after three people were killed by a man wielding a knife at a church in nice. president macron has described the incident as an islamist terror attack. police have named the suspect brahim aouissaoui, a 21—year—old tunisian who reportedly crossed the mediterranean on to the italian island of lampedusa only last month. there are now only five days left until the us election. today's focus is florida where both candidates have been out on the campaign trail. donald trump won the state in 2016 by over 110,000 votes. as europe's covid—19 crisis intensifies, france is restoring a national lockdown to curb transmission. new restrictions have also been announced in sweden and in germany where chancellor merkel has warned of a long, hard winter.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the conservative commentator, tim montgomerie and the political correspondent, for the daily mirror, lizzy buchan. tomorrow's front pages, starting with. .. the times says sir kier starmer faces a battle for the soul of the labour party — warning anyone disputing the scale of the problem of anti—semitism "should be nowhere near the party." the daily mirror has a pledge from kier starmer of "zero tolerance" on anti—semitism. the guardian says labour have been plunged into "turmoil" after suspending keir starmer‘s predecessor, jeremy corbyn, in the wake of a damning report that found the party responsible for unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination.

according to the daily mail — labour is in open warfare afterjeremy corbyn‘s suspension. the ‘i' also highlights the report into anti—semitism — suggesting the party broke the law three times underjeremy corbyn‘s leadership. the daily telegraph reports thatjeremy corbyn has vowed to fight his suspension from labour — as his allies accused sir keir starmer of inciting a party war. the yorkshire post reports most of the county will be under the most stringent coronavirus measures from next week as west yorkshire enters tier 3 from monday. and a few days before the us election — the financial times reports that the us economy grew at its fastest post—war pace in the third quarter, bouncing back from coronavirus lockdowns and offering donald trump the opportunity to tout the recovery — in a late pitch to voters before tuesday's poll.

so, let's begin. great to see you both. tim, no, we'll great to see you both. tim, no, we‘ ll start great to see you both. tim, no, we'll start with lizzie. could you start us off with your paper, km starmer‘s zero tolerance. start us off with your paper, km starmer's zero tolerance. yes, so we have put the big political story of the uk on the front of the paper, it is this enormous row engulfing the party over the findings of the eh rc report into anti—semitism in labour. 0bviously, report into anti—semitism in labour. obviously, we have addressed the fa ct obviously, we have addressed the fact that this is keir starmer's moment of reckoning, really, where he is drawing this huge line in the sand over anti—semitism. he has filed that they will be no tolerance for it in the party, and that has

included a suspension of the former labour leaderjeremy corbyn in a sort of highly dramatic and unexpected move today. 0bviously, this is dominating a lot of the coverage of the papers. in our coverage, we have drawn attention to the fact that this is keir starmer really saying that the party is under new leadership and prepared to be sort of a very, very strong in his actions, and you can see the consequences of that have been there is now a huge crisis engulfing the party and lots of sort of different reactions to mist and corbyn‘s suspension. ultimately, tim, this comes down to discipline, doesn't it? certainly discipline is a very big factor, and i think because keir starmer is currently making some

progress in the opinion polls, largely because of the government's difficulties, he will be able to maintaina difficulties, he will be able to maintain a measure of discipline if he was going backwards in the opinion polls, i think people would be more per rebellious towards him. —— would be more rebellious. crisis isa —— would be more rebellious. crisis is a word we as journalists use perhaps too much about this time it really is a crisis for labour. this is not, after all, are low —— an ordinary labour party leader. many of the mps that sits behind keir starmer in the house of commons owe their political being, really, to jeremy corbyn. jeremy corbyn wasn't successful at winning the election but he was successful of changing the nature and complexion of the labour party. lots of the labour mps are corbyn mps, and a same is true of the rank—and—file of the labour party, as well, that huge increase

in membership that just party, as well, that huge increase in membership thatjust put keir starmer as corbyn's successor, they join labour because of corbyn. so, taking jeremy corbyn on in this way, it is not the first thing that keir starmer has done to enrage the left. it isa starmer has done to enrage the left. it is a very brave thing to do. i say that as a conservative and i say so say that as a conservative and i say so admiringly but this is only the first day of a drama that could be playing out in british political life for many months to come. just before we move on to our next paper, lizzie, did he have any other choice but to suspend him? because it does have a legal obligation here, doesn't it? yes, the leg -- the labour party has an obligation to come up with an action plan to deal with the kind of criticisms in the report. i mean, he didn't have to suspend jeremy corbyn. i think his sort of swift action on that

