part of the decision, who knows. i can't claim to know what departing japanese prime minister means for international affairs. but when it comes to the uk, we are trying to, we call it seining a trade it with japan which in reality it isjust trying to avoid the loss of the trade you that we already have three eu membership. that is in trouble as all our respective trade deals are. whether a new prime ministers will have any impact on that we will have to see. asa what you make it that? also internationally, we know that the us has been glad to have some sort of consistency injapan after a revolving door type of system. so what effect with the seven internationally notjust what effect with the seven internationally not just for the what effect with the seven internationally notjust for the uk but with the us as well? one of the biggest gifts that shinzo abe gave japan was stability, longevity, and that he think is now the longest—serving prime minister in modern times for them and very much

so. modern times for them and very much so. and internationally, this means that the ongoing negotiations between the uk and japan it seems from what we understand that it is actually due to the work of those international trade sector and the japanese say that they're aiming to go even further than what the eu have in place injapan namely with perhaps the uk having an extra little addition for uk cheesemakers which as everyone knows from the one he 14 speech... it's a big prize in the uk must make sure it is better than what it had as part of the eu with japan. ican i can see rob itching but we do need to move on to the next paper which is changing tack quite a bit and talking about the royal brothers prince harry and prince william.

they are reuniting to dedicate a statute to the life of their mum princess diana. rob talk to us about this story. joy have to? cannotjust words? what would those words be smacked i don't care! i don't care in the slightest! six words. i try to avoid reading about the whale family as much as possible. i gather william and harry don't get onto well any more, that is about as much asi well any more, that is about as much as i know care. when it comes to a ce ntre as i know care. when it comes to a centre of their mother, there aren't enough sketches of women in this country, it is an absolute scandal. i sure there are many many deserving women ahead of diana in the queue. i think there is a cry from a real insider that perhaps if this statue goes ahead and william and harry are working together on it, it can heal their wounds. i feel like we have more important things to worry about at the moment. asa due care bit more about this than rob?” at the moment. asa due care bit more about this than rob? i managed care bit more but i do think rob speaks

for consistency of people who are just bored sick of the royal soap opera. if it means that harry and william after all the rift, and trauma they have had over megan joining the royal family trauma they have had over megan joining the royalfamily and trauma they have had over megan joining the royal family and then leaving the royal family, joining the royal family and then leaving the royalfamily, and joining the royal family and then leaving the royal family, and then telling reviewers that they want different paths and all that, if this patches things up and so much the better. yes of course a lot of people unlike rob would be interested in this news and the royal family interested in this news and the royalfamily does interested in this news and the royal family does mean a lot to themselves. let's finish it off with a brief look at this story in the new york times about the british museum, one of the last major museums to reopen but it is reopening to a changed world, isn't it rob? this is an interesting story, i was not aware of any of these details until what i read just i'iow. these details until what i read just now. i gathered the british museum is the last of the major european museums to reopen, so is the last of the major european museums to reopen, so we is the last of the major european museums to reopen, so we waited a long time and it is really interesting they are having to decide to reflect the black lives

matter protests that are taking place and some of the fresh focus on their possible links to slavery and colonialism and that involves pointing out as you go around that items perhaps that people would suspect have been acquired by dubious means were in fact donated and weren't stolen. maybe not a great place for a museum to have to point out that their items weren't stolen but i think it's very interesting doing that and offers a new take on a visit. any quick thoughts on this, asa?|j new take on a visit. any quick thoughts on this, asa? i am worried it will make the grease kick—off about the marbles more. that was a quick and insisting answer. we will be coming back to both of you a little bit. thank you so much for that's it for the papers. if you're in the uk, asa and rob will be back in just

over half an hour to look at more of the stories being covered by newspapers and websites here. next it's the sports bulletin. hello, i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes with a round—up of the day's sports news. harry maguire has said how pleased he is that he has been able to share his version of events on the incident in greece which resulted in him being convicted of violence and attempted bribery of the police. the england defender is now awaiting a retrial and has the support of his club manchester united. in an exclusive interview with the bbc, maguire told our sports editor dan roan that he feared for his life. united has said maguire is likely to remain

as their captain this season. it is such a huge honour to be the captain of manchester united. it's something i'm really proud of. it's a massive privilege to play for the club never mind to be the captain. one thing i will say is how support of the club have been from top to bottom, and they've been great with me and obviously, it's been such a difficult time. —— how supportive the been. my main focus is obviously family and putting the next best thing to my family is football. so, playing for manchester united like i said is something i love. chelsea's manager frank lampard is continuing to restructure his side's defence signing brazil centre—back thiago silva on a free transfer on a one—year deal after leaving paris saint—germain. the 35—year—old will link up with england left back ben chilwell who signed from leicester on wednesday. meanwhile, roy hodgson has made his most expensive signing at crystal palace paying nearly £20 million for the young qpr

