10:40 pm
hello, there. northerly winds will make it feel rather cool for the time of year during sunday, particularly where we have areas of cloud and some showers. equally, there will be some spells of sunshine. but the day will start with showers in some places, particularly for northern and eastern scotland, eastern england, and there will be some heavier showers drifting through wales, the midlands, down towards the south—west of england, where there could be the odd flash of lightning, the odd rumble of thunder. there will be some sunny spells, but i think north—east scotland will stay rather cloudy, a little bit damp at times and breezy. just 9—11 degrees here. more generally, 13—16. that's a little disappointing for the time of year. as we head through sunday night into the early hours of monday, we will bring areas of cloud down from the north with some showers. clear spells further south. and it will be quite a chilly night, widely down into single digits. maybe one or two spots down to three or four degrees. temperatures will climb a little bit as we head through the coming week. there will be some rain at times but not all the time.
10:41 pm
some spells of sunshine as well. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster and psychotherapist lucy beresford — and ali miraj who's a columnist at the article. lovely to see you both this evening. not many papers are in, possibly due to that match, the champions league final. but let us take a quick look through what we do have. the observer leads with a warning from senior tories that borisjohnson is leading the party into an "identity crisis" after partygate and u—turns over tax policy. whilst the sunday telegraph says the prime minister has pledged to "name and shame" petrol stations who fail to pass on the government's
10:42 pm
5p—a—litre cut to fuel duty. also on the sunday telegraph's front page, driving tests — with a warning that learner drivers could face waiting until 2023 to book tests, due a backlog created by the pandemic. and could pounds and ounces be back? the paper says the government will publish proposals this year to repeal eu laws to require metric measurements to be used for trade. and the finishing touches for the jubilee around the front of the observer, as the last preparations are made for trooping the colour this thursday, which marks the beginning of the queen's jubilee celebration. like i said, not many papers in at the moment. i think many of them waiting for that final whistle to be blown in paris. but great to have you here this evening. lucy, you are going to kick us off. front page of the observer, we are beginning with the lead story. johnson is trashing tory identity, a
