9:33 pm
show that you are going to use your resources well and that you are going to be around for the long haul. because people recognise this will be a fight in the primary. the question is who will be there at the end of? who traces at the end? you are trying to convince them that you can manage well and you've got the momentum going.— can manage well and you've got the momentum going. momentum is so im ortant. momentum going. momentum is so important. remember, _ momentum going. momentum is so important. remember, he - momentum going. momentum is so important. remember, he is- momentum going. momentum is so important. remember, he is now. momentum going. momentum is so| important. remember, he is now 30 points behind donald trump, the runaway leader at the moment. we have our own super thursday coming up. we've got uxbridge greater london, in somerset, it should give us some indication of which way the political winds are blowing. what are you expecting? i think it's quite hard to tell. there's_ think it's quite hard to tell. there's been a lot of talk about the fact that _ there's been a lot of talk about the fact that rishi sunak's conservative governments don't support all three by elections, but if you talk to mp5 on the _ by elections, but if you talk to mp5 on the ground, there is a? about whether— on the ground, there is a? about whether the london seat that boris johnson _ whether the london seat that boris johnson vacated, whether that might

9:35 pm
he can _ media and everyone actually, maybe he can if— media and everyone actually, maybe he can if they don't lose all three, they may— he can if they don't lose all three, they may be able to turn around and say, welcome actually, we did better than people expected, but only time will tell— than people expected, but only time will tell stop what it is. you're more — will tell stop what it is. you're more optimistic than those around government. there is an awful lot of expectation management going on at the moment as there always is bound by elections. now, listen, what we don't _ by elections. now, listen, what we don't have — by elections. now, listen, what we don't have an uk is a system to elect _ don't have an uk is a system to elect candidates to the upper chamber. the lords, and in the absence — chamber. the lords, and in the absence of— chamber. the lords, and in the absence of that choice can the lords we don t? have a system in the uk to elect candidates to the upper chamber, the lords. and in the absence of choice, the lord speakers committee says the system for appointing peers needs to be overhauled. that might be one way of putting it. a different report by the labour together group concludes that british people? loathe the lords ?and want the whole thing scrapped. which might give a future labour prime minister, were to sir keir starmer, the metaphorical gunpowder to blow it all up. as someone tried to do in 1605. why do you think people are so tired of the lords? is perhaps because of the candidates that boris put forward? , . ~

the candidates that boris put forward? , ., ,, ., , forward? yes, and i think it was already there _ forward? yes, and i think it was already there before _ forward? yes, and i think it was already there before then. - forward? yes, and i think it was | already there before then. there forward? yes, and i think it was i already there before then. there is already there before then. there is a sense that the house of lords is about who you know in british politics, not what you now. so people who go over it like they have much experience but are well connected, able to get into the house of lords and literally vote on lies the rest of us have to pass, whereas great people in other parts of the country possibly not in those kinds of networks completely out of the system. i personally think the house of lords should to be reformed. i think the sooner... it reformed. i think the sooner... it was being reformed. it was being reformed. what they said should happen is that you should have two for every, two should go for everyone a plane in which teresa mae was sticking to it and then along came borisjohnson. was sticking to it and then along came boris johnson.— was sticking to it and then along came boris johnson. came borisjohnson. indeed. ithink there is a general— came boris johnson. indeed. ithink there is a general frustration - came boris johnson. indeed. ithink there is a general frustration on - there is a general frustration on there is a general frustration on the government's side that there is still many, many more labour appears than there are conservative peers. at this almost feels like an
9:37 pm
unsustainable arms race. each prime minister comes in and puts an even more peers, that seems to damage the credibility of the house of lords, and i think it's really been our time to have a look at the whole system to say how can we make this revising chamber for the uk parliament revising chamberfor the uk parliament actually work effectively and have more credibility? amanda, the lords and _ and have more credibility? amanda, the lords and the _ and have more credibility? amanda, the lords and the senate _ and have more credibility? amanda, the lords and the senate in - and have more credibility? amanda, the lords and the senate in the - the lords and the senate in the united states have their similarities. the obvious difference of courses that senators are elected every six years. they have to answer to the public. it wouldn't fly in the united states, what it? his. to the public. it wouldn't fly in the united states, what it? no, but ou do the united states, what it? no, but you do see — the united states, what it? no, but you do see that _ the united states, what it? no, but you do see that it _ the united states, what it? no, but you do see that it matters - the united states, what it? no, but you do see that it matters that - the united states, what it? no, but you do see that it matters that you | you do see that it matters that you have name — you do see that it matters that you have name recognition. it matters that you _ have name recognition. it matters that you have a built—in network of funding _ that you have a built—in network of funding capability. rights, so some of those _ funding capability. rights, so some of those same relationship connections do end up showing up, and it— connections do end up showing up, and it is— connections do end up showing up, and it is why— connections do end up showing up, and it is why you do see certain networks— and it is why you do see certain networks gets represented in the senate _ networks gets represented in the senate or— networks gets represented in the senate or in the house, and that is really— senate or in the house, and that is really the _ senate or in the house, and that is really the work that the united states — really the work that the united states is— really the work that the united states is also doing is how do you expand _ states is also doing is how do you expand the — states is also doing is how do you expand the different kind of people

