here's tomasz schafernaker. that weekend is looking reliably sunny. the rainfall has been unreliable for such a long time. a bit of rainfall in the forecast but thatis bit of rainfall in the forecast but that is mostly for western scotland. let's skip to the forecast straightaway with the morning temperatures on saturday. ranging from around 8 degrees up to 12, a bit of a nip in the air particularly in rural spots. the forecast for saturday, cloudy for northern ireland, scotland, the north of northern england, some rain earlier but the sun should come through the clouds. elsewhere, england and wales, sunny and very warm with temperatures up to 25 in london but a fresher 17 in glasgow and edinburgh. more of the same on sunday, reliably sunny across england and wales. a little bit more clout across scotland and northern ireland, may be some spots of rain but are starting to turn warmer. 27

in london and the mid 20s across parts of yorkshire. the big picture across our neck of the woods and how the weather systems will pass over the weather systems will pass over the next week or so. notice how this rain and wind at superhighway shoots off towards the north—east, completely missing most of the uk. that's because we have an area of high pressure here that is basically steering the weather fronts away from us and that's why we have that sunny and very dry weather. not only that, as we head into next week and the end of next week, we will draw in a hot air from the end of next week, we will draw in a hot airfrom the near the end of next week, we will draw in a hot air from the near continent and it looks like it'll come from the east and south—east and we will see hot weather across parts of wales and the south—west of england. looking at some of the major towns and cities. cardiff, hot weather, 30. london probably mid 30s possible. warming up in edinburgh and belfast and a lot of dry weather. thanks, tomasz.

and that's bbc news at ten. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight, 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 for the news where you are. but from the ten team, it's goodnight. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. wa nt to want to bring you some breaking news, this is about ah chee it is coming from a charity that has been working with the battersby family, the organisation, christian concern. they have told the bbc that the family have been told by the

hospital, the royal london where he is being treated, that their son, archie, he was 12, the life support will be withdrawn tomorrow, saturday. christian concern say it follows the exhaustion of all legal roots. the royal london hospital, where he has been treated since april when he was found unconscious at home, has not confirmed if over an life—support treatment will be ended. christian concern told the bbc the family are devastated and are spending precious time with archie. that is the latest, it is unconfirmed by the hospital. they say that patient confidentiality, which means they do not discuss individual cases. this has come from the organisation, christian concern have been working with archie's family. let's move on and look at what is in the papers tomorrow. with me are anna mikhailova, the deputy political editor for the mail on sunday,

and aubrey allegretti, who's the political correspondent at the guardian. we are beginning with the mirror. dust bowl uk, as this is amid the drought fears,. the ft — liz truss rejects �*handouts' as the best way to help households through the worst income squeeze in 60 years. she promises instead tax cuts and radical eco—nomic reform. in the i — business chief criticises "vacuum" at heart of the government with the prime minister and chancellor missing, as uk braces for an economic storm amid cost of living crisis. the telegraph says that the nhs111 system has been crippled by a cyber attack that has left patients struggling to get urgent appointments. according to the express — archie battersbee's family prepares to say their final goodbyes as their battle to keep him alive may be reaching the end.

mirror's headline, dust bowl uk. it sums up the images of the great depression in the 1930s in the united states and we are heading to the economic reporting which takes us to the financial times and a very long recession, if the governor of the bank of england is to be believed. liz truss insists on tax cuts instead of hand—outs? she believed. liz truss insists on tax cuts instead of hand-outs? she is very much — cuts instead of hand-outs? she is very much trying _ cuts instead of hand-outs? she is very much trying to _ cuts instead of hand-outs? she is very much trying to say _ cuts instead of hand-outs? she is very much trying to say the - cuts instead of hand-outs? she is very much trying to say the way i cuts instead of hand-outs? she is l very much trying to say the way she thinks _ very much trying to say the way she thinks that— very much trying to say the way she thinks that people will be help most over the _ thinks that people will be help most over the next two years is for them to be _ over the next two years is for them to be given — over the next two years is for them to be given tax cuts rather than kind _ to be given tax cuts rather than kind of— to be given tax cuts rather than kind of given payments here and there. _ kind of given payments here and there, sticking plasters, as they are often— there, sticking plasters, as they are often referred to. she is laying out that _ are often referred to. she is laying out that and trying not to be too beaten — out that and trying not to be too beaten down by the gloomy and depressing warnings we had from the bank of— depressing warnings we had from the bank of england this week about the 15 month— bank of england this week about the

policy—making and those, like andrew bailey, the current governor who has beenin bailey, the current governor who has been in the financial services authority before the bank of england, who are signed up to this agenda and this approach to handling the economy and how independent central bank can be in the future? there are two things, tension with the bank of england is no bad thing, you could argue. considering quite a lot of the situation we are in has been partly down to mishandling and the runes by the bank of england. yes, there has obviously been a geopolitical shock this year, but energy prices were predicted to go up energy prices were predicted to go up a year ago, inflation was predicted to go up off the back of covid and off the back of a decade of easy money. the covid and off the back of a decade of easy money-— of easy money. the fed in united states faces _ of easy money. the fed in united states faces the _ of easy money. the fed in united states faces the same _ of easy money. the fed in united l states faces the same accusations? absolutely and that has been one of

the criticisms, central banks across the criticisms, central banks across the world have been... after the financial crash they were printing money and printing money and unlike what was predicted by monetarist, it didn't increase inflation. they thought we were in a period of endless low inflation never mind how much money they printed. a lot of people said, you have got to be kidding me? now suddenly we are seeing it is not all that simple and inflation is going up and it is getting out of control. and even since it started to clearly go up, there has been criticism the bank has been too slow in raising its rates. people are saying, even yesterday's rate rise is still too little, too late. that is interesting and the tension will be there. what liz truss is saying

about reforming the bank of england and its mandate is a huge deal. it doesn't, to me, look like a thought through policy, but we shall see and essentially there is a slight difference between what we are hearing now in terms of true blue conservatism from liz truss in trying to win the hearts of conservative members and what she is going to be faced with if she comes into number ten, going to be faced with if she comes into numberten, if going to be faced with if she comes into number ten, if she is presented with the numbers and the reality of the economic crisis, it is going to be very, very hard to start ignoring just how much people are suffering. this thing she is saying about no hand—outs, let'sjust this thing she is saying about no hand—outs, let's just see this thing she is saying about no hand—outs, let'sjust see how this thing she is saying about no hand—outs, let's just see how much that holds? hand-outs, let's 'ust see how much that holds?— hand-outs, let's 'ust see how much that hows?— that holds? particularly if the tublic that holds? particularly if the public mood _ that holds? particularly if the public mood becomes - that holds? particularly if the | public mood becomes difficult that holds? particularly if the - public mood becomes difficult again through by—elections or local elections in the spring and all the other measures of it and the government wants to go to the country possibly next year,
