into the north sea and the majority of the rain will then be on this weather front across northern scotland. that continues tomorrow so quite a soaking in some areas. for many of us, the cloud remains, it's still quite muggy so it will be another mild night and a grey and misty start. but, hopefully, any patches of fog will clear fairly readily, there will be some sunshine available, particularly for england and wales, but brighterfor the east of northern ireland. a brisker wind, making it feel fresher and a real soaking, as i have talked about, for northern scotland but temperatures will be a little down for most on those of recent days, as they will on sunday, by which day, that northerly wind is pushing that weakening weather front from scotland across eastern england. and this is the fly in the ointment for the weekend — how far east and north it brings that wetter weather. so, as ever, we'll keep you posted.

hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. joining me tonight are jessica elgot, the deputy political editor at the guardian, and olivia utley, the telegraph's assistant comment editor. welcome to you both, nice to see you. the front pages, then? let's start with the times — it says borisjohnson has outlined his vision for another decade in power, which would see him beating margaret thatcher's time in number ten. the telegraph carries a warning from ministers, that council tax bills may have to rise next year, to pay for social care. according to the i, the prime minister is set to tell the public they could face tougher covid restrictions this autumn. the sun reports that lawyers for virginia giuffre — the woman who has accused

prince andrew of sexual abuse — claim they have successfully served him with legal papers. the same story makes the front page of the daily mail. but the newspaper also carries a picture of 18—year—old emma raducanu, who has reached the final of the us open. and the express says action is under way to speed up the recruitment of truckers, in order to prevent empty shelves at christmas. so let's begin with the daily mail. "andrew served with us sex case papers." a bizarre and mouse at the duke's home in windsor, olivia, and i've read the affidavit from the deponent who tried to serve these papers, and it certainly wasn't easy — none of the staff were going to help him do that. ho.

- none of the staff were going to help him do that.— - none of the staff were going to help him do that. no, it's a bizarre sto , help him do that. no, it's a bizarre story. it sounds — help him do that. no, it's a bizarre story, it sounds like _ help him do that. no, it's a bizarre story, it sounds like it's _ help him do that. no, it's a bizarre story, it sounds like it's from - help him do that. no, it's a bizarre story, it sounds like it's from a - story, it sounds like it's from a time before mobile phones, like the beginning of a 19505 film. you've got him turning up at the house at windsor and trying to serve papers, being passed on to a man who says he has to speak to the head of security, then he goes back and speaks to the head of security, who says he can leave it with a police man. but now the daily mail it suggests prince andrew's team are saying the papers were not served properly, leaving them with the police man wasn't good enough. so this seems to be the way that prince andrew is hoping to evade this hearing. there's also the suggestion that he might want to get off on a technicality — unfortunately we can't see inside the paper yet. in can't see inside the paper yet. in the end, it looks like one of the many police officers on duty at one of the lodges in windsor great parker said, of the lodges in windsor great parkersaid, "yeah, ok, give me the papers and i'll make sure they get there." but it was a bit of a wing and a prayerfor the person there." but it was a bit of a wing and a prayer for the person trying to deliver them. the

"facemasks will be back if virus cases surge in the autumn." we've already heard nicola sturgeon saying it would be foolish for any leader to say that there won't have to be some sort of retrograde steps taken because as we've seen, there's still tens of thousands of new cases emerging every day, and still far too many people dying. yes. emerging every day, and still far too many people dying. yes, and cases are really _ too many people dying. yes, and cases are really starting - too many people dying. yes, and cases are really starting to - too many people dying. yes, and cases are really starting to move | cases are really starting to move now, hospitalisations are really starting to move, and we haven't really seen the full effect of schools reopening on case numbers

seats where you might see warehouses worth a lot of money, and lots of the fields nearby, new houses built in order to meet these targets. one of the places that really could been affected by this, or at least people perceived it to be, where the liberal democrats overturned a huge tory majority with a by election shock — that spooked a lot of tories, there's a real opposition in the tory party, we've been hearing these rumours for many months that they are going to significant lee water it down, those mandatory house—building targets will go into zonal system will be watered down, it won't be automatic any more. and i think this is to train cool down some tensions in the party and some nerves amongst tory voters. luntimely nerves amongst tory voters. when eo - le nerves amongst tory voters. when people say — nerves amongst tory voters. when people say their — nerves amongst tory voters. when people say their vote _ nerves amongst tory voters. when people say their vote doesn't - nerves amongst tory voters. when people say their vote doesn't count, here they're not even having to cast

differences in the way the taliban say they will operate now, and this is how they operated then. but i think the fact that afghanistan has become a place where certain groups were tolerated, if not harboured, it was clearly one of the reasons why the us felt that the invasion was warranted. i think what we're seeing now is a kind of retreat, a total retreat from that frame of mind, that american frame of mind now. start abide donald trump, followed byjoe biden, to incredibly different politicians, who feel that america was at time of the world polices over — it might be welcomed elsewhere, and we are seeing a real shift in global power, global
