of scotland and across that north coast of northern ireland, but elsewhere, we keep some clear skies. temperatures will hold up, mind you. double figures quite widely, so not a cold start by any means. so, warm and sunny first thing on sunday morning, and as we go through the day, the temperatures are going toclimb. we will continue to see a few scattered showers moving their way into scotland, northern ireland, maybe into northwest england, some of those drifting further inland, but with lighter winds in comparison to yesterday, a little more sunshine coming through, it's certainly going to be a better day. the best of the drier settled weather certainly once again in the southeast, where we'll see top temperatures of 22 degrees. comes out a bit of a price, however, because if you are a hay fever sufferer, the grass pollen level now reaching its peak at this time of year and, as you can see, pollen levels are expected to continue to be very high indeed. as we move through the week ahead, however, high pressure is certainly going to dominate,
10:31 pm
but there's still the risk of a few showers from that frontal system that flows across the top of the high. but as the high pressure becomes established, we'll start to tap into some pretty warm air that we've seen recently across spain and portugal, so the temperatures are set to climb. and this could be the first widespread warmth we've seen this summer, temperatures in leeds getting up as high as 26 degrees.

hello, this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment with lucy beresford and joe twyman. first, the headlines. prince charles is reported to have described the government's rwanda asylum scheme as �*appalling'. one conservative mp says more understanding of the policy is required. he's entitled to his view, as is anyone else, but a number of the views that have been made about the matter seemed to be on the basis of a lack of information about what this programme has been like. police in brazil searching for a missing britishjournalist say they've found possible human remains in a river. the family of a shaun pinner, a british man sentenced to death for fighting russian forces, say he should be given all the rights of a prisoner
10:33 pm
of war, including full independent legal representation. thousands of protesters gather across the us to call for stricter gun laws, in the wake of last month's mass shooting at a school in texas. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster and psychotherapist lucy beresford, and joe twyman, who's the director of the polling organisation deltapoll. hello to you both. quick look through fun of those front pages. —— some of those. the observer says borisjohnson�*s post—brexit food strategy is met with rural fury as farmers and environmentalists claim it as a disaster for the countryside. the sunday telegraph's headline — �*tories at war over
10:34 pm
calls to cut taxes�* as the cost of living standards continues to rise. the sunday express tells prince charles to �*stay out of politics�* following a report he strongly criticised government plans to send some asylum—seekers to rwanda. royal officials insist the prince of wales �*remains politically neutral�*. and the sunday times pictures a student holding a sign calling for stricter gun laws in the united states, as thousands of protesters march in cities across america. so, a little flavour of our front pages. hello to you both. hi. we are pages. hello to you both. h . we are going to kick off with the sunday times. our first ourfirst story our first story can concerning comments made by prince charles. the sunda comments made by prince charles. tue: sunday times comments made by prince charles. tte: sunday times is reporting that cabinet ministers have fired some warning shots across the bows to
10:35 pm
warning shots across the bows to warn prince charles that he is perhaps waiting into more political territory, but this is not actually unusual. we know in the past, prince charles has had many views on architecture, on horticulture. he even failed to attend a state banquet when dignitaries from china came over and also made it clear to the papers that that was what he was doing, because he was against the regime. because he�*s made some comments about the government�*s rwanda migration policy, the members of the cabinet are actually deciding this is probably the moment which they have to remind him that when he becomes king, he�*s not going to be able to be as political. he should perhaps have a vow of silence. but it�*s interesting, he�*s been interviewed in the past and has
10:36 pm
confirmed that when he becomes sovereign, he is aware that you will have to stop speaking in this way, but that�*s the problem with speaking. sometimes your words are out there before you fully realise it, and therefore the word is out there, even though you�*ve taken a vow of silence. there�*s a bit of a stalemate at the moment and i�*m not quite sure who�*s going to blink first. qt quite sure who's going to blink first. . ., , ., first. of course, we have the commonwealth _ first. of course, we have the commonwealth heads of - first. of course, we have the i commonwealth heads of state first. of course, we have the _ commonwealth heads of state meeting take place —— taking place in rwanda. take place -- taking place in rwanda. . �* . take place -- taking place in rwanda. ., �* , ., ., ., rwanda. that's right, and what a difference a _ rwanda. that's right, and what a difference a week— rwanda. that's right, and what a difference a week makes. - rwanda. that's right, and what a difference a week makes. it - rwanda. that's right, and what a difference a week makes. it was| rwanda. that's right, and what a - difference a week makes. it was only last week_ difference a week makes. it was only last week that so much of the country— last week that so much of the country was celebrating the queen's jubilee. _ country was celebrating the queen's jubilee, and often, i was asked about_ jubilee, and often, i was asked about the — jubilee, and often, i was asked about the public opinion around sunpert— about the public opinion around support for the monarchy, and i talked _ support for the monarchy, and i talked about the fact that support for the _ talked about the fact that support for the monarchy as an institution ties very— for the monarchy as an institution ties very closely with support for queen— ties very closely with support for queen elizabeth as a monarch. once

