this is bbc news. the headlines at 2.00. a deal‘s been agreed which will see the dup support theresa may's conservative government. the party's ten mps will back the tories in key commons votes. this agreement to deliver a stable government in the united kingdom's national interest at this vital time. the government says it will offer support to councils — after cladding on 60 high—rise buildings across england fails fire safety tests. theresa may will set out this afternoon what she's prepared to offer eu nationals living in the uk after brexit. a minute's silence is observed — in memory of those affected in the finsbury park mosque terror attack. also coming up, the dawn of a new

era for the navy. a new aircraft carrier, the hms queen elizabeth, is due to set sail for the first time from a dockyard in fife. good afternoon, and welcome to bbc news. it's taken 18 days.. and some critics are describing it simply as a ‘bung' — but a deal has now been done between the dup and the conservatives — which will guarantee the party's support for theresa may's minority government. in what's described as a two—year ‘confidence and supply‘ arrangement. there will be £1 billion extra for health and education in northern ireland. the prime minister has agreed to keep the triple lock on pensions and winter fuel payments. why has it taken so long?

theresa may had wanted to seal a deal with the dup soon after the election, but it's taken two and a half weeks. so it was with relief that she came out to greet her new allies and potential political saviours in downing street. the dup leader, arlene foster, admitted progress had been slow, but her claim to be at the heart of uk politics seemed to be borne out by the signing of a formal agreement with the government. today we have an agreement with the conservative party on support for government in parliament. and she swiftly announced which parts of the conservative manifesto she'd succeeded in vetoing. both parties have agreed there will be no change to the pension triple—lock and the universal nature of the winter fuel payment across united kingdom. and she revealed how much the government was willing to pay for her support. we welcome this financial support of £1 billion in the next two years, as well as providing new flexibility and an almost £500 million previously committed to

northern ireland. as a consequence, spending power of almost £1.5 billion will be available to address the unique circumstances of northern ireland. so what else does this handshake mean? the deal is intended to last for a full parliament and would ensure support for laws on national security, guaranteed financial support forfarmers, maintain defence spending as a share of national income, and of course deliver brexit. the deal with the dup means theresa may will win a crucial vote in the queen's speech — her legislative programme for the next two years — here at westminster on wednesday, but the scope of that deal is limited. it doesn't mean she will get support on a whole range of other issues in parliament which means she will still face knife edge boats in this place in the coming months. but there is a bigger issue. the good friday agreement, signed nearly 20 years ago, largely ended the conflict in northern ireland.

theresa may's critics says it could not be at risk. theresa may has abandoned her even handedness. the consequences could be it being much more difficult to get the peace process up and running in northern ireland again. it could still be stalled. but the government says an extra £1 billion will help the peace process, and encourage the return of the power—sharing executive to the problems. this money will be spent by the northern ireland executive, it won't be spent by a party, it will be spent by an executive which has to be, by law, cross—party so everyone in northern ireland will be able to express priorities and benefit from this extra support. "incredibly influential" — that's how arlene foster has

described her ten mps, the details of today's the make that difficult to dispute. we have just had some we havejust had some reaction we have just had some reaction to that deal in. jeremy corbyn has said, cuts to vital services must be halted across the uk, notjust in northern ireland. the government must answer as on where the money for the tory dup deal is coming from, and we'll all parts of the uk received the much—needed funding? goes on to say that the deal is not in the country's interest, but in theresa may's interest. that is the statement released by jeremy theresa may's interest. that is the statement released byjeremy corbyn in response to the deal. as we've heard — there could be considerable fallout to this deal in northern ireland.

the dup hasn't been involved in negotiations at such a high level in westminster before, but has taken part in many talks processes in northern ireland. the latest deadline to restore the power—sharing stormont executive is thursday. northern ireland faces the prospect of direct rule from westminster if no breakthrough can be achieved. 0ur ireland correspondent, chris page, reports. the dup began as a party of protest, now it's very much a party of power. its founder, the reverend ian paisley, once embodied hardline unionism. never, never, never! but eventually there was a remarkable compromise. in 2007, the dup reached an agreement with sinn fein. mr paisley became the joint head of a power—sharing devolved government, along with the former ira commander, martin mcguinness. however, the relationship between the parties was never easy. earlier this year, sinn fein pulled out of the stormont executive. northern ireland has been without a devolved government

for almost six months. two deadlines have already come and gone, but the government says thursday really is the final date to restore power—sharing, otherwise it's likely ministers in london have to take over making decisions for this part of the uk. this former dup minister thinks the deal in westminster increases the prospect of one at stormont. all politicians here will want to see extra money for health and education, if there is extra money coming for specific infrastructure projects, that will benefit everyone in northern ireland, notjust dup voters. there are a number of sticking points at stormont, sinn fein want legal recognition for the irish language. the dup have been opposed to bringing in same—sex marriage in northern ireland. some observers think nationalists will be wary of the deal between the main unionist party and the conservatives. sinn fein in particular and the other ones that count are going to be very suspicious of what's in the deal

