this is bbc news at 103m. i'm annita mcveigh at westminster. downing street is forced to clarify its position over a deal with the dup, as they make it clear nothing is finalised yet. amid the confusion over attempts to secure a majority, there's now open speculation over the prime minister's future. theresa may is a dead woman walking. it's just how long she's going to remain on death row. what's your guess? i think we will know very shortly. we could easily get to next week and it all collapses for her. but the defence minister michael fallon says the prime minister was right to cool for an election. the prime minister was right to cool for a bigger majority to open a brexit negotiations and build a stronger, fairer britain beyond that. she didn't have an elected mandate herself. denial of a leadership bid from borisjohnson, who dismisses newspaper reports as "tripe", and says theresa may has his full support. the leaderjeremy corbyn said they

could be another election soon and he is preparing an alternative queen's speech. we are quite ready and able to put forward a serious programme which obviously have massive support in this country. the other headlines — the fake suicide belts designed to spread terror in the london bridge attack. police say anyone seeing the belts worn by the attackers would have assumed they were real. one of the first police officers on the scene describes what they faced. it was almost pandemonium, people were running. at that point, there were still lots and lots of shots ringing out. i didn't know whether they were us, our chaps, or the bad guys. the tv presenter richard hammond is recovering in hospital after his car crashed and burst into flames while filming in switzerland. good morning from westminster,

where the government and the democratic unionist party have both issued statements overnight, making clear that a deal between them has yet to be finalised. this morning there is open speculation over theresa may's future, though some in her cabinet have backed her to continue. we will bring you all of that in a moment in more detail. let's take a look at some of the main developments over the last 2a hours. the dup says it has held "positive talks" over a possible deal to support a conservative minority government, after tory chief whip gavin williamson travelled to belfast yesterday. theresa may, who fell eight seats short of a majority in thursday's election, is due to meet with her cabinet tomorrow.

yesterday, her two closest advisors, nick timothy and fiona hill, resigned. meanwhile, foreign secretary boris johnson has dismissed reports in many of today's papers of a tory party leadership bid as "tripe", saying he was backing the prime minister "100%". this morning, theresa may and her husband attended a church service in sonning in berkshire. former chancellor george osborne, who now edits the london evening standard, told the andrew marr show mrs may was living on borrowed time and it was only a matter of time before she was forced to resign. i mean theresa may is a dead woman walking, it's just how long she's going to remain on death row... what's your guess? i think we will know very shortly. we could get easily to the middle of next week and it all collapses for her, or if it doesn't —

and i agree with toby, there are many tory mps who don't want a leadership contest right now — it will be delayed. but be in no doubt — look at this weekend, you've got the leader of the opposition coming on the programme as a sort of victor, and you've got the prime minister, who's supposed to have won the election, in hiding, and that speaks volumes about what has gone on in the election. we have just had a we havejust had a comment we have just had a comment from the leader of the dup, arlene foster, whose ten mps could be crucial to theresa may in allowing her to have a working majority and continue in government. arlene foster has been saying that discussions between the dup and the conservatives have been good so far, she has been speaking to sky news. is there a deal, or no deal? we had very good discussions yesterday with the conservative party in relation to how we could support them in forming a national government, one that would bring stability to the

nation, and those discussions continue, we have made good progress, but the discussions continue. given that there appears to have been this mistake with the downing street precipice, surely that puts you in a stronger position than before? what are the dup asking for in terms of support? we are not going to negotiate over the airwaves but what i will say is that we will of course act in the national interest and do what is right for the united kingdom as a whole and of course northern ireland in particular. there has been a lot of hyperbole about the dup since thursday, a lot of things said, a lot of people who really don't know what we stand for but, to be clear, we will act in the national interest, we want to do what is right for the whole of the uk and to bring stability to the government of the united kingdom. that was arlene foster, the leader of the dup. i'm joined by our political correspondent ellie price. arlene foster still playing her cards close to her chest, she won't negotiate over the airwaves, she's

