Start saturday, we start the weekend with some bright spells, occasional glimpses of sunshine, a few showers around, it looks like a lot of these are going to fade the rain pushing into ward southern england and south wales, this could be quite heavy in places. Again, this is where we have saturated ground and flooding in some places, that isnt going to help. Uncertainty about how far north that will go, pulling away on sunday, and then on sunday to sunny spells, a few showers, most of these across western parts of the uk, and temperatures into single figures for most of us now, not too far from average for this time of year. Lets ta ke average for this time of year. Lets take a picture on sunday into monday, low pressure to the north of us, this north westerly blow setting up us, this north westerly blow setting up around that, and to the further south you are, more rain. It may just be the Channel Islands but many friends to southern counties of england. We will watch that on monday, elsewhere, a few showers, more especially towards North Western areas, the most frequent coming into western parts of scotland. That takes us on tuesday, christmas eve. We have that north westerly flow, bright breezy colours for many of us, so was more targeted to the north west and look how great is at stage across southern parts of wales and england. Again, mainly single figures. Lets ta ke again, mainly single figures. Lets take a look at the jet stream. There are some changes as we go deeper into next week, this north westerly flow initially, bright, breezy and showery at the start of the week but thenit showery at the start of the week but then it looks like this bulge in the jet stream, a ridge of High Pressure will move in. Some uncertainty about how much of you get up, but when you see anything like that, it does mean there is going to be more settled weather for a there is going to be more settled weatherfor a time. This is our christmas week. We noticed it starts showery but it turns with High Pressure building in, drier. It will feel colder but temperatures close to average. Dog patches building and frost for some of us. So, no festive gift in terms of snow, while widespread next week, but an end to the rain. This hello. This is bbc news with shaun ley. Well be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. First the headlines. More than thirty bills have been announced, with seven covering the uks depature from the eu. A cash injection for the nhs is to be made law there were also promises of safer streets with the recruitment of more Police Officers and tougher action on the most dangerous criminals. Scotlands first minister, Nicola Sturgeon has set out her plans for another independence referendum, and has warned borisjohnson not to block the will of the scottish people. The watchdog that oversees complaints in the armed forces has called on the ministry of defence to do more to tackle racism. New figures reveal the worst ever performance at accident and emergency units in welsh hospitals. Less than 75 of patients were seen within four hours in november. Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are the talkradio presenter, daisy mcandrew, and sian griffiths, education families editor at the sunday times. Nice to have you both with us. Many of tomorrows front pages are already in. The telegraph splashes with what it calls the governments radical queens speech. Borisjohnsons smile contrasting sharply with Jeremy Corbyns stony expression. That same striking image dominates the guardian, with attention drawn to the dismay felt by labour mps at the significant changes made to the brexit withdrawal bill since the tory election victory. The mails reports a demand from the Health Minister for all nhs staff to get the flu vaccine, revealing that one in four Health Workers havent yet had it. The metro carries the tragic story of a 47 year old woman who died on the pavement from a cardiac arrest after falling over and waiting six hours for an ambulance to arrive. And the fts front page is dominated by its report that former head of the Financial Conduct AuthorityAndrew Bailey is favourite to replace mark carney as governor of the bank of england. There will be an announcement tomorrow. The times says that the bank of england faces scrutiny over a Security Breach that gave traders early access to market information. And the sun leads with the news that wayne rooney has a tunnel underneath his house linking the main house to his garage. No danger of wayne rooney getting wet than i have to say, it looks like, that wonderful song, why does it always rain on me forfour like, that wonderful song, why does it always rain on me for fourJeremy Corbyn because it looks like hes having a horrible day. Most of the papers prominent. That mischievous expression on Boris Johnsons papers prominent. That mischievous expression on borisjohnsons face as well. Watch it on the telly and Jeremy Corbyn striding ahead, refusing to look at borisjohnson let alone talk to him. Which is not tradition. You put aside. Even the least sociable of Prime Minister would still make the effort to talk. Maybe not margaret thatcher. That is the body language. Very revealing. It is kind of a weird queens speech because we have had it all before eight weeks ago. The difference is that the last queens speech number took any notice of. Whereas this one is written in stone because the conservative government can get through pretty much what it wa nts. Can get through pretty much what it wants. No matter your political bent, that has to be a good thing forgetting things done. The last three years very little legislation went through. Groundhog day. Small parties and factions having much more power than they really deserve. At least now thanks will be done. I know that will not be music to everybodys heirs but it will make Parliament Work better. Ears. Everybodys heirs but it will make Parliament Work better. Ears. The implication is that he has changed to something. It is a story about borisjohnson setting to something. It is a story about Boris Johnson setting out to something. It is a story about borisjohnson setting out his vision for the conservatives. 