downing street has secured in principle an agreement with the democratic unionist party, giving the conservatives 3 working majority in parliament. the deal would be on a "confidence and supply basis," allowing theresa may to pass crucial votes when the commons resits next week. meanwhile, the prime minister's two most senior advisors, nick timothy and fiona hill, have resigned in the wake of the general election. there were plenty of voices in the conservative party that reminded her that you can't run the government like you run the home office. the london bridge killers who used a van in their terror attack had wanted a seven and a half tonne lorry instead. and scotland push england all the way, as they draw in their world cup qualifier at hampden park. good evening.

downing street says it's secured the principles of an outline agreement with northern ireland's democratic unionist party, giving the conservatives a working majority in parliament. the deal would be on a so—called "confidence and supply basis," allowing theresa may to pass crucial votes once the commons resits next week. the cabinet will discuss the deal on monday. today, theresa may's two closest advisors, nick timothy and fiona hill, resigned, following the conservatives‘ failure to win a majority in parliament in the election. here's our political correspondent alex forsyth. past friends, now even closer political allies. without enough mps of her own, theresa may has returned to the democratic unionist party to help of form a government. she signalled their intention yesterday, her way of keeping this address. we will continue to work with our

friends and allies in the democratic unionist party in particular. our two parties, have enjoyed a strong relationship over many years, and this gives me the confidence to believe that we will be able to work together in the interests of the whole united kingdom. with its ten seats won on thursday, the dup will back theresa may on key votes like the budget. it's not a full coalition, but a looser agreement, the details scan so far. now they are politically centrestage, prompting renewed scrutiny of their policies by some here in westminster. pro brexit, socially conservative, the party's opposition to same—sex marriage and abortion in northern ireland has caused concern among some tory mps here, but not all. i don't think we will go backwards in terms of social legislation. it is part of our dna now, part of what makes us the great country we are. i am sure the —— dup

understand that. theresa may is relying on that party to govern here because she doesn't have an overall majority. she will have to balance competing demands on almost every front, taking into account notjust the position of the dup on some issues, but that of her own mps too. and today, two of her closest advisers quit, leaving her to navigate tricky waters without their support. nick timothy and fiona hill we re support. nick timothy and fiona hill were accused of having too much control over policy and tactics, blamed for the election campaign that cost the prime minister her majority. and today, as the consequences of that sunk in, reflection and recrimination. some tory mps said theresa may had to heed calls to change. there have been plenty of calls to make sure that the circle around her was wider and more inclusive to prevent anyone believing that the two principal advisers had undue influence. the

prime minister is under pressure from all sides, with no majority, her plans for things like grammar school and social care will be hard to get through parliament and the queen's speech, her programme for government, isjust over a queen's speech, her programme for government, is just over a week away. i cannot see how a queen's speech can be laden with interesting pieces of legislation, because many of them will be items which will cause dispute within the conservative party or between the conservative party or between the conservative party or between the conservative party and the dup. the prime minister may be back in number ten, but not how she had hoped. without her key aides, dependent on support from the dup, thejob of governing here is harder than ever. so what might the democratic unionist party demand in return for their loyalty, and how will any deal affect the politics of northern ireland? here's john campbell. political views here are firmly held and slow to change. on saturday mornings for the last five years, unionist protesters have gathered at belfast city hall,

opposing a council policy to reduce the numbers of days on which it flies the union flag — a decision may feel undermines their british identity. they welcome the dup‘s new influence. from a loyalist point of view, i think northern ireland is in the best position, we have ever been in. we could not have wished for anything better than a hung parliament. what should they be asking for? first off, they should be asking to stop the witchhunt against the british army. just across the street, what do people think dup should be prioritising? the national health and the hospital is one of the most important ones. schools and welfare. i am pleased they are going into government with them. a functioning executive for government in northern ireland, because that's what we really need. money is great but it does not answer all the questions. the dup is a party with religious roots, and that continues to influence its social policy. chanting: stormont, stormont, hear us clear!

