10:21 pm

10:23 pm
there's nothing we can do for you. "there's your care nurse. cheerio. "go and try and find your own cure." so, yes, it was quite a concerning time but i still had a smile on my face. weir channelled that spirit into his own foundation. he even had his own trophy and he raised millions for research into mnd. the 2019 helen rollason award recipient is doddie weir! - his campaigning won him both awards and huge affection, this larger than life character with an irrepressible spirit. i've been involved in sport for a long time, and what it does show you is you've got a bit of spirit, a bit of fight, and my fight�*s to try and find a cure for mnd. and while his health deteriorated, that spark never left him, as when he was awarded an honorary degree and offered the students this advice... so, if things don't go your way, don't give up. oh, yes, and one more thing.

10:27 pm
hello, it's not been a pleasant day today. grey skies and outbreaks of rain. a bit better tomorrow but for the rest of this evening and overnight we can expect more rain. having said that. later in the night the weather should start to improve across northern and western areas of the uk. this is the weather front that crossing the country right now. that is the centre of low pressure that weather front will sweep over us through the course of this evening and the first part of the night. and then the early hours of sunday morning we will see the weather improving across the western and northwestern part of the uk. this is what it looks like over the next few hours. the rain will not clear east anglia and the southeast. that's where it was stalled early on sunday morning. elsewhere, where it is dry on sunday morning it will be a little colder. 6 degrees celsius and more like 11 in the london area. this weather front will drag its heels. it's what we call a waving front, it wobbles a little and does not want to clear away towards the east. so that doesn't mean that
10:28 pm
in east anglia and the southeast. in fact, probably from central to southern england and possibly even into lincolnshire a bit of uncertainty here. it could be raining through most of the day and certainly in kent you are in for a wet day. elsewhere across the country it would be a bright day with scattered clouds and occasional showers in the west. it ruled will remain blustery. not particularly cold though. tomorrow evening you can see that rain still in kent and sussex. just about clearing the coast of east anglia out in the west we will have more showers. monday and tuesday we will see high—pressure building in from the south west. this ridge of high—pressure means that things dry out. the weather front, or remnants of it, still out in the north sea. but this ridge builds in and that will keep things settled at least for most of us on monday, certainly by tuesday. most of us are in that drier, clear weather. i say clearer, there will be sunshine around on monday. and indeed on tuesday. in places it would be quite foggy, and murky in the morning. where the fog persist it could end up being pretty cold. i think, on balance it is around eight to 10 degrees as far
10:29 pm
as the week ahead is concerned. goodbye. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are emma woolf, author and journalist, and martin bentham, the home affairs editor of the london evening standard. tomorrow's front pages, then. the observer brands a post—brexit trade deal made with japan after brexit a "failure". the paper calls it a blow to brexit and quotes figures that suggest exports have fallen since the deal came into force.

10:30 pm
is collapsing" is the warning from the royal college of emergency medicine, that's carried by the sunday telegraph. the front page of the sunday express claims that military accommodation will be used to house the backlog of asylum—seekers who have arrived in brtiain. the sunday times has that report that we've been covering today into racism and misogyny at the london fire brigade. the paper says other organisations, including the bbc and nhs, could face similar investigations. the sun on sunday claims there's a row between prince andrew and westminster. it says that the prince has been told by ministers that he is to lose his police guard. ahead of tomorrow's i'm a celebrity finale, the sunday mirror calls contestantjill scott a winner already and expects her to "score millions" with offers flooding in for after she leaves the jungle.
