when britain left the eu. this is a fair and serious offer. 0ur obligations in the withdrawal treaty with the eu will be binding on the uk as a matter of international law. and we will incorporate commitments into uk law guaranteeing that we'll stand firmly by our part of the deal. so our offer will give those three million eu citizens in the uk certainty about the future of their lives and about the future of their lives and a reciprocal agreement will provide the same certainty for the more than one million uk citizens living in the european union. mr speaker 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 are not withdrawing from the values and solidarity that we share with our

european neighbours. as a confident, outward looking and self—governing nation, we know that it's notjust oui’ nation, we know that it's notjust our past that is entwined in the fortu nes our past that is entwined in the fortunes of owl friends and neighbours, it's our future too. that is why we want this new, deep and special partnership and why we approach these negotiations with optimism. a good dealfor britain and europe are not competing alternatives. they are the best single path to a brighter future for all our children and grandchildren. that i believe is the future the british people voted for and that is the future i want us to secure and i commend this statement to the house. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has criticised the prime minister's proposals. he says they don't go far enough. the prime minister went to brussels last week to make what she described asa last week to make what she described as a generous offer to eu nationals in this country. the truth is, it's 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 dragged the issue of citizens and families deep into the complex and delicate negotiations of our future trade relations with the european union. she herself has been willing to say they may result in failure. this isn't a generous offer. this is confirmation the government is prepared to use people as bargaining chips. can the prime minister confirm what will happen to eu nationals if no deal is reached? what will happen to the rights of the eu? wa does the prime minister envisage the five—year period eu

nationals must accumulate here in britain will also be the same for british citizens who want to retain to right to live in other parts of the european union. that wasjeremy corbyn replying to the prime minister's statement. let's go over to the political correspondent who is at westminster for us. the prime minister saying she wants to reassure the eu nationals living here? absolutely, saying no-one should be forced to leave once britain leaves the eu. this was a statement designed to flesh out the proposals, an offer to the three million eu citizens living in the uk saying those with five years residency and continuous residency would be able to apply for what's called settled status, a new immigration status that would guarantee rights to education, health, welfare and pensions. there was one detail we didn't get from theresa may today which was the date, the cut—off date from when eu

citizens would be eligible for this so when that date would be for which they had to live here before five yea rs, they had to live here before five years, she said that would be up for negotiation with the eu, it will be no earlier than mash this year when we triggered article 50 to leave the eu and no later. she tried to reassure citizens that their families would be able to come to the uk if they were granted this settled status. so we did hear some of those details there from theresa may but labour saying that this is too little too late. you heard that comment from jeremy corbyn, labour had wanted this to be a unilateral guarantee. she said this has got to be reciprocal. the likely source is

the role of the european court of justice in protecting eu citizens‘ rights in this country which the prime minister doesn‘t want it to have any role, the european union insisting the ecj will protect their rights? the eu's already set out the broad sweep of its thinking on citizens‘ rights and it‘s very clear that it wants the european court of justice to be in charge of policing the arrangement for citizens‘ rights after brexit. but the prime minister‘s already been clear, she wa nts minister‘s already been clear, she wants the uk to leave the jurisdiction of the ecj and she wa nts jurisdiction of the ecj and she wants british courts to be in charge of these new arrangements. i think that seems to me the biggest gulf between the british and the eu positions when it comes to this crucial central issue of eu rights for citizens. thank you very much. after more than two weeks of talks, the conservatives and the democratic unionist party have agreed a deal to support theresa may‘s minority

government in parliament, in what‘s described as a ‘confidence and supply‘ arrangement. there will be £1 billion extra for health, education and infrastructure in northern ireland. the tories have also agreed to keep the triple lock on pensions, and universal winter fuel payments for pensioners. 0ur political correspondent iain watson reports. 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 the 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 votes 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 evenhandedness, the government‘s even approach, regardless of party interest, to the northern ireland peace process. that does put contiued progress at risk. the first secretary of state is talking about the agreement between the dup and the conservatives. . it's the dup and the conservatives. . it‘s in the uk‘s interests at this

crucial time. this agreement means the dup will support the government on votes on the queen‘s speech, the budget and on legislation relating to our exit from the european union and national security. it will ensure that we can govern in the national interest, strengthening and enhancing the union, keeping our country and enhancing the union, keeping our cou ntry safe, and enhancing the union, keeping our country safe, delivering prosperity for all and securing a departure from the european union which benefits all parts of the united kingdom. to support this agreement, the government will chair a coordination committee involving both parties. as members of the house are well aware and, as our ma nifesto house are well aware and, as our manifesto made clear, the conservative party has never been neutral in expressing support for the union. as this agreement states, her majesty‘s government remains fully committed to the belfast agreement and its successors, meaning we‘ll continue to govern in the interests of all parts of the community in northern ireland. these

