabi and katy balls, the deputy political editor of spectator. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the telegraph leads

with a warning from the head of ofsted that a £14 billion boost in education to be outlined in the upcoming budget, will be wasted by poorly managed schools. the financial times reports that big tech companies may have to share their troves of data with smaller rivals under proposals by the eu. on the front page of the times, a report on clashes amongst staff at the home office as well as a story about how high street retailers fear stock shortages as the coronavirus crisis hits the supply chain. the metro says 8 million economically inactive british workers could pick up the work that's being denied to low—skilled eu migrants under the new immigration plans. the i reports that ms patel admits her own family could not have moved to uk under new points system. on the front of the daily mail — house prices have risen in every region of the uk for the first time

in almost two years. and the mirror leads with flooding in south wales as a passer—by saves woman who had been stranded on her carfor 12 hours. deep into those into more detail. rachel, start us off with the coronavirus coverage in the times. yes. stores are now worrying about their stock depleting and their fear that there will be gaps on store shelves because the coronavirus, covid-19 shelves because the coronavirus, covid—19 prices is forcing asian can container ships to cancel their sailing to britain. and a lot of the stock and the parts for many major manufacturers are produced in china and in that region. 50 some of the

world's biggest companies, according to this piece, wondering how to respond. there is detail here about jaguar land rover that has a p pa re ntly jaguar land rover that has apparently been flying components out of china in suitcases. i think that points to the drastic element of this shortage. apple recently announced a shortage of iphones as a consequence is well. it is a big impact for major companies. economic consequences have not been focused on, inevitably, because it is health that matters straightaway but it does look more serious than other areas now full and that is also because there has been a delay to economic consequence. when the virus first broke out it was the time of the annual holiday and people were on holiday for chinese new year at the time. as soon as it gets to the point where everyone is meant to return to work, they find out they cannot or large swathes of the

population cannot do that in a job we have to be in a place with other people, you cannot work remotely. that means it will start to hit the global economy. i think this is the first of more to come although the virus has been contained in some areas it has not been contained to an extent where things can return to normal. i think we will see more stories like this. and some of these big names, apple talking about a shortage of iphones. and that is the scale. it crosses sectors as well. it starts off by listing a lot of companies in the fashion industry but it goes across sectors, as we can see, manufacturing, phones, gcb has already curbed production at 11 domestic plants because of shortage. sector by sector they feel the heat. a headlining quotes here. a million brits can fill the low skilljobs

93p- brits can fill the low skilljobs gap. i think that is from the home secretary. and putting it into quotes means that maybe they are not taking the home secretary at her word on this claim stop this is in response to the government's plans for a point based immigration system released yesterday and ultimately saying because they will be cracking down on low skill walkers from other countries, the because you now need to meet sector by sector criteria. places such as the hospitality industry will be hard. the government says it will not be an issue because there are 8 million british people who can step in and it will benefit uk workers. the catch is that if you look at these economically inactive british people being referred to here, many of them are students and carers, people and long—term sick leave. they will not be easy to rally towards this and i think that is one of the potential obstacles with what is proposed. clearly we see businesses worried.

economically inactive people, a curious phrase and it does not quite tell the full story. i suspect they had to use this phrase because they cannot refer to the shortfall being made up by britain's unemployed because they have been saying for the last few years that we have record low levels of unemployment stop so they had to magic up this bit of population that can fill the shortages in sectors, all sectors are warning of. we're talking about social care because that is one of the big ones but it goes across construction, catering, hospitality, retail. you would be hard pressed to find a sector that will not affected by this. and as katie was saying, once you crunch down the numbers that they referred to, it turns out that they referred to, it turns out that just 12% of that figure actually are able. 6.61 million of

