11:30 pm
to relatively low levels. blizzard conditions over the mountains, and icy surfaces. treacherous travelling conditions here. a chilly day in the north, with that milder air holding onto the south. the jet stream continues to pass across the british isles on sunday, bringing us this wriggling waterfront. that's another dose of rain to come in parts of wales, maybe northern england, may be the midlands, as we go into the first part of sunday. that rain should move away east through the day. that will allow something drier and brighter, still with one or two showers. we get back into the cooler hour as the day goes on. temperatures in the afternoon are between six and ii temperatures in the afternoon are between six and 11 degrees. as we move out of sunday and into monday, the jet stream will deliver this area of low pressure. this looks like quite a deep low passing just to the north—west of the british isles. as this band of wet weather i’u ns isles. as this band of wet weather runs into the cold air, they could be significant snow across parts of scotla nd be significant snow across parts of scotland on monday morning. that is one worth bearing in mind for the monday morning commute. with that area of low pressure, strong winds,
11:31 pm
gail is likely in scotland. further south, we will see outbreaks of rain at times, mild in the south, again, chilly in the north. tuesday, our area of low pressure clears away and we all get into some cold air. you can see the showers pushing on. some of them falling as rain, but also hailand of them falling as rain, but also hail and sleet and snow over high ground. even in wales and the south—west we could see snow mixing it over high ground. tuesday into wednesday, ridge of high pressure should rise that tries to topple its way in. wednesday should be another chilly day with a north or north—westerly wind, but the wind may ease to an extent under the showers will ease through the day as well so we will see more dry weather and spells of sunshine, with those top temperatures in single digits between six and nine degrees. as we head through the end of the week and into next weekend, remember, thejet strea m into next weekend, remember, thejet stream will still be bringing weather systems in our direction. it could be that we see further deep areas of low pressure. certainly there is more wind and rain in the
11:32 pm
forecast. here are some city forecasts to take us through the end of next week and into the weekend. you can see rain at times and it will often be windy and generally it is going to be on the chilly side. no sign of a prolonged dry spell in the forecast.
11:33 pm
hello. this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines: on their way home: around 35 british passengers have disembarked the diamond princess, after more than two weeks in quarantine, off the coast of japan. we are coming home, we are seeing our family and we can't wait but also, in a way, it is strange, it feels as though
11:34 pm
it has been our home for all that time. royals no more — prince harry and meghan won't be allowed to use the word, as a brand name. this is my diazepam for this morning. that's valium. life addicted to prescription painkillers — we have a special report, as campaigners say more must be done to understand their impact. my pain in my hip got a bit better. i started to notice that i still had all of these issues i put down to my pain but i think they were more related to pain medication. coming up, going to disneyland: hundreds of thousands of pounds raised for this young man after a video revealing the impact of bullying, captured hearts all over the world. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.
11:35 pm
with me are yasmin alibhai—brown, the author and columnist, and benedicte paviot, anglo—french broadcaster and correspondent for france 24. most of tomorrow's front pages are now in. the ft reports that hmrc has created a secretive unit to crack down on the use of investment companies by wealthy families. the i leads with ofsted research which, the newspaper says, reveals a debt crisis and deep cutbacks at schools. the mail says the veteran broadcaster, david dimbleby, has criticised borisjohnson amid the row over the bbc licence fee. the mirror leads with an emotional tribute from rugby star danny cipriani, to his ex—girlfriend caroline flack, who took her own life last weekend. the telegraph carries an investigation, which suggests people trying to offset their emissions risks could be doing
11:36 pm
more harm than good. the guardian reports on documents, seen by the newspaper, which suggest teachers and doctors may prompt counter—terrorism inquiries when they seek advice about the government's prevent strategy. and ryanair‘s boss is calling for muslim men to be profiled at airports — that's according to an interview in the times. so, a varied set of front pages — let's see what our reviewers make of it all. the front page of the guardian and the warning to teachers and adopt as over terrell referral. this is quite an interesting report but it is led i think by the liberty, the organisation which takes care and safeguards out privacy and liberty. it is quite complicated. referrals
11:37 pm
are quite common when doctors and teachers have worries and they have a lwa ys teachers have worries and they have always had this channel and the aim is to help children who are being radicalised and to safeguard the public. if somebody finds in and asks for advice, which is not the same thing as asking for a referral, they could be an automatic referral trigger and that is what they are worried about but i think this is much more complicated. i think a lot of people now, even muslims who are against prevent i thinking now that it is being used for white children groomed as hard right believers that there is something good about it or not good but necessary. on the other hand,it not good but necessary. on the other hand, it has been so badly done for
11:38 pm
so hand, it has been so badly done for so long that it has created huge mistrust. i am so long that it has created huge mistrust. iam kind so long that it has created huge mistrust. i am kind of torn between the two positions. it is difficult because public—sector workers, teachers and doctors, do not want to do what they consider to be the job of police and intelligence services. on the other hand, the police and intelligence services need to be helped and what we should point out is that these public sector workers are legally bound to report when they do have concerns but what this heavily redacted copy that the guardian has obtained via the group liberty that got it from a freedom of information act, they concern as you say that they could be automatic referrals to the anti— radicalisation programme but whether it is britain, france, germany, we have seen our society grappling with