because even if there is a document and details, first they have to decide if there's anything else behind—the—scenes that we don't know, what could there be, what might there be? the key question here is that the agreement to stabilise the uk government will help to bring stability to northern ireland. there are just over three days left to save devolution. 0ur political correspondent, chris mason, is in downing street. he has been there covering things all morning. they got there in the end, chris. they did. it took awhile. there was a book written after the coalition agreement between the conservatives and the lib dems back in 2010, called five daysin lib dems back in 2010, called five days in may. it is now 18 days in june, fora days in may. it is now 18 days in june, for a much, days in may. it is now 18 days in june, fora much, much days in may. it is now 18 days in june, for a much, much looser arrangement between the conservatives and the democratic unionists than there was back then between the conservatives and the

lib dems. confidence and supply is the rather nerdy language used to describe this deal. it is the dup saying, we will back you on the very big votes, so issues on confidence if the government faces a motion of no—confidence, the would back the conservatives. they will back the queen's speech, they will back budget and brexit legislation. that sounds like a long list, but there isa sounds like a long list, but there is a vastly longer list of the kind of things that governments conventionally try and get through the house of commons. along those measures, the dup say they will examine it on a case—by—case basis, so there will be plenty of knife edge votes here in the house of commons, where it will simply be not clear whether the conservatives can get what they want through the house of commons. in addition, there already is a huge amount of questioning over all that extra

money going in the direction of northern ireland. an extra £1 billion of extra money, £100 million for every one of the ten dup mps. questions are being asked in wales, scotla nd questions are being asked in wales, scotland and the endless regions which effectively amount to, what about us? northern ireland is relatively poor compared to many other regions of the uk. the obvious counter response to that is, yes, but that's been the case for a long time. surely you are just doing this because politics requires you to do so. that is the tenor of the criticism coming in the way of the conservatives. finally, even with this deal, there is a working majority for the conservatives and the dup of just 13, majority for the conservatives and the dup ofjust 13, nowhere near the the dup ofjust13, nowhere near the number that the tories and the lib dems had in the last parliament. so all is required is a minibus full of

disgruntled conservative mps, all the dup delegation, to say on the eve of a vote here, we don't like the look of this and we are tempted to rebel. when that happens, theresa may will find herself with yet another headache. beware the minibus! thank you. let's talk now to lord hain. thank you for being with us. this is a good dealfor northern ireland, isn't it, an extra £1 billion? any new money for any part of the uk is welcome to the people in it, but it is only to one part of the uk. what about wales, scotland or the english regions? i live in wales. anyone living anywhere else apart from northern ireland will say, we need better health services, better roads, infrastructure, our agricultural support needs to be better, our schools are at their limits... so this is a very partisan

andi limits... so this is a very partisan and i believe toxic deal by a toxic prime minister to keep herself in government at the expense of the rest of the united kingdom, which isn't going to get any more money for health services, schools or anything else, and it's done with one party, the dup, not with all the northern ireland parties, as it should have been if a deal such as this financially, giving more money, it should have been done with everybody. the dup says it's in the interests of the stability of the uk government, and with brexit talks under way, surely the country needs a stable government? brexit is in real difficulty, of the kind that theresa may originally wanted, which is the hard right brexit. even with the dup for that agenda. and by the way, the northern ireland border

with the republic of ireland, which everybody says it should be open and soft like it is now, in visible light kit is now, cannot be achieved with a hard right brexit, where we leave the single market and the customs union. it puts in question whether the prime minister can be evenhanded any more in the northern ireland peace process, as her predecessors were before her, going right the way back tojohn major. they were not in the pocket of any one party. her very life as a prime minister now depends on a deal done with the dup. what if she upsets them in the efforts to get stormont, them in the efforts to get stormont, the assembly and the government, the self—governance of northern ireland up self—governance of northern ireland up and running again? what if that is compromised, and beyond that, the difficult issues northern ireland still faces. what if that is compromised because everyone is

suspicious of her now. some people say it might do the opposite, because it has been stipulated this money will only be released to the power—sharing executive in belfast, so that increases the pressure on the dup to get a power—sharing executive up and running, if they wa nt executive up and running, if they want that money spent in northern ireland. i hope so, because i want to see that self—government restored, and if it can be achieved by thursday, fantastic. i don't criticise the dup forgetting more money for northern ireland. my criticism is that the prime minister is fatally compromised, not only in respect of the other parties in a deeply divided northern ireland, but in respect of the united kingdom. the needs that northern ireland faces arejust as much needs that northern ireland faces are just as much apparent elsewhere. council tax and water charges in