that eight jr million want a job, sorry, do not want a job for various reasons. they are sick or have retired or they are students or they are caring. 1.8 7 million would like are caring. 1.8 7 million would like a job. but i know we talked about this a bit in the early session and i think it is important to disrupt this frame a little bit because this is something that the government has decided we should look at immigration only in economic terms. the consequences are far more far ranging. there will be an economic hit because every study has shown that migrants bring more benefit economically than they take away and it is just basic. we are economically than they take away and it isjust basic. we are bringing in a population that was educated at the expense of another country but we the expense of another country but we benefit from their skills and education and we benefit from the tax they pay in this country. it is

basic. a commonsense thing that economically we will benefit. but it is also just economically we will benefit. but it is alsojust a economically we will benefit. but it is also just a fact that countries only develop and progress and improve when they are exposed to difference and diversity and to other countries and cultures. that is how you get progress and how you get a country to thrive. we will end up get a country to thrive. we will end up with a diminished country in ways that go far beyond the economic if the government does not understand this basic concept of immigration. how do you deal with the politics of this when people voted to see immigration figures for mr mark you keep saying that but 52% of the population did not vote for this government. therefore 52% of the country, if not more, do not support these immigration policies. the honest. very much the tories look at their voters and particularly some

of their new voters and they think that talking tough on immigration something they want to hear that if you look at various poles there is often a majority in favour of immigration coming down. but i also think andi immigration coming down. but i also think and i suspect rachel may disagree, i don't think this government describes itself as anti—immigration. there is a difference in how they talk about what they call high skilled immigrants and low skill. one of the first things this government is talking about is creating special visas for science and other industries. broadly speaking we want the best and the brightest but the other consequence is seeing a cracking down on low skills. but where there is an issue is social care. many people who care for their family, they are not worthless. they bring a lot of worth and i think

that if that and the practicum that the government has said they will look at solving the social care crisis. so it is potentially heading to more difficulties if you also limit the staff. some things still need to be ironed out the whole thing about this system is that it is flexible. you can move set is in and out. so i wonder if yes, they talk tough today but by the time you reach january and the new system is in place it may look a little different. rachel. the care sector, it is important and it has big shortages that has now been compounded by further restriction that means because it is placed in an unskilled category, apparently, which is insulting to a care worker, it also makes it harder to fit the criteria. again, i mean, you say that this brings flexibility. i

seriously doubt that stop i think that once you impose another level of bureaucracy and criteria it makes it more difficult to manage an immigration system. you are building a new architecture and it will be much more difficult and much more punitive because you will then have to crackdown on the increased number of people you are excluding. let's move onto other matters for time reasons as much anything else. the telegraph has an interesting story. this is money that we are expecting to be announced in rishi sunak‘s budget, not sajid javid's. the chief inspector of schools in england has said that there is a reason to suspect some schools will miss spanned or won't prioritise the right things and actually it won't be used in the way it is supposed to

be used in the way it is supposed to be used. it's worth pointing out there is quite a quick rebuttal from those who might be receiving the money, saying they appreciate the research but actually, if people are going to accuse schools of squandering cash previously, it is in part because they have been so low infunding in part because they have been so low in funding to begin with. we weren't supposed to know about this, though, where we? rachel, disappeared online when it wasn't supposed to. it was online yesterday by accident but it was quickly taken down. obviously not quick enough for the telegraph to grab it. i think what katy is referring to is if you have had 8% cut in real terms since 2010, then there is going to be short polls that won't immediately be up even if there is a gas injection that the government is promising in the next budget —— shortfalls. so it makes sense that some of the areas that of that is pointing to critically, saying schools have cut areas such as languages and music, they have had to do that because of kites, not

because they have made bad choices —— ofsted saying. because they have made bad choices -- ofsted saying. and i suppose managing a budget is made harder if it goes down and then suddenly up again. how do you plan for that? and one thing is the sustainability of any changes or things you bring back in. so the consistency of the budget going forward. i think it is going to create some hurdles. i also think we are potentially seeing the outlines of a blame game later down the line if schools don't... shockingly, in politics if schools don't significantly improve. i suspect we won't be hearing closer to the government's side suggesting it isn't on them, it is actually on how they spend the cash. and this one mexit in six weeks' time. they will lose buckingham palace base in april. they have a series of royal engagements that they are going to

