us president donald trump has broken into his campaign to visit california where record wildfires have left a trail of destruction. his election rivaljoe biden says he is in denial about climate change. borisjohnson‘s conservatives have won the first vote in their the battle over the new brexit bill. it would allow britain to breach the brexit treaty it signed with the european union. the american software giant, oracle, has confirmed it wants a technology partnership with the chinese—owned video—sharing app, tiktok. time was running out for a deal after president trump threatened to ban the popular app unless its american operations were sold. and there's new evidence there might be life on our nearest planet, venus. scientists say they've detected a gas in it's atmosphere, normally produced by living organisms.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are matt dathan, deputy political editor at the sun and anna isaac, journalist at the wall streetjournal. we were having one or two problems but she has persevered and she is with us. welcome to you both. tomorrow's front pages. the metro says that the uk government's self—proclaimed "world—beating" coronavirus testing system has been branded a "shambles" after people living in england's ten top covid—19 hotspots are struggling to book an appointment. the telegraph says nhs hospitals in england are now having to cancel operations and turn away patients as shortages of covid—19 tests keep doctors and nurses stuck at home, without a test for themselves or theirfamilies. the daily mail goes with a warning

from a new report that the pandemic has sparked a huge rise in problem drinking. the number of britons downing high—risk levels of alcohol has nearly doubled to 8.4 million since february, the paper says. the guardian leads with brexit. the paper says a leaked confidential government document warns of queues of 7,000 lorries in kent and two—day delays for freight to cross to the eu. the mirror splashes on what it calls "rule of six chaos" after grouse hunters were told they can still shoot in big groups despite new rules in england that limit social gatherings. and the express goes with a warning from a leading charity that a backlog of cancer patients awaiting treatment because of the pandemic is "past point of no return". so, let's begin. we start with the times this hour.

the headline virus tests run out as a last struggle with demand. it has been very confusing messages at times, anna. some people sort of went to believe they couldn't request a test whenever they like and now here we are with a shortage of them. —— that they could request a test. it is conflicting messaging, matt hancock was saying he was hoping not to ration tests but not that looks like it is on the cards for support of it is the managing system of 200,000 people a day, some people and care homes are trying their commitment to someone of the extraordinary problems that was on the first week of coronavirus earlier this year. that means that people who were trying to have checks to be extra careful perhaps may be going to travel, that might have had to be going around for work, regular tests because there are these key workers that could be

exposed to people with coronavirus orare exposed to people with coronavirus or are very vulnerable if they catch it like people who work in hospitals. we see that the system is overwhelmed again because of laboratory capacity is not necessary the test centres themselves being full but that they can't then follow through and get those tests done in time if they are not done in time, than there is no point in having the swa bs ta ke n than there is no point in having the swabs taken in the first place. so we're seeing a real sort of disintegration of the system at the moment which means people have to step in and ration again. if you are prepared to drive the maximum distance of 75 miles that man hancock has said will be the limit, you can't get a test it would seem for a lot of places. you can't get the tests in the ten top infectious places in the uk and up in the northwest it is quite extraordinary to read tomorrow's front pages where we are now in mid—september, six months on from the lockdown in march

saying that ministers did not expect so saying that ministers did not expect so much demand for tests. we have come along way, the government is already looking forward to these moonshot tests would could provide 10 million a day they hope in the next few months and they could provide you and the thousand day. they are surprised at the demand, and it is quite a certain or to be reading this actually. we are at about 1,000 reading this actually. we are at about1,000 and reading this actually. we are at about 1,000 and day now, that was the target that boris johnson said backin the target that boris johnson said back in mick bay. it is quite depressing to read and quite worrying especially for those people who have symptoms and could be spreading the virus. -- said back in mid—may. as we have said very mixed m essa 9 es mid—may. as we have said very mixed messages at times. let's look at the mirror, matt. rule of six chaos unbelievable and here we have eight graphs shoot on a scottish more. everyone is being told that you can't in various parts