northern ireland are massively lower than they are for the average citizen in wales, scotland and the english regions, and yet this bung, this extra money, is being given to northern ireland, after seven years of the austerity that the whole of the uk has faced. we are used to sta ble the uk has faced. we are used to stable majority government in this country, but in plenty of european countries, there are deals done between political parties. that is the way of politics. but other countries where that happens to not have a northern ireland legacy to manage. it is not so long ago when the bombs and the bullets were erupting in northern ireland. i don't think we will go back to that, but it is absolutely essential that a british prime minister must be seen as an honest broker, to use john major, the former conservative prime minister said, i am, as a

secretary of state, afraid that the interests of theresa may have been put ahead of the interests of the peace protest, and the interests of wales, scotland and the english regions as well. thank you for your time. the headlines on bbc news: the democratic unionist party has signed a deal to support theresa may's minority government. the government says it will offer support to councils after cladding on 60 high—rise buildings across to england failed fire safety tests. the prime minister will set out details of how the government plans to treat more than 3 million eu citizens living in the uk after brexit. in sport, the former ajax

and inter coach has been confirmed as the new crystal palace manager, succeeding sam allardyce, who left after keeping the club in the premier league last season. less than ideal wimbledon preparation for british number two kyle edmund. he was beaten in three sets by america's donald young. and desperate is how the all blacks coach has described complaints about his side's tactics by warren gatland. he accused them of deliberately targeting scrum half colin murray. every single one of the 60 tower blocks that has been tested since the fire at grenfell tower, has failed fire safety tests — and more than 500 more still need to be tested because they have external cladding. the prime minister is expected to be updated on the scale of the crisis when she chairs a meeting of the grenfell tower recover

taskforce later today. 0ur correspondent tom burridge reports. residents in camden still moving up this morning. matteo and angela told us they didn't feel safe. we don't own the flat and so we found out from an article online that we had to move out so we came back straightaway and we found lots of people, told us we couldn't sleep here. it was for some a third night sleeping in a sports centre. so many people and their pets suddenly without a home. hundreds moved out at the weekend as cladding similar to that on grenfell tower was stripped off. many, though, have stayed put, and experts say the cladding is just one factor. it's an in total combination of things, you can have a cladding fire and no one be killed,

we've seen that in dubai and melbourne in australia, but i think what camden have found, is there is something far more complex is going on in here, and that's why they've taken the action have. in other parts of the country like here in billingham in county durham more cladding is being removed. similar scenes are expected in doncaster. samples of the suspect cladding had been brought to the building research establishment in watford, this old company video shows a test on building insulation, not cladding. but on a smaller scale samples of cladding from 60 buildings from across the country have now been tested and not one has passed. what's not clear is whether the company's tests are stricter than national bio—safety standards before grenfell tower. and in portsmouth, the authorities are urging the government to also think and possibly act on privately owned buildings to. owned buildings too. there's been a lot of hotels and other types of buildings

that have been clad, we don't know at this stage whether there is problems in those as well but there may very well be because the same companies built them. and private sector developments have not been obliged to send away samples, and i think that's something the government to look at, there ought to be some consistency if the material is on safe on one type of building, it's unsafe on all. samples of cladding from hundreds more buildings are due to be tested, this afternoon the prime minister will meet the grenfell tower task force. 0ne central question is how cladding for which apparently breached fire safety rules was installed on tower blocks across the country. thousands of residents from four tower blocks in north—west london are being housed in temporary accommodation after being told to leave their homes on friday following fire safety concerns. 0ur correspondent keith doyle is at a nearby leisure centre where many of them were taken to. what is the situation as it stands?

the building behind me has been at the centre of this evacuation process since late friday night. then, over 100 people slept on air beds in the leisure centre. last night, it was just 1a. beds in the leisure centre. last night, it wasjust 1a. the rest of the 4000 residents night, it wasjust 14. the rest of the 4000 residents have either been found temporary accommodation, or have refused to leave their flats in the four blocks. camden council says that they really want those people to move, that they cannot carry out the essential fire safety works until the blocks are empty. many people are saying, the cladding went up people are saying, the cladding went up when people were in there, why can't it come down when people are in there? there is a lot of upset and disruption. 0ne in there? there is a lot of upset and disruption. one woman was almost in tears, saying she has been housed ina in tears, saying she has been housed in a hotel room, it is hot and stuffy, she has four children and

says it has one bed and a single cooker ring. there are other problems. people with dogs. there is a man with a cat who is distraught. he doesn't know where to go, he is simply wandering around with his cat ina box, simply wandering around with his cat in a box, looking for somewhere to stay. there is a lot of upset and disruption here in camden. thank you. the former archbishop of canterbury, lord carey, has resigned. he was criticised in investigations in to the church's handling of abuse carried out by bishop peter ball. ball was jailed in 2015 for historic offences against young men. now, steering the royal navy's new £6 billion aircraft carrier out of port this afternoon will be a nerve—jangling affair for the team taking her out for her first sea trials.

