recorded in london at 28 degrees. and in aberdeenshire, 26, the warmest day of the year so far in scotland. but you know i'm going to spoil it. things are going to change was that it will turn more unsettled with temperatures dropping and that means we have rain in the forecast. overnight tonight, a bit of clout in the north of scotland but otherwise skies are clear from top to keep a close eye on this clout in northern france. this is where change is coming from. by the morning there could be rain in the channel islands and through the day tomorrow we will find more cloud and showers breaking out and moving northwards into england and wales. some heavy and thundery. hit and miss, some sunshine, scotland and northern ireland are likely to stay dry with sunny spells will stop not as warm as today in the north—east of scotland but a warm day in england and wales despite developing showers. ahead of the showers temperatures could reach 27 or 28 again. the weather is changing because pressure is falling. when that happens we have more cloud and

the chance of rain particularly with all these weather fronts around. on friday there will still be some sunshine around but more showers will break out and they contain heavy and thundery. drifting across northern england and into scotland. a rain arriving in the south—west of england and wales. temperatures will be lower on friday, 21 and 22. still some warm weather for eastern parts of england if we miss the heavy showers. but instead of high pressure that has brought warm weather and sunshine, low pressure will be in charge this weekend, bringing stronger wind and most of the rain across the western side of the rain across the western side of the uk. it could be heavy and thundery. looking drier, sunnier and warmer on the eastern side of the uk. thanks, darren. and that's bbc news at ten on wednesday the 22nd ofjune. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight with mark urban, which isjust getting under way 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 sebastian payne, who is the whitehall editor at the financial times and martin lipton, the chief sports reporter at the sun. welcome to you both, thank you very much indeed for being with us. the i newspaper leads on the discovering of polio in sewage checks and london. that story also the lead in the metro, which notes

that rates are lower in london than the national average. news that tomorrow's rail strike is going ahead is the lead in the guardian. strikes are the main story in the telegraph. not those by railway workers, but the threat by teachers. the financial times has that story about possible strike action by teachers as well. it has a sombre image of some destruction that's been caused by the earthquake in afghanistan. the times leaves on the pay deal for mersey rail workers and ponders what that might mean for the wider economy. so, let's dirt off with seb and the guardian, and the

talks ending in acrimony. the rmt blaming the government, grant shapps leaving the rmt, so it goes on. yes. leaving the rmt, so it goes on. yes, it's famous. — leaving the rmt, so it goes on. yes, it's famous. as _ leaving the rmt, so it goes on. yes, it's famous, as we've _ leaving the rmt, so it goes on. yes, it's famous, as we've seen _ it's famous, as we've seen throughout this whole process that we had those strikes on tuesday and again tomorrow. the rmt would say the government is not really being constructive. the government will say the rmt is asking for far too much. you fundamentally, it's exactly as it was and i imagine it will happen again on saturday. huge amount of destruction. —— disruption. but it feels like both sides are pretty entrenched and no one's really moving, and i think it's going to continue and the rmt have it announce further strikes,

but i think it'll be a bumpy time this summer and as other papers of god as well, there are other sectors that may go on strike —— have got as well. that may go on strike -- have got as well. �* , . , , , , that may go on strike -- have got as well. , ,, well. there's all these issues about modernisation _ well. there's all these issues about modernisation and _ well. there's all these issues about modernisation and some _ well. there's all these issues about modernisation and some quite - well. there's all these issues about. modernisation and some quite reforms of the railway industry that the management are trying to push through. management are trying to push throu . h. . management are trying to push throu~h. . . management are trying to push throu h. . . . management are trying to push throu. h. . . . ., management are trying to push throu~h. . ., ., ., through. yeah, and i have to say this is familiar _ through. yeah, and i have to say this is familiar language - through. yeah, and i have to say this is familiar language from - through. yeah, and i have to say| this is familiar language from the best part — this is familiar language from the best part of 40 years ago, when management of a heavily unionis? industry— management of a heavily unionis? industry are seeking to institute change — industry are seeking to institute change. the union is defending its position— change. the union is defending its position somewhat aggressively. talking _ position somewhat aggressively. talking about, accusing ministers and others — talking about, accusing ministers and others of lying. it's

the beginning of this year, the plan was for 2% increase across the public sector, and all the union said that's not enough when you look at how high inflation is. but the main thing the government is worried about is that wage price spiral, things will keep on building and building, and that will set inflation which you can't really get out of because most of the inflation comes from things outside the uk, on a lot of that is ukraine, but also global supply chains. every week now, and the various bodies will get the recommendation for the government, and it's not the same across all because police are very different to teachers who are different to teachers who are different to teachers who are different to nurses who have had different to nurses who have had different stages of pay. we've gone

cost of producing goods and services. they don't add to inflation the same way. but a lot of people will think shouldn't pensioners be getting 10% and we have to settle for one or two or 3%? the argument... we all know about the triple _ the argument... we all know about the triple locked. it's an inflation linked _ the triple locked. it's an inflation linked rise — the triple locked. it's an inflation linked rise and it went into abeyance for obvious reasons. some would _ abeyance for obvious reasons. some would say _ abeyance for obvious reasons. some would say good nurses or teachers add an— would say good nurses or teachers add an input cost of goods and services — add an input cost of goods and services that we consume, certainly nurses— services that we consume, certainly nurses in— services that we consume, certainly nurses in particular would argue they— nurses in particular would argue they are — nurses in particular would argue they are rather more value—added. but it— they are rather more value—added. but it is— they are rather more value—added. but it is an — they are rather more value—added. but it is an interesting dilemma. i don't _ but it is an interesting dilemma. i don't think— but it is an interesting dilemma. i don't think anybody will begrudge pensioners getting more. that's

into double digits presumably. i into double digits presumably. i know when i think some of these are totally unrealistic. i don't think you or i have had a 12% pay rise this year, and i don't think many in the private actor will have either, because inflation was not anticipated to be this high at the beginning of the year. the fact is i think the government is right. if you look at the raw economics, you cannot have a wage price spiral because that means inflation will be sustained and continue for much longer because the office for budget responsibility says that they expect it to start trending downwards towards the end of this year. next year, i should say. but if you have the rises, that will go on for much longer period. the economy can't really handle that. what martin said about the triple locked, the reason the tories are doing this is not because they love pensioners, which they do, but it's because pensioners

vote conservative and tend to go out and actually vote, unlike younger people. so it's a very handy thing to do that next year, particularly if there happens to be a general election in 2023 or one so the government can give all sorts of reasons, but it'sjust government can give all sorts of reasons, but it's just a bit of politics here. martin, let's go to afghanistan now and one suspects that people there wouldn't mind the problems of an inflationary spiral. they have so many other much more pressing problems, they've got hunger and then the —— manual traction, now they have an earthquake —— malnutrition. the fear is that that will rise. you just... your heart bleeds for afghanistan. it's one crisis after another. it is, it's been a bedeviled for 40

can panic, but if
