after beating stan wawrinka in paris. the latest win earned the spaniard a 15th grand slam crown. that's in the gulf news. so let's begin. with me is henry bonsu who is a broadcaster and international conference host. but to see you. always nice to have you. of course, so much to discuss, the papers have been grappling with these since friday morning. it's been amazing. incredible, and if the financial times is using the phrase dead woman walking, others papers have that headline as well. it's phenomenal. pretty damning, isn't it? it carries more force because it came from the minister sacked by theresa may, and it contrasts markedly with the way in which she
5:47 am
projected herself during the campaign as strong and stable theresa may who needed a big mandate to plan there all pilots the brexit and when you consider the hubris with which he presented itself is now been met with its nemesis and now been met with its nemesis and now this showdown is essentially hurt trying to present herself as the only person who ping at these talks through to the backbench, the 1922 committee of tory mps will be furious at this act of self harm, some people have described it, because the election wasn't good for the conservative, they had a working majority of 12 and they ended up nine seats short. i mean, you know. michael gove has even got a job in the cabinet. he is back as well and he of course was the challenger to her. he was, the man she sucked saying you need to go and earn some loyalty. it is a sign of her wea kness loyalty. it is a sign of her weakness he has been brought back already. so it will be a difficult
5:48 am
cabinet meeting for her today, very difficult few days but the question that many are asking is how long is this situation went to last? in interviews on the weekend she said going in that if all it did i would serve for five years and some people are saying it may not even be five days, depends on the cabinet meeting today, she has lost authority and the backbench, the 1922 committee, the backbench, the 1922 committee, the so—called men in grey suits with margaret thatcher all of those years ago, she is no margaret thatcher. we we re ago, she is no margaret thatcher. we were about to bring in david college green but we will do that at a moment, he is not there yet, but the irish times, we will look at that. you mentioned the pressure on her in the cabinet in the uk and england but let's look at the island issue pressure on may as talks continue over deal with the dup. indeed! a relationship that she is said is one that has been there for a long time and is amicable. but the whole issue

of ireland and the other parties in ireland, how they digests this new relationship, is not going to be easy. under the famous good friday agreement which brought peace to northern ireland, the british government is meant to be an honest broker and not to close to the nationalist or the unionists. at of course if the british government is being propped up either dup, which is considered by some to be extremely socially conservative, anti—gay rights, anti— abortion rights, can they really be seen as an honest broker, especially if on this so—called confidence and supply motion, it depends on them for. any deals at once get through the house of commons on finance and confidence issues. many people are saying be careful if you go forward into an official deal with the dup, they could bring you down at any time and what will you betray that the deal. let's bring in david. you've been
5:50 am
gauging the mood and talking to experts on college green and also looking through the papers. give us your thoughts. i've kept a couple, reflecting one of them was the telegraph, talking about michael gove, as henry was saying, maybe theresa may only has five days left instead of five years but isn't it extraordinary what happens in politics that batman, perhaps the bet, of the conservatives only a couple of months ago, he hears, admitted himself, but the other side of the coin if you like, sorry about the two states, —— tea stains, i couldn't wait for my cup of tea. the speculation will continue into the race some sense of speculation will continue into the race some sense of stability for theresa may and thought it was interesting i wonder what henry thinks about this, but from the very moment that this was clearly bad result, theresa may had decided she was staying, she's tried to get on with stuff so i don't think we will see any delay in negotiations with
5:51 am
regard to brexit for example. she has reshuffled, it may not be the reshuffle she already wanted but she hasn't hung around, she wants to give a message that if we get back to work and back to business, people can speculate but the business is being done. all right, thank you. let's move on to france and for different story! —— what a different story. interesting the french people are choosing a whole new party, a whole new future, en marche led by macron. it was in one of the established parties but it's incredible that momentum behind his land new party. many of whom who will be in the assembly have got very little political experience. this is what happens when you write a populist wave, it was meant to be the front nationale but a french didn't work for them, what they have gone for and what they think is new blood, different kind of politics,
5:52 am