they have just 50 centimetres between the bottom of hms queen elizabeth and the seabed — and that's not a lot of room for a vessel weighing 65,000 tonnes. and once at sea they're expected to attract rather a lot of unwelcome attention — from the russians. let's got live now to rosyth on the firth of forth where we can see hms queen elizabeth begin her maiden voyage. it isa it is a very complex menus to get this ship out of its dock. the ship is very large, three times larger than the previous class of ships. it will take about 11 tugs to manoeuvre it out of the entrance to the doc that you can see behind me. there is a very small gap on either side of the warship. about a foot on either side of clearance, and a couple of feet from the bottom of the ship to the sea bed. so they are waiting for high tide. i think it mightjust be moving very slowly now as we speak. we think it is going to depart within the next hour or so, but even

then, of course, the manoeuvring isn't yet over. it is waiting for high tide to leave the docks, and after that it will head out into the deep water channel here in the firth of forth, where it will park up for several hours, waiting then for low tide, so it can then get through the bridges and head out into the north sea. this ship has been a long time coming. it has taken nine years to build. so large is the build project that no one yard was big enough to com plete that no one yard was big enough to complete the work. it had to be done at several yards throughout the uk. it is several billion pounds worth of bills. a state—of—the—art ship that has a life span of 50 years. we anticipate a lot of interest in this aircraft carrier, not least from people all along the foreshore here

this afternoon, waiting for it to set sail. when it heads out on to its seed trials, it's possible the russians may get a close look at it, wanting to get a sense of its acoustic footprint and its capability. they may have some ships and planes waiting for it to head out into the north sea. that is still to come. for now, it is its manoeuvre out of the fourth of firth here, and out under the bridges into open sea. thank you. a 26-year-old from rochdale has died after taking what is believed to be a form of the drug mdma. ten people have been admitted to hospital after taking the drug over the weekend, and four are in intensive care. police say the drugs are known locally as magic or pink champagne. a 26—year—old man has been held and released on

suspicion of supplying class a drugs. a minute's silence has been observed across the country to remember those affected by the terrorist attack near the finsbury park mosque in london last week. one man died and several were injured. darren 0sborne, who's 47 and from cardiff, has been charged with murder and attempted murder. 0ur religious affairs correspondent, martin bashir, is outside islington town hall, one of the locations where the silence was marked. the floral tribute in finsbury park a reminder of eventsjust the floral tribute in finsbury park a reminder of events just a week ago. the fourth terrorist attack in just three months. and at midday, a minute's silence. the nation invited to pause and remember those impacted by this latest attack. and then, gathered outside the old in, civic leaders, the local mayor and members of staff, many living locally all

avid to show solidarity with the muslim community in this part of north london. a gesture greatly appreciated by the chel finsbury park mosque. we know that we are a diverse community here in islington. we have lived for a long time and never had problems. people have tried to divide us, and they have failed. we have proved that in the last few days. i'm really glad that islington and our country have got together to make sure that these people fail. with the end of ramadan at the weekend, there is normally a sense of joyous at the weekend, there is normally a sense ofjoyous celebration amongst muslims, but following the attack last monday, joy has been replaced by sober remembrance. we will be live in the house of commons shortly, to hear about the

government's offer to eu nationals in the uk post—brexit. but first, the weather. the weather this weekend is —— this week is not looking great. there are a few showers across scotland right now. we are all for some rain over the next few days, some of us getting more than others, but the first spell of rain is heading in the direction of northern ireland, and will reach you this evening. 0vernight, the weather front will push across northern ireland in to scotla nd push across northern ireland in to scotland and clipped wales as well. to the south of that, it will stay dry. quite a warm night again. tomorrow, a case of hit and miss rain pretty much anywhere in the uk. there might even be some thunderstorms around in south—eastern areas. basically, a lot of cloud and blobs of rain almost anywhere, so we will need our

brollies tomorrow, i think. hello. the dup will support theresa may's minority conservative government. today we have reached an agreement with the conservative party in support of them for government, delivering a stable government in the national interest of the united kingdom at this vital time. nxt minutes, the prime minister will set out the full details of the rights it wants to give eu citizens living in britain after brexit. we will give you that speech live from the house of commons shortly. councils will be supported by the government

to address fire safety concerns after cladding on 60 high—rise buildings across england failed safety tests an inquest has opened into the deaths of five young friends, who drowned during a day trip a minute's silence is observed — in memory of the victim of the finsbury park mosque terror attack, where one man died and several people were injured. frank de boer has been named as new manager of crystal palace, the dutchman won four titles in charge of but —— in charge of ajax but lasted only a feud days at inter milan. wimbledon hopefuls have begun qualifying at roehampton, among them, marcus willis of britain,