to northern ireland. issues like these are unlikely to feature in talks with the conservatives. the dup‘s demands will be overwhelmingly financial. they have a road map they set out in 2015 when they thought they would be in this position. there is little in that about social policy. but this new relationship right is wider questions about the conservatives' role here. on monday, cross— party conservatives' role here. on monday, cross—party talks will get under way, aimed at restoring northern ireland's corrupt government. but how can the conservative secretary of state act as an honest broker of those talks when the conservatives are now so those talks when the conservatives are now so reliant on the dup? this deal has come more quickly than many expected, but tonight the dup are revealing nothing but what they want in return for their support. but on

brexit, the dup does not appear to share theresa may's view that walking away with no deal is a viable option. the party's financial demands are likely to include more money for infrastructure. the party will not support further austerity measures, like the means testing on winter fuel allowance. when do we expect to hear more about what the dup expect in return for their loyalty? we expect a dup delegation to come to westminster next week. so we may learn more then. it is in the conservatives' interest to have this nail down as far as possible for before those brexit negotiations begin. also tonight, we have had a from sinn fein, the largest nationalist party in northern ireland. they have criticised this deal. they say in the past, when unionists have tried to prop up tory governments, it

hasn't achieved much. they think this will be a transitory arrangement which will end in tears. they have also said it is now time for the irish government to speak up. they said the irish government should speak for all citizens of northern ireland. thank you, john. and alex forsyth is at westminster. good news for theresa may on a dup deal, but losing her trusted advisers, where does that leave her? theresa may is where she didn't want to be. she is facing pressure from all sides now. we don't know the details of that deal with the dup, but she will have to give them some concessions for their support and she is facing pressure from within her own party as well. we know the conservative party members have different views on domestic policy like social care and grammar schools, things theresa may wanted to do. but crucially on brexit, they are deeply divided about the direction the government should take. theresa may needs all of them to back her now to get anything done, and we have seen today that

they are prepared to put pressure on her, all but demanding those two key trusted advisers departed, leaving theresa may no doubt feeling isolated tonight. she has reappointed a new chief of staff. she is trying to make out that this is business as usual, but it is far from it. the election result has left theresa may's authority seriously weakened. alex, thank you. it's been revealed that the ringleader of the london terror attack, had tried to hire a 7 and half tonne lorry, instead of a van, to run down members of the public. police say the number of injured would have been much higher. eight people died in the knife and van attack a week ago. here's our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford. on the edges of borough market, they were repairing the damage today, replacing the doors that had been shot off by armed police in the desperate hunt to find the killers. the police are gone, but the market where five victims were stabbed to death remains sealed off. a scene of horror and heroism. we have stories of people who came out armed with chairs, other items, were throwing bottles and anything

they could get their hands on with a view to try to prevent the attackers coming into pubs and bars but more importantly, to scare them off to stop other people being attacked. the weapons the attackers used were 12—inch pink ceramic knives of the ernesto brand, possibly bought at lidl. they were found tied onto the men's hands with leather straps after they'd been shot by police. minutes earlier, they had killed three other people on london bridge before crashing their b&q van. in the van, police found 13 petrol bombs made with lighter fluid and cloth cut from tracksuit bottoms and two blowtorches. detectives believe behind this green door in east ham was the men's safe house. in a top floor bedsit rented by rachid redouane two months ago, detectives discovered items that had been used to make their petrol bombs and fake suicide vests. and an english—language copy of the koran left open at a page referencing martyrdom.

the ringleader of the gang, khuram butt, had tried to hire a seven and a half tonne truck that morning which would have made the attack worse, but fortunately, his payment did not go through. he was also being investigated by counterterrorism detectives for fraud and was still on police bail, although the case was about to be dropped. at the present time, i do not regard what i have seen as an intelligence failure. but everybody would expect us to look at what has happened and to ensure we learn whatever we can from what has happened and secondly, that we continue to improve and improve and that is what we have always done in this country in the face of a changing terrorist threat. the men killed three of their victims as they drove across london bridge and stabbed five more to death in borough market. it was the third attack on britain in ten and a half weeks. people in london have been urged

today to visit the capital's bars and restaurants in a show of "unity and resilience" a week after the attacks. the british red cross launched the appeal calling for people to come together, as sarah campbell reports. a warm june evening, a few minutes walk from london bridge and borough market. this area is packed with bars and restaurants. that's what made it a target last saturday. one week on, people are back in defiance of those determined to spread terror. obviously, you still reflect upon it and think about those people that that happened to, but it doesn't stop me from coming out at all. you can't not think about what happened, wondering about what the mood would be like, but it's really celebratory and fun. we stick together, that's what we do. that's what london's all about. across the capital, there was a concerted effort this evening to collect money for victims of terror attacks and their families.