honour, including the commonwealth series and the invictus games. a couple of other engagements they have between now and the start of april. they are still in discussion over april. they are still in discussion over what they are then going to — their branding. they have spent time branding themselves as sussex royals, but it's now not clear whether they will be able to move forward and branch out using that name. and also as we were talking last time around, the implication of thatis last time around, the implication of that is that it will all go quiet from the end of march onwards in newspaper terms. it clearly won't. yes they want privacy, and it is clear they have been put under unfair scrutiny, or have felt that way. i don't think it was notjust because they have not taking public money. if they are using positions for the things that are questionable

and relationships with banks, things, you know, noncharitable things, you know, noncharitable things, which they are going to have to do, because they are financing themselves, i think that is what is going to be in the newspapers and there will be a focus on that even though they would probably like to live a quiet life and you publicity only on their terms. they will be in canada more than a year, is the theory. or potentially america. thank you very much indeed. —— in canada more than here. 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 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, rachel shabi and katy balls. goodbye. i'm just going to bring you up—to—date on the breaking news we we re up—to—date on the breaking news we were talking about in the last 20 minutes or so. this is the latest we have from germany where reports are

now have from germany where reports are now saying at least eight people have been shot dead. this was in an incident in a town of hanau, east of frankfurt. we can see pictures of police activity on the ground in the town. according to reports, and these were original broadcast media reports as well as reuters, the shootings took place at two shisha bars in the town. please could not confirm the number of dead but said at least six people were seriously injured. you can see that the police are on the scene on the ground in these pictures, but we have been told police helicopters are flying above as well. the government is expected to be at large. —— gunman. we are told there were two incidents in two separate shisha bars and eight people have been shot dead.

let's bring you up—to—date with the world of sport. here's the latest sports news. good evening, i'm austin halewood with your latest sports news. manchester city manager pep guardiola says he will "100%" stay at the club — after city were punished by uefa for breaching financial fair play rules. he was speaking after their 2—0 win over west ham — their first match since they were given a two—year champions league ban and fined £25 milion as well. but the team didn't look fazed on the pitch. this headerfrom rhodri opening the scoring for city in the first half. that was supplied by man of the match kevin de bruyne who scored in the second to wrap up the victory. and after the game guardiola says he's comitted to the club. if they don't sack me i will be here, no matter what happens. i've said it before, i like it here, this

occasional threat, stephen forcing a decent save. the first half was almost entirely leipzig's and if it wasn't for the goalkeeper, they would have been clear at the break. spurs finally cracked. driving home the penalty, it was the least leipzig deserved and they should have had more. but for all their dominance, they couldn't take their chances and they nearly paid for it. as spurs finally stirred and giovanni went agonisingly close, hope for the second leg wherejose mourinho knows they have it all to do. atalanta's incredible first season in the champions league keeps getting better after they thrashed valencia 4—1 in the first leg of their last 16 tie in italy. remo freuler with the pick of the goals against the two—time finalists. and in the scottish cup there was a 7—goal thriller

short—lived rain on this front as it continues to move southwards and eastwards through the afternoon. ahead of it, it will be fairly mild, ten or 11 degrees. gusty winds as well but once that front moves through temperatures will drop dramatically as the skies brighten up. then it is sunshine and so as elsewhere, the show is heavy, maybe with some hail and thunder in the north with some snow on the mountains of scotland. down to lower levels it will be quite cold here and those very strong winds here might see some blizzard conditions on the mountains. that rain eventually clears the south—east later on thursday, clear skies following but it will stay breezy. lots of showers across the north. showers turning to longer spells of rain towards the end of the night. in the south, fairly chilly with lengthy, clear skies with those temperatures rising in the north—west. this is the prototype of friday, we have another sister moving in, lots of isobars and the chanceisit moving in, lots of isobars and the chance is it is going to be a windy day. these showers affecting the northern half of the country so it will be a north— south divide. rain
