11:30 pm
things are set to get quite a bit warmer, and the reason for that is this area of high pressure is going to be pushing a little bit further eastwards. as it does that, we start to get southerly winds. now, temperatures over the last few days reached the mid—30s in parts of central france, and essentially it's that warm air wafting across england and wales. it really is england and wales that will see the highest temperatures. scotland and northern ireland, a fair bit of cloud around, maybe a few patches of rain in the far north west later in the day. temperatures about 19—20 degrees. the heat across eastern england, particularly south east england and around the greater london area, temperatures will probably reach 30 degrees somewhere as we head through the afternoon. now it looks like being another very warm day. the heat‘s on again for england and wales on tuesday. further north and west, again, the cloud could thicken to give an odd patch of rain, maybe an odd shower for wales and western england. for most here, it should stay dry. and again those temperatures up to 29, maybe 30 degrees in the hottest areas. there will, though, be a significant change in the weather as we head from tuesday into wednesday,
11:31 pm
and the reason for that change, with much cooler weather on the way, is down to this area of high pressure that develops to our north. what that's going to do is it's going to send much cooler north—to—northeasterly winds down the north sea, and that will really hammer the temperatures. now, on wednesday, there will still be a lot of drier weather around, still with some sunshine, maybe a few isolated light showers here and there. but look at the change in temperatures, down to about six, maybe seven degrees for some in the north east, and eventually those cooler conditions will reach the far south west, too.
11:32 pm
hello. this is bbc news with me, lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings paper's in a moment. first, the headlines — thejustice secretary defends the government potentially breaking international law over changes to the brexit withdrawal agreement. this is a collective will on the part of the government not just to prepare for the worst, but also to protect the internal workings of our united kingdom. that's responsible government. concern from care home providers over access to the government's coronavirus testing programme as infections rise. a stretch of the ms has been closed in gloucestershire
11:33 pm
after a serious collision involving several vehicles. the husband of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, the british—iranian woman jailed forspying in iran, says there's a "confusing game" going on between two governments and that it's taking a toll on her. all along, this has been a game of cat—and—mouse between iranian authorities and the british government. and they're using nazanin as leverage to get the money that the uk owes them. and that's been true for a long time. that was certainly true this past week. music. sue barker is leaving the bbc‘s a question of sport after 23 years as part of a major shake—up at the programme. 17,000 people have been participating in a virtual version of the great north run, which was cancelled because of the pandemic.
11:34 pm
hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejoe twyman, the co—founder and director of deltapoll uk, and the broadcaster yasmin alibhai—brown. great yasmin alibhai—brown. to have you both back. a q| look great to have you both back. a quick look at the front pages. "act fast or lose control within days," reads the front page of the times as a scientific adviser to the government warns that britain may be only a few days from losing control of coronavirus infections. "final virus warning" — another sombre headline on the frontpage of the mirror, with medics warning that a new coronavirus peak is inevitable within the coming months if improvements aren't made to the track—and—trace system. meanwhile, the paper says ministers are considering telling 4.5 million people to shield.
11:35 pm
the independent says the party's over, with a picture of revellers on the streets of soho ahead of a new law banning gatherings of more than six from tomorrow. meanwhile on the metro, the tale of a student who was fined £10,000 for organising a party that broke existing covid rules. he says he invited 25 people, but it's reported that more than 50 partygoers turned up to the house in lenton, nottingham. gps are being told that they must see patients "face—to—face", reports the front page of the telegraph. the paper says a letter to every gp in england following growing concern that too many patients are "shut out" from surgeries. 0n the front page of the daily mail, figures showing the impact of the pandemic on hospital admissions, with reports that during lockdown, admissions for seven major illnesses
11:36 pm
were down by 173,000 compared to the same time last year. for cancer alone, admissions were down by 137,000. elsewhere, the financial times reports that bp is warning that global oil demand could peak within the next few years, signalling a decline in the fossil fuel era earlier than anticipated. that was a look at the front pages. so, let's begin. we will kick off of the front page of the times with brexit leading. this is the story that is done writing papers tonight and handed has submitted submitted the headlines today. thejustice secretary said in an interview that he would be willing to support the changes to the international law
11:37 pm
treaty they have been drawn up with the eu if it meant unacceptable break of international law. he is not defined what that means exactly in of course he put it in terms to say he would not break on unsuitable treaty but it is all very confusing and a lot of posturing between both sides. both of whom it is fair to point out blame each other. and both sides accuse the other one of misleading the public. but what emphasises is that the issues for brexit in this government are far from over and there is talk of rebellion among backbenchers on this. the former attorney general has come out and said that he is not in favour of this bill and he will abstain. but with the majority of 80, the government does not expect defeat but it is infinitely not idealfor them to be in. and it emphasises the difficulty they have
11:38 pm
with brexit in the months that are ahead. forgetting of course all of theissues ahead. forgetting of course all of the issues that they have with covid on top of that. coming to you just to apologise for viewers that we could not quite get the lighting right on the connection but your view on what is going to take place tomorrow. i think as joe says the majority they have is going to see this thing through but this is absolutely appalling that a country which for centuries has taken pride in the fact that it about —— it upholds international law and the rule of law, nowjust willy—nilly tear things up. and it's notjust the eu and this i disagree withjoe a bit about because northern ireland is getting restive too. this is a major threat to the integrity of the united kingdom, and to blame the eu
