that continues to run south cloud, that continues to run south overnight but if we had all the way down to spain and portugal, temperatures are in the mid—40s and we have an early and prolonged heatwave and it is this weekend and early next week where we tap into that heat and it will be hotter than it has been over the last couple of days. still uncomfortably warm up tonight in the south—east, especially london, but cooler elsewhere. we start tomorrow with cloud over southern parts of england and may be a few spots of rain overnight but that moves through, a few showers for scotland and sunny spells, as well, and much more sunshine for england and wales but the temperatures continue to drop away a little bit, except in the south—east and east anglia, another very warm day and temperatures could reach 30 again in london. moving onto thursday, a west to north westerly breeze which will bring more showers to northern ireland and scotland and may be some for northern england but elsewhere it is

dry and sunny and again it is very warm, but not as hot, even in the south—east term just dropping to around 27. as we head into the weekend, the heat really starts to build, not so much for scotland and northern ireland, as you can see, temperatures back into the mid 20s but across much of england and wales where we have the amber extreme heat warning from the met office and that is for sunday and monday and it could get extended into tuesday, in actual fact. could get extended into tuesday, in actualfact. in the could get extended into tuesday, in actual fact. in the strong sunshine the temperature is really climbing across much of england and wales and we have 36 in london and it could get even hotter. thanks darren. i hope you are wrong! and that's bbc news at ten on tuesdayjuly 12th — there's more analysis of the day's main stories. including on the conservative

leadership. that's on newsnight with kirsty wark which isjust getting underway on bbc two. the news continues here on bbc one as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rachel watson, the scottish political editor at the scottish sun, along with the author and journalist, emma woolf. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the ft lead with the coversative leadership race — while eight candidates have qualified for the first ballot, they report thatjohnson allies want to stop former chancellor rishi sunak from securing leadership.

the express also says that loyalists to outgoing prime minister borisjohnson want to �*stop rishi and urge tory mps to back candidate liz truss, instead. the i also highlights the eight candidates left in the race for leader of the conservative party. the telegraph said rishi sunak will run the economy like thatcher if he wins his bed. the metro reports that britain is on red alert as ambulance services struggle with increased demand and covid related staff shortages. fairto fair to say one story is dominating all the papers. emma, lets start

with you and a tories in the vote to become prime minister as rishi sunak leads. what are your thoughts about these eight?— these eight? well, no big surprises. it was quite — these eight? well, no big surprises. it was quite a _ these eight? well, no big surprises. it was quite a big — these eight? well, no big surprises. it was quite a big surprise _ these eight? well, no big surprises. it was quite a big surprise to - these eight? well, no big surprises. it was quite a big surprise to lots . it was quite a big surprise to lots of us that sajid javid pulled out, couldn't get the 20 support he needed to get through to the first elimination round. we have rishi sunak who seems to be very out in front. he has over a0 mps supporting him. penny mordaunt, liz truss, tom tugendhat, kemi badenoch, a lot of people are not familiar with her but liking what they see. and we have suella braverman. it will be on wednesday, the first elimination vote and we know from the 1922 committee, anyone with fewer than 30 votes will be eliminated on

wednesday afternoon. that will go through until thursday and i think the tory members have six or seven weeks to make their choice. rachel, interestin: weeks to make their choice. rachel, interesting the _ weeks to make their choice. rachel, interesting the headline _ weeks to make their choice. rachel, interesting the headline as - weeks to make their choice. rachel, interesting the headline as rishi - interesting the headline as rishi sunak leads and that is what the polls are suggesting, but he doesn't necessarily mean we can say with confidence will be in the final two? that is what is interesting about this race, — that is what is interesting about this race, it is so open and you cannot— this race, it is so open and you cannot say— this race, it is so open and you cannot say he will be in the finals and you _ cannot say he will be in the finals and you wouldn't want to put any money— and you wouldn't want to put any money on — and you wouldn't want to put any money on who the next prime minister will he _ money on who the next prime minister will be. what will be over the next couple _ will be. what will be over the next couple of — will be. what will be over the next couple of days, and we have already seen it. _ couple of days, and we have already seen it. with — couple of days, and we have already seen it, with priti patel who are behind — seen it, with priti patel who are behind liz— seen it, with priti patel who are behind liz truss will start looking at the _ behind liz truss will start looking at the candidate or candidate they would like to see in the final two. if it looks— would like to see in the final two. if it looks likely that liz truss will go — if it looks likely that liz truss will go into the final two, do people — will go into the final two, do people think that rishi sunak will beat her— people think that rishi sunak will beat her or do they look elsewhere

already going on. so this is why i think it is so damaging this whole leadership to carry on all summer. we have had months and months of party gait, navel—gazing and infighting are not dealing with the problems by the tory party. they need to stop this and the longer it drags on, the less relevant and connected people will feel with the party. connected people will feel with the .a . ., . connected people will feel with the -a . .. ., connected people will feel with the party. rachel, emma mentioned about sa'id javid party. rachel, emma mentioned about sajid javid drapping — party. rachel, emma mentioned about sajid javid dropping out, _ party. rachel, emma mentioned about sajid javid dropping out, his _ sajid javid dropping out, his resignation helped precipitate johnson's of demise in the first place and he dropped out shortly before the announcement by the 1922 committee chairman graham brady of the eight that were left in the race. as the guardian points out, the former health secretary didn't immediately endorse any of his rivals, but it will be interesting to see who he does decide to back, what is your thought? it to see who he does decide to back, what is your thought?— what is your thought? it will be interesting _ what is your thought? it will be interesting where _ what is your thought? it will be interesting where sajid - what is your thought? it will be interesting where sajid javid i interesting where sajid javid decides to put his support.

