Are very lucky, if you catch two you are very lucky, if you catch two you are very lucky, if you catch two you are very unlucky. Breezes for the most pa rt are very unlucky. Breezes for the most part are light but some stronger down the east coast of england and scotland, and here i think it will feel quite chilly on saturday the best of the temperatures towards wales in the south west of england. We are drawing in some cooler airfor south west of england. We are drawing in some cooler air for the start of the weekend, that will be around on saturday night, and with the winds dropping light and skies clearing it will be cold, the cold est clearing it will be cold, the coldest night for a while, could see a touch of rust across North Eastern scotland, north east england as well. For the most part we start dry, cold but sunny on sunday, the odd bit of cloud around, but not expecting any showers to speak of. The Northern Ireland in western scotla nd the Northern Ireland in western scotland it is probably going to be either cloudy day, and head of that temperatures are looking at 16 18 degrees. More clout on the north west, a band of rainjust waiting on the wings, that weather front there, and that will slide down across the uk as it does so it will develop some ripples or waves on it, even an area of low pressure which will slow the progress of that rain down and focus some of the heavy rain towards wales in the south west especially in the afternoon. Behind that we are likely to find things brightening up a touch of scotland and Northern Ireland, look at those temperatures 14, 15, 16 ireland, look at those temperatures 1a, 15, 16 degrees, for many this will come as a bit of a shock to the system. The weather front weekends, the area of low pressure trips down to rods biscay and on tuesday it will be a much drier day, a few showers if any left over, some decent spells of sunshine and wins like the most part, tending to pick up like the most part, tending to pick up on the north west, with cloud and rain approaching towards the end of the day. I had about the temperature should be higher on tuesday. But band of wet and windy weather that is approaching in the north west is wrapped around the area of low pressure, that contains remnants of hurricane dorian. No longer a hurricane dorian. No longer a hurricane at this stage but it will bring some wet and windy weather down across the uk with the strongest winds across the northern half of the uk, gale force quite likely. We will see some sunshine behind that band and that wet weather contains some tropical air putting down into england and wales. Possibly temperatures as high as 20 or 21 across eastern parts of england. Once that clears away what is left of dorian, we have the next tropical system, this area of low pressure, a bit deeper now and the forecast, contains remnants of Tropical Storm gabrielle. This could bring some gales, even severe gales if that forecast is right on thursday, across northern parts of scotland. Further south we have tropical hour, so damages could be into the low 20s, but there is cooler, windy weather around during friday, start of the weekend, we start to see High Pressure building in over the next weekend, that means it will be dry with some spells of sunshine, if a little chilly by day and by night. Hello, this is bbc news. We will be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. First the headlines opposition leaders in parliament agree to stop borisjohnson having a snap election until brexit is delayed beyond the end of october. We are not going to help Boris Johnson shut down parliament and try and drive us out of the European Union over an election period. Thats not going to happen. They dont trust the people, they dont wa nt dont trust the people, they dont want an election . 0k, perhaps it is that they dont think they will win. Fine. Ill go to brussels. Ill get a deal. Peers have approved legislation aimed at blocking a possible no deal brexit. Robert mugabe, the man who delivered independence for zimbabwe, but went on to become its dictator, has died at the age of 95. In the wake of hurricane dorian, officials in the bahamas say the situation there is dire, and warn the death toll may rise dramatically. Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are the evening standards Martin Bentham and bonnie greer from the new european. Many of tomorrows front pages are already in. The times features an image of the Prime Minister attempting to steer a bull, alongside the line that he is under pressure from cabinet ministers to abandon his Brexit Strategy and come up with a plan b. The guardian has gone with the same image and says borisjohnson is short of options as the so called Rebel Alliance vows to break him. The telegraph reports that the Prime Minister has indicated he would rather defy the law than ask for a further brexit delay. The Financial Times weekend leads with the shadow chanchellors pledge to end the culture of huge bonuses in the Financial Services sector. Prince william speaks about his fury over what he calls outrageous incidents of racism in football, fuelled by social media. That is on the front of the daily express. And an investigation by the daily mirror finds that endangered species of sharks are being served up to customers at fish and chip shops. That is actually going to be one of our papers, but lets start off with borisjohnson. The our papers, but lets start off with Boris Johnson. The front our papers, but lets start off with borisjohnson. The front of our papers, but lets start off with Boris Johnson. The front of the times. According to the times it was under pressure from his cabinet ministers last night that he abandoned his strategy and come up with another plan. I guess because they want to stay in government, basically. And he says no, he is not going to do that, and as he said before, he is going to die in a ditch before he goes back to brussels. That is the situation we are in. Frankly, ijust want to say, ifind it are in. Frankly, ijust want to say, i find it actually quite appalling