the uk solidarity fund was set up in the wake of the manchester and westminster attacks by the british red cross. so in pubs like this this evening, they are encouraging people to donate money. restaurants are donating the price of certain meals and there are collections being held in tube stations and theatres. and alongside the donations, a sense of solidarity. i think it's absolutely right that on the anniversary of what happened last weekend, the tragic events, that londoners can just go out and do what londoners do. a walk across the centre of london this evening involving representatives from different faiths. a show of unity to remember those who were killed. the luxury ocean liner queen mary 2 has taken part in an operation to rescue competitors in a yacht race whose boats had been damaged by a massive mid—atlantic storm. lone yachtsman mervyn wheatley had issued a mayday. his was one of several vessels damaged by is—metre

waves and 60—knot winds. cunard — which owns the liner — says mr wheatley is now safely on board and on his way to canada. the tv presenter richard hammond has escaped serious injury after being involved in this car crash in switzerland. the 47—year—old — who climbed out of the vehicle — suffered a fractured knee and was flown to hospital. with all the sport, here's karthi gna nasegaram at the bbc sport centre. good evening, clive. "phenomenal" and "crazy" were two of the words used by scotland and england's teams to describe their qualifying game for the 2018 world cup. it ended in a 2—2 draw, but the drama was provided by the three goals scored in the final six minutes. david ornstein reports. come on, scotland! a rivalry dating

back to 1872, each encounter laced with anticipation. security was increased following recent terror attacks and before kick—off, a minute's silence in memory of the victims. this was a match scotland had to win, something they had not done at home to england in 32 years and which looked unlikely as the visitors applied the pressure. that pressure told after half—time, when alex oxlade—chamberlain came off the bench to make an immediate impact. scotla nd bench to make an immediate impact. scotland were bruised but not beaten and when leigh griffiths equalised in the closing stages, they were invigorated. but the drama was far from over. three minutes later, unbelievably and an almost identical fashion, griffiths did it again to send his team and their fans fashion, griffiths did it again to send his team and theirfans into dreamland. but with three priceless points almost within their grasp, the celebrations came to an abrupt

end as harry kane, england's captain for the day, had the final say and scottish joy turned into despair. so england strike late to break scotla nd england strike late to break scotland hearts and deny them what would have been an incredible victory. it's another blow to their hopes of qualifying for next summer's world cup, a tournament england remain firmly on course to reach. there was also a late goal as northern ireland beat azerbaijan in their qualifier for the 2018 world cup. stuart dallas's injury time winner boosts northern ireland's chances of reaching the tournament in russia. scotland and england's rugby union sides both won their international matches against italy and argentina respectively, while the british and irish lions beat the crusaders in the latest match of their tour of new zealand. owen farrell scored all of the lions points. they won 12—3. england's cricketers have beaten australia in their final icc champions trophy group game. a brilliant century from an unbeaten ben stokes saw england win by a0 runs when chasing an adjusted target due to several rain delays.

that knocks the australians out. england had already qualified for the semi finals. it was a day of firsts at the french open. jelena ostapenko, who had previously never won a match at roland garros, is now the new singles champion. ostapenko, who is still only 20 years old, became the first unseeded woman since 1933 to win the title in paris, and she did it by coming back from a set down against the third seed, simona halep. and there was a first grand slam title for great britain's alfie hewett in the wheelchair singles. hewett beat the defending champion, gustavo fernandez in three sets that's all the sport, clive. that's all from me. good night. hello.

this is bbc news. there has been a sharp rise in hate crimes in london since last we can's attack. cressida dick, who heads the metropolitan police, has been speaking to asian network. we are seeing an increase in hate crime. i'm sorry to say that we a lwa ys crime. i'm sorry to say that we always see, after a significant attack or terrorist attack, either here or overseas sometimes, a rise in hate crime. the vast majority of those crimes are verbal abuse or harassment, or perhaps online abuse. but it is of concern to us and we are looking to reduce it and we take every single one seriously.|j are looking to reduce it and we take every single one seriously. i spoke toa man every single one seriously. i spoke to a man who knew one of the attack as well. he said he reported concerns about him to the

anti—terror hotline years ago, yet he was still able to carry out the attack. why? we take every single call to the anti—line seriously. we will investigate the information we are given. sometimes that information will mirror other information will mirror other information we have. sometimes it will form part of a wider intelligence picture. and frequently, we will not be able to go back to the individual who has given us the information to tell them what we have done. but everybody‘s information is taken seriously and i would encourage people to continue to give us that information. there have been three terror attacks on british soil in the last three months. the intelligence failures allow this to happen? i think an intelligence failure is a very powerful phrase to use. it would be wrong if we do not look back. people would of course

expect us to do that and we will review what has gone on. at the present time, i do not regard what i have seen as an intelligence failure. but everybody would expect us failure. but everybody would expect us to look at what happened. failure. but everybody would expect us to look at what happenedm failure. but everybody would expect us to look at what happened. it has been a challenging few months for your force. been a challenging few months for yourforce. how been a challenging few months for your force. how would you describe morale? do you need more officers to keep london safe? their morale in terms of dealing with this phenomenon is, i would say, high. terms of dealing with this phenomenon is, iwould say, high. i have been nothing but inspired by listening to officers over the last week and the staff who are engaged in forensic work and other things. they are so determined. looking forward , they are so determined. looking forward, we will review all our strategy, our resources and tactics. and i anticipate that things will change in the future. i am not going to say that definitely means this or that number more pounds or more

