10:30 pm
this is monday. increasingly hazy. this is monday. you can see the rain spreading from scotla nd you can see the rain spreading from scotland and northern ireland into the north of england, across wales, but after a sunny start elsewhere in england it will tend to cloud over with the best of any sunshine through the afternoon hanging on through the afternoon hanging on through east anglia and south—east england where it will be relatively warm. brighter skies eventually later in the day edging into the far north—west. tuesday, we have another weather for crossing the uk, bringing a broad warm sector. this warm airwill be bringing a broad warm sector. this warm air will be pushing across the country so it will start to feel a bit more humid. it's also likely going to be quite cloudy, particularly across western areas with the cloud thick enough for some patches of drizzle around some of oui’ patches of drizzle around some of our coasts and hills, particularly through the morning. rain at times through the morning. rain at times through the morning. rain at times through the north—west but where we see cloud break and sunshine coming through it will feel on the warm side and for many others those temperatures will lift into the low 20s on tuesday. tuesday promises to be the warmest day of the week. the
10:31 pm
warmerair be the warmest day of the week. the warmer air will be shoved southwards as the cold front moves in and this boundary is the cold front. it's going to be bringing cloud across england and wales with outbreaks of rain. the rain not amounting to too much across south—east england, it isa much across south—east england, it is a weak front, but eventually we will get fresh air blowing into the northern half of the uk. sunshine, a few showers in the north—west, temperatures mid to high teens, so feeling pleasant. across the south—east before the front arrives we'll see temperatures in the low 20s for wednesday afternoon. that's the latest weather.
10:32 pm
10:33 pm
hello. this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment with tony grew and caroline frost. first, the headlines. police hunting for the man who went on a two—hour stabbing rampage in birmingham last night, release cctv footage of a man they want to speak to. the uk records its highest daily number of new coronavirus cases since late may — with almost 3,000 more positive tests. the health secretary says the situation is worrying. the rise in the number of cases that we've seen today is concerning. the cases are predominantly among younger people. more than 100 people are detained in belarus during the latest protests against the disputed re—election of president lukashenko.
10:34 pm
the foreign secretary, dominic raab, says this week is "the moment of reckoning", as the uk tries to strike a trade deal with the european union. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. joining me are parliamentary journalist, tony grew, and journalist and broadcaster, caroline frost. lovely to see you both and we will chat in a moment. first a quick look through some of those front pages. the express says borisjohnson will warn the eu that a no—deal brexit would be a good outcome for the uk. the times adds that the prime minister has set a five—week deadline to reach a post—brexit agreement with the eu. the financial times adds that trade
10:35 pm
talks with brussels risk collapsing as the uk plans new legislation that will override key parts of the brexit withdrawal agreement. and the telegraph also leads on brexit — writing that borisjohnson will give the eu 38 days to strike a deal, warning that if there is no breakthrough by 0ctober15, britain will accept no deal and move on. the mail says that air passengers could be tested for the coronavirus eight days after arrival in britain under plans to revive the aviation industry. the metro leads on the birmingham stabbings, with a cctv image released by police tonight of a man they ‘urgently‘ want to speak to. the guardian adds that the suspect is still at large. the mirror writes that footballer marcus rashford dismissed tory mp kevin hollinrake as heartless and clueless, after he appeared to attack his campaign
10:36 pm
to feed hungry children. let's start our chat. great to see you both. caroline, could you kick us you both. caroline, could you kick us off with the front page of the financial times and its back on the front pages, brexit. well, it's definitely been silent for many months as we have been fighting the coronavirus but clearly boris johnson is stating that he means business. this is in his sights, 38 days, and i feel business. this is in his sights, 38 days, and ifeel it business. this is in his sights, 38 days, and i feel it has business. this is in his sights, 38 days, and ifeel it has been business. this is in his sights, 38 days, and i feel it has been so a bstra ct days, and i feel it has been so abstract for so many years since the referendum that we are approaching judgment day and it's looking increasingly like a game of brinksmanship and who is going to blink. borisjohnson brinksmanship and who is going to blink. boris johnson is brinksmanship and who is going to blink. borisjohnson is making it as clear as he can that it will not be the uk, so the small print and tony knows more about the small print and ido, but knows more about the small print and i do, but i'm getting the impression that we are looking towards, if somebody doesn't bend and boris johnson expected to be europe, that we will be looking at no deal. that