not giving anything away, but despite what george osborne has been saying this morning, calling theresa may a dead woman walking, arlene foster and her ten mps could be the key to theresa may continuing for the time being? absolutely, and pretty crucial. theresa may talked, when she launch the election campaign, that if she lost m ps the election campaign, that if she lost mps she would eventually lose her negotiating plan for brexit so this is crucially important to her and for her to run a government with enough mps, the mathematics it be like in parliament. we hear those conversations are going on, there was confusion over night, downing street appeared to suggest a deal had been made with the dup, then the dup said discussions were ongoing then we hear from dup said discussions were ongoing then we hearfrom downing street that discussions are indeed ongoing, said there has been confusion about what might happen in the future. we heard from the defence secretary today, michael palin, who said there would be no formal coalition with the dup, we knew that anyway, but this would be more about confidence

and supply, which means the dup would back the government on big issues, things that the budget, the queen's speech. in response, or with some sequences on certain issues outlined by the dup, of course we have had no details of those so far, exactly what those as yours is, those conditions might be. but that is exactly what we would expect in the next few days as those discussions get finalised. and you mentioned michael fallon, he is still adamant that theresa may was correct to call the selection in the first place, i'm sure clearly not everyone agrees with that, though at the time she called it, seven weeks ago, the conditions looked incredibly favourable for her? they did, as, most importantly, did the polls, now there is that question about whether anyone will ever believe the polls again. but he was defending the prime minister, but interestingly he did say there would be a different approach, he hopes, more collective decision—making. that is really

laying down on the issue of whether her two advisers, who left yesterday, exactly the role that they paid and the fact that this was all about theresa may, theresa may's team, rather than being about the conservatives, there seems to be a slight difference in what he was saying on this issue, that she now understands a minority government will need a collective approach. this is what he said this morning. i think the prime minister was right to ask for a bigger majority to open up to ask for a bigger majority to open up the brexit negotiations, and to build a stronger, fairer britain beyond that. she didn't have an elected mandate herself, she wanted a bigger majority, that hasn't transpired and now we have to get on and make the best of it. and she is entirely responsible for this, she decided to call the election, she made it about her, she said, it is me, me, me, a lot of the country said, no, no, no, and in the —— as a result we are in a position of

chaos. the whole process has been thoroughly irresponsible, has it not? hang on a moment, the government supported her in that election campaign. so it is your fault? we all take responsibility of course. she won the most seats, 56 seats more than labour, the biggest share of the boat for 3h years. it was not a big majority that she wanted, that we wanted, we now have to get on and make the best of it. there is no other party that has any legitimacy or credibility forming the government but we now want to form that government with the support of the dup. michael fallon saying the conservatives will form the next government with the support of the dup, but waiting in the wings is jeremy corbyn, who says he is preparing an alternative queen's speech? yes, very chipper this morning, he has been over the last few days. he says it is not that he lost the election, just that he didn't win it. he has a challenge on his hands, this has extended expectations, what

labour achieved in the general election just wrong, but if you wa nted election just wrong, but if you wanted to build on any kind of a majority, he has work to do to bring his whole labour party, don't forget a few months ago we were talking about labour mps not backing their leader, of course they are falling into line given the results, but it would appear this morning that jeremy corbyn would expect a general election within months. i think it is quite possible there will be an election later this year or early next year, and that might bea or early next year, and that might be a good thing, because we cannot go on with a period of great instability. we have a programme, we have the support, and we are ready to fight another election campaign as soon as may be, because we want to be able to serve the people of this country on the agenda we put forward , this country on the agenda we put forward, which is transformative and has gained amazing levels of support. people say, "hang on, why are my children worse off than we are, why my grandchildren worse off?

