didn't this is bbc news. 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. the defence secretary says a conservative deal with the democratic unionist party would only apply to "big issues". it for whatever snow to build the government by working with our friends within the dup. arlene foster is due in westminster this week and says they have made progress in the talks with the conservatives. amid the confusion over attempts to secure a majority, there is now open speculation over the prime minister's future. theresa may is a dead woman walking. it's just how long she's gonna remain on death row.

what's your guess? i think we will know very shortly. i mean, we could get to next week and it all collapses for her. denial of a leadership bid from borisjohnson, who dismisses newspaper reports as "tripe" and says theresa may has his full support. labour leaderjeremy corbyn says there could be another election soon and he is preparing an alternative queen's speech. we are quite ready and able to put forward a series programme which has massive support within this country. also in the next hour, the fake suicide belts designed to spread terror in the london bridge attack. the police see anyone seeing them would have assumed they were real. one of the officers on the scene said what they faced. at that point,

there were still a lot of gunshots ringing out. at that point, i did not know if it were coming from us orfrom the bad people. 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 fall—out from the general election is continuing this morning. overnight, the government and the democratic unionist party both issued statements, making it clear that a deal between them has yet to be finalised. and 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, but first, we can take a look

at some of the main developments over the last 2a hours. the defence secretary said the deal could be done on major issues with the dup. arlene foster is due to meet theresa may on tuesday. jeremy corbyn says he is ready to fight another election. he also says he is preparing an alternative queen's speech. this morning, theresa may and her husband philip attended a church service in sonning in berkshire. it comes a day after heart two

closest advisers resign. the defence secretary says a conservative deal with the democratic unionist party would only apply to "big issues" like the economy and security. i think the prime minister was right 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 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 vote 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. i am joined by our political correspondent, ellie price. the defence secretary talking about the support of the dup on what he says with the big issues. with that be enough to see them through the foreseeable future? be enough to see them through the foreseeable future ?|j be enough to see them through the foreseeable future? i think the a nswer to foreseeable future? i think the answer to that would it would have to be. there is no formal coalition of the sort we saw in 2010 with the conservatives and the liberal democrats. they would want the dup

two back the party on big issues. in return, we do not know any details, but the conservatives would clearly have to back them on certain things. there was talk last night that a good deal had been agreed last night. then, we have won had not. it was very confusing. i think it gives you some kind of sense of where we are with all of this. there is a sense that some kind of arrangement will have to be made, but the fine details have not been a rimmed out yet. —— ireland out. at we have had talks about how we could form a national government in the interests of the country. these

discussions will continue. given that there seems to be this mistake with the downing street press office, what are the dup scheme for? lam not office, what are the dup scheme for? i am not going to negotiate on television, but we will be looking to act in the national interest. there has been a lot of hyperbole about the dup and a lot of stuff saved by people who do not really know what we stand for. but we want to bring stability to the government of the united kingdom. plenty of people lining up seeing that theresa may should quit. he called the prime

minister a did women walking, but has been described as being sensationalist. of course, he was sacked in the cabinet reshuffle and is no one newspaper editor. but all this as very seriously damaged things going forward. 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 also saw we also saneremy corbyn looking very relaxed and television this morning. what is next for them? is he hoping for another election? will he hoping for another election? will he also be looking to maybe bring back to the front bench some of the members of the shadow cabinet who stood down in the wake of his election. certainly, the labour party defied expectations, but they did not win. it is important to remember that a few months ago, eve ryo ne remember that a few months ago, everyone had writtenjeremy corbyn off, not only commentators, but many off, not only commentators, but many of his own members of the parliamentary labour party. many of them no falling back into line. some of them saying they would be willing