10:37 pm
is the message i think he wants eve ryo ne is the message i think he wants everyone in the uk and europe to receive. tony, can you give us more detail? it's lovely to see you. or speak to you. this is either a really serious bluff or it's an insane strategy. they are saying they are going to break the withdrawal agreement, break an international treaty and make their owi'i international treaty and make their own rules around state aid and potentially their own rules about northern ireland and the idea of a concept of a hardboard again which the inch prior withdrawal agreement was to avoid so it's either a big bluff and their attempt to say to the european union that if you don't go our way, we will trash the agreement and put a hardboard in ireland, but i find it difficult to believe that the government is even considering breaking an international agreement —— hard border. if you do, you won't get anyone else signing trade deals with you, because you break agreements.
10:38 pm
turning to the front page of the daily telegraph, johnson, 38 tales from brexit deal we walk. —— 38 days. he is talking about this great new world that being a sovereign nation away from these cloisters and the restrictions of the eu, but as tony says, it's not a good look. it's as if to say, any agreement we make, we don't want to be constrained by it. it is a game of brinksmanship and the divorce is different from the courtship process , different from the courtship process, but however, it is 38 days. the 15th of october, if things are done by then, then what? we have so much going on in this country and suddenly to be having this huge war on our doorstep with our neighbours, ifind it very on our doorstep with our neighbours, i find it very discomforting. tony, is it too fast, too soon to be laying down these ultimatums? well, no, because the reality is that the
10:39 pm
uk leaves the transition period at the end of december and if you want an agreement, it has to be signed up by other european countries and you need it that it must be approved. the strategy is terrible, but the maths are correct, imagine a german newspaper publishing a headline saying that the eu has 38 days to come to a deal at the table. it's pa rt of come to a deal at the table. it's part of the absurd nature of our presses that everything is based around the idea that we are at war with europe and they are being unreasonable and we are being entirely reasonable, and as caroline pointed out, in the divorce it's normally both parties who are being unreasonable. coming back to coronavirus and we turn to the front page of the daily mail and there is a new hope in terms of a test to halve quarantine time. caroline? very interesting which papers are concentrated on the good news and bad news. this is an optimistic headline and we know the aviation and tourism industry has been in
10:40 pm
disarray, coffee shops, get back to work, get up to town, save our cities but meanwhile airports are sitting empty and we have heard that testing centres are up and running but no one is going through them because of the lack of confidence and this is proposed as a solution, one of two solutions, that you will be tested on your return from where ever you have been and you will then be retested a few days later or that you will have a test not 1a days later, but eight days later, so desperate to halve the quarantine that caused mayhem just with people travelling across europe. it was almost like a lottery. it was just a bingo of where you could go and get backin bingo of where you could go and get back in time for school and work. so everybody will be very relieved, consumers, but certainly those officials to hear that even if it is a one bit of the industry that can somehow be put back on its feet, thatis somehow be put back on its feet, that is good news. changing the rules again slightly, tony? well, it's covid and they will say something else tomorrow and something else tomorrow and something different on thursday,
10:41 pm
thatis something different on thursday, that is this government. the thing i find interesting apart from the daily mail doing one of their campaigns so it's not surprising they have something positive to say about the campaign they organise, but what i find interesting is that the government is reacting from pressure from mps which is something to consider that this is a government elected less than a year ago and major policy issues are being sidelined because tory mps are being sidelined because tory mps are being upset. the telegraph and we have airport testing could be, well, the same story, it could save 110,000 jobs. but this one is focused on the industry and i think the daily mail is reaching out to us as wanting to fly around and reassuring us as wanting to fly around and reassuring us we as wanting to fly around and reassuring us we would be in good hands. the daily telegraph is taking a more economic angle and pointing out what an axe wound in the back of the industry has been suffered through the season. it can't come
