we will be taking a look at the papers with our reviewersjoe phillips and nigel nelson and that is coming up after the headlines. time for a look at the weather forecast now with chris. the emmas over the uk is similarto with chris. the emmas over the uk is similar to the ms that we had last week which is a funny thing to say if you think about all that hot sunny weather we had last week. —— the emmas over the uk is similar to the emmas over the uk is similar to the emmas. that humidity has brought a lot of low cloud and drizzle. across the north—west when we see sunshine, it became quite warm, 25 degrees in keswick in cumbria for example. as we headed into the late afternoon, evening time, we had some thunderstorms in parts of eastern england, near chelmsford in essex, 40 england, near chelmsford in essex, a0 millimetres of rain injust one hour, bring that intent more than capable of bringing flash flooding.

-- rain capable of bringing flash flooding. —— rain that intense. summer mist and fog patches over hills, drizzle around and still one or two heavy bursts of rain, it will continue to feel humid, temperatures 17 degrees gci’oss feel humid, temperatures 17 degrees across the south of england and wales and for sunday, still a lot of cloud across the country, but we will also see heavy downpours are moving in from the south. there is a downpours will get into south—west england quite quickly during sunday morning, but i expect we will see another comp of storms working into the south—east as we head into the early pa rt the south—east as we head into the early part of the afternoon before spreading into east anglia, the midlands and eventually parts of wales as we head into sunday evening. the downpours again are capable of bringing some localised flooding, the best of any limited sunshine are probably across the north—west of the uk, but it will also be a bit brighter at times across southern parts of england and the south of wales. monday sees an area of low pressure moving from the south, expected to continue to be rather cloudy, occasional bright spells, but heavy downpours will tend to move northwards across england and wales and move into scotla nd england and wales and move into scotland and northern ireland, so it

has been dry here over recent days and looks like we will see some arena putting on it for the start of the new week. where the sunshine comes out, it will continue to feel humid, temperatures into the low to mid 20s in the warmest spots. certainly later in the week, that's low pressure certainly later in the week, that's low pressure moves away, certainly later in the week, that's low pressure moves away, another low pressure comes in from the atlantic but this one will bring a change of ourair mass so but this one will bring a change of our air mass so it was not feeling humid and add to less humid air which will arrive probably for most of us on thursday but looking at the week ahead, it does look and settled, cloudy skies, rain at times and eventually turning fresher towards the end of the week. that is your weather.

hello, this is bbc news, will be taking a look at tomorrow's papers ina taking a look at tomorrow's papers in a moment but first, the headlines. prince charles has led commemorations to celebrate the 75th anniversary of vj day, the day we ended the war with japan. you are cherished with all our hearts and for all time. the exams regulator has set out the

criteria for appeals against downgraded a—levels in england after a0% were much lower than predictions. thousands of holiday—makers have arrived back in the uk after a last—minute dash to avoid a mandatory two week quarantine. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with us political editor nigel nelson and political commentatorjo phillips. lovely to have you both here, thank you for joining us tonight. tomorrow's front pages, let's make a start with the 0bserver. nearly 5 million gcses this week will be awarded, using a model that education experts fear could lead to even more results

being downgraded than last week's a—level controversy. the sunday express has the education executory gavin williamson vowing to get children back to school next month because he says the risks of not returning are too high to ignore. the sunday mirror reports that some mps are calling for the education secretary to quit in the wake of the a—level results issues. according to the sunday telegraph, public health england is to be scrapped and replaced by a new body early next week, specifically designed to protect the country against a pandemic. the daily mail says priti patel is embroiled in a row to say that... the sunday people predicts the country won't recover from the current recession till 2023. let's make a start with the sunday telegraph, hancock faces, alex's

failing public health body. what is it going to be replaced with, public health england? well, it is going to be replaced with something that is a p pa re ntly be replaced with something that is apparently going to be much more geared to finding a pandemic. public health england is a huge body that employs many, many people. it has come in for a lot of criticism over the years. it was set up byjeremy huntand it the years. it was set up byjeremy hunt and it sort of followed on from his predecessor andrew la nsley hunt and it sort of followed on from his predecessor andrew lansley to try and bring so many things together. but in fact it has been criticised for stating the obvious in so many cases and spending an absolute fortune in public money in telling us that when it gets cold, you might need to wear a hat, or not being targeted in its approach to common sense health advice. and it is quite clear that this is part of the blame game that is going around