confidence and supply arrangements in no way affect our steadfast commitment to see the reestablishment of an inclusive northern ireland executive by this thursday. the government will do everything in its power working alongside the irish government to bring the talks process to a successful conclusion in the short time which remains. mr speaker, both the government and the dup recognise the government and the dup recognise the unique circumstances of northern ireland‘s history and the effect this has had on its economy and people from all parts of the community. this government is resolute in its determination toe deliver for the whole of the united kingdom. in recognition of our commitment to support growth across all parts of the uk, we have agreed to provide additional support for the people of northern ireland. i hope this part of the agreement will play a positive role in the efforts to re—establish devolved government. funding would go to a restored northern ireland executive in the

same way as the £2.5 billion of financial support and flexibility which was made available to the executive through the 2014 stormont house agreement and in 2015 through the fresh start agreement. the government supports further cooperation with the northern ireland exective on infrastructure development in northern ireland. the uk government will allocate £200 million per yearfor two uk government will allocate £200 million per year for two years. uk government will allocate £200 million per yearfor two years. both the government and previous executives have recognised the integral part digital infrastructure plays in opening up new opportunities for growth and connectivity for both businesses and consumers. we will therefore contribute £75 million per year for two years to help provide ultra——fast broadband for northern ireland, just as we have made funding available for this purpose in communities across the united kingdom. the uk government is committed to working with the executive and others to work towards a comprehensive, ambitious set of city

deals across northern ireland to boost investment and help unlock the full potential of northern ireland. this is the sort of targeted, positive intervention the uk government can make across the uk. the success of existing deals such as those in glasgow, cardiff and swa nsea. as those in glasgow, cardiff and swansea. since 2014 the uk government‘s committed to over £1 billion of investment in scotland and wales through the programme, along with other projects. this is a continuation of our determination to bea continuation of our determination to be a government for the whole of the uk. in order to target pockets of severe deprivation so that all can benefit from growth and prosperity, the uk government will also provide £20 million a year for five years to the northern ireland executive. we will also ensure that all parts of the uk are properly reflected in the future uk shared prosperity fund as we exit the european union. mr

speaker, as our manifesto made clear, we are also increasing our commitment to investment in public services across the uk. that‘s why we pledged a minimum of £8 billion in additional nhs funding in real terms over the next five years. it‘s also why we pledged to increase funding in real terms per head in every year. our spending on the nhs in england is also translated into extra spending in scotland and wales through the barnett form loo. how thatis through the barnett form loo. how that is spent is of course a matter for the scottish and welsh governments. to address immediate priorities in northern ireland, the uk government will also allocate an additional £50 million per yearfor two years to enable the executive to address pressures in health and education. recognising the priority given by the executive to secure ago modern, sustainable health service in northern ireland, the uk government will allocate £100 million a yearfor two government will allocate £100 million a year for two yores to support the northern ireland‘s executive‘s priority of health

service transformation. the government and executive also agree on the importance of support for mental health, particularly recognising the historical impact of northern ireland‘s past on its communities. i‘m glad the shadow foreign secretary finds that amusing, mental health in northern ireland, ifind amusing, mental health in northern ireland, i find that slightly surprising. the uk government will provide money to help deliver this measure. 0ur general election ma nifesto measure. 0ur general election manifesto made clear that there would be no change in the pensions triple lock before to 20. as part of this agreement, both parties are agreed there will be no change to the triple lock for the duration of this parliament. we further agreed no change to the universal nature of the winter fuel payment. the prime minister said we would listen to what people said during the election campaign and this is an example of our doing so. campaign and this is an example of ourdoing so. mr campaign and this is an example of our doing so. mr speaker, as the party with the most seats at the

general election, the conservative party had a duty to form a government. it is right that we talk to other parties to seek to ensure that the governments can provide the confidence the country needs at this crucial time. mr speaker, i confidence the country needs at this crucialtime. mr speaker, i commend this statement to the house. mr speaker, this is a shabby and a reckless deal which has taken the government at least £1 billion to buy and whose true cost for the future of peace in northern ireland could be infinitely higher. the good friday agreement is rightly seen across the world as a model for other countries seeking to end conflict, but it's also fragile and relies, above all, on trust, good faith and the impartiality of the british government. so for the government to be put in such an agreement in jeopardy just to government to be put in such an agreement injeopardyjust to prop up agreement injeopardyjust to prop up this dismal prime minister, is nothing short of a disgrace. so can