to serve in the shadow cabinet. it will be very interesting to see what happens next. but he said he did expect the general election to happen once again. there could be one later this year or early next year. that would be a good thing. we cannot continue as we are. we have a programme that has a lot of support and we are ready to fight a campaign as sooi'i and we are ready to fight a campaign as 50011 as and we are ready to fight a campaign as soon as possible. we want to be able to serve the people of this country with an agenda which is transformative. people say, hang on, why are my children worse off than i am. this election was notjust why are my children worse off than i am. this election was not just about brexit. it was about challenging

economic process which is disadvantaged many people. he says that calling this referendum on whether to leave the european union has led to the situation we're in today. do you think nature of brexit that theresa may was calling for seven weeks ago has changed? the defence secretary said the government position was the same. these talks are expected to start within the next ten days. but we have said from a number of conservatives this morning who said they simply cannot happen. this deal with the dup commonly do support brexit, but they do not want any

hardline brexit which could affect the border trade with the republic of ireland. there is also the suggestion there is not the arithmetic with parliament for theresa may to put forward that brexit are that she was looking for. it feels like the whole process and approach has been thrown up into the ayr. the government are seeing nothing has changed, but i cannot see how it has not. the dup the, the prime minister seeing any deal with them to secure a working majority

would have to include some deal on brexit. if it is not a transitional arrangement, that would reduce chaos with regard to the trade with the republic of ireland. theresa may went into the election with the mandate to deliver, that would appear to change. it is changing as we speak and that is leading to a huge amount of speculation as to whether her leadership is tenable. there is talk that there could be a conservative party leadership election. i think it is clear that theresa may could not leaders another election. but i do think if we're going to have the leadership contest, it cannot simply be another coronation. a lot of mps just worked

their socks off and to think that they could be just shut out of a future leadership contest would be appalling. you said in the immediate aftermath of the election that theresa may could not carry on after losing a referendum on essentially herself. this type of brexit she wa nted herself. this type of brexit she wanted to deliver, she cannot. does that make our position untenable? absolutely. she asked people to vote for it and they did not give it to her. first it was the first time a more detailed plan on brexit was put

to the people. the idea that she could pay some of the plan without a mandate from the people are simply not possible. yet again, we see the party driven apart over europe. what will happen though, given the dup position? it is very hard to see how things will pan out. but it is very clear that theresa may does not have a free hand. whatever plan she puts forward , a free hand. whatever plan she puts forward, she will be hostage to backbenchers with her own party and to the dup. it is avidly factional party. if the unite against her and get together, they will thought that

then. it will be very difficult for then. it will be very difficult for the conservative prime minister to try and get controversial european issues through the house of commons on the tiny majority. we remember, how difficult it was forjohn major to do the same. what was the case for theresa may at least starting these brexit discussions? the problem she has is that the european union negotiators are laughing at her. she told him she was going to get a big mandate for the plan. if she had come out with the huge mandate, they would at least have said that she could see that their haul of the country was behind her. that is not the case. as george osborne said, he believed her

position was untenable. it is hard for her to act with any authority. she is going on a strong and stable government, it looks anything like that today. we can move ahead to belfast to get a further update on the talks between the conservative party and the dup. our correspondentjohn campbell is in our belfast newsroom. we know that arlene foster is expected in london on tuesday. we know that arlene foster is expected in london on tuesdaylj understand that what the dup are not going to turn up and just ask for a huge charity cheque. it has to be a

serious discussion of policy. they wa nt serious discussion of policy. they want something which will make an impact on the ground quickly. they wa nt to impact on the ground quickly. they want to be able to turn round and see to the people of northern ireland, look, we have achieved this. they will be looking for something which delivers quickly. they also want a good deal for eve ryo ne they also want a good deal for everyone in the country, whether the unionist or national list. the also obviously want to make it a good dealfor the united obviously want to make it a good deal for the united kingdom. obviously want to make it a good dealfor the united kingdom. the theory reluctant to back any austerity measures. the dup witty that people have become tired of austerity. we did not want the means testing on winter fuel allowance and the changes to disability benefits. two years ago, they said they would