36 bills and at the heart of the brexit bill, of course, the european withdrawal bill. Guaranteeing britain will leave on january 31 of what the guardian is violating is that the brexit bill has been watered down and its text significantly altered since the wind. It has stripped out the protections for workers right, wanted and a commitment to take unaccompanied refugee children. It is all to stop extending beyond 2020. Labour really, really do not like this. All these concessions we re like this. All these concessions were put anything brexit bill before the election to get it over the line and now he does not need them and he has stripped all of this stuff out. The shadow brexit secretary has said the legislation will pave a harder and extreme brexit. An interesting battle because everybody appeared to get beyond. We all agree about brexit now and things like workers right. I knew working class blue Collar Worker friendly conservative Party Winning votes in the north. It makes you wonder whether some of those tory mps raise their hands and say, hang on a minute, were not so keen on this stuff. The big stuff we buy, we want a free trade deal, get out of the eu. But how we sell ourselves to oui eu. But how we sell ourselves to our new constituencies. That is where an awful lot of infrastructure announcements promise in the campaign and it looks like they would be delivered and that is to appease the mps in those areas desperate for. You will get a shiny new hospital. You will get a new train line and if the infrastructure does notjust provide the service but also provides jobs and the rest of things, a better trade link between east and west rather than north and south and they will make a big difference but they ta ke will make a big difference but they take time. Will they be done by the next election . That is why he is talking about ten years, not five yea rs talking about ten years, not five years and then the reform of the nhs is the other big story and that will ta ke is the other big story and that will take time and that is a crisis which the labour party knows full well because they have banged on about it. And rightly so, rightly so to bang on about the nhs. 95 of bang on about the nhs. 9596 of english and welsh patients not getting seen within four hours. They did move the agenda, they moved the tories and in the queens speech there are bills to spend more on schools, the nhs and i do not think that would have happened had not labour s that would have happened had not labour 5 election manifesto promise to spend, spend, spend and reverse austerity. Austerity seems to at least be halted. Johnson promises a golden age for britain. What do the two of you make by the argument made by the folder former liberal democratic leader that says one of the mistakes they made is that they we re the mistakes they made is that they were too negative and they gave the conservatives the opportunity to own the future, be optimistic about the future, about what britain could achieve which meant they did not have to talk about the austerity of the past nine years. Politically it could have been quite debatable and actually too much combination of sanctimonious negativity made it less attractive for the opposition rather than to vote for a man who promise an optimistic future. Even when you dissect the slogan of get brexit done and i know the words arent the whole thing but it is forward moving, it is active, it is showing some sort of action and movement and, of course, even where the statements are not the same. It does not encapsulate the absolute bottom of stagnation and wanting to move on and get on with things. There were lots of problems with the liberal democratic party. Some terrible ideas. Even remain as found some unpalatable. People who voted remain wished that brexit was not happening does not mean they want to revoke article 50. It is a different thing. That was a big problem for the campaign. It is undemocratic to ignore the wishes of the majority. And they assume that people who voted remain would approve. It is a lazy assumption. It is not clever in their thinking. The assumption that tribalism will get through anything. Interesting little news in brief on the front of the telegraph. Violence is becoming normal. This is not about there are not enough Police Officers but how we interact with other people on a day to day life. And especially how youngsters interact with each other and other people. Violence is becoming normal and we do have an epidemic of knife crime across the country. Teenagers and younger children even, children in Primary School taking knives to school, and often it is linked to drugs and crime, gangs. The police have been saying this for quite a long time. They are actually going into schools, talking to children, begging them not to carry knives stop an awful lot of work going on to stop young people from joining gangs. The need to be a more holistic approach according to some. You cannot lock up all these kids or do you try to sort out and educate and help the families. This is a very sad story because the police chief warning comes after a 14 year old boy was found guilty of stabbing a man to death after a petty row over a bicycle. And someone stabbed in newcastle because he brushed somebody. His First Response was not available but to get out a screwdriver. Some i know more about this than i do, but the trials really seem to have had surgeons come into talk to kids if you get stabbed or what happens when there is a stabbing. People just tend to think i bet this kid didnt think this was going to die. Theyjust think it is. Inflicting a wound, it will have a bit of blood and shock. And it will work because the cable know im strong than killing the guy and ending in prison because the guy will know im strong. They singled us will know im strong. They singled us its a moment when the child is really badly wounded, then you can get to them and say this has to. The really sad thing is we hear about the deaths of the federal stabbings, a lot of these kids come out of the hospitals in wheelchairs, they have colostomy bags. 12 in the for the rest of their life because they got stabbed. So many victims were school age victims. Stabbed. So many victims were schoolage victims. And some great work that has been done in glasgow to lower knife crime. That is the holistic approach. Lets talk about the new york times. Its not often we do the International New york times was not it is a famously liberal it is a famously liberal paper. But it has this wonderful photo of donald trump looking out on a christmas scene. Hes got the lights there in the rose garden. Hes not in a good mood. This