surprised a lot of people. one of the papers, i think it is the guardian, hasa the papers, i think it is the guardian, has a great detail that mr corbyn was so unprepared for it that he was actually informed about it by a cameraman whilst filming a clip was to give in his reaction to the report. some of the people i spoke to today suggested that mr starmer and corbyn had had a conversation wednesday night wear, you know, they had sorted said they had not been oui’ had sorted said they had not been our intention to take action and people around keir starmer said that he wasn't set on making this decision, but i think mr corbyn the bank statement after the eh rc report came out when he sort of made the statement that the scale of anti—semitism in the party had been dramatically overstated, i think that left the labour leader in a really difficult position and he was getting a lot of questions from

journalists about whether he was going to sackjeremy corbyn. the concept were seizing on this as a legitimate attack on labour and so he probably felt his hand was forced. you mention the guardian. let's ta ke forced. you mention the guardian. let's take our views to the front page of the guardian, labour plunged into crisis after corbyn suspended. tim, you don't have to ask about how the optics are looking and playing out in the public eye, with len mccluskey saying this is creating chaos in the party, whatjeremy corbyn has done has not helped. no, it hasn't, and these are definitely going to be difficult, choppy times for labour. but jeremy corbyn himself, he did very well on the 2017 general election against gerrit sammy, everyone was surprised at that. and he did it because even though he had nearly all of the labour party in parliament, and tyler was trying to get rid of him.

i thinkjeremy corbyn resonated because people like the maverick that he presented himself at that time, and keirstarmer that he presented himself at that time, and keir starmer doesn't actually have to maintain unity in the labour party over the next few months or get all the unions behind him because whether we like it or not, our politics is increasingly presidential. and a voters like keir starmer, if through this difficult process, they begin to see him as someone process, they begin to see him as someone who can take tough decisions, has steel in his spine, it may well be that he will be much more able to deal with resignations, potentially from corbyn shadow ministers and other folk, and much like neil kinnock really connected with the public and 30 or so years ago, in the late 1980s when he took on the militant tendency extreme

wing in his party, this really could be the making of keir starmer, and it isa be the making of keir starmer, and it is a big race, it could all go wrong but if he looks like a leader, he can put up with short—term turmoil. —— and it is a big risk. before we move on, how fractured do you think the relationship between labour and the situation community is? what are the need to bring that together? i think the relationship had been very fraught before. the fa ct had been very fraught before. the fact that keir starmer had made it his first priority to apologise to the jewish community, and his first priority to apologise to thejewish community, and i think his actions over the last six months, he has attempted to reach out and they have been greeted favourably, and i think today, his response to the report sort of

saying that he would accept all of the recommendations in full, and then his very swift and brutal suspension ofjeremy corbyn will show a lot of people i think in the jewish community that he means business on this. let's turn to the front page of the times. it's tragic, awful story that we have seen and felt today, my good tried to be had victims in french attacks, this is what happened in nice. this isa this is what happened in nice. this is a story, it is difficult really to know where to start. obviously, our thoughts are with the people who have lost loved ones, coming so soon after the murder of the teacher in france. but this is a bigger issue for global politics. there has been a really unattractive row between

the turkish president, who represents a largely muslim country, saying that emmanuel macron, the president of france, is trying to whip up hatred against muslims, and i don't think president —— emmanuel macron is trying to do that at all, he has been defending france's free speech laws, but he certainly has not been making anti—muslim remarks. i'm afraid that what the turkish president is doing is falling absolutely into what the bombers of muslim origin, who died represent the majority of people of their faith, are trying to do, in attacking a church, a place of sanctuary for so many people, a place of safety. these muslim extremists are trying to whip up a clash of civilisations, and it is a terrible shame, on top of the heartache of those who have lost loved ones, for world leaders at the

kind of erdogan in turkey to be behaving like this. it does make you wonder, how do you stop this cycle, then? quite. it is a hugely challenging situation, globally, to deal with these kinds of problems. and in france, obviously, that terror alert is now the highest level it has been. there were several other attacks today as well. there was one in avignon, and then there was an attack on a french consulate guard in saudi arabia. there is a kind of feeling that, you know, there has been a number of incidents, it is notjust a one—off, and obviously, it has these echoes of 2015, 16, when they were a number of 2015, 16, when they were a number of attacks in france as well. it is obviously a challenging path for the french government to navigate because, obviously, they hold that kind of secular nature of that government and the way that religion