striker eberechi eze. the england under 21 international should boost palace's attacking options. only relegated norwich scored fewer goals last season. now, liverpool may be the premier league and the eorld club champions but manager jurgen klopp says even they can't afford to sign lionel messi. —— and the world club champions. the six—time ballon d'or winner sensationally asked to leave barcelona earlier this week. butjurgen klopp says even on a free transfer, they couldn't afford messi's salary. who doesn't want to have messi on his team? but, yeah, no chance on him. the numbers are absolutely not for us. but we don't even have to start thinking about it, it's all clear. no chance. but, good player, to be honest! max verstappen was quickest and second practice ahead of sunday's belgian grand prix. the red bull driver edged out daniel ricardo and world champion lewis hamilton with the top three separated

by the finest of margins, less than 100th of a second. hamilton's mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas was fastest in the first session. meanwhile, hamilton says he's united behind the racial inequality protests in the us. a number of matches across a range of sports have been postponed in recent days following the shooting ofjacob blake in wisconsin. so many people are standing with the players and really pushing for change. it's a shame that that's what's needed over there in order to get a reaction. but that is in america and i don't know if really need doing anything here will particularly have any effect. -- if —— if really need doing anything here. we are in belgium, were not in the united states, and so i haven't spoken to anybody about it but i am really proud of so many out there and i do stand unified with them trying to do what i can over here. i don't really know how.

of so many out there and i do stand unified with them trying to do what i can over here. i don't really know how. if not doing the race as to not doing the race, it's deal will go on is the theme. one of the events impacted by the protests was the warm—up event for next week's us open, the western and southern open in new york. play was suspended on thursday which meant the semi—finals were plated today with naomi osaka beating elise mertens. osaka will now face victoria azarenka in the final. she knocked off british number one johanna konta. konta won the opening set but the former austrian open champion turned things around to set up a meeting with osaka. we're staying with those protests in the us and the nba has announced that the playoffs will resume

on saturday after the postponement over the past three days due to player boycotts. matches will not get back under way following what the nba described as "candid, impassioned, and productive conversations" with players and coaches over the next steps and actions in support of racial equality. golf now and the european tour has announced three new tournaments as part of its rescheduled season including one at st andrew's. the old course will host the scottish championship in mid—october while back—to—back tournaments will be held in cyprus, the first european tour events to be held in the country. cricket now and england batsman ollie pope will be out for four months due to shoulder surgery. pope dislocated it on day four of the final test against pakistan whilst trying to save a boundary. the operation will be in the next couple of weeks with england hopeful he'll be fit for the winter tour of sri lanka and india next year. and for all the action from the first t20 international between england and pakistan, had to the bbc sport website but for me and the team here, that's it for us. goodnight. good evening. it's been a day of drenching downpours and dramatic skies. across many parts of the british isles. we have seen hefty downpours and thunderstorms and in one or two places, some funnel

clouds and waterspouts. this one spotted by a weather watcher off the coast of kent. this one close to southwold in suffolk. but through the weekend, things will slowly calm down. the weekend getting off to an unusually windy start for this time of the year. it will be cool by day and unusually chilly by night. it should be largely dry. still pretty heavy rain for a time across eastern parts of england through the night. the rain will continue on right through the early hours but further west we will see dry weather, clear skies, and temperatures will dip away. they won't fall too far because it is still pretty windy out there. but temperatures getting down to seven, 8, 9 degrees. not as cold further east. we continue to feed some wet weather into eastern counties during saturday. high—pressure building in from the west which will slowly settle things down. saturday morning, very windy conditions, gusts of 50 mph or more for some north sea coast.

and those outbreaks of rain are about across parts of eastern england. one or two very isolated showers elsewhere but generally speaking, it is quieter, calmer, with spells a sunshine but cool, 13 to 19 degrees, factor in the strength of the wind, it will feel chilly. some of the rain will affect east anglia right into saturday evening. but further west with the skies clearing and the wind starting to ease, it is going to be very chilly indeed. temperatures through the early hours of sunday down to two, three or 4 degrees. a cold start to sunday morning. but this rain should clear away from eastern areas. it will still be quite breezy here, not as windy as it will be on saturday. a mixture of sunny spells and patchy cloud, temperature still very much on the low side for the time of year but would like winds shouldn't feel quite as cool. for monday which is a bank holiday for many, scotland,

england and wales stays largely dry with any spells and we will see thicker cloud rug at some outbreaks of rain into northern ireland later in temperatures ofjust 16 to 18 degrees.