i ask the first secretary what legal advice the government's received on whether today's agreement's compatible with its legal obligations under the good friday agreement and will he publish that advice today? mr speaker, i will not waste time discussing the so—called policy agreement set out today. after all, it was not the dup who forced this government to ditch their plans to hit pensioners' incomes. the british people did that onjune 8th. incomes. the british people did that on june 8th. no. incomes. the british people did that onjune 8th. no. this agreement is all about the money. so let me first ask the first secretary for some clarity on the funding. first, can he explain how much extra funding will be going to support infrastructure, broadband, health, education and tackling deprivation in the rest of the united kingdom? no—one would begrudge the £1 billion of extra support for these areas in northern ireland, but in scotland, in wales and other english regions of the uk, the needs are just as

great. so when will the rest of the country he great. so when will the rest of the country be getting its share? second, the agreement says there will be a consultation on reducing vat on tourism in northern ireland. now, just a year ago, the current minister of state for security told this house that the government had concluded the cost of such vat outweighed the benefits and that this was not something the government was going to consider. cani government was going to consider. can i ask the first secretary what has made the government change its mind? and in the light of his commitment today to be fair to all parts of the united kingdom, will he extend this consultation to all parts of the uk seeking to support their hospitality tourism industries and if not, high is he not including the likes of blackpool, margate or colwyn bay? thirdly, and finally, and most importantly, can the first secretary tell us this — where the extra £1 billion announced today is going to come from? during the

election, he was fond of telling interviewers that there was no magic money tree. so what has happened today? has he found the key to the secret garden? 0r today? has he found the key to the secret garden? or is the truth that, like everything else that this government says and does, it can all be ditched if it helps them to hang on to power no matter the bed fellows, no matter what the manifesto said, no matter where the money comes from, no matter the unfairness for the rest of britain and no matters the consequences for peace — that, mr speaker, is no way to lead a government and it is definitely no way to run a country. let me deal, mr speaker, with some of the detailed points that the right honourable lady‘s just made. she seems to think that providing more money for northern ireland health and education and broadband and other parts of infrastructure in

some ways makes it less likely that an executive will be formed. i can assure her, it makes it more likely that an executive will be formed. she asked about infrastructure help for the rest of the country. i‘m happy to repeat some of the things i said in my statement and add to them. we are pledged to provide £8 billion of new money for the health service, £4 billion for education and we have an overall infrastructure fund of £23 billion so the rest of the country absolutely will share in the advance in infrastructure spending that we have promised. she asked, of course, about how we can afford this. we can afford this because we have a stronger economy after seven years of conservative government. it takes some nerve for a party which had tens of billions of pounds of unfunded commitments at the election to complain about targeted

infrastructure spending and spending specifically designed to help some of the most deprived communities in this country. the party opposite also had a pledge to nationalise half of british industry and they said that wasn‘t going to cost any money because, although they would borrow the money, that didn‘t count as borrowing because they would pay it back under the profits of the industry. two thins to say to the honourable lady, if you borrow money it‘s still borrowing and secondly, after six months of a labour government running in industry, there wouldn‘t be any profits to pay back any of the borrowing. i think where she is fundamentally wrong is the thought that this doesn‘t help what is a hugely important week for northern ireland to try and make sure we restore proper devolved democratic government to northern ireland. i think helping the executive to be set up will be one of the great achievements of this

week and, what she‘s missed is that this extra support, this extra money goes to all communities in northern ireland, run by the northern ireland executive so that people from all political traditions, all communities, will benefit from this extra money. i would have thought, frankly, she would welcome that. in the discussions with the democratic unionists, did my right honourable friend make any progress on the question of protection for former service personnel who still face the possibility of prosecution many years after fatal incidents in the period of the troubles? i'm grateful to my right honourable friend for that question. the answer is yes, we seek to ensure proper fairness in the issue he raises and other legacy issues and i‘m sure

that the agreement that comes out of our talks with the dup will help advance a balanced and fair solution to those issues. mr speaker, this is quite simply a pathetic, grubby little deal demonstrating all the worst excesses of pork barrel politics designed to prop up of pork barrel politics designed to prop up a government without a majority and increasingly without any credibility whatsoever. we now know that £1.5 billion is the price that this country will have to pay to keep the shambolic government in power. this was a government that warned of a coalition of chaos. but this is much, much worse than that. as these social conservatives and the dup now exact their price from this government. this is a deal, mr speaker, not subject to the normal allocation of funds across the uk at the expense of all other nations of

