i don't know for relative figures. i don't know for ta ke two relative figures. i don't know for take two but it will be a great deal of money. there is an old saying that once you have bought off, the damon gold, you never get rid of the dane. two years from now they will be back what are the scottish conservative screen to see? what are the welsh conservative screen to see? what are the conservatives are presenting a marginal seat in the west cou ntry presenting a marginal seat in the west country went to see? and the good to sit back and say we're going to have this increased public expenditure which taxes have to finance in order to help a particular part of the united kingdom question mark i think that's difficult to believe. there is the second point which i think we will see more often people calculate what it would cost to spread that money fairly across the united kingdom and how much has today's announcement actually added to public expenditure

and taxes and one final point, to what extent isjeremy corbyn no going to see we have had a conservative government trying to reduce public expenditure quite rightly in my view, what happens which marks suddenly it indicates that it was necessary at all. you can now increase the borrowing and public expenditure. do you think that maybe the impact that the chancellor and his budget, he has one black hole to fill because she had to withdraw some proposals on taxation for business, whether he is a good enough to find extra money for other parts of the uk and some of the city deals for england that you were partly involved in promoting question mark in order to deal with some of this potential political battling elsewhere. frankly even that is nothing compared with the dilemma the government faces, the splits in the cabinet in the government and the conservative party, and the country

over brexit. that is no going to dominate the rest of the next two or three years, that uncertainty and divisiveness and that cost. the government has a real challenge, it hasn't got a working majority for the parliament, admit it to three yea rs the parliament, admit it to three years but the real challenge for the conservatives to have a message and a leader who can take on the challenge of a relatively short—term parliament. they quickly does the party need to go about that process? are you worried there is a kind of sense at westminster that theresa may isn't expected to be in place come the next election and people are waiting for the moment when something triggers a leadership challenge but it would be better to clear the air more quickly?” challenge but it would be better to clear the air more quickly? i think you're great to see it as the easy option to see tomorrow, tomorrow.

the fact is it is unpredictable. when this challenge will have to be faced, certainly 80 months or two yea rs faced, certainly 80 months or two years and it seems to me that theresa may's good service to the conservative party is to make sure that that we not only know who is gradually departed but what are they going to say because we are not in a strong position with the present divisiveness which is deeply ingrained in brexit. what did you make of the payments to's statement on the offer she was making on the protection of rights of people born in the eu? i was persuaded before the election that the government had every intention of honouring the interests of the people, europeans here. i had a lot of correspondence, edge percent the house of lords

speech to people writing to me seeing it is a black—and—white so i think there is every intention of honouring the very understandable human dilemma associated with the brits there and the europeans here. some business prices have been concerned about whether this might become a disincentive for people considering a career options in london and the south—east of england, particularly because those are the big draws for a lot of european nationals compared to going to other countries and one thing in particular they are worried about is what happens to dependence. elderly relatives or children, that maybe something that would put people off taking a job something that would put people off taking ajob in something that would put people off taking a job in the uk, what do you think? there isn't any doubt that brexit has now created a cloud under which people are making judgments. businessmen are looking at their investment, not just a businessmen are looking at their investment, notjust a british businessmen overseas investment. people looking at jobs businessmen overseas investment. people looking atjobs in the uk,

and told significant numbers of them are leaving the uk to go back perhaps to europe forever it may be. this is at the very early stage and we have got nothing about certainty, uncertainty dilemmas, traumas, name—calling, that will be the background for the next two years and this will put off people and it is good to put off investment. people will say this was the cassandra like a warning before the referendum. a free vote to leave investment will disappear and the economy will be on the skids and didn't happen at a pressure people believe that this will happen when in those concerns and worries that we re in those concerns and worries that were raised by people looking to pass question mark the pound has been developed by 13% approximately. whenever that happens you get a boost to exports but one that always happens in this country is over by letting, inflation seeps in and

erodes the benefit of the devaluation and that is beginning to happen. the inflationary pressures arising. we could easily see any time interest rate increases. the effect on a very large number people with low interest mortgages eat into their living standards so the forecasts that were made have taken some time to come. 0ne forecasts that were made have taken some time to come. one reason is that the consumers have been spending their savings, not out of what they can afford, out of what they can raise by borrowing. that is pa rt they can raise by borrowing. that is part of what happened before 2008. the forecasts broadly agreed to work out and every commentator that i read whatever side of the argument, and is good to be a very rocky period. have you prepared to accept this baby brexit could turn out to bea this baby brexit could turn out to be a blessing for britain and the long—term? be a blessing for britain and the long-term? there there is no way,