of the country, but essentially, the rule is no more than six people indoors after slipping on where you are in england. but if you are grouse shooting, 59 can get together for some something that wouldn't worry me much, i don't know about you. not me, this is a very typical daily mirrorfront page. you. not me, this is a very typical daily mirror front page. ensuring the fact that organised sports events can have 30 people playing them but we are banned from meeting insects are mingling. it draws on our these rules that we are living in. —— meeting in groups that are mainly. i can already see the mirror's front page smash on boxing day while families are restricted to just six. it is very clever and the former sports minister has come out fighting saying it shows how the

government's topsy to repurchase a vision of tapping the pandemic. it isa very vision of tapping the pandemic. it is a very good example of how the mixed messages as you are talking about for some set up against that idea that you can't see some families getting together. they're too big a group. evenjust looking at the evolution and the different size of groups you are allowed and the contrast if you're in wales or scotland, and scott when children do not count. you can't have a group made up in... there are comforting m essa 9 es made up in... there are comforting messages not only in what constitutes a sport as he might know in the era but what constitutes group that is acceptable in the eyes of the law and it is the law now, it isa of the law and it is the law now, it is a real shift in tone, we are told that we should be keeping an eye on

oui’ that we should be keeping an eye on our neighbours, we should be reporting that if we see people breaching those roles. and speaking of the law, on the son, fury at ministers call for rule of six snoops, basically, shop your neighbour if you see someone doing something right shouldn't. an extraordinary thing to think about, we have been a country that would make severe comparisons with eastern germany quite often in terms of the language we use when it comes to being an officious neighbour but this is a change in town, this idea you call the cops, call the nonemergency police number two site you believe people are breaching restrictions. when you think of how difficult it will be for families to

get together, different living conditions people have and how restricted they are, if they live at home or are bubbling in a group, that will become very difficult and that will become very difficult and that will become very difficult and that will cause lasting social problems if people start to break the rules and get reported for it. that could create real tensions in a neighbourhood and they can beat serious when trying to get back to a sense of normality as we go forward and hopefully as a vaccine comes forward. they are not advocating we shot people together, scientists who we re shot people together, scientists who were advising the government, they arejust hoping we were advising the government, they are just hoping we all do the right thing. i know, and i suspect kit malthouse was speaking out of turn. i wouldn't be surprised in the next few days if the governments often

the language, already today the prime minister a's spokesperson told us prime minister a's spokesperson told us vines would not be imposed on people this week, we would have a soft landing. i think it will have an effect on neighbours and communities but the police federation are furious that the policing minister this morning, they made the valid point this shift resources from fighting serious crime and there is a quote in the paperand the crime and there is a quote in the paper and the website of the sun, the head of the police federation thinks this will create self—styled heroes who will be on the phone nonstop. you can imagine, let's not do that. let's all take responsibility for ourselves, she said ina responsibility for ourselves, she said in a slightly preachy manner. let's look at the daily mail, britain turned to drink, numbered

downing high risk levels doubles during the pandemic and it's the middle class drinkers who are the worst. yes, it's been a sharp increase, 40% of middle—class people are drinking too much, up more than 23% so a sharp increase and people say its concerns about financial trouble in the future security of your employment, dealing with stress and boredom of not having as much stimulation as you might have had before lockdown but this could have serious long—term impacts and that's when we started think of the beyond covid, nhs waiting times for non—urgent care, problems like excess drinking, weight gain, what we are seeing excess drinking, weight gain, what we are seeing are excess drinking, weight gain, what we are seeing are these huge public health time bomb is showing us the other side of trying to protect people in the short term, there will be serious repercussions and

drinking too much regularly is very serious in terms of its long—term affects. you have addiction but also things like liver disease, pancreatitis, severe depression so there are reasons why doctors come you have the cancer health community saying they are concerned by a backlog there and psychiatrists say they are concerned about the drinking habits we are developing here. matt, if during lot don't you have not had to travel into work, you have a more leisurely start, the temptation to drink the night before work is probably greater because you don't have to get up so early. yeah, i will have one more drink, but also we are doing less natural exercise, we are doing less natural exercise, we are doing less natural exercise, we are not walking to the station or the bus or walking around the office, especially during lockdown so we office, especially during lockdown so we might all have been doing joe

