mark urban. thank all of you very much.fairly breezy for some of us, and sunday will remain brisk on the north sea coast, places and on top of that cloudy but there is sunshine in the forecast as well and in fact many western and northern areas will have had clear skies over night and early on sunday morning. that's leading to a touch of frost there in the lowlands of scotland, even the towns and cities of glasgow and edinburgh not far off freezing. we have the wind off the north—east, you can see temperatures holding around double figures early in the morning. so this is what sunday looks like. 0vercast in places across the east of the country. still quite a strong wind blowing out of the north. 15 degrees might look decent on the thermometer but cloud and wind means it will feel chilly. it will be much better in the west here where we will have sunshine. 0ver where we will have sunshine. over the next couple of days, it will start to warm up a little bit with temperatures back up to 18 but from midweek, turning unsettled.

. >> we are joined by the president of the national urban league and mark, the president's words yesterdaye immediately celebrated by the proud boys and other white supremacists online. those words, stand by. it's not the first time the president has balked at the opportunity to explicitly call out these groups. i want to ask your reaction. tell us what it means to you, tell us what it means to members of your group. >> so thank you for having me this morning. it's not just the failure to condemn white supremacists, white militia, the ku klux klan, it's a failure to condemn domestic terrorism. beyond that, this is an active stoking of violence. when you say stand by, you are saying you are stoking violence and division and hatred in this country. the president didn't learn from charlotteville. last night he doubled down on the very same type of message. this is a wink and a nod to the far-right extremists who he is in sicmpatico with, and i guess someone that he thinks he can't win without. it's deeply offensive for these types of groups to be validated and in effect, endorsed. there shoul

things that are not certain any more, swifter century of urban pre—eminence, the carfinds itself ata pre—eminence, the carfinds itself at a crossroads. markbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. viewers it's time for us to have a look at the national and international from look at the national and internationalfrom pages in the pictures. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the director of thejohn smith centre and former leader of the scottish labour party, kezia dugdale and also matt dathan who's deputy political editor of the sun newspaper. tomorrow's front pages, starting with the telegraph says conservative rebels are on the brink of winning their fight for votes on covid restrictions after boris johnson was forced to apologise for not knowing the rules himself. the mirror says the prime minister's gaffe — when he was unable to explain new rules — sparked anger among two million in the north east who face fines if they break local restrictions. the daily mail says a million women have missed out on breast cancer screening

so it is that after a century of urban pre—eminence, the car finds itself at a crossroads. markhe rescue. the great north air ambulance service say this groundbreaking kit could help medics fly to patients trapped on the mountains in 90 seconds rather than taking the long journey by foot. sharon barbour reports from the lake district. it may look like science fiction, but this is real. it's the test flight in the lake district that proved to the great north air ambulance that they could fly their paramedics up mountains to reach critically ill patients. nobody in the world would expect that as an air ambulance, we could get to someone in a jet suit in a matter of minutes and get them some pain relief or ultimately, in the worst cases, save their life, but it's actually possible now. this flight simulated a rescue which on foot would have taken 25 minutes to get up the mountain, but in a jet suit, it tookjust 90 seconds. this is obviously a real kind of sea change in potentially how we deliver remote medicine. and the ability to get someone in a matter of minutes in an environmen

just came here from chicago where we -- me and many other people were marking the centennial of the chicago riot which was the worst urban riot in the united states that year. and it started because of the heat. people -- there was no air-conditioning at that time. and five young teenage african american men snuck through the white neighborhoods of chicago to get to the south side beach, and they went swimming. and they swam in an area that was sort of near the de facto black beach, and the de facto white beach. it was not -- there wasn't legal segregation in chicago, but the raft they were on, they weren't very good swimmers, drifted into the white beach, and that was in this tense period all that was needed to spark a massive race riot. >> that's a wonderful place to start. one of the things i argue about this era at large, so not just 1919 but 1910 and 1920, what we see in this instance of these kids who -- they're children -- playing outdoors, is that we are reminded that the very idea of leisure is contested. the idea of belonging is contested. right? so these children do not belong on that beach, because flree tie