10:42 pm
soon through the season. it can't come soon enough. this season has gone, we are in september and the summer seasonis we are in september and the summer season is over so the tourism industry in 2020 didn't happen but there is still an industry to save andi there is still an industry to save and i think that is what the daily telegraph is focusing on. tony, i will take you to the front page of the guardian and ministers have lost control of the virus spread, say experts. yeah, this is a matter of grave concern and schools are back, universities going back on the government encouraging people to go back into the workplace so the idea that the rise in infections has been so significant and has doubled in a day, the numbers we are talking about is still relatively low, 5000 was mentioned and one of the other issuesis was mentioned and one of the other issues is that the experience they've had in other countries although the other cases might be rising, the number of hospital admissions is not on the rise appears to be significantly amongst younger people, so it's a mixed
10:43 pm
picture. caroline? as tony said, the numbers are obviously higher and worrying to anyone who has experienced it. but it does seem to go in line with what we discussed with the scientist saying the illness is taking on new mutated forms, perhaps less potent, less deadly because that's the only way it can stay in circulation, however, with schools going back and universities about to go back, with all of us being told to get out of our houses and go back to work, this is something to make us take stock. when you look at the figures, it was 3000 people, almost 3000 who tested positive yesterday and that is a 50% increase, isn't it? and possibly this is the second wave. increase, isn't it? and possibly this is the second wavelj increase, isn't it? and possibly this is the second wave. i think that was probably inevitable with the virus having never been vaccinated or extinguished and people are adjusting in some form, as we are being encouraged to come back to real life so inevitably with it's still bubbling around somewhere
10:44 pm
this was going to happen. i think the big challenge is how to somehow balance that fear with managing our lives, because otherwise we will be caught ina lives, because otherwise we will be caught in a hermit —like stake —— state, to ever —— too fearful to ever leave the house. but the good news is tony says that the numbers are high on the strength is low and hospital admissions are mercifully lower than in previous months. hospital admissions are mercifully lower than in previous monthslj think lower than in previous months.” think we will finish with the front page of the mirror. heartless and clueless, the emotions from marcus rashford to a tory mp, who the paper says appeared to blame parents for struggling to feed hungry children. tony? i think this is part two of marcus rashford is better at politics and politicians and the government, it's a difficult one for them because joanna lumley did something similar a few years back with the gurkhas and it's very difficult to take a well loved celebrity and go toe to toe with them and on an issue emotive as this
10:45 pm
and you have a tin eared conservative mp who said the sort of thing is that tin eared conservative mps tend to say, and i don't think anyone would bring children into the world unless they thought they could feed them and i think there is a lack of understanding amongst conservative mps are often peoples circumstances change and they find themselves in a situation where children can't get food and they need free school meals, and i genuinely think this is another fight that marcus rashford will win. it has an air of being out of touch. certainly. this is one of these norman tebbit —like lines. certainly. this is one of these norman tebbit -like lines. get on your bike. no parent comes into the world wishing not to be able to feed their children and the primal aim that all of us understand is what we can relate to but life is complicated and this year has been more complicated than most and i would only support what tony is saying. when you take on a very popular, clearly compassionate and intelligent and articulate footballer with a huge multi—million
10:46 pm
fan base on social media and beyond, you take them on at your peril in this day and age. caroline, tonally, lovely to speak to you both again. and we will do it all again at 1130, but for now, thank you very much. and thank you for watching. next it's click. welcome back, hope you are doing 0k and we are still here for you and we a lwa ys and we are still here for you and we always will be. i hope i've got that right. lara, how are you? do you feel refreshed?