11:39 pm
for that... i mean, united kingdom, and to blame the eu forthat... i mean, borisjohnson and his gang, they blame everybody for stuff that actually primarily the responsibility rests with them. sol the responsibility rests with them. so i think we are interesting some very rough seas but he will get his way. he always gets his wife. if this is good for the country, for the rule of law for our good reputation internationally, he does not care but i think the rest of us should. to the front page of the guardian and obviously an amendment being table imposing upon entry lock on any changes to the w a. the dup haveit on any changes to the w a. the dup have it rejected claims that there is any territorial integrity or threat to territorial integrity and the northern ireland peace process, which is the allegation that has been put forward. there is no doubt
11:40 pm
that it been put forward. there is no doubt thatitis been put forward. there is no doubt that it is incredibly, collocated situation. the key to this is the tendency of the good friday agreement and the peace process. and the resurrection of borders, the resurrection of customs controls and all the paraphernalia that comes with that would be a huge blow to the whole island of ireland, both northern ireland and the republic. so all efforts are being made to avoid that at all cost. but at the same time, boris johnson avoid that at all cost. but at the same time, borisjohnson does not wa nt same time, borisjohnson does not want a situation where northern ireland effectively becomes sort of a free port they can operate in the european union and the united kingdom. and he wants to maintain the sanctity of the union. but exactly how you balance that is usually complicated and he supported the withdrawal agreement in its initial phases and indeed talked to northern ireland businesses about what is precisely happening now would not happen. and so, yes, he may blame the eu for that and they may blame the eu for that and they
11:41 pm
may blame the eu for that and they may blame him but at the end result is very damaging, i don't think anyone will be forgiven. to the daily mail now so being it is many pages as we can end. so a lock down blow to the uk health with hospital admissions. this is a genuine concern. admissions. this is a genuine concern. i think for all people who are affected, those who have chronic illnesses, life—threatening illnesses, life—threatening illnesses, operations scheduled, everything has been cancelled or is being delayed. and if there is going to be another peak as we are being warned, you know, the pressure on the national health service will be i think even worse than it was the first time around because of these other people who will die unless they get their operations and their treatment. and it's terrible. it's terrible to be so pessimistic and so
11:42 pm
frightening all the time. but i cannot see how we are going to get around this problem. i really cannot see how the demands of a peak in coronavirus and then all the other needs of all the other patients can be balanced. sol needs of all the other patients can be balanced. so i think it is a good front page story for the daily mail to have run actually to remind us that there is something more going on in health besides covid. still the same subjects you can still comment on the front page of the daily mail but also the front page of the times, which is also a coronavirus story. act fast or lose control. could you combine the two, if you could? the act faster lose control is in response to comments and of professor peter 0penshaw from the imperial college london about the imperial college london about theissues the imperial college london about the issues of lock downs and new
11:43 pm
rules and the rule of six that is being introduced on monday and he has suggested that the country only has suggested that the country only has a few days to avoid a very damaging situation with a second way. worth pointing out that this is in contrast to professor carl hannigan from boston university who was quoted in the telegraph today saying that these changes are too drastic and could have long reaching effects. it goes to show that there is not a consensus in among experts when it comes to how to deal with this. but what's clear is it is a very difficult situation. and in terms of public opinion up until now, the current system of government has been that things were done to slowly and they did not move fast enough and that the rules don't go far enough. the question is is this now going to be perceived as acting correctly over the knock on effects, whether it's a type of effects, whether it's a type of effects we have seen in other health areas as set out in the daily mail,
11:44 pm
01’ areas as set out in the daily mail, or in the economy or other areas, with those knock on effects because even greater damage because there is no easy way out of this situation. in very very difficult questions have to be answered and difficult decisions have to be made. and up until now it is unclear exactly how this second wave, which seemed for all intents and purposes like it is really on the way, how that will be dealt with given that the numbers are going up, we have seen 3000 new cases reported for the last three days. but the number of hospital admissions and the number of deaths so far at least does seem to be more under control and we saw in march and april. very quickly, the front page of the metro, but as you make of this £10,000 fine, still on covid? i think there have to be some of these examples made i think because people are very lax. i have talked to so many citizens of other
11:45 pm
places who say what is wrong with your country, why are people not simply doing the right thing? what is it that stops them for the sake of their own health and the health of their own health and the health of their own health and the health of the nation? just do basic stuff. you don't need to party. you will have as many parties if you want in a year's time. i'm sounding very ha rd a year's time. i'm sounding very hard line here but i think we do need to make an example of people who are really flouting. he says he invited 20 but that is already too many. let's go to the front page of the telegraph. it looks like that the telegraph. it looks like that the bbc is going to be axing meetings or the meetings culture. this will resonate relate beyond this studio. i think we have all beenin this studio. i think we have all been in meetings at one time or another where sadly i think do we really need to do this? am i interested in this? is my heart
11:46 pm
still beating? all these fundamentally important questions. sometimes the