whitehall on who is to blame for our appalling response to coronavirus. but it is also about how we can best be prepared for the next thing. here we are in the middle of august and they are talking about scrapping this, you know, huge, great organisation and replacing it by september, which is hard to believe. what is slightly more concerning, according to this story in the telegraph, is that baroness harding, she who is in charge of the track and trace scheme is rumoured to be tipped to take over the new body, which doesn't really bode well because she hasn't done well on track and trace. but they're looking to do something modelled on the german style, which brings together more science. the other issue that i think will concern peoples, certainly a local government, is the government want to put the emphasis back to local government on health prevention and health messages, smoking, obesity, cold weather, hot

weather, etc, etc. well, local government is already responsible for quite a lot of local health decisions and of course we know their budgets have been scrapped so i think their budgets have been scrapped so ithinka their budgets have been scrapped so i think a lot of people will be reading this story tomorrow morning, wondering exactly how it is going to work. nigel, i wonder wondering exactly how it is going to work. nigel, iwonder how wondering exactly how it is going to work. nigel, i wonder how fair it is to criticise public health england in this way, given that they have had a lot of other responsibilities and a pandemic has caught a lot of countries out, hasn't it? notjust england. yes, that part is true, but i think what you are seeing now is ministers keeping one eye on the public enquiry that is inevitable, after all this is over, and sojoe is absolutely right, part of this is to do with a blame game, and there are indications that public health england might cop quite a lot of it, once the enquiry gets going. i'm sure they will build this new body,

as world beating or whatever, and it may make organisational sense to work in test and trace with bha's existing responsibilities, but it finally comes down to getting test and trace right, and we still haven't done that and schools are about to go back in a week's time. you mention they want to bring more science to bear on how this new body works but ultimately it is politicians who make the decisions? well, yes, and we have heard that in the beginning, the politicians told us they were guided by the science, until it suited them to ignore the size i say, well, to hail with it, let's get everybody back in the pub, and never mind the kids going back to school. so, i think it is another muddle, and it looks as if it has been invented overnight. i thought it said hancock faces the axe, when i first saw the headline, and it said hancock faces the axe, when ifirst saw the headline, and i thought that wasn't surprising. but

how are you going to bring these things together, unless you have a very clear focus on what it is you are trying to deliver? and as nigel says, without test and trace and tracking, we are no nearer to being able to deal with a second wave of coronavirus or indeed another pandemic. and it is difficult to see just by shovelling the seats on the titanic or, you know, putting the same person in charge of test and trace in charge of this new health body, if you put scientists in charge of it, people might have more faith in it. and if you were using data and research to really target your messages to the people who are most at risk, which we now know, in terms of coronavirus, but, you know, there are other health issues, obesity being one of them. but there are an awful lot of people still waiting for cancer screening, heart and stroke treatments and things

like that, so there is a huge issue facing the health service. the last thing they need to be doing is, you know, reorganising something without a very clear idea of what it is for. let's move on, nigel, to the sunday people, the headline, viruses three yearslump, people, the headline, viruses three year slump, that country won't recover from the recession until 2023. where is the evidence from that statement? the evidence comes from a german economist based here in london with a german bank. what he is saying makes an awful lot of sense. he says there are two things that have happened, the mistakes of a lockdown, in other words, looking down too late, and while we are in the midst of the corona crisis, we kind of forget, we have another economic cliff edge coming out by the end of the year and that is brexit. so, what he says is those two things have been a major

mistake, the way they have been handled, it means that boris johnson's v shaped or st swift v shaped recovery is now turning into a rather slow l—shaped one. and his prediction is that this could go on until 2023. and as i say, what is actually, what he is saying makes absolute sense, we have these two economic catastrophes happening at the same time, one being the pandemic, and looking down too late, the second one, brexit coming up in december the 31st. i think for many readers, nigel, the picture of rita 0ra on the front page will take their mind off what is happening to their mind off what is happening to the economy, which may be a welcome distraction for some. we were told had the recovery been a bit sooner than expected, the figures seemed to bea than expected, the figures seemed to be a little more encouraging about the state of the economy? well, yes,

in that people have been going out, they have been taken advantage of they have been taken advantage of the government's it out campaign which is obviously completely parallel with the government's anti—obesity campaign. and, yes, people have gone back, they have been spending money in the hospitality sector, they have been spending money on state occasions and tourist places around the uk, but when you look at the scale of losses, you know, from theatres and the sort of whole arts and creative industries, through to manufacturing, through to hospitality, and we are heading into the winter, the autumn and winter, and never mind the high street which was already suffering before this. we've seen our economy contracted by about 20% in the last two quarters, which is considerably greater than other european countries. and as