11:39 pm
the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion, the freedom of association and the freedom of the media which of course we all must have ta ken for media which of course we all must have taken for granted... media which of course we all must have taken for granted. . ij media which of course we all must have taken for granted... i always think, on how we help young muslim children who have various troubles. some of them are completely ordinary before they are radicalised. if we talk about well—being and not security. well—being is a national agenda now, we should be caring about people, young people all of us. about people, young people all of us. if we take away the security lands and start looking at how is racism affected muslim children, do they have good relationships with they have good relationships with the parents. this is part of a report we are launching in the house of commons in march. most muslims are not terrorist or radicalised but
11:40 pm
we have a problem and it would be stupid to deny it stop but i think there is another way of helping and a lot of work going on in ohio, in denmark, which is moving away from the security threat to looking after, helping. young muslims have nowhere to go. would families welcome government interference? you are essentially saying they will knock on the front door and nobody wa nts knock on the front door and nobody wants that. sometimes you do, sometimes you do want the knock from the good social worker and caring a gp but it has to be away from the state is watching us and the state thinks all of us are terrorists. that has been the problem. are you happy to move on? well, i think that these are very serious issues that countries are grappling with and what we do not cover on a daily basis but we will have inherited
11:41 pm
people who are returnees from syria... that is different... that is different but radicalisation is pa rt of is different but radicalisation is part of all of that and i think resources and when you think how many attacks have been avoided, foiled, serious bomb threats and attacks, the intelligence services are doing a very toughjob. i do not get it right every single time but they do need help from the population... mothers and fathers are worried. what has also been highlighted as you can stop the attack and then you have to the radicalised. i don't think we're good at it. i think there are other countries doing it better.l good at it. i think there are other countries doing it better. a school crisis. a report revealed some shocking statistics and stories. in
11:42 pm
a way we should not be shocked because schools have been talking about it and head teachers have been saying this for years. i go to schools and there is water dripping down and the toilets are not working and there is no money for any of the basics but this is now... ofsted report, it has credibility, and they have said and it is extraordinary that although the government has pledged a three—year funding package for schools, the institute for fiscal studies has said that by 2022- 2023, the fiscal studies has said that by 2022— 2023, the real term changes, the funding levels will be the same as they were in 2009 so there have been 13 years of deterioration and it is just shocking that we allow this to happen to our next generation. 70 hour weeks for staff,
11:43 pm
which is really huge stress. cutbacks in teaching assistants and yet class sizes are increasing. although some say the school will be in debt by summer. council run schools over half are in the red. that seems really shocking but what is in the spirit of balance, the department for education is trying to look at this research say this report is based on a small and unrepresentative sample of school. come with me, i will take you to schools in one area. the difference between going to a private school and a child going to a state school and a child going to a state school and most teachers are brilliant at what they are doing... and the growing with the profession is that a growing numberof growing with the profession is that a growing number of teachers are leaving the profession. problem with retention. the front page of the
11:44 pm
daily mail, who wants to kick us off? this is a very big attack, a savage attack by david dimbleby, the veteran broadcaster... a man of the establishment. you could say that, i could not. certainly very respected asa could not. certainly very respected as a broadcaster and journalist and he is accusing the prime minister borisjohnson of lying in he is accusing the prime minister boris johnson of lying in a pernicious attempt to curb the bbc licence fee. he says that actually the prime minister is trying to undermine the cooperation and he adds that the prime minister is avoiding having his policies in this way scrutinise. he says the prime minister does not give a damn, to quote him, about fairness, because of the landslide majority got in december, that the prime minister quote, is arrogant with power, that
11:45 pm
his conflict with the bbc is a childish, peevish and unpleasant and if that was not enough, he saying that what borisjohnson is doing is, quite, aping donald trump by using the same political rulebook to try to control the media. well done mr david dimbleby exclamation mark people who complain to the bbc really need to get an education. people who complain to the bbc really need to get an educationm would take about two minutes, google and even if you want to, you cannot compare netflix to all the many things that the bbc does. pbs in america. you see what happens when the funds are squeezed and squeezed. we can criticise a lot about the bbc but this is a concerted project and i think but this is a concerted project and ithinki but this is a concerted project and i think i am really pleased david dimbleby is speaking out. the bbc across the world is held out as an
11:46 pm
example as the top of broadcasting and to see these kinds of attacks, particularly on social media, a few in the media and written press and spoken press, but a lot on social media andl spoken press, but a lot on social media and i think people need to win their tongues and they do not realise actually the jam that they have. ——jam. realise actually the jam that they have. —— jam. iwatch bbc, full disclosure, and i learnt a lot and i bring that to my current custody job. i choose not to express my way in the way david dimbleby though. perry and megan and it is all about branding they are going. they know that images sell papers. the paper
