bringing rain through the course of the night tonight. most fizzling away to drizzle the time we get to tuesday morning and the sun is up at 3:30am across shetland and we have the longest day ahead this tuesday and 19 hours of daylight possible for some parts of northern scotland. not 19 hours of sunshine. more cloud through the day, brighter as the day goes on for scotland and northern ireland and a few showers in the east but cooler because of the cloud and the weather front, may be 17 or 18 in aberdeen but possibly 25 across central england and wales, even through tuesday afternoon. wednesday, more sunshine for england and wales and warmer here and brighter skies for northern ireland and much of scotland, away from the north rain stays breezy and cool. we push into the 20s for aberdeen and belfast wednesday, may be up to 28 somewhere in england and wales through the middle of the week. thursday looks very similar as well. the end of the way, if the heat is

not for you, it is off again. showers and rain were widespread and a cooler story to end the week and take us into the weekend. the heat is not for me, susan! you can keep that 28! thanks, susan. and that's bbc news at ten on monday the 20th ofjune. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight with kirsty wark, which isjust getting underway on bbc two. the news continues here on bbc one as now its 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 ros altmann, former pensions minister, and natalie faye, senior editor

at the nottingham post, the derby telegraph and the lincolnshire echo. good evening to you both. we'll chat in a second. business fears rail strikes' cost as prospect grows of more walk—outs — that's on the front of the financial times. other industries could ballot for similar action. the telegraph repeats the prime ministers claim. "unions harming those they are meant to help," reads their headline. planes, trains, automobiles all come to a halt, and the mirror says on the front page, the transport secretary still refuses to act. on the front of the i tomorrow, the government plans to tear up the limits on city bosses' pay. pm inflames rail dispute with strike—breaker threat, reports the guardian. it's all going a bit loco — the metro comments on tomorrow's strike, with this striking front page. don't panic, but they've just put

a man with no brain in charge of the country. that's from daily star, commenting on the interim role of dominic raab while borisjohnson recovers from a nose surgery. so, let us begin. let's beat to ros and natalie. good evening to you both. —— let's speak to. it seems the rail strikes will dominate most papers. the concern isn't necessarilyjust dominate most papers. the concern isn't necessarily just this dominate most papers. the concern isn't necessarilyjust this week's strikes, which of course will cause chaos, is about whether this is the start of what will be a very long, may be rather painful summer of disruption. may be rather painful summer of disru tion. , may be rather painful summer of disruption-_

may be rather painful summer of disrution. , . , , . disruption. yes, and the signs are reall not disruption. yes, and the signs are really not terribly _ disruption. yes, and the signs are really not terribly hopeful - disruption. yes, and the signs are really not terribly hopeful at - disruption. yes, and the signs are really not terribly hopeful at the l really not terribly hopeful at the moment. there does seem to be an enormous... but i truly believe that this action is premature and is callous. when you think about, for example, people who will miss hospital appointments, students who have had so much disruption, who will miss their gcses and a—levels. these... this is a terrible time. these... this is a terrible time. the unions have been warned about the timing. there are lots of things going on at the moment. in the summer, it will be much less disruptive for the general public. but isn't disruption the point? the unit is saying this is how they'll get there message across. disruption is the only way to make the government act.— is the only way to make the government act. is the only way to make the covernment act. ~ �* ., , government act. well, i'm not sure that that is — government act. well, i'm not sure that that is the — government act. well, i'm not sure that that is the right _ government act. well, i'm not sure that that is the right way _ government act. well, i'm not sure that that is the right way to - that that is the right way to approach or the responsible way to

approach or the responsible way to approach rail passengers. if they're providing a vital service and there are issues happening at the moment that won't be happening in a couple of weeks, for example, punishing schoolchildren, as punishing students who can't get to exams. these are life—changing, potentially damaging events. how will the young students feel when their futures have been blighted by this? ifeel that the public, of course, understand that you've got to have good pay and good conditions for workers in this country, but this action seems to me to be punitive and perimeter when there hasn't been proper negotiation yet —— and premature. we'rejust

if there's a repair needed at kings cross, are not allowed to go there because it's not on their patch. management is not allowed beat —— to speak remotely to staff. drivers getting paid for 12 minutes walking time, from their break to their train. all these things, whether or not it takes 12 minutes, they have to be paid for that. there are ways in which, with proper negotiation and changing the way things operate to make them more efficient, that itself could help boost pay and the private sector is doing quite a bit of this. but all these public sector industries who have great benefits are trying to stay with the existing conditions rather than improving productivity which would allow for

higher pay. productivity which would allow for hither -a . . productivity which would allow for hither -a. ., �*, productivity which would allow for hiuhaer-. ., �*, , higher pay. yeah, it's interesting where on that _ higher pay. yeah, it's interesting where on that scale _ higher pay. yeah, it's interesting where on that scale of— higher pay. yeah, it's interesting where on that scale of reform . higher pay. yeah, it's interesting - where on that scale of reform versus reality. let's move on because it's something we will talk about all week. in the i, there is a sort of real contrast here when we're talking about the cost of living and workers on the railways asking for more pay. number ten plans to tear up limits on city buses pay. —— city bosses' pay. a lot of people facing a cost of living squeeze. it’s lot of people facing a cost of living squeeze.— lot of people facing a cost of living squeeze. it's 'ust in the wind, really. _ living squeeze. it's 'ust in the wind, really. i— living squeeze. it'sjust in the wind, really. i know- living squeeze. it'sjust in the wind, really. i know a - living squeeze. it'sjust in the wind, really. i know a lot - living squeeze. it'sjust in the wind, really. i know a lot of. living squeeze. it'sjust in the i wind, really. i know a lot of my readers — wind, really. i know a lot of my readers across the east midlands havent— readers across the east midlands haven't got these kinds of industries in cities that i look after— industries in cities that i look after with— industries in cities that i look after with my newspapers. they were looking _ after with my newspapers. they were looking at _ after with my newspapers. they were looking at that and going, this is

inflation, those messages do not stack up. i think we should all be in it together and there shouldn't be one rule for the very wealthy and another rule for everybody else. so, although i do hope that the strikes will not end in deadlock and we will come to a negotiation, i also feel that it's wrong to suddenly say, well, it's a free—for—all for the wealthy and the very rich and those who want to earn a fortune in this country. ijust feel that many of the financial companies are based offshore, some of them don't pay taxes in the uk. so, i do think that there is this mixed message which is extremely unhelpful.—

them face—to—face. but of course there are many