the expense of all other nations of the uk. only 24 hours ago, the secretary of state for scotland was categorically assuring us that scotland would be in line for full consequencetials as a result of this dup deal. either he was inadvertently misleading the scots people or he's so completely out of the loop that he has no idea what is going on because we know scotland will get nothing, zero zilch out of this deal. can i ask the secretary of state what representations has he received from the scotland office or any of these other new scottish members of parliament that laughingly said they would stand up for scotland? laughingly said they would stand up for scotland ? if the laughingly said they would stand up for scotland? if the barnet formula is to be but passed, what is scotland to get out of this, why has the barnet formula been by passed when it's come to this deal? this is a huge test for the new scottish tory members of parliament. they either stand tory members of parliament. they eitherstand up tory members of parliament. they either stand up for scotland and scotland's funding interests, or they stand behind this chaotic government and their new best friends.

the honourable gentleman is so far wide of the mark that it‘s almost laughable. he makes a point that this comes from the block grant and specifically says this is outside the barnet formula. let me give them some facts about what‘s happening in scotland. a city deal outside the barnet formula for glasgow of £500 million. a city deal for aberdeen outside the barnet formula of £125 million. a city deal for inverness outside the barnet formula of £53 million. would he like me to go on? £5 million for the v & a in dundee outside the barnet formula. £5 million for the glasgow school of arts, £5 million for the st helens waterfront. there is huge amounts of money going to scotland outside the barnet formula, as well as inside the barnet formula and if the snp don‘t recognise this, i suggest they

go back to their constituencies and fine out what is happening in scotla nd fine out what is happening in scotland —— find out a is happening in scotland. thank you, mr speaker. can i welcome my right honourable friend's statement today. some have used this opportunistically to suggest the government's changed its policies when it comes to equality matters, particularly on equal marriage and abortion. perhaps my right honourable friend could use this opportunity to update the house on those issues. i'm extremely happy to reassure my right honourable friend... studio: questions to damian green there on the deal that‘s been struck with the dup. let‘s go to our political correspondent case mason in westminster who is listening to all of this for us —— chris mason. ultimately, the damian green, the secretary of state from his perspective, as a conservative, had to make the best of a bad moment for the conservatives. clearly they

didn‘t want this to have to happen, to shack up with the democratic unionist party and allocate rather a lot of money in the direction of northern ireland that bluntly would not have been heading there had it not have been heading there had it not been for their failure to secure a majority. you heard just a few moments ago from labour, the key question that the conservatives are going to face over and over again and which, as he pulled out of the exchanges, we still hadn‘t got an explicit answer to which is, where is that money coming from? we know it adds up to £1.5 million. a third of it was already allocated to northern ireland but with some pretty tight restrictions on how it could be spent. the other £1 billion amounting to a lot of money, £100 million for every mp the dup has, we don‘t know exactly where that is coming from and where it may have been spent instead had it not been for the par louse political situation the conservatives find themselves in. what damian green was

trying to do there was trying to make the best case that the conservatives and the dup are natural political partners, talking about the conservative party using its full title, the conservative and unionist party in doing an agreement with the democratic unionist party and also talking about what he hopes will be one of the by—products of this deal which is the restoration of power—sharing government in northern ireland which hasn‘t been around for the best part of six months. so that is the case from the conservatives and the one we will keep seeing them make in the coming days but clearly not a situation they would have wanted. even with they would have wanted. even with the democratic unionist parties, they‘ll still only have a working majority of 13 — that is not easy as far as theresa may is concerned even when it comes to the big votes, let alone the smaller ones, when the democratic unionist party reserve the right to decide on a case by case basis whether they‘ll prop up theresa may. of course coming back

to that all—importa nt theresa may. of course coming back to that all—important money, as we heard the snp there very unhappy about that being seen as unfair by other partses of the uk and also suggesting it will skew the territory there. we are hearing, and this is no surprise in the context of this deal, angry voices from scotland, we heard the scottish national party just there scotland, we heard the scottish national partyjust there in the house of commons. we have heard ca rwyn house of commons. we have heard carwyn jones, the house of commons. we have heard carwynjones, the labour first minister of wales basically saying what about us. you will have heard there that quite technical discussion in the commons about the barnet formula, that is the formula that was dreamt up in whitehall a generation ago to work out the distribution of funding from whitehall to the nations, to scotland, wales and northern ireland. crucially, as damian green set out there, this deal with the dup bypasses the barnet formula, much to the howls of anguish from the step, although mr green was able

