getting the badger genome sequence is really important, because we can see how badgers adapt to diseases, how they adapt to their environment, and how they interact with other species in their ecosystem. back onshore in plymouth, the rock pools are full of surprises. but their genetic code could also help us to find nature inspired medicines or materials. this immense endeavour could change our understanding of the diversity of life. rebecca morelle, bbc news, plymouth. time for a look at the weather. here's matt taylor. ona on a monday, may be a look ahead to the week that is coming up? so far this summer it has been a rather cool start, but things are about to change. a first quick hit
10:31 pm
of summer heat is on its way. at the moment across parts of spain and portugal, it will build into southern france over the next few days. temperatures widely above 1a degrees. towards the end of the week, the heat shoots its way northwards. it will be mainly for england and wales, widely high 20s and low 30s as we head towards friday. scotland and northern ireland don't quite get into the heat. here, a bit more cloud, much like we saw in the west of scotland today. rather grey skies, the chance of some rain. it is that cloud and i do mean some of the highest temperatures will be found here. a damn start tomorrow, further south, clearer conditions. in rural parts, it could get down to four five celsius. starting across the north, the rain comes and goes across parts of northern and western scotland throughout the day. northern ireland, southern scotland, the odd passing shower but most of you will stay dry with sunny spells. the southern half of the uk, other than north wales, most will stay dry. a bit of cloud first then, that breaks up bit of cloud first then, that breaks up across southern areas. a blue sky
10:32 pm
afternoon. very high pollen levels, the highest of the temperatures widely around 20 or 25 degrees. most places closer to where they should be forjune, rather cool in the north—west of scotland. a blustery day and blustery evening to come. the rain eases off and pushes back in as we go into wednesday. further rain at times, as we will see later on in the west of northern ireland. we could see the odd isolated shower in southern scotland and northern england on wednesday. most will have a dry, sunny day and getting hotter. 27 degrees. heat and humidity builds, for the rest of the week. of course, it is a uk story, heat and humidity, it all goes by the time we hit that we can. if you don't like heat and humidity, it is only a short burst. that is bbc news at ten from our new home, on monday the 13th ofjune. don't forget, there is more analysis of the main stories on newsnight. there is kirsty, going on air as we
10:33 pm
speak on bbc two. all of our colleagues in the nations and regions are standing by right now with the news where you are. stay with the news where you are. stay with us. thank you for watching and good night. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sonia sodha, who's the chief leader writer at the observer, and olivia utley, the assistant comment editor for the daily telegraph. tomorrow's front pages, let's get stuck in. the metro reports on the first flight taking asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda. it's due to take place on tuesday after another legal challenge to the government's policy was rejected.
10:34 pm
but leaders of the church of england have condemned the plans, with a letter signed by all 25 bishops who sit in the house of lords, saying it "shames britain". the other big story leading the guardian — the paper reporting that the eu is ready to launch legal action against the uk, after ministers published new legislation which would scrap parts of the northern ireland protocol which governs post—brexit trade. that threat also in the financial times, which says borisjohnson has "defied a chorus of criticism" over the plans. and there'll be no cuts to tax before inflation is brought under control, according to the telegraph. the paper claims downing street and the treasury are worried prices could rise further if taxes are lowered to help the soaring cost of living. we will get to this picture at the end of this review, but we will start with the metro newspaper, looking at rwanda. the metro's headline as we had early in the
10:35 pm
introduction there, "cleared for take—off," the first plane for rwanda has been cleared byjudges in a victory for the home secretary. but it may have hardly anybody on board, the latest information that we have from our correspondence researching this story is that it might only have 8—10 people aboard the flight on up plane they can carry 200. your thoughts? i think lots of voters _ carry 200. your thoughts? i think lots of voters will _ carry 200. your thoughts? i think lots of voters will be _ carry 200. your thoughts? i think lots of voters will be questioning | lots of voters will be questioning whether this is good value for money. but what's been going on here in recent days is that charities that represent the interests of people fleeing conflict, war, torture have put in legal challenges torture have put in legal challenges to the government's new policy which is been widely condemned, including by prince charles, all the archbishops who sit on the house of lords, and it's been condemned because it's considered to be
10:36 pm
extremely inhumane. these are asylum—seekers who are coming to the uk seeking refuge — the correct way to deal with it is assess their claims, assess whether they have merit and, if they do, grant them asylum in the uk, not forcibly deport them to rwanda. many people think that this contravenes the refugee convention that britain is the leading signatory of in the 19505 the leading signatory of in the 1950s and international law. but the situation we're in now, i think it's very important to state that even though this flight will be going ahead potentially albeit with far fewer people because lawyers have successfully challenged some of these people should not be on this plane, people for example who faced torture in iran. so there have been successful challenges but it looks like the flight may go ahead — that is not a ruling from the high court but the court of appeal, the overall policy is lawful. that will happen in a month's time, and if the court
10:37 pm
rules that the policy is unlawful and against international law, we could see people who've been deported to rwanda, a country not known for respecting human rights, we may see people returned. but i think the most important thing is when you've got some people who got letters that are being deported to rwanda, it is the level of stress this puts on people who have been through some really terrible things by all accounts. it's not british, it's not the way to treat people seeking refuge.— it's not the way to treat people seeking refuge. let's carry on the conversation and _ seeking refuge. let's carry on the conversation and bring _ seeking refuge. let's carry on the conversation and bring on - seeking refuge. let's carry on the conversation and bring on the - seeking refuge. let's carry on the l conversation and bring on the front page of the online newspaper, which leads with that letter by all the serving anglican bishops and archbishops in the house of lords. that letter, olivia, has been read by the archbishop of canterbury.