( 00v next) kyle edmund has been beaten in the first round by the american donald young. the british number two lost the first set 6—4 but won the second 6-3..// but the first set 6—4 but won the second 6—3..// but the world number 55 soon broke edmund and went on to take the deciding set by 6—3. wild card naomi broady also lost in the first round, against kristyna pliskova. the czech took the first 6—2, and whilst broady took the second on a tie—break, pliskova won the decider 6-1. tie—break, pliskova won the decider 6—1. heather watson and cameron norrie both play later. there's acrimony at

the start of a big week for the british and irish lions. before the must win second test with the all blacks, there's a game against the hurricanes tomorrow. lions coach warren gatland criticised their opponents' tactics after the first test defeat but all blacks coach steve hansen hit back, live on new zealand radio. predictable comments, two weeks ago, we cheated in the scrums, last week, blocking, now it is this. it is really disappointing, what it is implying is that we are intentionally going out to bully people, that is not the case, we have never been like that. we are not intentionally trying to hurt anybody. adding to the intensity. gatland says he plans on speaking to the referee ahead of the game. as for the players, well they seem to just be getting on with it. physicality is one of the main

components of rugby. everybody would use it in abundance. i don't think we take it too far. sometimes, in the moment, hats somebody will stick out an arm, hit them higher, but it not intentional. people make mistakes. obviously, it is down to the officials, at the end of the day, what happens on the pitch. formula one world championship leader sebastian vettel has been urged to "calm down" after his punishment for dangerous driving at the azerbaijan grand prix. that was the suggestion of race winner daniel ricciardo after the collision between vettel and title rival lewis hamilton that dominated the post—race discussion. both drivers blamed each other but only vettel was penalised and hamilton called him a "disgrace". however, vettel finished ahead of hamilton to extend his lead in the standings to 14 points. if he wants to prove it, he should

do it out of the car, face—to—face, if he wants to prove himself a man. driving dangerously can put any driver at risk. if we had been going faster, it could have been a lot worse. imagine all the young kids watching and seeing that kind of behaviour. makes things a little bit more interesting. that is all the sport for now, we will be back in the next hour. we can now go live to the house of commons where the prime minister is to give further details on the government's offer to eu nationals living in the uk post—brexit theresa may is about to give further details to mps on the government's offer to eu nationals living in the uk post—brexit. lets speak to our political correspondent, leila nathoo, at westminster.

the broad thrust has already been set out, 3 million eu citizens currently live in the uk, this has been one of the central points of the brexit negotiations, both sides have made play that this is one of the biggest issues that they want to address, the us has set out its thinking on eu rights. they want eu citizens here and eu citizens —— british citizens abroad to have the same things they currently enjoy. but theresa may says he wants eu citizens who have been near lawfully for five years to be given a package of rights called settled status, giving them access to welfare, benefits, pensions, a new status, but so far, some unanswered questions, which we expect theresa may to set out in her statement to the commons shortly, then there will bea the commons shortly, then there will be a document published, no sooner had she made the statement to mps. a couple of questions she still needs to answer, what we hope to get clarity on, things like what the cut—off date will be for when the eu

citizens who are currently here can apply for the new settled status, who will be the arbiter of this new system, britishjudges, who will be the arbiter of this new system, british judges, european judges, that is certainly what the european side, the eu side, have said they want to see. and questions about what will happen with dependence and relatives of eu nationals given to this new settled status. plenty of questions to be answered, hopefully we will get clarity when the prime minister steps up in a few minutes. eu nationals living here looking for clarity, no doubt the representatives of eu citizens themselves will also be looking at this because this initial offer has been described as slightly pathetic by some of those. it is a key issue for both sides, there was a lukewarm response to theresa may's plans that she outlined at the summit last week. we heard from those on the eu side that said this was a good start, then comments that it was not

sufficient. i think there is likely to be some discrepancy certainly in what the eu have put forward in terms of thinking, they want full rights, everything stays the same for both eu citizens that are currently here and british citizens that are in eu member states. certainly, the initial response to the broad outline that theresa may has set out, on the eu side, has been a little dismissive, we can hear more detail. theresa may getting up in the commons now. statement on last week 's european council and the proposals we are publishing today which on a reciprocal basis seek to give reassurance and certainty to eu citizens have made their homes and lives in our country. this council followed the formal start of negotiations for the united kingdom's departure from the eu, as well as marking the first anniversary of the referendum that led to that decision. in that referendum, the british people chose

to take back control of our laws, our money and our borders, restore supremacy to this parliament, and reclaim our sense of national self—determination. and this government will fulfil the democratic will of the british people. but, the referendum... the referendum was not a vote to turn our backs on our friends and neighbours, as we become ever more internationalist in our outlook and build the global britain we want to see, we will continue to be reliable partners, willing allies and close friends with all the member states of the european union. we want to work, we want to work with one another to make sure we are all safer, more secure and more prosperous through continued friendship. we want to buy each other's goods and services and trade as freely as possible and we will continue to celebrate and defend the liberal democratic values that we share, and project those values that