works' zoom call but we are not doing that natural exercise and burning off the boos from the night before. my dog has benefited, she has been walked so much but she doesn't mind. how much is she drinking? she is teetotal these days. johnson confronted by growing tory fault even sajid javid the former chancellor unhappy with what boris johnson has tried to do with this internal market bill, matt.|j johnson has tried to do with this internal market bill, matt. ithink there is a lot of rhetoric, there was a lot talking the site, we had five living perimeters and seven javid and the government went on to win bya javid and the government went on to win by a 77 majority. a proxy battle for next week billy and i think the prime minister's assurance that mps will get a vote before they actually

go through with this move to override last year's withdrawal agreement hasn't stopped a lot of mps from upsetting. but i do not think it is as big a story as a lot of the headlines show today. a lot of the headlines show today. a lot of people would disagree. it has generated typically a watch of debate on social media, anna, as to whether this would really break international law or not. the issue of whether it would break international law or not whether or not this possibly introduces the power to do so or whether or not having this bill in its own right brea ks having this bill in its own right breaks the rules but you have also got to see some of these numbers in context was up we look at the number 77 and we think of the majority of 80 in the tory party and that it doesn't go to bed. we are adding most like at the eight votes of the dup there and some of the estimates that are coming out are 22 abstentions and potentially more, we

will not see until we see the division list for sure. but what is right and what is important is the real battle down the road is whether things heat up or not in the lords, whether the amendments get increasingly contested. science as an insurance policy may have got borisjohnson this an insurance policy may have got boris johnson this far an insurance policy may have got borisjohnson this far but it is a very important question but it will get him further and bigger even if it will completely derail trade talks and leave us with a new deal by january. —— sign talks and leave us with a new deal byjanuary. —— sign it as an insurance policy. the guardian is looking at the end of the year revealing that number ten says that more than 7000 lorries are stuck in post brexit chaos whether we have a do or not and poor old kent and the point of it. we have gone back and time again where these reasonable worst—case scenarios one with cues of 7000 lorries and even passengers going on euro star facing to our

extra cues for euro star and this it syste m extra cues for euro star and this it system which is going to be in place hopefully on january the 1st for worried drivers is not going to be tested until november i suspect because it is not until then when we know there will be a trade agreement in place with the eu but it goes to show what more disruption we are going to face on top of the destruction that we are facing right now covid. it does feel like we are retracing some of those discussions that we had, anna, sometime ago about whether or not it would be difficult to get goods in and out of the country just briefly. difficult to get goods in and out of the countryjust briefly. we are retreating them but the point is we have more information now going from a speculative worst—case and worst economic estimates to being we have a sense of how much needs to get through this i the needle in time and the it support necessary to do it. and we can see the it support has not been built yet and may not

meet its deadline. let's finish with the financial times. venus rises as extraterrestrial hotspot after signs of life found in cloud systems despite the fact that it's a pretty inhospitable place up there on venus. they reckon there could be some microbe that's able to live something like 50—60 km above the surface of the planet. yes there is a lot of excitement about something called phosphine which i have not come across since i was called phosphine which i have not come across since i was trying to open some a—level textbooks, and it isa open some a—level textbooks, and it is a gaseous being given off that would normally be associated with life forms. astrobiologist, not a word i use often, are getting very excited about the repercussions of this and saying this is the level of evidence we have not reached before. it is still a long way of saying we might have some kind of bacteria or creature that is living there whether or not that is intelligent

