their teams are going for a third world cup crown and quite simply, it's too close to call. many thanks, dan roan reporting. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. this cold spell goes on and on the time being we are firmly stuck in the deep freeze with these northerly winds ringing that very cold air. but there are signs of a change. through the next few days, we see some milder air pushing in with these south—westerly winds and that will make it feel very different, particularly at the start of next week. south—west england could see temperatures of 16 degrees but with that, some wind and rain. but in the short term, look at these temperatures, this is what we have out there right now. quite widely around —8 — —10 celsius, not quite as cold for some eastern and northern coast because we have some

more cloud here and wintry showers put it further snow in northern scotland and some icy stretches where we have those showers falling onto very cold ground. tomorrow we will keep some wintry showers, further snow showers in parts of scotland, rain, sleet and snow in northern ireland at the far west of wales and down some north sea coast but elsewhere, looking at a crisp winter sunshine. but elsewhere, looking at a crisp wintersunshine. it but elsewhere, looking at a crisp winter sunshine. it will not help the temperatures much, after the frosty start, after new highs of 1-5 . on frosty start, after new highs of 1—5. on friday, this system could cause some headaches in parts of scotland, particular in central scotland, particular in central scotland with a mix of rain, sleet and snow giving rise to ice and some about wintry weather might come into northern ireland could do elsewhere, spells of sunshine and signed over the temperatures nudging upwards, just a little. on saturday, some showers, some wintry but on sunday, here comes the big change with this band of rain, it may be some snow on its leading edge for a time but as its leading edge for a time but as it works its way in, it will turn

much milder, at least for the start of next week. thanks, ben. and that's bbc news at ten on wednesday the 14th of december. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight with which is just getting underway on bbc two. that is with victoria derbyshire. 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 is the former british

ambassador to the united states, lord kim darroch and the home affairs editor at the evening standard, martin bentham. but first let's take a look at tomorrow's front pages just walking home�* the metro leads on the killer of law graduate zara aleena being sentenced to life in prison. meanwhile the mirror declares its support for striking nurses with the words �*we are with you'. so does the express — urging the government to give nurses a deal �*to end the madness�*. the i focuses on the cry for help from a migrant boat which sank in the channel — killing four people. the times also touches on the story. the financial times looks ahead to tomorrow's interest rate decision — suggesting the bank of england may follow the us federal reserve in putting up rates by 0.5% and the telegraph's back page focuses on french footbal star kylian mbappe as his side prepare to taken on lionel messi's argentina

on sunday following their 2—0 victory over morocco. so that was a little flavour of the papers good evening to both of you. i wonder if laura derek he could kick us off with the front page of the metro. with the perfect story of zara aleena who was murdered walking home. training to be a solicitor and we had the sentencing today. figs home. training to be a solicitor and we had the sentencing today. as you sa it's a we had the sentencing today. as you say it's a horrific _ we had the sentencing today. as you say it's a horrific story _ we had the sentencing today. as you say it's a horrific story and the - say it's a horrific story and the details are quite appalling. the individual has been sentence. and the sentence is life with a minimum of 38 years which is about i guess as much as anyone gets. he has a miserable history with lots of

violence and his family. what i think will excite a certain amount of controversy is he was out on probation from a prison sentence he was serving. he had already actually broken his bail conditions. and there are bound to be questions about whether he should be out on the streets given that almost the moment he was out he eventually assaulted and murdered zara aleena. so i think it's a story that will it run a bit. because people are bound to ask us questions.— to ask us questions. these are questions _ to ask us questions. these are questions we _ to ask us questions. these are questions we keep _ to ask us questions. these are questions we keep hearing - to ask us questions. these are questions we keep hearing as| to ask us questions. these are - questions we keep hearing as time and time again aren't they marching? they are. in this case the problem i surlpose _ they are. in this case the problem i suppose. there is an issue about the had missed _ suppose. there is an issue about the had missed to probation appointments