to point to the city deals in scotla nd to point to the city deals in scotland that also bypassed the barnet formula there. then that crucial question around the peace process in northern ireland where both the british and irish governments have been committed in the good friday agreement for the best pa rt the good friday agreement for the best part of two decades to be impartial as far as matters in northern ireland between the political parties there are concerned and yet now the conservatives are in an arrangement with the democratic unionists. the way the conservatives attempt to square that circle is referring back to their official title that they say look, we have never been neutral on the central question of northern ireland‘s future, in other words them being a pro—union party and they can point to that alliance with they can point to that alliance with the democratic unionists. when you listen to voices in sinn fein and the nationalists sdlp on the other side of northern ireland‘s political divide, they raise awkward questions about where this leaves the conservatives, certainly as far as perception is concerned and potentially the argument goes in reality as well, how can they be

that impartial arbiter when they are reliant on one of the parties, the biggest one to prop them up here at westminster. now the weather with tomasz schafernaker. it is not looking great over the next few days. there is a lot of fine weather out and lots of sunshine, but the clouds are increasing. this is the first weather system that‘s heading in our direction. it will be bringing rain to northern ireland in the coming hours. but these eastern areas will stay dry. these are the temperatures around 7pm. look what happens as we go through tonight. so that rain sweeps into south—western and central parts of scotland. the lake district gets its fair share of heavy rain. some of that rain gets into wales, but the far south—east, this is where the weather will be driest tonight. if you leave your washing out,

you‘re fine. tomorrow, an unpleasant and cool day across northern areas. there could be heavy rain and we might have thunderstorms later on in the day and in the south east, but basically a real mix of weather. take that brolly with you, there could be rain at any time tomorrow. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines at 4.33pm: the prime minister is setting out the full details of the rights it wants to give eu citizens living in britain after brexit. i want to prom pletely rid assure 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. the dup has signed an agreement to support theresa may‘s minority conservative government.

northern ireland will get an extra £1 billion for health, education and infrastructure. today we have reached an agreement with the conservative party on support for government in parliament. this agreement will operate to deliver a stable government in the united kingdom‘s national interest at this vital time. councils will be supported by the government to address fire safety concerns after cladding on 60 high—rise buildings across england failed safety tests. now the sport now. hugh has got that for us including a new manager in the premiership. crystal palace have officially named former ajax and inter milan coach frank de boer as their new manager. the dutchman won four titles with ajax but lasted just 85 days in milan, before his sacking in november. he succeeds sam allardyce who left after helping palace avoid relegation from the premier league last season.

well, it‘s a huge week for the british and irish lions. they face the hurricanes tomorrow before the crucial, "must win" second test on saturday against the all blacks. the lions coach warren gatland criticised their opponents‘ tactics after the first test defeat, but all blacks coach steve hansen hit back. things have got heated between the two coaches ahead of the second test in wellington with the all blacks boss calling warren gatland predictable and desperate. he thinks murray was unfairly targeted and could have been injured. all the predictable comments from gatland. two we e ks predictable comments from gatland. two weeks ago, we cheated in the scrums. now he is saying this. it's

really, really disappointing because what he's implying is we're intentionally going out to injure someone and that's not the case. as a new zealander i expect him to know the new zealand psyche. it is not about intentionally trying to hurt somebody, it is about playing hard and fair. the lions face the hurricanes in wellington. the starting 15 has been announced. george north will start in and jonathanjoseph george north will start in and jonathan joseph will george north will start in and jonathanjoseph will play centre. they are looking to play their way in the test team. gatland said there are opportunities to be in the test team. gatland said there are opportunities to he grabbed. in the warm—up to next week‘s wimbledon, britain‘s heather watson is playing a second round match against defending champion cibulkova in eastbourne. watson‘s world ranking has slipped to 126 but she‘s looked in good form against the number four seed and has taken the first set 7—5. cibulkova has struggled throughout

the match and watson is one game away from a notable victory. it‘s now 5—4 to the british player in the second set. wildcard naomi broady lost to kristyna pliskova. the czech took the first 6—2, and whilst broady took the second on a tie—break, pliskova crusied through the decider taking it 6—1. kyle edmund has been beaten in the first round of the men‘s draw by the american donald young. the british number two lost the first set 6—4 but won the second 6—3. the world number 55 soon broke edmund and went on to take the deciding set by 6—3. wimbledon hopefuls have started qualifying at roehampton today. among them britain‘s marcus willis, who caused such a stir at last year‘s championships. he has passed the first hurdle, beating the world number 146 andrej martin of slovakia in the first round. 7-5, 7-5.