life, that as a whole different story but the more we learn, the more it seems increasingly likely that we have life forms remarkably close to earth. it really changes our perspective about whether there is life way out there in the universe and what kind of life we might have on our doorstep. universe and what kind of life we might have on our doorsteplj universe and what kind of life we might have on our doorstep. i must pick you up on something you reset when you said you were trying to open a—level textbooks, did you succeed? i got to a levels in the end! i am glad those books weren't too tricky to open. but venus much closer than mars, matt. so who knows we might have much closer neighbours than the red planet. i did not even do chemistry gcse so anna has got one on me there for opening the books. what i found it fascinating is there is only two main sources of this phosphine which is from the guts of animals like penguins and the like or from swans or from

industrial manufacturing.” the like or from swans or from industrial manufacturing. i don't think they have many of those on venus as far as we think they have many of those on venus 3s far 3s we are think they have many of those on venus as far as we are aware we mightfind venus as far as we are aware we might find factories popping up on venus! do you understand the subsection of some people to find whom life elsewhere, matt? deftly at the moment because of the crisis we are going through and the desperation to be living another life. do you, anna? i think it is very exciting to give us a sense of perspective in terms of the vast universe out there and to realise that maybe we are quite small and i think that might be quite healthy for some of us. don't you think though that if we are less bothered about what was going on up there and more about preserving the awesomeness of life down here, we would maybe get our priorities right? i think if you think about the pictures we saw a firth from space, that completely change the climate change argument. i think the deponent of science and exclamation goes hand—in—hand with try to save the planet as we get better

understanding. i suppose as a geographer i am obsessed with what is happening down here but if i wasn't astrobiologist maybe things would be different. matt, anna, lovely to have you us tonight. do buy a paper in the morning. night night. hello, this is your sports news where we start with the news that chelsea have won their opening premier legaue game of the season 3—1 away to brighton. frank lampard's new—look chelsea got off to a winning start to their premier league campaign with a 3—1 victory at brighton. brighton had equalised after a penalty scored byjorginho butjust two minutes later reece james hit a wonderful strike for his first ever premier league goal and then it was james who delivered the corner for kurt zouma to score a deflected

third and land all three points for the londoners. it is a tough ask for everybody, we only had a few days of work as a team and i didn't expect the kind of football that we want to play that takes time to bit of work and that will come, but today we cannot always produce that, you have to do things well, the more difficult side of the game, resilience, throwing yourself in front of the ball in terms of defence, and you get a goal comes and i'm pleased, tough place to come. elsewhere, wolves got their season off to the perfect start with a 2—0 win at sheffield united. rauljimenez opened the scoring, before romain saiss added a second with this header. both goals coming in the opening six minutes. the identity of the players is in the character, the way they work like you say,

resilient the end, organised and it is very difficult, sheffield is an amazing team and they require a lot of defensive work and we did that and so very pleased. french football's governing body will look at officials reports and match pictures later this week to decide what action is needed following last night's brawl at the end of psg's match with marseille. you can see neymar in animated conversation with alvaro gonzalez near the end of the game here. neymar later accused one of his opponents of racially abusing him. a couple of bad challenges sparked a brawl which led to five players being sent off, one of those was neymar who was dismissed after the ref used var to spot him hitting gonzalez on the back of the head. neymar probably even more angry, after the game then he said that he was racially abused

calling him a monkey and other insults and so far, we haven't had proper proof. from audio or tv channels in france broadcast in the game. we will have to french discipline community on what's looking into it. people are not downing him, but they're saying that he has been racially abused and the other casing that he did not do it. we just have to see what happened. harlequins overcame gloucester 28—15 at kingsholm to confirm a top eight spot in the premiership and also a european champions cup spot. the pilot scheme of crowds allowed to watch on at the venue continued with this the second match seeing 1,000 in attendance but it did little to motivate the home side as quins notched three tries, the last through replacement scott steele as he finished off a long range movement after a danny cipriani pass had been intercepted. england cricketerjofra archer has reacted strongly to criticism from former west indies bowler michael holding that england have forgotten about the black lives matter movement.