" this election was notjust about brexit, there was something different about it, it was challenging and economic inequality that was hard for so many people. it is going to be very difficult decc different, the government, from what we expected a few weeks ago when she called this election. the dup, one point of disagreement is over the triple—lock of pensions so we could expect perhaps a thinner queen's speech than we might have expected otherwise? thinner and certainly some of those controversial things in the ma nifesto controversial things in the manifesto potentially watered down, the dup for example won't support grammar schools but there are probably mps now in the conservatives' ranks who would not soi conservatives' ranks who would not so i wonder whether there will be some more controversial suggestions made in the queen's speech that will be watered down. of course there was a highly controversial suggestion about social care and what happens with the cap on that. clearly

theresa may, or whoever is in charge, if indeed there is a leadership bid launched within the next week, whoever is in charge will clearly have to work in a more collegiate way, not just clearly have to work in a more collegiate way, notjust within the conservative party but the whole of parliament to try and get anything done. i would parliament to try and get anything done. iwould rather expect, yes, queen's speech rather different to the one we would have expected seven weeks ago. just seeing on twitterjeremy corbyn saying he will reach out to critics suggesting some good comeback into the shadow cabinet, obviously when he became leader we saw a departure from the labour front bench is of many from the labour front bench is of r from the labour front bench is of many very talented people who felt they couldn't work with jeremy corbyn. are you hearing any suggestions that some of those people, given the party's improved position, might be willing to come back into the bold? we have heard from the likes of chuka umunna who said he would not be presumptuous to assume he would be presumptuous to assume he would be asked to take up a front bench position but certainly would consider it. also owen smith, who

challenged jeremy corbyn last summer to that leadership battle, he said, i take my hat off tojeremy corbyn, if we could bottle up what he has and drink it we would all be in a better position, so there is no suggestion thatjeremy corbyn faces any particular backbiting from his own mps. that said, if there were to be another general election, if labour do indeed want to get a majority, i think there is probably an assumption within some of those mps who struggled withjeremy corbyn last year that there does need to be more done to reach out to some of those tory voters, it is after all tory voters who would need to be won over if a majority was to be won, but certainly for the momentjeremy corbyn‘s position is very safe. thank you for that, ellie price. we were talking about points of difference between the dup and theresa may, and one of those points of difference is, if you look at theresa may and what she has said about the issue of the deal on brexit committee has consistently

said no deal is better than a bad deal. however, the dup fundamentally disagree with her on that, they think that no deal would be a recipe for chaos, particularly because of the trading relationship with the republic of ireland, northern ireland of course and the republic of ireland post brexit northern ireland would be the only part of the uk with a land border with an eu country. currently, the republic of ireland and northern ireland are each other‘s biggest trading partners. so that is something that we can expect the dup will be discussing with theresa may as they try to hammer out an arrangement. let's talk now to our correspondent, john campbell, who is in belfast for us, he is bbc northern ireland's economics and business editor. i know you were saying to us earlier that of course many of the key demands of the dup in these discussions with theresa may are financial, but that issue of a deal

on brexit is also going to be hugely important, isn't it? yes, since i last spoke to you i have spoken to some senior political sources in belfast and what they are saying about this is, look at the dup manifestos, there you will learn much about what is actually on their shopping list. when it comes to brexit they use language which is very ebullient and talks about the better the deal, the betterfor northern ireland, so they absolutely do not believe that no deal is better than a bad deal, because no deal would cause chaos along the border. the other thing they have on brexit is that they don't want northern ireland's citizens to have a situation where whatever arrangement we come up a situation where whatever arrangement we come up with it would lead to people from northern ireland having to show their passports to get the ferry to scotland. that is, if you like, their main red line on brexit. again, these people i have been talking to have said, because the dup were not expecting this, like most of us, they do not