10:47 pm
i certainly do. it is weird going back to workjust involving a different bit of the house. how has your time off been? it was quiet. didn't go away. usually i would have taken in a festival or two. i can't ican't imagine i can't imagine you going to a festival. it has been known. in fact, the edinburgh fringe festival is a big deal. i love seeing all the comedians trying out their new material. but you have been making up for it online. i have been going to quite a few virtual comedy gigs and this is the new way comedians are getting themselves heard. give a massive cheer for the start of the show. drop into the online comedy club the covid arms and you will find a host of stand—ups and while they do their gigs, the club has so far raised £100,000 for charity.
10:48 pm
one of the things about lockdown is you know your kids a lot better because you are with them 24 hours a day, seven days a week. i need to give the teacher is a big present. but doing stand—up without being able to hear the audience is a tough gig and you have to craft your routine carefully. new material is hard to do online without an audience because it is so symbiotic, because you are basically taking this precious butterfly of an idea and asking, is this rubbish? i think you need some kind of live audience if you are doing new material but if you are doing tried and trusted, you know where the funnies are. no point in saying anything amusing. comedy panel shows on tv and radio have also gone on air without an audience. and in many cases without a studio. ijust realised i have never been to your house. that's true.
10:49 pm
well, we will not invite you any time soon. because of the lockdown? sure. one of the first to try recording in lockdown were rachel parrish and nish kumar hoping theirjokes would hit home. asa as a performer, i miss the audience so much. i can tell the difference between my performances. when you have an audience, this light comes on. but now rachel and her husband, marcus brigstock, can hear the laughs again. you keep chatting and i will give it a go. i will keep chatting about mini cheddars. we had a conversation, that is the most upstaging thing you could do. that has made it worse.
10:50 pm
this is their weekly online show at the always be comedy club and it has a live front row. i think the front row we hear and see on these online gigs is only ten people and it makes such a huge difference, it changes the gig completely. it means you can do yourjokes, with the correct timing. and as we heard earlier, a live audience is vital in helping comedians workshop new material. after all barnstorming routines don't arrive fully formed. so i would be going out at least five nights a week to play tiny venues with a brand—new hour and they pay a very small amount of money. i suppose in a sense that is what the tuesday night abc show is £3 which we regret, that is a bit too low but it is £3 of us tumbling through a string of ideas. some of which will turn into great and long=lasting routines
10:51 pm
that we do for the next year. james gill is the mc and warm up for the couple and he has found there are certain hazards to having an audience who are live in their own living rooms. two of our regulars have a dog and so... again, you don't get this at the palladium. but a couple of times a comedian might be in the middle of a set and you can hear the dog barking. i know that tim, quick as a flash, is finding that box, clicking mote. this is a different world for comedians who are so used to a stage and little else and some are experimenting. harry hill hides in the edge of his webcam shots. al murray's pub landlord character now preaches from a virtual beer cellar.
10:52 pm
and the virtual background video feature means stuart laws is sometimes upstaged by himself during his gig. different sauces for different courses. and some comedians have gone even more interactive. beautiful, great. this is how monica teaches improvisation in online lessons. she is also part of an online improv show where the line—up react and improvise with each other remotely. it is a skill she says is useful in life and work as well as on stage. 0ur it is all of those key skills like listening, being able to be open to failure, listening to yourself and not judging yourself and also about playing and creativity.
10:53 pm
something i find as an adult we condition ourselves out of. if a situation happened and all of a sudden it changes, that is not to panic inducing for you, it means whatever situation you are put into you were able to do with it. comedy clubs are now starting to reopen and the comedians i have spoken to are gagging to get back to them but online gigs may just stick around. one thing that has come out of this is when and if my tour comes back, i will have a digital date on the tour. also it means anyone who wasn't able to get a baby—sitter that night or has anxiety, gets to go and see it. if anyone can visit a gig anywhere in the world, it does cause a problem for comedians still honing their acts. you are blasting through material.
