figures last night. grey and single figures last night. grey and fog in the eastern out west we have low pressure. we start with some sunshine but the show was developed, they could turn heavy with thunder as well and out towards the west, more persistent rain comes in across northern ireland into the west of wales and the south—west of england. a little bit fresher and we will notice that, 23, 24. 25, 26 across the far east. overnight that band of rain pushes further northwards, joining forces with another system stuck over the northern isles. that low pressure is with us as we go into saturday, throwing in more showers, longer spells of rain, more frequent in the west but we could have showers creeping into eastern areas late on saturday. by saturday it is fresher, the breeze is increasing. unusually so for the

time of year so feeling fresher and quite showery for most of us. that pattern continues notjust through sunday but into monday as well. it looks as if they will be most prevalent in the west but no area exempt but equally there will be good spells of dry weather as well at times. ., ~ , ., good spells of dry weather as well at times. . ~' ,, n, �* good spells of dry weather as well at times. ., ~ ,., ,., �* ., at times. thank you. don't forget ou can at times. thank you. don't forget you can follow — at times. thank you. don't forget you can follow the _ at times. thank you. don't forget you can follow the results of - you can follow the results of today's by—elections on the bbc news channel and website. newsnight is just getting under way on bbc two and the news continues here on bbc one. we canjoin our colleagues across the nations and regions for the loose where you are. from us, hello, welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are benedicte paviot, who's the uk correspondent

for france 24, and chair of the uk advisory board of reporters without borders. and also with me is the author and journalist, emma woolf. so, onto tomorrow's front pages. the strike vote by ba staff at heathrow makes the lead in several papers. the metro strikes an ominous note about possible summer travel disruption. the i warns of a summer of discontent for teachers and nurses. that also features in the guardian, with a picture of some of the crowds at glastonbury. the telegraph says the pm is considering cutting back on biofuel cost concerns. the daily express has a story about the european court of human rights. the paper says one of its own judges has

criticised the ruling. prince charles's reported to have expressed concern. the two meet at the commonwealth summit in rwanda. in the time splashes on a similar story, saying borisjohnson has stoked the row by saying his critics have outmoded ideas about rwanda. so, let us begin, then. welcome, benedicte and emma. if we start with the metro, it leads with terminal chaos. that news about more travel disruptions. benedicte, let's start with your thoughts. well, reporting on this day two of the strike. on the first day, it was the two, two learned that va staff, 700 of them

have voted overwhelmingly —— ba, in favour of a strike. it looks like that could hit and be meant to hit the summer holidays. you this is just more transport misery for passengers. the fact that the ba staff are underlining the fact they're not asking for a pay rise, they're not asking for a pay rise, they're asking for the 10% reduction that they say was imposed on them during the pandemic, to be refunded to them. but when you know that there are other sectors thinking of striking, teachers and nurses, possibly, it really does not look good. when families and people in general really need that break, this is really very bad news indeed because it really is important to get away either to see friends and relatives orjust get away either to see friends and relatives or just to get away either to see friends and relatives orjust to go somewhere

else so that you can come back refreshed and travel has already become not a refreshing proposition at all with the chaos we saw at the half term. so it's very worrying, i think, for lots of people.- half term. so it's very worrying, i think, for lots of people. emma, do ou think think, for lots of people. emma, do you think not _ think, for lots of people. emma, do you think not getting _ think, for lots of people. emma, do you think not getting a _ think, for lots of people. emma, do you think not getting a way - think, for lots of people. emma, do you think not getting a way as - you think not getting a way as easily as a price worth paying first? i easily as a price worth paying first? ~' ., , ., ., first? i think the whole situation is very difficult. _ first? i think the whole situation is very difficult. of _ first? i think the whole situation is very difficult. of course, - first? i think the whole situation is very difficult. of course, it's l is very difficult. of course, it's synthetic— is very difficult. of course, it's synthetic to workers who are struggling with the crisis, who want their pay— struggling with the crisis, who want their pay to keep up with inflation. one is_ their pay to keep up with inflation. one is also— their pay to keep up with inflation. one is also sympathetic to other workers — one is also sympathetic to other workers. just being in central london — workers. just being in central london today and seeing the chaos that was_ london today and seeing the chaos that was caused by the three days of transport _ that was caused by the three days of transport strike this week, that is a full_ transport strike this week, that is a full week— transport strike this week, that is a full week of strikes because of all the _ a full week of strikes because of all the disruption, a full week of strikes because of allthe disruption, it's a full week of strikes because of all the disruption, it's a difficult