is kind of dealt with in france as very important. but, obviously, there are these huge tensions with turkey and as tim said it is not an easy path to tread, by any means. emmanuel macron has been very robust on this but it is clearly not easy to deal with. on this but it is clearly not easy to dealwith. 0k, tim, back to the daily telegraph, and they are a p pa re ntly daily telegraph, and they are apparently loopholes that some people may employ to avoid lockdown restrictions. absolutely, and i think there has been a lot of debate about the clarity of the rules that we all operate under, but some of it might also be a technological issue. lots of use of this programme will have downloaded the nhs at to their phones, and there is a suggestion

that revisions to that app, people regularly update their phones and this is part of that process, might trigger more and faster alerts, that you might have been in contact with people who have had covid. that is fine if we are confident that the app fine if we are confident that the app is accurate and the technology behind the app is accurate, people will be happy to self—isolate a bit —— a bit more quickly than they would have done previously. but lots of people doubt the quality of the technology, there have been concerns about the whole of the tracking testing system and it is not clear to me whether enough people to make it work will continue to follow the advice that the government are giving when isolating, following alerts you might get on your phone. lizzie, loopholes to avoid lockdown, are you fully aware of the

restrictions? do you know what you can and can't do? i mean, i do, because it is my full—time job to understand these things but it is not easy for everyone else. i find, often, people will ask me questions about what they can and can't do because it is so complicated. the telegraph story is, you know, a very enterprising guy has found a way to register his family as a business so that he can see them and avoid the rule of six restrictions, which obviously is very clever and quite funny but it is quite a serious point about the fact that, you know, there are huge problems with compliance of the government rules, not only because they are so complicated but also they are changing so quickly and also the public are also exhausted and demoralised by a lot of these things as well. so, you know, this point

about this man who has found a way to get around the rules, it shows that there are a number of loopholes and guidance. we saw some stories earlier this week about business lunches and about how is actually exempt from the rules in london where the tier 2 rules mean you cannot meet another household inside. so, this guidance, the tier system was developed to avoid a national lockdown but actually it has created in many places a confusion mishmash of restrictions that are quite difficult for people to remember. i want to stick on the rules subject, front page of the daily telegraph again, this is about impartiality at the bbc. ten. my goodness, this is always a difficult subject and lots of people, including me, have often thought of sad that we worry about the independence of certain bbc programmes, andl independence of certain bbc programmes, and i think twitter has

beena programmes, and i think twitter has been a useful tool, really, for people like me who sometimes are critics of the corporation because whereas output on a programme like this is carefully monitored by producers, and is made to ensure it sticks to the bbc guidelines, people of course can tweet within seconds, andl of course can tweet within seconds, and i think they have been cases where prominent bbc employees, not so muchjournalist but certainly presenters, had said controversial things and at a time when the bbc is —— busy's licence fee is up for debate, that is not a headache that the bbc top brass need. we will pay the bbc top brass need. we will pay the licence fee as a compulsory levy for the bbc so i think controlling the twitter output of bbc staff a little more tightly is a fair thing to do, as a thank you from staff to those licence fee payers. lizzie.

this is quite interesting, it is of the new director—general tim davie's new regime, and i think as tim pointed out, the bbc has been under quite a lot of criticism from, particularly, right wing newspapers and also the government, boris johnson number ten are known be critical of what they consider to be non—partial reporting, vertically... it's also what the corbyn wing of the labour party say as well. also true, you beat me to it! i was about to say, it is notjust one side. i meant to say that on brexit but as tim rightly says, lots of supporters ofjeremy corbyn were also critical ofjeremy corbyn were also critical of the bbc and the reporting around jeremy corbyn and his readership,

but i think it is the degree interesting in terms of the government and kind of how the government and kind of how the government hopes to kind of progress with the review of the licence fee and that sort of thing, they are looking at whether to change, to decriminalise it, and so this all comes into that broader picture of scrutiny of the bbc from the outside. 0k, lucy and tim, it has been a pleasure, thank you very much for your thoughts this evening. that is it for the papers here on bbc news right now. i'll be back at midnight with all the top stories of the day. until then, midnight with all the top stories of the day. untilthen, here's midnight with all the top stories of the day. until then, here's the sport.

the only goal of the game came in the first half of the game between antwerp and tottenham. i hope everyone there was a better evening for the red half of north london after arsenal beat dundalk.