he needs to win two more matches to play at wimbledon next week. the first round is always tricky. a bit nervy at the start. nubbing a very good set. i played a couple of good games to break. i‘m happy with the win. get on the practise court and see how i can play in the next match. at the women‘s cricket world cup defending champions australia are well placed to beat west indies in their opening game in taunton. in reply to west indies 204 all out, australia, the tournament favourites, are 98 without loss in the 22nd over. that‘s all sport for now. .i‘ll have more in the next hour. we have had reaction from michel barnier the eu chief brexit negotiator on the details of the

rights of eu citizens living in the united kingdom after brexit that theresa may has been outlining in the commons. michel barnier saying that more ambition, clarity and guarantees are needed than in today‘s uk position. sojust really saying that what theresa may has outlined is not enough. he says, as you can see in that tweet there that theiraim is to you can see in that tweet there that their aim is to have there. goal is on citizens rights. it is the same level of protection as exists in eu law. so pretty definitive there. not, it sounds, impressed by what he heard from the prime minister this afternoon. one of the sticking points and it came out in the commons debate was likely to be the protection given to eu citizens living here after brexit in terms of their rights, whether it is british courts that give them protection as the government here wants or whether it‘s the european court ofjustice

which is what the eu wants and i suspect that‘s what he‘s referring to in terms of protection as in eu law. but anyway, that‘s what michel barnier is saying about it. much more on that coming up. the manufacturer of the cladding understood to have been used on grenfell tower, says it is discontinuing sales of the material, for high—rise buildings. the government is calling for cladding samples from tower blocks across the uk to be submitted for safety tests as quickly as possible. every single one of the 60 tower blocks that has been tested so far since the fire at grenfell, has failed the tests, and more than 500 more still need to be examined because they have external cladding. meanwhile, four more inquests have been opened into deaths in connection to grenfell fire. 0ur correspondent tom burridge reports. residents in camden still moving out 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 who 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 have 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 fire safety standards before grenfell tower. and, in portsmouth, the authorities are urging the government to also think and possibly act on privately 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 ought to look at.

there ought to be some consistency. if the material is unsafe 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 which apparently breached fire safety rules was installed on tower blocks across the country. let‘s speak to dr stephen ledbetter, a consultant and former director of the centre for window and cladding technology. hejoins me from bristol. soa so a cladding expert. how surprised are you that so many of these bits of cladding from so many of these tower blocks have that have been tested have failed the safety tests? well, the test that was applied to them initially was to put a flame against the surface of the panel and that was a perfectly relevant test

if the panel was a single material throughout because testing the surface was the same as testing the core. now that we have the composite panels with a separate material in the core, that test isn‘t so good because you can put it against the metal surface and it works. it doesn‘t test the core. my understanding is that the test that are being failed, the flame is being put on the edge of the panel which is wasn‘t in the original test and it is that modified test that‘s causing them to fail. ok. what's the essence of what‘s gone wrong here? is it that the panels should never have been put up? this cladding should never have been put up because, i mean, did it failthe building regulations or is it the building regulations or is it the building regulations or is it the building regulations initially that we re building regulations initially that were wrong, do you think? the building regulations are ambiguous. we have developed a test. there was a test developed and published in

2002 that would put a large flame on to the edge of the panel and that is a test that‘s required by the building regulations, but only if you have combustible material as insulation orfiller and you have combustible material as insulation or filler and people you have combustible material as insulation orfiller and people have taken these insulation orfiller and people have ta ken these panels insulation orfiller and people have taken these panels to be neither insulation orfiller and taken these panels to be neither insulation or filler and have therefore not been doing that test. so we have seen so many bits of cladding from all tower blocks failing. i mean, are all the cladding, in all the tower blocks in the country then likely to fail in your view, these safety tests?m depends on what cladding material was used on them and you would have to talk to the people who are doing the testing, i suspect that they do a firstly a visual check on the material and they are giving priority to those materials which we know are unlikely to pass the test, but i‘m not sure exactly which materials they‘re testing currently

and which ones maybe tested at a later date you would have to,s say i talk to the people doing the testing. the reclading will be an expensive and time—consuming operation, do you think? well, it's going to be expensive. we can think of, it depends on what you have to do. some buildings you have to replace the insulation as well. some are only the cladding so each one will be different. if you thought of £1 million per high rise that would perhaps be a typical figure. £1 million per high rise that would perhaps be a typicalfigure. there is another issue which is, just how fast can we make this material and put it on to the buildings. the industry has a limited capacity for doing that. you cannot re—do five yea rs doing that. you cannot re—do five years work within a matter of months. you just don‘t have the infrastructure to do that. good to talk to you. thank you for your time. in a moment a look at how the financial markets