10:54 pm
when i do a tour, each night is special and you talk about where you are, broadly speaking i do the same show every time with stuff special to that night. you can't do that online and therefore what you develop it can't get good in the same way. because you can't repeat it. but who knows, maybe a new generation of live comics will be born out of this situation who can make the medium work in new ways. after all, how many gigs have you been to that end like this? this is samsung's third attempt at a folding phone and what a difference a year makes. compared to the original galaxy fold, almost everything has been improved apart from the name. this is the samsung galaxy z fold 2, 5g.
10:55 pm
when the original went on sale in september 2019 it had a tiny screen on the outside, a huge camera inside and a metal finish that was a total fingerprint magnet. this time, the outside screen is a sensible 6.2 inches, the inside bustled are reduced and the back is a pleasant matte finished. everything is so much more refined that it makes last year's galaxy fold seem as a prototype which is partly why people say it is not always a good idea to be an early adopter. what are we supposed to use this for? evidently it combines the convenience of a phone with a screen the size of a tablet and some apps support flex—mode which splits the display in two so you can watch youtube videos like this and in the camera you can take photos like this although i'm not exactly sure why you'd want to. although with the external display,
10:56 pm
you can use the phone as its own stand for video calls which is quite useful. i think it will be quite nice if you could keep it on your desk sideways to see notifications and calendar events, although the lock screen is vertical only so it is not optimised for this and you get that feeling from a lot of apps. samsung acknowledges it needs more developers to modify the apps and in time it will improve, but this disconnect extends to the operating system. you can put your favourite apps on the home screen, close the phone and they are gone because there are two independent home screens which makes sense, but it's not how i expected it to work. the category of folding phones has put some excitement back into smartphones but it is difficult to say what will become the most popular format, if any. companies are still figuring out what works best. samsung has its z flip. instead of expanding into a tablet, that is a regular phone that folds in half and the microsoft duo
10:57 pm
has two displays but the screens don't fold. this latest effort from samsung doesn't fold flat, there is still a gap which i expect they will change in the future. crucially, unlike other flagship smartphones, this isn't water or dust resitstant are spending £1800 on a phone, they don't want it to get broken by dust although if you're rich enough to spend that much on a phone, you can probably buy a second as a spare. brilliant stuff. that was chris and that is it for this short cut of click. the full—length version is waiting for you right now on i—player. you can find a team on social media, youtube, instagram and facebook and twitter. see you soon. goodbye.
10:58 pm
we have mixed weather fortunes to come through monday across the north and west of the uk, it will be a cloudy day with outbreaks of rain and also quite windy for a time. the rain never really reaches the south—east of england so after a sunny start things will cloud over somewhat but it should stay dry and bright. in detail, we can see the rain from scotland and northern ireland moving into parts of northern england and wales for the day and after a sunny start of england things will cloud over but across east anglia and south—east england we will properly keep bright skies throughout and it should stay dry with temperatures up to 20 degrees and we might see some brighter weather pushing into the far north—west late in the day. tuesday looks like being a pretty cloudy day and it will feel more humid and that humidity could bring a few patches of drizzle around the western coast hills, but where it
10:59 pm
breaks, it will become warm with spells of sunshine and temperatures widely in the low 20s. tuesday promises to be the warmest day of the week.
11:00 pm
this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. more than 100 people are detained in belarus during the latest protests against the disputed re—election of president lukashenko. people who've come here today are talking notjust about having a grievance about the election itself, but many have turned out because they are so upset about the crackdown, the response to the demonstrations. uk police hunting a man who went on a 90—minute stabbing rampage in the city of birmingham release cctv footage of a suspect. as the world battles to curb rising coronavirus cases, the uk records its highest daily infections since may.
