11:33 pm
hello. this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — with john stapleton and katherine foster. first, the headlines: the man found guilty of murdering the british backpacker grace millane in new zealand has been sentenced to life in prison. grace's mother has
11:34 pm
this message for him. a suspected far—right gunman kills 9 people in two shootings, in shisha bars in germany — the victims were all immigrants. a man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, after a stabbing, at a london mosque. towns underwater along the river severn but more rain is forecast for northern parts of the uk. the challenges of a school run — the teenager testing the law on one councils obligation to provide transport. bringing us tomorrow. with me are broadcaster john stapleton and sunday times journalist katherine
11:35 pm
forster.most of tomorrow's front pages are now in. the metro leads with the stabbing incident at the london central mosque, earlier today, at which a man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. the times claims that a windrush review, which originally concluded the home office was "institutionally racist", has been watered down — according to sources. the home secretary is facing a backlash over claims that 8.5 million uk adults can take place of low—skilled foreign workers — that's according to the i. the telegraph says ministers will tomorrow announce plans to ban domestic coal, the financial times reports on wall street banks turning
11:36 pm
to retail banking for growth — with morgan stanley's acquisition of an online trading platform, the latest in the trend. the guardian carries an analysis which suggests that some parts of britain now have one aianb listing, for every 4 properties. the mirror leads with the revelation that the actress, damejulie walters, has beaten bowel cancer, 18 months after she was diagnosed. so a varied set of front pages, let's see what our reviewers make of it all. sta rt start with the font page of the times in this watered—down version of the windrush review. it sounds like there have been a couple of iterations. wendy williams, inspector of the constabulary has conducted this investigation. according to the times report, quoting sources as you rightly say, the original version accused the home office of being institutionally racist over the windrush affair. you
11:37 pm
remember there being issues, insta nces remember there being issues, instances in which a number of people were either detained or deported. despite the fact they had every right to live here, they've not committed any crime whatsoever. a terrible scandal. the home office was institutionally racist and also said the home office had been reckless in developing a defensive culture of immigration policy but both those sentiments apparently have now been taken out of that report. labour mp david lammy who campaigned on behalf of the victims, he said the rights were denied because of the colour of their skin, thatis because of the colour of their skin, that is not institutionally racist, i have no idea what is. it's been toned down, watered—down, other members of that committee, it will be leaked and confirmed and that is
11:38 pm
what embarrassment for the home office but there is another one in that report as well. there is, another, more trouble for priti patel. news she was trying to get rid of her permanent secretary and have been allegations of bullying basically. officials have described aggressive and violent behaviour, apparently other people have said, spoken not favourably about her behaviour when she was at the department for work and pensions and they are saying number ten was told about this in 2017 so obviously for priti patel, this is awkward, to put it mildly. the home office is always a poisoned chalice and theresa may was one of the longest serving people in charge of the home office but it sounds like priti patel has some difficulties. there are two
11:39 pm
views. when i heard expressed today, talking to people close to the home office, was that she is a demanding minister but she is not a bully, she makes a thoughts plane but she certainly had an argument with her permanent secretary and that is described as a basic fundamental disagreement. some reports saying he isa disagreement. some reports saying he is a stickler for the law, she takes a more relaxed view, according to these reports, and more relaxed view over what is permissible over some of these disagreements but it doesn't read well for the home secretary. we need to point out the home office has said there has not been a formal complaint. but you do have to wonder, if there is this sort of tension within the home office, howard of the workout that working relationship. there are
11:40 pm
environments where the we experience bullying. if that's the case, it's very difficult indeed. let's turn to the front page of the mirror, dame julie walters, who speak in bowel cancer. we have that interview with victoria derbyshire where she spoke about that. you've got a lot to say on this. as some viewers may know, my wife does the paper review, was a broadcast with me on the watchdog programme. 29 years ago this week actually, lynn was diagnosed with exactly the same thing, third stage bowel cancer. our son was three yea rs old bowel cancer. our son was three years old at the time and i can remember the moment she came back in from seeing our gp, looking very shocked understandably. she gone to check out what had been fairly common symptoms for bowel cancer. shejust common symptoms for bowel cancer. she just walked back into the room and said, i've got cancer. it was a frightening morning. ithought,
11:41 pm
what, what kind of cancer? bowel cancer. we didn't even really know what bowel cancer was at that stage. she dedicated the rest of her life to campaigning bowel cancer. she would join many people in commending julie walters for her courage in coming out and talking about this because the more people talk about it, the better. when lynn started campaigning about it, it was not that important. deemed not important by some people. the good news is of course, many people survived. lynn survived it for 29 years. when you get one of these screening kits. go and do it. it's not everyone's idea of fun.
