and women's rights and gay rights and rights for everybody. but to be honest, the fact that the supreme court thinks it needs to start looking to get on with this, that's all well and good, but has there ever been a situation in history where people have had a right for generations, and then they've been absolutely fine with it taking away? because i can think about it. if you're born into a world with no rights, sometimes you don't know what you're missing. when you have those rights, when your mothers and grandmothers had those rights, and you had them for generations, people do not let go of them. what you're looking at here now is a war against women, and women are going to fight back. they won't take this lying down. it's not going to be like a handmade's tail. we have a country thatis

10:52 pm
for the prime minister, bearing in mind that his cabinet minister was claiming as the paper was describing that oliver dowden was putting to run rishi because 's campaign. i run rishi because 's campaign. i don't think it's going to matter to borisjohnson that he's lost these by—elections. i don't think it will matter if every single cabinet minister resigned tomorrow if every single member of his party said, "please, you have to resign." i think he would carry on. i think he has that self belief. also, a real need to not leave as a failure. despite the fact that every career does end that way. there isn't enough wd—40 in the world to get him back out of downing street. i agree with ali, i don't think he's going anywhere. i think the tory rebels
10:53 pm
are thick, because they went on far too early. they could be moving against him now and have a far better chance to succeed. but previous tory leaders, when they've left and resigned, it's because they've seen the way the wind is blowing. borisjohnson isn't really a natural conservative. he doesn't really have much respect for the party. i do think he's more interested in making sure he has a legacy behind him that he can leave on some kind of a high when he does finish. so i think what you're looking at is some kind of snap election in the next year or so. when you feel something 's going his way for once, he might risk it. but if he holds on, i don't know how he could win the election this one because of everything that's added up because of everything that's added up against him. but i think that's
10:54 pm
the thinking, i can hold on for the bit and i'll call a snap election when the wind is blowing in the right direction. aha, when the wind is blowing in the right direction.— when the wind is blowing in the right direction. a snap election, that's something _ right direction. a snap election, that's something we _ right direction. a snap election, that's something we will - right direction. a snap election, | that's something we will get our teeth into in our next edition of the papers. ijust want teeth into in our next edition of the papers. i just want to focus on the papers. i just want to focus on the ft, a story about wimbledon. bring us up—to—date. they're carrying on, why is this? the authority _ carrying on, why is this? the authority isn't _ carrying on, why is this? the authority isn't going to make this a ranking _ authority isn't going to make this a ranking tournament. it's going to be like an— ranking tournament. it's going to be like an expert in —— exhibition hecausem _ like an expert in —— exhibition because... the leading russian tennis— because... the leading russian tennis player from... because... the leading russian tennis playerfrom... daniil tennis player from... daniil medvedev. tennis playerfrom... daniil medvedev. that's a situation that's going _ medvedev. that's a situation that's going to _ medvedev. that's a situation that's going to be occurring at wimbledon. it's going to be occurring at wimbledon. it's going _ going to be occurring at wimbledon. it's going to be an exhibition tournament, but it is the greatest tournament, but it is the greatest tournament in the world. i'm not 'ust tournament in the world. i'm not just saying — tournament in the world. i'm not just saying this because we're in the uk, — just saying this because we're in the uk, but it's the one that everyone _ the uk, but it's the one that everyone wants to win. it's going to

back again later. thanks very much for watching and i'll be back later. hello. plenty of fine weather around this weekend, but showers in the forecast, too. however, some of us may miss them altogether and end up with a dry weekend, but i will add that around coastal areas, it could be windy at times and feel a little on the cool side. now, this changeable weather is brought by an area of low pressure which will basically park itself over ireland. it's already arrived in the showers are becoming more frequent across some western areas — that is, they will be through the course of the next 24 hours. that is, they will be through now, we've had some showers in the last few hours. they will continue through early saturday morning across parts of western scotland, but generally speaking, it's a dry end to the night for many of us with clear spells. and with temperatures ranging from around 10—15 degrees,
10:57 pm
so not particularly cold first thing in the morning. so, let's have a look at the forecast for saturday, then. here's our area of low pressure. with clouds and showers swirling around, this is a cool atlantic breeze, so around these coastal areas of cornwall, devon, around the coasts of wales, the irish sea and into scotland, it will be chilly, temperatures around 15—16 degrees in some spots. basically, the further east you are, the sunnier and warmer it'll be. and remember, out towards the west, always a chance of catching some showers, even some heavy ones — notjust through the afternoon, but into the evening — and they'll have a tendency to drift northwards, carried by that breeze circling this area of low pressure. that was saturday, this is sunday, and look at this — even some persistent rain for a time expected in northern ireland and around some of these western parts of the uk. further east, drier and brighter and, in fact, in east anglia and the southeast and probably along the south coast of england, it should be a mostly sunny day on sunday. here, temperatures up to 23 degrees in one or two spots, but more typically, we're talking about the mid or high teens a little
10:58 pm
bit further towards the west. and this low pressure is still with us early next week, but what happens is it actually moves away and another one takes its place, bringing spells of rain to western parts of the uk once again. so, overall, we are in a spell of fairly unsettled weather. here's the outlook for some of our major cities, and you can see the further north and west you are, the more changeable it is with these showers. the best of the weather will always be further south and southeast. have a good weekend.