you cannot have a situation very country of the significance within the european family is excluded from the european family is excluded from the room making processes that will dominate that country, commuter‘s economy. that is what doing, we are opting out. there are compromises of the sort of governors is on offer are those where you get told what decisions are being made and you will have to conform with them. the other option is you are not even there in which case you have abandoned a market which is a 45% of our trade. what has attained, thank you. more now on the nationwide safety tests being undertaken on high—rise buildings after the grenfell tower fire earlier this month. earlier the communities and local government secretary, sajid javid, addressed the house of commons. he told mps that 75 buildings have now failed flammability tests —— that's a failure rate of 100%. my department has contacted all councils and housing associations, asking them to identify all tall buildings, residential buildings,

in england that they're responsible for which have potentially similar cladding. we estimate this number to be around 600. 0n i8thjune, we wrote to them and asked them to start sending samples and on 21stjune our combustibility testing programme for aluminium composite material started, run by the building research establishment. 0n 22nd june, the government provided advice to all these landlords about interim safety measures, where a building has acm cladding that is unlikely to be compliant with building regulations. this advice was recommended by an independent panel of experts and includes advice based on the emerging findings from the metropolitan police investigation into grenfell tower. i can inform the house that of midday today, the cladding from 75 high rise buildings in 26 local authority areas has

failed the combustibility test. a former mp who called for a parliamentary inquiry after a fire in his constituency in 1999 has said authorities in england did not take its recommendations into consideration. brian donohoe represented an area in ayrshire where a 55—year—old man was killed in a high rise fire. it was partly as a result of the investigations for this inquiry that building regulations in scotland were changed. catriona renton reports. the fire in his 14th floor high—rise in ireland ini989 the fire in his 14th floor high—rise in ireland in 1989 left one man dead and five others injured. the blaze started on the fourth floor and the cladding caught fire. the local mp called for a parliamentary enquiry. i had surgery is that powerful afterwards by people wanted to get out of these flats as soon as

possible. it was understood there we re possible. it was understood there were a number of properties of a similar nature in other parts of scotland, i want to name them but they were changed and the cladding taken away. after the fire in 1989 in the ink aquarium is held at westminster and reported in the year 2000. the building scotland act received royal assent and regulations were published that came into force in 2005. in 1989 when there was a tragic fire that led to a revisiting of regulations that meant that all cladding and high rise buildings had to be noncombustible. it became mandatory that every body had to be constructed in such a way that the spread of fire on external walls is inhibited. it sticks in my throat that having

done the enquiry, there was one in 1995 exactly the same situation, but has been others since and yet government but i think remiss and the responsibilities and duties to the responsibilities and duties to the people in this properties and we have a have a position where there is any blame you put on my shoulders asa is any blame you put on my shoulders as a consequence was that i have a clear conscience. it must be people going to the bed at night without that. i have to say that. there will be further investigations. the holyrood committee will take evidence in september after the parliamentary recess. was a view last week you complete it

was too hot and desperate for rental gardens, be careful what you wish for. a beautiful day and a natural fa ct we for. a beautiful day and a natural fact we had some warmth in the south—east. highs of 25 recorded close to the london area. code is gathering to the north and west in belfast, some threatening looking skies into the afternoon, rain is on its way. closed at the moment and some of that rain are quite heavy. good news for gardeners and growers, rain pushing through northern ireland and scotland and wales is recourse through the evening. some quite heavy particularly on west facing slopes as it taxes wasted lay north and east. some rain later and patchy across parts of wales. farther south quite muddy through the night to butchers around 15 or 16 and he north of the rain it be chilly with low single figures into sheltered north—east. chilly start

but a dry with rain on tuesday morning sitting across the western isles and through scotland and the central lowlands. heavy perhaps for the early morning rush—hour. the same across north—west england and into wales. betsy south of the midlands, and to south—east and south—west. 0ff drive hundred of the mild with highs of around 17 degrees. easy to start to build, quit if you would feel to the south which could trigger off some sharp thundery downpours. the rain continues to track steadily north and east so after a chilly drive start in the northern isles it is all change. sunny spells, scattered showers and breezy for the end of the day. we are surrounded by low pressure late on tuesday into wednesday so that will be some spells of rain continuing during the early hours of wednesday, some really quite heavy possibly thundery. that will be the story

onto wednesday, a downpourfor the gardens but not great if you have outdoor plans. the week ahead looks pretty unsettled, spells of rain and it will turn cooler and less summer like. take care. this is bbc news. the headlines at eight. at last the deal is done — theresa may gets democratic unionist party backing for her minority government. today we have reached an outcome that is good for the united kingdom, good for northern ireland and allows our nation to move forward to tackle the challenges ahead. 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. the grenfell tower aftermath — every high—rise that's been checked

has failed its fire safety test — 75 and counting. we have been evacuated we are homeless we are on the streets, this is my anger to those who are responsible. theresa may tells mps she wants to give the 3 million eu nationals