11:42 pm
and do it. it's not everyone's idea offun. i and do it. it's not everyone's idea of fun. i resisted it initially. when the story broke and chatting withjohn, i when the story broke and chatting with john, i had when the story broke and chatting withjohn, i had a quick google. would you know the symptoms?” wouldn't, i know that's bad. i think obviously it's wonderful that julie walters is clear and cancer was for so walters is clear and cancer was for so long seen as a death sentence, whatever type it was, we are increasingly getting better. we don't have a survival rate compared to lots of other countries around the world, britain is not really leading the way that our treatments is improving and this is great news forjulie walters, she is 69, she had part of the removed now she is clear. thanks her colon. i haven't had cancer but i've had helps —— her
11:43 pm
colon. i've had a health scare you think about the day—to—day problems you are facing. she spoke of her fear of the actual treatment and the chemotherapy. 29 years ago, how was lynn's treatment? very good and she was very lucky, she didn't have to have chemotherapy and she believes people should be given the choice to haveit people should be given the choice to have it or not. because that is a problem for many people understandably because it results in all sorts of agony. it can do anyway. the treatment was fine. she's been well served on and off by the health service. you were rightly told off by her when you through that getaway. she made me do it and then she wrote a piece about it. quite widely. let's turn to the front of the guardian and really sad news. we had the attack early today but yesterday, it was germany and hanau. this terror attack in germany and nine people, the killer killed
11:44 pm
himself and his mother. nine people dead at two shisha bars at hanau near frankfurt. horrendous and this has been following a pattern of increased far right activity, terroristic body, specifically, right across europe really but specifically germany have had bigger problems because angela merkel, welcomed with open arms, said, we can do this. at the syrian and refugees come. that opened the floodgates. it was very difficult to control. lots of people in germany are very resentful, especially eastern germany, that they are not an expected economically as well off and they feel these people are coming and taking resources or their jobs or whatever. it is terrible, it is terrible but it does sound like the attack today in regent's park in london, luckily the gentleman is ok, is expected to survive but also it
11:45 pm
sounds like it's not a terror offe nce. sounds like it's not a terror offence. it was not a member of the mosque, he went regularly. metropolitan police have said it was in no way related to terror. there we re in no way related to terror. there were so many in no way related to terror. there were so many strands of pyrite ideology. —— far right. were so many strands of pyrite ideology. -- far right. apparently radicalised on the internet. busy pa rt of radicalised on the internet. busy part of being a group or not? we thought he was a lone wolf operating, saying strange things about wanting entire minorities written off, that's not the wrong word, eradicated. horrible things. clearly very disturbed but what prompted him to do this on this particular day, it's always a mystery to me. why did they commit these sort of acts today but as catherine was rightly saying, angela
11:46 pm
merkel talked about the poison in their society and racial hatred is a poison and they have it in their society. in their synagogue, two people killed, the politician killed, a trustee in munich, it's a big problem in germany, it's a problem to a lesser extent in this country the rise of extreme right—wing parties in this country is disturbing, i was reading a piece the other day about the terrorist potential terrorist attacks that have been ported, extorted by security services in the uk in the la st security services in the uk in the last 12 months. three of them were extreme right—wing organisations. he went back and killed his mother, the 10th of victim so elements of misogyny. let's turn to the front of the male and dangers lurking in your
11:47 pm
toxic takeaway. not what you want to hear on toxic takeaway. not what you want to hearona toxic takeaway. not what you want to hear on a friday! 100,000 cases every single year. 380,000 cases of food borne cases with two—thirds linked to eating out or takeaway meals. one of the reasons for this is the demise of virtual elimination of environmental health officers in this country who used to go and do these checks another useful service which has been eradicated or cut back dramatically. arguably with these consequences. how do you resolve it? increasing checks on the establishments, i guess.” resolve it? increasing checks on the establishments, i guess. i have ta keaway establishments, i guess. i have takeaway is very often but the whole
11:48 pm
family went through the virus and we have never been so ill. i would not wish it on anybody. i do not think i will be rushing to the takeaway or indeed restaurants as well. cook at home and cook from scratch. let's go to the telegraph and it says qualifier band in the fight to cut emissions. an end to this and it could hit rural households? they are planning to ban the sale of gold from next year and some type of wedgewood so obviously if you live anything countryside... not all cold. no, there is a type from south
11:49 pm
