"ow are getting a little desperate now across the south, absolutely no prospect of widespread rain for the foreseeable future. so dry for many of us across the uk, just a few scattered showers here and there. this is the rainfall over the next few days, so the darker blue is where we will see more rain. northern and western scotland, some rain in the north—west, northern ireland, but some areas literally bone dry, not a drop of rain. and the reason for this is we have northwesterly breezes which bring in showers, they are only hit and miss, the winds are light, they don't push in showers further south, and it just stays dry, particularly across southern parts of the uk. that is the same weather pattern for tomorrow, it is not changing, so the north—westerly wind, some of the showers across scotland, getting to eastern parts of northern england, may one or two in hull, but very hit and miss. in the south, sunny, 2a

celsius, fresher in the north, here is a look at saturday, the weather fronts way to the north never reach the south. in fact, temperature starting to rise now by the time we get to saturday, has this big area of high pressure starts to build across the uk. i will show you the temperatures, 27 in london, 20 in aberdeen, that high pressure keeps the weather fronts at bay, pushing them to the north, into the norwegian sea, a big high building across europe will open up the hot atmosphere, spreading in from the south, notjust into parts of the uk, but other parts of europe as well, so now i think confidence is increasing that next week, at least

midweek next week onwards, we are going to see those temperatures rising, quite possibly into the low 30s, maybe even to the mid 30s, but at this stage we are not expecting to get anything like the level we had last time when we hit a0 degrees, which is of course good there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight, 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 yasmin alibhai—brown, thejournalist and author, and rosa prince, who's the editor of house magazine, weekly political magazine about the workings of parliament. some usual faces some usualfaces in some usual faces in the some usualfaces in the programme.

all about the workings... a bit quiet at the moment. let's begin. as you can imagine, one story dominates the front pages. the metro shares the same headline with the i. we've got interest rates up, inflation going up. it's a grim read. almost all of them are. usually upbeat. — grim read. almost all of them are. usually upbeat, but _ grim read. almost all of them are. usually upbeat, but it _ grim read. almost all of them are. usually upbeat, but it hasn't - grim read. almost all of them are. usually upbeat, but it hasn't been | usually upbeat, but it hasn't been able to today. it is exactly the whole collection of misery that is coming our way, and now nobody is even hiding the fact that we are

either in or entering a long period of recession. as ever, we have to remember those who have leased capacity to cope with these whose price rises in inflation and the recession. ijust want price rises in inflation and the recession. i just want to ask one question that's really bothering me. do we have a government at the moment? have they gone on holiday? i would like to bring rosa in because you have more insight than most of us do on a weekly basis in parliament. if we could just show you the i, it shows you the rise of inflation. big red chart there, rosa. it's not like we didn't see it coming when we look at that chart, so one wonders where was the policy, where were the plans.

" he was denying pressures were coming at us, but the chancellor, the new chancellor, whose job this is, chancellor, the new chancellor, whosejob this is, what's he doing going off on holiday? whatever your politics are, we are in a period of a national crisis! let's have a look at the financial times because that focuses on somebody who is trying to help us. it may seem odd when interest rates

go it may seem odd when interest rates 9° up, it may seem odd when interest rates go up, but in the long term, the hope is a rise in interest rates... there's the face of a man, the governor of the bank of england. if you hadn't heard of him before, you certainly heard of him today.- certainly heard of him today. yeah, this was another _ certainly heard of him today. yeah, this was another paper _ certainly heard of him today. yeah, this was another paper that - certainly heard of him today. yeah, | this was another paper that features the press _ this was another paper that features the press conferences, and they've rather _ the press conferences, and they've rather gone — the press conferences, and they've rather gone for andrew bailey. they seem to _ rather gone for andrew bailey. they seem to be suggesting this should have happened a year ago. it perhaps would _ have happened a year ago. it perhaps would have _ have happened a year ago. it perhaps would have slow down this jump have happened a year ago. it perhaps would have slow down thisjump in inflatiou _ would have slow down thisjump in inflation. so, ithink would have slow down thisjump in inflation. so, i think it's not very comfortable to be in the bank of england — comfortable to be in the bank of england at the moment. 0ne comfortable to be in the bank of england at the moment. one of the more _ england at the moment. one of the more difficult aspects is to explain