aggressive — clearly had a history to a degree of aggressive behaviour towards women. there _ aggressive behaviour towards women. there were _ aggressive behaviour towards women. there were no previous sexual offending _ there were no previous sexual offending in his case. so he's not quite _ offending in his case. so he's not quite like — offending in his case. so he's not quite like some of the hideous cases that have _ quite like some of the hideous cases that have been where people have been _ that have been where people have been corrected of an already serious crime _ been corrected of an already serious crime and _ been corrected of an already serious crime and came back and committed another— crime and came back and committed another one. there is obviously a long—standing problem with what has happened _ long—standing problem with what has happened to him whether he has been rehabilitated and the level of the sentence — rehabilitated and the level of the sentence he has had. but most offences— sentence he has had. but most offences he has committed a period not to _ offences he has committed a period not to be _ offences he has committed a period not to be of— offences he has committed a period not to be of the most highest or severe _ not to be of the most highest or severe and, therefore he would've come _ severe and, therefore he would've come out — severe and, therefore he would've come out from all of them at some point _ come out from all of them at some point the — come out from all of them at some point. the question is perhaps what is happening to prison is to people like him _ is happening to prison is to people like him who potentially are violent and have _ like him who potentially are violent and have a — like him who potentially are violent and have a propensity for violence of one _ and have a propensity for violence of one sort — and have a propensity for violence of one sort or the other? not been addressed — of one sort or the other? not been addressed in prison or probably qettinq — addressed in prison or probably getting worse and coming out and suddenly— getting worse and coming out and suddenly escalate into this hideous murder _ suddenly escalate into this hideous murder. just suddenly escalate into this hideous murder. , , ., ., ., ., murder. just before we move on from this. what murder. just before we move on from this- what did — murder. just before we move on from

but a lot of public sense of sympathy for the nurses. a soul and opinion pulled a few weeks ago in november we said over 50% of the british public supported the strike and 25% were opposed to it. that being said there was also at interview saying that action for a 17% rise was too much. i think you have note the express on one side and the mirror on the other two politically different newspapers both supporting the nurses on the front page. there is further evidence of where the public opinion lies. now we have to see if it stays like this as these extracts progress. because there is another front—page headline seen nurses are threatening longer periods of strike

in the future. whether the meeting these levels of public support. if that happens i'm not sure. 17,000 operations and appointments have been lost today in the nhs was up and there is already a massive backlog. so it's not much help that and we have to see how public opinion develops on this. yes marching. the express says give nurses a deal and stop this madness. we have keir starmer describing what is happening as a badge of shame for the government. yes is happening as a badge of shame for the government.— is happening as a badge of shame for the government. yes you would expect the government. yes you would expect the mirror to — the government. yes you would expect the mirrorto be _ the government. yes you would expect the mirror to be submitted _ the mirror to be submitted sympathetic for sure. the daily express— sympathetic for sure. the daily express being sympathetic to the strike _ express being sympathetic to the strike is— express being sympathetic to the strike is well it is interesting because _ strike is well it is interesting because they are normally a government supporting paper. i think what a _ government supporting paper. i think what a lot— government supporting paper. i think what a lot of people have sympathy with nurses and what they do. the pay demand they are making it does

seem _ pay demand they are making it does seem to _ pay demand they are making it does seem to be — pay demand they are making it does seem to be very high and we out of line even— seem to be very high and we out of line even with the demands of other striking _ line even with the demands of other striking striking in other professions and walks of business. so it might — professions and walks of business. so it might be a question of if you have things like cancer surgery been cancelled _ have things like cancer surgery been cancelled whether, as lord darroch said whether it's public sympathy change — said whether it's public sympathy change. because you meet have difficulty— change. because you meet have difficulty being sympathetic when terrible _ difficulty being sympathetic when terrible stories emerge. sometimes it can _ terrible stories emerge. sometimes it can be _ terrible stories emerge. sometimes it can be distracting people or the people _ it can be distracting people or the people who are held responsible for not cuffing up the money who are in charge of— not cuffing up the money who are in charge of solvent that feel the opinion— charge of solvent that feel the opinion of the public. so a it is the public— opinion of the public. so a it is the public will suffer. high-stakes for the people _

the public will suffer. high-stakes for the people but _ the public will suffer. high-stakes for the people but also _ the public will suffer. high-stakes for the people but also height - for the people but also height stakes politically. what you think of the steve barclay is handling of the situation lord derek? he of the steve barclay is handling of the situation lord derek?- the situation lord derek? he had tou~h the situation lord derek? he had tough comments _ the situation lord derek? he had tough comments and _ the situation lord derek? he had tough comments and extremelyl the situation lord derek? he had - tough comments and extremely firm in his position in. i can see why he might do that. the fact is that nurses along with the rest of the people who work in nhs. i mean, the glow of their performance and heroism to be frank during the covert crisis. it may have lessened a little but it is still there. i think it is risky for politicians to sound quite uncompromising. but again we would have to see how this develops. i think if i were advising to tone it down a bit.—