leicester city also beat ak athens. jamie vardy was among the scorers. celtic drew a dual with lille. ranges beat the polish team. 13 barbarians will face a disciplinary hearing for breach of coronavirus regulations. the former english captain apologised for the breach, the rfu has declined to name the players who have been charged. jj williams has been hailed as one of the greatest wings to play for wales, and british and irish and is by the welsh rugby union following his death at the age of 72. he

scored 12 tries in 30 tests. thomas davitt reflects on his career. searing pace, formidable he was the rug bys star i nsta ntly searing pace, formidable he was the rugbys star instantly recognisable by his initials alone. with two players called john williams on the side, he becamejj, the otherjpl. he's got 12 tries in 30 tests but in the early days, it wasn't all about by. the early days, it wasn't all about rugby. at college, the olympic champion lindley was a persuasive presence. he tried to convince jj williams lay with athletics a 1970, he competed at the commonwealth games. but jj sensed he competed at the commonwealth games. butjj sensed he he competed at the commonwealth games. but jj sensed he would he competed at the commonwealth games. butjj sensed he would be world class on the track. rugby,

though, was different. he started at bridgend and after less than a year at kommetjie, he won his first international cap. —— llanelli. his pace propelled him into the british and irish lions squad and in 1974, he headed to south africa where he had a starring role in the most successful tour ever. the vast grounds asserted that runners, the fast men at the team and obviously my speed out there came in very handy. after playing, the commentary box, where he often managed a memorable line. no messing, he put it straight back on his jaw. he punched him first. the penalty should have gone to wales. his punditry sometimes critical, always concise. unfortunately they had no arches for the french. or so they should. they get paid enough. it was

skill and pace and strength. in later life, he was recognised for his achievements on the pitch, and for his work at a charity representing former international players. he rose to the top in a golden eire, a respected figure in by. golden eire, a respected figure in rugby. 0ne golden eire, a respected figure in rugby. one of the greats. the wales captain will break the record for most test match appearances in the six nations on saturday. a certain way will make his 149 40 —— appearance. finn russell, meanwhile, will start for scotland and his first six nations appearance of the year after falling out with a head coachin year after falling out with a head coach in january. ben youngs will become a second enrichment to when a hunt when he plays against italy. jason leonard

has been used rather too much this month, it will be used again before the month is done. even into the first part of november, more rain on the way. strong winds, looking quite stormy on saturday. so, a chance of further flooding and disruption as a result. and now this is friday's big picture. this weather front producing some more rain, particularly into wales to start the day. scotland and northern ireland, though, behind it will see some sunshine. a mild start to the day for many of us. for scotland and northern ireland, a few showers around to begin with. they will tend to clear. we'll get more in the way of sunshine arriving here. just a few showers towards north west scotland into the afternoon. northern england brightening up as well, and the early heavy rain in wales gradually easing. but for south east wales, the midlands, east anglia, southern england, it will stay cloudy. there will be further outbreaks of rain at times, although actually here is where we get to see the higher temperatures. still quite windy. not as windy as it was on thursday. but overnight and into saturday, this is where the winds start to pick up once again. and we'll see more rain pushing north across the uk.

ahead of its arrival in scotland, it will be quite chilly. and it does look quite stormy, then, as the weekend begins. a deep area of low pressure to the north—west of the uk, so winds picking up across all areas. gales or severe gales are possible. and another band of rain sweeping east across the uk. some of this rain will be heavy, perhaps including some torrential bursts as well and really quite squally winds as it moves on through. behind it, though, you get to see the sunshine and a few showers. strong southerly winds, a few gusts here, but widely towards the north and west of the uk — 60 mph. maybe a bit more, elsewhere 50 mph. again, maybe a bit more, particularly when the heavy rain moves on through. it will be a mild start to the weekend for what it's worth. it's still looking windy on sunday, particularly across the north west of scotland. an early spell of rain clearing east, then brightening up to a few showers. then with uncertain timing, the arrival of some more rain pushing in from the west later in the day especially

into sunday night. there are some met office weather warnings out. do get across those online for what that means for where you are. and after a windy and at times wet start to next week and of course early november, after that, something quieter, drier and calmer.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm lukwesa burak. gunfire. france raises its terror alert to its highest level after three people are killed in a knife attack at a church in nice. a 21—year—old tunisian man is held on suspicion of the killings. president macron visits the scene of the attack and calls it an act of islamist terrorism. he says it's time for people to end their divisions. translation: i ask for unity from everyone. that is the message that i wanted to express here in nice today. europe scrambes to deal with a surge in