in europe closed the day, but first the headlines on bbc news: theresa may has told mps she wants to give the three million eu nationals living in britain the same status as uk citizens after brexit. a deal has been agreed which will see the dup theresa may‘s conservative government. the party‘s ten mps will back the tories in key commons votes. the government says it will offer support to councils after cladding on 60 high—rise buildings across england fails fire safety tests. 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 osborne, who‘s 47 and from cardiff, has been charged with murder and attempted murder. 0ur religious affairs correspondent martin bashir reports from islington town hall, where staff marked the silence. the floral tribute in finsbury park — a reminder of events just a week ago.

the fourth terrorist attack injust 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 islington town hall, civic leaders, the local mayor and members of staff, many living locally, all gathered to show solidarity with the muslim community in this part of north london. a gesture greatly appreciated by the leader of 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 ofjoyous celebration amongst muslims, but following the attack last monday, joy has been replaced by sober remembrance. the us supreme court has handed victory to president trump by partially allowing his temporary ban on travellers from six mainly muslim—majority countries to come into effect. the justices will now consider in october whether the policy, which bans citizens for 90 days and refugees for 120 days, should be upheld or struck down. mr trump says the ban is needed for national security, despite criticism it‘s in violation of the us constitution. 0ur correspondent anthony zurcher is in washington for us. this has been an ongoing tussle

between mr trump and the courts so bring us up to speed. right, well what the supreme courtjustices said was that the ban could go into effect for individuals and in those six countries and refugees who did not have bone fide relationships with the united states. the court described a bone fide relationship as having family members already in the united states, to have some sort ofan the united states, to have some sort of an employment agreement with a company based in the united states, or to have an education agreement a scholarship or admission to a us school. say if you were living in iran and you were a student coming over to the us, you have been admitted to a cool in the us you could still enter into the country, but for everyone else in those six countries and individuals who had been granted refugee status and had been granted refugee status and had been vetted, the courtjustices said that donald trump can essentially close the borders to them during what they said would be a 90 day review process and all this goes on

to next autumn when the supreme court will take a closer look at this case on its merits. so why the change now given that initially this ban was knocked back? well, this was the first chance for the supreme court to take a look at it. if you ta ke court to take a look at it. if you take a look at the lower court opinions, it is interesting the court justices, they opinions, it is interesting the courtjustices, they looked a lot at the religious discrimination they saw in the ban. they said it discriminated against muslims and they looked at donald trump‘s tweets and his speeches, the supreme court justices didn‘t pay any attention to that. they looked at existing statute and presidential power and they said in areas of national security, the president has sweeping powers and that the interests of preserving the country and protecting the country outweigh any concerns of individuals abroad who do not have real ties to the us. so now six countries, whose citizens are going to be one could say

inconvenienced if that‘s not too wea k inconvenienced if that‘s not too weak a word, any response yet from those countries? no response yet. it will be interesting to see how the trump administration implements this and how the lower courts interpret bone fide relationships. it is a little vague the supreme court ruling. it leaves some flexibility what constitution a bonified relationship. staoubts can come in, but there is no guarantee what type of stu d e nts but there is no guarantee what type of students and who sort of schools they‘re going to. so we will have to wait to see how this plays out. the trump administration has said that within 72 hours of a court decision they were going to implement, reimplement the travel ban so you will see them act fairly quickly. 0k, thank you very much indeed. the royal navy‘s new aircraft carrier is due leave dock at rosyth on the firth of forth shortly, to begin sea trials. hms queen elizabeth has cost

more than £3 billion, and is the navy‘s first carrier since ark royal was decommissioned in 2011. 0nce at sea, it‘s expected to attract rather a lot of unwelcome attention from the russians. here‘s our defence correspondent jonathan beale. the biggest warship ever built in britain is about to go to sea for the very first time. it has been one of the largest, most complex engineering projects in the uk, that has taken years and cost more than £3 billion. but hms queen elizabeth is now ready to set sail. her crew of 700 are finding their way around the labyrinth inside, and getting used to life on board. yeah, the beds, just the beds alone are bigger than you get on normal ships anyway, so that‘s always a good start. yes, everything is better when it‘s newer, isn‘t it? this is just the start. it‘ll be another year before the firstjets take off and land, and she won‘t be fully operational until 2021.