necessarily have their shopping list in order yet, so in terms of where we are with the deal they are not com pletely we are with the deal they are not completely clear on what they are asking so far but certainly the focus is financial. they are also making the point that the british fiscal system doesn'tjust let making the point that the british fiscal system doesn't just let the prime minister write a big cheque, it won't work like that, so they will have to address a range of different measures but what was also emphasised to me is there will have to be tangible benefits visible in northern ireland pretty quickly, the dup will want to be able to say to their supporters, look what we got asa their supporters, look what we got as a result of this. certainly the dup still getting their ducks in a row in terms of what they are asking for but mostly it will be financial. john, just briefly, do you have any sense at this stage of timings in terms of when a deal between the dup and theresa may might be confirmed? that is still a bit ambiguous, i have to say, from sources i have been talking to. the issue is the

dup are still getting their ducks in a row in terms of what they are asking for, so they need to know what they want before they can hammer it out with theresa may. 0k, hammer it out with theresa may. ok,john, thank hammer it out with theresa may. ok, john, thank you very much. certainly the pressure is on theresa may to come to compromises if necessary , may to come to compromises if necessary, to find an accommodation with the dup. jeremy corbyn, as i say, waiting in the wings. he said just a little earlier on the andrew marr programme, we are quite ready and able to put forward a serious programme which obviously have massive support in this country. so he is basically saying, we are ready and waiting if you, theresa may, cannot come up with the goods. so huge time pressure with the queen's speech and the beginning of brexit negotiations are little over a week away. that is it for the moment from westminster, we will be back soon but right now it is over to you, ben. thank you very much indeed. the latest headlines: downing street

and the democratic unionist party have both issued statements overnight making it clear that a deal between them has not yet been finalised. the former chancellor george osborne has described theresa may as a "dead woman walking" as borisjohnson denies reports that he is preparing a bid to become prime minister. scotla nd a bid to become prime minister. scotland yard has released pictures of the fake suicide belts worn by the london bridge attackers. sport now, time for a full round up from the bbc sport centre. england manager gareth southgate described harry kane's late equaliser against scotland as a huge moment for the team. after a dull first hour in the world cup qualifier, alex oxlade—chamberlain put england ahead and then we were treated to three goals in six minutes as leigh griffiths scored two sublime free kicks to put scotla nd two sublime free kicks to put scotland ahead. they were heading

for their first victory over england for their first victory over england for 18 years when harry kane scored in the third minute of stoppage time. that maintained england's unbeaten record in qualifying but left scotland force in the group.|j think in the end it is a point gained. before we wanted to win the game for sure but the way the game played out in the end, scotland scoring two goals late on, four minutes left of stoppage time to get anything from the game, so we have come away fairly happy with it. it puts us in a good position to qualify for the world cup. getting two goals, man of the match, mucking in three points but it cost us an mucking in three points but it cost us an ending and is the getting three points we got one. late drama for northern ireland as well, they boosted their chances of reaching the northern ireland when stuart dallas grabbed the only goal of the game against azerbaijan in the 92nd minute. they are second in

their group behind world champions germany, well—placed for finishing ina germany, well—placed for finishing in a play—off spot. wales are also in action, and the republic of ireland also play tonight. england are in a world cup final today, not often we can say that. they face venezuela for the under 20 title in south korea and senior manager gareth southgate says it makes it very hopeful for the future of the international game. there is a myth that you have to go around the rest of the world to find good players, to buy them. if some of ours are given an opportunity to play, they can flourish, we have seen that. some of the ways the lads in the team now have got their chanceis in the team now have got their chance is a bit random and they have gone on and proved to be able to play at the highest possible level, so there are other players out there that need opportunity to play. and england versus venezuela in the under 20s world cup final is live on bbc two at 11am. some lions rugby news for you,

they were remembered last night. in a show of defiance, people flocked to the area's bars and restaurants. 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, no. you can't not think about what happened, and i was 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 is all about. in pubs, people are being encouraged to donate to the british red cross' fundraising drive, to raise money for the victims of the london bridge and manchester attacks. it's absolutely right that, on the anniversary of what happened last weekend, the tragic events that happened last weekend, that londoners can just go out and do what londoners do. repairs are continuing to buildings damaged in the hunt for the killers, but the police cordons have now been lifted. southwark cathedral is reopening. an effort to bring back a sense of normality to an area that has