are the foundation of our freedom and our way of life. in short, we wa nt and our way of life. in short, we want to build what i have described asa want to build what i have described as a new, deep and a special partnership between a confident, self—governing global britain and all our friends and allies in the european union. mr speaker, that is the positive and constructive spirit in which my right honourable friend the secretary of state for exiting the secretary of state for exiting the european union began the formal negotiations last week. it is the same spirit in which the united kingdom made a full contribution to all the issues of this council including on security, migration, climate change and trade. on security, i thanked our european partners for their condolences and for their resolve in standing with us for their resolve in standing with us following the appalling terrorist attacks that the uk has suffered in re ce nt attacks that the uk has suffered in recent weeks. those attacks have seen citizens from across europe tragically killed and injured. but they have also seen our citizens

standing together in some of the most inspiring ways. at london bridge, we saw a spanish banco tragically killed, as he rushed to the aid of a woman being attacked. we saw a remaining the aid of a woman being attacked. we sawa remaining in bakerfighting off the terrorists and giving shelter to londoners in his bakery. these moments of heroism show how far from dividing us such attacks on our way of life will only ever serve to strengthen our shared unity and resolve. these attacks also show that we need to respond to a new trend in the threats we face, as terrorism beats terrorism, and perpetrators are in spite to attack by copying one another using the crudest of means. building on the bilateral agreement i reached with president emmanuel macron earlier this month, at this council i argued we must come together to defeat the hateful and extremist ideologies that inspire these attacks. and to

stop the internet from being used as a safe space for extremists. when one third of all links to propaganda are shared within the first hour of release, it is not enough for technology companies to respond reactively, to extremist content on their platforms. so the council agreed to put pressure on these companies to do more to remove this content automatically, and also to insure that law enforcement agencies can access encrypted data. this was a significant step forward, and we will continue to work together with european partners to combat this evil, defend values, and keep citizens safe. turning to other issues, on migration, the council recommitted to the comprehensive approach that the uk has advocated, dealing with the drivers of migration while doing more to stem the flow. at this summit i confirmed a new uk commitment of £75 billion to meet urgent humanitarian needs in

the central mediterranean, also facilitating voluntary returns of migrants making these treacherous journeys. on trade, as the uk leaves the european union, we will forge trade deals around the world with old friends and new allies alike but this will not undermine the eu's trade agenda, it is not even in competition with it. for as long as we remain part of the eu, we will continue to press for an ambitious trade agenda that can deliverjobs and growth across the continent. that is what i did at this council, where there was a particular focus on the work towards deal with japan, mexico, and the block of south american countries. and on climate change, the council reaffirmed the commitment of all member states to fully implement the paris agreement. the uk has already reaffirmed its own commitment and i have expressed my disappointment to president trump that he has taken a different decision. we will continue to make

the case to american allies to think again. turning to citizens rights, eu citizens make an invaluable contribution to the united kingdom, to the economy, public services and everyday lives, they are an integral pa rt of everyday lives, they are an integral part of the economic, cultural and social fabric of this country and i have always been clear that i want to protect their rights, that is why i initially sought an agreement on this before we triggered article 50. and it is why i am making it an immediate priority at the beginning of negotiations. that agreement must be reciprocal, because we must protect the rights of uk citizens living in eu member states as well. at the council, i set out some of the principles i believe should underline that reciprocal agreement and there was a very positive response from individual leaders and a strong sense of mutual goodwill in trying to reach such an agreement as soon as possible. today, we publish detailed proposals to do exactly

that. let me set out the key points for the house. first, that. let me set out the key points forthe house. first, we that. let me set out the key points for the house. first, we want certainty, i know there has been some anxiety about what will happen to eu citizens at the point we leave the european union. today, iwant to eu citizens at the point we leave the european union. today, i want to put that anxiety to rest, i want to completely reassure people that under these plans, no completely reassure people that underthese plans, no eu completely reassure people that under these plans, no eu citizen currently in the uk lawfully will be asked to leave at the point the uk leaves the eu, we want you to stay. second, any eu citizens in the uk with five years continuous residence asa with five years continuous residence as a specified cut—off date will be granted set till status. —— at a specified cut—off date. —— will be granted settled status, regarded as uk citizens, any with less than five years residence will be able to stay until they have the five years residence to apply for uk settled status. the specified cut—off date

will be the subject of discussions but it will be no earlier than the day we triggered article 50, and no later than the date we leave the eu. fourth, no families will be split up, family dependents who join fourth, no families will be split up, family dependents whojoin a qualified eu citizen here before the exit will be able to apply for settled status after five years, and after the uk has left the european union, eu citizens with settled status will be able to bring family members from overseas on the same terms as british nationals. there will be no cliff edge. there will be a grace period of up to two years to allow people to regularise status, those eu citizens who arrived in the uk after the specified cut—off date will be allowed to remain in the uk for at least a temporary period and may become eligible to settle permanently. the system of legislation that citizens go through will be as streamlined and light touch as possible and we intend to re move touch as possible and we intend to remove some of the technical requirements currently needed to

