is already facing winter pressures — with people being told to avoid a&e. the i leads on the tory leadership campaign — "truss blow: voters want hand—outs, not tax cuts" its headline. in the guardian, "nhs cannot be put on a pedestal" — quoting after prime ministerial candidate liz truss, who — the paper says — called for cuts. the daily mail tomorrow has an attack on nhs, accusing the health service of spending £1 million on "woke groups" for their staff. on the front page of the mirror, "fergie�*s case for the defence" — after former manchester united manager sir alex ferguson testified in the ryan giggs trial. the express says the migrant crisis to last at least five more years. and finally, the financial times�* weekend pages carry a warning about a market rally from the bankers of wall street. do you want to kick us off with the front page of the times? michael gove bows out with a potshot of liz

11:39 pm
announcement was that a conservative government would usually attack such a ly wreck announcement, they would could decides it, they would say what is awful, but because the government is industry short of standby mode, a so—called zombie government, it is not in a position to retaliate —— a labour announcement, they would criticise it. does this poll give labour confidence? what is interesting in labour is that... i think keir starmer said this recently. he said not long ago, he hoped labour would win the next election scheduled for 2024, but now he expects to win that general election or thinks labour can win the general election. it is much more of a possibility now rather than a sort of... aspiration. yeah, and — rather than a sort of... aspiration. yeah, and aspiration, _ rather than a sort of... aspiration. yeah, and aspiration, a _ rather than a sort of... aspiration. yeah, and aspiration, a sort - rather than a sort of... aspiration. yeah, and aspiration, a sort of - yeah, and aspiration, a sort of distant ambition, and when you look at those economically mentals and what the next prime minister has to

11:41 pm
mean that she endorses every single proposal, which we can sit here and... �* , and... laughter argue _ and. . . laughter argue about, - and. . . laughter argue about, but| and... laughter . argue about, but the and... laughter _ argue about, but the bigger picture is this. don't get me wrong, i think she is going to be the next prime minister, it could be problematic because she has come under criticism already for describing hand—outs and how she would give hand—outs to people in the cost—of—living crisis, so there is a risk of liz truss being very popular with the tory membership. but if more statement like this are to emerge, that it could be a situation where our next prime minister is very in line with tory members, who are very particular group of people, but very out of step with the general public on the biggest issues facing the country the moment. i do on the biggest issues facing the country the moment.— on the biggest issues facing the country the moment. i do not how you retard country the moment. i do not how you re . ard the country the moment. i do not how you regard the story _ country the moment. i do not how you regard the story sometimes, - regard the story sometimes, benedicte, because you are french...

a devastating spell by anrich norkyear after lunch put south africa in full control. three wickets, including the key one ofjonny bairstow, left england on 86—3. there was brief resistance from stuart broad before he went for 35 off the bowling of kagiso rabada. and south africa made quick work of the tail, marco jansen taking the final wicket ofjimmy anderson to seal victory and ben stokes' first defeat as england test captain. but he is looking to put things right at old trafford next week. over the three days, whenever they were batting or bowling, whatever we threw at them, they seemed to counteract that. so obviously got to give them a lot of credit. but, yeah, it was an off game for us, and that's absolutely fine. i am not going to be

11:55 pm
now, cycling superman tried something else. he'd raced just twice this year on mountain bike, so would start way down the field. but still, on tracks like this, he went past 30 riders and from the front pushed again, this time not through the alps but around laps of munich's skyline. by the last few laps, he was so far clear. watch the top of the screen. it's not a bird or a plane. pidcock won this race at the olympics. now, he's european champion. he does it all and still, at 23, is understated. yeah, it was a pretty hard race. i mean, i kind of made it hard for myself, because on this course, with that speed, yeah, riding out front by myself, it makes it all that much harder, but, yeah, i felt pretty good.
11:56 pm
so it's yeah, nice to be back, i guess. he is the first british man to win this title, and he wants more this year. next up, it is world championships on cross country and the road. in this career, the medals could get hard to count. all tom pidcock needs is two wheels. joe lynskey, bbc news. finally, we've had the weigh—in for tomorrow night's heavyweight rematch between anthonyjoshua and olexander usyk in saudi arabia. there had been talk of usyk, the world champion, bulking up but he's around the same weight as the last time they fought, joshua 23 pounds heavier than his ukrainian opponent, who is defending the wba, wbo and ibf titles, the belts he took from joshua 11 months ago in london. lots more on the bbc sport website, but that's all the sport for now. hello there. we ended the week with some warm sunshine but some showers, mainly in the north, close to an area of low pressure. and that same area of low pressure is sitting in the same place
11:57 pm
for the start of the weekend. but around the base of it, we've got this weather front thickening the cloud, bringing some rain and some stronger winds as well. ahead of that, with some clear skies in england and wales, it'll be a cooler start on saturday morning, significantly cooler than the previous night in southeastern parts of england. some sunshine for england and wales, one or two showers pushing across in the morning, ahead of this main band of rain that's heavy for a while, accompanied by some strong and gusty winds, sweeping away from scotland and northern ireland, followed by sunshine and a few showers. that rain band is quite narrow, but it could be quite heavy rain as it gets stuck in northern england. elsewhere for england and wales, some sunny spells, just one or two showers, but most places will be dry. and temperatures very similar to what we had on friday, so getting up to the mid—20s at best. that area of low pressure will keep the showers going into the first part of the night. across scotland, another area of low pressure moving very slowly in from the atlantic will push a lot of cloud ahead of it. it means the sunnier skies probably
11:58 pm
further north this time on sunday. those showers easing in scotland. sunny spells here, some sunshine for northern ireland, the far north of england for a while. other parts of england and wales probably turning more cloudy, the cloud thickening to give a bit of rain and drizzle, mostly for western wales and southwest england, where temperatures will struggle to around 20 degrees. once again, we're 18 or 19 for scotland and northern ireland. the cloud continues to thicken on sunday night. we start to see a bit more rain proper coming in from the atlantic as that low pressure heads in from the west. having said that, there will be little or no rain for northern parts of scotland, some patchy rain elsewhere, the odd heavier burst for a while. nothing particularly organised, mind you. and some western areas should turn drier and brighter through the afternoon. temperature—wise, making 23 again across southern england and south wales and 18 in the central belt of scotland. now, into next week, this is where the jet stream is going to be positioned. it may start to buckle a little bit, but it does mean that any warm air is stuck in the southeast of england, confined to the southeast, and no heatwave on the way by any means. temperatures near normal for this time of the year.
11:59 pm
monday looks the wetter day. after that, it looks mostly dry, and there will be some sunshine from time to time.