experienced so much suffering. simon jones, bbc news. southwark cathedral has opened its doors this morning for the first time since the london bridge attacks. the cathedral was in the area that was cordoned off after the attack. our correspondent richard lister is outside the cathedral for us. good morning. as you can almost certainly here, the bells are ringing for the first time in a week, a glorious sound, a different atmosphere one week on from the aftermath of the appalling events last saturday night. southwark cathedral of course located right next to both london bridge where the attack began and borough market, where it ended with the killing of those three attackers by armed police. since then, this area has been pretty much on lockdown. this

isa been pretty much on lockdown. this is a crime scene and police cordons we re is a crime scene and police cordons were up until yesterday. the area is not still fully open but southwark cathedral is getting back to business, there are five services here today, and there will be a special service at 11am this morning which will be attended by the bishop of southwark. earlier, the dean of southwark cathedral, the very reverend andrew nunn, said to us that, although southwark was trying to return to normality, this would not be a normal day. today we will be able to do normal services, as they were, but they won't be normal because we will be remembering all those who died, the books of condolence are open here for people to sign and we anticipate lots of people will want to come into what is very much their cathedral within this area, we have been here for 1a00 years, we have seen a lot of things happen in this city, we haven't quite

seen a week like this, to be perfectly honest, and so it will be good to begin to do what we do day in, day out in this place. southwark cathedral itself suffered a little bit of damage, you can probably see the boarded—up door there where police forced their way into in the immediate aftermath of the attack to ensure the cathedral was not being used as a hiding place by other attackers, so a little bit of damage there that still has to be repaired, and borough market, which is just over to the left ear, you can see borough market is also not yet fully open. residents have been allowed back, business owners have been allowed back into repair some of the damage to their properties, you can see the tape is still up and even though the police cordons has been lifted, borough market is likely to remain closed for at least several days this week. i was talking to one of the stallholders earlier who said maybe

they think it would open before this week at the earliest and when it does there will be questions about how to police borough market and other areas where the general public is free to come and go. it is important of course to maintain that open access to sites such as those in london and other cities but at the same time you have to make sure the same time you have to make sure the people who come to them are sensible. richard, thank you very much. last week, during the terror attack on london bridge, inspectorjim cole was one of the first police officers on the scene. he's been talking to us about his experience. as soon as the call came out, the police station burst into life because we had two shifts. late shift and night duty were present, everybody was changing over. so everybodyjust got into any police vehicle that would work and off we all went. it was almost pandemonium. people were running. i could see somebody was injured on the floor by the pub on the corner. i was fortunate that i had

a police medical on board so i called over to him and i instructed him to go over to the entrance to the bar, katzenjammer, and set up a triage there with his equipment. at that point there were still lots and lots of shots ringing out. i didn't know whether it was us, our chaps, or the bad guys. and then a stream of people came out of the market, running and screaming. we literally pushed them into the basement of the pub. it seemed like the safest place to put a large volume of people at that time, out of harm's way. i've been a police officer for 18 years and it alljust happened. it just happened automatically, really. there was no thought process going on. in hindsight it all seems

surreal, it almost feels like it was not real. three men have been arrested after an easyjet flight to stansted was diverted because of suspicious behaviour. the plane, which was flying from slovenia, made an unplanned landing in germany, after the pilot was alerted to a suspicious conversation on board, including what police called "terrorist content". passengers were evacuated down emergency slides. a backpack belonging to one of the men was blown up by police. the tv presenter richard hammond has been treated for a fractured knee after crashing a car while filming for his new motoring show, the grand tour. he was driving an electric supercar in switzerland when it left the road on a bend. the a7—year—old, who suffered brain injuries in a crash while filming top gear 11 years ago, got out of the vehicle before it burst into flames.