people, let alone more officers. but ido people, let alone more officers. but i do anticipate that when we take a long, hard look at how we are dealing with the spread of work that the metropolitan police has and is changing terrorist threat, we will be asking for more resources in the future. the head of metropolitan police, cressida dick, speaking to the bbc asian network. downing street has confirmed that it has agreed the principles of a deal with northern ireland's democratic unionist party to help keep the conservatives in power. theresa may is leading a minority administration following the outcome of the general election and needs the help of ten dup mps to survive. let's talk to akash praun from the institute of government. first, let's deal with this matter of confidence and supply. in brief terms, how does it work? in simple terms, how does it work? in simple terms, a confidence and supply agreement is a way of making

government work in a hung parliament that falls somewhere between a full coalition, which we have between 2010 and 2015 between the conservatives and lib dems, of course, and that the other end of the spectrum, a pure minority government which doesn't have any agreement with any other party and basically has to live from hand to mouth and put together temporary coalitions as each issue comes up. with a confidence and supply deal, we will wait to see exactly what the two parties agree. we have not seen the text of the agreement yet. but usually, you see the smaller party agreeing to support the government on crucial votes on which the government's survival depends, like votes on the budget, confidence motions in the prime minister and that kind of thing. in exchange, the smaller party, the dup, would secure some kind of concessions, policy compromises, maybe more money for its own priorities. but it doesn't

cover every issue the government might want to address. what are the downsides of it? you have put your finger on the limitation of it. in a sense, that can be its strength as well, because in a full coalition, as we saw with the liberal democrats, the two parties have to bind themselves together on everything and then it becomes difficult if, as time goes on, relationships become more difficult and they have different priorities. with this kind of deal, the dup will retain its right to disagree with the government on issues not covered explicitly in the narrow confidence and supply agreement. so it could mean that the government may still lose elements of its legislative programme or it might have to compromise either with the dup, or it might need to strike deals with

other parties. so it will be a bit more unpredictable than what happens with a majority government, at least when talking about legislation. that is when it matters what the numbers look like in the house of commons. government can do a lot of stuff that doesn't require legislation, of course including conducting international negotiations. then why not stick with a purely minority government or try to form a coalition? well, there are pros and cons about all those options. a full coalition, i don't know whether the dup worth in favour of that. and for the government, they probably would have concerns regarding the impact on the northern ireland peace process or the power—sharing negotiations. there are already

concerns about what the impact of this arrangement with the dup might be. if you had dup ministers in government, it becomes difficult for the british government to be seen as an honest broker in belfast, where it is trying to put back together a coalition between the dup and sinn fein. on the other hand, if they had gone for a pure minority government, they would have less security. they wouldn't even be sure that if there isa wouldn't even be sure that if there is a no—confidence motion in the government, they would not be sure they could survive that. they would not be sure of getting their budget through, which is a confidence issue as well. so the idea is that a government gets enough security to know it is not always in danger of collapsing if the opposition unites against it. but it doesn't have to compromise on too much. it will have to give away some things to the dup, but most of the government programme

will remain within the control of the conservatives. that is the idea. but we are not used to having to rely on confidence and supply agreements because we usually have majority governments. but in other parts of the world, they are a lot more common. can you give us some brief examples of where it is used? new zealand is the place where it has been used very frequently for the last ten to 15 years. you have had a succession of single party minority governments from both left and right of the political spectrum, and right of the political spectrum, and they have done deals with several smaller parties at once, which also strengthens the government's position because then it can sometimes play the smaller parties off against each other and have to compromise less. that has become the normal way to govern in new zealand. they don't form full coalitions with smaller parties.

this is seen as a more effective way of finding that balance between security for the government, that it is not going to collapse, but without having to tie yourself into a much more binding and restrictive coalition agreement. thank you very much for talking to us. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are jack blanchard, political editor of the mirror and caroline wheeler of the sunday express. the overall story is for all areas to see at some point, but there will be blustery showers around. and quite a breeze still tonight. the

rain will work towards east anglia and the south—east. light and partly by the morning. away from that, we will see showers across northern ireland and parts of central and western scotland. but temperatures are holding up, given the breeze. quite a muggy night. in the morning, the showers become more widespread across scotland and northern ireland. sunshine in between. bridges in the mid teens at this stage. one or two may avoid the. much of england, compared to what you saw today, a vastly brighter start. a bit of a breeze. a few showers around the isle of man and cumbria, but a grey