wales that if you are using it it is afine...| wales that if you are using it it is a fine... i cannot read about. citydwellers are all right but it will affect people and how they hate their homes. it brings forward the ban of not only petrol and diesel ca rs ban of not only petrol and diesel cars but also hybrids and now they are also talking about putting up fuel duty because they have not raised tax on fuel for about ten yea rs. raised tax on fuel for about ten years. and, of course, we need to make these changes but it will affect lots of people. we will be the first country to do it. i am not aware of any other country, are you? ido aware of any other country, are you? i do not know and when you read that nitty—gritty, in actualfact, we will not be able to have a bag of coal delivered but you will be able to have loose skull of two 2023 so
11:50 pm
it is more nuanced. good news for wells producing the smokeless coal but i suppose it would be more expensive. let's go back to the guardian. and air b&b. expensive. let's go back to the guardian. and air 8&3. our son expensive. let's go back to the guardian. and air 3&3. our son has had air b8b guardian. and air 3&3. our son has had air b88 and it works really well for them. it is claiming had air b88 and it works really well forthem. it is claiming here had air b88 and it works really well for them. it is claiming here that it can be out of control, so prevalent in some parts that they have one listing for every four poverty which the expansion they say is out of control. for people like my son and many others who air b8b their home, in london, if it is not your home you can only do it for 90
11:51 pm
days but for them it is working well. the system seems pretty well run. so you have a warning about the landlord and the person doing it so it seems to work well but it is diminishing the house market. this is largely at its worst in the touristy areas, lake district, edinburgh, 29 out of 100 homes which is astonishing. 3ut, edinburgh, 29 out of 100 homes which is astonishing. but, of course, in some ways, it is better than the second homes that people only use for a small. during the year. but we do have a housing shortage and it is not helping. it must impact on the
11:52 pm
hotel industry, particularly for small hotels. 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 dot co uk and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. and asjohn said, you can also buy a newspaper. from us, good night. good evening, i'm austin halewood, with the latest sports news. it's been another busy night of football across europe. 16 ties have taken place in the knockout stage of the europa league. 5 british teams in action. wolves and arsenal both managed a win, while manchester united could only draw in brugge.
11:53 pm
nick parrott reports: trips to europe can be exciting and glamorous but bruges was far from a romantic away from manchester united. while the fans were trying to keep warm, the team was kept cold. a first assessed by a goalkeeper in the europa league in four seasons. dennis the happy recipient. sergio romero insured he did not get another. the alertness of martial to make something out of nothing, will mean that ole gunnar solskjaer will have a slight advantage on the return leg. a fantastic atmosphere at their home ground having the desired effect on espanyol. diogo
11:54 pm
ground having the desired effect on espa nyol. diogo jota ground having the desired effect on espanyol. diogojota taking advantage of some poor defending after a quarter of an hour. if that wasn't scrappy, neves made up of it by producing this masterpiece. it was well worth the wait. two more from diogojota was well worth the wait. two more from diogo jota me was well worth the wait. two more from diogojota me he claims to consecutive patrick's and provides wolves a place in the last 16. the only goal in greece with less than ten minutes to go. well celtic and rangers were both in action as well. celtic were held to a draw in copenhagen but it was a brilliant night for rangers at ibrox. they came back from 2—nil day to win 3—2 on the night. imran sidat watched the action. denmark has not been the happiest of destinations for celtics. they have not won here in 36 years but the faithful were in an optimistic mood in copenhagen and that optimism was
11:55 pm
almost rewarded instantly with barely 25 seconds on the clock a great chance. he did not have to wait long for another chance and this time he did not make any mistakes. 3000 travelling fans went into rapture. but then a renewed sense of purpose in the second half and back on level terms seven minutes in. with the game heading for a job, varjudged a handball and penalty. a crucial touch meant they finished even. thejob to be finished even. thejob to be finished at celtic park next week. this stunning effort leaving alan mcgregor with no chance. that is how it stayed with almost an hour on the clock until this on debut. was there any way back for rangers? they
11:56 pm
thought so. they pulled one back. he famous footballing father approved. backed by a partisan crowd, they could smell blood. an equaliser and it was a game on in glasgow. stephen gerard's side could smell a winner. the combat was complete with a free kick. it may only be have time in this type of this would surely be a huge psychological advantage for rangers to take to portugal. roger federer says he can't wait to be back playing tennis again soon. the 20—time grand slam champion is set to miss the french open and the next three months of the tour after having knee surgery. he had been putting it off but says the longstanding problem wasn't getting any better. he's targetting a return for the grass court season and an 9th wimbledon title. that's all the sport for now.
