but much cooler i think in scotland, where it is cloudy and wet into the afternoon. that wet weather does move away through the evening, and then we await the arrival of this next weather system coming in from the atlantic and that is going to draw up some warmer air ahead of it on a southerly breeze. many parts of the country will start dry on tuesday, with some sunshine around and then on that weather front we see this rain developing in western areas, especially during the afternoon when it could turn heavy, but it is with that sunshine and breeze it is going to feel warm. the warmest day of the week ahead, 26 degrees likely in the south—east of england, but given that heat we could trigger a few storms later in the day. most of the wet weather coming on that weather front there and that will push rain eastwards overnight. that should be moving away from most areas on wednesday, but again the devil is going to be in the detail, many places starting dry on wednesday, some sunshine and showers in the north—west of scotland moving away, thickening cloud arriving in the south—west and that will start to bring some rain in as well. that will push northwards and eastwards during the evening into the night and ahead that

developing rain, temperatures are in the low 20s in many places. that is the theme, really, through the week ahead. there is some warmth and some sunshine at times, but every now and again there is potentialfor some heavy and even thundery downpours. hello, this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. sweden's ruling social democrats have backed the country joining nato. it's after finland also confirmed it will apply for nato membership, in response to russia's invasion of ukraine. their membership in nato would increase our shared security,

demonstrate that nato�*s door is open, and that aggression does not pay. a british military intelligence assessment suggests russia may have lost a third of its ground forces since the start of its invasion of ukraine. president biden says america must do all it can to end hate—filled domestic terrorism, after ten people are killed in a shooting in buffalo. the uk government says it wouldn't be deterred from taking action over post—brexit trading arrangements in northern ireland to try to help restore power—sharing at stormont. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the author and journalist yasmin alibhai—brown, and kate maltby, columnist

for the i newspaper. we will be be —— be hearing from them both shortly. first, let's spin you through what the papers are saying. the financial times, which leads with finland and sweden announcing they will bid to join the nato military alliance. it says the move would cause a geopolitical shift in europe. meanwhile, the metro dedicates its front page to ukraine's eurovision success, quoting president zelensky, who insists the country will host next year's competition. and the belfast telegraph boasts an exclusive essay by borisjohnson, where he sets out his northern ireland policy in multiple areas — irish language, abortion, amnesty and lot on the protocol. the telegraph, too, covers the ongoing discussions over the northern ireland protocol — also featuring a picture of the margaret thatcher statue, which was egged after being

unveiled in grantham. the same story on the front of the i, which accuses the pm of triggering a trade war with th european union. the guardian leads with claims by police leaders that priti patel is attempting to give herself new powers without parliamentary approval. the mail splashes a picture of queen elizabeth attending the royal windsor horse show — the first of her appearances at jubilee celebration events. and smiling as well. very nice picture there of her majesty. let's bring in the guests. hello to you both. good to see you. even though it's on video conference, it's good to see you. we will start with the bell cat —— belfast telegraph. a lot of people reporting on this story, and i suppose in a nutshell, having read most of this as a myself, he's

basically dictating that the protocol does need to change no matter what the eu wants. yasmin, i'd love to get your thoughts first. i'm completely perturbed, confused, and if i was an irish citizen, i would be completely lost. reading this essay very quickly, this was a protocol that was agreed by his government, by him. he's now tearing it up. at a time where i feel... we'vejust it up. at a time where i feel... we've just heard it up. at a time where i feel... we'vejust heard sinn fein win more seats than they've won before. the situation is really delicate. the various parties have it yet come together to form a government, and he barges in, still believing he's some sort of church alien figure. kind of dictating terms thatjust is

so unhelpful —— churchillian. i5 so unhelpful —— churchillian. is that he just trying to do hisjob that he just trying to do his job and bring the stability to northern ireland and run northern ireland? they're starting a trade war. i’m they're starting a trade war. i'm sure he hepes — they're starting a trade war. i'm sure he hopes he can avoid that. kate, let's bring you and was the yasmin says he has no right to do this. ~ . ., , ., this. well, i agree with yasmin that there are some _ this. well, i agree with yasmin that there are some huge _ this. well, i agree with yasmin that there are some huge concerns - this. well, i agree with yasmin that l there are some huge concerns about there are some huge concerns about the attempt to tear up a protocol that borisjohnson himself agreed and sold _ that borisjohnson himself agreed and sold the rest of the country, but i _ and sold the rest of the country, but i don't — and sold the rest of the country, but i don't think he's being patronising or dictating. it is a very— patronising or dictating. it is a very carefully written act of diplomacy which is full of local references to belfast's history, its industries. — references to belfast's history, its industries, northern arliss kosher -- northern— industries, northern arliss kosher —— northern irish culture. i want to look— —— northern irish culture. i want to look at _ —— northern irish culture. i want to look at this— —— northern irish culture. i want to look at this telegraph headline, and

it's quite a good development. sweden has been neutralfor about 200 years. but there must be genuine fears now across the mainland of europe and further east. finland, i think, is coming in without any conditions. sweden is going to take it step—by—step. turkey is trying to profit, but it will not succeed. i think it's a good thing. —— to block it. think it's a good thing. -- to block it. ., ., ., ,. ,, it. kate, i want to discuss another sto with it. kate, i want to discuss another story with you- — it. kate, i want to discuss another story with you. office _ it. kate, i want to discuss another story with you. office meshes - it. kate, i want to discuss anotherj story with you. office meshes still to —— message fails to sink in. some companies have found it better and cheaper and more cost—effective to keep staff at home. but a lot of people are just reluctant, even to follow orders.— people are just reluctant, even to follow orders. yes, behaviour shifts slowl and follow orders. yes, behaviour shifts slowly and we've _ follow orders. yes, behaviour shifts slowly and we've all— follow orders. yes, behaviour shifts slowly and we've all got _ follow orders. yes, behaviour shifts slowly and we've all got used - follow orders. yes, behaviour shifts slowly and we've all got used to - slowly and we've all got used to working — slowly and we've all got used to working from home. i think it's also