9:39 pm
them whether it was brags that, whether it was levelling up, whether it was policy areas like the nhs. —— whether it was brexit. i think they're real lessons here for a party that wants to go into government that it should perhaps promise less when it does make promises, have a very clear plan of what it is going to do, how it is going to do it and when the results will be seen by the electorate. i will be seen by the electorate. i was looking, amanda, today at the state of affairs in the united states. this is a chart that... i found. you see the numbers. it won't mean a lot to a lot of people, but what it is as the national average cost per square foot for the new construction of hospitals. and across the united states, it is 15% higher today than it was in 2019, particularly in the bigger cities. they are the biggest losers, la, boston, new york. this is not entirely unique to the uk. their countries all around the world who are suffering because of inflation and the price of building.-

9:41 pm
lot busier as the summer approaches. we are currently seeing massive demand for hackney food bank. so injune this year, we fed twice as many people as we did injune last year. we are expecting to feed over 500 children this summer and we are providing emergency food parcels for around 650 people a week. more donations and voluntary support is desperately needed to meet this growing demand. it's notjust here in hackney where there is an issue. families all across london are facing big challenges due to the cost of living crisis, which is why places like this are so vital for so many. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. welcome back. you may seen today a remarkable story of the australian castaway who has been found alive and well — after surviving two months adrift in the north pacific ocean tim shaddock, who is 51, and from sydney disappeared in april somewhere