these energy companies are raking it in. it's almost taken as a given. their profits and their margins and what they wish to make out of us is a given. it never changes. they show no social responsibility, and i think that isjust no social responsibility, and i think that is just so catastrophic for the period we're entering, particularly for those have no fair cash, who are absolutely on the brink, and i absolutely think a windfall tax and calling on these companies to be socially responsible after all their pockets have been filled by consumers is something that needs to happen. but what do we have instead with the tory leadership? all they talk about his tax cuts and threatening the independence of the bank of england. so, ijust am shocked that the

company's so, ijust am shocked that the compa ny�*s allowed to so, ijust am shocked that the company's allowed to get away with it at this time in our history. it really isn't acceptable. yasmin, ou've really isn't acceptable. yasmin, you've been _ really isn't acceptable. yasmin, you've been very _ really isn't acceptable. yasmin, you've been very scathing - really isn't acceptable. yasmin, you've been very scathing of. really isn't acceptable. yasmin, | you've been very scathing of the conservative leadership, or lack of it, at this current time. have you heard anything from any politician in any political party? because this is in a recession that started yet. we've been warned it's coming, but it's going to be here for a long time. have you heard anything from any politician? at some point, this could come under control, there is help on its way?— help on its way? there are lots of labour politicians _ help on its way? there are lots of labour politicians who _ help on its way? there are lots of labour politicians who have - help on its way? there are lots of labour politicians who have said i labour politicians who have said stuff, but not keir starmer in the way he needs to be speaking now. he's a good man, and would whatever, but he has to show the kind of

leadership that labour expects him to wreck the present. —— represent. labour was set up for the working class, for the poor. it has always had a vision, and this is the time to speak out and say, "we are technically the sixth richest country in the world and we are about to enter a phase where actual starvation and some families, heat or eat options and a terrible recession is going to be arising. what is labour going to do?" we need some courage here. these are human lives we are talking about.— lives we are talking about. rosa, is that our lives we are talking about. rosa, is that your analysis as _ lives we are talking about. rosa, is that your analysis as well? - lives we are talking about. rosa, is that your analysis as well? well, i l that your analysis as well? well, i have to be — that your analysis as well? well, i have to be neutral, _ that your analysis as well? well, i have to be neutral, so _ that your analysis as well? well, i have to be neutral, so i— that your analysis as well? well, i have to be neutral, so i can't say. have to be neutral, so i can't say that! _ have to be neutral, so i can't say that! i_ have to be neutral, so i can't say that! i do — have to be neutral, so i can't say that! i do think perhaps critics of keir starmer, including yasmin,

fact that the entire globe was staggering for two years. it's a massive problem that you can't blame particular governments or leadership for, but wejust particular governments or leadership for, but we just need help, particular governments or leadership for, but wejust need help, and that's what yasmin is saying. she's talking for a lot of people that want to know what the plan is, what's going to be done, how will they be helped. i think people accept that this recession was probably a long time coming, so it's a difficult time to be in governance right now anywhere in the world. yeah, you look at the leadership contest — yeah, you look at the leadership contest and look at these headlines and think— contest and look at these headlines and think why would anyone want to win? �* , win? laughter that's _ win? laughter that's not - win? laughter that's not a - win? laughter - that's not a great time to win? laughter _ that's not a great time to be a politician! _ shall he have a look at the yorkshire post and cheer ourselves up? climate change is another doom and gloom story that really won't leave us alone and shouldn't. we've

got caught 27 on the way, and years when government plan. —— cop27. can when government plan. -- cop27. can i sa that when government plan. —— cop27. ce”! i say that whilst it is true that the whole world is going through another crisis, we know our recession is going to be much worse than the eu or the us. whether people want me to say this or not, i'll say it anyway — it is time for a little bit more honesty on the long—term effects of brexit. brexit is one part of this really terrible formation that has come our way and is going to make things that much worse. a good government, good leadership, a good team doesn't shy away from issues. i leadership, a good team doesn't shy away from issues.—