that people actually want to be against their elected parliament, directly elected parliament, and actually get behind a government that they had nothing whatsoever to do with. I mean, this is a parliamentary democracy, and the fa ct parliamentary democracy, and the fact that this man is actually saying he is going to defy parliament as i think much more dangerous than anything else that is going on here right now. What could he possibly have as a plan b . Do the papers lay anything out . Know, exactly, and there lies the problem, that of course it appears his current strategy of insisting that no deal must remain an option in terms of giving the eu some concessions which could give a form of deal, close to what theresa may had but with some refinements which seem had but with some refinements which seem to be greater refinements than we re seem to be greater refinements than were initially thought. Getting that accepted were initially thought. Getting that a cce pted by were initially thought. Getting that accepted by a majority in parliament, that great conundrum that, yes, there is no obvious way yet to achieve that. So clearly what now seems like it needs to happen is to have this election. But of course, were not going to get it in the foreseeable future. It is not going to happen on the date that boris wanted it to happen. Because clearly you have got the erg on the tory side, some of whom didnt back the deal. The labour party, who voted for the referendum, voted for article 50 to be triggered, most of theirmps, article 50 to be triggered, most of their mps, not all of them, and certainly committed themselves in a ma nifesto to certainly committed themselves in a manifesto to deliver brexit, still vowing to vote for any plan. While thatis vowing to vote for any plan. While that is the situation, exactly what is going to get through, it seems impossible. Were just going to turn to the telegraph, this is something you brought up. The parliamentary mechanisms, carry on, bonnie. |j you brought up. The parliamentary mechanisms, carry on, bonnie. Iwas just going to say, why should the opposition give the government and election when the government wants it . They should have the election when they want to have it. That is what it is basically about. Boris wants to have the election, i dont blame him. He says he is out of here by 31 october. If he is not out of here by 31 october, he is in trouble. Why should the opposition give him that . This isjust plain retail politics. The argument would be that it is in the National Interest to resolve this as quickly as possible. Why should it happen to help him . To help the country. He wants to have it before the date of 31 october. If they had it on one november, they could still have the election. They dont want to do it oii election. They dont want to do it on the date that he wants to do it, for obvious reasons. Well, we dont know, it may or may not be. The argument seems to be that they are worried that if he won the election he would go back to the strategy they dont like. But if he won an election on that mandate. Well, all of that may not even happen, because according to the front of the daily telegraph, he could end up in court. Well, this is going to please a chunk of your viewers, and it is slightly unclear. He says he will defy the law and he rules out resigning, which is one scenario that other papers have raised as a way that he can avoid doing what he said he wouldnt do, which is go and apply for an extension. There is some suggestion that there may be question as to whether, despite the legislation passed in parliament, that somehow or other that may not be. He may try to argue that is not binding on him. I cant understand how that would be. And i go back to what i said at the beginning of this conversation, that people should be nervous that a Prime Minister is saying i am going to defy the law. That should make people nervous. Well that is the headline, isnt it . Assumedly the argument would be, and we dont know because we havent heard it from the horses mouth, and we havent seen the detail, clearly, actually the legislation that was passed not binding. Anyway, the long and short of it is this scenario was raised, he says if mrjohnson fails to carry out the will of parliament, he risks being taken to court, and this is something that people will enjoy very much. He could be held in co nte m pt very much. He could be held in contempt and even jailed very much. He could be held in contempt and evenjailed if he refused. I think that is very, very unlikely, but no doubt some people might quite like to see that. But do we want to have a Prime Minister who says i will defy the law . We are not a president ial democracy. |j says i will defy the law . We are not a president ial democracy. I think it is inconceivable. If the law is the law. I agree with you, but look at this headline. We should point out that Iain Duncan Smith is quoted in this article and as part of this he is saying he is possibly looking to become a brexit amata. Martyr. The other option is to resign, leave it tojeremy the other option is to resign, leave it to Jeremy Corbyn to the other option is to resign, leave it toJeremy Corbyn to apply for the extension and after the election, which would come fairly soon after, that could be used in essence to strengthen the borisjohnson hand in a contest. Who knows . The daily mail, another question, who knows . The great election stitch up is their headline. Look at this, breaking news. 75 of voters say mps have failed. They would say that. Absolutely nothing. We are surprised it is as low as that. Whatever your view of it is. People do feel that parliament has failed, mainly because what is going on now is so deeply complex. This has never happened before, all these sovereign powers have been brought on the table that people didnt know existed, all these locking motions. The law has at one point had 99 amendments. It is just the law has at one point had 99 amendments. It isjust crazy, and of course people dont know what is going on, because they are