10:30 pm
oh, you sexy beast. the actor leslie phillips, who's died at the age of 98. time for a look at the weather. here's louise lear. good evening, if you can open the curtains before going to bed, you might get a glimpse of the amazing full moon at the moment. clear skies for some but not all, we still have a few scattered showers around, most of them to the far north and west and they will tend to linger going through the night along that south coast. but we keep clearer skies, the wind direction changing a little in the last day and that will allow temperatures to cool down to single figures. a bit more chilly first thing tomorrow and hopefully a bit
10:31 pm
drier as well put the lighter winds to begin with. those shows are lingering in the far south—east and a few scattered showers but the winds will ease in the afternoon across england and wales, the showers becoming few and far between. more persistent showers in the far north of scotland, still incredibly mild for this time of year, 11—15 through the middle of the afternoon. but milder still as high pressure pushes in and it will block these weather fronts that will sit in the far north—west. also, it will drag up this very warm air coming all the way from africa so over the next few days, milder still, can you believe? at this time of year, that south—westerly flow will drag a lot of cloud, some mist and drizzle on western coasts, some very heavy rain sitting in the northern and western isles accompanied by winds up to 70 mph but look at the temperatures,
10:32 pm
11-17 , that is 63 but look at the temperatures, ii—i7 , that is 63 fahrenheit. warm by day but even warmer through the night. record november minimums looking around 15 or 16 degrees across the country but look at this, as we start friday morning, we maik twelsiek some record—breaking temperatures through the night, with the highest minimum is about record at —— we may well see record—breaking temperatures. thanks, louise. and that's bbc news at ten on tuesday the 8th of november. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight with victoria derbyshire which is just getting underway on bbc two. they will be talking about sir gavin williamson and his resignation. 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.
10:33 pm
hello, welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster and psychotherapist, lucy beresford, and the former trade minister, lord digbyjones. tomorrow because my front pages, then. let's have a look. —— tomorrow's. the guardian leads on this evening's �*dramatic�* resignation of government minister sir gavin williamson, after allegations reported by the paper that williamson had told a senior civil service the daily mail the i also splashes on tonight's breaking news of the resignation of williamson, who is facing a bullying inquiry — citing claims he is a security risk. the metro also leads on the resignation of williamson, linking it with matt hancock's stint
10:34 pm
in the jungle the express meanwhile credits the paper's own campaign to protect its readers�* pensions, reporting that sunak is likely to inflation—proof state pension rises in next week's autumn budget. discount supermarkets like aldi and lidl are anticipating record profits this christmas as shoppers hit by the cost of living crisis switch to cheaper food essentials, says city am. including christmas dinner. let us begin and start with the a news for paper. it leaves with gavin williamson's resignation. williamson resigns amid bullying and new security risk claims, and perhaps you're only a prime minister when you have a cabinet resignation on your hands. yes, although one wouldn't expect that this quickly. it's barely two weeks since rishi sunak stood outside number ten and spoke about the need for integrity and politics,
10:35 pm
so it's in fort —— concurrently unfortunate that the person whose resigned is going because of some serious allegations of bullying. you talk about how the front pages had to be rewritten, but i think for the whole of today, the direction of travel about this story has really only been going in one direction, particularly when you think about the high political cost to keep gavin williamson and post. we have prime minister's questions tomorrow, the leader of the opposition was bounded to be asking questions about the story because it's really been what everyone has been talking about in the media and in political circles because the bullying was so explicit, the texts and whatsapp messages that had been released even before today were really quite shocking, really quite disgusting, and then we had a former chief whip
10:36 pm
going on the record in an interview with channel 4 news tonight actually giving more details about gavin williamson's alleged behaviour. he of course denies any wrongdoing and wants to fight to clear his name. perhaps it could be said that the writing was notjust in the text and messages, but for gavin williamson, on the wall. it’s messages, but for gavin williamson, on the wall-— on the wall. it's a very interesting oint. on the wall. it's a very interesting point- the — on the wall. it's a very interesting point- the papers _ on the wall. it's a very interesting point. the papers were _ on the wall. it's a very interesting point. the papers were probably i point. the papers were probably preparing for this story anyway, and then the resignation slightly alter that. let's bring in the guardian. 0n the front page, there's a picture of gavin williamson in whitehall on monday. it has the quote, "unethical, immoral." i think it's a quote from the former deputy to gavin williamson. lord digbyjones, we know that she flips have to impose discipline, hence the word whip, but surely there is difference

programme. it is causing a stir in his constituency, but within the wider mp fraternity, it's fair to say because people are saying mps should be in the house of commons doing thejob of should be in the house of commons doing the job of works as opposed to flaunting themselves around the world on a reality tv show. but it also begs the question, what life lies open to an mp when their career is perhaps over? i suppose gavin williamson is one of those mps where people were surprised at quite how many lives he appeared to have, because as digby was saying, he already scorned many people by losing hisjob. any parent in the country, if you mention the name gavin williamson, will basically laugh in yourface because he was such an unimpressive... it would be