it's very interesting, this intervention by the bishops here, because — intervention by the bishops here, because the other side of this that we haven't— because the other side of this that we haven't mentioned but our government would say is that the policy— government would say is that the policy as— government would say is that the policy as it — government would say is that the policy as it stands, or the lack of policy— policy as it stands, or the lack of policy as— policy as it stands, or the lack of policy as it — policy as it stands, or the lack of policy as it stands, or the lack of policy as it stands, will allow these — policy as it stands, will allow these boats to come over and stand by as— these boats to come over and stand by as very— these boats to come over and stand by as very desperate people get into serious _ by as very desperate people get into serious trouble on those choppy waters — serious trouble on those choppy waters between britain and france isn't particularly humane either, allowing — isn't particularly humane either, allowing people traffickers to get quite _ allowing people traffickers to get quite a _ allowing people traffickers to get quite a bit of money out of the most desperale _ quite a bit of money out of the most desperate people in the world. so the government would argue something needed _ the government would argue something needed to— the government would argue something needed to be done, and this is one option— needed to be done, and this is one option for— needed to be done, and this is one option for doing something and perhaps— option for doing something and perhaps the government could, over time, _ perhaps the government could, over time, build — perhaps the government could, over time, build a strong relationship with rwanda, which doesn't have a fantastic— with rwanda, which doesn't have a fantastic history of human rights, but is _ fantastic history of human rights, but is moving in the right directions and, in some ways, is a

10:42 pm
which is the good friday agreement which is the good friday agreement which allows people in northern ireland to feel they are irish or british as they so wish — it is very much predicated on there being no border checks between island democrats ireland and northern ireland and the rest of uk. there was predicated on the uk's membership in the single market and the customs union. many thought the northern ireland protocol was not something the british government should be carving out, but it did and now it is an international agreement and the uk is threatening to unilaterally break it, which is pretty terrible for the uk's gravitation internationally, it doesn't say much for what the government thinks about the level of priority it attaches to the situation in northern ireland, which is very fragile, power—sharing is being refused to happen by the dup. this is an entirely predictable outcome from the government's
10:43 pm
signing on to this. and we've now got a situation where the eu are saying that they will take the uk to court if it breaks the terms of the agreement it signed, which i think is a troubling escalation when we should be —— one we should be looking to avoid. should be -- one we should be looking to avoid.— should be -- one we should be looking to avoid. let's take to the financial times's _ looking to avoid. let's take to the financial times's front _ looking to avoid. let's take to the financial times's front page, - looking to avoid. let's take to the | financial times's front page, which picks up on the point you raised there, "brussels threatens legal action on bill to tear up northern ireland protocol." how do you see the story looking at those two headlines?— the story looking at those two headlines? . ., , , headlines? again, presenting the other side. _ headlines? again, presenting the other side, the _ headlines? again, presenting the other side, the northern - headlines? again, presenting the other side, the northern ireland. other side, the northern ireland protocol— other side, the northern ireland protocol hasn't been great for stability— protocol hasn't been great for stability and northern ireland, there's— stability and northern ireland, there's the issue of the good friday agreement but there are plenty of unionists — agreement but there are plenty of unionists who feel that the good friday— unionists who feel that the good friday agreement is predicated on the principle of consent and the northern— the principle of consent and the northern ireland protocol completely undermines that, because unionists don't _ undermines that, because unionists don't get _