not taught what is going on in school. But the real reason mps have failed in the public is that, whether rightly or wrongly, a referendum bill was passed by many mps who were still in parliament, not all of them because there has been an election since then, they gave the choice to the british people. The liberal democrats were the first people to say they were against leaving, well before David Cameron put it forward to suggest it should be in a referendum, so they are on the hook. Labour and the tories all voted for a referendum and yet somehow or other they have failed to get together and reach a satisfactory. Because they are human beings in politics. And mr corbyn would likely but he doesnt think he can win it. Other stories today, a former colony of britain, and its former new leader, Robert Mugabe, has passed away. We talked about this earlier. It was an interesting thing. My generation grew up in the 1960s, and we know what Robert Mugabe turned into and what Robert Mugabe has done, and the destruction, and the people of zimbabwe would agree. But if you look at what is going on, and i say but, and, when you look at the tributes that are coming in, a lot of that is coming from a kind of nostalgia, and looking at the sort of colonialism and the level and the type of colonialism that existed on that continent. And it is all clashing together right now in the person of this man who turn into a tyrant. The tragedy of mugabe, he turned into a monster. We know what he is, but i think there is a long, long story that has to do with it is colonialism in africa that is not talked about. And this goes back to people in britain perhaps not being fully aware of their history. Exactly. Well, yes and no, but the fa ct exactly. Well, yes and no, but the fact is that that doesnt excuse what he did. I am slightly resistant to that narrative that, of course he achieved some fine things by helping to free his country. It wasnt some fine things, he liberated his country. He did a lot of other things which were not fine. And he ended upa things which were not fine. And he ended up a monster, yes, he did. And u nfortu nately, ended up a monster, yes, he did. And unfortunately, one does not have to produce the other, does it . So in fa ct, produce the other, does it . So in fact, and obviously the great example of that was nelson mandela, in south africa, who did not resort to becoming an oppressive dictator in the way that mugabe and indeed some other people did. The first timei some other people did. The first time i as an american heard of this country was whats his name who ran rhodesia who declared against this country. I am rhodesia who declared against this country. Iam not rhodesia who declared against this country. I am not excusing mugabe, but as you say, lukwesa, people dont know the history. By knowing the history, you understand why there is so much history in this story, why it matters. Well, of course, but. He was a monster at the end. For a long period, notjust the end. For a long period, notjust the end, but decades, in fact. He the end, but decades, in fact. He the ft weekend, john mcdonald. |j know people may think this is crazy, i see this guy on finance channels, he tells them exactly what he is going to do to them and what is going to do to them and what is going to do to them and what is going to happen, but he is so affable, he lays his plans out, and they take his interviews. He is not a very affable character,. Im not sure that he will be getting a huge number of votes in the city for what he is suggesting here. Of course, on one level he is right and people do not like seeing vast bonuses handed out to people when they cant really see what necessarily they have done to deserve it, and they dont like the idea that he is driving the wrong behaviour which i think we have seen in the city at times in the past, where the incentives, the things that get you a bonus, not just inner city but elsewhere, are not necessarily related to the long term interests of businesses and so on. There is one pole that people should attention to, there is rumours that the superrich are fleeing the country, so they may know something we dont. Crosstalk. We do want to get to shark and chips, daily express, william declares war on racists. This is the latest stage in the ongoing u nfortu nate the latest stage in the ongoing unfortunate problem of racism in football, particularly on social media being directed at some black players who, whenever they missed a penalty, some horrendous people. Prince william is speaking out, the thing actually that would be, you are talking about his ability to affect change which obviously would be good if he could, i thought was the most powerful idea was phil neville when he was saying, maybe we should have a boycott, some of the clu bs should have a boycott, some of the clubs and should have a boycott. William has that kind of media power, he can do that, and all of that can come into play now and hope he does step up to this, because it is outrageous. Lets turn finally to. What a horrible story. Apparently there is some sort of endangered species of little shark that gets caught in nets, and people are passing this off, they dont know it, but they are selling this as fish and chips. When you read this headline it is a brilliant tabloid story, you envisage these cornish troll and going out and hauling out hammerhead sharks or whatever and trawler men. What has happened is, it is a serious issue, and the spiny dogfish is being caught as by catch, they are being caught as by catch, they are being sold as rock salmon and a p pa re ntly being sold as rock salmon and apparently are a form of shark, so, the problem with it is in particular that they are endangered and also that they are endangered and also that they are being caught as by catch as a young fish and that is stopping them. They dont read very quickly. They are being sold in certain fish and chip shops as rock sham rock salmon. Certain fish and chip shops as rock sham rock salmon. You are not getting a great white being served. But look