nigel says, this isn'tjust coronavirus, and the gulf that is coming between unemployment going through the ceiling and the economy going through the floor. it is about brexit. come the end of the year, then where do we sit? and there is so much uncertainty for people who are, you know, looking for trade and doing trade with european countries. it is very difficult to see anything other than a quite gloomy outlook for the economy. how likely do you think it is we will get a deal before the end of the year, with regard to brexit, nigel? because the mood music coming out of the talks has been quite pessimistic, saying they are —— there are obstacles in they are —— there are obstacles in the way and there are disagreements between the eu 27 in britain. yes, and asa between the eu 27 in britain. yes, and as a result of that, a deal is looking less and less likely. i mean, we were really promised that if there was going to be a deal, we should have actually seen the

outlines of it injune. now, i appreciate that david has got in the way of that but there is not very much time to go so we already left the european union on december 31 we end the transition period, and at the moment it looks like we are going to fall off a cliff edge when we do. and unless there is some really rapid negotiation, and quite a bit of compromise probably both sides, there is going to be a deal and we are going to face that economic crisis on top of the one we have already got. there is an opportunity for the prime minister to say, ok, i'm not going back on my promise that we would go for an extension to the transition period, but he could actually use the next year and but he could actually use the next yearand in but he could actually use the next year and in effect get a years grace to work out some of the sort of nuts and bolts of the arrangement, to prevent as having a cliff edge, but

i don't think he wants a deal at all, i think he wants a cliff edge and then he can say he's done it. well, we could unpick that all night, couldn't we? we could. let's not, though. let's not. if you don't mind. let's go to the observer, controversial algorithm to set 19 7% of gcse results. this will affect millions of exam results, potentially, and it sounds like heading for another week about the role that we had last week with the a—level results in england, wales and northern ireland. yes, absolutely. this time, to 700,000 youngsters who are going to be affected. i doubt they will ever vote tory again after this. but at the moment, gavin williamson is saying there is no way she is going to change track, he is going to continue with the same kind of standardisation system, and itjust strikes me that this is ridiculous. how cana strikes me that this is ridiculous. how can a computer mark on exam that

children weren't even allowed to take? it seems that the education secretary basically got the premise is wrong, he introduced the system to try and make it fair for the class of 2019, and the class of 2021, but of course that doesn't ta ke 2021, but of course that doesn't take into account that covid has been very unfairto take into account that covid has been very unfair to the class of 2020. and the only way out of this debacle is to do the same thing that nicola sturgeon did in scotland, and say, look, we will scrap the idea of getting computers involved and we will take teacher judgments, otherwise next week will be other catastrophe and a heartbreaking one, too. there is the suggestion here that some students might take the government to court. when the lockdown started at the end of march, and schools were told you needed to close straightaway but they wouldn't be exams, everyone was told, one day, don't worry, we will

not let this affect the rest of your lives. we have heard many times this week, 18, 19—year—old saying that is exactly what is going to happen to them because they have missed their chance of going to university to do that because they wanted to do. absolutely. and according to the observer, there is a lawyers letter that has been drawn up on behalf of some a—level students who had their grades marked down. i mean, it is utterly ludicrous, and you would have thought that actually, you know, a year six maths people could have worked it out. if you just put something into an algorithm, you ta ke something into an algorithm, you take no consideration of the teachers, the teachers know these kids, they have been with them all the way through, they have worked with them, they know their strengths and weaknesses, you know, to put insert to something just a bunch of figures and you've got a very high performing school and you give them better figures, better performing school and you give them betterfigures, better grades performing school and you give them better figures, better grades than a low performing school, takes no

consideration at all. i mean, this has been an absolute disaster. it has been an absolute disaster. it has broken the hearts of many, many people, young people who have worked their socks off. they didn't get the chance to take their exams, but as you say, they were promised it would make any difference, and they would still be able to go to university or to follow their careers. with gcses, you've got a younger cohort of children, you've got a bigger cohort, and you've also got its much harder to predict the grades in a way, because they aren't specialising, they are much more generalised, and there are more of them doing the compulsory subjects as well as their chosen subjects. so, if we get this, what is the incentive to any child to stay on at school, if indeed there gcse results from mr williamson is algorithm machine and allow them to stay on at school? you are absolutely killing

the hopes of anyone going to university. at the age of 16. and i cannot see how they can get out of this, andi cannot see how they can get out of this, and i have had five months to think about it. it does feel like we are heading for a repeat of something that has not gone well this week. nigel, priti patel in a racist french storm. the home secretary enraging paris by suggesting that migrants are coming to britain because they have got to escape prejudice and worse in france. hardly the way to actually win friends and influence people. what priti patel is saying is that what she was doing there was a zoom crawl with tory mps, what she was doing was quoting what migrants say about france. either way, doing was quoting what migrants say about france. eitherway, it doing was quoting what migrants say about france. either way, it was probably an ill—advised comment to make. when you look at the french record, there is racism in france, just as there is in britain, but 9% of the french population are immigrants. that's 6.5 million