9:51 pm
and i think we are doing really well taking them all the way. all the games have been fantastic. they believe in the changing room is that we can win this series 3—2. there is no doubt about that that — we have that in the changing room. england may have lost the women's ashes but they are still aiming to end the series on a high. a three—run win on sunday saw australia retain the ashes, and they lead the multi—format series 8—6 going into tuesday's final one—day international in somerset. but not all is lost asjoe lynskey explains. for england here, it is a case of what might have been. they came so close to setting up this match has a dramatic ashes decider, but a defeat byjust dramatic ashes decider, but a defeat by just three dramatic ashes decider, but a defeat byjust three runs dramatic ashes decider, but a defeat by just three runs yesterday dramatic ashes decider, but a defeat byjust three runs yesterday in south hampton means they come here with australia having already retained the trophy. they now hold and it points to six lead in this multiformat series with the final
9:52 pm
two points on offer for multiformat series with the final two points on offerfor a multiformat series with the final two points on offer for a wing multiformat series with the final two points on offerfor a wing here. that does mean that england can still drive a series, which would prevent australia winning the ashes out right for the third time in a row. england can also was still win 50 of many series, if you like and adjust as they did not 20s. and that will be the motivation for the home site here in somerset, even if it is not quite the same as having the ashes on the line.— not quite the same as having the ashes on the line. making sure that we are in a — ashes on the line. making sure that we are in a good — ashes on the line. making sure that we are in a good place _ ashes on the line. making sure that we are in a good place where - ashes on the line. making sure that we are in a good place where we i ashes on the line. making sure that i we are in a good place where we have parked our feelings about yesterday and, yeah, like you say, using that odi series when potentially as a motivator and everything that we have done before, for pride, a little better. yeah. inspiring and entertaining. little better. yeah. inspiring and entertaining-— little better. yeah. inspiring and entertainint. , entertaining. england will look back on moments _ entertaining. england will look back on moments over— entertaining. england will look back on moments over the _ entertaining. england will look back on moments over the last - entertaining. england will look back on moments over the last three i entertaining. england will look back. on moments over the last three weeks where australia had managed to gain the initiative. the australians taking the four points that go with the test match that started this ashes series. really needed to
9:53 pm
difficult mountain to climb for england to win it outright. in truth, though, there was such an air of invincibility about australia, particularly as they came into the series. so for england to push them so close will be something they look back on with pride, you would think, and something they look to build on here as the series comes to a close. arsenal boss mikel arteta believes his new big money signing declan rice can be the lighthouse that makes the gunners shine. rice completed his move from west ham on saturday in a deal that could rise to £105m. ricejoined the team's pre—season tour of the usa, but was restricted to bike work in washington ahead of arsenal s friendly against wayne rooney s mls all—stars on wednesday. i think every decision we made brings a special thing to the team. he's done tremendously well both for west ham and england national team. it's a team that's going to bring a lot of qualities can a lot of leadership,
9:54 pm
a lot of experience in the league, very specific in the position with the qualities he has. so we are delighted to have him. novak djokovic has been fined 6,000 pounds for smashing his racquet into the net post during his wimbledon final defeat to carlos alcaraz. djokovic was beaten in five—sets — his first loss on centre court in a decade. the money will be deducted from his runner—up cheque of £1.175m. britain's aled davies has claimed a fifth world title in a row after grabbing gold in the shot put on the final day of the world pa ra—athletics championships. the welshman led the f63 event from the start, with his best throw coming a metre ahead of his nearest rival. davies' first title was ten years ago and he's recovered from an injurt—hit winter to make these championships. britain finished fourth overall, with 29 medals. hasn't quite sunk in yet. but, you
9:55 pm
know, it has been a very turbulent couple of years. i put everything i got into this. i love my craft and i've always wanted to push the boundaries. still dominating ten years on truly is incredible, to be honest. i still have unfinished business. the event i really think can kick on, i know i am coming back next year to win a world record. i went to obliterate that record and go towards 18 or 19 metres. congratulations to him. that is the latest from the bbc sport centre. good evening. there is no sign of any of the heat that's been affecting southern europe heading our way any time soon. but that is probably a good thing when you look at the temperatures that affected large parts of the south of europe and indeed
9:56 pm
the north of africa during today, temperatures into the middle 40s celsius. but that heat is being trapped in southern europe and north africa. thejet stream is running just about here. to the south of it, a persistent area of high pressure feeding in that warmth. to the north of it, an area of low pressure which today has been bringing us north—westerly winds, quite a cool feel to the weather and also quite a few showers, as you can see on our earlier satellite and radar picture. but those showers are now fading in many places. so overnight we're going to be largely dry with some clear spells, although you can see behind me, cloud getting back into northern ireland, parts of wales, maybe the south—west of england later in the night, ahead of some outbreaks of rain. a rather chilly night in north—east scotland, maybe down to four or five degrees. and for tomorrow, well, here's our weather maker — this weather system, an area of low pressure pushing its way in from the west. and this is going to bring some outbreaks of rain. in fact, some quite heavy rain in places to start the day across northern ireland, some of that rain getting into parts of north—west wales.
9:57 pm
it's going to turn very wet across northern england and also in southern scotland. i think south—west scotland may see some of the wettest weather of all, but to the south of that, some hazy sunshine, and with more of a southerly wind, actually a warmer feel, 23 to 2a degrees. stuck under the cloud and rain, maybejust14 or 15, a slightly drier day than it has been today in the north of scotland. and then as we head through tuesday night, well, that rain could persist for a while in parts of southern scotland, north—east england, then tending to pull away into the north sea. some clear spells elsewhere. and these are the starting temperatures for wednesday, generally between 8 and 1a degrees. now, as we head deeper into the week, we'll see that weather system running away eastwards. high pressure trying to build from the west, but not making a lot of progress. and actually later in the week, it could well be that low pressure starts to return. so what does that mean for our weather? well, it means it is going to stay quite changeable, quite showery and rather cool for the time of year as well. temperatures as we get into the weekends between 16 and 22 degrees. bye for now.