was the time he was being last night. Interesting thing is on the left hand side there there there is a common piece by senator kamala harris. You just pulled out of the leadership for the democrats. Donald trump has been calling her chicken. Of course. She is talking about how the next stage will happen. I understand that Christmas Donna congress has gone Christmas Holidays without sorting out how this impeachment will work. We will have nothing more about it in seal january six or seven or Something Like that. Meanwhile, they are also hugging each other off. She is saying the leader of the senate, mitch mcconnell, is already skewing it and it isnt going to be a fair hearing already slagging each other off. So we will have weeks and weeks before we know how it will work and what the terms are and how it will be run. We are raising through this, forgive me. We will jump through this, forgive me. We will jump onto the ft, if you dont mind. The big news is about another north american who will soon be heading home to canada, come february. Mark carney, we enjoy having him as governor, not everybody has enjoyed having him as governor, the brexiteer thought he was a bit of a wet bla n ket brexiteer thought he was a bit of a wet blanket at the time of the referendum that he held his ground does make asateers brexiteer. They are tipping Andrew Bailey, hes a former Deputy Governor the bank. It looks as though he will be announced tomorrow as the governor. Its interesting because it has been a lot of talk about having the first female governor, maurice morissey and others. It looks like that wont happen and Andrew Bailey will take the topjob stop happen and Andrew Bailey will take the top job stop sources close to sajid javid indicated the candidates have been vetted on the basis of whether their views are compatible with the direction of the new government. Hm. Some candidates were rejected because of this because she had critical views on brexit. Hes not going to be like mr carney. He is following a bit of a glamorous bank of england governor, and how often would have you been able to say that over the years . He is slightly dull and sort of. There isa slightly dull and sort of. There is a lot to be said for dull bankers. There is, but he has had a couple of problems of his own. He had the woodford case they blew up earlier this year and the front page of the times, the trainers who have been getting the audio. Ive sat in many of those bank of England Press conferences and they are incredibly careful. You have to hand in your phone when you arrive, its all incredibly sensitive. And they have been tsolakis. Andrew baileys current body is now enquiring, and then he will have to apologise to himself they have been so slack. And lets finish with this one, on the front of the times, we will leave trees and laws for another time, how to avoid getting ill on an aeroplane, what is the secret . Time, how to avoid getting ill on an aeroplane, what is the secret7m has ruined many holidays. According to the institute of sport, which has offered this advice to all of its competitors, they have a set of guidelines to avoid getting the flu. They say dont sit near the lavatories, she a window seat to avoid coming into contact with those in the aisle. You wont get anything from the windows, no one will open a window. Passengers are also advised to adjust the air conditioning and clean the arms as with disinfectant armrests. Clean the arms as with disinfectant armrests. I think that would feel quite insulting. Thats it for the papers tonight. You can see the front pages on the bbc news website and you can watch it on bbc iplayer. Thank you, daisy mcandrew, and sian griffiths. I hope to see you before christmas. Goodbye. Stay tuned for sport and the weather and then from midnight its newsday. Good evening. Im austin halewood. Heres your latest sports news. Arsenal are closing in on their new manager. We understand mikel arteta has said his goodbyes at manchester city, where hes been assistant coach under pep guardiola, for the past three years. Hes expected to be announced as the new boss at the emirates tomorrow. They were scheduled to have their Pre Match Press Conference ahead of saturdays game against everton today, but thats been postponed until tomorrow now when they expect artetas appointment to be confirmed. Well, caretaker manager Duncan Ferguson will be in the everton dugout for the game against arsenal.

Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw has announced his retirement from the International Game after nine years and 76 caps. He led the National Team 39 times more than anyone else. The 34 year old scrum half made his last appearance for scotland in the Rugby World Cup defeat to japan in october. He ends his international career, second only to Chris Patterson on the all time points list for scotland with 714. He was an exceptional leader, he led in an Old Fashioned way, you might say. But it works for everyone and the environment he was in. I wouldnt say that he was deficient in any area, something he focused a lot on, leadership, was what set him apart. He was one of the first names his Decision Making was impeccable, his Decision Making was impeccable, his application was excellent. His leadership will probably be the main thing he will be remembered for but Everything Else was at a pretty high level as well. The leeds rhinos and englands scrum half rob burrow has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease. And two challenge cups in 17 years with the super league side. Burrow, who retired back in 2017, is now the head coach for the clubs reserve team. When he went in the room and told me, it was a bit of a shock. There was no sort of prep for being told youve got something where there is no cure. So, you know, it happened. I went for a run and did some planks. Englands world cup winning captain, eoin morgan, has landed an ipl contract worth more than £500,000. Hell bejoining the kolkata knight riders. Jason roy, chris woakes and sam curran have all earned six figure contracts.

Ive achieved a lot of great things, becoming a double 0lympic champion, becoming a World Champion asa champion, becoming a World Champion as a professional boxer as well. Im happy with that, im concerned ive come out of boxing at the top of my game. So, when i look back, im like yeah, ive done really, really well. I cant complain. Thats all your sport for now.