people. so it is hardly as if they turn all migrants away. so, inflammatory words like this from priti patel aren't going to help when at the moment what we really need, especially again, sorry to mention it, brexit happening by the end of year, what we really need is cooperation between the british and the french, to find a humane way of stopping these people crossing the channel. well, the navy has been touted as a way around it. inside the mail on sunday, joe, the european court of human rights has been very critical of how refugees have been treated at times. in fact, they have had to, the government has had to pay out compensation to three men who brought the case. well, and there is some fantastic irony in that the mail on sunday, of all

newspapers, which is so anti—european, is using the fact that the european court of human rights, which it hates most of the time, has criticised france, and as you say, the government, the french government has had to pay £32,000 to three men, three migrants who were basically left to defend —— fend for themselves on the streets for several months. and, their argument was, and this was upheld by the judges, that the french government had failed in its duty to protect their human rights by giving them any sort of safety and shelter. so, you know, yes, the french have been found wanting, but i think we too are found wanting, and as nigel said, there is racism in every country, sadly. buti said, there is racism in every country, sadly. but i don't think priti patel, as home secretary, is covering herself in glory by trying to end up having an argument with the french and blaming them. and as for the idea of sending the navy,

you know, to deal with this, there is this little thing called international waters that seems to have skipped her mind for the time being, you know, you start going into other people's water space, into other people's water space, into their marine space, you are basically declaring war. yes, that is what the mayor of calais said. something similar to that early in the week. there finish with a sunday express , the week. there finish with a sunday express, and a photograph, nigel, of prince charles laying a wreath at the national memorial arboretum in staffordshi re the national memorial arboretum in staffordshire for the 75th anniversary of vj day. yeah, i find all of this really rather heart—warming today, that at the moment, we are in a world war against coronavirus, and i did feel great that we could actually spend some time remembering the end of another world war. and one of the things about the japanese theatre of

war, was that the troops in the armed forces who went out there, always felt they were the forgotten army, and events like today actually prove that they haven't been forgotten, and so, you know, it was great that the nation stopped for two minutes, great to see the battle of britain memorial flight over, the whole ceremony brought home to us that in the midst of all that is going on, we can actually spare some time to remember things like this and the sacrifices other people made. joe, ve day has always eclipsed vj day but they tried to put that right today? yes, they have come and i think the organisers of today's events absolutely deserve hats off, particularly camilla's rather and fluffy version for organising it because it is jolly difficult to do anything like this

at the best of times, but in the midst of social distancing and with so many elderly people as well, i think they should really be proud of themselves, and it is very important that we remember these dates because the people who are dead today are not going to be around forever, and we are than that. —— because the people who are there today are not going to be around forever. it is important that vj day, because that was the end of the war. thank you very much, we will be back at 11:30pm for another look at the papers, but by far, the weather is coming up. hello, there. we still got a lot of humid air across the uk, the same air mass that brought us the sunny weather last week but now there is

extensive low cloud but because of the humidity, there is also a mist, fog, and also bits of drizzle that iran as well. extensive cloud is here but that is continuing to work north—west woods. 0n here but that is continuing to work north—west woods. on saturday, we saw some heavy thunderstorms, worked into parts of essex and in writtle, they brought a0 millimetres of rain in an hour, and through the 2a hours, we had 57 more metres, and thatis hours, we had 57 more metres, and that is over a month's worth of rain falling. that brought flooding around the writtle area, including around the writtle area, including around the writtle area, including around the chelmsford area as well. it is marching northwards, the cloud, murky around the coast and hails with misty fog patches, extensive drizzle, heavier birth mixed in as well occasionally, and humid air. temperature is 18 degrees in the south on sunday morning. i think we will properly start to see those guys brighten up across

southern parts of england and wales the best of any sunshine will always bea the best of any sunshine will always be a trust for scotland. we will see thunderstorms in south—west england,. thunderstorms in south—west england, . thunderstorms capable thunderstorms in south—west england,. thunderstorms capable of bringing torrential downpours so we could see further localised flooding can be deadly sunday afternoon. monday, an area of low pressure d rifts monday, an area of low pressure drifts northwards and we look at heavy, thundery downpours at times. the rain is a need to move further northwards so after a right few days in northern england, northern ireland and scotland, there will be a greater chance of seeing rain here. it will feel she meant that the downpours will be heavy so there is an ongoing threat of localised flooding. humid airwith is an ongoing threat of localised flooding. humid air with us at the moment but it looks likely by thursday we will start to get cooler fresher air following in across the uk behind a cold front but it will stay pretty clearly the week ahead

and there will be further bursts of rain at times. later in the week, it will turn prior and fresh as well. that is your latest weather, goodbye for now.