10:39 pm
supporter of all things green. but what it seems to be happening right now, particularly because we do have food shortages looming over the horizon, notjust because what�*s been happening in ukraine, butjust because our own capacity to actually feed ourselves as a nation has been weakening over the last couple of decades. but actually, some policies that boris johnson�*s decades. but actually, some policies that borisjohnson�*s government has announced a couple months ago in terms of encouraging farmers to utilise a lot of their land for re—wilding, creating wetlands and actually increasing the biodiversity of a lot of the agricultural terrain of a lot of the agricultural terrain of the country. that has now appeared to have been scrapped, or may watered down. and there are arguments that this might have been because there is going to be one of
10:40 pm
the by—elections, one will be in an incredibly rural seat, and perhaps some of the farmers have put some pressure on the government to change this policy, which would mean that farmers wouldn�*t be earning as much money from their land as they could otherwise have done. therefore, may be they�*ve lent on the government to say please change this policy. it�*s only been announced in the last four to five months, but it�*s going to be ruinous for us. we can�*t afford to let that happen. ruinous for us. we can't afford to let that happen.— let that happen. joe, how is the cost of living — let that happen. joe, how is the cost of living trending _ let that happen. joe, how is the cost of living trending at - let that happen. joe, how is the cost of living trending at the - cost of living trending at the moment when you look at the polls? for months now, it has been the most important _ for months now, it has been the most important issue that people say is facing _ important issue that people say is facing the — important issue that people say is facing the country, but also crucially— facing the country, but also crucially for an electoral position, is most _ crucially for an electoral position, is most important facing peaceful and their— is most important facing peaceful and their families is most important facing peaceful and theirfamilies —— is most important facing peaceful and their families —— people. it was the first— and their families —— people. it was the first issue to move ahead of covid _ the first issue to move ahead of covid in — the first issue to move ahead of covid in the nhs at the top of the particular—

10:43 pm
and russia which cannot be sent around the world, and we are having to perhaps have more production rest on our own land. some of these proposals that were put for road last year have now been stripped to the bone —— put forward, which means that farmers are not going to be able to produce affordable food, and that ties in with the story you�*ve just been talking about, which is the cost of living crisis. everything is interconnected here, but with the by—election just around the corner, and it being such a rural and crucial by—election, the government simply can�*t afford to alienate. the mp that was... who had to resign, which is why we have a by—election coming up, was seen to
10:44 pm
be very much part of that rural agricultural community. so it will be very interesting to see what the actual result will be, notjust because of partygate or other scandals that seem to have such a residence nationally, but here is a real local by—election which could be being fought on really local issues such as farming and agricultural.— issues such as farming and auricultural. , ., ., ,, , ., agricultural. joe, take us through the sunday _ agricultural. joe, take us through the sunday telegraph. _ it looks like the government is divided over taxes.— it looks like the government is divided over taxes. yes, this is the sto that divided over taxes. yes, this is the story that has _ divided over taxes. yes, this is the story that has been _ divided over taxes. yes, this is the story that has been rumbling - divided over taxes. yes, this is the j story that has been rumbling really for a number story that has been rumbling really fora number of weeks story that has been rumbling really for a number of weeks but came to a head with _ for a number of weeks but came to a head with the no—confidence vote this monday. the conservative party has a _ this monday. the conservative party has a number of different wins all vying _ has a number of different wins all vying for— has a number of different wins all vying for the prime minister's attention— vying for the prime minister's attention and affections. there's a significant — attention and affections. there's a significant proportion of the conservative party, both in terms of but also _ conservative party, both in terms of but also in _ conservative party, both in terms of but also in terms of its voters, who