11:47 pm
is deeply exploitative. i am so happy for them that they have left this terrible institution and found they live and hope they are really happy forever. do you think not having that brand will affect them? well, i will agree to disagree with you on that one. yes, obviously. and i get why the queen would not want the word royal in that sense. they will not be front—line royals. that is actually their wish, not to be frontline royals. i don't think you can be half pregnant —— half regnal. they are trying to create something new so they are trying to create something new so hopefully they will not have a problem with not having the word royal. they have become what a lot of people tried to make the british royal family into, celebrities. and if that is a road they want to explore because they think, you are talking about well— being, because they will be happier in that way... they will! well, good luck to them. but what we have already begun seeing is the reality, we have already seen some attacks in the
11:48 pm
american media about the fact that theyjust got paid, allegedly, a big sample flying down to florida and making speeches about trauma. sol think unfortunately they are going to continue... and i play devil 's advocate really quickly, are you not just royal by birth, the end? yes, and it is a mean thing to do. well, harry is. exactly the same thing was not to princess diana, when they took away her title, right? and i thought that was so mean and so utterly cruel. and now they are doing it to harry and meghan. and i'm sorry, i hope they are going to be very, very happy, it does not show the royal family, be very, very happy, it does not show the royalfamily, nor our monarchs, in a good light. well, it has been a very difficult episode that has been covered notjust nationally but internationally, which will not surprise you, because of course there has been, and it is far from finished, the whole prince andrew scandal. yes, let's talk about that. take his title! no, let's not! let's not, simply because we won't get through the rest of the
11:49 pm
papers. and we want to talk about hmrc. another rich family. so, yes, what is the financial times that weekend saying about hmrc? this is one of the schemes, one of the wheezes that wealthy people and upper middle class people upwards are advised by plato —— clever accountants to do. they set up these trusts, they are set up, what is it called? family investment companies. it is one way of avoiding paying as much tax as they can well afford but wish not to pay. i am pleased that finally hmrc is cracking down on some of these... finally hmrc is cracking down on some of these. .. well, not yet. but by saying that they are illegal? no. but it is tax evasion, then there is tax fraud, they are not the same thing. but they have not been pursued. they are not cracking down yet, they are thinking about it. they have a secretive unit,
11:50 pm
apparently, about the... well, that is the beginning. it is to create transparency. to create more equality. do you think this will go? yes, i do. i do. alas, alas, alas... i think there is now in the country, people feel it is wrong. 0k. the telegraph, this is ourfirst look people feel it is wrong. 0k. the telegraph, this is our first look at the front of the telegraph, it is mi6 recruiting teenagers to give it an edge in the tech race. yes, because they want to challenge the perception that they only recruit oxbridge graduates. so they are lowering the age of 21, if you are 18, you might want to consider mi6 asa 18, you might want to consider mi6 as a career prospect. they want young people who have only ever grown up young people who have only ever grown up with technology and who think out of the box. well, good luck to them. they aren't very good at keeping secrets, 18 —year—olds.|j wouldn't generalise about that! they
11:51 pm
are not accommodated different life from the rest of us. and part of launching this, actually, mi6 did visit an area that would be considered deprived, certainly no private schools. but your average teenager... i think it is not a bad idea but you have to be very careful. but of course that double agents! tribulations! you are not allowed tojust agents! tribulations! you are not allowed to just indiscriminately... you know, to go around killing people, i think there is this whole mess about mi6. people, i think there is this whole mess about m16. that is true. basically there is a big department had lots of them and lots ofjobs, is what they are saying, and it is for everyone, not just be is what they are saying, and it is for everyone, notjust be elite. and if you are 18, have a crack. and don't put it on what's up. yasmin has spoken, and so have we. 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.

controversial vaporfly shoe has smashed the women's world record for the half marathon. ethiopia's ababel yeshaneh took 20 seconds off the previous record at a race in the united arab emirates. and before we go, perhaps it was a case of "if you don't laugh you'll cry," but the tottenham managerjose mourinho got a fit of the giggles when asked about injuries to his players. at the moment, his star strikers harry kane and son heung—min look like they may be out for the rest of the season. also, one of his midfielders, dele ali, was seen throwing his water bottle in anger when he was substituted during spurs champions league match against leipzig. but instead of being concerned, mourinho burst out laughing. harry, it was good to see him on wednesday, handing the award to jimmy's family. he looked quite mobile. is that encouraging? laughter. how is dele alli? because
11:56 pm

11:57 pm
treacherous conditions and the high rates with these snow showers blowing in icy and slushy deposits and also a risk of blizzards because of the strength of the wind. very cold in the north but much milder in the south, 10— 13 degrees. through saturday night, it stays windy. the showers of snow across the north. a risk of ice. a well—defined moving across central and southern parts of britain to bring some persistent rain, so maybe happy across western areas. it will be a mild night in the south. cold in the north. this waterfront continues to move through during the early hours of sunday but i think through sunday it is an improving picture after a bit of a grey, wet morning. we should start to see a slow improvement with the rain becoming confined to the southern counties of england in towards the channel. sunshine appearing through the day, quite a bit of it across the north and further showers here, snow on the hills. another cold day in the north. mild across southern counties of england. then we look to the