holding spoke out last week after england players stopped taking the knee before matches. archer says the comments were "a bit harsh". i am pretty sure he doesn't know what's going on with everything that is going on, i think that it is harsh for them to say that. we have so much going on in the background we have not forgotten, no one has forgotten about that. and i think it is a bit hard and he might want to do some research. simon yates has won the eight—day tirreno—adriatico race in italy, finishing just 17 seconds ahead of geraint thomas. the final stage was a six mile time trial — thomas was fourth fastest, to move up from third place overall to second. yates was 22 seconds slower, but that was enough to win the leader's blue jersey. both riders are using this race to prepare for next month's giro d'italia, which will feature three time trials. it's been a great day in italy all round for british cycling. lizzy banks has won stage four of the giro rosa, while dutch rider

annemiek van vleuten finished third, to keep the leader's pinkjersey. the nine—day—long event is the biggest race in the women's cycling calendar. banks had been in a two—rider breakaway for more than half the stage, before succesfully attacking on the final climb into tivoli. it's her second stage win in two years at the giro. dominic thiem may have won the men's us open title on sunday but two of the world top three players in terms of winning grand slam titles weren't there in rafael nadal and roger federer — while novak djokovic was disqualified under contorversial circumstances when he hit a line judge with a ball. he's spoken about what happened and says he'll learn from his mistakes. of course, it's a bit of a shock to finish in that way, but it is what it is. you know, life goes on. hopefully, i can, you know, learn a big lesson from that and move on. you know, i did talk with the lady, laura, and checked on her after the match

to see if she was fine, she said she was fine. so, thank god no one was really hurt badly. and under way and underway in and under way in italy, for news on that and anything else, headed to the bbc sport website. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. we had the warmest september day on monday since 2016. for many, it was a case of blue sky and sunshine. it was a beautiful september afternoon. why am i showing you jersey? well, it wasjersey that had the top spot with 31 degrees. not far behind was charlwood in surrey. that was the highest temperature across mainland uk with london hot on its heels with 29 celsius. and the reason being this area of high pressure centred across europe that's allowing this southerly flow to drag in some warm airfrom africa. so, we are seeing temperatures unusually high for the time of year

but things will change subtly as we go into tuesday with a weak weather front beneath some showery outbreaks of rain to start the day. it's going to be a relatively mild start, however. double digits quite widely across the country but there will be some rain, not the heavy persistent rain that we have seen, and it will weaken as we go through the afternoon a little. more cloud into south—west england, maybe south wales and north—west england, can't rule out an odd isolated shower as we go into the afternoon but we keep, for many of us dry, settled, sunny conditions, light winds, and plenty of want to go with that. temperatures again quite widely mid to high 20s. we might see 30 degrees perhaps near or to east anglia through tuesday afternoon. things changing again though as we go through the middle part of the week. it stays largely dry, there's no significant rain in the forecast, but it will turn noticeably cooler. that is because high pressure will stay with us but it's going to be centred across the north of scotland and as the winds swing

round in a clockwise direction, that means more of a north or northeasterly over the next couple of days, and that means a noticeable difference to the feel of the weather in scotland, northern ireland, northern england, and in particular, along those north sea —facing coasts. so, that can drag in a few isolated showers and maybe even some mist and fog. here, temperatures 13—17 degrees. head further south, though, we just might see these temperatures peaking at 25 celsius. that's 77 fahrenheit. high pressure is not going too far away at all, another high moves in keeping things very quiet indeed but noticeably cooler as we go through the week. so, no significant rain in the forecast but temperatures perhaps falling down to where they should be for this time of year. take care.

this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. as the us west coast continues to suffer devastating wildfires, the rivals for the white house clash over the cause. when you have years of leaves, dried leaves on the ground, itjust sets it up. it's really a fuel for a fire. to give a climate arsonist four more years the white house, why would anyone be surprised if we have more of america ablaze? borisjohnson's conservatives win the first vote in their battle over the new uk internal market bill. a huge backlog of tests for coronavirus in the uk, as the first minister of scotland, expresses