obtain permanent residence under eu rules, for example, not require anyone to demonstrate they have held comprehensive sickness insurance. we expect this offer to be extended on a reciprocal basis to nationals of norway, iceland, lichtenstein and switzerland, and the reciprocal agreement on citizens rights will apply to the entire united kingdom and gibraltar. this is all without prejudice to the common travel area arrangements which exist between the uk and ireland, we will preserve the freedoms that uk and irish nationals currently enjoy in each other's state, and irish citizens will not need to apply for permanent residence to protect these entitlements. finally, the uk will continue to export and upgrade the uk state pension and provide associated health care cover within the eu. we will continue to protect the eu. we will continue to protect the export of other benefits and associated health care cover where the individual is in receipt of the benefits on the specified cut—off date, and subject to negotiations we

wa nt date, and subject to negotiations we want to continue participating in the european health insurance card scheme so uk cardholders can continue to benefit from free or reduced cost health care while on a temporary stay in the end vice versa for eu cardholders visiting the uk. this is a fair and serious offer. our obligations are... our obligations in the withdrawal treaty with the eu will be binding on the uk as with the eu will be binding on the ukasa with the eu will be binding on the uk as a matter of international law. we will incorporate commitments into uk law, guaranteeing that we will stand firmly by our part of the deal, even 3 million eu citizens in the uk certainty about the future of their lives and a reciprocal agreement will provide the same certainty for the more than! million uk citizens living in the european union. one year on from that momentous decision to leave the european union, let us remember what we are seeking to achieve with these negotiations: we are withdrawing from a system of treaties and

bureaucracy that does not work for us, but we... we are not withdrawing from the values and solidarity that we share with european neighbours. asa we share with european neighbours. as a confident outward looking and self—governing nation, we know that it is notjust our past that is entwined in the fortunes of friends and neighbours, it is our future, entwined in the fortunes of friends and neighbours, it is ourfuture, as well, that is why we want is new, deep and special partnership and why we approach negotiations with optimism. a good deal for britain and a good deal for europe are not competing alternatives. they are the best single path to a brighter future for all shall drink and grandchildren. that i believe is the future the british people voted for and the future that i want us to secure and i commend this statements to the house. jeremy corbyn. thank you, mr speaker, first of all, can i join you in banking all start of the house of commons for all the work they did over the weekend, to ensure that our electronic systems are

safe, and i would be grateful if you could pass that on to staff. i would like to thank the prime minister for the advanced copy of the statement we have just heard. the advanced copy of the statement we havejust heard. 68 the advanced copy of the statement we have just heard. 68 days ago, the prime minister stood on the steps of downing street and ask this country to give her a strong mandate to negotiate brexit. she offered little by way of strategy plan, more hollow sound bites and grandstanding and in the past six months, the prime minister has stuck to her mantra, "no deal is better than a bad deal". .. "no deal is better than a bad deal"... and... and continued with her threats to turn britain into an offshore tax haven, aimed at undercutting the european union. that is what you said. by ripping up regulation, hacking back public services and leading a race to the bottom in pay and conditions. well, mr speaker, the british people saw through that rhetoric, saw through the threats, and instead of giving the threats, and instead of giving the prime minister the mandate she

wanted, they rejected in large numbers the deregulated, low—wage future conservative party has in mind for this country. that's right. she wanted a landslide, she lost her majority. now, her mandate is in tatters. the prime minister still insists she is the best person to get a good dealfor britain...? cheering booing and incredibly... and incredibly... incredibly, believes she is the best person to strike a deal with the very people she spent the last six months threatening and hectoring. the truth is, this country needs a new approach to brexit that a tory government simply cannot deliver! they are taking britain down a reckless path, prepared to putjobs and living standards at risk, just to maintain support within her own party. and keep the government in office. the cracks are already beginning to appear, while some in the party want to move towardtowards

labour's approach to brexit, at least in terms of... move towards labour's approach to brexit, at least in terms of protecting jobs, trade and the economy, the hard right voices on her backbenchers are still trying to force britain over a cliff edge. the prime minister needs to ignore them and she needs now to listen. as she promised to secure supremacy to this parliament? will she now be more transparent and involve it properly in the brexit negotiation process? will she now finally roll out the possibility of no deal being a viable option for this country? the choice is hers. mr speaker, the prime minister went to brussels last week to make what she described as a generous offer to eu nationals in this country... the truth is, it is too little, too

late. that could have been done and should have been done a year ago. when labour put that very proposal to the house of commons. but by making an offer only after negotiations have begun, the prime minister's drag the issue of citizens and families deep into the complex and delicate negotiations of future trade relations with the eu bait european union, which she herself has been willing to say may result in failure. this is not a generous offer. this is confirmation the government is prepared to use people as bargaining chips. so, can the prime minister now confirm what will happen to international ‘s in this country if no deal is reached, what will happen to the rights of family reunion, which eu citizens are currently entitled to? does the prime minister in busy a five year