gazing adoringly at him while he stands at the lectern. but it is interesting what he says, he is saying he likens himself to margaret thatcher's childhood, above her father's greengrocer�*s shop with him working in his mother's pharmacy. it is important, he has been tarnished by the non—dom scandal, tarnished by the sense he is a billionaire and is completely out of touch. he is very much wanting to establish that he has humble roots, too. in the campaign video he talks about his family coming over and settling here and we saw the pharmacy. he likens himself to margaret thatcher's working above, living above the grocery shop and him working in his mother's pharmacy. it is important, as he is taking on liz truss, very

much modelling herself on the iron lady in many ways, too. he is trying to establish himself against the critics who say he is not a true conservative because not promising tax cuts immediately. he is saying i will implement tax cuts, but when it is fiscally responsible. he is trying to take on the critics. isn't it amazing how quickly the wheel can turn and people can be rehabilitated. he is now the front runner by some distance and a few months ago was seen as all washed up. months ago was seen as all washed u, . ., months ago was seen as all washed u . _ . ., , , ., months ago was seen as all washed up. what is your take on this interview. — up. what is your take on this interview, rachel? _ up. what is your take on this interview, rachel? i- up. what is your take on this interview, rachel? i will- up. what is your take on this interview, rachel? i will run | up. what is your take on this i interview, rachel? iwill run the interview, rachel? i will run the economy like thatcher if i win. he is pledging himself to model himself on the iron lady with responsible tax cuts. he is the only one of the eight candidates who said, yes, he wants to cut tax but not immediately because inflation, he has got to get that under control? this

because inflation, he has got to get that under control?— that under control? as emma said this is something _ that under control? as emma said this is something rishi _ that under control? as emma said this is something rishi sunak - that under control? as emma said this is something rishi sunak will| this is something rishi sunak will feel that — this is something rishi sunak will feel that it put him on the other side of— feel that it put him on the other side of the _ feel that it put him on the other side of the candidates promising fast tax — side of the candidates promising fast tax cuts. immediate cuts to tax, _ fast tax cuts. immediate cuts to tax, thinking they are giving mps and membership what they want. rishi sunak— and membership what they want. rishi sunak is— and membership what they want. rishi sunak is saying, we want to slow this down, — sunak is saying, we want to slow this down, we are in a cost of living — this down, we are in a cost of living crisis. _ this down, we are in a cost of living crisis, you cannotjust cut tax~ _ living crisis, you cannotjust cut tax we — living crisis, you cannotjust cut tax. we have got to earn the money before _ tax. we have got to earn the money before you — tax. we have got to earn the money before you spend it, when he's talking — before you spend it, when he's talking with the government. he wants— talking with the government. he wants to — talking with the government. he wants to be seen as someone as a sensible _ wants to be seen as someone as a sensible leader, take a more centrist, _ sensible leader, take a more centrist, sensible approach to government. someone he was loved by the conservative party and the iron lady stature is so different to what we have _ lady stature is so different to what we have seen with borisjohnson. boris _ we have seen with borisjohnson. borisjohnson was seen we have seen with borisjohnson. boris johnson was seen as a bit of a laugh. _ boris johnson was seen as a bit of a laugh. a _ boris johnson was seen as a bit of a laugh. a bit— boris johnson was seen as a bit of a laugh, a bit of a joke figure by some — laugh, a bit of a joke figure by some this— laugh, a bit of a joke figure by some. this will be rishi sunak, although— some. this will be rishi sunak, although he made the comment about

coming from, her own team? and then there is this campaign _ coming from, her own team? and then there is this campaign that _ coming from, her own team? and then there is this campaign that has - there is this campaign that has sprung up from somewhere. the papers are referring to it as stop rishie. it is a referral that it is boris loyalist and brexiteers who are furious at what they perceive as rishi sunak and his disloyalty. but all though he's bigger borisjohnson today, he was very polite. and brexiteers have thrown their weight behind liz truss, which is hilarious. in 2016 liz truss came out and made very eloquent statement against brexit. she was extremely in the remain camped. so it is all over the remain camped. so it is all over the place and it highlights how the dark arts on the horse trading is going on and how quickly everything can shift. it is going on and how quickly everything can shift. , , can shift. it is interesting, rachel, i— can shift. it is interesting, rachel, i am _ can shift. it is interesting, rachel, i am looking - can shift. it is interesting, rachel, i am looking back| can shift. it is interesting, - rachel, i am looking back over can shift. it is interesting, _ rachel, i am looking back over these front pages we have discussed with rishi sunak on the front of most of them and liz truss and the focus on them and liz truss and the focus on the two of them. yet the person at the two of them. yet the person at the moment after rishi sunak seems
