pushing southwards, is a cold front pushing southwards, a band of cloud with it into the morning and a muggy start in the south. along that band of cloud on that front, we will see some outbreaks of rain developing through the day, quite soggy in parts of wales, the midlands and east anglia. to the north and west about, sunny spells with the odd show in scotland and northern ireland, temperatures for tomorrow down on today 16 in birmingham tomorrow whereas today we were in the 30s. still the wedge of red in the south—east, the heat clinging on for one more day and where we have that heat in the south—east corner, we could see some thunderstorms getting going into saturday evening. and in the early hours of sunday, more showers and storms close to the south—west of england and the channel islands. this is the set up for sunday, some showers and storms rumbling around in the english channel, some pushing into southern england but for most, sunday is not bad, spells of sunshine, the odd shower but northerly winds cutting off that supply of heat from the continent.
10:31 pm
temperatures 14—20 , it will feel much fresher. have a good weekend. not disappointed with that! thank you. and that's bbc news at ten on friday the 17th ofjuly. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight with mark urban which is just getting underway on bbc two. the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. but from the ten team, it's goodnight. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rosamund urwin, who's the media editor at the sunday times, and the writer and broadcaster mihir bose.
10:32 pm
he was for a long time to be bc�*s sports editor. i hope you are nice and cool and refreshed or you are after the sweltering temperatures in the south of england over the last few hours. the times says the treasury has warned employers must be careful about giving big pay rises this year as it could help fuel increases in inflation. the telegraph also leads on the treasury's worries on wage rises as thousands of rail workers prepare to walk out on strike this week over a pay dispute. the i also leads with the economy, saying voters are keen for the government to do more on the cost of living, but the chancellor fears extra support could help drive inflation up. and the ft says rising rates have hit global markets as investors worry about inflation and a slow recovery from the pandemic causing prolonged economic problems. town halls are facing a £1.7 billion budget hole, according to the guardian, as rising inflation and energy costs mean councils are having cut back. summer holiday travel chaos is on the front of express after the business minister, paul scully, suggested airport staff could work overtime to help get
10:33 pm
more flights in the air. the daily star says celebrations for the queen's platinum jubilee helped covid cases to rise 43% this week. it's thought one in 45 of us currently has the virus. so, let's begin. one quick question about a weekend. do papers still sell on both saturdays and sundays or has there been a shift in what people read? because i get the impression that when i used to do the papers first in english readers back in the 19905, in english readers back in the 1990s, sunday papers had all the big exclusives and now they seem to be a lot more big stories on saturdays and may be fewer on sundays. i like that ou and may be fewer on sundays. i like that you are — and may be fewer on sundays. i like that you are asking _ and may be fewer on sundays. i i «e that you are asking the media and may be fewer on sundays. i i fie that you are asking the media editor of the sunday times this. it is very much in my interest to say that sunday is the day that everybody reads the papers. but what i would say and i think it's true there are a lot of saturday papers that throw
10:34 pm
down the gauntlet, but i think the sunday papers always rise to the occasion. i think the difference, one of the differences obviously is that some papers coming of the sunday times and the times, but they emerged to a seven—day corporation so you don't have separate entities and the telegraph is a one example of that where they are a seven—day operation. their paper would be there saturday paper but they might not say that but internally it feels a big put a big push behind that. clearly sunday is the day everyone wants to read the newspapers. fir in wants to read the newspapers. or in this heat that _ wants to read the newspapers. or in this heat that went _ wants to read the newspapers. or in this heat that went over _ wants to read the newspapers. or in this heat that went over their face and not off the guard if they are lucky enough to have one. malia; and not off the guard if they are lucky enough to have one. many uses for newspapers _ lucky enough to have one. many uses for newspapers and _ lucky enough to have one. many uses for newspapers and many _ lucky enough to have one. many uses for newspapers and many reasons - lucky enough to have one. many uses for newspapers and many reasons to | for newspapers and many reasons to buy them. for newspapers and many reasons to bu them. ~ :, for newspapers and many reasons to bu them. ~ . ., , , buy them. what about sports coverage? — buy them. what about sports coverage? is _ buy them. what about sports coverage? is that _ buy them. what about sports coverage? is that fairly - buy them. what about sports| coverage? is that fairly evenly disputed or is there a particular day in the week you tend to get more sports exclusives? what day in the week you tend to get more sports exclusives? what has happened is oor is sports exclusives? what has happened is poor is when — sports exclusives? what has happened is poor is when i _ sports exclusives? what has happened is poor is when i first _ sports exclusives? what has happened is poor is when i first started, - is poor is when i first started, there — is poor is when i first started,

10:37 pm
conservatives believe the people they want to support them like this policy and really get behind it. and they want to see people on those flights and of course it did rather play to what they want to be seen politically as it did not get stopped by lefty liberal lawyers which would've been good enough but it got stopped by european lawyers. so it did play very much to their base, i guess, you would say. and so the home secretary obviously one of the home secretary obviously one of the architects of this policy is complaining that it's scandalous and saying that we don't know who these judges are who made this judgment and that that is a problem for british politics. she and that that is a problem for british politics.— and that that is a problem for british politics. she really laced the politics _ british politics. she really laced the politics along _ british politics. she really laced the politics along with - british politics. she really laced the politics along with the - british politics. she really laced| the politics along with the travel in this one. the home secretary saying that anti—toryism was a play and she says the case particularly absolutely from human rights lawyers who jumped on the absolutely from human rights lawyers whojumped on the bandwagon politically motivated tactic she says and goes as far as accusing the

and sussex another councils paying more is that they are desperately trying to hold on to staff, there is a shortage of staff, lots of vacancies and people can walked out of a job and pretty much have a good hope of getting another one rather than having that fear factor that might keep them in situation with a situation where the wages are not adequate. and it's the unions but actually it's the union members who probably are the ones who want a pay rise because they are struggling to make ends meet.— make ends meet. well, quite, and that's the big _ make ends meet. well, quite, and that's the big problem. _ make ends meet. well, quite, and that's the big problem. if - make ends meet. well, quite, and that's the big problem. if any - make ends meet. well, quite, and that's the big problem. if any of i that's the big problem. if any of your staff or having to go to food banks, of course you are going to say we need to pay rise. and i think one of the problems here is this sort of no end in sight to these problems in economic terms. the bank of england's chief economist warning today or yesterday in the saturday papers that we could get a sort of half a percentage point rise in
10:42 pm
interest rates come double the normal level at which they would put it up because they worry this high inflation is becoming embedded into the economy. that's quite troubling, very troubling if anyone is on a tracking mortgage where they have costs that will leave but when that happens, but that is how concerned they are about inflation. but of course it is sort of terrifyingly high and they don't seem to be controlling at the moment, the whole point of controlling interest rates is obviously to be able rein in inflation although there is a lag index. so, yes, but it is a pretty bleak story and i just feel that we are going to talk about this for the next six months and possibly a year and possibly two years in the government does not seem to have enough answers and they keep saying we cannot have all the answers on price rises but passing on a head and saying you don't need a pay rise hats does not actually charm anyone either. particularly when people