and if you look at that le figaro headline, towards a crushing majority because in the first round of these two state elections, there is talk of his party getting something like 400 dutch 440 out of the 577 seats available in the assembly. i did french many moons ago so i love all of this.|j assembly. i did french many moons ago so i love all of this. i can tell! especially given his party did exist all this time ago, it will help the reforms he feels are essential to take france back towards prosperity and people are very happy with him. we will keep a close eye on that. let's talk about donald trump. what me? -- must we? it was never going to have a very warm reception. regardless of what happened between then and now. but things are even more tricky given

his tweeting comments, following what siddique khan had to say after the bombing. he deliberately misrepresented what mayor khan had to say and from the recent elections, in london, it is a very socially progressive, politically aggressive city, so it tends to the left but he was worth going to have a difficult time being popular here but given the way in which he spoke, given the way in which he has trashed how the country and the city responded to those attacks, he knew, i think, he was going to attract record crowds but not in the way that rock 0bama did, as in a rock star, people were saying you are not welcome, go back to the states and build your wall, not on our watch. he didn't want that. some people on twitter are calling him a snowflake because he cannot take that criticism. now let's talk about rafael nadal, what a fantastic comeback for him, the first grand slam win since 200015, he had
5:54 am
several debilitating injuries and many of us thought we had seen the last of him. —— 2015 he is back on track. i watched nearly all of it andi track. i watched nearly all of it and i was actually sorry for warwrinka who himself is a very powerful, dominant player and can bully people into submission as he did with djokovic but it it was so one—sided and rafa put barely a foot wrong. it was fantastic. i was delighted for him. i'm wondering could he catch roger federer — i am a roger federer man myself. grace, a lady. —— ballet. a roger federer man myself. grace, a lady. -- ballet. thank you for coming in, thank you for your company, more for you at the top of the tower. hello, there. showers overnight continue into the morning across parts of scotland and northern ireland in particular. all linked into an area of low pressure which has been pushing across northern scotland. as it clears away however
5:55 am
into the morning there is a slight tightening of isobars and that means that winds strengthening a little bit for a time during the morning rush hour. northern england, northern ireland, central southern scotland in particular. could see wind touch 40, 50 miles per hour. there could be a few restrictions on the bridges and maybe on some of the ferry services, but the further north you are across scotland, lighter winds to start the day. still some showers around among central and western areas. nowhere near as heavy as we saw through sunday. a few showers maybe just catch you during morning rush hour in northern ireland and northern parts of england but again they should be lighter than we saw during yesterday. further south, only isolated showers, the vast majority will be dry. a bit of cloud in places and there will be sunshine breaking through. a blustery wind but we will see more in the way of sunshine break through that cloud as we head into the afternoon, particularly through southern and eastern areas. by the afternoon, very few showers around, mainly in the western parts of scotland and north—western england. by and large, a much drier and brighter day than we saw through sunday. with the wind coming in from the west, 14, 15 degrees in some western coasts
5:56 am
today but the eastern coast could hit 19 to 21 degrees. most finish the day on a dry note with clear skies around. winds falling lighter through monday evening into tuesday morning. it could lead to a few mist and fog patches, little bit cooler in places compared to the last few nights. into tuesday morning, we see cloud return to parts of northern ireland and western scotland, and western parts of england and wales threatening some patches of rain and drizzle. all linked into these weather fronts. but they are running to an area of high pressure which is trying to expand across the country. what that tends to do is squeeze out the weather fronts a little bit. so not a huge amount of wet weather around, maybe the odd heavy shower in scotland, occasional light rain or drizzle in parts of northern ireland and the far north—west of england. but most will be dry. we will see hazy sunshine in places, could hit 18 or 19 degrees again in north—eastern parts of scotland. the temperatures rise in the south—east, 20—23 possible here. into wednesday, there are southerly winds touching gale force in the highlands and ireland. rain to come here. hazy sunshine, but a dry day for most of us on wednesday and by this stage the
5:57 am
warmest day of the week. it could see 20—22 across eastern scotland, possibly 26 or 27 in the south—east corner. that is the warmest day of the week. it will turn cooler through the rest of the week. the breeze returns as well and patchy rain mainly limited to the north and west. just a small risk on thursday morning of thunderstorms in the south east. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin theresa may prepares to face criticism of her election campaign and leadership style in a meeting with her own backbenchers. today, the prime minister need to explain to the mps why the election result was a disaster. we will be asking experts about the future of britain. we also have our very own