but this is a significant moment for the royal navy. it‘ll have been without an aircraft carrierfor almost a decade. i think there are very few capabilities by any country that are as symbolic and totemic as a carrier‘s strike capability. submarines you can‘t see. these are very visible symbols of national power and power projection. but first, they‘ll have to carefully manoeuvre this massive ship out of the dock, with the help of 11 barges. just to give you a sense of scale, from one end of the deck to the other is about 300 metres, that is the length of the houses of parliament. as for height, from the keel to the top of that mast, that is taller than nelson‘s column and in fact they‘re going to have to lower that mast as they slide her through this dock, some very narrow spaces, and eventually having to take her under the bridges out there. that will be the beginning of her first sea trials. do you feel like the driver

of a spanking brand—new porsche, about to take it out of the garage, and you‘re petrified you‘re going to crash it? yes, but i‘m also taking a brand—new porsche out of the garage that has never been driven before, so you presume the brand—new porsche has been driven from the factory at least a distance to get it there. she has been towed out of the dock. she will be towed out into the river, and the first time we put those levers forward will be the first time we have been under our own power and moving. by tonight, hms queen elizabeth should be heading out to sea under her own power. and, later this year, if it all goes according to plan, she will be sailing into her new home of portsmouth. an original map of the first disneyland park has fetched more than £500,000 at an auction in california. the 1953 drawing was created by walt disney and his friend and artist herb ryman to secure funding for the site.

the map includes several sections which were never developed. the drawing was given to an employee, and remained out of public view for more than 60 years. now in full public view. £500,000 at auction. very nice too! time for a look at the weather. let s join tomasz schafernaker. it will be all fun and games with the weather over the next few days. the weather is not bad. we‘ve got sunshine across many parts of the country, but rain is on the way. not for everybody straightaway. some of us won‘t get the rain until tomorrow, but what is happening on the big picture here is you can see a lot of weather being pushed by an ever increasing and powerfuljet strea m ever increasing and powerfuljet stream and the first area of weather approaching our shores. the sunshine came and went across this part of

the world, but further east, you can see in scarborough it has been a beautiful day. a lovely picture from our weather watcher. this is what it looks like around about now, 5pm, in an hour‘s time, so you can see fine weather across most of england and wales. plenty of sunshine the further east you are. the further west, the hazier the skies are and you can see rain getting intojust about belfast, but this is mostly light stuff and just a few showers there across scotland. so that‘s what we have got in the short—term. this evening, that rain willjust get heavier and heavier in northern ireland. i think it‘s southern parts of northern ireland that gets the heavier rain first and then as we go through the course of this evening that rain is going to push in the direction of dumfries and galloway and most of southern scotland and the low lands and cumbria the lake district and northern parts of wales. these areas are in for a good bit of rain during the night. to the south of that, you can see it is dry. the midlands maybe a few spits and spots and the far north of scotla nd and spots and the far north of scotland dry. this is very early in

the morning. we have got three lose close to the uk. 0ne the morning. we have got three lose close to the uk. one on top of us. notice flashes of lightening to the south. there could be storms later on in the south east. so there is a lot happening on tuesday. thunderstorms here. a band of rain moving north—east wards there, cloud and spits and spots of rain. the best advice is if you are out the whole day, just take a brolly or water proofs because there could be the odd downpour. wednesday, these lows, they are here to stay. they get stalled, that‘s what happens sometimes with the weather. low pressure decides to sit and it is sitting on top of the uk on wednesday and the worst of the rain will be across these areas. when i say worst, some of us want rain, it is good for the gardens. the week ahead, unsettled. there will be spells of rain. so it won‘t be raining all the time. there will be sunshine too and obviously with all of this, it will feel cool, but one good thing, i don‘t think it will be particular wlindy because the last few days it has been pretty

blustery, hasn‘t it? today at 5: a deal is done — the dup agrees to support theresa may‘s minority conservative government, but it comes at a cost. it‘s taken 18 days for the terms of the deal to be agreed. northern ireland will get an extra £1 billion of investment over two years. this agreement will operate to deliver a stable government in the united kingdom‘s national interest at this vital time. but critics say it hinders the search for a power—sharing deal at stormont and scotland and wales say they‘ve been cheated of extra money. people in scotland, and notjust in scotland, elsewhere, are going to be outraged by the way that this government has done this rather grubby and shabby deal. we‘ll have details and reaction and we‘ll be talking to the first minister of wales, labour‘s ca rwyn jones. the other main stories on bbc news at 5: theresa may tells mps she wants to give the three million eu nationals living in britain the same status as uk citizens after brexit.
