we had four days of weekend. we had four days of relentless rain in sydney. i'm sure you've seen the footage. i wanted to put it into context ofjust how much wet weather they have seen in that four day spell. they've had 733 millimetres of rain. to help you put that into context, that is more than a whole years worth of rain we would expect to see in london. it really is a significant amount of rain and hence the reason we are seeing so much devastation across new south wales, australia. closer to home, it's been a little bit more straightforward today, we've been chasing cloud amounts but in kent we saw a high of 2a celsius this afternoon. we keep the quiet weather through the night, just a few scattered showers across the far north and west. we will keep those temperatures up into double figures. where we have clearer skies, in rural parts, we could see loads of 7

degrees. quite chilly for the time of year. that's where the best of the sunshine will be first thing in the sunshine will be first thing in the morning. eastern scotland, parts of eastern england starting off dry and sunny. a week when the front will bring a little bit of drizzle into western scotland and northern ireland, may be misty and make it through wales and south—west england. here, cooler, but top temperatures around 23 degrees and it is perfect weather conditions once again for wimbledon with temperatures peaking into the low 20s. temperatures peaking into the low 205. it temperatures peaking into the low 20s. it looks likely we will keep a similar story as we go through the week. this high pressure is desperately trying to push in from the south—west. it gives us some dry weather. weatherfronts pushing across could bring persistent rain into north—western scotland for a time on wednesday but elsewhere a good deal of sunshine and the sun is strong at this time of year so wanted punches through we will see those temperatures lifting up. 25 degrees on wednesday, may be feeling more humid towards the end of the week, and a degree or so warmer.

temperatures into the high 20s as we get towards the weekend. something to look forward to. we really well. thanks, louise. —— really will. and that's bbc news at ten on monday the 4th ofjuly. there's more analysis of the days main stories on newsnight with kirsty wark, 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. welcome to newsday. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are aletha adu, who is a political correspondent at the daily mirror and john stevens, deputy political

let's take a look at some of tomorrow's front pages: the sun reports on a premier league international footballer being arrested on suspicion of rape. the metros front page focusses on the go slow protest across the country today which was over fuel prices. the mail reports that police of being urged to use the powers to stop the protest by being arrested. the eye for an page dedicated to borisjohnson, focusing on the cabinet sing the cabinet is so angry having to defend them again. the mirror also looks at political stories and reporting of the fact that boris johnson stories and reporting of the fact that borisjohnson was made aware of formal complaints about the behaviour of use ago and the

guardian in the front page also including the story the bbc has admitted and received complaints against the former dj tim westwood. the telegraph from page has news on that by keir starmer a couple of hours ago of hours ago the parties knew brexit policy. right, let's start. that's a big political stories rumbling around as they have for the past few days. your paper, the mirror, johnson political editor, johnson i didn't know about it's almost inconceivable for the last few days and in 2017, he stood down after all allegations of the prime minister was unaware of this. �* , . ., , , of the prime minister was unaware of this. , i, ., this. it's completely shocking and the more days — this. it's completely shocking and the more days go _ this. it's completely shocking and the more days go by, _ this. it's completely shocking and the more days go by, the - this. it's completely shocking and the more days go by, the more i

the more days go by, the more shocking details emerge unfortunately, i must say that bbc news with the political correspondent, they've gone further than we did imus give a shout out to her. she's highlighted that boris johnson was well aware of some allegations of chrisman he was working for borisjohnson as a foreign office minister and when this out 2019 and 2020, he highlights the fact that downing street operation cannot continue to go on and essentially deny the claims that they have for the last couple of days and the state of affairs in parliament, the culture has been questioned for the last few years the last couple of months of the number of mps being forced to quit because of instance tend to make incidents related to sexual assault, even allegations, mps watching pornography in the comments which some may seem as much lighter

note but ultimately, it highlights the fact that people are not feeling comfortable in their place of work and people do not feel as though the government is taking this allegation seriously. essentially, any mps of ptolemy, particularly the furious seeing mps coming out and questioning the fact that downing street, borisjohnson spokespersons of not done well enough to essentially come clean and tell the public exactly what they knew if it is there are many mps that are furious that the conservative party name is being dragged into the mud and they refused to highlight why the prime minister decided to, essentially promote chris pincher as deputy chief whip and looking within the party and holding discipline and holding mps to account and it's alarming, really. a,

ministerial rounds because no one else wanted to. normally, we see heavyweights like the education secretary and the deputy deputy prime minister who would be quick to defend borisjohnson and that hasn't been the case of fire. maybe we'll see something tomorrow morning with the shows just how far, clearly, ministerial mps and conservative mps are just fed up with this and more needs to be done and i've spoken to conservative staffers who have long remained complaining when they do complain, they don't feel as though there and taken seriously and this is something that the party could have hadn't gotten on top of if they were to try to tame internal culture and it seems nobody feels they are being taken seriously at the moment which is quite alarming and we must remember that they can see from the conservative party, the chair still

vacant at the moment and seeing slowly at the moment, denigration and evaporation of leadership and people who are meant to be hoarding standards within the conservative party the other leading party. the government. this is on top of politics and government at the moment and we can only hope that things aren't going to get worse. the sink cabinet ministers are being advised to depart from the official downing street line. who knows of people going to come up with? yes. people going to come up with? yes, 'ust that people going to come up with? yes, just that there _ people going to come up with? yes, just that there is _ people going to come up with? yes, just that there is a _ people going to come up with? yes, just that there is a lack _ people going to come up with? yes, just that there is a lack of discipline in the tory party and they have _ discipline in the tory party and they have scared ministers to stick to the _ they have scared ministers to stick to the line — they have scared ministers to stick to the line. butjust they have scared ministers to stick to the line. but just take today is one example. as she said, on the broadcast — one example. as she said, on the broadcast rounded different radio stations— broadcast rounded different radio stations and tv stations this morning _ stations and tv stations this morning saying that borisjohnson was not _ morning saying that borisjohnson was not aware of any specific

desperately trying to distance himself away from jeremy corbyn, jeremy corbyn era and create what he sees as a new vision for the labour party and it is quite interesting then comes a week after tony blair, a former successful prime minister was urging keir starmer to set out exactly what his vision would be for the labour party so voters can really get behind the party and the brick and succeed and we've heard the likes of lord peter saying that this type of what he really believes in, in the likes of andy burnham was seen something that he, after the success of sir keir starmer, he told me a few weeks ago, when the way for a by election that keir starmer really needs to set out his agenda for the party. we really needs to set out his agenda for the party-— really needs to set out his agenda for the -a . . ., ., ., for the party. we are eating through the time. for the party. we are eating through the time- is — for the party. we are eating through the time. is this _ for the party. we are eating through the time. is this enough _ for the party. we are eating through the time. is this enough to - for the party. we are eating through the time. is this enough to win - for the party. we are eating through the time. is this enough to win backj the time. is this enough to win back the labour supporters on the real