only support the party at the repealed the bedroom tax. the other big issue is going to be brexit. they do not like this idea of no deal is better than a bad deal. the acting that whatever arrangement is made, it does not diminish the sense of britishness of people within northern ireland. they do not want the situation of people going to belfast to scotland on the car are fairly having to take their passports. thank you. it is clear that a number of senior conservatives are trying to pack the position of theresa may, even when

we learn that any potential deal between the government and the dup have not been cemented. she is really fighting for her political life. the headlines on bbc news. downing street and the dup sea at deal has not been finalised between the two parties. for much chancellor george osborne described theresa may as a dead walking. the fake suicide belts designed to spread terror in the london bridge attack.

sport now and we can get a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. england's youngsters in the under 20 world cup having beaten italy. no scoring as yet in the final against venezuela. it is all live on bbc two. scotland manager gordon strachan said the 2—2 draw with england was the most emotional game of his career. before the start, we would have

probably taken a draw, so we cannot keep the two disappointed. we do not know how many points it is going to take. you have short—term and long—term objectives. i was short—term objectives. i was short—term objectives is to get to the world cup finals. we cannot wait to qualify for the finals, but i think there is a lot of things we can improve on. a comeback performance by bolt in

jamaica last night. it was a fantastic night. over my career, i only in to be a champion at the 200m, but obviously things became very big, but i could not have done that without the support of my family and friends. and all the people here. i want to thank all of you. iam people here. i want to thank all of you. i am so grateful for people here. i want to thank all of you. i am so gratefulfor all people here. i want to thank all of you. i am so grateful for all the support you have always shown me. that is all the sport for no.

scotland yard has released pictures of the fake suicide belts worn by the london bridge attackers. the officer leading the investigation says it is the first time he has seen the tactic used in the uk. the cathedral opened its doors for the first time since the attack this morning. the cathedral was in the area that was cordoned off after the attack. our correspondent richard lister is outside the cathedral for us. 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. he can maybe seedy boarded—up door,

which was broken down by police, who we re which was broken down by police, who were searching to make sure that the attack or not hating. —— trading. since then, this area has been pretty much on lockdown. this 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 1,400 years and 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. so, things are getting back to some sort of normality, but the market is still shut and cordoned off. residents have been allowed back in. it will be some time before the ebf has been restored to normal. you can

see the private security firm members in charge although there has been quite a police presence in the last few hours. of course, the investigation is still continuing. the area still not quite back to normal. 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 10—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. his co—hostjeremy clarkson tweeted that it was the "biggest" and "most frightening" crash he'd seen. lets get a look at the weather prospects, with phil avery. it is a day of sunny spells and blustery showers. many places seem more showers than sunshine. the bulk of the really heavy showers will be across scotland and northern ireland. there may be thunder and lightning. some showers get across—the—board into the top of the pennines. more showers across the north midlands and into parts of wales in the south—west later. the further south and east you are, the drier and

brighter your day will be. pollen and uv levels will be very high. longer spells of rain overnight in scotland. those will continue first thing on monday. some sunshine the further south you are. hello. this is bbc news. downing street and the democratic unionist party have both insisted that no parliamentary pact has yet been agreed between them. the defence secretary says any pact would only apply to "big issues". it falls on us now to build a government in the national interest and that is what we are working with

other friends in the and that is what we are working with otherfriends in the dup and that is what we are working with other friends in the dup to do. dup leader, arlene foster is expected in london on tuesday, she says there had been some good discussions on reaching a deal but nothing is finalised. one that will bring stability to the nation and those discussions continuing, we made good progress with the discussions. amid the confusion over attempts to secure a majority, there's now open speculation over the prime minister's future. to reason may is a dead woman walking. it's just how long she is going to remain on death row. i think we will know very shortly. in other words, we could easily get to the middle of next week at all colla pses for the middle of next week at all collapses for her. labour leader, jeremy corbyn, says there could be another election soon and he is preparing an alternative queen's speech. we are quite ready and able to put