important to have a break. i guess that's what driving these strikes, the fact that they isn't keeping up with the cost of living. yes. the fact that they isn't keeping up with the cost of living.— with the cost of living. yes, i was at two different _ with the cost of living. yes, i was at two different stations - with the cost of living. yes, i was at two different stations which i with the cost of living. yes, i was i at two different stations which were completely shut, and that has a knock—on effect. also, the mms that was going to be closed every day of the strike. as if life wasn't stressful enough to get your children to school, or for teenagers, college students to get to exams. you talking to the pickets, they feel very strongly about what they are doing, they feel disrespected since the offer on the table is 3% inflation. it is 30 set

to go to ii%, and the bills keep on coming —— it is the set. because of the effect of the war in ukraine, you've got rising fuel prices — diesel, petrol, rising food prices — and those of the bills that we've already got. that all adds up and people are absolutely... they don't know where to turn and what to cut next. we're not in the winter yet. we don't need heating now. but it's really very stressful for people. when you listen to the pickets, and the head of the rmt, there is clearly a very big gap in the are set to strike until they get what they consider a fair negotiated settlement. we bought saturday to come and it looks like they'll be announcing more strikes unless some miracle happens and some kind of

deal can be struck. so very much more misery for millions of people up more misery for millions of people up and down the country. even if — and we have to be aware in 2022, working from home, clearly people have worked much more from home and there has been less traffic across there has been less traffic across the country. when i say the country, i should say england, wales and scotland, since this has not been taking place in northern ireland. emma, on the impact of the cost of living crisis affecting other things, if we go on to the daily telegraph, the headline is drive for green fuel to be relaxed. this is saying the prime minister wa nts to wants to cut the amount of biofuel being used despite it being part of the net zero ambition, because boris johnson said the land should be used to produce more food rather than wheat and maize. emma, what do you

invading a sovereign country, but also trying to use food as a weapon. you can't get more 2022 than that. start of the people and have yet another effect on the rest of the world. that whole problem is about to start in the coming weeks or months or so, and then not enough storage to put the results of that harvest. really very worrying. not to mention the rising prices of all kinds of grains.— to mention the rising prices of all kinds of grains. away from the cost of livin: kinds of grains. away from the cost of living crisis, _ kinds of grains. away from the cost of living crisis, the guardian - kinds of grains. away from the cost of living crisis, the guardian talks l of living crisis, the guardian talks about the us supreme court decision today. this is the fact that it's saying it opens the door for almost all law—abiding americans to carry concealed and loaded handguns. in public. emma, did this take you by surprise? public. emma, did this take you by surrise? ~ , ,

by being majority conservative. the timing, possibly, the fact that that's still have thought —— that still got a majority in new york is a problem because i think it was 45,000 americans who were killed via guns in the last year. 45,000 people. that is just extraordinary. apart from the horrific details that we get that i can't almost they listening to any more because it's just all these parents and young lives cut short. and teachers. somebody can wander in with all these guns. i think it's said that if you carry a gun, you're more likely to be killed by one. i think it is very worrying. alas, it's not surprising. i lived in new york in six years —— for six years, and i would want to know without knowing

that more and more people walked around with weapons and that was legal. o nto onto a story i never would've expected to have been in the papers 2022, the express. emma, doesn't feel very 2022. express. emma, doesn't feelvery 2022. ., ., �* ., , . ., 2022. you wouldn't have expected to read this story _ 2022. you wouldn't have expected to read this story after _ 2022. you wouldn't have expected to read this story after the _ 2022. you wouldn't have expected to read this story after the two - 2022. you wouldn't have expected to read this story after the two years . read this story after the two years that we've — read this story after the two years that we've just had a pandemic, and then monkeypox and all of that. i think— then monkeypox and all of that. i think this — then monkeypox and all of that. i think this is entirely... well, unsurprising, but alarming. the polio _ unsurprising, but alarming. the polio virus — unsurprising, but alarming. the polio virus for the first time in 40 years. _ polio virus for the first time in 40 years. we — polio virus for the first time in 40 years, we think this may be the return— years, we think this may be the return of— years, we think this may be the return of polio. the virus has been detected _ return of polio. the virus has been detected in— return of polio. the virus has been detected in sewage samples. my apologies to anyone eating dinner at the moment. it's been detected in london _ the moment. it's been detected in london. there haven't been any confirmed — london. there haven't been any confirmed cases so experts are saying — confirmed cases so experts are saying there is no need to panic, but the _ saying there is no need to panic, but the virus has actually been