period eu nationals must accumulate here in britain, will also be the same for british citizens who wants to retain the right to live in other parts of the european union. and, can the prime minister tell the houseif can the prime minister tell the house if these proposals were drawn up house if these proposals were drawn up to take into account the impact on public services, especially the national health service, where there is great concern over falling numbers of nurses and doctors already, and... mr speaker, what makes the situation more remarkable, is what we learned this weekend from the former chancellor of the exchequer. immediately after last week's referendum —— last year's referendum, the government was willing to give assurances to eu nationals in this country but that was blocked in the cabinet by the prime minister, herself! this is people's lives we are talking about! neighbours, friends, husbands, wives, children. the prime minister

clearly didn't care about them then, why should they believe she cares about them now? mr speaker, the country needs a change of direction. people are tired of tough talk from a weak government and a weak prime minister. the government needs to listen, put the national interest first, and deliver a brexit, for the many, not the few, one that puts jobs, the economy and living standards first but welding a new partnership with the european union on the basis of common interests and common values. 0ne on the basis of common interests and common values. one that protects living standards and promote human rights through new trade deals throughout the world. that is what labour would do! the prime minister has no mandate at home and no mandate a broad, isn't it the case, mr speaker, that it would only be a labour government that works with the whole country that would deliver a brexit that works for all and protects jobs and living standards

that are at risk while this government remains in office? thank you, mr speaker. the right honourable gentleman has talked about a variety of issues there. parliament and transparency, we have been very clear, there will be a vote in this parliament on the deal that has been negotiated with the european union, we expect that to ta ke european union, we expect that to take place before the european parliament has an opportunity to vote on it and there will be many opportunities in legislation and other ways coming in the coming weeks and months of parliament to make its views known on these various matters. let me come onto the position that the right honourable gentleman referred to in relation to workers' rights. we are very clear, as i was in the objectives that i set out in their speech injanuary objectives that i set out in their speech in january and objectives that i set out in their speech injanuary and have continued to set out in the article 50 letter and elsewhere, we want to protect workers' rights and indeed enhance workers' rights and indeed enhance workers' rights. he talks, he talks

about no plan, i set out our objectives in the lancaster house speech and in the article 50 letter and have continued to set them out, the labour party has had seven plans on brexit in nine—month, members of the front bench, the shadow home secretary, the shadow attorney general, who wants to retain free movement, 35 labour mps who want to retain membership of the single market, neither of these, as far as lam aware, market, neither of these, as far as i am aware, were in the labour party manifesto that people stood on at the last election. then we get onto the last election. then we get onto the whole issue of... we get on to the whole issue of... we get on to theissue the whole issue of... we get on to the issue of negotiations with eu citizens and rights here in the united kingdom. i had to say to the right honourable gentleman, i find it bizarre, if not worrying, that in the position he holds, he is willing to stand in this house and say he has no care for uk citizens living in the european union. because that is what he has said and what he is

saying. isaid... i is what he has said and what he is saying. i said... i said, at an early stage, we wanted to address the rights issue, at... the european union were clear that there was no negotiation before notification... it is one of the first issues we are addressing after notification... they work there it had to be undertaken ona they work there it had to be undertaken on a reciprocal basis, and they were clear that whatever the united kingdom said, the european union would still be arguing about its proposals in relation to the protection of rights for eu citizens. people who say that we should be not dealing on this as a reciprocal basis simply do not understand what negotiations are about. the other side will be negotiating on these issues. he talks about the issue of no deal being better than a bad deal, i will tell him what i worry about in terms ofa tell him what i worry about in terms of a bad deal, i worry about those... i worry about those who

appear to suggest in europe that we should be punished in some sense for leaving the european union. i worry about those hearing, and from what he says i think the leader of the opposition is in this particular can, that we should take any deal regardless of the bill and regardless of the bill and regardless of the circumstances. he would negotiate the worst deal with the biggest possible bill. finally can i say to the right honourable gentleman, he talks about wanting a future relationship based ona wanting a future relationship based on a partnership of values, of shared values with trade deals across the world. that's exactly what i said many my statement so i suggest he starts supporting the government on its brexit arrangements. thank you, mr speaker. given brexit and our vital red line on the european court and the repeal of the 1972 act, would my right honourable friend agree that a reasonable

framework to protect resip rockal citizens' rites whilst making no concession at all on preserving our own westminster jurisdiction concession at all on preserving our own westminsterjurisdiction and own judicial sovereignty would be a tribunal system such as outline in the the house last week which would be along lines similar to the efta court and a parallel source of court agreement. my right honourable friend raises an interest proposal which of course we are looking at a variety of arrangements for the enforcement of agreement we come to. in relation to the eu citizens reel rights, if they form part of the treaty, they'll be enshrined in international law. we should recognise that our courts are world renowned and respected around the world. what i want to see
